Can anybody tell me if the SBSH iLauncher works and how well it works on an HD2. I like the idea of it but it's no good if it won't do as it says. Here's a link to check it out for anyone else interested.
Thanks.

Ilauncher was my favourite task manager and launcher on my Axim X51v. When I got the LEO it was one of the first applications I installed, together with Pocket Breeze, but removed it after a day as I found it was not finger friendly and uncomfortable to use.
I just checked, they haven't updated this app for just over two years, I think you will find the same what I did

Hi All,
I780 Screen is a little bit small than other PDAs so demand appropaite choice of Pulg ins for today screen - to show more info.
Here is my screen as of now....
Something interesting: Deletion of below bar to add some more space in today scrren. Please post your today screen.
hi may i ask, what did u do to get the news? i wish to have them too.
For news I use SPB insight...
Currnetly I have downloaded relavga so today also changed a lot...I will post that soon...
But where are other I780 Users?? We wanna see how others configured their today screens so please post.
I don't really like busy today screens - so mine is pretty vanilla:
Hi where can dl this pretty vanila? Thanks.
I'm old fashioned.
Off topic: Does anyone of you use any kind of TouchFlo on i780? No 3D cubes or iPhone like apps but just scrolling any system screen using fingers (like the new Opera Mobile 9.5).

It's pretty straight forward:
1) get a HTC home plug-in of your choice - I use the HTC Home Idiamond (you can get the .cab in the hacking and development forum).
2) UITweaker - change the menu bars to black
3) Select the calender and task items in settings.
That's it!

I tried touchflo but couldn't get it to work - I use pocketCM with a black theme and that works well with my current today screen.
Some of the themes work that goes on in the hacking/development forums is amazing but it's just too much hard work for me!
Oh two other MUST-HAVE apps for i780 users -
Slide2unlock - 100X better than using the built in lock and again fits into the black and white theme I'm going for.
S2P - great media player from same developer than works well with s2unlock.
Anyone know how to remap the softkeys - I want the Calendar one to be mapped to opera.

I use
1. Resco file explorer 2008, it's a touchflo scroling application.
2. Ulimate Launch
3. SPB Mobile Shell - with realvga
Fortunately there's an app that works: FTouchSL. But it's not free...

I think the trial version is free with no time limit. There are some excluded features compared to the registered version though I understand.
I use Ultimate launcher with the HTC homescreen plugin. Best solution ever.

I read a little and apparently it is not possible ,at the moment, to incorporate "Phone Alarm" into TouchFlo 3D.
Well this pisses me of because I spent over $1000.00 on that new device and I can't even configure it the way I want and use the apps or "Tools" I like and need the way I want it....
So the goal of this Thread is to see if there are others in the same situation and maybe team up to try to find someone that has the Resources, Knowledge and the Time to make this request possible...
I've been reading on this site for almost two years and became a member (not too active) close to a year now and can honestly say that there is some super brilliant minds in here, not all, but some, that could probably write a "Patch" or even Rewrite this TouchFlo3D SW that would allow it to be personalized and more user friendly.
There is four things that I would like to get in this new TF3D
1- Ability to have TF3D and PA (Phone Alarm) to run simultaneously (without the need of a 3rd party sw)
2- Have the "Top Bar" or "Bottom Bar" to display the actual PA "Profile"
3- Have a large PA "Scroller" field (somewhere)
4- Link the "little WM Alarm Clock" to PA's Alarm instead.
If there are some others in the same situation, please let it be known...
I am really please with using SecondToday making the left softkey open SecondToday from the Home Page of Touchflo 3D.I know you said no third party software but it is really nice to have the "best" of both worlds in using ToucFlo as it was designed and having a whole new Today screen for PhoneAlarm. With the power of our device there is absolutely no lag when switching between SecondToday today screen and Touchflo "today" screen.
this really works and I'm actually glad to have touchflo and phonealarmon different pages
ps I have a nice vga skin for PA and TodayAgenda on my secondtoday today screen

What skin do you use for PhoneAlarm ?
I didn't find a nice one yet so I now use PhoneWeaver with SecondToday instead of PhoneAlarm but I want to use PhoneAlarm again.
I've used PhoneAlarm on my TytnII for almost a year and is way better than PhoneWeaver.
Hey guys, im actually really stumped on this one.. i cant seem to find any Task manager that works on WM6.5 for my Atom Life. I used to use WKTASK and Quickmenu but now i wanna keep the honeycomb cause it runs really smooth on this new build and WKTASK screws up everything to be honest lol. I'm just wondering if you guys have any solutions?
PS: I'm trying out pBAR 1.4 and its not that great on wm6.5.. not very finger friendly.
Isn't there one in WinMo 6.5 already?
Maybe try the HTC one from the Diamond, there's a topic somewhere with all HTC application download links.

