[ROM][New video demos]Schap's 5.00 ROMs with TouchXperience UI-Call to beta testers

[schaps]

As some of you know, I am currently working on a touch user interface (since more than 10 months), fully compatible with HTC Diamond, it even takes advantage of G-sensor and touch-sensitive control pad, and I plan to develop a 3D user interface in a future version.

I will prepare soon a private beta, and if there is no major issue I would like to release a first public version in about 2 weeks. But please don’t take too much into consideration this date, be aware that contrary to other ROM cookers who only take programs from other ROMs I have developed the whole user interface from scratch, so it’s a really huge work (more than 1000 hours at the moment) and it’s hard to fix a release date.

As for other devices, Diamond ROMs will be multilingual and available in two versions: Full (with TouchXperience User Interface) and Lite (maximal storage space).

I am looking for some motivated and experienced people to participate to this private beta. I need only about 20 people so I will choose first people who could really help me, better is if you have WM cooking or development knowledges. I don’t want to get thousands of messages asking “please please send me the ROM” like it was in the other threads, so please don’t ask me to participate if you don’t have solid arguments. If you are interested, let me a post here (explaining in what you are good, if I don’t know you) and I will contact you later by PM if you are selected.

More info about TouchXperience User Interface and video demos:
http://www.touchxperience.com/ (http://www.touchxperience.com/)


TouchXperience is the Next Generation User Interface for Windows Mobile, finger friendly and highly customizable, it offers many interesting features: program launcher, contacts manager, home screen, appointments, messaging, task manager, profile and event manager, call log, control panel, communication manager,...

TouchMenu is probably the most powerful and customizable menu, replacing original Start Menu for an innovative touch interface. TouchMenu supports finger scrolling and gestures, for example you can switch from a menu to another by sliding your finger left/right, or display context menu by a long press on the screen. You can also scroll menus using G-sensor. Each menu has four different views (large list, small list, large grid, small grid). As the rest of the future user interface, TouchMenu has a nice Vista/WM7 look.
TouchMenu has various built-in menus :
- All Programs (Start Menu replacement)
- Active Programs (Task Manager)
- Recent programs
- Favorite programs
- Settings (Control Panel)
- Documents
- Favorite websites
- Contacts
- Messaging
- Appointments
- Tasks
- Calls (Call Log)
- Communications (Comm. Manager)
- RSS feeds
- Power Actions
- End Actions
- One Touch Settings
But you can do much more by creating your own custom menus where you can add contacts, program shortcuts, website links, system actions (for example: reset device, rotate screen, sound profile, clock, brightness backlight, WMP status,...) or links to other menus. You can also replace icon for each program/folder/contacts/menu with a custom image.
TouchHome is a fully customizable screen where you can add various widgets and graphical elements (clocks, indicators, today items, texts, images,...). By default, TouchHome displays when you turn your phone on. You can make your own graphics and layout using XML. TouchHome can be also used as screen unlocker (unlock screen by sliding finger, by double tapping, by shaking device, using navigation scroll wheel,...).
Use GPS or cell-based geo-positioning to determine current location and create profiles for each location.
Custom Events is a powerful application which execute predefined actions when custom events occur. The principle is simple, each custom event is defined by:
- A basic event (application changed, location changed, new message, new incoming call, battery charging, device cradled, headset connected, Wi-Fi network detected, internet connection detected, ,...)
- Eventually some conditions (date/time, current application, current location, specific words in message, caller identity,...)
- An action (launch application, display notification, enable flight mode, turn on Wi-Fi, change profile, send message, ,...)
There will be hundreds of events and actions, so possibilities are very large! Here are some examples:
- Enable flight mode during nights
- Connect to Wi-Fi while battery is charging
- Deactivate alarm when I turn my device face down
- Put phone in silent mode at workplace
- Remind me to buy bread when I’m near to the bakery
Supports finger gestures on touch-sensitive control pad (experimental, for HTC Touch Diamond/Touch Pro only) to execute different system actions, in this way you can have up to 8 “virtual buttons” on your device.
Supports display auto-rotation navigation using G-sensor (experimental, for HTC Touch Diamond/Touch Pro only).
TouchXperience User Interface is designed for a future usage of hardware accelerated 3D graphics for an outstanding experience!

Good to see you......Let me know what I can do for you

Peace

[makeveral]

very nice shaps! I hope this post will be more serious and wont end like ur thread in hermes forum..

Realease it when it's done! no preasure!

[christonge]

Schaps!!! Count me in mate... great to see you here.

[Blazeitup123]

WOW! i can't wait. Looking forward to your work.

[Cim6]

Cool!!!

Looks great!!!! :)

Tell me if you need a beta tester for this project... :D

[vjsxda]

i would be glad to help

[Garcia]

Sounds really really nice.
If I can be of any help I'll be glad to, comes from Hermes and Kaiser and now has Diamond.
Tried some of your roms before and liked some, but not all, but this seems really exciting.

Garcia

[adwinp]

Network and database admin here (though mostly unix). Lemme know what needs to be done.

^.^


Good luck schaps.

[kalross]

Sounds great. I'm happy to check this for ya.

[AF241]

I'd like to volunteer, I have experience with graphics.

