Hi there,
I'm looking for 3 applications for my prophet. so this is a "recommend me" post.
in your opinion:
What's the best mp3 manager and player.
What's the photo viewer.
What's the best "X-button" like app. I've seen the one used on TNT5 pro and I really like it(touch skin) do you know what that is?
I really what these to be very finger usable and touch like(photo zoom via touch flow etc.)

Most people tend to stick with the basic apps when it comes to these three categories, especially since the memory can go to more useful and exciting programs such as skype, games, and other neat programs
mp3 manager and player : audio manager is great just because you can make playlists and also trim a song for a ringtone although it takes up alot of program memory. TCPMP is nice because it'll play almost any format you put in front of it but it doesn't look as nice as audiomanager.
photo viewer:what are you trying to do that windows picture viewer can't do. for some more advanced options try resco photo viewer
x-button: the new x-button from htc is pretty cool. It looks nicer than v1.5. I am told there is a bug where pressing x will not close the program, you would hav to use click and hold (i use that anyway.) The main reason I like the new task manager is that you can close the programs from the home screen just by pressing right on the d-pad after bringing up the xbutton menu.

Good calls. I use audio manager for now. Ill try resco photo viewer although I don't think i'll have the usability I'm looking for...
as for x-button I have htc x-button but it looks regular, not the big buttons. How do I change that?

1. gsplayer(and no i WON'T argue with others, period),
2. resco pict viever(could say xnviev..but nope..resco is best..),
3. pbar(x-button, bs module, suxx, and i mean it), inclose mobile is right behind, its better, than pbar, but WAY bigger.
OT: touch soft and cube stuff suxx(on wizard, at last..).

Thread moved. In the future, please try and keep new threads in their appropriate forums.

I found the close button i was looking for: htc task manager.

[Discuss] JustMe - 4 flavors (formelly Just2Stuffed) [Update 06/23/08]

UPDATE 06/23/08
I'm having some issues with a few things. As usual, time is amongst them. In any case, the LZX version is just too slow for my taste... but maybe it's because I've been using a small pagepool with it.
In any case, attached is a teaser. It's the today screen that I've been waiting for.
As far as bugs go:
LZX version: Will not display the proper XIP version. I had a problem with the LZX compression and had to use one of Aserg's LZX ROMs as a skeleton on to which to graft the ROM. This worked but introducted this issue. I'm assuming that it's an issue with the cecompr.dll used and that Aserg had hex edited the XIP number unto the imgfs.bin.
All the "full versions" That today screen is not Landscape compatible so you will not see it properly when in landscape mode and in the today screen. Also, the background interferes with the start menu's functionality. I'm working to fix that now, though. Although, it's time for sleep...
Hey guys. Just messing around with a possible full ROM (as supposed to my usual stripped ROMs.) For now, it's based on the Diamond ROM.
It has the following so far:
Arcsoft 4 (I'm having some problems with 5... my MMS stopped working, even though they work with Just2Clean.)
Custom looking HTC Home 2.1 with proxy patch for those who use it on Tmobile's network - This is changing into something else... You'll see it when the author posts it.
Big start menu icons
Big X-Button Icons
black calculator - (My ROM users know I don't ever include calculators. lol)
PocketXpdf
TMPCP
Office 6.1 + OneNote
PHM RegEdit
Advanced Config
Audio Manager
Battery Status - This will be PART of the today screen...)
Esmertec Jbed + OperaMini 4.1 (4.1 was not buggy, the newer Esmertec I was using with it was. This is a stable version.)
HTCAlbum
Internet Sharing
TotalCommander (newest version I believe)
VoiceNotes (something else I tend to remove... I'm not sure if I'll keep it...)
NETCF v3.5
RandomAccess
Oxios Hibernate/CloseApp
This will come in 4 flavors at first.
1. Standard JustMe
2. LZX JustMe - A little slower, but with much more space due to the LZX compression.*
3. A UPX'ed version - Adds a little more speed and storage, but not as much as LZX.
4. A Just2Clean variant with LZX compression. Basically, the 70MB free one.
I MIGHT add a 5th version, a 'la Ttran's biggy if people tell me what they want in it.
*LZX compression is giving me a strange bug that causes the wrong WinCE version to show under the about tab.

