This was taken in July but it works so well nothing has changed :lol:
I think I know the answer to this question, but what is that program with caller picture thumbnails you have?

Hey that looks so cool, what software do you use to get you desktop looking like that?
Nothin' Fancy
Kinda boring but it works for me
The first screen is for work, the second for play.
I usually switch both sims and desktops.
Note to self: I need to get a dual sim adaptor :lol:
New to making themes and struggling with VGA themes but this is my current screen. If anyone is better at this and cares to help me sort this out I'd be extreamly grateful!!!

My old Universal. Haven't dusted her off for quite a while.

That still has to be the coolest screen I've seen!!!
How is vjsihaya coming along?

LOL,
how do you make this great screen ???
That is SUPER !!!
I was just looking at the screenshot - January 2006! Sheesh. I haven't programmed anything specific for VJSihaya since then - reason being, when I had the idea way back when, I knew what I wanted it to do, but knew what I had to go away and learn LOTS of new stuff.
I've been tinkering with different ideas, bits and bobs, so that I can eventually throw them together to make it as complete as I want it to be.
Like I've said elsewhere, stuff like VJVolubilis is just R&D, that I've released stand alone, but I like the idea of VJSihaya. However, HTC really need to get more VGA screens out. I'm thinking of going to TyTN, and at QVGA VJSihaya isn't as beautiful

Sorry for stupid question, but how do you change your screen to make it look like DavidT's?

I think that is WisBar Advance he is using. It is not free though.
Yep thats Wisbar Advance I'm using along with a windows vista theme. The picture dialer is the one ripped off from the Treo 700W and was designed for QVGA and square screens thats why it looks so small on the Universal's VGA screen but it still works great
A couple of questions:
Does it not totally destroy your eyes trying to read the text on true VGA mode?
I used WisBar Advance once when I had my alpine - it made it so there was no ring when an incoming call happened, are there any problems with using it on a phone now? If not, do you know why not? Is it the new device or a newer version of the WisBar software?
Thanks guys, I'm off to investigate Wizbar Advance!
Anjow - to answer your question.
Yes the text is small in VGA mode - in Word set your font size to 7 point font size (perhaps 6 - hard to tell) and you'll get an idea of how big the text is.
I find it perfectly readable and LOVE the extra space it gives me, browsing the internet actually becomes worthwhile as well!
VJBigPhone makes the phone work properly on VGA (Thanks again!!!) - my only problem is that Solitaire still thinks it's using 320x240 and is too small!!!
It depends upon personal preference and what you intend to use the device for.

Do you mean on my PC or my device? If on my device it seems I can't go lower than 8?
Thanks.
Sorry I meant on your PC
Hmm, perhaps tolerable then. I'm surprised because when I'm using pocket opera some of the text is really tiny already? Perhaps that's a feature of opera though.

What plugin are u using for the memory used and battery life status on your today screen?
That wud be a great help since, i am looking for a similar but light weight plugin. Pocket plus has it but i find it heavy and thus don't use it anymore.
Has anyone thought about linking the screen orentation to VueFLO so it automatically changes depending on the orientaiton of the device? Is this possible? I would certainly be interested

Good Idea!
would LOVE to see that....
Would VueFLO be able to tell the difference between tilting the device to the left (when in landscape) and rotating it into portrait?
A really REALLY cool idea though
Less talk and more results !!!
This would be truly a great app to have on the advantage. Anyone out there willing to build this app for us, it would be appreciated to the entire forum.
is it possible....and if so..how..?? doesnt VueFlo..uses manual buttons..can any1 care to explain if its possible or not..buh if it is..then it wud be great
i would to wite a programe for VueFlo on athena but i can't find any way for connect to VueFlo
i would write the programe for a thing like anti thief

And that sounds like a great idea... look, i do some xcode programming for iphone and being a close plathform i feel you can do more on that then Athena. dont get me wrong i love my Athena and i wouldnt change it but i think it is capable of so much more ... i broke my x7500 and got iphone and wasnt doin it so i got another athena. i use the both and i love my athena more than i phone....

