Hi Guys!
I wasn't online for a long time, i think everything has changed here
Well...i started this thread, because i cannot read through all unread threads...
Maybe i could help others with this Thread, too!
concern in this thread:
Currently im using Battery-Status + UltimateLaunch...It's very stable, but i don't like the theme anymore...also it doesnt support landscape...
So i want a new "Today Plugin".
"Wishlist" for the TodayPlugin:
- Portrait + Landscape Support
- Good looking (maybe a "modern" style)
- Stable (no Beta's, besides its stable!)
- Today-Screen integration (No MobileShell,PointUI,..., cause it's a "lay-over"-App(Reason for this: With this apps you need a hack/workaround, that the original today screen is NEVER shown!))
- low requirements (fast)
- Customizable (Define Program Pages, and define my own sms,mail,calendar,... -apps)
Which today plugin can i use???
If you don't want to help me, just ignore the thread

Truth is there is nothing that is %100 how you requested. Not yet anyway.
You have three you can look into:
Throttle Launcher (My favorite---ThrottleLauncher.com)
Manilla2D
GSmart
There is also HTC Home, but I think your more into the above stuff.
You must at least try Manila2D (TouchFlo2D).
thx very good article
thx very good article
Hi there!
I've tried Manilla 2D and...wow, THIS is what im searching for
BUT i have a lot of problems with it...
I've downloaded from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173&highlight=Manila2D
the zip file "manila.zip" (the first downloadlink in this post) and installed all apps, including the 12MB big cab "Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926.CAB"
then i installed the manilla2D configuration tool...
then i've downloaded the german translation, an copied all files in the "windows" folder of the archive to my windows-folder of my device...
then i've downloaded the "bliss" theme (tsk+wall) and copied it also in my windows folder...then i activated the tsk file...
after this, m2d was starting...but i have following problems with it:
- If i switch to landscape, m2d stays portrait...so the bottom items are cropped...
- i cant see any text on the home tab....i can see the icons of "calendar" and "missed calls", but i CAN't see any text next to it! same problem on the "settings tab"...just the icons, no text...the same problem in the HTC album (if i click on a picture in the picture tab the album shows up...if i click the bottom right icon, i can see 4 lines..i think these are the options, but i cant see any text!!
- if i go to the weather tab, i cant see anything...blank screen...(maybe its the same issue, such as the "no-text"-issue in the tabs i mentioned above?)
- in the sms tab sometimes, there is "(null)" instead of the date...in the mail app this "(null)" is ALWAYS shown instead of the date...
- where can i download themes for m2d and add it in the m2d configuration tool?
- and is it normal, that i have to overwrite the background-png in the "manilaGFX" folder to gain my own background in m2d??
please help, manila2d is so beautiful

Dude, I know that you are confused, but everything is in the Manilla thread.
This thread shouldn't be opened.
the plugin (application) in my opinion would best meet all your requirement is wad 2, eventhough it is not free but you can download a trial version. it is highly customizable and you can find some very beautiful and modern looks. this is best application if you want to replace your desktop.
p.s recommended for advanced users only

Hi everybody, I hope this is not a too stupid question, but which setting should I use in S2U2 to display the weather? I use the build in weather forecast in the touch hd, but it seems not to matter what I select, it is never anything shown on the start screen .

First make sure you have the weather feature of S2U2 enabled and then select Manila 3D
works fine here
cheers
Thanx
Thanx for the tip, it seemed to work for a moment after a soft reset, but than I got a call (2sec after restart), and it was gone again . So I think i now know which is the real one, but it just doesn't work for me.
I have the 15 tabs installed, could that be a reason? Do I have to change any setting directly in the weather tab itself? To activate it, do I have to do anything else in S2U2 than to choose how to display it?

maybe the 15tab is the issue but i cant confirm this since i dont use this mod.. maybe someone else confirm this?
i don't think that's the 15 tab issue cause i 've never installed it though the weather on S2U2 doesn't seem to work. I've got the same that Bill80 got. Somebody can help with this?
Same here...after a soft reset the first time S2U2 is started the weather is displayed. The second time S2U2 is started the weather is not beeing displayed anymore!

