Speed Dial and Recent Calls Shortcuts

Hi everybody,
This is my first post. I would like to thank in advance everyone taking the time to reply to this post or any other in the future.
I have just purchased a Qtek 9000 and have a problem with the phone feature. Before this device I used an I-Mate Jam and Pda2k and both allowed me to use the right and left navigation keys to enter speed dial and recent calls. I can't seem to find a way to do it with this one. Microsoft claims the new, for me unnecessarily space consuming, softkeys are especially for one handed use so eliminating such a nice feature would be against their current intentions. I would like to know if anybody else has the problem or the solution.
Thanks.

Have a look at VJPhoneShortcuts, on my webpage.

[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!!

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?

[REQ]: Special Camera Application?

hi!
i was just wondering if there's a special camera application, that allows to take pictures while the screen is off. does anyone know such a piece of software?
thanks in advance

for what reason ?
if you want to spy then buy one of these new pens with camera and voice recorder with usb support ;-)
cheers

I mentioned this in another thread a couple of weeks ago and agree it would be a cool application to either have the screen off or not have the camera display any info on the home screen. I have situations where I take pictures of textures and things and I always hate people asking what are you taking a picture of...? Well I hope this gets created.

if i'd like to be a professional spy, i wouldn't want to do this with my mobile
and i only wanna take some pictures, no vids or sound.

I agree with Boss428man.. whereby an active video screen on your PPC can attract too much attention, and thus having eyes o9n U, all wondering what youre trying to take.
Good for bloggers as well, when they wanna take shots of unusual happenings around them.
Perhaps a disguised screen with buttons/text (eg. calendar app) with the button actively taking shots from the camera... that'll be cool.

*bumb* any news on this?

Hi, hi, put a piece of black paper over your display an nobody will see you taking photos...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ha ha, hi-tech!
BTW, this isn't too difficult if I get a chance over the weekend, i might give it a go.
PS, dont let that stop another DEV - i'm not about to make a fully functioning suite or anything like that!
Steve.

try ateksoft coolcamera if it supports your device. it has option to show nothing in preview screen. maybe it will work for you.
But not sure if there is good photo resolution available. Anyway give it try if you wish
P.S. it is not freeware.

Compleate noob development help with cool idea for an app.

Ok so i have a cool idea for an app but have no clue how to impliment it into code. I have started to work on the ui part of the code, not that hard. I am now at the point where i need to know how to controll hardware like the LED's, the screen,and the microphone. I have no idea how to conrol these various parts of the phone. The app i am try to make in theory would be like the old motorola razr v3 mod (Check it out here) where the phone's screens' would flash along with the keypad and leds to the beat of any vibrations to hit the microphone, there were several different patterns that would give different effects, it was pretty cool. So i would like to do the same with the screen, track ball, keys, and the led at the top of the phone. With multiply styles of flash patterns some with color coordinated and some just plane white lights. If i can get some help with this that would be great, i am new to code all around ik very basic html witch is not verry helpful, though it is similar to the xml. If you think this app is a good idea and even remotly cool please help if you can. By the way the app would be call Club Droid.
Thanks Much

this isn't the right forum to be posting this in. reported

Make a new thread in the development section buddy

Tip: Use the Volumebutton to take a Photo with your Camera

Hi Folks,
today i search for it as you can use the Volume buttons to take a picture with the camera, not only via the touch screen, then i have to get the solution in a German board
You just use the App: Photo Defy Lite
its fpr the Motorola Defy to take underwater snaps, but its wotk perfect on my DHD
Many thanks to Blame! for the find

This feature is a part of CM7 rom. I haven't used any other roms, but I am sure this is pretty basic feature by now.
The app is, however, useful for non-custom-rom users I think.

Cool, nice find!
