An Idea - Touch Cruise ROM Development

I was going to cook a rom (based on c_shekhar's) but i'm not a cooker, i realized why you guys brick your hard drives and deal with some user complaints, that must be dificult and i thank you for your patience.
But my idea was the folowing
1- Why use htc taskmanager instead of wktask (soo much cooler)
the first thing i do after flash my device is to disable htc's and install wktask, for those how don't know try it, it's very nice.
2- Why not cook the SecondToday, Manila 2D is wonderfull and i don't want to replace it, but there are a lot of today plugins very good (i use a lot phonealarm and eficasoft GPRS(by the way i only got it working on c_shekhar's rom)
3- Biotouch.exe is (if you have the cube enabled) invocated when you drag your finger down to left to show the cube so if you don't use the cube why not replace it with secondtoday (cool hein?) and if you drag it again you'll have manila
To acomplish this you'l need:
Mortscript installed and secondtoday (off course)
Cube registry enabled
The rest is in the attachment
What's in the attachment:
VJBrisk.exe renamed Biotouch.exe
VJTarget.lnk to my mortscript
and my morscript
Backup your biotouch.exe just in case and copy the content to windows folder
P.S. you will lose the left<->right sms<->mail but you can still do it with dpad.

I fully agree with you about wktask.
I dont use htc task manager (on my personal device). I only use wktask and I agree with you that it is amazing. Rather I have been using it for several months by now.
Secondly I dont use (on my personal device) the M2D. Instead I use combination of ultimateLaunch, rlToday and SPB Diary. Because my appointment diary is very heavy, being in Government.
Regarding remaining part of your post, I have never tried. but it sounds a very nice idea, worth trying..

Today Shortcuts (iLauncher type tools)?

Guys,
Do we have a CAB file for either iLauncher (http://www.sbsh.net/products/ilauncher/index.php?page=summary) full version or something similar that will allow us to create our own shortcuts on the today screen?
Control your Pocket PC using the all new iLauncher, packing together the most important set of utilities to better manage your Pocket PC!
iLauncher is an all-in-one application that brings the most powerful utilities that are missing from the Pocket PC operating system to your Pocket PC device in one package. These include: A tab-based launcher Today screen plugin with various information widgets such as battery and memory meters, speed dial shortcuts, screen capture utility and more; A task manager context menu that allows you to track and control the current active applications; A true 'X' button functionality that really shuts-down running applications as opposed to simply minimizing them; A safe-mode protection utility that makes sure your device will always initialize correctly and much more!

yes, wisbar advance desktop
its amazing, and does exactly what you want, also has the option to add meters such as battery or ram and other great stuff, including today plugins, except calendar. Can also be made to look like an iphone [like mine]. It has unlimited possibilities and you can do whatever you want with it. And the best bit, only 10 usd (5gbp) amazing i know! screenshots of mine if you really need them!

oh yeah, its a great plugin. Well worth the money.
Don't warez.
never seen this before, looks almost identical to spb pocket plus today screen
pff pocketage or WAD(or both)
Recomended
Use Claunch, very similar to iLaunch, only free. Sorry no link, just have to google it.
I have used Claunch for several months om WM5 and it was perfect, but after upgrading to WM6 i'm having some troubles with it. it for sure will not work together with HTC taskmanager 2. it would be very nice if they came up with a stable WM6 version
It is stable for me, now that I use WA3, it sometimes would not appear on my today screen without a refresh before I moved up to WA3, never liked the htc taskmanager much, there are so many taskmanagers, wisbar is the king in my book.