[farzadus]

Count Me In... Deeep Within !!!!!!!!!!! ;)

[Sergio PC]

THANKS!!!!!!! (sorry 4 the caps) but this is coooollll!!!!!:D

[robert_io]

Very Very Good Schap's:)

[Pharaohnough]

Hello mate,
I have cooked (mostly my own) ROMs for Elf, Niki and Cruise so I have considerable background on the components of the WM OS and the overall structure of the devices (not so much the Diamond to be honest as I'm still trying to get to understand its internals).

If you like, I would more than willing to help out with Beta testing whether it's to focus on a specific area or just overall testing. I also have experience in QA so I can pick out little things that need ironing out :D

Cheers from Dubai!

[Huey85]

WOAH! Schaps, this sounds awesome. I'd be happy to beta test your TouchXperience UI. ;) Coming from an iPhone background, I'd love to see more thumb/finger friendliness in our Diamonds.

EDIT: Checked out the site and the screenshots and it looks fab so far :D !

Couple of questions, would there be a new finger/thumb friendly Calendar app? (I totally despise the stock WM one) Also, do you plan on integrating a more thumb friendly keyboard for input? The standard Diamond one is okay but I tend to be a fast typer and because the screen on the Diamond is relatively small, it is prone to keystroke errors and the Diamond keyboard does not have any type of correction method (i.e. as included with the PCM Keyboard - I use this but a lack of VGA skins is highly disappointing).

All in all I can't wait to test this - I thought the Diamond would have been more thumb/finger friendly but tend to find myself pulling out the dreaded stylus now and then.. Something I hoped I could have gotten away from. Cheers for the great effort Schaps!

[Chak]

WOW
Love to test the new interface.

[kangyit]

Schap,

im not a pro in any of these programming. But at least i can sent some moral supports!!
It's a great development:) All the best to you:D

[Honzam]

Very nice :)...I will pleasure, when i test this program...

[ceevee369]

P.S.: I will soon work on a new Advanced Config. version fully compatible with Touch Diamond and Touch Pro. Advanced Configuration Tool V3 will come with a new finger-friendly interface.


@ Schaps, could you look into the possibility to add "default mediaplayer chooption" in order to link Bluetooth devices to other players not forcing to use WMP linked with TF3D .
There is a cab out there from RuffRuff (still need to test it) , but including this possible solution in AdvConfig V3 would be a big added value.

As for the Beta testing , it starts to look like recruting for La Legion etrangere :p (The Foreign Legion)
People want but how many can give ?

Anyway, success with the new UI + Rom combination. Looking forward.

[udayrulz]

Count me in mate .., would be glad to help :)

[djdjo]

Me me me

Great job!

;)

[fraudulent]

This would revolutionize WM.
If I was HTC, I'd hire your ass instantly. This is where the war should be fought: Usability.

[TML1504]

hi!

if you would need another tester, here i am.
i'm skilled and very interested in your work!

regards,
markus

[dynamix]

Hi Schaps,

I would love to be a beta tester. I don’t have cooking experience, though I am a programmer in real live (mainly C#, little experience with mobile device coding from some years ago) I haven’t had time to get into cooking yet (hopefully I will in the future), but I extensively flash my Diamond with custom ROMs (before that my Polaris and before that my Prophet) and am sure I could give you good feedback and bug descriptions that make sense.

Am happy to see the effort you make by tackling such a big task! Keep it up! ;)

[bigruss]

Happy to help, not a cooker but been using roms from xda since the hermes, using windows mobile since 2003 and using PDA's since the Psion 3a. cheers Russ

[duttythroy]

Nice job Shaps , I know you have been working on this since your last kaiser rom so good luck with the new interface:)

[Urosh]

I'm very exited about the product you are developing and I would be happy to donate for such a piece of software which will make my diamond useful.
If it will solve two of mine major problems it would be perfect then:
- battery life (it would be nice if it would resist at least for one day)
- profile switcher with one touch (like PocketZenPhone does)

I hope it will also improve the speed....

I'm not a developer but a manager which would like to use the diamond with all its features... and not to think to switch gprs (while I need a big attachment) on or off because of battery usage.
If I can help in some ways just let me know.

Bye!!

U.

[liamhere]

you where the man for roms on my trinity

more than willing to help with beta if you needed


glad to see you here too :)

[eadon]

Outstanding! Yours heve always been my rom of choice (Hermes, Trinity). Look forward to using TouchXperiance.
Donated in advance.

[teddyen66]

Nice work :-)

Let me know if I can help testing.
Might as well test it on my Athena too :-)

[zyborg]

Sounds fantastic. You can count on my testing services. ;)

[samstar]

i am willing to test, and if you need a translation to dutch for the program i also can translate it.

Greets Sam

[bin862cn]

amazing！ i would like to be one of the testers

[R. DevilR]

I would like to betatest... seems great !!!!!
Why should you choose me ?
1. got a Pocket PC since end of 2001... so, I'm not (yet) touchXperienced... but I can say I'm ppcXperienced ;) (I was ppcfaq.net creator & I'm one of the pocketpcfreeware contributor)
2. love to track/report bugs & purpose some feature (if asked)
3. I don't speak really well english... but I'm french, so... ;)
4. I'm not a cooker, as Diamond is my first hTC... but I'm learning, and hope I'll cook my first ROM soon (not specially for release, but personnal cooked ROM)
5. I'M REALLY MOTIVATEDDDDD ^_^

[amir77a]

Be glad to participate.

