'new graphic engine supporting hardware acceleration'

hm, I'm a bit skeptical about that. Lookin forward to it nonetheless, looks like he got himself a HD2, nice.

Hopefully this is the real deal now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karlanal:
this is a great news

i hope this works nice on my diamond

and i think you invested too much time not to recieve nothing for your work, IF it works nice on our diamonds

thx

greetings

Latest email from shcaps

Schaps sent this email to his mailing list earlier today, I am on it as I donated to his cause a couple of times:

Quote:

Hello,

I wanted to let you know that a new video of TouchXperience user interface is available for those of you who didn't see it yet; I demoed widgets, interactive backgrounds, a lot of new menus and many other stuffs (and I didn't show all...).

The first beta is still planed before the end of this month, but I tell you once again, don't expect a stable version for daily use. This long-awaited preview (we can't even call it a beta version at this stage) is firstly to prove you that TouchXperience is real and functional (yes, there are people who still don't believe it's real...), to help me reporting bugs and compatibility issues, and to get a first feedback about user experience. As you can see on videos, TouchXperience is probably the most advanced user interface for Windows Mobile, a huge work have been already done but I still have a lot to do before the release, I have thousands of issues to solve (and I'm not exaggerating!).

If you don't wish to participate in TouchXperience beta for any reason, please let me know so I will not bother you anymore with emails.

Thank you again for your support, giving me the courage to achieve this project.

Best regards,

Julien Schapman

When dreams come ...true !

I looked at the new videos 2 days ago and I got stuck :eek: ! Schaps will destroy and the last hope of micro$oft to release something useful for mobile users :)) (maybe windows mobile 8 =))) ) !

This man is amazing, he developed something much much better than all the teams from micro$oft and google together (if we can say that ;)) ).

{ throughout the period when he has not published anything new about touchxperience, I was thinking that he was already employed by Micro$oft or any other mobile developer ;)), but I am very happy that he still works in the project that for many of us seem unreal}

I'm glad to be in he's beta testers list, and I'm just waiting to receive the test version of the project , to help him to correct and complete this dreamy work! (best project ever)!

Thank you Schaps !

Cannot wait for this after trying many roms and not finding anything that can fully satisfy me! :)

hello,

when to release the first beta?

look with great interest to try it on my diamond:D:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] guythomaz:
It seems everything is starting from the scratch:

"Ohh, am looking forward to try this wonderful UI", "It will be released soon", ...

This thread was started "27th July 2008, 02:17 AM". Now it's "15th February 2010, 10:26 AM"

No more comment...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karlanal:
all in all that is two and a half years now, and nothing happened

it is allways beta soon, beta soon

dont get me wrong

im thankfull to each and everyone who is doing anything softwarewise for the diamond, really thankfull

but i dont think this thread will have a happy end

if you take a minute and think about it, we allmost have complete android running on the diamond so it doesnt make much sense to continue working on something like this if you havent be able to make it work for the last 2 years, when it was really needed and would have made a deep impact

but fot those people which are going to booo me now

ill be happy to be proven wrong and i am ready to donate 30 euro to schaps if this rom ever appears

greetings to all
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] altec1000:
Touchxperience UI looks amazing. But then I did some research. It never was released. In January they told the beta would released in Feb. Then end of Feb and now March. I don't think so.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
The early beta (which is a closed beta) is for this month, and the public beta is planned for the end of March.

You can find all the information in that thread:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] altec1000:
Nice of you to reply. But end of March sounds again disappointing. Reminds me of Meizu M8. Heard there are thousand issues, so if it is true a steady release will be far away. (end of year/next year). One person to develop it is just too much. Still good luck
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
Of course it will take some time until a final release, but don't worry it comes before the end of the year. The biggest part is done and I work day and night to be able to deliver stable versions for public releases.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lunasea:
Can't believe you guys, if you feel bored with the waiting why don't you forget the thread and begin a touchxperience by yourself!

You should thank Schaps for sharing his work and for all the contributions he already made.

I've got to admire you persistence Schaps with all this comments... good luck with your work.

Cheers

oh my god, we have more smart people trying to get this thread shut again!! if you really followed this thread you would know that some time ago this thread was battered by people like you with smart arse comments that hold no water.

I bet you cant do anything like this.....so you have no room to comment!

shut up unless it is useful to all and a contribution to the thread! (this was the reason schaps left in the first place)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] billy_overheat:
sigh..schaps doesnt need to serve u all and make that rom just to give u a nice lil taste. come on, 2 years for a whole new interface is not long at all. plus, he is doing all the works himself, alone.

guys, give him some times, and just like MG said, if u cannot do the same thing like he does. shut ur mouth pls and wait and lastly, donate to him or at least thank him sincerely for doing this masterpiece of touchXperience.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karlanal:
mystic genious

read again and tell me what did i say wrong

and i do apologize, i didnt know that you have to be a rom developer or a thread starter to post a reply
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
Thank you again for your encouragements guys! (no comment for others)

I started this thread because I was looking for serious beta testers and I wanted to share ideas about the project. But it went in a totally different way, most of people only beg for getting TouchXperience, argue each other, or complain because I'm still working on it! I don't have to tell you more to understand the reasons why I had to leave XDA-Devs...

