[REQ] Twin curtain style app

I'm putting out a request to all developers in compiling this app.
My idea is based off the function of the dialer curtain. Only, this app will have the option of using a transparent curtain or custom curtain (blank, wallpaper, etc.) and the curtains can be activated at any time for any reason, and then of course, be deactivated.
To be a little more detailed, one could use a capacitive swipe upwards from the send key to the home key (and activate transparent mode), or from the end call key to the back key (to activate wallpaper mode), to initialize the program. Upon initialization, the screen wouldn't be immediately covered, only a click and drag icon would appear at the top and/or bottom of the screen. Clicking this icon and dragging up or down would extend and retract the curtain and the curtain could stop wherever you lift your finger (you could use the curtain to partially cover the screen). Reactivating the program while running would simply close it (meaning another swipe upwards of the capacitive area would put away the curtain AND button).
An added option would be to double or triple tap the curtain button once the curtain has been put in place to lock the curtain in place. (even locked so that capacitive swipes won't close the program.)
I feel this could be very useful in many area's and for all types of user's from parents to porn addicts as well as for business. (<---that's sounds kinda F'd up in an ominous pun kind of way.)
Just to name a few
(e.g. Porn addicts could use it for privacy purposes in public. Parents could use it to cover the start menu while in a paint app and let their child play with it without worry, and business when you're multi tasking and need to walk away for a min and want to lock/hide the screen without closing apps or putting your phone into suspend.) Not to mention a fullscreen dialer curtain!
So what do you all think? I know there are apps that can do parts of this which is why I'm asking multiple developers to compile their certain segments.
Please and Thank You!
*Edited* A better way to lock it could be if the curtain button was able to slide left and right. When it pops up, it would start on the right side. when you let go and then touch the button again, you could slide it to the left side of the screen and it would lock. ( Because the button actually sits just above the curtain, when you drag to the very top, the button wouldn't exit the screen and the curtain wouldn't cover the start menu. Same thing for dragging down, it wouldn't cover the softkeys. But when you performed the locking action, the curtain would merely slide up or down the rest of the way. eh?!?!

Is this not that good of an idea? I noticed people have at least looked at this but not a single comment? No body backs this? disagrees? is too busy? i'm kinda disapointed.

Sounds to me like this is another locking application with features of both S2U2 and Touchlock Pro. Would you agree?

yes and no. More like a combo of butler and the HD dialer curtain with visual interaction/amusement. I'm a big fan of using gestures and seeing things work rather than just relying on adequate lighting or waiting for a vibration.
Mainly, this style of locking app allows you to lock out certain parts of your phone with ease, while still being able to use other functions.

To me this is not really another locking app! I actually like this idea. Has some possibility in it! Good thinking

[APP] HaaliReader for touch screen

I'm big fan of HaaliReader, but I don't like how it behaves on my Touch Pro2.
So I have created a build for touch screen control.
May be someone will appreciate...
Changes compared to the original:
Sweep finger up and down to scroll pages
Sweep finger left right to move among chapters/sections
Tap long to popup menu
Doubleclick to activate full creen
Dictionary - the search is from the popup menu
Dictionary - when active, left or right sweep will return to the previous position
FullScreen mode - tapping right bottom corner performs page down
FullScreen mode - tapping right top corner will quit full screen
I must just note, that I'm really not a C++ or WM developer. It was just my try and tested only on my phones. Any feedback is appreciated.

Seems to work fine on the Fuze - cool app.

Hardware shortcuts? (double-click trackball shortcut etc.)

Is there any way (or app) to program long press, double click, or triple click etc, shortcuts for the trackball?
There are 5 buttons which can be exploited in multiple ways. Currently there are 8 static global functions:
- Back then "end"
- Options then Keyboard
- Home then Recently used
- Search then voice search
- Trackball press for enter
handcent adds a quick compose option where voice search is so it made me wonder if there are any apps or ways to create custom shortcuts.
I know multiple taps are out on the touch-sensitive buttons but I don't particularly use the search button so there's two shortcut's I'd prefer to allocate.
Something like double-press on the iPhone button shortcuts; messages, iPod etc.

[APP]GScroll v2 with KEYMAKER

''Swipe'' to Scroll GScroll allows you to swipe your finger left/right/up/down on the touch panel to scroll or navigate. This functionality will work in any Windows Mobile application that supports scrolling or navigation via the directional pad. ''Tap & Tilt'' to Scroll GScroll allows you to use your built in accelerometer to scroll or navigate any application. Simply double tap the center circle, and then begin tilting. To exit ''Tap & Tilt'' mode, simply tap the touch panel. Double-Tap Launch Zones GScroll allows each of the 4 quadrants of the touch panel to be assigned to a custom application. Double tapping the quadrant will launch the application of your choosing. You can also assign custom actions to the hotkey, such as ''Open Start Menu'' and ''Close Current Application''. AppSwitch Swipe from one side of the panel to the other to bring up an application switcher. Select the icon in the list you wish to activate and it will be brought to the foreground.

If I did something wrong I apologize because this is my first post.

[Guide] Undocumented Features (Stock)

I've been playing with this phone non - stop now and I've found some interesting features that I haven't seen documented in any manual or guide , so I thought I'd share my findings with you all.
Alternate Menu / Back control with S-Pen :
Instead of drawing a backwards arrow or an upwards arrow while holding the button to activate back or menu, you can hold the button and swipe down from about an inch above either capacitive key (near the edge of the screen) to get the same effect.
Expand /Collapse Categories
I've found that in the e-mail client, you can expand and collapse the subsections of the main window by using two fingers to rotate clockwise (like spinning the compass direction in google maps) on the screen.
I don't know if these are shared functions with the original Note or if these have been documented somewhere but I've just missed it
Have you found any interesting undocumented features that you would I like to share?

When holding with one hand,press your Thumb in the middle of the screen and move it slowly all the way upwords in a loop,that will zoom out the home pages just like pinching.

When in a full screen mode (any app) swipe down quickly (from the outside of the screen) to toggle notification bar.
Only works if u swipe fast, slow won't activate it.
