Only-fingers project

[N82master]

Hi all. I am new on this great forum.
There are some stylus-free application but I would like that there is a complete stylus-free application for everything on a windowsmobile (not only the contacts or the music player) so can we make a project to use our WM without stylus?

PS: I know there are pointui, and other ui but they are only UI so I want (if possible) a complete stylus-free application

We already have some applications:

pointUI for the UI
Icontact or pockeetCM for the contacts
the music player from the touch or the manila player

and now what about the others applications?

Internet browsing: opera 9.5 from the manila
best virtual Keyboard stylus-free: ?

So, my wish is that we make a .cab with as much as possible finger-friendly application to have a better and faster control for all WM.
I hope you agree and we (the community) make a complete stylus-free application for all uses on WM.


EDIT: If you didn't understand what I mean, I would like that the TOUCH developper get together and create only one powerful application and not creat many more (I think there are more than 10 UI apps) even if they are great I think it will be better that you make one complete application.

couldnt agree more bud

[N82master]

thanks!
I'm waiting on developpers :)

[bluemetalaxe]

SO you know all the fingerfriendly apps, so what is this thread about ???:confused:
Are you waiting for a developer who makes 4 cabs to one ??
Are you to lazy to install 4 cabs or what ? Sorry man, this is junior bullshit, install pointui, opera, pocketcm and thumbcal, this can´t be to difficult also for noobs.

[N82master]

I've already installed them. They are great but for example I must use the stylus for the calendar, the start menu, the settings, the pictures/videos gallery...
And I want to never have to use the stylus.

[ruebyi]

Thumbcal is a great Calendar wich is made for "touchfeeling"

[bluemetalaxe]

so you can find her thumbCal ,a completly fingerfriendly calendar and with point ui, ultimatelaunch or thousands of other launchers here you dont need starmenue, settings or something like that, so again, what is this thread about :confused:,
here is a list of some apps i use:
PointUI
thumbCal
PocketCm
s2u2, s2p, s2v
diamond keyboard
opera 9.5

SO PLEASE SEARCH ! If you really tried all this apps then i dont know why you need your stylus ? To make on GUI out of all this isnt usefull because every user whats something special and installing the applications YOU want is so easy. the easiest and most powerfull GUI ist pointui, then you use thumbcal., for media the s2-apps (or the HTC Apps) and for browsing opera 9.5 (or opera mini) and another keyboard thats it.

This is the collection I'm using on my tmobile wing right now:

0. Pointui 1.51a
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx
This is the most complete UI replacement for WM IMHO. Besides the Home Task Bar gives users a feel of consistency when launching apps, settings, etc. The new version is much more stable than previous versions, and almost bug free, almost. Check pointui forum for more details.

Be aware! Most of these have *opposite* vertical scrolling than pointui. However I think pointui scrolling is SUPERIOR because I can scroll much faster

1. S2U2 - for full screen caller ID (indispensable) and lock, so when unlock it goes to whatever it was before locking instead of Home

The analog clock is exactly the same - looks almost unreal, and also can be customized by pointtweaks as the default lock program

2. S2P - music player, exactly like what Iphone has (too close to iphone than what I like)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=37762

3. S2V - picture viewer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358187
can be used with parameter such as "\storage card\my documents\my pictures" (without quotes) to open that directory on default, also use to assign pictures to contacts
The nice thing about the slide 2 series is their task bar has a similar look with pointui task bar, sweet!

7. Touchpal

You can always use the free version of it. Big buttons, and tons of extra functionality (copy, paste, internet suffix, symbols, etc). Best for fat fingers like what I have.
Caution: you may need SIP changer to make it default after soft reset:

Not so finger friendly but still good enough with finger navigation:
1. Total commander
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
The most powerful file manager for WM, period. Using large icons it can be quite finger friendly, and with the combination of a touch-flo rom, no need for stylus. Also use as registry editor.

2. Opera Mini
http://www.operamini.com/
If you don't know what opera mini is then you're missing the good stuff. Works best with Esmertec Jbed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394227
Not so finger friendly at first glance but totally cool with pure finger operation.

Finger unfriendly software but still worth mentioning:
1. TCPMP
http://www.badongo.com/file/4055874
A project stopped a long time ago (because they went commercial, kinda like where pointui is leading). Good player for youtube and avi files when bundled with flashvideobundle
http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=1319431
However because d-pad works well during playback (up/down for volume, left/right for rewind/fast forward) therefore still handleable

2. QuickMenu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340358
Not finger friendly at all; but very powerful. Mainly use d-pad to operate but because it also has task manger function and assign OK to close programs, quite useful from day-to-day

I have also created folders in my windows\start menu so now programs of similar groups (office, internet, etc) gets put in their respective folder. This greatly reduced the clutter when trying to launch programs from either pointui or quick menu.

Now the only time I draw out the stylus is when I need to scratch on the note - finger just can't do that, at least not yet :)

Speak to Schaps - he's currently looking for beta testers for a new Touch Menu UI he's been developing for the past 6 months...

[flaviopac]

I don't think this is a good idea because there are tons of finger-friendly apps...
And you have only to chose the one fits better to your needs....
So you must try them to figure out which is the best for you.....;)

[sushilange]

All these apps are great, but there is a big problem:

it is not always possible to use them all, because there are many features which are double implemented.

for example: pocketcm ist not just for contacts, also for sms, etc.

pointui has a gui for contacts too but not for sms, and so on...

it would be nice, if those developers will make a new project together and each of them will do what he can do best (pointui-team should make the gui, pocketcm-developer the contacts, etc.).

Too bad its not for herald or any other device.

[N82master]

Thank you for the apps. but I wanted that the developpers make one cab that complete changes the WM so all these apps in 1. Because If you activate the ui, you open the webbrowser, you sand a sms, .... you have space memory problems. For example: with my touch (p3450) if I use pointui home and then listen to music, the touch is very slow,..
So I would like that the developpers (I'll help them if I can and can be a beta-tester) make one app that COMPLETE changes the WM from the ui to the sms app, settings,...
Please, I hope you understand what I mean,thx.

[Azimuth21]

What I'm getting from this is you want every single "touch" developer to get together and create what would essentially be one HUGE interface application, with everything built in? You're asking way too much here, just appreciate the fact that there are so many separate developers and applications for you to pick and choose from.

Edit:
Forgot to suggest waiting to buy a Touch Diamond or Touch Pro. That's my plan, haha.

[N82master]

^^ Yes you're a bit right... it's not necessary to use these apps but yes I want an everything built in application because when I install many touch apps, my PPC has some bugs and goes slowly...therefor I want a complete app

EDIT: haha I can't because I've bought another phone for 2 weeks^^ (n*kia N82)
