I really like the HTC home page pluggin. The big clock and the tabs on the bottom are quite useful. Does anyone know how I can add 1 more contacts tab to that inteface. I dont care for the weather tab, so I'd like to replace that with another contacts contact.
Is this possible to do?
Can you some of the Geniuses on this site, make such a thing please

Htc home customizer, you cant ad another contacts tab, but it allows you to change the tabs, as far as i know you cant have more than 1 contacts tabs on the home plugin.
I want it to be like Mobile shell 2's contacts tabs
I used to use Mobile Shell to do the multiple contact tabs. But, I am a fan of the HTC inteface and want to keep it.
Anyone have any ideas to do this?
I'm trying to find alternatives to the ugly standard programs on Windows Mobile. I have found alternatives for almost every program, like alarm, calendar etc, but I haven't found any alternatives for Outlook Mobile. What I need is a finger friendly program or skin for the sms and email-services.
Is there such alternative or skin?
hmmmm finger friendly.....well I think Vito SMS is pretty finger friendly for text messaging. As for emails, only I can think of Schapps new ROM he is working on called Touch or something that looks pretty finger friendly, but its still under private beta.
Hi, is there a way to manage SMS' on my PC?? I'm still not that quick on the on screen keyboard so it would be good to be able to type and send SMS' directly from my PC screen (including being able to use my contacts book) when my diamond is connected via bluetooth. Mobile device centre seems to lack this function.. I could do it on my old sony-ericsson, so I'm sure there must be a program somewhere to do it with my diamond!
Thanks.
With the little software MyMobiler (freeware), it's possible to view the real screen of your PPC and with the mouse and the keyboard of computer command every action in real time on your PDA.
Edit, cut, paste, read sms, launch program ecc.
every command on your Pc is in real time on your PDA
they need is the connection with ActiveSync

note that there're much more convenient (albeit commercial) solutions for this; see for example Jeyo Mobile Companion and its alternatives. see my dedicated articles.
I've been using the Jeyo Mobile Extender for years and am very satisfied with it. It makes it's own PST file in Outlook and has access to the outlook address book
I am one of those guys that uses Google services for almost everything. One of the most valuable services, for me, is the Calendar. However, keeping it in sync with my Touch Pro is not very easy and although there are some applications to handle the synchronization of calendars, I've not been very happy with them. Also, I have Linux on my laptop, which makes Outlook a little bit hard to use . I believe many people may have the same problems that I have. Having this in mind, I've started the development of a little application that shows the google calendar on the Touch Pro. I've included some screenshots of it.
What I would like to ask you is if this application would interest anyone or if I am already reinventing the wheel and there are better applications already done for the same purpose.
I've also attached the application. Remember that it is in the starting phase and right now only shows the events of the default calendar (except All-day events). If the response is favorable I will add the ability to view multiple calendars, to edit, add and remove events and to notify the user as the "reminder" settings of the events specify (right now I let Google send me a SMS, so it is not that important to me). I have not made an installer yet, so to try the application just unzip it to someplace in your raphael and run the executable (with File Explorer, for instance).
As it is, the application will not store or modify any data in your phone, except storing your username (and optionally your password) in the registry (key HKCU\Software\GooMobiCal).
So, what do you think? Should I continue to develop it? Do you have any other (better) option?

This looks great. Although I'd like to just see Google Calendar work with the calendar built into the phone. Like it did on my blackberry.
i'm with cladeus101. i would love for gCal to work with the existing calendar on the phone.
but then, i also think that the existing WinMo calendar looks ugly. i like the gCal look more. heh
This app is pretty awesome though! I would love to see the new features you mentioned.

You can use Google .net API to this this. There are some interessting opensource sync tools out there, but the developer stopped developing them Oh and there is no need for a PC to sync!
Yes I use google calendar but I've just been opening it in Opera. Which is fine but if there was something better...
Hi !
Nice application, that is promising.
Maybe that using Mobile Outlook with Google Calendar API will be also a great interesting alternative. (I am using a Mac). Online Google Calendar Synchronization with Mobile Outlook can be so great.
However, If it is too difficult, your application is in the good way. Please continue .

I would like to have a tool like the org. "Google Calendar Sync"4Outook but then for the build in Calendar. I'm using Oggsync now and that works more-or-less. It's a paid programm and the licence you pay for, is only valid for one year. (So i use the freeware version)
In de freeware function, the tool does not sync automatically every X-minutes. (And it supports only one calendar, but thats not a big problem to me)
So what i would like for Christmas is a automatic-calendar-sync-tool that syncs all fields in the calendar (and, if possible, syncs more than one calendar. And² if possible syncs the contacts aswell) Djeez, thats a big question for Santa
I'm with the general consensus .. I would really like to see an app that allows me to sync Pocket Outlook calendar with Google calendar, on an automated scheduled occurrence. As already stated, OggSync kind of works, which means I wont pay to purchase it.
The Google calendar is already available on mobiles (http://www.google.com/calendar/m), which I use occasionally, so I'd see little use in this app for myself.
If there is a possability to add appointments and share the agenda I would like to try it.
Also, it would be nice if the password is stored encrypted.
Hope you will develop it, I'm willing to test if you're looking for testers.
I just found this service that might be everything you already want: http://www.goosync.com/
I found something that is free!
This site is in beta, www.nuevasync.com ...let me sync google Calendar AND contacts for free w/activesync on Windows mobile. It's free for now, but it says "beta" so hopefully it won't change.

