Hey guys... I've recently changed my service provider. Each time I place a phone call I need to dial a prefix before the actual number. I've tried to set the prefix like I once did on my old XDA with WM2003, but it seems that this facility is absent from O2 XDA Exec.
Does anyone know how to set a phone prefix with WM5?
Use MyPrefixDial. Yoy may download at www.hkscorpio.com

Thank you for replying to my post.
I'm afraid I have been unable to find the link to the software you're suggesting at the webpage you have given me.
Could you please give me more details?
Thank you!

Download my upload cab file.
Thank you for the file and I really appreciate the time you've taken to post a reply to my enquiry. I've already installed it and it's working fine! It's gonna come very handy whenever I travel abroad.
I'll take the liberty and ask you one more thing. On WM2005, the "New" command which was found on the bottom left corner of the previous editions of Windows Mobile is now absent. Are you aware of any file which could bring back this facility to WM2005?
Thank you!
New menu for WM5 - Freeware
WM5NewMenu is the small app for Windows Mobile 5, originally created to substitute "New menu" that was presented on the previous versions of Windows Mobile (PocketPC 2002, 2003). It consists of two parts: the menu launcher and the settings applet.
Basically, it is configurable app launcher, with several preconfigured actions to create new items, such as SMS, MMS, Word document, Note, etc. These preconfigured actions were chosen to do same things as did the actions from original "New menu".
As app is fully configurable, new items/actions can be added via simple, intuitive, GUI (see screenshots). The items can be disabled or removed, their order can be changed.
Additionally, WM5NewMenu supports original "New menu" items. Some are by default in system, as they were before, but in Windows Mobile 5 they are not used. Default actions which come with WM5NewMenu do the same thing. But 3rd party application can add own "New menu" extension and therefore can be useful to have possibility to use such extension.
Basic features:
- Lauching by selectable today key
- Simple configuration
- Support for original "New" items
- Landscape support

I've downloaded the application and I was excited to see the "New" task back on my screen. It's like good all days again!
I've had my topic posted for quite a long time and nobody bothered to answer probably because nobody knew. You must have looked really into it to come across it. Surely, it wasn't by chance.
I don't know how to thank you enough!!! What you've done, spurs only one question in mind: who are you, and why are you doing this?
I would really like to know more about you if I may!

I'm sorry if I sounded indiscreet in my last post. It was merely out of admiration!
Since you seem to know a lot about utility softwares, I'm taking the liberty to write again and ask you if you know of any other utility applications which may come handy in running the XDA more efficiently or making the use of it more practical.
Thank you once again!
Bump as I discovered WM5NewMenu the other day and it is indeed a quality app.
Run this app in the background to use the G-Sensor as a DPad. Seems to work with cursor (in word etc) and, start menu, list boxes etc.

Have a play and let me know your thoughts.
I'll give her a look see --- not happy with the virtual SIP solution I've been trying to code. I was wondering if I could detect a hardware key (like the back arrow) and then use the g_sensor for scrolling if and only if that button was being held. That way apps aready using the g-sensor could continue to use it and users could have greater control over what was scrolled and when. Since you already have taken this this far I throw the idea your way to run with it if you want to... if not that is fine too.
Blessings my friend in the new year!
PS-If you want to collaborate in coding send me a PM
Seems to work as intended... The single-hardware button "hold to enable - release to disable" would make this a real solution... Are use using Dutta's Unified Sensor API "My Brain Hurts website"?
Good work so far
how do you install this??
Excellent !!
exactly what I was looking for, great job!
I'll test it in some games unusable without d-pad and report.
thanks !

