I never said beta testing was closed, I'm still looking for experienced beta testers on Diamond, and this thread is open to suggestions regarding TouchXperience UI.

But please I don't want here such useless posts "add me to beta testers list", "please send me TouchXperience", "when will t be released?", "hurry!" like the hundreds (maybe thousands) messages posted in the different threads I had to read, which is a waste of time for me and an annoyance for people who are following the thread. When I open a topic concerning my projects, I always hope for a constructive discussion, but it's full of useless posts...

And be aware that beta version means unfortunately buggy. There shouldn't be any risk to damage your device, but some bugs could cause global system instability, so the first beta is really not intended for end users but only for experienced testers who would like to help me to solve eventual bugs. And as I said, I plan to release a public beta shortly if there is no major issue.

I would like to finish the first beta version during this week-end, I will contact people selected for private beta as soon as it is ready.

I'm wondering about a thing, since i'll go in vacation tomorrow and i would not be able to flash my device during that period... But i'll be able to connect on the web.

will your application be available as a cab file for beta tester?

Bonjour,

Je me propose juste en tant que beta testeur "lambda" n'ayant pas de connaissances particulières en programmation.

Par contre j'utilise beaucoup mon téléphone (HTC Diamond) avec toutes ses composantes (téléphonie, 3G, multimédia, net, mail, programmes, etc...) donc peut être à même de relever les bugs ou les faiblesses à corriger, et apporter des suggestions d'amélioration.

Mail : sausalito@numericable.fr

I know... shaps is from France... but there is now reason for writing messages in other languages than English. please remind... this in an international forum!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] marco899:
Oke. Good point and glad you are still reading the messages.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] andrewloh:
i'm asking to be beta tester... i can mainly to test the compatibility with reading/writing chinese characters.

Hello Shaps,

Excellent work on the TouchXperience. I am a programmer myself and I admire people that spend their personal time to develop something this useful for the community. I have created my own ROMS in the past but not at this extent. I would love to test for you.

Keep up the great work and the best reward is the self satisfaction out of your creation.

Regards,

George

Wow Schaps, this really looks impressive, if only I'd make a few more bucks than I do I'd donate some to you..

I will be one of the firsts to dl this when it comes out for sure, it just looks amazing!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Sindreafg:
I'm testing a lot of ROMs(both originals and cooked) for Diamond, and would love to betatest this. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bucci:
Schap - please what about time horizon of release? Looking forward to TouchXperience UI
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] athanaso77:
I would suggest for all of us to be more patient... TouchXpereience UI is something completely new and needs much more time than the usual.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htcfanboi:
may i just say...

i love you!!!!

jesus couldnt of done better.... i just have one question... for icons.... they are cool... i love the nice squares... but how will the third party ones look??

I'm from Mulhouse, France.

IS it possible to include me in your beta test programm?

I was already eta tester for microsoft vista lol...

Thanks a lot ans keep up your good work; my email darkblue_server@hotmail.com
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Vince13:
Hi Shaps,

Your work seems already well done, but if you need someone to beta-test it, you can send me a PM.

I'm also from France, and I'm developping a tool on my Diamond using the Gsensors, so I know it a bit.

Good luck, and again, nice work.

Bye

Hey Schaps

I would be worthless as a beta tester but nevertheless I would just like to add that I'm looking very much forward to your ROM, it looks awesome, I can hardly wait :)

Any update on your progress, possibly a pushed release date?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htcfanboi:
this thread is becoming quit quite which is good... cause schaps may be finishing up on his ROM

or somthing

Good day man i love your work , still looking for experienced beta testers on Diamond , I'm ready on Diamond
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Hia Schaps,

is it an idea to use the touchpad at the bottom to navigate the menu's as an option? Small gestures like up/down left/right can easy be made on one of the two pads.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ZeuBug:
It would be interesting to try this! :)

But when??? :confused:

Since July 27, I'm waiting for! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
You got my support +1 vote - for the sake of making the UI Chinese translated :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lennysh:
I'd love to test this on the Axim X51v. I have 5 PPC's, and can build ROMs.

i think are old man schaps has givin up on us!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Huey85:
I cannot beleive you just said that. Development of such a ROM with his own implemented UI that offers such vast functionality takes much more time and effort than you think. Obviously you do not have any software design, development or engineering experience - if you did, you would understand this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] johnnymatrix:
Cant wait for this.. I am interested to know if it ever 'breaks out' of the interface when you go into settings for example.. like in touchflo 3d you're very often back in the crappy winmo interface cos touchflo dosnt cover everything.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] depsilon:
Ready on Diamond 1.93 HK R05

I perform validation on HW and SW. Participated in many other beta FW/SW etc. What ever you need, willing to help. Xcel to menu interface is sick. Nice work. The hard buttons have capacitive sense - ever thought of combining the Xcel with sense to give you 3-axis GUI interface?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
so whens the due date on this bad boy
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Confucious:
If he releases it with the odd bug people will moan because it's not perfect. if he waits until it's perfect he gets questions like this.

