Now 2.0 with subfolder search and much more - look at changelog
I made this Plugin, because I think it's very useful for me - and perhaps it's also useful for you.
Another Launcher? No - not like the Launcher, which are already available - I wouldn't have developed it otherwise - and I developed it mostly on my handy, because I hadn't much time the last weeks.
You can define in some Launchers what you want - but what about if you want to start quickly something, which is not in your Favos?
And how about a Keyboard direct in Titanium? (could tease some iPhone-Fans )
And therefore "TitaniumStarter" - to start everything quickly. Together with Favorites Plugin of contable and JMLLauncher from JMHL (and jmltoday) I got a wonderful "Launch suite"
Features:
- Keyboard direct in Titanium Panel
- Full animated switching between Keyboard and Results (it should look cool)
- Designed to launch quickly each program in Start Menu with direct accessable different input methods
- Installed by TICS_installer: So it will work in ALL THEMES not only Standard Titanium, also Blizz,Josito,... (if you want to make a special .plg for the keyboard in your favorite Theme, just give it to me, I will integrate it)
- ALL RESOLUTIONS: QVGA, WQVGA, VGA, WVGA
- ALL ROM-Languages - no dependencies to a country or WWE-ROM - it knows, where your Start Menu is to find
- Different type modes (left side of keyboard):
-- I = one letter will start search for all Programs in Startmenu with this abecedarian letter
-- II = one letter needs tab on "GO", after two letters automatic search
-- III = type the word as long you want - only "GO" initiates search
- Wildcard-Search - e.g. "*oo" in Mode III would find "Groovefish" as well as "Bluetooth Explorer"
- Launches programs/chooses letter after tab on plugin - possible because of AreaButtons of JMLPanex
- To erase last letter just click backward button in the bottom-right corner under "GO"
- to erase all input just click on current mode on left side
- ...little bit more- just find it out
Changelog & additional Features of 2.0:
- now can search all subfolders of Start Menu
- Search Algorithm written in C - so very fast search
- completely redeveloped data structure
- Adjustable Animation-speed (Set Animation Time not too low, to prevent Timeouts)
- Links can viewed with or without Folder Info
- Extra Design for Folder-View/Non-Folder View
- Context Menu to change Folder-View, Refresh,Animation-Speed
- After Start an Application, Plugin switch to Keyboard and refresh itself
- Skinable - only provide a new /image-Directory
- Little bit more, which I've forgotten now
AddOn: If your Animation is too slow - you can use smaller Images, which has been made by Jumba - just replace the Images with them from Image-Directory of TitaniumStarter.
Download: images_smaller_sizes_by_Jumba.zip
Requirements:
- Mortscript 4.2 or higher *Download Mortscript 4.2*
- JMLPanex >= 2.0 / better 2.10 *Download JMLPanex* for working Titanium-Buttons
I have some ideas for updates or for another usages of this - it's something what I have developed/will develop ocassionally.
TitaniumStarter is free und will stay free - please don't repost it without asking.
Install to Main Memory like every Titanium Plugin and of course: I overtake no responsibility for damaging your device (however this should go )

I just installed it and have a question right away, this looks only under start menu and not in subfolders?
I have my shortcuts organized in start menu subfolders, and it does not find them.
Thanx for the nice words - glad that you like it
Look at Post #2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4802002#post4802002
I've added a wishlist - and at first I will integrate subfolders, ok? (ASAP)
Animations are ok?
Micha
woooow, good jub
keep it up buddy
I just tried a lil,and I'll wate for you to support second language keyboard and second folder
if you want a chinese tester, I can help, just contact me

Animations look very cool, for my taste i would make them just a little bit faster, on my device the panel takes 4 seconds to turn.
i love it already although currently its kind of unusable yet for me.
- subfolder problem as described above it just doesnt find anything
- when using wm 6.5.1 pressing a letter presses much higher than it should due to the bigger bottom bar. seems the settings need adjusting here somehow?
look forward to an update, thanks!!

