anyone have a speed dial app..

...that show the keys on Today screen and who they are assigned to?
i always setup speed dial on every new phone then forget what they are

Use the picture dialer. There a long thread in these forums.
If you dont want to use pictures you can configure it to just have buttons and names.

duh -found it! - thanks
is there any easy way to get the small pics and have them in a horiz bar on today screen?
sorry, not really a question to you - i'll read the complete thread

The author of PQz wrote a screen dialer.
There's the Palm dialer.
And I use claunch and VJSMS etc.

That is just MY skin. You can skin rlToday any way you like. One icon, with ot without calendards, etc. You really should have taken a moment to learn about rlToday.
I have all that on my screen because I setup rlToday to show all that. I don't think it's what you really want but you can even have a whole today screen with nothing but an icon for missed sms and an icon for missed calls.

How do you add a shortcut to "Shutdown" or "Stand-by" on Ultimate launcher? I know there's a series of parameters you need to put in order to achieve this. Any help will be appreciated!

I use vjDeviceLock. In UL you can have gestures (slide up or down) that launch programs. I use a down slide to launch vjDeviceLock. It locks my device and powers down the screen with one swipe of my finger.
In UL click change for one of the tabs. You should see 3 tabs across the top. Open the Gestures tab and set a program to run on a gesture.

Thanks for the info man, it is definetly an alternative to what I'm looking for. However, I was leaning more towards having a "Power Off" button and linking it to "stand-by" once you click on it.
If anyone knows the string needed to achieve this please let me know.
Thanks

kdash do you know where can I find those icons for 'Power on' and 'lock'?
thanks

All your Contacts? Or just some of them (e.g., Quickdial)?
If you just want key contacts for quick access, there is a cool product called Face Contact by CNetx that might work. If you want ALL contacts, I have not seen one....

Yeah, I have been thinking about this too, would be great if iContact could be made into a Today Plugin. I will pose this question in the icontact thread.

Try SPB Phone Sweet. I know you have to pay for it but there are plenty of places were you will be able to find it below one penny if you get my drift, I just cannot post them on the site. SPB Phone Sweet will allow you to post picture contacts, up to 15 I believe on the Today Screen. Really good function program which I used in conjuction with SPB Pocket Plus but have since then moved to SPB Phone Suite. Good luck.

first... thx for the answer´s and sry about my English
So i really looked for a today plugin who show ALL CONTACTS, like icontact i have now Facecontacts, thats great but i can only show a few contacts or all with many work... spb.... hm i have ultimate launch if i use spb too my kaiser will be slow i think.... so lets search another one

I wrote it in BURT thread...
I got UL too and in combination with spb phone suite there is no problem. My HTC touch is slower

ok but i think this have to look so:

Even I am looking for such thing from quite a while now.. but without luck.. I am trying to search or develop something which can integrate programs like Icontact/PCM image viewer to today screen.. Something like we can see in HTC Diamond but with less memory usage.. There are prgs like Throttle Launcher which does this, but heavy on memory.. consumes like more than 10 MB.. Anyone has any idea on how can we achieve this..

try this
you can use face contacts, its the best looking contact plugin available. and it scrolls like s2p cover flow (but smoother)

if u read u will see.... i use this.... but its not so good i think

As I've mentioned in Icontact thread
use one of your softkeys to invoke Icontact, or use Mortbuttons - you can assign one in today screen with Icontact and other phone app inside

Again Pisca, how does this establish a today plugin

1. not only icontact, any software what can do this, but in the today screen.
2. if u can look on my today screen? NO SoFTKEyS

I have set Spb Diary to show photo contacts on the Today Screen and it works out great...

See post in Icontact thread

You can also use DialTab.

