[REQ] TF3D "happenings" -addon tab - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

Is there available or could someone make a tab to TF3D
Im thinking of something like "happenings" etc. It would be a simple tab that has following things:
- Tasklist
- Upcoming calendar events
- Upcoming birthdays and anniversaries
Settings would be atlest:
- you could define that how far would the event list search for events (for example 15 days ahead)
- same than previous for b-days and anniversaries
- you could define font sizes for each "box"
- you could drag the separator lines up or down and it would save its position (so that you could see for example 5 row tasks, 8 row events and 2 rows b-days and anni's).
- you could define that would it roll, bounce or multi-line texts
These settings would be just for eye candy etc.:
- you could add different backgrounds and separators
Im not a developer so I can't do it but this would be nice to have

A call history tab and a program tab would be good too

You can use Manila Today Plugin to show classic today page on a tab you want (stocks or wather) and load any today plugin you want to display anything. There are thusants of them on the net.
As for the program tab, you canenable it with some registry hacking (it is just hidden for some reason).
Both can be found in xda forum. Just search them!

Thanks for tip.
Tried but didn't work on my Dutty's R1 ROM

Would love that too !!!!!!!!
btw: how are your features/settings in S2U2 for instance?

I use the combination of secondToday and todayAgenda as a workaround.
Both freeware.
second today gives you a second today screen
It comes with an settings utility, where you can add today plugins, that you want to appear on the second today screen. You can also override soft buttons in TFlo3D and Second Today as well.
today agenda is a plugin for the today screen (so it can be activated on the second today screen) that shows tasks, appointments, birthdays of your contacts in the address book and can be customized in any thinkable way. Colours, fonts, text size, days to be shown ....
Works perfect for me and I assume for any other ROM.
I have set "agenda" to the left soft key (manila home tab). If I hit it, I get my second today screen with the agenda for the next 7 days. There I set the left soft key to "TFlo3D" and it brings me back to manila.
Hope it helps you.

HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?

HTC Homeplugin - How to edit white & grey text for: Home, Weather & Music Tabs?
Prior to posting this message, I have researched extensively on this site and Google for the answer but have not been successful. How can the white and grey text be changed to a different color in the HTC Homeplugin? For example, in the home tab, I am referring to the "carrier" name and "MM/DD/YY". In the weather tab, the white text for the current temperature vs. high= white and low= grey. The music tab initial text is white "Music Player" until you activate the media player and the text changes. I am currently using a white "tsk" and it makes it very hard to read the grey and white. I tried editing the "setup" XML file that is part of the initial HTC Homeplugin 6 tab version (I believe it's the latest one).
Any assistance on finding an answer to this inquiry will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have the same question about HTC Home customize (in Wizard forum): how to add more tabs, change categories as I want... but no one answer yet! Could you, the professional, please show to the newbie the way to do...
Up to now, I only can add my app from storage to 1 of 9 block in Laucher tab (by create a shortcut in Program folder) and to tray (by using PHM toy)...

As much I hate to say it, right now there is no option to change the color of the carrier and date. My only suggestion to you would be to use a darker tsk or use HHC to change the background of the home plugin to something darker like the original background. Maybe some day they will come up with a way to change those 2 features but it is not currently available.

As for the Home plugin, you can add up to 6 tabs using the home customizer or schaps advanced configuration tool. You can also pick and choose which tabs you want.
For example>> When you flash the TNT.1437 Rom, the default setup is 5 tabs(home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) but if you don't want the weather, but instead you would rather have the profiles tab, you can easily change that or have all 6 tabs.
As far as the launcher goes, you can only have 9 apps there and I don't think anything is gonna change that. If you need a quick launch solution, take a look at cLaunch. It's free and lets you do the same thing as the home plugin, only not so stylishly. Or if that is not an option for you then use PHM Power Toys and use TrayLaunch and that is just as effective.
Another Option for you would be Wisbar Advance Desktop(sorry, not free). You are able to create multiple pages and flip through them as you please(if you use HTC Home Customizer to unlock the home plugin you will be able to use it with WAD), add shortcuts to the desktop, create full themes for your today screen... etc. It's a really nice app but like I mentioned above, It isn't freeware.
OK! That means there's no way to add more tabs (just home, favorite contacts, weather, launcher, music) and add more block to Launcher either!
In fact I dont need new theme or skin but I'll try Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7.

