yeah! I have ideas for games but unfortunatly not the possibilities to write the soft
Read this article for more information about the SDK:
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/7477.html
Let's try this in VB.net, as soon as I manage to get it to work I will try to write some games (don't know if I can but I will try )
I hope someone can create some kind of calibrating tool, mine needs to be calibrated really bad.
I'm still working on a new app which uses the sensor, but it'll takes a bit time, until i can release it.
Until i released it, i don't tell you what app it is

I'm really wait for your good try. Keep it on.
ahaa.. godd news. v all r waiting.
This really does allow developers to start making some killer apps for our diamon. Carnt wait to see what pops up over the next few weeks!!
Hi I've a idea is:
1) When shake on vertical (UP => Down => UP) then LOCK the phone
2) When shake on horizontal (LEFT => RIGHT => LEFT) then UNLOCK the phone
I think this is so cool when you use the phone ^_^
So, here is my app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406769
@Wolfblood: I can do this, if i have time, because it is not so different than my new app. Instead of changing the profile, i would change the lock status.

Maybe there could be a sticky thread with links to the apps which make use of the g-sensor?
I am about to develop a very, very simple spirit-level app for teh diamond just to get used to the sensor api for C# http://blog.enterprisemobile.com/2008/07/using-htc-diamonds-sensor-sdk-from-managed-code/
btw: is there any information on other apis as for instance to the vibration, the camera etc.? i couldn't find anything for the touch diamond
edit: teh simple spirit level test can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2389529&posted=1#post2389529

Nice nice, looking forward.
What about an app that answers a phone call with a shake? i belive they had it on the Nokia n95 if im not mistaken.
Good luck dude!!
what about a shake to wake up from standby ?
Did anyone managed to get this to work in VB.NET instead of C#? I know VB.NET but not C#...

That feature was on the Athena .. VueFlo I think it was called
Would be pretty sweet indeed.
One question though .. if we had more than one app making use of the tilt sensor, so say Gsen and the Profile switcher (haven't tried the latter yet, sounds great though), would they both work together?
Very nice very nice, the idea by Mr. Stesa, ill like my diamond to wake and .... !
peace.
Can somebody post a "Hello World" package with the included dll for VisualStudio 2005?
Tilt Sensor Calibration
I think a VERY usefull application will be a sensor calibration app, may Diamonds including mine, have sensor declination.
You can test it laying diamond without backcover in a flat table, you can se if Teeter ball´s stay without moving or it´s going to anyway, in my case, it going down and to the left.
I Don´t know if this calibratión can be stored in registry and make it permanent, but this would be great. Calibration app only have to ask user to put diamond in really flat an leveled surface to make the work.
Thanks for this great stuff.

