I'm wondering if anyone's interested in writing an app that will assist with placing the cursor on editable text.
Often when writing an SMS or renaming a file etc, you might want to go back and edit, and it can be pretty hard to accurately place the cursor with your thumb.
I've seen the iPhone has a little magnifying glass that makes fine-tuning where you place the cursor much easier when you click and drag.
I don't have the skills to write something like this, but I'd love it if someone did.
Cheers guys.
I second that
uhm .. i use the stylus ? typing with block recognizer is fun
good idea.
dont forget you can also use the DPad to move the cursor around, i usually use this instead of jabbing at the screen with my thumb.
UP
This sounds like a great idea, the little magnifying glass.
This is also a thing what I'm searching for. I've illustrated something like that to show how I would like to see it:
Some programers here ;-)

i would also like to see something like this as it's very useful

Looks nice!
A better and easier solution, moving around with the dpad touch, I don't know how is called the capacitive buttom that is a circle, rolling here would be very kind. (I am learning english, help me with the language xD)

Yeah great example. I'm happy enough to help out with any design work that would need doing with the app. I'm a designer, but I'm just not much of a coder.

Here's the flash menu ported from Samsung i718, Its very cool & working nice on my touch.
tHANKS!! I've got a couple of friends with i718's and always thought the menu was slick. Great job and thanks again!
very nice, well done working great on my hermes
So we must have flash player installed on our device prior using this application?
nope no flash player. it seems to be an actual app
Is that how you spell "Organiser"?
Also, is there a way to edit the programs targets in the registry or something?

i dono yet. found this over at Ipmart yesterday though. I tossed it on my touch and my brothers mogul and its sweet. Even my mom was able to navigate WM6 once we showed her this. I'm sure someone will find out how to edit it real soon. Possible skins anyone???
Nice find!
i find that the i718 or something like that, looks really a lot like the shadow,
maybe tmobile copied it
o, and by the way, nice find, but the launcher doesnt look like like the ones ive seen one the phone
I've read a few sites on this phone now and the opinion varies a bit. One place I found that was good for expert reviews and real life opinion on the Samsung SGH I718 even had a few photos and the like which i found helpful. Hope that helps others that landed here doing their own research:->
This is HEX-edit job not a regeistry job.
windows\launcher.exe can be HEX editet for customizing.

Some link in this interface haven't a workings properly, How I can solve this problem?
love this app, just wish i could customize it, or even just get rid of the dead links. would love just to have the messaging and favorites pages.
Yeah.. I'd really like to add my own menus to this.
i love the keyboard but i was wondering if there is anything out there that is as intelligent as the iphone keyboard. For instance, the software, over time, recognizes the general area of where your thumb presses a key and adjusts so you always hit the key. anyone know what i am talking about?
well anyone know of any keyboard that does that or if the new pocketcm will have it?
i can search online,or you can come www.fine-nike.com to find,there are have many products,as like shoes,clothes,and so one
From David Pogue:
"* Although you don’t see it with your eyes, the sizes of the keys on the iPhone keyboard are changing all the time. That is, the software enlarges the “landing area” of certain keys, based on probability.
For example, supposed you type “tim.” Now, the iPhone knows that no word in the language begins timw or timr—and so, invisibly, it enlarges the “landing area” of the E key, which greatly diminishes your chances of making a typo on that last letter. Very cool."
That is what i mean.

does anyone here speak proper english ?

anyway, as said above ^^^, touchpal has mistyping correction built-in. i personally dont care much for that keyboard.
but something GREAT that i didnt even know about is...the standard htc touch keyboard kind of has it!!
you can try typing "timw" and get time! just make sure and go into the input settings, and check all boxes. do not, however, check "multi-tap correction". this i think does help improve typing prediction a little, but it prevents the keyboard from searching your contacts in "to:" fields.
hope this helps!
Because i never find a countdown skinnable and powerfull, I was thinking of one that can do the standard job (Counting down ) with thumb friendlyness like the time settings for an appointement in thumbcal and where you can use a database of countdown like for cooking (eggs meats ....) or meditation timing (where you can choose an easy listening mp3 to came back to "real"). It will do parallell counting like my meat and my meditation.
I'm shamed because i think it's a long but easy job for a part of you but i can't do it myself, i've spent to much time learning to help others but not in a programming way.
I haven't find that for weeks on google so perhaps it doesn't exist.
Thanks for reading (perhaps answering).
PS: reminder: _skinnable
_thumbfriendly
_multitask
_database that anyone can enhance
_and why not easy to use (configurator for .ini or stff like that)
Some kind of timer?
But why skinnable? The most important thing is functionality. Or do you just want to watch at it?
skinnable
Because i've noticed that when an app can be "design" by users it is more attractive, it can enhance the theme/skin your using but you're right first it must be functional and exhaustive. And like most of people here i like to change apps looking to my way.
ps: pocketscreen is great that's the one i'm using.

