If you open 'calender' via the start menu instead it will stay in month view. Hope this helps.

That's completely normal, as it is called a Today screen So if you open the calender by clicking your agenda it will open today and not the normal setting. Discussed here before a few times and as far as i know there isn't a solution yet.

ah...ok...thx!!
I found the following behaviour with my T-Mobile branded Diamond:
You're in the TouchFlo3D home screen.
Clicking on an appointment shown below the clock and missed called button, you will see the agenda view.
Clicking on the lower right hand site "calendar" button, you will see the month view in calendar. No matter what you've setup in the options mentioned above in this thread...
Bit weird.
*bump*
still no possible fix or tweak around this thing? i know it's not a major bug or smth but it's annoying enough to have to tap 3 times more just to get into your "month" view
I fixed this by changing one of the soft keys to calander. When I now click this soft key it goes to my calander month view page. But if I click the reminder/calendar note below the call history it goes to day view so I think its a bug with TF3D.
I have fix this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462037&highlight=month+view
***edit 20/12/08*** As BlockbusterF writes few posts below there is a simpler solution than mine. I checked it myself and is working, so i suggest try his method and not mine. My method has some differences. It opens calendar in month view even if you have it minimized in other view eg day view.
For everyone who wants to use the more difficult method of mine this is it:***
After i have take many things from this site ,it is time to give something back!
I managed to make the calendar to open in month view, and not the default day view. I noticed that many others are trying to do this.
This is how i did it. I write a simple (one line) program in basic for ppc, which runs the calendar to month view. You can download ti here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/175093797/monthvew.exe
Is is only 36 KB. Now put it in any folder you want (even in internal storage)
Try to run it. You will see that calendar will appear but in month view. Even if you have already calendar running in the background on day view, by running monthvew.exe it will go to screen to month view.
So the only problem now is to change the link to manila so when you press the button of calendar on screen, not to run calendar.exe, but to run my program monthview.exe (Which will run calendar.exe again but in month view) So the final result will be by pressing "calendar" on manila to have again runing calendar but in month view this time. You can do this by SSMaPa . If you dont know the program read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
Be sure that you know how to use it, and you dont making anything wrong with this program (You can try to change the button of calendar to run another .exe to see that you have learn to use ssmapa, and after to make it run monthview.exe)
After all perhaps you will see that every time you press calendar ,it opens in day view and immediately changes to month view. If this happens it is because you have it opens by its settings to day view. Go to the calendar-- menu-tools- and from the list there set "open in month view"
Now everything will work ok and the calendar will opens to month view at once ..
Thanks for this...
finally
Thanks for your work!
But I have to say that it's already no problem to start the calendar in month view.
Just remove the "$" under parameters with SSMaPA and select "start in monthview" or something like that under extras -> options in calendar and thats all.

I didnt know this. If you do a search in the forum, you will see that me and many others was searching for this, and noone give a solution .Also in all the Greek forums (I am Greek..) many searching and all writes that there is no solution . If what you write is working, forget my post , as it is simpler .
Very cool ;-)

Wow this is great. It's amazing how small of a quirk can be so annoying.
Can you please tell me where to find these parameters/extras in order to remove the "$".
Can't seem to find this.
Thanks so much!
Ehm... I have done the same by setting it under Menu-Extra- Options- start in month view
Yes, but this only work if you start your calendar out of the startmenu for example.
Wenn you click on calendar in manila it normaly always start in agenda mode.
So you have to use SSMaPa to tweak your manila.exe.

