request/suggestion for the homescreen cab by cookie - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

at first let me excuse me if i sound naive (im not really a techhead)
i just got my htc hd2 recently..
i totally like the hometab cab for sense 2.5 from cookie
although i think it could even be better,
the agenda got added a few appointments that you could now view from youre homescreen thats excellent. i know what im going to suggest might sound a bit silly but for people who have around 8 appointments each day it could be usefull
of course these people just can view their agenda for this i agree but i would just love it if would be possible to add a tab on the homescreen where u could just view youre full agende on the homescreen (like when you scroll up)
i could understand it if people say its unnecessary since you can just click on youre agenda at the tab lol but anyways just a suggestion cheers

a way to replace it with a pre manila 2.1 clock or just make all weather graphics transparent will do, i dont want the space for anything i just dont want to see it.

so far so good, does anyone know how to hide the city name text London
Wow you sure dont like sense.....
Might as well just do this:
On the HTC Sense UI, you go to Settings, go to all settings from the menu tab on the bottom right. From there choose Today, then flick left to the Items tab, and change the selection to Windows Default and ensure that Sense is unchecked.

Differences, Pros vs Cons of MaxManila vs Cookies Home Tab ?

I have tried Cookies Home Tab, so far I like it...but I have not gotten a chance to try 'maxManila' and I was wondering if you all could provide some pros vs cons, or at least tell me which you personally would prefer and why (if possible)? Or even just tell me what are the differences, or just main differences ?
This would be very helpful... thank you very much in advance and I hope to hear from you all soon! ...
+1. I'd like to know too.
I personally prefer MaxManila. It's very easy to customize, allows you to (re)arrange your homescreen to your own needs (mine is almost empty, besides clock-weather-date and notification icons - no slider). It's compatible with a lot of other cabs/tweaks/progs. It's stable as a rock. I also used Cookie's Home tab for a short while but, at least on my HD2, it is not as stable as MaxManila and it's relatively power hungry (who needs 48 shortcuts anyway?).
Of course this is my personal opinion. Both mods are absolutely great but, alas, they can't function together, thus choices have to be made: MaxManila
There's a release of Co0kie's Home Tab coming soon that should shake things up a little
in cookies you have a nice function to slide your icons from page 1,2 and 3
but in max you have the nice clock functions like the analog clock,and pic your own wallpaper for the animations(animated wallpaper).
i think maxmanila is more fun and cookies more for business
Mostly a question of preference, you should try both and see what you prefer. Maxmanila is not for me, I don't care the slightest about being able to move stuff around, change clock, change borders, sliders,... the stock Sense look is excellent. But I really like having my 3 pages of 5x4 shortcuts, appointments, or empty home screen CHT allows for...

Not for me either, but coockie has announced earlier that adjustable clocks are on his to do list (for the upcoming version). I prefered Max but when coockie introduced his 1.6.1 version (7th of March) I caved...as said above...more for business, but I do miss Max's adjustable clocks.
Coockie's new version should close that gap I sure hope so
I miss the slide function from page to page from my long gone HTC Hero, so I prefer cookie's mod. Maxmanila is good if u like to change the clock and wallpaper often with just some simple and quick click. U should give maxmanila a try to see what u prefer more

(REQ) Carousel Mod for Sense 2.5 (SPB Shell-Like) but not SPB

Does anyone know if this is possible or available. Would be so nice.
To have a carousel function (similar to the SBP Shell panels carousel) that can either replace the sense slider or work as a stand alone app.
That would definitely be cool, but I am pretty sure there is nothing like that at the moment.
I agree, would be nice!
But not going to happen...

You never know...
it would be better if you can Flick the home screen up and down endlessly like a kinda cirkel,
don't know if you'll understand my idea but like this,
if you Flick up you can get to the manila player, further up you'll get to albums further up you get a blank page it would be cool of you can put widgets over there and you flick again you get cookies home tab and another flick to get back at manila home screen.
hope ya'll understand my idea
sorry for my english

I sort of get what u mean. That would be sort of similar to the current sense slider but with 2 differences; Upwards/downwards scrolling instead of side to side. And different animation style for the transition of each page (flip, fold, flick etc). Nice idea...bu I would prefer the carousel better.
Had a look around the SPB shell threads and got the impression that there may be legal / patent related stuff that means the "carousel" is only for "spb mobile shell". So currently using both on my HD2 and a neat toggle switch app to change between Sense & SPB. ALthough SPB is nice (lots of eye candy) I prefer Sense (smoothness & speed) but would love that carousel or something similar.
I know nothing about apps & programming (should have paid more attention in IT classes) so just hoping someone here latches onto the idea.

