Hi,
The only thing I miss from the regular WinMo interface is the fact that TF3D does not show what are my tasks or a todo list.
I'd love to have a tab show up in TF3D that would let me see my tasks (and their due times, if I add that), ways to add a new tasks, assign times to them, categories, reminders, etc. If it could sync with an online service like Remember The Milk(.com), that'd be even better.
I think an app like that is very important for productivity fanatics. Having a tab in the TF3D would reduce the need for anyone to explicitly call an app (like RTM has an app, but you need to open it to see tasks) and having a tab telling you at all times what your tasks/todos are would be amazing!
Now, I've searched for an app like this and couldn't find one. But if there is a TF3D app like this and I didn't see it, please forgive me for making a thread about it and post me a link to such an app if it exists.
If not, someone please contribute.
Thanks!
Dito!
Yeah... me too! I asked for this six months ago, but the response I must say, was slightly less than enthusiastic. It seems not many people care about seeing what tasks they have planned. Perhaps we're the only people in this forum that have anything planned?!

Yeap, I'd love to have my task list show up on TF3D.

sigh, I guess no one's going to make anything.
Why not use SecondToday combined with TodayAgenda. Both are freely available. You can modify one of the buttons on your Today screen to link to SecondToday, which will than show you your full agenda (including tasks, birthdays, ...), up to 45 days in the future.
Yeah id love that too, well one could use Second today but the tab thingy sounds more appealing to me
yes, appealing
To me, about a month later, it also sounds very appealing...
Nothing's come up in the meantime?
the reason for no new tabs for tf3d is not the lack of interest, its more the high complexity required to build the required lua scripts
i do like the idea however!

A quick solution could be to remap one of your softkeys to call your to do list.
In my case I have re-mapped the left soft key using a registry editor:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Softkeys:HomeLSKPath = \Program Files\Agenda One\Agenda One-tasks.lnk
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Softkeys:HomeLSKText = To Do List
Hope this helps

I was wondering if anyone is working on a way to give the "PocketCM" treatment to outlook. If ever there was a need to add some finger friendliness to an app, Outlook is the one. Is there a technical reason that this has not been done, or is it simply not possible? Can there be an app that interacts with Outlook that would give this sort of functionality?
I know that there are a LOT of talented dev here, and I use your apps, and man would it be sweet (Like I would even pay for test versions of an app/client) to have something like this to go along with the S2 app and POcketCM/ThumbCal.
Sigh.......uh.........FTouchSL.
Is Google still working?

*Gasp* Wow! You mean FTouchSL now resizes hyperlinks and attachments and contact boxes and menu options and all that so that I don't have to hit them with a fingernail?! Man, I have TOTALLY not been keeping up with THAT piece of software! I'm so glad you informed us about those new developments in the FTouchSL world, Champ. I mean, I'm sure you're not equating "finger-friendly" entirely with just the ability to scroll, because that would just be incredibly short-sighted, asinine and totally miss out on a lot of what the original poster was probably asking for. So thanks, I'm going to go check out their new version right now.

Another sigh.....
PocketCM's contact input is quite similar to poutlook, I would suggest a different app, but the OP wanted a finger friendly poutlook, so yes I did suggest FTouchSL. One of the biggest downsides, in my opinion and I'm sure others, is that there is no "flick n' scroll" feature avail. So, that's right, I suggested it, and it is a perfect way to make poutlook finger-friendly, have a better idea?
P.S.: I'll quote the OP here, "Can there be an app that interacts with Outlook that would give this sort of functionality?"

I also want to quote OP (and this is his first sentence): "I was wondering if anyone is working on a way to give the "PocketCM" treatment to outlook."
you are just trying to manipulate what OP said for you own cause...
so.. what your answer should have been.. "if you want scrolling then go for FtouchSL or Ftouchflo (free version), for other functionalities, currently there is no software (atleast i dont know about)"

No manipulation here, personally I'm not too worried with what this guy uses or will use, but I gave a suggestion. Currently, your right, there is no other addition, other than FTouchSL, to WM software that will make it "finger friendly", but I'm sure glad you also found it necessary to go against my opinion. While this doesn't modify poutlook's design or layout, the scroll option does make it easier to browse through and select your data for viewing. I'll kick back here and wait for your suggestion !

