Guys:
someone asked how I put phonecall shortcuts and sms shortcuts on my Today page, eg
The middle line - Nenka's my girlfriend!
This is set up using cLaunch, although any launcher app, and indeed the normal program menu can be set up to do this.
Basically, the cab will install the files VJDialer and VJSMS to your \Program Files\VJSoft\ directory.
Use gsfinder or something, make a shortcut to those files and specify the command line thus:
SMS
Code:
VJSMS "123"
to start an sms to recipient 123
or
Code:
VJSMS "123" -body "Thanks Vijay"
To start an sms with text already in it.
NOTE - the speech marks around the number etc are important
Dialer
To make a call, do likewise, shortcut with command line:
Code:
VJDialer 123
will start a call to number 123. Note - no speech marks necessary
Tell me how it goes!
Note, the cab will stick a couple of shortcuts in your Start Menu. If you don't have gsfinder, load the shortcut into word/notepad and edit it directly as text.
CAB
VJDialer.exe
VJSMS.exe
Oct 23 2005 Guys, I've just read that these guys are charging $10 for a plugin to do this kind of thing. I need to buy a WM5 device to finish developing a ton of good stuff I can’t share with you guys yet. However, my phone’s only a few months old and my better half won’t let me spend more cash now, so if I earn it, you guys will reap the rewards. My stuff will generally be free or nearly free, particularly for XDA forum users. Stay tuned for more goodies on show shortly. Click here to make a donation.

Thanks man!
That is absolutely brilliant!
I really enjoy those little tweaks that improve the functionality of the magician, this is without any doubt one of them!

This is really great - am now using this along with your app to hide the bottom bar, and my screen looks (or will look*) brilliant!
Many, many thanks.
* I just now need to design myself some icons for "phone home", "ring the misses", "call answerphone", etc. I can do the artwork, but have you got any hints on how I actually get the icon to display for the correct shortcut? I am currently using Pocket Plus but am going to install cLaunch JUST for the call/text icons.....
brykins - cLaunch was very flexible because it allows you to use any bitmap as the icon image, so just stick a few photos in a directory and use those (best to keep them quite small, 32x32 ideally?).
For some bizarre reason, I decided to make a .dll full of my icons instead of using the easy option. That can be used for icon images as well, although cLaunch doesn't need to be configured this way
Please post screenshots to show your work!

Here is it then.....knocked up very quickly, and using some random bits of Avril Lavigne until I get some real icons knocked up.
From the top:
PPC Profiles using the text selection method;
PocketPlus (inclusing PocketWeather and GPRS Monitor);
PocketBreeze;
Standard Messaging Plugin;
CLaunch with your shortcuts to calls.
Now just need to learn about Wisbar and try and do something about the top bar.....
Bryan.
Brykins - the icons look great!
Re the top bar, I presume you've seen my ToggleStart prog?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26869&highlight=
Throw in phonealarm and you can get rid of PPC Profiles... if you wish.
What's wisbar performance like? I use SmallMenuPlus for my start menu, much more convenient than the standard one!

Thank you....I have looked at ToggleStart but I actually like the top bar - I like the close button and the start button. I just need to skin it to match the rest of the screen.
Don't know about Wisbar yet - have seen it and seen plenty of people use it, but not yet tried it myself. I don't need anything too heavy or complicated, just an easy way to change the colour of the top bar and use my own icons if possible.
(Oh....just noticed that it's 2:20am and time for us Ingurlenders to be in bed!)
Bed time, tell me about it! :wink: i'm off to in a mo.
Top bar - to skin it, wisbar is easiest I guess. I've heard some people say it has performance issues. I can't imagine it on modern PPCs, but I found myself not needing it now.
To just change the colour - try CETuner, great to make themes directly on the PPC.
My colour scheme is available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=147618#147618 for an example.

hey
I don't understand how this speed dial method works ...
I installed the CAP. Now what I have to do ??? when I tap and hold a shortcut of VJDialer and choose properties, I can't choose a command line. If somebody can explain this to me?! the rest is a peace of cake, just make a today plugin of it ... and change the icon
Mdemaster:
what explorer program are you using?
Install and use something like GSFinder+ if you are only using the "file explorer" built into the PDA.
Using gsfinder, go to the folder \program files\vjsoft
In there you should find two files.
To use either program, eg, VJDialer.exe, click on that file once. Then click on the copy button on the toolbar in gsfinder. Then, go to the menu and choose "paste shortcut".
Then, click on the shortcut (vjdialer.exe.lnk) and choose properties.
In properties, just add the telephone you want to call onto the _end_ of the filename.
eg "\programfiles\vjsoft\vjdialer.exe" 123
For a launcher, it depends which one you use, but in claunch you can specify the command line directly, ie just 123 etc.
Tell me how it goes.
V
Thnx very much. That indeed was the problem, with GSfidner+ everything went as it should be. I use Pocket+ as launcher, are there icon sets available ??? and is it possible to use photo's as Icon ???
And i'm trying Claunch, but I can't change the size of the icons. I tried to change a jpg file in a bmp. but the size is now 1 mb, and what i see is a 18 x 18 icon of a 320 x 240 photo, so I see the left high corner of the photo, I'm still not making process ...
Mdemaster: on claunch you can use any bitmap/icon as the icon for any program, so I've obviously used different pictures for each shortcut.
I'm not sure if other launchers let you do that - it might be a good reason to change!
V
how can you change the 18x18 size, how do you put names under it, and how do you change the
/\

of the claunch screen on your today screen, now it's to big, so I have to work with a scroll bar at the right, I want to make it smaller so I don't have that scroll bar.

