is pocket plus 4.0 better than have HTC touch?

Hey, i just finished reading about pocket 4.0. i seems to be like the touch home, and seems to add a bit of Iphone functional;ity.
Peep the Video!
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en
just curious, maybe i didn't set up my phone right, With touch, is my phone already supposed to be like this?

This is what Touch is

Pocket Pus 4
Wow great find! I actually like it! Not for the today plugin, but for the other features. My Wing feels more responsive. The new fingure scrolling/or panning is awsome, and the new task manager does an awsome job too! PIE tabbing too!
I was using the TouchFlo Alpha4 cab but i rather have Pocket plus 4 install just cause of the goodies.
Update..
Can anyone confirm if after installing Pocket Plus 4, your app launch faster?

ok. ok.ok
I have touchit lite and after seeing that video I am missing something. and again to have that we scroll around option looks preety damn cool

Use it with Touch it

Use it with Touch it
I use Pocket plus with the new touch it 2.0 rom on my wing, and it's great. I just disable the today screen feature because I prefer the way the HTC 6 tab today screen works/looks. You can still use the enhanced pocket IE (Scroll anywhere, tabs etc.) and their great close button feature without enabling the Pocket plus today screen interface.
Oh and as a reply to Rodney, it doesn't make my Wing any faster, just like the way the new features integrate with the touch it Rom.

that ks Duprade, I now realize my phones capabilities . and Nane921 I will give it a shot along with ur recommendation .
Thanks!

Pocket Plus 4
Agree with you there. Don't like the today plugin but love the other extra features. I havent installed the Touch it rom yet. I'm newbie and i'm so afraid to brick my only phone. I just did the pagepool and loveing my phone now with HTC pligins and SPB's Pocket plus Scrolling and Paning and PIE Tabing. Now if my phone coult make me some Coffee would be great!
Update..
Just realized you can go to the PockecPlus 4 settings and uninstall just the today plugin and keep the rest.

I prefer SPB mobile Shell - a combination of pocketplus and a real great "Now" screen that shows you all important infos before going to today screen.
Like missed,calls, phone, sms a clock, the appointments...etc.

Hey, I never saw that aprticular post you were talking about, But i did run into another.
Thanks all for the info. Since D made me see the light, I know know how to make my cube work. Neat as all hell. A few of the Mac'ers at my job are now making funny faces.
I am not to interested in the whole 4.0 package, even though I could prob find a crack code, I am happy with the way lite works.
I would just like WE to work like it does on pocket 4.0.

TouchFlow x pocket plus
As I found out reading the spb forum, the smart scroll function is not available when installed in devices running TouchFlow ROM. I wanted to try it but it's not even available in the options (even if you select it during instalation). they say that it's not compatible even if you disable the TouchFlow in the device.

TouchFLO 3D Theme Customizer

Now that we're seeing different colors and designs for the TouchFLO 3D Home screen today plug-in on different versions of the Touch Diamond, if anyone is planning on making a theme customizer that we can use to change these at will...
Please make it extensible enough so that other future and existing applications can be added and changed as well.

AFAIK, there are no ROMs for the branded devices available... When those become available, it'll be far easier to allow for skinning.

How about a project to adapt the remaining Windows Mobile "design look" into the Touchflo3D GUI? Of course tweaking performance at the same time to compensate for it as much as possible.

I was wondering whether to do that... These forums seem to be some of the cleanest (device wise) so keep up the moderating
If and when someone gets there hands on an operator branded device (or an operator ROM), I'll try and work out how the customization takes place...

Agreed.
I would love it if there was something extensible like Schap's Advanced Config, where anyone could customize an XML file or something and have the application load Skin/Theme options (like HTC Home Customizer does) for other applications (including TouchFLO 3D).
So like a hybrid between HTC Home Customizer which will load the proper image files/etc. to the proper places based on what you choose... and the Advanced Config program where you can add custom options by editing an XML file.
Doesn't that sound like a great tool for changing theme/skins for all of these applications?

I would LOVE to reorder the TouchFLO 3D Tabs at least!!!

