Hi
I'm looking for some simple freeware that will display in icon form, SMS, MISSED CALL, and MAIL notifications, with number of msgs listed. Tapping on the icon will take you to the appropriate location.
Sounds simple, eh?
They were available it seems for older versions of WM (I have 6 pro) and smaller screens, but cannot find in VGA format to use as a today plugin.
ANy suggestions?
There are some shells that can do that, for VGA and QVGA, like HomeScreen++, rlToday.. and some others. you can download skins for them from the official websites. just look for them either here in the forum or in google.

Hi All,
Any recommendations on email software?
My primary use is receiving Yahoo news alerts as emails.
The news alerts are formatted as HTML. There is a list of headlines at the top of the page that act as links to an introductory paragraph and related image further down the page. That introductory paragraph has a link that will bring up the full article.
I am using ProfiMail right now and it handles things pretty well except for a one major issue and a few minor ones.
There is an option to change the font size but this only relates to the applications textual data, not to the content within the email.
When I read the emails the text is very small and I cannot enlarge it.
It handles mail pretty well and I could wish for a few minor features but not being able to increase the font size for the email pages is a major problem.
Any recommendations for email software for WM5 that can handle HTML reasonably and can control font size? Preferably one that can also use hard buttons for the menu's and possibly handle the display of the HTML internally rather than just pulling up a browser window.
I am using the HTA Wizard (Cingular 8125).
BTW, I do like ProfiMail but since I hit my 40's my eyesight just cant keep up with the tiny text which I mostly read while walking. In most other respects it is a very nice application.

hey not sure if you've guys have seen what apple have done with their iphone SMS, but i'm in love with that. does anyone know if theres an app that does something similar? i mean right now all my SMS's are just randomly organized by date, would love something where your given a 'instant messenger' kind of approach.
You're a senior member, you should know to search. There is a threaded sms cab here that works - I prefer to use the native Inbox application and will wait until 6.1 cooked which has threaded capabilities.

http://www.iphon.fr/public/periode2/iphone-sms.jpg
does anyone actually know if there is an app out there that does this?
I have used it with the Vox, it's not very stable and key presses do not match up properly, thus I don't use it.
There is no application that will do what you have posted in your screen shot. Wait until 6.1 is released out and perhaps it can be pulled out of the ROM and retro fitted.
ya thats what i'm hoping for. is the release date for 6.1 still april? or have they announced an earlier date?
There is an application and is called Extreme Text here is the link
"Extreme Text is the premier Threaded SMS Texting application. It allows you to view all of your Texts as separate conversations for each contact you SMS, much like an Instant Message Conversation. It also adds great features including emoticons, following links in the text, User Defined Text Support, Photo Contact Support, and more..."

ya thats what i'm looking for, but 15 bucks is a hefty price for a small app like that. I just read that WM6.1 will incoporate the iphone sms bubble 'chat' layout,just wondering when the release date for an official release is expected
The PPC guys have already began cooking 6.1 rom from a leaked Kaiser upgrade. We just have to wait for a smartphone upgrade and then we should be able to adapt it to the Vox
Hey, I'm looking for a program that will switch between Profiles (Silent/Vibrate/Normal/+user defined ones) automatically based on defined times AND on my calendar entries (also differently depending on the calendar entry)
I used to have Photo Contacts PRO, which did all of the above (and more it also had an automatic SMS reply option, and the profile could have exceptions for certain numbers)
Photo Contacts PRO seems to have stopped working with 6.1 (Gonzo) so /shrug
So my questions are:
1. Is it possible to get Photo Contacts working on 6.1 or
2. Is there a program out there that does a similar job with Profiles? I don't really use the Photo Contacts part of Photo Contacts PRO, just the awesome profile part
Any hints/Tips etc welcome
and the answer is CTscheduler
It accesses my calendar for timing as well? I read through the description and couldn't find that bit.
Tried installing it on my VOX and when I select the program it just gives me the "busy" circle quick, then doesn't do anything else... (same as Photocontacts actually) is something missing/setup wrong? (WM 6.1)
You may want to try AutoFlight. It does have these features.
Ok Autoflight works, but I don't really feel like rewriting all my appointments for the autoprofiles bit to work. (photocontacts just accepts ANY entry in the calender and not specially prepared ones
SPB Phone Suite (Don't know if it works for Smart Phones as well)
Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.
I was looking at some 'skinnable' 3.5" LCD clocks my supermarket is selling, and thought they'd be pretty good if they also showed you if you had unread email (ideally multiple accounts, POP & IMAP, either a count indicator or the headers, etc.) and/or RSS feed(s) (scrolling?).
Is something like this already available? (for a Universal running WM 6.1)
SPB Time/Shell looks nice, but (judging by screenshots) isn't full screen (you can still see the menu bar?) and doesn't have the kind of email and/or rss capabilities I was looking for. I've searched, but can't really find ANY clock app/screensaver that also displays email headers/feeds.
Is there a program to show full contact details on incoming call?... I'm not speaking about full screen photo... the photo is ok the WM standard size... I need company, job, office, department etc. info when receiving a call...
is it possible?
You probably have to use a third party dialer. Search this forum using google, or just do a google search, and see if you can find any.
threre are some but just a few with very limited options... I was hoping to alter the default WM incoming call screen... it shows name, number, photo... and from what i've seen even company... i need to have also department and job... is there a registry for this?
third party dialers are ruining my smooth WM experience by doubleing some steps or actions...
Not to my knowledge. You have to use a 3rd party application.
Not sure if this will do it but you can try the following
SPB Phone Suite
Resco Contact Manager
There are both paid version but you can download a trial and see if you like it or if it does what you require
Hope that helps
Thanks
