(update 2009/11/14) My Todayscreendialer - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Hello all,
iam currently playing around with my own made C# picture dialer that is displayed as a today item. it enables a user to see pre defined photo contacts. I have not made this to be an improvement of any existing applications. I mainly wanted to see if i could make something that i myself found usefull.
It is not a finished product, perhaps it never will be, please use my settingseditor to configure the application. Also due to memory issues i have removed the resize option. please use images that are 48x48 for QVGA and 96x96 for VGA
features:
- QVGA & VGA usable
- Identify contact with photo or name
- 1 or 2 rows with 5 contacts each
- a long (2 second) press on the photo dials the number that belongs to the contact.
- option to assign two numbers to one photo contact, eg the first number is dialed when you press the photo for two seconds, the second number is dialed when you press the photo for four seconds.
- option to vibrate and/or play a sound to notify 2 seconds have passed to dial a number
One row :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Two rows:
To use it, do the following:
1 download and install the "ChrisTec Managed Today Screen Item Framework" on you device (install it on your device, i do not know if this will work if you install it on a storage card) at http://www.codeplex.com/ManagedTodayScreen
2 Copy the contents of the Todayscreendialer.zip file to the directory \Program Files\Managed Today Screen Framework
3 configure the settings.xml file (see below) - please use the settingseditor
4 Reset your device (or refresh your today theme) - using the settingseditor will automatically refresh the today theme once you have applied the settings

Todayscreendialer settings.xml
the settings.xml included should be used as follows:
<PictureCaller rows="1" sound="false" vibrate="true" dialNumber="false" soundLocation="your wav file location">
rows="1" -> numer of rows to display either "1" or "2" rows.
sound="false" -> specify if you want to have a sound played if you press the photo button for 2 seconds.
vibrate="true" -> specify if you want to have the device to vibrate if you press the photo button for 2 seconds.
dialNumber="false" -> in case you want to test the buttons without dialing. please set this to "true" if you want the application to dial !
soundLocation="your wav file location"> -> if sound is set to "true" you must specify a valid file (use the complete path)
For each Photo or name contact you should add a <Item id="a number from 1 - 10">
a photo contatc should be added like this:
<Item id="3">
<Name>Callers name</Name>
<Picturelocation>picture.jpg</Picturelocation>
<PhoneNumber1>12345678</PhoneNumber1>
</Item>
a name contact should be added like this:
<Item id="5">
<Name>Callers name</Name>
<PhoneNumber1>12345678</PhoneNumber1>
</Item>
please keep in mind that the maximum number of items is 10 (for 2 rows)
There are two options that can be set per <item>:
visible="false" -> set item to visiible or not, default this is true
multipleNumbers="true" -> if you would like to use two numbers with the same contact use multipleNumbers="true". It is imperative that you include <PhoneNumber2>12345678</PhoneNumber2>
or else the application will not work properly
hope all this is a bit clear !

U can use the settingseditor to configure the settings.xml.
Simply copy it to your device and start the program. It will search for the settings.xml file in \Program Files\Managed Today Screen Framework

please see first post

i am not really an expert in special effects on pictures. But perhaps i can make it work
i will look into creating a seperate settings application that edits the settings.xml.

Now this is exactly what I am looking for, sort of. I know my suggestion may spoil your thoughts of how you want the program to behave but hey it is just a suggestion Here goes, is it possible to bring upp a menu with all the numbers you have on that contact, for instance home,work and so on when you long press on the contact picture? I think this feature would be great but as I mentioned you are the author and you do as you want, its a suggestion. Weird no one else has created a similar software before.

good suggestion, however my main idea behind the long pressed button approach is that a person does not have to look on the screen to see what number is to be dialed. I use the plugin extensible in my car. I just have to look which contact i want to dial and start pressing the photo contact. The app will do the rest.
However, it is possible to do this, so if you (and other people) want this approach I can see if i can incorperate it at a later stage. It will probably will be around the time that i have figured out to directly connect the PIM contacts to the plugin.

Creutz' idea should definitely be included in the upcoming releases, but as it has been mentioned above try think about some sort of built in configuration instead of manually xml-file editing.
special effects...not seriously needed

Very nice software. Thank you. I like this wallpaper too. Would you mind sharing that or direct me as to where I may find it?

Settingseditor program
Okay, i have finished a settingseditor to edit the settings.xml. hope someone finds it usefull. please also download the new Todayscreendialer.zip.

