I was wondering if it is possible to put the HTC Home screen as a plugin for SPB Mobile Shell. I was wondering if the HTC Home could be put in a programs folder?

Yep, it's possible - did it myself a while back by editing the registry as follows:
HKLM > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Today > Items > HTC Home
Change Type from '5' to '4' and it will show up as an available plugin.
Nice, I was looking for this for a while and I finally discovered the solution.

Hello,
this is my first post here *yippi*
Thank you for that very nice tip.
It works fine on my mda vario III.
Nice.... Good Job. It's work
Another option is to also use Ultimate Launcher, it allows placing multiple today plugins as separate tabs. You could then use both HTC Home, Shell or any other plug ins.

Since I'm using Kaiser, I'm just going to put this under Kaiser General. Feel free to move where it is appropriate.
I would like to be able to change the item that appears on the Today screen. When HTC home or Spb mobile Shell is installed, they won't let any other item go above them, like a different time plug-in or any other software.
I was wondering if there is a solution to that.
TIA
Only plugins that can override the HTC home plugins top setting.

How about SPB Mobile Shell? Is there a way I can add an item beside HTC Home above the SPB Mobile Shell?

I've been running Ultimatelaunch for about a month (unregistered) with no stability issues.
Try searching here. They have answered a lot of questions. If you don't find it then post. They are pretty good about getting you an answer.
no issue for me I use it with SPB mobile shell , pocket plus, pocket weather, rltoday
Do not put today plugins inside UL and on the today screen at the same time .... that causes me problems

Yeah, make sure all today plugins that you want INSIDE the Ultimate Launch are UNCHECKED to be on your Today Screen.

I am using PhoneAlarm on the Today Screen and the following inside of Ultimate Launch
Weather Panel
Battery Status
Today Agenda
Seems to work with one exception.
If I go to Mail, open the keyboard (Rotate Screen) then go to the today screen and close the keyboard, INSTANT LOCKUP. If I stay in mail, and go back to the closed position, I am fine.... Otherwise seems to be working.
i have been having problems too... since i installed UL my user interface has been extremely lagging. and i have tried all kinds of ways to get it working perfectly like how everyone says it works.
a lot of people says it works perfectly with out anything, but wheni have it installed it laggs up unbelievably...
i even have to put a back up until the latest time in order to get everything working.
hi,
i´m using ul for 2 month now and everything works fine! i use todayagenda and htc home inside ul and the wireless today plugin above and my mailprogram (tobit david) among ul.

To device memory of course!
Never install Today Plugins to your Storage Card, that can cause problems!
Hi there guys,
been searching if anybody had the following problem, then i stumbled on this thread, where somebody might be able to help me.
I had a qtek 9100 before with ultimatelaunch, with today plugins in ultimatelaunch. This worked perfectly, nothing wrong.
Recently, i purchased a Kaiser (to be precise, a T-mobile MDA Vario 3), on which i tried to run Ultimatelaunch. Everything works fine, except after i launched an application & go back to the today screen. When i run tomtom for example, and i go back to the today screen, the ultimatelaunch part is not automatically refreshed. If i just press in the area once, its redrawn. Does anybody have the same issue, or even better, a suggestion on how to solve it?
thnx in advance,
greetings hawkeye
out of curiosity what did you guys put in your UL, app wise?
My system backs up nightly and I soft reset after every backup. I believe this eliminates many issues with my system.

does anyone find that activating the htc home screen on start up cause problems? or better yet does anyone have any tabs that they activate on start up?

HTC Home works fine for me.
All my tabs (just three), have activate on startup enabled.

Problem is that HHC check if HTC Home Plugin is enabled at startup.
Because it thinks it's not, it starts HHC. After making changes, it will try to copy changed file's to HTC Home directory. Because HTC Home is loaded into Ultimate Launch that will fail, and make Ultimate Launch crash!
Best for you to do is, disable Ultimate Launch on your today screen, start HHC and make changes to plugin, then after applying re-enable Ultimate Launch. (Uncheck HTC Home, it's auto enabled trough HHC.)
That should work for you.