Lots of experience for many years.

I can also assist in translation if you wish.

[tony28]

Super boulot schaps, i m waiting this new rom. It sounds great :)
Tony

[pcharouz]

I would also like to test if possible.... :)

[medbrit]

Hi!
your interface seems incredible.
It will be a pleasure for me to test your ROM.

Ton interface a l'air vraiment intéressante, je suis pressé de l'essayer!!

Bon courage!!
Mehdi

[wcg-tom]

sounds great! just donated some money in advance...

looking forward to your work!

[AnnaW]

It seems, some people not read Schap´s preliminary remarks.

I don’t want to get thousands of messages asking “please please send me the ROM” like it was in the other threads, so please don’t ask me to participate if you don’t have solid arguments. If you are interested, let me a post here (explaining in what you are good, if I don’t know you) and I will contact you later by PM if you are selected.

[Narco77]

Great news !

since I got my diamond, I've always been trying to find a way to improve the standard UI, testing many different products (pointui, wisbar, winterface, sbp mobile shell), none of which fully satisfied me, but nevertheless gave me an idea of the fantastic possibilities that could be implemented.

Having worked in the video game industry, I've got some experience in Interface design, ergonomics etc., and also software localization (EN, FR, DE).

I'd be glad to participate in the development of your project, be it as a beta tester or later on, as a contributing user.

Bon courage !

[aSeeker]

Hi Schap,

I'm an experienced dev on Windows and Linux with Pocket PC dev experience with gps enabled apps (parking tickets :S).
I've worked on the complete dev cycle for 20 years - from design, implementation to testing and support.

If you're looking for somebody who can test, explore and write up well written issues - let me know.

Regards,

aSeeker.

[AssimilatorX]

UU can Count on Me is well since i got 2 diamonds now one is dead but i hope there is still hope. i only can flash signed roms i used your works on my hermes before and i was really hapy wth them this hermes is on the oter side now your was the favorit 4 me i only have crking experience but not for wm.
THX.

[uniqueboy]

Love to use, hate to test. Don't choose me I suck, I can only dream and chop wood! Your project sounds huge and awesome, how one man con do more than the worlds leading smartphone company, wow!

[Stingray66]

As always I would be happy to test your application or ROM, sir.:D

[mikkelnl]

Not much of a dev, but I work in the field of usability and interaction design, and I'd like to test your future rom :)

[sev7en]

I am here... ready for duty! I'll pleased to join in... ^_^

[mrjay]

me too i want in :D :D

[ComPas-V]

Donated some ....
Not asking to be the beta tester ... just do not have time...
But looks you will have enough.

The Idea is great : all in one with nice and friendly UI.
My two cents are : do not try to make ALL in ONE. The one could be too small for all.. Just really necessary things should have the quick access. The best interface is minimal. The "nice-to-have" things will force you to make more flexible (more generic) solution - and it will lead to lack of resources (any of them). After all it's windows. ouch ... it's already dollar ;)

Any way - the idea is BIG!!! Good luck!!!!:D

[schaps]

I made some video demos, you can take a look on TouchXperience website:
http://www.touchxperience.com/ (http://www.touchxperience.com/)

[vjsxda]

[gaabrysz]

[makeveral]

Amazing work!! it's incredible its better than all interfaces i've seen made by HTC, sony ericsson or whatever!! KEEP IT UP!!!!

[Sergio PC]

Wooowww:D
This keeps on getting better.
We are all riding a nicee wave!

[thaithug]

Count me in for beta tester. I am a Thai user (asian UTF-8/16 user). If anything I can help to support you can count on me.

Forgot, I'm DIAMOND user

[Honzam]

I donate 15 eur...nice jobs...I'm enjoying on test version and test program

[rvbcrs]

Damn man that is looking great! Please count me in if you need help!

[tararura]

Great UI. Lots of work into it. Will wait for the beta . Good luck.......

[sumitescp]

This is superb.
Thanks for the great work.
HTC will definately get jealous of this thing, I think they will offer you to sell this app to them.

I can help for testing if you need it ofcourse.

[iwan_app]

Great work.

[sushilange]

I saw the videos and have two questions:

1.: Is it right, that you have to touch the middle button to activate scrolling with gsensor?

2.: DOES THE DIAMOND HAVE TWO TOUCHSCREENS??? I saw that you made gestures on the hardware buttons to run applications?! How can we access the second touchscreen?

[yossileh]

Hi Schap

I have about 7 years experience in using ppc's in all various flavours (o2,imate htc,hp etc)
I now have a brand new HTC diamond and am using swift's custom rom 4.0.

If you want an experienced users perspective I can definately lend you a hand.

Joe

[smogdragon]

Hi Man,
Experienced dev (new on winmo devices, but learning), htc addicted since htc wizard, here to serve ;)

[Wiebbe]

omg.. This is one serious application/rom! I am looking VERY forward to seeing how this turns out! This is how HTC should deliver their tools :P

Perhaps they would like to buy it :P

[felix69]

Hi Scaps,

I just saw your videos and your work appears as one of the most incredible ones.

I cannot wait to see your beautiful customization running on my Diamond!