You can adjust the offset in Panex. - to go up and + to go down.
hi,
@pencilcase: offset of panex like claus said will solve your problem, and therefore that I have everything in my main folder,I didn't implement it in subfolder.but next version will do it,must only look for the speeed to find files while turning panel
thanx for the nice words
@claus: 4 seconds? ok,then animation speed will be adjustable in next version,too. on my diamond it's 1 second.i hope it's not exactly beetween turning in middle,because there is the folder-crawling,so that the speed of your file system is the cause.
@kane: of course I'd like to have chinese tester - but what do you mean with second language keyboard? what should I do? anothers layout or signs?
@all : only a question: in mode III - how "responsive" is your device? I mean-could you type fast longer text with this keyboard,too?
sorry 4 typos - only from handy online.
cheers

The keyboard is not very fast, immagine due to Panex response, phone keyboard is faster, but as only a few characters have to be typed it is no problem, and visually i like this onpanel keyboard better.
therefore I asked-on my Diamond I could write quite fast also longer notes/text - how much MHz is your processsor or do you have running mortscripts besides,which slow down system performance?
because of subfolder search: I mentioned this would be too sloww while animation in Mortscript.
So I will develop it in C as sub-process to animation.
that's not possible on my handy,so it will take a litttle more time,until I'm back @home.
but then it should be fast enough to search recursively.
@all: please tell me also the responsiveness of the keyboard-together with yyour device type and processsor speed.

Once again great work, Micha !!!
Here is the link to my new thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4813673#post4813673
Greetz
contable
for chinese virson i mean the keyboard can also support typing chinese
I know it sounds like almost inpossable....., but if there's a opportunity I'll catch it
but really need this tool to support secend(third, fourth) folder in start menu, this is the most important, and i have to say, good job MichelDiamond , keep it on
@contable: Great FavPeople&Launcher with Multi-Buttons-Plugin - cool! ( & you have a PN)
@Kane: Oh - the chinese keyboard would be interesting. I have 27 buttons - would that be enough? Perhaps we can work together, to get a chinese Variation of it Do you have a screenshot with a comparison of english and chinese keyboard?
And to "second","third" folder - like I said: Mortscript would need roundabout 2-5 seconds to find everything (on my Diamond) - so I have to do it in C... better: had to do it in C - I must think about my last developing of a recursive function, which has to be fast... but I'm roundabout 30ms for 250 Links in Startmenu in all subfolders
But therefore I had/have to change the whole data structure of TitaniumStarter, too... and have to change a little bit the design to make folders visible... and add a Menu to switch on/off Folder expansion.
And that I'm about to do - I had not very much time the last days - but recursion works really fine
From outside - the Panel will look quite similiar to 1.0 - but inside there are very much changes - it's like a new Panel
Need only a little bit time to do this all - but won't take very long - depends on my office
If somebody has more ideas for later, just tell it. Let's see what such a "fun work" will produce

