Hi guys,

i think my Diamond Profile Switcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406769) should just be for switching vibration mode and volume on.

So I decided to develope an own application for everything else you want to have, when shaking your device!

So let me know, what I should implement!

[RSchris]

Hi, ur profil switcher is great. I was asking myself if it was possible, to use the sensor in HTC Album, to view next photo by shaking the phone, like in WM7.

Or, to wake up the device.
Thanks for your work.

[L o r d R a j]

Wake up would be great....

Appreciate the effort.

[sunr!der]

What about switching to home if you shake while in an app.
Or better, close the current app.
the "x" is not easy to be touched with a finger...

And if shake at home, the profile will be switched
(shake the apps away :) )

[ceevee369]

Seems someone is becoming the un-crowned king of the Diamond.

So, honestly, how did you extracted the accelaration as GSEN makers would not release any info?

the ultimate Shaker : a selection of vertical - horizontal movement being linked to a list of possible actions.

Man, you ARE good!

TF3D, Shaker , the GSEN(credit to SKVV).... our Diamonds become step by step GREAT device.

HTC... you can learn a lot on the Diamond forum :D

[lmr2003]

Very good idea !

I have tested it and it works.... but only 1 time, onlyy when you launch the application.

For sure you'll fix it or maybe I am doing something wrong.

Thanks for that

[bau33]

also answering to calls with a specific shake will be nice or scrolling trough contacts or callog by tilting the diamond

[bau33]

maybe this thread sould be made Sticky

[stesa]

I vote for shake to wake up !

[solecin]

my vote for wake up too and for shake to see the next picture in the htc album, great ideas!! and thank you very much for your apps

[bouzoubaa]

+1 for shake to wake up and shake to close apps. The x button is hard to get by finger. this way our touch will become easy touch :D

[oldhouse]

I like the shakeSMS application of nokia phones: when you have a new SMS, you just have to shake the phone to view the sms, and then shake again to return to the homepage/homescreen.

[analogital]

A vote for Wakeup on shaking device also (it would be nice if add some effect like blurring after wakeup and start to getting clear, like the one seen in WM7)

[Illodin]

+1 for shake to wake up and shake to close apps. The x button is hard to get by finger. this way our touch will become easy touch

[vijayvasa]

for shake to wake up and shake to close apps.

[axl79]

In my oponion it would let you to choose from a list of functions and might let you switch with an config app.

My suggestions for this functions are:

- Wake up and Unlook
- Anwer call - End Call
- Close Apps
- Change Profiles
- Next Track in WMP
- Next Station in Radio
- Download Weather in Weather Tab
- Launch custom applications from installed ones.

And so much others posibilities.

And if you go for GOLD Medal, the perfect shake applications could do the function depending the context, if you are receiving a call, shake in this moment will anwer the call.. if you are listening music on WMP, shake will skip track... and so no....

Thanks and keep doing this GREAT Work.

[unclesomebody]

I definitely think that context based shaking would be the best possible option. It makes the most sense intuitively, and even though I don't have my diamond yet, I'm immensely impressed by what goes on here!

[sushilange]

Yeah, context based shaking would be very cool!

Also i think it would be nice not run just ONE activity on shaking, so that you have a list in which you can add all implemented features (run other application, lock phone, switch display on, etc.) and they will all run after shaking.

[MasterOfDesasters]

Okay, now my two cents. What about an onscreen dialog, now you move the cursor with the gsensor to the menu entry you want and shake to accept, or double move in one direction. something like that.

[R3PUBL1K]

Any Shake would be cool to use...

[mcwtrekkie]

A vote for Wakeup on shaking device also (it would be nice if add some effect like blurring after wakeup and start to getting clear, like the one seen in WM7)


Yes please!!!

I also like what someone (forget who) said in your other thread about shaking to snooze/dismiss the alarm

[aldur]

why not making a configuration part, where you can select what to do?
(similar to mapping hardware buttons)

[sushilange]

That's what i want to do ;-)

But i have to know, what options you want to have ;-)

[hhhddd999]

Wating for release.

