Hello all,
Can someone extract the Treo 800W today screen dialer plugin? It appears that the Treo Pro will not have this nice plugin. This plugin resides on the Today screen and can be hidden using the hidelogo.cab.
I like how the plugin lets you dial directly from the Today screen. The WM6.1 dialer takes you AWAY from the Today screen to dial, which is inefficient.
If someone already have the extracted cab, can you please PM me? In the past, the plugin was made available here but Palm complained and it had to be removed. Thanks so much!
I share your pain!
hi,
I'm with you - I hate the standard WM dialer. I've just upgraded to a Treo Pro from a 750 and I am not enjoying the experience. If you got anywhere with your request could you share it with me?
Thanks,
John
Nope, so far no luck. No one has been willing to share or help.
Is this what you are looking for?
Thanks for the file. I don't think it's the right one. What I am looking for is Treo's on screen dialer. When you start typing a name or number, it automatically begin to display the matching contact right ON the Today's screen. Although WM6 have this same feature, it takes you to a new window for the search. It find this extra screen inefficient.
Take a look at the image at this post. It's the second item on the screen. The one that says "Type a name or number"

I think it's called "Dial look-up," but I think it is also part of "Active call" (the search box at least)
I just wish Palm's today screen plug-ins weren't so intertwined. I've tweaked them to off on my 700wx.
From my search in the forum, at some point, somebody did post this cab file. However it was removed because Palm supposedly complained to xda-dev. If it can be hosted offsite, that might work.

Hello!
Does anybody know a way to add speed dial shortcuts on the today screen?
Earlier I had a SonyEricsson P910i with a handy software that let me put shortcuts on the screen for dialing and sms'ing to specified contacts.
I am using SPB Pocket Plus to add other shortcuts in the today screen and I saw in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26468 that "vijay555" seems to have found a way to create shortcuts for dialing that he puts on today screen with cLaunch!
Any ideas?

cyberetti -
Why didn't you just ask me for the program!?
I'll try to upload it later today.
I used to use Tracker (I assume that's what you refer to?) and missed the functionality, and really dislike the call prog on the PocketPC. So I made my own shortcut prog. There's probably another VERY simple way to do it, but with mine, you just pass it a command line and it'll dial for you.
Have you seen Wisbar desktop advance? It's moving towards Tracker type functionality.
Will keep you posted.

I suppose I could have asked you directly vijay555, don't know why I didn't actually but anyway thanks man!
On my P 910i I used a prog called "Handy Day" wich added a WM lookalike todayscreen to it, as I said it had that dialing function implemented.
Ill have a look at Wisbar desktop Advance...

Guys, I've posted programs to quick dial and SMS from shortcuts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26972
Tell me how it goes!

Thanks man!
That is absolutely brilliant!
I really enjoy those little tweaks that improve the functionality of the Magician, this is without any doubt one of them!

Coming from a Treo, I'm used to my "Today" screen being a phone keypad. I'd love if I could add a phone keypad to the today screen. Of course, I'd still like the top row to show my next appointment (just like my Treo did).
Is there a dialpad plug-in for the Today screen?
There is a free app called QuickDial that does exactly this. Use everybody's best pal Google, and you're sure to find it.

That's what you're lookin for, I imagine.
I am working on my Today screen for my 8525 and have a couple of questions? Is there a shortcut I can create in cLAUNCH that will open the Settings\Today? If so, what is the .exe file name?
Also, how do you incorporate more than one Today screen. My main screen is getting full, so I was thinking about creating a 2nd one for Weather and other add-ons while leaving Today Agenda on the 1st screen. Is there freeware to help build this type setup? Thanks.
Regarding second half of your post see here (multiple today screens):

freeware?? not that I'm aware of.
However, lookinto the bundle deal from SBSH for pocketbreeze, pocketweather, and ilauncher

I saw this post. Is Total Commander Freeware? I have so much tied up in the 8525, my wife would have a fit if I started buying all of the additional add-ons. Thanks?
Shortcuts to today: please use the search function

Check out the link I gave above for Today screens I think there was a reference to free stuff.
PS Total Commander is free.

Thanks
Thanks. I meant Today Commander or something along those lines.
hi,
is it possible to completely replace the today screen with an app of your choice, e.g. the phone app? i found a thread describing how to add a dialpad (plugin) to your today screen but nothing about how to replace.
why i am asking this is i want to use the htc kaiser phone skin as my default app (= today replacement)
thx
oliver
pleeease,
just give me any information.
even if it is not possible, that info will be very much appreciated.
or am i touching here a well hidden secret?
or am i asking a stupid question?
as i said any info is more than welcome
I haven't seen anything to completely replace the today screen at startup. But, there are many 3rd party and HTC plugins...HTC Home would be the closest to a replacement and it has a application launcher tab. You can do a search on this if your intersted.
galaxys,
thanks indeed!
at least i am now certain that i have to live with the home screen.
re htc home: as far as i know it does not provide me with a dialpad functionality (or does it?).
i know that there are speeddial home-plugins (like the palm treo one), but i need now a complete dialpad-plugin incl. speeddial. have you seen s.th. like this?
or is it even possible to wrap an exe file (e.g. by a third party software) and make it available as a home plugin?
The HTCHome does not have a dialpad. Also, I haven't seen any Today screen dialpad plugins (but there might be some out there). Just saw this active thread that teaches creating & customizing the Today screen...maybe some help for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332800
Today screen replacement possible...
... see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371394
But I'm not sure it replaces Today Screen. It seems to be just a full screen application.

hello all,
What is the path to the executable file for the dialing side of the HTC cube (on the Sprint Vogue for example)? I am hoping to set an icon with that path, so when its clicked it brings up the 9 icon dialing side of the cube...
thanks
cprog.exe or phone..im not sure though
hmmmm cprog.exe just brings up the regular dialer....
i am hoping to bring up the side of the cube with the 9 icons which can be set with photos.
thanks
Maybe to take it a step further, do you think it would be possible to just have the dialer part of the cube? I love the dialer on slithers cube but that is the only part of the cube that i use. Been looking around for awhile but i have not found any answers.
You are looking for a makecall.exe.
Its discussed here
