Hello everyone.
Thanks to all those people offering their services as beta testers.
I have begun work on the T9 input method. I would like some help in designing a skin. This needs to be a .bmp file. I will send you the initial bmp I have used for testing, and you should use similar layout for the buttons.
I don't mind if the layout changes, as long as it is easy to use with fingers (not stylus).
The size of the bitmap, however, must not change. It should be 240 x 160.
The yellow area I included for two function buttons (ie, change word, and number mode) 1 will do a space, and 0 will do punctuation.
To the administrators - could you possibly stick the bitmap on the site somewhere, as I don't have a server to use for downloads?
Martin,
First of all, u can use my server for storage, i figure the files r small so it wont mather. just e-mail me the files, or just put in a zip, and i'll send u the link. second I like to see if i can come up with a nice design.
Yeah, no probs.
I've also realise the keypad used for the phone is exactly the right size for me. So If you want to reskin the phone (maybe relable some of the buttons if it would make using it easir), then that is fine.
Everbody,
Here is the file from Martin. http://www.stoelman.com/T9_sms.bmp
Ok people... we've come up with an initial design for the keypad, and I've done the initial work on the T9 input panel. I have a suitable skin, and will be working with this to create button positions.
This skin is not final, and may be changed as we work on the functionality, but when it has been finalised, I will be opening up for new skins to be created. It is anticipated that this will be configurable on the final release, so you will not need to be disappointed if yours isn't chosen!
I am now writing the business logic. I hope to get plenty of work done this weekend, and I'll keep you all informed of progress.
Thanks
Martin
Martin,
How's your project comming along? is it allready far enough for beta testing.
Unfortunately not yet. I'm currently waiting for some dictionary stuff. As soon as I have that, it can continue.
Regards
Martin
UPDATE
Just to update you. I have been in touch with tegic over the licensing of T9. We are currently discussing this.
I have to warn you, though, that because i have to license T9 from Tegic, there will be royalties to pay. I don't yet know the amount, but I'm guessing at about £15 per unit sold. In order to provide assurances to Tegic, the software will have to be licensed based on the IMEI of the target device.
I will keep you all informed of the progress of these negotiations, if they even get beyond this stage.
Big corporates
Nice idea, I have used the t9 on many phones for years.
Siemens c35 and ME45, Sony j3e, Nokia 6310i.
Would making something similar not just simply work? or simplifing the keypad in this way is totally owned by t9 ?
I look forward to a bit of beta testing...
I would like to find a way around it. But it's difficult to get hold of an 'ideal' word list that is compressed, contains 'appropriate' words of the right quantity. and is indexed. I can do the indexing if a good dic is found.
I could also look at alternatives - just awaiting some more communication from T9.
I have done something similar for Palm with graphitti (graphitti can be hell, too ;-)) and would offer u any help u need.
I did create a post..asking if anyone had started work on this...
Got not one reply...
Seeing as i have them both.. x1 and HD..
So.. i thought.... Lets have a go....
Proof of concept only.....not a distributable version.
Sony Xperia X1 Panels.....Running on Touch HD
It's got a long way to go and lots of work needed... but it should
end up a very good addition to the Touch HD, and once done, work can commence on porting to different resolutions.
I like the look of this front end alot better than the TF3D
What do you guys reckon?
THERE IS NO CAB. ASK AT YOUR PERIL!
Anyone asking for it, will be flogged, tarred, feathered and called a leper!

