One of the things I have always liked about the HTC products (at least on AT&T) is the Note button that is visible when you end a call. When you push it, it brings up a note using a special template that fills in the date & time of the call as well as caller information. Sadly, this has been removed from the TF3D call screens.
I know that with Diamond Tweak, you can set the Fuze to use the AT&T (HTC) default which brings back the Note button (as well as on-screen talk and end buttons). Unfortunately, when you do this, you no longer get the large, friendly caller ID screen. All you get is the popup at the bottom.
If someone knows how to get to the Notes call log template from the TF3D call screen(s), please let me know. Or perhaps one of the developers out there can find a way to create a new skin to incorporate the Note button (and maybe bring back the onscreen talk button).
Thanks,
Joe
How about removing the stylus during the call? The default setting is to launch the Notes app with all the call info pre-filled.

True, but it JUST launches the Notes app and doesn't launch the template. I went there already. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Mine does launch the template with the various fields filled in (and even puts it into a separate folder named "Calls") when I remove the stylus.

I don't know why but the first time I tried that it just opened a regular note. Seems to be working as you say now. I'd still like the button since I don't scribble notes, I type them.
For the time being, I'm switched back to the WinMo dial pad. I have a cab file that skins that dial pad on the older HTCs to make bigger buttons. I may try it out on this one and see what happens. Still doesn't get me the large, friendly caller ID.

Have you ever had a nice girl or someone asking you the time ?
surely yes. And I guess that most of you like myself do not wear a watch anymore and use their PocketPC instead.
Does any one know an application that could be assigned to a button to display the clock in FULLscreen mode. And then just pressing on the screen (or pressing the button again; a toggle button would be nice) would go back to the previous use of the PocketPC.
This way to would be easy to show the clock in fullscreen without having to start a heavy application.
Any suggestions for such an application?
Don't know about an app, but why not have the clock to always show in the titlebar?
I have the clock in the titlebar, but when you want to show the time to someone in the street it is too tiny, too small for the eyes.
rlToday looks really nice, but what I would like is just a pop with the clock. I have already too many stuff on my today screen, no space available.
I have just tried Spb Time, the screensaver screen would be perfect, but does someone know our I could launch the Spb Time screensaver screen with the push on a button ?
For this I need to find the command that does start it.
I Think u should try using Spb Mobile Shell...it's definately the right choice for ur need..
Try SPB Mobile Shell
Just released, adds a NOW screen when you turn on complete with clock. Press a soft key to go to today screen.
Using on mine, like it a lot.Only works with WM5.

That looks quite nice. Just for comparisons sake with wisbar, does it allow multiple today screens or just the "now" screen and a "today screen"

it is quite nice... especially when driving! but it does only allow 2 screens, the today and the now screen.
Mike, Wisbar Desktop could be a solution, you are right.
I have actually tried it a long time ago, but thought it was just a nicer way to display shortcuts to launch application. Am I wrong or I haven't looked at it enough. I prefer to use the start menu to launch application (I use WA2 by the way, and the cascading start menu feature is really Nice).
Can you have 2 normal today screen with WAD and switch with one hardware button from one another?
I have also looked at Spb Shell, and it seems to me that it is a way to get a simplified and more nice looking PocketPC. But I find the default WM5 today screen more convenient, and I would have to remove WA2 (I guess they can not run both at the same time..)
The other issue it that if someone ask you the time, you have to quit what you were doing to display the clock on the today screen.
Hi Mike, So as I can see with WAD you can create several desktops, create you own shortcuts. But still I prefer to use WA2 cascading start menu.
As enclose I made a screenshot of my today screen. I thought again, what I really need is a kind of screensaver with the clock so that anyone not accustomed to using a PocketPC is not lost with so many things (I guess that even the top and the bottom bar displayed can be annoying) and can just read the time. I going to investigate the command that has to be used to start 'Chronos' screensaver.
try ae button plus

Hi
I've tried the search but I could'nt find anything because the words were too common. I'd like to change the behaviour of the people tab in manila 2D, so that when I click a picture it calls the person instead of opening up the contact file... I don't really understand why it does this anyway, because when you add a contact in the tab in the first way it asks you to choose either mail/sms or phone number, and even adds a little icon on the bottom...
Thanks everyone

I'm sure you've figured this out, but if you press on the bottom part of the contact picture (with the phone symbol or icon) it will call them.
I like the feature that when you tap the upper portion it open up contact info. If you want to text or email one of your fav contacts it's the easiest and quickest way to do so.
I could be wrong, but I believe this is a feature of M2D that is built in and can't be changed. Kinda like asking for a calendar tab, or stock tab.
Regards,

Just for future reference, it is against forum rules to double post. I know you found the Manila thread, after you already started this thread, but you should have search before starting a new thread.
I would've actually switched between the option if it was up to me
clicking the picture should call the person and the bottom part should bring up the contact's page.

Yeah, I agree that would be better. Sometimes my big thumb hits the picture when I'm in a rush.
P.s. I have to apologize for a double post as well, I answered his question in both threads.
lol, it's alright.
anyways, if it's changeable, herg will know what to do.. i'll see about that.
my problem is the opposite of this.
when i clik the picture in the people tab nothing happens. but when i click the name it calls the contact. how do i make it work to bing up the contact info when i clik the picture.
thanks
strangely buggy... I've never heard of that before. It might be the skin. try changing it use M2D customizer and see what happens.
Vito has finally released Winterface 1.3 mobile shell, with a second skin and full screen toggle. See here: Vito Winterface 1.3 Released
wow - I like this a lot - the only minor quibble is that the email notification does not seem to work.
I've had that before too. It was listed as fixed for this release. Did you send it to support yet?

