Samsung Instinct Call Answer - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I can't find video of it, but if anyone has played with the Samsung Instinct, when an incoming call comes in, you slide up to answer, down to deny. It's pretty nice looking.
Just wondering if there is something like this, or if someone could develop a copy of it. I know there is Slide 2 Answer on S2U2, but it's not very similar and (to my knowledge) you have to have S2U activated to use this, or else it will just have buttons.
I know I'm not supposed to post a new thread if I'm not contributing, but I've seen people get away with it and I searched everywhere for this. My apologies in advance.

That is a good solution indeed. It would solve the problem of accidentally accepting calls while pulling the phone out of your pocket. It's very hard to implement on the Diamond though, because you can't mess with the phone app much.

Found the video...
It's at 5:30 of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhzpTS7CpfU

it looks like a nice feature and with some skins could look pretty nice and cleaned up given all the talent on xda
it would be interesting to see something like this develop probably as an add on to s2u2 like the s2u2-vc

Yes, thanks for the agreement.

next version of Sunscape could include this way of answer or deny a call.

That'd be sweet. I hope someone takes interest in this idea.

Gotta co-sign that. If that ever got implemented into s2u2, it'd be a wrap. Best app ever.

Agreed! Even without s2u2.

bump? z

Last bump, doesn't anyone else like this?

It's definitely a great idea. Just have to wait until one of the great developers here want to take on the task.

Deepfish or Picsel? why aren't they released yet?

why cant they release these for the wm6 platform yet? its been over 6 monyhs and i would love to be able to view the browser like i want
ive used picsel on my mogul (wasnt fond of it so i went back to opera)
does opera allow full page viewing then zooming in? whered you get picsel? i cant find it
Here! Its under reply #27, i mean 28
Picsel isn't released as a commercial app - it's an app they allow OEMs to build into a rom. However, we have got it to work on most phones. Works fine on WM5 and WM6 for me.

Right. YOUR mogul, the way YOU want it.
While abusing the forum is effective for you, it also rather selfish to be polluting it for everyone else.
Sorry for the snyde comments, but if everyone treated this the way you do, this forum wouldn't survive anymore.

I couldn't agree more. In case the OP doesn't understand why we are coming down on him/her, let's reiterate the original question:
Deepfish or Picsel? why aren't they released yet?
why cant they release these for the wm6 platform yet? its been over 6 monyhs and i would love to be able to view the browser like i want

A. What makes you think any of us works for Microsoft or Picsel?
B. "Why aren't they released yet?"
Good question! Why don't you contribute by emailing the companies yourself and letting us know the answer. Oh... you probably wanted one of us to do it?
C. "why cant they release these for the wm6 platform yet?"
Another Good question! Suppose the only person who can answer that is the Product Manager for those applications. He probably won't answer though... because he's too busy trying to get them released!
D. "its been over 6 monyhs and i would love to be able to view the browser like i want"
We've all talked it over and decided this is a serious issue. So either we can freeze the Internet until things are like you want... or you can buy an iPhone.
Hope that helps!
boo boo needs a lot of hand holding, that is all. maybe he or she is very young. I too, have had some issues with Picsel, but I kept digging and digging, and eventually came across it, and that actually felt pretty rewarding. boo boo just wants us to do all the work for him/her, and he or she can reap all the benefits. look a little further, and you can pretty much find anything. your original post does make you look and feel a bit immature, like a whiny little baby, no offense. but I guess you got what you wanted. Now if you can contact Microsoft on the forum's behalf, that'd be great!
Also, some folks haven't done their research or are ignoring a very significant fact: The version of Picsel that is floating around the Internet was never meant to be released to run on just any phone out there. It was lifted from a Samsung ROM. In fact, Picsel lawyers have been contacting websites that have been hosting these files to take them down immediately.
So if the app doesn't run optimally on your particular device, not much you can do about it until Picsel decides to release it to the general public at large or strikes a deal with another OEM.
you guys need to get laid more often or stop beating your wives..you guys sound like a bunch of sissys
I agree, you guys are a bunch of asses, you couldnt simply answer the guys question? you had to be douches about it? the forum is here to help fellow mogul users, not insult them. if you have a problem with multiple threads then simply point the user to a thread that is already open and request that this thread be deleted.

