Works good on my HTC Touch up to now on all programs. Submenus working well and no battery drain problems. Memory usage FingerMenu is at 9th position after cprog.exe and before tmail.exe.

Thanks for the nice application.

Edit: I spoke too soon, there is a substantial battery usage by FingerMenu. Measuring the consumption with abcPowerMeter shows that it drops from 175 mA to 90 mA when disabling FingerMenu
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zoi_leka@yahoo.gr:
Great program!Thanks a lot!

I have the omnia...Works fine except from 2 these bugs...

When the menu is open and i rotate the phone(omnia has accelerometer)...the phone stucks for a while!

Also,the menu hasn't got "back" option...!

I hope,you could fix it!!!!

Once again,thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lennie:
it does have back function, hold and swipe left.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lennie:
I really want to make this one of my core apps, please make the height of the buttons a little smaller so more items can fit on the screen. this update 1.10 added a lot more comparability with roughly 90% of the apps I regularly use. 1 app that it doesn't work with us wktask (well I'm running an older version so maybe that's the fault, I will update and see if it works)

the speed is updated (love it, however, if you could squeeze out more speed it would be even better)

keep up the good development
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
would it be possible to invert this gesture?

i think a swipe from right to left is usually for a forward animation, while a swipe from left to right would be for going backwards

unless you are using something like pointui :D but that created a lot of controversy and issues because users didnt like its inverted scroll (up is up , down is down)

in short, i think it is more intuitive to have left to right swipe be a backwards function

would this be possible for next release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
EDIT: It *does* seem to drain faster... haven't checked cpu / mem usage yet though.

EDIT 2: will get abcPowerMeter and see what that tell me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
Oh FYI FingerMenu doesn't seem to work (at least 1.09 anyways) when FtouchSL (2.9) is installed - even when FingerMenu is started and FtouchSL is disabled FingerMenu doesn't come up. Had to uninstall FTouchSL to get FingerMenu working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lennie:
there is no such thing, ftouchSL is one of my essential apps. this menu system runs fine with it enabled
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TooKooL:
Still no luck on my Fsc T830 with 1.10:( See attached image.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
really? hmm... might try installing ftouchsl again then.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
of course, add FingerMenu to FTouchSL exclusion list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] minglee:
Thank You!

Dear Francarl,

I would like to say Thank You for your works.

After reinstalled the program and did a dummy save of the configuration file, no more battery issues experienced.

This is an excellent and useful tool.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Leonick:
Well i dont know about you but a prefer to things go in the same way i swipe them and not the opposite, thats why ive never used invert x axis in a game, who would want to...

if i want something to go the the left i drag it from right to left, try with a paper on a desk and you will see :p i for one get annoyed when its the other way around

Version 1.10 not working on my Samsung i740 WM 6.1,it no start, say 'Not Windows compatible application', and version 1.09 working fine

(sorry for my bad english)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] silencer22:
hi Francarl,

I like your app alot...

i hav a suggestion here, instead of swipping to right left, it is possible to make it such a way that we just have to tap on the faded menu to return to it?

on top of that, tapping on the background will hav the menu close?

tis could make the navigation more intuitive n much more faster
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zoi_leka@yahoo.gr:
Sorry,but i can't find the back button!!!Only close button is there!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
please read first post...anyway, there are two to go back:

1) d-pad left

2) slide your finger from right to left on menu

thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zoi_leka@yahoo.gr:
Ok!!!My fault!!Sorry!!

Thank you very much!!

It's very very nice!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lennie:
so carl how are we looking with version 1.10.1 with smaller row button? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
just working on it. Menu item height and button height will be determined respectively by selection image height and button image height.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] N_M_S:
Hi, I just found some bug with the menu in the Today Screen. The problem is that the picture change position, see attachment for illustration. Of course these happen only while in Today Screen and with transparency option on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] faeArai:
Wow, thanks for the great work. It makes windows mobile realy usable. Why MS can't do so?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JKingDev:
Hi Francarl, thank you for your wonderful program. I have a small suggestion. If the selection is on the first item of the menu, or there is currently no selection, pressing the up key should send the selection to the last item. Makes lists easier to navigate.

