hi,
is it possible to completely replace the today screen with an app of your choice, e.g. the phone app? i found a thread describing how to add a dialpad (plugin) to your today screen but nothing about how to replace.
why i am asking this is i want to use the htc kaiser phone skin as my default app (= today replacement)
thx
oliver
pleeease,
just give me any information.
even if it is not possible, that info will be very much appreciated.
or am i touching here a well hidden secret?
or am i asking a stupid question?
as i said any info is more than welcome
I haven't seen anything to completely replace the today screen at startup. But, there are many 3rd party and HTC plugins...HTC Home would be the closest to a replacement and it has a application launcher tab. You can do a search on this if your intersted.
galaxys,
thanks indeed!
at least i am now certain that i have to live with the home screen.
re htc home: as far as i know it does not provide me with a dialpad functionality (or does it?).
i know that there are speeddial home-plugins (like the palm treo one), but i need now a complete dialpad-plugin incl. speeddial. have you seen s.th. like this?
or is it even possible to wrap an exe file (e.g. by a third party software) and make it available as a home plugin?
The HTCHome does not have a dialpad. Also, I haven't seen any Today screen dialpad plugins (but there might be some out there). Just saw this active thread that teaches creating & customizing the Today screen...maybe some help for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332800
Today screen replacement possible...
... see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371394
But I'm not sure it replaces Today Screen. It seems to be just a full screen application.

Hi, I have done a search and I'm unable to find any kind of way to add a task list to the TouchFlo3d interface. Is there a way to bring back this task list onto the TF3D screen?

Translation (partial):
Like the Diamond come with a worse Manager Appointment, I wanted make it better...
I installed the "2nd Today" program y selected a new wallpaper for it ("Wallpaper Agenda 2nd Today Plus.png")...
I installed "spb Today", it function very well with "TodayAgenda_1.1" too (but isn’t too pretty)...
Moreover, I insert a link (right side) with the "Action Screen" of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422136, although I want an Action Screen even more complete (like the last image)...
The first 2 images are of the HOME, with the "2nd Today" installed and using the wallpaper included...
With it, The Diamond has a very good Manager Appointment, just with press a button...

I hope that it helps you to understand the mean of this link...

Hi to you all...
Just got my DIAMOND and I'm thrilled with it!
I have some doubts and would like to aks your help to see them solved.
The doubts are:
1st - As anyone figure it out how to have a AGENDA "chapter" on Touchflo that could allow one to see today events or 2 or 3 days events, as if it was a Pocket Breeze plug-in...such as we have Wheather...Photos and Videos...Contacts...Definitions....Internet...Music...etc...???
2nd - Is there a software that allow everybody to change not only the softkeys assigned programs, but as well the other buttons (the home button and the other one with the arrow)?
3rd - I've already installed a brand new rom...and it's a lot faster but comes without the huge pack of ringtones...all I wanted was BIRDS2 ringtone. Can anyone tell me if I can find this ringtone anywhere?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
1) As yet, nothing has been figured out here. Sorry...You can use programs which provide a Second Today homescreen. There are two such programs: Manila Control (which is better I think most would agree), and SecondToday. Just do a search for them.
2) I don't know. I'll let someone else answer.
3) Give it a search! Or wait for God-knows-how-long.
Has anyone got any news about this???
I would be thrilled if I got to have in my tf3d a new tab with my agenda...and if I could change the assigned progrmas for the two upper button of my diamond (the home button and the arrow button)!!!!
Anyone can help me?
here is the ringtone.
it's not possible to have a agenda tab unless someone coded it from scratch i guess
for the button, u might want to try AEButton plus
To be honest, I tried the touch flo 3d, the home 2, but the only thing I like is the normal, clean windows mobile today screen i like it, its neat , organized, and the xperia wallpaper gives it an elegant look. I alos modified the left menu key to initiate a new sms
what do u think?
I like it's neat clean look, but I prefer using the SE Today Panel.

Same here, a big fan of Winmo Today screen. When I jumped ship from Palm OS to Winmo, the Today screen really makes me forget I ever had a Palm OS device... Although the fond memories of rock hard stability creeps out now and then.
Currently Using itje's incredible Touch-IT v4.5 ROM. The Touchflo is nice, but more of a gimmick then anything else... Give me plain old Today screen anytime.
It just seems easier on the Today screen, that's why I have a lite rom installed, along with TF3d and panels.
I tend to always end up back at the default today screen. Something just nice about it.
Yeah I use it all the time now as it seems to be the most customisable without being fiddley and does all I want it too... I would like a today that is a combination of several of the panels but so far have found nothing that I like more than the normal today...
i use the today screen as my default screen when at work as i like to be in control of how many appointments are displayed, reminders, etc. it's nice to be able to switch to another panel for the weekends though ...
i'm a bit concerned about some of the screenshots for wm 6.5. does the today screen still exist ?
The standard Today just works. Give you access to what a PDA is for, PIM. There is a plugin called TodayAgenda which makes it perfect though.
glad you guys think the same way
btw, any idea how to make a shortcut for the start button? I downloaded a program, H button, that enables me to long press a key and a program comes up... but i want to access the start menu that way

