Great app, very impressive and professional work, keep going

Seems I'm the first one to reply, so here's my opinion. Please take this as constructive criticism. This program seems like a nice replacement for separate contact and dialer applications. However, at the momemt there are a few things that need to be fixed before I'd consider migrating:
1) Smart-dialing. Not debatable. This needs to be included by default. It is just, simply put, *the* most effective way to dial.
2) Appearance. I remember reading in the previous thread that someone thought the screen was too "complicated"/crammed. I think I'd have to agree. I think it's the monotonous cell-like layout that is off-putting.
- Consider brining in some variation.
- Make the dailpad's appearance different to the rest of the app.
- Consider a more "organic" appearance.
- Remove unnecesary items from the screen and list in soft-key menus.
Being a beta or pre release of this program we know about some bugs... hopefully there will be a way to to have a tweak for it to have this fix because it becomes irritating overtime and like ROMS we have to flash or to uninstall this immediately
although nice to have a keyboard which has less than 500kb
Quite cool, thanQ. Could do with t9 input though.

Hi H3x
Thanks for your remarks.
The most effective way to dial, in many times is the way you use to. I think that any system that gets you to the contact you want in a 1-2 seconds, is a good one. The o3touch system will bring you to the contact as fast as any other good system. It is also a meter of some training and selecting the best approach, considers the total number of contact you have. Try the “1-2 letters + space + 1-2 letter, for over 1000 contacts, try the 2-3 letters for less, try the “contain ..”, try switching between them as you search, and find the best for you.
The main point is what should take place following finding the contact. The application offers a full ability to manage the data as well as sending SMS or email, and many other options, all within the same environment.
I have tested the application for 3 month with over 200 users. It may take some time to get familiar with the different approach. Many times the first reaction is about the look and not about the do. Most of the time users study very fast how to do what. My offer to you is to give it a real one hour try.

Hello Jeen
What is the language that you want to switch to?
For the moment the application “talks” in English Russian and Hebrew. (Setting screen 3, row 3)
It very easy to translate and to add a new language. Also you can use a special desktop tool for the process of translation and producing the needed XML files.

This application does look very promising indeed! For any haters: try programming yourself and stop shunning his application. He's doing this in free time, so show some respect. For those offering constructive criticism, good advice.
In the last thread it didn't support on-screen QWERTY. Does it now, and if not, will it do soon?

Hello ShaunC193
The main purpose for the application is to support one hand fast operation for the common daily tasks. The QWERT keyboard needs too much room on the screen for one hand (and no stylus) operation. Sorry to say but for the moment, other things are in the ToDo list for the next version.
Thanks for the support. We buy top technology, full of graphic effects, and the day after go to look for solutions, in order to do the simple tasks in human way. It makes users displease, also to forget that it was not me to promises anything. The application concept is: No to scrolling and No to dragging, just Touch what you want and Touch More if you want more. It is not what we were told we should love and adore. Some time it is so easy that users can no find the obvious touch. It also offers a solution that works the same on any device, so it will follow me to the next one. Not everyone will install such a dull UI to notice its efficiency, and certainly not every one must like it.

Sorry for that, it will be fixed. If I remember correctly, you also advised to move the “Close” button in the contact info page to the center...
As for refreshing the screen, it is a known issue that accrues also in the situation of waking up the device while the app is on screen. For now, touch the “Fast dial” button a long press and it will refresh the screen.
Thanks a lot

