[INTERFACE] PointUi Home 2 - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi,
Just thought I'd start a post to see what people think of this interface. Personally I love the stock TF3D for the diamond and have just added nocurtains and backgroundallpages to it and I cant wait to get the TF3D from Diamond2 onto my phone, but Im always trying out new interfaces to improve usability - I still hate going into windows mobile contacts, messaging, etc.
From testing it seems to have no bugs that I can recall so far (tested of HTC Diamond running Duttys latest version - btw, thanks to dutty: having been using your ROMs for a long time and have always been happy ). Overall customisation seems a lot easier than for TF3D and new 'applets' are being pumped out all the time. You can even 'flick' through all messages with a preview for all inboxs without getting into the windows mobile interface, although you have to enter it to read the full email or to reply/forward. Im sure that improvements will get rid of this in the future though.
Anyways Im adding it on here because Im sure some people will like it and you dont get developers better than those on XDA so maybe we can make it into something really usable?
The only things keeping me on TF3D at the moment are the lack of multiple cities in weather forcasting, lack of music playback from the home screen (no music app currently available) and perhaps a home screen applet that is a little fiddly.
Nevertheless the experience is very slick - no pauses or 'stuttering' in transitions. I will keep testing but let me know about your experiences .

Bug 01
First bug found - when you reply to an SMS it tries to reply via email. To reply via SMS you have to open the SMS and you can reply from there.

There are already several threads here on XDA about Home2.

I know there is also one in the Xperia forum...
Bug reporting is done in a thread over at the PointUI forums.
SMS works fine for me on Home2.

Looked interesting, but whenever I hit "home" on my diamond it went to a black, blank home screen. Also no built in media player applet yet. I usually listen to music for about 30-45 mins in the morning, and I don't want to fiddle with the classic media player.

I am aware that pointui development forums are everywhere right now, but thought it would be nice to see what diamond users think - i still think that after diamond2, the interface and usability of diamonds/touchpros is probably the best around for windows mobile.

Yea I know the lack of music is a bit annoying, but I think an applet for it is in development, and considering the throughput of these things at the moment I dont think it will be long before one is released .
Did you disable TF3D and enable Pointui from settings? Also is you TF3D the stock one or is it another one (e.g. Pro version)?

has anyone experienced crashes with it? it worked fine when I first installed on my diamond, now when I open, or soft reset and it loads, I get the RSS hub thing, but it stops spinning, and just crashes, and phone requires soft reset.

I know there´s people working on this using batterystatus. BUT
make a program that hides the wm taskbar, and you can put your custom one would be great.
This!!! lol
Auto update SIM contacts
My SIM card is an emergency backup if my phone becomes unusable. I would like an application that automatically adds new contacts and updates any changed contacts from the phone to the SIM card.

PIM Backup v2.8 .. i hope this help u
What would be great to have in a ppc:
1. a finger friendly RSS viewer in A_C style able to play videos, sounds and display html articles without link to a Pocket Internet Explorer page
2. a finger friendly internet explorer. NetFront is the best one i saw for ppc but a Safari "remake" (not Safari-like) would be great. I saw in my wife's iphone and i can say it's the BEST internet browser ever.
3. a "webmail" client, i don't know how to explain this. It's also an iphone idea. Somewhat like a RSS reader, with which you login in your mailbox without the "push" thing. And then it works like a "refresh" on a webpage.
4. a slideshow (for a picture browser just like A_C's S2V) with "really" nice transitions effects, for entertaining purposes
5. a calendar app just like ThumbCal but with all the views and fields available in WM Calendar with one more feature. The ability to share an appointment (via sms for example) with another WM user who got the same app (so eventually installing this calender it will add a feature to the sms software to "add the received event")
Maybe it's too much oh, and:
6. if there is a WM app to let my contacts with address become a POI for the famous navigation softwares (MioMap, Tomtom, Navigon, etc.) it would be great.

He wants the contacts copied from Outlook to the SIM card automatically. That is, he adds contacts to Outlook, then, without any effort on his part, on some regular schedule, the app should look in Outlook and find new contacts and copy them to the SIM card.
I don't see in the PIMBackup thread that it is capable of this.

