i-phone contacts - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

where can i find the cab file that can give me the i-phone like contacts?

If you search, there are several alternatives.
Personally, I use ContactManager for a finger based contact manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314048
You can find more in the general development and hacking section.

Here's a second vote for contact manager. It's real slick and does what it advertises!

another tool is called iContact v2.0

It's pretty awesome. There is a new version out last I checked, 0.10, and it works better than 0.09. Also, on the author's site, he explains how to remap your default config to use this as contacts instead of the original application. So that means in your phone, when you hit contacts, contactmanager will open. It uses around 1 mb of ram running, but like daclothe said, it's slick

Actually that one isn't developed anymore. The new version is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320544
But I agree... Very slick. I saw this on a 8525 today (or something like it; not sure of the name) and had to have it.

The last time this topic was updated it was still the latest version
Anyway, yeah, the new version, PocketCM, is a native version rather than a .NET version, which makes it load quicker and use less memory (doesn't rely on the .NET Framework). Works great!

Great Cabs for Titan

Until someone figures out how to cook and upload a custom ROM, here are some cab files for the Titan.
The first is the Home Plug-in used by the Touch. It shows the Weather etc. You
The second is a Music Plug-in
The third is a X-Button program. It's button appears at the top right of the today screen. One can close all programs or any one running program easily.
There's also a streaming video cab which lets one watch YouTube on the Titan. This website would not let me upload it. Search for it elsewhere. It's labeled as follows: RvBCrS_HTC_Streaming_Media
Just put these on your device and click.
Enjoy
out of curiosity, how much memory do you have free on a fresh reboot after installing all of these?

i have all 3 installed and after soft reset im at like 20-22 max.
hey thanks for the cabs man they are awesome but i had one question about the audio manager, i have a microsoft zune so i get all my songs thru marketplace but i wont let me pay them on my mogul do to licensing is there anyway to bypass that?
Does anyone know how to make the Weather in Fahrenheit and not Celcius?
What is the difference in the X-button cabs. Some are 120kb and some are 240K? I installed version 1 of x-button and had to hard reset my Mogul. I want to make sure the version and size of the Cab are correct.

I'm not sure. I've never bought anything from marketplace. Please give me the URL of the site. What file format is the music in .wma?
I downloaded a song from Sprint and was wondering how to play it on my laptop. The .koz files are supposed to be really compact. However, I'd like to play them on my laptop. Sprint's music store's offerings aren't bad. However, after logging in on my PC, I cannot get to their music store. I've talked with two techies who say they'll fix the link between my account and the music store. So far - No go. At one time, Sprint supposed let you download an mp3 or wma to play on your laptop.

This one is almost two years old, and I think there are updated versions of each of these programs.
Yea I am starting to think this person is begging for problems.. Here is a post from the Titan/Titan subforum.
He revived yet another post from the grave for no particular reason. What he doesnt realize is that people may actually use the software/information in these old threads and then have to uninstall and install again once locating the newer versions or information. Thats simply not cool.. Even though its not that big of a deal, this place isnt for fooling around.
Please appreciate that this forum has been open that long and prospering. And that XDA still keeps your threads/posts around for years to come. Dont abuse or make fun of the fact that they provide us with those resources.

No one is saying that you cannot post that; it is merely a question of advisability of reviving a 2 year old thread and bringing outdated applications back to the foreground of the forums.
New users are attracted to the smartphone/pdaphone scene every day, and this website is one of the more prevalent sources of information. Old apps that may or may not work are just going to create problems for newer users if they do not work; and add more unnecessary questions being asked in the forums. When validating a new configuration, it is best to use the latest components that are available unless there is a specific reason for using older components; weather its on a pda or otherwise. New users don't always think of that, or think to search for a newer version, but instead post complaining that X component does not work and ask how to fix it. Leaving things like this buried saves those problems.
And if you like a application or enhancement that much it is not difficult to look for the most updated version you can find, state that its a great app, state that you have posted the most updated version available to you, and state the relavant revisions of radio firmware or OS rom you have validated the component on.
Food for thought

Any of the Genius' want to take a stab at TouchFlo 2d for our Titan's?

