hey guys... me and I3v5y
have been working on a ui for gaming on the HD... here is our template.... but as i do not have my HD with me nor does he... we need to find out how it works....
please post a screen shot and report problems.... the faster you do so the quicker we can get this project done....
Where are we in Development?
We have finished Ui development and are starting the game development...
*UPDATE*
New TEST VERSION
Download here: http://cid-cddbf77985693632.skydriv...A files/Programs/ManilaGames/base.Demo.02.exe
guys we need to know!!!!
does it work smooth....
almost no description
no screenshots (you're asking us to post some, yet you're the developer)
a .exe (which to my knowledge wont work on mobile phones, i dont have a WM-powered mobile phone but i've read that install files are in .cab)
6 posts makes you think you're new and therefore many ppl won't download it and trust you.
so either its a virus and the-like or its real but you provided almost nothing that makes us think its 'real'.
topic reported so mods can take a view
Edit: took a look at your other posts and it looks like you're being serious. So sorry if i interrupted your topic with my (probably) false-indication
Edit2: nvm, its real. a mod made this exe. so again im sorry for the false statement and the report
for people reporting this thread
all is good....just checked posts look here if still unsure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3114391#post3114391
there is nothing wrong or "fishy" with this thread.
thank you
thank you.... i think????
lol
so can someone give me a report on how it runs on the device???? and a screenshot?
The app runs smoothly on my HD (IT ram 1.14): see screenshot attached.
hey, apart the game: what about making it as a launcher too (as touchlaunch or M2DAppLauncher? it seems perfect! and those apps seems to be dead...
I tried your game and till now it works very well. The touchscreen reaction is very good. But on the top in the left corner of the slider is one litle blue line. I marked this with a red square on the second sreenshot.
thanks for that blackmonkey we will try to fix it but for now we need to get the actual game running
No problem...I´m waiting for more..good luck
New Demo Version check it out at the first post...
please post screenshots and tell about your experience....
ok i got demo 2 up and running,
let's say im at the home icon and want to go to stock. when i click on stock it shows the home icon. the sliding bar at the bottom wont go where my thumb is. it does follow the movement if i slide it over the screen (i hope you get what i mean)
also ermm the first time when im on a new screen it shows the icon for a very short time when i press the screen.
please post a screenshot i don't understand....
I pressed the stock button with my thumb on that pic.
oh i see...
yes at the moment it is made for sliding use only.... so you willl have to drag the slider from tab to tab.....
Maybe you will see an actual game release tommarow... nothing advanced... maybe a tick tac toe game....
but I will get the helicopter game finished
ahh cool, when i release my finger it does go to that spot so it does work like that the slider is just not sticking to my finger on the spot i press the screen. can't wait to see a game on this it runs smootly
Get read for the first actual game release tommarow!!!!!!!!
Can someone explain exactly what this is?
OK well the idea is to create games and applications that keep the manila style look....
so if you want to get to the settings portion of a game... you have the tf3d thing at the bottom of every app and game....
understand?
Ok. It wont intergrate into TF3D, it will just look like it?
first of all, fantastic work. i have a couple questions.
1, is it possible to get this to use the manila resources so whatever theme we're using is also used by the game?
2, how hard would it be to port across a few emulators into this? while things like morphgear work fine, the are hardly finger friendly. i'm thinking running game on the first tab, list of roms on the second, maybe in the style of contacts or music player so case pictures can be added. and then settings on the third tabs. that sort of thing anyway. how feasable is that?
i'm personally of the opinion that the more things that have a unified look the better so i think what you're doing is great.
many thanks