I copied the files to my SD card and ran the exe... switching to another application then uses g-sensor as directional arrows... stopping EXE kills behavior... at least that's what worked for me
I tried it out and this seems promising. Below are some things I would like to see added to make this truly useful.
1. You do not want to have it active all the time so you need an easy ability to activate/deactivate it as already stated above. Either by pressing and holding a hardware button or by pressing and holding a certain area/corner of the screen.
2. When I hold the phone in my hand the neutral position is almost never the completely flat position. I think the position of the phone when you activate it according to 1. above should be taken as the neutral position. Any relative movements from that position should then be interpreted as left,right,up and down.
3. Make the speed of the scrolling configarable.
4. Make the speed of the scrolling proportional to the movement from the neutral position. If I move only slightly from the neutral position it should scroll slowly and if I move it a lot it should scroll faster.
5. A per application filter would also be really useful. For each application you should be able to specify ig G-Pad is active always, never or when activated according to 1. above. The default for unlisted applications should be to activate it according to 1. above.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions regarding my suggestions. I don't think any of them should be really hard to implement.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to the next version of this.
Wow, so many responses! Like I said initially, its a work in progress. On the "ToDo" list is :-
1. Config File!
* Threshold setting (how much to tilt before registering
* Center (i.e. what angle is neutral instead of flat)
* Application list
2. Proportional control
I'll add the other suggestions to my list.
Cheers
Great work! The most wanted for me is the possibility to map it to a button, so by pressing the button your program is enabled, by pressing it once again, it is disabled again.
Another idea would be that it is just enabled while you are pressing the button, whereas it is disabled when you are not pressing the specified button.
But its up to you .

1.)How is this virtual d-pad different of GController ?
2.) Can you move the map in Age of Empires 1,25 with this ?
excellent idea and a very promising start. thank you and Happy New Year!
this thread belongs to the "themes, applications and software". i'll try to persuade one of the mods.

No idea! I dont have AoE so once its up and running properly (its still in very early alpha!) I'll ask people to post compatible & incompatible apps.
Looks really promising! Seems to work pretty nicely. I think the two main things I would like would be similiar to what people already asked:
- An easy way to toggle it on\off rather than running the application and killing it.
- A way to calibrate the sensitivity threshold. It reacts rather quickly now.
Good job!
Ideas
I've been thinking about this more... if you allowed a program button like the BACK ARROW to temporarily activate when pressed, read current orientation and then applied scrolled based on the orientation delta from the initial orientation and then disabled scrooling once the BACK ARROW was released. This would solve the "Gee its not flat" problem and the enable/disable issue. Other configurable options might include as noted above -- changing g-sensor sensitivity; limiting scroll direction (N-S or E-W)
Can't wait to see your next version... I've suspended work on my v-DPad because i think yours will be the better solution
Has anyone tried this on a Touch Pro, i might do it right now and get back to you guys
EDIT: Well I just tried this on my Touch Pro and it works prefect, but it would be awesome if there was a way to disable it when using TF3D because you have to have the phone perfectly flat or it will move around on the tabs, or maybe make settings for it to disable in some programs
Very nice app, I will keep my eye on this one, Thanks!
Very nice!
I think this is the perfect solution as it allows to control everything with the GSensor. Too bad GController development has beed stopped, I hope this will be the perfect successor.
Great job!
This is really great work and has a lot of potential.
Let's wait for a more "finished" version.
thanks
It's so amazing good job
Work in PocketGBA (GBA emulator)?
Does this app work in PocketGBA?
Can't play GBA games on my mobile now since i upgrade my phone to HD as PocketGBA require hardware buttons for directions control.

Hello Everyone,
I am a avid, aspiring developer, and as such I felt it would be mutually beneficial to start this thread. The Point of this this is for you [the users] to post up ideas for programs, and some sketch-ups of designs, and in return, I will try to make, and maintain, these applications.
In doing this, I will get the experience I need, and you [the users] will get the results that you [hopefully] want.
Below is [or will be soon enough] a list of programs that are developed or in the process of consideration.
Please refer to HERE for a updated list of projects...that will be my new place for updates!
Project List:
AutoSend - Scheduled SMS Sender [V3.0]
CMail - A Replacement tmail for Devs and Advanced Users[V1.0]
CSlide - A "Slide-To" like application that utilizes the JOGGR Bar for a Finger-Friendly Action Slider! [Concept]
Export-Studio - A FREE alternative app to export Contacts and SMS[V4.0 + Command Line Version]
Appointmentor - A command-line based app for creating appointments quickly and easily [V1.0]
ContactRetriever - A command-line based app for getting info on a specific contact! [V3.0]
CSort - A Command-Line based List Sorter (designed with MortScripters in mind) [V1.0]
*As you can see, the list is sort of pathetic now, but with your help, I can bulk it up*
SMS messenger
I would like an SMS type of instant messenger. The kind my Tmobile WM 6.0 came with. Like "Oz Instant Messaging". I have tried all the different cab files out there for OZ and can't get any of them to work with 3VO Rom. I do not have a data package with my phone and want to use an SMS type of messenger. Thanks for any help.

