NEW! TodayButton - quick today toggle

Guys - another quick hack.
Still in beta subject to your reports.
All it does is shows the today screen for as long as you hold down the button it is assigned to.
So, install the cab; assign it to a hardware button in the control panel.
Press and hold that button and today screen should pop up (you'll see a little icon in the top left). Let go, and you should go back to where you were. Theory being, say you're in a call but want to look at your Today quickly. Pop in, pop out.
If you want to stay in the Today screen, just click on the little icon in the top left.

}
The cab will install two versions, normal and TodayButtonOFF.
TodayButtonOFF will cause the PocketPC to switch itself immediately off when you've finished looking at the today screen. This is so that you can assign a hardware key and use it to switch on the PPC, look at today screen, and immediately switch off when you're finished.
This version is still slightly flaky, but try it and see if it works.
Please report how it goes.
Do not launch it directly by stylus click in programs menu. If you do, it'll go to the Today screen but you'll lose your hardware buttons for 45 seconds, at which point it will reset the buttons. You can launch it by the action button as normal (hold it down).
I'm not sure how this works with program redefiners like buttonmax etc. Please report!

anyone tried this yet?

First of all, its a great tool!!!
The bad side -
I'm using AE Button plus. This enables, single-double-triple clicks for each button (rather its configurable). When I have this running in the background, it doesnt work...otherwise, it works great.
Besides, I dont think i can ever live without AEBP, as i've pretty much mapped everything to something or the other!!
Fix this, and i'm sure i'd be using it, its extremely handy!!!
Also, great work....i'm using the VJDialer and VJSms, and its an amazing little app!!!!
Best,
San

dreamtheater39 - thanks for the tip and feedback
I didn't think it would work with AE Button - I used to use it but have stopped using it recently (I might be writing my own version :wink
I think this tool is useful, but I think most of us use something like ButtonMax or AEButton, so it's a shame it doesn't work right now - I'll work on it!
Have you tried the poweroff version? That's quite a useful tool - use it to switch on the PPC, look at Today, and switch off again.
V

I did try the TodayToggleOFF as well...
Its very useful especially when on a phone conversation to check my calendar!!
I managed to get it working fine now....here's what i do...
I've disabled manipulation of my camera button by AEBP. I dont have multiple clicks for the camera button, but i have ToggleToday assigned which I find really realllyyy useful!!!
Thanks again!!
San

Good idea - didn't think of that!
I think this is a tool that I will actually use - I'm doing a few hacks to make the today screen more useful, so having quick and easy access to it helps I think.
V

Vijay, this app sounds like a great idea. I always go back to my today screen on a call.
I'll give it a whirl and let you know.

Is this program still available?
It sound promising
I would also like to give it a try...

Xadaa: I've updated my webpage with this app.
Sorry for the slow updates, I've got no XDA devs access at work Nightmare!
V

I've got this mapped to the camera button on my wizard, and i love this little app. It's been working without any problems for about two weeks now.
Thanks a lot for this program

My single problem is thatMy pjone doest turn on when I press the hard button I have assigned to TodayButtonOFF. It goes off when I release it and works great while i am pressing it.
Great software

Thanks. I have it assigned to my PTT button on my Tilt. Works great!!
Heres the cab again if anyone wants to try it.

Bad phone dial performances

Hi, this is my first post here, so greetings to all.
Two days ago I've received my p3600, and I'm in general happy with all its features, but phone dial.
First, I feel that dialling is very slow. Using normal sound configuration, I notice a remarcable delay between my finger pulsation and the numeric button response. Curiosly, this delay is shorter when I change the dial pad sound configuration to "no sound", but this isn't a true solution, because I prefer to feel clearly that some button is pressed.
Someone knows how to improve this ?
Second, the dial buttons size is too small, at least for me. I want use the phone without the stylus, but using the finger, I must dial very carefully, so the dialling experience is frustrating.
I've took a look at some dial themes, but I'm no sure about if using a theme with bigger buttons can solve this, because I think that the tap area for each button is established by the software itslef, and using oversized buttons has no consecuence.
Any ideas on this ?
Thanks in advance.

1. have you turned off the smart dial feature? That slows the phone down considerably. If you have done that already... I think that's about as fast as it gets. Yeah I wish they would make dialing faster.. Too bad they couldn't make quick like the wm5 smartphone devices.
Thanks for the tip about no sound speedup.. going to try that for awhile.
2. Eten Dialer Skin.. big buttons.. yes the tap area is bigger.

another thing to check
go the the phone screen,
select menu - options - and try to set the keypad to Off.
That's the 1st thing I do when I get a new phone

Just I've installed Eten dialer. Very good suggestion.
I've missed the video call, but really I prefer this stuff..
Thanks to all.

Cannot find any video dialer skins on that page (?)

Hi !
+1 for basiling's skins
try iPhone dialer (http://wm5dialpad.googlepages.com/iphone) : NICE !, larger buttons, video calls ...
with key sounds disabled, it's almost perfect IMO.

