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.

shirreer,
Very Nice!
May I suggest if we could use a "Shake" motion to change the gesture profile?
What I want to do is...Slient mode when face down and shake for wake up.
Thanks!
Let´s give it a try.
And guys please don´t forget to vote for Rhodium!

Interesting suggestion, mate; however, the battery won't take it :s I thought of it several times over and eventually settled for the overall performance. Cheer up tho, 2 newsworthy items: WM7 will have the functionality natively + there is an app that does exactly this - its in the HD2 section if you're game enough to try it
Cheers & Enjoy

Great work.
One thing I would like to remark:
The phone goes to vibration as I've set it when I turn it upside down.
However, when I turn it up again, it doesn't go back to normal unless I press one of the hard key buttons and "wake" it up.
Is this to save the battery life? If so I fully understand. I don't know if there is a solution where battery life is not affected and this can be solved.

hi,
the new version is out, look here.
Original PoinUI files attached on this post.
Code:
New Features
* Smartphone support
* PDA's (without phone) support
* Voice mail count is now displayed under the missed call count for those with phone networks supporting this feature.
* Lock screen will fade back to Home screen to allow you to see all of the status information even when device is locked.
* Translation support - see the forums for more information.
* New customise option: can choose digital or analog clock.
* New customise option: Lock Device, Show Home, or Show Home Screen when device is switched on.
* New customise option: automatically switch bluetooth on only during phone calls and switch off at the end of the call (not supported on all devices). The idea behind this is that if you only use bluetooth during phonecalls for headset etc and don't need it on all the time, then this option could be useful to you. It will turn bluetooth on as soon as an incoming/outgoing call is detected, and turn it off when you hang up.
* New customise option: can choose to use Home's comm manager or system default if supported.
* New customise option: can choose to not show screenshots in Currently Running screen (if your device has issues showing the screenshots).
* New customise option: can choose to Show Home, Show Call Summary Screen, or Do Nothing when call is finished.
* New customise option: can choose to use Home's task bar or standard system task bar.
* The list of applications now merges the list of favorites so you can view the entire list together
* Call summary screen added to display who was called and how long call lasted for at end of call.
* Lock screen can now be used on smartphones - you press up then down on dpad.
* You now have an additional option to "Lock Device" on power on.
* Battery saving - now only uses marginally more battery power than normal - smartphone users should notice a big difference (of course this is dependent on how excessive you are with using it).
Changes
* Taskbar in all other standard apps is no longer changed except for the Start button area which still takes you to Home's Task Menu.
* Windows Media icon has been replaced with Favorites.
* Appointments summary shows only the next 7 days of appointments.
* Tasks summary no longer shows completed tasks.
* Force close now returns focus back to Home.
* Ringer volume and profile button on sound screen for non-phone devices are no longer displayed.
* Appointments now display all day events in bold and should not display events that have been completed for the day.
* "Today" and "Tomorrow" in appointments also now show the date after them
* Smartphones no longer have a Windows Mobile section as it's not relevant.
* Shortcut no longer includes "." at start which was causing issues for button mapping.
* Soft key on Today screen no longer overridden. (NOTE: you will need to reset it back to what it was manually if you have a previous version installed).
Bug Fixes
* Many bugs fixed!
* Memory leak issues fixed.
* Lock screen locks keys as well, and when orientation changed while locked the keys remain locked.
* Recurring appointments now displayed.
* Hardware buttons now working.
* Volume controls now working.
* Volume controls support stereo.
* Control panel applets have had a number of bug fixes. They still are only categorised correctly for English ROMS unless you use a translated terms file as described in the forums.
* Battery shouldn't show 255% any more but some devices for some reason do not report the correct % when asked and can take a while before they report it successfully.
* The speed that tasks load has been improved and should no longer cause freezes.
* Currently Running screen causing device to freeze has been fixed on most devices, but still is problematic with some devices in which case you need to switch off the screenshots option.
* Closing home sometimes caused it to freeze needing soft reset issue has been fixed.
Known Issues
* See the forums for more details.

