Simple launcher app for today screen (large icons) - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi guys,
I'm looking for an aps for my today screen that will simply have a few icons that i can customise to launch my most used apps.
I've tried cLaunch and Launch but both arn't suitable.
Any other ideas?
It needs to be simple, i dont need all the extra bloat, just a basic app launcher with largish icons.
Cheers in advance

i am assuming you are not using tf3d as there is a quicklaunch tab on there?

What does your today screen look like on the JasJar?

heres mine..[/img]
Those icons are beautiful! Are they standard or have you added them from somewhere in a 3rd party launcher app?
Think I might have to get me one of dem new-fangled Universal gizmos...
The Today application is called iLauncher 2.2

You need to use iLauncher 2.2 for the icons to be picked up:

to get the top battery bar enabled u have to goto iLauncher Settings then Options then select what u want at the top,in this case Today Screen Meter Bar.

Is there a slimmer HTC Home?

Hey guys,
I love the functionality of HTC Home. However, I wished that the clock part of HTC Home is slimmed down so that there is more space for the today screen?
Is there any fix or alternative software that can please this soul?
Thanks

wisbar advance desktop...
its great, basically its a launcher that replaces today, but you can embed today plugins in it, so you could make the clock with a small font, then icons for the home tabs underneath, which correspond to programs, or docks, which arer small boxes that appear which have more shortcuts in them..
just a suggestion

Does it have a section for fast contacts ? I've seen phoneAlarm, has most of the stuff except the contacts part. That's what I love because when I'm in the car its easier to make a call.
hotplainrice,
I must admit I don't use the home plugin as I find it rather crude in its look and function. I use a combination of SPB Pocketplus, SPB Mobile Shell, and their telephony plugin (can't remember what its called but checkout their website). I must admit my device is highly customised; however I like it just the way it is.
Have tried to use Wisbar but found it a pain to get the look and functionality that I have been looking for. However I have seen a lot of good stuff on the Wisbar forum so please keep an open mind.
Cheers

yer erm you can make docks with contact pictures, so ive got mine set up to look like an iphone, ive got the phone button which goes to phone, or opens the dock with favourite contacts, then ive got sms, lock/internet, media player and finally my programs dock. And in my programs dock, i have a link to another page on WAD [it can have many pages] which has all my windows today plugins.. so has speed of the iphone and the functionality of windows.. so to answer your question, it does have easily accessible contacts, but you have to customise it yourself..

I once used HTC Home Plugin, but troubled with the weather panel, so I uninstall it, and imo, the closest app to HTC Home plugin is SPC Mobile SHell 1.5 + SPB Phone Suite. Closest to intersface, yet more powerful ability...
just like those two guys, i use spb programs... when i said i had today plugins on a seperate page, i meant i have spb pocket plus 4, with diary and weather integrated into it..
spb programs are great
and wisbar is a pain, but once its done, it works perfectly

There is of course the other HTC app "HTC Plus!" Clock, shortcuts and links to message folders without taking up the entire screen. Doesn't have the weather functionailty or music player control tho
rltoday has a skin that is like HTC Home but is slimmer. Might want to give it a look.
Check out HTC Plus! SHould be on the forums somewhere
Thinking of going down the wisbar way. HTC Plus is too simple, no contacts tab. Thanks guys for the replies.
i can send you my theme if you like.. i paid for it, but dont mind sending it.. just so yoou can get a go before you commit to buy it... but you'd still need to get the wisbar codes (10usd each).

Hey, that was cool, I'd like to have HTC Home Plugins Theme for WisBar Desktop... would you like to share for me too? tq =)
My last WisBar Desktop Theme was modified iPhone theme, create 3 virtual pages; Welcome screen, App shortcut, and Agenda (put pocket breeze plugins there)
thx!
deleted, double post...
check out my phonealarm skin I made long time ago http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=5136.0
Use phonealarm. Its alot better, less buggy and more options.

Any way to customize SPB Mobile Shell panel?

Is there any tool to change default softbuttons? Or any hack able to replace ugly launcher tab with simple grid of icons of programs I want to launch directly? Default system with submenus is nice, but to actually run app you have to go through tons of submenus...
you can find infos+files and a link to the customize post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468547
customization is pretty much done like in with the original sbp-mobile-shell.
you have to change the xml-files in "qa_layouts.dat" and bitmaps in a vew other files.

Problem is, that there is only tip to app called keyswop, but it changes global softkeys, not the ones used in SPB panel. I wanted to change Recent/Contacts at the bottom of screen to something else...
Any more tips?

Wanted: Today manager

Hi,
I disabled TF3D, because I don't like that software for several reasons.
But one today screen is not enough. I am not sure, which today manager applikation is "the best":
WAD 2
Ultimate Launche 1.2
iLauncher
Pocket Plus
Homescreen Plusplus
Mobile Shell
I need about 4 screens. The software should be easy to configure and fast. Any ideas / hints?
Regards,
Doktor
Well, I am using TF3D with SecondToday. Works great on me, able to switch between two easily. Of course when I am on Secondtoday, I can add SBP Pocket Plus, home+++ plugin easily on my secondtoday screen with other today plugin you want.
I tried SBP Mobile Shell 3.01 on my TP2, don't really like, cos it is not works 100% with TP2.
Definetly Ultimate Launcher.
BTW the second today doesn't display tray icons

Fastest Today Screen Replacements/Additions

Hey all,
I'm wondering what the best option for a Today Screen replacement or addition to make it more finger friendly on a 6.1 device.
Of course, SPB Mobile Shell is very nice, but I'm looking for something more streamlined, with very, very little memory or CPU usage.
What other options are out there, and what do you think is best?
Anyone?
There is nothing low memory for our limited titan. spb is the best. I suggest to get a new phone with tf3d
do a yahoo search for HTC.Kaizer.Home.Plugin.with.Tabsetting.schen.cab
it looks exactly like the htch touch homescreen, and works wonders. it didnt use too much of my memory <2mb
Have you looked at HTC Home Plugin? I use the HHCv10Final which is the customizer program. The HTC Home Customizer is a FREE tool that allows you to fully customize your HTC Home Plugin settings. With it, you can customize the background, clock, tab icons, and weather icons and more. Another really cool feature is that you can add color to the icons and large display clock your today screen.
If you just install the customizer it will check to see if you have the HTC Home Plugin already installed and if you don't, it will download and install it for you!

Claunch1204 is also good. The file size is only 186K
Yeah I just recently added HHC to my phone and it works great. I highly recommend it if your bored with the default skins
