Hi
I just downloaded the official ROM-upgrade for the Touch Dual to WM6.1
It seems that HTC have removed WM6.1's original Home Screen and replaced it with their standard HTC Home Screen.
Is it possible somehow to download the original WM6.1 home screen and load into the Touch Dual? I would like the WM6.1 home screen with the new functions instead of the old HTC Home screen.
Did u download it from the official site??
Do u have the 16-key version? or the 20-key version?
which home screen do you mean?
The WM6.1 Homescreen is simply nothing, only enable some points on Settings-Today.
The HTC Home Screen is called HTC Home, with big clock an shortcuts (Wetaher, Programs, Sound)
I don't see any differenses
I have the 16-key version.
And the WM 6.1 home screen is something special.
You are thinking about the old WM 6.0 home screen.
If you watch the video on Microsoft official site for WM 6.1 you'll see that they got a new home screen where you can easily see emails, contacts, voicemail and so on. Not anything like the old one on WM6.0
But it seems that on the official upgrade from HTC they removed this home screen in favor of their old HTC Home screen which they also had in WM6.0.

???
can someone please post screenshots?
As my XDA star had it's original ROM, it looked like that:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I was hoping it would be possible to enable the WM6.1 home screen as Microsoft shows in this video: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/6-1/default.mspx
Mine just got the standard HTC Home that you just showed in a screenshot
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/meet/version-compare.mspx
as you can see here, the touch screen version (or professional) of WM6.1 does not include the new home screen "Sliding Panel Home Screen"
Oh ic, that sux, looked promissing for a touch screen tho..
Oh, didn't know this Version of home Screen. Looks realy cool.
Hope someone could port it to Touch Phones

I haven't seen any of the rom's using quickmenu which is a small addon that adds alot of functionality to any rom but also makes navigation between programs and menu's alot easier if you are running the pro version on your startrek. I've attached some screenshots and the cab but I'm just a happy user..the program is chinese in origin and was translated...used widely in the wizard forums. It adds the ability to reboot via menu....close programs....well..I'll let the screenshots speak for themselves.....

It's actually only a single exe and can be easily added to any rom but I've attached a cab for convenience.
does it run on wm6.1 standard?

It should.
the installation went without problems.
but how do i call quickmenu? i tried using the start button, but nothing happen...
Standard doesn't have the concept of a drop down start menu. Basically, in standard when you press start it goes straight to Programs folder, so QuickMenu will NOT work on Standard.
Although I haven't tried it, after you installed it, did you go to Start QuickMenu to start it? Then press the start menu? I'd be surprised if it worked though, but just a thought after typing the above.

Well..if it's gonna work...you can try going into programs and runnning it manually...if nothing happends to your start menu then it's not gonna work and you can uninstall.

I just tried it on my 8500 with WM6.1 Standard installed. Installs fine as stated, but it doesn't do anything (as I guessed). So QuickMenu is just for the Pro version (but it works GREAT in the pro version and makes navigating that much easier on the Startrek).
there is an alternative called rightmenu. this will work on the standard version of wm6.1 and does about the same as quickmenu...
Since quickmenu doesn't work on the smartphone...for those that would like a FREE alternative take a look at http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-smarttoolkit-1-00-rc09.html
martToolkit adds some sweet functions to your device, as well as a beautiful interface.
A new Start Menu, which is more XP / Vista like is added, as well as a Clipboard function that allows you to Cut/Copy/Paste, activate 2P (Double Press) functionality as well as using the numeric keypad to navigate (acting like your D-Pad).
A automatic keylock is included, with a great screensaver function that allows you to display analog clock or digital clock when the keys are locked. Also possible are shortcuts to STK functions (but also any program), which can be defined within the STK settings.
While I can't disagree, the "standard" version of WM6.1 wont run with QuickMenu, the Original Post was indicating the Pro version of WM6.1. Yes, I see that others have asked about the "Standard" verison, there appears to have been some confusion. For clarification to everyone. The opening post is based on the WM6.1 Pro (as in Professional, PPC version) Rom distributed by pArtizAn. He has a SP/Standard version as well. Both run on the same phone. Personally, I prefer the Pro version (I've always hated the menus and layouts of the SP/Standard versions). But that's just my opinion.
here is a program i just made in .NET
it was requested here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2805542

