This was my 3rd topic in Q&A, and my second topic in Q&A with plenty of views and no replies. I'm starting to think the developers don't even look at Q&A. So i'm posting here.
Hey guys, i'm currently using TF2D on my Tilt and i have the landscape settings installed, made by btprice.
I've noticed that it is about 60% functional. However the messages, contacts, music, and email tabs all display nothing.
Pictures,home, and settings all display their tab but are not scaled and positioned for landscape mode.
Weather and programs tabs are completely functional. I haven't tried location though.
Now, i was thinking of fixing the images for landscape mode. but upon reading the forums a little bit more, i saw the diamond gold blend theme. the author stated that manilla2d will never be fully landscape(I can link to the post if needed). Does anyone have an answer as to why this is?
I would really love to get TF2D in landscape, and i'm willing to help with the graphics. mbarvian's alternative(even though he did a great job) is just too slow for me.
thanks!

Some of the tabs don't have landscape support in the xml file, while some do. Best of my knowledge, htc never released a tf2d on a device with sliding keyboard, hence the reason for not having complete landscape support included or files to get it from. It would probably take someone rewriting part of the tf2d plugin to enable it. So leaves you where you are, either using a workaround(mbarvian style) or having some tabs that you can't get to work or can't get the layout perfect on.
whats with posting in the wrong section?
@other members, do not reply to these threads it encourages people to continue posting in thew rong sections, if you want to help you can pm a mod to remove it. Thanks for your cooperation.

This forum has a lot of information and a lot of input and applications and downloads. I recently started coming here a few weeks ago and little by little have gotten through quite a few threads and downloaded some amazing stuff. However, it's been difficult at best and quite slow and tedious and I know there is still lots of stuff I'm missing.
What I was thinking is how it would be great if we had one unified post that summarized and organized some of the most popular applications that are available here. Something like:
Best Music Players
--HTC Audio manager
--Mort Player
--etc.
Best Browser
--Opera Mini
--Picsel
--Skyfire
--etc.
Best locking program
--S2U2
--etc.
and so on, with the download links next to them. This would make referencing certain applications easy to find and download for all from various threads. With a few people in charge to moderate the thread, updates could easily be done as people post as they arrive or to alert others and then subsequently deleted.
I'm not sure if this has been brought up or attempted before, but I wanted to throw it out there. Please feel free to close or lock this thread if necesssary mods.
I would also add that some polls could be set up initially to identify some of these key applications to set up a "standard" list of applications that most users here should at least be familiar with and/or have on their devices.
Thanks and hope this idea helps out others if it's put forth.
Chain Fire's WMWIFI ROUTER
Slither's HTC CUBE Clone ( flash version )
Slither's HTC Cube ( C++ version )
Throttle Launcher
will add more later
Best Music Player:
Pocket Melody
Best Browser:
NetFront Browser 3.5
Best contact App :
-- PocketCM 0.19b !!
I can't find the pocket melody thread... can some one gimme a link...
Thanks
Sorry, but before this thread becomes very crowded and yet another "must have" list that gets lost in the realms of the web: Wouldn't it be better to do this in the XDA-Wiki?
Here's a good starting point.
A sticky hint might be a good idea, though, you've got to scroll the Wiki main page for a while to find it...

Thank you. That's exactly the type of format I'm looking for. I didn't want everyone to just come and start posting their favorite programs but instead to have ONE post that combined them all. I just don't know enough of them and haven't been around long enough to even begin to compile it.
That wiki page looks great. I just hope someone that has a little time and the desire to do this could pull it off. I just don't have either nor the knowledge to put out something that would be helpful. Thanks for the reply.
best tweaker
schaps config tool
Nice looking interface - Wisbar Advance Desktop
Best theme bars and text color changer:

We should have official polls on what are the best apps for each category.
That way, the best of the best will show themselves and those who are not yet enlightened, WILL be.
It will also clear up arguments and let popularity decide.

