Hello boys and girls!
Here's my little Chrismas present for you: iDiamond Project public beta
As for now, it's nothing but a fancy application laucher, but it will be developed into complex UI over time. I'm too lazy to write more, so look for yourself.
And yeah, a feedback (or even an usability review) will be appreciated.
Special thanks to:
mun_rus: for your help in manila R&D (reverse-engineering and development)
bepe: for your useful hashing utilities
nestore5: for your help with decompilation
chainfire & guys: for QTC converter
Thank you all guys! You all helped greatly to make it happen!
System requirements:
TouchFLO 3D enabled VGA device
The official beta testing period of v.0.2 is over, coz all valuable information is collected and we got into flood&flame stage.
You're supposed to stop using the beta and wait for next releases (in Feb-Mar). The beta will forcefully expire after Jan, 15th.
If you haven't got a chance to try, here's the video:

Attention!
If you're going to distribute this to other forums, please do not remove credits.txt from the package, so users can always check back for newer versions in this thread.
Interface modders, if you're going to change some graphics, please leave loading screen logo untouched. This is my personal request
Regarding HTC Touch HD version:
I can not develop HD apps without actual device, and i don't think i will get any, coz it's not even sold here. But as soon a i get one (by some miraculous means), you can count on HD releases along with Diamond releases. You heard me
Donations:
I don't need money for this project, coz i write it for my own pleasure, and Paypal is not available in my region anyway. I wrote it just above, but i will state it more clearly: what i really need are Touch HD (for HD version) and iPhone itself (to look how things are done there), so, if you want, you can look in the direction of fundraising via someone trustworthy in the community, but that's just an idea...
Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Manila hangs or restarts sometimes during adding a shortcut
- Clock icon does nothing - it's just showing time (for now)
Impossible features (do not request them please):
- Locking the entire interface
- Integrating TF3D tabs into iDiamond UI
- Integrating iDiamond UI into TF3D
- QVGA version
Upcoming features:
- Setting wallpaper
- Built-in applications: picture viewer, music player (with coverFLO), messaging, etc.
- Active icons for applications: showing number of missed calls, new messages, etc.
Tips & tricks:
- Adding shortcuts to special places/actions, like Settings and New SMS (workaround): I haven't tried that personally, but i'm sure it's possible to create a special .lnk (with special parameters) for such actions (just goggle it) and add em like regular application.
"New SMS" shortcut attached. Just put it into your Programs folder
SMS Inbox: 00#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS"
More shortcuts here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/windo...51874-windows_mobile_shortcuts_erstellen.html

Edit: So wait. This means my TF3D won't run Awe. I was hoping to secondtoday this....any way I can get two versions of TF3D running at the same time? I would like to keep TF3D and have this run on my fuze. Suggestions D-Man?
Good job, man. Can't wait to try...
1 min review:
Seems very usable. I like the look. I'm a compare it to the iFonz, like that it's not an app, but I still feel that if you can seperate the bottom four icons and put the page dots above it and have the same docking look as the iPhone. You're good to go Oh and I hate the fact that I can't have TF3D and have this running on Second Today I can only have one. No bugs so far. It seems pretty fast.

I understand the UI, but wondering if it was possible to make it so that TF3D still is the main hompage, and this becomes a replacement for the programs portion of WM6. I understand that it is iPhone like, but I like the TF3D, but would love to replace the programs folder with this instead of the WM6 version. Or even replacing the TF3D programs tab with this. Using it as a today screen cuts out alot of essential info. Just asking and giving feedback.

I basically said the same thing I think it would be possible, but D-Man would have to re-code it and change it, because I think it'd be hard to keep both of them. If you're want it like this only for the programs, I suggest you look into TouchXperience by schaps which should have a public beta by christmas >.> (I've been waiting ever so patiently for him to come out with it since it looks too good to be true and it's uber awesome and I could like talk about it all day since it's so awesome, but I won't because it's going to clog my whole post with TouchXperience)

To me (personal opinion) this is more of a app launcher (a nice one at that), and as far as TouchExperiance, I gave up on it and I think it has been abandoned.
tried it and like it!
it somehow slows down menu popup when im in app launcher thou, not at home screen
one more thing is sometimes it will restart itself when u add a shortcut, and u have to add a different shortcut instead of the one causing prob, then only able to add the one afterward

I know you can download different today plug-ins, and i know about VisBar and such, but I don't see how your today screens look so different from mine (after looking at various 'today screen' threads).
My screen is just several horizontal lines, with the usual "no new messages", "active tasts", etc, and a couple of plugins.
I see people's screens with a completely different layout.
Cheers for any replies
matheprat: it might be worth reading through some of the threads on this subject, eg here:

Thanks for the link, very helpful.
How do you get rid of only the bottom toolbar in WM5? I downloaded the program that other people had used, but I could only get rid of the top bar (which i'd prefer to keep), and not the bottom one.
Cheers
matheprat: If you're referring to the program ToggleToday, I haven't released it yet for WM5, but it's coming very soon.