I Dont know about you guys but I really hate the built in zoom feature on all of the new htc phones. To me it is a waste of space that could have better implemented with a Dpad. I hardly ever use it and it doesnt even work for very many things except the web browser. I see htc messing up all of their new good phones with it.
I see it as a waste of space. I see myself missing a dpad or scroll ball a lot more than I even think about the zoom option.
How do you feel?
I have two gripes about the TP2 hardware:
No scroll wheel or D-pad for ease of navigation
Seidio doesn't have a spring-clip holster yet
Does it work on word or excel?
Yep it does work with excel, word, pictures, internet....
I use the bar all the time, just love it.
So HTC: Please keep the zoom-bar!!
Don't use the zoom a lot, but it does work great when I do...
Would like to change it into dpad though! (Zooming can be achieved by other means)
Well I can think off cool games with throttle.
But other then that, the zoombar just doesn't work to well for me. If it did work well, more fluent I would like to keep it. It's nice to zoom in a little bit on webpages, and not to far like what happens when you double tab in opera.
Well, I'd like to have a D-pad (because it's handy in games) but I don't have a problem with the zoom bar on my TP2. I'd like both, really. My only gripe is that too few applications support the zoombar. If Opera 9.7 beta supported it I'd stop using 9.5 altogether, but because it doesn't I still use both.
That said, iPhone-style multi-touch pinch-zooming is a MUCH better solution, and I'm looking forward to trying out the Leo.

I checked this out. I've already got the registry setting in question, but the zoom bar doesn't do anything in Opera 9.7. So.... (shrug)

3. Location of the power button gets in the way of typing at times. I have the powerkey fix by one of the xda members but its still a pita at times.
I havent really used the zoom bar but its koo. Im with shasarak far as the dpads & games.
Hi All
I have made this mention in another post, but to me at least, what we need is a reg hack that will allow the Zoom Bar to work with more apps, not just Album, Etc.
Now THAT would be worth having.......
Imagine being able to add whatever App you like to the Zoom Bar Active list,
even just to zoom the screen of any app or function would be a bonus too!
Sort of like with the G-Sensor hacks.
Maybe someone will find a way...??
Cheers

I agree. The zoom bar is retarded and serve 0 purpose at all.
I love the zoom bar. Use it all the time. Especially useful for navigating forums like XDA! Maybe my fingers too fat always cannot hit the number to navigate to the next page, even after double-tap. So always use zoom bar to zoom big big so that I can tap on the link.
Can the Opera be updated in the VZW TP2? I thought it was hardcoded into the ROM.

yeah that is true but a dpad would make it even easier to select small text w/ out having to zoom in and out all of the time.
I LOVE the zoom bar, but miss the scroll wheel of my Titan and my Clie's. So I'd like both please. the d-pad... eh? Don't really see a need. There is a keyboard with arrow keys if need be.
The d-pad is important for one handed use. Besides, if you want the 'already there' argument, opera already has a built in software zoom bar. and it work just the same.
Coming from the g-1, I really miss the little trackball. It was such an excellent feature to have. It was small precise, and it didn't take up too much room on the device either. I think that would have fit nicely on the tp2.
Hey guys,
I got Swype working on my Archos 70.. Works great, no problems. I installed the one which is 480X800 (made for the EVO, Desire and Epic)
In Landscape mode some of the last buttons are shaved off due to Archos' soft buttons but still works fine.
This is is the link for the apk: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=O7XRKWBR
Note to Mods: I'm not sure if I'm breaking any rules by posting this Swype APK, if I am please feel free to delete this post.

Confirmed! My wife thanks you also.
Did you gents have to turn anything off or just select it and it worked. As I have tried that one and another and I can't get either two work on my 70? Thanks
First select it under settings.
Then open up any text box (E-mail, chat, browser address bar, etc) press and hold on the text bar and when the menu comes up, select 'input method' , then select Swype.
You do it once and it will stay with all apps, unless you turn it off in the task manager.
Hope this helps
Thank you for the APK!
yeah sorry I would've posted mine awhile ago but I thought it was against forum rules but I guess not but flipping the bar fixes the clipping and the thumbs keybord is more functional for daily use btw

