Beware Of Touch Comander "Touch Start Menu"

Beware Of Touch Comander "Touch Start Menu", which is included as an aded plug in (this plug in make your START MENU really thumb friendly) (Better Than "Large Start Menu").

BUT: When you go Landscape with your TILT. And then try to go Back to normal, YOU WILL END UP WITH YOUR PHONE FREEZED and have to soft reset.

IF ANYONE noticed or experienced ANYTHING DIFERENT of what I'm saying, PLEASE let me KNOW. :o
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itcrackerjack:
See attached for the theme and the program used to remove the softkey bar. The dock for the UL icons is part of the theme background. I just sized it to look right. For this I have the UL headers at 36px.

whity

I'm trying to do a whity theme... Like in allblack.tsk I have achivied to put flat white and not 3D. But I can't put the Start/Clock/Acept/Cancel...

text

of both bars in black.

I have change reg inserting the 5 value with black and here is the result: only the "Start" word (Inicio in spanish) changes color, but not the clock, wifi status, battery icons...

help please!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Just about right:
There is a website that allows you to make a theme for the PPC/WM device. I can't remember it off the top of my head but if you google PPC theme maker you will find it. Granted it doesn't go in depth, but it will do what you need. If I find it I will post the link later.

After hunting for thirty minutes I couldn't even find it again. I did run across last years theme generator winner and it is free. Check out the link and I hope it helps.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
the battery, phone symbol, speakers are graphics ! not text ! you can find them in \windows. so you can´t change their colors by registry. maybe you can change the graphics with a photosoftware or something like that.

you just can change the colors of signal strengh and clock by registry. clock uses the same as the text and signal strengh uses the colors of the default window color. you can change this easily with sktools.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] caballero600:
Now I'm using themegence and doesn't solve my problem, I have touch everything (I think) in this program.

Ohhh!!! they are grafics!! Thanks for that!!! what stupid I am!!!

Now I'm searching in the sktools, which one changes colors... thanks!! I haven't found it yet..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
you can change every color with sktools:got to "Tuneup!"-"Colors".

You have to test out every color change because in one window it looks good in another you cant read the text anymore. Somtimes ther seems to be no sense in wm using colors :confused:

As i wrote: You can set the color of the word "start" directly under SKTool. The bars of the signal strength use the background color of your windows. But you can also change this with sktool. But you can`t change the icons like battery they are white graphics. Dont know if its possible to make new color ones.

The easiest way is to use "wisbar advance".

Here are two pictures what i did with SKTools
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lazyboy0172:

SPB Diary in Ultimate Launcher

Has anyone had any issues putting it in a tab. I'm trying to do a combination of tabs and using the top one for SPB Diary. the issue that I am having is that it goes all of the way down the page and makes a scroll bar appear. anyone have any suggestions how I can reduce the length?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Section9:
Hi Jv0077, you need to go to 'options' in the SPB diary section and the 'general' section to specify the height for the plugin.

SMS Count

Hi All,

I'm facing a problem with the sms count.

i didn't use HTC Home in the Tab. But i still wish to access the sms tab from my UL.

I created and direct it to message.ink. But when i receive sms, it didn't shows the number.

So i wonder anyone of your could help me with this.

Thanks.

Edited on 29 Feb: I solve the problem by installing SBSH PhoneWeaver v1.2.1. So now i have the SMS count counter and added a missed call counter too. :):)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] martyotaku:
sorry for the dumb question ...but i got rid of the bottom bar ...now how do i move the ul icons to the very bottom of my screen?

thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iceaxe07:
go to UL, under Display tab, u will see "Tab headers position".

click on it to select Top or Bottom.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] martyotaku:
go to UL, under Display tab, u will see "Tab headers position".

click on it to select Top or Bottom.

yes i did that but still the icons r only underneath my plugin leaving about half of screen?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iceaxe07:
then i believe u need to set ur UL to the size of ur screen. cos the tabs are together with UL.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwickone:
Well what you did was just create a standard shortcut to the application. This icon cannot show you any counts. i don't think you can do what you want without a separate application. HTC Home obviously shows these items. I believe that the BatteryStatus today plugin can show these counts as well....I even thought there was a .cab file floating around that was linked to Messaging and showed counts....not sure.

Anyway, the short answer you cannot just assign this count to an icon. You need an app to do it.

