[App Needed] Gesture Control - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

As seen on Sony Ericsson W380 Gesture control
"Another novel feature of the W380 is its gesture control. Switch this feature on and you will be able to silence incoming calls or snooze alarm clocks by simply passing the palm of your hand above the sensor"
Well maybe this is a long shot but anyone has any idea if a program like that exists on WinMo?

Well as far as I see Sony made this Feature with help of a proximity-sensor and the only Phone/PDA I know which has one is the TouchPro 2
But there are a lot of Apps which let you silence Calls (built-in in most htc devices) and let you snooze alarm clocks by shaking or turning the Phones, also they let you unlock your Device and soooo much more funny things =)
give it a shot

yeah, but without touching the device? i guess if there is an app that enables camera when phone rings this thing can be done

Well you're free to try but i don't think you're chances of success are high
good luck

you can execute camera app with mortscript on the incoming call i think.

i think the i900 has proximity sensor......

sorry it doesnt.......

i8000 Omnia2 has it!

yup thats right..........

does it have it as a device you mean or does it work as an application?

...
think best/easiest way on HD wouldbe light sensor on top.
So on incoming call it should check if there is a short light-interruption.
Prob:
just works if phone shows face up on your desk
And won't work if room is dark (perhaps could work other way round - if it's too dark - check for short light notice, reflected by your hand from display)
otherwise is would be to hard and battery intensive cause you have to check both cameras (back and front) for changes.
I know silencing without touching it sound interesting but its a bit too playful for me.
Cause pressing vol down button is fastes way to silence.
Another way already included in some progs is turning phone face down to silence - think it's as stylish as waving to your phone.

FTouchSL has some screen based user definable gesture controls and is an extremely useful app, but no proximity controls.

so g-sensor can be used also. i think it's used by g-alarm on snooze, anyone seen it for silence also?

PocketShield

I ran across this, not exactly sure where, but it's sick man:
http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/
It should be perfectly compatible with the HD because it does indeed have an ambient light sensor and obviously an accelerometer.
Check out the videos:
http://pocketshield.netserver01.com/demo.aspx
It's pretty damn nice.
I think it will make a great add-on to a beautiful phone, it does cost $10.90, but as far as I can tell it's well worth it.
Give it look!
On the Touch HD you now have to slide to pick up the phone. So I really don't see why we should use this app. It will be handy for the Diamond or Pro.

But what about announcements? Fpr example SMS alert, notification alert etc.. Do you have to slide also to unlock the Device in those cases?
Hi!
I'm still struggeling to find the right way to lock the phone. The ideal solution would be to:
1) Have the phone unlocked when I switch it on with the Power button (so that I can immediately use it after deliberately turning it on)
2) Have the phone automatically locked when it wakes up due to a phone call, SMS or warning, etc. (so that I don't press anything by accident when it is in my pocket).
This seems to be the only really logical way to use device lock. Obviously, PocketShield can not do that, neither can S2Us or any other locking app I've tried...
Regards!
I had it installed, but removed it quite quickly again. For some reason, it did not suit me. I did not see any use of the lightsensor and shaking it to unlock was impossible...
All it added for me was a slide to unlock, for which there are other progs. It also replaceed the default slide to anwser, without enabling it myself...
I am sticking with the default lock or the s2u prog...

Version 2.5
A new version 2.5 with lots of improvements is available http://www.pocketshield.net/phorum/read.php?1,1224

(25 November 2008) Haptic Feedback 0.3.1 - LG KS20 support (hopefully)!

