I would like to know if there is a way or a theme out there that makes your start and status bars look like the rounded windows mobile 6 on a WM5 os. I've tried several I found around the web and they just make the colors but don't change the shape. Still boxy WM5 style.
The only way I know to make it as close as possible to have WM6 is to use wisbar advance which is a task/theme manager and then download one of skins in the forums, like the WM6 theme which is pretty close to making it look glossy like that
http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=110472
i think it describes itself. just disable cleatype.
ya that's what I'm talking about! thanks!
hey but it shows up in running programs, so everytime i do "stop all" it stops running, so can anybody tell how to hide it from running programs.
Personally I would just install WM6- it's fairly easy, bug free (with crossbow 1.5, at least from my experience), and works WAY better than WM5, feature and performance wise.
But yeah, I used to use wisbar in WM5, but honestly it's not worth it...
Hi all,
I'm continuing my quest to make my HTC (p3600i) exactly as I want it, but have now run into a snag.
I need a finger friendly application launcher (can be a today plugin, or a separate app) that aside from looking decent (some big icons will do, I don't need it to have really good transition effects or anything) is very memory efficient.
My problem is, I have been using SPB Mobile Shell, which has been ok so far, however eventually it uses up too much of my system ram, making it so my GPS (Garmin) cannot load. This is a problem of course, because I bought the phone mainly for it's ability to use Garmin.
Does anyone have any advice on what the better one is?
HTC Touch plugin? Touch Commander? PointUI? UltimateLaunch? What are people's thoughts?
Thanks
I've had a similar problem Morien. I can't seem to find an alternative launcher that doesn't eat up all of my ram. I'll try a few and let you know.
waku task comes with a launcher that uses little ram search for waku task manager

this one dont use much memory
layla17:
That would be great, keep me posted
thakidc & Rudegar:
Thanks a lot! I'll give them a try.
Search for ultimate launcher, its a great launcher and uses least ram. But it is not free.
I totally love touch flo but I am not sold that it is anything but eye candy and that other software overlays for WM6.1 might be better.
I was curious if there are people out there who have jettisoned touchflo in favor of something else, and what is that else?
Thanks for your opinions, input and software suggestions.
i go back and forth between wad and manilla
I googled WAD and was soured by what Google thinks I was referencing. )
What are you referencing? Manilla is TouchFlo right, but where does hte manilla come from? What is WAD?
WAD is Wisbar Advance Desktop, here you go:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
There are a lot of nice skins for WAD.
ufufu got it for you
yes manilla is "touch flo"
manilla comes from htc but has been reverse engineered by some developers on xda.

i added wad to pda V10 and cant get it to work.. i disabled tf in today but wad still wont display weather etc..
its just a black screen
i really like the look of what wad is supposed to be..
any help is greatly appreciated
thanx
i see it the same way.. Manila2D/TF3D is good only for having your PDA look cool. it's not as useful as a PDA could get.
I set my UltimateLaunch to be as useful as i could using FEWidgets/Makecall (for speed dialing)/Rumball's weather/some internet icons and a networking plugin... and so forth.
..
How do you feel wisbar advanced desktop comapres to SPB pocket plus, do you have any experience?
Glad to hear I am not alone with tf3d not being the ultimate in work horses, I will look into ultimate launch.
by blank screen does it actually look like a blank screen, or does it look like there is nothing on your today screen. wisbar has to be completely designed by hand, or you have to download a theme file.
go here for a theme and tutorial i have put together.......
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442813
I have the same question and thoughts - perhaps WAD or SPB mobile shell would be a better fit b/c of the greater potential for customization. Can anyone comment on the memory usage / responsiveness between tf2d and WAD or tf2d and SPB mobile shell?
the opposite here. i used to have ultimateLaunch, but when Manila (TF3D) was born, ditched UL and now I am a happy manila user... love the changing themes every now and then, and everything else that comes with it, e.g. great graphics (rain animation is nice) and the close to no maintenance. manila is a little less flexibile the UL, but, pros overcome cons, for me at least.
Okay guys & gals,
Just thought I'd start a topic about our Today Screen.
I love a good launcher program (which I believe is simply what a today screen is). It took me a while to get to like WM6.5, but I do now. The disadvantage is that I still have to press my Start Menu for other apps... and for 64MB Uni's the disadvantage is only too obvious.
I hope you don't mind me quoting, but this is what started me thinking...

