HTC Home is a great plugin, I loved it from the moment i layed hands on it, not to mention that the skins the community here have made just added to the magic.
But, there were allways a few things that bummed me out about it, firstly that it doesnt fully support my new I780, sure i can run it at 96DPI, but i hate having to change my whole resolution just to run one plugin. Secondly, and this one has bothered me for a while even when i was using my tytn. The plugin just isnt customisable enough, you are limited to how many icons you can add, how many contacts you can add, you can't shift the tabs around the way you want them, it has a pretty standard layout. the only thing you can pretty much change is the skin. But then came along a new plugin that totaly blows HTC Home out of the water ....
It's called Hinavigator.
At first glance i thought, o no, here comes another htc home clone like pointui... boy was i wrong. With Hinavigator plugin i can change the tabs around as i want, i can add as many as i want, i can delete them as i want. I can put the clock on the home screen, can add the weather on the home screen with it, or icons for apps or contacts ... or i can put the weather into a seperate tab etc ... the options are endless.
And best of all, it fully supports the I780 with 320x320 resolution. I am running this plugin at 128DPI and from the screenshots you can see it runs very smooth and looks great.
Anyway, here are some screenshots, i only really use 3 tabs, but you can add as many as you want.
My home screen, I added both clock and weather on my front screen.

My Applications screen, iv'e added a bunch of usefull system apps as well as my most common program i use :
Lastly my contacts screen, i havent had chance to add photo's so iv'e just put some icons there for the time being, nice things about contacts is that you can add up to 5000 contacts :
Anyway, this plugin really rocks ... maybe with some skins it will be even better, but at the current level i don't think HTC Home can even touch it.
it's only $10 and worth every penny.
here is the Homepage : http://www.ppclink.com/?ppclink=product&do=view&id=64
you can download the trial version from there.
What do you guys think ?

all I know a few days ago somebody said Samsung Today is the best today plugin
anyway, nice write up. There will always be newer and better home plugin as we have abundance of talented WM developers around so you never know there'll be better once elsewhere to be unveiled. the new touchxperience seems like a great tool!
Really this application is very nice I used it for 3 weeks and It caused NO problems at all
I been using this since the original release and I really like it.
However, the automatic weather update does not work as advertised.
It is now Aug 3 at 7:10 EST. The last update was Aug 2 at 3:40 PM EST. My setting is to update every hour!

From what i read the dev's are aware of the autoupdate bug and said a fix will be out soon. you can manually update it, i mean how lazy can you be, its just a click of a button. Hardly a reason not to use it.
I love your theme/background. Can you post it please?
two problem that makes me uninstall immediately, unfortunatly.
1. photo contacts are not cropped properly. my contacts photo only show top left corner and hardly their face.
2. renders my 'ok' button useless...

That's not the point. If you pay for an application that says it does something, it SHOULD do it.
Like I said, I like the application but wish the auto update (which does not work as of 1.6) would work as advertised.
EDIT: I did notice the auto update would work if the weather was put on the home tab along with the time/clock. However, when weather is on a separate tab, it does not work and update as the settings suggest.
Can I make it use WeatherPanel instead of it's own weather app?

Yes. You can disable(delete) HiNavigators weather tab and use weather panel. However, you will need to use whatever space is left on your today screen since HiNavigator doesn't pull in other plugins.
Oh =/ , I meant can I integrate weatherpanel into HiNavigator but I guess I can't.
o it makes sense now. i have my weather panel as part of my home screen so i guess that is why i dont have the auto update bug.
but come on, be a bit realistic, this program is new and has very few bugs for such a young program. you cant expect it to be bug free. even htc home has bugs and its ancient.
for the time being you can manualy click the update button or put your weather onto home screen, its just pure laziness if you use that as an excuse not to use the software at all. auto update for weather is a very minor bug in my opinion.
thanks a lot. That´s what im looking for. Much beter than htc home and better ans easy than battery status.
If i could remove new e-mails and mms shortcuts, and use backlight control...it would be perfect!
great software, after tried for three days and email ppclink, i have purchased it. Worth every penny. wish they will support finger design for Task Manager as iPhone style.
what we actualy need is a few people with some creative talent to make some nice skins for Hinavigator
the default skin is pretty cool, but would be nice to have a variety...
the only Interface i will be needing : TouchXperience i am so pumped up about it..
When it has Weather support for my city, maybe i'll think about buying it. Until then it's a no go!!
That TouchXperiance looks super tight.

