Is there a way to add program shortcuts to the today screen on the tilt? I want to add opera mini and a couple more so I don't have to search for them.
Thanks
If your using HTC home then you could add them in there, or you could use wisbar which allows you to do loads of things with the today screen
wisbar
Where do I find this program?
there are lots of desktop launchers. Here's a few:
Wisbar
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/
iLauncher
http://ilauncher.en.softonic.com/pocket
or freeware cLauncher
http://home.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html
look for download link on above page
Mike
....and the list goes on....
There's the free "HTC Plus" utility - kinda like a cut down HTC Home - see this post for details.....(there may be a later version, best to do a further search to make sure it's compatible with whatever ROM you're running).
Then there's Ultimate Launch here (site is in German, but you can run it through Google translation) that gives you a tabbed display (a bit like cLaunch that Mike mentioned above), but it's skinnable, so you can make it fit with your theme/colour preferences.....
Keep watching, I'm sure more will be along in a minute
Mark.

Thanks everybody, now I have a lot to play with.

Can the 6 tabs be customized to 3 tabs assuming i don't want the Profile, Weather & one more i cannot remember the name. I know that if i installed the Kaiser theme on my Hermes, i can get into the registry to customize the number of tabs. Can this be done on the Kaiser? How?
Just need to know before buying the Kaiser
Check out this site mate: http://www.pocketemu.com
Download the Customiser app and you can choose what tabs you want... and do a lot more mods too
Thanx for the link. Downloaded the program and now just waiting to purchase the Kaiser tomorrow
Is there anyway i can customize it via the registry? I'll rather not install 3rd party softwares cos i fear it might slow the Kaiser down on it's responds
yes you can eliminate tabs thru the registry
the tabs can be removed/reordered in the today screen settings
(settings -> today -> htchome)
this is only on the 6 tab version.
As title really , i've had a WM2003 based PDA before and a couple of S60 mobiles in the past.
But this is my first PDA/Phone device.
I have the O2 version of the TYTN2 (XDA Stellar)
Can anyone reccomend me any essentials I should be looking at getting.
Looking for a decent web browser and any other Utilizes that are recommended
Also is there an easy way to switch between running apps without going back to the today screen first?
recommendation is to search + read the gweni
Hmm while its an interesting read most of it seems to be concerned around changing things in the Firmware/Rom.
There's a couple of useful things like a stopwatch/countdown timer listed but I didn't see anything that resembled a list of Recommended apps (ideally freeware)
I feel your pain. It's tough to find a list of recommended apps. I may actually put a list together this weekend. I got my Tilt about 2 weeks ago and I have my list of apps. Actually, I'll start:
Audio Player: HTC Audio Manager or Windows Media Player
Backup: Sprite Backup and PIM Backup
Calculator: I like the skin that comes with dutty's ROM
Camera: HTC Camera
Compression: PocketRAR or HTC ZIP
Config Tools: KaiserTweak and Schap's Advanced Config
Cube: Slither's Cube (I don't like the Cube much, but this one is pretty damn nice)
Dialer: DualTouch dialer
File Manager: Resco or Total Commander
IM: Palringo or IM+
Maps/GPS: Google Maps and/or Windows Live Search
Picture Album: HTC Album
Registry Editor: Regeditor
Screen Capture: pocket Screen
Start Menu Replacement: QuickMenu
Other:
HTC Action Screen
HTC Home
HTC Home Customizer (I like v1.0 and don't like v.1.05b)
HTC QuickGPS
HTC Comm Manager, 6 button, Schap's style
HTC SIM Manager
HTC Voice Recorder
HTC Field Status
Sipchange
Can't find a good one:
Battery monitor
Task manager
Media player (TCPMP is a popular one, but there are a lot of them)
Office - I keep using Pocket Outlook for Contacts, Email, Appointments, and all that other jazz. There are other apps out there like FingerFriendlyFriends but strangely I'm happy with Pocket Office.
Does this help?

