[Q] HTC SideBar - Android Software Development

Hello everybody !
This is my first time on the forum so hope i'm in the right place for that question, if not, please let me know!
I'm a beginner in developping app for android, and i have the idea of making an app, for restaurants in my towns, that listing them, their price, print them on the map, etc...
And i would love to have something like the sidebar from htc (that they put in all their app) for switching between different activites like the map, or list of restaurants etc...
Here is some print screen of the htc side bar that i want to reproduce
(from the following app: footprint, friendstream, music, all from htc)

(Ok i'm too new, i can't post images for now, but you can copy paste the links)
What would be specially usefull, is the fact that we can have a lot of icone, more that the screen let us have (It goes out of screen), the animation effect of the bubble going on the icon with a image preview is really cool also!
For now, i tried with tab.... it's pretty ugly, so i think i'm really far from it !
And i try to give a look over google, but wasn't fructuous !
So please, someone have an idea ? or a clue to begin with ?
Or can we find the code of the app since it open source ?
Thanks you for your attention, good evening !

So..... Nobody ?

Timed Wallpaper changer

Hello all,
2 hours of fruitless searching has prompted me to post here.
Does anyone know of a program that will rotate/cycle/change your Today screen background/wallpaper at a time interval? (10mins, etc)
(I suppose I'd pay $10 or so for it?)
Thanks guys!,
Dax.
I use StocksAndWeather for that. Not only does it cycle through your today screen themes, but it's a weather (and stocks) manager too. Gives you weather updates and warnings, but the kicker is that it comes with weather themes and changes the theme based on the weather. So if it's raining outside then the theme will be rain related. If it's snowing then the theme will show snow. It's a pretty neat program. You can also install your own themes to rotate in. Here is the link
http://www.stocksandweathertoday.com/
The weather icons are also animated so it makes your today screen look good, and you can instantly tell what the weather is like outside based on the theme. It's one of my favorites.
Hey there!
Thanks for your quick response!
That's not exactly what I was after, I just want to change JUST the background, not the whole theme. But thanks anyway!
Dax.
Just to register my interest in a utility that can do this. Have been searching for a long time but can't find anything as yet.
There must be something out there.
Thanks
WB
Well it can't be impossible, so yeah, I just wish someone would make it too.
It's such a shame I know nothing about programming.
Anymore on this please? Still looking.
Thanks
WB
Sorry WB, seems like no-one else likes our idea!
Dax,
Unfortunately seems you could be right. These tools are readily available for PC but it seems not for PPC.
Anyway lets not give up the search and if either of us finds something we should let the other know.
I will bookmark this thread for future reference.
Cheers
WB
@dax/wackyB: Guys, I don't need the money. will make something for u guys. am swamped right now by some other thing that i'm trying to do...will see if I get some time before this sunday..shudn't be too hard I think....
G'day mate!
That's very noble of you, thanks for your offer!
Whenever you're ready, just let us know, no pressure
Thanks so much,
Dax.
Theme Manager Plus does this.
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Themes/Theme-Manager-Plus-17547.shtml
Hi PhonePhun,
I believe that program only rotates themes, not wallpapers/backgrounds.
Which would mean you would have to create a seperate theme for every wallpaper you wanted to use.
Besides being inefficient, it wouldn't actually be all bad, but considering you can't create themes with wallpapers that work in both portrait AND landscape configuration, setting a wallpaper is still the best way to go.
Thanks for your input though!
All the best,
Dax.
Shantg001,
That is an EXCELLENT offer, very much appreciated. Let us know when you are done.
More than happy to make a contribution if required as I have been looking for a tool like this for a very long time.
Cheers
WB

