A fresh starter needs a some help, please - Touch Cruise General

Greetings,
I've started changing the interface of my HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) a few days ago using UltimateLaunch.
Now I'm scouting the forums to find new tips/tricks & answers to my upcomming questions but I'm not really a Technology dude so I'm kinda stuck..
What I would like to know is what application do you guys use to get buttons on the HTC home tab to turn on/off your bluetooth/wireless and even reset/turn off the device and what to use to change the icons..
Second, The s2u2.exe I use (iPhone lock) is somehow way to big for my screen, buttons are pushed over eachother and everything just looks....ugly, Is this a bug or am I just stupid?
Third...How can I show (current) weather and digital time in 1 tab at the same time?
Many thanks for those who bothered reading & answering these questions.

2. Most probably you have installed wrong version of S2U2.
For Polaris you MUST use QVGA version.

The QVGA version worked Perfectly, Thanks!
Anyone got any answers for the above questions?

HTC Home Vs O2 Today

Hi
I'm brand new here, and I'm hoping this question may have already been asked and answered but...
I have the new Orbit 2 and really much prefer the HTC Home to the o2 Today.
So I installed HTC Home and it works fine but...
I'm not able to control it in the same as this guy can with the TouchFlo...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5olemDlIRI
I'd like to be able to control it in the EXACT same way; I have UltimateLaunch but it doesn't seem to change the whole screen in the way the video does, just the bit at the bottom.
Am I missing some software?
Many, many thanks
Oliver,.
just bumping my question...
I would be very interested in this too as a new owner of an orbit2
Alfie, can you give me any pointers to the HTC Home app please?
The answer to this thread is actually extremely simple. Remove ALL today plugins except for ultimate launcher then add your HTC plugin onto a tab in UL, then create more tabs with icons and such, set the tab gestures to open/perform the desired tasks and lastly set the height of the ultimate launch plugin to be equal to your entire screen size. After you play around for a bit you will understand. Ultimate launch does not use touchflo, it has its own "touchflo" monitor. I have been using a setup like this for a few days now and am quite happy with it. if you search here in the developer section you will see some threads there for "the better cube", "questions about tabbed today" and others. read those and you will be quite happy.
My O2 Orbit2 did not come with HTC Home, any clues as to where I can get this please?

4.When it says your done and tap the screen to start WM get ready to reset
5. The absolute second you touch the screen hit the stylus reset.
6. When your device starts TF3d will NOT be in your today Items
7.Go to today settins and disable everything
8.Use file explorer to go to windows and find PT_Manila_Reg .cab and run it
9.Run MSFT_Security.cab
NOTE: The programs will not be organized in folder if you do this. Just a big Programs Folder

Q: TF3D is very slow and laggy. Sometimes it doesn't respond at all.
Install: Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 and enable various tweaks and also install Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7 and enable the various tweaks to make TF3D faster. If this doesn't work, flash a custom rom and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the links -- hope those programs help!
got another one.....
I get a popup keyboard alot... I installed the null keyboard and it helps but find the bottom bar popping up very annoying.
How do i get rid of that?
i tried a theme called vista ultimate which i liked alot but when i slide the keyboard out it doesnt go to the launcher screen it turns tf3d on its side but of course it doesnt work that way
how do we know which themes will actually work with our pro?
or how do i make the launcher come up with that theme
Good idea:
My Fuze is always connected via EDGE, even though I live in a 3G serviced area (San Francisco Bay Area). I'm assuming the phone is choosing the stronger of the two signals by default, which is fine for voice, but EDGE is excruciatingly slow for streaming video. Is there a way to force the phone to use the 3G connection?

A lot of the diamond themes wont work on the Fuze in landscape mode. I think that Vista Ultimate is one of Nisse's themes so maybe send him a message and see if he has a version for the Fuze.

Make note in the skip the bloat that they must also install the HTC_PPC_opera_9 cab from windows if they want the internet tab of tf3d to work.
Q: The original TF3D theme is ugly! How can I change it without flashing the rom?
As Kraize said most you can find in the thread he linked. However, so far none of the background changing mods have worked foe me. It completely breaks TF3d. I think it will take a few days to figure out this versions backgrounds.
MODS please sticky this. Its already getting insane with Fuze posts.
Has anybody tried to see if they can get the phone unlocked to be used outside of the united states, or to be used on another carrier?
Q: How to enable and keep HSDPA? Or am I the only one with this issue?

Olipro will unlock it for a small fee. See the sticky in the raphael rom development forum.

I downloaded the TF3D config tool on the diamond thread and the HTC Black Theme posted elsewhere and it worked for me. One thing i did notice is that the splash screen with the AT&T logo didn't appear. Looks much better than the AT&T theme...
FUZE and VIsta WMDC need help
Just got my fuze last night. Tried installing the software on my laptop - for some reason the WMDC does not recognize the device. Evey time I hook up the fuze the laptop tried to install a driver. NOw my 8525 doesn't work with the laptop too! Any help sorting this all out would be greatly appreciated. I mainly need to get my contacts from the 8525 (running WM5) to the Fuze.
Thanks
Kriaze, Thank you so much for starting this thread. This is going to be so helpfull to all us new Fuze owners. This is why XDA is the GREATEST for us HTC users.
So many thanks to EVERYONE...

I joined this site just for the release of the Fuze/Touch Pro although I'm waiting for Black Friday to purchase. I have 2 questions for those that already have it:
Does the Fuze come with the USB-headphones like the Touch Pro?
If not, would the one from Sprint work?

It does not come with the headphones but does come with an adapter to allow you to use 2.5 and 3.5mm headphones of your choice. It also allows the fm radio to work just fine.
Edit: and yes the sprint headphone will work. They are just the generic htc usb headphones/headset.
Sashimi?
Forgive me as it has been a long time since i have been a part of these forums. When i was using my tilt around the time 6.1 official came out i had sashimi set up perfect for post flashes. I just got my sashimi folder back to where i wanted it to install on the FUZE yet it is erroring out due to screen resolution sizes. Does anyone know if a new version was released to support the vga devices or did this die with the author being banned.... Thanks for the help!

Stopping Today Screen and Home Screen in Shell From Rotating

I hope have not overlooked an answer to this question, and I appologize if so. I spent some time searching and did not locate any threads.
My question is, I am running SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 and Gyrator2.
I have Gyrator working fine in all areas that I have desired except for 1.
I am trying to find out how to get my home screenI In Shell) to stop rotating. When I exit shell and use the today screen (touch flo) the same thing happens.
Also, how do you adjust the screen rotation sensitivity? If i even slightly tilt my phone-it will rotate to landscape. It does not happen every instance.. but often enough to cause much frustration.
I would so appreciate any insight into this, and would be glad to make a donation on the behalf of anyone who could help!!
Thank you....Eagleland
I have the same problem with spb 3.5.5 and mskip pro plus wp7 theme
I hope someone has the answer
Sorry for my bad english.I am from hellas
Hey!
You need to find a program "Advence Config" or something that...
There was this option - you can switch on or switch off
Or maybe it was in "TF3D conf"

[Q] Animated transitions in windows mobile/sense 2.5?

Hi everibody, so sorry to post a question where it's not allowed but the Q&A section for windows mobile doesn't exist anymore, so I didn't know where to post it.
I am an HD2 owner and for me it's simply perfect with windows mobile, the only thing is that in WM 6.5 and in sense 2.5 there are no smooth and fluid transitions. Don't know if I explained well what I mean. For example in Iphone, android or in any other new OS when I swipe left or right on the screen, the elements move gradually out of the screen and the new one enter gently. In Manila 2.5 no, there is a gap unless you use the manila . Is there a way to make this happen? The same thing when I press the start menu or when I turn the phone in landscape mode, or when I unlock it. I think that the lack of animated transitions make the OS look much older than it is.
Please, I'm asking a last effort to make this system awersome...
as you are using manila 2.5 the nearest to your request is Co0kie Home Tab 2.0. Then you can get in your home tab 7 screens to slide left & right, and 4 levels to slide up & down, and even put some widgets on it.
Other option is MaxSense, but never tried myself. I think you would need to flash a rom with Maxsense as is not provided as .cab
If you wish to try Co0kie 2.0 and need further help post question in the CHT thread.
Thank you for the reply =)
yeah, I'm actually using the HD2O rom with CHT and I noticed that there is the possibility to use widget in the home screen, but I was thinking of something more integrated in the system...for example I found WinStart (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935808): this is an app that replaces start menu and adds the kind of animations for windows I was looking for. Unfortunately I found this program a little too buggy (some icons disappear and many icon names are changed) and very slow I hope it could be possible to continue in this direction, because I think that the idea is good, but in my opinion it isn't developed properly (those animations could be integrated in a cooked rom probably) and have a similar program for Manila too. It would be simply wonderful.
Of course those are only my suggestions, but I know that nobody would develop any further for windows mobile something like this because this OS is considered dead, but I still love it more than any newer one.
I'm using an energy ROM with CHT & find it very fluid for all functions really & far more flexible than iphone & a lot better looking than Android & many functions less clicks to access.
For the hardware spec of the phone & slow official development WM was & actually still is very very good, if you look at layout of Android & compare it to WM6.5.3 you will see a lot of copying by cheeky Google ...
I need viber software for hd2 plz help me
I need viber software for hd2 plz
Windows Mobile does have animated transitions, but they're generally disabled, as they're slow and ugly.
You can still get them back using the registry (I can find that for you), but you'll probably regret it.
BTW, as my much esteemed colleagues said already, HTC Sense and Co0kie's Home tabs extension prvide pretty nice animations and sliding screens already.