Another thing, if I drag to scroll and my finger moves over the scroll button at the top or bottom, the scroll button is activated. So for instance, i tap and drag upward to scroll down and if my finger moves over the scroll up button it will scroll back up. This makes it especially difficult to scroll in landscape mode since the scroll buttons are very big. I would like to disable the buttons, but there is no other way to know that there are more items. Perhaps with the scroll buttons disabled you could put a little indicator in the top and bottom right?

Lastly, I have a programming question for you. I was hoping you might be able to help me with something. I sent you PM. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbarvian:
can please post the link to v1.07 again?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
why do you need v1.07?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
Just started to use 1.10 on my Xperia.

I have some trouble to EXCLUDE a program (Total Commader). I cannot find this program in the list of the config finger menue.

Total Commader is defenitly running in the background.

Any idea what I can do?

Problem after Updating Finger Menu

Hi @ all!

I have a problem after i updated from version 1.09 to 1.10.

after i updated i now have in "start/programms/" still the programmes folder which contains the old fingermenu icons from version 1.09 , but the newer icons are at "start/Prgrammes/".

Can anybody tell me how i can remove the folder containing the old icons??

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbarvian:
because I only want to use it for some applications, not all of them :)

also, I don't think it consumed as much battery

great app btw
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
so you have to grab version 1.06.

Since version 1.07 I radically changed how program works: api hooking instead of message intercept. I really suggest to use latest version and add applications to exclusion list, it's very simple with left soft key menu. Old versions before 1.07 should not be used!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbarvian:
alright, do you have 1.06?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
here you are!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Maybe you can consider making the config tool part of the control panel.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\MyCpl\43]
"Name"="Finger Menu"
"Description"="Finger Menu"
"File"="\\Program Files\\FingerMenu\\FingerMenuCONFIG.exe"
"CmdLine"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Finger Menu]
"Group"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\43]
"Group"=dword:00000001

At least for HTC devices this will work ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] z80b:
Problem with open long menu item. For example in JBed (Menu/Install). :(

Is your problem similar to this one?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dark Knight:
Hi,

I've been having a really good play with FingerMenu v1.10 and think it is a brilliant app. There are a few features I thought up which would make it even more slicker. (Apols if these have been mentioned ealirer, but I think me re-stating them would be useful to many users!)

It would be ideal if the ^ icon at the top of the Finger Menu list contained the name of the menu.

As well as the 'Close' button once active, how about the ability to close the menu by simply pressing outside of the menu ? (i.e. anywhere in the greyed out background)

The Menu that pops up seem to take up the same fixed width irrespective of the calling menu. e.g. Open up the Calculator and press the bottom Left 'Edit' Button. Finger Menu engages showing a Copy and Paste option, but this takes up almost all of the display's width. It would be nice to have the option of making the window width roughly the same as the menu items. I can appreciate some users would prefer the wider width, so it might be an idea making this a configurable option

Same as above, but for row height... Perhaps if the user was able to configure the row height size and a smaller font would engage ? You could have Options of Small / Medium / Large.

Keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Star-Lite:
subtle bump... Anyone has any idea how to solve this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
to completely uninstall fingermenu, delete these files from file system:

\Windows\fingermenudll.dll

(this is the reason why you have to reboot after uninstall, it could remain attached to process gwes.exe)

\Program Files\FingerMenu (entire folder)

and the registry key

HKLM\Software\FingerMenu

Hope this will solve your problem

Hello!

Samsung Omnia With DXHK3 ROM -> Same Double Menu Issue :(

I hope you fix it, I really like finger menu!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] [germany]merlot:
I also have the double menu bug with my Omnia but what's more frustrating is the graphical issue shown on the attached screenshot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Velvis:
Im still have the same double menu issue with the new release....looking forward to a fix. Keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
sorry, but WVGA is not supported for now...but it'll be soon, don't worry!

