well...a new GUI?

I mean we like finger friendly apps, and I do like throttle launcher. Problem with it is on my titan, it leaks of memory more than water flowing from niagra falls. That said, a new GUI would be lovely, but at the same time, there is a lot that has to be considered. I noticed that memory leaks (for me) occur mostly at the items on the today screen as well as use from the device.

Incorporating a faster GUI, that's also graphical requires a lot of patient. I'm thinking that the GUI shouldn't be made on pre-existing GUIs...I personally rather liked sony xperia GUI and a few other GUI (like samsung's new GUIs that are coming out running wm6.1 slated for the fall).

Development with other people would be a plus, and it wouldn't be much, but it would be one step closer to a great interface...for the enthusiasts and the business people. Perhaps something to completely remove most remnants of the stock windows today screen...who knows?

we need a finger friendly calendar. thumbcal is a good start, but thundy can do better!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] manaaa:
hello,

i checked the results of the poll and im quiet not satiesfied ^^

i think theres no reason in start now a NEW GUI, theres several GUIs that fit everyones mind. i.e PointUI, Schaps new unveiled, SPB, Ultimate launcher,Touch Commander, ....... AND SO ON....

2nd i think, pocketmelody with the pictureflow integration is an original creative project with just some steps to perfection.

so, why not continueing before start a new project.

last but not least.. i believe if the poll would run till the end of week > Sunday, pocketmelody would do the ride.

**edit*

btw, u had a great team in pocketmelody project (designer, tester, someone showing vids, etc, ... i liked the way you all managed to work together)

Too bad PM didn't win, S2P is *not* a media player that I find useful. What kind of music player doesn't build a library? Isn't half the point of having digital music the ability to have (and use) metadata?

Hey all,

As indicated, I've got a lot of ideas in terms of the programming side of things, but I'm waiting on some XDA users to send me some graphics and ideas, so far, I've got at least two users who have promised to send in some work. Truly, I can't go ahead with this project unless I've got some gaphics to work with, I can even come up with a stellar idea, but I'm no good at graphics.

So, in short, I'm waiting. If anyone else is interested in lending a helping hand, feel free :).

-Thundy.

BETA test

When needed, I could be a beta tester and tranlastor (english / french / bit german)

about new GUI...

personnaly I changed from SPB MS2 to Ultimate Launch, just great.

But everything is still the same, tabs, need to slide, or click, and so on...

we need a new way ! (which one, I don't know yet)

and of course, more built in applications, better it is (I dream about a new GUI which includes SPB Diary, Thumbcal and pocketcm features...)

have a look there :

im a bit late... but how about gui that focuses around communication. i guess that why we all have ppc and no programs focus on communications... something that integrates email from several servers, sms, phone calls... heck if also possible fax (many websites offer free or small fee for sending and receiving faxes) ... what do u think?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] X-On:
I agree with aragorn21.

Starting from this design would be great!

​

This main issue with the current UI is system top/bottom bar! It take a lot of space (26px) while it doesn't do a lot... :mad:

It will be useful to reduce the height of theese bars (by the half?) and force the windows to size to it.

The other thing is the way that WM manages the plugins on Today! Why not ad the possibility to put them in a window which could be call by taping on an icon or by sliding (a virtual whell, tabs,...)?

Then comes the layout of the Today's objects (icons, plugins,...). Unlock the position of all theese objects will be cool and useful.

We really need to do something special with this old Today.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
I sent a PM to the guy who designed the UI you attached here, hopefully he's still around, and is willing to work. I've got the coding skill (hopefully :) ), but I need the graphics to work with! Desperate here!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] forbes256:
I really like the idea of having the different tabs along the side for a change. I'm picturing that you would be able to customize the display order to your liking so everyone could have their favorites up front.

It would be a cool touch to have them work like a contact list; where you could scroll them with a vertical slide of the finger... or maybe if they appeared to be on a "wheel" and would fade into the backround when they lost focus, etc...

