I am pretty sure that everyone has thrown the idea of porting WebOS over from the Palm Pre to our Android Devices is out of the question. But does anyone think that they could build an alternative home application that would function like the Palm Pre's home with cards and such? Just an idea.
EDIT: Sorry, just noticed that there an actual thread you are supposed to post your ideas in. If you want to delete this and move it be my guest I didn't mean to post in the wrong area. Although I doubt anyone will actually find this in that thread.

Well i have lurked for a while but finally posted as i am really struggling. I have a orange branded kaiser tilt, i have installed,Home Customizer and swapped the clock but everything else is still above me,there a couple of things id like help with if anyone can preferably free as i am kinda skint after buying my kaiser >< ? Listed below many thanks:
On the main kaiser screen i have got contacts and calendar i want to get rid of calendar and swap it for something else is this possible ? .
A good wifi app that will show me unsecured hot spots that i can jump onto when out and about ? Just installed WIFIFOFUM2 but it doesn't allow you to connect the the hot spots ?
A method of swapping the kaiser menu so that the 4 square thing were you can put your fav contacts to something else or make it so when i click it it brings up the text or call thing instead of just ringing them ?.
And anyone got any other suggestions of apps i should install ? id like to totally customize my home screen but i am really not sure on how to do it ?
I know most of these questions have probably been asked before but i struggled to find them in search so any help appreciated many thanks
You have got to be kidding! Everything you asked has been repeatedly asked and answered. Why do some many of you people think you have just asked the most original, brilliant question. Search some more. Read and be educated. Stop being such a lazy a$$.
I fully understand your anger but its what to put into the search box to bring up the result i am after that is what i am having difficulties with anyone care to enlighten me ?
I'm not angry at all. Just perplexed at the lazy people who come on the forum and ask the same questions over and over again.
Use the link in my signature, below. It is a better way to search the site. Then get creative in your search terms.
For example, if you want to know about changing the calendar then type in terms like- replace calendar bottom of screen- and you will get this, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=replace+calendar+bottom+of+screen&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
Try that a little and I am sure will get the knack for it.
Of course, please read the stickies and the Wikis.

1. Schaps advanced config<< look in the link in my sig.
2. wififofum << put that in your search and you'll find it.
The new iPhone is out and I think it might be a perfect fit for you. Then, you can go to an iPhone forum and post interesting questions!
Or, you can keep your phone and learn how it works by reading and playing with it???
The only thing I can suggest that you install on it is a search application. MSN and Google make one that is easy to install and you can find the Google App here:

anyone know how to get the live search, search function on the htc home screen for the tilt? i have live search(the newest update) and don't see an option for it. thx.
Wouldn't that be in Start-Settings-Personal-Today-Items Tab?
Please see my sig.
nope, doesn't show up there, already looked. and regardless of your sig, it's a message board, i'll post what ever i want.
Yeah, I was going from memory. Sorry about that. Actually I am correct but the program has to be installed in a specific way.
In spite of you posting whatever you want, some day you may post something that someone objects to a lot more than I would. Then you may not be posting at all. My sig is to remind people to always search first.
Now, if you do a Google search you will find the answer to your question. Or you could sit on your a$$ and wait for someone to eventually, maybe, answer your question for you. But don't hold your breath.
I've searched the internet and a few forums and couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. At first I started using the Note application in WM6 and quickly decided I wanted something better. The Task app works decent too, but there is something weird about it to me. Maybe I'm just being picky. I kind of the like the Checklist Tree app found here. The interface is kind of old and outdated looking as well as doesn't really display properly. When you scroll down, it doesn't quite display everything. Also adding to the list seems more cumbersome than necessary. The main feature I would like it a way to delete all checked off items. Another really annoying part of this program is that it does not autosave. You have to save everytime before you close it or you lose everything. There isn't even a reminder to save before you close. I do really like the hierarchy layout though. Sorry to complain so much and I'm sure I'm being picky, but does anyone else know of anything and what do you guys use. Thanks!!
really? no one??
What about this one?.

Not sure if this is the right section but it seems like something that a developer would probably know..
I'm trying to make a shortcut straight to the "Switch Now!" Function in wallswitch. So that as soon as I cick it, it'll just switch my wallpaper. So I don't really want a shortcut but an action. In bettercut and I think anycut too, there's an option to make my own short cut and it ask for
Action
Data
Type
I heard somewhere you put some type of intent for action or something, but everywhere I searched nobody truely knew how to do it. I know you guys know pretty much everything about android so I'm hoping you can help
Ps. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section
Your best bet is to contact the developer.
Will only specific apps run on android? Its just my mate wants to get Freecaddie on his Hero, and I have it on my Touch HD. I have checked on the website but not sure whether to try and put the winmo cab on and run that or will it mess the phone up... any help greatly appreciated..
I'm not a programmer so I could be completely wrong, but I don't think that will work. That's like trying to run a Windows program on a Linux machine - unless the developers specifically made a Linux version it just won't work. Probably the best thing for your friend to do is look around on the market for that application or a similar one.
(And before a Linux defender comes to correct me - yes, I know you can get windows emulators that run in Linux, but I'm not aware of those existing for phones.)
Ia m may get flamed here, but i am sure , a windows moblie app will not run on a linux based os, unless some one has made W.I.N.E (linux geeks like myself will understand) for andriod then No sorry !!

Not just like, that's exactly the case here
@Milesjasjar
It won't work. As another poster mentioned though, search the market. I've found apps to do most things (apart from a really good calendar app!!!)
P.S. Good luck for Saturday, hope the Saints do it. It's about time.

If what you don't like with the HTC calendar is that it displays all events on the monthly view in exactly the same way, you can try the Pure Calendar widgets (dev's website here). The 'Grid' one displays a coloured bar at the top of each day in a monthly view, its length representing how long the appointment is and the colour which calendar it's part of. It loads data from Outlook and Google calendars without trouble. The dev also makes an agenda style widget, but I haven't used it. Unfortunately you have to pay about £1 for either.
Hi,
Thanks I'm already using Pure Calendar and have the Grid too. I agree it's the best available at the mo but having just moved over from WinMo I'm waiting for someone to release a major app like Pocket Informant. Unfortunately developers seem wary as they are not sure people will be willing to pay £20 for an Android app (although I would be if it's good enough!)

Cheers for the responses guys.. at least I know what to expect when i get my own hero... I keep looking but still not ready to make the jump, guess I am far to comfortable with the Winmo UI. But the gap is closing on the usability.. as long as i can import everything from outlook, and find a free golf program then i might make the jump sooner..
