Hi guys, new to the WM6 environment and I was just wondering, having just got my Touch HD, is it possible to intergrate Touch Flo (as in its "Today's" abilities) with programs from 3rd parties like SPB.
I have SPB Shell, Phone Suite, Insight and together they work well, but this is in the abscene of Touch Flo..
I like bits of Touch Flo but would be happier if I could also have within it, some of the functionaility of the other programs.. does it have to be Touch Flo only or can they work together without fighting or robbing me of memory and stuff and if so how as I get the impression that Touch Flo would need to be broken into to achieve this.. cheers..

CAN ANYBODY GUYS HELP ???!!! I am looking for htc touch diamond for wizard.
Look Around...do You See Any Diamond For Wizard!!!!geeeez!!!
Don't be ridiculous, this phone cannot supported the nice 3d features(touchflo 3d) from Diamond...Save up some money and buy a tilt or a diamond or be happy with what you have......GOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew someone was gonna ask this question!!!!
have a nice day
the "Diamond rom will not fit on a wizard. it is too big. also the diamond is made for vga and not qvga(wizard) many of the apps are too difficult to reingeneer to be compatable with qvga, and the wizard's processor and ram will not run it well enough to be stable. Wizard has always been underpowered. maybe why it is probably the best device to test programs on... cause if it runs on a wizard it will probably run on just about anything!.
Alternative is HTC Home Diamond edition. But there ar other shells with a Diamond edition available
The TochFlo 3D is nice on the Diamond but his startup is very slow.
Diamond-like ROM
I can recommend JVDSpank's ROM - [02 Jun] WM 6.1 CE OS.19588 from Diamond - CLEAN *FAST!*
It's very quick and stable, and no-frills - there is no additional stuff. This does of course mean that you have to install all the programs you want (search on the forums!) or learn to cook your own ROM (search on the forums!).
Read the thread I linked to, and decide if this is what you want... It's what I am running at the moment, and I'm in the process of cooking a version containing all the apps I need...
I'll update my signature shortly to reflect this.
Hay all, first time so... be gentle.
So I've just got my grubby mits on the huge and amazing Toshiba TG01, this is the 4.1 inch, snapdragon running competitor to the iphone... I've got it on Orange in the UK (so it's all UK GSM, 3G and HSDPA radios here if it matters for support reasons)
Now the TG01's "stripe" interface looks... well fugly, no two ways about it.
Orange provide their own UI which is inspired by the PS3's I suspect, and it's usable, but does nothing once your deep in winmo 6.1 territory (contact lists etc)
I've tried to get TouchFlo 3D and 2D running on the device (including via throttle launcher) but to no joy....
Does anyone know how This Bugger managed it?
Have any of the truly genius coders here managed it on devices more powerful than HTC's (touchflo2D seem to be other way round) - or can anyone suggest alternative UI's till the winmo 6.5 upgrade roles round?
Cheers!

SPB Mobile Shell
Hey mate,
I have a TG01 and I am using SPB Mobile shell, its a shell on top on top of the OS, its about $30 but its head a shoulders above the crappy GUI's that come installed.

The TG01 will get an official WM6.5 upgrade.
I think the WM6.5 interface is pretty good, even without TouchFlo. So my advice is to just wait for the official WM6.5 upgrade, disable all of Toshiba's interface extensions and enable WM6.5 default home plugin (Titanium).
You can also try alternative interfaces like SPB Mobile Shell, Throttle Launcher, PoinUI etc. and alternative programs like Kinoma Play, Resco Photo Viewer etc.
Hi all, thanks for the advice, in the end I found PointUI and in turn PointSense which near perfectly reproduces the touchflo interface.
but I agree the winmo6.5 will really improve the phone, I belive toshiba planned to release it with 6.5 but MS's stalling meant that didn't happen.
Cheers again.
For those of you who have been working on early builds of Windows Mobile 6.5, I was wondering if you might know whether a program that was designed for WM5 (using the sidebar scrolling) can utilize the flick scrolling that I see working on the home screen for WM6.5. Does a program have to utilize this feature or is it native to WM6.5 so that any older program can use it? Thanks.
Not quite sure how the WM6.5 scrolling works, but I think it *should* make pages flick-scrollable (it seems acceptable for 2009...)
You can try out FTouchSL (www.ftouchsl.com), or SPB Pocket Plus (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus).
They both cost money.
Though I advise you to eventually upgrade to a newer phone, WM7 is coming up!
While I would like to wait for WM7, I need to update my old 8125 because the mini USB port broke and the RAM memory is too low to support certain programs. Programs such as Epocrates on the WM platform are still running with side bar scrolling (the interface on the iPhone is much nicer) and I'm wondering if finger scrolling would work even though Epocrates was made for scrolling using a Dpad (which many phones lack) or stylus friendly side bar scrolling. Esword is another program made the same way. Anyone try the early versions of WM6.5 with older programs that have such limitations?
I Have Recently Received A Touch Cruise 09 And Rather Than Getting The Conventional OS With Footprints And Other Stuff I Got One With Windows Mobile Professional 6.5, But Everytime I Download G-Sensor Software For It, It Doesn't Work I Looked Through The Windows Folder And The Drivers Call HTCTouchSensor But The Sensor The Apps Are Looking For Is Something Else Does Anyone Have Any Idea ON How To Get These Apps Working
Thanks
Greetings All,
I am a newbie to any sort of forum and I wish to express my thanks in advance for your help.
I have been a WM (HTC Tilt WM 6.1) user for 4 years. Just recently I have been having issues with my phone and I need to purchase a new phone, but I totally confused on what to purchase.
My Tilt has the following programs installed, that I use on a daily basis:
Voice Command, Note2Self, SPB Wallet, SK Tools, Skype, Handy Shopper, in addition to the WM Office suite.
These are the programs that work well for me and I am comfortable with.
My question is this>
Can a widows 7 Phone do all the above or do I find a used WM 6.1 or 6.5 phone…will I like WM 6.5 better?
Or dare I say it…an Android?
Since your a windows mobile user and I'm guessing your most familiar with that os I suggest the touch pro 2 or the HD2. The touch pro 2 because it's a user friendly device, nice sized keyboard and purely reliable. The hd2 is also a nice pick it has a 4.3in screen an extremely fast processor and the touch is pretty sensitive/similar to the iPhone. You can go to htc.com to check the specs and see what you like best.
These are both 6.5 wm capable phones and the HD2 can flash wp7. I personally like winmo over android because of office suite but android is not bad either.
thanks for the info...what does "flash wp7" mean?
The HD2 has a very active dev community and one of the things they have accomplished is to port other operating systems to the device. So you have a choice now between keeping it on the stock WM6.5, or 'flashing' an alternative OS like WP7 or Android.
If you bought one yourself you would have the added bonus of being able to use the apps that you are familiar with.
Thanks for your thoughts.
What about the new HTC Inspire...any thoughts?
