I am a noob and this is my first post, so go easy on me. I have a mogul phone and one of the problems i have is trying to use my finger to press icons or words that are in the corners of the screen. For instance the X button, or the start button, or the (soft Key)? buttons at the bottom of the screen. And especially the Keyboard (SIP) icon. Is there anyway to "draw in the whole screen size" so it could pull these icons away from the corners and sides. I didnt have this issue withe the iphone as their screen is flush with the edges of the device so my finger could still hit on part of the icon.

First as a noob, don't start a thread, direct your questions to:

Second, you should look at some of the more finger-friendly approaches. Manilla 2D is a very good one. Besides most of the task you mentioned can be achieved by using a hardware button.
Welcome, one of the first thing you are gonna hear from anyone here is do a search or rtfw (read the f****** wiki)
second of all like wearefree already stated just about all the function you are trying to do can be accoplished with a hardware button (which are much more accurate)
try manilla 2d for basic function but your phone is capable of doing just about anything you want to you just need to be able ask google the right questions
I am searching for a developer to make a simple lock program. I know there are many lock programs around here but they have all to much functions.
What I am searching for is a simple lock with following functions:
(For TouchHD and others)
- Lock the "Hardware" Buttons (on TouchHD the 4 Touchbuttons)
- Lock using the G-Sensor (Landscape or reverse Landscape)
- Little Lock indicator in the middle of the softkeys on the bottom
- UnLock with slide left to right anywhere on the screen
- standby after 15sec if nothing on the screen is touched
thats all.
Can someone develop this???
And... I will pay for this if neccessary
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
i have ryans rom and i put in that lock, the screen is now broken how can i unlock that with out touching the screen?
so know one knows i i can slide or tap it
Is it possible to slide the screen up and down, not just left and right ?
Is there a tweak for this ?
