Tried the Alpha on my HTC Prophet with WinMo6, doesn´t work..... :-(

Says something like "Graphic Driver doesn´t support a back-buffer"...

Unfortunately, I didn't design the code to be fully compatible with all existing hardware. (not to mention the existing resolutions...). For the time being I'd say that this is not our first priority, but the xml configuration file in the next release will improve flexibility a lot.

Having said that, I'm a little surprised that there's no backbuffer on the HTC Prophet, since it's a very common video feature.

[Guest Dextro]

Wow guys, just Wow!!

i Hope those GFX can be installed on my omnia, no hurry guys, this stuff looks off the hook big up

[Guest DJRedLine]

Looking good

tried the Omnilock and really impressed. Any way of putting it as the default lock or assigning it to a button?

[Guest ferrari85]

Just tried the omnilock, works very well. I think after some performance tweaks and stuff, it'll be awesome. Potentially, it can replace the s2u2 B) Exciting times indeed B)

[Guest regster]

very very exellent B)

[Guest rusorusi]

Excellent great job. B)

Hi Hellbender,

Your design had brought up lots of interest to Omnia owner, even in China...

There is a forum discussing about this project.

I was thinking to share the lock screen demo version in the website which they are discussing about this project.

http://www.kingmobile.net/bbs/thread-28305-1-1.html

Hope from there they can dig in more and continue the development and at least we have another forum which help on this, what do you say? if yes, please send all the code and necessary photo to me and i will help to translate and post it there to ask if any coder can help on that.

What i worried is they will change it into chinese version hahahaaaa......

p/s: i am not a coder, but i surf all the forum which related to Omina to look for cool things.

Hope this can help to speed up the cool omnia own UI.

Rgds,

Unfortunately i'm not able to understand chinese B)

BTW actually i'm not interested in localizing the interface, we have plenty of more urgent things to do, and keep in mind that localization in this case will mean redoing some art, not just changing language inside an xml.

You can certainly post the demo on that forum, reporting your source (MoDaCo) in it.

Actually i'm a little worried about spreading this thing too much at this stage of work, i was thinking to let even go the thread I opened on XDA.

I need to keep a direct relation (instant messenger) with the coders to explain my ideas and to discuss workarounds and possibilities, and I need persons that have a working span similar to mine and can write a decent english.

At this time i'm dealing with 1,5 peoples at a time, soon they could be more.

Let's just wait and see how it goes.

[Guest septic]

do you think a straight slide would be better ?

using one hand its difficult for me to unlock it.

[Guest sector]

yes it is a bit diff to unlock B) but really nice. maybe from up down can be easier? or from left to right like S2U2

great work guys keep it up.

We will tweak (increase) the "sensible" zone of the slider to be more forgiving.

Btw it's easily unlockable with just the thumb, holding the phone with the same hand.

just had an idea .... make the slide with two options :

- right handed => slide from botton left to top right

/

- left handed => slide from botton right to top left

\

this is the default direction a normal finger goes... Lets be inovative and user friendly...

in which language r u programming ? i would like to help if possible.

[Guest o0joe0o]

guys,this is amazing!i don't have problems unlocking the phone with just 1 hand.

[Guest Gibeon]

Holy crap, this is freaking awesome! I looks so perfect! Even watch the clock counting is a pleasure! I already assigned it to a hardware button B)

I appreciate your enthusiasm but i suggest you to not be using it 'cause actually calls cant pass thru the lock. We will adjust this as soon as we introduce the id calling screen.

[Guest Gibeon]

Im using it as secundary lock, first OmniLock, then Windows lock B)

Sms notification is working like a charm too B)

Edit: Ok, 2 locks isnt working, Ill have to wait, but still love it!

[Guest lutharigno]

great work! I'm glad to see things are moving again.

[Guest brainy85]

Looks perfect and works very good ....

really great work!!

i love you design !

Keep up the good work!

[Guest Gibeon]

I'm using it for one day now, it is simply the best lockscreen ever made!

And, I made some HTC users very jalous, the same way they made me jalous of touchflo3D, but when this is finished, it wil beat everything!

[Guest Gregy1403]

guys .. crazy job you're doing!!!!!!

UPDATE 03/12/08 - Images added + Lock Screen Demo

Hey all,

i've been following the board for a little. I'm an lucky Omnia owner and i really love it, particularly it's versatility.

I just regret the lack of cool interfaces (put Manilla 2d aside, it's awesome, but it's like having an htc device on our phones, not very exclusive).

Here are some quick layouts of an idea I had today, it's practically just eyecandy stuff, maybe not the top usability around but, you know, in our life we must satisfy ourselves...

So here they are, a portrait and a landscape view of what's laying in my mind:

the home screen design:

the audio profile control:

the lock device screen:

Programs folder:

Contacts page:

the idea is to have a spinning wheel of icons, that allow to navigate between the main ambients of a mobile shell when tapped, just like SPB mobile shell or manilla, only more "graphic". The thing is conceived to be touch driven, with hrizontal sliding to spin the icons wheel and a vertical slide to access a secondary menu.

Actually the design phase is still underway, more screens will come.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE THAT THIS IS AN OMNIA EXCLUSIVE APPLICATION, NEVER BEEN TESTED ON OTHER DEVICES.

Attached is the FIRST RELEASE OF THE SCREEN LOCK, coded by DeimosLP.

Just unzip it everywhere you want and launch OmniLock.exe.

THIS ISN'T MEANT TO BE USED EVERYDAY at the moment, probably it drains battery very fast, haven't tried yet on long usage times.

A few notes about it:

- this is somehow a mockup since not everything has been implemented properly and we are still working on performance issues

- the main goal of this release is to get feedback and new ideas so we can improve the usability

what has been done :

- clock+date

- missed calls counts/sms count/mails count

- swing to unlock

- fade out on unlocking

- cool breathing "swing" logo

- fade in/out of the clock digits

what remains to be done:

- phone status and audio profile integration (as seen in the design)

- xml configuration file

- close the application on incoming call

- a lot of code cleaning/performance fixing

- interact with Speleomaniac's launcher

Cheers.

Hellbender.

Bloody awesome ... You are doing a great job dude ... keep it up

Thanks
