today screen plugins - Touch 3G General

hi..i don't use touchflo because i prefer to use the standard windows mobile home screen..however, i realized the number of plugins available for the homescreen are really limited on the jade. is there anyway i can display missed calls and operator network on the today screen? i tried looking around the registry and i can't find anything..

Limited ?? well.. it depends on how high the expectation is. Anyway, if you choose not to use TF, then many plug-ins designed for WM 5.0 and above should work for Jade. There are many freeware plug-ins around.

There are registry settings that deal with operator network display. Here is an example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3248347&postcount=9 . However registry settings does not do the display, it only makes the info available. Some other apps/software need to take it and display on the screen.

hmm..i think i may not have phrased my qn correctly?
when i went to the today panel under settings..the amount of items that we can check to display on the home screen was pretty limited..there wasn't an option to display missed calls nor one that linked to the comm manager that i thought was pretty standard on winmo phones..hahas that's why i've been trying to figure out how to get those displayed again..i searched for home screen plugins but quite a few of those linked to stuff like spb mobile shell type..i don't need an entirely new home screen i just want to have the "missed calls" slot and the comm manager slot..
don't know if i asked correctly hahas..thanks a lot for the prompt reply and your help

Have a look at the software available at www.spbsoftwarehouse.com. It is paid but IMO worth the money.

@fenikso ....He just said he dosen't want a spb software and you gave us a link to mmmmmm spb Isn't this weird

He said he does not like SPB mobile shell because it is today screen replacement.
I do not like it either. They have a lot more than Mobile Shell. For example, SPB Phone suite is simple today plugin and does exactly what he wants.
Sorry if I am mistaken.
Here are some screenshots (in Czech language):

checked out the spb website! thanks fenikso..it is indeed packed with quite a lot of stuff. never checked it out before because i've always scouted around for the freeware hahas..
will purchase wat i need if necessary then..but i'll try to do with what i have currently first haha..i'm just a poor student..can't afford to spend extra cash on programs

VGA screens of your handheld browsing?

Since my wee JAM is dead (£85 to fix) I'm getting an XDA Exec to replace it - the 640x480 screen with WiFi and 3G appeals to me, since I no longer have a portable PC for my WiFi connection downstairs, and I wanna browse in bed!
Can someone post screens on the actual things browsing? Thanks!

EDIT: The Windows site is really terrible when it comes to promoting what their SW can do.... those few screens are fantastic...
Do us a favour, could yo also try http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=belfast&spn=0.005190,0.016145&hl=en as well, and what are you using to grab the screens as a matter of interest vijay?
I use Visual Studio 2005, which comes with a program called Remote Zoomin.
If you don't want to install this, use this:

Fantastic!
Hey vijay555,
What software is used to generate the "desktop" line screen view, rather than the "today" screen?
Also, what did you use to set VGA (I know of the VGA install available here - which I've tried)
However what did you do to display your dialer pad without the buttons being cropped?
And for anyone else, anyone yet know of a fix that allows us to toggle between VGA and QVGA depending on application?
Regards
Michael
Michael: the top two pictures are from a Universal running the VGA hack here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32217&highlight=
Not that it's important I think, but i'm using VJNina font modfied from from the SPV phone; I've also minimised my scrollbars down.
The second two are using Terminal Services to log onto an XP Media Center PC. I'm using my VJFullscreenTSC app to make it entirely fullscreen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33759&highlight=
So the "desktop" start bar is coming from XP Media Center, on the PDA
I don't get your question about the Dialer buttons.
If you mean this in VGA:
this is using my VJBigPhone app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33971&highlight=
All are detailed ony my website www.vijay555.com
Another hack I'm working on is to minimise the soft buttons (the blue menu buttons at the bottom) down to a smaller size, relocate the Today tray and ultimately remove the Start Bar:

PS I don't think there's a dynamic VGA QVGA switcher yet
Vijay, great work by the way...
After much consideration, the only application I want in VGA on my Qtek 9000 is Internet Explorer Mobile. Is there any way to just make that program run in high-resolution? Everything else could be QVGA as far as I'm concerned.
I just don't like the idea of installing a ton of hacks and having to soft-reset between needs.
I swear I am starting to dribble
How about a screen shot of video playing too???

thank for this help. it is useful for me in my project

Here it´s mine with my beloved Opera
Chhers,

Today Screen Appearance Combo

There are a couple of programs which modify the way the today screen appears:
1. No Plugins Today: toggles on/off items/plugin on today screen for a fresh looking today screen (http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/)
2. Vijay555's Toggletoday which enables a 16% larger screen
Is there way to combine the functionality of both programs into one. The purpose of this program is to:
1. Lower memory usage and mabe even save a little battery power
2. Allows for clear view of the today image
It might be possible to combine No Plugins Today with VJToggleToday, but is it necessary? It seems to me that although their usage is complimentary, building it into one program doesn't really help. Just run No Plugins Today when you need it, or my app when you need it.
If there's demand though, I'll consider building it in perhaps.

