iPhone for PPC - Which is the best one?

I have been using Slide2Unlock on my WM6 Hermes now for a while and have really gotten to like it, so much that I want the iPhone look and feel on my PPC.
I have seen a few around but then seem parts of the full package. Is there one particular one that seems the best all rounder?
I came across this one but haven't tried it yet:-

I would like a version that has the iPhone dialler but needs to have the smart dialler functionality so that names come up when I type numbers etc..
I would also like to continue to use Slide2Unlock
Also, I would like the icons on the today screen etc...
Can you please point me in the direction of a good version.
Many Thanks
Mark

Hermes with Touch ROM?

Please look at this:
http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=0i_etWRPijM
How is this possible? Which ROM is that?
Thank you very much for your response

Any ideas guys?

Hi,
this is a Hermes Rom with elements of Touch.
wfg
Starbase64

think this is the newest one,
someone correct me if i'm wrong

But the Cube in this video is is full 3D with contact's picture real time rendering....
And how about scrolling Settings & Programs with a finger? My FTouchFlo doesn't do that

Look similar to Slither2006's HTC Cube OpenGL (SCLPC++ 0-051)(Coded from scratch in C++) , perhaps?

My opinion is, that this is only usage of existing elements ported from Touch and Kaiser - S2U2, HTC Home, FTouchFLO + SCLPC++, Pocket CM Contacts etc.
For me is also FTouchFlo working with finger, it is about correct gesture a presure. Using all these features except Pocket CM and it is working similar.
On this preview is missing f.e. HTC Large Start Menu and other minor portations as Random Access...

Very Cool !
I must say the customisations this guy showed off in the video are super cool. I havent seen this version of the cube anywhere. Not sure how he was using the full page scroll function and other smooth animations either. Wish there was some way of contacting the chap who posted it to ask him what applications he was using.
Anyone with any knowledge please enlighten us !
Cheers.

He confirmed with me today it is Slithers....

I've installed it today... Looks great but the configuration is horrible

Is is possible to do multi-touch in HD??

Is is possible to do multi-touch in HD?? Coz if it is possible, it would be excellent. Getting better than iphone OS

In short, no.

Thats not correct because somewhere here on the forum I have seen a gameboy emulator software for the Touch HD with Multitouch support and all people says there that it works perfect!
If I´ve time I´ll look for a link to this thread later!

There are some pseudo multi-touch apps out there that mimic the effect of multi-touch:
basically if you pressed both edges of the screen windows records a keypress somewhere in the middle
so if you had a four way d-pad arrangement with a couple of fire buttons you can 'sort of' emulate multi-touch by capturing a press that registers inbetween say the up and fire button.
see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489147
i have even managed to reproduce this simple behaviour in a .net test app.
i also read an article where the hardware of the G1 (yes i know that not a touch HD) was multi-touch capable but the device driver for the screen was not and some clever chappy was attempting to write a driver that would give the point pressed and a radius allowing the 'pinch' style zoom gesture of the fruitPhone.
and if you google for that there are several other even more successful attempts at bringing multi-touch to the G1.
it seems that with that phone the initial limiting factor was actually the OS not supporting multi-touch
winMo also does not support multi-touch....
so this begs the question is the HD hardware capable with a little device driver / OS hacking ???????
anyone????

The game emulator only simulates multi-touch by averaging the point between your two touches. So touching the left side of the screen and the right side of the screen registers as touching in the middle of the screen.
This works for the game emulator (Morphgear is the one they've done this with) because you can make virtual game pads that have hidden buttons. So touching on the virtual up button and touching the virtual A button registers as touching in between them allowing you to have a hidden virtual button at that spot that does the up+jump action.
It's not real mutli-touch, but very well done and handy for that specific purpose.
edit: Beat me by seconds, purec0de

silf there is the search function anyway eh

I know that it is kinda possible, but you've all said "emulates" & "simulates". Thus it not true multi touch like the iphone.
Please remember this is the same guy asking if we can install OSX on the touch HD.

So far, the answer is a simple "no" (e.g.: ditto to jake_tenfloors)
Remember that the HD has a resistive screen whereas the iPhone has a capacitive screen.
There are rumours of companies developing drivers and software packages to get a true multi-touch for resistive screens, however, Windows Mobile 6 (including 6.1, 6.5) doesn't have support for multi-touch.
So unfortunately for us HD users (or Diamond or devices without hardware buttons), we'll have to make do without.

why would you want to install osx on the hd. would you not just buy an iphone or as so perfectly described in a previous post, fruitPhone.

No, however I made proof of concept software which emulates some multitouch features on any single touch screen. You can zoom in/out by pinching as well as rotate objects. It can also recognize whether you are touching with just one finger or two. So for example you can pan picture around with one finger and skip to next picture if you drag it with two fingers. This is not hw specific and works on ANY single touch device, including touchpad on your laptop and various touch screen computers.

any chance of posting this for us to play with??

