Problem after installing HTC home Customiser

Hello everyone, i asked this question in the 'post your today screen' thread but got no answer so will try asking here:
I recently installed the htc home customiser and changed a few things around and generally had a play with it to see what i could create from my today screen. I then decided i was happy with how the original htc one looked so i changed it back. Unfortunately i have a slight problem.
Originally, under the htc home section i had tasks, appointments, tomtom, etc etc showin up and there was a scroll bar on the right hand side that allowed me to scroll down the list, all while keeping htc home in the same position at the top. Now though, i have a scroll bar that extends all the way up the right hand side of the screen whereas before it only went as far as the bottom of htc home. It now covers up part of the date and the sound settings button. When i scroll down my list of shortcuts, it now also scrolls htc home also. (i hope my description makes sense)
It is very annoying and also makes my home screen look ugly. Does anyone know how i can get it back to how it used to be?
thanks very much in advance!

You can fix this by updasting the registry directly. There may be another way, but off the top of my head, I don't know.
Check your entries under the registry item: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items
Under there, you will see an entry for every Today plugin you have available in your Today settings window.
Select one and you see it has entries called:
- Enabled
- Flag
- Order
- Selectability
- Type
under each one.
- Enabled denotes if its checked for your Today screen (1 is on, 0 is off)
- Order denotes the sequence it is on the Today screen. The lower the number the higher on the screen, so usually, HTCHome is the lowest enabled since it at the top.
- Type denotes whether it is one that is "movable" or not.
Type is the one that you need to modify. Type can be 0 (moveable) or 5 (non-movable). Type 0 ones can be moved up and down in the Today settings screen, where as Type 5 ones cannot.
The issue is that if the Today screen content is too much to fit on the screen, it auto adds the scroll bar. BUT it will only make the part of the screen occupied by movable activated plugins scrollable.
Before you customized, it HTCHome was likely a Type 5, and it was Order 1 (or something low since its at top). And all others were Type 0. Thus the scrollable section DIDNT include the HTC Home. Somehow, your HTCHome type is now 0, so it is scrolling along with everything else.
Hope this helps. Of course, manually modifying the registry has inherent danges, so be careful, and I take no responsibility if you mess up (disclaimer ).
This might be configurable and modifiable via HTC HOME Customizer app itself, but not sure...I just know the above is how I would fix it if I needed to.

Cheers for that mate, i will have a look tomorrow and see if i can sort it out.

in the home customizer go to the "options" tab and check "Lock plugin on the today screen" ... this will solve your problem!

Today screen keeps scrolling up
I don't know if this is the right post to ask, but you guys seemed pretty knowledgeable about today screen...
What happens is that whenever I scroll down (with the scroll bar) my today screen, it keeps scrolling back up to beginning screen automatically.
Only way to avoid this is to scroll all the way to the bottom and then it stops there. Then I can scroll up to see my today plugins which are in the middle (e.g. if you can scroll 4 times down - 4 screens of plugins - and I want to see my plugins which are 1 screen down the initial today screen, I have to tap all the way down and then tap up 2 times to see the plugins I should have seen tapping just 1 time).
This is so annoying. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

This is for mbernstein:
You hijacked the thread but since the op had his issue resolved I can offer you just a little input. I had the same problem you mention. It started after I installed a few SPB programs. I'm not sure if it was the Pocket Plus, Mobile Shell, or something else but it was definately an SPB proggie. Once I uninstalled the programs the issue went away. I'm disappointed because they are good softwares.

Thanks. This should be the case. But it is a shame as Spb softs are quite good (otherwise).

Yes, I unchecked SPB today plugins and it took a long time (right one) for the screen to go "home". thanks.

No today screen

Hello,
I bought Kaiser in Poland and got it with a different today screen. What do I have to install to have that black today screen that you all have with weather forecast? I have already installed HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.5Tab.schen.cab but it didn't do anything. I don't see any new programs or new settings.

I suggest to install another ROM on your kaiser. But it's a bit tricky to do it. If you do it wrong, you'll mess up your phone.

OK, so it's not an application like Spb Mobile Shell? Installing cab files won't do anything, right?

Did you enable htc home after instaling it? Go to settings, personal, today. From there goto the "items" tab and put a check mark next to htc home.
Cheers

What is that today plugin you are using called?

