We still have to wait a bit more for the Pro version though.
Thoughts?

bell ui works fine on my xperia. i think its the same as pro not sure though
try it it has more features than this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3013840#post3013840
Also runs as a panel. Seems to be pretty good so far (2 mins worth of play).
Thanks i'll check it out.
It's really fast and smooth. Seems like an exceptionally well thought-out UI, good solutions. One of the better I have seen for WinMo. I'd say I'll get the Pro version as soon as it is released!
point UI is an example on how software should be written. its small, fast, very optimized and highly functional. sony should have hierd these guys to write their joke (panels)
seems to have a lot of potental but what i noticed so far:
-the arabic text does not work on this (works fine everywhare else)
-there is a lot of wasted spaces on the wvga version
-some parts are not finger friendly
-looks a little too plane. tf3d looks better
-not enough customization
-email and SMSs should show more text with all the free spaces unused
I expected more from the program.
I don't like it. Don't ask me why. Just doesn't feel right...
Any way to disable the RSS feed on the home page of the UI?
Here's how to add your own city:
http://community.pointui.com/topic/cities-and-wheather
fatso485, I think the wasted space is there because they have no separate version for WVGA which utilizes the extra space - they just use the VGA code and unfortunately ignore to take advantage of the additional pixels. Perhaps in the final release? And there's applets and themes, I think they might change that
Russian language does not work at all.
they've done too much hipe...
useless panel, as said, too much wasted space and the info is not really accesible easily.
I'm back to SE panel, looks better and it's great for home screen: calendar, date, weather, connectivity buttons, launcher, agenda, tasks, missed things... all at glance in a single panel, no need to go to submenus.
program launcher is better using the startmenu>programs and for contacts, they are too small, icontact does a better job.
also, I think TouchFlo does a better job than this pointui thing... I think I was specting too much from the 2.x update T_T
does it works in landscape mode?

I read on their website that Touchflo 3D actually is a customized version of PointUI Home, and I'd say Home 2 seems to have potential that goes beyond Touchflo. Especially with the built-in support for customization and applets.

Hmm. . That seems like a lot of work to add something that most apps come populated with. I'll leave a note on their board.

Hello,
I should wantto have an TV scheduler on a new tab of Manila. It's possible ?
A "NOTES TAB" would be much better. A developer could make it
I would say an app with the tv program.
I want a tab which gives me cheeseburgers...
why ? it's not particulary hard to develop, is it ?
i'm java developper but i don't know develloping for diamond.
if someone can help me ?
nobody interresting by my idea ?
a tab to host any today plug-in will be the most flexible.
I would say an program with the programs tv of the day and their timetable.
like iGuideTV for iphone
Sky+
Would be good if it linked in to Sky + aswell, however I am not sure how this would be done.
Perhaps using the iPhone feed?

Does it need to be a tab, I'd be happy for an App
Yes I know.
firstly, it's possible to add a tab to Manila isn't it ?
secondly, I don't know Lua. I download FBA Creator but it's very strange for me. Somebody know a good tutorial ?
thks
Noboby to help me ?
Dude!
It's apparently really hard as the only custom tab ever made is the calender tab, with VERY limited functionality. There are some other tabs floating around but these were either already in the phone or use stuff from other menu's in manila. As far as I know, d-man is the only one who can program his own tabs, very limited ones btw. I've been told that manila runs on a virtual machine and isn't as simple as java and stuff. So I seriously doubt that your tv thing will be made or even a simple notes tab, but I'd gladly be proven wrong
I'm currently using my own taskbar icons, combined with WKTask to add some functionality.
Now I've heard about WisBar Advance, including its capability to change the taskbar (and softbuttons) skins. This is a feature that greatly appeals to me.
Who uses (or has used) this application and can give me some information on what to expect?
- What's the memory usage?
- CPU usage?
- Will it work with HTC's new start menu (TF3D2)
- Is it easy to configure?
I've already read that it won't work properly with panels, but that's np for me.
Thanks!