Agreed. Should be in general.
I have started the task of getting my head round UL and how it works. There is quite a bit to learn and a whole shedload of threads dotted about all over the place with useful information.
Some of these threads are about UL, others about icons and/or their use in UL. The purpose of this thread is to act as a reference point for all of the threads on UL related matters.
The intent is to save time trawling through the site by having all the links in one place.
Feel free to add to this; however it would be useful if you could ensure that you don't duplicate a thread already mentioned here.
Cheers

UL Customization
Word to the wise, don't change the background color of UL unless you have your device backed up or better yet, you can boot in safe mode and disable UL from your today screen. I changed the background color and it locked up my device. I did 3 soft resets and I couldn't boot in normal mode. Luckily I had a safe mode tool installed so I booted into safe mode and disabled UL.
However, this is one of the coolest launchers I have ever used. It's a little rough around the edges. Hopefully it will get better as time goes on. I just wish their was an English forum to post bugs and requests to for the author of this cool software.
I have changed my background color many times and it never locked up my device.
I'm under the impression that it may be rom related sometimes, and not UL. On some roms, I can use youtubeplay, and others I can't or it'll install, but wont open. On some cooked roms, I can use igo, Tom Tom, and others I can't. You'd believe that if you have jbed installed, you'd be able to use Opera Mini. As it is well documented on this site, many are having issues with it and having to tweak this and that create/install mortscripts, blah blah, blah. Sometimes it not the app, it's the cooked rom. Some have had to remove and reinstall UL because they were having today plugin issues. Just my two cents. My point is that the user maybe doing all the right things, but still encounter minor glitches that others may not experience.
good idea. Robo !
Robosiris,
I believe you have hit the nail on the head there. You are already aware of the problems I have had wth UL and plugin deinstallation.
I love this forum because it is all about helping each other out and sharing experiences; one reason why I thought a reference thread would help (I need to ask the mods to make it a sticky).
What I find really annoying is knowing I have followed all steps to the letter, don't get the result I am looking for, then someone comes along and tries to be a smartarse rather than being helpful!
I too am looking forward to the next version of UL where hopefully some of these bugs would have bee ironed out and the software will be compatible with a broader range of roms.
Meanwhile I hope we can all continue to share our knowledge here and help each other out.

In my thread, I tried creating UL manual (if you will, lol) because it's so customizable and almost impossible to write everything. So I just hit the finer points.
Creating this thread is indeed a smart move and good idea. I can see this thread (or Sticky) becoming a Wiki for UL. I think this is one of the many applications that needs a Wiki.
Update: you can now download all my icons, INCLUDING .ICO (see first post here for link)
@ Admin or whoever, please delete the link to the "iphone glossy", its not uptodate, thank you.
this thread is a very good idea - has introduced me to both UL and rltoday!
A thought - people should post what themes / skins they are using with either (or both) UL and rltoday, they work really well together.
I am using the skin by Focaldesign:

skins UL and rltoday. it is brilliant, but would like to see what else people are using....
I have a quick question too - how to i change the font for UL?
I have copied the font to the \windows\fonts directory, and then in the options changed the font name (under the font tab - typeface name)
but doesnt make any difference.
Any thoughts?

You'll need to change the entire system's font, there are cab installers in the forum, I use Segoe.

I love UltimateLauncher for all of it's customization options, but I already bought SPB Pocket Plus 4 and I'm not sure how to integrate UltimateLauncher with Pocket Plus. Seems like over-kill. If anyone is running both together, I would love to see a screen shot as well, or at least an explanation of how both complement each other.
I don't think it's overkill at all. I have seen some people's setups that have UltimateLaunch running in full screen "virtual page" mode, with Pocket Plus running on one page, and Weather Panel or SBSH Pocket Weather running on another, and Today Agenda on a third.
UL is one of the best mobile purchases I've made.
I'll second that Robo, UL is money, for the first time in a WHILE, I didn't mind spending.
Hi gps-lover!
I'd like to post some ideas here to make "task facade" even better:
Pocket PC Version:
It would be nice to ba able to add a task to the "banned task"/"banned window" list from within the application - for example from the dialog that appears after doubletapping on a task.
Smartphone Version:
In the current Version (3.7.7) ist is not yet possible to close a task with the facade. This would be a nice feature.
Regards
Silent_R
why? why open a new thread for this?
you JUST replied to the original thread.
read the rules..
it was my idea.
the problem is, that thread is too big, is used mainly for problem reports and is hard to track for feature requests.
so the idea was to have a separate thread for feature requests only.
sorry if it's against the rules.

it's just that... imagine that every other app has a thread only for requests...
this section of the forum is already drowning in new threads... that's why the questions and answers section was openned.
If i were you i'd ask people to give in suggestions with the title "Suggestion" and then you can search your thread for all posts containing "Suggestion"... and get only those posts. go through them to get an update for your app.
just an idea
cheers.
p.s. sorry for sounding blunt, it's hard to pass on the tone of voice..

