Just a thought
Till now I have't seen any one making tabbed navigation based on category unless I missed. So here is my thought.
Design part1:Top row will have 30-40 pixels space for tabs and categorised header values in it Like office tools,Messaging tools,Phone tools, Fun tools, games,Networking tools, Misc tools etc.
Functonality:Clicking on each tab will show respective lauch icons in the bottom area.Ofcourse users should be given option to catagorise their tools into one of given headers list. Its nice if we can give users an option to define header tab values as well.
Design part2:Now bottom 250-260 pixels area is reserved for icons as shown in your attachment.Place a graphic background with spiral binding in middle of two vertical columns and overley our launching icons on that back ground. its nice if users are given option to change background.
Functonality:scrolling finger from right end to back should turn to next page which is having next set of icons in the selected category.Its nice if we can show some page turn animation. In the same way swiping finger from left end to front should turn page back.
It looks more great if it is full screen and added 3D graphic background with some shadows on spiral and tab.
No need to mention that application is lauched on clicking the icons
Best of luck.

Thanks for the suggestions jonnala,
Launch Manager has something called shortcut pages,
which is a group of 10 shortcuts,
and you can create a shortcut to a page, so its like your category.
Keep in mind launch manager can handle hundreds of shortcuts not just the 10 displayed
I am working on ways to indicate pages better.
And the fancy graphics are planned too.
And changing background is also planned, you can change tiles.bmp for now.
Please download it and give it a try, I have a feeling you may like it.
Thank You
Take Care

Wow i really like it. its almost 60% as I said in my eariler post.I can create one page called home (having page short cuts) and dedicate one icon space to home page in all remaining pages(having program shortcuts).

I really like the idea and the program. You should try to get some sort of touch scrolling in it. Otherwise, very useful

Thank you for your kind words,
I will see what I can do about touch scrolling, it was a planned feature.
Please keep sending any suggestions and thank you for trying it.

Hmmmmmmmmm.
Its similar to the build in launcher from wktask and thats freeware.
But of course its a nice application, it has more shortcuts and its fast.
I would suggest to add one feature:
If the shortcut is one to a phone call contact it would be great to see the picture of this contact (if theres a picture).

hope this is a freeware...but its nice!

It reminds me of mortbuttons which is freeware as well.

Hey.. cool. Touchflo type scrolling (make it work like the touch cube and you're a legend) and showing the contact picture will make this a real gem. It's like a launcher and contact management type of software in one.

[October 18] TouchFLO 2D dialer VGA development thread [Test 6][canceled for now]

Hi dearest fellow XDA community!
Since I thought it wouldn't be practical to have both the VGA and QVGA Touchflo 2D dialer in one thread I thought I'll open a new one, only VGA in this one.​

This is the current progress I've made:

As some of you know I've made several dialpad skins, though lately more and more people buy a device like the Touch Diamond or Pro wich features a VGA screen. My QVGA skins/dialer won't work on VGA devices so the next thing was inevitable, people wanted the dialer in VGA.
The problem with that is that I currently don't own a VGA device thus making testing hard/impossible for me to do. That's why I need the community, yes I need YOU! for the U.S. Army xD
That means I wan't you to test out if the graphics are looking nice and if there are any glitches. I am not able to help with technical problems only graphical, sorry for that.
fards here from xda just donated his old HTC Universal to me so next week I hope I'm able to test some VGA! thanks fards!
In this thread I will keep you posted about updates through this code field, it will indicate what is included in the current test version. I'll also keep a small changelog.
what's in the current version:
Code:
| Portrait | Landscape
Main Dialpad | done |
Incoming | done |
Outgoing | done |
Videocalling | |
History | |
Save to Contacts | done |
-->latest version<--​
Version tracker:
Test 6: redesigned the main dialpad, added some missing icons in the progress screen (conference and swap), skinned the save to contacts dialog and added default pictures for people without a contact picture.
If someone is able to give me some screenshots of the videocalling screen I can start skinning that! Please supply them to me in a good quality (mymobiler -> save screen as bmp)
as usual feel free to:
Donate​
oh yeah, please leave me a note before placing my work on your blog or web/warez site!

