I think that's because the Bell UI is a ui and not a today plugin. It's an app like PointUI was. I would think that Bell remapped their home key to their interface app.lnk. This could be fixed if you port the bell diamond rom.
[Windows Mobile Themes] AllTheWay:
No go for me on the Fuze.

Followed the directions to a T.
[Windows Mobile Themes] xboxmod:
HI

bell ui is not point ui!

it's a today plugin.

i don't test it on raphael

but i investigate on this.

try to slide down from the taskbar

to see bell ui!

i meet this problem on my old version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] baallrog:
what about the language failed validation problem ?

I'm french and i meet this problem.

Thank you in advance
[Windows Mobile Themes] agentdr8:
This is great! Much faster response than TF3D. Can't wait til the themes start rolling out ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] caballero600:
would be great seeing this for qvga...
[Windows Mobile Themes] wilderer:
yes, qvga would be very nice! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Blazeitup123:
wow, bell ui is pretty cool. still poking around, but first thing i noticed is comm manager will not come up. i push it and nothing. good work tho :D

The Bell User Interface for Windows Mobile

4-Nov-2008

It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with Bell Canada and Microsoft in the development of the Bell User Interface. For more details please visit the Bell User Interface microsite.
[Windows Mobile Themes] encephalon9986:
can some one post a video of this in action for us?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bugsykoosh:
http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=965
[Windows Mobile Themes] master athlon:
not quite

I'm pretty sure that this Bell UI is not Pointui, yes its from the same devs that made Pointui but its not what Pointui 2 is supposed to be like. They specially made this for Bell Canada, its a new UI designed for Bell Canada to put on their Touch Diamonds. You may be right, but from what I've read and heard I'm quite sure that this indeed, is not Pointui.

QVGA would be lovely if someone can make it happen! :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] hdubli:
works fine on Asus p565..I think one of the best Today and flawless UI..much much better than TF2d/3D great work (y)
[Windows Mobile Themes] bugsykoosh:
The PointUI that you've used in the past is called Home (or version 1). There is likely going to be a v2 and this is a variant of it. So no, this is not PointUI Home that was released months ago..it's really an upgrade or nextgen of it though.
[Windows Mobile Themes] blazingwolf:
What is a good viewer/editor for the jif files?
[Windows Mobile Themes] the0ne:
great job, i am sending you some beer money :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Blazeitup123:
is there a way to send sms messages from within the bell ui, or is the only way to load messaging from win mo?

you can read 'em but i can't find how to send.
[Windows Mobile Themes] ronnybej60:
It works great. I actually have both TF3D and BellUI going at the same time. I installed the Manilla Control to switch between today screens and my TP still runs smooth. Its sick.
[Windows Mobile Themes] yzf750:
Working pretty decent on my Fuze also after installing
[Windows Mobile Themes] bombzhome:
Wow this interface is so smooth and fast. Using this instead of TF3D for the time being.
[Windows Mobile Themes] yzf750:
Anyone found a way to get the canadien news disabled? that checkbox is greyed out, all the others can be checked or unchecked however.
[Windows Mobile Themes] clandestino_usr:
That's really some great work, congratulations and thanks for making it possible!

Has anybody checked if this UI works on the Touch HD (ie, if it does not distort too much because of the WVGA resolution)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Ninja_Gundam:
Works good on Imate Ultimate 8150 wm61 :) I look foward for a way to hardly customize all that great app :)

Chooo
[Windows Mobile Themes] konsta819:
Impressive effort on this dude.

Any comments I would make would be directed against Bell UI itself rather than your translation of it.

I got very excited for a moment when I saw the facebook tab; thought that there might finally be a viable facebook winmo solution. Alas it's just a link.

If someone could poke around and work out how to change the feed source for the news, that would be really nice.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mugglesquop:
brilliant cheers :)

innovative and smooth!
[Windows Mobile Themes] teddyen66:
:-)

Simply perfect.

Works on both my Diamond and my Advantage X7500.

Everything installed on Internal Storage/Micro Drive.

So great to have the same setup on both devices.

