email client skin or theme? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi
Does anyone know if it's possible to install a theme or skin, or possibly a manila add-on which would sexy-up the WM email client? I'm not talking about Flexmail or Profimail (they look like a step backwards - pocket pc, get out yer stylus).
I'm talking about a cosmetic dress up of the existing client (which I use with MS exchange for work, and hotmail for personal) to make it look more in keeping with the Sense UI, or what we've seen for WP7 or even (gasp!) the email client on the iphone.
I've tried searching, but all that comes up is flexmail (yuck!).
It's strange, all the messing about with themes, manila etc, but the email app is something I use probably more than any other on my phone and yet it hasn't fundamentally changed in 10 years. Any suggestions, greatly appreciated.
Stoatie ...

no-one, really?

Bump!
Totally agree with this... a new Email skin would be a nice addition to our handsets

cant we have a email client theme ???for the default email app ??

Well it is possible to skin the mail and SMS tabs on your HD2s, but unfortunatly what you are asking for is impossible if you dont want to have a new app or something similar

man...nothing is impossible in todays world !!
the sms app and email app essentially work the same way...
and if once can be skinned then of course the other has a possibility as well !
its just it hasnt been looked into !!

believe me I have taken a look into it. You can easily modify the appearance of your mail and sms tab. There are like 30-40 manila files that can be changed. But the problem is, that these changes wont affect the general behaviour like having speech bubbles or something like that. They would only change some little icons and maybe two or three other little visual gimicks but nothing more.
To achieve anything like the screenshots I saw in your link you would either have to write a new mailing or messaging app or change the way windows mobile 6.5(.x) behaves in general and I dont know anyone who is actually able to do that. Might be that Cookie was able to do that, but since he is no longer available for this kind of work, I think that you will have to come to peace with your current mailing or messaging tabs

once again !! I dont think you are getting the point !
I am not talking about the HTC Sense TABS like the messaging and email but instead I am talking about the default Email Client that has been there with us since Windows Mobile 6.
I had a talk with another developer and according to him...his skin also skinned the default Windows Mobile SMS app as well as the Email client.
Somewhat like this.

So...I dont think this has anything to do with Manilla. Getting the point ??
All that needs to be changed is the following UI.

Basic calendar program?

Well basically I'm just looking for a extremely simple calendar program for my 8125 that acts just like a regular paper calendar would.
I'm looking for it to be a month view, then you click on a date in that month and enter in what you are doing/need to do that day just like you would writing on a regular calendar.
I'm not looking for any alarms, reminders, or anything like that.
So if anyone knows of anything, please let me know.
Isn't the calendar built into Windows Mobile good enough?
If it was, I wouldnt be asking now would I?
I'm looking for something way more basic than the one thats built into WM5.
I'm not a power user so I don't have a ton of things I want to put into the calendar.
This is all I want from a calendar:
Tap the date I want to put the note on.
Type in what it is I'm doing that day and what time it begins and ends manually. ie: Lunch with Lindsay @ 1:00, Dentist appointment @ 4:00
And save.
Is there anything like that, or can I get the one with WM5 to work like that?
you might want to check out spb diary - it's not as complex as some other alternatives,, and can do a lot of what you ask from the today screen...

I rather agree with PaulK_CMF, isn't the one in WM5 easy enough? What is so complex about the WM5 version? You click on the Calendar, you get different views, just go to the month view and you can see those days that you have/not events. Click on the specific date, you get the day view. Scroll up and down for the time you wanted to add the event, click and hold, New Appointment, give it a name, time. That's ALL! There is nothing POWER to it. If you think that is powerful, you should see the Informant Calendar. That is cool.
Or perhaps, you can tell us, of which part do you think it is complex?
Alright, well the WM5 calendar might not be powerful...but it's more than what I want.
Like I said I just want something very basic that I click on the date add what I want and save.
I don't want to put times, I don't want to make titles I don't want anything extra. I just want it to be just like a regular wall calendar. Only on my PDA...
What you're after might not exist. :?
Developers want to improve on what WM offers, not provide something that does less.