16 or 20 shortcuts

im running a standard hd2 leo rom(as it came from shop)tmobile but unlocked,on o2 if that matters.i would really like to make my home screen show 16 or 20 shortcuts but not sure which to use and would appreciate it if one of you computer wizards could help me plz.my manilla is 2.5.19202525.0 with a 1.43.110.2(70315)wwe rom with 2.04.50.22_2 radioTHANKYOU in advance
Have you tried Cookie's Home Tab?
By far the best mod out there. Gives you several options for shortcuts.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483
only want to get the 16 or 20 shortcuts tho m8 as i have already customised the start and made clock see thrtough
short cuts
cookie home app you can increase the short cuts to what ever you want. Hope this helps.
And as you want you can also 1 screen if you don't want the three screens.
Yeah... everyone is right about Co0kie's Home Tab... You can choose 3x3 or 4x4 or even 5x4. You also can choose from 1 to 5 pages of them. Well... 'nuff said but the bottom line is you can't go wrong with Co0kie's Home Tab. Other than that, try search for M24_MaxLume_Clock_for_CHT. Looks simple and clean with the glow in the dark feel. Well, maybe worth mentioning because its good.
yes have tried it now and its pretty good but cant uninstall touch x clock background or transparant clock(app uninstall just wont do it)ANY IDEAS ANYONE PLZ
Check the Co0kie's Home Tab thread for the same issue, and if it's not already been raised/answered, ask on there. As well as Co0kieMonster himself, there's a load of guys from the beta team that can answer many manila questions, and they're on the thread quite regularly.
Good luck mate
thx m8 .............

[Q] Why are there so few widgets for windows mobile

The past week i have been messing around a lot with my phone.
First i had Artemis with android on sd. I thought id try a nand android, but it had a less responsive screen. Also the navigation solutions are not what i am used to with igo8.
The only nice thing about android is the use of the nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on. It also has a lot off apps but most of them are useless.
I am back to win mobile but this time i am trying the energy rom
I would love to see more widgets for our Winmobile phones, so that we have best of both worlds in one package.

Have you tried cookie's home tab 2.0 yet? We already have working widgets for all those items you mentioned.. gmail, weather, sms, news and all kinds of others as well (clocks, music players, stop watches, calc's, etc..). I'd suggest searching and doing some reading first b4 posting. I look at it as we already have the best of both worlds since we can run all those other OS's with our devices. Lets see android run windows mobile and do it well.
A have been using cht for a long time now.
Energy has it baked into his rom.
Since i registered here i have been reading a lot and normally i don't ask for things.
I like to read an be a little on the background on this forum, that is why i don't have so many post counts. I was using Artemis since ver 16, almost everyday i visit this forum. I like it very much, only thing is that i can't find what i want using the search function. Often too many hits.
I think i spent about 17 hours this weekend on searching for widgets and stuff.
Sadly could not find it, that is why i posted this.
I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hey man my bad for the way that came across. I wasn't bad mouthing or saying anything negative, its just that alot of people start new threads asking questions that could easily be found/answered with a simple search. Believe me, I know how frustrating it could be to find what your looking for using the search here in the forums but thats because of all these new threads being started when the question could be asked/answered in one of many threads on similar topic. Please don't take it as I'm complaining and I certainly don't won't to detour you from posting..i'm just trying to help keep things less cluttered around here. Now anytime anyone else searches for "widgets" they'll have another thread added to the list. See what I mean?
Damn thats a long ass time..17 hours and you came up empty handed?
Here are links to all the CHT Widgets i could find. (just searched and came up with these..)
1 rat_2665's CHT 2.0 Clock Widgets
2 ZaxXx's CHT2.0.0 Widgets
3 DJC & BobsBBQ "Touch of Glass" Sense 2.5/Windows MP Skin

