btw I just wanted to say what a great job francarl has done/is doing on this application! please try not to get discouraged! i have a feeling when you get the bugs ironed out this is going to become one of the absolute "must have" apps for WinMo :) adding little bits of functional elegance is something Windows Mobile sorely needs these days.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romualdrichard:
Yes, thanks for this program.

Looks it's not working (1.08) with Quickmenu. I tried to put quickmenu in the exclusion list but I have no menu at all after.

and if I remove quickmenu from the exclusion list, the Program list in Quickmenu has only fingermenu :(.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romualdrichard:
Reply to myself since I found a solution....

Looks like it's because I have a French Rom :) and that quickmenu is using the default Start menu (Menu Démmarer for me).

I found that fingermenu has it's shortcut in Programs and not in Programmes as it should.

Workaround :

Either : configure Quickmenu to use the 'Programmes' directory for your programs and not let it take the default one.

Move the fingermenu directory in the real Programs link in the start menu and remove Programs directory.

Maybe spanish or other language has thi issue too....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m.schmidler:
This app is awesome, I really love it !!!! Thanks for all your work, it´s nearly perfect.

My suggestion: Add an option to set scrolling speed. For my taste it´s too slow.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romualdrichard:
Again, me...

I noticed that the glitch with some applications diseapper if you open the menu several times.

Here is a sample sequence with Outlook

romualdrichard, try to set transparency to 255
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
er slight problem

hi

just found this and is something that i have been thinking that would be a brilliant idea to have an app to do this. BUT installed it and reatarted to get the program running and then i lost the use of all my hardware buttons, and now uninstalled they work again after reset.

any idea why this happened or anyone else had a similar problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zard:
I've downloaded twice and tried on my Kaiser but everytime I can go into config page and save settings but when I launch the app, I don't see anything except the 3 icons of Fingermenu and a close button on bottom right.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Anyone can help?

Update:

Ok, understand why I don't see anything. I think it is because I don't have M2D installed in my rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6gex:
I have the same on my touch cruise, I have a rom with manilla, finger menu is working but when I click on a soft key the backgroud is corrupted.

For exemple if I where in the weather tab then go to the setting tab and click on the softkey, I have in the background the weather tab comming on the seting with transparency, but the menu is working anyhow.

I 'have check the video and this issue doesn't look to appears.

Hope I 'm clear enaugh.

Great program by the way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
??

any screenshot please?

FingerMenu doesn't require M2D installed!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
really great icons...I'll use them in next release! thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dancj:
Hi - I just discovered this app and I'm liking it already.

I just have the following requests for future versions (most or all of which are echoing other people's suggestions):

1 - It would be nice to have some kind of visual clue to show that there are more menu items when they won't all fit - It might be enough just to show five and a half items rather than five.

2 - Automatic restart when you change the settings

3 - The option to have a bigger menu displayed.

4 - If it's possible, to have it appear a bit more quickly.

5 - Some way of backing out of the sub-menus rather than having to exit and then go back in

6 - It would be nice to be able to exit from a menu by tapping elsewhere on the screen rather than having to use the "Exit" button.

Thanks again! I'll be watching this app with interest...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] morzick:
Hi Francarl,

Thank you for great app.

But there is one thing that upsets me in application. If you click on any menu item it is needed to keep the finger on a menu item for some time before it applies. Otherwise a menu is scrolled a little and that's all. In other words the time of reaction on finger touch is too big from my point of view.

And I want to suggest one improvement. I believe it could be useful if there will be an option to change (increase/decrease) the number of shown menu items. Nowtime it is 5.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] furry:
after some time of using I have found that several apps won't work in the secondary menus. The program intersects perfect and executes the first tier menu fine but after the second menu pops up any finger selection does nothing. I have added them to my exemption list but I'd love for it all to work!

Perhaps this can help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JukEboXAuDiO:
Ok having an issue. When I use this some of the options in some programs are not mapped right. When I click on some of them they don't do anything or when i close teh fingermenu it makes all my menus unclickabbbbble.

Example. When I get a message or a text messagand I click on the menu. I click on save as read wth fingermenu and menu just closes and doesn't mark it as read.

Example 2. WHen I go do the above and close the fingermenu. It menu button is stuck and unclickable unless I reset my phone

Hi to all good skinners

can anyone create a vga version of attached images?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike21pr:
thank you so much for this aawesome software! but there are a couple of things i would like to point out so it becomes perfect

1- a symbol or notification that more items are availble if you scroll down (like the arrow on the bottom of the menu like in HTC Album) cuz pple will miss all the options without it.

