When using PointUI, the app minimized and you are returned to the Today screen when hitting the End Button/Red Button. Is there anyway to disable this from happening? Meaning, is there a way to never be able to go back to the Today screen? Unless of course you go to "Close Home".
Thanks in advance.

I myself have been trying to find a way to completely replace the Today screen with PointUI, but without any success. So I ended up throwing together this little piece of software.
It is called GetPointUI and is basically a Today plugin, which acts similar to the SPBWatcher plugin. If PointUI is not running, it will start it, and if PointUI is running, it will activate it as soon as the Today screen becomes visible. To deactivate GetPointUI, simply uncheck the plugin in the Today settings.
Now, mind you, I have only tested this application on my XV6800 (and it is working perfectly) with PointUI installed in the default location. I do not have S2U and/or any other launchers/Today replacements installed, so GetPointUI might interact with those in an undesired way. If you should have PointUI installed in a non-default location, GetPointUI SHOULD be able to detect that and find the correct path, but this has not been tested. The same goes for new versions of PointUI that might be released in the future. GetPointUI SHOULD always bring up the latest version, but again, that is pure theory. I am curious myself...
Installation: Just install the attached CAB and soft-reset your device.
NOTE: I will NOT be responsible for any damage on your device or any data loss you may incur. You are using this software at your OWN risk.
Unfortunately, that CAB file you posted won't install. No error, just "Unsuccessful"
here this may have fixed it
Perfect. Thanks guys. Since the time of posting (January), pointui has created a feature where you can choose to replace the Task Bar/Start Bar with the pointui task bar. Touching this "pointui task bar" takes you back to the home screen and at another location on the bar it gives you the "Running Applications"
Thanks again guys. Much appreciated.

Still not working for me. Any suggestions?
getpointui not tinstalling
Yeah i get it to ask where to install, i choose device and then it gives me an installation unsuccessful message. I am using an xv6800 on verizon with wm6.1
hello,
i tried this .cab on PPC 2000SE - it installs - but nothing happens
- no new plugin
- going to today (and stay there) is still possible.
is there a way to make this work on 2003SE ?
thank you!

I have an HTC S640 with Windows Mobile 6, I get the same error...will not install. Without this app, PointUI although very slick, without it beeing able to work like this its just eye candy....
If anyone has this working, please POST!!!!!
i know this is off the topic, but does anyone know if POINTUI is still in production for a new release?
it is true there are bugs in pointui, but free is free.. for the most part, POINTUI is a excellent all in one interface, simple, basic and fast...

ICP-Touch is almost ready for release, but there is just one last issue:
Applications don't end when I click the 'X' button!
I keep having to go into the task manager and manually end them.
Other then that it's pretty smooth (after 6 bug ridden builds). It uses the Silk Blue theme I donated to the JustClean kitchen, a custom BatteryStatus theme for the clock, and UltimateLauncher (trial version) to handle the lower half of the today screen.
I just need to fix the 'X' button issue and it will be released.
Anyone have a solution?
EDIT: Actually I have one more question. Does anyone have a (working) OEM pack for Advanced Config 2.1. Nothing I found (or generated) works.

Did you include Taskmanager? Because using Batterystatus Taskman should do the trick for x-button wirking even without any fix....
Or try to make an OEM out of the x-buttonworking.cab from Itjes ROMs.
bte - your ROM sound like mine... hehe. The UL part...

I sort of borrowed a few OEM packs from JustClean. I used 'HTC Task Manager 2.0.30487.1', which seems to be working with the exception of the 'X' button issue. I tried the task manager from BS, but I still cannot close out the apps.
EDIT: It's actually very similar to yours with the exception of the MMS counter.
is this a 6.1 rom? and is it gon be a full version?

1) Yes
2) The list of included apps will be available when I release
im looking forward to this
Does it just minimize the app? Do you have the BatteryStatus task manager off? The TaskManager in my kitchen, by default, is set to press and hold to close a program and not to press only to close a program.
Glad to hear your release is so close.

That explains it, I used the task manager from your kitchen. I found a couple more issues this morning. Should have a stable release in the next few days.
Now I'm really stuck
I got the 'X' button working, now I can't get any of the buttons to work (power, send, end, ok, camera, etc.). The comm manager also stopped working (settings not found). The weirdest thing is, the buttons worked yesterday, but the comm manager hasn't worked since last week.
The rgu file for the comm manager isn't getting applied for some reason. It begins working as soon as I manually import the rgu from the OEM pack.
I can't figure out what is going on with the buttons, the only thing I changed was the task manager setting for the 'X' button.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Are you a fan of ICP?
Hi.
I was wondering if the current Diamond owners already tried to run battery status extended to overclock the 528mhz cpu to a higher speed (let's say 600mhz)? And if so, what are the experiences till now.
Kind Regards,
TheWizard
I've tried it but it doesn't work. I believe the qualcomm proc isn't an OMAP proc, so you can't overclock it using batterystatus. It does show other stats though, but the main use of batterystatus is not available here.
xzces, sounds like you only tried the "free" version, not the "advcanced" one?
i tried to install this software (cab and desktop setup) but it does not work for me: installing the advanced version, the program does not show under "programs", but very well under "remove programs". so i can not start but only remove it.
trying the normal version, i am able to start the program, but after it says that it first has to active itself, nothing happened, so i deleted this one, too.
curiously, the task manager shows up under "programs" on both versions but does not start, too.
either this software cannot run (till now) on a touch diamond or i am too stupid to get it running (perhaps the tool "advanced config" or the settings i made with it causes the problem).

i have it on my diamond and working fine in the background. the CPU speed it shows is wrong (320). i should like to have it in htcflow, i miss looking at the CPU gauge and waiting for some heavy process or even the boot to finish.
there a lot of today plugins battery status ike but none with the CPU gauge.