Everything listed here are the best options. Trying to fit all of iContact as a plugin on your today screen eliminates the app itself. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Perhaps "Ineosoft Adressbook". You have a bar on the todayscreen, like the HTC Random Access and then the adress is popup. Have a look on it.
Or we can make a shortcut to HTC Random Access for the today screen.

i am currently playing around with my own made C# picture dialer that is displayed as a today item (very early beta i might add ). it enables a user to see pre defined photo contacts (which is of course nothing new).
as with most photo dialers, a long (2 second) press on the photo dials the number that belongs to the contact. (it also has an option to assign two numbers to one photo contact, which i find very usefull, eg the first number is dialed when you press the photo for two seconds, the second number is dialed when you press the photo for four seconds.)

Contact tab on my Today Screen?

Hi guys, I have searched and searched but cant find.. Is there a prog that can fix so I can have lets say five contacts on my today screen? So I just tap them and either get some options, sms or call up. Or it just calls them up.
Hope u understand what I'm out after =)
Of course I mean the today screen with the TF3D disabled =)
Thx

If you are looking for an appliacation without TF3D, for a normal today application then try SPB Shell.

You can also add Contact's pictures as a quick shortcut on the main screen of SPB Pocket Plus.

I have used nearly all of SPB applications, and they are absolutely professional.

You can definately use it with "2nd Today", I am using SPB Traveller with 4 different clocks & VOIP on the normal Today Screen.

I run SPB Mobile shell, it's not active as a plug-in, I can still use the slide move from "Start" tho ( 15 extra fav contacts and stuff ), and by using Fantastic Bytes Softkey Manager 1.1 my right softkey is set to SPB contacts, works like a charm

Hmm, it's working fine for me. I don't use the quick dial icons but I just tried it and I have no problem. Just added the quick dial I wanted to the program shortcut-list and pressed OK.
When do the options menu close -when you choose a person for quick dial or sometimes else?

I would just use the spb panel and edit one of the menu icons there to be your 'most used' programs

I just want to make sure that you realise that it takes a few moments for the Sony Ericsson screen to update after you make a change. If you've hard reset before the panel has updated, you will have over ridden the changes you tried to make.
I've added a couple of programmes and three speed dials to the Sony Ericsson panel to test it out, and it works fine.
This is the panel with the smaller calendar and clock, not the panel with the larger calendar and clock.
I cannot seem to get more than five shortcuts to show on the screen, however. Not sure what's up w/that because there is clearly room for 10.

^^^ Two SE panels are just identical, they show a big clock only when there's not much on the screen.

Just be sure you have FREE blocks when adding new items!

You have to set up the rows you want the shortcuts to use too.
If you set 2 rows, there are 10 shortcuts.
PS. As mentioned before, the two SE panels are the same.

I use these to get all the things you want:
- Pocket Digital Clock
- (SPB Weather)
- SPB Phone Suite
- Pocket Breeze (really good)
| - SPB Pocket Plus : as a slide away tab in Pocket Breeze
| | - Some other today plugins as tabs in Pocket Plus.
| | - Favorite programs as tabs in Pocket Plus.
Try them out (Pocket Plus and PocketBreeze), they all have trials.
Oh, and I can NOT recommend SPB Diary, it is much slower than PocketBreeze.

soudns you like a mix of several things, so you could make your own in WAD or search through dev&hacking for some of the many options there are.
There's some absolute corkers around..

sounds exactly like the probem im having. You just press the + in set speed dial thing and it just closes up and shows the error report thing.
Im not sure what the problem is, and i never use the speed dial anyway so it doesnt really concerns me..
But i do curious for an answer though

When I first acquired my X1 I faced a similar dilemma. I tried various panels eg SBP and TF3D and got them set up to do what I wanted, but none had all the features I required. My main requirements were...
Had to be finger friendly
Speed Dials readily accessible
Favourite programs readily accessible
Toggle bluetooth on and off quickly
Show upcoming appointments
While browsing through these threads, I stumbled across mention of the iFonz interface. Its a copy of the iPhone. Check it out. I think you'll like it.
