First I have to thank a couple of ppl, whithout whom this plugin would not see the light of day:
rPereira, chriscsh, MrDSL and dgaud007 for the great ideas, plugin fixes and CAB optimization.
APBilbo, for the excelent message to registry app.
This works on Mortscript (that already comes with Titanium Weather) and takes about 160kb or ram on your device.
Contents:
-----------
- First page:
The first page has the skinned clock, small date and the current weather. The weather info and icon is taken from Showaco's Titanium weather. No point on creating a separated weather viewer when that is already perfect.
If a sms or missed call is received the icons and numbers pop-up on the page.
The main button opens a pre-chosen link (in my case Resco Explorer, all this is configurable in the Settings), the bottom right button updates the weather (it takes about 10 secs, so be patient).
If there is a missed call or new message, the main button changes to call history or message app.
Also, if you have any alarms enabled, it will show a icon, but if you have any unread SMS, the ALARM icon is hidden by the SMS icon.
- Second page:
The system bars are on the second page.
The main button opens Memory settings and the right button open Multi Settings , the left refreshes the plugin, if needed.
If your memory card is not named "STORAGE CARD", then you must change it on the settings. The battery icon becomes on fire when its being charged.
- Third page:
The third page is a SMS viewer, with the help of APBilbo's (Throttle Launcher) Message2Reg.exe.
Click to open a menu that lets you see the all the messages/reply/create new message, the left softkey to see the previous and the right button to see the next.
- Fourth page:
A image viewer is on page 4. You need to configure the folder you want to see on the MultiSettings.
Click to open a menu that lets you see the current image/refresh the image list/set image as wallpaper (limites to image size and extension), the left softkey to see the previous and the right button to see the next.
It lists the images on first run (or every time you run the Settings), and it takes some tiem, depending on how many images are there, so be patient.
Please note that bigger images take longer to load. Also, it loads ALL files, so if you have non-image files in there, it will show a red cross instead.
- Condensed view:
The condensed view shows the small weather icon with temperature, the clock (in text view) and the notification icons (if there are any).
The clock, notifications and battery charge icon auto-updates every 1 second. The rest, every 10 seconds.
To use:
------------
- Install Titanium weather (if for some strange reason you havent already and configure your city on it). This also installs Mortscript, that is the base of my plugin.
- Install my attached CAB into your device (if it gives you a error during install, use the attached script-fix made by rPereira.)
- If you are updating, run the Kill_TWolf.mscr script that is on the Acessories folder in Start menu, BEFORE installing the new CAB.
- You can customize some settings if you open the MultiSettings editor (you need Flash 7 to run it).
- All the icons, clock, bars and shortcuts can be easily skinned and configurable on the instalation folder..
- Reset and enjoy!
v1.6:
What's new in v1.6c:
---------------------
- Fixed small bug that didnt open the main image. A manual fix is also here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4115269&postcount=395
- Removed the other buggy versions... :/
What's new in v1.6b:
---------------------
- Fixed a small bug that caused the SMS menu not being centered. A manual fix is already here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4111994&postcount=387
What's new in v1.6:
---------------------
- The main button on the picture page opens kvvQuickMenu.
- The main button on the sms page also opens a menu.
- Reply to sms on the menu
- New sms on the menu
- Refresh list on the menu
- Add as wallpaper on the menu (restricted to jpg images with your screen size)
- Different refresh mode
- Changed the network signal check
- Removed the refresh list from TWolf.mscr, its now manual (less time on boot).
- Added a "are you sure?" dialog to the refresh list
- Removed some unnecessary files from the CAB.
- v1.5 moved to post #4.
Errors:
--------
- Before updating, run the Kill_TWolf.mscr script that is on the Acessories folder in Start menu.
- If you have a error installing, run the attached rPereira fix first.
- If the clock starts to change size continuously, go to the second page and use the left softkey button REFRESH.
- If you have a error opening a shortcut, change it on the MultiSettings that is on the second page right Softkey.
- If the MultiSettings editor doesnt close properly, you need to install Flash 7,
- If the weather icon is giving an error, update your Titanium weather with this small fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3949075&postcount=1077
- If the left button doesnt change for some reason... Post here a PNG screenshot with the correct size of your today screen. If you dont know how to do this, install mymobiler.com and post here a screenshot of your screen, make sure the size is correct. Since this forum transforms the PNGs in JPGs youll need to host it outside, for example, you can host your image on imageshack.us .
- If your weather icons have a wierd size, I'd advice the Beyond Invisible Iconset.
- If you reset your device with notifications pending, that link becomes the default, even after the notifications disappear. I have to think of a way to fix this, but in the meantime, ppl can use the MultiSettings to fix it manually.
- If you want this plugin to become your default plugin (the one that appears when you press the red button), simply place it on top of the other plugins and disable the default clock, with Titanizer or Chome.
- If your SMS menu isnt centered, run this script.