I'm glad I'm not a developer so don't have tp put up with this.

It will be released when it's ready.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GriFolle:
Ok, so...when it will be ready? :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Confucious:
When he figures out how long a piece of string is ;)

I am only guessing - as I don't have a Diamond it makes no difference to me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kraize:
Yep. True. Schap had mentioned mid august, but it was delayed a little bit because of his hard drive crash. So it might be late august which is almost around. But don't worry. It'll be either end of this month or beginning of next month. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
Bad and good news

Hi guys,

After hard drive crash my PC is now totally dead... :(

With all those problems I'm sorry to tell you that I won't be able to prepare the release in good time, I hope I will be ready end of this month or beginning of next month in worst case.

For your patience, I have released a new version of Advanced Configuration Tool, fully compatible with Diamond, it offers more than 200 tweaks and includes TouchFLO 3D customization. Download it here.

I wanted to tell you that I've got several offers to sell TouchXperience, but I didn't change my mind, I still wish to release TouchXperience UI for free. In any case donators shouldn't worry, thanks to them! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
thanks for the update schaps
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Pixeye:
i realy love what you do,

i hope your pc problems are not dramatic.

i'm impatient to install your rom on my diamond :)

a+

ps: i'm french orange user and after 1st september on sfr, for comparaisons about network if you wan't to test something...

ps 2 : 20€ of donation for motivation :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Jorlin:
So everyone, I guess this is very generous... and very dedicated. So please keep donating. I do not want to see this dedication sold to any major PPC company that does not listen to us and squeezes money out of us :)

Another 10€ from me :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] just_true:
Many thanks for update Schap's, Don't worry we are keep donating you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GriFolle:
This is the reason 'cause I think our world it's not totally wasted. Persons like you are simply the real image of an "ideal idea".

Evenif I will not use your work (maybe, I don't know now) I'll donate you something because you really gain our support.

Good work man!

Hasta Siempre.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Hmm, respect for that decicion, but one has to live of something, and if you make a living of programming, there is nothing wrong of selling your programs :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] makeveral:
But many ppl have donated him money for making his program "free" and because they like it. It wouldnt be nice to ask money for it now that many ppl have already donated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] GriFolle:
That's true. But that's also true this (I think):

1) He makes good programs.

2) We take them

3) If we can (it depends from many factors) and if we want (it depends just from his work) we offer to him a beer.

Maybe he can not live just drinking beers (maybe it would be different in my case:D) but he can gain something...sure.

Anyhow, respect for all. If he turn back in his decision he will not do anything "wrong";)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] danthekilla:
ill do it

just pm me or e-mail me on danthekilla@hotmail.com

im the developer of g-flow and a few other g-sensor apps and would love to test this on my kasier or diamond
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ericsson68:
@Schaps

Have been keeping a keen eye on TouchExperience and just made a modest donation for your work (I'm not working at the moment unfortunately).

So, if you need any UK testers PM and let me know.

I wouldn't blame you for selling this but if you do just make sure you don't get screwed over!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] simba2585:
i dont post regularly but i have been looking at your work for some time. i just want to say.... a very big THANKS for the hard effort and dedication in your work. as im sure you will, take your time with TouchXperience UI....its going to be simply put - Fantastic.

cheers for Advanced Configuration Tool.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Confucious:
schaps - hope you can resurect your HD if not, at least give it a decent burial.

Good luck.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
@ ShaPs: donate to the Touch E UI

much respect for all ur work and hard hours put in and saying to us u will keep it up for free this deserves all the donations we can give i will donate again when i get some moe cazash in my account hope all ur computer issues get well soon :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] kenshinjeff:
I donated a little bit too! Really excited with your project, hope to hear good news from you soon!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Urosh:
A solution for all!

I made a donation for Schap's first of all beacuse he is really greate and I agree with whom is describing him like an honest guy.

I'm also sure that he will not sell this great piece of software... but if he does (and I would have nothing to complain about)... I have a solution... he knows exactly who donated him. So when he sign a selling contract (I hope for a lot of money) he can put in it that he will give free of charge the software to the list of donators!

I think it would not be a problem for the buyer.

Uh... is it too complicated?!?... U know...I'm an economist and half a lawyer :)

Bye bye!!

Urosh

P.S.: Come on Schap's... it is your turn!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ericsson68:
I think that might get a bit complex as when I donated my paypal has nothing to do with my address on here.

I'd be happy for a discount if it were sold. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ady_uaic:
so do we have to pay for this rom? and if we have to, how much is it? or we can donate? When this rom will be ready?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htcfanboi:
schaps any news?

and i was wondering it would mean everything to me if you make your TouchXperience customizable (such as icons and backgrounds and what not)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Wishmaster89:
I've found that video Schaps and thought that it might be useful to you and you could use that multi-touch capability in you TouchXperience UI :)

Schaps : I gave your name to a friend of mine which works at SFR. If you search for a new job sooner or later ;)

He works at testing new devices and validating them for service.