Congratulations for your effort and your enviable skills!!!

[thaithug]

await for the great

[ChiefmasterB]

1. Were did you see the videos? Can´t see vids on TouchXperience page ...

2. @Schaps: If you need an "average experienced" user - you´re welcome...:)

[marco899]

Based on the video's and you're work i have made a donation. It was not possible to enter my username so my email adress is onbekendmarco at hotmail.com

[Kridek]

Hi.

You can count on me for your Beta! It seems you have implemented all we want to have on our Diamonds ;-)

[TheWizzard2203]

@Shaps: I think it's really amazing what you're working on. Pretty unbelievable how much knowlegde you must have to produce this kind of work.

Can't wait to get it and use it. But, are you planning this as some sort of upgrade on current roms or is it integrated into a complete rom with everything already in it.

[boinger66]

i can help test if needed

[nowaard]

Hey, maybe it could be usefull a spanish betatester, I will be glad to test your new rom.

[Franceschiello]

schap's ROM are everytime good.

my diamond come this week (i hope) and I will try sure.

[creation]

[helpme]

would love to help to beta test your new TouchXperience UI.

[Mike Wagstaff]

Plenty of experience in software development (C#, Java, PHP) and lots of PPC experience (since the original iPAQ), so I would love to help out with what looks to be an amazing project.

I'm heavily involved in major software rollouts in real life as well, so hopefully I'll be able to add value! ;)

[JanDaMan]

just checked out your videos, and just had to commend you on the fantastic looking and functioning interface...

[ThunderRoad]

Simply....It's amazing, never seen something similar....

Thanks,

[sutt359]

Count me in ive been using your roms for the past year for the TYTN II, ive install it on over 20 of my work devices and no one has found any problem. your work has always been topnoch

Its just me at the moment with a Diamond, hopefully soon we will be getting some for me to test on.

Thanks Kev

[freakdahouse]

If you need help for translation to portuguese, you can count on me.

[flavien]

I would like to participate to this beta ROM program.

I am an IT since 9 years. My job is Microsoft System Ingenior.
My work is to help developers to implement software (database, application, infrastructure).

I propose you to test this ROM and i will write a general reports about feeling and bugs.

From my point of view, i am a "perfect" user, a good technician, and happy to help this community.

Flav'

[htcfanboi]

Hello, I have done quite a bit of work with the mobile phone UI as i did some designing of the symbian s60 feature pack 2...

hopefully i can help you out with your ROM


THANX

[Dj!pOner]

Very Good job Schaps!!

J'ai vraiment hate de pouvoir tester ça sur mon Diamond car c'est tout bonnement hallucinant!!

;)

[Blazeitup123]

The last 3 videos on your page seem to be broken or removed.
edit: NVM, seems to be fixed! :)

[the_maker]

Mate, u are a genius.. If u need any help for the graphics, I’m a designer and I offer my services for free.. If u need anything, just PM…
Keep up the great work!

[timn2087]

Schaps the navigation using accelerometer is so awesome! It would be a privilege to be involved in beta!

[zmob123]

You need a beta tester, you got it!!! I cannot wait, and ready to provide full feedback on the the ROM and with all apps I am using on the Diamond (quite a few).

[adilkhan1214]

I have probably went through over 10 roms last week so everything is fresh in my head, you need a beta tester.... let's just say i'm familiar with flashing... oh and i donate to good rom developers

[dave94o]

Count me in,I will try and give feedback

[evilpuppy]

me too. send me

[Kraize]

It seems that most of the people who have posted have ignored schaps post where he asks:

"I don’t want to get thousands of messages asking “please please send me the ROM” like it was in the other threads, so please don’t ask me to participate if you don’t have solid arguments. If you are interested, let me a post here (explaining in what you are good, if I don’t know you) and I will contact you later by PM if you are selected."

I'll repeat what this good man said. Even though he's a junior member he seems to have extensive knowledge. (Haven't seen a non junior noob in a while lol) But seriously people. Stop hijacking this thread. Schap wanted beta testers that have some knowledge so they could help develop his nice interface. Not people who just want to go, "Send it to me :D" and then they install and run it happily because they didn't want to wait and forget about Schap like he never existed. Guys. You'll get it when the time's right. Until then, please refrain from posting "I want to beta test!" unless you have a solid reason. I'll admit, I want to beta test too, but since I have no knowledge in anything besides a little programming and some graphichs editing, I wouldn't be much help. Schap want's a person that will be able to help him. So I'd say half the people who said "I want to beta test" are not those people. I'm not flamming you. I'm just saying, if you read the first post and half the people that posted have -100 posts T.T I mean at least give a reason why. Just my 2 cents :D

[rvdgeer]

One word:

WOW!!

:eek:

[rvdgeer]

And a question: :)
How are you planning to release this?
Will there be a cab available, or are you only planning to only release ROMs with the app built in?

Hope to see a public beta soon, but no rush...
Just make sure it's as great as it look snow :D

[AnnaW]

I´m sure, Schap will ignore this kind of people. Absolute useless for him.

[ady_uaic]

that's really fantastic. i love schaps rom's. i had on my p3300. today i'm owner of diamond, and i'm waiting this rom. when will appear?

