has anyone started work on getting the new HTC touch UI onto othere devices?
Hope so... I also want it...
yes I'm waiting too.
TouchFLO - if we can take this option to our model, that's cool.
and I thought someboy will sone this job vry soon.
Simple example
I've made a simple first version of the HCT Touch UI, based on one or two pictures I saw on the internet.
I made it in Wisbar Advance Desktop, just a fix docking background for the color and lines and then placed 6 few icons on it...
It is a start. Also a Comm Manager has been done in this format.
It can be downloaded elsewhere if you google or you can find it in the WM6-Hermes forum.
Hi!
Here you can see some interesting videos of the gui, quite interesting: http://www.theunwired.net/index.php?itemid=3899
Is there any shipped devices with this functionality on the market yet?
Regards,
PK
there is a software called SPB mobile shell which is almost similar to this

there's lots of software which can do this (like WAD). but the looks we have to make ourselves. problem is there are not that much pictures yet of the HTC Touch...
I'd love to have Touch UI working on my Artemis, and then probably on future HTC devices as well.
I am using HTC PhoneCanvas 3.0 33556.0 under WM6.5 Build 21202 WWE R6.1 cooked by Xplode. every thing is working smoothly BUT there should be a tab under phone settings to control many options like:
1- add new number to contacts at end of a call
2- vibrate when call is connected
3- reject call with SMS + the option to write your custom SMS
Where is that tab????
i believe phone settings tabs are controled by phonesetting.dll and HTC phone canvas add another file called phonesettingExt.dll that should hold 2 tabs( more & advanced) but this one have (PIN2 & more)!!! so now i can control PIN2 from 2 different tabs!!!
any ideas?
80+ visits and no reply!!! Does that mean i am the only one having this issue or that every body have it and dont mind???
i dont know from ehwre do you get a cabfor it but it is incomplete

Hello Xplode,
i am using HTC phone canvas that you posted in "Iolite Stuff for Blueangel updated [31.01.2009] " thread!
By the way thanks for your great efforts that made Blue angel survive till now
maybe i have missed depedency for it, look in kaiser forums there is ported phonecanvas which woked fine
I just got the TP2 for USCC last week. (WM6.5) I haven't used WM in about 2 years and am pretty dissapointed to find a lot of the same issues that were present then. I used to be a fairly competent WM user with above average knowledge in registry editing, ROM flashing, etc but most of what I used to use seems to have changed. So far I have found the fixes for the sms sent notification and the organization of the contact list by last name, first to first, last.
I've been all over these forums and cannot find a fix to disable the onscreen keyboard from auto-popping...ever. Also, in the sound settings menu, there is a slider to adjust ringer volume and another to adjust system volume yet these two don't work independently. I want system volume loud for hearing things like my IM app that runs in the background yet have the ringer volume lower as it's over bearing on full.
Something else I have noticed is that some settings menus appear to be there but not functioning. For instance, under settings>all settings>today there is a 2nd tab for items that does not change from the appearance tab. I've notice several menu's like this throughout the phone. It seems like there are things that other versions of WM may have had that this doesn't or simply that Microsoft/HTC got lazy in the initial release and either did not remove tabs that were not intended to be there or forgot to finish some that should. Just wondering if anyone has some insight into this.
I'm also looking for a good free IM client. I've seen many apps across these forums but with so many out there, it's hard to find the right one for me. I refuse to pay $45 for Agile messenger (although I've seen hacked versions but I would prefer not to deal with that). It's a decent app, not great but decent but $45 for a very simple app is outrageous. So, I found Slick ( http://slick.en.softonic.com/windowsmobile ) which is a free app and works great! The only feature it is missing that I liked about Agile is a notification (similar to the annoying sms message sent notification that I removed) while the app is in standby. Does anyone know of another free IM app that is simple and has that feature? I only use Google Talk and have noticed some apps specifically for that but there are so many to try, I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation to save me some time.
The last thing I'm curious about pertains to Manila. I see Manila all over these forums. I've done some reading on it and have a good understanding of what manila is. But, it's very confusing as some thread talk about reflashing ROMS for it and others talk about installing cabs over your current rom for it. Does anyone have a link to a good thread(s) that will explain things more clearly so I can make an educated decision on the best way to try this out? A, Manila for Dummies, if you will.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: It looks like the "Manila" Touch Flo design is incorporated in WM 6.5 on my device already? Is this mainly the custom tabs located at the bottom of the today screen?

There's an option to disable "Auto Deploy SIP" in Advanced Configuration Tool.

Go to "Settings" tab, tap "Sound", turn off "Single Volume Control".

First of all, TF3D/TouchFlo3d, Manila, or Sense are essentially the same thing. It's a skin designed by HTC to cover up WinMo. You may say it's actualy just a very elaborate Today screen plugin. Since it takes up the whole screen, you would not be able to add other items.

No comment. I use MSN Messenger. See if other can help you out here.

