Hi all,
You absolutely need to have a look at this plugin... beautifull?
I am testing the evaluation version and it works great !!!
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/screenshots.html?en
dag
i've puschased it.very funcionally plugin for me
Tried it, didn't like it....
you cant beat Wisbar advance desktop, FANTASTIC!
I use it.
It is great, as it makes the icons very 'finger friendly', and you can quickly navigate to programs or system settings.
IMO, it really is the most practical plugin - not just looks good, but functional and easy to use
Now this is excately what I´ve been looking for!! Really great app! Finally an app that makes one hand navigation on the touch screen possible in a very good way! Really good, and I really really recomend it to everyone who has a pocket pc!
Great!!
great plugin.
i use it for severl months. works great.
i've tried wisbar advanced and i don't like it.
How i can customize Home Tab icons?

Agreed, Mobile Shell is awesome and given the customisation that's happening in the Dev section of this forum even better.

Hi Deedee.
Any chance you could post some links to some particular examples? I know if I looked for a while I could probably stumble across them, but I'm at work!
Thanks,
Mattster.
I have to agree that its a great piece of software, I have used the previous version and have just upgraded yesterday to the 2.1. I'm now able to uninstall the HTC home plugin and use this solely.
My biggest annoyance with it is that you cannot edit the website where you source the weather updates, however I have now installed SPB weather which enables me to specify my weather source.
Whenever I flash a new Rom I always make sure that this is one of the first programs added.

Interesting how this thread has been revived!
I'm often tempted to go for the HTC look, I like the large clock digits, but for functionality and ease of use I generally decide to stick with Spb.
Manindesert, what's your preferred ROM at the moment then?
Manindesert:
Just seen in your signature "FInixNOver WWE 6.1 Ver. 3.2 Light".... not tempted to go for the 3.4 light upgrade then? I'm nearly tempted to flash from Mary to FInix but am so happy with my device as it is at the moment! Plus I'd lose my Tomtom speed camera use (due to change in device code after flashing". What do you reckon?

Not sure about examples per se but here's links to the threads concerned, they are long but there are some nuggets in there:
Development sub-forum
General 2.1 Customisation
NiteStalkers Themes
There may be others but that's the ones i can find quickly.

Thanks Deedee.
I'm sitting at work shattered and dying because I spent last night trawling through the first 200 pages of 2.1 themes and development! The whole diamond theme thread for example was interesting, but the theme itself didn't appear till page 125 or something!
Lots of interesting stuff, but for every tweak or theme offered there seems to be a problem or issue that needs solving. I think I've decided I am too much of a "If it aint broken don't try and fix it" type of person for half of the threads. If anything went wrong with my phone, I would have to drop everything in my life until it was fixed!
All I'm debating now is whether to flash Fixinover's 3.4 lite rom as it apparently has a fix in it for the issue in Mary's Rom where the device code changes and passwords are lost after a soft reset. But I'm still resisting as there always seem to be extra reg edits and cabs to download after flashing a cooked ROM due to issues that people discover!
Check out this contact manager.
http://www.iwindowsmobile.com/contact-manager.html
Dont know if its me, I find it looking like PocketCM. With a different theme but with a small additional feature, call history
I agree with you. It's way too similar... and they're developing a "sms chat"... I saw that before right here on the forums...
Would be a nasty abuse of tene's hard work. He did the work, he deserves the money!!
IMHO tene's version is still a lot better, but it does indeed look like theft.
I saw on their site they're develloping easy-type as well, which might be similar to PocketCM keyboard! If so... a bloody shame!

