hi, anyone know how to get programs to show up on the command bar for 2003se? i have a pick to give you a full understanding of what i'm taking about.
by the wifi and bluetooth on the bottom bar
How did you get them in the program bar in the first place? I'd like to have those shortcuts too.
Thanks, M
i'm trying to figure out how to do it myself. its from a guy that posted a review for the xda IIs and he had it on his phone.
Guys, read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34889&highlight=
I recommend you use phm tray launcher.

I don't see the point in having them there at all. Why not just put them in the start menu or SPB Pocketplus?
If its to monitor running progz fair enough, but for shortcuts it looks untidy and is bound to make the phone less stable, and lets face it, this phone doesn't need to be any less stable
Somehow SBP Plus seems to drain my memory, so I'm looking for alternatives & apperently PHM seems to use the relative empty programbar. I know it's not my home thread, but I stabilized my magician now & can explore new options.
Regards, M
phm is the way to go. here is were you can get it from

Got it, thanks. Will try it very soon as it is a msi & I'm not in the mood to use my desktop tonight.
Cheers, M
I lost this .cab for this app I got from one of Custels threads but for the life of me I cant find it again. I think it was called O2 or something that allowed you to have shortcuts on the Todays screen with tabs and I think it allowed you to end running programs also.
Anyone know where i can find it or whats its called?
Thanks

Sounds like O2 plus
Thanks for the quick reply but I dont believe thats it. The program allowed you to have app shortcuts for whatever you had loaded on your phone. It also allowed you to have these shortcuts seperated by tabs. choice of large or small shortcuts etc etc. The close software function was on the lower right corner and looked like a white ball and when you clicked on it it gave you the close apps or configuration options. Hope thats a bit more clear.
Does it look the third bit of the screen in this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1259295#post1259295
If so - that's O2 plus
If it is -- there's a download of the CAB later on in that thread - about 2 pages on
may be iLuncher?
O2Plusv2.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37720&d=1177340400
I think this is o2 plus, if you can wait till later I have a cab for version 2.3 which I use, it also allows profiles etc on today screen.
I do believe you are talking about SPB pocket plus.
This may be the one.
It was o2 plus... Thanks a million guys!
I know that 4.1 is only just out & I think it's brilliant. I'm spending every evening checking new posts and playing with my phone like never before. So, before the 4.1 thread becomes the next thread with 1200 posts, I thought I'd start a new thread for ideas for 4.2
Tom - before I found the magic that is B&B I was using Wisbar Advance desktop and an application called innesoft address book which had a great feature that when someone called you, their photo was displayed full screen with their name (see thumbnails) rather than just the standard windows window.
Any chance you could devlelop something similar for 4.2 !!!
Cheers

Here is something that may hold you over, I am still trying to figure out how to use the caller id without the actual slide to unlock, bit here is something to tide you over, jsut a thought
Have a pretty much full screen keyboard for texting in landscape mode? The text appears at the top?
Is there a way we can assign a button to lock the phone rather than go thruogh the menu?
Cheers
Anybody knows if it is legal to include trial versions of apps in cooked rom?
Was thinking rom with included sktools, english dictionary of some kind, IM+, resco explorer, spb gprs monitor included on rom would save time and space. Apps included would be trial versions and ppl haveing bought them could just enter activation keys/serials, others could buy app if thy liked it.

This would be a waste of time and energy for most, these Roms are made to be efficient, the least amount of space used so that you as an individual can place your desired programs, once a rom is built there is no removing/uninstalling of any apps, hence the reason to not put trial versions into a rom, I use several of the above mentioned, but to "Bloat" a rom with them would be ineffecient. Best thing to do is install on your sd card, keep all your initial install cabs in one folder and use that as your rebuild folder. Cheers.

