[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
Yes i know the icon was not in use.. but as i have a Line 1 and Line 2, when bluetooth is off.. The Line indicator shows.. but when bluetooth is enabled.. the line indicators are not shown. I think this is something that stops the icons getting too many in the title.

I don't see any other option to be able to get to the panel manager except for maybe a start menu item. Again.. i think the panel icon in the title is better,

As for G-sensor.. yes.. that would be quite funky.. but this would take soemone who knows alot about the g-sensor..and to tap into that area...

Again.. if you see an application that has the icon in title bar.. please send me a pm.. and i will contact them for help also..

thanks guys.. and yes.. first beta will be closed...and go out to those who have expressed/helped... then a public release...once we know it is working..

again.. those given the opportunity.. please keep it closed..and we can get it working nice...!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
that is an excellent idea. I believe the right (answer phone) button locks the device with a long press right? Makes since to have a function for both buttons. I second this. Shaking the device is also a good idea IMHO
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kilobulb:
long press on the call button would be quite an elegant solution I think. Rather than having to mess around with a crowded task bar(probably easier to achieve technically as well?)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
Quick and dirty: Long key press

Long Term Aspiration: Shake it to wake it...now that would be about the only thing cooler than having panels in the first place!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
Yes.. i have that button mapped now.. but i think a seperate calling function is better..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Insane Devil:
HarvSingh,

What i recommend is that u make a shortcut to the program.

Then, ppl can customise how they want to start it by assigning it to any key they like, with the help of AE Button Plus.

Putting it on long press of the Call Accept button is the best bet for default setting.

But do try and put a shortcut to the Panel Program so that there is a scope for customization.

Thanks a lot, Harv & Nelshh and very good luck!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tboy2000:
Why not use the app - AE.Button Plus to remap the volume keys to launch the panels. Most people hold the phone on the palm of the left hand and the left thumb would be very close to the volume keys. Can do either a long or short press. Press up for panels and down for touchflo3d.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
Well..

the attaching to long call key is easy... as it is the only button available for mapping (user side) in buttons...

it works.. but i still feel that it should not be tied to something like this. I would want to keep my options open on what i want the only button i can have mapped.. to something each person wants.

I shouldn;t take this only option away.

Each of us wants different things from our HD's...

So.. i think the title bar icon along with start menu object... is the way... and if someone can help as requested in the earlier post.. i think it is better.

if you know of the way to do it... or an application that adds a title bar icon.. then pm me. Thanks guys..

PS...

if you did want to call panels from long call key.. it would take all of 30 seconds for you to map it yourself. I just don't want to make it the be all and end all.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tboy2000:
There is another app. FTouchSL enables you to launch any app with a gesture. So you could swipe your thumb up the screen from the home page to bring the panels. You can also press on an invisible hot corner to launch an app. Maybe something like this can be implemented.

Like others, not too keen on taskbar icon launcher. Just my opinion but great work. Kudos to you. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sharpstar:
i hope the app will be completed more quick,

i am so interested in it,and i think it will be wonderful!~`
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sharpstar:
i can't open the link of 15/11/2008 and 12/11/2008
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Insaneboy:
harvsingh, nelshh, i love you guys!!

If we were in prison, i'd protect you in the shower. :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] notisz:
Hey guys do you have the cab? can i be a tester too?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xdaman85:
I fully agree with you, as the long call key is the only key that can be mapped, it should be avoided and left as a last resort, that key is required by lots of software, such as MS voice command and so on, so what im trying to say is, im glad your not taking the easy way out but instead trying to find an alternative, thanx for the hard work
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
Nelshh and I are thankful.! and our arses!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xdaman85:
Wow i didnt realise they gave people access to a computer and the internet in prison :D

Just Joking lol
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
It's a very open prison...

thanks

lol, "open" being the key word LMAO
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] badasschris:
Hi hi,

This is all getting too exciting, my HD arrives tomorrow, is there anychance I could also partake in some testing?

Oh and again thanks for doing this its just what I wanted :D. Btw as for what to use for accessing the pannels I like the system tray idea as well as the gesture idea.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nelshh:
Managed to CAB it down I think! I'm gonna send the file to harvsingh for him to try out and to distribute to beta testers (I don't have a Touch HD so I don't know if it's gonna work - but I think so!).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] badasschris:
hehehe awesome, I'm more excited than a two year old on red bull.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sharpstar:
is it mean that there is a cab file to install?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] _macca:
I'm more than happy to beta test if needed.

