Is it possible to have multiple same tabs in HTC-Home...
For example, I would like to have multiple contacts tab !!!
yes i would like the same is it possible anybody?????
If you mean the Home, Favourite People, Weather, Launcher etc. icons then yes, it is possible.
Using a Registry editor Go to: HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\TabSetting (If you don't have the string TabSetting, Create a new String and name it to "TabSetting" and give it the values you want.)
There you will see the value: 1,2,3,4,6 (Each of these is a tab. Note there are no spaces between the numbers and commas)
1 = Home (Time + Date)
2 = Contact shortcuts.
3 = Weather
4 = Program shortcuts.
5 = Music schortcut. (Originaly it's hidden with this tweak you can active it.)
6 = Profile Manager.
The only thing you have to do is changing the values in TabSetting.
You can add or delete the tabs when you have no use of it.
So having a TabSetting of 1,2,3,4 will show Home, Favourite People, Weather and Launcher.
Having a TabSetting of 1,3,4,5 will show Home, Weather, Launcher and Music Player
I've just tried on my phone setting it to 1,2,3,4,5,6,2 and I did get two Favourite People icons. However, both icons took me to the same contact list.
There's nothing stopping you setting the TabSetting to 2,2,2,2,2,2 to have all your icons set to Favourite People.
Cool...
But my idea is to have more than 9 contacts - inside HTC-Home itself
Any thoughts
Thanks for the info, but with all due respect, having 5 icons on the bottom all linking to the same contact list may be fun, but not really useful.
Slightly off topic, you may want to look at some commercial software, such as Spb Mobile Shell, which gives you three dialer/contact buttons, with as many links as you can fit on it (approx 25 per page).
There may also be some freeware out there like claunch but I can't remember if it allows for contacts.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Alex,
as I said - I would PREFER to have HTC home always - I am impressed... and I would like to have that as my only plugin.
I love SPB for its colors / design and have tried all products before. I am trying to make my device as 'HTC only' as possible... If no options available - I would jump to SPB (I have a PAID for the Mobile Shell and lots of SPB prods)
Thanks
i tried to modify registry and set 1,2,3,4,5 but nothing happened. why?
i also made a softreset. anybody can help me?

Hi,
This is very undocumented but obtained by disassembling. :roll:
This shows your appointments text in the week view of the Calendar.
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar]
"showtextinweekview:=dword:00000001
Works for Windows CE4+.
Have fun,
Tweakradje
Thanks man,
Best used in landscape on my magician.

Can we see the screenshot :roll:
Victor
sorry no screenshot available
Sorry can't do, my magician won't attach files to the board. The tweak is harmless, so invest 2 minutes & see for yourself. In QVGA long app. don't show all text, but it's better than nothing.

Tried this in HKLM etc on my Universal (the Calendar section doesn't appear in HKCU). Didn't work.
Not in the Calendar HKCU on Wizard. Didn't work.

Key described in first post is correct. How about creating the key yourself ;O)
Works here... event needs to be long enough to fit the text, though