Perhaps your the one that could help me, that could be a great learning for me to try to make this app. I've got friend that dev on java and c++ but for other platform and they are not interested in ppc, do you think that mortscript (that seems "easy") could be a way to do this stuff from nothing ?
Hi guys, hopefully this'll be a simple one. Like the TF3D calendar app, I'd like to see this one with a TF3D tab. It's just a notepad, really. I'm not bothered about loading/saving different note files, would just like a note to appear on the page, editable of course. It would be up to the user how to use it, but for me, it would just be for reminders, or to-dos.
I'd like to see what peoples' thoughts are on this one, and look forward to seeing what happens
Thanks!
I second that!! I think it would be great to just write something quick and sto store it in the TF Notepad tab. that should be great!
I'd be interested to see what ideas others have for this.
I was also thinking about text entry... maybe it wouldn't be done through TF3D, but more like how text messages are written - a button leading to the note editor, and all the TF3D app does is reference a note file for display or something.
Or more, like Notepad/Paint..
could be quite nice to have a paint-program in TF3D
Maybe something like this!?
Use the stylus to write something directly in a TF3D Tab!!
It's a fake!.. so no comments like 'Please, Please can u make it for me!?' or 'Where can I download it?!
Like that indeed
Put a TFLO3d border around it and a tflo3d scrollthingie and off you go.
Just slik.

I'd also like to see plain text entry, as my handwriting is appalling, doubly so on the Diamond
Well, text-based notepad is planned for my new iPhone-like UI (and then for standard manila). But no handwriting possible - manila don't have any drawing API.
this software allows you to write within any other program running, you do not have to be "in" TF3D.
the problem is, that when using stylus - insead of being able to write - you scroll.
http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=calcnote.html
any ideas?
you should desactivate scrolling in touchflo maybe with some registry key like i do on my trinity with the adapted touchflo (touch scrolling features and cube in trinity). But scrolling will be desactivated for all others app...
perhaps on top of the notepad.. could includes note browser to choose archive notes or start new notes.. and better off have page navigation..

this was a feature available in TF in trinity etc. you cannot edit TF on diamond.
however- the builtin notepad works fine with scrolling - other software does not work as well: calcnote, and Phatpad - same issue.
ideas?
Like I said before, I think something that worked similar to how you write text messages, where it displays the messages in TF3D, but editing takes place in the standard text messaging app. So, for this idea, you'd see the notes in TF3D, but editing them would be done in the notes app or something. That's not inconsistent with the way other TF3D apps work, and it gets around the scrolling problem. You could probably flick through notes like you would a text message.

now, happy developing once you get fed up with all those ppl pm'ing you and asking for the cab
but, seriously, if anybody really gets down to it and makes a tab for taking quick notes, i bet many ppl will be grateful (including me)

Not sure exaclty what your looking for but I use an app called "The Pad" from www.visualit.co.uk installed and remapped my right soft key to open the pad. Really useful for scribbling notes, telephone numbers etc on the fly.

Finished my mPhone Panel today.
The idea was to make some sort of iPhone clone, but with in mind that it should be exactly how I would want to see a panel. So here's what I came up with. mPhone v1.3:
The mPhone (my name starts with a M and the (Warhol) banana is of course a spoof of the Apple icon ) features all the programs I use the most and I guess that goes for a lot of other Xperia users. The words below are in Dutch, but I can change that if there is enough enthousiasm to use this panel. I can also change some things if you guys give me some suggestions.
What doesn't work yet with mPhone Panel?
Well, for starters the panel can only be viewed in Portrait mode. If you go Landscape mode half of the icons will be gone.
Also, some shortcuts don't work yet. Perhaps someone can help me with that.
I need the pseudo-handlers to G-Alarm, moBlog and iContact (on the memorycard) and MSN chat, Notes and calculator (on the phone).
I'm curious what you think of it. When I fix the shortcus/pseudo-handlers I'll upload the .cab file here.
That looks good! nice one, good luck with the fixes
Wow a new panel for X1. I'll give it a try when it's done. When can you upload it?
I've never really been a fan of the iPhone main screen but this is the best pseudo clone I've seen yet. I'd be interested in trying it out for sure.
looks awsome gonna try that one for sure.
and its dutch awesome
Great looking panel..
Maybe I have given up on panels a little too early
nice work there...
Will you post it here when it is done? Looks good
looks great
Thanks for the kind words. Makes me even more driven to fix all the errors.
When I'll place the .cab file here, I'll leave out some typical Dutch icons, like the NOS (Dutch news provider) and the 'Uitzending Gemist' app (for Dutch TV programs).
You can always add your own icons once installed. The map is located at \Program Files\Panels\mPhone.
For now I'll keep building and finetuning. Please keep suggestions and ideas coming. I can add those to the panel.
it looks amazing
i cant wait
well done
why not posting an international and a dutch version? There are many dutchies here who like to have NOS and Uitzending gemist!
Keep up the good work. Goed bezig!
Why are all so want? What's good for the similarity with the iPhone?
Where is the individuality?
i agree with yellowjaap since i too am from the netherlands! Those icons could come in really handy

the individuality is having the xperia.
having this panel just lets iphone users know that our phone can do the same things as your phone(besides all the apps) and more.
nice work man!
keep it up...

Yes, maybe
I think having the choose makes the individuality. We as Xperia users can decide what kind of control we have. One day its iPhone, the next SPB, then touchflow or just the standard SE panels.
And best of all, we can make all iPhone users jealouse because we can do the same as them, and so much more haha!
BTW, Have you looked into iFonz while making your work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369241
Can we add our own programs?
Hi there,
looks nice!
and I agree that a dutch version is very welcome!
