I've searched through tons of themes and seen some nice stuff, but haven't been able to find what I am looking for. I am trying to find out how to display more agenda and task information on my home screen, along the lines of a SBSH Facade for smartphones. Is this even possible within tf3d, or do I need to ditch it all together and pick up something different for a home screen?
i never use agenda thing,i go tradition.
i like to write all my notes (to-dos) in Phatpad,then put Phatpad shortcut in the desktop which you can access it in one click.
From time to time I will check all the notes. and know what has been done,and what are coming.
it's traditional way,but it's working for me, forget about agendas etc etc which you have to pin them in calendar etc. annoying.
I already have the ability to jump into pocket informant to check my schedule and tasks. I just want the ability to see more of that information displayed on my home screen. Is the home screen information open for adjustment at all?
upgrade to manila 2.5, it has the option to add shortcuts on the home screen in touch flow
how do i upgrade from
2.1 to 2.5. I have a Tilt 2 2 weeks out of the box.

I have no idea what this means other than something to possibly do with themes.

try the point UI. combined with pocket cm. it will change the "feel for your phone". As for the cube its more of a novelty and its fun to show friends what the phone can do, but i couldnt get all the functions/buttons working with any of the versions.

Ok I got SCLPF 1-62 Uno working my only question is how do I make the touch more sensitive I can scroll perfect with my stylus but not that good with my finger. And Is there a way to add programs like icontact or HTC Album in HTC CUBE icons.
Installed HTC.Home.v2.1.1005.722 on the i760
I have it check in my today screen list, but it doesn't appear. Any ideas?
its a .dll you need to drop into your windows dir.
Search for HTC HOME + .dll
where is this home dll?
I download / installed JUVS HTC Home.v2_1_1005722_s0
description said it should have a dll, which it doesn't
Other Options...
May not be exactly what you are looking for, but this is what I use:
Ultimate Launcher
Battery Status
Weather Panel
HTC Dialer
PocketCM
Then I create custom today, HTC Dialer, and PocketCM themes to make the look and feel the same for all screens. Take a peek and some of the screen shots in the pshades link in my sig. It isn't iPhone, it isn't Cube, but it is finger friendly, clean, and consistent.
Got it working.
How do you change from C to F for the temp though?
Battery status, that a plugin for HTC?

Without a doubt, try Wisbar Advanced Desktop latest beta. It is fantastic. It allows complete customization of the today screen to make it look exactly like the iphone if you desire. It is also very fast, it allows virtual pages, custom notifiers, etc. I have an iphone-like theme that has for instance a link to a picture speed dial page, weather virtual page, etc.
I'm currently using UltimateLaunch (don't know how many times I've suggested it since the purchase), it's amazing a very easy to customize, check out the sticky post. Or you could use poorlyduck's Vista Suite.
i have a question, i downloaded ul and i am trying to figure of just how you get all the info on different screens so i can use my finger to change screens.
thanks
I just wondering why there are so few application dedicated to calendar that are finger friendly, except for OTO i cannot find anything else
I really wish to control my cruise with just finger except when I have to do particulary task like setting and so on
I second that! OTO isn't going well for me either, can't really say why, but don't like it.
I pretty like OTO, but homepage is down and this version is like more to a plugin than a standalone calendar, actually u cannot see in OTO appointment or task but just create a new one, and imho is better than nothing, beside that I know at least 6 different finger friendly contact application some free some to buy, but neither 1 calendar finger friendly, I wonder if is so hard to program than contact one or if no1 like to use finger for everyday tasks
I use OTO a little but I mainly use VoCalendar. On first install looks like puke but has a very skinable interface and you can add / Edit appointments and in Moth view its easy finger friendly and desplays custom icons for you appointments...
Only thing lacking is load time really.
It would make a great platform idea for a new more modern application.
My 2 pence anyhow
I have been using it for nearly 4 years now! I will dig out a screen for you!
MM
VoCalendar Screenie.
Everything you see except the bottom grey bar is skinable!
Icons, Wallpaper, Headers etc!
MM
Thanks!!!
Seems pretty nice, but add a new event (specially time) is finger friendly?
If you press and hold it pops up a menu where you add an appointment.
You can pre-program types of appointments so times etc are already set. However if you want to edit them it just pops the normal windows mobile edit feature... pants part i guess.
But if you have pre programed stuff then it will auto display the right icon and set the right times.
This combined with OTO would be perfect but as we know its not a perfect world lol!
MM
Thanks again, it's not a perfect world but I still hope some1 soon or later wants to take the hard task to program a nice ff calendar, we have tons of contacts ff yet so I guess many of us will looking for it =)
Have you guys seen the new Pocket Informant v8? It has an option for "touch mode" and it allows native scrolling in most places without the need to have an htc touch or FTouchFlo.
Nope, do you use it? is it easy to set up or just blowtware? Can you add custom icons?
MM
Ok I have tried for about 1 hour, is a wonderfull agenda but far far (notice double far ) away from being finger friendly, what I mean for finger friendly is similar to Oto or that 1 for iPhone (check it here)
To be honest, I tried the touch flo 3d, the home 2, but the only thing I like is the normal, clean windows mobile today screen i like it, its neat , organized, and the xperia wallpaper gives it an elegant look. I alos modified the left menu key to initiate a new sms
what do u think?
I like it's neat clean look, but I prefer using the SE Today Panel.