how did you get it to work. I do not have calendar in HKCU?
Just add it
If you're using PHM Regedit:
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft
2. In the bottom menu, choose Edit > New Key...
3. Set the name to "Calendar"
4. In the bottom menu, choose Edit > New DWORD Value
5. Set the name to "ShowTextInWeekView"
6. Set the value to 1
7. Click OK
If you're using TRE (Tascal Registry Editor):
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft
2. In the bottom menu, choose New > Key
3. Set the name to "Calendar"
4. In the bottom menu, choose New Dword
5. Set the name to "ShowTextInWeekView"
6. Double-tap this new entry
6. Set the value to 1
7. Click OK
Thanks for the fast reply. I got it working just now. This is great.
Is there also a way to show whole day activities in the weekview?
Thanks for that ZeBoxx - that's really useful. Why don't the devices come with these options enabled ?
While looking at this I opened HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowLunarCalendar and altered the DWORD Data value to 1.
After a soft reset go to Calendar, Menu, View and 'Lunar' appears in the drop down. Check it and when you scroll through with the left soft button, there's an extra screen with a month view and D02 - D30 followed by M01 in Feb M02 in March etc. I thought this might be Lunar Phases - but doesn't seem to be. Any ideas ?
They probably disabled it because, let's face it, there's not a whole lot you can read in it unless: 1. your words are short and 2. the event is long enough in duration to show it all
They should have made the week view have a horizontal layout - or at least give that as an option. Then showing the text wouldn't have been any issue whatsoever, and it would be more in line with 'Week' pocket agendas (you know, the paper kind) as well. I have no idea what MS were thinking with the vertical :>
As for the Lunar calendar view - it's a Lunar calendar view.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_calendar
I don't know enough about it to know whether it corresponds with any of the religious lunar calendars, though. You can derive the lunar phase from the Dxx number, though. D01 is roughly 'new moon', D14/D15 is roughly 'full moon'.
If you're using TotalCommander:
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft
2. In the bottom menu, choose Edit > Mkdir...
3. Set the name to "Calendar"
4. Go to the new folder and choose "+Add value+"
5. Set the name to "ShowTextInWeekView"w"
6. Choose type "Dword"
7. Set the value to 1
8. Click OK
I think it very usefull with my Qtek9000 where i mostly see my calendar in landscape mode.
9000 of course is vga as well, and if it's running in true vga mode, should have 4 times the space to show the text
ZeBoxx
If you had the week view the other way you would still have an issue because the text wouldn't fit in the hour / half hour slots !
Anyway thanks for the info on Lunar Calendar. After a bit of research it appears D16 is Full Moon and D30 or M is new moon - maybe that's what the M prefix is for.
Cheers.
BTW I couldn't benefit from the true VGA mode - my eyes won't allow it !!!!
Sure, you're going to run into a limitation one way or another. However, text (in most languages) is left>right or right>left, and you should be able to get a better fit in a horizontal orientation. E.g. your half hour example, they don't necessarily have to be as narrow as they currently are in the vertical layout - you could make them wider, and it would easily fit more text. If you do the same in the vertical layout (make them taller), you're still running into having to chop words up to make words fit.
Either layout would work just fine if the implementation actually had boxes that overlap across days / hours respectively to fit the entire description/location, and only use a small strip to indicate the actual duration. This is actually easier in a vertical layout I'll try and whip up an example picture - attached. A problem that then occurs, of course, is with overlapping events - or events at a time that the new overlapping box would obscure. Never an easy solution
Is there a way to make this work with 2003 SE?
It works on my magician with 2K3 in QVGA, so i do miss a lot text. But it better than nothing.

Does anybody know how to have this Plugin?...I know that SPB Pocket plus or Batterypack do something like this but looking for the one in th picture :wink:
Cheers
Perhaps it's iLauncher?
Try cLauncher, it's a freeware http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2006/04/claunch-freeware-ppc.html
I'm sure that it's not iLauncher..seems it's an extended rom module..
is there anybody to extract this smartphone style plugin?
aminsamizadeh - it's worth noting that a lot of those publicity ads are fake screenshots. In the Tube stations in London, they show 3 different types of ads (at least), and the interface is different to the real OS, eg showing something like Wisbar icons in the Start Bar (bar at the top), no close button etc.
So the plugin may just be made up. It's quite basic anyway. As oldsap says, claunch could match the style.

