Wow that's great, thanks!
It doesn't fill the whole screen on WVGA, however. Can you fix this?
Two suggestions:
1) You could place the chords at the top like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n23WEqqrP0I AND/OR
2) You could place the frets under the strings so that we can directly play the right notes.
Suggestion 1) would be especcially useful for the Touch HD, which has only two hardware buttons but a a lot of free space on the screen for the chords. I'd also be happy to donate/pay for your app if you could make that possible.
Again, thanks for developing that great app for WM!

WOW, Let me try this

Code:

Found it lol good video btw !! awesome app very promising too ... high quality sound ... this app rocks!

On Touch HD, exactely as your piano app, it doesn't fill the screen, but this is not the worst problem: the app stays in foreground and there's no way to shut it down if not a soft reset. It looks good, but i had to uninstall both of them because of this

Omniano......Now this..........Thank You for the guitar. Just what I was looking for. Keep up the great work

thank you motha RUSSIA kool app to show off to our rivals the iskumm

Sweet Guitar Sir!!!! Sticking and unsticking the chords is still a bit clunky , but the reaction time and interface is spot on..

I can't speak for the guitar app, but in Omniano there is an EXIT button right in the upper middle of the screen that shuts down the program quite effectively.

ther is a X button top left corner check it out carefully

Installed to storage card and tested quickly and it is fun - One bug though - Don't let S2U2 initialize while guitar running as you won't be able to unlock device - mine did and I tried to slide to unlock and all it did was play guitar strings, couldn't unlock - Didn't soft reset to get it out - not sure how but somehow through a combination of buttons I was able shut screen off and on again and get start somehow as S2U2 flashed on and off - hit it quick and got it to home screen. I wasn't worried - soft reset wouldn't have been that big of a pain. Anyway - remember to disable S2U2 to avoid the hassle. Testing further as this is fun

Thank You So Much This Amazing !!!!!

lol when i first use this app on my PPC last night. I wanted to try stairways to heaven. lol it works the sound everything good.. Im Supporting This App all the way.!! thanks

wow, iperov! your guitar is fantastic, and quick response!!
for your nice app!

The program is amazing! It's not really working on my kaiser though, the sound stutters and is full of clicks. Anybody else try this app on a kaiser? Thanks for help.

processor Qualcomm MSM7200 is too slow for high-response apps.

Don't work for me
It don't play any sound, 'x' and 'reset'-button don't work, and pressing the same hardware-button a second time to set a chord isn't possible. Maybe it's my device.
I tried to use it on my LG KS20 (WM6.0).
Edit:
Ahhh.... okay.... the answer is in the post before.... I've got this MSM7200 processor..... thanks anyway

i cant download for that site
please anyone upload it here or in www.mediafire.com

Reason why I'm ditching Froyo and returning to r22 alpha of Modaco's desire port.

1) The browser doesn't have a way to force desktop versions of sites. Even with about:debug some sites will not allow it to view the desktop versions. This renders flash useless for me because the reason I wanted flash so bad was because I wanted to watch the Daily Show on my phone. And that website doesn't fall for about:debug while hulu does.
2) can't stand the one blink per 15 seconds notification light rate. (i know this will be remedied soon by some app)
3) can't install HTC_ime keyboard (im sure this will be fixed soon)
4) no pinch to zoom on mobile websites.
5) protected apps like documents to go are not working right. I paid good money for that app and I need it to work. I don't need just a document viewer but an editor. I'm sure that will be fixed soon but its not fun having an app that you paid 15 bucks for not working.
6) the very nice text selection method in the desire port.
7) Sense UI and all the great HTC widgets of course but I can't really fault Froyo for that.
I'll wait for Paul's next desire port with Froyo's additions. Until then I'll stick with r22 of the desire port.

try rotating the phone and then refreshing the page to make it load as desktop view..it worked for me

HTC Sense Keyboard is already working (except the voice to text bit).
Well I just moved from r22 to froyo and I think i will stick to froyo. I really miss the nice large contact photo's, favorites widget and a few other sense stuff, but FLASH 10.1 is a dealbreaker for me. My own website finally looks great on the phone, made it using Flash ofcourse.

my car charger stopped working when i updated to froyo.
i did a nandroid restore to my CM 5.0.6 and it worked just fine.
i dont understand...haha.