Hello,
Let me tell a few words. I've made a russian translation of this excellent software. I'm trying to promote it in russian forums. I see two kinds of responces. Positive and not. I'll try to explain my thought.
IMHO, main raeson of o3touch dislike is not complete understanding of it's main ideas.
- o3tocuh is designed for one-hand operating, so there are no qwerty-keyboard, only phone-style dialpad. For devices with small screens it's may be a better solution.
- o3tocuh trying to spped up contact search. Try to turn on "Contains..." mode for search, and see it. I have about 100 contacts in my phonebook, but now I usually find needed one in a 3-4 clicks. One letter from name, space, oe letter for surname. Done. I didn't think that T9 search will be much faster, but also I think Arie will implement it in future, if it's so necessary.
- o3tocuh is designed to minimize memory and space usage, so there is no glittery-skins, 3D sound effects and so on. o3touch is like guud business class - not shining, not visually stunning, but you get's all you need. Two skins for day and night is enough for usual needs. Maybe in future, will be added color scheme editor. But as for me, it didn't makes much sence.
In conclusion, I can said - if you didn't try o3tocuh - please do it It takes not much resources, and runs good on any screen resolution (even wide-ones). If you tried and didn't like - give another chance, it's worth it.

Thanks for the effort.
I sent you a private message with an email address that you can use for fast support. Please check it.
One advice, start translation the buttons text, export and copy the directory to the device, check that everything is ok and go on.
French Translation ?
Hi Arie
Do you have a French translation or do you need one ?
I will readily try to make it. Tell me where to begin

installation problems.,.,.
i tried it but this is what i get :
Can't load
"\windows\dvoraksip.dll",
GetLastError returned :
193: %1 is not a valid
Win32 application.
plz help.,.,..,
Great
Hi, this is great idea as I'm looking for this type application for past 1 year. But, the file unable to load.
Hmm, maybe I uploaded the wrong file? I made it late time. Maybe I uploaded the emulator's version. It's not for ARM CPU but for x86.
One moment, and I grab the dll from my XDA and change the uploaded file.
dvoraksip.dll updated!
Ok, I am sorry, I uploaded the x86 file.
Now, I updated the dll.
Try to download again above!
Now that is a working copy, from my XDA.
Oh, and I tryed with my friend's Himalaya earlyer, and it worked with.
New version with space and backspace, and maybe with capital letters coming soon next week.
a couple of quick comments...
1. I find the time for double and tripple clicks is too short.
2. Would be great if it had predictive text capabilities
ok it worked this time, seems to be a nice app.
i suggest that T9 type input as an option would be a good idea, with cutom dictionary which can remember new words.
anyways bro, VERY NICE WORK!!!!
keep it up.
Good suggestions.
- Yes, timedelay will be configuralble. As I remember, now it is 400ms.
- Of course, I planed to integrate predictive input. (With an independent dictionary from MS) This time I don't know, how to make that, but it will be user editeable, or convertable-importable from/to txt or other simply file format. I like to support different languages.
My plan is:
TODO:Most important
- space, backspace, enter
I think backspace will be a horizontal line with the stylus right to left, and space will be a rhumb left to right, like in Letter Recognizer. Or let the rhumbs will be the cursor move keys? And how to implement the enter key?
- Capital letters, numbers, signs
TODO:That I like to develop before other things
- internationale support, first for hungarian keys like: óüöúőűáéí
- copy, cut, paste shortcuts? Like my earlyer project (see my homepage for (only) screenshot)
- options page for customization, (like time delay)
TODO:Other things
- Predictive input
- ...
Thank you for the interest!
Oh this is cool. I am also interested in this. I've been looking for a one hand SMS, getting tired sms'ing with the stylus. Thanks for the great effort.
Ive also been looking for the same kind of program. It´s great that you make this effort. Looking forward for future programs. Once it´s done, i will defenetly make a donation to support further versions!!
It is very good!!!
Hi Sallala.
I think that it could be very usefull. It is what I need.
I've tried to use it in the default SMS client and I dont' know why in the field to find the contact you can not write other letters than the first (for example you can not write the letter b, but only a).
In any case I think that you made an eccelent work.
I hope you will go further with this wonderfull piece of software.
Bye,
Uros

