Hello,
First, sorry for my English.
I'm searching for a small today application which informs me about missed call and new messages.
I used to have HTC home but I don't need all its informations.
Thanks.
rlToday and a good theme
phone alarm.
I'm also searching...is there just a simple message / mail / call Today plugin (with nothing else)?
I'd also like something like this and haven't really found anything I really like, a Simply plug-in similar to the HTC home plug-in but light on resources that displays missed calls, voice mail, txt messages, and emails, and when you click on each one it launches the application associated with it.
Use battery status with one of the many custom themes, and only choose the messaging row (free) or, I use, SPB Phone Suite, a couple of good tools and it displays all the good stuff (about $20)
Not sure if it shows missed calls, but check out HTC Plus. There are several versions floating around but this post has a picture as well as a link. You can search for HTC Plus to see if there are any more current versions.
BTW, I use Mobile Shell...it's not free but it absolutely rocks!

And there is another one earlier in the thread, think it was called BennTech Home 1.0.
OSPlus 2.3 has an option to put a last call plugin on your today screen. I used to use it and if you don't have a task manager it also does that as well. But you don't have to.
THANKS GUY BUT WERE CAN I FIND OSPlus 2.3
I was looking for exactly this too a couple of days ago. I made mine out of the bottom part of Focaldesign's rltoday skin, wich can be found here.
You just need to install rltoday, put the focaldesign in the rltoday folder, and get rid of most of the code in the skin.xml file. You'll also need to edit the todayheight and some of the x and y values in the skin.xml. I got it looking right just by trial and error.
I wrote a plugin for the Today screen called PeraCount that does just what you are asking for on a single today line. You can find it at perasite.com
bump! sorry to bring this from the dead but id like to know if there is anything plugin like described in 1st post. buttoned count of missed calls, sms, email, vmails. ive used batterystatus, rltoday, phonealarm, HTC home, MS 2 and 3, winterface, inesoft phone, phonex. they all seem to have too much that is not needed or interface is too ugly.
just want a nice simple buttoned plugin. i guess kind of like lg prada plugin but instead of having the rest of the buttons for programs and such, make it for each notification.

Ok, this is what i want.
I have my default today screen with all my plugins running. At the top(or side) must be tabs (somethings like spdpocketplus) to more than one today screen. Lets say TodayTab1 displays my System monitor and weather, TodayTab2 displays my RSS and Blogs and shedule and TodayTab3 displays my Mail Boxes and Sms's.
But spb pocket plus doesnt support this tipe of tabs or does it? Is it possible?

I use wisbar advance desktop that allows multiple desktops and speeds up the device by putting only one or two plugins on each desktop. Also allows text tabs to link you to each of the other desktops.

Look up JGUI.

Some days ago I was looking for a good today calendar plugin and got some answers from the forum, I'm still trying them but in a trial I found that Pocket Breeze (from SBSH) in it current version can actually do what you want.
This software allows to have TABS with diferent info in each one...calendar, task, notes, messages... and also, you can add your customs tabs including on it any today pluginn you have installed; that way yo can have a TAB with the weather info, or any other app you can view on the normal today screen; even the spb pocketplus you have can be view in one of the TABS if you want...
You can download a trial version of the software before buy it in order to see if that is what you are looking for...so far now I have not have any problem of performance using it..
Best regards;

Thanks Daniel! This is what i was looking for!! Works good.. Just one problem, this thing kinda slows down my phone allot.. i only have two screens set.. Dono if this is right?! Anyone willing to test on an HTC TyTn for me!?!? plz. just wana know if its slow as mine..
How quick is the actual switching?
Instant, near instant, roughly X seconds?
Thanks guys.
V
oh sorry.. from today1 to today2 about 7-10seconds. Backwords about 2seconds..
Maybe there is a regkey that can increase the memory use for this app or something to make it switch more instant like.. ??!!
That may depends what you used in today1 and today2. Mind listing the stuff you had in today1 and today2? 7-10 seconds are really slow. And, does it happen all the time while switching from today1 to today2 or does it have a cache thing that, once you did it, the next switching becomes faster.
Ok. Oh, there doesnt seem to be caching..
On today1 I have the following:
1) Date (Default one)
2) Calender (Default one)
3) Messaging (Default one)
4) IP Dashboard
5) Phone Dashboard
6) Resco Today Plugin
7) Device lock (Default one)
On today2 I have:
1) Wireless (That registry hack to display the connections status)
2) WeatherPanel ( I disabled it to test, but its still slow!)
3) Device Lock (Default one)
Well, can anyone else confirm that SK Today Commander slows down your TyTn when having 2 or more today screens?
Yes, I does seem to be slow in switching. I installed the trial version last night and only have 2 screens. I am using the buttons in the task bar and when activating a change I will see Help or contacts flash on the screen before it actually switches Today Screens. Not sure if I want to pay the money or not for the app.
try JGUI MoreTodays