I was wondering if anybody was using the application.and if anybody had comments or suggestions.

Ido you need to make some registry settings?
Hi, yesterday I stumbled on your application an dwant to try it. From some other internet sources I understand that also some registry settings must be made to make it work. Is that correct?
At the moment I cannot 'see' your plugin on my today screen.
Please advise, and thanks for sharing your application

(3 September 2008) S2V v0.42 - Slide2View

S2V is a stylus-free picture viewing application. It can also be used to set up the wallpapers for S2U2 (0.97 or later); assign a pic to a contact; set it as Today's wallpaper; or send it via MMS/email.
Prerequisition:
- WM5 Phone or WM6 Professional devices
- free RAM: at least 6M for QVGA
- if you cannot start S2V, delete the whole registry tree HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V, then start S2V again.
Changes of v0.42
- fixed the occasional bug that S2V quit unexpectedly when viewing a particular folder.
- added the options to change the sorting menu symbol. It's only useful for those devices that cannot display the triangles on the sorting menu. How? Create a registry value AscendingSymbol (String) at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V\, set the content to whatever you want, e.g. ^, or even a word (ascending). Create another one called DescendingSymbol for the descending order.
- fixed some minor bugs.
Changes of v0.40 (20-8-2008)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- added sort option by time or name.
- added thumbnail pic cache (the cache folder can be custom by the registry value "CacheFolder" at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V\).
- added send function to send a pic via MMS/email.
- added sliding effect when zooming a pic.
- added support to RealVGA.
- reduced the chances of blank screen when a device has enough memory.
- separate CAB files for QVGA(low-res) & VGA(high-res) devices.
- changed some menu labels; for non-English translation, pls refer to the lang.ini file.
- fixed some minor bugs.
Changes of v0.38 (23-5-2008)
- added a delete function.
- added option to open a pic through the command switch (for advanced users, you can now associate pic files to be opened by S2V).
- added some shortcuts: ANSWER key to quit; END/OK key to minimize; tap the top right corner to minimize.
- reduced the RAM usage a little.
- reduced the contact pic size so as to reduce the chance of Outlook sync error (but for VGA or above devices, there is still chances that the pic will over the size that Outlook can handle).
- all system icons are live when S2U2 (v1.00 or later) is already running in the background.
- fixed the issue that some devices cannot run in Landscape mode.
- fixed some minor bugs.
Screenshots:
Thumbnail view & folder view (press the folder name to view that folder's pic; press the ARROW to view that folder's sub-folders)
Operations:
- Slide the screen to view the previous or next picture (or press the DPAD left/right);

- Press DPAD Up to Zoom-in or Down to Zoom-out; double-tap the screen or push the DPAD-ACTION to return to the normal view.
- Slightly press the screen to call up the lower menu.
- Press the Back button at the Thumbnail screen to browse folders.
- When browsing folders, if there is an Arrow button next to a folder, it means that folder has subfolders. Press this Arrow button to view the subfolders.
- Shortcuts: ANSWER key to quit; END/OK key to minimize; tap the top right corner to minimize.

A. No.
Q. How to use the .CAB file?
A. http://www.google.com/search?q=install+cab
Q. Do I have to install S2U2 before installing S2V?
A. No.
Q. Can a GIF file be assigned to a contact?
A. No.
Q. When viewing GIF file, there is no animation?!
A. Yes.
Q. After assigning a photo to a contact, the Activesync on the PC shows an error!
A. It's because the size of the assigned photo is too large for Outlook to handle. You may manually press the sync button once more to dismiss the error, but it will not be saved in Outlook.
A. Upgrade to v0.38 or later.
Q. After running S2V a while, the ZOOM function/folder browsing does not work!
A. That's because your device is running out of free memory.
Q. When browsing folders, I cannot view the subfolders?! S2V always say "no picture here"?!
A. It's because the pics are sit at the subfolders. If a folder has subfolders, an "ARROW" button will be displayed next to it. Press that "ARROW" button will show the subfolders.
Q. After assigned a pic as Today's wallpaper, then change to Landscape mode, the wallpaper does not work?!
A. You have to assign another pic as the Landscape wallpaper as well.