Thumbs up
Works brilliantly with my Titan, am running DCD 3.2.5 with it. There is a lag when scrolling thru emails and texts and an unsigned error when i try to open my photos and videos.
Killed my ram tho, had 22MB now down to 10MB, definitely made for vogue not titan. Gonna to tinker with it some more, some registry tweaking to see if i can make it perform faster but overall a great addition

do you have all the tabs working properly??? contacts, music, weather, programs, pictures....???
All my tabs are working just fine, it picked up all my contacts pictures in HTC home, i can call them just like i could before, i can scroll and read and send texts and emails, opera works great, audio manager is working great, its got my album covers showing, weather I just configured and it's working, haven't tried google maps search tab yet, will post and only other thing not working correctly is the keys in the settings tab, my wallpaper and sounds keys dont work, im getting no response when i press them, needs a lil more work but is working fluid and the lag from earlier seems to have disappeared
UPDATE:
My ram shot up to 17MB now
Everything works unbelievably well now!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425694
A uninstall and re-install did the trick for me, everything works as it should now. Ram isn't so bad, am averaging around 17 - 19MB, which is ok for now
I am trying it out, got most everything working besides the email or text messaging tab closing touchFLO randomly. It seems to be a memory hog too, bet it would run great on No2chems latest Cool UI, cant wait until they get a few more bugs worked out.

Fast and has great memory. You lose the camera though. Probably the best ROM I have run so far and he is still playing with it.
I have been running the initial 2d touch flo and the most recent version on my Sprint Mogul. A few minor bugs but otherwise it is running great. I am running it on DCD's 3.2.6. My RAM is hanging around 72% after some use.
The bugs include loss of volume control via the speaker icon at the screen top. And some problems getting the Opal audio manager to see my music.
The crew working on this project is really on the ball! Hope this helps anyone considering trying it out. So far I am happy...

Damn. I dont care for my camera anyhow. It comes in handy every once in a blue moon, but I'd rather have speed. Hmm. Maybe I should wait till a more stable version. flashing is killing me.
the development and hacking area of XDA has about 3-4 running threads about manilla2d with hundreds and hundreds of posts --- its a wreck.
Not to mention every htc owner is trying to get their own specific device going with this new touchflo. I would suggest that jeep14 rename this thread to something like "Manilla2d / Touchflo 2d development for the Titan" and we can use this as command central with some updated info in the first post. Otherwise its so unorganized.. Jeep14 help us get organized here buddy.
Just an FYI I have the latest touchflow2d on my device and half the features dont work. Just a status update to how bad this is. Not sure why every one else isnt jumping on board with this right now. it is like HTC Home 5.0 or something its GREAT!
I uninstalled the last version (which was hell) and installed the latest, and it still eats RAM like candy.
The next logical choice for me was to flash nuerom 3 pre1 and holy crap does that ROM fly! wow. no other words can describe it. I loaded again the latest M2D version on this ROM and it works awesome!
And I still have more RAM at boot than my buddies Kaiser.(almost )
This is sweet. I miss some of the functionality of DCD's finest but this rom (with 12 MB page pool) hauls ass.I will probably run this for a while and flash back to DCD, but for now this blows my mind!

If not to make this thread an organized central thread then what is the point of this thread to begin with? just to beg DCD or GC to do something?? The thread name is misleading, that is my point.
I am running DCD's latest, and others are running this NoChem business which I have never tried (the rom is in beta, limited releases, and still has bugs)
My issues as of now, that i can name off the top of my head.
Youtube doesnt play (error playing the videos)
internet wont launch Opera
Album doesnt work at all, it recognizes no pictures
Havent tested music..
We do need a central thread for TITAN users, and we need it here. Not random posts spread through out XDA. Just common sense.
edit:
I installed and tested this, but bug and error reports just clutter the main threads. And to be honest, I am not much of a developer so I just sit back and watch things unfold. But keeping device-specific chat about this project right here in our forum may help others here.

