I've seen a HTC-made animated launcher in another topic.
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329694 )
The prog can be downloaded at http://rapidshare.com/files/55485726/HTC_TOUCH.rar
Some forum mates have successfuly installed it, but the big problem is that the prog is in Chinese...
Would anyone try to make an English version of it?
Thanks in advance!
cheers,
English Would def. be nice this thing is pretty sweet and easy on the memory
Really nice application just tried it.
Works wonderfully, hope someone can make an english version.
not working for me (mda compact/wm2003)
Bumping this because it takes the least amount of mem. and is very fast please someone see if they can fiddle with it an get english working.
Just a little help from my friends?!... (Joe Coker)
cheers,
Doesn't work on my Touch. Says it's not signed or something like that (rough translation)
Well i like it very much and it is sort of working , but no english , looked in the app folders and the registry but i cannot recognize what to change so i removed it
Hopefully someone can translate it because i find it very usefull
Nice Launcher
Hello,
I was able to install it ion Hermes (WM6) and runs smoothly.
I dug into it and by trial/error I was able to delete/create new shortcuts for system setings.
For some obscure reason I was not able to assign any new applications.
Can anybody who owns a Chinese enabled device, try this and maybe help us understand the menu/options?
Thanks.

Hmm....that one is a Simplify Chinese Version....this one is Traditional Chinese Version.....
Anyway, it is more likely the same, just change the wordings in the xml file and you will get a working English version.

*additional info:
You might've noticed, there're 2 number delimited by comma in every shortcut. Eg. Bluetooth, the 2 numbers are "23,0". The first number is the id for Bluetooth, while the second number is the tab's id. If you open up the bluetooth setting, you will see 3 tabs: Mode, Devices, and COM Ports. 0 is for the first tab, 1 is for the second, and so on. So if you wish to open up Bluetooth and point straight to the Devices tab, just change it to "23,1".

tried to install to my Wizard, it just shows up with "Installation of HTC Touch.cab was unsuccessfull"
Anyway, thanks.
Just use the original cab to install the app, and copy this xml to \windows\.
I also tried to make a cab with just the replaced xml and kept failing.
BTW you cannot use "&" in the xml else the app fails, so you cannot launch the picture viewer now, you got to change it in start menu, or make a direct link to it.
ATM translating the exe but can't read Chinese, but succesfully translated some random text.

Should make some modifications in exe/dll files too. The application is trying to access \Windows\“开始”菜单\程序\ folder instead of \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
That should be changed to be able to use the full functionality of the program, and it is not in XML file, unfortunately
Cheers
A resource hacker is a no-go, if you want to change specific strings you can't run the app anymore.
I already figured out what's doing what and how I should translate it, but it's just no use.
dev's homepage?
http://www.studiokuma.com/wm/?section=s1
This is a partial translation, install the original cab, and replace the exe and xml from both this zip and the one I posted earlier.
Sometimes I had to come up with funny translations as the programe would else crash, thus cancel became no, custom icon just icon, and provider became net.
Other parts I couldn't get working in a right way so are still as they were.
Maybe someone else can translate it better.
Ok, yesterday I've played a little with the Social Network Engine and I've finally dioscovered how to get it to work...
Prerequisiste: have HTC album installed...pretty obiousvly. Then..
1) Install the cab extracted from the Blackstone (I've found it somewhere in this forum, can't remeber exactly where: sorry to the author)
2) Extract the SocialNetworkEngine archive and copy it into your SD. Then move all files into windows folder (using totalcommander, resco or similar). Theese files are part of the oem pack of the original app.
3) Extract the last one archive, that contains only the provxml file, and copy it into your SD. Then open Advanced Configuration Tool made by Shaps, select "Menu" then "Import provxml".
4) Softreset.
That's all guys.
PS: I've got no time to make a cab now, sorry again.
sorry for my dumb question, but what exactly is "the social network engine" ?