The list looks good ivan... only things i wouldn't like would be Total Commander and PHM Regedit, since i use the excellent Resco File explorer which includes both functionalities in 1 app
Btw... speed & Voice dialing would be nice to be included ??
Thanks again for your hard work!

Speed & Voice dialing - Agreed
TotalCommander can also edit the registry, but I prefer using PHM Regedit. Resco is great, I agree, but it's not free, so I can't cook it in. I might make a version like this, though... might.

Your ROM looks very interesting may I suggest adding HTC RandomAccess to your ROM to make it handier browsing through the contacts.
Estimated time of release?

i would use this , i agree with gambit, too... icontact or something for contact browsing would be nice. other than that, it seems to meet all my necessary apps, nothing more, nothing less.

Oh I forgot to mention that was added, too. lol
EDIT: OK... the letter images that appear in the center for randomaccess are broken, so I'm gonna have to fix that, too... Thanks for reminding me, though, or I would have never caught that.
EDIT2:
Estimated time: Whenever I get to it. I'm a perfectionist, and I tend to have too many projects going on at once... plus I rarely have time to mess around with things... and I'm very disorganized... sooooo.... soon. lol
I have a working version that I may be able to fix by tonight... So sooner than I even thought maybe...
Which reminds me... I have to update my signature. Make it J2C, J2S and kitchen and maybe a bigger donate button.

Out on a limb
I know HTC Home is kind of a standard for Today Screen, and I used it for a while.....but, I'm kind of liking the functions of BS. It doesn't take as much power or space and I can configure it with a little HTML.
I started using it shortly after flashing J2C and really like the space. Plus I have more space on the SD for music, since I'm not using HHC now. Just a thought. I sent a screen shot of my modified Aurora theme. I'm running BS with rlToday for the clock, Weather panel, both integrated in BS, and "BS Home" for the bottom buttons.
I also like Network Folders cooked in (runs smoother).
Does TCPMP include plug-ins?
That's my two cents ........

wm5torage
perhaps a program that most people don't use...but it does benefit me personally, since it lets me use the phone as a removable usb drive at work...where I can't install activesync...so that i can transfer files as need be...and occasionally use portableapps, like portable firefox through the removable drive...since the work network won't allow users to install software on the computer.
wm5torage is a fairly small program, so it shouldn't take up too much room...

PIM Backup
for those that might flash every so often, but don't connect to outlook to sync, PIM Backup is a great way to backup contacts, sms', and calendar info...

Actually, I'd be ALL for it if you can provide me with the needed files. I've been looking for something like this, and although I'm good at making things work, I'm not good at making them look pretty. ^_^
Is the weather panel proxy compatible?
If it is, this will be great!
Network Folders?
As far as the plugins, it will. The version I have on it right now is a place holder until I can find a more decent package, though.

I back up everything through an exchange server, so normally I wouldn't use PIM backup... I might add it depending on the size of the program.

@ batterystatus = of course best APP ever...still don´t understand why people use HTC HOME

@pimbackup...why to include...just put pimbackup.exe on SDcard...and run manually from tim to time...

All I have are the cab files. I've been reading a lot of the post in the Prophet forum for BS themes. prscott1 has quite a few different themes up and knows this a lot better than I do.
I'm sorry I misspoke earlier, I did mean networkplugin; HTC or Schaps. They both seem to work fine. Schaps is just 5K smaller as a cab.
This is where I got most of it. I just use weather panel in place of using UL as a plugin. I really can't take credit for someone else's work. I did a little rewriting of the HTML for the bottom buttons though.
Weather Panel does have an option for proxy settings.
Just what you need....another project.

It's easy, and compared to what you get with a stock ROM it's the next best thing to sliced bread. Battery Status bakes, slices, and toasts the bread.

HTC home is easier to setup and it's buttons are big enough for my fingers... but if you want to help me setup a working HTC clone with batterystatus that does what I need it to do and has big buttons, by all means, tell me.

