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.
So I have a habit of sliding the phone open and then pressing the hardware messaging key, and no matter what, it never seems to work. I press the button, and Ill see the today screen, but no messaging window. I have to slide it back closed and open again and everything sorts itself out.
I've tried looking, but haven't seen anyone complain about this particular problem. Anyone else fret about this? any solutions?
no one has this problem?
Similar
I find my X01HT in landscape mode when i wake him um with the "on" button, and have to wait for it to "think" a litle bit to obey me, while that, if I try to push any command he will go crazy and the image will stay locked in the last scene and will not get actualized... Kind of annoying thing, using black Satin... But i'll try schaps now to see if that goes away...

Im on WM5.
Vijay, I don't want to disable orientation permanently. Just sometimes, I want to start messaging, so in stanby mode itself, ill open and start it up. thats what confuses the 8525, thats all. I have to close the phone, and then slide it open again for it to regain consciousness!
Its no biggie, but i was just wondering if any1 else had a similar issue.
FINALLY... WHAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps

Is there anyway or any app to lock just the "phone screen" or phone dialer to portrait. I STFF and google and can not find anything.
I could not find anything either. Obviously the lock screen in settings locks it to landscape but so do the widgets and apps like the one from curvefish.
I really dont have trouble keeping it in portrait but I do agree and would like something that I can lock it there if I really wanted to.
following this guide will allow you to lock the phone in portrait http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084850
as for the phone dialer, you can modify the manifest file in the app to only allow it to use portrait...unfortunately I'm still trying to figure out how to get the phone app to work after performing the modification.
I hope this is the correct place for this thread, my apologies if it is not.
After some searching i did not find anything.
I'm just wondering if there is currently an app out there that allows certain applications to use the rotation sensor on our phones, but not other applications.
For instance i like to text message in landscape mode sometimes but when i go to my home screen and tilt my phone at all, the home screen will go to landscape which i don't like because it takes a long time to switch back and forth between portrait and landscape and seems to be overly sensitive to the axis of my phone.
Does this application exist? If not, how hard would it be to create? i feel like i'm not the only person who would enjoy this application so any help would be wonderful.
I don't know if an app already exists specifically for your needs but your home launcher itself should have an option to turn off the screen rotation altogether without turning it off for everything else.

Yes i know about this feature. I'm looking for something for allowing it to switch for certain apps but not all. any idea how hard this would be to create?
Have you tried Smart Rotator? Seems like it may do what you want. Available in the Market.
Try this, maybe it'll help for what you need?

Ah! thank you very much macellaio, this seems to be EXACTLY what i was looking for, although it does seem to take up a good chunk of RAM (25MB) thank you very much. no clue why i couldn't find that.