[psyco18]

count me in please :)

[Kraize]

To answer people's questions. I think from what I gather (and a little common sense lol) Schap wil probably release a public rom after he finds testers, they download and use, report back, and he does some modding and then hopefully. Or we can go straight to public beta, but I don't think that would go well. But he has planned this for a very long time so I'm sure Schap will make no mistake. I see a great future in his work. Maybe he'll make a commerical version and become rich :D

[dvl]

If you still need an extra tester, here i am.. loads of experience with betatesting usabilty for MS and Symantec :D

And of course years of rom updating through xda-developers haha

--Ik hoor het wel-- :rolleyes:

Dennis

[cio]

Here you have an spanish betatester with time to test many things. I have a lot of experience in IT (it's my job, and I love it) and also I can help you in translating the spanish rom. I've a tytn.

PS: We love your roms ! :D

[riverer]

This looks pretty amazing, your really showing the HTC guys how it should be done!


Just like to echo the question someone else asked, any chance of a CAB for the new interface as well as it being inside ROMS?

[thorin31]

Hi, you can count me !!!:D

Great work !

[thorin31]

And if you want, I propose you to translate it in French :p
(Your program, not the whole ROM :D)

[HerrVorragend]

I've seen the videos... great work! I would love to test your ne rom / TouchExperience UI.

And if you need some programming help (for new PlugIns or something like that)... let me know

[ady_uaic]

if you want, and if you can and have time, you can translate in romanian. i'm here to help you.

[R3PUBL1K]

This seems like an interesting project - I don't cook yet (or develop) though I would like to particpate as I'm often testing configurations and compatibility issues of applications before role out to 10,000 users, so can provide feedback from a users point of view and since its holiday time here I have nothing to do until september.

[farzadus]

Hey Schapps ... after the Advanced Config Tool... im sure this thing will not be that big a task for you... im here if any support is required in terms of grafix or design... may not be as good as u but i can do a bit too... Count me in for testing ;) and when is this thing likely to hit the forum??? :)

[bgds]

this video is cool, i would like to become one of the beta tester if i can, thanks

[Icer2008]

i could be another beta tester, if you want :) i'm french too.

see ya !

[bing69]

@+:rolleyes:

[elivo]

Great Job Schap's. I have tested your work on a HTC S300 and i really like what you do.
If you need a beta tester...i'm yours ;) (but i think you have enougth :p )

Continue like this.

[rtao]

Please count me in if possible.....
I just love your Rom, Schap, back in the Hermes, I have been using your Rom for a long long time... :)

[marco899]

Well almost 120 post from people who want to be a betatester, but how many has give the man a donation for this wonderfull rom?

[zmob123]

I'm more into graphical design, but would love to test the ROM through heavy usage, I spend a few hours a day going through the diamond, it's apps, applying the new ROMs, and going through the usage with 3rd party apps. I spend a lot of time using the Diamond daily, I can go through it in great detail and provide solid "user" feedback finding bugs, and detailed use info. Just the need the chance to be involved to further my cooking abilities.

[sumitescp]

I just want to know, is anybody already testing it?
If yes what is the status? bugs, public beta release time, or full rom release time, etc just to know how long users will have to wait.
BTW donation comming 6th of August, pay day. Thanks for the greaaattttt work.

[solecin]

i´m spanish girl with a diamond and i´ll be very glad to test it!

[Wolfblood]

Hi schaps,

Nice to meet you, I 've looking your TouchXperience UI a long time ago. :)

I come from Hong Kong (ASIA) and good handel the ASIA area (China / Taiwan / Hong Kong) config and layout (Like Fonts / IME)

Hope I can give you some help :)

See you later

[efjay]

schaps, any chance this will be released for other phones like the Samsung Omnia and take advantage of its accelerometer, even as a paid app? I checked the videos and it looks very, very good and I'm sure it would sell a bucketload. Thanks.

Edit: also if it would help I can provide the Omnia accelerometer exe. Thanks.

[dejant_9]

WOW that's good! many french users here! shaps, i had a trinity and i already love your job. now i've a diamond and i'm very happy to see you here! no problem to try your beta rom! and ready for a donation, i like to pay for good job like that..

[Blue Ice K4]

hi! if you want i can help you in beta testing, i actually have 1 Diamond, 1 Tytn and 1 Touch Dual, i'm italian and if you need i can help in an future translation of program/rom... bye! :) :cool:

[vphk]

Hello Schap,
I am an IT proffessional with 1 HTC Diamond. I would like to test your UI and I can translate TouchXperience UI into Czech language.
Bye

[lembeee]

Hello Schap,
I am an IT executive @ a mobile operator and would like to test your UI on the touch Diamond.
Thanks

[dave94o]

So when can this be released?

[Narco77]

Schap, do we have to kidnap your dog/cat to get more info about your very very promising mod ? When will it get released ? How much will it cost ? Will it play Farcry ? So many questions...
With this huge crowd of competent and motivated beta-tester/fans from all around the world begging for your approval, how does it feel to be the creator of one of the most anticipated product of the year ?

;)

[schaps]

Private betatesters should get the first beta during the following 10 days (if all is alright), then public beta should be released shortly, depending on feedback and reported issues.

