Hi gps-lover!
I'd like to post some ideas here to make "task facade" even better:
Pocket PC Version:
It would be nice to ba able to add a task to the "banned task"/"banned window" list from within the application - for example from the dialog that appears after doubletapping on a task.
Smartphone Version:
In the current Version (3.7.7) ist is not yet possible to close a task with the facade. This would be a nice feature.
Regards
Silent_R
why? why open a new thread for this?
you JUST replied to the original thread.
read the rules..
it was my idea.
the problem is, that thread is too big, is used mainly for problem reports and is hard to track for feature requests.
so the idea was to have a separate thread for feature requests only.
sorry if it's against the rules.

it's just that... imagine that every other app has a thread only for requests...
this section of the forum is already drowning in new threads... that's why the questions and answers section was openned.
If i were you i'd ask people to give in suggestions with the title "Suggestion" and then you can search your thread for all posts containing "Suggestion"... and get only those posts. go through them to get an update for your app.
just an idea
cheers.
p.s. sorry for sounding blunt, it's hard to pass on the tone of voice..
might i request margins between the screenshots so they arent sharing the same borders ala xperia style??? i believe that it would look better and more eye appealing without losing functuality
thanx for your hard work

That's already an option.
I have the HTC Touch Pro and the program will not allow me to close any open applications. Is there a fix for this yet or do I need to do some config to get the tap and hold feature working to close any open tasks?? I got hooked in when I saw the youtube demo video. I believe the phone used was either Diamond or TP and it worked flawlessly on the video. Did I do something wrong?
Any way to mimic the vista aero task switcher? So you could flip through the open tasks with finger swipes.
Scroll Support for Tilt/Kaiser
I'm using Task Facade with the AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser). When I start Task Facade, I usually see two columns of two or 3 panels each. The scroll wheel will move up and down the column that is originally selected, but will not move over to another column.
Would it be possible to make the scroll wheel "loop" through the columns, so that when it reaches the bottom of one, it moves to the top of the next?
I'm on a mission! These are the things that I want to change on my x1. If you know of a way to fix any of these then please please please let me know how.
Here they are in no particular order
1) Auto Que text messages
By this I mean.... if I try to send a text message with no signal I get a big nasty red message saying something along the lines of Message Was Not Sent. Try again? and a loud annoying beep to follow
What I want...... Is to be able to hit send, jam the phone back in my pocket and get back to what I was doing. Happy in the knowledge that if I didn't have signal when I sent the message, it will automatically re-send as soon as I walk into signal.
2) Find a free way of making video calls (I can only get skype to make voice calls)
3) Skin the text messages or find a text message panel to make it easier to use and less ugly
4) Add a storage card shortcut to my start menu
5) Stretch the landscape pin entry to full screen
6) Get the OK button to actually cancel and close things
PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I can hit the x button then select "close" or "close all"
7) Stretch the landscape keyboard to the full length of the screen
PROBLEM SOLVED With Finger Keyboard 2 the keyboard is stretched across the full length of the landscape screen. Plus I no longer have to sharpen my thumb nail to a point to be able to send a text message
8) Totally Remove today screen lines (not just change the color)
9) Play Game Boy Advance Roms in full screen landscape mode
10) Remove "today" and recent programs icons from the start menu.
11) Stretch the top right cross button
I have installed gtrabs SEX1 "F" series Task bar icons and I love them. id also like to stretch the x at the top right of my screen to twice its width. To make it easier to press.
PROBLEM SOLVED With WkTASK I have skinned the x button its not allot bigger but it dose make it easier to press.
12) Make it easier to change tracks whilst driving
I have a sat nav style phone holder that sticks my x1 to my car windscreen in landscape mode, with the buttons out. I connect my x1 to my car stereo and pump out the tunes via my car speakers. But with the media experience panel its so hard to change tracks without looking, the button is so small its dangerous
PROBLEM SOLVED The driving panel is more than what I was looking for it has mph, track shuffle, sat nav button, and perfectly sized volume, track skip, and pause buttons, Xuanlong got it to me 10 days before it was released!
13) Stop the experience panel changing color I want it to stay ocean blue

