Pocket Informant intigration on Touch Flow 3D - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Pocket Informant intigration on Touch Flow 3D - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Hi,
is there any way to integrate Pocket Informant (agenda view) on the Toch Flow 3 D , maybe by clicking on the calender (so that PI opends in agenda view)?

This really depends how touchflow works.
There are 2 ways. Touchflow can adress the default calander, or the actual program. In previous releases, it adressed the actual program. So big change this will be the case again. Also, from what I've seen, the only way to still open the agenda is installing a 3th party calendar.
When you launch the standarrd Calander app, it will redirect you to the touchflow 3d calender tab. I have to say it's irritating to see that there is no option to go to the real agenda.
As for pocket informant, when you install it you can work with it. Everything you fill in there will come into the regular agenda, en thus also in touchflow 3d.
I expect you won't be able to launch pocketinformant from the touchflow agenda.
(it's upto the pocketinformant developers to decide if they release a tool that integrates with touchflow 3d, but it probably will be the XDA people who will make this possible. Hopefully, with a single program instead of a full rom
I base this information on video's I've seen and past experiences with touchflow. (So haven't had the device in my hands yet)

Another simple option (till we could have a solution)could be to programm a hardware butten in order to open PI agenda view (subject there is any button left /available on the Touch Pro 2.

Helps?
I am not 100% sure if it is TF3D2 compatible.
But in TF3D you (on my PRO) you can then use the srings of the shortcuts of PI to alter the links...
Hope it helps.

Only-fingers project

Hi all. I am new on this great forum.
There are some stylus-free application but I would like that there is a complete stylus-free application for everything on a windowsmobile (not only the contacts or the music player) so can we make a project to use our WM without stylus?
PS: I know there are pointui, and other ui but they are only UI so I want (if possible) a complete stylus-free application
We already have some applications:
pointUI for the UI
Icontact or pockeetCM for the contacts
the music player from the touch or the manila player
and now what about the others applications?
Internet browsing: opera 9.5 from the manila
best virtual Keyboard stylus-free: ?
So, my wish is that we make a .cab with as much as possible finger-friendly application to have a better and faster control for all WM.
I hope you agree and we (the community) make a complete stylus-free application for all uses on WM.
EDIT: If you didn't understand what I mean, I would like that the TOUCH developper get together and create only one powerful application and not creat many more (I think there are more than 10 UI apps) even if they are great I think it will be better that you make one complete application.

brilliant idea
couldnt agree more bud

thanks!
I'm waiting on developpers

SO you know all the fingerfriendly apps, so what is this thread about ???
Are you waiting for a developer who makes 4 cabs to one ??
Are you to lazy to install 4 cabs or what ? Sorry man, this is junior bull****, install pointui, opera, pocketcm and thumbcal, this can´t be to difficult also for noobs.

I've already installed them. They are great but for example I must use the stylus for the calendar, the start menu, the settings, the pictures/videos gallery...
And I want to never have to use the stylus.

Thumbcal is a great Calendar wich is made for "touchfeeling"

so you can find her thumbCal ,a completly fingerfriendly calendar and with point ui, ultimatelaunch or thousands of other launchers here you dont need starmenue, settings or something like that, so again, what is this thread about ,
here is a list of some apps i use:
PointUI
thumbCal
PocketCm
s2u2, s2p, s2v
diamond keyboard
opera 9.5
SO PLEASE SEARCH ! If you really tried all this apps then i dont know why you need your stylus ? To make on GUI out of all this isnt usefull because every user whats something special and installing the applications YOU want is so easy. the easiest and most powerfull GUI ist pointui, then you use thumbcal., for media the s2-apps (or the HTC Apps) and for browsing opera 9.5 (or opera mini) and another keyboard thats it.

This is the collection I'm using on my tmobile wing right now:

This is the most complete UI replacement for WM IMHO. Besides the Home Task Bar gives users a feel of consistency when launching apps, settings, etc. The new version is much more stable than previous versions, and almost bug free, almost. Check pointui forum for more details.
Be aware! Most of these have *opposite* vertical scrolling than pointui. However I think pointui scrolling is SUPERIOR because I can scroll much faster

I have also created folders in my windows\start menu so now programs of similar groups (office, internet, etc) gets put in their respective folder. This greatly reduced the clutter when trying to launch programs from either pointui or quick menu.
Now the only time I draw out the stylus is when I need to scratch on the note - finger just can't do that, at least not yet

Speak to Schaps - he's currently looking for beta testers for a new Touch Menu UI he's been developing for the past 6 months...
Link here: Schaps new Touch UI

I don't think this is a good idea because there are tons of finger-friendly apps...
And you have only to chose the one fits better to your needs....
So you must try them to figure out which is the best for you.....

