Diamond like photo viewer

Hi does anyone extracted the photoviewer application that is there in the diamond main screen which has a finger scrolling option for HTC touch devices.. This looks awesome.. check the screenshot below and the video here.. Sorry I searched a lot for this, but no luck.
Sorry if it is a wrong thread.. Please feel free to remove it if not appropriate.

Thanks Radical. But I have tried this, it doesn't give the option that we get in this viewer.. It's Photo contacts is very good and it's like Diamond one, but not the photo viewer. I am really looking for the one in the video.. It's really awesome, you can use the finger scrolling from the main screen to swipe thru the photos.

It is most likely that your device won't support it anyway... TouchFlo 3D is very graphics intensive...

look for htc album. that is what is in the diamond.
there should be a qvga versin available.

Thanks guys
Thanks guys for all your help in providing me with so many options.. I tired all the links you have suggested and most of the applications posted in XDA.. Thanks to all the developers and contributors for the lovely softwares.. Almost all the softwares worked in my phone & I love them.. But still none of the Picture viewer softwares gave me the function that I have seen in the video.. I will keep trying it.. I am pretty sure that someone will come up with this.. I will wait... again I appreciate your help

Actually i did a test like that for pictures first, but it isnt very usable.
I think that feature in Daimond is just to show, not really to use regularly. I prefer the Camera album to view pictures because you can see all the photos in a list and then choose from one.
It can easily be done in flash but the finger motion effects have a problem with the current 'players', if you press the screen and dont release it for a second only, it pops up the "about flash" window.
Still, if you use simple buttons instead of finger motions, like I did for my flash contact list, all you need is a ouside program to list all the images in \storage card\my documents\my pictures (or whererver) to a xml or txt file, then the flash would read all the picture names as variables and present them in that kind of slideshow (or even better animations, like 3d cubes turning or fade-ins) . Do remenber that the 'photo turn 3d effect' would slow things down.
So, depending on the speed of the pocket pc model it would be slow, it isnt very slow on my dual because it has 400 mhz, but there are a lot of models out there with 200mhz...
Also, for some reason, the flash lite engine works faster but has more bugs reading images than the flash 7 engine. :/
And then it comes back to the today plugin, the only good current one is from the Throttle author but it only has one hardcoded size, he is doing a better one, and THAT one I cant wait for... it sounds as good as melted cheese!

That's exactly what I am looking at.

IT's wonderful work twolf, and that is exactly what I am looking at... Will it be possible to post a cab file of the one in the video.. So that I can test and use it on my phone.. I have seen your website and is pretty impressive.. Will it be possible to share the work that you have done here.. So that all of us can enjoy it..

Thats not dependant of me, just of the trotthle author, sorry, like I said I gave that to him.
But after he releases his new plugin, I'll be sure to make a lot of flash goodies for everyone, always releasing the sourcode, because, as I said, I'm a iilustrator, not a programmer, and Im sure others can do so much more.

thanks Twolf

Thanks Twolf.. I tried this before and I am trying the Tempus V13 now..It works perfect, but the till still skips by 1 sec every 2 secs and becomes very slow during skip.. And also takes lots of memory around 3-4 MB on my HTC Touch... Which is a lot for my phone.. . is there is a work going to reduce this... I can't wait !!! for Throttle author to release new version.. ..Tempting

Actually the skipping is good, it does skip sometimes but thats my way of making sure the time is always correct. Otherwise the minutes could change before the seconds reached 59.
The slowness is really because of the 200mhz of the touch, sorry...
As for memory, thats flash...
Maybe in the next version of throttle since the weather and clock are separated and in flash lite, they may become faster, time and tests will tell.

Thank you Twolf
Thanks Twolf.. This is a great application and I am currently trying Throttle launcher works great on my Touch.. Thanks for all you guys work.. Fantastic... Hope to see more from you.. thank you..

anyway to get normal android keyboard?

just like the title says. i can't stand the default hero keyboard anymore. yes i've tried to calibrate and it drives me crazy. i'm looking to get the normal android keyboard.

GOOD GOD!!! Why would you want that thing on your phone?!?! lol To each his own, but have you tried better keyboard or touchpal they are very good, I like them both more than the HTC_IME. I can see why you might want the regular keyboard though wish I could help more. Having you tried pulling the apk out of a standard android rom and just installing, couldnt hurt to try right?
disclaimer: if you try and it hurts, I am sorry but not responsible

haha. yeah i've tried better keyboard and it's not really that much better. good call on the touchpal, i've had success with there winmo keyboard so i'll try that. if that isn't to my liking how would i pull out the apk from a standard android rom or can you at least point me to the right direction?

Try the dream forum go to Google and search xda Dev dream and it should be the first result. Then download a custom rom and unzip the file and you will have to look through I can't remember the location, unless someone would like to chime in with some help. Then put the apk if its in that form on your sd and click on it from the phone using a file manager from the market, Linda works great. Not sure if its that easy just giving you ideas of where to start. Beware that most custom dream roms replace the standard keyboard with htcime. Hope I helped a little.

ok awesome thanks! i'll give that a try. also do you have any idea why touchpal is not in market?

