My humble contribution to ThrottleLauncher - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I've started developing a theme for ThrottleLauncher, and I would like to know your opinion.
As a small explanation of the theme I could say it has 3 main rows + footer.
- In the first row you find a simple clock plus info on your next appointment in your agenda.
- On the second you get the contacts that you assign to the favorites category.
- The third row provides 7 shortcuts that you can personalize with your own apps + 1 for all of them.
- The footer brings up the following pages:
Contacts;
Weather;
Calendar;
Settings.
Not all of it finished so, one of this days I will post a cab to install it in your device.
Hope to ear from you...

Thats a very nice theme. I suggest you wait a bit before developing it all, because APBilbo said he would release v0.9.2 soon this week or the next. IMHO, I would say it's nice except the background doesn't really go well with the icons and some of the icons are pixelated. Besides that, it is a very good theme.

The graphics? Yeah... Ok.

Humm, I wasn't aware that the new version was coming out, but I agree with you. I'll wait a bit.
About the graphics, I also agree with you and as you were the first (and only) so far to refer that, what do you suggest? The icons on the apps are the ones from the .exe plus a background that I found out in some other theme (sorry to the author, but don't remember who you are ). The photos on the contacts row are from the phone's outlook.
Would you like to manage the graphics? I feel much better with the code lines...

Okay. v0.9.2 just got released today. I see a black line below the start button. I think you should place the clock a little lower. The icons are nice, but they don't really match the feel of it. I suggest you either change the background or change the icons to something like the iPhone icons, unless you don't like the iPhone icons, I mean totally your choice.

Very good to see the author of this great app reading my thread!!
Your help will be for sure of great use, but first I will try to "learn" your new theme and the changes in the code and then if I get really stuck in some problem I will be thanked for your help. I will!
Finally, thanks for this great piece of software!

found here http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=4662.0
PS. There have been some changes in donottouch skin that are not published too.
The 2nd plugin is Pocketbreeze 5.3.0.6
have quite a few 3rd party plugins incorporated to pocketbreeze (weather panel, info reader, spb backup plus).
Unfortunately the mods that i did to get the feel is not published. So if you're interested i'll pass you the files, all i need is your email.
The 3rd is Batterystatus.
Of which have modified the xml to get this look and feel.
The top bar consists of:
mytools 1.5.1 - use this for battery uptime and connection uptime (when available). Have got some custom icons for the ok/close soft buttons.
indibar 2.7.0 - for the RAM and Battery meters, as well as the cascading start menu.
The bottom bar consists of Saman's WM5NewMenu.
i think that about covers it.

wanted it to be clean and nice.

S2U2 Pointui skin ?

Hey
Wondering if anyone out there is/would like to make a skin for S2U2 to make it match the Pointui interface.
At the moment i have Home running, then when a call comes through S2U2 pops up with slide to answer. Would be awesome to skin S2U2 to match the Pointui look, would look great, all matching and what not.
Also, anyone know of a PocketCM Pointui look-a-like skin? Again this would look great.
Thanks!
I'd like a PointUI skin to match S2U2.
PointUI is not skinnable as yet but here's hoping....
When you lock pointui it gives it's own unlocking slider screen
Well someone made a TSK to match the PointUI. All you would need to do is extract the JPG out of the TSK. I was gonna get around to it but haven't been back to the office yet. If anyone has some theme editing software they can get a jump start on it.
Attached is the PointUI today theme.