-If the main image doest open with the menu, use this fix.
To Do:
-------
- Add WVGA and QWVGA landscape screen sizes (users, please help)...
twolf thanks for your great hard work.
Before i try does it work with VGA devices.
wow this is GOOD Job
thanx TWolf for GREAT plugin
----Older versions----
Small update v1.5b:
-----------------------
- Fixed bug that never showed phone signal as 0% even if it was off.
- Fixed bug that didnt closed M2RW.EXE from the system, stealing over 600kb of ram.
- After receiving a new SMS now the Message2REG updates the SMS list every 10 seconds.
- Fixed small bug on the Settings that didnt restored the correct values (on non-WWE systems).
- To install, copy the attached files to the TWolf instalation folder and reset or use the Restart_TWolf script.
Whats new on v1.5:
-----------------------
- Fixed the 12-hour clock bug
- Added fix to automaticly change back to the default left button if you changed plugin without passing by the clock page.
- Fixed the AM-PM bug, thanks Gibbs.
- Added different OS languages install support.
- Updated the Multi Settings Editor to support this too.
- Removed update from first post.
Whats new on v1.4:
-----------------------
- Remade the icons, bars and clock skin for bigger sizes (VGA), I only noticed that they looked so bad when I saw a VGA printscrenn...
- Finally changed the network signal icon.
- Added alarms notifier. The icon is overplaced by the sms icon if you have any unread sms.
- Added dgaud007 storage card fix, for cards bigger than 2GB (thanks! ).
- Added color codes ... This allows for a better use, because it changes the left softkey button by page (all the buttons take about 1 second to update).
- Theres now a REFRESH left button on system page
- And a PREVIOUS left button on SMS page, the right button is now NEXT and the main button opens all SMS's.
- Also a PREVIOUS left button on photos page, the right button is now NEXT and the main button open the picture.
- Added more shortcuts.
- Added one shortcut to update the image list, in case you want to see a picture you just took. Since it lists files alphabetically, you probably need to press PREVIOUS to see it.
- Some code optimization.
- Was forced to remove the clock background option...too many images.
- Also had to remove the backup battery bar, come to think of it, it wasnt very usefull, since the phone had to be whithout battery for it to show other values than 100%...
- Added operator name to fill in the empty space, only optimized the centering of the text for qvga and wqvga portrait (its the only resolution I have)...
- Removed older versions from this post and moved the history changes to post #4 (I always forget to create a new thread with 2 or 3 reserved posts ).
Whats new in v1.3:
-------------------
- Fixed sms and phone path bugs.
- Added VGA portrait screen size from pablo96 (thank you )...
- Added option to Show/hide pages (in Settings > Advanced > Pages).
- Added a background option to the clock skins (its transparent on the default skin ).
- Added usefull shortcuts to the Start menu (refresh titanium, remove plugin, etc)
I checked the extra date request, but it could get sloppy... because, depending on your OS language, the letters could become a little on top of the minutes... :/
Whats new in v1.2:
-------------------
- Added two modes of viewing the date, european and american ( day/month/year or month/day/year)
- Added two modes of viewing the system values (megabytes or percentage)
- The Weather icon is now bigger on Page 1 (condensed icon is the same size).
- Changed links in the second page (system bars), now the main button goes to the Memory settings and the right softkey opens this Multi Plugin settings.
- Added the possibility of skins on icons, clock and bars, just create your own pngs in a new folder.
- Added Settings editor (you need Flash 7 to use it).
- Added in the APPS folder scrits to kill the TWolf script or to completly uninstall the plugin (script, folder, regkeys), you still need to remove it on the STAR > Settings > System > Remove... its just to help in case he doesnt want to go.
- Changed the way the pictures are listed, and added a script to delete the album.cache files.
- Removed old versions (the editor changes a lot of things).
- Added the missing T to the CAB file... (Didnt noTiced it was missing.)
NOTE: Everytime you reset your device, the script resets itself, loads your current settings, restarts the SMS viewer, refreshes the image list (this can take a while, depending on how many images are) and finally refreshes the plugin.
Everytime you save the settings, it does all this again.
Whats new in v1.1:
-------------------
- Added full date on page 1 and 12/24 clock view, configurable on the settings area of TWolf.mscr (open it with notepad).
- Changed the battery, charging battery and internal battery icons on page 2.
- Added some more tweaking on SMS reader on page 3.
- Added image viewer on page 4.
You need to configure the folder you want to see on the Settings.
Center or ENTER click goes to the next image and right softkey goes to the previous. It lists the images on first run (or every time you run TWolf\pics\Picture_list.mscr)
Please note that bigger images take longer to load.
Also, it loads ALL files, so if you have non-image files in there it will show a red cross in its behalf.
- Added weather temperature on condensed view.
- The icons image files are now on a separate folder.
- Uninstall old version, reset, install new version, reset.
hi twolf. great work brother
why do u use this value for sms?
Contact = RegRead("HKLM","Software\ThrottleLauncher\Messaging\SMS","Sender")
If we dont use throttlelauncher what shall we use here?
thats not being used at the moment, but the sms viewer from APBilbo saves the sms's there.
And that way that used the correct current sms to reply.
so erm... we wont be able to view sms if we dont have it installed or it doesnt matter?
All the necessary files are on the cab.