Can we get a snap shot?
Thanks

New version released, first post updated with more info
Hello Ather, I found this utility very useful. In hotel, in the night, I leave my Htc on charge near the bed with display on and I launch Simple Clock to trasform it in a digital clock.
Do you think it's possible to add some features? For example a landscape mode, the ability to choice the font color, enable/disable seconds, display alarm settings, etc..
thank you!
heh i didnt know this app was usefull
im currently on Windows 7 and my Visual Studio 2008 DVD is borken, will take few days to get a new one, then i could give it a shot
Thank you Ather, there is a similar app for the iPhone but nothing simple and small for Win Mobile.
The only one is Simple Clock..
Hello,
I have tried it on my touch pro and it shows on the upper left corner and is very small.
I guess it has something to do with resolution.
Any workaround??
thanks in advance..

Looks like this is for QVGA and you have a VGA device, so it shows in one quarter of your screen.

I think you on to something here. Something simple but elegant. Landscape would be excellent. I have the touch pro 2 and would be nice to have this at my night stand tilted up. Thanks again for a great little program!

Hello Ather, thank you for this new release, I just installed it but I receive an error when I try to launch Simple Clock.
The message say: The file or the assembly 'System.Windows.Forms,Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969.............' is not found.
Fortunately I have not uninstalled the 0.2 release, but I want to try the new version, so can you give me some info about this error and how to solve it?
(I have an HTC Trinity (P3600) with WinMobile 5)

it needs .NETCF 3.5 ( i figured most of the ppc's had it..)
Thanks for the little proggy. Posted simple clock on my site.
possible to set 24H?
its Device dependent, if you set the device's setting to 24H , it will display 24H
It isn't a alarmclock is it?
It's a night clock, so you can use your phone to show the time in the night. It's useful in hotel, for example, and every time you don't have a desktop clock for the night. To make it work correctly you have to disable the auto shut-off function of your phone, in my Htc Trinity I set the time for automatic shut-off to 12hr, I don't think to sleep so much..
Hi
the Weather Tab in TF3D from the Touch HD shows also the Forecast. Is anybody working on a port to our Touch Pro or is there already a ROM with that Weather Tab?
Cheers

As far as I see the development stopped on this one as they found some blocking issues with porting it to the Raphael.
Anyway it looks a nice TF3D hope they can get it working on Raphael also.
But someone has just made a cab with the new touch flo from HD to Xperia...

HD's manila is compatible to Xperia because these two devices have both WVGA screens. Raphael's or Diamond's screen is VGA. This is the problem.

Yes I know that but the VGA development seems to have stopped, or reached a dead end.
Guys, thanks for this info.
I hope that they continue with the development. I find the weather forecast from the HD much nicer. I dont want to first tab on the screen...

NueNoBar2 is updated, should work with all versions of WM now, and it has some mechanisms to try to be intelligent with new versions of WM.
If you don't know what this is, it removes the bottom menu bar on the today screen so you have more space for your today screen items.
It doesn't work with manila (manila makes its own bar).
well doneeeeeee
thank you very much.
No go with Calcu's kitchen 4.4.
Edit: sorry I have Manila turned on!!! Scratch what I said.
is it any other way to remove the menu bar for manilla? Mabye in the settings by chance?
it really annoys the hell outta me..