Believe me, If I could, I would.
Some coding god needs to reverse engineer to vueflo apps to work out how the hardware is accessed. After that, any coder can do it just like the iphone/ipod people are all making stuff that uses the accelerometer in them.
Its not an easy task. We need somebody in HTC to leak the details really.
Arya, so you were never able to fix your phone call recording problem? The built-in recorder handles it, I forget now why you were still having a problem. Off-topic, I know, discuss on the original thread.
On-topic, the motion sensor on the hard drive is just that... a motion sensor. Not an orientation sensor (like mercury switches are). Just turning the unit on its side won't let the OS know its now on its side, however, by adding some kind of motion code it will work just fine. Like shaking it twice downward in the direction you want to be down. Shaking it once would produce too many false changes, but twice or maybe 3 times would send the right message.
This type of phone input has been in the news a lot lately, along with vibration as a feedback. The idea on the news is you would shake your phone to see if you have any messages waiting, and it would vibrate back if you do. Unfortunately since the Athena doesn't have a vibration motor the output part isn't possible, but the input part is, since it has the motion sensors already! (the lack of vibration is one of the top-5 flaws of this device, IMO, hopefully it will get added on the X7502)
So, taking the topic of this thread one step further, how about creating an application that launches apps based on motion input? Yes I know there is a program out there that lets you reprogram most of the function buttons to do this (I forget its name at the moment, I haven't bought it yet), but adding motion to this mix would be so much cooler!
shake it baby?
these ideas seam very good but sahaking it multiple times and to open programs seams like it may cause problems because our device is just tooo big, imagine to shake or rotate ur device a specific way to get pie running (maybe it could be shaken to the rythem of ur favourite song (which has to be the Smashing Pumpkins..) and it shakes out of your hand on to the concrete pavement below wooops!!! just imagine the insurance form for that
Well, the unit's motion sensitivity is quite high. Easily confirmed by changing the viewflo sensitivity to high and then gently tilting the unit when you are in a browser. You wouldn't have to create martinis or milkshakes to launch an app, just a gentle flick or two will do. A downside of all this is carrying it around would present problems (either on your belt or in your hand). Even if you ignore the g-sensors when the cover is on, the cover-on switch is so faulty you might get to work and find that you wired $150 Euros to the Red Cross and sent all your checking account information to some guy in Nigeria.

why did i just know someone would suggest this. hahaha prolly cause i thought that too! hahaha
1 reason of many i can think of is Iphone look alike
Hi, i'm interested in an iphone-like app too.
I still can't understand why HTC inserted a hardware which can handle with orientation, and then it's only possible to use scolling in PIE or Opera.
Why not Scrolling in PIE AND Opera. I love this feature, and want it always and for other apps too, like Rotate Screen automaticly, skip music file or backwards in WMP, Forward/backward in PIE/Opera when moved left/right.
I don't unterstand this. The difficult part is the integration of hardware, and HTC didn't develop a simple app which makes the hardware really do what it is supposed to do.
I even don't believe they added the G-Sensor for the Microdrive.
nothing new?
even with the new softwares incluede in devices such as Omnia or Diamond?
I'm looking for a slide-to-unlock solution for my X1. It should NOT come with any additional features (as S2U2 unfortunately does). I don't need to lock it for incoming calls, my phone software does this by itself. I only need an app which will lock the device on wakeup so I have to slide to unlock. Nothing more and nothing less. The best thing would be a Today-plugin.
One more question: If such a software does not exist, how hard would it be to create one? I am an experienced programmer in VB, JavaScript and PHP, so I don't think I would have to learn a lot. The question is just whether the process of locking/unlocking the phone and capturing the wakup-event etc. is actually easy to program. I don't want to write more than 50 lines of code for this and it has to work very well with that. Do you think this is possible?