My weather icon isn't showing, it's just a white X (in a red circle )
+ Twolf, can you add to the Previous Message thing: If you're on the first message it should jump to the last message?

It pulls the icons from the weather plugin settings in the registry so it should work fine but I have noticed that the beyond icons look the best IMHO. I always install those icons and select them in the weather options.
Looking good twolf Everything so far is working for me. I do have a question on the clock. Is there anyway for it not to be military time? and also when its like say 8:15am can the zero before the 8 be taken away?
Just something minor but thought I would ask..
Also when viewing another panel is there a way to show the current temp next to the weather icon? I attached a screenshot so you know what I'm talkin bout. Last thing how hard would it be to include new email like you do for new txt on the main screen?
Keep up the good work man this is a sweet plugin

What do you have in registry setting
HKLM/Software\Microsoft\CHome\TitaniumWeather\Page1\CurrentIcon ?
there is no currenticons or something, just Icon which refers to an icon in the titaniumweather folder condicons icon 03.png
and in Twolf's registry it says nothing at the icons
Once again TWolf you've surpassed yourself and have come up with something beautiful for us QVGA users,thank you brother.
Twolf,
Congratulations on this great plugin. It looks beautiful from your screenshot, and I'm sure it will look good once I finish flashing my Kaiser and install it.
I'm moving on to a Diamond 2 in a few days time, and 6.5 is still not available for it. Going to miss all the wonderful 6.5 plugins.
Keep it up and hope you can make your plugin compatible to WVGA soon.

My problem is fixed, i had to change Twolf.mscr to read my reg key for the weathericon which was just Icon, and Text for the degrees.
Hi, awesone plugin Twolf, but how can make this the default plugin if I want to put this like third plugin?
Another question, I´m using the spil Icons, In condensed mode only show the upper half of the icon, how I can fix it?
Will be wonderful if you can put the degrees on side of weather in condensed mode, I hope the you can fix the 2gb issue for mortscript.
Regards

Use Titanizer or Chome editor.
Yes, the weather temperature can be there too, plenty of space, the 2GB size issue Im still not sure how to do... :/
Test of the image viewer page:
Add this to the CPR before the condensed area (if you dont know how, its best if you dont do it at all, wait for the next version)
Code:
<!-- Large picture in Center -->
- <Image ID="big_image" Left="20" Top="-60" Width="200" Height="200" ScaleStyle="Fit">
<Layer ID="Border" Color="0xffffff" Left="17" Top="-103" Width="206" Height="206" />
</Image>
<Text ID="image_counter" Left="100" Top="95" Width="50" Height="34" FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="10" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter" InnerTextType="Resource" Text="cmhomeres.dll,1025">
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetDropBottomRight" Color="#00000000" TextOffset="1" BlurFactor="3" Alpha="1.0" />
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFFFF" />
</Text>
Add the zipped files to the TWolf folder and restart.
Take in mind that it it creates a fresh list of the pics files in the folder you chose in the settings (TWolf.mscr) and refreshes the SMS's too.
Bigger images take more time to load.
Center click (or ENTER) for next pic, right bt for previous.
Enjoy.
This project is no longer active due do a hard-drive crash and my loss of the source code.. To anyone looking for an active and up-to-date solution, I would suggest naong's MobileSense and his BackgroundChanger. It is very similar to MS3Config and I believe he will be implementing more features as time goes on.
Spb Mobile Shell 3 Configuration Utility (MS3Config v0.16)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a small application I am developing that I hope will evolve into a full-fledged skin editor for Spb Mobile Shell 3. At the moment it only has the ability to change panel backgrounds (among some other helpful tool options), but it has a decent GUI and is unique in that it does not overwrite any changes that have previously been made to your copy of MS3 by other skins or widget packs... I have a long way to go but take a look at the features in the changes list and the planned features below it... Please give as much feedback as possible, good or bad, and don't hesitate to make suggestions... This is my attempt at giving back to the community, please enjoy it ...

