any horizontal scrolling launcher?

ive spent about all my free time at work today searching around for an app that is basically just a today plugin app launcher with horizontal scrolling as is seen in the diamonds today screen interface at the bottom. basically the best way i could describe it would be a plugin exactly like cLaunch but with horizontal scrolling between the icons.
i would be willing to help out if anyone knows how to take cLaunch or its predecessor (cant remember its name right now, something like todaylaunch or something?) and add in the horizontal scrolling feature. if there are people out there that might be able to help out, maybe we could also take claunch and add in a feature to add multiple rows of icons, maybe each with individual lines of scrolling???
any help on this is appreciated
thanks.

Did You tried Throttlelauncher here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390553

yeah sorry i meant to include this:
ive tried throttle launcher, ultimate launch, point ui, ifonz..... ive tried a lot. im willing to throw about any good looking app that at least some ppl like and test it out.
but all of those mentioned before try to just take over your today screen. thats too much, i am just hoping to either find or help make a today plugin, with customizable height as well.
>>>basically cLaunch with a scrolling feature is what this app would come out to be.

look again at ultimate launch... You can make a simple icon row (say 4 scross), and with a flick, it goes to another page of 4 icons, leaving the rest of the today screen intact. You can set height in it. Its GREAT!

Maybe BatteryStatus...take a look at their theme thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510

Ultimate Launch will do exactly what you're asking.
Just like cLaunch (single row if that's all you want) and you can slide / rotate through as many such rows as you choose.
You'll need to configure it appropriately.
You'll put it in the Today Items with Ultimate Launch in the appropriate order as you want (like cLaunch).
Then in UL config on "headers" set the Height to "0" (zero).
You're done. Add as many tabs as you want but keep the link count to a small enough number that they don't "wrap" to a second line and you've got cLaunch with scrolling.

with ultimate launcher if i did that wouldnt it basically do the same thing as claunch, just with customizable transitions. the scrolling im looking for wouldnt have pages like ultimate launch would with its icons.... itd be like how the diamonds bottom bar transitions.
pretty damn picky huh?? haha

UL is the answer.

Ultimate Launch is the app you are looking for, but you need to learn how it works.

thanks again.

Looking for : Finger Sliding Today screen single line program launcher

There are many All encompassing apps that totally take over your today screen. I like to pick and choose little apps.
One I'm missing is a sliding program launcher. One that allows me to pick the programs that are on it.
I've seen Launcher
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/Launcher-35563.shtml
This is close....but I'd like to have touchFlo "grab and toss" functionality.
OH....I should mention I'm running Touch Pro....so VGA is required....(cLaunch didn't work)
Thanks in advance

dont kno if this will work with touchflow but sounds like what you want... its a grate today plugin, you can add any file on your device and Every file on your device if you choose, its called elecont launcher.. you can pick one line or many:
http://software.pocketnow.com/productMobile.asp?id=20029
its Not freeware but you can try it for free, and after your trial is up you can continue to use it free, edit it etc all free.. you just get a promt to buy everytime you click an app, jus click ( no ) lol its my main
plugin, and tha first app to reinstall after hardsets lol tha dailer is just as good if not better...
*same concept*

Yeah....that's basically what I wanted....was hoping for free....but I like the app...thanks

Why don't you use ThrottleLauncher? . It can take as much today screen as you want . If you wanna give it a try I can make a theme that just contain a single row of program icons... (It can even scroll horizontally).
Edit: done . To install just install ThrottleLaucher (see my signature). No need to install any theme, just the ThrottleLauncher cab. Then create a setups file inside the ThrottleLauncher folder and unzip the file inside that folder.
The structure will be:
ProgramFiles\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\LauncherRow
Select that theme in ThrottleConfig and you should be ready to go .
Here you have a video of how it's working and a screencapture also...

How about vga?
icons are very tiny. Is there a way to increase their size?

It's using the standar icons from the system, so their size is 32x32 (or 64x64 in VGA)... You can though change the icons asociated to the applications by using the ThrottleConfig 3rd tab and then the icons will "grow" .

but in config, "today" only 2 tabs appear: "info" and General
General only asks how many rows I want

This belongs in Questions and Answers again.. but anyways you should try using SPB Pocket Plus or Ultimate Launch.

Looks Promising...
Just a suggest:
* possible to make it "Scrolling"? Like those TouchFLO Tabs, but... of course, they are program icons...
edit: The concept like the TouchFLO tabs... those icons only take 1 row to display, so when they have more (>6 icons in my case) those icons will drawn off-screen, then a swipe (or drag) a icon horizontally scroll the row of icons to reveal those off-screen ones
This will save a lot of screen estste when people put a lot of icon inside.
edit: This piece works well with my *OLD* Asus P750...

Nice Apps.... but locked my screen occassionally. Btw i am using TP2.

Simple feature?
> All bug reports, fresh ideas and recommendations are welcome.
How about having the option to add links to programs? And perhaps with parameters as well. In that case you can skip the option about doc's etc, since you can add link to any doc, program on memory cards etc. And we can freely add programs always located at the same place that are not installed after a hard reset.

THX super app

Awesome app. Exactly what I was looking for, need to get this moved over to Devel and Hacking. I think a ton of ppl would like this over there.
I'm using it on VZW Touch Pro btw.

Feature suggestion! Would be great if you could define the setting between icons and set say 4 icons per row and te prog automatically centres the 4 icons and assigns spacing in between them..

