working iphone slide lock and mp3 scroller for WM5???

Check this out... http://techdigest.tv/2007/02/watch_the_iphon.html The working slide lock and scrolling mp3 library is cool. Wouldn't mind getting ahold of that software.

oh my god
how do you do the unlock scroll button. i cant figure it out
iphone who what where........haha this is great. oh this gonna be great if they perfect that scrolling feature.

I just want the locker...

how do we do this. and how to get the slide to work. enlighten us or me.
im using the meizu theme which is better that the iphone theme. the wishbar skin is very accurate with the signal strength plus it kicks ass on my 8525

No idea how he did either one. Perhaps it's flash based.

Slider lock
Guys,
He's using something called,
PPL1.20. PPL can be downloaded for free from http://arianesoft.ca
I installed this, but have no clue on how to use it!!!
http://www.tzywen.com/index.php
Any help here?

The video demo is really impressive...
I hope he'l sheare his develpment
To be honest I dont find faking the iPhone very exciting. However many concept in the interface are worth having (Like the sliding lock, the big icons "a la" claunch, etc...
What would be great is use what he developped and then configure our own icons, background, etc... That do not have to be Apple's one (Yes Apple's oens look good but sooner or later we'll get tired of them...)
Kind of a way to have the best of both worlds

+1 that theme is unreal.

It requires programming skills
Basically if what the video shows is tue he did quite a good programming job there (Actually PPL seems ike an interesting tool)

OK,
Anyone willing to try reverse engineering an actual slider lock with this program mentioned above?

hell if i can emulate the iphone on my 8525 why get the iphone. oh 4gb memory, 4gb memory cards are already out. remember we can add third party apps.
but hey its still a hot phone. but check out the meizu iphone copy lol.
i know i can get the iphone for $350 when it comes out though.

That would defiantly be cool. I would even host the download on our web servers to avoid issues...

hey send to me if someone makes it. i dont mind being a guinea pig.
i have a wizard and the hermes

Ouch
The account of the guy has been suspended...
I guess that the host doesnt want troubles with Apple (+ probably he had a huge bandwith consumption...)
Obviously it's "programmable" and he seems to have it done pertty nicely
The whole point now is to have him share his development (Too much work to start this from scratch...)

His site is back up
However he is staying mute... No answer on his blog when you post a message..

hey people! here is the new updated slider!
it supports:
* Lock the Pocket PC keyboard inputs - NEW!
* fullscreen without taskbar
* 12 hour support (like “10:22 AM”) - FIXED
* highlighting “slide to unlock” text
* english dates (like “saturday, march 14″)
* error sound plays when tapping anywhere except slider button
* opening sound plays when slider align to right (3 second)
i’m trying to get load external image to background.. it works in flash test file but it not works after the compiled exe file..

Sliding Sounds on G1?!

Hi, I am very interested in possibly enabling sliding sounds like.....like......um, Im just gonna say it.......Windows Mobile (bracing for the tomatoes being thrown). I just thoguht the sliding sounds option was a nice touch of personalization to the individual & their device. Could it be possible for such a program to be developed & tied into something such as the device's screen rotation when screen is slid up to activate such sound? Im not trying to bash the Android OS or trying to get G1 users upset & reply with "Well go back to WM if you like it so much", as I myself have really enjoyed the new OS. As a matter of fact, I was the first person in line to get one of these b!t¢h£$. Thanks for your input, bros' ( & brahs').

don't feel bad
I like kool sounds too, maybe those trekkies that make those LCARS themes for just about any skinnable device/app ever will bless the g1, there is an lcars for maemo (n800)
the clock selections make me wonder how much maemo and 'droid are alike?
bhang

This would be awesome, I love the sliding noises on my Helio devices, and I already have them all recorded onto my computer.

LCARS

LOL, I never even knew that was out, but Google is my friend, and because of that, I was able to find out exactly what you were talking about.

