Ok i just have a real quick stupid question about apps. I have a copy of SPB Pocket Plus http://spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/?en that I LOVE but i cant really stand there SPB Weather app. So i bought the app Fizz weather http://www.fizzsoftware.com/products/weather/weather.html
(which is awesome) but i dont really like it taking up my so much of my today screen, so i was thinking that the obvious solution, SPB Pocket Plus allows you to customise your tabs, would be to make a tab for Fizz Weather. Thats how it shows up with SPB Weather. Well I cant figure out how to do it and i thought that maybe sombody out there might be able to help me. Im relativily new to PDAs and i dont know much.
BTW i do not like Fizz Moniter so i dont think thats an option pluse it doesnt offer the tabs like SPB PP does
Thanks for any comment that might be made

so i got a t-mobile wing. my first smart phone. its amazing. anyways i have a few questions:
1. Where can i get a nice big digital clock today screen plugin? i see them on screen shots of peoples screens but i can't find any.
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
5. What is the best browser to use?
if you guys could help me that would be great. i have yet to find a forum about WM6 or the Wing that where people actually go to the site.
All of those and more are located within the forum in easy to find threads. The great thing about looking around the forum is you will find stuff out that you never even thought of. I would recommend reading and getting acquainted to the forums, its a much better way to learn than someone just linking you somewhere. And congrats on your new Wing.

this is HTC home plugin
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
HTC home plugin shows weather. if not try SPB Weather, SPB Traveler, SPB phone suite (the only ones I have experience with)
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
Go to Settings, Buttons to change the softkeys
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
In my opinion, no not really ... just be considerate of what you install on your phone and what executable files you run.
5. What is the best browser to use?
I haven't settled on one yet, but I use Mozilla's MINIMO and OPERA 8.X apart from IE.

Hope this helps
i guess my other post didn't show up? well every search results in HTC Home or TouchFlo.
i don't want all the stuff from HTC home, just the clock and simple weather, no tabs or any of that stuff. is there a way to have just the clock and/or weaher?
and thanks for your help
also, going to settings>buttons has no optinos for softkeys, only hardware keys.
opera mobile is a lot better, i like how you can scroll by dragging on the screen.
I do use Opera most of the time, I've just always been a big supporter of Mozilla stuff ... so I keep it around
I just wanted to give you a few options so you could try them out for yourself and see what you liked.
i havn't tried minimo because i heard it was slow and uses a lot of memory. is that true?
I am looking for an app launcher today plugin. It must be a today plugin because I want to install it inside ultimate launch. I am wanting something other than just the plain icons on a grid that ultimate launch allows you to do. I love the functionality of the programs such as itask but I don't like the iphone look.
Any suggestions?
battery status
SBSH ilauncher
I have tried SPB PocketPlus too, but that didn't play nice on my old HTC Universal so never bothered going past the trial period and haven't tried it on the Kaiser since ilauncher works so well.

This place has a very very very customizable today plugin that do pretty much anything you want and then some. go through their forums. It's easy to start, but I got soooo addicted to tinkering with it. try it, and if you like it, let me know what you end up with.
how about claunch? http://pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=808
Ok I am trying out SBSH iLauncher. Does anyone know how to put PocketBreeze inside one of the tabs?
why don't you just use the built-in one ????

Ideally I would like something like what Facade gave me on WM Standard.
I thought the SPB products would help me (I am using SPB Phone Suite, SPB Weather, and Pocket Plus) but they are still not really what I am looking for)
I want something that makes the best use of the T750's small screen.
Most importantly something that allows me to set the Exact way my appts are displayed on screen (how many, size, lines per appt, etc)
What are you guys using or what would you recommend?
I used facade wayyyy back when when I had WM standard, after I went to professional I started using Pocketbreeze, the SPB equivilent is called SPB Diary, although I use pocketbreeze because the SPB weather program is really flakey about getting your locations and you have to do alot of custom setup most the time and Pocketweather from the people that make pocketbreeze just works right out of the box, and integrates with pocketbreeze if you'd like.
I'm not really gettin used to touchflow yet and I'm checking out other options. So... Lets get down to business:
The things that bugs me in touchflow are:
1.the todayscreen not being able to show more calendarevents.
2. the sms screen, the whole layout really
3. The mediaplayer
4. The alarm, every aspect there as well
I know that there are substitute programs for most of these problems BUT as I have to go in and select the appropriate program I fail to see the advantage of Touchflow..
The things I love with Tf3d are its speed and beautiful graphics and they will be soarly missed if I would go with another shell.
Are there any other touchfriendly options?
What are the pros and cons with Spb mobile shell 2.0? Especially regarding these issues!
Yours sinceraly

Sorry but I think you're a bit lazy. Why don't you just download a trial of spb mobile shell and see for yourself?
To be fair, I think he wants opinions..
SPB Software always rates highly in my books, I used to use the Shell on my Hermes. My girlfriend used to hate it, as it restricts access to the main features of the phone unless you kill it off.
But I guess if you tweak it to how you want it, then you never need to access the back end of the phone, pretty much like the HTC one I guess.
SMS's are visible (at least the count) on the main screen, and link direct to the pocket outlook folder
Media player - There's non built in, so again it's just a link.
Urm, Alarm again is built in.. Unless you put SPB time on??
Guess its worth a try! There's plenty of support on their forums, and hundreds of themes for it
I'm no expert in these areas but can I install spb without uninstalling? (and loosing all the settings and so forth). Cause thats my main concern!
Lazy or not, thats what forums are there for in my opinion, to get input and help...

Ps
Thank you MikeSel
Yeah you can, there simply 'today' plugins so you can disable one, and enable the other.. Make an informed decision and then dump one if you like.. Or just keep both, and leave one disabled
Have fun, and give me a shout if you get stuck!
Nice, I'm on it, thanks for your help Mike!
Peace

i just recently installed SPB mobile on my diamond and i love it a lot more then TF3D. I thought TF3D was great at first, but it a shame it's not configurable even with TF3D advanced config etc installed. Only the very basic functionality is available. It does look very good though and maybe the future could hold great things for it. But for now and the near future SPB mobile is the winner for me
-it's better and more customizable
-it's got lot's of good plugins
-the latest version got guestures like touch flow
-runs smooth as silk
-great animation without slowdowns
-all of the functions are easy accessible
Tried spb 2.1 for a week, but changed back to tf3d.
For my use, tf3d its enough and mobile shell, is atm a bit slower than tf3d and i dont like the default look. And with a better looking vga skin its slower than the first versions of manila, so i stay with tf3d.
Hi,
I want to disable the touch flo 3d and i don`t know what applications to use for the today screen. Applications such as program launcher, different informations about the batery, network, memory, etc.
Sorry if this thing has been already asked somewhere else.
thanks
try having a look at Battery Status, there are a lot of skins available for it.
10x, but I also want programs to dispaly informations about the memory, wifi, program launcher, and progrmas like this, 10x for the batery post.
spbtoday, and there's loads of other today plugins, just google exactly what you want eg. windows mobile today program launcher and i guaruntee they'll come up
thanks for the info

Another vote for SPB, a combination of SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Mobile Shell is superb. Today bundles together a few other things as well.
Are you willing to pay for software as these aren't free?
Spb Programs....worth every penny
I am running Spb Pocket Plus, Diary, phone, traveller & time (with Spb Backup as well)
Totally ditched TF3D as its only to get the girls (and I already gotta girl )
u can get skins for BatteryStatus (believe the name has changed) which show all the info u want... there is a big post full of them somewhere (think it is under Development and Hacking section).
yes I see that spb programs are very cool and I`m willing to pay for them.
Thanks
