Hi! What's your opinion about the latest version of PointUI? And Comparing to TF3D? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ebautista:
my opinion?

Personally, Home PointUI 2 is a crap. I used version 1 before as always and it is smoother, beautiful but more lightweight than tf3d considering that it(PointUI) is using a hardware acceleration library. I mean for me, if they tried to retain the old look and just added more stunning plugins or additions, it can win over TF3d. That's is why many likes to have TF3d ported to their devices. Because of the features.

this is a dummi kestion, but its possibel put universal running in qvga mode?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ljinsane:
wow

well i was going to try this but after reading the issues there....hell no!

*edit*

the new version works really well have not experienced any issues....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aksd:
New version still crashes the phone if you try to close Programs, maybe youguys should make programs hidden, other than that its working beautifully.

Issues observed with 1.01b

1) When I click on 'bottom arrow', the (Applications) came up, but the top screen shows my (Rogers Wireless) overlapping on top of the current time. Is there any way to fix that? Or change the font of phone provider to use a smaller font?

2) I cannot press hardware button to activate the buttons applications (eg. I have 6 buttons, calendar, contacts, Start, Inbox, IE, OK, Record, Media) but none of them are launching the applications. However, if the .HOME is closed, the buttons work fine. Is PointUI intended to disable all Hardware buttons?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sgreenwood99:
Working like a charm on Kaiser. Uniinstalls as well by following your instructs. Thanks for the app and look forward to future refinements.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] demo23019:
Great piece of software

But does this version acually let you close apps or do they run in the background?

ANd can u disable auto updates? Version 1 constantly wanted to connect to the internet..kind of annoying.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joewong123321:
Cheers to you guys' effort, I really appreciate it!

I am a Hong Kong People who are using Chinese Traditional language, so I am wondering if other language support will be released, because the english version can't merge with the system and the programme folder is empty...

Thanks!

I am using Kaiser, (TyTN II).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_ding:
Version 1.01b allows weather to be set as (manual), I haven't seen the constant connect to internet anymore (I used to it it on 1.0 myself too)

To close apps, click (upper left corner) instead, then do (force close).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] demo23019:
I did the manual weather update rite after the install. But after that my ATT kept trying to connect id stop it from connecting but it was persistent and would keep trying. I know how to stop it in windows all togeather but id rather it not do this. I was going to just remove auto updates all togeather but that will probably interfere with weather updates.

Good to see u dont have this problem. Maybe it was just a fluke install..ill try it again tomorrow

I know about force closing my apps, But Id rather just close them like i do normally, i have spb pocket plus and using the close button function and it dosnt work with this app. Thanks for the help :)

I use V1.0.1b > PIE not Work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
For all of you having issues, please make sure you are using the new version. It does not remove the old and your old shortcuts still open version 1.0

I had this issue

Verify it by going to config (gear box in upper right, then about and if it says 1.0 you are not using the new version.

Major flaw

It all looks really nice but there's a fundamental flaw (apologies if im wrong).

Finger scrolling is backward - to scroll down a list it is natural to move your finger up and not down. Thats how everything else works e.g. touchflo. In pointui its the opposite.

Has anyone else noticed this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fuzzvirus:
I second that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] helterskelter:
Will tapping the clock on the homescreen take to alarms in this version?

And is there now an alarm notification to tell you, you have set alarms?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] acc0101:
Not yet,

I'm waiting for a version with easier customization.:D

For me, The former version is better. At least the WiFi and BT setting is still working.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gotvitamink:
yea this is true. however, I like this more because i can just hold my thumb at the center of the screen, wait for the scroll arrows to pop up, and then move my thumb down and keep it down until i want the screen to stop scrolling.

But it is different from touchflo, so when i start up a different app, the scrolling completely changes. I think Point UI should have an option.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jompao:
Looks really nice, some navigation feels backwards like scrolling the list with apps etc.

How do you change the AM/PM to 24 hour clock?

Weather doesn't find my town Orebro (Sweden) which is among 6-7 largest cities. It is available on the HTC Home weather tab.

Great work so far! It really shows what could be done and puts Microsoft to shame.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mike1002:
In the settings (the cog) select the opposite to what you have set for:

Object navigation/Slide navigation.

Mines set to object navigation, and it scrolls in the way that my finger moves.

COnfused me to start with also.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EazyVG:
Also think that TouchFlo way of scrolling is better.

Also, it will be nice to have a comprehensive settings manager built-in, rather than tweaking in registry manually. Also, extra three-to-five colour themes should be included, black theme being one of the options.

I have noticed that HButtons, shortcuts assigned to hardware buttons, do not work when Home is running. It will be nice if this Home application will integrate nicely with all the HTC apps. Also, unable to close all running apps at once +

closing the apps it instead minimizes it ... this should be resolved or added (in settings manager perhaps), plus closing phone takes you back to old HTC home screen.

Ah, I think that program should be lighter on memory usage, seems as if it gobles up quite a lot.

Once the program matures, a lot, I am ready to pay for it or donate.

Thank you.

