Your today-screen (only OTHERS than HTC's TF3D please!!!)

A lot of us don't like HTC's TF3D.
So do I...
Please don't discusse if you like or dislike TF3D. I want to see OTHER todayscreens here...
This is my today-screen now...
rlToday, SPB Weather, Today-agenda.
rlToday with direct links to alarms, agenda, emails, text-messages, missed calls, contacts, toggle ring/vibrate.

What did you do that with ?
Looks good mate !

I am guessing this is SPB shell 2.1...
Very nice...
Philippe

I would guess rlToday + TodayAgenda
edit: man, it's even posted above the screenshot.... ...it's late should go to bed...
@Marra2
You can probably find thos skins inside the forums of the programs mentioned above.

If you could now make the theme with that "flipp clock" like in touchflo, that would be awesome
Have you tried this?
http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php?topic=1654.150
or this?
http://www.actualitemobile.com/forum/index.php?topic=1654.150
If I feel to restricted with touchflo 3D, I might go with one of these two...
Especially that WM7 skin looks sexy... if you choose the HTC today screen backrounds and customize the menus a bit, this might come very close to touchflo (maybe)... but much more customizable.
I would suggest: Share your themes or tell us what you are running on your today screen (and how)!!!
P.S.:
Actually,... this is probably the closest as it can get to TocuhFlo ... Can someone with a touch diamond please try
P.P.S.: .... it is only for QVGA...

No way
I aint tryin nothing!!! The touch flo 3d is sweet, moves with a second lag but makes up for it the way it fades the screen images.
2. I've been themeing, skinning, hacking, moding, etc for a long time, and this is the first theme I can manage to enjoy from all aspects withought freezing, or screwing up. You'll see when you get yours. You wont skin it, I do how ever would like to customize the flow itself.
Get one.

I don't mind the TouchFLO myself - but it is a bit sluggish at times.
I've tried SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 but it wasn't as slick and needed a bit of configuration to get it as functional as the default touchflo. If I found a good theme for SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 that I liked (and works in VGA) I might be interested, but they all seem to be aimed at QVGA only or look average imho.

I am also getting rid of the 3d thingie,I think it is focused on looks more than usability,if I wanted that I would have bought an iphone and not a phone trying to like an iphone

I fully agree

I like the TouchFLO 3D alright. It isnt that bad. It is slow sometimes.
All I am waiting for is a "Home Customizer" so I can change the interface and most importantly reorder the tabs!!!

Yeah, I think TouchFlo3D is nice, and I will improve.
No offense, but I just don't see the point of getting a diamond if you are not going to use touchflow, considering it's price and all.

Don't think I'll be getting rid of TF3D anytime soon, but the Calendar is still dreadful.
Microsoft still only allows what, about two appointments in it's default plugin? And HTC have done the same with TF3D. There should at the very least be a Calendar tab in TF3D with an appearance similar to Today Agenda (simplified for the masses if necessary).
Never mind, I'm sure there's a way of getting PocketBreeze crowbarred in there somewhere...

+1, I've always used SPB PocketPlus instead of HTC Home but I like Touch Flo 3D, a few problems though :
1. Can only map programs from program page, not files/folders as with P+ - hopefully someone can figure that out. Would be nice to have several tabs too for different catefories of apps...
2. No battery bar at the top
3. I installed SPB P+ v4 but it messes up the close button even if this feature is not activated.

Yes, sign.
But for me first of all it would be nice if I could open Agenda One from TF3D, so this is TF3Ds primary calendar application.

and for god's sake u people, dont u understand english, NO DISCUSSION OF TOUCHFLO 3D, just SCREEN SHOTSSSSS:mad

Lool
Mine will have WAD2, with Vista skin, including full start menu, and stuff like that, then on another page PocketPlus 4 with SPB Diary and Weather integrated,and then if its possible TF3D on another page too. But the swiping action of WAD2 might **** up TF3D.
Rory

Here's mine:-

Nice, how did you do that ?
@rorydaredkign - WAD2 seems pretty advanced, you can have several today pages ?

yep, the current one has pages too, but you have to have a button on each page to go to the next, so tf3d wouldn't work on it because its fullscreen and therefore youd be stuck on that page. However, WAD2, which had its RC1 released yesterday lets you swipe to change page, so the TF3D problem is solved.
Its great really, and only $10

[APP]QuickCal - dedicated to HTC Diamond, Quick view to 6 calendar events!