I was a good boy and did so.
Hopefully they'll fix it so - I really like this program.
I dnt like it. Everyone is trying too hard to be like iphone. I love windows interface "we dont want to be iphone. We want to be different n better"

I doubt that was the thinking behind it as the current windows interface was designed about eight years before the iphone appeared...
I just think it's a lot simpler - a grid is the ideal format for a phone.
Unfortunately this version of Winterface seems to have introduced a host of new bugs. I've used it since v1.0 and each release has been fairly stable for me, this one not at all. Crashes, strange bugs limiting the number of icons per screen and icons randomly rearranging on restart, quirks with the lock/unlock feature... all experienced after a hard reset and not an update. Pretty bad, to the point I pulled it off my device until the bugs get quashed (I made my bug reports and was informed v1.3.1 is already underway). Also the new bright skin uses h-u-g-e buttons/icons and really limits usability in comparison to the dark skin.
Going back to 1.2 for now
Be aware that if you load 1.3 and take a look at the new white skin with the new huge buttons your buttons and screens will be rearranged. If you go back to the black skin they will NOT go back to the way you had them
email notification and vm notification seemed to be cross linked. Constant errors and program crashes. For the new skin and a few minor new features it is not worth the time to install.
I hate that whenever you open a program and then close it it closes winterface as well. I also don't like that you cannot change which programs are opened when hitting button (like calendar opening thumbcal or hitting the clock and open gAlarm) And When you add programs the icon styles never match (with any version of winterface)

To get Winterface back when you are viewing a different program, you don't have to close it but press Ok-button instead. This is the way Windows Mobile works. Anyway, you have that big Winterface button on your today screen to return to Winterface in a split second.
The programs launched by those buttons is determined by the default programs registered in your device I believe. When I use AgendaOne and set it as the default calendar program, this is the one that will show up when I tap the Calendar button.
I've been skinning my Winterface since version 1.2 thanks to the skins posted in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455254
I have been pushing for a "top bar" displaying notifications, time, signal, etc for awhile so I was excited to hear about the 1.3 release, however I think VITO failed by reducing the number of icons/page when the top bar is displayed rather than resizing them or squeezing them together a bit. Even though I very much wanted the top bar, I am forced to continue to use Winterface in full screen mode because of the poor allocation of screen space when the top bar is displayed.

Hey oVan - are you saying that when you click the interactive calendar icon (the one that shows the current date and how many appts you have) that you got it to open AgendaOne from its popup screen? I've been trying to get this icon to open ThumbCal and have had no luck at all.
I've set Thumbcal as default calendar, changed the calendar.lnk in the start menu to launch Thumbcal, created a calendar.exe (using mortscript) that launches thumbcal and put that in the Windows folder all with no luck.
Can you please confirm you have this functionality because I didn't think this was possible?
Thanks
Winterface freezes
Hi,
I try to use Winterface 1.3 in my HTC Wizard, but it was keep freezing my phone. I had to reset my phone at least 3 times everyday. I decided to remove 1.3 version and put the version 1.2 back and it's been working fine. Did anybody else experienced the same problem?
I was thinking it's be pretty slick to have a widget that displays your frequent calls on the home screen like the tab inside dialer, something that updates as your calls change, doesn't seem like it would be terribly difficult to code.
does something like this possibly exist already?

I know of a way to create a folder with favorite callers.....but not a widget
in contacts long press on contact place them in favorites.
long press homscreen create a folder pick starred contacts.
I was actually talking about the "frequently callerd" under the favorites. Those are changing all the time, so it'd be slick if you could have a widget that auto updates as well.
Hi all
Is there any way to have a widget or app shortcut that will send me straight into SuperNote (or another quality note app) with a new note open and ready to type into straight away? That would be be so handy. Currently have to launch SuperNote, select new, give it a name etc, before I can start typing. Need to be able to launch something that lets me start typing immediately.
Any thoughts on how this can be done, or other apps that will fit the bill?
Thanks
Gareth
For just a quick note that you type as opposed to write, I would just use evernote and put the widget on the screen. Just click the new note button (or voice note or picture note, etc..) and it opens up a clean new note for you.
I will give that a go thanks.
Any other suggestions welcome.
My only suggestion is the terminal. I.e. I have a vim running in dtach and use tmux (it's like screen), so when ever I am doing something, I can easily move to the "Notes" window (or run my notes script) annd scribble whatever; it goes into my "ScratchNotes.viki" and gets auto committed to git eventually.
For most people, just sticking a note on the home screen is more applicable.

I'm liking Evernote. Great suggestion thanks. However, I'd prefer a 1x1 widget size so that when tapped, it goes straight into a blank note. Evernote seems to have a 4x2 and a 4x1.
I'm picky I know but the quicker I can start typing the better.
If Evernote cannot do that is there another app you are aware that can? If I come across one that fits the bill I will post it here.
Yeah, I can't think of one that has just a 1X1 widget at this moment. I would just press the blank page icon with the "+" on it on the 4X1 widget to go directly to a new blank note. Not even catch has a single square widget that I know of...
What I would like is a note app that is as you describe along with the ability to directly handwrite (using my stylus or finger) instead of typing only...*shrug*
