Anyway to add more programs... - HD2 General

add more programs to like the "BAR" where they have the weather, FB, twitter, settings, messages that area?
help out a brotha

Settings----> Personalize----> Home screen tabs

It's called the Sense Slider.
You can't really add any additional "Programs" to the slider other than the ones that are already present, except for maybe some additional tabs from T-Mobile and a few other like Call History and Network TV that were created by some members here.

Getting rid of 5 tab today screen?

Hi,
I added the stuff from the "all you need for your wing" thread to my wing. Most of it is awesome, but there are issues with missed calls not showing up from my faves people. How can I get rid of this and go back to the normal screen? I tried downloading and installing the 3 tab version to see if that worked right, but it still shows the 5 tab on my today screen.
As far as the missed calls, I have the same problem as this guy-

Hello,
After performing most of the mods located in this thread, the call history is not logging any calls to/from people that are in my fave 5. (it used to)
So I thought maybe the actual My Faves program is logging the calls now, but no it's not.
Anyone else experiencing this? The today screen plugin for missed calls does not increment by one when i have a missed call from someone in my fave 5, the call history does not log any my fave calls, and the My Faves program does not log them anymore either.

TIA!
not sure what rom you are using but most of the newer roms allow you to select and deselect which tabs appear on the home screen from Settings->Today menu. You can also achieve this by downloaing schaps config tool and using that to edit the home plug-in. I hope thats what you were looking for.
I'd love to remove the missed calls/msgs/voicemails part of the htc home plugin.
I use SPB phone suite, and I prefer it over the htc, and it annoys me to have 2 things on the today page showing me missed events.

Well I tried removing what appeared by doing the Settings>Today Menu, but it came up after resets. But you can actually get rid of it by goint to "remove programs", so that's good. I feel stupid for asking before checking that.
I don't know anything about that tool...I JUST got this phone, and before this had some old crappy nextel. I'm new to the modding thing. I'll see if I can figure out that tool though. Thanks.

Well I didn't mind that, but if someone in myfavs called and I didn't see it, it wouldn't show up in call history as a missed call, and it wouldn't give me any new notifications. I'd love that home screen if that worked, but for some reason it doesn't, at least with that. No idea why. I wonder if the 6 tab version works.
I tried the 3 tab version, but I think it's outdated. My city isn't in the weather thing for it, but it was on the 5 tab.

That is just MY skin. You can skin rlToday any way you like. One icon, with ot without calendards, etc. You really should have taken a moment to learn about rlToday.
I have all that on my screen because I setup rlToday to show all that. I don't think it's what you really want but you can even have a whole today screen with nothing but an icon for missed sms and an icon for missed calls.
How do you add a shortcut to "Shutdown" or "Stand-by" on Ultimate launcher? I know there's a series of parameters you need to put in order to achieve this. Any help will be appreciated!

I use vjDeviceLock. In UL you can have gestures (slide up or down) that launch programs. I use a down slide to launch vjDeviceLock. It locks my device and powers down the screen with one swipe of my finger.
In UL click change for one of the tabs. You should see 3 tabs across the top. Open the Gestures tab and set a program to run on a gesture.
Thanks for the info man, it is definetly an alternative to what I'm looking for. However, I was leaning more towards having a "Power Off" button and linking it to "stand-by" once you click on it.
If anyone knows the string needed to achieve this please let me know.
Thanks
kdash do you know where can I find those icons for 'Power on' and 'lock'?
thanks

Just checked SPB's forum and there is a pretty popular thread there asking for this exact functionality. Doesn't look like SPB is listening or at least responding. Hopefully somebody here can add one.

I got in the same position when using Homescreen++. I got things almost just the way I wanted them and still felt things lacking without this. I don't even need a fancy display for the notifications / reminders. Just an indicator that when tapped, shows the regular WM notification balloons. Heck, at this point I'd even take a setting that leave the balloons up until I dismiss them. Maybe a mortscript could do this? Anything to avoid fumbling with the little bell. It is really hard to hit with just my thumb.

An icon that would light up if there are system notifications. Press it, and in a good way show notifications/allow them to be dismissed.

anybody has an idea how to make a shortcup to launch the (too) litle reminder bell ?
Ditto. Not only reminders...but I get all kind of alerts during the day - text, email, calender reminders. It would be nice if I could assign a shortcut to open my pending reminders

Managing Tabs ?

After installing Cookies Home Screen, I believe I lost ability to manage what tabs (Footprints, Stocks, Weather, etc) are visible.
Is there any way to manage those tabs ?
On the same line ... does T-Mobile HD2 have eReader tab and if so, how to enable it ?

On the slider tab

Cookies Home Tab Editor
Edit Quick Links
Edit Home Layout

Way to have "People" tab open contacts directly?

When one selects the "people" tab at the bottom of the phone, it opens the HTC "People" app, where you can put photos of people to click on as "favorites".
If one then clicks on the phrase "all people" on the bottom left, one comes to Contacts.
Is there any way to set it, registry tweak, etc., so that clicking on that people tab will bring you directly to Contacts, without having to go to their "People" app first?
Thanks for your input.
i just put the htc contacts tabe on my homescreen. but id also like to see if there is a fix or not for this...
74. Add All Contacts to Home Screen Left Softkey
By default the left softkey on the the Sense home tab is coded to Phone which is pointless and a waste because you can get to the same Phone page by pressing the Send hardware key. Change it to the All People page (eliminating 2 taps) by using the following reg entry:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
HomeLSKText = Contacts
Search [REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks* in the forum.
Thanks for the reply, Bazingo. I'll try that.
I'm still very much a newbie at Sense, just having got the HD2 a couple days ago, and never having used a device with that interface before.
One unfortunate thing I find about it though (again, I could be wrong, being so new at it), is that (out of the box) it seems so unconfigurable.
For instance, the main feature seems to be that ribbon of tabs at the bottom. That is a good idea. However, from what I can see, the only configuration one can do of them, is to remove them (other than Settings or Home)! One should be able to set any of the tabs to do what you want it to do, to include whatever app launchers you want from it, etc. One certainly SHOULD be able to set that people tab to go directly to contacts, if one prefers that, over that HTC "People" app.
I'm sure I'll learn more ways to hack the configuration here on XDA, and I am really grateful for this site. Most users won't know, of course, about XDA, might not feel comfortable with hacking the registry, or installing cabs from folks they don't know. This UI should really be much more configurable "out-of-the-box". (I wonder if HTC is listening?)
Configurable?
I really don't know what to say except wow. People should know what there buying before they purchase it. Do a little research. There's a reason they made it that way, last I checked Manilla wasn't open source. Nevertheless you are in the right place when it comes to customizing.

My response to a comment like that-- arrogant BS sarcasm.
Well, if having such an attitude makes you feel good, to each his own!
