I'm not thinking something like my snapshots I photoshopped up would be possible, but it would be nice to have an easy-hide button for Titanium rather than going into the Today screen settings.
I guess the mockups are something I might have if I was a Microsoft 6.5 Engineer. Basically I just copied the Hide/Show Desktop Button from Windows 7, added some Arrows from the Lock Screen, and added the Lock Screen clock at the bottom.

The idea is really cool
I'd like that!!
If this were the default lockscreen it would be much more original that than the iPhone S2U that Microsoft is trying to copy.
Think, if your alerts could shoot out of the arrow part and you could slide them up or down to retrieve them. To unlock the phone, just drag the arrows to the right. All with smooth animations of course. The arrow part could simply change color to let you know you have new alerts. When you tap it, the number of alerts slides out along with the individual alert slider.

I never thought of making it a lock screen. I guess if someone were to create a whole new lock screen app like that, it would be possible to make one that was like my designs... But I am still interested in the idea of easily hiding Titanium.
Good idea.
It looks like S2U2.
i would love to get this on my phone if any one can develop it haha...great idea....... love it.... lets hope some one can make it...
support this great idea
Looks like something that might be available on "7". But would be awesome if we could get it here and now. +1 for notifications linked to the appropriate panel, ie. you get an email: the email hidden tab would blink/change color/show email icon and you could slide that tab out to check it.. brilliant concept.

I'll attempt to work on the notification concept a bit in some more photoshop mockups. But thank you everyone for your good feedback.
such a simple idea....absolutely brilliant. I would love to have this
the closest thing to this now would be s2u2 actually. just a matter of skinning it to look like titanium. and you can slide and titanium would show!!! i know not what you had in mind but hey it's the closest you can get =D
i like it...but maybe make it a lock buten?? sory for my englisch
cool idea!!
it would be much nicer with this in touch in my phone
Nice idea!
very nice!
GR8 IDEA
but... mayde, why not it 3D?
Cool idea
Yeah that is a very good idea !!!
great Idea if someone could find a way to add page to Clock PANEL then You could just creat an exe to lock phone right?

I tried to modify HTC Home, because it is IMHO to big. I only need the Home Tab so i wondered if it might be possible that the tab selection is not being displayed to save some Space (in the pic is shown what i want to be displayed).
The greatest thing at all would be if only the Files needed for the Home Tab would be installed. But that is not necessary at all, because i would be able to figure that out by myselfe and create that cab file.

Greets so far.
rltoday has a skin that will do what you want. Free program that works very well.
rltoday still have bugs, It can not work properly in my hima I have given feedback to the creator
It would be much nicer if the area you want to disappear could appear and disappear by selecting the tabs. That means when you click onces on the Home tab the clock display appears when you click it again it will disappear. And that way for all Tabs of HTC Home, that would be a great development for the HTC HOME.

Why? Cause what he wants to do is not possible with Home Customizer.
AFAIK it is not possible at all yet.
I would really like it if it was possible. Ideally with the custom if there's only 1 tab used the tab bar should disappear... It would be perfect
If rlToday doesn't bug for you, you really should give it a try.
I've been using it in place of HTC Home for weeks now, and never looked back.
It looks better, smaller, more customizable... simply awesome
Should check out the skins made by a person known as FOXCAT:

Thnx for your help so far.
RLtody seems to be a nice tool with great capabilities. Unfortunatly the HTC Theme doesnt work for me. It gives me odd graphics, but i havnt had the time yet to change the skin.xml for my needs.
But I'm shure i'll get what i want from this app. Indeed i'll get more i've ever hoped when starting the thread (A today plugin, exacly like i want it and fully customizable).
@PAPPL
It isn't possible to do what i want with any customize tool for HTC Home, because all that they are capable of is changing the reg keys in HKLM\Software\HTC\HTC Home and replace the Images. For both i dont need any tool at all. But there isnt any reg key (at least i found none) that is responsible for the task i want. Nor did i find the place of the prog, where the graphics are defined. I think the only way to find that out is to get a hand onto the sourcecode. But i dont know anything at all of reverse compilation.
Maybe someone knows an other application, that is able to display that i desire. Or a SMS, Email, and Call Notification as plugin for Pocket Plus as Icons that can be plased free into the Tabs.

help me dev it... i'll do all the graphics, if anyone wants it and knows how to implement it
Looks good, are trying to make this for rlToday?
i have no idea. i literally opened up photoshop and did my thing. i need all your know-how from here on out, if you guys would use it.
Not bad IMO - original concept/layout.
I'll tell you the easiest, and best way to customize this, would be the new WAD2. It's $10, you won't regret it, trust me.
Great design. I would use it, but the only issue I would have is the weather. I am in love with Rumball's weather icons so I like to use that in weatherpanel as my weather program.
Well, we could use whatever weather icons we want, I'd assume, right?
Let me know who can help.