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
new version 1.03 posted..

Please try it, it should fix the double menu bug, that unfortunately I can't reproduce on my device/emulator.

I recommend to uninstall older version and SOFTRESET the device. Sometimes the DLL remains locked, so softreset is necessary. Thanks to all!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joel2009:
I think the graphical issue may be cause by a transparency issue. I have found that if you open the window alot of times without changing the screen it clears up. (and if you swich pages after the background look like the one of the page before hand.)

post 42 has a screen shot of what the issue looks like
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryomahino:

Install 1.03...

Double menu is partially solvef for me..

But sometimes original menu appeAr behind Finger menu and in fingerMenu other bug... Not all entry work like copy paste or start menu nothing work !

don't stop good news ! the apps works !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaime Méndez:
1.03 installed

Bugs:

-Original menu somtimes appears behind FingerMenu.

-FingerMenu floats in middle of screen in some applications.

-StartMenu is blocked up by FingerMenu and non of them work.

I started to disable each className reg one by one to see which one was causing this behavior until all of them were disable. It was when at last StartMenu wasn't blocked anymore and began to work again. I thought it was so strange that the last reg was the guilty one so I started to enable them back again one by one starting from the end with the one I thought was the bad reg. SartMenu was working just fine until I finished with that last one ( first in list this time) and it was when StartMenu stopped working again. I've been doing this in any possible order and I can confirm that for some reason FingerMenu can't handle StartMenu when all ClassName regs are enable again one by one no matter which one I end with.

That is was I reported in an older post that "screenclass" ClassName was causing this but know I know it can be any.

Everything else works just fine.

Keep up your great work:)

Regards,

Jaime.

new version 1.04 posted.

You're right...sometimes standard menu remains in background because when transparent background is rendered, it still remains visible! I've introduced more delay in showing fingermenu with new version 1.04. Hope this works.

But if it still doesn't show correctly, you can put 0 on new registry value TransparencyLevel to avoid any kind of trasparency and have a simple black background.

Thanks to all!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lesscro:
DUDE ! many thanksssssssss....

It seems to be work great now... When i push Menu... Original menu appear 1 ms then FingerMenu appear normaly...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] themirthfulswami:
Works great on my xv6800! Can't wait for the 2nd level menu issue to be fixed!

One thing I've noticed is that sometimes the latency between the WM standard menu showing and FingerMenu popping up in it's place varies quite a bit on my handset. Sometimes it's instantaneous and I don't even see the WM standard menu at all, and other times the WM standard is there for half a second before FingerMenu steps in. Probably just my device :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] francarl:
great idea! thank you for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sh1v:
Tried it on Xperia. great idea but everytime i try to click on any of the item in the menu, the whole screen freezes. Only way to unfreeze it is hold the power button till the dialog box comes up saying "do you really want to turn off the power"

weird i know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kodimagnyl:
Small suggestion to great app

This makes the TD feel much nicer - thanx so much...

I would like to adjust the height of the menuitems and perhaps the font size as I find it would fit more choices without the need for scrolling.

cheers, jesper
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
it's probably some app which ur running in the foreground which isn't compatible with FingerMenu and you need to add it to the Exclusion list. I've got an Xperia too and FingerMenu works fine most of the time, except for one or two apps which either crash after awhile with FingerMenu or just don't respond when clicking on an menu item.

eg. acbTaskMan - this program crashes after using it with FingerMenu after switching graphs a couple of times.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] minglee:
Can we disable Fingermenu when device is locked?

I love this application. However, I have a problem.

When my Xperia is locked and "notification" messages come up, e.g. appointment reminder or SMS, there is no response on touching the Fignermenu and the screen freeze.

Attached the screenshot of the problem.

