Home 2 is out!

[xPreSiDenT]

For people waiting for Pointui Home2 free(if there are any) its out, n its awesome! At last a great alternative to M2D etc. Infact I think its better. Check it out here (http://www.pointui.com/products/home-2).

Still takes too much RAM just like M2D. And I don't know but I feel that 1.51 was much better than Home 2, it just feels like all show but no go.

It seems neat, but like xPreSiDenT said, it takes too much ram.

Playing with it, I ended up with about 8 meg free, and if I open a spreadsheet, or anything that consumes just a bit of memory, it will close home 2. Kinda defeats the purpose.

I think it is a neat idea, we just don't have enough memory.

best luck for all of you mates

Tried it, hogged ram like a mofo, uninstalled. Now there is happiness back in the world.

It did look good and ran fast but the ratio of geek-goodness to app resource hogging simply did not cut it.

Its definitely cool. I think it needs a bit more work to become my HTC Home replacement.

Theres definitely bugs present (like how for the weather when you select New York it marks it on the map as being in the middle of Africa, or Los Angeles in the middle of South America).. but I'll keep a close eye on it ;)

then load the Cities file to your pc or open it in a editor, search for the location you want and make the values of X and Y :2 and you have the right coordinates

€dit: oops wrong fix but nice to know it too^^

Another fix from PointUI board from JSpeed
That is a very good assumption, however the problem (I suspect) is the change from hi-res to low-res. In World.cs there is a line that finds the size of the screen. for hi-res (VGA), it subtracts 180 from the width. in QVGA, it does the same. This should be 80 instead.

It looks like this:

y = GetTop();
x = GetWidth() - 160;
// Whack up the first icon
imgWeatherIcon1.Surface.LoadFromFile(imageFile1); // Load the appropriate image
imgWeatherIcon1.AutoSize();
imgWeatherIcon1.SetBounds(x + iOffset1, y);

// Position the control where it needs to start
imgWeatherIcon1.AnimateClear();
imgWeatherIcon1.AnimateFade(0, 100, 3);
imgWeatherIcon1.SetVisible(true);

Simply changing the 160 to 80 seems to fix this problem perfectly.

QVGA bug