[APP][29-11-2008]Manila Control v1.0, get the control over your today

Hello friends, I present to you an application that many are expecting, "Manila Control" also known as M3D control or M2D Control.
It's a simple program that allows us to switch between 2D or 3D Manila and the "Today" of Windows. Allows you to set our screen "Today" with our favorite plugins and Manila also used simultaneously.
Installation:
- Copy the cab to the terminal and install
- Use within MC Config Start - Programs - MC
- Tap set menu choose your Manila 2D or 3D and whether those who want to start after reboot.
- To end tap menu - SoftReset
Description:
- The application allows the use of today's windows and 2D/3D Manila.
- To exchange desk, is from Left softkey, but it hardbutoon can assign a, a FTouchFlo and in some models a gesture of activation of the cube. (There's configure it manually).
- The application does not interpret gestures.
- Close to leave Manila for more available RAM (Right SoftKey).
- Manila You can start at boot or not.
- Eliminates Manila from the list of items today.
- Some entries may appear in Spanish if you do not use a ROM WEE.
- The application does not stay resident in memory so it does not consume RAM.
Is a free, but voluntary donations are welcome.
You can use to include it in your ROMs, only respects to the author.
Mirrors do not, if you want to write something on the application or on your Web forum, put a link to this thread on XDA-Developers.com or the corresponding HTCSpain.com, so users can always have easy access to changes and updates.
The application is not OpenSource therefore not permitted any change in any component or part of it without explicit authorization.
Download the file has been fattened to 5Mb just to get points den rapidshare, the cab is really just about 100kb. For users who have problems with Rapid, I create another smaller mirror, but if you can please use the download of 5MB as I provide Rapid points.
Thanks to my friends to do the tests: Franlov (Diamond and Omnia), Xuo (Polaris), JCespi2005 (Touch Pro) and I have tested in Niki, Elf and Prophet.

Some videos running on a Diamond, Touch Pro and Phophet.

The Spanish speakers are lucky that is already built into ROM in Spanish for Prophet, Niki, Elf / Elfin, Polaris and Touch Pro. And in the very near to Herald, Kaiser and Diamond.
TO DO (For next versions):
- Traslate error test to english.
- Add options to set activation mode.
- Add force show Modes.
- Add option for close manila mode, to reelase RAM (but will be slow)
- Release more RAM when close Manila3D.
- More traslations for othes.

This looks really neat! Cant wait to test it!
Looks great! Nice, easy integration of the classic Today screen with TF3D/2D.
I remember seeing a video of this program some time ago, and I've been waiting for it ever since. Can't wait!
yeah ! many thanks for developing this will definitely try it out
good to hear ... but for manipulating the home screen of m2d or m3d is existing ... and we'll be public in some days .... maybe tomorrow ..
what is this qvga tf3d?new version?
Very nice! Can't wait to check it out.
my FUZE will be thankful upon the release of this!

great software control; good luck for this first release
very good idea!
Hope it will be avable soon!
Excellent job Mastsogo
Hey man,
that is a really great idea!!!
Could you add a function, that it TF3D in QVGA is enabled, that there is a function like the auto standby in windows mobile.
Cause there is the standby issue with ported TF3D on some devices. I thought about something like this:
If TF3D enabled and no user action is recognized for time x
then disable tf3d and go to standby.
At wake up reenable TF3D.
That would be great and it would make TF3D on my kaiser ready for every day use
If you need someone for testing, just PM me.
i hop sleep mo d fixes and start menu problems w

Exactly! On Kaisers with TF3D when we hit the power button maybe that generates a Mortscript to switch to HTC Home then sleep, as the issue (I think) is with TF3D gaining focus of all windows.
Although I have heard also that this is not the case and its the OpenGL drivers themselves that does not allow the device to sleep.
Looks great.
Let's wait

