What's Theme is Best for the Samsung I760

I'm tryng to find the best setup for my phone I like the iphone theme but I want something more stable. Any Ideas
try the htc cube and htc home screen
Thanks I will give them both a try.
I tried to use HTCCube FTouchFlo TFloCubeCtrlv110 Config with HTC_Audio_Manager 1.02 but I got a error saying ftouch is not installed but it is I turned it on top of that I don't see nothing is happing please help me get this up and running.
try the point UI. combined with pocket cm. it will change the "feel for your phone". As for the cube its more of a novelty and its fun to show friends what the phone can do, but i couldnt get all the functions/buttons working with any of the versions.

Ok I got SCLPF 1-62 Uno working my only question is how do I make the touch more sensitive I can scroll perfect with my stylus but not that good with my finger. And Is there a way to add programs like icontact or HTC Album in HTC CUBE icons.
Installed HTC.Home.v2.1.1005.722 on the i760
I have it check in my today screen list, but it doesn't appear. Any ideas?
its a .dll you need to drop into your windows dir.
Search for HTC HOME + .dll
where is this home dll?
I download / installed JUVS HTC Home.v2_1_1005722_s0
description said it should have a dll, which it doesn't
Other Options...
May not be exactly what you are looking for, but this is what I use:
Ultimate Launcher
Battery Status
Weather Panel
HTC Dialer
PocketCM
Then I create custom today, HTC Dialer, and PocketCM themes to make the look and feel the same for all screens. Take a peek and some of the screen shots in the pshades link in my sig. It isn't iPhone, it isn't Cube, but it is finger friendly, clean, and consistent.
Got it working.
How do you change from C to F for the temp though?
Battery status, that a plugin for HTC?
i760 customization

Without a doubt, try Wisbar Advanced Desktop latest beta. It is fantastic. It allows complete customization of the today screen to make it look exactly like the iphone if you desire. It is also very fast, it allows virtual pages, custom notifiers, etc. I have an iphone-like theme that has for instance a link to a picture speed dial page, weather virtual page, etc.
I'm currently using UltimateLaunch (don't know how many times I've suggested it since the purchase), it's amazing a very easy to customize, check out the sticky post. Or you could use poorlyduck's Vista Suite.
i have a question, i downloaded ul and i am trying to figure of just how you get all the info on different screens so i can use my finger to change screens.
thanks

Enlarged start menu - tips and help!

Hi, I'm in need of a working "enlarged start menu"-application on my SE X1. The thing is that I really much need it to be freeware, and I suppose that "XDA-Team Enlarged Start Menu" isn't (correct?). I'm thinking about developing the application myself, but I would like to know if anyone here has any information about where to start? Is is just a matter of changing some registry keys? XML-files? Thankful for all the help i can get!
as far as i understand, the XDA Enlarged Start Menu is just taken from one of the other HTC devices and is not "payware" or anything like that.
if anyone was developing an enlarged Start Menu, i'd love to see a kinda fullscreen version, this would make it much easier to navigate. kinda in the style of iContact or the latest volume control taken from Diamond. i don't really se why the start menu needs to be only a percentage of the screen size anyway, just seems like bad design, they've made it look like the Start Menu on a Windows Desktop PC so that we all know it's Windows, but have not actually thought about the interface being user friendly for a handheld device. for drunk people with fat fingers. like me.

yes man, I absolutely agree !!! It´s funny, I never really thought about start menu, but now when I read your suggestion it just seems really crazy how much possibilities for improvement there are.
I thought about a completely customizable start menu, fullscreen.
Maybe with a kind of plugin system, volume / vib toggle, backlight strength slider, power off+soft-reset buttons....*sigh* THAT would be cool !

Martin
What about Touch Launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433862
It´s a normal app, but I was talking about a REAL replacement. It should hide when I tap "Start" again, and, as I said, it should be really customizable.
To all devs out there: Is anyone interested in coding such an app ? I think this is desperatly needed to make WM a bit more usable, although there are already tons of good software out there.

Martin

Did u try Quickmenu 2.7?

hmmm, main thing i want is fullscreen. that one seems nice feature-wise, but it's not what i'm after.
devs, do any of you know how they changed the size of the Start Menu from the old style to the new enlarged one?
if we know how to do this then maybe we can hack the existing app to at least lengthen right across the width of the screen... or if it was hacked with a config we could pick how many items we wanted...
this could be a great project for the coders!

Well, quickmenu is _almost_ perfect. If it only was more finger-friendly. Being able to scroll trough menus like in icontact and all so many other apps would be great for it, but at least having twice as big menu entries would be enough in most cases. It has all the features needed, it just mimicks the original start menu a bit too much
Touch menu from touch commander suite is exactly what you want,and it has and application menu enlarged. Unfortunaly its not freeware.
Here is little something about system fonts:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901091.aspx
By changing some registry values you can change size of start menu (including font size etc.) and popup menu as well.

Ohh thankyou! But, using PHM Regedit I've tried changing the Ht-value for BarFnt, which didn't do anything. Perhaps you have some pointers to what I should try?