+1 I too would like to have such a thing, even if its only for album.

hi mate i agree with purec0de...is there a chance of posting this simply because it sounds like a very nice piece of software and we would be very grateful if you choose to share it.
thx in advance if u plan to post

I too wrote a limited multitouch (MT) demo but the problem was how to map it into existing programs... there are no standard event handlers for MT in current WiMo... this changes with WiMo 7.0 next year. Bottom line you can write a custom application that does a pretty good job of acting like its MT but it is a stand-alone application (read: does not integrate with HTC Album etc)

Please post this multitouch Demos... it would be realy nice to test it

Tasks on lock screen app

I was looking for some sort of a solution of this with no luck, any tips welcome.
Basically what I was looking for was an app or a tweak which would show TASKS on the lock screen (the screen when phone is locked and you have to use for example a slider (Miri rom) to open it) since there is so much empty space and there is no reasonable way to put the tasks on Today screen.
Any ideas and tips very much appreciated.

hmm, i think S2U2 is capable of doing this. it is a free screen locking application.
according to the changelog here:
http://htcwinmobile.blogspot.com/2009/06/acs-s2u2-v201.html
it is capable of doing it, but i've just had a quick look in the applications settings (i have it installed) and can't seem to find the option, but it would be worth a try

S2U2 does show tasks icon the lock screen but it is only a figure(how many tasks are scheduled). If you use the appointments these will show as full descriptions, until completed, and you can have up to 7 appointments over a number of weeks (I think its about 4 weeks).Really good and I have no problems on Duttys Rom 6.5 R11

thanks for the handy pointers, will give it a try.

hmm, so I've tried that and I'm not very impressed. I'm not particularly keen on the whole S2U2, seems a bit cumbersome and overall like an "i" wannabe... there is somewhat the option of displaying the tasks on the lockscreen but as far as I'm concerned there is no way of removing the whole S2U2 interface and keeping just the tasks..which is, ultimately, what I'd want.
Thanks for the tip anyway but don't think this is gonna work.
Can't believe I'm the only one trying to get this sorted(!), it is such a fundamental thing to see tasks frequently without having to access something..even my old N95 did that right.
Anyway, if anyone knew about something, give us a shout.
Cheers

For years (!) I wanted to have my tasks on todayscreen (and/or on lock screen). I never understood why this was possible only on oldschool-WinMobile-todayscreen WITH special programs (SPB Diary). I believe it's a BASIC feature - and like you I asked myself if really noone needs this?
After getting my new Touch HD I love to have a stylish todayscreen - but I hate not to see appointments/tasks (neither with manila nor winmobile 6.5-today).
So if there is ANY solution: YES I want it too!

I could have probably lived with S2U2 as long as the tasks would be at least showing by themselves rather than you having to press & hold on the icon
...that's like as close it gets to the desired result...future s2u2 update might fix that but again, you have to get the whole app (for locking) to get this small, though very important feature... kinda disappointing...

I`d also like having task on today or lock screen as old non colour Windows CE devices did. Why had disappeared? I don´t know and I can´t understand. I hope somebody can help us.

I want it too please. I would like something like Lockinfo for the iphone.

[HELP!] Reduced Sensitivity Of Touch Screen - Touch Pro2

Hello to you all,
I really need help regarding the touch screen of my HTC Touch Pro2, which has lost its former sensitivity for some time now. I now need to apply more pressure on it to have it respond. As a result, the touch screen is getting all scratched!
I've made extensive research on the subject right here on the forum and else where as well; however, nobody seems to have the solution for the Touch Pro2.
Following are the actions I tried to take, which were unfortunately to no avail:
- I downloaded and installed an application called iTouch, which can be found on the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469865
- I tried to edit my phone's registry as suggested by several posts I have read. The files whose values I was asked to change are:
(i) HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/PressureThreshold. The value has to be set at 80866 (using decimal, not hex).
(ii) HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure. The value has to be set at 1 (using decimal, not hex).
Also, I'm currently running on Windows Mobile 6.5 and it is my guess that editing...TFLOSettings/FingerPressure is not making any difference in the sensitivity of the touch screen because my user interface in HTC Sense 2.5.
Sorry for the long post and your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Why is nobody helping me?
Please, I need your help.
Thank you very much!

Hello,
I would suggest simply running the screen calibration again and pressing very lightly the screen when asked to.
This will change the registry values to the appropriate ones.

The values you edited are the right ones for the pressure sensitivity of the device. Make sure you restart the device after applying them. If they make no difference, then there make be a problem with the digitizer. In that case, you might want to look into a warranty replacement, if you have that option. If not, digitizers and their instruction kits go for about $50-80 on eBay.
