OzVGA, Wisbar Advance, VJ big phone.
So now I have all this extra screen-estate to fill on the today screen.
Any suggestions on some nifty/useful apps that can run on the today screen?
I wouldn't mind a better contact list program then the horrible WM5 crippled do-one-contact-at-a-time.

Will ContactBreeze, PocketBreeze, etc. work with VGA? I use these with my Wizard and find them really useful...
Yes, and a heck of a lot prettier than qvga, too!

Pocketbreeze is great. Thanks.
I've tried OzVGA and that TrueVGA thingy but with the latter I wasn't able to get the signal indicator, start menu etc to show.
Which is best? Can someone post a screenie showing everything working?
Cheers

I'd be lost without Pocketbreeze these days...

Hey, are you using VJBigPhone for WM6 [d'oh, Athena is WM5 right?]
Post some screenshots!
You get more then ample space for space eaters, so use PHM tools to have a slideshow on your phone, Media player control plugin, big PhoneAlarm theme etc.
I do quite like SPB Shell as well.

Nice to see you in this forum Vijay. Hope you get an Athena...then we can all sponsor you to do some 'cooking'.
Hi guys,
What's the best multi page today plugin with the ability to insert today plugins inside pages?
I'd like if i could have first top half of the screen with htc home plugin and second bottom half with more than one tab with inside different today plugins.
Sorry for my english, hope clear enough...
TY
Bye

there is wisbar advance desktop (WAD for short) which can do some wondrous things and it is completely customizable and skinable:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
takes a bit to get used to, but you basically lets you create today screens and add what you want to them, including other today plugins and counters, text , images etc...sorry, not the best description. Have a look at the forum on the site to see what people are using it for.
Hope it helps
I like the good ol' HTC Home. Nice and simple.
I'm really digging on the the tried and true cLaunch lately. As I'm limited to a 240x240 screen, there are only a few viable options for the limited real estate and cLaunch is working nicely as an app launcher. In conjunction with Quickmenu, I manage my device and access my apps with minimal keying.

X2 for cLaunch. Simple, clean, multiple pages, custom icons (.bmp, exe, or dll) you can even change the size of the icons you want to make it more finger friendly. I set mine to 32 pixels, and took off all the borders and tabs. You can use lnk shortcuts.
I think OP 's original request was for something that is tabbed AS WELL as be able to include other today plugins as tab.
can cLaunch or ultimate do that?
I know SPB Pocket Plus can but there are some plugins it can't incorporate which I wish it could like the WM6 calendar and task plugins.
is there an english version of ultimatelaunch

This is a best plugin so far and uses a minimal amonut of ram considering how much works it does.
Anybody know how to put meter in this plugin like battery, signal, memory etc. And show running programs in a tab.
You can create your own tabbed today plugin (for FREE) by using:
1. rlToday
2. MortScripts
Example: http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1099

thanks its nice but is threre a plugin for unread msg and phone calls
That ULTIMATELAUNCHER thing seems quite nice - but I havent figured if it is possible to point it to a folder. It has super interface, but I find it a bit to difficult to configure...

Is that an exe for pc installation? If so, can you make a cab for ppc installation?
or is that suppose to replace an exe file somewhere? If so where?
Hi, been home from work on a sick leave all day, and being bored to death started looking at the possibilites of perhaps making Manila2D available on the X1 (Portrait-mode only though)!
Instructions goes like this.
1. First, install the latest version of Manila2D. It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
Follow the instructions found on that page.
2. Next, install the VGA-update made by pijulius, everything explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429224
(the file you're looking for is the last link in the first post).
3. Go to Settings -> Today and uncheck the TouchFlo-plugin.
4. After you have done that, download my file, extract HTCHomeSettings.xml and move it to the Windows-folder of your device.
Go back to the settings for Today and check the box for TouchFlo. Voilá, working.
If your ROM is not WWE, but perhaps Swedish or something, you can follow the instructions in the last answer of this post, this will fix alot of problems you might otherwise encounter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2691419&postcount=2741
Thank's to: Herg62123/others for Manila2D, pijulius for the VGA-version, darth maximus for his QWVGA-version that taught me alot, and ababrekar for the HTCHomeSettings XML-tutorial.
Will continue to work on this to see if I perhaps can improve it somehow
Screenshots:
Oh, the background image is taken from a QVGA-Manila2D-theme and resized to WVGA-size, renamed hh_fw_background.png and put in the windows\manilagfx-folder.
Bet it looks awesome on that screen.
Good job!
Great!
I really want my X1 - NOW!
Oh my!!! That is nice.
Can you make Manila2D work on one of the panels? Or does it remove panels?
I suppose the next step would be to get the new version of Manila from the Touch HD.
Hehe I'm unfortunately not that good This is a today-plugin for the Microsoft Today-screen, which is one of the panels!
Yeah, hopefully we'll get a version that's made for WVGA from the Touch HD when it's released!

