Hello Group (first post )
Any way to have the HTC Home Weather Screen display Weatherbug Direct instead? As an app, I like Weatherbug much better (more info, easier to pick various cities, etc), but of course it takes up that extra screen-estate.
I've already done a search through the registry to look for any sort of "run" line to a seperate weather app that I could have just changed, but of course nothing's quite that easy.
I'm guessing it would involve modifying htchome.dll, which is a bit beyond my paygrade . But I'm hoping not
I've done a search every way I can figure how to see if this has been already discussed here, and couldn't find anything. If I've missed a previous post on the topic, my apologies to the group
bump as well for me....thanks
Bump, I'd like to see ANY choice in weather apps for the HTC Home app other then the default one, because it doesn't support my city without a dll hack.

is there some sort of guide or anything that will help me out with changing my homescreen to a custom style that I want? I see everyone have all these cool hhomescreens with "tabs". for example an entertainment tab, weather tab, etc
I strongly advise you to do sit down with your manual and your phone. Grab a beer and go through the whole manual. Trust me, you will learn a LOT. Then come back here and go through the Post Your Today Screen thread. Most everyone who has posted has explained what programs to use to achieve the desired home screen.
If your question isn't answered, use the SEARCH function. Browse the forums. You will find much more by searching and reading than by asking pointless questions.

I'm sure there are guides, but basically you need to go to the Start/Settings/Personal/Today/Items area to enable/disable the today plug-ins and to change their order. As for all the screens that you are seeing posted on here they are typically a collaboration of many today plug-ins. For me, I use a Resco plug-in to show my battery level, and have quick access to numerous programs. Then I have PhoneWeaver for my profiles. Below that is PocketBreeze for calendar, tasks, notes, contacts, messages (all in tabs). And my last plug in is Weather To Go for my weather. Oh and I'm also trying out SPB Pocket Plus which is the battery bar at the very top (above start, time, etc.).
Hope this helps.
Hi all
Im looking for an app that will complement the calendar by allowing to record voice notes instead of text input when the calendar is open on "day" view.
when you hold down a specific time on the calendar, the voice recorder is activated and the Voice Note automatically gets recorded on the calendar date and time you are holding down, and gets added to your reminders/appointments with default settings and no more questions.
It would be a lot better obviously if it was translated to text first, but not necessary.
I was able to find "voice cal", very old and uninstallable on wm6.1 with .cf.net 3.5
and also "speerio voice organizer"... looks like a memory hog and i read it doesn't work right. Its also crowded with a million different things that are not useful.
I just want a simple interface to be able to use with one or two clicks or buttons in order to set up a calendar event while im driving or on the phone etc....
thanks
bump!.................
Hi Spiro,
any luck on finding that app? Cos i've been looking for the same, tho i would prefer that when u push the "record" button, u get multiple choices regarding where to place the voice note, where "calendar" bein one of the first. Then u just had to place it into the day and time you would like it to be. Haven't found one yet, so i've started to write to different application developers suggesting such an app. I'm surprised that they haven't made one ages ago. In meantime, if you should come across one, pls let me know.
cheers
anyone???
Do I really have to take up programming and write my own app?
I was lookin around and saw this
handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Calendar/VoiceCalendars-52540.shtml
I think this is different than VoiceCal
The one I gave the link to, seems lke it could work. Only problem is that it doesnt use WM existing calendar.
I tried speerio voice reminder and it was horrible! I dont know what some people are thinking.
All I need is a simple plugin to show itself on the calendars context menu when I "long press" on dayview to say "new voice note" and when I click on it it should have a HUGE red record button and a stop button. When you hit the stop button the calendar would save that as an event with the default alarms on the date it was created
the only problem I see with that is that the heading of the event would not be very informative unless one typed the info, but im willing to live with that. Or maybe MSvoice command could help there with some text to speech engine!!! (im not holding my breath)
Im using an app called "thumpcal" right now but they dont have a "day view" and I have to set the time after I scedulle an event on a specific date, but its better than the built in calendar BECAUSE ITS SIMPLE!!!!!
I dont understand how am i supposed to use a program like "speerio" while im driving when it has 30 f...n buttons the size of a neutron on the screen in a grey on grey display?????????
Does anyone know what I have to learn in order to put a little program together to do what I want it to do?
PS I also found some other interesting programs like "freenotes" that I thought was a good idea but I would like to be able to initiate that from the "day view" on the calendar (right click on a time on the screen and have the choice of a voice note or a pen note) so that I dont have to key- in the time that I want the event to take place
ummmmmm.....the link that I posted does what you want.
1.Make folders by subject name
2.Click on a folder, it then brings up calendar
3.Click on a day of the month
4.There is a BIG RED RECORD BUTTON at bottom of screen
5.Record your note, it is then stored for that specific day
Is this not what you want? Granted it doesn't use your existing calendar but hey, something is better than nothing, right
VoiceCalendars
Update*
I was just lookin around and found this app. I think it might be right up your alley. Very simple/minimal interface. Allows you to record a voice message up to 2 minutes and then you can set a date and time for it to play aloud automatically.
Voice Reminder: Download Cab
Heres the website I found it at
I hope either of these programs can help. I know how frustrating it is not to be able to find that perfect app!

Hey asofiker
thanks for your reply
I have an HTC Kaiser phone
I tried both programs you suggested and had the same problems with both that other users seem to be experiencing
the "voice calendars" displays a "the control grid .....could not be created" error
and the other program from the XDA member gives me the "An error occoured on sub_app_start.
This device does not support display power on/off Continue?" error.
I appreciate your help and if I find anything that works in the future Ill be sure to post here
Thanks again!
Not exactly what you're looking for but an idea: Agenda Fusion with its Notes Organizer and Data Linking features. Also a good agenda with lots of views. http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/index.htm
Pocket Informant 8 is the best Calendar and Contacts app available and I always install it to my wm devices. It has voice notes recording functionality and then some. Check it out. I have tried all the others at great expense (some provide trials) and this is by far the best one.
Regards,
MAC
I tried agenda fusion in the past and find that it falls in the same category as most of these organizer programs its simply overkill for a one handed hand held device with a 2 inch screen
Ill give pocket informant a try and post back
Thanks
pocket informant no good for this purpose either!