Start with Kaiser tweaks. That will rid your phone of most annoyances. Read all info on Touch Flo, Touch Flo Cube, Htc Home Customizer. Read the Wiki here and on htcwiki.com. Everyone here needs different things from their phones. And different ways to access those things. Read read read, follow links. One search will take you to another search to another.
I got my Tilt in early Nov came accross this site shortly thereafter, read and listened and searched and did not have a need to ask a question until April, my first post. Lots of info here for the grasping. No offense to anyone here, but a list of all " apps " isn't necessarily a list of what you want or especially what you " need".
I'll add one more to this:
Voice Commands: Microsoft Voice Commander or Cyberon Voice Commander

hi all,
im searching for 2 applications ...
1. rss reader that works with htc home ...
i found rss hub but i dont get it to the home screen (its not in the list at settings/today)
i think it was duttys ROM - theres a rss reader on the home screen
2. think it was duttys ROM, too - im searching for the possibilty to get rid of some tabs from the htc home box ... in duttys ROM as i can remember its possible to disable tabs and the nice thing was that it was a tab in the settings / today area. i tried htc home customizer but thats to big ... id love to get this tab in settings again
thanks in advance ..

SPB is teh software used for the tabs i belive. Great program, that has some peripherals you can install also (spb diary).
Ill let someone else lecture you on searching the site before you post, simple questions.
App 1: RSS Hub
You can always find a lot of downloads in the following places:
P1Tater's space:http://www.4shared.com/dir/5967433/ce903350/sharing.html
AllTheWay's space: http://www.4shared.com/dir/5551593/20b4549a/sharing.html
Attached in this post is a CAB I found there. It should be the one you're refering to.
Might I suggest you take a look at SPB Insight? This RSS reader has a much more informative today-plugin, since it can display individual RSS feeds.
More info:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/insight/?en
App 2: HTC Home Customizer
I guess you're looking for HTC Home Customizer:
http://www.pocketemu.com/downloads18.html
Hope this helps...
I just wanted to compile a list of application you guys must have on your PDA?
I've done tweeking my rom and now looking for some solid applications to add to the phone..
List all applications you install once after a hard reset!
-Tomtom Navigator
Heh, just downloaded Dutty's Hybrid ROM with the full intention of flashing it (as I'm still using Schaps' 4.31). Then sat down and listed all the soft I have installed... and cried bloody tears.
So much stuff to reinstall, re-register, restore saves/bookmarks to! Yes, I know of UC, Sashimi, and stuff, but still... that's an awful lot.
K, here goes for anyone interested (in order of original installation/upgrade):
SKKV SK Tools
Mortscript
Weather Panel (+ Hourly Fix)
TaskManager ITA Big Buttons
S2U2
Finger-Friendly Friends
Ultimate Launch
HTC Home Customizer
RC Mod
Pocket Informant 8
Cyberon Voice Dialer
Batti
Mobipocket Reader
SPB Diary, Traveler, Finance, Wallet, Time
Resco Explorer, Audio Recorder, Photo Viewer, Radio
FDC Softkey Applet
VGAKEY keyboard
SRS_WOW_HD
Green Skin for Audio Manager
and about 20 games, mostly puzzle and RPG.
And, of course, iGo My Way 2006 Plus and AutoMapa, both navigation software.
To answer your original question: most of these are a must for me. Sorry, cannot be more specific.

That'd be very kind of you, thanks
Indeed the software-Wiki could use some updating, as, for example, it lists only a few of Resco and SPB progs, and relatively old ones at that.
SPB Traveler, for instance, (mostly) duplicates the functionalities of SPB Weather and Time while adding quite a few of its own.
SPB Wallet (and its many brothers, like eWallet, SplashID, or CodeWallet) is another killer app, as it saves the hassle of remembering oodles of passwords, codes, keys, combinations, sizes, URLs, account numbers... you name it.

It's a wiki so you can add things yourself. I just created it about 1-2 weeks ago so it hasn't been around that long. Hell, I wish the damn thing would get stickied but it doesn't look like it is.

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 %.