Thank you! I've tried it but nothing happen.
Seems a hoax
528 Mhz with so many light roms here make your Diamond a racer compared to other Pocket PC devices. Don't be greedy, the speed is faar better really! If you still wanna move ahead, read overclocking guide (little outdated though).

Is there not a jar file for overclocking to download directly to my htc touch that will actually work? Just curious..
First impression, EXTREMELY bad fingerprint magnet. I was expecting it to be like D810's fingerprint problem, but its much muh worse. However, the back cover seems to be a different kinda plastic glossy coating than D810, so i expect no peeling problems here.
Start up screen, after it install all necessary sys cabs, there's actually a short demo (video) on how to use the Touch interface. The old Touch didnt have that, justin writing in a manual..
The glass screen feels....like got some static attraction, so its totally not fun to scroll around with the finger. Well see how it is after putting on the screen protector
EDITED: Added Screenprotector, Touch feel is now MUCH better. Screenprotector is also of high quality. (thick and solid)
UPDATE on ICONS: Some games i insalled like Hexic and Warcraft 2, the icons in the start menu is totally screwed up, like, can see the shape of the icon, but not wat the icon is. It looks black and has strange lines. But not all games like this. Only some. I'm trying to figure out why. They're all meant for VGA. Hmm
Running the game once and performing a soft reset solves this problem.
UPDATE on TOUCH FLO 3D LAG: I've tried to mess around with Touch FLo 3D, see how much stress it can take. Handling it normally, placing my thumb at the bottom and moving it left to right, selecting what it want, and returning to the home screen, no problem at all. Now as you know besides sliding your thumb around, u can just CLICK it and what you want will appear. Example you're at TODAY screen, i click messages instead of susah go slide from TODAY to MESSAGES. Slight lag occurs when i do this (a tenth of a second? Probably loading time not really a "lag"). Now i tried ABUSING the system = Click on on messages, before messages load, i click Today, click Music, click Programs, click Internet, Click click click click. Basically i'm not letting ANYTHING load, just spamming clicks. A definite lag before what i last clicked finally appears on my screen (about 1- 1.5 seconds). Which is impressive, considering how i abused it like crazy. LOL. I honestly expected it to hang.
UPDATE ON MAPKING 2007: I have just tested it, and Mapking users will be glad to know that it supports the VGA screen on HTC Diamond, and GPS works flawlessly, despite worries that eGPS since its new, may not be recognized by Mapking
UPDATE ON CALL OF DUTY: Works absolutely awesome, NOT using minimal settings, i was able to play pretty well. NOTE: Tytn2 and Touch Cruise was NOT able to play due to heavy lag even with minimal settings. Game was perfectly fine, with except with just a small little, not lag, but looks like the rendering was a bit slow as i looked around, when i used hardkeys and stylus at the same time. NOTE: ALL pdas lag in gaming when using hardkeys and joystick at the same time. However, it was minimal, and call of duty was enjoyable to say the least. SO yes, it DOES have graphic accelerators. Proper benchmarks will be done when i have proper time.
UPDATE. SPB benchmark seems to hang. cant run it. hangs at testing word document.
UPDATE on Touch Flo 3D part 2: Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...42&d=1202399126, thanks to schap, and customize File system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072. This gives drastic improvements in Touch Flo 3D.
UPDATE ON BATTERY REVIEW : I did this test, based on what a student (like me) would probably use. More sms than calls. Here's a rough estimate.
TOTAL HOURS BEFORE KONKING OUT TOTALLY = approximately 9 hours, give or take
TOTAL SMS-ES = 120
TOTAL TALK TIME = approximately 15-20 mins
TOTAL LIGHT GAMING TIME (Hexic) = 45 mins.
Its actually pretty impressive.
My verdict is that with backlight on "auto adjust" and with the dimlight dimming within seconds after not being used, there is a HUGE amount of power saving from running the VGA screen. Also, it could be possible that with its graphic accelerators, gaming also consumed less power than usual.
My Touch Cruise same amount of usage above lasted 11-12 hours
IMPORTANT UPDATE (regarding black icons): It appears that the cause of our ugly black icons is not our VGA screen, but Touch Flo 3D itself. Looks like its a bit buggy. So we'll have to wait for a proper rom update regarding it (or perhaps someone can come up with a registry fix). Don't believe me? switch off your Touch Flo 3D, and soft reset your PDA. All icons should turn back to normal. Also, with Touch Flo 3D off, you can expect better battery life, as well as a significant increase in speed for your pda.
UPDATE HTC Touch FLO 3D, another bug: There appears to be memory leak issues with Touch Flo 3D. The longer u use the less ram u'll appear to have. Will have to wait for rom update to fix all these bugs
My Blog : http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2008/06/htc-touch-diamond-user-review.html
IMPORTANT UPDATE (bluetooth stack problem): It appears that after using Bluetooth A2dp, your pda will have "vibration non stop" as well as phone totally mute problems. This is reported by other members in XDA. I'll run a check up on the latest 1.37 rom and see if this is fixed, as well as other issues. Stay tuned.
UPDATE ON ROM 1.37.707.1
Rom 1.37.707.1
BLACK ICONS PROBLEM: Unresolved <------- WTF MAN HTC!!
Bluetooth stack/mute problem : Pending testing
Memory Leak Issues: APPEARS SOLVED (doesnt go above 57% here, last time 70+%)
random problem where sms tone does not ring, but only rings when u wake up your phone, despite receiving it long before SOLVED. But device is still set not to wake up at incoming sms by default.
gimme 24 hours to test bluetooth stack/ sudden mute problem and memory leak issues
kudos on one of the few informative posts i have read on this new forum for touch diamond...
Nice summary.
Few questions.
1. COD - Can you please post your control settings here?
2. Do you know the actual registry change for changing the file system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072. I like to do this via registry. I couldnt find this info...
Thanks.

