In case no one knew, you can use the touch screen on the recovery console. the edges, top, bottom, left, right, move the curser. The center selects, not sure if this is common knowledge but i found it very cool and wanted to share.

i will go try this out right now!
Isn't that neat?
Thanks for bringing it back to people's attention, *I* thought it was a cool idea, which is why I wrote it in the first place a few months back
For some reason most people didn't much care...
Okay, I didn't just do it because it was a neat idea... it was also done to support phones that don't have a dpad or don't have a working dpad (topaz et al), although they're not using it either.

Don't drink the kool aid, man - i always use touches in the installer instead of the dpad in your honor. nice seeing you back in the neighborhood... slumming it, as it were?

I have been trying several roms and sometimes the special keys like @#*%@# are ****ed up but the att tilt keyboard cab fixes that. My problem is the ok button on the keyboard between windows key and tab. When it hit it, it just takes me back to my today page instead of selecting what I have highlighted. Any ideas? Thx for ur time.
the ok key sends you back to the today screen either by closing the app or minimizing it. it doesnt select. that's not what its for and probably why it doesnt work the way you wanted. to select your highlighted items you should press the enter/return key which is located between the del and wifi key.
if your keys are still "****ed up" and you have already tried the tilt keyboard patch...did you soft reset after applying it?

He said he applied it and this was fixed. He was asking about the OK key, and NguyenHuu's answer was the good one. The OK key does the same as tapping the X in the top right corner of the screen, i.e minimize or close depending on the app.

NguyenHuu did give you the answer. My keyboard does exactly what your's does. "OK" doesn't really seem to be an appropriate label for this key.

Therewas nothing rude on your post. I think she must be used to such comments. This is the first thing with which a girl must live.
Keep misplacing the stylus because you can't be bothered putting it back into the device when not using it for short periods?
Well, no longer! Simply place the stylus along the top edge of the device - the magnet inside will keep it put!

This tip doesnt work on my Diamond with rom version 1.93. Do you think my ROM is missing the software to enable the magnet in my Diamond?
Is there anyway to update my magnet to version 2?
Hehe!
cool tip thx

Hmm... yes, it certainly sounds like you're missing something.
I think the process known as 'cooking your own ROM' may help. I'm not too familiar with it myself but try popping your Diamond into the oven - 200°C for 25 minutes should sort it one way or another. Indeed if you lay the stylus on the upper part of the device beforehand you should find it sticks nicely.
Let us know how it turns out!
Mathew
want to make some $?
develop a tracking program of the stylus. this software should detect the magnetic field of the stylus from at least 10 m or integrate the GPS unit (without the usual lag) so we should be able to pinpoint the stylus position.
waiting for the first prerelease and the usual "donate" link.

I tried 'cooking my own rom' but ive ended up with a complete mess, its burnt to smithereens!
But it now looks like a walkie talkie with the stylus burnt on it! I think I may of put the stylus too high up so it sticks out. Not to worry, retro it is. hehe!

Do you think the casino chips I would throw you would count for the mental institute that we all must go?
Well it looks like the touchscreen on my Kaiser/Tilt has stopped working. I was removing the back cover ( I really don't like the design ) and think I flexed something. Nothing is broken that can be seen but the unit won't accept any input on the screen although the rest of the phone is fine. So anyway what I'm looking for is any kind of disassembly instructions. I've looked around and haven't found any yet. Any help is welcome.

Arrow keys on swype? and i just find out now????
yeah i found that week one of owning the phone.
without the text selection methods in the later updates and a lack of laser mouse it really needed it. it hasnt been talked about since the updates that gave that little pointer for the cursor
Thank you! Accessed this once but could never figure out how I did it. Now if only there was an easier way to access the hyphen...
So that's how ya do it! Lol. I love swype even more now. Lol.
use the thanks button....

Agreed, with the new cursor functions I don't really see the need for it. Though it is nice to know it's there, something else to toy with.
Awesome, thanks for the tip! So much more convenient than trying to drag the cursor arrow around
Son of a... Had no idea that was there
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I had seen the images in the .apk, but I never knew how to get there.
i saw pics on the new theme thread on the portal and googled it..
imagine that google....

Just sitting around poking at circuits yesterday and this is something that I choked out of the phone.... Every thing seems to work fine but This is my first and I did cherry pick some..... so love it or hate it makes no difference... its free what more can I say [emoji14]
so here you fine people go..... let me know if you love it or hate it..... or just lurk in the shadows you cant hurt my feelings no wrong answers
https://mega.nz/#!pxQwQb7J!Yoi-brGIZBSnUUmZ-3Ou6yoyLm2O4x7U-ED_ShfdPF8 standard
https://mega.nz/#!I8A3DJzZ!ayvl-8L-qbKTdPjyNk-m8Ng_UgjVNuZNBn0dRJYhCrg multi-rom
Also I'm pretty sure it is device specific soooo Nexus 6p only
main button base images curiosity of franzyroy
I wouldn't say I like it, being truthful here. But it's a good start. Go for the top bar first, and try to match it with overall colours, it would be good then. Later you can work on the details.

Try some Material colors,
The other day, I was looking at some color combinations for my website. You might find it useful - http://www.dtelepathy.com/blog/inspiration/beautiful-color-palettes-for-your-next-web-project
It will give you a good hint,or you could just pick one. :good:
Maybe on the multi-boot one I want to take a shot at also... this one I'm just toying with for the most part