Is this coming to QVGA? I know this is VGA thread. I just like the new look and incomig call notice. BOO

its already on QVGA. although not the exact same.
@paul:
I know you said you cannot help with any technical problems, I want to ask if these .cabs are just replacing the dialer images or more?
This is because there are indeed technical issues regarding Test5 which caused me to uninstall. But if these .cabs are only replacing the dialer images then I could pin point whats the problem more easily.
Note to others, just want to know if anybody else are having the same issues.
-After installing dialer, flip to mute isn't working.
-After receiving/making phone calls the dialer stays open
- last dialed number randomly pops open on the dialer at times.
THanks for you hard work PAUL!

I second that. Although I like the dialer better on the QVGA version that's already out, the incoming caller ID screen is VERY SEXY

another bug found. Think it should be classed as a Graphical bug because test5 was fine.
anyways when the dialer is summoned, the bottom central SIP graphic is garbled and messy. nothing like what your demo above shows.
But either way its a very good dialer!
EDIT::
fixed with a softie.
Strange because i soft reset after installing the dialer.
So 2x Softies if you have similar to what i wrote above
THanks again!

help for video call vga
http://rapidshare.com/files/155117454/VideoTelephony_Diamond__color_battery__Swtos.cab.html

Heads up!
What does that cab do john?
Anyway what I wanted to announce is that I won't continue skinning the VGA version until I have my own VGA device. It's just too much of a hassle to let you test it for me. Fards has sent me his old universal by mail yesterday and I expect it to be in my hands around monday or tuesday, so then I will continue skinning for VGA.
I could do a port to qvga and release V1.1 of the qvga version so I'll might do that in the meantime.
No updates today, I have to work and my girlfriend just got home from holiday so I'm out tonight.
Thanks,
Paul
ps: When I have my own device I will look for a better Touch Diamond dialer. The one I'm currently using isn't bugfree. So If you want something to do just find a good working cab. (one without the keyboard bug and with videocall in the main dialpad instead of contacts) If you find that, it would be just great!

On the scr ... the dialing and open keyboard - small bug...
as before can you take a look to that?

That looks really sexy =) Oh, one question though is this for Tf2D or can I use this with the default tf3d, too ?
Thanks an advance ^__^

The dialer skin is independant of TF3D so yes, it can work. It's called TF2D probably cos the look and feel is inspired by TF2D.

any plans of updating the qvga theme similar to this one? this looks really nice.

Wow Paul, this looks amazing. How did you get the incoming call screen? Am I right that the QVGA version does not have the incoming caller function? Looking forward to a QVGA port of this version! Thank you.

nice neat and clean. but I think it is consuming too much RAM on my device (Eten X800). I tried uninstalling it but it wont. When I uninstall it waits quite a while and says "some parts weren't removed do you want to remove from prog list" ... .. when I soft reset it is still there.
any advice ?

Looks super-cool, However:
Once installed it resets my batty-monitor back to the original one. cant seem to get rid of that one. .
De rest of the thing is a bit.. unstable. But i am sure this wil soon be fixxed.
Keep up the good work!
(htc-touch-pro, custom rom)

Im thinking of change manila dialer because of memory consumption near 10MB so how about your child how much memory it will cost??? thx anyway looks great perfect to my new diamond look

Yes finally a VGA dialer for the HTC Touch Diamond I'll test it right now,THANKS
3 hours later well this is what happened i installed this new dialer pretty cool but the 3G,H,Edge icon's changed when i installed this dialer?

any news? on that

30-01-2009: 0.0.2.45 Mobillityflow Touch-Shell Beta testing

Hello,
I'm following the beta's off the release from Mobillityflow Touch-Shell.
More info: http://www.touch-shell.com/beta
I'm testing this all on my HTC Kaiser (Tytn II) with WM 6.1.
It has a slide-out keyboard, so that explains the screenshots (portrait & landscape)
They release the one beta after the other but don't update what has been changed.
I posted in an other post a review how i thinked about the program with screenshots and they liked my review:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412823).
So i got a free copy!
Because off that i want to follow the beta's more. I started this new post so i can manage the first posts and it's easier to follow the updates for you guys.
For now there are my older reviews in the #2, #3 & #4 post, please tell me what i could test and what you want to see changed in the program (the developers will read it to!)
If there are enough people enjoying, giving feedback, etc. I'll update this post more and more.
It's a bit messy for now
Ow, don't forget to fill in the poll!