I decided to cancel the first version of TouchXperience to bring you the 3D accelerated UI I promised at the begining, don't tell me it wasn't worth! I know I made some communication mistakes and I apologized for that, but I invested a lot of time and money in this project, I had to make huge sacrifices, but many of you don't care or don't realize it. This is a really ambitious project and as far as I know, noone else had the courage to do what I've done, so I expect more respect and consideration for my work.

You can think that my videos are fake or that iPhone is better, I don't care, but please stop polluting this thread with useless comments! This is really unpleasant and demotivating... However that may be, those of you who are still sceptical should be convinced in a few days (...excepted if you think that's a big joke and that I pay my beta testers to spread the rumour...).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] karlanal:
i think you got me wrong

i for my part am really thankfull to anyone doing anything for the diamond

and that includes you

people who says the iphone is better are idiots, so what guys like them say is irellevant

like i said, now that android is allmost fully working on the diamond i doubt it will have the impact that it would have had one year ago

just to show my appreciation for your work ill donate to you

greetings nikola
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] schaps:
Maybe but if I had released TouchXperience one year ago it would be exactly the same situation, my UI would look obsolete compared to TouchFLO 3D or SPB Mobile Shell, and with all the time I would have spent to release that first version I could not work on the new version I am going to release today. That's why I decided to restart the project from scratch. With that new generation UI I will be able to bring you all the stuffs you appreciate in Android, and more... So I think it was a good decision for long term development.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] samy.3660:
Thanks for visisting Diamond forums, i have seen the videos and let me say you have really done a great work.. Waiting Patiently

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] seventyrocka:
Go Schap!

I'm a developer myself. I understand the situation you've been through. Been here for a long time, tested every softwares/patches developed here silently. What you're currently developing, should be called the next windows mobile albeit windows phone 7. And let me say something, the reason I'm still using my diamond although I can always opt to iPhone or Android, is because I'm still waiting for your TouchXperience patiently. Take your time, if it's worth it, I'd be more than happy to buy it. Let me have some time showing off to my iPhone friend, what my phone can do. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xenopod:
hi

I am a total nerd when it comes to stuff like this, and would never ask for payment to test anything, so if you want someone to test it for you, i would be happy to test and report directly to you snapps, I love this idea and followed it for a long time, i dont judge effort because i could not do it myself, i merely respect peoples work.

best wishes and best hopes to you

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] 4D3:
nothing to do with being a dev to post a reply. you are what is know as a troll.

you make NO contribution that is useful to any thread, but you have a big mouth and a lot to say, but you have no technical skill to back you up, essentially what is called a "Gob ****e"

and as for what you said to be wrong:

Well this is nice to know, we are all happy you dont believe, because we "really" care what you think.

COCKY! i could understand if you actually had something viable to back up your statements, but you dont, as i said, you make no contribution here.

you do alot of thinking dont you? also when you say "we have android" NO WE DONT!

we cannot flash android to a diamond, we must rum WM then launch it.

Empty promise. this WILL appear and you will do your usual troll behavior of coming in a taking what you want and moaning it doesnt arrive fast enough.

iTHINK you will do no such thing as donate, iTHINK your opinion makes no difference.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bevoc:
schaps should sell this ui

there are some people here that thinks schaps is obligated to give them stuff for free.

schaps doesnt owe you anything... and if youre using advance config tool, we should know who owes who what.

i haven't seen the people who posted stupid comments here on any other ui website (wad,pointui... bla bla). wanna know why? because those ui are actually paid for...

so i guess schaps should really charge for this piece of eye candy.

its about time for those good-for-thing trolls who had never donated even once in their lives to cough up the cash. but i guess with that kind of stupid attitude, these trolls will only wait for the app to be cracked and download 'em as warez....

end users like these trolls should be banned from xda-dev.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KevinNash:
Hi my French and Nancéen buddy ;)

You're right, and that's the only mistake you've done, please don't do it again.

I doubted myself on your project, as your neighbour, shame on me, I sincerely apologize for that, it would never happened without your lack of communication.

If there is some delay to the project, just say it, even if it happens 10 or 100 times, it's your project and hard work, not our.

Your work is absolutely incredible, as you said, you are the only one embarking on a huge project like this. The least we can do is respect your work and yourself.

By the way, congratulations Schaps ( what a video demo ! ) :eek:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] energyadj:

HTC will definately get jealous of this thing, I think they will offer you to sell this app to them.

I saw the videos and have two questions:

1.: Is it right, that you have to touch the middle button to activate scrolling with gsensor?

2.: DOES THE DIAMOND HAVE TWO TOUCHSCREENS??? I saw that you made gestures on the hardware buttons to run applications?! How can we access the second touchscreen?

Hi Schap

I have about 7 years experience in using ppc's in all various flavours (o2,imate htc,hp etc)

Can't wait to get it and use it. But, are you planning this as some sort of upgrade on current roms or is it integrated into a complete rom with everything already in it.

If you are interested, let me a post here (explaining in what you are good, if I don’t know you) and I will contact you later by PM if you are selected."