I will do what I can after I release the current SMS project I am working on.
I am aware that different messengers (or atleast AIM) has a number that you can txt to do chatting. I suppose what you are asking for is a GUI for performing such tasks? If so, once I fully comprehend the entire aspect of sending a SMS, i can probably make this GUI. Otherwise, please explain.
CycloneSender - AutoSend
Here is my FIRST RELEASE of an exe application for the Excalibur (EVER!).
NOTE: DUE TO THE RELEASE OF CMessageSuite, UPDATES WILL NOT BE PROVIDED FOR THIS PROGRAM ANY LONGER
CycloneSender - AutoSend[V3.5]
Basically, what this program does is allow you to program in set Dates and Times for SMS/TXT Messages to be sent. You can program events (with the application) up to 4 years in the future, down to the minute!
This program includes:
A Simple, Easy to Use GUI
Decent RAM/CPU Usage (there is always room for improvement)
An effective automating system (no need to monitor)
IT IS TOTALLY FREE (well, Donations are accepted )
To Install:
Simply download the attached .cab file and place it on your phone.
Run the .cab file and that is it.
To Use:
In the Start Menu, there is a new folder for my applications, navigate to that and there are two links
"CycloneSender" will run the actual application.
"Check for New" will run the automated portion of this app and check to see if there are pending events for the day, and if so, it will take the necessary actions.
Tips:
When you EXIT the main application, the automated portion of the app is run (so that newly programmed events can be parsed)
This program is accurate to the MINUTE, therefore if you set a message for 17:00 (Yes, it is in 24-hour mode), and the automated portion runs at 16:55:33, then the text message will be sent at 17:00:33 (Implementation for accuracy to the second may be included in newer released)
Known Bugs/Issues:
Unknown Results occur when two messages are scheduled for the EXACT SAME TIME [I will test this out]
When you add a recipient, you cannot delete it (will be fixed soon)
V3.0 UPDATE
This update owes big thanks to XDA user Mohitsapru. Thanks to his help, the efficiency of this application has well more than doubled! In this new version, there is no constantly running application and uses LESS ram! Same GUI, etc. ENJOY
(NEW CAB IS POSTED BELOW)
V3.5 UPDATE
This update allows you to program in MULTIPLE recipients. All recipients will receive the message at the same time. Also, some code optimization.
While I did the coding (for 99% of the part) myself, credit has to go to HowdyKeith who made the restart script for me (which plays a decently big part in making the program run smoothly) and to many other users on this forum that have helped me learn what I have.
With all that said, Enjoy the Application (and remember, donations appreciated )
Could i suggest you provide the proper info about the what it does in your first post next time thanks sounds kinda cool might try it one day.
screenshots???

roloracer said:

Yes, and probably a little bit more, but Power SMS costs $$, while the one I am actively developing (as per request, bug report, etc.) comes at no charge to users (unless they so choose to donate, but that is not mandatory).
The point of doing this is mutually beneficial:
1- I get some more coding 'experience'/'knowledge'
2- Users get products that are free of charge!
All i need are ideas!
Speaking of which:
UPDATE
-I should have a basic release of CMail.exe tomorrow, allowing users to send SMS and E-Mail through command line interfaces (MortScript especially).
-While it doesn't seem like a gigantic improvement over tmail now, it can be once I add more features onto it (need Ideas!!!)...
All looking good and know what you mean using as a learnin block too
Will give a shot tom when got some free time... Keep up the good work
UPDATE
As per request, ScreenShots are posted in the AutoSend Post!
Also, New CONCEPTUAL project posted in First Post (CSlide) ... Will start on that once bugs in AutoSend are cleared and CMail is released...
EDIT:: New Update: Thanks to loads of help from mohitsapru , I will be releasing a much more energy efficient version of AutoSend in the next day or so. CMail may be delayed a little bit...