Using cLaunch you can set the preferences - go to Settings, and the icon tab has areas for Icon Size, to enable the icon name (and it's width) and to but the name under the icon. The margins tabe sets the spacing between the icons and the distance from the edges. Go to Options and the System tab has the setting for the height of cLaunch.
Mdemaster: what program are you using in the top screenshot? claunch?
In claunch, you have to configure each page of icons (ie each tab).
For me, I've configured it not to show tabs (eg "Main", "Tools" etc).
However, then I've set up a page of 4 or 5 icons on each page of tabs.
Then, I've set the background of each tab to contain my little blue arrows on the left, so my background is actually just the arrows graphic, positioned to be on the left.
Then, I've used a left offset to position the icons just after the "emtpy" space, about 40 pixels from the left.
Then, configure claunch to switch tabs on clicking the "empty" space - so I can now click on my little blue arrows to switch tabs.
For the name of the icons underneath, just set up claunch to dispay labels under each icon.
Configure a fixed height for the bar. Mine's about 50 pixels high all together (each icon is 32x32, plus about 10 pixels for the label, plus a bit more height top and bottom).
Also, have you seen my ToggleToday program to get rid of the little bar at the bottom of your screen?

hi vijay, your speeddial n sms are really useful! i'm using pocketplus, and is really used to using this than claunch...
can you share how you do the .dll to use icons/ photos for the speeddial?? thanks much!
Hi guys.
Claunch allows you to use any bitmap as an icon I think.
However, for some strange reason, I'd still decided to make a dll full of icons, to keep them all in one place.
You can download it from here.
Download this and then load it into something like Microangelo Librarian and edit the icons. You can use any size, but I load my photos into Paint Shop Pro, crop and resize to 32x32, and then convert the palette to 256 colours. Copy the image and paste into microangelo studio (sometimes you have to paste into a XP colour icon, and then recolour in _microangelo_ to 256 colours, but it's always best to do it in a paint program first to get better palettes.)
If you want to see a cool PC icon extractor I wrote, see here. It's no good for this exercise since you need an editor, but it looks cute!
V
PS my girlfriend is a little embarrassed about being in a bunch of icons, but whacha gonna do?!

I'm wondering if there is a way, maybe through a third party app, to make the buttons on the phone dialer larger. It's kind of a pain to dial while driving and I don't have large hands either.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom

Don´t ask, try yourself! :roll: WM2005 is on the Vario/Wizard!
Im gettin tired of buying apps. Is there a freeweeeh app out like this one?
Yes, but ME software PhonePlus III does not work in landscape mode. The bottom buttons get hidden in landscape. Works though in Portrait. I therefore object to the developers claim that this is fully WM5 compatible. It is only partially compatible.
Kind Regards
You can create your own buttons and experience with the size.
All you need you'll find it in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skins and in Windows directory.
Only thing to remember: you can't override the BMPs in windows directory so create your own directory and save your modified BMPs there. Then change the path to this files in registry and it will work.
Only thing i could change so far is the colour of the Indellidialer because i can't find a link to this BMPs and files in windows directory are locked.
I changed my colors last night in a quick way for testing and now my own skin looks like this:

In windows directory there are several bmp files. I copied them to my desktopn and had a look with explorer preview on them. I identified the bmp files needed by dialer skin and changed the color.
Created a new directory on my mda vario (i.e. PhoneSkin) and copied the modified files back. YOu can't override the installed files in windows directory because they are flagged as ROM files and can't be deleted.
In the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin there are two entries (DIALER and PROGRESS) and each of them with landscape and portrait.
There you can find entries for the several buttons with a link to the files. Cahnge the link to your modified files and after a softreset you'll have your own colours.

Sorry but I can't find that registry entry in my Qtek.
I only have 2 entrys : Enebled and ext.
I already used photoshop to enlarge the buttons with 10% but I can't get them into smartdailer now.
I would also be happy with the layout that shows up for the passwordentry at startup. that one is verry clear and big.
phone pluss great but not compatable
there claim of compatability is fake....its a cool software but momen i dial a number i am back to the old dialer skin...so i have to keep shuffling which is a caos...besides i had aalocated a hardware button call to phonepluand tok ages to just opn the software....
when dialing is on t9 then why not sm...i liked the sms feature but when it came to using it...it was a big problem without t9 featre...i iked the softarefor big buttons but deleted it now...not worth....till they fix bugs...ucan still gie it try
Skinning The WM2K3 Phone Dialer Interface
This is UGLY and RAW.... but it works!
I own a Blue Angel (Cingular - Siemens SX66) & it's running Windows Mobile 2003 SE on it in Landscape Mode.
The Solution; My Solution:
------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 1: Copy & Paste / Drag & Drop (Part 1) ----
-------------------------------------------------------------
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere and call it "Original Phone Dialer Images"
Copy over the the following Phone Dialer .gif images from the windows directory of your phone to the directory you just made on your PC:
clg_dlrbtn.gif
clg_dlrbtnd.gif
clg_dlrbtnd_land.gif
clg_dlrbtnd_sqre.gif
clg_dlrbtn_land.gif

