hey guys i just stumbled into a nice new(launched 1-1-08) program called Pointui it's a skin program for wm5 & wm6 phones. i am running it right now on my wing and i love the damn thing. but don't take my word for it check out what JASON CHEN from Gismondo had to say about it :http://gizmodo.com/339835/pointui-s...it-usable-best-wm-skin-app-ever?autoplay=true . btw guys i am in now way whatsoever affiliated to whoever made the program, i've learned so many things about my wing from this site that i just wanted to give everyone a heads up. again the program it totally free with absolutley no hoops to jump through.
btw the program has to be installed through activesync ( just so u know) also the link to the website it at the bottom of the review.
and here the homepage:
http://www.pointui.com/
and the .cab for installing
Very nice indeed, I used it for 3/4 days and got sick of
the non-costumizable look. I subscribed to their forum,
a LOT of people want it to be costumizable, so I
think i'll wait for the next release.
I quote from PoitUI Forum:
The Dutchman said:
-Today screen Plug-in, just can't miss batteryStatus, quicklaunch and WLM.
-Graphic costomizer of course
-Inversing the up/down sliding
-At the right top, a CLOSE button when running an app
-When pressing e.g. WiFi in top, then activating it.
-Removal of Operator name
-when one want's to go to programs-->games (or whatever secondary
or third or fourth folder) not having to press (select) it, but slide on it to
the left to go to its content
But after all, KUDO'S 8)

There is one problem for all these today-good-lokking-interface-programms = they are working with windows apps.
but like pointui - all is finally redirected to the crappy winmobile software - when wiritng sms or anything else.
comming there, can be very nice - cube, pointui, spbmobile shell --> but at the end we stop there where we could get by
-->
pressing - start-programms-messaging

There is no .exe (and there is no cake).
To install a .cab file on your device you just copy the .cab on the device and then run the .cab.
got it

thanks got it to run, so far so good
I tried this out yesterday, it's pretty neat. My only 2 complaints are a lack of task manager and it eats up A LOT of battery. I uninstalled it.
Hi, I have a htc touch as well and really liked the 6.1 Professional that Erofich bought to us... so I managed to make my StarTrek look really cool.. wanted to share these few things to people who use it..
1st is a black Vista theme.. just copy it and paste it in your phone's /windows folder and change it from the today settings..
2nd is my fav.. its called dcinobar.. which remove the bottom bar from the home screen in your 6.1... and that make's your wallpaper look really cool..
and 3rd is something that made me think to add this thread.. its to hide the sim contacts..
hmmmm
4th one which i am testing right now us called HTC X button.. whcih close's a windows rather then minimizing it
Edit:
thank you for pointing that out lewnetoons.. i have updated it with Tom_fix_WM5 Storage and have also tested it..and its working fine.. and some thing else I tried out was the SPB mobile sheel 2 that i am using in my touch.. its working great.... and to be honest.. much faster then the touch.. .. the link to download that is http://flmsdown.net/software/24298-spb-mobile-shell-v2.0.0-build-3275.html
i would also be editing more things as i use it....
incase you found anything here useful.. the complete credit goes to Erofich.. i just had these file's in my hard drive.. i hope Erofich know's that he did a major thing for the StarTrek.. anyways the list of 6.1 expansion is endless.. i am also using fring right now.. which is a VOIP software from fring.com... try it out..
took a small video showing off SPB mobile shell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jaQO6EZL80
wm5storage doesnt work on 6.1 for me.
wm6.1 pro
you need to be using the pro version, works fine for me
Hi,
thank you for the vista theme, its really beautiful!