Yeah, oh for a simple Today Screen. I'm with you there.
Why do we have one method of accessing our apps on the Today screen, and yet another from the Start menu. (And for me a third when I want to choose a game to play).
I suppose nobody has come up with something that everyone agrees on!
Hence we have such platforms as Android, maybe.
As phezthie says, HomeScreen PlusPlus is a cool app. However, if you can't find a theme that someone has made that you like, you must be willing to write a script. Personally I love this app, but spend too much time tweaking my scripts! Ouch
Another one is ThrottleLauncher. A lovely graphic approach, but a bit heavy/slow and a few bugs. Very easy to set up, though... but perhaps more of an interest with 128MB devices and maybe a little restricted.
Anyone got a great Today Screen or Launcher they think others would like?

Hi Jonny
Interesting thread indeed
I used for a long time HTC Home large VGA by pj07 and I was very satified as I had all I needed on that home screen.
Now I´m using titanium but I´m agree with your comments above.
(attached)
Cheers,
I use Titanium too and its going pretty well for my needs till now.This his a good idea.
Hello thank you for starting this thread,as i am obsessed lately with this subject. I tried EVERYTHING that i could find,and so far,on my 64 MB uni,i can say only that i managed to find NOTHING in my taste.
Throttle launcher is awesome but no way it can work on my device,buggy and extremely slow,same as Pointui Home 2, with the POINTSENSE suite 2.0.0.6 looks awesome but useless on my device. For everyone with a 128 MB device i would recommend it,there are many many interesting skins/themes and applets on the Pointui website http://www.pointui.com/
Also,i am waiting for a new or fixed version of Touch Shell Pro ,which looks promising also,has some nice skins too, version now is 1.1.0.17,but has too many issues still,on my UNI at least.
http://www.touch-shell.com/
Also i tried FEWidgets Ultimate,again nice idea but too slow on my UNI.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544874
There is now also this Sense UI Theme for FEWidgets Ultimate.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-sense-ui-theme-for-fewidgets-ultimate.html
As for launchers,i tried plenty,most of them too slow ofc,the nicer ones
Easy Today Launcher is a nice today plugin,you can combine it with some others to make a nice today screen also :
http://www.loffactory.webs.com/
MyAction is a nice launcher you can pick up here versions 1.1 and new 2.0 :
http://www.8080.pl/
This one looks real nice but was way too slow on my 64 mb - Touchlaunch :
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-touchlaunch.html
And for last,the best thing i found to be part of my today screen,is a skin for marsware weather panel 2009 - here is the whole thing :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781
When i get time i will put some more up,when i remember them,i really tried a lot of things out. And i really really wish that my UNI has 128 MB
I never looked back since getting SPB Mobile Shell 3.5, I think it's the best. In fact, once I got it, the ROM UI became irrelevant, I even have WM5 on one of my Unis in order to have the VC and not suffer much.
Complexity
Jonny
Thanks for starting this thread. I have also played with a number of the Today screen graphical setup programs, some are quite good. However, since upgrading to 6.5 I quite like the standard program screen that comes up when you select start.
My question is why do we need any of these today screen programs, when the icons and screen are already there. We really don't want to add any more complexity to the setup or anything else to use up precious memory.
I originally asked the question to see if there was just a way of bypassing the today screen altogether, so that the standard program screen came up by default.
Now thanks to you we have the collective minds thinking about it.
@gewin:
I actually got your idea. But couldn't find the function OS calls (@shell32.exe) when you hit on start menu.
Once we get then it is just the easy part....
I use SPB Pocket Plus, because it can handle other today plugins in different tabs. And it runs quickly on UNI64...
Thanks guys, this has been very informative. Especially to PalDragon for all the review... I'm going to give some of those a try. Cheers. What do others think?
MyAction - I found I didn't like. It looks ok if you use all the icons, otherwise you have half a screen full of blue +'s. I would prefer slide to screen, rather than use of a Prev/Next button. You also need to add all the apps yourself, it wasn't self-populating.
TouchLaunch - like. However only 1 item per line means a lot of scrolling, and the scrolling can be quite slow. Nice that you can make categories. Latest version here. Smooth (on my 128MB Uni)
EasyToday Launcher - @gewin, this is what you want! It's not self-populating, but I do like it. And as PalDragon pointed out, you can add other Today items with it, if you wish.