Great work, thanks :-)
[Windows Mobile Themes] PaNa-S:
Hi is very nice but I think it needs a button or something like that for missed calls!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] mclein:
Edit jif as? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] blazingwolf:
That is what I would like to know too. Asked earlier but no answer yet.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lyndel4:
This UI looks so cool when will the QVGA version be out? I really wana test this on my HTC prophet any updates?
[Windows Mobile Themes] MasterOfDesasters:
Do you read the thread carefully? You are that kind of forum user which makes threads unreadable because they get filled with crap and useless questions.
[Windows Mobile Themes] y2whisper:
yeah it would be nice if i could delete messages from the UI.

Hey ATW, does it just not come up after? for me I had the black theme loaded so I couldn't see the text that read click here to launch. had to change to the bell theme to be able to see it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lyndel4:
Thanks al wait for the QVGA version to come out :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] FloatingFatMan:
Installed it, played with it, removed it again.

Not terribly impressed TBH...
[Windows Mobile Themes] superpc:
it seems to make my diamond extremely slow

idk but after launching bell ui, memu ppopup speed was very slow, and also icon rendering speed
[Windows Mobile Themes] mclein:
I've tried a thousand programs and I could not ... photoshop, gimp .... any idea how to edit. jif?:confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] xboxmod:
jif files are not a simple picture

this is a container.(pictures,command,ect)

for now impossible to edit.
[Windows Mobile Themes] alabij:
Great App. Way better than TouchFlo3D in my opinion. Maybe I just got bored of TouchFLO.
[Windows Mobile Themes] PaNa-S:
And create a new one only with a icon like the icons of "menu"?
[Windows Mobile Themes] stuckonashelf:
thanks guy, like it better than winterface! Is there a way to make a myspace tab and can we load these with their feeds how the news loads feeds?
[Windows Mobile Themes] thrasher9:
I know I should just install this and check it out to answer my own question but can anyone explain what the facebook tab is doing?

Is it a bookmark for the website or is it an application?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bombzhome:
This interface drained my battery quick. Typically where my phone would be at 60-70% it was at 40-50%.
[Windows Mobile Themes] m.carroll:
agreed. its probably because of the continuous rss updating.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bombzhome:
I took off anything that dealt with Pocket Express from my Home Tab. I'm gonna see how it goes through tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Silence66:
cannot get it working on my trinity

installed everything and set the bellui theme and only the bellui element. i see a text on the home screen "click here to start bellui"

when i click, something starts for second (saw some changes on the menubar) but crashes one second later and the same text again appears in the home screensomeone has an idea?
[Windows Mobile Themes] blazingwolf:
It's probably becuase your phone is a QVGA device and not a VGA device. This program is only for VGA devices (hopefully that will change soon).
[Windows Mobile Themes] Silence66:
omg your right...should had a look on my old phone specs^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] hoankhang000:
web tab

can i change the web tab on the left bottom to Phone tab?
[Windows Mobile Themes] FloatingFatMan:
It attempts to open the mobile facebook page on your default browser.

I say attempts because I got a "Page not found" when the browser loaded. :/
[Windows Mobile Themes] carnero:
Tried on my Touch Pro and it works well. It's faster than TouchFLO 3D and without any freezing or slowing down device. All I tested worked.

Thanks for porting...
[Windows Mobile Themes] mkrivoy:
Sprint HTC diamond

Works really great on my HTC diamond. Only a couple problems. The known bug obviously. I can not get farenheit instead of celsius and everytime I click on a bubble it asks me to subscribe now. I push subscribe now and I get an error telling me self serve is not available. Last but not least can not get anything but Canadian headlines on my news. Canada is great and everything but I amnot to worried about the Toronto's traffic lights being reapired. lol Any way to change this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] PaNa-S:
You can subscribe with the wifi data connection for example :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] mkrivoy:
I will have 2 try that. one more thing is there any way to incorporate missed calls and voicemails
[Windows Mobile Themes] chch:
Point UI vs Bell UI

Just to clear up this issue .....

