All your Contacts? Or just some of them (e.g., Quickdial)?
If you just want key contacts for quick access, there is a cool product called Face Contact by CNetx that might work. If you want ALL contacts, I have not seen one....

Yeah, I have been thinking about this too, would be great if iContact could be made into a Today Plugin. I will pose this question in the icontact thread.

Try SPB Phone Sweet. I know you have to pay for it but there are plenty of places were you will be able to find it below one penny if you get my drift, I just cannot post them on the site. SPB Phone Sweet will allow you to post picture contacts, up to 15 I believe on the Today Screen. Really good function program which I used in conjuction with SPB Pocket Plus but have since then moved to SPB Phone Suite. Good luck.

first... thx for the answer´s and sry about my English
So i really looked for a today plugin who show ALL CONTACTS, like icontact i have now Facecontacts, thats great but i can only show a few contacts or all with many work... spb.... hm i have ultimate launch if i use spb too my kaiser will be slow i think.... so lets search another one

I wrote it in BURT thread...
I got UL too and in combination with spb phone suite there is no problem. My HTC touch is slower

ok but i think this have to look so:

Even I am looking for such thing from quite a while now.. but without luck.. I am trying to search or develop something which can integrate programs like Icontact/PCM image viewer to today screen.. Something like we can see in HTC Diamond but with less memory usage.. There are prgs like Throttle Launcher which does this, but heavy on memory.. consumes like more than 10 MB.. Anyone has any idea on how can we achieve this..

try this
you can use face contacts, its the best looking contact plugin available. and it scrolls like s2p cover flow (but smoother)

if u read u will see.... i use this.... but its not so good i think

As I've mentioned in Icontact thread
use one of your softkeys to invoke Icontact, or use Mortbuttons - you can assign one in today screen with Icontact and other phone app inside

Again Pisca, how does this establish a today plugin

1. not only icontact, any software what can do this, but in the today screen.
2. if u can look on my today screen? NO SoFTKEyS

I have set Spb Diary to show photo contacts on the Today Screen and it works out great...

See post in Icontact thread

You can also use DialTab.

Everything listed here are the best options. Trying to fit all of iContact as a plugin on your today screen eliminates the app itself. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Perhaps "Ineosoft Adressbook". You have a bar on the todayscreen, like the HTC Random Access and then the adress is popup. Have a look on it.
Or we can make a shortcut to HTC Random Access for the today screen.

i am currently playing around with my own made C# picture dialer that is displayed as a today item (very early beta i might add ). it enables a user to see pre defined photo contacts (which is of course nothing new).
as with most photo dialers, a long (2 second) press on the photo dials the number that belongs to the contact. (it also has an option to assign two numbers to one photo contact, which i find very usefull, eg the first number is dialed when you press the photo for two seconds, the second number is dialed when you press the photo for four seconds.)

i show my idea again ok....

notification for missed SMS

does anyone know how i can make my TD vibrate when i missed an SMS/EMAIL/CALL
(and keep vibrating every 5 minutes or so untill i read the message)
???

I'm intersted in this too. Is it possible?

I am very interested to this. + 1!

great idea!
it is possible?

Phoneweaver can do this among other things. Google it, its not freeware thou.

SPB Phone Suite can do this!

Pocketmax PhoneAlarm as well...
I believe all of these are Today plugins, so you'll need something like SecondToday to run them.

Also you can try one of this application, doesn't do exactly what you need, but it's useful.
Ciao, Andrea

I'm using OS Remind Me and it's work pretty well. Here the link: http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2008/06/os-remind-me-v10.html

To get this to startup on phone start, go to program files/osRemindme, create a shortcut for the exe, then cut and paste to your windows/startup folder.

For this same purpose I have been using the alarmPal for sometime now, and now also on Diamond. Apart from vibrate, you can set reminders of missed calls/sms/email, like 1 time repeat every 2 minutes for next 3 times.

