i just saw the demo of the TouchFLO software for the HTC Touch.
Does anybody know if this also will work on the Artemis?
And is it already available?
Thanks!
no it's not possible on the artemis cause they use a differend kind a touchscreen.
but i really like the shortcutscreen with pictures to dial. i hope someone can make it available for the artemis
spb mobile shell has a pic dialer
there's a file called todayphoto.cab i think, that's a home screen plugin where you can just touch the picture to initiate a call. has limitations, but works

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't think so. It must be the same technology.
Ich you think of Apples Multitouch: HTC Touch doesn't have it.
I have been shown a bandango video of an S200 working flawessly with touchflo interface.
Sorry not to have the url.
If touchflo runs on a S200 screen, it should run also on artemis
What i dont know is if it would run only under WM6, or also under WM5
Hi, I've just had a quick look at the Elf/Touch on youtube, very very nice. So it has finger scrolling of all lists kinda like Larna's iContacts. I just downloaded a rom dump from the touch and it looks like if I had any idea at all what I was looking at there might be a dll or an exe or something else that could just be copied into my orbit so I could have that lovely scroll thing, Yeah and the contacts app looks really good as well. The animated launcher cube looked nice but spb mobile shell comes close at least in a utilitarian way in functionality.
The rom dump was dead easy to find by searching in the Elf forum. Would be nice if a brain could have a sniff through it.
I'm really curious about how Office Mobile performs on HTC Touch HD.
As i tried it with HTC diamond i view doc file or pdf file in vertical way and can be ZOOMED easily. But when i tried it in horizontal way these two file types aren't zoomable ? Is it the same to HTC Touch HD. Is there any solution for it ? Can u show me your picture with the solution. Many thanx. That's the most important thing i really care about the HD because as u know it's very nice to browse web on HTC touch HD but is it the same to reading offline document (pdf and doc file i really hate to read in vertical way especially for pdf file)
I took some pictures of a pdf and a doc file, each in portrait and in landscape mode. I could zoom fine at all times in every mode. The Word doc is at 75% zoom in the pictures. For Word, you have the option of 50, 75, 100, 150, 200% zoom. I also included a picture with the keyboard showing in landscape, so you see how much screen it takes.
Keep in mind that when reading pdf files, there are two options:
1. If the file is "tagged", then it's text will reflow upon zooming. This means you don't have to scroll left and right to read a long sentence. It will just reflow to the next line, so you only have to scroll up and down. This is nice for reading, but the layout might be messed up depending on whether or not there are pictures, tables, columns etc.
2. If the file is not tagged, then it will look just like on your desktop pc. You'll have to scroll up/down and left/right to read.
I believe transferring a pdf through ActiveSync can (or will?) tag it in the process. I'm not sure, though. However, a pdf file transferred through normal copy and paste into a folder will not be tagged.
On your desktop PC you can also open adobe and select to view a file in tagged (=reflow) view. Just open a pdf, zoom in so that you can't see an entire text line from left to right. Then press Ctrl+4 or go to view--zoom--reflow.
I find that the search function in a pdf on a pocketpc is really slow. However, I must say that some of the pdf files I've tried it on are 700 pages long. I don't read them on my HD; they are more of a reference material.
I hope it helps.
EDIT: I FORGOT SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT..... Keep in mind that to rotate these files into landscape mode, you need third-party software like Gsen or Gyrator!
I noticed that there was no option for reflow on the Acrobart Reader LE built in my HD. However, I have found Adobe Reader LE Diamond version from the net and it can use reflow for all the pdf books I have tried so far. It has the option in both landscape and vertical orientations. One proplem I had was once you make full screen there is no way back. But still,it not a big deal. PDF performance has been increased a lot with this version and I have been reading huge sized boks since.
Micro olap chm reader is also perfect for CHM books and works very vell on HD
Correct, I don't see a reflow option in Adobe Reader LE on the HD either. I didn't know you had one on the Diamond.
As far as the full screen issue - when you are in full screen just tap twice on the screen to exit full screen mode.
Another suggestion is to convert your pdf file into an ebook. You can do it all for free. I have tried it out with MobiCreator and it worked okay except for any pictures and tables in the pdf. So, depending on the pdf file's contents and layout, you mind find it to work very well or only so-so. The nice thing about doing that is that the text will reflow quite nicely. Anyway, for someone who often reads pdf files on the HD, it would be worth it to give it a test-run. I'm sure there are other software options. I have only tried it with with Mobi. If anyone has any suggestions please post them. One downside here is navigation (unless you spend time creating a few navigation links).
Links:
MobiCreator (will work on Vista too)
MobiReader for the HD (download the second to last one on the list - name = "mobiread.arm.cab"). This allows you to read the created files.
I'll have to check Micro olap chm reader. I have some chm books I would like to load onto my HD. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you very much for your opinion. I'm considering to choose HD or Xperia but now I will buy HTC Touch HD when i go back to UK. Is there any recommend shop in uk which i can buy HTC Touch HD without contract? I found somepeople talk about www.clove.co.uk. Is it safe to buy there i mean in case my phone has any faults on design, software, screen ... Can i send back to the shop or i have to send it to HTC Europe warranty ??
I have tried double tapping of course Unfortunately, in this version with freeflow, it doesn't seem to work. Even if it cannot go out of full screen, acrobat reader le with reflow makes it ideal for reading and I cannnot really complain.
I am attaching the version with reflow but I really cannot remember from which forum/thread I have downloaded this and sorry about the missing credits.
Thanks for the tip regarding MobiCreator I didn't know it could convert from PDF as well.
I'm trying to find a hack for PIE in WM 6.5 to see Picture Mail in the old format instead of the newer one. I have a cab that allows me to do it in WM6.1. But I was wondering if anyone figured out how to do in WM6.5. This is just one of my gripes with 6.5 is that I can't see a picture mail in IE without going through the slideshow. If anyone has a solution please let me know. I wish I had a screenshot to show the difference between the old version vs the new version. I'll post the cab to see if it can be altered to work with WM6.5
I've been having the same problem. I updated to NFSfan's 6.5 v12, but I am now downgrading IE to 6.1 instead of 6.5 and then using the hack cab you provided. Heres the link for the downgrade if you want to give it a shot: LOOK AT 2ND POST.
If I get time to get back later, I will post my results
hi guys!
i'm looking for a picture viewer program; like ACDSee on PC!
ist there any similar program available for X1 (WM 6.1)
i watched several threds but i could'nt find anything.
hope you can help me!
EDIT: sorry for new thread... i found an application on my phone
Also check out the new Resco Photo Viewer, it's in Beta but is really good, probably the best out there at the moment: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555204
There's also xnview for mobile. Works pretty good, and it's free too.
What do you want to do with it that the standard HTC or MS picture viewer can't do?
Hi!
After upgrading to the official HTC WM6.5 ROM I am experiencing some issues using the 'Save As' functions in Word and Excel Mobile.
I used to be able to use my device to open .docx and .xlsx files and save as .doc and .xls (we don't have Office 2007 at work yet, and can't install compatibility pack as not an Admin).
Now, if in portrait mode, Word and Excel hang as soon as I try to change anything on the screen - in landscape it's not so bad, except that you can't select any other Word or Excel format other than 2007 as the drop-down doesn't work!
Anyone else suffering this and has anyone found a way around it?
Cheers
Try install this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586792
Cheers AxlR - tried this and it still does the same - it appears to be a conflict between the HTC onscreen keyboard and the Save As system interface as it hangs as soon as the Keyboard is displayed.
Anyone else having this issue?
