OK, I've put the theme back here, despite the second post as others were posting it here anyway.
I've used %radiophone as the second line in anattempt to get rid of the number all together. I prefer to keep the first screen simple because I always tend to press a contact, then select a number to call afterwards.
If you need to edit that field, follow the instructions on the PocketCM forum.
There is a thread dedicated to PocketCM - why not post there? Is it a new application developing or is it a hack?
Love to see what this theme looks like on my device, but having problems downloading the bliss theme from the site you mentioned. Do I have to be a member or sign in? Can you upload it here? Thanks in advance.
Didn't see a dedicated thread here for themes.
There are a couple of separate threads though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334837
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329917
so I started another one.
My mistake.
[edit] as others have now posted the theme here, I'm using the first post for the current version

Still having problems downloading it. I'll try again later.
I tried again, (opera browser), and it's not downloading the zip file. I'm pretty familiar with downloading/installing pocketcm themes and never encountered a problem such as this.
NICE!
Nice theme thanks downloaded and using now - been browsing that forum for a while and havent found anything - do you have any more?

Here you go.
A funny thing though, the only contact phone numbers posted beneath the contact's name when viewing the list of contacts are pager numbers, lol. I was tripping when I saw, out of 73 contacts, only 5 numbers were listed, lol. It seemed odd. Hopefully that'll be fixed soon. I'd prefer to see home, business, or mobile numbers. Just a thought.
thanks robo, the buttons are similar to my new icons i just made for the iphone theme, I like to stay away from color so that they are interchangeable between different backgrounds. this one looks good though, props

Waiting for yours, as I agree with you. It looks very clean for I prefer simple colors, or rather limited. The icons are the ****, lol (**** meaning really really good).
This is the best colored theme,good job. i was wondering if the side where the letters come down in alphabetical order could be black with the letters coming down in white to match the colored pattern going across. also was wondering if the alignment in the "contacts" view could be evenly arranged so that the tops of the contact name does not show after the last contact being viewed(like if you are looking at the contacts in "c" the very last contact name in "c" shows just the top letters) and when you select a contact and they have multiple options(sms,home#,work#) the tops of the last option is also slightly exposed atlest on my 700wx,but overall this is the best visual one i have seen.
Thanks all for your comments
robosiris With regard to the numbers being pager numbers, I actually wanted to have NO numbers at all. I explained in the pocketCM forum that I did this to simplfy the screen contents as I usually select a contact THEN choose a number to dial.
In the UK (certainly amongst my friends, we don't use pagers any more so I picked this field)
I've now changed it to %radiophone to show even FEWER numbers ;-).
However, if you want it to show a particular field, feel free to change the settings.ini file, as per the instructions on the PocketCM site.
mankoorb I understand about the top part of the characters showing, but as the app is totally "analogue" in terms of where the scroll stops, this will only happen if you use the index to select a new section. The next time you scroll with your fingers, it may misalign again. Also depends on whether you've got fullscreen mode on or off.
I don't think the index can have a background colour (might be wrong) so for now, that will stay as is (grey text, now very slightly darker than before).
Button height I've now changed, so only four complete buttons show when it's in full-screen mode.
Dave Hutch
ok dave understood. if the vertical index's color can not be altered, then maybe the horizontal index(once you have selected a look up letter) can be stretched all the way across the screen so it does not look cut off, and maybe the index letters can be tried in white to add to the brightness of the theme. with most themes being dark and using only 2 colors i enjoy this theme for its color and animated feel. good job!
The letter index (white on black)
cannot be stretched across the screen as it would overlap the #A at the top of the index (if I understand you correctly).
There are obviously restrictions to the app. layout as well as a vast amount of customization opportunities.
For other adjustments,you can easily do these to suit youor own taste by changing values in the settings.ini file that is contained in the bliss.cmt file.
It's basically a zip file renamed to .cmt.
Open it with Winzip and change the line that reads index_font_color=40,40,40
to index_font_color=255,255,255 to get white
For other custom changes, see the PocketCM site for instructions.
Also be sure to read up on the PocketCM thread here:

NICE APP
Grumps,
VERY NICE APP. I am using it and it is great. Works well with S2U2 version too. My input for cometics only:
a. Can we put the operator name closer to the signal bar? This will allow room for other indicators such as Wifi and BT.
b. Can we have BT and Wifi indicator on the top bar? These two will make the SW going from COOL to WHOA!!!!!
Thanks and cant wait for your next release.