Did you mean:
Start to write a new (SMS type) message, in the Inbox application, and you can't type corectly tha "To:" field?
I tried this. This is worked me fine, as in other windows. The delay time, while you switch a->b->c is quite short. Maybe this was the reason to you.
I also tryed the find contact window, and it works.
Did you know? When you press the Contact HW button, and start typeing, you immediatly type to the "find contact" box. To click in it, before typeing is not neccesarry ;-)
Question
Question
- How to implement the enter key?
A stroke up->down?
- How to implement the space and the backspace key?
A stroke left->right and right->left?
- How to implemet the cursor move-keys?
Strokes are make conflict with I write above
Let's response fast, I like to program it tonight!
Do remember, I waiting for methods that we can do with one finger without the stylus.
And I think there is no more space for another column of buttons. I think the size of the buttons now exactly good for komfortable typeing.. Or let's try more buttons?
Sallala, can you position the buttons just like that of a regular cell phone? and place the letters according to those of a regular cell phone? this way, it will be easier to switch from cellphone to xda and vice versa. you may follow the interface of WM2003's phone interface. i find it already comfortable dialling with one hand. what do you think?
Hi Boybi!
Urosh suggest this layout, and I think it's good.
The buttons are enough big to typing one finger, and it's size the same as the other input methods.
The normal GSM phone keboard have four row. That's mean, if I change the layout to your suggestion the panel height will be twice.
Let's take a look for example pocket excel! If the keyboard height is twice, and it is open, you can view only 4-5 rows from the excel sheet, because there is a formatting tab and a satuts bar too in excel.
But of course, typing maybe easyer on a bigger keyboard. And I know, peepole like the conventional methods.
So this is not a wrong idea, but I like to finish this layout first, and after, let's go back here! I think it is not a big work, to transform the layout.
Thank you!
i forgot the software you're developing is an Input Method and not a regular sms software. if this were a regular sms software, then i would strongly suggest to stick with a regular phone's layout.
great work Sallala! hope you could finish it soon!

For the cursors is it possible to use the 5 way HW pad? It could be the best solution.
For backspace it could be that you have to press any button for 1 second.
I think also that you can make two more buttons on the right (where now you have three buttons that doesn't work). In this manner you can make the last position (for example the first button abc1) for the numbers. The last two buttons should have also spacebar and other 5 or 6 characters (for example [email protected]? ecc. or what we need most).
What do you think?
Urosh
I forgot another thing.
It could be better if you implement a sound ("bip") or something like this when you tap. It is better to hear the tapping to know how many times you tap.

Guys, this is an update to my old program VJSmallIcons. To say it's long overdue is an understatement
This version retains and persists settings between folders. It can also make the Programs launcher fullscreen. When you go fullscreen, there is a menu option to permit navigation back up to the previous folder.
On a whim, for no good reason at all, I've also implemented my interpretation of the Vista View Mode slider, as seen here in Vista.
The slider can be used to toggle modes. Even if you don't need the app, try the slider! I quite like it :wink: Hopefully you'll see this again in VJSihaya.
Normal Mode

