I know, that it's not possible "normal" way, but when I see, what all of you can do, so it's piece of cake for you
I think that this problem has many users.

For some stupid reason that nobody understands, HTC has disabled anything from displaying on the Today screen if TouchFlo 3D is running. You can however go to Settings>All Settings>Personal tab>Today and deselect TouchFlo 3D, and then you can add Tasks or any other item that you like. But you'll have to scarify TouchFlo 3D for that, and use regular Windows Mobile. If anyone has a hack or registry fix, please advise. Thanks!

Some questions and problems with Touch HD :)

I got my Touch HD a few weeks ago and I must say its a helluva upgrade from my old Qtek 9100 :up:
I have a few questions/problems here:
Im used to using Today Agenda on my 9100 so I wonder if there is a way to edit TF3D so I can see lots more calender days on the home screen of TF3D? I also wonder regarding this, I would like to edit the TF3D home screen so its more optimised so the calender takes most of the space. Or is there a way to get Todays Agenda to work with TF3D? Im really missing all my calender stuff cause it isnt shown days in advance.. Damn I missing lots of birthdays since I got the Touch HD =)
Another question, is there a way to get the TF3D task manager icon in the right upper corner always show? Now it only shows now and then, would be much faster/effective if it was always there (aside from fullscreen programs that is)
I would also like to be able to remove the Operator information at the top of the TF3D home screen, it just feels unnecessary and just takes away space from my "want to be there" calenders
EDIT: got some new questions now
I cant get email to work, I type in my login information for Windows Live, the same as I always use when I logon Messenger and Hotmail and they dont work in the Live in the Touch HD, what can be wrong?
I want to be able to hear digital radio stations and I cant get anyone to work. Since the built in radio SUCKS, very hard to get a decent quality so I want to listen to swedish radio on teh intarweb instead
I tried different kind of streaming, none works :/
here is a few Ive tried:
http://www.sr.se/sida/artikel.aspx?artikel=2260956&programid=2321 (swedish Im afraid)
http://www.di.fm/
www.htchradio.com
Ive tried Coreplayer, Built in Media Player and Streaming Media. I cant get it to work... Anyone got any ideas?

Anyone? Seems like everyone else gets all their streaming stuff working

noone to help with more calender days on the home screen of TF3D? It's really a big issue to me.

same for me! Thats a big part of having a smart phone /PDA, that you can have full control of your calender and see in 20+ days whats happening...

Try "Second Today" for "Today Agenda"
I used the "Today Agenda" program before
and it's a good software.
To keep using it, I install "Second Today" program
for it. It helps to enjoy the pros of TF3D & "Today Agenda"

AH perfect! It works like a charm :up:
I can finally have lovely Todays Agenda and with another wallpaper to! :drool:
Thank you very much for suggesting this

TF3D without the 3d

Hi
Is it possible (or been explored) to have the TF3D from the HD etc on our polaris without the 3D aspect. I like the look of the tabs and there shortcuts but don't want the 3D driver problems.
Cheers

TF3D without the 3D is well....TF2D...lol
All the latest roms have it, it isnt exactly the same as TF3D, the "people" tab is different and we dont have a stocks tab but its as close as we are going to get.

I think should be a nice idea to have the slide of the picture tabs like the one in footprint. the same animation could be made on contacts (but I preferr the current version)
cheers

Its all the little shortcuts on the contacts tabs etc, and the calender tab that interest me, the flippy bits not so much. Basically moving away from anything to do with the bog standard WM appications that are touch unfriendly (i know third party software is out there

Have you looked at Throttle Launcher? Works fine and has many skins. Might be worth checking out?

ThrottleLaucnher is very slow on my Polaris
Not on yours?

Only used it for a while and not for some time - went back to Manilla 2D cos I like it better. Another one you might want to look at is PointUI. Now I was playing with that just the other day and that's got some kinda cool elements in it and not slow at all.
I guess there's no perfect solution, except the one that suits you best.

Yes, I'm currently under PointUi Home2 and I like it. My question was for information only ^^

Looking for a few more things...

I just got the TP2 for USCC last week. (WM6.5) I haven't used WM in about 2 years and am pretty dissapointed to find a lot of the same issues that were present then. I used to be a fairly competent WM user with above average knowledge in registry editing, ROM flashing, etc but most of what I used to use seems to have changed. So far I have found the fixes for the sms sent notification and the organization of the contact list by last name, first to first, last.
I've been all over these forums and cannot find a fix to disable the onscreen keyboard from auto-popping...ever. Also, in the sound settings menu, there is a slider to adjust ringer volume and another to adjust system volume yet these two don't work independently. I want system volume loud for hearing things like my IM app that runs in the background yet have the ringer volume lower as it's over bearing on full.
Something else I have noticed is that some settings menus appear to be there but not functioning. For instance, under settings>all settings>today there is a 2nd tab for items that does not change from the appearance tab. I've notice several menu's like this throughout the phone. It seems like there are things that other versions of WM may have had that this doesn't or simply that Microsoft/HTC got lazy in the initial release and either did not remove tabs that were not intended to be there or forgot to finish some that should. Just wondering if anyone has some insight into this.
I'm also looking for a good free IM client. I've seen many apps across these forums but with so many out there, it's hard to find the right one for me. I refuse to pay $45 for Agile messenger (although I've seen hacked versions but I would prefer not to deal with that). It's a decent app, not great but decent but $45 for a very simple app is outrageous. So, I found Slick ( http://slick.en.softonic.com/windowsmobile ) which is a free app and works great! The only feature it is missing that I liked about Agile is a notification (similar to the annoying sms message sent notification that I removed) while the app is in standby. Does anyone know of another free IM app that is simple and has that feature? I only use Google Talk and have noticed some apps specifically for that but there are so many to try, I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation to save me some time.
The last thing I'm curious about pertains to Manila. I see Manila all over these forums. I've done some reading on it and have a good understanding of what manila is. But, it's very confusing as some thread talk about reflashing ROMS for it and others talk about installing cabs over your current rom for it. Does anyone have a link to a good thread(s) that will explain things more clearly so I can make an educated decision on the best way to try this out? A, Manila for Dummies, if you will.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: It looks like the "Manila" Touch Flo design is incorporated in WM 6.5 on my device already? Is this mainly the custom tabs located at the bottom of the today screen?

