Hi all,
Since last monday I am also the proud owner of the touch pro from HTC.
It's certanly a big change coming from the wizard, I have 2 of them in case my new phone stops working.
But what I like to know is: is it possible to add more than 15 favs in the touchflo 3d interface?
Hope someone can help me
Request also
Same here, mate.
I would also like to see an unlimited amount of favorites in the Tflo3d contacts tab. It wouldn't be called favorites than anymore but just Contacts Tab!
See my pro's and con's with the Raphael, both hardware and software. This one you can add to the software list disadvantages.

Anyhow, if anybody has an idea, please write it here!

Anybody got back to you on this one. I will also like to add more favorites.
i'm 99% sure its not possible.
According to HTC manual, fifteen (15) is the maximum.
Though I am sure that someone will come up with a tweak
Fact of the matter is:
It's not possible with current version of TF3D. Not even a tweak or a registry setting.
Hopefully in a new update of TF3D or perhaps TouchXperience will have this capability!
We'll wait and see what happens, hoping developers will know about these user wishes.
Regards....
If you're going to have that many favorites, isn't that the same as WM Contacts app? Why even bother with Favorites?
Maybe you'll actually looking for call groups like how Nokia has them?
Nu,
I have about 200 contacts, 15 favorites of 200 wont cut it. At least give me 40. I dont expect unlimited, 200 favorites is just ridiculous and you are right on that one. But 15, I mean, I have more than 15 customers that I have to call, to go throught all contacts or voice command (which I have to repeat like 5 times before I give up). I am sure its just a variable somewhere with a fixed value that can be changed. I wish I could see that code behind it.
Yes, Lol is right.
15 fav's is just not enough. Your pathetic if you only have 15 dear friends and families.
I already have 15 best friends, no room for parents, brothers, other direct families and close collegues.
I believe if I speak to most off us, that, what we like to see is the Contacts tab showing just 15 fav's needs a complete makeover in where the user gets to choose he/she wants to have only XX number of fav's shown, OR the entire list of contacts, including some sort of alphabetic scrollbar on top.
TF3D is meant for quick usage of your most actions on a phone, like calling contacts, reading sms/email, browse photos, listen to music, select communications like BT, and quicklinks to programs. That's why TF3D has all these tabs, so you don't have to find your way through WM start menu. So now when trying to dial one, and go to contacts tab, and it's not in my fav's, then theres to much action needed to get the contact I want. (press more, scroll down etc.)
Like I said earlier, it should become a choice for users. Fav's or entire contacts list. And perhaps the 2 buttons left and right bottom corner could be like 'New contact' and right: 'Search contact'
It just an idea.
the developers making TouchXperience are in the right direction, I'm still waiting for their first release which is taking very long. They need to expand and let Beta users help them finish the product.

I am having the same problem. I was really put out when I was adding my contacts and the add a favorite option was gone. I hope someone comes up with a way around this. I unfortunately have no programing skills...much respect to those who do, you make my fuze sing

