Hello
I tried to find suitable Cube application for my HTC Kasier(genui from HTC)
Please advice me which one is the best for not advanced users...I mean way of configuration needed after instalation?
regards
I'm going to be really annoying here:
Search the forum.
Not only are there numerous posts about the various cubes, there is even a wiki.
Perhaps we can close this thread now.
There is something to know about the cube applications : they do slow down your device.
Each time you will press the screen, it will slow down the running application, because the cube application will interract to know if by pressing the screen you try to access to the cube application ...
I discovered that by using a paint application. When I was drawing pictures, it was very very slow. I deinstalled the cube application, and then I could draw pictures with no problems...
So you should think twice before installing these apps !
The only animated today plug-in I've liked so far is Ultimate Launch - but I guess that's not a true cube. I know Dutty's buddys seem to love his implementation of the cube. Why don't you check that out?
Also you should try dutty's vista suite, the cube and touchflo are integrated there, no need for configuration and works really well and stable. Although, it doesn't have four pages or fancy animations as in others.

so i got a t-mobile wing. my first smart phone. its amazing. anyways i have a few questions:
1. Where can i get a nice big digital clock today screen plugin? i see them on screen shots of peoples screens but i can't find any.
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
5. What is the best browser to use?
if you guys could help me that would be great. i have yet to find a forum about WM6 or the Wing that where people actually go to the site.
All of those and more are located within the forum in easy to find threads. The great thing about looking around the forum is you will find stuff out that you never even thought of. I would recommend reading and getting acquainted to the forums, its a much better way to learn than someone just linking you somewhere. And congrats on your new Wing.

this is HTC home plugin
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
HTC home plugin shows weather. if not try SPB Weather, SPB Traveler, SPB phone suite (the only ones I have experience with)
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
Go to Settings, Buttons to change the softkeys
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
In my opinion, no not really ... just be considerate of what you install on your phone and what executable files you run.
5. What is the best browser to use?
I haven't settled on one yet, but I use Mozilla's MINIMO and OPERA 8.X apart from IE.

Hope this helps
i guess my other post didn't show up? well every search results in HTC Home or TouchFlo.
i don't want all the stuff from HTC home, just the clock and simple weather, no tabs or any of that stuff. is there a way to have just the clock and/or weaher?
and thanks for your help
also, going to settings>buttons has no optinos for softkeys, only hardware keys.
opera mobile is a lot better, i like how you can scroll by dragging on the screen.
I do use Opera most of the time, I've just always been a big supporter of Mozilla stuff ... so I keep it around
I just wanted to give you a few options so you could try them out for yourself and see what you liked.
i havn't tried minimo because i heard it was slow and uses a lot of memory. is that true?
Is there any cabs out there that I can install on my Tilt to have the same looks and effects?

Yeah....use search next time.
Are you referring to these? (screenshots below)
They are all taken on my tilt. It uses the old beta of touchflo 3D, diamond tf3dc config, and the at&t theme posted in the diamond forum.
What does not work is the touchflo 3d still will not let you power your device down, randomly freezes, and is very very slow.
Edit, and i almost forgot the resizing that the smaller screens have to do makes it look 'dirty' and not so clean cut as the original.