There has been advances but very slow ones, It has been very "finiky" getting those "right changes" to commit more "stability changes"
It is because the HD was never meant to host Panels, and thus, is causing me a real pain in the backside! I'm currently looking at different roms, and versions of software, to try alternate file versions, to see if a combination is what is needed. Once this part is done, it should address a great deal of issues. Upto about 3 Hard resets a night, I think i should have a special button to do it on the back!
03/12/2008
It has been brought to my attention, there is a Cab available on another thread, but i have no input on this.
It is at the same point i was about a month ago.
It is a simple copy and paste from a X1 and is unstable.
I did not put out a version like this, as It requires your phone be reset after running panels after about 5 times, and i am aware why.
I thought It would be unfair to users to give them something that would pretty much trash the stability of the HD.
You know where it is if you do not care about this, and just want to install it.
I will not be putting out my version till i know atleast it will not trash your phone. That would subtract from the work done, and after some of us spending 500GBP+ the last thing needed is a paperweight.

With the help of 'Keni'.. a new junior member... He has helped move us along also.. and produced...
The Panel icon on the titlebar.
It does need work.. and for it to function i need help again from nelshh
But he has no-doubt spent alot of time.. and got some code done.
I have to commend his effort.. and now wish to happily add him to the contributer list along with nelshh
See post 304 for pic and wmv
Thanks keni !
I am still working on te next alpha build and am struggling with the concurrence manager.
After using panels chooser anywhere from 5-10 times.. it egg timers out.. and batt out is the only recourse.
The testing on one of my HD's is now at a point.. it is a daily reset at minimum,,, but i'll carry on.
27/11/08
This has been such a painful last few days.... I have had unknown numbers of hard-resets trying to get the failing panels to operate properly.
2 developers are currently trying to help create the panel icon (see post 104) If anyone else can help aaswell...????
At the moment.. it's still doign my head in... but i am still working on this..
Those of you who have made donations.. and the kind words.. I am very grateful... and the bottle of White Zinfandel has been bought.. and shall be devoured tomorrow by her.!
I know alot of you guys are awaiting on me.. and that's why i haven't stopped.
Thanks guys... (and their mrs's for not divorcing them!)
PS.. my wife also wants a developer to create a couple of buttons on her omnia.
One button = Husband puts down phones!
Two Button = Husband does not grunt when asked question by her.. cos he is engrossed in panels!
Three button = Husband does not buy another new phone ever ever ever again!
I told her.. this is impossible... but she still asked me to find out.
23/11/08
The Alpha Cab has gone out to 5 selected testers.
This is a test version.. with many bugs.
So far.. this is the feedback
It installs.
It launches
It works
However.
Media panel & Facebook panel don't work on Alpha 0.02
Panel launcher Working. 3 testers had issues with relaunches after 5 times.It then becomes unresponsive
TF3d / Coloured Xperia / Silver Xperia / Radio Panel / SPB Panel / Google panel and Fish Panel all operate.
Animation works well on all.
I will work to address some of these.. and release a second alpha cab only to the Alpha testers.
19/11/2008
Alpha Build 0.02.

15/11/2008
Big jump made by all work done by nelshh (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=916337)
He has developed a working prototype that will call the panel manager tab.
So.. AS OF TODAY.. the 15th.. thanks to nelshh, we have something that now functions..and needs finalising and wrapping.
I will contact people to see if you can also help.
But please give nelshh a big thanks on this thread... for all his work in his project Xperiatweak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440035)... and also his work on here.
Thanks nelshh

hi,
Am sure lot of guys here would be interested to do the testing & developement for you.Can you post here, how you started with porting panels onto HD? I searched for the panels cab and cant find anything on this xda ? Would be useful if you could give some more information,
regards
vijayvasa
works fine on HD?
Is much slower than xperia?
The panels looks good on HD as comapre to X1 because of the large screen. Do share the cabs and procedure to do that once you are done.
Thanks in advance.
Hope the panels work faster than on the X1 otherwise they are useless. On the X1 they are way to slow to work productively with them.
But the chance that they work faster on the HD are small, right? Cos the hardware of both the X1 and the HD are about the same, are they?
Also looking forward for a cab file for testing them by myself.