If i make it smaller it might say HSDPA Vodaco or something and ill hear more people crying? Any suggestions
And yes only QVGA, I dont have a VGA device to develop with sorry
This is a great app except...
There's no animation when you launch something. Or highlight. So sometimes you press again while waiting for something to start up.
Can we please get some sort of feedback when it's accepted the fact you pressed a button? Not sure how this works on the fruit based phone but I'm sure there should be some feedback.
Thanks.
ok just want to say great app.
here are some suggestion for you on the next version.
add scrolling to the app so if you want to add more icons on one page you can.
let it pick up default icons from the programs so you don't have to waste anytime on picking an icon for it. (but you can if you want too.)
scroll with finger to go right or left to go to the next page.
i have some other ideas and i would like to share it with you. if you are interested please P.m.
thanks,
the changelog says it has animations now. I just can't see any. What is meant by "animation added"?
Great work anyways.
BTW: Being able to scroll only one of the horizontal lines from left to right would be great, for, let's say, less important apps. So you have 3 rows of static buttons and just one row that can be scrolled by finger gestures... Saw that on iPhone, looked amazing...
I Concur
IMO, it would be great to have a scrolling launch page. Either horizontal or vertical. Also, annimation and vibrate with icon color change to reflect program choice.
Does the calendar icon keep up with the actual date??
Thanks,
CG
Thanks for such a GREAT app - assigned a button to it and it works like a charm. I do have one question \ request: is it possible to move the title bar elements up a bit? I use an app to hide the Windows Start bar and the softkeys (it is one of Vijay's tools) and your app then acts as my home page for most running applications (there are a few exceptions but overall it works great). The only issue is that the elements on your app (clock, battery, signal indicator, etc.) are a little low (2 pixels or so) so things look a little "off". I was hoping it was or could be a user changable setting.
Please don't take this as a complaint! Your app, combined with S2U2 provide an excellent UI experience. Thanks again for such excellent work.

Good idea to assign it to a button, I was trying to figure out how to integrate it better as a complete solution. Only problem is that on the Touch there is only really one button I can use and I was using it for the Full Screen Keyboard and to hold it down to get voice dial. I'm sure I'll work something out though.
I saw the link in the first post talking about how to get the .lnk files right and I assume that means for the Phone/Calc/etc which do not have .exes that I can easily find. I'll do some research to get that working.
Thanks for a great app!
Thanks for the info

Grumps,
Thanks for the info. I can see the name is an issue. If it is moved left align one space right after the signal strength then it will be good even with the longer operator name. If it is done that way, then if the BT and WiFi indicators are needed, that is when they are turned on, then they can be arranged to the left of the clock. These will cover the last portion of the long operator name but I think it will be acceptable because many things operate in the same manner due to the fact that there is not enough space for everything.
Thanks again for this VERY NICE APP. IT ROCKS!
Here is a simple theme for PocketCM to match the graphics of the HTC Touch
Attached is my skin for the keyboard (post #2) and my theme for the contact app (end of this post)
Go HERE if you want to see the screenshot in your browser instead of in a .zip (it is too large to upload here as an image)
Bubble update:
............Post #9 Gradient with arrows (GA)
............Post #10 No Gradient with arrows (NGA)
............Post #11 No Gradient No Arrows (NGNA)
Slight update:
.............fixed battery icon when depleted
.............fixed unreadsms icon
.............changed cell signal graphic
Hints about this Contact theme:
............ to go back a page, hold the upper right hand corner (where the OK icon is)
............ to exit when the OK icon is visible in the upper right hand corner, tap (do not hold) that same corner
There are three versions - the only difference is the sms panel view:
............ htctoucher Touch.zip (in the preview this is the screenshot with nothing written in the smsbox)
............ htctoucher Touch sms box.zip (in the preview this is the screenshot with "Old SMS Box" written in the sms box)
............ htctoucher Touch smspanel.zip (in the preview this is the screenshot with "Old SMS Panel" written in the sms box)
If you want this with an index on the right like the HTC Touch default contacts has, check out post #6
And there you have it!
Enjoy!
htctoucher
I may be updating the SMS Panel version to have my usual bubbles from my 16 variant theme (not sure yet)
I am not sure what the cell signal icon looks like.. as I havent tested that yet (it is small so that the titles of the pages can fit within the given space)
htc touch keyboard skin
And here is my keyboard skin
There are two versions
1. with (first screenshot) - you can see that next to the letter "a" and "l" there are faux letter buttons (they do not do anything when pressed, but give the keyboard more of a complete feel)
2. without (third screenshot) - this does not have the faux letter buttons, as you will see when comparing the two screenshots
to get your keyboard to have the same layout and look exactly the same, drag both files in whichever .zip you choose to use into your PCMKeyboard folder on your device, and then choose those files in the keyboard's options menu
enjoy!
htctoucher
wow very cute.. lol thank you very much
Cool, thanks. I am going to try it out as I am always in search of the 'prefect' virtual keyboard.
I am like Indiana Jones....and the valley of the QWERTY typos.
man i love this keyboard. u make the most pimped keyboards and pocketcm themes bro.
Index
Here it is with an index:
Why is it that when the letter confirmation image ("feedback") comes up, the letter is half cut off? For example when i press r, the little "r" image comes up above the letter to let me know that i am pressing "r", however that image is half cut off, so that i only see half an r. Is this normal? This didnt happen with the skin i was previously using. I am using the .skin and .layout file.

