I am not sure whether this is the right place to post my first attempt on Pocket PC or not in view of all the important and usefull applications.
But maybe you also have seen people playing Impossible Mission on IPhone and maybe you also wanted something like that for your XDA.
If you are interested, please check what I have created so far.
Very first Beta, only tested on XDA Prophet.
*Update*
Thank you all for your feedback
It boosts my notion to build some updates soon:
fight latency/delay
costum sounds
scrollable more keys/sounds
simple but good... thanks..
wow
thank you i love it
good..but i have 0.5 sec of latency
I have one minor complaint... Some of the notes aren't quite in tune
And one feature request: Having the sounds stored as files so that a "voice" can be selected/changed.
lol thats cool!
better sounds and less delay would be aweseome
Thanks...
It's working great on my X-tel WM5...

work mostly perfect
Hi I'm a musician, so forgive me please
feature Request:
better sounds
faster latency
Some notes are really not in tune!
not only one octave, would be nice to make it changeable
But thank you very much!!! really good for a first attempt!!!
ruebyi
It's running very smoothly on my Prophet, but I want more octaves!
Keep up the great work!
slight delay on HTC TOUCH
but i like it!
So it is very first beta yeah?. Now it is good but in future it can be awsome! More octaves please
Sorry, forgot to mention, it works with some delay on my XDA Terra
Works perfectly on Herald and Prophet (WM6 Both).
Thank you very much! Keep up good work.
Thanks! This is really cool. Works well on my Wizard. There is only one thing Im missing, a scroll or something to "move" the PPCiano. Keep up good work!
I've noticed a little quirk (at least on my Prophet) with the sounds. The first time each key is pressed, it has a small amount of lag between the keypress and the sound. After the initial press, the sound is almost instantaneous...

noticed the exact same thing after starting the program..pressing each key did initially have a small lag. But then they responded instantly afterwards.
Thank you all for your feedback

I think a great way of adding more keys/octaves would be the ability to "grab" the keys and drag them across the screen to reveal further octaves...
Yes i also was thinking of something like that in these times of touch flow fever

It doesn't bother me, but people on the other end of the line complain that the beeping the Tytn makes when changing volume during a call is too loud. Especially the beep at the top end of the volume slider.
I did a little digging (after searching and checking the wiki fruitlessly) and found a solution that I thought I'd share. 8) I'm new here so I'll let someone else update the wiki if this looks useful.
There are actually 3 different sounds in play here: the one at the bottom end of the slider (quietest), the one in the middle posisitions (standard), and the one at the top end of the slider (loudest). These are handled by 3 registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LoudestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\QuietestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\StandardInCallVolume
within each of these keys the default 'Script' value is 'p' for 'play'
Change the 'Script' value to blank (erase the 'p')
Now the sounds won't be played and won't annoy your friends. Bonus - at least perceived by me - since the tytn isn't playing those sounds, the volume actually changes MUCH FASTER, practically instantaneously - the way you'd (or at least I'd) like it to.
Hope this is useful to someone...
Great - that really REALLY bugged the hell out of me! One for fit4cat Hermes Tweaker maybe?
Wiki updated, but don't be shy to do it yourself next time
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
BTW, the tweak works perfect on my TyTN, thanks!
Great! I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Thanks pof.
Thank you so much.
Excellent update!
nice one! that was doing my nut!
FANTASTIC
This is my first post to this forum... and I have to say that since buying my TyTN I have been plagued with the obvious "buying it in france and wanting it in english with the french HW keyb" problems, and then annoying things like the volume beeps were just exasperating.
This has made a huge difference
THANK YOU very much!!!
sorry guys but i forgot to go into the registry editing... how can i do it? thanks ;-) and sorry

