[APP REQUEST] MULTI TOUCH ON DIAMOND's Capacitive sensor {Need Developers}

since diamond/fuze has the Capacitive sensor (i'll call it CAPSEN from now on) ...and a seperate touch screen...
why not combine to have multi touch.....maybe you already heard this from me or someone else..but i thought i bring it up anyway...
just like the "PINCH" from iphone....
but 1 finger on the touch screen...and 1 finger on the CAPSEN....doing the PINCH...should zoom out...and zoom in...
On a Picture....
Browser...
Notes...
any other app that has zoom function
and use it as an APP LAUNCHER....for instance...
TOUCH and HOLD the Centre button with the thumb...and swipe UP on the touch screen...brings up dialer?? app launcher?? Voice command??
maybe not just app...but shortcut for Tools...such as
copy/cut/paste/
back/forward (browser)
next/previoius(media)
this is all i can think of now...cuz i'm sleepy so I will come up with a bigger list when i'm awake and fresh....
peace

thought about the same just a day ago

Nice idea, I know there has been talk of multi touch on just the screen, but that is very complicated since if you touch two points on the screen it will actually read the midpoint of the two spots.
Your idea would work like holding a shortcut combo ie: Ctrl + C = Cut
But on the phone we could touch the end call button and the screen and as you move it would zoom out......and enless other ideas!
GScroll uses the touch pad on the bottom and you can assign stuff, but not with the screen....I bet that wouldn't be to hard for the programmer to figure out......

There should be more apps that take advantage of the pad at the bottom just sumthing simple like scroling clockwise and anticlockwise round the ok button to zoom in n out like you can on the txt msg screen would be a gr8 improvement

Was thinking about this too..
What's on my mind was touching the panel to simulate "Shift" and "Ctrl" keys. Hence to be used together with the keyboard to provide functions like "Copy/Cut/Paste" (Ctrl+C/X/V), "Select All" (Ctrl+A), and also to capitalize a letter with the "Shift" function...
If it could be done, i'm sure it will be household program on every Diamond... hmm...

mmm Good Idea!!

!!!!!!!!!
but yah...also i just remembered ..that the CAP sensor is also multitouch.??? ...i remember seeing a youtube vid about that...
if thats the case..we can do so much...like the pinch effect right on the cap sensor....or swipe with two fingers....ahhh the endless features this will give us...every other phone will bow down.....

Indeed, just zoom with two fingers at the mulititouch panel! That's great!
It should be possible to make this app, because they have that kind of application on the blackstone too! (they made an application that makes the bottom panel like a zoom bar, just like the topaz)
I'd donate if it someone makes this application!

I say the same thing..
multitouch for diamond I think is possibile..like this app nobody thought could exist [sorry 4 english]

I was think about it 2 months ago. Not multitouch the captive + screen, But multitouch on captive only (there is video that the captive sensor on diamond was multitouchable ).
I was interested with this idea, but I can't find any sample code for captive sensor (I found some accelerometer sample code), Is there any good reverences/sample code about how to get captive sensor signal/messages with C++?
( I was interested to code it, but not promises to create it )

i wish this actually goess throughhhhh but....we need more support from the rest of the forum users....i guess i have to make this TItle more appealing..hehe

Actually TouchLockPro uses the NavSensor and is written in C++. You can couple commands to capacitive swipes, 8 in total. Also I did make the source code available on sourceforge.

sounds good...I can only do photoshop....i'll try to help anyway i can......
i really would love to have Multitouch on my Diamond.
This will be groundbreaking.....even diamond 2 can't touch this..i think....anyways..
@ZuinigeRijder ---thanx

any (good) news?

I'd love to help
I would love to help but.....
I don't know any programing or any photoshop, can someone teach me something? I really want to help the community but I don't know how

multi touch not really multi touch
I might be wrong but i was thinking that the diamond doesn't actually have multi touch, it's more like having 4 touchpads that all work at the same time. The left part with the home and the dial button, the wheel, the center button, the right section with the back and end call buttons. That may explain why the touch interface is so slow...

Touch Screen Tweak

Hey does anyone knows how i can tweak my touch pro 2 screen to make it more sensitive? thanks

i don't think you can, it has probably something to do with the hardware.

Have a look at Advanced Configuration Tool -- it has settings under HTC TouchFLO for Finger Pressure and Pressure Threshold -- don't know if this will make any difference, but it sounds good.

i think aligning the screen from the settings menu does that

tried the advance thing no good man i want my screen to be more responsive and sensitive

there is a registry key that you can change to do this that works, i cant remember from memory, Try searching

I see on your sig you are using photon ROM, have a look on tools-tweaks and open WVGA tweak, scroll down and you´ll see a section to adjust sensibility.
Hope it helps,

well the finger pressure is normal but it said intermediate as advised soo is there anything else?

when u align the screen use the stylus and touch it very lightly the screen remembers how soft u touch it so just barely touch it it works 4 me my screen is very sensitive try it

"Advised" means just that, that its the default normal advised setting.
Just make it a little more sensitive a setting and try it out

change Button LEDs

Hi there,
can anyone explain me how to get access to the control of the "Button LEDs"?
I know there must be a way because in Android those LEDs are glowing for example when you touch a button. At WM they only glow if you PRESS a button or touch the scroll wheel.
Thank you in advance

+1 here, that would be a nice option too

OK, what exactly do you all want? Buttons that light up on touch? is that all?
I'm brainstorming on ideas for my next version of X-Sense, so.... be creative!
Cheers

That would be a first step. The default settings (light up all LEDs on button press or on scroll wheel touch) is just stupid.
The next step could be something like use the sensors on the buttons as extra buttons or use the LEDs as indicatiors for diffrent stuff. The scroll wheel for example seems to have 3 or more diffrent LEDs as Backlight. This could be used to indicate the battery status.