I'm impressed... That's exactly what my ActiveSync/Mobilitycentre does. I can even select more items to synchonize there, but wait, i won't!
If i am on the road, i cannot synchronize with my laptop So i would like to synchonize the phone just by using a tool (like the Google Calendar Sync) and my UMTS/HSDPA internetconnection.
Not sure what you mean Daneels. That site does let you sync with only your phone and 3G/data connection, no need for a laptop.
Basically you set up the active sync on your phone to sync with their server settings (that mimic an exchange server) and you can config active sync to do that at intervals of 5 min to 4 hours.
So contacts and calendar, from just the phone, using software already on the phone. Seems to work okay for me, though like I said the web page says "beta" so I'm a little nervous about how long it will last.

...With activesync... Activesync runs on both the phone and computer. By this i mean, very local even without internet, over bluetooth/usb. So i tought someone has re-invented activesync (is also free for Windows-users). If it is syncing over internet, than it's something different . If it enables the use of activesync over internet, than it is extra interesting!
So perhaps we we're having some miscommunication
Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say, it let me sync Google calendar/contacts over the internet with the phone...no PC/local connection involved! check it out I just hope it's free forever
These are both subscription services... I do not think that we need subscriptions, just a app that does the synchronization directly with Google. Without anybody in the middle.
I would be glad to start something like that... but I was amazed that there is no cheap way to develop for WinMo. Yes, the SDK is free, but you need Visual Studio, which is far far from free...

I'd love to see a talented developer coming up with this as well!
please work on this. Taking winmo into a cloud arena is the right direction. Google currently has the best cloud suite out there. This is great. I can not wait to be able to add events. until then those who are interested should use www.jott.com to add events. there is a google calendar plugin.
Version 0.2
Thank you all for your replies. I already knew GooSync, but not the other services, like nuevosync. However, they are either not free or require a third-party to forward my calendar to my ppc. I see no reason to give a third-party access to my own calendar data (Google already knowing my private calendar is enough for me). I was looking for something more direct.
Having not found anything free, I continued to develop my little application and arrived to version 0.2, which now allows viewing multiple calendars simultaneously (including the Outlook calendar) and allows to add new events to those calendars. Synchronization between Google and Outlook is in my to do list, but I prefer to get more familiar with both Outlook and Google APIs before diving into it. Also, there are a lot of little things to do before, such as:
- Remove events;
- Support All-Day events (they are not displayed yet);
- Support Multi-Day events (they are incorrectly displayed so far);
- Allow "Quick Add" events (easy on google calendar, not so easy on Outlook);
- Store the preferences (such as selected calendars) of the application;
- Store locally the google calendar events to access them offline;
- Encrypt the password on the Registry;
- and probably a lot more features and bug corrections.
Anyway, for those who want to check out how it is going, here are some screenshots and the application. As before, you only need to unzip the file to a folder on your PPC and run the GooMobiCal.exe file.
If you try it, please give some feedback on how to improve it and which features you consider more urgent keeping in mind that synchronization will take a while. Also, I'm doing this on my free time, which really isn't much, so the development is not as fast as I'd wish.
Hi everyone,
I used to have MyphoneExplorer for my k800i but know I have the x1 but cant find any program like MyphoneExplorer for free.
Does anyone know a free program like myphoneexplorer to organize my texts/calls/ etc etc
Hope someone can help
ty
you should prob describe what functionality your MyphoneExplorer offered
as people here would be more likely to know about programs for wm then old SE phone programs
The program saves text messages.. and you can accept cals trough your pc.
I found oxycube from oxygen. But that program is pretty expensive.. and would like a similar free program
no one is using a phone manager on your desktop??

MyPhoneExplorer is an awesome program that let you connect your phone to your computer (either by bluetooth or cable), and from your computer you can do those things:
- Contact: view, change, and sync your contact to the program own database, or Outlook, Outlook Express, or Gmail
- The same thing goes for calendar and note, you can sync them to its own database or Outlook. With calendar, you are given the option to sync to GCal, Rainlendar, or ICal
- You can also set up alarm from your computer and sync it to your phone
- It syncs all the record of your call: miss, receive, dial
- It syncs all your messages, and with the extra feature of archive your deleted messages.
- It let your browse your files on the phone: your pictures, your music...
- it monitor the status of your phone: storage, memory, bluetooth signal, phone signal, battery...
Literally, after connected, your computer is just like a huge screen phone with keyboard. You can browse everything that are on your phone. And when a sms arrives, it pops up like a chat window. And when a call comes, it pops up on your screen whether you want to accept or reject.
So far I never seen any program that can do all sort of thing. I can get some program to do some certain things I want. But I dont see any that sucks up all things I need to do with my phone into 1 program, like MyPhoneExplorer. My mind was just blown away when I used it. Honestly, after switching to a Win.Mobile platform, I still miss some of the features from MyphoneExplorer. I admit I am a big fan of it, not mention that it is free.

I am in the same boat with you. I owned a k800i and try recently bought a Touch Pro2. I try to find a replacement for MyPhoneExplorer and I find this one: MOBILedit. Its features description and its screenshot show it has similar functions to MyPhoneExplorer. Unfortunately, my phone is unsupported. So I cannot tell you how well those functions work.
But I see your phone is on the supported phone list. So maybe you can try it and see how it compares to MyPhoneExplorer. It is not free thou. And I doubt if there is any program offers all those cool features for free.
I just found xilisoft mobile phonemanager and its free!!.. And I only want to buy software if its great .. and mobiledit its ok for free but not great!.. if you know what I mean
