PLEASE VISIT THE AUTHOR'S SITE ABOVE FOR DOWNLOAD OF THIS GREAT UPDATED FILE! I HAVE INCLUDED SCREENSHOTS OF THIS PROGRAM BELOW FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE!
Description:
PocketCM is a finger friendly contact application for PDA phone, it will allow you to scroll to you list of contacts, call them and edit them.
Actually it's the rewrite in native of ContactManager, a .NET version of a finger friendly contact.
Are you using a VGA device? You'll need to download and install a VGA theme here.
If you are using a device with a 240px square screen, you'll need the a theme that support this screen size.
What's different from other contact application:
It can be used with fingers, no need to get your stylus. Finding contact with your finger is really easy, it's different than other software: if you press you finger on the left or right border of the screen it will allow you to select the letter you're searching for, release the finger, it will show you the contact starting with this letter. Why does it work? Human being cannot point directly to the right letter on a small screen, however human are very precise while moving their finger. So you press the screen, see the feedback, adjust the position to the right letter... and you're done!
It's animated: the list scroll with your finger in a natural movement, the transition between contact detail and contact list are animated.
You can set contact as favorites, they will appear in the favorite list, perfect to get a quicklist of contacts under the finger.
You can edit your contact picture from the software, simply tap on the contact picture.
You can customize about everything by changing the setting.ini: color, font, background image, etc...
From ContactManager here's what's new/modified:
- Native version: this version doesn't use .NET compact framework, it's written in C++.
- Faster version: I've put some time improving performance, on my device, it goes quite well, tell me about you.
- Faster display: drawing is also optimized, however, it may have some issue for advanced theming, tell me about it.
- New fade effect while calling/edit conact/set picture, this offer a better transition between application, tell me what you think.
- Contact update if added/changed/deleted from other application (including activesync).
- Memory footprint: No more .NET crap, picture of contact should also take less memory.
- Ability to remove contact picture.
- Edit contact now goes to edit page directly.
- New contact now goes to edit page directly.
- New theme packaging (a theme in one file instead of many).
- Letter bar between contact.
- New setting for non latin alphabet (coming with localization but now it's technically possible).
- SMS conversation panel: hitting SMS button now goes to an SMS page. It will allow to send an SMS display previous conversation with this contact...
Installation instruction:
- Create a new folder on your device.
- Unzip the content of the zip.
- Launch PocketCM.exe.
Note:
To close PocketCM Contacts, press for 250 ms to phone button at the bottom right of the screen. To minimize PocketCM Contacts, tap in the upper right corner.
To send SMS using PocketCM Contact, you have to hold the send button for at least 250 ms. It's a feature (that will be enhanced in future version) to avoid accidentaly send of messages.

I like to share this gesture recognition app for those who like to draw ideas, concepts and designs fast. It is designed purely for speed and simplicity. The app is optimized for both phones and tablets of any screen sizes. Almost everything is using gesture so check out the youtube video if you are interested in the workflow
youtu.be/SI9VdC_JYWU
What we hope from xda-developers community inputs:
- Feedback about our gesture recognition and what particular gesture we need to improve
- Any feature such as shapes or images that we missed for your diagramming needs
- Any things you like us to work on
- Starting tips that you think will help others learn faster
Here are some helpful starting tips:
• To Pan the surface, you use two fingers and maintain the same spacing between them. Using the thumb and the index finger seems to be the easiest for me.
• When selecting a shape or a group of shapes, you can delete it by drawing “x” or copy it by drawing “+”. You can draw anywhere on the canvas but don’t draw it bigger than 1/3 of the screen.
• You are likely to draw unwanted lines or unrecognized shapes in red strokes. Simply touch the surface with two fingers will clear those lines. However, you should ignore it and continue to draw over it with a successful shape or action and these unwanted lines will automatically go away. Do NOT Use the “undo button” for these red strokes.
• When drawing connectors, you should try to start in the middle of the first shape and end your connector stroke within the middle of the second shape. Any point within the shape is still ok.
• You can select a boundary box by touching its border only. Likewise, you can double tap on the border for labeling.
• Check out our website tutorial slides for other drawing gestures (drawexpress.com).
Here are some of typical diagrams you can draw:
Software and Network Designs:
- Use case
- Sequence Diagram
- Class Diagram
- State Diagram
- ER Diagram
- Data Flow Diagram
- Network Diagram
Business Processes and Mind Maps:
- Flowchart
- Organization Chart
- Process Flow
- Mind map
- Feature List
- Decision Tree
- Visual Notes
We have two versions DrawExpress Diagram and DrawExpress Diagram Lite
The Lite version is free and can be found under Google Play

Some sample screenshots in attachments:
I was finding my Archos 43 Gen7 device with its puny 256mb RAM unusable with regular launchers so I decided to roll my own from scratch: TinyLaunch.