[aragornol]

That`s the option I would like to have.
shaking
1) if in application - close application
2) if in sleep - wake up & unlock if locked

1) if ring - pick up
2) if call - drop call

1) if in tf3d home tab - can choose which application launch by shaking - otherwise switch to home tab (option for defining which tab in case you reorder tab positions witch your config)

1) if alarm / notification / reminder is poped - dismiss

scrolling in pictures, sms, music tab should be done through leaning up/down.
also tf3d tabs should be switched through leaning left / right

pretty much huh ? :))

[AhNe]

1) if in application - close application

second that!

[ben®nie]

what about if the alarm turns on, you switch it of bij shaking the phone..

[DiemetriX]

This can turn into an amazing app :D

If it does I'll poor you some coffee ;)

[Andrea_f]

I vote for shake to wake up !

QUOTE .......

[Aqrab]

how about changing wallpapers in today screen when shaking

example

puting some pictures in a folder and choose this folder in your program so that it can use it

so then when i shake the device in today screen it change the wallpapers with these in that folder that i choose

[foegie]

That`s the option I would like to have.

i think this would be a really good basis to start with. Then see whatever else is requested :)

[turt]

Is it possible to make an shaking app to start/close a bluetooth or wifi connection? :)

[Entrak]

Make a small application that tells you if your phone is horizonally/vertically aligned. Nice for putting up that shelf. ^^

[jack__Wu]

hey dude, wake up is good, and if it is possible, shake it again to let it off, cool man!!!!!

[jack__Wu]

is me again, shake it one time to perform some function, and.......shake it two time in a short period to perform another app.. shut, i'm crazy..........do u know what i mean? wahahahahaha.....can't wait....

[ykyong]

Read so many wonderful thread and great ideas from all the geniuses. Thought of just, contributing some thoughts for all the guru.

Since the Diamond is equipped with a built-in G-sensor, would it be nice if we can move the cursor/selection on the screen by tilting the diamond up/down/left/right.

For example, in the program screen, we can tilt up/down/left/right to select the required applications. Same selection can be done with other screen where required.

The shaking method will also be great, but it will probably be application specific. But if we can use the above tilting gestures as cursor/selective control, wouldn't it be great.

Of course, we may need to consider the means to activate this only when required. The timing for the cursor/selection to stay before activating, and also means to refine the tilt gestures, so that it will move 1 block at a time.

This idea comes from the Teeter game I played. I am not mean a Technical person in this area and have really no idea how to do it. So if this is not interesting, I hope all of you can forgive me.

Thanks

[Reason4444]

Very well thought of.
Also mayby change screen oriantation when making a special movement?
And to move it further, maybe a pedometer?

[sushilange]

Hi guys,

i think it should be possible, to implement all these features.

BUT: Fristly i'll not implement the feature to turn on display when shaking, because my application has to run all the time in standby so that it could be possible! That means, that your battery drains very, very fast! And i also don't know whether the sensor is still on in standby!

[DiemetriX]

Np. This app is still amazing :) Can't wait for the official release :)

[zimonia]

Firsty everything aragornol said is nice though i understand the fact that waking up on shaking is not possible cause of battery drainage.

my sugjestions:
If wake-up alarm goes off:
turn phone over like muting on call: the alarm snoozes
shake phone: alarm stops

incoming call: shake is accept
calling: shake is hangup
new sms/mail: shake is opening
nothing active on phone: shake is change profile.

sensitivity is important though, u dont wanna hang up when you are moving the phone to your ear or when switching hand.

[DOMin8or]

to answer phone calls, a triple shake in horizntal direction is a good way to
use this function parallel with the other users ideas.

here are my ideas:
tilt angle left for backward on timeachses in audio/movie players.
tilt angle right for fast forward in audio/movieplayers
double tilt in 1000 ms, will STEP forward/backward

tilting front and backward, for sliding the photos in the album/favorite persons.
this will have a nice effect. you tilt vorward and the picture 'falls' in the direction.
the more tilt, faster sliding will be fine. (in music and video apps, too)

and tilt spezialmode for opera, to scroll the page into the tilted direction.
(with different scroll speeds, controlled by tilt angel)
(same to photoviewer in zoom mode, in 100% mode, use tilt directions left right to
bitmap forward--backward, and front-back to switch to galery view and scroll
the thumbnails into chosen direction.)

and a keyboard emulator for the direction keys to use them in FLUX (the game. i think that is fun :-))


sorry for the bad english, but i have too many ideas, but i can`t explain them exactly.

