Great app, lovely interface, works very smooth and like a charm!

Like with all beta-apps, I have some suggestions. (Some of them are already mentioned tho);

- Interface for costumizing options.

- Possibility to set time to 24h or adapt the regional settings from WM.

- Perhaps an other weather source? (AccuWeather i.e).

- A theme to match the colours of the PointUI interface.

- Leave hardbuttons enabled. This makes the stylus even more unneeded.

- Option to set a default applet for the Home-screen. Analogue clock is default now.

- Close apps from within the Running Applications screen. (i.e. a cross in the upper right corner)

- Dont re-group the WM settings.

- Include a contact manager.

- A phone/dialpad/pinpad skin to match.

- Scroll down the appointment applet to see more appointments.

- Go back to the PointUI home screen when closing an app.

Or even better; forget all the above mentioned and build an entire ROM based on PointUI!! :D

I've only been playing around with it since yesterday evening..

So I might come across more things that could be changed!

Once again, great app! Keep up the good work! :cool:

pointui theme

I'm clueless when it comes to pulling files from ROMs [and whether it's even possible], but if it is I think the skins/theme ITJE created for his Touch of Blue Norwegian ROM would do the trick.

In the beginning i didn't think much of this app but as I tried and went a bit deeper i found out that it is a very good basis for further development. I hope to those things being added:

- App launcher (that would involve Phone & Contacts)

- Being able to decide how to scroll: I'm so used to the directions as in PocketCM oder Opera Mini 4, it's a bit confusing when you have to scroll up to actually go up :D Still, I know it makes sense this way, so it would be amazing if the user was to decide this by optional alternatives...

- I don't know if this is possible, but i so wish that pocketui would be the frontend of all the actual WM6 menus. I think the S2U2 option thingy is what that could look like. I'm sure everyone would love that.

Other than that I have a bug that I didn't read about wether here nor the PointUi Forums... When, on home screen, I change to Appointments, the whole thing freezes and only soft reset will get it running again. Strangely, S2U2 shows an appointment, but in the Appointment app there are no (wait for it...) appointments. See where I'm getting? Me neither...

So if anybody knows what I did wrong please answer :)

So, I'm looking forward to what PointUI will be one day... When I think of PocketCM and it's fantastic features that were added one after another I know that there is a great deal of things awaiting us.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] berardi:
I'm sorry but without further customization this program doesn't interest me. It is very pretty but I need more customization. I want to be able to change the slider items on the home screen and I don't see how you're supposed to close open programs. Other than that - yeah it's pretty. I'd like to use it if I could customize more. Maybe later revisions will take care of that.

Uninstalling was an unpleasant experience - for one thing it kept trying to redownload and reinstall. I circumvented that by pressing the end call button repeatedly. I then uninstalled. Then the soft button for calendar was still stuck on "home" I had to regedit that out. What a pain
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] downloader35:
Well. As I do agree with most comments on further option. For me I would very very quickly want an option to change the scroll direction as I keep doing it wrong. And I don't like it the way it is now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] prodinho:
@berardi & downloader35;

This is a beta-release you simply can't expect it to be complete or perfect!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eleazar123:
Ah! Thank you! I couldn't figure out a quick way to get to my desktop for profile changes via Phone Alarm. Now this program is completely functional for me :) I love that now it uses S2U2 for locking, pocket player for media, and whatever e-mail program I want (i actually use outlook lol). Now, I'll just sit and wait for more visual customizations. :)

I have been using this for a few days now and i think its great to play with for now. If you are someojne who needs the buttons on their phone to work (ie: button 5 voice command) then it isnt for you.

but it looks pretty.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FloatingFatMan:
They have an updated EXE for people to test that fixes that issue. It'll be put into a proper update soon. See their forums for a linky.

The update software works in my x50v running Maglite ROM WM6, but not the Home software.

Any news for a VGA - Non-Phone version release?

I can't get the Phone button to do something else. I've replaced the lock with S2U2 and Music with Audio Manager and that works fine.

