Best tweaks for you touch pro with sense 2.1!

Okay this is how i have configured my touch pro and its the best combination i can find.
Goals: speed (lag=fail in my opinion)
eye candy (has to look half decent for friends)
ease of use (when i want to use my phone i don't want a math problem)
has to work (screens half gone or keyboard functions that don't work=fail)
What you need:
Energy rom sense 2.1/21xxx series
Vibro
NaviComputer
Anuvadak
IMulator
AudioRoute
Skype for windows mobile
Screen Off
Why:
Energy ROM for fuze simply the best- but why sense 2.1 and 21xxx series? this is because although sense 2.1 dose have all the features of 2.5 its much snappier and no lag, but keyboard layout is better, and the 21xxx series because the big soft keys cause so many graphical glitches for me.
Vibro lets you tell your phone how to vibrate for each event (you make pattens)
NaviComputer is an offline gps solution no 3g, no data no problem
Anuvadak is a slick app that uses Google translate to translate on the fly[with voice]!
IMulator is a slick music player for you phone mimics ipod interface
AudioRoute is key in using skype on the fuze makes sure the audio is outputed to your head phones and no speaker phone
skype mobile i snatched this literally a few days before they stopped development. (dose need audio route to work properly but still real nice)
Screen Off lets you turn you screen off (saving huge battery life) while keeping wi-fi on
___________________________________________________________________
So whats it look like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Explanation for why its like that:
1.The top and bottom windows bar changed to slick black ones
This is your you change it:
start-->settings-->today-->Energyrom transp softkey--->OK[top right]
2.The tabs, i find this combination = best performance and least glitches
Go to settings on the bar(the wheel thing) and click customize tabs un-click all besides for the one i have click[you can have weather but wasnt accurate for me] and have them in the order i have them in.
3. Program tab next to the right this is so a quickslide to the left can give you all your porgams
I use 20 programs with 4 collums as it works both in portrait and landscape mode nicely and dosnt caused lag(too many will even if its empty)
to change this go to
start-->tools-->program tab[it looks like a folder almost]
4. Program tab icons
i have them in this order for how often i use them the only key here is the top right corner as messaging this is so i can read texts with out sliding the keyboad out and clicking text message button the the keyboard
also i have all the geeky and apps i only use sometimes at the very bottom
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After installing and arranging everything time to change the settings!
First open total commander in the start menu and go to the root or top of your device and click on windows
than scroll down to startup click and then delete Audio Route from this folder[stops audio route from starting up when u turn your phone on can be annoying]
next is to configure Vibro
click on video CFG and click phone and change the vibration pattern so when you get a call on vibrate your phone vibrates in a pattern and not like a a toy your ex-girlfriend has lol
if you want to clean up you start page like i did use total commander
go to the root of the phone and click on the windows folder
windows-->start menu--> than highlight what you dont want and move it into the tools folder
Explore the settings folders on the phone to change ring tone shortcuts and camera settings and notification settings for your liking!
I have developed NONE not even an icon of software all the credit deserves to go to each party for their work, just here to help you enjoy their work
If anyone has anything they do that they like more feel free to share

Android Phone as TF Game Controller

I'm wondering if there is an app that exists where you can use your android phone as a game controller to play games on the TF? The TF is a little bit uncomfortable for playing games like Zelda for extended periods of time. It would be nice to know that I can just grab out my phone and prop my TF up to start playing.
I know that using an xbox controller, Wii controller, or PS3 controller via bluetooth or wired works but the problem is I only have a wired xbox 360 controller and I don't own the TF docking station (yet).

yo dawg i herd you like android, so we controlled an
android with an android so you can game while you game.

i lol'd too hard...... shamed

Im hoping this comes along eventually. I remember this on iPad + iPhone. You could install a snes emulator on iPad and the controll app on the iphone and use it that way. You had to be jailbroken for it to work because the app was in cydia.

In addition, using your TF w/ Dock as a PS3 keyboard...

There's an app for that! (c)

Android phone as game controller on pc
In order to use your android device as a game controller on your PC you need 2 applications. One for your android device called "agamepad.apk", and another program for your PC called "PPJoySetup". PPJoySetup is currently being made compatible with Windows 7 64-bit, and perhaps a few other OS. Here are the instructions on how to install and use, as well as a few links to the directions and pertaining to this subject:
aGamepad allows you to use your Android based phone as gamepad for Windows. It supports three analog axes and up to 32 buttons (currently implemented 4).
Special thanks to:
Tsutomu SEKI
Windows side of application is based on his sources.
Deon van der Westhuysen
For writing such a great application as PPJoy.
How to use
Download aGamepad.apk and install it on your device
Download PPJoySetup and install it on your PC
Download controller.dll and extract it somewhere
After installing PPJoySetup run Configure Joysticks (Programs->Parallel Port Joystick)
Press Add
Make sure that Parallel port field is set to Virtual Joysticks. Press Add
Wait for drivers to be installed
Choose currently added joystick from list and press Mapping
Press Next
Choose any number of axes (max 3)
Choose number of buttons (currently max 4)
Set POV to 0 and press Next
Make sure there is for each axis set Analog N and press Next
Press Next and Finish
Press Done
Now everything is ready for use
Run PPJoyDLL (Programs->Parallel Port Joystick)
Choose DLL type to Callback DLL interface and press Load DLL
Point the dll you saved earlier
Now run aGamepad on your phone (assuming that you have connected with your PC using wifi)
Enter IP address of your PC and press Ok
If you see in PPJoyDLL's window line "Sending joystick updates to PPJoy" it means that everything works.
Apparently, I cannot post any links because this website fears spam links, but you can google it. I just read that PPJoySetup 0.8.4.5 supports 64bit, there might also be .6 out now.
Enjoy.

