Tabbed today-plug ins - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

just wanted to know if there was something other than pocket breeze that can do this for me. I like that function of PB but I want to use those free task and calender plug-ins instead of the ones it comes with.

You can add any today plug-in to a pocketbreeze tab. Then just disable the built-in calendar & task tabs. Violia, you have what you want.

You can't disable the calendar tab. I use Wisbar Advanced Desktop to get multiple desktops. Not free, but that might work for you.

I love what I've seen from other people using WAD but I love my magic button and I hear that WAD is a huge memory vacuum. I guess I got to do what I got to do to make my wizard casting it's spells on my impressed friends, though.

Only-fingers project

Hi all. I am new on this great forum.
There are some stylus-free application but I would like that there is a complete stylus-free application for everything on a windowsmobile (not only the contacts or the music player) so can we make a project to use our WM without stylus?
PS: I know there are pointui, and other ui but they are only UI so I want (if possible) a complete stylus-free application
We already have some applications:
pointUI for the UI
Icontact or pockeetCM for the contacts
the music player from the touch or the manila player
and now what about the others applications?
Internet browsing: opera 9.5 from the manila
best virtual Keyboard stylus-free: ?
So, my wish is that we make a .cab with as much as possible finger-friendly application to have a better and faster control for all WM.
I hope you agree and we (the community) make a complete stylus-free application for all uses on WM.
EDIT: If you didn't understand what I mean, I would like that the TOUCH developper get together and create only one powerful application and not creat many more (I think there are more than 10 UI apps) even if they are great I think it will be better that you make one complete application.

brilliant idea
couldnt agree more bud

thanks!
I'm waiting on developpers

SO you know all the fingerfriendly apps, so what is this thread about ???
Are you waiting for a developer who makes 4 cabs to one ??
Are you to lazy to install 4 cabs or what ? Sorry man, this is junior bull****, install pointui, opera, pocketcm and thumbcal, this can´t be to difficult also for noobs.

I've already installed them. They are great but for example I must use the stylus for the calendar, the start menu, the settings, the pictures/videos gallery...
And I want to never have to use the stylus.

Thumbcal is a great Calendar wich is made for "touchfeeling"

so you can find her thumbCal ,a completly fingerfriendly calendar and with point ui, ultimatelaunch or thousands of other launchers here you dont need starmenue, settings or something like that, so again, what is this thread about ,
here is a list of some apps i use:
PointUI
thumbCal
PocketCm
s2u2, s2p, s2v
diamond keyboard
opera 9.5
SO PLEASE SEARCH ! If you really tried all this apps then i dont know why you need your stylus ? To make on GUI out of all this isnt usefull because every user whats something special and installing the applications YOU want is so easy. the easiest and most powerfull GUI ist pointui, then you use thumbcal., for media the s2-apps (or the HTC Apps) and for browsing opera 9.5 (or opera mini) and another keyboard thats it.

Be aware! Most of these have *opposite* vertical scrolling than pointui. However I think pointui scrolling is SUPERIOR because I can scroll much faster

I have also created folders in my windows\start menu so now programs of similar groups (office, internet, etc) gets put in their respective folder. This greatly reduced the clutter when trying to launch programs from either pointui or quick menu.
Now the only time I draw out the stylus is when I need to scratch on the note - finger just can't do that, at least not yet

Speak to Schaps - he's currently looking for beta testers for a new Touch Menu UI he's been developing for the past 6 months...
Link here: Schaps new Touch UI

I don't think this is a good idea because there are tons of finger-friendly apps...
And you have only to chose the one fits better to your needs....
So you must try them to figure out which is the best for you.....

All these apps are great, but there is a big problem:
it is not always possible to use them all, because there are many features which are double implemented.
for example: pocketcm ist not just for contacts, also for sms, etc.
pointui has a gui for contacts too but not for sms, and so on...
it would be nice, if those developers will make a new project together and each of them will do what he can do best (pointui-team should make the gui, pocketcm-developer the contacts, etc.).

Too bad its not for herald or any other device.

Thank you for the apps. but I wanted that the developpers make one cab that complete changes the WM so all these apps in 1. Because If you activate the ui, you open the webbrowser, you sand a sms, .... you have space memory problems. For example: with my touch (p3450) if I use pointui home and then listen to music, the touch is very slow,..
So I would like that the developpers (I'll help them if I can and can be a beta-tester) make one app that COMPLETE changes the WM from the ui to the sms app, settings,...
Please, I hope you understand what I mean,thx.

