Hi,
I am interested in a Phone panel... yes indeed a panel, displaying a dialer / contact scroller (finger friendly) only . I find it sometimes, irritating when the dialer is not showning up or is blocked by a popup message . Anyone got advise on this? I hope they will improve it with winmo 6.5 or 7.
BTW, best wishes to all.
I know its not quite what you are asking for, but have you had a look at Inesoft Phone 4 ?
Its a much better dialer than stock Xperia.
Its a buyer , though.

Hey thanks, for the suggestion. I am wondering, will Inesoft Phone 4, handle the incoming phone calls? (so no more tiny message popups, and putting the dialer in the background, to be honest, I lose several seconds just to switch)
I am not sure how Inesoft Phone 4, is implemented.. but if it replaces the original dialer completely. And not hogging too much resources (and battery life) away, I will consider buying it.
Seeing, manilla panel, youtube panel.. I see not reason why this application cannot be transformed into a panel aswell.
i agree the inesoft application is must have. its today plugin has changed my impression about wm phone.
May I ask this question again about Inesoft phone 4 :
Can Inesoft phone 4 and spb mobile shell work together ? Some people said they cannot.
i have both installed on my xperia. it can not be shown on now screen of mobile shell, but from menu it can be accessed.

Hi dhiru,
Thanks for your info.
Do you use spb mobile shell to make your screen like these (as shown in your attachments)? or other program? they look nice.
its regular today screen with following plugin-
rltoday, spb plus,galarm, spb phone suite and inesoft phone

why do you install both spb phone suite and inesoft phone ?
i did not like the profiles in inesoft. spb phone suite is used for profiles only
Your today screen looks nice. I would like to play with the inesoft phone, but i needed to send back my phone due to bad battery life and paint/piece coming off
Inesoft is by far the best add-on for Windows Mobile... i have been using it for a while now and it has been running without problems and faster than ever.
Check out some screenshots that i posted here: http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2008/12/xperia-screenshots.html
Hmm i am wondering, is anyone willing to integrate (Touch HD dialer) into a Panel?
I am unfamilliar with studio's, maybe it's my chance to get into developing stuffs on win mo
2 days now since i returned my x1

Hi there!
I was wondering on which are the best apps to customizate our Cruises...
Does anybody know the best of them that don't slow down the system (as iFonz)???
If you can provide names and pictures...
Thanks!

iFonz not customize Polaris, him disfigured it.
For tuning used Advanced Config Tools by Schap.
OK, that's true. I specify a bit more: apps to visually customizate Cruise (or Windows Mobile 6)...
S2U2 for blocking the keyboard and the screen like the iphone

WisBar, PhoneAlarm, Spb Mobile Shell and many others stuff with skins.
But, when I tried it all, I return to HTC Home and Ultimatelaunch. The best things for my Orbit2 (Polaris).

I tried WisBar. It's Ok, but I finally uninstalled it...
SPB Mobile, pretty good one, but it could be better if it fully replace the Today screen, not being an application to launch. I uninstalled it as well.
PhoneAlarm... I haven't tried it.
S2U2 it's OK too. I still have it.
I think I'm gonna do as you, Henry Lee: returning to HTC Home. I think it's one of the best with the most common functions and very light.
Thanks everybody! If you know about more applications... keep posting!
was reading an article over at coolsmartphone.com - http://coolsmartphone.com/news4008.html
The U.I looks really cool and was wondering if there was a way to get it for the Touch Dual? Cheers!
I believe that's a question for the Development board, not this one. I think I've seen something about that there ..
looks nice, shame it still links to the CRAPPY looking windows mobile apps, i wish someone would completely revamp the entire shell of windows mobile

Yeah! I also really long for something that would replace the ugly-ass WM apps, such as SMS/Email, Calendar, etc.. So if anyone find anything, please let me know
I had this working on my mine, but shifted to UL which is pretty awesome
same here ultimate launcher is brilliant. ive installed vito sms-chat and vito fun contacts too so its rare i see the hideous wm shell now

