I need some help guys (and probably girls considering the number of members ). I'm looking for a todayplugin that show's me battery and memory status, some other things are fine, but not bulky.
Thats realy the problem, I cannot seem to find a good plugin that does what I need. Most of them are plain ugly, others have 10000 options and the last category does not support VGA!
If you happen to have a great plugin as discribed above, i'd like to know where you got it
Thanks a lot in advance!

Try SPB pocketplus, the best for that in my opinion.

Hi all,
Im the happy owner of the Qtek 9100 and Im a newbie in this area. Ive been searching around in this forum and can see that there are some awesome people here who really know thier **** ;-)
Well the more I read the more confused I get regarding programs etc etc and I really need some guidance regarding how I actually create a desktop on my Qtek which is similar to the one you might find on a pc ?
I really would like to have ikons on the desktop so that I dont have to navigate through the start menu.
Can anyone help me ? I am a very huge fan of free software and hate to download trial versions
Let me know what software I need and were to find it. Youre more than welcome to catch me ny msn on [email protected]

Check out this thread:

This is quite good though not free - http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
Works like a PC desktop - bit slow performance in places though.

Best FREE software to make it desktop like with icons...
go to www.pocketpcfreeware.com (or pocketpcfreewares.com cant remember sorry)... but do a search for cLauncher. it is a sweeet program. and it is free. it gives you menu's and lets you put icons in those menus (all on the today screen).
PocketWeather isn't bad eithor for a free weather forcast on your today screen.
Edited
Howdy,
I have seen all of the threads on the subject, and seen the proggy, and know the sensitivity around all this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289523
However, it obviously makes sense for someone to cook it so that the iphone looking front end is cooked into a good rom with the stability of a
schraps, or a black satin, etc.
I have tried setting it up separately, but I am a newbie, and have bricked 1 hermes already trying reset it after I screwed it up.
Has this not happened because of the sensitivity on the matter or something else?
Again looking for rom load that uses the apple looking screen already cooked to a rom for a hermes (HTC wm6)
Thanks in advance
obiviously I am referring to the fornt end picture per this url
http://mobilecrunch.com/wp-content/iPhone1.jpg
Claunch is a today plugin that launches applications. Why do you need it cooked in ?! What you're showing in your picture is a regular iPhone. What are you talking about exactly ?
Making the hermes look like an iphone
sorry
What I was trying to say is that they have the skins now to make the hermes (or I guess any wm6 phone) look like an iphone.
But I find the apps/skins not the easiest thing to use/get right/tweak.
Launch on start up etc.
So what I was trying to spit out was has anyone cooked the proggy/skin that does this into a rom so it doesn't to be tweaked.
cheers
I dont understand why this Iphone home screen suppose to be such good think.
The most important thinks that I need in my first look would be my appointments, outstanding task etc. Iphone screen just provides shortcuts for some applications. Well I may not get really what is it about.
Anyhow you can do such thing without any issues and any special rom. what you need is the Iphone icons (I am sure there are hundreds in the web) then the wisbar advance Desktop.
Iphone looking launch screen
Thanks Bulldog.
Love it or hate it, the simplicity of the iphone, skin, is it is good looking and functional.
It is also the benchmark that all other phones will be measured against for a long time (as the phone has not arrived outside the US yet).
Thanks for your tip but wisbar is not quite slick enough.
There are others but they too are not quite right.
I am sure someone has cooked it all in one.
It wouldn't be worth cooking claunch into rom. It's a tiny app, and the pleasure of it is customising it to launch the apps you want to launch.
I've written several guides for claunch, hunt around. But it's a simple app.
What might be useful is if someone makes an all-in-one iphone-alike pack. And those probably do exist. Burning claunch into ROM wouldn't be very helpful.

all-in-one iphone-alike pack
Any direction you can point thee would be appreciated .. thanks
Hi guys i dont know if someone has already posted this application with a nice UI. it uses internet thats the problem. I was wanting to know if there was a developer who could have a look at it and tell me if we could try to make it work without the internet connection so it would be a standalone application. It has much potential as it is so much different UI that i have been using and maybe we could use it as a default lauching application for today sceen. As i use a tytn because i cant afford to buy a touch pro or another phone for the moment, its a shame that its always the same things that we are using. Cant use tf3d and manila 2d is quiet heavy. If anyone could try it and see what are the potentials i would be very grateful. The application works through internet connction via activsync, wifi, gprs, 3g and edge. Thank you for any reply
these pictures are too small!
here new bigger images
wow this are big pictures , i google for myself
thanks.try it
I tried it, wasn't very great in my opinion. It was too slow, and not very organized.
not that great of a program, its slow and its a RAM sucker