actually "atleast i dont know about" was as much for me as for you..
and blowfish you can take it easy.. i think champ just misunderstood the OP..
I appreciate the "spirited" response my post has elicited! My intent was to truly get away from the stock Outlook interface as it is damn near impossible to navigate with one hand, even with FTouchSL. I have been using a trial version, and I have found, though the app is a pretty sweet piece of work, that it interferes with the "finger friendliness" of other app designed to handle kinetic scrolling and the like on their own.
With apps like PocketCM and ThumbCal, I am able to avoid much of the insanity of the GUI for Calendars, Contacts, and SMS. I would LOVE to have it this way with email as that is something that is integral to my core business and primary use of the device.
Greetings,
I am issuing this request (maybe to A_C) for a program code named Slide 2 Switch. It is essentially an AltTab program where it prioriztizes the programs youuse. So if you open File Explorer and then settings it gives file explorer 2 and settings 1. So if you slide your finger from left to right it shows priority 1. If you slide your finger from right to left it shows lowest priority. is it possible to build somehting this simple? I am not that good at coding but making some animation would make it cool to. Thanks.
since we are requesting for A_C great S2x programs, i would like a S2R, a reading threaded sms program =) i use sms-chat now but its slow to start =/
S2C contacts would be nice too
actually, if all my programs were S2x i would like even more my phone =D

why not buy an iPhone ? No, just a joke, I really love A_Cs apps too. But think further: If everything looks like Apple / iPhone, whats the use of it ? Although it might be skinable it is just a copy of what Apple has achieved. In fact, there are lots of apps with lots of potential - but most coders don´t care any about usability or interface design. A_Cs apps are, amongst others, popular because of the UI. But please, just take a look at apps like PointUI: simply genius UI, and it does NOT look like iPhone !
regards,
Martin
Wow! This is literally like the 5th thread I've seen in the last month with "S2*" requests.
PM A_C!!!
Agreed, theres no need to make a thread for requesting stuff. Just Private message the guy!
Hi guys, hopefully this'll be a simple one. Like the TF3D calendar app, I'd like to see this one with a TF3D tab. It's just a notepad, really. I'm not bothered about loading/saving different note files, would just like a note to appear on the page, editable of course. It would be up to the user how to use it, but for me, it would just be for reminders, or to-dos.
I'd like to see what peoples' thoughts are on this one, and look forward to seeing what happens
Thanks!
I second that!! I think it would be great to just write something quick and sto store it in the TF Notepad tab. that should be great!
I'd be interested to see what ideas others have for this.
I was also thinking about text entry... maybe it wouldn't be done through TF3D, but more like how text messages are written - a button leading to the note editor, and all the TF3D app does is reference a note file for display or something.
Or more, like Notepad/Paint..
could be quite nice to have a paint-program in TF3D
Maybe something like this!?
Use the stylus to write something directly in a TF3D Tab!!
It's a fake!.. so no comments like 'Please, Please can u make it for me!?' or 'Where can I download it?!
Like that indeed
Put a TFLO3d border around it and a tflo3d scrollthingie and off you go.
Just slik.

I'd also like to see plain text entry, as my handwriting is appalling, doubly so on the Diamond
Well, text-based notepad is planned for my new iPhone-like UI (and then for standard manila). But no handwriting possible - manila don't have any drawing API.
this software allows you to write within any other program running, you do not have to be "in" TF3D.
the problem is, that when using stylus - insead of being able to write - you scroll.
http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=calcnote.html
any ideas?
you should desactivate scrolling in touchflo maybe with some registry key like i do on my trinity with the adapted touchflo (touch scrolling features and cube in trinity). But scrolling will be desactivated for all others app...
perhaps on top of the notepad.. could includes note browser to choose archive notes or start new notes.. and better off have page navigation..

this was a feature available in TF in trinity etc. you cannot edit TF on diamond.
however- the builtin notepad works fine with scrolling - other software does not work as well: calcnote, and Phatpad - same issue.
ideas?
Like I said before, I think something that worked similar to how you write text messages, where it displays the messages in TF3D, but editing takes place in the standard text messaging app. So, for this idea, you'd see the notes in TF3D, but editing them would be done in the notes app or something. That's not inconsistent with the way other TF3D apps work, and it gets around the scrolling problem. You could probably flick through notes like you would a text message.