PointUI is the name of the company. The software you are referring to is called Home .... e.g. PointUI Home 1.5

BellUI was made by PointUI but is not PointUI Home2 ..... PointUI Home2 will probably never exist
[Windows Mobile Themes] MonteCristoffOn:
OK on WVGA devices

Hi xboxmod,

Finally done!

Bravo!

I've tested it with succes on my HD Blackstone.

Same behavior as the Bell UI ROM i've tested previously on my (ex)Diamond.

The only difference is a 160 pix high empty space between panel and main icons (not really important except the fact that it's lost space...).

I'm going to investigate further now...

Thanks.

:cool:
[Windows Mobile Themes] Liero:
hello... very nice aplication, clear, fast.. amazing...

..but i have question..

It is posible add to main screen big clock looks like touch flo3d or 2d(analog) ... many bubles need for running internet connection ...but i cant use it.

Or can somebody tell me how setup internet connection on Pay and Go SIM card... United Kingdom .. network O2 ... Thx very much.

sry 4 me english.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mokhabarat:
is it possible to have the portrait view in landscape?

i guess its pretty clear in the title!

the landscape menu as almost useless, in my opnion at least, i have an htc athena so i'm mostly using my device in landscape, which is not very helpful

is there a way to get the portrait screen also in landscape?
[Windows Mobile Themes] be_cool:
nice

very good app.. until home 2.0 is out January 1st 2009.

Looks like it is for users from canada so dont complain about rss news from Canada :P

if you like it wait for home 2.0 or use this and move to Canada..

btw i register to pocket express and it works.. jut put some random phonenumber.

Some bugs:

Where do i disconnect the 3g connection?

Where are some Portuguese citys in world clock?

Where is the wvga version for my HD? :D some minor bug in the buttom..
[Windows Mobile Themes] stuckonashelf:
hmm how to see missed notifications other than the top curtain which I am using Wisbar 3 on? it doesnt seem to like that
[Windows Mobile Themes] zenkinz:
same observation on my Xperia which is also WVGA. looks like the bubbles does not take advantage of the longer screen estate which is a waste.

my main gripe is most of the content (news, sports, etc) are tailored towards Canada (since it's a CA ROM) so alot of irrelevancy. Even the world clock doesn't have all the countries (and one of them is my home country!)

The interface is slick, and fast. 5MB of files versus 32MB in the case of Touch Flo, I think it sums it all in terms of performance optimisation. PointUI is best known for their small footprint and I think this is true for Bell UI as well.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GAPY427:
World Clock

I can't get past the letter 'B' in the selection of places in the World Clock menu. I'm in the US, so I would like to use New York. Is there a better way of scrolling through the menu?

Good work, by the way!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Jorlin:
Is there a way to make only the taskbar drop down application available and work as a stand alone?
[Windows Mobile Themes] marios96:
There are two ways of scrollig in most of the tabs. You can flick up or down your finger to scroll (like the iphone or htc touch) and you can use an invisible taskbar which will appear as soon as you click on the right of that tab.
[Windows Mobile Themes] xda5566:
is there a way to setup stock porfortlio for stock symbols in other countries like Singapore?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ecker2008:
i installed everything in the correct order on my cdma Touch Diamond.. everything worked great except for the bubbles.. I click to add bubbles and there are none to chose from.. I am going to uninstall/reinstall and get back to you.. maybe something went wrong.. anyone else get this?

EDIT: so i did the uninstall and then reinstalled, but it still doesn't work.. i'm not sure if it is just the ROM i am running or if it doesn't work for and CDMA phones.. any other cdma users get this working?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mavster:
Awesome! Just installed on my Xperia and works perfectly. Only the background is messed up due probably to the WVGA resolution. Any chance you can fix that?.....and maybe the landscape mode too since the icons are messed up too on a WVGA.:)

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] bullseye:
First of all it looks great and works great.