Customizable options for the so the lights can follow your touch when scrolling ?
Not practical but it would look good

But how could we interact with the sensors?
I dont think they land somewhere in the message queue of windows mobil. I think we have to rewrite the driver which is responsible for them. But maybe I'm wrong, because I don't have a lot of experience with the windows Mobil API. I prefer managed code like C#.

As far as I understand, the center of the dpad is the only part of the hardware that has the capability of sensing when you touch it. The only way you are gonna get the other buttons to respond is with a button press unless you modify the hardware.

try the latest version of xdandroid. if u thouch for example the back key, it glows.
so, no. every button has a sensor on it

Just so we're all on the same page, the entire area below the screen is a touchpad, it is sensitive to touch & motion - there is an app that implements this very nicely as both a touchpad and touch launcher/Task Mgr. My xsense app already interacts with button lights to show several events (i.e. stylus out, volume profiles).

OK Sorry! I have the cdma diamond on sprint so I didn't know the other versions(gsm) had touch sensative buttons! My d-pad is that way but the others are not. Forgive my ignorance.

Y'all should check this app out; I'm not in league with the developer, but I recognize his talent on this one. Its an amazing app that does all of the above and more - and there's a trial version:
http://mobilesrc.com/gscroll2.aspx

this app looks nice.
Is anyone out their who can explain me how to catch the events of button-touch area?

Google for Koushik's sensors.dll library; it comes with sample apps etc...

in his libary is only a event for the rotation of the scroll wheel...

touch lock pro
As I know, app called "Touch lock pro" can do some settings with the ring LED's, so this can be the way

[Q] Customizable Trackpad Gestures

So Windows 8 is built for touch screens but why can I not do anything besides two finger scrolling?
So my question is is there a way to get like 4 finger app switching or to slide the window seperator left and right. or like a 3 finger down to go to the start bar or slide my finger down the right/left side of the trackpad to bring up that bar instead of going to the top of the respective side and dragging down?
I want these really bad (figure it probably won't happen) just putting my ideas out there

If your trackpad has updated drivers it should be able to do the following:
-Two finger scroll
-One finger scroll if the trackpad has this capability
-Swipe from the right edge to bring up charms
-Swipe from the left edge to switch recent apps
-Swipe from the top to bring up the right click menu in metro interface
-Anything else your trackpad normally does (ex: chiral scrolling, rotation, zoom, three finger flick)

woah woah woah ok ok ok I have synaptics and have tried to update the drivers through device manager and it actually downgraded me and the driver I downloaded from synaptics wasn't the most updated either I think, could you point me in the right direction? thanks

Yes please! I just looked at the synaptics website again and saw all of the features JihadSquad was talking about but there was no download link

actually http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/technology/windows8 will be out tomorrow when windows 8 comes out

Thank you man!

So those drivers won't install on my pc they'll extract and then from there nothing. I can't find any information on google in regards to a more updated driver. Mine is currently from march of last year 15.2.20.0 v7.4 and I believe the most updated is v8.2 which to my understanding is the windows 8 driver with the added functionality. I'll keep digging thanks anyway!

They install fine on my Notebook, so they must be specially packaged for Toshiba then.

[Q] Touch input so bad with vaio duo 11

The touch input in this device is so bad i have to use my stylus pen to browse webs(i can never touch the back page button on google chrome instead it touches the forward page button instead),close programs(touch the top of the screen and pulling it down never works), opening the charm bar(swiping my finger from the right of the screen to the left never works too).
I tried calibrating it by searching calibrate on the charm bar's search feature but they doesn't work as well.
Any way to fix this? Its getting so annoying because i can't use the touch screen feature at all because its not precise.

Make sure your navigation gestures start from the black bezel of the Vaio then onto the touchscreen. You can use the calibration tool, change pen and touch settings, and change double clicking of objects to single tap to make the experience better. I'm not sure if the registry change to make touch more responsive for surface rt applies to your Intel tablet.

I'm with @vinscuzzy on this one... generally speaking I detest Sony products, but this sounds like a defective unit more than anything else. I'm not sure what you mean by "calibration doesn't work as well" (grammar, people: it conveys meaning). but if you can't fix this yourself, I would definitely suggest you take it back to wherever you got it.

When i use the calibration settings whenever i try to touch the cross it shows the input to be slightly on the right. i can't even close apps or use the multitasking. Closing tabs is hard or even clicking on links on google isn't accurate at all.
I bought this machine overseas and it isn't even out in my country so replacing it is too much of a hassle.

I almost considered it. But found there is a problem with the drivers, especially with Photoshop supposedly MS and Sony are using a specific driver but its not compatible with certain apps that use a different format of driver like Photoshop for touch.
The driver developers as far as I'm aware via googling don't seem interested in fixing this issue due to cost and/or it being niche market. Maybe try other software, I hope you don't have faulty system