Yeah buts its real bad. s2u2 is much better and handles incoming calls etc. So untill the Pointui guys improve the locker, a s2u2 pointui theme would be great.
Here's the images I used in the TSK, they were extracted from PointUI:
S2U2 "Pointui wallpaper skin"
Copy these 2 wallpapers to S2U2/GFX.
Yeah we are heading in the right direction.
What about icons and such?
i'll see if i can knock together an S2U2 theme for you guys, but it won't really be top quality, since i need to get to sleep soon. just something to appease the people while someone else who has more time to focus on it can produce a better product.
There's a great tutorial for modifying S2U2 in this thread here.
I'll get to working on a PointUI theme for S2U2 as soon as I finish setting up my Telus branded HTC Touch (Vogue 100)(P3050) for the 5th time. (screwed up registry trying to make TouchPal the default SIP) (Used PIM Backup to overwrite the last good backup with a barebones PIM from the last HR)
here's a theme
Hey Azimuth
Thanks for the theme. Just a few notes as you mentioned its untested, iv tested it and..
- There seems to be a white bar next to the SMS icon
- The Clock font is real choppy
- The slide button has white areas in the top corners where i suppose this should be transparent
- Is it possible to have larger icons for SMS, Emails and Calls, like the Pointui ones.
critiques
will fix
Azimuth21
thanks for producing such a nice theme for s2u2. Everyone is good apart from the slide button, i think the corners should be smoother...lol...
anyways for sharing...
I just created the PointUI Slider, I hope you like it.
And here's how my S2U2 looks like.
PS: The icons dont work.
Here's is a coloured version.
Here's how my S2U2 screen looks like:
Firstly, we appreciate that you guys are impressed by Pointui Home, XDA has some hardcore PDA fans and we know you're a tough crowd. We also know what kind of stuff goes down here, hi to all the Chefs out there.
We know that Pointui Home is limited in areas and other software is needed, but come on guys, you have completely raped the logo. Its been designed so its square, it would fit in nicely. That looks like Xenu is about to land.
If you guys are serious then step up. Contact us and ask, let us know what kind of sh!t is going down here. Maybe we can at least meet you half way so the result is decent.
We'll try and get a setting in to have the lock look for an external app like we did with 1.01b and the Music icon, mail, etc.. in the next build.
As you can tell from our forum Joel and I are pretty busy and given we do this in our own time after work so we might not get back to you for a bit. Please have some patience.
Also, please if anyone in these forums works out how to get something to work and there are people in our forum with the same problem we'd appreciate you hook them up.
Thanks cstewart for the donation and Dorothy sends her regards
Cheers,
Shane...

This is a legitimate concern, it's your trademark and I would be peeved as well. However go easy on mushipkw, I'm sure his including your logo was out of admiration and not with the intent to desecrate it
You should include trademark usage guidelines on your website or completely forbid it.

Today Screen Launcher IDEA.. please develop..

hi. i first posted this idea on the PointUI forum.. so forgive me for the blasphemous screen.. anyway.. i jsut want to share this idea for those developers, willing to create a scrolling today screen launcher..
click thumbnail for the animated demo..
the idea is, to create a launcher that is customizable (custom icons - TGA or PNG for transparency), scrollable, and FUN.. hehe..
anyway.. it's a simple horizontal swipe and scroll.. but the added feature of the - what i call - default pane..
the default pane should be a set of five shortcut icons (user configurable) that can be easily accessed from anywhere in the horizontal list.. how? double tap the space above the icons..
for example, you have a 16 icon horizontal list, if you are in the end of the list, and you have to go back to your default pane, just double tap the space above the icons, and the list will scroll back to your default pane..
also, there should be an option for memory or default..
the memory option remembers the last position of your launcher and remains where it is even after you launched a program or switched to another window..
the default view scrolls the list back to the default pane after launching a program or every time the today screen becomes active..
this idea could not just be a today screen plugin.. it can also be a launcher that can be called via screen gesture (FtouchSL/FtouchFLO).. the difference with this launcher, is if implemented, would just be an over-window rather than a full screen launcher.. it may also be a task switcher.. depends on the developers choice..
here's a quick demo..
[/i]click on the thumbnail for the animated demo..[/i]
once again, this is just an IDEA.... for someone else with the programming prowess..
i'm just good with photoshop and ideas. but binaries and hexadecimals kill me..
Good idea..i hope some one develops it...u can try Throttle launcher
Where did you find the picture?
Have you done it by yourself?
look into ultimatlaunch also... very similar to what you are wanting
with customize icons and wallpaper... wold be good.. and a feeds infos too on the clock and events apperance
the upper part of the picture/animation is the PointUI Home interface.. no credit for me with that..
the bottom part however is mostly my creation.. (the icons used were modified from bundled stardock icons for windowsXp)
i created the bottom part and the application launcher ribbon as an idea suggestion for the developers of PointUI..
a bit inspired by the leaked wm7 pix and the iphone springboard hacks they created over at cre.ations.net
i don't really like PointUI that much (YET, but i'm getting there), so i also suggest the idea as a native Today Screen plugin.. and an all around launcher.. a minimalist approach, compared to the touchFLO cube and it's encarnations..
i don't like ultimate launcher that much.. i'm not into Tabbed launchers.. too much space consumed..
throttle launcher looks cluttered at the moment.. too much things are rendered on screen at the same time.. it takes up much time loading and, again, screen real estate.. i'm still eyeing for its future improvements though.. especially if it will be able to get customized, as in, to be able to select the features that will be loaded, and will not..
it's not likely that all people want to see a big clock, a bunch of contact pictures, all of the shortcuts, and running programs cramped in their screen at the same time..
Would be awesome...good idea buddy.

