Didn't realize at first that you were speaking about the password screen, thought it's the sim PIN screen. Anyways, it would be nice to have a similar style to the one where you enter your sim PIN
See pic below

Password Screen
Thats a great idea guys

I have been thinking about that since the first time I saw the screen. I hope someone can point you in a direction - and since you (DinoZ1) are a designer, then... all the better.

Also the skin of the pin screen would look nice on the calculator.

*bump*
I also like the idea of a darker password screen very much, would make it more difficult for others to see what you are typing, too.

I was looking for something like. Even in it's basic form.
How do you enable this? (Im assuming this is for when the phone comes out of standby and you need to put in a password to unlock the phone right? )
A cool interface would be cool...
Thx.

To enable this, go to Start--settings--lock and make the desired changes.

Thanks Chris Cross...
Yikes, that is one ugly screen....If someone does write something for it, please keep an Enter button instead of having to press the unlock button...
Thx!

PLEASE

Have been searching as well but maybe the password screen is not made of images,... it could be made of background colour and text...
What do you think ?

That could likely be the case. If you change the theme in windows (for example to the red Guava one), that password screen also changes colors accordingly. On the other hand, the sim password screen stays the same (as far as I know). So, it might be that the phone lock screen is indeed made up of designated colors and text (matching the given theme) and not made up of images.

Does that mean that we have to deal with this ugly password screen forever
please say no...

another wierd thing about the pin-password screen
is that it pops behind s2su, and winterface or at least it's transparent
I have to hit the keys Blind....
the keys appear when you hit them but are itherwise hidden

No, they just added a new window, I had this program and I have the password lock enamble, when I had that program installed I get 2 password screen each time that I want unlock the phone.

Install Dutty's ROM - there is a new password entry screen. Very nice
I'm sure it's on other newer ones too, but I only have experience with Duttys.

Widnows Mobile Tooltip Replacement

Hello,
First of all, I hope am posting in the correct location. Anyways, in windows mobile, we receive different tooltips, ex: call summary report from the provider, credit report, and many others, the ones am talking about are the tooltips that appear on the top right corner of the screen.
These tooltips are so annoying since the buttons they carry are totally not finger friendly. After using "Yota Phone" on my HTC Touch Pro, i noticed that they mapped/changed the default tooltips with the title "PHONE" with their own nice finger friendly one.
Is there any program that does such a thing? searched a lot and couldn't find any. If nobody knows a program that does this, can someone tell me what are the commands/code of those functions/events? maybe i would do a small application for that one.
Thank you

Find me a cure, please doc?
This is an awesome idea!!! I too am suffering from sausage fingers syndrome

I'm not exactly sure how this could be done but I there is another application on XDA that changes the way our Context Menus look. He does is via dll injection and my guess is that that is how to do this also.

This would be awesome, I hate those little popups as well!!!! Maybe you could ask francarl (creator of FingerMenu), your idea sounds similar to what he did.

thank you m.schmidler. I was thinking about how to replace standard tooltip. It will be very useful if someone finds which is the Win32 API (if exists) that opens the tooltip!

I would totally use this! Anyone wanna pick this up?

Great to see you guys interested in this idea, but wish someone could actually implement it. If only creators of "Yota Phone" would reply. Since they successfully changed the "Phone" tooltip.
If only they share the knowledge. already posted a question regarding this matter on their thread, but no replies on that so far.

I will look into this as soon as I get some time. I'm working on wFacebook for now but as soon as I release a new version (hopefully by this weekend) i'll do some research and post my findings.

Add me to the list of the intrigued.

while you're at it, could you have a look at the default windows popups as well? you know, the ones with that incredibly tiny and impossible to hit ok thingy in the top right corner? even *with* a stylus it is annoyingly hard to press ok.

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/ToolTip_Class.aspx or http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/02/15/373120.aspx do there help any? I am not a programmer! so if they don't help at all!

Thank you very much computerjunkie, wish you finish the wFacebook program and while i test that for you, you'd do everyone a favor with this program idea
Cheers mate

i hope this will change from within the OS itself in the coming WM 6.5 or at least WM 7. microsoft should hire you, francarl, or buy your FingerMenu code

I mean the standard "Are you sure" type of popups, the square ones in the middle of the screen with the impossible to hit tiny square OK 'button'.

Oh, yeah those too are so damn annoying!
If there are things that amaze me in pocket pc they are the following:
1. PPCs are more than 10 years old, and we still have THAT FEW RAM with SUCH SLOW PROCESSOR?
2. A message to Microsoft, WTF are you doing? We here at XDA can create a better OS with MUCH smarter tools and you as an enterprise suck that much in your own OS?
Hope we get a fix / program for the tooltip AND those middle confirmation messages, like the one that appears when you try to shut down the device. Buttons are non user friendly and still needs a stylus. Idiotic menus/tooltips.
Cheers

Any updates?