Try to use WAD2 it is quite easy to use..just load all your images and done
i can add functionality to all the buttons and make the clock function as well?
not for nothing thats pretty sick! awesome job!
i personally dont use wad2 nor rltoday, due to personal prefrence..but if ur gonna do it, im pretty sure users will be all over it!
what's wad2 anyways, i see wisbar advanced desktop on their site but it is not 2.0... is there another program?

What are the cresents on either side of the clock?
I can do the majority of this using rltoday. Only things I wouldn't be able to do are:
-alarm notification. I know there's a way to do it using mortscript but I don't know the code.
-the battery indicator can be done using sys-2-reg. not hard but another program to install.
-the volume button would just link you to the volume control or maybe toggle between mute/loud?
-the signal and connection indicators I couldn't do.
-there's a weather mort script on the rltoday site that I could use.
-the hour and minute hands on the clock would just be straight lines. I could use PNG files but for some reason doing that sucks up a lot of memory.
What else? Just need graphics.
EDIT: I think I just figured out what the cresents are!!! If they're indicators for the battery, volume, etc. then this is way out of my league.
yes they are meters... it's sort of like a hud. well... is there any way around using wad or rl to program this... are there any crazy programmers on this board even capable of something, or this just too extreme. i can give you the graphics, just tell me the formats you need everything in.
Looks promising.
I like today screen with many information displayed.
It would be fine if that could be used with SPB shell.
Really nice design skanndelus.
Cheers

If that's for me then the files would need to be in PNG format.
The "HUD" is a great idea but no way would I be able to do that. I'm sure someone else can....
Actaully, if you can find, or make a font file that has those shapes I think it can be done in rltoday. Would need sys-e-reg though.
Now you have me thinking. Great!!!! I'm going to be up all night!!!!
Yes WAD 2 can do anything..you can set the path to the app and clock, weather, everything gestures also..WAD 2 is still in beta..so try it
ooo where do i DL
WAD 2 download on their site... or do i need to sign up, or pay?

It is on RC13...so free for now, with an expiration date. It will likely be 9.99 US when released, but not sure. It is one of the best, easiest shell replacements. Simple click>hold>select item to add. Click and drag items around the screen. Here is what mine looks like right now.
I'm running 6.5 on my HD, and its very nice and quick, but what i really miss is quick acces to my favourite contacts. Manila is now too bloated and I dont like it at all, esp with all that green stuff going on
I've tried Appstar's favourite people plugin, but having to swipe my finger across the screen to search thru my favourites is a bit of a pain, what would be nice if there was a function to tap a favourites button and a screen would pop-up tiled with favourite people just to press one and open up their contact info/dial/sms/etc..
Anyone know of something to do that, or talented enough to make something.
Many thanks

So you linked him the app he said he already tried but doesn't like?
Anyway,
Gasman I know of no contact app like that for the wm6.5 titanium plugin cause I would like something like that myself
how about phonex by iconsoft.. then u link the talk button to bring up your favorite contacts via the app itself:

i just use the smart dialing on the tachi dialer. Its quick and simple. Its not on the today screen but i can't think of anything else other than favourite people and as you say you dont like that.
At the moment I use the speed dial on the phone keypad, but thats just for calling. Just hoped there would be a something integrated into titanium, that brought up a page of tile pictures for your favourite contacts. click one then have the option of calling or texting them..
Any smart folks want to make such an addon?
Other than that, very happy with how titanium runs as standard
You could make one of your softkeys or CLauncher slots be iContact...
An idea would be to make a contact page like the beehive start menu that is in Titanium.
Maybe a shortcut from the Today screen will open the same hive layout with contact photos and name....?
Yeah I like the idea of having contacts/faves on a honeycomb page.
if you have a third party contacts program installed you can probably just make the soft key link directly to that by editing the registry. If you'd rather interact with the panels, you can edit the registry and change the program that launches when you click say the fave contacts panel.. I imagine the soft key way would be best.. that is one of the main reasons i dislike titanium, lots of eye candy but limited functionality.. if you could stick a grid in a panel to recognize multiple items, each launching their own link/contact it would be a great step forward.. perhaps that is not far off.
Just thought I'd update with a soulution I'm very happy with.
I installed 'icontacts' which is superb contacts program that does what I need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395829
And use AEB Plus, to easily remap the left softkey to open icontacts.

