Scroll Albums in Today screen

Hi All,
I have had my HTC Touch pro a few days and the following post is well because it bugs me.
Is it possible to scroll through your albums (not songs or playlist) in the media bit of the luvly today media scrolly type menu.
I can go to library and choose an album - then a track and scroll through up/down those and it all looks nice etc.
I can load all my songs into playlist whic is approx 1000 or so right now but they are in individual song, alhabetical order (rather clumsy) to scroll.
When in the library I choose albums or artist tab then try to go back to the today scrolly luvly screen it goes back to the album song that was chosen before.
I guess I have visions of something like Itunes albums thingy or the contacts bit on the Diamond/diamond pro.
So either way is it do-able as in I am doing something wrong or it it just not an option with this ROM.
Thanks in advance
GW

I have the same "problem" From all the tinkering I have done trying to accomplish exactly what you are trying to accomlish. I assume it is "as designed" or a bug. Either way, my hope is that someone figures out how to tweak it to work.
I am not in love with Apple but one thing they got right was the ipod music organization (in my humble opinion)

not possible.
no registry keys either to be found

Hi
Thanks for the replies. Shame about the album scroll but at least it wasnt me being a muppet for a change.
Would have been real nice to press the back button to go from album tracks back to album list.
Hey Ho, I am sure some Uber clever person will come up with something in the future.
Otherwise I think the T-Pro is significantly better than the TytnII it has replaced. There are litlle nicieties I keep finding for example you can zoom in when using the camera on its highest setting and when doing a video clip!
Thanks
Glen

I feel the same as you. I am still finding the improvements and have the faith someone will overhaul all th emusic stuff here anyway. We have just scratched the surface

Hi
Did a bit of scrutiny to the full PDF manual that it comes shipped with. On page 79 it clearly says that in the today screen - music tab you can scroll albums as well as songs in ablums?
I have sent an enquiry ticket to HTC to see if it is a print error or not.
Regards

[skin][Updated 26.03.10] Morphgear wvga skin for on screen game pad

As the built in game pad for morphgear seems to be a little buggy when playing on my HD2 (and i am not the only one with the problem apparently) I thought I would develop my own game pad.
This game pad is a wvga game pad, which means that it is designed for use in landscape mode. the game pad is primarily made for the SNES part of morphgear, but I believe it should work with other parts with the same amount of - or less buttons than the SNES.
All you need is:
- Morphgear of course you can find a version especially for HD2 with enabled multitouch, right here, thanks to Blutz
- The SNES part of Morphgear, which is available for download right here, or any other part you might want
When you got all this, you are totally ready to go, so download the file at Rapidshare or at the bottom of this post And follow the instructions to install the game pad.
Instructions:
- First extract the rar file. When you have done that you will have 2 files. gamepad.txt and gamepad.bmp.
- Copy or cut these 2 files and place them in the following folder:
your HD2 --> storage card --> programs --> games --> MorphGear --> skins.
If that is where you have placed the MorphGear folder (I believe that's the standard location). If you placed it at a custom place, then I bet you know where you placed it, and then you should be able to figure it out
- Boot up MorphGear and then press the settings icon. Choose "SNES9x (SNES) if that is what you installed (if you installed something else then that is the one to choose). Go down to the bottom of all these settings. The last option should be called "Skin". Choose the skin called "wvga game pad" and press OK in the top right corner (this is primarily for the SNES part, I do not know how big a difference there is from one emulator to another).
- Now boot up a game and enjoy the show
- If you don't already have, you will need to set up MorphGear so that it plays the game in landscape. This is done by going to the settings icon --> Global settings --> Display --> Orientation, and change this to east or west depending on where you want your hardware buttons.
Other Info:
Mapped Buttons:
n, s, e, w, ne, nw, se, sw, a, b, x, y, select, start, (L1), (R1)
This is the first version, and unfortunately i haven't been able to get L1 and R1 to work. If anyone knows what the code for those are, I would be happy if you could just send me a pm
Versions with a nicer UI might show up in the future, but at the moment I do not see it as being important since you rarely see the game pad when playing. I don't at least
Update:
The L1 and R1 is now working correctly. The new version is attached in this post
Update:
A new gamepad supporting the genesis module is now up for download. The gamepad has all the keys of the genesis, and supports 8 moving directions, n,e,s,w,ne,se,nw,sw It is of course kept in the same beautiful design
Instructions for installing it is exactly the same as they are for the other game pad, except that you have to choose the generator module instead of the SNES9X in settings.
Update:
Yet another gamepad is now ready. Do you struggle with the original pad because you find it too small and crampy? Struggle no longer, as a new big version of the original is now ready for you to download The new gamepad is just around 100 pixel higher than the old, and therefore it allows a bigger navigation pad, and the a,b,x & y buttons have become bigger too. Head to the bottom of this post to find the file, and if you like the old pad better, then that is of course still available
the pad is now working too ^^
Update:
Does playing in landscape mode just suck compared to playing in portrait mode? Then why play in landscape mode? A new gamepad created for playing in portrait mode is now up and ready for you to download So head on down to the bottom of this post, and start playing the portrait way
Update:
Check out Hexjibbers new mod of my portrait SNES gamepad: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621371. It has the layout of the original SNES gamepad, so if you feel a little nostalgic, then head over to his thread and drop him a comment ^^
Update:
Oh my... An update? Yep its an update ^^ A NES gamepad has now been added to the collection, so if you are tired of those awesome graphics on the SNES, you can head back to NES, knowing that there is a multitouch supporting pad for exactly that purpose. Also there have been a little reorganising of the pads, so that i am able to stay at/under the 8 uploads i have to my use. Thats all for now and if you have any requests then throw 'em at me, and i will do my best ^_^ <-- reason for the quite lame smilies, is the fact that i have run out of real smilies to use... apparently you can only have 15 smilies in your post
Update:
I really wonder when this is going to stop... just as the thread seemed dead it was given some first aid, and suddenly it was alive again. Which is good, because that means that xavierdemon came up with a skin too ^^ So if you just happen to dig the design of the ps3 controller, then head to page 9 or follow this link. to download it... Actually he has come up with 2 skins, so if you like the NES too, then it is your lucky day ^^
Thanks to Blutz for the help I've got from him, and a big thanks to Dredd67, who uploaded a game pad for touch hd, which I could use to understand how it all works ^^