Sorry for the long winded answer :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] martyotaku:
hey iceaxe07 thanx for the quick reply ...i have a tilt(kaiser) what settings do i adjust?

thanx again..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iceaxe07:
i'm not sure abt your screen size. so u have to try and error for it.

sorry for not giving u a proper ans.

as i myself using Elf.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] martyotaku:
should be the same since same screen size....do u mind posting ur settings?

thanx again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iceaxe07:

Has anyone using UL played with the new SPB Mobile Shell 2? It's pretty tight and I think I'm gonna try to use both on my device.

What I can't figure out is how to launch the SPB Mobile Shell Menu, which does not show up as a Today plugin in one of the tabs without there being an icon?? So, I want to launch the exe when the UL tab is activated.

Is that possible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Here's my Ultimate Launch setup

I had a stressful day because I added a new Today plugin (Metrix) on UL and it kept on crashing on reboot so I had to finally hard reset. At least it gave me a reason to upgrade to WM 6.1 on my Sprint Touch. Unfortunately while loading the Today plugins I had originally on UL before the crash, my phone hard crashed again. This time, it was by Phoneweaver, which had worked great until then.

I took a chance and kept the WM6.1 because of the SMS chat. Luckily, I managed to add on all the Today plugins I had w/ no problems for now. So here's what I have:

SBSH Phoneweaver

rlToday

Most Frequently Used Apps Launcher

Resco Today Plugin

SBSH Diary

Weatherpanel
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Apps Launcher

Systems & Utilities Launcher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
looks very cool, glad you use my icons.

One question: ist this at the bottom metrix? or another tool ? I installed mextrix, and i didnt have your problems, but my problem is that metrix isnt shown on today screen, also not when i disable UL. Is there any trickm? i have htc touch cruise and wm6 (german).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jambaj0e:
Best icon set I've seen, thanks! I used Resco Today Plugin that came with Resco Explorer. Stable enough for me =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bluemetalaxe:
okay, then i will try resco. seems that metrix is bull**** :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] @dom@:
Hi Dude

I think it isn't possible because SPB Mobile Shell Menu isn't a plugin, but a normal application, infact in the Today settings there are other plugins coming from it but not just itself!You can assign to your UL home tab the "gesture" to launch it by sweeping right/left/up/down (there is a Launcher.exe in the Mobile Shell installation folder) and not by a normal icon, but, anyway, you have to manually open it!

Normally if you reboot your device you have to always open it by right softkey, but in this circumstance, and don't need UL for this, you can allow it to automatically open making a new windows startup item, e.g. by SKTools!!

However UL and Mobile Shell don't work at the same time: the first is a today plugin and when you open any application, it's running yet in the today but not affect your opened app (i mean, e.g. starting IE you cannot slide to an UL Tab, right??!), the second one is exactly a common application!!

I hope to have being quite clear! :p

Ciao
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyecrispy:
Thanks for your input. I was aware of this already and had already assigned the launcher.exe to a gesture. I just wanted to see if anyone had figured out a way to have it launch automatically within a tab, but I guess not.

I did notice yesterday while playing with Mobile Shell 2 that if I gestured too many times to bring it up, the gesturing stopped responding! The other UL gestures did not stop, only the Mobile Shell 2 gesture. Weird!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trehouse:
Help, I can't seem to get UL to not freeze when going from 1 screen to the next. When it freezes it jumps to Activesync and then needs a soft reset. I've read this thread and all of my plug ins are unchecked when I install and only run under UL.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Houdini7:
Most likely one of the Today Plug-ins that are Active in UL is causing a problem..

Try removing All of the plug-ins from all of the sides of UL and see what happens

Or at lease stop them from loading at startup....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trehouse:
Thanks H7. I couldn't make it work with my UL.ini so I reinstalled and rebuilt from default. So far so good. Thanks!

Icons

I have a number of transperent icons that i use for SPB Pocket Plus, where can i install them (rather which folder do i need to place them to make them available) in Ultimate Launcher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kwickone:
First you need to convert them to .ico files. Then you can put them pretty much anywhere. When you need to specify an icon, you can Browse to wherever you put them. I keep mine under the UltimateLauncher folder, in a folder called Icons.

I am thinking I will move my Icon folder under My Documents so they will sync.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaneelias:
thanks for your quick reply, i have run into a couple bigger problems though, first i click on the start bar and the menu opens but if i click on programs or settings, neither opens, it is a rather large menu and i would like to make it small like the original,

secondly can someone tell me how i can add the SPB Diary and SPB Weather plugins to a tab each, i appreciate any help.

