Home screen plugins ("CommCEntric" & "Retro")

Hi
I would like to bring your attention to 2 free homescreen plugins i've made.
The first is CommCEntric - it places 2 icons on the home screen to quickly switch on & off the bluetooth and wifi radios.
You may already know of its existence, but I thought to further advertise it
The other one is Retro - it's like an all-new version of RJTime, it's a totally customizable analog clock, and it's a new release (first released a few days ago)
These plugins were also made with "eye-candiness" in mind... because i feel like WM5 and 6 has a lot to do yet in this aspect.
Please see my page at http://web.gemini.dynalias.net/default.asp?c=index_ek.xml

looks good
Can you make this so it works with pocket pcs? I have a att8525 and would like to use this but I can't this is for smartphone only.

I don't plan converting it to PPC ... I can give the source code to someone that would do, though

New ROM on the block...Black Touch Edition..

Hi guys I'll leave the details to the creator of this fine ROM and let him give you the low down on it....I'll say this much...it's fast, stable and Everything works straight out the box.
A few weeks have been spent behind the scenes developing this ROM and he didn't even have a device to work with, just a few of to help test it out till the early hours of the mornings and constant feedback.
PK and ltxda, Nik and myself have been trying to get rtltoday/Touch-like interface and launcher to integrate tightly into the ROM, but their software is a little buggy and not ready for the community, so it was decided that for now we would pass up on it for the sake of stability.
Hope you like the ROM...I love it. Great work from PK and I bekieve we are going to see a lot more from this guy.

Hi Mackaby007,
Sounds like a very happy customer of the new ROM. Congratulations for your success, initiatives, and contributions.
For those of us who have been debating whether to unlock our device and upgrade to this ROM (presumably giving up on our warranty support from htc), would you mind if I ask what are the improvements that can be expected from this over the Dopod WM6 of July 27?
Someone has mentioned faster speed. What is the sktools benchmark with the new ROM?
What are the other improvements or changes? Comm manager skin color that gets updated by the selected theme? Any change to the likelihood of microdrive/sd card corruption/disappearance?
Thanks for your time.
Regards.

Interesting new UI for Winmobile 6

Just came across this in one of my RSS feeds - an interesting 'new' UI for WM6, being released for free tomorrow according to their website.
Original new site (with youtube videos)
http://www.windows-now.com/blogs/ro...iphone-like-interface-for-windows-mobile.aspx
PointUI website
http://www.pointui.com/

its imaginary awesome..and good news is its free..cant wait 13 hours :d
thanx for share

wooo what a nice interface....cant wait to download it

wow, windows mobile look quiet sad next to this. Only thing I dont know is if program for windows mobile will still work correctly on it. or if there is any option for the background colors

Wow...I can't wait

Quite interesting Homescreen for a Windows Mobile phone. Wonder if it runs on Adobe Flash Lite? May try it out.

I saw this a few days ago and nearly wet myself.
I hope it's highly customizable as it looks like it has a lot of potential.

can't wait

some answers to your questions are already available on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354855&highlight=pointui

If you change the timezone on your computer to +13 Nukualufa something and go to the countdown site it shows 1H 38MIn

OMG This is sooooo cool! Can't wait 14 (oops 1 hour thanks canadeza )
And FREE??!!

This is "just" a frontend/launcher, so everything will work as usual.
I wonder if there will be something like "S2U" or something else... i LOVE this feature.

Waiting till the end of the clock.
nothing showed.
Can't download.
Nadavi

well, clock reached zero, but only the text "pointui.com" appeared. When visited the site, nothing happened, so, i'm guessing the clock has to reach zero in whichever time zone 'they' are....
Will just have to keep waiting until that happens, i.e. keep checking the website

Haha you didn't really believe this would work?
I hope it's skinable, it looks unpleasant

clock is not zero for me.8 hours is remaining

It's there to download!
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx

just downloaded and installed.
works a treat, just dont forget to turn off touchflo b4 you install
Would like a black skin, but these guys have done an awesome job. Interface is realy smooth and simple to use.
Good to see the Aussie blokes making it a New Years day present for us.
The rest of the world will catch up soon.
Happy New Year all.

Does anyone plan on making new roms and themes for hero

Does anyone plan on making new roms and themes for the hero i dont really like the look on the stock rom i have MoDaCo and it looks the same as stock like the g1 they have alot of nice roms and stuff will we ever have roms like that?

I'm currently back on the HTC ROM but I would assume you can still run any of the home replacements from the market (or just the default android one) on MoDaCo.

do you know any good ones?

It's really a preference thing, there's no harm in installing any one of them and seeing if you like'em. Sense really is the better fit for me.
Some of the major ones are:
- OpenHome
- aHome
-dxTop
- PandaHome
...that's just off the top of my head some of the ones I've tried. They each have some cool and unique things about them.