Has anyone tried the new spb mobile i just downloaded it and its freaking awesome... destroys touch flow3d in usability and in ui. just wondering what everyine else thought
Tried it but im still a little unsure about it... you cant preview your texts or emails and its a little more complicated than TouchFlo but SPB has got TouchFlo hands down on personal customizing the UI
Tired it
along with PhoneAlarm and WisBar. Always come back to TF3D despite its annoyances.
I have not used Touch Flo at all after trying SPB Mobile Shell. 3.0.1 RC has fixed many problems btw.
spb wins hands dow, its like a whole new OS in a cab. it takes over so many things in the OS that i barely know im running a WM device, the start menu hook is great too
i did not like it first due to the lifestyle screen, but i installed some new great looking widgets and make a great setup that i can proudly say that its the best UI IMO, hope the widget and theme development continue to kick off
I tried SPB shell and loved the interface. The dealbreaker for me was the 4-5 second screen delay when you slide in/out the keyboard. I contacted SPB by email and they replied that they are aware of the problem, but they do not yet have a fix. They encouraged me to keep checking back. I'm happier with my TF3D for the moment.

It is fixed in 3.0.1 RC1.
Can I view:
Basic stuff (time, date, connection)
Latest headline from a RSS-source
Next task
Next calendar event
Missed sms/mms/email/call
Maybe something I forgot now
at the home-/mainscreen, at the same time?
Then I would switch to Spb Mobile asap.

You can customize the UI with many widgets and place them where you want, so you can do almost anything with it. Just try it:
Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1 Release Candidate 1 (build 6501)

I'm running SPB Pocket Plus with some other stuff and I can see all of that stuff. It is set to autohide - so underneath the home, weather, multimedia, and wireless icons there are shortcuts to all the programs that pertain to those tabs.
The rest of the stuff; dialer, calendar, tasks, missed call alert, etc. stay on the screen no matter what i am doing. The entire phone is extremely finger friendly. I barely have to use the stylus.

hey guys, why are you talking about RC?
they are selling full version on their site!
or am i missing something here?...
I believe RC is just a "test" version for the next version of spb 3.x, so it'll have some of the fixes that they implemented for the newer build. They are still selling 3.0 on their websites, but the RC is available for users who have problems such as delayed screen rotation. If you don't have the license yet, you can still purchase the license from spb website and use it on the RC instead of the 3.0 from the website.
I just downloaded SPB Mobile Shell today, and I must say I love it. I didn't think I'd love anything aside from the smoothness of TF3D2, but the customizability makes it hands down my new favorite.
tf detacher = spb mobile + tf3d = AWESOME!