1. I have no idea why the OP started the thread. Maybe it was to ask someone else to get it done. As I recall this was posted before any thing was released for other devices.
2. dcd 3.26 does not have some of the files that nueROM 3 pre 1 does. Probably why everything doesn't work right away.
3. Apparently you are missing a file of some sort. Which YouTube cab did you download? I am using the original YT.cab and it works but it could be something in my ROM that is helping. There is a reg patch to get opera working (assuming your Opera has been installed to Program files). Oh, there is someone reporting that they have YouTube working on dcd 3.26 in the YouTube thread so obviously it can work.
Install YoutubePlay
Open up Regedit
GO to:
HKLM>Software>HTC>Manila2D>InternetWidget>Customiz ed>0
Changed CustomizedURL to
\Program Files\youtubeplay\youtubeplay.exe
Did you install the new camera album? For music I had to install the older Kaiser audio manager and then the new audio manager.
4. No we don't. That just spreads it out even further. Heck, someone felt the need to open another thread about modifying the xml file. That one should be closed and the info kept in the skinning thread. The other problem is people wanting to be lazy and not read things that are going on. Then they post stupid crude like "does it work for my device?". That clogs up the threads with all kinds of fluff. If this program was only for the Titan I would be right with but since it is for a large number of devices it is in the appropriate forum. Of course, this is my personal opinion and since I am just a member I can't control what happens.
5. Your link is broken.

1. You are right on that, it was an early post. I just would like the member who started it to maintain the first post and rename the thread, if we are to keep using it. That's what I am really trying to say.
2. I have no objections to using the nochem rom, I would like to test it out, however I cant find a link and it seems to be a limited release item.
3. The youtube cab I used was HTCYouTubeQVGA.zip from the HTC YouTube from Diamond And Opal.Jade thread. I will investigate that thread some more, now that you mention that someone has it working. So you are saying I still have to use YoutubePlay and cant get that beautiful one above to play the videos? The app itself runs.
Opera, maybe an issue on my end... I think the Opera Mini install that I did may have been corrupt somehow, so I cant really attribute that to anything yet.
4. I saw the XML editing thread, and it was pointless. But back to point number 1, I believe that here in the Titan Upgrading forum we should have the dedicated thread for us TITAN users. Then we wont have so much clutter in the Hack and Dev forums from noobs asking too many questions. I see it as helping both parties.
5. Yea that link is broken.. i'll take it down.
Thanks for your help... I hope to get a nice TouchFlo 2d customized for the Titan .cab up here soon ... that would be great!

New Version MusicID Shazam 1.3.16 Tactile QVGA + VGA ( Fix Font)