As I don't know how screen slides are registered, I'm not 100% sure, but I can't imagine it'd need more than 100 lines.
Things you have to keep in mind that it has to be full-screen, always on top, locking hardware buttons as well etc.
If you manage to get this to work, I'd be very much obliged, as I'm looking for the exact same thing!
My advice: Make it semi-transparant and add an easy to modify image (png) that tells you to slide, which turns from red to green when you're set and then disappears.
I recommend making it fullscreen slide, the way lockmelite does, but then with the image added.
Nice to know that I'm not the only one looking for it
So you would propose a transparent fullscreen app? I would prefer using the Windows-lock, but I think once it's in, the only way to unlock is through the standard procedure. Can anyone confirm this? What other ways are there to lock the touchscreen? Is there a way to keep a transparent windows always on top? And an easy function to lock the hw-keys? Would you just set up a sort of hook and don't pass the keypress event? Is there a way to ensure that the event will not be passed on to other apps such as AEButtons? I really need some serious information on this before I start reading tutorials and organizing compilers etc.
simple screen lock that works
I came across this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419525
Works well, I had to set "on call unlolck" and switch of it's "slide to answer" function to prevent issues with my current ROM.
works a charm on my X1 using TouchIT 4.5 !
tried a few others out, but all had one or another issue. For more, search for "screen lock" in main forum search.
(edit) although free needs simple monthly renewal of registration keygen

Yeah, first monthly registration sucks and I don't like the software. I've had it installed twice and I'm not satisfied (R2A ROM though). Performance is bad, many mismatches because of this. Application always comes in to protect, for example at boot - but it's completely useless because you can blast it away if you know enough to install it in the first place. deifnitely a no-go for me.

I think it might be alot harder then you imagine. Programming in PHP is very, very easy. The best option is probably try to find one of the eary s2u2 cabs. Maybe A_C has some tips for you
For Dev... MSDN may have the answer
If you are looking for examples of how to program the slide yourself, there's a good sample on codeproject:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/IPhoneUI.aspx
It's written in C#.NET but if you can program VB.NET you should be able to read through and vaguely understand what's going on.
The sample is an iPhone clone UI, not just the slide-to-unlock bit and I think the sample is QVGA. Either way, its better than having to work it all out from scratch ;o)
I've been meaning to write something similar but unfortunately life isn't giving up the time at the moment. If I get around to it I'll post it on XDA for everyone else to enjoy!

Damn, this program is nice!
I always have problems with S2U2 because it's slow, often incoming calls messes the screen so I'm not able to answer and sometimes the color depth of the screen changes to approx. 5 colors after unlocking and only a softreset helps.
PocketShield seems to be cut to the essential: locking and unlocking.
I'll try it a bit more

It does, but with not all of its features. PocketShield has 3 essential ways to unlock: light, slide and gestures.
X1 does not have a G-sensor, so gestures unlock won’t be available.
It does has a light sensor but apparently it is very difficult for 3rd apps to access it, so light unlock will neither be available.
Only “slide to unlock” will work. And due to this a special deal has been made for the Xperia community… You might be interested: http://www.pocketshield.net/Xperia

Hey all - app request to the developer crowd.
I am looking for an app that will allow the keyboard to be auto selected dependent on certain apps,
ie.
Internet Explorer / Opera = samsung keyboard / fingerkeyboard
SMS / Email = Phonepad
if its too difficult to code to auto select, how about making the on screen SIP selector assignable to a hardkey - the little pop up drives me crazy..I either press the right hand softkey or I press and press and press and nothing happens..
Thanks all
I'm rocking a Samsung Omnia - WinMo 6.5 from Sector @ Modaco.
Hope someone can help with this little app.
That's a really great idea. (You could do with MortScript and VJSwitchSIP, but it'd be messy.) It'd be nice to have one app that'd do it.
Can I bump this in case anyone out there can make such an app.
it seems it would get interest from the community.
please anyone reading this post add a comment saying if you would find this useful
Cheers

TouchLockPro has a built in SIP changer, which depends on the Stylus position or Keyboard (Touch Pro). I do not know if it works also on Omnia, you could try. The source code can also be downloaded, so the interesting part can be reused.
can someone come out with a small tweak for this?
this is usually especially when you are in a full screen browser..
thanks !!