Have you tried reloading the keyboard after selecting both the layout and the skin? That happened to me too after switching from one of my other skins, but I just reloaded the keyboard and that fixed it

Number of characters in SMS and first line of notes and OK-Button
Hello htctoucher,
i really like your theme!
But there are some little bugs i've noticed:
1: The "characters left" (160/160) in the SMS Chat doesn't seem to change while typing. Only after a "pop-up" of the PocketCM-Keyboard apears over it, the display at this place is changed. Maybe its a bug of PocketCM.
2.: The first line of the contact-notes seems to be covered by the infobar.
3.: The OK-button in the contact-notes doesn't work. To get back to the contact details screen, I've to wipe over the screen.
I'm using PocketCM V0.21
and PocketCM Keyboard V0.14
Thanks for your reply!
Where do i extract this theme?
Just wanna add that I think your themes are awesome. Been using them for 5 mins and love the look and layout.

This is known bug, but easy to work around. The character counter is accurate for about the first 50 or so characters, after that you may notice it stops counting. If this occurs, just click on the sms bubbles to hide the keyboard. The counter will update. Then you can click back into the SMS Box to start typing again. It doesnt bother me that much and i like that it is above the box where you type, but havent found a fix.
2.: The first line of the contact-notes seems to be covered by the infobar.

I was not aware of that, if I get time I will update this theme to fix that. In the mean time if I interpret what you are saying correctly, I am sure you can just hit the enter key on the keyboard a few times until you can see what you are typing!
3.: The OK-button in the contact-notes doesn't work. To get back to the contact details screen, I've to wipe over the screen.

For some reason this is like that on all the themes, I suspect it is a bug with the application. Pressing "OK" saves the notes, but does not exit them. If you want to save what you have written, press OK, then Cancel. If you want to discard your changes only press Cancel.
hope that helps!

Wonderful job, but don't work with my HTC Diamond and his VGA screen... (((
im havin trouble installing the skins and themes...can u help me out???
Hello guys!
I think many of us came to the thinking that, though TouchFLO 3D is great UI, we should make something alternate, something that better fits our needs. And now, i think i'm ready to create one, but first we should decide how should it look like and how should it operate.
So, i propose a kind of "brainstorming contest" where you decide about the look of a new UI. But to avoid this turning into an annoying feature request list ("more tasks on today! please! please! please!" ), here are the rules:
- NO text-only suggestions - every post s/b illustrated with pen-and-paper drawing
- NO screenshots or photoshop cooks - only hand-drawings or something that look like em (yes, you can use digitizer tablet )
- drawings are NOT required to be professional - just something to illustrate you thoughts
- you are NOT required to develop the complete UI - you may just post suggestions about UI parts, but preferred things are unique navigation idea (try to forget about tabs), apps\tabs convergence, brand new useful apps/tabs
- best contributors ideas (possible with Manila API) will be implemented and their names will be listed in "About..." screen
Posts that violate rules (even best of them), will be ignored.
That's it.
maybe this is too open ended.. do you haev some ideas of your own that you might want to put forward?