Download SSmapa from the link i give , save it in a folder in your mobile, run it.
In the first page check the box "extended init" and press "init". in the messegebox with a question press "no". Now you will see a list of aplications.
Press the first one "calendar.exe"
You will see a box "Arguments" with the value "$".
Delete the $
check the box "patch anabled and "press save.
Now go to the next page "deploy" and press "deploy patch". Restart manila.
Thanks sosimple for keeping so simple! Took me a little time finding that SSmapa but after that, it was so simple.
THanks sosimple for making this process so simple.
thanks

Hey lads I'm running dutty's rom 3.6b and when you click the calendar tab on the manilla home screen it'll bring you straight to month view or whatever you happen to have chosen in the Calendar options. I believe its a feature of the newer versions of manilla. Before dutty 3.6b I was using a stock ROM and it always used to go to the day view.
Cooked ROMs are lovely.
Now you can do this, even in the original rom, with the trick i write ..
which manila file is ssmapa patching when you delete the $ sign from it? I would like to just overwrite the patched version after hard reset through autoconfig instead of running the program.
I went to the program tab on TF3D and noticed that an extra row of blank spaces appeared out of nowhere. I didnt think it was that bad since I get an extra row. Unfortunately when I try add a new program, it stays blank and another row of blank icons appear! Anyone know how to get rid of this?
You can manage the icons/programs in the program tab with a freeware utility called "diamond TF3D Config" (you will find it here by using the search)

I know all about TF3d config. Im having problems with the amount of rows present in my programs tab. I cant use them and I cant remove them. I havent installed any programs lately and IDK wth I need to do to get rid of them. So far I have 12 rows of unusable [+] icons. TF3d Config does not manage this.
I have the same problem!!!
I now have an extra page (3x3 icons) of "add program" icons.
In tf3d config it shows the programs I wanted to add, which appear as add program.
And if I try to delete them the add icons still stay....
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks
ditto... I randomly got the same problem about 2 days ago shorty after I installed the diamond config I think. I also installed the footprints cab and navipanel as well... and recently installed facebook chat and wfacebook.
maybe one of these new installs caused the issue?

Had the same problem too guys, it has nothing to do with the footprints cab or facebook chat, all you need to do are some very simple registry edits. I saw the solution a while back in this forum. Can't remember any more what the title of the thread was, but it solved my problem. Will try to find it and get back to you.
EDIT: Found it! Here you go: (credit goes to Rabangus)
Open the registry editor and go to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
In there you should only have keys 0-17. Just delete any additional key you find there (i.e. key 18 and above), do a soft-reset and you're done
Hope this helps...
Peter
thnks this solved the problem.
yeah this happened to me a while ago and that solution worked
That's great and all but WHY did it happen in the first place?
Thats part of the mystery.
maybe u have installed xbodmod manilla HD and then u have unistalled.. that should give u some new entries in program tab..

Excellent post, this one had me confused as well but your solution took care of that.
Is there any way to make these extra buttons functional instead of deleting them?
I have the same problem - extra row of icons that I cannot assign to programs...
It happened to me just after I clicked on the FM Radio icon, I had just installed the TP2 icons which installed that icon but since my phone did not have an FM Radio it gave me a really weird error and that's when the icons showed up.
Hi everyone,
I could use some help from the experienced TYTN owners out there:
I just purchased a used HTC TYTN II (my first pocket PC). The person who owned it previously downloaded the Ulitmate X.V4 ROM and Manila 2d into the phone already (took me a while to figure out what the "xda-developers" screen was that popped up every time I turned on my phone!).
1st problem- tried to simply customize my today screen by selecting items to be displayed in the 'settings>personal>today' tab. I check off the items I want as per the operation manual (i.e. tasks, appointments) but after clicking 'ok' nothing has changed on the today screen. When I go back into the settings, what I checked is no longer checked. Frustrating!!
So then I thought maybe this problem would be solved by adding a customization program. Downloaded the Manila customizer and a theme off this site (as a newbie, learned to download cabs by trial and error- couldn't find any clear cut beginner instructions on the internet on how to do this- so who knows if I've done it right). Loaded the theme this didn't help me customize what's on the today screen nor did the background change (only the title bars and menus changed)- no idea why or how to fix this.
I also tried to download the HTC home plugin, HHC customizer and appearances files. Managed to successfully download the customizer and appearances but the app won't run because I don't have the HTC home plugin and this file won't download. Every time I try I get the message: "installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions." What does this mean??
Basically, all I want is a today screen that is customized to show my appointments, tasks along with the clock, calls, etc. And a nice theme would be great. Why can't I do this?! If anyone has suggestions or some links to beginner information that would be awesome.
I would also like to be able to download apps and run them... I have a TomTom GPS moblie disk but considering I can't even display my appointments on my phone, getting this to work will be mission impossible! Again, anything that will point me in the right direction would be much appreciated!

