wisbaradv2

hi,i found this WisBar is the leading task management software(skinable)
for the PocketPC and i ve tired it.its really cool.
so i just wanna share with u guys and hope u like it

Wowsers - Just added it to my MDA3.. Look fab!
Thanks for sharing!

Wisbar is good, but slows down my BA alot. It tends to mess up quite alot too. Like sometimes certain bubbles won't open. Also, the alert icon isn't specific (ie. no way of telling whether you have a missed call/message/low battery/GPRS connection just by looking)
I find that you spend as much time double checking things using wisbar as you would just closing all the apps separately.

wisbar is a great skinning program but not a very good task manager.
i am actually waiting for the version that disables all features except for the skinning ability.
this is actually a frequently requested add-on

I tried this and it killed my ringtone. I could not tell when someone rang me it did not even show up a missed call is this common or just me?

you have to get the latest version. go to the lakeridge site and enter the forum.there you will find the latest build that works.

currently i'm using wisbar advance 2.4.1.8 along with wisbar advance desktop beta .07
It's running pretty stable and it takes less memory usage than spb pocket plus.
here's some screenshot of wad

Wow, seriously guys, i think this wisbar adv. v2 is kinda cool, i mean there is so much more you can do with it than what u normally can with default ppc software, i got a m2000 and it works well. It used to lock up forcing soft resets really often, but now i upgraded to v2.4.1.8 and i cant even remember when last it locked up.
I really think this is a program worth getting...
well done to Chris McKay and Lakeridge Software for this awesome program...well done guys

official htc 3.54 ger rom problems

hy all. after using this rom for a month now i ran into several probs.
1) when i lock my tytn, and someone calls me, i cant answer the call, then i cant unlock the phone because the unlock in the lower left corner is replaced by the lost call notification. the first half of the month i have this problem not very often, but now i have it on every call. so i loose every call, the SR, then unlock, then call back. (really cool this problem)
2) bluetooth worked fine, but now i cant enable it without doing a SR before enabling it.
3) omg, it is so slow after a month of use! i SR nearly every day, i delete temps with cleartemp, but its so slow now. for example, when i write a new message, and then switch to landscape, i think i have to wait about 20-30 secs, before its rendered. and the same after sending sms and switching back to portrait home screen.
4) sometimes it looks like everything is ok, but when i try to tab something a realise, that my tytn is completly dead. (i have bought a second mobile phone and use it, when the tytn is dead. and what i want to say o this bug: nice piece of software ms! i feel like an alpha tester for ms! but i had to pay for it. )
all these bugs appeared after a few weeks!
installed software:
pocketrar (newest)
htc task manager 1.51
htc music plugin 1.0
adobe reader 2
cleartemp (newest)
emil andersson pocket sudoku
i hope some ms devs read this thread, think about it and learn something for the future.

I am running the same T-Mobile Germany ROM and have no such issues! It looks to me like your device is running out of memory! How much memory is still available on your device? Where did you install your apps - phone or card?
Try to run your device without the TASK MANAGER for a while, maybe that is what is eating your memory ...

Need a feedback from someone who has tried it!
HAPPY NEW 2008!

looks good
works great
the touch movement is so smooth & light to use....unlike the touch flo with some on the roms

and this seems to be the cab...

working great
Hi dudes, just install it, working great on Trinity. really smooth, amazing stuff, thanks for the great post bro.

yes i think many will be shocked at how good this home cab really is
you guy need to try it....what have you to lose

The directories in the German WM6 version don't match.
For example directory "start menu" is "Startmenü".
The PointUI Software does not find the programs.

