I had a similar problem and wrote my own hint. This may be the solution for you.
You can initialize using your custom view (suppose you write some delegations to detect actions inside.) And are present anywhere.
It may not be the best replacement for the UIPopoverController, but it works just fine. And a lifesaver for the iPhone. Also very customizable.

Hope this helps.
