Hi folks
Ive had a look around and cant find anything that matches this question.
One of teh iphone/itunes features that I did actually like, as opposed to the many things I didnt like about that bloatware, was the ability to rearrange the various screens directly from itunes.
Is it possible to do something similar from Windows to Android?
Im using GoLauncher on cyanogenmod 7 with a Galaxy S2. Ideally some form of GUI app on my PC would be brilliant, but if I have to edit some files manually, that wouldnt be too much of a hardship.
I know its not exactly hard to edit directly on the screen, but everytime I switch to a new ROM, I have to start again. Being able to save layouts or swap between a couple would be ideal.
Thanks in advance.
Phil

Ok this question has been asked here 1000s of times but f*** it i search through this board so much as it is i dont have time to read 20pages of 50 replies 20 pages there of replies.... what i am looking for is either a clean rom like *lite* without iContact i hate that f'ing program as my default contact with over 400 contacts it takes 3x as long to load as default does. it would be awesome to have it just as a program so i can quick dial. but not that or any other tl omnia manilla spb home screen if i could id have the home screen blank and use batterstat or now home plus as my screen.
i really loved OTP 3.0 but the graphics on the newer ones are awesome but they all come with some sort of spb or tl or other thing like iContacts also it is quit a bit slower than that last OTP i was using and that was 6.5 spb.
i love having 45 program free on ot 7.7 but something about the speed and the way it run is horrible on my refurb wing oc'd to a max of 234 and still get minor shakes. dont get me wrong awesome work ttran but it just isnt for my tastes.
Asergs roms i love but i hate having to install dupurdes kb fix i use a program called WKtask and it shows up in the menu bar. Also countless times i have had troubles with a few minor features. but looks appealing with the graphics.
In the next day or two i hope to flash my wing with somewhere around 40mb program free and keep almost all on the Card including programs such as wktask, Qmenu, mobiion ppc, office+1note, googlemaps and ygo
Any of my ROMs. For example, JustMe can get you up to 70MB FREE of storage.

Indeed. Easily the best rom i have used so far.
Wish I knew how to modify ROMs because there are some modifications i would like to make.... hehe.
I also use JustMe and love it!
I have been following just me and it seems like it is a winner however.... the topics cross paths of all the different products all in one etc where to start i have been reading for quite awhile. Ok i downloaded Justme.7z and easylzx.7z ok those are the file i only need to create the rom right i have a super old kitchen from you but dont know where it is. Now in the post i saw another user ask about newer and updated versions of the sources to cook the files into your own rom could you point me in the right direction with the file with those 100 or so sources u said? off the top of my head you said you had quickmenu,homeplus but with no themes ? also office and pxshut hmm few more from the professional such as adobepdf and paint found in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2792546&postcount=4 on the professional version
I know to get the bests from each rom i will have to get them out of the rom persay i like Ttrans graphics from 2 diff roms so say i like the dialer in the otp rom i just used and the comm manager etc i need to figure out how to get those files then in the current rom i like the loading screens and add contact menu graphics so i need to get those.
This goes to all the cooks its not easy to please all people i know and since people need to cater to the many and not the few please understand your work is great but some people like differnt things and keep up the great work
Edit didnt work. But what i also asked is there a quick easy file say .xml or such i can open up in my html editor and look and see what all files i will need to grab? because obviously you cant just changes the graphics out as each dialer is skinned diff.
for instance in BS aka HP i open up the themes and can easily modify the say clock digits because it tells me the file locations as well as what is placed where and calls what function.
cant someone quick post these files for the ones u need for say the dialer,commgr, add contacts

It's not that simple with a ROM. If you can get the cook's ROM files before they're cooked, then the process is pretty simple, but it's almost impossible once the ROM has been cooked. Either way, you're modifying Registry keys as well as files in order to do anything in the ROM.
sooo, because i'm a cheap basta*d i'm going to buy a dvd player with gps for my car on ebay and i've noticed a lot of them, or even all of them?, run on windows ce. So here's my question, will any cab run on windows ce? i mean, winmo 5, 6, 6.1 and everything before that ran on windows ce right? so how easy would it be?
Picture this, a 8-16gb sd card, jam it into the card reader and start up S2P (slide to play) for one bad ass cover flowin' music center! obviously other thing would be useful to, and since these bad boys are only like $300 buckaroos it isn't a bad idea, especially for us gadget pr0n guys right?
what about flashing a rom from a SD card (only heard rumors/speculation about that, probably not possible)? or just loading up manila 2d/3d via throttle launcher and getting the think looking pimp? no phone antenna, no problem, just sync it through the bluetooth and make calls (new app required i'm guessing, or at least adapt/beautify some existing cab/exe). get internet sharing to work on it somehow and you're seriously looking at a pretty cool carputer. well, with all i'd want to use one for anyways. Who wants to do more than what a good rom on one of our phones can do while in a car anyways?
I'm not sure if it will run out of the box like that, with nothing more than some cabs on and sd card, or if you have to do something else (file explorer and whatnot), but i figured xda would be the best place to start for the right answers. I've never gone wrong before with you guys, so speak up! let's see what we come up with!
or at least give me a link to a better place if you know of one and i'll get off my soapbox...
anyways, i've got access to a few vogues, a wing/herald, and a touch pro to do testing with, along with the dvd player/win CE unit--in about a week or two that is--so i'm more than happy to put it on the table.
Man i hope you guys are reading this and as pumped as i am.
anyways, pm me with anything, or i'll just keep looking to see if anyone else posts here

