Weather On WM6

Well now that i have WM6 "the real thing" i no longer had the weather from pocket weather that i once had. Is there a good weather program for WM6 because i can no longer find pocket weather where i got it from and would like a weather today item.

Not the best but it gets the job done and it is free.

Best Place To Go For All Applications, Games And Video Is www.ppcwarez.org if your looking for weather go under search and type that in. Hope that helps. There all kinds of weather apps on that website.

There's WeatherPanel. Its basically free (the developer has stopped working on it and in their forums you can get a patch (or something, don't remember how that worked now) where it will continue to work.

Not a bad app, but I paid for PocketWeather so I continue to use that.

You can go to the sbsh.net site to recover your reg key and then go to their forums to re-download the software. When my computer crashed awhile back, I lost my Word document that had all my reg keys. I sent my registration key request through the sbsh.net site and had an email with it in less than 5 minutes.

I think it's a good idea that we DON'T promote the use of that site. I've used it before to get workarounds for programs I've bought, but never to rip anything off. JMHO and not being accusatory.

Ive been using wether panel for lil more than a year now, right now its on xplore 1.1, with a 15 min update interval, (update multiplier) u get fluid radar displays that way. My battery lasts for atleast 1 and half day with regular phone and some wifi use. This is the most functional and completely custoimizable(everything from icons to themes to display proportions) weather program ive used.

umm does neone have a skin for weather panel that only takes up 1 line?

I'm running the Chameleon 240 skin now found in that same thread (I've dumped Pocket Weather after finding this skin). I'm loving WeatherPanel now Amazing amount of information available.

Touch Cruise touch-keyboard layout

Hi everybody,
I got my Touch Cruise and I think it's a great device. The "new" touch-keyboard is neat, but I would like to use a different layout like on this screenshot:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think this layout is by default in the system, because it started it when I was asked to type my WLAN password. After I did it, this layout "disappeared" and I can't get it to show up again.
So where is the magical switch to use this layout?
Thanks in advance.

I wanted to use the SIP you mention above as well, but was unable to find a way to select it. I'm not sure why it's not an option in the HTC rom, but it is disappointing.
This is not a solution to your question, but maybe something useful anyway:
Have you looked into PocketCM Keyboard? it is a great option and I love it when used with the iPhone skin developed by 2manyphones.
If you decide to try this, you will need to install sipchange by sleuth225 which will allow you to keep PocketCM as your default SIP even after a soft reset.
Hope this helps - and if you figure out how to get the orginal HTC qwerty, let us know!

I have fallen for CooTek's TouchPal Pro. You can use it in predictive text mode or precise entry. It also has a boat load of useful features like input strings (ie. www.<site>.com), a resizeable input panel, and many others.
I have used Resco Keyboard Pro (V3) and PocketCM (with iPhone skin). TouchPal pro is by far the best and most polished solution (IMHO).

This layout appears when you enter passwords or URL's etc, but yes, don't think you can select it as a main SIP even with a sip changer.
I don't like it as a normal keyboard anywys, you have to press the stupid symbol button to get a period.

Hi,
I´m using the PocketCM Keyboard from here , which is close to perfect.
You really might want to take a look at that, especially with the available Touch-skin.
edit: btw the ContactManager itself is very good too.
oh, and hello to everyone..

Thanks for all the replies, I'll look around.
Cheers.

Touch Cruise Keyboard
Hi there, i tested the Touch Cruise aka Xda Orbit 2 today.
I love this keyboard from the Cruise and wanna get it for my HTC Touch.
Is there a .cab, i can get, please?
Thx a lot!

i absolutely hate the touch cruise's SIP with teh XT9 crap
that thing is the devil reincarnated i swear
i have never actually seen the one in the screen shot at the beginning of this post tho..weird
i'm gonna try touch pal, thanks for the suggestion...btw hi everyone im new here too i just bought a touch cruise last week..upgraded from an htc apache

It must be possible to use this layout as a standard. But I don't know how. But I think it should be possible by editing the registry.
Has anyone a clue how to do this?