Then again... anything you can do is worlds beyond me... Good luck and I'm happy to test with anything you need! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cbass:
How about a photo-dialer that has some of the visual effect of the cnetx one, but with pictures closer to the size of manilla ones? Maybe something with an index below the photos to quickly jump from one letter to another, then a swipe control to go next or previous.

I'd make an image, but I am on a slow linux laptop. I'd have an easier time drawing it on paper and mailing it to you, lol.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] domineus:
what I think would be really interesting is if one click on the tabs, a page opens upp within the UI to show the setting

much like a lot of the wad apps...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I know you are still looking for graphics but here is another idea on functionality.

I have yet to see a UI that can launch a program within it itself. For example, if Ultimate Launch could load PocketCM within a tab how cool would that be? I understand UL is limited by its design to Today plugins. But if a program like it could move past today plugins to managing actual programs it would allow for transition effects and background rendering. It would be harry to do this without soaking up a lot of memory so I think the ideal way to accomplish it would be to have a launch button within the tab that the user activated to launch the corresponding program. Or have the program launch when the tab is selected. It would be nice to see it user definable by which the parameter could be set to let the program minimize or close upon tab switching. This would eliminate memory leakage and battery consumption.

Your thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] internetadam4657:
ok if i am reading your post correctly, you want GUI program to load pocketcm WITHIN the GUI program itself? assuming this is what you want, i'm not entirely sure this would be possible. not all programs work in all resolutions. since you are running the app within another app this would not be a native resolution and the program would likely not work. unless it were to run at a normal resolution and somehow the top "start" bar is replaced by something else that would let programs run in a normal resolution.

or maybe i am just nuts, i'm not sure haha

Chad, I beta tested back in the days of iMedia Player and Melody, and I'd be proud to test again when youve got some new stuff. I'm on an Athena (VGA) so I'm guessing I'll have to wait a while for VGA compatibility. But, maybe support for all resolutions couls be inbuilt fom the start, because think of all the new devices appearing, all of them are VGA.

Thanks for coming back Chad,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
Hey all,

I really think things need to get started here, so in that spirit, I'm officially starting work on this project. Baby steps as usual, I've got an idea, and I'll be working on some graphics for the UI's unlocker. Ofcourse, if you want you'll be able to use A_C's great unlocker with the new UI, but I just thought if I'm creating a new UI it should cover every single element. The Unlocker will also be available as a seperate app.

I'll see how quickly I can get it up here, but it'll be fully skinnable, and it will require a gesture to unlock (but it won't be sliding ;) ). That's as much as I'll say. Like with everything about this new UI, I'm trying to be as different as possible. And hopefully it'll inspire/set the motif for other designers to toy around with in terms of the main UI's look.

Moving on....

-Chad
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ufufu:
Just an idea! The lock screen could be interactive, e.g. we could draw on it with fingers (like wm7 concept lock screen) or something equally cool.

Also, an interesting and different concept is the widget panel that's introduced in the upcoming Samsung Omnia. If the widgets were user-created, it would be awesome and very configurable.

Whatever you make, make it very skinnable :D thanks for the effort.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flyingmachine:
just an idea...

Hi,

just an idea for your next GUI...

It will be great if you can make the calendar be finger friendly.

thks

great job
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] domineus:
how about we first see what thundy is thinking about concretely regarding the hope of a new GUI

Based on the pre-existing GUI (iphone like interface/pointui, or otherwise) each user interface has the unique ability to have finger friendly candy. Not only that, it was interactive...

there are a lot of options around as far as new GUI is concerned

will it be something like xperia1 omnia or wm7? I think that is the question...perhaps at least posting an idea of hwat to expect and see if other members can tweak and add to it

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
let me say it friendly: Thundy is good....in getting donations for products that he never realieses. So i wouldnt bet any cent on this GUI or pocket melody or or or....

there are a lot of good GUIs out, also freeware, so dont waist your time waitin on a answer from him.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshrys:
what I would like to see for a GUI is something exactly like a normal Desktop, freely moveable plugins/icons, instead of having to edit a XML file. Drag, rotate, overlap, etc. Also have all of the plugins available, Clock, Msgs counters, applications, dialer... Kepp the otion for multiple tabs, UltimateLauch is awesome because of this. A good FF start menu is a must also.

