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.

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.
...the text above the tabs (e.g. carrier/date above the clock, "weather," "launcher," etc.) on the HTC home plugin? I'm hoping by doing so the plugin will slide up to the task bar and give me a little extra real estate on the home screen.
Thanks

Why don't you use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374751
Two possible solutions for more today screen space
Not exactly what you want but you could try these programs.
You can use pmc todayshrink to remove the soft key bar at the bottom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342837
Or you could try ultimate launcher to make as many different Today Screens as you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366796
Thanks. Both are great suggestions and probably workable alternatives to what I had in mind. And b/c I obviously didn't do a good enough job explaining it, here's a screen cap that shows what I'm trying to remove...
Thanks again for replying.

Does anyone have a tweak for this? Kaisertweak didn't remove this for me unfortunately...
Are you running with or without the AT&T BloatWare?
I've removed the Bloat and I don't have that AT&T bar listed.
I'm running SPB Time, HTCHomePlug, Messaging, Calendar, and Tasks on my Today screen.
Date, OZIM_Plugin, Device Lock, Wireless, Music Plugin, and Owner Info are turned off.
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
And everything about SecondToday, you'll find from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401907
The bottom Weather is from Worldmate Live.
Can someone make an app for the Today screen that would allow the blank space on the screen to react to a touch by "pushing" the Today screen items off the screen so i can just see my wallpaper and top & bottom nav bars? Touching the screen that does not cause another Today item to activate would use the blank space on the screen to be used as an action. when touched it would either push the items off the screen or simpy make them dissappear or re-appear... The home screen can get so cluttered with all the notifications and info, sometimes it's nice to just see the background image.
thoughts?
SecondToday, SPB Pocket Plus, etc...
or you could use ultimatelaunch. this would create you multiple tabs which you can access by swiping the screen to the left or right and giving you access to multiple different setups. you can include today plugins into the plugin which makes it very customizable.
cheers
yes, I'm aware of those apps, I was looking for something with more screen effect that could remove the clutter without adding more pages/screens. it's already a linux screen effect in the desktop OS world, i thought it'd be cool to see on a Kaiser/Tilt
I am pretty new to Touchflo and am wondering who is using (and enjoying) touchflo, and who still uses HTC home. I remembered reading somewhere that some people uninstalled touchflo and kept with HTC home. I want to see everyone is doing before i get fully on board. Also, if you use another option I didn't list, put in a comment and i can add it to the poll.
While we are on the subject what HTC Home VGA does everyone use? I have tried the PJ HTC Home VGA but has issues with weather...
Damned!
It's hard to live without the touch flo !
We expected it for a long time .....
Its really cute but less productive ....... not unfortunatly as deep thinked than the iphone UI (if we need an exemple)
BTW i can't live without ! everytime i put it off my raph feels naked !
Once i got my hand on SPB Shell, Everything is faster and easier to access. No look back to TF3D here. The interface of spb shell is just beautiful and straight forward. I can run both lunchers side by side but I don't see the need. Fuze's battery life is very good on spb shell tho some reports said it drained battery life especially when run together with TF3D. Well.. my battery last almost 2 days with moderate use with spb shell ( with advanced config max power saver setting and manually switch between 3G and GRPS when needed. So, No compliant at all. )
Just did quite tough battery life test today. Talked on the phone for more than an hr. Missed a few calls. Did some text messaging and checked voice mails. Heavily surf on net using 3G and GRPS. Turn on and off different applications especially the browers/ calenda/ games/ online games... let data connection stay on... 25% left after about a 9-10 hrs day.

I'm using HTC Home, the one I'm using though is a custom one...I combined two installs that were originally seperate and changed the default clock to one I converted to VGA.
another for for HTC Home.. just enough info at your fingertips and doesn't make the phone drag a$$
Was running everything out of phoneAlarm using a full-screen skin that gave me access to literally everything I need from speed dial with photos to weather, app shortcuts, profile control...
Changed to running SBSH Pcoket Breeze in no tabs mode on the bottom 2/3 of my today screen with a different phoneAlarm screen above. The no-tabs mode allows me to swipe the PocketBreeze area of the screen to change to different tabs. The attached screen capture shows my schedule for the next several days with the weather forecasts for those days (colors indicate appointment category).
im too using htc home inside ultimate launcher everything just fine. just have to chang icon size in ultimate laucher to 98 or so
i've tried everything.. mobilematt fuzzberry, dirty wrap etc.. but disable TF3D and running spb pocket plus are still the best for me.. i packed it with pocketbreeze to maximize my appointments schedule.. the spb pp has everything.. batt indicator, shortcuts on Today with multi-tabs (categories) memory status, backlight adjustment, soft-reset... everythiingggg is on Today screen
with 2 taps, i can run any third-party programs i've installed including games, settings, silent mode, vibrate mode etc...
pocketbreeze is to manage my whole month schedule.. either meetings, site visits, dateline.. or family gathering events, birthdays, weddings,
no more touching and flowing.. LOL
HD port tf3d at the moment. But looking hard at the spb but hard to find good vga themes.
I actually don't use either. I use rlToday, which is a simple XML based homescreen.
Here is the version I made for the Samsung Epix.
The one I'm using now replaces the text below the clock with 4 big icons (SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and VM) with their respective counters.
So I still have the neat clock (not animated) and big buttons to get me to the needed app.
There is lots of room between the clock and the 4 bottom buttons... I was thinking of adding a Google Search bar or something... but I dunno.
I just like it because it is simple and displays what I need it to in an easy to read/access fashion.