If you need an alternative, try Wisbar Desktop Advance.

Note: Wisbar 2 or desktop is very very laggy
Use PPX instead if you want better speed, its just as good as WisDesktop.
This is the skin I m currently using
Does PPX work on WM5? Looking on their website it doesn't mention specific compatibility, but has anyone got it runniung satisfactorily?
Cheers,
Fin
Yes, I forgot to mention PPX. It takes quite a bit of headscratching to get it set up, but it works well in the end. Never tried it on WM5.

There's so many program's out there that can change the way you're today screen looks

I'm still looking for a alternative interface for my phone to operate more easily with my fingers instead of my stylus.
It's so hard to quickly find a contact in my contact list while on a bike, in my car, etc since the scrollbar is like 3 pixels wide. Or to lock the phone or close an application, the icons are to frigging small
Not that I have big hands, rather small for a guy even but still...
Any suggestions?
matheprat: not sure when it'll be released, when I get time!
I'm working on too many other things as well, it's really just when I get a few minutes to work on each bit. Hopefully release fairly soon, as I said, WM5 is done, I need to join it to my old WM2003 code and then check it against a companion today plugin I wrote. Quite a bit of behind the scenes stuff involved

I didn't mean to come accross pushy, sorry if I did. I know there's a lot of work needed in developing programs, and no doubt it will be worth it when it is released.
Many thanks
matheprat: no offence taken at all, didn't think you were being pushy.
ToggleToday was one of the first programs I ever wrote, and then I bought myself a Universal to start development on, but accidently wrote VJBigPhone and that kept me busy for a month or so
Now VJBigPhone has gone quiet, I'm finally getting around to re-writing ToggleToday! It's a messy program to write, particularly for dual WM5/WM2003 compatibility, but the basic code is written. Now I'm wrapping it together and will work on a GUI for it.

i use .mobile contacts on my jam and it makes finding contacts and calling them much much easier while driving. don't know if its completely compatible with WM5 but won't hurt to try. heres the link http://www.sygic.com/mobile/phoneedition/index.php
The MOST stable Today Information plugin eva
By the way, can someone recommend the most stable Today Information Plugin?
I was using latest PowerLevel plugin by ScaryBear but it has lots of memory allocation/deallocation problems. Then I switched to simple 15Kb "TodaysInfo" plugin by Lou Terrailloune (v1.7) and it is quite stable but it has significant rendering delays when rotating screen. So, what is the most stable/fastest one to show battery/memory levels and perhaps it can inform you when your battery charge completed (aka PowerLevel/AudioInformer)?
Thanx!!!
Sounds good - any chance of a link?

UPDATE: October 12th, 2007 - The animation will now show with no flickering.
Dear developers,
I started the developement of a WM WaitCursor replacement. Since the default WM graphic module (gwes.exe for WM5 and shellres.96.dll for WM6) doesn't support transparent images for the WaitCursor, I'd like to add this feature to our devices.
The idea is quite simple:
- Remove the WaitCursor Resources from that modules
- Write an application that catch the WaitCursor event (if it exists) and shows an user defined one.
I already wrote a initial application that shows a cursor only when executed and it works quite good. It is written in Native C++ that means more efficency and less memory usage.
The application runs in background and has no window so it doesn't show any "close" button and no soft-keys.
The images (PNG with alpha transparence!!!) are loaded from a directory and drawed in the screen (the IImagingFactory interface is no more used because it's too slow).
Here are some screenshots...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Below, you'll find a video of the product in action.

Help wanted
Anyway I have 2 major problems:
If there is another window opened and I scroll that window, the already drawed pictures scroll, too.
The pictures are painted over the precedent ones, so if there is a transparent picture, the back one is still present. (To avoid that problem I tried to capture the portion of the screen and paint it just before every picture with BitBlt, but it introduces a little flicker problem)
If someone is experienced with the GDI and can suggest me a way to solve that problem or a better way to draw that pictures I'll appreciate it very much.
And do you know which event is thrown when the WaitCursor is showed? So i can catch it.
thank you very much for every help you give me.
Marshall
I attached a video in the first post showing the potential of this application.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Marshall
WOW! this is very big! i would like to see this happen.. though i don't have any programming skills.. i'll support this all the way..

I just wanna point out that your first problem might not be a problem at all... Can you scroll when the current / official wait icon is shown ? i think not, since that is why it is shown, to let you know there's nothing you can do but wait... I'm not sure, but my guess is that nothing can happen under your cursor once you show it when it's supposed to be shown.
About the second problem, i have no idea...
wow i like what i see. cannot help with "flicker" though...video and info explains why mac wait cursor is not possible now ....

