I was just wondering how many people do not run the TF3D program on their TP or Fuze? And to those who do not run it what do your home screens look like? WHat programs do you customize your phone with? Just wondering cause I was going to get off the TF3D wagon for a while just for a change.
I use SPB shell and suite.
After a week with the Tilt, the excitement of TF3D wore off, so I finally removed it from the phone. I'm now running a VGA version of HTC Home, which I really like. Of course, nothing is perfect, and current problems are:
1. No customization program for VGA version of HTC Home
2. Contacts tab doesn't work (don't care about this, as I don't use that tab anyway)
3. Weather tab works, but available cities are limited
4. Program launcher tab only has room for 9 programs
Below the HTC Home section of my main screen, I also have my calendar, a Live Search plugin (for web searches right from the desktop), and a device locking button.
The only thing I miss from TF3D is the Intenet tab; I liked having the tab list my favorite pages.

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.
Hi,
someone can hel me to see the active tasks in TODAY of TouchFLO?
Now I can see only Time, calendar and calls..
I try to set the tasks in START-SETTING-TODAY-ELEMENTS but nothing.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have the same problem. But no solution
Tasks Touch LO
A simply way to it's to sobstitute calendar with tasks activity.
But how?
I try to use advance config tools secion TouchFLO 3D but no sets are here for my problem.
????
No other Today plugins/items can be used if TF3D is activated.
Until someone works out how to add task to TF3D itself (I assume by editing the XML bits of manilla) you will not be able to do this.
What would be really useful is if someone figured out how to add a Tasks tab to TF3D and also a Calendar tab too (I know there is one but I don't think it shows highlights on days with appointments etc).
People are working on these things so I tihnk there will be a solution down the road.
TF3D
So to solve the only way is to disable TF3D.
No solucion installing SPB Mobile shell o similar becouse with TF3D active it's impossible to add Tasks in Today Screen too.
Many thinks to solve
It's incredible you buy a terminal It's cost 800€, and you have to put a cab to fix double contact SIM and Cellular, You can't display the active tasks..., ....!!
But the ingeneers are tested this, or the most important think is to have a good weather tasks?
Bho!?
I have been searching for a Touchflo Tasks tab also with no luck. My best solution thus far as been to remap my PTT button to my tasks. This definitely isn't too bad to work with. I use NATFs ROM on my Fuze which already has remapping tools but you can use fuzemobility.com and search for PTT remap if you need.
why dont you try that tf3d disabler that lets you switch between tf3d and standard today screen plugins? simple click of a soft key and your back and forth between the two.

That would be your best bet IMO.
install secondToday, map that app to the PTT button or some other hard key, and you can easily have an alternate today screen for expanded agenda and tasks. By installing SecondToday, you can have all of your plug-ins right at hand... and get to them from anywhere in the device.
It's the best of both worlds. Really.
Does anyone know if the newer versions of Touch Flo 3D will allow other Today plug-ins ? Such as Tasks, etc?
I just started using MTP (Manilla Today Page) and it's incredible.
Just what I needed to put SPB Diary as it's own tab in TF3D.
I couldn't use TF3D for months till i got this working, and i gotta say, it's gorgeous.
what is Manila Today Page?
Any update with the Tasks Tab?
Now with the new HTC HD2 - I think that TouchFlo is finally a decent replacement for SPB Mobile Shell.
However, I still miss the Tasks window to complete the tabs list...
After more than four years with different WM smartphones, I finally moved to a PPC with the Samsung i770 aka Saga. The phone works great at 96 dpi with RealVGA, but I am having trouble finding a good today screen. I am surprised on two counts:
1. Incompatibility of themes between various screen resolutions, and
2. Small number of themes for the 320x320 screen of the i770.
I am looking for a today screen setup that looks like Manila 2D, but allows more things on the "home" tab (voicemail indicator, time of the next alarm, next 2-3 appointments instead of one, ability to control all-day appointments, etc.) I also absolutely need a calendar / appointments tab. Nice-to-have is the ability to show multiple timezones on the "home" tab and integration with the Samsung Alarms application rather than the Microsoft one that is part of the OS Settings. Is there anything out there that matches these needs? And what's the most popular / versatile today screen "shell" that people are using on 320x320 devices? It looks from the threads here that HTC Home was all the rage many months ago, then SPB Mobile Shell was the shell seeming most skinning action, and then UltimateLaunch, and then Manila 2D. What's the "in thing" now?
Thanks!
PS: I am tinkering with ThrottleLauncher right now, but I am not sure if there is something "better" out there.
You can use SPBMobileShell 2 (3 will be out soon so you might wanna wait) and look for a skin containing everything you just mentioned. there is a huge skins thread for SPBMS in the Dev&Hack section
Thank you. The challenge has been to find something that works with the square 320x320 screen at 96 dpi. Most screens seem to be for QVGA resolution.
Is there a way to get rid of the quicklinks and add a the tasks application in it's place? Or even have a tasks tab in Sense 2.5/ The HTC Leo/HD2 (Aus) is a great phone, but will end up having to go back to standard 6.1 style windows due to lack of tasks tab/manager. Been searching all day to no avail.
Hmmm, I put my task in the quicklinks.
can you explain how did you display the tasl in your quicklinks?
I too would LOVE to have tasks incorporated into Sense, either into the Calendar-tab or as a stand-alone tab.
I presently use a combination of pTasks (from this forum) and Pocket Informant (set up to show tasks in the calendar views) to access my tasks.
Both are very helpful programs but still I am not 100% satisified.
Sadly the developer of pTasks has clearly stated that there will be NO pTasks tab for Sense so that ends that hope.
I love the tweaked setup of my HD2 now and the only thing I really miss is the ability to see and modify my tasks directly in Sense!
If anyone in this great forum has any info on the 'Tasks-in-Sense' request please share!!
I'd also love to have a Tasks Tab or inside Calendar Tab or on Home Tab. Any of the three solution would have a great appreciation I think. Poll on this?

Cookies Home Tab 1.8.5 is THE solution - do not waste time looking any further - IT ROCKS !!!
Here's what I have:
Fuze/ATT
ROM - Windows Mobile® 6.5.x
CE OS 5.2.23533 (Build 23541.5.5.0)
Radio - 1.14.25.35
Protocol - 52.64c.25.35U
The Captain's Special - Sense 2.1 - Build 23541 - FUZE Edition
I like the CHome setup ... but.
I use SPB phone suite, and SPB has basically said they have no interest in dealing with titanium - they are only supporting it as a today screen plugin.
So, it looks like my best bet to have the functionality of all three things (if I want it) is to use TFDetacher AND SecondToday, have second today run phone suite and launch on start up, and have TFDetacher load the WindowsDefault home screen with TF3D as a toggled item.
My question to you:
Do you know of any profile switcher program designed as a titanium plugin that I could then use CHome Editor to add to the home screen?
The functionality that phone suite has, that I have not seen in other programs like phoneweaver, is to establish whitelists and blacklists of phone numbers that can be tied to a time based profile, so that, for example, only family can reach me at night ....
edited to add:
It seems to be working with Co0kie's Home Tab, and second today set as a quick link, WITHOUT telling it to run at start up.
I'd still like to find something that can become a Titanium plugin, because right now, I am NOT using TFDetacher because having that and SecondToday running at the same time seemed to be wicked laggy (yes, I'm in Boston).
