(25 November 2008) Haptic Feedback 0.3.1 - LG KS20 support (hopefully)!

There are probably similar apps around, but I got bored and made my own!
Currently, there are no options. It's on, or it's off!
Download the cab from here, install it, and then run "Haptic Feedback" from the programs menu.
By default, it installs a shortcut to launch at startup, but if you don't like that, delete "\Windows\Startup\HapticFeedback.Startup.lnk".
If Haptic Feedback is already running, starting the link again will cause it to exit.
Notes:
No external frameworks are required - pure C++
Supports MoDaCo AppToDate
Coming whenever I have enough time to implement it:
Settings - lots!
A settings application
Some features I haven't yet thought about... Suggestions anyone?
Support for keyboard response
I can't be held responsible for any damage or loss caused directly or indirectly via use of this program, etc etc...
Change Log:
0.3.1 LG KS20 Support!
The "CustomLED" option allows for different LEDs to be set as the vibrate (default is 1. KS20 users should set it to 3)
0.3 Sound playback!
VibrateEnabled - enable vibration (1 is yes, 0 is no)
SoundEnabled - enable sound (1 is yes, 0 is no)
Sound - the full path to the sound file (only used if SoundEnabled = 1)
0.2 Settings! Stored under HKCU\Software\l3v5y\Haptic Feedback
HoldVibrate - keep vibration on until the screen is no longer down
HighTime - the time (in milliseconds) the vibration should be sustained
LowTime - the time (in milliseconds) the vibration should be held low
PollingInterval - the time (in milliseconds) between polls of the mouse state
0.1 Initial release
No point in a screenshot, as there is no form!
DISTRIBUTION OF THIS IN ANY FORM MAY RESULT IN VIOLENT DEATH CAUSED BY nir36, OR MYSELF - DON'T DO IT!

Feature Request
I know Heptic feedback is primarily designed to be vibrate response function but my suggestion is, Allow user setting to select both when Heptic feedback or audible feedback on or off for example only if SIP keyboard is enabled or in a specific program.
I really don't like the screen tap sound when used in general for all screen taps under winmo general settings but I would like the ability to have screen taps sound or vibrate feedback or both when I use my keyboard. So the ability to assign sounds or vibration independently of each other would be nice.

Why do you think I made it?
It only consumes as much power as getting called constantly, and it's great for annoying people trying to use my phone...

thanks for sharing its cool.

I'll see if I can work out how to do that! It seems a nice idea.
Thanks!

Meh...
I wrote it mainly because I find it useful, and partly to test if I can get input from the device - I'm planning on creating a keyboard hook to launch my Dialer when the "call" button is pressed.

ooo! you should also share this with supbro for his iDialer..
that would be magnificant!
i'm off to sleep, 2000 hours of studying tomorrow.

As of yet, no. Currently, the vibration motor is being controlled in the same way as LEDs, so it's either on or off... I'll look into an alternate method though.

It won't work on my LG-KS20 too. Just like the other pgm - Vibration Feedback.

this is nice little app
thanks for sharing

if u can find some way to make this just work when the on screen keyboard is up that would be awesome

what device u running
i have a htc touch pro

but i just wish it was a less of a vibration. too loud for me.
imagine in class just hearing loud ass vibrations while im texting?

that teaches you to stop texting while you're in class

I think there is a way. Vibrations in Tweeter are very light, compared to the ones when there is a call or an alarm.

Excellent App, i will watch this development closely as its something id love. For the moment it feels like my Polaris is going to explode when i scroll Sometimes it also misses its "que"
But great work, very impressed.

[App Needed] Gesture Control

As seen on Sony Ericsson W380 Gesture control
"Another novel feature of the W380 is its gesture control. Switch this feature on and you will be able to silence incoming calls or snooze alarm clocks by simply passing the palm of your hand above the sensor"
Well maybe this is a long shot but anyone has any idea if a program like that exists on WinMo?

Well as far as I see Sony made this Feature with help of a proximity-sensor and the only Phone/PDA I know which has one is the TouchPro 2
But there are a lot of Apps which let you silence Calls (built-in in most htc devices) and let you snooze alarm clocks by shaking or turning the Phones, also they let you unlock your Device and soooo much more funny things =)
give it a shot

yeah, but without touching the device? i guess if there is an app that enables camera when phone rings this thing can be done

Well you're free to try but i don't think you're chances of success are high
good luck

you can execute camera app with mortscript on the incoming call i think.

i think the i900 has proximity sensor......

sorry it doesnt.......

i8000 Omnia2 has it!

yup thats right..........

does it have it as a device you mean or does it work as an application?

...
think best/easiest way on HD wouldbe light sensor on top.
So on incoming call it should check if there is a short light-interruption.
Prob:
just works if phone shows face up on your desk
And won't work if room is dark (perhaps could work other way round - if it's too dark - check for short light notice, reflected by your hand from display)
otherwise is would be to hard and battery intensive cause you have to check both cameras (back and front) for changes.
I know silencing without touching it sound interesting but its a bit too playful for me.
Cause pressing vol down button is fastes way to silence.
Another way already included in some progs is turning phone face down to silence - think it's as stylish as waving to your phone.

FTouchSL has some screen based user definable gesture controls and is an extremely useful app, but no proximity controls.

so g-sensor can be used also. i think it's used by g-alarm on snooze, anyone seen it for silence also?