nice unlike the first one, this one works on my device %)
the slider's a bit silly, I suppose, but kinda cute
( are you supposed to be able to drag it? only seems to respond to taps )
However... I just got stuck in a subdir :x VJSmallIconsII disappeared, and tapping 'OK' (which normally goes a dir up) did nothing. Not sure what I did to get in that state. Edit: Found it, check follow-up posts
and a suggestion... the 'go up one level' bit, perhaps it should carry the name of the level above, instead of the current level?
bug report.. if you run it twice, you will seemingly just be using VJSmallIconsII as normal. But changing any of the modes does nothing. If you exit it, it becomes apparent that you were already running it a copy of it - as that instance with its view (which changes correctly) is still there.
btw - nice UI (not sarcasm.. it really is nice!)
whewps.. now it locked up my device >_< I'll try and repro
yay repro
I have PHM PPC Powertoys installed, so I have a dir structure...
"\Program Files\PHM Tools\PHM PPC Powertoys\"
from a fresh boot:
1. Start > Programs (required first-run)
2. Start > VJSmallIconsII (in program history, still)
3. Start > Programs > PHM Tools > PHM PPC Powertoys
4. Tap VJSmallIconsII floater
result: floater disappears
expected result: pop up menu should appear
at this pont everything still seems fine - you can navigate around, etc.
5. Tap OK button
result: nothing happens, you're stuck at this level
expected result: should go up a level
-----
With MagicButton running - Steps 1-4
5. Tap (MagicButton) OK button
result: device locks up
expected result: should go up a level
-----
I don't know if it's the length of the folder name, or the fact that there's two spaces, or... etc. Can't keep poking at it right now
ZeBoxx: Many thanks.
I'll look into the hang. That's not when you're running it twice is it?
It's hanging because it's subclassing the Programs screen, and if for some reason VJSmallIconsII crashes, it'll take the Programs screen down with it.
It does contain code to detect multiple instances, but it occurs to me that because of the way the window is created it's probably not being detected. I didn't contemplate it being run twice I'll fix that!
Yes, slider responds to taps not sliding :wink: Not sure if I'll fix that! At least for now, it's just GUI...
The folder name - good idea, although it's basically for showing what the current folder name is, if you've got it in fullscreen mode and can't see for yourself. I don't mind incorporating either way, whichever you guys think is most logical.
Bug is confirmed with PHM (I have a similar folder structure). I'll look into it when I get home.

Probably doesn't matter - the hang is just when using MagicButton, so I suspect it's because it's using a different method to 'close' the window?

Well, that's why I mentioned two spaces.. e.g. "PHM Tools" - if I'm in there, and I tap VJSmallIconsII - no problem. But once I'm in "PHM PPC Powertoys" - boink.

What os is this supposed to work with? I put it on my 2002 devices and no go. I don't like to try unfinished stuff on the newer phones that I actually use (as phone).
This is a bit off topic....
vijay555, your programs alway seem so slick. You obviously put a great deal of work into them. My question is, why spend so much time on programs that help the user interact with the device when the there is a lack of programs that provide real usefull functionality. I am not critisizing any of you projects, more just pointing at what I see as a lack of things to actually do with a ppc once you have it working.
Hey unable to download this app from your site!
OdeeanRDeathshead: not sure about 2002. It's been tested on Emulator, WM2003SE and WM5. I don't have any 2002 devices to test it on.
Either way, I'd suggest waiting about 45 mins so I can get the buffer overflow bug fixed.
Re the offtopic: I've got a lot of new stuff to write, but for me, I do a lot of playing around mainly as an offshoot of reading. For this app: I wanted to make an app to hide reminders. Thus I wanted an app to remodel the reminders. Thus I wanted to change the button style of the dismiss all button. As a result I thought I'd try the same on the Programs window. It was semi-useful (I never use Programs), so I released VJSmallIcons. I know one guy who used it - it's a small market
Next I'm working on VJToggleToday II. For that, I needed to make a subclassing routine. It was easier to debug that in VJSmallIcons II. So I wrote the subclasser as reusable code.
At the same time, I got interested in owner drawn menus for a TV Listings app I wrote on the PC in VB, which I want to move over to the PPC eventually:
So I experimented with owner drawn menus, and then for no good reason the slider.
So circling back, the subclasser will be re-used in VJToggleToday II, which is a useful app, and the slider will reappear in some form in VJSihaya.
I don't really have time to write "big" apps like a word processor etc. I write what interests or distracts me, or is otherwise being used for research. It's a hobby My stuff is mostly for my own use, or research, but some of it occassionaly might be useful to the wider world, which is why I release it publically. But there are a myriad of bugs and issues in the Phone OS which I like to address for my own use, eg why does it take so many clicks to start a new calendar entry? Why can't we add numbers to existing contacts? If it bothers me enough, I look into my own solutions, more as an academic exercise.
Phew, time for lunch

Guys, I've put the new version, v2.01 back on my site. Fixes the crash on long folder names and prevents loading multiple instances.

