[ASK] Today plugin?? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Hi all,
i am new to universal, just traded my trinity to a universal last week. i have been scouring the forum and the net for a good today plugin for the universal's vga screen. tried spb mobile shell - hogs the resource, tried pointui vga - even higher resource hog, tried htc home vga - too small, tried snapvue - almost stopped my device to a crawl, tried rl today - haven't figured out a good config and found it somewhat slow, and tried the advantage home plugin ( the totatl commander that looks like htc home)
can you guys recommend a good today plugin? and/or theme that's not so resource intensive? what do you guys uses the most? i basically just dreamed a htc home layout that's in the correct size and functional.
Cheers,
ps: please be nice if i posted this on the wrong section..

Well i don't have a VGA device so thats all i know of, sorry.
Is Battery Status available on your phone?
Battery Status is HIGHLY customizable.
that or you might wanna try Real VGA.
edit: i found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830
they say htc home works great with it

Try ultimate launcher

thx guys, tried battery status default theme and works great. but switched to rl today with the cool vga skins. thanks guys!

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336234
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.

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

You may want post what you've tried already so the suggestions that come through won't be plugins that you've already written off.
I'm currently in the process of testing SPB 3.0.1. Still not sure if I like it enough to replace TF3D as it doesn't allow total integration with my other apps...Resco contacts, sms chat.
I guess you are right.
For starters, I have installed SPB 3 and WM7 black skin..it is very good..not the best but good, I like it
So far I have tried:
×Throttle launch (not good, graphics were blurry, guess it is more for VGA , but could be OK for VGA device)
×PocketPlus (too much stuff, didnt like it)
×HTC Home (I dunno why, but I guess this plugin did something bad to my phone, it acted weirdly, although it provided informaton I wanted, I did a painful Hard Reset and after that everything was OK)
×SPB 2 (I used this for very long time, but I got bored from the graphics and I liked and hated Now screen at the same time )
×PointUI2 (this was freaking awesome, very smooth graphics, but I lack WVGA skins and applets, good skins were VGA only and I couldnt switch to my today screen, which I do sometimes to check how much have I called already)
×rlToday (this one could be great, but It was very small on my screen, I could hardly see the clock )
×this is all I remember what I have tried
Now I am using:
SPB 3
HomeScreen++ (I use this only as a Call Timer, but would like to use it wider, but dunno how , does someone have an advice how to get a MAX out of this prog?)
And I have Spb Wireless monitor and Spb Backup on my todayscreen.
Thats it. So I guess I have tried a lot, but still am not absolutely satisfied.
What I really wish for is something like Omnia today screen..Ow how I would like to drag and drop widgets...I know FEWidgets can do this but I dont like how it looks...
And what I would like to have mostly is somekind of desktop with Icons and stuff...ust like a normal PC....
Thx for replies guys.

how do you know which version is the right one?
are there any pics of the software in action somewhere?
Well it sounds like you've tried just about everything lol! You didn't mention Wisbar Advance Desktop I see. This is the closest thing I've found where you can have the look and feel of your desktop PC.
Check out Mallmans Vista Theme here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468153&highlight=Vista+Theme < Check out his site for more themes here > www.swampthing.net
Ow
You see, as I said I didn't remember
I tried WAD already, but again, some things are not to my liking.
I guess I am very demanding
thanks for your helps guys.
I guess I will stick with SPB 3 for some time.
Although Id like to make my own theme but dunno how.
I made a thread about this, hope someone will throw some letters in it
Thanks.

