Show carret zoom bubble like IPhone - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

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

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:

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"...

Text input program?

Greetings all!
I'm a new Wing user and I've come from using a Sidekick for several years.
The Sidekick had certain features on it that I dearly miss, and was wondering if there are programs that can help do the same functions that the Sidekick had.
It used to have an auto text feature where I could input text and when I'd type certain keys or letters it would autocomplete a phrase or text that I had assigned to that set of certain keys or letters.
Are there any other programs like that out there for pocket pc phones??
It's already built into the phone. Just try to type something and you'll see what I mean.
No...I meant, can I set it up that I can ADD words and phrases to its' already installed word database??
That's what I'm looking for.
It learns EVERY word that I write, whether spanish or english, whether spelled correctly, in short hard or mispelled... so yes, I think it does by default. Unless I'm just crazy...
I could be wrong, but im thinking hes askin if there is a way to store a set phrase like "I love you" or "are you coming over tonight". I know the text input is really good and auto memorizing words input, and I never really used the preset msg option on my old phones. Again I could be wrong, and I dont use or know of any program preinstalled or cab file.

I've seen other programs out there that allow you to tap into the database on ur phone, and im sure I have one somewhere on my pc, but I forgot where...

New Icon Set

Is there any kind of interest in icons like these? If so I'll go ahead and make them...
Thanks!

....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"

Large Text Scroller

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

new ListItem

Hey,
Ive written a Listcontrol with Scroll support. It supports scrolling, activating
and dragging ( wait short when touch the Display, then you can drag ).
This Zip contains two files, grid view and list view.
It would be nice if you can test it, and give me a feedback. For testing it is also a little ApplicationLauncher, which should work for english ROMs.
It requires .net compact 2.0
greets doena
The control itself seems to work fine on my T-Mobile Wing, although the font in the grid is way too small and the grid's scrolling seems smoother than the list's. The list is kind of slow.
Also when clicking on the task (outlook) application in the start menu (both list and grid), it crashes:
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfor startInfo). It's part of my recent programs list, so I don't know if that could be the reason?
Do you plan to release the control?
Working ok on my prophet grid icons and text to small list just plain white grid runs better and managed to start screen shot

Hey,
thanks for your answers, its nice to show you're interested.
I have just changed the ListView, so it scroll like the Grid one, and shows Icons.
With the icons and App Launch Exception I have to look, what could be done, but I will find a reason ;-)
Sorry for second Post,
I have now changed the Font size in Grid view,
you ll find it in Atachment
greets doena
PS: please dont use the minimize button, it doesnt work well
