How would you change where the buttons on the touchflo cube point? Would it be possible to point the contacts icon on the cube to PocketCM instead of WM contacts.
Also, it would be nice to be able to keep the cube open behind the application you launch, so that when you exit, it goes back to the cube.
Sorry if this has been answered already, but i couldnt see it anywhere!
Thanks in advance,
Ben.
it has indeed been answered in another thread.
But especially for you: you can modify the Buttons via Biotouch in your Programs.. The Cube can't be held open. I guess it would eat a lot of Memory anyways..
Thankyou very much for you reply!
However, I dont see anywhere in "BioTouch Settings" that lets you define the contacts button that you get below the 9 quick dial pictures. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Ben
oh, this one you can't change afaik. The contacts page on the cube seems to be the program itselfes and if you click to the contacts symbol it changes the view to the contacts program.
read tom's first post of his B&B4 thread. he added a big list of how to change stuff. one of the entries reads:
"Want Set Pocket CM to default contacts ?? ----> HERE<------"
click it, read it, be happy
hi,
i've been searching for a mod for the standard calendar / a new calendar that would show the color by catagory for the appointments just like you have it in outlook 2k7 or in essential PIM.
i'm using my hx4700 as 640x480 and have plenty of space (big thx to tobias' REAL VGA)
so my question is - is there a way to mod the original calendar to show the appointment bars in category depending colors?
i'm not very much into programming - so i hope that some one could help me a bit
tia,
h3rkie
_________ edit ___________
to point out more exactly what i'm missing -> i don't want a week to be displayed like it is in agendus or pocket informant - that kind of a layout is crap. the way the wm6 internal calendar shows a week is great, it's just missing some color option (i'm missing it)
hi again
could someone just tell me if i've posted this into the right forum for my question?
if so - does this mean that there simply is no solution to my problem?
greets
Same Interest...
I'm interested in the same addition/modification. I'm currently using Agenda Fusion, which is sloooow on my Touch, just so I can have that weekly view with the color-coded appointments (by categories). Would definitely be willing to donate to an able development effort! Thanks.
still searching ...
will donate for a working solution
Just want to know if there is any way to hide the call history on the main Home page.
I find it useless as it's good for the initial stage of reminding me of a missed call, but other than that it's wasted space.
I would prefer to have more space for calender contacts.
What you're asking is not easy...... You have to use manila editor, search it in this room. Unfortunately there aren't lots of better solutions, if you take my advice you 'll have to replace Manila with somethig else.
For instance, you could use a classic today screen including in it the PDC (Pocket Display Clock, see on www.freewarepocketpc.net) and if you want a calendar with wider features than the standard ones you can install TodayAgenda, it's free and has lot of display options (it basically replaces both Calendar and Task plugins with a more compact and customizable one).
You see, this is a "static" solution, that is you haven't a dynamic plugin like Manila in which you can change tabs and views using you fingers, but a simplier classic plugin with a complete agenda tool..... I don't know what you 're looking, but if you have Manila and you are looking for something else, this will be good for you....... TodayAgenda is the best for me.
See you
Hi everybody,
sorry for my bad english.
I have a HTC Touch 3g (Jade) with original ROM (new update), but installed the M2DC-Programm and I´m using a personalized skin.
In M2DC you can enable or disable parts of the Home XML, for example the lines between clock, missed calls and the calendar.
When I disable all of them, there is still a small line under the second calender entry. When only one entry is shown, there´s no line.
The line itself is not centralized, it´s so called "left-aligned".
Maybe there´s anyone who knows how I can get rid of this line, which ist only shown, when there´re two calender entries on the Home XML.
I´m not very confidend in hacking files, but when there´s a possibility to change the HomeXML-File I would try to do it.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,

