Hi there!
I have decided that I need something more business oriented for my diamond's today screen, so I am using Manilla control to work with pocket breeze (in order to get best of both worlds). Now what I need is a plugin which works well on my diamond, pocket breeze and manilla control and gives you time, missed calls and smss. I have tried to install the HTC Home plugin but i had to hard reset the phone ... since it did not want to get past startup! Thats why I decided to ask this time...
I m sure you have plenty of options and ideas ... maybe you could post a screenshot too of the application you propose...
Thanks,
Franklin
I'm in the same situation as you, I don't think you'll find a solution to directly integrate PB into TF3D. You'll have to change to another user interface that supports 3rd party plugins eg. Wisbar AD and a few others.
It's a shame HTC didn't include 3rd party plugin support in the new TF3D 2.
Yeah
Yesss... I know that you can't use both ... what I am asking is what plugin (3rd part) is compatible with manilla controller (used to switch between touchflo and today screen) and pocket breeze to add some phone info!
You mentioned on program there ..are there anyother ones worth mentioning? I wanted a HTC Home Plugin sort of effect (missed calls, sms and a clock)
Thanks for any replys.
Well for notifications, missed calls, SMS, Emails etc I use PhoneAlarm by PocketMAX, the latest version has many different types of skins etc and itself is a fairly powerful program.

Hi all,
I'd like to create and use some phone profile (outdoor, office, beeper, silent...) on my Jam!
Is there any good program?
Yeah, I don't have the URL, but do a web search for PocketZenPhone. It's awesome.
Try this.
Works fine on my MDAc
http://www.modaco.com/Latest_Version-t205779.html
Try this too: http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
It basically what the other two software does but with more functions.
Hi, this util looks cool, can you confirm if it will work on my XDAII??
yeah I can confirm it! and this is a kill app!!!
PhoneAlarm works wonder, really a great tool.
PocketZenPhone
PocketZenPhone (http://zendrui.free.fr/index.htm)
It is the best. Install it as a tray icon (better than today plug-in)
I dont think so, I prefer the today plugin and besides profiles PhoneAlar m does so many more things like controlling BT and GPRS, showing SMS,MMs, EMAIL, VOICEMAIL and missed calls. PocketZenPhone may have the tray icon and I'd love to see that in PhoneAlarm but the interface of PZP is locking relly ... well crappy.
I like the possibility to choose my profile in PPCProfilesPro by using the keys instead of the stylus.
Big icons and also BT-Control.
But will give phoneAlarm a chance. We will see.....
Advantage of PPCProfilesPro: Free
That is very true. BUT using phonealarm you can use the keys to change profiles too! And it has BT control too besides WLAN can GPRS control. And it has built in data tracking and a billing option.
PPCProfilesPro is the free version and because of that will always have a huge plus but when it comes to functionality and style I think phonealarm is best. Would PPCProfilesPro cost too, it would be easy to favor phonealarm but since PPCProfilesPro is free this is tough.
It all comes down to your wallet, can you affort to spend a few bucks - then phonealarm is the better choice. If not, PPCProfilesPro will do fine.
PocketZenPhone for me
Having looked at the various options here, I chose PocketZenPhone, for three reasons:
1. Reasonable $7 registration price.
2. Can be set up as a tray icon, today plug-in, or both.
3. Integrated with Outlook. Now my phone will never go off during a meeting again. I simply set PocketZenPhone to turn off the sound and ringer whenever a calendar event occurs. Works great.
Note that I liked the tray icon so much that I didn't try the today plug-in.
Haven't seen any trial information (e.g. 5day full use or limited functions) for phoneAlarm?
I'm trying PhoneAlrm anc "Zen" but... too complex for what I need!
I'm just lookin' for a simple program that let me chose a profile (okay for today plugin or try or toolbar...) that impact only on phone ringin'/type level and PDA reminder/sms (I think these two levels are just what appairs when tap the symbol ov volume...)
I tried last version of PPCProfilePro but seems to lock my Jam.... :-(

Would you please describe this lock in your Jam?
Maybe I have the same problem and could so a have the chance to find the problem.
I have the same problem on my S100 with PPCProfiles Pro.
After installation and restart, my ppc hangs and I have to do an hard-reset!
Luky me, I have done a full backup before installation.
It's strange, because at the PpcProfiles support forum many people use this software with the same hardware.
At the end of the story, I choose PhoneAlarm instead PocketZenPhone, firstly for profile switching by keys, and secondly for better UI.