What customizability? How do you customize Mobile shell?
I tried it for some days now but it seems pretty rigid!
The carrousel look funny, makes me remember Gollum's cube in my Wizard days!
Use the casual layout instead of the professional. Click the button in the lower right corner, and then click edit layout or add widget. Voila, and program or widget can be put on there and you can move stuff around and resize.
Tried the 15-day trial. I really like it- it's customizable, useful, and pretty flashy. Other than the 4-5 sec delay when opening the keyboard, there's no delay at all (TF3D would sometimes chug).
However, it drains battery like a mofo. This unfortunately is a dealbreaker.
I'll try out the RC update.
so i had ms3 installed for a good 3-4 weeks and i finally went back to tf3d because of a few things:
basically does teh same exact thing as tf3d, just a different ui
batterylife - drains battery much more than tf3d does
i posted earlier about tfdetacher, an awesome app, but it drains battery and processor
media player - spb uses windows media which is a huge drain on memory, whereas tf3d's player works without draining the memory or consequently the battery
sms/email previews in tff3d
i guess overall it's the whole battery thing and teh fact that ms3 and tf3d have similar/same functions...and i missed tflo. maybe i'll install it in 3 weeks again and use it for amonth again. who knows...
I was a bigtime MobileShell2 fan/user back in my 6800/Mogul Days, but HTC have since made WinMo a lot more usable than it used to be.
Gave 3.0 a try: I thought it was pretty ugly/unstylish compared to TF3D, plus the keyboard delay and battery problems. It still puts more things at your thumbtip than TF3D, but nothing nearly as groundbreaking as version 2 was in the day.
I was going to purchase an upgrade anyway figuring they'd at least fix the technical problems sooner or later, but I must also say that SPB customer support has really gone down the toilet since the MobileShell2 days. I tried a number of times to request (always in a respectful tone) that they provide me a way to actually use the discount being offered on their website, but I couldn't get them to respond in any meaningful way and they didn't even bother responding to the escalation request. It's too bad, but given they are no longer the only enhanced WinMo UI game in town, they really can't afford to alienate customers like this.
With the tf detach cab you can go between the shell and tf3d. Best of both imho as it gives you the choice in an instant. I can never decide which to use so both is good for me. My .02
Hi all. I just posted to the market this widget which basically shows the clock with current date, battery status, next alarm, network operator and more. Most of it is configurable (which information to show, which color to use). I will add more customizations in the future.
P.S. it seems that on Galaxy S widget has some issues, pleasepleaseplease contact me before giving "1 star" for this, i don't have a galaxy s and i'm trying to understand whats going wrong.
If you want to give it a try here is the appbrain page:

Hey, Thanks for your effort Good Application so far. Works great on my Hero
not bad at all man. working on N1
love this but is it possible to NOT show the clock??`
I'm gonna add an option to show date instead of clock on next release, i could also permit hiding the clock completely, thanks for feedback!
Nice App - running fine on my Evo 4g - really like all the custom options
@johnuopini hey the time is showing incorrectly when used as a widget in i9000..Its intermitent, not rated yet.If you need any help I should be able to help you
Thanks for calling me a liar in the market description. On my galaxy s it always runs eating 10mb of ram even if the widget it not on the home screen. You admit you've never tested this on galaxy s. Maybe you should try your app on more varied hardware before calling your potential customers liars
I seems like anyone time anyone tries to report a bug in the market you just edit the description saying that's not true

Hi Ben,
first of all i've never used the term "liar" or anything near that, maybe i wrote that its not true that the widget eats memory or stays in background if nothing its on the screen and that's because i have tested it on a galaxy s (info on the widget its outdated), i have many friends from google that are using it on nexus s which is quite similar so im quite sure about that. Probably it takes 5 to 10 minutes once removed to autokill itself but it will disappear.
Moreover i don't understand people like you who writes "1 star" comments like that. Most of the widget in the market, i would say 90% of them, have background processes that are there even if no widget is on screen, does this make them "1 star" just for that or you think this could be in some way linked to Android APIs? I don't think this is fair considering that you are not paying anything for the widget, i don't see your comment as very useful for the community, that's all.
I could go into technical details and explain you why this is happening so often but there is a lot of docs around.
Finally, if you are not using my widget, just uninstall it.
Regards.
Yeah any app, widget etc that runs when not open or in use I do rate 1 actually. Google market allows users to rate however they see fit
No other widgets on my phone run when not in use. They dont have to be uninstalled

Try a reboot with widget removed and you will see that its not there anymore, or wait 5 minutes and, again, you will se that the process is not there, im SURE i have tested it yesterday on a Galaxy S.
Anyway no problem with the "really not useful" 1 star comment but an email before rating would have been nice, maybe one day you will develop some free software and understand what i mean.
Ciao.
I rather like your widget (just got the paid version), but there are a few niggles...
1) The date format flips between US (December 11) and European (11 December) depending on how long it is. Perhaps link that format to the global settings?
2) Might be nice to be able to create your own formats, or add a few text areas.
3) Personal thing, the year on its own might be nice.
4) Not sure what's wrong with the font selection, but I think you're working on that already.
These are by no means major, this is a lovely app (run on a rooted Galaxy S2).

