which exactly can be done with homebrew apps? I only see one on here (themes)
- The ability to select the address in a contact card to open Sprint Navigation
- Visual Voicemail
- The ability to change the sounds for notifications on an application basis (different sounds for IM, SMS, calendar), also the ability to disable them
- The ability to be more selective with Synergy. For instance, being able to only merge contacts with Facebook that are already in your phone and not import new ones.
- The swipe up from the gesture area should collapse back to card view AND open the launcher in a single gesture, rather than requiring two.
- An easier method of merging contacts. For instance, select a “merge mode” then click multiple contacts and click a “merge” button at the bottom. Include the ability to perform multiple merges from this mode without having to exit and re-enter.
- The ability to delete and mark (as unread/read) multiple e-mails at once
- Quick and easy keyboard shortcut for “Tab”
- Be able to change the skin/theme for the phone dialer.
- Select multiple amounts of time to snooze an appointment reminder in Calendar (i.e. 5, 10, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.)
- Voice command dialing via the speakerphone
- Ability to remove any of the default apps (at least the icon from the desktop!)
- The ability for the media player to tag Podcasts separately from music so music and podcasts aren’t merged in playlists.
- Ability to copy and paste static text
- Ability to save images from websites with a shortcut (press and hold or orange button and press)
- Ability to open links in new cards with a shortcut
- Ability to save attachments of supported media types from e-mail
- The center button should light up when you have new notifications and the phone is asleep.
- Better predictive text/autocorrect/spellcheck for text input.
- Profile manager that allows you to set profiles based on time changing the ringtones, volumes, notifications, etc whether you’re at work, home, or otherwise.
- Universal search that searches e-mails, conversations, and app catalog.
- The ability to select all (Gesture area + A)
- The ability to “mouse over” links, images, etc (Gesture area + Tap? Perhaps tap and hold?)
- Center button turns on screen and prompts an unlock (Press button while phone is locked and be prompted for unlock)
- Ability to forward SMS/MMS messages
- Video recording through the camera
- Proximity sensor turns the screen on and off rather than fading in and out.
- Contact/Applications grouping and sorting options (Work, Friends, Social, etc)
- Background queuing and downloading for applications.
- Mandatory loading screen for 3rd party applications. It isn’t that bad for applications with small footprints, but some take 5-10 seconds to load.
- The ability to scrub through music.
- The ability to view animated gifs in the browser.
- Allowing searching for text within web pages.
- Virtual keyboard when phone is in landscape mode
- Picture rendering should be optimized. Currently, switching between them and having them render takes around 3.5 seconds. That’s a long time to wait for a picture when you are just shuffling through them.
- Emoticon support for text messages
- Ability to connect to other Pres (or other devices in general) via Bluetooth to share contacts/calendar events/etc
- The ability to manage the media player while the phone is locked
- Alarms for the Task application
- Ability to render Java applets in the browser.
- The ability for the phone to notify you again if you have an unread notification. (Perhaps set it to notify you every 5 minutes, or other time period, until you unlock the phone).
- The ability or option to split IM/SMS conversations into individually cards (one card per conversation).
- The ability to lock/password protect applications.
- Voice Recording
