That's WM6 running on there, with what looks like the HTC Cube. Check out the Wizard Mobile 6 forum for more info on running WM6 on yours.

Nope...
Hey Sam,
I just checked... This is not the cube. It's some other type of plugin and I just can't figure out which.
By the way, would you use this one or actually go with touchflo? I know it might be one big step up, but there's just something about too much "touching of the screen" that bothers me quite a bit...
Phil

Looks like the HTC Touchflo/cube, HTC home, HTC Audio Manager and some SPB thing (either mobile shell or pocketplus)?

tell me more...
Hey Draw,
I thought so too at first. But then I figured it's something else. So if it's not the cube or the touchflo, what can it be?
Damn, I'd really like to upgrade my 8125 to the best software. Aside from this one, which do you think is the best?
Phil

A lot, if not all, of what you see there can be mimicked with a combination of the following apps:
rlToday, see also their forums for many skin examples, and how to use this and the other two items i'll mention here...
mortscripts
sys2reg
While rlToday isn't being updated any more, the utilization of mortscripts led to the creation of sys2reg, which is essentially an entire library of mortscripts. Mortscripts can be called from within rlToday like any other program. Some people throw in Vijay555's tools as well... The mortscript library is capable of mimicking a lot of the dynamic information display seen in HTC's more interesting interfaces, as well as a lot of the stuff being done in the iPhone's home screen. Mimicking harder things like the animation associated with the touchflow cube is much harder, but I'm sure someone has made it work...

About touchflo...
Alright Myr,
This is where you might be able to help me out...
I decided to install touchflo on my wizard. I upgraded it and the rom to WM6 with IPL/SPL 2.26. I got the Touflo RUU G4 version and tried to install...
Unfortunately, it's giving me what I call the screen of death. That screen that has multicolored band and is a frozen image. I have to then pull the battery out and restart it. It then goes back to wm6.
I've erased all the extra programs on the phone, the htc home plugin, the 6 button plug-in and even the battery status plugin. Still a problem.
Now what do I do? By the way, I tried to install all the stuiff you mention in the last post, bu they sort of all failed... Now I'm focussing on Touchflo.

Sorry, Phil. That's where you lost me. I'm still running my stock WM5, and only recently bothered unlocking the SPL so I can upgrade if something really tickles my fancy. To be honest (and to be consistent in my comments) I probably won't update to WM6, but I wanted the option, just in case. In your case, that's the change I would suspect the most. Try going back to your stock OS.
I run HTC Home on my wm5, and only had to sacrifice the weather page (I use a much preferred Mortplayer for music, and so didn't even count turning off the audio manager tab as a loss). With a shortcut in the app launcher to weather watcher, I only added one tap to getting my weather report, so "who cares?"

Just to illustrate my point about not needing to upgrade...here's my screen, with the four tabs I left active...
(I goofed one of the tabs, the app launcher...will fix later, or not at all)

very cool!
Hey Myr,
How'd you do that??? By the way, being the persistent person I am; I finally got touchflo working on my wm6 phone. It's weird that it needed was to hold the USB button (left softkey) on the phone during the screen of death... And then it proceeds to activate the installation. Don't ask, I just lucked that one!
Anyways, is that screen touchflo? Or it that 6-button htc home plugin? I had to sacrifice my battery status plugin... It seems to give me problems everytime I installed it on touchflo; any idea why?

It's the HTC Home plugin, but I've modified it using the HTC Home Customizer from pocketemu.com to only have 4 buttons, and to change the appearance a bit.
Below that is rlToday, a programmable UI that's running some neat tricks. For example, I can tap the antenna and toggle wifi, and tap the BT symbol to toggle that. Below that is just the stock appointment plugin.
BTW, there are some that have modified rlToday to act and look like the HTC Home plugin. It's a bit slower than the actual one, because it's reloading the home screen, but it's effective in WM5. The actual Home plugin works much faster though.

