Free calculator with BIG KEYS??

Hey guys,
Does anyone know of a calculator for WM5 that has nice, BIG keys?
Thanks guys!
Dax.

Try gCalc
You can even change the skin

There's also 1-Calc Lite. It was offered as freeware by Microsoft at one time, but I don't see it on their site any longer and it's no longer on Omega One's site, either.
So, I've attached the install file and some screenshots.

Thanks OldSap!!
All the best,
Dax.

Thanks Newbie2!
Those fullsize keys look great to use.
tyvm,
Dax.

1-Calc Lite doesn't installed on my WM6 PPC
I unzipped the installer and I tried to install the 1-Calc Lite.exe on my Hermes. It failed and returned the message that the "CalcLiteOL' is not a valid Pocket PC application. Does this app works for WM6 Professional? It's a shame if it doesn't. The app is very useful and usable.

My mistake
Oops. Silly me. Found out how to install the app after all. That it needs to installed from a PC.

I'm running it on my 8125 with one of the WM6 TouchFlo ROMs. It's installed to my storage card and works without missing a beat. Even when I feel the urge to feed my flashing addiction, I never have to worry about reinstalling it. . . . probably the most useful calculator/conversion app I've run across.

Thanks very much. You were right. I missed that.

Thanks its a really good calc

I use CALC98 .

What I like it's the way we can configure almost everything :
-How many row options, the button size , font size..
I used since I had my old IPAQ 6515 and it's working very well on My Omnia II (WinMo 6.5)

Real VGA that works! (tested on LAurentius' and beast's AKU 0.5 (v1 update)

after searching and searching for possible resource files for an ozVGA hack... i accidentally stumbled upon a VGA hack from somewhere in the forums... didnt know it will work but just tested it anyhow...and wow! first time i was able to appreciate real VGA in all its glory... no more missing icons or displays...
important!!! i am not the author of this software... i just found it and would like to share it to my current family (UNiversal).... hehe!
all credits go to the author, tobias.waldvogel in the athena forums! cheers! you made a working REAL VGA program! finally!!!!
what is good about the program:
1) you can choose 96, 128 or 192 dpi settings
2) all icons/notifications/etc can can be seen
3) texts in the today bar are all present! (signal, battery, clock, volume, etc)
4) now you can use the htc home plugin with no problem! (in REAL vga)
5) very very minor font issues
***I am not liable for hard resets! i just want to share! if you're not sure what you're doing, maybe you should wait for other people to try it first and wait for their opinion on this software
sorry for 1 link only... i cannot upload it here... tried about 4 times already..

Excellent find ! Works with my old trusted Darkforce rom. These threads are indeed a treasure trove. Keep finding excellent software.

Great software, thanks mate! Works with Midget_1990 v1.0!

Yup, confirmed working & stable in Uni after 3 days of use. HTC Home now displays better although notification counts still cut-off/partially hidden at 128 dpi. Most progs are compatible except in my case 1-calc.
Credit should be given to: tobias.waldvogel of Athena forum here at XDA-Dev on the thread pointed out above by fallenczar!

I'm interested to learn about the application of real-VGA.
Why we will be needing real-VGA where we have high resolution in PIE...?

been following the development of this app from the athena forum and this latest release is really impressive.
the original thread is vga 144. thanks to tobias.

My GOD!!!!It becomes qtek 9000 screen beautiful!!!!
Incredible work!!

First of all congratulations ranju for the nice ROM (judging from the posts in your thread)!
With RealVGA we get to use HTC Home Today plugin which doesn't display well in QVGA. A lot of today screen space is also realized as well as getting to see a lot more on the screen on other VGA-aware progs. The drawback is when non VGA-aware programs are run, the fonts (& icons) are veeery small to be read/seen.
Can't comment on games as I don't use mine for that kind of stuff, but some say that VGA games are cool in Real VGA!

can someone post the cab file here? it keeps bumming me saying the rapidshare download limit has reached
thanks in advance!

I got an error: using higher resolutions, if I would like to set alarm, got error message: "No program memory available...".
Switch back to 192dpi everything is working normally.

