I miss the scroll bar on my Diamond! - Hero, G2 Touch General

After 2 months now with the Hero.....what I miss the most (it's the only thing) is the scroll bar at the botton. Makes it easier to scroll fast to the wanted function and has a better visual feel to it than the Hero "slide notification"....

title bar icons

Is there a way to make my close program "x" button larger? I have tried HTC large title bar and that is nice but it doesn't cause the buttons to default bigger, it lets you touch buttons and pull up a window with the larger buttons. This works ok but i would rather just have larger icons there to start with.
On a side not thanks for the info on lock programs S2UL works great!
I'm looking for the same functionality. Just a larger X button on the right corner of the topbar. Seems it doesn't exist?

iPod-like Scroll Wheel

is it possible to navigate, for example contact, in HTC Touch Pro by scrolling the D-Pad?
so it would function like iPod's scroll wheel...
is there any program to do that?
Did you know.......there is a touch sceen?

yeah..
i know..
i just like to know whether it is possible or not..
hahhas.
is it just me, or is the iPod scroll wheel scroll is counter productive?
why scroll and stress your thumb doing a circular motion if you can just press and hold (up or down on a long list)? or tap once, twice or trice (for short ones)?
it's not as revolutionary and "re-inventing the wheel" as crApple wants you to believe, you know..
just another eye-catching gimic promoting devolution..
3D scroll - works in a few places - among others in the browser where You can zoom in and out - as much/less as you want. It works MUCH better than double tapping etc.
I which HTC would have implemented the scroll function in all their applications, because it is much easier to control how much to scroll.
I'm use to the wheel on SE M600 & Pxx - and this navigation is a lot quicker and more precise than tapping&touching - however does not look so cool in the bar

i'm talking about using the four way directional/navigational button below the display..
it's better to press/tap (and/or hold) the buttons instead of doing circular motions when going through lists..
the zooming function (using the touch sensitive navigation buttons) implemented by HTC really is precise and functional because it makes the process smooth (rather than step zooming) and it also gives the directions dual purpose (press to pan, rotate scroll to zoom).. but would you still prefer using it on very very long lists (say 200 contatct entries or songs on a playlist)?
let's disregard the touchscreen for a moment..
if one complete revolution scrolls you to about 10 entries, then it'll take you atleast 15 revolutions and approximately 15 seconds (one thumb revolution/sec) to reach the 150th entry..
then compare it to a single press of the down button and holding it down for, say, 10 seconds (depending on your key repitition and acceleration settings) to reach the 150th entry. then give or take 5 entry adjustment for precision.
which of the 2 do you think gets you there faster with a less sore thumb/wrist/ligament?
maybe that's why they didn't implement it thruout the system (to navigate lists).. because it is still better (and less stressful) to press than rotate your thumb when going up or down lists..
i find the scroll wheel usefull in some apps, and thankfull a list of applications that it can be made to work in and the appropriate registry entriles are detailed in this thread.

Its mains for the diamond but the pro is not so different.
I second that, scroll wheel is MUCH more precise. Sometimes it is really faster and more useful, especially when I just have one hand for operating my PPC (ie. audiomanager).
And btw, click&hold down is much more ardous than scrolling with the wheel (for me at least).

I flick, it scrolls, when I've reached the desired item, I tap!
there is a little app called "ppod" and it's just a music player that looks like an ipod, you scroll using the touchscreen in the circular motion that you would with an ipod.

[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.

[Q] Lefthand options bar, and right hand multitasking

So I was wondering, how can one configure the lefthand and righthand menus to pop up faster, and without going into the corner of the screen? Ideally, I want to be able to touch anywhere on the screen edge to activate those menus. And if at all possible, I'd like to move the multitasking UI to the top of the screen instead of on the left. Thanks =]
Wouldn't it get in the way if all you had to do was move the mouse to the edge of the screen? Scroll bars would be pretty impossible to use...
I don't really have any problems with its speed. Do you know that if you move the cursor to a corner and directly up/down, the Charms/Multitasking bar will appear almost instantly? It doesn't wait for you, if you're quick.

Navbar Arrow keys on Stock ROM

I have been using Nexus phones for years with custom ROMs that have option to enable arrow keys on the left/right border of the Navbar. This is super adictive feature to move cursor back/forth. Is there any way to get those on S8? I checked numerous apps for customizing the Navbar but didn't find any that could do this. Some keyboards have option to show arrow keys (e.g. Smart Keyboard Pro that I use) but it is not elegant as it takes space vs. the option in Navbar that is sumply so cool... I am not yet ready to move away from stock ROM on my new S8 - maybe once Lingeage will get stable
So, after some more search I found a great solution - Custom Navigation Bar app (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-custom-navigation-bar-customize-t3590967) that works exactly like I want. I can add the left/right arrows. i am using the following settings:
- Type: Keycode
- Keycode: Dpad Left / Right
- Icon: Chevron left / right
Hope it helps to somebody
