How to change TF3D Calendar - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi,
I am running a HTC Diamond and have switched off TF3D mainly because of the crappy homescreen. Instead of that HUGE clock and fat calendar entries, I rather have Calendar++ today plugin and all the details for the next 3 days in a small font on my screen.
Can someone tell me if there is a hack/patch/theme/whatever to get a better calendar event list for the TF3D?
thanks!
Oliver

TF3D2. Look for it!

I have this of the photo. 3 appointments in the scrren with the big clock and five with the small clock. But i use a custom rom with manila2 , and i have done this modification myself by using manila file from hd for the first screen.. (I made clock a bit smaller and move everything to make space for 3 appointment)

XBMOD made for us his great manila with all your wishes, include multi appointment on home screen (5 appointment in small fonts...)

What can be shown on Homescreen of the HD?

Hi Folks,
i´ve just ordered my Touch HD, and i hope it will come to me before Santa (end of November i guess).
My question is: what can be seen on the homescreen of the HD? Today i use my good old friend, the wizard100. On the Todayscreen i have full Battery and Storage information, Weatherforecast for 4 Days, and calendar appointments showing up to 3 days. Also a today-link for tomtom. Is TF3D able to show this too? I need to see all these things on just one quick view. How customizable is TF3D?
Of coz u can.
Just install the softwares.
Which softwares in particular are you referring to?
My question was how many things is TF3D able to do without any external software. On my Wizard 100 i´ve installed following software: SPB Weather, SBSH Phoneweaver, SPB Time, Calendar+ , DeviceLock, Battrey Status nad TomTom. Except Tomtom i hope that TF3D could show me things like weather,Appointments and other things without installing other software. I like to use the HTC Homescreen, but i dont know how many information it is able to show?
Afaik it has the same home screen as the Diamond but probably with a little more info because of the added screen height. The diamond home screen shows clock, missed call status and first next calendar item.
And this is what i wanted to know: Do you think the HD would show more informations than the normal TF3D from f.e. the Diamond? This must be an complete different TF3D, or not?
It's not completely different, it is in fact rather similar. It has the same tabs bar the stock tab, and most tabs just show a little more info to complement to extra screen height. Also, it has very nice transitions between FLO/programs, much like the iPhone zoom effect.
Same trick is applied on the HD to make it 'feel' more slick and responsive.
Anyway, if you look at the French video on YouTube you will catch a glimpse of many of the tabs, including the home tab. It shows exactly the same stuff as on the Diamond, except I am guessing it will show more upcoming calendar events in the bottom.
You have a choice between TouchFlo3D or the normal Windows Mobile that you used to.
What you have on it will depend what Apps you like, its like your old PDA / PDA Phone. In other words, almost anything.
If you are just talking about the homescreen itself, than you get to see the same thing like on the touch diamond but when you scroll down, the list will be much longer so you can see more appointments. which is a good thing
oh and in the case you didn't know:
there is also a new "customize tabs: rearrange and remove tabs" setting !!

Todo's on front screen?

I am looking to buy the TD2 in the next 3 weeks and have a question regarding the touch flo interface
Can you display your upcoming/overdue todo's on the front screen as well as appointments?
T.I.A

Yes you can if you don't use TF3D. In the normal today screen, you can install a plugin called TodayAgenda (google for it) and that allows you to display and edit your Todo list. It's fantastic!
Unfortunately TF3D is not customizable except to remove or reorder its tabs. It does not work with Today screen plugins.
Thanks Jim
I knew I could display them without TF3D as I currently have PocketBreeze on my today screen of my current phone but really like the TF3D interface so I dont have to keep pulling out the stylus to do day to day stuff with the phone.
Are the ToDo's viewable from any of the tabs?

Please tell me how can you reorder the tabs.
I've been looking for this option and I haven't found anything yet.
Searching in this forum revealed only an old application for the "old" Diamond and old Manila.
Go to Settings, and click on Customize Tabs.
You can then untick ones you do not want to appear, and drag others into the order you want.
Thank you!
I've already solved this problem.
When you go to "Customize Tabs" there is a text on top of the page: "Drag Items to rearrange".
I must be blind but I didn't see that. The text is as big as my head but I didn't see it.
Dummy me …
That's what's happening when the interface is too user friendly
but... the items on the agenda do show up on the today screen.. I have a TD2 with TESS essentials ROM (WM 6.1 Manila 2.1), and the items that I have on my calendar do show up on the today screen as one line indicators.. but only when it's the day they are due...

Multiple appointments in the 6.5 lockscreen?

Is it possible to set for example the 3 closest upcoming appointments displayed on the wm6.5 lockscreen even if they are days ahead?
I want the same here... this happened to me today... I had 4 appointments and could only see 1
it would have been better to have smaller font or something and more appointments.
Well ... could be nice to set the amount of appointments/ birthdays/ etc.
and their fonts by myself !!!!!!
Yes this is a Common feature and this does exists in the Official WWE rom. I do have this.
I can see 3 appointments in my home screen and can minimize the manila clock (slide Up) to see all (today and tomorrow also)
Thanks.

Calendar look further in to future (homescreen)

Is there a way i can make my calendar look further in to the future for appointments? I have loked around but currently i dont get appointments shown beyond the next day or 2, I would prefer the next 5 events or so to be displayed!
(I have installed the tweaked cab from the hints section to get more calendar appointments displayed on the home screen).
I also want this feature!!!!!!
Anyone?
Me to, want this feature.
Calender with more future appointments
Hi, Calender on the HD2 default Homescreen does not show more appointments. My workaround is this :-
1 - install SecondToday - this adds another Today homescreen.
2 - install o2plusV2.3 - in this, the calender application will show the next 10 future appointments or the next 10 days. The cab file is o2plus2.3 >> see this link
//forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281237
I have used this on my o2zinc, htc HD and now HD2.
Hope it helps
You can get more than 1 appointment on your home screen on the hd2 without running 2 home screens, if you look in the themes section there is a cab (i forget which but if i find it i will link) that gives you 16 or 20 shortcuts and a calander that shows more than one appointment. The problem i have is how far forward sense is looking for appointments.

As I have stated, 10 future appointments - can be all 10 happening the next day OR these 10 spread out over the next few weeks/months.
There is this option for U to choose :- show the next 10 appointments OR the next 10 days including days without appointments.
.. and, as he clearly states, he is talking about doing it in only one homescreen. Not two, as you are talking about.
geekyhawkes: The author of the cab you are talking about, if I'm not mistaken, is working on showing more appointments on the homescreen.

[Q] Question to Manila 2D

Hi @ all
I have a Nike with WM6.5 installed and Manila 2.0.2016.3224.
Is it possible to change the today screnn, that it looks like at HD2 (sliding the clock up and seeing the programm shortcuts and additional to that feature animated weather, like in the weathertab)
No. You can eventually install m2d today setings and i-phone today and add them to potday tab as a widget. Than position them to fit the screen. After a bit of work you can have something like that:
