shell for smartphone - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I copied this treat from ''upgrading/modifying and unlocking.
I think I put it first in the wrong directory.
Maybe I got more respons here.
-------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
For pocketPC users there is spb mobile shell.
Is there for smartphone users also any programm that change the shell for wm5/6? Or is there anyone who likes it to make such programm?
What I would like is a shell that gives tabs in the top of the screen:
1st tab is the homescreen.
2nd tab is the startmenu.
3rd tab could be contacts.
other tabs could be opened programms.
- Switching between the tabs could be done with the softkeys.
- In the top of every tab could be an X button (or tab close with 0 or something).
- Softkey functions of any programm could be done with select the menus or the * and # botton.
- a little settings app where the user can set the use of which buttons and the order of the tabs (may be more)
If someone is so friendly to make such programm he/she can also think about other functions to add.
I hope there is anyone who can and enjoy it to make this. Me and (I think) many other users will enjoy to use it.
greetings,
Niels

nobody?
does nobody understand my idea?

Iphone-like taskbar

Hi folks,
Is there a way to have exactly this bar permanently on today screen? The pic was taken from an Ifonz screenshot.
I have a Gsmart VGA WM6.0 pro.
I tried Wisbar and other stuff but no way..too heavy and not user friendly at all. The best would be a kinda tsk file or whatever... any help?
Thanx for the great forum..Bye.
The only way to have it permanently there is to use PointUI which has the top bar. Its not quite like the iphone bar, but it has what you need and acts as a task switcher as well as a way to get back to the pointui home screen.
I have asked the developer of the today life program (xml config tool with themes) he is making if he was planning on making a permanent top bar. But he didn't seem to care... such a shame too since it is useful.
Wisbar is the easiest way.
You won't get that without additional software.
Are you sure that PointUi is VGA compatible? I tried it before but it didn't work.
Which version? I believe the latest one is (it may be a seperate cab).

Well, they did a test version in the old 1.02 version. I don't think they ever did anything for their new 1.5 version in vga.
http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=862&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
There are some other vga programs listed in that thread that may interest you.
- problem is that this tasbar is much smaler than the original wm6-one.
- also the icons, text, everything is completly different. windows can´t handle this.
- so the only way to get exactly this taskbar is a net application that runnes over windows mobile.
- why should the programmer of todaylife make a new taskbar when he created a complete Gui thats above windows mobile ? funny !
- if you look at my thread (bluephone) you find a todaylife skin with a original iphone taskbar.
I will try PointUi 1.02 alpha and post feedback.
Thanx guys.

Why? He created a complete gui thats above WM, great! But it loses its functionality the moment you open a program and it goes back to the WM interface, top taskbar. I thought it was supposed to be "above" WM? How do you get back to the today life screen?
You even created a skin for today life and I tried it. Sadly, it doesn't feel like a gui replacement for WM when the taskbar changes to the ugly, non functional WM bar.
I don't know anything about programming. But there must be a way to keep that bar at the top. *sigh*
all apps are programmed for the big wm taskbar, even if someone could manage to let a new small iphone tasbar stay on top and hide the original bar, you would have a ugly free space between taskbar and any application. So you want nothing more than programm every available software for windows mobile new
so i can tell you just this two words: Not possible ! believe it or not.

Wisbar. It's pretty easy to make a skin like that, and it's not as heavy as you mention. Give it a second try!

PointUi alpha 1.02:
seems quite fine and fluid on my Gsmart WM6. I only hope it will be developped for VGA devices.
Wisbar:
I'm still not satisfied with Wisbar 3. It eats my ram and freezes the ppc. Not worth keeping it installed.
I'll keep the original WM interface as it is. Only some spb plugins will be kept in wait of some new advice or suggestion from the forum.
Thanx guys for all the enriching posts.
Ciao ciao.

It 'eats' about 300K on my device. I don't find that very much. Many plugins are more hungry.
as Syd159 said. It does not eat too much and I never had freez caused by Wisbar. It is normal app in combination with Ultimate launch (or SBP Pocket plus) you got total "new phone"

yes wisbar do consume lot of RAM and slow down my phone so I did't use it anymore
Imho I think that a today plugin like Gsmart glass can be worth trying. I like the gui and it belongs to Gigabyte (like my device ).
Have you guys tried it? If so is it that good?
can someone please help me! im trying to find a tiny today plugin that shows u ur GSM carrier name/logo ...mine is ROGERS ...just so i know that i have my GSM activated on my today screen!
builtin 'wireless' today item takes up too much space ,plus it displays wifi and bluetooth icons which i don't have a need for
cheers
for example in this pic, where it says Phone Off, i wud b nice if had a rogers logo or some type of Green icon so i know my gsm carrier is ONLINE

I'd suggest something like BatteryStatus (although it has a new name which I have forgotten!) with a skin with just GSM Status.
Also, whilst it's good not having another thread, you're more likely to get an answer in the Questions and Answers sticky.
any developement in this taskbar?

Show appointments on TouchFLO3D today screen

Hi,
I am still a bit confused about whether to get the Xperia X1 or the Touch HD. One concern is the possibility to show appointments on a today screen without getting rid of the user interface (i.e., I do not want to shut down or remove TouchFLO3D).
What I need is a possibility to show appointments not only for today, but for a user defined timeframe - like 1 week or a couple of days - in advance. In fact, right now I use a combination of the HTC homescreen with TodayAgenda 1.5 on my WM6 device. I like to switch on the device and see the actual time/date and all upcoming appointments without having to switch to a today screen, i.e. immediately. However, I am looking for a solution to integrate this into TouchFLO. I know that it is possible to have the "normal" today screen on HTC TouchFLO3D devices and use TodayAgenda.
Is this possible with TouchFLO3D on the Touch HD? (I expect that with such a screen size it should be possible to show many appointments without scrolling ...)
Eriol
Yeah man.. I would like to know if that is possible as wel.. on my diamond with SkippyCentraal ROM(NLD)
I did some tweaking with the software from here, but did not find a sollution yet on how to get more than 1 appointment showing on the today screen with Touchflow on..
Wow, thats sad ... if we cannot show appointments in TouchFlo3D
I just cannot believe this kind of limitation ...
I own Kaiser and I have never use TouchFlo ...
I also used TodayAgenda 1.5 and loved it on my previous phone. It was the bast app ever (for me) to be able to see all my appointments for next 30 days as soon as I switch the phone on. Shame we can't combine this on touchflo 3d as I dont want to disable it as it is what makes it different to other win mo devices.
Come on community. Let's crack it!
personally i dont like touch3d at all, it's slow, i prefer to use ultimate launch to have 2 or 3 today screen, and u can scroll each one using ur finger for example: i have 3 screens, one for today, with time and day, one for appointment(using agenda) , with any number of appointments u want to display in the screen!!!, one for applications icons( iphone style arrangement).
hope this may help!

If you tweak it (and maybe change to another ROM), it will work perfect for 95% (speed is good)
But the not showing of appointments (only 1) is sad... and there has to be some of u super tweaking guys who can fix this
X1 Panel allow u to customize the # of appointment showing on the panel
not sure if Touch 3D on HD is able to do so.
Well, maybe someone who has already got the HD can tell us ... this is really crucial to me. In the Raphael forum someone suggested to de-install TouchFlo3D ... that is exactly what I do NOT want to do, because I like TouchFlo3D otherwise.
In fact, HD screen should be big enough to show everything AND the upcoming appointments for the next 9 days or so ... Isn't there someone to figure out?
With Xperia X1 you can easily switch to a today screen that shows these appointments, you can even install TodayAgenda on the original today screen, without the need of removing the panel functionality.
There is an application called SecondToday that adds a 2nd today screen and is reported to work well with Touch Diamond. I wonder if this would be a suitable solution for Touch HD as well ...???
Eriol
I think this has been requested from the beginning of touchflo3d. I cant belive that HTC can fix this. I use the calendar every day and think its one of the major apps in WM. But HTC keep ignoring the calendar, there isnt even a tab for the calendar in touchflo3d.
If anyone know a nice integrated calendarsolution in tochflo3d I am very intrested.
Is this TouchFlo 3D cannot be disabled? Or replaced?
Hi folks
I think its about time for my first post in this forum.
Since HTC catched my attention with the HTC Touch Diamond I often visited this forum. Now I finally decided to purchase a HTC device too. I will go, like many of you, for the HTC Touch HD.
But enough of OT chat...!
As MEE I am also looking for a solution to display more appointments on the homesreen or in a new TouchFlow tab (if passoble).

No, unfortunately not. The Touch HD manual sais (on p. 67): One all-day appointment and up to two timed
appointments can be displayed. Touch this area to create, edit or view an
appointment. (See “Calendar” in Chapter 12 for details.)
This is not at all sufficient!
Anyway, this might be of interest for us (in German, though): Howto: Add a normal Today screen on TouchFlo3D
Someone here to try this on Touch HD?

