Hello to all,
Just found this site and I'm really impressed! This is definitely what the internet is all about; the free exchange of ideas and spreading the love worldwide =)
I have a request for the GURUS; I am visually impaired and hate using the clumsy & cumbersome magnification tools available for WM6 (even mobile speak/mobile magnifier are booty at $90/each!).
My plan is to install Touch-it (how cool is that!!!!) and the other assorted goodies available for my new wing but was wondering if anyone has designed a theme for low vision/easy viewing?
To be honest I would be happy with larger, bolder fonts and easy to read coloration (black on white background or similar) can anyone recommend a theme or possibly help making one for me?
All help & suggestions are welcome, and links are great because searching through threads with my vision can be frustrating or near impossible at times.
Thanks to all & keep up the good work
Please forgive the jumbo text. Looking to make life easier.
I wanted to post since you've gotten 20+ views and no replys. Annoying when people read what you have to say and offer no insight.
I cruise a lot of the different app sites and forums; I haven't seen anything other than the large start menu mod that ttran implemented on a version of his open touch rom so far. You should post this up in the Herald Mobile 6 forum so that perhaps a cook or two might see this and have some ideas for you.
In the mean time, if I come across anything worthwhile, I'll dig the thread up and let you know.
Peace out
Cool deal,
I'll try over there and I'll check out the TTran mod =)
I've been looking for some decent rlToday, and/or UltimateLaunch themes but it seems like their scarce and skattered everywhere. Does anyone know where I can find some good themes? The few that i've found searching through this forum, didn't really interest me. Im hoping someone can direct me to a some nice ones. Thanks
what kind of themes are u exaclty looking for?
Please! So much detail! Gives me a headache...
I'm looking for a good windows mobile phone. Which is best?

You will probably have to be a little more specific as to what you consider "nice" themes. Just do a simple search and start browsing through the threads/posts until you find something that you like. I even believe that there is a sticky with UltimateLauncher themes, icons, and stuff...
This is one of the better looking themes i've seen..

I would love to have that theme, but I dont think he's put out anything on it.
As far as a general idea of what kind of themes I may be interested in.. Windows Vista Style themes more specificaly but Im open to other great themes such as the one above.
@MODS and all users:
A PANEL development SUFORUM should be a great place to share SONY PANELS SDK info and experiences
As with other HTC phones, I have seen apps and ROMs populating the forums, but we are omitting the whole idea behind the XPERIA CONCEPT: PANELS !! I know it is a novel concept (panels itself), but XDA DEVS should lead the pace Ain't ??
I have seen some excelent panel-developing posts starting to pop up recently, like THIS ONE, but a DEDICATED PANELS DEVELOPING SUBFORUM would boost production thru the typical xda-devs knowledge exchange and sharing
Please consider this possibilities, share your ideas, and thanks for reading
Yea I agree, I would like to get back into a little developing but an area where everyone can share Panel development tips/experiences etc would be great.

That's what I mean: a place to talk just pannels
I think it would be a very logical subforum.
Mods?
Maybe not only for panel development but for all software dev/tweaks.
the current (non rom) forum is too cluttered with non-dev questions, cracks in cases etc.
it's getting harder by the day to get proper tech information and problems solved..
I second that!

Yea I feel the same. I have read the X1 forum on here since it started and have found it very helpful. It does seem a bit cluttered with noob questions etc, to filter out the general discussion from the Panel/Software development would be really helpful.
I'd rather have the standard Apps and themes, panels can intergrate into that happily. Then this first one can be for people who forget that this isn't a helpline.. I meant for general questions.
It's a format that works across the site so why not change what works?
I've not seen enough discussion on panels to say it merits a subforum yet. Maybe a couple of stickies would suffice for a while?
If you need an extra (sub) mod for it, let me know..
I'd really like to have a nice place to discuss about panels (and apps?) DEVELOPMENT only
Other forums (check blackstone) DO have separate sub-forums for this purpose
Thus, general questions go to te "general" Blackstone subforum and not in the "DEVELOPING" subforum
But what do MODERATORS think about this ??
Tnyynt ? Alltheway ? Equinox ?
What do you think about my proposal ?
IMHO, I think it's time for the XPERIA to have a PANELS AND APPS DEVELOPMENT subforum
it's will be very useful place
I think it's a great idea, especially considering the present state of panel development. imo anything that can be done to help facilitate developers should be.
It can only be a good thing, right?