It's not my goal to earn money and I do all this work as a hobby.
I'm happy if you appreciate my development for the community. If you wish to support my work, feel free to donate.
Nice, now this looks interesting..great work will test this out thanks
i will try this out,looks good thanks
Neat!
finally you can use tasks instead of all-day appointments
awsome Man it's good work!
Awsome! Lets try this out, thanks allot
very nice
will try it later
Awesome work!
Is it possible to leave the clock and weather in the original size? Since it's only swype up to view more tasks/appointments and your list is scrollable, I think there would be no problem...
(Just to add, you could use this size of weather and clock in the up swype view of cookie's...)
Just a suggestion although, thanks very much!
Wonderful!
The first real progress in managing tasks within Sense.
Testing right now...
Is it possible or maybe planned to do some kind of "sorting" (or even "tabbing") based on categories?
Thank you again... I'm very glad to see someone really is working on this tasks issue on Sense.
Hm this doenst really go well with the GTX sense theme from ElCondor.
Homescreen clock is duplicated, one up side down, one normal. and the swiping doesnt work. And the sun from the weatherpanel still shows in the middle in stead of the right corner.
Gonna reinstall GTX sense xD
Great job Mate, I've just installed it and i like it .
It's probabbly not a bug but for some reason i only get grid 3x3 quicklinks on My home screen.
Don't know where and how to switch it to 4x4 grid.
Manilla version 2.5.20113626.0
Os 5.2.21891.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Found solution
CHTEditor and job done.
This definitely shows promise...
There's tons of updates and customizations that can EVENTUALLY be made to such an extension of the Home Tab Editor.
I'm excited to see what else comes from this project. Keep up the great work.
Very cool, can you make a version with the standard clock and weather size?

Okay. Okay. I couldn't resist...
+1 for this idea.
+1 indeed.
I am using this on my HTC Fuze (VGA) and am very impressed. Only complaints/requests are: The animation studders slightly when swiping over to get to the tasks list, and is smooth when going back to the calendar list. Also, on a VGA screen it makes the time and weather pretty small and with 2 appointments/tasks showing it leaves nearly half of the "space" (not including softkeys or touchflow slider). I tried switching the "mode" off of VGA with the CHT settings app, but it still resulted in quicklinks that are getting cut off by the slider. This leads to my request...
Can you make this mod withOUT resizing the clock/weather? or on the flip side, is there a way you could raise the quicklinks up so that on a VGA screen I can have my appointments/tasks and a row of quicklinks?
Also is there a way that a count of active tasks could be visible when on the appointments screen? this way you have a reminder that you infact have tasks that are active.
This is a VERY awesome MOD to be combined with CHT, I think a lot of people have been missing tasks integration into sense2.5. Thanks a lot!
I just loaded this o to my AT&T Pure with success.
This is so awesome, I have used every other way to get appointments and tasks visible without adding more software.
I wonder how many people would like to see the clock a little bit bigger. I personally don't need quite so much real estate for appointments or tasks. If the two were integrated then maybe most of the screen would be covered. Just a thought.
And in order to edit, number of visible appointments I have to go to the registry for now?
Thank you again for your hard work.
wow
Excellent....have a few problems with gestures (lag) but fantastic!!!
AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!!
You and Cookie have done more for my HD than anyone/any other app, thanks so much!
+1 for the larger clock, but apart from that, amazing!!!
This is just what I was looking for, but +1 on the normal sized clock and weather, so it will play nice with the GTX theme. Great work!

CHT 1.8.5 - Apppointments

Hi all,
I cannot seem to view my appointments when they are set to 'Hide' with CHT.
I have set the appointment range to 14 days, however I cannot see them when I flick the screen down to bring them into view. When I set the editor to 'Show' them I can see them but I much prefer them hid - this always worked with no problems with CHT 1.7.
Any ideas?