You can upload pictures to Facebook ex. And Videos to Youtube
Youtube and Facebook options for multimedia files
bye!
ah, thanks for the informations!
It doesn't seem to work here ... I followed your instructions to the letter but cannot login to facebook or youtube afterwards ..
Youtube says " You input the incorrect username or password " and
facebook says : " There was an error while attempting to login "
I'm using Dutty's V4 Rom
Am I to dumb or missing something ?
Garf
No...don't think you've missed something (just to ask: did you made a softreset?) because:
A) youtube should work even without my istructions, just installing the cab.
B) facebook should give you anotherone type of error (something like "connection attempt...")
Theese errors seems to be related to the user/password you've digited.
EDIT:
the facebook error is the same that I had befor import the provxml I've posted here. Did you do it and then softreset?
Found it !!!
This social Networking implemetation from HTC seems stoopid ....
Guess what the problem was ???????????
My passwords were too complex or too long !!!
I had a password in with 8 letters , Upper & Lower case , Numbers and Special Characters both for facebook and youtube .... Just changeing the password to something simpler made both work perfectly
*** AARGHHHHH ***
Now I just need to figure how complex I can make my passwords without breaking the social networking again !
Thanks
Claude
Ahahah...no comment!!!
Anyhow: happy that you solved.
Cheers.
Worked perfectly
Got this up and running perfectly doing your steps exactly on a Sprint Diamond running Juicy 3.9 ROM.
Thanks!
-Mike
works on pistonrippers rom.
cheers
brilliant app, love this many thanks
Chris
I'm glad to see that it works without any poroblem.
I'm really interested to know, discover, test...if this app can be used also with other services (not just with faceboo, youtube, ecc...) but also to upload photos to flickr, or songs to myspace in example. Dunno, but maybe it's just a base and it can be "expanded"...
doesn't work here on a german rom!?!
@Herr_Knigge:
I'm sorry, but I don't know cause I've got a WWE rom.
Maybe some files (that were extracted from an international rom) will cause some "compatibility" issues with a localized rom.
Can't help you a lot on this plane.
Sorry again.
i know this might sound daft, but is there any way to use a html doc to open the Album.exe ?
one of the guys posted the following in the dev and hacking section as a front for facebook mobile,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3080511#post3080511
i like the idea and have been playing around with it to make it more usable for me, then thought about trying to include a link to the album now it can be used to upload to facebook. ive included my edit to give you an idea of what im thinking but the code is beyond me
if anyone thinks this could work feel free
I'm not an HTML expert, anyhow I'm pretty sure that's not possible.
I think the only link to an external program (without that the browser ask you for a confirm) will be made with the command "mailto:" to send an email with you favourite desk app.
Moreover, if you use opera to open the page that you've posted above, the space needed on the bottom bar to create the new shortcut will be overdrwaned by the small menu button of the browser.
Anyhow, I found this "trick" very nice and I want to try it sometimes. So I've just correct a small line of the code to erase the useless (and very annoying) horizontal scrollbar. If you want to test it, just rename the file to fbook.html then copy it into the original folder and say "yes" to overwrite the old one.
Cheers.
im running the stock rom for sprints touch pro... will this still work for me?
Think so.
Don't imagine why it should not...
Regards.
Ok I followed your step to the letter and everything seemed to work great, no hiccups during install I was even able to login to facebook with no errors. I tried the other facebook program and could not get it to login so that was good (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3125204#post3125204).
On the top my little data transfer thing is going but its going and going and going, and no picture has been uploaded. How long do I have to wait for 1 picture? I have a feeling that this is not working right on the Sprint Touch Pro stock ROM.
Is there a way for me to view the uploader (did not see it in program files), also the album seems to be more responsive and easier to navigate, is it just my imagination? Last Some of the thumnails wont populate, I have to exit and then come back in and then they appear, is this a bug in this version of the album or always there>
I have a couple of problems with the contact list and the phone favorites portion of the Sense UI.
1) Are there any way to display First name then Last name in contact list? Everyone in my contacts have Last name then First name.
2) Also, if it's just a company name, when you add a contact to the "shortcuts" (the 3x3 boxes), it says "No Name". There must be a way to fix that.. right? I'd hate to go into all of my contacts that only have business names and fix it by putting the company name in the first name field. Especially considering that I'm syncing contacts with Google contacts and I would prefer to have each field be accurate.
3) Lastly, because most of my contacts do not have pictures, and the "shortcuts" will only display first name. I would for example have 5 Johns w/o any way of immediately knowing which John it is. Are there any workarounds for that?
If it's a configuration setting for some/all of these issues, could someone please point them out to me? I apologize in advance if it's a simple thing and I just couldn't find where the settings are.
Allied to the points just raised - I would like to change my favourite contacts to display surname, not just the first name. Is there a workaround to achieve this please?
Bump. Are we the only 2 people that see these as issues? Or have you guys figured out some workarounds?
Count me in...i am shouting about this from my touch pro 2 time ... i have put a shortcut to contacts in main tab, and set it to view them filtered by company name, it helps a little.
To get first name first =
Find a contact, edit the contact... scroll all the way down to the bottom, and push the "more" button. Change the second "name choice" - I cant remember what exactly its named in english. But is should be the choice of how to vies the contact. In this form you can choose first og last name.
I have'nt figured out how to do/if its possible to mass change this. I have onlyd found one by one solution
Hope it was helpfull

Company logo as the contact picture perhaps? I've done that myself, far better than a blank box anyway.
Similar thing with your collection of Johns.

I think what you're trying to say is change the 'File as' to First name, Last name.
Perhaps there's a registry hack to change the default behaviour of this field?
ContactFix
Search for ContactFix v1.3 & this will do what you're looking for. I use this & it works great on HD2.