I am not sure what type of program it was. It was OZ messenger as far as the research I have done. It was an IM application that came with my T-mobile DASH. It did not require any type of data plan to run the application. It was a simple text messenger. I was told by others in these forums that it was OZ messenger, but the ones I find here will not seem to work with my 3VO Rom. I hope that clears things up....it's only confused me more.
Well, I am not going to reinvent the wheel since that will only produce a square wheel and a waste of some time. Haha Basically, I don't want to attempt to recreate a working app because I will end up making a pretty buggy, CPU intensive one . I believe that with OZ Messenger you may have to search for a CONFIGURATION of your connection settings (if using T-Mobile, atleast for me, I had to do some tinkering once). It plagued me for a while to get it working, but now it works on my phone!
Good Luck
CMAIL V1.0
This program is an alternative to tmail.exe that was created so that people can either use it on their own, or use it WITH an application of their own. It is similar to the sender executable which is supplied with CycloneSender V1.0, however works differently.
This program includes:
A constantly maintained Documentation of ALL its functions.
The ability to Send SMS messages
A light-weight, command-line based program
To Install:
No real install...Just take the file and unzip it and put the CMail.exe where-ever you want.
To Use:
As I mentioned, the Documentation is supplied (in the compressed file) and it contains all the methods you can call on in.
In order to execute, you have to use MortScript to run it, an application of your own, or CeleCMD ... or even a Shortcut if you can figure that out.
*DISCLAIMER* THIS IS 100% COMMAND-LINE BASED, AND AS SUCH IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR GENERAL END-USERS UNLESS THEY ARE AWARE ON HOW TO USE THE APPLICATION. (No damages can really be done to the phone using this incorrectly...)
Known Bugs/Issues
None so far (YES!)
Future Ideas:
MMS (?)
E-Mail
Please remember that I use my own time to make these free, useful alternatives! I couldn't do this without the help of other XDA Forum members. (Donations are appreciated!)
Please Comment and give me ideas for more functions
Export-Studio[V4.0]
This application is a very useful free alternative to those expensive Contact backup applications. It will backup/export your Contacts and SMS[V2].
UPDATE: V2.5 Released. Command-Line and GUI versions bundled into ONE EXE.
UPDATE: V3.0 Released. Now you can export Contacts in VCF format!
UPDATE: V3.1 Released. Fixes error with missing DLL.
UPDATE: V4.0 Released. Expands the export capabilities of Contacts!
This program includes:
A super-simple, lightweight GUI
The Ability to backup Contacts and SMS
Three modes of exporting: TXT and CSV and VCF
A comand-line based version of the GUI program
To Install:
Simply download the CAB file, and install it
Then navigate to Start Menu > CycloneApps > ExportStudio
and voila!
To use:
First, run the app and you will see 3 areas : What you want to output, the output format, and the folder to write to.
Select what you want to ouput
Make sure to ONLY PUT THE FOLDER in the folder text box, or you will get errors or weird results...
Once set up, click export, and the application will do its thing!
If you want to use the command-line feature, then just run the same EXE as for the GUI with parameters afterwards (see documentation)
Tips:
While the CSV format can be opened in Excel or the likes, I find that the TXT format is more organized.
Known Bugs/Issues:
There may be some slight errors in the CSV file (this is tested with OpenOffice on Windows Vista).
None others... YAY
Remember please, that I did this coding on my own and with the motivation and help of other users on the XDA Forums. I do this to practice coding for myself and to provide free alternatives of apps for the users of our beloved Excalibur. While the programs are 100% free, donations are appreciated .
UPDATE:
CycloneSender AutoSend V3.0 Just released! Enjoy the improvements (no noticable changes in GUI).
Progress is being made on Export Studio
Requests for new applications are MORE THAN WELCOME
UPDATE
ExportStudio V2.0 IS NOW OUT WITH SMS BACKUP CAPABILITIES!
More Ideas are welcome!

You should rewrite that SMS Bubbles app in my ROM and make it more "usable".

