My apologies!

Sorry people but I think I am either going to shut this project down or hand it over to someone else. I've just come out of hosiptal after having my sixth heart attack, so I would like to be in the planning stage just not the main person. I need time to recover. E-mail me if you would like to take it over at zombee81@hotmail.com.

I shell try and get the demo up and running still but don't hold your breath for obvious reasons!

Flash OS Project setup on Source Forge!

Hi guys!

Been a good day today! Although I hadn't had much time to do anything on the themes, but the project is setup on Source Forge, although it's going to take a couple of days for the domain name to filter through. When that happens I will post the address here.

The documentation is coming along, all be it slowly, defining how the themes will interact with the emulator and phone. Probably use some standard components to simplify the design of the themes, etc.

Not going to do anything on the themes for the next couple of days, because my site for selling the mobile screensavers and wallpapers needs to be finished and I have to create some more screensavers, but if I have anything to announce then I will post it here.

Talk to you soon!

Current Thinking!

Well, it's taking me much longer than I thought to do this, mainly because I'm doing a extensive demo, which will really show you the capabilities of the OS.

Here you see the two big icons on the extreme left and right, these tell you the usual signal strength and type, and the battery. The smaller icons inbetween are functional icons, this means that they not only indicate information but can be selected to open a function, in this case, e-mails and message inbox. I say they indicate information because they flash if there is a new message or email.

Below this there will be just informational icons, such as the key lock icon and the mute icon, some of which can be selected, but of course the key lock icon won't be selectable because when that appears the key pad is locked! Obvious, I know but I had to say it.

If you compare that to the original N95 interface, you have the clock and date at the top of the screen as well as the usual signal and battery, I haven't done this because when the phone is on standby it will be displaying a large clock and date in the main area.

I shell keep updating this blog with things that I come up with and as I get further in to the development of the emulator, so keep coming back. As always your comments are welcome, just post them here.