My current skin goes below the bar so it would replace it. I hardly even use the buttons so I don't feel that I have to replace it with anything else atm.
Hi no2chem, i have some feedback 4 you! ^^
The newest version of nuenobar doesn't work correctly on my device (HTC Diamond)
The 2.0 move my today items down, like a "invisible plugin" using the first item space on today.
Here the Screens about the issue:
With 2.0:

}
With 1.3:
I have a custom SPANISH rom based on official 2.03 5.2.20769, today separators eliminated and no more plugins than showen on screen.
hope that helps!
bye!
I have the same problem as driskol on my imate 8502.
Back to 1.3 for now.
I have same problem as Driskol, rom build 20771. Previous version 1.3 works correctly.
ah, oldest version i tested was 20931, so that might explain why everyone with version below 20931 is having problems. Guess I'll have to take a look at that.
+1! Cant you make this work for Manila? I never use the Softkeys and would love more screen space!

yeah, i accidently made it work for manila at one point, just have to find the code...
I'm new to this app and it definitely works as advertised. Much appreciated. Just a quick question, is there some sort of hidden quick toggle to get your bottom tray back? It removed the tray along with the soft keys, and sometimes I need quick access to the bottom tray.
Big ISSUE
hey guys i have been using nuenobar for 6months now and i have no idea why hasnt anyone come up with this issue.
NUENOBAR AND TASKBAR MANAGER DONT GO HAND IN HAND.
with nuenobar installed, and taskbar customised to close the application on pressing the close button, the application doesnt close but instead just gets minimised. and then you hav to click on task manager to close it.
why is this so?
Great, glad to see an update for this app. I can slowly phase out using TouchFLO.
i am using touch hd.
nuenobar is working fine until wm6.5 21812
from version wm6.5 21815 onwards nuenobar is not workiung anymore.
can anybody confirm this?
another problem I experience for quite a while: after nuenobar is installed, htc task manager is not closing the applications any more, just minimizing.
i installed this to the treo pro (320x320), i am also experiencing the same as driskol.
any update on this? doesnt seem to work correctly with wm6.5 and also htc task manager no longer close program when hit x even it was set to close when hit the x close button. tia
so did anyone figure out how to remove the bottom softkey bar with manila on?
Hello,
I had yesterday simple idea, use swype gesture to go up one level in Start Menu. After about 2 hours, work was done.
Animation is better than 100 words:

Like... you go from left to right (well, it works even in opposite direction) and if you move it with right, it puts you one level up.

Have fun!
Note: this is for WM6.5 and higher!
You continue to amaze me
Looks great,
This option is already there for 6.5.x start menu, right? Would this only be fore 6.5 or 6.1?
This is built on 6.5.3 DTK, but it uses only default stuff for WM6.5 (test it somebody please, thanks). WM6.1 doesn't contain StartMenu of this type, so no. Only WM6.5 and later .

I'm using Xperia X1 WM 6.5.
Wow. I must admit something so simple why the heck did MSFT *NOT* have something like this when they came up with their "newer" start menu in WM 6.5+? It does kinetic scrolling on up/down gestures, what's one more thing for them to add? Oh well.
Great work OndraSter! I can confirm this (via the cab install) works on a slightly older Energy ROM:
Energy.RHODCDMA.23121.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.21 (6.5.3 based)
I tested (via cab install) on my clean ROM WM 6.5 build 21914 and it works . Thank you for your great work!
Thanks for sharing!
It is not working on my Omnia i900L with spanish ROM WM 6.5.5. If i just swype nothing happens if i tap hold and swype the folder icon moves
Thats weird, are you sure you are moving to the right side? (works left-right and right-left too) The total distance on Y axis must be lower than 70px, and on X axis it must be more than 110px PLUS what you moved on Y axis.
Works fine on my htc mega wm6.5
how do you get the list style start menu in 6.5.X? all i have is the honeycomb version. thx
Took me about 5 reboots of phone to get it into this style, a bit of playing with cpr's and math
(Plus icons are taken from some VGA device, I use 60x60 icons, about 5MB RAM saves compared to 90x90.)
Unsurprisingly, it works exactly as advertised on your TP2 ROM.

I can do some stuff, but not much... I'm no C programmer, I know just the basics needed for this and PTZ (they both work at the same base, just different math ).