Hi guys,
I've finally came up with a piece of software that will enable you to view up to 6 calendar events on one page. This software was done to counter the lack of calendar events shown on the first page of TouchFlo3D.
Updates: QuickCal v1.2
Fixes/improvements:
>Smaller filesize ~300kb
>Added Tasks page to show incomplete tasks
>Does not show "done" appointments from today
>Added quick menu to access pocketOutlook Calendar/Tasks
>Design change, to suit TF3D
>All in a *.cab installation package
Bugs/Glitches
>Uses up about 2MB+ memory while running
>Skips some full-day appointments
As for the problems stated above, I need you guys to evaluate for me. There were some full-day appointments that the app missed. These are really old recurring ones. When I create a new similar appointment, it works. I have no idea about this behavior, but I'm trying to find out.
As for the 2MB memory usage in the background, I'll need an expert on this. Don't know how to reduce this. It doesn't bother me though.
Here are the screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can download it from below!
Remember, do post your comments/bugs!
Thanks!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.1
Here's a screenshot:
The design has been matched to the Diamond's and is specifically coded for VGA devices only. It's been tested on the Diamond, of course
The Exit button does not close the app, but it minimises it. It's recommended to leave the software running in the background, so as to have quick access the next time you invoke it. The page will refresh each time you view it, so you're assured of latest appointments upfront.
Like I mentioned above, this app takes quite a while to load (abt 5secs++) if run fresh. It's my first PPC coding attempt, so perhaps it's not optimised yet
You can download the app below. Simple installation instructions are included. You'll need .Net CF. Tested on v3.5.
Lastly, it's a freeware ..and do post your comments.
Cheers!

Beautiful and very useful.
Could you make the Exit button match the phone buttons on the Diamond, please (the red gradient)?

Hi!
Nice job.
Request:
- Can apts made to be scrolled like other lists in Diamond? With my finger?
- Can we include Tasks/ToDo lists from Outlook Mobile? Eg: on another tab? I really miss this one!
- I guess there is no option to incorporate it into TF3D. No plugin structure...
Keep up!

I already have a matching Exit button, but the problem is, I can't get the rollOver effects done. The image does not change. (I have both ON/Off images), so after quite a while of trying, I decided to release it as such and work on it later on.

My goal is to make the app fade/scroll in like HTC's SIP selector... but that's kinda far-fech for a newbie PPC programmer like me. I'll pursue for answers in time to come.
Task lists? I might be able to get those on on another tab or something. I seldom use the task feature, so left that out for now.
TF3D seems to be 1 whole complete application with no external access for now. I wish it could be incorporated into TF3D
Experts, if U guys can help me out in the requests, it'll be good. Also, I wanna know how to optimize the code.
Thanks guys for the comments and keep'em coming!

Please note that the program's icon is not transparent, it has a black background...
I have to say I really like the program. Once the 3 remaining isuues are solved, it will be really great. As a reminder, these are:
Faster loading time
Matching red Exit button
Including ToDo's
Thank you for your effort
Oops! I see a bug. For some reason, I get appointments displayed, but NOT the next ones! It jumps quite a few. Could you please check that out? Make sure all day events don't cause you problems...

instead of that huge exit button (which makes you think your TD will explode when it's pressed), why not putting "exit" on the right side of "about" ?

Good job!! Thanks!!
Suggestions:
1. Show month and date. Now I only see the date.
2. Scroll bar perhaps?
3. Black background, for fitting the whole HTC Diamond outlook.
4. Intergrate into the TouchFlo 3D (perhaps too technical requested )?
A beautiful application!!

Could you help me identify what causes this? I've tried multiple all-day events, and they all seem to show with the start time of 12AM.

That's a great app, I don't get why there's no native way to see upcoming appointements in wm6 calendar, except by using normal today screen
One off-topic question :
What app do you use to have the open apps in the status bar like in your screenshot?

It's called WkTask. Great task manager.
You can view your calendar items on your default calendar, but there's no quick view to tell you what are your next x appointments.