Have you tried changing the backgrounds to some of your own? I installed the app on my friend's Mogul this morning and noticed that everything was patched correctly but only half of the panels actually showed backgrounds ...
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the resolutions of the images I included are meant for VGA displays ...
Try changing the images to something smaller and let me know what happens

What is the installation folder for your copy of MS3? .. The folder with MobileShell.exe in it ...
I found a bug:
It worked great and changed the backgrounds just like intended. But I am using the titanium theme for MS3 and when you scroll down the new background ends you scroll into the old background. It seems your program crops the image to your screen size and thats all.
iPAQ 614c
Works just fine on my QVGA, havent tried it on VGA devices. This is very good work. I hope this will eventually be fully integrated with all Themes, widgets etc. Yes, this is very much needed!!

I'm still learning the specifics regarding the scrolling behavior and backgrounds but I'll look into it as soon as possible ...
You say that scrolling past the background you set with MS3Config will show the background from the Titanium theme below it? ... Which panels do you see this behavior and do you have a link to a download of the Titanium theme handy? I'm away from my desktop but I'll try to reproduce the problem you are describing.

If it doesn't work and requires alot of work to port .. Most likely not for a while ..

In Spanish doesn't work!!
In Spanish, the default folder is \Archivos de programa\... for M3 and M3Config. When I try the 'panels' menu in M3Config, this error appears:
\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\qa_layouts.dat is not a valid zip file
And it's normal, cause the correct file is in '\Archivos de programa\Spb Mobile Shell\...' how can I change this? A registry entry?
Thanks a lot for your help!!!
Hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english; I´m not a developer, I´m just a enthusiast with very limited knowledge
This is NOTHING new; although CHT provides A LOT of extra features (incluiding a beatiful launcher), but CHT is a TODAY PLUGIN, and their use involves the "exit " the application in the foreground.
After tried too many launchers, I couldn`t find anything with a "System-Utility-flavor" (the feel of actual launchers are like an app more, with a normal window); I searched a launcher capable of appear in top of any window (without completly cover it), with minimal impact in the state of the foreground window...
To explain this, an example is an old misunderstood app; that was SideX
www.theunwired.net/?item=review-mtux-com-sidex-2002-applet-platform
Or this type of app, BUT configurable for a Launcher in "Launch Pad mode", and Alt-Tab task switcher and other capabilities (the launcher offered by this software company is another app, but is a today plugin):
http://www.sbsh.net/products/windows_mobile_pocket_pc/phoneweaver
Coming back to WM6.5.x, Taskbar Launcher is very good in that sense, but because its development was stopped, no more support, and I could never get rid of a system freeze when I hit in a empty space. However, it has several useful features that can be implemented for other similar apps
Well, so far the closest application to SideX I've found (but fully functional) is a commercial launcher named "Hi-Launcher", from a software company with several years in the the PDA world
I know, someone who has seen, maybe think that it is an application rather ugly and old-fashioned, but I think that with the adequate settings It can be very USEFUL, although with small icons It can be operated with the fingers without issues (the selection can be "dragged" and the desired action only will started once you release the desired icon)
I´m not related in anyway with this software company, only want to show my set of utilities an personal setup, that probably will be useful for someone else. In fact, if anyone knows of other similar application with the same functionality and feeling, please let me know! ( of course, after testing this "pack" )
The provided cab is conformed by several utilities developed for xda members, with a setup adapted with the mentioned commercial app (the cab does NOT includes Hi-Launcher). In summary the two main parts of this "suite" are: The xda freeware utilities preconfigured, and the commercial launcher ( named as "RNS Hi-Launcher" )

