Patience!

Hey ppl,

Sorry (again!) for no updates for a while, I've been real busy with work/home life but I havent for gotton GPad/you guys! Believe me, I am desperate to get time to work on it (i've already done a host of rework) and have seperated the UI from the main program (so I can later do a PROPER config program!!).

Also, **MAJOR GOOD NEWS**, after some pointers/help/testing from fm444mf (thanks again mate), it looks like we finally cracked the dpad problem with Morphgear!!!

Please be patient, I hope to release v1.0 soon!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] imranbashir_uk:
Hi Tirinoarim,

I haven’t ever used your app, but while posting on another thread I was directed to your thread as my idea overlaps yours, but as I am not a developer I thought maybe you could think about implementing this into your current G-Pad application.

Quite a few games I have tried only work up to 640 x 480. They also require a D-Pad unfortunately the Touch HD and Touch Diamond 2 don’t have a D Pad. Your G-Pad does overcome this limitation. Another option might be to have on screen virtual buttons.

The virtual buttons would sit within the unused 160 x 480 pixels so standard 640 x 480 games can carry on running without a problem. The idea is that there would be 4 cursor keys Left, Right, Up, Down and two action keys.

The app will be much more versatile as a result as it can then be used on other WM devices that may not have a G Sensor, or used by people that don’t want to use the G Sensor.

I don’t know if this is even possible, but it would be really great if it can be implemented...

What do you / others think?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] b4u2:
landscape mode?

what would make this work on landscape mode for games like Need 4 Speed? Having the pad on in the game selection screen is very hard to control.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] raising_angel:
Hey fantastic news! I must had missed that one! Fantastic Tirinoarim!

Well, what are the new features of version 1.0?

- g sensor analogue controller?

- compatibility with more apps?

- new UI?

- what else?

Could you please post a release date?

Thanks

Cheers,
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
Hey all,

GPad v2 (complete rewrite!) is now working with the Switch type applications and I hope to add in the Tilt and Accelleration types soon. Once thats done, I'll release it with the XML configuration file.

Once thats complete, I'll then write a configuration program for editing the config in a much more user friendly way.

As for an on-screen DPad, I'm afraid thats not in the scope of this project. This is designed as a purely background running G-Sensor based dpad. For an on-screen DPad, please check the work by Dredd67 here or vijay555 here

Thanks again all for your patience.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] raising_angel:
sorry,

what's the difference between Switch, tilt and accelòeration?

cheers
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
Switch - Key/DPad press happens when you tilt and re-center the device

Tilt - The more you tilt the device, the faster the Key/DPad press

Accel - The faster you tilt the device, the faster the Key/DPad press

BTW, just finished tilt mode, just accelleration mode to do now then we can go beta.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] warnold007:
Great work on this! You make me a very happy man! Now I can play games on my Omnia otherwise not possible because no D-pad.

Just a suggestion you might want to take a look at at the possibility of having a button on 'hold'. I'm trying the minimum polling of 1ms, it's good, but it doesn't give the same effect. But it's just a suggestion you can look if you have time. :)

Thanks again so much! When I get the means, you can count on my donation!

Good program But...

Hi and thank you for doing this program for G-senzor mobiles it is just great thing , I have samsung omnia and now i have chance to play games which i cannot play before like COD 2 , Duke nuken 3D ,Tomb raider and many many others , I was trying to set up setting on control games I trying it with tomb raider but for now there is no chance to set up funcionali because the commands from GPad are just puls it is not like if i holding direction button, in games that means ,for example in tomb raider,lara cannot fluently turn or run,she jammed every time she move.Maybe i do something wrong,PLEASE correct me if I 'm wrong and this function is possible in GPad,my english is not best(sorry for my eng.)but i read almost every page of this topic and dont find any clue how can i set up hollding buttons in which way i tilt mobile.I looking forward to a new version of GPad it is the best program which was designed THANS for it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] guzzo:
To Careca: yes, this program works on the Samsung Omnia.

