Large Text Scroller - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

This isn't anything revolutionary or remotely useful. But,... I haven't seen anything like it and I figured I'd share it. You never know when you might want to use it. I made it in flash and you type in your text, up to 15 characters then hit the button and there ya go. Scrolling. Large. Just copy the .exe to your device/card and run. It works good on Omap devices but better on 400mhz+ devices. I currently don't have a SmartPhone so if anyone could try it on smartphone and let me know if it works that would be great. I'm not sure if you can get into the text box without tapping it.

Not sure exactly what this is supposed to do? You're scrolling to search and find text you've just typed in or what? Can you attach some screenshots please?

You type in text then hit the button and that text will scroll across the whole screen infinitely. Borderline postworthy but I thought it might have it's uses and as I said I've never seen anything do that before. You don't see the screenshots?

You will not believe this, but I was just thinking about a software like this this morning. Back in my old Palm OS days, I had a marquee-style scrolling app that I would use to display a message from across the room. I was just wondering this morning if anyone had made such a thing for pocket pcs. Thanks. With text messaging, I may not have as much use for it now, but I will find a way to use it.

It works as promised, dunno what exactly I'll do with it, but I like it.
A few requests;
1) More characters
2) Landscape mode (wider viewing area)
3) Colors?
Thanks for the app

What is the GUI Skining application you are using that "!STILL!" shows the phone signal icon. Most GUI Skinning apps cover this info up! Please let me know I can't wait, so excited! :shock:

The picture is not a screen capture of hops's XDA but taken from oabsoftware. And you are right, I didn't notice this. We have to ask them what were they using when they took this picture.
yes please do! I see sometime people doctoring the display to make their product look nice but, it really gets a lot of people excited about something that does not exist I have seached long and hard and nothing seems to be able to do it without cover the signal bars :evil: so I thought it might be pocket blinds a new version but they still have the old one out from years ago no update, and it doesn't work. So needless to say my hopes are high here. So keep us posted I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting this 8)

Bringing the taskbar to the bottom of the screen

Hello Everyone, I hope you all are fine.
I saw a photo of an imate jam (the one I have) who's taskbar was on the bottom of the screen. Here is the photo:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
May be its just me, but I cannot find any way of bringing it down. I want my phone to look more like real windows and the taskbar on the top doesn't look very good. Also, as you can see in the picture, the address bar of the PIE is also on the top, just like the real IE. Somehow everything in the above phone is setup to look more like real windows. It would be so great if I somebody could suggest a way to do this.
Is this possible? Of course its possible when someone has already done that. But the question is 'how.'
I expected a better response here on XDA-Developers. I posted the same question in another forum but people there didn't seem to be too intelligent. But I'm surprised that even among people who are programmers, I can't see something that could be encouraging.
If you're a programmer reading my post, you could perhaps take a hint about this from Pocket Notepad. When I run this program on WM5 (on HTC Wizard) it does the same effect: Brings the taskbar to the bottom, exactly as I am wanting. It looks very beautiful. But as soon as I close or minimize pocket notepad, everything goes back to its normal position.
actually i wanted to see how to do that too, because to me the bar on the bottom just seems more "normal"...

....They're alright.
The lines seem a little fuzzy.
I don't really like the upside down effect either. It makes a simple icon seem like half a paragraph.
You have a good idea, you just need to work on it.
i agree, if you put the text central and get rid of the "upside down" text I think they'd be great
Exactly. Icons are supposed to represent a program or a function.
Google can do this with a simple 'G'.
Yahoo with a 'Y'.
Be as short as possible, while still enabling any user to understand what it means.

Wow! Took the words right out of my mouth !
+1 on raising the text, and giving the glass/reflection effect below.
Also, maybe a faded image behing the text, of the app, so for Opera, have the "O" behind text "browse the web"

Show carret zoom bubble like IPhone

Hi,
Is there any app to show a zoom balloon whenever sliding over a text field to show us where the curret is, and allow us to move it correctly.
Just like the IPhone has it in its text editor????
Vito zoomboard is good for you but not free

I do not want it on the keyboard.
I want it on the text field so that it shows the CARET.
I'm confused.
You've called it carret, caret, and curret so far, and i don't know what any of them are.

A cursor, for the text. the " I " that's my french translation...
A finger friendly way to place the text cursor when writing a message.
I just use the hardware keypad.
You may want to change thread title. To something like: "[REQ]Finger friendly text cursor" - Might be a bit easier to understand.
All confusion aside, it's a good question. I wish something like this existed.
i have motorola defy, which has the same fitur like you told. but i just upgrade to MIUI rom, and the fitur wast lost.
i've been searching for so long to find the app, but couldnt find it.
Hello all! Is there ability to get an iOS-like text selection, positioning cursor and zoom balloon on a new Android devices? Maybe it's possible with a custom keyboard apps for Android?
I don't care so much about zoom balloon. But standard positioning of cursor in Android is so annoying on small screens

Digitizer Drawing Test

Has anyone thought to download the drawing program from motolabs and check to see how well the X10s screen performs? They did a test on the Nexus, Droid, iPhone and others and it was published a few weeks ago. If those that have the phone could try this, I would be interested to see the results.
have you got a link or do you know what it is called on the market? just checked for digitizer and motolabs but couldnt find anything..

I don't think there is an app, they just used whatever note taking app was available for each OS as far as I understand it.
http://labs.moto.com/robot_touchscreen_analysis/
Thats the link to the test page. The drawing apps used are listed and SimplyDraw was used for the Nexus and iPhone. I would try that app and see what kind of results you get.
@awtryau89 cheers for the web address!
doing the test as they did, but with an app called Draw(er), this is what i got...

the screen seems to perform better when the lines went diagonally down from the right, than diagonally down from the left. also, the far left and right hand sides of the screen don't seem to pick up any input for the last few mms - the left side being the worst.
if anyone else cares to try and see if they get better results, please post it, as it would be nice to see this verified on another x10.