Excellent. Works Perfectly. Thanks.

great work! I was stuck in chrono trigger because multitouch wasn't working very good and I couldn't run (had to catch a mouse ). With this skin everything works great. (altough it is quite ugly )

I know its not a beautyqueen But if you play full screen then it doesn't really have to be, because you cant see it anyway Personally I just believe it should be a functional pad, and then beauty may come later

Thanks for this. Works perfectly.

Go to google and search for "snes roms", and I guarantee that you will find a lot of pages that haves all these roms for download. Just remember that you have to own the original game before it is legal. Downloading roms of games that you do not own is illegal

I shall bear that in mind

Can you tell me which display options I should use to see the whole gamepad on my HD2 ?
I tried 150% but then the game screen is too small.
If I use "windows size" I don't see the pad anymore.
And if I try with "auto scale", my fingers come accross the game screen.
I've set orientation to "west" and unchecked "disable full screen"
Thank you

The only way to be able to see the whole pad is to make the game screen small enough to fit above the pad. personally I use the autoscale function, where you can see the sides of the pad, and then just guess when it comes to the middle. I tried to make this pad easy to use without it being visible, so that you are able to play in full screen or autoscale without having to struggle to find the buttons. Morphgear it self is the one who decides to hide the gamepad, and I can tell you that some people is looking for a way to get the gamepad on top, and add transparency.

Bug propably
Hey guys. I've propably found a little bug. The L and R buttons doesnt work. I've looken into the txt file and there are thu buttons named as l1 and r1. I renamed them to 1 and r as they i named in other pads and R button now works just fine. But the L button repeats the recently used button instead of its proper function. Could you please take a look at that, because except this one little issue is your pad the best i've ever used
Thanks a lot..

Hi xZdenis. I've always known about the L1 R1 bug, which i also said in the first post The reason is that i had no clue what they were supposed to be called. Now when i know what the 2 buttons are supposed to be called, i will fix it as soon as i get home, (or sometime like that) and then it should all work perfect
And thank you for the feedback

looking forward to the l/r button update!
thanks for this.

as said in the other thread I'm not totally sure what I am doing "better" than the other guys. until I know this I am definately not going to touch other persons skins, and if I figure it out then I won't touch without an approval from the creator of the skin and then just publish it

i like your gamepad very much!
is there a possibility to make the buttons and the controls for the direction larger?
so that i don't accidently press beside a controlkey and get the error that if you click on non-control-space morphgear repeats the last keypress?

[REQ] Slingplayer fix for WM 6.5.3?

Hi...
has anyone got a solution for the bottom softkeys/menu and icons on 6.5.3..when using the Slingmobile app?
thanks
Singh

I second the request for help on this. The program is very difficult to use without the bottom row of buttons.