See above for a crude definition. There are many versions, so that's why there's so much discussion in these forums about them. People are trying to use versions that didn't come stock with their devices.
TF2D or Manila 2D - for budget devices like the Touch Vivo, Touch Cruise, etc
TF3D v1 - originally came on the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro
TF3D v2- came with the Touch Diamond 2 and our Touch Pro2.
TF3D v2.1 - came with the release of the official WinMo 6.5 ROM for the Touch Diamond2 and our Touch Pro2. Identifiable with the weather under the clock in the Home tab.
TF3D v2.5 - came with the release of the Touch HD2. Has customizable shortcuts on the Home tab, revamped People tab, coverflow-like Pictures tab and Music tab when in landscape, and other goodies.
Btw, going forward, you may want to list out what you're asking in bullet point form. Most people are put off by long essay-like posts. You'll get more responses if your post is clear and short.

I was just using that particular option as an example of a menu that is present but cannot be accessed.

That actually clears it up quite a bit. So it appears that my CDMA TP2 with USCC is actually 2.1 or 2.5? I see you stated our TP2 is is 2.1 but your description of 2.5 seems to fit my phone. Either way, it looks like I can just addon on any Manila Cabs that customize the home screen more as Manila is already installed?

Sorry about that, I was reading though forums for about 2 hours after the bar last night when I typed all of that. I tend to get a bit winded when I'm intoxicated.

Where else are there menu options that doesn't look like they belong? Anyway, if there are, then it's because of Microsoft and not HTC. We're on WinMo is on version 6.5 now, but it really hasn't changed much since I first used a pocket PC back in 2000.

Certainly, there are components that are possible to install via cabs. But often, you'll need to flash a ROM with the particular build of Manila that you want to get those features.
So just to clear this up, if something is made for TF3D v2, it should (or might) work with our CDMA TP2 running the stock @M6.5 rom?
Also, anyone have a fix for the keyboard thing? I remembered the name of the cab i used to use, null keyboard but can't find anything that works with this rom. I've tried a few reg edits that have not worked.

It should, yes. However, if you have a TP2 with WM 6.5 you most likely have Manila 2.1 (in my case 2.1.191937). If you go to the Settings tab and scroll down, you should be able to see which version you have. That being said, many cabs work on all versions, a good few has to have a more specific version (like 2.0, 2.1 or 2.5) and a mere handful needs to be spot on (e.g. 2.1.1717).
After installing such a CAB you often need to restart your TF3D/Manila/Sense, and to do so you go to Start > Settings > Today and tick off HTC Sense. Tap OK and go back in to tick the HTC Sense box again. That restarts your TF3D.
Hope that made sense.
Thx for the clarification, I think I'm ready to start customizing this thing! I'm a bit hesitant as I really like alot of the features that come with the stock home screen. My last windows device was the 8125 and I modded the **** out of that home screen but this one I simply want to add a few highlights without loosing the over all look.
One thing I have been curious about is if there is a way to put a google search bar under the calendar. I know Google apps will put one up but then I have to go to my programs tab and open google apps so I might as well just eliminate a step and open opera.
I haven't checked to be honest with you, but I am satisfied with moving the internet tab a few notches closer to the home screen tab. I find that to be quick and easy enough! One tab on the tab and the google search is at the top of the screen.
Thanks for all the help! You gave me the tools I needed to dive back in. I understand the differences in Manila's now as I've flashed about 5 or 6 different roms. 2.5 is slick in theory, especially when Dusk Evolution v2.0 is theme is added but I had to return to 2.1. Thanks again for the help to get me started.
Im client look at PalRingo.. it's pretty awesome and covers most major networks (yahoo, MSN, gmail, facebook chat, icq others.
Yes, that's what I currently use. Kind of an old thread now too. I've come a long way since I started this thread.
Hi,
I was looking for HTC Phone canvas (HTC dialer) of Mega Version. I have searched the forum and I got quite a few links for this dialer. But non of them are working with my Evoloution 2 6.5.3 ROM. When I install this, the dialer is having scroll bar at the right hand side which is covering a bit of dial keys and of no use. And the incoming call number and Caller Name are not getting displayed.
Do anybody got a solution for this?
Hello,
For removing scrollbar, you have to replace a particular dll with a one available on xda which is modified, and no caller id display because most of the latest builds are not compatible with phone canvas 4 only hd mini phone canvas works but unfortunately its not available for opal, although there is a solution next time will try to include.
For now you can try other dialers like spb contact, icon soft etc.
Btw, still very much busy so couldn't even see the device to complete Evolution 2.5, it will be such that even thou it has m2d but still you will get the ultimate free ram as u get in Evolution 2 (70-73), but i cant assure coz still the rom has not been finalized but atleast it will have more than 65 mb free ram even running m2d !!
Hi there,
I just flashed my phone (Omnia 2) with a new Sense 2.5 ROM. Works great, but because of the crappy visual drivers of the O2 it doesn't run very smoothly. Is there a way to tweak Sense's graphics? I presume the performance would be better if the menu's do not slide and fade in anymore, as well as other graphics. I already found some related topics, but I'm not sure if those tweak will work on a non-HTC device.
Little second question: All my contacts are show as "firstname lastname" in the contact list. If I edit a contact's information (i.e. cell numer or group) it will be displayed as "last name, first name", even if I didn't touch the name! Is there a way to make sure this doesnt happen?
Thnx in advance, and sorry for my crappy english!