[Riel]

I'd rather use the normal phone keys for calling, or am I the only one?


Shaking can be of various functions, but please don't use the functions that already are called by 1 press on a button...

Why would I wanna shake my phone if someone calls? I'd rather press the 'pick up' key :)

Snoozing is good. Closing apps too.

[princEd]

For some reason I had to shake it quite a few times with force, then the unit would finally switch profile. With the possibility that it might get drop to the floor coz of shaking, I un-installed it after all. But a neat app indeed!

[Riel]

There can be made so much more beside 'SHAKING' :)


How about using it as a Bluetooth mouse?

Tilting left-right = left-right
Tilting front up - down = up - down

Mouse buttons on touchscreen




Or some developer sending WII-signals :)

[RSchris]

Answering by shaking the phone : if you're running, it will answer. Not a very good idea.

[pauljohn54]

How about application specific sensor controls

Example

I am in coreplayer listening to music and I turn by phone 180 degrees to the right and it changes the track to the next one and 180 degrees to the left and its for previous. That way I can listen to music and keep the screen off without turning on the screen to change track and therefore my battery lasts longer

[coBex]

It could be an idea that you could configurate things like this:

- RECORD a shaking gesture, I mean realy press 'record' and do your shake. (eg. shake vertical, shake horizontal, turn 180°, shake in circels, etc...)

- link the shaking gesture you just 'recorded' to a certain application and a certain action within that application. (This could be a fixed list of possibilities, which where givven here in the topic...)

I really like the idea of 'recording' your shakes, it meas you could do your predefined shake no matter in what app. you are to, for example, change your profile, or start your calendar, ....

[sushilange]

@all:

Please test my new version of Diamond Profile Switcher to find optimal settings and sensivity:

Yeah! I thought of that too. That would be awesome!! :D

[sushilange]

The problem is not recording your shaking. The problem is, i have to spend a lot of time for coding an algorithm, because no one is able to repeat his recording exactly a second time! So I have to make a algorithm for comparing your current shaking with the recording. I think I haven't got the time to make this working perfectly.

[Mauser.NET]

I see what you mean. For every move there has to be some form of acceptance before and after the exact move. The smaller the road the more difficult to keep track ;)
Maybe you can share this piece of code with us and we can help?

[SkizZO]

Already purposed HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2392175&postcount=45)

You can also let decide us what type of executable run after a shaking.... and with mortscript we can do anything we want

(i always think to the upper right corner tap, to make working the OK/X button, and into the today screen should appear the taskmanager

[MonteCristoffOn]

Hi all,

Just 2 little thoughts for laugh with this future app...
we will easily recognize every Diamond's user
don't give it to someone suffering from Parkinson

Yes... we definitively must be very careful and tactful...

Stop drinking coffee sushi, just shake your Diam !
And press it again and again...
...until it gives us his quintessence !!!



(thanks again)

;)

[aragornol]

To be honest this shaking application would be great as there is many ways how to use that and make your Diamond shaking all the day ... I wrote some tips which some of them appeared useful but to really tell the truth I don`t need deadly those functions ... the only and one which I would use each day several times is at least unlocking it while shaking I will explain why ...

Diamond screen itself is quite good readable at direct sun but the problem makes it unlock as the screen unlock screen is dimmed. :) then everything`s ok

[ovindahl]

I would like to lock my diamond with shaking. Also if I am getting a call, I want to flip my diamond face-down to mute the ringtone.

[jasminej82]

read sms by shaking would be great!! :)

[MasK]

Does anyone know how the accelerometer works physically? Does it have a little ball or perhaps a mercury ball or something?

Coz shaking the phone too much might reduce it's lifespan...

[horstborsch]

good description:

[Markiej]

Yeah, shake to wake-up and shake again to shut down.