i completely agree, its not free though but worth it...
Hi Jonny.. can you please attache some pics of your today screen if you haven't yet, I use HTC Home its got all i need even wheather, Messaging etc... But i wonder if its possible to add some applications to the wm6.5 on that cool up down slide. This made me stop using HTC Home but now i have some app's missing on my today.
my today screen is unintersting. I use WM6.5 'Ron Arad Orange' with CHome editor* for my apps (piccy1). I used to have weather plugin* but this seemed to make my GPS navigation freeze intermittently. I use QuickMenu* for my task switcher (piccy2) and iReflect icons* in my start menu (piccy3) with honeycomb start menu*. (Also, once used ATContacts widget*).
However I am still looking for a good 'app launcher' for games. I use fexploreext* set to 'Icon View' (see piccy4&5). Sadly fexploreext doesn't seem to work in WM6.5.1
I did once create a HomeScreen++ theme* for back when it was BatteryStatus, but haven't kept it up to date. It also had weather. The funny thing about weather widgets is that whenever I want to look at the forecast, I always want to update it ... so it seemed reasonable to stick with weather from an internet page! (perhaps because in UK weather is so changeable, I don't know!)
however, I am beginning to like SPB Mobile Shell (unsure how long the trial is for). What themes are people using? enigma1nz? phezthie?
FEWidgets and throttlelauncher seem similar, but a poor mans copy?
*if you want any of these files, just PM me.
spb mobile shell is really impressive and powerful (the latest is v3.5), ive been using ms v2 since tomal's 8.5. however, based from my experience, v3.5 is not advisable using tomal's wm6.5 roms (v9 & 10) due to slow response and occasional freeze. same with other wm6.5 cooked roms i tried, the reason why ram upgrade is imperative, at least for me, to enjoy the latest rom with latest spb.
off course, another solution i think is if our great uni rom chefs will always consider releasing vanilla of their great work...
UltimateLaunch
http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/index_en.html
Setup is a bit of a hassle (I've been messing around in Android, so a lot of Windows Mobile/Phone stuff seems more complex to customize), but if you're willing to put in the time, it's a rock solid-app and can customize to a T. It's also the least memory-hungry of what I've tried.
The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't accommodate rotation very well unless you count out pixels and just set it up so that in landscape it looks good even though the bottom of your screen is cut off.
I've tried Lakeridge (think Titanic, flashy, but *will* crash), ThrottleLauncher, Win6.5, SPB, SBSH. I keep coming back to this.
I used most of the GI app there and i liked WAD2. and i used with my custom theme when i was in wm 6.1, now with 6.5 due to memory issue i can not run it. so i'm using titanium with some customization.... see pic's below...

It takes up about 60-61mb i think
Been testing this afternoon, with ffboy's 21908 clean 6.5 rom i have about 58mb free ram, if i disable start menu i can get upto about 84mb free ram, not bad, messaging for sms works ok it seems, shame weather doesn't seem to work, perhaps thats to do with a missing commmanager, not sure yet.

wow! that seems like a nice amount. on ffboys 6.5 sense rom if i dusable startmenu, htc phone dialer + lockscreen, i can only get a maximum of 81mb at boot, with only 6 tabs enabled! the ram sounds very nice on this. any other bugs found?
This sense works SOO smooth and quick! I like it! A good option to not use a sense rom, but just a nice clean rom and then this on top! Left me ample of free space to use for my apps!
I have LOADS of apps installed on it, but I am using miROM4 (very stable and clean!) and I have 224MB worth of phone storage used up (out of 268MB) - and in terms of memory usage - 45MB still available after all my apps installed and this sense installed. I am looking forward to disabling start menu and will see how much difference it can make.
Does 45MB sound good guys? Especially after me having a lot of cabs installed already! My phone isn't freezing or hanging at all!
Following works perfect:
Flip Clock
Calender
Quicklinks
People tab
Messaging tab (with HTC)
Emails tab
Calender tab
Internet tab (adding bookmarks a bit slow, and can't see preview)
Photos tab
Stocks tab
Twitter tab
Audio tab
Settings tab
Following doesn't work:
Wireless controls don't work in settings
I need some free RAM I guess Any ideas how?
I tried to install Start menu replacement - and lost access to my storage card! I had to use hard reset, now I will update fresh free RAM with miROM4.
Results
Only 71MB free on a totally neat and clean miROM4!! Should I be disappointed? How come miROM cooks sense in his rom with other stuffs and gets away with 80+ free RAM!

hi drupad2drupad!
i will be honest with you... 45mb is soo little to play with. before i began using start menu disabler, i used to get 45mb too, which sounded nice. but now with the startmenu dosable + manilla dialer, and lock screen, im used to seeing 70mb plus all the time! the lowest it will drop to is 60mb. on boot it has about 80mb. which would you rather have... less ram for more eye candy(windows startmenu) or 10mb extra ram for a standard startmenu. same with the manilla phone dialer, and lock screwn. think about the 30-40mb extra RAM you can save. it can run so many more programs. aand potentialy give better battery life? i advise that you back up your device before installing the replacement. if you don't get it right, you may not be able to a get to any menu at all and have yo hard reset. make sure you have sense running before you install the cab. i willpost you some links when i am back on my pc.. (on my tg atm) but do asearch on the forum. BTW may be oftopic but if you use these tweaks with spb shell you get 90mb + RAM!!!! i use spb shell with mobilesense themethough , so i get 80-70mb RAM. but use miros 'trick' to try and stop the memory leak problem.
cheers!

