Ive been a windows mobile 6.1 user with HTC Vogue for 7-8 months now and I still have yet to find a Today Plugin that I am in love with.
I have tried quite a few of the readily available ones but I am curious to see what else is out there. I have scoured the forums for probably too long so now I am asking for your input.
FEWidgets, UltimateLaunch (you'll have to configure it manually), Manila2D, SPB Shell, ThrottleLauncher...

Thanks.
Are these better than spb pocket plus and why and how? I shall be thankful indeed.
better is a matter of presepective..
FEWidgets is a configurable opensource flash plugin. you can create your own plugins or use the existing ones.. i use it and it's AMAZING. very fast and very cool.
you'll have to search and experiment in order to realize what's best for you.
I have done a lot of searching however I continually find myself coming back to HTC home.
I would like something that is more intuitive and has more information readily available off of the today screen.
I like the idea behind fewidgets however I was unable to get it to work on my device.
It would be nice to get a thread that gives a summery of all of the major Today plugins and what their capabilities are.
I use UltimateLaunch as my main plugin and in this plugin I have five pages for additonal shortcuts and plugins - HTC Home 6 tab with HTC Home Customizer to change the look of HTC Home, Marsware weather panel with Rumball's animated diamond like weather icons, rl Calendar and Today Agenda. I have tried many others but didn't find much else that I needed or liked much. Havn't tried the Widgets yet though but probably will check it out some day. Always interested in fun new plugins but they have to be practical and something that I would use regularly to keep on my device. The ones I listed are very practical and I use them every day
m2d, m3d
love them both
andif you have too many plugins, use second today, its kool. if u use m2d or something similar and u use second today you can still use ur fav normal today plugins
I used rlToday and SBSH Pocket Breeze. With both I get all I want.
* rlToday lets me view some info, have a nice clock and a few icons (you can even create tabs if you combine it with mortscript).
* Pocket Breeze gives me my agenda, tasks, mail and messages.
That's all I need. It may not be the nicest view but it's usefull.
I am in the midst of trying to find a replacement for Manilla 2D, so I am currently using HTC Home. It's okay, but I imagine it's better with the customizer.
Wisbar Advanced Desktop 2 - provides loads of customisation through Themes and covers QVGA, VGA, WVGA and QWVGA.
I've tried all of those mentioned above (and a couple of others), and I find myself always going back to Homescreen pluplus. I find it the most reliable and lightweight shell, but that's mainly because I have an Elf and memory is at a premium. I'm currently developing my own theme (based on an existing one), and I really appreciate how customisable it is.
Just search for HS++ or Homescreen plusplus (or Batterystatus which was its older name).
Bernard
i flashed my htc kaiser with
which didn't have htc home inside it then i installed htc plus
believe me try it out its really nice
i have tried all these fewidgets throttle ultimate manilla but this one i think is what i can finally stick on
Titanium. M3d and 2d take too much battery/ram.
Plus, if you actually look at the files for titanium, you can customize the look pretty easily.

I'm glad I can announce that I just realized my new Today Screen's plugin: MY|WEATHER.
Read below: you can get it for free.
My program shows you:
- current weather conditions for any point on the Earth (thx to weather.com service of course)
- forecast prognoze for the upcoming week
- histograms of changes, temperatures, winds, humidities
- satellite preview of clouds moving in the animated sequence of the last 10 pictures (thx to bbc.co.uk service) Europe or USA views only
In many styles and display types. To change display content tap-and-move down or up over the plugin's screen. Or only tap to switch to another screen. More: you can turn on/off borders, backgrounds, bars.
You can even use "one-line" mimized style, to save the space of your Today Screen. In this line you will see only temperature, humidity, wind speed and a small icon to open satellite preview on the top of the screen for a moment.
On any Pocket PC Phone Edition, where you set GPRS or BT connection to the Internet, all weather data update automatically in the specified period. You decide how often you want to update (and how much pay for connection). A full update requests around 5kB for weather conditions and 15-25kB for every sat.image - but you can decide how many sat.images you want to use: from 1 (last available image) up to 10.