---Hi-Launcher personalized menu in WM6.5.x----
FEATURES/XDA APPS
-"Floating" Launch Pad, without interfering any open app (maybe only interfers on pausing video playback)
-Anywhere, anytime the preconfigured functions will be available
-Is included a "start menu" icon (that launch the standard WM6.5.x Start Menu), because in this setup, its purpose tis not to replace the Windows Start menu (this thanks to TBL`s commands)
-As Task Manager, its conformed with xTask, with the most reliable setting for WM6.5.x custom ROMs
-XTask is complemented with uTask, because Ameba doesn´t work well for it
-By default, in the top bar appears the icons of open apps and you can select to activate the desired app (default xtask/xhook brehavior), but it only was possible by delaying the autostart of xHook (because the use of TBL that normally interferes in this feature, but fixed through the delay of initializing xHook) .
If you dont´t want to have the top bar with icons of open apps, please delete the "xHook_delay.lnk" file from "\Windows\Startup"
-arkSwitch is disabled, because xTask with the correct setting (and uTask assistance) work best ; while ameba and akswitch can be reenabled after desinstall this "pack".
-Rotate Screen function, Camera, File explorer, etc, with availability anytime
-Torch icon (netripper´s torch) is complemented with "keepscreen readable" app, allowing to keep on the device (the device goes to sleep only after the programmed time has ocurred, 3 min by default, registry setting) . Of
course, tapping again the torch icon, turns off the light before the programed time.
The registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TorchButton\FlashlightTimeout
If your device does not support flash light, simply assign other function to this element in: Start -- Hi-Launcher -- Design the menu , and pick the program that you want.
It does the same with other functions.
-The bluetooth icon turns BT in discoverable mode
-Included virtual d-Pad (avalable anytime from anywhere in the PPC)
-Screen OFF icon
-Many customizable functions/launch possibilities
...Also, this includes a simple but versatile task switcher in Alt+Tab style
TRIGGER METHODS INCLUDED
Of origin, Hi-Launcher can be triggered only by Hard Button key, also a trigger through Start button tap (only Start button in TOP bar, NOT compatible with WM6.5.x builds); and Scren gestures.
At this time, these trigger options are not practical, because lastets devices have few main hardware buttons (unlike the LG Fathom, that has a dedicated Taskmanager hardware button); and the gestures are ocupped by other apps and are not accurate.
.Therefore I decided to find the way to this launcher can be triggered by shortcut, with the aim of being able to use this "suite" and use it as possible, This thanks to vjay555´s vjkeyPress.
Because it, and TBL commands, xTask and a registry key; included in this "pack", this launcher can be triggered by the following methods (default)
-Hitting anywhere in the top bar (HTC Notification and the other functions not lost, because it´s included in the Launcher pad)
-LongPress Send key
-Dragging a line from an empty area of top bar, or dragging a line from start (bottom) windows logo. This NOT interfere with any gesture stored in your device (this is a simple function of xTask)
As mentioned, this all comes preconfogurated, but you always can make your own configurations, just I think this cfg is the starting point to enjoy the great xda utilities.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
-If you installed any task manager, pelase, uninstall it or deactive it (no problem with arkswitch, this cab overrides it in the ROM)
(install both in MAIN memory, NOT storage card)
-IMPORTANT: FIRST Install Hi-Launcher 1.1 (Not provided)
Hi—Launcher is shareware (9 day trial)
www.hilauncher.com
You can play for a while with this software to learn its basic funcionality; but all default settings will be overwritten in the next step. Anyway, is important to open the Hi-Launcher Menu in order to trial period of this app to be activated.
-Install the provided cab (xda Utilities). This file contains THE basic, but useful system utilities for your WM6.5.x PPC (Custom ROM recommended)
-Soft reset (important)
The new launcher brings when you hit the top taskbar of WM6.5.x; Send Key (hold), or drag a line from top bar, or from start (bottom) button ...and take advantage of ease of use and multitasking
Of course, the settings of Hi-Launcher can be personalized even more
EDIT, IMPORTANT: In Hi-Launcher confIguration menu, please don`t change "Menu Trigger" configuration, in order to keep triggering the launch pad with the mentioned trigger methods.
To restore the suggested functionality of Hi-Launcher (just in case), I included a File called "Hi-Launcher reapply settings.zip", not necessary if you don´t change the "menu trigger" setting
Remember, RNS Hi-Launcher is shareware, which implies that after using it for the trial period, you should buy or unisntall, which is reason I also wonder why other BEST alternatives exists, with the same or BETTER posibilities and feeling..
UPGRADING FROM TRIAL TO FULL
-Install or activate Hi-Launcher 1.x full version, then brings an option to keep setting, choose YES
Enjoy
(always you can Backup to file your Hi-Launcher Settings from its menu)
UNINSTALL AND REVERT TO ARKSWITCH/AMEBA
-Uninstall RNS Hi-Launcher
-Go to \TasbarLauncher\tblconfig.exe
-Select "Disabled" (also advisable on reinstallation of this pack)
-OK ( or "back key" )
-Uninstall "xda utilities for HL" (it takes up to a pair of minutes, because the tbl.exe process)
-Soft reset
After this, to revert Ameba and ArkSwitch to default setting, install "Revert Ameba Settings" cab (but I hope that you find xTask most useful with their proper settings)
The credits is 100% to all developers at xda for their hard work; I only cabbed it and preconfigured in a basic mode, I will add the full list of xda theads app used for this.
NOTE: THIS POST IS FOR WM6.5.X VGA/WVGA DEVICES AND "ALL IN ONE" VERSION; FOR WM 6.1/6.5 DEVICES, OR IF YOU DONT´WANT TO INSTALL xTASK, PLEASE SEE THE POST #9
Best Regards
This is for Hi-Launcher ?
Request
Yes, it´s a personalized menu for Hi-Launcher app, plus some utilities developed by xda members.
Of course; ideally, it would be that this was based on freeware, unfortunately I could not find any other app of this type
This is not only a topic to show a set of preconfigured basic applications, already developed ... but also a sincere request to the community:
REQUEST SECTION:
Functional features:
-Not designed to replace the start menu, because the launcher will be used for the very basic and frequentry used functions/apps
-Relatively small, floating window that does not cover the foreground app (any type of app); and neither change the state of foregroud app or window
-Fast, lightweight
-Integrated App switcher (configurable)
-Autoclose if not action selected (time programmable)
-The LaunchPad must remain visible for a few moments after the desired action is selected, and meanwhile the selected icon is resalted (useful in slow-start apps/functions like screen rotation while cht, to prevent double-tapping that consequently opens another element that is to be drawn)
-Also, the selection must be "swappable", and launch the desired action only at release of the desired icon.
-Very configurable, but no easily accidentally modified settings in daily usage.
Trigger methods
-By shortcut, or command parameters, e.g. "launcher.exe /showpad"
-Only optionally: assigning a rectangular touch-area for triggering (resizeable) in top bar; and don´t interfering with taskmanager and start icons in WM6.1 top bar-type; while in WM6.5.x can be assigned to all the area of top bar (Taskbar Launcher type)
Aesthetics features:
-3D effects are not so important, because the priority of fast and lightweigth feature; but desirable ONLY if it not compromisses the speed and/or compatibility
-Transparency effects, mainly for the pad´s background (semitransparent pad with texture would fantastic!)
-Icon Size: Not too big, to easly accomodate several apps/functions; although larger than Hi-Launcher´s icons
Yes, it´s a large list for a simple-type app, but I think this type of launcher would very useful and universal
By mean hi-Launcher, menu configuration is somewhat difficult to make 3 or more columns designs (therefore the preconfigurated files) ...but meanwhile this app has most of the features listed above.
I wil post a duplicate of this post in the appropriate area, and I promise duplicate this list only this time...
Best regards
Internet connection
Delete it, i made a mistake, sorry!
do you gone made one for 6.5?
i think is great peace of work