IIRC, It trials for 30 days. Both PZP and PA has their strengths...
I install the old PPCProfile-Pro V2.00c and it works fine!
U can read my problems in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28906
but 3 days ago a missed my PPCProfile Icons and I had to reinstall PPCProfile. From this my problem seemed to be solved.
(Knock.Knock.Knock on Wood...)
Thanks to Markino for your hint to identify the application which makes my problem!!!
@thehobbit78
The newest version of PPCProfile can change the profiles with the keys on the today screen as well.
Since yesterday I try both: PPCProfile and PhoneAlarm because i found no possibility to see the alarm icons AND all my profiles at the same time!
I love being able to access my calendar on my phone. However, it seems like I just get small chunks at a time with the built in calendar app. When I zoom out to see my whole week for example, I only see blue lines. I don't see exactly what the appointment is.
I know that is in no small way due to the limited size of the screen but I am looking for a more effective way to display my calendar.
I am currently trying pocket informant and it gets me closer to what I want. However, it has a couple screwy issues such as the bottom arrow of the scroll bar not being displayed etc.
So, what do you guys use? Or, are you happy with the built in calendar app?
Is there another forum that would be better for me to post this question? It's not directly related to the 8525 after all.
I'm using Pocket Breeze and very satisfied with it.
i use today agenda, its a killer app with many different customizations.. Dr. P got me hooked on this app!
http://tiews.info/index.php?show=software/todayagenda
I use SPB Diary, perfect today plugin that completely replaces the agenda. It's also the only today plugin I use or need.
I use SBSH.net PocketBreeze. I beta tested SPB Diary 2.0 and even tried the final version but wanted more control over customizing so I stuck by PocketBreeze. Still SPB Diary is also a fine product. You can't go wrong with either IMO. If you want to see your appointments in Calendar though I think you have to use one of those Power PIM apps [Agenda Fusion, etc etc] personally I find them overkill for my needs I stay with the default PIM and PocketBreeze.
I like pocketbreeze for the today screen display of the calendar. It's just when I go into the calendar app itself that I'm thinking there should be something better.
I'll check out your ideas. Anyone else?
I like the FREE Calendar+
http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10
Not a replacement for the MS Calendar, but rather a Today plugin.
I think it looks very similar to "View as Agenda" on blackberry.
also try out pocket informant alot of PB users also use that app.
Another vote for TodayAgenda. Excellent app. Free, small and highly configurable.
I've been using Pocket Breeze and Pocket Informant together since I had my old Orange M2000 and it works very well for me.
Guys,
Do we have a CAB file for either iLauncher (http://www.sbsh.net/products/ilauncher/index.php?page=summary) full version or something similar that will allow us to create our own shortcuts on the today screen?
Control your Pocket PC using the all new iLauncher, packing together the most important set of utilities to better manage your Pocket PC!
iLauncher is an all-in-one application that brings the most powerful utilities that are missing from the Pocket PC operating system to your Pocket PC device in one package. These include: A tab-based launcher Today screen plugin with various information widgets such as battery and memory meters, speed dial shortcuts, screen capture utility and more; A task manager context menu that allows you to track and control the current active applications; A true 'X' button functionality that really shuts-down running applications as opposed to simply minimizing them; A safe-mode protection utility that makes sure your device will always initialize correctly and much more!

yes, wisbar advance desktop
its amazing, and does exactly what you want, also has the option to add meters such as battery or ram and other great stuff, including today plugins, except calendar. Can also be made to look like an iphone [like mine]. It has unlimited possibilities and you can do whatever you want with it. And the best bit, only 10 usd (5gbp) amazing i know! screenshots of mine if you really need them!

oh yeah, its a great plugin. Well worth the money.
Don't warez.
never seen this before, looks almost identical to spb pocket plus today screen
pff pocketage or WAD(or both)
Recomended
Use Claunch, very similar to iLaunch, only free. Sorry no link, just have to google it.
I have used Claunch for several months om WM5 and it was perfect, but after upgrading to WM6 i'm having some troubles with it. it for sure will not work together with HTC taskmanager 2. it would be very nice if they came up with a stable WM6 version
It is stable for me, now that I use WA3, it sometimes would not appear on my today screen without a refresh before I moved up to WA3, never liked the htc taskmanager much, there are so many taskmanagers, wisbar is the king in my book.
I saw that in the developing session they made a touch cube look a like application,but works for wm5-6....do you think it will be possible to have one for wm2003??
No it's not possible 'cause TouchFLO uses some files which aren't available for WM2003SE, I think!
at the end with our "fantastic specifications" of the Alpine but with wm2003, we can't try anything that could be useful...
.I think at the end I will take an HTC TOUCH CRUISE!!!
I should say that I am trying the spb pocketplus 4 and all smart scrolling (like iphone and Htc touch) are working...so why you say that it is not possible to have cube on wm2003 device???
They could do the same job they are doing for all other device without touchflow technology
i would also like the cube for wm2003, im using spb pocket plus 4 as well, & love the scrolling! is there any possible way for the cube to work on wm2003?? even a launcher? or somthing?
how can i activate the smart scrolling on spb 4
how can i activate the smart scrolling on spb 4?
Try this application, Slither2006's cube, SCLPC++. The latest version is WM5 only but he has released aversion which works just fine on my Alpine, the only caveat is that you can't use a finger swipe to start the application, just assign it to a button and you are good to go. All the other rotations etc are done withing the application itself.
Hi there,
the calendar application on the HTC Touch Diamond is nice and I use it a lot. However, I really miss the "touch features" that this phone offers in the other TouchFlow3D apps like viewing/browsing media such as Pictures, Music and People.
I want to use my thumb to 'slide' to the next day, or the next week or whatever. Is it possible to achieve this in the standard Calender on the touch diamond (windows mobile 6.1), or is there another calendar application out there which I should install?
Cheers!
Yes, there is another application called thumbcal. You can even connect the calender-link on manila home to thumbcal using SSMapa.
http://www.thumbapps.com/pages/home/thumbcal.php
Thumbcal is realy finger-friendly and it works perfect for me, but you only get a 14day trial for free on the legal way...
Cool
I'll try that, cheers!
