Anything other than SPB Pocket Plus or CLaunch?

I used to use CLaunch all the time, and then changed to Pocket Plus about a year ago.
Is there anything else out there that lets you put icons on the today screen and have both large, and small icons?
I don't need tabs, but I do need several icons.
I am happy to lose the battery and memory card status, because there are already several plugins that do that for free.

yes mate ilauncher best one imo,runs smooth small foot print and looks good

The Lightest one would be O2 shortcuts though there is Not much Customising you can do Like Changing the Icons or Sizes..

A better option would be to go for I Launcher

Here's something for U !!
In case U have ample resources and U want to experiment with something Real Innovative...
U can try WISBAR ADVANCED DESKTOP and Other VIRTUAL PAGES (Below)

OK, I have had a play with the options, and I think Wisbar Advanced Desktop looks like the one I may go for.
I like the way I can include Pocket Plus elements, and so many other things.
Although I didn't like tabs, I do really like having different desktops. One for my mail and calendar notification with GPRS/UMTS status, and another with all my icons.
Really nice interface, but seems quite buggy, so I might wait and see what the next version brings before I blow any cash on it.
Thanks

Change landscape menu - Greeeenplastic 0.1

Hi guys.
For last few nights was trying to change ugliest part of my lovely HTC touch pro - landscape menu - into somethink a little bit more eye-catching.
Its quite sad, that in factory standard Raphael, after sliding keyboard off, all you can see is some kind of retarded kids graphic design. So i decided to give it a go.
Effect is quite promising (i hope so), so i share it with you, and in few days I should come up with complete project - home screen, all the menus, landscape menu, background, font and even matching sounds.
My project codename is Greeeenplastic
here is the screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I hope you will like it and check this thread for more forthcoming graphic goodies.
And, of course, if you like it, please buy me some coffee , so i can work harder
how to make it work:
1. download Greeeenplastic01.zip to your device
2. disable TouchFlo (Settings - Today -Items - untick TouchFlo3D)
3. open Greeeenplastic01.zip using file explorer, and choose menu/action/extract. untick "apply path", tick on "overwrite existing files", choose "windows" folder as a destination.
4. Enable TouchFlo3D again (Settings - Today -Items - tick TouchFlo3D)
5. Slide open keyboard, and enjoy
Any comments welcome!

wow those look real awesome. one of the first things il try once i get the fuze
any chance you can make the colors look more like these?

Is it from a new version of TouchFlo?
I really like the 3 "add Shortcut" icons, maybe there is a cab, to get it to work like that.

This is the new Manila 2.5. It is very buggy so far (atleast on VGA).

Well my friend if you like shortcuts...may be you consider SPB mobile shell 3.01....
YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE IT THE WAY YOU WANT IT, PLACING THE SHORTCUTS THAT YOU NEED AND USE MOSTLY. THE CHOICES ARE ENDLESS...LOOK INTO IT , YOU WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO MANILLA...BELIEVE ME!!!
here is my home page on it shortcuts that i use all the time including my 2 preferred contacts
and by the way that my baby Kiara

Looking nice
But i haved tried mobile shell, it´s ok, but i more like touch flo.
So i hope to find a program or tweak there can do it.

You might want to take a look at this ROM:
[14 Aug][WWE] udK Leo R1 WM6.5 - Build 21840.5.0.60 - Base v2.08 - Hero UI Manila 2.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524224
I've been using it and it's fantastic. You have the shortcuts (actually you scroll it, so instead of just 3 you have 9). Other details in this ROM make it a great experience. I don't feel like going back to 6.1 after using it, still needs some bugs to be fixed, but you can give it a try.
I use the shortcuts for:
1- Enabling Bluetooth (CicleBT)
2- Toggle Wifi On/Off
3- Gmail shortcut
Hope this helps you

It's 2.5....

You realise of course that getting this home screen involves first Hard SPL for your phone and then flashing the new ROM. Tom Codon has a 2.5 ROM that is not particularly buggy - I find it fine for day to day use you can find it at http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274

battery with time on topbar?

This is extremely useful!!

+1 I need it too

it will be very very useful.

Don't know, but did you try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544979
Don't know if it"s compatible with LEO though

try batti . Its good

that prog doesnt work properly on my hd2. it just shows '26/' overlaid ontop of the battery sign. doesnt seem to have an uninstall feature, its now messed up my taskbar

right, it won't work
@vinokirk
same prob, cant uninstall it
edit:
for uninstall you have to do this things:
for now u have to delete following reg entries by hand ..
HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Shell\\
delete -> TBOpt
delete -> ShowTitleBarClock
HKLM\\nls\\overrides
delete -> SSDte
delete -> S1159
delete -> S2359
delete -> STFmt
and then soft reset

I recommend TouchLockPro (http://www.zuinigerijder.com/). It is lightweight, the battclock is excellent, and you don't really need to use the locking mechanism - though that is also very good. (I used it on my HD, and it was the first thing I installed on the Leo.)

This is a interesting topic without any answer.
Someone have a clue ?

ooh i would like this too

You mean it should looks like this:
I found a perfect program on XDA that could do this and also it is adding a lot of methods for locking the HD2. Highly recommended!!!
View attachment TouchLockPro.2.9.CAB
View attachment Settings.zip

Yes, that's it. But that means one have to install another lockscreen app, right ?
I already saw this solution, but I don't want to install another lockscreen app.
But thanks for your reply ! =]

But you can disable all locking futures in it and just live clock/battery mods.

You can give a try to kBattery. And then you can make it look like this :
You can enter setup and change the colors and some settings by tap&holding your finger on the battery.
Cheers,
Nibbler.

as alternative way, you can use wm 6.5.3 based rom.
battery and clock displaying all the time in taskbar.

I don't like kBattery because it slows down the HD2. Just take a look at the clouds in Sense and you'll see how they stutter when kBattery is activated.
Have a look at BattClock v1.20 instead http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-battclock.html
I had to make a couple of changes in the registry to make it fit perfectly and now I'm very happy.
The made the following changes in HKCU\Software\ZunigeRijder\LockSettings
ClockForeground=16777215
ClockHeight=48
ClockWidth=66
ClockX=4294967190
FontSize=20

BattClock rules !
Indeed, this is really a good light app.
Thanks Tubgirl !

Tip for an on-screen keyboard only with directional arrows?

Hi everyone, I bought Samsung Epix, which is a wonderful device, except that the optical joystick/touchpad sucks.
So, I wanted to ask if you know about software keyboard that would contain only directional arrows (as for example navigating a word or two back is a catastrophe - the touchpad reacts with delay, and it takes a lot of attempts to put the cursor where I wanted - and using it in mouse mode to click between two concrete letters is a pain too).
I created a mockup of what I would like - is there existing keyboard like this, or some lightweight skinnable one for which I could make an arrows-only skin?

Thank you!

Great idea, but it doesn't exist because the Epix and the Saga are the only phones that really need this.

FingerKeyboard skin
Some time ago, when I used FingerKeyboard 2.0, I wanted this same thing and did it by "cheating." Make made layout in another language and put only the four arrow keys that layout. If you use FingerKeyboard, doing this isn't diffficult as the skins are just text files.
If you'd like me to dig through my old files, I can look for my skin, However, I have a lot lined up as work this week and probably won't get to it until Friday.

Thanks, that shouldn't be necessary - just a tip for a concrete configurable SIP and the 'custom language' trick is enough, thank you!
