guys i dont like the s/w that comes with the xda for contacts,calendar etc... tried pocket informant like it but it is a hog for space/memory (even after i install it on SD card)

tried it totday has a similar footprint uses up a lot of memory and the interface is not so easy... as pocket informant... actually i can live with the calendar and contacts provided wotht he OS tasks (and the today plugin) is what i need to get upgraded.. with the voice commander i am very comfortable witht he other 2 items...
the today plugin for TASKS really needs an ypgrade doesnt show info only the # of tasks pending/due
thanks though...
tAgenda
Check out tAgenda (freeware).
Also check out TaskPlus v1.33.
TaskPlus v1.33 can be found at:

HTH
thanks both of you.. liked both the programs but stuck with tagenda... is a better replacement for calender+ and does the tasks thing i wanted...
appreciate it
Yeap tAgenda is what I use just wanted to let you know that there were others. Glad to here you like!
HTH
I upgraded to a Wizard and unfortunately tAgenda, which i loved so much, does not work under WM5. I already mailed the author a month ago, but he seems to have vanished. What I am looking for is a similar app, but WM5 compatible. Just a plug-in that combines tasks, calendar and message count. tAgenda had a smal footprint in memory, that's why I loved it so much. Does anyone know of a similar app, that is suited for WM5?
Has anyone come across a HTC touchflo cab that works on Athena? Have been searching unsuccessfully for such a cab that works on wm6 and above. Anyone?
You Mean the rotating cube??
No I think he means the tochflo driver that is also in AP4 and AP5. Yes I would like it also.
I'm not interested in any today plugin, I think it is too limiting (for example there very limited program that you can launch) and would much much prefer using iLauncher Thumb together with SBSH pocket weather, spb time, and spb phone suite. I personally find the cube to be a troublesome gimmick that takes way too many swipes just to do something simple. Manila, or whatever it is, just slows the system down too much also, or at least this is my impression from the posting made by others.
What I want is only the equivalent of Ftouchflo, but with sound, and hopefully, does not mess up the Opera browser. I don't need all the swiping up, swimping down, swimping at the corner stuff. Just to scroll with thumb would do.
mmm
But for Athena esixt HTC CUBE ??
I don't Founf it
I have bought it 3 days ago, Flash it with AP DUAL 3.0
but with Tytn I was more fast to open music Photo and Video..
with htc cube
I have problem with htc Album, when I open It, after the 4th photo, automatly close i can' do nothing
With standar Photo & video I have no problem...
Hi guys, I have been going thru tis forum for quite sumtime now and i must tell u that it is the most comprehensive forum dedicated to xda range of fonez.
I'l be picking up a HTC P3400i tomorrow. I remember seeing a thread on installing a software similar to the htc touch flow onto a P3400i.
But sumhow, i cant find it no more. I would be amazing greatful to whoever can get me the link to that thread.
I kno im in for alot of flak for posting tis thread, but i really did search the whole forum but codnt find anytin.
Again, im sorry for wasting a thread.
Apologize!
Hi did you get it ? even i am looking for the same . Can you please mail me the link if you get it . My id is [email protected]
Thanks
There are 3 ways to get TouchFlo on P3400i:
1. Upgrading to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with TouchFlo Embedded : TouchFlo performs best when it is embedded in a ROM. Study about rom flashing a bit and the pros and cons associated with a particular ROM and then upgrade to a windows mobile 6.1 ROM with touchflo embedded. That will give improved performance along with the goodies.
Be warned that its a dangerous process so take utmost care. Plus before flashing a ROM make sure its for your phone or not, plus if there are any limitations with it, if any. For P3400i, only one ROM is available as of now and that is Lomlom's fusion 9.0 ROM for new gene. The thread for that is in this part of the forum itself.
2. Installing the original TouchFlo (Manilla 2D): Original Touchflo that comes with HTC Viva, Touch Diamond etc is known by the name Manilla 2D, so search for this name. You can find it on this forum, but beware, in case of a P3400i, it makes the phone very, very , very slow and you will have only 9 MB of phone memory remaining after installing it. Plus, you cannot uninstall it fully without doing a Hard Reset. Simply saying, its not usable.