Thanx @ samsonib for also testing.. Its a bummer, that app looks and works very nice, just the slowness thats the downside!
SkizZO, im downloading the app now to test! Thanx!
ok, i just installed JGUI MoreTodays! It also works, but its the same as the other one.. Its also damn slooowwww.. Dont think this device was made to handle more than one today screen.. Looks like there is no app out there that can do an instant switch to a second today screen..
I downloaded MoreTodays! and it seems to be a little faster than the Today Commander and I don't get the flashes of the help screens, etc. I guess I will play with it for the 5 free days before the trial ends before I go back to one crowded screen. Thanks.
Well I thought I had 5 days to use MoreTodays!, but this morning a message popped up saying that the trial had expired and I could only use 1 screen until I removed trial and reloaded the full version. Anyone else have this issue?
Guys,
First of all thanks to all contributors on this site.
Now let me mention that i'm not artistic at all, hence i depend a lot on all the great skinners here to make my device look neat.
My question is : I'd like to have the Tab bar disappear from HTC Home if i only have 1 Tab. Actually let's just make it disappear. Is it possible? The reason is that i just want to use the Home screen as i use other softs for Weather, Launcher and Contacts. That would save quite a bit of space on today.
If anyody has done it or knows how to do it, please let me know.
Thanks
Matt
the closest thing ive found is pocket digital clock a couple threads below... or the batterystatus theme i use in my iStyle theme

Goto post #1 of that thread and download the zip file for the original theme and extract the htc files and overwrite them in your device. You should probably disable htc home plugin first then re-enable. You might have to soft-reset as well.
Hm...all it did was make it 1 tab, it did not make my tabs disappear
i suggest you check out UltimateLaunch, ditch htchome and use a small clock or something like RLToday. I chose to use RLToday for just a clock and messages notifier
I also would like to see this. I have been looking for this for a long time.
I'm interested also.
As Michaelr219 suggested above, search for "pocket digital clock". I've been using it for a few days and it works well. It takes up less space also.
I highly recommend using batterystatus theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510
There are lots to choose from and some look much better than HTC home.
yeh, batterystatus and it's themes are very cool & flexible!!
hey everyone,
i have used the forum search and i have found a few answers to this but i want to see if there are any others that i over looked,
i so far have used Icontact, and i am using the free version of Finger friendly friends currently
I liked I contact but i dont like how it gets rid of my start and Exit bars while i am in it.
and FFF i like alot but i dont think its worth the $15 for the full version
what i am basicly looking for is a Free contact manager, that i can use easily with my fingers and still keeps my start menu and X button accessible
I use iContact, but it doesn't keep the start menu and x button accessible, but if you click on the top right, it still acts like the x button...
Use Icontact Burt Edition,
really fast and great UI.
tried PocketCM ?
Have you tried Pocket CM ? Since I have very little use for contact management, I simply use the default WM app. But I really like Image Viewer from PocketCM, and suspect that PCM's Contact Manager might also be a good app. It doesn't seem to have a start button. However, it's skinable and if you can learn the code to write your own settings.ini file, you can have just about whatever you might want. Oh, and it is freeware. Check it out, here:
http://pocketcm.com/contact.php
i had tried pocketCM and it also didnt do the start menu, but it also seemed to want to reroute all of my SMS messages into its own program rather than using the one native to the device, and i really liked the look of the
Contact manager product but i could only find the download of the pocketCM version.
i'm sorry if i am too picky for you guys, but i really just want to find the one that works best for me
I'm using iContact (Burt's edition), and it includes a configuring shortcut, where you can re-enable the default WinMo taskbar/start menu. Hope it works for you, I'm a big fan of iContact (the kinetics seem very smooth on my Vogue).
Edit: and iContactBE is fully skinnable, too, there's some very nice ones out there. Keep in mind the skin must be for Burt's edition (BE).
so i downloaded burton edition
and i must say this is exactly what i was looking for i re-skined it and its perfect, thank you all for your help
I feel this thread to be redundant. This thread basically do the same thing but with bigger success and some active modders:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507697
As we don't need two of the same threads and I feel I don't have enough time to mod and give in to this myself and not many modders have stepped in. I'm sorry. Consider this thread a good idea but the goal is now in the hands of Zepiii. To hack the hell out of MS 3.0
Good luck Zepiii
Hi,
don't think anyone has missed the amazing pre release of this sweet ap!
I'm a mod freak and there are somethings i would like to change in this prog.
like the programs "tab" only has 3 rows. i want to make this 4. anyone with a bit of experience possibly from the 2.xx series know where to do it?
the configs are simple ZIP files. Just open the DAT file as a ZIP file or rename it to ZIP.
in order to edit the file you need to put in the password which is:
b0fm18zq
Maybe we could custom tailor it and post the modded DAT files collected here. Most of the 2.xx series of mods/skins are portable with a little or no modification except renaming of some picture files (same password in 2.xx). the possibilities are endless
Please remove or correct my post if I'm violating/doubleposting something here.
Regards
/Frewys
DAT Files content:
qa_layouts.dat - This contains only XML files. 61 to be precise lots of interesting stuff! (tried to change the Iconspacing in programs to 24. didn't get my 4 icons row though )
vp_menu_btn.dat - Built in Icons
va_misc_now.dat - Built in system icons
vpw_bkg_now - portrait
vlw_bkg_now.dat - mostly contact icons landscape
va_weather_64.dat - weather Icons largest with XML file
vp_bkg_now.dat - Menu frame
vl_bkg_now.dat - same but in landscape
va_profile.dat - media player and profile widget icons
RegHacks:
adding more pages to lifestyle screen
more buttons in collected start menu
change default sms client (bottom)
Memorysaving (no reghack)
interesting links in similar spirit:
SPB 3.0 today wallpaper
SPB 2.1 skins for inspiration
Great idea. I would also love to see this!!!
Is possible to customise the theme colors that available in mobile shell 3? The existing preferences are to dark(I want a white color scheme). Can we do it by editing a dat file(which?) or a registry hack?