Otherwise thanks for all the work done.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TTDegs:
Why oh why oh why is my HD taking so long to get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

should be here by 5pm apparently - so if you could please hold off publishing the cab till after then it would save me killing the delivery driver when he does finally get here... ;)

Seriously though, MANY thanks again to you both :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Howiebcn:
Well done with the CAB file Nelshh! It's great to see such good progress from you and Harvsingh.

Looking forward to the release. Keep up the fantastic work guys!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kersh:
I try the nelshh cab and I get and error.

I miss something? Need other software or cab or similar?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nelshh:
kersh, we've found the problem (I couldn't, since I don't have a HD), and we've solved it. Will make new cab tomorrow :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pinele:
A cab ?!?!?! WHEERRREEEeeeeeee please

thank you from italy
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tobyax:
me to, me toooo.....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tboy2000:
I am excited too about the panels on hd but I have a funny feeling I wont be using it much. I think the amount of memory it will use up for a gimmicky interface may not be worth it. I am waiting to be proved wrong though.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
Kersh...

The cab you have is Xperiatweak.. made by nelshh... but this is only for X1's...

You dont have the cab for this project.

NO-one does.

Only me and nelshh...

This will be sent to a handful.. on a closed beta.. to pan this out... once we are all happy.. then we will release.

sorry all for reading..and asuming that i have sent it out.. when it is not ready ... maybe in the next 48 will be a closed - pre-beta

thanks all.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kersh:
uoh, what a disappointment :/

I will wait then for a beta or a full release, thanks both nelshh and harvsingh
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cadenza:
Oh, thanks sooo much, you both!! And take you time, I won't have my HD until next week;) so, you can take you time and test it for any conditions;) oh, this will be suuuch a great thing, I'm soo looking forward to it, really!! And I think I'll use it a loot!!.. Hehe, and for sure my girlfriend will play all the time with the fishpanel, she almost wanted me to buy an Xperia only because of the Fishpanel!!! Oh my god...:s anyway, I and her will be veeery happy;) thank you!!! And I would question the same as one before me: do you know how much it will take from the RAM? I mean only about, of course... But anywyay, I think I'll use it all the time, so this will be a "must-have" in any situation;) thanks again! Greez, cad^^
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xdaman85:
lol, girls are funny, they get excited over silly things lol, My girl wants me to give her my HTC Diamond because i got a HD now, she loves the photos tab, the way the pictures slide.

i would give the phone to her, but she doesnt know how to look after phones or any gadget, iv given her about 6 phones since iv been with her, and the most recent one, well lets just say, shes dropped it so many times that now its got tape on it to keep together lol
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
don't get me started...

I bought 2 x x1's.. cost me a grand! one for me.. one for mrs. (she is worth it)

then.. i bought an omnia for her.. cos she wanted a smaller phone there goes 450.. I bought a HD.. another 500.. and now.. she likes the HD too.... so looks like i'm shellin out again

Thing is..My wife... she is too good. She puts up with me and my crap.. and all my tatting.. so.. seriously.. she can have whatever she likes.

For my wife... i really would lay up my life...best friend.. and soulmate.

ok... thats drippy enough... but seriously guys... i think i might have to put a donate button up... so i can buy my mrs flowers...and keep her in the phones she has become accustomed to!

Think anyone would help the harvsinghwife fund?

:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pawel062:
not to rain in on anyones parade but what problems is everyone seeing in getting the panel interface to fully run on the blackstone. looking at the roms for the x1 i have, i can see that there should be little or no problems. sorry to not be reading but i got a pm about title bar icons for the panel interface and came on quickly to see what else is going on with the port. if anything contact me and maybe i can help in solving the issues.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
For the benefit of those of us who will (hopefully) be undertaking the beta testing, how will you be distributing the CAB? PM?

Really looking forward to having a look at this thing to see what a great job harvsingh and nelshh have done.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TTDegs:
LOL - know that feeling! :)

Would imagine there would be a good chance of a few quid towards the "stop mrs harvsingh from killing him" fund ;)

(and likewise mrs nelshh too :))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nelshh:
It isn't as easy at it seems actually, it's easy to launch the panel-chooser once, but afterwards it's impossible. Harvsingh managed to identify all files/registry entries needed and I've managed to emulate some windows-messages to launch the panel chooser. It's in the wrapping up-phase now (harvsingh's made some really nice graphics as well ;))

Here's some teasers for ya:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] TTDegs:
LOL - "tease" being the operative word! :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] darthbane2k:
Why anyone would even want these "panels" on their HD's is beyond me. They are a deceptive gimmick. They are not a real time live preview like the windows vista windows key/tab thing, they are merely a snapshot - when you select a tab you have 1second of lag before the snap shot dissolves into the live app.

