Reorganizing Home Screen, tool missing - HTC Excalibur

Dear fellas,
after booting my s620 for the second time i noticed an application that enabled me to change the order of items on home screen in WM 6.1. Now I just cant find it and it's driving me nuts. Can anybody let me know where this app is located?
The tool allows for enabling, disabling, reordering apps on home screen.
Thanks alot, regards,--
(Im a flash developer, i assume i cant be of much help for this community here. if that is wrong let me know and i'll just try...thanks alot for providing help and 61 here.)

Actually... keep your ears peeled. Flash knowhow will be come more and more important on mobiles. In hte meantime, feel free to disassemble the Chome panel's workings, and make a WYSIWYG editor for it I thought it was silverlight-lite, but I hear it is flash based.

From what I heard, only the MyFaves interface is flash based... not CHome... But hey, it's all rumours until we hear it from MS. Heh

iPhone CAB

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

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.

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!

TouchFLO 2D

I'm not exactly sure if the TouchFLO has to be on a touch screen phone, but I've seen pics of this 2D version of TouchFLO floatin' around and I'm wondering if it can be ported to our phones?
Anyone know?

Shucks. Maybe in time...
all the cabs are available in xda development and hacking forum. But the total install is around 26mb. I installed on my tilt last night and its pretty sweet. Dpad navigation works, so maybe a possibility that it could work, just have to try it. They also have the oems available for using in roms. Maybe nrg can cook it into his rom.
Has anyone here tried this yet? Its working almost perfect on the shadows, so the only reason you might have problems is the landscape compared to portrait layout. But that could be worked out, the main thing is that it will work on wm standard if anyone's interested in it.

thats just a matter of changing the settings xml for the image layout and changing size of background images, wouldn't be to hard, just takes a little time on spacing adjustment. The zip with all needed cabs is in the first link. shadowmike may have changed some of the files to use on smartphone, i'm not sure. He's supposed to have his done this weekend and should be available on allshadow.
NRG should get this for excaliber/dash if he's serious about making a rom.
Nice, how about that HTC Viva, I think its using the same processor as the Dash, but with native TouchFlo, can't wait.
Re: TouchFlo
If someone could put the XML code up then we could all do our little bit here, all we would have to do is highlight change and the original post could be corrected
Then all we need a test bed shore Reeg would be into this?
Just trying to make us all involved
I know this would be simps for showaco

Manilla Touchflo2d is now working on htc smarthphones for anyone interested. The layout is for portrait, but is has a xml file that you can adjust all the tabs, icons, text etc , so that it will view correctly on the dash/excalibur. Here's a link to all the files needed and a good thread on setting it up for smarthphones.
http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3354&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=40
The files and links are about half way down the page along with install directions and lots of screenshots.
Anyone would care sharing their xml for the dash? I'm not too good with those sort of things...

Hey y'all
so,
while we're all waiting for our "Dreams" to show up on the 22nd, this would be a lot of fun to play with. If anyone figures it out, and could even just write down how they did it, I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it, as I'm sure everyone else would as well. Thanks!
I've bn working on it for about 4 days now but I don't have alot of time. I know that show has been doing some work on landscape as well.
I offer myself as a test dummy for it. Just tell me what to do. It seems to be quite impressive. I hope showaco will come out with some good stuff

hey gorap, have you already installed it on your dash? You have to move the tabs first so you can see them. I've got some of the landscape values for home and weather. The programs page auto adjusts to fit I believe. The wallpaper background has to be widened as well(hh_fw_background.png).

[PROJ][Ongoing..]SE Xperia X1 Panels Porting Project for Touch HD!!! - NO CAB YET!!!