Well, maybe I'll play against myself, but as long as they don't use my binaries, that's fine. It seems to me that's another implementation of the same ideas, and I don't own the ideas.
Did anyone tried it? is it good? for 19.95$ I hope it is
haven't tried it, why pay when i can use your version free
I gave this one a shot
Although there is no novelty as far the idea is concerned,the implementation is quite good!
Heres the difference between tene's version and this one :
1:> One tab assigned to Call Logs
2:> Animations are slightly different (Flip up/down instead of Flip Left/Right in tene's version)
3:> Setting a contact as a favourite is extremely easy
(On the contact detail screen , there is a star..you just have to select that star to set the contact as favourite..IMHO this is easier/quicker than two taps approach in tene's version)
4:> Animation seems slightly faster and even browsing through the alphabet index is very quick
5:> No support for SMS chats
Most important difference IMHO is that contacts can be edited/deleted through this app. This is a very nice feature as it allows you to change user information be it contact number/address/name etc. using its own input method/panel (Although creating contacts is still via normal way)
All in all,a good effort..but I wouldnt like to pay for this one especially when a free alternative is available and that too a very good alternative .Nevertheless,I would expect tene to give a look in to the features for his next version (if theres gonna be one)
I'll continue
6:> About 1,4mb installation
7:> Pretty slow to boot
8:> Weirdest built in keyboard ever.
9:> Much more fluid in use than pocketcm. (wizard)
10:> Scrolling works much better (slows down and accelerates more like an iphone)
you can download a trial version...
personal opinion, it sucks compared to tene's CM...
the only advantage is that it has a call log which probably tene can easily add.
- pictures do not show on the initial phonebook list
- also phone numbers do not show
- pager numbers do not show on contact details (i'm a doctor and use very frequently)
- no sms (my favorite part in tene's CM)
- you can only sort by either first,company or last name (CM you have an option to sort by city, category, company, sms....)
- comes in only one boring theme - (there are some excellent themes out there for CM and i like to change every few days)
- doesn't have the search option.
- address doesn't show in contact details (you have to press a button which takes you to the built-in contact manager for the address and more details!)
the list goes on and on...
so, NO way would I pay 20$ for that software... even if it was for free and I had to pay for Tene's CM I would still prefer tene's CM, his software is far more superior.
lol @ the built-in keyboard
I'll add:
11:> PCM looks much nicer not to mention PCM can use themes. Funcontact can't.
12:> PCM has a lot more features (although that's also exactly the same thing I hate about PCM.. it's starting to become bloatware). Funcontact works.. it does what it needs to do in a convenient and fast way.
13:> No support for landscape (it doesn't flip even if you slide the keyboard). It stays in portrait no matter what. It's good in a way because it keeps the app stable, unlike PCM which starts to screw up whenever I slide my keyboard out to type SMS.
14:> It caches everything on memory on program start
15:> So far, it's very stable
16:> It uses the WM GUI for sending messages
Well, maybe I'll play against myself, but as long as they don't use my binaries, that's fine. It seems to me that's another implementation of the same ideas, and I don't own the ideas.

I got hold of the "free" version (ahem.. sorry guys, I'm not going to give links)
PCM still better, but I agree with you it becomes bloatware if Tene keep adding unnecessary features.

hi tene, a bit off topic, but where can i get the basic theme for pocketcm? the one posted in the screenshots at your site.
You should ask the original poster DaVince about that bloatware

It's obviously still in its infancy...
If you take a peek at the BMPs for the app. they show Call and End icons plus many others, waiting to be switched on!
It's been said already that there is development planned for SMS chat and a better keyboard (their current one is BIZZARE!).
I've put it on my phone to do a comparison and it does seem faster (once it's loaded). This might be inpart due to the lack of fades and zooms between some screens.
I like the contact detail screen and the simple option to SMS to any number. Very nice deign, but then it should be...they pay professional designers to do the work.
The switch to view the contact in the Windows app is almost INSTANT! so no worries for me about a lack of address.
Given some layout options and skins and maybe 6 months to develop, it could be excellent.
Does use a lot of RAM to run though and I miss the filter option at the moment. Like I say thgouh, time will tell which app comes out on top.
I'm very much looking forward to Tene's next release, due soon. If he's got any sense (and he has), some of the nice little touches may well find their way into PocketCM
Oh yes, if you want the Vito icons for your PocketCM theme, you know where to go ;-)
As some have noted, PocketCM is free. However, that should not stop you from supporting Quentin's (Tene's) hard work and donate *something* so that he CAN continue to support and refine it with your direct suggestions.
G.
Hey, I also tested this "funcontact".
Its not bad, and looks also nice, but the scrolling didnt work well on my prophet... PCM does...
I prefer PCM because it can handle my SMS and there are possibilities to customize.
The only thing better in funcontact is the callLog.
PS.: It looks really like PCM, but its not the orignial.
TENE U did a real goog job man, thanks

If yoo use a software and you like it show some apriciation with a donation..
Because i never find a countdown skinnable and powerfull, I was thinking of one that can do the standard job (Counting down ) with thumb friendlyness like the time settings for an appointement in thumbcal and where you can use a database of countdown like for cooking (eggs meats ....) or meditation timing (where you can choose an easy listening mp3 to came back to "real"). It will do parallell counting like my meat and my meditation.
I'm shamed because i think it's a long but easy job for a part of you but i can't do it myself, i've spent to much time learning to help others but not in a programming way.
I haven't find that for weeks on google so perhaps it doesn't exist.
Thanks for reading (perhaps answering).
PS: reminder: _skinnable
_thumbfriendly
_multitask
_database that anyone can enhance
_and why not easy to use (configurator for .ini or stff like that)
Some kind of timer?
But why skinnable? The most important thing is functionality. Or do you just want to watch at it?
skinnable
Because i've noticed that when an app can be "design" by users it is more attractive, it can enhance the theme/skin your using but you're right first it must be functional and exhaustive. And like most of people here i like to change apps looking to my way.
ps: pocketscreen is great that's the one i'm using.