Where did you get the on the road panel from??
(Pre Release) On The Road Panel
(Pobierz = Download) right click, save target as. some people have problems downloading I managed to get it to work on Internet Explore. Other new panels here but are reported to be a bit buggy.
On the Road Panel looks great, but the navigation button/config does not work
Where can I get my TT maped to the button?
now, that's just lame... this problem fixed by someone @ sonyericssonx1.proboards.com... it sort of sounds like:
'the xda community has once again proven to be unfriendly and unhelpful but thanks god someone at proboards helped me out there, so why don't you guys and gals all come along and let's help ourselves by posting links to stuff that's on xda'
come on dude, you could have just read through topics on this forum to see what's out there that might be useful or used the search option, most of the issues you had and wanted resolved were quick hits
To make the reply box larger in messaging you can use Total Commander to search for and edit the file thread_sms.htm in the windows directory. It's a hidden file so make sure you have 'show all files' checked when you search for it
Look for this line:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell focus count .. .. ..
Change height (in this case 35) to 70 and you get 3 lines for text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you and soft reset after editing the file...
Still an ugly interface but much easier to use. Mine is set at 140.
Sorry, but I had to post this. I saw the other shameless plug for your site on another thread as well and didn't bother to comment. I hate people who say "this looks like an ad" and "you should use search"... but this looks like an ad and you should use search.
I personally don't really care if you want to share your website with others, my only issue is that you should give credit where credit is due.
Might want to change your post to read "problem solved thanks to X @sonyericssonx1.proboards.com WITH solutions that could have easily been solved by using the search function from XDA developers" since most of those tools came from here anyway (apart from the driving panel. wktask is a japanese program, but it was adapted into english on these boards).
But to be honest, if you cant use the search function here, it's probably best to post elsewhere anyways.
PS most of your other points can be found here as well. Just use search.

Classic QFT.
Like I said before, I have no problem with you and your board, but don't rub it in our faces every chance you get.
Again, most of these questions can be answered fairly easily using XDA search.
As I imagine it can be hard to do the storage card shortcut, I'll give you a hint on it. On your phone, navigate to \windows\start menu. There you'll find a whole lot of shortcuts. Copy and rename the extension one of them to .txt and open it. You'll see a nice and comprehensable path there. Adjust it, save and rename back to .lnk. You're all set!
For the shortcut problem (storage card): why don't you try the easiest way "copy"->"paste as shortcut" in File Explorer. That's the most standard way to create shortcut.

Damn you dudes are harsh. He has an awesome site. It's like XDA-dedicated to the X1. Give him a break?? He doesn't get paid for anything, and spends alot of time on that site; only to contribute to the X1 family.
And the comments of [email protected], come on?? No one here knows who some1 is if he just like posts 'xuanlong' or so, but he refers to one of the members of his site. I can tell you now that you wont find all of the contributors and be able to pm them if he just gives their nicknames?
Place yourself in his position before posting your 'comments'.
Have respect, keep your thoughts for yourself

very very debatable... um, actually, very not true
Jeese, some of you guys are like spoilt little kids,
All this guy has done is to take some of his time to make a site dedicated to the X1 and simply gives you links to other websites that have some cool programs on them. It is actually very useful for people who dont have the time to go searching through all of the XDA site.
XDA is a good site but can be difficult to find things relating to the X1 specifically through the search when you only have 5 mins.
You guys are just slating someones hard work for no reason, if you dont like it then don't go to it and dont comment on it.
RESPECT!!!

Ah wow dude, thanx. Someone actually understands and realises this dude's work. It's so much simpler to get around on his site.
I admit, nothing will beat XDA, but this site is dedicated to the X1, much more userfriendly and easier to find things.
All we need is more members and contributions, and that site might become the number 1 Xperia site.
Just take a look at his site. If you don't like it, your loss. And keep your comments for yourself. If you do like it, help out a bit!
Thanx for the GREAT site W I N D L E. Don't give up

As for you other lads who feel like being windle's knight in shining armor, you're behaving just as bad by "bashing" those who oppose his website. Not everyone has to like it, but they have just as much right to post they don't as windle has right to post about it in the first place. Basically, I'm pulling a "right back at ya" here - if you don't like their posts, ignore them!
Besides, he's still advertising his own site, with links to this site, on this site! Doesn't that strike you the least bit as odd?

Resco Contacts. It'll reskin the dialer, the call registry, your contacts and messaging.
PointUI Pro (unreleased).
Touch-IT v4.5 - The new Touchflo pretty much covers over the Winmo interface entirely.
There the ones i've used, others might have other solutions. Touch-IT is the best, but of dubious legality. PointUI will be great eventually, but it's still in early stages. Resco is OK, needs work but it's perfectly useable and better than the standard Windows Mobile stuff.