Ascenca
as i understood the reason that weather is shown after a soft reset is because TFlo3D hasn't launch yet. As i read in a other post, when you deactivate your Manila 3D then the weather on S2u2 works, when is activated the weather on S2u2 doesn't work. Funny huh??? may someone here knows how to fix it?
Did anyone find the answer to this yet? I have the same problem.
My mate also has touch HD and his weather shows fine on S2U2, so I copied his settings exactly and it still didn't work for me.
Would really love to have this working!
The answer is simple. so long you aktiv Touch 3D, so long the icons for s2u2 will not show. just off in "Home" Item "TF3D".
When the s2u2 start you will see actually all icons. I mean you will see the icons if you have got an email or missed call and you will see weather.
I hope I could help you
Thanks, but there's more to it than that. My mate uses Touch 3D/Touchflo on his, and the weather works fine on S2U2 so it IS possible.
I just wish I knew why his works and mine does not!
Do you have any weather database editor installed?
This was the problem on my HTC. After uninstalling the weather database editor, the weather icon was shown in S2U2.
With Weather Master it doesn´t work too.
I hope this problem will fixed soon...
Or is there any solution yet???
Cheers Michel

That did the trick with me . Now only my hometown is gone .
I did have SPB weather and also a weather editor app (can't recall which) installed but I removed them both.
Also today I got rid of memmaid, Singh's 15 tab mod, and the 18 tab wedge action screen. After removing all these the Weather appeared once on S2U2, but has not been back there again since. Any ideas?
i have managed to make touchflo disappear from the today menu. it happened after using ssaap? the program remapping software. I can run it from file explorer but how do i get it back. i could live without it if i could find a nice weather plugin for homepage
I suppose you tried the obvious and reenable TF3D via Start>Settings>Today>Plug-ins>select TF3D?
If that doesn´t work, I´m afraid I can´t help you.....
Yeah I have the same problem. My Touchflo has dissappeared yesterday. I hadn't even installed anything new! Been through to the today settings and removed toucflo. Then put it back on and even after doing this it does not show up.
Please Please Please can anyone help with this?
touchflo has actually disappeared from settings screen. Its not there?. All because i wanted to set agenda as my calender. It was going great until I tried to change the appointment link on screen and then gone. I recon I will re install duttys rom which is excellant. Its seems really fast.
Try a "full restore" with SSMaPa.......
Hi all,
I have an issue on a nearly brand new Hero (Orange FR).
Each time I reach the weather page (the standard big one) the following message appears:
"Sorry! The application TouchFlo (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".
I have to click on "Force close" to relaunch the touchFLO layer.
I reseted the phone: same issue.
I reinstalled the Orange ROM located on the HTC website (RUU_Herrange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriver): same issue.
Any idea?
Thank you for your help.
Gilles
thats strange.
many people had this issue when there was a problem with PEEP not working correctly after some API changes from Twitter.
But then Peep was fixed and the error message went away.
So if you deactivate the weather widget you dont have any issues?
Thank you for your answer.
If I remove the HTC weather widget (the big one) from the page the TouchFLO doesn't crash anymore.
More weired, if, instead of the big weather widget, I install on the page four medium ones, the issue doesn't appear neither.
Therefore my conclusion is: I have a problem with the "full page" HTC weather widget.
To be more precise, the outage occurs when the widget starts to update the weather.
Very very strange...
Not sure if this will help, but probably worth a go. My Hero was crashing several times a day, I was missing calls because it would crash as soon as it prepared itself to recieve an incoming call. Texts would disappear into a black hole while typing them and receiving them. TouchFlo would close down for no reason and many other apps were crashing every time I used them.
The problem seems to be my SD card though, I've booted into Android System Recovery and chose the option "repair ext filesystems". It's not crashed since.

Gilles, I have the same issue. I think it appears the first time when i installed ans uninstalled the Pandahome app. I don't know if it can help !!
At first I tried a hard reset. Still the weather widget not working. Then I downloaded the official Rom from HTC and installed it. So, a clean machine, nothing extra installed. Still the weather widget not working and TouchFlo stopping????

could be a h/w problem with the radio or somthing simlar
I've had problems with Open Home crashing on me and I was wondering if it had anything to do with the Weather Widget or similar app.
I have also taken out Panda Home now and may just try a different clock too and see how it goes on Open Home.
My HTC Sense has crashed today which never did, so must be something to do with a replacement home and maybe another app.