There are probably similar apps around, but I got bored and made my own!
Currently, there are no options. It's on, or it's off!
Download the cab from here, install it, and then run "Haptic Feedback" from the programs menu.
By default, it installs a shortcut to launch at startup, but if you don't like that, delete "\Windows\Startup\HapticFeedback.Startup.lnk".
If Haptic Feedback is already running, starting the link again will cause it to exit.
Notes:
No external frameworks are required - pure C++
Supports MoDaCo AppToDate
Coming whenever I have enough time to implement it:
Settings - lots!
A settings application
Some features I haven't yet thought about... Suggestions anyone?
Support for keyboard response
I can't be held responsible for any damage or loss caused directly or indirectly via use of this program, etc etc...
Change Log:
0.3.1 LG KS20 Support!
The "CustomLED" option allows for different LEDs to be set as the vibrate (default is 1. KS20 users should set it to 3)
0.3 Sound playback!
VibrateEnabled - enable vibration (1 is yes, 0 is no)
SoundEnabled - enable sound (1 is yes, 0 is no)
Sound - the full path to the sound file (only used if SoundEnabled = 1)
0.2 Settings! Stored under HKCU\Software\l3v5y\Haptic Feedback
HoldVibrate - keep vibration on until the screen is no longer down
HighTime - the time (in milliseconds) the vibration should be sustained
LowTime - the time (in milliseconds) the vibration should be held low
PollingInterval - the time (in milliseconds) between polls of the mouse state
0.1 Initial release
No point in a screenshot, as there is no form!
DISTRIBUTION OF THIS IN ANY FORM MAY RESULT IN VIOLENT DEATH CAUSED BY nir36, OR MYSELF - DON'T DO IT!
Feature Request
I know Heptic feedback is primarily designed to be vibrate response function but my suggestion is, Allow user setting to select both when Heptic feedback or audible feedback on or off for example only if SIP keyboard is enabled or in a specific program.
I really don't like the screen tap sound when used in general for all screen taps under winmo general settings but I would like the ability to have screen taps sound or vibrate feedback or both when I use my keyboard. So the ability to assign sounds or vibration independently of each other would be nice.

I wrote it mainly because I find it useful, and partly to test if I can get input from the device - I'm planning on creating a keyboard hook to launch my Dialer when the "call" button is pressed.

As of yet, no. Currently, the vibration motor is being controlled in the same way as LEDs, so it's either on or off... I'll look into an alternate method though.
It won't work on my LG-KS20 too. Just like the other pgm - Vibration Feedback.
this is nice little app

I think there is a way. Vibrations in Tweeter are very light, compared to the ones when there is a call or an alarm.
Excellent App, i will watch this development closely as its something id love. For the moment it feels like my Polaris is going to explode when i scroll Sometimes it also misses its "que"
But great work, very impressed.

Lock System better than S2U2

Hell yeah, S2U2 is cool, because it's as an iPhone, but it's laggy and it cost too much battery even HTC closed...
So, as i appreciate the way to unlock it, i found this program : http://www.throttlelauncher.com/downloads/files/ThrottleLock0.4.CAB
It's more than a simply unlocker, as you can create a pattern which look like a password, but you also can simply define as pattern the 3 downs buttons from left to right, and it's like S2U, without lag (and yeah without the iPhone trademark ) !
Here are some screenshot : http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/34-public-releases/87-throttle-lock-04
Enjoy it
I'd be interested in anyone's opinion on this.
I like S2U2, I don't find it drains my battery too much, I like the extra info it displays about next appointments and tasks etc.
Does this locking system show that kind of information too?

Tried it,very nice and cool looking, but unfortunately it wil unlock itself by an incoming call.
Ha ha, doesn't that make it kinda pointless? Many of us will want a lock so that when a call comes in, it doesn't accidentally unlock...
Does a text message unlock it to? Does turning it on unlock it?
I only use S2A2 for the Full Screen caller Option and Trotllelock for a manual devicelock (added to my start up list).
@AndyCr15 : luckyuser means that sometimes Trotllelock unlock itself (Bug). Normally you must wipe with your finger from up to bottom to answer a call. I'll use only the device lock option. Not the answer unlock option. So i'll have the best options from both apps.

Yean it's unlock when a call, but HTC got the protection as you have to put your finger on the virutal block and move it to the left to answer and move to the right to ignore... so it's not a problem, it's an advantage that it's unlocked automatically...

