It's the Ammar Wireless Today Plug-in

this is mine:
Ammar wireless today
Mobile Navigator 5
resco today plug-in

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.

Today plugin for Battery/Storage & Shortcuts

I've always been a user of SPB Pocket Plus, but it's a but clums to change the icons for the meters, and colour of the text on the meters often clashed with the background.
Are there any alternatives that can display meters for battery and storage, as well as custom shortcuts, or shortcuts to things in the programs menu?
I've had a go with SBSH's iLauncher, and I didn't like it. Any others?
Thanks

I use O2 plus 2.3 it will work on any Hermes WM5 or WM6, it has a small memory footprint and even though the picture of my screen does not show it you can have all that you asked displayed. Cab file below.

^^ I second, it is a good and elegant app. However if you want to go for an even MORE minimalistic approach then I would suggest PBar. It is a great app as well. Tiny footprint and it can do everything you are asking for. Albeit the memory would be in number form rather than using up precious screen real estate as a bar.
Latest version is 1.3 however most people are using 1.2 still. Do a search and you will find it. I see no reason why to repost as it has been repost a number of times already.

That seems to be pretty good. Any way to change the "i" icon, either to a different on, or get rid of it?
Thanks

Here is a newer screenshot, the 'I' is there to tap on to set which meters you want to display.

It's a bit fugly though

Check our the lastest Resco Apps - Explorer 2007 with today plugin addon.
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/screenshots.asp

Or you can go all out and go with Wisbar Advance 2 and Wisbar Advance Desktop

I can't remember which app shows a tiny battery line' meter above the title bar. I liked it and would like to have it again.
Maybe SPB which I have not re-installed after last upgrade?

Boz, in the screen shot it looks like you have been able to change the hot keys, is there a particular program you use to do this?

That's right, thanks! I had found it in between, and I really like it!
The default thickness is too high, and it's easy to change it from the settings (I put mine at 3, instead of 6)

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.

Sid

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

notification for missed SMS

does anyone know how i can make my TD vibrate when i missed an SMS/EMAIL/CALL
(and keep vibrating every 5 minutes or so untill i read the message)
???

I'm intersted in this too. Is it possible?

I am very interested to this. + 1!

great idea!
it is possible?

Phoneweaver can do this among other things. Google it, its not freeware thou.

SPB Phone Suite can do this!

Pocketmax PhoneAlarm as well...
I believe all of these are Today plugins, so you'll need something like SecondToday to run them.

Also you can try one of this application, doesn't do exactly what you need, but it's useful.
Ciao, Andrea

I'm using OS Remind Me and it's work pretty well. Here the link: http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2008/06/os-remind-me-v10.html

To get this to startup on phone start, go to program files/osRemindme, create a shortcut for the exe, then cut and paste to your windows/startup folder.

For this same purpose I have been using the alarmPal for sometime now, and now also on Diamond. Apart from vibrate, you can set reminders of missed calls/sms/email, like 1 time repeat every 2 minutes for next 3 times.

Check my signature for my solution (VibraNotify under 3 utilities)

SecondToday is not needed.
I am using SPB Phonesuite and once installed it is running in background. You can manage the setting in Start -> Settings -> System -> SPB Phone Suite. In phone notification you can select reminder for unread message and missed call in every 1/5/15/30 min and notification type (sound and/or vibrate).
Just without secondtoday you cannot use other feature like photo speed dial. And I did not notice any extra battery consumption.
((I have never tried Phoneweaver and Phonealram but if they would add the programme shortcut anywhere in the windows and running in the background just like SPB Phonesuite do, then I suppose you don't need SecondToday too))

I've just switched from Phoneweaver to SPB Phonesuite. Both can be controlled without the today screen, but I preferred SPB Phonesuite as you can set it to remind you with a tone different to the normal one. Phoneweaver reminds you too but plays the same tone. Both have automatic profiles too, which work excellently.

looking for perfect homescreen

hey guys, i need a homescreen that has a favorite people speed dial, favorite programs tab, and shows the time/date and my upcoming appts. spb is the closest,, but doesnt seem to have a favorite programs tab. any ideas? thanks

Yeah, use the SonyEricsson Panel. All the questioned items can be displayed there on one screen.

thanks for teh reply, but when i try to add a speed dial, it just closes the options menu... i tried hard reseting, no go

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.
omaralt
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.