Perhaps your the one that could help me, that could be a great learning for me to try to make this app. I've got friend that dev on java and c++ but for other platform and they are not interested in ppc, do you think that mortscript (that seems "easy") could be a way to do this stuff from nothing ?
A fine example of playing with WAD.

Hi
Just wanted to put something else on the thread, bcuz we can do so much with the program but only a select few have the right answers.
I think you shoulden`t be messin with another phone`s UI, just use your own to make that result.
I dont like PPC`s that use too much sliding UI.
like it says Pocket PC, so lets just make it work precisely like a pc that`s more fun.
Ironic considering your sample is a Mac OS wannabe LOL.
To each his/her own. I personally don't think it's a good idea to dictate what people should or shouldnt do with their phones, time, or themes.

Exactly...
...so where are the tutorials/threads on WAD? I have searched before and there aren't many. I'm curious and want to try it out.
There's a whole forum at the WAD website http://lakeridgesoftware.com/forum. Probably your best bet for ideas, samples, and support.
WAD2 is going to be even better!
The new version of WAD is almost complete and for people who want to customize their own devices - not just install a cab and have it be done (like SPB Mobile Shell) - WAD2 is by far the best option. It has about anything you can think of (at least I can): Multiple pages, with multiple plug-ins, show or hide task bar or bottom bar, notifications, registry displays, WMP display, weather support, animation, gestures..... try it! It is still a little buggy and I highly recommend you find the graphics or plug ins you like and create your own skin. That is the one drawback to WAD / 2 is it is very device specific, so loading someone else's skin usually does not work (different apps in diff locations, etc).
Here is my screen today. I tend to change it almost every day!

Thank you!...
I've used a trial WAD. Missed gestures, transitions, several bugs (Mio A701) and sometimes bad reloads (specially after empty battery softreset). The more you add the more it slows everything. Some object like meters (signal, battery, sms counter) even with a low refresh time still take a lot of memory.
It's beautiful for icons. But IMHO i prefer a complete UI (like PointUI, which has a french-style, gestures, menus,...)

Is that UL addiction yet?
Wad is not slow
To take a hit at WAD`s speed, is a loose shot.
The speed depends on a whole lot of factors. Depending on youre device and its specs.
For my Touch its quick and I never have to wait for something its fast and runs good. I can do everything with it.
SOmeone called me Ironic for putting a mac screen on my ppc.
I was not ironic because I made it look like the pc`s interface not like another phone`s interface. What I think is that, wad is doing is giving people the possibility to make their own phone.
All these commercials on tv with phone this phone that and most of them dont work are not that great.
What programs like WAD offer is, a phone (with a brand that you buy) and once youre home you can forget all about the brand and make your own device.
I LOVE THE PROGRAM RESPECT TO THE MAKERS TILL WM7 IM STICKING TO IT

I found SFR Calculator is actually gorgeously BEST!!
it remains the entries and results in the onscreen papersheet,I thought this is not neat thing,but after I tried it personally,it's rapturously good.
In simple calculation, I think SFR Calculator is better than Hicalc,iSS SciCalc,Panoramic Calc Pro,Omega One 1-Calc etc.
Hicalc etc are very cumbersome.
Try to calculate 750/9654 for example,in SFR Calculator v2.0.0,the result is 0.07768800...
(if the result is not this,you can go to Menu >Extras >Preferences >Rouding >no rounding)
If you try iSS SciCalc,Panoramic Calc Pro etc,the result is 7.768800 -002,there is no setting to make the result become 0.07768800...
So which one is best?
If you want to see the screen shot and download,pls search Google "SFR Calculator v2.0.0 mobil***",the first result. [edited:the site the google search will direct to is against xda rules]
You can go to Menu >Extras >Preferences to make buttons bigger,so it's very finger friendly.
Forget about HTC calculator,yes,it's very good looking,but it only supports 9-digit in portrait mode. see my complaint:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694914
pffff...
I think you have some problems with maths/physics.. Do you know what is scientific (exponential) notation ??? FYI, 0,077688 = 7,7688 * 10^(-2)
Exponential notation is standard form of number writing, so the answer should be written in this form
Hmm, if I use HTC Calculator, and simply rotate my device (don't even have to slide out the keyboard) that same calculation (750/9654) results in 0.07768800497203. So, which one is better?

I know this. but it's not easy to rotate the screen...anyway,it's awkward movement,when you move your hand to write the number,maybe the screen "eacapes' back to portrait mode,everyone knows what i mean.
plus,some roms....there is no auto landscape mode for HTC Calculator,you must slide keyboard out,moreover....in landscape,it's kinda scientific calculator,in screen it appears like this" 3+5*6-9". I want a calculator like the one we use in our office.

i if you want a really powerful calculator, you should try SMath studio (it's freeware) . Maybe, the interface is not user-friendly.. it is quite similar to MathCad : )