Add links to the \Windows\Start folder.
Ok am I missing something or is there still no way to reverse the slide up and down and side to side? Its backwards from every other finger sliding program I have used and it just makes it feel wrong.
Man I can't believe they still haven't made this an option.
Can I use this one for VGA? because I ever tried using the previous version but can not display well
just edit your Menu under Settings
i have folders in the \windows\start menu folders such as '\Office 2007' and '\Accessories'
how can i access them?? i hope favorites can also support folders in the future version.. i kind of like the way PoinUI is right now (optional top bar, optional homescreen).. because i only want PointUI to be an Application Launcher of some sort and not a complete overall UI..
also, can the scroll function be reversed? i mean an option to do so? because i use FtouchFLO and TouchFLO for general OS and application navigation and it's scroll/finger swipe function is when you swipe up, list scrolls down.. and a swipe down does the opposite direction (list goes up)
it is a bit disorienting to have a different/reversed swipe/finger scroll direction in PointUI other that what the whole OS has..
besides those requests.. i'm enjoying the launcher 100%
dont know what happened....phone froze during a phone call...uninstalling
screnshoot please
This is pretty good. Have decided to give it a go now that you aren't stuck with that hideous blue!
Just one question - how do you go straight into Contacts to make a phone call. I have been using pocketcm which is great, but now have to go looking for it as an application, instead of just hitting the soft button.
Or am I missing something?
still no way of changing which email account to use from the main page i see (defaults to outlook/exchange) even though i've not got that set up at the moment and have done with the windows live mail
that and the backward touch scrolling is making it hard to use this program which does look really good.
it just needs its own email/sms reader and contacts just like its got with the recent calls list.

Hi there,
Here's a video (click!)
What is this ?
This is a little application that will simulate key presses (on the D-pad) or scroll while you tilt your device. It will soon be usable in many games (e.g. racing games where it isn't really great to use the D-Pad). It is actually usable with a lot of desktop-softwares, like Manila, etc...
The application is at its very first beta release now and so you WILL encouter bugs and IT WONT be stable so try it if you want to but don't wine, instead post constructive suggestions, please.
Here is some explanations about the control panel:
Application name: This is where you introduce the application's name (the one which appears on the top of the window)
Tilt key: Which key the software simulates when you tilt your device to the left. The tilt side never changes, even if you rotate your device. It is based on when you hold your device in portrait mode flat down.
Tilt sensivity: this is a number (between 0 and 100) setting the tilting minimal for the action to be sent. The more you're close to 0, the more sensitive it will be. If you set it to 100, it will never trigger.
Interval: the interval at which keys are pressed. This means that if you set it too low, while tilting your device, a lot of keys will be sent. It is calculated in milliseconds. So if you set it to 1000, when you tilt your device, it will simulate 1 press per second, per key. Setting it low enough is useful for games, for example.
I hope I was understandable enough, lol.
Well, here's the cab file. Enjoy !
I discovered that this little application is taking a lot of my spare time, so if you like it, and would like to buy me some coffee I could drink while I improve that program for you, you could
!

29-09-2008: New version: 0.03
Not much of new features here, basically improved a little the GUI (and a new image, thanks again to SkizZO).
Improved memory handling of the app and general performance.
Fixed many memory leaks which would slow down your device a lot if you used the software during long time.
This is, in my opinion, the first version where we begin towards perfectionning the application.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
28-09-2008: 0.02.95
[x] Improved GUI
[x] Possibility to calibrate the application
[x] Possibility to enable/disable VueFlo ("VueFlo" is the feature you actually kept using in the previous versions)
[x] Possibility to use the application as a screen rotator. I would suggest you to disable "VueFlo" feature if you use it. Please consider using Brins0's Screen Rotator or GSen if you intend to use it only for that feature, as they will consume less memory.
[x] Possibility to have a tilt not binded to a key
[x] Tried to make the app look nicer, but I caught myself again trying to do things I can't.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
28-09-2008: 0.02.91
[x] The app should use less memory now
[x] Added a "scroll" feature. This will scroll the current window while tilting instead of pressing keys. EXPERIMENTAL
[x] The app would crash in some situations, this should be fixed. Please report any crash issue.
[x] Catch window's class name instead of title. This will fix a lot of issues with applications that weren't working before. Note:All your previous configuration could not work anymore. You will have to catch again the windowses.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
28-09-2008: 0.02.9
[x] Improved GUI
[x] Brins0's-like window catcher
[x] Possibility to enable or disable one selected application handling
[x] Fixed: you weren't able to set window's name with version 0.02.5
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
27-09-2008: 0.02.5
[x] Possibility to chose between continuous key simulation or once.
[x] Window catcher
[x] Added icon, thanks to SkizZO
[x] Fixed crash if you click on modify without selecting an app first.
This version took me much time because I was primarily working on the touch to activate feature. This feature is not available yet, but it will be.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
25-09-2008: 0.02
[x] Lots of bug fixes and fixed incoherences in the code
[x] When tilting your device it will keep sending key strokes, and increase speed according to the sensivity you have chosen and the degree you tilt your device
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
25-09-2008: 0.01.1a
[x] Bug fix: Memory leak
TODO for 0.05:
[y] Supporting as much games as possible, please help by testing your favourite games and giving feedback.
[y] Possibility to set a value so you have to gently keep your thumb on the sensivite touch pad for the app to work
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Known bugs:
[?] If you change between some apps, GController won't read any tilt anymore thus won't work. Restarting the app is necessary.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Planned future features:
[ ] Finding some way to manage with orientation of the device, when an other program changes it.
[ ] Key rotations, means when you switch your device to an other orientation, the tilt keys will also rotate.
[ ] An exportable list of windows/processes
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
[ ] means the programmation of the feature not begun yet.
[x] means the programmation of the feature is complete or on its way
[y] means I am currently working on the feature
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Thanks for all the suggestions !

