What has no one made use of this yet? http://www.mobiletechaddicts.com/2008/08/20/multi-touch-on-the-htc-diamondtouch-pro/ . Disable the stupid scroll wheel and make it so we can do stuff with both fingers.
wtf :| so cool
someone has to made a ****ing very nice program with this capabilities
it would be cool, if someone make it work for zoom, kinda like the Iphone, slide both fingers apart from each other and it zooms in, slide them in, and it zoom out, it would be great.
keep bumping til someone does somethin cool
That would be very cool!!!!
But, really. Zooming is already possible by turning your finger clockwise or counterclockwise. And also you can tap on the screen.
Maybe it would be cool with this feature but not for scrolling as I see it. So what else do apple use for it?
Also I heard that iPhone woulde have better games that use the sensor. Does it really, and what games are they?

My guess is, that's patanded by apple, which is why HTC couldn't do it themselves.
What I would love is flicking to scroll ON the left or right side under the screen... Capacitive keys would be much better at that then the touchscreen is.

patented by apple?? no, not with multitouch, they cant do that??
If that's true then that means HTC could have patented TOUCHSCREENS back in 2001 if they wanted to..
that and what about microsoft surface?
that uses multitouch.
and on election day i saw them using a touch screen that has multitouch.
Does anyone even know where to get that app from? (The one in the Video)

This link is just above the video...
It looks to me that only the button panel below the screen has a capacitive sense ability, which makes it multitouch. I'd be delighted to learn that they added a capacicive sense layer on top of the normal, resistive, touchscreen, but doubt they'd do such a thing for no profitable reason.
capacitve D-Pad
What I think would be awesome - make the capacitive screen the D-pad.
right now - using right and left on the D-pad is terrible. I always hit the other shortcut keys. Why not have the capacitive screen control it...
I'd work on it - but it's WAY over my head...
I would really like to see it act like the Instinct buttons. So that you dont have to actually press the buttons just touch the surface.

Are there any so far? If it was possible to program the browser to support multi touch, shouldn't be too hard for the image gallery right?

doesnt your browser (assuming your still using JF1.42 RC33) have multitouch right now?....... both 1.41 and 1.42 that i used before i switched over to MAGIC had multi touch in the settings of the browser

Even without multi-touch but rather a gesture based one would work. Something like the HTC Album for Windows. Drawing in a wide circle rotates the picture, drawing in a small circle will zoom. Doing reverse (counter-clockwise) does the opposite. Sliding left or right will "slide" the picture into the next.

Only problem with HTC or Gogle developing the MultiTouch capabilities would be our good friends over at Apple that would threaten to toss a lawsuit at them.

If anyone hears about one being made, I would like to know about it, cause that is probably the one thing that i'd like most right now. (I already found a good music player... RockOn...and I think I'd be just plain happy with my G1 (other than dropped calls) if I had that..
Check out Slidephoto. It's pretty cool. Slides to change photos and double-tap to zoom. Doesn't rotate yet.
astro has this!

Asto image viewer has these options as well I'm not sure if it has zoom maybe a double tap I don't remember ill check! And its free.
i saw this thread over in the vogue rom development. thought i'd bring this to everyones attention over here. 1 person confirmed that it does work but it needs some work. i thought maybe one of the android developers can take a look at it???
it's being looked at and multitouch is already available for many android applications, we've just never had support etc because of the whole resistive screen thing.. So we'll see what happens..
No promises, no timelines, let's not get silly on this thread with "I can't wait to see that!" style responses

man if we can get this to work that would be awsome!!
speaking of features that would be awesome
i was wondering if anyone knew the tweak for
sliding between android screens a bit easier (lik htc sense ui rosie)
Its smoother with sense ui rosie than regular android.
(i didnt wanna make a new thread for this)
This is why I started the thread. I knew it'd make its way over to the Android devs and hopefully go somewhere. Its cool but not enough for me to go back to WinMo.

Just letting you know enabling multitouch on a resistive touch screen does not make it as responsive as a capacitive one. It just allows more than one point to be registered at a time.

