Develop Bugs

New PointUI Home 1.02b released Feb 4

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but just wanted to let you know that a new version of PointUI Home was released Feb 4. Neat Home application. A few bug fixes make this extremely useful, and there is a black theme now! Not sure if I will keep it, but they've done a great jorb of replacing the Home screen.

Agree, it has become a valid substitute to HTC Home: lock screen and slide to unlock, close applications and weather. All that is needed is speeddial with photocontact.

can you uninstall the thing yet.....it was a pain to uninstall the last version & I couldn't change anything. Otherwise it worked really well.
Chris

seem to be much improved so far all my hardware button seem to work @ Chris, unfortunatley it still requires manual uninstallation...just using remove programs alone doesnt do the trik...still it only took me a couple minutes to install using winexplorer and manually deleting the reg entry

this apps is GREAT !!! but ..... freeze with Shadow TE WM 6.1
try to using with WM 6 only (for this time, i try to add with other ROM WM 6.1)

Modifications
Does anyone have explicit directions for how to modify the home screen email from outlook to a different account and how to map the phone icon to the dialpad? I read the Pointui forums and there were instructions but none seemed to work for everyone. I am using a Sprint Mogul and think that this is a fantastic application. When modifications become easier, I think tons of people will also try this.

There's a registry key you have to create...
Under HKLM/Software/Pointui/Pointui.Home/[version]/
Add a string under the [version] named "App.Email.Storename" and make the value of it the name of your mail. I modified mine to Gmail and it works fine.

Not Quite There
I'll be posting a long list to the PointUI forum, but this app isn't quite there yet for me. I like its interface better than HTC Home or the standard Today, but the way it is now it makes me less efficient and not more. Having to manually delete registry keys is also a pain.
A working uninstall is very important... especially with a beta. I know we're all "power users" here, and caveat emptor applies more to betas than final releases. But this to me is a pretty big oversight.

Uninstall not an issue for me...
I am running Schaps 4.3, and had the previous version of PointUI installed (1.01b). I saw the new version, uninstalled using the 'Remove Programs' link, and installed the new version. It is running just fine for me.

Hermes with Touch ROM?

Please look at this:
http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=0i_etWRPijM
How is this possible? Which ROM is that?
Thank you very much for your response

Any ideas guys?

Hi,
this is a Hermes Rom with elements of Touch.
wfg
Starbase64

think this is the newest one,
someone correct me if i'm wrong
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336234

But the Cube in this video is is full 3D with contact's picture real time rendering....
And how about scrolling Settings & Programs with a finger? My FTouchFlo doesn't do that

Look similar to Slither2006's HTC Cube OpenGL (SCLPC++ 0-051)(Coded from scratch in C++) , perhaps?

My opinion is, that this is only usage of existing elements ported from Touch and Kaiser - S2U2, HTC Home, FTouchFLO + SCLPC++, Pocket CM Contacts etc.
For me is also FTouchFlo working with finger, it is about correct gesture a presure. Using all these features except Pocket CM and it is working similar.
On this preview is missing f.e. HTC Large Start Menu and other minor portations as Random Access...

Very Cool !
I must say the customisations this guy showed off in the video are super cool. I havent seen this version of the cube anywhere. Not sure how he was using the full page scroll function and other smooth animations either. Wish there was some way of contacting the chap who posted it to ask him what applications he was using.
Anyone with any knowledge please enlighten us !
Cheers.

Do you know what's the different of this ROM??
Thanks

Flashed the M2D one & its quick, the best one the man's cooked yet. Just installed the volume control cab & a few other apps, even changed the iphone theme & it's still fast, no bugs as of yet i can find but will let you's know !!

Flashed the M2D, too.
very nice, but
The MessageTab (has to be activated by M2DC) doesnt work.
Did anyone make the same experience?

transylvania,
Flash it twice,
If going to change theme do it first then re-boot, use your M2DC to sort whatever you want then enable the messaging last, worked for me !!

Hi guys, flashed the basic version, works really well no bugs until now.
I tried to install htc menu enhancement but dont work.
Otherwise is really fast.
Regards

@droy68
Thanks for the advice - MessageTab works now!
and a special thank to
dheewatara-s
Great Job!!!
By the way, I can't see the ä,ö,ü in my sms, and my contcacts, is there any possibility to change this?
there are only Symbols instead of the "Umlaute" (it's a german thing only, so you can't translate it)

It is very old ROM.
Newest build 21189 @ 21193.

i am running the simple style one for a week now - man this sure is an alternative to the yue roms - speedy, slim, stable, added the "keep running with screen off", includes sound booster, 7 day gps tweak and many other goodies..
highly recommendable
greetz
edit:
wmp with screen off tweak is working with plugged in headset!:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\State\Unattended]
"WAV1:"=dword:00000000

i agree with that...
i'm using the lite since one day and it's good
but i recommend to change the pool size to 6 cuz it sitted to 4 to be more faster

Please keep posting your experience with this ROM, thank you!

frustrating once again...
marvelous rom, but drains me dead within two days, where yues extraclean runs a full 7 days, with approx. adequate usage
greetz
p.s.
am currently experimenting with an iphone 2g 16GB, but am missin my p330 already

@all,
is there any way to keep using resco home plugin, but use the standard dialer keyboard once pressing the green dialer button of the artemis?
thanx
EDIT: Found it:
Go to Start>Programs>Resco Contact Manager>Options and on the General tab uncheck the "Handle Incoming Calls" option and in "Send key Action" choose "Do not override" option.