Hi folks,
I searched an hour and couldn't find anything: I want to be able to (easily) switch the today screen calendar to:
A) only show private meetings
B) show all meetings
The Nokia N70 does this nicely but I couldn't find any WM software to do the trick. I own a Nike with WM 6.1 btw.
The reason for my request is, that on weekens I would like to be spared with being reminded of meetings next week at the office - improving my work-life-balance ;-)
Anyone know of a solution?
Thanks & Best regards,
p0lDi
This is a wonderful option to be implemented into poutlook. I know you can filter your appointments by categories rather than by status.. so i assume that if you're willing to accept this it would not be that hard to write a quick script which switches between filters.
do you think that would be enough?
not sure - I would assume that the filter is not applied to the today screen, or is it? Also I use categories for other things already... But maybe I just got you wrong ;-)
Well, i assume that to filter to the today screen you'd need a seperate application... but i'm not sure.
The windows today plugin is indeed very basic with only few to no options.
You'll need a separate today plugin like SPB Diary or WebIS Pocket Informant.
I'm sure there are lits more.
Hi,
I actually have a Polaris Touch Crusie (the first one) and am running a nonstandard operating system.
I have been looking on and off for months, and all i basically want, is the color categories in wm6.1 calander to show up, that i have set on desktop outlook 2007. My search fu may not be the greatest, but i have tried google many times, and i personally do not have to the time to go thru the entire xda forums and every thread. I really can't seem to find anything.
I really don't want to go the hassle of a completely different calendar program on the PDA, because i am so intergrated with Outlook 2007. I really don't want to mess up my outlook integration and deal with a bunch of work arounds if possible.
Are colors on the calandar, by chance part of wm6.5? anyone got anything.Is there a registry hack to do this (add color cats to wm6.1)?
Could the be done with a some hack (or code mod) to basic calander, and pasted into a custom rom from someone else, then loaded with a kitchen program, i think? (i hope that was the right phrasing)
anyone got any advice or help?
Thanks
Lol, you want an answer but dont have time to search for one hence asking (joke)
Anyway, basically this cannot be done using 6.1,6.5 ms calender app. If you want this function there are 3rd party apps that can show calender categories and that intergrate quite well.
Our devices have to restrict functionality of their desktop equivilents due to storage and processing restrictions, otherwise they just wouldnt run on a pocket device (hence the phrase)
Cheers.
Hi Gents, my name's Paddy and I'm the proud new owner of a TG01 thanks to Orange selling them off at £150! I love it for the fact that I have 24/7 internet access in my pocket, I have a phone and SMS and the rest I'm gradually finding out...(only had it 2 weeks).
I can navigate my way around the device 'now,' but haven't a clue how to change and customise the rather bland "Today Screen," with it's multitude of stripes!
Having looked through this section, I'm in total AWE of you gentlemen, who have the skill and knowlege base to change these things and some of your screens are just amazing, with BIG weather symbols, LARGE clock faces, the date (which I don't have) ..etc, and 'I' would just love to have a go at changing and customising mine (if it's not 'too hard' or risky for a beginner like myself).
Reading things like, TITANINUM; HTC; DOWNLOAD CABS (aren't those taxi's?) is a new language to me, so I need some hand-holding on this one, and basically a 'paint by numbers' BASIC guide on how to change things on this phone of mine (This is from a guy with a 1938 working phone in the house!).
I appreciate that you fella's are leagues ahead of me on what these gadgets 'can do' and what one can 'do with them,' (And it's great to find fok who are so into doing these things) and I understand if my request is rather trivial in the greater scheme of things here, but I honestly wouldn't ask if I didn't want to learn and really do 'need the help and assistance .'
Yours in anticipation. PADDY.
Hi
One of the best things you can put on the TG01 (and the most simple) is SPB mobile shell. Can be found here:
http://spb.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
Unfortunately you do have to pay for it after the 15 day trial, but for the additional functionality it gives your phone, well worth it
So much nicer than the shoddy tosh interface.
Widgets include:
Clocks, Calenders, Wireless switches, Battery indicators, Messaging notifications, Weather, Media player, Photo frames . . the works
There are various addons for mobile shell available on XDA.
Doesnt cost to give it a go
Hope this helps
Thanks for that.
I didn't even know about that, so thankyou. I'm going to have a look now to see what they have to offer.
When I see things like the pictures posted by members here of their customised screens, and compare it to the default options of my TG01 screen, the two really are planets apart! like different phones almost!
It would have been so much nicer if Toshiba had better options available for the screen layouts, but alas no. So hence my asking for this help.
Thanks again, I appreciate the effort. Paddy.
spb shell it would be fine for you and much more things...
Btw a .cab file is a windows mobile file to install directly on your tg01 an application(any kind of)(like copy/paste[somewhere on tg01, maybe storage card]/tap on .cab & follow onscreen instructions.
You can have something like this by adding SPB Mobile Shell and a skin on top of that.
Skin..etc

