HTC Home VS. Pocket Plus 4

[robpet2]

so what do yall think about the two programs... what's the pros and cons between the two..

right now im running htc home and its okay so far but im not sure if I want to install pocket plus 4 on my wing... im testing pplus 4 on my mda...

I like the htc home plus screen is because the large clock, lol, and nothing else. I like the pocket plus 4 because I can tweak the icons, auto hide, minimize it/auto-hide, has the smart scroll thingie, and have today plug-ins as well. I read that Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 beta 2 is out, so it's getting even better. In a nutshell, for me, both apps compliment the other. But I'm leaning towards using the Alexk's Alldate app and the SPC pocket plus beta 2 simultaneously.

I use RLCalendar for a large clock and date display. It would be nicer if it had centering and font selection, but it's good enough for me.

Both of them kill battery life

Both of them kill battery life

I have noticed severe battery drain since installing PDAVIET.

I have installed both trial verisons and guess what... they become one!

Spb pocketplus integrates into the mobileshell, or the mobileshell integrates into pocketplus. Whatever.

The union rocks and loads you of several useful features without loosing any, but, HTCHome is a must on the today screen because of the clock (puma white downloaded) and the quick acces to SMS and e-mail.

I have left the HTCHome with only 4 tabs (Home, weather, Apps and Profiles) and that makes it much comfortable to use. Now the profiles (Normal/Vibrator/Silence) are also accessible from the mobilshell today screen.

The only thing that I would add is the (must have) batterystatus (added the Reduser skin), which shows GSM Signal strength, powerdrain and, of course, the battery level.

I changed my home screen, thus losing the HTC Home Plus screen in favor of installing Alexk's Alldate app (which you can see) that displays the time and date in big letters and numbers, and keeping the Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 beta 2 in auto hide mode.. I like simplicity.

Hello @ all,

I´m using Pocket plus 4, Mobile Shell, Phone Suite, GPRS Monitor, Insight, Traveler, Finance, Resco Explorer in the Tabs.
All in Auto Hide mode, so Resco Today don´t needs the Memory all the time. All apps are running on my SD-Card.

I just deleted it from my wing... phone kept booting up in safe mode after soft reset.. and wouldn't stop rebooting...
glitch perhaps...
and now im running low on memory all the time..

[Ghostrider]

for the memory leak it might an problem on the Wing at all I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337746

for the Reboot Problem, use an Fileexplorer as TC or Resco and rename the File omap850_sdhc.dll in Windows to omap850_sdhc.old and softreset.
for me this slovt the Problem of Bootloop.

hope it help't.

hello!

i would like to use GSPlayer in HTC Home plugin at the music tab.
i like this player because it has equalizer and it is simple etc etc..
and wmp or htc audio has not got
(bassboost.cab not working on htc herald- i have htc herald )

so my question is: is it possible to use this app in place of wmplayer or htc audio?

thanks,
pulyka

I had no choice but to do a hard reset on both my wing and mda.. kept having the same problem with the reboots, and random resets on its own... I might try resco file explorer instead... the smart scroll feature was cool but not that serious for me... and pocket plus was preventing my mda from charging aslo.

I liked lite but when I tried to use pocket plus with the cube....all went to hell. I just reflashed the orig rom. got battery...and added pocket plus. i am very, very happy. I loved the cube, but is seemed mostly for show. i do miss the phone contacts page from the cube though