Installed rhe newest radio but the problem is still there. Very strange is when I turn of the automatic location function and put in another city it works?? Than putting in my hometown, 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, is also works. But when I put on the automatic location and it locates s'-Hertogenbosch on the homescreen, ans I go to the weatherwidget it crashes again. So, is has to do something with the name of my hometown.
I'm suddenly having this same problem, on a non-rooted Hero.
I have some fundamental confusion because, based on a battery-life-extender sticky thread at AndroidForums, the information included that the default HTC SenseUI flipclock with weather was a battery drainer due to constant auto-refreshing of weather info. Their recommendation was to INSTEAD use an alternate FlipClock widget from Android Market ... one that I believe may have been created here at XDA -- because it had tons of customization for every aspect of the flip clock -- with about 25 different clock skins, and 15 or so weather icon skin-sets.
It had been working just beautifully for a week or so, and then I cannot recall what it is I did, but it was I believe, after installing a new app from Market that upon some eventual action, i got that selector pop-up that says "use Home, TouchFLO, or (something else)" and the checkoff box "always use this selection".
I don't recall what I pressed but ever since that I have had this problem.
I had, prior to this problem, saved off "Scene" settings which i hope will protect and restore my 7 screens to how I had them, because like everyone I spent a long time getting it like i liked it, having experiemnted with multiple apps and widgets to find my own ideal layout and selections of apps/widgets.
What troubleshooting steps can you recommend? thank you
I've just upgraded to the official 6.5 ROM.
If I select the Weather tab, after a moment's pause the screen changes to one just showing HTC in the centre, then returns to the Today screen.
If I click on My Location under the flippy clock, this seems to take me to the Weather tab again, and the same happens.
Under 6.1 I had added locations to the Weather app, following instructions found on the forum.
Can anyone please help me get the Weather functionality back?
Thanks!
Hi
can anyone try to explain me how this " my location thing " works?
One the home screen right under the clock I can see just "my location" text a thats it..I am unable to find any information on the internet.. Any time I try update it manualy from weather menu I get message about communication problem..But when I manualy added few other locations there is no problem at all..Just "my" location info is still empty..Does anybody know how to tell my bloody phone where am I ? I know it sounds funny but something is definetely wrong..Thanks for any answer..
Yeah and I am running stock version of HTC WM 6.5 recently downloaded from their site..
I am just wondering when they will fix all those problems with new ROM. Like crazy clock when locking my device or flashing light notifications..I would rather wait for new ROM few more days then have problems like this..

On your homescreen you can click the "My location" and from there select what location should be seen on the homescreen. Go to the weather tab first to add your city.
OMG that stupid I am ? Thanks very much m8 ..
I've got My Location set OK, but still can't get the Weather tab to function at all - I just get returned to the Today screen.
Hmm, maybe im doing something wrong. I cant get my location to update in the main weather tab but i can add citys as the other user said. However if i click the "my location" tab under the clock on the main screen, it takes me to the weather tab of my location which is blank as it wont update for some connection error but i cant see how i can make one of the other citys i have added to appear on my homescreen?
I couldn't get this to work either... but I've got it working now... for some reason nothing works until you go to weather tab --> menu --> settings and select " download weather automatically"
After that, if you select "my location" as your clock... it automatically updates to where you actually are... neat huh!

Still can't get Weather to work - if I go to the Weather tab I don't get a Menu option, I get a screen with HTC on the default background, options of Calendar and Contacts at the bottom, and just above these, on the right, a small picture of a generic 'computer' - as if to signify it's processing something.
Then, a few seconds later, I'm dumped back on the start screen.
Please can anyone suggest a solution? I did add cities to weather under 6.1 - could this be anything to do with it?
Thanks!

hmmm, sounds like manila/sense is actually crashing when you go to the weather tab, as the screen you describe just sounds like the blank today screen with no ui on top of it, then it is restarting tf3d and hence bringing you into home screen... odd
Unfortunately, trying to fix the problem I fear I've bricked the phone!
Thinking the issue was that I had edited the 2330fc3c_manila file (to add my location to the Weather cities) I searched for a 'virgin' copy, found what I thought would do the trick in a thread on this forum and installed it.
After this, and a reset, the phone wouldn't launch HTC Sense - the screen invited me to tap to launch it but wouldn't go further...so I tried to restore from a pre-6.5 backup.
Unless anyone knows a way of reviving it, the Topaz is on its way to the menders this afternoon!
I assume you did a hard reset and not just a soft reset?
Yep, tried that - it won't go past the initial screen.
Just reflash a rom. that should fix it
