hey guys i just stumbled into a nice new(launched 1-1-08) program called Pointui it's a skin program for wm5 & wm6 phones. i am running it right now on my wing and i love the damn thing. but don't take my word for it check out what JASON CHEN from Gismondo had to say about it :http://gizmodo.com/339835/pointui-s...it-usable-best-wm-skin-app-ever?autoplay=true . btw guys i am in now way whatsoever affiliated to whoever made the program, i've learned so many things about my wing from this site that i just wanted to give everyone a heads up. again the program it totally free with absolutley no hoops to jump through.
btw the program has to be installed through activesync ( just so u know) also the link to the website it at the bottom of the review.
and here the homepage:
http://www.pointui.com/
and the .cab for installing
Very nice indeed, I used it for 3/4 days and got sick of
the non-costumizable look. I subscribed to their forum,
a LOT of people want it to be costumizable, so I
think i'll wait for the next release.
I quote from PoitUI Forum:
The Dutchman said:
-Today screen Plug-in, just can't miss batteryStatus, quicklaunch and WLM.
-Graphic costomizer of course
-Inversing the up/down sliding
-At the right top, a CLOSE button when running an app
-When pressing e.g. WiFi in top, then activating it.
-Removal of Operator name
-when one want's to go to programs-->games (or whatever secondary
or third or fourth folder) not having to press (select) it, but slide on it to
the left to go to its content
But after all, KUDO'S 8)

There is one problem for all these today-good-lokking-interface-programms = they are working with windows apps.
but like pointui - all is finally redirected to the crappy winmobile software - when wiritng sms or anything else.
comming there, can be very nice - cube, pointui, spbmobile shell --> but at the end we stop there where we could get by
-->
pressing - start-programms-messaging

There is no .exe (and there is no cake).
To install a .cab file on your device you just copy the .cab on the device and then run the .cab.
got it

I tried this out yesterday, it's pretty neat. My only 2 complaints are a lack of task manager and it eats up A LOT of battery. I uninstalled it.
Alright quick (probably simple) question but i cant find the answer to it anywhere. Im trying to cook a Rom for a friend and i have never baked touchflo into a Rom but he wants it. I asked him if he wants the whole cube thing and he told me that he wanted to simply be able to drag his finger up or down to scroll (like the kaiser does). So now my real question is whether this is a part of touchflo or not. Either way I dont care, if i have to install the whole cube package and then disable the cube via reg edits, i can, but i would rather there just be an OEM that lets me do the scrolling. Anyone have any insight to this matter? I have quite a few different OEM packs from around the internet and i have countless OEMs of touchflo. Hope someone knows something about this. Thanks in advance, guys!

Do a forum search for "touchflo"......... The VERY FIRST hit by efrost points in HUGE RED LETTERS to what your friend wants.............................
i appreciate your help (and/or bitterness towards my question.) but lo, i have another. does anyone know where an oem can be downloaded of this touch application by efrost or should i create my own using the cab? either way works, one is just easier
I guess what i am really trying to ask is what is touch flo considered generally? is it the cube or just the scrolling? how is it defined by this community?
touchflo is a cab. cube is separate application. but u need touchflo in order to use cubes.
I have been working with TDial Designer and have had difficulties after 3.0.4 getting the dialer skin to look the same. Maybe someone else has overcome this problem and could give me some guidance. Here's what I have done.
Before, I was able to select BlueFrog dialer in TDial and have the keys skin to look like the screenshot20.jpg below (you can see the background transparent). Now with the recent DCD ROMs it looks like screenshot2.jpg thumbnail below where the keys remain black though the background is there for the process.
I have tried both the Old Vogue (Touch) and the New Vogue (BlueFrog) options in TDial and neither work. I have included the cabs for those if you want to test them on your phone.
I install the Kitchen using DCDs option for the new Vogue dialer checked (no OEMs replaced) and although it looks the same before I try to install the cab, it doesn't work like it used to.
I would be glad to replace the OEM with the one from 3.0.4, but I know DCD has been doing some upgrading to the functionality of the dialer and don't want to break some of the work that he has been doing (I like new and shiny stuff).
Thanks!
P.S. Disregard the top and bottom bars as one of them was using WisBar.
I don't use any third party dialers. If you have all the png files (for each number, function etc) you can simply copy them to \Windows.

I guess I could do that, do you copy manually or using UC?
If you use UC do you do it with XML or by copying the whole folder?
I do it via UC, but with a cab file I made. I don't use XML anymore with UC, I've cabbed everything. If you zip up all the files and post it, I'll make a cab for you.