Hi Sushilange,
Thanks for you hear my voice ^_^
Today I've think more what can we do on Diamond. Then I think maybe we can add function key + shake to do more. Like:
1) Hold Down the Vol Down Key + shake horizontal = Play Next Music/SMS/Email/Photo
2) Hold Down the Vol Up Key + shake horizontal = Play Previous Music/SMS/Email/Photo
3) Hold Down the Action Key [The Round Button] + shake to Right = Move the TouchFLO3D Tab to Next Right Tap
4) Hold Down the Action Key [The Round Button] + shake to Left = Move the TouchFLO3D Tab to Next Left Tap
5) Hold Down the End Key + shake = Close all application
6) Hold Down the Phone Key + shake = Open the Contacts
7) Hold Down the Back Key [←] + shake = Switch to Next Running application
8) Hold Down the Home Key + shake = Open your favorite application
9) Hold Down the Power Key + shake = Turn the LCD in WHITE and MAX the Backlight, So Diamond become a supper flashlight!
10) When not press any key + Rotation = Auto-Rotation just like GSen
See the Diamond can do a lot of things and iPhone can go back to home
Maybe if can open those setting for user then they can custom the action what they need will be best for all people ^o^
Sushilange, You are very cool and you creating a very cool tools too ^o^
Shake to Wake UP
I'm one of you guys waiting to see any app that will wake the device up from stand by just by shaking it. If anyone has any info please share it. Thank you.
Hi
Just got my diamond a month ago but not sure how to may the clock display on the home screen like the one I see advertise on the HTC website, I get just a normal time display eg. 1:56pm
thanks
Between the Call History and the Clock.. you SHOULD be able to see a small arrow head.
Use your thumb / finger to swipe down
That should give you the BIG clock
Thanks for the info.
While tinkering with google map's I noticed that the screen seems to respons to 2 seperate points? give it a try for yourself. I used my finger to move side to side and the pointer to move up and down, this worked together and independantly on my phone. If this is the case can we see software to support this function such as image resize and so on?????
P.S. a couple of other things to try.....
Hold volume up button and press the action button (this brings up the screen calibation)
I think this has been mentioned before but there is a easteregg in the weather screen
If you tap on the dark bar that says weather near the side Left then Right it run's a demo of the various animations.
I don't think it's multi touch, it just finds the mean of the two points you press. It's the same if you use two fingers in some touch pads at laptops. Try this and you may understand what I'm talking about. Start google maps and touch the left part of the screen. While keeping your finger down, touch the right part and see when happens. With both fingers down, release the left finger and see what happens. This is due to the way the touch screen works, but it's definitely not multitouch.
Good tips for the screen calibration and the animations demo (although it doesn't show all animations - I didn't see the fog animation )
I really enjoy this forum since it helps me a lot to increase the productivity with my HTC Touch Pro. I found many useful applications. Unfortunately, after installing a large number of them, I run into the infamous 32 processes limit of Windows Mobile. So I decided to write my own app that combines all the features that I find useful. It is implemented as a Pocket PC service, so it does not require an own process.
Here are the features:
- Better vibration for incoming calls. I found the built-in vibration function very annoying as it vibrates permanently during an incoming call. This extensions vibrates in pulses of 300 ms with a pause of one second when a call is incoming
- SIP changer depending on stylus state. If stylus is out, another soft input panel is selected as if stylus is in. Can be changed via the registry keys StylusInSIP and StylusOutSIP.
- Stroke Launcher. If the finger is stroked from one button to another, an application is launched.Four directions are possible: From home button to accept phone call button and vice versa as well as from back button to reject phone call button and vice versa. The applications can be configured via the RightUpApp, RightDownApp, LeftUpApp and LeftDownApp registry keys. The required length of the stroke can be configured via the GestureMinLen registry key. Unfortunately, the program has to poll HTC's NAV sensor directly in order to not disturb the functionality of the wheel sensor. The sleep time between two polls can be configured with the GesturePollingDelay (in ms). If you use very fast strokes and the device does not react, try to decrease this value.
- Key lock if device is face down. The key lock is activated and the device is powered off if it is turned face down. The key locked is acknowledged by two short vibrations. Key lock can be disabled depending on the foreground window or active process list. Exclude list can be specified via the ExcludedProcesses and ExcludedWindows registry keys. The tolerance for the face down detection can be configured via the FacedownTolerance registry key.
The registry settings for Buttler are stored in HKLM\Software\Butler. Each extension described above can be switched of by setting the EnableFeature registry key to 0.
As I have not much time to react on bugs or feature requests, I have also attached the source code. Fell free to modify my Butler but please publish it here so that we all can benefit from it.
The Butler service is started with the program "StartButler.exe" located in the Windows directory. I call it from a MortScript during device boot. It is important that HTC Touch Flo 3D is already loaded. For some reason, the gsensors can not be initialized if Touch Flo 3D is not loaded. Here is the code I use:
# Wait for TouchFlo3D
While(ProcExists("manila.exe")=0)
Sleep(1000)
EndWhile
# Start the butler
Run("\Windows\StartButler.exe")
Have fun!
Siggie
Change log:
V1.0:
- Initial release
V1.1:
- Reading of the NAV sensor completely rewritten. The sensor is now directly polled. This does not interfere with other programs, so the wheel sensor and the camera is working again.
- EnableFeature registry keys added for switching off each extension individually.

sounds like an excellent program, I'll try it
man, great app. it is totally replacing hbutton, and lets me start using voice commander again. two questions....can you list the other sip layout entries? i really want to use the full qwerty when the stylus is out and in. secondly, is there a way to define a diff lock such as s2u2 and then shut down. either way, the function is fine as is and really, thanks for sharing
I'm interest in Stroke Launcher more than the other apps. is there a chance you can provide a cab for just that portion of your application> I know it's contrary to your original intent (of combining apps) but that's the only one of those apps I really would want so I have the opposite- no desire to install any extra apps even if it's a single process Thanks.
about to give it a shot, sounds great
but i second the request to have s2u2 when put face down
noticed that if you delete the entries for sip, keeping the actual keys though. butler wont start. guess it still needs to check those values i was trying to get it to do nothing to my sip's and just keep full qwerty.
edit** here is the key for full qwerty {36BC8FF6-8241-4c36-ABDE-204885471FEE} and the other keys are all listed under HKCR/CLSID and look like this:
(HTC SIPs)
{198D503A-...} = Phone Keypad
{36BC8FF6-...} = Full QWERTY
{62B00599-...} = Compact QWERTY
(MS Default SIPs)
{42429667-...} = Keyboard
{42429690-...} = Letter Recognizer
{42429691-...} = Block Recognizer
{F0034DD0-...} = Transcriber
Maybe it would be easier to be able to just input the name
Sound great, I'll give it a try as well.
can you make it so that when it face down, the light turn off?
ok i figured out how to change what sip came when
and i turned off "facedown"
only problem is that the smart scroll such as zooming in opera and pics no longer works or autofocus in camera
Great app cannot go unrecognized!
so i downloaded and installed and forgot to make shortcut. A day after i just luanch it using fileexplorer with copy on storage card. Sounds like alot but considering i only reset once a week maybe... its not so bad.
After using it for a half day. I have to admit i was waiting for a way to use shortcuts with out using manilla. I am a RLtoday fan and i dont really use all of manilla features. I LOVE IT. I am considering removing Manilla all together. This has great potential for those of use that want alternatives to manilla.
This should really be placed in essentials.
Thank you.
**BTW cant get screen lock disabled, anyone have more detailed instructions for disabling face down lock?
to disable the lock i set the sensor threshold to 0
in the registry path that was said earlier in the thread
V1.1 available
I have added a new version that fixes the wheel sensor and camera problem. There are also now registry keys available to switch off each feature individually.
ok I dont know what happend but i installed this app and after a restart the keyboard pops up on the splash screen and the phone freezes.. I need a resolution fast. I really dotn want to hard reset. I have a lot of stuff i need back up.... Please help!!!
fuk it. had to hard reset.
any chance on just releasing stroke launcher as a standalone app so we don't need to install all and then disable them? Thanks
Exclude S2U2
How can I disable stroke launcher, when s2u2 is active? I tried to add S2U2(name of DWORD value=0) to ExcludedWindows and s2u2.exe to ExcludedProcesses, but stroke launcher is still active, any ideas?
Great App siggie1970,
Thanks .. I Think The most important thing to do now is to add a User Interface for the configuration..as it kinda hard to do it through the registry
thanks
Wow amazing programs are being released and 09 just started. Great name btw How are resources being used with this program? Since your combining apps perhaps you could work with the guy to incorporate his new alternative to gyrator/ screen tilt app.

that is not the purpose of the program
would it be possible to turn one of the sides into scrolling up and down?
like leave the left up and down for app launching but right side scrolling that would make it pretty much perfect for me
then of course a configurator, although i got it setup but no fun having to change on each new install
It sounds like a great program, thanks! Stroke Launcher, I like that one LOL

Will this theme work with the newest 1.19 version of TL?
i'm running it on 1.1.10

Ok i will try it with 1.1.19 and report if it works.
Ok, first report:
The taskbar looks not very good, see screen shot of the home page.
The programs page is very hard to scroll, it overshoots always and one has to scroll up and down to get to the program. One can only scroll over the program tabs and also to stop scrolling, so it is very often the case that a program is unwanted launched. It would be better if there was the possibility to scroll on the side of the program tabs.
On the other pages the regular windows taskbar is shown.
That is all for the moment... i am still playing with it. I love the look of this theme, really. Thanks for this.
thanks for the fb - the artifacts could be a result of the rom you are using. i have had that appear once or twice since upgrading to 6.5 but it does tend to disappear?

Yes you were right, it has disappeared now.
I sense a bigger battery drain, but i am not sure if it is due to TL itself.
Also i think the sliding from one page to the next or the opening of a page through the buttons could be a bit faster.
Otherwise this theme just rocks.
Are you DaceC?
This theme is amazing and your best work, I tested on my Imagio and it works very good.
I always recommend to use Standalone mode with TL instead of plugin today, it works better.
congratulations!!
Yes I am DaveC ironically I hadn't intended to get so involved with TL when I registered so decided to use mix up my name. Now im stuck with two names.
I have never actually tried standalone mode - will have to give it a go.
While I am not personally a fan of the theme style, I must say that I am impressed. Very good job sir. Keep it up!

If you are using stanalone mode, just delete the "Background" path if you have one.

you have to go into the subsystems and hailing freqencies and set to vibrate or sound off at the moment.
i could probably add a switch to the config file that will mute the theme sounds but not the phone sounds for 1.1

If you are running as a today page try in standalone.
What device resolution are you using? i think for thr W version I could space the icons out a little more but in the mean time you can press and hold to scroll up or down in blocks without it actually selecting the item you have pressed.

I have the same device as you Omnia i900, WQVGA.
Ok scrolling like that works better.
I have seen that sometimes i have to restart TL as it becomes sluggish and unresponsive.
Will try to use as standalone, i only need to see how to exit TL programatically, as i use a switcher to switch between Titanium, TouchFLO, MobileShell and TL.
that must make for a huge memory overhead
