quick dialer from cube as a .cab?

anyone know of a cab file for the quick dial contacts screen/page of the cube. it's all use the cube for, so i'd like to just have my other favorites (main ones being on home) mapped to a button. just press and it's there, without the cube animation etc.
cheers
or failing that, which files to extract from windows etc before copying to new 'cubeless' rom, if that's possible.

Standalone Quickdial.exe from Cude
Bump...
I have the same question (1.5 years later). Is there a standalone version of the QuickDial application from the HTC Cube (without TouchFlo and without the Cube)? I would like to call it from a shortcut on the today screen so that I can dial favorite contacts safely while driving. (A VGA version would be even better.)

BTW: I know that TF3D has a similar contacts dialer, but I have TF3D disabled because...
1) I can't customize the TF3D home screen to suite my needs
2) The device lock doesn't work in TF3D with device pin protection enabled, but the regular WM6.1 "Today Screen" device lock does work.
If someone knows how to bring-up the TF3D contacts screen with TF3D disabled, then that would work for me.

incorporating sbp into tf3d

ok guys I just got my hd a few days ago.
I had an att tilt before and used spb suite with it.
I like the look of TF3d but it is not much function.
Can any one figure out a way of incorporating spb diary into TF3d.
thanks

I too am a fan of the Spb suite. I have successly incorportated it by using SecondToday to switch to it. I used Advanced Config to reprogramme the left-hand softkey to SecondToday (I initally programmed the PDA to switch to Spb Diary when clicking on Calendar on the home-page, but found this too clumsy to use, and much prefer switching to it from the left-hand softkey).
When switching to SecondToday, click and hold on any blank part of the screen to enter set-up. I have configured this just to show Spb Diary filling the whole screen. I can access the rest of the Spb function from the right-hand softkey.
I find this whole arrangement works really well.
For Spb fans, note that the new updated Weather program also runs as a stand-alone program, and so can be accessed directly from TF3D. This provides a much more accurate forecast than the AccuWeather page.

[APP] TouchFlow Detacher

TouchFlo Detacher is yet another way to simultaneously have TouchFlo 3D and the regular Today screen. Previous excellent solutions include SecondToday and ManilaControl.
Description
So what makes it different? Well, this app is actually very similar to MastSogo's ManilaControl. The main difference is that the author plans to actively develop it for a while, whereas ManilaControl has been a bit frozen in development for a few months. It is also open source, licensed under the Ms-RL. The program is on CodePlex, so download speeds should be much better than the average rapidshare link. Finally, it is in English and not Spanish. Other than that, it's just another solution for the same problem!
See it in action on the YouTubes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk0xWm8PMGQ
Download the CAB and source code here: http://www.codeplex.com/TFDetacher
Installation
As explained on CodePlex...
1. Install the CAB
2. Run the configuration app
3. Enable all the standard Today Items you want to use
4. Do not re-enable TouchFlo 3D in the Today items (if you do, it will undo all your other Today plugins)
Requirements
Windows Mobile 6.1
.Net Compact Framework 2.0
A device that runs TouchFlo3D / Manila
Current features
- Free up your Today screen by hosting Manila outside of the Today screen! TouchFlo Detacher can launch/show/hide/close Manila independent of any other Today screen settings. Now you can have your TouchFlo cake and eat it too! The most obvious use is to assign a soft key to toggle between seeing TouchFlo and seeing the regular Today screen.
- Service runs as a background application (in your StartUp folder) for maximum speed when toggling Manila modes.
- NO ANNOYING SPLASH SCREEN when application launches.
- Service is 100% idle when not receiving messages or controlling TouchFlo, so no CPU is wasted! (Just a tiny bit of RAM)
- Configuration application allows modifying manila.exe location, manila window class, and more, so that this utility can (presumably) be used with other manila versions (such as TouchFlo 2D). This is untested. Out of the box, it supports TouchFlo 3D in its default configuration as seen on the Diamond/Pro/HD.
- Configuration application can clean out the ManilaActivateToday.exe from the notification queue. (That app can interefere with TouchFlo Detacher's operation.)
- Shortcuts to start/show Manila, hide Manila, and close Manila. These can be assigned to hardware buttons (if your device has them) or virtual hardware buttons through the use of 3rd party applications such as AE Button Plus.
- Configuration application can customize the softkeys in both Today and TouchFlo's Home tab. You can use it to not only assign TouchFlo Detacher operations (show/hide/close), but any other application on your device.

