In my Touch HD I installed Second Today, this application creates a "Today" screen you can activate by a program icon in start menu or applications tab in Flo 3D.
My plugins are very heavy, PochketWeather, PhoneWeaver, PocketInformant, Spb Wireless Monitor, and more....
To change from Flo 3D to this Today could require time, 5 second, for example, to open plugin...
After some time I change from one to other, I have to perform a soft reset, so my question is if it is possible to a dd a tab inside Flo 3D, containing simple today screen.
I suppose, being resident, it could be stable and fast.
thanks

I tried Ultimate Launch and Slither's. They both work, but it's not for me. I want a simple laucher that it's not a today's plugin.
UltimateLauch is a today's plugin which does its purpose to lauch apps, but you can't slide your fingers back and forth to change tab. You need to click on a tab to change...sometime i can slide my fingers, and it goes to the next tab, but it get stuck and I have to press the previous tab to go back. I know i'm being picky, but when i'm driving, it's hard to focus on the tab...I wish it can scroll thru a list of programs that you assign. Also, I found some great icons but you can't assign them to the indiviual program themselves. I think the icons are in .ico and the program icon are in .lnk
Slither's is a great app that it's not a plugin, but it offers too less of programs that can be loaded.
GSmart Touch, scrolling is soo horriable, I can't scroll with my fingers. I think it works well with a stylus.
If it can be like s2p like, just scroll until I find what I want and click and launch program. If it can see .png, .ico and any other formats that is out there for icon makers, that would be great.

you're wrong about UL ,we can use fingers to change tabs from right to left and left to right and you can use the gestures from up to down and from down to up to run applis
Try PointUI or IFonez though I prefer the former.
If you just need sliding + Ultimate Launch then use FTouchFLO with Ultimate Launch. It works
HandyLauncher.....very small launcher, can be assigned to any button so u dont have to go back to Today.
I'm not understanding your problem with UL, just make sure your screen gesture % is lower if it's not working for you. I use it and it always works, and quite smooth I may add.
Have you tried SPB Mobile Shell?
One of the main purposes of UL (aside from the launcher part) is the fact that you can slide from screen to screen. It is, simply put, the best program to do this with period.
Hey folks,
I am still playing around with my new baby and am loving it ;-)
I have been using SPB Mobile Shell for months on my Polaris and like it very much, though TF3D looks nice for sure, but I am simply not used to it yet.
Anyway, which are the best and easy to use tools for customizing (change tab order etc.) on your HDs? I already got myself Weather Database Editor for adding my city to the accu weather database and it worked just fine.
A thing that I am missing right now, is a kinda finger friendly "Settings" tab like there is one in Mobile shell, that makes accessing every setting quiet easy with your fingers.
Any suggestions?

Sadly, Spb Mobile Shell does not work properly on the HD. Dropdown menus do not function, so it cannot be set up to your personal liking. Spb say that they will look into it at some time in the future.
The basic functions of the shell will work, and you can switch to it by installing SecondToday.

'tis true the drop-down menus don't drop down ... but if you're prepared to fiddle you can get the drop-down to scroll to your preferred setting. Click in the drop-down menu to highlight the first choice and then use the up-arrow and down-arrow cursor keys on the soft keyboard to scroll through the options that would normally drop down. When your preferred option appears, tap Enter on the keyboard. I've used this to set up Spb Mobile Shell 2 on the Touch HD. Still, it's worth learning TF3D.
Am I crazy in thinking TouchFlo looks much better than SPB MS ?
because I do !!!
HOME page within Touchflo changed to a new one with "Today plugins" - and WORKING !!!
I was trying different settings with my HD and managed to change my Touchflo "HOME" page to a different page which can handle all the Today plugins within Touchflo.
Now I have the Touchflo and the first tab is a new tab which can handle plugins => so on my new Manila HOME page I have now Pocket Informant, SPB tasks, SPB weather and Time.... so it's like a normal Winmobile "Today page" with plugins but within Manila and at the place of the original home tab of Touchflo. The hardware "Home" button is directing to the new plugin ready homepage. So everyting works as before but my fisrt tab the HOME is much much better than is was before and I still use the Tiouchflo. The original Touchflo Home page I put at the end of the tabs - so its my last tab at the moment but it is still there if I need.
(I'm not an expert so it was result of trying and guessing and using some good programs from others here. Maybe someone more clever described this or a better method already but anyway here is how I did it...)
I have stock English ROM.
1. Installed Singh_s_Tings_HTC_TF3D_15 tabs cab (big thanks for the developer)
2. Installed Manila Today Page cab (MTP_Install_v0.3.3.0.cab) (big thanks for the developer)
=> which is really a great program to have an additional, Today plugin capaple tab within Touchflo. And the page has its own "windows" icon.
3. In Resco (or other) Registry editor => go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration
=> there I have "folders" numbered from 0 to 14 in my case (as I have 15 tabs in Touchflo).
"0" - is the original Touchflo HOME page (and it can be moved!!!)
"14" - (in my case - but it depends on your page order) is my MTP (Manila Today Page additional tab with plugin capacity).
The number shows/determines the order of the tabs as they will appear in Touchflo. So you can mix the tab order as you wish by re-numbering the folders containing the tab infos.
4. I simply renamed the folder numbered with "0" to 14 => this moved the original Touchflo Home page to the last place in my tab order.
5. And I simply renamed the folder "14" to "0" => and this moved my MTP plugin page to the first tab where the original Manila Home page was.
(did some false numbering in the process not to have 2 tabs with same name to be on the safe side - maybe unnecessary?)
=> Soft reset the HD
So my tab order is now:
0.MTP - with all my plugins (PI, tasks, weather, profiles etc. (works with the HOME button perfectly)
1 Communications
2 People
3 Messages
4 Mail
5 Programs
6 Calendar
7 Internet
8 Weather
9 Stock
10 Photos and Videos (Album)
11 Music
12 Sound Settings
13 Missed calls
14 Original Touchflo Home page
The New MTP HOME tab which is the starting tab now inTouchflo has a built-in softkey named "home" => when you push it it directs to the original Touchflo Home page.
The HTC home hardware button directs automatically to the first tab, which is the new MTP Home page with plugins .....
Now I have Touchflo but with a much better Home page than the original ...and can use all my today plugins for touchflo.
"Screen 12" attached => shows ManilaTodayPage at the place of HOME page
"Screen 13" attached => shows original HOME as last tab.
That's amazing, I've been using MTP for a few days now but I'm going to follow your advice to make it my homepage.
Quick question: Can you tell me what programs you are using for the shortcuts at the top and which is your calendar app?
I'm hoping somewhere to find a list of all software with Today screen plugins so I can pick and choose.
Cheer's buddy
So how do you get the ManilaTodayPage program to display the tasks on the Today page? Mine won't do that, and the option to display in the MTP options is greyed out so it can't be chosen ? I'm using MTP v0.3.6.0 rather than v0.3.3.0.
Thx
Dave
Hi ,
so I'm using the following today plugins within MTP
starting from the top:
1. SPB "Pocket Plus"
The 6 colored icons are expanding for grouping other programs to start
so under each icon there are lot of possibilities to start applications, files, setting etc. When not pushed they shrink to this state back.
2. Inesoft Today plugin (from Inesoft Phone 4) => its a profiler for ringtones + switching on/off bluetooth wifi, ringtone, backlight setting
(its not a standalone prog but part of the Phone4)
3. SPB Time (world clocks)
4. SPB weather (expanding further to show more data)
5. SPB Diary (you can customize it to show appointments, task, mail, birthdays, notes etc )
I use Pocket Informant as PIm manager ( SPB Diary takes the info from PI)
What I really like that from any page I can jump back to this stating home page with the HOME hardware buttons.
So this is my Touchflo home page with screenshots (expanded plugins)
Hi, I have two questons:
1. where do I find this MTP cab?
2. Will it work on a my Touch HD with Dutch ROM?
regards and thanks, kuzibri

