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
hopefully this tutorial will help fpsece be more fun/playable for everyone.
UPDATE: FPSEce configuration-imo this is one of the best set ups for the wing, but see what you come up with. a little tricky but here goes.
1ST to do this i utilize htc home and battery status plugins. i have been playing this emu overclocked to 299 mhz for periods of up to 2hrs. i do not condone this behavior! and don't even suggest it! but, you get the best gameplay out of the emu.
2ND, make sure all running apps are closed except fpsece,with your device in regular portrait mode with htc home on your today screen, open the keyboard on your wing, go to your programs tab on htc home and press the portrait to landscape flip button. if you you do not have that one activated take a sec and swap it out with one of the other buttons it should be worth it. after this your screen will look funny cause your keyboard is out and your screen has flipped back to portrait orientation.perfect!
3RD, navigate to fpsece and open. go to options/misc/display/landscape left.
4Th, go back into options and choose the joypad/assign buttons. now turn the device so you are looking at the keyboard normally. these are my keymaps but feel free to do your own! PAGE UP-TRIANGLE PAGE DOWN-X ARROW LEFT-SQUQRE ARROW RIGHT-CIRCLE A-LEFT S-UP D-RIGHT Z-DOWN Q-L1 W-L2 O-R1 P-R2 START-SPACEBAR SELECT-TAB MENU- CENTER OF DIRECTIONAL PAD on the screen portion of the wing. finally hit ok!
5TH hit the start tab, then iso and finally navigate to your game WHICH SHOULD BE IN ISOS FOLDER ON YOUR STORAGE CARD. this way you can keep many games on your storage card!
pocket iso guide- http://pdai.org/michu/fpsece/ldrguide.html
this will get your game file sizes way down and your memory card less cramped as well as more games will be compatible with fpsece.

my settings are on usa...recompiler...arm v5...GDI...fast boot...but these may or may not be the best. i am still learning the ideal options myself. i think vga is supposed to be the best/fastest but it depends on the type of device. also i know on some games, gran turismo for example,that adjusting the frame skip number does help speed the game. example: if you are getting5 fps set to 1 on options this will bump it up closer to ten. if you have 12 fps bump up to 2 this may get you closer to 20 fps and so on.
I am trying to install FPSEce on my Herald.

Setup your controller settings. Bind a key to "menu." Then press that key during gameplay, tap options, then adjust the frames from there.
Ok, i have a HTC Heremes, but i thought i'd just ask here, instead of opening a new thread in Hermes section. I get stuck at FPSece screen, no matter how i set up the options, nothing happens. I loaded ps1 bios. And i'm trying to find a tutorial or guide, but can't find any, all of them are mostly about ripping. Any ideas?
try reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369855&page=8 . also try the link in my sig!
Yea i got a question or 2.
All the ps1 ios' are like 25mb +
How am i susposed to put them on the phone since the phone dont have that much memory, and i cant reach my memorycard through activsync,
also i have dialup *errgg* and downloading iso' that big is a little impossible for my internet connection, is there a site to find iso's 25mb and smaller?
OK, I downloaded the software to play the games but I don't know where to get the games from. People have said they would be around 25mb, but I can only find ones for 350mb+. Please help. I have a Touch Pro 2
Wow, way to raise a thread from the bottom of the sea there...and about a completely different device too boot. Anyways, the games are not going to be 25MB, if they are then they are either demos or homebrew stuff. Most PSX ISOs are AT LEAST 350MB, but can go as large as a CD, IE 680MB or so. You can try to compress these down using that tool in the first post, albeit you will have to search around for it since the original creators website is not around anymore.
Ok, I've spent forever and a day looking this stuff up....so I have everything I need. Now if someone could walk we through getting my isos's to show up in the isos file that would be great! Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Did you actually download the ISO's? And if you did, you make an ISO folder on your storage card and then transfer the ISO to it.
forgive me if this post is in the wrong section - i'm new to this forum
i've got a problem with my htc p4350 (herald) when using fpsece
i can start fpsece, but when i try to load a .iso file, the screen turns black for about 10 seconds, and after that it just returns to the home screen
i cannot reach any options screen or etc.
i got the right bios copied and trued 3 different files to load
maybe these are just the wrong files?
(in that case, which files should i try, and where can i get these?)
thanx in advance

