not keen on having only 3 programs per line on the programs tab. can the icons not be shrunk to allow 4 icons per line? or is there a cab for this already?
thank you.
Exactly what I have been thinking of for a while...
sometimes wish i became a programmer, love what these guys can do, wish i had the power!
Well hopefully are wish will be answered.
Just a big thanks for all the programmers that have made so much possible. off topic question... how comes multi million pound companies cant or is it wont do to the os ui etc that you guys do...(in the sense of tweaking and making the devices more productive??? they acheive so much making these devices, get to the finish line and stop for the guys here to perfect...

Search the forum. The answer is there.
Check the wiki here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Tweaks
I think that they mean 4 programs per line in the TF3D tab. The above tweak changes the winmo interface.

Yep, I think you're right.
Yup 4 lines in the Manilla program tab. I would love this as its such a waste of space.
If i have Visual Studio i would install the Mobile SDK and start learning the language. I can write VB quite well so should adapt reasonably quickly.

Oh sorry... you want for the TF3D programs? That's my misunderstanding! This is to have 4 icons in Programs and Settings.
I think that till now i haven't seen something like that you request.
I asked the same questions before... and I think some of the users as well...
But no, so far I havent come across any solutions on that... :-(
it can be done with HD Tweak available on this forum. I've done it myselt. I've also done many other great tweaks.

If you read the above messages you will understand that the user requested something else. What you propose creates four in a row in the windows mobile environment in Settings and in Programs. The user has asked if there is a way to have four programs in a row in the TF3D tab. And the answer is No. At least so far.

I never understood the need for a separate keypad locking application on the excalibur. Isn't it a lot easier to just hold down the End key until it locks ? beats having to scroll down to the right panel, choosing the application, then on top of that.. answering Yes or No to the "Lock keypad ?" question!!

I just want to say to you Rickwyatt Thank you for your continued work and sharing it with us. You are an inspiration to all owners. I'm becoming impatient on a new official 6.1 Rom even if there are no problems with me 1.33 brightpoint HTC WM6. It's like a new haircut, I need a change.
Sorry if this is not a plausible post for this thread but I am just thrilled how many creative minds this site has. I could mention so many but I'm sure you get my drift.

Sorry, one more thing. If you are doing it with CeleCmd, can you make a new folder for the new dll, that Celecmd loads the contents of, so that we can drop in our own hacks into the switcher? I understood just enough of the documentation to realize that CeleCmd is pretty powerful.
And if not, could you include the dark version I made in your ROM? Please?
UPDATE Don't want to make a whole 'nother post again so soon. I'm off to make a totally new background for the Cpanel bubble. Something curly/tribal, if I can get it to look good.
This is a good post, hopefully this will come out soon.
looks good. how about adding a weather panel to the homescreen?
I love the new ROM but still having slowness issues with Diamond TF3D Config.
What are the odds that Dutty would make his ROM and leave that off so we could add it as we wish?
Any possibility?
Thanks,

Post in his ROM release thread, might be able to make you a cab? I am interested too.

lol, it is not possible that the rom is slowlier only because my tool is installed. That makes no sense. Just installing an app which is not running in background has no effect to the speed of your device.

But besides that, this kind of issues should be raised inside the "Diamond TF3D config" thread, because if there was an issue with this application, it had to do with the aplication itself and not with the rom...

But if the application is built into the ROM and therefore ends up running, then the end problem is the same.

I beg to differ. If you read your thread, there were a couple of others that noticed it.
And on top of that... I installed the 1.3 or 1.4 ROM and had no issues. The moment I installed the TF3D configuration, I had a pause everytime I could hit contacts in the contact app.
I tried to uninstall it and it wouldn't work so I installed the new 1.93 ROM from HTC. I had no hesitation.
I then reinstalled Dutty's 1.5 and immediately had the same hesitation.
The program is great and perhaps it's just me but everytime I install it I have a hesitation.
I'm about to install ver 1.4 so we'll see if it works again....
Mark
Opps, can't.... version 1.4 has it also.
I'll play around and see....
Thanks,
Mark
ehm...only chaning the theme makes manila a bit slow and maybe some tweaks are making some devices slow.
But NOONE has the issue, that just after installing my tool or just after running and exiting my tool the device got slowlier. It is absolutely impossible.

It may be impossible but check out post 556 and 559 on your thread.... there's two more people having the same problem. I'm not dissing your work at all.... I think the software is fantastic, I'm just making sure I'm not the only one having a problem and if I am, I want to fix it.
Now, on to something else you said... I DID install a theme when I originally installed it. However, I've installed it since then with no themes and still find it sluggish.
I just reinstalled a completely different ROM (Diamond Project) just to see if I would have a problem. The problem is still there and I just noticed that it has the TF3D program built into it.
I'll try some other ROMs and see if that changes it.
Thanks,
Mark

I found out what the problem is.... You were right. It's not the TF3D program making it slow, it's actually when you hit the second tab (what is it, people?) and then hit all people.
There is a delay before pulling up a contact list.
Tonight I've installed 4 different ROMS and until I installed the last one which actually has "contact" in place of "phone" in the phone app, I realized if you click on contact, your contacts come up IMMEDIATELY.
If you hit people and then click on "all people" to pull up contacts, it DRAGS out. Each ROM has a different speed on pulling up the contacts but nonetheless, it's the damn TF3D software from HTC, not the TF3D config program you made.
My apologies, I was wrong and you were right... I'm starting to understand why so many people don't like the memory hog TF3D interface.
Looks cool but what a slow PIA.
Thanks, just thought I'd let you know....