does anyone know if this would even work?
This could work.
First of all, you need to look up how to disable OEM's shell (factory "software" of the player) and enable Windows CE interface.
Next you either install Handheld PC apps, or install libraries which allow you to run applications from PocketPC.
Myself I tried it with a cheap GPS. Yeah, WinCE + apps are a major step up from maps only, but it is not anywhere close to even a non-phone PPC. Because of, for example, lack of WiFi. The big advantage is, that I can install any WinCE compatible map instead of outdated OEM maps.
Hope I am right, and this helps
Where did you find information about your GPS? I just got one, model# TID-7626GPS that I'm going to try to mod, but i can't find information about how to get the WinCE.
if you could pass on any links to places i could look it would help a ton. For how do disable the factory OEM and those libraries?
First you need to find out real manufacturer of your device. I googled model name you said but there's nothing
Or, connect that device via ActiveSync (yes, the same) and see if there's a file \Windows\autorun.inf
If it exists, backup it. Then change it so it will load \Windows\explorer.exe
That should unlock WinCE UI.
However, the file may not exist. In this case you have to look for instructions over the web.
I got my new HD2 and was delighted, but then tried to get the software that I have been using previously to work on it.
As I travel around and look in second hand book and record shops, I am never totally sure from memory whether i have a particular book or cd. Publishers keep changing the covers and synopses.
On my Psion, it had as standard a lovely card database / rolodex type of program. It was easy to input, easy to search.
When I moved to the hx4700 on windows 2003SE I lost that. Eventually I found Data On The Run which is fully access compatible. So I've converted all of my lists to access, and was happy enough. It wasn't great as it tries to get too much on, and portrait only.
Now on the HD2, the software does not like fingers, only styluses. Scrolling is virtually impossible, as it won't drag to scroll. The pop out scroll bar helper does not show. The developer is one guy and hasn't time to continue developing.
I've looked at stuff like Bookbag plus and someone mentioned "My Collection" but I cannot find it anywhere on the net. There are serious commercial pieces of software that are in effect full database programs, but that is a sledgehammer to crack a walnut.
I know this may only help in the short term, and doesn't solve the software issue.
Have you changed the original theme on the device? If so the Pop out function on the theme is lost in order to return it without going back to the original theme you could try this. please remember to backup
Hope this helps in the short term.
Try this
Try ListPro.. it's a great application..

Thanks for hte idea, but Nope, original theme. Pop out scroll is there for other apps.

THanks. I had seen Collectorz which has templates for this, but had not found listpro. It looks a fairly steep learning curve, and I need to import my existing lists. However, its great advantage is that it is only one program that covers a multitude of lists, so i won;t be paying out twice or three times for basically the same thing.
I've installed and imported my book list, so can now try and get it synchronised. I had to install the cab file separately. I can set up the synchronisation in the Windows MObile Device Centre, but that has to be done through "files" and unless i have missed something that only lets me synchronise to the machine, not the storage card. That is no damn good.
Hello all. New owner of an HTC Pure, and really liking it. This is my first time with a converged device (well, I had a BB Pearl, but it wasn't on a data plan) and while I'm impressed with all it can do, I'm a little confused. And of course, I like to tinker...
I'm trying to learn my way around things. I like the look of TouchFlo3D, but would like to add some functionality to it, for example, adding Tasks to the Home Screen, or making the Calendar screen more informative. But that's probably a bit down the road, and I'd like to understand How Things Work before monkeying around too much.
A few general questions, if I may.
1. What is a shell? From looking around, it appears a shell is an app that lets you interface with the OS. TouchFlo is a shell, right? It actually overlays the WinMo shell, is that correct? So when I use TF3D, I'm using one shell to tell another shell to issue instructions to the OS?
Remembering back to my Palm days, if any of you are familiar with zLauncher, would it be analogous?
2. Is there a way to mod the TF3D shell, to make it more useable? Or is it easier to download something like SPB. I really like TouchFlo, but would switch if it was necessary, or desirable. But wouldn't loading another shell take up more space and computing power on my phone?
3. I've seen the directions about adding a custom city to the weather tab using Manila. What exactly is Manila, and would I need it to make any mods?
4. I've noticed that when I check the Task Manager on my phone, after it's been on, the memory used goes up. For instance, when I turn the phone on, it's usually in the mid to high 50's. After a few hours, it will be in the 70's or even 80's. What's going on? Is this kind of like RAM creep that one experiences with PC's? So is it necessary to reset the phone occasionally to "clean things out", like rebooting a PC that's been on for quite a while?
5. Flashing a ROM. Are you actually loading a new OS into the read-only memory of the phone? What are the advantages/disadvantages of this?
Eventually, I'd like to get fairly deep into this (getting rid of all the AT&T bloat is pretty high on the "to-do" list), but like I said, I'm still learning my way around and would really like to get a firm handle on the basics. I appreciate any help y'all can give me.
Is this the wrong place to ask these sort of questions?
Has anyone had a look at touchstudio? You can program some codes using it that access a lot of the phone's stuff.
Any developer/hacker wanna take a look at it and maybe see what dll allows access and stuff?
I've seen it. But I've seen nothing that has access to something cool. What are you referring to?
I don't think that TouchStudio has more access to the whole system than other apps. Because anything that you program in the app gets just displayed on the "wall" (or whatever that thing is called )...
And if there are interesting parts in this app MS has locked down these parts for sure...
I just downloaded this as it looks interesting and I'm hoping to learn a bit more about coding. Has anyone used it much? Is there any way to actually effectively use the codes that you create? It doesn't appear like theres a way to export the actions to your homescreen or anything to make them useable, aside from going into the touchscreen app and then running it. Is this just because its the beta version, or is it really just supposed to be for fun/learning?
