Hello,

I'm following the beta's off the release from Mobillityflow Touch-Shell.

More info: http://www.touch-shell.com/beta

I'm testing this all on my HTC Kaiser (Tytn II) with WM 6.1.

It has a slide-out keyboard, so that explains the screenshots (portrait & landscape)

They release the one beta after the other but don't update what has been changed.

I posted in an other post a review how i thinked about the program with screenshots and they liked my review:

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=412823).

So i got a free copy!:D

Because off that i want to follow the beta's more. I started this new post so i can manage the first posts and it's easier to follow the updates for you guys.

For now there are my older reviews in the #2, #3 & #4 post, please tell me what i could test and what you want to see changed in the program (the developers will read it to!)

If there are enough people enjoying, giving feedback, etc. I'll update this post more and more.

It's a bit messy for now

Ow, don't forget to fill in the poll!:)

Tested on 2009-01-22 Version 0.0.2.28 beta

Today i tought again about this program and installed the new beta.

They don't say what the diffirent is, they just uploaded it.

2009-01-22 Version 0.0.2.28 beta:

Changes I notifced:

It corrected displayed now all the tabs when switching from portrait tot landscape (unlike in earlier versions, see post #22). I do this by sliding out my keyboard on my Kaiser.

BUT when removing to much tabs, it shows something off the last page (see what I marked red in screenshot 7 & 8)

- The music tab seems to function, i miss the buttons repeat and shuffle, but that's all. First time you press play or something else on the page it will load Windows Media Player.

- Everything seems to work smoother (switching to pages, clock animation, weather animation, etc...).

Touch Shell uses 3.3 MB memory on my Kaiser without Windows Media Player playing. With Windows Media Player it uses 3.5 MB

Everything was slowing down when playing music, but i noticed that Windows Media Playser used 33.6 MB (!), so i killed it and everything worked normal again.

I will test this more (I don't think this has anything to do with Touch-Shell).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigchrizzieboy:
Older beta test 1/2

1/2

I used many different Today Shells (spb, m2d, m3d, ultimatelaunch, touch-commander, etc.)

Touch-commander was great, but was to simple for me.

What I think is about Touch-Shell (tested it with M2d shutted down):

- It's a program, not a plugin.

- Nice lay-out on my Tytn II (320x240)

BUT when i turn it to landscape by sliding my keyboard out (240x320) sadly enough it doesn't re-allign.

Screenshots:

- The Weather page looks great, many chooses (accuweather & gismeteo) and great graphics.

--- Continued at next post (i may only post 4 images) ---
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigchrizzieboy:
older beta test 2/2

2/2

- The launcher and contact page are both the same (you can add contacts and programs whatever you want). Disadvantage: one click call, so no link to the contact to choose call or sms, but 1 click calling.

- Music page is just a link to Windows Media player, nothing more!

I was playing music in the background, but you can't see it in the screenshot.

So I think (and hope) it's developing. Support for coreplayer, TCMP, etc.?

- The plugin page, is just 1 page where you can add plugins (hope there will come more support. Like plugins below the clock or something).

- The lowest "menu" where you can choose wich page you wanna go isn't as great as m2d but works fast.

- Choose to close pages you don't use (see plugin page, there i've left the close button)

- Choose the start page (after booting, wake-up)

- Much options if you compare it with m2d: Very short most off the options (hope it will be more)

-Load on Windows start

-Home page: 12/24 hours clock, blinking every 1-5 seconds on or off. Date format (dddd dd MMMM yyy for exapmle)

-Weather page: choose all the citys from AccuWeather or GisMeteo. Units. Connection, choose wich one to use, or default. Auto update interval, show or don't show connection status balloon.

-Plugins page: wich plugins and move them up and down

-Choose wich page is the start page and when to display it (device wakup, device idle for...)

-Switch page visual effect: Horizontal Slide, Page Turn, Rotation and choose a background color

I think it will be a great program, i've played a couple of hours with it.

It is to much beta to say anything really good or really bad about it.

Hope you enjoyed my review (feedback is welcome...)

You can ask questions, the program will stay a couple off days (15?) on my phone .

does it support square screen?

I have installed Touch Shell on my Wizard and is working fine. But it needs to be activated. Please let me know the activation key...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigchrizzieboy:
It should support it. Not sure about it.

If you could test it and report it in this threat it will be great :)

Omnia (WVGA) is not supported as i readed it from 2 "testers".

:eek: man you're on the wrong site...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robi_90:
works with vga?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigchrizzieboy:
I´ve copied some post from the original post:

BUT, that was before the newer betas come out.

Before it doesn't reallign on my Kaiser (from portrait to landscape), now it does. That does mean that the application probaly is "streched" to the screen where it was before just 240x320 and nothing else.

