Is there a program that allows the today screen plug in to be customized? Like instead of having a music player tab, could it be edited to a quick text list that will launch a text to said person? Or if there was a way to modify the quick call list to do texts instead, that would work.
also, is there a way to expand the number of contacts/programs another line or 2 to fit more contacts/programs?
I've been searching like a madman, but coming up empty handed.
nothing? that sucks.
There is HTC Home Customizer which has been mentioned and described in many threads in this forum. Please do a search for it, I don't have a url. It is free and very effective.
htc home customizer doesn't do anything you asked for.

Yeah, I'm a fan of HHC, but I'm looking for a program that can expand the slots on which fave people and programs are located on the tabs.

Folks,
Okay, I read the manual and searched and still can't find a way to customise the content of the HTC Home plugin. I don't mean the large, square HTC Home app that has tabs, just the little launcher bar.
I didn't realise I had this and the only reason I installed my SPB Pocket Plus app was for the launcher bar (most other things already covered by HTC software).
Thanks for any help on how I get my own links in there
Regards,
Gary.
Just an update (and a bump )
Holding the stylus in an empty part of the plugin results in nothing (no menu etc.)
Holding the stylus on an object in the plugin, ditto (it will just launch the link)
The links don't seem to be the same as the HTC Home box with the tabs etc.
Are the links stored in a special directory somwhere?
The manual doesn't even mention the plugin!
Frankly, it seems a bit lame not to allow users to easily config this plugin. As I said earlier, with the HTC features built in (e.g. full close on the "X"), I could really do without the extra processing baggage needed.
Regards,
Gary.

Thanks for bringing it up - no, nobody seems to know here (apparently, everyone prefers the big, square HTC Home applet but for me, it takes too much real estate).
I'd welcome any input - I'm still of the impression that there must be a directory with shortcuts in it somewhere but I can't find it.
Regards,
Gary.
I received my Orange Tytn 2 this afternoon and I love it
Only thing is I am missing the basic htc homescreen with the txt, weather and clock etc.
Is there a cab here that I could use to reinstall this back onto my phone
Thanks
This is what I want.

You have been around since April...you should know better! SEARCH This has been discussed to death and there are many CABs floating around.
I have been searching and will continue to search, I have already downloaded many cabs, changed reg settings and got my phone to what I want, just had problems finding that particular one
Dig deeper if THAT is the one you want. It is REALLY REALLY old so it will be buried in old threads. Nobody (for the most part) wants/uses the 3 tab home screen.
Its linked to in the sticky in this forum. Right at the top. Also it can be configured to have between 0 to 6 tabs at the bottom.
Home, Weather, Favorite Contacts, Music, Favorite Programs, Profiles(ringer vs vibrate)
Thanks for replying, did a google search and managed to get the htc homescreen from another site, works great
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.
Does anyone has a clue if we can remove the small mobile icon on the photo in the Favorite People? I notice this icon will show up if I have more than 1 number ties to the person.
just delete hh_people_16x16_device.png, hh_people_16x16_home.png and hh_people_16x16_working.png from your windows directory.
these are the small icons...
HAllo,
I have the same problem...i found these files in windows directory but the menu items "Delete" or "Cut" are disabled. What can i do? Thanks
petervbeck: Thanks but like Queenmercury I do not have the option to delete them. They are part of the ROM probably because I have a HTC TyTn II. Any program that I can use to remove unwanted ROM files?
xoxo
You can't delete because the files are in use by HTC Home.
Disable HTC Home in Settings -> Today and try again.
If it's still not working, try using TotalCommander to delete the files.
--> Sorry for wrong information: Solution see Post #10
I tried using Resco Explorer to delete. No luck. Error: Files are part of the ROM.
Let me make sure, on the HTC HOME screen you are trying to get rid of the "Contacts" tab (the one where you can assign phone numbers to little blocks)
I did it because I have an app called face contacts which works much better. lol
I just tried this and it works but you have to install a few other CAB files to get it to work.
go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308&highlight=home+customiser
Then follow the directions to install the HTC HOME CUSTOMIZER (HHC)
when you go to the set up on the bottom tabs in the HHC there is a tab for the HTC HOME "tabs"
It is there where you can add or take out specific tabs.
hopefully it works for you like it did me.
No, they just want to get rid of the little icon that attaches itself the the front of the contacts image when you assign a specific number, eg mobile instead of home.
I also tried disabling the home screen, deleted the icons with resco, but the icons were there again when I restarted the plugin.
Tried restarting device, and the files I got rid of were there again...
I have the opposite problem... I have the Favorite people tab checked so that it should be on my Today screen. No matter what I do, I can only get the today, weather,launcher, ringtones and musice tabs to show up. I would actually like the Favorite people tab on the today screen. I have the HHC program and have put contacts in, but still no tab showing up.
No favorite Contacts || Transparent HH_Device_Icons

Have you tried to delete this registry key already ?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial
it's not that hard to find when you do a quick search.... maybe next time....
To keii and Queenmercury:
The solution are transparent pics, see attachment.
Disable HTC Home and then replace the existing files with the attached files. Works fine on my Kaiser
I did a search but did not get any results. When I followed your link to quick search, there it was. Apparently I have not been searching the entire site, only Kaiser. Thanks... the fix did indeed work and I will use the quick search from now on!

Many thanks petervbeck for prompt response but it's still not working. I tried to replace the files with your transparent and it's telling me they are read-only file.
Is there a registry key I can edit to remove the picture?
Hi all
Is there any way that tasks can been shown on the home page with htc sense?
at the moment it only shows..
time, calendar and missed calls.
I want it to list tasks as well...
wm6.5 manilla 2.1
cheers vjc
Mmmm...
I asked the same question about a year ago and got absolutely no response from anyone. That was in the original Diamond forum. I guess nobody here is task orientated
It does seem strange to me though as this device is aimed at the high end business user... tasks & appointments would be no.1 on the list
I gave up trying to do this a while ago and just put a shortcut to tasks on my homescreen. Anyone with an idea, please come forward
**** didn't see this topic, got a same question.
I found out that your appointments will be show when you do not mark them for a whole day. This way you will also be able to see them in your lock screen.
Sorted
Do you want to know i've sort it out? Simply quit using sense! That way i've got my td2 working faster and can have calendar and task events and unread e-mails displayed on home screen. Plus, when i type a contact name and open it, in case i need to come back to the list, that name and other similar still selected. While with sense i'd had search from the beginning again. That was driving me mad! start/definitions/home settings/items/ unselect HTC sense and select date/calendar/messeges/tasks
Thx DLX but the questions still remains...
Is there any way that tasks can been shown on the home page with htc sense?
I'm interested too. But I think that question would be better put in the Windows software development forum, because if such a way to display tasks would exist, it would probably work for Touch Pro2, HD2 etc.. and not just for Diamond2. I am in desperate need of such usability.
my solution

My best solution so far was to install ThumbCal and have a quick launch button to it's Agenda view, where i can see all tasks and appointments in one page
Another option would be SecondToday+Stock Tasks Today plugin or any other caledar ap..
Added Tasks to Quick Links
Ive added Tasks to one of the quick link icons on the home screen, not ideal but the only way I could think easy acces it. Tasks.exe is in the windows directory, browse using a PC connected in activesync and create a short cut of it and put the shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory. You should then be able to add it to quick links from the programs list.
