So I've been using QuickMenu for the longest time and I do love it,but I was wondering if there is a better Start Menu replacement that's more finger-friendly.
I have the HTC Touch, so I do realize it comes w/ the larger start menu already., but the program menu, when I choose to run a program, that program menu doesn't close automatically and I find that really annoying.
Plus, I'd like something that looks a lot slicker and utilize the finger gestures betters =D
Have you tried out ScrollLauncher? It's not a start menu replace, but it's a finger friendly program launcher. You just activate it and it lists all your programs on which you can finger flick up and down to see everything. A simple double tap launches the program. Maybe that will help a little.

Well, I'd like to have something to replace the start menu,so it needs to start when I hit the Start Menu icon, and have a similar structure to Quick Menu: Favorite programs, recent programs, Settings, and running programs, etc
Suggestion
Try:
HTC Enlarge Start Menu [eng]

A little CAB file that enlarges your start-menu for fingerfriendly use.
Will look as on the screenshot attached (thanks to google).

I already said that I have the HTC Touch with that Enlarge Start Menu. What I don't like is that when I go to programs and settings folder, and the folder doesn't automatically close after I choose to run an item from it. Plus, I'd like to have something more configurable and also shows running programs that I can close from there
wisbar lite or advance?

They aren't finger touch friendly. I'm thinking along the lines of Schap's TouchXperience, but without all his bells and whistles, more focused on replacing the Start Menu, Programs Menu, and Settings menu. Think of what you get in Quick Menu, but more finger friendly

Wisbar Advance 3 has touch friendly features. You just need to turn them on.
You can use a combination of MortButtons and FTouch.

Can you take a screenshot of this? I've looked around, but all the Wisbar start menu pics show a cascading menu that is not finger friendly

It would be nice to have one app that does this and does not require a finger gesture to launch the start menu; I just want to hit the Start Menu and have going it from there

With WisBar Advance, you can start any program when you tap the start menu icon or window title. Or even different ones. E.g., I've configured it so that it shows the Today screen for the "start menu icon" and a MortButtons menu with the window title. And the default menu is invoked by tap&hold on the title, so I've got a backup if a development version of MortButtons hangs...

Right, but Mortbuttons is not the ideal Start menu replacement. You'd have to put in everything you want to show in it, rather than it automatically showing what's under the Start Menu folder in your system. Plus, what about the Control Panel?
Imagine the Wisbar Advance cascading Start Menu but a lot more finger friendly. That's what I'm looking for

You can add both the start menu folder and the control panel as entries (CP requires new beta). So you can do a MortButton menu with your most used apps, and include "usual" start menu and control panel as submenus.
Do you know SKMenu?
I use it for some time and I'm happy with it.
It let you customize the menus, including start menu and control panel, and create other news.
Now, in the last version, it has a full sreen mode.
Diamond oem (on this forum) has packages for smart scroling and gestures
I have noticed considerable ease scroling windows and pushing buttons with my finger.
I still use QuickMenu 2.7 Is there a newer version?
.Big Tabbed Start Menu
- When u click on menu icon a drop down big menu appear separated into 3 parts the first on containing last running Programs
Second one .. contain tabs for programmers folders when user click on any a down menu appear show Program Icons
a third part is for setting contain 3 tabs .. (Personal - System - Connection) When member click on any a menu appear contain the Icons ..somethng like this
I am also looking for something like this. I used wisbar, but since there are no nice VGA skins + it slows down the ppc a lot I am looking for an replacement. Anything new on this?
well all you guys want (as I do) is quickmenu..... with bigger font size.
Maybe someone could have a look into its dll see if something can be done.
Or email nanling (I think) to ask him to get a doubled version out ?
err I know it's been a while but if anyone's still interested, there's FdcSoft StartMenu
this menu is HUGE
Hi,
Is there an app that will invoke the "Share via" menu upon clicking a link? I'm currently looking for a way to quickly add items to ReadItLater (instead of loading the page in the browser and clicking share).
Thanks!
Hi every one
I have already develop a new android app, this app have three activities:
the first one :
there is just one button when the user press the button it will transfer him to the second activity and this is the default activity
the second one:
there is multiple edit Texts and spinner item and two buttons the user fill the data and when he press the save button it will save the data in a shared preference and transfer him to the third activity
the third one:
it is a list activity and it will list the shared preference that the user saved
so if there is a shared preference I have change the default activity to the third activity, if not it will stay the first activity
how I can do that ????
and thanks for helping...:good:

Long press anywhere on homescreen, then select unlock widgets.
Now long press on the widget you want to edit, a menu will pop up select configure, then select the text you want to reassign thenin the small row of options below select text>hotspot> then replace the default app by clicking it and selecting desired app in activities menu.
Sounds complicated but pretty easy

oh my god thank you!
Let say for some reason I have gotten a code where the main activity will present a dialog to allow the user to confirm exit or just cancel, I would like to implement that the user can use the arrow key to move left and right or rotate back to the two buttons ( cancel or ok ), how do I do it in code ?
I found many solutions using the XML method where the view will have the android:nextFocusRight="@+id/button2". But how could this be done programmatically ?
I could not find the equivalent using java code.
Thank you very much.