The best thing you could do is test, make screenshots and post it back here:cool:

Answer is short: probaly it does, not sure, test it yourself please.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] garsim:
thank you :(

i'm waiting for a new release :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OceanSpray:
Touch-Shell v0.0.2.46 is out still not fix the animate weather on HTC Touch and little slow on respond.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mchapman007:
I was a big fan of Touch Commander and made many skins for it. Now since getting a Fuze and having TF3D, Touch Shell seems too far behind and is no comparison. It may have taken too long to get Touch Shell going and people might have moved on. (Just my opinion with no facts to back it up)

With the popularity of the Touch Pro / Fuze / Diamond / Touch HD, all with TF3D included, can TS compete? I'll still support them and will most likely purchase when there is a full VGA release and crank out some skins..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WMguy:
VGA has been supported for weeks now ( not sure about official though). I used it on my Diamond but it's still not quite up to speed and is still a little buggy so I again uninstalled it.

Also, TS CAN compete in one way to TF3D. I offers something that TF3D does not: a complete Today Plugin tab within the shell that exactly mimics the traditional Today screen. That one feature sets it apart from any other shell I've used.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] speedepl:
Yes, it is :).

But You should to replace original "Skin_landscape.xml" with modiffied by me.

On my i780 works fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jamolah:
As the title states does the Diamond have the CPU, memory and technology to run Windows Mobile 7?

I mean a 528MHz CPU is pretty fast.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Who knows?

Seeing as nobody really knows what WinMo7 will include (software or hardware), it's difficult to answer that one. If multi-touch is more than just a rumour, then the answer is 'no', as the Diamond has a resistive screen, not capacitive, which is needed for multi-touch.

Also, HTC are talking about using different processors (nVidia I think?)... any change in hardware, makes it even less likely that we'll be able to run the OS on our current devices.

Personally, I would be pretty pissed at Microsoft if todays' devices have the hardware to run 'tomorrows' OS. What I want is a giant leap forward, not a small step! But, I am talking about Microsoft, so my expectations are low! :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mrbkkt1:
yeah, microsoft is always a step behind in keeping technology and software in sync. usually the software lags behind the hardware, and it always seems like they use the processors to near capacity anyway when they do develop something, to make up for not having it before...

i.e., microsoft voice command, which came out way after nokia did theirs, and not as good either, etc.

I"m guessing that winmo 7 will use almost the maximum capacity of whatever device comes out at that time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jamolah:
Yah I guess when you put it that way, it makes sense. I probably won't want WM7 to run on my diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tickmaster:
Well WM7 on today's hardware is maybe called WinMo 6.5

This would be a great marketing if MS will use WM7 skin in WM6.5 but almost everything will be the same as 6.1.

So users with today's hardware will get new today screen.

And WM7 will get new HW.

Seems simple.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MrVarioII:
Previously the devices have had the power for upgrade.

My blueangel originally ran WM2003, It's been upgraded to WM5, WM6 and finally WM6.1....

So the optimism for the huge leap forward thing is somewhat lacking in my part. If my old blue angel can happily keep pace with the same software my diamond is running.

I'm not sure how MS will manage with multitouch.....It was on the news today that apple have finally been granted a patent on it and that they are about to start sueing other devices which are using it.....

Might sadly mean no multitouch for PPC...but we'll see.

hi there,

i am using a free push email service from mail2web.com.

lets say i send someone an email from my gmail account on my computer...

the person gets it and replies...

i get the email on my computer and on my phone...

when i want to reply though, i only have the option of replying to ALL?!

the phone then sends the email to me and the person i am replying too?

not only is it annoying to get your own mail all the time, the receiver of my mail is getting the mail2web email address and not mine?!

do i make sense? i hope i explained it correctly?

thanks

Assuming you are using ActiveSync - there is an advanced section in the email sync settings that allows you to enter your email address. I have done this and the 'Reply All' does not include my own email address.

Open ActiveSync

Click Menu>Options>Select Email>Settings>Advanced - then enter your email address...See if that works

[Touch HD General] lalogt83:
Hi I would like you to help me with my network settings.

I'm from Mexico city and I bought a HTC Blackstone few days ago. First of all let me tell you that in my country we don't have a provider for HTC phones, we just have some of them but the old ones. So I bough my Blackstone from a US online-store.

I did Hard SPL on my phone and installed Laurentius26 "L26_THDV5" ROM. After that I took some time to configure the network settings from my country and everything was ok. But my problem is that my Blackstone is not working on 3G mode, it's using EDGE. Actually I don't know how far the differences are, but I can feel that it's slower with Youtube or Internet than my previous phone (a Nokia N75). I don't know if I changed something with the new ROM or if there is some way to fix it and work on 3G mode because actually I'm paying that service with my provider (Telcel).

Please, could someone help me with it?
[Touch HD General] JR_de:
The Nokia N75 supports the 850MHz / 1900MHz 3G bands.

The HTC Touch HD supports the 900MHz / 2100MHz 3G bands.

Depending on your provider you will not have 3G at all.

Hi everyone,

I have a big problem with my Taskbar on my Touch Pro.

It looks like this:

How you can see in the top right, the are two icons missing.

The sound-icon and the battery-icon.

