I've been working on picture viewer for the HTC Touch that has a little more of an intuitional feel(kinda like the iphone tho mine has some major differences) You can use the touch screen for everything including changing pictures, panning, and zooming in or out. Right now 2 mega-pixel images take about a second to load(used to take 4-5!)
Here's how to control it:
To use gesture mode check "Gesture Mode" in options menu, to use double-click mode uncheck "Gesture Mode."
Gesture Mode:
Sweep your thumb to the left to move to the next picture
Sweep your thumb to the right to move to the previous picture
(for sweeping, start with your thumb/finger off the phone, otherwise it'll mistake it for the panning gesture)
Press on the picture and then move to pan
Double-press to change to full screen.
Double-Click Mode:
double press to switch between panning and switching pictures/zooming.
move picture with finger in panning mode
zoom by moving finger up/down in non-panning mode
switch pictures by moving finger left/right in non-panning mode

Update 3/3/08 6:49 PM PST:
Eesh, so for those of you who downloaded that last update earlier today, I'm sorry. I found a couple rather nasty bugs that made the program nigh on unusable after I left the house. Fortunately I've managed to fix those and it's looking pretty stable. You can also now zoom in unlimitedly(almost). Basically it'll let you zoom in until your phone runs out of memory to handle a picture of that size. Don't worry, it won't crash or anything, it just won't go any bigger(you'll kinda see it seem to bounce back to being its original size). Let me know about any problems you find. On a side note, I actually was able to make it crash by trying over and over again to push the picture past the boundary the phone could handle. It should work perfectly for normal use, just don't go trying to make it break, or it will.
Update 3/3/08 10:13 PM PST:
Big day today updates wise, and this one is a BIG update. First, I fixed the problem of the background not covering all of the screen in landscape mode. What? That's not a big enough update? Ok, I'll throw in the ability to rotate pictures too . There is now a button in the bottom-right corner(should be out of the way enough I think) that will rotate the picture 90 degrees counter-clockwise. There is one slight problem with the rotation, it works kinda strangly with my new zooming algorithm and if you zoom in too much and then try to rotate it will crash the program. Simply put, just don't zoom in very far and then rotate it and it should be fine. Oh, and for those worried about speed, it rotates in a fraction of a second(don't know exactly how long but it feels instantaneous).
Sounds great!
I tried it but i'll get an error related to "Internal.Get.File.Directorynames".
Maybe because the name of my storage card isn't "Storage card" but "Opslagkaart" (dutch version).

ya, that explains it... I need to fix that, I'll get on that now
Sounds COOL i'm in for testing ENGLISH rom here
OK now i understand what you mean by you just started working on it today lol so no need to talk about bugs yet hein
I really LOVE the double-click to exist maybe you can find another gesture for zoom in/out for example
Cheers
How did you get the TouchFLO to respond to gestures? I was looking into using some gestures is a test application, but I havent found anything yet
Heh, actually I didnt, I just set capture to true and created my own gestures(really, really simple ones) to handle it. I would have no idea how to utilize touch-flo for this
Man, you are the one.
i´m along time waiting for this stuff, men very very god.
Thanks, i´m rigth now testing your app.
work on this and make a realy god application for the ppc world .
Ok, here's an updated version, now it initializes to the root directory and lets you choose whichever folder you want to load pictures from. The pictures still load fairly slow but they are a little better. Also, pressing on the bottom menu activates it, so basically you double press on the menu/quit icons. However, you have to actually choose one of the options to get back to being able to move the picture again (annoying, I know but I'm trying to figure out a way around that.) Also of note: you press the names of the directories you want to open twice to go into them. Clicking accept will choose the directory you're currently looking at. I think you'll see what I mean. It's actually fairly intuitional when you're doing it. 2 MP pictures take about 4-5 seconds to load. Again, if any1 knows a faster way to load in the pictures than using the Bitmap constructor, please let me know. Finally, none of the menu items are actually implemented, so clicking on them right now just makes it so you can move the picture again.
good work
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
Justo 2 remarks, your program have a lot of potential of improvements.
But for now, just 2 important functions. if is possible for you to improve.
1. 1 browser like resco picture viewer, just to chose 1 picture to start.
2. that browser need to be finger scroll friendly, just like the touch rom.
scroll and chose the picture that you like to see, pic the picture and see just one or scroll just like your application do right now, because now you must scroll to all the picture just to see 1 that is im the midle.
sorry for my ingles, but i´m also working on that
great job for you my friend, congratulations and good work.
Ok here are some comments on the updated version
1. The swiping "feels" a little better but it still "hangs" on the border a bit
2. The picture still "looks" stretched on the screen
3. when you exist and re-enter the program the image location is not "remembered"
4. it would be nicer if we can have a tree view of the folders to select from
5. when u reach the last (or first picture) we shld somehow be notified that it is the last picture OR loop again from the start
I really LOVE the concept of this program can't wait to see it done
@ArcticCat, it does actually loop again to the first picture when you get to the end. What were you experiencing? If it crashed it's probably a memory issue. That goes along with my problem of opening the bitmaps, as does the hanging on the edge of the screen. Anyway, let me know, I can only try this on mine right now.
go on nice work.
a browser with pictures and landscape is the nest steps, in my opinion.
i`m just talking abaut resco viewer because is the program for me that actualy load a browser withy pictures very quikly, is very, very fast.
i dont now the working process used but...is just 1 ex. that is possible, and very fast with 7 mpixel fotos..
but i love your program and for me is now the 1 one for see fotos
must have 1 directory by defaut on open.
maube 1 option to browse with your app or use to browse the defaut one in WM just to see the pictures and when picture start.
go on and thanks a lot man...very...very..very and fast work.