Hello Harvsingh,
I would be very interested in helping you, but I have absolutely no experience in programing (besides my old ti-83plus). Do you think I could help you somehow? Can you tell me what I should do? I don't want to loose this project only because nobody here wants to help... So, if I can do something, I'll try to do it!! I think I'll get my HD this week, than I can try everything and if you tell me, also other things. I really want to help... Greez, cad^^
Wow HarvSingh !
Good for you! Looks like a good job on the face of it!
Great to see this post!
Have seen someone porting TouchFlo3D to Xperia, and was wondering whether anyone would port the Xperia Panel over to Touch HD.
Well, hopefully you would share the cab file for the rest of us to do a test on it, and more people to come and improve on it.
Do you manage to get the gold fish to work too? Guess it would really be nice to let the gold fish swim on the bigger screen.

Thanks for the words.....
Yes.. all panels work.. but not after a reboot..
Fish are very happy in the bigger tank.. and stroking the screen has the same affect on scared little fishy
It's now a case in finding out what is causing it to flap itself on a reboot.
On a hard reset... going through my way to wedge the panels in.. works... then on reboot... i cannot start it.
Also.. after selecting the panel you want.. i'm still to find the call it makes from the X1 panel button to call up panel chooser with the tiled view.. so. when you've selected the panel.. you cannot re-choose another.
but.. this is my first day in doing this.. and i guess i'll plod along.. till i find it.. or just think screw it.

Have you definitely told it to not load the TouchFlo3D? That may interfere with it after a reboot.

Well to be honest, the Panels are more a marketing USP than anything else. While they are convenient, I have no issue or propensity against going into each thing separately as per normal.
But if you could get it working fully, it would be great. SonyEricsson wouldn't be too happy about it though I think !
For me, this is an extremely exieting project, because I only hoped/feared that there'll be some developers, bringing some great programs for the panels and nobody else could use them. Like spb-panel, I like it really a lot from what I've seen in videos. So, than I could have the best of both worlds, on a biiig screen^^ please, work on, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's very, very interestet in this project!!! And I want to congratulate you already for the work you've done until now!! Its amazing!!! Go on, finish it I wish you good, good luck and if you need any help I could do, I give you my word that I'll try to do my best!! Many greez, cad^^
Hi all
Video showing it running on a Touch Hd.. for the conspiracy theorists.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jo0ZhxOi8s
I don't get the video. Could you explain what's going on ?
I didn't have the audio on, if there was any, but it's just showing that it's possible. That's the first time I've seen it in action, and I'll admit it may be a little slow, but it looks better than the TouchFlo3D... I'd definitely install it.

No-one wants to hear me talk...
So. i just quicky launched it up.. and ran through..
All buttons work.. i was trying to juggle a TYTN II... look at the phone and tytn.. and press buttons... so .. i may not have pressed buttons properly..
But.. trust me.. they all work... and as quick/quicker than on the Sony X1.def not slower.

lol, nothing personal just my wife's asleep next to me, unwell.
But good news on the speed. I do hope you're able to make an easy to use cab file of it. No hurry as far as I'm concerned though. Not getting an HD yet. But definitely the first thing I'll download for it!
Now this is a new issue...Once started, on portrait mode, the slingplayer screen takes half the screnn of the HD.Also it is impossible to change channels as the buttons seem pressed there.
On Landscape mode the screen is filled up almost to the 90% capacity of the HD , thus making it very very comfortable to watch.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix the portrait mode???
Thanks
slingplayer impossible to use (touchscreen version)
has anyone managed to get slingplayer mobile working well on Touch HD? The buttons are impossible to use for the remote very small and not mapped correctly, also the full screen is not the whole screen only part of it.. anyone got any tips? I searched but noone seems to have solved this?
Hope it's sorted soon, asked the wife for a Slingbox for xmas :/

its just about usable although slow to use the menus for remote control functions but the streaming and PQ are excellent so its worth having!
I have it working.
I cannot however hand out the version I am using.
So, please wait. a version that does work perfectly with HD is on its way. I can also state SlingMobile version coming out soon works perfectly on Omnia and on the X1.
Sorry I can't hand this out, and please do not ask, as refusal may offend.
Ah... wonderful news indeed as this is one of my favorite apps.
awesome, figured out I can get the current version usable with Sky plus by using the favourites buttons to set the most common remote control functions but it would be good to have a version that works with WVGA properly!! Any idea on timelines for the newer version?
Any News?

