[Wing, P4350 ROM development] elazullizard:
All in all, a nice ROM, there's just the problem of it being nearly stock. Many of the nice things that make WinMo a joy to use (nice SIPs, finger-friendly enhancements, task managers) aren't there. Of course, this is just an alpha build, so I'm sure all of the improvements are on the way! (also, keeping voice command is a nice touch, especially since I got a new headset)

Screenshots:
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Finger-friendly enhancements - It's PointUI!! How more friendly could you get!! And then the soft menu's are a little larger than stock. Honestly, tell me what can be improved, and I'll work on it.

Task Manager - PointUI IS a task manager. From the home screen, click on Applications and then on Currently Running. There you can go into a running program and then close it (by tapping on the Start Menu while in the app, and then clicking Force Close. How would you like that improved? (I can't change anything inside PointUI, remember)

SIP (On-Screen Keyboard) - Yea, I know. It's the default WinMo one. I'll change it sometime, possibly. Recommend a keyboard for me to cook in, then.

Voice Command - I figured I'd keep that in, especially since that dam iPhone has it (and acted like they invented it, like they do with everything).

But it seems like you're liking it so far!! V 1.5 will be coming up soon, with more complete theming. V 2.0 might be more of a full release. Tell me what you think!

Just looked at your screenshots...You're not supposed to even use the old Today Screen!! The point is that it's a PointUI ROM! That's why I did nothing with the Start Menu's size, because you will never touch the Start Menu. But yea, I like that keyboard. Give me a link or name to the keyboard.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] djbutcher:
Love your site ace...wondering whats the free ram and storage on your new rom
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
About 22 MB Free RAM, and about 37 MB free Storage Space upon booting it up (with PointUI running).

After using the phone for a few hours (running Internet Explorer, etc), I closed all of the apps, and RAM was at about 18 MB. So, it holds up pretty well!

I'm not writing up everything about this ROM yet, since it's ever changing. Expect that storage space to increase as versions go.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] daniel_costa_rj:
And a ROM with SPB MOBILE SHEL 3.01, LIKE SONY ERICSON SXPERIA. The User flash if have a key bought or not.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Yea, I could cook in the Trial version, so that it's legal still. But for now, I'm making the PointROM real perfect.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] guntcent:
yea release it bro it freeze once tho
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
PointUI freezes, right? That's not really "frozen", it's a bug in PointUI. When trying to scroll through a list (usually the Applications list), scrolling freezes, and no touches on the screen are registered. But, it still works by using your D-Pad. So, go up to the Return arrow with your D-Pad, and then your touchscreen will be working again.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] guntcent:
alrighty bro then yea post ur new rom man with the PIM backup the contact and opera mini man thats all it need to b a perfect rom man and if u have a LZX it would b awsome i have an idea u should make a wm 6.5 rite n have the pointui v1.5 overlapping it instead of using da default wm 6.5 cuz it takes lots of ram n pointui doesnt
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Didn't realize that PIM Backup was removed. I'll try to include it, maybe in v 2.0

Opera Mini will be included in v 2.0 also.

V 1.5 is almost done. It includes just about complete skinning, some other tweaks, etc. I can post a full changes log when I upload it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] guntcent:
alright man thx bro u and ivan da best rom cooker bro. i wanna learned how but its too hard :( well how u like my idea ace
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Which idea? LZX? or the PIM Backup? or what? Sorry, but I lost what you are talking about.

And I'm uploading v 1.5!! Change log will be written up, too.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
PointROM v 1.5 is UP! Try it out! Has some improvements, as you can see in the Change Log...

-1.5-

Removed CommManager (PointUI has one).

Created a PointUI spash screen.

Themed Windows Mobile to match PointUI more.

Themed almost all of the dialer to match PointUI.

Removed Sample Pictures.

Replaced the Live Search icon in Internet Explorer with the Bing icon.

Completely themed the default Call Log inside the default WinMo dialer to match PointUI.

And there's probably some more changes, too. I try to list out every little thing that I do in a .txt file, so it's very thorough.

Screenshots will be up on v 2.0, lets say. I'm shooting for making v 2.0 a non-pre-release.