Um... I had NO problem watching Daily Show on CC's website. I'm stock.
You just go to the bottom of the "mobile" page and click on "desktop" page, then scroll down the left side and click on full episode under Daily Show.

I don't think pinch to zoom ever worked on mobile sites. That's the whole point of a mobile site! (No zooming needed!)

paul gets a cookie for that owning

If he gets a cookie every time that happens, he's getting fat.

I am unable to get the desktop site to show and I have turned the phone horizontally. Is there something else I need to do?

If it's comedy central, just scroll to the bottom and click on the link for the full desktop site.

That's one way to do it... but it's totally not necessary on CC's site... at least not to watch Daily Show or the Colbert Report. I tested both earlier and no problem. You just need to select the full desktop site from the bottom of the mobile page because the links to those shows doesn't show up on the mobile version.

Yup. The only site I know of requiring that is Hulu.

I'm happy to be corrected and note the corrections, no need to say "owning" and all that..
Anyways, when I did the UAS string fix and went to comedy central, and yes I went to the bottom of the screen to click dektop site or whatever, it worked but it still told me I needed to download flash player even though I already had it and it worked on other sites like dailymotion, and hulu. Maybe I need to try the rotate the screen idea, and I'll be glad if that works. That's good news if it does.
Pinch to zoom on mobile sites like m.facebook.com was helpful, it didn't zoom the whole thing, just made the font bigger, while keeping the same column format. It was useful to me. If it works in this then that's great.
And if the HTC_IME keyboard is having problems with voice to text input, then it's not fully working. I use that feature and find it very handy.
I still feel the text selection method is important as I am often copying and pasting stuff between emails and browser and chats. Its very nicely implemented in the desire port.
And yes I did reinstall docs 2 go multiple times. I know it will be fixed soon if not already, it was just a pain in the ass to first not see any of the apps I have downloaded in my "Downloads" on the market, and then to not have my most expensive app not work right.
And I love the native widgets of the sense UI.
I'm glad to hear that the flash is working and the keyboard are working, this is good news. I still feel that until there is a desire port with froyo capability, I'll wait.

If you need to either documents. You should get a winmo phone. Its why all of mine were winmo before.
But I rarely edited docs.

I went back to 2.1 (Cy's latest 5.0.8) because of:
- speed is really not all that different - at least not in the apps i'm running and the way the unit operates.
- battery life is a bit better
- trackball wake up - c'mon froyo....
- latest 720p video
- picture resize - they are locked in 1.2 mb in froyo...and I can get them as small as 130kb in 2.1
- always liked Cy's roms, anyway. WAiting for his froyo, I'm sure all tweaks will have been worked out - soon

full working google now for ics

ok tried and confirm this to be working on my a500 running flexreaper extreem edition 5.1

Can confirm it works on Evil Alex, but not sure if I get the audio notifications yet.
I was also under the assumption, a pop-up card would appear when near a point of interest.

I think that it takes a few days for it to gather data. Then, when it has enough, and sees a pattern it will start to present you with the cards.
I haven't had it long enough to take, so I don't show cards yet either. But from what I've read that's the deal.

for talkback you need to click the little settings icon in bottom right corner of google now...a whole bunch of settings come up, go to places and set as you like. also check use google.com instead of native to get images with the results cards,.
the google now will recognize after a few days that you leave to go to a certain place each day, then ask if you wanna set it as your place of work, it then starts to give you updates as to when you should leave to arrive on time and such.

That is because of the drawable settings , I noticed this also and I'm trying to fix it , I'm close to solution.
EDIT:
Here you go , this one deletes voicesearch.apk also and installs the Google_Now.apk (Velvet) modded so it only shows a Search icon and mic icon in left corner and not the 2 google icons.
Flash with cwm , it should work on G100W / A500 and A501
This is how it looks now.