hello everybody
I found a recent version VGA but I converted to QVGA, you certainly know this software, this version is unlike other tactile versions available to date
Admin edit: software removed after a complaint from the copyright owner, this software is not freeware or shareware and therefore considered warez, warez is not allowed on the forum.
​
Quentin Post:
I know, I know...I'm late to the party. Hopefully the quality of the release will make up for the tardiness. I'm still running a Kaiser (just couldn't convince myself the Diamond was actually better--and I'm still crossing my fingers that the Touch HD will get released with TMO 1700Mhz support).
Anyway, without further ado...this version of MusicID is based from the 1.3.16 source from 1800pocketpc.com which is of course released by AT&T. The changes are as follows:
Converted for QVGA (320x240) support. The conversion was done using image resources from the non-touch screen version so they look just fine. Furthermore all fonts have been converted as well. (I'd like to give credit to lepsyfou here, he did give everyone something to use at least even though the images looked poor and the fonts were large. Were it not for finding his original conversion that got me hooked on the app itself I probably never would have made my own conversion).
Removed UID information from query strings. For those that didn't check, the application for download on these forums (and other sites) actually makes all requests under the guise of someone's account (presumably whoever released the app). I won't post their account # here but suffice it to say that if they ever shut off the service everyone using that app would find it stops working. Hopefully that won't happen here.
Removed all AT&T specific features. This also means that all the buttons present after a successful identification have been removed. #1 they are completely useless for anyone not on the AT&T network; and #2 they were pretty much pointless (from my perspective) in the first place. As a side benefit see the next item.
Due to the removal of AT&T specific features I found it convenient to download a larger cover image photo for the album...maybe this will be enjoyed by others as well
Updated the help pages and removed redundant (or now unused) entries.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you've never installed any version of MusicID before simply install the cab. If however you have installed a previous version pay close attention:
Remove any previously installed version of MusicID.
It is absolutely MANDATORY to remove the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MusicID folder and its contents. If you're an advanced user and are using any of the conn* entries you can leave those but remove all others. If that last statement doesn't make any sense to you then simply remove the entire MusicID key (and all entries contained therein) prior to installation.
I highly recommend removing your \Application Data\MusicID folder and contents. This is due to the fact that the application now expects 150x* size images. The only issue with old images should be a slight off-center display though so it is up to you

Thank you.

No biggie thanks again
Was reading about this last night on Pocketnow.com. tried to installed and got the unsuccessful message. Was in ATT store today looking at the new Samaung epix, just to see what it was about, would never give up my Tilt for it, but is nice and love the cursor, very responsive.
Now if you have a Tilt, not sure about other cells, or maybe if you have ATT device dial from you cell *43# and it should get it for you. Also might look in your start up might get put there.
I love this program. It actutally found a song from a Musical from 1951 while i have my Sirrus on Broadway. Unreal.
Hope this helps someone.

[ROM]Test4 FINAL [21885]It's Back UP!![Sense 2.5][Basics][22DEC]Now Online...Post #3

Due to illness and being TDY for a couple of weeks, this project was on hold, but now I'm back like a vertebrae. Test up Ninjas!
Ladies and gentlemen, I need your help. I've tried to work on this ROM and need some feedback. There is only so much that I can test on until I need some feedback from outside sources. So, please give it a shot.
As the title states, this is a Manila 2.5 ROM. I've tried to tidy things up as much as possible before publicizing it. I decided to go with the older UI because, #1 it's more stable and #2, it works well with the qilin dialer.
Features:
MS Core 21885 SYS/XIP
HTC Manila 2.5
Opera 9.7 35541
Advancedconfig
hTorch

As long as your TP is GSM you'll be ok, it's just a warning to CDMA users
Why is it a COM1 Build ?
I think till COM3 the builds are very stable.
Some chefs out there are building COM8 !!
And one more question, chef why is the TP Keyboard selector baked in the ROM many people use Raphael and that should be necessary asin all other ROMs please try and include in net release
Keep up the good work !
Will try your ROM.

I can give you an answer on this topic. COM1 is official, which means stable, COM3 is experimental, which means buggy.

Thanks for answering that for me. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, the old UI plays well with Sense 2.5 and the Qilin dialer. If you use the dialer in a COM3 or the new WMD branch, basically any branch that has the larger taskbar and buttons at the bottom, the dialer sticks out like a sore thumb. Plus, like pilgrim said, it's stable.

Where is this selector? I searched and didn't come up with anything. EDIT... found it!!!
Hey, I'll give this a shot. I'll use and abuse it tonight and tomorrow and share my findings.
BTW, first actual post after lingering for months. I feel special.