PS I don't use magic button. Not sure why that would be any special case. Please report bugs as usual, with BIG BOLD LETTERS. Not really :wink:

Guys,
I've posted a minor update to version v2.02 to fix a small bug where the vertical offset wasn't being taken into account correctly in fullscreen mode.
My audience of 1, ZeBoxx, might have noticed
V
A little while ago, I saw a video of the first iPhone tests. When I saw the gesture & keyboard input using the fingers, I was thinking : I can do that as well...
So I developed my own finger input keyboard.
Since I don't have a mobile PC atm, I've only been able to run the demo on the pocket PC emulator.
Currently it feels a little slow to me, so I was wondering how it was holding up on a real pocket PC, and if anybody would be able to test it, and maybe even post a little video of the test-app in use.
I think atm the dictionary might have the biggest performance impact. In the current version I support about 75000 English words, while most predictive systems use a dictionary consisting of +/- 15000 words. If the performance part is lacking, I might try to reduce the dictionary to 15000 words also.
A few notes :
- currently only the keyboard support is available for WM5/6, so no gestures
- .Net compact framework 2.0 must be installed.
- only English is supported.
- the prediction is intelligent. a few examples of intended first matches:
* SURROGATE (input text : XUERMFSRE )
* TWEAKER (input text : YSRALDR )
* ABSOLUTE BEGINNER (input text : ZHDIMYTR JRHOKKER)
Since I don't have a pocket PC handy atm, I was also wondering if the finger input method is usable on a real Pocket PC. Please let me know what you think...
Here you can see a screen shot of the app in the windows emulator :

- Press clr to clear the current word.
- Press the text box containing the key input to use this word (currently the words do not get added automatically)
- further keyboard enhancements (QWERTY, numbers,... & skinning) will be developed in the future if this turns out to be usable.

Please test it and give me your feedback !!! Thanks !!
Did a test. Comments:
- Yes, it is slow. I had it in my SD, it took 10 seconds to start
- I can't type very fast on a non QWERTY keyboard, consider a QWERTY?
- Yes, it is slow, sometimes, when there are words matches, it takes a while before my next letter appear, and I thought I didn't poke it hard enough, and I get repeating letters
- There is no `back-space` on the keyboard + the previous problem, making testing very unconfortable.
- There seems to be a [] appearing whenever I choose a letter from the list
- I can use the hardware directional pad to choose the word that I want.
Anyway, nice work.. needs some improvements though
Thanks a lot !! You are the first person who actually responds (after about 60 downloads in the past week)...

If I fix most of the problems mentioned here, would you consider this a usable thumb keyboard ?

Hi,
I've tested it, the concept seems to work quite well, however it's a bit too slow for my device (200Mhz HTC Touch)... but I guess some improvment can be made.
Note that developing a custom SIP for pocket device require to write a in-process COM dll... so you'll need native.
Also a quick feedback
- think about UI feedback for keypress, it will make the app look faster.
- for a hand device, selecting the right suggestion with the finger is a bit hard (but hey it's a poc).
- I wonder, do you consider the tap position on the key? (for instance I press E, but I'm closer to R, so suggestion will go to E or R, not Z which is less likely).

Hey, somebody from Belgium as well...
I will release a version with a smaller dictionary soon. The HTC touch was the device I had in mind while developing this app, so it is a pleasure for me to find out the concept in itself seems to work.
Note that developing a custom SIP for pocket device require to write a in-process COM dll... so you'll need native.
Click to expand...

Yes, I know... I was exploring the option of using system-wide mouse events (some kind of gesture to pop-up the keyboard) as an alternative, but the constant switch between native & .NET in the msgproc seems to slow down the pocket PC too much, so I will probably have to convert this into a native c++ app.
Also a quick feedback

Yes, I do, and I predict my words in order of the best matches first. But if E or R would not return enough word matches, I would turn to Z off course
When you consider the typing speed with this, how would you estimate it :
- better/worse then stylus keypad
- better/worse then 'graffiti'
- better/worse then some other method I never heard about.
If possible, could you give me en estimate of the amount of typed words/minute ?