S2u2 ADD ON?

I noticed a thread by t the guy who posted "Must See", & while I think he's a blithering idiot, this thread interested me. Why hasent anyone tried developing a snazzy loooking extra functional in call/call waiting program with expandable options ? S2u2 CID could be a nice start seeing as its on almost every ppc...
Functionalllll Ity!!!!!!
Have you you never seen how functional iPhones call waiting features are? The ease of access! This would be a breeze for some of you, why the lack of interest?

serious effort for WM6 on iphone

serious effort for WM6 on iphone
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hello all!
i was recently gifted an first generation iphone, i hacked it and unlocked it and played around with it. i was not very impressed, the hardware is awsome but the software, i find to be lacking.
at any rate it has sat in a desk drawer for a month or 2 and then i read about that faked video with wm6 on an iphone. i thought to my self why not give it a try? its not like i will be able to buy that touch hd from htc that i wanted...
so i have been doing some research and it looks like there is an arm processor in this thing, which gives me hope. i plan to use a few open source utilities such as ibooter to get an environment on this thing for wm6.
i am wondering what advice people can give me, who have hacked newer versions of WM onto an older device, what to research, what to expect or useful utilities; i have little experience with the bowels of WM.
this will be my first attempt at something this grandiose, but i have surmounted greater challenges in the past. i am not asking for help, however i am more than willing to work with anyone else who is interested.
please keep non-constructive criticisms to yourself, if people didn't try things every time there was doubt we would still be living in caves.
thanks

Good luck! I've got to say the iPhone would be WAY more appealing to me if it ran Windows Mobile. If I were you I'd maybe try and contact some of the ROM cookers in the older device threads like the Blue Angel forum.

Hey STFU!
im guessing that there is no one here that actualy does anything more than just develop applications for WM or troll arround the fourms?
like i said im looking for peoples who have worked with the os itself.
anyone...

I saw somewhere that a Norwegian hacker did it some time ago, it is quite sad, but it is sexy to see WM running on wide screen

I saw it too in some other place.. that's amazing!
I just saw the video...that was cool. Looks like you got your answer there ashrond.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but that video is fake,look at the very begining he manages to turn his i-phone on by just tapping on the screen. sadly it's propably just some kind of slideshow presentatio. too bad would have been nice.
Doh!!!!!
Stupid Fake Video!
Threads like this makes me sad, users making threads on this subject to be taken serious and fail to provide any type of commitment to achieve any goal to this subject. what im trying to say simply is... let the god damn roms chefs make threads like this and not the "omg i need WM6, on a toyphone"... i wanted wm6 so i got a phone with wm6 on it. not a god damn phone with ipod crap on it.

ps thats the video that i was talking about being fake and giving me the idea to attempt this.
Well if ure serious about this, u could get a piece of advice from users such xplode, mamaich, bepe, tuatara and many many others (speaking as Blue Angel user).
Also, u might rather look in some iphone hacking forum. Furthermore, mind that iphone is quite a closed platform, so it doesnt have any documentation, besides some rev-eng done.
Anyway, there is little chance u will achieve this, and the amount work what is in front of you is more than u might expect. No man could do it alone, in one life.
Srsly, only way to do it, is to steal iphone blueprints form apple, and u will......
w8, didnt u say ur name is Bond?
People may flame you because they are 'die hard' WM fans, and anti-mac or w/e, but I must say that I wish you the best! If somebody were to do this, I would probably end up getting an iPhone. The only thing is, I don't like not having a QWERTY keyboard.
I most likely will have a WM phone for the remainder of my life / cell phone using (unless something really awesome comes out), but I love how smooth and 'error free' the iPhone is. It's just not for me w/ the current OS because you can't easily expand the iPhone as easily as you can a WM phone.
Dear dip****,
Clearly your lack of understanding about the real related undertaking about what you asking is beyond your grasp. its like hopping on a BBS and asking for some guidance on how to do heart surgery, sounds simple... open the chest cavity and do some poking. its not as simple as just droping an app, if it were that simple as to dropping ibooter... then all the 100x groups would have already done it and taken credit for it. i really wish scrubs like you never used the internet, clearly your terrible propaganda on trying to make people believe you would be elite enough to carry such under taking. as i reflect...
ROFL "ibooter to get an environment on this thing for wm6." while you are at it, try using a bios disk to start up the MAC OS on your computer...
you have no ****ing clue what your even up against... at least i am a hardware hacker. what the **** have you done other then post. "i has a dream for WM6 on ipod" thread? Ill learn to read if you learn to stop being a dip****.
Love Smokey