Hey, what do you mean flipping the bar?
I used thumb keyboard, still prefer swype to be honest. Its faster.
SlideIt seems faster than swype actually, but I hate the UI and I dunno why its sooo huge, as one other xda member put it, slideIt is the clown shoes of keyboards lol
When I get to my daily visit to the XDA forum, to leech and see what the latest developments are, I always click the "FORUMS" menu item. This gives me a list with all the available forums, complete with an image of the phones associated with them. Or it gives me a list with phone images and the forums associated with them.. who cares
What I do is, scroll down as fast as I can and try to spot the phone that I'm really interested in, the Desire Z. The only problem is, what my eyes are looking (scanning) for is a phone with a keyboard. And here's the thing, the image used for the Desire Z forum... doesn't show the keyboard!!! Which to me is kinda silly, since the main thing for the phone is the keyboard. And I believe most other phones that have a keyboard, show the keyboard in the image. So I feel left out.
So my kind request to you moderator types is: "Could we, Desire Z users (or maybe it's just me), get an image that shows the keyboard for the forum?"
I mean, the fact that most of us find out that we don't use the keyboard as much as we had expected, doesn't mean it's not there! Keyboards have rights too you know!
Anyway, thanks.
Hi i am keen on desire z. How is the hw keyboard? My fingers tend to be too thick for small km.

I'm really happy with it actually. The keyboard is nice, they left enough room between the keys even for larger fingers. But if you have thumbs the size of sausages it's going to be tough on any hw keyboard I guess. My thumbs aren't that big and I was used to using the Xperia X1 keyboard, so this is a great improvement
The only problem I have is the fact that I don't use it as often as I thought I would. The onscreen keyboard is great, so I find myself using that a lot more for quick messages than the hw keyboard.
I guess for smartphones the hw keyboard really is dying.... It's sad... Even Blackberry has a touch-screen/keyboard combo device nowadays
Or... at the top right, just type "Z" in "find your device", and pick it there?
If thats the particular forum you jump to first of all then why not set some kind of bookmark/quicklink in your browser......
And as Pulser said, top right corner.... find any device in seconds.
I cant remember the last time I had to scroll through that list.

THis is exactly what I do, I have three links on my book marks bar on Chrome, one to take me straight to desire z forum, one to the general android section and another to the front page.

I know, you are all right. And I do have a bookmark and I do know how to use the search or the CTRL+F keys. Still, isn't it a little strange that every picture in the list has the keyboard out when it has one, except for the Desire Z.
You do know I'm being a little sarcastic in my first post right?
Ok so it appears that ALOT of people came from the OG Droid to the GNex.
Just wanted to see if there was any more interest out there for the softkeys to be the same as first used on the OG Droid.
I know there are other Devs working on this, PaulB....etc..
I rarely used the Search on my Droid (actually cant remember ever using it, but anyway.) But I used Back Arrow all the time. Like it on the far LEFT. Then Menu, and then Home. Multi Task can be removed as well.
If anyone else feels this way, feel free to reply.
Oh and if Im posting in the wrong , place, please move. Thanks.
dude.. we just get this development forum opened and THIS is the first thread created? c'mon this has nothing to do with development. If you're looking to judge people's interest in something consider starting in the general or q and a section if you're going to start a thread or better yet, posting in the relevant thread, which you referenced would be a good idea.
Nice request but you willget much better results posting in the right sectiom
My bad for posting in the wrong place. CDMA Development specific forum looked like the right place. Besides like you said, nothing else was posted. I now know that you were just starting up the new area.
Thanks for moving to the right place.
Now with that out of the way,
What is everyones thoughts?
This would be AMAZING!
So hang on a second, you want to remove a major feature of Android 4.0, the multi-tasking menu and replace it with a search button that can also be accessed from the top of the screen AND that you said your self you have NEVER used.... excuse me but your logic does not seem sane... Why would you not just leave the multi-tasking button and just put it in the place of the search button...
No. I think you misread my post.
I like the button arrangement on the Droid. I don't like how the menu/settings button or dots now are never in the same place on 4.0. It depends on the app as to its placement . Pretty silly in my opinion. I like the soft key idea ALOT, just not the new arrangement.
And I said you could take the SEARCH key off as I never use it. Menu/settings key is the one I would like to see on the bottom always. Heck exchanging the multi task key for menu/settings would be cool as well.
I could probably get used to the multi task once I use it some. Still trying to break old habits of pushing home or back.

I hink its a great idea. Id suggest that you allow the search button to still be available with side dots but the back, menu, home and recents apps with OGD buttons icons would be awaeome. I hope i get to flash this in the very near future
I like the idea. What would be even better is if we were able to just change the icons and what they do. A lot like you would do with a app launcher.