Can you make it son when you make the tilt, it continues if you hold the tilit, so it isnt just one move.

I think this makes much more sense.
thank you so much for the program. this will someday be the best program for diamond ever.
good luck programming...
Thanks for the app, gotta give it a try, and hope it is more productive than fanciness. Great
anyone tried this on a touch pro ? any chances of this working??
sadly not working on a 1.90 Touch Pro ROM (or the Application "Programs" does not work??)
Very Good My Friend!
This is great!
Works fine in Messaging.
But, I like to have default orientation when device is vertically, i'm standing and looking onto it.
Better yes, when it is slightly diagonal, like holding it naturally.
I think it should
:notice a certain minimal speed and direction of changing orientation.
:use that to press the button, and keep pressing it while
:the software checks if the orientation has changed. If it did, stop repeating.
What would be the effect:
when I hold the device and move it with some speed a bit backwards the scrolling/moving starts, until I take it back.
The 2nd post has been modified as you can see and your suggestions will be implemented.
Thank you very much

Absolutely brilliant work, Scotchy49!!!
It's a gem of a software for the Diamond!! :-D
I was sure it will be appreciated from a LOT of peoples
awesome with Pocket Player... but i realize that the application is slower than normal. For sure its neatly finished version. THX
Wanted this for so long, Thanks Scotch49. Just dowloaded and will have a good play with it once my kids are in bed tonight. Looks like I will be editing my signature as well!
Ok Guy, i've tried it Good Work Man. if you permit, i'll suggest some things:
-A process/window title catcher
-An exportable list of windows/processes
-A way to assign "general settings" or specific setting, to every windows/process.
....and a repeat rate of the up/down/left/right keystrokes sending by the movement,(naturally assignable into general & specific settings)
...if the settings for each app are stored into the exported list, we can also exchange our configurations.
=========================================
3/14/2009 Pedometer 1.42 is released.
What's new:
--Fixed "InvalidCastException" error for non-english regional setting.
NOTE:
1) If you want to keep your old jogging data, and customized sound file and background file, you need to save the "pedometer.sdf", "background.jpg", and "StepSound.wav" files, install the new version, then copy back these files to \program files\elitemway\pedometer folder.
2) !!! The pedometer is designed to count relatively accurately when you carry the phone vertically or horizontally around you left or right side of your waist belt. It may give you wrong result if carry your phone otherwise. Step detection algorithm that can handle all carrying position and walking/running conditions is very complicated and is beyond my knowledge. Step length and Calories conversion are unique for each individual and walking condition. There is no way that this can be very accurate. You may adjust these values in the "Setting" screen. The application is not globalized yet. Like all other xda developers, I have to find spare time working on this project. Thank you for your understanding!
==================================================
3/12/2009 Pedometer 1.41 patch is released.
What's new:
--Fixed the version number.
--When you set the distance unit to "mile", it still displays the distance value as km. This bug is fixed in the patch.
Copy the attached zipped exe to elitemway\pedometer folder, override the existing one.
12/25/2008 Pedometer 1.4 is released. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
What's new:
--The pedometer should also work when carrying in horizontal position. Please report if the counting is accurate enough.
--Added "Show toolbar" setting so that you can choose whether to show the toolbar on the main screen.
12/16/2008 Pedometer 1.3 is released.
What's new:
--Added battery threshhold setting. The program will pause pedometer, automatically save the current progress and then allow device to go into standby mode based on the Power setting when battery level falls below a certain value.
--Relocate the buttons from the main screen to menu.
--Display battery status on the main screen.
--You can change the background by replacing the default "Background.jpg" file.
12/15/2008 Pedometer 1.2 is released.