What I'm getting from this is you want every single "touch" developer to get together and create what would essentially be one HUGE interface application, with everything built in? You're asking way too much here, just appreciate the fact that there are so many separate developers and applications for you to pick and choose from.
Edit:
Forgot to suggest waiting to buy a Touch Diamond or Touch Pro. That's my plan, haha.

^^ Yes you're a bit right... it's not necessary to use these apps but yes I want an everything built in application because when I install many touch apps, my PPC has some bugs and goes slowly...therefor I want a complete app
EDIT: haha I can't because I've bought another phone for 2 weeks^^ (n*kia N82)

Calendar for Today?

Does anyone know of a simple Calendar plug-in for Today screen which will just show me the Month view? Preferably free... I have used Quick Cal but its not free. Also should be able to accommodated the HTC Today plug-in. Wish that had a calendar view in a tab!

Well I dont know quick cal, but maybe Calendar+ is something for you.
http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10

rl-today is another option. basic skins usually have the monthly view. though is much more (and more complex) than a today plug.in

Thanks I downloaded the rlCalendar. Really good since you can customize it so easily. Only if it had a calendar "scroll" option where one could see future months. But will do for the moment.

I have not tested rl calendar but in rl today it is really easy to add several months at a time. to have a button to go forward and backwards showing months you will need some more advanced stuff with rl-today and mortscript.

How to integrate Pocket Informant 8 into SE Panel 2

Hi everyone,
the question is simple as you can see on the headline.
I'm testing the trial version of Pocket Informant 8 and that program is great. Nice usabalitiy and functions.
But I only use the SE Panel 2, that one with a monthly calendar, clock, to-do etc. not the main Panel. The problem here is, that PI8 would not fully integrate on that panel. Only the contact list works well, but I use a shortcut. If I would go on the monthly view, the X1 kicks me to the normal calendar.
Does someone know how to make it? I had activate PI8 as the standard calendar as well, but no use. :/

use the SoftKeyApplet.cpl and change the left softkey to PocketInformant
(google for the applet)

Not working

In that case the calendar on the panel screen as well as the agenda items still refer to the old WM mobile agenda. Or am I doing something wrong?

Nobody knows how to solve this?

Nope u'r right, only the softkey for the calendar is then for PI, but the panel buttons are still the old winmob calendar.
Didn't found out anything until now, hope we can get help, I really like the calendar and have no idea how to change the registry savetly.^^

I use PI8 extensively and am thinking of getting an X1 so gonna bump this in the hope that someone has a solution.
thanks!

The only solution I was forced to use is to disable them... they take too long to load anyway, and functionality is limited.
Use the free SPB Mobile X panel instead; on their forums there is a free plugin download, that integrates it with PI 8.

I use the SPB mobile panel and have also downloaded the Pocket Informant (PI) plugin from Spb. Now the Calender correctly loads the PI calender but the contacts tab on the spb shell still directs to the win mob contacts page
Anyone found a way to integrate the PI contacts to the 3rd tab for contacts on the Spb mobile panel ?

I think the original WM Today Screen is the best.
It is very flexible and you can add any plugin u want.
Just put some plugins and you are good to go.
I really dont understand why many people overlook the functionality of the Today Screen which can get anything done in one screen. Unlike TF3D, SPB Shell, or the X Panel which have to scroll pages.

Am I the only one that I like the window today screen??

To be honest, I tried the touch flo 3d, the home 2, but the only thing I like is the normal, clean windows mobile today screen i like it, its neat , organized, and the xperia wallpaper gives it an elegant look. I alos modified the left menu key to initiate a new sms
what do u think?

I like it's neat clean look, but I prefer using the SE Today Panel.

Same here, a big fan of Winmo Today screen. When I jumped ship from Palm OS to Winmo, the Today screen really makes me forget I ever had a Palm OS device... Although the fond memories of rock hard stability creeps out now and then.
Currently Using itje's incredible Touch-IT v4.5 ROM. The Touchflo is nice, but more of a gimmick then anything else... Give me plain old Today screen anytime.

It just seems easier on the Today screen, that's why I have a lite rom installed, along with TF3d and panels.

I tend to always end up back at the default today screen. Something just nice about it.

Yeah I use it all the time now as it seems to be the most customisable without being fiddley and does all I want it too... I would like a today that is a combination of several of the panels but so far have found nothing that I like more than the normal today...

i use the today screen as my default screen when at work as i like to be in control of how many appointments are displayed, reminders, etc. it's nice to be able to switch to another panel for the weekends though ...
i'm a bit concerned about some of the screenshots for wm 6.5. does the today screen still exist ?