DOWNLOAD v 1.5 --- LZX Version LZX Version must be flashed through storage card.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] guntcent:
well basically i want a rom with all finger friendly dis rom is close da only thing i want on dis rom is that the file exploror to b like in justhome v19 man
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Eh, the ROM would have to be made on Windows Mobile 6.5, then. WM6.5 has finger friendly tweaks for soft menus and all. I can try to space out the menus more, but it won't be as perfect as WM6.5.

And I'm uploading/testing the LZX version now...
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
Yo! Ace can we get some good lookin screenies? :D
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
LZX Version of PointROM v 1.5 (LZX MUST be flashed through Storage Card, and you must be HardSPLed, of course!!!)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
eh, fineeee. I said screenshots would come in v 2.0, but whatever...

The first boot screen............................And the Today Screen (which you won't see much, due to PointUI)

The rest is basically the PointUI interface, which we all know.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] guntcent:
yea can u spaced it out bro i would appreciate it ace **** yea lzx version thx man
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
Ah i was really asking for tht splash(even tho i forgot to mention) which is very sexy. :D
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
I'm gonna pimp out the splash screen some more, probably. It's a little plain with the white background. But if you like it, I can leave it as is, less work for me!

STATUS---

I just found a Windows Mobile 6.1 Build 21805, which is freakin new!!! Ivan's ROM's are running on Build 21051, so as you can see, there's a huge difference in how new it is. I'm gonna try to port that over to this PointROM, so that we can enjoy the freshest from Microsoft while keeping the awesome PointUI interface! And if I succeed, then that means I probably have the skills to make a WM6.5 ROM, which will be next on my list.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
ah yeah i saw a post but tht new build but didnt read it, plus wht else do u want to add to tht splash...maybe make it 3-D and some eye-popin colors.

also why are people head over heels for such an unstable OS like Wm6.5. but thts just my opinion ill wait for the release and a more stable version:D
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Lol, people do go crazy over 6.5, but it is pretty good.

And about the splash screen, yea I'm thinking about putting a PointUI logo behind it. And then if I can make it animated, I would just love myself. But lemme think about the more important stuff first...functionality.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] nikmel420:
personaly id like if you could spend your time geting the weather to work then puting a pointui oem in a kitchen that just came out sorta at least make your own slpash screen. i cant tie my shoes but i can do that. of course im bitter and just got home from the bar and you did me wrong so maybe ill see more then that one thing in the morning if so ill appoligize:D:D:D:D
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Mmmmm, weather won't ever work, I believe. I could try to hack into the PointUI files, and edit the registry that's hidden there, but PointUI is REALLY restrictive about their program. It might be impossible to get it to work.

Why the weather is broken is because when the makers of PointUI ditched the 1.51a version to create the v2 version, they must have removed the servers or something that would manage the weather. If I can make them re-direct to something else, then it might just work.

and Hahahah, yea, I was thinking you're the guy that I have to read your posts two times through, LOL. No, you haven't even came close to insulting me yet!!! I too agree that functionality is more important that form, as I said just above your post.

I'll try to "hack" the weather tomorrow, I think. If I don't write about it tomorrow, please remind me, I might forget. I'm doing wayy too many projects at once.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
so it wasnt me who u had to double read the same post.

Why dont u ask Ivan about animating the Splash...also i bet there's some developer that can help with PointUI problems.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Eh, you too have some bad grammer...

You're missing a few letters there. Whatever, grammer wars can end now!! (haha, i'm soooo gonna leave that spelled as such. I feel smart)

Idk about getting help with the PointUI weather. You could search/ask around if you've got time. No one is really supporting the original PointUI, so it might be tough.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] nikmel420:
no i just want u to go look at how u quoted me in ivens kitchen thread ive got over it now and should erase it because i do like what you did with this but ive look for days strait not to say something like u put in your post in the superkitchen thread so yea i got upset. i do like your work.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Hah, okay, well is this the post you're talking about? (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4216335&postcount=70)

I wasn't insulting you, if you read it again. You were asking Ivan if anyone still asks Ivan "How to flash through SD". Then I responded saying how I can still answer those, and unlike how Ivan usually answers them, I write up how to do it. Ivan has lately been just writing "search for it, there's tons of threads with the same question". I wasn't saying ANYTHING about you.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
lets just say its late rite now its 1:39am and im not really in the mood to type PERFECTLY like i never do....im lazy when it comes to typing but if you want i can somehow do better in the grammer just because is is ace (no homo)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Heh, it's late out over here too. This conversation is quite crazy. I'm trying to cook and teach a grammar lesson at the same time!! Ahh!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
Yo Teach can I have a cup of Coffee?