What's new:
--Step detection is a little bit better. It still has a lot of room for improvement though.
--While Pedometer is running, the screen will dim, but will not standby.
--The "Hide" button not only turns off the screen, it can also prevent the device from going into stanby mode. So you can let it run in the background for a long time. If you want to keep it running, do not use the Power button, instead using the Hide button.
--Pause button stops both time and step count. It will also stop the timer. So when it is paused, the device can be in the standby mode to save battery.
--I let it run around 7 hrs in office environment with fully charged batterry (1350mAh), with Blackberry connect and a few emails, no step sound, I still had about 45% left at the end.
--You can mute the step sound from the main screen.
--Now it has the HTC Diamond black transparent background. See the screenshot.
--The default step sound is shorter and "big foot" like. You can customize the sound by replace the default "StepSound.wav" file (do not use anything above 0.2 sec). Nero 8 wave editor and other tool is good for sound editing.
--Added error handling for possible decimal conversion error due to different regional setting. As a workaround, you can probably change you regional setting to English, then run the application, finish the setting, then change it back.
12/13/2008 Pedometer Release 1.0 summary
I searched extensively for a pedometer application that works on Diamond, but could not find anything. So I created one.
--It uses HTC Touch Diamond's built in Accelerometer.
--Only .Net CF 2.0 is required (comes with Diamond).
--You can pause and reset the step counter.
--It displays steps, distance, calories and time duration.
--You can use the Hide button to save battery.
--You can set the step length and calories per mile value.
--You can save, delete and view the historical data.
--The historical data is stored in Microsoft SQLCe compact database.
--It can play the sound when the step is detected.
--It can sound an alarm when the set distance is reached.
--Briefly tested with the US unlocked version of the Diamond and Sprint version of the Diamond.
--The sensor.dll is from http://www.koushikdutta.com/search/label/Sensor%20API
Tips:
--First, verify and set your preferred setting from the menu item.
--Find the best carrying position with the "Play step sound" option on.
--Use the Hide button to save battery.
--You can install on storage card, but it can break the application if you use the storage mode while the Pedometer application is running.
Known Issues:
--Step detection is not accurate sometime. The algorithm needs improvement.
--Hide mode does not prevent from going into sleep mode.
--After changing the setting, you need to close then reopen the application for teh new setting to take effect.
--It only works if the diamond is in the vertical position.
nice work buddy
Looks promising, thanks for the work!
any chance this would work on a touch pro? Also, if i wanted to leave it on all day just to basically see how many steps i'm getting in on a typical day, does that basically mean i'll have to recharge my phone everyday or is the battery footprint very low?
thanks!
this could be pretty useful. thanks
Nice work, I just came on here to look for one of these, thanks for the convenience haha
Thx for the ap, i was working on my one some time ago but stop after having bad etection when running, im going to test yours and given a feedback.
work well on Touch HD and Diamond but... i run for twenty steps but... it counted only nine.. (bouth diamond and touch HD was in vertical position)...
thank you
Step detection algorithm is hard to do. I will see if it can be improved.

Not sure if it will work on TouchPro. It should work though. This utility is still in early development stage. I do not have battery consumption data yet. The key is to find a reliable step detection algorithm. Thanks.
On my Touch Pro, RomeOS 1.51 :
When I try to run this APP.
Conversion from string "0.235" to type "Decimal" is not valid.
try changing your language options, there where any option to change the symbol of , to . or what else
Pedometer version 1.2 is released
Hi, All:
After some intensive efforts, the Pedometer version 1.2 is released. The HTC touch black transparent looks much better. Please post all questions in this thread.
I found this doc. It may be of interest to you in regards to your algorithm? Excellent work in any case.