[coBex]

So I have to make a algorithm for comparing your current shaking with the recording. I think I haven't got the time to make this working perfectly.

Found something interesting : http://blog.enterprisemobile.com/2008/07/using-htc-diamonds-sensor-sdk-from-managed-code/

maybe that's the one you already use, I don't know...

Maybe recorded movements should be simplified into predefined en recognisable movements. 'Left', 'Face up', 'Face Down',...
Save the recorded movement in the simplified format. That makes it easier for the comparison with the repeated movement.

I know it isn't all that simple, it's just an idea...

[sushilange]

For shaking it is not possible to use "Face up", "Face down", "Portait" and "Landscape"... i tried that first.

I'm now using the GVector to recognizing movements. With these movements my code try to figure out whether it is something like shaking what you are doing with your device at the moment, or not.

[coBex]

No indeed 'Face up' and stuff is useless in this case, I meant more like the description of a movement : "Going up", "going down", "going left", "forward"...

Don't know if its possible to recognize it that way... I should try it myself perhaps, but time is indeed always a blocking issue

[ben®nie]

Still no new shaking application?:D

[sushilange]

I have to take an examination this week, so new updates of all my apps will come soonest on next weekend.

[mcvpjd3]

I use bluetooth in my car for the phone, however, as battery life is such a big issue with this phone, some way to easily turn on and off BT would be brilliant. So turn on and off BT gets my vote.

[qoka]

although its not as cool as shaking the phone, you can use AE Button Plus to map BT on/off to any key (i for example have it on doubleclick on volume down)

i thin turning with shaking doenst make sense, because the power button ist quicker

the profile switche realy saves time, so lets search for acitons like that^^

So I have to make a algorithm for comparing your current shaking with the recording. I think I haven't got the time to make this working perfectly.

I know this might be far fetched. But I immediately thought about the builtin voice recognition for calling contacts or starting applications by voice commands. This function must have some kind of algorithms for "fuzzy" signal recognition. My thought was that this might have some kind of available API? Or it might not. If it did, maybe you could feed your recorded data in there to do matching.

Excuse my mind wandering if it's way beyond sensible. :)

[dazbradbury]

Hey,

Basically, I think the most useful feature would be unlocking. I would suggest the application "sleeping" when you press the power button, when you press it again to bring the phone to life, it displays a locked screen. To unlock AT THIS POINT, you shake. This will save battery life, and avoid accidental unlocking.

A bit like S2U2, but instead of sliding, you shake!

Every application on a windows mobile device slepp while the device is in standby (display off).

[Petrovitch2]

Thanks both for the proggy and for asking!

I think there must be the set of actions similar to the choice for the hard buttons assigment. The goal is the same - to get it fast, isnt it?

So, take a look at this - http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
to see possible list of actions. They are not all but some the most needed, cose Aleksander, the author's been asked for adding new actions a lot (from me as well :-)

It is also possible to use those programms together by imitating hard button pressing after some special shaking!

No worries man. I am sure everybody can wait for the most awaited app for the diamond. Thanks for all the work you have done for the diamond.

[lestath7]

I would love to see the gsensor making what the light sensor cannot , shutdown the screen only when i put the phone on my ear , you know almost in "sided horizontal" position . Simple as that :-)

[tobyleurs]

Maybe an additional strap is an option so I won't throw my Diamond against a wall or something.

-Answering a Call
-Muting a ringtone when facing the phone down
-Getting the phone out of standby (not possible as you mentioned)

are my most important options for the app. Off course choosing the action that belongs to a shake from a pull down menu would be the best. Thanx for you efforts and keep going on this app because this makes my diamond more of a gadget to show around :D.

[Spike1506]

That`s the option I would like to have.
shaking
1) if in application - close application
2) if in sleep - wake up & unlock if locked

1) if ring - pick up
2) if call - drop call

1) if in tf3d home tab - can choose which application launch by shaking - otherwise switch to home tab (option for defining which tab in case you reorder tab positions witch your config)

1) if alarm / notification / reminder is poped - dismiss

scrolling in pictures, sms, music tab should be done through leaning up/down.
also tf3d tabs should be switched through leaning left / right

pretty much huh ? :))

I would like to see the features in bold, all others are great too. :)

[the_performer]

I also think it would be great, if you can choose between a couple of things if you shake your device.