Better Device Password App
This has been suggested before...most recently I saw it in the S2U2 thread....
What I need is a better device password app....or maybe just an app that lets us skin the default WinMo password function. I absolutely love S2U2, but there is really no "security" about it. Anyone can unlock my phone with no issues. I have also tried using both S2U2 and the default password function. Works, but not smooth by any means.
Someone suggested modifying S2U2 to be like the iPhone's unlock function (gasp!). For that, you slide first, then are prompted for a pin code. That would be the perfect, best of both worlds, app.
Back in the WM2003 days, there were several apps like this (e.g., NiceStart, 1-Pass), but nothing since. There is PocketSecure, which is a great app, by a good developer, but right now it does not meet my needs (notification issue).
Thoughts?

There is no topic (at least nothing anywhere near recent) for Pocket Secure...and A_C has announce that he is done with S2U2 development for a while....thus I put it here.
This could be a call for a new app....but you are the OP, so you control the Poll
Thank you for your reply Dr.Mazika. Can't install the Opera 9.5 beta from an old link found on XDA because it (probably) counted the days i used Opera 8 trial in the past. So 0 days left and i couldn't find any other link about it (they don't even sell it?).
About the software already on the stage, you are right i should ask features there, but i am thinking that with more features something like thumbcal will lose its purpose: "tap tap et voilà, you are busy tomorrow night", and it won't be like that if it becomes full of options and features (althought maybe the views are possible).
I have been looking for the message screen colours to be inverted. I love the black themes and it would be so much better to just have black screen with white message. Im sure this couldnt be so hard to do for someone with experience??? would it?​

i 2nd tat, but there should be some screen saver to superseed the default win password screen..just in case, somebody hardreset ur phone.
i would love to have a more comfortable Network-Tool,
maybe providing ping, ipconfig, telnet, (i know there's a nice putty version but it has no lan config tools) tracert, route tracert etc.^^
so i don't know if this is possible or if it has allready been realised, as you metioned just a suggestion..
P2U (Pass to unlock)

Update NEW Themes for I780 & i900 for "TodayLife"

Work discontinued due to Today Life Developer has stopped development on this project. Sory about the screen shots I accidentally removed them from imageshack.​
NEW i900 Omnia Theme. Monday Morning, all credit for this theme goes to the talented Bluemetalaxe you can visit his official thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414699
All I have done is convert this theme and some of the graphics to fit on the Samsung i900 Omnia. Please read the the Notes and instructions below before installing.
This is a Theme for Today Life Program for Omnia i900 Only
PLEASE READ THIS FIRST BEFORE DOWNLOADING!! --NOTE: This Theme is Only for I780
--------------
This is only a theme for the program TodayLife. The program is not completed and is still in development. Meaning there are tabs without any function, or some functionality may be disabled from time to time for testing and developing purposes. As the program is updated I will be updating this thread with information on the newly added functionality and options. This program does not require any 3rd party shell or programs.
Credit and Thanks goes to Dazzlingdaz for creating this wonderful program.
---------------
I will not waste time answering questions to the general operation of this program or problems related to the program itself. This is not productive for me or the developer of the program Dazzlingdazz to have to answer questions in multiple threads. So if you have program specific questions or problems or suggestions of options or functionality to be added please post them in the TodayLife thread found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2402534&postcount=1
-------------
FAQ ( Please Read)
Q. It crashes because of xxxxx
A. First try copying and running the files from system memory as some devices (HTC Touch) have issues resuming from standby with program running from the storage card. If the program still fails - edit the config.XML and select YES for errorreporting - then run the program - when it crashes post the errorreport text file here and I can try and help you.
Q. Why is there nothing on the calendar or music or blah blah page?
A. Because the app isnt finished yet - as clearly stated above! - more is being added
Q. What version of WM do I need?
A. 6.x - it does not work on WM5 or below
Q. How do I install it?
A. You dont! - simply copy all files to a folder on the device and run the EXE - that's it - no install - no uninstall - nothing changed on the device - no registry entries required.
Q. What is the default unlock sequence
A. 1 single guesture - ^ (you can change this on config.xml)
Q. Can I change stuff?
A. Yes - everything! - the landscape.xml and portrait.xml contain all the positions for the icons and layouts for the skin, while config.xml contains details about non-skin related options
Q. What Compact Framework do I need?
A. You need either 2.0 or better still 3.5 - unfortunately some custom rom cookers have not fully incorporated CF into their build and this may cause you problems - not just with my app but anything that uses CF. My only suggestion here is to try an updated (or different) base rom! - it works perfect with all the WWE builds with CF installed - so I know it's the rom
---------------------
Current Functionality of Highway theme:
Home tab is about 90% finished. There will be some modification in the future like: Tower when press to open comm manager or WiFi. When press signal meter it opens default comm window. When press sun it will open weather. When press clock will open alarm.
The contacts tab is currently empty but has been tested and will have a very smooth scrolling contact list.
The settings tab currently is only for program exit, future additions on this page.
The Big red power button is the Program launcher and is on all tabs. When you open the launcher just scroll and tap firmly in a straight up and down motion. To go back to the main screen gesture from right to left
Volume, still in development but to see how it works click on the speaker icon, then gesture up and down to change volume. Note Vibrate not functional yet. Gesture right to left to exit volume.
For email you may have to edit the Portrait.xml to define your email account. Mine is set to Hotmail. If you need help let me know.
Vmail indicator does not seem to be working. This is one reason for me to release this now as I need help testing on the I780. It seems to be working on other devices.
-----------------
Note: almost all the graphics except background and sun were created by hand, by me, and took a lot of time and effort. So if you use them please give some credit.
-----------------
The latest version of Today Life is included in the zip file. To install Download the zip file and extract it on your PC or directly to you main memory of you device like My documents. Then just click on Todaylife.exe
What can I say? I am speechless. This is a very nice theme, a refreshing change to the Diamond theme...
For future expansion, you can consider installing an ICU (in-car unit) that will call out the player (s2p, mortplayer, HTC AM, WMP, etc..)
Once this is completed, it will be an awesome theme!!
Keep up the good work.