spd_dlrbtnd_sqre.gif
spd_dlrbtn_land.gif
spd_dlrbtn_sqre.gif
---------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 2: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA!!!!! ----
---------------------------------------------------------
Once all of the image files are copied over to your pc create a .ZIP file of this directory.
If you have WinZip installed, right-click on the folder, left-click "Add to Original Phone Dialer Images.zip"
NOTE: this zip file is your backup of the original image files!!!
Once you have your ZIP file nicely tucked away where you won't lose it proceed to the fun part!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 3: Find your Inner Child and hand him a paint brush! ---
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open up your favorite image editor (I used Adobe Photoshop CS2)
Load each image 1 at a time into your image editor.
Be sure to take note of the size of the button inside the image, my advice is to match it quite closely.
After you edit an image YOU MUST save it as the same file type and same name.
Once you have modified all of your images to your liking close your image editor.
------------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 4: Be a 1337 HAX0R! (if only for a moment) ---
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok this part will require a 3rd party application, what you will need to do is kill the "cprog.exe" process. This is the Phone process.
To accomplish this I used the program "Pocket Controller-Professional 5.04", which you can download for free (demo version):
The File: http://www.soti.net/files/PCPro504Setup.exe
The Site: http://www.soti.net
Once installed, execute the program, connect to your phone.
Once connected, at the top of the Pocket Controller interface there is a horizontal "Main Menu".
On the Main Menu click "Tools", then within the Tools menu click "Task Manager"
Once Task Manager is open highlight "cprog.exe" and click the "Kill Process" button.
-------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 5: Copy & Paste / Drag & Drop (Part 2) ---
-------------------------------------------------------------
Locate the folder with all of your modified saved images & copy them back into the Windows directory on your phone, when prompted, choose "Yes to All" to overwrite the originals.
-------------------------------------------
--- STEP 6: SMILE! SMILE! SMILE! ---
-------------------------------------------
Once all the files are copied back over to your phone make a phone call & look at the nice pretty colors. Call your best friend and tell them how some wild and crazy guy just hooked you up and taught you how to tweak your phone!
Included are 2 screen shots taken using Pocket Controller's Screen Capture command. the ONLY thing i did to them was to black out my area code
(and for those paying attention, included in my list of files are more than just the dial pad files.... )
- John
So... does doing this "trick" will enlarge the button?
Or just changing the color...
THIS IS FOR THE SPRINT TOUCH ONLY! (HTC VOGUE)
Well, it took me a couple of days, but I've finally been able to get a working 4-sided cube! Here's a screenshot and the details.

SideA - Quick Dial App
SideB - Mini Media Hub
SideC - App Launcher
SideD - 8 button App Launcher
I've also uploaded an alternate D0.brn. Just put it in your \Windows folder and it will be the background for the 4th side.
Now comes the nitty gritty.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH CUBE REGISTRY EDITS!
Basically what this CAB will do is:
- create an APLauncher2.exe in your Windows directory
- create an APLauncher2 folder in your registry
- install the Blank Cube animation provided by storyr
- Create another 8 button App launcher (fourth side) to the HTC Cube that will appear after the first App Launcher
This will NOT:
-change your Media Hub icons or Registry Values
-change your Quick Dial icons or registry values
-change you App Launcher icons or registry values
In the second App Launcher some buttons are assigned, some are not. To assign them you must edit their registry values (which is why I say you should have a basic knowledge of Cube registry editing to install this)
1. WM Player
2. Not Assigned ( I don't have opera mobile installed)
3. Not Assigned
4. Not Assigned
5. FR Notepad
6. Not Assigned
7. HTC Home Customizer
8. Not Assigned
Registry values can be found at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher2>App0-App7
Another issue is that with the new side, individual icons cannot be shown for some reason, so to edit the icons you have to edit the D0.brn. in other words, all the icons are on one image, which to me makes it easier to change a whole page of icons, but it also means there are no "highlighted" icons, either. The text flashes when you press the button, but that is all. Other than that it works perfectly!
This is a big CAB because it replaces all of the animations for your Cube as well as adding a new side.
Hope you guys enjoy!

Nice. i'll try it out.
ok I loaded this app and it is working fine, how do I change the registory to the program I want to launch. I know how to change settings in the registory but I don't know what values. Like if I want to launch a golf game instead of opera, can I do that and where do I get the values for the new registory entry. And thern I have to change the icon in the (pic) file for the 4th side, what program would I use.
I hope I at least have the concept straight, if the info is posted in other forums, like for the wizard or hermes....... can I follow those instructions or should I stick to what I see here?
Thanks for the working program
hey there,
i've a xda star - a nike variant with a 4 sided cube. i've attached a .reg file with which you can add the animation.

to change the programs, the registry values are
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher2>App0 -App7>Path
change the value of path to the location of the program. For example, for the button to open GoogleMaps, the path value would be "\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe" without the quotes.
to edit the background (D0.brn), search this forum for BMP to brn convert. convert the brn to a bmp and then edit it, convert it back to a brn and put it in your \Windows folder on your device.

hey there,
i've a xda star - a nike variant with a 4 sided cube. i've attached a .reg file with which you can add the animation.

