useful apps I'd like to see running on my Diamond...
- using touch-sensing ring for up/down/left/right moves
- tilting left/right to switch Touch Flo 3D tabs and for back/forward in Opera browser
- shaking phone to set it on mute or vibrating profile
- haptic feedback when using virtual keyboards
- adjustable keypad light timeout
wouldn't it be nice?
nice ideas indeed ... contacts / albums / pictures / sms should also be scrollable leaning it forward, backward, to the right or left

Sorry if this is covered (tried search and didn't found much)
My question is: What is function of wheel under the screen??
Ok, I know that I can zoom in and zoom out but is that all?!?
Tnx
I guess you mean the cricle around the DPad.
It's actually a light sensitive wheel
You can use it to zoom in and out.
In some applications it's also used to scroll up and down a list.
Programs like Advanced Config and DiamondTweak allow you to change this behavior.
Last thing when the circle comes in handy is when you don't want the light of the device to turn off. Just place your finger on the DPad and the light will stay on for the amount of time set in your power settings.
its also used in the camera app to auto -focus.
is there any chance its moddable?, in music player you can use it to scroll the song but the startup delay is way to long, and its to fast/sensitive.
the same when viewing fotos etc

Love my Diamond - though prob not nearly as tweaked as most of you have em
One thing I just don't like is the "iphone" type scrolling - flicking the screen up/down continually drives me mad.
My previous phone MDA Compact III - with pointui Home UI had a great directional scrolling facility which scrolled the screen fluidly in the drection the stylus or finger pushed - Pushing up/down on the right hand side of the screen srolled the a-z index (similar to Touchflo 3d contacts screen) and pushing up/down anywhere else on the screen scrolled the screen in the same direction - speed varied on pressure of push used.
video might give a better idea of what I mean ...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na7k2JfbgG8
Anyone know if this is available for the diamond or maybe someone far more savvy than me can develop it
Why don't you just install PointUI again if you liked using it on your last phone?
I like tf3d .... would just prefer the pointui style scrolling
does anyone know how to disable the wheel scrolling on the diamond, its one of the most annoying features if all you want to do is scroll down or up and the wheel turns so far down or up you end up calling or missing the person you want to call.
Err .... what wheel scrolling?? Are you thinking of the scrolling ring around the outside of the central button? If so what are you trying to do with it, because in my phone it is not set up to scroll through contacts?
yeah the scroll ring, how do i disable it scrolling through contacts or any other action assigned to it
Dunno .... mine has never worked that way and according to the manual the scrolling ring is only used for zooming in or out in certain programmes (not the contact list) and not for scrolling up or down.
Are you sure you are not thinking of the up and down buttons that are above and below the button (not part of the scrolling ring). As far as I know that is the only way to move up and down on the buttons. Otherwise it is finger scrolling on the screen - which is what i use
It defiantly scrolls up and down, when i am using the phone, it only zooms in and out when i am in opera.
It really annoys me, because whenever i want to move up and down it will scroll up or down x10 as you move your finger around the ring.
to disable/enable:
simply download diamond tweak
19. Touch-sensitive Wheel
19.1 Disable
19.2 Disable
19.3 Disable
19.4 Disable
19.5 Disable
19.6 Disable
19.7 Disable
Easy...
do you have a url?
Just checked mine no ring scrolling here either stock telstra rom no tweeks....
I don't have the scrolling feature using the wheel. Does anyone know how can I enable the scrolling feature? Is there a cab where I can download for this feature? It's a cool feature for me.
As far as I know, GScroll will implement the scrolling features.
i have a touch pro (sorry if this doesn't belong here, but i assumed that they were basically the same) and whenever i go anywhere that has text input, the on-screen keyboard pops up and fills most of the screen, even when I have the inbuilt keyboard popped out.
Is there any way I can get it to stay hidden until I press the show/hide button?
There's a setting in Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool that fixes this.
Unfortunately it doesn't work in Opera due to Opera's bad handling of the keyboard. If you have problems with the SIP popping up in opera in landscape, install nullkb and look for an application that allows you to set different SIPs in portrait and landscape.
Cheers for the quick reply, I'll give these a go.
I use WMP to play music...I sometimes connect it to my car's audio system to listen to music...
is there any way that I can use gestures to change tracks? maybe by moving my finger a certain way over the capacitive area? it would feel much safer than scrolling to the "music" tab in CHome and changing the song (I'm using 6.5)
I believe that this feature is already implemented :
Try moving your finger from right to left when the album cover is displayed, it'll play the next track of your playlist.
edit : 'left to right' on the screen
thanks, I'll try that
is there any way to remap the volume buttons for this purpose as well?