3. ThrottleLauncher : is a great app that works and looks almost same like the original Manilla 2D but its not that fast too. the good thing with it is that it wont make your phone very slow, although it will be slower than default. This is the safest way to try TouchFlo technology ion your phone. Otherwise, upgrading the ROM is the best possible way, albeit a dangerous one.
Thanks for the quick response I appreciate it very much
I am new to PDA phones and p3400i is my first one and so I don't have much idea about the technical aspects like ROM. So, I would like to try out the safer throttleLauncher i have gone through their website and i have few basic doubts can you please clarify
1) what is soft reset ?
2) To do soft reset do i have to install a new software ? where can i get it and how to install it?
Pardon my ignorance
Thanks a lot

1.Soft reset mean press a very little button that beside the USB port of your gene...it's a reset buton like your PC.
2.up 2 you... you can soft reset by many way install program that make your gene has a soft reset button on the gene screen.
Yes, as PlaiNutto stated, soft reset means to restart your device using the reset button provided at the bottom of the phone, beside the miniusb port that we use to connect data cable and headfone. Its a small hole near it and the button is inside so that it is not pressed accidently. You can press it by using your stylus.
Soft Reset is same is restarting your phone after shutting it down by power key, but it doesnt gives the applications running inside your phone a chance to respond or shut down. Power key provides a little time for apps to shutdown. So Soft Reset button is used when because of a faulty app, the whole OS is stuck and power button is not working.
Soft Reset does not removes any data at all from your device.
In addtion to that, there are many apps available that provide you to soft reset your phone just by running them. But they are only useful if your phone is not hung.
I hope this will clear out all your doubts.
One thing about throttle launcher, install the app only in phone memory, even if it prompts you to select a location at the time of setup. And after installation, goto Start Menu> Settingd> Today and here on the items tab, select only ThrottleLauncher as today item and unselect all other.
Rest you can customize using the configuration utility provided. Please read the documentation about this application from its website to get full benefit from it.
In case of any furthur queries, you are most welcome.
Thanks a lot for the explanation.
I understand it perfectly now
I have another doubt
The second step in the installation procedure is
" Unselect the today plugin if you have it activated "
(http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/34-public-releases/84-094k)
How do i do it ?
In Menu > Setting > Today there is no option to unselect any plugin. There are options only to select a theme and picture and there is a tab for selecting items. So how do i unselect the plugin ?
And also before installing any applications the programme memory is 55 % full so if i install throttle launcher will it slow down my mob drastically ? Is there a way to free the programme memory?
Thanks a lot.
The Items tab that you are talking about is the one used to unselect today plugins. Actually, Today is the screen that you see after exiting all the apps on your phone, the Desktop. On this today screen, there can be various items running like the HTC home plugin, Tasks plugin etc. These items are called Today plugins and can be selected or deselected from that tab. Since throttle launcher uses the entire today screen for itself so there is no space for other plugins. Thats why it is adviced to unselect all the items on the Items tab except for Throttle Launcher.
Filling up of phone memory does not slows down your phone abnormally, but ya, this memory is needed for contacts, sms, mms, email etc so exhausting it completly will cause problems. Also note that since throttle launcher is a processor intensive app, it will make your phone a bit slower.
I would recommend that you stay away from throttle launcher or Manilla like apps. They are not worth so much of the effort. And since you are very new to Windows Mobile, you wont be able to configure throttle launcher easily to get full benefit of it. The best option for you is Manilla 2D cooked into the ROM of your mobile, but since you are a newbie, i wont recommend that too. I think you should enjoy your mobile with its original capabilities and later when you become more confident with the internals of the WIndows Mobile OS, you can flash your phone with a good ROM. I too used a Manilla 2D cooked ROm on my gene for sometime, but none of these custom ROM provide as good functionality as the original one, there are errors here and there on all of them.