Background on all tabs? TouchFLO 3d 2.1.38411.0

Hi iv been looking around as id like all my backgrounds the same image but when i apply the tweaks that a few people are saying it distorts my whole touch flo program and crashes it why is this happning are the tweaks only ment for 2.5?
I would like to know that too. IS there a chance to have the same background on all Tabs?
Background For all Cabs for touch flo 2.1
Here is a cab which i found which worked for me on touch flo 2.1. Hope it works.
thx i'll try it
edit: I have tried it on manilla 2.5, but nothing happens. I mean how to run it after I install cab. NOw I am flashing a new rom with manilla 2.1 to see if it will work. But glad to see, that such a tool exists. If you can provide more info about this tool
I recommend trying HDWalls can be found in the forum with a search, this works perfectly on my manila 2.1, very easy to use as well, I make all my wallpapers with it, excellent app.
cheers
Cool thanks for the feed back there the reason i know it does work was i managed to download a cab a while ago and right enouth it worked but i though ill get fly and try a few other cabs but unfortunutly they must be version dependent,
i know the method of over wrighting 2 windows files i tryed to look through my windows enabling hiden files but could not find the 2 files listed on most topics,
ill try your update thanks alot for the feedback,
Thanks
Brilliant cheers badbrowne this sorted the issue it is working perfect all tabs running my main tab image that was simple could not find this answer,
This should be added to the sticky part thats a great saves me from having to hard reset,
how did it work for you? or is it simple but you just have to have manila 2.1 ? only needs to run this cab file and that should be it? thx
Yea
I just downloaded the cab posted sent it to my device insatlled it to my storage device not the external memory and restarted my touch hd make sure your fone is the stated resalution though or this may end up destorting your tf3d theme, if you have the wrong screen type,
yes with the new flashed rom using manila 2.1. It all went good. Very happy now. Thank you all
This does not work on weather clock versions.
Works for me..
gr8 work, thanks a lot..
Ty ty ty ty
does not work on tf3d 1.2 but greatly works on my tf3d 2.1
thanks a lot dude ^_^
I just noticed the home page slider is transparent while the slider on other tabs remains

Man I tried with the Original, without your folder.. But, It didn't work then also..
What could be the Problem.? Is it because I'm using Cookies home tab.?

No, but is recommended disable el Sense (with cookie o without it) when use throttlelauncher because both use much ram memory. Throttle less than sense.
If you have problem with the original, may be is better that´s you ask in this forum. Good Luck.
Thanks garmin2!

The throttlelauncher until you found the correct combination of widget is so unstable, but after a few days with the widget, begin to be stable like sense.
For example, I don´t use the people hub, only use some contact like hub, because like the people hub use too many resource, for me was unstable.
The % is a problem of resize (i only have the problem with 100% but no less), there are not enough space, but I will try to look it´s better. In a few days I will posted a new folder with some improvements, like in the weather page background skin, and see the map. Actually the mapspage appear blank, but I find a solutions, and other minor bugs.
The calendar and the music hub are the original I don´t do any modifications about this, so the problem is the unstable of throttle. May be you must insist until be stable. Believe me, is posible begin with less hub and add to one for time.
Uninstall and install until you get it. Good lucks
ok thank you. i am looking forward for your updated files
thanks...
Thanks for the port...
but I have problems with the font. although, I did copy the segoe.ttf to the windows > fonts folder...
and I also have a problem in the calender...

Is strange, I don´t know why this happens, but sometime the throttlelauncher is so unstable. I would try with the original, and then copy the hubs on at a time, and test, if work fine backup folder: program files/throttlelauncher, and after add a new hub and so until install all.
In really the problem are not my folders, is the throttle (I only resize to HVGA and minor tricks. I would leave by the end the weather hub, because this need update until run and sometimes have problems.
Good Luck.

Autorotate hd mini!!!!