To Marchelino: the button-hold issue has been known for a while now... Tirinoarim has got a couple of ideas on how to work around the issue, such as the button-down and button-up commands, but it could well be a while before an ideal solution is found. keep a look-out for the next versions, i'm confident that this program is only going to get better with time.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Careca:
Thanks. It is working very well. Only a question: sometime when I do a call, gpad.exe was stopped for failure. Is it successed to anybody?

Thanks. Bye

need help

Hi members,

I just found out this little app few days ago, but i absolutely have no idea how this app works on TD2, sorry i really can't figure out, somebody can give me some instruction

thank you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Careca:
Hi. I have added the details of error in attachment. Help me, please.

Bye
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] guzzo:
to Careca:

i've also experienced this error on a number of occasions, it will usually occur (for me) when the omnia's screen turns off, meaning the device has turned itself off or has gone into sleep mode (wifi, bluetooth, and some other services are disabled)... i'm guessing (after half-understanding the error jargon) that this error comes from the accelerometer (the machine which measures movement) in the Omnia turning off, and GPad losing input data, which then causes a fatal error... i've found that on a few occasions that after the GPad getting an error, the next time you try to start GPad it also receives an error...

the first error is understandable, i guess... the second one might merit a look from the Tirinoarim, but as long as the app you use GPad with pauses when you get a call too/doesn't require the GPad constantly, then it's just a matter of restarting GPad afterwards...

PS: Careca, on another topic, if you want to add something to what you've said before in this forum, you can use the "edit" button at the bottom right of your original post.

Thanks for the feedback, and if you have any more questions, i'll do what i can to help out!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Careca:
Thanks for your reply. I hope that the bug will be solved, because the application is very useful!

EDIT: I have a problem with End of Call button that it dont't work anymore.

I understand that the problem is <ToggleKey>115</ToggleKey>

Can you tell me another code for ToggleKey (ex. Camera Button)?

Thanks

Hey thanks a lot but unless you fix and hold your screen to an absolutely flat position, Gpad keeps playing the annoying sound. Moreover, I installed NFS and after launching it the menu's keep on the game kept scrolling and is very difficult to select any of them.

Any solution for this?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hdaackda:
wonderful app!! keep up the good work!

thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
Increase the value of "CenterY". 0 means GPad is centered when the device is flat, increasing this causes GPad to be centered when the device is tilted (the higher the value, the greater the angle).

Hi, the program is amazing, but still not working in PocketGBA, during the setup of PocketGBA, it seems working properly, but in the game it's not responding......
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
PocketGBA (and some other programs such as PacMan) specifically look for DPAD commands, not simple keypresses. This is fixed in the new version and I am desperately trying to find time to get it in a releasable state.

Please be patient!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] m_the_chosen_one:
..

nice work ..

.. but i got a question,

why you're working on something that is already exist with a much better performance ? ..

there is a program called "GController", its function is the same,

but it's so much professional .. and got so many options like the zero point and the degree of rotations and so many things ...

but, over all .. thanks ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
As stated back in January (see post #13), thats written for the Diamond (not 100% on HD) and development has stopped.

As far as options, GPad hasmany options too including zero point, message input method etc. As far as being "professional", no, I dont have a pretty configuration program (yet), I am concentrating on getting the application working first. GController, whilst looking very pretty, is (by the authors own admission) unstable.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
The problem here is that you mixed up XML with XSD. The XSD is a schema (description) of the XML file. It basically describes whats allowed in the XML and can be used with an XML editor to create/edit/validate an XML file.

I have added a new file to the first post which contains an example config which has ALL the possible options in there. If you take a look at that file, I hope it will be clear how you need to construct your XML.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fredskis:
Sorry to bother again but will you be adding CenterX tuning support?

Can u give me a hand pls?!

Hello Tirinoarim,

Happy New Year ......Everybody:D

I have a problem when i install the "Virtual G-Pad",

Could u give me a hand pls?

When i depressed the "GPad.zip"and install the "GPad.exe File,

it shown:MissingMethodException

can't find the file "sensors,

Version=1.0.3394.27574,

Culture=neutral,PublickeyToken+null"

What can i do?

