app launcher freeware for wm6?

hi!
I just got a XDA Orbit 2 ( HTC Touch). Now im looking for an appLauncher like tdLaunch. I want Icons on the desktop on which I simply press the stylus and the according app starts... Just like the quick launch bar in windows...
Should be freeware
Thanks

You ought to look at the tray launch feature in BatteryStatus. That's what I use for my today launcher. And the popup launcher in WkTask is fantastic as a launcher over other programs. Both of those are free and you can find them on this board.

yeahh... well thtas all too much gadgets... I got batti which is very small in size on the display and gives a full overview over my battery status...
All I need are little icons on my PPC Desktop without no frills...
Thx anyway!

free and dont eat much mem

try this, just adds small icons to your today screen...
"Launcher is a Today screen add-on for PocketPC's. It adds an icon bar, much like Windows's Quick Launch bar. You can place as many applications (screen space permitting) to it's list as you wish simply by copying link files into the Launcher folder, and launch the applications with one tap."

Not a desktop thing, but Mort has MortButtons 2.5. Check that out maybe.

The current beta also includes a small today plugin to launch the menus from today screen. (And transition animations for submenus and finger gestures, similar to the HTC cube. There's a cube animation, too, but not as default because I'm afraid slow devices won't show it properly.)
Apart from that, I'd recommend cLaunch or maybe rlToday, if you want more freedom but also more complicated setup (XML file).

man Mort you freakin rock!!!
Thank you so so much for your cool appz o' course i got Buttons n Player installed... gonna check out that new version you talked about...
cLaunch dont seem to work properly on my touch though, but installed the before mentioned launcher and thats ok for me.
again... THANK YOU MORT FOR YOUR GREAT WORK !!!

Simple and fast today/launcher replacement

Any tips for some simple and whats important fast today screen replacement with some launcher function? Something intuitive like touchflo, from which I use only home/sms/launcher and maybe calendar (but its not really important).
Tried Manila (eats resources like ...), SPB Mobile Shell, WAMD, Inesoft Phone - all of them seems to me bit overstuffed with unneeded stuff, effects and so on. Liked ThrottleLauncher, but its slow and choppy on my X1.
I would like to have something like iContacts style app for desktop. Fast, nice and simple gfx, finger friendly...is it just hard to find? Or there is no such app at all?

Have you tried the basic HTC Homeplug? It takes just half the screen and handles weather, calls, music, progs, people, comm. You can get rid of a couple of tabs if you want too. I ran schaps HTC Homeplug with the stock today screen calendar program for a looong time and it did everything I needed.

Yeah HTC Home plugin, one of the best today plugins. Tried Manila2d but I still switch back to HTC Homeplug..

Any tips how to instal Home Plug to X1 with WVGA?
Tried one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533 but gfx is messed up and all icons are so small...

I use Ultimate Launch and Love it - It would do everything you want - And supports plugins - Unfortnately I don't know how it would look or even run on your x1

What is the first few things you do / install after you flash a new ROM?

I want to see what kind of apps and or tweaks you guys do upon flashing a new ROM. If you use UC or Sashi whatever to auto customize (haven't used either yet) what cabs do you auto-install or what settings do you auto-tweak (if that's an option)?
I personally pop open Fuze Tweak / Diamond Tweak along with Advanced Config and start messing with those settings, turning on battery saving stuff, updating touch sensitivity etc.
What do you do?

My stuff
UC:
Registry: Owner Information
Cab: eWallet
Delete sample Wallet that was installed
Registry: info for eWallet
Install SpriteBackup
Install HandyShopper
After:
Set volume levels and ring tone.
Add my contacts to the TF3D tab
Add my cities to TF3D weather
Setup email account.

Usually check the performance (touch flo)

I load up xda-developers and check the raphael forum for new posts

install msvc, sync to mail2web for contacts and then blackberry connect... thats about it... i slowly configure settings on days when im bored until it's all good.

Restore PIM BACKUP files, so that the phone is ready again.
Then play with the programs and settings, and se responsiveness.
Then go to sleep.

Mobile Shell 3...can't live without it...Pandora. Good thread b/c I will be looking for interesting apps to install.

Soti Pocket Controller. I'm an old fart and don't like staring at the screen when I'm setting my phone up. Plus, once in a while I'll get someone that would rather text me 1,523 times instead of calling me, so being able to use the keyboard to type without having to use the stylus or flip out keyboard is nice.

Today plugin, tasks on homescreen?

Hi!
I've been searching the net for a way to get my tasks on my homescreen, but I'm not able to find a way to do it! I wonder if it's possible to edit the homescreen and add the tasks (only as plain-text, like : 6 undone tasks, and a link to the tasks). Hoping for some help on this!
best regards K

Sliding Panels or classic Home?

works with the built-in tasklist! now i've just got to find out how to put it on my homescreen! thanks man!

Enabling some HTC/TouchFLO features only

Hi,
I've been using my HTC Touch2 for a while now.
I decided to turn of the TouchFLO homescreen as it seems to use a lot of my free memory. I use a customized (used Home Screen Customizer - free from the marketplace) , default WM6.5 home screen now. It makes it faster ^^
The indicator raised from 45% to 70% in a day with all apps closed...
But TouchFLO also had a nice additional feature - all 'dropdown menu's ' or whatever you'd call it on a phone became way more touch friendly. (Those that open when holding your finger in file explorer for example, or when you click file in pocket word)
Is there a way to enable these menu's without enabling touchFLO?
I also prefer the HTC settings panels, that were only accessible from the TouchFLO home screen. I already found the sound settings (htcsoundsettings.exe) but I wonder if anyone knows more .exe files - for selecting backgrounds etc. Or a list of all files in the windows folder by default - it takes ages to load, when sorting is accidently set to 'File type' it takes like 15 minutes sometimes...
Also I'd like to add links to the settings menu of the start menu but so far I've only been able to add icons to the start menu or other subfolders and not the settings one
Thanks in advance,
JSO

Have you tried M2DCustomizer? If you mean saving up battery u might wana try custom roms

No, thank you for the link I'm sure it will help me.
But it didn't really help me out with my question - can I keep just the dropdown menu's without anabling TouchFLO/Manila2D from the Home Screen settings...

Hello, having read your message hope I understand well. You want a combination of features but foremost a lot of free Ram. Touch flow takes if I am correct 8-12Mb which your device should be able to handle.
This tweak will help you with Ram consumption aswell as regular soft reset or Ram cleaner.....several available on XDA.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ResProxy\ShareMemS ize=0 (Increase free memory)
I agree with member Deepak that choosing a custom Rom offers best of both worlds. But also here you have to make the choice Touch flow or not.....having only parts is not possible (unless built in Rom).

Thanks all for your effort, but I think I finally found something:
/showthread.php?t=540922 (can't post link because my account is not approved )
This allows me to disable touchFLO while still using the nice menu's; downloading right now

Yeah, used this on my previous Rom (WM 6.1) aswell. Was not happy with the result since it did not work flawless.....dissappear after soft reset, not working with some programs etc.
But see if it works for you. Success.