I'm already implementing ideas of my own
I just wanted to know what do folks think/dream about
show us whatcha go then!
I think D-MAN666 doesn't want to influence people, this is a brainstorming If he starts with his idea, it is probable that nobody will post a completely different concept...
This might be a useful start for interface design:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397220
One thing I would love to see is a radial menu:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_menu
Similar to tap-and-hold for a context menu, but instead of a list popping up, a radial menu appears. You could fit 8-12 options around the circle, which would cover TF3d's pages.
So in usage, tap for the popup radial menu, then:
- swipe up for Contacts
- swipe right for Music
- swipe down for Home
- etc
IMO, it's much easier to be accurate in swiping at different angles/directions than it is to be precise with the default TF3d slider tabs, so you could really speed your way through the interface. The same could apply elsewhere: tap and hold a contact, then swipe up to call, left to SMS, right to email, etc.
For other thoughts, here's a read on interface optimization (for the technically inclined):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts's_law
And maybe later if I'm bored I'll draw some mockups
http://microsoft.blognewschannel.co...bile-7-to-focus-on-touch-and-motion-gestures/
sorry for breaking the rules, but everyone else is lol...thats a link to the WM7 concept design...along with theoretical gestures...i really digg the battery bar on the bottom and the reception bar...
Ill be the first then...
A quick drawing i knocked up... manila stays very much the same but basicaly show page navigation on the manila both horizontal and vertical..
I hope its clear enough
2 ideas here
I am going to break the rules since I'ma t work and can't really be seen drawing lol.
Here they are:
- Make use of the touch capacitative ability of the the buttons panel. It's made up of three touch panels. Maybe a swipe from left to right to unlock and right to left to lock.
- Display applications within tabs. Ex: Being able to display Icontact when sliding to the contact tab.
And for UI inspiration, I would look here:
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/setupsaskins/45-091setups/69-new-minimal-flow-theme
Ok, here's my concept
The general idea is to keep most of manilla look'n feel, just remove useless animations/transitions, and change the home screen.
Changes : on the right side of the screen, a scrollbar similar to the "contacts" one appears. It controls the content of the box under the clock.
On the left, a button to maximize (take the place of the clock) the box, and a fast vibrator/ring permutation button.
So, by scrolling the bar, the content of the box changes, could be call log, contacts, fast program launcher, music player, and so on.
The idea is to keep complex functionalities (camera, tv, etc) needing full screen accessible by the manilla bar, and quick&fast features such as logs, sms, player accessible on the main screen.
Nice idea, man
Hi there,
just a thought on a possible gui for the UI, instead of tabs, layers (don't know if that's possible, but it would be very cool imho)
you could have multiple layers, and have the layers in the backgound fade out and become smaller (perspective) and use a swipe up or down to navigate
Anything happening on here?
Just wondering

like the game u can get on Playstation 3... where u 'swim' around collecting stuff and going thru lvls....
I'm thinking that the Ximoon idea is quite good but one thing that should be included is landscape option and I'm not talking about TP version but one with the same functions like the portrait one
I like the idea of the circular menus...
well first of all thanks to you guys you are doing awsome work and its always funn spendin my free time in your forums
now to my idea
does anybody know the film : the lawnmower man? theres one scene almost at the end of the film where he tries to escape to the internet i think the idea is quite amazing movn in a bowl and havin litle windows to select.
what do ya think
this is the link to the movie scene just skip it forward to about 5 minutes
Edit: sry forgot the link :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doAnB5_eDnw&feature=related
just follow the link