This is the HTCHome BS theme. It's the same theme I'm running on my previous post just different lines showing. The message buttons are included and can be changed just by tap and hold on them.
I've attached the latest BS and the HTCHome theme, the HTCHopmeskin and the XML file are placed in the BS folder and the HTC Home files are placed in the \windows dir. It basically is editing the XML file to point to the progs you want to use. most of it is set for you. The on thing is the weather tab and the prog tab. I've seen a few setups with UL and as you can see I have it as an option in my setup.
Hope this helps. Keep up the excellent work.

I used that theme for a while, and I really like it. Using BS for themes is a bit easier, assuming you know how to edit the .xml theme. I second using BS instead of HTCHome, more customization.

Looks, maybe I will use it when it is released Still no success with the kitchen and your j2c files
I would trash this:

That's the list so far since I'm at work and can't mess around with it. As you can see it's a semi stripped ROM. No games, but things that I use on a daily basis have been added. All this and you still get 50MB+ of storage free. This is mostly a "I use it, it goes into the ROM" kind of ROM so far, but let me know what you'd like to go into it and you think should be removed and I'll think about making those changes happen. Remember, it depends on whether I also believe it's a useful app or not.

sounds like an incredible ROM! I am more of a BatteryStatus / Mortscript fan than I am of HTC Home, but I do like the touchflo scrolling. I would still enjoy trying your stuffed ROM. there are soo many great BS themes available now - some imitations of WM7, iphone, etc. I have added Ultimate launch recently (mainly for apps launching) so I have a BS/UL combo that is driving my latest themes. I'll post some screen shots when I have a chance (at work now) to see if anyone is interested.
Edit: I'm uploading a few screenshots of my latest (and colorful) BS theme that has UL, todayagenda, searchtoday and RSSNews integrated within.
first, second and third screenshots are the clock page with various rows showing.
fourth, fifth and sixth screenshots show some of my UL sides and cube in action.
I've been in a colorful mood lately.

The only thing I would require out of a BS theme would be the message indicators which I use quite heavily. I know that pappamopps uses them, so maybe he can add them to this BS theme being as nice as he is.

I'm on for this too if you remove remote desktop cuz I think it's useless! I would keep the voice notes though since it's kinda funny sometimtes to record sth with the phone...I'm exactly searching for something like this with the newest build since I have most of the apps in a folder called cabs on my wing Cuz in my opinion everyone needs different progs but this sounds like a good base to build a customized ROM on!

[Tweak] Improved 3D performance

The 3D driver of the Samsung Omnia was extracted and posted here on the Kaiser forum a few weeks ago. I decided to give it a try and it's amazing.
Mobile Shell is a lot more fluid and TF3D is more fluid (especially scrolling).
Grab it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416474

I'm installing as we speak will post results tomorrow

I don't find it any faster... I think the speed in scrolling speed is because it skips some frames and when performing upward gesture in Home screen the clock animation lacks a bit.
However a couple of VGA games I tried seems better now...

I thought the same thing, but these drivers seem to pump up performance.

spb animations seem better to me as well.

Just try the also provided Omnia 3D examples and you will see that the drivers make your 3D performance slower!
TDO

Agreed ive also tried this driver (whilst developing the elite stuff) and found performance to be reduced, a simple benchmark in TCPMP/Coreplayer will show this.
Delve deeper if you feel like it with spb-benchmark as I havent looked at it yet, the TP and Diamond have thier own drivers already cooked into the ROMs so there really isnt any need afaik. Perhaps on other devices it may make a difference so dont rule out it improving devices like the kaiser or polaris for example.

A simple software based renderer can render AMAZING 3D images .... sacrificing speed surely the intention of a tweak is to improve quality without slowing down the FPS and vice versa??

I've put my touch pro with this drivers head to head with a diamond with the HTC's drivers. All samsung 3D demos run with the same speed on both devices, but the quality on Touch Pro was much better. The tiger was more realistic, you couldn'see the lighting in the Lighting demo in Diamond and you couldn't read anything in the 3d Text. Billboard however run slower (a lot slower) on touch pro...
I don't know ofcourse how trustworthy are this results, as samsung demos should work better with samsung drivers.

And let's not forget that Qualcomm is Samsung after all.
Wouldn't surprise me if they release better drivers for their inhouse machines.

nice reviews ...
if only we could find a general type of tests to perform, then we could deduce or conclude much better for the 2 drivers ...