Not tested. Just give it a try.
This looks great, I can't wait to test it. Its already posted over in PPCGeeks (that was fast).
I must say A_C....I just got the iTouch, and your apps (S2U2, and I think this as well) are better than what is offered on the 'original' devices. More features, better support, and smoother operation!!!!!
Keep up the good work!!!
Saying it's not a valid pocket pc app when I try running it from my phone. I have a samsung i760....
jv
Thanks for the new app, will give it a try to day!
you are the master!!!
wow.. fantastic app!! another surprise from you....it is really a fantastic app.. would like to replace it with the default picture application. you are great!!
Bella A_C,
this app looks nice and clean as S2U2 do, too.
Wishlist :
move from pic to pic like IPhone Pic-Browser.
You are a great dev

Have you installed S2U2 as well? If yes, upgrade it to v0.97 first.
MIX all the goodies
In addition to the application mentioned in the thread in the quete below
i would like to point out the free application here
http://www.pocketcm.com/imageviewer.php
it would be nice if all three applications mix:
1 iphone display (from one pic to another) in the thread below
2 zoom and pan from the link i mentioned above
3 adding the pics to S2U2 from your application
THANKSSSSSSSSSSS

If you are like me and most of you are if you are on this site. You love to hack/flash/reset/whatever to your phone but when you do so you lose most of your settings. I have a solution for one of the most annoying, in my opinion, reconfiguration you have to do. Adding all your Contact Ringtones and Sound & Notification Settings back to your phone.
KeepMyTones V1.6 Features:
- List All Contacts and wether they have a ringtone or not.
- Save/Restore Contact Ringtone Settings.
- Edit/Remove Contact Ringtone (WMA and MP3 Supported).
- Ability to decided where to save the file and where to restore from.
- Save/Restore your Sounds & Notification Settings
- Program now grabs all events from the phone instead of having them preprogrammed. If an event does not exist on a phone while restoring it will simply skip that event.
- Contact Ringtones can now preview WMA files.
- General Code Cleanup and Optimization
- FIXED: Multiple previewing of Contact Ringtones.
- FIXED: Works will all tested Windows Mobile 6.5 Roms both stock and cooked.
- FIXED: Removed Custom Message Balloon Notifications replaced with standard MessageBox.
- ADDED: Error Log for Contact Ringtone Restore. The file is created in the application directory \ErrorLog.txt.

What i'm looking for from everyone.
Just your feedback and any errors you may come across. Previously there was only three other people who have tested it, all being my friends so i'd like some outside input. Let me know if you hate it, love it, or even have a need for it. I know it saves me and my buddies a bunch of time not having to set those back up. I have about 30 set ringtones for various people, so its really nice.
Hope everyone likes it. This is my first app launched on XDA....
** This program is provided without Warranty or Guarantee. Just because it worked flawless on my phone doesn’t mean it will on yours. Like anything before using, backup all relevant data before proceeding. I take no responsibility for loss or damage to your phone. **​
The KeepMyTonesSmartCab.cab FILE IS ONLY FOR NON TOUCH SCREEN PHONES, ALL OTHER TOUCH SCREEN PHONES SHOULD DOWNLOAD FROM THE LINK ABOVE.
3 am looking forward to giving this a try..
thanks for taking the time to put it together
Thank you for this. About to download now.
Have downloaded and it appears to be a very well executed app. I like how easy it is to assign the ringtones to all your contacts and of course the save/restore function. Your work is appreciated. If I find any bugs I will post.
Thank you. Glad you like it. Hopefully you wont find any problems. My real concerns are international number formats. I have no way to test for those.
Thanks. I'll try it out.
thanks again fuzz
I see this app saves contact specific ringtone settings but does it save the general settings? And is it a problem that contact specific ringtone settings are not set? That's how i use my phone and it would be nice if it (only as an option) saves the general settings.
Besides that it would be nice to store the xml on a chosen place and backup it from there. You can give the user the option as a setting or when (s)he selects backup/restore.
I was also really hoping This would save General Settings...
It would save 5-10 minutes every time I update ROM's
Thanks for considering it..
I've looked into the Saving the general settings and i've run into a couple problems with it. It seems depending on what version of windows you are using those settings are stored differenetly. Ill check it out again.
As far as saving the file to a specific location that shouldnt be to hard. I just wanted to make it easy on my self and friends when saving/restoring. Most of my friends aren't exactly tech savy if you know what i mean.
Will you guys post what settings you are looking to save and i'll see what i can do.

The ringtone is the only piece of info not synced by Outlook and ActiveSync. So you must set it everytime you reset/flash your phone.
General Ring Tone
Notificaitons: Sound Files and Details.
New Email - NO LED/NO POPUP
New SMS
New MMS
New Voice Mail
REMINDER
It would be great to also save Active Sync stuff, but I do have a CAB file for my Exchange configuration.