Latest YouTube app update fixes the "YouTube bug"

Haven't seen it mentioned yet so: I just got the latest YouTube app update (v. 5.0.21) and it fixes the bug we have had for some time where going to landscape and then back to portrait while watching a video there appears a small "gap" on the upper part of the video between the Youtube video control bar and the Android notification bar.
Frankly it never was a big deal to me, it was fairly trivial in fact, but some people seemed pretty upset about it..
Well, it's fixed and it seems like it wan't much of a Samsung's fault after all.
BTW, as my signature says, this on a: Galaxy Note II (N7100) - from Germany (DBT), carrier-free, titanium gray, 16 GB - stock JB XXDME6 + CF-Auto-Root

The lay out of the new version is great. It feels faster now. The videos are loading faster.

I'm loving the new design of the App!
Thanx to XDA i got it on my device before Google rolled it out to me.
[although it has now been rolled out to me officially also]
:good::good::good:

yes I know and improvements are great..google really listens to us thnxx google..

Am I the only one who doesn't have a video progress bar when in full-screen mode? Also a bit annoying that you can't see the name of the video while in full-screen mode.

Really cool how it keeps playing the video in the corner while you search for another video.

Progress bar works as it has always worked, for me: tap and it appears.

I like A LOT more the controls and the way they are displayed now when you tap in full screen mode, they allow more of the video to still show through. Before, with the solid title bar and solid controls bar, too much was covered.
I don't need to see the name of the video when I am watching it full screen, I only need the progress bar and video controls. If I want to see the name of the video I can always simply rotate the screen without even needing to touch it.
Perfect.

For me, it still lacks the ability to reply to comments (and to set the font size for them) and the "already watched" label on videos like the web version.
The last small touches... it's already a top notch app anyway.

Yes, I have that problem too. No progress bar in landscape mode (running 4.1.1) .

finally

I'm using the new version and today I have experienced the bug. Just like with the old version, a gap has appeared at the top. It was the first time it has happened, so the new version is an improvement but it didn't completely solve the problem.
Happened again, you can see better with the side panel visible:

check the attachment image please !

Usually you click it once and it's gone for good.

Some apps still don't display correctly such as Microsoft Remote Desktop when you tap for entire screen.
Pretty annoying really

Add me to the list of people who find this really irritating! I get it on all my (Nova Launcher) home screens, and in a selection of apps (haven't figured out yet why some apps show it and others don't).
Subscribing to the thread in the hope that somebody will figure out a way to make it go away!

This is quite simple actually:
Go to Settings, then display, then full screen and then toggle all apps to full screen and, voila!

But I don't want the apps full screen, and I have actually toggled them all to OFF in that setting.
Hence I'm annoyed at constantly getting a useless message on my screen.

I am not worried about those... Again some apps do not display correctly in full screen so therefore I don't want to place them in full screen but instead I'm pestered to do it, what was wrong with the bubble notification that came up before?

tap here to fill entire screen
same problem with google phone dialer as it doesnt support full screen...plz help..!how to get rid of tap here to fill entire screen.

For me it just disappears after a minute. For example kodi get stretched if using fullscreen and if I disable fullscreen it disappears.

hope that somebody found the solution

It only appears at new installed apps that are opend for the first time.. after clicking it it never reappears

Yes, this is definitley annoying to be constantly there, and for video apps that aren't optimized for full screen. Like MLB At Bat games are shifted to the left side of the screen with one black bar on the right and it just looks weird. I'd rather have black bars on both sides or at least be able to stretch it out to full screen.

I think the problem is that some apps will not show correctly in full screen mode so anytime I use the app in normal mode there will be a line show " Tap here to fill the entire screen "

Add me also here !!! so annoyed ! !

Add me too

So I am having this issue in Chrome which essentially gives you no back button when browsing. How stupid. So I just figured out that if I scroll to the bottom of a sight, sort of like the opposite of dragging a screen down to refresh, you drag it up from the bottom and you get a black semi circle thing show up. Click on it somehow while it appears and then you get the menu back, but it says double click the dot on the left to make it locked in.
And... it seems to have fixed it across all of my apps, not just Chrome! That's all I have for now.. hope it helps
