Hey!
I have now installed cLauncher and find it extremely useful, however, one small problem.
When i go to the options section some of the options are not visible, there seems to be an overlay from something else blcking the tabs across the top which means i cant access them.
Anyone seen this before? Under settings it seems that the 'about' information is showing across the screen blocking the tabs, very strange.
If anyone has the cab for a program that will enable to show you screenshots then i can do that.
Im using tdlaunch at the mo but cLauncher looks alot better.
Any help would be apprecitated. I have searched and there is plenty of guides and help sections for cLauncher but none of them explain about this issue.

Idea - If you use the vga fix avaliable from the sticky threads, it should show claunch as per normal, its just a screen resolution issue. I also used to use claunch on my old XDA, very good free alternative to Pocket Plus 4.

Sounded like a logical fix to my problem, however, ran WVGA Fix3, then installed Claunch, again got the same problem though!! Any other ideas? Grrrr
After installing wVGA fix, did you run the WVGA fix prior to running claunch ?

Which res is going to be best for c launch?
Iv just tried it as well, the menu options are still obscured, I dont think it can be used on the X1. Have you tried tlaunch, do a google search, this was the original tab launcher for Pocket PC ?

Yeh mate, using tlaunch now, its ok and does what i need although i cant seem to change the icon size, it doesnt matter what value i put in it still keeps the icon the same size.
I guess ill soldier on with the smal icons then...
I guess im right in saying that i cant change the Icon size in TdLaunch?

Ok, I have an obsession to get a VGA resolution web browser right now on my MDA PRO. The only thing I came up is using an MS developer tool called res2exe and using with existing Internet explorer or Opera. I have seen a post where the user has I guess recompiled the opera broweser with res2exe, however to do this you need Visual studio.net and the Windows mobile SDK.
would anyone be able to give me a hand on how to do this in plain english? Alternatively would anyone be able to post the recompiled exe ?
I dont think I can rest until I get a VGA browser !
Cmon guys this must be on the top of everyones list?
p.s the best thing MDA owners can do is flash with the IMATE ROM, the T Mobile ROM is the biggest pile of cack and the UI customisation is awful.

I hope so... I'm dying to get one working myself. They just recently released a new version of Minimo and it has full VGA support, but it's painfully slow on my Jasjar... looks beautiful, though.
I spent some time trying to get Pocket IE to run in VGA mode, but the problem is that it technically *does* run in VGA mode... the fonts and larger graphics are displayed in VGA. For some completely stupid reason though, it quadruples the size of smaller graphics... this prevents web sites from displaying properly and keeps us from getting as much as we want on the screen at once.
The Opera for smartphones that some people have gotten working doesn't interest me at all because it doesn't support the touchscreen. I'd rather browse in non-vga mode than loose the touchscreen.
Right now, most of the time I just deal with Pocket IE as is. If I need to do a lot of browsing I'll use the registry hack to enable VGA mode on my Jasjar and use Pocket IE that way... which does support VGA mode the way it should. Unfortunately it requires a soft reset to get into VGA mode and a soft reset to get out of it, plus there are problems with a lot of other programs when the device is in VGA mode, so it's not a pretty solution.

Couldn't agree more - I was stunned when browsing didn't feel any better than my XDA, and it took a bit of time to understand what was going on. I really don't understand why Opera is not doing an WM5 version. I've got my money ready to pay the SECOND someone comes up with a VGA browser for us.
which vga hack?
Brett, I agree with your comments. Can someone point me in the right direction of the jasjar VGA hack ? these seems to be a number of them.
I am sure this has been covered, but the annoying size of the friggin soft buttons bar/menu bar at the bottom of the screen is such a waste of our new found screen real estate. the bar could be smaller. or at least should be able to hide. ......this is not a fair comprmise between screen estate and menu navigation.

Any of the ones for WM2003 (SEVGA, OZVGA, or simply editing the registry) work to get the Jasjar into VGA mode. The problem is that as of right now, no one has figured how to get WM5 to display icons correctly in VGA mode. You lose all of the symbols at the top of the screen that show signal strength and connection status and such, and the icons displayed on the today screen and in Programs don't actually apply to the programs that they're associated with. Some programs (such as contacts and calculator) simply refuse to run in VGA mode, so it's not something that works as a full time solution. However, Pocket IE does run in VGA mode, and when it's in VGA mode it doesn't do any of the horrible image stretching that it does in 'normal' mode. That's why I go back and forth ocassionally. There's another thread here that was started by Rilot that talks about this a bit more.

