For Those Who Wanted An iPhone ROM, Heres A CAB That Should Do Most Of What You Want.
Here It Is iPhone.cab
It Includes:-
Grumps - iPhone App
inphyy - iPhone App Configurer
A_C - Slide2UnLock
larna - iContacts
xelashiu - iPhone Dialer Skin
And A Welcomehead BMP That I Found On The Forum.
Hope It's Ok Not Fully Tested It Yet, Please Leave Feedback.
Cheers
Thx for the release?...are there any problems if I want to remove the CAB...in case I have some problems?
How is the response time of the OS after install....much slower than WM6 withouth this or...?

Gooooood question!
I'd like to take look, just fer ****s & giggles ye know? don't wanna screw up my current install now. I'm in far too happy a place, ROM wise
Already tried it out...but it is useless for me...respons...like 3-5 sec after tapping a button...5mb less free RAM...this is too much for me..
Regards,
Primoz
All I can say is that the Dialer will not work correctly on 8252 with CIN 3.5.2. There are some alignment issues with numbers.
Also it's impossible to enter the settings for the skin and PHONE icon not linked correctly.
Best Regards
Why is this in the WM6 forum? Does the CAB only work on WM6?
It probably doesn't belong in this topic, but why don't we try and change that?
Would there be interest in making a WM6 ROM that looks and acts almost like an iPhone? I can see there being some disadvantages and no doubt a lot of people will miss the today screen, but there might be a few people interested none the less.
Maybe it would be better to keep it as an "iPhone CAB" with everything on it, so that users can try it and remove it quite easy?
What other programs would we need in the ROM do you think?
I'm thinking it would be good to try and embed Piscel Browser, or similar at least, so that you have the fancy finger scrolling on websites.
Maybe we could add the ringtones as well....

Why not ! Could be fun to try at least, providing performance didnt render it unusable.
@Pc78
To Deal With The Response Times, Select Settings And You Should Be At The Configurator App, You Can Change The Response Times With This App.
@.VIBE
It Should Uninstall Correctly, As That Option Was Selected With WinCE CAB Manager
@dusank
Strange The Phone Link Works Fine On My Phone, Maybe Try It Again After A Soft Reset.
Cheers
Follow The Links That Are Posted In The First Post, For Information On How To Configure The Individual Apps.
Cheers
Does it include the filedialogchanger made by ??? which is posted with iConfig?
and could you write which versions of the apps in the .cab?
sorry, but im a little lazy atm so i havent downloaded it..
Problems with Dialer
This is my first post, can you put xelashiu WM6 version of the dialer in the cab file. because of the problems with key pad numbers lining up, otherwise great app Many Thanks

GREAT CAB
Great cab, I was just looking forward to install a cab like these, but has only problem with the dialer, I hope can be fix. Thank you for the great work.
This CAB is very nice, but it was eaier to configure an iPhone theme using WAD with all the godies. Plus, you can put the icons wherever you want and add or delete them.
Unfortunately WAD is buggy and creates a soft reset from time to time. Other than that it's a nice app to play with!
I really like the start for this app... iContact is my favorite cause its a Stylusless UI. Now if everything else is ported it would be awesome!!! The dialer is a good start too but really needs work with simplifying it. It doesn't need to be that complicated and the look can be polished too. I'm willing to work on it with the developer if you need more of my feedback. I'm an interface designer by trade so please use me
I AM WILLING TO PAY IF SOMEONE WERE TO MAKE THE ENTIRE iPHONE OS AS A CAB OR WM6 REPLACEMENT!
Anyone else?
I'm a software developer with a fresh mind straight from Uni...so if anyone wants to team up let me know and I'd be happy to start on this project.
Slither I'm up for it!
I'll design the interfaces... You make them work!
Deal or No Deal?
Oh btw which direction would you like to go Cook our own ROM or CAB?
Deal
I like the CAB direction...btw I'm working full time so i'll dedicate time for the project mainly in the evenings and whenever I get time during work. PM me for design thoughts you have.
Cheers.
slither & and spidey
im excited to see what you guys will produce...
Sweeeeeettt!
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 recomend a program for making notes of the today screen (i presume there must be a program for doing this). preferably free too
Cheers,
handwrite memo
Yes, there is, and it's freeware too .
Look here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-hand-write-memo-today-plugin.html
brilliant thanks very much, will try now
-- Doesnt seem to work, downloaded and installed ok, but doesnt do anything... lol
anyone else tried it?
I don't know the program, but maybe you have to activate it in settings - Today? Today-plugins need to be activated through this menu to display them.
had a look there, its not in the today settings anywhere...
I think it should be there in the "items"-tab.
But like I said, I don't have this program, so I don't know for sure...
yeh, it should be, but it aint. ah well. find another prog... cheers anyway
I used to use NotesToday, and made some skins for it.
http://www.pocketgear.com/en_US/html/display_product.jsp?id=prod5690811
Nice app, but I realised that it gets a bit cramped writing notes on the today screen. That's what the Notes app is for! Also try BugMe, a great app.

Here is the readme file at the site of the developer:
http://home.comcast.net/~cheezsj/pocketpc/handwriteforpokep/english/Readme_English.txt
You have to install the program in main memory, after that the prog can be configured in settings > today > items.
Hope this works for you.