I would love to change the color of my TF3D theme from o2 but keeping my german version!
When I recieve my XDA I can provide you with the included ROM but the delivery date is delayed.

I'm getting a T-Mob compact IV, dumping the ROM (assuming it's not already done by someone else by then) is near the top of my to-do list.
Anyone who's seen T-Mob's version of TF3D will understand my wish help the progress of a theme customiser!!!
2+ more weeks to go... :-(

Does it all mean that maybe one day it will be possible to add some other items to the TF3D??
I am desperately looking for an application like PocketZenPhone to switch the profiles with one touch!!! I didn't start using my diamond yet only because of this!!! I have to change profiles very often (bluetooth on/off, vibrating with sound and without sound, etc...) and it is really impossible everytime to enter menus!!!
Can someone help me.... please!?!

Try AEBPlus - it maps your hard ware buttons, I have just one set to turn on wi-fi, and the same button on double pressing to turn on Bluetooth, turn off the same way....

Thanks a lot... I'm going to try if it helps!
It would be better to have 4 or 5 icons like in PZP with different profiles, but also this can help.
Are you sure it works with WM6.1?? Because it is not in the list of compatible devices.
Thanks again!
Urosh

I tried to install AEBPlus but it was unsuccessful...
???
Do someone know why?
Thnx

TouchFLO 3D & other elements
How can I add other elements to the home screen using TouchFLO 3D? Can it be customized somehow?
I want to add todo list just like when not using TouchFLO 3D where it shows remaining tasks to fulfill??

Hi,
I did get an O2 ignito on Tuesday.
I ordered it on Saturday and PMed two of the better known cooks if they wanted a dump (sorry and no names) but not had a reply. They are obviuosly busy.
I did point out though that I had not dumped before and did not have anywhere to upload it to. I did find some threads to do it and it seemed complex.
I have now put on a rom from this forum and am very happy with it. Will donate.
The o2 rom was 1.92.2xx.

Today Widgets for Kaiser?

Ok so this is actually my first time posting in a long time. i do regularly flash the great roms on this site and use the cabs that are presented here. wonderful work guys.
ok so my question is, is it possible for someone to write some software for some widgets like the ones on the new Samsung I900? I know that it runs off WM 6.1 Pro. But is the today screen widget system a flash program? or built in somehow? it would be so cool to have something like that on the today screen of my 6.0 kaiser. ive seen so many different UIs its hard to name them all. they are all pretty cool in their own ways, but if someone made this as a cab that would be awsome. i know someone will be dumping the I900 rom sometime soon. hopefully!!!!
thanks,
vince

i dont get it, so nobody thinks this is possible? any takers....bueller...bueller...

Two suggestions...
Link to what you're asking about so someone can possibly make comparisons.
Don't be annoying/insulting.

Links to view widgets on OMNIA i900
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i8NfY_HXas

riiight... i wasnt trying to be annoying or insulting. i figured a quick search on youtube wuold have informed anyone about the phone in question. seems simple enough to me.
well. the Omnia I900 is a new phone that is being put out by Samsung. If you watch the video posted above youll see the widgets that i am talking about. they seem to be flash based. sort of like the ones in vista. i wonder about how much memory they take up. the phone has some other cool things as well like the screen rotate transitions. i love the one from this device. hope some programmers here can chime in on this one.

Apart from the dragging and dropping of widget from the sidebar, everything else is able to be reproduced on wm6 using various methods. rlToday and MobileShell are starting points. The i900 is not that great of a phone.

I figured out the Widgets app is called TouchWiz. i was wondering if anyone has been able to make a cab out of this? i would probably use it if it were available. ive tried a lot of shells, launchers, plugins, they are all cool but none seem to be the end all OS-replacement. by that i mean that they cant do everything yet. some will do some things good and others do other things good, but none do everything good! i know its a lot to ask for from just a shell, but if the next iphone (not 3g version) is any good with a 3rd party following thats growing, i might jump on. its gonna take some great plugs and an awsome os update to keep me on the windows mobile wagon.
i really wish they would start to try and move away from teh stylus usage on their future OS versions. like the Omnia. this would make alot of people happier i think.

-Price - Currently over $1,100 in Australia vs. TyTnII free on most caps. Ouch.
- Poor finger menu navigation. Like most WM6 devices, the underlying OS is designed for stylus use, not thumbs. Comes with a stylus but no slot to put it in the phone.
- No physical keyboard, and dodgy software keyboard which cover 3/4 of the screen making it impossible to see what your typing underneath.
- Haptic touch is cool, but the glossy body is really bad (good?) at collecting fingerprint smudges. Carrying a cloth all day is pretty lame too.
- Battery life is ok, except when using GPS or 3G/HSDPA- reports of going from 100% to fully flat in under 40 mins while using satnav & about 3 hrs talk time on 3G. Cant personally verify this because I only played in-store for about half an hour - google around though..
- Can't use it as a bluetooth HSDPA modem for laptop/PC. Even my 5 yr old nokia can do this..
- Annoying automatic screen orientation, way too sensitive when you moving your arm around and the screen starts freaking out and spinning.
- Reports of random shut downs. Cnet reviewer had 2 in 3 days & pressing the Power On button does not help - have to physically remove and re-insert the battery to reset it.
- Useless "widgets" - Stock ROM does not include Calendar, Messaging or mainstream apps. Like the nazi-esque licensing for the iphone app store, you're not allowed to add / develop non-Samsung-approved apps. So for the time being you have a fancy looking but useless desktop. Standard WM6 "today" screen & various plugins is much much more usable.
Bottom line is its fashion over function. Some will love it, but there's too much iPhone mentality going on to even consider it for folks like me (I like to tweak and fiddle with everything to make a system that suits me perfectly - way better phones already out that can do this easier (TyTnII, imho) )
I do like the camera though, and the weird not-quite-VGA 240x400 resolution.

I agree. I am not interested in flashing a new ROM but would rather customize a few features usings cabs and so forth.
There are some widgets that I would like to use myself. This is very similar to the Vista sidebar that I have become familiar with and appreciate now.

Hi,
i found the related widgets, on rapidshare or megauload.it works fine
on a Qvga pda, but on mine (I780) i have resolution problems
Bye
Herc.

yeah i found a thread in the general-hacking and development section where someone has already made a cab for the widgets. after installing you have to reset your device for them to appear in the today plugins selection. the widgets are really cool but not being able to edit the apps they control at the moment kinda sucks. some of them dont do anything because they are supposed to be connected to programs in the Omnia I900

iPhloam Theme (Official Release) for TyTnII / Kaiser

links removed.

it does look good but my personal preferance is not to make my device look like an iphone otherwise id of brought one.good work though.

This Looks Great!

Well done!

very cute, great work snachez

if you're going to use HTCHome plugin, then there is no need for a SMS/messaging icon - its already built into that plugin
how did you set icons on your today screen like that. i really like your theme and those icons seems very functional. i want just that today screen and other skins but not all the extra software
ok ultimate launcher. nvm
sanchez, the more i look at those images, the more i can see myself using that theme. it looks very functional. i like. i will give it a try when it comes out

snachez,
Am so glad you's taking part in talk like a pirate day... Arrr!
Psi

looks good. when is it gonna be available?

I really like this, it still had the Dark Kaiser style, with some Iphone-y sensibilties lol. Definity one to keep tabs on, good work
Edit - 100 posts, baby!

I like the look, it would be nice if you would consider using Throttle Launcher as another base to do a version.
There are several advantages to using TL:
1 - Its highly user configurable (everyone has different apps they want to access).
2 - It has really nice thumb scrolling
3 - It can easily load the HTC Home screen plugin (and others) on any of its Pages.
4 - It will soon have its own customizable readers and calendar.
Which gives it a much stronger all around integrated interface.
Question - does your dialer have the redial problem most custom dialer have?