I can follow the downloading of the SPB (Seems straight forward - even for 'me!'). But what is the 'addition of a skin ontop' mean please? (don't worry, I know when I am talking about things I'm really familiar with, it's easy to overlook the lesser knowledge of others' until someone stops me and says, "I didn't quite grasp that, could you just explain more slowly please...").
The effect (shown in the pics) looks great! it's just 'how to' get there that I don't know... (gotta start somewhere I guess).
Putting a skin onto mobile shell means that its changing the original graphics for different ones, like for example the launcher bar at the bottom of the homescreen, or the clock. Personally Im happy with most of the supplied graphics, and the only thing I've put on extra is a widget pack for extra functionality. One baby step at a time Just install mobile shell and get used to that first, the rest will follow later
Good advice in the above post, take a small step at a time. I've tried loads of themes and I've done quite a few hard resets in the past few weeks, this means starting from afresh each time and re-syncing contacts etc.
The best theme I've seen is the Sense 2.5, however the functionality just isn't there yet, contacts not working, can't save internet favorites etc, so it's no good for me at this stage. Other skins can have problems too like memory leakage.
To get my skin I just installed the Mtstmp-Keithdupont MS Espresso cab over SPB Shell and then rearranged the widgets to where I wanted them.
Try here just search on the forum for " SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 tricks"
Really good advice! (Found some video tuition too)
I've been playing with it for the last day or so, and it seems straight forward enough and has a nice look to it! It's good to have the 15-day-trial to test it out too, as that will be ample time to see if it works for 'me.'
For anyone else out there who is a total 'newbie' to these things. For installation advice, go onto YouTube as there are plenty of step-by-step visual guides on how to download the SPB Trial (I didn't know whether to go for the CAB download or the other option! it recommended the CAB) and it breaks it all down into easy steps. 'If' you miss abit, well you can just backtrack the video guide again
The one thing I am finding tricky right now with the SPB, is when I want to make a phone call and do a 'search' via typing in a name for a number. The option of the QWERTY keyboard in my phone section always seems to escape me right now!! no idea why, but hopefully I'll figure that out as it's an important option for me to 'find' a name and number to phone.
Finally, FIRST CLASS SERVICE and help from you gents on this one, as I didn't have a clue where to look or begin, and the new layout really does look professional IMHO! Cheers, PADDY.
PADDY_M
In phone mode, you have a key(left, bottom, right near TALK [phone] sign) ''HIDE (phone) KEYPAD'', tap it and you should get the device keyboard(toshiba or else).
Good luck!
Let me know you got it...
Got it.
Thankyou!!! makes life so much easier!!
Welcome, anytime I can be helpfull...
I am not much more informed than Paddy above but perhaps more foolish. I have downloaded and installed 40 mb of Htc sense 2.1 ( i think). And cannot remove it. I think I need to hard reset? Hold down camera, vol up etc. If I do, will this return the phone to "as new" or will I also lose all original files.
I am most worried about losing coreplayer as I don't have a pc.

As far as I know coreplayer is preinstalled in wm 6.5/6.1 toshiba ROM, no need to worry about.
Regarding the faulty installation of htc stuff, I suppose(not sure 100%) you're right: hard reset=master clear(start/settings/system/masterclear ) will return your tosh as new(this is 100%sure).