I'm sorry I just noticed it does loop!
can't wait to see the next upgrade
Aweome app with great potential !!
You will be the talk on xda for a few days to come !!
Cheers buddy !!
any1 know where the app that rotates the screen is? I tried looking up how to do it within a program but it looks too daunting so I think I want to just launch that app but I can't find it. Let me know
Update time! This time I added that feature request for being able to choose a picture from the middle using a list of the pictures, you'll find the option under the menu under "Choose Picture." Also, I added full screen capability, just double press on the screen(yes, it replaced quit) and you'll get a little more room. That extra room would be completely unneeded were it not for my final update and the biggest of all. You can now resize the picture by sliding your finger up or down the screen. Up increases the size and down decreases it. Theres a wait period when you resize because it reloads the picture at the correct resolution. Have fun!
*Note:* due to the added memory needs of the choose picture screen, the app will probably crash if you try to load a picture from it unless you have the ROM with the expanded memory. I'll get to work now on another version where this isn't necissary but you won't get the choose picture feature. Still need a way to load in a 2MP image at a lower resolution without loading the entire thing into memory.

A quick note before testing it
I think it is about time you start with
1. introducing version number for each release much easier to track which version we have installed
2. a history log
sorry for being picky
I'm back
1. Pictures in portrait mode are still loaded as landscape so they are stretched and distorted
2. picture folder is still not remembered
3. Maybe an option to start in the "choose picture" mode would be useful
4. I LOVE THE ZOOM in/out man it is really GREAT : IF possible you can make that the part that is being zoomed to is actually where the "click" occurred
5. Now that we can ZOOM basic finger movements like (UP/DOWN/RIGHT/LEFT) should become part of PANNING across the picture no? maybe
a. double click to go back to "fit in view" size
b. changing pictures would only work in "fit in view" when zoomed in RIGHT/LEFT would Pan across the picture
c. to Zoom in out would become one quick click followed by another and then UP/DOWN
just speculating
keep it out please
Marcus,
hello again,
these becames my favorite tread on xda, and another one calls "TouchNav" is also cooll, but is far away from the final yet.
my comments are exactely the same as the last posted by ArticCat.
awsome program man, go on, you have a lot of talent.
1.another thing, just to help, the resco picture viewer do the load of 100 picture in the browser (to chose the start picture), in 1 second, it´s incredible the speed.
sorry but i dont know how it possible, but is just one example.
Maybe you change the defaut wm browser by the resco one, but if you do that, you stay dependtly from resco application confused: )
2.the landscape option not work
3. the options not work
4 we need a icon for this application, yes this app as grow and now is a serious one, she want a icon
Thanks and good work
I'm going out of town tomorrow morning and won't have my computer with me so there won't be any new updates till I get back. However, I will continue to watch this thread(using my touch hehehe) and can respond to any questions you guys have(or any ideas!) I'm not sure when I'll get back but it'll be definately by sunday.
hello, my friend recently purchased the tilt, so naturally I had to commandeer (typo) it. his today screen has a nice button in the top right corner (where the 'x' button is normally located) to access a small menu full of the apps that are running. and the normal list of options are there: end, endall and whatnot.
I was simply wondering if someone is in possession of this plugin.
also, though not AS desired. the tilt apperently is able to have text messaging displayed on his today screen.
You mean HTC X-button? Search for it and be happy
pBar is much more powerfull and better than HTC X-button. Don't know the exact homepage of pbar but you can download it from here. (free registration required)
Regards,
Carty..
Also check out Wktask. One of my favorites.
I use the HTC X-Button..They all seem to work about the same.

