Full screen caller id - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

i just upgraded to opentouch 3.0 slimline from 2.7 biggy.
Here are things which I am looking for
1) when someone calls me, earlier I used to get a full screen picture id with two nice fat finger friendly buttons to accept or reject the call. With new slimline 3.0 i get 1/3 screen text notification kind of message. How can I get full screen picture id notification. i presume I have install some app. Can anyone help me find that cab.
2) when talking I would like the screen to be on so that I can do other things like (get to keyboard etc.) In opentouch 2.7 biggy, there was an option to keep the backlight on while on call. In 3.0 I couldn't find it. Maybe someone can help me find that setting or app.
Open touch is a great ROM. I can't wait till 4.0 !!

1) I'm assuming you were using S2U2, just reinstall it.
2) Sorry, I can't help you with that.. :-(
Never used 3.0 and am now using MV-Rom 4.2..hehe

Thanks for pointing that out.
yes biggy version had S2U2. However I am not too big fan of the sliding. Maybe I have to live without full screen caller id.
I am still looking for disabling the screen-off during call

You can still use the Full screen caller id and disable screen off during call without using the slide to unlock feature. just uncheck slide to unlock in S2U2 settings

VibeTonz (vibrate on screen tap) like app for WM??

i've been searching for an application that can make my phone vibrate on screen taps. i would try to use this instead of sound on screen tap because it looks like a good idea. so i'm very interested in this kind of app and i hope i'm not the only one.
during my search i found something called VibeTonz, but this does not come as a program, it is a feature built in some devices.
here on xda i found some threads about dialpad vibration and this thing works, so i think it would be possible to create something that would make phone vibrate on any screen tap.
P.S.: sorry for my bad english. hope you could at least understand what i'm talking about
yeah it would be cool to see something like this, the dial pad vib program is freaking sweet.
hmm.. yeaa that would be kinda cool. btw.. ur english is perfect
you mean something like this:
Phone pad vibrate when tapping numbers?
as i mentioned above, there is a cab like this on xda forums, but it only works for dialpad. what i need is something that could make the phone to vibrate on ANY screen tap. what i don't like about dialpad vibrate cab is that it makes the phone vibrate just as long as you keep dialpad number pressed,so if you just tap the number too fast there is no vibe or it is too short and so it's not suitable for fast typing. the thing that i would like to see would vibrate for fixed time (let's say 100ms) on any screen tap (including dialpad tap). i think this kind of touch screen response would make the use of it much easier and faster. but i can't know that because i didn't try this.
maybe if someone has a VibeTonz enabled phone could tell as about experiences with this kind of response?
anyway, thanks for your efforts and i'm glad to see there are some people supporting this thread and some interested in this.
I am searching for this app to, it would give great fingerpushing feedback. It will feel like pushing "real" buttons on your screen
About the vibrating dialpad: i thought i read somewhere that you can alter it so that it will vibrate instantly.
I second that!
I'd love this kind of app. My kaiser has particularly flat keys on the keyboard and there's no travel to them. So I stumbled across the dialer vibrate cab while looking for a solution. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to mod that cab's registry entries to make it vibrate on any keypress, such as while typing... but so far no luck. A touchscreen vibrate cab would be awesome too. I think any program that is possibly developed should include settings for both the touchscreen and the keyboard.
Someone with a little spare time want to work on these ideas? Pretty please?
Bump!
I didn't have time to try this, but if you are interested here is the link:

Winterface & FunContacts & Zoomboard

You have to try those to believe how good the Winterface application is. I saw the review on Tiltsite.com today, downloaded it and immediately loved it. It is extremely finger friendly, the interface is very intuitive and beautifully designed. It also uses minimum amount of system resource thus is very efficient.
http://iwindowsmobile.com/vito-mobile-shell.html
Their FunContacts is also a gem to have. Extremly finger friendly, smooth scrolling of the contact list like the iPhone. It absolutely replaces the old school "stylus-required" contact application included in WM6.1.
http://iwindowsmobile.com/contact-manager.html
I've also tried their Zoomboard application, I think it's a good concept, however there is room for improvement. It is still quite slow to type on the Zoomboard application. However the accuracy of the text is improved dramatically because of the zoomed in text let you see what you've pressed on the screen. But it still can't beat Kaiser/Tilt's excellent keyboard for typing.
http://iwindowsmobile.com/onscreen-keyboard.html
Enough said, I strongly encourage people to try it out. It will be a investment well spend. They also have a whole lot of other nicely designed applications on their webpage, check them out too.

seems like alot to spend on a couple of good apps that already exist freely...iContact, HTC album (for the photo thing) and even the (Samsung Glyde copy) button interface all exist free of charge. I'd have to see better to be convinced to put down $40 for 2 apps.
how do you install over an existing GUI... today screen , start menu, taskbar, etc???..
does it wipe them all out?
can you go back easily?
tahnx

Just some extra options for people to try, you don't lose money for trying it..

Do you know of any conflicts with this app? I have HHC installed right now.

