I am not a big fan of weather forcast but I like having my news/rss/podcat.. with me.
I they a tweek to change the weatherforcast tab on the touch homepage and have rss news (some thing like newsBreak or Spb Insight).
Thanks for any help

htc touch cruise (3 weeks...)

That's a great idea but I doubt it's easy to accomplish. There probably a bunch of .dll's in the HTC Home screen that would have to get edited and some kind of a RSS engine would have to get implemented. But I think HTC should consider this in their next renditions of their now famous plug-in.

Htc Weather Standalone Plugin Cab Possible

Is it possible to make a cab just for the htc weather only? I would like to install just the weather app as a standalone today plugin rather than the full htc home. Thanks
May not be the perfect solution but why not just disable all other tabs in the today settings. Then it only displays weather?

I'm trying to avoid having to install the HTC home to begin with because it coflicts with my customized today skin... Im assuming this is already a dead issue since I couldnt get any answers. Thanks for the effort
I would love to have HTC Weather as a standalone program for my XPERIA
I would pay a resonable fee, to get this done.
Thank you,

Show appointments on TouchFLO3D today screen

Hi,
I am still a bit confused about whether to get the Xperia X1 or the Touch HD. One concern is the possibility to show appointments on a today screen without getting rid of the user interface (i.e., I do not want to shut down or remove TouchFLO3D).
What I need is a possibility to show appointments not only for today, but for a user defined timeframe - like 1 week or a couple of days - in advance. In fact, right now I use a combination of the HTC homescreen with TodayAgenda 1.5 on my WM6 device. I like to switch on the device and see the actual time/date and all upcoming appointments without having to switch to a today screen, i.e. immediately. However, I am looking for a solution to integrate this into TouchFLO. I know that it is possible to have the "normal" today screen on HTC TouchFLO3D devices and use TodayAgenda.
Is this possible with TouchFLO3D on the Touch HD? (I expect that with such a screen size it should be possible to show many appointments without scrolling ...)
Eriol
Yeah man.. I would like to know if that is possible as wel.. on my diamond with SkippyCentraal ROM(NLD)
I did some tweaking with the software from here, but did not find a sollution yet on how to get more than 1 appointment showing on the today screen with Touchflow on..
Wow, thats sad ... if we cannot show appointments in TouchFlo3D
I just cannot believe this kind of limitation ...
I own Kaiser and I have never use TouchFlo ...
I also used TodayAgenda 1.5 and loved it on my previous phone. It was the bast app ever (for me) to be able to see all my appointments for next 30 days as soon as I switch the phone on. Shame we can't combine this on touchflo 3d as I dont want to disable it as it is what makes it different to other win mo devices.
Come on community. Let's crack it!
personally i dont like touch3d at all, it's slow, i prefer to use ultimate launch to have 2 or 3 today screen, and u can scroll each one using ur finger for example: i have 3 screens, one for today, with time and day, one for appointment(using agenda) , with any number of appointments u want to display in the screen!!!, one for applications icons( iphone style arrangement).
hope this may help!

If you tweak it (and maybe change to another ROM), it will work perfect for 95% (speed is good)
But the not showing of appointments (only 1) is sad... and there has to be some of u super tweaking guys who can fix this
X1 Panel allow u to customize the # of appointment showing on the panel
not sure if Touch 3D on HD is able to do so.
Well, maybe someone who has already got the HD can tell us ... this is really crucial to me. In the Raphael forum someone suggested to de-install TouchFlo3D ... that is exactly what I do NOT want to do, because I like TouchFlo3D otherwise.
In fact, HD screen should be big enough to show everything AND the upcoming appointments for the next 9 days or so ... Isn't there someone to figure out?
With Xperia X1 you can easily switch to a today screen that shows these appointments, you can even install TodayAgenda on the original today screen, without the need of removing the panel functionality.
There is an application called SecondToday that adds a 2nd today screen and is reported to work well with Touch Diamond. I wonder if this would be a suitable solution for Touch HD as well ...???
Eriol
I think this has been requested from the beginning of touchflo3d. I cant belive that HTC can fix this. I use the calendar every day and think its one of the major apps in WM. But HTC keep ignoring the calendar, there isnt even a tab for the calendar in touchflo3d.
If anyone know a nice integrated calendarsolution in tochflo3d I am very intrested.
Is this TouchFlo 3D cannot be disabled? Or replaced?
Hi folks
I think its about time for my first post in this forum.
Since HTC catched my attention with the HTC Touch Diamond I often visited this forum. Now I finally decided to purchase a HTC device too. I will go, like many of you, for the HTC Touch HD.
But enough of OT chat...!
As MEE I am also looking for a solution to display more appointments on the homesreen or in a new TouchFlow tab (if passoble).

No, unfortunately not. The Touch HD manual sais (on p. 67): One all-day appointment and up to two timed
appointments can be displayed. Touch this area to create, edit or view an
appointment. (See “Calendar” in Chapter 12 for details.)
This is not at all sufficient!
Anyway, this might be of interest for us (in German, though): Howto: Add a normal Today screen on TouchFlo3D
Someone here to try this on Touch HD?

This is interesting ! Please if anyone can test this and probably creates an english how to

A Today Screen clone would be one option to gain access to today info, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401907
But with our large HD screen space more flexible plugin spaces, for example x number of appointments, would be prefered.

Definitely - I agree. But is it possible to add plugins into TouchFlo3D? X1's panels are rather independent, so you can add or delete them like you want to. In TouchFlo3D, the question is whether you are bound to what you have - or whether you are flexible as with the X1. I read in a X1 thread that they even think to add TouchFlo3d as a panel!
I hope we (or HTC: do you hear us???) finds a solution without the need of porting X1's OS to the Touch HD.

