It sucks

1) Still no czech characters support. Almost all my contacts are messed up. Most day names too.

2) It is sometimes laggy on my 200 MHz OMAP, especially when it is not the only app running. Also some widgets take a while to load.

3) It crashed after five minutes of toying, I had to do a SR to revive it.

4) Why the hell does it ignore the hardware softkeys?

5) The widgets are so small, that they are next to useless. Four emails? Four tasks? A do better by keeping Pocket Breeze on the today.

EDIT: Starting Opera Mobile crashes it reliably

EDIT 2: The task manager is nice

EDIT 3: Is it possible to define a custom city? Prague is not there.

EDIT 4: Why would I want to add nine applets when there are only five available?

EDIT 5: The slideshow is nice, but perfectly useless.

And the battery and signal strength meters are almost unreadable how small they are.

Hi all,

About Unicode: only languages compatible with the ASCII character set can be rendered at this stage in Home 2. This will be expanded in the future to include languages requiring Unicode when GDI rendering is incorporated into the Revolution Engine™.

About Weather and Cities :

For the moment, the only way to add a city is to edit Cities.xml file.

More informations will be delivered on Pointui forums

:cool:

1st impressions:

* 500KB download, nice :D

* Runs a bit slowly on my Hermes (no real surprise there)

* I can't find the Home2 options anywhere?

* Some of the scrolling is reversed, some is kinetic, some isn't.

* Looks cool tho :D

Just downloaded to my TP with juggalos and it seems to be working great.

Very smooth and definitely gets points for sexiness factor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Darkchaser:
A bug/oversight? Running on Hermes, and Settings categories are all messed up. Almost all settings are in "Personal", with only Cert and Power in "System" and 4 menu items in "Connections"

Ditto on the tiny battery/signal meters. The battery looks like half empty but I have a fully charged device.

- very smooth and fast : regarding time response to the finger, feels like an iPhone ;-)

- launcher is buggy (but eh it's a beta version ...)

- looks very promising (but memory usage needs to be lowered as it will be impossible to launch prog like IGo8 ...)

Is there a way to customize that?

Thanx. ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robotphood:
I have plenty of memory to spare on my Diamond (same amount free w/ TF3D) but the battery is definitely taking a hit. Yesterday mine lasted about 50-60% of what I get from TF3D. This equates to a bit over half a day versus almost a whole day of low usage. With heavy usage I'd be afraid of not making it home every day with a working phone :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] churka:
Can anyone be SUPER AWESOME and help me out?

I'm having trouble with adding my own city it keeps crashing my PointUI.

Can some create xml script for Shawnee, KS 66216????????????

THANKS!!!!!

Also, is there a way to have a Google Sports ticker instead of Google news????

Again, THANKS in advance!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] electrikjesus:
this should help

in the cities xml you can scroll down and just replace the chicago. it starts out as 60xxx just replace the two lines numbers with your zip code and switch the metric=1 to metric=0

Hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] churka:
I got the weather working!

What about Google Sports instead of Google News?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] artesea:
Just replace the RSS url inside of <newsurl></newsurl> tags for your city with whatever you want.

eg

<newsurl>http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&topic=s&output=rss</newsurl>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
Meanwhile I know. Ddi some experiments last night with it. Wrote a whole article for a dutch website, so. Added the bigclock applets, NL translations and so. Read the PointUI forum.Nice but not yet ready for everyday use. Battery is draining to fast too.We just wait.Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nickytheshaft:
yep, just tried it and came back to TF3D...

IMO it doesnt bring anything more.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FloatingFatMan:
Well, aside from the whole scripting engine, of course.

Though I guess you could write your own plugins for TF3D.

Oh wait... No you can't... :p

Can anyone please help? every time after a soft-reset pointui attempts to connect to gprs, since I have t-zones it does not work so it crashes. Is there any solution for this?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robjhellis:
This is a major step forward for the Advantage x_7510

Hi Guys,

This is a major step up for us Athena x_7510 owners as we have no such luxuries as TF3D and multipe alternate ROM's to choose from. Of course we have no scroll wheels and very few buttons as well, so when scrolling through selections for apps for example, using TouchFLO the interface literally "runs away with itself", scrolling way too fast to be comfortable. Has anyone else noticed that and if so worked out how to slow it down? Is that an issue in this Beta version, or is it more likely related to my device?

Thanks

Same thing happened to me i dont know why, i just disabled Today and Weather and use the BigClock applet

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jadephyre:
still no easy way to add new Cities to the Weather Applet and the Contact List still looks wierd :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pietrucci:
Probably a very dumb question: how do I show the weather???

No matter how often I refresh the world applet, no matter which city I pick, no weather showing... I see the date, the time and the place, but no weather. Also no weather in the Today applet.

What am I doing wrong???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dickenz:
Turn off PointUI... Soft-reset... Turn on 3G connection via CommManager then open browser - allow it to make the data connection then close browser.

Start PointUI again and it should update with this now 'open connection'. I had this issue and nothing worked until I opened a connection first with the above procedure - Now it is as if PointUI has remembered where my connection 'is' and is using it each time now.

finally!:D

it works very good on my i780;)

now i'm waiting a lighter version for less use of memory ram :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jadephyre:
why ?

I'm used to choosing my City from a Menu, and I want that functionality back.