I am using the quick memo from here:

I think I remember reading somewhere that you simply delete the folder (and contents) from out of 'Program Files'. I think you run the uninstall through Add/Remove Programs first

Working fine on a HTC P3300 with Original WM6 French Rom
I have managed to uninstall, but it has taken over so many of the windows settings ie. Soft keys etc. that I have got to work out now which it has and which it hasn't and reset them. Decided to reflash the rom and do it that way.
Agree with the comments about uninstalling -it seems to get its hooks into your soft keys. I had to hard reset to sort it.
I am thinking of using it, if only I could work out how to customise the Favourites bit of the Applications part - ie the little arrow at the bottom of the screen.
Anyone know how to do this??

Answers, answers...
People may have found these themselves, but answers to questions may be on the PointUI Home forum, e.g. Uninstall Instructions.
Probably need to register (free) to see the boards...
Very good piece of software
need some further improvements but as beta's go I think these guys are clearly on the right lines.
If they get mail, messages, contacts and phone dialer to be like the rest of the UI then it will be tops
i appreciate it's still in beta but this just looks damn basic and boring (and i don't mean simplistic and stylish)
if the looks were even close to right i'd try it

Hello everyone. I've been working on this project today and I'd like to share my work. This is the mini version of NRG ChomeWeather 3.1... MiniWeather 1.0.
It's only got ONE layout and that's a 5 day layout as seen in the screenshots below. It's portrait device compatible so feel to install on Tornado's and such. This version also hopefully corrects the problem people have been experiencing with the phone locking up while the keyboard was locked and the weather app was updated.
This version also has a solid autoupdate routine that hasn't failed me once in the last 3 days.
All in all, I believe this is a rock solid version and I've tried to anticipate any bugs that may occur. Think of this as a light version of NRG Weather 3.1, as it's only 2 megs in size.
However, I will stop development of the old 3.1 version and just improve this. I hope you like this... and please report any issues. Thank you.
A few words for the newbs... After you install and reboot, please set your location code in the Options. Then update.
In order for the detailed forecast panels to show updated information, the phone HAS to be rebooted. There's no way around this... YET. I'm currently
working on moving from the CTestUIPanel to another panel, but not ready to do so... yet.
Features:
- Autoupdate according to Yahoo servers' time + 10 minutes + 1-5 random minutes (so we don't all hit the server at the same exact times)
- Update in 15 minutes when no connection is found.
- First forecast day info comes from Yahoo... the rest from weather.com
- Verbose status information as the script is running.
- Minimal set of icons to save space.
- Detailed Forecast panels can be turned off in "Advanced Options"
- Application will not automatically refresh the screen while the phone's keypad is locked.
- Built-in leftover notifications removal tool, in case you want to uninstall. See "advanced options".
October 18th - 1.2 Release
- Twice as fast current forecast download.
- Only one layout supported.
- Revised layout and removed the monitor, for now.
- Blue / black backgrounds behind the temp and hi low indicators, actually follow the official sunrise/sunset of the location selected.
It updates in 15 seconds or less now...
etc...

This is a preliminary release of MiniWeather 1.3 with support for the new 20279 core which has a different Chome platform. This version is NO different than 1.2 and it ONLY works on the "Rose" based ROMs, including my own Excalibur version.

Non fully tested yet, so if there's any bugs, let me know. Oh, you might have to go to homescreen options and pick one of the MiniWeather layouts

Looks Really GREAT!
Thanks! You're the man.... I am really loving it.

Good work man. You always have been really good at putting together a nice, clean package and no different here. Glad to here your planning on moving forward from testui and feel free to use any ideas we might have introduced. I think there's room for all of us here, and that's cool the way you made blue/black deal to reflect time. Great idea!
Looking goooood!
Great job Org (sorry, NRG). Works great. Really simple to use (as it should be) and awesome looks. The only thing I found is that for some reason it doesn't show low values on cTestUI. It's been happening since a couple of versions ago on my device (although I've uninstalled before installing this new one). Here's a SS of what I'm talking about. I think maybe it's some residual reg values or misplaced pics.
Anyway, it's a great app. Thanks for all the hard work
Hi NRG/Org.....
As usual your work is wonderful, this version works like a charm and seems that my phone has about 1 Mb more of memory free, thanks for your amazing work, waiting for your new version without the testui panel......

Well I figured out what the problem was. The script wasn't equipped to handle single digit temperatures Now it is and the second post was updated with a new cab. You can just use the attached "patch" cab if you've already installed the application. That way you don't have to reinstall everything. Thanks for the heads up on this.

I made them a .cab file for their app already. Only thing i couldnt seem to do ( and i don't know why) was integrate mortscript into the .cab. I followed your .cab structure for mortscript.exe and it never worked. Hopefully showaco will post my .cab shortly and if you want to you can take a look at see if you can integrate mortscript into somehow.
It's easy really. Mortscript only needs two references in the classes section of the registry to tell windows how to open "mscr" files and of course the mortscript.exe file... copied somewhere on the device. I chose \windows for my cab files

see thats weird. i tried that and it didnt seem to work. i added the mortsript reg entries in the HKCR section and everytime in stalled the app and tried to run his weather options.mscr file it said that cannot find file or one of its components.... once i installed the .cab withouth mortscript and installed the mortscript.cab file posted on his thread it worked fine.... weird.
Simply.....Amazing.
anyway to let it auto-disconnect the GPRS after update?
I could make it an option...
what is the 21XX number of the normal clock png icon? i don't have it anymore after doing a series of uninstalls and reinstalls etc.
Hey DUDE!
I am seconding what Showaco said. I really like the way this looks. I am glad you started using the clock panel too. Maybe we can collaborate on some ideas in the future. I sent you a pm last night, so if you didn't check it yet, check it. I hope all is well in Orgville and have a great day, bud.
