New HTC Today plugin - "HTC Plus!"

Attached is a cab installer for HTC Plus!
This application adds a nice clock and messages interface to the today menu, as well as adding an application launcher with included high quality icons for the applications.
As found, this application was non-functional. HTCImgCodec.dll has been added (exists in some ROMs already) and registry settings have been changed to disable the Backlight Adjust function. For some reason when this function is enabled the device hangs during boot and a hard reset is required to fix. You have been warned. DO NOT ENABLE BACKLIGHT ADJUST.
Screenshots below. More stuff to come.
UPDATE: I've replaced the file with an updated version. This update changes the installation defaults in a manner that should help anyone who experienced a problem installing the previous version. No changes are made in the plug-in, so if you already have it working don't bother updating.

another new one to try thanks bro awe3some!!

It looks interesting!! Thanks for the new stuff and more important, for the warning!

Very cool today plugin! Too bad it doesn't have weather... So, Ill stick to the HTC Home plug.

OK
Nice and pretty, thanks my friend.

not working x500 wm6 =(

now we need it customized like all the other HTC plugins.

Customisation
This plugin is easily customisable. The layout is stored entirely as bmp images under \Windows\HTCPlus. And all the programs chosen can be modified under HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts.

good
Very cool today plugin!

looks nice! can i still use htc customizer to customize it?

Nice today plugin.
However, it is still lag far behind O2 Plus, which has sould profile, call forwarding, task manager and more...

very nice man
Thanks

Nice! Although I still prefer HTC Home.

Looks great, but couldnt get it to work on my Touch. The today plugin does not appear on the screen, nor in the list with available plugins. The Options tab is present though :\

great thankz
thsnkz,
jdac21

Thanks a lot
I'm going to try it
Unfortunately not working

possible fix
I also originally had the problem where the plugin was not appearing in the list of plugins or on the today screen, but the HTC Plus tab was still displayed in settings. I was able to fix this problem by copying HTCImgCodec.dll into \Windows. I added it to the cab. Perhaps this file is not being copied? Check for its existence and try manually extracting it to \Windows if it doesnt show up.

I installed it on my Artemis with official HTC Asia WM6 rom and for me it works until you switch off the device. Than you can never switch it on again, only by soft reset with stylus!
So I uninstalled the prog quickly...
Otherwise it would be nice to have it on Today screen, so if someone could construct a bug-free cab from the extracted files I would really welcome it!
cheers

Will download an try when I get home!

has anyone been able to customize this plugin?
1. add voicemail to indicators
2. map text message indicator to palm threaded messaging app
i love the simplicity of this plugin, hopefully someone will develop this or perhaps point me in the direction on how to customize this plugin.

[APP] Simplest working workaround for Landscape TF3D

Inspired by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471295
Instruction:
Make sure that that TF3D installed and works like it should in portrait mode
Get latest MortScript from here. Tested with latest beta (preferable).
Install MortScript on your X1
Unzip attached script and put in your \Windows\StartUp (or localized name) folder on your X1
Softreset (or run script manually)
Report
The basic idea is VERY simple - just prevent screen rotation while TF3D is active and allow landscape for any other apps.
Script dynamically switches between landscape and portrait modes if keyboard is unfolded and device is switched from TF3D to “normal” app or vice versa.
If you are using standalone SPb Mobile Shell (not as a panel) this script prevent show "SPb Now screen" on wakeup if TF3D is onscreen.
Now with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback - camera button remapped to right softkey while TF3D is on screen. Looking for solution.
Version History:
v1.0
+ Initial Version
v1.1
+ Added ability to autodisable "SPb Now on wakeup" while TF3D on screen
v1.3
+ Real prevention of landscape for TF3D. Camera button not functional while TF3D is on screen.
v1.4
+ While TF3D is on screen right softkey button works as camera button
+ If TF3D isn't on screen right softkey buttion works as right softkey (hardcoded)
Please include in report TF3D version (source) and type of TF3D use (Today/Panel).

I like simple and effective solutions, kudos

OK, so test it.
And don't forget to report.

Just developed new script for people who use SPb Mobile Shell not as a panel.
I’m personally prefer use SPb Mobile Shell in that way because I like fullscreen look and feel of Mobile Shell (and Mobile Shell Panel doesn’t support Russian).
This script include functionality of TF3D landscape workaround plus prevent SPb “Now Screen” to be shown in case that TF3D active.
If you don’t have SPb Mobile Shell you can use this script as well, it will function only as TF3D landscape workaround in that case.
Installation instruction in first post.