Hi,
do you have the same issue with fixed location? is location&security->use wireless networks enabled on your android options?
Great widget, thank you! One request: Could you incorporate a color picker such as the one by Devmil:[Library] Color picker (Open Source)
Basically, I would like to be able to type in the hex color code rather than fiddling with the sliders.
Will be buying the pro version soon. Thanks again!
Great widget, I paid for pro version.
Can you explain me how to get short format of #NEXTALARM#?
I'd like to show next alarm as "Alarm in 15:45" but I get "Alarm in 15 hours 45 minutes".
Simple alarm time would be also nice as "Next alarm at 05:45"
Transparent background?
Hi johnuopini,
I just bought your app(pro).How do I make the background transparent?You have different color settings but I don´t want any color.A transparent background (the wallpaper as background).

It looks nice, will have a look at it!
Nice one man, let me know what you think
Wow, this application is fantastic! The options are endless and cover any config for looks or device. I am definitely going to purchase this one.
Great job!
I've been using this app since a long time and I really love it. Before a few weeks, I've bougt the pro version to support the developer.
Everything is working fine, but one thing:
It's terrible to change the theme. It's great to have that function, but I really don't know, what I'm doing there.
Click here, click there, look - no changes. Click there, click here - changes. But why?
The settings are really hard to use. I hope, that you can makes this theming easier for us^^
This is one of the few app I have never uninstalled. I think because it is so darned customizable. and that it has always been actively developed. Glad to be able to check out the newest features. Thanks
One of the few true "must have" Android apps. Thanks for all your hard work!
I've also been using this app for several months. Keep up the good work!
So am i,
I thing i would is like a button on the button or top thats opens agenda,.. or does it have it already and that is missed it?
Keep up youre good work
Gr.
I have compared a bunch of calendar widgets, and I this was the best one . I have been using it for kind of a long time now. I love how efficient it is about space, allowing me to see as much as possible in a limited amount of space. And of course scrolling.
Good job!
I've been using your app for a long time and I love it.
Here's a screenshot of it on my Nexus One:
There is problem with the time on my device. I get tasks from Google Calendar and they start one hour too early. If I got an appointment at 8 it shows as if I got it at 7.
just wanted to say ive been using the pay version of your app for some time on my G2 and I absolutely love it. ive tried almost all the calendar/agenda widgets out there and none come close to yours in customization. big thanks and looking forward to future updates. no bugs here for me so far.
This App has become my new homescreen calander/agenda. I use to use calwidget (great app by the way) by came across agenda widget and fell in love. Love how you can scroll with ADW.
Only complaint is the UI needs some cleanup and tweaking. Took me an hour to get it to look the way I wanted it too.
Example:
Wow that was a lot of replies in no time!
First, thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
I'm glad to continue working on an application people use so much and the positive comments give me motivation to fix the bugs and add new features! I will now reply to the "support" questions in reverse chronological order:

I also cleaned up a few of the themes and tweaked some scrolling appearance bugs so they look a bit nicer to start with.

It has this function, you might need to override the date click action in settings->buttons and toolbars. This will become more automatic and easier to set in one or two releases as I have a nice little wizard half written which forces you to choose settings for click actions that will work

This should be fixed in the new version with a preview in the settings?
I was planning to release the free version to the market today (version 1.6.3), if anyone has time to check it doesn't break anything by upgrading the the dev version from the current market version it would be much appreciated!

I've tried the developer version now and I like the preview setting though i still find the whole color/transparency settings a bit confusing (now you can set the transparency inside the color setting?).
I also think I found a bug here - when you change something "error compiling widget" begins popping up at the top but you probably know.
Keep up the great work.