Great App
thanks for great app. What would be really cool is if it would have its own TFlo3D tab.

I will look at at the paper closely when I get a chance.
Is there a message/signal that is sent out when Windows Mobile is about to die due to lack of power? Because twice now, while hiking and while on the tread mill, my phone happened to be on it's last legs WRT power, unknown to me. In the middle of the workout/hike the phone died due to lack of power thus losing the progress so far. Could pedometer instead be notified of pending death of the phone due to power and "save itself"
before all power is gone?
Either that or how about a resume feature where ever minute (5 minutes or whatever) pedometer saves the current progress such that if the phone died for any reason and pedometer was restarted, it would sense that it was in the middle of a recording and offer to resume where it left off of start anew.
It seems to me that either solution would solve my problem.

In next release, I can add battery alert threshold, play the sound, then, save the progress automatically and allow device to go to standby mode.
Lightsailpro, any plans to make this a GPS-assisted app? I realize that once you introduce GPS, you're taking away from the entire purpose of using the accelerometer to measure actual steps, however, I would love to have an app that I could choose on a given occasion whether it uses acc. to measure steps, or GPS to measure actual distance.
Currently, I run with my Diamond (for music) and a GPS watch (to track my progress and calories). How great it would be to ditch the watch and combine all the functionality into the Diamond!

Sounds great! Thanks.
Now, it it's not too much to ask, a little better graphical design... I know, I'm no graphic artist either but I can steal with the best of them!
SensorScroll uses the HTC Touch Diamond/PRO Gesture Wheel to scroll up and down inside windows which allow scrolling (has a scroll bar). It can also emulate key pressing instead of scrolling.
It is in beta stage, please use carefully. All bug reports, fresh ideas and recommendations are welcome.
Instructions:
1. Install the application. It adds shortcut in Programs and in \Windows\Startup folders!
2. Right after installation you can run the application from Programs shortcut to start using it. There is no need for soft reset to have it running for the first time!
3. To use the application open a Window with a vertical scroll bar like Programs or File Explorer and try rotating the scroll sensor clockwise for scroll down and counter clockwise for scroll up. Don't forget to try the touch action too (double tap on the central button to switch on/off and touch the direction keys)
4. To fine tune the application behavior use the SensorScroll Settings application
5. Have fun!
6. To stop, run it again and you will have an option to stop it.
Notes:
Inside installation folder there is a file named no_process.txt. The file contains a list of process names which will not be affected by the application (or by SensorScroll Settings). It already has some entries like opera, teeter, etc.
The application is freeware (and will always stay free)
Known issues:
* Does not work with GScroll ! Both programs act like they have disabled each other.
Todo:
* Clear the source code and add some comments
* Open the source code if i consider it good enough to be open
Search for new ideas:
We can do something with the rest of the touch sensitive area. I'm collecting ideas. We can use single, double or triple click. Known limitation: you could track press and release coordinates, but cannot track finger movement (at least I don't know how). If you come with a good idea please share it and post a reply. Thanks in advance!
History:
* v0.7.1 (20.05.2009)
- Fixed a nasty bug resulting in SensorScroll working with all programs including those who needs to be ignored
- Temporary removed windows enumeration in SensorScroll Settings. I'll try to put some more complex code to handle poorly working API functions in the next version.
* v0.7 (17.05.2009)
- Fully changed working principles. Should be much more stable and compatible now.
- Added support for screen rotation. Read the manual about the 3 key screen rotation.
- Added support for process identify. Read the manual.
- Added handling of power notifications. Now it should consume almost no CPU when suspended.
- Added support for preventing the device to go to suspended state while using the d-pad
- Added support for vibrate feedback for "touch gestures switch", "screen rotation", "process identify"
- Fixed problem with saving/loading settings with non english versions of windows mobile
- Fixed problem with double tap working not only for the center button, but also in other areas (home, back, call, end call)
- Removed process enumeration in SensorScroll Settings. This caused more problems then it solved.