Would you mind posting the reg values for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch ?
I think it might help in making the 4th side customizable. Thanks in advance!
why not for touch black ? 3450
I am wrong or Sprint touch is the same of htc touch p3450 ?
works with Bell HTC touch ??
Anyone has tried the 4 sided cube on the Bell HTC Touch ?
If not, I think I ll give it a shot...
hello
I have to install the cab I have rebooter but I always have my old cube why?
thank you
I used Cube Configuration Tool from thisguyinoc's and you can find it in the forums or at ppcgeeks.com Its a cap and it gives me the option 6 side cube option and it also makes it easy to set your applications anywhere you want to include the 3 app side. You can set your own icons or you can get some from this site..

[size=+1]Now Wheee! Lite Edition too, for use with UltimateLaunch![/size]
Screenshot:
[size=+1]Download the package here:[/size]
rapidshare
This theme is QVGA only!
Instructions:
1) Download and install the latest version of Homescreen++! The theme won't work with BatteryStatus!
2) Extract the archive you downloaded (Wheee_v2.71.rar). Copy the "Wheee" folder and the "Wheee.xml" & "Wheee (lite edition).xml" files to your Homescreen++ directory. Open the "Storage Card" folder, and copy the "Wheee" folder you find there to your Storage Card.
3) Customize your skin. Sadly, it is not very easy to customize HS++ skins, but I have tried to make it a little easier. Open the Wheee.xml file with any text editor, and after the lines where you see "EDIT:", edit the paths to programs or plugins with the ones you want. You also have to set up a weather plugin - I use WeatherPanel with the Diamond skin by Rumball (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781), I will make a Sticker skin for WeatherPanel too when I find some time. Customizing the Lite Edition of the skin is much easier, you only need to change 2-3 paths.
4a) If you want the full Wheee! theme, enable HS++ as the only Today item, go into HS++ settings and choose the Wheee theme, you're done! Also remember to check all the "extra" indicators in HS++ settings.
or,
4b) For the Lite Edition of the theme, go into HS++ settings and choose the Wheee (lite edition) theme. Remember again to check all the "extra" indicators for HS++, and use HomeScreen++ in the Home tab of your UltimateLaunch setup. You're done!

[size=+1]Original Wheee![/size]
Hello,
Super sorry to all people that PMed me about the theme, I didn't notice I had messages until today.
Here's a screenshot of the theme again:
And I'll try to give some instructions, but I don't think it's going to be very easy as I'm not good at explaining and the skins were made for my phone, so you will have to change some things. Anyway!
First, download the awesome Sticker icons pack from IconFactory. It's what inspired me to make the skin, many thanks to the icon creator! You can get it here: http://iconfactory.com/search/?q=Sticker
Then, to get the skin looking like my screenshot, you need to hide the softkeys. This worked for me, credits to original programmer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392804
It's not 100% needed for the skin, but I also advise you to at least get the "Segoe UI" font. I am not allowed to post it here, but search for it on Google or some torrent site, I'm sure you will find it easily. Then copy it to Windows\Fonts on your device, and soft reset. There's an excellent guide somewhere on the forum on how to make it the system skin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1730428&postcount=21).
Then, install my BatteryStatus theme (attached below). Just unzip the archive, and copy the folder and the xml files to your BatterStatus folder. Then go to BS Options, Advanced and choose the "Wheee" Theme-File. Also, you should UNcheck "show wifi-rows", no space for that. Go to the "TrayLaunch" tab and uncheck "TrayLaunch" too.
You might have to make some changes to the xml file for the skin to fully work on your pc. For example, my alarm program is pTravelAlarm, installed in the storage card, and the path is hard-coded into the XML. Change it to your alarm program exe. Same with setVolume - I have installed it on the storage card, change the path to what you like.
Then the Ultimate Launch settings. I can't post a file here (I don't think I can export them), but here are the settings I use:
Display tab: Margins: 2 Pixel, Fixed plugin-height: checked, 271 Pixel, colorize background: color 0, blurring 2, tab headers position: bottom.
Animation tab: Slide Animation: Slide, Click Animation: Slide, Animation Duration: 300 msec.
Headers tab: Height: 50 Pixel, Show grid: UNchecked, Inactive tabs transparent: UNchecked, blurring of inactive tabs: Low.
Behavior tab: Return to start tab: checked, after 1 minutes.
XP-Icon options tab: Size: 48 Pixel.
Then,
Tabs, uh, tab: Create a new tab "Combination of tabs", with the icon for "Home" and no name. Check "Open tab on startup". Inside that tab, create a "Today-plugin" tab named "Home", and choose the BatteryStatus plugin. Also create a shortcuts-tab named whatever you want, and in it: create a "Margin", with the options: Line break UNchecked, Horizontal: 30 Pixel, Vertical: 0 Pixel. Then, create an "Application Launcher", with XP-Icon of your choice (this is the little dinosaur that announces the missed calls / SMS!) and set the "Command" to: \Windows\tmail.exe and the "Parameter" to: -service "SMS". Go to "Display", and choose: "Item Alignment": Left. Click ok/ok/ok to get back to the main UltimateLaunch settings, and add any other tabs you'd like (programs, weather plugin, etc etc).
EDIT, 2/7/2008: As it seems most people want the bluetooth and wifi icons to toggle bt/wifi on click, there's an updated Wheee.xml file that does that in post #55!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2351208&postcount=55
Thanks, looks perfectly!
Thanks so much! This theme is very good
Great skin, thanks for sharing.
Hmm.. It would be better if you remove the taskbar or change the taskbar color to match with your skin..
Just an idea..

