I looked and looked but couldn't find a thread on this (perhaps not hard enough), but I've just recently become aware to the fact of HTC may have made a version of the HD2 with a sliding keyboard. Did they go through with this or was it just an idea that evaporated and we haven't really heard much since?
I can't post a link, just search "Leo-S" in Google to see what I'm talking about.
Many thanks for the following answers!
what are you smoking over there?
The Leo-s was an unsubstantiated rumour based on some registry keys that were found that would allow for it but with HTC now developing WP7 i wouldn't read anything into it
@Lude - Apparently something that messes with my grammer , just noticed it wasn't that great.
@M3PH - Thanks for that update. I couldn't find anything that said this was just a rumor. It's a nice idea though.

I swear I saw someone post a thread about their cooked WM6 ROM somewhere that would allow you to run the Touch's TouchFlo interface on a Hermes. Did I imagine this or has someone seen either a ROM with TouchFlo or the TouchFlo application itself somewhere?

OWW REALLY DOES NOBODY USE SEARCH ANYMORE?! There are so many threads about Touchflo & the files etc..come on people..dont be so lazy and just search..
stupid this..
The called it "ButtonFlo" cause it ran but the Touch part of it didn't work. It also ran very poorly.
What sucks is that it runs beautifully (Touch and all) on my buddies 8125 Wizzard! We got the better device too!
why is it working on wizard and not hermes? That is got to be fixed sometime?

If you just LEARN HOW TO USE THE ****ING SEARCH BUTTON you know why.

wow... this bram guy is helpful.
bram guy hahaha
yeh he is isnt he
there are numerous individuals working to enable touchflo as a "touch" function. Now that the flurry of activity is dying down from the new ATT rom release, I'm sure it'll return to being a priority. Keep an eye on the main threads- as I'm sure eveyrone will know once a solution is found.
Also:
Come on guys - we've all been there once. Give 'em a chance, polietly redirect, then after a few chances - PM them a flaming message. There isn't any reason to be arrogant about it - especially out here. The guillotine shouldn't be the first reaction to someone's question.

Can someone please direct me to the TouchFlo and Cube downloads? I have searched and I have found the iCube but I want the same program that is on the Touch not the one that is mixed with iPhone.......I tried to download one before and couldn't get it to work right. Could someone please send me the downloads and give me some steps to follow and where to place the programs and stuff on my device? Thanks

I hope no one helps you..ever again..
the above question is valid.. I have been searching all over for them as well, they seem to have disappeared , I find all of the 3rd party and dev stuff, but none of the HTC downloads anymore.
so.. like the above poster, I would love to be able to find these downloads again.

I bet you found Ftouchflo.. and not touchflo... its easy to find...., a search for touchflo or touchflo.cab gets no usable ( IE, downloable ) software other than Ftouchflo on here or internet in general
and what makes u think they ever ripped the htc touchflo software? I've got every single htc software and there is no htc touchflo or htc cube. maybe you guys should first find out what you guys are looking for and then go in a search to find it.
Sorry, all I found was the Slither cube that the guy on ppcgeeks pointed you to.
I really hope 98classic never needs help from anyone... he's very likely not going to get any.
(LOL @ myself for unintentional and likely accurate double-meaning...)
In the time it takes to tell someone that they should search first, we could just help them in their search if we know where it is.
As a Data Specialist for a large research company, I find that many people do indeed search, but they are not good at searching. They often use the wrong words in their search queries and limit themselves by putting too much information in.
Why get negative with people?
Just ignore the question and move on if it bothers you.
Seriously, it's not a big deal that they asked for some help - we didn't all do this completely on our own, so take pride in being able to help someone that isn't as good at searching as yourself.
We have enough negativity in the world, let's leave it out of the forums that are designed to help everyone - beginner to advanced.
Beggers cant be choosers
Ftouch with config cab...Works perfect... Dont use cube (useless imho) so cant help there....Searching you have found these within minutes. Not sure why you need to have Genuine HTC...Your better off with "dev" software anyway...They offer better support....USE IT AND BE HAPPY..Or step up your game a "dev" a usalbe version of HTC TOUCHFLO and share it with the Community
So this may not really apply, but has anyone used SmartToolKit on a 6800? Particularly the WM7-ish skin they have?
http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/04/04...ur-smartphone/
I thought it might tide me over until I take the time to flash something, but searches don't seem to bring up much info on it.....