I have loaded it on my Trinity running AX3L 3.12. It all seems to be working ok except that the time won't change to 24hr mode and the dialer won't work in the call history. I've tried changing the region etc., it still dials and I get a message from my provider saying that it is not a valid number. If I go to my normal call history in Windows 6, it works as normal.
Also, touch flow doesn't seem to work proplerly outside of the Home environment. I have uninstalled my 1.41 touchflow because it conflicts with the Home app gestures. So now touchflow only works within the Home app.
If I go to Wifi settings, Home takes me to the GSM data connection settings, not Wifi settings. The battery icon at the top doesn't indicate charging, and although I haven't tested Home for very long, it may be a battery eater...too early to tell for sure.
For the first incarnation, this looks very promising.

any problems just sign up to there forum
they are a very helpful bunch of people

Tried!
Works!
Lived 2 minutes.
Uninstalled!
I don't really like the touch things, neither flow not this.
Plus, it hung several times while I tried to set weather location for my city.
Also, I have my Trinity all black, this is nice, but blue.

i hope this will be available in android.. as as 1 of the gui!!... great..

Looks nice but is there any easy way to get into the contacts from this software?
Would be nice if one could change the colour of it too.

Revised version with a little more customization available for download already. these developers do listen!

Version 1.0 had some language issues.
Version 1.01b drained my battery within 1/2 day.
Best "Finger"-Software but not stable on the P3600.

have had it for 2days on my m700 working great very finger friendly battery nothing unusual to speak off the same as always and im using Schaps Wm6 WWE rom which by the way rocks

Great product and for free. Love it!
Definitely worth a donation to keep it free and updated

Today screen countdown timer required

Hi
Has anyone seen a countdown timer that sits on the todayscreen? I am looking for a freeware version.
The reason is I am off on a holiday in less than 3 months and want to know how many days and hours till I go just by looking at my phone - (without opening a program hence the today screen) I have searched the forums for a few weeks but haven't found anything yet (but that could just be my searching technique!!).
Once the holiday is up I would look to use it for other events that are coming up.
thanks in advance

Wow, you must really want that holiday badly.
Job sucks, huh?

lol, yep!!
i'm going to new zealand for 3 weeks (and visiting someone out there ) - going to be hard to come back after!!
I'm also competing in a Half Marathon a few weeks prior, and need to know how many days left I have for training at a glance. So ideally the today app should pick up on the dates from the calender and then display them on the today screen (I think thats the ideal way...but i'm not a programmer so wouldn't know for sure! lol). I've seen quite a few countdown type programs but none that sit on the today screen (from what I can tell - want to preserve battery life so don't want it running constantly which is another reason why I like the idea of it going on the today screen and the Touch HD (or mine at least) needs the battery life preserving as much as possible - usually manage 2 days before charging - have run it out in 12 hours and less though before now....and once managed 4 days before charging....but that was without talking to anyone at all!!!)

Still no luck finding what i'm after - searched here and other forums - if anyone has seen something that is similar to what i'm looking for, please feel free to pm me.
does anyone know how to program this?
cheers

count down timer
Hi,
Try this little CAB used to use it on my tytn but not tried it on my HD.
Hope it works, enjoy your holls.
(it works on the today screen so cant use it with TF3D)
install then soft reset, then activate through settings.
regards
Jon

Thanks Jon, just what was needed and another satisfied xda-dev customer!
Edit update:
installed and running fine on the HD so far.

Have a great holiday. Hope she's worth it.
(BTW, whereabouts in NZ are you going?)

So do I!! lol
Going all over, visiting both Islands -North and South and trying to see and photograph as much as possible. Will be there for 3 weeks but the time will fly by too quickly before the reality of coming back to work sets in
My next task for the HD is to find some New Zealand maps for TT7 (in English of course) .....time to start another search!!

Hi
I set mine up by going to the Start menu (I'm not using TF3D) settings, Today icon, then the Items tab, then touch T-Day Counter and press options on the right, then just input the the date you need to count down to and press OK top right. (making sure that it has a tick on the tickbox) and it should appear on the Today screen telling you how many days left
hope that helps
Will

[Q] Is there some kickass Today screen?

Could someone give a really good advice with link to themes for it so I can see...
I have tried so many plugins that my eyes are bloody already...

thank you.

Try this:

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.