I actually kinda like this idea. I used to have a Sidekick LX, and the opening/closing sounds were actually something I got used to and liked.

With the screen being spring loaded, I think it makes a nice snap

Theme or ROM?

So I'm curious about looks vs. functionality
Each one of my little drawings here satisfy both.
First off, I apologize for being a retard and using cam scanner to make these images sideways (although they were right side up originally).
Seeing as I can't attach images directly from my phone onto this site, I had to email them to myself, download them and then re attach.
Also another retard thing, I made a home button (app) thing on both of them even though there is a physical one on the phone itself.
Have a look
Also clarify with me which is which (theme or ROM).
How hard is it to design/engineer this and actually have everything function properly?
Theme/ROM 1
Them/ROM

it looks like you want to pull the whole status bar to the bottom of your phone. i didnt think you could just move that stuff around. a Dev would would be able to give u a yes or no.
im leaning more towards a theme than a Rom. but you can only theme what the Rom has. and NO rom has that, that i know of. so its like a combination of both.

Those drawings appear to be a significant layout overhaul, a la Sense and Touchwiz
It would either be:
1) a full-blown ROM
2) A replacement for a number of system apps (but could be an add-on), at the very least the launcher and probably the lockscreen
More than just basic theming, that's for sure.

Well it certainly gives the phone a neater, "in my opinion more efficient" functionality.
The one with the radial app dial, that spins, (you guys probably could tell that already) can fit either 7 or 8 apps.
When you press the home button the phone app automatically aligns directly above the said home button (non physical assuming there are 7 apps not 8).
The apps that go on the radial thing-a-ma-jig are your primary apps.
However since that non-physical home button is not needed, then the phone would be in the center or perhaps you'd like the browser.
In any case whichever app you use most extensively (ie #1).
I certainly cannot do any of the ROM creating but I was hoping to spark interest with the ones who are able to do so with ease.
The one with the triangle side bars (next image) these have 1-3 icons on them, when you tap that icon the first time a box will come up over lapping everything else in the background (or with slight opacity) and that gives you more detail rather than just an icon.
I think it would be neat as hell if this was done.
So is it like, theme = aesthetics ; rom = function
In this case I'd like to do both.
Also the capability to assign any app in that 7-8 slot (radial) would also be nice.
Perhaps done through the command prompt.
This is a feature I picked up from a blackberry (ability to assign any icon to a specific design/theme).
Thanks for the interest, I'm going to try and fix the orientation.

Some of what you're looking to do (the home-dial concept) may be doable without any ROM development at all - after all, plenty of launchers are installable as apps and what you're describing there is a launcher concept.
Notification bar moving could be a lot harder though.
FYI I'm a kernel guy not an app developer, so I can't help you much other than say that I'm fairly certain one of the features you want to implement can be done as a launcher app for any ROM.

Alright alright, we're sifting through sonething here.
I have very little knowledge od 'kernel' 'launchable' 'rom' as far as developing them goes. Are there tutorials ? (search bar probably)
Thanks for your contributions
What about color (borders keys etc)

Nice drawings man
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Hey thanks DevilDogAK
It's one thing to draw the idea by hand but to actually create it with code...
That's where the tires hit the road one might say.
I need to do some reading to get an idea of what I have to accomplish.
Thanks for the interest, as always it starts with a dream
I'll let you guys know whats up when I actually get to the point of dev
But team work goes a long way (hint hint hint)

sweet... great concept imo, & hey, cyanogen started with just a concept. wish i knew more to help you out, but we're with you in spirit nice drawings too lol
from Sams inFuse... inFused GB

About the launcher comment, does having two mean more computing power needed to run the first and second launcher or can I just do one primary launcher?
If I can just move things around, what about putting some notification components under the wheel? Components such as the wifi toggle and the data image or perhaps the data and battery.

Anyone smart enough to do that probably isn't dicking around on XDA. You never know though.

Well... I'm here
Haha just kidding, I do wish somebody with some experience knowledge (ie developer of Serendipity etc... ) a man can dream... a man can dream.