Good point! Thank you RPG0. Maybe it could be a problem if you, for example delete a file. The WaitCursor appears (it can happen in the \windows dir) and the file explorer remove that line and makes the window scroll because now one file is missing. I'm not sure but maybe this situation could introduce that error.
BTW, at the moment it is not so important. Thank you again.

Actually it could be possible in some way. If I capture the screen and draw it before every frame, the "overlapping" problem will not occur. But, like I saied, it will introduce the flicker issue. I believe that there is a way to do it with no flickering but I'm still looking for it.
Marshall
...this guy is so smart...can´t wait to see it´s first stable release...keep up this cool work.
...btw...when you managed the waitcursor to get transparency, this should also work for the pop-up windows eg for new sms coming in????...wow imagine the posibilities...

The projects is going on, a bit slowly since I'm very busy and I have some issues with the new version.
I finally eliminated the flicker problem replacing the IImage functions with the better bitblt but I'm still getting some problems with the AlphaBlend function to draw the pictures transparently.
BTW, like you said, it can bring lot of possibilities!
Marshall
I have the xda neo with gullums prophet VIII. I copied at first touch wait cursor to programs folder and tried to install. After installation it makes a softreset, but the old waitcursor is on screen, not the new installed. I tried it again with vista cursor...the same. What can i do?
Me Too!
I'm also getting the same issue. I use LSW's Black WM6 OS.
This questions should be posted at the Marshall WaitCursor Skin thread. This is the Developement thread of the "Transparent" WaitCursor.
However, the skins you installed are for WM5. You have to install a WM6 version. At the moment only the Touch WaitCursor Skin is available for WM6 but all the others are coming soon.
You'll find it at the bottom of the languages list for the Touch WaitCursor Skin at the download page.

Good news!
I finally was able to show the animation with no flickering. This "little" step will make it possible to use any kind of transparent pictures (even MAC and Linux Bouncing cursors). Ther'll be no overlapping between two different frames in total smoothness.
The next step will be capturing the moment in which the OS shows the default WaitCursor in order to show mine. I sadly discovered that there is no event thrown by the system in that situation, so I'll have to look for another way. I read somewhere that it can be done with the WM Cursor APIs but it seems to not work.
If you know a way to let the application know when the OS shows (and hides) the default WaitCursor, please tell me.
Any other help will be also appreciated.
Marshall
any update Marshall07?
Thank you for all of your name submissions and comments. I would have loved to use all of them, but one stood out from the rest, describing exactly my vision for this customization. Congratulations chulo_allen of xda-developers.

Same here!!!! The clock shows 88:88 and everything else is gone. But it is nice and smooth though...good job music!!!!!!!
I was going for the Time machine effect, where it looks like you open your desktop and there is all this space back there. oh well. I guess it's not for everyone.
I'm working on a Supernova type of transition where a sudden burst of light comes out, then subsides to show the galaxy, then the Slabs come up.
hey man...lovely program... some constructive crit. though....i hope in the future you make an app to change up the programs and apps in the cube/flo....its slightly slow as compared to the original t.flo...and it would be nice if there was a changeable background... but honestly...amazing program...installes and uninstalls without any problems...launches and minimizes properly...except when its being launched it shows a background of a different touch screen, but thats just a cosmetic effect...ill giv more feedback if as i use it...hope it helps...thanks again for something great
He does it again!
MusicMan,
Nicely done!
Can you describe the easiest way to modify the shortcut locations/change the icons? Some of the shortcuts don't work, probably because I have installed programs on the storage card vs device proper.
Is there a way to set the default page? (so the phone shortcuts always pop up first?)
Thanks again!

Since my next device will be an xda diamond (at least i hope ) where Today-Plugins can't be used together with TouchFlo 3D.. i've release a very early alpha version of SecondToday.
An application that behaves like the default-todayscreen. This way you can use e.g. TouchFlo 3D and all your today-plugins (wrapped by SecondToday).
Tap and Hold on a free window area will open the settings-dialog!!!

The attached cab remaps the left softkey for switching between default-todayscreen and SecondToday.

Hey ikarus, i'll gave your SecondToday 0.25 a shot and I'm quite impressed. I use it with the Diamond on the Left-Softkey on Hometab.
The only todayplugin I use is TodayAgenda ... there are some redrawing glitches after changing its preferences: it shows only a quarter of the screen, maybe you didn't notice this with qvga, but if I restart SecondToday everything is OK
Very nice work so far
My only wish is that I can hide the SecondToday by pressing left softkey, this would be great because i could toggle the two today screens.
will try it right now...
When I start SecondToday I get the message
Failed to load System Today-Watermark!
what the hell is the reason?
I have Bepes 0,53 ROM
i run second today with bepe's 0.53GER - rom and it works. i only need battery status to run in background to keep track of my call times and data amount, so i only switch to second today once a day or so. most of the time i have to kill and restart it to get in on screen though...
but so far: thumbs up!another great piece of work!
Some screen shots would be Amazing please?
Thanks very much.
I would reaaaally appreciate some screenshots
Also, maybe a stupid question, but that's VGA-only, right?