Hi, everyone so I was trying to unlock my T-Mobile Pixel 4 XL the other night and I was having a problem with the person previously than the ones that ended helping me to get it done. I told them I just wanted to unlock it for a trip, I didn't want to tell them I wanted to root it. They said I needed to make so many payments for a temporary unlock and pay the phone in full for a full unlock. That didn't work. So the next day, I just said I needed to unlock my bootloader and the only way to do it was if the phone was unlocked. At this point, I had the phone for a week, but they did it, I was able to unlock the phone in the app and OEM unlock in developers menu and root like everyone else. I provided some screenshot on the twitter conversation.

Holy ****ttt . It actually worked for me ! It took a week but it worked ! It was from someone on the T-Mobile app. I basically told them how I loved the phone but I was disappointed that I couldn't use it to it's fullest potential so I needed it unlocked. and that I have paid more than a half of the device off so I really would like it unlocked or I would like to switch to a cheaper phone. The lady was very nice to me and said that she would work that out for me as best as she could and she really did it for me !

The carrier lock is what prevents you from the OEM unlocking. if you get it carrier unlocked and stick a different sim in you should be able to oem unlock.

Once you're 40 days in the temp unlock works. But from what I've read the OEM unlock button in Dev options is still greyed out so you can't unlock the bootloader. That switch has to be flipped on in order for you to be able to run the fastboot command.

Just got my T-Mobile Pixel 4 XL unlocked via Twitter.

I'm a brand new T-Mobile customer AND my phone is on a lease, not paid off at all. In fact I've not made any monthly payments or anything yet! I've only had the phone 4 days.

The trick is to ask them to enable dual SIM card mode and provision you over to an ESIM so you can run a physical SIM due to single issues. Basically T-Mobile sucks so bad you can't use your phone in some areas without a secondary SIM.

This was really what was happening for me and I had no issues getting it unlocked.

I now have a T-Mobile ESIM and a AT&T physical SIM plus OEM modes unlocked.

I had to ask twice however i did get them to unlock it. same thing when i had my 6T. i just told them i got the phone for development purposes and i couldn't do that without unlocking the bootloader which subsequently meant i needed to unlock it lol. question though. will this stop us from being able to receive OTA updates? silly question i know but it has been awhile and i know with my other phone it broke them.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] the.emilio:
If your other phone was the 6T then this is nothing like that. What broke OTA for 6T users was having TWRP installed instead of the default recovery which OTA uses to flash.

Trying to get them to budge for me. I have android 11 installed and need to OEM unlock to flash back to 10.

Update: rep online wouldn't budge said no exceptions could be made wasn't possible until paid off. Rep on twitter said the same and when i told them why i needed it said it couldn't be done but tried anyway and told me to refresh the unlock app and sure enough permanent unlock successful. Told the other online rep they did it for me and she still maintained it wasn't allowed or possible.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hawkstwelve:
I messed up. Reach out to TForce to see if they could unlock. First lady said "Yep, I see you've been with us for 5 years so I could absolutely do that for you! Just send me the IMEI." Unfortunately, before she responded, I fell asleep. Two hours later I woke up and sent them my IMEI. Now it was a new chick and she responded saying it can't be done since I'm on a lease and phone needs to be fully paid off. GREAT! So close!

She insisted she couldn't and said she used to work in the "unlock department" so she knows the process well. Give me a break.

I have a T-Mobile Pixel 4XL on a monthy lease, mine is unlocked too which dual sim (T-Mobile eSIM and Verizon physical SIM) and all I did was ask nicely via T-Mobiles twitter.

Then they asked "why" I told them it was because I have no coverage at work and I wanted to dual boot a Verizon SIM.

They agreed to do it.

Because it is unlocked, I unlocked my bootloader and also have ROOT and some other things now.