The only programm who can fix that problem to is PocketShield.
Tried this app also, but I had to often gesture problems by shaking the phone! The device didn't react and awake properly for normal use!
i lock my phone by pressing and holding the "down reciever" icon. I thought that i could do that and this app would activate but it doesnt.
It's simple, S2U 1.37 corrects the advantage that thortlelock had... let's go back to S2U2 1.37
See you

I use it too. Shaking does not work that good, so I only use it with finger slide. Works really good. The application is not free though, but €7 is not that much for lifetime upgrades and a lock application that does what it promises
Let's be clear, the application does not unlock itself; it merely (like S2U2) allows you to answer or ignore the call. After the call is completed the phone remains locked.
I have used both and chose throttlelock over S2U2 because of the lack of battery drain, the fact that I can mute an incoming call and that the security on throttlelock is (mildly) better than on S2U2. The other thing to mention is that there are options within throttlelock to disable the 'hard keys' if you choose.
Personally, I will continue to use throttlelock (or an alternative like Pocketshield when it becomes fully HD compatible) until some of the issues with S2U2 are fixed. These are still apparent in the latest ver 1.37.
Just my opinion
Mav.
Pocket shield is the best. I love it's option to auto-unlock with light sensor, and in the dark I just slide my finger on the screen It's also great that it can disable the hardware buttons when locked so no more problem with incidental pressing them while taking the phone out of my pocket I am very happy with this program, esspecially since it has no battery-drain issue like s2u2. The only thing that bothers me is why the h*... htc did'nt implement something like that in TF3d?! ...that, and group sms solution... and a few other things... sorry for the of topic in the end,

We'll see....I used to use S2U2 on my Kaiser but haven't bothered putting on for the last couple of months due to excessive ROM flashing - on my Touch PRO, I found that "TouchLockPro" was a brilliant alternative to S2U2 as it allows you to take advantage of the capacitive touch functionality on the Touch Pro. Have a read here for all the details.

Updated [Jan-10]: [App] [G-Sensor] [Brand New] The XSense v1.2 Final

Credits:
Foremost, let us all acknowledge Koushik for his brilliant "Sensors" library upon which most if not all non-HTC apps that use the G-Sensor, Light-Sensor, and Navi-Sensor are built, simply ingenious. Moreover, I would like to recognize No2chem for the NeuLed2 library which is an equally exquisite peace of code that allows access to the Diamond/Pro Leds. Without those two guys, accessing these advance interfaces on the diamond/pro would be inapproachable at best.
Reason: HTC gave these phones lots of sensors, lets give them.."Sense".
......... EXTRA-Sense ...........
* Hopefully an innovaton, though mostly an integration of RANDOM but needful features...
Features:
1. Courtesy Profiles:
- Set Volume Profiles to activate on Face-Down & Face-UP events. Choose from: None, Silent, Normal, and Vibrate. You can also choose to suspend the Phone when its facing down.
2. Notifications-Sense:
- IF there is/are any outstanding notification(s), the device will vibrate whenever you move it - at customizable intervals: Missed Call(s), Voice Mail, and SMS.
3. Stylus-Sense:- When the Stylus is in/out: Will play sound + Blink the Back button's light.
- When the Stylus is out and the device is moved: Device will vibrate faintly + blink the Back button's light to REMIND you that the Stylus has not been placed back in. This goes on UNTIL the Stylus is placed where it should be.
* Uses "in.wav" & "out.wav" files in the \XSense\ Dir; you can use whatever wave files for this. OR, use the UI to select whichever wave files you want!
4. General Settings:
- Polling Interval: From 200 to 3000 Miliseconds. This determines the rate at which the G-Sensor is polled. Lower values give higher response times and fluid operation at the cost of battery life & CPU utilization.
- Flash Navi Lights: Will blink button lights to notify you of Profile changes and Stylus In/Out.
- Vibrate on Events: Will induce very subtle vibrations to notify you of Notifications and Profile changes.
- Suspend when UP-Side-Down: ???
- Light Navi Button When Suspended: Will do just that when the Light Sensor senses Dim or Dark conditions. This is an independent setting that turns ON the Navi button's light at suspend time, and OFF at Resume time (this is Event Driven, so no polling is involved). This feature really helps if, like me, you want to see where the damn thing is in the dark - before you launch it against the floor.
5. Installs to "\Program Files\XSense", and Creates 2 shortcuts:
"Start Menu\Programs\XSense" and "Startup\XSenseSvc".
Program Settings are saved to the Registry at "HKCU\Software\XSense\".
Use of System Resources:
1. Diskspace: 162 KB RAM footprint: 374-535 KB Battery: NOT observed.
2. CPU Usage: %0.29 Average. Spikes for 2 seconds to %2.7 - %8.5.
3. Battery Impact: Neligeable if at all!
* Indicated CPU usage occurs ONLY when there is an EVENT (posture changed, stylus in/out Sounds playing,
etc)
- Vibration: The way I like it is in waves of 200 miliseconds length! I generally hate vibrations, so if you want it at 201 ms. you're welcome to make your own program and exercise your personal taste.
- This prgram Registers Event Handlers for: "G-Sensor", "Incoming Call", "Phone Call in Progress", "Stylus in/out", and Power Manager events. DO NOT move it to Internal Storage, you have been warned.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 + HTC device with GSensor & Light Sensor.
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for Diamond & Raphael, but will work fine on HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
Bugs/Limitations:
Knock yourself out...
Release Notes:
- This is the LAST revision/release/app I make; programming too much work
- Download & Install the CAB
- Run the XSense from your Start Menu\Programs, customize to taste, and enjoy!
Change Log:
- Brand New UI: VERY "finger friendly" this should be especially useful if you have a WVGA Device
i.e. HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
- Revised entire code for existing & potential bugs, and Performance
tweaked to death.
- Removed various functions (auto speakerphone, car-kit options, etc...). Use "Touch InCall Screen Tweak" for these,
its handles Phone/Speaker brilliantly!
- Shortcut added to Startup for automatic launch after reboot.
- Shortcut with a nice icon added to Start Menu (Credit to VetVito).
- General Tab:
- Navi Button will only light up if the device is in a dark place, i.e. You will
always see where your phone is (before you trash it against the wall).
- Stylus Tab:
- UI elements to select & set sounds for Stylus-in/out events.