I promise i wont be late for the next lesson
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Heh, well I'll give you a Red Bull like you asked for on the other thread.

Okay. We're done. Enough of this, especially carying over a conversation from one thread to another, and then back.

STATUS---

Trying to cook in a better keyboard to the ROM.

Not working on that 21805 build, because, stupid me, I thought it was a WM6.1 ROM. Scrapped that. Not gonna do 6.5 just yet.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
Eh!? but we just started this...We need a Herald Social group:D
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Hah, start a thread then.

Found the PIMBackup program from the XPERIA ROM, it'll be cooked into version 2 if all goes well.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
I use to use PIMBackup its decent and yea maybe i will but im lazy
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Well guncent requested PIMBackup, I think.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
what about microsoft recite instead of task (i dont think thats possible lol)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Ohh yea, I remember that program. I bet I could remove Tasks, but that would more likely replace Notes. Idk, Notes has better things about it too, and then everyone's old notes wouldn't open anymore.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
But wouldnt Microsoft Recite replace the purpose of both Task and Notes
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
Oh how about including one of those opera builds that support Flash if you have the space for it
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I haven't seen a 6.1 21805 (only the wm6.5 218xx series.) I thought they stopped making 6.1 at 21051. I'll have to research that.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Usually, after a few months, you'll start feeling the same way. (It took me years to feel that way, but that's because I felt bad. :p )

But I don't mind answering questions when it comes to COOKING ROMs since those answers are much much much harder to find.

I've personally taught a few cooks across a few devices.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
And you're teaching me, basically.

But yea, I posted above about that 21805 build, saying, stupid me, that's WM6.5!!

And no, I won't include Opera Moble with Flash. I don't think that even exists yet. If it did, it would destroy our phones.

And Microsoft Recite could replace Notes and Tasks, but think about this...I have lots of notes that I store on my storage card. If there's no Notes program, then nothing can read them! Recite probably uses a whole different format, so yea, it'd be tricky for users.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
And oh yea, the whole reason why I posted above, I was gonna say something else...

Creating a new txt message seems to be broken. Idk why. Can anyone else create a new txt message? I've usually just responded to texts......

Wait....scratch all of that...idk, I think I am running a new test build that I made, which I was trying out some crazy stuff in...yea.

But, just to be sure, can all of you create a new txt message just fine? (Applications -> New -> Text Message)

Nvm, everyone. It's all good. I just broke something while making a newer build, but I fixed it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
Haha opera 9.5 w/ Adobe Flash Plug-in 3.1 is a nice combo you can find it in the General Sub-Forum its not a beta build :D
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
Yo, Ace! I was talking about something like this...check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3229267 :)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
U know, Opera Mobile 9.7 was released already, which is newer.

And putting flash on our phone WILL KILL it. Opera Mobile barely runs without flash.

I could cook in Skyfire, which has full flash, and is faster.

STATUS---

Working on cooking in the Diamond keyboad cooked into the ROM. I'm not gonna cook in that keyboard after all. If you want it, you can install it yourself.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
Haha but 9.7 isnt so stable and flash hasnt killedd my phone...and skyfire for some reason has been in some sort of choppy quality since it went to V1 even under Wifi
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Well I'll try out Opera 9.5 with flash sometime then.

But the thing is, Opera 9.5 without flash, it always runs out of memory (RAM). Imagine how many memory errors it will get with flash!!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Diagrax:
Never got errors
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] WhatzinyourphonE:
hey i have the pointui editor, it lets u customize what kind of lock application to use. What email account you want downloaded... Stuff like that. I could upload it if you want. And this was the best pointui. Nice to see someone cookin for the wing. besides ivan whos all whore out. Ill be cookin next, mostly 6.5 roms.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
I'll be cooking 6.5 ROM's sometime too.

Upload that PointUI editor, please!! It could be really handy for us!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] elazullizard:
ace, I'm pretty sure I remember that pointui used Accuweather's servers to download weather. However, the url format for the weather service recently went through a change. I remember that a weather titanium plugin was broken because of the change. They uploaded a cab that fixed it. If you want, I can post the cabfix. Maybe it would help you fix the weather issue in pointui.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Yep, I think it uses AccuWeather. Good point about the server changes affecting Manilla 2D, though.