Are you trying to assign a hardware key to Start Menu? If so, go to Start>Settings>Buttons
All this talk is making me want to use the Today panel more! I just tweaked it a little bit and I'm going to give it a try next week.
Does anybody know of a way to get more programs on it? Skype is on the list, and I think TomTom is, but I'd like a couple others.
I need to use the today screen to see the G-Alarm plugin, how much Internet traffic I had this month (SPB Wireless). Also I find it very convenient to use Elecont Dialer (a scrollable row of contacts to call or sms) and Elecont Launcher (a scrollable row of apps).
So I usually end up using it, even if SPB Shell is more touch-friendly. It just doesn't display all the information I need in one screen.
I always seem to go back to the spb panel as my default. its simple and looks clean i think compared with tf3d and point ui. im hopeing that when the new 3.0 shell comes out that it wont replace the spb x1 panel (although i know it will).
I've tried all the panels, shells etc. You name them, I've tried them. As said before, the Touch-IT v4.5 ROM is nice, but gimmicky. I admit I've installed it, but only to get GPS tagging of photos. I untick it in Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items immediately after it's installed.
I appreciate all the work that's gone into developing it, but its way too busy for me
My preferred interface is iFonz 2. The interface can be as simple or as 'busy' as you like. I prefer to have just a few icons of the programs I use regularly on screen as well as icons for the frequently called contacts. Also its very finger friendly.
For the programs that I use infrequently, it's no hassle to find them in Start -> Programs, and contacts are easy to find in iContacts

Hart and soul of my machine.
without it, I had never changed to a winmo device.

Hey friends, I'm with you. I think the today screen is one of the best inventions of Microsoft and is really underrated. It just makes sense to have active plugins share the most precious place on a mobile - the information screen after switching the device on. I think the iPhone is ridiculous in this regardö - just showing icons of the programs that can be launched is lame. Also, there are really powerful plugins available for Windows Mobile. I'm personally using the built in date/time and messages plugin together with PocketBreeze for all the organizer stuff and PocketPlus for system status (battery, memory), finger friendly app launcher and additional plugins as tab (spb weather actuall). Then I use the system tray as quicklaunch and for showing the currently selected phone profile from PhoneWeaver and my softkeys start Contacts and WM5NewMenu, with which I can very quickly place a new appointment, SMS, Email, Note and so on. With this setup, I can really use the device, not only play. Everything is just one or two clicks/actions away and I always have a good overview of what's going on.
I really don't understand why so many people want a better iPhone instead of a good Windows Mobile device. Windows Mobile has drawbacks but also strong points, of which the today screen is one of the strongest I think.
I am also a big fan of the Windows today page. I think it's the only one that can be entirely adapted to everyone's need, all other software are nice graphically, but not as effective as a well prepared today page.
Hi!
Has someone tried out the ssMaHo application for remapping buttons and stuff in TouchFlo3D? Some people are complaining about incompatibilities with the topaz device. Can anyone please confirm or disprove the compatibility?
One of the most interesting things is if it's possible to remap the add new appointment button in the calendar tab to e.g. ThumbCal.
Regards,
PK
I am one of the people who has tried it. It didn't work for me. The developer doesn't have a Topaz device, so can't test it thoroughly. He has used it successfully on a Topaz-based ROM for the HD. I see other people apparently using it on the HD without trouble.
Can anyone confirm this? SSMaHo can be found here. I've tried v.0.0.4.0 on a NL ROM.
I tried it also on the dutch stock rom. It doesn't work. I would really like to change the new appointment application. It is stupid that almost everything else is finger friendly except new appointment, new message etc...
There are not so much buttons to remap but I use AE Button Plus v2.6.3 and it works fine.
But AE Button Plus is not freeware, and I'm pretty sure it won't be able to "see" if the same softbutton is running under a specific TouchFlo tab, in order to trigger the effect when a specific tab is selected and do nothing otherwise.
I tried to use SSMaHo 0.0.4.0 on a Rhodium based HD cooked ROM, and the process works well, but can only remap the 2 Home softbuttons (for which I don't need a program, as one can do it easily by tweaking the register).
It just does nothing on any other tabs' buttons, so after reading what you wrote, I suppose it just doesn't work for Manila 2.x... Too bad.
I've used it on my Topaz to remap the alarm section of the clock to launch Spb Time. Not tried anything else though..
