Calendar & keyboard & Today screen... - HD2 General

Hello HD2 world
I'm new to HTC world, previously I had an Eten. HD2 is a sexy device, yet I have some issues I would like to fix :
1°) Calendar
Am I missing a point or the HTC calendar isn't able to copy/paste/move appointments in week view or add an appointment by selecting the day in the week view ? I really miss these features.
Any way to enable them ? Or is it possible to install back the original poutlook calendar from ms ?
Also I have the 1.43 ROM, is it possible to install the 1.48 calendar which fixes the week view issue without flashing the ROM (just installing a new cab for the calendar ?)
2°) Keyboard
I really miss the feature of the ms keyboard : slide to right to add a space, slide to left to backspace, slide up to caps and slide down to enter key ... any way to enable this on HTC keyboard or revert to ms keyboard ?
3°) Today screen
I like Sense, but I miss some today plugins ... is it possible to have a Today screen embedded inside a sense tab ? This would allow to keep some today plugins and have the best of both worlds
Thank you for your help,
Nibbler.

Hello Nibbler,
did you already find any solution to your problems?
I am facing pretty much the same problems but could not find anything regarding these issues so far.
I would especially be interested in a solution for the copy & paste functionality inside the calendar.
Best wishes from Germany,
Hoss.

I can't remember what it's called, but there is a today tab for TouchFLO somewhere in the forums (it won't be in the HD2 forums, I don't think - try the blackstone ones, or just search from the root).
It may work with Sense - I don't know.

Have you successfully installed pocketCM 0.2 on your athena?
I've tried several times but I never succeed in. The installation process doesn't cause any problem but the program graphic is completely a mess. I' have tired to change the theme with a VGA-compliant one but it doesn't work well anyway. Can you explain me how have you exactely installed it? I feel kind of idiot, but i badly need a decent contact manager (and the default one, in my opinion, it is not decent at all).
HI.
I just installed PCM Contacts in my Athena. It is necessary to install in the same
directory the vga-test.zip file that can be found in the Theme section of their forum.
This version wants directly the .zip files instead of the old .ctm (?) ones.
Hope this helps.

I'm also a user of PocketCM. It just looks perfect on my Athena running with 128dpi.
It ist Important to use a vga skin (.zip file in the Versions newer than 0.15) !!
They also offer a very usable SIP (PocketCM Keyboard) that i use as a default.
Everything is freeware ans runs without any problems on my Athena.
On good thin is that PocketCM and PocketCM Keyboard can easily be set to other languages (German in my case) just by using an other skin.
Thanks to everybody. I've installed the program and the VGA them but still there are some issues. In addition of being a little slow, when I tap on the phone button the keyboard doesn't show up correctly. Can you send me the theme that works on your device?

i've got pocketcm0.20 and i basically use it for its threaded sms function...is there a way to map the hardware message button to go directly to pocketcm's sms function page instead of the WM sms page...or when i get a new message and click read or something to go directly to pocketcm's sms service?

Calender bug with month view

Hello, does anyone has the same the problem as me:
I manually set the calendar to default to month view. However when I tap on calendar in TF3D it opens it up to today's agenda. It does however start in Month view but then will snap immediately to todays view.
It is probably probably a bug from HTC (because when you disable TF3D it works, you have the month view).
I would be very grateful if any of you could help me to fix this bug.
idem here
Got the same problem. I'm currently using (ROM) SwiftBL Diamond ROM 7.5 Full [16MBPP].
Yes, it happens, with any ROM I've tried. Pretty annoying...
for the millionth time people....
A. use the search, this topic has been disgussed in at least 10 other threads¬
B. this is NOT a bug, HTC MEANT IT TO BE LIKE THIS. when you open the calender from TF3D it will always open it in the AGENDA view as the home page of TF3D is designed to show you appointments and activities for the day you are in!
Why dont you try this..
Open the calender from the Programs list and not from TF3D... it opens it in the default you have set it to right?
The only workaround is to pin the calender to the start menu or the TF3D programs list and open it from there.
NOW PLEASE NO MORE THREADS ABOUT THIS...
... AND NOW IM ONTO MY GRIPE WHICH IS PEOPLE THAT WANT TO OPEN THE FM RADIO WITHOUT THE HEADSET..... IDIOTS, WHILE THEY ARE AT IT THEY SHOULD TURN THEIR TV ON WITHOUT THE AREAL PLUGGED IN!!!
Try Dutty's rom release, he "fixed" this problem. it's bloody awesome

what a negative post...whats up with people losing their cool so easily..
personally, EVEN if HTC meant it this way, i dont find it useful for my use. I would rather open it directly from my home tab without having to go to the start menu or program list.
Maybe there is a registry tweak or editing in the manila to make it load a certain page at startup
If duttys rom takes care of it proves that its possible to be fixed