Thank you sapphire_pro.. please dont limit your self.. you could add more by going to http://www.modaco.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showcat=35
and many more as this.. do search around.. am sure you would find a million themes..
Dcinobar
dcinobar doesnt install on my smartphone...it says that the program is not intended for this device....i have a smartflip runing erofichs wm 6.1 does anyone have dcinobar that works for this?
im not sure if it will work on a startrek, as i have a hermes, just thought id let you know that if you install
HTC Task Manager
then you get the additional functionality of XButton too aswell as the taskmanager
But its posted in the startrek forum....so i thought it would be meant for it.. any alternative program that has same function as dcinobar?
i was referring to HTC Task manager as stated in my post
i dont own a star trek but thought you all might benefit from it rather than using X Button..
however the thread poster does own a startrek, and the dcinobar application works for him, so id suggest just wait until he can support you with it.
Read the first post carefully - its for Wm6.1 Professional, NOT Standard!
kind of my miss there mickeyt500 ...i have updated it.. anyways do try out the 6.1 pro version.. its worth it.. i am loading it on my 2nd StarTrek right now..
@sujahat
Could you tell me whether the Wisbar Application is Freeware or not?
Were can I get it?
wisbar is worth around $10http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvance/
however i got mine off rapidshare by searching...
I installed numerous versions of the HTC Home and no matter what i do it does not show on the Today screen.

run SoftSPL
thanks Erofich ! I use your RUU_STAR100_WM61PRO_V2 exe file, do I run softSPL first and then the intire exe file or do I need to run them all individually?
great rom work by the way!
READ everything before downloading please!
This is most likely the first beta(unless the moon turns blue and this beta is flawless) of the new AP 5.0 rom
its late at night and i will probably get a more detailed version of this and a vanilla uploaded tommorow but here is the run down:
most issues from 4.0 fixed hopefully.
new config app is in the works but didn't make it for this beta.
pretty much everything has been updated to latest and includes all working apps from the diamond rom.
album should now be reliable. haven't seen any problems with it coming up yet*knock on wood*
no manila sip since that changed the whole dialog stuff when composing emails and such. probably will end up as a cab in final with option to turn on and off the manila suggestions that replace the microsoft ones.
other things i dont remember
THIS IS FOR SPL 3.5 ONLY!!! IT IS A FULL ROM ALSO AND A BETA
please test app compatibility. also i tried to fix the realvga issues but it seems impossible without cmonex or creator of realvga.
one issue i would like to challenge someone to fix: a dialog should come up when connecting usb that should ask if u want to connect to activesync or mass storage mode. the exe for that dialog works(htcusbtopcdialog.exe or something like that in windows folder) but the dialog doesn't show up. browny points for the one who figures this out.
now here is the rom(remember this is for spl 3.5 only): DOWNLOAD SPL 3.5 ONLY
*note: sorry i had to say spl 3.5 so many times(still probably isn't enough) but i need to make sure some idiot doesnt try this with the old spl 1.XX*
Pawel
Can you make a Vanilla on the old spl please please please please? I don't want to repartition the memory unnecessarily, as it severely limits my ROM options.
Thanks!

dont worry there will be one. it was decided it was no good to do it for AP4 now, but AP5 WILL have one from day one. you have my guarantee for that
p.s.: I meant the final version above, but the beta will also have one tomorrow.

Your answer has made my day. I look forward to tomorrow, and hope can contribute to the testing effort also. Thanks so much.
Woot, trying now.
nice job.. ill stay posted
ssd upgrade?
will this rom support ssd upgrade from the poor microdrive?
can you flash from sdcard or is it just desktop only with this?
EDIT: appears desktop only, the 3.5bootloader keeps saying image not found, tried a few variations of ATHEIMG.nbh but no avail such as ATHE100.nbh ATHIMG.nbh ATHE100IMG.nbh
Cmonex, do you know what image name the new spl looks for?
Flashing With Microsd.....
hey all,
just a note, i have spl 3.5 on my x7501 and have flashed 4 different variations of cooked roms now, including AP 3.0 and a few others, and all from microsd... the only one i have found that WILL NOT flash from microsd is AP 4.0, as i cannot find a .nbh file after extracting the .exe (but it may be possible)...
Anyways, sorry i cannot say for sure that you can flash THIS rom yet as i havent tried it, but you CAN flash from microsd/minisd with spl 3.5 as long as the file name is ATHEIMG.nbh --- ONLY! (as far as i know)
hi
no comments, no screenshot from the 1st users ?
is it possible for you to make a version of AP 5.0 beta without all the extra programs in system and programs menu. Thank's
So far so good. AP5 Seems to be faster than AP4. Installing softwares now. I like the new volume control. Will keep posted.
Playing with it now, thanks a lot again to all!!
Looks very sleek and is definitely a lot quicker than AP4!
I like the new comm manager, but after switching to 128dpi it became unresponsive...
Tapping on any of its icons (WiFi, bluetooth etc.) simply makes it disappear...
Will report more later...
Cheers

