Installing HTC Touch contact manager on Polaris

I've seen that HTC Touch's contact manager is far superior than one on Polaris (WM6 original) is there any chance to get it installed on Touch cruise?

Thanks

What the... It definitely looks better, especially the animations. The Polaris version uses the WM version with the random access (e.g. A to Z on the right of the screen) which isn't very handy in terms of NOT using the stylus.

Exactly that's why i love to replace the WM version...

Looks like PocketCM Contacts
You kind find it here http://www.pocketcm.com/contact.php
Also, pocketCM Keyboard is a must... works great and looks nice too
Plus, all of this is free (but you can, and will, donate to support this talented developper)

You mean that the one on the video is not an HTC application but pocketcm?
Does pocketcm has all the scrolling (IPhone like) features?

yes
At video are PocketCM i think ...

If you look at the notes (information) next to the movie, they also say that it's PocketM, so I think they mean PocketCM. If you look at the pocketcm website (as given by t.fabien), you see the same interface. So good luck installing pocketcm, since that's what you need

Has anyone gotten the chance to compare PocketCM with Vito's FunContact?
http://iwindowsmobile.com/contact-manager.html

i tested pocketcm and it works great ;-) It has a few color styles: black, white, blue, grey.
and it has also nice features like the sms history.

Installed both the PCM Keyboard and Contact on my HTC Touch Cruise and it works flawlessly with a lot of options. Install smoothly(used the CAB) and quite a lot better than what comes with the original ROM.

Trying both on my 750, I think FunContacts is alot more polished an application than PocketCM. I also found less issues with device locking with FunContacts. Since I am running a trial of FC, I get that little splash screen but otherwise it loads quite quickly. I only have a 100 or so contacts.

Which version of Open Touch is the fastest for the wing?

Hello. Like the topic said, which version of Open Touch came out to be the most reliable and fastest to run in the wing. I know that version 7.7 is out and I have tried it. Just wondering. The features that im looking for is the scrooling like an iphone. If im not mistaken, that's the Manilla 2d right? is not, what is the manilla 2d then and what is phonecanvas???
TIA

That all depends on the user, I have 7.4 lite and I love it better than all the others! If you are looking for something more like I phone you can flash the lite HTC home and install ifonez 1.1.2. Its a cool and very Iphone like. But like I said, Its all based on what you want out of your phone! The best thing to do is start in the Hacking Development section and just start installing things and trying them out. That way you get to know about your phone and its limitations! But most important, Read, read ,read! And dont be afraid to ask, we are here to help eachother! God bless.
Edit: Here you go, check this out...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656
And Phonecanvas is the dialer used in some of the opentouch ROMs.

awesom reply dude. Thanks a lot.

I agree with DashMaster2000.
Version 7.4 TouchFlo2D is (in my opinion) the best ROM.
You have a lot of free storage space and there are only a few minor bugs.
But nevertheless alor credits to ttran001. He did a hell of a job...

My Opinion is 7.7 lite!
It comes without compression, so you don't have so much space, but it is faster and has no Manila 2D installed, so you can decide wich Interface you want!
ruebyi

i think the open touch with spb shell is the fastest with overclock

i would reccomend grabbing either 6.5 lite with no spb nd no tf or 7.7 lite and trying out a few of the iphone type theme's. or grabbing ivan's clean rom. i am currently using 7.5.1 pro with the updated icontact and have yet to see a problem. i have around 23MB of memory free after a day or two though the memory leaks and goes down to 20ish.

Yeah, I'm using 6.5 lite and it seems to me the fastest out of the bunch. Just overclock and viola.

overclock?
whats the easiest way to overclock on one of these roms, it seems like batterystatus thats cooked into the rom would let you overclock but I have no idea how to use it, some helpful links or suggetsions?

Use omapclockplus. Do a search. the latest version is 0.0.4 or something like that. BatteryStatus doesn't work.

Tried all the others..and I keep going back to 4.0 biggy.

I say the best is 6.5. Tried 7.7 and my .exe's didn't work. Plus, 6.5 lets me instal the t-mobile_customizations and my mms pics are the ORIGINAL size and not some ****ty 160x160 thumbnail .
Use HomeScreen Plus Plus to overclock. It also underclocks when your phone is sleepong which saves battery power .

I thought batterystatus has the same feature too..
Anyway, the most stable and fastest ROM in my opinion are the ones with HTC home screens.. Version 4 and version 5
They are both loaded with application..
With version 5 you would need to do the MMS thingy but its not that hard

Batterystatus was great but ended up being to complex with to much crap arounfd its original feature... Omap is the best option... try to overclock and if the speed is fine and as long as you have no surprise for a few hours, register the new speed so it is permanently set on your machine until a hard reset or a new flash...

Homescreen Plus Plus = Battery Status, theyre the same exact thing
but i think 7.5 Biggy is the best, im currently usinig 7.7 but its freezes too often. But im too lazy to reflash it so im waiting for ttran

Another vote for 6.5
The "black lite" version, with no touchflo or anything else. Lately I haven't even been running batterystatus/homescreen++ and the speed is fine, I might try omap soon.
For what it's worth, this seems to be the fastest, and most stable, plus I love the start menu using quickmenu, I'm very fast with it.
Another feature I recommend is the simple HTC home plugin for the today screen. It comes with the weather screen and launchers, photo dialer, etc. I also downloaded weatherbug for the today screen which has notified me three times this week of national weather service alerts in my area (very cool)
I used to hate iContacts, but the newer versions are much improved, and I like it now.
This is the most stable one I found when using a few gps programs simultaneously.
Hope it helps.

yea i agree that 6.5 lite is the fastest..ive tried every open touch rom and 6.5 is the most fastest to me

[REQ]Smart Zone Interface from Gigabyte S1200 and

Hey guys this just came out from the barselona (sorry typo) but I just had to show everybody this new UI from Smart Zone. Its a really nice interface and is put together very well. If any body has any connect please extract it once it comes out so we can get hard at work porting it.(vga, qvga, wvga etc) happy hunting. video link here i wish there was a way to stick this but the mods will decide.