Unless it absolutely cannot be done and it is proven that it cannot be done, why not let people keep on trying. Let them learn what they need to learn to give it a valid attempt. It would be a really intersting to see done; however, I fear that there may be some legal iussues if you are flashing WM to an IPhone - You will have to ensure that you are using a legal registered copy of WM wouldn't you? When we are flashing our current devices we already have WM on them so it is kind of a grey area since we already paid for WM however, putting WM on an IPhone which never had WM????? I don't know.
I say keep searching for your answers though until you can prove or find proof that it cannot be done. GOOD LUCK with your efforts. It may be an incredibly difficult thing to do, or who knows - Maybe it won't be that difficult if you have some kind of breakthrough.
I really can't stand it when people start assuming that they know other people and their "Qualifications" when they don't know a thing about them really. None of us really know anything about each other except for what we may publish in our profiles. Gotta have some faith in people sometimes and stop making assumptions.
Closed this thread.
This is getting out of hand!
The ONLY way to port WM6 is by writing new drivers for the iPhone.
It's not impossible, but it is a monstrous task.
A new thread is only allowed when serious steps are taken regarding (re)writing the drivers.
(So do some investigating on platform-builder!)

Change Slider Size in S2U2?

I'm wondering if anyone's had any luck changing the slider size in S2U2? Seeing the iPhone, it has a MUCH bigger slider, which is easier to grab (I often find myself unsucessfully trying to grab the slider). On the HTC TP2, anyway, it looks tiny.
I saw the thread about S2U2 customization (XDA won't let me post the link), but after going through about 20 of the 721 pages of posts (and some extensive searching) it seems like no one's done this yet (or I'm bad at searching).
Any thoughts? I should maybe contact A_C, but wanted to see if any of the smart folks here has an idea first. It's an amazing program, that's my only gripe.
you can try this
it had a same problem. but then i realize that i have a wrong version of s2u2. I recently download the good one that is v2.34 released on 28th march. Make sure you download VGA-WVGA version. and now its perfect. hope it will help
It's better than the windows media slider, omg that one's a pain. What are they thinking making it so small; not much better on the PC even.

HD2 Contact thumbnail resolution/quality

Hi
is there any way to improve contact photo quality?
I can set up a photo to contact and it is ok.
But if i will call this person, then im seeing a very poor picture, bad quality and so on. Am i able to do sth about it?
Because when i will select "People Tab" then im also seeing pictures, and they are OK.
Thanks in advance.
x 1 for that request.
Same here, I've been trying some registry tweaks to improve this but no luck so far.

+1. Thought there would be a simple registry tweak for this but havent found one. I searched pretty throughly for the keywords on here as well. No dice. It does make the pictures, particularly facebook pictures, look extremely grainy when shown in the call menu.
Good luck to whoever takes this on.

one great tip there
Hey,
I was tipped onto this by dzukela.
I would love to try to help. It seems to be a really simple app I could make.
There is but ONE issue.
I have been working of my FFP_LockScreen application (v2.0, C++ core) for over 2 months now. It is a real hassle to develop for phones I don't have. I have an HTC Excalibur. Non-touch, slow, etc. FFP_LS was a great challenge because errors I got on my phone were non-existant on WinMoPro, and vice versa. It really got me fed up.
I would love to do this, but it may require time, because I can't physically be there and see any issues that may occur.
Unforuntately, also, I have a list of 6 apps, which is growing. And my priorities are set on apps that I have had the ideas for, which I think will benefit the community a great deal.
The following statement is in no way a plea, or a way to make money, or anything, but as it has been since my first day of Development here, if you want your priority pushed up, try Donating...If there is money on the line for an app, I am not going to take the money and walk, I will come thru on the commitment. (Donation link in my Signature).
But yeah, making this app would help me learn POOM, and would help you guys, so just know it has made my list.