No today --> multiple today
Hi Guys,
I don't know if this is an idea. The no today screen plugin seems like a good idea. But how about switching between 2 different today screens. So it's possible to have for instance an today screen with the calender and tasks and other usefull plugin that have to do with dates etc. and a second today screen where you get all the information about ur pda e.g. battery, birthdays, overclocking, etc. or even communication today screen versus datebook today screen. I think you will understand what i mean.
I'm currently using the Orange homescreen plugin, but would love to have a hardware button assigned to switch between the trad. today screen and the orange one.
Maybe it is possible with no today screen haven't tested it yet. if it is disregard this message.
Cheers,
Shah

thanks Vjiay,
I'll try that out.
By the way do you also do request programs? because I had an idea to expand the Orange Homescreen application with certain extra items. Or do you know any programmers who would be interested.

You can try SK Today Commander (beta)
This can do 2-9 today screen profiles
We plan release it in nearest time.

Today launcher that supports big icons ?

Hello everybody !
After numerous attempts to customize my HTC trinity for a thumb-based experience, I finally got onto some applications that really do the job :
- Tene's PocketCM for the contacts
- ArticCat's OTO for the calendar (works well so far, however I hope to see more of it soon)
- Paulya's Vista II dialer replacement
- A_C's S2U for the lock and S2V for the pics viewer
- HTC's PhonePad for the SIP and Mediaplayer for the music player
- SPB's Mobile Shell for the navigation and the menus.
What I'm missing is a launcher that would work as a today plugin, and that would support large icons in PNG format (thus, with alpha transparency). By "big" I mean "larger than the default 32x32 pixels that all launchers support" - 48 or 60 pixels beeing the size I'm after (something large enough for my fat thumbs ). I don't need tab support, since there are only a small number of apps I want to access from the today screen (typically 8-12).
Do you know if anything that'd meet my needs exists for WM5? Even for a small/reasonable fee (means, around 10-15$) ?
Thanks a million in advance !
I think i used claunch to put a really big shortcut (64x64px) on my todayscreen

ThrottleLauncher
Search for the ThrottleLauncher thread here. No Today plugin yet but all indications are that it will be coming. Great launcher, you can size the rows the pictures are in to any size you wish. I am using 56picsels by 56picsels.
pocketage - no size limit
I tried to install PocketAge from the latest CAB I could find on this board, but something must have gone bad... My Trinity is now stuck as reboot
Everytime I soft-reset it, it got stuck then block at the following step :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Of course, none of the hard or soft buttons work and I can't dismiss this reminder. I tried to remove the corresponding event from outlook but I couldn't manage to sync the device. I noticed I can access the device filesystem. One strange thing, though, makes me thing that the system is not completely frozen : the clock on the reminder changes and shows the correct time.
Any idea how to recover my phone without having to hard-reset it ? Thanks !!!

yeah, claunch is a good one. it's a today plugin and you can use custom icons. not sure if they are png though never tried it. it has way more options than you need but you can configure it how you want....

[WM 6.5] Can we add custom Today Screen items?

Hi All,
I would be missing it completely, but can we add custom Today Screen items in WM 6.5? Something like what Titanium does? I dont want to use Titanium, but just add extra items to Today screen.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,
Chaks

i think you are talking about something like HS++ or rltoday.... installing those things should work fine just make sure you tick the appropriate box in today item...
Hi,
I want to create a new Today Screen item in the Windows Default Today screen like the Favorite People Plugin, but I dont want to use Titanium Plugin.
Is that possible?
Hi man,
have you finally find a solution, because i want to do the same but there is no Hello world app for that...
depending upon what version of manila you have, you could use TFDetacher (works with 2.1 but not 2.5). I use it to create a second today screen for my plugins, and have it set to a softkey to toggle between manila and the other today screen. I also use Second Today to have a third today screen that I have Weatherpanel as the only plugin; I use a hard key to toggle to it. Hope that helps.
I too am looking for a similar solution. I tried Titanium mod and I don't like it I gave it two tries and both times resulted in a hard reset. The program itself is fine and feature rich it just isn't mature enough for liking and I kept hitting too many bugs which for me made it unusable.
It ok I found one a little basic but works for my needs. I found it in the MS App store called "Home Screen Customizer" One thing I found straight away was the weather panel works for me first time. The titanium one always used to come back with either .net 3.5 message errors or state issues finding a certain url.
Also its quick and easy to just add my own apps to my own panel and remove default existing panels this all works on the fly without having to reboot or disable and reenable home screens.

I use Manila Today Page that added one more tab towards the end of the TF3D tabs.... Works wonders for me....