Your link is screwed. Where ever you copied it from you got the short version with the "..." in it. You need to post the full URL.
Wow, I'm an idiot......
http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/04/04/how-to-install-the-windows-mobile-7-skin-on-your-smartphone/
Sorry guys...
Looks interesting. The device they showed it on was a non-touchscreen one though. Why not try it out and let us know how it goes?
smartoolkit was only for non-touchscreen devices. I used it on my HTC S640 but it wouldn't load for my mogul/titan. So I went to Quick menu, which is simple and great
Sharp has made a pretty nice Keitai-style Android phone: sh7218u , but has crippled the OS only to run chinese apps. (They call it DimSim)
What would be the best way on approaching a potential "uncrippling" of this software.. and installing a full blown Andorid on it ?
All suggestions welcome, (I don't wanna hear any "buy a HTC instead" replys) 'cause they don't make clamshell androids)
Thanks ,
The Keitai'ist
bump for you! Would like to know this as well.
Rooting software available.
Found a WHOLE bunch of software for the Sharp 72xx on a Chinese BBS, PM me for files... & guides
Anybody has more info on functioning of the SH7218U outside China, namely in EU? Been thinking about this phone as my second (private phone), I'll be able to order one from China in August... Is it worth the hassle and the risk?
Thanx
Alright everyone, I'm in love with this phone, anyone feel the same? Well, you're about too.
Here's a link to install and enable Gapps, use a translator if ya want.
http://modiako.blogspot.com/2011/05/sharp-sh7218u-android.html
Also, anyone familiar with the SH-01B? And it's really nice-looking big clock for the external display? I have the files for making yours look like that as well. Just PM me if ya want. Or just get it from this link.
http://www.msharp.cn/forum/t356876/page1/
Oh yeh, z4root roots this device fine btw.
Now, I don't really know how to read Chinese well so Ive gotten all this info from lurking Chinese forums searching for keywords or just finding these because of others. So, if anyone can help me out with translating this link I'm about to give, ALOT of helpful things will result since it's basically a thread on SH7218U optimization.
http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=525&t=2175932&last=30798785
Also, if you check out this vid, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmTf300BhpI ,this guys SH7218U is modded so the notification and virtual android buttons have a different look to them. I asked the guy and this is what he said, "It is similar to how to modify the status bar is other android phone (which you can search from google or XDA forum), but the tricky part is instead of modify the frame-res.apk. you do the modification on dianxinos-res.apk". Now that seems simple enough but I can't find any guide on HOW to do this, and him not replying any further didn't help me out.. SO yeh, if anyone can read/write Chinese lets look up on how to mess with the SH7218Us framework.apk and dianxinos-res.apk, as for now Ide rather not mess with those important files without a clear English guide.
So let's try and get something going here possibly maybe perhaps?

But he's right. Topics like this one have been discussed over and over again here at xda. If he had used the search function himself he would have discovered some "cool applications" by now. That's how we all acquire the software for our devices: By searching this forum and many other well known sources like the openmarket app store (once again easy to find using google).