If you do a hard reset, the phone will be as you got it from the store. So it will still have core player installed

If you hard reset (Master Clear is same thing) then you will be back to 'out of the box' status. When you start up a clean device like that, it installs several .cab files provided within the ROM, including the assorted Orange apps and also including Core Player.
If you want to get rid of (most) of the Orange-ness of the TG01 you can intercept this process and prevent these apps being installed, or choose just to add Core Player but none of the others. This is done by using a desktop Registry Editor via USB while it starts up. Detailed instructions are in this thread on MoDaCo (see Post #25).
Thanks very much all. That puts my mind at ease. I'll be able to try other stuff now.
Hi All.
Can any of the clever members mod the HTC SENSE Calender to allow 'tap and hold' of an entry to bring up the menu (eg. edit, delete) directly.... this will save a couple of clicks.
Cheers.
heh, that's EXACTLY what I would need to free myself form the old pocketoutlook calendar, and reactivate the calendar tab of manila.
If it stays like it is now, it's just useless eyecandy, not to mention how clicking on any empty day in week view doesn't bring you anywhere, while I would expect it to open the relevant day, even if empty.
Not to talk about day selection dialogue, if you are unlucky enough to need selecting a day, say, 10 years in the future or in the past (don't ask me why, it could happen) you need to pass throught 120 animations of scrolling months,pressing 120 times on the up/down arrows, instead of being able to directly select the year.
But I seriously doubt anyone will be able to change that part of manila..
even if its not the manila calendar, you may have a look at mvcal or download it from here

there's 2 problems with that... it's pay software and it has a initially complex interface. WHat I'm looking for is not really anything special, it should have been in the device already, and could be defined as either one of the following:
1) a vanilla pocket outlook retaining its current functions, but with a way more finger friendly interface
or
2) a manila calendar keeping the current interface, but with all the functions that the vanilla pocket outlook calendar has
Now, as I hear WM 6.5.5 has a finger friendlier interface (my custom rom is 6.5.2 based), I don't know if 6.5.5's pocket outlook has a different interface closer to what I need, I would like to have confirmations

Need help. I'm having problems making/receiving calls on my Tilt 2 and I'm thinking of upgrading. I am having a lot of problems just finding answers to some basic questions about the options available. Being a long time user of Win Mobile, I'm leaning to the WP7. Some questions that I have are:
1. Text entry. Sliding keyboard aside (I'm thinking of the Samsung Focus) is there a transcriber program? I take notes during meetings, etc., and presently either use the keyboard on the Tilt, or a 'Phatware' transcriber program.
2. Backward compatability. Will WM6.5 aps work on the new WP7? Programs like eReader, Laridian Books, Platware, etc.?
3. Is there the ability to import a Contact to a new appointment on the Calendar? Not being able to do this on the Tilt 2 has been a real pain!
4. Is there a stylis?
5. Can you watch a missed TV show from CBS, A&E, or Fox.com?
As I said, these are simple (hopefully, not stupid) questions, and thanks for what ever help or opinions are offered.
1. Microsoft OneNote to take notes. There is no handwritting recognition, just virtual keyboard (for Focus).
2. No.
3. ?
4. No.
5. Several 3rd party apps are either available or in development to watch TV shows and old seasons.
3. The calender provides the option to specify required and optional attendees for an appointment if this is what you mean.
Is the OneNote the only application? I was under the impression that Office was included, which has Word and Excel.
Also, there is some confussion about what I ment with question #3. On my Tilt 2, when creating a new appointment, there is no way to pull a name off of my Contacts list. I have to re-type the name as a new appointment, with no cross link. This has always been a real pain, and something that I can not understand why a business friendly platform can't do. In the original Tilt, you could pull up a Contact, and had a menu function that would allow you to create an new appointment with that contact, but not with the Tilt 2. This is something so simple that even my old Palm M100 would do.
An observation, it certainly appears that all platforms are full of bells and whistles, while leaving the solid old PIM functions out. Maybe I need to go back to my Franklin Planner, and a simple flip phone......
Thanks for the info. From what it sounds like, I won't be going to WP7. I'll have to look at the android/iPhone, to see if one of them will work for me.
Thanks again....

android and iphone will be the same as wp7 in all those aspects.
the only advantage goes to android which can watch those tv shows (android has flash) but wp7 will be getting flash soon too, so it will be able to soon. iphone will never have flash.

there is also youtube support already in windows phone, so no problem there either.
