Hi folks,
I'm looking for an programm launcher like the programs tab in TF3D, but I'd like to have multiple pages, as the 24 places in the tab are way to few.
Else I want to assign it to an hardware key, so I need an application, that is not integrated in TF3D.
Does anyone know a good app for this purpose ?
I guess someone already made something like that, but google and the forum search didn't bring it up.
Sounds like a job for Wisbar Advanced Desktop, I have 8 tabs on the main screen, 20 more fading in with one finger gesture, or configure a mainscreen tab to directly open a launcher page with 20 tabs per page, where tabs can also be a Inbox, URL or shortcut to opening a program with a given file. Then switch between unlimited launcher pages with one finger gesture per page.
^^ can you please tell me what part of wishbar advance i have to activate to make my screen look like that??
Look at MortScript and Mort Buttons You can add the buttons to start menu, Today screen or to the TF3D Programs page. each button has a full page or even multi-pages you can add apps, commands or scripts to. Really handy!

Its not Wisbar Advance (Task), but Wisbar Advance Desktop
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
Then you need to install Sergej's free Blackberry Theme to the themes folder of WAD, and activate it as your default portrait mode theme.

that looks really nice ... but how does is look in landscape mode? does it support landscape? if yes, i'll give it a try
Dont use landscape, but the program differentiates between those two modes, so you could just re-arrange the dock and tabs to fit your landscape preferences. For me the key feature was to be able to show unlimited appointments on my main screen.
already tried yota center?
Me I use UltimateLaunch that I looove with Yota

hi Lucas,
the first image you attached is your today screen? we can set wisbar advanced dekstop as our today screen?
Yes indeed, but as a today screen where you have full control of what to put on it!

how to set the WAD as today screen? by disable the TF3D only?
last time i did try WAD, but, i didn't set it as today screen, i need to launch it as other program to get WAD work.
so, everytime you soft reset or wake up your HD, you will see WAD in your today screen?
Just disabled TF3D, started WAD installation, and WAD came up as today screen automatically. Yes, WAD is full today screen, but you can choose if you want to keep the Start and taskbar on the top of the screen, or have it disappear. Most standard Today plugins work from inside the WAD today screen, too.

thanks a lot Lucas, i will try.
Thanks for the ideas.
I'm already using Yota Center and its a nice program.
The only thing is that I'd like to have more pages, cause 24 places is too few.
I'll try Mort Buttons, looks interesting though.
have you tried launchmanager ? it's not free though ...

Thanks just one more question. When launching the Music player or Photo Viewer etc, are they the normal HTC ones or are they customized now?
Are they still easy to use?
Also does all your programs work normally? And if you don't like the WAD, you can easily delete it?

No, they will not be the HTC apps embedded in TF3D. You will set up each icon to open up your own apps. I haven't heard of anyone being able to use the HTC player or album yet as stand alone apps.
Yes they are very easy to use!
WAD will not affect the way your programs run. It is simply a launcher program (one of the best that I've seen yet).
Yes, you can easily uninstall WAD by going to remove programs and uninstalling it from there...although I have a feeling you won't want to after you get the feel for what it can do to your today screen!
Thanks that was a great explanation
just one more question for example do you mean it won't have a built mp3 player or something like that but you have to download a 3rd party one and assign it?
EDIT: I just bought it and installed the Blueberry theme but doesn't show up properly, i wonder why. I'm missing the clock, the calender and whenever i press the box on the right side, a empty grey box opens.. weird.
EDIT: Fixed it up by selecting Wishbar Desktop rather than HD BlueBerry, weird. some parts are still German even after applying eng buttons.

You can set it up to use Windows Media player if you want to, otherwise a third party app is what you will need. CorePlayer or PocketPlayer are a couple to check out.
I haven't installed the Blackberry theme for WAD yet but I do no if you don't have the icons installed in the correct places the theme will not show properly. I ran into this same problem when installing Mallmans Vista theme. As soon as I went back and followed his instructions perfectly, the theme was correctly displayed.
I'm not familiar with setting up different languages so I'm afraid I won't be of any help to you there. You may check out the Lakeridge WAD forum for that.
Here is how I have my WAD looking right now, a tweaked version of Mallmans Vista theme!
i changed my font size when i was texting someone and i don't know how i did it. it is now too small, and i want it a lil bigger. does anyone know how i can change the size in my text msgs?
also, i just got this phone. is htc going to send all pro2 users the update when oct comes around with the new system? or we **** out of luck?
thanks
1. Use the zoombar to change font size.
2. Yes, HTC will release WinMo 6.5 for TP2 users.