Nice summary Baronic, at least when i get my Diamond ill know what to look out for. Saying that, it could be that the UK spec Diamonds have been delayed because of these problems??. LAst i heard was that they were being held back because HTC wanted to apply a software update or something like that before they were released into the UK. Unless they are trying to stop us from hacking the phone ie cooked roms etc. I hope not or else i will be extremely angry as to why they would do such a thing.
@boinger, you're welcome
@Kraft, in COD there's a box to tick "low settings". I'm playing it with it unticked thats all. No other settings.
For reg edits, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265
@Spawn, I've no idea about UK sets, as i'm from Malaysia. However, here, we've just had a rom update yesterday, and i'll be flashing it tomorrow, and see if the main problem: Black icon and memory leak, has been solved.
I'll be updating my Blog, as well as here probably once i flash the new rom. I'll have to come up with a summary on the roms as well soon, which roms have the Touch Flo 3D problems. My blog is in my signature

You already have a ROM update, did you find that on the HTC website in the HTC e-club? I just checked out the Hong KONG HTC region site and it has no ROM updates.
A question: doesn't the screen protector blur the display and therefore ruin the hi res of the device?
@save ferris, no, HTC doesnt seem to have the rom update, i'm going directly to the distributer for the rom update. though owners who bought their Touch DIamond today/yesterday would already have that update.
@pedmomd, no it doesnt blur the screen at all. its a clear screen protector

maybe i did not understand the problem....but:
1. i put some music to play with my coreplayer and bt headphones.
2. after a few minutes i asked my little girl to call me from my home phone. the music stopped, i pushed the headphones button and was able to have a conversation.
3. hanged-up the call and the music start playing again.
4. repeated twice. everything OK!
is this the right experiment for your problem???
kukiriku, u must use HTC Player only to duplicate the problem
Can we have a dump of that latest rom plz ?

one more bug is
when using audio booster, after a while/charging or phone call, music played would be bassless.
Ways to fix it is to plug the headset in, disable audio booster, unplug and replug in the headset.
Hey guys, I know that I don't post a lot but I couldn't help but notice that no one has put up and overclock program for the kaiser. The Kaiser after installing the overclock program, everything ran smoother!!!!!
Instructions:
1. Run Dynamic Clock.cab and install to Device
2. GO to Start > Dynamic Clock
3. tap the screen to install Dynamic Clock
4. after you restart, Go to Settings>System
5.There should now be a new option "Processor"
6.first time running, there will be a warning message, tap yes
7. Feel free to change the options around
8. Try running programs and stuff after changing the settings, you should be able to notice the speed difference!
I use Max performance on both battery and external power and the MHz is on 384 MHZ and auto power. after system idle and all the stuff after, its 192.00MHz
I tried this but couldn't get it to do anything beyond tapping "yes". Any ideas?
oh yeah, HTC 8925 Tilt with factory rom, Kaiser Tweak, HTC Home Customizer.

The latest .NET CF should do the trick. When i was running the stocker rom it would not get going untill after i did that. The bad part is the phone ran warm.
Kaiser freezes and reboots every time I try to run it. Running compact framework 3.5.9198 on a 6.5 build 21897.
works fine&easy improved performance and baterylife THANKS!
thank you its works
cannot install net framework thanks
After restart device nothing happens!
Application again ask for restart device to fix installation error,and i did that but same error message?
What should i do?(my .net cf 3.5 works great with other apps.)
**** i needa try this for my old kaiser!
i tried this and it does make the phone a little bit more snappy for general use, but when running more processor intensive programs like GPS and the sorts it makes the phone very unstable and crashes....... it also does run a little bit warmer than usual.... not sure how safe this is to use over the long haul
How can i unistall it app correctly ?
any more reviews/thoughts on this?