This is interesting ! Please if anyone can test this and probably creates an english how to

A Today Screen clone would be one option to gain access to today info, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401907
But with our large HD screen space more flexible plugin spaces, for example x number of appointments, would be prefered.

Definitely - I agree. But is it possible to add plugins into TouchFlo3D? X1's panels are rather independent, so you can add or delete them like you want to. In TouchFlo3D, the question is whether you are bound to what you have - or whether you are flexible as with the X1. I read in a X1 thread that they even think to add TouchFlo3d as a panel!
I hope we (or HTC: do you hear us???) finds a solution without the need of porting X1's OS to the Touch HD.

I would prefer a solution without the panels. The issue (showing appointments) is rather simple compared to installing the whole panel app to Touch HD. The latter might be a good project, but generally I hope we find a solution with less impact on the phone (I will use a company device, and I know that our IT guys will attack me if I start installing different ROM's or lots of programs that are not supported).
Eriol
As a suggestion, is there any way to interface Spb into TF3D? Spb shows LOTS of forthcoming appointments, and its Today screen is so programmable to user requirements.
Would there be any practical way to use this on the Touch HD? (Even Xperia has this now!!!)
I plan to turn off TF3D (is it possible with Touch HD???)
And use something else, probably SpB Mobile Shell .... ???
Unless, yes, if we can enable "Today" application in TF3D !
I have a touch hd, you can disable the TF3D under the "today" preferences.

[APP NEEDED] Touch Xtreme (or simller)

Hay all,
I saw on a themes post an app called Touch Xtreme that basicly make your today screen wallpaper appear on every background tab when slide to the next screen on the TouchFlo
But the link was broken an I cant find it on here.
Does anyone have this or the same kind of app?
Thanks
Leigh
Since you're looking for an App, you should have posted this in the "Themes, Applications and Software" section of the forum which is also where your answer lies. The thread is called "[SOLVED] background for all tabs etc" link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475527&highlight=background+tabs
Furthermore, many of the apps in that section will create background cabs for you which will not only work for all tabs, but also in landscape (if you have manila 2.0 or higher) and in High Resolution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469865
this one?
works great for me!
Cheers for the help guys
But the first one seem quite diffcult - there no CAB progs that do this?
Also the 2nd post is a background thing is it? Thats a touch screen sentivity prog.

Hmmm ... don't now why i suggested this ... I shouldn't post at that time anymore
I'm not sure if it would be that easy with your own Home-Tab-Wallpaper, because the other Tab-Backgrounds are Manila-Files.

I just tryed the post you gave me an had an error message when coping one of the Malian files -
Only found out at the VERY last page that it was for an older TouchFlo as mines TouchFlo 3.0

Touch Flo 3d programs menu on Start Button Push

Hi does anyone know how to re-enable the touchflo 3d programs menu when the start button is pushed in 6.5 - like the way the default vodafone rom behaves?
I'm not really a fan of the default 6.5 start menu which tho interesting isn't as functional for me as the TF3D programs menu.
Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can offer with this.

I don´t like the honeything as well, there are other options, like the one under here (don't install it's for QVGA only):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522755
BUT, that's for QVGA... Already tried some WVGA cabs and played with the so called "CPR" files.
The biggest issue is to make it work when switching to landscape and back...
When I tried i also get an result like the post at the top of page 4

I never used Sony's Panels before. It is cool, I really like the Facebook panel. Too bad there is some problems with text input

i am using the htc stock 6.5 rom
i got everything working but pixel city and growing panel, are they supposed to work?? When i click on them it gives me an error about a player. also, how do you remove a favorite from the main manager screen? i have a blank spot where the nonfunctioning growing panel used to be and i can't seem to get rid of it....
thanks for this!
is this like a replacement for sense ui?
Workable on other devices?
May i know would this home plugin work for Omnia II wm6.5 stock rom or it will face the problem of permission? Thank You.
ark,
Its work great on my TP2 WM6.5 B23504 , great work.
- Like the facebook app very match, to me it much better than the m$ one, cool.
- RSS reader shows rss on screen, really nice.
Improvement:
- Screen abit out may be is because of the new WM interface which has "Start" button at below, or may be couse by "manilaFixPosition".

Maybe you should create a programs file folder, and copy PM stuf to it.
I may give this a try. Before I do, does anyone know if this uninstalls fully and without problems if you want to get rid of it?
Also, will anyone bother making panels that work on the TP2 for this?
I tried to install the app, however i still get the error message, it says about permission or you have component missing. I have installed it in order, and then the panels.
May i know how to solve this permission problem.Thanks