vito sms chat, how is it for you? I liked it but it created a new SMSfolder which I didnt like and SMS notifications wouldnt work anymore. On vito Quick contact, can you still pop out the software touch keypad? I mean I know we have the hardware slide out keypad but sometimes I like just using the touch screen.
sms-chat is fantastic. although you dont recieve the normal text alerts you should still hear your sms tone and a little semi-transparent window pops up in the centre of the screen with the sms info. In my opinion it is a lot better than the normal wm sms and even better still than the threaded sms in wm6.1.
Fun contacts works in such a way that you dont need to use the keyboard unless you are editing contact info and ive just confirmed for you that you can use the software keyboard as well as the hardware keyboard for this.
hope this clears things up for you
Will try to give vito SMS chat another trial. Thanks!
Try lord smiff threaded sms. I love it.
Hi folks,
Is there a way to have exactly this bar permanently on today screen? The pic was taken from an Ifonz screenshot.
I have a Gsmart VGA WM6.0 pro.
I tried Wisbar and other stuff but no way..too heavy and not user friendly at all. The best would be a kinda tsk file or whatever... any help?
Thanx for the great forum..Bye.
The only way to have it permanently there is to use PointUI which has the top bar. Its not quite like the iphone bar, but it has what you need and acts as a task switcher as well as a way to get back to the pointui home screen.
I have asked the developer of the today life program (xml config tool with themes) he is making if he was planning on making a permanent top bar. But he didn't seem to care... such a shame too since it is useful.
Wisbar is the easiest way.
You won't get that without additional software.
Are you sure that PointUi is VGA compatible? I tried it before but it didn't work.
Which version? I believe the latest one is (it may be a seperate cab).

Well, they did a test version in the old 1.02 version. I don't think they ever did anything for their new 1.5 version in vga.
http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=862&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
There are some other vga programs listed in that thread that may interest you.
- problem is that this tasbar is much smaler than the original wm6-one.
- also the icons, text, everything is completly different. windows can´t handle this.
- so the only way to get exactly this taskbar is a net application that runnes over windows mobile.
- why should the programmer of todaylife make a new taskbar when he created a complete Gui thats above windows mobile ? funny !
- if you look at my thread (bluephone) you find a todaylife skin with a original iphone taskbar.
I will try PointUi 1.02 alpha and post feedback.
Thanx guys.

Why? He created a complete gui thats above WM, great! But it loses its functionality the moment you open a program and it goes back to the WM interface, top taskbar. I thought it was supposed to be "above" WM? How do you get back to the today life screen?
You even created a skin for today life and I tried it. Sadly, it doesn't feel like a gui replacement for WM when the taskbar changes to the ugly, non functional WM bar.
I don't know anything about programming. But there must be a way to keep that bar at the top. *sigh*
all apps are programmed for the big wm taskbar, even if someone could manage to let a new small iphone tasbar stay on top and hide the original bar, you would have a ugly free space between taskbar and any application. So you want nothing more than programm every available software for windows mobile new
so i can tell you just this two words: Not possible ! believe it or not.

Wisbar. It's pretty easy to make a skin like that, and it's not as heavy as you mention. Give it a second try!

PointUi alpha 1.02:
seems quite fine and fluid on my Gsmart WM6. I only hope it will be developped for VGA devices.
Wisbar:
I'm still not satisfied with Wisbar 3. It eats my ram and freezes the ppc. Not worth keeping it installed.
I'll keep the original WM interface as it is. Only some spb plugins will be kept in wait of some new advice or suggestion from the forum.
Thanx guys for all the enriching posts.
Ciao ciao.

It 'eats' about 300K on my device. I don't find that very much. Many plugins are more hungry.
as Syd159 said. It does not eat too much and I never had freez caused by Wisbar. It is normal app in combination with Ultimate launch (or SBP Pocket plus) you got total "new phone"

yes wisbar do consume lot of RAM and slow down my phone so I did't use it anymore
Imho I think that a today plugin like Gsmart glass can be worth trying. I like the gui and it belongs to Gigabyte (like my device ).
Have you guys tried it? If so is it that good?
can someone please help me! im trying to find a tiny today plugin that shows u ur GSM carrier name/logo ...mine is ROGERS ...just so i know that i have my GSM activated on my today screen!
builtin 'wireless' today item takes up too much space ,plus it displays wifi and bluetooth icons which i don't have a need for
cheers
for example in this pic, where it says Phone Off, i wud b nice if had a rogers logo or some type of Green icon so i know my gsm carrier is ONLINE

I'd suggest something like BatteryStatus (although it has a new name which I have forgotten!) with a skin with just GSM Status.
Also, whilst it's good not having another thread, you're more likely to get an answer in the Questions and Answers sticky.
any developement in this taskbar?
Hi all,
Thought I'd share this with all the X1 fans!
Firstly I am not affiliated to Inesoft in any way.
I tested Inesoft software for the Xperia X1:
http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=phone.html
Works beautifully on landscape and portrait. Also replace the "Phone" software. I've been looking for a great Phone app for years, and I must admit that this is really brilliant!
Try it out!
Kind regards,

Definitely is... i have been using since a while now and performance is superb!
+1 for the Inesoft Phone 4 It's fantastic, worth the money!
I tried different full screen caller id softwares for the X1 like Photocontacts, S2U2, etc but Inesoft is the fastest and feature richest so far. Ringtone sound level is fluctuating but I think this will be fixed in the future (or is this not Inesoft's fault?).
What is Inesoft Phone doing better than Photocontacts? Whats the caller ID photoresolution for Inesoft Phone?
Haven't tried Photocontacts, so can't say about that... but Inesoft is better than anything else that i have tried. Most of them are too slow or buggy to use while others don't look good or have little to offer.
Looking at the screenshots of Photocontacts... i have to say that Inesoft is a winner of it as well - by looks alone.