Hmm.. bummer! I thought this would be popular - further feed my delusions of grandeur! Ok, I'm taking this off-forum.
Of course this is great idea. But if it was born some months ago, it would've been implemented in every Diamond. Nevertheless it is great. I will download and play with it,

Well, honestly, I was waiting for someone else to do it! Since the Omnia came out so many cried for its "courtesy mode" or something similar, yet no one took it up... So, I finally got tired of waiting lucky me, eh?

So far so good, will do some testing and playing around. Thank you.
It is interesting but most features of your app already exsist in other software.
Courtesy-sense - well my phone does that already, granted it doesn't flash or vibrate but I'm not bothered that it doesn't.
Common-sense - loads of apps allow this to be done. I use Gyrator to achieve the effect and it serves me well.
They only part of your app I find really interesting is the Notifications-Sense, is it possible to make this a standalone app?
Sounds very interesting!!! Anyone detects bugs? Drain battery? Stable?
nice work
When I face down my Diamond, the LED is on, but how long is it going to glow. Till I turn it off? I don't think this is good for the battery.

Unless you have your own build of diamond/pro, you do NOT have courtesy-sense in the way I offer it; while face-down the device is switched to and stays on the silent profile; you do NOT hear any sound whatsoever as opposed to the native feature which will silence your ringer on a per-call basis!
While I used and still love Gyrator, I find its features irrelavent to my personal lifestyle - I find portrait view optimal "for me", so using a large program just to do what's "common sense" simply senseless. Utlimately, you are free to use whatever program(s) you please. Since I like integration/simplicity/lightness I will use mine
As for your request for a stand-alone app, I regret to say NO sorry

Touch HD
This sounds very interesting. Do you think it'll also work on the Touch HD (WM6.5)? This would be just what I've been looking for...
Cheerio
few things...
Courtesy-Sense: it does go silent when i flip it face down, but turning it back face up does not get it out of silent.
I'd really appreciate some way to configure features and possibly even turn some off.
Very good idea though, keep working on it.