Same here, a big fan of Winmo Today screen. When I jumped ship from Palm OS to Winmo, the Today screen really makes me forget I ever had a Palm OS device... Although the fond memories of rock hard stability creeps out now and then.
Currently Using itje's incredible Touch-IT v4.5 ROM. The Touchflo is nice, but more of a gimmick then anything else... Give me plain old Today screen anytime.
It just seems easier on the Today screen, that's why I have a lite rom installed, along with TF3d and panels.
I tend to always end up back at the default today screen. Something just nice about it.
Yeah I use it all the time now as it seems to be the most customisable without being fiddley and does all I want it too... I would like a today that is a combination of several of the panels but so far have found nothing that I like more than the normal today...
i use the today screen as my default screen when at work as i like to be in control of how many appointments are displayed, reminders, etc. it's nice to be able to switch to another panel for the weekends though ...
i'm a bit concerned about some of the screenshots for wm 6.5. does the today screen still exist ?
The standard Today just works. Give you access to what a PDA is for, PIM. There is a plugin called TodayAgenda which makes it perfect though.
glad you guys think the same way
btw, any idea how to make a shortcut for the start button? I downloaded a program, H button, that enables me to long press a key and a program comes up... but i want to access the start menu that way

Are you trying to assign a hardware key to Start Menu? If so, go to Start>Settings>Buttons
All this talk is making me want to use the Today panel more! I just tweaked it a little bit and I'm going to give it a try next week.
Does anybody know of a way to get more programs on it? Skype is on the list, and I think TomTom is, but I'd like a couple others.
I need to use the today screen to see the G-Alarm plugin, how much Internet traffic I had this month (SPB Wireless). Also I find it very convenient to use Elecont Dialer (a scrollable row of contacts to call or sms) and Elecont Launcher (a scrollable row of apps).
So I usually end up using it, even if SPB Shell is more touch-friendly. It just doesn't display all the information I need in one screen.
I always seem to go back to the spb panel as my default. its simple and looks clean i think compared with tf3d and point ui. im hopeing that when the new 3.0 shell comes out that it wont replace the spb x1 panel (although i know it will).
I've tried all the panels, shells etc. You name them, I've tried them. As said before, the Touch-IT v4.5 ROM is nice, but gimmicky. I admit I've installed it, but only to get GPS tagging of photos. I untick it in Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items immediately after it's installed.
I appreciate all the work that's gone into developing it, but its way too busy for me
My preferred interface is iFonz 2. The interface can be as simple or as 'busy' as you like. I prefer to have just a few icons of the programs I use regularly on screen as well as icons for the frequently called contacts. Also its very finger friendly.
For the programs that I use infrequently, it's no hassle to find them in Start -> Programs, and contacts are easy to find in iContacts