Yes ! That is the name of the field for changing first or last name Thanks !
could you point to me where ContactFix v1.3 is? I found a posting by someone with 4 cabs here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=966683&postcount=3
However, installing it does nothing on my HD2. Can you tell me where the ContactFix v1.3 is? thanks!
Bump. Could someone point me to the location for the ContactFix program? I searched but couldn't come up with exactly v1.3 of the program. Anyone?
Thanks in advance for the assistance!

I'm sorry to dig up an old thread of my own, but I still have an issue un-resolved from the ContactFix solution. The ContactFix solution does provide the sorting fix. However, in the Sense UI's "shortcuts" for the People, I can still only have a first name.
So if you've got 5-6 Johns and you don't have a picture for them, then you are pretty much screwed - you can't really tell which is which unless you have memorized exactly where on the shortcut list you've placed them.
HTC, could you please fix this? I really don't understand how something as basic as this was missed in QA!

I believe the shortcuts are meant to be used with a photo. There's no room there to put labels with first and lastname. So unless you name them John1, John2 etc, I don't think there's a solution.
30 seconds in MS paint should give you an image with Faceless John's full name typed on it. It's a reasonable workaround for those shadowy figures with no visible appearance.
Not perfect, but it's something.
Further to the earlier raised issue of contacts defaulting to File As.. Last Name, First Name.
I have between 450 - 500 contacts in Outlook and sync'd to my HD2 via Exchange Server. Works well. Nearly all of the time my contacts are added/edited on my laptop and I love the fact they are automatically 'there' on my phone.
I also like the HTC front-end interface for the Contacts bit of Windows Mobile 6.5, making it easier (finger friendly) to add contacts. However this interface neither gives you the option to default to File As.. First Name, Last Name nor let you change it on entry/edit. Instead you have to then go into the native WM6.5 Contacts bit and change it there. A bit of a pain and oversight in my opinion.
Ideally there'd be a way to set a default? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance..
I'm sorry, but that's not a reasonable request from my point of view. The system should at least give you the option.
To be honest, I really think you've used to mediocre OS for too long. I did not just spend $800 so I can use MS Paint to paint a faceless John full name typed on it. If I spent $50, I might be okay with that, but not when I spend $800.

Actually, I have a question: Would a custom ROM for HD2 be able to fix this? I'm just asking about the possibility, not whether we can do it right now or not. I know that the phone is so new that we don't have custom ROMs yet.
But would it be possible for a custom cooked ROM alleviate issues like this?

But would it be possible for a custom cooked ROM alleviate issues like this?
this question has been asked before, i have searched as I know many will request me to do. The problem is there has been no solution yet, and possibly A) because not enough are away of it and B) because it hasn't been asked in the right way.
almost all the cooks, and devs have worked and manipulated 2.1 and 2.5 to their liking so i believe there has to be a way to fix this:
In manila 2.1, when facebook was logged in to, and the profile picture was updated with the FB pic, that picture was also updated to the WM directory and then would save to outlook. Most people brought this up when it stopped happening in 2.5 because of the dialer, but my reason is for the outlook part.
Now what I would like from the devs, if anyone can check, HOW 2.1 saved the pic (like what was the registry setting) compared to 2.5 causing the latter to not save to the WM contact directory itself. All i know now, is 2.5 saves it in a path of windows\fbcontacts.
I searched registry settings last night, left and right in hkcu and hklm, to software, htc, then manila to see how it handled "people" but no luck there as i don't know how to add values to make it do what I want.
Thank you in advance, and I hope we can come up with a solution.
P.S. I understand there are other "programs" namely booksync and outsync but if we can fix this it will completely eliminate the need of having to use our pc just to "try" to match it up with our phones (since with outsync you can't manually link profiles like our manila 2.5 fb can.)
I was searching many hours for a solution but could not find anything...
Maybe somebodies knowledge of the Registry is that good to show me a way how to get back the native Windows interface for the contact management (the one that is used when Sense is deactivated) without turning HTC sense 2.5 off?
Thanks in advance!

Try SSMaHo 0.0.4.0. With this, you will be able to hook the contacts function in Sense to WM instead of Sense. Does that make sense??
Sorry, shame on me, as a greenhorn in this forum I violated its well-founded hygiene and posted in the wrong place. Maybe an admin could delete this thread or move it to the right discussion. But at least let me say thanks to mitsi, your advice gave me the impulse to search further (I tried SSMaHo 0.0.4.0., but I don´t want to use such a "big" program to change just one simple thing that even can be done by typing some simple ascii code in the registry).
Finally ... (maybe someone else is interested in this) I found out that the desired contacts-interface can be accessed by "\Windows\poutlook.exe" with the argument "contacts". So, to acces the native windows mobile interface by touching the left softkey at the Homescreen, I just had to change the according entries in the registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA\HomeLSKPath -> poutlook.exe
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA\HomeLSKArguments -> contacts
Thats it for now