5 CHT2.0 WIDGET TypoClock

9 Colossus MOD of Poyensa Typoclock
10 The Ultimate Geek Clock
11 MIUI Analog Clock - 3 Clockface Options

I understand what you are trying to say.
Those are the ones i also have found.
There are lots of clock widgets and a few other things.
But the widgets i have mentioned earlier......nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on..... I still can't find them except for an weather widget(which only works with a few places in Holland, and another one is the same layout as standard) And i could use the rss widget for the news.
Id love to see less clocks and more like news, gmail and that sort of stuff.
Maybe the choice of widgets is a bit smaller because the core functions of WinMo and Sense are quite strong already.
And once CHT is in action, you can make shortcuts/quicklinks to existing apps. Why bother to make a widget for something existing, it´s like re-inventing the wheel, imho.
As an example, touching the sms or mail notification, the respective app opens immediately. That´s perfect for me...
Your right it has nice features already built in but dont like the extra steps i have to make to see a list of all the mails and mark them as read.
In android i swipe to a side and i see all my mails in a list and and check the ones i would like to mark as read. I have a lot of mail traffic that is why i would love that.
The same with news, swipe the other way and have the news right on the screen.
I know that there are more ways to do the trick, but i like the way they do it in android.

WOW dude..So than buy an android! Why complain that your windows mobile isn't more like android..I mean seriously man. I just listed close to 20 different widgets, when you said you spent 17 hrs searching to find nothing, and thats still not good enough. What did you think by starting this thread developers where going to line up here asking what you'd like? Develop them yourself if you don't like everyone else's hard work. You speak of sms and email with one swipe to the side..Those are 2 of the easiest things to set up with cht since they're default widgets.(don't have to install any additional cabs).
I thought asking would be free.
It would have been easy for you just to say that there is no such widget like i asked for.
End of discussion i'll start reading again and try not to post to much.

hey there. these posts get my blood a tad boiling. why? because xda is free and the contributors do not get paid to post. everything here is because people want to create and share. yet these threads happen and in my opinion they just seem to spit in the face of all that work. see the thing is, you didn't ask. you complained. you want nice widgets, implying the ones made for you for free were not good enough. you want less clocks and more other widgets. and you want them for free. WM has never been built on widgets; only with maxsense roms and cht can you find widgets. but yet, you want more. if you want something and it doesn't exist; make it. but really complaining in a forum where wares are made for free that there isn't enough out there is, well, rude.

hey.
so your post irkes me. at first i was going to ignore it but here i am.
you see, not only do you lessen the work of the people providing "tweaks" (like you are disdainful at people's free work) but you ignore all the fantastic work being done here and just sweep it all under the rug as being "roll overs" and "simple upgrades." really? there are a ton of apps (widgets?) in this forum and the windows mobile general forum that are fantastic...and free.
yes, free.
and provided because people want to share. nothing more.
not enough for you? start developing.
bored of all the tweaks and changing of winmo 6.5? start making some art.
what do you expect with your post? people to run to you and ask you what specific things they can make for you? how they can appease your wants? how about next time you use someone's work, say thanks or buy them a cup of coffee if you can. but don't sit there complaining that what is provided free to you is not enough.
or even better, contribute.

It was impossible for me to find better words. Thanks
I think i stepped on en few toe's here.
Just to get things straight, I really appreciate what all the devs are doing.
And as long as i cant do even a little of what they are doing, you wont hear me complaining about anything they make. I personally cant stand it when people keep nagging that something isn't right on a rom or app.
Believe me, i meant good by starting this post.
Goodbye for now.
Since CHT 2.0.0 was released there is an oportunity to add widgets in the home page of the Sense. [[ UPPPSSS !!! sorry forgot MaxSense ]]
CHT is free & open source, and all the members of the CHTgroups are kindly helping to anybpody who wants to edit, modify and create new CHT widgets. Its not so difficult as you could think initially, i tell you by experience. Just try and have fun
But sense is also more than home tab. Further the standar tabs you can add RSS tab, TV tab, FB tab, documents tab, weather tab, game15th tab, and some others i cannot remember right now.
Even WM is more than sense: titanium, SPB shell, wad, throttle launcher, and some others for sure i dont know!
Anyway i dont understand any competition between OS, I never use other than WM but frequently visit android-WP7 forums (even Iphone ) Anywhere is good for inspiration!
By now the CHT widgets list is limited. I hope that future verssions will bring more widgets. Up to now i have seen lot of PM movement, but I am sure is time to open a thread for widget makers and try to involve more friends in this job pleasure.
Enjoy yourselves!