Yes, the tilt uses X-button, as does the touch and all future planned HTC buttons. You can find it all over this forum as well as others.
As many users here have already mentioned, there are actually many better options (X-button only shows you that info on the home screen, whereas wktask or my personal favorite- Qmenu, lets u view all your running programs whenever you want. These alternatives also generally use less resources).
As far as the SMS on the today screen... I don't get it, doesn't your titan do this? Whenver I get an SMS, the notification menu pops up on the bottom of the today screen (or any screen really) and shows me all 160 characters of the text message.
QuickMenu_en_2.7
works well for me
I've been using Android for 2 years and just bought my Mango Titan past week. Having read many positive reviews, I had high hopes.
There are things that I had expected a normal user would expect to have. Things that really disappoints (or is there any app to solve these?):
1.No smart dialing. I found apps on Market to complement that but then those apps does smart dialing and nothing more. To see phone history, missed calls etc, I have to go back to the original phone app. Kind of strange to put two phone app tiles on main screen.
2. How to turn off notification sound at night automatically? My phone charges on my night desk and keeps beeping when emails come in in the the middle of the night. In Android we have the SoundManager app that can set daily time zones to turn on/off various rings/notifications.
3. Pressing on the live tiles will launch a program (say Facebook app). That's fine, but having pressed the Win button to go back to main screen and launch the same app again seems to launch the program from scratch (i.e. slow). It's very often that we hop among a few apps to do things. Long press on the "back" button could bring things back much more quickly.
4. Calendar. The calendar is the weakest thing I've used in the past few years (WM6, Android 1.5-2.3, iOS) It's basically useless in the month-view as I cannot read anything on it and there is no week-week. Calens\dar tile seems to only show tomorrow's events and nothing beyond een when the tile has lots of space left to show more stuff.
5. On-line status. Is there any way I don't sync status with all accounts? Right now when I say I'm on-line for MSN chat, it'll also show me on-line in Facebook...
6. No folder to aggregate various tiles/apps. My tile and app list is already growing so long that I find it cumbersome to scroll through it.
7. Hand writing Chinese recognition is so slow. Basically the stroke lags.
8. WhatsApp problem. Very often it says I have received new msg and the tile says so too. Yet when I go inside, nothing. May be this is WhatsApp only?
Am I the only one that is disappointed? Sadly the list seems to be growing...

Ok there is multitasking in WP 7.5 instead pressing back button each time U leave a app press the home button the middle one and then if you have more then one app that U opened up U can press and hold the back button the left one and it brings up all current running apps and it will instanly pick up where U left of.
---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------
Also when U have enoug apps on ur phone in the scrol menu will apear letters a b c on so forth where all Apps are listed when U press on the letter a for exsample a checker board comes up where U select letters a to z for fast app access also U can just do voice search. Also folders are available when you root your phone. It is a homebrew app.

A novelty app that uses front facing camera to cast reflection on screen elements as a filter overlay.

What would be the use of that? D:
An app that makes it possible to run mobile webapps full screen, kind of like the way the latest chrome beta can do, but for any site.
An keepass app with synchronization built in, and on top of that an internal Web browser, so you can have actions like "copy password" and "copy username" right there. Kind of the way 7 pass does it (on Windows Phone)
Nanaca crash, a simple flash game where the object is to throw a person as far as you can, kind of like "hit crazy frog" kind of game but a hit more advanced. Requires just one button so that would be perfect for Android smartphones.

Removing reflection from the screen - so the text would more readable.

Oh that's not what I understood. I guess the idea would work if the processing was quick enough and the picture high resolution enough. But front facing cameras are none of the above.
Thanks for your current suggestions, let me see more !
no more ideas?
I have an App Request too
An On-Screen Floating Object-Oriented Toolbar, with Back, Home, Menu, & Directional keys, + additional keys depending on active screen or current app
including a 'cycle-through elements' button then hit enter on the one you want to activate
things that can be done with your thumb from one small location.
then tap & hold contracts it into a smaller set of buttons
and you can select the number of buttons & their default positions for both the expanded state and the compacted state.
so it could be used to navigate around programs, select different elements, or used as a game controller, or keypad enhancement, or enhanced navigation etc

For ex Twitter can jump to the screen or can go throw a tunnel something like that

I just got the ZF9, that is my first Zenfone, so I am a bit puzzled about how to make it work for me, so my hope is that some oldtimers would be able to direct me to be happy about the phone!
I have been searching for help but found nothing.
My questions:
1. how do I get a blank front page ?
2. how do I create app folders on front page?
3. how do I fasten apps at the front?
4. how do I get rid of google on the first page?

1. You can't create a new blank page but you can drag widget or app to the new blank page at the far right.
2. Hold empty space on front page and you will see a checkmark on each app. Select the app you want to group then create folder.
3. You can lock home screen in the preferences -> home screen.
4. Hold empty space on front page, at the far left you can toggle on or off the google now page

Hi Mickey! Thank you very much for your answer. It certaintly send me on a heavy task as I moved some 130 apps to the blank pages, and it looks allright, except for the tiny "bobles" so i have to get new glasses Kurt