x1 profiles ?

what are you guys using for switching profiles ?
i'm looking for a basic profiles app along thelines of ppcprofiles or phoneweaver.
unfortunately, i cannot seem to get phoneweaver to work at all - changing profiles says that the notification has changed but it never does.
is anyone else having this problem or should i blame it all on tf3d ?
thanks in advance
I always use the SPB movile shell and want more profiles too!
you could use spb phone suite. it works but imho it takes up too much place on the today screen.

Hi there all,
you could use the Touch HD\ HTC profile manager. It can be found under the Xperia Programs, Panels and tweaks section for the Xperia. I was also looking for the same thing a while back, and found that.
hope that helps!

Can you post a link please? I can't find it and neither can the search engine.
At the moment I use SPB Phone Suite and it integrates into the Mobile Shell panel, if you don't like it on your today screen.
Sorry, my mistake... first post! Link Contained.
Here is the link to the whole thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
the section your after is under Touch HD utils its called volume control
Regards
Winmowgster
I dont think we are talking about the same thing? ... the volume control is just a new skin for setting the volume right? .. I think with profiles we mean like they are used in nokia phones where depending on your selected profile u ve a different ringtone, volume, message tone etc. ?
cause I d find something like this really useful .. at the moment I cant even figure out how to change the tone of when I receive a text message.
Looking at the Original Poster's request, I suggested a solution, which I thought fits the bill pretty well.
If you want to switch between silent, ring and vibrate then this does the job.
having read the request again, and googling the programs that mrdo tried, i see that i may have made a mistake. :S
The SPB Phone Suite is awesome! Well worth the dosh! Have as many profiles as you want plus automatic time or event based profile switching.

thanks for your input. i do have the touchstone volume control installed and it's very handy but i am looking for something that will allow me to switch ringtones, alerts and volumes at the touch of a button.
after a hard reset and yet another reinstall of my apps, phoneweaver still doesn't work. grrr and double grrr.
mrdo, what is the problem specifically? Is there an error on the device or do you start the application but nothing of significance appears?
I briefly tried phoneweaver and had the latter problem. Couldnt figure out whether it was running or not.
In the end I ended up giving up and going for the Touch HD simple profile manager.
I don't find HTC profile manager in that thread, can u post the direct link?

Your Sprint Mogul must haves?