Check my signature for my solution (VibraNotify under 3 utilities)

SecondToday is not needed.
I am using SPB Phonesuite and once installed it is running in background. You can manage the setting in Start -> Settings -> System -> SPB Phone Suite. In phone notification you can select reminder for unread message and missed call in every 1/5/15/30 min and notification type (sound and/or vibrate).
Just without secondtoday you cannot use other feature like photo speed dial. And I did not notice any extra battery consumption.
((I have never tried Phoneweaver and Phonealram but if they would add the programme shortcut anywhere in the windows and running in the background just like SPB Phonesuite do, then I suppose you don't need SecondToday too))

I've just switched from Phoneweaver to SPB Phonesuite. Both can be controlled without the today screen, but I preferred SPB Phonesuite as you can set it to remind you with a tone different to the normal one. Phoneweaver reminds you too but plays the same tone. Both have automatic profiles too, which work excellently.

How to integrate Pocket Informant 8 into SE Panel 2

Hi everyone,
the question is simple as you can see on the headline.
I'm testing the trial version of Pocket Informant 8 and that program is great. Nice usabalitiy and functions.
But I only use the SE Panel 2, that one with a monthly calendar, clock, to-do etc. not the main Panel. The problem here is, that PI8 would not fully integrate on that panel. Only the contact list works well, but I use a shortcut. If I would go on the monthly view, the X1 kicks me to the normal calendar.
Does someone know how to make it? I had activate PI8 as the standard calendar as well, but no use. :/

use the SoftKeyApplet.cpl and change the left softkey to PocketInformant
(google for the applet)

Not working

In that case the calendar on the panel screen as well as the agenda items still refer to the old WM mobile agenda. Or am I doing something wrong?

Nobody knows how to solve this?

Nope u'r right, only the softkey for the calendar is then for PI, but the panel buttons are still the old winmob calendar.
Didn't found out anything until now, hope we can get help, I really like the calendar and have no idea how to change the registry savetly.^^

I use PI8 extensively and am thinking of getting an X1 so gonna bump this in the hope that someone has a solution.
thanks!

The only solution I was forced to use is to disable them... they take too long to load anyway, and functionality is limited.
Use the free SPB Mobile X panel instead; on their forums there is a free plugin download, that integrates it with PI 8.

It isn't fully integrated on mine.
I use the SPB mobile panel and have also downloaded the Pocket Informant (PI) plugin from Spb. Now the Calender correctly loads the PI calender but the contacts tab on the spb shell still directs to the win mob contacts page
Anyone found a way to integrate the PI contacts to the 3rd tab for contacts on the Spb mobile panel ?
Ta

I think the original WM Today Screen is the best.
It is very flexible and you can add any plugin u want.
Just put some plugins and you are good to go.
I really dont understand why many people overlook the functionality of the Today Screen which can get anything done in one screen. Unlike TF3D, SPB Shell, or the X Panel which have to scroll pages.

calendar appointments

hi, i'm using the standard windows today screen, i guess i'm old-fashioned but kind a got used to it. the problem with the HD is, it will only view one appointment at a time, even though i have multiple appointments on that day.
any suggestions..

For a much more powerful calender today-plugin you can try TodayAgenda (freeware) or SBSH PocketBreeze (shareware) or SPB Diary (shareware)...

which do u recommend. do they support the WVGA screen on THD

TodayAgenda runs without problem on HD res
D'rath

I have invested in Spb Mobile Shell, Diary and Phone Suite.
Switching to this through SecondToday, I now have a REALLY powerful and flexible PDA.
I can see ALL my diary appointments for the next month and all birthdays for the next year. I use Gyrator to place the PDA in "lock" mode whenever the stylus is inserted, and this then also activates the "Spb Today" function, showing a really useful Today screen. When the stylus in withdrawn, the PDA unlocks itself, and a single button press takes me back to the TouchFlo Today screen.
Through Phone Suite - which I only use to configure the ring volume - I can set a better selection of ring volume, ring type (ie vibrate, ring, mute, level) and can even program different ring levels for different times of the day (eg if I am at work) or if I have a calendar appointment.
I hated the TouchFlo display at first, but now coupled with Spb (which I have to say is first-rate), I now really love this PDA.