You need to use 3rd party software, like PHM Registry editor or Resco Registry...
I fixed my problem when i updated my tytn with imate rom. Now, volume changes are faster with no annoying sound.
Very nice!!!
Thanks - Rich
Thank you! It's always nice to find these new tweaks, and this one certainly makes a noticeable difference.
Thanks for the tweak, my ears are pleased with it already!!
nice one cheers!!
WOW ! I didn't realize so many people would benefit from this. I didn't find any discussion of it when I searched.
Glad I could help. I won't be shy about posting new stuff I find in the future.
I also suffered from this stupid htc/windows programing bug.
Thank you!!
I read about and implemented this right after you posted it. It works a treat.
THANKS!
Nice one, mightyeric. I've spread the word on other forums... (but made sure I credited you!!!)
Does anyone have the skills to make this into a CAB for easy install?
Excellent, thanks for the tip- My 'dial' sound seems to have changed or corrupted somehow (I don't see how I would have changed it) so I've turned it off now- very handy- thanks
I have been trying to work on something that will enable some sort of Haptic feed back on my XV6800. The Haptic feed back is a feature that enables vibration to the screen when you press on the screen. Such as the Voyager.
I dont intend to try and make this just to work with the XV6800 but for ALL HTC Touch Screen Devices and if it can others too.
There is a feature on my phone and on many others that allows our phones to play a sound when the screen is taped. I thought of an idea of why not replace the sound with vibration?
There is already a CAB out there that changes the dial tone into a vibration feedback ( when you press the dial buttons ) but it doesnt do much for the rest of the applications or screen.
So far I have been working on this for a couple of days but havent had much time to put much effort into it.
I was hoping that some developers / hackers can help out the cause and help develope or create a feature that enables this on ALL HTC Touch Screen Devices.
If I do find a way to do this I'll post my findings here, but any help to make this a reality would be gladly appreciated.
I was just reading about this very thing HERE: http://www.immersion.com/vt/haptics-for-mobile.php
I was wondering if somebody was going to give it a try. Good luck with it, BOO
it has already been done, and someone posted it up on these forums a while ago, probably buried extremely deeply by now... i forgot the name but i just know it's out there and although it worked, i quickly worried about battery life/hardware issues, so i uninstalled. i'll try to find it for you

Thank you. I am hoping that we can get this done.
I mean we are constantly trying to make our touch screen devices finger friendly. We enlarge buttons, the creation of Touch FLO and the Cube, enlarging menus and so on.
My theory is why not combine all these I deas with Haptic feedback and make it even more finger friendly and try to limit the use of the stylus. If made possible this would be able to work on any HTC Touch screen device or any WM Touch screen device out there.
This would also help users that have a hard time inputing anything into their phone. For example, some one trying to make a text message through t9 or even less then that just pressing on the screen to access a short cut with out having to pound their touch screen until it inputs that they are trying to press. This would help with that because it will acknowledge the input that was made.
Just an Idea

yeah it was an application that ran in the background (maybe as a service, i don't remember), but every single tap created a vibrate feedback. argh i just looked around for it and i have no idea where to find it. it was in some thread, someone's reply had the app attached to it. something about how he knew someone who was working on it, and waited for that person's permission to post the app here on xda-dev. sigh.

Thanks this is a good find.
Ill see if i can make it available using another method. Because they reported that it worked on every other tap of the screen and that it runs the battery down faster too.
What I might try to do is have mine work but have the option to disable it ( like the way you do when you disable screen tap sounds) to save battery power.

True like u said, i've tried it 2, but it do not respond to every fingertouch, if u can figur a way for an app that will respond 2 every touch even the small ones (where u don'nt need 2 hold for a sek before it regonise and verb.).. that will be really great

So far I have planned some steps on ways to do it through the registry but it is not perfect. I am not an expert programmer but I can give it a shot, but it might take a while since I am not as great as the experts here in XDA.
But I'll do what I can. If I do find a solution I will post it here, but any help to make this project possible would be great.
I would be happy if my phone would just vibrate on keyboard input.
I am running this older vibro cab. Works very well however...
The vibration lasts aslong as your finger has contact on the screen. It would be better if it just gave a quick blip of vibro each touch maybe?
When you slide a cube etc it virbos the whole movement.

