Can we try and develop some apps that take advantage of the multi touch pad at the bottom of the phone?
Maybe something like the iPhones picture viewer to zoom or rotate.
To be honest I only recently found out about the multi touch pad by using NavDbgTool.exe.
But surely it has some potential - maybe mixing it with g sensor function
you can zoom and rotate with a finger, holding the pda with one hand (just draw a circle to zoom, and a semi-circle to rotate)
oh wow what a revolutionary idea, im sure no one here, especially no developer has thought about that before......
hhmm! Help from a senior member.. usual.. Sarcasm from a junior member... refeshing
So where can i find apps that take advantage of the multi touch ?
I am aware of the circular zoom function in htc album, but i was thinking of the resize and rotate function like on iPhone and microsoft surface.
Surely "every developer" has thought of replicating that?
I have a real practical use for that pad-
On the HTC Touch Pro it is ideal for a scroll bar area. Most apps do not support the navi-wheel for scrolling, and the navi-wheel is incredibly imprecise in any case. having the area from the Home to the Back key be a scroll strip would be great for scrolling down long documents or web pages.

Hi,
I've been checking out Smasung Omnia... it's nice but not a knock out.
Here's the question: that device has a nice application that rotate the screen using the finger (very much similar to the Album of the Touch).
Does anyone know an application like this to be install on the Polaris ?
Thanks.

Hello for all.I have idea for maybe usefull application.Today i see app called "Anti touch" on N series nokia writen in perl.What it do?If You let your phone somewhere,this app is running and somebody take the phone - app wake up using a g-sensor and play a alert sound.Off option is protected by password.So anybody know a alternative for Diamond?
That could be pretty cool. But I think you have to do it in combination with the light sensor. So you don't get the alarm when you take it out of your pocket. Only if you've left it on the table or something like that. And maybe start the alarm after a few seconds (enough for you to enter the code). Otherwise is can get pretty annoying.
hey guys,
i have a diamond touch and im really enjoying the various roms and customisation available. my question is.... is there a way to enable vibration / pulse on selection of an item on the touch screen?
(similar to the way the Touch HD and Samsung Tocco f480 does).
Many thanks

Take a look in Develop n Hacking, you will find a haptics tool.
I can't remember the name, sorry... VibrateShell?
I'm using an app called Touch Response on my diamond by snailslug. though i only use it together with the on screen SIP. but there are a few options that you can apply

yea i use touch response, it's great you can adjust by the ms of how long it vibraters. only thing is, sometimes it will vibrate like violently and longer than the others haha
is there anyone who has managed to get that touch lock screen where u connect the points in a pattern of your choice on the leo (i think its from the droid but i might be wrong)? i'd like a tiny bit more security then the normal lock screen but something a little better than the normal pin entering kefuffle
You are probably referring to ThrottleLock, which fakes Android unlock sequence.
I tested it on my Leo, it was ugly with the default skin, awfully slow and the G-sensor was not recognized. In fact, it was better on my Kaiser...
I wish we had more alternatives than the iphoneish slide unlock. No offence to A_C but I'm tired of having every iphone owner say "oh they even copied the unlock screen". I'm tempted to write my own using the multi-touch capabilities (like "press A + B at the same time to unlock"), but I need to improve my C# first...
I'm using throttlelock, which has the pattern. It's working fine on my Leo and is quick. Much quicker than my Kaiser was. I don't mind the look of the classic throttlelock which is transparent. I'm more than happy with it.
cheers, i downloaded and installed throttlelock but i cant get it to lock with throttlelock when i press the lock button... any way of chaging the settings for it to use throttlelock instead of the current screen?
Edit: I changed my configurations and now ThrottleLock locks automatically on power-on. I've even changed the original skin to VGA so its much less ugly now.
Hi! Same issues with ThrottleLock in my phone:
It recognizes the GSensor, but its very slow to update the screen with the 3D effect.
It doesn't lock the screen automatically on poweroff-poweron. In fact, sometimes it locked the screen automatically, I don't know exactly under which circunstances that happened.
I don't know how to make it show notifications. But perhaps, that's because I didn't understand its configuration.
I thought about posting a message in ThrottleApps forum, but the forum looks kind of abandoned. :-(
That's a pity because, although it wouldn't win beauty contests, I really liked its password scheme.
I solved my problems with the automatically lock.
I've changed the background skin for a WVGA one and it looks better now. (But the G-Sensor is still very slow, so I'll disable the 3D animation.)
I'll try ThrottleLock for some time.
wvga skin for throttlelock
Hey just wonder where you found a wvga skin for throttlelock
searched through google, xda and throttlelock's website and all i could find were dead links.
its also a pity that throttlelock hasn't been updated in over a year as the idea is a good one.

In fact, I customized the original skin to WVGA. Mostly, I changed the background picture, did some smal changes to the file skin.xml and doubled the icon's size.
I attached the skin. Put the directory Akira.WVGA under your skins directory (in my case, its \Program Files\ThrottleLock\Skins) and change the skin in ThrottleLock Settings. You can change the file back.png to one that suits your tastes.
Note: I'm on the verge of switching back to Slide2Unlock2. Sometimes ThrottleLock takes several seconds to unlock. I'll test if this problem occurs with S2U2 too.
thanks
thanks for the skin
will use soon as hd2 gets back from repair
With throttelock The screen locks during a call.
When a call is in progress and the phone is close to the ear, the screen shuts down to prevent accidental taps without locking the screen and when the phone moves from the ear, the screen wakes up and it's possible to use it forward.
But with throttelock, the the screen shuts down and locks itself and when the phone moves from the ear during a call, I must first unlock it.
How can I make the screen only to be shut down when a call is in progress and the phone is close to the ear and not to lock the screen?
