best multipage/multitab today plugin?

Hi guys,
What's the best multi page today plugin with the ability to insert today plugins inside pages?
I'd like if i could have first top half of the screen with htc home plugin and second bottom half with more than one tab with inside different today plugins.
Sorry for my english, hope clear enough...
TY
Bye

there is wisbar advance desktop (WAD for short) which can do some wondrous things and it is completely customizable and skinable:
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance+Desktop
takes a bit to get used to, but you basically lets you create today screens and add what you want to them, including other today plugins and counters, text , images etc...sorry, not the best description. Have a look at the forum on the site to see what people are using it for.
Hope it helps

I like the good ol' HTC Home. Nice and simple.

I'm really digging on the the tried and true cLaunch lately. As I'm limited to a 240x240 screen, there are only a few viable options for the limited real estate and cLaunch is working nicely as an app launcher. In conjunction with Quickmenu, I manage my device and access my apps with minimal keying.

X2 for cLaunch. Simple, clean, multiple pages, custom icons (.bmp, exe, or dll) you can even change the size of the icons you want to make it more finger friendly. I set mine to 32 pixels, and took off all the borders and tabs. You can use lnk shortcuts.

I think OP 's original request was for something that is tabbed AS WELL as be able to include other today plugins as tab.
can cLaunch or ultimate do that?
I know SPB Pocket Plus can but there are some plugins it can't incorporate which I wish it could like the WM6 calendar and task plugins.

is there an english version of ultimatelaunch

This is a best plugin so far and uses a minimal amonut of ram considering how much works it does.
Anybody know how to put meter in this plugin like battery, signal, memory etc. And show running programs in a tab.

You can create your own tabbed today plugin (for FREE) by using:
1. rlToday
2. MortScripts

thanks its nice but is threre a plugin for unread msg and phone calls

That ULTIMATELAUNCHER thing seems quite nice - but I havent figured if it is possible to point it to a folder. It has super interface, but I find it a bit to difficult to configure...

Is that an exe for pc installation? If so, can you make a cab for ppc installation?
or is that suppose to replace an exe file somewhere? If so where?

HTC Home plugin on HD

I really miss today plugins and having second today is inconvenient. so would be possible to install old htc home plugin? I read that it completely freezes phone, any solutions?

Have you had a look at Manilla Control? I'm not sure if it's running on the HD (but it runs on the Diamond, so it should be fine) but it lets you have a standard Today screen and Manilla and swap between them with a simple sweep gesture.

Maybe this should help:

Does not work. DO NOT INSTALL it on HD unless you want to hard reset.

Absolutely work PERFECTLY on TIM ITA branded models, maybe you've installed something else wrong

I'm proud to prove what I've posted:

Hello!
I'm using a french version of HTC HD and also looking for HTC Home plugin.
The only one I've got to work have a really to small display.
If I had to hard reset like mcano annouces it I prefer not to try this version!!!!
Is there another solution?

Thanks Vysus , I tried it ...but didn't work on the french HTC HD

Sorry for you, my friend
Maybe you've pre-installed something else that causes a conflict with the plugin. I repeat: it works perfectly, as you can see...

HTC Blackstone TIM ITA: work

Thnx my friend, I thought I was the only one to have it working

Instead you could disable HTC TF3D and use MobileShell 2
It combines both. Features from TF3D and todayscreen plugin with programs/weather/contacts aso. Also it´s skinable. There are skins that are looking quite as tf3d - but much better favorite contacts.
It´s worth a look

using tf3d and mobile shell

this method does not seem to work on my Imagio, if anyone else has another way to run both tf3d and ms3.5 at the same time, please post your method and in the mean time i am trying figure out a good way myself.
*dont know why the link isnt working but its in the development and hacking area of the forums

Why would you wanna run both at the same time anyway? They serve same purpose but has only different useability and UI. And running both of them would probably eat alot of RAM too..

tf3d has gps based weather and spb has customizable widgets, i dont need to run both at the same time but i would like the main today screen to be tf3 and be able to switch to mobile shell at the touch of a button.

I couldn't add MS 3.5. The information on TF3D Detacher and the X1 panels are all over this forum, a quick search should pull up everything you need. I don't have any screen shots at the moment, mainly because I just did a hard reset and am running straight MS 3.5 (I'm OCD and will keep hard resetting until I get exactly what I want).

Looking for a few more things...

I just got the TP2 for USCC last week. (WM6.5) I haven't used WM in about 2 years and am pretty dissapointed to find a lot of the same issues that were present then. I used to be a fairly competent WM user with above average knowledge in registry editing, ROM flashing, etc but most of what I used to use seems to have changed. So far I have found the fixes for the sms sent notification and the organization of the contact list by last name, first to first, last.
I've been all over these forums and cannot find a fix to disable the onscreen keyboard from auto-popping...ever. Also, in the sound settings menu, there is a slider to adjust ringer volume and another to adjust system volume yet these two don't work independently. I want system volume loud for hearing things like my IM app that runs in the background yet have the ringer volume lower as it's over bearing on full.
Something else I have noticed is that some settings menus appear to be there but not functioning. For instance, under settings>all settings>today there is a 2nd tab for items that does not change from the appearance tab. I've notice several menu's like this throughout the phone. It seems like there are things that other versions of WM may have had that this doesn't or simply that Microsoft/HTC got lazy in the initial release and either did not remove tabs that were not intended to be there or forgot to finish some that should. Just wondering if anyone has some insight into this.
I'm also looking for a good free IM client. I've seen many apps across these forums but with so many out there, it's hard to find the right one for me. I refuse to pay $45 for Agile messenger (although I've seen hacked versions but I would prefer not to deal with that). It's a decent app, not great but decent but $45 for a very simple app is outrageous. So, I found Slick ( http://slick.en.softonic.com/windowsmobile ) which is a free app and works great! The only feature it is missing that I liked about Agile is a notification (similar to the annoying sms message sent notification that I removed) while the app is in standby. Does anyone know of another free IM app that is simple and has that feature? I only use Google Talk and have noticed some apps specifically for that but there are so many to try, I'm hoping someone has a good recommendation to save me some time.
The last thing I'm curious about pertains to Manila. I see Manila all over these forums. I've done some reading on it and have a good understanding of what manila is. But, it's very confusing as some thread talk about reflashing ROMS for it and others talk about installing cabs over your current rom for it. Does anyone have a link to a good thread(s) that will explain things more clearly so I can make an educated decision on the best way to try this out? A, Manila for Dummies, if you will.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Edit: It looks like the "Manila" Touch Flo design is incorporated in WM 6.5 on my device already? Is this mainly the custom tabs located at the bottom of the today screen?