I would love anyone who could figure out how to shrink those buttons... that's something that's also been bothering me.

WisbarAdvanceDesktop kills the buttons.
Thanks for the Rilot link - I'll track it down now. I tried ozVGA and my screen wouldn't respond to any taps.

I have installed Magic Button 2.0 build 51023 on my HTC Wizard with WM5 AKU2.2. I really like the size of MB, but I have one question. The "OK" and "X" buttons are round like WM2003. I would like to use the square buttons that are standard on WM5. Does anyone know how to do this. I would guess that Wisbar and all the variants would have the same problem, but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated.
I tried Magic Button on my Wizard and didn't like it.
I'm now using InClose
http://insoftwarehouse.com/downloads/index.php?l=en
I find it much better...it's free...and it's got a square icon!
Thanks ianmann. I haven't tried InClose. The soft reset feature is a nice bonus. I will try it out.
I just noticed, the cab file is over 800KB in size :shock: . That is almost 10 times the size of MB. I like the task manager to be in ROM for responsiveness. Thanks for the advice, but I think I will stick with MB. Does anyone know of a way to change the close and ok icons to the original square icons?
thanks for the app
Try wClose 1.1
There is an app wClose that is 8.5k :shock: in size, you should try-it.

I've tried both. Magic button, as said, doesn't seems to fit the WM5 theme well. As for InClose, my unit seems to have problem with it that, my Picture and Video aren't working properly (no thumbnail) after it has been install. You might want to double check yours.

RuiMg - wClose is EXACTLY what I was looking for. All I needed was something small that closed instead of minimized. I never would have found it since I am an American and thus foreign language-challenged :wink: . Thanks a bunch. Now if I could just get the really thin battery meter that went across the top that was part of MB, I would be set. I think I saw it in a forum here.
Mmm I'm going to give Wclose a try as well. Although I do like the way you can set exclusions on InClose so some applicatiions...like contacts and dialer..open faster. And on my device InClose takes less than 170k.
I'll suggest a battery meter....Batti...seems accurate and easy to see
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/
Edit: And you're right...my Pictures and Video didn't work either...so InClose is out the window.
I tried right now wClose as suggested, and works great... very small and you can't notice it. Thanks for the suggestion.
This is an app that puts widgets like the Omnia on the today screen. The only issue is that it doesn't support VGA yet (hence the reason for the post). I used SecondToday to get another today screen, loaded FEWidgets, and mapped the top volume key to go back and forth between TF3D and the today screen with FEWidgets. It worked liked a charm, with no lag or hesitation. The widgets worked fine by controlling comm devices like bluetooth and WIFI. The only thing you may have to change is the wallpaper in the programs folder in order to get VGA (480x640) wallpaper to cover the whole screen (once you get them in the folder there is actually a widget you can change them with). FEWidget does use the entire screen, so other today screen plugins can not be used. The only problem is the widgets are small (QVGA), and looking to you guys to find a solution. I haven't had a chance to look at the files, but I will to see if the widget icons can be manipulated. It is damn cool though. A simple button press takes you to another screen with widgets!!!!! The Diamond engine handles it so well, it should have been intergrated. Here is the link to the thread, and all credit goes to nicodega for an awsome app.

ok so I can not find this mod mentioned in the thread you posted, nor can I find it via search which more or less leaves me no chance as to ask you again in the wrong thread if you could point me to the mod or the file to get those icons changed.
Thank you in advance and sorry, I do know its the wrong thread. As it should be a simple question to answer though I would highly appreciate a hint

Just tried it out.. And it is really nice! However.. It is pretty laggy..
Have a look at this vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doOLS2oPTGY
How have they made it so fast and smooth? And there is more widgets there.. Maybe the got a newer version ?
Oh and maybe i have gotten this wrong, but as i have understood this, you guys have takin this today plugin out of the omnia right?

well thats str8 up on the omnia... we are dealing with porting it do a different resolution... i'm not too sure why else it may be lagging but i'm sure it will be smoothed out in the coming releases.
One thing i really like is the screen rotation of the omnia in that video... is that impossible to get for our diamonds?