I have the impression everything runs a bit smoother with these drivers. e.g. scrolling within resco explorer...

Ok, ran some more test.
- Uninstalled the drivers, softreset
- Mobile shell gets choppier again, really the difference is there, the animation of the "cubes" coming out is a lot smoother with the drivers installed
- Scrolling trough "pictures" in TF3D goes slower
- Scrolling trough "programs" in TF3D is slower (not the "all programs" but in the shortcuts)
- 3D test apps, everything running smooth but in lower quality, text not readable on the 3D text and lights not visible on the "lights" app.
- Reinstalled the drivers, softreset
- Mobile shell animations a lot smoother
- Scrolling trough pictures and programs, again smoother, the menus of TF3D come up smoother too.
- 3D test apps: Billboard going slower, the rest smooth and higher quality, lot more details. Overall nicer looking. Text readable on "3D text" and light visible on the "lights" app
So if i get this right: these drivers seem to enable better 3D software acceleration and that works well as long as the hardware is able to cope with it?
Another thing: it's been over a day and untill now i had no "broken glass" error, which i usually have almost every day when i work with TF3D enabled. Could someone confirm this? Edit: Broken glass still appearing.

Ok, i've tried alot of things now and I simply cannot confirm that this works.
I can confirm that, yes SOME of the 3d tests done above does seem to look better (not faster), except the Billboard one which is super slow (and looks the same).
I've fiddled with fatfs cache settings, file system cache filter settings and now this driver.
I have NOT noticed ANY difference in speed AT ALL.
But TF3D is pretty smooth anyway, so it doesnt really bother me.

what problem do you have?
does it install ok?

I couldn't get it to work. I lost my sound after installing. I think I tried the solution from another XDA forum, but I can't find it now. There are registry tweaks to go with it, but as I say, I couldn't get it to work. I have a stock rom 6.1 version. Can you give us a clue Rumpeforeskin how you got it to work please? It does produce excellent sound IF you can get it to work, but there is usually some kind of problem to go with it.
I installed it before on my Diamond (1) and it didn't work in the touch flo music player, but worked in others... Very weird....

maybe there are different versions of 1.21 going around. i can upload the version i use. which worked fine after installation and did not require any registry edits.
i should be back at my home pc this evening and can upload it then

I have the files on my sd card
one file installs wow and the control panel needs to be unzipped and copied to your windows folder.

Hi Rumpleforeskin,

Whats the difference in sound quality like then with this? Alot better or not much?

I used to have this on my Diamond 1 and it was a huge improvement. To be honest, the Diamond 2 has a much improved sound quality than the Diamond 1 to start with. However, this programme does improve it still further. I think it also gives more options to get the sound quality YOU want, instead of being limited by the Audio Booster (glorified graphic equaliser). If you don't like it you can always either uninstall it or even turn it off!
Whilst it has worked perfectly for me, I would recommend you back-up your stuff first as this programme can be problematic in my experience if your rom doesn't suit.

srs wow greatly improves sound on small outputs (such as headphones) it makes the sound alot fuller.
Its hard to explain, but it adds a nice depth to the sound. plus it has a pretty good technique for boosting bass (or at least making it sound like there is more bass).
It does have 2 drawbacks though, firstly it takes quite a bit of fidling with the mysterious named settings to get the sound just right. Secondly no matter what combination of settings it always seems that you cannot boost the sound in the middle of the spectrum, meaning sometimes vocal parts of a track do not sound quite as strong as they could. But if you use core player you can fix this with the equilizer

A ROM with a different purpose ?

At present I'm using trhe newest Energy ROM. Nice work.
I just wondered if there was any ROMs made for easy of visual use.
I'm a but long in the eye now and find using the phone sometimes a strain on my eyes. Age and all that
The Energy ROM is very good but I probably only use about 1/20th of the apps and stuff it loads. Some of the ones it installs I don't even know what they do
I would love to see a ROM made for vision clarity, bigger fonts and more simple but just as useful front screens.
Is there any of the cooks that can advise me on this ?
Thanks

maybe it's not a rom, but a software that you need, like point ui : http://www.wm6software.net/utilities/pointui_1_5.html
not the lame 2.0 which tries to do exactly the same as touchflo, spb etc, but the 1.5, which was very very eye and finger friendly, especially on small screens like the one on touchpro, with big icons, big texts, big lists etc..

so can I get a ROM with none of this HTC touch slide screen and Sense, maybe just a really basic front end.

well I've installed that app, started it and all I get is a blue blob start up screen than nothing happens.