Htc touch hd new way of answering calls

For the 70% of our readership who still care about this device, we have a small tidbit of news. In line with its new full-screen button-minimalist design, the HTC Touch HD eschews the usual phone answer and end call buttons (though vestigial versions still exist on the device) for a new on screen phone call answering system using two adjacent sliders.
The system is similar to the iPhone, but goes one further. To answer a phone call you slide to the left, to ignore it one simply slides to the right. The interface will be present on HTC’s other new Touch series devices too, like the HTC Touch Viva for example.

assuming you have a qvga device, it's been done for ages now. download opalcanvas dialer. i'm using kidnamedalbert's carbon skin for it

Do you have a link for the OpalCanvas dialer? I have searched the forums and I am unable to find one...

hum I tought this was already in the diamond and pro because the first version I used was a mixture of the opal images and the pro regs.

I feel this design is ergonomically incorrect for 90% of people. I am right handed, i usually pick up the phone with my right hand and thus would be easier for me to slide my thumb to the right to answer, left to ignore since i ignore very few calls. (See the slide to answer feature of S2U2) no?

Granted, but I'm forced to agree that it's erognomically incorrect. This isnt a button. Different interface, different expectations of how to interact with it.

Is if possible to make a qwerty as this for our Diamond?
I tried a qwerty for touch Cruise,but the resolution is incompatible....
The qwerty is very small (as single key of Diamond qwerty)

This QWERTY comes as factory on my Diamond...
I have the official HTC 1.93 ROM
When you are on the screen where you want to type, tap the arrow next to the keyboard icon then tap 'Phone Keypad'

Yes, the 'Phone Keypad' layout of the Input options is same as this.

no the key is more small,because there are option key in the right of phone pad.
In the crouse phone pad the option key are in the bottom,and the key is more big!
Look the picture!

and wh you call this qwerty? Its exactly not a qwerty-input method...

Hmm... mine is white, not black like this... how come?
Have 1.93 rom, norwegian.

uhm that's a keyboard, and it's definately not in the qwerty latout :S

TouchPal is hard to beat in my opinion: http://www.cootek.com/

if the keys in the right were in the bottom the remaining keys were more large!

Of course I know what QWERTY means. I also know how to use forums and read the original post...
If you did, you'd notice he wants a 3 button phone pad like the image in my first post but with the buttons stretching all the way to the right of the screen, so no more T9 button, no backspace, no next line and no options.
Wow.

First of all, I don't think the comment about QWERTY was adressed to you.
Second, if you look closely at the piture in post #1 and read the comment in post #9 carefully, you will notice that the threadstarter doesn't want the extra keys mentioned left out, but placed at the bottom row.
Third, I think this forum suffers from a too heavy amount of postings like yours and mine. In the future lets keep it constructive and friendly.

I think this thread is stupid (not necesserily the people involved) and should be locked. I don't see anything constructive coming out of it.
As for the original poster, search and somewhere in the wonderful world of WM, you may find what you need.

I think if you get 'crazy by anger' because your phone has a slightly different keypad layout from another phone then it's probably time to get yourself some anger management classes there as that's really not the kind of thing normal people get so het up about.

Wow that's great, thanks!
It doesn't fill the whole screen on WVGA, however. Can you fix this?
Two suggestions:
1) You could place the chords at the top like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n23WEqqrP0I AND/OR
2) You could place the frets under the strings so that we can directly play the right notes.
Suggestion 1) would be especcially useful for the Touch HD, which has only two hardware buttons but a a lot of free space on the screen for the chords. I'd also be happy to donate/pay for your app if you could make that possible.
Again, thanks for developing that great app for WM!

On Touch HD, exactely as your piano app, it doesn't fill the screen, but this is not the worst problem: the app stays in foreground and there's no way to shut it down if not a soft reset. It looks good, but i had to uninstall both of them because of this

Omniano......Now this..........Thank You for the guitar. Just what I was looking for. Keep up the great work

thank you motha RUSSIA kool app to show off to our rivals the iskumm

ther is a X button top left corner check it out carefully

Installed to storage card and tested quickly and it is fun - One bug though - Don't let S2U2 initialize while guitar running as you won't be able to unlock device - mine did and I tried to slide to unlock and all it did was play guitar strings, couldn't unlock - Didn't soft reset to get it out - not sure how but somehow through a combination of buttons I was able shut screen off and on again and get start somehow as S2U2 flashed on and off - hit it quick and got it to home screen. I wasn't worried - soft reset wouldn't have been that big of a pain. Anyway - remember to disable S2U2 to avoid the hassle. Testing further as this is fun

Thank You So Much This Amazing !!!!!

lol when i first use this app on my PPC last night. I wanted to try stairways to heaven. lol it works the sound everything good.. Im Supporting This App all the way.!! thanks

processor Qualcomm MSM7200 is too slow for high-response apps.

Don't work for me
It don't play any sound, 'x' and 'reset'-button don't work, and pressing the same hardware-button a second time to set a chord isn't possible. Maybe it's my device.
I tried to use it on my LG KS20 (WM6.0).

Ahhh.... okay.... the answer is in the post before.... I've got this MSM7200 processor..... thanks anyway