Does anyone know how to assign specific buttons to toggle this in SecondToday? All I see is right and left softkey and neither of them seem to work anyway. Ideally I'd like the Home key to toggle between TF3D and FEWidgets.
Secondly, if I run the FEWidgets alone I can move them around etc. but if it's loaded through SecondToday I cannot, is there a way to fix this?
It seems this has now been officially released. The build is 6411. I tried but I can't find any differences between this and the leaked build.....but then again it was working fine for me with no issues.
Has anyone else seen any improvements?
You can get the trial from here:

the only differences i have found is that the x button now works without it freezing the handset and that its a bit quicker and smoother. but have not found anything else which is a shame as i was expecting more from the offical release compared to the beta (what now seems like a near final release with one or 2 bugs to iron out).
I will try the new version and hope it will fix my Facebook via Wifi and X Button freeze bug. But like I understood Ganondolf the x button works fine what is absolutely an improvement.

mine fires up when i hit the today screen panel. kind of convenient for me.
ok so my first imptrssion: its awesome! has the look of cupcake (sorta) cool widgets and super slick interface.. glad the panel button wrks again
did have a few probles with the shell, seemed rather slugish if u wanted to switch back to today or exit the shell and restart it, seemed to take a while. also... anyone else notice if u added any widget regaurding the camera it did nothing.. wouldnt open at all im using R3a camera tho.... couldnt change icons at all... which is rather annoying considering the features pocket plus 4 gives u for adding/changing icons and their names..... i uninstalled due to the speed of the shell and the inconvience of the icons and widgets ..... i hope they make sum tweaks .... such a beautiful shelll. and very finger friendly
ok. P.S. and... does anyone know if you can add today plugins like widgets? this would be awesome too add google search as a widget... couldn't figure out how... thus why i reverted back to just plain old pocket plus...
just a few tweaks and it'd be perfect!!!!
yea...tried it for about a day, and i think i am going to uninstall it now. It amazed me at first, but i think the old combination of pocket plus and today plugin already does the job for me anyway...
the facebook integration here feels pretty useless too....
i have a small problem with this one.
Since i have installed spb3 , when i make a call, it automatically opens tomtom.
It is very annoying.
Anybody got the same problem?
And how did you fix it?
Thanks.
It seems that I can't add any programs of my own choice in the predetermined categories of the launcher (Internet, Tools, etc.) or add my own category. Or am I missing something? This is what made Mobile Sheel 2.x interesting and customizable. If this option really is gone I think it's a weird choice.

All these changes can still be made. Adding/Deleting from the default menus needs a registry key added per folder. Subfolders can only be created in the registry at the moment. I don't really use this much but I imagine (so I don't know for sure!) that the GUI will have this functionality added in future releases.

Can anyone advise me here. Im getting this error whenever i try to use the HDWallS program to apply a wallpaper...
"An error occured during installation: -2147024891"
But if I install the wallpaper cab directly then it works fine. Someone else in the actual HDWall Wallpaper archive thread (yeh i did search! ) said that its to do with the profile you select in the TouchFLO configuration of HDWall. But if the cab works directly is that right?
Id love to use this app as the wallpapers i have put on look sweet as. Not sure if any of these are conflicting it but i have installed...
- Co0kie HQWallpaperPatch (HQWallpaperPatch_v1.15_forManila2.1.cab) - because its linked in the HDWallS app as a needed patch.
- Tore Lervik Stock Homescreen AllBg HD (Stock Homescreen AllBg HD - Tore edition.cab) - because i wanted to show more calendar appointments on my home screen.
- Spikes MicNeo Taskbar Varient 3 v2 (Spike's__MicNeo_TaskBar_Varient_3_v2.cab) - because the standard taskbar is crap!
- MobileMatt Crystal Clock White (MobileMatt_CrystalClockWhite.cab) - To give it a see through effect.
- At0mAng Custom Slider Icons (At0mAng Custom Slider Icons.cab) - to replace the bottom icon set.
Got other stuff on of course but nothing else touches the looks or homescreen.
Any help really appreciated! Please help!

My apps were mentioned in my post. I only put down the ones which i thought were related. So things like task manager apps or sensor things i didnt think were important.