No i'm going to check into the Sound side i was giving him crap for the Exchange and Email Settings. This is only to help with setting all your sound themes back to where you want them quickly and easily.
just the sounds is what i was looking for all the time! thanks, gonna give it a try.
flashoholis can backup everything, contacts, sms, exchange settings but somehow the sound were forgotten.
thanks for closing the gap

And that is the exact reason why i created this program a year ago. It made me so made everytime having to spend 20 minutes putting all my sounds back on. Thanks. I'm currently looking at the Sound Notification but i just compared my buddies phone and mine and the Keys that are used to store the info are different. I'm looking into Exporting the keys now.
Wish they make Video of there Programs
would help & be alot usefull
just a suggestion
Update: Figured out how to backup the sound notifications to another XML file but ran into a slight problem with the restore. Kinda restored the wrong options to the wrong Sound Profile. Now i have to Hard Reset my phone b/c i can't even access the Sounds And Notificaitons. And on that note, i'm done for the night. I'll hopefully have something up tomorrow for saving your Sound and Notifications.
Damn you! Now what am I going to do with all the extra time you just saved me! LOL
Probably use it to reflash!
Great job making this! Such a great addition for me!
I can't wait to try this out...Now I can save the ones I like from other ROMs that I lose everytime I reflash

[APP] (26 August 2009) Avatar - Ultra-smooth and finger-friendly photo dialer

I'd like to announce my latest app, 3 months in the making: Avatar! Avatar is a photo dialer with the ultra-smooth scrolling and low memory footprint characteristics you love about iContact and iDialer.
Avatar is extremely easy to use:
Flick to scroll among your contacts. Contacts without pictures will not show up.
Tap an avatar to bring up details. This is where iContact integration kicks in: if iContact is installed, Avatar will use it. If not, it will bring up the standard contact manager.
Tap-and-hold on an avatar to call using that contact's "smart property": the one that shows up in the standard contact manager. "<m>" = mobile, "<w>" = work, "<h>" = home, etc.
That's it! Easy!
Avatar features:
low memory footprint - only around 100KB on VGA
Works on all screens: VGA, QVGA, WVGA, WQVGA, Square
AppToDate support
Ultra-smooth scrolling
Integrates with iContact and iDialer

WOW!
Works great on imate 9502 wm6.1!
Impressive, as always.
But, can we have a way to close the program?
However...
Fdc Task Manager show 0% cpu usage when minimized.
Am I wrong? Amazing if this is true
Toggle
I made Mortscript prg to toggle Avatat display on/off through HButton.
AT = ReadFile ("\Storage Card\My Todays\a.txt")
If (AT = 1)
AT = 0
Minimize (Avatar)
WriteFile ( "\Storage Card\My Todays\a.txt" , AT )
Exit
EndIf
Run ("Storage Card\Program Files\Avatar\Avatar.exe")
AT = 1
WriteFile ( "\Storage Card\My Todays\a.txt" , AT )
Exit
Just requires a folder named "My Todays" on the Storage Card, a simple text file in that folder named "a" containing either a "1" OR "0" to start.
Then create a shortcut to your windows start menu, then hook up with HButton.
How about the first contact icon (top left) and last icon in avatar to minimize?
Or a left to right swipe across screen to minimize?
This addition to the iContact/iDialer/GreenButton family is awesome!
nice work as always mate .
Excellent.
How about displaying a generic image/photo for contacts without custom pictures?

Nope, it's a simple install.
Closing Avatar....
If you touch the top right corner of the screen it will exit the program. (It stays running in the background though).
If you want it to COMPLETELY close after you exit, point your registry editor to
HKCU/SOFTWARE/SUPWARE.NET/AVATAR/exitOnMinimize
and change the value from zero (0) to one (1).
Hope it helps!

Impressive, as always.
But, can we have a way to close the program?

and just to add my feedback to Doug - another great piece of software, well done and another essential add-on to my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone).
Superb!

Thanks! I'm sure that'll be the answer
Its very, very good...
I'm thinking of using it instead of iContact even...
Atention that the link on http://www.supware.net/Avatar/ points to another thread.
Just a few thought, there could be some extra options to:
- See the default taskbar (easier to close)
- Close on action (I saw the registry tip and noticed they are both there, eheheh)
- Switch click methods (click to call, press to see info)
- See all contacts, the ones without photo would have the default avatar picture (some I just cant get a photo easily).
Thank you for another great work!
I tried it again, today, must have been my xperia, i rebooted it etc. Great app, I have been using while driving, lot easier and safer.