I'm trying this out seems good so far!!!

This look very good: http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Fr/SIP/SlideIT_fr.php
and this pretty good too : http://www.mobiletextinput.com/Fr/SIP/ThumbKey_fr.php

I'm using PocketCM, which is ok. Think I will try some of the other ones to see if they're any better. Some ppl swear by them on here. It's just annoying when you have Opera 9.5 and the stock HTC keyboards don't work. So you try and select the pocketCM keyboard but just pulling up the input changer menu takes like 5 secs (see the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375260 post by another user). then when the menu finally shows up and I select pocketCM and it brings up the crappy default windows qwerty keyboard. i have no idea why it does that. sometimes i'll get lucky and it will actually show the pocketCM keyboard. and if I do get the pocketCM keyboard, then that one leaves a space between every character. it's all very annoying and confusing as you can see. either way I've never seen the keyboard in the first screenshot.

Hinavigator, the htc home killer thread .....

HTC Home is a great plugin, I loved it from the moment i layed hands on it, not to mention that the skins the community here have made just added to the magic.
But, there were allways a few things that bummed me out about it, firstly that it doesnt fully support my new I780, sure i can run it at 96DPI, but i hate having to change my whole resolution just to run one plugin. Secondly, and this one has bothered me for a while even when i was using my tytn. The plugin just isnt customisable enough, you are limited to how many icons you can add, how many contacts you can add, you can't shift the tabs around the way you want them, it has a pretty standard layout. the only thing you can pretty much change is the skin. But then came along a new plugin that totaly blows HTC Home out of the water ....
It's called Hinavigator.
At first glance i thought, o no, here comes another htc home clone like pointui... boy was i wrong. With Hinavigator plugin i can change the tabs around as i want, i can add as many as i want, i can delete them as i want. I can put the clock on the home screen, can add the weather on the home screen with it, or icons for apps or contacts ... or i can put the weather into a seperate tab etc ... the options are endless.
And best of all, it fully supports the I780 with 320x320 resolution. I am running this plugin at 128DPI and from the screenshots you can see it runs very smooth and looks great.
Anyway, here are some screenshots, i only really use 3 tabs, but you can add as many as you want.
My home screen, I added both clock and weather on my front screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My Applications screen, iv'e added a bunch of usefull system apps as well as my most common program i use :
Lastly my contacts screen, i havent had chance to add photo's so iv'e just put some icons there for the time being, nice things about contacts is that you can add up to 5000 contacts :
Anyway, this plugin really rocks ... maybe with some skins it will be even better, but at the current level i don't think HTC Home can even touch it.
it's only $10 and worth every penny.
here is the Homepage : http://www.ppclink.com/?ppclink=product&do=view&id=64
you can download the trial version from there.
What do you guys think ?

Reserved...

all I know a few days ago somebody said Samsung Today is the best today plugin
anyway, nice write up. There will always be newer and better home plugin as we have abundance of talented WM developers around so you never know there'll be better once elsewhere to be unveiled. the new touchxperience seems like a great tool!

Really this application is very nice I used it for 3 weeks and It caused NO problems at all

I been using this since the original release and I really like it.
However, the automatic weather update does not work as advertised.
It is now Aug 3 at 7:10 EST. The last update was Aug 2 at 3:40 PM EST. My setting is to update every hour!

From what i read the dev's are aware of the autoupdate bug and said a fix will be out soon. you can manually update it, i mean how lazy can you be, its just a click of a button. Hardly a reason not to use it.

I love your theme/background. Can you post it please?

two problem that makes me uninstall immediately, unfortunatly.
1. photo contacts are not cropped properly. my contacts photo only show top left corner and hardly their face.
2. renders my 'ok' button useless...

That's not the point. If you pay for an application that says it does something, it SHOULD do it.
Like I said, I like the application but wish the auto update (which does not work as of 1.6) would work as advertised.
EDIT: I did notice the auto update would work if the weather was put on the home tab along with the time/clock. However, when weather is on a separate tab, it does not work and update as the settings suggest.