Be aware that first beta versions may be different from the one I introduced on videos, some functionalities are still under development and some new feature will be added. For example I added a nice battery/memory meter on top of the screen, led notifications customization on Diamond, and vibration feedback.

http://i38.tinypic.com/6fo0ue.png

TouchXperience should be 100% free (in the past I hesitated to make a commercial product so you can see I'm not doing it for money!) but all the time I invest in this project has a price, so I plan to support and continue development of my UI as long as I get donations for it. I would like to thank people who already donated! :)

This may be interesting, but TouchXperience UI is deeply integrated in system and is designed for HTC hardware, that's why it is restricted to some devices at the moment and why it is integrated into ROMs especially optimized for TouchXperience. But I hope to support more devices in the future and I would gladly do it if I can get an hand on Omnia.

[rl2000]

Wow... just wow... Schaps, you're making interface changes that should have been there in the first place.

Just wow....

[Wishmaster89]

If I would won on the lottery few days back I would donate you even 1,000 euros :p (you earned this money with all the hard work you are doing for us) but unfortunately I didn't so I have to wait till next month and then will donate you :)

Have you already decided on the beta testers? I really want help test this UI, simply amazing, a complete ROM in my opinion, you finished were HTC left off.

[o.deruyter]

Dude this is Hot!!! Cant wait for it to be released this is just how the Diamond should have been, great work!

[Narco77]

There are some good ideas in Winterface. OK, at least one good idea.
For example, the Icons can be reorganized by dragging them around, and the way they tremble is very cute !

Hi Schaps!

I know that you don't have a lot of time to read some stupid posts like mine for single requests... but anyway... for me a very important thing is to have a profile switcher at one touch like PocketZenPhone integrated (it defines all the sounds, vibrating, bluetooth on/off, etc.). It is very important for users like me (managers) who needs to change profiles very often and just with one touch.
I'll persuade some managers to donate to you for this software if you do so :)
I'll start donating first :)

Thanks in advance!!!

P.S. You are doing really a great job!!!

Uros

[bau33]

very impressive interface. I will be proud if i can help you with various ideeas
(im a big fan of wm6 phones and ergonomy)

[htckaiseruser]

Would love to see this working when its finished. as usual,keep up your great work:)

[outkasted]

m8 count me in on the testing....
btw love this product looking forward to donating for it once i get my hands on it

[Huey85]

one of the best things about this is that you have not replaced TF3D with your UI, but you have incorporated both and have pretty much removed the need to go anywhere near the plain,boring and absolutely non-finger/thumb friendly WinMo UI. You truly understand usability and user-friendliness methodologies. Big ups for you mate *thumbs up* Waiting very eagerly to test this badboy.

Profile manager is planned, but I'm not sure it will be in first version as I don't think I will have time, so mayb a bit later.

[R3PUBL1K]

When do you expect to release a public beta?

[schaps]

I would like to replace HTC theme with "flat" black bars by a new one with glossy black bars (like Vista task bar), what do you think? Does anyone have such a theme to try?

[schaps]

When do you expect to release a public beta?
As I said earlier mid-august, depending on betatesting feedback and reported bugs.

[Huey85]

I would like to replace HTC theme with "flat" black bars by a new one with glossy black bars (like Vista task bar), what do you think? Does anyone have such a theme to try?

I have a blue one in the form of a .tsk file but I can probably troll around looking for a black one. Let me know if you'd like a blue one for variety and I can upload it here in an attachment.

EDIT: attached are glossy variants in grey [closest I could find to black w/out tweaking] and blue..

EDIT 2: attached another zip with glossy black tsk (which is really grey) and a executable file which will turn your bars into REAL glossy black. Just copy and paste the tsk file into my documents/windows folder and run the .exe file from wherever you like from within your device. credits go to ericc191 of xda-devs.

[EMINOTAUR]

Hi, I like very much that type of screen, (picture under the sea with analogue watch), how to make that screen?, (it is like that, without any borders only on standby?)
so is it screensaver or what, how to enable this

thank you

This is functionality of Schap's TouchXperience UI.. cannot be done out-of-the-box with the Diamond. I'm assuming it is the home lock-screen, because when he does a 360 degree spin using the virtual scroll-wheel, it unlocks.

[Semi666]

Hats down Schaps that must be hell a lot work you already did.. Ill send you some donation asap :) Well done

[triklops]

seriously, this sh*t is THE BOOOOMB !!!
Thanks for all that hard work even though it's not out yet !!

Will it include a finger friendly Alarm clock or sth !?

[cio]

For those people who can't wait, and wanna test and interface (similar, but with less possibilities), can try this app:
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx

also Master Schap's ;) , please take a look, because maybe it gives you some hints to improve your rom.

That's a free app, and runs very fast. Thank's Schap's for spend you holiday time making us happy. :)

[wharfrat]

This is superb.
Thanks for the great work.
HTC will definately get jealous of this thing, I think they will offer you to sell this app to them.

I can help for testing if you need it ofcourse.

Whatever Schap's has between himself and HTC is his business. ROM's like his always stands up on their own.

Having been a Schap's exclusive user for a few years now, being stuck with AT&T rom (only kidding) would love to give your new version a whirl which we all know will be the REAL rom when released.

Remember Schap's works hard so DONATE what you can.

Wharfrat

[schaps]

Thank's Schap's for spend you holiday time making us happy. :)
Who said I had holidays? Unfortunately I have only night time to work on it... :(

There are a lot of launcher programs around like MortButtons or Launch Manager which wait 1-2 seconds before showing up.