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I wil repack a 6.1/6.5 version, but it involves to forget of the trigger by tapping the top bar, that would lost (because this trigger method depend of TBL, that takes almost total control of top bar taps, affecting the start button and "ok" button in WM6.1/6.5)
I will search a method for get arround the problem
The posibble workaround for this pack in WM6.1/6.5, is find an app that assigns a rectangular touch-area (resizeable) in the top bar, for triggering ANY app (maybe using arkswitch only to trigger Hilauncher ?); or get some type of uTask app, but that works in top bar.
it will be nice
gracias.
Hi, thanks for this setup, I like it But my device is qvga and the icons are too small, is it possible to make the icons bigger?
And also, I only want the launcher with your trigger method (and things required to make them work), can you provide a cleaner cab without other ultilities? (I already have xtask and hilauncher). Thanks a lot
Splitted cabs for max compatibility
Here are the cabs to obtain maximum compatibility in the most WM6.5.x, WM6.5, WM6.1 devices. However, THE TRIGGER BY HITTING THE TOP BAR WAS ELIMINATED (for compatibility).
Hi-Launcher Still can be triggered by shortcut, also, by means Send Key (hold); and by means the xtask preconfigurated cab, drag a line from a empty area in top bar to activate a buttons where HL can be opened.
The first cab (this post) also places an additional shortcut in the root folder of main memory to trigger HL
The installation procedure is almost the same described in post #1, be sure install all this in MAIN memory:
-If you installed the complete version (post #1), uninstall it
-Install Hi-Launcher (if already not), open its menu in order to learn the basics and activate the trial period (in case)
http://www.hilauncher.com/
-Install "XDA_Util._for_Hi-Launcher_(Simple).cab", to copy the basic utilities and overwrite the default trigger method, being now triggered HL by shortcut
-Optionally, install xTask (two cabs provided: one for WM6.1/6.5, and other for WM6.5.x). This is not mandatory, but xTask is the task manager that best matches with this type of utility. If you install xTask, make sure to deactivate other task managers. In case of ArkSwitch, there is not problem if you use the WM6.5.x Xtask cab
If you decided intall xTask, but dont´t want to have the topbar/taskbar with icons of open apps, please delete the "xHook_delay.lnk" file from "\Windows\Startup"
-Soft Reset
Note: Once intalled the utilities, In Hi-Launcher confIguration menu, please don`t change "Menu Trigger" configuration, in order to keep triggering the launch pad with the trigger method by shortcut (really, the trigger shortcut is an emulation of pressing the "Esc" key, and Hi-Launcher is preconfigurated [in this setup] to react to this "hardware" Esc key).
At this point, the basic components are in your device, but the personalized menu isn´t ready
To get the basic suggested design in VGA and WVGA devices, copy the "Base Menu_VGA_WVGA.*" file to your device and open it. Note that so far, this menu design file seems to work properly only in VGA and WVGA devices. EDIT: The base menu works also in QVGA screens, thanks to bismuth89`s feedback.
..
it will be nice
thanks
Thanks for the base menu, it also works on QVGA the only problem is that icons are really small, but I can live with it since the launcher is very useful
(screenshot attached)

