Hey folks, I got my Wing a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I had a treo before, and this makes me much happier. I had gotten into modding the UI a bit and playing around with the best combos of third-party software on my old treo, so I started playing with my Wing. Well, I've gotten probably mid-level with my technical modding competency thus far. I'm comfortable with most progs and mods I've found below actually flashing the ROM, and I'd think about that too, but I've gathered that most of the TF roms out have trouble on the Wing. So far, I'm overclocked to 260, tweaked some stuff in the registry, installed the HTC Touch UI minus the cube and all that, but I'm not quite happy. So, I have some questions:
On the HTC Home 5 tab skin:
1. Is there any way to put custom icons in the launcher area? Not just style-wise(though that would be good), but that link to things that aren't on the list? I'd really love to but a button that would take me to "settings" in there, like the one that takes you to "programs". I have a few other ideas too.
2. On the weather tab, I know there is a way to add cities to the "select city" list by getting the city code off of accuweather.com and changing the registry, but I can't figure out how to get the code for my city when I look it up on the site...I search it, and it comes up, but where is the code?
3. I put the HTC black theme on here, but I wondered, are there any others available? I know I've seen a blue one, and I think I've seen pictures of an HTC Touch that had a red theme....
Other Stuff:
1. I tried to up my page pool to 6mb like it says in the "all you need to know" thread, but the preparation app wont work....I install it, but nothing happens after that....I can't find it to open or anything else...Is installing it enough?
2. Is there any way to keep wm6 from putting the recently used programs on the start menu?
3. Is there any way to change the two links on the bottom bar that the soft keys are mapped to? Not change what the keys are mapped to, but like, change "Calendar" to "Settings" or "Contacts" to "Messaging", for example?
4. Is there anything out there that would let me navigate my phone with my finger? I know certain programs have this capability, like Opera Mobile's latest beta and PocketCM(which I use), but I'd like it on all windows that require scrolling....
Apps:
1. Anyone know the best app to use to stream radio and/or tv on my phone?
2. What's the best way to watch youtube? I wouldn't ask, but I've found like three or four different threads/articles on ways to do it, and I don't know which I should use. I prefer to use Opera as my browser, but I can use PIE now and then, if the process actually lets me watch it in my browser....
3. Can ya suggest any good games?
Well, thanks in advance for any help you can give. I've been trolling here for a while, so I know there are some very smart people here and I have faith. Sorry for asking so much, and forgive me if I should have broken this up a bit into different threads, but I'm trying to perfect my phone, and this was basically what was left on my list....Any other tips on how to achieve my goal of making a nice, clean, finger-friendly UI and putting the picking the best apps would be appreciated too.
Peace.
Ok, I figured out the HTC weather thing, and the today softkey thing, so I'm good there. Any help on the rest?
I can cover a few for you but any more's gonna cost ya....
flash your phone with either of the touch roms out right now and you will be able to finger scroll in nearly all applications.
try avotmv, or search using google for similar programs for streaming videos(avotMv includes youtube as well as google).
Many streams to tv stations can be opened with WMP directly which makes it alot easier to connect to them by saving them as PIE favourites. You just need to find 'em first, I would suggest doing that from your computer first.
I've recommended Flux Challenge before, ill do it again...apart from that I don't run too many games from my pocket pc. Seal Volleyball is kinda fun too.
Maybe some others can assist you with the rest
cheers
Hello, sorry if this has been answered, but I've seen some today screens with cool media players (song info, pause, stop, play buttons, etc), but haven't gotten anything to show on my Today Screen. I've installed various plugins, but they're just not right.
I switched over to Dutty's ROM and really like the HTC look. I want to plug more functionality into it.
Can someone recommend some options and provide some screenshots?!?
I'm going crazy trying to find something that plays on the Today Screen while I putter around with other things.
Any info is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Download Kaisertweak. There you can enable the musictab.
Hey Tommy, thanks, but I already have the tab. I have seen people with a default, "frontpage" Today Screen plugin, without any tab, it just rests towards the bottom of the screen.
I want it to run while other things are going on. I may be asking too much.
Thanks for the post.
im having trouble puttin in links into the cube. I went to cube settings and i picked which menu i want to edit. I pick the picture icon and pick the pictures and videos ink, but when i go to my cube it does nothing when i click it. My music and video links both work in the cube, its just the pictures that does not work. Anyone have any idea why it doesnt work?
well, now that you've mentioned it, for some reason both my photos and videos buttons don't seem to do anything anymore... both were fine yesterday... :S
oh so i guess im not the only one having this problem. any suggestions?
i uninstalled cube... it didnt really do what i wanted it to do... and would have taken a while to set up properly
Today I got this strange thing happening with my screen when sliding keyboard. I dont know how to explain so I uploaded video on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az00qkB3k2M
You can see some kind of waves,and it's only happening when I load some of coocked in themes and only in homescreen.As you can see it doesnt show when I'm in programs or some aplication or when I put some diferent theme.
Does anyone know what might be the problem. I flashed several ROMs today and shame s..t was there. Thanks
Either youtube is too lame to show of the "waves" or i can't see them.
Acutally... i found it pretty fast
i've got the same problem - well... not that it's a problem to me.
i just wanted to ask what ROM are you on? screen rotation is fast
Yaeh some special tweaking + super fast ROM from 888 he dumped the HT's ROMeOS. Anyway,its not perfect video but you can see on the center of the screen,its driving me crazy.
You sure you don't have something inbetween the kaiser itself and the screen ?
Dirt or something?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've got the samething. I 've always thought that something has been pressing the screen while sliding the keyboard out and it's probably more viisible on some colours like blue on your video
Yes,well said,its only there when its some light colour,but if I put some pic like wallpaper its gone. Im pretty sure that the space between is clear. I tried just to press backside of sliding part of screen like the area where sim card is and it trigger same behaviour
Hello xda dev members, I was wondering if some of you could help me with the following.
On my Diamond I recently installed PocketGBA, and I'm having problems finding a good way to setup the d-pad buttons (left, right, up, down). Up and down aren't a problem but left and right are, seeing theres not really any hardware buttons for that around the circle.
I'm guessing this could also be a problem with other apps/games. Does anyone have a suggestion on that buttons to use or on how to set this up?
Thank you
tis a problem, i have given up with the d-pad, only play games with on-screen controls
Thanks for your reply, however I dont exactly want to give up on PocketGBA
Is there anyone out there who found a useful setup for this? To make it playable? Most of the controls can be placed on screen, except for the d-pad. Which I guess would be a pain to use when on screen anyway..
If anyone knows of a way, please let me know. Thanks.