Hey there guys, been reading the forums for a little while but this will be my first post as in the last 2 weeks or so i;ve been messing around with flashing some roms to my artemis and thought i'd give this a go. Its ref the messaging tab. Now i read the post on the previous page about it, did it but when i switched my device back on it seems that the messaging tab on M2d doesn't want to function. Anyone else having a similar thing whereby it works, then doesn't?

Just a few words to explain the most
bye bye yue you had your time
this rom rocks, running the simple beta1 version
TomTom or Navigon never ran faster then this on any rom for me, including the fixes.
keeper for sure.
only needed to edit the country setting, going for a small start menu and i'm happy
after fresh install 25mb mem free, with all those appzzzzzz, that's how i like it

[TWEAK] make your unlock-slider response immediately

Some of you guys might share one issue that I have with my blackstone device:
when waking up the phone, the unlock-slider remains unresponsive for two or so seconds. Thanks to edwardandtubs this has been resolved now. There's a simple registry value that needs to be changed in order to make the unlock-slider response immediately after waking up the device.
That key is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]"FirstCalibration"
Change the value from "1" to "0", softreset and you're done. Or download the cab I made, install it and softreset your device. It will change the registry entry for you.
According to edwardandtubs it's best to softreset the device by using the stylus and the softreset button on the back of the blackstone rather than softresetting it via software..

Can confirm this works with EnergyROM 23569 Sense 2.5 May 16th Co0kie's Home Tab

Thanks dkp1977

hi,
i have hd with 6.1 stock rom ...
i have battle ,when i make a phone call ,to unlock it.
the lock icon , remained unresponsive and i had to keep on pressing..icon.. two or three times to get response...!
( problem is ...my phone is set by me, to turn off screen ..also i have a tweak ..to lock screen on top of that )
with this reg . tweak ,i hardly touch icon and it unlocks ..!!!!!
no delay ...
working really smooth ,
thank you for sharing
willcor

Amazing stuff, this has been a niggly bug for ages. Many thanks

further to my above post,
i have also notice .......
when i " wake " phone from sleep and unlock it ..
there is... no lag on the homescreen and homescreen response, is immediately and very smooth .......!!!
this reg. tweak should also be in the
xda wiki - hd
" tweaks ,tricks and tips for your blackstone...!!" section.
thank you ..again
willcor

The guys who came up with that reg tweak deserve your props, mates. I just made an installable cab.

Just need a slider tweak that works nice and fast for htc sense on the blackstone, that can lag big time at times

This is what I've been looking for. Awesome. I'm gonna test it right now.

Must admit, I thought I thought it was just my HD being bloody slow off the mark.
But just installed, and that's sooo much better
Much thanks for this little one

cab is not working for me, using Energy.BLACKSTONE.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jun.06.Release2. Tried again after hard reset, same result.
but the manual way, i.e. changing the reg in regeditor works. anyway, thank you! credits to you for sharing and to the one who performed the magic

Autorotate hd mini!!!!

Hi,
I want to point out, this small (cab) found a rom for HD2 Laurentius26 (Thanks) link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044596, running on a HD MINI. It allows automatic rotation (landscape). I did tests on the main features of HD MINI, from start menu seems to work well. Obviously does not work perfect on home screen and dialer. is useful to me for example, in the Remove Programs screen.....
As Laurentius26 realized, would be nice to create for HD MINI, a dialer (phone keypad) to insert into a rom cooked .... combined with the cab autorotate.

hi, does it work in the sense? i mean for example in the music tab..does it rotate into landscape same as on hd2?

hi, I tried it now because I did not know if it worked, because I do not use Music tab.
It 'clear that they can not run those programs, which have no skin in the landscape. The CAB autorotate changes the (log system) on the instructions MANILA. I think! but inside 56KB adds nothing !!!!!
In fact, I think, Laurentius26 on ROM FOR HD2 added skins to PHONE DIALER to operate in landscape.
As I have said does not work with all programs in rom: dialer (phone keypad), etc. HOME SCREEN. . MUSIC TAB LANDASCAPE in fact it does not work with BSB Tweaks !!!!!
Do not be hard for something that is given for FREE!