I'm in the process of learning C++, so until then I wouldn't really be able to make a worth-while SMSBubbles since C# isn't the fastest or most versatile language (in terms of gfx).
A Small Story to serve as an introductory:
So a while back, when I got my brilliant Excalibur, I started developing small applications. Some of you may recall the, now long dead , thread I had called CycloneApps [By Request]. I started with C#, and did some ok things [in my opinion] and they helped serve as a learning block for bigger and better developments. I have gone from CMail.exe, the command-line replacement to tmail.exe, all the way to FFP_LockScreen [Fake FingerPrint LockScreen], which unfortunately was aimed at Touch-Screen phone users as a project I undertook as I showed interest on a thread in the Software Development sub-forum. I got my original inspirations and 'drive' to develop from this here community, the Excalibur owners or supporters, and I thought it be best that I now fulfill a request made by Ookba, the great Chef who has brought our phones new life.
See, shortly after I started taking requests, Ookba suggested I re-make SMSBubbles to be more functional with the ROM. At the time, with the speeds of the .NET CF, it seemed impossible to really do. But I come back to you all now with the knowledge of C++ So as a token of my appreciation to all Excalibur owners, I want to develop CycBubbles, an SMSBubbles remake with features YOU want!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having said all of that, I ask now that if anyone has any interest in such a program becoming available to the Excalibur, they reply to this thread with Ideas concerning one of the following:
Soft-Keys: What should the LEFT soft-key and RIGHT soft-key do [ and under what circumstances] ?
Look and Feel: Do you like the SMSBubbles 'bubble', or do you want something different? [Realize that more complex designs = slower speed]
Rules: How about some filter-rules about when the bubble should or should NOT appear.
Positioning: Do we all like the bubble at the bottom of the screen? Maybe we can make it more PPC-Like if it were in the Center, or from the TOP.
Extra Functions: What kind of extras would you like? (i.e. Should I utilize the 0 - 9 keys on the keyboard to do something?)
Once I get the ideas from YOU guys/girls, on what YOU want this program to do, I can start developing
Please consider
if you want to see this program really flourish
Reserved for later use
Rules would be awesome. How about setting bubbles only for certain contacts? Would the .cab install work for other ROM's besides ookba's?
I would most definitely aim to make the program ROM INdependent.
Thank You for the feedback
it would be interesting to make the left and right soft keys customizable...
and as for the location/look of the bubbles, that to would be nice to customize and to relocate wherever the user feels. top, bottom, left, right, center...
the rules sounds good, and maybe apply an ignore feature to certain annoying contacts lol. like a black list on contacts that the bubbles won't show up for.<-- pretty much what Frostmoon said. lol
pretty much make it user customizable friendly.
nice to see you around these parts again.
Due to the rather disheartening amount of feedback on this thread, I will most likely not develop this in the near future .
I am currently consumed with finishing up my next version of Fake FingerPrint LockScreen for Touch-Screen phones, but that should be over in about a week.
I have been pondering re-starting development on my Horizon Home-Screen, if any of you remember that (if not, you can search it). My further knowledge of C++ will most definitely assist me in making this HomeScreen I had dreamed of making a while back when I only knew C#.
So I suppose be on the lookout for any news on that, and check here occassionally to see if I post back. For now, I am going to leave this on Stage 1 (Gathering Ideas), NOT DISCONTINUED, because I do hope to have the time to come back to this soon and give back to the community that started me off

Yeah it's a real shame as the idea was requested by users yet response so small, no longer have an Excalibur but think that the development of a SMS bubble app with more configurable options would be welcomed by many smartphone users and not just Excalibur, maybe worth thinking as a project for D&H rather than just Excalibur users.

As stated above, good ideas!
@Cyclonezephyrxz7 - This can be a good start don't you think?. Thanks for your work dude, I hope to see this project rolling out
@Mr.Clown (and all others too)
Yes, it did serve as a sort of inspiration to start up. Thank You to those who did contribute ideas thus-far. I have not started up a thread yet, but http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7166724&postcount=39
Expect something soon (Within a month maybe?)
Also, I am now officially a co-founder, and primary developer for Chicken-Egg Solutions. This will become my main venue for application development and requests, as well as web-design, computer repair, and problem solutions (Most of these will be taken care of by my friend, the other Co-Founder). The website will be up soon (www.chicken-eggsolutions.com), check back every so often
Hi Cyclone,
We met in another thread. But I would like to raise my function request here for your consideration.
I am looking for a delivery note management function that allows my to keep track of my sms receiver. I would like to know who, by name, have received my sms and at what time. I don't know if such function is appropriate for the software you are developing. If so, please consider to add this function into it. If not, appreciate if you can point me to the right direction.
So are you requesting, as opposed to the normal Delivery Requests that Windows Offers, to make a type of 'Delivery Notification' that gets stored in some XML-like file for future reference?
It will be great if the software can list out the receiver name and date/time of the delivery notification. It will ever greater if it can match the sms/delivery notification with the acknowledgement send out by the receiver after receiving my sms.
If it only output an XML, user will have to figure out how to display it on a mobile phone.
how about an option of reading the incoming sms....like in nokia mobiles
Like Text-To-Speech?

ya... how about that.. i think it shuld be customizable soft button or a different button..
I will see. I feel that that may increase the size of the app distinctly, and also distinctly reduce the speed. Although I could probably figure a way to not let it be affected.
Anywho, Thank you, ALL, so much for these ideas. I suppose that I will start attempting to make this once I am fully done with my FFP_LS pro (Which, by the way, works on Excaliburs! and other non-touch-screen phones ) and when I get my internet back fully.

