Hi guys!
I have to use this wonderful device in my car.
Unfortunately, I'm in difficult to find a car holder that allows to easily rotate the device, so I've decided to make it work in the landscape mode.
Is it possible to make Sense and application follow orientation by the sensor?
Does any software to manage this exists?
Best regards
Would be a first, or would it? At one point there was an app that could flip the home screen(IF that is what you are talking about). At the moment the name of this app evades my mind. If I happen to come by it, I will most certainly post again!

Basically I wasn't overly impressed when I saw the iphone in terms of what it did, because it doesn't do anything my WM5 doesn't. the only thing I was impressed at was the interface, the total touch screen etc(altho it is missing a qwerty key board which I couldn't live with out). One part of the touch screen interface that I was the most impressed with was the finger dragging, scrolling! But this can be done on WM5 devices because I've already downloaded Sygic's .mobile which allows you to do it through your contacts.
So Basically I'm sure that one of the many clever programmers on here could write a little program that allows you to use finger scrolling where ever a scroll bar is needed? I.e. file emplorer, music menu(windows media player), text message list, photos, etc.
Or if someone knows where I could get such a program from?
Thanks
this would be sweet because we windows fans wouldn't have to convert to the darkside.
just like the early dayds of apple.....microsoft swoops in and reinvents the game. but only thing it aint microsoft doing this.
why buy a new phone when u can take the guts of it and dump it into your own
good job on the programers you guys rock.
Check this video out, the guy has done just that!
http://techdigest.tv/2007/02/watch_the_iphon.html
I've seen that video already, but thanks. it was that and the program .mobile that made me hope that someone on here would be able to do it for the rest of the windows mobile platform! if I was talented enough I'd do it myself but this is way beyond me. i just think it would be a great to be able to navigate menus and list and make life a lot easier.
Can we download it from somewhere?
Download What?
that GUI seen on that video.
the best program to make it look like that is wisbar desktop but it costs! has for the menu scrolling i haven't got a clue thats why i was hoping someone may be able to write a program on here for it

Agree, i used the wisbar advance, but the scrolling gui was amazing!
I am wondering how he did it?
it was, but i don't know how he did it! i know you can down load a program called .mobile and that allows you to scroll through your contact like that, so it clearly can be done! so someone must be able to do it for the rest of the phone?!??!
What is it that can or can't be done guys?
Picsel Browser uses momentum based full screen drag scrolling, amongst other apps. It's not a difficult thing to do. The implementation in the video is particularly nice (if not particularly useful IMHO), but it's not some kind of mystical voodoo. It's just programming.

vijay,
I don't think you would be capable of doing this, no way....
(ps: please, please rise to the challenge!)
On a serious note the Universal lacks a scroll wheel which I have always had on my previous PDAs. To be able to have a generic touchscreen based scrolling mechanism would be very useful (ie not just for tracks and contacts, but for everything).
Can anyone post a link to the download of this?
slider lock feature.....
Guys,
According to his website, before it was suspended...
He says he was using
PPL1.20. PPL which can be downloaded for free from http://arianesoft.ca
I downoaded this but have no idea on how to use it to get the same results?
Anyone interested in getting the slider lock portion of that video working?

As explained by Vijay this is just programming. If you dont have programming skills, just forget it. If you do then the technical part is not that difficult. The whole point is more about doinga nice design
Anyway let's hope he will make is work public (The scrolling bar is one thing, but the whole setup is actually nice...)
If anyone has this (doubt the guy gave it out before he got shut down) but in case he did... i would like to get my hands on this...
the point of me starting this thread was to see if anyone on here knew where I could get a program that would allow me to scroll all the menus and lists in my WM5 by dragging my finger across the screen, if there wasn't already a program out there then I wondered if someone could write a program for it? as my skills in this area are nowhere near good enough! I think a program like this with look great but more importantly be really useful, as I use my finger to navigate through most of my phone.
if this is just programing, please can someone with the skills do it????
Thanks
the m600-iphone clon demovideo is no longer available at youtube....
the apple tentacles are very lengths...
INTERESTINGLY.. this guy is a Malaysian (Chinese). . and I would have thought such geeky move ought to be from the States.
well i have a spare wizard to try this on if some one can direct me on what software to use. i have some spare time lol
hello all,
does the polaris have tactile feedback or is there a third party app which will provide this?
I have searched and searched but could find any trace.
cheers
Marc
What do you mean by "tactile feedback"? Reporting problems to M$? If so, you can enable this.
if you mean a gyroscope orintation detector like iphone then no i dont believe so
Nope not the function that would rotate screen depending on how i was holding the device.
what i mean is a function or third party app that would feedback when entering text on the screen, niether by making a noise or better still a short virbatration. similar to the LG VIEWTY or the new symbian touch platform that they are developing?
cheers

No, there is no tactile or haptic feedback on touch cruise.
(Like the one you get with xbox controllers ... ...... not in touch cruise though.)
Still, it is the BEST. VIEWTY or symbians ar nowhere close to what TC is.

