I actually like spb, but cLaunch offers the same and more for the Today screen:

brill thanks
If you want something that provides an enhanced Start Menu and task management, without cluttering up the today screen, try GSPocketMagic++

Dear all,
Would anyone please list out all the alternatives to HTC Home
or tell me your favourite today screen "home launcher" plugin IF you don't like HTC Home, and why?
Many thanks and look forward for all your feedback
I don't dislike Home, but I've recently disabled it. The reason: it does nothing that Mobile Shell 2 cannot do better. I like Mobile Shell 2 a lot, and once I have it, having Home take a lot of my Today screen's real estate for basically the same features didn't make sense.
An alternative to Mobile Shell is Pointui. It's more radically different, very well done in some aspects, buggy in others. Check it up.
I have SPB Pocket Plus.
Tab one has the PocketClock that was posted hiere on the forum, underneath is SBP Phone Suite, underneath is TodayAgenda.
Tab two has my most used programs and Tab three has SBP Weather and a few status displays (RAM, storage, etc...)
there would also be Touch Commander, but its basically the same and I read its rather buggy. dont know if this is still the case.
I prefer htc home due the resources consumes of the rest. For a quicklink on programs I use Quickmenu, that provide reset and other capabilities.
I prefer rlToday just becoz I could write it clean and simple analog clock with 3 notifications. SMS Email and Missed Calls. I use battery status for tray icons. QuickMenu for complete navigation.
Use Pointui Home
SPB Mobile Shell + PhoneAlarm.
Im getting my touch pro either tomorrow or the day after. I was just wondering what software applications would be good to have on this device?? I have seen throttlelock v 0.2, which i will try....if there any other cool applications please post them.
Thanks
Useful Apps.
For me HTC TouchFlo is great but flawed by the lack of being able to see more than 2 future calendar items.
Therefore in addition to TouchFlo I'm using SecondToday, which adds a second Today screen, you can then map one of the SoftKey on TouchFlo to display the second Today screen:

On SecondToday I've just got TodayAgenda running using the full second Today screen:

And added to these I've got Batti installed, for a better indication of battery status:

Best of all, the above are all freeware.
I love the TF3D interface but the calendar items is very annoying.
so I switched to SBP mobile shell, and SBP diary (also have SBP weather too)
I do miss the funkyness of the touch flo, but my device is now much easier to use and gives me more information upfront.
I read a little and apparently it is not possible ,at the moment, to incorporate "Phone Alarm" into TouchFlo 3D.
Well this pisses me of because I spent over $1000.00 on that new device and I can't even configure it the way I want and use the apps or "Tools" I like and need the way I want it....
So the goal of this Thread is to see if there are others in the same situation and maybe team up to try to find someone that has the Resources, Knowledge and the Time to make this request possible...
I've been reading on this site for almost two years and became a member (not too active) close to a year now and can honestly say that there is some super brilliant minds in here, not all, but some, that could probably write a "Patch" or even Rewrite this TouchFlo3D SW that would allow it to be personalized and more user friendly.
There is four things that I would like to get in this new TF3D
1- Ability to have TF3D and PA (Phone Alarm) to run simultaneously (without the need of a 3rd party sw)
2- Have the "Top Bar" or "Bottom Bar" to display the actual PA "Profile"
3- Have a large PA "Scroller" field (somewhere)
4- Link the "little WM Alarm Clock" to PA's Alarm instead.
If there are some others in the same situation, please let it be known...
I am really please with using SecondToday making the left softkey open SecondToday from the Home Page of Touchflo 3D.I know you said no third party software but it is really nice to have the "best" of both worlds in using ToucFlo as it was designed and having a whole new Today screen for PhoneAlarm. With the power of our device there is absolutely no lag when switching between SecondToday today screen and Touchflo "today" screen.
this really works and I'm actually glad to have touchflo and phonealarmon different pages
ps I have a nice vga skin for PA and TodayAgenda on my secondtoday today screen

What skin do you use for PhoneAlarm ?
I didn't find a nice one yet so I now use PhoneWeaver with SecondToday instead of PhoneAlarm but I want to use PhoneAlarm again.
I've used PhoneAlarm on my TytnII for almost a year and is way better than PhoneWeaver.
Hi all,
i am using this freeware calender enhancement that i find VERY useful..
you can customize number of appt shown on today, the font size and header types.
Find it at my blog .. have a post on it there.
Let me know if you found it useful ok?
did anyone find it useful? will love to hear
I have looked at it, haven't installed it yet. Presently using TF3D on Touch HD. Really like the look of it and the way it puts almost the whole system on the today screen.
What I would really like is (now possible) an additional page on TF3D which can have normal today plugins and on that page SPB diary.
This calendar plus would quite easily replace SPB diary if it also supported tasks. That's my gripe with TF3D as well. Why only appointments... when tasks also need similar attention on today screen?
But still, looks very cool. Will try it once have more time on my hands
glad u found it ok
Hi guys, I have a small problem. I want to disable TouchFlo on the Today screen but still have the menus and big buttons that Manila gives because if I disable the today plugin it switches everything off...
Thanks in advance for the help!

TouchFlow equals Finger Friendlyness .. or so they say.
Though TouchFlow3D is finger friendly, it is not the only XML based finger friendly interface. There are freeware and payware TF2D/TF3D alternatives.
First take a look here on XDA-Developers for Windows Mobile Themes where many of the Today-Plugins, discussed in the webpages below, are developed!
Second take a look here for the freeware Today-Plugins;
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-tag-today_screen-1-date.html
and
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/category/software/today-screen-software
Third take a look here for some Free~/Pay~/Evaluation~/Demo ware Today-Plugins;
http://en.softonic.com/pocketpc/virtual-desktops
Mentioned in the above web page(s), these two get mentioned everywhere on the www;

Hope this helps,