The screen shot seems to show Manila working in landscape mode.
That is already in touchflo 3D, though, not working.
An alternative was something for manilla 2D that uses mortscript and shows a display much like that. Its somewhere in development and hacking.
Thanks I really appreciate it as well as your awesome sig. It certainly explains why I couldn't find a cab when I did a search.
No problem. I just wish I could tell you what the name of it was, but I don't remember (as I never used or had a need for it.)
Does anyone know of an alternative to TouchFlo 3D. I spoke to an HTC technician who told me that he uses a better program for his Diamond that has better response times etc, but he wouldn't say what it was. I was complaining about the response times on the phone.
He probably meant PointUI, SPB Mobile Shell, Winterface or any number of alternatives. Been trying SPB Mobile Shell 3 which is pretty good (there's a free trial) but my fav so far is PointUI (free "light" version) - http://www.pointui.com
There are also a couple of iPhone clone interfaces in the Development and Hacking section.
Thanks a lot for that echolock. I am just downloading the free Pointui to the phone. Do I have to disable TouchPro 3d before loading it or will it do that automatically. I am fairly new to the phone so please excuse my ignorance.
Yes, you have to disable TF3D before using PointUI.
After all, if you decide to keep PointUI instead of TF3D, you have to flash your phone with a naked Rom so you gain space and memory.
Do you know how to disable TF3D. My phone is an Orange branded one if that makes a difference. They use thier own ROM. I can't find a way to disable it anywhere. I have downloaded Pointui directly to the phone but I can't start the program. It isn't in programs. I have found it in my documents. Can you help.
Go to start-settings-today, under items, untick touchflo.
Thanks for that. TF3D is now disabled. Any idea how i load Pointui onto my phone now?
Download the program (which is a .CAB file) to your computer, then copy to the phone (storage card is best area)
Then, using FileExplorer, naviagte on the phone, to the location you saved it, and click on the program, it'll ask a few things, just click the left soft button.
Thanks for that. Installed it and works fine. It does seem beeter than the TF3D.
I use scott seligman's launcher on the standard windows today screen,it just add's program icon's to today screen,one tap open's any application,no sliding this thing here,flipping this there,scrolling up or down.
It's not finger friendly though,unless you have pointy little finger's,or usually use a stylus anyway,but it doesn't get much faster or less resource hungry than this simple app.
WAD from lakeridgesoftware.com is pretty incredible
let me know what you think
hi there...
some weeks ago, i had the touch hd (Blackstone) and there was the touchflow GUI installed but i was still able to get behind it and use the phone the normal winows mobile way...
how can i get this on this device?
Eh... disable touchflo perhaps?
i want both! at the same time... the behavior is more restricted on this phone now...
thought that was noticeable in my question
If you would like to use TouchFLO and the Windows Today screen, you should use TouchFLO Detacher.
I guess this is what you have seen on the blackstone (it is not standard).
ok, i will follow your link...
i mean (things that i found first) that when i hit the windows logo (or button) now there is only touch flow grafic menu stuff...
no old windows start menu any more...
no old windows setting, programms etc, menu behaviour...
thanx! anyway ;-)
i checked the vid, and it might work for me, i will test on my device later....
but, its not completely the way i t was on th blackstone...
on diamond2 the windows start menu is comlpetely taken over by touch flow, taken away, hidden... swapped with the big icons to start from...
the old tart menu was still there at the blackstoe (touch hd device)
yes there is, just go to the settings tap and press anvanced :-D then the windows menu appears
Ah.. Now I get what your problem is..
Please have a look in this thread.
I guess this is what you are searching for. Let me know if it is.
thanx, i think it is exactly my prob...
bloody hell, didnt find that before...
will try and follow there, also someone talks about wm6.5...
in the wiki here, for diamond2 is nealry nothing that links to tweaks or stuff, at the touch hd wiki entry there is so much to follow ;-) lets see what the future brings to my phone...
With all the Topaz based Roms, many Tweaks of Touch HD are also possible on Topaz. So don't be shy to visit the Touch HD section of the board ;-)
greets
I keep going back and forth between the two on my Imagio, but I think once we get TF3D 2.5 I'll be able to stick with HTC's software. Question is: Will the Imagio handle it well?
BTW thanks for the resource here!
me too, I have been going back in forth between the current touchflo version on the Imagio and SPB Mobile Shell.
Has anyone come up with a tweak yet for touch flo 3d 2.5 for the Imagio.
SPB MS 3.5 for me
I have been playing with TouchFlo since the first version on the HTC Touch and it is just too much work. I downloaded MS3.5 and I couldn't be happier. It takes up fewer resources and the customization is as easy as dragging and dropping. I use the leisure theme with a five panel widget home screen. You can add picture frames as widgets among other cool items. The contact management is integrated with Facebook automatically and the smart dial is awesome. If I decide I want to do custom icons later, I can get as deep into the xml component as I want.

See, now, I get the whole "pretty" thing with this shell, but I found it to be just too confusing because it has a lot of redundancies. On the other hand, TouchFlo by HTC is really powerful, but it needs more "clues" to find all of its functionality. Idunno..I just wish we could get this thing hspl unlocked so that the gurus can start cooking up some new roms..
TF3D does not work for me. I need to quickly check email and delete tehm on the fly and access many parts of the phone. Why cant we load the new Sense UIon the Imagio. MS 3.5 is great but the contacts and dialer are badly broken. I cant search for contacts easily by typing parts of the name (only searches file as field) and from the dialer screen you cannot get into the details of a contact to E.G. select an alternate number to dial.
I have been trying both on my new imagio, and am currently sticking with SPBMS3.5. The main reason is that for some reason, the text messaging interface with TF3D messes up my ability to rotate to landscape when replying to a message. I am not sure why...
I have hard reset, and it works for a short period of time, because it seems to be using the standard Winmo texting interface. After receiving a message from a contact, the interface seems to switch to a custom TF3D version, and I can no longer use the landscape keyboard.
Plus I like that I can have virtually all the things I need on a sweetly configured main screen at one tap.
My two cents...

The folks over at PPCGeeks have unlocked the Imagio! And there are a number of ROMs already ready for flashing. As for TF3D and Mobile Shell, I have found no issues with TF, and with the new Cookies home tabs, its even easier for me. I tried that mobile shell, and there were too many reduntant applications, and by the time I got what I wanted set up, it was several pages between what I really needed and what I needed to go through. That, and after a couple days, my phone started to really get buggy. I finally gave up and went back to TF.
Now, that was before flashing to an Energy ROM. Things are much better now! Check out PPCGeeks HTC Imagio section, several ROMS there waiting for you!
You know I just saw those this weekend and they look very promising! Especially the MaxManilla on the horizon. I am not sure whether to go with Manilla or Cookies...Any thoughts?
As for the TF3D and texting, I did some googling and found the fix. Sorry, but I can't remember, but I think it was on PPCGeeks. Had to add some manilla reg values and change one other and voila! It works now. Still not sure if I like TF3D better than SPB, but I am giving it a shot. What I do like is that SPB can have multiple weather cities. I don't think that I like the 3D mail reader on either app.
Thanks again for the tips.