Thanks for the feedback! (and everyone else too)
I fixed the link on my web site, thanks. For your #3, I originally had it switched, but I ended up accidentally calling people all the time. I think the way it is now is safer. For #4, I thought about that too, but my list would then look like mostly default avatars with a couple pictures every now and then. In that case, using a photo dialer is more annoying than just a text list of names like iContact. I thought perhaps if changing it to display a "category" instead of "all contacts" it would be better to display default avatars, but right now it can't display a single category. Maybe in the next version
I really love this app. Possible enhancement: being able set the contacts to match a category. This way if you want only a certain group you can set that, like an office setting and weekend setting.

That's a good idea. I've been thinking how to best handle that, and how to integrate it with iContact.
Fantastic app.
On my Diamond some photo contacts appear distorced, would be nice an option to show the photos in the real proportions (cutting the top&bottom or left/right sides).

great app! don't add default avatar images, the point is that only your "favourites" are showing up - the people you cared to add image for.
for that reason, it may make sense to add an extra button to the iContact app (on the bottom) which would open the Avatar! For me that would be more useful than the current iContact favourites, which is only a(n incomplete) category filter (without separation/scrolling by first letter, nor the option to chose a category different than the favoured...)
Thinking in this way - best solution would be that the favourites button is changed to open avatar button.

[APP] sneakText 1.0 - encrypt/decrypt any simple text message for any purpose

A little tool I wrote for WinMo 5 and up. Uses a custom built alphanumeric text cipher to secure just about any text-related operations you can think of. Enter a message in the interface, followed by a codeword, select 'sneak' or 'unsneak', and hit 'do it'. The app will then either securely encrypt the message, or decrypt it. Maybe good for those couples who both use WinMo
Tech note: Requires .NET CF 2.0 or later
EULA note: Use of this app is subject to an EULA located here. The basic points are:

NEW: An iPhone version has been released on the App Store for 99 cents - if you like the work I do here, feel free to purchase a copy on iTunes for either you or your friend... now your iPhone-using friends and colleagues can join in the fun too! Get it here at http://itunes.com/app/sneaktext
Edit: WOW this has been awesome! Got probably 100+ downloads on this within 2 days, so glad you seem to like it so much
If you want, feel free to post any success-stories or reviews in this thread, I wanna know how you guys are using it and what you think, whether I could improve it or what features I could add/remove... if you want of course
And again, totally optional, but this would be awesomely helpful if you could (my Wizard is really starting to perform its death-rattle now, battery's starting to screw up), please donate and help me on my way to a Touch HD so I can keep on writing apps for you guys, maybe even learn to cook and push a few ROMs out
YAEdit: Doesn't seem like I can embed a button that easy, so if anyone is interested in donating, PM me and I'll give you my paypal details
New version uploaded today (11/29/2009), same version number because it's a bugfix/minor change
Changes:
- Removed 'help' menu and replaced with 'edit' (about button is now in functions menu)
- Added 'edit' menu which enables you to copy from and paste to the 'message' field. You still need to type your key, but IMO that's good practice...keeps the keys memorabl
I changed the attachment in the first post to point to the latest version, so you can download it exactly the same
If you have any suggestions on what I could do to improve the app, let me know in this thread

LtBrenton, sorry for the dumb question but how do I sent the encrypted message via text. What is the procedure? do I copy and paste or is stored in a folder somewhere?
Hey, just copy and paste the resultant ciphertext into a new SMS. Remember the receiving party also needs to have a copy of the app and know your codeword they then paste it into the app and decode it

Well I've had nearly 40 downloads already just from here, so I wanna ask, how are you guys doing? Any comments on features, stuff I should add, change, or whatever? Drop them here, I'd love to hear your input
Also take a look at http://twickret.wordpress.com <- It's just a desktop edition right now, with an iPhone version imminent, but I'd like to see a show of hands for anyone who wants me to bash out a WinMo version of this for you guys to include in your ROMs Let me know what you think