Waiting for VGA support and also a contacts app built in ...

Beautiful work !!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jompao:
That I think only changes the homescreen middle applet or what it was called. Scrolling in applications, esttings etc. scrolls in the opposite way anyhow.

Anyone know how to set OtO as the default Calendar? I don't understand how to customize using their registry key.

I tried this:

1. create a new VALUE

2. name it App.Path.Calendar

3. In the value box, I put "\Program Files\OtO\OtO.exe"

but it's not working at all, Anyone help?

Hi all ...

( Sorry for my english, i'm french ... )

Happy new year !

Just a point ... Many of users are not happy with this software, but many people are fun with it !

I think it's not the place to say yes or not about this, but the place to improve it !

For me it's the best 'paliatif' of wm, The thing that should be since the start of wm !!!

J'ai perdu le fil en englais je vais le faire en français ça changera ...

Plutot que de critiquer à qui mieux mieux ce logiciel ne vous eforcez vous pas de le rendre plus convivial avec des avis constructifs plutot que destructifs ...

Ces gens là ont fait un travail formidable, de quoi ecraser amblement le touchflo et le s2u2 et toute la clique adobe ( pour le cube flash ... )

Je suis intimement persuadé que si ces personnes là se mettent de concert pour nous concocter une interface ou "ui" ça va faire du grabuge !!!

C'est en les soutenant et en amorçant des critiques positives qu'on arrivera à quelque chose et pas en balançant des critiques non fondées par ce que ça marche pas sur telle ou telle machine !!!

Je comprend ce qu'il faut d'anglais pour comprendre que la majorité des gens qui se sont plaint sont des gens qui n'ont pas pris la peine de lire les lignes, mais seulement ce qu'il y avait entre elles ...

Toutes les questions ont des réponses, il suffit d'y preter attention ...

En attendant je dit bravo aux concepteurs de cette interface, la plus aboutie qui soit, n'en déplaise aux puristes ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
Regarding scrolling:

There are sliding/scrolling for the main center Home app, and then there's sliding/scrolling for all other activities (like in an app's list or something).

As of v 1.01b:

For the main center app:

you can configure it to behave like TouchFLO would by setting it to "Object Navigation" in settings. It defaults to "Slide Navigation" which does the opposite of TouchFLO.

For all other sliding/scrolling:

it is not currently configurable and always behaves the opposite of TouchFLO.

i think their intent was to always do the "slide nav" for everything. But some people provided feedback and led them to allow the option for the main center app. I suspect they will eventually allow all sliding/scrolling to be configurable similarly. but as of 1.01b, only the main center app is "fixable" to behave like TouchFLO.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrmikemcguire:
Ok so after installing and playing around with pontui home i decided that i wanted to uninstall it. Nice program but i dont really think i will use it. I uninstalled it and deleted the files from registry and program files. However down at the bottom bar it replaced one of my softkeys with the word HOME (previously Calandar). How can i get this back to calandar.

I know there have been discussion about how difficult it is to uninstall but we have plenty of competant people here on the forum and i have alot of faith!

thanks alot guys
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dferreira:
Problems detected in 1.01b:

- Settings -> Windows Mobile no longer shows every entry. For some reason, I only get 4 in System, 3 in Connections and 2 in Other. Nothing more. It used to appear on 1.0 :(

- If I go to the Running Applications and I have there "Programs", if I choose to Force Close, the PDA gives an error and then reboots it self. I can't see the error, the window that appears doesn't show any information...

- On 1.0, when I tapped any of the clocks on the Applet section, it would take me to the clock settings, it doesn't anymore. I think this is due to the customization add-on, since it doesn't have anything customized on the registry, it doesn't open the default application anymore. Maybe we could have the default apps already working, and if we'd like to change it, we could edit the registry? Better yet, customize it with a GUI :)

- None of the side buttons work: comm manager, voice, camera, SMS, IE, volume slider. But I guess that you already know :) Maybe a button mapper configuration?

BTW, are you guys planning releasing some sort of framework so that we can develop more for this shell?

Ideas:

- SMS chat style.

- Favorite Contacts middle applet, like say 4 picture contacts - tap and calling starts automatically.

Besides this minor bugs, I really like this! Keep up the good work ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] garcia1:
pointui bugs on my htc touch

- camera button not worked... camera not start

- volume buttons on leftside not worked too

- tap on clock not worked (set alarm/clock)

- charging battery is not visible

- and same bugs reported..

idea for next releases:

- need contact list

- need connect/disconnect GPRS

- need close applications (X)

- need support themes or changing background

- need language support for other languages

- need add/remove favorites app in today screen

- and more :)

but GREAT WORK... this app is perfect ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 200mpx:

He is correct about the uninstall information. Let your phone sit on the 1.1Free screen and the uninstall icon will pop up. the only thing now is the home button is gone and now the my calendar button has disappeared and the it has been replaced with the phone button. lol...oh well at least it's off my phone.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zcink:
The initial release was impressive -- worked Great.