Is it not worth remembering that everyone has a different list of killer apps they MUST have on their device?
If Tom & Meschle etc added every app - the rom would only just fit on a 40gb hard disk!!!
To my mind - the idea is that the cooked roms are a basis onto which you install your own apps to make your own device work?
Constanlty asking for new apps to be added to a rom just complicates the issue. Or am I wrong?
something so i can remotly use my desktop via PPC
then im complete
automated network setup like in the O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE rom
Extended timers & alarms application
I'd like to avoid installing SpbTime on each version
Great job!
OK, i agree, rom should be as slim as possible, but why the hell there is cube, psshutXP, PHM regedit/traylaunch, and office mobile on it then?
Could make an ultra lite wersion. (=
P.S. Dont get me wrong, i think 4.1 is great and it is a lot faster than O2. Just throwing around ideas about how to make it better.
with my original post, I was not really asking for a copy of the app, just would like a much bigger photo to pop up with caller id and liked the look of the inesoft one.
Tom - what do you think?
Just trying to make the ROM easier to use, more efficient.
B&B 4.1 is far better than original ROM from this point of view
TouchFlo for example helps to have everything we need with a single finger move..
Phone app is a lot more usable also.
Perhaps also the possibility to customize HTC Home by default, with more options (number of apps in the launcher, ..)
i don't think that is constructive to add as much apps, i can imagine, when it's released, everbody is shouting "this is not good" and "why did you use this app and not the other one"...and so one. I like it clear, not too much apps...but that's my opinion.
If i want it with all apps included then i start (to learn ) cooking my own ROM... IMHO i am very satisfied with the work that Tom is doing for us all. And 4.1 is just released. Enjoy it and let Tom make a break. He is hard working all the time!
Plugins for new version
Alarms extension (SpbTime style)
USB PenDrive emulator (WMstorage style)
Phone call recording (Audio Recorder style)
Thanks for B&B! Great job!
i have a great idea
Why dont we support Tom and all off his hard work and all the other wizards here, and stop complaining or asking for more.
like a bunch of kids in a sweet shop.
Improving File access
What I would like to see is the File Dialog Changer, I don't know who has heard of it but it is very good! Usually when you want to save files or open them in any application you get access to you My Documents folder. Only some smart apps like TCPMP and others have the option to access your entire pda.
File Dialog Changer changes the way you access your files in opening and saving them for every application, it's just 50 KB and you can activate / deactivate it in System Settings.

And about your wish I can only say that there is already Remote Desktop for WM6, I think I've downloaded it in the Wizard forum. Or use PocketVNC, that is the pda version for VNC. I am successfully using that with TightVNC on my computer. I just have to be in range of my WLAN and can turn on my computer by sending a wake on lan signal (not with vnc) and then access my computer through pocketvnc or access the files on my computer.

I think he had a point though. In the whole thread there is not one message of Tom Codon himself. Did you ask what he thinks? Maybe he has a few ideas of his own? After all, it will be his ROM...
Who says it will be B&B v4.2? Why not 4.3 or 5.0? If there will be another version let him take care of the numbers.
Can anyone reccommend any apps which dont necessarily serve a purpose but are just cool to have on the Touch HD? Things like the diamond hologram and the lightsaber? Thanks.
btw, im sure this has been posted many times before but in this thread we're looking for cool gadget-type apps as opposed to games or tools which are useful.:
Look for the hologram software prepared for the Diamond. It works on the HD but you cannot zoom in/out because of the lack of hardware keys.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450571
Thanks, but I kinda already mentioned the Hologram...
Sorry kinda skimmed through your post.
What about I Am Rich? Cloned from the famous iPhone app?
Also transfer some really high definition shots which are particularly in focus and sharp (|theres a difference|) and show em to people. Make sure they're bright too. The little HD screen is reall HD (high definition) in contrast to whats out there right now. Sure the Experia has the same screen resolution (480x800) but the screen is too small to actually allow one to enjoy the high resolution.
i always liked the guitar and piano tuning programe its freeware and always cool esp if your friends acan actually play and instrument. do a search its in the list of working programs
I lot of what you need is covered here in a similar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469782&highlight=demo
Ive already got some nice pictures to show off the HD, but thanks for the idea.
The thread was kinda helpful but towards the end made me feel as if i had chosen the wrong device (touch HD over iPhone) as, at the end of the day, im the type of person who wants an entertainment device as opposed to one gears towards productivity. The Touch HDs GPU doesnt help things either...
Anyway, back on topic, any other apps? Thanks for your help so far
well u already mentioned apps like diamond saber , diamond beer .
u can try omniano , if u havent already
other windows mobile apps like g alarm or g watch made by members here look cool on the big screen .
or i contacts / sms chat
cant think of more apps but u can edit touch flo 3d use transparent clock or different themes etc. or maybe winterface ... it looks good on the hd
Any more Apps?

