Request: PointUI, PocketCM & S2U2 combined

[Daanmannetje]

Just think about it:

if we could combine the home-screen of PointUI with the contact list and sms-functions of PocketCM and the full screen caller ID of S2U2.

That would be the perfect WM5/6 phone: user friendly and with all the options, IMHO better than the cube.

Any genius that knows how to? I'm only good with thinking it up :-P

I already do this.
The Pointui forum explains how to change the lock application, so it can be pointed to S2U2. I don't use it's Caller ID function, but can't see there'd be a problem, I might have a play later, but the wife has nicked my phone.

It also explains how you can alter the default media player link, just change this to point to PocketCM, OK currently you can't change the icon, so PocketCM will still be presented as the musical note icon, but you know what it does.

It all works pretty well.

Ok I couldn't find it yet, I'll look for it.

Hopefully in the future it will be integraded, but for now I love PointUI.
I found some minor issues, but this is only version 1.01, I'm looking forward to the next version..


By the way, I really don't like S2U2, I just like the full screen caller ID

to merge S2U2 with pointUI you gotta do this:

with a registry editor procede with the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Pointui > Pointui.home > 1.01b

there create a String Value with the following information

Name
App.Path.LockScreen

Value
\Program Files\S2U2\S2U2.exe
of course assuming that S2U2 is installed on phone memory. if not get the path of S2U2.exe from File Explorer.

Now you can press the lock button from pointUI home and lock ur device with S2U2 and having its full screen dialer.

CHEERS 8-)

I got it working, but why can't I change the phone icon to pocketCM? I tried to add App.Path.Phone, but it didn't work

Because they (PointUI devs) haven't made that icon configurable. But otherwise, I do this. I have my lock point to S2U2, use callerID of S2U2 with no issues. I have my music icon point to FFF for contacts. (I had it set to my PocketPlayer for music at first, but I use FFF more often, so I switched it.)

Also, since S2U2 has the "lock on wake up" option, and the "lock on timeout" options, it still autostarts. I still leave iLock2.exe in my start up folder with home.exe. I let S2U2 engage even when Home is running (at first I tried to exclude it, but it makes more sense not to exclude it). So, all 3 progs work nicely together! And on my Kaiser, memory is not an issue!

These will always be 3 different applications, so we just need to wait for more customization of PointUI for better integration. I have all 3 running great right now. A couple ways (other than mapping the music icon or going into applications) I have found you can access pocket CM currently:
1. A. Down arrow at bottom of home screen. B. Favorites. C. PocketCM. Yes it is three keys, but it isn't bad.
2. I don't use Tasks, so I created a registry string to map tasks to PocketCM. Now all I do is scroll to "Tasks" on the screen and press it and it opens PocketCM. The string name is App.Path.Tasks and the data is \Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe (assuming you have it installed to the device).

In the meantime, I created a PocketCM theme:
