The Best Home Screen plug-in

what is the the best home screen plug in! I currently and have been using HTC home, is there anything better? I have Tmobile wing!

Every time I'm suprised again when people post a question like this....
There are so much Today Screen Plugins available. There is no "best" Today Screen Plugin. It all depends on your needs.
For example, there are a lot of users here who love the IPhone interface. But there are also a lot of users who prefer something else like HTC Home or something else.

I'm using SPB Shell 1.5 and I like it so much >>>>
give it a try it's cooooooool...

I also like SPB Mobile Shell. New version (2.0) should be out soon and looks incredible. BOO
Heres a video of new version: http://msmobiles.com/news.php/7116.html

hopefully the new version will be released at the end of this month .....

dunno why you're surprised, a simple look at the user's post count (2 as of now) should explain a lot. unless, of course, he's been lurking a lot before posting, but if he was, he'd see the countless today plugins available.
Anyway, I do agree with Rhapsody, there are literally hundreds of today plugins, including plugins that support embedded today plugins (a la SPB Mobile Shell), and plugins that act as helpers for other programs (a la MortButtons)
for starters, take a look at iLauncher, TodayAgenda, rlToday, SPB Mobile Shell.... too many to list. or maybe next time, try this out

Ultimate Launcher 1.2

I love Ultimate Launch as well, really nice, and completely customizable. The ability to switch tabs by sliding your finger accross the screen just puts it over the top...

I don't think it is a bad link. I think he was suggesting the original poster search before posting. Very subtle.

UltimateLauncher 1.2
UltimateLauncher 1.2 is the best i have seen

If you love SpB Pocket Plus then you will love UltimateLauncher. It does everything pocketplus can and more on your today screen.
I use both but pocketplus is just set as a plugin on Ultimate launch so i can use the system monitor as i like the skin lol.
To be fair pocket plus does offer some good features outside of the today screen that i love so keep it installed too.

Don't take it to heart. These are the same people who think it is funny to post google.it as an answer.
i like the basic HTC home pligin although now i mostly use the fantastic pointui (pointui.com)

i'll second ultimate launcher... it has a bit of a learning curve, but if you look on page 2 of the "Question About Tabbed" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365334&page=2
you'll see a great example of what it can do... The guy even includes a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bNtHCOpZlQ
In his thread, he explains what he did, how he did it, etc... I took his post as a tutorial to UL and now have all the guys at the office using it as well.
anyways, check out his vid and his post for more info.

First welcome on board
Well you've got those who have given specific suggestions and those who have more or less said do a search there's lots been talked about previously. If you take the balance of these extremes, then you'll have a good philosophy for the Forums. i.e. Do a bit of searching and if the answers are not there then post a question.

Yeah, but relatively bloated. Some just want a small and configurable app for tabs and configurable plug-ins for each tab.
Gestures and animation for a home screen may have a gee-whiz factor, but if a tab button is present I'm more content to tap it to enter its listing, and then tap the app icon that I want to launch. I find that to be quicker and more reliable.
I'm not so interested in style. My preferences are for a small footprint and functionality.
With the addition of FTouchSL or TouchFlo, I can have basic gestures to launch apps or minimise, etc..

pointUI great freeware app!

hi,
while searching for the best app launcher i found pointUI it´s the best launcher and today screen i have seen so far, and im posting it here, because it also performs very well on our nikis cab attached. it looks great and has nice animations btw
edit: ok i forgot the cab :/ its attached now...

for a start i see no cab attached. not that it matters though because its already posted in the developement and hacking section . and yes its a great app on my niki lol

Yes, you can ask questions, but in the right place! See the FIRST sticky in this forum!
You are not developing anything, you are not hacking anything, so :/

in my experience, pocketcm is far too buggy. iContact is much nicer. I use burt edition.

RHODIUM & TOPAZ got a "themes, applications and software" SUBFORUM & we don't ???