Do you happen to have the CAB with you? Maybe I can find a way to change the effect this program does when you press the screen and lower the vibration feed back.
If I can do that then I can maybe create some registry settings to make the same effect but just replacing the sound that is emulated when you tap the screen. That way you can disable it or enable it when you want it. ( In case you need to save battery or something )
The length of the vibration should be shorter, other than that it's a really good tool.
wow i must be stupid. i just posted a thread about this yesterday. anyway, it'd be cool if we could figure out a way to just incorporate it into the registry, probly wouldn't use as much battary and stuff then.
This has been done already on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354890&page=2. On the second page, Kpyto posted a download link for it. I haven't tested it yet though so I can't tell you how well it works.
hows this coming along?
I tried the VOA program mentioned above, but i don't really like it - it's simply annoying by vibrating all the time when scrolling trough lists, or attempting to bring up a tap-and-hold context menu. Not to mention additional battery drain caused by the motor running for such long periods of time.
For me, much better screen tap confirmation is a very short vibra pulse - i often use Vibrate(50) as a confirmation in my mortscripts. That's only 50 milliseconds, but it' enough to be clearly felt, and since the motor is powered only for such short time, it causes almost no additional battery drain. I'd really love to see an application creating such confirmation instead of the screen tap sound.
I'd just like it to have customizable vibration time - since the minimal time needed to make vibration even noticeable can probably vary from device to device, and play nice with fTouchFlo - since both capture touchscreen events there are probably possible conflicts.
Good luck with the development. I hope you'll be able to realize this great idea

Yeh totally, i will have a proper look into when I get time (hopefully this weekend).
Sounds like a plan, set of audio files and a configuration file with them. I'll get on it!
Interesting app you posted a link to, does it only work on smartphones then?

No screenshots for the moment as the old application was just a test, hacked together in a lunch break.
I am working on a much improved version, all is going well and I should release something this week or this weekend. Unfortunately my free time is lacking at the moment.
The new app will be completely configurable and provide the ability for user created content in the form of button and image themes... all will be explained when I release it.

Sorry for the late response, you probably know the answer by now ..
It runs but will only play sounds on the d-pad, other sounds were assigned to the keypad.
Touchscreen is so much better ! and the vga resolution deserves to be used to full effect.

Some thoughts ...
It would be really nice to use animated gifs as buttons, that appear to 'play' when activated.
Perhaps it could use the g-sensor a bit like the lightsaber toy - assigning your own sound to a 'shake'.
during a call, could you shake the phone to play a sound that the caller would hear ?
"... must go, there's somebody at the door." <SHAKE>
! DING DONG !
Hi,
Is it possible for someone to supply the Buzzer sound as a wav or MP3 File. My Girlfriend has been using my phone, found this damn program on it, and after several hours of messing with it, now wants the buzzer sound as her message alert tone.
Ive searched the internet where i can, and cant find it. If anyone has it or it can be extracted from the program, or be supplied by the creator, i would be very grateful!

Sure here are the sounds

Im making this thread in the hope that we can make a joint list and things can get crossed off-
edit: i will add anything that may be possible to be corrected by software fixes. whilst things like " you have to open the case to get the sd card/soft reset are very valid, there is nothing we can do im afraid!!!
Here are a list of the main things that really annoy me:
1) It takes ages to open up the SMS inbox/missed calls, sometimes a few seconds
2) there is a delay between someone calling you and your phone ringing
3) Videos are very jerky and not smooth unless i convert them and all that stuff which i shouldnt need to. i assume this is because we cant make use of the hardware acceleration?
4) no good games- emulators dont work.
5) Ring tone too weak
6) vibrate too weak
7) when im on the phone and i get someone else on call waiting, the party i am speaking to cant hear what im saying
8) The close / ok button on the top right are way too small.
9) no official flash support for youtube...
10) opera keeps on crashing
8) When using the keyboard, just a small nudge on top of the screen turns it into portrait mode, annoying when sending a text.
9) The close / ok button on the top right are way too small.
10) Have to open the case to remove the SD-card
11) Lack of updates, news, panels, etc. from Sony Ericsson... not a single screenshot, news or anything since release
12) Hidden softreset button
") no good games- emulators dont work."
with wvga fix i have gotten all games i used on my old himalaya to work just fine
with x1 but of cause if you dont cound wvga fix
"10) Have to open the case to remove the SD-card"
yeah thats a problem
"other general responsive and delay issues"
seem to be a general windows mobile issue
at least i had them with all wm devices i had
13) no official flash support for youtube...
I don't think the removal of the back is a 'problem' but surely a fraking INCONVENIENCE.
I agree with all those points so far and could certainly list even more but unless this will become a 'rant post', makes no sense for me to post this. But if one looks at all the posts in here and all those problems that are posted, one will find that there is very much that is wrong with this X1.

true, but ive experienced higher volume on different ROMs. so there probale is a way to change that

just use the "End Call" or OK button from your phone (lower right hard keys)

But ""developers" forum and complaint no "offical" youtube support" is actually right,
as well why SE oficially didn't install bloody FlashLite 3.1 on it (as well as HTC's have it).
I mean - it shouldn't be my job to instantly tweak an expensive smartphone, right?