[APP][2010/07/02]AppGrouper, a simple catagorised app launcher

Hi!
I'm a longtime lurker, ever since I got my Touch HD when it first came out and I NEEDED to have an english rom instead of a dutch one. Thanks to this place, my phone runs exactly how I want it to (most of the time ).
Except for a decent app launcher. I HATE the win6/6.1 scrollist ones, allthough the startmenu after that sucked a little less. I liked the yotacenter launcher, but in the end I just ran out of space and had to hit the "all apps" button too often and scroll through a huge list.
So I wrote my own in c# under .net 3.5.
And, seeing as I got all my tweaks and fixes from you guys, I thought I should give something back; in essence a quick and dirty app launcher which does exactly what I want: organise the programs I use the most.
It's a catagory per page, has menu, contextmenu and top-scroll-bar driven UI and you can add your own background:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I wrote it to be as device independant as I knew how, but I've really only tested it on my Touch HD1, so I'm really curious as to how it runs "in the wild" (or even on any other HD ). To save some effort, I've just packaged the .exe, which should run from any location. If it doesn't, \Program Files\AppGrouper\ should do it.
It should come with a default background and an icon...for this initial release [call it a beta] I didn't create a cab, so you'll have to copy/edit an existing .lnk file to get the program to show up in the windows\startmenu\ .lnk files so you can use a launcher to launch my launcher (yeah, I get the irony ), or just start the app from the exe.
Anyway, as I said this is the first application I'm releasing to the public, so please give me some feedback I have no idea what "unknown unknowns" this app'll run into on different machines than my emulator and my own Touch HD. The only deletion the program can do is to a specifically named .xml file it generates itself, so it should be safe enough
PS: as I was entering the tags to this post, I realised that this type of software could have been made and released many times: I've only used MS's launcher and the yotacenter one, so any ideas and/or other similarities to other launchers is coincidence and a case of simultanious devellopment (or in my case, retarded devellopment ). Again, any feedback is appreciated, from bugs to implementation to "you've totally ripped off x!". 'Cause I didn't, but I'd like to know about x
Anyway, I hope someone can use this!

Nice apps. The Title Folder box ought be longer to fit the text

Hehe
Ok, so I guess I'll have to set up an auto resize routine for the textsize and the textbox ... check back in a day or two
BTW, what device did you use this on? I'm curious to know if the program works correctly on devices other than touch hd's, too.

Thanks

Thanks for sharing!

I think mortbutton can do better than this
Ok app. thanks for sharing
By default can you pick up start menu and folder under it as group?
Else I think mortbutton can do far better job than your program. + .netcf 3.5 requirment

Thanks for sharing it. Few things I noticed
while trying to add an to a folder a drop down menu reveal 3 options - the first one is to add an app, what is the second one? it is blank on my tp2?
after running an app it stays in memory. is this how you designed it? i would prefer if it closed after running an app
finally, can you list here launchers that you came across that are standalone apps, meaning they do not sit in memory or eat CPU. i am looking for something like that with folders/tabs like yours and self-close after use.

thanks for sharing. i have one single question. i have installed it on my herald, but i cannot add more then one app to a group. am i missing something?

Sweet launcher! Thank U
I like your application!
As being an anti manila user Until now I was addicted to Program Finder plugin (attached) running on the Today Screen. Unfortunately the Today Screen does not have the SIP toggle in the bottom bar plus sometimes the Today Screen needs a refresh, due to Program Finder being an very old program; its messing up the Today Screen.
Therefore I searched the whole internet and finally after searching for 1 year I found [attachment]ToggleInputPanel.exe[attachment]. I'm executing programs via icons by running Easy Today Launcher.
Your application is a welcome alternative, thanx again! o/~

[BOUNTY][PAID] null keyboard w/ toggle widget on-screen (soft) keyboard

i have a mini Bt keyboard for my cappy, hate the on-screen (soft key) keyboard poping up when a hardware keyboard is present.
ive seen many people looking around for this too, IM WILLING TO PAY!
a simple way to "possibly" do this,
for win mo they had a "null keyboard" (blank keyboard) that could be installed and switched to, to "hide" it.
a widget that will toggle input method could accomplish this if with a blank keyboard to install as well.
other thoughts...
something else i came accross dont know if it helpls..
http://www.androidsnippets.com/how-to-remove-focus-and-hide-the-on-screen-keyboard
So far I will personnaly put up $10, anyone else want to sweeten the pot? PAID!!

Done!
Install it and you will get an extra Keyboard "Null Keyboard v2".
Select it as input method and your good to go .
Let me know if it works.
First one is just the Keyboard
The second one is the Keyboard + Widget
Edit: Added 2nd version with Widget.

Done! it works, money SENT!,
i just have some suggestions for re-finement, so its nice and pollished!
i see the widget isnt necessary as you can long click any dialog box to bring up the "select input method" window. however, could you make the widget bring up that selection window instead of locale and text?
and on first "placing" widget on desktop, a pop-up comes up telling you to enable NullKey2 in "local and text".
as far as function, i have no more suggestions, maybe color options? you could select a color in the same window that pops up (i suggested) to tell user to enable in local and text...
with those changes it would definately be worth .99 at least on Android market.

for anyone following this thread, it is still under very quick development and all further versions will be available on the market from Dark3n !
here is a screenshot of the latest version (my personal name version)
this should be in the market next month according to Dark3n.

Might want to point out it's the creator who is selling it. I was a bit confused at first
Neat idea for an app though. Kudos to both you guys.

the creator usually does sell their work. and was stated he would. there arent many pages to follow...

Is there any way to disable the blank area from coming up?

try PM ing him and are you using the market version or the tester version in this thread?
and what blank area?

hey that mini keyboard you posted a few pages back looks freakin AWESOME.
Do you have any more information on it by chance besides 'mini bt keyboard' from eBay?
and does it come out of that case?

yup right here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926600&page=3
page 3 and 4

Would it be feasible to add the possibility to still have the dictionary prediction/correction for what you type with the external keyboard while using Null Keyboard?

( Tap here to fill the entire screen )

i want to hide this stupid option after last update
( tap here to fill the entire screen ) .
specially when i use Pworamp music.

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
