Better browser for 6.1? Or customizer for 6.5?

Better browser for 6.1? Or customizer for 6.5? - Mogul, XV6800 General

For the past day or so I've been playing with different 6.1 and 6.5 roms for my titan (Verizon xv6800), trying to decide which to go with. The two contenders seem to be DCD 4.1.2 (WM 6.1) with HTC Home and its customizer, and the new bbsandkm WM 6.5 build.
So far, 6.1 seems to be the winner for reasons of speed and memory use. Also, it seems easier to customize the HTC Home screen than it is to customize Titanium, lovely though it is. But there's one awfully tempting feature of 6.5, and that's the version of IE. The automatic full-screen and finger scrolling are very nice. Is there any way to get those features into 6.1? Or can someone direct me to a nice way to customize the Titanium home screen to have just the stuff I'm interested in? On the home screen I'd mostly like a nice big clock, a weather panel, PIM panels (calendar and tasks) and a launcher for apps (GPS, games, whatever).
Many thanks in advance for your wisdom and/or experience.

i used SPB Pocket Plus 4.02 on bbsands 6.5
it adds finger friendliness to file explorer and ie
also has a bunch of other nice abilities that sbp 2/3 doesn't have and it uses less memory
no fancy sliding screens or anything...but you get a task switcher...close menu...and i think up to 6 today tabs.
it also can double up the top hardkey buttons to short/long presses (messaging/ie buttons)
so you can quicklink 4 programs total to those two buttons...
i recommend that program 100%...all these features can be enabled/disabled
though personally i use a mix of skyfire/opera to get my webbing done
i would also highly recommend checking out mattsm's 6.5 build
if you notice on ppcgeeks, bbsand is/was taking a break and forwarded development to him
i run his 6.5 (i think 23004 build) and its well above the memory i would get on 6.1
no turning back now

as far as internet browsing i use skyfire which is really easy to use and very finger friendly. also opera mini is good too it even allows tabbed browsing.
in terms of the titanium today screen in wm6.5 they have a chome editor which allows you to edit it

For WM6.1 use FTouchFlo and click on full screen it will stay full screen (unless you click a button but it will go back automatically).

There are 6.1 ROM's that have the new version of IE.
There are also several other browser options including Opera Mini, Skyfire, Opera Mobile, etc.
FTouchFlo will add finger friendliness to every program and is a good add on for the slightly older builds of 6.1 that do not have the finger friendly features added to the few MS programs that MS programmed it into in the newer builds. I actually prefer the ROMs that do not have the finger friendly versions because then it's easier to use FTouchFlo and add it to all my programs. If you have the newer builds it is much harder to figure out how to exclude the built in programs so that FTouchFlo does not conflict with the built in gesture handling.

Finger Gestures for EVERYTHING?!? anyone?

Hey guys.. I've been flashing my rom for the past 2 months finding the perfect solutions as best as i can.. I came accross this new PocketCM 0.8 today in the new Black X 2 rom and LOVED IT!
The finger guestures in perticular! Of course this is exactly the type of UI the iPhone is utilizing. So my question is, How can we get this functionality from all Pocket PC Products and screens? Like Pocket Internet Explorer, Calendars, Messaging, Photos, anything where you need to scroll basically i want to be able to use finger gestures?
I know the Htc Touch is all about that! And after reading the forums for days on end, I know that the TouchFlo / ButtonFlo project is dead because the touch.dll and the drivers are not compatible with the HTC Hermies / AT&T 8525. So what cha gunna do brother!!?!?
Any ideas?! THe finger thingy!! Want it. Need it... gatta have it. Gestures!
The rest of this is prob in the wrong thread but here goes.
I want to give a review and comparison of HTC Home Plugin and SPB to see if anyone out there agrees or knows of some kind of solution.
SPB is a software company that makes 3 products, SPB Mobile Shell, SPB Phone Suite and SPB Pocket Plus.
The 3 of them are great but they are memory HOGS! and they don't work very well unless they are installed to the device.
HTC Home screen plug in (3, 4, 5 and 6) button variations are all great and it has most of the features of those 3 SPB products, but HTC Home is still LACKING as far as i'm concerned. Combine the HTC Home with the HTC Xbutton and your closer but stilL WAY far from as good as the SPB products togeather.
SBP has the best X button product along with a battery meter built into SPB Pocket Plus. But the rest of the plus features i dont even use! (such as a today plugin, more PIE options, SAFTEY MODE, and a few more)
SPB Mobile Shell gives you the same kind of TABS as HTC Home plugin but better. The only thing better about HTC Home is that is has More available items in each tab. But the SPB Mobile Shell is COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZEABLE. add more tabs, change icons, whatever, so you are not limited to just 6 tabs with 9 icons each... it even includes weather for your local towns and much more. Also, there is a NOW SCREEN every time you turn on your phone for a very EASY AND QUICK look at your stats, and an SPB MENU that makes using just your fingers a BREEZE!!! navigate through your ENTIRE ppc with big buttons. its like the HTC TOUCH without the gestures and the FLASH and PUH-NAZ! AWESOME products!
SPB Phone Suite gives you the same 3 notifications under the HTC HOME plugin for messages, voicemails and missed calls, but again... so much more!!!
I'd love to see THAT type of functionality with gestures and in a LOW FOOT PRINT so as to not hog up all of my program storage. HTC has some work to do to catch up.

