Hello - Usually I don't post as I'm able to find what I want by doing some searching and using the WIKI. However with this particular problem I seem to be lost (possibly because there's so much information it's confusing )
I've got a Touch Diamond running SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 (I'll be adding the Sence theme later today).
I'm basically looking for a twitter program that is similar to peep or twitdroid for my Diamond. I'm looking for something that when I slide over to a new screen there's twitter, its updated, and allows me to tweet. I've used practically EVERY program out there for windows mobile. The thing I don't like is that they are programs that run in the background, that I have to maximize to see etc... I just want something like the Peep.
The point I'm getting to is: Is it possible to have peep (or similar) on my diamond at this point? All the posts about Sense/Droid/HTC are confusing me because I can't tell where in the process some of you geniuses are (I'm just a musician that follows well written directions not really a tech brain)
Thanks (Hope this was the right place for this post, if not I understand - please don't jump down my throat.)

so i got a t-mobile wing. my first smart phone. its amazing. anyways i have a few questions:
1. Where can i get a nice big digital clock today screen plugin? i see them on screen shots of peoples screens but i can't find any.
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
5. What is the best browser to use?
if you guys could help me that would be great. i have yet to find a forum about WM6 or the Wing that where people actually go to the site.
All of those and more are located within the forum in easy to find threads. The great thing about looking around the forum is you will find stuff out that you never even thought of. I would recommend reading and getting acquainted to the forums, its a much better way to learn than someone just linking you somewhere. And congrats on your new Wing.

this is HTC home plugin
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
HTC home plugin shows weather. if not try SPB Weather, SPB Traveler, SPB phone suite (the only ones I have experience with)
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
Go to Settings, Buttons to change the softkeys
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
In my opinion, no not really ... just be considerate of what you install on your phone and what executable files you run.
5. What is the best browser to use?
I haven't settled on one yet, but I use Mozilla's MINIMO and OPERA 8.X apart from IE.

Hope this helps
i guess my other post didn't show up? well every search results in HTC Home or TouchFlo.
i don't want all the stuff from HTC home, just the clock and simple weather, no tabs or any of that stuff. is there a way to have just the clock and/or weaher?
and thanks for your help
also, going to settings>buttons has no optinos for softkeys, only hardware keys.
opera mobile is a lot better, i like how you can scroll by dragging on the screen.
I do use Opera most of the time, I've just always been a big supporter of Mozilla stuff ... so I keep it around
I just wanted to give you a few options so you could try them out for yourself and see what you liked.
i havn't tried minimo because i heard it was slow and uses a lot of memory. is that true?

