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 !!

hi there, so mnay threads now in this section...i' search but was wondering if it will be possible for some Masters like panosha to make a black and white HD calendar skin ..if i remember well, i saw somme screenshots somewhere here and may be it exists already..... thanks....
please call me stupid .... i haven't seen that the calendar tab from Singh in the 15 tabs TF3D cab is exactly what i wanted ^_^
so now next request.... how to link the Calendar on home screen to the skin like in the Calendar Tab ??? when i tapped the calendar home link , i have the
horrible WM green and white and electric blue calendar .... thanks in advance ......
I'm interested too but I don't see the example that you say in 15 tabs thread?
Bye
Thumbcal
Do a search for Thumbcal. Although it is commercial software, you can try it for 14 days and I think you will love it - I do!
It goes very well with the Touch Flo interface and replaces the default calendar. It also deals with tasks within the calendar app.
Let me know what you think... I haven't bought it yet but am very tempted... i can finally use my calendar without the stylus!
There is also a new calendar comming from SBSH that I saw "leaked" today
http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/414/new-calendar-touch-coming-sbsh
Though I am not running any of their software yet on my HD, I have found their software excellent - I will give this a try when its out to see what it's all about.
hum...thanks but you don't understand, ..i just want a skin like the black calendar of the SINGH tab ......not an App
I'm also interested for just a skin for the official agenda of windows mobile 6.1.
Thanks
SINGH ....where a re you ????
I'm here.
..... ?

I agree! Thumbcal is fantastic. I came across this thread while searching for a calendar tab for TF3D. I found one but it does absolutely nothing. Also, the Calendar 'link' underneath the clock always brought up that awful Windows calendar, which I hate. I gave Thumbcal a try and now when I tap on the Calendar link underneath the clock, Thumbcal comes up. YES!
I will definitely buy this one. I had previously been using AgendaOne but I likeThumbcal much better. It's more user friendly and definitely worth the money.
Oh, and I should mention that I'm not bothered about a Calendar tab now. It's nice to have quick access to the calendar from TF3D so an actual tab for it doesn't really matter to me anymore.
Even I Require a Skin...
Even I Require a Skin for the ugly looking default calendar in Touch HD...pls pls pls....TIA

Can you get it to open anything except the day view? I'd really like a week view, but yes 100% better than the default one.
I try Thumbcal : what a shame : It take an hour to be launch on my HD (but interface is very nice and it's a pleasure to use it), when SBSH take a second...
Hi Guys,
Thought I would start a dedicated thread for sharing widgets we may develop for use with SPB MS 3.0 (now that its officially out!!!).
Here are some ideas for widgets that can be developed imo -
1. Flip Clock (like TF3D)
2. Slideshow widget
3. Media player widget (linking to other music apps such as Coreplayer)
4. Stocks widget
5. Calendar widget (linking to third party PIMs)
Please help!!!
spb ms3 widgets
Very good idea !
Hope that skinners will be at this "rendez-vous".
would be useful a widget for change activesync, mystorage, storage card connection (like wireless widget)
Can these kind of widgets actually be made? I looked at the XML and supplied widgets of SPB, and they all seem to direct to classes in the compiled program.
Perhaps i'm missing something. What I really miss is tasks on your 'lifestyle' screen. I hope it can somehow be made, but atm I don't see how.
What I like to see is an SMS viewer like in TF3D. I don't like to open the MS Inbox every time, when I have a new message.
I'd prefer a RSS widget. I don't get, why they haven't at least integrated SPB Insight...
I'd like to see a Post-it Notes type of widget. Also, it would be cool if you can change the swipe up/down function to open the launcher or contacts screen (or anything else). I have no use for the professional layout because I can basically re-create it in the lifestyle screen.
A Flexmail widget is what i would like to see
They dont have an intgration with SPD time - stop watch ??? Why not?
You can only get one day on the weather, even if you have SPD weather ?
I hate the bottom screen contacts and launcher stuff - total waste of screen space.
And why would you want to see all the available screens (bottom left buttom) ?
It looks nice, but I prefer their standalone softwear. Much more control and functionality.
I would like to have a memory indicator
anyone knows how t do it?

Well, maybe if you tried integrating with their own suite of SPB applications, instead of whatever this SPD stuff is, it might work better?
I seem to have 4 days worth of weather forecasts perfectly fine, here...
i really would like to have a TF3D flip clock that acutally flips.
has any one found that yet??
please i've looking for a while.
Why homescreen shortcuts aren't seen is beyond me, however I have noticed that there are two shortcuts found on the homescreen already. Call History and Calender, pressumebly all these do is reference a location on the device.
So my question is, can we make it so we can add our own shortcuts, to link to another location or possibly an application?
Adam
I would donate 25 dollars or euros for anyone who can pull this off, I almost can't live without my tasks there
If you both are talking about ammending the 2 right and left shortcuts on TF3D Home tab then you should go search around.. Its possibel to change with many apps or via registry..

I've already managed to do this with an application called TouchFlo Detacher.
I'm referring to the two shortcut links placed underneath the clock or to the right of it when in landscape mode. You can't miss them.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to add or change them.
I found a way looking in many forums, they say you need to use a famous tool called ssmaho... try to look here on xda, where it's hosted. I downloaded it but I don't understand how to use it... so far no luck in linking pocket informant to calendar and home tabs. any help would be very appreciated!
Change yes, add too, probably not
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497197 for various changes
But I can't get the plugings working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508102 to add Tasks
This thread is very old however I don't like to create threads for questions which have been already asked:
I use a Jackos Hybrid ROM with WM6.1 + Sense 2.1 (fastest I've ever seen), but I miss at least 2-3 shortcuts to most popular programs on my homescreen. Is there a theme or a patch which couls allow me to put non-standard shortcuts directly on my HS? Independently on the history and calendar fields.
I've tried google, but there are tons of unnecessary information but I couldn't find anything helpful. Here, on xda, I've found information about some mods (like MaxManila) but none is reported to work with WM6.1. Besides these mods are heavy, and I don't need a comprehensive application but a small patch to have 3 icons on HS.
Thanks in advance guys (and girls of course)!
I just wondered what people thought of the Manila 2.5?
I've tried several ROM's and bugs aside, there are some things I like and some things I hate!
I like the weather on the clock on homepage, but I don't like the shortcuts as i think they are ugly and make the screen look cluttered. I much preferred the old programs tab. I also really need to see more calender data!
I like the new music player look, but dislike the new contacts look.
I really like the deeper intergration of WM into manila UI
I like the coloured icons and general look of manila, and i really love the new messaging system (when the bugs are fixed ).
What do other people think?
I don't like the look of the homescreen, I prefer Manila 2.0/2.1's look.
well.. the same food gives different tastes for everyone .
I like the new homescreen, its more usable, although I think the 3 buttons are too big... sliding down gives more shortcuts, which is more convenient...
I also really like the new people tab shortcut style... the old one is making me crazy when sliding those small thumbnails on the rite...
other than that, I dont know.. never used one before... for me, its all about convenience and usability... there is no point of having nice GUI, but hard to use. And to me, HTC is going on the right track