Because the device is suspended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two Notes for everybody:
1. Suspending the device halts the processor, freezes all running threads, except hardware triggered events such incoming call, power manager calls, some keyboard events, and registered "run at time" notifications events. G-Sensor state change does NOT trigger a device power state change event.
2. Causing the device to respond to G-Sensor driver events WHILE the device is suspended will cause extensive strain to the battery since the device will wake up every single time you move it! The workaround is still equally exhausting to the system, which is to set the device's power permanantly ON and then turn the screen on/off based on the G-sensor's state (i.e. face up/down =screen off, everything else = ON".
Conclusion: this is the way Windows Mobile is buit, SO, while your phone is ON put it face-down to switch sound profile to silent and face-up/portrait to set it back to normal sound.
So, I hope this answers y'all to satisfaction...
how about not suspending device then? seems bit pointless having to manually bring device out of "suspend" so that automatic feature kicks in. again, some may agree with me, others might not, so having some way to configure those features would satisfy all.

S2U2 problems on Omnia 2, Not everything works properly

Hi there! I have a problem with S2U2 on my I8000 Omnia 2. I installed it, and tried it. It's a cool program, but the call screen is not working to me.
----------
I also have new problems with S2U2. smile.gif I don't care about the sliders anymore, I was turned all off. But when my phone rings, and I press the answer button, the phones keep ringing and not do anything. I can't accept calls with S2U2. Is this a known issue or someone have an idea how to fix this? Or I should use an other app like S2U2?
----------------------
This messages copying modoco.
Try the latest S2U2 Release v2.30, works like a charm on my Omnia2.
Make sure to select RawBuffer as Graphics Mode. (Setting is located at Advanced S2U2 Settings page)
S2U2 was a real pain in the ^ss up until v2.30.
I haven't had any locking issues with the new version, but some serious battery drain have been spotted. I don't mind, since I have chargers at the car, the office and any other place I need it.
It takes like 13% percent of battery overnight when the phone sleeps.
Without S2U2 I can navigate with GPS for an hour for around 10%.
i am facing one serious problem when using S2U2.
original Samsung Omnia2 alarm does not work properly under S2U2.
sometime alarm ring properly. but sometime, only a very short "beep" then it stopped.
this happened especially during alarm in Snooze.
anyone know how to tackle this problem?
thank you in advance

Try the latest S2U2 Release v2.30, works like a charm on my Omnia2.
Make sure to select RawBuffer as Graphics Mode. (Setting is located at Advanced S2U2 Settings page)

I am using WM6.1 and problem with s2u2 (LATEST) is that while it locks the screen nicely, it leaves the ans/end hard key exposed. This creates problem when I accidentally press them while taking phone out of the pouch. For that I had to have other arrengements as mentioned in this forum. If you had no such issues, then your OS must be of a different version. I hate machine specific softwares.
Not true
Out of all HTC snobs here at XDA, A_C is the one who really cares. V2.22 was blazinly fast updated to V2.24 because of dimming issue on ... thats correct - Samsung Omnia II devices. So talking about device-specific software about S2U2 is so wrong and unfair.
I am facing a different problem with S2U2..
When I am listening to music through Touch Player, the song gets paused as soon as S2U2 activates, then I have to press the lock key and then the song plays again
When S2U2 is not running it plays the song flawless..
Any settings I need to change..?

But at the end of the day, it is not locking the ans/end lock keys which is a problem
Ps: I hv never owned an HTC
No need to use S2U2 now, I am using TouchLockPro, much much better, no more secondary gesture when power on, also the app is fully utilizing the G-sensor and the light sensor.

I had the same problem that was very annoying and some of the above too...The main reason I wanted s2u2 was because I didn't want the hardware key button answer call to be enable.Sometimes I was answering calls without knowing it because it was in my bag and with all the stuff in it the button was pushed by itself...From what i see samsung herself has slides for accept or end calls, why the hardware key buttons have to work too?Do you know any trick to disable them when the phone is locked...
Thanks i n advance!
I have the same problem with my Omnia.
Using latest S2U2 (2.43) and setting an alarm with the standard Samsung app.
I have tried most probably all combinations of s2u2 and alarm settings, without any luck.
Anyone ever found a solution for this ?
