Search widgets? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi everyone!
Thank you for all your hard work to making our diamond a little closer to perfection!! I love it almost to much.....
Well I'm wondering if it would be possible to add a tab that would have a bunch of (in lack of a better word) search widgets. For example i'd love to have like:
wikipedia search
IMDB search
Google search
Thank you all
Adam

Seeing as these would have to open the browser anyway you could just make a HTML page to do this and store it on your device then keep it as your homepage in the browser.

Good idé, I'll try it out and maybe return with some followup questions

PPC to iPhone

Friends,
Been messing around with the apps out there to convert the ppc to iPhone for fun.
I noticed in the settings, it brings up the six icons – weather, music, mail etc. How do I expand that section to include more icons? I know how to add but the background needs to be lengthened.
Is it possible to have more than one view? Example I have 30 applications on my ppc and like to create short-cuts to them. Can I have more then two or more screens for them?
Lastly, the effects of the applications closing, opening. I saw the one program and it didn’t seem to snazzy. Can you recommend any other effects programs?

My dear friend, get ready for some " use the damn search button"
What apps out there ? different apps have different function and customization.
The best iphone emulator , I think, is ifonz.
If you just want the today screen of icons, UL do a better job. Integrate with some other apps from PCM's . A_C's ... you will have a upper than iphone interface.
You seem like to open thread for almost everything you want to know. This is not every welcome by hostile peeps here
Again , with the "Search" button , a functional "read" ability and time, you dont have to use " creat a new thread" .
Alberz,
Actually, I already have iFonz and the cool apps already installed. I should have phrased myself different.
Besides the common apps found in the ifonz setup, what else is out there that might have been missed? I did a lot of searching, customizing the phone to look like it and so far it's pretty slick..
Probably won't last a week and I'll revert back, but some of the apps like Pisel Browser and the toughflo is sweet.

there is a thread in dev and hacking about the newest version of ifonz. You should go there and ask since peep over there is more interested in iphone UI and apps.
I just downloaded iFonz and it is a very cool app. I like it better then the other one I was working with, no disrespect to the author, did a great job but iFonz seems easier to setup. Still never a less, a lot of work just getting the phone to look like a iPhone..
thank you,
tvos

TF3D Home screen buttons

Hi, guys!
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
At first I would like to thank everyone about the awesome solutions and answers to all diamond -related questions I've read on this forum but there is still one I'd like to get some help with:
When i go to my home screen it shows the clock and under it are calendar and call history. Personally I dont need the calendar so i was thinking is there any way to change these? or add more, example e-mails... I'd like to have as much functions at the home screen as possible so I wouldn't have to scroll around the phone all the time.
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to XDA Developers!
Make sure you read the rules properly and get familiar with the search function.
This one I will answer: no, it's not possible for now, but a quick search would have given you the answer to your question.

how to manage notes

hello everybody,
its my first post and i'm trying to get help about manging notes. i've looked in other forums, used seach here, and i couln't find what any answer suitable.
the thing is that i use notes for my work a lot, but after a while i get stuck with lots of them that may be useful in the future but not right now. so i woukd like to know if there is a way (software) that would let store them by topic or any other form. i've read that we can't even read them in vista (pwi files).
the note option is great, after acaal you make one and it stores the contact and tima, but afterward you can only store them together.
thank you for your help.

If you have a full MS Offiice installation, check out OneNote. It will let you catagorize and sort to your hearts content. I am using Evernote, which I like it beacuse it is very searchable. You can even search for text in an uploaded image. If you are talking about the call notes, you might want to invest in a CRM program such as ACT.
I hope this helps