I really love that interface!!!
Can anyone get this one to my HTC Diamond? That would be great.

Looks quite nice but doesn't appear to be stable yet

Pretty cool! Hope somebody can get their hands about this baby!

yeah I noticed it froze at the end, but when they came out with tf3d it still had bugs and continues to have bugs. I would preffer to have this ui since im no to fond of the honey comb and tf3d is really primitive to other phone ui. I just so annoyed on how slow it is.

I thick the interface was made by flash.

you are correct sir

i hope somebody dump it

If we had a decent fullscreen flash today plugin or "player", we could have this and much more for any of our devices...
The problem is also the older device's video drivers speed and CPU, on 400mhz is still slow. And flash will always be a battery-hog.
Throttle launcher's flash compatibility is good, but it has much more stuff than its required for this.

New 1.5 ROM being built---I need your ideas!

Hey guys, I'm creating a rom, but I have to be honest: I need ideas on what to include. All I know is I'm thinking about basing it off Gumbo 1.5c (The FASTEST rom out there), because I hate slow phones. Also thinking of names for it...how's Pancake sound? Fits in with cupcake, donut, etc...
What do you guys want in a ROM?
What bootscreen is good for it? Should I use the N1 boot screen? If anyone feels like making one, I'll be happy to include it!
Which apps are a must for any ROM?
Is Pancake a good name for it?
Thanks for answering in advance, I want to try to make a ROM adjusted to what the fourm would want.
After I get some responses, I'll create the ROM.

See if you can get mobile network sharing to. Work without the race condition

Can you include a spoon, a pair of scissors, a fish scale, and a can opener.....?

Well what consider a must have is the quickboot app and the mount usb app that gbill included in his roms..... of course wireless tether , also gbill's custom kernal
Other then those everything else I use is in the market

Check this out.
I would consider making almost the same as stock ROM with all the apps and features. But here are some changes to be made:
1) Theme, here is my old phone and developers create much better stuff for it than any developer for Hero.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619980
Also, include new sense UI look (Not like the stock). Dark Black background always good.
- Include icons from 2.1 Android.
2) Youtube App, needs to be fixed
3) Make sure Flash works in Browser (Most of the ROMS, FLASH works half way--go to HTC.com and see if shows the page)
4) Include all of the hacks for speed as well as APP2SD.
Okay, great... That's all for now. I will let you know if I think of anything else.

Okay, well, I will try to get the icons for android 2.1, apps2sd will be enabled, the youtube app I will look at, but I'm not sure what I can do about that. I can't do anything about flash, as the hero includes flash player lite, not 10. I will include it when there is flash player 10 for android, but for now I can't do anything for it.

If you want a grill, just run wireless tether for awhile, flip over your phone and cook right on the back of the battery cover. It'll be hot enough.

Okay guys, I'm going to start making it, just missing two things I need to know: Should I include HTC sense and also, what bootscreen should I do?

do the digital rain boot that one is fun, would go with sense it has better widgets

How about this: I make two versions. One with sense and one without. I have to tell you though, that the version of sense I'll put on will be optimized and fast.

Make sure it's a new theme Sense UI ... with squared buttons on the bottom not round!

Updated Video: Trigger V2.1.1

Thought some of you may like to see this amazing ROM in action:
Edit: watching this from your phone, watch from the embedded video. Mobile youtube doesn't show annotations, which I prefer.
Update V2.1.1 video added:
http://goo.gl/f9s65

in the videos you should start talking the song is annoying as hell for me since i'm a teen and i'm used to some rock lol.
Muted it and put on some eminem (cool kid yeah!)

I do that because "I Found my Baby".... the rom. Grow up and listen to real music every now and then, it wont hurt. I'm 30.

My suggestion was for you to talk, instead of annotations, yet you tell me to grow up.
What does growing up have anything to do with liking which kind of music?
you like that kind, sorry i can't tell what it is, i like rock, pop, rap etc.
Grow up and learn to accept that all people aren't the same.
Definition of music: an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner
Yeah i'm sure rap has that, oh look, so does rock omg.
I guess every music is "real"

you said the song was annoying as hell... for you... b/c you were a kid.... hence what i said. Talk about the video/rom.... leave music out of it. FYI, non-teens like rock too....

Either way, that rom looks great and thanks for putting up a quick overview for us to see.

Honestly, bionix was a big improvement over nero, for me... And this just seems SO much better. Again, everyone is different and I really like team whiskey and huge fan of Master..

All the roms since nero 5 have improve on gps, speed, and data. That alone is enough to change rom. I've always found the TW releases to be very underwhelming to the eyes. Ugly black and green. Trigger looks terrific and performs like a champ. Great work edt.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

^ pretty much exactly my thought

How could anyone be annoyed by that music? That does look very sweet. Now let me read the whole thread and see what I'm looking at.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.

^ they just released V2.1... I'm holding off until all the mods are updated (today/tomorrow) b/c I just love the semi-accurate battery mod that much... also, not sure how the rom could really be improved much to be honest.
edit, thought of one thing... seems like all froyo roms recently are limited to 4 windows in the browser, not sure why this is.

Who's the artist? Sounded a bit like Ray Charles then he did some George Benson type guitar scat? I watched on YouTube mobile so no notes, just to be sure this is what rom? PS can't you just use the battery mod app or theme the battery icon through metamorph?