maybe you should buy an iPhone

TouchFlo for HTC devices

Hey all...
I'm new here and I currently have the HTC P4000 (a.k.a. Mogul) and I was interested in installing the TouchFlo application onto my phone. I was wondering what's the difference between the following and which one is recommended:
-FTouchFlo_a4
-FTouchFlo_v1.4.1
-TouchFlo (Alpha)
Thanks.

Ok so let's start:
fTouchFlo:
1.4.1 is the newest version available (a4 is alpha release - 1.4.1 is stable/official release.
fTouchFlo provides finger scrolling capability for all the windows and provides option to launch applications by swiping your finger (currently 4 gestrures are enabled). It does not contain the touch cube launcher. Most of people use it just for finger scrolling (that makes those pesky scroll bars obsolete)
TouchFlo alpha - is the "buttonflo" - it is the Touch Cube launcher that is launched and its faces are turned by button presses. It does not enable finger scrolling, just enables you to use somewhat crippled Cube Launcher. There are flash ports of the cube available - Slither's Flash Cube and Szabi's Launcher plus commercial Touch Commander.

Thanks for the quick reply...
Also I was wondering, what's the closest to the HTC Touch software? And which is most recommended and used?

In case of scrolling there is only fTouchFlo and Kinetic scrolling posibility in SPB Pocket Plus 4.0 (commercial app, scrolling works in selected programs only). I think fTouchFlo is better - though it has limitations - for example you can not use transcriber with fTouchFlo as of yet.
In case of cube launchers the situation differs:
TouchFlo alpha is cracked version of HTC Touch Cube - the turning of the faces of the cube is made by button presses
Slither's cube tries to mimic original TouchCube as much as possible but is written in flash.
Szabi's Cube Launcher goes its own way and the user interface is slightly diffferent.
Touch Commander is commercial app and tends to work correctly on many devices. Personally I only tried TouchFlo alpha so if you want more info you should check threads dedicated to these launchers.

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:
0. Pointui 1.51a
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx
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

Not so finger friendly but still good enough with finger navigation:
1. Total commander
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
The most powerful file manager for WM, period. Using large icons it can be quite finger friendly, and with the combination of a touch-flo rom, no need for stylus. Also use as registry editor.
2. Opera Mini

Finger unfriendly software but still worth mentioning:

A project stopped a long time ago (because they went commercial, kinda like where pointui is leading). Good player for youtube and avi files when bundled with flashvideobundle
http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1319431
However because d-pad works well during playback (up/down for volume, left/right for rewind/fast forward) therefore still handleable
2. QuickMenu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340358
Not finger friendly at all; but very powerful. Mainly use d-pad to operate but because it also has task manger function and assign OK to close programs, quite useful from day-to-day
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)

Am I the only one that I like the window today screen??

To be honest, I tried the touch flo 3d, the home 2, but the only thing I like is the normal, clean windows mobile today screen i like it, its neat , organized, and the xperia wallpaper gives it an elegant look. I alos modified the left menu key to initiate a new sms
what do u think?

I like it's neat clean look, but I prefer using the SE Today Panel.