PS. a soft reset did not help with the menu problem

Changing Icons

Has anyone had any success changing program icons within the tab, i can easily change the tab icon but when i try and change the program icon, it is not valid, i would like to be able to change icons like i can in Pokcet Plus, any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oyegaurav83:
again.. icons should be in .ico format and you have to set the exact size in icon size option in UL.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
Also, when creating a program icon, one annoying thing about UL is that you have to commit to using default program icon or custom icon. You can't choose program icon first and then change it to a custom icon. You have to delete that icon, and then recreate it and choose xp-icon (32-bit) instead of program icon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaneelias:
Can you advise me how to do this, for example i have a tab in UL that i have changed the icon of, within that tab i have word, excel and powerpoint, i wish to change the icons of these to some .ico icons i already have, can you walk me through how i do this in UL
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rsmith:
Does anyone know the answer to this or can you point me in the right direction?

Never mind I figured it out, thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rsmith:
Clock icons

Does anyone know what icons are being used in the YouTube clip for MaxMotus right when the clip starts? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] superflysocal:
For example, with Word, goto UL settings. Then go to the tab with Word. Select Word and press change to see where the link of the program (skip if you know where it is located already). Now delete the Word selection. Then press New and select xp-icon (32-bit).

In the Command tab, find the link to that program from what you found from the above step. With Word you can go to \windows and look for pword.exe in which case you should select the *.exe button. I think you can also find the .lnk (link) to Word in \windows\start menu or windows\start menu\programs in which case you should select the *.lnk button. Then go to the second tab (I believe it is labelled XP-icon) and press the icon button and find your .ico files. If you know the size of the icon you want you should make sure the file size matches that displayed on the bottom . If it doesn't then click that box and change that size to match your icon size BEFORE you click to select the .ico file. If you don't have the right size BEFORE you click to select the ico file, you will get an invalid icon message. MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROBLEMS ADDING ICONS OR GETTING UL TO RECOGNIZE ICONS IS BECAUSE OF SIZE MISMATCH.

Extra hint: If all of your icon sizes are the same you can change the default global icon size in the XP-Icon settings tab (one of the main settings tab if you click the right arrow you will eventually see this tab), that way you won't have to keep changing the icon size for each icon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kaneelias:
That worked, thank you very much for your help.

Difficulty Assigning HTC Home to a UL Tab

I have a samsung i760. I have installed Touch Commander, Ultimate Launcher, and HTC home. I cant assign HTC Home to a new tab. I open UL then go to tabs | new | today plug-in then select the "HTC Home" check box. A new tab appears on my UL, but instead of HTC home appearing on the cube, it rolls to a screen that reads "The plug-in is already active". I also can't seem to get both HTC home and UL to appear on my today screen /simultaneously/-I can only choose one or the other. thanx in advance for the very cool theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rockfshr:
make sure that htc home isn't already selected as a today plugin.Under your settings-today-items the only today plugin that should be checked is ultimate launch.Then configure ultimate launch to have htc home as a tab.

UltimateLauch after reset

Didn't see this problem so it is possible that I'm the only one having it, but every time I reset my phone UL will not load. Further no other plug-ins will load either. I have to open today and uncheck UL, reset, then re-enable. Once I re-enable everything works fine until the next reset.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, disabled every other startup app/plugin, and used only the pages that default in UL on a clean install.

I like the app and would gladly buy it if I can get past this issue.

Thanks.

is it possible to put a folder in a tab?When I browse I find only EXE or LNK or *.*(single files).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
I believe you have to create a LNK to a folder first, then point to that LNK. Create a LNK by copy/pasting a shortcut to the folder.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Beast84:
And umm... How do you create a lnk might I ask?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] @dom@:
Hi dudes

Yes you can do, and without creating any .lnk file, just follow this step:

Go in the Tab that you created and prefer, than "New" -> "XP-Icon" (if you want to assign an icon, otherwise "Program-Icon") -> put in "Command" the explorer you want to use, like the windows default one, "fexplore.exe", or "Browse" the the app. you prefer (*.exe") (e.g. \Programs\Resco Explorer\explorer.exe ) -> put in "Parameter" the directory to the folder you want (e.g. \My Documents\Video ) -> done!

Ciao!
