OK...guys, i'm not new to forums, and i'm certainly not new to hardcore researching to get software/hardware questions answered, and I usually find what I want on my own by looking, but for some reason I can't find this specific thing...
To the nitty gritty (hope this is easy)...
what I'm looking for is a photo dialer app for wm6 (or wm5...whichever...I have the HTC Touch). There is one at link below that looks close to what i'm trying to find, but instead of pressing an arrow or button on the screen to flip through the photos, I want to use the touchscreen and swipe your finger across the screen to flip through the photos. The HTC Dialer on the cube is ok, just wanted a little more out of it.
Thanks for anything and everything.

I've been to that site before, but I haven't downloaded a demo or anything. Is it similar to VSCaller in that you just press on the screen and not actually swiping your finger to control movement?
Yep, just a press on the picture
Just putting this out there. I was browsing the web with Opera earlier today, and wanted to switch to one of the other running apps.. I kind of annoyed me having to hit the home-button, start x-task, flipping to apps and switching to the app... Likewise when I wanted to go back to Opera...
I was thinking maybe swipe two fingers vertically on the screen to bring up a semi-transparent task-manager or something?
Anyone up for the challenge? There is already a .NET dll for catching the touchinput on this forum
nice idea! Would love to see that in action - hopefully this reply will put your message back to the top and catch the eye of some of the clever people on here!
Back up to the top!
Yeah sounds like a nice idea
This would be absolutely awesome, and i really hope this will be made
I wrote a little program that launches a task manager when you do a two finger swipe down the screen, I'm cleaning up the code and will have something releasable shortly...
There's a video here.

Ah that looks nice l3v5y, cant wait
Oh and on that wmpoweruser linkk, it says you
enabled multitouch for morphgear, mind
senfing me a link?
Looks really awesome!
Develop, develop, develop, we need this
Looks great... can't wait to try it out.

Great concept. It adds a totally new "gesture interface" to the HD2! Is this app. just a preview of what will come? I mean, I can imagine that you develop this concept further into a general launcher in which a user can map all kind of gestures to different applications/tasks. Wow, this is really revolutionairy stuff. Can't wait to try it out.

Fantastic l3v5y! Just what I had in mind
very nice and innovative....
Very nice, l3v5y... Please don't forget us 'lefties' though, when you're configuring and testing it...!
Just to keep the options open... Has anyone looked into the idea of commandeering one of the hard keys to open up an 'App Selector'?
I'm thinking here particularly of the 'Back' key as I can see little point in having this key on a device with a touch screen. However, the mere fact that I have, to date, not seen any 're-mapping' solutions involving this key suggests that it may still be 'out of bounds' to developers...
Getting 'double posts all the time now - very annoying!
This will certainly make life a lot easier! Good piece of work and can't wait for the finished product.
OMG... I cant wait to have this! You sir are a genious l3v5y!... I first read about this on my wmpoweruser rss feeds for the HD2
For GOD sake!!! Release this ASAP!!
When you think small you never get somewhere, when you think different you move forward and forward and.... (ToddeSwe)
Thanks!!! Can't wait to use this very new thinking app!!
WoW ... This is just... WOW Cant wait ! GogoGOgoGoogO
Please let this prog come out real soon....this looks awesome!! Good work l3v5y, cant wait to test.

This is too good to be true. When this prog is out, I will donate some good money. I invite people here to do the same. Masters like l3v5y are a blessing for this community.
By the way master l3v5y:
Here in this forum, there are some taskmanager softwares that have some essential flaws.
1. they are laggy and not fast enough. And they use lots of RAM
2. they don't close the windows when you push the X button in the top-right corner.
3. they don't work in all windows (so that you can switch programs no matter which window you are in).
4. Some of them don't have the Exclusion List.
If this program of yours could solve all of these problems, I will promise you that, you are gonna get a lot of praise and loooots of donations. It would make our HD2 a perfection. Take your time master l3v5y.
And to our friend yngvebn who opened this thread. Good job mate but the idea was found before you did Great thinking by the way.
Looks great! Currently I use the home button and then it goes directly to my 9 shortcuts (yeah I should get more icons there) and press the other apps running in the background. It's been a good solution for me.
Hello folks. I'm new, and I'm sorry in advance if this has been asked.
I know there are many complaints about font sizes on android phones. It appears each app has their own too. As someone who needs reading glasses, my phone is really hard to use without them.
So, I started looking for a simple "spyglass" type app that would magnify a part of the screen (whereever the finger is touching). There is NOTHING out there. I can't imagine it being too hard (granted...I haven't learned java/Android yet)?
Essentially, launch the app, then move your finger over the screen, and a preset rectangular area centered on your finger would double or triple the pixels. I'm far sighted, and reading my phone without granny glasses is a pain.
Anybody have any skills they feel like flexing? It would be great if the app ran as a service so you could magnify ANY pixels (no matter what app was running...or simply the homescreen).
Even better-> The "hard button" on our Android phones that is reserved for searching...if that could be modified to launch said "spyglass" tool.....you would win lots of kudos!
Thanks for letting me post. I know of various font tricks and apps, but they are not very slick.
It uses short gestures instead of taps to get each key. You select each key rather than tap and hope for the best. It's a little difficult to explain but the video might be able to help with undershanding.
Key features:
-ability to quickly move the cursor by rotating.
-Ability to select text easily
-Copy, cut and paste shortcuts
-More special characters accessed by longpressing any key.
This is my first app I learned about android apps sloely to develop this. I found that everyone that dislikes this keyboard do so because they don't understand how it works I made a video explaining how to do the tutorial. Which you can find on the play store listing. I would really love to hear any questions, comments and especially suggestions that you have. I appreciate any sort of input you guys can give me and if you happen to like it a rating and/or review on thi play store would help me alot.
Also here is a list of things being worked on:
-select all and deselect all on clipboard menu(already done)
-resizing, moving aand undocking the keyboard
-Autocorrect and predictions shown on in a circular pattern around the keyboard.
-Because each key is a gesture instead of a tap even if you don't completely swipe over the line NovaKey will know what you are trying to type.