I know that i'm going to piss off a few people here, but when I look back at Home v1, I can't understand why they eradicated the functionality of choosing your City from a Menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
From reading, that's just an applet, correct? Then it's up to the applet developer, not the PointUI guys, to give you what you want
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bronko_1993:
any chance to make digital clock in windows taskbar turned to a digital battery indicator?

and also the htc task manager to run?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] earthfrost:
yes i want to use htc task manager as well :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ITNV:
I'm sure it won't be long before someone compiles a cities.xml file with every major and minor city in the US included. Personally, I would rather not sort through all those cities just to pick mine so it was worth it to me to spend the three minutes adding it to the file. Everyone has their own preference, though, and I'm sure enough people feel the same way you do that you won't have to wait long for the exhaustive list.

That's one thing I really like about PointUI vs. TF3d: you can make quick and easy customization without having to hack a bunch of cryptic manila files!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pietrucci:
Anyone knows how to pick my default city? Now the weather applet always takes the first city in de cities.xml list, so when I place my own city at first position it takes this.

But is that the only way or is there another to do this???

And also it rarely updates my weather and news..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slyydrr:
So, I had trouble w/ this, aside from the fact that it's RAM hungry. The actual interface itself runs pretty smoothly, but I had absolutely no luck getting additional applets to load. I dropped them in the AppletRibbons folder (and made sure that they were only one folder deep) yet no luck.

It seems like a nice shell, I just wish I could get it to work properly. Maybe I'll try re-installing it again later on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] njakobs:
When the weather or today applet is visable. Click on it. It should take you to a screen that allows you to pick your city (from those listed in xml file) and also pick the update interval you want.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] njakobs:
Once you have added the applet to the folder structure. You need to select it within Pointui home by clicking on applet ribbon. Should bring up a grid of active applets. You can then click on one of the empty slots to add the applet that you want.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slyydrr:
Excellent thanks, now I can actually give this a whirl. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] speedytr:
lack of unicode is a down for this great app. Where are you developers get it done quickly...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Srem:
not suitable for everyday use yet (for me), but not far off.

the main problem is battery life, hopefully they can figure out the battery drain because this looks like building a good community (and software!)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Djay64:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MBSko:
* Click on Start

* Click Settings

* Click Personal Tab if not currently selected.

* Click on Today icon

* Select Pointui Home 2

* Click OK

Pointui Home 2 will then launch.

Do the reverse to unload Pointui Home 2.

I`ve tried, but it isn`t working :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Djay64:
Yep same with mine.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] propagandax:
Mine works fine now but I was having problems with it. I think its linked to either activesync or weather updating. When i tried to add my city to the xml weather file it kept crashing and would never run again. I reinstalled and it works fine. I found the weather works if you modify the existing code, say change Chicago to St Louis, change the zip code. I was trying to add new code to make it happen before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robotphood:
There is a 5 day weather applet that is much better than the default one. It allows you to search and add your city without messing with the XML file. You can also add up to 5(?) cities to browse through. Check their forums.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
Then go to the folder you installed to and tap on the Home2.exe file. This has helped other people.

Remember that this is still a beta and they are working on the bugs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ancola66:
Yes. Because there pointui management contacts. That list must have unicode
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robotphood:
Not sure if they will "figure" anything out since it doesn't seem to be a big issue. Some people actually report better battery life than TF3D. I'm seeing my battery life almost halved coming from TF3D on a Touch Diamond. How about you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MBSko:
In this situation my pda shows error:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Djay64:
oh thank god to blazingwolf.....

Basically, the only problem is knowing if this software works on pda's (non phones)

When you tap on the home2.exe it comes up 'home2' cannot be opened. either it's not signed with a trusted certificate etc.........
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctouch444:
i need help installing this program

after u install the file, where can i find the application

help please
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sracercelica:
Its not an application, its a today screen plugin. After installing, go to settings->personal->Today->Items: Uncheck all items and check Home2 (or something like that).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Djay64:
what device are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
I'm sensing a bit of sarcasm here. :rolleyes:

Anyways, several non phone devices have it working but others do not. I remember seeing a thread on the Pointui forums that got it working on at least one iPaq. You might try a little searching over there to see if you can find the answer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blazingwolf:
Your right but it is not working like that on all devices so at times treating it like an application has worked. Also, if it is not installed in main memory then it will not install as a today plugin.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cal-El:
Does anyone here know why I am not able to access the PointUI website? All I get is a prompting to install wordpress! ????????????? :eek:

Whats that all about?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jadephyre:
I dunno, just checked and happens to me too...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Djay64:
haha

Hahaha yes, but not against you... you've saved me a million times...... xda guru if you ask me :D

Anyway, thanx and i'll have a look. I'm guessing not much can be done if not many non phone devices have it working..... I doubt they did anything differently other then install it to the device, where it works. hmm.... I might be unlucky with this one i'm sensing.. unless they create one for non phones... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MDtouchDiamond:
so when I first installed home 2 on my diamond it worked fine, pretty snappy. Now when I open home 2, the rss hub loading icon comes on, only it stops spinning, and basically just crashes, and phone requires a soft reset. anyone else experiece this?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MasterOfDesasters:
Lots of people are working on that. But with the given manuals and the limitation of the free version don't expect that much. For a lot of features we have to wait for the pro version. I think a real good dialer and won't come with the free version. but I use the WM ones anyway and I haven't seen one in TF3D.:confused:

I tried to combine some status meters and CommMgr functionality in an applet. Maybe it is worth a try...