good idea, bu might not work for those who haven't yet heard of this modern invention
Wow - old thread is old.
Hi! I'm a noob. Well, technically, I'm not; I just haven't been back here in many years since I first started poking at registries and editing the old wikis (now defunct, horribly broken, etc.), and finally needing to get work done and thus not wanting to play with my WM device very much and switched to Android not too long ago. But given this huge gap, I might as well be designated a noob now so I watched the introduction video (how awesome is that thing?). And one of the things it says is to use google, search, etc. Well, I've done all that (almost, still browsing this forum section and going through a different forum's software announcements, but I've seen more of Handango, pocketpcfreeware, freewarepocketpc and those lot than I'm willing to see again (thankfully, most of them have RSS feeds)), and narrowed down the list of several thousands of apps to... well, still quite a bit more than 100.
So another thing the video suggests is to find similar threads and read those. Here's the thing, though... those also tend to be old. I could find a thread that speaks highly of cLaunch even though people have moved on from that to SPB and then Androkkid or, etc. The best part is - it's almost impossible to untangle! It doesn't help that a lot of software announcements don't even mention what they're compatible with
( Nor that announcements also happen in the 'Windows Mobile Software Development' section. )
I still have to try the XDA Market (is it or is it not dead? The thread is stale. Did I mention the untangling issues already? oh yes, one paragraph back.), but it would definitely be nice if there were a place where those of you who still play with WM devices could discuss apps and come to some sort of consensus as to what 'the best apps' are. I do specifically mention that in plural because I know from my earlier days, and from reading a few threads last week, that people still ask "what is the best X app?" only to be met with "depends on your preferences" which is certainly true but there's always some apps that are going to be significantly better than others.
So here's my dilemma... do I hijack one of the existing threads (as I'm sort of doing now, but please don't see this post as my asking about apps - I'll do a proper post where I detail the apps I've got listed already, my preferences, etc.) or do I start a new thread?
And, of course, in the mean time... if there already is such a consensus-on-app-worthiness list that isn't 2 years old, where might I find it?
Again, not asking for input on apps - just some pointers on where to look, specifically, after having already 'google[d] it'. Then perhaps the next poor sod that comes along and has the same question has a better idea of where to go after his/her brain is filled with app references.
*resumes reading this forum section, then the 'Windows Mobile Software Development' section, and then that other forum*

Given the number of xda members, threads and posts, searching for any info here can be indeed painful, frustrating and often fruitless. I generally prefer google over xda search, but with search results limited to xda forums, so - assuming we search for e.g. "cool WM apps", the search string will look like this:
Code:
cool WM apps site:forum.xda-developers.com
I know it's not a big help, still, the OP question was sooooo general, I mean, for some the cool app will be SpaceTime for WM, while for others it might be Crayon Physics....
Went back here to update my post - hadn't expected a reply, thanks! ( yes, I did press the button, noob-introduction-video! )
Yeah, I did that - but that's a pretty hit-or-miss method at best.. there's a bunch of posts that say something looks like a cool app and that they'll download it and "have a think about it" (broken English ftw) - then they come back saying it doesn't work on their device (WM2003 for a WM6 app)
That's why I'm just going over all of the forum pages (got time to burn - that's why I'm poking at the old WM device to begin with.. it had been collecting dust)
Anyway, the update I was going to make was just to mention that 'XDA Market' does look pretty dead-ish (nothing recent in there, what's in there is a fraction of what's available, and it sure likes to crash a lot). It also looks almost exactly like what I'd need.. I'll have to remember that when I hit its thread here and encourage the devs to pick it up again.

not surprising, given that most of the hardcore HD2 users jumped ship to android, sooner or later WM will be as popular as Palm OS is now, anyway, if your're looking for an app to perform specific tasks, just ask, there is a chance someone might know something
Yeah - just a shame, really.. there's lots of WM devices floating around still that can still find use.
I know, possibly the best use of them is disassembly, re-use where possible (too bad the screens are always undocumented or there would be plenty of Arduino guys with interest in at least that component) and recycle the rest.
But I'm giving the poor thing one last while to shine before doing that (probably the next time I get a new phone, I'll give the store this one).
A functional 'XDA Market' would definitely have helped with that.
I wouldn't blame them if they did abandon it, though.. even Microsoft abandoned their own Windows Mobile market even while WP7 isn't available globally yet, and Windows 8-on-mobile is is sure to kill the WP7 store, too. They're good like that.
I'll open a new thread (I guess is the best option) when I'm ready for it - right now there's still plenty of hidden gems tucked away in these forums that I'll go to, first