[APP] Pandemonium VGA - Themeable Sound Board

Hi, Well I have finally got round to finishing enough of this application to give you a version. Unfortunately all the features I wanted to release are not there but its close enough. Future versions will incorporate these.
This application is basically a sound board with the ability to add user created content.
As before, requires .Net 3.5 CF.
The sample sound themes included in the application are a little weak and could do with some extra ones being created. Post your creations in the thread please
There are two types of themes available, a button theme and an image theme.
The button theme uses positionable windows image buttons to play the sounds.
The image theme uses an image to play the sounds. So for example you would have 2 images one for the background on the application for the user to see and one for the application to use. The overlay image will contain a single block of colour where you want to place a button, this colour is then indexed in the themes XML file. So when you press down on the background the colours are matched and the matching sound played.
The best way to get to grips with the themes is to look at two of the themes I have provided. The XML files are fully commented and quite simple to understand.
Example of ButtonTheme, \content\Roy Walker\RoyWalker.xml
Example of Imagetheme, \content\Mr T\MRT.xml
I am sure there will be bugs, but I wanted to get a release out as soon as possible to get some user created content. Please post any creations on this thread and I will include them in the .cab file with the next version.
Any feedback or suggestions please post on this thread also.
Future features:
Volume Control
More audio support, e.g. mp3 etc
Options to save last theme and other stuff
visual feedback on an Imagetheme button press, perhaps a greying of an area (Simple but havent had the time)
Any way have fun!!
http://www.barkered.com/?download=Pandemonium%20V0.1
Attached are a few screenshots of my bad attempts at themes.
The "wrong" button sound effect is not from catchphrase, but from Family Fortunes. As far as I remember, they didn't have a sound for that. Roy Walker simply said "It's a good guess but it's not right", which for me beeged the question, how is it a good guess then? Anyway, I'm not fussy. It's a great, useless, fun little program. We need more of these!!
Thanks.
Yeah you are right, I was just being lazy! But ah well, hopefully myself or someone else will create a family fortunes theme for it.
I also need to get some more Roy Walker sounds added in, a few people on the forum have given me links though.
Work seems to steal all of my time these days. Stupid work!
Cant wait to try it. Thanks for your hard work.
I can't play any sound when I'm on the phone. Neither I, or the one I'm on the phone with can hear anything.. What am I doing wrongd?
To be honest I never even thought about someone trying to use it during a phone call!
Interesting idea though...
I am slowing working on a few more themes, when I get time during work of course. Unfortunately my artistic skills are a little weak.
But I have created piano theme also, much like the one for the IPhone. Need to create some others also.
I was kinda hoping other people would create some content. It is easy enough
i am up for this....let me know how i can make some themes!
woooohooo
i have made a new theme! (well based on the mr t one supplied)
BETTER SOUNDS AND IMAGE!
i would like to know if someone can tell the screen size the program displays as it is not 480*800 as in the specs (it looses some from header and footer)
if anyone would like the theme i have made please Private message me i will mail it to you (as i do not know how to link)
i am currently working on another FAR TSUPERIOR theme just need the right images and screen size before i mail it out.
about time i found an app that i can have fun with! (like those iphone apps!)
cheers original poster for this!
I there, a have been searching for a while for an application that a could use to make something like the iphone idrummer (because of the daft punk kits) since i dont know how to make one, just modify them.
So here are my versions of Daft Punk "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and "Aerodynamic". Just ad the files to the content file of the application and select them on the application and you are ready to go.
The thing is, they were made for QVGA version (240x320), so for other screen dimensions just modify the size of the background images and buttons, and coordinates also.
Hope you enjoy them (sorry for my possible bad english)
Anyway thanks to the creator of the application, and if anyone could make a new application more suited for a possible version of idrummer for those that dont have a iphone its always welcome
Haha i was just about to come here and ask if someone could port this http://www.noblefart.com/ across from the andrioid but since this sound board is very similar then maybe it could be intergrated into this!!
Is it possible to make it so that someone on the phone can hear the sounds?
This would be then great for prank calls. It would then also be useful to let you set your voicemail message as an mp3 - just dial your vm, choose record greeting and hit the soundboard button...
is there any way u can make a soundboard for family feud?

Opinions and ideas on the upcoming beta!

Okay,
I have this problem where I am never pleased with anything I do, so I keep trying to improve it and improve it even further. The time has come.
I have been coding the new features for my website (www.touch-innovation.com) and here is the list I have thought of and has users suggest via email:
- Live submit (Submit directly onto the site... instantly. With lots of security though )
- Screenshots on category lists
- Download names instead of random hash.
- Add comments to news sections
- And lots of admin panel updates which you don't need to know about
Another thing is, what do you think of the design. Does it need a re-design? Does it need to be minimilsed or what not?
Help me out come on, throw me some ideas!
<3
dude, this sounds great
all of those features sound like excellent additions. good work on the coding
no, the site looks fine the way it is
Why do you want to change that site it's clear easy to use and looks cool
Because people have complained about the fixed backgrounds on the left and right. I was thinking of making them a bit thinner to make more room for content and shiz.
Thanks for your compliments, so you don't have any other feature requests? And the Live sumbmission idea, would anyone use it?
Thanks again
Anyone with a decent knowledge of php drop me a line. I'm having problems editing filenames on the fly (sounds easier than it is trust me, complex scenario).
The one and only thing I'd like to see changed? Not use javascript when clicking on applications to take you to their detail page. I get annoyed when I can't open it in another tab
It only uses javascript for the onhover effect and to make the whole td a link. If you want to open it in the new tab, just right click on the name (which is a hard link, for people without javacript).
It's been like this since first release, I did it just incase of no javascript

