I'm looking for the 'best' version of the HTC Touch / TouchFlo Today screen app - not the one line thing, but the nice 1/2 screen black interface with the clock.
Before I get flames - I did search both of the Titan threads here; however, a lot of the links provided pointed to nothing or to sites that are no longer available. The one that I did find seemed to hose up my XV6800 (luckily I was able to boot into safe mode on it - I use iLauncher - and then remove the app which fixed the hang). So I want to see what everyone else is using for this application, and which version is the 'best' - by that I mean that uses the least memory, has the most features (5 tabs would be my minimum), etc.
Thanks everyone for any advice, links, etc.

Is this what you are looking for:

If so you can just install the HHC app and it will install the HTC home plugin. Configure it to not use the weather as that is the memory leak.
HHC is the best one that i have found and works really well

What's a good alternative weather app?
I was using the SPB Mobile suite with the Diamond skin prior to flashing with the just released Verizon WM6.1 update.

There are a couple that I have seen:
SPB Weather:

GPSToday:

I have only used GPSToday and uninstalled as it didn't seem to work consistently with the Titan GPS, but still nice Today plugin.

Oh ok. So the SPB one is safe to use then. Great...I had SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 so i've just reinstalled it along with the greatball Diamond theme. Looks like i'm all set again.
I've got this running now on WM6.1

Weather Watcher from Singers Creations, it's completely free, and has very detailed weather info. Hourly/Daily/maps/alerts, etc.
Unfortunately it's not a today plugin program, it has to be launched by hand. It also keeps track of how much data it's transferred so you can get an idea if it will exceed your quota from your provider. Tho I think most of us have unlimited plans.

Sorry, Jambrose, but the latest one you specified at http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?t=235876 is the one I tried before. Once I install it, and try to go to the Today control panel applet, the Titan hangs. When I soft-reset it, it boots up, but as soon as it gets to the Today screen, ActiveSync (window) pops up on it, I get an error message from Voice Command, and then it hangs. Over and over.... Luckily I use iLauncher and used the safe restart mode and removed it. Once I did that everything went back to normal.
There is something about this version of the app that doesn't like the Titan or dcd's particular ROM.
Any ideas anyone? And dcd, if you read this, any chance of you adding the HTC app to your ROM kitchen as an optional install? (maybe then it would work right)

I like SBSH PocketWeather - has the most information, gives you the current temp and statistics, and if you have an unlimited data plan can download at regular intervals.

hi,
can i upgrade diamond rom in to htc touch p3452?
Phone lock up
Well, I've got the xv6800. Istalled the program and now the phone locks up everytime at the today screen. Sometimes not even getting it loaded all the way. How do i either fix this for get this off my phone so I can use the phone?
Thanks
EDIT: NVM...I ended up doing a hard restart. Unless I did something wrong, people with the 6800 beware. Phone my lock up on you.
anyone know how to get it to work on wm6.1?
it worked fine on my htc touch when i was at wm6, but after i upgraded the rom to wm6.1, i get a homexec error, or something like that. then on reset, it hangs like other people said.
does anyone know if this works on wm6.1?
Hi there,
One of the things I really miss from my Kaiser is the ability to have today plugins. I use MSN a lot with my mobile, and having the MSN plugin right on today was nice. I used other plugins as well, but with TF3D it´s simply not possible.
What I really miss is a TF3D tab where you would put today plugins, like with SPB Pocket Plus...
Any way of doing this ?

Laters,
Awesome!! Guess you´re a Battlestar Galactica fan!!!! yay!!!!
But in fact, I was looking for something stable... I´ve found so many posts saying it wasn´t possible to have a new tab in TF3D that I kept from searching directly.
Anyway, a work to keep an eye on: will also keep looking for other options.

what use is google when there is nothing there to be found:
Options so forth:
-Manila Today Page: Unfinished, buggy (try to hit start from there...). Does not work under wm 6.5
-Second Today: does not cooperate with pocket breeze well, does not seem stable with most ROMs
-TF Detacher: to me useless, does not enable to use manila functions+today, works as if you turned tf3D off...
...difficult choice. I would have loved second today if it worked. But it does not, so I am on MTP hoping things will get better: FYI: none of these programs is developed.

I'm using secondtoday with pocketbreeze wtihout any problems at all. HOWEVER, what you have to make sure to do is uncheck the option to auto-resize the height of pocketbreeze. Once I did this, secondToday has been ROCK SOLID. Absolute must have app IMO.

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).
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.
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...