Yes, I'll do it sooner or later, but for now don't wanna start messing with Wisbar. Maybe I'll just change it to something different than black. What I want is to completely hide or skin it though. Thanks for the idea!
Also, I just saw this thread (http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16783495&p=1) (thanks extraducksauce!) and it gave me some ideas, so I made a couple new backgrounds. Here they are: (screenshot, then background file)
And best for me:
Sorry for the double post, forum didn't let me use more than 4 pictures in each post.
lol,so cute!~~~
I love it!~~
Thanks! Nearly made it! But I don't see how to make the dialog above the little dinosaur displaying the missed calls and unreaded sms... Also, do the bluetooth and wifi signs act as buttons or are they just indicators?

The missed calls and unread sms are displayed by BatteryStatus. If you don't have any missed stuff, it will show nothing! Try sending an SMS to your mobile, or calling and not answering, the correct bubble should appear.
The bluetooth and wifi are just indicators, but that's a personal preference (it's hard to click them with thumb), you can turn them into buttons very easily. Just edit Wheee.xml with Notepad, scroll to the bottom, find the line:
<image src="wifimini%d.png" top="-8" left="80"/>
and change it to this:
<image src="wifimini%d.png" top="-8" left="80" ontap="ToggleWiFi"/>
Same for Bluetooth a little further, but ontap="ToggleBluetooth". Should work!
Also, here are some Bluetooth / WIFI icons I made if you want to set up a Settings panel for UltimateLaunch. I only created them in 48x48 size though. Wifi antenna is taken from DeviantArt, I stuck it onto a sticker button.
(You have to download the .ico files to make these work with UltimateLaunch)
I'll change the Toggle wifi and Bluetooth, but anyway, I didn't get it on the screen...same for missing calls/sms, I didn't get it..(and as you can see in the top bar, I have some...)
Is there also a way to toggle profile ? by pushing this pink halfball ?
Anyway, how to come back to normal Alarm, standard windows...?

same questions,and I guess that the little dinosaur is on the backgoud.
Aaah, I see what is wrong now. Click and hold on the clock, select "Show Rows" and make sure all the rows are checked, especially "Messages".
The dinosaur is not on the background, it's an UltimateLaunch button. You can click on it, and it opens your SMS.
About Bluetooth and WiFi, I don't know because I haven't tried that on my mobile. I'll try it and tell you.
If you want to get back to your old home screen, it's easy, just select your old BatteryStatus theme or go to the Settings menu and un-select UltimateLaunch.
About toggling profiles: if you have SetVolume installed, find this line on the XML:
<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="Storage Card\Program Files\SetVolume\SetVolume.exe">
And change the path to where you have SetVolume installed. When you click on the "pink half-ball" SetVolume will launch.
Ah, also, forgot to mention it before, but if you want the skin to be useful, you should assign some gestures too. For example, I have no button for contacts, so I have set as a "downwards" gesture in the first UltimateLaunch tab to open iContact. Same for the second tab, it launches "All Programs".
edit: ALSO, one addition to the UltimateLaunch instructions! Open the settings, and on the tab with the dinosaur, go to Display. "Item Alignment" should be LEFT! Sorry, I forgot that before, so many settings for UL

I change all regarding what you said and get :
Bluetooth / Wifi are not toggling
Dinosaur link is not working
and problem of screen
All right. Don't know yet about BT / WIFI, but about the rest:
Screen problem: you have not removed the softkey bar... That's why there is not enough space for the screen setup. Refer to the first post if you want to remove the softkeys, or if you don't want to remove them: play a little with UltimateLaunch options (especially "Display" in general settings, and "Display" for the dinosaur sub-tab). Also, have you added a "Margin" before the dinosaur in the dinosaur tab? Should be 30 pixels horizontal, no line break.
About the dinosaur link not working. Maybe it's because your Windows are french? What's the tmail.exe location, should be \Windows\tmail.exe, try removing the "parameter" from the dinosaur button and if that opens up your Outlook we'll see from there.
Last, I guess you didn't install the "Segoe UI" font?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in fact, I didn't remove the softbar, but even when I did, it was like this
yes I add the margin, but 25, now I recognize what is the goal of this margin, I'll adjust it...
for the tmail, is it the same location in french , without any parameter, i open the windows where I have to look. I'll change the link to make it open pocketcm
and last but not least, didn't try to change the font for the moment...
No need to change it! Just add the font to your "Windows\Fonts" directory and soft-reset. Nothing will change for system fonts, but the SMS and call messages (for my BatteryStatus skin) will be in that font, and will look nicer.
Try playing with the fixed plugin-height value too in UL settings, lower it and see what happens. Damn, I wish UL had an export theme feature!
Last, tmail.exe -service "SMS" works for me... dunno what you need to change for that. Since you use PocketCM, it's ok I guess.
I'll do it
I play with fixed height, but also top / bottom and left / right margin to move the dinosaur, and the bottom tab-header
and link to pocketcm is great
I just miss now the toggle wifi and bluetooth
by the way, do u have a UL registered version or ?
and what about Segoe UI font ? can you pm me ?
I didn't find it...:'(
About the Bluetooth and WiFi toggles: they work, I'm just an idiot and gave wrong instructions before
The ontap="" stuff must be added to the line before (Item class="registry_tracker"), not the one I posted. So:
Find:
Code:
<Item class="registry_tracker">
<image src="wifimini%d.png" top="-8" left="80"/>
and change to:
Code:
<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="ToggleWiFi" onhold="MenuWiFi">
<image src="wifimini%d.png" top="-8" left="80"/>
Find:
Code:
<Item class="registry_tracker">
<image src="bluemini%d.png" top="23" left="-23"/>
and change to:
Code:
<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="ToggleBluetooth" onhold="MenuBlueTooth">
<image src="bluemini%d.png" top="23" left="-23"/>

