First Glance

At first glance it looks amazing!!! I might get flamed for that but it is my opinion.

Currently,

-Sliding is smooth.

-It has a contacts application! Would like to see an option for Favorite Contacts.

-Calendar rework on the ribbon is great. Shows numerous days appointments.

-Dpad controls are present.

-Really intuative.

-Customization of animation is available under Customize Home. It can flip like the cube but in all directions.

-Battery drain is better but still a little more than my liking. This is probably device specific.

-Resource usage is down on my Wizard from before but still higher than most small programs

This is probably because things that PointUI controls in their interface like Weather, Contacts, CommManager

etc are always available immediately, no delay. It takes resources to do that. But I have to say overall 2 of

2 of the most recent cubes I have tried and 1 of the iphone knock offs I have tried have both been Ram hogs

with half the immediate access or smoothness this program gives.

-Messaging and calendar seem to be customizable to a degree still using a reg editor. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=355961

-They have their own keyboard going on. Try to edit a contact and see what I mean. It would be nice to see it

skinnable because the color of it is so dark.

-Scrolling is still opposite. Both on press and direct, and flick to scroll but I like it.

------

Things I'd Like to see--These may actually come, see my notes below

-More options on weather. I like HTC Weather plugin much better. It would be nice to see more forcasts then

today and tomorrow. I really think a Hybrid of HTC Today Weather and Weather Watcher would be the best

but they may have an issue covering all of the countries.

-PointUI Calendar-Bet its coming

-PointUI SMS-Bet its coming

-PointUI VOIP

-PointUI Dialpad

-PointUI Media Hub & Player. Bet something like it is coming but man wouldn't it be great if they would team up with

A_C to make a killer integrated app!!!!!

-Rework the lock screen. Again they should talk to A_C here.

-Would like to see a Charging indicator on the home page battery icon. It does show however when pressed.

-Would like to see a Sync icon appear when connected to the PC

I haven't spent much more than 10 minutes with it. I don't know how customizable it is as of yet. It looks like on their site they are developing more programs and customizations to go with it. I also notice that at the top of the download section there was an emphasis on this Home being "Free". That along with the green check marks for some things and red x's for others makes me think that adds or improvements may cost money going forward.

Thats ok. Good programs do cost money and should be paid for.

I will add more as I test further.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] killer_metallica:
Completely approve with you

I know it's a little early but to make this program "perfect" :

- an integrated SMS manager, like they did for Contacts

- surely theme customisation

- a shortcut manager for programs on the HOME screen (eg change the outlook calendar to ThumbCal or the Messaging to a program other than Outlook messaging)

Though, this program is still GREAT, and this update brings decents modifications and fixes
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I believe the integrated SMS is coming. Just from looking at their website it will be there but they will probably charge for it and good for them.

Theme customization same thing

The shortcut manager is there in a way. Just press the "Star" Icon. I actually think it helps keep the screen clean of clutter. For you other 2 requests, ThumbCal and Messaging. You can change these using a reg editor. Not as simple as a ui but it can be done. Let me know if you need help with it.

new version looks promising..waiting for Wm2003 Edition
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Draiko:
The new version is incredible!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deejacker:
a quick question

I am using version 1.02b, is it better to uninstall this version and start fresh? or should I use the update manager instead?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajige:
:(I really liked PointUI when it first came out, but realized pretty soon that I couldn't use it because of the way it lists the tasks. I was really hoping they had fixed that in this version, but see that it still lists tasks alpabetically instead of by due date.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
Looks great, and the "Pick a version" screen definately implies "another (non free) version is coming soon"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] theme freak:
Aaaa VGA version still have to wait :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I Agree!!!!! But I bet it means really neat adds!!! And good for them!! Its the only way to get Developers to move past initial implementation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I would recommend you completely unintall the previous version. By that I mean go through their unistall method and soft reset. Then file explore and delete all info out of \Program Files. Then reg edit and delete all info in \HKCU and \HKLM. Soft reset and then use this one.

Cheers

Thanks for that.

I currently have a notification of a new voice mail but there is no "voice mail" button like on WM ...

I am not for certain. I use visual voicemail so I have never encountered this. I will pass to someone who has. If I find the answer I will post it though.

Mail question

Hey Guys,

I'm loving this new update.. Way quicker on my HERM100 and very slick.

My question is when I get a new email in my gmail account it does not show on home. when clicking the mail icon on home it routs me to the outlook account. How would i switch this? I checked registry and didn't see anything in there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
See post #5 this thread. It has a link to tell you how to change it.

Good luck.

Trying this thread also:

Just installed PointIU, and I have used S2U2 for a long time, but S2U2 1.00 has some trouble coexisting with PointUI.

