Shortcut of a panel? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, i just want to put a shortcut of some of my panels on the programs of my xperia, so i can go to facebook (for example) instead of changing panel
Thx !

/bump
no one knows how to do it?

There were launchers for RA1 Radio and Multimedia panel, made by Pubba.
AFAIK it was small EXE opening Panel DLL and calling some function, rather simple.
But they changed something in newer roms, it does not work anymore.
Also Pubba seems to be out of XDA.

pubba radio works on me fine ^^! but currently im searching sthing for Facebook panel ^^!

Hmm,than whats the point with panels?

well, there are panels that i like, for example CNN one and those things, coz i dont use them SO much but they are nice.
but for example for facebook, i use it SO much... and i dont like having to swap panels all the time, coz if i need to watch sthing while im posting at facebook i must swap panels and those things, and it becomes annoying ^^

The Facebook panel is quite different from the Facebook app. Different interface, different options, you can do some things in one that you can't do on the other. Even my front page gave different updates for the MS app and the X1 panel
Among the various Facebooks for WM/X1 I've tried, I still like m.facebook.com the best

Simple weather app (not for today screen) - like the iPhone?

Hey everyone,
I'm sick of trying to get the HTC Home weather thing to work. I've tried replacing DLL's, editing XML files, and installing a couple different versions. None seem to work so I'm moving away from this weather app.
I'm looking for a standalone app that will show me local weather along with a 5 or 7 day forecast. It would also be nice if I could store other city's to it as well so I can see the weather at different places.
I don't want a today screen plugin. I just want to be able to open this application, view the weather, and close it.
Anyone have a good program for that? Free or paid I don't care... I'm just looking for the best & most stable.
It isn't just a weather app, however SPB traveller when opened shows the cities you have specified with their weather, high and low temps for 4/5 days depending on the view you select.
It will show you their time and conversions to your local money.
It is likely to be a bit bloated for what you require, however it works exceptionally well and I haven't had any issues with it.

"Weather Watcher" is exactly what you are looking for. It will do multiple cities, current conditions, hourly, extended forecast, weather alerts, and a zoom-able radar of the city you have selected. You can set it to automatically update or update it manually. Best part is that it is free. You can get it here.

Thank you for the program. Seems to work pretty well. I had to make Opera NOT by default browser through... otherwise it wouldn't work. It basically loads IE into the program and you view webpages.
But... very cool. Thanks again

I'll check it out... but just from looking at the program it does seem a tad too bloated for what I'm looking for. But thank you
I liked Weather Watcher too, but it won't open HTML pages since Opera was my default.
I uninstalled Opera and it still wouldn't work. Did you have to change any settings?

With Opera installed I went into settings and made sure to un-check make opera the default browser.
After I did that it worked.
Another vote for Weather Watcher
Let me rephrase it: I couldn't get it to working using Opera Mini
try weather panel. in case you have the SP BMobile hsell, you can insert the program as one of the tabs. I love it. It's the best, and I've tried them all.
I use PocketWeather, very detailed.
ekhhhh...im really getting frustrated, none of these programs work with a proxy connection! does anybody know a weather program that works with a proxy connection? thanks

Well Weather Watcher is in deed free. I'm afraid to say you might have settings problems on your GPRS connection. I have Proxy and it worked perfectly for me. If you care to share our DevInfo, I'll see if I can help.
Hi there,
Where did you get Weatherpanel free, all the version I got asked for registration key and even if I put it in it still asked me for it again, like I never entered it. I'm using Pocket Weather now and its pretty good.(Not free though)
You can try this one. It's free and loaded to the gills w/ info. Including hourly.

PPC to iPhone

Friends,
Been messing around with the apps out there to convert the ppc to iPhone for fun.
I noticed in the settings, it brings up the six icons – weather, music, mail etc. How do I expand that section to include more icons? I know how to add but the background needs to be lengthened.
Is it possible to have more than one view? Example I have 30 applications on my ppc and like to create short-cuts to them. Can I have more then two or more screens for them?
Lastly, the effects of the applications closing, opening. I saw the one program and it didn’t seem to snazzy. Can you recommend any other effects programs?
Tvos
My dear friend, get ready for some " use the damn search button"
What apps out there ? different apps have different function and customization.
The best iphone emulator , I think, is ifonz.
If you just want the today screen of icons, UL do a better job. Integrate with some other apps from PCM's . A_C's ... you will have a upper than iphone interface.
You seem like to open thread for almost everything you want to know. This is not every welcome by hostile peeps here
Again , with the "Search" button , a functional "read" ability and time, you dont have to use " creat a new thread" .
Alberz,
Actually, I already have iFonz and the cool apps already installed. I should have phrased myself different.
Besides the common apps found in the ifonz setup, what else is out there that might have been missed? I did a lot of searching, customizing the phone to look like it and so far it's pretty slick..
Probably won't last a week and I'll revert back, but some of the apps like Pisel Browser and the toughflo is sweet.
Tvos
there is a thread in dev and hacking about the newest version of ifonz. You should go there and ask since peep over there is more interested in iphone UI and apps.
I just downloaded iFonz and it is a very cool app. I like it better then the other one I was working with, no disrespect to the author, did a great job but iFonz seems easier to setup. Still never a less, a lot of work just getting the phone to look like a iPhone..
thank you,
tvos