That's a good question. I wonder if something like this exists also. Maybe we can find something to cook into the ROM....let's all look around.
there is a post here that has a lot of good addons for touch cruise, just got mine + i havnt found the thread yet, looking now
found it, here ya go!!! its number 6 in the list of tweaks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355277
sweet you are a star!!!
Thats it my mind is set on getting the O2 XDA ORBIT 2.

There is a very old application on this forum from the xda days called "vibrate" which only vibrated when you dial numbers in the phone application. Perhaps the smart people of this forum can extend that functionality to all screen taps, or specific input formats.
Hello, I've been searching XDA forums but I couldn't find what I'm looking for. Can someone please help me out =)
I have a HTC touch pro. I am having trouble with the.. 'touch experience' while using this phone (sorry, I don't know how to word it properly).
Pretty much, when using an iphone, or xperia x10 (or other new phones with good capacitive touch screens) the touch experience (i.e. easily 'flicking' through photos, book pages, etc, WITHOUT the phone opening an app in case I touch it while flicking) is wonderful. With the HTC 50% of the time when I try and 'flick', it simply doesn't work (because it's a resistive screen) and 50% of the time I end up opening a program or the menu pops up or something / some app opens (things I have no intention of opening). Is there a program that both increases the sensitivity of the resistive screen so that it requires less force AND ALSO, VERY IMPORTANTLY, does NOT open an app when I try to 'flick'. For example, can the program integrate a "if else" function; in order to open an app on the phone, the finger must touch the app for 0.5+ milliseconds (0.5 or more), IF ELSE flick screen in direction the finger moved.
The only program that I came across that might be what I'm looking for is “advanced_configuration_tool_v3.3" I was wondering if this program can do what I'm saying, and if it can, can someone please show me HOW to do this with this? If this is not the program that can do this, is there one that can?
can someone please give me a hint to whether this question is
a) a stupid question that's been solved elsewhere.. (so I can go look for it) orr
b) there is no solution as of the moment?
=S
Hi Guys,
I´m thinking really hard now about buying myself the Samsung Galaxy Note. However, what I really need it for as wel, is navigating in a hopefully relaxing way. Over the years I grew fond of working with the TomTom Navigation software on my Windows devices (the HTC HD2 is now my latest), but untill now (as far as I know), TomTom has no real navigation software purely for the Android devices. So, I stumbled on to the "SYGIC" navigation software and started reading about it.
I read that SYGIC could give "some problems" on the Galaxy Note, but fortunately, I recently read (I forgot where) that people are working with it now on their Note flawlessly with the latest SYGIC upgrade. Also I read, that the Note could not navigate in "Landscape", wich I'm very sorry to find. However, could anyone please tell me if this is because the Note is not simply able to, or is it just the navigation software itself? In that case, could anyone tell me if "SYGIC" is able to navagate in "landscape" on this device, or, for that matter, can anyone tell me wich navigation software DOES navigate in "landscape" on the Galaxy Note?
And last but not least: if the Galaxy Note is NOT able to let you navigate in "landscape", are you guys familiair allready with some kind of a "patch" or procedure, that could solve this problem? I know that I had the same problem with my HTC HD2 at the time, but then I found a piece of sofware that made the TomTom software navigate in "landscape" as well.
I hope to hear from you soon; Thank you!
(My appologies for my poor English!)

I can't speak specifically for the Note, but I have an S2 and it allows rotation in the native navigation app. I'd be very surprised if it doesn't work on the Note. Also, if it doesn't then that's down to the app, not the device (assuming of course that the Note does support rotation ))
There's app(s) available on the market that force specific rotation for specific apps - that may be helpful for you. I'll have a look and see if I can find one.
Edit: This will do the trick...
https://market.android.com/details?id=AutomateIt.mainPackage
You can set specific things to happen on specific events, the one in question being your navigation app running. You can make it enable rotation when the app runs. I was hoping you could force orientation with it, but you can't. Still definitely worth a shot.
Thank you for your reply. I'll remember this link for the moment I'll have my Note...

Okay I haven't posted before.
And I know xda is rather strict with the rules so I've thoroughly searched for what I'm looking for and I really hope I'm posting in the right place.
Because I haven't found it and so I hope someone can help me out.
Recently I bought an external keyboard that connects via bluetooth to my Galaxy Note II N7100. I bought it because my school allows me to take notes on the device instead of hand writing everything.
But one day, I was in the library doing some homework and I got a little bored.
So I opened the '30th anniversary of pacman' game that Google once put on their page (if you don't know what I'm talking about, just Google "30th anniversary of Pacman Google").
To my surprise, the keys on the external keyboard were able to control my Pacman!
So this got me thinking.
What if I could control more than just Pacman with my keyboard?
Boost 2, for example?
So i was wondering, is there anyway I'd be able to control the accelerometer with my arrow keys?
And if so, can someone tell me how i would do this?
I've rooted my phablet and I'm able to decompile/recompile, navigate and edit files, etc.
I just need to know what exactly needs to be changed to allow such a feat.
So please, for the sake of procrastination...
Help?
Thanks in advance,
Josh.