Alright, this is the first package i've ever made so feel free to throw granades at me for having bugs and.. bugs.
if you do EXACTLY what this says you will get the EXACT setup i have (considering our devices are not running differently for some reason).
MUST install ALL of these on DEVICE (NOT storage card)
1. Install UltimateLaunch - http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/ultimatelaunch/download/ultimatelaunch_en.cab
2. Install rlToday - http://rotlaus-software.de/download-manager.php?id=13
3. Install Connstate - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=47008&d=1187008834
4. Install WeatherPanel - http://rapidshare.com/files/140386707/WeatherPanel_TRIAL08_Fixed_CAB.zip
5. Install Calendar+ - http://www.mohairsofa.com/content/downloads/calplus.CAB
6. Install NueNobar 1.3 - http://www.nuerom.com/nueDownload/download.aspx?id=37
!. if you want the hardware keys shortcuts using HButton -
http://hbutton.dyndns.org/downloading.jsp?name=HButton_2.3_WM5.CAB
you can install it and run it...
and use the config file i put for you in \Program Files\Hbutton to import my settings to your Hbutton.
check the config files to see what you need to click to run different apps.
for me, Hbutton runs CommManager, iGO8, QUIT, iContact, Enable/Disable WIFI, Enable/Disable BT.
if you need help with that, contact me.
(after installing rlToday,Connstate,Weatherpanel and Calendar+ please go to start/settings/today/items/ and make sure
ONLY UltimateLaunch is marked otherwise you'll get a "DLL Is already active" message).
7. Download Rumball's WeatherPanel Theme and Icons - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781
You can download ANY version you like BUT:
a. put ALL the ICON files in \Storage Card\Program Files\Manila WP Icons\
b. put the THEME files in \Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Themes\Manila
c. a quick note: if you want the 5 day forcast setup i have, rename the Manila.wpl to something else
and then change the file name: Manila-TL-5day.wpl to Manila.wpl
d. i also included a reg file in your \storage card\my documents folder.
incase your weatherpanel setup gets screwed and you start seeing small icons just run the reg file.
8. INSTALL nir36 ULDSetup.cab AND RESET YOUR DEVICE!
http://rapidshare.com/files/149797293/nir36_ULDSetup.cab
9. you will see the WRONG rlToday skin so click and hold on the rlToday skin and choose the Diamond skin
10. In the contacts page you will see 12 contact pictures. you need to switch them with 54x72 icons of your contacts
you should use Any2Icon (http://www.aha-soft.com/anytoicon/any2icon.exe) to convert pictures to .ico files to put in
\Storage Card\My Documents\Icons\ContactIcons. Make SURE these icons are named exactly as the icons in this dir.
11. now i need feedback on this.
i put some strings in the registry which are supposed to set Cal+ to show only 1 appointment for the Home Page.
if it works, you won't have to touch it. if not..click and hold the Calendar+ today item in the Home page and choose
to view 1 APPOINTMENT. please let me know if the reg file works automatically so i can delete this section.
Install these on your device if you want the shortcuts i made fit them

Thanks man

What is vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe for? I have open registry file vjtasknosoft.reg but do not know how to apply it.

