I have recently upgraded from and O2 XDA Orbit to XDA Zest and really like what I see, but there were some things on the Orbit which do not appear to be on the Zest:
What has happened to the handy little O2 Today plugin that could show the next however many appointments you wanted on the Today screen and also up to 6 shortcuts to applications that would fit in one little line across the screen?
Also, I tried to install a phonepad to input with instead of the keyboard, etc. but it only shows up REALLY small on my screen. Any ideas or better suited ones than the HTC one?

Are there any artemis users that run this application??
What are your experiences (especially when it comes to stability)?
Had it on trial for about 10 days
Looks great, and so far no stability issues at all
I love the front screen
I've loved Mobile Shell. But I found I was having to reset about three or four times a day. I uninstalled it and everything went back to normal.
This was with both the O2 XDA Orbit rom and the HTC P3300 rom.
Hi,
I've been using it for almost a week now. no problems at all.
Now screens is just great. everything that you need on one screen with a nice layout. just try it out and you w'll see.
PS. using it on XDA Orbit (orrigenal rom).
I've been using it for 2 weeks now without any problem. Its user interface and functionality are brilliant.
Other users have reported battery leaks with their other PDA devices, but so far I don't have this problem with my O2 Orbit. It's been told that this problem is device-specific incompability. Hopefully it's not a problem for the Orbit.

Have been using it for few weeks.
Functionality wise, I'd say it is OK, but the lovely Now screen is simply awesome. Also it saves space on Today screen by encompasing few ones i had before separately. Don't use the menu they have as it defaults to launching default applications that come with WM5. I wish in future versions those can be custumized, then it will be simply awesome ... a must must have. Doesn't eat system resources .... a neat app.
Problems - none at all on P3300 with PDAMobiz Powermap 1.1.2 ROM.
I've been using it until my stupid flash accident. After recovery I decided not to install it again. In general the app is very good. I loved the Now screen but 'finger menu' used to drive me crazy. Brilliant idea but wased. I couldn'd understand (or been stupid not being able to find) that there is no customizations of the items locations. Once an item used then it changed its position and instead of speeding access I've been stairing at the screen not seeing where did the f...g app go. I guess it supposed to organise the layout by the frequency of usage but the result was unacceptable for me.
That is my expirience. There is no better way than to try it.
I've had this one on for 2 weeks now and am finding it doesn't play nicely with Wisbar advance 2? After I take a call and it goes back to the today screen or now screen, I lose the wisbar top bar with the buttons on and have to close and restart wisbar to get them back... Anyone else running this combination of software and having the same problem ??
Would love to have a solution to this cos I cant do without either of them to be honest. They're both very cool apps
I've been using it for more than 2 weeks. Like it very much. Only one problem found: sometimes the Battery tab of the Today applet (that contains the recently used programs' icons too) losts all icons and becomes empty. Only soft reset helps.
Since it rarely happens, I can live with it and don't want to get rid of this great app.
And yes: I strongly hope that there will be som customization possibility in the next version of the app. For example I use Spb Imageer for handling, editing pictures, and it is an app from the SAME FIRM, but I cannot put it into the Multimedia section of the Spb menu...
Im quite new to this, but I read somewhere that the HTC touch and all the touch series are not real touch systems like the iPhone in that they also allow the use of a stylus.
Does this mean that they basically use the same type of screen as the other devices and as such the Touchflow system is just a Software trick ?
That led me to wonder if the Touchflow system could be flashed onto other devices I have an XDA Exec (Universal) and an XDA Orbit (not sure of the HTC designation for this) so Im specifically asking about these two devices.
Thanks in advance.
Touchflo!!
If you search threads for Xda orbit (HTC Artemis or HTC P3300) touchflo, you can download the ROM to replace the existing ROM on your Orbit and this will allow you to use the touchflo on your phone!
I've been using it for the past few months and it's all fine at the moment.
I hope that enough info for you!
i'm poor bought a refurb 8525 from att for $129. have wanted one of these forever, wifey finally gave me permission and got one yesterday. looks brand new and seems to work great.
first thing i did was update to wm6 pro off of htc's website. everything worked fine and has the correct rom and now says wm 6 pro.
i thought one of the differences between 5 and 6 was the large icons on the main screen? the main screen looks just like wm 5. is there a way to go to the larger icons or is this just a diluted version of wm6?
tks for all help
You are probably talking about HTC Home. Is it the thing with the big digital clock and the icons underneath it? Use google to search this site for HTC Home Plugin. Download it, install the cab and viola.
I've upgraded my ROM to Artemis Vanilla 4.01 from the O2 custom WM6 on my Xda Orbit.
I love the new conversation grouping, but am really missing the profile selector. I found it really good to have the profiles all set up and just flick between them depending where I was.
Does anyone know if this application is available anywhere? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Ta, Ian
Hello all!
For quite some time, I've been playing around with different interfases, looking for the one that would best fit my needs.
A few may have skipped my net, but I've been through WAD, Pointui, Ifonz, Winterface, etc etc, and believe me, etc etc etc
None of them seem to be the "all inclusive" I needed until after many weeks, decided to stick to Winterface, primarily, thanks to the work of davehutch and oscarbum with their Stickerface and Tenius themes which made Winterface a bit more palatable.
Yesterday I came across an article at mobility site which spoke about a Winterface version for the i-mate (http://mobilitysite.com/2008/12/vito-powers-i-mate-go/).
In a nutshell, it's a new Winterface version made for the i-mate, but here's the thing:
1) It's a 100% free version (aka, activated)
2) From what I've seen, it works on any wm5 and wm6 device
Why bother? Ok... Here's why: I understand that the "black" themes are having their moment, but the truth is they are unreadable in daylight conditions. And as crazy as it may sound, I use my phone outdoors.
So this version has BIG chunky icons on a white background which makes it very easy to read and see with all the Winterface benefits.
I'm sure the likes of oscarbum and davehutch can come up with some new icons, but this is the refreshing change I've been after some time.
Enjoy and let me know how you went with it.
** Added the cab for your reference **
fantastic, I never liked the small buttons of winterface when using my mda compact iv, it was too difficult to get them to work since the screen is quite small for a vga device.
works great, I can't thank you enough
Hey, no problems. I'm glad to start contributing for a change!
hey man thanks for putting up the .cab file (been looking all over for this) but do you know if it'll do fine on a QVGA or VGA
Works fine on QVGA, even works on WM2003.
Only caveat with this version is it's not full screen and it is so easy to close Winterface by accident. I raised this with Vito and was advised to upgrade to the newer version.
That said I have tried to live with it but have ended up going back to a modded SPB MobileShell as it shows more on my home page.
How can you make this 'today-app' be the one always shown if you start instead of TouchFlo?
I have the Touch HD/Blackstone
/edit
nvm.
Someone told me that it's not a today-app xD
So it won't be a home screen for me.
Default Today Screen??
Is there a way to make this interface the default today screen, I keep accidentally closing the program
