The code is public. Anyone can take it and do what he wants with it (port it to symbian or desktop or even android ;)). I just don't have any symbian experience.

I tried adding a bar woth icons under each aya and boy the UI became cluttered. Really messy. I don't know what to do now :|

Problem is there isn't enough space in the aya menu because I'm showing the full aya text there.

I guess I'll have to stop coding and think for a while.
the bar must be floating on the ayat selected this will solve the clutter problem... btw the problem of transations icon can be solved by removing disable translation function... this can be replaced with hidden function as default... and the T icon on that bar will be permanent irrespective of enable or hidden.. what do you think..

It actually looks fine with a white background :)

However, we can't add a lot of icons there otherwise it might interfere with the navbar.

if you put the icons to the left , it will be better :)

True but it might interfere with the left navigation bar.

EDIT: Guess I will left align it and wait for you guys to complain :D

6) Yes everything is optional as you can see. We are however limited by the small screen size.
7) Custom themes will be implemented. Let's just finish the most requested features first :)
8) Custom colors will be implemented too.
I can add an option for a background but the default will be white.
9) I don't understand that part ?

10) Thanks but it's also the work of everybody who commented here either suggestions, criticism, ideas, tips, contributions, encouragement, ... Thanks all for helping :)
translations T ( to me ) isnt used most frequently but yeah the menu options are the one which are used more frequently so thats why i suggested it to be in the center rather than on right corner..And if you dont intend to do so ,its all fine .
part 9- i meant to say that app should nt be slowed down due to any reason,such as mp3 data files ,for example ,scrolling the page should be as faster as it can .
rest is all good .
one more suggestion : rather having loads of different icons
on the page for every aaya, you may add one bar to left in vertical manner ,which contains the options to customize,for audio and etc .

Hmm, I have tried using espeak with Fathiha and the last 3 ayahs of al-Bakarah. The results aren't really good. Too robotic.

Maybe we have to scratch that idea.

@MSameer: there should be T button also under the ayat and that bar must be hidden always so that it saves space and it should appear only upon single tap, and the translations should appear when the T button is tapped, rather then showing all the time, btw having two buttons T and R we can have one 'F'unction button which would have ribbon interface or icon interface... (p.s. long press is assigned to stop anykind of recitations)

for T button problem when translations are disabled, just replace it with hidden as default, as disable function is useless when we have hidden function to do the same thing.. :)

May be we can bring back the swipe function now..
swipe sideways (horizontal) to display the floating dock.

or as in the recent post, if dedicated 'star' & 'R' button will be provided for each ayah, we can invoke it by a horizontal swipe.

I don't know if its feasible.. Swipe on a particular ayah to show the star(favourite) & recitation icon for that ayah alone.

--
another suggestion: remove the arrow images from 'page navigation' bar on sides & make it visible always (with the current level of opacity)

The bar is hidden and it gets shown when an aya gets tapped.
I guess a T button could also be added to toggle the translation too.

I really really don't want the F button. There's still a place for a stop icon.

We can also add the stop button to the select recitation dialog ;)

What remains is play page/play sura. Need to find a place for them.

I also agree that the disabled translation mode is kind of useless with the new T button being added to the aya bar. Perhaps we should have 2 options now: Enabled and hidden.