RHODIUM & TOPAZ got a "themes, applications and software" SUBFORUM & we don't ???
Just noticed today:
Rhodium and Topaz phones HAVE A "THEMES, APPS AND SOFTWARE " SUBFORUM !!!
How is it that we don't have one ??
We have A LOT of content here, and these phones subforums have only a couple threads but they ALREADY HAVE IT !!
We NEED to sparate general questions and discussion from apps / skins / themes: this subforum has become cluttered, the Xperia is a big bang and the ammount of new threads/posts is drawning the real rich content
I publicly ask mods for a "themes & apps" XPERIA SUBFORUM PLEASE
We really need it
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS
.

personally i either don't get it

gtrab's right...
Let's support him
"Themes & Apps" XPERIA SUBFORUM PLEASE

i have also asked for this on the about-XDA section to add a section for panels and nothing has happened. The community of users are here but if there is no support from the mods and admins then there will be other forums which will be more adaptable to change!

If I've got it right there isn't any mod that can add or remove a complete topic, this can only be done by an admin.
Anyhow, judging by the time it took to get a section for the Iolite asking for new topics can take a loooooooooooong time (admins are busy???)

We don't need a seperate section for panels. There has only been like 3 custom made (or adjusted) panels by users, why dedicate an entire section to it, while one thread wouldn't even get filled.
A seperate themes and modifications section would be awesome though!

gtrab 4 president

gtrab's right
"Themes & Apps" XPERIA SUBFORUM PLEASE

I vote for this as well. Will help keep things more organised.

This make all the sense in the world we should get more sub section

Yup support gtrab.. Im getting dizzy with all the stuff from Manila, App, cab, theme all pilling up here in this section.. Messy and hard to find end up searching the wrong stuff =.=

we're jealous! we want subsections!

Yup, I'm with Gtrab....
Gimme "Panels, Themes, and Modifications" Subforum please
Apps could stay in this general section

Apps may stay in general forums.
I spent myself a lot of time searching the general Forums for some SPB Mobile Shell Panel Skins. An own "Panels, Themes, and Modifications" Subforum would be great.
A few sticky tutorials how to create Skins and co would give it the final touch .
Admin? ^^

another vote for gtrab's great idea!

We were going to add a Theme subforum for you guys when the new Rhodium, Topaz, etc. forums were added, but I think you must have been missed. Appologies.
I've asked Flar to if she'll add you guys a sub forum.

You seem to be new to the forums. Thank you for joining XDA-Developers.
Please take a minute to go over the Rules and Regulations of the forum.
Also, it seems that you are a Blue Angel owner, in which case I will encourage you to go over the BA forum regulations here
For questions, please use the search function in the site or simply Google for an answer. More than likely, your question has probably been answered before and the answer is floating around somewhere in the site. That being said, unless you are contributing to the site with either skins, roms, ports, new applications, programs, games, etc., please [highlight]do not[/highlight] open new threads. However, if you do have questions, you can post them either in the BA Q&A section or in the General Q&A section.
This thread will be closed and your post will be moved to the Q&A section of the BA forum.

I doubt it will work on a QVGA device as the omnia is probably WVGA, a very different screen resolution.

Well, if you ask whether is possible or not, I would say its possible. But no one port it.
By the way, the easiest way is to install Spb Mobile Shell.

So, basically you are just looking for the background, top and bottom colored bars, and possibly the icons? And just to be completely sure, you are not looking for the widgets engine from the Omnia, am I correct?
If I am correct, then you may want to direct your search to this thread. You may find something in there. Alternatively, you can use the search engine of the site in the Development and Hacking section. Do not open a new thread there asking for stuff or else your thread will be moved to the Q&A section.
Now, if what you are looking for is indeed the widgets engine, then you may want to look for something called FEWidgets, which in essence is a flash Today plugin application that uses widget apps made by some of the site's devs.
Netsurfz is right though. No one has bothered porting the UI (at least not that I am aware of). I guess it isn't cool enough for some people
Hopefully, this will help...
