Creating a new tab in HTC Home Customizer? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

There are currently only 6 tab options to select from (Home, Weather, Launcher, Profiles, Music, And Contacts), and it would be great to add a phone tab/button cause the phone button is not in an ergonomic place.
Is it possible to create a phone tab to be used with HTC Home Customizer? Or better yet, is there a download with extra tabs that I can load into it?

Not likely to be able to add a new tab to the existing one. But this may be an addon that helps...

But IMO, not sure how either would be easier than hitting the green phone button on the phone.

I have seen this cab before but I couldn't figure out if there was any way to add my own buttons/substitute for what was already on there. Is it possible and I just missed it?
EDIT: Nevermind, just saw that I could. Thanks!

Does this cab exist????

I may be interested in displaying another home screen other than the HTC. I like several others but I really enjoy using the "quick" contact tab on the HTC home screen. I love being able to have several "quick contact" tabs to call my daily contacts etc..
Is there a stand alone cab (program) so that I can incorporate this feature into other home screens?
I even like the HTC Plus but it does away with this feature.

Not sure where I got it, but this cab works GREAT. You will 3 additional items in your Today Items list: Dial Tab 1, 2 and 3. Each can have 5 or 6 contacts on it.

I've used Ultimate Launch to integrate this into a custom "cube"-type app. Just added HTC Home as a tab and it appears like normal, but you can swipe it aside and open other sides of the cube. Works super fast. I also use WeatherPanel and TodayAgenda as tabs along with several other tabs filled with programs and such.
It is commercial software, but well worth it. FWIW.
I'm sure there are other options.

Got a screenshot?
Thanks I will give this a try.
Thanks this is close, but is there a way to assign a tab to these dial tabs so they won't take up so much screen space?? I guess what I am saying is not making it a plug-in on the today screen I guess.

HTC Home Plugin/Customizer

Is it possible to add tabs to the HTC Home Plugin. I don't use the Profiles tab so is there a way to make it a second tab for programs/games? Thanks

Hi dude
I think it isn't possible!I also tried to manually change in the registry the tab number with the same number you want to add, but i got two identical tabs with the same program shortcuts and if try to change one in a tab i have the same result in the other tab too!I tried with the contacts tab too, but with the same issue!!
Maybe someother know how to fix this, if possible!!

.... what???
Have already searched the forum but haven't found an answer yet
How can I customize/change the buttons in the HTC Home Plugin? I want to change the small buttons that call the battery screen, the backlight settings to the programs that I call/use most.
Also is there a way to make the weather channel update information using Wifi Only? I don't have a unlimited plan for my 3G downloads and I want the weather information to come only by wifi.
Thanks

Hello, is it possible to have some sort of shortcut program such as cLaunch(er) as an item within the HTC Home launcher tab? If so, then we could just go to the launcher tab and open up the secondary launcher. Just a thought, although I have no idea if this is possible or not.

Customize HTC Home?

Is it possible to customize HTC home that comes with WM6.1 for the Tilt upgrade that was just released? I have it installed and I like it, for the most part. However, I would really like to change the favorite contacts and the items in the launcher. However, when I hold my stylus on one of the contacts I don't want to see, it just starts dialing.
Is there a manual for the new software that I missed somewhere?

don't hold your stylus on one of the programs/contact you don't want to see, just click the last program/contact in the section, which should be an X
And this is why I need to play more than I did... Are there any other tweaks for the HTC Home? personally, I'm not liking the amount of real estate it takes on the screen... 2/3 of it in portrait and all but 1-2 lines in landscape is a little much.
I like the functionality of it, but would really like to find ways to make it look better/different if that is possible.

Nope. Its pretty much fixed size. You can get emunutz's HTC Home Customiser to chage the clock font, icons etc. But as for size... its fixed. The only way is to recreate something similar using apps/plugins like batterystatus
Any idea how to remove the "Weather" tab? I never use it and want to get rid of it.

Yerp, Use emunutz HTC home customiser and take it off the active tabs list.