All these apps are great, but there is a big problem:
it is not always possible to use them all, because there are many features which are double implemented.
for example: pocketcm ist not just for contacts, also for sms, etc.
pointui has a gui for contacts too but not for sms, and so on...
it would be nice, if those developers will make a new project together and each of them will do what he can do best (pointui-team should make the gui, pocketcm-developer the contacts, etc.).

Too bad its not for herald or any other device.

Thank you for the apps. but I wanted that the developpers make one cab that complete changes the WM so all these apps in 1. Because If you activate the ui, you open the webbrowser, you sand a sms, .... you have space memory problems. For example: with my touch (p3450) if I use pointui home and then listen to music, the touch is very slow,..
So I would like that the developpers (I'll help them if I can and can be a beta-tester) make one app that COMPLETE changes the WM from the ui to the sms app, settings,...
Please, I hope you understand what I mean,thx.

What I'm getting from this is you want every single "touch" developer to get together and create what would essentially be one HUGE interface application, with everything built in? You're asking way too much here, just appreciate the fact that there are so many separate developers and applications for you to pick and choose from.
Edit:
Forgot to suggest waiting to buy a Touch Diamond or Touch Pro. That's my plan, haha.

^^ Yes you're a bit right... it's not necessary to use these apps but yes I want an everything built in application because when I install many touch apps, my PPC has some bugs and goes slowly...therefor I want a complete app
EDIT: haha I can't because I've bought another phone for 2 weeks^^ (n*kia N82)

How to integrate Pocket Informant 8 into SE Panel 2

Hi everyone,
the question is simple as you can see on the headline.
I'm testing the trial version of Pocket Informant 8 and that program is great. Nice usabalitiy and functions.
But I only use the SE Panel 2, that one with a monthly calendar, clock, to-do etc. not the main Panel. The problem here is, that PI8 would not fully integrate on that panel. Only the contact list works well, but I use a shortcut. If I would go on the monthly view, the X1 kicks me to the normal calendar.
Does someone know how to make it? I had activate PI8 as the standard calendar as well, but no use. :/

use the SoftKeyApplet.cpl and change the left softkey to PocketInformant
(google for the applet)

Not working

In that case the calendar on the panel screen as well as the agenda items still refer to the old WM mobile agenda. Or am I doing something wrong?

Nobody knows how to solve this?

Nope u'r right, only the softkey for the calendar is then for PI, but the panel buttons are still the old winmob calendar.
Didn't found out anything until now, hope we can get help, I really like the calendar and have no idea how to change the registry savetly.^^

I use PI8 extensively and am thinking of getting an X1 so gonna bump this in the hope that someone has a solution.
thanks!

The only solution I was forced to use is to disable them... they take too long to load anyway, and functionality is limited.
Use the free SPB Mobile X panel instead; on their forums there is a free plugin download, that integrates it with PI 8.

It isn't fully integrated on mine.
I use the SPB mobile panel and have also downloaded the Pocket Informant (PI) plugin from Spb. Now the Calender correctly loads the PI calender but the contacts tab on the spb shell still directs to the win mob contacts page
Anyone found a way to integrate the PI contacts to the 3rd tab for contacts on the Spb mobile panel ?

I think the original WM Today Screen is the best.
It is very flexible and you can add any plugin u want.
Just put some plugins and you are good to go.
I really dont understand why many people overlook the functionality of the Today Screen which can get anything done in one screen. Unlike TF3D, SPB Shell, or the X Panel which have to scroll pages.

calendar appointments

hi, i'm using the standard windows today screen, i guess i'm old-fashioned but kind a got used to it. the problem with the HD is, it will only view one appointment at a time, even though i have multiple appointments on that day.
any suggestions..

