Is there a way to add shortcuts to the O2 active screen?
Most poeple here have removed all the O2 active stuff because of the inherent instability it seems to cause.
If you get SPB Pocket Plus this allows you to add shortcuts to the today screen (the proper windows one) as well as battery indicators etc. Another program is Resco Explorer with the today plugin which does pretty much the same thing.
Hope this helps.

Ok, Ive looked around and havent seen any fixes or tips for this.. I have three battery icons on the top of my today screen (and yes I know about the KasierTweak setting but that doesnt fix it)... How can I get rid of the extra ones? Ive tried changing the registry for one but all that ended up doing was getting rid of one and moving all the other icons over.. however, the volume and phone icons ended up getting covered up... (see second screenshot)... Id like to stick with the battery icon on the far right, since it gives me a battery status when I click on it, not the battery settings...
looks like the one on the far left is the spb pocket plus one. Just go into the options for pocket plus and disable the checkbox for battery metrer... the other could be the system registry setting to display the battery instead of the clock (not simply the standard battery meter) you need to use advance config or kaiser tweek to disable this or just disply clock then turn off/on phone not soft reset (system sometimes does not keep the registry setting if you stylus reset).... see if this helps.
Please list all the Apps you have installed would be a good starting point. The above mentioned Spb Pocket Plus can be disabled as noted...
The SPB Pocket Plus was the 2nd from left icon... made that one a long slender one across the top...
KaiserTweak controls the one on the right (can make it a
battery or clock)... the registry edit (below) and power down/up instead of soft reset did the same thing as before... the other icons have been moved to the right but you cant see them... this only happens on the Today Screen, when I open an app, you can see the icons...
Nothing:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=0
the far left icon came from QuickMenu...
here are other apps Im using:
whatever was included with Alex's ROM
TomTom
Google Search, Maps
SPB Full Keyboard, Diary, Weather, Backup, Insight, Phone Suite, Pocket Plus
HTC Customizer
HTC Cube
S2U2
...the text above the tabs (e.g. carrier/date above the clock, "weather," "launcher," etc.) on the HTC home plugin? I'm hoping by doing so the plugin will slide up to the task bar and give me a little extra real estate on the home screen.
Thanks

Why don't you use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374751
Two possible solutions for more today screen space
Not exactly what you want but you could try these programs.
You can use pmc todayshrink to remove the soft key bar at the bottom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342837
Or you could try ultimate launcher to make as many different Today Screens as you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366796
Thanks. Both are great suggestions and probably workable alternatives to what I had in mind. And b/c I obviously didn't do a good enough job explaining it, here's a screen cap that shows what I'm trying to remove...
Thanks again for replying.