Tested on 2009-01-22 Version 0.0.2.28 beta
Today i tought again about this program and installed the new beta.
They don't say what the diffirent is, they just uploaded it.
2009-01-22 Version 0.0.2.28 beta:
Changes I notifced:
It corrected displayed now all the tabs when switching from portrait tot landscape (unlike in earlier versions, see post #22). I do this by sliding out my keyboard on my Kaiser.
BUT when removing to much tabs, it shows something off the last page (see what I marked red in screenshot 7 & 8)

- The music tab seems to function, i miss the buttons repeat and shuffle, but that's all. First time you press play or something else on the page it will load Windows Media Player.
- Everything seems to work smoother (switching to pages, clock animation, weather animation, etc...).
Touch Shell uses 3.3 MB memory on my Kaiser without Windows Media Player playing. With Windows Media Player it uses 3.5 MB
Everything was slowing down when playing music, but i noticed that Windows Media Playser used 33.6 MB (!), so i killed it and everything worked normal again.
I will test this more (I don't think this has anything to do with Touch-Shell).

Older beta test 1/2
1/2
I used many different Today Shells (spb, m2d, m3d, ultimatelaunch, touch-commander, etc.)
Touch-commander was great, but was to simple for me.
What I think is about Touch-Shell (tested it with M2d shutted down):
- It's a program, not a plugin.
- Nice lay-out on my Tytn II (320x240)
BUT when i turn it to landscape by sliding my keyboard out (240x320) sadly enough it doesn't re-allign.
Screenshots:
- The Weather page looks great, many chooses (accuweather & gismeteo) and great graphics.
--- Continued at next post (i may only post 4 images) ---

older beta test 2/2
2/2
- The launcher and contact page are both the same (you can add contacts and programs whatever you want). Disadvantage: one click call, so no link to the contact to choose call or sms, but 1 click calling.
- Music page is just a link to Windows Media player, nothing more!
I was playing music in the background, but you can't see it in the screenshot.
So I think (and hope) it's developing. Support for coreplayer, TCMP, etc.?
- The plugin page, is just 1 page where you can add plugins (hope there will come more support. Like plugins below the clock or something).
- The lowest "menu" where you can choose wich page you wanna go isn't as great as m2d but works fast.
- Choose to close pages you don't use (see plugin page, there i've left the close button)
- Choose the start page (after booting, wake-up)
- Much options if you compare it with m2d: Very short most off the options (hope it will be more)
-Load on Windows start
-Home page: 12/24 hours clock, blinking every 1-5 seconds on or off. Date format (dddd dd MMMM yyy for exapmle)
-Weather page: choose all the citys from AccuWeather or GisMeteo. Units. Connection, choose wich one to use, or default. Auto update interval, show or don't show connection status balloon.
-Plugins page: wich plugins and move them up and down
-Choose wich page is the start page and when to display it (device wakup, device idle for...)
-Switch page visual effect: Horizontal Slide, Page Turn, Rotation and choose a background color
I think it will be a great program, i've played a couple of hours with it.
It is to much beta to say anything really good or really bad about it.
Hope you enjoyed my review (feedback is welcome...)
You can ask questions, the program will stay a couple off days (15?) on my phone .

does it support square screen?

I have installed Touch Shell on my Wizard and is working fine. But it needs to be activated. Please let me know the activation key...

It should support it. Not sure about it.
If you could test it and report it in this threat it will be great
Omnia (WVGA) is not supported as i readed it from 2 "testers".

works with vga?

I´ve copied some post from the original post:
BUT, that was before the newer betas come out.
Before it doesn't reallign on my Kaiser (from portrait to landscape), now it does. That does mean that the application probaly is "streched" to the screen where it was before just 240x320 and nothing else.
The best thing you could do is test, make screenshots and post it back here
Answer is short: probaly it does, not sure, test it yourself please.