BarFnt values are for menu bars (for example: bottom bar in total commander).
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt
is for popup menu (screen 1 shows Ht value of 1200)
Truly, I don't know how to change start menu font size via registry.
If you want to have full screen menu try mort buttons
can you launch mort buttons by tapping Start on the screen?
maybe by editing the registry ?
If anyone can duplicate the Touch Commander one it would be perfect. I have touchcommander but do not use it anymore, unfortunately you have to install the whole program to be able to use the Large menu option.
The great thing about it is it enlarges menus in all programs.
Sorry for bringing up an older thread, but I think this is still unsolved!
I also would like to have a fullscreen start menu. I tried quickmenu 2.8,but it just isnt what Im looking for. For me it would be fine if clicking on the start menu would bring up a dialog like when you click startmenu -- programs.
Hope that someone has an idea!
QUICKMENU 2.8 for me too... ^_^
I'd only add that scroll movement and ability to customize the start icon (it already does this, but only with one icon).

[REQ] People Tab Alternative

Hi all
I tried to search, but i didnt find anything.
I dont like the "people" tab, where i have to scroll trough my favorite contacts. I would prefere, i could directly access to the favorites contact, without scrolling (like the programm tab or like the action screen).
But i still want to keep TF3D...
Do anyone has an idea or knows how to solve this issue?
Thx mates,
gt
i dont know how to solve this but this is what i did
i installed icontact and i have it maped on the right softkey at the home tab.
it opens very fast, looks nice and is very finger friendly. There is a favorites tab as well but it does take 2clicks (1open icontact, 2 click on favorites) so not exactly direct
hope this helps
Thx Giannis86
Sounds good for me. Still much better as the actual solution.
I will give it a try...
actually i do have an idea now..
i just spent some time modding the actionscreen skin. I think it would be possible to fix the shortcuts to a contact (i need to do some research on how to do this ofc)
so, IF this is possible, you could have 9 contacts showing at the same time (i suppose more is possible if you made the icons smaller but its a lengthy process)

there is a program i used some time ago while making a theme for battery status that enabled me to dial from shortcuts.
usage:
dial.exe xxxxxxxxxxx
but it would require some aditional tool to configure, or some text editing.

I would also prefer something like this. Instead of People just have a tab called "Contacts" and you can scroll up and down with the TF3d movability instead of going into the actual contacts program which is so slow.
What about to port people tab from m2d?

Any solution for this request?!
I've found the easiest solve to this is to use iContacts Burt Edition 6.4.5 and map it to the right or left softkey on the homescreen. Then get TF3D config and remove the People tab fom manilla. You can set favorites with photos in icontactBE and you can configure it to open directly to the favorites list first with the iContact Config. tool.

At the moment am using Resco Contact Manager. I think it's really not bad, but there are many thing included, it isnt just a replacement for the people tab.

Settings link to standard Windows settings screen

When HTC Sense is enabled the "settings" link in the program screen is linked to the settings tab/pane in HTC Sense. When Sense is turned off in the Today-settings, the same link points to the standard setting screen of windows mobile.
What I want is to make the "settings" link in the program screen to point directly to the standard windows settings (used to be "control panel), or better yet: a standalone HTC settings app then can run outside the Sense environment.
Why? I want to turn of the settings tab in the HTC Sense interface. Something that easily can be done by editing the registry. This way I can manage to minimalize the amount of tabs to 5. Just enough to prevent the disorienting scrolling to the left and the right when selecting a tab.
Can it be done? Is there an easy way to open the windows settings screen while Sense is enabled?
Thanks
You should try BsB Tweaks, one of it's options does just that.

For who wants to know:

Setting Enable to 0 hides the Settings panel in Sense.

BsB Tweaks does much more than just this.....Just check out the page and you will find that BsB Tweaks is a MUST HAVE App
Besides lots of tweaks it also makes it easy for you to Add Rotation for programs that do not automatically rotate, and/or add Pinch-to-zoom for programs that by themselves do not support pinch-to-zoom.
If you don't want to install the app, you could ask makeveral how he does the settings Tweak (I wouldn't know).

Set this to zero:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo:HideSettings
and reset.
But there will be two identical icons for Settings after this. You can delete settings.lnk from the Start Menu to get rid of the HTC Settings.

That's fantastic. Now do you have any idea how to create a quicklink to the new windows settings? Can't find it for the life of me...
yes. noob here. All the *setting*.ink's i can find lead back to the sense settings, or handle different/specific settings entirely.

- Change LCD density ( select new one and folio reboot with the new one, the trick is not permanent )

would a value of 255 (ff) not do it? at least make then incredible unresonsive or?
i will check the kernel registers if we got some other bit's to modify so we can disable them..
btw,
looks like Malata actually took Honeycomb 3.0 solutions into account here buttonwise.

here is your fix , you asked for:
here is the command to disable light buttons completely (will enable after a poweroff)
DISABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8800 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
ENABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8801 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
Requested by user, not my idea here. but probably very handy with AndroidOS 3.0 when its out. (good for TntMod as they got buttons on screen)
thank you Dexter
Sol Ido, is it possible to add this trick in your next release ?