Moved to Themes, Applications and Software forum
Good day, dear people!
I am very much interested in buying the HD Mini. But I still have a few residual doubts. The sturdiness of the thing is one such qualm, but the main question mark is the screen resolution.
Dabbling with freeware is one of my hobbies (and the reason for sticking to Windows Mobile for a bit longer). I have loads of apps installed on my current phone (being a humble HTC Touch of the first generation) Examples being (in no particular order):
Paint Now, VNC, Total Commander, MyNote, Nitrogen, Made, Space Time, PocketGravity, PocketSand, Swirly, Mobile Fractals, MobiPocket, GoDAft, TempoPerfect, ToneBox, BlueHoo, WiFiFofum, DeluxeMoon, PocketXPDF, MobileMonger, AdvancedConfig, BatteryStatus, and VSPainter.
All these apps run perfectly well on the Touch's 240x320 screen.
Is there anybody out there who can tell me how they fare on the HD Mini?
Much obliged!
Regards,
wim
Hi,
Nitrogen runs without problems.
Total Commander runs, but there R problems with the lower button row.
The other apps I dont know...
Thanks Peppo.
I was going to propose to make a list. But while I was doing so, I noticed something: most apps people mention in other threads seem to be working just fine.
Maybe the resolution is not such a big deal after all.

For the overlapping problems of Total Commanders bottom row there is a beta available, that solves this problem - which seems to be a common problem of 6.5 devices.
so, where is this TC beta to be found?
Obviously by the designer:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
That's where I looked, but the most recent version of TC pocket edititon dates back to 2008. Can't imagine this solving any problems on the HD mini.
But maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way...
Edit: Okay, forget about that. I didn't scroll all the way down. (Who expects the most recent release at the bottom of the page?!)
Thanks!
Yep. Works fine.
Okay, so I did buy the HD mini without waiting for the feedback I asked for in the first post of this thread.
Here's what I encoutered so far as far as freeware is concerned:
DeluxeMoon: when run, it appears as a small stamp in the top left corner of the screen, which makes it unusable.
Paint Now: seems to work okay.
MyNote: works fine.
PocketSand: buttons don't work, screen doesn't fit (too small).
Swirly: doesn't fit the screen.
GoDaft: works fine.
WifiFofum: works, but the screen is stretched vertically.
MobileMonger: works fine.
Haven't tried the rest yet.
Has anyone tried any of the configuration tools that are out there, such as Advanced Configuration, PocketToolman, HTC Customizer, and - especially - BatteryStatus?
Very curious whether these stil work!
i use this mini well
i don't advise anyone to buy hd mini
i have baught it and its a bad experiance , it is slim and hd screen and colors ,
but now after one month use , while i move it you thing the phone in moving in side the cover.
second it does not have double camra and you can not do a video call
useless 3G
I Think HTC is only making people fool by daily bringing new model with no change
just name and alittle bit change in shape
no new technologies
Multi 2.0 is an application that shows the Dual-Touch Technology and explain how it works!

