I am no looking for the HTC homeplugin, but the one that comes on the att rom with the batter percent remaining, screen rotate...it has a bout 5 shortcuts in one row of today screen items.
thanks...i searched a lot
HTC Homeplug
Hello eskimochaos,
By the sound of your description, I think you mean you want the HTC Homeplug. If I recall, it has links to the Comm manager, Power Settings (which shows the battery level as a link to it), Screen Brightness, Screen Orientation, and Create New SMS. It takes up only one row of the today screen, and is not to be confused with HTC Home. Is this what you're looking for?

Exactly, not the one that takes up the entire today screen with the huge clock, the one that takes on line (same size as message today item) with screen brightness, rotate screen, new sms, battery percent etc.
Thanks Dave
Do you have a link/cab?
HTC Homeplug, Kind of...
Hello eskimochaos,
After a while of searching, this is the best I could find. It is identical to the original Homeplug, but with two key differences. First, at least on my device, there is a battery icon with a question mark through it that rotates the screen instead of the regular picture of the device, but this is only when it is in portrait mode. The second difference is that instead of the new sms link, a link to internet explorer is shown, and when clicked, shows "messaging_sms_new", and can not find the page. Other than that, it works as normal. I will try to see if I can find a better one, but until then, this will have to do. Thanks to Patr!k for originally posting this at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533.

I'm in the midst of getting my tilt to be just where i want it to be, custom speaking.
I need help finding the following.
1)Is there a free weather program that I can run, that does NOT sit in my today screen, that will show me radar and dopler maps of weather for my (city/zip code/etc)? I know I can pull up a site in a browser, but i want this. Also, preferably one that can sit in the background and keep updating. and one that might show a movie clip or animated gif so it moves
2)Is there a free add-on for PIE that adds a "find" function and also tabs. With the tabs, I'd prefer one that doesnt add a huge thing at the bottom to click between, as browser space is already limited.
3)I'm running Rhino battery status on my today. and I love it. But i'm 1-2 pixels short so now I get scroll buttons. Is there a thinner battery status, or better yet, for the HTC Home buttons that already shows the battery meter, is there a way to turn that into a % instead of the ||||| graphic?
4)Does anyone know of a free lnk editor? smart.lnk wont install. at least the versions that I tried. total commanders lnk creation is clunky at best.
thanks!
for the weather you may like this one.....

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.
It's been awhile since I played around with the software tweaks that I put onto the phone but one of the ones I installed I think came through the kaisertweak. On my today screen I have a mini bar of icons for different programs such as the battery meter, open a new text message, screen rotator, and a call history icon. Is there a way for me to change those icons? The call history is the one that bugs me the most. I want to change it from call history to something that opens the phone screen. I find it rather difficult to initiate a call without having to go through contacts first. The only other way I know to do it is to use the start button, but it would be nice to open the phone screen right from the today screen.
I could add extra things to the MS Today screen, can I do the same for the Flo3D home screen? All I have is Call History and Calendar, can't I change this? I only seem to be able to change the tabs at the bottom a bit.
Has anyone found a way to insert other things (links,icons...) to the home screen? Or to take away the calendar/call history links?
Just turn off TF3D, it's a completely useless memory, battery and resource hog anyway. Then put TodayAgenda on your Today screen, it's the best thing since sliced bread. :O)
Any screenshot or preview for TodayAgenda?
Look for Manilla Today Page. It adds another tab to TF3D which functions as a virtual Today screen. This gives you all the beauty of TF3D plus alot of the Today screen functionality.
Sadly it doesn't support all Today screen plugins (I miss PocketPlus desperately), but it is an excellent 'best of both worlds' solution.
The other way is to try SecondTodayScreen. This does as it says and gives you a second Today screen so you can have TF3D running and still access another Today screen with all your plugins on it.
Hi:
I am brand new to Captivate (from a Tilt 2), so am exploring Android. So far I am in love with it.
I have searched, and can't seem to find how to set the Home screen. What I mean is, I found how to edit screens (add, remove). But, for some reason the Home button always takes me to the screen farthest to the right. I would like for it to take me to the center screen. How do I do this?
Thanks!
I think on TouchWiz, if you only have 3 homescreens created, the default will be the one on the far right. If you create more homescreens (say 7), it will be the one in the middle. Try adding more homescreens to the right of the one that is defaulted for you right now. Then once you get the one in middle as your default, you can delete the ones to the far left and right if you don't want all 7 screens. Hope this makes sense.
The default is the one with the little home icon at the bottom. You can put it anywhere

Hi:
WD33- Thanks so much. I tried that. I have added and subtracted a million screens, but there seems to be no rhyme or or reason (sometimes it's the farthest one to the left, sometimes it's the second to last etc), and I can't seem to get the middle one as home.
Dani:
Thanks for your reply. I don't see the little home icon. You do mean in the edit screen to edit tabs, right?
Thanks again to both of you!
EDIT: Well, after much trial and error, I had to go back to the original 7 screen layout in order to get the center screen to be home.