Edit TouchFLO 3D possible ???

Hi all
I am wondering if it is possible to edit TouchFlo 3D. I dont mean just changing colours and graphics, I mean change its contents. I would like to be able to edit the items that appear on it and add my own shortcuts to programs. Is this possible ?
Many thanks
That's really the whole point of the programs tab. You can add or remove existing tabs within the settings too.
I seriously doubt custom app tabs would be possible as this would require TF3D to render the app within itself.
Would be cool though if you could install custom tabs or build your own though... Not something I've looked into, anyone know if this is possible?
Tasks
Hi everyone,
Touch HD = my 1st WinMo Device. Coming from an N95 slightly dissapointed with camera and lack of group SMS but love everything else.
Is there a way to display tasks on the today screen in Touch Flo 3d?

Group SMS, you can almost certainly install a program for this! I've never used one myself but just a google search turns up a few...
First few results from google:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-group-sms.html
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/SMS/Group-SMS-56808.shtml
http://group-sms.en.softonic.com/windowsmobile
As I said never used it, not tried any of these but there will most certainly be people on this forum who can advise you better.
You might want to check out SecondToday for today screen tasks, they are not displayed directly on the TF3D today screen but are just 1 button away.

Customizing TOUCHFLO - can anyone help me?

Hi to you all...
Just got my DIAMOND and I'm thrilled with it!
I have some doubts and would like to aks your help to see them solved.
The doubts are:
1st - As anyone figure it out how to have a AGENDA "chapter" on Touchflo that could allow one to see today events or 2 or 3 days events, as if it was a Pocket Breeze plug-in...such as we have Wheather...Photos and Videos...Contacts...Definitions....Internet...Music...etc...???
2nd - Is there a software that allow everybody to change not only the softkeys assigned programs, but as well the other buttons (the home button and the other one with the arrow)?
3rd - I've already installed a brand new rom...and it's a lot faster but comes without the huge pack of ringtones...all I wanted was BIRDS2 ringtone. Can anyone tell me if I can find this ringtone anywhere?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
1) As yet, nothing has been figured out here. Sorry...You can use programs which provide a Second Today homescreen. There are two such programs: Manila Control (which is better I think most would agree), and SecondToday. Just do a search for them.
2) I don't know. I'll let someone else answer.
3) Give it a search! Or wait for God-knows-how-long.
Has anyone got any news about this???
I would be thrilled if I got to have in my tf3d a new tab with my agenda...and if I could change the assigned progrmas for the two upper button of my diamond (the home button and the arrow button)!!!!
Anyone can help me?
here is the ringtone.
it's not possible to have a agenda tab unless someone coded it from scratch i guess
for the button, u might want to try AEButton plus

HTC home on Iolite

Hi all
I have become increasingly annoyed by the Touch Flo interface. I desire Today Agenda be more accessable (finding Second Today too unweildy) am considering installing the HTC home 6 tab interface I had on my XDA 2 and which gives me all the functions I need. Is there any reason why I should not attept this?
Many thanks
Kallisti05
Maybe - but why?
Settings - Home, unselect Touchflo, U can select your favorite todayplugs.
Second today and so on U must install before.
That´s it.
Greetings
I want an HTC home type interface with Today Agenda. If I unselect TouchFlo I lose the convinient interface. If I use Second Today I lose the functionality of having everything on a single screen. Hence thinking an earlier version of HTC Home would give me everything I want. Just slightly nervous of trying to instal it without advice from y'all.
K
Maybe - when you find a download for a installable and working HTC Home
Another idea: try SPB Mobile Shell 3, it is customizeable