This seems to work very well with wm6.5

Hi all, I would like to ask if anyone know how to disable the htc notifications screen, ie the full screen that pop up when you press the 3G/Battery icon. I would like to have the default windows menu back..
By the way, any know what the BsBtweak - Enable default windows notifactions to allow dismiss X time does?
Thanks a lot!

Not sure what you mean about "the default windows menu" in the first question, so I can't help with that, but I do know what the BsB option you mentioned does.
It adds a menu where you can select to snooze the alarm for various time periods. I use this as I simply won't get up with just 1 alarm. I'm very glad that option was discovered
Thx! I mean the old style windows bubble menu.. not the HTC full screen notifications menu

He means he wants the windows 'speech bubble' style notification popup that WM provides instead of the htc notification screen.

I take it it worked then? I've not tried it myself as I like the notification screen as it is.
I have the opposite problem, I seem to have lost my HTC Notifiactions screen, and I really don't like the default windows bubble one. Is there an easy way to get it back? I don't really want to install a cab or hard reset. I will if I have to but just looking for alternatives first.

Hello all
Just wanted to thank this community as a whole for all the great work they've done. I'm in love with my N1, rooted with CM and all the good stuff I found on this forum.
After tinkering around with my N1 for quite some time a potentially neat idea occurred to me (hope this is the right spot for it). I use my phone primarily for business use and general functionality. At the same time I tend to nitpick about ease-of-use, convenience and simplicity. My idea (alleging it doesn't already exist) is basically an advanced google calendar widget embedded into the notifications drop down. Obviously, this would turn primary use of the drop down into the said calender, but with the convenience to be able to pull it up in a second while allowing for more effective multi tasking.
I'm not a new to the developers world, but am as far as the Android OS goes. I was hoping a few experienced hands might see this as a nice little challenge. At the same time, for the willing, I would not mind at all attempting this challenge on my own (obviously with some much needed assistance ).
Sorry for the long post, and I look forward to hearing constructive feedback.
Thanks in advance!
Are you thinking more along the lines of something that lists upcoming events, or rather an actual calendar image? I'm not if the latter can be accomplished, but would definitely be willing to start working on something.
Hi!

That´s nice, thanx!
Thanks guy, I certainly appreciate all the responses and the warm welcome. Initially I wanted calender functionality inside the notifications drop down because it can be pulled up at anytime without having to switch to any other programs. Often times while writing emails I like to cross check my schedule mid proposal. Two applications/widgets I switch between are the "Pure Grid Calender" and the "Android Agenda Widget". I'm probably going too far here but this would be amazing: Upon touching the top bar initially, it switched to the notifications and the bar lowers a bit (all before actually sliding the menu down). If upon touching the bar, it slid down (that same amount) but with two options, one for notifications and one for calender. you could then slide your finger to the left or right to choose which drop down you want, and proceeded to slide it down and the chosen menu would then appear full screen.
This is probably impossible lol, i have a wild imagination. I can do a better mock-up after work with illustrations if indeed that was too wordy.

Ah I see. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible to override/replace touching the status bar. You can put things in it, but having 'two' of them with left/right swipe I don't think is user-replaceable.
However, there ARE apps that let you put any shortcut you want in the Notifications Tray:

I think your thinking of something along the lines of SBSettings for the iphone os?
@ paul Thank you for that information, if nothing else thats very useful.
@ zKilla: i am not familiar with iphone at all, i made the bold move to go straight into the world of android . But after doing some research that seems like it would be a great compromise.. only problem is if its even feasible to build into the N1
Also if any devs know where i could start poking my nose around, perhaps i figure this out on my own, lord knows itll take a few years tho ha
