wisbaradv2

hi,i found this WisBar is the leading task management software(skinable)
for the PocketPC and i ve tired it.its really cool.
so i just wanna share with u guys and hope u like it

Wowsers - Just added it to my MDA3.. Look fab!
Thanks for sharing!

Wisbar is good, but slows down my BA alot. It tends to mess up quite alot too. Like sometimes certain bubbles won't open. Also, the alert icon isn't specific (ie. no way of telling whether you have a missed call/message/low battery/GPRS connection just by looking)
I find that you spend as much time double checking things using wisbar as you would just closing all the apps separately.

wisbar is a great skinning program but not a very good task manager.
i am actually waiting for the version that disables all features except for the skinning ability.
this is actually a frequently requested add-on

I tried this and it killed my ringtone. I could not tell when someone rang me it did not even show up a missed call is this common or just me?

you have to get the latest version. go to the lakeridge site and enter the forum.there you will find the latest build that works.

currently i'm using wisbar advance 2.4.1.8 along with wisbar advance desktop beta .07
It's running pretty stable and it takes less memory usage than spb pocket plus.
here's some screenshot of wad

Wow, seriously guys, i think this wisbar adv. v2 is kinda cool, i mean there is so much more you can do with it than what u normally can with default ppc software, i got a m2000 and it works well. It used to lock up forcing soft resets really often, but now i upgraded to v2.4.1.8 and i cant even remember when last it locked up.
I really think this is a program worth getting...
well done to Chris McKay and Lakeridge Software for this awesome program...well done guys

Enchanced Contacts?

I've had a play with PocketCM, but really don't like the way it takes over SMS functionality. I also lookaed at iContact, but it's too raw.
Today I've come accros Vito FunContact which seems just about perfect - I need something useable with one finger in the car (and I don't like paying for stuff!)
Anybody got any other suggestions or thoughts?

oye Tangerine.....lot of fingerin' issues going on here...better not to use the w*** word!
Who likes to pay for anything?

The SMS stuff in PocketCM can be disabled. Have a look at www.pocketcm.com and look for posts on "settings.ini"

I did - but apparently it doesn't work properly... FunContact seems very good at first glance.

Try Sunnysoft Contacts. Very nice multilingual contact manager.

Try Spb Pocket Plus 4.0
From www.spbsoftwarehouse.com you can obtain this program wich now enables scroll directly form the contacts default aplication.

Tried it - touchscroll lets you scroll teh default contacts too... the problem with default contacts is that its too small to use one handed with your finger... I think I'm going to stick with FunContact for now...

[REQ] Disable hardware buttons on incoming calls while keeping HTC's answering GUI

Hello,
I've been searching for a while, but there are no way to disable the Hardware Answer/Call Off buttons on incoming calls, while keeping HTC'slider (which is perfect for me) and without doing triple tap tricks or complex slides combinations...
s2u2, PocketShield, TouchLockPro, LockMeLite and ThrottleLock's developpers release great and very complete apps, but I don't use use the screen lock functions, because it never happens to me that the power button was being pushed when I put the phone on my pocket, so that would be a useless lost of time to lock/unlock the screen with an app.
All I need -and I've seen that I'm not alone- is an app which only lock the hardware keys on incoming calls w/o doing/adding any other stuffs.
It would be great that a developer could do that, and be sure that I 'd be the first to make him a donation!!!

Anybody...?

The fact is that I'm sure it can be done, because PocketShield and s2u2 do this very well (locking hardware buttons on call), but they both add an answering interface wich does not add anything to HTC's interface and does not offer the possiblity to desactivate the ring.
The soft that we're looking for would be extremley light 'cause locking keys on call does not require any ressources, so that wouldn't involve any battery drain, neither any memory consuming... in one word : a must!!

Software like that would be great. However it should have one important option included, that is auto-unlock hardware keys for the headset when connected otherwise the headset answer button will be useless. Is there anybody willing to spend some of their precious time to create this excellent app for us???

Yeah excellent remark! I think we've got our requirements document ^^

I was searching for exactly the same!

Maybe it's possible to find what changes happen in registry when you set up pocket shield to disable answering by hardware keys and then just apply does to registry without installing any program ...or maybe it just a matter of creating some script for mortscript that would block hardware keys on incoming call with exception for headset connected?
Is there anybody here more knowledgeable than me who could do that or create a better solution?

I am interestet for a solution too...

+1
interested also...

It's a good start! I have Araxis Merge which is able to do powerful file comparisons. All we need is a tool to extract the whole registry as a simple file in order to compare the one created before with the one created after a pocketshield/s2u2 installation+configuration.
Do you know if this type of soft exists?