A cool guy
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] woeds:
This looks very promising. One question though; does this replace the WM6 interface, or is it a separate shell running on top? (like TF3D)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 0wn996:
Hi there Schaps.

I'm quite new to these forums and to messing around with windows mobile devices in general.

But after seeing your work on the touchXperience interface i just had to say that your work looks absolutely awesome and i will definetly be using your UI as soon as it's released.

I'm afraid that my IT skills lay in the PC sector and not so much in windows mobile devices so i guess as a betatester i can't do much more then just try to use functions and see if they work properly. And seeing this thread you probably have all the betatesters you need.

I will be waiting patiently for the release of your UI, and if it's half as good as i think it is there's definetly a donation coming your way.

Keep up the awesome work !!!!

Cheers from Holland !

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] scootax:
yes, some timeframe on this would be nice,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] weblance:
Haven't you guys read the thread? Schap's making this ROM in his own spare time AND for free. So what about cutting him some slack instead of posting these annoying impatient posts?!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 0wn996:
Exactly, if you have a short look at the video's then you should realise that this completely new interface is a lot more work then cooking a new rom with updated specs, apps and tweaks.

The touchXperience interface will be awesome, and making awesome things takes time. So i guess all we can do is wait patiently untill schaps releases his awesomeness :P:P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] scootax:
impatient because it looks sooooo good!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] liamhere:
if you can do it faster....try doing it yourself......

it will be ready when its ready....

and you lot badgering him won't get it any faster :mad:

Looks verry verry good. Ca'nt wait to install it.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ceevee369:
Salut Schaps,

Got a question which might been asked before (search did not offer answers)

I would fully understand that you might sell TE to those guys like Mobihand or so at the last moment (assuming you can trace paypall donators).

If not, and you keep it free for all , will you share the application with other Chefs- or will it only be exclusively embedded in your releases?

I still got my www.romondemand.com project in the freezer :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] scootax:
my apologies if it came out rude, it was not my intention to be rude...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] htcfanboi:
sooooo..... schaps why dont you discuss on the forum?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] qatramiz:
TouchXperience

Well, The world is waiting the release of this Diamond software...Schap's web site has been updated with no news about the release date.

We all would like to support Schap and his new software as much as we would like it to be free, however if we have to pay for the software i would like to see a software that is well designed + free upgrade + full supported with good customer service.

Again, the world is waiting this software and my advice to Schap (if you want to sell your software, make sure that your ready to support it after sale)

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TheWizzard2203:
In my opinion people are pushing our man Schaps too much. It could become true that Julian says he won't release his magnificent work because of all the people are pushing him too hard to release it. It would then become our punishment.

Let's try to see it in a complete different way. We all have seen the videos of Schaps work, TouchExperience. The longer he has to work on it, the better the final rom will become, because he worked out most of the bugs already. So we get a better and more stable rom.

So, people, please stop pushing Julian Schapman to 'early/pre-release' his TouchExperience rom. In the end it is up to him to decide when to release it to us.

In the meantime you can enjoy magnificent roms of Dutty, who, as I just saw, released his Dutty's Diamond rom v1.8. Or try the supercool rom of our Vietnamese friend, Tom Codon, which also works like a charm, talking about his Diamond Team Project rom v3.3.

Or try Panosha's latest rom, which also looks very good. And don't forget about our man Bepe, who also worked very hard on a new Elite rom release.

So, people, fellow diamond users, there's plenty of roms to play around with in the meantime.

Julian, I just wanna say, keep up your good work on your little wonder so that all of us will be completely blown away whenever you decide to release your work for us.

TheWizzard has spoken..........:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] aydc:
I agree that we shouldn't try to push Shaps, but he has released the videos too early. He's got our juices flowing, but we haven't gotten anything yet. Waiting makes all humans nervous.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
Why don't you read the forum?

As you should know my PC is totally dead, I gave you an estimated release date and it's all I can tell you, I try to work on an old buggy PC with an intermittent Internet connection, which is far to be the ideal working environment...

Please stop asking about the release date, for sure you will hear about it when it will be the Day, and if I knew it I would already tell you! Everyday my mailbox is full of messages asking about this date, it is worse than spamming!! So please don't ask too much, I'm really fed up...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Confucious:
Schaps - I think most people didn't realise you actually need a pC to do your work - they thought it was all done by magic...

But most people have access to more than one PC - but you obviously don't. How dead is your PC? Is it anything we could help with?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dynomite232:
@ ShaPs: pc parts

what do u need for ur computer?

plus take ur time man the longer we wait the beter less bugs
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Urosh:
Hej Shaps... I didn't know that you are working on an old PC...

How can I help you?!!? How much does it cost a new PC!?