The main development rules were:
- use very little RAM
- run on lots of devices (currently, back to Android 1.6)
- get out of the way and avoid doing anything in the background while other apps are running
- run fast once it's configured (but currently the configuration app scan is slow)
- nothing extraneous--no pretty extra icons, no help information, and of course no ads of any sort (not even a link to my other apps--all that is wasted memory)
I plan for the apk never to exceed 40K. Currently it's 26K: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9SH82NXqz3WREtqa0FWckF3TFU/
This is *extremely* low-featured. At base, it just presents a simple scrolling list of apps (with categorization features) with no icons (though you can turn on icons, at the expense of some speed: Menu, Settings). You tap on an app and there you are.
In particular:
- UGLY
- no widgets
- no shortcuts
- no automatic updates when apps are installed or removed
These limitations may make this useless to you. But if you just want a list of apps for launching, e.g., on a device for your kids to play with, TinyLaunch may be the thing for you.
The first time you run TinyLaunch needs to scan for apps. This is a very slow process on my Archos 43 (at least for apps moved to SD), though faster on modern devices. You also need to manually rescan apps after adding or removing apps. To do that, press MENU and Scan.
Instead of folders, I implemented a category system inspired by PalmOS, though with some variations (the main one is that apps can be in more than one category).
By default there are three special categories: All, Unclassified and Hidden. You can make some custom categories like "Games" and "Math and Science" by pressing MENU and New Category. To categorize apps, the easiest way is to switch the category to Unclassified (tap on the category selector at the top of the screen), and then long tap on an app to choose how to classify it. The app then disappears from the Unclassified category. Note that the Hidden category is a special category that hides apps from the All and Unclassified views (though a Hidden app can still show up in other categories if you like).
As I said, currently it's just a simple vertical list of apps. Eventually, I may implement the more usual tile-based view (making it look even more like PalmOS) if I can do so without detracting from development rules.

Attemption to get 3 of 3:
- big buttons
- full buttons set
- big visible area of the running application
Generally designed for two-handed input in landscape mode.
Mimic side-sliders physical keyboard. Enforces landscape screen-mode
Current status: community expectations
FAQ: v0.5 and higher
1. What's the idea, advantages, strong sides?
- Big, semitransparent, only and just for landscape.
Enforces landscape by itself. Designed for two-handed usage.
Also - automatically switches system back to the previous IME,
so you'll be using whatever keybard you like in portrait.
- (from v0.6) working hotkeys on Ctrl+key
(...on android 3.0 and higher; try Menu+key on android 2.x)
2. How to launch?
- Settings > Languages and Input
Enable "Bumper", and set it as the default keyboard.
3. Where is the preferences?
- Settings > Languages and Input.
Search for button/line marked "Bumper".
4. Wow, i've just enabled it, and the phone/tabled are now fixed in landscape! Make everything back!
- Slow down, that's the point! Keyboard enforces your device to stay in landscape.
So, the main way to get things back - choose/launch another one.
5. That's weird. Are you suppose I'll go to the Settings each time?!
- Of course no! You only have to enable "Bumper" in accessibilities,
this will create quick-access area at the top-right corner of the screen.
6. I've enabled accessibility, and see weird semitransparent pink box.
- You are on the right way. It is the "quick-access area". Now, you can do next things:
a. tap it: force keyboard appear/hide
b. swipe-down: show keyboard picker
c. swipe right-to-left: minimize area into notification
d. swipe left-to-right: switch back to the previous IME, if "Bumper" is ongoing
e. long press: preferences
7. Do I need to use keyboard picker dialog each time i wanna lauch Bumper?
- Yeas, there are no other "non-root" way to switch the system to new IME - only you can do it, manually.
From the other hand, currently set IME is able to freely switch system to the any other enabled IME (and die after that, ha-ha)
8. I wanna change layout/labels/language, or add new. What I have to do?
First of, you have to create somewhere folder, and specify it's path in the preferences.
After that, you are free to put your custom files according to subfolders structure:
- "layouts" - there are button grids expected
- "labels" - what to draw on the keys
- "kcms" - similar to android kcm files, except of "axis" and "map" signatures are not currently supported
- "themes" - appearance
9. I wanna change layout/labels/language, any readings?
You can unpack apk as a simple zip, and check for content inside of "assets" folder.
All used files are the plain text, so you'll need any text editor.
Key names:
keycode names in cm11 sources
they are again, in cm12 sources
Notes about labels:
Instead of .kcm files, there are sequences of the Unicode characters allowed.
But the space character is allowed only stand-alone, so use \u0020 insead.