The standard Today just works. Give you access to what a PDA is for, PIM. There is a plugin called TodayAgenda which makes it perfect though.

glad you guys think the same way
btw, any idea how to make a shortcut for the start button? I downloaded a program, H button, that enables me to long press a key and a program comes up... but i want to access the start menu that way

Are you trying to assign a hardware key to Start Menu? If so, go to Start>Settings>Buttons

All this talk is making me want to use the Today panel more! I just tweaked it a little bit and I'm going to give it a try next week.
Does anybody know of a way to get more programs on it? Skype is on the list, and I think TomTom is, but I'd like a couple others.

I need to use the today screen to see the G-Alarm plugin, how much Internet traffic I had this month (SPB Wireless). Also I find it very convenient to use Elecont Dialer (a scrollable row of contacts to call or sms) and Elecont Launcher (a scrollable row of apps).
So I usually end up using it, even if SPB Shell is more touch-friendly. It just doesn't display all the information I need in one screen.

I always seem to go back to the spb panel as my default. its simple and looks clean i think compared with tf3d and point ui. im hopeing that when the new 3.0 shell comes out that it wont replace the spb x1 panel (although i know it will).

I've tried all the panels, shells etc. You name them, I've tried them. As said before, the Touch-IT v4.5 ROM is nice, but gimmicky. I admit I've installed it, but only to get GPS tagging of photos. I untick it in Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items immediately after it's installed.
I appreciate all the work that's gone into developing it, but its way too busy for me
My preferred interface is iFonz 2. The interface can be as simple or as 'busy' as you like. I prefer to have just a few icons of the programs I use regularly on screen as well as icons for the frequently called contacts. Also its very finger friendly.
For the programs that I use infrequently, it's no hassle to find them in Start -> Programs, and contacts are easy to find in iContacts

Hey friends, I'm with you. I think the today screen is one of the best inventions of Microsoft and is really underrated. It just makes sense to have active plugins share the most precious place on a mobile - the information screen after switching the device on. I think the iPhone is ridiculous in this regardö - just showing icons of the programs that can be launched is lame. Also, there are really powerful plugins available for Windows Mobile. I'm personally using the built in date/time and messages plugin together with PocketBreeze for all the organizer stuff and PocketPlus for system status (battery, memory), finger friendly app launcher and additional plugins as tab (spb weather actuall). Then I use the system tray as quicklaunch and for showing the currently selected phone profile from PhoneWeaver and my softkeys start Contacts and WM5NewMenu, with which I can very quickly place a new appointment, SMS, Email, Note and so on. With this setup, I can really use the device, not only play. Everything is just one or two clicks/actions away and I always have a good overview of what's going on.
I really don't understand why so many people want a better iPhone instead of a good Windows Mobile device. Windows Mobile has drawbacks but also strong points, of which the today screen is one of the strongest I think.

I am also a big fan of the Windows today page. I think it's the only one that can be entirely adapted to everyone's need, all other software are nice graphically, but not as effective as a well prepared today page.

Pocket Informant intigration on Touch Flow 3D

Hi,
is there any way to integrate Pocket Informant (agenda view) on the Toch Flow 3 D , maybe by clicking on the calender (so that PI opends in agenda view)?

This really depends how touchflow works.
There are 2 ways. Touchflow can adress the default calander, or the actual program. In previous releases, it adressed the actual program. So big change this will be the case again. Also, from what I've seen, the only way to still open the agenda is installing a 3th party calendar.
When you launch the standarrd Calander app, it will redirect you to the touchflow 3d calender tab. I have to say it's irritating to see that there is no option to go to the real agenda.
As for pocket informant, when you install it you can work with it. Everything you fill in there will come into the regular agenda, en thus also in touchflow 3d.
I expect you won't be able to launch pocketinformant from the touchflow agenda.
(it's upto the pocketinformant developers to decide if they release a tool that integrates with touchflow 3d, but it probably will be the XDA people who will make this possible. Hopefully, with a single program instead of a full rom
I base this information on video's I've seen and past experiences with touchflow. (So haven't had the device in my hands yet)

Another simple option (till we could have a solution)could be to programm a hardware butten in order to open PI agenda view (subject there is any button left /available on the Touch Pro 2.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493810
Helps?
I am not 100% sure if it is TF3D2 compatible.
But in TF3D you (on my PRO) you can then use the srings of the shortcuts of PI to alter the links...
Hope it helps.
