Awesome On screen keyboard - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Check It out...
http://cootek.com/
It is hot!!!

That is cool, kudos for finding it. It's pretty much the blackberry qwerty phone pad, but virtual.

Nice find. I might give this a try.
Currently I am using the excellent pocketcm keyboard and i can type really fast with that. Can be found here
http://www.pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php

tks 4 sharing.

Now that I have seen the youtube video on this, I like this more than pocketcm. Really excellent product. You must see the youtube video to realise what an innovative product this is. Pocketcm R.I.P

I was amazed after watching the you tube video. Also if you go to the download section it is free until 8th dec 2007!! I've just downloaded going to try it out now.

I grabbed a copy to give it a try, ran the CAB, and when I select "TouchPal" for my input method, it just rolls right back to the standard keyboard. Anyone else have that particular issue? It looks great for one-handed operation, but...
Install went to the device, not the storage card, so please don't suggest that as a fix.

PerfAlbion I just installed to main memory and all is fine. I had to select it and straight away had a intro screen come up. All I can suggest is to uninstall and reinstall. It does work.

wow nice find, thanks!

Try a soft reset. I had to do that before I could use the keyboard myself. Once I soft reset however ... off the the races!!

The install instructions tell you to install, then soft reset as mentioned. I did the power-off reset and it works fine.
Just when you think that these things can be improved any further, Thanks for sharing!

Nice prog. Can't use it, I have fat thumbs.

I should have mentioned I did that too, I suppose.
Actually, I did it twice just to make sure. Must be a conflict with some other app I've got loaded up...

Did you install it on the main memory? it wont work if you install it to your sd card

Yeppers. Installed to main memory. With the RAM/ROM on this puppy, I doubt I'll put much on my SD card but music or maps for the GPS.
Is anyone using it successfully with SPB PhoneSuite/MobileShell/PocketPlus? Those and AgendaOne are the primary apps I suspect would be conflicting.

this is keyboard is awesome, the only thing i wnat is the space bar to be in the middle (like the video) is everyones space bar to the left or is it in the middle...

You can just drag and drop it into the middle !

It doesn't show up
Hi.
I have installed it to the device - soft reset - and it doesn't show up! I can see it in remove programs and if I search for 'touchpal' I find in Program Files/TouchPal/touchpal.dll as well as the help file and some dictionary files.
But I cannot find the executable to run it.
Any help?
Thanks.

Never Mind. Sorry for the noise.
It was working.... I wasn't

Sounds like you figured it out but for others that may read this, in order to activate Touchflo you have to choose it from the keyboard input pop up that comes up when you tap the keyboard icon on the screen. Took me awhile to figure this out as well

PointUI to replace Today Screen

When using PointUI, the app minimized and you are returned to the Today screen when hitting the End Button/Red Button. Is there anyway to disable this from happening? Meaning, is there a way to never be able to go back to the Today screen? Unless of course you go to "Close Home".
Thanks in advance.

I myself have been trying to find a way to completely replace the Today screen with PointUI, but without any success. So I ended up throwing together this little piece of software.
It is called GetPointUI and is basically a Today plugin, which acts similar to the SPBWatcher plugin. If PointUI is not running, it will start it, and if PointUI is running, it will activate it as soon as the Today screen becomes visible. To deactivate GetPointUI, simply uncheck the plugin in the Today settings.
Now, mind you, I have only tested this application on my XV6800 (and it is working perfectly) with PointUI installed in the default location. I do not have S2U and/or any other launchers/Today replacements installed, so GetPointUI might interact with those in an undesired way. If you should have PointUI installed in a non-default location, GetPointUI SHOULD be able to detect that and find the correct path, but this has not been tested. The same goes for new versions of PointUI that might be released in the future. GetPointUI SHOULD always bring up the latest version, but again, that is pure theory. I am curious myself...
Installation: Just install the attached CAB and soft-reset your device.
NOTE: I will NOT be responsible for any damage on your device or any data loss you may incur. You are using this software at your OWN risk.
Unfortunately, that CAB file you posted won't install. No error, just "Unsuccessful"
here this may have fixed it
Perfect. Thanks guys. Since the time of posting (January), pointui has created a feature where you can choose to replace the Task Bar/Start Bar with the pointui task bar. Touching this "pointui task bar" takes you back to the home screen and at another location on the bar it gives you the "Running Applications"
Thanks again guys. Much appreciated.

I have an HTC S640 with Windows Mobile 6, I get the same error...will not install. Without this app, PointUI although very slick, without it beeing able to work like this its just eye candy....
If anyone has this working, please POST!!!!!
i know this is off the topic, but does anyone know if POINTUI is still in production for a new release?
it is true there are bugs in pointui, but free is free.. for the most part, POINTUI is a excellent all in one interface, simple, basic and fast...

Uninstalled SPB, taks menu is now gone...