I installed the 15 tabs program and MTP, and its working on my HD except for the fact that in my registry I do not see in the configuration 14 folders but only 10. So I'm not able to rename folder 14 to 0, etc. Any help - suggestions on how to (re)arrange that.
thanks. kuzibri

Where did you get this?? Google search only brings up THIS thread!
Recently flashed Verizon's stock MR2 ROM with WinMo 6.5 and HTC Sense 2.5 (Manila 2.5.20132227.0). Its growing on me. Definately snappy compared to 2.1, but after a couple days I'm still looking for answers to the following:
-Slide to Unlock: ...every time the screen turns off it locks... is that necessary? Any settings or .cabs that'll give me a little more control of when it locks?
-Start Menu: Where can I get a 4-colum programs .cab for the displayed Start Menu programs... OR have the start menu display the standart WinMo 6.5 start menu. The .cabs I had for 2.1 don't seem to work.
-Programs tab: Where can I find a .cab to add a "Programs" tab back into the slider icons? The one I had for 2.1 (again) doesn't work. Also changing the registry entry in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila doesn't work, either ("programs tab is hidden" from 1 to 0).
Any help would be appreciated.
yes you can change your lock screen settings...
It'll be somewhere in your settings... I cant tell you where as I myself never use it. I went into mine and saw in settings\system there was something called lock config so I'm sure your set up would have something like that.
the start menu... well in 6.5 they have the honeycomb menu. I think I read back a long while ago about a way to make it go old school I just havnt seen in it a long while... same with the programs tab. They took that out of 2.5
my advice... go to this thread and read about the add on and then add it. It adds SO much funtionality to sense it just makes the standard one look stupid
[Manila Mod][19-Jun-2010] Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5
then you'll need this to do the changes
[APP] CHTEditor v1.8.5.1 [UPDATE 19-JUN-2010]
note the screen shots in the links. You can have any number of layouts and "pages" that swipe up and down for different short cuts right on your home screen. Different clocks, notification bars etc etc.
Options for Start Menu Replacement WM 6.5
-Lock Screen: You should be able to locate lock config under Settings or Settings--->System (However, if you decide to use the aforementioned Cookie Home Tab Mod, the lock config is modified using Cookie Home Tab Editor under the Lock Screen menu.
-Start Menu: Try (utak3r's modified Quickmenu and Joe Wilcox's Awesome Start (not free but you may like to try these start menu replacements: Hilauncher and Panoramic Launchpad)
-Programs Tab: Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619253 and you will see that Cookies Home Tab is probably the way to go...
Hi!
I'm looking for a application that would add program shortcuts to the WM 6.1 home screen. Just 6-10 shortcuts, no tabs needed. Something like HTC Home (not available for my Acer M900) or SPB Pocket Plus (annoying tabs, too many unneeded features).
I tested a few programs like this, but they made too many changes to the start menu.
And it would be cool, it that or another application would allow to quickly change phone profiles (normal/vibrate/silent) either by a programmable button or better by shortcuts on the home screen. in this regard SPB Pocket Plus does not work on my M900.
Please recommend, thanks.