Just tried it. It works. When the phone switch to landscape mode when you slide out the keyboard, it switches it back to portrait mode.
Although i really wished that this script stops TF3d to switch to landscape mode entirely. so we dont see that ugly ass half pixelated screen at all

It's just my first mobile script.
I'll try to find out is total prevention possible becase I don't like ugly screen on nice device too.
But anyway it's better to have ugly screen for 1-2 seconds than ugly screen all the time.

Just developed new solution with real prevention of landscape for TF3D.
Drawback that camera button not works while TF3D on screen. Looking for solution.
New version in first post.

1.3 works fine, camera has no issues.
using Itje 2.2 tf3d as today plug In

1.3 works, but it disabled the camera button as stated
Using UK generic ROM, tf3d as panel. fix it fix fix fix fix!
Thanks btw!

Just wondering how you got yours to work? I have the same ROM as yours, but nothing works on my phone...won't go into portrait mode at all

did you follow the instructions exactly? do you get any error messages?
i originally used the version of this with the spb fix in it (for no reason than I could) then replaced the 1.3 file. Can't see how that would make any difference.
I am using the b10 of mortscript btw, but don't think that makes any difference.
Karlson nice script, I might try some different plugins, if I can get the old BIG VGA home plugin working from the x7500 that would look great in landscape. I've never been that impressed by this action screen..
Think about it I might just try some of my old Rltoday screens.

Very nice fix
my TF3D screen doesn't rotate anymore Thank you

Share your ideas - I can make more scripts for any automation.

Just published new version.
Camera button remaped to right softkey.
If TF3D isn't active right softkey works as default (hardcoded).
Please post any suggestion especially if you need different right softkey functionality.

Well, it would be nice if you could wrap a small UI around your app. Perhaps a landscape disable "toggle" and right softkey remap toggle as well? I'm going to try it again, see what it does now.

for TF3D, I have Version 3.0 (Build 32076) <-- This one came with itje's Touch-IT Xperience ROM v.2.2
for MortScript, I'm using the latest one from the link you provided

using V1.4 looks better
just a little problem though, when i slide out my keyboard it kick back to portrait then came back to landscape --> improvement, it stay in landscape, last try it will always kick back to portrait.
when i slide in, it close the cmEXlandscape perfectly
GREAT JOB!
THANKS!!
Cheers

Has anyone tried this with TF3D as a panel?
Also, what happens when I slide open the keyboard, does it rotate back to portrait or does it show the tabs, but as shortcuts on the screen?

Simply irresistible offer
I'd realy like to use my right softkey to start recording voice notes (single press to star recording, not "record while holding")

6/15/09 "Zoom Status" and "task manager" from new Acer Roms (cabs now available)

6/15/09 "Zoom Status" and "task manager" from new Acer Roms (cabs now available)
edit: CAB not available at post #8..thanks man
the only thing that cought my attention from the acer software is the "zoom status". see it in action in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Kv0MZfoZI&feature=channel_page 6:30 - 7:00
i like it better than the new notification center of tf3d 2
hope someone can port it

I do like that, especially the close button.

that shouldn't be too hard to get on vga devices.. right?

the device in the video has wvga screen(save horizantal resolution as the normal vga device. i think it will port very easily to vga devices

Yeah. And the taskmanager is quite nice too

Here is the Cab - I loaded it on my Titan (QVGA) and it installed without a problem but won't run. There is a QVGA icon pack in the install directory and it creates a shortcut in the startmenu. When I click on the shortcut an Info box pops up that says (Can't Start Zoom Status Please Check Zoom Status is Enabled). I don't see any obvious way to enable it after looking in the install directory and the windows directory. Have soft reset after install, still no luck.
By the way, it doesn't show up in the remove programs directory so once you've installed it you have to manually remove...
I'm running WM 6.5 27128 so perhaps this only works on 6.1.

I installed it on an X1 running wm6.5 and got the same error message but you can get it to run if you disable the default today plugin in on wm6.5 and enable the Zoomstatus one.
guess it runs as a today plugin in on the Acer shell

I run it on custom asus WM 6.5.xxx502 ROM. I did the same as jbrummie but I couldn`t have both enabled - windows default and zoom status. Any solution ?

Yep - found the same thing. It runs and works on 6.5 but won't work at the same time Titanium is enabled....

thanks
will test it

6.1 ROM , Qvga, Elfin.
Must shut down Tf2d in order for this to work.
The topaz notification system cant be shut down. So I only can see task manager.
Over.

-
installed the task manager on my imate 9502 and all it done was enlarge the scrollbars on standard winmo applications so as only 2 icons are displayed per line..