Nope... no problems at my end. What version are you using? the latest release (4.4) resolves a couple of bugs/issues with the software.

Photocontacts is mostly for caller id and imho with a very standard and poor interface. Inesoft's GUI is a lot nicer (support real skins too) and it can handle (edit) contacts, has favorites view, nice dialer with customizable T9 search (v4.4) that searches in all name field of the contact details, nice call history with sms preview, phone profiles, customizable ringtones per contact or category and so on. Read the features on their page and try it
After reading some of these recommendations I think I will try Inesoft, but I gather its not free.
The best of the free iv come across so far is PocketCM 0.27 with the Modiefied Black Diamond II skin, which was modified for the Touch HD, fanstatic smooth scroll, fits in well with Touch 3D.

Most of this photo contacts does too. If it has high resolution caller photos it would try it though..
Some people said Inesoft phone cannot work together with spb mobile shell.
Is it true ? has anyone installed both softwares in X1?
hey i downloaded the trial for inesoft and i have a few questions for you full version people.
When i hit the call button the inesoft dialpad appears with my last call. i start dialing and when i actually hit the call button to make the call the default windows dialpad replaces the inesoft one. is that how the full version is?
Also, when i hit the call button to check voicemail the inesoft dialpad shows up as expected, but as i press and hold 1 there is no further action. how do you guys check your voicemail with the inesoft full version?

Yes that's how it's supposed to be. Inesoft are supposed to be adding there own dialpad in the next release. The problem they are having at the moment (so they say on their forum) is the 3G video calls. So we'll have to wait and see...
Not sure about the voicemail issue, not had a voicemail since I had it installed to try!
Inesoft with Spb Shell
I know someone asked before whether the Inesoft Contacts buggers up Spb Shell... I can say that it does from experience... I did like the Inesoft setup but it only worked once i had called using the spb shell... then it just stayed after i had finished....
does anyone know of a work around for this? or is there a better software round that will work with spb shell ... the contacts there is good just the caller id is rubbish (as its the standard one for X1)
thanks...
Finger Friendly Friend
I personally prefer FFF. Fastest way to find yr contact.
Hi Guys,
I tried to install SPB Mobile Shell 3 (3.0.0 build 6363), but it failed
Anyone tried it yet, or got an other version to work.

And it looks cool and I really want it. Cause I don't like Touch Flow Manilla.
Hi
In my Phone is working just fine
It's a really good software, I'm waiting for the final release to buy it.
I have it and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
Since I don't know how to flash to the HARDCPL, I figured this is the best way to make the phone look nice
Hi,
I think the commercial version of SPB Mobile shell 3 is available from today (21st April).
I just have a question for the SPB Mobile shell users (any version) -
After installing this, do we have the option to switch back to the original HTC touchflo screen (Manila 2D)? Not just by uninstalling mobile shell, but an option in the home screen selector settings to switch back and forth between touchflo and mobile shell?
I have SPM Mobile Shell 3 and it rocks!
Dunno if switching from TF2D to MS3, and vice versa, is possible.. I didn't bother testing....

prob is that touchflow replaces the lower left softkey to camera, but of course you can add the spb shell to the start menü and switch fast.
I have installed spb ms 3 in my xperia and I can say,is really nice,I love it, touch flows and other iphone similars you can´t compare with this,is the best!!!

Great stuff
I'm using version 3 for a week now and I love it!
I think it's the best Shell for Windows Mobile, don't you?
What if Microsoft let SPB write the entire winMo UI?
You know, things like the settings dialogs, the annoying messageboxes, that kind of stuff.
This way we can all enjoy a finger friendly UI and also - great performance.
(this is why I think it's better than the TouchFlo by the way)
some one please create a megaupload link
please can´t download to slow .... error
many thanks

Oh sorry... I've already flashed my Jade with a lite ROM... No more TF2D!
Anyway, SPB MS3 is officially out! Check out SPB's website...
Love SPB Mobile Shell 3
I have installed it on my HTC Touch Pro and I LOVE IT!!! I was able to get it for free since I had just purchased the last version less than 90 days ago and I actually prefer it over TF3D and I am definitely loving the Lifestyle layouts and the way you can slide between the 3 panels. So to me it is a keeper. I think they did an execellent job
The trial is working great for me. I already had version 2, but it had bugs on my Jade so I didn't use it. I will test 3 for a couple of days and assuming it doesn't do anything silly I will definitely be buying it, it blows Touchflo out of the water.