Not sure exaclty what your looking for but I use an app called "The Pad" from www.visualit.co.uk installed and remapped my right soft key to open the pad. Really useful for scribbling notes, telephone numbers etc on the fly.
Steve
Hi,
Contrary to a lot of users I am very happy with Tf3D and the functionality it delivers. One aspect bugs me though, and could be so much better; the people tab. Currently I have to scroll through a long list to get to the person I want to contact. It would be so much easier if the people tab was arranged like the programs tab, with a nice grid.
Now, I don't have any WM/TF3D development experience whatsoever, so I am wondering if this is even remotely possible. It would really make TF3D so much better imho.
I second that. I had manila2d installed on the old Mogul - Would be great to have the people tab like that on the TP & diamond
anyone?
*bumping the thread*
its totally stupid...I disabled the contacts page, because its more work to find someone there, then going to a contacts manager (Phonex)
If someone could do this..it would be great!
I just got an idea - is there no command line, mortscript or something that could call a number? If that would be possible, we could use the programs tab...
bump.
I'd also be happy with a decent today plugin to call or text my favorites on my SecondToday Screen. The commercial ones (few as they are) sadly have very little customization - the pictures are way too tiny and too close together.
contact listing tab
bumpies//
I just want my people tab to BE the general contact list; any way to have that?
Same goes for the Email and SMS tabs - I want them to BE their respective inboxes. If there are more than one account for email configured, it should show the account picker there instead. How hard could this possibly be?
However, I have no programmatic experience, but PLENTY of user-testing experience.
Ideas as to how/where to look for these modifications?
I am on a stock Sprint rom (I think its 1.03 something) and the phone is still pretty much brand new (less than a month since delivery). I have only modified a few things so far, paying close attention to backup along the way with SPB Backup (I'm not entirely new to WM6.1, but this is my first Touch screen phone/PPC).
Imagine...
HTC Sense with your own widgets.
HTC sense already includes the following:
Home, SMS, Mail, Weather, Twitter, Footprints, Settings, and more.
But what if they would finally made it possible to let us make our own widgets?
This would seriously beat the crap our every other phone!
We would have:
Radio, ebay, MusicID, Newspapers, webcam view, translator and alot more.
Or a simple "Applications" Tab, where we find another bar with more tabs for putting apps into "folders"(tabs).
Its real sad htc have not made a SDK, or other kind of function to create our own tabs.
I personally think HTC sense is the best UI out there. the best i have seen on any mobile phone, but lacks the ability to customize it ourselfs.
Is it possible to hack the Sense UI to make this possible? (if someone can do this im happy to donate about 20 dollars, and i think more people are)
If not, we should make a large email, or online voting system to anyways draw the attention of HTC as a large company.
And yes, i know the other UI's available for windows mobile. But HTC sense is just....quietly brilliant
it seems to be possible to add new bars to the sense / touch flo.
as you can see when you use the manila tv player!
i think people should just start designing their apps for it, and maybe some experienced dev. could give an short tut how to find what you need to fasten the development

Okay, I'll make it a simple choice for you then.
No, you cannot currently add your own tabs to the Sense UI. It may become possible in the future, but it is highly unlikely, and the most likely event is that you get 1 or 2 additions to the tabs, but not something that you specifically want.
If you want either your iPhone or customizable tabs on the HD2, stick with your iPhone.

Personally, I don't have any interest in this happening. Since I can have lots of apps running at the same time and flick between them with a couple of clicks, it's actually easier to do that than it would be to put everything on the Sense UI.
Also, the Start menu is always 1 simple button click away, and that has everything on the phone listed.
I just don't think that this is a big deal.
It is possible, there's just no SDK, so it is complicated.If you want an SDK, please turn to HTC.
Personally, I don't use Sense at all, so I would not want that people develop pages for Sense instead of real WM applications.
I use the WM Default interface and TaskFacade to switch between open programs, which is much more convenient than scrolling through HTC Sense tabs, at least for me.
And by the way, if you need a reason to switch to the HD2, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsQHRtUtW0c&feature=player_embedded
That alone is enough of a reason to switch.

well as i said i like the sense feel, theme and Gui the most of all things i have tried on all phones.
And im not talking about task switching here but improving htc sense by adding custom tabs.
i like the windows mobile default interface for task switching, but i will use HTC sense for launching a app, and watching the weather, twitter, newspapers, TV, and many stuff like that, if it was possible.
I found Max Manilla makes customizing the HTC sense possible a bit, but not completly. Il try contacting him but i think its gonna be hard to implent.
As I said, you can add your own tabs, there's just no SDK to make it easy.

It would be so great to have one page where all your programs were. Where you could organize them in folders and launch widgets from. We totally need to make this happen.
Oh wait, anyone ever hear of THE START MENU? It's faster than sliding to a Manila tab and has more functionality in one location.

And it doesnt fit with the design. Yes, i care about beauty and design.
Starting a program is definately not the same, as if the information you r lookin for was directly shown in a sense tab. Its not just the look but also the feeling, that it is somehow integrated in your home screen and you dont have to start a program for that (always hated the app-binded UI on iphone). But the major factor is, that sense-functionalities might be connected with each other (p.ex. calendar and home-tab, footprints and album), which has not been done too well yet .
In my opinion it would for example just be nice to have a newspaper-tab where you can slide through different newspapers (like the accounts in email-tab) with a little overview of whats inside today, tap to chose one and scroll through the articles, be notified if theres somethin you are interested in and so on...
But i also have to state, that i am already quite happy with sense as it is and that wishes like these might be too far away...
I hope many new tabs will be created in the future.
I just need one more tab that list current running programs. So i don't have to press any buttons.

Here's your solution... sort of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616415
That creates a Manila tab where you can add any standard Windows Mobile today screen plugins (like RSS readers etc.).
