Throttle Launcher

[Guest HasC]

I have installed Throttle launcher today from APBilbo at XDA developers,

I have not tried Manilla 2d yet however this one seems to work very well and is very responsive, there are no suitable skins yet apart from the standard one that is supplied at XDA as a zip file. I have looked to see if anyone else had installed this on Modaco but there were not many threads on it and the ones I found referred to older versions which stated that it was slow.

The version I have installed is 0.9.5 which was released very recently.

You can see a preview at :

Hi,

I have installed same exact version as you but removed it instantly as it was very slow sliding through bottom tabs...

Not fluent at all!!

Is yours fast?

If yes could you advise me what I might have done wrong?

Thanks !

My installation seems to work just like the one on the demo in the link above, all I did was to hard reset my phone and followed the instructions from

http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/dow...eleases/84-094k

Just follow his procedure in the exact order as described and remember to install flashplayer 7 on your phone which is one of the pre-requisites and is a free download (google search it):

Prerequisites

- CPU: 200 Mhz

- Storage Memory: ~3,5 MB

- Main memory: ~ 6 MB

- Device screen: theme optimized for qVGA (240x320)or VGA (480x640). Tough it will work on any screen resolution like wqVGA or wVGA. I'll upload a wqVGA optimized theme soon

- NET.CF 2.0 installed

- Windows Mobile 5.0, 6.0 or 6.1.

- To use flash you need flashplayer 7 installed.

Instalation

• Backup your ThrottleLauncher directory if you have a previous instalation, specially if you have a customized theme.
  
• Unselect the today plugin if you have it activated.
  
• Softreset
  
• Uninstall all the previous versions of ThrottleLauncher.
  
• Install the ThrottleLauncher0.9.5Beta.cab file.
  
• Install the TL_TouchFlo3D.cab
  
• Set the \Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\Touchflo3D\fingerprintLR.jpgas your background for qVGA and fingerprintHR for VGA.
  
• Select ThrottleToday as today plugin and uncheck all other today plugins.
  
• Throttle must be on your today screen. If that does not work try:
  • Softreset
    
  • Go to StartMenu > Programs > ThrottleConfig and on the dialog that appears select Touchflo3D in the combo (even if it's already selected, do it).
    
  • Click on reset plugin.
    

If you encounter any problems during instalation don't hesitate to post a thread on my forum.

First steps

First of all you'll need to change some options to make Throttle completly integrate with your device:

- Go to the settings tab (the one with the wheels) and click on the Touchflo3D icon.

- In the general tab select the tabs you'll like to see on the footer. You can change the order by using the arrows on the left.

- On the programs tab select the category of the app's you'll like to see on the programs tab (you can leave it to all to see them all). You can also change here the transparency mode in case you want to make the scrolling more smooth (the fastest is None and the slower is true).

- On the messages tab select your mail account in the combo.

- On the weather set your city and languaje details. To find your city,country and language use this URL:

http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=CITY,...RST_TWO_LETTERS

for example:

http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Madrid,Spain&es

- On the plugins, select the plugins you want to see on the plugins tab. Note that to see plugins here they must be unselected on the windows today config dialog and that not all the plugins are supported.

- On the music tab select your favorite music player. Mortplayer, S2P and WMP are suppoted.

- On the picture path enter the path of your folder. To do it click on the 3 dots on the right and navigate until you find your folder containing the images. With that folder selected click on actions\ok.

ThrottleLauncher also comes with some configuration options to improve speed and smoothness, play with the transparency modes until you find the best fit for your device.
