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.

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..

[July 16,2008]How Many People Want The Wizard Camera Updated????

Hello fellow wizard owners.
As we all know< the wizard's camera looks like (....) and the buttons in the UI look like they came out of the 80's or win 95.
I have figured out how to change that.
Here's the problem:
I can not find a SET of graphics that look like a set.
So I need help. If someone can help me search for graphics and post them on this thread I will update the camera.
I also want to see how many people think it is worth it to them.
It is already a lot of work fixing the images and testing and fixing... and so on.
If you think it is worth it, please post immages (size and color does not matter I can fix that) of buttons that you think would look good in the interface.
When you post, please PM me as well if you can. just so I know there's something new on the thread.
ANYWAY, THANX FOR NOTHING
Here is the link

I think that it would be a very welcome addition! Now, when we show people the Wizards camera intereface, they go-"WHOA! Your old Nokia still works? Oh...wait a sec, thats a newer phone? Wha??!?!?!?!////!?/eleven!?" heh, I for one am going to search for some buttons for you my man!

Klaxon vs G-Alarm

Those that have tried both programs; can you give me your opinion of which one has better functionality? I will receive my Diamond next week, and I am trying to decide on programs.
Which do you like best and why?
Thanks!

I had used Klaxon since its first version. I have never had problem with its functionality. I never liked the UI. The new Klaxon UI does not look bad, yet I was facing problems - too slow in some ways/screens.
I had tried G-Alarm and I had to stay with it. This alarm is just COOL. Never had any problem, and on top of all it is skin-able which I prefer. There are lot of settings too.
So I would myself recommend G-Alarm, but depends on everyone’s taste

I Use G Alarm

same here, it rocks!

G-Alarm no doubt though BEST SOLUTION for Diamond

I have a majority voting for Klaxon, but no supportive data for it. All replies have been for G-Alarm. Anyone have supportive arguments for Klaxon?

you can try them both and cut the drama. it wont kill u or yr diamond but will save precious space here...are u going to keep asking for best file manager, best theme, best backup utility, best media player....best..best...
don't u get it? each one has his opinion for his own reasons. you'll never get a definitive answer. get yr diamond and see it for yourself! that's the fun part!

My first post and I have to take issue with berating people for starting a 'What is the Best' thread.
Sure, the search function is indispensable and trying options out is part of the fun of experimentation and learning, but with so many clued up and experienced people on here, taking someone's valued opinion is also a good thing.
Why force the OP to spend hours installing and resetting or making the mistakes many of us have? Sure, he'll lose some experience, but having a Sen Member's 2 second opinion is surely going to help. It may even help other experienced people make a valued call. We can all learn................
BTW. G-Alarm.

Thanks for your USELESS post! I appreciate the opinions of other members. If you didn't want to provide an opinion, then just don't post and leave it to the others that will take a few seconds to reply. You wasted precious time with your useless reply and you could have been being useless somewhere else!

Because of this post I'm going to try G-alarm
There is nothing wrong with asking questions, when people post the answers it can help lots of people. This way there is more content to search through.
However trying stuff is the best way, but without threads like this people might not try.

Exactly. Never hear of G-Alarm until I saw this thread. So thanx for starting the thread. Downloading and will give it a try. Have tried Klaxon previously but it did not float my boat.

Klaxon. I love being able to turn off the alarm by just flipping the phone over - can't see that G-alarm has that function yet.

i gave you my opinion and i still think is good advice. no need to be rude even if u don't like it.
more ppl using klaxon doesn't mean that the g-alarm is less good, it just mean that more ppl use it. how many are using klaxon after trying g-alarm? what's sweet for one can be bitter for somebody else. try it for yourself. you'll never get a "clear cut" answer from a poll.
the only reason my post might be useless is because it was given to the wrong person. you want everything cut in pieces and chewed for you.