First of all there are already a few threads which specifically discuss about this matter with different apps (Probably around 3).
As mentioned above, the problem does not lies on the AutoRotate app but Manilla itself so unless someone is willing to create HVGA landscape Manilla skin there wont be any landscape Manilla view for our HD Mini.
Considering the low activity of HVGA skin and app development, the chance is slim ....

In fact it is so Ahinigami. I cooked a Rom for hd mini. I'm looking at this work, an application that allows autorotate COMPLETE, to be included in ROM.
(As I said above) I opened this thread with the hope, too, that someone could make a skin for HD MINI laurentis26 as it did, at least for the telephone keypad.
But here it seems only .......... : download and install!
Update
And in fact sometimes life rewards bold .......
I was reminded that long ago I published a thread (TUTORIAL MOBILE MAGIC).
From that folder (attached to the thread) I managed to build a (cab package) and fully functional. I think I continue on this road ....

telephone keypad, is it the usual dialer we're using "cprog"?
If yes, it does support landscape mode ....

I just downloaded the dialer to pack kitchens.
then placed on ROM to HD2. but I just did download.
in the little free time I'm looking for a good rom to join HD mini. Now I'm considering O2_uk
anyway .... and now that I think I can do now a (cab package), if I can send you a private pm
UPDATE:
I understood the potential of HD MINI. I spent a little time,
and I made a special cab for PHOTON. is the dialer pad (telephone keypad) that I said above.
From the first test seems to work fine (I used MOBILE MAGIC) is enclosed SCREENSHOT 2/ 3 / 4. Thanks to Ahinigami to the stimulus.

removed in error

Hi.
Thanks for Auto-rotate
If you create a cab , please upload it ...

If you're planning to cook AutoRotate app into your rom, I suggest using simpler and smaller app specifically just for this purpose.
I've tried the cab you attached in the first post and it was quite buggy (Sense tab is not functioning properly such as alignment) and without any blacklist/whitelist feature.
On the other hand Mobile Magic (Beta) is a rich feature app but comes with larger footprint.
If you've the time, pls do try out ChangeScreen. It has a simple and easy to use interface and smaller footprint.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw, if you're planning to include AutoRotate app into your Rom, do you plan to allow just a few selected app such as Shell32 (Start Menu), dialer, and Sense (When possible)?
Some programs are not rotate friendly and will stop working properly once rotated so you should take this into account too.

Hi Ahinigami ,
ChangeScreen I tested (I did not know) but absolutely bad (on my rom). It should immediately crash and lock system. I could not even evaluate the memory usage when this program is resident in memory.
However, I'm working on another program, and I am considering just the memory used, depending on the version used the same program. In fact, the features that I want to achieve are: the fluidity of the graphics, speed, low memory but also the workers!
For the delay on the dialer cab I apologize! Patience!
But I do not eat with it! I do this for a hobby ...... but I also have my job!
For tonight than upload a new thread in the dialer pad and the cab to rotate + tutorial. Afternoon do the last test and upload!!!

I see, take your time .... Having a new developer for HD Mini is a good news itself for me.
There is nothing I can do for you but I could at least help you to try out your new app and rom when released.

Ahinigami Thanks!
is a pleasure for me to be of help! Experience together!

Hola, great work you´re doing here
I´ve been comparing the Mini and the HD2 for a while now, and even though I´ve also achieved to rotate (force rotation) Manila/Sense, it´s not ported to landscape yet (7c60907d_manila, 22e41977_manila, 14394200_manila) and has never been. The fact is that we should have to decompile and mode some of the manila core files for it, assigning in those files the corresponding positions for the elements...
Now, if all you want to do is to be able to rotate everything else, that´s easier since a few reg entries will do that for quite some apps (see L26 rotation cab) OR by using a very simple and powerfull app like xHook or xtask. I use it on both my Mini and HD2 (yep, with Laurentius beta ROMs) and I can rotate "on demand" everything (except sense) by simply assigning the winflag softkey to the rotation of 270 degrees within xtask

Hi BHS_ Interceptor,
Thank you very much.
You gave some very interesting news!
I think it is the right way, ......
In fact that's what I'm trying to implement. From your suggestions, I will try to work .... because I want to get the final result that you wrote above. Well.

Hola Oregon, glad my post was useful. If there is anything else I can do, just let me know.
Btw, if you simply use the reg keys and also enable autorotate, the behaviour on the Mini will not suffer except on Sense. You would have to add a lot of exe´s to the white list and after installing new apps, some of this would have/need to be added as weel. Using xTask/xHook, you don´t have to worry about white list nor anything else, even about registry, since it rotates on demand what ever and when ever you press the set Key. You can also assign another key for it, but I like the win flag since we already have another one right below the softkey. If you replace the winfla icon with a "rotate" icon" then all looks perfect as well
Btw, on my HD2 (I´m also a member in Laurentius Platinum Beta team) I have assigned the button through the "build in" taskmanager Leo is using for the ROM...