How this could happen:

I started the Emulator "scummvm" to play "the day of the tentacle". Everything was fine. But after I closed the Emulator and started it again there come an error:"error in config Line 4" or something like that. I couldn't close the error so I did a soft reset. After the reset there was this taskbar-bug. It's also in landscapemode. I also did another soft reset and started and closed other programs but nothing had change anything.

I don't want to do a hard reset so I hope you could help me. Thanks =)

My Phone:

HTC Touch Pro

ROM: 1.90.407.4 GER

Didn't work

I've installed and launched tweek how you said, but it didn't work.

The option 5.1 was allready on default, so i switched to hide and again to default, but this also didn't work...

It seems like I have to make a hard reset :'(

If anyone knows something, please tellme...

BTW: thanks for your answer =)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] da_jojo:
tried uninstalling the game ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hammellose2:
Yes and no

I didn't install the game. It was just an .exe.

But I allready deleted the files from this programm.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hammellose2:
I also think that the icons are still there, but they are moved to the right.

And when I click on the black "whole" left from the taskmanager, the soundsettings are displayed.

It seems like the whole taskbar was moved to the right...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] hammellose2:
Does someone maybe have a programm to reset the Taskbar?

Like a restart only for the taskbar xD

Hi all,

The touch screen on my Kaiser has stopped responding to any inputs. It looks like the main board may be at fault as I have replaced the complete screen and the fault is still there.

I can use the phone for nearly all functions so far with the d pad, I have been searching for a cab with a mouse mode or a rom with mouse mode included but so far have found none. Does such a cab exist for the kaiser? or is it not supported with this hardware.

Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WillardZ:
You could try MyMobiler. It puts the screen on your PC. Of course, you must be connected via ActiveSync.

Hope that helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Here's a program called "Fake Cursor" that lets you use the dpad as a cursor, and is configurable. It's freeware, I got it a long time ago from a Japanese site after a long time searching. I have not tried it on wm 6.1, but I think it will work. I eventually gave up on it because the dpad's original function was more practical for me, but you can try it. Just install the .cab for ARM processors. Good luck with it,

Dave

And P.S., the README file has always been like that, it's not corrupted or anything.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ukemaxxer:
Thanks Dave, you are a star.

That program works a treat. Does exactly what I needed. I didn't want to pay for a new ribbon cable or worse main board in case they didn't fix the fault.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MrTek:
This is very strange...

I had flashed to the WM6.5 beta4, and had problems with it, so I then flashed to the Reloaded R4 1.4b1. I then noticed the next day when I received a call I could not hear the conversation through the ear piece.

I then made a call and I could not hear through the earpiece, but if I turned on Speaker phone, I could hear through the speaker phone. I rebooted a few times, changed volume settings, and I could sometimes hear through the earpiece. There seems to be no correlation to the activity and it working, but I know the speaker works.

I figured it was a problem with RR4 since it is beta, so I went back to 1.3.0 and problem still persisted. I then tried DCD 4.1, and the problem still exists.

Being frustrated, I updated the RADIO rom to 3.42.50 from 3.42.40. No luck. I then went back to 3.42.40 and still no luck.

I tried loading the audiopara.cab and it seemed to work for one call but then stopped the next.

I am using the latest DCD Carrier settings for VZW.

I'm pulling my hair out, and I'm wondering if anyone has a resolution for this?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MrTek:
It appears to be a hardware issue, and an FRU is in the mail. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GeLopez:
exact same thing happened to me two daya after going from stock to bitserve 1.3.2 on my second xv6800. im not blaming anything or anyone. i want to add that using the speaker phone worked and using bluetooth worked but phone ear speaker wouldn't. glad i have full warranty on the phone. getting replacement tomorrow 2/4/09
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
Did either one of you try a hard reset and going back to the stock ROM? Is going back to the stock ROM even possible on the MR2?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MrTek:
Bitserve,

before I brought it into VZW, I used the Titan Relocker to go back to SPL 2.06, then I used MR2 to update.

Speaker problem still persisted...

Could it be something that came along that is only modifiable from QPST like the GPS assist IP settings? This would mean the flashes wouldn't have affected it to fix it?

My old phone goes back tomo, so let me know if you want me to try anything :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
I don't know if you realize this, but flashing doesn't do a hard reset. I'd recommend doing a hard reset after flashing back to MR2 to see if the problem remains. I know nothing about verizon and their wacky ROMs. If you had a Sprint phone, I might have some ideas. Sorry.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] MrTek:
I'm curious now...

What is different about the "reset" after flashing vs initiating a Hard Reset? I've done both, numerous times, and they all seem to leave it in a pristine state after the first load up.

I will try and force a hard reset, but I'm not sure how it differs...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GeLopez:
i flashed it back to stock because i was going to take it back to verizon(still under warranty) checked it with the stock rom i forget version # sorry (2.09 i think) but the radio was something like 1.30 and still did NOT work, ear speaker was "muted".

ps i never did mr1 or mr2 went from new(stock) to dcd 3.2.6 then 1.3.1 reloaded then back to verizon :(