Task Tab in TF3D - Programmer Needed

I know that I would donate $10 to someone who can take the time to figure this out. It has to be possible to add a Tasks tab to the TF3D interface.
I don't want to have to switch to second today or anything like that - fully integrated! A clean and simple list of tasks maybe with an "X" delete button on the right side of each task.
I know people say it's impossible, but with some time I'm sure it can be done.
If you would like this too and would be willing to donate some - just leave a post saying so - maybe someone will be enticed to collect such a prize enough to figure it out!
If you do figure it out and post a reply - you're my hero and please set up a thread for donations!
edit: By tasks I mean things you have to do in real life - NOT a list of running programs - linked in to the 'Tasks' program that's a part of outlook...
yeah, someone help!!! it a obviously new tab, everyone need that!
Manila Control?
I know it's not the answer you're looking for but have you taken a look at Manila Control?
It allows you to use your regular today screen (with plugins). It's somewhat like Second Today however I always had problems with it running. I've been using this since its release and haven't had any trouble whatsoever.
Manila Control
It's something for now until the XDA gurus can figure out a way to create a tasks tab.
count me in for a donation
I'll be willing to contribute to a tasks tab!
I'll donate too, 10-20 dollar if you can make something like alt-tab in windows for the touch pro, maybe use the capacitive touch(multitouch) for the alt tab, and when i slide my finger across that, i can select the program.

I'm not sure I understand but a programs tab is already out there (like when you go into the original programs tab and hit the all programs button)
I'll donate 10$ as well

What I want is the ability to quickly switch between all the program I have running. If i'm using opera and have say, media player running in the background, right now, I have to go to "Home", than use the HTC Task Manager to switch to media player.
If there is an easier way, that'll be great, but I have been doing it that way all this time.
Hahahaha... I cancel my donation - I was thinking about "tasks" as "things to do", not "running programms"
Ok - let me clear things up since I started the thing
I want a task tab as in 'things to do'
Like linked to the 'Tasks' program
You kno - that program that's a part of outlook.
NOT something to show running programs!
To me that just sounds excessive...

try "task facade"
I have a fuze, so I set the ptt button, but you can set the long-send key as it, and it'll do a x1 style overview of windows
I have a question about the tad too, I've seen nice interfaces with a calendar tab, for whatever reason my ATT Fuze didn't come with a calendar tab, you can click calendar from the home page but it brings up the default calendar instead of the pretty calendar I've seen in other screen shots, is there maybe a cab out there to install but he calendar tab to my stock Fuze TF3D?
Thanks!!
Heres a screenshot of what I'm missing (note mines not a black theme its the default ATT Fuze gray theme)

$10*
Put me down for $10 provided that it is a tab, not a SecondToday kind of thing, and that the task display is a la TodayAdenda not just the original MS today tasks plug in.
Weird that this hasn't been done already considering how many people want it as, though I am not a programmer, it doesn't seem like it is that complicated a modification given some of the other things XDA folk have produced.
bump...............
OK, since it's for the "things to do" tab, I'll pay 10 bucks for it eventually
This is my most awaited feature. Not having easy access to tasks is a huge inconvenience. I do not understand why this was not a default tab...
Has there been a solution to this problem yet?
no... Just wishful thinking I guess...
$100 anyone???? (sarcasm btw)
I am pretty sure you cant do this from xml editing alone. I think you would need the source code for tf3d. I could add the function in the source code and then edit xml. Does any one have tf3d reversed engineered or is the source code released?

Replace Calendar with Call History on Home Tab

I'm looking for a way to replace the calendar link on the home tab with a call history link (that also shows missed calls when you have them). I had previously installed cookie's home tab, and I really liked that feature, but it was the only feature I needed. Since cookie's home tab was running a bit sluggish on my phone, I uninstalled it.
Is there a way to get the call history button without installing cookie's home tab. I searched the forums, but couldn't find any cabs.

There are only 2 Home Tab tweaks that I'm aware of, the other is Max Manila.
There is no other way unless you learn all of the scripting for manila.
