Changing the order of the Panels - XPERIA X1 General

Is there a way to change the order of the panels or remove the WM Today panel?
I have installed XperiaTweeks and selected the panel that I want to load as default. The problem is that when I switch on my phone the first thing it does is load the WM Today panel. It then switches to the panel I have set as the default.
This means that XperiaTweeks is not replacing the WM Today panel as the default one but merely acting as a panel switcher. This is annoying because it means that the phone takes longer to start and allow me control.
Is there a way of modifying the registry so that the panel I want as my default panel always loads at phone startup instead of the method above or is it possible to delete the WM Today panel.
Thanks
Ed

The Today panel is the base for all the other panels.
The themes, task-items, menues and so on are all coming with the Today screen. The other panels are just "programs" that are building upon the Today basement. So you can hide it (e.g. with the TouchFlo with covers the Today screen) but you cannot replace it.

Small 'Today' Problem

on the htc4350/herald you usually have 4 small icons which leads to the Battery, the thing that flips the screen, another icon thet leads to the comm manager and the 4th one for the backlight and that stuff.
now what happened to me is that the first 2 icons dissappeared but if i tap on the wallpaper exactly where the icons used to be, they still work.....how can i get those 2 icons back? (the battery icon and the flip screen icon)
thanks
I'm not sure if you've fixed this problem since the post is so old, but if it does happen to you do this:
1. In TODAY SCREEN ITEMS, Edit the HTC Plugin Icons to NOT APPEAR on the Home Screen. Exit the TODAY SCREEN ITEMS and reset your device.
2. Go back to TODAY SCREEN ITEMS and put the HTC Plugin Icons back. This should now enable all four of those icons to appear on your screen. Doing this and moving them up and down will enable it to re-apper!

Today Screen Icons for Battery/Comm/Backlight

Hey all, Been tinkering with my P4000 now for awhile, and I have been unable to find info on how to disable the icons on the today screen.
I am using the HTC Home Kaiser plugin, and customized my theme and desktop, and like to remove all items from teh today screen so that the onlypresent item is the touch interface.
However, I still get the battery meter, comm manager, backlight and alignment icons. I don't want them.
Help! ^.^

Isn't that the HTC Home plus that comes with the phone? Uncheck it from your today items list.

More Today screens as panel?

Is it possible get that more those standard today screen as panel?
Cos I would like to have FEWidgets & iFronz etc. as panels and still have that normal today screen.
Any ideas?
That is a nice idea...!
2 today screens
The closest iv seen to solving this is to use a program called mtoday, see thread - Best Apps for the x1.
You can create 2 today screens with different plugins, run program, set profile 1 and save, then create shortcut, do the same for profile 2. In the programs menu you then find links to launch your 2 today screens. I have pocket plus 4 and touch 3d. Why use panel spaces switching this way is easier and faster.
Posted from my X1
Hi,
I think axjiii is searching a programme or a option to create a panel for a specific programme, for expamle a panel which launches iFonz or other programmes. I was also looking for such an programme with which I could create several panels for i.e. skype, TV, iFonz, etc.
BTW, is iFonz working on the X1? As I'm still waiting for my X1 I couldn't test it yet.
Well, maybe the TF3D panel launcher could be tweaked to launch FEWidgets and iFonz.
No iFonz panel as at yet, right?

Maybe you should try downloading the SDK panel editing package from Sony and dissect the "TF3D as a panel" cab: it just "runs" TF3D
There's also a "youtube" panel but it makes the same simple thing: when pressed, it runs the youtube app and turns "today" screen to blank
You could try to build a panel that runs your desired app
I'd also love such a feature. I have got the panels installed already (not using them though) and to me they very much seem to be something like multiple today screens. It would be nice to just keep the existing panels and the normal today screen and to be able to define another panel (or many more) for which you can define a different today screen with different plugins etc.
What would be very important from my perspective is the impact on resources, both memory and CPU. It would be good not having all today plugins running at all time, even when they are not visible, because many today plugins affect performance a lot from what I experienced. Also the time when switching the home screen via the panels shouldn't take too long, so, initializing the today plugins completely whenever switching today screens/panels would take too long in my point of view. Still, today plugins which run in the background need to get specific messages, e.g. GPRS monitor for still counting the data.
What I would love to have with such a solution would be to be able to switch panels/today screens by switching profiles, i.e. switching panels via commandline.

Looks quite simple for everyone who has Microsoft Visual Studio.
Unfortunately I don’t have MSVS, but I someone create a panel that simply call some app stored in registry (or panel1 for app1, panel2 for app2 and so on), it will be great! In combination with mToday or SecondToday it will allow for anyone to have multiple Today Screens.
I’m personally prefer to have on main Today Screen SPB Dairy and SPB Phone Suite (organiser) while on second Today a lot of shortcuts to useful apps and tools (pocket pc).

Questions about Touchflo 3D on X1

If I was to install the touchflo 3d onto my X1, what exactly happens? Does a new panel get created specifically for Touchflo 3d? Does the X1's today panel get replaced with it? Or does the X1's entire panel interface get replaced with it? Also, what are those other Blackstone .cab's for that I see floating around?
I am new to this world, but here are my findings:
TF3D is set up as a single big element of the first today screen, and upong installing the Full Cabs of TF3D (or putting a TF3D ROM) you get it setup like this by default.
but you can easily go to setting and reconfigure your Today screen with the default elements like the Owner info and the rest of the stuff.
but there is also a TF3D as panel, that you install after having TF3D already running which creates a panel for TF3D, this my my current situation, i use the Touch-It 3.0 ROM by itje but TF3D disabled from first Today Menu and installed as Panel..
so if I want TF3D as a panel, what do I do? with some many threads and files about this, it gets a little confusing. Could you point me to the correct thread that gives the files and directions on how to get it running as a panel?

Stupid questions regarding CHome Configurator...

Ok, i use CHome Configurator to customize my sliding panels for my VZW Ozone and i have two questions.
(1) i like to use the HTC home screen because i like to blend some of the HTC options w/ the Windows options and it usually takes me a while to set it up after a hard reset. Is there a way to just back up those settings w/o backing up the entire phone?
(2) One of the neat things about the OZONE is that it has Visual Voicemail. Also i like to have only one message notification as a panel and its the one that has all the messages in a row and not seperate panels for Missed calls/email/vm... ete. There are two such panels in the htc homescreen that i can use. one problem though, if i have visua, vm enabled it works on one panel and not the other. the panel it doesnt work on is the panel that i prefer because that on shows txt msg previews in that panel. is there a way to edit something to kinda combine this two panels?
thanks in advance!