Thanx for the info...
Hey Myr.
Thanks a lot for the info. But I'm not going to try to add anything to my phone as of yet. Not until I can solve the calnot.exe / clocknot.exe / reg??? problem.
Simple, it's driving me nuts! It actually invades my screen, sometimes freezes my phone... I've hard reset my phone twice, reinstalled the touchflo / cube software and ried several patches. No luck... Do you know what can be done to remedy this problem?
Phil

Nope, sorry. Try searching these forums, especially the WM6 forum for Wizard. If no love, post your error messages/symptoms there (this is a generic wizard forum, and you've loaded wm6, so you really need to ask people who've done what you've done).

Same here!!!! The clock shows 88:88 and everything else is gone. But it is nice and smooth though...good job music!!!!!!!

I was going for the Time machine effect, where it looks like you open your desktop and there is all this space back there. oh well. I guess it's not for everyone.
I'm working on a Supernova type of transition where a sudden burst of light comes out, then subsides to show the galaxy, then the Slabs come up.

hey man...lovely program... some constructive crit. though....i hope in the future you make an app to change up the programs and apps in the cube/flo....its slightly slow as compared to the original t.flo...and it would be nice if there was a changeable background... but honestly...amazing program...installes and uninstalls without any problems...launches and minimizes properly...except when its being launched it shows a background of a different touch screen, but thats just a cosmetic effect...ill giv more feedback if as i use it...hope it helps...thanks again for something great

He does it again!
MusicMan,
Nicely done!
Can you describe the easiest way to modify the shortcut locations/change the icons? Some of the shortcuts don't work, probably because I have installed programs on the storage card vs device proper.
Is there a way to set the default page? (so the phone shortcuts always pop up first?)
Thanks again!

Modding The Wing w/ Stock T-Mobile Rom.

Simple question here. I'm guessing i'm one of the very few people here (if not the only one) that hasn't done any hard-spl type modification to my Wing/Herald. So that means I am using the stock T-Mobile rom that came with the phone. My question is, what kind of useful (or just cool in general) .cab files work well with it?
So far I have the slide to unlock, pcshutXP, battery status, digital clock, keyboard skins, a custom black theme and more. I checked the thread with all the .cab files and found all those. Unfortunately, alot of them don't have descriptions so I didn't know what most of them did.
I'm not really looking for anything in particular except something cool that can give me the weather on my today screen and maybe a better alarm program.
Thanks in advance.

right now i have BatteryStatus with the clock extension, then under it HTC Home with weather, launcher, and profile options.
Black WM6.1 theme
Jivetalk - IM program, amazing
removed the tray launcher thing
i can't really think of anything else i've done, i spent forever trying to figure out batterystatus themes and how to get rid of the launch tray, so it seems like i spent a lot of time customizing, but i can't think of anything else.

If anything, I wanna get rid of the T-Zones in the launch tray. But I wanna keep the rest of the things down there. Any idea how? Also, can you give me the .cab file for the HTC Home with weather thing you use? What exactly is it, just weather that displays on your today page? Also, what's the Black WM6.1 theme look like? Any chance of a screen shot or something?
Thanks.

You can use any registry editor to do it. Just go to HKLM\Software\HTC\TrayApplet and delete both keys 4 and 5 there, then do soft-reset.

I definitely wouldn't mind having mine look a little similar to yours, lol. Do me a favor and pm me the black theme and htc home. Battery status I already have. Yours might be different though? This is something you did with the stock tmobile rom though, right?

yeah i'm on the stock ROM

Cool, I pm'd you back. I also like how it has "Messaging" on the left side and "Contacts" on the other. That's what I originally wanted to do. I don't need the Calander on there since it's already on my today. A few things though. I use battery status. I don't see it on yours. Am I overlooking it or is yours different? Also, i'd prefer to keep the tray I have on the bottom. That's how I open Palringo and lock/unlock my phone. Unless there's another way do to it on yours. Are you able to change the icons that display on the Today screen?
Also, I have palringo. So I don't need JiveTalk.
And technically, I wouldn't lose any of my data on my phone when I use this right? Cause it's not really updating or anything?

i want the stock
right now im on the touch it 4.1 and i want to go back to the stock rom. ive used the RUU but it just goes to 1% and then the phone restarts and then the process comes up as an error. can anyone help?