Thanks for the comments. I haven't played with TL at all so far, but once I'm satisfied with this release and get bored, I'm sure I'll need something else to occupy my time The youtube vids look pretty cool.
As for the dialer, its Paul DeGroots version - I never need redial so I'm not sure, but there are a few known flaws with a dll thats being worked on presently I believe.

It looks great! Please keep us updated with any news.

I really like the looks of it all. If i was going to re-flash my Tilt sounds like it would make sense to do a lite version and then add this it when available. Does that make sense? Is there one that you know of that has some/most/any of this already included?

Yep, UL and some customised iphone-like icons I've gathered from around the web. The links on the HTC Home sms/email counters do take you to the relevant screens, but I also have two other email accounts set up on the device so I find it useful to have access to those at a push of a button from the front screen (and the menu->sync option syncs all the boxes , not just the default one)
You'll be able to easily change it using the UL preferences to suit your tastes.

I'm not much into flashing actual ROMs personally, so I plan on releasing this theme with all the cab packages required (once I've got permission from the various authors of course.) - as well as an online update repository making all the cabs easier to find in one place.
This can be installed over a default factory ROM to make it behave the way I feel a device of this great capability should be accessed.
I'm thinking maybe a sashimi script ? Any ideas ?
Any of the commercial software I use will be substituted with trial versions and require purchase if you want to use it permanently, or swapped easily to the program of your choice.

sounds good. can't wait.

Yes I agree Looks good Like the icons they aren't as cartoony as the iphones go for it !!

preview update (13.09.08)
Updated with a few more screens & swapped from HTC Weather to Rumbals Diamond WeatherPanel (great stuff, support his work!), a new SPB Calc skin I just finished and changed over to Kies Carbon Keyboard skin for the time being. Reload the image in the first post if you'd like to see the changes.

Swype now available as a CAB

It seems that the awesome keyboard app called Swype has been ripped off the Samsung Omnia II and a CAB has been created to install on winmo WVGA devices.
Info on Swype can be found here: http://www.swypeinc.com/
CAB located here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ungnttnzmwa/Swype.cab
I installed it on my Imagio and let's just say that I am NOT going back to the regular keyboard anytime soon!!!!!
Enjoy and let me know if anyone finds any issues. I've only used it for about 10 minutes and haven't found anything thus far.

Looks pretty interesting I will have to give it a try later.

That does look pretty freakin' cool.

Just installed it on my Imagio...
WOW loving it thus far...

Top notch works great!

this is really awesome. very impressed with the accuracy so far.
can we make it so the keys pop up like the oem keyboard?

Thanks so much for sharing, this is awesome!

WM noob here -- installed fine but no change. What do i need to do to enable?

had same problem

Did you do a soft-reset?

enabling
No soft reset required. At the bottom of the screen, there's usually that keyboard icon. Just to the right of it is a small arrow. Using the stylus helps for those of is big fingered folks.
Click that arrow and up will pop a menu. Select "Other Input Methods" and then select Swype.
You won't need to do that again, unless you do a soft-reset of the phone at any time.

Ahhh there it is; thx buddy.
Former BB users have stylus "lapses" from time to time....

No problemo.....
us newbies have to stick together.

Best Keyboard I have ever used!
Awesome working great easy to use

I have the vzw tp2. this thread should be in something else since it works on other devices.
also why won't the keyboard stay on swype when you turn off the phone?

thanks its working perfect

Might just be the best app for WM yet!
I was skeptical . . . but now I am hooked! It takes a bit of getting used to, but it REALLY does make typing on a soft-keyboard easy. I don't need no STINKING slideout keyboard!

You can use SIPChange to make Swype be the default keyboard when you do a power off/power on.

This keyboard is ****ing psychic

i also had the default keyboard problem and used SIPChange...
"Apparently this is a bug with WM 6.5. Use the cab SIPChanger to set swype as the default keyboard, this setting will even survive a soft reset ( thank god )
Make sure to set the startup delay thingy to 40 seconds or the program will crash on startup." (quote from Survivalism over at PPC).
He also posted the SIPChange cab on his thread...