oh.. SecondToday can't find the background-image of today-screen..
i know the app is in an early state, but if you want to help then send me a pm and we will try looking for the cause.
btw. there are still some things like reordering of plugins (settings) and scrolling of window in work and available soon.
for screenshots.. there's no need since it looks like the regular today-screen with plugins

this is a know issue..
solution so far.. add it to the exception list of htc-taskmanager and bring the SecondToday-Window to front by starting the program (executeable) again.

no not yet. It's coded, but tests missing. I guess it will be released end of the week but not for sure since i still have to work for money
ok - Now it runs
It is not enough to select a Theme - it is nessecary to select a definitiv Picture with resolution 640 x 480.
Thanks for helping to build in ohter plugins into the Diamond TouchFlo 3d
which features do you plan to implement in future releases ikarus?

hm.. good question..
at first it should behave like default-todayscreen
then some features for plugin-developers are already implemented and used by BatteryStatus.
e.g. Performance features for quicker response or faster drawing like TODAYM_REQUESTREFRESH (which isn't supported by old windows mobile builds) to immediately recalculating the height..
So.. the most important feature is stability and performance.
I have some ideas to integrate trayicons, but this would only work with BatteryStatus since i don't want to hook the system or something similar only for trayicons.
And of course if you have ideas for a "better TodayScreen" then let me know hehe

Wow, just tried it, and it's really cool!
Tested it on a Wizard though
Thanks a lot fot the prog!
great tool!
tried with spb diary and works well
I like it
Great idea. This is a must for those who use other plug-ins. I'll stick with you on this one. First I installed it, however the image I use for the today background (which with FLO 3D creates the background for the start menu) also creates the background for 2ndToday, can that be individualized in the config menu with a simple browse to file type function. Be cool to have a normal flo 3d background, and a naked chick in black heels on the secondtoday screen .
2. Is there a way for a checkbox option to bind the touchflo3d right softkey to activate the secondtoday screen. Right now I use WKTask which puts the minimized icon at the top to quickly switch over. Using it on one of the launcher buttons doesn't make for a super fast switch to hide the naked chick
3. Is there an option to make the naked chick dance
Keep up the good work. Just questions, not suggestions, just glad you did it. Can't wait to see the progress.

i luv your work probex
looking good and when i say good i mean freaking amazing
Great work. Its so different that it will be a classic.
Thanx
Thank you Probex,
This is great. Love it . Its amazing
I love the looks of this in the video and them screen shots, strangely though after installing it I restart, reload touchflo and just get corrupted screen, tried restarting the phone and get the Initializing PPC takeover with its graphics but then it goes to a corrupt display again, gutted
You are running the Touch Pro 2 Ported software correct? As this is not for the regular touchflow 3d.
Is there a version for TF1?
This looks amazing!
Is there a version that can work on the "old" version of TF3D?
(I can think of a lot of less technical people who may want it too)
Thanks in advance!
Nope nothing for the old version the 2 are very different so its not a small job to make the changes. For now I am usen TP2 on my phone and love it so I can't see going to the old touchflow for a while, but I will keep this in mind. There is a version of this for the stock tf3d but its not quite the same this is the updated version.
Hey, will this only work with ATR ROM? It's the only ROM I see with the small tf3d icons along the bottom bar.
Probex,
The theme is wonderful and i'm running it without issues for the past 8 hrs.
Can you do a favor and do something about the appointments messing up the buttons. (see screenshot).
Also its difficult to know which button represents what, can you change the buttons and make them represent sms, email etc.
touch pro 2 rom?
i saw u wrote that u recommend the touch pro 2 rom on the lower right corner of the screenshot, wat is the rom tat u recommend?

Appointments--That is the software not the theme.. I can do nothing about it sorry xbmod is aware of this issue I am sure.
The small buttons I removed as the big icons are shown as you drag along from screen to screen it does not take long to figure out were they all are.

Can you remove the transperacy in the curtain so that it hides off the appointments ?
Also your theme is not visible in the remove programs list, but i can see it through activesync add/remove program. Is it a rom issue?
That is a TP2-or Rom issue yes, I use SKTools for adding and removing programs as nothing seems to show thats installed in the stock add remove programs thingy. but SKtools works fine.

Try adding this manila file back in i believe this will restore the bottom semi transparent black curtain. If you want it, it may look a bit off on the theme but if its important for you.
To put it in shut tf3d off from your settings and move to your windows folder, overwrite when prompted.
hey probex wonderful freakin job.......
one question....i watched the vid and dash has the dailer.....where can i get the dailer to match this theme