ok, here's 4 of chinese input keyboard , choose one
but i prefer to use the last one for Chinese Traditional and second one for Chinese Simplified.couse the first one and third one there's not much ppl use it
jejeje I know it looks complex,and it really are,chinese input not like english
a=a and if you want to type "apple" you just need to type apple on the keyboard chinese keyboard is like this if you want to type 我(me) you have to type ㄨㄛˇ then there's some words pup up like 我 婐 捰 they all sounds like ㄨㄛˇ
jejeje when i type here I found chinese Variation is almost impossable
but if you can make it possable , please please tell me, I'll do whatever i can to help you
and I have a new suggestion
why just limit this wonderful tool in start menu??
why not let ppl choose what folder they want to search?
and you can set dafult folder in Program Files both in Storage card and main
I suggess this is because there's a lot of non-install apps out there , and it's tired to link them all to start menu
hope you dont think I'm crazy
if you want my MSN skype or google wave, just sent me a PM ok? I'll do what ever i can to help you
That looks very complicated
To make a Keyboard is not the problem - but to know which Key is signed with which Letter. The Filenames are the same?
And your proposal with other search locations: Yes - that's possible with Data structure from 2.0 - but there are expansions needed - e.g. to search or... "what" .exe .* .dll .... and so this should be a new Plugin. The search will also take longer - depends on the size of the files on the search location. Perhaps there should be a favorite Folder-Init... and much more. (already thought about to write SMS with this Keyboard? *g* )
I only have too much projects and work at the moment - ut I won't forget it - perhaps we could do it together (the chinese keyboard, too Would you look a little bit how the keyboard works? Panex can't overgive Parameters to .mscr - so it's easy to read )
Ah - I forgot - 2.0 is finished *g*
It's done - 2.0 is online to free download now!
The Subfolder search is now implemented-was completely rewritten in C, to be fast (Mortscript would have been too slow for such recursive search op's)
Further you now have a Context Menu to adjust animation speed or switch between Subfolder View and Program-only View
much more - see changelog and picture below or in Post #1
Changelog & additional Features of 2.0:
- now can search all subfolders of Start Menu
- Search Algorithm written in C - so very fast search
- completely redeveloped data structure
- Adjustable Animation-speed
- Links can viewed with or without Folder Info
- Extra Design for Folder-View/Non-Folder View
- Context Menu to change Folder-View, Refresh,Animation-Speed
- After Start an Application, Plugin switch to Keyboard and refresh itself
- Skinable - only provide a new /image-Directory
- Little bit more, which I've forgotten now
Have fun - and thanx for the big feedback!

cool Micha, let me try 2.0
animation is wonderfol
very fast
and I'm trying to set the folder, I can only set one folder right?
mmmm and what can I help you ?
Hey folks,
the first week with my new G Watch is over and im still impressed of the simple daily usefulness of it.
I´m kinda an early adopter and do like the freaky stuff as well (of course i had to try Flopsy Droid and so on...) but the potential in daily usage is huge I guess!
Every day a few new thoughts came to my mind, what feature I would love to have and what modification would be useful.
So I wrote some down and I think, I´m not alone with this, am I? ?
So here is my list and I will update it regularly. What ideas do u all have when using the G Watch?
Hopefully some modder, programmers or GoogleGuys get lost here :angel:
Google / System / gApps:
Maps:
- Proximity warning/information for Google locations (vibration if a friend is in a specified radius around me)
- Show small map with friend location….
- simple function: showing a map with my position on it….
gMail-App:
- Button for Deleting email
- Button for Subject and/or Text when answering or composing
- Possibility to scroll through email headers (like calendar) and open them up for reading
Settings:
- Vibration setting (duration, intensitiy, etc. depending on event
- Free choosable Apps i.e. for weather forecast etc.
Voice commands:
- “Where is contact.name?” (Shows a little map and the distance to this person)
- “Lights on” (start flashlight app or (later hardware versions…) LED)
- “Hangout to contact.name: xyz” / “Whatsapp to contact.name: xyz / and so on...
- possible to dictate punctiuation marks in german as well.. my god… cant be so hard if implemented in english for a LONG time now….
App Ideas / Wishes:
Speedometer for Cycling etc (already partly realized with "Speedometer")
WhatsApp !! Whats taking so long?
News / Headlines (App that just shows Headlines of ie. RSS feeds, with a touch you can read the whole story on the watch
App that can record Voice commands and open a specific APP for this command (on watch or phone)
Remote control apps (like for samsung TVs) should work with WEAR.. so i can switch channels and so on with my watch
Hardware: (my G Watch 2 should have...)
One or even 2 cameras, for selfies etc.
brigthnessensor for autom. display illumination
little speaker ( just for plings, alarm clock, etc)
LED for flashlight and for status messages
infrared for using it as remote control

This already exists in form of a couple apps.

Yes please! Would be so useful

Doesn't it already work like that? If I have multiple emails I only see the header and the first line and when I click on the the whole thing opens for reading.

Just disable the weather card in google now and use your own favorite forecast app. This works perfectly already. But maybe I don't quite get what you mean here ^^

Yeah would be really useful. And yes better german implementation is a must So many commands still only work in english :S