2- some of the commands wont work or will do nothing (like the example above with marking the text as read) i have encountered this bug on several occations in several apps, i hope it will be fixed

3- the sip menu takes longer or another tap to display (in using pcm keyboard, not sure if its related)

4- a "back" option to go back a step in the menu without restarting

Overall a great app!!! lots of potential
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mblaster4711:
Thanks for this grate App, works fine on my Elfin.

I edit the 4 blue Gfx into red (ver 1.09)

For now this is the best I can do, the arrows are not fully vga but I dont know if this is visible (If so a new approach will be taken at the time:)), cheers 12
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romualdrichard:
hi,

I found 2 issues...

In Outlook, when you want to sort the message list. it seems that the sorting is not taken...

In egress, there is a list for showing the channels (like the directories in outlook). this list is taken by fingermenu and it's empty.

cheers,

Rom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:
Alright. Will have a go at it.

EDIT: Actually the one that 12aon made is the closest I can achieve also.

@Francarl

Did you get these from somewhere or make them yourself? If you got it from somewhere, it would help to tell me where :) That makes it easier.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] petard:
If there is a way to make scrolling the menu smoother, that would be nice. The HTC fancy menu scrolls a lot smoother than this one. This is shaping up to be great though! Also, I don't know if its possible to fix, but it has a bit of a delay to load.

And as almost everyone said, it would be nice if there was an arrow if there are more menu options and clicking the arrow will page down/up the menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
Graphics came from Opal SIP Menu (qvga). You can find it at this post from ryomahino http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3096204&postcount=89. Hope this help you. Thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
thank you again. Great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:
Did you just cut it out of the screenshot? I'll try using the SIP menu from my touch pro. That should come out to be true vga.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryomahino:
Hi Guys I have the sip menu files from HD I hope that this files helps to make a VGA skin version of fingermenu.

I have black skin and green skin for SIPMenu in VGA and Blue skin for qvga (the original posted in my previous post is Black one for QVGA)

Please see inside the zip files and I hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12aon:
I redid the arrows, using the files posted above. For some weird reason the images that were resized from qvga in photoshop have a smoother gradient than the original vga one's. Anyway these are prettier from up close (don't know if there will be any visible difference on an actual VGA screen), cheers 12
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] EgorLev:
fantastic application Francesco! very promising! I’ve tried 1.08 version, and can report tow bugs:

1.do not work in Pocket Informant. then press and hold for context menu FingerMenu appears, but then I choose any action like “edit” ore “copy” ore something – nothing happens.

2.can’t access the phone menu with “options”, “smart dialing options”, “speed dial” and so on. the one that appears by pressing right soft key than you have phone keyboard on. FingerMenu proposed menu from left soft key with “hide keyboard”, “speaker on” and other applets instead.

looking forward new release!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:
You beat me to it :( lol. But I noticed that also. I was dazzled. I'm still wondering why the qvga resized ones look smoother than the original vga one? Maybe it would look different on the device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pOnTiTa:
thanks :)

now i'm installing!! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12aon:
Maybe It's a size issue, haven't checked it though:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gobmonster:
This is a very nice app, i have one bug to report

1. Quick menu seems to not like this program. I know i really wouldnt want it to run through this, but it would be fun to see it in action none the less. When i press quick menu, fingermenu comes up with no text.

I have one request and that momentum scrolling. Going up in down in this menu is kind of annoying. Great program thus far, i look forward to future releases!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Yusuke14:
Add QuickMenu to exclusion list and all works well :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paalkr:
Hi!

Great application! One thing that I miss is the option to go one step back from a sub menu. Would it be possible to use the left soft button as back when you are inside a sub menu? Now you have to press close (right soft button) and reopen the main menu.

An indicator of some sort that tells if the list long and need to be scrolled, would also be nice.

Regards,

PK

Compatibility with a WM5 device?

I'm trying to install FingerMenu 1.08 on my xv6700 to no avail. I'm getting the same error message as mamupapers on page 7 of this thread.

"The file FingerMenuCTRL cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."

Please advise. Any help is appreciated!

Hi, first of all seems to by a really nice app. But I have the same problem on my diamond, so the TouchMenu is completely black!

So any Idea? Are there some other Diamond owners, who can confirm or deny this problem?

Update to my skin

I found the color entries, and thought I would provide this cab. Changes colors to match screenshot. Also matches my RescoExplorer skin. Let me know if any problems. May have to reset for changes to take effect(it asked me to reset when I tested it). VGA will look different, so let me know if anything needs changed.

Hi,

Any hope for FingerMenu to work on file explorer?