BrainDrain: App made by 14 year old!

Hey guys, With a the help of few on-line classes, I have been able to develop an android app called BrainDrain. It is puzzle based.
I have released the app on the Google market place, yet there are certain things I could change to make the app better.
For instance, I haven't figured out how to stop the background music when the app is sent into the background. Also I don't want to have to go through the process of making thousands of Xml's to support screens with bigger sizes, is there any short cut or some kind of easier way?
If you could please test the app, and reply back with suggestions regarding these problems, and also suggest solutions for any other problems you come across? Thank you! .
"BrainDrain" is the app's name, please search for it on Google play, I'm a new user so I don't have the permission to post links!

I've never developed android apps, but you can use a mathematical model to map out the screen for devices of all sizes. Find the proportions of each object and run it through a function which will decide where it goes based on the dimensions of the screen.
Just a theory

Hey there,
I haven't tried your app yet, but I have to say: It looks quite impressive for a 14y old kid. When I was at your age, I knew a little bit of VBA (I was able to create some simple things like MsgBoxes and InputBoxes and stuff inside of excel sheets, but nothing really fancy). I was learning some C at that time too, but I just was not able to understand pointers and so my capabilities were quite limited.
Now seeing a 14y old toying around with Java is quite impressive :good:.
If you are having trouble with screen sizes then maybe you should use density independent pixels inside your layouts (dip).
Im not quite sure if thats correct, but I believe dip works the following way.
48dip -> 36px on ldpi screens -> 48px on mdpi screens -> 72px on hdpi screens -> 96px on xhdpi screens
Using these metrics will allow your content to be scaled according to the screens pixel density.
---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------
Oh and by the way (before I forget it)
I cannot really see the point of your app needing all this permissions (for a simple puzzler I mean).

I will have to try it out later when I get some time.
I am just learning how to code little things now with buttons to add and subtract numbers. According to the tutorials i am following you can use dp instead of px, perhaps it is a variant of dip like the post above me says. It is used for multiple screen sizes to show the same percent of the screen as far as I know.
Good work making an app at age 14. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks I will be able to make something as complex as this.

Hey there cmg5461, Thanks a lot!
For someone who hasn't developed android apps, that's quiet a witty answer. That would be possible, and that's how I did it. It's a custom setting that comes in eclipse. Thanks a lot!
Hey there Isam2k, Thanks a lot!
I've added advertisements, that's why those permissions are needed, I plan to make an ad free version of the app, maybe for 1$.
You have helped a lot, I tried what you said, It has worked, but I'm still facing a problem, all phone with screen sizes between 4-5 inches are having a problem. All the images get cluttered and overlap each other. Thanks a lot!
Hey there KeylanHalfdan! Thanks a lot!
I have used dp instead of pix, and I've messed around quiet a bit, and finally I managed to edit the xml files, But I'm facing another problem that I've mentioned above! Thanks a lot, You've helped quiet a bit!

Hmm, I am not sure about the large screen size issue. I am still early on in the coding process, but if I come across anything, I will let you know.

For the Artists

Here are some art applications that make use of the S-pen Pressure Sensitivity:
Sketchbook Pro
Infinite Painter
Papyrus Beta

There are more but I can't think of them at the moment. If you have any let me know and I will update the OP.

*****reserved for op*****

LayerPaint is awesome.

Great app! just added it to the OP.

markers is a good one also that seems to react to the S Pen pretty well..

Just Recived mine , and this is what i made, after i purchased sketchbook pro, btw with the new update, it looks unlike most reviews, that the pen is abit quicker. I might have a bad pen, due to the canvas not picking up the lightest pressure. But thats easily replaceable, everything else is great!:good:
It's a lil dumb drawing, but i wanted to try it out.

It does show that it has pressure sensitivity. Added to OP.

The TV Paint app looks really just like a port From the PC version. Which is really nice actually! The downside... if you aren't familiar with the software, you aren't going to have a good time..