Here ya go.
I used the TDial export to give to you, but I am not sure which you will need (old vogue or new). Let me know if this works or if you need something else.
REQUEST: If you are up to making another of your amazing wikis, I think a tutorial on how to make cabs for xml and file importing/copying (like this dialer for example) would be HIGHLY used and appreciated. I would definitely buy you some beer for that one (I may even take Boston Celtics as my new fav BB team).
Here you go.
If I have time, maybe I'll do a wiki.

That would be something that would be used across the board, and may be as widely referenced as any other out there. Plus it would be valuable for anyone with WM, not just Titans. Better that it be done by a Bostonian
Thank you very, very much. I will try to take this one apart and figure out what you did.
Did it work?

Yes, thank you so very much for making that.
With the re-release of 3.2.2 I was scrambling to get updated before I left work and just got a chance to sit down now to thank you. It works perfectly and will look at a few cab programs to figure out how you did it.
Is there a way that the phone popup reg entry could be affected by this cab? I have had that problem with my TDial dialers, and still needed to after this too. I wonder if some other cab I am installing has this key change as I assume you just copied the pictures I sent you to the windows dir. I will have to do some investigation to find where I am getting that change as DCD PM'd me and let me know that my bug was only on my side and not in his kitchen when it happened before your cab.
You are the man GC, I will buy you some beer next week when paychecks come in.
I have zero interest in Sprint Picture Mail. However, the account is sort of "hardwired" into the phone and there is no (official) way to disable it that I can find. It doesn't even show up in the list of accounts under Options in Pocket Outlook.
Does anybody know some sort of tweak to get rid of this account?
This would include...
1. Removing it from "send" options when emailing pictures (album)
2. Account chooser for Pocket Oulook
3. TF3D icon on the mail tab

I believe its an extra cab that installs after a hard reset. Try hard resetting, and stopping the customization.
If there are any Sprint cabs you want they are floating around here or ppcgeeks.

Well, that's definitely a solution, but I'd rather not have to hard reset my device. I have the settings just the way I like it now.
Does anybody know how to get rid of it after it's already installed?
just stick a peice of black tape over the portion that says picturemail on your phone...

I'd love to know how to dump this as well without a hard reset and manually adding the all the other useful cabs myself.
Thanks for posing the question, now to wait for a good answer....
Try downloading the cab from somewhere, installing it, it will say the previous version has to be removed, after it removes the previous version, hit cancel to not install the new version.
Might be worth a shot, although I don't know why you wouldn't want picture mail, it's not like you have to use it, but why remove features?

That is a good idea. I'll have to try that!
As for why, good question. I don't really know why it bothers me so much. Maybe just because I like less clutter? Maybe it's an OCD type of thing. :-D One of the first things I did was install Advanced Config and remove the sprint music/tv tabs because i didn't want to use them, even though i didn't have to use them. :-D

I'm definitely going to try that! Good idea.
As for why, I don't like the extra account when I got from my text to email accounts BUT the main reason is because it works like POO POO! I hate how it is so damn clunky in it's operation and even though I don't use it to send picmail, if I get a picmail it goes in there.
I applaud Sprint for trying but damn, try a little harder next time. I could have done without this particular crap a$$ feature.
I'm also very interested in dumping Sprint Picture Mail. Since we're limited to six accounts in Pocket Outlook, its being there keeps me from adding in another account I actually use, so it's frustrating that they would add that in by default. Tried deleting all of the registry keys, installed files etc that are done as part of the CAB installer, but it's STILL there! Haven't been able to figure out how to bypass the customization step, otherwise I'd do a HR in a heartbeat and see if skipping the CAB install would work, so still awaiting a solution to this...
i tried but sprint mail was not completely removed , i even installed the other version and it got completely installed and i could not un install it using memaid ! there should be a smarter way toget rid of this sprint B/S.
i don't think it can be removed this way.
you will need to load a custom rom without the picmail.
in the time you have wasted waiting for an easy solution you could have flashed and reloaded all of your settings.
Not everybody wants a to use a cooked ROM. You know, it really gets tiring when know-it-alls pop into threads and instead of contributing something useful just say "you should have just done x,y,z instead of doing what you actually wanted to do." It's already been established earlier in the thread that hard resetting (which running a cooked ROM requires) is not an acceptible solution. I do not appear to be alone in wanting an alternative solution. If you don't have a solution or a constructive comment, can't you just, you know, not post anything?
maan76 - Thanks for trying that method out. I've been too busy to tinker. At some point, I'm going to try scouring the registry and DLLs in \Windows\. Pocket Office is extended just like any other MS app -- through DLLs. So unless Picture Mail has been hardwired through some bizarre method or bundled together with a load of other useful features into one big unremovable DLL, I have got to think that there must be some DLL somewhere that can be unregistered somehow -- it just hasn't been discovered yet. I hope anyway! But you never know...