Rest is upto you, you decide yourself. Enjoy Windows Mobile buddy and keep exploring it, there's an ocean of possibilities inside this OS
krazy...THANKS FOR THE INFO..
Hi Friends,
First of all, let me tell you that this is NOT MY ROM. I've found it on the 4PDA forum so i am sharing it with you guys.
IMPORTANT INFO : THIS ROM IS FOR NEW P3400 and P3400i with S/N HT8xxx. I DONT KNOW IT WORKS ON OLDER P3400 OR NOT. NOR I HAVE EXTENSIVELY TESTED IT ON MANY DEVICES. I AM RUNNING IT ON A P3400i with ONBL 1.17.000 and SPL 1.07.Oref.
The Good:
1. This is a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with all default features of Windows Mobile 6.1 including the new welcome center etc along with a few HTC customizations.
2. You have about 43 MB of free User Memory after installing this ROM and about 19-20 MB of free RAM.
3. Device runs very fast when compared to the Stock WM 6 ROM.
4. Quiet fast boot up time.
5. The ROM doesn't have any customizations from the creator, ie. It has default boot screen, default About screen etc.
6. No EDGE related problems and No Control Panel icons missing. (This is a problem with lomlom's fusion 9.0 ROM)
The Bad :
1. I doesn't include HTC HOME, although this may not be quoted as a problem. HTC Home hogs quiet a lot of memory than the individual Messaging, Date, Calander and Task plugins.
2. Task manager incuded in the ROM is quiet old one.
3. As with most WM 6.1 ROMs, Windows Live is not working.
Download it from HERE if you have a 4PDA.com account (This is the original location of ROM where i found it: http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/132256/ruu_signed.rar
Else download it from here (I uploaded it on 4Shared for people who dont have a 4PDA account) : http://www.4shared.com/file/76614292/60fceda7/WM61_Stock.html
Sorry for not posting any screenshots but believe me, there is nothing special to post as screenshot. Its a very plain, WM 6.1 ROM.
In my opinion, if this ROM had got Windows Live Working, i can definetly quote it as the most wonderful and simplest Windows Mobile 6 ROM for P3400 and P3400i. But sadly enough, Windows live isn't working even after appying fixes and updates. So i guess i'll have to live with the browser version of hotmail.
For users who need MSN messenger functionality can try out Fring, search for it on google. Its a free, multi protocol messenger supporting Yahoo!, GTalk, MSN, AOL and others.
Also for task management features, I would recommend using HomeScreenPlusPlus plugin. Download it for free from this forum.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: I would also recommend reading Post #6 for knowing about my experiance about the ROM after customising it fully.
Thanks a lot for posting the same, here.
Just a couple of doubts, may be silly.
You have stated the following:
2. You have about 43 MB of free User Memory after installing this ROM and about 19-20 MB of free ROM
I guess, it is 19-20 MB free RAM, right?
Secondly, does this ROM contain Touch FLO, pre-installed?...
And finally, how is the file/directory browsing compared to lomlom's ROM?

Yeh, the word is RAM. I've corrected that in my post.
File browsing os working perfectly. i have installed quiet many apps and still the windows folder is opening within 3-5 seconds.
No it does not have TouchFlo installed, it even doesn't have HTC home. Thats why there is so much free space. Its a very plain WM 6.1 ROM with all the features of WM 6.1 but very few customizations.
In fact, to tell you the truth, i dont miss Touch FLO coz it was a memory hogger. And now since it doesn't have HTC home built-in, i have installed HTCHome_1025_721_ALL.cab which is the 6 tab version of the HTC home. The 6th tab contains the music controller which can be used to play music using audio manager right from the HTC home screen.
The only problem this ROM has got is Windows Live! Thats it! I have searched a lot for a fix but haven't found any working one yet.
@ANKIT360 : Buddy as far as i have found out, the problem with Windows Live is connected to two things :
1. The original Windows Live that came in this ROM has some registry keys missing. For example, under HKLM\Services\Windows Live\Platform, the Transport key is missing.