For example: start a programm (calender: in my job it is important to quick start the calender if someone calls and wants an appointment)

Or the ComManager: 3G Signal is sometimes not very good on the diamond.

Thanks a lot for your great Job till now!

Is someone interesting in testing a very, very early alpha version?

The only feature is to scroll the photos in HTC Album. There are no settings, not autostart and you will see a window of my app, because it is not a background-app at the moment.

The alpha version is only for testing the scrolling and for getting feedback if you think the scrolling working fine.

Sure, send it through! I'm still in the experimenting fase with my diamond and so I don't mind a hard reset or crashes. Happy to try and give feedback...

[9up]

I vote for shake to wake up !

count me as well~~ :)

[Colinvanlier]

Shake to wakeup and shake to close app sounds fantastic! If you can make that happen... wow

[mrjay]

i think a shaking move to unlock the phone will be great.

[slow23]

Hi,

I'm really looking forward to using that app. My first thought was: Custom Command (start any program, the rest can be done from there).

But by thinking more about it some thoughts came into my mind:
What about a list of programs with custom commands.
Album->Swap pic
Manila->Switch to Secondtoday
Secondtoday->Switch back

And a default action to launch for programs not in the list (Actionscreen for me, wifitoggle or whatever)

Think that might be very handy for everybody.

No thing for first alpha but maybe considerable for 1.0.

[sushilange]

If everything is working fine, I will release a first alpha version today.

The reason why it takes so long was:

Everyone who is knowing my Profile Switcher knows, that my tool has a window and have to be run all the time in background. That is not very nice.

Now I made my tool as a Windows Mobile Service. So you have a tool to start/stop the service (after starting the service you can close my tool). The service is running in background and it can also be automatically started on starting windows mobile.

Also the service need only 0.00 to 0.20 % of CPU. The old version was like my Profile Switcher and that need about 3-5% CPU. So you save a lot of battery with my new version :-)

[Blazeitup123]

This app has alot of potential. Can't wait to help.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcP_Q7dQBKw (video is roated 90°...)

[sushilange]

By the way: If you hold you device for 2 seconds in tilting position the fast scrolling begins. You can stop the fast scrolling if you hold you device back in normal position.

For me, the service is notified "Running" but i can't scroll in HTC Album like you in the video.

(I have the HTC stock official rom)

I will try tonight ! Thanks !

[timoline]

Works fine on my device, but it is very sensative.
I hope you can make this also to work with up/down tilting

Great work so far.

[sushilange]

Please more feedback! not only, if you have errors ;-)

[katerini]

-Put the folder in Program files.
-Run the exe and it was working in Album. But not very good.
-Installed the calibrator (first time, wantet to try this one too). Calibration data working.
-Done soft reset.
-Calibration is still there. It is saved on my device.
-Open Album, and the shaker is still there working. But this time much better with the caliration. Almost perfect.
-Shut down diamond, take the battery out, in again and start.
-Calibration still ok.
-Open album, but nothing. Shaker dont works.
-Open the diamond shaker.exe and it says that it still running. I can press only stop, but it don't stops. Start is gray.

The shaker does not work and i can not start it again, because i can press only stop.

[timoline]

hmmm
after a reset it's just like zeldomar said.

It's in Running state, but it's not working anymore.
I also cannot stop the service.

Can you reproduce this?

EDIT: AHA when I start Diamond Shaker Service.exe it's working again:)

[Urosh]

HHmmm... strange!

I was trzing to use it like you do in your video but nothing happend (in landscape mode).
Then while I was shaking it (in portraid mode), it changed the picture in the preview mode... but not always.

I hope this helps!

Is it possible to have a bluetooth on/off on shaking? :) Thnx!!

[sushilange]

@urosh: As I said, it only works in Portrait-Modus not in Landscape-Modus at the moment.

My Video on youtube ist rotated, because I held my camera wrong.

And do not shaking! Just tilting.