BTW wyldstallyns2589, I was able to change the weather to fahrenheit. I don't know how I overlooked it, but I found it! Hit the weather tab, then click on the city. Then, click your city in the list and hit menu on the bottom right. From there, you go to weather options. From there, you'll see where you're able to change it from one to the other.
You've been a big help. Thanks alot, I mean it. My phone looks alot better than it did. Any idea if I can get the clock a big smaller? I like it big, but it being THAT big.. it takes up alot of room, lol.

No problem. the clock will not go any smaller, that is why i have switched to batterystatus for my clock.
and i had palringo, but jivetalk is so much better, i suggest you at least try it out. the only thing it doesn't do better than palringo is when your phone is on vibrate it doesn't vibrate

[APP]Cloned TodayScreen - SecondToday - Alpha version

Since my next device will be an xda diamond (at least i hope ) where Today-Plugins can't be used together with TouchFlo 3D.. i've release a very early alpha version of SecondToday.
An application that behaves like the default-todayscreen. This way you can use e.g. TouchFlo 3D and all your today-plugins (wrapped by SecondToday).
Tap and Hold on a free window area will open the settings-dialog!!!

if it is a useful program, then i guess there will be feedback

Hey ikarus, i'll gave your SecondToday 0.25 a shot and I'm quite impressed. I use it with the Diamond on the Left-Softkey on Hometab.
The only todayplugin I use is TodayAgenda ... there are some redrawing glitches after changing its preferences: it shows only a quarter of the screen, maybe you didn't notice this with qvga, but if I restart SecondToday everything is OK
Very nice work so far
My only wish is that I can hide the SecondToday by pressing left softkey, this would be great because i could toggle the two today screens.

will try it right now...

When I start SecondToday I get the message
Failed to load System Today-Watermark!
what the hell is the reason?
I have Bepes 0,53 ROM

i run second today with bepe's 0.53GER - rom and it works. i only need battery status to run in background to keep track of my call times and data amount, so i only switch to second today once a day or so. most of the time i have to kill and restart it to get in on screen though...
but so far: thumbs up!another great piece of work!

Some screen shots would be Amazing please?
Thanks very much.

I would reaaaally appreciate some screenshots
Also, maybe a stupid question, but that's VGA-only, right?

hm.. good question..
at first it should behave like default-todayscreen
then some features for plugin-developers are already implemented and used by BatteryStatus.
e.g. Performance features for quicker response or faster drawing like TODAYM_REQUESTREFRESH (which isn't supported by old windows mobile builds) to immediately recalculating the height..
So.. the most important feature is stability and performance.
I have some ideas to integrate trayicons, but this would only work with BatteryStatus since i don't want to hook the system or something similar only for trayicons.
And of course if you have ideas for a "better TodayScreen" then let me know hehe

Wow, just tried it, and it's really cool!
Tested it on a Wizard though
Thanks a lot fot the prog!

great tool!
tried with spb diary and works well

I like it
Great idea. This is a must for those who use other plug-ins. I'll stick with you on this one. First I installed it, however the image I use for the today background (which with FLO 3D creates the background for the start menu) also creates the background for 2ndToday, can that be individualized in the config menu with a simple browse to file type function. Be cool to have a normal flo 3d background, and a naked chick in black heels on the secondtoday screen .
2. Is there a way for a checkbox option to bind the touchflo3d right softkey to activate the secondtoday screen. Right now I use WKTask which puts the minimized icon at the top to quickly switch over. Using it on one of the launcher buttons doesn't make for a super fast switch to hide the naked chick
3. Is there an option to make the naked chick dance
Keep up the good work. Just questions, not suggestions, just glad you did it. Can't wait to see the progress.