Hi,
I want to point out, this small (cab) found a rom for HD2 Laurentius26 (Thanks) link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044596, running on a HD MINI. It allows automatic rotation (landscape). I did tests on the main features of HD MINI, from start menu seems to work well. Obviously does not work perfect on home screen and dialer. is useful to me for example, in the Remove Programs screen.....
As Laurentius26 realized, would be nice to create for HD MINI, a dialer (phone keypad) to insert into a rom cooked .... combined with the cab autorotate.
hi, does it work in the sense? i mean for example in the music tab..does it rotate into landscape same as on hd2?
hi, I tried it now because I did not know if it worked, because I do not use Music tab.
It 'clear that they can not run those programs, which have no skin in the landscape. The CAB autorotate changes the (log system) on the instructions MANILA. I think! but inside 56KB adds nothing !!!!!
In fact, I think, Laurentius26 on ROM FOR HD2 added skins to PHONE DIALER to operate in landscape.
As I have said does not work with all programs in rom: dialer (phone keypad), etc. HOME SCREEN. . MUSIC TAB LANDASCAPE in fact it does not work with BSB Tweaks !!!!!
Do not be hard for something that is given for FREE!
First of all there are already a few threads which specifically discuss about this matter with different apps (Probably around 3).
As mentioned above, the problem does not lies on the AutoRotate app but Manilla itself so unless someone is willing to create HVGA landscape Manilla skin there wont be any landscape Manilla view for our HD Mini.
Considering the low activity of HVGA skin and app development, the chance is slim ....
In fact it is so Ahinigami. I cooked a Rom for hd mini. I'm looking at this work, an application that allows autorotate COMPLETE, to be included in ROM.
(As I said above) I opened this thread with the hope, too, that someone could make a skin for HD MINI laurentis26 as it did, at least for the telephone keypad.
But here it seems only .......... : download and install!
Update
And in fact sometimes life rewards bold .......
I was reminded that long ago I published a thread (TUTORIAL MOBILE MAGIC).
From that folder (attached to the thread) I managed to build a (cab package) and fully functional. I think I continue on this road ....
telephone keypad, is it the usual dialer we're using "cprog"?
If yes, it does support landscape mode ....
I just downloaded the dialer to pack kitchens.
then placed on ROM to HD2. but I just did download.
in the little free time I'm looking for a good rom to join HD mini. Now I'm considering O2_uk
anyway .... and now that I think I can do now a (cab package), if I can send you a private pm
UPDATE:
I understood the potential of HD MINI. I spent a little time,
and I made a special cab for PHOTON. is the dialer pad (telephone keypad) that I said above.
From the first test seems to work fine (I used MOBILE MAGIC) is enclosed SCREENSHOT 2/ 3 / 4. Thanks to Ahinigami to the stimulus.
removed in error
Hi.
Thanks for Auto-rotate
If you create a cab , please upload it ...
If you're planning to cook AutoRotate app into your rom, I suggest using simpler and smaller app specifically just for this purpose.
I've tried the cab you attached in the first post and it was quite buggy (Sense tab is not functioning properly such as alignment) and without any blacklist/whitelist feature.
On the other hand Mobile Magic (Beta) is a rich feature app but comes with larger footprint.
If you've the time, pls do try out ChangeScreen. It has a simple and easy to use interface and smaller footprint.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw, if you're planning to include AutoRotate app into your Rom, do you plan to allow just a few selected app such as Shell32 (Start Menu), dialer, and Sense (When possible)?
Some programs are not rotate friendly and will stop working properly once rotated so you should take this into account too.
Hi Ahinigami ,
ChangeScreen I tested (I did not know) but absolutely bad (on my rom). It should immediately crash and lock system. I could not even evaluate the memory usage when this program is resident in memory.
However, I'm working on another program, and I am considering just the memory used, depending on the version used the same program. In fact, the features that I want to achieve are: the fluidity of the graphics, speed, low memory but also the workers!
For the delay on the dialer cab I apologize! Patience!
But I do not eat with it! I do this for a hobby ...... but I also have my job!
For tonight than upload a new thread in the dialer pad and the cab to rotate + tutorial. Afternoon do the last test and upload!!!
I see, take your time .... Having a new developer for HD Mini is a good news itself for me.
There is nothing I can do for you but I could at least help you to try out your new app and rom when released.
Ahinigami Thanks!
is a pleasure for me to be of help! Experience together!

I hope good news .... for you ..... for you all.
Hola, great work you´re doing here
I´ve been comparing the Mini and the HD2 for a while now, and even though I´ve also achieved to rotate (force rotation) Manila/Sense, it´s not ported to landscape yet (7c60907d_manila, 22e41977_manila, 14394200_manila) and has never been. The fact is that we should have to decompile and mode some of the manila core files for it, assigning in those files the corresponding positions for the elements...
Now, if all you want to do is to be able to rotate everything else, that´s easier since a few reg entries will do that for quite some apps (see L26 rotation cab) OR by using a very simple and powerfull app like xHook or xtask. I use it on both my Mini and HD2 (yep, with Laurentius beta ROMs) and I can rotate "on demand" everything (except sense) by simply assigning the winflag softkey to the rotation of 270 degrees within xtask
Hi BHS_ Interceptor,
Thank you very much.
You gave some very interesting news!
I think it is the right way, ......
In fact that's what I'm trying to implement. From your suggestions, I will try to work .... because I want to get the final result that you wrote above. Well.

Hola Oregon, glad my post was useful. If there is anything else I can do, just let me know.
Btw, if you simply use the reg keys and also enable autorotate, the behaviour on the Mini will not suffer except on Sense. You would have to add a lot of exe´s to the white list and after installing new apps, some of this would have/need to be added as weel. Using xTask/xHook, you don´t have to worry about white list nor anything else, even about registry, since it rotates on demand what ever and when ever you press the set Key. You can also assign another key for it, but I like the win flag since we already have another one right below the softkey. If you replace the winfla icon with a "rotate" icon" then all looks perfect as well
Btw, on my HD2 (I´m also a member in Laurentius Platinum Beta team) I have assigned the button through the "build in" taskmanager Leo is using for the ROM...