Thanks for the feedback, and yes, the icons are small; but the advantage of this launcher, unlike most launchers, its the "warm" selection of the desired app (if you move your selection, then the last released icon will be opened, and not before)
...and although apps are not mine, it's good that this thread will be useful to someone else
Can you attach the file of the menu that your designed? I believe that It can be useful for others, who do not want to fight with the difficulty of the design options that come when you try to use a several columns menu
Best regards
QVGA menu
Sure why not And only now I notice this "warm selection" feature you said, indeed it helps a lot to prevent launching the wrong app
If not for this thread I wouldn't even try Hi-launcher because the screenshot in their website look so unattractive
Here is the QVGA menu in the screenshot above:

MIUI for Beginners
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

any difference from the MIUI roms out there?
Yeah, Stock Deodexed Chinese ROM with the language Pack from xavierjohn or miuiandroid.com is much more stable.
Tried this because of last weeks ROM-delay from miuiandroid.com. This ROM sucks big time. Theme Manager was broken, ugly bootanimation. General laggy and unresponsive. If you want a miui-ROM for the nexus one i think the one from miuiandroid is the one to go for. This Thread with its many pictures seems to be more impressive than it really is.
On Miui.us the N1-Rom section is dead for instance..
Sorry guys, but for the N1 this ROM is not as good as the other one
Just my eperience and my opinion
miuiandroid.com rom download link is down. Anyone got a link to 1.6.3? I had it last week.
Turkish language support does not
Can you ?