There's an option to disable "Auto Deploy SIP" in Advanced Configuration Tool.

First of all, TF3D/TouchFlo3d, Manila, or Sense are essentially the same thing. It's a skin designed by HTC to cover up WinMo. You may say it's actualy just a very elaborate Today screen plugin. Since it takes up the whole screen, you would not be able to add other items.

See above for a crude definition. There are many versions, so that's why there's so much discussion in these forums about them. People are trying to use versions that didn't come stock with their devices.
TF2D or Manila 2D - for budget devices like the Touch Vivo, Touch Cruise, etc
TF3D v1 - originally came on the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro
TF3D v2- came with the Touch Diamond 2 and our Touch Pro2.
TF3D v2.1 - came with the release of the official WinMo 6.5 ROM for the Touch Diamond2 and our Touch Pro2. Identifiable with the weather under the clock in the Home tab.
TF3D v2.5 - came with the release of the Touch HD2. Has customizable shortcuts on the Home tab, revamped People tab, coverflow-like Pictures tab and Music tab when in landscape, and other goodies.
Btw, going forward, you may want to list out what you're asking in bullet point form. Most people are put off by long essay-like posts. You'll get more responses if your post is clear and short.

I was just using that particular option as an example of a menu that is present but cannot be accessed.

That actually clears it up quite a bit. So it appears that my CDMA TP2 with USCC is actually 2.1 or 2.5? I see you stated our TP2 is is 2.1 but your description of 2.5 seems to fit my phone. Either way, it looks like I can just addon on any Manila Cabs that customize the home screen more as Manila is already installed?

Sorry about that, I was reading though forums for about 2 hours after the bar last night when I typed all of that. I tend to get a bit winded when I'm intoxicated.

Where else are there menu options that doesn't look like they belong? Anyway, if there are, then it's because of Microsoft and not HTC. We're on WinMo is on version 6.5 now, but it really hasn't changed much since I first used a pocket PC back in 2000.

Certainly, there are components that are possible to install via cabs. But often, you'll need to flash a ROM with the particular build of Manila that you want to get those features.

So just to clear this up, if something is made for TF3D v2, it should (or might) work with our CDMA TP2 running the stock @M6.5 rom?

Also, anyone have a fix for the keyboard thing? I remembered the name of the cab i used to use, null keyboard but can't find anything that works with this rom. I've tried a few reg edits that have not worked.

It should, yes. However, if you have a TP2 with WM 6.5 you most likely have Manila 2.1 (in my case 2.1.191937). If you go to the Settings tab and scroll down, you should be able to see which version you have. That being said, many cabs work on all versions, a good few has to have a more specific version (like 2.0, 2.1 or 2.5) and a mere handful needs to be spot on (e.g. 2.1.1717).
After installing such a CAB you often need to restart your TF3D/Manila/Sense, and to do so you go to Start > Settings > Today and tick off HTC Sense. Tap OK and go back in to tick the HTC Sense box again. That restarts your TF3D.
Hope that made sense.

Thx for the clarification, I think I'm ready to start customizing this thing! I'm a bit hesitant as I really like alot of the features that come with the stock home screen. My last windows device was the 8125 and I modded the **** out of that home screen but this one I simply want to add a few highlights without loosing the over all look.
One thing I have been curious about is if there is a way to put a google search bar under the calendar. I know Google apps will put one up but then I have to go to my programs tab and open google apps so I might as well just eliminate a step and open opera.

I haven't checked to be honest with you, but I am satisfied with moving the internet tab a few notches closer to the home screen tab. I find that to be quick and easy enough! One tab on the tab and the google search is at the top of the screen.

Thanks for all the help! You gave me the tools I needed to dive back in. I understand the differences in Manila's now as I've flashed about 5 or 6 different roms. 2.5 is slick in theory, especially when Dusk Evolution v2.0 is theme is added but I had to return to 2.1. Thanks again for the help to get me started.

Im client look at PalRingo.. it's pretty awesome and covers most major networks (yahoo, MSN, gmail, facebook chat, icq others.

Yes, that's what I currently use. Kind of an old thread now too. I've come a long way since I started this thread.

I'd like to know if this is possible too please.
If anyone knows how to, I'd also like to be able to see 'All day' events on the HomeTab, all my birthdays are all day events, and I keep forgetting them!

I get the distinct impression HTC did a bit of a sloppy 'cut n paste' job where some menu functions are concerned. The rotate is wak also so I guess they released it earlier than they shudv. I got mine primarily on potential. Looks like were gonna have to be patient and wait for them to give us a proper OS

Still nobody who can help me??
I tride everything i could find on this forem but nothing seems to work for me.