This keyboard is absolutely brilliant. :good:
Fantastic idea,.. i use it on my galaxy s4 cyanogen cm12 and my wife which was able to write smooth and fast with it already after only a couple of minutes when she first time used it on her galaxy s3 stock and she wan´t use anything else from now on.
I really hope the development of this great app will continue and that there will follow also different language for spelling
(in our case,.. German..).!
Just a question and suggestions:
I´m not able to find the "+" symbol.. so far....?
Hopefully the cursor on the grey background will be made a little more visible for blind people like me..... :cyclops:
Maybe also different color-designs to choose from.
Suggestions from my wife:
The letters that are used the most maybe should be the ones with the most easy to do gesture... makes it even faster..
Take a look at the letter frequencies of the English language for example:
e....12.702%
t.......9.056%
a.......8.167%
o.......7.507%
i........6.966%
n.......6.749%
s.......6.327%
h.......6.094%
r........5.987%
d.......4.253%
l........4.025%
c.......2.782%
u.......2.758%
m......2.406%
w......2.360%
f........2.228%
g.......2.015%
y.......1.974%
p.......1.929%
b.......1.492%
v.......0.978%
k.......0.772%
j........0.153%
x.......0.150%
q.......0.095%
z.......0.074%

Space could be double tap... for those with big fingers...
And maybe highlighting (colored) the symbol/letter which is in the circle when scrolling through the symbols... her finger always get´s in the way so that she doesn´t really see which one she has selected...

Thank You!
Thank You! I apologize for the late response. I really appreciate your suggestions and I'm glad you like my keyboard. I have gotten multiple requests so I will be adding German hopefully soon. Also, you will be able to resize and move the keyboard around so that might be more comfortable.
Oh and for "+" shift up from the numbers keyboard.
Thank You again!

Reminds me of 8pen. Interesting, but unfortunately can't beat the speed of regular tap-typing or swiping.
Keep going nethertheless for the coolness of it ;]
interesting concept, will give it a shot.
testing this keyboard, hopefully the developer didn't stop (last version from 28th of december)
New update from "v.cantu´s" amazing keyboard with many great improvements..!!!
Look above for the download-link on first post.
Btw..:
one more suggestion from my wife to the dev.. She tried the new version and finds it pretty cool...
Maybe you could implement the function that if you push a letter and hold it without moving it that it repeats the choosen letter several times...
so you can keep the option for choosing special characters but she doesn´t has to push for example letter "a" several times to get several "aaaaaa"....
Big thanks to the dev... :good:
What a great concept, too bad it was abandoned so quickly. Does anyone know of anything similar? The playstore is just choke full of glittery keyboard bull****, finding anything there is like looking for a needle in 10000 haystacks.
Hi everybody. I would like to give an idea here, in case someone with the coding skills I lack may went to give this a go.
I find myself going into google now's feed by swiping to the left. The design of the latest version is in fact very pleasing, with rounded corners and transparencies that let you see the background in between the cards. I would like to suggest making that the home page, so when you tap the home button, you are directed there. But, that can be done already, you might think. Yes, but I would like the dock to stay where itnis, and be able to put folders in it. So your homepage would look like a mix of the normal homepage, but instead of the icons in the main are, it would be google nows feed. Am I asking the impossible? Or have I missed some xposed or otherwise way to don't? Thanks for reading this far. I appreciate the work the deva put into making android the ecosystem it is today.