Upload that CAB, it'll help me pinpoint where the weather should shoot to. Then I gotta try to get into PointUI's settings somehow. I'll work on it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Sorry that I haven't released v 2.0 yet. I'm trying to get almost everyone's requests cooked in. I'm also writing a guide on how to cook as I go. And I'm trying to LEARN how to cook as I go! Right now I'm seeing if I can get a newer version of NetCF cooked in, because I think the one that I had previously was 2.0, since some apps didn't work.

Also, can anyone find the OEM folder for the Rhodium Notification Enhancement?? If no one has it, then I'll have to make it by hand, since the tools won't work on every .CAB.

And can we get that PointUI Customizer uploaded like you said a few posts up? I'd like to see what I can do with that.

K, I got the new version of NetCF cooked in, so everyone will be able to use the XDApp once it's released! I'll start working on the other things, like weather and Notification Manager.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] elazullizard:
Weatherfix

Here's the cab that I had awhile ago. This cab is supposed to fix the twolf plugin so that it would reference the correct accuweather url after the change.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] guntcent:
hey can u make the sip keyboard color black bro it matches the pointui man can u do that man thanks man
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Yea, I was reading how to do that, I could. It should be no problem.

STATUS---

Still working on that dam PointUI weather bug. Idk if it'll ever be possible to fix.

Can someone upload that PointUI Customizer that we talked about earlier???
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] guntcent:
ohh okay man awsome bro n one more thing the whole pointui freeze n i press the red button it doesnt responded at all man. but the only way to fixed it is that i have to soft-reset man. is there anyway to fixed this man??
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Can you still navigate with your D-Pad when PointUI freezes?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] guntcent:
well it freezes everything i cant do anything all i can do is soft-reset n it happened 2 times today alredy
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Hmmm. What other programs have u installed?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
STATUS---

Still working on it, sorry that I couldn't release the v 2.0 version yet. I want that to be a very final version. I can still work on fixing bugs and some minor things later, but after v 2.0, I'm gonna work on another ROM project.

But, I got some of the requests working, I'm very close. I just gotta get the Notification Enhancement working, already. Can't get a good OEM folder for it.

Also, I can't fix the Weather. I have no clue how to edit the .cld files, and I couldn't find anything online, so there's no way I can get into the deep settings of PointUI. You guys could try searching some more about editing those files, but it's tough to find anything. I think someone knows how to edit them though, ask someone that created a theme for the original PointUI. Send them a PM, and see if they can remember! You guys do that though, if you want weather fixed.

So yea, I'll be getting out the release version tomorrow. I'll write up everything about it too, then. (actually, if we want Notification Manager themed to be blue-ish, then it might be longer, I'll see)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I have my own version of the notification enhancement. (The one cooked into JustHome and JustStableV2.) Only problem is that I'm currently at the airport.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Yea, I'd like that version then. I bet you're somewhere else, now, since you wrote in about 7 hours ago. So I'd love it if you uploaded it for me, thanks!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] WhatzinyourphonE:
Sorry, i did used to have the pointui customizer but i cant find it anymore. My bad. Ill keep looking in my files to see if i can find it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Ok, see if you can find it.

Everyone: Would you like to use the Volume Slider for navigation inside PointUI? You can use it to scroll down, but most importantly, you can flick up on it, and it'll take you back to the previous screen. Remember, it only happens in PointUI, so once you're in WinMo, you can use the volume slider like normal. So, what do you guys think? "Cool, lets keep it" or "eh, lets not"? PointUI has a volume button on it's homescreen anyways, so yea.

Scratch that, lets just not.

I'm using Windows 7 right now, so yea, you just have to disable UAC.

And lets say that was a typo. ETA is now 07 minutes! All that's left is cooking! Once cooked, I upload while flashing. It should work, but just to be sure, I flash and test myself before giving you guys the link.

And about cooking...My next project is possibly making a newer kitchen. We'll see what happens with that. Then I think I'm gonna do WM6.5. And of course write my Cooking Guide still.

No, I said that it's the 1.51a version of PointUI. We're all fans of the original interface, so yea. I guess the title of the ROM will be a little confusing though.."PointROM v 2.0". That's the version number of the ROM, not PointUI. Whatever.