I want only to say many thanks for that cab it works very good on my Touch HD ... Great App cardefbel

THE best piece of software I've downloaded. Used it on both Touch Diamond and Touch HD and love it!
Perfect - thanks

Thanks for this awesome app....

Would I be correct in thinking that with your app I can go all out on WAD2 or something and still be able to switch back and forth between WAD2 and Touchflo without all the hassle?

Thanks. Downloaded, installed, and be able to switch between TF3D and my old style today with Spb Diary.

Thanks cardefbel !!!
i can tell that this is the best suggestion i have never got in this forum.
you have got the point at the first shot!!!!!! and i have my second today with a brilliant background.
of course thanks to chaosdefinesorder that playing with the device have found out the problem.
for those are asking about my second today:
Resco today plugin
Resco explorer 2008
that's it.
ciao!

Looks great!
I have tried WAD2 and Spb Mobile Shell and I like many of the things that those things bring that TF3D doesn't. I like them both, but I have not been able to break away from the TF3D which is one of the major factors I purchased the phone. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. We'll give it a shot! Thanks.
Update - I loaded it and it seems to work great. I loaded back my Spb Mobile Shell and seems to be working nicely between. It did take a few tweaks, but it is running fine. One thing however is that when I am back in TF3D my hard home key doesn't work to bring me back to the TF3D home. Any ideas?

Thanks for the program cardefbel but I am having a problem with it....notice that if I'm using the SPB screen it won't go back to TF3D after 15mins.....if I want my TF3D i need to reboot it.....but if I on the TF3D I can swap to SPB anytime.....

absolutely excellent, having my appointments on the screen with a 1 button press to TF3D is awesome

Are you using SPB mobile shell or SPB pocket plus. I tried to reproduce it with SPB mobile shell, but the switching to TF3D worked for me after 15 mins.
BTW, it's not a program I wrote, found it on the net and realy liked it.

I have a problem with WEATHER page
I have started the program
il works perfectly BUT
if i go in the weather page, under TF3D, he changes automatically to today.
Any idea ????

Same issue here .. If anyone has a key..
I prefer to have this button for TF3D Home instead of going back to Today

Application Launcher

Hello @all.
After looking around many posts and installing some promising tools, i´m still looking for a nice and free application launcher.
It could to be very simple. Just starting as a programm (because i want to link it to xperia2 panel app launcher) and were i can setup app-groups and within them the app-links to start the programs.
FingerPoint and claunch are looking great, but unfortunately do not work proper on X1
of course, a configurable panel would be more than cool

What you need is SPB Pocket Plus. It is the best thing to do what you want, believe me. I have tried about 10 launchers. Alternatives are UltimateLaunch, which comes with nice effects but it is way too slow. Speed is the most important thing for me because I can't wait 2 seconds for a submenu to open. Another alternative is SBSH iLauncher. It is about the same as SPB Pocket Plus BUT it has less additional features, included battery meter is crappy, configuration is more difficult and I have not been able to find a serial, so if you do not wish to purchase it you have to search for a cracked version. For SPB Pocket Plus you can get a serial and always download latest updates from www.spbsoftwarehouse.com
I recommend using an additional launcher without Submenus to quickly access the apps you use most. For this purpose I recommend Elecont Launcher with all of the animations and stuff disabled. It is not perfectly fast but better than all alternatives I've seen regarding design.

Thanks for the tip! I was looking for an application launcher without all these unnecessary information about batteray, storage card, wifi and so on. I don't need 3-4 programs with all these information
Elecont Launcher provides fast and easy way to start your favourite applications, URLs, documents or control panel items directly from Home/Today screen.
Spb Pocket Plus is a good program but there are only ugly skins and a lot of unnecessary apps.

@Doc_Debil : What Panel are you using on the Top ? With Telephone Wifi Bluetooth ON/OFF ?
Looking for such a Plugin.
Thx for Info,

It's the Resco Contact Manager 1.11.