Same here, a big fan of Winmo Today screen. When I jumped ship from Palm OS to Winmo, the Today screen really makes me forget I ever had a Palm OS device... Although the fond memories of rock hard stability creeps out now and then.
Currently Using itje's incredible Touch-IT v4.5 ROM. The Touchflo is nice, but more of a gimmick then anything else... Give me plain old Today screen anytime.

It just seems easier on the Today screen, that's why I have a lite rom installed, along with TF3d and panels.

I tend to always end up back at the default today screen. Something just nice about it.

Yeah I use it all the time now as it seems to be the most customisable without being fiddley and does all I want it too... I would like a today that is a combination of several of the panels but so far have found nothing that I like more than the normal today...

i use the today screen as my default screen when at work as i like to be in control of how many appointments are displayed, reminders, etc. it's nice to be able to switch to another panel for the weekends though ...
i'm a bit concerned about some of the screenshots for wm 6.5. does the today screen still exist ?

The standard Today just works. Give you access to what a PDA is for, PIM. There is a plugin called TodayAgenda which makes it perfect though.

glad you guys think the same way
btw, any idea how to make a shortcut for the start button? I downloaded a program, H button, that enables me to long press a key and a program comes up... but i want to access the start menu that way

Are you trying to assign a hardware key to Start Menu? If so, go to Start>Settings>Buttons

All this talk is making me want to use the Today panel more! I just tweaked it a little bit and I'm going to give it a try next week.
Does anybody know of a way to get more programs on it? Skype is on the list, and I think TomTom is, but I'd like a couple others.

I need to use the today screen to see the G-Alarm plugin, how much Internet traffic I had this month (SPB Wireless). Also I find it very convenient to use Elecont Dialer (a scrollable row of contacts to call or sms) and Elecont Launcher (a scrollable row of apps).
So I usually end up using it, even if SPB Shell is more touch-friendly. It just doesn't display all the information I need in one screen.

I always seem to go back to the spb panel as my default. its simple and looks clean i think compared with tf3d and point ui. im hopeing that when the new 3.0 shell comes out that it wont replace the spb x1 panel (although i know it will).

I've tried all the panels, shells etc. You name them, I've tried them. As said before, the Touch-IT v4.5 ROM is nice, but gimmicky. I admit I've installed it, but only to get GPS tagging of photos. I untick it in Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items immediately after it's installed.
I appreciate all the work that's gone into developing it, but its way too busy for me
My preferred interface is iFonz 2. The interface can be as simple or as 'busy' as you like. I prefer to have just a few icons of the programs I use regularly on screen as well as icons for the frequently called contacts. Also its very finger friendly.
For the programs that I use infrequently, it's no hassle to find them in Start -> Programs, and contacts are easy to find in iContacts
Caps

Hey friends, I'm with you. I think the today screen is one of the best inventions of Microsoft and is really underrated. It just makes sense to have active plugins share the most precious place on a mobile - the information screen after switching the device on. I think the iPhone is ridiculous in this regardö - just showing icons of the programs that can be launched is lame. Also, there are really powerful plugins available for Windows Mobile. I'm personally using the built in date/time and messages plugin together with PocketBreeze for all the organizer stuff and PocketPlus for system status (battery, memory), finger friendly app launcher and additional plugins as tab (spb weather actuall). Then I use the system tray as quicklaunch and for showing the currently selected phone profile from PhoneWeaver and my softkeys start Contacts and WM5NewMenu, with which I can very quickly place a new appointment, SMS, Email, Note and so on. With this setup, I can really use the device, not only play. Everything is just one or two clicks/actions away and I always have a good overview of what's going on.
I really don't understand why so many people want a better iPhone instead of a good Windows Mobile device. Windows Mobile has drawbacks but also strong points, of which the today screen is one of the strongest I think.

I am also a big fan of the Windows today page. I think it's the only one that can be entirely adapted to everyone's need, all other software are nice graphically, but not as effective as a well prepared today page.

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
2.1 to 2.5. I have a Tilt 2 2 weeks out of the box.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flash a Rom with 2.5.

Where do i find the 2.5 rom
I'm not sure what one to use off this board as I don't know how to interpret the headers as to which one i need:
[THEME][29/12/09][THE CELL THEMES][Professional V3 Now UP & Dark V6] Now WM6.5.3
I have no idea what this means other than something to possibly do with themes.