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.
Ok, so I have been around here a couple months silently eating up all the great info posted on this site. I have flashed my fair share of custom ROMs and have found one that I am comfortable with. So now I need to load up my TP with the best "goodies" I can find. Sure I can email, text, surf, dial...but I need MORE! Looking for cool apps that will help me get my moneys worth out of the device (and amaze my jealous friends). A couple fun ones that I have found include security apps, torch , sms bombers, shazam etc.. Any suggestions, .cabs and/or links for cool/fun apps would be greatly appreciated. Paid or freeware.
Sorry if this has been posted and I am sure there are individual threads for these apps but my patience is limited to 20 pages of forum digging and custom search phrases. I did find many "must have apps" threads but all seem to be for the android.
This would be good for me since I am a new Raphael user too.
Specifically if there is an alternative email client app that uses a different UI than the standard Outlook, meaning not ProfiMail or FlexMail
you can't go wrong with hdWobble, serach it
Warcraft 2 will make you the centre of attention.
Seriously look for it. It looks great and unlike many of the other 'impressive' ports, it is really fun and playable! I find fps games are a pain to conrol on this type of device.
Diamond hologram is really cool to. It uses the accelerometer to do a 3d effect on the screen.
Search these things up
The last couple of days I have been playing with PockeTwit. Cool little app. to play on Twitter.
Any emulator. especially the FPSECE playstation emulator, maybe mID, google maps?? WMwifirouter so they can use their ipod touchs to surf the web off your phone, youtube player,htorchflashlight...too many to name really.

SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Mobile Shell is so great!! you should show this to ur friends: especially the contacts carousel!!
anotherone is ShootME v2.5 thats one of my favs, i love when iphone owners show me the shotgun app they have then i whip out my uzi haha, and i actually had one of my friends freaked out with the hair clippers one. it really sounds and feels like you are getting a chunk of hair cut off haha
SPB Mobile Shell 3 and Kinoma Play are my two favorite apps.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention emulators like this one and PicoDrive works well for me to emulate Genesis ROMs. I played several games all the way through, ppl go nuts over Sonic, etc. So many great games on the system.
Many emulators I find work well enough to show off, but when it comes to quality of play they are limited. For example, without mapping of keyboard, using an "on screen" controller paddle, you are unable to simultaneously hit 2 "buttons" at once, due to the limitations of the resistive touch screen (no multi-touch). So for Mario turning mid-jump, forget it. To have the keyboard slid open while playing these emulators typically results in terrible performance, only a few ppl with a select combination of settings and ROM and d3d drivers managed to make it run reasonably with keyboard open.
im sorry mate but whoever told you that resistive screens dont support multitouch lied to you in the face.
there is multitouch out ther it just is in proper use by every one , take a look at fuzemobility and search there . there is an article on it along with a playstation controler completely mapped out to use multitouches ,no lie ! . the idea behind it is when you touch two places the place the exact same distance from both of them is registered, so with good placement and good mapping its possible :]
Slide to unlock has to be the best app for this phone hands Down..
I cant stand the basic winmoble unlock feature this one gives you the iphone slide to unlock so far works great for me..
S2U2
http://www.ac-s2.com/
go to right side, it also has a link to the latest xda thread
Personally I like the netflix account one along with the getsportz. I have also played with WebTV and a few bartending apps. I would also like to mention RSSHub and BeejiveIM as nice apps... I dont use facebook but there are a lot of social netowkring apps to show off if you do use them.
As for showing off... I personally like TF3D2... with the people tab and the stock tab!!! Apple has nothing on us with those two tabs.
And if you liek games there a thread with a super and mega pack of games that you can get and it will install a ton fo games to play with.

Impressive doesnt always mean eye-candy....
Have them bring along their laptops and whip out WMWifiRouter.
People are always impressed when I whip out iGo with TTS enabled.
Skyfire with MS Silverlight 2 support is pretty friggin awesome considering it has (and is) taking linux programmers months to get going on their systems.
MS Voice command is another...tell your phone to play music by tracks and artists and have it read aloud text messages. Not availible on the iphone until just recently I believe.
Any capacitive programs (touchlockpro and how you can program a personal "touch" combination to unlock your phone also gscroll
Incallrecording...
Software that will text you with the SIM card information and exact (by GPS) location of your phone in the event it is stolen and another sim card is placed in it..
The list goes on and on...but the best thing I like is that it makes calls!! I say WOW everytime it rings!!!

I've explained it before, but that's NOT multitouch.
Hello everyone!
Just wanted to introduce myself. Just got my first Windows Mobile phone a few weeks ago. I went with Verizon's HTC Ozone, as it was free and fit my budget perfectly.
Haven't had a whole lot of time to troubleshoot alternatives and solutions to some of my problems, figured I'd list them out in here as I browse the fourms for the answers. If anyone knows the fix for any of this off hand please let me know!
My device is running Windows Mobile 6.5. I understand the memory management on this device does not automatically close programs. This is cool for things like webpages and such that I'd like to multitask on. But when I want to close out of a page making noise, or application producing noise in the background going through all programs -) task manager -) end task can be an inconvience. Is there anyway to close programs via a short cut?
And is there any sort of alt+tab like feature to browse between programs in the memory so I don't have to explore to them to re-up the window?
Also, I've been trying to get morphgear to work as a GBA emulator. It installs and opens but I have 0 control after that. I can open a settings menu but I can't save the changes and if I hit a txt box I am stuck.
Sorry if these are noob questions, I'd look them up myself if I had the time. But I look forward to learning from these fourms and hopefully contributing in some way myself.
Thanks!