Hi everyone, I am a cooker ( doing great things, but mainly a noob one compared to some masters out there ) .
Cooking on the Omnia I900 & Acer S200 ( french rom only), these devices have low memory.
For example the acer S200 only has 256mb of ram, but mainly the same hardware than the powerful HD2(except ram....:-( )
Arto ( great cooker of the Acer S200 scene ) has found that removing the start menu completely gains 15mb Ram on our devices ( by fooling the system with empty .cpr grid, icons caches aren't generated.)
This can help people make really light roms!!! The main problem now is the we don't have here a real startmenu alternative, a eye candy one than keep the spirit of our devices... Quickmenu is functionnal but not too beautiful.
After many searches over xda, the only thing I found was Quickmenu and the sense Startmenu replacement ( I modded the kenia1234 startmenu replacement to give it 5 columns, here is the work : 5 columns start sense2.5 menu replacement )
I don't know why developper aren't interested in making a real , fast and beautiful startmenu replacement ( with full fonctionnality, at least control panel wikth .cpl files abilty, and even more folder architecture, fullscreen, lightweight ),
but here is the request or that, If others than me are interested, please reply and tell your needs, to help developpers...
Something like Panoramic Launchpad would be great!
Last week I started creating a startmenu alternative. It's very underdeveloped, and I have no idea when it's finished, but to give you an idea I attached two screenshots.
It still lacks a couple of features (if someone can point me in the right direction, please do so ):
- no control panel items yet
- no icon transparency (I got that working, but it was horribly slow)
- no background (because of the lack of transparency)
- no hook on the hardware windows key (like quickmenu)
- no hook on the software start button (like ameba does on winmo 6.5.x)
- if there's no png file attached to a link, no icon is displayed
But the other basics are working:
- starting programs by clicking (yes I know, very basic )
- flipping pages by swyping your finger (left->right, right->left, up->down, down->up)
- opening folders, and going back up one level with the left soft button (just like the usual start menu)
I actually started this because I'm not a fan of the hexagon grid styled start menu, not because of memory issues. I did take a look at the current memory usage of my start menu, and currently it is 1.41MB. But that will grow with more icons and transparency I guess.
If you're interested I can continue developing this startmenu.
The most important thing to me is ram usage, the lower it is the best it is,
the png file limitation to display an icon should be reconsidered, the ability to display native icon is much more important, or, much easily to program, you can make your app request the "HKLM\Security\StartInfo\Start\myprog.lnk" key to read the icon you should display, if nothing is entered, lets just start the native icon.
This is important to make your startmenu replacement user friendly. nobody likes assigning manually an icon to an app, having the ability to do it is good, but the most important for the users is that your program automaticaly displays the native icon like the start menu does.
To use cpl, you just have to use a ctlpnl.exe command line, like this :
ctpnl.exe mycpl.cpl
if cpl has multiple tab, ctpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,1 ( where the number is the tab you want to be open)
for cpl files, I thinks its the big part of the job :-(
What I meant with:
- if there's no png file attached to a link, no icon is displayed

My program uses the icons set in HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start, but if it's an older program, there might not be a high resolution icon, and in that case I won't display any icon. That's something I will fix ofcourse.
I'll have a look at the cpl files, and I guess google will help me there as well.
Also looking for a way to show my startmenu instead of the winmo startmenu, but no luck so far. If anybody knows how to catch when the winmo startmenu is activated in c#, please let me know.
Hi guys
Have you ever heard of iPhoneToday http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633618 ? It's so light and configurable
XTask has a good looking, light start menu replacement.
If you leave out the start_icon.png's, then the native icons are used. The 6.5 start menu also slows down boot time dramatically. Just delete all the shortcuts, soft reset, and check the millisecondtoidlethread in hkcu/performance. Boot time may be 20-30 seconds faster.

This certainly looks very interesting! Please continue, I also hate the honeycomb (as many people around).
I like this

Hi m8
I also hate the startmenu but this is cose it eats arround 30mb of ram...

Look this post its working fine on Blackstone NRG roms.

I just dont like the replacement menu or the quickmenu
Your app can be assigned to startmenu button with ameba
If can i help with your project on this just let know
Also keep in mind that many shells (Throttle Launcher, Mobile Shell etc) read the data to load program shortcuts from the start menu, so that the replacement has to take care of that too.
what do you think about wisbar 4? would this be an alternative to quick menu? i was using this prog. a year ago and i was totaly impressed. now i use it again together with the new energy rom from august 28. after the replacement from the start menu i have real nice and fast blackstone