TodayAgenda, SPB Diary
Tried installing both on my TouchHD, installation successful, but nowhere to be seen under PROGRAM? Any suggestions?

I am not sure, but dont you have to activate them under the option today (due to tha fact that both are today plugins)? I also think you have to use secondToday to use these programs.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Greetings
Ascenca

Thanks for your response. I checked under TODAY and found TODAY AGENDA. Ticked it, but didn't see it anywhere else. Checked TODAY again, and found that it was unticked. Only Touchflo3D was ticked. When Touchflo3D was disabled, only then TODAY AGENDA appeared on the TODAY screen. Is that how it should worked? And if you don't mind what is Second Today?

I can only speak for Spb Diary here, but it does need Spb Mobile Shell in order to work. Mobile Shell can easily be switched to by using SecondToday.

SecondToday allows you to have in addition to the TouchFlo a second today screen assigned to one of the two soft buttons at the bottom of the screen (above the hard buttons).
I use this with SBSH PocketBreeze - excellent app. I have also in the past used SPB Diary which also is very good.
Using secontdtoday I am now able to view my whole diary (and access all the other SBSH features) and swop back to TF3D.
TouchFlo (TF3D) will not allow you to have other today screen plugins (I think). Hence the need for Secondtoday. Search the forum for secondtoday. It also is in my recent post 30 minutes ago in the working applications thread.

looking for perfect homescreen

hey guys, i need a homescreen that has a favorite people speed dial, favorite programs tab, and shows the time/date and my upcoming appts. spb is the closest,, but doesnt seem to have a favorite programs tab. any ideas? thanks

thanks for teh reply, but when i try to add a speed dial, it just closes the options menu... i tried hard reseting, no go

Hmm, it's working fine for me. I don't use the quick dial icons but I just tried it and I have no problem. Just added the quick dial I wanted to the program shortcut-list and pressed OK.
When do the options menu close -when you choose a person for quick dial or sometimes else?

I would just use the spb panel and edit one of the menu icons there to be your 'most used' programs

I just want to make sure that you realise that it takes a few moments for the Sony Ericsson screen to update after you make a change. If you've hard reset before the panel has updated, you will have over ridden the changes you tried to make.
I've added a couple of programmes and three speed dials to the Sony Ericsson panel to test it out, and it works fine.
This is the panel with the smaller calendar and clock, not the panel with the larger calendar and clock.
I cannot seem to get more than five shortcuts to show on the screen, however. Not sure what's up w/that because there is clearly room for 10.

^^^ Two SE panels are just identical, they show a big clock only when there's not much on the screen.

Just be sure you have FREE blocks when adding new items!

You have to set up the rows you want the shortcuts to use too.
If you set 2 rows, there are 10 shortcuts.
PS. As mentioned before, the two SE panels are the same.

I use these to get all the things you want:
- Pocket Digital Clock
- (SPB Weather)
- SPB Phone Suite
- Pocket Breeze (really good)
| - SPB Pocket Plus : as a slide away tab in Pocket Breeze
| | - Some other today plugins as tabs in Pocket Plus.
| | - Favorite programs as tabs in Pocket Plus.
Try them out (Pocket Plus and PocketBreeze), they all have trials.
Oh, and I can NOT recommend SPB Diary, it is much slower than PocketBreeze.

soudns you like a mix of several things, so you could make your own in WAD or search through dev&hacking for some of the many options there are.
There's some absolute corkers around..

sounds exactly like the probem im having. You just press the + in set speed dial thing and it just closes up and shows the error report thing.
Im not sure what the problem is, and i never use the speed dial anyway so it doesnt really concerns me..
But i do curious for an answer though

When I first acquired my X1 I faced a similar dilemma. I tried various panels eg SBP and TF3D and got them set up to do what I wanted, but none had all the features I required. My main requirements were...
Had to be finger friendly
Speed Dials readily accessible
Favourite programs readily accessible
Toggle bluetooth on and off quickly
Show upcoming appointments
While browsing through these threads, I stumbled across mention of the iFonz interface. Its a copy of the iPhone. Check it out. I think you'll like it.