When pressing power button to activate S2U2, it won't activate properly. Pointui overrides S2U2... Also when the phone times-out, and S2U2 activates, I can press power twice to unlock the phone...

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks.

Ah. I just haven't tried it yet... I just took a guess because it wasn't listed
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WildSioux:
Go to the Settings Cog in the upper right. "Customize Home>Third one Down>Set to "Do Nothing..."
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I personally haven't had any problem with the 2 working together. I do know I saw a reg fix on this site about S2U2 but i thought it had to do with an older version of both. You may want to try the search function on this site to see if you can find it. Post back it you do. If you haven't already since your install, soft reset. That may clear it up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DrWatson2005:
Thanks! So simple... It worked like a charm!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I thought he meant something totaly different. I had forgotten all about that. DrWatson, my bad. I mis understood. Glad WildSioux was able to help.

Bottom Icon Row on Home Page

I am trying to change the PointUI Icon row on the Home page. I see a load of icons on their site in the forums, http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=613, but I am having trouble changing them. If someone figures out the reg edit post back.

thanks

Pointui realy Kicks ass

Great work Guys
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshkoss:
Thanks Dude,

Worked like a charm:

Customisation: Email account

- You can specify a store name in a String value called App.Email.StoreName

- This will then launch to the specified inbox instead of Outlook mail

- The store name is CASE SENSITIVE

- It doesn't appear to break if you enter a dodgy store name - just doesn't do anything Smile

- Unread message count indicator will be count of TOTAL emails across all accounts

- You NEED TO RESTART Home for this one to kick in

Curious George! Got another question! ;) (Talk KEY)

On my herm100 when I press the Talk key were it brings up the doal pad it comes up but is overlayed very badly with partial graphics of the pointui ui.

BUT when I click phone shortcut in startmenu from inside pointui it comes up beautifully.. I mapped the phone shortcut to my PTT key temporarily but any ideas on how to fix this?:)

Mucho appreciated my friend! -Josh
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] littld:
It still has the awful bug where scrolling with your finger works completely the opposite of every other app. It's the only thing I really hate about an otherwise great app. But I just can't get used to navigation one way and then the other. Surely they could make it an option (no there isn't one, unless its in the registry) to make it work like every other application out there?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] absorber786:
Please read the thread that you pointed out......

On to the reply..(which is on the same thread somewhere)

The icons have changed from the previous version to the new one.

Currently, there is no reg edit or functionality to change the icons
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrDSL:
Welp thats what I was gonna ask. I can't believe they don't at least have an option to change this. I mean every other touch scroll app works in the opposite direction accept this one..

very annoying..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] absorber786:
Have you read the PUI forums?

Just out of curiousity, has anyone who posted on this thread bothered to read and search the PointUI forums? All the questions asked here, have been asked and answered here on XDA multiple time, as well as the PUI forums.

The PUI forums have a wealth of knowledge regarding this product, third party app mods, reg edits etc etc....

PointUI Forum
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshkoss:
Sorry i'm guilty

Sorry Guy,

I just thought it was a new version so why not post questions on the new version here. also using the pointui forum requires a registration which i haven't done yet.. Probably will though :cool:

That said, Thanks to everyone here, Y'all have been awesome!!

And Whahooooo This is my 100'th post i'm "senior" now!! Yayyyyy I get discounts now right ;)

PEACE -Josh
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
LMAO!!!! You are correct. With this being a new version alot of the settings or availability may have changed. This is not the PointUI forum. Although we may use that to draw information from doesn't mean we are as familiar with their setup. And if it is our desire to post it on this forum it isn't double posting it is sharing.

I am working on your dialpad issue. Seems I had that issue at one time before. Is it possible you had the call/send key mapped to the wrong process, cprog.exe. if it was mapped incorrectly before it may have worked for you but may not be as complient with PointUI. Also, try 2 other things while i work at it. If you haven't soft reset since the install do that. And Go to the settings Cog\Customize Home\#3 and change it to do nothing, see if that clears it up. It shouldn't matter but I think the program may be trying to reinitalize itself somehow.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Its not a bug its just the way it is. I bet they will give the option to change it eventually. I will tell you though I hated it at first too. But after spending a little time getting use to it I actually like it better. You may already know but you can press and direct to scroll but you can also flick to scroll.

Anyway, hope you get to where you like it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] absorber786:
Congrads Josh,

You are right, this is a new version but most of the base fundamentals (i stand corrected) have not changed.

No stress though, always happy to assit where possible.

Contacts Customisation

Apologies if this is bleedin' obvious or answered elsewhere - I have searched both the PointUI Forum and XDA Devs...