I finally played with an Xperia yesterday and it is the most disappointing phone ever. Even the shop assistant told me to forget about it and go for an HD instead - and he sells the Xperia for £50 more!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] NeoS:
at least he's being honest about it.

Anyway, i've been lurking this thread for the last couple of weeks now. I wonder if the panel with the fishes actually works like it should. That alone would be awesome to have.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] _macca:
Its because you can, the benifit of choice if you want it you can have it if not then don't bother. one mans rubbish is another mans treasure.:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
I think you can see it working perfectly if you check out one of the Youtube vids on the first post of this thread
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cadenza:
This question is for me at least very easy to respond. The panels are an own programing language (correct me please if I'm wrong) and therefore this panels wont exist in any other form that like "panels". And some panels are really funny, I mentioned the fish panel for my girlfriend, then there is the spb-panel, which really lookes great and I'm sure there will be a lot more panels in the future when happy programmers will write for them. And besides all, it just looks awesome!! It is so stylish, like nothing I've seen before on a mobile phone. Please don't think now I'm a lifestyle-guy, who doesn't care about performance and usability at all (in fact, I'm right the opposite and thats why I'm buying an HD), but I also like to see some cool animations, just look at beautiful things like the panels;) so, for me they are just a "must-have" for freetime;) if you understand what I mean, something to make you smile. thats all^^ and thank you again harvsingh and nelshh, great job!!! But if I read what harvsingh does for his wife, I'm really ashame that my girlfriend will "only" get my used e51.... I'm really impressed!! I would do everything for her, too, but I couldn't afford every 3 months a new high-tech phone..:( but I still love my "nearly-wife"... Oh, I'm soooo happy with her... Ok, sorry, now btt^^ greez, cad:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] xdaman85:
its all to do with personal preference, we all have different tastes and whether the panels are a gimmick or just novelty isnt something im concerned about. The panels have a certain "cool factor" thats why i want it :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
AMEN!!! Im not sure why people question the "wants" of others. If I want to slam my head against a wall, and it isnt that person's wall then they should leave me alone to enjoy myself :) Well said macca!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
completely off topic here but Im there with ya harv. Im not too proud to admit that my wife makes me better in most ways. God bless ya for admitting it :) One advantage I have over you is that my wife hates change in cars and things like phones. She drives her car forever and uses the same old crappy phone with no desire to upgrade so no money from me. Doesnt mind if I upgrade though. Anway, to keep it on topic, GOOOOO PANELS!!!!!! thanks again bro
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] m@rco:
On the Experia there is in the \windows\startup directory a link to panelmanager. (panelmanager.lnk)

So when you reboot it starts panelmanager again.

Hope this helps
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
The fishes be happy....

Very happy... even when i torment them,,,,
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
Oh we know....

Trust me... but the issue is.. The X button on the X1 does some "fruity" calls... not just launching an exe.

This was where we had a stumble.. until Mr Xperia nelshh sorted a solution.. and a very nice tidy one to boot!

so...

Situation right now.

Panels work!

Thats the bottom line. no rebooting.. no reset... nothing stope them from launching.. (apart from the issues nelshh and I worked on last night...)

So.. a repackaging today... and i have a new cab to try.

This will be tested today... but i must stress This has a icon in programs to launch which at this phase you can assign to button 1 in settings\buttons (long send key)

I'm chasing up help for nelshh in creating the title bar icon... we think it would be the icing...

I will try to post a new tube with it all working....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Insaneboy:
You big teaser!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
you'd not love me if i wasn't a bit of a tart..

If you check the first post.. there is a tube vid of them little fishieees
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] prpmlp:
Thanks for all your hard work on this. I am due to receive my HD soon. I am also a developer though not in the mobile as yet and I would love to help out.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
Welcome.. and get the Mobile SDK installed.. and get into man!

We needs developers!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wishmaster89:
It just came to my mind.

I know its a little bit off topic but still.

Is anybody here(by here I mean whole xda) working on some new innovative panel(game panel, settings panel, CorePlayer panel)? Or we have to wait for some commercial panels to come?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
Indeed. one of the reasons of getting the panels nto the HD.. was as a proof of concept...but secondly.. was to allow panels to be more used than just the X1.

If we can get these to work on many hardware platforms.. then panels can really grow... and with this..will come maybe google maps on a panel.. shopping lists.. there is already a ms live panel....

but.. they could grow... X1 is limiting.. lets make it more ....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Naraku:
Hummm...

This tweak don't work on my HD...

This is the error...

