As I refine VirtualBox Manager I find new enhancements to make. Various graphical enhancements have been made to both the free and pro versions. Android uses the Toast class to display an unobtrusive message on the screen. Utilizing this to display confirmation dialogs assures the user that a particular action has completed successful. It adds a sense of feedback to the application.

One feature removed was the disabling of auto correction on the input menus. Since domain names, usernames, and passwords do not require auto correction, I wanted to disabled the feature. But the ability to disable the feature was not available in Android 1.6 therefore the feature is not currently available in the current packages. As more phones shift toward >2.1 I will re-enabled the feature and push the update to the Marketplace.

The entire application is much more stable after some recent updates. If the password is correct, and the private and public keys match then there is only one reason the system will not login; signal strength. I have noticed it does not work with 1X and only works where there is a reasonably strong 3G connection. I will try figure out how to program a timeout that publishes a notification that the connection failed due to signal strength.

More updates to come. I also want to implement a robust server management tool that reads for common processes using ps, and give the user the ability to see if they are running, restart, or shut them down. ect…. I may integrate this into VirtualBox Manager pro or just as a standalone application.
