Hi,
I just got this unit a couple of days ago, having used the Treo 750 for the past 1.5 years. A few questions I would like to ask
- Is there a way to increase the number of calendar entries that I can see on the main TF3D screen? I used to have SPB Diary and it allows me all kinds of configuration.
- Is there a quick way to switch between silent mode and normal mode? Right now, I have to click on 'Silent' but I have to increase the volume to get out of silent mode. The 750v has a very very nice physical toggle that allows me to do just that. I'm pampered by that!
- For incoming call and SMS (after that reg hack), the phone wakes up from stand-by. Is there a way to lock the screen until you press a button or something?
- SMS interface. Is there a quick way to scroll through the matches on the receipient box (instead of just showing me the first match) if you have multiple matches? Just like the phone dial interface. Days when I'm not feeling lucky (it's not the first match), I have to go 'Add receipient' and search from there. The 750v allows me to do just that, it's a lot faster and more efficient.
Thanks.
Regards,
JK

Ok, post things you would change here, and lets se if any of the wonderful deverlopers can make it so?
Mine so far would be:
More options on the home screen menu, i.e. as well as call history and calender, maybe comm manager, task manager etc?
A quicker lock function than holding hang up for 5 seconds and selecting lock device...
The wallpaper of the homescreen showing on all other tabs...
Im sure i have more, will post them when they come to me....besides that i love it...
The first thing that comes into my mind is that you only can have 16 contacts 'at the front'. I would like to be able to browse my whole phone book like that
Better calendar integration with the TouchFlo 3D would also be nice. As well as fully customisable tabs
I want TF3D removed

Start - Settings - Today
tap on Item tab
Uncheck Touchflo3d, Check other items that you want displayed (eg. messaging, Tasks, Device Lock etc)
tap on ok.
Done
I just came up with a brilliant idea. Maybe not an application which would be very useful. But rather fun i guess.
How about a phone pad with the classic old look of a num wheel. With animation and all. Integrated with the TF3D of course
Anyone feel the urge to make one now?
I want the diamond to wake up and ring and vibrate as soon as i get a new email through windows live. right now, the diamond doesn't wake up on new emails
Hi, the Diamond returns itself to the Today Screen (with the huge clock) every time the device locks itself. I did the registry hack "AutoDeviceLockEnable" to lock itself after it goes to standby (40 sec.). This also happens when LONG pressing the right phone button.
I like to stay in my apps after switching the device off.
I have NO PASSWORD policy on the device (I know there are other articles which claim password policy is the reason)
Is this Windows 6.0/6.1 generic or a "special feature" in co with the TouchFlo interface?
Maybe someone knows a reg-key to turn that off.
Would be a great help!
Yours B.
Untick the today timeout in settings > today.
??? This setting is to return to today screen after 4 hours of usage, that doesn't help!
pushing it up, can't believe no one has an idea!?
Annoying for me too. The other day I was editing some settings, left the phone for 30s so it locked and went to the today screen which messed my TFL3D for a little while.
Anybody have a solution please?
Has this been solved yet.
As I want to put device on lock with the application in use screen still displayed
still nothing?
This is standard WM behaviour, it returns to the Today screen upon locking. In my opinion, your options are (1) use a different lock or (2) use a task manager to easily switch back to the required program.
I don't use TF3D so it's easy for me to select the required program using a simple task manager at the top of the today screen. I use DevState 1.5, configured to show just a row of big task icons. This works really well in combination with SPB Pocket Plus, like so:

You can try TouchLockPro
This is special made for locking/unlocking with an running application active.
I have been using the kaiser since dec/2007 and not everything is working as expected.
Background - I have a second phone SE W880i and I am very satisfied with the user interface.
Do you think there will be ever an easy way to use the kaiser as phone such as a ordinary phone? I would expect the kaiser to be more than that...
Anyway, my questions are quite straightforward: (for now
1) How can I prevent the phone from waking up when I receive a text message? (because mostly something in my pocket touches the screen and calls my contacts)
2)How can I set up the function of the JOG (the wheel button on the side) (I would like to be able after holding the wheel a task manager to pop up and with the wheel to choose a running program and to activate it with a push of the wheel again)
3) Is there a dialer / dialer skin to enable really easy and accurate access of the number-pad with fingers?
If you know a program, solution or workaround, please let me know...
Edited: [First]Second Conclusion 14 September 2008
After reading the posts (see below), searching and testing I found a good solution for the Kaiser to fulfill its function as a phone using these components:
Dialer - Minimal dialer (fast, simple, easy to push the keys with fingers(thumb)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395086
Contats - iContact (either the original (now v0.8) or iContact BE (now v6.3.2b2) (very fast, finger friendly and has the functions you would expect)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395829
http://burt.vndv.com/
UI - PointUI 1.51a - it is very fast & smoothly, finger friendly and has most of the functions you would expect!
http://www.pointui.com/
http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=613 (customizing & tweaks - forum & links)
- on the same day I have posted the the above, I found a newly available UI
Touchflo2d/manilla - it is very fast & smoothly, finger friendly and much more rich on functions than PointUI. Also more rom&ram demanding! Its in beta but everything works ok (depends on your rom)! Now this is my choice!

