My Vario had a t-mobile today plugin which I found veyr handy. Now I've upgraded to a qtek rom and it's not there anymore. Can anybody point into the direction of a similar plugin?
SPB Pocket Plus
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en
or
SBSH iLauncher
http://www.sbsh.net/products/ilauncher/
Are both programs to launch Applications / Phone / E-Mail etc. from the Today screen.
Tried those didn't like um. I just want a simple plugin which puts the icons on my today page without all the hoohaa.
cLaunch is pretty simple and only 90k. i think it works on wizards.
you could also use phm traylaunch or vj tray launch to launch stuff from the bottom tray on your today screen.
hmm can someone upload the t-mobile extended cabs? the today setup maybe part of that
I already did at the bottom of this thread

I am having a problem with some of the SPB products I recently bought and the Jam. It seems that it is causing a slowdown on my Jam along with the SPB Pocket Plus trial plug in. I noticed that my alarms were not always working and some time this morning, when I pulled my Jam out of it's case, it was really warm and the battery drained about 50%. Also, when I reset the device, the BT icon was missing. After I unchecked the SPB Diary plug-in, everything seems to be working better. When I reset the device, I also noticed the BT icon reappeared. Has anyone else had this problem, and is there no way to have all 3 SPB products running at the same time with the Jam? I have the latest rom upgrade. Are these programs too much for the Jam to handle correctly? Sorry if this a known issue... I checked the posts and could not find this specific issue.
I noticed that SPB Pocket Plus slowed things down on my O2 Mini (also due to 6 other plugins I run on my Today screen) and never used it since. I use PIToday which is the today plugin for PocketInformant and have a few other plugins including SPB Weather. Everything boots up fast ever since I got rid of PocketPlus.
But PocketPlus is popular amongst users but if it is an issue, get rid of it. Very easy to check without uninstalling. Go to Control Panel | Today and uncheck the PocketPlus box. Soft Reset and use your PDA for a few days and see if there is improvement
So, I really do not need to uninstall, but just uncheck the box in the Today screen settings? I really like the interface with spb pp. Do you have a recommendation that will work like Pocket Plus, but not slow down as much? Also, do you think SPB Diary and SPB Weather will work with an alternative PP plug in?
You don't have to uninstall the today plugins until you are sure you want to do so. You can just disable them by unchecking the box in the Today plugin at the Control Panel.
PocketPlus comes with a few nice fixes for the Magician like the notification (WM2003 startup fix), close active apps instead of minimising them and the safe mode but I've found better replacements for them

- not as good looking as the PocketPlus
SPB Diary and Weather are standalone plugins so there shouldn't be any issues running them without PocketPlus. I love SPB Weather because I can put the app on my SD-card. If you remove the SD-card, you can still check the weather on your handheld (just that you will only see text, no graphic icons but it's still fantastic)

Thanks joennie for the image!
what power off and restart buttons are u using that look like xp?
silly question. is that wireless plugin to show all active forms of comm manager?
thanks.
joennie, sorry for all the questions, but
*what launcher are u using?
*how does the weather app work? does it constantley need updating via GPRS? or can it be synced via activesync of wifi only?
*and if u didn't see my other question above, what power off buttons are you using and where can I get them?
thanks.
1) Omega One Battery Pack Pro (application luncher, power&soft reset button incl.)
2) Pocket weather can be updated via GPRS, or ActiveSynch, and how ofen to update, set in the configuration(5 min~several hrs)
3) I did not have any plug-in for Comm manager installed, ?? maybe this question is for Majdi...
besides, you can easily download Omegaone and pocket weather on internent, just search in google, they are everywhere. In case you can not find them, contact me again, I have the registered program and it may be not right to release here I think.
For some reason when I set this beauty as wallpaper it doesn't fit the screen completely....
it does show it's the right size etcetera but I can't get it to fit...
maybe somebody can give me a little hint on what I'm doing wrong?
Tried from the today screen settings, from the pictures util, from the file explorer... no use, all the same result.
I use the Orange Today screen, as it seems to have all the menus for the scroll wheel. I would really like to add other things to the today screen and have tried to use SPB plus, but it seems that I can either have the Orange today screen or the SPB plus desktop, not both.
What I really want is a customisable scroll wheel menu list and today screen elememnts (weather, battery life etc) all together.
Can someone suggest how I do this or what programmes I should be investing in?
SPB Pocket Plus etc
I also have a SPV 3100 and I got rid of the Orange customisation immediatly and installed SPB pocket Plus, SPB Diary, SPB Weather which is all usable with the scroll wheel. This makes the device much more effective than the Wizard.
I do not know if pocketbreeze works well with the scroll wheel, but prehaps another user can advise.
Wisbar Advance Desktop works for me:

You can add in custom skins - loads kicking around. I'm using vista and zPhone carbon black skins:

Great looking skins....maybe I have to try Wisbar!! always worried at how these affect the phone and whether things are slowed down....
I too love the look of wisbar, but i did find that it slowed down my wizard. I assume it has the same effect on the wizard?
I am working on my Today screen for my 8525 and have a couple of questions? Is there a shortcut I can create in cLAUNCH that will open the Settings\Today? If so, what is the .exe file name?
Also, how do you incorporate more than one Today screen. My main screen is getting full, so I was thinking about creating a 2nd one for Weather and other add-ons while leaving Today Agenda on the 1st screen. Is there freeware to help build this type setup? Thanks.
Regarding second half of your post see here (multiple today screens):

freeware?? not that I'm aware of.
However, lookinto the bundle deal from SBSH for pocketbreeze, pocketweather, and ilauncher

Today Screen
I saw this post. Is Total Commander Freeware? I have so much tied up in the 8525, my wife would have a fit if I started buying all of the additional add-ons. Thanks?

Check out the link I gave above for Today screens I think there was a reference to free stuff.
PS Total Commander is free.

Thanks
Thanks. I meant Today Commander or something along those lines.
hi, i'm using the standard windows today screen, i guess i'm old-fashioned but kind a got used to it. the problem with the HD is, it will only view one appointment at a time, even though i have multiple appointments on that day.
any suggestions..
For a much more powerful calender today-plugin you can try TodayAgenda (freeware) or SBSH PocketBreeze (shareware) or SPB Diary (shareware)...
which do u recommend. do they support the WVGA screen on THD
TodayAgenda runs without problem on HD res

I have invested in Spb Mobile Shell, Diary and Phone Suite.
Switching to this through SecondToday, I now have a REALLY powerful and flexible PDA.
I can see ALL my diary appointments for the next month and all birthdays for the next year. I use Gyrator to place the PDA in "lock" mode whenever the stylus is inserted, and this then also activates the "Spb Today" function, showing a really useful Today screen. When the stylus in withdrawn, the PDA unlocks itself, and a single button press takes me back to the TouchFlo Today screen.
Through Phone Suite - which I only use to configure the ring volume - I can set a better selection of ring volume, ring type (ie vibrate, ring, mute, level) and can even program different ring levels for different times of the day (eg if I am at work) or if I have a calendar appointment.
I hated the TouchFlo display at first, but now coupled with Spb (which I have to say is first-rate), I now really love this PDA.
TodayAgenda, SPB Diary
Tried installing both on my TouchHD, installation successful, but nowhere to be seen under PROGRAM? Any suggestions?
I am not sure, but dont you have to activate them under the option today (due to tha fact that both are today plugins)? I also think you have to use secondToday to use these programs.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Greetings
Ascenca
Thanks for your response. I checked under TODAY and found TODAY AGENDA. Ticked it, but didn't see it anywhere else. Checked TODAY again, and found that it was unticked. Only Touchflo3D was ticked. When Touchflo3D was disabled, only then TODAY AGENDA appeared on the TODAY screen. Is that how it should worked? And if you don't mind what is Second Today?

I can only speak for Spb Diary here, but it does need Spb Mobile Shell in order to work. Mobile Shell can easily be switched to by using SecondToday.

SecondToday allows you to have in addition to the TouchFlo a second today screen assigned to one of the two soft buttons at the bottom of the screen (above the hard buttons).
I use this with SBSH PocketBreeze - excellent app. I have also in the past used SPB Diary which also is very good.
Using secontdtoday I am now able to view my whole diary (and access all the other SBSH features) and swop back to TF3D.
TouchFlo (TF3D) will not allow you to have other today screen plugins (I think). Hence the need for Secondtoday. Search the forum for secondtoday. It also is in my recent post 30 minutes ago in the working applications thread.