Nope that doesn't work here with either ap4 Irus' 3.5spl rom or ap5.
-------
In the end I installed at work, as I found a cable in with one of the cameras.
seems much faster that ap4. not felt need to start tweaking too much yet..
Initial thougts, startmenu is set too big for initial load in 192dpi, might be best to turn it off set it smaller for initial run.
new htc home still prevents igo8 from starting. turn it off reboot and works fine.
Replaced htc home with UL and rltoday combo for speed and reliability.
new task manager and popup screen for system state is nice, when you press the new funky icons at the top. turned off task manager and use WKtask though instead as more functional.
Not checked yet what the buffer setting for the SD card is, on AP4 I set it to 256 as larger files loaded faster. But seems good so far.
Can write large files to MD without it corrupting, so maybe it was something in AP4 that was causing it.
Nice big buttons to press to answer calls!
Overall vast improvement.
FWIW i'm sticking with 192dpi for the time being as I like S2P and S2U2 which I'm about to install.
update, as typing had problem #1.
screen locked on incoming call, this was 3rd call I've had but 1st problem. had total commander open and flexmail (but not syncing). Not certain what caused it, can turn off screen with power button so device not hard locked, but reset with pinhole and it's working again.
Tested incoming call after reset with no issues, if I get it again I'll see if I can work out why.
Testing AP5 BETA
I have installed the AP5 beta this morning and it is working great. So far i have found only one change needed. But that is not an issue with using this rom. The first screen after reset is shows "Smart mobility, Featuring AP4" and it should say AP5.
Bluetooth, Wifi, and other software problems which we had in the AP4 are gone . It is a very good work by AP team. Thanks to all.
Before you release the AP5 can you please update the WKTask to version 1.173c which is the latest.
Anyone struggling with AP4 SPL 3.5 should try this. You will love it. Once again Thanks for the AP Team. Some screenshots from my device with AP5 Beta
Opera 9.5 build 781 with AP5 not working
I installed Opera 9.5 build 781 in AP5. It installed without problems, but I couldnt open Opera. Anybody else have the same problem ?.
Other softwares I tried and are working fine are
SPB Diary, SPB Finance, SPB Wallet, SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, Pocket Informant 8, Resco Photo Viewer Pro, Resco Keyboard and Resco File Explorer.
Thanks again for the ROM.
Thanks once again for your work.
New icon of Bluetooth in the bar of tasks.
New icon of 3g and bar of signal
It does not turn the single screen?
Good bare speed (Far better for my pleasure)
New system of tasks… when pressing on the icons in the bar of tasks appears to us a screen to use with the fingers… half strange… will be necessary to be accustomed….
Garmin XT follows without working. Why... Why....????
Bye!!!!

