Little Tutorial
First of all remember this app is not a TouchFlo3D port. It's a fully skinable app. You can see some more setups for ThrottleLauncher here:
https://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/index.php/setupsaskins/45-091setups
System Requirements
- WM5 or greatter
- NET.CF 2.0 (3.5 strongly recomended)
- 195 Mhz CPU recomended. (The higer the better ;) )
- SD instalation is supported but installing to device will make it work faster
- 800 KB free space
Before installing
If you have a previous release uninstall it before doing anything. To do this, disable the today plugin and perform a soft reset. Ensure that everything related to throttle is closed after softreset. Uninstall the previous version.
Instalation
- Uncompress the zip file and copy both cabs to the device and execute them from the device in this order
- ThrottleLauncher-0.9.2.CAB
- TL_TouchFLO3D.CAB
- Instalation to device storage is strongly recomended.
What has been installed?
- ThrottleConfig: this app is used to configure the other two
- ThrottleToday plugin: this app must be started by checking the plugin on the today items list
- ThrottleLauncher main app: this is another way of running throttle using and standalone window instead of the today plugin. You can have both running simultaneously and you can make themes that make both app's interact.
How do I start the app?
- To run the today plugin go to StartMenu>Settings>Today Items tab and check throttletoday
- To run main app go to programs and execute ThrottleLauncher
Configure the app
To configure the app there are two methods:

- Weather2Reg. Thanks to alladin as this app idea came from his MortScript. Saves to registry the weather info from Google weather. (to HKLM/Software/ThrottleLauncher/GoogleWeather). Params: "WeatherCity [Madrid,Spain]" "WeatherLanguage [en]" "WeatherUnits [c/f]" "WeatherDTFormat [c# date format]".
- Message2Reg. Save to registry the message from the account with the number specified (to HKLM/ThrottleLauncher/Messaging/#AccountName#). Params: "account name [SMS/ActiveSync/...]" "Action [Next/Previous/Refresh/Details/Reply/Exit]". This little app is based on the MAPI api suplied here: https://www.codeproject.com/KB/mobile/PocketPCandSmartphone.aspx. If you want the sourcode of Message2Reg send me a mail and I'll send it ;) in cumpliment of the BSD license.
For further releases
- Vertical scrolling.
- Task bar replacement.
- Diferent layouts (including free layout instead of the grid fixed one).
- Landscape support.
- Much more surprises ;).
Message2Reg and ThrottleLauncher provide (only) the following features:
- SMS Refresh
- SMS Details
- SMS Next
- SMS Previous
Is there any way to delete SMS messages (via scripping or whatelse) ??
If not, I have always to open the native SMS application in order to delete messages and there is not a really full integration between themes and SMS management features.
Hope you can help!
Thanks,
brontolo