Yupp. I hope their are ppl who actually want to do this though.
awesome idea !!
first project suggestion - modify the Media Panel to incorporate a home screen, weather and messaging. Would be great to have an SE version of TF3D
I think that a Software, Themes, & Panels sub-forum is definitely possible. I think it's very unlikely that there will be a whole sub-forum devoted to it. Additionally, i'm not convinced that as far as development goes that a stickied thread wouldn't suffice if it was designated for developers. I of course could be wrong, but seeing as how TF3D doesn't even have a sub-forum, i'm gonna say it's unlikely that panels will.

Yes I had that same idea:
Why port TF3D when a similar Xperia panel could be created ??
I've been trying (trying...) to learn a little about panels, but I really miss a dedicated place/thread/subforum/whatever to READ MORE and LEARN MORE and share knowledge -INPUT, I NEED INPUT
I'll start a thread in the mean time
I've been lurking on these forums for a couple of years just grabbing the odd file here and there. First I had a Universal, then a Polaris and now an X1. I've found myself getting a lot more involved with the technical aspects of my handsets and Panels was a contributing factor in my decision to get the X1.
I have a basic introduction to programming and yet I came up with a launcher panel in a short time today. Okay, so I had to use the "compiler" at mysonyericssonblog.com but it was almost no effort to come up with a HTML launcher for an application along with it's panel graphics. If a relative novice like me can come up with something, then we're going to get snowed under here with custom panels in very short order.
I agree with gtrab about TF3D... X1 owners should run it as a panel because "our" phone has the ability and we're giving ourselves the option to change the interface in a few seconds. I personally think the cross-pollination of Blackstone apps/interfaces with the X1's can only lead to good things.
I think somewhere for discussion about panels and launchers is a very good idea. If we don't get all the panel discussions collected together, we're going to lose them in the tide of people after free tech support for their shiny phone. I don't mind trying to help out where I can, but I spend more time poring through the XDA-Dev forums than all my other "daily" sites combined.
At the moment I spend most time rebuilding (not only reskinning) the tfl3d interface (which is indeed a panel!)
By know I know there are 3 places of this forum where there is info about it
-Development and Hacking
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
-Themes, Applications and Software
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474
- and burrried in the x1 forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=436
the blackstone fora does have a 'themes, applications and software' subdevision which separates the crap from the useful things.
if we could get one of those (with the same name) we can separate the creation and alterations from the problem solutions and daily chit chatter.
please..please..please
I would also like to see this at some point.
Still nothing on the SE site regarding new panels...plus the total lack of games/apps that work on the x1.
Its a real shame, dont want to compare it to the iphone...but it has such a wide variety of games & apps in such a short time. I understand its diff for winmo (due to different handsets, specs etc)...but I notice some winmo apps are setup so it automatically goes full screen...which gets me thinking why arent they all like this?
Again, I know apple check all the apps and anybody can make apps for winmo (which is party a good thing)...just seems a bit of quality control wouldnt go a miss.
I also read somewhere MS is setuping up an app store similar to apples...reaaaaally looking forward to that!
Currently I only have a few actually useful apps on my phone
TomTom
Core Player
GAlarm
The rest just seem so...meh!
Any suggestions (

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'll post it here anyway (sorry if I'm doing this wrong).
I'm looking for someone to help me create a GIF Creator Tool for Android. To begin with its will be an extremely simple and easy tool to use, with basic features.
Once the project gets running, I would like to introduce a multitude of other features to make this app stand out from the countless others.
I know that there are websites out there that allow people like me to find developers for projects like this, but I've been a member on XDA for sometime and I've witnessed how many talented people frequent the forum, so I decided to start my search here.
So there you have it! Details are very sparse right now I know but please feel free to ask me any questions of your even remotely curious about what I want to do.
Thanks!