YES! I also got this error!
And I found some error about Windows Live, the icon of MSN Messeger are wrongly displayed.
offiline logo = online
DND logo = offline

I've just downloaded and installed this file, and let me thank you for this.
And... Here is my two cents, i just wanted to share my experiences on how programs behaved in this mode.
The icons at SPB Today plugin doesn't display.
The Task manager icon is corrupted and is hard to click on it.
I've resetted my PDA twice since i installed this and both resets required another reset since it stuck at windows logo.
When i opened VC Painter.. well, it kinda crashed and i had to reset.
I've opened Pocket Artist, it works well except the icons at the toolbar can not be seen unless you click and wait on over them.
Opera seems better this way, you really enjoy browsing in fullscreen. Well, at least whilst opera "can" open web sites as it's supposed to be. I still am struggling for using meebo.com.
Minimo, the browser that i could barely have had any surfing experiences since it drives me crazy, is worse than Opera at browsing but works at RealVGA mode, well... kinda! (It crashed again when i tried opening a website.
The dialer skin doesn't fit the screen good enough. It has a blank space at down as big as the "Hide Keypad - Menu" bar is.
In this mode, viewing photos is a feast since you can view them in their original resolutions.
Resco Audio Recorder application denies the screen res. and tries to open like it was in back. It feels like they've coded their program to fill the screen according to ratios. Looks bad.
Wohoo! Keepass looks fantastic!
Novii Remote doesn't run at this screen resolution... *sniff*
pTravelAlarm's skin looks like crap, pity...
psShutXP feels more like real,
Voice2Go behaves just like Vito Audio Notes,
There're some minor font issues when i was exploring settings...
Oh and, it drains memory!

hi dreamtheater... i also had the same problem before...
i think these are the files i used for the htc home plugin....
htc home plugin: rt HTC home 2.0
htc home plugin customizer: HHCv08b.cab
this home plugin is the one with the 6 tabs... you can enable this using the customizer... you can also change the clock skins, icons, etc.
makes your home plugin look even better...
no other requirements except that you must be in wm6 for this particular plugin i posted (and in realVGA to get correct display).... i know i read somewhere that they were able to make a Cab to make the htc home plugin run on a wm5 device...

Free apps for LGKS20??

Fav Apps
Hi All,
Just got a phone from korea Which is very cool!
I was wondering if there any cool or new app that can run on my phone.
My phone is a LG KS20........touch screen.
Any advice really appricated!
Thanks,

i heard there is a free app called google search. It is fun, painless, and most of all free!!!!
I found some free apps for your phone see HERE
Now you can search and find some too

You've got yourself a Windows Mobile phone - congratulations.
There's a plethora of free apps for WM out there, and Google will indeed point them out for you. You need to read around (a lot) and try them out (a lot). Always remember to note the forum rules.
Most of the apps from this site should work on your KS20 - should, because a) this is an XDA site after all and some apps & mods will be XDA-specific, and b) the KS20 doesn't support all WM apps as well as it should. Look out for dedicated LG or KS20 forums - I know there are a few.
Btw, I gave my KS20 back six months ago because of a battery bug, because audio output in satnav apps doesn't work and because support for a few important other WM apps is poor. These bugs have turned up all around the planet - it's all there in the forums, but I didn't know that before I bought mine. It's a nice sleek device with a good touch screen, but it just didn't work for me. If they haven't managed to put that right yet, and if you can still give it back to the vendor, you might consider getting - well, an XDA.
N.

This belongs in the Questions and Answers thread. Almost everything should work on your phone if its running WM6. Might wanna check the resolution on the programs before you download them and any other prerequisites

Lgks20
Lol oppsss......i sorry
i am new to this site
Yeah.....OMG this site is the man
lol
i have an iphone theme on my phone already and i am trying to find more app to put on my phone
i want GAlarm on my phone, but i trying to find one,but i can't (help)
And a website would be helpful guys Thx
i just new to this website and having trouble finding what i need

I have the same phone... its windows mobile, that means there are thousands of apps
But you should check out fingermenu that's great...
i can give you a few tips though... dont expect to run too many graphics heavy apps like PointUI Home 2 or winterface it just cant handle them, LG forgot the drivers
it can handle SPB shell and PointUI Home 2 though so some works...
also keep you proof of purchase near might just be me unlucky but ive had mine on service two times in less than six months, on time i got a battery bug the status wouldnt update always 100% and the battery time was very short too... and now the screen got yellow spots on it so service again
just look trough these forums every now and then and you will find plenty of great apps

Theme
I have a problem.....
can someone tell me how to put themes on Lgks20????