I found this little advice in Blackstone ROM section maybe this will help you export registry files for comparison. It is a part of Ugumba post #5 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485542
To figure out the registry settings for a certain program or option, there are two ways:
- manual search, typically fast and has a very high success rate by first visiting HKLM\Software and HKCU\Software, then looking for the vendor or software name.
- registry diff, slow but very accurate, requires PC (for now). Export HKLM+HKCU (using multiple select in Resco regedit) *before* you make the configuration change, and *after* you've made the change. Copy the two reg files to a PC and do a diff (WinMerge should do a good job). Alternatively, you can use a Windows tool like Registry Workshop or CeRegEditor to export the registries, but I think the first way is faster, and you can actually prepare the exports on the move, then do the diffs when you come home.

I m also interested her, I looked I did not find anything

Good idea, i'd like to have a solution, so....

Keep watching the LmL (LockMeLite) for feature releases.
If you notice the No 11 of the USER REQUESTS you will see the feature you want!
I believe very soon LmL will make you happy

Good news!!!!
We are counting the minutes!!
(Edit: I was reading LockMeLite thread)
But looks like your app is for a lot more thank locking hardware buttons on an incoming call.
It show unread sms, mail, etc and locks the screen as well, and not only when you receive a call.
I think that we all are asking for is an app that ONLY lock the hardware buttons ONLY while an incoming call is in progress.

Replace touchflo calendar

Hey guys, anyway to replace the calander that touchflo redirects you to? So for example when you click on the home screen appointment, it takes you to WM calander, I want to to go to thumbcal.
Thanks.
Also anyway to change the opera version that launches from touchflo internet tab?
I want 9.7 to come instead of 9.5.
Thanks.

That's exactly what I want 2....
But in my case, i want to use Pocket Informant as default calendar...
Does someone know a solution or reg edit to change the program that will use while making an apointment?
thanks in advance!
Ranney

Bump please? I found SMOpa or something, but it cant replace the calender. Thanks.

Man - I ALMOST like the Tf3d2 calendar. I still use MTP to run PocketBreeze in a tab, but if the calendar had
1) More info per item without opening it - maybe even a click once to expand to show all info and description, twice to open in MS Calendar...
2) Week view
3) Color Categories, or another way of visualising
4) Include tasks on the day page
...I'd be using it exclusively

anyone knows how to link it to Pocket Informant please??

Bump.. I too use Thumcal.... I like tf3d calendar for viewing info... but want to open thumbcal to make new appointments etc..
I checked in the hkeylm-software-htc-manilla-item 5 is the calendar
but no clear way to change where it directs you....

^^^^ THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO!!
The most I can do is when you click the no appointment thing on homescreen it will take you to thumbcal, BUT if you have an appointment it will open it in Windows Mobil calendar!!
Anyone know if you can skin the windows mobile calendar?

Yes I know what to do.
Start complaining at HTC about this. TouchFlo doesn't use the registry to ask for the default (calendar) application. TouchFlo is hard programmed to use the Windows software, in this case the calendar.
To get this changed in the way it should work..... HTC has to do the work!

maybe we can use vjbrisk I'll have a look at it later!

Has anyone had any success?
Id do this myself if I had a clue...but I dont. Any gurus out there have any ideas? Or is this simply not possible?

bump
I hate to beat a dead horse, but has anyone figured this out? It seems like this would be a bigger, yet simple fix than most of the other tweaks out there already. any help towards such a tweak would be greatly appreciated.

like you,i hate this calendar as well,it's very rustic design,i want to remove it from the Today desktop,replace it with other better-looking calendar,but holy ****,after lots of research,the conclusion is that this calendar is built within Touchflo3d scripts (called inbedded),even tweaking registry cannot remove it!
So forget this tempt. give up. i am trying to see other better Today program to replace this goddamned touchflo3d.

Contact manger app & manila?

Seems the TP2 (stock roms, touch flo enabled) uses some new contact manager app?
So is there a way to make manila use the gold old WM6 contacts instead of the one it uses by default?
Please, Im not the only person looking for this.
I have been looking in HKLM-software-htc-manila and cant find anything yet. but there surely is a way to point the manila to the older type contacts app?
thanks
PS this is for us people who use this more business setting I guess. (or are old like me and dont like change?) Anyway, I have contacts grouped by Company, which is handy as hell & I dont need facebook. Please help us.
My solution would be that you start to make a call, hit green call button, hit the "contacts" soft button or whatever at the bottom, which would open the older type contacts, just like you had clicked on Start-All programs-contacts.
Thanks in Advance for any help or hints...

I have a real problem with the contact manager that this phone offers, i had to remap the button to bring the up other version , but still sucks for business use..so i loaded Pocket informant which helps but with out aD pad it is not as easy to use...got to find a solution for this, love the phone but one handed usage is very important and may drive me back to my old Tilt