I'd really like to know that too!
I suppose someone will have to look into the Xperia Panel SDK:

I've already got that installed... but unfortunately they only support C++ for Panels at this time... am waiting for 'em to support C# and VB.Net CE.

Lets hope it wont take them too long to bring out a new version! )
Nelsh:
Which prototype do you have and how well does it perform .. panels and touchflo interface?
Would be good knowing on what the final device will be capable of.
Sorry I havent answered..been too busy trying to figure out this xml-thing! I have a 256 MB RAM-prototype..obviously I love it, wonderful phone! Even better now with the Manila2D up and running!

How's it handling the panels and overall performance with the 256 mb?
Any bugs you've noticed? How's the keyboard?
Did you add this as a new panel along side the other panels or you completely remove xperia panels?
and could you try TFL3D next time wonder how the speed is going to be with the 380mb ram version

Even with 256MB and the latest ROM X1 is fast enough. The keyboard is OK, I can make comparison only with E90 and TyTN, but I think that X1's is better.

This isn´t a new panel or something, its a today-plugin that runs on the "standard" today-screen, which also happens to be one of the panels!
Unfortunately there isn´t any good versions of TouchFlo 3D out yet!
Any idea if it will work on other WVGA devices, especially Toshiba G900? As far as I know G900 has only 128 mb ram so that may be a problem.
Doesn't work on my G900, cycles message "Tap here to launch Touch 2D... Launching Touch 2d... Tap here to launch Touch 2D"

If you just install Manila2d (without the VGA-icons and without my HTCHomeSettings.xml), does it work then?
I installed non-HTC device patch, and now it's working. It's quite fast.

Even though this maybe true, could someone with the knowlege try it out anyway?
I made a cab install for "dciBattery" + "qwertyMemory". It shows two thin color lines :
. remain battery
. remain program memory => free RAM (not free InternalStorage, neither main device storage)
It will run from WM startup, so I recomend install them on device.
Credits to "lucasjonhy" (who was post these apps on his thread)
Thank you! I could never find just teh battery meter. It's awesome!
great apps.
btw the bar indicates which memory? main or internal storage?
Thx bud i like this app great work

Thanks

This icons are from "darklord69" taskbar (credits from him).
You must read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=3274341, but with 2174!!!!!!!! posts there.
I made my own cab install, based on darklord69 taskbar.
It runs from PTG stock ROM 2.03. If the HTC volume control don't run propely, you have to find the correct HTCVolumeControl.dll for your language.
(I can upload cab file, so I zip it => unzip and install cab)
)
Thanks XKAISER!
Nice tool working well!!!

MDA Compact IV (T-mobile AUT)

Thanks alot
Thanks
Many thanks. Easy, very usable and looking good. What else do you want.
Thanks again.
first .. this tool is absolutly awesome !!! great work !!
however, would it be possible to just show the batterymeter without the memory consumption ?
since i do not care about memory .. and reboot when needed i need the batterymeter on top of the taskbar only
thanks for letting me know
Sweet !! it's really gr8 application... !!
also your xmatrix_DarkLord.TaskbarBatBT.cab is very very nice...
great work !
Thanks, I'll try it!!!
excellent app

it replaces htc album, with the new one from diamond 2. the link is in the windows folder if you didnt have album installed before.
the only difference i noticed was that it is a little more snappier (faster)
thank you for posting
where did you get the stock ROM?

Does it replace anything in the X1 or is it a standalone app?
hey.
how soon do u guys think we can have tf3d from diamond2 or touch pro2. i hear they have tf3d in landscape mood and are WVGA. can wait to hav those for xperia
Am using the touch it rom. Will this replace the default tflo album?
Testing it now.
Yes its a bit snappier (a subjective adjective).
The fonts in the options menu have changed.

if dutty ports his newest rom to x1 then we can have landscape manilla ASAP.. but as far as i know dutty is the only one with the files and has his rom protected so ppl cant easily get the files.
I think i don't get it. I've installed it and no new icon in start menu. Then i found HTC_Album.exe in windows folder and started it. That worked but I didn't get the point. How do I change the displayed folder and what is the purpose of the software anyway?
yes. it replaces original album app.
i did not put shortcut in programs folder as most has album installed, and it would be 2 shortcuts or none depending on language in rom then
the shortcut is in win. dir for thoose who want it.
But I can't even zoom a picture. You are required to use the zoom slider on Diamond 2 / Touch Pro 2 which we don't have on X1.
Also, I can't browse through the pictures while in full screen using touch gestures. It's prety useless then?

not 100% sertian, but i think that is an inplantation from the new touchflo, called htc geasture.