For a much more powerful calender today-plugin you can try TodayAgenda (freeware) or SBSH PocketBreeze (shareware) or SPB Diary (shareware)...

which do u recommend. do they support the WVGA screen on THD

TodayAgenda runs without problem on HD res

I have invested in Spb Mobile Shell, Diary and Phone Suite.
Switching to this through SecondToday, I now have a REALLY powerful and flexible PDA.
I can see ALL my diary appointments for the next month and all birthdays for the next year. I use Gyrator to place the PDA in "lock" mode whenever the stylus is inserted, and this then also activates the "Spb Today" function, showing a really useful Today screen. When the stylus in withdrawn, the PDA unlocks itself, and a single button press takes me back to the TouchFlo Today screen.
Through Phone Suite - which I only use to configure the ring volume - I can set a better selection of ring volume, ring type (ie vibrate, ring, mute, level) and can even program different ring levels for different times of the day (eg if I am at work) or if I have a calendar appointment.
I hated the TouchFlo display at first, but now coupled with Spb (which I have to say is first-rate), I now really love this PDA.

TodayAgenda, SPB Diary
Tried installing both on my TouchHD, installation successful, but nowhere to be seen under PROGRAM? Any suggestions?

I am not sure, but dont you have to activate them under the option today (due to tha fact that both are today plugins)? I also think you have to use secondToday to use these programs.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Greetings

Thanks for your response. I checked under TODAY and found TODAY AGENDA. Ticked it, but didn't see it anywhere else. Checked TODAY again, and found that it was unticked. Only Touchflo3D was ticked. When Touchflo3D was disabled, only then TODAY AGENDA appeared on the TODAY screen. Is that how it should worked? And if you don't mind what is Second Today?

I can only speak for Spb Diary here, but it does need Spb Mobile Shell in order to work. Mobile Shell can easily be switched to by using SecondToday.

SecondToday allows you to have in addition to the TouchFlo a second today screen assigned to one of the two soft buttons at the bottom of the screen (above the hard buttons).
I use this with SBSH PocketBreeze - excellent app. I have also in the past used SPB Diary which also is very good.
Using secontdtoday I am now able to view my whole diary (and access all the other SBSH features) and swop back to TF3D.
TouchFlo (TF3D) will not allow you to have other today screen plugins (I think). Hence the need for Secondtoday. Search the forum for secondtoday. It also is in my recent post 30 minutes ago in the working applications thread.

How to display next appointments ?

Hello,
Because, there is no such fonction in standard, I'm searching for an easy-to-use solution for displaying next appointments
For exemple, combining today agenda + second today is not an easy-to-use solution.
Manilla 3 came with a new calendar but without week view.
Is there really no solution to display next appointment dates on Manila home screen for exemple ? How guys you handle that ?

I dont know what you mean because appointments I type into my calendar are shown on the home screen one day before the certain date. I think you have to use a calendar that uses the outlook-database to save appointments.

Exact, but for a professional use, one day before the certain date is a too short term view..
I wish I could scroll the view until a week for exemple..

Why do you see using SecondToday as a hard option?
I use this with Spb Diary, and it is both easy to set up, and a doddle to use. It displays forthcoming events, bithdays etc in a clear, easy-to read list for the following 31 days.
I have it assigned to a long keypress on the left softkey, but it could just as easily be assigned to the calendar button

Wellcome to the club, then. Most who use the HD as a professional tool complain of the same thing.
However, SecondToday does work well, and is only a button-press away. I have set up Spb shell to display just the Diary page as a full-page view, so can see loads of appointments.
I also have high hopes for the new Spb Shell v3 which is due to be released fairly soon, and might use that instead of TF3D.

that's the reason why I went back to the default Windows Mobile Today screen with SBP Diary and Calendar+

touchflo 3d customization

I've searched through tons of themes and seen some nice stuff, but haven't been able to find what I am looking for. I am trying to find out how to display more agenda and task information on my home screen, along the lines of a SBSH Facade for smartphones. Is this even possible within tf3d, or do I need to ditch it all together and pick up something different for a home screen?

i never use agenda thing,i go tradition.
i like to write all my notes (to-dos) in Phatpad,then put Phatpad shortcut in the desktop which you can access it in one click.
From time to time I will check all the notes. and know what has been done,and what are coming.
it's traditional way,but it's working for me, forget about agendas etc etc which you have to pin them in calendar etc. annoying.

I already have the ability to jump into pocket informant to check my schedule and tasks. I just want the ability to see more of that information displayed on my home screen. Is the home screen information open for adjustment at all?

upgrade to manila 2.5, it has the option to add shortcuts on the home screen in touch flow

how do i upgrade from