You slide your finger in an arc to enable the interface from your home screen or anywhere else. You can click okay button and easily go back to normal interface if you choose to do so.
When phone is unlocked in Winterface, you can "slide to unlock" the phone with a touch of a finger.
I installed this over Garmin's DK1 WM6.1 cooked rom, so far everything works smooth as silk. Garmin's DK1 includes HTC Home v2.0.1812282.1 that I enabled in my home screen. This app run dependent of HTC Home plugin so there is no problems that I found.
In my opinion this app totally replaces HTC Home just because it is much more intuitive (it displays # of new message you got or # of missed calls you have and stuff like that). Couple finger movement after you can reach almost any application on the phone.
I don't work for this company or anything... Just think it's a really cool app to try.
And after couple hours of useage, here is a little short list of pros and rooms for improvement:
Pro -
Extremly finger friendly, smooth flow, elegant design layout.
Low memory useage, fast start up anywhere in the OS.
Very intuitive interface, texts under icons are extremely useful, compare to some other apps who only incorporated icons.
Love to be able to mix and match the apps I need and put them in order I want.
Room for improvement -
Slide to unlock button will disappear if a phone call caused the phone to lock itself, the phone would also lock itself unwanted after a phone call is in progress. It is annoying because when you want to press the keys on the screen, you find the phone locked with slide to unlock.
Contrast of the default icons are rather low (The whites are a bit above mid gray color)
Would be nice to flip from first page to last and then from last to first in one direction.
Would be nice to have option to display non-clear type fonts, my eye don't see well under clear type fonts.
Too bad SMS-Chat and FunContact have problem displaying typed text in landscape orientation in windows mobile 6.1 device (no problem in 6.0 though), or they would work great alone side Winterface.

so, how do i get that display of clock and slide to unlock?
edit :: wait, i get it.. this doesnt come w/anything else..
i like it -- really fast and nice to look at..
thanx..
Hmm,
I found quirks about the FunContact... Clear Type fonts used in that application will make all the typed in text display go blank when viewed in landscape mode... not recommended......

doesnt that always happen in landscape + clear type ?

I think it does, the system wouldn't even let me enable clear type on landscape mode... Maybe that's why all those apps that use cleartype in landscape mode would not display typed text properly

I personally LOVE the Zoomboard because of it's accuracy when typing one-handed (usually while driving). Obviously, I also prefer the regular hard keyboard, but we all know that's not always an option.
What free software that is similar to Zoomboard are you talking about?

[REQ][APP] Curtain onscreen only

Heya,
With the new Fuze rom update, I found that the s2a that is provided works perfectly, (just as great as Godzson's) but the problem is that they did not provide a curtain for when you answer a call and I find myself hanging up on ppl by accident. Is there a cab with just the curtain? I took a look around and s2a comes with the curtain but none without just the curtain.
Thanks!
you should be able to install the one with s2a as well and have no problem if i remember from when i first got s2a like 3 months ago....
Install one with a curtain. It'll just install over :| I forgot the registry key for the curtain, but it can be enabled. Dunno how though. Although you might want to look into a program called Touch InCall Screen Tweak.
i actually did installed the incall screen tweak... but that's for determining when to turn the screen on or off.... which is not what i'm looking for.
as to reinstalling s2a, i didn't want to do it because i didn't want the chance to cause compatibility issue later on.
I dont know if it's possible to have just the curtain cab.
will it be possible to find a registry key that will activate a curtain of sorts if it is built in? or would i have to find some way to obtain the curtain?
please? It would be really nice if anyone can show the way to activate this curtain (if it is already built in) or create a cab that installs only the curtain to avoid overwriting the rom's own s2a.
Phone lock Curtain
here you go.

thank you so much. I apprecaite it!
Glad I was not the only one looking for this particular item. Thanks for your effort.

Slide 2 answer Help Please?

Could someone tell me why this is doing this on incoming call and how I would fix it? Wow I posted an Image too but its not showing any way when someone calls it looks like it has the answer buttons and the slide to answer buttons at the same time its really distorted.
Hi, lets see if I understand you correctly.
1. The slide to answer is standard with the latest firmware.
2. The slider screen tends to look weird if you have some kind of non HTC-theme that changes the design of the TouchFlo system. I used to have the black dialer and that screwed up the slider screen bigtime.
Question??
yes I do have the blk dialer.No TF3D and no bloatware.
So is my only option is to live with the distortion if I want to keep the black dialer? Cause the dialer its self is fine.

Alternative phone dialer with slide to answer/ignore needed. X2 dialer too laggy.

I once saw a thread here, and I think it used the windows mobile slide to answer and slide to ignore.
The answer slider was green
The ignore slider was red, and u slide it horizontally.
If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.
I find X2 dialer way too laggy (I am using stock X2), and hard to find contacts. Even the the default WM skin is faster and better.
Anyway, it was a cab file that enabled that skin, and it also changed the keypad a bit better than WM dialer.
Thanks!

It's not from WM built-in but HTC. Search for blackstone, Topaz, or Rhodium dialer.

I just heard from someone that WM 6.5 has slide to answer, but hwo do I activate it?
To be honest, you cannot go wrong with this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154&highlight=dialer
I know you said there is a function in WM 6.5 which has the same thing...but I think this one is the best
The only thing I would love to see changed (and I know exists just can't find it), is the HTC dialer but when during a call has two buttons; a big button for key pad and a big button for end call...but still it's all good and am happy with this one
