Develop Bugs

Probably one of the BEST contact programs and keyboard you will ever use

I found this Contact Manager just today while I was browsing online.
http://pocketcm.com/index.php
It works great on my 8525 and is all touch activated, kind of resembles the iphone. Works nicely. There is also a keyboard program that copies the iphone as well.
Just thought I would share with the community.

I like it also, but I find it difficult to scroll precisely. Sometimes it goes 10 contacts ahead, sometimes 100!
And it is a litte difficult to really close it.
The keyboard I really like.
There are big threads running in the General section.

Sorry I didn't really know where to post it. I guess I should have put it there.
What I figured out is that if you want to close it, you just hit the hang up button and then it closes like with any other program really. And if you want it to scroll slower you just move your finger slower. I've been playing around with it all night and seems to be working out. Remember this is just a BETA version of it. So it has a lot of potential and it moves pretty fast.

There are threads already for it. Please research a bit before posting, Please read rules before posting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=221545

Im sorry...as noted in the above post I already appologized for posting this....thank you for being redundant.

Yep pocketcm is great (checkout the photo viewer) the developer tene is a regular on these forums (check the hacking/general section for the latest updates) also if you check the general/hacking forum you can find a bunch of alternate themes for pocketcm

Easy way to close it is to take it out of fullscreen mode. Then you can hit the x-button to close it like any other program.

thanks!
I just want to say big ups to all of you guys. I just recently completed some customizations on my (once boring) 8525. The pocket cm is wonderful and the pocketcm keyboard is a nice touch. I do have one question.
It seems that i cannot send sms' directly from pocket cm. Is there a way that you can sms your contacts directly from the pocket cm?
Thanks

just have to press and hold the send button in pocket cm for like a 2 second count and it sends.

PocketCM it's great, but about keyboard I think that "touchpal" it's better.

[DEV] [12-3-08 ] Manila Style Gaming Preview [NEW DEMO]

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

Multitouch?

*puts on flame suit*
Can someone elaborate on this? Do we already have this feature? I noticed the droid multitouch keyboard ported and when I installed it, didn't notice much of a difference
-mobile superinformation highway surfing 8)

Yeah its on the evo.. go to a webpage.. put two fingers together and touch screen.. open your fingers. Zooms in on web page..
sent from my Evo

Are you talking about the keyboard? If so, then yes the stock keyboard is multitouch on 2.2 and so is the Droid X. How you can test it is press one letter then press another while holding the first an it will still register which allows you to type faster.

welll... what had caught my attention was when this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753156 popped up in my news feeder
and i saw some folks saying they used it on the evo.... so i thought it was something new
then i used it and was like whas so special? i thought we been could do this pinch and zoom and multitouch...lol
i guess its just the sounds and the color huh?
thanks for all the replies all

Swype: Can't highlight words with double tap?

You guys notice that you can't double tap the word to highlight with the stock version of Swype included with the SGSII? Not sure why this is no longer available, really helped speed things up with editing on the SGS versions of Swype.

Yes I noticed that, makes it annoying to fix typos...

it's to do with the samsung "correction" system.
It is possible to edit words via swype, but its a bit clunky, you long press the word, click select word, and then wait 2 seconds for the samsung crap to get out of the way.
I'm sure that the correction thing can be disabled letting us use swype more intuitively.

Apparently you can just uninstall the swype that comes on the phone and install the latest beta from the swype website and get that feature back.

I think I might just do that, definitely makes it a lot more difficult to go back and edit!
EDIT: NOPE, that didn't work. Don't bother, it's something with the OS.

I think this is actually a gingerbread thing.
Froyo used to do it fine but when I upgraded my
Old phone to gingerbread I could no longer do it.
The text selection is different.
You can click on the word you want to change then
Press the swype button once to get up the word list.
Hope this helps.