I did create a post..asking if anyone had started work on this...
Got not one reply...
Seeing as i have them both.. x1 and HD..
So.. i thought.... Lets have a go....
Proof of concept only.....not a distributable version.
Sony Xperia X1 Panels.....Running on Touch HD
It's got a long way to go and lots of work needed... but it should
end up a very good addition to the Touch HD, and once done, work can commence on porting to different resolutions.
I like the look of this front end alot better than the TF3D
What do you guys reckon?
THERE IS NO CAB. ASK AT YOUR PERIL!
Anyone asking for it, will be flogged, tarred, feathered and called a leper!
Staus Updates

There has been advances but very slow ones, It has been very "finiky" getting those "right changes" to commit more "stability changes"
It is because the HD was never meant to host Panels, and thus, is causing me a real pain in the backside! I'm currently looking at different roms, and versions of software, to try alternate file versions, to see if a combination is what is needed. Once this part is done, it should address a great deal of issues. Upto about 3 Hard resets a night, I think i should have a special button to do it on the back!
03/12/2008
It has been brought to my attention, there is a Cab available on another thread, but i have no input on this.
It is at the same point i was about a month ago.
It is a simple copy and paste from a X1 and is unstable.
I did not put out a version like this, as It requires your phone be reset after running panels after about 5 times, and i am aware why.
I thought It would be unfair to users to give them something that would pretty much trash the stability of the HD.
You know where it is if you do not care about this, and just want to install it.
I will not be putting out my version till i know atleast it will not trash your phone. That would subtract from the work done, and after some of us spending 500GBP+ the last thing needed is a paperweight.
01/12/2008
With the help of 'Keni'.. a new junior member... He has helped move us along also.. and produced...
The Panel icon on the titlebar.
It does need work.. and for it to function i need help again from nelshh
But he has no-doubt spent alot of time.. and got some code done.
I have to commend his effort.. and now wish to happily add him to the contributer list along with nelshh
See post 304 for pic and wmv
Thanks keni !
I am still working on te next alpha build and am struggling with the concurrence manager.
After using panels chooser anywhere from 5-10 times.. it egg timers out.. and batt out is the only recourse.
The testing on one of my HD's is now at a point.. it is a daily reset at minimum,,, but i'll carry on.
27/11/08
This has been such a painful last few days.... I have had unknown numbers of hard-resets trying to get the failing panels to operate properly.
2 developers are currently trying to help create the panel icon (see post 104) If anyone else can help aaswell...????
At the moment.. it's still doign my head in... but i am still working on this..
Those of you who have made donations.. and the kind words.. I am very grateful... and the bottle of White Zinfandel has been bought.. and shall be devoured tomorrow by her.!
I know alot of you guys are awaiting on me.. and that's why i haven't stopped.
Thanks guys... (and their mrs's for not divorcing them!)
PS.. my wife also wants a developer to create a couple of buttons on her omnia.
One button = Husband puts down phones!
Two Button = Husband does not grunt when asked question by her.. cos he is engrossed in panels!
Three button = Husband does not buy another new phone ever ever ever again!
I told her.. this is impossible... but she still asked me to find out.
23/11/08
The Alpha Cab has gone out to 5 selected testers.
This is a test version.. with many bugs.
So far.. this is the feedback
It installs.
It launches
It works
However.
Media panel & Facebook panel don't work on Alpha 0.02
Panel launcher Working. 3 testers had issues with relaunches after 5 times.It then becomes unresponsive
TF3d / Coloured Xperia / Silver Xperia / Radio Panel / SPB Panel / Google panel and Fish Panel all operate.
Animation works well on all.
I will work to address some of these.. and release a second alpha cab only to the Alpha testers.
19/11/2008
Alpha Build 0.02.

Big jump made by all work done by nelshh (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=916337)
He has developed a working prototype that will call the panel manager tab.
So.. AS OF TODAY.. the 15th.. thanks to nelshh, we have something that now functions..and needs finalising and wrapping.
I will contact people to see if you can also help.
But please give nelshh a big thanks on this thread... for all his work in his project Xperiatweak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440035)... and also his work on here.

hi,
Am sure lot of guys here would be interested to do the testing & developement for you.Can you post here, how you started with porting panels onto HD? I searched for the panels cab and cant find anything on this xda ? Would be useful if you could give some more information,
regards
vijayvasa
works fine on HD?
Is much slower than xperia?
The panels looks good on HD as comapre to X1 because of the large screen. Do share the cabs and procedure to do that once you are done.
Thanks in advance.
Hope the panels work faster than on the X1 otherwise they are useless. On the X1 they are way to slow to work productively with them.
But the chance that they work faster on the HD are small, right? Cos the hardware of both the X1 and the HD are about the same, are they?
Also looking forward for a cab file for testing them by myself.