Thank you, I just tried that task manager it's great, but I think I'll stay with the original one which is more simple

Did u use C# for this app?

Erm, I wouldn't advice replacing the WM6 calendar with this app. This app is just a viewer, nothing else. The WM6 calendar is the real thing which allow you to add/edit/del appointments.
If youre talking about changing the Calendar link on the TF3D screen to this app, I'm not sure how yet.

Don't worry. You have to make a choice.

Touch pro simple shell?

hello users!
my father has a touch Pro, but he is really struggeling with it. the touchflo 3D is just too difficult to even make a simple call. (you have to go to home menu and then click keypad or something)
is there a shell (like spb shell) where you have a simple menu with contact, call now, email, internet etc? so u can quickly see what to choose? i know spb shell but are there more of these kind of shells?
thanks in advance ^^

You could always disable touchflo 3d.

So pressing the "green" key is too complex?

green key brings up a list of people you called and have called you... does not bring up a keypad to simply call people for as far i can remember. for people who aren't in your adress book. i'll check it tomorrow. and disabling touchflo 3D doesn't really make stuff simpler, windows thing sucks big time!

What I do is use rlToday. rlToday is a today screen plugin that is completely customizable using XML code, which can be setup to look and display just about anything.
http://rotlaus-software.de/projects/rltoday/
Not everyone is XML savvy but luckily it supports themes from other users (which can be edited to your liking). I normally use Custom roms that exclude the default shell all together, or simply disable it in favor of rlToday.
There are TONS of user made skins ranging from various complexities. I favor simplistic approaches. My theme has a large digital clock toward the top, displays the date in a smaller bold font as well with the Carrier name when service is available. At the bottom I used a finger-friendly simple button graphic that is repeated 4 times along the bottom to act as quick shortcuts. The 4 graphics is SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and VM... each with a simple numeric counter that displays the amount of each. Each finger-friendly graphic acts as a shortcut to their respective programs.
Simply copy this folder into the rlToday install directory (\Program Files\rlToday\). Then on the main screen, tap and hold for a popup menu which has Options. There is a Skin tab which contains a dropdown box which should now list "Diamond". Selecting this and exiting the config app will show it now being displayed as the homescreen.
You can also customize my theme to include more buttons for such as your browser. The code is already in place, you would just have to copy the code for a button, duplicate it, and manipulate a few things such as the name displayed and the location of the program launched.

Pressing the Green key does bring up the dialer pad making it easy to make a call.

no it brings the keypad
now nobody claimed WM is the easiest thing to use
nobody forced anybody BUYING WM either
better get your father a (simple) Nokia

The green button brings up the number pad. From there you can start dialing a number or type a name using the keypad which will bring up the best matches.
I actually LOVE this feature. You really only need to press 2-3 buttons to get to any contact on your phone.
Anyway, it sounds like a Windows Media phone was a poor choice and may be a bit complex for your father. I still stand by my logic that using rlToday as a homescreen is the best choice as you can put exactly what your father requires.

More like a Jitterbug

To make a simple call, just press the 'send' key at the bottom left. . goes straight to a regular-ass keypad.
edit: sorry. . already mentioned earlier. . I don't have a 'green' key tho
....
F it!! Just get him a Jitterbug.
(I was looking for their theme song as a ring tone for my dad... but then my dad died so I have nobody to use that on)

The key isn't green! Its a white phone, not a green one.
Maybe the Sprint versions have a green phone button.

You bloody idiot, it is the sme damn button.

OK this whole thread needs closing.

It is white on Sprint and green on Verizon, not sure about GSM. Either way it does bring up the phone keypad.
It really is not all that complex, he just needs someone to explain some of the easy functions to him. If that is not good enough he really should not be using this device.

there is a learning curve on switching phones.
tf2d is similar to tf3d but a tiny bit simpler
spb products are somehwat easy but u need to pay
home 1 and home 2 is very simple and its free but u can pay for pro
he can even open the phone to the qwerty and type in who he wants to call and done
Good Luck

Sweeter Home!

Has anyone downloaded the free preview for this app? It looks awesome and has a user edit built in.
Finally a different home setup that really changes the interaction.