I open the contest to authors of animated icons. I give the fully-features licence of MY|WEATHER and all next updates for free,
to everyone who makes and provides a set of animated weather icons.
The set should cover all 51 icons for weather conditions (as it is know from weather.com service) and, at least! 10 animated icons inside.
Descriptions:
MY|WEATHER uses as animated icons the following files:
- image in .png format
- any number of colours
- any size of frame (but 50x50 is preffered because optimization)
- all 10 frames should be put in one row
- all frames have to be in the same size
- eventually transparent color is 255,0,255
- the name should be compared to one of static icon
- alpha blendiong is not supported now, but will be in the future
- used images must be copyrights free

Whether it works with PDA2K? Any of your programs does not work with PDA2K correctly.
specialy, MY|PHONE PROFILES (Lite) i bought it but it coz doing hardrest WTF. do u name this a software or Virus?? :evil:
befor u release any **** make sure that **** is work fine in ur XDA2 in addition dont say that **** works at -Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition- (LandScape Version) while u develope it in dummy rotate screen BASE.
i'm angry coz of ur ****s MY|**** MY|**** MY|**** :evil:
if u feel sorry of what u'v done go and make UPGRADE (FIXES) ASAP
or ReBack Our Money
No working
I just try this software for my MDA II OS WM 2003 SE and have some comments as the followings
1. To slow restart device
2. Bug- hanging when search local place
3. Incompatible, I have to remove late on
:twisted:
JGUI's software ideas are actually quite good, it's just that in practice they aren't very good when made into the final program.
Very often I've installed various JGUI today plugins only to find they cause soft resets and then when I try to uninstall them, it says it cannot find such and such a file...and this is just in Windows, never mind Pocket PC.
I have WeatherPanel on my today screen and never had an issue with it, bought it for that very reason.
Cheers
Anthony
hey, JGUI, I would still love if you merged the current MY|CALENDAR with MY|PHONE and instead of Zodiac sign and population of earth (which I don't really care about) found in the MY|CALENDAR plugin, add signal strength and Network, as found in MY|PHONE. If you were to do that that would make one convenient and very useful plugin. I like the big display of the time and the calendar of MY|CALENDAR, but if you remove the zodiac and the earth population option, makes a empty space, that on the today screen is very vital.
Something like this (of course add shadows to the cellulat part also)
Still all this would work
sure
Yorch,
Finally it should be!
Right after I will finish MY|PLANS and MY|ACTIONS.
Still I wonder how to use the small size of screen to get all requested information at once. and the size will smaller... in the upcoming newest HP6500
Many/multiplied screens for today view, like spb plus or dashboard are not solution. Personally I don't want to make any action to change the view because I have to see something another. I want to view all at once. In just one blink of eye.
I play with many ideas.
BTW: the version with satellites previews is almost finished, just let me 2-3 more days for deeper tests.
I personally love My|SMS Messages.
However, i keep having problem auto refreshing when i receive message.
Sometimes, it does not refresh when i need to open certain programs to over write Today Screen, then My|SMS Messages will display.
Probably is my device got problem, however, very long ago, i did try out your older version on my older PDA, it still have the refreshing error.
FYI only.
NOTE:
your MY|Phone Profile Lite still not upgrade it yet (v1.0). all peoples tried it said that it suck because it hang the device when thay do softreset, so thay need to do hardreset to fix the problem. however, thay think your (MY|Phone Profile Lite) need to upgrade it. and thay need a support from jgui company. thay are human thay have a feel thay have paid.
not quite
I'm sorry but this is not a true what you said.
I have customers with XDAII, they use MY|PHONE PROFILES LITE without problems.
Alhought I understand I have to make more fixes to be compatible with this device more.
I'm very sorry about you problems. Maybe you use another program which touch settings of phone features. Maybe you should try to not use some specified features: like services on/off. Or maybe do not use ring sounds from external card? The Lite version hac no notification on-fly features. It just change resitry settings when you change Profile. Nothing more until you change it again.
I hope the next version will be more stable in XDAII.
Will be soon.
Cant get this to function
I really like the idea this of this plug-in. :lol:
but I cannot get it to work on my XDA II,
it will not complete the localisation even with PIE running in the background. :?
Is this my fault or is there some way I can get this to function.
:?
I spend a lot of time outside and some forewarning would be very very useful.