Searching for applications

Hello. I have been searching the internet, without any luck though of finding the programs i want.
First, i want a program, like ShopSavvy is for the Android, where i can use it on my touch pro to scan barcodes of products and find the best price.
Second, i am wondering if there is a way to have Google Street View on the touch pro. I have already seen KDKobes Google Maps Street View 2.3.1, from our forum. I was wondering though if there is an "official" or "fully working" program, as in KDJobes program unfortunately, location-data support and GPS integration aren’t working with this version of Google Maps.
Third, i want a program, like I-phone has, for Drinks (bartender?), same cool skins and graphics environment maybe?
Fourth, again like I-phone has a program where you record a song on the phone and then it goes through the internet and finds you possible matches.
Please, bare with me, as i a m new and maybe i didn't have enough luck or "easiness" finding these type of programs i want. Yes maybe i saw some "looking like them but weren't afterwards the programs i wanted, cause their functionality wasn't after all what i was searching for and was mislead by their Title Name.
So if you please know any "freeware/ or have to buy" programs that are exaclty as the one's i have described please feel free to post and tell me.
Thank you very much in advance,
Chris
let's see
1. barcode readers:
i-nigma barcode reader
QuickMark 3.3
Aura - but donno if this still works.....
2. Street view is officially supported by the latest Google Maps
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html
3. didn't heard of such a program for wm
4. i know a program it's called Music ID
hope that helps try to search harder next time
search diamond beer for a drink app that turns your phone into a glass of alcohol , if you mean a bartender then just do more searching also the site Fuzemobility.com is now your best friend go there all the time look at everything there . if you still haven changed ROMS on your phone i suggest you go get NRG's new winmo6.5 build 3.0 ROM . it has alot of improvements over the stock ROM , anymore questions just ask me
Is there an app that uses the GPS to track how much you've cycled and your speed etc? I think such apps exist for the iPhone but I'm looking for something for windows mobile.
gotta love fuzemobility lol

theres an app called track my run floating somewhere between here and fuzemobility.com
Just giving you a heads up don't go looking for everything that the Iphone has for your phone. Most of the time it will not be there. on to you questions
Shop savvy is a great program. Our closest thing is "Barcoroma"
Google street view. I use google maps from NRG'z Rom and I can get street view on it.
Drinks IDK your on you own for this one
Song recognition. Well try out Music ID works great for me.

Where does everyone go to get there the PPC software?
I go to http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php, although its not complete list and new releaase of an application can take a couple of days to make it to thier site. I find the site easy to navigate and search. The catagories and rating system help for filtering.
about the drink mix
i suggest watching this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496880&highlight=drinks
perhaps something will be done.

O2 default IE search is Yahoo! (Can't change it)

For some crazy reason O2 changed the search provider, is there a way of changing it?
I've noticed this as well. For the life of me I can't find anywhere on the phone to change it back to the bing search app.
For now, if I'm in IE and I want to search for something, I hit start first then hit the search button.
I dislike Yahoo that much.
I found this really weird too. So it's just an O2 thing?
I pressed the search button in IE and got Yahoo and not bing, it really took me by surprise. At any other time you get bing (or a contextual search box for the hub you are in)
I have not found how to change it either.
I thought such of rubbish things are forbidden in WP7 by Microsoft. What a disappointment if there is not any way to change the default search in browser.
Im unhappy about his as well. There should be a way to change it. Ill try and contact O2 tech support and wp7 support
I think this is pretty mental as it offers a conflicting user experience. I'm not Bings biggest fan, but the fact that you have two different such options is daft.
The key to good usability is consistency
Does anybody think this problem will get resolved or is it likely something we will have to hack around?

I would have thought that to that MS wouldn't allow a change away from their search engine.

The most likely reason is preventing a stink from the EU about locking people into their own search engine..

So instead O2 lock us into their choice of search engine.
I for one hate the fact that o2 have decided to replace Bing with Yahoo and really hope that future os revisions let us switch it back.
However I imagine MS ain't too fussed what with the fact that Yahoo search is powered by Bing.
Truth be told id like to remove the crappy o2 splash screen from boot as well. Rubbish!
Any updates on this topic?
I want bing!
Hi guys I am on O2 UK HD7 and here goes as follows
O2 Has used yahoo for search in IE
But if you press the hardware key for search it will come with bing
Its kinda mad but yeah we have two search engines built in
SOLUTION : - I personally love google so what I did was
go IE and get to google homepage www.google.com then go setting and Pin to Start
thats it you have a Google Tile for google search
You can preety much pin any of your favourite sites as tiles so I think thats preety neat
The default for T-Mobile US is Google search, so I'm glad they didn't choose Yahoo like O2