Something to do before using X1

Dear all,
I finally get the X1 on hand. (I have waited it for 1 year). Expect charging the battery. Any Tweak, Program, Settings and others should be done on X1 first? Please advise. Thanks!
get the latest fw before you start installing stuff
xperia tweak (clifford)
spb panel will be in the fw
get yourself a registry editor (resco, SDK tools)
with regards to apps its down to choice and $$$, i dont think anyone uses all the apps from this forum, youtube is a good one though.
Read all the stickies! They will prepare you for the journey ahead.
also read the XDA-WIki entry for x1
Get the following apps if you can afford it or if you're smart and unscrupulous enough to find a keygen/crack:
-RESCO Explorer: Best file explorer incl. Registry Editor and FTP Support
-SPB PocketPlus: Neat tool for the home screen, unless you prefer to use SPB MobileShell
-Garmin Mobile XT or TomTom 7 (The latter is *ONLY* illegally available at this time): Onboard navigation software
-Panoramic Calc Pro: Best calculator
-Spb Wireless Monitor: To monitor your traffic
-Spb Insight: RSS feed reader, very good. You can use the built-in reader of SE panel, though.
-Spb Finance: Manage your accounts
-Spb Keyboard: Screenkeyboard so you don't always have to slide the phone open
-Inesoft Phone: Dialer/Contacts/Etc, more professional than the built-in
Notice you can fully try all Spb Software for 2 weeks to see if you like it.
The following are free:
-Advanced Config: Tweak everything
-Notepad 1.5: Notepad as on Windows, fast & useful
-G-Watch: Stopwatch (There is no default)
-SmsImport: Easily import & export text messages to/from XML file
-Startmenu.exe: Opens/Closes Startmenu. Needed to assign a softkey to open/close the startmenu which I think is the best thing you can do.
-HTC Touch HD Videoconverter: BEST video converter for X1i. USE THIS ONE, IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL PRODUCE GOOD RESULTS!
You may also want to install a couple of games.
Anyone know the sound issue? Has it been solve?
Dear all,
I know it may be a stupid question. But I have use it for 3 hrs for search. I have installed Resco Explorer. But I don't know how to find the Registry file. Please help. Thanks!

It should be in the Programs-Folder of the STartmenu. It's called "Resco Registry" You could also tap the Star in Resco Explorer in the top left corner and it should show you a list containing "My Registry". If that is not the case, you have no installed the addon. I think you're prompted for this during installation, I don't fully remember.
EDIT: Checked it out. With PC installer you should be prompted. CAB Installers are separate files. You can download them here: http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/downloads.asp

Plugin to work with PocketBreeze (and Manilla Control)

Hi there!
I have decided that I need something more business oriented for my diamond's today screen, so I am using Manilla control to work with pocket breeze (in order to get best of both worlds). Now what I need is a plugin which works well on my diamond, pocket breeze and manilla control and gives you time, missed calls and smss. I have tried to install the HTC Home plugin but i had to hard reset the phone ... since it did not want to get past startup! Thats why I decided to ask this time...
I m sure you have plenty of options and ideas ... maybe you could post a screenshot too of the application you propose...
Thanks,
Franklin
I'm in the same situation as you, I don't think you'll find a solution to directly integrate PB into TF3D. You'll have to change to another user interface that supports 3rd party plugins eg. Wisbar AD and a few others.
It's a shame HTC didn't include 3rd party plugin support in the new TF3D 2.
Yeah
Yesss... I know that you can't use both ... what I am asking is what plugin (3rd part) is compatible with manilla controller (used to switch between touchflo and today screen) and pocket breeze to add some phone info!
You mentioned on program there ..are there anyother ones worth mentioning? I wanted a HTC Home Plugin sort of effect (missed calls, sms and a clock)
Thanks for any replys.
Well for notifications, missed calls, SMS, Emails etc I use PhoneAlarm by PocketMAX, the latest version has many different types of skins etc and itself is a fairly powerful program.

And this is an alternative one:

....are you kidding?
That's one basic function of windows mobile, and if you ever need to look for an appointment in the past ("when did I see that person last in my office?"), or for a phone number in your contact ("who's this number who called me on the other phone?"), what are you going to use? That cannot be removed, absolutely
Anyway, I suggest removing also the "Azioni" tab with economical quotations.
Also in my opinion could be removed the following:
cleanram
bsbtweaks
htc flashlight
jblend
bubble breaker
internet explorer (is that possible? opera is better)
windows media (is that possible? coreplayer/tcpmp are better)
xdashutdown
All these applications could be reinstalled if you need; since everyone needs to install already a lot of cabs after every flash, these cabs can be easily added to the list. Also, installing these apps yourself, you can see them in the "remove applications" dialogue, so it's easier to update them
remove:
-streaming Media
-advtaskmg
-bsb
-pim bacup
-shake and save
-windows live
-internet explorer
-htc flash ligt
-Tab Azioni
-Footprint
BUT:don't remove tab document!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Only READER!!!!!!!!!!!!
ADD:
-New opera
-facebook tab
CHG:
-Xda shutdown skin