I used \Programmabestanden\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe and Windows\cprog.exe on a dutch Touch. I know the paths are right but what am I doing wrong? Restarting or soft resetting didn't help.

[edit]

What does App.Path.Contacts do?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fizawan:
As a matter of fact I also cant set the icon too, but if I set the App.Path.Phone to randomaccess it will go to the green button. What should be done here?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] darkgemini:
Patch fix in-call volume changing and close button

During the call, change the volume from the side button will cause the phone goes back to Home. This patch will fix that bug, and also the Close button now actually close the apps instead of minimize them.

Amazing App guys, for a first release it is really really good, keep up the good work, now i need to design a theme for WM to go along with the blue, my brown Louis Vitton doesn;t really go well with it.

I just installed it, and playing around with the registery editor , but so far, it is even smoother than the original HTC home.

can't wait for the next releases :)

again keep up the good work.

Phone and contacts customization

Hi there

Has anybody found a solution for mapping the Phone button (not the green soft key, the button in Home) to PocketCM? I've tried the key for Phone and for Contacts, but doesn't make any difference... It did, however, manage to map the green hard button to PocketCM...

Apparently I'm not the only one experiencing this pb, anybody found a solution?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Azimuth21:
with the latest update, regular button use is now possible, meaning the messaging button, ie button, and others are now functioning as they should, so i just mapped pocket cm to the messaging button.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FloatingFatMan:
How do you mean? PointUI is primarily designed for touch screen devices...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gajet:
I mapped Pocket CM to the media icon (musical note on home screen), as I never use my Artemis for music or video, and was useful to keep the call log mapped to the phone icon.

version Black

Installing the theme (copying the file to the device)

* On the device, close Home.

* Open File Explorer and navigate to the install path of Home

- Default location is My Device > Program Files > Pointui > Home > {Version} at time of writing the version is 1.01b.

* Rename Home.cdl to Home.cdl.blue so you have a backup

* Extract the attached file to your computer

* Rename it from Home.cdl.black to Home.cdl

* You can either cradle the device (ActiveSync) or copy the file to a memory card.

* Copy Home.cdl to the install path of Home on the device

* Load Home

* Admire the new black theme.

Just saw pointUI on G4.

I think they missed the point!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] craigiecraigie4:
Quick questions:

- Can I add standard plugins in any way? Ideally I want an appelet page with a list of my fav plugins (dashboard, GPRS monitor, etc etc)

- Can I disable appelet pages (eg tasks & analog clock)?

- How do I get settings menus to list all my settings cpl apps? Currently personal tab has ONE item; backlight.

- Is anyone designing custom applets (eg quickdial, calendar and clock on same page, or even one uber home page with everything)?

- Can I create a shortcut list rather than 'favorites'; ie force the shortcut list rather than have it changed based on recent use?

All-in-all this slidey interface is SO interesting it looks worth supporting and testing for a bit. Let's not forget that Wizbar, spbPP, spbPhone, iLauncher, etc etc ALL were very limited in the beginning. With support the authors will, hopefully, open up some fucntionality.

Hopefully soon we will never need to go back to the old sytle WM6 interface once the Pointui Team finishes thier work!

Grabbed the fixed exe and the black theme. RAAWR this is awesome! :) Nice having the volume adjustments working :D

Any chance to reverse the scroll motion? So when you slide your finger up it scrolls down??

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
Yes, thank you for sharing the skin that was provided to you by the PointUI team!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] borealcool:
Ahh, now you just crossed over into the silly fan boy category. It's a shame really, some people might have taken you seriously :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] borealcool:
Hey jomo25,

I would like to apologize for the above post :o

First, I thought your comment was directed at me since I was the last person to post a file in this thread. Second, I was not aware of certain details and thought a minimum amount of work was put into desaturating the PointUI skin into an HTC Touch-like appearance and the software hacked to accomodate it. I now know that PointUI is entirely to credit for it and as such should have been credited.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
Hey no worries borealcool! Glad we can have disagreements and still be civil...