Don't have exact figures.. but it's not that much
- CPU usage?
I used to turn it off when playing divx files in Coreplayer.. does that tell you enough? again.. no exact figures
- Will it work with HTC's new start menu (TF3D2)
no idea
- Is it easy to configure?
Yes it is.. just make the right size bitmaps and it will work.
I did use it for a while but found it to give troubles when using panels.
When you're in a differrent panel and use an application and close it wisbar makes you return to your home panel again instead of the one you were in before opening that app.
This was a killer for me.. plus performance does suffer a little.
Also I had some issues to get all icons and fading "press button" colors to my liking (wanted to use bitmap for the fading which isn't possible)
All in all I did like the options.. but the program does need some tweaking for me to actually buy it
The last time I tried WisBar Advance, it didn't seem very compatible with TF3D. Not sure if any difference in the newer versions.
Hmm. Guess it's not what I need then, can't have something that's just aesthetic to slow my device down too much.
Thanks for the info!
Hi all
I am a software developer and I am interested in developing smartphone applications on my spare time (and I have a lot) for free.
What I need is ideas…. Meaning, me my self has HTC Diamond and all of my application needs is modest but I am sure that you guys probably have more needs then I do and …. My be you can help me help you … so bring on the ideas (… just not themes and all of this kind of applications).
Thanks

Very good.
Okay, I've got a request:
I need a little program, which is the same like BluePower which switches BT on when connecting to AC but a little bit more extended.
So, 2 things are very needed:
1. A popup which asks if BT should really switched on (YES/NO; Standard: YES)
2. This prog should recognize if a BT-device is connected so BT should stay on when loosing AC-Power
That's for now

photo uploader
hi, i'm looking for a program to upload, pictures/photo's/video to my own website. like, you make a picture and then you can select to upload it to your own specified website. maybe also the posebillety with gps position and some comments. don't know if it's possible.
pls think about it!
grtz heyk
hey i m looking for photoeditor for elfin can u made it
Really cool would be, to have an small app like g-profile, which for example turns on wi-fi on an fixed placed at an fixed time.
for example i come home, it recognizes this gsm singnal, and wi-fi turns on.
or i get to work, its not yet my breakt and it turns the volume to just vibra. than my break starts and volume turns up.
gprofile can do such thing but just with one reason, gsm OR time, i would need both
i want if you fancy making a simple but functional hard key program swapper so i can change the hardkeys setting easily to other programs.
thanks for the offer wish I could do this.
I wouldlike to log calls in contact notes like agendasfusion.
callcalendaris close but buggyand logsonly incalendar.
a weather app like weatherpanel where wallpaperis live radar
a calculator app with running tape, and a transparent keyboard
looks like youre gonna be busy!
i was thinkin recently of working with someone to make some palm pre-like apps
the fluidity of the apps on that device ive seen in preview vids and the wonderful use of the small screen real estate (no top and bottom bars, minimal buttons), is something that is almost necessary on screens like my htc touch (same screen size as the palm pre)
so, i would provide all the graphics for these apps, just need a developer
i think so far pocketcm contacts has contacts/sms covered.. very smooth scrolling, with a skin i can acheive the same simplicity and great use of fullscreen view on a small screen as i whippd up in this photoshop mockup:
i think what winmo needs is a good email interceptor app.. there are none that are skinnable to the extent of pocketcm contacts or as fluid, and then an image viewer (see palm pre screenshots of that app here -simple but very useful-:http://www.engadget.com/photos/palm-pre-official-ui-shots-1/1290333/ you can find videos all over) and a similar calendar app
most needed is the email app
if you could develop trust me.. you would have an insane following of obedient users
weve been looking for one for a long time, but its never come thru
if you make it, ill provide graphics!
think about it

What about a application, an actual good and working application that lets you create group distribution lists for email groups in your contacts similar to how the blackberry allows you to do it from their contact list and be able to use the group listing whether creating a new email or forwarding an email. I am shocked that this issue hasn't been addressed sooner.

Complete lack of integration between calendar + contacts and email + contacts is very disheartening!
My problem is that I do a lot of presentations, and all the presentation pointer/remote apps out there cannot meet my needs in terms of simplicity. All of them require me to run a server app on my PC.
I have used one in Palm that emulates a bluetooth HID keyboard/mouse, meaning it can do anything that your mouse or keyboard can do. The app requires to have virtual keys for Ctrl, Alt, Del, Function keys.

