I bought a Sprint Touch Pro from Sprint about a month ago and I must say that I am really enjoying this device. Tried all the tweaks and it worked better than out the box. I went to JD's custom rom and it all works even better. It's nice and quick and responsive. The only thing I miss is Windows Live Messenger on my today screen. I was wondering if anyone out there in the Matrix has discovered a way to add a new Windows Messenger Tab to the touchflo3d slider bar.
Bump ... I know I saw a screen shot once that the guy had the messenger tab and I can't find how to do it...have you been able to do this?

Pocket Pus 4
Wow great find! I actually like it! Not for the today plugin, but for the other features. My Wing feels more responsive. The new fingure scrolling/or panning is awsome, and the new task manager does an awsome job too! PIE tabbing too!
I was using the TouchFlo Alpha4 cab but i rather have Pocket plus 4 install just cause of the goodies.
Update..
Can anyone confirm if after installing Pocket Plus 4, your app launch faster?
ok. ok.ok
I have touchit lite and after seeing that video I am missing something. and again to have that we scroll around option looks preety damn cool
Use it with Touch it

Use it with Touch it
I use Pocket plus with the new touch it 2.0 rom on my wing, and it's great. I just disable the today screen feature because I prefer the way the HTC 6 tab today screen works/looks. You can still use the enhanced pocket IE (Scroll anywhere, tabs etc.) and their great close button feature without enabling the Pocket plus today screen interface.
Oh and as a reply to Rodney, it doesn't make my Wing any faster, just like the way the new features integrate with the touch it Rom.
that ks Duprade, I now realize my phones capabilities . and Nane921 I will give it a shot along with ur recommendation .
Thanks!
Pocket Plus 4
Agree with you there. Don't like the today plugin but love the other extra features. I havent installed the Touch it rom yet. I'm newbie and i'm so afraid to brick my only phone. I just did the pagepool and loveing my phone now with HTC pligins and SPB's Pocket plus Scrolling and Paning and PIE Tabing. Now if my phone coult make me some Coffee would be great!
Update..
Just realized you can go to the PockecPlus 4 settings and uninstall just the today plugin and keep the rest.
I prefer SPB mobile Shell - a combination of pocketplus and a real great "Now" screen that shows you all important infos before going to today screen.
Like missed,calls, phone, sms a clock, the appointments...etc.

Hey, I never saw that aprticular post you were talking about, But i did run into another.
Thanks all for the info. Since D made me see the light, I know know how to make my cube work. Neat as all hell. A few of the Mac'ers at my job are now making funny faces.
I am not to interested in the whole 4.0 package, even though I could prob find a crack code, I am happy with the way lite works.
I would just like WE to work like it does on pocket 4.0.
TouchFlow x pocket plus
As I found out reading the spb forum, the smart scroll function is not available when installed in devices running TouchFlow ROM. I wanted to try it but it's not even available in the options (even if you select it during instalation). they say that it's not compatible even if you disable the TouchFlow in the device.
Can anyone point me to other frontents for Windows Mobile like for example
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshel
PointUI Home was another one that I tried on my previous WinMob phone, it's very responsive and smooth but it's not the most attractive front end in the world. Also, not being able to see the clock and upcoming appointments at the same time got right on my tits. To be honest I've yet to come across a front end with a Today style screen that shows everything the default WinMob one does (i.e. date/time, tasks, appointments and count of unread emails/messages) which annoys the hell out of me, I don't understand how these various companies have spent time writing front ends intended to replace WinMob yet can't give us a Today screen that even has the functionality of the default one. Is it really that hard to do?
thanks, i tried and installes 1.51a of it, but nothing happens, still standard winmob frontend... how must i intall it properly?

If it's installed properly you should now have an entry for it in your Programs list, you can just launch it from there like any other application and I think it then remains resident.
On a related note I found this Wizbar app that seems to allow the customisation of WinMob though I haven't tried this one out. There are some themes for it here.
I'm very happy with SPB software though obviously it's quite expensive to buy. I think it has a free trial.
SPB pocket plus is a genius bit of software because it allows you to quickly select from up to 7 today screens each containing various today plugins and shortcuts. You get up to 6 tabs plus your regular today screen (when the tabs are set to auto-hide).
Other today plugins I'm using are Pocket Player, DevState 1.5 (as a task manager) and SPB Time, Diary, Weather and Mobile Suite (another great program). (Not cheap )
Here are some screens - the photo is a holiday shot from Turkey:
there is also vito winterface which is iphone clone...quite nice but nothing new. i still with manila
I have searched and searched, so far all that have the same issue as myself have not had an answer that works. I am bringing this to a new thread, in the hopes it will trigger some ideas on how to fix this.
I do know how to use the search system. I am usually a lurker, having the Diamond (NOT Pro) for a little over a week.
I have tried a number of different things to try to STOP the screen from waking up on a new text message. I have tried everything except the older version 3.2.. of the advanced config utility (I am reluctant to downgrade to older version as I have changed many things and have noticed that if you switch from one config utility from another will not work the same way, example is with TF3dconfig I removed the weather tab and forgot to reset all when I uninstalled it for the 3.3 version of advanced config. I try to re-activate the weather tab in 3.3 and it will not take-alas, another issue for another day). I have a Sprint version of the diamond. The DisableSMSWakeUpEvent does not work on my sprint diamond. It does not show up in the registry and when I create it, it still does nothing. This seems like such a silly thing to not have the option of adjusting in the oem configuration. The Pro has it, why not the non-pro version.
Many thanks for anyone that has a suggestion on how to get this screen to STAY OFF when a text comes in. Perhaps even a lock on incoming text that will be unlocked by the light sensor.
I have also discovered that TF3D does not like gsensor rotation. I wanted the text message to be landscape. Tried Gyrator 2, could not get it to reliably not rotate when a call is active. Tried changescreen, great easy to use, but TF3D overrides this. It works the first time or two, then the TF3D changes it to portrait. I did find that adding a rotate command to a registry entry (found in the forum) then assigned the 'green' phone button long hold to rotate. Works well and is easy as sometimes I do not want it to rotate.
Sorry for the run on, many thanks in advance for the help and insight.

