6/15/09 "Zoom Status" and "task manager" from new Acer Roms (cabs now available)
edit: CAB not available at post #8..thanks man
the only thing that cought my attention from the acer software is the "zoom status". see it in action in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Kv0MZfoZI&feature=channel_page 6:30 - 7:00
i like it better than the new notification center of tf3d 2
hope someone can port it

I do like that, especially the close button.

that shouldn't be too hard to get on vga devices.. right?

the device in the video has wvga screen(save horizantal resolution as the normal vga device. i think it will port very easily to vga devices

any new acer phones roms floating around so we can extract the packages of this

Yeah. And the taskmanager is quite nice too

Here is the Cab - I loaded it on my Titan (QVGA) and it installed without a problem but won't run. There is a QVGA icon pack in the install directory and it creates a shortcut in the startmenu. When I click on the shortcut an Info box pops up that says (Can't Start Zoom Status Please Check Zoom Status is Enabled). I don't see any obvious way to enable it after looking in the install directory and the windows directory. Have soft reset after install, still no luck.
By the way, it doesn't show up in the remove programs directory so once you've installed it you have to manually remove...
I'm running WM 6.5 27128 so perhaps this only works on 6.1.

I installed it on an X1 running wm6.5 and got the same error message but you can get it to run if you disable the default today plugin in on wm6.5 and enable the Zoomstatus one.
guess it runs as a today plugin in on the Acer shell

I run it on custom asus WM 6.5.xxx502 ROM. I did the same as jbrummie but I couldn`t have both enabled - windows default and zoom status. Any solution ?

Yep - found the same thing. It runs and works on 6.5 but won't work at the same time Titanium is enabled....

i'm running energyROM and I can't seem to disable the topaz notification manager - can anyone see if it works with TF3D2?

thanks
will test it

6.1 ROM , Qvga, Elfin.
Must shut down Tf2d in order for this to work.
The topaz notification system cant be shut down. So I only can see task manager.
Over.

-
installed the task manager on my imate 9502 and all it done was enlarge the scrollbars on standard winmo applications so as only 2 icons are displayed per line..

Works fine on my xperia with wm6.1

installed on my i910 omnia, seems to wrk. although some buttons dont do anything when i press them on the zoomstatus. havent tried the taskmgr yet.
edit: i just soft reset, the task manager is there. works fine. looking at the install folder it seems skinnable. also it doesnt seem to give me accurate info since im on verizons network. the sig strength and battery works fine though. taskmanager also looks skinnable since all the image files are in the install folder. looks fun.

Here are some pics on a Fuze. I had to turn off TF3D. Also, some of the notifications don't work, like volume just brings me back to HTC's notifications so it's a loop. The other taskbar items work but require a press and hold. i'm using the updated Fuze ROM.

Zoom status works fine with Titanium (wm6.5) if you change registry value "Exclusive" to zero for Titanium plugin.
You should enable both plugins ("Windows Default"(Titanium) and ZoomStatus) in Today items settings.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Windows Default"]
"Exclusive"=dword:00000000

need help with touchflo detatcher

im using tfdetacher 6.5 and the right softkey on the wm6.5 today screen says touchflo but when i goto touchflo, how do i set the right softkey to take me back to the 6.5 today screen?

In the tfdetacher config program. I believe it is in your start/programs by default.

its in my programs start menu but i click on it and it just takes me back to touchflo today screen, i wanna get my wm6.5 today screen

Try looking under settings, or a folder called system tools, or something like that. There should be a program called TFD Config somewhere in your Startmenu. You did install TFD and having it currently running right?

yes its installed and running but its real slow on switching over and sometimes the soft keys will start flashing and also i want to be able to use weatherpanel 2009 but cant seem to figure all this out. srry, im such a noob..lol

Dunno what to say man. It works flawlessly on my Vogue. Maybe you have too many programs running and are low on RAM. Sorry I don't have any other tips.

ok, what version of touchflo detatcher do you use on your vogue and also, could you post your screenshots of all the settings that i need to do to make it work and to make weatherpanel 2009 be incorarated in that as well. i do have 2nd today installed just havnt set it up yet

ok, i've set the softkeys correctly in tfconfig and they still dont respond. is there something i need to do to the registry to get tfdetacher to work right on my vogue using NFSFAN'S V12 6.5 ROM

ok, i fixed my issue except im not using tfdetacher, instead i downloaded and installed Manila Control v1.0, went to config and selected manila 2d which fixed the right softkey on my touchflo today screen but not on the 6.5 side so i then got into my registry and changed these variables:
1. goto HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock
2.change SK2TEXT from "Set" to "TF2D." (no quote)
3.change SK2URL from ":MSCLOCK;AppRunToHandleNotification" to ":M2D_Ctrl" (no quote)
4. do a soft reset and everything works great
now all i need to do is figure out how to incorporate Weatherpanel 2009 in this equation, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Need help with new wm6.5 rom and S2U2

Hi there,
I just upgraded to a wm6.5 rom with s2u2 preinstalled, so I tried it and am pretty happy not having to search for the unlock button anymore.
I installed the tPRO2 skin and set the same wallpaper as in tf3d, so it looks a bit like part of the system.
I've still got two problems:
I'm used to do multitasking, for example when browsing with Opera I sometimes press the home key and start word mobile or such to look up passwords etc. Usually, I'd be able to switch back to the running opera with the tf3d task list, but on this rom, leaving an application immediately kills it. I made sure it's not just the tf3d task list by looking up the running programs with the wm task manager. When s2u2 kicks in, the running applications are left alone. Does anyone have an idea what causes the programs to be killed?
Second, I'd like s2u2 to only show the unlock bar instead of the tf3d slider. This way, it would look much more like a part of the system - is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit: the rom is NmLs v1.5.1, i just found out this is tf3d2 beta. haven't seen any changes so far, but the rom thread says so.

Better browser for 6.1? Or customizer for 6.5?

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.

Big Menu on soft-keys

When I was using Dutty's v3.9 XT it had nice big menus, when you click left or right-soft key (e.g. Contacts).
Now with Laurentius v3.55 I do not have this feature
I know that FingerSuite exists, but it does not look that nice.
Is there any cab to install to have big menus ?

Any suggestions ? Come on, guys