hi kandratt,
i have tried touch commander and it runs well, the only thing i thing you might find is that everything your app does is available for free on xda. so while most will evaluate they will probably not buy
keep tweaking though, if you can get to the point where it's a one touch install for emulating multiple apps i'd consider shelling out.
one issue i have is your cube emulator - i like the 3D transition effect on the htc version more than the side to side movement on yours. are you working on this?
very good application. I like this side to side movement, works fast and simple to switch between pages without bugs. (sorry for my English)
Nice app.
Works so much better at scrollling that Bio Scroll on my Vanilla 4 Flashed MDA Compact 3.
Unfortunately would only use the scrollling feature so not sure it is worth the money.
Regards
There is a setting, to desable touchflo from toch comander, if there is a HTC device with Toch flo, like polaris.
If i check this option, (that means desable the touchflo from Toch comander) then i can not pull up touch comander. I think the software developer must look better this problem with the HTC Toch devices.
Or you can tell us what settings to do with HTC Devices.
I have already done the registry change, so that the original cube don't comes up.
And something else. The thumpnails for contacts are very very bad. can that be fixed?
In the Original Cube apears the thumpnails amaising gut.
anyway to may the slide feature bring up only contacts and maybe calculator>?
Very good app. I'm using it, so could you help me how's to disable battery status above title bar (above every page)
GooD App
OK. I can disable it.
Very good app for me.

Touch Commander 3.1 Diamond Matt Skin...
This is a Diamond Skin I put together for Touch Commander 3.1
** Copy the Diamond Matt skin folder to your device (to folder Program Files\Touch Commander\Skins\Diamond Matt)
** Open Touch Plug-in settings and choose skin
Credit goes to everyone at XDA as I used bits and pieces of other skins and themes to piece this one together. Icons resized to work with TC 3.1
Q: What's a "Half Cube"?
A: It's the idea of having the top half of the screen static and the bottom half as a cube.
Q: Why this thread?
A: Because I had another thread and the idea seemed popular. However, there are still hurdles to overcome to acheive the look and feel I and other people want. There are also various people developing new tools, and hopefullly they may see this and code something to solve some issues. I wanted to provide a thread where we could work together to overcome hurdles and acheive the coolest interface possible - money no object, but freeware apps would be nice of course.
Q: What am I ideally trying to acheive?
A: A top section with a clock and message counters, with a gesture controlled cube (left right gesture to spin between faces) at the bottom containing tabs for all the standard fare. Also, a favorite contacts plugin (gesture up/down to select contacts) and music plugin (gesture up/down to scroll through albums) for faces of the cube that are slick and intuitive.
Ideally it should also handle landscape mode well and the switch between portrait and landscape should not mess up the interface.
Mocked up interface:
THIS IS MOCKED UP IN A VIDEO EDITING PROG USING PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGES. DO NOT ASK ME WHAT APPS I USED OR HOW TO GET THIS UI - IT CAN'T BE DONE - YET.