First of all, TF3D/TouchFlo3d, Manila, or Sense are essentially the same thing. It's a skin designed by HTC to cover up WinMo. You may say it's actualy just a very elaborate Today screen plugin. Since it takes up the whole screen, you would not be able to add other items.

See above for a crude definition. There are many versions, so that's why there's so much discussion in these forums about them. People are trying to use versions that didn't come stock with their devices.
TF2D or Manila 2D - for budget devices like the Touch Vivo, Touch Cruise, etc
TF3D v1 - originally came on the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro
TF3D v2- came with the Touch Diamond 2 and our Touch Pro2.
TF3D v2.1 - came with the release of the official WinMo 6.5 ROM for the Touch Diamond2 and our Touch Pro2. Identifiable with the weather under the clock in the Home tab.
TF3D v2.5 - came with the release of the Touch HD2. Has customizable shortcuts on the Home tab, revamped People tab, coverflow-like Pictures tab and Music tab when in landscape, and other goodies.
Btw, going forward, you may want to list out what you're asking in bullet point form. Most people are put off by long essay-like posts. You'll get more responses if your post is clear and short.

That actually clears it up quite a bit. So it appears that my CDMA TP2 with USCC is actually 2.1 or 2.5? I see you stated our TP2 is is 2.1 but your description of 2.5 seems to fit my phone. Either way, it looks like I can just addon on any Manila Cabs that customize the home screen more as Manila is already installed?

Where else are there menu options that doesn't look like they belong? Anyway, if there are, then it's because of Microsoft and not HTC. We're on WinMo is on version 6.5 now, but it really hasn't changed much since I first used a pocket PC back in 2000.

Certainly, there are components that are possible to install via cabs. But often, you'll need to flash a ROM with the particular build of Manila that you want to get those features.

So just to clear this up, if something is made for TF3D v2, it should (or might) work with our CDMA TP2 running the stock @M6.5 rom?

Also, anyone have a fix for the keyboard thing? I remembered the name of the cab i used to use, null keyboard but can't find anything that works with this rom. I've tried a few reg edits that have not worked.

It should, yes. However, if you have a TP2 with WM 6.5 you most likely have Manila 2.1 (in my case 2.1.191937). If you go to the Settings tab and scroll down, you should be able to see which version you have. That being said, many cabs work on all versions, a good few has to have a more specific version (like 2.0, 2.1 or 2.5) and a mere handful needs to be spot on (e.g. 2.1.1717).
After installing such a CAB you often need to restart your TF3D/Manila/Sense, and to do so you go to Start > Settings > Today and tick off HTC Sense. Tap OK and go back in to tick the HTC Sense box again. That restarts your TF3D.
Hope that made sense.

Thx for the clarification, I think I'm ready to start customizing this thing! I'm a bit hesitant as I really like alot of the features that come with the stock home screen. My last windows device was the 8125 and I modded the **** out of that home screen but this one I simply want to add a few highlights without loosing the over all look.
One thing I have been curious about is if there is a way to put a google search bar under the calendar. I know Google apps will put one up but then I have to go to my programs tab and open google apps so I might as well just eliminate a step and open opera.

I haven't checked to be honest with you, but I am satisfied with moving the internet tab a few notches closer to the home screen tab. I find that to be quick and easy enough! One tab on the tab and the google search is at the top of the screen.

Thanks for all the help! You gave me the tools I needed to dive back in. I understand the differences in Manila's now as I've flashed about 5 or 6 different roms. 2.5 is slick in theory, especially when Dusk Evolution v2.0 is theme is added but I had to return to 2.1. Thanks again for the help to get me started.

Im client look at PalRingo.. it's pretty awesome and covers most major networks (yahoo, MSN, gmail, facebook chat, icq others.

Yes, that's what I currently use. Kind of an old thread now too. I've come a long way since I started this thread.

HTC Sense and WM Today

Can both HTC Sense and WM Today pages coexist similar to the way SPB Shell works by have the Today page in the background?

There was a program called "TouchFlo Detacher" that I used on my Touch HD. Now I know this won't work with Sense, as it's designed to work with TouchFlo, but I'd imagine that it would be a simple change to put in the relevant class names for the Sense UI.
It replaced one of your softkeys with a toggle button so you could flip between TouchFlo and Today, and it was VERY fast! (It didn't close and later re-open TouchFlo - it simply hides it as Today is always in the background.)
Have a search for TouchFlo Detacher and ask the author if he'd be interested. He may ask you to beta test it for him

Here you go - I found it for you...

Looks good, but I personally don't like MortScript, so would rather a windows app, like the above-mentioned one.

I just recently installed M2D on my LG Incite and installed the communcations cab thing and got it to work but, after I had to hard reset and now I cannot figure out how to get the communcations tab to start working again.