Can I make it use WeatherPanel instead of it's own weather app?

Yes. You can disable(delete) HiNavigators weather tab and use weather panel. However, you will need to use whatever space is left on your today screen since HiNavigator doesn't pull in other plugins.

Oh =/ , I meant can I integrate weatherpanel into HiNavigator but I guess I can't.

o it makes sense now. i have my weather panel as part of my home screen so i guess that is why i dont have the auto update bug.
but come on, be a bit realistic, this program is new and has very few bugs for such a young program. you cant expect it to be bug free. even htc home has bugs and its ancient.
for the time being you can manualy click the update button or put your weather onto home screen, its just pure laziness if you use that as an excuse not to use the software at all. auto update for weather is a very minor bug in my opinion.

thanks a lot. That´s what im looking for. Much beter than htc home and better ans easy than battery status.
If i could remove new e-mails and mms shortcuts, and use backlight control...it would be perfect!

great software, after tried for three days and email ppclink, i have purchased it. Worth every penny. wish they will support finger design for Task Manager as iPhone style.

what we actualy need is a few people with some creative talent to make some nice skins for Hinavigator
the default skin is pretty cool, but would be nice to have a variety...

the only Interface i will be needing : TouchXperience i am so pumped up about it..

When it has Weather support for my city, maybe i'll think about buying it. Until then it's a no go!!

That TouchXperiance looks super tight.

Help HTC Touch Pro II wm 6.5

Hello,
I've used to have the MDA Vario III (htc tytn II) with wm 6.1
Now I have the MDA Vario V (htc touch pro 2) with wm 6.5, but I can't get used to it.
At first I really miss the opportunity for changing the soft key buttons (in the left and right at the bottom). I've already donwloade an app, but i doesn't seems to work in HTC sense.
And also want to turn off that annoying touch keyboard (does anybody know how)
I also want the HTC home app back from wm6.1 (but when I install the app I have to do a HARD reset")
And then HTC sense. It's totally not adjustable and so borring. At your home screem you have the right soft key called internet. I want it to open opera 10 beta, but it only opens the standard internet feature which htc has installed.
I've tried SPB shell but that doesn't also work proparly, when i soft reset of restart the phone it doesnt show, it shows htc sense. I have to activate it first in settings.
ALso I've looked a bit around on google and this site, but I really don't get it how to change the skins and what touchflow is, or manilla.
Can anybody explain it to me.
Or can anybody gove me tips to adjust my phone so that I can adjust it to my personal needs.
I thanl you in anticipation, and sorry for my nad English
ps. Is it possible to rotate your screen by using your g-sensor? like the N-97?

TouchFlo/Manila is another name for HTC Sense. If you want Mobile Shell, you should uncheck TouchFlo (or whatever it is called) in Settings>Home>Items, then it should start automatically after a soft-reset.
For other home screen alternatives (Androkkid, iPhoneToday etc.) look in the Dev&Hacking forums (Windows Mobile Applications and Games), for skins and themes look in the Windows Mobile themes section, for device specific things look in the Rhodium (=Touch Pro2) section .

@livven
Is it possible to adjust the buttons in htc sense or something which works with mannilla?
and how do I install such another skinn?
I thank you in anticiaption

Just some custom slider icons or what do you mean? There are many more of these, use the search !

I want a totall different HTC home
This must be shown
Time, agenda and messages, I also want a something like programs in sense
And the internet button of hts sense must bechanged in opera 10. And I wan't the screem lock bar back again in the screem
like the first picture in your link.
You see a clock, four icons opera-messages-explorer - (hope they work)
And then you have the different tabs, I search something liek that but I don't know where to find and how to install.
And the buttons must be on the left opera 10 beta and on the right wmplayer

something like this

You could use iPhoneToday (mirror if you can't download from RapidShare) for launching apps and TodayAgenda for appointments and tasks.
Also, you can try out S2U2 (Slide to Unlock 2), which adds a customizable lock screen with appointments.

