[ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 
Remember that extras-devel can be evil!!!!
I have ran the app with my device for long but I can't guarantee that it wont behave nasty. If you hesitate, please wait at least a version that has been more thoroughly tested.

First of all thanks to all the contributors with this. (MohammadAG, qwerty12, aspidites, and everyone who has contributed code, feature requests,...)

development thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=643856

the name of the game is portrait SMS.
http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...1&d=1273005732

This thread is dedicated for common chatter, sharing ideas etc

I am working on wiki page and try to make it so that the status can be seen at the front page easily without reading the thread through

http://wiki.maemo.org/VertSMS

Package can be found at extras-devel.
http://maemo.org/packages/view/vertsms/

and bugs + feature requests go to bugzilla
reports already added:
https://bugs.maemo.org/buglist.cgi?q...rtSMS&content=
add a new report:
https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=VertSMS


don't be too critical about what to report as a bug/feature request. if something doesn't work the way you want just create a bug report. after the bugreport is created, everyone who agrees can vote it.

I am not developing this to myself anymore(but this is excellent escape for my thoughts from bearings, fits, lining, tolerances, technical drawings...) : version 0.3 covers my needs about 100% but the moment you say "I am satisfied", wheels stop spinning completely. So please give me your opinions how to improve the app.

Thanks for this great application, who needs Nokia when we have frals and ossipena. I already used this about 10 minutes ago when I was cooking and had to send a text.

[Feature Request]


Is it possible to have a mini-qwerty keyboard as an alternate input method that is still 'thumbable'. I am terrible with triple tapping and I feel the screen size is definitely big enough to support it.

Once again thank you for this great application I look forward to testing and using it.

Thanks to all!

This is one of the reasons to stay with N900, and the best hope for its enduring future - truly independent development.

Good to see something 100% positive on Maemo.org!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
 
IDK if i can make a request or not...but i will throw it out there...
1.) is there a way to hold down the back space and it delets multiple letters instead of me tapping backspace many times?
2.) is there a way to highlight a word/sentance could be used for copy/paste or just delete the highlighted part.
3.) say if you had to type the word "back" is there a arrow key to press so i dont have to wait for a second or two to type the next letter via the same key?

Thank You...really like the app. i was just wondering if the ABOVE were possible? :)

Dr. P!


P.S. when i type a word (i'll just give an example) say typing the letter "back" i make an error and type "ba2k" now instead of deleting both the letter K and the number 2, if i just touch after the number 2 (so i can only delete 2) it automatically goes to the end of the message and delets the last typed input!

downloaded it and pretty nice.few points-virtual keyboard as mentioned is annoying..kind of half expected that when i was in normal conversations and turned the phone it would then automatically swap to vertsms rather than having to open up the application seperately and when i sent a msg there is no record of it,i expected it to appear in the current conversation for that contact?
but great start,well done!!
