BAF GPS Toggle works but needs visual correction, help!? - Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps

Hi,
I have been using BAF GPS Toggle for a few weeks now and it works great.
I am also using the HTC Touch Pro (see signature) which has VGA
Resolution: 480x640
Colours: 65536
The button/icon is small and the Today space is about half the space of other Today plugins/features. Thus I need my stylus to turn it on or off. The fonts are however regular size and thus cut off halfway by the size of the plugin. This means I am sometimes guessing... is that 1 satelite or 7... I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to do a screenshot as I am travelling. I suspect the issue could be solved if the (status) icon is larger for this kind of screen size. (guessing)
(Note I believe the HTC Touch HD has XVGA and its GPS performance could certainly use this plugin as I understand from their owners)
Performance:
Great! (I am using original ROM and Radio, see signature) It picks up satelites almost immediately and this overcomes the slow searching and fixing that other programs use. I've used a few GPS programs to test them out. Both regular car GPS software like Tom Tom and my favourite Route66 as well as off-road software like GPS Tuner... It works great with all and I would advice this clean (low memory) software to any HTC Touch Pro user... (even with the small sized Today plugin as it is)
www.baf.cc developed this and says he has no time to update a fix soon. Is there another way for us (HTC Touch Pro users) to fix this ourselves?
Anyone has a fix/suggestion?
Thanks,

How to adjust today screen to fit GPS Toggle program? (or reverse)
Hi there,
(note: After install, first use gives error 21 and won't activate. After it will work as it should, HTC Touch Pro)
Listen, Robert Ferris created a great little tool. I really use it all the time. However, as you can see in my screenshot it does not go well with VGA visually. It is really difficult to open and start with a stylus as the space is very limited and often I open an adjoining program/function....
As Robert seems to be busy I think it is up to us to make the necessarey adjustments. If I want to do that,... Where do I need to make adjustments, how can I change the today line to fit the text? Where are the images, so I can increase their sizes? And would that do it?
Not only would it make a solution, but it would be fun to learn to do this myself as well.

By the way, I am leaving China for Australia and am not sure how often and how quick I will have access to internet. So if I don't reply immediately you know why.
Thanks for your advice!

Does anyone know of a GPS toggle app for WM, that is not a Today Screen item like this one, but a simple executable file?

I would like to know this as well.

try spacer
use this to stop activating other plugins
Simple blank plugin to allow spacing other plugins on the Today Screen

Different today screens?

I know this is a bit of an odd question, but is there a way to have two different today screens on the Tilt, one for when the keyboard is closed and one for when its open?
I want this because i dont like having to scroll down on the little scroll bar to access the programs below when the key board is open.

is there a program or a setting that could do this?
And to refrain from posting 2 threads, is there a way to schedule your phones ring volume? like every week day from Time A to time B its vibrate and the rest its not?
I think the answer is yes, and yes.
I'm pretty sure the phone uses different pic files when changing resolution upon opening the Tilt. I don't know of a program to set it but I bet there is one. I'm surprised no one has helped on that yet. Hang in there.
There are several programs to set the phone volume at a schedule. This is called a "phone profile". PocketZen Phone and SPB Phone Suite are two examples.
Try a search, see my sig fo link. Good luck.
If you use Resco Picture Viewer and set one picture as a wallpaper when on portrait mode, and then another when you're on landscape mode, you'll get two different wallpapers.
If anyone knows of another method I would like to know aswell.
Cheers
Ok pizzaguy wants 2 diferant screens on slide open and closed. Not only change the wallpaper (background). Well pizzaguy I hope someone can help u because then they would also be helping me.... I want the same thing. Later dude.....
I think the only solution is Wisbar Advance Desktop.
That can create a page for portrait and one for landscape.
There is a program from a company called Netwasp, Thememaker M, that allows you to make WM6 themes with a portrait and landscape Graphic that are different. I'm using it to make themes for my Tilt, and it works great

I use PhoneWeaver from http://www.SBSH.net for this, and love it. I have it set up to be on vibrate during normal business hours, quite after I put my daughter down to bed, silent at night while I'm sleeping, and loud rest of the time. Everything can be completely scheduled based on time/days. You can also set up different alerts for Phone/Mail/SMS/etc. based on these profiles as well. The only issues that I have come across is that it doesn't turn Wifi off correctly, but I think there is a work-around for this.