Yea, still not what I want. Thanks for the heads up though...
And bump this to the top for hope that something like this exists...
still looking for this program, if anyone knows of anything please post!
im in the same boat, everything ive tried has been too complicated for what it is, and i want something very similar to windows rainlender calendar app.
looks good, not a plugin, easy noting on a date, month view.
yep, that's exactly what i want...
it really can't be that hard to code a program like that if you're a programmer.
someone out there should make us one, haha...
Sounds like you want Google calendar, of course it's useless if you don't have a data plan but Google calendar works exactly like what you are saying.
Oh, http://www.google.com/calendar/m
The mobile version is not the same as the standard, thought I would throw that out there.
Yea, I've already tried google calendar and it's not bad on the PC, but I don't like the mobile version. Plus I'd like something that doesn't require being connected to the net since I would have to wait for it to connect, wait for the page to load and so on...
Thanks for recommending though...
Possible Alternative
I've been on the lookout for something very simple as well, though not quite this simple (Datebook+ on the Handspring Visor is my all time fave).
Here's an idea: there are many note taking apps that will display a thumbnail view of several notes at once. It might take some setup time, but you could use the text entry option, give each note a day or week in the larger collection (month) and then directly edit.
One example:
http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1251
Not the best option... but a thought. I'll keep my eye out for this one.
I always thought that IntumiCal was nice but overpriced (I'm a cheapskate). Now the company that was making IntumiCal is kerplop. Would it be possible/legal for someone to take the torch on as a opensource app (assuming they could get the source code)?

Im pissed off now.. no dedicated Facebook app for windows mobile.. WHY THE HELL NOT

I'll let the picture do most of the talking

It is one reasons id love a blackberry like the storm b/c of the "always on" facebook and the interface. I dont understand why people dont develop more for windows mobile. Its not like they dont push phones like the touch pro. The ones they have now look like they are from 1996 with the graphics.

this is a very closed alpha/proof of concept and no one on the HD is benefiting yet , trust me.
Also I dont wish to use the overrated Xperia panel system on my phone, I just want an official facebook app that I and ALL OTHER Windows Mobile users no matter what device they have, can use.
Now the way I see it, the facebook panel on xperia is pretty much a windows mobile app, and as such should be able to run on any other windows mobile device (with at least VGA screen I suppose.. hence my reward, I cant do it myself, but im sure someone here can, there would be so many grateful WM users too
Snap2face
Hello.
I haven't Snap2face tried myself too much (just downloaded last night!) , and so far it seems to work fine. It's freeware. I'll keep on trying it, and I'd also like to hear from other users opinion.

After I log in on Opera mobile it takes me to the normal 'm.facebook' page?
Just tried Snap2Face or Skybook as its now called...seems pretty good for a standalone app. Probably not as polished as the other version though.
I'm sorry, but I do not consider 'snap2face' or 'skybook' a viable solution. Its slow, its buggy, it has a terrible,terrible layout (icons are often tiny on anything above a QVGA screen) and it makes a mess of its cache.
Can I ask the developers in here.. is there a REASON why the xperia facebook panel cannot be simply extracted and converted into a stand alone app?

Hahahaa. Facebook.
As in your previous thread (started a few months back), everyone is trying to tell you that Windows Mobile devices have more advanced features (of course, no Facebook). So if the only thing you are concerned of is Facebook, well... you could always get an iPhone.
Oh, by the way, then you'll be complaining about unable to send MMS, forward SMS, copy text in SMS, and ect... oh well... you're going to bombard me next.
PS: If I'm a developer, the moment I read your first post in this thread, I'll just ignore you. Maybe you should rephrase your sentences so that people (including developers) feel the need of Facebook application. This way, maybe someone out there would offer his/her help.

No you miss my point. The difference is that we DO have a WM version now.. the xperia facebook panel. No iphone required. I am urging devs on here to merely find a way to convert that panel into a standalone app for all WM users to enjoy.