Moved as not software release requests go to Q&A

i would also like to see some solution for this problem

Nothing seems to forthcoming. Anybody?

Come on guys...
Someone must have a solution?
I can't go into the ins and outs.. but lets just say... v1.6 is the one that we all be using.
So.. we need to fix this version and not wait for a new version. It's not going to be fixed in a newer release.

Difficult or impossible? Without the bottom row, I cannot bring up the channel panel to change channels. Is there a way to change channels at all without that panel?

The only way I can get into full screen is to open the keyboard. Of course that's not totally practical having to have my keyboard open all the time for full screen. Have you tried something like Gyrator 2 to maybe see if when Gyrator puts it into landscape, the fullscreen activates?
I have a Touch Pro 2 BTW.

The keyboard will do the remote control tasks for you. I believe the keystrokes are the same as for the keyboard on the Desktop version:
The Numbers type numbers
G is Guide
Up and Down Arrows change channels.
X is exit, etc. I don't know where to get a full list.
Also, I set Slingplayer to Auto-Rotate using G-Config. The Window Class name is SlingClient. This gets me to full screen without opening the keyboard.
That's about the only way I can make it so I can use it.
If anybody wants the files in the program's folder I can send them. Just PM me.

Hmm, strange. I added Slingplayer to the Whitelist for autorotate, using G-Config and it's not rotating. I reboot and looked at the registry and can see it there(SlingClient), but Slingplayer just won't rotate unless I open the keyboard.

Hmm, weird, it stopped working for me as well. To be honest, I can't remember when it stopped, but it used to work. Perhaps it's the standard 6.5 builds that do it.
Well, this makes it even more important to fix this issue. I have submitted a support request to Slingbox, so we'll see what they have to say.

They fixed it!!!! YAY!!!

I have a Samsung Intrepid, I tried installing and customizing with the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 but no luck. The toolbar was on the right side and my pictures wouldnt fit on the screen as well.
I was curious to if anyone had any other custom roms for Windows 6.5 on a Samsung Intrepid worth trying out??????????????

[12 Feb 2010] Opera 10 Beta 3 out

Who's us? Are you from Opera? Ok, here is a thought: what about pinch-to-zoom support

Still no pinch-to-zoom in this release?

What would be the point of pinch-to-zoom support? Opera 10 only supports two levels of zoom - zoomed in and zoomed out. Why would switching between them using a pinch instead of a tap be in any way preferable? Possibly what people actually want is not just to have two levels of zoom, but to have smooth zooming as in 9.7 - but that's a far bigger change than simply detecting a pinch gesture, what with deciding how to handle text-reflow, etc.

OK, but it does support plugins like flash, wmplayer. Well done Opera!!
(activate it via settings/advanced/plug-in)
For dutch users: head over to uitzendinggemist.nl

Multiple levels of zoom can be really handy with a huge WVGA display.
When I talk about pinch-to-zoom support I exactly mean what you said: being able to choose between different levels of zoom and use multi touch gestures to easily switch between them.
The point is that I'm kinda surprised that O10b doesn't have this feature enabled since in the previous one (9.7) it's already built-in
P.S. Thanks for the heads up xenept

nice... though it didn't inherit existing bookmarks?

I totally agree. But I think that the market for a general release is just to early. I suppose we have to wait a bit longer (till WM 7?).
BTW I don't like opera 10 on the hd2. The screen is much to sensitive for it. Reading a column is very difficult. The page constantly moves to the right or to the left when you're scrolling donw.
I do like the new plug-in support though!

Auto rotate working for anyone? Also, unable to watch Youtube videos directly.

No auto rotate here, but it did happen at least once unexpectedly!
What is the site you are trying to test the plugins?
Youtube shoots off into the youtube app.

Those who claim that this supports Flash, can you post a link to a page that contains some Flash content which works correctly? It doesn't seem to play the videos on the BBC News site (which play quite happily in IE).

yeah, it definetely support flash, i just saw a video on pocketnow
for autorotation use bsb tweaks, works like a charm

Pressing up causes turbo scrolling to the top, it's awful. Can you disable it?

The newer versions of MX Player introduced a quick scroll when looking through video lists in a folder. I have a folder of 600 videos, so if I scroll down a long way, miss something by one line and click 'up' on the remote, it immediately scrolls super fast all the way back to the top and I can't stop it. It's a nightmare. Is this intentional new behavior? Can you disable it? I can't believe they added this, clicking left on the remote used to do this and it was useful, but hitting 'up' now it's rendered the app completely unusable. I want the ability to scroll up line by line back!
Please tell me this can be disabled somehow, or that the devs are listening to this.