This new update is horrible -- works like ****.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
For me 1.01b works MUCH BETTER than the initial release. Now it cleanly integrates S2U2 (instead of their screen lock), PocketPlayer (instead of WMP), and opens directly to my Seven mail account (vs. the Outlook email). Since I have S2U2, I still retain all S2U2 functions in addition to the finger friendliness of PointUI.

I still have all my settings. I know some people are having issues with that (and the sister problem of things like clock/alarms not opening). There is a fix for that, though its not straightforward. But it sounds like 50/50 on who has the issues.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:

Holy K#*Y#*RF#(#*)#@)*#!!! :( :( :(

Jeez.. you make a wonderful piece of software and the first four pages of this thread are full of people whining and complaining! I've never seen anything like it! All you ungrateful pricks should stop installing free software. Seriously. Go buy software and bother the devs who are PAID to care what you think.

Comparing people who have worked long and hard to provide you with something they think you will like doesn't make them Nazi's or AOL. I can't believe that on this thread, of all places, Godwin's law was fulfilled right in the first few pages. ZOMG I have to edit my registry to fully uninstall, I can't believe you would give me a free app and it's not 100% perfect.

The "b" means "beta," people. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of beta software, please read this entry in wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Beta

Basically, "beta" means that the software is not expected to be complete. Most of the features are in place, but there may be unknown bugs/side effects that you will have to deal with. Generally, beta version are for the adventurous types who don't get their day ruined if they have to open up a registry editor.

Furthermore, anyone who is crying about this excellent software needs to look at the name of the site they are on. By virtue of its name alone, you should understand that we get our hands dirty here. If you want Mickey Mouse software, there are plenty of sites where you can go download final versions. If you want to be part of the development process, see how things are done, and influence the community in a positive way - then by all means, stick around.

If I was an admin, I would ban every single one of you unappreciative bastards. If you don't like the software, that's okay - but you don't have to write nasty comments in the thread or call people Nazis. If you care to, write a short note about why you didn't like it. I don't want to suggest something that might be too uncomfortable for you, but you could even try thanking the developer for their time and for choosing to include us in the testing process.

Christmas is not two weeks gone, and none of you can recognize a gift put right before your face. You all feel as if you're entitled to something. I bet your Christmas mornings were full of sad faces when you screamed at your families because they gave you too little. "You stupid Nazi's bought me an XBox but not even a Playstation! WAA!" All the while, the thought of you giving or contributing never even crossed that feeble organ inside your head that you laughably refer to as your brain.

Contribute or piss off.

/rant

That said...

This is one of the most exciting apps I've found for windows mobile yet (been a user for a few years now). It does SO MUCH to fix the problems with windows mobile. I didn't even know it was possible for something like this to run so smoothly yet it does. I'm still baffled about how well it works.

Thanks (<--- there's that word, kids!) for bringing this to us, I look forward to future revisions and I will definitely be watching the progress on this app.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] watson540:
amen to the above. I too love this app and it will be on my phone for a long time, no need for me to even worry about how to un install :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
Amen from me also. I've been saying the sense of entitlement around here the last month plus has been at an embarassing level...

This software, even in its infant form, is simply AMAZING. Nothing preceding it even comes close on the WM platform. All the work on the various cubes, IMO resulted in much less. None of them match the smoothness and functions of this IMO. But I never poopoo'd those efforts. For those that say it does nothing to replace the stylus altogether, well name me one other WM app that does? They're still working within the same WM constraints as everyone else. But it does eliminate the need for stylus in alot of prevously needed areas. And they show promise of being able to make even more apps finger-friendly.

I'm stunned by this PointUI. I love it. I contributed an Andrew Jackson already. It has more potential than any other launcher out there, IMO. And um, it's friggin free!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:

Also they should add a calculator with a currecy converter.

great app dude... nice on the graphics and gesture.... thanx alot.... keep up the good work...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gustopher:
What he said.

I never cease to be amazed by the ingrates who seem to think that a forum member releasing a piece of free software that they have made in their own time comes with bulletproof lifetime warranties, a cast iron guarantee of stability and sub-second support response times. Do none of these people own M$ products? If they do, how do they find time to come on here - they must be fully exercised in writing snotty little letters of complaint about the bugs, mustn't they? If they have got hold of a source of bulletproof software I wonder if they might share it.

For me there are two rules to using software sourced through these forums:

1. Expect the worst and be prepared to hard reset if you have to - that's the price of being an early adopter

2. If you don't like it, take it off...and sometimes that may mean invoking rule 1

The software here is usually a journey, not a destination
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gingercat:
2 rules and 1 hope - that they will open-source it so us other developers can have a play too :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FloatingFatMan:
Couldn't agree more; but then you could probably tell that from one or two of my earlier posts in this thread. :p I get REALLY annoyed by zit brained morons who ***** and complain about problems free beta software, and can't even be bothered to read the damned instructions on the official boards (which are also full of idiots who can't use the search function).

For me; this is a great program that will only get better as it matures. Gives me a nice simple and clean interface on my phone; and if I WANT to get access to the stuff on my today screen, I just press the red call end button; voila.