Doc_Debil... I been searching for that same wallpaper you have... any chance you can please email it to me? I would be ever so appreciative.

You've got a mail

One more "Hello" @ all,
thx for the tips.
Meanwhile i´ve found "Mort Buttons" and it does exactly what i was looking for... and it´s free !!!
There are some button-skins to download and you can setup your own icons for each menu or application-link. In addition there are some menu-animations to choose and they are fast and smooth enough (for me).
Have a look at it at

[REQ] Tasks on Sense 2.1/2.5 home tab?

I know custom tabs for Manila has been discussed many times before, including one for tasks. But my question is different - is there a way to add tasks on home tab? Like replacing the call history or calendar entries. That's the only thing I've always missed in Manila - seeing if I have any active/due tasks right after I unlock my screen.

None interested?!

I'm definitely interested! I have no idea how to do it but I would love to see it. I've thought about this many times.

Well, obviously it makes only two of us. It seems is either unwanted and/or impossible..

+1 pls.
Sorry I have no clue how to do this

Yup, +1 here, makes 4.......

I don't know of a possibility to add tasks, but you can use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602221
You can place a today plugin, like TodayAgenda or some other Tasks app. to cover up for example the calendar part on the home screen. Or you can add it to the Operator tab.

This is actually pretty straight forward if you follow the steps correctly. This is the way I did it to put messaging on the home screen.
Install the 2D TodayPage cab
Stop TouchFlo (Start > Setting > Home > Items and unselect TouchFlo)
Soft reset (may not be necessary but better in my mind)
Run M2Dtp config from programs page
Press and hold the red area next to plugins lable
Select Tasks (or whichever you want)
Leave Window at Window_00
Set x=10 y=240 w=220 h=60
Choose M2D widget page (Home)
press apply
press menu
press OK
Start TouchFlo (Start > Setting > Home > Items and select TouchFlo)
Switch to another tab then back to home and it should be there.
NOTE: You may need to experiment with the X (Left) ,Y (Top),W (Width), and H (Height) but they should place your plugin right after the calendar

How about Sense2.5.1922

Yeah.. well, I am more interested in latest Manila 3D - Sense 2.1/2.5. Apologies for not specifying that. Adding it to the title.

I change the right soft-key of the Home tab in my Sense 2.1 to "Tasks"..
So, if I want to see my tasks, I just tap the right soft-key..

I would also really like to get Outlook Tasks incorporated into Sense!
As part of the 'home tab', the 'calendar tab' or as a separate 'tasks tab'; either, some or all are fine with me ;-)
It surprises me that Microsoft has downplayed Outlook Tasks in WinMo. In Outlook it is easily accessible and a really useful tool for 'appointments or To-Do's that are not strictly time-specific'. That at least is how I use tasks.
Therefore it is really annoying that you have to open a separate app (either MS' own or something like pTasks) to access them in WinMo.
To have Outlook Tasks show up in the calendar I have to use a full-blown program like Pocket Informant.
It's also strange to me that HTC has overlooked the incorporation of Outlook Tasks in their otherwise excellent Sense-UI!
I'm even surprised that the great programmers frequenting this fine forum seemingly does not think that Outlook Tasks is worth incorporating into Sense.
Apart from the ease of access that comes with incorporation into Sense it would also enhance the general 'user experience' to be able to access Outlook Tasks in the same UI that lets you access the other Outlook-functions like mail and calendar!
Hopefully someone will recognize this 'oversight' and remedy the situation soon ;o)

Does anybody know how to make Tasks beeing displayed on home tab? (the way appointments and other calendar entries are)
Shortcut to Tasks is not the way out - it would be perfect to have 'to do list' always on, under the clock

Hello!
It seems what you are using lua scripting in your mod? Can you create mod with tasks instead of appointments?
I'm not the only one who dreaming about such mod . There are many people using tasks without any appointments...

Argg, I really need tasks on home page.
I'm about to remove Sense from my device and go back to WM today screen just because I can see tasks...

I agree to the best solution I found is installing pTask and make shortcut on the homescreen.
