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.

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.)

Hello to all brains
i have question
Is there a possibility to include spb diary or today agenda into manila2d surface?
It is for me very important that i see my apointments and my todolist when i open the phone. But today agenda and spb diary is only for the home of windows mobile and i cant see the progs. It would be perfect anyone of the brains can include it.
i know that it is possible for the spb mobile shell manila skin with a xml code but i dont know wheter it is possiple for the real manila2d

Best solution so far is to use SecondToday and map it to a hot key, that way any today plugins that aren't in manilla can be accessed with a single button push.

Using the SecondToday works just fine for me. Looks good and mapping it to a key. Is great. I rely too much on todayagenda to lose it on manila.

Hi guys, I have searched and searched but cant find.. Is there a prog that can fix so I can have lets say five contacts on my today screen? So I just tap them and either get some options, sms or call up. Or it just calls them up.
Hope u understand what I'm out after =)
Of course I mean the today screen with the TF3D disabled =)
Thx
If you are looking for an appliacation without TF3D, for a normal today application then try SPB Shell.

You can also add Contact's pictures as a quick shortcut on the main screen of SPB Pocket Plus.

You can definately use it with "2nd Today", I am using SPB Traveller with 4 different clocks & VOIP on the normal Today Screen.

I run SPB Mobile shell, it's not active as a plug-in, I can still use the slide move from "Start" tho ( 15 extra fav contacts and stuff ), and by using Fantastic Bytes Softkey Manager 1.1 my right softkey is set to SPB contacts, works like a charm

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

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

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.
Hello,
Because, there is no such fonction in standard, I'm searching for an easy-to-use solution for displaying next appointments
For exemple, combining today agenda + second today is not an easy-to-use solution.
Manilla 3 came with a new calendar but without week view.
Is there really no solution to display next appointment dates on Manila home screen for exemple ? How guys you handle that ?
I dont know what you mean because appointments I type into my calendar are shown on the home screen one day before the certain date. I think you have to use a calendar that uses the outlook-database to save appointments.
Exact, but for a professional use, one day before the certain date is a too short term view..
I wish I could scroll the view until a week for exemple..
Why do you see using SecondToday as a hard option?
I use this with Spb Diary, and it is both easy to set up, and a doddle to use. It displays forthcoming events, bithdays etc in a clear, easy-to read list for the following 31 days.
I have it assigned to a long keypress on the left softkey, but it could just as easily be assigned to the calendar button

I tested 2nd today + Today agenda few month ago on my Polaris but I was not really conviced. I will try with spb regardless but I will stay frustrated that such a simple fonction as displaying upcoming appointments was so badly implemented..

Wellcome to the club, then. Most who use the HD as a professional tool complain of the same thing.
However, SecondToday does work well, and is only a button-press away. I have set up Spb shell to display just the Diary page as a full-page view, so can see loads of appointments.
I also have high hopes for the new Spb Shell v3 which is due to be released fairly soon, and might use that instead of TF3D.
that's the reason why I went back to the default Windows Mobile Today screen with SBP Diary and Calendar+