Great app!
Is there a way to implement copy/paste withing the app, by tapping & holding? On my touch pro i need to use the keyboard to ctrl+c/v to copy/paste the text, but on my HD I can't copy paste text at all.
Other than that great work!
hey, on the HD for now you'll need to use the windows SIP ctrl+c/ctrl+v. I wasn't aware the tap/hold menu didn't work. I'll get this fixed in the next release as soon as my ISP stops dicking around with the 3G node...mobile lines suck when they're your main link
Update, it's fixed and the binary's been built. Unfortunately got no way to upload it for now but it's coming VERY soon
Changes:
- Removed 'help' menu and replaced with 'edit' (about button is now in functions menu)
- Added 'edit' menu which enables you to copy from and paste to the 'message' field. You still need to type your key, but IMO that's good practice...keeps the keys memorable
OK, fixed version is now downloadable from the first post in this thread Have fun
Out of interest, would anybody be interested in a "Secure-XDA" ROM consisting of a pile of crypto tools bundled? I was thinking of something like the following:
- sneakText installed by default
- Notes replaced by encrypted version
- Lockscreen replaced with a PIN/password prompt, which can have configurable 'consequences' for bad entries (such as forensic-wipe of certain files, SMS alert to configurable number, or in an extreme case, forensic wipe -> hard-reset)
- Built-in support for file/email encryption with PGP or similar
- other similar features
- Cool 'secret agent' theme
Any thoughts?
i will try and get a video of the app this weekend ..
Sweet, thanks for that man Looking forward to it

Just an update for any of you on the 'dark side' - a Windows .NET version and an iPhone version of one of my other crypto apps is available now for download on my other blog, http://twickret.wordpress.com - shout out if you want to see a WinMo version
Just bumping this to say sneaktext is available now for iPhone as well - so if you know anybody on the Apple side of the fence they can now receive your encrypted messages: check out the post on the blog

[MOD][4.0+] Google Keyboard Custom Smilies - ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ DONGERS OR RIOT ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ

[MOD][4.0+] Google Keyboard Custom Smilies - ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ DONGERS OR RIOT ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ノ
Google Keyboard has emojis. But not enough, what about when you're watching the excellent TwitchPlaysPokemon (as I write this, offline and in full riot mode) and need a wide range of "dongers" to input into chat in order to actually fit into the norm there?
That's why I made Google Keyboard Custom Smilies (from now, GKCS)
Here's what it does:
- Adds 124 preset "dongers" to the emoji keyboard's "" tab
- Limits the length of keyboard characters to 4, to prevent the UI looking horrible. Inputs are normal.
- Allows you to set your own labels for the inputs
You can also add your own custom text. It can be anything, from "" to the navy seals copypasta
And of course, it's fully customizable (order, delete what you don't want) and is material designed.
Please note that the inputting of Unicode symbols used in most of the emoticons requires the app to actually support them. If it doesn't, there's nothing I can do.

Does this work for Google Keyboard language variants? For example Google Korean Keyboard.

A few bugs in the module UX -
1. When deleting dongers, from time to time, random dongers get deleted. For example, I tap the delete icon for donger X. Instead, donger N gets deleted.
2. Each time I delete any donger, the entire list's order gets reset. That is, I had moved the dongers around to my liking. But as soon as I delete any donger, the sort order resets.
Please please please fix these. I don't think any LogCat is required for this, right?

How quickly are you rearranging the items? It has to reapply all the items to the preferences every time and that might lag behind
Great addition.

Looks like time doesn't matter in this case. I deleted the ones I wanted to delete and sorted the remaining ones in the order I wanted. I then left the phone on my desk and didn't touch it for 2 hours. After that, I opened hangout, opened the keyboard and saw that the dongers are showing up in the order I had set.
Next, I open your app and delete one more donger. Aaaanddd... the sort order again resets.

Do you know your way around a root file manager like Root Explorer? It would be useful if you could check the order of them in /data/data/com.quinny898.xposed.googlekeyboardcustomsmileys/shared_prefs/smileys.xml

Yesterday was my "murphy's law" day, I guess. Most of the bugs I reported on different module threads solved themselves right after the developer replied to my comment. I see the xml has correct index number for each of the dongers and they are in correct order in the keyboard.
Another request then.... The dongers are not quite distinguishable in the keyboard; because of their size. I can see only left half of them and hence can't easily identify which one I want to use. (Screenshot attached). Can their preview size be reduced in the keyboard; so that entire donger is visible?
Nope. I limited to them to 4 characters for that reason.
This is what it looked like without the limit when I was making it:

I think if you can mod the number of columns each donger occupies in the keyboard's grid, then this problem will get resolved. Right now, each emoticon and donger occupies one cell each. I don't know whether this is possible to modify though.