I have downloaded the Xperia Tweak 2.0
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nelshh:
That's because you don't have a X1. You're probably experiencing this because you don't have the panels on your phone yet!

The XperiaTweak-project is a totally different project then this one (in this thread), where we are trying to port the X1's Panel-UI to the HD!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Affirmation:
Just caught up with this thread - very veryt interesting stuff - looking forward to giving it a try - pretty impressed with the HD so far but this could be a killer app!!!

Thanks for pointing this out...

corrected on the first post.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
So what's the latest news today, harvsingh???
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nelshh:
Hey harvsingh! You'll have to add a new video to show that you no longer have to terminate the process to launch the chooser again ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
thats awesome!! I know that was the major roadblock
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] !SINGH!:
The new video is uploading as i type..

edit.. uploaded

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4rnX1V8cLiw

i'll put a link on the first page.

All followers of the holy book

Taken from the holy scriptures

'The Book of Windows Mobile"

Testiment 6, Verse 1....

last but one paragraph....

Continued....

At the cryogenic facility (well it wasn't in the old ages!) Doctor's harvsingh and nelshh took the egg given to them by the Concubine... and fertilised it with produce from the Son Ericsson. This let work commence on re-sequencing it's genes and DNA to enable it to develop into the embryo with in the test-tube. This was to observe its growth, and see if any further manipulation was to be performed or needed

Doctors nelshh and harvsingh, asked other senior medical trainees and orderlies, to help in this investigation.

They were firstly sworn to not share their observations or divulge any secrets... on the forum here or elsewhere...

((so far.. i have seen the Proof of Concept tube videos in India/USA/Germany/Holand and Italy! websites...)God i get about!))

This was to truly produce a perfect offspring that could be cloned for all to have within their own pocket family

---

If you would like to nominate for the closed beta, you need to pm me, and have a Touch HD in hand that you are not worried about hard-resetting.

you also need to give full and factual feedback, along with screen captures..also a full list of apps installed along with versions for re-producing any issues.

I will also set up a donate link... for the savetheharvsinghandnelshhwivesleavingusforneglectingthemandstrokingtouchhd'sinstead fund!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tyronne1126:
yay! !!! hoping its complete soon since im getting my HD soon. i waited for the X1 a whole year but it ended up disappointing me but if i could get the panels on the HD then its perfect !!! =]

THANKS!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pawel062:
how about shaking the phone for panels? that could also work. another idea is to launch panels like we launched the original touchflo cube. swipe up from the bottom.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Naraku:
Yes, I don't have a X1..

But in more videos, the X1 panels work fine....

How i can get that program??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] FlangeArtist:
Will this GREAT development allow us to download and install new panels?

I am SO interested in this. It's a great port that you guys are working on. My question is that, once installed, will we be able to download and install other panels, such as those from here? http://www.sonyericsson.com/fun/fnd?cc=us&lc=en&lf_res=gb#ts=1227123762851;applstate=contentlisting.contentdetails;contentCategoryId=800;filterId=0;genreId=-1;startIndex=0;phoneId=-1;contentItemId=34683;promotionId=0

Recently I updated to OOS12 and HDR video seems completely broken, there's horrible black crush and banding. It's pretty much unwatchable. Is there any possible DIY fix for this? Because after OOS12 there have been 2 updates from OnePlus and none have addressed the HDR issue.

Is HDR working fine in other A12 custom ROMs like Nameless? I'm considering switching if they don't plan on fixing it.
[OnePlus 9R] Rbx24:
I too downgraded back to oos11 because of this issue. Seems like not only oneplus devs but users too are not acknowledging this issue. Did you got it fixed though?
[OnePlus 9R] pixel_peeper:
I just switched to a custom ROM and that fixed it. OOS12 definitely had broken HDR and it wasn't getting fixed in any of the updates.
[OnePlus 9R] Rbx24:
Can you tell me which rom you switched to and are there any known bugs to look out for in that rom
[OnePlus 9R] pixel_peeper:
I'm on Nameless OS currently and no, it's very stable. Currently Nameless and Zephyrus are the 2 best ROMs for 8T and 9R

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roysteen2000:
Hey Everyone,

I have a question about a (hopefully) setting in Android 10. In my bussiness we are using tablets that are running in split-screen mode. But one of the apps doesn't handle screen rotation very well.

The default screen rotation of the tablet is landscape. We have screen rotation disabled as standard. But the problem is that even if we shutdown the tablet in portrait mode, it starts in landscape mode after reboot/startup. My question is if there is a possible solution for a default screen rotation setting. If not, a workaround is also more than welcome.

Thanks in advance.