I was wondering to add fingermenu to my ROM but had some problem with file explorer ext which is not able to work. If I add the file explorer ext OEM to the ROM but still opens old file explorer in the device.:(

Anyway, you are doing the great job, keep it man.:)

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Michaelr219:
awesome update! the only other thing i can think of besides bring the transparency back is to minimize when you touch outside of the menu... similar to the htc volume...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kunz:
I love 1.09! Thanks for the update.

Re: the arrows for up and down - great idea. However, is it really necessary to make them that large? I don't think we need them to be clicktable 'tabs' as most people would be drag-scrolling the menu anyway. How about just a small arrows to indicate the menu is scrollable instead?

Just my 2c! Keep up the great work!!

New version doesn't work. When try to enable it I get the error message:

EDIT: Never mind. After soft reset solved.

Hi Francesco, amazing work 1.09 have great improvements.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DAVIMON:

This issue is solved in this release.

This one is not solved. In elements on today screen, finger menu appears ok, but nothing happens when i press some option.

It would be great if you can solve this.

Thanks, friend
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] petard:
Great addition with the arrows but could you get rid of the dark color of the button? A black or gray arrow is fine, the color of the button is too dark and ugly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m.schmidler:
Thanks for another update. What about adding borders, maybe even adding an option to turn them on/off and defining a color?

This would be a really nice improvement and it would help in cases when the menu-background is white and the app´s background as well (I set the menu-bg to a dark gray atm, does look good as well).

regards,

Martin

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gtrab:
Smart little app, I was searchingfor something like this

It doesn't seem to work properly on my Sony Xperia (Kovsky) X1A with NAM ROM (northamerica):

Installed v1.09

Pop-up menus deploy OK and are VERY NICE

BUT the rest of the screen ("outside" the fingermenu pop-up) turns fuzzy, blurred...

I remember my old monitors displaying this way when the MHz refresh frequency was not set properly

It is disturbing...

Ideas ??

Am I missing something ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:
There was a fix posted for this a while back. Please read. :) The fix is turn your transparency settings to 255.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gtrab:
Yes I did search, but that's not a "fix" at all

Yes problem improves when setting transparency to 255 OR when disabling transparency, but that's not a solution because on either case you loose perspective from your active window (white over white when 255 or black background when disabled)

Problem seems related to the background alpha blending

I thought I was missing something else...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:
What? Really?!?!?! I swear after setting mine to 255, it doesn't matter, Mine I still see the background image behind FingerMenu. I'll take a screenshot later. I know it's disabling the transparency, but for some reason, I can still see the background behind :)

P.S Sorry for telling you to search since it seems you have done your homework!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ashwm:
Would it be possible to have this as an option?

Able to turn it on or off?

And possible to have color option for selected item back ground color?

And option for Row height.

BTW, working well on X1i, nice job, Thanks!!

FYI, Very slow opening Googlemap's "Option" and "Help"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lastnikita:
yes it is too slow, but the other improvements are fine :)

or better, the option to set its height (and other items height too, but separately please :))

In some Programs, I can open the Menu, but can't click on the Items. They get selected, but don't do any action. f.e: AdvancedConfig, beejive, pimg..

(maybe the same problem like the toolbar-problem?)

and a feature request:

can you implement the d-pad to scroll through the menu?

up/down > self explained

right > a "layer" deeper / execute?

If "Transparency Level" set to 128, bkg screen seems blurry and grainy.

Thank you very much.

cool application, just tried ist yesterday. had to set background to 255 on my diamond to get rid of the nasty graphic errors.

also apptodate support seems to be broken. every time I start it I get the message I should upgrade to 1.09, even though I have that version allready installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ruudfood:
I have an even worse problem.

A great little app I'm sure but just can't get it going at all on the X1. Menus seem to pop up but there's nothing on them and the screen freezes. That's from within the FingerMenu config program.

hello

the new version isrealy looking good, but i have

Congratulations on this great application. The idea is wonderful and is what exactly i wanted to see on my Diamond.

But i am getting an important bug and i can't work this app on my device. Although setup goes fine and i start the program with no problem, instead of the beautiful fingermenu, i see a black box on the shape of the fingermenu... If i click on a place it works, but i can't see what i am pressing to! All i see is a black menu with nothing in it...

I am talking about 1.09 and my device is HTC Diamond by Vodafone with 1.93 Rom. Any solution to that?

are you sure? you're referring to a very old post....nobody has reported fast battery consumption since version 1.07.

Try 1.09...

In the cab installation, the shortcuts are misplassed.

I mean : I have a French Windows Mobile : shortcuts are placed in windows/menu demarre/programs it should be : windows/menu demarre/programmes. Looks like programs is hard coded.