I assume you are talking about the default WinMo Messaging app? The zoombar works as a font-size changer in that app.
Why are you looking in menus for zoombar? The zoombar is the part of your device between the screen and the 4 hardware buttons.
Wow didn't know that.
Just to confirm it does work as a font size changer, but only when focus is on the text editing area at the bottom.
If focus is still in the previous threaded messages then the zoom bar works as a scroll bar.

i wasn't. you told me to look for zoombar. and i figure zooming had to be in the menu bar since thats how it is in alot of applications i use.
on a diff not, i tried to send a text msg like normal and hit the the 4 hardware buttons and it still does not change my font size. the reading pane window where old text msgs are is the area where i want to change the size.

Haha, dude, I think you're losing me.
What's your "normal" way to send a text message? There are several ways: (1) via compose new, (2) via TF3D, (3) via the threaded view of the WinMo Messaging app.
Why are you hitting the 4 hardware buttons to change font size? (Call send, Call end, Windows key, and Back key are not going to help)
What's this "reading pane window" you are referring to?
What I'm trying to say is a picture is worth a thousand words. Going forward, if you want help with troubleshooting, post a screenshot.
But for your case, try this. Go to "Settings" tab in TF3D, tap "All Settings", go to "System" tab, tap "Screen", go to "Text Size" tab, and adjust the setting here.

When a field is "in focus", that just means that it's active or that's where the cursor is. In fairness to HTC, I thought there manual was quite comprehensive. They've put just enough info to get someone who's not familiar with WinMo to be able to use the device.

Well, I don't think they're going to SEND it to you. I'm sure it will be available on you're carrier's site, presuming the carrier releases there version in October.
Hi!
I´ve been using Thumbcal for about a year now. I had a Touch Cruise where it ran without any probs in Winmo 6.5. (used last version of Thumbcal)
Now I´ve bought a HD mini and I got problems...
I discovered that, when I have an appointment I CAN`T open the app from homescreen... All other shortcuts to the app works! BUT if I delete/move all my appointments of the day so it´s no appointment on the homescreen, then it´s possible to open up the app!
(I have disabled the default calender tab.)
What´s wrong, someone else recognize this? Thanks in advance!
Ps: I also put the question here...
There's no problem with ThumbCal. It's a great app.
The problem lies with the Sense UI. The homescreen calendar link is built to work only with the calendar tab. As we all know, the calendar tab is a crippled, super-slow, useless app.
You'll have to use other ways to bring up ThumbCal. Homescreen calendar link won't work.
Options:
1. Pin ThumbCal to quick links.
2. Use Bsb Tweak to pin ThumbCal to left soft key of Sense homescreen. (Replacing the "Phone" app)
3. Position ThumbCal on the upper rows of Start Menu icons. That way, it will be easy to access the app anytime from anywhere. Without the need to swipe up.
Hello !
have you notice that in thumcal when you scroll to next month it is very smooth but if you scroll to the previews month it is pretty slow ? or is it just me ?

Yes. It is slower when you scroll to previous month. But still good enough. Nothing serious.
Skin
Here is a skin that will give a sence look to thumcal, I did not make it, but just modify it a little bit so it will fit with hvga resolution.
Here is the link to the creator of the skin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646072
And I also attach the zip file that you need to copy in the thumcal directory.

Nice work. This looks good. Although i think the bars (days) are a bit too light. Making them indistinguishable from the schedules under it.

Hi,
can you explain to me, how to replace HTC calendar?
ahead many thx
Kuckuck
replace HTC calendar with Thumbcal
Sure, very easy: open Thumbcal app -- push left-bottom button -- Settings -- check "Set as default calendar" and "Set as default tasks app" -- Ok -- Exit.
Restart your Mini and... that's it! When you push calendar tab on home screen, Thumbcal will be the opening application
Does this app also integrate with SPB Mobile Shell? I read some things about it, but it was on a Spanish website, anybody know something about this?

It's mostly likely the fault of Sense UI. Mini's Sense is inconsistent and buggy.
Here's how the weird behavior of Sense work:
1. If you have no regular appointments for the day, the calendar app on homescreen will be empty (showing only the word "Calendar"). In this situation, the link works. Touch the "Calendar", and it will bring you to ThumbCal or stock calendar. Whichever is set as default.
2. If you have regular appointments for the day, the homescreen calendar is not empty (showing a single upcoming appointment). In this situation, the link won't work. Nothing happens when you touch it. (This is probably where you're at. Giving you the wrong impression that ThumbCal won't work.)
3. If you have whole-day appointments. The homescreen calendar behaves as if there's no appointment for the day.
Weird. But that's Sense UI.
Try a homescreen link to ThumbCal, or change one of the homescreen softkeys instead. The Sense homescreen calendar is unreliable and useless.
No magic trick, I did only what I have been explained in my previous post. My HD Mini is opening the Thumbcal from homescreen when I touch "Calendar"...
Is working super fine with new skin Barreto SenseHVGA

It won't work. You can open ThumbCal with the homescreen calendar only when it's empty. Trust me. I've been there. I've spent weeks trying to figure this out.

