ThrottleLauncher 1.0 final is here! I can say that ThrottleLauncher is now complete. This version includes lots of improvements and a new complete redesign over the Light3D theme and the config dialogs.

 

 

Important

This software is provided AS IS, use it at your own risk.... and read all this page before installing!!

Please if you use this app, any feedback will be wellcome and will help in further development and bug solving. To post feedback use this web forum or the XDA developers one (search for the ThrottleLauncher thread ofcourse).

ThrottleLauncher will disable the security checks for 3rd party software from your device. This is necesary because TL uses reflection to load assemblies and the popup dialog will crash the system if it appears.

Prerequisites

  • CPU: > 200 Mhz (the higer the better)
  • Storage Memory: ~5 MB (depends on the themes installed)
  • Main memory: ~8 MB (depends on the themes installed)
  • NET.CF 2.0 installed. (NET.CF 3.5 recommended)
  • Windows Mobile 5.0 or Greatter.
  • In order to use OpenGL mode you need 3D accelerated hardware (normally available in all wVGA and VGA devices).
  • Any device manufacturer and screen resolutions are supported!!

Instalation

First of all, before installing, please perform a system backup. ThrottleLauncher 1.0 has succesfully passed the testing of more than 30 prerelases tested by betatesters to ensure your device is safe. Though this software is provided AS IS and without any waranty.

  1. Backup your device data.
  2. If you don't have a previous instalation skip to point 5.
  3. Unselect the ThrottleToday plugin if you have it activated.
  4. Softreset
  5. Copy the cab file to your device using ActiveSync and continue this steps using your device.
  6. Install the ThrottleLauncher_1_0.cab file. You can install it to any media, but installing to device memory is strongly recomended.
  7. Uncheck all other today plugins and select ThrottleToday (Start Menu > Settings > Today).
  8. ThrottleLauncher must now be showing on your Today screen. Congrats!!

The Light3D theme includes a little startup guide :).

Themes

ThrottleLauncher is a fully customizable UI framework. This means that you can achieve almost anything with it. There are themes making TL work really similar iPhone, WM7, Android, Hero, BBStorm and many other original themes like ConceptFS. BBSmart4D, SwitchBlade or PlanetcureFS. Just look arround this web and the forums... there are lot's of great themes available. Also if you feel brave enough you can create your own theme :).

Widgets

Some of the themes (like the Light3D theme) support widgets. Widgets are small items you can attach to the theme and drag&drop arround. Each widget may have it's own configuration. There are lot's of widgets available at this web and at the forums. Check'em out!

After that amount of time a red text will apear on the top but everything will continue working normally. Just go and get a new license :).

  • Petter Jacobs  - nice
    Very impressive. will be nice to se new themes later on.
  • zeiv  - does it work with TytnII
    does it work with HTC TytnII?
  • Matt  - T-01A(TG01)
    Does not work on my T-01A(Japanese version of TG01).
    Any solution?
  • Carlo  - Re: Matt - T-01A(TG01)
    I also have T-01A(TG01). The problem seems to be the Japanese characters. You need to remove any widget that has Japanese text (e.g. calendar) or disable text from the widgets. After you change this it will work.
    This used to work in the RC. Would be great to have a workaround to display Japanese.
  • Matt  - re: Re: Matt - T-01A(TG01)
    Thanks, Carlo. I'll give it a try. :)
  • APBilbo
    Yeah... the problem is the Japanese characters :(. They doesn't work in OpenGL mode. OpenGL is a pain to work with when talking about characters. I'll try to think of a way to have them for next release... Sorry
  • Spacious  - Enjoying so far.
    Found this just as I was finally getting HTC sense modified like I thought I wanted.

    So far it's a bit hard to get used to, but I can really see the potential for amazing customization.

    I'll post again when I figure it out.
    It seems to be running well on Touch Pro 2.
  • enter456  - anyone tried it on HD2?

  • APBilbo
    Man... watch the video :). I've developed the app and all the tests I've done are over an HD2 :P. It does work indeed.