(I dont think this is a double post..but if its I m srry)
the original htc home is still better i guess...
Good alternative
This is good for a couple of reasons. When I began using Ultimate Launch my HTC Home icons became useless. I like the clock though so this is great. also it uses less screen space and is still customizable. Not nealry as much as HTC Home though.
Thanks for the heads up.

Same here. I really don't use the HTC Home tabs anymore either since I now use UL.

The seconds are counted wheather its displayed or not. So that hardly makes any difference.
HTC Home
I use Slither's cube so ,I dont use HTC home neway... the clock is too big
I actually really like this. It gives the nice large digital look from home without the memory hogging. Its perfect for UL, Or just having a clock on the main screen while Mobile Shell isnt running.
yes i use app very much.. this and inbox and ptravelalarm are all that display on today screen
awesome! ive been looking for this. helps when you have to count patient's respirations and pulse in the ER.
but... bandwith has been maxed out. anyone post it somewhere free or send it my way? thanks!
Here is the cab
Yap...its maxed out.... here is the cab enjoy...
On a side note ...try the pocketCM calendar...looks nice..
Hi,
Great software !!!
I need the source code please.
It's in the download section of the project's pages but there is a bandswidth problem ...
Can someone give it ??
Thank you in advance !!
ps : i need this because i just want to developp a new plug in.
Hi all,
I installed this on my wife's iMate K-Jam (Wizard) and she experienced a huge battery drain. She went back to the Samsung Time plugin which is even smaller, customizable and no seconds means normal battery drain.

[Q] My diamond has extra "+" icons in "Programs" tab.

First, I would like to begin by saying I have tried searching on both Google, and using the forum search provided here. If I missed something, please lead me in the right direction.
I have an HTC Touch Diamond in Canada from Telus. I have had it for about a month, and I must admit, it's beautiful! Anyways, I was flipping over to my Programs tab, and decided I was going to add a program to one of the tabs. I flicked up, and up came the next 9 "+" icons. (total of 18 icons, correct?). So I add the application to the icon, and it returns me to the programs tab. I scroll down, and what's this? I have an extra "+" tab (Total of 19 now). Each time after adding an application, another appears. Now, you might think this could be cool, and useful, but first off, you can't add any program shortcuts to these extra "+" icons... if you click on them, it comes up with the Add Program thing, and if you click on it, it returns to the program's tab, without the program. Secondly, they cannot be removed. If you delete one of the Program shortcuts that you added, the extra one does not be removed. It just stays there, and its quite annoying.
After playing around with the TouchFlo 3d for some time, it seemed to fix itself for a little bit, but as soon as I tried to add a shortcut, they added themselves again. A soft reset does not solve, and I really don't want to do a hard reset. I have .NET framework 3.5 installed, and I have installed a few applications (only after reading reviews, mostly coming from these forums, other than google maps). I have ROM version: 1.06.661.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Hind1
This is the Programs tab that i'm talking about

Easy fix. You need to delete a few registry keys.
Goto HKLM-->software-->HTC-->Manilla-->ProgramLauncher
You should only have number 0-17 (total 18). Delete anything greater than that e.g. 18, 19 etc.
Thanks for the quick reply!!
Worked perfectly. Awesome.
Thanks,
Hind1
Glad that's sorted my friend.
What a lot of people would want to know though, is there a way to actually add the extra icons and use them? It seems by editing the registry you can add as many as you want, but it seems to be impossible to use them. Being able to have more programs on this tab would be very useful!
Hmm... I never thought of that!
I'm sure it wouldn't be all that hard... I am not really a wiz with windows mobile, as I just picked this phone up about a month ago (my first windows mobile device owned), so I probably won't be able to figure it out, but if there's anybody who wants to try, that would be awesome!

Sony Ericsson Tracker request

This is my first post, so sorry if I haven't put this in the right place!
I've been trying to get hold of the Tracker program from Sony Ericsson for my X1. I've found it on their website at www.sonyericsson.com/fun under the software link, but not for the X1. I've emailed Sony Ericsson asking whether it will ever be released and have been told in the usual manner that basically "No."!
So on to my point. Do any mightily clever people feel like giving this one a go? I really wanted to use it to take a look at my running route and analyse my progress, but it doesn't work!
Thanks in advance.
use GWatch, it's free and it's a stopwatch as well. you can also upload the gps coordinates from it onto google maps to show your route
http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/about
SportyPal seem to be WM's way of Symbian's Tracker
Thanks guys I'll give them a go. Sony Ericsson's Tracker has a really nice interface, but I guess as long as the other two do the same thing I'll be happy!
I use trackypro ...