Works fine on my xperia with wm6.1

installed on my i910 omnia, seems to wrk. although some buttons dont do anything when i press them on the zoomstatus. havent tried the taskmgr yet.
edit: i just soft reset, the task manager is there. works fine. looking at the install folder it seems skinnable. also it doesnt seem to give me accurate info since im on verizons network. the sig strength and battery works fine though. taskmanager also looks skinnable since all the image files are in the install folder. looks fun.

Here are some pics on a Fuze. I had to turn off TF3D. Also, some of the notifications don't work, like volume just brings me back to HTC's notifications so it's a loop. The other taskbar items work but require a press and hold. i'm using the updated Fuze ROM.

Zoom status works fine with Titanium (wm6.5) if you change registry value "Exclusive" to zero for Titanium plugin.
You should enable both plugins ("Windows Default"(Titanium) and ZoomStatus) in Today items settings.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Windows Default"]
"Exclusive"=dword:00000000

need help with touchflo detatcher

im using tfdetacher 6.5 and the right softkey on the wm6.5 today screen says touchflo but when i goto touchflo, how do i set the right softkey to take me back to the 6.5 today screen?

In the tfdetacher config program. I believe it is in your start/programs by default.

its in my programs start menu but i click on it and it just takes me back to touchflo today screen, i wanna get my wm6.5 today screen

Try looking under settings, or a folder called system tools, or something like that. There should be a program called TFD Config somewhere in your Startmenu. You did install TFD and having it currently running right?

yes its installed and running but its real slow on switching over and sometimes the soft keys will start flashing and also i want to be able to use weatherpanel 2009 but cant seem to figure all this out. srry, im such a noob..lol

Dunno what to say man. It works flawlessly on my Vogue. Maybe you have too many programs running and are low on RAM. Sorry I don't have any other tips.

ok, what version of touchflo detatcher do you use on your vogue and also, could you post your screenshots of all the settings that i need to do to make it work and to make weatherpanel 2009 be incorarated in that as well. i do have 2nd today installed just havnt set it up yet

ok, i've set the softkeys correctly in tfconfig and they still dont respond. is there something i need to do to the registry to get tfdetacher to work right on my vogue using NFSFAN'S V12 6.5 ROM

ok, i fixed my issue except im not using tfdetacher, instead i downloaded and installed Manila Control v1.0, went to config and selected manila 2d which fixed the right softkey on my touchflo today screen but not on the 6.5 side so i then got into my registry and changed these variables:
1. goto HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock
2.change SK2TEXT from "Set" to "TF2D." (no quote)
3.change SK2URL from ":MSCLOCK;AppRunToHandleNotification" to ":M2D_Ctrl" (no quote)
4. do a soft reset and everything works great
now all i need to do is figure out how to incorporate Weatherpanel 2009 in this equation, any suggestions would be appreciated.

auto pinch on HD2

I remember to have read many weeks ago of a small applet or application which allows auto pinc zoom, zoom in and out (with two fingers) in ANY windows and ANY HD2 application...
I cannot find the link or the relative post (I tried several key words on google and on xda-develoeprs).
Can someone point me to the right download link or right post?
2.
Same for auto-shutdown: there must be a small application or applet which allows the device to restart, WITHOUT ADDITIONAL WARNING messages or windows.. I would appreciate if someone can point me this link too
Thanks
saulo866

Look for BSBtweaks which lets you add any program to pinch to zoom and auto rotate.

3rd question:
I used to try several "rotation applications" (to go from portrait to landscape and vice- versa) on my old HD 1. Which one in your opinion works best in HD 2?
I run this cooked ROM: 2010 10 11 3v5y Lite (NO HTC apps, bare windows appls)

thanks a lot Samuel!
and any suggestions for the second question? I mean the "shutdown now" applet which does not require any confirmation messages?
Thanks
Saulo

I'd (obviously) recommend PLToggle
You can find it in my signature.

Thanks John
And what about the applet to perform a soft reset WITHOUT any additional messages?
Thanks
Saulo

I cannot find PLToggle in your web link...and anyway I believe it is NOT for rotate the device...am I wrong?
Thanks
Saulo

thanks to your suggestions I have discovered two useful applications which solved my problems:
BsB Tweaks (for rotation and autopinch)
QuickMenu > to replace the standard icon-based menu with the original wm6.0 style start menu
Now I have a third wish: when I long-press tha OFF button a screen appears with these options
Power Off
Lock Device
Set Vibrate
Terminate Data Connection
I would like to have a new button: RESTART (or Soft Reset).
Is it possible? Is there any cab available?
Thanks

Mate - PLToggle, in my signature just below. It IS for rotating the display, but not auto-rotation. It just does it when YOU want to do it, not when you turn the device.
