Stretch pictures with Touch rom?

Ok, if I were to try and duplicate/develope the iPhone's (sorry I hate saying that) web browsing/picture zoom feature and add that to a cooked rom for my Wing, where would I start? Or is there one already out and I missed it? I would want to run it on a Touch rom if that helps at all.
As far as I know, that's not available yet...
but check out the new TouchFlo that's coming out

Whens this coming out?!? looks like exactly what i want!
No idea. Hopefully soon... so then someone here has to buy the phone, then extract the files ... so someone can put it into the roms... so I would say, it may be a while.
you know that in the pictureviewer, there is an option to zoom/crop and whatever? It may not be shiny, but it works.

Ya, I already knew that. I just want to be able to touch pictures and zoom/scroll through them, and not have to go to a menu to do it...
when the app is out, ill include in my roms
I've never used pocketCM's ImageViewer so I don't know if it's what you're looking for or even how well it works, but... http://pocketcm.com/imageviewer.php

Thank You!!! Thats very close to what I'm looking for, but is there a way to set this as my default picture viewer? And is there a way to rotate it manually?

Cool Home screens other than HTC Today screen

I'm looking to mix it up a bit with my home screen. I have ttran's open touch 4.0 (vista biggy) and love it, but I have had basically the same today screen since I've had the phone and am looking to mix it up. I know there are lots of things out there, but I don't know where to start. In fact the thing ttran has set as his avatar really intrigues me, but I don't know where to find it. Can anyone point out some cool home screens that I could use, preferably ones that have some kind of screenshot so I can see what I'm getting into?
Thanks guys.
Today Shells
These aren't plugins, they're actual UI shells. SPB Mobile Shell comes uith a small today plugin, but you have to pay. (or get a code generator PointUI and Gsmart are still in beta , although PointUI is much further along and less buggy. I use SPB for one hand access while I'm driving, then I switch back to HTC home. It's just assigned to a hard key.

Yep, I looked through that. Still nothing interests me as much as the today screen TTran has set as his avatar. Some decent ones but nothing that caught my eye.
To audio, thanks for the info. I'm not interested in paying for something, and don't know what a code generator is.
Gsmart looks really cool but if it's buggy it probably isn't worth it. PointUI I don't like, at least from the screenshot in the link you provided.

Give this a try, I just ditched HTC Home for it.

New Panel: Facebook

Theres a New facebook panel available; from what i have seen, its only on the US SE site at the moment, but im sure it will be in the uk one soon - for now - have a link:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/download...okPanel_X1.cab
Also changed the language site, I can't download.
Can you post the cab please?
Thanx!
http://www.sonyericsson.com/downloads/fd/36/FacebookPanel_X1.cab
wow, that panel is simply awesome! so nicely designed! this must be ported to other WVGA devices!
can we get some screen shots and a quick review - i dont have my X1 with me right now so i would like to know what to expect?

Some screens
It's AWESOMEEEEEE!!!!!
it's really good (although a bit slow at the start, but then I do have nearly 500 friends).
allows you to upload photos and call contacts.
very nice looking panel, works great, now u can upload photos as well...
Just installed this as well and I love it. I have tested it on my WiFi connection, and it _could_ be a little faster for pulling the data down, but still, it's nice to finally see some new panels for the X1. I really like the photo upload feature too, super simple.
On a side note, I am running Wisbar Advance 3 + WAD 2 on my X1, and I find that after the device has been on for a while (without soft-resetting), my Panel key will not launch the panelmanager. It seems to do something, but then quits back to the Today screen. I then checked in the System Processes and found that it was using 21mb of RAM! Even after terminating that process and restarting 'panelmanager.exe', it will not come back. A soft-reset is needed to fix it.
I don't believe this is a WA+WAD issue, because I've tested by terminating both of those apps, but panelmanager still refuses to launch via the X-Panel key sometimes...anyone else experience this sort of thing with their panels?
Otherwise, I'm sooo happy with this device, and I show it by giving my love back to the phone via the 3.5" port ooooo weee!
it's cool in some ways almost as cool as iphone/ipod touch version
and in some ways much cooler
very pro work with the gui
like it a lot. Big thanks to whoever made it. More panels now!
Best looking panel around. Great work!