I would like to know if we can disable Fingermenu when device is locked and re-enable it automatically when device is unlocked.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JonnoB:
A couple of suggestions (some already mentioned) to make FingerMenu even better.

1) When clicking outside of the menu (transparency area for example), it is the same as close menu softkey in that it cancels the menu selection. This is the behaviour of the standard menu.

2) When using the d-pad to navigate up and down, scroll back to the top when you are on the last item and you click down again, it goes back to the top. Vice versa for the other direction. This is the same way that the standard menu behaves.

3) Combo-box controls - in the same manner that finger menu captures the standard menu control in the OS, you should explore doing the same for the standard combobox controls when the menu is selected. This would not work on ownerdrawn controls, but standard controls it could.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XavierGr:
Very nice program. A feature that I would like to see is to be able to change locale on the SIP just like ezsip does. One of the entries should navigate to a language selector for the HTC SIPs, on the other hand though I understand that this program is not meant only for HTC SIPs so it might be a little inconsistent in that case.

Also on landscape mode the program looses entirely it's ease of use. The entries are too big to fit and you have to scroll which is slow. Maybe spliting in two to utilize the empty wide area would be best, or an option to make the entries smaller.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Star-Lite:
it's working no :D

user interface

Hey, a little confused here, i have 2 htc hds so i dont mind experimenting with beta code on one of them.

will i be able to return to factory defaults if i install this user interface? does this application run on top of windows 6.1 or is it an alternative application? I'm a actuary did basic c++ at uni so dont know much about coding.

i liked the video on youtube showing the user interface, i hate the apple ipod phone but wouldnt mind emulating its user interface on my htc.

p.s how can someone buy u a beer?? virtual beer like on the iphone??

I didn't think it possible but indeed after installing FingerMenu 1.10 I did notice a significant drop in my battery life on my Diamond. Day after the uninstall, everything is better. I am not quite sure why processing cycles would be used on a menu app but something caused my device to chew up battery life.

I read some comments in the beginning of the thread and I did see that some experienced battery degradation with 1.10 installed.

SPB Mobile Shell and FM 1.10

Interesting thing ... when I long-click on person's picture in SPB Mobile Shell (to call that person) it brings me menu to choose what phone# to call (mobile/home/work/etc)

The problem is that menu disappear so fast that I'm not able to make a selection :(

When I turn off FM and try same thing - it works fine
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiebum:
yes to question 1 and 2, it's just another app running on Win MO for all intents and purposes.

answer to question 3: click on the Buy me a beer link and you'll see. and no, it's not virtual beer!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saltorio:
Just wanted to note (as others have) that FingerMenu 1.10 does not seem to work with the HP iPAQ 910c (which is the same as the 912 and 914 except for the region).

I installed it and didn't get anything other than a transparent (or solid when I disabled transparency) background when I selected menus in numerous default WinMo programs.

I'd love to see FingerMenu working on this phone. Thanks!

---edit---

Post 552 (a few pages back which) contains the image below showing exactly the issue I experience when attempting to open a FingerMenu menu on my iPAQ 910c.

I hope the next release works on my smartphone. Thanks again!

I think I may have found a possible bug, im not too sure if someone reported this yet.

This involves: SPB panel shell(X1) and the Touch HD Keyboard addon.

In the spb shell when I try type in a city for my weather updates, and I bring up the menu to choose what keyboard/keypad I want, the menu appears enlarged as it should be. But when I pick the keyboard/keypad type it reverts me back to the previous screen or even the main menu sometimes. I tried to see if this was a SPB problem, by disabling the fingermenu. It worked like it should by changing my input option while staying on the same screen. However with the fingermenu when I change it, it brings me back to the previous screen or the main menu, rather than staying on the same screen with the list of cities.

Does anybody else get this problem?

I might be having a similar problem. My phone is always cradled at home, and I access it with MyMobiler and the computer's mouse and keyboard. So far, every menu item I've tried to use this way, just closes the menu. When I use the menus with my finger on the physical phone, it works fine.