I cannot get it to work on the Kaiser, has anyone tried this yet?
Won't install for me either. Says it's not intended for this device.
I'm running v3.0 Sleuth. Could be it doesn't like WinMo 6.1, but I have no way to verify that unless I reflash.
I have a t-mobile Wing and it doesn't work either. I think it is because all the phones listed as supported are smartphones (without touch screen).
Anyone know a work-around install for touch screen based units?
Just look at the name of the file it installs: SP50.cab = SP= Smartphone.
I've adjusted the CAB a little to allow it to install on a Kaiser. But when installed it's not 100%.
It installs, you can run the MSNDirect.exe through File Explorer, but as the controls are geared towards SmartPhone, it's not all that usable
Perhaps someone with additional skills can tweak it.
Is it possible for someone to tweak the program to be more touch friendly?
I'm pretty bummed about this. I've had a SPOT watch for years and would really like to have it on my Kaiser.
I have a Dash sitting on a shelf at home, that my wife didn't want, but I really can't switch to a Dash for MSN Direct.
its work for me
samsung b7320
but no wethr for iran .......
sucks!!!
but rep+++
yhx
Wow I didn't even know this service was still around...I used to have one of the watches, they were pretty cool.
This does not pertain to Kaiser Rom Development. Please post questions like this in the Kaiser General section in the future.
Thank You
It would be very good to see an Installer based application for HTc Touch Diamond.
For people that do not know what Installer is, it is an application for the iPhone that downloads and installs other application on the phone.
And since the Diamond has WIFI I think it would be nice to have this kind of app.
So anyone what to make this kind of app?I will be happy to donate.
P.S Since it is a windows mobile phone it already has a million apps.
oh i would love the guy who make that happen.
Diamond + EvolutionRGB (iphone "game" you can get mith the installer) would be the last thing i need for my diamond. except getting tomtom worked
If I had some experience in writing application I would have tried to make it myself , but I have absolutely no experience
most sites offer a cab file which is relatively easy to install
the app would never work because it would require all developers to have the database in the app or accessable by the app
to unfeasable
the onyl reason iphone can do that is because apple controls everything and distributes via apple
so hence iphone can get them
not gonna happen on wm
You are probably right, I know its easy to install software on wm with cab files,but Im just saying that it would be great and easier
ya would be but
databasing would be nigh unmanagable... unless u get something like linux packet distro's
even so seems to be a lot of work for little effect
are u sure that there is no way to creat anithing similar to the installer.app?
a prog for wm just tu enter these "sources network". i thnink these iphone users calling the thing theyr doin "jailbreaking" and that doesn't sound very legal either.
pls can anyone tell me it is possible.....and if not then pls explain exatly why. so i can stop dreaming of it
thx in advance
Set up some kind of xda-repository (spelled right) just like I see on Linux communities ...
I will be in moscow in a mouth and a I know a few good developers there a might talk to them
Is AppToDate not along the lines of what you're looking for..? Or at least a starting point..?
Google it to find out more (is liked to the iPhone thingy) and take a look at:
http://www.modaco.com/content/apptodate/267096/download-apptodate-supported-applications/
Seems a good idea to me - although at the same time I can never imagine enough people signing up to it!
I recently purchased the HP IPAQ 211.
I know I have seen both Iphone and Touchflo based skins / mods on the internet, youtube, etc.
Where should I be going to research more about this process?
I have uploaded a program called Wisbar Advance and Wisbar desktop which alot of them apparently use, however would someone point me in the right direction to accomplish the task of getting a decent Iphone theme and also Touchflo interface if possible?
Also, anyone have a decent list of APPS for it?
My primary use will be photos of my kids, some music / movies, and basic business apps but nothing more than keeping business contacts probably.
Any help appreciated.
I apologize in advance for the newb question but alot of people mention XDA as the place for PDA mods, but my PDA isnt' listed in the phone list so I don't know if there is a site more directed towards my usage.
Again any help appreciated.

Unfortunately this forum is for HTC manufactured phones and yours is an HP. So there is no page for your phone. You can try some of the generic WM 6 apps here and see if they work on your phone.
Hrmph
I appreciate the heads up.
Would you or anyone know just a WM6 PDA type site similar to this one then?
I will toy around with the apps I find then.
And thank you for the help.
Google is a wonderful thing.....

heh
I had already looked into some of that.
Between Ifonz, Lazyboys Iphone, and half a dozen other rip offs of the iphone skin, I was hoping for more input on what works vs what doesn't before I clog up my device with 10 different skins trying to accomplish the same thing.
I am more interested in the touchflo (probably why I am here) that I have seen on youtube especially because I like the cube effects much more than the simple iphone icons.
Sorry to keep pestering, just wanted anyones experience with some of the apps, not to have people just tell me to research it myself.
If no such person has any other device or has never used anything other than a stock HTC, then so be it.
Yes.
Sorry for the n00b-sounding thread here, but I just upgraded from my Mogul and am having trouble navigating to apps/kitchens/tweaks that would be something I'd want to do on my Sprint Touch Pro... it seems that most are developed for the Fuze (GSM and with different specs) or for the Verizon Touch Pro (which has different Specs).
So, yes, I'd like to tweak the sh*t out of my Touch Pro...
a) Get it to launch Skyfire instead of Opera
b) Get TouchFLO 3D 2 if possible
c) See if any kitchens are working/advisable for Sprint version.
*edit: there were more, but this gets the point
Thanks in advance for patience and, Bodgah willing, responses. I've been coming here for ages, for generations of PDA's, and just never ended up posting.
Ok, in regards to your series of questions, there is actually a segment of the Raphael forum dedicated to CDMA phones. I know there are a couple of cooked ROMS and kitchens in there. I'd start there to try to find an upgrade.
To install touch flo 3d2 install XBoxMod's manila upgrade found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531
Keep in mind, as with all things there are a couple of bugs, but nothing that is overly severe. Follow the instructions and you should be fine.
As far as skyfire defaulting, I have yet to find a way to create this as the default browser. Even when selected as "Use as default" I still get the Opera browser.
And above all, before anyone jumps on you, please use the search button. I'm a nice guy, BUT... there are a couple of people on here that aren't so nice.