2. There must be some problem with certificates etc that are causing Windows Live to not being able to communicate using SSL(Secure Socket Layer). WIndows Live uses SSL for communication purposes.
Maybe this information help somebody in finding a fix.
Thanks For sharing Man I am Going to try it tonight
Thanks a lot & keep Going
@swapnil_0081: My Pleasure man.
My Experiance with the ROM till now
UPDATE: Did about 25 different experiments with around 11 cabs, changing connections settings and installing different certificates. No avail, Windows Live and Messenger stuck at startup. Now i am not doing any more tries, even deleted the shortcuts to Live and Messenger from Start Menu.
Software i installed:
1. 6 Tab HTC Home plugin and HomeScreen Plus Plus for Today Plugins. HomeScreen Plus Plus also doubles as an always available task switcher and task manager. I needed this functionality very much as the HTC Taskmanager 2.0 is not included and task management is not possible from home screen without the HomeScreenPlusPlus plugin.
2. Mundu IM for muti protocol messaging, its paid but its great. It can connect to all the chat services and can do things that Fring cannot do, for example, adding new messenger friends.
3. WM5Storage for Mass Storage Mode
4. Resco File Explorer and GFinder+ for managing files.
5. TCPMP, YouTube, Nitrogen (Great Audio Player!), Flash Player 7, Flash Lite 2.1 and Real Player for Multimedia.
6. Opera 8.60 and Opera Mini 4.2 (Mini has great browsing speed with full website browsing, normal Opera is great for other stuff)
7. Yahoo Go! and Google Maps for maps and positioning.
7. iContact BERT Edition for finger scrolling Contacts, PCMImageViewer for Touch friendly Image Viewer and PCM Keyboard .14 for touch friendly keyboard.
8. Advance Config, FDCSoft TaskMgr 3.1, ClearTemp, PIMBackup, psShutXP, SoftKey (for changing functions of both softkeys on Today screen) and SKTools for system tweaking.
9. FDCSoft StartMenu for desktop Windows like cascading menu. Requires very less resources and normal start menu remains accessible as well. PointUI Home as an alternate shell.
10. Misc Software including FlashSMS (for sending SMS which show up directly on screen instead of going into inbox), CHMReader (for reading e-books in CHM format), Picsel Browser (A great E-book and document Reader), PocketRAR 3.8, SQL Server CE 3.5 with Query Analyzer (Databases can be created directly on device), VSPainter Lite (MS Painbrush like APP), Wordnet CE (Pocket Dictionary with a huge word database of 66 MB), Gerald Caller Location (It shows the network name and area name of person that is calling or being called, for India only) and OBEXinfo (changes the location to recieve files via bluetooth to SD Card.

With such a comprehensive list of software installed, i have about 28 MB User space free, and 16-18 MB of RAM free after 10 minutes of system startup with HTC Home, Homescreen plus plus, Tasks and Appointment plugins running. And with default caching, FileSystem performance is good, Windows folder opening within 5-7 seconds of taping
Isn't is amazing guys! This ROM is quiet good, much better than others.
So far only 3 problem i have identified :
1. Windows Live (The hotmail part, messenger part is solved with Mundu IM) not working.
2. In the Encryption option in System Tab of Settings, the checkbox remains always checked although files are not being encypted (In other words, using encryption is not possible, but people dont use it anyways, mostly).
3. An Old version of task manager with no Today screen task management support is given. This could be solved by using th task manager or HomeScreen plus plus which is better due to the fact that it can be accessed anytime to switch between applications

In short, i will recommend this ROM to everyone who wants to use WM 6.1 with faster device response. A little bit of tweaking, some software and a 2-4 GB of good quality memory card will make your gene as closely feature rich as other costly phones.
PHEW! Long Post! Sorry guys if you get bored from this post. But i wanted to share my experiance in detail with everyone.