The top clock area is SaFF in XMT.
The Calendar tab is potentially how ThumbCal will look - the author seems interested in doing a today plugin.
The contacts and music tabs are completely mocked up in an art package.
Needed:
1) Tabbed launcher with gesture controlled cube, capable of doing partial screen.
Candidates:
a) Ultimatelauncher
2) Clock / Message counts section for top.
Candidates:
a) XIAMultiTheme (XMT)
rlToday replacement which enhances features. SaFF (The top clock bit) is currently using XMT.
b) rlToday plus skin
Issue: Only one instance per screen, might be nice to use something else so we can have rlToday in the cube.
Issue: Does not handle landscape <--> Portrait switching and back very well.
c) ProjectION clock.
Issues: Clock only
d) HTC Home
Issue: Has extra tabs that are not required and take up screen real estate.
3) Music Player plugin for media section in cube. My personal preference for music player is Conduits Pocket Player as it is easy to navigate using hard buttons and thus safer to use in the car.
Candidates:
a) V2R music player plugin (Controls WMP)
Issue: Gesture left/right used to navigate albums and the cube "captures" that.
Solution: Author modifies plugin to allow scrolling via up/down gesture.
b) Conduits Pocket Player
No plugin today, but the browser in the main program is just like I want. Conduits say they will be revamping the today plugin soon, so hopefully it will be like this.
4) App Launcher.
Something to launch apps from a page inside the cube.
Candidates:
a) Ultimatelauncher - has a nice system for doing this, so no worries.
b) SPB Pocket Plus - My previous preferred launcher.
Issue: As you can drag things around, gestures do not work in the SPB Launcher. Locking icons does not solve this.
5) Quick / Favorite contacts
The one from HTC home is OK, but comes with too much extra junk around it.
Candidates:
a) V2R Photo Dialler 2
Issue: Gesture left/right used to navigate contacts and the cube "captures" that.
Solution: Author modifies plugin to allow scrolling via up/down gesture.
b) Ultimatelauncher adds this feature.
c) HTC Home
Issue: Has extra tabs and clock that are not required and take up screen real estate.
6) Weather plugin
Must support non-US places
Candidates:
a) SPB Weather. Not free.
7) Portrait / Landscape switching
Issue: Switching from portrait to landscape causes the clock to be left justified, not centred, and is still only 240 wide not 320.
Solution: This appears to be an artifact of rlToday, it does not happen if you use HTC Home or ProjectION
Issue: Switching from landscape to portrait causes a scroll bar to be drawn on the right. Even when this disappears (if you scroll the bar down to the bottom), it has already chopped off the right edge of the clock rltoday box, which does not automatically redraw.
Solution: This appears to be to do with rlToday, as if you use HTChome or ProjectION for the clock, this does not happen.
[Update - I found a reg key to make today plugins "Always on top" - you then get no scroll bars ever appear for that plugin]
[Added picture of new 90px high format, 32x32 icons are just placeholders for now...]
[11/03/08 - Updated info regarding reg key to make always on top]
[11/03/08 - I have now worked out rlToday landscape / portrait switching and will be doing a landscape version and providing code to auto switch between the two]
[11/03/08 - New 90px size and layout - picture added - just placeholder icons for now still]
Battery Status
I was messing around with battery status and came up with something interesting. The only problem is, I can't get it to handle landscape.
For your quick contacts requirement try Spb Phone Suite. It's the closest I have been able to get to the HTC Home contact screen. It also has call blocking features (which I was looking for) and ringer profiles (I never use).
As for the weather plugin, the only one I have been able to find is Spb. I've been searching for other weather plugins for the last couple weeks and found nothing worth using.
I checked with Ikarus concerning the issue with switching to landscape mode and he said he will look into it.
Update:
XIAMultiTheme (XMT) is now going to be used for one or more of the components. Certainly the top clock area.
The current version of SaFF for XMT is attached. Requires mortscript (for the beep when clicking a button) and VJVolubilis (To toggle bluetooth) to be installed in default directories.
Icons still placeholders, but it looks the same (except font layout which is borked as current version of XMT does not centre fonts properly) except for numbers on the SMS / Mail counters which are now outlined!

Nice job! Can't wait to test but don't have sync cable with me...
Updated
First post updated. Please download and try the new version. Just a minor change though.
so you mean to tell me this updates the order in the home.xml or the registry. so i wont have to edit the home.xml ?
tlogix this app is the best and a must for any Smartphone now I can add picks and numbers with ease and add and change pages at will I was wondering how many pages can be added to the contacts

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It edits the registry, so if you have plugin order in your xml you will probably need to remove it. That way plugin order will come from reg, where this app does its magic.
I just wanted to point out that I have pretty much confirmed this works on the T-Mobile Shadow with the Shadow's Neo (pre-WM 6.1) interface as well!
Yahoooo!

tlogix this app is the best and a must for any Smartphone now I can add picks and numbers with ease and add and change pages at will I was wondering how many pages can be added to the contacts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Probably there's a limit set by CHome but I'm pretty sure that you'll be tired of flipping through all the pages before reaching the limit
I think that the limit is 12.