Yeah. It is very specific type of drawing program. For example (don't know if in this version) cutting something out makes a brush out of it immidiately.

Actually.. it isn't even meant for drawing stills I believe.. It's main target is animation. Seeing (as far as I looked) this being a full port, you can create reaallllyy awesome animation **** with this! Might give it a go

Oh wow... played around with the brushes... did a quick drawing for a nice screenie

Great list youve got there. I would just add Quill, its a great one as well

Added. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hmmm... sorry about the previous image failing..
Edit: did a really quick and rough animation test with tv paint..
I'm not really familiar yet with tv paint, but wanted to take a quick look at the export features..
The software looks like a port with some touch control related improvements.. shortcuts are still available in their classic pc form, which might actually be great if you would use a bluetooth keyboard to operate this program. Considering my and co-students animating experience, it's almost a MUST to be able to easily use many shortcuts, which makes getting such keyboard (almost) a must-buy to fully utilize this programs potential on any tab and get the best experience with it.
There's the possibility to export to Quicktime MOV, AVI, MP4, PNG/JPG/other image sequences.. Unfortunately only container options with 3 possible bit-rate settings (namely: .2, 1 and 5 Mbps) and no real codec settings. (eg. MPEG-2, H.264, etc...) (Something I really miss!!!!! )
Framerate is ofcourse controlled by project settings, but they have the ability to export to various custom settings as can be seen in the screenshot.
Video test: http://youtu.be/neZDRf8bvv8
I might review this program thoroughly in this thread in the near near future when I have some more time on my hands...
And lastly;
TV Paint is one of THE drawing apps currently on the play store for serious content creators..... DISCUSS!

(never mind, I thought maybe Windows version has more options but from what I remember it was EXACTLY the same)

Markers is awesome for simple sketching! the pressure detection is very good on the ink style brushes, too bad you can only pick from preselected colours. still, nice for making simple value sketches
others with pressure detection:
free:
canvas lite: (can paint quite nice sketch style paintings with the 2nd brush) kind of fun somehow. has long press = eyedropper function. in the pro version you can make your own brushes from 50px canvases, which works surprisingly well! it is very crashy though.
plouik: (stroke dies extremely quickly)
una paint: has pressure... i guess if you want to draw oekaki style stuff, sure
layerdraw: pressure makes the ENTIRE stroke fat uniformly. I have no idea what anyone would use this for
voytpaintfree: nice pressure! you can get very smooth strokes on it as long as you don't make very fast curves, but it's pretty limited (couldn't find an opacity setting). haven't tried the pro vers.
paid:
doodledroid: for 99 cents, it's okay. the pressure curve is pretty bad, width doesn't start at zero so you're limited to making somewhat chunky ink strokes. but you can make some painterly type sketches.
drawing pad: i regret this purchase, it's like a child's crayon. all of the tools.
stuff that is really useless or didn't work for me:
HTC Flyer Canvas and scribble
Paintbox for tablets (drawing a curve is so bad it draws a square when you try to draw a circle) pressure what pressure?
scribble: claimed to have pressure sens, didn't even get to draw anything before it crashed my note once, then crashed again after reboot. deleted!
crayondoodle: just don't bother.
other useful stuff:
overskreen - floating browser that uses your default 'internet' browser to make a popup window. resizes perfectly, great for popping up reference images over your painting app. there was a free popup browser app but I didn't think it worked very well in comparison.

hey, no worries! Thanks for compiling the list, I'm hoping people will find something that works for them, buy it and support more development for android. The Note has so much potential... and I'm trying not to rely too much on the beta of TV paint, arg
It's a real shame most people's first experience will be with PS touch, because it really makes the Note look like crap.

Thats was my first experience and my gf's too. She said... well i don't know about this purchase.. so when it finally arrived home, i downloaded all the other apps, i wanted to try out, and well i felt in love . I had high hopes for PS touch but... nope lol.