- about 3 weeks ago:
Anyone tried Touch-Shell on a Palm Treo pro?
It doesn't fill out the 320x320 screen, keeps you from locking the screen unless you exit T-S.
Any fixes out here for these issues?

in 2008:
Touch Shell does not work on VGA devices which is a let down for me. Or at least it's not working on my Fuze... I did however test it out on my wifes Tilt and it only seemed to be a glorified Touch Commander.
I was highly looking forward to this so I hope future versions become more robust like TF3D. I know it's early beta so I still have high hopes.

thank you
i'm waiting for a new release

Touch-Shell v0.0.2.46 is out still not fix the animate weather on HTC Touch and little slow on respond.

I was a big fan of Touch Commander and made many skins for it. Now since getting a Fuze and having TF3D, Touch Shell seems too far behind and is no comparison. It may have taken too long to get Touch Shell going and people might have moved on. (Just my opinion with no facts to back it up)
With the popularity of the Touch Pro / Fuze / Diamond / Touch HD, all with TF3D included, can TS compete? I'll still support them and will most likely purchase when there is a full VGA release and crank out some skins..

VGA has been supported for weeks now ( not sure about official though). I used it on my Diamond but it's still not quite up to speed and is still a little buggy so I again uninstalled it.
Also, TS CAN compete in one way to TF3D. I offers something that TF3D does not: a complete Today Plugin tab within the shell that exactly mimics the traditional Today screen. That one feature sets it apart from any other shell I've used.

Yes, it is .
But You should to replace original "Skin_landscape.xml" with modiffied by me.
On my i780 works fine.

Main Feature
The main feature of this ROM is to "unite" all the programs. With the help of HTCtoucher im skinning some Windows components as well as some third party apps.
Thanks to:
HTCtoucher for 95% of the graphics and skins, hes incredibly talented, please visit his page and send him a donation for his hard work

A_C for his S2U2 and S2P apps A_C's Website
Quentin Pouplard for his PocketCM COntact and Keyboard Apps PocketCM Website
Install procedure:
Due to the fact this ROM contains extensive theming and theres only so much cab editing i can do, there are a couple of little things you will need to do.
1. To enable PCMcontact skin go into it, hold down the "phone" icon, select "options" and select the "htctoucher gloss v4" theme from the drop down list.
2. To enable the PCM Keyboard skin download the .skin file. Copy it to the PCMKeybard folder in My programs. Then select the keyboard in sms or whatever, hold down the enter button, glide across to options and select "gloss smaller" as your theme, it will take a few seconds to load.
3. Radio 1.58.x is recommended
Included in Rom:
Manila Skin
Comm Manager skin
Opera Splash
Audio Manager
Fingermenu + skin
"All programs" skin
Calculator + skin

Change Log

Updated drivers to 1.60 (increased program memory)

wow! that's looked great! when can we try it?

I like it

Hi addrez91,
Just waiting .. Take your own time.. Please do not rush things, we can wait for a good ROM and will wait.

Looks really nice, will be testing this out when its released.
Thanks for your effort

Ill be releasing it in a couple of days.
It was based on C_shekas rom but im having a few issues. I cant get the camera to work at all which is a bit of a problem lol.
Anyway im going to start afresh on a clean rom so it should give me more program memory and less issues cropping up.
As it stands based on C_shekas rom, i like it. Its quite fast.
My internet speed has been cut to 32kb/s...yes im not kidding you. Australian ISP's are bastards. My maximum download speed it 3kb so it would take me a week to upload the 100mb rom. Thankfully it will be reset on the 18th back to normal speed.

I like it, waiting for first release to flash

Please add video calls to this release.

Wow!!!!!!!! Amazing!! I want it:

Video calls will have to be for the next release.
Its possible, but the png files have to be edited one by one and theres lots....

Thanks.

This ROM looks great. I always look for skins and stuff but I can never make my Polaris look the way I want. This ROM could make a difference. Grat job. Looking forward.