vjtoggletoday lets you hide your softkeys.. your systray and your taskbar.
you HAVE to use it for this skin.. otherwise you won't have enough room for everything.
(you can obviously not use it and change my ini file as well).
to use the registry file you need:
http://rapidshare.com/files/130331161/TaskMan2.9Regedit_and_links.rar.html
extract TaskMgr 2.exe and Regedit.lnk to your windows directory and from start/programs run Regedit. after it loads, search for an option to Register Registry files to Regedit so you can run them independently... and run the Vj...reg file. that will do for that.
this regards everyone!!!
in TaskMan2.9 rar file i'm posing here i included Softreset.exe and it's shortcut. both should be put in the /windows directory.
if anyone's interested, i've added a different HomePage look:
I'm posting the rar file needed for this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/130330782/AltHomePage.rar.html
what you need to do is:
- install o2plus2.3.cab
- put the ini file in your UL directory
- extract the Diamond-NoSMSorMC.rar file into your rlToday directory and in the rlToday options choose the "daemon" skin. (there is a font ttf file included in this rar file, you're invited to put it in your /windows/fonts dir).
enjoy
EDIT: in the original version of the Diamond Clock for rlToday (which is included with the rar in this post), nothing happens when you click the clock. i edited the XML file which is supposed to go to the /program files/rltoday/daemon folder so that when you click it you can change clock settings. this is important for any of you who uses the alarms. (i use it on a daily basis).
what you need to do is switch the skin.xml file in the /program files/rltoday/daemon folder with the xml provided.
http://rapidshare.com/files/130342399/skin.xml.html
A few changes
- Moved HomePage o2plus and SMS/MMS today plugins to the middle of the screen.
- Changed the rlToday XML to open Clock when left side of clock is clicked and to open Tasks (for those of you who use it a lot like me), when the right side of the clock is clicked.
- Changed the WeatherPanel WPD WPX WPL files to show the fonts in a nicer more centered way and not to be thrown out of the screen.
- Changed one of the icons in the programs section to the calculator instead of thumbcal (which is run by an upwards gesture on the calendar screen).
- Added a margin to the Internet screen so that the icons are detached from the upper part of the screen (easily clicked).
This is what you need:
http://rapidshare.com/files/130690159/Files18july2008.rar
copy everything from there to the right directories (as they are set inside the rar file).
2 more things.
1. I use HButton to QUIT applications, run iGO8, Comm Manager, iContact, Disable/Enable Bluetooth. this is why they don't appear in the skin.. they're all button controlled. if you need help with HButton let me know.
2. I'm gonna keep all previous posts with the previous files set as they are so that if anyone prefers previous settings he/she can enjoy them.
cheers
i'm asking anyone who has additions, changes and comments about this to please post them here so i can add them and apply them myself.
thank you in advance.
Alright,
Enhancments:
i took James Kuang's (thank you james) rlToday skin (found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409370) and altered it a bit.. to look.. different (changed the XML to show different fonts, edited the clock background in photoshop to be white... yada yada)
a little lighter and fitting with my UltimateLaunch settings.
What you need to do to get that is download the rar file given here, install VJphoneshortcuts from the rar file, and put the Diamond folder in your rlToday folder in program files. then, choose Diamond as the skin in rlToday instead of the old one. (install VJphoneshortcuts on your DEVICE).
whoever took my last advice and installed o2plus - uninstall it now. i included the same setup within the rlToday skin.
also, when clicking the date on the upper right side, it brings up Thumbcal.. and the other settings are still on. clicking the left side of the clock brings up the clock setting and the right side brings up Tasks.
when clicking the number of sms's or the pic next to it, it loads "Messaging"
when clicking the number of missed calls or the pic next to it, it loads "Call History" (you must install VJphoneshortcuts for the missed calls shortcut to work).

Att'd files all report as Malware
Can't download over Rapidshare
Update 7:
This is my current setup (without the Contacts Page .. it is still the same and is shows on the first page of this thread):
Changes:
- removed tray so that there's more room
- HomePage: Brought back the Next Appointment Bar in rlToday skin
- HomePage: clicking on the right side of the clock brings up ThumbCal Tasks
- HomePage: clicking on the date brings up Thumbcal New Task
- Clicking on the Next Appointment bar brings up Thumbcal Today
- Added margins to some of the tabs
- Programs Page: S2P icon replaced with RegEdit since S2P runs using upwards gesture in HomePage
- Calendar+ Page: Upwards gesture brings up Thumbcal 1.0.6 Monthly/Weekly view
- Internet Page: 2 New icons - Wifi Available Networks and Bluetooth Settings. (NOTICE bluetooth button in homepage is for moBlue2.1 while in Internet Page it's for Bluetooth Settings)
Here is the file you need to UPDATE to this setup:
http://rapidshare.com/files/133087891/Update7.rar.html
updating:
1. put the Ultimatelaunch.ini file in your UL dir.
2. put the updated rlToday skin from the program files dir in the rar file to the specified dir.
3. put MSBluetooth.lnk and Network Adapters.lnk in your device's ROOT dir.
4. put vjtoggletodayalphaII in your windows/startup dir (if you haven't already done so in earlier setups) and run the vjtasknosoft....reg file.
5. you MUST install Thumbcal version 1.0.6 (supplied in rar) for the HomePage links to work, otherwise you must setup the options yourself in UL setup.
6. for the dialer, install 2G Htc Dialer.cab and poorlyduck diamond dialer.cab
7. icontact 1.01 is supplied
I must remind you again that not all applications are included in this setup. for instance, i run iGO8, iContact, Enable/Disable Bluetooth/Wifi and Quit using HButton (it is included in the first page of this thread as part of the main setup).
enjoy

Soft keys
nir36 - thank you for a great Ultimate Launch setup
I am trying to get this to work on my Polaris and am installing your setup a bit at a time. One question though is I have 2 soft keys at the bottom of my today screen. This causes a vertical scroll bar to appear on the right of the screen and ruins the overall effect.
Is there a particular part of your installation that removes these soft keys? I have previously tried the program dciNoBar which is supposed to do this, but it does not function correctly with my ROM.
Do you have any suggestions?

putting the file vjtoggletodayalphaII in your startup menu and applying the supplied registry file for it will remove the softkeys.