Which version of PI are you using?
Mine is version 8 and it does exactly as you require! It saves a voice note under Storage Card/Voices when you select Notes View>Menu>Recording

Hey fellow forum users,
I recently (read: last tuesday afternoon) got my Diamond. And I am kind of lost.
First of all, my internet doesn't work. Tuesday begin of the evening it did work. But at the end of the evening and today it hasn't worked at all. @ the dutch vodafone site there are specific things you need to fill in which I did. However it still doesn't work. So I will be giving them a call first thing tomorow.
Second of all, my music. When I plug in my Touch Diamond on the computer, I see this map "content" I click on it and I see "music" so I put an album in there, but there is no music on the phone. Does it have to be converted? because I didnt find a converter on any of the cd's I was given. The same thing with my video. I put a movie on it for testing, but can't find that anywhere on my phone either.
Further I have some requests,
- I am looking for a transparant clock (the white part transparant) so you'll see the wallpaper better.
- I am looking for a way to change the bottom bar.
- I am looking for the best way to use my gps receiver (like a program or something).
- A way to simplify my contacts, I find it very annoying to have all this info. I just want to keep their names with e-mail, mobile phone numer and home number.
- A thing like that weather tab, only then with the time. Don't know if it's out but I find that a really funny feature on the iPods. Perhaps with those huge analog clocks showing the time of 6 countries in the world
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
p.s. I'll be using this topic if allowed for some further questions and am looking forward to any advice given.
p.p.s general advice on what to do with it for easier and better use of the device is very very much welcome.
p.p.p.s I have these programs on my phone aswell, as a .rar file still though if that matters (he said not), someone adviced me to put them on:
- Mortonscript
- Diamond TF3D Config Setup
- Automatic Wallpaper changer (no use for this yet but I really liked the background he was talking about that changed to the time it was, so like a sun during the day and a moon during the night).
I am completly lost at the moment. Gonna study the books that were packed with it I guess. Any help is appreciated.
1000 times thanks for anyone who can help.
(and hope this is allowed)
anyone that can help?

Hi Dennis,
I'll try to help where I can. The internet issue you will probably have to sort out with your provider. If it was working and now it isn't it the only thing I can think of is you made some change to the network config. They should be able to get it working again.
As for Music I found the best way to transfer music to the Diamond is through active sync. Plug your phone in to your PC, when prompted on the phone select active sync, then on the PC open up Windows Media player and select sync. Then just drag and drop the music you want on your phone to the sync panel and then click sync. All the music you selected will be transferred to your phone and the album art and everything if it is available will be displayed on the phone.
For the transaprent flip clock and lots more tf3d mods, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436867
For the bottom bar you have to be more specific, do you want to change the softkeys??
I find the best GPS software is either google maps or microsoft live search, both are free, google them!
For contacts there are many solutions out there, you will have to look on your own, sorry!
I've seen world clock application but most of them are home plugins, again you will have to look around on your own..
As for the rest, you will have to spend some time reading and searching. I don't advise reading the book that came with it as it contains very little useful info.
hit me back if you have anymore questions!!! oh and welcome to the community!!!
With changing the bottombar I mean putting like perhaps the gps on the spot of the photo / video etc.
Thanks btw
Sorry Dennis, as far as i know there is currently no method for changing the tf3d tabs. You can add some but really they already exist just not displayed. You can try SSmapa to replace some of the default functions.
Hi, can anyone help me with my final sticking point before possibly upgrading to the HTC One?
I have an HTC Desire Z and one facility that I use on almost a daily basis at work is in the onboard Calculator which allows me to simply scroll up (using it’s mini trackpad) to previous calculations then change individual figures and recalculate them.
The One I’ve seen demonstrated instore doesn’t appear to have a way to do this (I tried swiping up, and also holding my finger on the result area of the screen), and the assistant didn’t know if it was possible either. However, holding the “Clear” button for a couple of seconds brings up a message along the lines of the calculations history being cleared from the memory, suggesting that it must have this information stored.
Can anyone who perhaps owns a One let me know if there’s a way to access previous calculations in this way please.
Many thanks
Download holocalc, you can view history easily and it looks way cleaner.
Thanks for your suggestion. I settled with MobiCalc in the end as it has a really simple History button. Cheers :good:
Hello,
I am in no way, shape, or form a developer nor do I understand most of the jargon but I have this idea I thought to put out into the world and hopefully one day use it while marvelling at developer sorcery ?
So, I challenge myself to read every day, most of it done on my phone for convenience, but I often get sidetracked fiddling with my phone and other stuff.. Now, I have the whatsapp widget installed and if it weren't for that I wouldn't read my messages as often. This led me to search for a widget that shows pages of whatever book you want but couldn't find any. And that is the void I thought someone could fill. I can't be the only one struggling to accomplish my daily reading quota ?
I managed a primitive way to accomplish that one night and took screenshots of a book I had and saved the pictures in page number order and used the gallery widget to shuffle through the pictures. This was done when I was insomiac one night and bored out of my mind. It was great in the end but obviously impossible to keep up.
For me, it would be great to dedicate one page of my screen to a widget that can show a page of x book. Maybe even have it turn to the next page after a certain interval of time (like live wallpapers).
Please excuse me if my post was longer than needed or if this wasn't even the right place to post... Have a great day everyone!