Rom
If you are looking for a simple rom with a good user interface I usually go back to the basic Euro Touch pro rom. I then add a few apps by cab that I need but I also add SPB Mobile shell to it. Retains all the hardware funtionality. I of course turn off TF3D.
SPB can replace your start menu and for bigger fonts go to start\settings\system\screen and enable cleartype and adjust your font size.
When I install this rom I usually install the following apps for basic and a little advanced user functionality:
SPB Mobile shell 3.5 (UI) -Worth the money-
Advanced config 3.3 (changing pagepools and storage locations)
Total Commander 2.5 (self-explanatory)
GPSTest 1.04 (for GPS locking)
SKtools (easy tweaking and cleaning-latest version-I bought it at pocketgear.com)
Bing (directions, searching, Navigating etc.)
Lumos (latest version for backlight control)
Touch Response (latest version-simulated haptive feedback)
Microsoft MyPhone (Secondary sync)
Of course it is all based on taste. Just thought I would stick that out there for ya.

Font size is at its largest, isn't enough
I have to say out of whats on the phone with this energy ROM i think I only use 3 things, and one is now missing in the new ROM.
Phone
Wi-Fi Router
Notes and Tasks.
Google Maps
Facebook
SMS
Freecell
Mostly hooked up to my PC with MyMobile so I can use my big screen. never browse now as the screen is to small.
Just looked at thr Captains basic ROM

Why don't you try my Titanium ROM then ? It's pretty basic, IMO

Trouble I have is reading through all the threads on a ROM, theres just to much old rubbish per thread. I can't filter out whos going on about which version and which ROM is which.
Pruning should be compulsory
They get all wrapped up in tech speak and CHt HTc DDL ROM RAM NND GGH OOH, which doesn't mean a thing to me, or probably a lot of people
Ill try yours out now
What else would I need. I want the Wi-Fi and a few tools but none of the
ArkSwitch ( no idea what it is)
Backup Fav ( never use Fav to start with)
CHT ( turned that off straight away)
Shake and whatever ( why)
World Card ( Useles)
XDA UC ( no idea)
BINg
well you get the picture
There was a good simple task manager in the last ROM but its missing now
And I liked the page with all short-cuts to you most used apps. It looked like the iPhone, very handy to use.

TAEL roms are pretty good

OK I'm lost wheres the Energy Titanium please

TAEL, is that a ROM type or the maker of the ROM ?
Thanks

Rom
Yes TAEL is the chef of the rom.
I am currently using captains manilla 2.1 rom. Pretty basic uses the old TF3D type interface. but still has newer features. The only thing missing would be the facebook app. but that can be installed via cab. Seems to be simple enough yet has plenty of tools to get the job done. It has the simple HTC task manager as well.

Does Pointui.Home.1.5a.Wm5. work on it
Ahh I see it says WM5 I wonder if that why it doesn't work on mine.

Trying the Cpts one, systems font seems smaller and I can't seem to find any O2 UK set up cab anywhere

Font size???
It does enlarge through screen settings but I can try and find a magnifier that could swipe across the screen. Of course most of the chefs have knowledge enough to make a "handicapped" rom as microsoft sells it in windows. (Magnifier , speech etc.)

What would be good is an App like the iPhone one that turns the phone into a magnifier. I could deff use that when I was out to read labels and small stuff.
Using
TAELROM_v4.23569_STANDARD_21MAY10
Cpts one I couldn't get the O2 settings for.

i have found something that might help you http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/WinMobile-Magnifier-27412.shtml

Well I gone and brought an iPhone, please don't shout , Only way I can see if it is suitable for me is hands on.
Probably wrong place to ask but anyone recommend a decent iPhone forum ?
Thanks
Still got the HTC so all is not lost