On my Excalibur using Rickswatt 6.1 ROM, he has included CApplications with 20 pages without problem. But it could be different on you device.
works on typhoon too
It's working on my Typhoon (Aleut's WM6.1 for Typhoon/Feeler/Amadeus pre [1.3])
working almost perfectly on my Blackjack with Da_G's WM6.1 ROM.
the one problem i have is a program crash when using the contact dialer template. i pick the contact, choose to enable/disable SMS, and then crash. the app and link templates are working OK.
not a huge problem. although it would be nice if someone could let me know the manual command to map SMS to softkey 2. that's the only thing i'm looking for.
Love the program. Quick question: I run the java version of gmail through esmertec jbed. I used the applications launcher template in chome configurator to create a homescreen shortcut to run gmail. However, when i launch the application via the shortcut, it simply opens jbed and from there I have to launch the gmail application manually. The start menu shortcut I created a long time ago uses the exact same command line ("\windows\jbed.exe" -run s3_) works perfectly and opens gmail directly.
Has anybody seen this issue and figured out the solution? Thanks in advance.
How to activate & use cMyFaves?
tlogix,
Thanks for this wonderful application!
It certainly takes the pain out of manually configuring the .xml home file!
Can you help me figure out how to use cMyFaves?
I've seen screenshots suggesting that it's liken to the HTC Home Favorite Contacts dialer.
But, I could never get it to show up in the Home screen of my Cingular 3100 running Erofich's WM6.1 Standard.
Is there something lacking in the OS that I need to include?
Please advise me.
Thanks!

This is a new feature I am working on... and this is my first effort. To show the essential interface elements of any new ROM I post or flash to.

This link here is to Part 1 of 2 Photo Slideshows ...
... that show Microlab's new Iolite-based WM 6.1 Manila TouchFlo 2D ROM in action. There are about 88 slides total, but the max size is 50 per slideshow, thus in 2 parts. I will post Part 2 tomorrow. I'm interested in knowing if this seems helpful to people, and if so, explain please.
LINK TO WATCH PART 1 SLIDESHOW (displays at Photobucket.com)
To see this ROM RELEASE thread, go here:
One thing you might note from this photo above: I choose to place my TODAY tab all the way to the right, and in the more customary "home" position I place PROGRAMS. Since my background is usability design, this is my reason, but everyone is different, and that's what makes these newer, easily customizable interfaces finally user-friendly for mainstream:
When I turn on my phone, I usually have something to do, maybe use google maps, maybe make an audio note. I don't care if I see the large clock telling me what time it is. I can see the time in the top task bar of the PROGRAMS page... but with PROGRAMS as my "home" screen, I immediately am able to finger-tap my primary apps without first having to slide to find the tab.
Second: If I do want to go to TODAY screen, it is half-a-second away, without even looking at my phone. I just slide the bottom tab-bar all the way right. It ends on "Today" so I don't have to slow down to make sure which tab I am on. These are my personal preferences.
In this Slideshow you will see: Phone with "Slide To Unlock 2", then "Today" page of the Touchflo 2D interface. Then a survey of Programs, People, Weather, etc, and use of tools like Total Commander.
I'm going to work out a way to tag each slide with a number or name reference so discussion can be posted about the functionality or controllable elements of any object on any page shown. For now, we will be winging it on the T-Mobile WING.

I like the rom exactly as done in your slideshow but the download link you posted shows a different rom. I am confused on how to make it look like the one above!
I like how the program menu is on the above rom, pretty cool!
That's a really nice looking rom. Thank you for sharing those pictures because they really give a better idea for choosing a custom rom.

Yeah, I know... I am new to TouchFlo, but I started searching on XDA for different themes/skins, and started to apply different themes.
There is an application available here at XDA called "M2dc" -- get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392 which enables people to very easily change their touchflo themes... by allowing people who know how to customize to export their themes as "m2dt" files (manila touchflo 2d THEME files).
Then: THIS THREAD has hundreds of themes you can choose from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451702
See post #6 where they begin showing the screenshots.
====
By the time I posted this slideshow, I had been experimenting with a bunch of these themes, but I do not know if I still have an m2dt theme file for this... because then I chnaged the bottom slide bar to be blue on white, for hiugher contrast, and then I chnaged the programs boxes from dark to light, for same reasons.
I will try to find the version in the slideshow. I changed the font size and colors -- which is also something you can do very easily with M2DC customization tool.