Unfortunately: it's too slow to provide accurate result on my touch. The suggestion panel isn't usable by finger, so I can't provide such result... and I do speak french, so most of my messages are in french. Also I don't have much XP using PDA phone, based on my test, it was the most promising input however.
By the way, if you need help with the C++ version... contact me...
hello,
it crash on a qtek 9100 (Wizard is the US name I think)
it says : outofbound exception... I don't have the full error message.
I have the compact framework 2
Best regards,
Olivier
Please try the new version
could you try the new version (less memory intensive) :
http://www.corebvba.be/blog/CategoryView,category,iPhone.aspx
newer version with qwerty etc...
So far so good.... I have been fixing most of the issues you all suggested, and released a new version on my site :
http://www.corebvba.be/blog/CategoryView,category,iPhone.aspx
This version has better performance, QWERTY, as well as AZERTY & numeric keypads & provides tactile feedback (sound)
Still on my todo list:
- backspace
- Custom words & contacts in dictionary
- skinning
- performance
Please test it and let me know what you think about it.
Let me say your app has a huge potential. You just have to work a little more on the dictionary and the speed of the app, and of, course, on the GUI and this could be a hit.
Promising
Just tried on wizard, speed OK, easy to use very impressed.
Excuse my ignorance, will this be usable with writing text messages, i.e. some sort of program integration or an ability to copy and paste text?
Best 1 thumb text entry method I have tried even with BIG thumbs.
Backspace in the pipeline I see, will keep coming back to check on updates.

Hi,
Tested the latest version, it's still too slow on my touch. Sound feedback is awful, visual feedback maybe the way to go. I've lot of idea for technical improvement, do you want to make it a collaboration project?
regards,
Quentin
Hi just tried your keyboard there, wasn't too sure what to expect, when I noticed tene taking an interest my hopes were raised. I would like to see a keyboard where you can drag your thumb over the letters like tene's contact manager, and the letter pops up in a bubble and is entered when you release your thumb. But it seems to work ok on my artemis, bit slow to load but ok to use. Looking forward to your future work thanks.
And again, anew version 2007-07-20
After a little chat with Tene from xda-developers.net, I suddenly realised that the performance problems could be easily solved my making the keyboard a little bit less tolerant to errors.
So I adjusted a single variable, compiled the version, and ... Now it even runs smooth on my emulator...
You can download the version at the same link :
http://www.corebvba.be/blog/CategoryView,category,iPhone.aspx
Please let me know what you think about the performance

This message points to an error when loading the dictionary from the exe itself. As it works on the other pcketpc's, i was wondering if you have got the latest version of .net compact framework correctly installed. Maybe an uninstall and then reinstall of the compact framework might help ?
Can find this at greek language ????plesae help me
hello,
ok, I will try to uninstall the framework, and install it again.
I will keep you updated.
just to give you the information : I actually have the framework 2, and I have some program using it properly.
but anyway, I will try what you ask.