I know S2U2, i don't like the porgramm. also I don't like the Iphone look, if I liked it I should have bought an Iphone.
I want to know how to adjust my home screem with the buttons, and how to install al those skin which are shown here.

First of all, demanding is not how it works. If you want to know something, ask politely and thank people for any answer .
Also, you should've checked out my links. You said you want an agenda - you can get this with S2U2 or TodayAgenda. And iPhoneToday can provide you with information about new messages, and also display icons to launch apps - for example Opera Mobile. If you want other things, you can also search for Androkkid or look on freewarepocketpc.net.

Copilot Live 8.0.0.659 HD2 released

You mean the famous update supposed to include "3D Buildings" and "Text to speech"?
That would be cool.

Installed.
Sorry, I don't like it compared to the official "2577" folder I had previously on my HD2.
This version is less complete. It does not include the useful "Quick Menu" for instance....
I think it's actually an old version. Isn't it?

Thanks for the heads up!

noooooooooo , still no qwerty keyboard

Don't know if its an older version or not, it seems to include more voicers, and I prefer the colour of it, dunno how you turn off the start up voice which it says u can...

The last version (once updated via CoPilot Central) was 8.0.0.557 which suggests that this .659 version is newer, not older I think.

Actually it's the old interface. The one I had cooked in when I bought my HD2.
Since Copilot has totally revamped the interface, including a better menu and also a convenient quick menu which is launched at start up.
the version posted in this thread misses many features. So it is maybe a new version for HD2, but i is old compared to the regular version available on ALK website.
No comparison.

You will find that the quick menu has only been removed as it conflicted with the Navigation Panel and other features on the HD2.
I use the Navi Panel, and before if you clicked HOME on it, it would open Copilot, but thats it. It would stop on the quick menu.
Now it loads up your home favourite, so you can just click go.
ALSO, it now works with Footprints, so you can click on the footprint coordinates and it will give you directions to it. Again, this didnt work before.
Finally, Device screen orientations now works. Before I had to set it, now it rotates to either portrait or landscape.
These are all things that didnt work for ME before.
So in all, there are a few fixes there. I also prefer the black menu, suits the HD2 more.

Thank you for these clarifications.
Never had any issue with the regular version

Text to Speech
Can anyone confirm if Text to Speech and Traffic now work with this version?

Actually, I noticed a bug with this update.
It switches on automatically the bluetooth (and of course doesn't turn it off when I leave Copilot).
Anyone else noticed it?

I spoke to ALK support and they said that the HD2 needs it's own specific update to make TTS and Traffic work.
I am hoping this is the update, but as I'm not due to drive anywhere over the next few days it would be great if someone could confirm it works.
I'll also ask ALK if this is the update they were talking about.

Many thank for the info JetMouse.
I heard that on the Iphone version the TTS was not very good, and also that you have to select a male voice to have it working (don't remember the name)...
Will try tomorrow.
Please, regarding the bluetooth, anyone also has the same problem as me (automatic switch on)?
Thanks

Just had a reply from ALK:
"This version should indeed allow you to use TTS and the Premium Services".
Will be interesting to see if it's any good!

Thanks for the update, tried it and didn't like it.
Was using the latest standard v620 one, TTS and Premium Live Services work great as it does on this current one, but I hate the black theme and I really miss the startup screen which asks me what to do.
Plus I found it to be buggy, tends to randomly crash during startup which the official standard one does not and I found the HD2 version to have very sluggish menu transitions while the standard blue themed one runs silky smooth.

I agree with this. Did not like this HD2 version neither.
The interface of the latest standard one is indeed really better....
Also I found some bugs in this new HD2 version (for instance the "More Options" button, which does not work).

Update successfull,everything works fine .

To do this go into the More Settings and then click on Sound. You should see a tick box where you can now turn off the start up sound and even the button sounds.