S2U2 problems on Omnia 2, Not everything works properly

Hi there! I have a problem with S2U2 on my I8000 Omnia 2. I installed it, and tried it. It's a cool program, but the call screen is not working to me.
----------
I also have new problems with S2U2. smile.gif I don't care about the sliders anymore, I was turned all off. But when my phone rings, and I press the answer button, the phones keep ringing and not do anything. I can't accept calls with S2U2. Is this a known issue or someone have an idea how to fix this? Or I should use an other app like S2U2?
----------------------
This messages copying modoco.

Try the latest S2U2 Release v2.30, works like a charm on my Omnia2.
Make sure to select RawBuffer as Graphics Mode. (Setting is located at Advanced S2U2 Settings page)

S2U2 was a real pain in the ^ss up until v2.30.
I haven't had any locking issues with the new version, but some serious battery drain have been spotted. I don't mind, since I have chargers at the car, the office and any other place I need it.
It takes like 13% percent of battery overnight when the phone sleeps.
Without S2U2 I can navigate with GPS for an hour for around 10%.

i am facing one serious problem when using S2U2.
original Samsung Omnia2 alarm does not work properly under S2U2.
sometime alarm ring properly. but sometime, only a very short "beep" then it stopped.
this happened especially during alarm in Snooze.
anyone know how to tackle this problem?
thank you in advance

I am using WM6.1 and problem with s2u2 (LATEST) is that while it locks the screen nicely, it leaves the ans/end hard key exposed. This creates problem when I accidentally press them while taking phone out of the pouch. For that I had to have other arrengements as mentioned in this forum. If you had no such issues, then your OS must be of a different version. I hate machine specific softwares.

Not true
Out of all HTC snobs here at XDA, A_C is the one who really cares. V2.22 was blazinly fast updated to V2.24 because of dimming issue on ... thats correct - Samsung Omnia II devices. So talking about device-specific software about S2U2 is so wrong and unfair.

I am facing a different problem with S2U2..
When I am listening to music through Touch Player, the song gets paused as soon as S2U2 activates, then I have to press the lock key and then the song plays again
When S2U2 is not running it plays the song flawless..
Any settings I need to change..?

But at the end of the day, it is not locking the ans/end lock keys which is a problem
Ps: I hv never owned an HTC

No need to use S2U2 now, I am using TouchLockPro, much much better, no more secondary gesture when power on, also the app is fully utilizing the G-sensor and the light sensor.

I had the same problem that was very annoying and some of the above too...The main reason I wanted s2u2 was because I didn't want the hardware key button answer call to be enable.Sometimes I was answering calls without knowing it because it was in my bag and with all the stuff in it the button was pushed by itself...From what i see samsung herself has slides for accept or end calls, why the hardware key buttons have to work too?Do you know any trick to disable them when the phone is locked...
Thanks i n advance!

I have the same problem with my Omnia.
Using latest S2U2 (2.43) and setting an alarm with the standard Samsung app.
I have tried most probably all combinations of s2u2 and alarm settings, without any luck.
Anyone ever found a solution for this ?

Can "World Clock" be disabled ?

Hello all.
I have a TD2 with The original HTC WM 6.5 ROM.
I love it, but one thing annoys me:
The world clock that pops up when pressing the watch.
It gets in the way everytime the phone ring, and i grab for it in my pocket.
I have googled it, and searched this forum, and all i have been able to find was a cooked ROM that has it disabled, but also had othér changes i don't want.
Is there a kind soul inhere hwo knows a simpler way to disable this "world Clock" feature? (and is willing to share the secret with me )
Thank you in advance Humpeligimp

What World Clock?
I'm assuming you mean when you tap on the clock on the home screen, unless you installed something - SPB Time, or something else with a screensaver - which gives you a world clock?
I hate to suggest the obvious, but if you don't put the lock on when the phone is in your pocket there is potential for bigger problems than the Clock settings to be displayed - a feature, rather than a bug.
My suggestion would be to engage lock before pocketing phone - last time I forgot I made a long silent call, so I soon learned!

Yes that world clock.
I am sorry if it could be misunderstood.
The ringing phone in the pocket was just an example. (Of course i lock my screen)
What i realy ment was can it be disabled ?
To stop it from stealing focus when i accidentially taps the time.
I find it annoying, and i have no need know the time in some other country,
just from the front of my phone.

I like to link my clock so that when i press it, it launches second today. I do this using ssmaho 0.0.4.0. I suppose you could link it to take you to the home screen (ie. do nothing)!

Thank you. I'll check ssmaho and see.

Disable the flip clock first animation

Hey guys,
I was wondering if its possible to disable the first animation from the flip clock? i dont like it and it always confuzes me how late (early) it is.
So if anyone knows how to disable it.. it was really easy on my hd2, just install a .cab file.
Thanks

+1 for me on this one.
It really is annoying and especially on analog clocks the animation looks rather weird.
Regards,

And another request from me...
This was pretty much the first thing I did on my HD2 (disable flip) and it's driving me nuts already!

bump bump , same here

Bump!
Agreed about the analog comment...it's bloody weird!

No one knows how? i will call htc tomorrow and ask them.

You can try but they probably don't have a solution.., It's just build in.

Not that this disables it by normal operation, but I find using "No Lock" from the Market skips the animation when you press the power button, but it also removes the need to "slide down" to unlock after pressing the power button (this is good in my book, and the real reason I use it).

This also annoyed me to no end when I first got the phone especially on the analogue clocks. It looks really stupid to see the hands rotate round the clock to the correct time every time you flick back to it! I searched for hours trying to find a solution but I gave up. Which is a real shame because I really like the HTC clocks but can't use them

Yeah that was their answer too. So there's not going to be a way to do this official.

Another one from me, very annoying!!