When I first read this thread I thought surely you are confusing TouchFLO 3D itself with the TF3D Config utilty! You do realise TouchFLO 3D is simple to disable? Just got to Start>Settings>Today>Items and uncheck TouchFLO 3D.

Yes sir, I did know you can disable it. It's just that I didn't notice it was sluggish until I added the config program so I assumed (yeah, I know....lol) that was the problem.

LANDSCAPE WORKING
original method taken from Showaco
Ive spent quite a bit of time working on this now so i feel i can receive some credit for all of this work
Start Menu All Programs 4 iCONS (not working on programs page)
-[CAB]
v3.2
V3.3 - ONLY FOR LATEST MANILA 2.1.x
--------
-[OEM] -(copy file into manila directory in your kitchen)
V3.2
Does this only change the "All Programs" page or does it bring back the old style
start menu and bring back the programs tab?
Would it be possible to just create a cab that changes the "All Programs" section
to the 4 icons view instead of that massive long list that exists as of this moment.
i think the start menu need to be spaced out a bit more if anyones intrested ill keep updating
it should do both, thats what ive been trying to achieve if u want just the all programs to be boxes i should be able to do that for you
The "Start Menu" just looks too close and squashed and is it me or is it padded
to much from the left.
The "All Programs" screen looks fine though.
So would it be possible to only have "All Programs" and not the "Start Menu" mate?
Edit:
Just read your post, could you do that for me please. I like the new Start Menu Rhodium has and I prefer 3 applications per
row but definetely want to change the "All Programs" bit.
Navigating through a list is just too long. I don't understand what HTC were thinking LOL
yea it is , same thing i thought but it is a working example ill do you the all programs only now should be easy enough

I had the opportunity to play with a Hero yesterday and I loved the fact that their Sense UI had multiple "profiles" or themes, so, for example, I could have one set of screens and widgets for work, and another for personal.
Is there a software that permits me to have the same on Windows Mobile? Thx
try this

Thanks, but G-Profile is not what I had in mind. G-Profile offers settings profiles, whereas with Sense UI, you can set how the Home screens look, e.g., you can have one group of contacts for Favorites for work and another for personal.
Thanks anyway.

Why don't you try it? It's a big cab and it has a limited (15 days?) trial.

The calender is WAY better than the Touch Flo, but other than that, it is just personal preference.
I think SPB shell is much better, due to the ability to customize. Pretty active community as well, meaning a steady supply of new widgets and customizations. Plus it's easy on the battery.
Definitely recommend the 15 day trial.
Since there are no custom roms for the CMDA version I currently use it. I prefer it over touch flow as you can customize it alot more and it uses alot less memory than TF3D does. It has a nice interface and it's fun to use if you get bored with TF3D or regular WinMo 6.1. If you are resourceful enough, you can use it for more than the trial.
tried SPB Mobile Shell,it's gorgous,of course it's better than Malina TouchFlo3D,I like it so much.
but i had to uninstall SPB Mobile Shell,the reason? it is not good at organizing calls and SMS,when there is miss call,SPB Mobile Shell only shows it for a while,then there is no indication you can see that there was a miss call.
this is terribly bad management.
IMHO it was worth it prior to TF3D as plain Windows Mobile 6 was pretty boring.
Now however its kinda like the old guy at the club.
I think touchflo looks nice and clean....BUT, mobile shell is crazy on the personnalization. ? 6 pages for personnalization + weather total of 17 pages with contacts and others .....I love it !
Take a look, it's sence la révolution v2 theme

Looking forward to that, I'm always changing and opened to new ideas !
Touch Flo has some serious usability problems.
Email and text messaging for instance.
If you want to check those it is a 3 step process most of the time.
SPB did a really good job making it basically a one touch method.
The eye candy is not as good and the calendar needs work but overall its faster to get things done with basically no lag.
The facebook integration IMO is better as well.
Worth the money.
I installed this theme and nothing is displaying correctly. Any ideas on what went wrong/ It seems like nothing is centered correctly.

I haven't had this issue at all. My notifications stay until I view them.
MS3 is always the first program I install on my phones. Love it, can't live without it. I live on the lifestyle screen, customized just how I like it.
I tried it a couple of days ago, and I guess I'm just getting old. There was a LOT of customization that you could do with it but I just didn't feel like going through all that to get it the way I wanted it. Out the box, I still couldn't get what I was looking for. I switched back to TF3D, but that's not to say that one is better than the other. It's really personal choice. I got pretty much all I need with a few tweaks and TF3D, but if I get bored, the Hero skin for SPB MS3 is looking really good.
Does anyone have any idea why when i install this theme it makes everything on my screen jibberish?