I almost agree with your remove list... but it makes no sense to leave document tab. That tab is already remove in simple "axlor lite", so it must be also removed in axlor Xlite...
Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace opera 9.7 with opera 10. If you keep opera 9.7 in the rom, and install also opera 10, there are at least 7MB wasted because you cannot remove opera 9.7 if it's cooked inside.
Or maybe, remove opera alltogether, so anyone can choose to install his favourite, and can remove it afterwards from "remove applications" if needed
Also, I used footprints once... maybe it's not that useless, but if there is a free alternative application that does the same thing and is not included in the manila, maybe is better, otherwise probably it's better to keep it
The concept of an XLite version is this: remove everything that is possible to remove, so you have the maximum possible free space. After that, you can install all the applications you need by yourself, but in that case you have those applications listed in "remove apps" and can more easily manage them.
Will you use default iconset in this XLite?

Totally agree with you: removing search function is MADNESS
Anyway, I suggest removing also the "Azioni" tab with economical quotations i agree... eventually Twitter tab also if is possibile.
cleanram totally agree
bsbtweaks totally agree
htc flashlight sometime useful, but if can be installed via cab is better to remove
jblend sometime useful, but if can be installed via cab is better to remove
bubble breaker totally agree
internet explorer (is that possible? opera is better i think IE cannot be removed, but integrate Opera 10 with flash builtin instead 9.7 can be a good option)
windows media but i think Media Player cannot be removed
xdashutdown almost essential
All these applications could be reinstalled if you need; since everyone needs to install already a lot of cabs after every flash, these cabs can be easily added to the list. Also, installing these apps yourself, you can see them in the "remove applications" dialogue, so it's easier to update them

I've inserted my opionions in quote (green: i agree - red disagree)
Imho it's a good idea to leave the Memory card format utility also.
Removing Office and Remote desktop is not a good idea for me
The best option is to remove only programs provided also via standard cab installer, making this the first "customized by users" rom, like a tailored tuxedo
removing also pim backup, shake and save,windows live it's a god idea.
It's better does not remove Facebook application if can breake the Manila facebook integration function. It's also better do not integrate Facebook Manila tab... better to wait netx more feature rich release: at this moment is a duplicate of Facebook contacts tab

Diciamo che andiamo molto d'accordo
I think too that the most things you can remove, the better, as long as you can install them with cabs.
XDAShutdown is one of those things, there's the cab for it... and believe me, I never use it I just have installed touchx powerbutton actionscreen and I reset from there.
Regarding office mobile... I think there's a cab for that as well, and if you can install just excel and word, then you can save space on powerpoint... maybe I even need just excel, as I never do text processing on the phone.
Also, adobe reader could be removed, probably there are smaller pdf readers around....
Regarding the tabs, if you can add them with mods without cooking them in... then let's remove them as well Especially "Azioni"
Probably it would be a good idea to also remove tom autoinstall (if it's installed and cooked in the internal memory). Anyone can add the program himself to install all the cabs; also, not everyone uses tom autoinstall, me for example, I use Sashimi, which is already installed on my sdcard
pls dont remove
please DONT remove flashlight and shutdown .. this is MUST!

Some people are just not suited for this version of the ROM.
If you want htc flashlight, xdashutdown, program X, Y and Z, then just download and flash Axlor Full or Axlor Lite.
Axlor XLite is, as the name says, Extra-lite, and contains the least possible number of applications, so if you want something, you install it yourself after flashing.
