Symmetric Scrolling Branch

New page under construction.

Raison d'être

The motivation for developing the SymScroll branch of Go Bible was to provide support for touch screen only phones that have Java ME. And for touch screen phones with a hardware menu button, you can safely get rid of the on-screen virtual keypad and retain full Go Bible functionality, thus taking advantage of the full area of the screen for the application display.

Features

New features

Enhanced features

Backwards compatibility

The SymScroll branch of GoBibleCore is backwards compatible with existing Go Bible applications. This means that earlier applications can be changed to SymScroll merely by replacing the file gobiblecore2.jar and using the Update option of Go Bible Creator to rebuild the application.

Development Status

The SymScroll branch is still being actively developed. Most of the features are already implemented. The branch is at the testing and debug stage. No milestoned release has yet been announced.
