Hey guys i've been searching around a little bit and cant seem to find the answer to this, I'm trying to add things to my Home screen because the only things on there are the clock and calendar. Any help would be appreciated.
The TouchFLO 3D home screen isn't like a normal Today screen; it differs in that it's not directly customizable. You can't, for example, just add a plug-in to the home screen.
There are several additional tabs available here on XDA-Devs, or you can read up on editing Manila files, which use Lua, in order to customize your TF3D yourself. The latter isn't for the faint of heart!

There is limitless customization available depending on what you want.
It should ike you are running just WM today? TF3D is the bomb interface but there are others such as SPB Moobile Shell, Ultimate Launcher, etc....
I run 3 different interfaces simultaneously.

Hey guys first of all let me say that I love the wing. I already installed TotalCommander, Battery Status, Overclock, and a couple of other useful programs.
I have been viewing several different forums for Themes / Layouts. I installed a 6 button homescreen, a 5 button homescreen, and even the I-Phone theme. All of them installed and were operating, however, the 5 / 6 button layouts were buggy and never shifted screens once I opened up the keyboard. The Iphone theme was cool but only stretched to about 75 % of the wing's screen.
Anyways does anyone have a theme that works well and has easy access to contacts, SMS, email, weather, and other useful options without being buggy and will shift once I slide out a keyboard? Most of all does it look good? I installed that black HTC layout and its pretty cool but it doesn't add any buttons to the home screen which is what I see everyone running.
Another question I have is does anyone know of a good way to stop the Wing from dialing when its holstered? I made like 5 accidental calls yesterday and it was eating away at my minutes lol. I've heard autolock is a good option but it takes away a lot of memory and slows the wing down.
Also feel free to post any cool extra addons that you might know about !
well, since your questions are more about ppcs than the wing, i can help you
you can lock your phone with Device Lock, its on this forum, use search
It allows you to lock your phone wiht a push of a button so you dont make any calls you dont want. And even allows it to lock on wake and run a program if you want, i got it to run Oxios Hibernate, it frees up ram
As far as themes, the iphone theme is one of the only full fledged themes for these types of phones, if you want something else, check out plugins, the HTC Home Plug is a start, it has tabs and easy links to favorite ppl, programs, weather, and messaging, missed calls, and emails
How can I set up multiple today screens on my blackjack II (WM6)? Looks like wisbar advance desktop would accomplish this, but will it work on a non-touch screen device? I'll try it when I get home later and see. What I want to do is have multiple pages of completely different plugin sets, ie Home, something like HTC Action, Settings, and then be able to switch them by using the volume rocker (up/down). If you could imagine something similar to the HTC cube, only scrolling vertically (with the rocker) that's what I'm going after. I think this would work nicely for us non-touch screen users, i'm beginning to get envious of all the great options out there for touch. Any ideas are greatly appreciated, maybe I'll post a photoshop visual later of what I'm going after.
seems wisbar is pocket pc only at the moment, although it doesn't state this specifically on the downloads page. But i couldn't get through the install on my phone. The forums suggest smartphone apps are in developement but I couldn't find anything. SK Today Commander looks like another option and it installed...however I was unable to select any of the profile options it has, must be just incompatible with my phone or something...
any ideas? Any programmers could make a program that could render the today screen for a few different xml's and allow you to switch between them?
mortscript....looks like it will confuse the hell out of me, but I'm looking into it.

sbsh wisbar is for wm6 pro devices with touch screens. sbsh facade is for wm6 standard devices with no touch screen. facade allows the use of multiple screens. check out the sbsh facade forums for some pretty cool multi screen skins.

It is not difficult to create multi-page homescreens, though some "rules" do apply. You can check out what we are doing over at the Facade forum for examples.

Thanks for your replies guys, yeah it does look like facade is the way to go. Seems ekoflip on the SBSH forums has a few facade homescreens that "fake" the multiple page effect, I'll have to learn from that. I guess what I was really going for was a slick way to navigate them as well. In the facade multiple page themes, you don't really have more than one plugin on each "page", is that because you need the up/down keys to switch "pages" so you can't use them to go from plugin to plugin within the same "page" ? not as functional, or as "slick" as may be possible...
But I will definitely be looking into it, hopefully this weekend, thanks again.
First off I want to thank everyone here at XDA for all the hard work and effort you put into tweaking these great devices.
Now, on to my question, I've searched here and the diamond forum and I can't find any mention of a way to change the shortcut buttons on the landscape TF3D screen. I would really like to be able to customize that screen with shortcuts to applications I actually use. There must be a way to do this, has anyone got an idea?
First post , please go easy on my noobness.