Thanks I didn't notice
I'm downloading and trying now
You should have named the thread something more attracting like NEW POINTUI 02/05/08
Thanks for the info
First Glance
At first glance it looks amazing!!! I might get flamed for that but it is my opinion.
Currently,
-Sliding is smooth.
-It has a contacts application! Would like to see an option for Favorite Contacts.
-Calendar rework on the ribbon is great. Shows numerous days appointments.
-Dpad controls are present.
-Really intuative.
-Customization of animation is available under Customize Home. It can flip like the cube but in all directions.
-Battery drain is better but still a little more than my liking. This is probably device specific.
-Resource usage is down on my Wizard from before but still higher than most small programs
This is probably because things that PointUI controls in their interface like Weather, Contacts, CommManager
etc are always available immediately, no delay. It takes resources to do that. But I have to say overall 2 of
2 of the most recent cubes I have tried and 1 of the iphone knock offs I have tried have both been Ram hogs
with half the immediate access or smoothness this program gives.
-Messaging and calendar seem to be customizable to a degree still using a reg editor. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355961
-They have their own keyboard going on. Try to edit a contact and see what I mean. It would be nice to see it
skinnable because the color of it is so dark.
-Scrolling is still opposite. Both on press and direct, and flick to scroll but I like it.
------
Things I'd Like to see--These may actually come, see my notes below
-More options on weather. I like HTC Weather plugin much better. It would be nice to see more forcasts then
today and tomorrow. I really think a Hybrid of HTC Today Weather and Weather Watcher would be the best
but they may have an issue covering all of the countries.
-PointUI Calendar-Bet its coming
-PointUI SMS-Bet its coming
-PointUI VOIP
-PointUI Dialpad
-PointUI Media Hub & Player. Bet something like it is coming but man wouldn't it be great if they would team up with
A_C to make a killer integrated app!!!!!
-Rework the lock screen. Again they should talk to A_C here.
-Would like to see a Charging indicator on the home page battery icon. It does show however when pressed.
-Would like to see a Sync icon appear when connected to the PC
I haven't spent much more than 10 minutes with it. I don't know how customizable it is as of yet. It looks like on their site they are developing more programs and customizations to go with it. I also notice that at the top of the download section there was an emphasis on this Home being "Free". That along with the green check marks for some things and red x's for others makes me think that adds or improvements may cost money going forward.
Thats ok. Good programs do cost money and should be paid for.
I will add more as I test further.

Completely approve with you
I know it's a little early but to make this program "perfect" :
- an integrated SMS manager, like they did for Contacts
- surely theme customisation
- a shortcut manager for programs on the HOME screen (eg change the outlook calendar to ThumbCal or the Messaging to a program other than Outlook messaging)
Though, this program is still GREAT, and this update brings decents modifications and fixes

I believe the integrated SMS is coming. Just from looking at their website it will be there but they will probably charge for it and good for them.
Theme customization same thing
The shortcut manager is there in a way. Just press the "Star" Icon. I actually think it helps keep the screen clean of clutter. For you other 2 requests, ThumbCal and Messaging. You can change these using a reg editor. Not as simple as a ui but it can be done. Let me know if you need help with it.

new version looks promising..waiting for Wm2003 Edition
The new version is incredible!!!
a quick question
I am using version 1.02b, is it better to uninstall this version and start fresh? or should I use the update manager instead?
I really liked PointUI when it first came out, but realized pretty soon that I couldn't use it because of the way it lists the tasks. I was really hoping they had fixed that in this version, but see that it still lists tasks alpabetically instead of by due date.
Looks great, and the "Pick a version" screen definately implies "another (non free) version is coming soon"
Aaaa VGA version still have to wait

I would recommend you completely unintall the previous version. By that I mean go through their unistall method and soft reset. Then file explore and delete all info out of \Program Files. Then reg edit and delete all info in \HKCU and \HKLM. Soft reset and then use this one.
Cheers

Hey there !
Thanks for your great app
I want to suggest you a different way to measure progress in weightloss.
Since there can be a problem in measuring only the weight (drinking more/less before the measurement, going to restroom, ...)
i want to ask you to include a alternative weightloss measurement.
User can add the circumfences of both legs and both arms and the waist circumfence,
and your cool app sums them up und displays it also on the weight chart as an alternative index
Also a fancy feature would be a reminder to weight/measure( ) yourself.
Best regards, Marko
Nice app! I support the suggestions above.
Already sent an email for Dutch translation.
I think it's a cool app.
A suggestion would be to make some kind of possibility to calculate/diagram weightchange on a week or month basis.
Then it would be easier to get a picture of whether the weight is going in the right direction or not.
Right now I miss the overview a bit..