Click to see this picture,it may tell you something about it.:
Also
It's Not exactly on the GamePad that "You can ONLY MOVE the SECOND finger you put with your First finger FIXED!"
Just do these step by step,if you wanna understand what I mean:
1.Run this app and turn to "Gamepad" page
2.Press the left-button with a finger of your left hand
3.Press a round-button with a finger of your right hand
-Now You can only move your right-hand finger.
4.Release your left-hand finger.
5.Do as the Step 2 again.
-Now You can only move your left-hand finger.
That's all.
[Explanation]
After Releasing your first finger.The Fake Point inside would go out of the screen.
So the app knows that you have release your first finger.
And it would treat the Second Point as a New First Point.
It means that you can set a New Second Point again and move it.without releasing all your fingers!
[27,July 2010]VGA & WQVGA versions Available Now!
Features:
Picture - You can drag the picture with one finger or stylus and zoom the picture with two fingers[Pinch to Zoom]
GamePad - An On-Screen GamePad that support up to two pressed buttons!
Fact - To show how this application works inside.
Just download and run it without installing..
It may work on all WinMo with resistive screens.
need .NET CF 3.5/3.7 which I think you all know it.
Notice:
My English may be too suck to be understood.
Touch the screen with two fingers one by one but not at the same time!(You can do it quickly even it seems to be done at a time)
To zoom the picture,a gab of about 2cm between two fingers is needed when you start touching the screen!
A Chinese version of sentence for who may understand its translation better than the English version:想要缩放图片,两只手指在按下的时候必须有大约2cm的间距!
You can ONLY MOVE the SECOND finger you put with your First finger FIXED![Not exactly on the GamePad]
How it works?
See the "Fact" part of the application.
And touch the screen with two fingers(one by one).
You'll get three points:
Fixed Point - It is got when you put your First finger.
Real Point - It is truely detected by the hardware when two fingers are put.
Fake Point - where your second finger put.As a matter of fact,the hardware doesn't know anything of it.The position is worked out by the application.
How to get the Position of the second Finger?
NOTICE that when two or more fingers are put on the screen,the hardware would just get the Point in the central of shape which is made up by fingers' Positions.
So.Two fingers's positions(points) make a line.And the hardware gets the "Real Point" in the middle of the line.
Reversely think.We've got the First finger's Position and the Mid Position.
The Second Finger's Position should be in the direction opposite the First finger through the Mid Position.
PS
-This is my first post here.
-I know some members here has been developing the Multi-Touch(Dual-Touch) technology.But I had the idea of creating multi-touch application last year.
-The picture on the application written "Mobile 2.0" but not "Multi 2.0".It's a website[mobile20.com.cn] in China that make evaluations of mobile.The Chinese version of this application was released there on June 7,2010

Pretty interesting app just tested it on my wvga phone
But what really caught my eye was the gamepad thing. Would love to see this in morphgear so we have dualtouch which would make many games more playable.
Maybe I dream to much but still would be great
Do you have future projects for resistive screens now?

Thx!!But I haven't got a paypal account yet..It may takes one year till I'm 18 years old.
Great App! I have tested it on my Touch Pro (VGA Screen). In Gamepad mode I have only one round button but everything else worked good!
If both fingers are horizontal to the screen its pretty precise, if I have my fingers diagonal on the screen it differs much.
But: Thank you for your app, it shows that it is possible
Greets
The QVGA won't work on my kaiser .
The pinch zoom works though, Nice work!
The second finger on the screen is a bit off, from the fact tab, so that's why the gamepad doesn't work too well. It registers a press in another spot.
Which file do u use on VGA?
Multi2.0 QVGA.7z or Multi2.0 WVGA.7z ?

Ya I found the problem,too.

Sorry for my english and keep creating such a good applications! ;d
Any plans to work on a ..?
@TangoChen Any plans to work on a system–wide pinch to zoom solution? OndraSter has been workin' on one here, but has gone on holiday. Perhaps, you two should collaborate.
It would be great if you managed to replace the HD2's resources files and fool the entire system in thinking you actually have a capacitive screen.
The DLL (or any other kind of resource files, I didn't study this in detail, but for instance, just checking the "Pinch to zoom" menu in BSB Tweaks instantly crashes the HD ! ) could then be added in cooked ROMs and simulate the official "pinch to zoom" behavior...
thanks
that's great job