Well, here it is, the first beta of the first iApps release!
You can read about the iApps open source dev team here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486618
iLaunch is a finger-friendly applications launcher for Windows Mobile PocketPC phones. It's easily skinnable, intuitive, and could be used instead of the standard Windows Mobile Start Menu.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It is based on iContact (supbro version) source code, available here:
http://supware.net/iContact
iContact is used as a "scrollable framework" for applications that will have the same look and feel: the same iContact original skins will be included by default: "default" and "iPhone". The "default" skin will have a diamond-like look and feel, and the "iphone" skin will be designed to be as similar to the iPhone look as possible.
iLaunch settings can be found in the Windows Mobile system settings menu. A soft reboot may be required after installing iLaunch before the iLaunch settings icon will appear in the menu.
iLaunch is built around this idea:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428064
So iLaunch gives you 5 tabs that can be linked to 5 folders under "Windows\Start Menu"
By default the folders (but you can rename or change them) are:
- Office Mobile
- Multimedia
- Programs
- Connections
- System Tools
Each tab shows a scrollable list of links that you can use to start applications.
You can also use StartButton to replace the default Start Menu with iLaunch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486712
iLaunch tabs can be customized with the language file located in "program files\iLaunch".
By default you find here "english.lng", which can be used a base for transaltions
There is a "+" button in the top right side, near the title of the tab:
as for now it does nothing, but the code to make it work will be ready for the next beta!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick Start
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
iLaunch is based on tabs: each tab gets its linked programs from a folder on the device.
Please remember also that this is the first beta, so there are some things that will be better in the next releases
As for now:
1. You have to create up to 5 folders in your "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
A quick way to do this is using the cab linked above, but you can do it as you want.
2. You have to copy links to programs/applications inside the created folders.
A very handy tool to do this is Total Commander, but you can do it with any file manager.
3. Then you need to "update" the tab: if you click on the tab icon (while the tab is already selected) the
list of links is updated.
4. It is possible to change the name of the folders editing the english.lng file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The source code is available through Svn at GoogleCode:
http://code.google.com/p/ilaunch2/
iLaunch is a beta release, so please tell us about bugs/requests/etc!
Did we forget anything? Oh, yes... where is the Paypal button?
It's hard to believe, but the Paypal link is not a required feature of Xda!
So, if you really want to thank us for our work, go here instead:

Installed it and hooked it right away to my start button. Only files in the "multimedia" category show up. Other categories are all empty. Do i have to add them manually?
/edit: Oops... forgot to mention that it looks great and runs smoothly.

You have to create the folders, like this:

And then add your links to the folders.
Next beta will have different ways to add links to the tabs
wow! it's very fast! great project! good work!
Nice app! Working smoothly on a WVGA Toshiba G900. I noticed just one bug so far (and probably a known one) - the program doesn't adapt to landscape. It's just displayed in a 640x640 square after rotating screen (besides that, works fine). After going back to portrait, it looks as it should.
As for feature requests/proposals:
* some basic task manager would be nice to have (browsing, switching and closing tasks - like QuickMenu)
* command line parameters to launch the program with different tabs open (especially the task manager tab, if implemented) should be useful
* this one might be a long shot but hey, who knows - maybe someone will like it? So, how about having one tab with nothing but a text field in it. As you type, a list of applications and applets from entire start menu containing the typed string in their name is displayed below the textfield. So typing "Wi" would display a list with "Wi-Fi" control panel applet, "Wireless manager" and "Windows media player". Typing in "Not" would cause "Notepad", "New Note" and "OneNote Mobile" to pop up. Something like a PC program Launchy. It shouldn't be much harder to implement than an alphabetical list of all apps in the start menu, but much easier to navigate. And easier still if the SIP popped up when you open this tab (preferably configurable behavior - some devices have a hardware keyboard after all).
Anyway, i hope this app grows into a real Start Menu, or even better - QuickMenu replacement
Thanks works perfect on my Touch Pro

I don't think this could work without a real full-size hardware keyboard, but we'll think about it!
I'm getting an issue on my Omnia where i have to spam any buttons on the multiple times before it registers.
It most defintely isn't lag as when i press it once and leave it for 5 mins it still doesn’t changes tabs, but spamming it like 3 times in a second changes to another tab.

Ok you know how at the very bottom, there's the bar with multiple icons, that leads to the applications, multimedia, office mobile etc tabs?
Those buttons for some weird reason only respond on my omnia with a minimum of two taps, that is i have to tap the same button twice or more in a second for it to respond and change to the said tab.
All the tabs except for the office mobile tabs are blank as well, so i doubt its trying to load the tab contents.

The folder creation cab is not necessary, it is just a quick way to create some folders in the right place!
But you have to create some folders (and then put some links inside them) which will be linked to iLaunch's tabs: you can do this in the way you prefer - personally I use Total Commander
For more details, see "Quick start" added to the first post.

The source code is available via Svn at GoogleCode:
http://code.google.com/p/ilaunch2/
You can use a Svn client like TortoiseSVN (free and opensource):

Using Svn is so much better than uploading an (outdated) zip with the source

Hi allelimo
If the program is only for English Roms?
Code:
[B] // localized start menu/programs folder[/B]
// localized folder name (from language file)
