POCKET facelift any other programs like this?

Hello all...
I used POCKET facelift 1.7 on my XDA 1, loved it etc.. but now with my XDA 2 it has loads of bugs etc and it seems they are not planning to get it fixed for 2003 that quick either..
Are there simliar programs which work fine with the XDA 2 ?
I prefer to have full screen themes
Ok thanxs already!!

DvL :twisted:

yes! Dashboard, very fast with no bugs I use it with Dashmobile skin from wincustomize.com

true
dashboard is ok.. but you need to install wisbar also to get a fullscreen feeling..
pocketfacelift is a program that does both..
i am looking for somthing similar to that.. no use to have 2 apps if you only need 1
:twisted:

Well since PocketBlinds and Wisbar advance does not display the notifications I prefer to use Omega One Battery Pack which includes a very nifty close (and minimize) button, however it does not skin the taskbar, which again I think is good...

i prefer dashboard (beta 2045 for wm2003) as wisbar doesn't suport phone features, and pocketblinds doesn't support wm2003 yet. Seems to work really well and is easy to customize with skins and shortcuts

...Now I'm trying SBP's Pocket Plus, since I noticed that my Caller ID Monitor was not functioning and I found that Omega One's Battery Pack Close Button did not liked it... Also SBP's much quicker and responsive.
So far I think SBP Pocket Plus is a much better closer app.
We'll see...

Must have apps?

I'm new to the windows mobile world but I'm loving my 8525. After a few days of reading I successfully upgraded to vp3g WM6 rom.

Must have APPS )for me at least( .. Wisbar Advanced, Pocketbreeze, Phonealarm, PocketRSS, Madden 2006, Call of Duty 2.. Weatherpanel, Virtual Pool.. um .. yeah thats pretty much all I need..

Great choice, I have the vp3g 2.0 on my 8525 as well.
Currently I'm running (must have):
New Kaiser HTC Home Plugin
IM+ (for aim and google talk)
Opera browser
Resco Explorer
SPB Backup
Other junk:
SBSH Weather (not sure if its my favorite or not)
Slide2Unlock (dont know why I installed it)
Tweaks:
shogun cingy threaded sms hack (threaded sms conversation like on treo)

Got a link? did a search with no results.

My favourites are - Opera Browser, SPB Insight, SPB Diary, SPB Mobile Shell, SPB Backup, 1-Calc, Monopoly, Scabble, Microsoft Reader, TomTom 6, Google Maps, PHM RegEdit and Snails. Hope this long list helps.

If you like adding software - the first thing above all else to get is a full backup application. I use SPB backup but there are others. It will save you from having a miserable time when you have to do a hard reset (which you will at some point!)

I have been through alot of programs, and the one I can seem to live without is SPB Phone Suite. I find with the last 3 roms I have tried from here, this seems to work on all of them. And that makes me very happy.
I lke SPB Mobile Shell too. 23 years of being a jet aircraft mechanic, my fingers aren't what they used to be.
For IM try Octro
Others are The Core Pocket Mobile Player, MobiBlgr, Pocket Mechanic, and Nine Hole Golf.
I am still working on mixing and matching, but these I use the most.
I did alot of searching around and have a good compilation of programs. I had a Toshiba E740 when I was stationed in Japan, and I still have a few cool things from that stuuf I would like to find new versions of for my 8525.

Must Have Apps to install

Since I got my Touch Dual I haven't really installed any apps on it at all. Do you guys have any recommendations of Software to install? I'm not really into games, but any cool, geeky, or useful stuff would be great..

I'd like to have Adobe Flash Player LIte 3, but no way to find it....
<sigh>

- Notification queue clear
- edit registry
- System Tweak - Optimize for Memory or Speed (changes some settings)
- enable/disable Startup application / Service / Today's plugin

Hi mini_man,
Can you help me with the phone skin, I saw you used the HTC Dialer Skin, I read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311557, that there were some problems, using alot of memory and no video calling and loosing the G & 3G top icons and uninstall problems, I am not concerned about the Video calls as I never do them and I hate the touch Dual standard phone interface, I just want the normal clean looking interface. Are you having any problems with yours and where did you get it? THanks.

Your looking at the wrong dialer.

This one works fine and has video etc. It was taken from the the HTC Touch Dual Rom.

UltimateLaunch Calendar

i must be dumb, cause i couldn't find anything about this in any of the Ultimatelaunch threads. i just started using UL yesterday and i want to use a combined tab for 3 today plugins. HTC Home, Tasks, Calendar. unfortunatly, tasks and calendar DO NOT appear in the Today Plugin menu in UL.. so instead i'm using SPB Diary.
does anyone have any idea how to add them?
thank you very much.

your right, UL cant display some of the build in original windows plugins, Daniel wrote me that they are completly different coded or something.

SPB Diary is too heavy for me.. i would like to use something lighter. can you recommend on something similar to the regular ones that i can add?

Today Agenda

try freeware: "todayagenda"

yep... same limitation for throttlelauncher. Only DLL based plugins have the possibility to be embeded inside other today plugin. You can check HKLM\software\Microsoft\Today\Items\*****\ (where ***** is the plugin name) for the key DLL. If it exists, the plugin can be embeded... If not... search for an alternative .

I just find it easier to interact with than Today Agenda, SPB Diary and PocketBreeze

thank you very much

Contact Manager softwares

Hi,
Is there any good contact manager softwares with stunning skins for gene?
I tried the Yoto Qvga..but that does not even start.
-Neo

You should search for contact manager software for the WinMo version you are using instead of specifically Gene.
You can get many.

Thanks..
Tried a few other and liked o3touch and icontact as the best for use.
But is there a way to remove the windows 6.1 native default dialer(pink colored skin) with some thing new as the above dialers cum contact managers once dialled takes to the windows native dialer for dialing?
-Neo

The best available dialer cum contact cum profile manager is iconsoft Phone Ex. Another one is Inesoft dialer, a bit complex as compared to Phone Ex but with more features. Another one is Resco Contact Manager. If you like I-contact then you can also try Funcontact from Vito Technology.
However, having tried all the dialers I feel, that though nice all of them are RAM guzzlers. I feel that the fastest (though not the most good looking) is the default Winmo dialer and the default Contact manager. You can make the latter scrollable by installing FtouchFlo or some custom ROM. For making the default dialer look pretty, several skins are available. I personally prefer Zombienexus skins for the dialer.