I guess I need more specifics, but a nice little loop with the function rename() should do the trick. I am sure you have looked at some resources, but the php.net site is great, here is rename with tons of good examples, some of which I have used in the past:
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.rename.php
Hope this helps, FYI the site looks great!
Gudy
Thanks, rename isn't on the fly though. I'd have to rename it, then let the user download it... wait till the user has downloaded it, and then rename it back. And what hapens if someone else trys to download it in the proccess of this, they'll get a 404 for the file. I'd have to copy to a new location and do it that way. No point, I need on the fly not permanent. Normally I would use the rename function but it's not helpfull in this sutation.
I just need to play with the headers for a while and get them working .
Thanks for your help though
And thanks for the compliments.

hell yeah, I know that feeling...I´m never pleased with my designs as well
And no, it doesnt need a major refresh yet but try to make the background a bit lighter so the whole site gets a bit more contrast. Just lighten up the background by 10-20% or so and show us what it would look like
And tell me if I´m wrong...but "Touch friendly programs for the windows mobile" sounds extremly strange, what about leaving the "the" out ?
regards,
Martin

I didn't understand what you needed, and I think now I do, you want to change the name as someone is downloading a file correct? If so, check this sample out, modify the header section as needed, ie this line:
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$file\"");
you could do any type of processing on the name you need, then just pass the string like above. Here is the link to the rest:
http://apptools.com/phptools/force-download.php
Hope this helps
m.schmidler:
Thanks, I'll try that now. And the "The" bit... Well it makes it sound like it's the only decent phone - aka unlike iphone . Its pronounced th-eee not th-u. So it sounds slightly different.
Get what I mean?
mjg7876:
I've been looking into the disposition header for a while, but the way I currrently download files is quite simple but to interlock these 2 things togeather is complex. Especially considering I will need to do checking, exploding (for the file extension) and redirecting if it's not hosted on the server. I make things too complicated lol.
Thanks for your help guys btw
Anyone else?
Is it me or does the logo from this site in this post look very similar to yours?

Great Site
I love your Site. In my opinion : it doesn't need any re-design.
But i do have one suggestion : it would great to have your tables with worting features.... One could just click on the title of one column and it would be sorted.... Understand what i mean ?
Thank for your work.
Thanks for your kind words
And btw, you can already sort them (programs list only atm). Simply click on the title, download, views, etc. and it will resort.
Try it
BTW: That logo looks like a skeleton version of mine :/. There's everthing thats on mine, just minimilised! What's going on? :/
ATM work is up to my eyes, so I've had to slow down on the development. It's not something I can rush due to security.
Any more suggestions I will be more than greatful

W I N D L Es To Do List

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
bump (Thread updated)

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'.

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.

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?

Is'nt there any today screen that looks like a normal desktop?
The one where you would icons and some widgets like drag&drop clock, weather and stuff?
Is there something like this? If not why?
Is it even possible to something like this to exist?
Would like a today screen like this?
Thanks guys.
As far as I know, Wisbar Advance Desktop pretty much is what you're looking for: http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
It can be customized in many different ways... Here's an example of a heavy modified today screen: http://tk109.matrix.jp/blog/archives/images/WISBarDesktop.gif
[delete post] - how do that? - read below
thank you for your advice.
I tried this app but couldn get enough out of it - although app itself is brilliant...I searched a lot for themes...but couldn't find good ones.
I tried some but they were very function limited and I guess mostly suitable for the creator's needs only...
I did some further research and found stuff like SimpleOS etc..but doesn't work
you can see for yourself: http://simple-os.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
altough it is not comaptible with WM higher than 5. (as you can read from the webpage)
So if anybody finds today screen like I am searching for or skin or solution for this please let know
Thanks.
