Will a newer version of Touch Flo 3D allow me to add other Today plugins to the Today screen such as Tasks, Visual VM , etc? I am running version 2.1 (touch pro 2) and it doesn't look like it allows it, does this work with the newer versions?
If you mean normal MS today screen plugins, then no. However, a third party application called secondtoday can do that for you

Also i used something else called TFdetacher a while back that didn't work to well for me, but may have improved.

Hi,
does anyone here use the TodayAgenda tool on the Touch Pro? I wonder if this is useful as it runs on the Today screen but does not fit into the TouchFLO3D ... Is there a good calendar tool already installed on Touch Pro? I am used to TodayAgenda on my HTC Wizard ...
Cheers,
Eriol
if touchflo is running on the today screen, no other today application can be used / displayed. However, by using an application called secondtoday (google it) you can have a second today screen, with all your usual today apps running. Switching between the two today screens can be done with a soft key - there is another app on the same site that sets this up for you - it replaces the phone soft key on the homescreen with secondtoday.
I use pocket informant which provides much better calenders, contact lists etc.
I don't use TodayAgenda, but I do use SPBDiary running on a SecondToday screen. It works very well switching between TouchFlo3D and the classic looking Today screen.
I also run a number of other Today Plugins in this screen provided by SecondToday e.g. PhoneAlarm and PocketWeather.

I've been using TodayAgenda with SecondToday since getting my Pro.
The flipping between TouchFlo and TodayAgenda works perfectly and there's no lag.
With VGA its possible to cram a lot of info on to the screen and still being legible.
Best solution I've seen so far to make up for the limited number of diary entries on the TouchFlo Todday screen. (Plus it's free!!)
Would be nice if TF3D can be hacked to add a tab that shows a selected Today module
absolutely. really need this.
I do
I use it on the second today screen. I'm unable to map a soft key to second today on the primary today screen though.
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.

Hi,
I have just the otherday managed to upgrade my HTC Touch to an actual official WM6.1 OS supplied by HTC (belive it or not!). Since I bought the phone in Bangkok I have had to wait for the relese of the HTC Thailand upgrade.
It included the ThouchFLO 2d (which I recon sux....can't change a thing about it), but I really liked the big clock in wm6.0. Is there a way to download a file somewhere to get the clock (a clock) to show up at the "settings/today/items"?
I have had a look at the Throttle launcher, M2D but can't really get any of them to work properly....anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
/F
my device:
HTC Touch P3452 ELF0100, WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19972 (build 19972.1.2.7)
ROM 3.07.707.02 WWE, 10/25/08
Radio 03.34.90
Not sure what you mean about big clock but do a search for HTC Home plug-in (I think the latest cab is version 2.1) and see if that is what you are after. Otherwise, have you tried the Manila 2D customizer tool (M2DC)? I don't know if it works on shipped roms TF2D but it might let you change certain aspects of TF2D.
Good luck
Hi,
Yes sorry for being a bit unclear....what I ment was ofcourse the digital clock display at the HTC Default Home screen. I have tried the HTC Home plug-in but it, as for so many others (feedback) freezes and forces me to hard reset.
The problem occurs when I turn off the Touchflo 2D in favour of other themes, I get no option to display a clock on the today screen (under items to display). Hence downloaded themes comes out as plain as can be without anything but a background, start and bottom bar.
I would like to have a digital clock display as for the previous HTC Default Home screen....or similar clock at least.
I read somewhere that you could display/hide the clock by changing registry values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock, Disabled to 0, as per this website. I have chacked in that location but found no such registry value named cclock.
Staring to think I might be actually a bit stupid for missing something very simple.....you never know until someone tells you!
I hope I made myself a bit more clear...

Well it sounds like you know what you are doing so I don't want to sound too "teachy". But what you are doing in the Item screen is turning off a Today plug-in (TF2D). AFAIK, everything that would appear on the Today screen is displayed as a plug-in. Your rom opted to show the TF2D plug-in. This plug-in overrides all others in the item screen so in order to use another plug-in, you must uncheck the TF2D plug-in. So with no plug-ins selected, you will have a blank Today screen.
There are several plug-ins you can install as alternatives to TF2D such as HTC Home, RLToday, etc. Just query Today plug-ins. Once installed you can initialise them from the Items screen. It is a little worrying that HTC Home crashes on your device. You might try a soft reset (small hole, poke with stylus) or uninstall it and reinstall it. It might be that you've run out of Program memory (Settings-->System--Memory). A soft reset will free it up again. I hope some of this is helpful.
Is there a HTC Cube version available for WM 6.5 (.x)
if not, is there a possibility to get the good old bottom-to-middle screen gesture back and link it to another application, like for example this app (which is by the way a really nice alternative for the standard actionscreen)
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).