Hello Harvsingh,
I would be very interested in helping you, but I have absolutely no experience in programing (besides my old ti-83plus). Do you think I could help you somehow? Can you tell me what I should do? I don't want to loose this project only because nobody here wants to help... So, if I can do something, I'll try to do it!! I think I'll get my HD this week, than I can try everything and if you tell me, also other things. I really want to help... Greez, cad^^
Wow HarvSingh !
Good for you! Looks like a good job on the face of it!
Great to see this post!
Have seen someone porting TouchFlo3D to Xperia, and was wondering whether anyone would port the Xperia Panel over to Touch HD.
Well, hopefully you would share the cab file for the rest of us to do a test on it, and more people to come and improve on it.
Do you manage to get the gold fish to work too? Guess it would really be nice to let the gold fish swim on the bigger screen.

Thanks for the words.....
Yes.. all panels work.. but not after a reboot..
Fish are very happy in the bigger tank.. and stroking the screen has the same affect on scared little fishy
It's now a case in finding out what is causing it to flap itself on a reboot.
On a hard reset... going through my way to wedge the panels in.. works... then on reboot... i cannot start it.
Also.. after selecting the panel you want.. i'm still to find the call it makes from the X1 panel button to call up panel chooser with the tiled view.. so. when you've selected the panel.. you cannot re-choose another.
but.. this is my first day in doing this.. and i guess i'll plod along.. till i find it.. or just think screw it.

Well to be honest, the Panels are more a marketing USP than anything else. While they are convenient, I have no issue or propensity against going into each thing separately as per normal.
But if you could get it working fully, it would be great. SonyEricsson wouldn't be too happy about it though I think !
For me, this is an extremely exieting project, because I only hoped/feared that there'll be some developers, bringing some great programs for the panels and nobody else could use them. Like spb-panel, I like it really a lot from what I've seen in videos. So, than I could have the best of both worlds, on a biiig screen^^ please, work on, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's very, very interestet in this project!!! And I want to congratulate you already for the work you've done until now!! Its amazing!!! Go on, finish it I wish you good, good luck and if you need any help I could do, I give you my word that I'll try to do my best!! Many greez, cad^^
Hi all
Video showing it running on a Touch Hd.. for the conspiracy theorists.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jo0ZhxOi8s
I don't get the video. Could you explain what's going on ?
I didn't have the audio on, if there was any, but it's just showing that it's possible. That's the first time I've seen it in action, and I'll admit it may be a little slow, but it looks better than the TouchFlo3D... I'd definitely install it.

All buttons work.. i was trying to juggle a TYTN II... look at the phone and tytn.. and press buttons... so .. i may not have pressed buttons properly..
But.. trust me.. they all work... and as quick/quicker than on the Sony X1.def not slower.

But good news on the speed. I do hope you're able to make an easy to use cab file of it. No hurry as far as I'm concerned though. Not getting an HD yet. But definitely the first thing I'll download for it!

for gods sake, why no one is helping me-how can I tweak the GPS-please someone help

Hey Guys
I am using the following
Radio: 4.49
Rom: WWE 6.5
Operator: T Mobile
I have advanced config, and I saw a thread about tweaking the gps, please can someone explain to me in detail how to do that. Under GPS in advanced config it was mentioned to set log file to No logging , but everytime i chose no logging when i restart the device it goes back to \windows\GPSlogFile.txt
it was also mentioned to delete the old and current log file how can I do that.
Are those tweaks applicable to win mobile 6.5
Look for the Cabs,Tips,Tweaks etc thread stickied at the top of this section
I really feel annoyed by when people tell me look at this or that thread when from my post you can tell that I already did that. I tried to follow the instruction on the tweaks, cabs thread, but got stuck, so please why in this forum specifically every time I ask a question I get these insulting replies.
I think I will abandon my dam HTC TOUCH pro2 and go back to HTC TOUCH HD forum since at least there I get answers. I am really pissed now.
For gods sake respect that we are at least trying to learn, and stop being rude to us, by showing us that we are stupid
I don't know what to tell you. When i got it it took a lot to get a lock so i updated the radio from the official site, installed SeaSGEE (do a search), downloaded the content, used the gps registry tweak ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/GPS Tweaks ) and the lock is under 2 minutes (although i believe the lock time is horrible compared with the samsung omnia which was 15 seconds).
Hope it helps.