PS//Sorry for my poor English....:o

I live in Hong Kong,

my WM phone is Htc HD2 Tradition Chinese Edition.

And i really really try my best to translate that it shown on my phone from chinese to English.....

Sorry:(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
You cant run the GPad.exe file straight from the zip file. GPad needs the sensors.dll which is also in the zip file.

Just create a GPad folder somewhere and put all the files from the zip in that folder. GPad.exe should then run fine.

config error

I'm a bit of a newbie so i apologize in advanced.

i'm trying to see if this will work with Fpsece (the playstation emulator) and morphgear

but i'm not sure how to change the config file to recognize these applications. below is what i added and advice is appreicated.

thanks for your help in advanced :)

</Application>

<ExeName>fpsece_0.10</ExeName>

<KeyMethod>SendInput</KeyMethod>

<Keys>

<KeyUp>Onscreen_05=11</KeyUp>

<KeyDown>Onscreen_10=13</KeyDown>

<KeyLeft>Onscreen_06=14</KeyLeft>

<KeyRight>Onscreen_11=12</KeyRight>

<Keys>

<MaxKeyTick>1</MaxKeyTick>

<MinKeyTick>10</MinKeyTick>

</Application>
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
Not tried fpsece_0.10 myself but theres a couple of things i spotted in your config. first off, you need ".exe" on the end of your exe name and secondly, your <Keys> element isnt terminated properly (should be </Keys>) and i have no idea what the "Onscreen_" stuff is!!!! Finally, try adding in the new VK_DPAD flag. Your final config section should look something more like this...

</Application>
<ExeName>fpsece_0.10.exe</ExeName>
<KeyMethod>SendInput</KeyMethod>
<VK_DPAD>true</VK_DPAD>
<Keys>
<KeyUp>38</KeyUp>
<KeyDown>40</KeyDown>
<KeyLeft>37</KeyLeft>

physical buttons

I am still using the apache because I have not like anything that has come out since. I got my wife the mogul and then they gave her the touch pro when it broke. I like the touch pro 2 but am annoyed they gave up the joystick/dpad for a zoom bar. They could have put the zoom bar on the screen. I like to read articles and be able to press the Dpad down once and scroll to the begining of the next page without having to touch the screen which anyways wouldnt take me exactly to the top of the next page. I am impressed with your solution but am still wanting a phyisical button. I could go landscape and use the arrows/enter button but I want one handed control in portrait. Has anyone tried to map the volume up down button to scroll when in IE or opera?

Not working with Xtrakt

Hi, guys.

I think this is a cool project, and kudos to Tirinoarim. You rock, dude.

So I downloaded the latest file from the first page, and tried it with Xtrakt in my TP2. First, I found that it won't work at all, so I checked and Xtrakt is in the Mouseapps section of the config.xml by default. Is this all right?

Then I tried moving the application to the Tiltapps section with the following code:

<Application>
<ExeName>Xtrakt.exe</ExeName>
<CenterY>0</CenterY>
<DeadZoneY>10</DeadZoneY>
<MaxY>40</MaxY>
<KeyMethod>KeybdEvent</KeyMethod>
<MaxKeyTick>1</MaxKeyTick>
<MinKeyTick>10</MinKeyTick>
</Application>

Now, in the options screen I can get the highlight to move around by tilting (both X and Y), but during the actual game the bike still won't respond to tilting.

Could it possibly be an issue with my phone? When I'm running GPAD.exe the response is all right (the dot moves around with tilting).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
I think the main game uses specific DPad input. The latest version of DPad *does* support this but I've not tried it with XTrakt myself.

Bad news I'm afraid tho, I've moved over to Android (HTC Desire). There wasnt a *huge* amount of interest in this and so development has stopped.

If enough people ***** and whine at me then I'll put the source on here for someone else to pick up.

Take care all, its been fun.

Works very well on my Touch HD! Have you considered to take in account landscape mode?

In my case I am using automatic landscape switching tool. In connection with your tool the directions are mixed up in landscape of course.

Looking forward to see next version! Thanks!