Yep - MASSIVE editing abilities. Great start and should hopefully get better. The app scrolling is faster than the standard Android home in my experience, no lag at all! Few force closes while editting here and there but mostly remembers what you edited when it relaunches. Calendar seems broken for me, only shows a handful of what appointments I actually have coming up. Still in Beta though so with improvements could be exceptional.

Tried it out last night, not really my cup of tea. I like Open Home much better. Also, it force closed on me countless times, untill it just got too annoying and I uninstalled.

OK this thing has some pretty great potential. I'm going to build some screens and upload screen shots later. EG, no need for folders, you can create a realtime scrolling tray and drag apps into it.

Good stuff so far. Shows a lot of potential. I think you should be able to span background wallpapers like in normal home, and not just the same image stretched for every pane. I think there also needs to be more controls over the layout options. Good start. I wish the other home alternatives had this kind of customization.

Maybe I'm just lazy or maybe it's that I've gotten used to using dxTop, but the layout of it is horrendous! I mean, I even think all the screens of aHome is better than that. Up, home, right, home, left, home, etc. I found it annoying within the first 5 minutes.

its not about UI right now
this has more potential than all the other home screen changing applications which mostly all they do is change icons...and added extra screens, this goes beyond it and makes your G1 efficient and business savy, recent calls, texts, etc all in front of the screen.. like yes it has UI problems, but the potential of ACTUAL customization is beyond these other applications, and they charge..
with their lite versions etc.
it has made the home page a personal thing, and isn't that what we all love, personalization.

For introductions, that's all it's about. I'm not talking about themes or anything else, but the layout is crap. The idea may be good and maybe if those tabs stayed on each screen so you don't have to constantly go back to the center to get anywhere it would be more efficient. But, as it stands if I'm not impressed by how it looks, I'm not even going to waste my time in testing it out...same as how I won't give a website a chance if it's appearance is lacking. First impressions are everything.

so im guessing, judge a book by its cover.
i agree with the UI being hideous.
but compared to ahome, dxtop and open home, all they're done is the same thing, a couple widgets, extra pages (that just move differently from each other) and changing icons. that's it..
yehs, sweeter home is not good to look at, its the ugly duckling right now, but with all its features and the developer open for suggestions and implementing things, it's far better than the other home applications.
i gave it a chance and tested the product out before making any ASSUMPTIONS and i like the features but not the UI, but everything is a work in progress and the developer actually went beyond just chaning major icons, adding an extra page and widgets like what OTHER HOME applications have already done.

I make no assumptions, merely observations. I don't like the UI and attraction is the first step to any partnership. I never said I wasn't willing to give it a shot later, you assumed that. I said as it is now, it sucks.
From my experience with dxTop, the UI works with the theme I have on my phone. There are no extra downloads or specifics that I have to implement. I'm not saying it's the best, but that's a lot better than any of the others are doing.

Tried it, a little too much for me.
I like it simple. Open Home for me.

Here's screen 1, 2 and 3 I've set up so far. Few bugs I've found (app TRAY has started duplicating the actual apps in it for every new tray added, not sure why)... anyway, looks pretty good and once more stability and features are released this will be my default home I think...
Left is SMS's with quick links to contact apps below.
Middle is (top) most used apps, (middle) all apps, (bottom) communication apps, (here's where I want more app trays but won't really work atm, I want a utils tray, games try, notes tray, and comms tray with all apps on a different screen).
Right is contact list.
--- Photobucket died right when I updated the images, stand by --

I think I figured out the tray duplication thing, just gotta test it. RENAME the trays! LOL.
EDIT: updated screen above. Got extra trays working - all scroll horizontally. Added labels to app trays and added labels to SMS and contacts list.
Next: "all" apps tray on the lower screen, and skin the calendar (even though it's broken) on the top screen...

I tried getting this app last night and a few times today but I keep getting "download unsecessful".

Can't find it man, I think I got it from http://g1wallz.com/ - or maybe in the wallpapers topic on here? I'll upload it later when I get time.

See, I cant find it in my market. Im assuming that Im having so much trouble with my market because I have an ADP Phone? I cannot purchase, Ahome or Open home (the paid versions dont show up)

i can't find it on market either- i did yesterday but it gave me download unsuccessful. since then i can't find it- maybe it has been taken off for fixing or something?