Great look , if Mr. Shekhar work on it , it will be a very good rom, the graphics are very cool, waiting to flash

Well ive managed to delete the Manila program shortcuts in the programs menu, and ive also managed to change the date on the home tab to white, ive also managed to change the left softkey to "phone" instead of the broken "new" link.
I had to revert the dialer back to the original one because you couldnt adjust the in call volume for what ever reason. In saying that, i have skinned some files so it will look pretty much the same. There are alot of dialer pngs to be skinned and ive done just the most basic ones, with the rest coming in due time.
Ive managed to fix the PCM keyboard bug which showed a line of distorted graphics, unfortunately it has introduced another bug. The W key has no label...its just a blank button lol.Manually inserting the .skin files however displays no issues. Ive investigated it and when i edit the cab and put in the .skin files they drop a kb...and when extracted the w png becomes unusable. Why? i have no idea...
The only problem left to fix before i release is the non working camera, this could be related to my radio however, i will download a new radio later tonight when my internet is abck to normal and test.

May I suggest a program addition ? I really like Opera Mini for day by day browsing. It's much faster and easyer to use than Opera Mobile. Of course Opera mobile still remains. Skyfire, latest v9 beta also is verry interesting. It's pretty fast in showing streaming media. It could be usefull also an wifi on/off toggeler shortcut in Programs folder, so if anybody want's to use it can add it into manilla programs.
Great work. Looking forward into flashing it. Does it include Footprints ? I just wonder, if there are tabs dezactivated in Manilla, the RAM memory used remaind the same or is lowered ? I've been using Radio 1.58.32.33 with ROMs having 1.6 driver and Camera is working fine.

Ill add more programs in the next release but for now i might just leave it just Opera.
Ive reskinned the Calculator and i think it looks pretty good, matches the same buttons as the Dialer.
Still havent been able to download the new radio to see if it fixes the camera but in 2 hours exactly i will download a see, and if the camera works ill be uploading the rom.
Ill have to update the front page images to reflect the changes ive made.

what is the memory like. because most roms loaded with eveything just runs slow. nice and slow

Memory isnt *that* bad, hangs around 35mb. Plenty for me at any rate but not sure about others.
Ive tried a new radio but the camera STILL doesnt work. This is starting to piss me off lol.
Ive tried different camera modules from different roms and still nothing. Im going to try installing the original rom and see.
*sigh*

Well im officially calling for some help lol.
I just cant get this the camera working, ive tried different file sets and none will work and i dont know why.
I think it *might* have something to do with the 3D drivers.
Im using UDK's kitchen and i dumped C_shekas OEM and SYS folders straight into it. I think the 3d drivers are still included somehow because i have a total of 84mb of program memory when simply using C_shekhas rom i have a little over 100mb.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be incredibly helpful because i dont want to release it without the camera working...
Whenever i open the camera it states "Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device.
Its not the radio as ive tried both 1.58 and 1.59. SO im just stumped.

Do you have all dependencies for the camera there? I know it requires mHub (not same as mHubVO) and possible other things.

[APP] Pocket Gforce v2.04 RC (04-11-2009)

Hi all If you already follow my Thread of" Pocket Gforce" you know that i stop working on it because of the lack of time.
Atm igot myself whit some spare time and whit lots of requests to continue the project.
So i start developing a new Pocket Gforce (v2) that is fully customizable and works in any Resolution(VGA, WVGA, etc and Landscape or Portrait) as long you got a proper skin.
This is where you come in.
This is the skin that i made and i will explain how you can make one.

BIG UPDATE
The "basic.png" is the skin that i create (i advice to use paint.net or other program to make the skins using layers)
The "basic.ini" is the configuration of the skin like this
//Starts Here (don't change the lines order)

graph_background_color_b=0
// the file continues for the Y Z T and Speed dials (at the moment speed dont work)
(Midle dial is "S", left one is "Y", right is "Z" and bottom is "X"
And this is the part that show all the skins that you have in the skins folder and where you can change them. To access it push middle button or open "Pocket gForce 2 Options"
Unbaliveble only one person post something and actually no one contact me about skins or beta testing so i suppose no one really cares... but i had 1215downloads of it
So if the community don't want to help i just gonna sell my project as i was always for open source but...
Any way the program is now working whit the Sensors and in the next week i will test whit the gps part.
So do you really care/like about Pocket Gforce ? What to see Pocket Gforce 2 at max capacity, the way you like and above all FREE?
So Start making some skins...

any way i already downlodad ir lets see if its work on my omnia ill let you know

Please keep up the good work, if you received no big feedback for your apps, this might be just because the people are happy with it and got no problems. I see most of the replies for any application is based on errors and bugs.