---

Did I understand you right, that the Service is automatically started after soft-reset? That's strange, because I didn't implement this...

That's why I not tested what will happen after reboot, yet.

I just copied the files to my diamond, run the service, had fun with HTC Album and after that I stopped the service and everything was working fine.

My G-Sensor is calibrated - not with the tool. I had no problems with my g-sensor still I have my device :-)

So I can't test my tool with a none-calibrated g-sensor.

[katerini]

Why don't you test yourself to make soft reset and see what hapent's.
I don't think that the service start from alone. It's something else. You must know!
I have surce with memmaid to find the service,but nothing.
i have deleted the files from diamond, made soft reset and put it back again.
Still says tha the shaker is running. And i can not stop it.

[timoline]

I tested it again

1. start shaker.exe
2. album works with tilt.
3. soft reset
4. album tilt not working
5. start shaker.exe
6. state is already running. cannot stop service
7. album tilt not working
8. start shaker service.exe
9. album tilt is working again and we can stop the service

PS state should be: stopped not exited ;)

[katerini]

After pressing Diamond Shaker Service.exe then it can stops, and start again. Then the shaker working in Album.

[sushilange]

OK guys, I think I know why it is not working after soft reset and the stat is sill "Running", because the state is saved in registry. If you make a soft reset the service will not be closed and so in registry the "Exited" state is not saved. ;-)

Soft-Reset is like removing the battery.

So in the future, when the Service is running automatically on startup this problem is solved, because the service is really running after soft reset.

[kokos1405]

Damn it!
It doesn work at all!
I copied the files at a folder at my internal storage!
I started the exe(not the service one)
i pressed start
i pressed X
i went to photo album but nothing happens!
Only sometimes it chandes from portrait to landscape!

[sushilange]

Can anyone where it is workin fine make a video? I have no video camera and my old mobile device cam is bad (as seen in my old video).

[jimcallaghan]

Hi, I tried and installed alpha 0.0.1 - many thanks for your efforts so far.
One thing I noticed was that in photo album, there's a fine line between tilting to rotate an image and tilting to swap images. I found if I want to rotate an image to full screen, when I move the phone I end up looking at a full screen image of the next photo in my album as it had also flicked to the next image. Ho do I temporarily uninstall / prevent this while I await for the next release ?
Thanks again... :-)

[neoTheone]

Awesome work Mr Sushi!! I would love to use this tool for other applications like e.g. scrolling in Opera. Thank you so much, can't wait for the upcoming versions!!

[pspgamer]

thanks, nice app, i will try it

[alexsandros]

I vote for shake to wake up !

ME 2!!! Can this be an option! i was thinking about the same thing!

[AndyCollin]

Hey Sascha, I think your app. works great, very stable and accurate. It doesn't miss often. The sensetivety is just good, I like it very much. Only when you try to scroll multiple pictures and you hold it on its side the screen rotation starts interupting, but thats all! Here is a link, check this out, maybe some good ideas for the shaker: http://www.touchxperience.com/
Thanx again! Andy

[HTCDiamond22]

What about adding this to the music player and a coverflow app, would make big news, beats iphone, you can flip through ur music by tilting your phone. the HTC music app & S2p... all best 4 u:)

[A78]

Probs with the diamond shaker, after first install, it worked great.
But i had to restart my phone.

Now the tilt function doesnt work, if i start shaker, it says: running...
and I cant stop it.

What to do? any ideas?

[sushilange]

I made it so, that the fast scrolling through multiple pictures starts after 2 seconds to prevent accidentally scrolling more than one picture.

[neoTheone]

Now the tilt function doesnt work, if i start shaker, it says: running...
and I cant stop it.

This happened to me once. Now its working again. Sushi, any news about updating this wonderful app? ;)

cheers

[A78]

How did you do to fix it?

[neoTheone]

Well.. I don't remember exactly, but I guess I started the "Diamond Shaker Service.exe" manually. Hope this is helpful for you!

[AndyCollin]

I made it so, that the fast scrolling through multiple pictures starts after 2 seconds to prevent accidentally scrolling more than one picture.

