I have a Treo 750, and the screen real-estate is too small - although I love the device. In order to save some of that space, it seems obvious to me that having a 'combined' plugin for 'messages' - email and texts - would be a good idea.
Mind you, I'm a complete dufus when it comes to developing these things - wouldn't have a clue where to start - but you all seem like devotees who are likely to know (if anyone does) what's out there.
So you don't think I haven't looked, I have. I really, really have. But only in the obvious places that a newbie would go to. And this is such a specific request, it's not going to float to the top of most sites someone with my experience would be aware of.
Can anyone out there help me?
Thanks, in advance
How abt Pocket Breeze? You can even read them on your Today scren.

Hi all,
Im the happy owner of the Qtek 9100 and Im a newbie in this area. Ive been searching around in this forum and can see that there are some awesome people here who really know thier **** ;-)
Well the more I read the more confused I get regarding programs etc etc and I really need some guidance regarding how I actually create a desktop on my Qtek which is similar to the one you might find on a pc ?
I really would like to have ikons on the desktop so that I dont have to navigate through the start menu.
Can anyone help me ? I am a very huge fan of free software and hate to download trial versions
Let me know what software I need and were to find it. Youre more than welcome to catch me ny msn on [email protected]

Check out this thread:

This is quite good though not free - http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
Works like a PC desktop - bit slow performance in places though.

Best FREE software to make it desktop like with icons...
go to www.pocketpcfreeware.com (or pocketpcfreewares.com cant remember sorry)... but do a search for cLauncher. it is a sweeet program. and it is free. it gives you menu's and lets you put icons in those menus (all on the today screen).
PocketWeather isn't bad eithor for a free weather forcast on your today screen.

Howdy,
I have seen all of the threads on the subject, and seen the proggy, and know the sensitivity around all this.

However, it obviously makes sense for someone to cook it so that the iphone looking front end is cooked into a good rom with the stability of a
schraps, or a black satin, etc.
I have tried setting it up separately, but I am a newbie, and have bricked 1 hermes already trying reset it after I screwed it up.
Has this not happened because of the sensitivity on the matter or something else?
Again looking for rom load that uses the apple looking screen already cooked to a rom for a hermes (HTC wm6)
Thanks in advance
obiviously I am referring to the fornt end picture per this url
http://mobilecrunch.com/wp-content/iPhone1.jpg
Claunch is a today plugin that launches applications. Why do you need it cooked in ?! What you're showing in your picture is a regular iPhone. What are you talking about exactly ?
Making the hermes look like an iphone
sorry
What I was trying to say is that they have the skins now to make the hermes (or I guess any wm6 phone) look like an iphone.
But I find the apps/skins not the easiest thing to use/get right/tweak.
Launch on start up etc.
So what I was trying to spit out was has anyone cooked the proggy/skin that does this into a rom so it doesn't to be tweaked.
cheers
I dont understand why this Iphone home screen suppose to be such good think.
The most important thinks that I need in my first look would be my appointments, outstanding task etc. Iphone screen just provides shortcuts for some applications. Well I may not get really what is it about.
Anyhow you can do such thing without any issues and any special rom. what you need is the Iphone icons (I am sure there are hundreds in the web) then the wisbar advance Desktop.
Iphone looking launch screen
Thanks Bulldog.
Love it or hate it, the simplicity of the iphone, skin, is it is good looking and functional.
It is also the benchmark that all other phones will be measured against for a long time (as the phone has not arrived outside the US yet).
Thanks for your tip but wisbar is not quite slick enough.
There are others but they too are not quite right.
I am sure someone has cooked it all in one.
It wouldn't be worth cooking claunch into rom. It's a tiny app, and the pleasure of it is customising it to launch the apps you want to launch.
I've written several guides for claunch, hunt around. But it's a simple app.
What might be useful is if someone makes an all-in-one iphone-alike pack. And those probably do exist. Burning claunch into ROM wouldn't be very helpful.

all-in-one iphone-alike pack
Any direction you can point thee would be appreciated .. thanks
Hello,
im not exactly sure where to post this but i figured this would be as good of a spot as any.
so i current have a treo 700wx and am pretty happy with it.
i was just curious however, on the today screen, is there anyone that can design a hack of some sort to be able to allow for a scrolling picture speed dial? currently it allows about 5 pictures to be viewable at one time, then you gotta scroll with the stylus (or fatty fingers like myself) to look for more.
i have lots of ideas but just dont know where to begin on this. i know it would be a great feature if it was possible?
if anyone can help me pls let me know, thank you
kind regards,

I've posted in the Clock forum with hardly a response. Is anyone addressing the basic issue with business use of TF3D? The Today screen, while attractive, is not well suited to the original purpose; to see mail, appointments, etc at one glace. It uses up so much room needlessly, that there is no room for appointments.
The clock is about twice as big as necessary. Missed calls are not so critical as to need an entire line. Then last is what needs to be first, the agenda. Room for one appointment isn't even close to what a business person needs; we need the bulk of our day at a glance. In this respect, the original MS Today screen was far better, primitive as it is.
The fix is easy in concept. A clock half the size, and dropping the Missed Calls section in favor or an notification icon or something similar would allow room for 3-4 agenda items, which is acceptable in most cases. The question is, does TF3D let one make these kinds of changes? Anyone?

'The fix is easy in concept' is the key words here...
In reality It's not easy...
personally I don't know why you opened a new thread on this subject.. you have already done/asked the same statement/question...
I agree with you.. I would also like to have more appointments, etc on the Home tab...
If you'll have a look around here in the forum you will see that there is research going on on the subject of altering the programming of manila files...
But needless to say It's not easy! (or there would be more changing, more tabs, more of everything in TF3D)
Do a search about it... maybe you can contribute with your knowledge and programming experience?
Yes, I do understand that concept is different than implementation.
It is a new thread because clock design is not the primary topic, it is a means to an end. Also, because I had received no response previous to yours here. Thank you.

Hi all,
one thing I used to love on my Sony Ericsson phones was the EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service), mainly the little animations. For those who don't know EMS lets you include preset animations or sounds in texts by sending them as a code. The receiving phone then reads that code and shows it's version of the same animation/emoticon/sound.
Sadly the Diamond doesn't have this and I miss it a lot as they really brighten up texts. I believe though that the SE Xperia X1 does have EMS support so I was wondering if anyone knows how to get this onto the Diamond?
Many thanks,
Mik
hi mik, used to see you a lot on se-nse when I was a lurker modding my w810 lol
anyway I'm afraid I can't help you, also I think the x1 doesn't have the animations,it is really a htc device with an se badge.
I believe microsoft has to add the function to the messaging app for it to support the animations, but I don't think it'll happen.
Hi roflnova,
I'm still busy on se-nse, actually an Admin on there now
I had read that the X1 had EMS but obviously that info was inaccurate. However, surely this can be added with a software app and doesn't need M$ to implement it. I have found a few old topics referring to certain apps but they're all so old the links are dead or just go to something unrelated.
Anyone know which apps are available these days?

actually no has paid attention to this topic but its very good & urgent
just see this link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa919404.aspx#
I guess it's something that long time WM users have never had so they don't miss it and aren't bothered.
Thanks for that link, I had seen that before but doesn't that just enable the use of an EMS client and still leave us needing that actual client?
So is there no good EMS service for the Diamond?