Hi all i made some major updates as the Sensores are now working and i implemented a graph system.
Check the skins i made so you can understand the possibility of this program, and ppl plz contribute whit some skins tips or critics cuz i need some incentive to keep it free

It should work but back then the sensors where not activated, check the latest versions, but as the originals skins don't have the proper size you will not use the full size of your screen.

I suppose your right but no comments at all is very frustrating...

I have downloaded it. I will reply after the use.

Ah thats awesome
I love the version befor, hmm i dont remember the version number but i truly love it!
One thing i think you implement or change is a tab or mode that the speedometer is the same size as the overall g-meter.
That i think would be nice
Just PM me if you need any testing!
//linkus
EDIT
I noticed one thing, I have SPB Mobile Shell, on a Touch Diamond, and when i start the app and it change the display to landscape, it wont change back to regular mode after exit.
Cheers

hi !!
i've never used your app, but i can test the last version if you want !!
I'm searching such an app for a long time, because i can't buy me a Nissan GTR !! (To understand the joke, ask google to show you the computer screen of that car !!)
Have a nice day !!

love the v1 app but couldn't get it to show in MPH, so thought i'd give the new version a try. Looking good so far but the screen doesn't fill properly on my TouchHD. Also, can't find a way to exit the app, other than taskmanager which leaves the screen in landscape mode. Thx

As i say there is a need to some one to make some skins for other resolutions so my one skins fit best on VGA devises, wi dont you try to make some skins and post them here for other also? And dont forget that is not only backgroud is also what you whant to display.

Actualy i forgot that not all devises have the Dpad so my new vertion will be totaly TouchScreen controled, sorry for that.
Any way the new vertion will be release next monday or so whit the GPS working.

I've no idea how to make a skin, but if you give me some pointers, or links to tutorials i'll have a go, I mean, how hard can it be?? LOL (ducks)

I supose my explanation on the first post is a ls some what confuse, so here is a temporaty tourial as i supose i can make a video and post in youtube
I recommend you grab a copy of the free Paint.Net whit as me tool "magic wand" for select parts of images and have multi layer capability. There are lots of tutorials about it.
1. google some gauge dials like this one for example
2. find some nice background for it
3. use Paint.net and the tool "magic wand" to cut only the dial (normally you need to adjust the % of the tool to get the part you need.
4. you wil get a clean image of the dial without the background, remove also anything you dont want, like needles if it there is any or any text you dont need.
5. make a new image whit you device resolution whit the background
6. Put a new layer on top of the background and copy/past the dial in the spot you want
7. repeat the last step fot the rest of the dials
8. save it as "test.png" MUST BE PNG
9. Open one of the already created skins like "basic.ini"
(check post one for a explanation of the ini file)
10. disable anything that you dont use (like some dials digitals or graphs)
11. start putting coordinates and sizes (use paint.net to get the coordnates for some poits like the center of the dial.
12. save it as "test.png"
13. copy the "test.png" and "test.ini" to the skins folder
14. enjoy

Ok, thought I'd try something simple to start with so i just made an HD version of your basic skin. I wanted to put the speed on there too, but it shows as huge 'g' numbers so i just turned it off in the ini. Once i figure out the concept of skinning properly i'll come up with some others (i prefer a portrait style). Incidentally i the middle dial is 'T' not 'S' as stated in your instructions. Couldn't figure out how to make the dials eliptical rather than round either.

I think i'm getting the hang of it. Tweaked gfAnalizer for the HD and created a new skin from scratch. Let me know what you think, obviously the speedo isn't working but i've left it enabled anyway.

Nice start whit the skins, im going to put the layer files of basic so ppl can use them easy.
Im compiling users skin on then 3post, after some more skins appear

Just been for a test drive
There are a few things i think this app needs:
Exit option
Calibrate or Zero option when installed in car.
0-60 time which starts when car moves off and stops when reaching 60.
Log facility, ideally with gps info stored for overlay on google maps
Regards