That's already an option.
I have the HTC Touch Pro and the program will not allow me to close any open applications. Is there a fix for this yet or do I need to do some config to get the tap and hold feature working to close any open tasks?? I got hooked in when I saw the youtube demo video. I believe the phone used was either Diamond or TP and it worked flawlessly on the video. Did I do something wrong?
Any way to mimic the vista aero task switcher? So you could flip through the open tasks with finger swipes.
Scroll Support for Tilt/Kaiser
I'm using Task Facade with the AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser). When I start Task Facade, I usually see two columns of two or 3 panels each. The scroll wheel will move up and down the column that is originally selected, but will not move over to another column.
Would it be possible to make the scroll wheel "loop" through the columns, so that when it reaches the bottom of one, it moves to the top of the next?
HI all,
I have got an question. I have been trying to get M2d working properly on my Omnia. I seem to be able to run it but with some issues. Here is the post I had posted earlier on:
"First of all I really like the things we can do with M2d, but I am having some problems with my Omnia. It seems like not all the tabs are stretched out enough to fit the whole screen. For example if i open the Weather tab. At the bottom (above the icons) I can see the weather for the coming days. When i would go to the Messaging tab then, i will still see that weather for the coming days. It could be usefull, but it SHOULDNT be there. At the other tabs it is just very ugly. Could anyone help me sort this out?
I really like this software, but with this thing going on, I rather use SPB Mobile Plus."
Ive installed the 22 beta2 version of M2d. I hope anyone could help me out with this.
Thanks in advance

Hi All,
Can someone help me with an application for the tp2 to tweak such as Diamond Tweak which you can switch the automatic keypad lock and hide some stuff.
Im looking for such application and especially to make the auto lock for the keypad other than s2u.
Thanks
Welcome to the forums!
If you have a quick look around you'll find references to many tweak applications. I suggest that you look at the "software worth installing" sticky here and the cabs, tips and tweaks thread in the Rhodium / General branch.

Hi:
I too am looking for something like Diamond Tweaks. Is anything available for Rhodium? I did of course check out the software to install thread, and have searched around, while I did find tons of good info, I have not found an app which performs multiple tweaks like Diamond Tweaks (or prior to that Kaiser Tweaks).
Am I just looking in the wrong place? The closest I have found is for the Topaz, but it seems people are having problems using it on the Rhodium. I am also looking for something like Diamond TF3D config. Anything available?
Thanks!
TP2 Tweak
I have never been a fan of "ME TOO" Forum messages, and in fact, messages that ask the same questions over and over are one of the reasons I don't like forums that much... but it seems I can SUBSCRIBE only to a thread I have contributed to, and the TweakTP2 utility that doesn't yet exist would be a GREAT addition to my life...
My contribution; While hAndyUtils has a Pro2 specific utility with SOME tweaks, it isn't quite as full as the DiamondTweak I used to use.

Forum gets a little circular when the same questions pop up again and again cos peeps can't be bothered doing a simple search.
In fact, if you can't search you probably shouldn't be tweaking. You'll only break your phone and the come back and fail to search for an answer to your self inflicted problem, starting the whole boring loop again.
Wasn't it Black Flag who released the album "Stupid people shouldn't breed" ?
Edit : Sorry, it was Skatenigs
I was actually thinking of petitioning this as well. I am currently using HD Tweaks and TD2 Tools, but as they are made for different phones some things don't work properly. If I use TD2 Tools I get the opton for "TF3D Rotation" which I actually hate. If it is activated then Touch Flow rotation becomes accelerometer activated and it is WAYYY too sensitive rotating when I so much as sneeze. If it I turn it off then when I open the keyboard it rotates but I can't actually SEE TF3D, only the windows bar on top and below where TF3D should be. A tweak app specifically for the TP2/Rhodium would avoid this kind of conflicts. Hopefully I hope it is made eventually. It'd be a great help for those who want to do some tweaking either in an easy manner without having to dig out a registry tweaker and have to look up the correct values and for those who are somewhat newbies and prefer a "safer" method that is easy to undo.
try this one
http://htcpedia.com/htc_touch_pro2_rhodium_settings_too/soft/rhodium-apps
HD Tweak works quite well for me.
Same goes for Advanced Config.
These are all the tweaking tools I really need for my TP2.