u need to unload your manila in order for you to show all those today menu
OMG thank you so much- it's all good now. I sadly would not have figured out such a simple thing and unfortunately I could not find anything on the internet that would explain this. The guy who had the phone before me obviously knew what he was doing and downloaded all kinds of stuff, which is great... but then it made the official manual useless while learning the phone!!
I have my tasks/appts on the today screen like I wanted but I'm sad that I don't have the "actions" tab with touchflo anymore
This thread is for discussion among those of us TD2 users who have dumped, or might dump, TF3D in favour of either another Today screen replacement or the stock WinMo 6.1 Today screen.
Thus far I'm finding the TD2 a hell of a lot more usable without TF3D. Little things like being able to use a lock password with a 15 minute delay, getting auto-Capitalization when writing texts are good, along with a much faster phone, much less memory usage and....it even seems I'm getting better battery life.
Most of the bugs people are reporting are actually TF3D issues which are resolved by ditching TF3D.
So has anyone else taken the plunge and gone back to the standard WinMo6.1?
I used to installed Ultimate Launch then Spb Mobile Shell in my original Diamond. Now I am using TF3D in my Diamond2. I wish Mobile Shell 3 may upload a more bug free version for the new device such as HD and Diamond2 and I may switch back to Mobile Shell. Perhaps WM6.5 release may change my plan and look forward to what HTC still put their manila on top of those WM6.5 device.
As I said, the thread is for people who are NOT using TF3D.
Personally I think WM6.5 will render TF3D completely redundant by handling the one thing it's good at - gloss.
Another thing I've noticed about not using TF3D is that the phone's response to tilting it to landscape and back is a lot faster.
My case as well: I've got the feeling that TF3D is more like a heavy bag.
As soon as I deactivated, the phone became easier to be handled and plus, presenting extra memory/battery resources as well.
However, a Launcher is very much needed, since neither the TF3D, nor the WM's Today screen don't offer the possibility to get to your action choice with only one button-tap.
Is there a good free launcher which can do that?
cheers!
I'm finding judicious use of which apps you put into the Start Menu helps a lot - the apps I use on a daily basis are all there, others I can get to via their presence on the Today screen, such as Tomtom.
The start menu seems to appear quicker than the TF3D one does as well.
Another thing I'm liking is the Today plugin for the RSS reader - TF3D2 didn't seem to handle RSS alerts well, when you acknowledged them it didn't take you into the RSS reader.
Best of all though is the fact I can now password protect my phone properly and delay it for 15 mins so I'm not badgered for the password all the time.
I'm finding that I don't need the stylus much either, despite the smaller menus and so on.
I just can't get over the extended battery life and improved memory usage though!
Without TF3D and three apps running (calendar, contacts and file explorer) my memory is loaded only 38%.
With TF3D it never went under 50%.
As for the battery, I can only say that it seems that lasts longer, but I didn't really seriously monitor it.
I was using PointUI Home2 free version on my Diamond, it's great. Less memory usage, and huge customisability. I had 5 "tabs" with the homescreen (see attachment) calendar & tasks, comms, stock, and weather. Worked great.
The default Home2 theme is a little mucky, but there is a huge range of alternative themes. I made a nice black one that suits the diamond.
If I get rid of TF3D then
- can I alter by normal threaded SMS for to show more than 1 line that I have typed in my new reply (like TF3D does)?
- can I still create push internet sites without TF3D?
- will the hardware button for program files still work? Will this take me to the same screen?
Can I exit TF3D without disabeling it just to check out how things look?
I have disabled and tweaked so much of TF3D that I am also thinking that it is going to be off my device with the 6.5 ROM anyway .... why not do it now.

Assuming you mean the flag button, yes it still brings up the Start Menu, but you'll get the normal WM6.1 one, which contains your most recently used apps, your seven favourite apps you've selected to appear on the menu, a shortcut to Settings and a shortcut to all your Programs.