The third one is what I was looking for, but I think it's still too grey to suit nicely with touchflo 3D. I've tried to make a pure glossy black theme, but color basehue allows only grey colors, too bad!

p.s.
Did U already get your 20 people to start the beta test? Hope I can join for it :)

Guys I have bad and good news... My PC crashed and I could not get it working again or recover any data, due to hard disk failure. But I use to make copies of my projects so I didn't loose so much work, and I should get soon an old PC that I could at least continue working on TouchXperience.
So release date will be certainly delayed of some days...

Hi Schaps, if you want, I can give you access to one of my personal FTP server ( at free.fr ) with 5 Gb of space for the backups and downloads :)

Very useful in case of crash !

I have just see one thing, I'm french too and from Nancy too :eek: !

So as a power user, I want to be in your beta test, and if we could meet one day, why not ? :D

when you release rom ?

[ND4SPD]

could you also use data recovery software for the failed hard drive? once you have software, you need to put the failed hard drive as the slave in your older PC. You can then get all data of the failed-hard drive PC

[Kraize]

when you release rom ?

Dude...seriously...did you not read the two posts above yours?

[Kraize]

This is not related to your rom, but for your website (TouchXperience) What did you use to display the images like that?

Damn, sorry to hear about the PC crash Schaps. Good thing you were IT-knowledgable enough to make backups of your work. I know a lot of IT people who are just so ignorant to not make backups and blame technology for them losing data, when they should have known that things like PC crashes/hacks/etc can potentially happen as a end result of using technology.

Big ups for your continued hard work and hope to see the end-result of your hard work soon. I'm still in the process of brainstorming more ideas that could help contribute to your TouchXperience UI and will let you know when I have more constructive ideas.

[Wishmaster89]

I noticed that on your website you said
TouchXperience User Interface is designed for a future usage of hardware accelerated 3D graphics for an outstanding experience!
does that mean that it uses diamonds graphic chip(or will use in future versions) or that only handsets to come will only benefit from HW acceleration?

I'd love to test it for you.

[demirdag]

Hi Schap!

I'm new to this site but not to ppc's. I'm a fan of iphone-like devices and think this Diamond is the closest thing to it. But when I saw your videos on your site I thought that this Diamond can actually be a better choice than the big iphone.

I would really like to test your ROM. I'm not a dev. I'm not in the field of design and things like that. Just a simple network administrator who loves his Diamond.

What I am good at is thinking of new ideas to implement, test a user interface and judge if it is any good (as far as I've seen your interface looks really cool!!).

A lefty friendly interface would be great as the current TF3D is not really friendly for left handed people

[Kayzar]

I'd like to apply as a beta tester. I'm atm studiying as a computing engineer. Let me know if i can be of any service.

[Confucious]

I'd like to apply to be a beta tester.

My speciality is doing really stupid things and not reading instructions.

I don't have a Diamond so you'll either have to provide me one or re-write it to work on the Athena......

It does look rather good. Keep up the good work!

Good luck.

[aydc]

If you need another Diamond tester count me in. My first device was a Himalaya and since then I've cooked and flashed countless ROMs on many different HTC devices. I've also used every kind of program launcher and task manager out there so I think I can give you valuable input about how to make your program better.

Hi !
If your looking for more beta testers, you can count on me !
I'd be glad to help you make this UI a great Xperience ;)

Hi Shaps,

First, thanks for all your great work. Your ROMs are awesome. I have an idea for a custom event/profile manager. This is a rather long reply, so if you already have a design please disregard. This is similar scheme to network/system management projects I worked on. I am not sure exactly what you are looking for, but I hope you can use some of this.

regards
J

1) Phone objects
Each phone object exposes a list of values that can be queried and retrieved by the profile manager. These phone object values may be tied to the system registry.

2) Events
An event trigger consists of
- trigger name
- the interval to look for that trigger
- a query to a value belonging to a phone object, whether a specific value for that phone object crossed some threshold.
For example. Query some GPS value every 30 seconds and beep when you hit that value.
- an action to take when the threshold is crossed

3) Actions
- what to do -
- canned notifications
- record a list of keystrokes and save it into an action

4) Profile Manager - consists of a list of events
- manage events, actions,

Hi Shaps!!

I hope you've got your computer and all the data back!

I'd like to ask you if it is possible to implement in the Phone menu (when you are dialing a phone number - the right soft key) the paste function.
It was present in my past htc pda phones, but it is not present in diamond.
I don't know how to paste a number that for example I copied from an internet page or from a calendar... the function is not in the menu anymore.

Thnx!!

Next in french:

Je fais de la qualification allant des tests manuels(terminaux/programmes tiers), jusqu'aux analyses de consommation électrique.J'ai aussi une formation de développeur (particulièrement .net) et je suis passionné par l'informatique en général.

On peut discuter en PM de tes besoins actuel en terme de test. Je serais content de participer à ton projet :)

[R3PUBL1K]

Read the topic title: "call to beta testers" If the man needs input than he can always ask for it, but i think he wants to deal with the first bugs before asking suggestions.