Looking forward to other skins too. Though, I do wonder how custom the skins can be if they are distributed via Update Manager. I hope eventually there's a way to do our own themes from scratch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] borealcool:
I agree, skins and language files are a no brainer and should of been designed inot their concept from scratch. The community would of had it translated into 80 languages by now ;)

Hi all,

If you are searching some PointUI stuff, you can find it here.

I'm trying to aggregate them, so... If you find something else about that, thank to tell me !

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaY87:
Thanks for the great app.

I am using a german rom atm and I saw that the update manager is installed in "\program files" instead of "\programme". Dont know if this causes problems.

There should be a button to close all active apps. I am only able to display them. Regards ;)

Edit:

I am also not able to open Phone and Wifi Settings here..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emay:
Once you have opened a running app within pointui you can close it by tapping the left topmost corner of the screen. You will get a new screen with :

- Force close

- Home

- New

Hope this helps!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaY87:
Never noticed that, thank you!

Using now my wwe rom and there I don't have problems to open phone settings. It really seems to be a localization problem ;)

the best UI i have used...it took awhile to get used to it and find all the locations but now i have the hang of it everything can be done really fast.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mzaslam:
excellent work

What a great app... definitely one of the best (if not the best) of its kind. Totally transforms my WM6 device into something else. I have tried quite a few in the past with the likes of SPB Pocket Plus, iLauncher, cLaunch etc and none come close to the look and feel of yours. Just lovin it.

Love the GUI and general feel of how it all hangs together. I can only imagine what future releases will be able to do.

I have one or two observations/comments that I would like to share:

1. Using "force close" closes back to the default today screen and not the PointUI Home screen - so would be nice if that could be sorted for a future release.

2. Maybe have an option for closing/minimizing within PoiuntUI?

3. Like alot of people have said - customization

4. Settings - would be nice if you could map default apps from within PointUI rather than having to hack the regstry.

5. It would also be good if you could choose which apps appeared on the Home screen. Personally dont use my device much as a media player so dont have much use for that icon (personal preference of course)

keep up the good work and I am looking forward to the next version.

PointUI 1.1b Update

There were some updates that came out and listed on PointUI's website and the forum. I consolidated these updates into the cabs listed below. Two of the updates I customized for the services I use and as always, rather you like it or not I share.

The first two are just the updates with either the Default Blue Theme or the Optional Black Theme. The next two are the same updates I just changed the default Device Locker and Media Player to S2U2 and HTC AudioManager.

I am running this on an English Hermes Rom Version. This has only been tested and ran on Shamanix WM6 Ultimate v2.1 Rom which is based off of Schap's 4.31 Rom. All buttons now work, volume control now works, in fact everything now works the way it is suppose to.

This is a Great Program! It made me flash my rom one more time to remove HTC Home.

Oh, the updates are very old.

Help a newbie with Pointui

Hi folks.

Home works well but the the four icons on the main page are of no use to me. So it looked like this was a way to program them to more useful targets. Using PHM RegEdit I added a new string into HKLM\Software\Pointui\1.01b called App.Path.Media. Its value is {Windows}\Start Menu\Programs\Calendar.lnk. It doesnt work. I still get the media player. I tried removing the curly brackets but that made no difference. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Paul DeLeeuw (pdl@mail.com)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Azimuth21:
paul, you're supposed to be putting that registry entry into

NOT

HKLM\Software\Pointui\1.01b

other than that, it should work fine.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Eric29:
I don't understand whythis minimizes apps instead of closing them. I end up with all my apps running.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] makaveli86:
ummmm this has probably been asked a few times, but i cant seem to find a answer (searched through all 16 pages) but I have a smartphone (HTC Vox) and when launching the app i can move and browse thorugh it with no problem, but at times i can't click 'select' and nothing works. like if i put it in lock mode, no button on my keypad will relieve the lock. is there a fix for this? got the idea there might require a registry fix of soem sort? any help would be appreciated, thanks! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ROCOAFZ:
Grab version 10 in the test section. It fixes it for smartphones. Originally point us was not made for smartphones but so many downloaded it, they are working on adding support.