Not trying to say that you are wrong, but there shouldn't be a difference between "lagginess" in the two roms. They are both downloaded from the same miui.com source, deodexed using the same kitchen thats available to all, decompiled/recompiled using same apktool thats available to all.
The only differences you will find are like you said, the boot animation, and minor spellings such as colour vs color, optimization vs optimisation, etc. basically british spelling vs american spelling
I cannot get the theme manager to work. It keeps FC on me is the fix coming soon? Any workarounds?
I found theclgrp link to the fix, flash this and it should end the FC prob

Yeah, Stock Deodexed Chinese ROM with the language Pack from xavierjohn or miuiandroid.com is much more stable.
Tried this because of last weeks ROM-delay from miuiandroid.com. This ROM sucks big time. Theme Manager was broken, ugly bootanimation. General laggy and unresponsive. If you want a miui-ROM for the nexus one i think the one from miuiandroid is the one to go for. This Thread with its many pictures seems to be more impressive than it really is.
On Miui.us the N1-Rom section is dead for instance..
Sorry guys, but for the N1 this ROM is not as good as the other one
Just my eperience and my opinion

I beg to differ. My experience has been the exact opposite. I had the miuiandroid rom running with quite a bit of FC's and I decided to give this ROM a spin. I have to say I am very happy with the performance and stability
Just flash the roll-back theme manager and run the a2sd commands and you should be good to go.
This ROM is built from CM7 nightlies and MIUI.US MIUI translation
I would like to thank the CM7 crew, Dalingrin et al for all their hard work in making the nook such a viable device. Without their determination, ingenuity and generosity this ROM would not be possible.
I would like to thank MIUI.US team for their help in getting this port off the ground and a wonderful translation and base from which to work from.
Most everything *should* work. Please let me know if you spot any port specific bugs.
Caveats:
- You must have an SDCARD to boot, I dont know why. (won't fix)
- You should flash with the latest CWM 3.2.0.1+

MIUI for Beginners
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.
Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.
Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the SD card.
How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a Wi-Fi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

It seem now that we have a thread here, the questions about installing, modifying, and using should be addressed in this thread.
First Thanks! MiUi on the Nook is awesome.
Second What are your future plans\goals for this rom?
I'm hoping for a landscape home screen and built in soft keys?
Again Thanks

Of course I would love to have all those great tablet tweaks CM7 has, but MIUI is closed source and even though they base off CM7 merging in the those changes at a smali level is probably going to be a nightmare. So I don't know if I'll get around to that. Same with Landscape in the launcher.
I love cm7 but alternatives are great too. downloading and titaniuming now!
some of the things that makes miui a pain on a phone font apply on the nook so I'm excited to get some eye candy!
Installing MIUI on SDcard
I also love CM7 and the developers. Just seeing what this is about. I liked to Credit Verygreen for his installer, Dal for his OC kernel, and everyone that help with the boot menu for this SDcard install. Without them none of the things that we do would be possible for the rest of us?
Used verygreen's 1.3 img to create an image. Appended prefix update-cm- with the rest being the MIUI downloaded zip. Unmounted and remounted SDcard. Copied file to the Boot partition. Start Nook with SDcard and VG Penguin recovery did the rest.
Took out SDcard and replace in pc. Loaded Dal's OC 06/30/11 sd version. When starting up with SDcard in nook, held down "n" to enter boot menu, selected sdcard, recovery, and booted in Penguin recovery with Dal's kernel being installed.
Could not get USB cable to mount on pc or mac. Went to the File Explorer and turned on ftp. From an ftp client on my mac (pc would be okay also) I created and Android Apks folder and drug the TitaniumBackup.apk to it. I next mounted 16 GB Sandisk SDcard containing my TitaniumBackup folder. I used the File explorer to install the TitaniumBackup.apk. I slide the home screen to find the app, click problems to install the latest busybox, and then install SetCPU to overclock to 1200 and change the governor to ondemand.
Next install Button Savior. From here it will be apps we want from TitaniumBackup folder.
Are you serious!!!!
I can't believe this!!! I'm all over this. I run this on my phone. I was hoping this would happen! killer man. Thanks!!!
Can we still use dalingrin's sexy ass kernel?

No, it does not have the CM buttons. You will need to install Button Savior or Softkeys for that functionality.
Ok thanks I'm going to try it out now

When I did the SDcard install all went well except this. Used ftp to work around it. Drives would not mount when I plugged the usb cable in. Any suggestions?
See my complete post for all the details.

Would it be safe to flash the zip that swaps emmc and the SD card for cm7 on this I mean this is based on cm7 right?
Sent from my LG-VM670 using XDA App
yes you can run it off a sd card and use the size agnostic image file and rename the file to a cm7 stock name and it will install it for you.
on my "bad" sd card, 16gb non sandisk, I didn't get any fc's but a lot of lagging, but no crashes or sod.