Maybe a suggestion, in Microsoft Office, If we copy/paste or drag-drop email to Calender, then it becomes an appointment.
Maybe this could help you in some thinking...

Papi Jump
Hi!
My idea is to make a game, similar to Papi Jump (a great game for iPhone) - you can see the game on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQxltToeNXo . It's an arcade game - you control a jumping ball with tilting your device.
It would be great if could make this game work for Windows Mobile.
Since we're all tossing stuff into the "wishing well", I can add something too
An application that would scroll RSS feeds on Home screen in Manila.
Of course, such an app isn't hard to make, the RSS Hub saves its channels into simple files - the problem is how to incorporate it into Home screen.
Well, I got an idea for that as well! Recently a small program called Personalizer showed up that enables us to change the network provider name into anything we want - that would be the perfect place for RSS scroller to show up! And since there already exists a way to modify this data, I suppose it would be possible to use Personalizer as backdoor for the feeds to show up in that text filed!
Even if they wouldn't actually "scroll", I think they could be made to change every 4-5 seconds.

Or how about a Config-Editor for FingerPoint? ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499734 ) - so there's no more need to edit the XML Config File manually?
How about an application that reminds you to drink water and tracks how much water you have drank per day. As everyone should know, the average male should drink 3 to 5 liters of water everyday and ladies should drink 2 to 4 liters.
How about a litle app that:
1-Reminds you to drink
2-Allows you to input how much water you have drank (when reminded or manually)
In the long run, you could monitor how much water you consume on a monthly,qaurterly ,biannually and yearly basis.
Hello!
Anybody know any good tasks software out there? I searched and searched and couldn't find anything that suits me. Either too many useless additional features, or they simply look bad.
I'm looking for something like the old Memento on the even older Nokia 3310, if anybody remembers it, but more customizable. And maybe with a today plugin too.
My dream would be an additional Tasks tab in touchflo3d, but I'm guessing that will remain in it's dream state.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Take care!

Hi!
I have got 2 questions for you:
1) Do you mean a TaskManager to quit running programs or do you mean an application for tasks like Outlook tasks?
2) I don't know the programs you have written about. Do you need a kind of "Touch Task" app?
no, not task manager, tasks as in "to do" list. simple, plain task list. organizer style. like the built-in tasks application in winmobile, but more (MORE) user friendly. that one just doesn't do the trick for me.

I've been using Pocket Informant and Agenda Fusion, but according to your question - too complicated with no convenient "touch interface". Now I'm using http://www.sbsh.net/products/windows_mobile_pocket_pc/calendar_touch

Hi,
I've been searching for the same thing but haven't really found one.
I really like the Task2Gather https://task2gather.com/site/windows-mobile-task-management.html
But since they don't support offline mode it's pretty much useless...
They are working on an offline version but when I emailed them they are only planning for the Iphone version... Maybe if more people email them about the Windows version they will put more effort in it.
thanks, i tried calendar touch, but it still is too complex... nevertheless, it's not bad. and that task 2 gather... why only online? i don't see the point. shopping lists, ok, and what else?i'm not looking for a tool designed for bussiness agents or corporations, i'm just looking for a simple tasks list.
don't get me wrong, i'm not mad at you. thanks, anyway.
What's wrong with the standard tasks program?
I'm pretty happy with SPB Diary, which is a today plugin rather than a stand-alone application. It acts as a front-end for pocket outlook & tasks and is nicely customisable. It integrates nicely with SPB Weather and works best when combined with Pocket Plus.
Personally I've tried a lot of task organizers, I feel better with tasks shown in tree structure so I found an excelent freeware application for Pc "To-do List" (http://abstractspoon.pbworks.com/) that I synchronise with "my life organized" on my PPC (http://www.mylifeorganized.net/)
I hope will help...

Hello,
I am using that one : http://www.mabware.com/
Very simple, but very flexible;
i like it!
I've tried lots of calendars out over time and do you know I find thumbcal the best. The new version is fast and simple to use and looks nice and clean.The task page of it is a must have for me
thanks a lot for your feed-back. i can't believe that, even though i searched for something like those apps, i didn't find them. i think i'm going with my life organized. even though it's a bit more complex than i need, it has a lot of functionality. thanks again!