Hi,
Was wondering is the standard froyo contacts doesn't list all the alphabetical letters on the right hand side? From all the froyo release so far I see the right side list missing letters : B, E,H, K, N, Q,T,W
Can we someone enable these characters again? I can live without these characters but it's just annoying...
Having the same issue here too...
And pressing the back softkey after playing a song in Music Player also causes some letters to disappear.
same issue in my sgs...strange
Yes, mine too (JPO).
The letters missing: G, H, O P
Wow, I got JPO as well..... hmmm seems the letters appears based on something. I did remember awhile ago, some letters start appearing.
It can't be by contacts, cos I got google contacts that have "b" in it but it still doesn't show the letter.
i flashed from jm1 to jpa. maybe this is the problem?
lost: GHOPX
for me it seems that if a letter has little contacts it doesnt show, and the next letter after it also dissapears..
any1 can confirm?
It's a feature. It's meant to enable users to quickly browse through their contacts. Yes, it sounds rather strange but what they intended was that you don't waste your time trying to get the the correct letter (particularly those with larger fingers) but rather in an approximate area in which you can therefore thumb up or down to the right contact.
In some ways it works, in other ways it can be annoying.
It's because of size of the fonts and the size of the top search box. There is no space for all the letters to be shown. Set lcd density to 200 and you'll see the magic.
For set lcd density to 200 have you used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762070

where i can change this value?
You can use that app or you can change it manually by changing build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density setting to 200. Be careful with this because TW doesn't work with setting below 200. Make backup first an enable debugging so you can revert through the adb. Read all about it first in the forums!!!
yikes lcd density at 200 makes everything looks aweful......is there any other way to get it to show all the alphabet just like in eclair?
thats really strange, didnt notice though.
although it can be shown by changing the lcd density to 200, but all other application becomes not full screen, it is not the perfect solution, someone please kindly make a study on this issue, it seems caused by the inproper layout parameter of contacts resource.
I guess eclair didnt have the edit box for "search" taking up space....now in froyo with the new search box, theres lesser room!
very annoying really though Don't want to change the LCD density as it screws up other apps.

You can fix the other apps with spareparts app from the market. Compatibility mode option should be unchecked.
Tw can be replaced with the adw or launcher pro. The dialer and calculator are not in full screen view only.
Like I said , read all about it in the forums.
I personaly like the lcd tweak very much because of a larger resolution effect. You get more space on the display for icons and widgets and you can see more stuff in apps without scrolling.

Hello guys
the problem with impossibility change stock ICS dialer by another one from third party is driving me crazy... I tried everything including factory reset and complete wipe. Always the bloody stock dialer come up when use any dialer from the market. Even if I swipped launcher and phone icon on home screen. Third party dialer itself works OK, but when dialing I always getting stock ICS dialer!!
Kinldy ask all for help how to disable stock ICS original dialer that I hate!
Thanks indeed
Ciao
Go to settings for the phone.apk and clear defaults.
I did it, but when dialing form eXdialer, always stock comes up..., I rebooted phone after change, but still in troubless...
any clue?
If you mean the actual dialing (call active), you can't change that. Dialler is the app used to find the number, and the call itself is done through the stock dialer.
Swyped on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
I recently found the answer in another thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388274

The OP answered it himself, and did so by updating the #1 post, so it might not have looked like the answer...
The phone icon in the launcher is actually a direct link to the phone app so you just have to replace that with your own chosen dialler app! in 2.x it was a link to the default phone app but in ICS it is different.
Click to expand...

So, just drag the phone icon off the bottom area and drag the alternate dialer you want to use down there.
Thanks guys for help.
To make it short, the main problem with dialer is that no possibility of SPEED DIAL. This has been solved by using shortcuts on second home screen for frequent calls. The key problem is impossibility to see right below the contact also a company. Actually I register roughly 1.400 contacts in the phone and not always sure about which caller belongs to what company once I get ring up. So I see only the name and not sure about company that the guy comes from.
Maybe some solution is already existing, so I would really apreciate it from you