I didn't know about these settings. I have two new entries: HTC Home and HTCHomeplug and when I enabled the second one I have four new icons on the today screen standing at the top left corner: battery, rotating screen, vibrations and brightness. It is not what I want but it is some success

I think Orange. When I disabled it the icons on the left disappeared.

Manila and TodayAgenda

Is it possible to view TodayAgenda on an extra side in the manila TouchFlo3d.
For example: With UltimateLaunch it is Possible to build in the TodayAgend Plugin.

I'm hoping for the same thing myself. I'm so used to having Todayagenda on my screen it ws one of my most usful apps to have.

How about Second Today?
I mapped the left soft button in the home screen to show Second Today. There I installed all the plugins I want (e.g. TodayAgenda, Battery Status, profile switcher). The right softbutton in Second Today is mapped to the HTC Action Screen, the left one quits Second Today (which is barely useful as TodayAgenda takes some time to collect all the calendar items on the first start, so it's better to simply use the "ok" in the upper right corner).

yeah, thats what i did too, great add-on

TouchFLO 3D problem

I'm HTC Touch diamond holder and i have one problem. When i swipe left across the screen to move to the next tab, and swipe right across the screen to move to the previous tab the movement is not 3D.The program that i was install was only Skype and IGO8.I see the problem after installation.I have make hard reset of the device but the problem exist.Is there some hidden settings or something to do to come back the 3D effect(like rotation) when i browse trough tabs.Now the tabs(HOME to example and PEOPLE)just appear off and on without this 3D effect.Please Help me.

Could you post a screenshot? I don't understand exactly what you mean. Someone else does probably..

Look at the presentation of touchflo in official site.
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchdiamond/touchflo-3d.html
When you change the item from menu (e.g. Home screen to People screen), the change is 3D (home screen disappear with movement to the left and appear people screen from right....like circulating motion).I do not know how to explain how 3D menu works, but this is shown on the link that i post.In my case Home screen just disapear ....not to left.
Sory for my english.
The slide show for separate items in touchflo menu is 3D(not for me). I put one wallpaper and that was my mistake.But after hard reset the problem remains. My ROM version is 1.93.4****

"It's becouse of the TF3D version.
Try this one, it will be a little slower but you will have the 3d thing "
I have the old TF3D version, but the opload won't work...
But thats what you need!!

Tank you very much. I thing the problem was from me with the software or wallpaper i use it.

It might be your ROM version as well.....
because in the 1.93 ROM, they removed the lag between the tabs and so the 3D effect.....the solution listed above should help you and take away your problem, but than it's a little bit laggy....
if you can live with that..allright
good luck

Task manager on the upper right corner missing

Somehow I have managed to get rid of the Task manager icon on the upper right corner Cant get it back Can anyone help Was quite handy in closing applications

What ROM do u use ?
If u're using ROMeOS² v1.40.1, u can find task manager here.
(In applications list)

Well I have standard issue english version. What is strange that before it was there and even when restarting then during touch flo startup I have the icon in the upper corner but then it just vanishes Thou have now used wk task and that works quite well also. Maybe it has something to do with the vertical scrollbar that I made wider. Thou why I can not see taskmanager in Home screen where there is now scrollbar.

Happens to me all the time... here is how to fix it.
Start->settings->task manager.
Buttons Tab at bottom.
Put a check mark in "Enable Quick Menu on Today Screen"

Thanks but unfortunately I have this checked and still no taskmanager on the corner. I have now got used to the Wk tasks that works quite fine but the solution intrests me principally. Why is it missing. Also on the home screen earlier the calendar showed upcoming appointments but not any more even I have somewhere checked the buttons for upcoming and so on appointments.
Strange Seems that I have messed up somewhere.

Do you by any chance use SPB Pocket Plus?

Dont know but at least dont remember seeing any program under that name SPB pocket plus.

same problem with task manager shortcut button
i have the same problem - basically i was messing around between the SE panels and SPB Home, finally settled for SPB home, but the task manager button doesn't appear despite checking the box in task manager settings.
i'm using the xperia x1, haven't messed with the winMo6.1 installation other than installing/uninstalling R3A panel manager and SPB home (and finally installing SPB home).

This is the Raphael aka HTC Touch Pro aka Fuze forums, not the Xperia X1.
Post this topic at the Xperia forum.