As far as I can tell .. transcriber and letter recognizer do not come with 6.5 anymore they took it out I Loved it .. but I guess noone used it. )
I have tried installing it .. on 6.5 with NO LUCK ;( If you find a way message me too !
Just found this : http://pocketnow.com/thought/goodbye-transcriber
Handwriting recognition has always been a feature of Windows Mobile that went unrivaled by most other smartphone operating systems. Admittedly, most people either didn't use the feature or didn't know that it existed. About a year ago, we did a tutorial on how to use the features of Transcriber to get fantastic handwriting recognition.
The upcoming HTC HD2 has a capacitive screen, meaning that traditional styli cannot be used with the device. Because of this, HTC has stripped out the Transcriber option, as seen below from the HD2 ROM. Also of note is that there is now only one keyboard option, which is HTC's Touch keyboard. Gone is the small stylus keyboard that we've come to know for many generations of Windows Mobile.
With Transcriber gone, will you miss it?
You don't need to take it personal and get upset.
You should at least consider that the issues you're asking about are not common....so the number of people who know or care about the answer is small. If they were common issues then you'd find many other posts stating the same problem. Do you?
If you've followed the suggestions and the suggestions don't work for you, then what more can anyone say? How much time are people supposed to devote to troubleshooting a problem that only you have?
If you scan down the list of threads, those threads that have 0 responses are either questions that are odd/unique/unknown or have been answered so often that there's a sticky with the answer at the top of the forum...which indicates that the poster isn't even trying to help themselves.
BTW: If I had the answer to your technical issues I'd offer it, but I don't.

If I read the site you linked to correctly, L3V5Y says the transcriber is a registry setting, but is still in the OS. Anyone know what registry setting would enable it?
I just checked my Tilt2 and it still has transcriber. If you click on the Keyboard icon, it brings up the options. Go to other input methods, and transcriber is one of them. I don't know of any custom roms that have the transcriber, but my Tilt2 rom has it. I haven't flashed anything to my Tilt2 yet, but will be doing so soon. I have flashed a lot of roms to my old Tilt and Fuze, but am really looking to get a stock ATT rom with the BS bloat taken out. I have yet to look at Da_g's, but will be doing so shortly.
And, by the way, I've been a member for about three years, but my post count is low because I do search for things. when I have asked a question, I typically have gotten great responses. The "go search" people are usually smug people with no knowledge, but have seen others write it, so they do too.
My GPS wakes up in <10s in clear skies when it's been on somewhat recently, perhaps 1 minute if it's got stale data.
If your GPS takes forever to warm up, there's something wrong with it. As for the registry entries, you're probably just doing it wrong. Besides, there's zero need for it anyway.

If I read the site you linked to correctly, L3V5Y says the transcriber is a registry setting, but is still in the OS. Anyone know what registry setting would enable it?
I just checked my Tilt2 and it still has transcriber. If you click on the Keyboard icon, it brings up the options. Go to other input methods, and transcriber is one of them.

What ver of Mobile you have 6.1 ??
In Mobile 6.5 - If I goto Keyboard icon, it brings up the options. I have NO "other input methods "
sad to say .. But true
--------------------------------------edit
Ok .. I am a dumbass I installed Transcriber .. and true it does not give you the option of choosing it from the optons menu ..
However if you find transcriber.exe in the windows dir .. you can run it and it does work !
So I made a link and added it to the startup dir in windows and it works just fine now
Just a warning .. if you change to the full or compact qwerty it closes transcriber and you will have to restart it to make it work again :/

My Tilt 2 (6.5) offers Transcriber, Keyboard, Letter Recognizer, and Block Recognizer. Sorry your ROM is crippled.

I have a tilt2 and both transcriber and letter recognizer (my favorite) are enabled and the tilt 2 does use wm 6.5. i went back to the stock rom after flashing the energy rom because it didn't have it, i just prefer features over speed. i vow not to flash another rom unless it has full handwriting recognition, i for one use it a lot more than the keyboard.