Does anyone have a tweak for this? Kaisertweak didn't remove this for me unfortunately...
Are you running with or without the AT&T BloatWare?
I've removed the Bloat and I don't have that AT&T bar listed.
I'm running SPB Time, HTCHomePlug, Messaging, Calendar, and Tasks on my Today screen.
Date, OZIM_Plugin, Device Lock, Wireless, Music Plugin, and Owner Info are turned off.
I am pretty new to Touchflo and am wondering who is using (and enjoying) touchflo, and who still uses HTC home. I remembered reading somewhere that some people uninstalled touchflo and kept with HTC home. I want to see everyone is doing before i get fully on board. Also, if you use another option I didn't list, put in a comment and i can add it to the poll.
While we are on the subject what HTC Home VGA does everyone use? I have tried the PJ HTC Home VGA but has issues with weather...
Damned!
It's hard to live without the touch flo !
We expected it for a long time .....
Its really cute but less productive ....... not unfortunatly as deep thinked than the iphone UI (if we need an exemple)
BTW i can't live without ! everytime i put it off my raph feels naked !
Once i got my hand on SPB Shell, Everything is faster and easier to access. No look back to TF3D here. The interface of spb shell is just beautiful and straight forward. I can run both lunchers side by side but I don't see the need. Fuze's battery life is very good on spb shell tho some reports said it drained battery life especially when run together with TF3D. Well.. my battery last almost 2 days with moderate use with spb shell ( with advanced config max power saver setting and manually switch between 3G and GRPS when needed. So, No compliant at all. )
Just did quite tough battery life test today. Talked on the phone for more than an hr. Missed a few calls. Did some text messaging and checked voice mails. Heavily surf on net using 3G and GRPS. Turn on and off different applications especially the browers/ calenda/ games/ online games... let data connection stay on... 25% left after about a 9-10 hrs day.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm using HTC Home, the one I'm using though is a custom one...I combined two installs that were originally seperate and changed the default clock to one I converted to VGA.
another for for HTC Home.. just enough info at your fingertips and doesn't make the phone drag a$$
Was running everything out of phoneAlarm using a full-screen skin that gave me access to literally everything I need from speed dial with photos to weather, app shortcuts, profile control...
Changed to running SBSH Pcoket Breeze in no tabs mode on the bottom 2/3 of my today screen with a different phoneAlarm screen above. The no-tabs mode allows me to swipe the PocketBreeze area of the screen to change to different tabs. The attached screen capture shows my schedule for the next several days with the weather forecasts for those days (colors indicate appointment category).
im too using htc home inside ultimate launcher everything just fine. just have to chang icon size in ultimate laucher to 98 or so
i've tried everything.. mobilematt fuzzberry, dirty wrap etc.. but disable TF3D and running spb pocket plus are still the best for me.. i packed it with pocketbreeze to maximize my appointments schedule.. the spb pp has everything.. batt indicator, shortcuts on Today with multi-tabs (categories) memory status, backlight adjustment, soft-reset... everythiingggg is on Today screen
with 2 taps, i can run any third-party programs i've installed including games, settings, silent mode, vibrate mode etc...
pocketbreeze is to manage my whole month schedule.. either meetings, site visits, dateline.. or family gathering events, birthdays, weddings,
no more touching and flowing.. LOL
HD port tf3d at the moment. But looking hard at the spb but hard to find good vga themes.
I actually don't use either. I use rlToday, which is a simple XML based homescreen.
Here is the version I made for the Samsung Epix.
The one I'm using now replaces the text below the clock with 4 big icons (SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and VM) with their respective counters.
So I still have the neat clock (not animated) and big buttons to get me to the needed app.
There is lots of room between the clock and the 4 bottom buttons... I was thinking of adding a Google Search bar or something... but I dunno.
I just like it because it is simple and displays what I need it to in an easy to read/access fashion.
What do you guys think the best homescreen plugin? im lookin for sumat like the manilla 3D but not as ram hungry,
do you guys have any other faves that you use instead of the touchflo?
I believe SPB Mobile Shell is very popular but I haven't actually tried it.
I went with SPB Pocket Plus instead, which is great for extending the today screen onto several different tabs, which you tap to select rather than slide. Each tab may contain any combination of other plugins, shortcuts and information icons. When used with SPB Phone Suite, Weather and Diary it becomes very handy indeed.
See the link in my sig for some screenshots of the layout I was using a couple of months ago...
WM 6.5 has its own home screen and if you like that, you dont have to install รก 3rd party home screen. That would save up the resources.
the best clock is pocket digital clock plugin

I'm testing SPB Mobile Shell now (before SPB Pocket Plus -> Touch Flo3d). Mobile Shell needs similar amount of RAM as Touch Flo - about 59-64% used RAM on my 1.93 stock HTC ROM Diamond. Of course Shell is more powerful and has many configurable widgets, but has some TF's imperfections to (like lack of tasks on today screen).
Pocket Plus is very good and stable application (it has some additional features like useful and comfortable task manager, IE extension, repeating reminders... ), but it feels a bit old (or 2D if you like )
If you're looking for something ready, i would try Point UI 2. It's really light, but still, has a lot of functions and is good looking.
But to me, the best is Homescreen ++ UI, but it's only worth it if you dedicate some time and write your own today plugin...for example, mine one has 5 independent sliding rows with all the stuff i want to see on my today. I use it combined with S2U2, so all my appointments and music playing i leave it to S2U2 and S2P. That keeps me with about 60 mb free with Lumos, Flipit, S2U2 and the homescreen enabled against about 40 mb (at best) with MAnilla.
For me Resco Contacts is very good.
It gives me a quick look of communications,Phone,SMS and E-mails and also easy access to contacts , phone history , sms, e-mails.
I think SPB Mobile Shell 3 is a good user interface but not good enough to replace Manilla Rhodium by XBMOD,cause it doesn't get in depth into the windows menus..For the ram thing,use a custom rom and you will find what you need...
I could add extra things to the MS Today screen, can I do the same for the Flo3D home screen? All I have is Call History and Calendar, can't I change this? I only seem to be able to change the tabs at the bottom a bit.
Has anyone found a way to insert other things (links,icons...) to the home screen? Or to take away the calendar/call history links?
Just turn off TF3D, it's a completely useless memory, battery and resource hog anyway. Then put TodayAgenda on your Today screen, it's the best thing since sliced bread. :O)
Any screenshot or preview for TodayAgenda?
Look for Manilla Today Page. It adds another tab to TF3D which functions as a virtual Today screen. This gives you all the beauty of TF3D plus alot of the Today screen functionality.
Sadly it doesn't support all Today screen plugins (I miss PocketPlus desperately), but it is an excellent 'best of both worlds' solution.
The other way is to try SecondTodayScreen. This does as it says and gives you a second Today screen so you can have TF3D running and still access another Today screen with all your plugins on it.