Old version 0.6 can be found here
Thanks. Works well so far. One early issue I noticed upon installing your .cab is my device freezes for no apparent reason. I am also running GScroll, may have something to do with that. I'll try disabling it and report back.
Great app...props already http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1479

Confirmed.... Does not play nice nice w/GScroll. After disabbling GScroll it works great unfortunately I need GScroll so I can have the double tap functionality to bring up SecondToday
Randomly the program will stop working (not sure if it completely shuts down or if its actually running, but not working). Instead of scrolling the page, it will start to scroll by each item. For example, in the Program menu it will go from app to app.
Works Perfectly for me.
Thanks!
The Mobile Spoon
Working perfect - thank you!
edit: after testing as already pointed out seems to turn off.
How does this compare with the cabs already out? I mean does it work in EVERY app? I mean I use RRE's Smart Touch Wheel Scroll.cab, but I'll try this one and see if there is any difference.
Kraize - this works in far more applications. It's really an expansion because you can set it to leave the defaults in place that Diamond Tweaks puts in. The only problem appears to be that it turns off at some points. Not sure what is causing the behavior.
Great App!!! is there any way you could make this scroll through touchflo? Like left 2 right? Always wanted this....lol sorry . Anyways thank you!
AT&T FUZE Touch Pro unstable
Awesome idea! Installed it on my 1 day old AT&T FUZE and crashed a few times and rebooted the phone once. Hopefully will be fixed soon. HAve the feeling AT&T touch flow 3D is causing the issue.
Nice app any way to get this to work with S2U2?
Thank you for sharing, I will give it a try
cheers
Works fine on my Touch Pro. Tnx mate for this!
the program chashes at my touch pro after a few minutes and doens´t scoll anymore so i have to exit and restart it again.
why runing additional app when this should be integrated just need to tell registry
check this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406206
i don't have stability problems, but the app doesn't survive the first suspend

it's still better to import dozens of reg files after each hard reset + it works with ALL toolbar-scroll windows ^^
hello, is it possible for you to make a version wich moves LEFT <> RIGHT instead of UP <> DOWN ?
I mean to scroll tabs on manilla, to change word when typing a sms cause may big fiingers are to dummy to easily use the left right keys
PS : excuse my english, i'm french
Perfect..
It works fine on my device
Thank a lot man
Thank you for your replies! I'll check the application with GScroll. I've never used it so far. I hope it will be possible to fix the problem.
Hi All,
Updates for G-Trigger (v0.9.0+ beta):
First is, you can shake your device to change wallpaper of Today/Manila/S2U2, second is, save a screenshot and third to show/hide SIP (As suggested by tevike)
I have lowered the threshold value up to 5 for front-back action as some people find it very hard to shake. Although lower value less than 10 does not work on my device. If you find hard to shake try setting threshold value for front-back lesser than 10 and uncheck option "Discard accidental shakes".
I have added priorities to profiles in this version. It is useful in combination with Auto-Trigger profile option. If you have one or more profile which satisfies auto-trigger option for current device state, then higher priority profile will be selected to trigger an action.
This version 0.9.0 beta seems to be pretty stable. Hope it works fine for all.
For updated features from v0.8.0 onwards look here.

Thanks,
Krupal Desai

Back to front
It will trigger the specified action when phone is forcibly moved from left to right or moved as above mentioned directions. Also you can assign different actions with keeping device face up and shaking device in any of the above action or keeping device face down and shaking device in any of the above action.
Currently supported actions:
Close/Minimize active window
Dial a number
Answer/Reject incoming call
Launch Program
Ringer Loud/Vibrate/Silent
Screen orientation