But when you're looking a a picture, not the tumbnails, and you want to look at that same picture in landscape, so you turn the phone and then I always go one picture forward or one back but it never stays at the same picture. So I can't switch between portrait and landscape without switching a picture... Don't you have that problem??
Greetz

[AndyCollin]

Hey Sascha, it has gone quiet about you, everything ok bro??

[sushilange]

Greetz

Of course I have this problem too, because the current version not support landscape mode. If you switch between landscape and protrait it is at this moment interpreted as tilting. Just wait for next release ;-)

[cizal]

I vote for shake to wake up !


Shake it to wake it! :P

[WM_69]

sushilange; have you stopped the development of this tool.

[kc1]

Sounds great.

I think the best functionality would be for commonly used functions that are buried too deep to easily get at using the touch screen, or that should be more easily accessed quickly when for example driving, so...

...my vote is for:
Shake to toggle Bluetooth (to connect to my car's bluetooth interface)

Other suggestions:

Two way shake (the other way - e.g. up & down) for a second function

Config panel so you can choose from a number of functions to associate with shake / tilt actions

Maybe is it possible to have a gross tilt movement (e.g. >45deg) instead of the swipe (left-right and/or up-down) for all actions that would otherwise be triggered by a swipe?
- I find swiping particularly unreliable

[mpovolo]

I would love to be able to shake my phone during a phone call which selects the Notes app on the call opening a note for it.

[vanilla_star_8]

it doesnt work with the a theme.. does it?
i just changed my theme and it doesnt work anymore
when i go to the diamond shaker.exe
i cant even stop it
i click on 'stop' but nothing happen

[sushilange]

No! :) Manila Editor has highest priority at the moment ;-)

If you remove your stylus while the phone is in use it opens notepad:)

[xcaninox]

hey, what about, uhhhhhh when you will be on a phonecall, if u shake it, it get mute, shake it again and you get unmute, i don't know seems nice:p

uhhhhh and will be great if you do the samething that you did with ALBUM with the MUSICPLAYER, you know what i mean? musicplayer change music without you touch the screen

one more thing, here the "Diamond Shaker 0.0.1" worked just for 1 day, after a reboot it doesn't work anymore.

also i vote for shake to wake up!!

[Blazeitup123]

hey, what about, uhhhhhh when you will be on a phonecall, when u shake it, it get mute, shake it again and you get unmute, i don't know seems nice:p
you can already mute by flipping over, maybe shake to accept call waiting?!

[algamara]

Which is the correct procedure for unistall shaker appl.
Is not present in list programm for unistall.
Thanks. Forgive my english, I'm Italian.
Ciao

[Krzysiec]

My vote:

MUTE CALL by shake ! Please :) Thank You ;)

[MrCalico]

Can you figure out how to have different Shake, Pound, Knock (top, right, bottom, etc) sensitivity commands? It would be cool to have a set of interesting motion parameters to link into trigger actions. That would be a popular product.

[MariusOX]

I tested Diamond Shaker on RUU Diamond HTC NOR 1.93.409.1 and it do not work...at all.

[silverfire]

+1 for tilting to slide through contacts maybe in iContact?
Josh

[Clownatwar]

Delete my post please :)

[dandans]

For some reason my phone comes up with an unexpected error when i click "start" is there a way to fix it?? yes i am a noob
thanks

[Mr Pink]

Hi, I've got a problem using this software.

I moved all the files to inter stor/my docs/installers/shaker

and i opened and started the app.
then i went to the htc album and it was working fine, except for a one big problem:
i couldn't exit the album.

i tried hadware buttons and touching the screen and even holding the power button on, but nothing happened. the phone wasn't frozen, album worked fine, it just didnt let me exit.

then i did soft reset and the phone was working again but now i can't use the shaker, when i go to the app it says it's running and pressing the stop button doesn't do anything.
so even thou its on but no matter how much i shake it nothing happens.


what should i do t get it work, and if i remove all the files does it leaves any commands running anyway? that might be a stupid guestion but i was thinking that if it's always on and i delete it will it still use diamond.... :D

[DEMODEMO]

hi

1) i like shake SMS - shake device to open new message, when its read shake again to go back to home screen.

it save you having to unlock your device, open message, delete/return, go bak to home screen. .... its very quick and simple.