I agree - a Mod should close this (out of hand topic) Once Schaps is back online and confirms this, as I too am feed up looking at the posts :D

[schaps]

I never said beta testing was closed, I'm still looking for experienced beta testers on Diamond, and this thread is open to suggestions regarding TouchXperience UI.

But please I don't want here such useless posts "add me to beta testers list", "please send me TouchXperience", "when will t be released?", "hurry!" like the hundreds (maybe thousands) messages posted in the different threads I had to read, which is a waste of time for me and an annoyance for people who are following the thread. When I open a topic concerning my projects, I always hope for a constructive discussion, but it's full of useless posts...

And be aware that beta version means unfortunately buggy. There shouldn't be any risk to damage your device, but some bugs could cause global system instability, so the first beta is really not intended for end users but only for experienced testers who would like to help me to solve eventual bugs. And as I said, I plan to release a public beta shortly if there is no major issue.

I would like to finish the first beta version during this week-end, I will contact people selected for private beta as soon as it is ready.

[alncool]

I'm wondering about a thing, since i'll go in vacation tomorrow and i would not be able to flash my device during that period... But i'll be able to connect on the web.

will your application be available as a cab file for beta tester?

Excellent work on the TouchXperience. I am a programmer myself and I admire people that spend their personal time to develop something this useful for the community. I have created my own ROMS in the past but not at this extent. I would love to test for you.

I'm testing a lot of ROMs(both originals and cooked) for Diamond, and would love to betatest this. :)

[Bucci]

Schap - please what about time horizon of release? Looking forward to TouchXperience UI

[athanaso77]

I would suggest for all of us to be more patient... TouchXpereience UI is something completely new and needs much more time than the usual.

[htcfanboi]

Hi Shaps,


Your work seems already well done, but if you need someone to beta-test it, you can send me a PM.

I'm also from France, and I'm developping a tool on my Diamond using the Gsensors, so I know it a bit.

Good luck, and again, nice work.

Bye

As some of you know, I am currently working on a touch user interface (since more than 10 months), fully compatible with HTC Diamond, it even takes advantage of G-sensor and touch-sensitive control pad, and I plan to develop a 3D user interface in a future version.

I will prepare soon a private beta, and if there is no major issue I would like to release a first public version in about 2 weeks. But please don’t take too much into consideration this date, be aware that contrary to other ROM cookers who only take programs from other ROMs I have developed the whole user interface from scratch, so it’s a really huge work (more than 1000 hours at the moment) and it’s hard to fix a release date.

As for other devices, Diamond ROMs will be multilingual and available in two versions: Full (with TouchXperience User Interface) and Lite (maximal storage space).

I am looking for some motivated and experienced people to participate to this private beta. I need only about 20 people so I will choose first people who could really help me, better is if you have WM cooking or development knowledges. I don’t want to get thousands of messages asking “please please send me the ROM” like it was in the other threads, so please don’t ask me to participate if you don’t have solid arguments. If you are interested, let me a post here (explaining in what you are good, if I don’t know you) and I will contact you later by PM if you are selected.

More info about TouchXperience User Interface and video demos:
http://www.touchxperience.com/ (http://www.touchxperience.com/)


P.S.: I will soon work on a new Advanced Config. version fully compatible with Touch Diamond and Touch Pro. Advanced Configuration Tool V3 will come with a new finger-friendly interface.

could you include me in the testing mrnguyentuantai@yahoo.com

Hey Schaps

I would be worthless as a beta tester but nevertheless I would just like to add that I'm looking very much forward to your ROM, it looks awesome, I can hardly wait :)

Any update on your progress, possibly a pushed release date?

[htcfanboi]

this thread is becoming quit quite which is good... cause schaps may be finishing up on his ROM

or somthing

[just_true]

I never said beta testing was closed, I'm still looking for experienced beta testers on Diamond, and this thread is open to suggestions regarding TouchXperience UI.

But please I don't want here such useless posts "add me to beta testers list", "please send me TouchXperience", "when will t be released?", "hurry!" like the hundreds (maybe thousands) messages posted in the different threads I had to read, which is a waste of time for me and an annoyance for people who are following the thread. When I open a topic concerning my projects, I always hope for a constructive discussion, but it's full of useless posts...

And be aware that beta version means unfortunately buggy. There shouldn't be any risk to damage your device, but some bugs could cause global system instability, so the first beta is really not intended for end users but only for experienced testers who would like to help me to solve eventual bugs. And as I said, I plan to release a public beta shortly if there is no major issue.

I would like to finish the first beta version during this week-end, I will contact people selected for private beta as soon as it is ready.




Good day man i love your work , still looking for experienced beta testers on Diamond , I'm ready on Diamond

[Riel]

Hia Schaps,

is it an idea to use the touchpad at the bottom to navigate the menu's as an option? Small gestures like up/down left/right can easy be made on one of the two pads.

[ZeuBug]

It would be interesting to try this! :)
But when??? :confused:
Since July 27, I'm waiting for! :D

[ceevee369]

i'm asking to be beta tester... i can mainly to test the compatibility with reading/writing chinese characters.

You got my support +1 vote - for the sake of making the UI Chinese translated :)

[lennysh]

I'd love to test this on the Axim X51v. I have 5 PPC's, and can build ROMs.

[cucciolo1966]

io ci sono ....

i'm ready...

bye

[sumitescp]