That one was nice
I find the best way to show off the HD is to have a high resolution, high quality video, then play a bit of it to people. That gets wows! I've had mine since mid November and it still makes me go "wow" when I play videos encoded using the Encoder GUI from this forum!
That really does work better than it sounds. Thanks.
Any others?
Try MusicID - a guaranteed hit.
It used to be freely available, however there was some discussion whether it was freeware of shareware.
Music ID is awsome... I honestly dont know how I managed without it. Trying to recall half a lyric I thought I heard while I was drunk. I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago. It's still free as far as I know. Obviously it connects to the net to get the data, so if you're not on WiFi then you'll be charged by your network for data.
"quickmark" is good fun. (just mentioned it in another thread) It's a kind of barcode scanner, but only scans 2d barcodes. Still good fun, especially creating them for friends.
any others?
It's amusing to offer to save their internet connection, by setting up your WM phone as a Wifi router and allow them to use your connection.
Most amusing for iPod Touch users who don't have a data connection at all, but can use Wifi!
Hi,
I've noticed that the Manila 2.5 responds faster than the older versions - I mean the time needed to load the content of a tab after navigating to it. And I mean the time's shorter not on the HTC HD2 (that's obvious with the Snapdragon and ~450MB RAM), only on my Touch Diamond. I guess it's because HD2 has more RAM and the content of every tab is loaded to the memory at the start of Manila, not when navigating to it.
So my question is if it is possible to tweak Manila 2.1 to load the contents of each tab at the start of the system. I know it would consume more RAM, but it would be much, much faster.
I hope someone will be interested in this
Cheers,
Kamil

if the dll are modules then the page opens faster.
while cooking is the dll s are rec modded the the tab response is slower..
So it can be done while cooking a rom, right? Sorry, but I'm a noob in this topic It would be great to have the tabs respond faster, even if the memory usage would grow much!
Anybody's got another idea how to make the tabs open faster?
I've tried to make the sms tab load less messages, hoping that this would make it load faster ...but it did not help at all. It takes about 2,5 seconds to load the sms tab! I (and I guess that many other people) would be very happy to shorten that time - any ideas?
I'm also interested in this.. I use laurentius ROM on my HD which is the fastest I've ever tried, but switching between tabs still takes a few seconds which is really annoying!
I'm still trying to do something with the content of the tab showing up slow and I need some help. I partly understand what's happening on the release of the slider over a tab. The slider icon is moved (TabJumpTo function) and the Navigate function is activated - and here's the problem. There's a line:
Code:
_application.Navigation:Navigate(...)
What is _application? I've seen that you can set/get registry values thanks to this, but where is it defined?
What I want to do is load all of the tabs' content while loading Manila and set it to invisible. After releasing the slider over a tab, the content of the tab would be set to visible. I think this should work, but I need to know what is _application
I hope someone will be able to explain me! Thanks in advance.
I was looking for that too, but then I got an idea - the home tab is always preloaded, isn't it? at least it is faster than any other tab, so I guess yes. I did some small searching and I found something interesting: fakehome. I don't understand LUA well, but it seems that the home tab somehow uses something called fakehome to keep preloaded data and graphics. But I also may be completely wrong
It's good to see that someone is also interested in this topic Unfortunately, fakehome is a mode9 file and there's nothing important in it.
I solved the problem of the slow message tab. The reason why it was opening so long was the number of messages in my inbox - over 1600... Now I have about 50 and it's much faster.

Try to cook without HTC Task Manager....
Only MS Task Manager.
Would it really speed up Manila? I don't see any connection between these two things...
I also noticed the lag on the messaging app, and subsequantly deleted all my messages. However, ive accepted there is going to be lag with it and its just the trade off of running sense 2.5 on the touch pro 2.
Something ive noticed though is there a slight delay u get while scrolling sliding from the home tab on the tf3d to somewhere else, and how this lag aint there when starting from a different tab.
Is there any way to solve this and to make scrolling from the home tab quicker? Apart from this I am very happy with the new rom despite some hickups (which are to be expected due to the lack of snapdragon)
Really i don`t understand why you want app like this when you can do it without app hacks etc.
I know one things very easy and im doing it from 2 years since i have Blackstone
Example after rebot .. wait the whole OS to be loaded etc, once is loaded you click on everytab and wait for the animation, after you do this for all the tabs, they are NOW loaded in some cache and your Manila is faster.
All this take you around 5 Seconds and no need any App.
Also click once da dialer and close it ...this will help your dialer to open faster next time when you use it.

Yes, please! Anyone know how to speed up the slider when starting from the home tab? My slider is superquick starting from any other tab. There must be a fix as I've tried a few other ROMs and they seem to have gotten it worked out.