Next? -->HTC Diamond Pro (I am not missing keyboard as much as I thought I would with TF3D)
HTC Diamond (WM6.1)
HTC Touch (WM6.1 ack! lasted a week)
HTC PPC6800 Mogul (WM6 upgraded WM6.1)
HTC PPC6700 (WM5)
Samsung I600 (WM 4?) (Flip phone)
Kyocera QCP-7035 (Palm) (Flip phone color)
Kyocera QCP-6035 (Palm) (Pseudo flip, greyscale)
A bump to see if anyone has a solution, many thanks for taking a look.
Lets see where I should start. Well first this would not be my first windows mobile phone.. In the past year I have went from iphone>Sony Ericsson P1i>Palm Treo Pro>Sony Ericsson X1a>HTC Dream (Anroid G1)> Touch Diamond. I've always wanted the Touch Diamond when it first came, but i was scared to get it. As you can see all my previous devices have had a keyboard. The G1 has a lot of nice apps, friendly gui and very touch sensitive but it has no 3g for me since im in USA with ATT. As for the phone i am using right now the X1. I really like it alot but there are not too many developers out there cooking roms. I would like to give the touch diamond a try..
For those of you out there that do a lot of texting/Emailing/Im'ing please let me know what your experiences are like.
I have a question about the batt life. one of my main concern. Every phone i have had would last me about 2/4 to 3/4 of the day. I would have to charge the phone every chance i get. Do any of you guys use any im programs such as parlingo or im+?
What is the best im program out there for the phone? (i use to use agile messenger as i thought was one of the best. not sure if it would work on this device)
I would like to hear any x1 and touch diamond owners insights. (I would like to know how your browser experience is like with the 2 different device. *really important to me* I like how the iphone is really sensitive in scrolling and clicking of links. Is the touch diamond anything like that?)
I do kind of look forward to the accelerometer as the x1 does not have this feature.

No, it is not.
humm maybe i should wait for another device..
This guy has no clue what he is speaking about...
Palringo works very well on the phone.
With the correct ROM it's extremely quick, great battery life.
With all that being said, you're on ATT. Get the Fuze(touch pro). Has hardware keyboard, and a bit wider. Same software as HTC Diamond, same amount of ROMs(if not more). Plus, US 3G support.
I have diamond, used to have Kaiser.
made the switch because was using touchpal as default sip for texting emails ext. realized i barely ever slid out keyboard (unless someone else was going to use it)
so i would say try touchpal on one of your existing WM devices see if you can use it for more than a day without reverting to your slide out keyboard, maybe look into some other sips out there if you have something you like.
if you find you can't live without the hardware keyboard > Go for the touch pro
if you find maybe software is good enouph > Go diamond
Touchpal here : http://www.cootek.com/download.aspx
Browser is good (its opera 9.5 you can probably download it on another device and test it as well), its capatible with flash light so you can use it for flash content pages it isn't as fast or as smooth as iphone but it is REALLY close, has upto 3 tabs and the main benef is you get a full download manager so you can save whatever you want (eg. cab files from xda )
battery is decent, i usually get a day out of it but thats because i use it as a gameboy among other things. extended batteries are available ranging in from $7 - $80US but can take the diamond upto 3000mah
and finally with some quick tweaking you can get the screen sensetivity up (still won't be as good as iphone tho) and with TouchResponse you can enable hepatic feedback (vibrate on touch)
sweet thanks a lot for the mini review. i think i will try it on my x1 and see how that goes.
I've spent the last week or so trying out ROMs and finding great stuff on this site for my Kaiser. Absolutely great community - you're the reason I got my Kaiser in the first place a year ago or whenever it was. I'm currently running Shifu's WM6.1 ROM and love it. I'm going to have to add wolfenstien and warcraft later .
The one (only?) thing that I miss from the non-TouchFlow2D/M2D UI for WM6.1 is the multiple appointment list on the today screen. I use my phone for work and the calendar is really important for me.
I added a softkey association with the calendar on my today screen with M2DC (helps!) but I'd love to have a view of all my appointments (today timeout based) on the today screen (under the clock or remove the clock or whatever) and have a list or today view as a widget on a tab.
Anyone seen anything to help with this? Maybe there's a TouchFlow2D/M2D today screen customizer that would help or something. I'll keep searching around but thought I'd ask.