MoffoCobain that is useful but not quite what the OP was after... the ability to use an android phone to control an android tablet.
Would be interested in doing this as well

i confirm it works using a nexus as gamepad on my tf101

Yay works on Samsung Captivate running cm7 but not any of the stock firmware. kind of a pain to use though as it only supports one touch at a time.

not work here. agamepad force close error on my LG3D stock rom 10K.

How do I update my Bluetooth stack to use this app?

[APP][7/17/11] Roku Wi-Fi Remote

New! Actual graphics and styles!
This app controls a Roku streaming video player over wifi using Roku's External Control Protocol. It's the best (possibly the only working) free one on the market and can even do a few things the paid apps can't!
Features:
Find and connect to your player in less than 10 seconds without having to manually enter its address - even works with players connected over wifi!
Roku ECP - way more reliable than the old Telnet protocol some other remote apps use
Full 12-button control including Back and Instant Replay
List and launch channels directly from your phone
Automatically jump to search screens using your phone's search button*
Enter text on your phone and send it to the player - never use the on-screen letter picker again!
*Most channels support this on most screens. Hulu is a notable exception

Changelog:

2.2 - Improved auto-scan
2.1 - Added search, channel picker, and text entry
2.0 - Added auto-detect, multi-player support, optimized layouts, and more!
1.1 - Fixed a problem where some screens on the Roku player (like Netflix menus) wouldn't respond to commands.

Updated to 1.1. Now works way better with Netflix.

MAJOR update! Auto-detect, better screen support, and more! If you thought it sucked before, it's worth another look because I sucked out all the suck.

Updated again. Now you can pick channels, search, and enter text directly from your phone!

Updated to 2.2. This adds a few UI tweaks and methods to deal with some unreproducible force closes on startup I'm seeing in around 1% of my users. If you get one, please report it with as much information as possible!

Updated to 2.3. Finally added a custom layout and graphics, so now it's not quite as ugly.

Very cool app.
Would you consider releasing open source so others could port it to Windows Phone, etc.?

Windows Phone is in a totally different language (C# I think) - there's nothing you could really port and the Roku control protocol is documented on their website.

Quite useful, thankss!

what's the difference between the free version and the pro version?

Would it even be possible to get this working with the games?
Love this app, thanks for your hard work. Better than the paid ones imo.

I just found this app today and it is amazingly useful with my roku. Functions great and I laugh at how cool it is to control my tv with my phone now. Great job dev!

Roku WiFi FC on Toshiba Thrive
Ethan-
Thanks for a great program! I use it all the time, since the remote is persistently lost at my house.
I just fired version version 2.10 (as reported by Titanium Backup) up on my Toshiba Thrive (HC 3.2), which was hardware locked (with a switch) in landscape mode, and got an Force Close each time. Suspecting the rotation to be the issue, I unlocked rotation, and started Roku WiFi in portrait mode. Voila! It worked correctly. (I did a similar test on my Droid Bionic GB 2.3.4 - no problem.) With the app still running, I then unlocked the tablet, rotated the tablet to landscape, locked it, and checked again. Strangely enough, no FC when switching back and forth between another app and Roku Wifi. (Roku WiFi always came up in portrait.) However, if I actually exit the app and restart, FC comes back.
As a separate issue, please note that the auto-find feature doesn't work on my network (on neither the Thrive nor the Bionic). I have 4 Roku units, which Fing sees just fine in network discovery, and identifies by the MAC address. Manually connecting to the Roku units by IP address works perfectly.
If you are interested in suggestions, some way of accommodating multiple Roku units would be handy. At the very least, please consider pre-populating the manual connect IP address dialog with the current address so it's easier to change (rather than having to re-edit it each time).
Let me know if you'd like more debugging information to help find this problem.
Best regards,
-Jim