When I was testing HTC Home with UL, that's the same thing I did.
The touch 3D works great for me, BUT it removes all my other today plugins, which I most definitely need.
Is there any way to combine the touch 3D, and still having access to the std today plugins?
Amir.
I have the same question- does anyone have any answers to this ? For example , I want to have the RSS feeds in my home screen along with TFLO3D ? is it possible?
use ultimate launch to place touchflo3d on first page and the other plugins on the next page. you can size one page to fit the whole screen so that you can switch between whole pages with your thumb or with a click, like you want
greets, pucki
ps: if you prefer freeware you can use battery status, it can include today plugins as well but you have to create a personal theme on a xml-base. i made it for nike and elf, it should work on diamond also. i'm going to use batterystatus too on the diamond, but we germans has to wait until t-mobile sells the device on july 14th. if you can wait so long i will give you my theme
Can't get ultimate launch to work. When I activate the first screen, my todayscreen stays blanc.
The Ultimate launch is than removed from the todayscreen.
Can you explain what I have to do to make my own xml file fot batterystatus?
Thanx

just had the same idea, ul didn't work at all
hopefully there will be a new ul version with diamond support
tf3d is so nice, i wish i could remove the internet tab and replace it with batterystatus instead!
Guys try this program http://www.chi-tai.info/download/SecondToday.zip and do this:
Copy SecondToday.exe to your desired location, e.g. \Program Files\SecondTody\SecondToday.exe and start the application
and then just copy the program again to windows start menu, and then add it to program list in the htc touch flo. then when ever you want it just click it.
Until now this is the best way to fix it
I went to their site I didn't understand anything. What does SecondToday do? I can get something from its name, but how does it actually work?
Direct download is impossible: go here: http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm
basically what it does is that it is a program that opens the today screen without touch flo

Thank you for making that clear. Can you return to TouchFlo afterwards?
is it possible to run this second today - thing in autostart without interfering with touch3d?sometimes it does not open when i execute it...
i need to keep an eye on my calltimes and umts-data because both is limited due my contract and the only tool that handles both is (as far as i know) battery status...correct me if i'm wrong. gprs counter is bundled with my diamond but it isn't able to count call times...
edit: just tested it and second today always gets closed (or crashes) when touchflo3d is enabled...i can add plugins to 2nd today but when i switch back to touchflo3d second today not listed in taskmanager anymore after a couple of seconds.
Hi,
did anyone find a solution to make BatteryStatus run in Background in combination with TF3D or TF2D??
I also need that app but just for the dynamically OC-Freature....

I use a program called Ariel Battery and disabled the default battery icon. Put Ariel Battery in your startup folder, you can modify color schemes, it's small and even shows you the %.

hello everyone,
I just tried some profile applications like spb phone suite, the problem is that the only way to switch profiles is deactivating TouchFLO interface.
I think there should be a simple application that you might select different profiles, maybe tapping the same icon where you can see current running applications, or simply by putting some shortcut in the start menu.
any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem. I've resolved using second today (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401907). I've installed spb phone suite as plugin in second today and remapped the left soft key of TFL3D to open 2nd today (as mentioned in the post I've linked). It works very well without any problem. Only two taps and you have the profile you want .
My rom is 1.37 from HTC italian language
Thanks! i'll try it
I haven't posted much as I mainly read other threads and my questions are answered. I just got at touch pro. I have found that I like the TF3D better than I like the SPB Mobile Shell 3 I had on my mogul. I have downloaded the TF3D Config and was able to change my themes. Thanks to those who worked on that. I was wondering if there was a customizer program that would let you add "widgets" on some of the tabs? I would like to have a battery indicator on the the tabs. I can put on the today screen but I don't see it unless I exit out of TF3D and the at the top of the taskbar is not that great.

Yes, it should be possible but will require writing some lua code to make it into a panel. If your not familiar with lua programming, I would suggest using ManilaTodayPage, which gives you a new tab for using as the standard windows today screen. There are a few today plugins that won't show up in it, but most work great. Since you mentioned you already had a today alternative, then you should be able to use that in the new MTP tab in tf3d. MTP is in diamond forum, develpment by blezalex.