Two things i miss. Battery status is gone in the top bar? So difficult to see how much is left and no local time in the today screen? Only the world clock is available as a bubble. I would like to see the time when is switch in my moblie. I use my mobile more for checking the time the my watch :)

Never mind! found it :-)

stil would like to see the time in the home screen
[Windows Mobile Themes] LilRico:
I installed the Pocket Express version that came with the Sprint TP, and it took away all of the Canada stuff. I'm testing it out now, to make sure it updates the rest of the UI.
[Windows Mobile Themes] xchicagoan5:
You need to go into the settings. Once you get there, you can change locations, etc. I had the same problem until I changed it to US.
[Windows Mobile Themes] LilRico:
yeah I had to install the Bell version because things like Sports and Weather wasn't updating...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
I so love this thing...... absolutely awesome to see something VGA based as well.....
[Windows Mobile Themes] Acceptable:
Does this work on single touch units like the Dell Axim x51v? If so, does it work well on such units using a finger rather than a stylus?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
definitely needs a front page like the TL or something.... nice big clock.... digital AND analog.. withi choice, plus it should be customizable..... then it'll be great... oh plus if you can access the photos from the SD card (selected location)..... but yeah nothing is really assigned like music and things.... but yeah i still enjoy it ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jank0023:
Having some issues. Downloaded new pocket express but can't get anything to show up. Anyone have a cab that I can use in the US? I'm using ATT Fuze/HTC Touch Pro.
[Windows Mobile Themes] mskovrinskie:
I had 2 strange problems with this:

1) While installed, new email notifications did not make a noise. After install I think it unchecked the option to play a sound with new email. Even after I checked it, it still did not make a sound.

2) After uninstalling, it broke Java on my Fuze. There were 5 entries listed as <unknown> and Opera Mini would no longer launch. I had to reinstall Opera Mini.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jank0023:
Shortcut errors

Besides the shortcut error to the mediaplayer that has already been mentioned...the icons for the programs does not appear on mine. The text for the apps is there..but no icons...is that what everyone else is seeing too?
[Windows Mobile Themes] xboxmod:
hi

simply click on add bubbles then edit to add all bubble you want......
[Windows Mobile Themes] eranyanay:
Will it support hebrew in further versions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rizwan157:
how much does this software cost if anything? looks promising
[Windows Mobile Themes] gurluver:
its free

just tried it... the UI is very nice I must say... Very well done for early beta version, however, a few comments:

- it doesn't fully support the wvga screen. the bubble/frame/widgets is correctly display, but the 4 buttons are lower down, outside of the background area, which renders the background of the buttons to whatever screen was there before.

- multimedia link doesn't work/can't customise players

- hard to understand the back scene, where users must need to know his way around to update all the widgets

- doesn't allow slide very well yet, sometime a slide is misunderstood for a click, should be able to customise touch threshold.

Will definitely try when next version comes out!
[Windows Mobile Themes] discipler:
Giving it a try now.

Thanks for sharing your talent with us.:)
[Windows Mobile Themes] discipler:
removal of original "express"

When installing the fourth cab file, my device asked to remove the original version. But then a message popped up saying it couldn't be removed. Is that going to be a problem? I selected to install the second copy onto my device memory.
[Windows Mobile Themes] BenzBeatz:
Very Impressive Interface

Hey, Really loving this bro, well done!!

Will have a play with it and post back any feed back! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] adasad:

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] venumx:
for those of you trying to work with the jif images, i know that you can import the jif filetype into swish, not sure if it is the same filetype as the images you are trying to open. But you can also export to this type, im not at home to test this, but maybe someone else can test it to see if it works.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jank0023:
On the 4th tab on the home screen you can just delete the programs there and add your own. That will make the shortcuts there work. The multimedia player not launching isn't a huge deal but I would like to be able to set pocketexpress up to US News vs Canadian. In the version included you can't delete the Canadian news and when you in stall a newer version of pocket express it doesn't seem to "integrate" with the whole interface.

Any ideas on how to delete the CAnadian entry on the provided version of Express or how to get the GUI to work with a US version of Express?
[Windows Mobile Themes] angadvirk:
if i install the cabs on my htc touch will it work or no u need htc touch pro or diamond?
[Windows Mobile Themes] rightjb:
Genius!