I am issuing a brand-newbie question warning to start with...Ok, I expect to see my Mogul in the mail sometime today. I bought one gently used online, and its set to arrive exactly as they come from Sprint, with wm6.0
So I've been reading around on modifications, upgrades, roms, etc...
My first really dumb question is:
1. What is a "radio" roms function? I see radio versions and releases all over the site, but don't quite understand what it is for.
Next I really just want to know what some personal experiences with the Mogul have made some software must haves for people.
At a glance I think I'll be doing the wm6.1 update so that tv and gps are enabled, and then I thought about installing the wisbar softwares. I kind of like the idea of things being larger so I don't have to use the Stylus as often. I even considered the iphone skins, but have been warned by others to beware that it will slow the machine down, and I don't want to turn it into a snail.
Any and all input for a rookie is appreciated.
-JR
by default the newest Sprint (ROM) - (updated OS, Drivers and Tweaks) has a larger theme for using just your finger.
I would say must haves are
Pim Backup -saves cotacts txt emails ect.
Samsung Omnia 3D driver for titan(Mogul) better 3D performance.
HTC Home-better on screen bigger on screen clock
Those are the 3 main thing.
Now for a Radio its how the cell phone connects with the tower but requires you r unlock your phone and voids the warrenty its now very simple but still scary.
Im bout to go back to work for 3hours and then ill b back to add more to this.
If you want I can get you a Download link for many programs. just e-mail me [email protected]

Thanks for explaining the radio rom simply. I am on sprint and the Mogul I got is a sprint phone. But its an eBay purchase so I don't have a warranty to worry about.
I'll shoot you an email for those links

HTC Streaming Media - something to watch youtube movies
HTC Home Plugin - home screen thats nice
Kaiser Comm Manager - easier to use comm manager
Opera 9.5 - better web browser
Oxios Memory - a program that will free memory up
SJ SamsumgOmnia Driver - better 3D drivers
mmmm.... lets see, I'd add:
Garmin xt (more map sets the better) HTC home 2.1, Enlarged start menu, NoData, HTC task manager, psShutXP, SPB Insight.
Some are free, some are not. I like to have a conversion app like converter ce on also for work.

Really? I wouldn't know. I haven't used a carrier rom in over a year. Maybe i should check em out... naw
Two apps which are must haves for me are S2U2 and S2P. Both can be found in the Development and Hacking forum.
Damn, mail came and the phone still isn't here. It must've been mailed parcel post.

Is that the slide to unlock?
SPB Mobile Shell
Phone Alarm
Mortplayer w/darkglass skin
Egress 4.1
Oxios
Pocket Informant
Opera mini
Opera 8.65 or 9.5 if you don't mind the keyboard bugs and out of memory warnings. Use mostly for downloading.
WKtask 1.0.2.4 - later versions don't allow you to easily terminate the phone app, freeing up 4-12 mb when needed.
Coreplayer if you don't mind paying, tcpmp if you do.

I haven't read this whole thread yet so please excuse me if someone's already answered.
7z is 7zip. Excellent format to zip files. Much better compression than standard zip.

Sorry to bother you, anyway i can get the file from rapidshare, it says that it's been downloaded 10 times and will not download anymore.
Thanks,

Screen tap sounds
Does anyone know how to change the screen tap sounds on the Mogul? I have Windows 6.1 and I am wanting the sounds from Windows 5. I like the sounds better. Is this in the registery?

7zip. Yes it's like zip, but "better" according to them, so go figure.
Use Ultimatezip to extract. At least that's what I use.
Cheers

Vito SMS chat
A great app for threaded SMS if you have a lot of ppl that your txting it's great to keep the conversation going without trying to think or find what the hell you sent them in the first place lol.

im running wm6.1 tho so maybe thats the diff

How can we get this ball rolling?

okay ive had a fair few htc devices, and im a fan of flashing custom roms etc.
i've just ordered an s740 as i think they look like lovely devices and have heard good reviews so far.
Now i've seen olipro's thread which went off topic..
so how shall we get the development ball rolling?
how about a collection to get olipro one of these devices
(going for about £180 - £230 on ebay)
and im sure if we all donate £5 - £10 (or more or less if need be) it wont take us long before we get some good custom roms etc
i know i can't be the only one out there thinking this!
Let me know what you guys think
comon guys
50 views and not one comment?
is everyone really that happy with their device???
Hi,
I only find 1 thing annoying. When the keypad is locked I am still able to use the keys for volume.
For the rest I think the device is pretty good.