Thanks Ouza but I saw that post and it's not what I'm looking for. This only deals with changing the two softkeys at the bottom of the landscape screen (which is nice in itself).
I'm wanting to change the 6 big shortcut ''buttons'' above that.
Basically I'd like to make the landscape screen the same idea as the programs tab in TF3D or something like it.
Any ideas... anyone??
I would seriously like to change the big shortcuts as well.I have a dock in my car using the video out. Video out forces Landscape mode. When I hop in my car, I dont want to take notes or check tasks, I want GPS, internet radio, Live Search...
I will dig deep into the registry and let you know what I find.
I want the same thing !!
Video out in the car, so I want to be able to start my Navigation from the landscape-menu.
Jochen
Change Landscape Menu
For the TV out menu that pops on screen after you plug in the video out cable, you can change the shortcuts in the registry.
HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOutPopUp\
There are four links in there, you can change them to any app installed on your phone. Only problem im having is changing the icons.
I have to bump this thread. There must be a customizer out there for the lanscape shortcuts! I just may go back to HTC Home if there is no way to put shortcuts in landscape!
I doubt this is exactly what you're looking for, but herg62123 is working on adding landscape tf3d to his project. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447056
Not quite,
I have my TP docked in landscape in the car and I would like to open apps like NAV, or Picture Dial, or Kinoma Play in landscape.

I don't think there is going to be any easy way to customize those shortcuts. I'm pretty sure the landscape shortcuts are hard-coded in one of the binary manila files.
That sucks!
Well I guess HTC Home will do for now.
You could change the softkeys to point to two of the apps you want to run. Not the perfect solution but it's better than nothing...
I guess....
Maybe I can use 2nd today and set a button to it with AEbutton and have HTC HOME for landscape and TF3D for portrait.
Thoughts?

Sounds like a good solution. I haven't used either product but from what I've read on here that should work. good luck!
Glad to see this topic getting some attention finally
For anyone interested, try out this theme with a slimmed down version of tf3d in landscape. It may suit what you're wanting more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458036&highlight=landscape
Frankly, though, I didn't like it, and preferred to go back to my old theme. My main goal was having a landscape screen with a handful of a few apps I'm most likely to use, but in this theme you still have to scroll through your entire list of apps installed so, it really wasn't any kind of shortcut.
I'll keep sorting through all the manila files for a solution. Anyone with any reference docs or anything on creating themes or customizing tf3d would help as I've never dealt with it until now.

I've been searching around and noticed that indeed themes do change the "landschape shortcuts" but there doesn't seem to be a "general" program that's able to change them. I'm a little confused, because some reactions state it isn't possible to change these "shortcuts", saying they are hardcoded. Does this mean they're rooted so deep in the code that it's very hard to change them? Anyway I keep following this thread and hopefully some come up with a solution... Keep it up!
*Wish I could help*
Im looking for some really simple todayscreen launcher. I want 4-5 icons in one row, directly launching apropriate apps. Nothing fancy, no need for submenus/other stuff. Only required option is to autosize icons to fit my X1 (WVGA) screen. Tried lot of launchers like ultimatelaunch, claunch, launch and others - all of them are overcomplicated and usually cant provide this simple requirements I want. Is there any program like this at all?
claunch (er) is so simple...dude, are you sure you do not need regular cellphone instead of ppc, if claunch is too complicated for you?
Its maybe simple, but doesnt work proprely on WVGA devices
ahh, good to know...hm have you tried ilauncher?
Yes, no, cancel?

Hey everyone, thanks for reading.
One of the things I'd like to see is a (QVGA) appointments tab for M2D/TF2D.
I feel really limited when being able to see only 1 appointment at my home screen, but having a list on a different tab would solve this completely.
This is what I'd like to see, however, any kind of appointment-tab would be greatly appreciated. It could also be something for later versions
-Configurable ammount of appointments at the tab.
-Kinetic scrolling (like programs tab) if there're to much appointments listed to fit the screen
-Can be switched position on the 'tabs-bar' trough M2DC
-(Instructions on how to get) An icon for it that fit's your theme on the 'tabs-bar'
If someone could explain to me where to start, or if it's even possible, I'm willing to give it a try myself. However I've never done any coding for PPC before.
Thanks in advance!
i would love to see this too. i hate only seeing one upcoming appointment, i often forget what goes on in the whole day. i know that thumbcal is only one click away, but this is why we mod things: to make them easier to use!