[REQ]Read It Later App for WM

I use the Read It Later extension for Firefox heavily, and have always missed an WM App that would allow me to read the pages I've marked on my phone.
Well, since I've bought the HD2 I've missed this even more...
Now, it seems that the folks that makes RIL released an API so that anyone can make its own app...
There's an official one for the iPhone, a user made for Android... and none for WM.
I've tried to make one myself, but its way beyond my "search and learn with Google" programing skills.
This way, I want ask if someone is interested or is capable of doind a Read It Later App for WM, HD2 customized, using their API.
The site is here: http://readitlaterlist.com/
It would be really nice to have a "Instapaper" like app for WM...
Thanks in advance!
Request seconded.
without looking at exactly what this is. do you mean an offline browser? if so then opera has the function built in.. saved pages

It's not only saved pages...
It's like Instapaper for the iPhone.
You mark a page to read later in RIL Firefox, for example, and then can access the link throught the app in the phone to read it.
The good thing about RIL is that you can mark a page in your desktop and it sincronizes with web, so, as soon as you open RIL in the phone the page is already there.
The advantage here is that you can mark pages to read in multiple PCs (I use in Vista/7 installarion in my notebook as well as XP/7 in my desktop) and still have a unified list.

It is very nice.
ATM i'm using the web version, with the shortcut readitlaterlist.com/unread . When you create an account, this shortcut will lead you directly to the reading list.
Putting Opera zoom in 100%, it fits right in the screen.
But it lacks a lot of features. It is actually just a list of links. You have to manually check read itens, press and hold the link if you want to open in another tab.
What I miss the most is some options to store the pages for future references. Now I have to manually do this... It would be nice if the app allow us to send the pages to another apps...

Thanks anyway... I'm kind of resign that this won't be done.
Using the web version. Not perfect, but does the job.
I have not used this application/service before, but it looks interesting.
I have checked the API and it looks very simple to use.
The only thing that remains before starting to code is to have a rough design of the application GUI, just to set a rough scope on the functionalities.
Then I believe it is possible to create an "ugly" but functional application in a few days. I can work on this project if I can manage to allocate some spare time on this.
zefiltrin, I think you know the usage scenarios of this application way better than me, as I have not yet used it. Why not make a few sketches for describing the GUI of the application you want to see on your PPC. I mean the buttons, lists, etc. Then I would try to realize them (again, if I can manage to allocate some spare time on this)

I´ll do that! I'm travelling until april 4th, but will try to do that as soon as I come back.
I think I´ll use some of the screeshots of the existing apps for iPhone and Android.
Thank you for your help!
Well, here are some ideas:
I think the home screen should look like iPhone's Read It Later app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The list of things to read could be similar to GReader site, with big letters, two or more lines to allow seing the whole title:
In the "Greader-like" list abobe, there shoud be a search bar and the buttons to direclty mark as read or show the text only view, like this:
Finally, it would be great to have the sharing options like iPhone app (don´t know if the API allow that):
Let me know if this helps...
Ok I will spend some time on this tomorrow.
I started working on this project, I call it "Late Reader" for now. Any better name suggestions are welcome. I think I can post a first beta or alpha in a week.

HTC HD2 Facebook Application

the facebook application i have is version 1.007 and its utterly rubbish, is there a newer version if not will there be a newer one soon?
if there is a better application where can i get it from?
it says on windows market place that the current facebook app is version 1.1 so i installed it, then it asks me to restart the phone but then when i load up facebook its still version 1.007.
thankyou

Mine also says 1.007 after the update, but I can see that the application itself has changed since the update. There are some options available now, that wasn't before I upgraded...
So my guess is, that it's in fact 1.1 even though it says it's still 1.007.
I don't know what you think is rubbish about the application itself, I think it's quite okay considered it being a "light-app"...

thanks for everyone's answers, really helpful x
Or you could install the Sony Ericssons X2 Panel Manager and the Facebook panel... it's by far the best Facebook app on the device!
Thanks for alternative facebook links.
lite.facebook.com worked perfectly!
the lite site doesn't let you post comments unless you've already commented on them. not entirely sure why. I just wish microsoft would get their ass in gear and give the facebook app a radical overhaul : with no live feed, only one comment showing and a very badly thought out user interface it makes the user experience about as pleasant to use as a skipping rope made of razor wire.
just go to www.facebook.com on OPERA