Gee, how could anyone find XDA unfriendly and unhelpful? I wonder... do you think... it could be posts like that?
Again, I love XDA, it's got good stuff, but all too often, on receives replies that are not friendly or helpful. My opinion is, if you dont have something worth while to contribute, dont bother replying, if it's just to tell them to search, or complain, etc.
And there's nothing wrong with giving a little credit where credit is due. I've seen plenty of links on other sites and blogs, crediting users at XDA in a similar manner.
Since you've already acknowledged some of XDA's perceived flaws, perhaps we could try to improve that image, rather than just taking shots at another site?

hi guys,
i just found out that our 4 hardwarekeys on our blackstone are just driver-made. that means our touchpad goes down to the keys.
this can easily be proved by using slide2unlock2: while sliding, go down to the keys and it is still possible to move the slider.
so why don't we tweak the driver for the buttons a bit to have e.g. 5 softkeys? we could move the home and back button a little bit aside.
i often missed the "startmenu"-key on my hd.
of course we don't get that printed on our device, but if you know where these buttons are, it could be very usefull.
so, what do you think? is it possible to realize?
unfortunately i'm not gifted with these programming skills, but i bet somebody around here can definitly do it!
greetings,
guro
no one interessted in this?
think of the buttons an HD2 has, i mean the same alignment! so in one row should be dial, home, windows, back, hang up buttons.
do you know which dll is the driver for the buttons?
thanks in advance!

I remember someone doing this before or trying to get it developed. Not sure how it was left though. Most likely in the Development and hacking forum. I suggest to try searching there and/or post your query within that forum
would you mind moving my thread over to that forum?
i didn't find any thread while searching for that topic...

Problem is I cannot remember where I saw it. I would direct you there if I knew where it was. This is why I said for you to search. I'll have a quick look and see if I can find it. If I do I'll post link or combine threads
EDIT
Think I found original thread, but unfortunately it went no ware with no responses. Sorry mate
Ok so i have a cool idea for an app but have no clue how to impliment it into code. I have started to work on the ui part of the code, not that hard. I am now at the point where i need to know how to controll hardware like the LED's, the screen,and the microphone. I have no idea how to conrol these various parts of the phone. The app i am try to make in theory would be like the old motorola razr v3 mod (Check it out here) where the phone's screens' would flash along with the keypad and leds to the beat of any vibrations to hit the microphone, there were several different patterns that would give different effects, it was pretty cool. So i would like to do the same with the screen, track ball, keys, and the led at the top of the phone. With multiply styles of flash patterns some with color coordinated and some just plane white lights. If i can get some help with this that would be great, i am new to code all around ik very basic html witch is not verry helpful, though it is similar to the xml. If you think this app is a good idea and even remotly cool please help if you can. By the way the app would be call Club Droid.
Thanks Much
this isn't the right forum to be posting this in. reported
Make a new thread in the development section buddy
I hope this is the right place to post a question about modifying an existing app. In the long run, I want to create a Xposed module to do the modification, but to get started I work with modding the decompiled app. The app in question is de.zeit.diezeit.epaper.android, which is a German newspaper reader app (I am not expecting anyone to know it). What I want to do is to get rid of the scrolling animation when reading an article, because I am using this app on an eInk device (Icarus Illumina).
Now my problem is, I don't find a starting point. I have to say I don't have much (read: almost none) experience with writing Android apps (although I have a lot of programming experience otherwise). Thus I have no idea how such an animation would be implemented. I searched for references to the Scroller class and replaced the duration argument of the startScrolling method by 5ms, but this didn't change anything.
Is there any way to run the app in some kind of debug mode to see which methods are called at which time? Another idea how to find the right spot might be the trigger of the scroll: I am using the hardware page turn buttons of the device to scroll down exactly one page. How would this be implemented, what should I search for to find the code that reacts on these buttons? (Also: how can I press these buttons in the emulator?)
I am sorry if I am asking too many noob questions. If there is relevant documentation I have obviously missed, please point me to it. Thank you very much for any help!
Try looking under res/anim*

Hi, very late after the question, but I am considering buying an Illumina XL HD e-reader in order to have e-ink to read newspapers. What has been your experience with your device (which model in particular is it?)? Also, I would like to root it. Do you know if that is possible? Finally, did you manage to modify the app? If so, was it difficult?
Hi, hope you found the solution