More info:
Related targets:
- KCM* files community, for more languages support
- Button-grids and layout-localization community, just for project's growing
- Linux-on-phone community can also find it usefull, I think
*KCM-parser currently used allows only "key" description in file, "map" and "axis" signatures will cause errors
Dev notes:
- since I'm a newbie in development, project will grow slowly
- but when I'll not be scared of own code anymore, I'll make it open-source
- you are free to make repacks/reposts. (WTFPL)
- you are free to make own similar projects. Just post link here, maybe i'll use your one =)
- behaviour is sensitive to the whole **** going on deep inside android, can't fight with that
Credits:
- will be added during beta test, but you can ask in PM
Download: alpha 0.8 (2016 mar 13)
Lack some language? Make your own .kcm
Application Not Responding in LG Optimus 4x HD [ICS]
Update: alpha 0.4
What's new:
- added correct portrait-mode support
- added non-overlay mode for landscape (breaks the whole idea, lol)
- support of autopopup
- added basic (primitive) settings
There are still 2 separated versions due to hardcoded reasons.
You are free (and welcomed) to make own repacks based on ru-en version if you need 2 languages.
External data support - update 0.4.2
It's a starting point for the comunity: now you can freely add custom files.
Ho to load files from sdcard:
1. Create the "root" folder somewhere you wish.
2. Make subfolders you need, you'll be placing files here*:
- "layouts" for key layouts
- "labels" for displayed key names
- "kcms" for .kcm files - languages support
3. Specify the path to the "root" folder in preferences.
This files are plain text, so you can modify them by simple notepad
Examples may be unpacked directly from apk, they contain small helping notes
* - "root" subfolders structure are similar to "assets" structure inside the apk.
Files from the "assets" are listed dynamically, so it's easier now to make own repacks, but the "defaults" are still hardcoded.
What's new:
- additional files may be loaded from sdcard
- preferences to switch layouts and labels
- preferences to manage languages
- vibration may be switched off
If you want to write your own layout, check out for the keycode names:
keycode names in cm11 sources
they are again, in cm12 sources
Dev (mine) request: post here .kcm files of not yet supported languages, they'll be included in the future builds. And share the keyboard layouts.
Update 0.4.3 - Small fixes
What's new:
- fixed unicode character sequence reading from .labels.txt files
- added quick-toast notification on language switch
- added Ukranian kcm and labels (due to my location)
Remind you: For more languages be supported, make appropriate .kcm files
How to load files dynamically from sdcard:
If you unpack apk like a zip, you'll find "assets" folder with 3 subfolders:
- layouts //grids of keys
- labels //names of the keys, displayed to user
- kcms //languages
Make somewhere on the sdcard "root" folder with similar subfolders you need,
and specify the path to this "root" folder in the app preferences.
That's all. Now, files will be listed from this subfolders.
I'm thinking on way of keys autorepeat realization, so it'll be the next ferature.
Bumper alpha 05 - back to original concept
What's new:
- removed portrait mode support (instead - previous IME is auto-enabled)
- removed non-transparent mode
- trigger is now on separated service (which have to be enabled in "accessibilities")
There are also updated first post, to match changes.
Bumper alpha 06 - autorepeat & hotkeys support
What's new:
- keys are autorepeating!
- hotkeys (Ctrl+X/C/V/A/arrows) are working! on android 3.0+
- Enter now calls for fields action
Any feedbacks? Any custom .kcm files or grids?
Notes about hotkeys:
- I haven't reimplemented the existing wheels, just made better communication with android, so hotkeys on Ctrl work on 3.0+ since it was presented in android 3.0
- As far as I know it could be possible to use Menu+X/C/V combinations on
Android prior to 3.0. Can't test it without device.
- Opera mini freezes/crashes on Ctrl+key combinations outside of input fields (you could force Bumper appear anywhere, remember?). Not my fault. AFAIK it behaves similar with physical keyboards.
Bumper alpha 07 - themeable, little improvements
What's new:
- customizable themes*
- quick access area now looks nice
- new gesture on QAA: long press -> preferences
- QAA contains CAPS/SCROLL/NUM lock's ligths/lamps
- CapsLock at the first row (where was big dead key)
- better stability during typing
*place theme files into [directory_in_preferences]/themes/
Bumper alpha 0.8 - sticky modifiers, fn key support
What's new
- sticky mode (affects Shift's/Ctrl's/Alt's)*
- fn+key -> another key**
- "key_toggled: " field in the themes
- theme files are checked for the errors, like other files do
- changed included set of keyboards
- minor fixes
*first tap - key is sticked, second - toggled, third - released
You could use modifiers as before (till pressed), since sticked state will not be set in case of non-modifier was pressed when modifies was being holded
** Check for assets inside of apk for more info
It seams like I have 8-10 followers, who are waiting for each update...
Don't be silent!
P.S. Updates... There will be no any new features for some months, I think.