haha that wasnt my question. Capacitive screens use electricity or w/e in your fingertips; hence you barely touch and it recognizes. Resistive screens requires pressure.
Progress Multitouch on resistive screen is as fast as polar ice caps melting.
what i was referring to was how "MUCH" you have to swipe in order to get to the page on the left or right.
In htc sense builds
*you barely have to slide and it recognizes that you wanna get to another page.
In android builds (non htc rosie aka sense ui)
*you have to swipe alot (probably from one side of the screen to the other side).
I know this is possible because i've used panda hero theme (Which emulates sense ui). And the swiping was noticeably less resistant almost lik those htc sense builds i was refering to.
i think i have to make a video just to ask my question if im not explaining it that well.
Pardon me for blabbering, I don't wanna give up yet. But is there a chance you could draw on HD7?
I'm an Architect and I usually unsheath my Xperia X1 stylus and hit notepad and before you know it I'm drawing room dimensions to take down notes for length width and height. (usuall construction stuff).
And oh, forgive me for posting this but I didn't start a thread like this when I was with my:
1. HTC Prophet to
2. HTC Alpine to
3. XDA Zinc to
4. SE Xperia X1 till
now. >D
Pencilio is an awesome sketch app in the marketplace.
As for stylus, I imagine a capacitive one would work, but I always hear stories of spottiness. Pencilio works surprisingly well with your finger though.
Nice! As long as I can draw squares and arrowheads inside it to take note of dimensions, I don't even need the drawn line to be perfectly straight.
It's really nice to when someone knows how to do something and shares it here at xda-devs.
Thanks!

Here's one of the more popular capacitive styli: http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Capac...I76S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1296244909&sr=8-1
Using that in any drawing app, such as jim says, should be very similar to your previous experiences.
Yep, XDA is a fantastic place
I am surprised no one has made a lock screen where you need to use all 5 fingers to unlock. Kind of like in the commercials.

but i also want to contral my tab with 5 fingers! like they were doing showing the texts... you know? maybe for tab switch in the browser...
+1 here for this great idea!
thats the best lock screen idea in the history of lock screen ideas, would be ool if it had buttons like in the videoeo that quick linked you to several app, music Calender gmail contacts browser, all the most used, also if it was as big as one in video you could have buttons on outside ring, and a working manipulatible preview of the app button selected on inside ring, and you could scroll through each preview by rotating the lock.
I'd like that! Its like a holographic mouse!

Some nice ideas here. As much as I love the vanilla experience, in terms of lockscreens Google always disappoints me. Especially with Honeycomb: The first thing I though was: Why not having, let's say, up to 5 app shortcuts around the ring (just like the "lock"). If you move your finger to the lock, you unlock. Move it to the "Music" symbol, you open your music app, move it to the "Pulse" app...you get the idea. There are so many opportunities, especially with this kind of big screen (and the support of 10 Fingers at once) that it hurts me to only see this (even though fancy) ring to unlock without further modifications.
This may be a dumb question, but being that our phone the LG Thrill 4G is a 3D phone would it be possible to create a bootanimation in 3D? I think it would be a great way to show off the 3D capability of the phone.

3d requires drivers and an app to disay in 3d. gallery is what displays photos in 3d, video player does videos and games do it themselves. other things dont have that ability which is why you need the 3d converter to view other things in 3d it is the converter that enables it. the drivers would have to be loaded before the boot animation and the 3d would have to be implemented into what displays the boot animation. it would require a lot of work and not even sure if it is possible to do at all. im sure if it was lg would have been more than happy to show it off.
now i could be wrong this is pretty much just me making an assumption based on what i have learned.
...fighting ninjas at night, talkin' about this and that.
I agree that it would be awesome. I for one just wish they would implement more 3D than just games. I saw a article of theirs saying they still feel 3D is the future and will stay behind it, but if the 3D is only really going to be good for games, whats the point? Just my opinion

well it is just starting out right now it is only games soon you never know, the whole phone could be in 3d with option to make 2d. the launcher, app drawer, boot anim and all apps could be in 3d one day. your icons would look like they were a few inches above the actual screen and using advanced proximity sensing tech they could make it to where you can actual press the icons without actually touching the phone.
imagine the icons and dock popping out at your face and you can select something by pressing the icon "in the air" your brain would think that you were actually touching the icon it would look like you did but your finger is actually inches away from your phone. the phone will be able to tell the difference between a finger selecting something or just an object coming close. this i think is what lg is trying to work towards. a full featured interactive 3d experience

woah, if that is indeed the future of 3d, i'm definatelly taking the Thrill from my wife and lettin' her have the Sky Rocket, lol(Not that she'd let me;(..)

When I saw treks post I was going to say the same thing. I can almost guarantee that one day they will even have screens that will be 3d no matter the andgle. Stereoscopic is a very primitive form of displaying 3d it has been around for decades and I am talking more than 2. Won't it be something when your phone doesn't really have a screen so to speak it will have a projector that actually creates everything as a hologram a few inches above the surface... well that's pretty far in the future but i could see it happening. You might even be able to lay your phone flat on a table and watch a movie in full 3d holographic display. If you are in front you see the actors faces if you are in the back you see the back.of their heads. Now that would be awesome.