Just go into All Settings, Personal, Today and uncheck the TF3D box to turn TF3D off. Give it a few days of usage before you make your mind up. Don't forget to turn on and customize the other Today screen plugins to get the full experience.

My thoughts entirely. In a couple of months' time TF3D will be completely redundant anyway.
Incidentally, I've started getting right into Today screen plugins...TodayAgenda is frankly the best app on my phone. I use the Todo (Tasks) app more than any other app on my phone. TodayAgenda allows you to have your task list (with only the active tasks showing, huzzah!) right there on your today screen, so you don't even need to unlock your phone to see what you need to do next! And you can complete tasks and create new ones right there on the Today screen. It's awesome and I can see this becoming my new most-used widget.
Just this one plugin renders TF3D utterly redundant as far as I'm concerned!
The RSS reader has a plugin too, which is really useful.
Does anyone else have good suggestions for really useful Today plugins? I tried PointUI Home2 but that's more of a replacement than a plugin.
Hi Jim,
By TodayAgenda you mean the calendar inputs shown in the Today screen?
If this is so, I'm a little disapointed because it shows only the next one, not the next week ones, let's say...
Is there a way to have more than one event listed?
thanks

No I'm talking about TodayAgenda - it's a plugin, you have to download and install it. It lets you look as far ahead as you like and does both Todos and Calendat entries (although I only use it for Todos).
Also, try WMP Status 1.0, it shows you on the today screen the artist, album, track and track number that you're currently playing in Media Player. Very useful as you don't need to unlock your phone to see what you're listening to!

Incidentally, if you go into Settings / Today and highlight CALENDAR, click OPTIONS, you can set it to show all upcoming appointments instead of just the next one.

No problem. Check out WMP Status 1.0 as well, it's really useful when you're listening to music!
Ok, since I droped TF3D, I also dropped the phone dialer skin, leaving the WM one, which is fine for me but apparently it has a bug:
it doesn't show me the calls&contacts, in its scroll-down field, even though there is some information present, because if I tap, it opens the call's details window.
In other words, it's like a list on which the items have the same font color like the list's background.
Did anybody experienced the same?
Is it possible that another dialer skin would change this behavior?
I put Phonealarm and today agenda straight on my phone and removed TF3D its just too restricting. I can get to everything i need with one click on the home screen none of this swishing fingers to get to stuff.
I really don't know what some of yoy are complaining about...
Not Capitalizing the first letter... NONSENS, when i write a SMS the first letter of a sentence is capitalized..
Memory consumption.......
Why do you think this device has so much ???? Because HTC wants you to run TF3D and still have more then enough memory free to run Whatever app......
I was sceptical at first too. But if you give it a chance you will see that once you have seen every screen (without a reboot) it's VERY fast, and very comfortable...
I am sure i will keep TF3D for a while !

I used to run 2 Today pages using Second Today.
Weather (SPB Traveller) , CLauncher and SPB Phone (can't beat the options here) on the 1st Today. SPB Diary full screen on the other (2nd) Today.
Custom links to Internet and GPS Navigation complete the productive config.
I travel for business. Calendar and Contacts and the most important.
TF3D Calendar can't make top 20 on market I would say. Contacts in TF3D are death by scrolling (by default). The new D2 Dialer is more productive for contacts than any of the TF3D contacts screens!
I agree that all these other UIs that don't allow Today plugins are missing the point. People want to pay for and use specialist programs where certain functionality is important to them.

With a WVGA screen, I really wish there were a work around to be able to place more than 7 apps in the start menu. Can't believe I've never found a hack for this.
Alternatively, I love to be able to route the start button to the All Programs folder but never been able to find this either. Two simple things that must not be easy or else we would have seen them before.
BTW, I unchecked TF3D within 24hrs (a month ago). I use SPB Mobile Shell for the shell. For the today screen (WM 6.1) I use Today Agenda, Google Search, Elecont Weather (paid) or WeatherBugDirect (free). I also run all my tasks and appointments from the traditional today screen via TodayAgenda.