I bet he was joking!
Nobody's perfect, no phone is perfect, but my SEX1 is the BEST OVERALL PHONE AROUND TO DATE
Please beware: MOST of your complaints are related to windows mobile and NOT the phone itself.
KEEP IN MIND: "windows" UI was designed 10 YEARS AGO for slow, low-mem PDAs with 320x240 screens. TEN YEARS later we are still using the same archaic obsolete UI (eg. white, simple background, tiny soft-keyboard, 2-options-on-each-tab menus for setting, no thumb-driven UI...). WM UI is a dinosaur and that's why HTC develped TouchFlo3D as a "mask" for windows´s ugliness and user-unfriendlyness, BUT the widespread windows platform lets many people develop apps, innovations, tweaks etc and that´s what this is all about
If I want to compaint, well, I can allways find something about any phone to complaint about...
Still want my 2 cents??
The lack of a REAL dedicated VOICE-REC button is killing me,
but that's only me, my usage, my world, my way...
Still remember the time when I was counting the day until SE release an "official upgrade" for their firmware for my P900 on their website. What a completely joke!
I'm not sure why you even bothered mentioning Nokia's support for their handsets, if you have a Win Mo device you are having access to the best support in the world.
Have a look around, upgrade your ROM because the stock ROM, be it your operator's or HTC's is crap, then you wouldn't have had the performance issues in the first place.
The X1 is easily the most stable device I ever had, and had owned quite a fair amount of XDAs in the past years, starting with O2 XDA
Has many of you noticed, the touchscreen is way too sensitive and while typing / using the device, the touchscreen does not react correctly / works alone.
I think i found a way to at least make it a little better.
Install the cab and reboot.
Please tell me what you think.
Thank you.

I am trying it now. The screen has been making me nuts. I have had mine for four days now. I read books using mobipocket and it will start changing pages by itself. It will also register random screen presses when using core player. And don't get me started on typing.....Hope this helps.

I do notice an immediate improvement. I will keep you posted, but the initial couple of tests feel way better. THANK YOU.
I should have thought of this before installing the cab, but do you have a backup of the registry key that it alters? (Just in case I want to back-out)

Cool. I'm not finding any difference, to be honest, but I was just about getting there with typing and have never had any phantom screen presses anyway, so probably not the best judge
Would you mind posting either a cab or reg file for backing out? Not planning on doing it, but would like the option.
Cheers mate.

It changes some values in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\Setting\TouchPanel
Ive been suffering nothing but grief from my touch screen, alot of phantom presses, if I just rest the phone in my palm and keep the screen untouched it goes crazy.
Just installed this a few hours ago, fantastic! Its probably too early to call it yet but this seems to have made a really big difference.
Thank you so much
Can I ask - does this REDUCE the screens *sensitivity* in any way, or does it actually refine it's *accuracy* somehow? (if so, do you know how?)
Cheers (I'm considering it.....I dont get phantom presses but typing IS a *****)
Another thumbs up here, seems much better. It's hard to know for sure if it's placebo/just getting better or not, but it's certainly no worse. It's also hard to describe what the change actually is, but the end result is that I get things right more consistently now.
Works fine here also, don't notice a difference in touch sensitiveness, but it seems more accurate, can't say how you did it, but I like it.
Could be a placebo effect ofcourse, then again, I still like it
I've tried it as well but i didn't notice any difference but i wasn't that unhappy with the screen sensitivity as well.
Phantoms
You could try a hard reset to see if it fixes your issue.

Amazing!!
Was just saying to a colleague if this was on an iPhone, its tough luck!!
However this has been fixed with a simple cab file installation. Dont miss my iPhone 3GS one little bit!!