[APP] mClock,v2.2 released

I uploaded my digital clock widget, mClock. I plan on adding more styles and/or options. Let me know what you think, what you would like to see as far as options go and whatever else.
I've attached the QR code and screenshots.
For the fonts in the screenshot I just grabbed some off the web and put them on the sdcard.
Fonts: 1979, Acens, Colwell, Orbitron-Medium, and the built in fonts.

There is also a donate version, mClock.donate
Looks great so far!
I have some suggestions though,
First of all, I really want a real 24 hour clock instead of the 12 hour clock available.
4x2 widget would be awesome.
Perhaps custom date formatting, for example, I cannot currently do "Sunday, November 7". The default android formatting options would be nice i.e "EEEE, EEE, HHHH, MMMM, d and so on."
Perhaps click to open application..
Maybe shadow options?
Larger font size than 100px? I currently use 128px which perfectly fits my screen from side to side.
Separating different lines would be awesome, for example, I might want month and day number on one row and weekday on another.
24 hr clock: I have the code almost ready for that
4x2 widget: Easy to add
Date format: Sunday, November 7 is already supported. You can turn off the year portion on any of the date formats and change the separator to ,(Space).
Click to open app: I've been thinking of a good way to handle this. I also need to allow clicking to open the options page. I've thought about dividing the clickable area to allow different launch options. If you have a good idea I'm all ears.
Shadow options: The blur effect overwrites the shadow. I haven't figured out a way to get both to work. I may settle for toggling between shadow or blur. But I did have the shadow working on a test build so it's doable.
Larger fonts: Easy to change
Different lines: That's where the different styles/formats come into play. Those take a bit more work but I do plan on providing that sort of thing.
Update to 1.3. Includes 24 hr clock, 4x2 widget and increased font max size
Exellent app mate! Congratulations! I m using it whole evening! So good, so far! I have no further wishes about this app! Loving it!
About the click to open app, why not a application in the launcher for the settings?
24 hour clock option should disable AM/PM automatically?
Still not seeing 4x2 widget?
I like shadow because it can act as both solid blur, shadow and the color is configurable.
Blur seems cut off at top and bottom at big font sizes?
I know it's a hassle for almost no difference but perhaps render it as text instead of a bitmap?
I know I sound whiny but this app has so great potential and is already better than the rest of the clocks, simply awesome work. Love it.
New update fixes the 4x2 issue. I forgot to add it to the manifest file... Also I disable the am/pm if 24 hour mode is on.
As for the shadow, I'll work on it next. Hopefully should have it ready tomorrow night. I have code already that allows you to select the shadow color, x & y offset and the shadow size. It should just be a matter of getting it all in shape and tested.
For the app launch. Do you mean put a item in the configure screen that will launch the app?
The blur getting cut off is a side effect of the clipping, I have an idea of how to solve that but I'm going to delay the fix for now.
I don't mind the suggestions, I like to know what can be improved.
Seems the update service crashes(or simply doesn't start) a lot on 1.3.1 with the 4x2 size?
Text won't fill the 4x2 widget correctly, fonts seem limited to a too small size(only 24 hour clock, won't fit width)?
Another suggestion of mine, 24 hour clocks usually display a leading zero when the hour is a single digit?
What I meant with app launch was to have a normal app (the ones that show up in your app drawer ^^) for configuration and launch custom apps with the widget.
Right now I have no clue why 4x2 doesn't work. It works on the emu but not on the device. The other sizes seem fine though. I'll look into it tomorrow.
Very cool looking digital clock widget! Great design.
My new favorite clock app !
What I really like about it is the way you can change colors.. gradient is a nice option.
Nice work mate !
Upload the APK please
Could you please attach the APK file here for the comfort of downloading?
It would be a great help.
Thanks
Arindam
Added the apk file to the original post.
New release now has shadows, more layout options, another clock format and some bug fixes. However I wasn't able to figure out the 4x2 widget issue so it's disabled for now.
looking awesome.
Good luck on the 4x2 widget.
Figured out the 4x2 issue. Still trying to get a good design on handling the app launch feature. One problem is you can have multiple widgets so if I disable the tap to config then you'll have to delete and re-add to change options. One idea is to have a popup that you either choose the app or the config, not as great as just tap to launch.
Awesome...The best clock widget till date...works great on my xperia x10.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