Once i figure what can me skinned and how i will be making themes. Not sure if i will post any, as i must have made at least 100 themes for S2U2 for personal use when i had my WinMo phones. If i did do one to post it would more than likely be a Danbo (Danboard) theme.
I just discovered that little guy and i already outfitted my chompSMS with several wallpapers of him.

aHome Lite made my Hero so laggy i could hardly use it. It took me like 10 minutes just to get it uninstalled.
Also, when i was searching for OpenHome i couldnt find the actual program, only themes. Anyone know the official app name?

lol if you figure out how to make a theme you should defiently make me one

I didn't have much trouble with aHome, odd.
Any home replacement will be difficult to find on the market if there's a bunch of themes with the name in it sadly.
I almost forgot a few more too:
- Freshface
- GDE (though I don't know if this one is out yet)
As for OpenHome, fire up that barcode scanner and go here:
http://www.androidtapp.com/open-home/ It has QR codes to scan and will take you straight to the market app.

which one do you think looks the best? and is the fastest

I thought I recognized you from PPCG!
I used to have a Diamond and even made a few ROMs using some of the great kitchens available. It would be awesome if there were some kind of kitchen for the Hero. Hell, I might even give it a try then...just don't tell my wife, she thinks I quit cooking.

lol you got the hero too?

There is a kitchen, its called Android SDK and you can use it with eclipse. all you need to do is go grab the source from htc and compile it the way you want to and load it up with eclipse. or the android emulator. there is other steps but thats what google is for. i am working on my own rom right now. cant wait till its done. i am wondering how fast a bone stock rom would run.

I would be ur number one fan for a bone stock Android with hero support. I'd even go as far as to say it would be the base most custom roms are based off of.
I'm not a programmer but if u go through with this is there any way to twist cryogen's work into it? He gets great reviews and the update utility is pretty pimp

Naughty by Nature Theme + music Giveaway (wm6.1 Rhodium)

Some months ago, hoping to win a Touch Pro2 from Microsoft and Naughty by Nature, I entered a contest on facebook. I didn't win the device, but I did win a Naughty by Nature theme by xda-devs' own PROBEX. I didn't have anything to put it on, and if I had, I'm not a huge fan. So it has sat unused.
I figure someone should enjoy it, so I'm looking for someone to give it to. FYI, I believe it to be winmo6.1 only. I'm not sure xda-devs is the best place to find a TP2 user still on 6.1, but there is music too. Windows Mobile told me that the prize pack zip includes "Naughty's new single, the .cab file of the TouchFlo 3D Naughty By Nature skin, as well as the full Independent Leaders CD".
EDIT: Giveaway Closed. PMs to winners going out soonish.
Subject to change at my whim, my plan is to offer it to (in the following order)
the most deserving (as determined by me) developer of any freeware or donateware (or similarly generousware) tweaks, software, ROMs etc who asks for it or
the first senior xda-devs member to ask for it or
the first of anyone else to ask for it.
Ask in this thread if you're interested, PM requests will likely be ignored. I'll end the giveaway at my own whim, so don't dilly-dally. If you're a developer of something that's not linked in your signature, and want priority consideration based on it, link to it in your post.

WOW!!!! if nobody has requested it... I would love to have it!!! i been looking for a sweet theme that would go with my brown tmobile phone... that font is off that font is crazy.. I also really like the music on boot up screen.. Let me know if you have it still or not...

I would be more then Happy for the theme. I also entered The contest and didnt win but got a TP2 anyway.

I do. You're first in line at the moment, though I do want to hold it open long enough that interested developers and cooks can get a shot. They've enhanced my WinMo experience, so I'd like to do the same for them. Do you have winmo6.1 still?

Yeah, I ended up getting the Verizon version a couple of weeks ago. I got a good deal, and I like the black better than chrome, but free would have beat it . I was really close to being the first post too. If I hadn't paused from reloading to go get a drink...

No problem, i understand, I am currently running 6.5 BUT for that theme I would change in a minute lol.

Would love to but in the middle of putting together my Rom and putting the finishing touches on the dusk dialer graphics to work on the att dialer so I can cab it up for others that dont use my rom.

You freely or freelyish distro your work? I see the DL link, I'm just checking.

Yes the ATT version shipped with 6.5, but in the process of getting my Tilt 2 My wife went out and got me an unlocked one that has 6.1 on it still. I use that one for work while the tilt 2 is for building and learning

The Giveaway has ended. Congrats to both zelendel and n8izzle who will each end up with something.
n8izzle pointed out to me in a PM that zelendel was a cook when he didn't have to, I would have missed it, and zelendel thought n8izzle should get part of the prize for his good deed. So the theme will go one way, and music the other. I'm glad the recipients are such good sports. Contest winners aren't normally so generous to their fellow entrants.