Hey friends, I'm with you. I think the today screen is one of the best inventions of Microsoft and is really underrated. It just makes sense to have active plugins share the most precious place on a mobile - the information screen after switching the device on. I think the iPhone is ridiculous in this regardö - just showing icons of the programs that can be launched is lame. Also, there are really powerful plugins available for Windows Mobile. I'm personally using the built in date/time and messages plugin together with PocketBreeze for all the organizer stuff and PocketPlus for system status (battery, memory), finger friendly app launcher and additional plugins as tab (spb weather actuall). Then I use the system tray as quicklaunch and for showing the currently selected phone profile from PhoneWeaver and my softkeys start Contacts and WM5NewMenu, with which I can very quickly place a new appointment, SMS, Email, Note and so on. With this setup, I can really use the device, not only play. Everything is just one or two clicks/actions away and I always have a good overview of what's going on.
I really don't understand why so many people want a better iPhone instead of a good Windows Mobile device. Windows Mobile has drawbacks but also strong points, of which the today screen is one of the strongest I think.
I am also a big fan of the Windows today page. I think it's the only one that can be entirely adapted to everyone's need, all other software are nice graphically, but not as effective as a well prepared today page.
Hi,
is there any way to integrate Pocket Informant (agenda view) on the Toch Flow 3 D , maybe by clicking on the calender (so that PI opends in agenda view)?
This really depends how touchflow works.
There are 2 ways. Touchflow can adress the default calander, or the actual program. In previous releases, it adressed the actual program. So big change this will be the case again. Also, from what I've seen, the only way to still open the agenda is installing a 3th party calendar.
When you launch the standarrd Calander app, it will redirect you to the touchflow 3d calender tab. I have to say it's irritating to see that there is no option to go to the real agenda.
As for pocket informant, when you install it you can work with it. Everything you fill in there will come into the regular agenda, en thus also in touchflow 3d.
I expect you won't be able to launch pocketinformant from the touchflow agenda.
(it's upto the pocketinformant developers to decide if they release a tool that integrates with touchflow 3d, but it probably will be the XDA people who will make this possible. Hopefully, with a single program instead of a full rom
I base this information on video's I've seen and past experiences with touchflow. (So haven't had the device in my hands yet)
Another simple option (till we could have a solution)could be to programm a hardware butten in order to open PI agenda view (subject there is any button left /available on the Touch Pro 2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493810
Helps?
I am not 100% sure if it is TF3D2 compatible.
But in TF3D you (on my PRO) you can then use the srings of the shortcuts of PI to alter the links...
Hope it helps.
Can you rotate the screen whilst on TF3D?
Like so when im typing a text, its sideways (Landscape) and not long ways (Portrait)?
When o nthe internet it does it auto when I turn the phone.
Its a standard HD, no roms installed.
Yes you can, and plz use search.
There are many many ways to do this on the hd. you just need one of the rotation programs (changeScreen, gyrator, gsen....).
Again, plz use search before posting.
Topic Creator,
You can use programs like Changescreen to do what you want. I'd recommend this program as it seems very good and user friendly. However, if you want a more normal hands on approach, you can even use AE Button Plus, or heck, make a mortscript to do it for you.
However, after testing on my own HD, you can't really flip the the TouchFlo HOME screen as it'll be all funny and weird. I'm guessing you'll need a custom ROM like Dutty's to be able to do that.
Cheers.

To clarify that, in order to flip 'home screen' or any of the manila tabs, you need manila 2.0 or higher which supports landscape. Manila 1.0 (which is stock on all stock ROMs) does not support landscape mode. However, you will still be able to rotate the sms/email to landscape (without flashig the ROM) through one of the programs as they are not part of manila. (As noted, it is also possible to assign rotation to one of the 'hardware' buttons instead of using the gyrator/accelorometer.)