Excellent app - replaces the old Eten quicklinks, which suffered greatly from "losing" entries when a new shortcut appeared in \Windows\Start Menu. EasyToday does not have this "feature"
But, SELECT is only one link at a time, you have to return to the list screen for each link that you want checked. So maybe v1.2 willallows multiple selections off the list screen ?

Hello,
It seems that the app is limited to just 14 icons. Is there a way to add more? I have plenty of room on my today screen.
Thank you for your software.

Like this app a lot, but have a suggestion/feature request:
Add the ability to have multiple "pages" of icons that you can flip between with a left/right swipe motion.
I know that's probably not the easiest thing to implement, but it would be awesome.
(actually just noticed Clound pretty much said the same thing -- great minds think alike!)

Second vote for this! This is a great application for those of us who prefer today screen over the touch flow.
I would like some space between the icons to make selection easier. 5 or 4 icons per row with a buffer horizontally, vertical height is fine...
Awesome App!

Help a noob....
I've downloaded the .cab and installed it to my device. Now how do I actually use the program? Can someone please walk me through the process? I can't even find the program anywhere on my phone!

Need some help with HD2 OS customizing.

I'm somewhat new to the UI customizing and need some help to get the desired effect, here's what i want to do, i want to keep the HTC Sense all contacts page, (only cause the functionality is amazing) the htc video and music player, the htc calender, and the HTC settings page (but for it to be set up like the manila windows settings), but i want the home screen to be the Manila Win6.5 screen. any and all help will be appreciated.

I think you're getting the terms confused a little there (which is understandable with this stuff). Manila is just the name for the behind-the-scenes elements of what you know as Sense, which runs on top of WM.
Unfortunately, all of the items you mentioned there are part of Sense, and while you can turn off most of the other tabs you don't want, you can't turn off the home tab without turning Sense off altogether...and when you do that, you then can't access any of the other Sense functions (vid/music players, calendar, settings, etc).

Okay, so is there and tweaks for WM that allow me to get the functionality like the mentioned features of the sense UI? or any that are better, cause as much as i love the SPB stuff, my dad uses it and i just wanna be different...or are there any tweaks for the sense UI that i can use to get what i want? because i kinda want plain WM homepage, but have the links on the homepage go to the parts of the sense UI? (i'll be happy to clarify anything i just said...

I noticed when I used the standard (titanium windows mobile) when I clicked on a few things they would go to the sence version of it but I dont think you can have both...search for titanium wm 6.5 themes and you might find something you like. Sense and SPB mobile shell are way different. Install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483 in my opinion much nicer than SPB mobile and you can still use all your sense icons...search it on youtube for demos

I do like that one, and i know sense and SPB are real different, my dad uses it but i dont want to. D: BTW i got c0okies home tab that toreone suggested, and I LOVE IT! it gives me the freedom to customize it the way i want it, AND it keeps the functionality and the appearance of HTC sense. I <3 xda...

It's all clear, but that's the thing...aside from the messaging client in this build, there's no way to access the sense modules unless sense is running. And when sense is running, you can't access either the standard WM today screen, or the Titanium home screen (the new version of stock WM UI, also built in to your HD2).
Your next option would probably be to just find a 3rd-party app for each of the functions you mentioned...there's plenty of choices in each category, with the exception of the settings. For those, it's either the stock WM settings, or the sense settings, and it sounds like what you're asking for is kind of a hybrid of the two. Since the WM settings are available at the root of the start menu (if you don't have them there when you turn sense off, that can be added), that would be the easiest way to go with that. To find your options for media players and calendars, just do a search on the whole of the xda forums and you'll find a bunch. I don't know much about the calendar apps, but the most common media players in use around here include:
-nitrogen
-coreplayer/tcpmp
-kinoma
-pocket player
EDIT: in the time it took me to write all that, I see now that you've taken toreone's advice and found the joy of CHT...so it's probably a non-issue now anyways

It's called the taskbar, and the one at the bottom where the soft buttons are is just called the softkey bar, just fyi
You can change the color and style of both of those with something like what you'll find in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5807605&postcount=1
Now, if what you want to change is the notification icon set that appears on the taskbar, there's a bunch of different options for that. I personally use and love dinik's anastasia set, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679518
I've also used and liked brian's gfreek edition taskbar set, and the phoenix edition B&W taskbar set, at the links below:

So could i use the taskbar and softkey bar color changer along with the icon sets?

yes, those elements aren't interdependent like that. most any visual part of sense can be changed independently of the others...but not all though

Okay, cool, hmn... is there a tweak that will getrid of the t-mo startup animation but keep the windows one... found!

Widgets - low dpi

I have just installed HyperDroidGBX which have low dpi. I like it a lot, with exception of one problem - widgets. They are smaller and have a lot of free space round them now.
Is there any way to stretch them, so they would be normal size?
EDIT: look at the attachment if you have no idea, what am i talking about. There is too much free space.

download propeditor.apk and look in build.prop for lcd.density.. change it to 240 or any other value
i see you have launcherpro.. let me make a suggestion - change the LCD.density to 194 and set the number of rows per page to 6.. it looks clean and fits both large set widgets, small set widgets and shortcuts perfectly

I wanted to keep the density, but thanks for the 194 suggestions. I will try it.
Wait, where to set number of rows to 6? I can only find option to increase it to 5.

Launcherpro 0.8.4.1 has the options for columns and rows up to 10, maybe only the pro(paid) version has this feature.

Ah, i have found it. I was looking into advanced section, where was only one option (to extend to 5 rows). Thanks.