Yep, someone told me about that.
I am going to change the way the preview works so it can also preview scrolling widgets, once I do this I hope it will automagically fix the weird error compiling widget problem.
I've been using this widget for some time and it is the best agenda widget out there!
Thanks!
I would like to have a separate tasks and agenda widget. This is completely possible except that calendars are global whether 'use global settings' is ticked or not.
I updated to the dev plus version and I've encountered no bugs that haven't already been mentioned. The preview is brilliant saved exiting settings for every change

Hey man,
The calendar list is stored in a database (rather than preferences like everything else) so there is a separate preference to handle the calendar list per widget called "widget calendars independent" in the calendars preference branch. There are some instructions on the wiki that should help.

We made a video tutorial on how to use it in case some of you don't get some parts of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGsa-EAtkDM
You can also download it from the market here: <Paid version><Free versions>
Really amazing concept.
What is the difference between the two versions?
I think preference is spelled wrongly as well.
No way to redorder widgets?
Hey! Thanks for the kind words, let me answer your questions:
1. The difference right now is the paid version dosen't have an add in the app drawer, although that add is not producing that much revenue anyway. So the paid version is just basically to support us. So far it's paying the electricity bill but it's only doing that mind you.
2. Where is it spelt wrong?
3. Yeah you can, it should explain that in the video. If it dosen't: you just press the bar next to the widget, and then press the bar of a different widget and they will get swapped.
i like your choice for a name
are you limited to only having 6-7 icons on the screen?
Ads in a launcher are a no-go. Why not just disable an option or add something special to the paid version?
I will never use a launcher that features advertisements - the free version of the W7 launcher is the only other one I can think of, and I used it for all of 2 minutes before the ads drove me insane.
@GoneMADSoftware No you can have as many as you want in that strip in the middle
@Braneless You do have a point since right now we are making nothing off the adds, except people complaining about their existence. I'll think of something that the paid version will feature so the users will use it.
I looks cool

Like the look of the launcher a lot, if we could move widgets themselves it would be nicer, if you only have one widget you can't move it... also not all of my apps show in the list. More home screens and icons would be nice, no landscape mode, it cuts it off and the ability to scroll makes the launcher move around in portrait mode landscape just doesn't look right.
Great concept, keep up the work guys and I agree, great name for a launcher.