The clock seems kinda small, seems there is a lot of space to spare. See screenshot, bottom is the size I would want(Self-made clock widget), top is current size.
Awesome update man, 1.5 is simply awesome.
There's something "wrong" with the 1.5 version (market update)..
I've downloaded and installed your attached 1.4.1 file in first post just to be sure my eyes were ok..
When I set clock colours (white 100% and white 50%), the gradient is not as smooth as it used to be on 1.4.1
For the size not being as large as you want, try bumping up the font size and turning off clipping. Set the date's vertical alignment to bottom and the clock's to top. That should give you what you're looking for. And if the font size is maxed let me know and I'll increase it.
For the gradient issue. I know exactly what why it happens. I could go into tech details but basically to get the 4x2 working I had to reduce the rgba depth. I'll go back and increase it for all the smaller sizes.
Yeah, font size was maxed out. Perhaps make that setting a text input, shouldn't have any limits and be precise enough then.
Hey knoxcoder, I LOVE your widget, but as Poodlemastah points out, there's this major drawback of not being able to launch our app of choice when tapping it. This is a must have for all clock widgets.
Most of us like to set our alarms by just tapping on the clock widget, and right now I find myself using TWO clock widgets because of this... yours because it's the best looking, and another one in the adjacent home screen just to launch the alarms app... lol.
Even if it means having to re-add the widget once you add this feature, I still think it will be worth it in the long term... it's just a must-have for most people.
As Poodlemastah has suggested, I think the behaviour most of us would expect is:
Both the "add -> widget" option from the home screen and the icon in the app drawer will take us to the config screen. There, we can set all the parameters as we want them (including which app to launch).
Now, as you've said, there can be multiple instances of the widget, so maybe the ideal setup would be being able to "save" different clock configs from the settings menu (without necessarily applying them to any instance), then choosing which one of them to apply at the moment we add the widget to a homescreen. That way, it wouldn't be such a hassle to re-add them everytime, because the config would be saved.
It would be a matter of making the user conscious of this change by just re-arranging the settings menu: when we open it, it shows the options "Create new clock...", "Edit existing clock...", etc. That way, they would realize each clock is saved independently, and they would be asked for a name first of all, so that they would actually remember what it was called when they want to load it up.
Example:
· I open mClock settings
· I'm presented with 3 options: "Add existing clock to home screen"; "Create new clock..."; "Edit/delete existing clocks...".
· I choose "Create new clock..."
· I'm asked for a name, I name it "My clock".
· I'm then presented with the clock settings screen, which I procceed to adjust to my liking.
· At the bottom, I see 2 buttons: "Save" and "Cancel". I click "Save".
· After that, I'm taken back to the settings screen.
· I now choose "Add existing clock to home screen".
· I'm presented with a list of the existing clocks already created.
· I choose "My clock".
· The clock is added to a home screen (the central one, I guess?), and I'm automatically taken there to see it.
Another way to add a clock would be to go to a home screen, choose the "add widget" option in the launcher, and choose "mClock", in which case I would be taken to the same settings menu as before. The only difference would be that the clock would get added to the same screen from which I called the "add widget" option.
I don't know if this would be such a big hassle to make, or if it's impossible at all, since I haven't done any Android development yet. I'm only talking from a usual programmer and UI designer point of view
Let me know what you think.

I like the widget.
Some suggestions/ bugs:
- if I choose 100% alpha for background, analog clock, etc. it is not really invisible, there is still a shadow
- instead to turn the alpha to 100% to make background, analog clock, etc. invisible give a selection to turn off (e.g dont show background)
- I cant use any of my picture for background
- in the settings gui in portrait mode we have to scroll to the right side. Why dont you use 2 rows for all the settings buttons?

- instead to turn the alpha to 100% to make background, analog clock, etc. invisible give a selection to turn off (e.g dont show background) - noted down.
- I cant use any of my picture for background - what do you use to set picture? gallery? file manager? which file manager?
- in the settings gui in portrait mode we have to scroll to the right side. Why dont you use 2 rows for all the settings buttons? - because of less space available

Yes, use pictures with low size. the product of height and width of the picture should be less than 120000, preferably of the same size as background dimensions for best result.