I'm useing Sprtypal, mostly for cycling, some running and rollerbladeing. It is easy of use and nice clean design. Except tracking there is analyzeing. I did this workout minutes ago:

I have been using sportypal for some time now, it is really excellent stuff, that can help you with your running or cycling, especially when you are withoit a gps device.
I use the 'on the road' panel & GPS Cycle Computer >> http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gps-cycle-computer-v3.html GCC is a little awkward as you have to create the maps via Google Earth, but the author has good instructions on how to do it.
I have G-Watch too, but haven't used it for anythign other than a countdown timer and a stop watch.
is the g watch free of charge??? or just trial version???

G-Watch is a freebie.
G-Alarm isn't
I have tried the cycle computer, but I couldn't get him running on my xperia, sometimes it turn on only with showing half of the screen, sometimes doesn't even run properly .
For now the sportypal is fine for me. ,

i use sportypal, too. i have a lot of trouble recording tracks properly on my X1 (r3a-spb mobile shell3). a lot of GPS errors, half recorded tracks. the support is eager to help..but until now the results are far from satisfying..maybe it is a individual problem of my setup. i don't have any hassle running other GPS apps like tomtom, etc.
clueless..
i installed the new version of sportypal..now it works as expected. great app.
a better battery life would be great...gps consumes a lot of power.
On the newest version 1.0.6 it has its own screen management program, that is saving on the power on the screen->and this gives some better batery life.

[WM6.5][MOD] Light Themed HTC HD2 Mini Lockscreen (W)VGA v1.5

I just starting using NRG's GTX Themed ROM and I'm really liking it. However, I really like the HD2 MINI lockscreen a lot more than the standard WM lockscreen, but the colors didn't play nice at all. So, I decided to go ahead and fix it. This will be a nice compliment to anyone else using GTX ROM's (or just the standard theme on top of their ROM of choice) and this place is all about sharing, so here it is.
A couple of important notes:
1) Not my fault if gremlins come out of your phone and eat your kit-kats.
2) I did not dump this from the HD2 Mini, original work done by michyprima and the original thread can be found HERE
3)STILL DOES NOT WORK WITH A PIN PASSWORD, YOU MUST DISABLE YOUR LOCKSCREEN PIN BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS OR WHEN YOUR PHONE GOES TO THE LOCK SCREEN YOU WILL BE SCREWED AND HAVE TO HARD RESET YOUR PHONE TO ACCESS YOUR INFORMATION. Hopefully I will be able to sort out this issue soon for those of you that do use a PIN password.
4) I don't have landscape (it comes up with the lock in portrait) working properly on my phone but the graphic files are updated so I should be able to sort it out at some point in the near future.
Let me know what you guys think of it. Suggestions, criticisms (creative) and such are welcome.
To do:
1) I want to make the bottom notifications stand out a bit more (not shown in screenshot. The font doesn't look so great with the white background. -done
2) Landscape Support
3) PIN Password Support
4) Update notification Graphics (maybe) -done
5) VGA Support, if there is desire for it. -done
Changelog:
Version 1.5
* Updated Notification Graphics (to match GTX, thanks)
* Notifications now stand out, nor are they annoyingly close to the top border
Version 1.0
* Initial Public Release

Well, there is already an official one
There sure is. I noticed that after I posted. Mine looks different though.
IIRC There are like a million different icon sets and taskbar theme's too. Variety, spice, life.
Looks great! VGA PLEAASE
I'll get a VGA copy out today.

QVGA
any way of get for qvga??
i like it but the slide isn't enough motion. could we get it to slide from the middle or the top? and also is there a way to make the locker automatically turn on after the display is turned off and back on? i'd like to try this out instead of s2u2 but it doesn't offer as many options it seems /:
looks nice too bad doesnt work on my acer neotouch. nearly had to hard reset cos i couldnt remove it...
Would you be able to fix the bug that stops alarms from working?
I'm still kind of tinkering with this TDC, but I'm really not that great with coding, much more of a gfx guy. I'm more trying to get landscape working on it at this point TBH. I haven't given up yet though!