they have a single line launcher now, it the same thing you ar requesting. I'm also keeping an eye on them i think the single line can be a nice addon to every rom. (but it has to be easy customiseble)
If you combine Ultimate Launcher with some clever today screen plugins, especially with rltoday, you can do at least the first part with customization only.
if only the creator wants to make pointui for VGA sigh..
That concept has been done here
i tried v2r and though it was not that good....this idea is awesome though i would love to see it developed
I like the concept.... I'll try to achieve something similar with my app (ThrottleLauncher) and report back with what can be done . Some questions:
Any way of getting the art work used on your screen shots?
What are the left and right arrows on the clock for?
Thanks for that cool concept!

This is what I've so far. I know the look is not the same but without the background's it's the closer I can make it for the today plugin. For the "poping up" app, the same theme can be used without the clocks on throttle main app. A little modification on the app will be needed to show the prevous window as background.

The today plugin ribbon is really eassy to achieve with my app ;-). I've made a simple theme for you. Just uncompress the zip file into your instalation dir of ThrottleLauncher (see my signature).
After that, go to ThrottleConfig app (it must be on your programs menu) and set plugin height to 38 (or higher if you customize the icons to be bigger), then sellect Ribbon on the combo box and click "Set Today's" button. Then on the actions menu (left softkey) select Edit AppDB, add as much app's as you wish (needed fields are title, name and exec, only select an icon if you wan't to override the default of the app). Select the app's you want to be on the Used list. After all that add throttletoday plugin to your today screen.
If you wan't to make some playing with the setup you can take a look at this tutorials
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=8
You can for example eassily set the ribbon to be 2 rowed, add a clock, add contact photodial ribbon, etc etc .
edit: removed atachment as it contained an error. Look some post's below for the correct one..

Sorry... my fault... there was an error on the zip. Setup xml must be inside a folder called Ribbon on the setups folder and not directly inside it. Here you have an update of the simple ribbon setup and the one of the screenshots above (this last will require a little work still but I upload it so you can test it ).

Looks Promising...
Just a suggest:
* possible to make it "Scrolling"? Like those TouchFLO Tabs, but... of course, they are program icons...
edit: The concept like the TouchFLO tabs... those icons only take 1 row to display, so when they have more (>6 icons in my case) those icons will drawn off-screen, then a swipe (or drag) a icon horizontally scroll the row of icons to reveal those off-screen ones
This will save a lot of screen estste when people put a lot of icon inside.
edit: This piece works well with my *OLD* Asus P750...
Nice Apps.... but locked my screen occassionally. Btw i am using TP2.
Simple feature?
> All bug reports, fresh ideas and recommendations are welcome.
How about having the option to add links to programs? And perhaps with parameters as well. In that case you can skip the option about doc's etc, since you can add link to any doc, program on memory cards etc. And we can freely add programs always located at the same place that are not installed after a hard reset.
THX super app
Awesome app. Exactly what I was looking for, need to get this moved over to Devel and Hacking. I think a ton of ppl would like this over there.
I'm using it on VZW Touch Pro btw.
Feature suggestion! Would be great if you could define the setting between icons and set say 4 icons per row and te prog automatically centres the 4 icons and assigns spacing in between them..
Excellent app - replaces the old Eten quicklinks, which suffered greatly from "losing" entries when a new shortcut appeared in \Windows\Start Menu. EasyToday does not have this "feature"
But, SELECT is only one link at a time, you have to return to the list screen for each link that you want checked. So maybe v1.2 willallows multiple selections off the list screen ?
Hello,
It seems that the app is limited to just 14 icons. Is there a way to add more? I have plenty of room on my today screen.
Thank you for your software.
gb
Like this app a lot, but have a suggestion/feature request:
Add the ability to have multiple "pages" of icons that you can flip between with a left/right swipe motion.
I know that's probably not the easiest thing to implement, but it would be awesome.
(actually just noticed Clound pretty much said the same thing -- great minds think alike!)