Hey guys,
ive been searching for this quite long and im still searching
Is there some kind of reg-hack where i can disable the scroll-bar on my today screen?
G00gle and boardsearch doesnt help me :/
hmmmm...common sense tells me that there isn't.
how would you expect your today screen to look like if you have 6-8 today plug-ins? with no scroll bar?
i hate that scroll bar too.
so to evoide it, i keep only the Date plug-in, SPB Diary (combines messagin+callendar+tasks+contacts+notes in the same space), and SPB Plus (quick launch icons).
sow with those 3 today plugins i evoid scroll bars.
you should resize the scrollbars sizes. i use the size 8 on my M5000.
it looks very smaller but it is still touchable and draggable even with the nail of my finger.
but i don't think there is a way to get rid of the scrollbars.
what method of fitting many today plugins would you suggest? this is the only one.
Nono guys, just thinning the scrollbars is definitely not the answer.
I actually did some searching as well and I found a statement of vijay555 and it worked fine on my device. There is a registry entry that can define whether there should be a scrollbar for a today item or not. You just set "type=5" for these today items and the scrollbar disappears:
1. Backup Registry, then using a good registry editor go to
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Today > Items
2. Find the Plugin you want to be scrollbar less, eg in my case VJAudioNotes.
3. Glance through the entries and find the one that says "Type". Double click type and change the value to 5
4. Go into Settings > Today and make some minor change to your today screen to force it to refresh (or just soft reset). Hopefully the changes will now be reflected.
This will force the plugin to the top of the screen and force scrollbars to occur under that plugin.
The thread I'm referring to is that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1172614&postcount=4
Yes nice, this was exacly what i was looking for BUT after a soft reset the reg doesnt save it.... and the order of the items is wrong and cant move em in the settings... "order" reg-setting doesnt change anything :/
mhh will have a look at this.
--Edit--
Seems it does work only for the top 3 items on the list. if a 4th one is set to type = 5 an other one gets automaticly type 4 :/
It does not always work. Do we always have to replace the value by the number "5" only?
For example, if I wanted to keep the owner info up top. The original value is "0". Based on the link you posted, replace it with "5", but instead of still showing the owner info, it completely disappears from the list. I'm just experimenting anyway. As Vijay said, BACKUP 1st.

Same thing with Calendar.
I am looking for some freebie software that will launch a large icon style menu... for an example:
SPB Mobile Shell replaces the left softkey with it's own menulauncher.exe file - which brings up a 3x3 icon screen - giving you 9 spots to fill in whatever app you want to open...
I want to assign this program using Wisbar Adv 3 - to the right softkey... so I can easily hit the softkey with my thumb and get huge icons to bring up my most commonly used appz with the touch of my thumb - quickly and easily... I do NOT want it to be on my TODAY page.... I perfer the clean look on the today page and have all the plugins there that I care for... I just want a menu to pop up that I can control with my thumb easily... I got a program called "Saman WM5NewMenu" which is CLOSE - but it isn't easily clickable by thumb.... doable, but not easy, nor does it have icons, etc...
Anyone else found this desire and have a solution? Help is always appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
So I took the plunge yesterday and flashed my Kaiser with a custom ROM for the first time yesterday - Laurentius26's WM6.1 image, and I must say I am very pleased.
This has spurred me into trying to get my today screen *exactly* as I want it - I have tried various plugins but most seem to have too much (ie waste screen real estate) in them or too little.
I really like the Ultimate Launcher tabbed menu that comes with the ROM (I think it's a demo) for the gesture based tab switching with rotating cube effect, so I will probably stick with that.
I have done some mockups of what I want, and attached images to this post.
I want the top of the screen to be static, showing the time, date and the number of messages (ie SMS / MMS / Missed calls). I want the time quite big so you can glance at it whilst driving (No clock in car...). and before you say "Just use HTC home" - I do NOT want the tabs at the bottom of HTC home wasting screen space. I tried HHC, but you cannot set the number of tabs to 0 to remove the tabs alltogether.
The bottom half of the screen I want variable depending on which Ultimate Launcher (UL) tab I am on.
I want an "Apps" tab for quick launches. I bought SPB pocket plus which has an excellent app launcher, I will use that.
I want a "Media" tab with something like the HTC audio manager plugin capable of showing current track along with play/pause controls etc. I think this should be easy to do, I just need a player app with a today screen plugin.
I want a "Mail" tab with a list (ie preview) of latest emails / SMSs etc. Not sure what to use here, i own SPB diary as part of a bundle but this seems a bit overkill for this.
I want a "Boarding" tab for when I am planning riding activities for the weekend. (See image #2). For this, ideally I want a quick contacts bit at the top so I can one touch call my riding buddies and a weather strip below to see if it is worth riding this weekend
I need help with this bit - anyone know a quick contact list plugin like the tab from HTC home? Also, ultimate launcher will only allow you to specify one plugin for each tab, when I want two for this tab (Contacts and weather) - so I will need a plugin that can hold multiple plugins on a page and then specify that plugin as the one for the Boarding tab in ultimate launcher. SPB today does this, so I could maybe use that, unless I want to use SPB today in another tab as you can only use each plugin once.
So... suggestions are needed for:
Clock like the big one for HTC home (Found one or two, but none seem to show it just right like the HTC home one - big time with small date)
SMS / MMS / Missed calls / Voicemails counter like the one from HTC home - Does anyone know an app that lists waiting voicemails? Or is this info not available to the OS?
A quick contacts page like the one from the HTC home tab.
A today plugin that can accept other today plugins.
Any ideas?
TIA
I would like to know the same. Especially the part about the HTC Home plugin without any tabs at the bottom. I've tried to do this with rlToday, but the links of the unread mail/SMS and missed calls are not preserved. Any ideas are welcome!
Sounds a lot like my own wishlist.
SBSH PocketBreeze (with PocketWeather!); gives you a tabbed today with calender, tasks, contacts, notes, mail, other plugins and more. Skinable and with tons of settings...
Maybe CTD's BatteryStatus or rlToday for clock and call, sms, mms and mail counters?
Well it looks like I am not alone.
Is it just me, or is anyone else surprised by the number of packages that try to offer an all-in-one solution?
To me, there are two kinds of today plugins:
Ones that provide tabbed pages or some other organisation system and ones that provide the functionality (eg a weather strip, a clock strip). I just wish that people would package them as seperate entities, because you do not have to use a package's organisational system to want to use one of the package's pages.
I would also like to see some kind of system to allow multiple instances of a page. For example, on one ultimatelauncher tab I may want an SPB app launcher with app set A, but on another ultimatelauncher page i may want an SPB app launcher with app set B. currently the only way to do this is to use a different app (ie not SPB launcher app) for app set B. Either that or use SPB launcher's tab system, but I want to use ultimatelauncher to handle the tabs. I wonder if you could take the SPB launcher package, rename it to something else and install it a second time under a different name?