Thanks for your work and for sharing it, we will wait then
Revised Idea, and then some
Okay, so this post contains a little meat to it
1) I want to let people know about FFP_LockScreen Pro 2.0, now available on my website( www.chicken-eggsolutions.com ). My partner and I do app development as well as web design/development. FFP_LS Pro 2.0 is fully based on C++, has many customizable components, and best of all it is (what I consider to be) a pretty legitimate replacement lock for our phones. I have made this version (and all future versions) compliant with our lovely Excaliburs. Instead of having to press the screen, trick people with a "slight of hand" by putting your finger on-screen while pressing the space-bar with your knuckle (thats how it works for me) and it will start scanning. Trust me, it mystified half my family already haha. Anywho, it is shareware, so there is a free NON-EXPIRING trial. THe trial has its limiatations however. Also, another feature that is in this for our lovely Exca's that is currently NOT available to TOuch-Screen phones is true replacement (sorta) of the default lock. By using specific API commands, I was able to get it to run when we initiate the default lock! Cocky as it may sound, I feel this lockscreen beats S2U2 in 3 ways: (1) Tests have shown it to boot faster, (2) it actually replaces the default lock, and doesn't use some timeout trick, and (3) is actually blocks other windows [unlike S2U2 which can be overridden by pressing the TaskManager key or Messaging Key (on my phone at least)]. So yeah, personally I recommend it, but I made it. I will extend the same challenge here as I did on the Development forums: If you can make an interesting skin for the program, you can win a free license (3$ value)
2) So recently I have become extremely pissed off with tmail.exe. When I have actual 'conversation - length' messages, it is slow and just overall frustrating! So I thought, "Hey, I am already starting CycBubbles...why not make it a whole 'suite' type thing". So I am considering making my own Messaging Client EXE. It would be a major switch, as it would eliminate CE MAPI for the most part (it would keep messages stored there, but its main access would be via XML). Then as an extension to this I can h ave CycBubbles. Generally, I find, SMSBubbles works...and it is reliant on CE Mapi, so I can make one reliant on XML, not CE MAPI, that works comfortably with my own client. What do you think of that idea? This would obviously require a lot more time. But if it is what I imagine I can do, it will be faster and better
So I guess that is it really... If i remember anything else I wanted to say, I will post back again!
Hi, there!
App allows to log in with discrete gesture to apps and web-sites that accept traditional text passwords.
I need volunteers to try it out, so that I could get data (gestures that people choose) for research - to anayse method potential problems and conceptual soundness.
If you would like to try this app and same time ok to install study version that requires Internet access permission (to send to me data about app usage) - please check it out.
Traffic used is minimal (app sends 1-2 Kb of data for every gesture, depending on its complexity, but guess you will know better from your traffic monitoring apps).
Instructions / how-to are here:
jo.jaborandi.org.ru
(sorry for not-active links, forum forbids posting links for new members)
apk is on Downlod page
Couple of known problems described on Known Problems page. However, app was tried on only few devices yet, so it's not impossible you'll encounter new problem - would be great if you report it.
There's Contcat form on site.
Just play with method in "Practice", or try it with accounts (not your mobile baking of course , or create test account on my site, if you don't want to use it with your personal ones.
When you fed up with the app, please visit Post-participation form page on site and fill form (12 questions + optional your own feedback). To access this form you will need to enter "Feedback code" (it is displayed in app's main menu).
App itself has help page, but it is not up to date. Site is - please read help there.
Please check at least beginning of text on homepage to figure out what is difference from any arbitrary gesture you like (to avoid confusion when starting to use it)
!!!Please don't use this app for tasks of critical security!!!
If you have any questions - let me know - I'll be checking this thread too of course
p.s. Of course app sends only data about use of itself, nothing else, sends it encrypted with my public key, I'm not a hacker etc. But I'm sure if you volunturely test android apps you know better than me that regardless of trustworthiness of app, you should have no sensitive data on your sdcard when you install app with Internet access.
p.p.s. I tried to optimize info-site for mobile, it should look ok in stock browser and in Dolphin, but I couldn't make it look good in Opera Mobile yet. Sorry for inconvenience.
Thanks and have a good evening everyone!