Hey i'm quite impressed how my thread-bump worked out so far and even more impressed how fast you reacted on my suggestion great piece of software even in this early stage.
Here is my setup so far:

Aedon's FULL Dusk Keyboard Skins

So youve tried looking for keyboard skins befor and were excited about the great new look it gave your phone right?
BUT
You were dissapointed to find that it only skinned the very basic onscreen qwerty right?
I know I was.
SO
I did something about it.
If your familiar with the Sharkie rom, you might have noticed that his 5.0 rom featured a full keyboard skin in wich every single keyboard in the phone had been skinned in Dinik's iconic anastasia theme.
That was my first keyboard skin.
But after the fact I had noticed a themeI liked better then the anastasia glass.
The DUSK!
So I colaborated a bit more with sharkie to make this new full keyborad skin.
We decided that a traditional black and white look would be best and I went to work on this Dusk keyboard.
Stock green is just that, a stock green version
Sharkie theme was made to match the sharki roms aqua blue them.
Crimson Red was basicly for my use but I'll share

White keyboard keys fix
Ok... if anyone else has an issue of having white text on your keyboards instead of black like its sapouse to, this is what you do.
Follow thees steps exactly.....
First, download the "Black ezinputs.zip" at the bottom of this post.
Extract the folder inside of it and place it somewhere on your storage card.
Using total commander, navagate to that folder and click it.
Now, 'right click' or hold down on the file inside of the folder. (the file name should be 'ezinput.dll') and hit 'Properties'
Uncheck all the boxes under attributes.
(just click on the check mark, and it you have to click it again if it goes gray rather then dissapearing)
Click ok at the botom of your screen.
Now go to your windows directory.
Find the ezinputs.dll in your windows directory and do the same thing.
After hitting ok, rename this file to 'ezinputs2.dll'
Go back to the file on your sdcard and right click it and select 'copy/move'
then on the next window you have 4 choices
copy
move
tree
cancel
Select 'tree', then click on 'windows' (it should be the last item on that list of folders)
After that, it will go back to the window with the 4 choices mensioned above.
Select 'copy'
It might take a min to do this, just wait.
Once its finished there, soft reset.
After its started up, your keys should be black again.
All thats left to do is go back into your windows directory and delete the 'ezinputs2.dll' file.
Reset again just to be safe.
That should take care of it.
This guide was written under the pretence that you have used some other keyboard skin or file that has changed your text to white.
(Otherwise Id say you dont even need to do this as your text should be black if nothing has been tampered with.....)

Probably not all unfortunatly.
I have a Sprint touch pro 2 running Stock Energy on a 29020 build.
The touch pro 2 is a WVGA screen and the energy build is using EZImputs 2.1
If you want, go ahead and try it out to see if it works, if not post some screen shots so I can look over the mistake

Sweet. Thanks for looking out.
And oh well, they were bound to start asking

Heres an idea I have.
I wont do it unless people ask for it, but it doesnt seem like too many people are really asking for much or even commenting.
But in any case, I changed the letter color to white.
I could make a dark themed dusk skin...
If anyone is interested

I need some feedback here, HD2 users, does this keyboard fit your phone?
what about other touch pro 2 users?
If you have any problems or missalighnments post a screen shot and let me know what phone your using and i'll see what I can do
Thanks

aedon,
What Android port are you running? Send me a link to it and I can rip it apart and send you the files to theme.

but he just realeased another one so im going to try that one soon

If you are running the android port on your phone, you should be able to install Root Explorer on your phone. Navigate to System/App/ and pull your keyboard and any other apk that you want to theme. I can help you with resigning the apk files and then you should be able to use root explorer again to push them back to their original location.