​
macroMote, the only remote control application you need for your computer. Functionality? Using a command based system macroMote allows you to easily create the functionality you need to take control of your computer remotely. Design? With its tabbed layout organizing your macros has never been easier, this means your macros can be categorised how you want them to be. Simplicity? Everything about macroMote screams simplicity, after all that’s what a remote is for right? Macros can still be created (and removed) while clients (yes, more than one device can be connected at the same time!) are connected; the changes will be synced to all of the devices in real-time.
Features
- Command system to create whatever functionality you need
- Tabbed design for easy access
- Connect as many devices as you want
- Changes are synced in real-time to all devices
- macroMote Server compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac
Planned Features
- Added security (PIN to connect)
- Ability to save IP address
- Ability to change port
- Better tablet support
This really is the definition of universal.
Silly example macro, opens chrome and navigates to XDA
Code:
shell "cmd /C start chrome --start-maximized"
wait 2000
move "155,45"
click left
wait 500
type "XDA "
type ENTER
wait 1500
move "192,280"
click left
REQUEST : Please can you test this on your Linux/Mac machines. It should work but unfortunately I haven't had chance to fully test it (especially on Mac)
Please post your feedback for any improvements, commands and bugs!
How To? Mirror
Server Mirror
Lite
Pro​

Reserved - Update information should go here.

This looks good but I have one question/concern.
How does the remote know which application to send the macro commands too? In other words, that VLC tab you have will only be useful if VLC is your currently active window.
It would be nice if each macro command could be directed towards a specific application running on your computer. If I want to control my iTunes music via remote, I don't want to maximize it first.
Make sense?

That is a very good question! I've thought about this and it still needs some work. With the server being programmed in Java it means I don't have access to external sources like window names and other useful things. It would mean I need to use the system API's (which of course then means I would need to figure out a way to get it to work on Linux and Mac too). Which means its going to be a pain in the ass. Fortunately must commonly used applications listen out for hot keys regardless of focus.
A simple solution would be? :
press ALT
type TAB
release ALT
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

- Added Mirror Links to 'How To?' and 'Server' (My site host seems to be blocking the links...)

400+ Views... one reply.
It would be nice if people could leave some feedback? I put a lot of time into this.

So you have to be at the PC when writing set commands for each remote function?
Have you thought about being able to write a custom function on the Android phone then pushing that to the server then executing it?
Would like to have a little play with this app though, I like the idea Could maybe interpret something like this into a smart tv one day with a bit of modification.
Good Job

Yes, well the idea was that you set-up all of your macros on the computer before hand (prevents security issues). Since you will only need to write the macro once.
I developed this to function as an AIO remote to be used with any software and OS on your computer (where other remote controllers fail). I would of continue developing it, but it seems nobody is interested or doesn't understand what it does fully. I think I might just release the Pro version for free.

I would try and offer some ideas but as you said it lies with using System API's.... Would be a huge improvement if you did manage to figure it out.
And yes the XDA feedback is sometimes.....

Floating Windows in MIUI 12

Among some of the many new UI features in MIUI 12, Xiaomi phones will be receiving updates to floating windows. Floating windows aren't a new concept in Android, but MIUI 12 brings some major improvements to this feature. The new floating windows can be accessed from your notification bar or recents menu. A floating window will put an app in a smaller window that can be seen layered over another app. In this thread, I'm going to show you the floating windows in action, and all the features they come with.
These screenshots show the floating windows being used in combination with different apps.

}
Accessing Floating Windows from Recents Menu
An easy way of turning your open app into a floating window is by opening your recent apps menu. Once you see the list of all of your apps, you can press and hold on the app until you see the additional options appear. From here, you'll be able to lock your app, launch in slip-screen mode, launch as a window, or access the settings for that app. The animation below will show you what it looks like to launch a windowed app from the recent apps menu.
Accessing Floating Windows from Notification Shade
Being able to launch a floating window from the notification shade is a much less-intrusive option. If you're watching a video or a stream, and you receive a notification, you no longer have to navigate away from your current app to check it. Press and hold on your notification to open that app in a window. Now you can respond to texts, emails, tweets, or calls, without interrupting your current app.
Floating Window Gestures
When you navigate to settings > Special features > Floating window, you'll find a list of the different gestures available.
These are the gestures that are available for floating windows:
Open floating windows
Moving floating windows around
Closing floating windows
Viewing floating windows in full-screen
Minimizing floating windows
This gifs shows the different gestures in action:
Split screen open and expand:
Launch floating window from recent apps:
Expand floating window:
Minimize floating window:
Floating Window Settings
MIUI 12 has a settings menu dedicated to floating windows. In this menu, you'll find options to view tutorials on how to use different gestures that will manipulate your floating window. You'll also find a section where you can toggle specific apps to use floating windows from the notification shade.

Annoyingly floating windows only works when you have the miui launcher set as default. if you switch to nova launcher for example it's no longer available.
On the plus side miui launcher is actually decent now as you can set Google discover as your feed and you can also switch to app drawer mode as standard.

I wish I could disable this pointless "feature".

I use nova launcher and the floating window feature and for me it works. I just had to enable MIUI optimization in the developer settings.

Hi I have a question. When I swipe notifications to bottom, floating window and app which belongs to swiped notification also open on miuı 12. This looks meaningless for floating window. does anyone have this problem

Omg, are you crazy? Floating windows are awesome feature! Even before, if you choose option to resize window in spite of manifest you could enable dual screen and use youtube (without background work) with any other application.
And now I can "float" any window, like game, support chat, delivery status etc.