Also, once you have the word list up, you can press the 'Shift' key to get a list of capitalisation options for the word, e.g. word, Word, WORD.
Swype is the main reason I'm on an Android phone. I like the SGS2, of course, but having played with dual boot WP7 and Android on an HD2, Swype was the main reason for going Android. No regrets, mind you

I would LOVEEEE to fix this.., someone freaking sticky this.. I tried installing my swype from sgs1 froyo but no good.. I also hate how , comma is where space bar used to be.. always hit it instead of space

Hmm well I have apks for the beta, my own custom version,
Maybe If I can change the name,.sign then instal it along side
Our built in version. I do prefer the beta too. Too many buttons
At the bottom on this version, but as I said, it might be gingerbreads
New way of text selection causing the problem cos it happened on
My old phone. Very annoying.
Edit : I wouldn't be able to post it here tho as its against the rules.

If you want to edit the word, just single tap the word and tap the swype icon on the bottom left of the keyboard which brings up all your options.

We have a winner. Don't double tap, long press, or highlight the word. as long as the cursor is next to the word, the swype button will show the suggested words list.
Burko

Thanks for solving that for me zxz88!
Now, how do I ad words to it?

press anywhere on the word you want to correct to get the cursor there, then just press the swype key in the bottom left corner of the keyboard.....does the trick without having to select the whole word again....i had the same problem you did, then realized there must be another way....

actually.. that isn't too bad, I still don't like how much of the spacebar was cut to add 2 new keys tho.. I ALWAYS hit ,,,,,, for space

Yes, but Swype previously you could just double tap to bring up the word choice, one less step = faster.
BTW, this looks to be a Gingerbread bug, not Swype's... and is documented on Swype's forum: http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?2928-Gingerbread-2.3.3-Double-Tap-opening-Edit-Menu.
On a side note... can one of you nice people post up the "libswypecore.so" file from XWKE2's /system/lib directory? It got deleted when I installed the beta version, I think the stock version runs faster.
Thanks!

Surely a double tap and 2 separate taps are the same number of steps? I find the new way more intuitive in day to day use.
In fact if you are correcting the word you have just typed, you don't have to double tap at all anymore. One less step = faster right?

No problem, to add words I believe you just type out the new word instead of swyping it gets added as a new word so the next time you can swype it!

Wrong, it's all about WHERE you're tapping. If I quickly double tap on the word, my finger doesn't move from that spot and I can immediately pick the replacement word. If I have to put the cursor on the word, then move down to the keyboard all the way to the lower left to hit the option button, and then move back up to select word, of course that's slower.
Pretty straightforward really... how could you say the two are the same? It's like saying you're both driving from points A to B, who cares about distance, lol.

Swype beta!!!

It has been brought to my attention that posting the apk itself is against site rules so I have removed the link. I have however left the official website link for anyone that wants the app just visit the site and download the apk. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Just go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register to test!

Is this for Beta 1.3?

Beta 1.3

It's abit troublesome if you need to use numbers snd decimal points, you need to switch from alphabet to numeric in order to get it. I think they should add decimal point in the numerical pads too without switching to and fro.

It is against XDA rules to post Swype as a standalone apk.

Why????

It's a free apk at the moment while it's in BETA, if it is against the rule I will remove it but I thought been as it's a FREE BETA it would be no problem??? Am I wrong???

If you hold down the button that changes to numeric it brings up a different numeric pad with decimal point, enjoy!

Been using this for a while now and works flawlessly! Really liking the keyboard themes

Switching from languages need a long press.

Which really really sucks if you use two languages.
Anyway, Swype was never very supportive for people that used more than one language. Even the version where you press a single button to switch languages, sometimes it doesn't change at all, and when it does, it's always less snapier than any other keyboard I have tried.

Using stock prediction more worse than swype.

Did you know the shortcut to change language on swype?
Swipe your finger from the swype button to the spacebar. You don't need to longpress anything.
There are several more shortcuts, it's in the settings, you can look after.

Tried this one cause the Samsungs continues input doesn't work. Afrter a quick testing, this one is worth trying if you wanna use swiping for text input.

In case anyone is having trouble with the quick language switch gesture, you just have to make sure to select a second active language before you can toggle between languages.