Ring Once AND Vibrate

Hi
Ive got a TD2, running Tess 3.3
My old Nokia N95 had an extremely useful profile called Meeting. It basically rang once and kept on vibrating. This is very useful in the office. My TD2 can't do this.
Is there any way that this can be done through a setting, or is there a CAB available, or is someone willing to write a CAB like this
Thanks guys

Try Spb Mobile Shell

Thanks for the quick reply, but I dont find Mobile Shell quite as nice as TF3D 2.1 (even the new Mobile Shell 3.5) Also a high battery drain, or is that just me
I guess its down to a personal preference. I was hoping for a CAB installation

G-Profile, a free app by Ageye has quite a few options concerning phone profile. Maybe you can have a look at it.
Look here.
Hope this helps.

..you don't really need a tool for this. Its a simple change in the registry. Have a look here and here

that's what I was thinking of...but then he will always get this kind of ring unless he switches to,let's say, vibrate+ring

HTC Sense & SPB Mobile Shell.

Does anyone know of a method of switching between these two shells on the HD2? It seems to me it's impossible to get Sense to run without uninstalling SPB, which seems a bit ridiculous to me. I like both interfaces and would like to choose one or the other depending on my mood.

Yes, I have the same problem with my htc hd and spb shell 3.5
anybody found a solution?

Especially given the fact that some apps are actually integrated into Sense, and once disabled, you are unable to access or use them!

Unfortunately, No.
It seems that SPB mobile shares resources (classes) with HTC sense. Once SPB mobile is installed, SPB mobile overwhelms HTC sense. Either SPB Mobile or HTC sense, not both.
I use SPB mobile and Leo.
It's a pity. Many functions of HTC Leo cannot be used then. So, if you love HTC sense, don't use SPB mobile; if you desperately want SPB mobile, don't buy Leo.
I think the burden should be on SPB. It is their responsibility to develop interface software that compatible with their target.
Unfortunately, they have not taken this responsibility.

yeah true... i think someone tried to map the left softkey to spb home but that didnt work either. At least we have some form of switching for the time being.

Yes, you are right, I was wrong. I am happy that I was wrong!
I tried. It works. The solution is quite simple indeed, surprisingly. Many thanks for the amazing solution.
I searched official forum of SPB but no solution is presented there. People on that forum discussed and all despaired at last. So I thought Spb and Sense cannot live together.
Someone wrote in this forum that s/he still uses HTC because there is XDA-developers. I join his/her comment.

SPB has been good as gold as has sense (only time sense ever lags is when it loads upon startup).
In fact if you install Chainfire's revamped graphics drivers for Leo, SPB works with 3D acceleration on which it didnt do without the patch!

Seriously, download the trial. Don't just buy it before trying it. I downloaded the trial and instantly loved it, but went off it after a couple of days. I just prefer Sense (we're all different!)
Get the trial first

Good idea Didn't realize it was shareware. I installed it and don't seem to miss anything (that I needed) so can someone please tell me what is not working with SPB Mobile Shell, because obviously I'm either blind or stupid or just don't need the functions that are lost when using SPB vs. Sense.

With HTC HD we could switch between the interface without disabling either. But with Sense it's impossible, I tried all I could and when I switched to SPB, Sense came automaticaly back after launching any apps. So the solution is installing SPB and deleting the shortcut SPB which is in Windows/Start and then go to the settings and Today and then you choose Windows Today and not Sense, then you can launch SPB mobile shell.

The program places a link in root/windows/Start Menu/Programs.
If you have a ROM in another language than English, the folder 'Start Menu' may be named otherwise. E.g. in Dutch it is called 'Startmenu/Programma's'.
Solution: copy the link to the appropriate start folder.
After the move or copy you 'll find the program in Start.