i hope so to. I would much rather make this rom as a community then by myself
Irus and Michy,
Both of you are my heroes. Thank you. I'm aware however of some errors and speed problem of the original chinese version, and am waiting for the "stabilisation version " atm. I'm currently using mutou version 1 which is fast and no serious bug. Good that you have gained the expertise to do the translation, as we can then do it for all future non-english ROM.
Irus, don't worry about so many ROMS. You've given us more choices, that's all. We thank you for these. Keep up the good work!
Irus and Michy,
Can you put back the standard keyboard and remove the chinese SIPs? If we can fix the setting to turn off auto-rotate and have touchflo setting it will be sweet. Also, for some reasons, my Sprite backup does not work. All these were among the problems in the chinese version.
Okay, I tried out the spl1.2 Translated (into English) version of Mutou's ROM.
First, I checkd through the settings and noted the following:
1. In the power setting, there are three tabs with names called "10 sec", "30 sec" and "1min". I think the correct name for them should be "External Battery", "Internal Battery", and "Backlight brightness" or similar wording.
2. TouchFLO setting is all messed up.
3. Soft key setting are still in Chinese. I think we should either remove this, or have it in English.
4. Auto-rotate setting still does not respond.
5. A4 keyboard should be completely removed and replaced by the standard keyboard
6. We should hide extended-ROM2
7. I can't find camera application, However, I am able to start the camera if I use the picture viewer program. The problem, however, is that all the usual camera settings such as choosing the mode, resolution, etc, are not responding to user actions.
8. When I tried to set up my data service provider's setting, I noticed that it only has ability to set up dialed up modem, so I'm unable to test any 3G data connection.
9. SMS services setting gives a blank screen.
10. Although the start menu has a link to phone, phone application does not exist. I can't start a dialer. However, I am able to go to the contact application and make a call, although I'm then unable to end the call since there is no dialer.
11. The Notes application does not start.
12. Camera application started via the picture viewer does not offer the opportunity to use microdrive as storage, although microdrive is functioning properly.
13. Window Media Player does not produce any sound.
14. After using the device for a while, the device stop producing sound although Sound Setting has checked the bottom two entries.
At this point, I installed my wktask and FtouchSL.
Then, all applications stop working, wherease the file explorer was working before this. Contact applicaion no longer could start. Calender could not start, and shows an error saying "No program memory availalble. Tap Start>Settings>system tab>memory , stop programs that did not automatically stop, and try again". Actually no program is running yet. I then uninstalled both wktask and Ftouchsl. The ROM does not seem to allow it to be successfully removed.
At this point, I could not proceed any further.
Good try though, at least most of the text are in English now. Looking forward to the second attempt.

Hullo Michy,
If you managed to solve these issues, would you avail it for both spl's..1.2 & 3.5
Cheers
for now, i have fixed smsservice and backlight issue + standard virtual keyboard input.
You can solve this on your ppc with overwriting file in attached zip in /windows folder and import the keyboard.reg registry file.
Then reboot...
I cant fix more for now...
have a problem
i can not run the Phone in the Programs menu.

There is'nt a need to pursue this further, because the purpose of the translation is to get something like what is shown in your link. Thank for the effort.
Sergiopi, I recommend that the translated ROM link in your ROM list thread be removed because they are still very half baked.
I'm not sure I"m posting in the right place -so do tell me if I'm not.
I have a pretty new 8525 user. I just upgraded Rom's and chose Josh's Springtime ROm (build 21501.5.0.70)
I have also downloaded skyfire.
I'd like to add skyfire to my today list but don't know how? I went into settings but if I choose items other than windows default - I lose the nice menu and get the original plain old drop down. What do I need to do?
Also how do I add something to the favorites list? Right now all that is there iis various microsoft windows items..internet explorer, windows live etc.
Finally can anyone point me where to go to remap the IE button to skyfire?
Thanks for any help, I've tried searching but am just not coming up with answers.
CArolyn
You might be better off posting it in josh's thread for the rom.
But, you should be able to remap the buttons in settings>buttons.
And you should be able to change the menu under settings>menu (if it's 6.1).
I've never used josh's springtime rom, so I'm not sure if something is different, or if that is one of the 6.5 roms.
Thanks I finally found the buttons setting and got that done...
Josh's Springtime ROM is a 6.5 rom...I'll post in his ROM thread and see if I can get direction...