I echo thx2100 but will say the MAIN reasons I don't want to just run a cooked ROM right now is that the only real advantage at this time is they are light on the apps to free up ram. I come from the 6700 and 6800 and I'm in heaven with the speed and ease that the TP has when running multiple apps.
None of the new ROM's right now really dazzle me but if one comes around that is hot sh$# then I might run it.
With my stock ROM I have no surprises and only one really annoying feature which is the picmail but I can live with.
yep I totally agree thx 200,that there is no need for the cooked ROMs right now for the TP , why I am risking myself in a cooked ROM ?????????? to save RAM nop ! RAM is highhhhhhh and we have plenty of it in tp not like the mogul when the people were racing to build a ROM with higher free RAM after booting ! to save couple megabytes !, now with this strong hardware in TP , we have plenty of RAM .
the other reason which drove us before for flashing ROMs is the new applications (ex Manila for htc 6800 mogul ,u tube......etc) now we ve got the most updated versions of these software in the touch pro.
no logic reason for flashing ROMs at this moment , probably when new software will come up or super tweaks that require flashing ROMs , but definetely not now , we are still new and still learning about the Touch pro.I am seeing junior members building ROMs cause it is easy with this 288 MB RAM , I bet nobody was able to build ROMs for the Apache or the Mogul cause of the limited RAM.
we have a long way in improvement in touch pro before building ROMs.

Using MSCEInfo, I've been able to identify every registry change and file modification made by the Sprint PictureMail CAB and have undone them all to no effect. So, either some other routine is making changes related to PicMail or it's hardcoded into the ROM. Hopefully, it's not the latter...
Good luck and please let us know if you find out how to do it. I've pretty much given up and am just waiting to find a stripped down ROM for the Sprint Touch Pro that doesn't include PictureMail, Touch Guide Mobile or any of the other bloatware that Sprint decided we had to have.
Solution Removal Sprint Picture Mail
I found the solution this morning and I successfully removed the sprint picture mail and I also successfully added my yahoo mail
here what you need to do
1-install the sprint picture mail Cab
2-using resco file explorer or anything else go to windows folder
3-in resco explorer , unclick hide hidden files and unclick hilde file extensions
4-look for sprint picture mail cab , next to it you will find sprint picture mail.exe and some other files cary the same name.
5-this .exe is made by the second installation you just made not ROM related , but still you can not remove it ,for some reason.
so rename it into anything .exe , and do the same for the rest of the files including the cab , not delete them all you should be able to do so .
I did these steps exactly in that order and I opened the messages folder and I was soooo happy not seeing the picture mail account .
Good luck guys

Can you point out which specific cab you installed (was it just the one built into the TP ROM?) and which file(s) you removed to get this to work?
Also, can you confirm that this removed the Sprint PictureMail account from both the Outlook account list AND the Mail TF3D tab???

Well I seem to have completely broke my ability to get picmail so I'll hold back on any instructions. I'll do some more testing and may just have to install the freakn program again.... OR I might load up a bare bones ROM and load cab's I see fit, 1 will undoubtedly NOT make the cut.
Can anyone please make this into cab format for my tilt2? I have this over in that sub-forum but no one is responding, it doesn't get visited half as much as over here. Its the best mod i've found to fully increase all speakers even bluetooth on the rhodium/tilt2 device! I have tested and used many but this set of reg edits works the best and loudest while still keeping the quality crystal clear! Can anyone please make these edits into a simple cab install please? Thank you.
You know what funny is?
There is 351,464 threads, 4,637,131 posts, and 2,093,612 members here.
What do we see is GIGANTIC cash flow in that business(and HTC as PDA killer, etc, etc).
And noone made freeware CABMaker so far here.
All i wanted to say...this place lost all its character, it is just another phone forum now, practically.
Name it.
Cheerz,
nothin.
upd: you do not need cabs for this, imo, just make regs from these and use tc or taskmanager 3.x to import reg you need...until someone will make...cabs, or goddamn cabmaker.
upd2: before someone will ask: why i wont make cab for deeznuts instead of writing this:
i wont use stolen wincecabmanager, you do it, guys...

This sounds like SPAM, but check out the excellent CE RegEditor -- it is a nice remote reg editor that lets you view/edit/import/export your phone's registry from your PC, AND it lets you convert REG files to CAB files. It should do the trick for you.