Second vote for this! This is a great application for those of us who prefer today screen over the touch flow.
I would like some space between the icons to make selection easier. 5 or 4 icons per row with a buffer horizontally, vertical height is fine...
Awesome App!
Help a noob....
I've downloaded the .cab and installed it to my device. Now how do I actually use the program? Can someone please walk me through the process? I can't even find the program anywhere on my phone!

Also including a different contact icon if you want it. Not necessarry but a different style in case you do not like the contact tab with the human outline.
I am running mighty rom Windows 6.5 with Manila 2.5.2013
I was not happy with the centering of the Calendar date on the tray icon-so I included a cab with the fix.
Facebook Tab. You must already have the tab in order to use this. I installed it from Meltwaters and then alterred his manila for tabs
lubbad85, you are my hero! I have been looking for this everywhere. I don't know why but for some reason I've liked this style of slider ever since I've seen it on another carrier's phone.
I installed it asap and I like how it works! It works like a charm, I love it. Great job lubbad85, you rock! The only thing I would probably do is just better the screen icons when you change to a different tab on the slider. Those stock white ones will do but I would just see if I could replace them with any other better icons. Just my personal opinion. Other than that, you created a beautiful slider!
Quick question, I'm running C0okie's Home Tab. How does that extra notification bar appear? (The one on top of the actual sider)

In the options for cookies home tab you can put the extra notification bar. I think under miscelaneous The bar is a bit redundant though.
Glad you like the slider. Give me an example of what kind of slider you really want. If you give me a direction I can build one. Manila is very forgiving. If you screw it up you have only to delete the manila file that you put into windows and the phone's ROM will build it back the way it was before the new manila was used.

I've been looking around in C0okie's Home Tab for the past 40 minutes and I believe I've gone through the whole editor twice and I still cannot find the setting which enables the extra notification bar. I feel like a noob or just looking for something that isn't there. I'm running v1.8.5.

I got it! Thank, yet again! As far as the slider goes, it works like a charm! I really don't have any other suggestions for it as of right now. Maybe later as time goes by and I think of something. But if you implement any improvements or make any changes to it please post it up, I will gladly test it out. Thank again!
lubbad85, I found a small little defect that you might consider. When I slide to a desired tab on my touch flo, I find that the tab icon I chose has a blurry icon. It looks like as if there is another lighter icon behind the primary icon. It's just a little annoying and tends to cross my eyes after a while. lol. Check it out in the attachment to understand what I'm talking about.
Nice work bro! Would you consider adding icons for Facebook and Call History tabs please?

I found this slider skin very pretty and charming! Is it OK to cook this skin into rom? I'm developing roms for myself, but somehow the xda community convinced me to upload them to public xD

I like that idea. I have been running a Mighty Rom. But I will try yours when you get done cooking.

My ROMs won't be updated before August if someone doesn't find some critical bugs
This slider really fits the "old" Sense 2.5 skin, however it has got some images that could be a bit more polished... Ach, and some icons could be a little re-sized, because they aren't this same size. Anyway overall the experience is great! So keep up this wonderful work, first time that I like something that isn't made by ShowTime7.
right.

Thanks lubbad85, you're the man! Your work is greatly appreciated.
Hi there, I downloaded and installed the theme, but I dont know how to change the theme, i hate to ask but how exactly do I apply the theme? I tried Star->Settings->Today, but the theme is not on the list of available themes.
Thanks for your patience, I've only had the phone for a week or so.

You're going to run the .cab file from your storage card and install it onto your device when prompted to. Immediately after the slider is installed it is going to ask you to restart so the changes can take effect. You hit "yes" or "ok" (Not sure which option it gives you) Then, once the device restarts and turns on, the slider will appear and should be already installed automatically. You shouldn't have to do any other additional setting changes after you restart so the slider takes effect.
Hmm I installed all 3 cabs and it just told me "white metal 2.5 2013.cab was successfully installed on your device" (same thing with the other 2) but it didn't prompt me if I wanted to restart the device.
Any ideas why? this blue at&t theme is ok but this B&W Metal theme looks amazing.
Thanks
turn off sense

Hello again lubbad85!
Could you do me a little favor and add a facebook icon too? The meltwaters work is really impressive!
Just the sense tab

You just want the sense tab-in other words you already installed the other files neccessary for the tab? So just the tab icons?
If so here is the cab for just the tab sense icons in white to match the set. I cannot test it since I have not installed the control files for this tab.
