[GUIDE] Defining/Creating Triggering Actions Gestures easier - Galaxy S II General

Hi folks!
This thread will guide you on how you can make your own gestures for triggering actions of your likes. A lot simpler and a lot easier.
Triggering actions has been made possible thanks to:
Tungstwenty - for his "[Ref][Kernel]Triggering actions with touch gestures"
gokhanmoral - for his Amazing Siyahkernel
So let's proceed to the guide..
As we know our screen resolution is 800x480. So if we try to divide the screen into 160x160 boxes this is how it will look like:
{
"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"
}
Each box I have labeled it with its corresponding minimum and maximum x and y coordinates.
For example we want to create a gesture that is letter S.
Then we would like to define the coordinates of this boxes.
Referring to our 1st picture with the corresponding minimum and maximum x and y coordinates, each boxes according to no. will have this values:
1= 320|480,0|160
2=0|160,0|160
3=0|160,320|480
4=320|480,320|480
5=320|480,640|800
6=0|160,640|800
So if we would want to create the code for our gesture 1 it would look like:
Code:
# Gesture 1 - S
1:1:(320|480,0|160)
1:1:(0|160,0|160)
1:1:(0|160,320|480)
1:1:(320|480,320|480)
1:1:(320|480,640|800)
1:1:(0|160,640|800)
I hope you guys like it! I was so impressed with this feature that I was bored and tried to put a little effort on trying to make the gesture creation easier.
Again, this is just a guide on how you could make gestures easier. If you want to know the full details of what this guide is about, please go to tungstwenty's thread. Thank you!
And if you appreciate my help, just press the thank you button. :highfive:

Thanks for a great visual guide on how to do it :good:

mToday ( Profils 2 today) Free

I found browsing on the Internet a little program here is very interesting
Description: mToday is an application for you to switch between two today screen profiles to enable/disable pre-defined today plug-ins quickly and conveniently.

thanks Vicott Wong
nice catch bro, i like it
thanks
great find, thanks.
hmm, interesting, thanks.
Nice idea, but very very slow.
good but keep improving
This is a good idea but as mentioned slow, so keep improving.
If you want a quick second today, take the battery status today. Then you have two today screens. But this kill one today and go to the other today. This good to save memory. For me its good. In one I have all my things. And if I want IGO8 I take the other.
NEO130,
Could you please elaborate what is the "battery status today" that you use for mToday with minimal memory?
I try to do the same: one mToday profile with the applications I commonly use and the other mToday profile for iGO8. The profile with commonly used applications works OK but when the link of the empty profile for iGO8 is invoked it stuck my HTC Trinity such that it needs a hard reset. The succeeding boot yields the empty Today.
Not a convenient way to switch profiles, though...
Thank you,
Shkauf
Hi.
I posted this over at MobiSapienz but it may be easier to chat over here?
So I read:
"Added command line option to launch settings (-p0)"
When I do:
Run(SystemPath( "ProgramFiles" ) \ "Vicsoft\MToday\mToda y.exe","-p1")
It pops up the mToday Switcher and leaves it there.
Am I not doing the command line argument correctly. I did try "-1" but as I suspected that also popped up the switcher.
I am also assuming -p0 refers to mToday 1, and -p1 would refer to mToday 2.
I kind of wish there were a reg setting for "Current mToday Profile" for last switched profile.
Thanks...

thank you lepsyfou

SpoonDo! - a small utility for managing Outlook Tasks

Hi all,
I created a small tool that wraps the Outlook tasks in a finger friendly UI.
I'm using tasks a lot, and using the 'SpoonDo!' I can see them in categories, sorted by their due dates.
The navigation between categories is simple and on top of that, there's a special fictive category with all the urgent tasks.
{
"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"
}
Let me know what you think!
Download CAB
More information in the Mobile Spoon blog.
Enjoy!

Seems nive and useful! I'll try it!
Thanks gil.
EDIT: The download link in the page you reported points to SpoonXMLEditor.
EDIT: I tried the download image and it works.

this is very nice and i like it ! although my ThumbCal has a fingerfriendly taskmanagment and im not sure if i need another one.
Any chance of changing language, maybe with a txt-file ?
Thanks.
I guess I can make it localizable.
There's a list of improvements I would like to perform, I will include it as well.
Was unusable...
Just tried to install it on my Diamond....
I have around 250 tasks, it took over a minute just to get into the program...
Wow!
Wow! Such a cool app! Really finger-friendly and a very nice replacement for the Outlook Mobile Tasks... Thx!
Yet I have one question:
Is there a way to edit the categories?
When creating a new task it is possible to create a new category as well but deleting categories seems to be impossible...!
Is there a way to do that?
And then I figured out that if you use commas "," in the category name the category will be split into two (or more) categories in Outlook where the the first name is the part left of the comma and the second name is the part right of the comma. A little bug?

[10.24.08][DEV] OpenMenu - an LGMenu Clone

Hi all!
REQUEST
I've been working on this using Basic4PPC, and it's coming along quickly and nicely. But, I'm using the unregistered version!
I initially wanted to charge a tiny fee for the app, but I have a better idea. If I could get donations to get a proper license for Basic4PPC, then I'll release it and any subsequent versions and updates as freeware instead. Hell, I'll open source the buggers.
In addition to this, it means I finally have a development platform I can use to make the apps that I've always wanted to. I have the skills, just need the tools: so you can get more apps in the future!

Another day, another application I'm working on.
I have an LG KS20, and one of the coolest parts of this phone is the LGMenu. It's great! But the issue is: there is no customisation whatsoever! So I decided I was going to create something instead.
Currently working on the application itself, using holder graphics.
What would you nice people like to see in this application?
Customisation is a must, as well as skinability.
But what else?
Hi!
I like the LGMenu as well but didn't use it because it's not customizable. Therefore your effort is highly appreciated
Some ideas (see attachments):
- an integrated appointments view would be nice
- scrollable icon view
yy what replace skin for programms menu?
Being able to add wallpapers to the background, man, that'd be the best.
dude, if you like B4P buy the app, Erel put a lot of time in it
I did and i didn't even ask other people for money
+1 for scrollable icons
I think this would be most useful.
greets doena
I'm being paid on Tuesday, and I *will* be purchasing B4PPC. So shush.

i cant find a simple calc with digit group since WinMo (ex: 1000000 => 1.000.000) , why is this not a standard? waiting for your update
Very nice first app!
I would tone the blue down a little bit, it seems just a little too bright when compared to WP7, and the numbers look a bit stretched too.
Good luck further developing this app!

Picture Slide to unlock

Hi all,
I was wondering. I would like to see an unlock screen with 6 (or 9/12) small pictures/icons in random postions. The user can make up a small story so he would know in which order he should slide/swipe to the different pictures to unlock the phone. Also a nice feature would be if the usere could pick the pictures which would be displayed on the lockscreen. The position of the displayed pictures/icons should always be random to ensure security.
Is there something like this out there for android??
Regards, RR69
I think it's too easy and fast to solve. Why not a lockscreen with something like this to solve?
