Guys, I'd like to have the same interface for browsing contacts as the HTC diamond has, or perhaps like the iPhone.
Does anyone know how I can do this? What files do I need and where can I get them?
Try PocketCM.

And Others Soft As well

I got iContact already.
What I like about the diamond, which I thought the iPhone has as well, is the ability to flick through images of your contacts with their names just below (or above) the corresponding image. Similar to how the pocketCM image viewer works actually, but then for contacts...

its commercial and worth it.

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?
I heard someone say that there is a plugin that will allow you to browse your contacts like the iphone does?

Yes, there is. Use the search option and you will find it.
I like iContact there is also PocketCM (I believe that's it). Try a search for those.
finger friendly friends is a good stuff, the best i have used so far
I don't know the PocketCM app exactly, but it hardly can be better than the finger friendly friends... best pocket app I've ever seen.
You can also use the HTC RandomAccess cab (this scroll by letters), look at the Cab Collection (sticky thread).
But definitely +1 for FFF, it rocks !
Yeah, I forgot about this. I currently still have a Hermes (with a radio that only works sometimes) and am looking to get a Kaiser soon. FingerFriendy Friends does look like a winner...
FFF looks really good, the advantage with PcoketCM is that it includes other functionality such as threaded SMS that works really well
You can also download an ipohone skin for version 0.15 that looks good
For me it is the best all rounder that I have used to date

PocketCM version .15 is great, has a lot of functionality and many skins to choose from. You can get it here: http://www.pocketcm.com
Version .16 (development version) is a total rewrite of the skinning mechanism, so wait until this gets fleshed out more before upgrading to it.
I now have both.In my opinion they both excel in different ways The perfect combo for me would be the functionality of the keyboard in fff with the presentation of Pocket CM i.e when listing contacts the ability to show photos and it's own messaging gui rather than the stock wm6 one.
I find the buttons on the calculator on the Diamond to be too small. Can someone recommend a better one that works well with the Diamond?
Thanks,
Jon

You should have a look under the Themes,applications forum under the diamond where you will find a .cab file which makes the calculator look like the phone keypad. Heres the link:

Try 1-Calc Lite and does metric-imp conversions too
Hello, I have a Kaiser and I have come to the conclusion that the Calendar on it sucks. I've been looking around for a Calendar application that works with Google Calendar, I tried Pocket Informant, which was perfect, except it doesn't work with Google Calendar.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any program I could try?
ThumbCal v1.3.5
Yupp, Thumbcal is the ****...
thank you. I was using Pocket Informant, but Thumbcal seems better, less fiddly. I was also using Oggsync to get my google calendar information from google onto the Thumbcal, but i've just found this:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&ctx=sibling
which allows me to do what seems to be exactly the same thing, except 30 euro's cheaper. Now I just have to "buy" Thumbcal.
I've been using Pocket Informant, but trying out ThumbCal since it looks pretty neat. How does one set a category when creating an appointment? I can't seem to find it.
And can't find a manual for the program either. It's pretty simple, but it could have 'hidden' features, or explanation for some items.
I use Manilla in my kaiser, so when i open calendar in the home tab it still opens the old wm calendar. does anybody knows how to change it into the main one ?

Depends what app using but i use SBSH Calendar Touch and have hooked into M2D with the bellow info.

The only problem with Google's own syncing program, is that it will not handle multiple calendars. :-( They acknowledge this as an issue and have offered no intention to change it.
I happen to like the stock outlook calendar, I just wish you could do colors for categories.

Hello Gents!
A point that I really miss in comparison to the D1 is that the T2 does not show week in calendar. Only Day and month are there to choose from. Does anybody know a solution, i.e. a registry key or such?
Thank you guys for your help,
Cheers, Studebaker
No chance, you must use an additional calendar (view). BTW: Other calendars are more finger-friendly. Maybe important point.
Hmmm, I was hoping that this would be a quick fix since the D1 can do it as well. So is this a thing within the new TFL3D.....? That would suck big time.
Yes, it is the new TF3D.
But of course you can use the standard windows mobile calendar week view.
Ahm, how? I guess one has to switch of TFL3D to do so? But then everything is standard Win Mobile, which is pretty lame in comparison to HTC's finest TouchFlo. Right?

No, even with TFL3D enabled you can start the standard calendar (in German: "Start" / "Alle" / "Kalender").
In the new TF3D 2.5 there will be a week view for the calendar, but don't know if it will come to topaz, but it will probably be cooked in a rom when it's out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jjCNIZcM5s
