Chome Weather

This is an app that will add and update, in real time, a new panel on your sliding panels theme called "Weather".
It will install two shortcuts in your Start Menu. A "Weather Update" shortcut, which you can use to update manually, as well as a "Weather Options" shortcut.
Steps to take to make this work:
1) Install one of the cabs below. Pick the "Slim" version if you want thinner panels, like in the screenshots. Pick the Slim Background option to also get a background in the panel according to the current weather condition.
2) It should ask to reboot ! (turn phone off and on.. etc). If it doesn't... reboot manually!
3) Go to your Start Menu and find "Weather Options". Set your Zip / Location Code to your zip code if you're in the US or a "location code" if you're anywhere else. More info on finding your specific code is here http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#req . Set the "Fahrenheit / Celsius" option to either "F" or "C" (without the quotes!). Specify how often you would like to autoupdate the weather information in minutes in option 3. Specify whether you would like the application to attempt to connect your default GPRS connection first, before updating. Finally you can turnoff the autoupdate feature with the last option (7).
4) Now it might be a good idea to go to Start and find "Update Weather" and run it.
5) The cab should set your homescreen to "Sliding Panel Top Bar + Weather!" automatically. If it doesn't, you need to do it manually to see the weather plugin. If you top icons disappear then you might have to use the regular "Sliding Panel + Weather!" theme.
If you want your system font to look like the one in the thumbnails (calibri), download the .cab attached, install and reboot.
Please use the attached "unlock.cab" to unlock your device if you're getting permission errors trying to install my weather cabs. Thanks.
For now, I just released the SLIM version. Haven't had the time to create the cpr file for the regular version yet, but you'll have it tomorrow.
Pick one of the cabs below to install different icons, as seen in the pictures. Install the icon cabs, AFTER you install the main weather cab.
For people that still don't know how to manually update: you go to your start meny and find "Weather Update" and run it. Clicking the middle button on the keyboard, while having the weather slide activated will NOT do anything!
This will most likely enable ALL the panels installed on your phone, so use this utility to get rid of the ones you don't want displayed.

Never mind I found out the problem I need to put Y for connection first.

Hell Yeah
Looks good, can't wait to put it on my phone with the regualar (fat) interface. Thanks for spending your time working into the wee hours of the morning to get this up and running.

this project is interesting and I am following it since begin but why I have toshow on my home the actual weather and actual temeperature? I guess is better to put 3 small weather icons in the slide showing the weather in the next days... no? Or first icon for the actual day forecast and then the following days...

this may sound like a silly question but will this take away any of my current panels????
not to sound like a unappreciating ass, (your doing amazing work), but i agree with Iannik next thing you work on should be a forcast type thing, like a fizz weather type thing with 5 days or something like that.

ok, so this is a very noob question, but i have to be running 6.1 to use this homescreen, correct? i installed it before on my 6.0 dash, and it did nothing...

OrganicM,
Do you still have the latest (working) version using CWelcomeCenter? While working on my new CHome Configurator utility, I might figure out a way to update the plugin without reloading the whole homescreen. If it does work, you will be able to add forecast data into multiple panel and have the manual update process directly from the panel.

Yeah, I think this .cab only works with sliding panels (which are only available in WM6.1). I may be wrong.

LCD Font
Org, do you plan on releasing ver. 1.8 with an LCD system font?

Yes. All that is coming today. I didnd't have time to do all the regular versions last night, so I decided to at least release the slim version for you guys to try. I will get the "Fat" version out today with LCD and not, as well as a SLIM LCD version! Maybe even the IPhone layout if I'm happy with it.... hehe
p.s. I'm also working on a standalone CWelcomeCenter version based on the latest 1.8 code (which I've cleaned up a lot). We will also have forecast data with the current testui version, plus a welcomecenter panel underneath with forecast for a few days!

The iPhone version looks...awesome. I like how the center weather icon overlaps the panel--just a tad. Other people might find that a bug, but I actually like it.

LCD Front
This time use Kavana's Clock with the Staple Center scoreboard look, LA Lakers clock..............!

How!? How do you just keep killin' it O!? Great work dude!

i will offer a few options fo the lcd font

HTC Grid start menu without full touch-flo?

Hi,
I have turned off touch flo (various reasons, mostly because im quicker with the default windows mobile interface for mail / sms thank with the touch flow 'pretty' one).
The one thing i LOVED about the new touch-flo though was the HTC start menu, with a grid of apps and a nice interface to add/remove them. Its much nicer than the default WM one.
My question is
1. Does anyone know how to turn on the HTC start menu without turning on the rest of touch flo3d?
2. Are there any 3rd party apps (preferably free) that have the same functionality (grid of available apps) which can replace the built in one?
ps. Loving the touch pro 2 to bits - by far the best phone ive ever had...

