[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cshepley:
I am working on a virtual mouse driver for the capacitive touch panel for the Touch Pro/Diamond. It is based on the optical mouse included with the Samsung Epix and will be enabled/disabled via a gesture in the bottom panel. The right side of the panel will serve as the mouseregion and the left side will be used for right and left mouse buttons.

I wanted to guage interest and know who was interested in getting in on the beta. I am about a week out from releasing a beta of the driver and if you PM me your e-mail address I will give you updates and let you know when it becomes available.

Take care,

Chris Shepley

P.S. If any one has any additional feature ideas, I am willing to listen to them.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] eami:
I'm interested in it ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] richardrk:
First off- Thank you i am so glad you are doing this as i have been waiting for some time

for someone to pick up this project. (ie. my lack of programming skills.)

But i do have some pointers...

You did say you were using the left and right panels for controls right?

Why not use the center button (like the Epix) to control the mouse, click

the center button for left click, and click and hold the center button for a right

click (same as tapping and holding the screen in some programs.

And to enable and disable the mouse cursor, do like you said with the touch

panel gestures.

Just my two cents.

Like i said before, thank you and goodluck on this project.

This would be great, my wife has the epix and thought that it was the coolest.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
Sounds great but I would hope navigation is made from the left of the panel, with left click of the mouse with the center button... Hopefully the scroll function of the wheel can be retained for scrolling down pages and then using the other pieces of the pad for mousing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cshepley:
It will be ambidextrous and user configurable as I am a lefty living in a righty world. I am going to try to retain the scroll, but I am not sure it will be possible as it senses a pretty wide band around the center button for scroll. In addition to allowing the user to configure which side is used for touch I am considering several different setups for buttons, but want to get the basic driver completed before digging too deeply into user settings. I do intend to rely heavily on the diamond/raphael community for testing once I reach beta. Right now it is still very basic, but maturing quickly.

I haven't decided if I am going to make it open source or not, but I am leaning toward doing so as I have been influenced by some of butler's code and a serial mouse driver for CE that Microsoft released the source to.

I am also using a hybrid of c++ and c# for the application, so .Net CF 3.5 will be required. If I get a lot of requests for a pure c++ version I may eventually consider it, but it s unlikely. People should have .Net CF 3.5 installed anyhow if they are power users.

I am also hoping that the completed product will be good enough to tempt some of the chefs of the more popular ROMs to include it as OEM software. I do have a background in commercial software development so I know the level of pollish will eventually get there but it may take a few revs before it is at that level.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Kraize:
Definately interested in this!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] norkoastal:
Sounds very thought out... Thanks for developing this as I find it almost a waste of capacitive tech hiding in the bottom of our screens.. Gscroll has some nice features (launch pads, side to side, up/down scrolling), but a virtual mouse would put it over the top if it has decent speed and scrolling built in (point, center click, cap scroll). If you can try to make the program compatible with Opera/IE, I would find that a big edge over whats out there today.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] petard:
I was thinking about this earlier! Very interested! I was also thinking that the other side could be used to scroll. Like swiping up and down would scroll the page up and down (not the cursor). This would be really cool for opera.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] danbutter:
Sounds like a great idea!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CR7KB24:
WOW! I am really interested in this, it sounds like a great idea! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] killerscene14:
how is it different from the GRemote?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] ldrn:
This sounds like an interesting and fun idea. Good luck with it! :) Until I read through the thread, I hadn't realized the center scroll would still work -- wow.

@killerscene: Gremote has the PDA at as a mouse, while he means having a mouse on the PDA controlled by the capacitive sensor.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Antzor:
def very interested in this. Would be EXTREMELY useful. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] baldo_hk:
That's great to hear that you are working on this idea. Actually, I have been working on it for more than a month but could not get it done quite right.

The major problem that I have encountered is that the sensitivity of movement on the left and right touch panel is low. It will make the mouse movement sluggish, and is extremely difficult to control small mouse movement.

I have discovered that, when mode 4 (that is the wheel mode) is enabled, then right after you give a rotate gesture on the wheel until the LED lit up, the left and right panel will become very responsive to the finger movement. This, however, holds only for some version of the htcnavi.dll. That means there must be some way to activiate the touch panels to higher sensitivity mode. I hacked it for a long time, but could not succeed. I tried polling the nav sensors, in a similar way like butler's method (essentially, butler call DeviceIOControl to read data, while I was calling HTCNavGetData instead), but polling at a higher frequency did not result in higher precision in sensing finger locations.

I hope that you will succeed eventually, and share with us how to increase the sensitivity in reading finger location.

Good luck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cshepley:
That unfortunately is something i am running into too. I am trying to get around it through modifying acceleration values as you get closer to the edge so that it moves faster in the middle and slower aroundthe edges. I still don't have it working quite right, but I'm giving it a go.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] TomasNM:
I wrote this already in Butler thread...

I can imagine the left/right part(configurable for left-handed people) for mouse movement and act.button touch for emulation of tap/hold. Mouse mode can be enabled with starting a exefile or sliding finger down-up(bringup a mouse cursor) and disabled by sliding finger opposite of movement side up-down(shutdown mouse cursor). In landscape it should be fixed on left-side,90dgrs rotated,so you can have access for mouse cursor in ls mode.

What are you thinking about this guys?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] player911:
There was a thread about this just the other day in one of the forums (Diamond, Raphael, or Developers section, idk).

Coming from a Samsung Epix, which has an optical sensor, it really makes navigating the OS a lot faster. You soon learn to use both the mouse with your thumb on one hand, and your index finger on the other hand to scroll flick, taps, etc. Basically you begin using both inputs simultaneously.

It really speeds things up.

