Ultimate Launcher

[merefolk]

Please help - here is what I did with my Mogul (note I have been reading the forums and had this for the 2nd day)

1) installed the HTC home cab to get the upper half to display the clock and weather. Nothing has been configured yet
2) Copied over the cab and installed the Ultimate Launcher. I can see extra icons on the bottom of the screen, but no moving the screen or rolling finger displays.

How do I start this application?

Thanks for help

Like many of us here at PPCGeeks, I've toyed with many of the programs covered in this site... from iPhone style themes and the like (the most recent being iPhone Freestyle).

I previously had Total Commander, one of the BEST Cube-style programs installed, but I thought it was even slow in responding... with a delay of about two to three seconds before it came into view... despite its small footprint.

Two days ago installed the retail/registered version of UL v 1.2 to my Verizon Wireless VX6800 Mogul - much like many of you... after viewing MATT19's YouTube posting. I've got the PhoneAlarm Touch v2 clock running on the home screen of the device, as a static image... with UL displayed below. I first attempted to include it in the UL fields... and it DID load, much like MATT19's HTC Home clock did... but portions of it would get cut off from the bottom, and it would stat stationary - even though the other panels behind it would/could spin or rotate. So, I opted to keep it stationary - as a stand-alone, and simply make UL load below. As it is... it takes well over two minutes to load UL... despite the amount of frantic and annoyed thumb sweeps across the screen to activate and rotate the "cube" effect. I currently have about 12 icons in 5 hidden panels... none are Today Plug-ins, just shortcuts... so they aren't "running behind the scene". My Storage Memory is at 126MB and my Programs Memory is at: 16.86MB... so it's not as if it's bogged down. I'm finding the overall speed of this untweaked device is even slower than my previous VX6700...!

IS there a way to speed up the device - without over clocking it?

(I'd flash a new and updated ROM kitchen version of 6.1, but - I need to keep MMS and SMS ability - without any issues, as we use it constantly at work... sending the attending ER doc photos of the damage sustained to the interior of a car, for example, so he can better understand what kind of closed fracture and soft tissue injuries our patients have that we're sending him. You have no idea how vital a roll the images play in the care and treatment of the patients... until you can't send anything.)

Do you have ANY suggestions...?

Your kind attention is greatly appreciated!

They are really differnt types of applications. UL is only a today screen plugin and does not require any other software applications to function.

This is Ultimate Launch:


Wisbar Advance and WAD are a little more complex. They reskin windows and change things like menus etc... WAD can act as a launcher too but that is not really the main function

WA + WAD

eerhard,

What weather program are you using (assuming that picture of UL is yours)?

[Machinehead]

That's weatherpanel by Marsware.

[eehrhard]

It is. Which program are you refering to? The icons on the bottoms to turn off the screen, reset, power off and flip screen are Pocket Power Manager

The weather app is Weather Panel with Phat Phinger. The meters are Resco Today plug-in stripped down to just the meters and the carrier line with the calls sms etc is SBP Phone Suite.

Thanks. And sorry I can't type your name properly.

[eehrhard]