Great theme and I have it, too, but if you never tried it note that you loose the carousel with this theme - just for the record. And some of the widgets have French titles.

I used google toolbar translate. You have to register with the website and then you can download.
As for the fact that it removes the carosel, it's well worth it.
I recommend it warmly.

Oddly enough it looks similar to the new Leo build for wm6.5 manila 2.6

Hi, I'm using this theme for the first time and I'm having problems with opening sms messages. I get signs for recieving the texts but when I go into the messages page I can't open them at all.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to recify this,
O

I really want to use this theme but still not work after installing everything..

How to remove some pages/screens, Dont need all 7?
I have a question regarding the number of screens, Can i change it? I dont need that menu menues, and over half of them are left empty. Can I remove the empty ones?
I also miss favorite contacts buttun/window, How can i get that?
Thaks alot for any tips!

Favourite contacts buttos is still present: Add Widget -> Diver Sence -> ContactsFav.
And AFAIK there is no possibility to change number of screens...

i dont get any word at this site.
Could anyone upload it to rapidshare and post here link?
btw there is english support for this?

My PC died
Hey everyone,
My PC died and I wanna download this via mobile...
But Mobilecustom doesnt work right with mobile downloads...
I asked the maker and he said that i could see if someone else could upload it to their 4Shared or megaupload or something and grab it from them, it would be okay.
It is not okay to post a download, but someone could email me link...so the mass public wouldnt get it...
please PM me if u can help!

For those having problems installing it, make sure that:
1) You are using SPB Mobile Shell 3.x.x
2) You have installed the Message2Reg.cab so that you can use the SMS widget
3) All else fails, reinstall SPB MS3
Personally, I think this theme is fantastic, although I would like to somehow link every page back to the home page with a button somehow...since you sometimes have to swipe three or four times before you get back to the home page.
Other complaints are:
1) No carousel...i miss the eye-candy =P
2) Some widgets are in french, although that's easy to live with and also makes you seem more sophisticated to your friends
3) You cannot change the Professional page...it is now a redundant page that only shows the time and battery meter - I would prefer to have my agenda or calendar there
4) You cannot use the widgets unless you use the full theme...unless there is some "widget capture" program that I have missed
Otherwise, it's a fantastic theme! Definitely worth it and it is good for novelty if nothing else. Somebody actually asked me if I thought that the Android OS was good!...until I told him it was WinMo and he was like " no way!"

Any idea of how to change the launcher button to fav-contacts?
How do i change the "launcher" button to a contacts button? Saw a screenshot in this forum on page 17 that someone had done it.
Dont se the point of having a big button for luncher menu on every screen?

I cant seem to make it fullscreen.. i would like to have the ugly top bar gone?? is this possible?

I could definitely do with a list of widgets, and images to go with them. There's about 20 clocks, and dozens of message widgets. It's really hard to customise it not knowing what's what.
[hint hint, if anyone wants to do this they would be being very useful]

pretty nice theme thnks

Sence Revolution
Great theme running on my Raphael alongside Blue Eye TF3D theme. Just need to change background of Sence: I know how to delete background file etc, but do not understand 16bit bmp. files?? Photoshop offers me a choice of 8bit or 32 bit. Can anyone help me choose the correct res ?

Any other UI's except TF3D??

Please name any other UI's (or full today screen plugins like TF3D)!!
which work on Touch HD!!

There are plenty:
1. IPhone Today (Ver. 1.2.5) - can be found in "Developement and Hacking" in the general section. There is a cab for wvga resolution. Works great, highly customizable and very fast (at least as fast as the IPhone swipe speed). Works great with icons by Reflect. I highly recommend. BTW - follow the manual to install (not only cab installation)..
2. SPB Mobile Shell 3.0.1 - Great UI. I also use an additional package called "Sense le Revolution v.2" which simulates the Sense UI of the HTC Hero (search the threads to find link to this). There is also Android UI's and IPhone.. Those can be found on www.mobilecustom.fr/forum though you need to know french (or use Google translate.. )
3. Throttle Launcher - free UI, customizable. I left TL since it did not work very well after an upgrade to a higher version.
4. WAD2 (WisBar Advance Desktop 2) - very customizable and there are many ready UI designed by people (search the threads). I left WAD2 since it is very heavy and does not respond well..
4. Point UI - I tried it for five minutes and left it.. Did not like it at all..
I have three UI's running on my Touch HD - IPhone Today on my today screen, SPB MS3 with Sense v.2 (there is a button to show Today screen - this is how to change to IPhone UI) and I changed Softkey number 1 (with SKTools) to get TF3D to start (by starting Manila.exe)..
Eat this IPhone.. This phone just keeps going, no matter what you throw at it..
Good luck..