What problems are you having with WK Task and Quick menu ? I used both with Josh's Kaiser roms, and both worked well.
Well WKTASK just seems to kill my start menu after maybe 3 or so minutes.. So as long as WKTASK is running, my WM6.5 Honeycomb startmenu OR the Quickmenu startmenu will not open. its weird really.. and im using chrisch's atom life wm6.5 ROM 21202. Also the HTC manager doesnt seem to do anything on my device... nothing at all.. it installs.. i can access the settings but it doesnt show up on the OS itself. so its pretty much useless at this point (ive tried different versions).
yeah, I have the same issue as well...
For wm6.5 the best task manager for me is the HTC task mananger (at least for now). It integrates well to the new interface of wm6.5

What is twolfs fix for wktask? Can you give me the link?

add \window\shell32.exe as an excluded app
colours are still messed up, hopefully the Wktask guys will update it to cope with the 6.5 theme system soon..
I have set all my colors to black in wktask and now it´s looking quite good.

TaskSwitch
I wan't to share the fastest alt+tab program i found (faster than SPB). It's freeware, don't know where i found it. Displaytime can be configured in registry.
I mapped it to single click on the start button, works perfect! (long hold shows startmenu)
The absolute best task manager app I've found is from FDC Soft. Here is the link.
I would be glad to hear recommendations. I tried Pocket Informant 8.5, but the touch mode there is still very imature. I'll now try SBSH's program.
Do you have any touch friendly PIM to recommend?
Thanks.
AgendaOne from DeveloperOne or ThumbCal from Thumbapps.
Greetings from Cologne,
Arniebirdy
I got thumbcall, and i think it's one of the best and fingerfriendly programms.

Hi Baltes,
Thanks for sharing, this looks good. Can you replace the integrated TouchFlo3D/Manila calender with this one?

sbsh calendar touch!
Hi folks,
i've used AgendaOne and PocketInformant before but don't like them anymore since they are absolutely not finger friendly.
My new favourite now is sbsh calendar touch, you do not need a stylus AND you can wipe forward/backward days, weeks or whatsoever.
Sure, it doesn't look as nice as AgendaOne or PI, you have to change some colour settings, but it works like a charm with one finger!
(Don't like Thumbcall either. Tried and uninstalled again.)

Thanks for the tip, I really like it!
I tried SBSH's Calendar Touch, and it has a sleeker look, but it has an annoying bug that the bottom bar doesn't work at times. I removed it, and now using Thumbcal.
Thanks!
Guy's,
Since WkTask task manager is not updated for a long time and is not perorming well on WM6.5 platform.
Please suggest some of good alternatives, it will help to get the right task manager for future (WM6.5) builds.
Cheers
QuickMenu
I have always used QuickMenu. Before anyone says anything - I don't replace the main Start Menu, but use it with it. (Make sure 'Replace system's start-menu is unticked). Also in the 'Menu Items', I only have 'Running Tasks', 'QuickMneu' and 'Programs'. The latter I set to Custom folders, which simply contains 'New SMS' and 'H-V Switch'.
The reason why I use it, is because it doesn't hide the text of the toolbar, which is important for some programs I run (eg, it displays how many characters used/left in an SMS message). And if I want to switch tasks, I simply click on the StartMenu logo. The normal StartMenu is simply obtained by pressing next to it (see attach #1).
You see, it's all in the way you set it up.
attach #2 and #3 show what happens when you click on StartMenu logo. You can then go to (or close) any task task you wish. You can even close all other tasks (except the one you've got at the front). You can add your own programs.
If you really want, it can replace the main StartMenu, but I tend not to like this.
QuickMenu 2.8en (website|download)
Quickmenu is handy indeed but it is finger/thumb -hostile. The fastest ever is aebutton plus task manager. It is not free unfortunately.
If you want finger friendly, howabout WKTaskSwitcher which thingonaspring used in his ROM? or is that just a wkTask variant? It was launched via the light button, and then I think you just chose your app (from a selection of icons on the screen).
(I must admit, though, that I didn't prefer it myself ).
Weird, WkTask works perfectly on my WM6.5

QuickMenu is just as finger friendly as the Start Menu!

Well, wktask has issue with image transparency, it simply can't handle new styled taskbar under wm65.
QM has no issue with that but it is making conflict with honeycomb. Only htc task manager performed well on all these aspects but its memory footprint is non-tolerable.
Anyway, I'll use htc if no better alternative is discovered.

No I do not have uni. I am using an rss reader to catch up with the xda and read all the new threads. That is how I happen to be here. I think this is not an uni-only problem btw (the wktask slowness ofcourse might be more device specific).
What abou PBar?