I feel cheap for asking, given that the PointUI guys have spent their time developing a Contacts App, but has anyone found a method to override the default and replace it with (say) PocketCM?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I bet it is a reg edit. Probably like the AppStore edit for mail, tasks, calendar etc. We probably need to forum up at PointUI to find out. It is just so new being released today that I doublt its been posted on yet.

I actually would like to know the opposite. I would like to map the contacts button in the dialpad to the PointUI contacts. Anyone Anyone, Bueller???

As posted before ;)

The link in post 5 worked for my email issue. So give it a shot with the contacts section of the customization piece.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gustopher:
Yep, reckon you are right on both counts. I have to confess to not having registered at PointUI as one tends to get much more focused information here. The PointUI boards seem to me to be a bit harder to work with.

I'll just have to be patient...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gustopher:
Risky; different version of the app, plus Contacts customisation isn't discussed in that thread - tasks, calendar, email, yes, but not Contacts.

Too late at night for me to start hacking the registry now...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramontrotman:
is there a way to run both point UI and s2u on top of it? as of now everytime i power on the phone point ui come on OVER s2u. i want it where s2u comes on first...then when i slide point UI is there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramontrotman:
edit: setting Point UI to "do nothing" when device is turned on did the trick.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheChampJT:
You can change the registry option to run S2U2 instead, it's along the lines of:

HKLM\Software\PointUI.....

Add key App.Path.Lockscreen

Params to S2U2.exe.

Don't quote me on it completely, someone posted a thread with different reg edits for it.

Then make sure (haven't used new version, so not 100% sure) in the PointUI options, that once powered on, do nothing.

So then you will have S2U2 run on power up and when you tap the lock icon S2U2 runs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shadeofblue:
It's good that this app is growing... still... the missing user customizations and most important THE STABILITY issues make it little more than a tech demo IMHO...

When it crashes (and it will, most of the times) almost nothing will save you from a soft reset... -_-

So I hope they will focus on fixing these issues before thinking about new plug-ins api or stuff like that... :rolleyes:

can someone help please.....i have regedit on my rom ...how do i add Gmail as my default mail? i know post #5 but please for a newb who doesnt use regedit a step by step?

thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Here is what you need to do.

Open your reg editor.

Go to HKLM (Home Key Local Machine)

- In the key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Pointui\Home\{your version} (i.e. version = 1.5) create a new String value called App.Email.StoreName

- You can specify a store name in a String value called App.Email.StoreName

- This will then launch to the specified inbox instead of Outlook mail

- The store name is CASE SENSITIVE

- It doesn't appear to break if you enter a dodgy store name - just doesn't do anything Smile

- Unread message count indicator will be count of TOTAL emails across all accounts

- You NEED TO RESTART Home for this one to kick in

Hope that helps. Thanks to Mushipkw
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I lost that same amount initially but I noticed last night that it had dropped double that after letting it run all day. I am starting to wonder if it has a memory drain bug!!!!:eek: I don't know if it is device specific so lets find out.

For those of you who can; start with a soft reset and give us your memory before you start PointUI. Then give us a memory count after you have it up and going. Finally, give us a memory count after a long stint of it running like 6-8 hours. Don't forget to include your device, OS and ROM.

I am trying to figure out what devies besides my wizard that it is having a memory drain.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramontrotman:
can anyone confirm this is the correct reg setting? i want to try this. setting pointui to do nothing did the trick...but the problem now is after a few minutes point ui doesnt stay active when i s2u. instead it goes straight to the today screen. so i think i'll have to use that reg edit. just want to make sure its correct.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
This is an amazing program

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] martyotaku:
thank you curious george.......
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kingvash:
I would also like to know if this is correct.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
This does happen from time to time. Here is what I would recommend you do to remmedy it. Under Settings Cog\Customize Home\Task Bar Options (#7) select the setting "Use Home's Task Bar". Now when you "end key" a program or call if you see your original home screen you will have a much thicker status bar at the top produced by PointUI that you can press and immediately be taken to PointUI Home.

Its the only fix I can think of right now that is as simple as it is.

I'm using the CDMA HTC Touch (XV6900) and this thing drains my battery like no tomorrow just like Spb Mobile Shell. Has anyone found a solution for this? I barely used my phone and kept it in sleep mode most of the day and I'm down to 30% after only having it off the charger maybe ten hours! With Spb Mobile Shell it dropped at similar speeds. With neither program installed it was at about 70% after ten hours. Compare 30% to 70%, huge difference!

I absolutely love PointUI most and can't imagine going back to the default interface...does anyone have any ideas?!