Yea it's definitely a great looking panel, works very well also, liking the many features of it, although i got a windows error once, but i am liking it, hopefully more panels like this quality soon to come.
just installed it and so far it seems to look good haven't had time to play with it yet tho.
Waiting for Orkut panel aswell !
Awesome, looks good....
yea it does look pretty nice i thought i was doing something special with skybook i guess not

This renewed my faith in the X1.. I wish they included the Facebook chat like iPhone/iPod does though

Music Recognition Software Midomi on TP2

Very cool
http://htctouchpro2.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/midomi-for-windows-mobil/
Shame about not running on 3G and also dont hit the Menu button (you dont need to but if you do it locks up)
it works over 3G- here's the fix: http://www.fuzemobility.com/midomi-music-recognition-in-the-wild/
And you say it's better than Music ID?
Then it deserves a test
all the best
Absolutely brilliant, works great, only problem being the menu button, which is currently a "kill" button! anyone got a fix for this? or even disable to prevent pressing by mistake.
Holy Balls! It's awesome! Good find!
Brilliant app, and finding the network fix was awsome!
When I try to use this software it says Network connection failed. Does anyone know how to fix this error?
nice one, ta.
Hej guys..

yeah like i said... if i put the files on my phone i cannot execute a file..
it keeps tellin me it needs a program to start..
You obviously got the program installed and running since you know that it's only working with wifi ...
To make it work with 3G do as told in the article - change the entry in the registration database and 3G will be working (after soft reset)

Whats the problem?
If you don't like it, don't install it. I didn't buy the TP2 because I solely want to use it to write emails/spreadsheets.
I bought it because it is a kickass device with lots of power and features and a lot of "wow" factor.
If anything this is a bonus to the TP2 as it means it's a business phone WITH cool stuff too.
new to editing registries, but I can't find the HKCU folder anywhere... Where is it? This is an AWESOME program, but I wanna use it outside the house

Almost sold my HTC Touch Pro 2 but ...

Almost sold my HTC TP2 but SOMETHING told me to wait .. Problem was I was not happy with anything about it except the quality and feel ... I have been using the iphone for over a year now. got so used to that who interface. Someone said try the SPB Mobile shell .. I did .. had an old version from I don't know how many years ago .. Didn't do it for me ... then I went to see what the latest looked like .. WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT .. After than I installed the idial pad and the icontacts freeware and my phone I believe is going to pass up my iphone. I will be passing that to my son. There are a few apps that I will miss but I might find a replacement if I keep looking .. The most missed will be the program for looking at my eBay auctions and second is something called Glucose Buddy .. iphone just makes things so simple ..
gladd that u searched and did some mods and u love your phone. cuz i do to.
Hmm... why did you get the tp2 if you had an iPhone?
DOUBLE POST .. hmmm .. how did I do that ?
I bought it because I like windows mobile .. I don't like paying to put music on my phone, I don't like paying for ringtones... on too many occasions I paid for something and it got lost ??? I don't know how, but whatever was just GONE and couldn't get it back... ON and ON ... I wish WinMo would react to touch a little better, more like the iphone, but it is close enough.
ALSO: I am a gadget-a-holic. I saw one that someone had and just had to have it ..

It makes the menu in file explorer all fit in one screen...stock and some roms make the menu finger friendly, where you have to scroll up and down to see the rest of the menu options.
At the risk of sounding like I should have my phone taken away from me and replaced with an old Nokia or Motorola .. Is there a ROM that would transform this phone into an iphone sort of ?? What I miss the most is that with the iphone there is no digging. There is an icon for settings and the rest of the icons are applications .. I like that because I feel lost every time I pick this phone up .. Yesterday I had to go somewhere and didn't want to have that, "how do I ??" look on my face so I put my sim in my iphone and left my HTC at home ..

Every Sense 2.5 rom offers you today screen with roll-up-applications-on-a-screen (specially Cookie`s amazing Home Tab + editor), plus every important notifiaction on a screen. If you don`t wanna change your rom, you can install Iphone today, it gives you exactly same screen interface like Iphoney - no digging, just taping and you getin` there. Check it out:forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508429.
Thanks for the iphone today skin info. I installed it and I am tweaking this and that .. I know windows mobile people hate hearing "I love my iphone." But I will say this .. I HATE THE FACT THAT I LOVE IT .. but I miss all the other bennys that come with owning something OTHER than the iphone .. I am now happy to have the best of both worlds.
Lately my eyes are getting older [ I AM NOT THOUGH ] and I have a hard time with windows mobile, especially making calls while driving. So don't get me wrong people .. I love Windows Mobile. I love HTC phones .. I hate Apple ANYTHING .. but I not only WANT but NEED the big icons etc that I have on my iphone .. I hope to be selling my iphone or giving it to my son if he still wants it, in the near future .. He is actually talking about getting the HTC HD2 I think ..
well i know that you can increase the text size but i myself never really did check to see if it did work since i can see but go under settings -> system -> screen. then go to the text size and adjust it from there. not sure if it would work or not but hope it does do the trick for ya
You can configure SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.3's home screen to be almost a dead ringer for iPhone. I understand the thing about picking up the phone and feeling lost, but only when I'm supremely inebriated, sleepy, or trippin' pretty hard. I got SPB set up with 3 pages of quicklinks for 95% of the things I do with my phone. I like to leave the stuff that can temporarily bork the phone in a place that has to be dug out to find...

There is also an exact shell replacement that mimics the upcoming WM7.