(works only with htc devices)
->and if you use manilla, then a S2U2 is a very handy application for locking the keyboard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
All the applications are free (but you can, of course, donate .
Drawbacks:
Dialer
- only white schema, I prefer black because of the battery endrance
- not sure yet how to change the sound of keys to quiet ticks (the same sound you hear when you delete the whole number by holding the delete key)
Contacts - ??? not found any (yet
UI
PointUI
- it is not optimised for the kaiser, so you can't use for example the ok button to go back in menu.
- This is the most complex part and everyone expect different functions
- no real customization
Manilla - it is too early (still first beta) to judge
-I could not find any customizing tools...
-a bit too heavy (with all the applications)
If you know a solution for the Drawbacks or you have a different experience, please let me know.
I use ROMeOS 4.5.3
If you wanted to use the kaiser as an ordinary phone, why did you buy one? I can tell you don't even extend the functionality past texting and calling.
1) If you use the locking function, that wouldn't be an issue. (Slide 2 unlock is a great program for those who toss their expensive brick into their pocket).
2) AE button plus to launch the task manager of your choice. (You might want to set it to launch the task manager on hold so you can jog down to the item of choice and press it without launching task manager again).
3) There is a bunch of dialers in the development section of XDA-developers. A quick search will return probably the most popular. As for finger friendly, the default dialer is more than enough. But i do recommend you to check out other dialers.
Thanx for your reply.
I use the kaiser form many purposes - browsing web(which now with the last version of Opera is really nice to use), gps navigation, store notes, skype..
But I would expect that it should be at last as good as an ordinary phone to make calls.
I will try the AE buttons.
The keys: Firstly I thought the dialer is nice to use, but then I had an iPhone in my hand, and is more accurate when using the num-pad. But its only a sw issue...

Hi, the Minimal dialer is really very nice. Although it could have a bit more functions assigned to the hw keys, its the nicest touch keyboard I have seen on my phone
Thank you!

S2U took care of my pocket call issues. So even if it wakes the touch screen isnt gonna dial your contacts
I really enjoy this forum since it helps me a lot to increase the productivity with my HTC Touch Pro. I found many useful applications. Unfortunately, after installing a large number of them, I run into the infamous 32 processes limit of Windows Mobile. So I decided to write my own app that combines all the features that I find useful. It is implemented as a Pocket PC service, so it does not require an own process.
Here are the features:
- Better vibration for incoming calls. I found the built-in vibration function very annoying as it vibrates permanently during an incoming call. This extensions vibrates in pulses of 300 ms with a pause of one second when a call is incoming
- SIP changer depending on stylus state. If stylus is out, another soft input panel is selected as if stylus is in. Can be changed via the registry keys StylusInSIP and StylusOutSIP.
- Stroke Launcher. If the finger is stroked from one button to another, an application is launched.Four directions are possible: From home button to accept phone call button and vice versa as well as from back button to reject phone call button and vice versa. The applications can be configured via the RightUpApp, RightDownApp, LeftUpApp and LeftDownApp registry keys. The required length of the stroke can be configured via the GestureMinLen registry key. Unfortunately, the program has to poll HTC's NAV sensor directly in order to not disturb the functionality of the wheel sensor. The sleep time between two polls can be configured with the GesturePollingDelay (in ms). If you use very fast strokes and the device does not react, try to decrease this value.
- Key lock if device is face down. The key lock is activated and the device is powered off if it is turned face down. The key locked is acknowledged by two short vibrations. Key lock can be disabled depending on the foreground window or active process list. Exclude list can be specified via the ExcludedProcesses and ExcludedWindows registry keys. The tolerance for the face down detection can be configured via the FacedownTolerance registry key.
The registry settings for Buttler are stored in HKLM\Software\Butler. Each extension described above can be switched of by setting the EnableFeature registry key to 0.
As I have not much time to react on bugs or feature requests, I have also attached the source code. Fell free to modify my Butler but please publish it here so that we all can benefit from it.
The Butler service is started with the program "StartButler.exe" located in the Windows directory. I call it from a MortScript during device boot. It is important that HTC Touch Flo 3D is already loaded. For some reason, the gsensors can not be initialized if Touch Flo 3D is not loaded. Here is the code I use:
# Wait for TouchFlo3D
While(ProcExists("manila.exe")=0)
Sleep(1000)
EndWhile
# Start the butler
Run("\Windows\StartButler.exe")
Have fun!
Siggie
Change log:
V1.0:
- Initial release
V1.1:
- Reading of the NAV sensor completely rewritten. The sensor is now directly polled. This does not interfere with other programs, so the wheel sensor and the camera is working again.
- EnableFeature registry keys added for switching off each extension individually.