the best dialer out there only released yesterday and its free for now !!
Any screens, as none on site either?!?!?
there is a pdf file under manuals that will show images and how to use it.
Cheers for that, don't really like the look of it.
I'm not seeing the advantage...using the stock dialer does both the number and the name search at the same time. Keyboard looks too complex, taking the alpha/numeric stock dialer, and splitting it into seperate screens.
To each their own.
i think it is f...g amazing also! going to give it a try. it happened to me that instead of dialing the contact i dialed the 3-4 numbers corresponding to the letters. i almost never type a number so why keep them?
this app can do everything except a good cup of coffee even taking you straight to settings or programs. if you'll download and read the pdf manual you'll also be at least intrigued. it is an app you can turn it on (loading it ) or off, this is not a skin. it is a completely new concept. the graphics (has one skin for night and one for the day) are not bad also....
i installed it and going to settings i discovered that you can add a second language by yr choice by typing the letters of yr language in the dialer (you can build the dialer).
the program is small and occupies only a little over 400 K.
look at the second pic, i started changing the keyboard (first two buttons).
It's good that it's free. But it's not the type of dialer I am looking for/forward to. I really want a vga dialer which has big keys (not just like 3/5 of the screen space). Something similar to the minimal dialer here. But that one is for qvga screen. I am hoping if someone could port this to vga screen or I'll have to do it myself.... and I am not a pro. It would take a little less time than forever .
amazing is something else
just like u said....
to each their own.....
i find it making sms email and dialing with above 200 contacts very easy.
the diamonds system is more difficult.
read the manual u can change almost anything u like in the settings
and when u get use to the touch system...i just cant work with out it......

It's ugly as hell! Not for me.

i bet we'll see lots of skins in the nearest future. you might think it is ugly but give it a try....sending sms without switching programs and easy typing from yr dial pad are only two of the things that make it superior to the diamond's system not to mention the fact that you can build yourself (in settings) the keyboard with yr kind of fonts and keys arrangement. beautiful things are not always also very practical
i confirm that it is ugly and it looks like an exploded bag full of letters.

Me the Ugly full of letters programer.
It is not about been beauty, it is about doing the job. Some users with 1500 contacts and up actually did try it. They never stop using it.

It's funny that you compare this dialer with the o3touch.
Without the O3 can you do Email, SMS, and dialing in the same application?
Can you get Clear Big letters fonts on incomming SMS or incomming call?
While these programs are shiny and sparkeling , they havy and most of the time have troubles with doing the things they supposed to do.
This program is light (less then 300K) , stable, compatible with VGA screens, and short the numbers of operation moves from the user (smart user or not).
So if the program is look sparkly or not is not the issue, but I think the dark skin looks great on the diamond or the Touch pro.
...and what makes it so special for us less-smart people?
Hi, just beggining to code for the Xperia.
This is just the beggining for a fast alternative for the other panels.
128x128 icons with vibrate touch response.
Not added like a panel and for the moment only works in portrait mode.
Be easy on me, just begun for 1 week ago programming.
Give me som suggestions for more icons (shortcuts)
Best regards
A.M
UPDATED 090115
V 0.1
* Optimized code
* Removed minor bugs
* Added more icons
Could you post some screenshots? More people would try it out if they could see it - get a better picture of what's it about.

For now there isn't much more than a clock and 2 rows of icons but i will post screenshot..
Simple... and kinda elegant. I like where this is headed. Hope to see the full version soon.
BTW - just a thought, but an elegant/classical looking (not too fancy or colored) analog clock at the top would go better than the digital one.
Screenshot attached for all.
I believe, from feedback i have read across the interweb, that if you could set this up, to emulate the SE feature phone interface, there would be quite a lot of interest.
Better still if you could make SMS work as easily as the feature phones, but that is asking too much of you.
Best of luck with this. I will follow it with some interest.
John
Hmm, im not sure of what u mean here, plz explain to me.
Do u mean ordinary Se phones ??
Thanx for interest.
And thanx to Msalmank for the screenshot and ur positiv feedback.
I will try to make a analog clock or maybee a possibility to change between the twos.

Nice work.
Looks nice (but a little empty)
Do you think you can add an "options page" accessed through left or right softbutton just as in the SE panels?
In this options page we could 15 empty spaces and we can choose to add an application directly or add a new page to an empty space with an additional 15 empty spaces.
This way we can add more applications/pages or contacts ourselves. We would also need a "back button" so we can go back to the previous page.
Good luck with it, looking forward to a final version.

first of all: nice work.
i would be happy to help you in all forms of design (i.e. backgrounds, buttons and so on ...).
from my point of view (designer) it would be nice if the panel could be configured via an external xml file to place the bitmaps (with coordinates) and to configure the button-links to the applications.

Tanks for your comment and i will gladly accept all the help i can get concerning the design. I will get back to you soon.
Now it's 3 days of "ordinary" work waiting.