[DEV][GAME/PANEL] Bubble Advanced Beta (Update1)

UPDATE 1:
- i guess i did find the "move to right" bug where bubbles did not move correctly in some cases. so it should work fine now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
i plan to develop a flashlite puzzle-game panel for the X2 ;-)
but before starting a "bigger" project i did a "redesign" of bubble breaker to test handling and some issues with flash lite and (of course) compatiblity with my x1:
Bubble Advanced (Beta):
gameplay:
its the same as in bubble breaker. the basic strategy is to "cluster" one dominant color to get as many points as possible.
differences to bubble breaker:
- empty collumns will not "close" automatically.
- if you doubleclick on a single bubble you get special moves (move all bubbles to left or right).
- coming soon: more specials and difficultys
you are free to test it and report all issues
so lets go:
PC-VERSION (BubbleBeta.zip):
-------------------------------------------
Info:
this is the PC reference-version to compare speed and behavior.
of course this runs very smooth
Online Demo:
BubbleBeta
or:
Installation (PC):
download and extract BubbleBeta.zip
doubleclick the BubbleBeta.swf (or drag and drop into a browser if you have no flash standalone player installed)
THIS IS ONLY FOR BETATESTING. PLEASE DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE THIS SWF
Known Issues:
none (so far)
X1-GAME-VERSION (BubbleBeta_0.8.0_English (Game).cab):
-------------------------------------------
Info:
this is the "non-panel" version. it runs with the flash-lite standalone player.
the flash-lite standalone player is not the same as the Sony Ericsson ActiveX Deployment Flash Plug-in. you need to install it additionally.
Installation:
- download and install Flash Lite 3.1 Standalone Player on your X1.
- install BubbleBeta_0.8.0_English (Game).cab
you will find the game in you games folder
Known Issues:
- slow but playable
- "tap&hold" is a pain in the a**. but there is no way to disable the context menu in the standalone player.
X1-PANEL-VERSION (BubbleBeta_0.8.0_English (Panel).cab):
-------------------------------------------
Info:
this is the "panel" version. it runs with the se-flashlite-deployment plugin (also used by various other flash-panels).
Installation:
- download and install Sony Ericsson ActiveX Deployment Flash Plug-in on your X1 (if you havent already installed it).
- install BubbleBeta_0.8.0_English (Panel).cab
- add the panel to your panel-manager
Known Issues:
- slow but playable
- (r3a rom and "old" panel manager): fast doubleclick on the same bubble is somehow blocked. you have to wait like 1 second to click the same bubble again. tip: you can still fastclick another marked bubble (next to the first clicked) to avoid this. it seems to me this is a problem of the panel manager.
- (r3a rom and "old" panel manager): after activating the bubble-panel the "old" panel manager quits if you press the panel-button again (maybe this will work with the new panel manager).
BETA RESTRICTIONS:
--------------------------
- highscore will not be saved
- screen rotation (landscape mode) is not supported
- no sound
QESTIONS:
-------------
can someone please test it with the r3a rom and the "new" (inofficial) R3A panel manager ?
thanx and have fun,
- QuadWord

Update1:
- i guess i did find the "move to right" bug where bubbles did not move correctly in some cases. so it should work fine now.
- did some _minor_ speed improvements
.cabs in the first post are updated.
- QuadWord

panel doesn't work with new panel manager. tried softreset, still nothing, maybe because i run a stock rom
and for the game itself... well, its slow and the context menu is annoying but the graphics look really good and the extra features are making the game more interesting.

austrianX1user:
thanx fou your feedback!
sadly there is no way to disable the context menu :-(
i will however look into the panel issue.
just one question: normally you can double-click on bubbles to remove them. in the "old" panelmanager you have to wait like 1 second anfter the first click before clicking the second time. did you have the same issue with the "new" r33 panelmanager?
- QuadWord

Im using a custom rom which i believe also uses the new panel manager (Touch-IT 7.2) and the panel doesn't appear

to enable x2 - flash panels on the x1 you need:
- the activeX Deployment
- the .cab below
BUT: it turns out there is no "stable" way to run x2 panels on a X1. i can only provide the "best possible" way. if the panel is more complex it will bring down the panel-manager sooner or later.

Please help a colour blind man
HI
I love bubble bobble, and this is a fun new version. I'm looking for new stuff for my pre-ordered HTC HD2.
Please could you consider allowing a change to the colour set? I am, like a fair proportion of men, slightly colour blind in the red/green area. What that means is that there are two sets of balls that both look green, and two sets of balls that look purple. This makes the game unplayable for me.
The version of bb that I currently play has a black and white option which changes the colours to different patterns of clear, lines and hatches. That's OK, but it would be SO much cooler if I could pick my colours from a palette.
Jim