I think that the best keyboard out there is the HTC "Compact QWERTY" that ships with the Hero. Lighting fast.

cyanogen roms rock BUT!!! NEED TO ADD HTC_IME.APK

This is my 2nd night trying to get the htc_ime.apk to work in my girlfriend's g3, and mine too. after i updated the phone to the 4.2.8 cyanogen roms from the cm-updater both thc_ime. keyboards don't work it forecloses. so 2 nights and now i downgrade it to 4.2.7 and it works just fine, other thing is like when im in the browser with the 4.2.8 roms afer pressing home to check text it takes like 5 secs to go adding wallpapers and pictures frames does the same thing. cyaonogen you rock and nothing by respects for you my friend but could you please add this app to all your roms????

Why are you posting this here ?

HTC IME is not included in Cyanogen's ROMs because he only includes parts which he has express permission to distribute, since the whole Google fiasco. Since the HTC IME is closed source and riped from a Hero dump he doesn't have permission to distribute it. He will most likely never include it again.

Check torrents and see if u can grab it there, i dont have it or id put it on a upload site for ya.

SWYPE!

Swype has just been leaked for android, and it's awsome!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLwxIwMFzR4
How to install:
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/12/30/how-to-get-swype-on-android/
Now to my question:
I am from Denmark, but there is no danish dictionary available. Would it be possible to either install a danish dictionary somehow (Can't find out where they put the dictionaries in the .cap...) or to just make a HUGE list of danish words in the "User dictionary" somehow?

This version will not work for MT3G or G1 users. Screen resolutions do not match.

I assume we would need to change the resolution values in at least SwypeScreen.ini found in "/assests/files/" in the apk and resize the images in "assests/keyboards/"
What are the g1/mytouch portrait and landscape resolutions anyways?
Files are 854*256, and 480*320 for the kb skins. We also have 24*24, 19*19, and 15*15 for some icons.
*edit* I tried resizing one of each the kb skins in gimp, I've got 480*144, and 320*213 that looks about right don't you guys think?*edit*

480x320, landscape is 320x480

And I vote that we combine all the various threads:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614363&highlight=swype
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609496
and probably others...

I went with the ratio above for the files, but no go. Installed fine, but complained about wrong resolution. I'll try resizing now to more exact proportions which should be 480*171 (for the droids 852*256) and 320*180 (480*320).
I still haven't found another file that talks about resolutions either, also maybe I have to change the file names to represent the updated size, though I don't think that should matter.

So there's a Swype build that got out with a leaked Magic RUU. I managed to get it installed on my myTouch 3G and partially running. Installation is complicated by the need to install a library to /system/lib (so only rooted devices need apply right now).
If anyone manages to get the Swype-based input to actually output, or figure out the build.prop changes to make the annoying messages go away, please let me know. I'm not going to have the chance to mess with it this weekend so I figure I might get people started.

I was also looking at that, but I guess I'm having the same results you are. Personally, no error messages, but the keyboard doesn't show up at all.

What makes SlideIT superior to Swype, what can SlideIT offer me that swype can't?

here is a link for the swype.apk for the mytouch/g1 www dot mediafire dot com/?kymmewehmjz
sorry new users cant post links replace dot with (.) and install using astro or another file manager

i have this working on a htc touch hd running android thru haret it works great but does come up with the error but thats fine for me i can type soo fast now!

As what I understand, SlideIT is available in the market so its easier to get it, Swype is harder to attain

HTC IME with Speech to Text

Hello!
Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I searched for it and could not find any info, although I swear I read a post about it the other day.
Anyway, where can I get the HTC IME with the Text to Speech function? Im on Tainted Vanilla and want to add that IME to it..
thanks.

I posted this the other day but it didn't seem like anyone cared.

I took the HTC_IME keyboard with voice input from the leaked myTouch Slide ROM and to my surprise it worked on the Eris. The only problem I've noticed is the user dictionary will crash when you try to open it. If someone would like to fix it that would be great.
While I think you're better off with jonasl's HTC_IME mod I think some people may prefer this.
Download HTC_IME-vi.zip (mirrors)
Download HTC_IME-vi-undo.zip (mirrors)
Copy HTC_IME-vi.zip to your sdcard and flash it as you would any other zip.
Flash HTC_IME-vi-undo.zip to get rid of this keyboard and go back to the default HTC_IME.
I don't know what will happen if you use this on a ported Hero or other custom ROM. I can tell you that it works on a plain rooted ROM.
* Mod EDIT *
Picture removed until a more suitable, less offensive picture is chosen.

Are you looking for the vanilla keyboard? It's here http://android.grdlock.net/ under the extra's section

I downloaded and installed the HTC_IME Mod and when I went to use it for the first time I got a security message saying that any text entered including conversations, passwords, and credit card information can be recorded and sent to the developer.
I am deleting it right away ! ! !

That's the default message you see when you install a keyboard. You'll see the same thing if you try Swype. But don't install if you're not comfortable

Ohh, I see. I am new to all this.. So this program can not capture that information then? What is Swipe?

I suppose in theory it could, but the one I posted is straight from an HTC ROM and the HTC_IME mod has the source available. If there was anything fishy in it someone would've spotted it by now. This is Swype.

It means you would flash it like any other zip through the recovery menu. This is only for rooted phones.