I really feel annoyed by when people tell me look at this or that thread when from my post you can tell that I already did that. I tried to follow the instruction on the tweaks, cabs thread, but got stuck, so please why in this forum specifically every time I ask a question I get these insulting replies.
I think I will abandon my dam HTC TOUCH pro2 and go back to HTC TOUCH HD forum since at least there I get answers. I am really pissed now.
For gods sake respect that we are at least trying to learn, and stop being rude to us, by showing us that we are stupid

Hi hykhleif
I think that you have misunderstood the ethos of this forum. This is a developers forum not a users forum. There is a "Questons and Answers" section in the General section of the forum which you'll see at the top of the main forum page. You may get more detailed help by posting questions there.
I think that if you want "user" advice generally this is potentially not the best place to look but a forum on the HTC website. I think that www.expansys.com has some good user forums as well.
I hope you get your device working to your satisfaction.
Best wishes

Mods,
Not that I am a religious freak or anything like that, not that I object to those who choose to believe in that sort of stuff...
For the record I would like to convey my objection to the tone err attitude err approach err demanding nature of the comments err are we here on this planet to serve this person err is he a reincarnated faro? I move that this thread be removed and our faro friend be given some lessons/guidance on how to communicate in a none aggressive (or pigheaded) way...
We all get frustrated... we all have people in our lives that represent a challenge... our girlfriends/boyfriends all get headaches from time to time... so lets keep a lid on the aggressive nature particularly in this our very fine forum...
PATIENTS is a VIRTUE.

simply i apologize to my tone, i was not aggressive but frustrated.

Congratulations, you just put your device in bootloader with no means to take it out of it... (sorry for the sarcasm...)
In any case, you will have to get a cable since the device has to receive a command to exit bootloader, which you will not be able to do through the device. There is no way to flash a rom through SD on the BA (I have a small project, but I am not certain that it will unlock it for you... in fact, I seriously doubt it).
I will try to upload it later and give you a link for it.
thanx anyway, i just got cable
charger and schemes do amiazing things
hehehe
btw, i am hermes user, and i thought it is just like in hermes, (reset exit bootloader) hehehehe
btw,m thank you for your support and reply.
man, you can not imagine what i have do to enter bootloader
about 30 minutes of rebooting device
i think i should keep in bootloader mode, it was too hard to get it in
hehehehe
regards

You got it working though...
yes, i managed to fix it, but it would be great to see that project you have started
one quick question, i did not find it anywhere, but is there resouce explorer or reshack sort of app written for wm5/6?
btw, is there any place where i can get winCE apis documentation, msdn annoys me, and if anyone of you use masm32, does someone know where can i get headers and library for masm32 (or should i start new topic and set proper name for this question?)

I believe that there is a reshack for WM (in fact, I saw it not too long ago). As far as the apis, unfortunately, I am not a programmer, so I wouldn't even know where to start looking for that (other than google searches).
well, listing win32 and CE functions at same place....
i use winNT api help, because it does not contain .Net or winCE apis....lol

Which link are you talking about (I have like 4 in my signature)?
In any case, if you are looking for a UI that makes the device look like a Desktop, you need Wisbar Advance Desktop and Wisbar Advance. I have never been able to use them correctly, but I have seen people making their Home screens look like OSX, WinXP, and even Vista.

i tryed wisbar, but it is not something i may like.
there is something like wisbar on s60, and i gave up on it 2 years ago...
just dont know why do i have to be one who find all buggs in software\hardware :S
btw, ORD, i am partly in, but in my case, it dont have to be stable, but UI must be flawless
anyway, now i have issue with splash on hermes:S
going to try to fix that, see you later and thanx for nice conversation

Hey _wook_
You could try going into Start>Settings>Personal>Input Options and check the options in there. I cannot remember off the top of my head, but I do believe that this option is somewhere in here.
yha, i know for that, but it is not for a landscape, only portrait mode.
but i will find something
thanx for reply

I'll snoop around and see what I can come up with.
fixed:
registry value need to be changed, hklm/system/gdi/cleartypesettings/offonrotation (dword) set to 1 (by default is 0).