Hi everybody.
Hopefully you all can help me out. I recently installed SPB pocket plus thinking I needed that for their Insight, but I now understand I don't. I went ahead and un-installed the pocket plus before i installed insight, and now the task option in the top right corner is gone on my Today screen. So I can't close programs individually or see whats running. Any ideas? Really don't want to restore a backup as I haven't done one since January. Thanks for any help! -Jeff

May have a solution for you but it may not be what you are looking for.
Here is quickmenu. Quickmenu basically sets your device similar to a PC's start menu. Once you install this cab you will find it under start>programs. After you click on the application you will notice a new start menu.
Possible solution: Start>click on quickmenu>option>X-button of screen:Long-press to close, short to minimize.
After you have this set up correcting, simply click start to view your open programs. Fairly simple I have been using this application since I received my Tilt and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Hope you enjoy it.
I installed a barebones ROM and found I really liked that task manager in the top right corner....
Do a search on this site for Task_Manager_2_0_30487_2.CAB, it is exactly what you are looking for AND has a couple of other features too.
The difference between this and Quickmenu is that this one doesn't have all the other stuff (although I use quickmenu)....
Hope this helps,
MBN
yea, I'm sort of looking just to get the original one back, I'm not sure what I should do. I guess if I don't have a solution I'll be forced to run a backup I did on sprite. Was hoping this was a common problem but i guess not
I had the same problem when I tried the demo out. After a little research on SPB's forums, it turns out that it is a known problem during uninstallation.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for you on how to fix it. I was so PO'd that I went and hard reset the phone. I hope that SPB fixes the issue and I'd like to see how support is for WM6.1

I'm tellin' ya, try the one I referenced above, it has just the corner app but where the original has a couple of options above the list of open apps, this offers three little buttons: Close All Open Apps|Settings|Memory %.
This takes up the same real estate the other one uses... give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

I actually tried it, and I love. The only thing I don't understand is the functionally, all I can figure out as of right now that it shows memory usage,thats it. Anyway, thanks for the heads up! -Jeff
On Kaiser You can restore the today quick menu (in the upper corner): in the system settings find "X Button" icon - tap on it and there will be an option to turn it on/off. If its suddenly disappeared that can be becouse of something (e.g. 3rd application) turned it off. Thats happend in my case with SPB Pocket Plus on wm6.

Mobile Tide

Hi,
I recently bought a program called mobiletide. It enables you to see what the tide is anywhere in the world. Great for watersport/sea fanatics! http://www.mobiletide.co.uk/
Does anyone use this? If so how on earth do I access the program?!? I have it installed but it does not work! This is the email sent from the company;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Will, you need to find the shortcut command keys with the handset (*) and
(#) on your keypad will action the same command as the conventional soft keys. it does take a bit of research but all the commands are there to navigate/select, etc.
Regards,
Dan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not much use/help! Any suggestions welcome!
Cheers in advance,
Will
look in the Program files folder (internal storage or device, depending on where it was installed to)
Hi,
i use the program cTide (http://airtaxi.net/ctide/) it's free and it works great.

I am confused - It installs it into the JBlend program. It runs on Java. Do you have it working on your device?
Will
oh right, sorry didnt realise it was Java!
no i dont use it
if you open Jblend, it should be there in the window that opens.
My guess is that William is asking how to use the program because Mobile Tide is expecting a normal mobile phone keypad and he hasn't got one so he can't issue any commands to the app
Am I right?
EDIT: @William, It looks like MT uses the D Pad for menu navigation and sets up on screen soft keys (I'd try it but there's no downloadable demo ), maybe you could describe what happens when you start the app.

Hi Will, I don't have GRemote but from the highlight on your Programs screen it looks like that was also running.
How about a soft reset and look for Mobile Tide again?
Go into to Programs>All Programs, find Mobile tide and run it again.

HI,
Does anyone know if slidersounds can be put on the X1, so when i slide it open it will play a sound.
I would be really greatfull if someone could tell me how.

Would be cool if they work...
I have downloaded but cant seem to get them to work?
Im hoping someone with more knowlege would help to solve it.
You could get some good sounds going
PLAzmA's Sliding Sound Pack
Probably the easiest way:

thankyou
will try this tonight
Works a treat
Thanks for pointing out the thread if anyone else is interested then read the instructions and the last posts on the thread.
Hmmm. just had a go with my X1. It plays the open sound, then crashes.
I have tried different sounds, and combinations, but same every time.
Perhaps its something else i have installed not getting on with it.
Never mind.
Thanks to Plazma for the proggy, though. Maybe it'll work after my next hard reset.
Cant get it to work on my X1..anything i'm missing here??
follow method 2
worked fine but make sure you go into settings once installed and set it up, enable "run service on startup" and also make sure it has the correct location for the sounds otherwise it wont play.
More slider sounds for you:
Transformers,
scifi,
zip,
Startrek doors,
Kitt (from nightrider)
all available here

It involves doing it manually but all you need is in the first post.
Mine did not crash at all just install to device.

Change hourglass/waiting cursor

Hi all,
already searched the forum and even tried Google, but it's not my friend this time.
I don't really like the standard hourglass on my Raphael, I would like it to be some more in TF3D style or at least without the white background.
I found out you can change it with a Marshall's Waiting Cursor program, but the developer's site is down and there is no other place you can download the program as far as I know.
Is there another useful program to change it? Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
His site seems to be working on my end...
I don't know any other software that does the same. I uses Marshall's program for a while on my Tilt, seemed to be working ok. The occasional glitch though.
Cheers,
Cacti
i second MWC2.

Thanks, the site works here now too. Strange.
I'll try it, since it's the only way to change the cursor. Is it so hard to create such cursors?
Wisbar Advance also has the option of customizing the wait cursor. However it is not freeware.
The cursor images/frames are stored in one of tthe dl's(or dll.mui.*) in Windows folder. Open the dll in PC using some resource editor(PE Explorer or Resource Tuner for example) and change those bitmaps. Copy it to your Windows folder back using Resco Explorer(this is the only one,which can overwrite ROM files) and restart.
Anyone that's using MWC2 ever notice their device randomly turning on?
Last time I tried it my screen would come on out of nowhere. Once I uninstalled it the problem went away.