Problem is that the Facebook API (public) doesn't allow authentication through a mobile application.. only Windows Apps or Web-sites. And you also get some reduced functionality when using it on a mobile.. Guess Microsoft got som extra treatment from Facebook to release the app....
If they would open up the API more for mobile apps, I'm sure we'd see all kinds of facebook apps bubbling up to the surface.
i too am waiting for a decent app that lets me "like" and comment and view comments ect. the best iv founx so far is FIM from mosko mobi its a fb chat client with a simple fb mobile browser built it but the best bit is that any notifications pop up in htc's notification bar (when the apps running ofcourse) its not the best app in the world but it will do till winmo gets one liks the iphone. hope this helps
SO yeah, this X2 Facebook app is much better, and super smooth. Smoother than the iPhone one I think. And it looks quite nice too

TO install it, download and install these cabs in the following order:
1) SE xKey Handler
2) SE X2 Panel manager
3) Tactel US Panel Launcher
4) SE Facebook Panel
Then soft reset, choose "Panels" in the start menu, slide over to the panel menu (second icon from the bottom left) and activate the facebook panel, and enjoy
SE Facebook
Thanks for the share. Works fine.

[2.1+][APP] Text Notify

This app is simple but useful for people that heavily use full screen apps (games/browsers/ect). It gives a nice little notification that shows the text message/email you just received, allowing you to decide if it's worth quitting your app to reply to it (see picture), even if you're in another app! You can turn the notifications on and off via the main screen. The best part of it is you can play and the notification will not interfere with your touch on the game. It might also have the simplest options menu.
FEATURE LIST:
Works with third party SMS applications
Now supports K9 Mail (requires K9 Mail for functionality)
Shows the sender (name from contacts list or number if contact doesn't exist)
Shows the sender and contents of the message
Low profile
Doesn't interfere with the touch interface of whatever task you are doing
Easy to turn on or off just by the touch of a checkbox
Lightweight
No more quitting Angry Birds just to see that someone texted you "lol"
Works in portrait and landscape orientations
Permissions explained:
Read SMS: So that it can read the text to show you
Read contacts: so that it can see if anyone in your contacts shares the same number and the text sender
Please report any bugs to me.
P.S. I know this is a VERY simplistic app and may seem pointless. If you feel that way that is fine, however I have had a lot of people that laughed at it originally tell me they can't use any full screen app without and they never turn it off. So I simply ask you give constructive criticism. Thank you!

Unfortunately Google currently doesn't allow outside apps access to Gmail emails or the standard email client. If they change this stance, I will update asap.
OK, I see...
Meanwhile, I installed and tested it (my ROM is at my sig) and it is working perfectly with the GoSMS I have installed...
Thank you!
No problem! Glad it works for you (as it should lol)
thanks, works on nexus s with ICS /)
beamed in from my Nexus S on ICS using my brain
Awesome! Thanks for the reply.
clears a lot of hassle of pop up! thanx
Crazy, I was literally just thinking it would be cool to have something exactly like this on my SGS2 when I was playing Star Diamonds Capture... it's an online multiplayer game that you can't really back out of unless you want to risk losing the match, but I always want to make sure I'm not ignoring an important text.
Thanks, I will let you know how it runs and if you stay active as a dev I will support your efforts as much as possible.

Thanks! Just released my second app, and started working on my third last night. Glad you enjoy!
Can you make the toast message last longer? It disappears very quick.. Just a half second longer would suffice and not interfere with games

Could you check this application (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nlucas.notificationtoasterlite&feature=related_apps) that have access to Gmail, maybe to see if it is possible to be done with yours, too?

From what I see, it doesn't actually show you what the email says or who it's from, just that you have an email. Maybe I can just say you have a new Gmail Email haha

Sorry, from the description I assumed that it works the same way as with SMS
Sent from my HD2
Love it! Using it in conjunction with SMS Popup (SMS Popup only pops up when the screen's off).
Definitely an excellent utility!