*Please refer to readme.txt for sending special keys.
#Currently supported media players are: Windows Media Player, S2P, Microfi Nitrogen, Core Player, TCPMP, Pocket Player, Pocket Music and Manila (TF3D) Music Tab.
G-TriggerService will be suspended till the program specified in exceptions list is active.
Known Facts:
OSD is displayed with some delay after event is occurred
Sometimes shake actions are not triggered when device is busy processing
Action Media Control "Stop" does not work for all players
Media controls for "Pocket Player" works till it's window is active or minimized (not working when in notification mode)
Further development:
Display configured actions as OSD when device is lightly shaked
Add more actions like "Navigate Manila Page", "Open Quick Launch" etc on shaking
It is developed for HTC Touch Diamond. I have not tested it on any other device. Let me know if you try it on other device.
NOTE: Although running this application does not seem to make any damage, I take no responsibility for any kind of damage caused to the device or data due to this application.
PS: Credits to Koushik Dutta for sharing G-Sensor managed code for Diamond. Many thanks to Ageye for sharing updated G-Sensor code for Samsung Omnia (here).
Usage:
Transfer .cab file to any location in device.
Run the .cab file and install application to device storage.
Run the “G-Trigger” shortcut from programs.
Click “New” button on “Action” tab.
Enable the check boxes for the actions you want to activate.
Assign any action by clicking “…” button on the right side of action text box.
Click “Save” button on edit profile page, again click “Save” button on main page.
Click “Start” button to start the service.
Shake your phone and enjoy!
How to shake the phone?
Hold the mobile phone facing yourself and perform following:
Left to Right:
Quickly move the phone from current position towards right hand side for about 6 inches (Increase speed during motion from slow to fast and suddenly stop at the end to feel the shock)
Top to Bottom:
Quickly move the phone from current position to downwards for about 6 inches (Increase speed during motion from slow to fast and suddenly stop at the end to feel the shock)
Front to Back:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hold the phone facing yourself and near to you.
Quickly move the phone from current position to far away from you for about 6 inches (Increase speed during motion from slow to fast and suddenly stop at the end to feel the shock)
Back to Front:
Hold the phone facing yourself and little far from you.
Quickly move the phone from current position to nearer to you for about 6 inches from the last position (Increase speed during motion from slow to fast and suddenly stop at the end to feel the shock)

Quick guide to Auto Trigger:
If you want G-Trigger to behave differently for different active program, it's now possible. For example, you want left to right for playing next track, right to left for playing previous track, only if Windows Media Player is active then create a new profile, assign left to right for next track, right to left for previous track and check "Auto Trigger" with program name as wmplayer.exe. Bingo!!! Its done.
How G-Trigger works:
G-TriggerService.exe application runs all the time and polls the G-Sensor to get current position of the device. It polls G-Sensor for about 10 times a second and observes the positions of the device. It keeps track of last 5 positions and scans all the 5 positions and checks if any shake is detected. If shake is detected it looks for action and triggers an action.
FAQ:
1. Does polling of G-Sensor all the time damages it?
-It does not seems to damage sensor by polling but I don’t take any responsibility in a case. Use it at your own risk!
2. Does G-TriggerService impacts my device’s battery power?
-Yes! It runs all the time as soon as your device is awake and it keeps on polling the G-Sensor, so it will consume some battery power. Although, I am running it all the time since I developed, I don’t see any legible battery consumption. Though you need to benchmark if you want to see exact battery consumption.
3.How much memory does G-TriggerService eats?
-G-TriggerService takes around 500KB when OSD is off and takes around 1MB if OSD is on.

Requirements:
HTC Touch Diamond (Not tested on any other device)

thx,preety usefull app, i will try it
?
Not got the time to test this right now, but can this app answer/end calls with a shake? or task switch? or end a running program? if not, then is it a possibility for future releases?
In pipeline

Ok just tested a few programs, found windows media player doesnt respond to any shakes, no message appears to come up so it registers the shake and program but fails to open winsows media player, anybody else have the same issue??
EDIT: got media player working! dont select the windows media player option from program files, instead goto the windows folder and select 'wmplayer.exe'
Sorry about triple posting lol
I have also found in order to register a 'left to right' shake you have to start by shaking your phone to the right. Start by shaking your phone to the left for a 'Right to left' shake. If i shake my phone 'right to left' once, it opens the 'left to right' application. Hope this is clear.
'My documents' doesnt work with 'left to right' shake from what i have tried
Great app any way im sure once bugs are fixed this will be great

You need a quick, hard shake for it to register as a shake

G-forces aren't significant unless you're at Canada's Wonderland on the Bumper Cars ride.....
Nifty Program, Great Job! ...
Really a great program! Works like a charm.
One proposal: An exception list for some programs are running would be good (some needs the shake like Shake'n'save) - but especially S2U2 is a problem - because when device is locked with S2U2 - the shake still works - and opens the programs - with some indifferences with S2U2.
Keep up this real good work

It requires hard shake to detect an event so I don't think it gets an effect of bumps . Although you can increase threshold to make it even harder.

Yes I have observed this issue. I am working on exceptions thing, so it could be overridden when S2U2 is in foreground. Will have to wait for some time..