Text Message Software

I was curious if there was an alternative to the default text messaging software. The main reason I don't like it is that it is a little plain. So if you know of any it would be great if you could point me to it with a link or just give me a name. I have done some searching but could not find anything.
Thanks,
Bob Hoil
Hey, There is something that is similar, but a little bit nicer (has smileys, and stuff), but still a little plain looking. It's called Shogunmark? if i remember correctly :S
I really like Birdsoft's Extreme Text
This is not the actual company's website, it is down for some reason, but you can still download a trial from this site and even buy it from this site.
If you have pictures loaded for your contacts it shows them, and it also threads your sms and will even allow for hyperlinks to be clicked on. I only have WM6 and it works great for threading your conversations all without messing up your inbox or anything. All this program does is just reference your inbox and merely just groups your conversations by contact in nice looking app for you. You can install and uninstall without it messing up your messagin settings or losing any sms cuz its a stand alone program that just merely looks at your inbox and references it as I said before. Only downside is if someone sends a MMS, all you will see in the program is the message they sent with the pic/video. You woiuld then have to go into your actual message inbox to look at the pic/video.
try pocketcm
Extreme Text works well, looks good

I use Extreme Text also, and really like it. It looks nicer, and it types smoother - there is no lag in landscape mode from keypress to display, as there seems to be in the standard message app, in my experience. And it integrates fine with the standard message app - you can use them interchangeably.
Thanks for all of the posts and suggestions I will be sure to check them out. If anyone knows of anymore I can try out it would be great if you could post them.
Thanks,
Bob Hoil
Txt Msg software
You can also use iMov messenger....very convenient and simple
I like sms-Chat by Vito, But you have to have the most recent version, Version 1.10 has a bug and you can't see your text as you type in landscape... Version 1.15 should fix that bug..

Manila 2.5 - idea for a new tab

Hi everybody:
What if Manilla 2.5 (Manila 2.1 also) can have an extra tab just like the weather tab, to display horoscope and horoscope forcasts for upcoming days !
Just an idea?
Myspace, youtube, facebook, Beejive IM, something like that. :].
How about tasks, notes, system status and stuff like that? LOL
Ever since I saw the Twitter tab I always wished it was Facebook tab instead with the latest wall posts. Would be much more useful to me (and everybody I know) who just doesn't use or care about Twitter.

+1 Totally agree with you
I have been using the twitter tab as a simple rss feed app but can't get my internet connectivity to stabilize on TF2.5 roms, so gonna flash back to 2.1 and try pockettwit or something like that.
A facebook tab would be sick since the windows fb app blows. I just discovered the facebook sms function that lets you update your status and read comments using text messages. Someone should develop an app that creates TF3D tabs. Set url links, have widget-like functions, links to device system functions...
how about a seperate youtube tab? myspace and facebook would be koo too. try the horoscope with 3d animations let see how that goes.
+1 for Facebook tab
-1 for horoscope - superstitious nonsense!
Id really like to see a tab for Music videos within the selective music tabs. I know its kinda random but id like to c it done.
+1 For Facebook, Myspace, and RSS tabs.
would love to see a facebook tab to!!
Well we got the ideas, now who is working on them?
I haven't tried to code anything in a few years but with all the Facebook API being used I don't think it would be hard at all.

me too i would realy want to know how to add a tab or want to see some other Roms has something similar to this tab, it would be nice to see facebook, RSS Hub and even the messging/mail systems function like twitter tab. but it would be very good if they include "select All" "delete All" "go to the first post" "go to the last post" to the twitter tab

Well, I voted "No" because the Poll asked specifically about a Horoscope tab. Horoscope? Are you kidding?
If the Poll was about asking some other kind of tab, well, sure, maybe.
I think it would be great if there were more choices for tab-apps...but I wouldn't want more tabs. More tabs just means I have to scroll further, back or forth, to find what I want. I prefer the array of choices that the Programs tab has -- that way I can see 16 choices at once (on the Photon) without having to scroll around.
But that's just me.

[Q] bloody phone dialer

guys,
I'm a new comer here, having just flashed a few nand rom to my hd2, after having used WM for many years...
I quite like the idea of android, but there are 2 things that annoy me:
1. the sync to outlook for my contacts...
2. but most importanatly, the dialer. I'm used to typing the first letters of a contact, but here it seems i can only dial a number, otherwise i have to search manually for the contact... Is there an alternative dialer i can instal?
The dialler works the same way as on WinMo. For example if you're looking to call "Mike" just tap 6 then 4 then 5 then 3. The letters for Mike are on those keys. Get it?

That depends on the build. Stock Android ROMs don't have this.
There are, however, alternative diallers available in the market, so it's really not an issue. There's even one available on XDA that allows you to type names, as well as numbers....

I just went into the Android Apps & Games forum and searched for the word "dialer"

1. I use companion sync, it syncs to google -> to my phone
2. The only dialers that didn't work for me were the Nexus builds, all the ones based on the Desire ROM work like the old WM dialer

If those apps aren't turning up in your Market, install 'Market Enabler' and spoof your location to view and install apps.
If 'Market Enabler' doesn't show up... Google for the apk and side install it.
You wiull then be able to download 'any' app you like, regardless of whether you are meant to be able to download it or not.
Install "Dialer One" from the market.
There are heaps of dialers on the market. Being a long time Win user myself, i admit Phonex, Resco contact manager, etc were quite good as far as diallers go.
Im currently using aTakephone (market) which isnt bad, there is even Contapps which looks nice as Phonebook 2.0 which links to each contacts details like FB, history, SMS etc.
As for sync to outlook contacts, i use MyPhoneExplorer, syncs contacts, calendar and you can use it to SMS etc.
dialer one
totally agree about dialer, seems a great step backwards!
'Dialer one,' is the best!
search the market for it, then thank me
thanks guys.
I've dnld dialer one and it seems to be doing the job well