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not to mention it's a major resource hog. Not good at all in my opinion.
this is more a newsreader thank a GUI and to make this a offline application sounds sensless.
thank you guys for your replys. the application uses xml thats why i was looking forwards for someone to try to get into it. i know that it would have been hard to rewrite the xml settings for each tile but never mind. one of the developers is on a quest to try to write a replacement to touchflo in the near future, hopefuly it might work on my divice. thanks again for everyone who took their time to have a look at it and their honest opinion.
Hey there
I tried to google but didn't find anything interesting.
Is'nt there any today screen that looks like a normal desktop?
The one where you would icons and some widgets like drag&drop clock, weather and stuff?
Is there something like this? If not why?
Is it even possible to something like this to exist?
Would like a today screen like this?
Thanks guys.
As far as I know, Wisbar Advance Desktop pretty much is what you're looking for: http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
It can be customized in many different ways... Here's an example of a heavy modified today screen: http://tk109.matrix.jp/blog/archives/images/WISBarDesktop.gif
[delete post] - how do that? - read below
thank you for your advice.
I tried this app but couldn get enough out of it - although app itself is brilliant...I searched a lot for themes...but couldn't find good ones.
I tried some but they were very function limited and I guess mostly suitable for the creator's needs only...
I did some further research and found stuff like SimpleOS etc..but doesn't work
you can see for yourself: http://simple-os.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
altough it is not comaptible with WM higher than 5. (as you can read from the webpage)
So if anybody finds today screen like I am searching for or skin or solution for this please let know
Thanks.
Hi everybody,
I recently completed an extensive guide to the Xperia and Windows Mobile in general. Most of the info might be old news if you're an experienced user, but hopefully there's something in there for everyone. If nothing else, it may be convenient to have all the elemental stuff gathered in one place.
I have tried to compile the best and most common tweaks and customizations, essential software in seven different categories, the many user-interfaces and how to get them, various modifications and some of the highlights from here (XDA Classics), et cetera. I did my best to include as much as possible, and the guide will continue to grow.
Here it is if you want to have a look:
A Guide to Windows Mobile
I put a lot of effort into this and I would really appreciate some feedback, what do you think of it?
I hope you'll find the guide useful.
Thanks --Lars
I am reading it now. You have done an excellent job mate.
This could be the perfect way to beginners to tweak their X1 without doing all the testings we did, with all the hard resets and restore of our backups we did to get all this... If you keep it up to date with all the new software, this could be the ultimate guide to the X1
Great Work!!!
Kudos! Check it out: http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2009/04/he-made-guide-for-xperiawinmo.html
WoW!
This is a great guide
Keep up the good work
Excellent job - clear and comprehensive.
Comforting to note that I have already come across many of the tips and tweaks, but there are still a few new ones, for which I'm grateful to you.
On the profiles issue, my recommendation would be Phone Weaver - it costs a bit of money, but that is money well spent if you ask me. Highly configurable, very stable, and does the job very nicely thank you very much.
I'm going to have to investigate the JBed font size tweak though - I don't have a "Device Info" folder in the registry so there is no Java Font setting to change.
Thanks great job It will be great to create a wiki ! ;D
I would like to second the well done comments posted here and I have some suggestions. The trend in WM is for big one size fits all interfaces like TF3D and Point UI etc. While such interfaces are nice to look at they dont offer much opporutunity for user customisation, you can change a background and thats bout it.
I am a fan of the Previous system used on the today screen where users select plug-ins and configure them to there own tastes. The two I use most are HomeScreen ++ Floyd theme and TodayGif, all of which had there roots on this site.
How about a list of open source freeware Today Screen Plug-ins that users can customise and change, for users like myself who resent being put in a software straight jacket like TF3D. Other manufacturers like Samsung and Nokia and iphone, are going down the plug-in or widget route, increasing user customisation, while WM seems to be moving in the opposite direction, away from the more flexible, more customisable previous plug-in system.
Thats my 2P, once again good job.
i like the site, very useful!
A big THANK YOU for your work!
I just hoped to find such a great summary of profound knowledge here in the Wiki for the X1.
Once more: Great work! Keep it up!
I’m very glad for all the positive feedback, thank you!
I will make a news box at the top of the page with recent updates and additions, since my ambition is to add all things of interest that I come across to the guide.
msalmank: I appreciate the blog post, cheers
Mr Anderson: I installed the trial version of Phone Weaver, seems like a really good utility for profiles (if not the best of the bunch) - I’ll add it to the guide.
Mark A Cilenti: I intentionally left out the minor Today Plug-ins because I thought they would be of less interest, but I agree: there should be such a section as well.
remixtech: Even though you had a little wink smiley after your wiki suggestion, I took it as a dare and I will make a wiki version of the guide as well that anyone can contribute to (even though chance is no one will write in it)
Thanks again, folks. I'm off to bed
wow this is awesome!
Brilliant! Thank you for your hard work, i've found it very useful.
Altough I am already aware of most of the tips and tweaks listed on your guide I must tell you that it is definitely the best compendium on the X1.
Hats off to you!
Thank you very much for all your hard work.
excellent site.. great work..
I thank deeply from my side.
Definitely comprehensive and sufficient source of almost all needed WM/X1 info!
Any example on your WinMo Xperia Guide about Bottom menu of HelloWorldPanel example
Hi
I tried modifying the HelloWorldPanel example that comes with the SDK.
I still have trouble trying to show the custom bottom menus of the Xperia screen.
Could someone share the code snippets on how to get this to work ?
I like to have 2 menu on the left and on the right, and one menu has items to pick from the list when clicked.
Many thanks!n
Thx.. a very nice site with nice info ^.^
Thanks for all the responses! Great feedback.
