400+ patches available now...what else needs to be "patched"?....

[ferriskeanu]

There are "patch request" threads here and there in the PreCentral forums. *Was curious as to what is left to patch?

[Cantaffordit]

once more APIs are released (mic for voice stuff) there will be a whole mew round.

[patricksmangan]

I've posted a bunch of ideas. Patches provide me with extended preference options, which I like.

Select multiple e-mails for delete or move (don't know if that can be done with patch).

Save e-mail attachments to /media/internal/downloads for unsupported file types, or give the option of open or save for supported file types. (Don't know if that can be done with a patch either).

As I've said in other threads, I would like to see per-app replacement patches with preferences scenes, so we an cut down on the total number of patches installed.

sconix is a master of this domain. I count at least 16 patches his next release will allow me to remove.

What else needs to be patched??? Off the top of my head:

Browser:
- Change Font (to Times Roman from Prelude) with a preference dialog
- Change Font Size (Increase / Decrease by 2 pts) with a preference dialog
- Find Text on web-page
- Save Pages for Offline View (like Opera Mini) and then have an interface to delete the pages after reading.
- Browser integreated RSS reader (like Opera Mini)
- Decrease the size of bookmark icons and increase the number bookmark icons on startpage; there is a patch out there somewhere but it leaves the start page ugly with rounded _and_ sharp edged icons.
- Bookmarklets capability.

UI:

- A device wide scrollbar (you cannot possibly expect ppl to read an email without knowing where they are in the scene)

Calendar:
- A setting that says make appt X mins long (instead of choosing 1:45 to 3:15, you would chose starting from 1:45 and say 1 1/2 hours long)
- Swipe to delete an appt
- When you move an appt to a different day, after backswipe (saving), the view should be of the different day; not the day where the appt was originally.
- There are so many more that even the Ubercalendar does not provide. Compared to Palm OS, the calendar app feels like Version 0.1.

Contacts:
- Have a alphabetical scroll feature

Music Player:
- Graphic EQ

Messaging:
- Change Font with a preference dialog
- Change Font Size (Increase / Decrease by 2 pts) with a preference dialog. There is a patch out there that decreases the font size but it does not decrease the size of the text pane; so you dont get the benefit of smaller fonts: increased content on your screen.

Email:
- Select multiple e-mails for delete or move (as already mentioned earlier)
- Select multiple photos/docs for attachment.

So, yeah, there are many more patches that we could do with.

filter contacts by Synergy acct like the Calendar

I would really like that make it where can have business/friends/family/etc... contact groups and click the different groups depending on activity and only show the contacts in that group.

I would also like the alphabetical scroll feature like veerar pointed out. But I think both of these would take more then a patch.

* A notification patch that alerts you when your battery is at 100% with either a stock sound or a customizeable sound of your choice like the custom low battery notification patch.


* The ability to copy/download audio and video mms to your phone.

[RoLLEmUp]

I really like a lot of these ideas.

[loopytee]

how about private browsing, or a patch that automatically clears history and cache when exiting the browser, you know forthose other folks that might want this feature, not me, others

[petbull]

Perhaps it's just me, but I'm always accidentally pulling down the device menu. If there was a patch that would bring that down only when a volume key is pushed or perhaps a tap in the gesture area, it would save me a lot of grief.

[protofa]

patch to add in devise menu a toggle to disable/enable accelerometer.

That can be done currently, but it is VERY cumbersome.

[RUSH]

Fix the cursor screen issue when typing ~ just like what I'm experiencing now, typing this message on my pre.

[stirling]

I'm still hoping someone will roll up a patch that keeps the Pre from coming on when picked up from the Touchstone. Mine is always in the Touchstone in my truck, and usually when I pick it up I'm putting it in my pocket as I get out. Always have to shut it off first.

[RoLLEmUp]

Word up Rush, I'm with you on that. The most annoying thing to me when typing here in the forums from my pre, is when I put it in a card, open up another browser card, or open up an app, answer a call, text, or whatever it is I'm doing at that moment; coming back to the forum to finish what I was typing, and it scrolls my text input field all the way back up to the top. Especially annoying when typing a long response, because if I am multitasking, everytime I go back to continue where I left off, I can't! I have to scroll back down to where I was at in order to resume typing. Super annoying!
