[Q] Any chance you could draw on a capacitive screen? - HD7 General

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

Multitouch

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.

3d droid

Hi.
I'm modeling 3d Android for one website, so I'll like to share with you my current progress; this is not finished model: I have to change hands (I don't like them as they are now), make legs, and add some more details. I have just posed what I have till now in to some quick pose and make quick render, to better see how it looks, and what to change.
I the end, this will be animated character and it will be used for banners, logo, icons, animated intro for videos, and some wallpapers and maybe even for theme for mobile phones.

I'm modeling this in 3d studio max.
And here is one more small update; I have remodeled hands, so that now I have more wide range of movement with them.
Awesome work, the first face looks better in my opinion, but the second is more original.
I also prefer the darker face. There is more contrast and makes the eyes stand out more. Also looks happier. Good details there. It is very difficult to make "green skin" look good at best of times!
Tnx guys for comments.
Face is still something I haven't decide yet what to do about it; I'll have to make some tests with expressions to see what will work best.
Now, I have to make legs; i'm thinking about making them somewhat similar to hands, but I'll put wheels on them (they will be mostly hidden; there will be a gap like for hands, where wheel will come out), so that he will basically role around; i thing that he will look cooler that way.

Looks pretty sick, but I must say, when the legs are on their own, well.....

Live Wallpaper

I'm making Live wallpaper.If you have some animation and you would like it a live wallpaper Let me know.
Big thanks to Kangi26k for the Android Hands animation
To install copy it to your device, and install it just like any other apk.
I take no credit for the program to do this.
A nice HD shot of a total solar eclipse sort of fluxuating there would make a nice wallpaper.
Or (incoming geekout) a nice HD shot of a Stargate sitting there active.
A blinking Hal 9000 would be cool.
I'd personally like to see a Dalek. That's an android that demands respect.

Exterminate! Haha awesome +1
I won't be around my computer until after the first and then we will see what is cracking
Sent from my SGH-T959D using XDA App
Not sure if it is floating around somewhere, but maybe a LWP of a background that is clear water (the entire screen), but then when you touch it, it makes a reverberation across the screen
Just like the water one that comes with the phone, but no leaves and no tree background, just clear water

[REQ] Authentic Tron Legacy Swype

I have dug around looking for a tron legacy swype but the ones that I have seen have not been to my taste. I have watched Tron Legacy and noticed the digital keyboard when Sam wipes the dust off his dad's computer and wondered if anyone could do a Swype version of that digital keyboard. I have attached this picture below for reference to give an idea what I'm talking about.
Would be very cool and unique.
It would be possible but is also a bit of work but the issue would be the settings button and such would look out of place
The double line border would also not be visible at the edges. Because the letters go all the way to the edge of the screen pretty much.
Also having the letters visible on the keys might make it not look as nice.
Im not trying to discourage you, but if you are just looking for an exact theme it might be hard to accomplish.
EDIT : nvm on the letters it was just hard to see on the captivate.
Ill take a stab at it no one else does in the next couple of days. Would go nice with a theme idea I've had for awhile.
The movie was awful, though.

Nooooooooooo! say it isn't soooooo guess ill wait for redbox then huh?

I came to this thread hoping to see that someone had posted the keyboard to download, but I don't mind waiting till someone makes one if someone in fact intends to.
As far as the movie, I thought it was awesome. My only problem with it was that it looked like the CG animators had a hard time drafting over the older Jeff Bridges face with a younger one for the flashback and for CLU.
It may have helped the fact of my liking the movie since I'm an engineering major and I got the chance to nerd out, plus Olivia Wilde (plays Quorra) is just really attractive in my opinion.

Not seeing it in theaters/3D kind of defeats its only purpose.

[TOP TIP] Auto hide on screen buttons by swiping up

Hey guys,
I'm new over here because I just upgraded from my Xperia S to an Xperia T (dont ask haha) so hi .
basically the first thing I thought when using the phone was what a waste the buttons were as they took up quite a good part of the screen, and so despite being 0.3" bigger than the Xperia S this was not noticeable. I also hated the aspect ratio of the screen love a good 16:9
anyway after searching on here and around for ages I finally came across a simple solution that works very well
its this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
I bought the pro version and its def worth it, because this is such an amazing set up!
sorry if this is already well known on here, but thought I'd share anyway, oh and if you find you can't activate the buttons in the camera mode its because you have to swipe from the side (it thinks its landscape, same with full screen games)
Very nice, I love this
I like it too

Thanks, just had a play with it. but prefer the one I posted in this thread because you can customise much more like make the icons xperia and not google nexus style, also it hides the current on screen buttons without needing to do anything yourself so more simple for people.
also guys what I realised is its best to select 'spoof soft keys' otherwise apps will open without the more options button so you'll have no way to get into further settings etc.