Okay, here's a few quick things.
First of all, after I set up gmail with activesync, it downloaded my mail and I went in to open a few new messages, but I can't. No way to open the mail from inbox.
Second, no matter what I did, it kept wanting to finish my input for me. Even after I turned every input option off, and used advanced config, it keeps predicting everything. Not sure about that one.
Thirdly, there's something askew with the photo album. Fuze center scroll doesn't zoom, and the flip through the pics is really rough.
I do have some positives:
Overall feel is very stable. Ran smoothly and booted quicker than some other builds I've fussed with. Smooth motion.
I would probably try another build from you if you posted again, but for the mean time, I'll switch back to something slightly more user friendly, but unfortunately not as smooth and quick.

Understood, thanks. Like I said, this is a test ROM. After running it on my Fuze, I get used to any quirks it has so outside input is needed. Thanks again. Are you using a Fuze or TP? I know they are pretty much identical, but just for reference
I'm using an ATT Fuze, unlocked in every way possible.
Its always weird when something works wonderful for one person and not so great for another when their using the exact same hardware. It makes you wonder about the manufacturers sometimes.
same for me

Thanks, I'm fixing the bugs now that reverendkjr found now. I will upload the new version later
Ver#2 is up. Incorporated change fixes, it works for me anyway...lol
hey, Ive flashed this ROM yester - Ive used a few ROMs and your has a lot of what Im after. Really enjoying the whole look and feel.
I'll flash the new rom tonight and get back to you with anything I find.
Thanks for your work and keep it up!
Thanks for the words of kindness. It's much appreciated.
Also, anyone maybe experience a bug with the weather? Maybe it's just me since I live in a fairly rural area, but I had a lot of problems updating my weather last night after my final flash. For simplicity, I removed all cities in the weather tab. No problems before last night, but it wouldn't update until I added an extra city. Again, maybe it's me since I live in the middle of nowhere, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

New Windows Mobile Bing App! Updated 04/14/2010 Cab Inside.

New Windows mobile Bing app is here!
No clear changlog is out yet.
"It's almost difficult to say how many Windows Phone owners prefer to use Microsoft's own Bing app as opposed to Google's. Luckily for those users who happily rely on using the Bing app, there is an update that brings the app to version 5.1.2010. It's unfortunate that Verizon Windows Phone owners can't get in on this update – that's because it only is available to Windows Phones on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. It's not to say that it's a bad thing for those Verizon owners because it looks to be only a maintenance update and doesn't really offer anything exciting..........."

I uploaded the Cab here so everyone can download...even us Verizon users that got left out
This cab is for Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5.
Cheers!
If its any help this is version
Bing Mobile 5.1.2010.3290
Previous was
5.0.11249.0
Its alot quicker than the previous version and they have moved the menus to the bottom. I cant see much change.
I still prefer the old Bing/Live Search layout and configuration.
Movie times used to be so easy to browse, with the new style it does a bing search instead of getting the data from a provider. I think MS decided to cheap out. It's now basically useless in my books.

If they could combine the Style/look of the new with the functionality of the older one...they would have a winner

Thanks! I didn't even know this was the new Bing app. Never tried it before since the cabs I tried a while ago never worked. Too bad we can't have both Bing apps...

Using it on my Tmobile HD2 with Energy Rom. Working fine. I was using the previous version too and can't tell if there's any change. Wish it had a functional version of voice SMS like Microsoft TellMe.

Downloaded the latest directly from MS and installed on my Diamond/CDMA and it seems to be working fine. The one I used is a bit larger than the one a few posts up, so I've attached it for convenience.

Yeah, but isn't the Diamond WM 6.1?
I tested it on 6.1, but don't see why i won't work upwards, maybe the two are different versions indeed for different OS.
Mine worked on VGA TouchPro WM 6.1
i cant save 'gps tracking.' it remains unchecked everytime i check the settings. therefore gps is unable to locate me. this pop up always shows everytime i attempt to locate my position, "allow bing to access and store your location to improve searching and for navigation?" it doesnt matter if i chose ok or cancel because there are no change in results regardless. google maps is working fine for me so im sure its not a gps issue from my phone.