2) shake to wake-up, when in stanby mode.

[Rijndert]

Sushi the master

[wired69]

Is development on this app dead? I would really like to get something working for my Star Trek communicator idea:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428994

I vote for running a selectable EXE or MortScript, preferably one for each action (shake left, shake right, flip up etc.).

[haran_rulez]

I vote for shake to wake up !

this is just awesome pal, great going, looking more from you...

thanks and it's wonderful...

[Lobsterbob]

I'm also experiencing problems with this app. I have seen it work on a friend's diamond, and application seems awesome. Can someone please explain to me how to delete the app.? It is not listed in teh program list and there is no uninstall file.
All suggestings are much appreciated.
B.

[PSMvD]

Great idea.
+1 Shake to toggle Bluetooth (to connect to my car's bluetooth interface)

Just like the ShakeMe application for Symbian.

Keep up the good work.

[los1223]

Many thanks!

[robertGK]

my HTC doesn't work this application,, why??? can u help me,, coz i like this,,, shaker,,, awesome,,,,!

Error
An unexpected error has occurred in diamond shaker.exe
Selct Quit and then Restart this program,or select details for more information.

it's like that?? why?? :confused:

Thankz,,,,

[alejandro88]

does the Diamond Shaker.exe works in other ppc

[eludor]

I'd like to switch WiFi on and off with shaking...

[Thymos]

I vote for shake to wake up !

Uhh, bad idea ... i think about waking up the phone while
- running
- driving in the car
- riding on train
- falling from a chair
... all situations where i don't want it to wake up.

I'd love a shake-function for dismissing reminders ... early in the morning it's hard to find the location on the touchscreen - just shaking the phone to shut up would be great. Not just with alarm reminders, also with appointments.

[holdemdogg]

works great on my fuze thank you very much

[SlashMarks]

Guy's Is it that hard to Make a Cab file for this fucking App.

[the_scotsman]

Guy's Is it that hard to Make a Cab file for this fucking App.

Is it that hard to follow 3 simple installation instructions???

These guys spend their own free time developing these apps, and give them to everyone for free! I suggest you keep queit :rolleyes:

[lbhocky19]

so what exactly does it do?
i gues no one else is keeping up with it

but i installed. i hit start
and nothing? it should scroll through tf3d right? or anything else?

[DanQ]

Don't let me use my phone with that shaking application if i'm hangovered from drinking the night before. Forget it, i'll be answering calls, changing wallpapers, and God knows what else like crazy.

Hi all,

Just 2 little thoughts for laugh with this future app...
we will easily recognize every Diamond's user
don't give it to someone suffering from Parkinson (or drinking problems)

...

;)

[DanQ]

I know that from stock, if you turn your phone upside down when receiving a call will mute the call. At least mine does it. Is that what you mean?



My vote:

MUTE CALL by shake ! Please :) Thank You ;)

[DanQ]

Pull out stylus to automatically open NotePad during a call. You will probably need it anyway, no?

I would love to be able to shake my phone during a phone call which selects the Notes app on the call opening a note for it.

[Artanis]

The problem is not recording your shaking. The problem is, i have to spend a lot of time for coding an algorithm, because no one is able to repeat his recording exactly a second time! So I have to make a algorithm for comparing your current shaking with the recording. I think I haven't got the time to make this working perfectly.

I see your point. But How about an action screen.. shaking allows one use execution. How about an action screen exe. while in any application. Instead of having to go to home screen and open tab and select application. Just

Shake!
quick menu pops up!
select from list items
Menu disappears.

Awesome. Items can even be customizable ;)

What do you think

[Fuzer]

Shaker is a great concept, but a poor implementation.

Does not work on my Fuze - not sure why (Herg's Black theme maybe?), no time to troubleshoot.

Many, many requests on this forum as to how to delete/uninstall this app, none answered, not a single one!

Does not show up in Remove Programs list.

So, one more time - How do you delete/uninstall this app? Creating a service and using registry entries without an uninstall process is unacceptable!!! :mad:

[charly_mx]