I think it is pretty good as well but could still use a few tweaks. I would contribute to any of the following on an otherwise clean ROM...
OS
Windows Mobile 6.5 - Well this is an obvious update, especially if HTC never offers one.
Usability
Tx9 - Sometimes Tx9 is used and sometimes not in various applications on the ROM. Would be much better if it were one or the other.
Browser System Command Warning - Warning on dialing phone numbers from the browser seems unnecessary if the dialer is going to 'verify the number is correct' anyway.
Key backlighting - Frequently I get a reminder late at night and the phone is locked but the reminder doesn't turn on the key backlighting so I can see which option is which. Other applications are inconsistent as well.
Home start menu All Programs - I would prefer to have the option to not see 'all programs' there.
Home start menu scrolling - I don't like having to choose 'more' there. I would much prefer the scrolling through each panel of nine icons.
1,2,3,4 app - I suspect this is an HTC feature but I really dislike having one more UI to learn. When you flip the keybaord open it shouldn't prompt you with a 1 SMS, 2 email, 3 messenger and 4 exit menu even if it is for 5 seconds. Better to keep whatever menu you are in.
Features
Weather Panel - This seems like it should use the GPS and pick a city. Also, if you turn the phone off or in flight mode and turn it back on it should recheck the GPS and change the city or prompt to change the city.
Option to keep keyboard locked even if open - Well some of us have little kids and they figure out how to get the keyboard open pretty quickly
Codecs
I don't know what ships by default but some obvious codecs would be AAC, AC3 and any other standard codecs.
Additional Applications
Impromptu Meeting App - The automatic ring feature is great if you use exchange since your phone will go into vibrate mode in meetings. In fact you get kind of dependent on it handling that for you so if you go to the movies or dinner or an impromptu meeting you forget to switch to vibrate or afterward you forget to switch back. It would be nice to have an app to put a placeholder appointment on your calander for an hour or two (which would switch to vibrate) . Even better if it would remove the appointment afterward.
Shortcuts - It would be nice to create shortcuts to applications in something that shipped with the ROM.
Settings
Home Page - I know this can be changed in the registry but while someone is at it change the web homepage to igoogle or google mobile.
If I like something on Rose, it is boredom with her when setting/tweaking. Without any "exciting" seeking/trying/zilions of reflashings of ROMs.
And, to be honest, MOST of things on your list ARE included in basic settings and some others are easy to be changed by simple (permanent!) tweaks in registry. I'm lazy to collect here what's where, so just two examples:
Rose IN STANDARD supports not just AAC, but AAC+ and eAAC+ as well, others are H.263, H.264, MPEG-4...
Function of your lovely Impromptu Meeting App you can activate on standard Rose in seconds: just activate Auto in Profiles. OK, it does not vibrate (it switches into quiet mode), but it exactly switches automatically ringing behaviour based on calendar events IN STANDARD. And they're much more such things (avoiding Action Menu, keylock not deactivated by sliding of te keyboard)...
So instead of calling for extra ROM, which will do what's already there, my recommendation would be classic: Read the f..... manual first. And if anybody would see gimmicks like iGoogle on homescreen or GPS based weather as so exciting that it will deserve tens (if not hundreds) of working hours on extra ROM just for these - you'll be a lucky man.
IMHO, spending few hours with searching around for settings and these few tweaks would be much faster and time efficient...
we don't need HardSPL, SSPL would be fine. Perhaps we bribe Olipro
$10 each ? whats his price
I'm sure if one of you lent oli your rose for a bit he could work his magic and get the job done
fuk i am on board. can we have some info from olinex(olipro+cmonex) as to how much donations is needed to get this done! i am getting one but shocked as to the lack of dev activity here. come on guys support yourn device.........once we have some solid feedback from the olinex crew then we can get ball rolling! they would really need the device but it is so similar to the touch pro in form factor that HDSPL for touchpro might need slightly tweaking to work on s740
I think this forum is dead no one poast here no one wants to do something with this model..are you so happy with your phones as they are without any improvements?
Maybe if someone could give as a tutorial how to make an HSPL we could do it more fast and we could make the ball rolling can someone do this?i am would be glad to help and do something for this device cuz it`s too awsome :d

well, I guess if it's enough to buy a htc rose for testing it'd be good.