It might mess with playing games using the default dpad, unless it was disabled prior. Perhaps include another mode which switches around the hotspots to form a virtual dpad. I think a winning solution would be to toggle the options between Mouse Mode, Virtual Dpad Mode, Normal Mode.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=473023

GRemote uses the GSensor for navigation. We are talking about having an actual mouse cursor that is controlled by the touchpad.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] KD8DNS:
If need be, I would be more than happy to test and help you in any way possible.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] shirreer:
A marvelous idea, mate. If I may, I must ask you to consider employing the navi-button to simulate left click & double left click by applying light touches rather than full press; not only will it make using the mouse single-handedly possible, but will also leave one of the pad's sides entirely available for extra functions which you might be contemplating.

Otherwise, I'm excited that you're taking this up... best of luck

Regards...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] yzf750:
Is this what your trying to do? Its not "touch" but works fine on my Fuze as a one finger d-pad mouse pointer control.

http://www.innovisoft.com/virtuamouse/
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cshepley:
Similar, but free and using the capacitive touch sensor instwead of the d-pad (I have some other apps that already use the d-pad for a virtual mouse too).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] player911:
That mouse actually uses the sucky Dpad controls to maneuver the mouse cursor. What we are talking about is similar but controlling the mouse via the touchpad.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rctneil:
Can I join this update list too please!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] TomasNM:
Well,someone can have different meanings,if the control area isn't too small(I read it already somewhere). I don't think so,because Omnia/i780 have much smaller area to control the cursor and it is useable.

Anyway,I am also interresting about.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] iago_00:
I would really love to try this app when ready. Using the touch capacities is a lot better then using the d-pad click, which effectively sucks.

I would say though that it is better if the left click could be implemented on the center button click.

looking forward to this app
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] techman28:
If possible, I would like to be a beta tester as well.

This virtual mouse idea sounds awesome! Cant Wait!!!

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] dharvey4651:

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rebelmuddlite:
i would like to see an app or a different config of your app once you get it running where you place your phone on a mouse pad battery side down and it use the camera like an optical sensor on a mouse and you can use your phone as a bluetooth mouse instead of using the g-sensor and the left click be the end key and the right click be the send key and the capacitive area in the middle could be a scroll wheel like on a regular mouse. just a thought. anyone think this a good idea?:confused::confused::confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] miron721:
I'm bringing this up because it's a genius idea. And I mean the whole "have a mouse on the phone" thing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] proj3ktpat:
I agree with petard in that it would be really nice to think about using one side for the mouse controls, and the other side for scrolling (rather than left and right click) since the circular scrolling would have to be disabled. You could then use the center button as left and right click (press vs press & hold) as someone else mentioned.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Mr.Sir:
I am waiting anxiously :D Keep it up!!!

And remember that I was the first one who posted this idea on XDA :)

I had a problem with my phone and had to hard reset. Of course everything went back to the original settings, except my internal storage. It is there and I can put files on there but when install a program it does not give me the option to install in on it. When I use file explorer it just sees it as another folder.

Is there a way to change the settings and fix this?

Hi,

with this tool

i make more testing on it and it depends on the rom in my eyes, sometimes i used 16MB and also 32MB, with my last build i feel that 24MB gives me best performance, if you look at cmex he uses i think 12MB as example, so i think it is hard to say what the best is.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] pavana:
Hi,

I am using at the moment following ROM:

CE OS 5.2.20755 Build 20755 1c.M2D.2009

cooked by Hoang An,

which I downloaded from this site.

It is fast and working very good EXCEPT:

very once in a while the phone starts suddenly searching for service provider and it stays in this searching state. When I turn off the phone through comm. manager and turn it on - it finds the service provider again.

When I use the same SIM card in another phone - this problem does not come up. So, it is the problem of the phones' hardware or its software.

As I am often on on-call duty, I must be sure that the phone has always found the provider.

That is why I have following questions:

1. Has anybody had this problem?

2. Is this problem specific for this cooked ROM or is it often that something like this happens with Prophet?

3. Does anybody know how to correct this problem?

Thanx for your help.

[General Questions and Answers] erenken:
Sorry if this doesn't make complete sense. This is new to me.

We are looking at a product from www.transplantgps.com, but the problem is the device comes with .NET CF 2.0. I don't have a problem with it being Windows CE 5, but not having CF 3.5 and the SQL 3.5 components built into the OS is a problem. The device doesn't use FLASH for the OS partition so when you reset the device you lose any changes and I lose the CF 3.5 that I installed.

I am working with them on trying to get these cabs as part of the main firmware/os:

NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab - .NET Compact Framework 3.5

sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i.cab - SQL Compact 3.51 Core

sqlce.repl.ppc.wce5.armv4i.cab - SQL Compact 3.51 Replication and OLEDB

This would need to be the wce version of NETCF. We don't need CF 2.0 just the 3.5 version.

Right now they are telling me that their firm in China doesn't know how to do this. What I am looking for is to see if this is even possible.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Eric
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
If i'm not mistaken... yes, the problem is then compatibility with .net cf 2. If 2 is built in you can always install 3.5 via cab but you have problems trying to do it the other way around.

Hi, I'm the proud owner of an ELF(in). I bought it on ebay very cheap because it was in bootloader mode. Thanks to the gold card method I've been using it with no problems at all.

Yesterday I bought another one (ELF), it hangs after 3-5 seconds of power on (bootloader, loading windows, etc). Sometimes the screen just shuts off, sometimes everyting becames green. So, I decided to put it in the refrigerator and see what happens. After 15 minutes I powered it up and it works! I take it out and hangs almost immediately. Is this just a faulty unit? No hope for it? (I don't want to carry my refrigerator everywhere).