Sometimes it's better to keep it simple. Keep in mind what the name of the app is. There's a lot of fitness/tracking apps already..
It doesn't rotate, that should change.
x feet isn't accepted without 0 inches.
I have light grey text on a white background, a bit hard to read (when entering weight).
The text, when entering weight, is way too small.
When adding weight the Time says "Set manually" on the button, but it isn't clear as it doesn't show the current time pre-entered (or listed).
If Set manually is tapped in the adding weight, it doesn't allow going back to the current time (not too big of a deal, but still an imperfection in the program).
When entering weight, it should have the keyboard already up.
When the keyboard is up to enter weight it blocks the OK button so one has to hit the back button on the phone to get the keyboard out of the way to tap OK (return on the keyboard doesn't work, which is not really an issue?)
I *really* like that you have the phone pad (mainly #'s) keypad popup when entering the weight, which should be a # (as "too much" is hard to graph . I wish more programs did that!
I haven't used it yet, just installed and launched it, so hopefully more later! So far it is looking useful (don't let my comments dishearten you, feedback means I care enough to provide it).
MT4G, CM7 nightly 36
Perfect! I need to stop being a fatty.
I do find it very odd that it doesn't do portrait orientation though. I've never seen an app that didn't default to portrait, or at least support it!

Thanks to all for all your suggestions!!!
Lot of work right now, but I'm taking notes of all of them, and will try to implement then as soon as possible
There are some of them which I think it might complicate a bit the use of the application... but I will consider putting something like advance tab, and add the options there, thought that I will do in my free time, and don't have so much free time right now
Great! Finally an alternative to the abandoned Weight Journal app. It might not be as "pretty" but it's not the most important thing I guess.
I will just need to migrate my data and as this is open source I will be able to add online syncing ! When I find some time I will try to contribute Google Spreadsheets syncing.

If you don't have enought time, and you find something pointing about google spreadsheets syncing, I could do it and add it to the project
Perfect! Found it at a perfect moment: just as I started my diet. First change in the graph: a steep 5 lbs drop (yay!)
If anything comes up with the app, I'll let you know!

Well, all you really need is here: http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/
I haven't worked with this API, but given how the Google Maps API works this shouldn't be a problem

Here's more (I don't repeat unfixed issues I listed previously):
Problems:
Unlabled Y axis
Starts at right side of screen
No 0 on scale (or not enough span) makes early entries alarming (steep slope for even minor change)
About box doesn't include version number
Scale auto-adjusts even when swiping around
Numbers generally too small
Export to png then goes to Share file (OK if pick says "Export to png & share" or some such). Perhaps Share as a separate menu, then it asks what to share (PNG, ODS, etc).
When going over the preset max weight it says "You are over the weight!", "the" needs to be specified, e.g. "You are over the max weight!"
Suggestions:
Have some way to sort by time of day (e.g. morning weigh-ins versus evening weigh-ins)
Allow marking chart with comments (e.g. "Vacation on cruise ship")
Pinch and zoom
Show for Y axis the max and goal weights as max/min (or min/max)
Should have a Weight alert that isn't maximum but is minimum (some people have the opposite problem to most of us)
Likes:
The existance of the program
The export & import
The license
The BMI calculation
The 7 day average
The automatic time entry
More... (the above are what is most noticable to me)
Don't feel I'm being pushy or whiny at all--I really appreciate you doing this and I understand what side projects are. You asked for feedback, and I like your utility, so I figure I should provide my feedback

Thanks for your feedback. It's greatly appreciate I just hope to find time
Hope to provide an update soon ;D
Found a bit of free time again New version with minor changes. Lot of things to do yet, I don't forget your suggestions!
Works great. Looks good on a tablet (Xoom).
One thing though: tried to install from the Market instead of using the apk found here and it certainly doesn't support tablets. I guess it hasn't updated yet?