First of all, thanks a lot for taking time for hosting as well as testing and giving such a long feedback. Really appreciate... You have been simply superb in this forum.
But, I am still a bit reluctant to flash this ROM over Fusion, just because of that RAM avaialbility. In Fusion, I have around 23 to 24 MB RAM free, even after running TouchFlo, Wisbar advance etc., as well as after installing a huge amount of softwares (some of them in storage itself), I still have around 16 MB free in ROM. So, I am just perplexed, as why should I flash this one.
The only advantage, I can make out in this rom, is fast "windows" directory browsing as well as booting. But, I feel these are the items which we don't do each now and then. Even, I am pretty satisfied about the responsiveness of Fusion rom, such as switching applications etc. Moreover, responsiveness of TouchFlo has been simply great, and never felt it as a memory hogger, as its RAM consumption has been consistent and may be because of the 28 MB free RAM, provided by Fusion on start-up.
I have also attached a screenshort here, in which you can see that around 20.21 MB RAM is free, even when the ROM is running Touch Flo, Wisbar Advance, Hi-Calc, Resco Explorer, Excel (with a document loaded) and SPB screenshort applications. There may be even other applications such as SPB Keyboard in the background. Isn't it cool? Moreover, swiching applications have been instantaneous too. When I click on the icon of a running application on the Wisbar, the app is displayed immediately, within a second.
Again, I am not at all trying to downplay the efforts put by you to upload this ROM on a mirror and give us not only the access but also the feedbacks and support. Just wanted to put the points here. May be, you will come up with valid arguments and make me flash this one. Just because you must be knowing much more about these stuffs than me, who is almost a newb.
Best Regards...
Hi Dheeraj!
Buddy, if the lomlom's ROM is working for that much great for you, you have no reason to flash this. In my case, it was not. I got only 16-19 MB free without running any app whatsoever, in the case of lomlom's. Plus there were icons missing in Settings tab, and small inconsistensies here and there. Moreover since i tinker around with my phone a lot currently, accessing the \Windows folder is a routine task for me, and with lomlom's ROM i was having a lot of problem with that. Talking about Manilla 2D, ya it looks fancy but after a week of use, i found that its not that usable with me, personally. For me the charm of it was over.
And apart from all this, I always wanted a ROM that works like stock WM 6 ROM of HTC, in short, gives the "Original" look to my phone but still provides me with all the features of WM 6.1. I dont know why but i dont like it when the original OS is crippled in anyway. In this ROM, nothing is missing from the original WM 6.1 installation as described on the feature comparison page for Windows Mobile on Microsoft website.
So in short, its a matter of personal tastes. Our needs are a bit different and so are our ROMS I guess if you dont feel any problem with lomlom's then stick with it. Its a great ROM too and i and other members have solved almost all problems that happen with it after first time boot, so someone should use the result of those efforts too
When i came to this forum, i found that GENE users and specially those with NEW GENE were just crying around with SPL problems and nothing was there as a choice for them in terms of ROM availability. Thats why i decided to do whatever efforts i can to make things better for this part of the forum, ie. The GENE section. Now, i am not a social worker, but i feel for people whom problems i can sense becuase i also have them
Thanks for your complements
HTC Applications in this rom like home plugin,comm manager ,task manager , audio manager,album are very old versions
Can any one help me to update that one
or cook this rom with newer versions ????????
Home plugin? its not even there buddy! ya the ROM is a bit old, but works nicely.
Help !!!!!
hi guys ...i have a new gene (s/n ht8xxx) can any one tell me the steps to update my old wm5 to the new one step by step ...... please .....
Buddy, the way is completly described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2953612&postcount=2
Not to offend you or anything, please try to search before posting. Many of the custom ROM flashing problems with P3400 and P3400i have been already solved. Just a suggestion, Ok buddy.
And ya, although that tutorial references the lomlom's fusion ROM, you can use the ROM described in this thread too if you want to. The procedure is same, only use this ROM in place of fusion one.
thaaanx
thanx alot man ...u help me alot ....