I tried backing it up with Astro but couldn't do it.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.sweeterhome.preview1 - Doesn't do it for you? There's a new version, I'm about to update.

reserved...my freiend

also this one too... ya never know...

nice~~looks really minimal and i like the blue =D

almost thought you had forgotten about lacuna from your other thread ..
so let me repost some feedback from the other thread and add feedback based on v2.0
clock:
next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
apps:
option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
also qould be quite cool, if we go with the sliding theme, if the apps page (faves and all programs) could be brought up by sliding the main screen up
friends:
favorites would be very good
text:
i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
when i get a new text message, i click on 'new texts' but it doesnt open anything, when i go swipe to the text page, my new text does not appear there either
mail:
im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
just on this, when i was the friends page, and i click on the 'text' it takes me to the 'mail' page, but then the theme doesnt respond anymore??
alternate home screen: YES PLS

the impementation of clicking the text or mail word... doesnt work... as you found out... that is going to be disabled... the screens already scroll super easy... not hard to go from one end to the other...
im working on making the apps page so you can drag it up... not there yet...
i havent configured the sms program chooser yet....
mail page works... im not sure to what extent... i didnt code it... lol...
i am glad u like the alt. home screen... i think its pretty smexy too
as always... thanks for your great feedback wil_dee

Ok Thanx! Great

Very nice simple and elegant, but have following questions:
Mail page does not show anything, i looked through all xml and found nowhere any mail settings.
Wouls also love the option to select to show only favorites contacts or to add some favorite peoples.
Same for favorite programs, maybe an additional page to add a few programs and settings shortcuts.
For me the best solution would be if i could replace the contact page by a shortcuts page, where i would place 5 shortcuts to subfolders for weather, internet, fav people, applications and settings (i already have them).

This theme is without HW acceleration? Or need acc. too
Good luck

no acceleration required

Hi,
can you help me with some questions:
If installing this .cab, does it
- Add a new Element to select from the Home screen setting
- Does it interffere with Sense / CHT
- Can it be uninstalled without damaging the installation?
Thanks
Gescha

I am assuming that you are referring to throttle launcher itself
it is not linked to or related to Sense or CHT it is a UI in its won right so you would have to choose and deslect whichever you wanted at any given time.
It can be install/uninstalled without effecting anything else

Well .. what can I say? This is the best theme so far. I'll stay tuned for updates. Thanks.

Really nice. Love the minimalistic look.

Awesome. Love it.

Super Easy
Trek, youve done it again! This is crazy smooth! It is very minimilistic, something I think an option to increase would be great.
what I mean is that instead of opening Apps, and the start menu, maybe a second 'fav apps' screen that opens another screen for just your favorite apps. This is where you program your icons, etc.
Yea, would love the mail to work, but love how responsive text app is.
Another option, I use text alot! Maybe be able to choose which is first slid to (text, mail, friends)
The ability to show weather would really be great, like shown on the first post. Not sure if there is something that I missed.
I do have the same issue with tapping 'text', it goes to 'mail', and then program freeze. Doesn't require a reset, just a reload theme, and its all back.
Lock screen is really touchy. I checked and saw that I had accelleration at 10, with friction at 1. Reversed accell to 1, friction to 3, that helped alot. just a hint to folks out there.
And finally, maybe a calender screen or setting as well?
Love it, super smooth, super simple, great job as always!

most of these things have either been addressed or been implemented ... i like the configurable text, friends, mail order idea... but unfortunately the system im using for making it so easlily scrollable .... this may not be possiblee... no wait.. yeah i can do that..!!! sorry!!!
the picture on th front post with the weather you are refering to is not yet.... but how it will look when i am done..
so you didnt miss anything
i am removing the lockscreen... will prolly make skins or themes for the windows default lockscreen and one for the oboe style...
calendar implementation is planned but still unsure how to incorporate...
tapping text goes to mail bug will be removed... was an attempt that did not work with the concept..
otherwise... glad you enjoy it... my main purpose is to keep it simple and smooth for all devices...
and be Daily driver Worthy... my only currently daily driver worthy one is my own modded version of the BBSTORM theme...
i thought about releasing since it is modded and junk... not technically original design... so i think i might but there is a few things i have to address first.... ill email ya if ya want to try it lol....
thanks for your feedback Jerry