Thanks a lot for your input Oly!
Here is what happened last night:
I am using miROM4 - Retroclassic type 6.5.x clean.
I add throttle launcher and played around with this amazing WM7 theme by fireslave - very smooth and close integration too - but battery drain was massive! Lost my battery in less than 3 hours!
I started looking in the forum to see if I can find a solution, and stumbled across another WM7 theme that was just uploaded by headhunter. Amazing theme, tried it, battery drain issue same, but more integration, din't like the tiles look - so disable it.
Removed both themes and throttle launcher completely.
Installed SPB Shell and tried Doc&Mskips Android themes- as much as the eye candy they are, they help explore SPB to max! Loved it, no battery issues, no ram issues. But since I ended up being a little perfectionist, I hated those lags in loading icons - spoilt the look of tg01 and theme! Everytime I swipe to next page and icons take few microseconds to load! :s (that is THE only feature I HATE about SPB!)
So removed SPB and themes completely.
Then came across this Sense. Installed it, played around. Made that feedback. It ran smooth even with such low memory, but then while adding facebook pictures to contacts, it took absolute ages and froze too!
Another bug I discovered was - messaging. Although I said it works, it doesn't completely! I found that when I tried replying messages from HTC client, it kept saying 'Sim error, switch on the phone!' However, my phone obviously was switched on and the issue I guess is with 'Wireless/comm manager' as mentioned before.
Issue with disabling start menu and replacing it : I used the cabs to replace start menu, but I think the sd card cab in first post is somehow related to winmo start menu. As soon as I disabled my start menu on this sense, I lost access to my sd card!! I removed the cab after this and SD card access was back :s
So removed sense too! hard reset my phone 3 times to make sure I have nothing left on it.
Now I am using basic, very basic windows phone with over 140mb clean ram. No UIs installed. It has 6.5.x start menu at bottom, on the home page I have SMS indicator and date with black wallpaper. I know it sounds so boring, but works FAAAAst! I will be bored with it soon but I was so fed up with memory issues, sms issues, UI lag issues and freezes, battery drains!
I am using my tg01 for occasional browsing, calls, texts since 11pm last night and my battery remaining is 90% !!

wow! soundslike you spent ages trying to customize your phone! abt the issue with htc messaging client, i think it is something to do with the default htc messaging 1.5 not included in this compiled cab. i havent really tested it yet, so i really cant halo you there i our throttle launcher as well, but i agree; battery usage is too much(newer version rely on the 3d accelorator to run contantly, therefore sucking up your battery and RAM. i was going to try mskip's and doc3000 droid theme too, but didint get a chance! i recommend using mskips wp7 theme... it is beautiful! there isno lag, plenty of free RAM, and great battery life. i also dont experience the spb icon lag thing. i think it is based more around 6.5.5 builds. they are generally slower, and consume more resourcses which give you less RAM and speed. also how did you mangage to get 140mb of free RAM!!! i tried using plain windows mobile hone screen (not titanium) and with all startmenu etc disabled i only get 100mb + on a 6.5 rom...
anyway cheers hope this helps!

Sorry melpycar, not hijacking your thread!
I have tried mskips wm7 on spb. To be honest I love all spb themes, but dont like spb lag! I will flash a 6.5 rom and see if it's solved! I think 140mb free ram at boot near to default on mirom4 approx 100mb :s
But after giving it some time it drops to about 90mb free (stays constant approx all the time)
I din't do anything special at all. If you disable startmenu on plain winmo home screen, how did you manage to access programs :S
Regarding this cab - I would love to see if pyro's htc messaging clients are included! I tried to replace current messaging client by pyro's one but it lead me to black screen. I was able to do it on sense roms, but not on this sense. Any chance to being able to cab it up? This cab is surely smoother than sense roms, but if these above mentioned issues are fixed, it will work a charm. I haven't tried using CHT, CHTE with this sense as I had exchange emails encyption on, but could someone please try and tell us if CHT works? and also RAM update after CHT please?

this sense is really quick because it is one of the latest builds, 2019. im currently using build 2016. it is very quick but could be as quick as this! i havent hade any time to test, i will try to soon asap! a tip to save ram is get yourself MMTaskManager (somewhere on this forum) then after you finish acessing music and photo videos tab, kill the processes AudioManager.exe and AlbumSearcher.exe this can save you a total of whooping 15mb ram! i have been using this method for many months now, im deciding on creating a thread on how to save RAM on sense... i know so many tweaks!
i will see if i can try miros miROM4 and get that RAM! Yeh disabling the starymenu with standard today srreen will not let u acess your apps, but you can install QuickMenu or MMAppLauncher.
cheers!