rlToday looks ideal for replicating the clock and message counter portion of HTC home, thanks very much!
This is my current Today Screen set-up.... I'm using all Spb apps.
Touch Commander 3.0
http://www.touch-commander.com/
Touch Commander lets you browse and scroll a Windows Mobile Pocket PC with a sweep of a finger across the screen just like an iPhone or TouchFLO. With just a touch, you'll be able to make quick calls to photo contacts, start applications, browse folders, get and send SMS, view photos and video, etc. Key features include full customization of interface elements, a Full Screen mode, and animated transition effects between screens.
Key Components
* Touch Control - scroll lists, open and minimize applications by finger sweeps
* Today Plugin with clock, weather, launcher and more
* Cube-like Multipage Launcher
* Finger-friendly Start Menu
* Titlebar Battery Indicator
Not a bad app. Not what I want though.
I do like your shortcuts screen in the cube though. Being able to add apps, contacts or subfolders is very cool.
Woohoo! some progress at last!

I used rlToday for the top, modified someone else's copy of HTC home to slim it down to 80px, leaving the rest for the ultimatelaunch cube
I would still like a quick contacts manager like the one in HTC home (Instead of the one I have below spb weather), and I would also like a nicer music plugin for the music tab, but overall I really like it - very finger friendly
Oh, and the clock is a transparency, so it works with any theme
Looking good.
Could you share the top bit?
Cheers

Wow, thats almost exactly what I've been trying to do with my home screen.
Can you post your rltoday skin?
will do soon, I was maybe gonna add a BT / Wifi switch to the left of the clock, and i think it is just over 80px, was probs gonna slim it down to 76px, so when you have a 2px gap above and below, you have used exactly 80px.
I am not sure about the clock also. With a 88:88 behind it to make it more like an LCD display or not? I also think I should maybe centre the clock propery (it's to the left) but it's like that in case the scrollbar comes up, so it doesn't overwrite the date. I suppose I could move the date to the left.
Talking of scrollbars, is it possible to make ultimatelaunch work so that if a page in the cube is too big to fit on the screen, it puts a scrollbar in (just in the cube bit of the screen, not down the whole side of the screen including the clock area) rather than making the cube bigger? I know you can limit the size of the cube, but this just makes anything that spills over get cut off.