If you only have one widget you can move it arou... I don't follow. It's a widget list, like an app list, a lists start at the top therefore the first (and in this case only) widget would be at the top... where else would it be? I mean it's clearly a list of widgets so where else would you have it?
The fact that not all of you apps still baffles me. I just can't seem to find a way that works to get all the apps, properly, on all model phones. The way its done now seems to be the standard one and it works on most phones... what model phone do you have? I'll think of something... I do have 2, 1000-or more page android books lined up to read, if only my E-book reader would arrive this century, but i digress.
More home screens... i'd rather use the one home screen that exists already and expand it sideways with more branches. So you can add more icons and what-not. If i just add more screens it's like every other launcher out there.
I don't want it to have a landscape mode and i will probably remove the dodgy landscape that it has right now since it looks very wired. The launcher moves a bit in portrait mode because on a HVGA or QVGA screen the picture itself is bigger than the screen of the phone therefore a QVGA user won't be able to see all the icons without scrolling. I do admit that the slight movement of scrolling that it dose right not is a tad annoying and i will get around to fixing that; but there are only so many hours in the day and i've been having huge issues with sony xperia phones not displaying the icons of apps since yesterday so... need break!
Cheers for your feedback though!
Suggestion
Cool concept. Being able to select the icons on the home screen would be nice. Like the look of the stock ones from the launcher but prefer to use different SMS and Launcher apps. Having those apps Icon's mixed with the Stock phone etc. is less clean then it could be. Keep up the good work
What is it?
How many times have you rambled through your phone searching for an App? Wondering where in the world, among all those icons is the one you are searching.
Worry no more! That's what EZ-Launch is for.
To be honest, Ez-Launch is more of a widget than an app, and it helps you makes sense of your overburdened home screen.
How do I install it ?
Well, after you find " Ez-Launch " on google play store and download (Apologies for the absence of a link) and download, You add the Ez-Launch widget to your homepage, and EZ does the rest.
The app will learn your preferences and give you E-Z access to your favorite apps.
What if I don't want this app or that app on my widget? What choices do I have?
In purpose of enabling you more control we have defined a settings screen that enables you to select one of 3 options for every app installed on your device:
Always - This app will always be on the widget
Off - Never place this app on the widget.
Auto - Its up for the EZ-Launch app to decide.
In addition you also have the possibility to save a state of the widget (a certain collection of apps that you like) and load it later on as you please.
What?? How does it work? Is it... MAGIC!?
No. It isn't magic. It is a project developed by 4 Computer science students from Tel aviv University within an android technologies workshop in collaboration with Google.
During the project we have researched, studied and developed algorithms and heuristics (Yeah, sounds a bit complicated) all for your benefit and ease of mind. In order not to burden the reader, we will briefly just explain that the application service simply learns you, and knows how to give you the most convenient arrangement for your home screen that just continues to improve.
This is a project in the Beta phase, and we strongly recommend that you give it a try and download, especially if you know someone (Like your parents) that is having a hard time managing their home screen.
For those of you who don't know what Beta means, it is the phase right before the official release of the app, where you get to try it for free(!) and even influence the development by giving us your valuable feedback.
That's right! If you have complaints, suggestions, or any type of feedback just let us know by contacting the development team by mail:
[email protected]
Or on our Facebook page, where you can also LIKE us:
facebook.com/EzLaunch
So download, enjoy and let us know what you think.
Yours with love,
EZ-Launch Team.

Thanks. We would love to get your feedback.
To be honest...
This has quite the potential. I am amazed that I seem to be the only one trying it out here! I've been using it a couple of days now and it already gives me a great list of my most used widgets. I'm using it as a 5x3 widget on my note and thanks for making it scrollable as well! :thumbup:
I will recommend this! Thanks!

Great app indeed!
I only have one comment: while using it with Nova Launcher, resizing the widget 'kills' the way the icons are displayed, as I can only see half of the last row (for custom number of rows/columns).
good work with the app, reminds me of similar things with WinMo 6.x on my Sony Eric son X1 a while back. Would be nice to have resizable app icons within the widget though, if possible.
What a great idea! I am also surprised this app is not getting more attention. Nice work.
Thank you all for the positive feedback. We derive great pleasure in knowing that people like our creation and find it useful.
Besides from relishing on your compliments we would also like to hear any suggestions or complaints you might have. Do not hesitate to post here, email us at [email protected] or like us on facebook.com/EzLaunch
Thanks. :good:
sadly only for android 4 and up on store.
any chance to have it for gingerbread too???

You can scroll up/down to see all the apps
Nice you planing on ability to change icons and text ...theme abilities.
Hi. Is it possible to have an option for the widget to return to the top of its list after launching an app? Would love to see this feature added if possible.

AW: New App - Amazing technology! The end of homescreen chaos!
Hi,
Nice app. Would be great if you could make icon text optional and a scale down for icons. Till now I used a launcher-x widget on my home screen that is 5x2 grid size and contains 7x3 icons of my most used apps.
As is use these apps often the text is not needed. By scaling down the icons I can just get more icons in it.
Pretty nice app so far. If you could implement some of these features it would be worth buying it.
Regards

I would also like to see theming compatibility. or a color overlay or icon size options.
thanks! looks like this thread is starting to roll!
Yes reset to apply work ones. Minor hassel
Hi,
i used the widget for about 12 hours now. Yesterday evening the widget was learning pretty well and presented my mosted used apps. This morning the widget presented totaly diffrent apps. Most of them i use very rare or even don't use at all.

The last update from a couple of hours ago caused a reset. Just use your phone like normal and after a couple of hours or days the widget will automatically give you a better list.