Hi Dancer_69,
I don't know yet. I just played around with it last night before bed. I'm just a NB in this who poked around with this great ap after not being pleased with everything and curious on what could be achived so i dont have alla the answers this is a team effort. hopfully someone with the experience or knowhow checks this. In the meantime we have to do it by trial and error. and map it all as we go along
Regards
Frewys
good to know
I have discovered that Topaz enhanced menus works great with SPB MS 3.0 activated (and Manila installed but not activated in the today screen) so so far its a necessary evil to have Manila installed until we know possible witch file or reg settings are needed.
Regards
Frewys
i'll be waiting one this, happy moddings
adding more pages to lifestyle screen
this could be good for some. Found this over at modaco.com forum posted by turborepu quote:
"add more pages to lifestyle screen.. bg image pan works fine still
hklm/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/widgets/homescreen
change "pagecount" to desired number.. i put 4. soft reset.."
supposedly its tested on 10 pages. the result is that when paned the wallpaper moves less then with three. If wallpaper size changed it will "smartfit" it to be the "correct" size.
haven't tried this myself yet three is plenty for me ATM

Hi masrterk,
I personally don't agree. i like to taylor make my GUI and of course the tastes differ. For instants.. i would like to have it pretty barebone and point to the prefered app of choice like resco contactmannager or glarm witch are the best! IMHO annyway
BUT if one could integreate them somehow that would be great if you had that choice.
right now its really easy just to link to those apps from the lifestyle screen.

Remove calendar from professional layout?
Hi guys
i am trying to figure out how to do something that we were able to do in 2.1, but has been left unoptional in 3.0. I would like to get rid of the calendar on the pro screen. All I want to see is my upcoming appointments (if I have any). I don't want the screen cluttered with a pesky grid-style calendar. I am such a nooB at this it is silly, but here I am, messing around with .dat files......
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It would be nice to create a backup/restore tool for the settings/today items/widgets/etc...
When updating the rom this would be VERY useful!
is the pre release official? where's the download?
looks good from the youtube demos
Anyone figure out the password for the DAT files yet? Seems they changed it from the 2.x releases
Great idea. I just took a peek inside today, thanks for the breakdown of what some of the .dats do.
I have a feeling we'll start seeing some custom widgets in no time.
and yes, the release is now official.

There is already one in the SPB Shell settings, click the right softkey in settings and there it is, to the left of the exit button.
I tried it myself today, completely uninstalled mobile shell before I installed the official version, loaded the backup and everything was restored in the new version, included widgets and all

I don't see the grid calendar on my pro screen anymore. On the pro settings page, choose "calendar", then change # of appointments to "as many as possible". After doing this, mine now shows the next two appointments.
So i have been searching every where for a today plugin that displays photos similar to that of the photo tab of touchflo but have found notthing so if there are any developers willing to create such a plugin i will be more then willing to donate some funds to them please help

i tried it with pix only, and it was awfully slow. any ideas on what is causing it or how to fix it?
The default already haves them all preloaded as you choose next/previous.
Mine doesnt, it loads them on the spot every 1 second.
The bigger the picture, the longer it takes to load.
If its not loaded on that second, it will only show on the next, so it takes 1-3 seconds to load each picture.
If anyone does use mine to build a new version, would need to use the color codes "cheat", so that each time it changes page, the system loads the next and previous imeditatly. Thats would make it much faster.
I wont do that for mine, because its a page-only version.