sounds like an excellent program, I'll try it
man, great app. it is totally replacing hbutton, and lets me start using voice commander again. two questions....can you list the other sip layout entries? i really want to use the full qwerty when the stylus is out and in. secondly, is there a way to define a diff lock such as s2u2 and then shut down. either way, the function is fine as is and really, thanks for sharing
I'm interest in Stroke Launcher more than the other apps. is there a chance you can provide a cab for just that portion of your application> I know it's contrary to your original intent (of combining apps) but that's the only one of those apps I really would want so I have the opposite- no desire to install any extra apps even if it's a single process Thanks.
about to give it a shot, sounds great
but i second the request to have s2u2 when put face down
noticed that if you delete the entries for sip, keeping the actual keys though. butler wont start. guess it still needs to check those values i was trying to get it to do nothing to my sip's and just keep full qwerty.
edit** here is the key for full qwerty {36BC8FF6-8241-4c36-ABDE-204885471FEE} and the other keys are all listed under HKCR/CLSID and look like this:
(HTC SIPs)
{198D503A-...} = Phone Keypad
{36BC8FF6-...} = Full QWERTY
{62B00599-...} = Compact QWERTY
(MS Default SIPs)
{42429667-...} = Keyboard
{42429690-...} = Letter Recognizer
{42429691-...} = Block Recognizer
{F0034DD0-...} = Transcriber
Maybe it would be easier to be able to just input the name
Sound great, I'll give it a try as well.
can you make it so that when it face down, the light turn off?
ok i figured out how to change what sip came when
and i turned off "facedown"
only problem is that the smart scroll such as zooming in opera and pics no longer works or autofocus in camera
Great app cannot go unrecognized!
so i downloaded and installed and forgot to make shortcut. A day after i just luanch it using fileexplorer with copy on storage card. Sounds like alot but considering i only reset once a week maybe... its not so bad.
After using it for a half day. I have to admit i was waiting for a way to use shortcuts with out using manilla. I am a RLtoday fan and i dont really use all of manilla features. I LOVE IT. I am considering removing Manilla all together. This has great potential for those of use that want alternatives to manilla.
This should really be placed in essentials.
Thank you.
**BTW cant get screen lock disabled, anyone have more detailed instructions for disabling face down lock?
to disable the lock i set the sensor threshold to 0
in the registry path that was said earlier in the thread
V1.1 available
I have added a new version that fixes the wheel sensor and camera problem. There are also now registry keys available to switch off each feature individually.
ok I dont know what happend but i installed this app and after a restart the keyboard pops up on the splash screen and the phone freezes.. I need a resolution fast. I really dotn want to hard reset. I have a lot of stuff i need back up.... Please help!!!
fuk it. had to hard reset.
any chance on just releasing stroke launcher as a standalone app so we don't need to install all and then disable them? Thanks
Exclude S2U2
How can I disable stroke launcher, when s2u2 is active? I tried to add S2U2(name of DWORD value=0) to ExcludedWindows and s2u2.exe to ExcludedProcesses, but stroke launcher is still active, any ideas?
Great App siggie1970,
Thanks .. I Think The most important thing to do now is to add a User Interface for the configuration..as it kinda hard to do it through the registry
thanks
Wow amazing programs are being released and 09 just started. Great name btw How are resources being used with this program? Since your combining apps perhaps you could work with the guy to incorporate his new alternative to gyrator/ screen tilt app.

that is not the purpose of the program
would it be possible to turn one of the sides into scrolling up and down?
like leave the left up and down for app launching but right side scrolling that would make it pretty much perfect for me
then of course a configurator, although i got it setup but no fun having to change on each new install
It sounds like a great program, thanks! Stroke Launcher, I like that one LOL
A) I have a persistent "1" as the leftmost icon in the status icon area, and it wont go away. the official HTC manual for the phone (page 36) does not say anything about numbers showing up there. what does it mean and how do i get rid of it?
B) is there a way to keep the keyboard from popping up on EVERY screen that has an input field? sometimes i just want to look at a screen and touch my way around it. how do i make the default behavior NO keyboard?
C) is there something wrong with my diamond or the G sensor only works in a couple apps (camera, photo browser, opera)? How do i enable it for text msging for example?
thanks in advance. i miss my hermes... that was much easier to use!
Not sure about question 1.
Question 2 there is a registry setting you can change or you can download Diamond Tweak. (Under Keyboard (SIP) there is an option for Automatic display) disable this).
The diamond doesn't natively support Landscape mode therefore you need to download an app like Gyrator to make this happen.
thank you thank you matty. #2 is really the most important Q.