Resident Genuis at work! Amazing.

Will I have any problems with this on the FUZE?
[Windows Mobile Themes] lafester:
lol @ everyone who asks if this will work on their non-vga devices.

its in the thread TITLE people :p

looks like wvga get to use it too :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] venumx:
no, it should be fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jank0023:
Works on my Fuze..minor issues with mediaplayer shortcut and that Express is hard coded to lead with Canadian News..most of the functionality is there. I like the interface because it is much faster than TF3D even using the tweaked ROMs.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lyndel4:
lol I guess people can't wait to use it on there phones even if its non-vga version :P
[Windows Mobile Themes] Acceptable:
How about those who ask whether it'll work on single touch VGA PPCs? As a relative nub, I find it slightly bothersome that no mention is made of such compatibility in numerous threads of the like here.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Sasimi:
Just installed this and it does look very nice, but now I've got a problem. Active Sync doesn't seem to work anymore, I keep on getting the "please update to 4.5 or newer blablabla'' on my Diamond. And my pc tells me to check everything[which it does automaticly]but doesn't find anything wrong with it.

Any solutions? Since I installed 4 cabs, I tried to remove everything, but there's only one that can be found under ''Remove programs''.

Any help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] blazingwolf:
It works fine on a X50v running WM6.1.

It should work fine on the X51 and such though you probably need to be running WM5 or higher.
[Windows Mobile Themes] rizwan157:
thanks gurluver for confirming that

There is a slight problem with the first download link.

[Windows Mobile Themes] ai6908:
I installed this on my tilt, and couldnt get it load! I wonder what I am doing wrong!!:o
[Windows Mobile Themes] master athlon:
Its VGA only, your Tilt has a QVGA screen, so therefore it will not work. As of right now it only works on VGA devices, although it would lovely we could get a QVGA version, but thats probably too much work. And Pointui Home 2 should (hopefully :rolleyes:) launch not too long from now!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ai6908:
Thanks, i always get confused between QVGA and VGA...:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] _wizo_:
Is it possible to change the theme color ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mavster:
Anybody tried it on a WVGA?

Edited: I meant WVGA not WQVGA :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] MPerki:
Very nice work on this. Everything seems to work so far except Activesync.

It is way faster than TF3D and has nice slick feel.

According to the Pointui website, this UI is based on V1.5 Pointui and when V2.0 comes out, it will be a whole new application.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
i own a bell touch pro. so i have bell ui installed.

I turned it off a few munutes after i open the box.

I found bell ui nothing special, here is why:

1) there isn't enough different bubble to choose from.

2) Faverite programs tab has only 12 slots (maybe it will expend if i add 12 slots.

3) the UI design was very poor, it used up most of the screen, only 30% of the screen is actually used, the rest if background.

I switched to vito's winterface after a few days.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Djay64:
i totally disagree about the vito's winterface.... they can say it's not an iphone ripoff till they're blue in the face, but anyone can see all it is, is a slight modified iphone.... where if i want the iphone, i'd buy it or download the applications closer to it...... doesn't look interesting.... no life to it where as the bell UI is different, and the options is soo cool.... only problem for me that it has is not being able to change the background to what i want, and the wrong short cuts..... other then that i'm glad to have it...... Plus it's VGA focused, easy email access, news, facebook and weather.... woot woot to this Bell ui application.

works like a charm on my Diamond

its fast, looks good and i like them bubbles

anyone know how to get more bubbles?

like a analogue clock for example
[Windows Mobile Themes] lbhocky19:
im at work right now so i cant download and try

but am i able to simply turn it off and go back to tf3d?

and how about uninstalling. any conflicts or issues?

and can you disable things you dont want like all those news feeds?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mavster:
Yes you can by deselecting it from the home screen settings.

Yes you can disables bubbles.

Yes you can remove it (Dunno if it causes problems)

Only problem I found on my experia X1 is the WVGA resolution that messes it up. Does anybody know how to fix it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] LSshock:
oh and the Slideshow bubble makes my Diamond crash