Hope the opposite is possible too (Panels on the Touch HD)

I would prefer a solution without the panels. The issue (showing appointments) is rather simple compared to installing the whole panel app to Touch HD. The latter might be a good project, but generally I hope we find a solution with less impact on the phone (I will use a company device, and I know that our IT guys will attack me if I start installing different ROM's or lots of programs that are not supported).

As a suggestion, is there any way to interface Spb into TF3D? Spb shows LOTS of forthcoming appointments, and its Today screen is so programmable to user requirements.
Would there be any practical way to use this on the Touch HD? (Even Xperia has this now!!!)
I plan to turn off TF3D (is it possible with Touch HD???)
And use something else, probably SpB Mobile Shell .... ???
Unless, yes, if we can enable "Today" application in TF3D !
I have a touch hd, you can disable the TF3D under the "today" preferences.

Some questions and problems with Touch HD :)

I got my Touch HD a few weeks ago and I must say its a helluva upgrade from my old Qtek 9100 :up:
I have a few questions/problems here:
Im used to using Today Agenda on my 9100 so I wonder if there is a way to edit TF3D so I can see lots more calender days on the home screen of TF3D? I also wonder regarding this, I would like to edit the TF3D home screen so its more optimised so the calender takes most of the space. Or is there a way to get Todays Agenda to work with TF3D? Im really missing all my calender stuff cause it isnt shown days in advance.. Damn I missing lots of birthdays since I got the Touch HD =)
Another question, is there a way to get the TF3D task manager icon in the right upper corner always show? Now it only shows now and then, would be much faster/effective if it was always there (aside from fullscreen programs that is)
I would also like to be able to remove the Operator information at the top of the TF3D home screen, it just feels unnecessary and just takes away space from my "want to be there" calenders
EDIT: got some new questions now
I cant get email to work, I type in my login information for Windows Live, the same as I always use when I logon Messenger and Hotmail and they dont work in the Live in the Touch HD, what can be wrong?
I want to be able to hear digital radio stations and I cant get anyone to work. Since the built in radio SUCKS, very hard to get a decent quality so I want to listen to swedish radio on teh intarweb instead
I tried different kind of streaming, none works :/
here is a few Ive tried:
http://www.sr.se/sida/artikel.aspx?artikel=2260956&programid=2321 (swedish Im afraid)
http://www.di.fm/
www.htchradio.com
Ive tried Coreplayer, Built in Media Player and Streaming Media. I cant get it to work... Anyone got any ideas?
Anyone? Seems like everyone else gets all their streaming stuff working
noone to help with more calender days on the home screen of TF3D? It's really a big issue to me.
same for me! Thats a big part of having a smart phone /PDA, that you can have full control of your calender and see in 20+ days whats happening...
Try "Second Today" for "Today Agenda"
I used the "Today Agenda" program before
and it's a good software.
To keep using it, I install "Second Today" program
for it. It helps to enjoy the pros of TF3D & "Today Agenda"
AH perfect! It works like a charm :up:
I can finally have lovely Todays Agenda and with another wallpaper to! :drool:
Thank you very much for suggesting this

Looking for a today plugin launcher that allows...

Hi there all, I have been searching for a good today plugin type launcher... one that just sits on the today screen as a plugin but allows me to access and launch programs and apps in much the same was as HTC home did for my TyTN II...
I have at the moment on my today screen
the standard clock/date bar *
calendar *
message bar *
newsbreak *
tomtom
skype
home ++ *
the google search plugin
and finally spb wifi/gprs/data counter *
I also use and love the S2U2 and would like to keep this
Can anyone help me out with a good launcher that doesnt suck battery or memory and can incorporate all the above (leaving the items with a * next to them visible)... I have been looking at ultimate launch, iLauncher, pocketbreeze and a couple of others but still cant make up my mind or figure out a heck of alot just looking at the pretty pics on the screen... advice would be greatly appreciated... many thanks in advance...
having moved from the tytn II as well, i decided that i couldn't really beat my old setup and just went with htc home on my x1.
i tried a few other launchers and couldn't find anything to beat it. i have bound Launch Manager to a double-press of my left softkey to access the rest of my apps quickly ...
i'm using the vga version of htc home called PJC HTC Home. it was acting a bit strange when i first installed it but it works flawlessly now ...
Can you access the weather on it? and are all the other functions fully functioning now? I found there were a few hiccups with HTC Home... I did have that on at one stage and I do like it but the weather bug and lesser functionality was a bit of a downer for me...
it works perfectly.
there was a bit of a lag when switching to landscape initially but it either fixed itself (?) or i re-installed it and it worked perfectly.
the weather thing was fixed by a regedit - i think the timeout had to be increased to get the weather to work properly.
the only think that didn't seem to work was the music tab but i use s2p instead now so that's cool.
Ok I might give it another shot... many thanks for your advice...
the Big VGA home from the x7510 works as well (see the athena sections).

I also forgot about this one..

Fards... helpful as ever, you are a star thanks mate... will try all these in the next few days... many thanks...

can't remember trying on the x1.
Shouldn't be that hard to get working if not, especially if you have audiomanager installed.

TouchFlo Basics

I've recently upgraded from a Hermes to a FUZE and am playing with the TouchFlo plugin. I am not very familiar with it, but it seems like it has potential. Is there a page/ thread of 'basics'? (some customization details, installing new themes, etc.) I don't want to start creating my own - just yet (but that would be an obvious next step). My biggest request is for there to display more calendar entries at a time.
Thanks!
hmm...
well if u simply click on
Edit TF3D-The Collection! ot themes applicationa and software..it gices you quite a good amount of stuff..
other then that just search it
the calander problem you have can be fixed by downloading the calender tab which will implement it into yout touch flo 3d...SEARCH for the cab..
hope i helped!