I was using Klaxon till now, but due to this thread I'll try also G-Alarm. What I dont see in G-Alarm (and Klaxon has it) is the Home Screen integration. After setting up an alarm in G-Alarm, the Home Screen still shows "Alarm Off". Also in S2U2, I don't see the upcoming alarm (of course, U2S2 is taking the info from Home Screen).
I don't care about having a load of ringtones played as my alarm, I usually have a single alarm tone that has the effect of waking me up...and that's all I need. Also I don't need a maze...the application is great, but it would be better (for me at least), if it'll have that integration

I dont understand what this thread is about. I hadnt heard about G-Alarm. But I tried it after reading this thread. As far I can say these 2 are 2 entirely differernt programs. Klaxon is an Alarm which utilises the G sensor but G Alarm is just an alarm like any other (I wonder what the G stands for). There is no option to stop or snooze the alarm by shaking or flipping the phone in G-Alarm. So, for its intended purpose, Klaxon remains the best

The program is well supported, looks great, and works like a charm at the latest update.
I love the vibrate feedback when you snoze.
Go for KLAXON.

c'mon man for goodness sake surely there is no harm in asking, besides it's a brilliant way of learning. I personally like the G-Alarm btw keep asking.

developers knock yourself out ? (or is it out yet ?)

Hai everyone,
Today i looked at a clip from a iphone with a great app.....
the screen looks (damned whats the word of this...) online translators says "bay"
anyway, i looked with the search option but could not find it, so when its already here i apologize...
the clip http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/348731/de1548cf/beslagen_iphone.html

Bump
This is pretty cool +1
Maybe we could integrate it into s2u2 or as a screen saver?

How the f***??? That's the perfect app for locking our screen!!!

u got my donation for this one

Wow! Can confirm this is completely SFW as opposed to a previous suggestion.

wow this is very cool.

No developer interested in this challenge ??

It's a stupid app that serves no purpose. Kind of like 90% of the IPhone apps on the market... No wonder none of us want anything to do with this crap

hahaha... imagine unlocking by this method when you want to do something fast (check what's the time, write a SMS message, check timetables, etc.)...
It would be like that:
Actual action - 1 minute
Unlocking - about three
And don't forget Diamond has no multitouch so you would have to do it with single finger. Have fun

Said by the guy who lives in Las Vegas, Romania Why does everything have to have a purpose? Life can be fun too ya know, sometimes it's good just to take time out and do "useless", fun things I think this would be fun to have on a Windows Mobile Phone, but that's my opinion.

I don't have any "bs" apps on my phone ( I have a touch Pro, if you bothered to check my signature). Maybe you do! I actually use every application on my phone for something.

What's with all the bashing in this thread? Everyone is a different user. Get over it!
This looks pretty cool and I'd like to see this on my Diamond, that's for sure...

I just find it funny that some user noobs (members and under) like myself try and stand up to NRGZ and Sergio whom both have published many apps which i currently have, and use on my phone. I side with them, they are spending their time programing way better programs for our abuse, not wasting their time for a trivial screen lock when theres a handful of locking applications out there.

just my two penneth!
this app is just plain silly useless fun! if it makes folk laugh then its worth it!

Well, you know what:
Those "very superb developers" that love to do IMPORTANT things, can do so...
But I guess, either they have a lot of time to spend (and they have already finished whatever they've been working on) or lack the skills/knowledge/etc (whatever, I dunno, I'm not a programmer/developer), so that they can come and comment very non-creatively on something that they don't value. But, it would be better if they just didn't post their negative ideas... Those, really don't help. If someone doesn't want to spend his time on it, then he wouldn't. That includes posting comments only with nonsense/crap/BS... (It would be helpful to hear professional opinions on why that wouldn't work/be coded, though)
Short version: If you push that reply button with an undeniable urge to comment on something, wait on it, it will pass. If you have something to say, it would be more than welcome. That's my motto. (I'm saying this here, because I'm sick of all the negative approach I've seen on this site... Wow, enough for moon!)
And, I would love to see that kind of app on my Diamond too.
PS: iBoobs was the same. Every guy that
a) lacked the skills to code it
b) thought he knew all better than everyone
c) just thought/felt different
d) was pretending to be a very hard business-man
shunned it, declared it was nonsense...
Eventually, hdWobble was released, and it's by far one of the most exciting apps I'd have on my Diamond.

you're not in the position to say if someone likes a theme or not. it's your choice if you like an os or not, but stop posting useless comments.

Why can't people post useful comments instead of posting ****.
To the OP, the app you are looking for is iPhoneToday
