Hi there,
Is there a way I can put a text document directly on one of my home screens and edit directly from there? I would like to use it for a shopping list. I have both Astrid and AK Notepad which are both awesome but they require afew extra button presses. Since I have 7 home screen pages, I would like to just be able to swipe directly to my list. Thanks for your help.
Huck.
I just tried do that with BetterCut for you but I couldn't get it to link directly to a saved note, just the note app itself
Maybe someone else will have another solution?
OI shopping list is the app for you!

There are currently only 6 tab options to select from (Home, Weather, Launcher, Profiles, Music, And Contacts), and it would be great to add a phone tab/button cause the phone button is not in an ergonomic place.
Is it possible to create a phone tab to be used with HTC Home Customizer? Or better yet, is there a download with extra tabs that I can load into it?

Not likely to be able to add a new tab to the existing one. But this may be an addon that helps...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344005
But IMO, not sure how either would be easier than hitting the green phone button on the phone.
I have seen this cab before but I couldn't figure out if there was any way to add my own buttons/substitute for what was already on there. Is it possible and I just missed it?
EDIT: Nevermind, just saw that I could. Thanks!
Does anyone has a clue if we can remove the small mobile icon on the photo in the Favorite People? I notice this icon will show up if I have more than 1 number ties to the person.
just delete hh_people_16x16_device.png, hh_people_16x16_home.png and hh_people_16x16_working.png from your windows directory.
these are the small icons...
HAllo,
I have the same problem...i found these files in windows directory but the menu items "Delete" or "Cut" are disabled. What can i do? Thanks
petervbeck: Thanks but like Queenmercury I do not have the option to delete them. They are part of the ROM probably because I have a HTC TyTn II. Any program that I can use to remove unwanted ROM files?
xoxo
You can't delete because the files are in use by HTC Home.
Disable HTC Home in Settings -> Today and try again.
If it's still not working, try using TotalCommander to delete the files.
--> Sorry for wrong information: Solution see Post #10
I tried using Resco Explorer to delete. No luck. Error: Files are part of the ROM.
Let me make sure, on the HTC HOME screen you are trying to get rid of the "Contacts" tab (the one where you can assign phone numbers to little blocks)
I did it because I have an app called face contacts which works much better. lol
I just tried this and it works but you have to install a few other CAB files to get it to work.
go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308&highlight=home+customiser
Then follow the directions to install the HTC HOME CUSTOMIZER (HHC)
when you go to the set up on the bottom tabs in the HHC there is a tab for the HTC HOME "tabs"
It is there where you can add or take out specific tabs.
hopefully it works for you like it did me.
No, they just want to get rid of the little icon that attaches itself the the front of the contacts image when you assign a specific number, eg mobile instead of home.
I also tried disabling the home screen, deleted the icons with resco, but the icons were there again when I restarted the plugin.
Tried restarting device, and the files I got rid of were there again...
I have the opposite problem... I have the Favorite people tab checked so that it should be on my Today screen. No matter what I do, I can only get the today, weather,launcher, ringtones and musice tabs to show up. I would actually like the Favorite people tab on the today screen. I have the HHC program and have put contacts in, but still no tab showing up.

Have you tried to delete this registry key already ?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial
it's not that hard to find when you do a quick search.... maybe next time....
To keii and Queenmercury:
The solution are transparent pics, see attachment.
Disable HTC Home and then replace the existing files with the attached files. Works fine on my Kaiser
I did a search but did not get any results. When I followed your link to quick search, there it was. Apparently I have not been searching the entire site, only Kaiser. Thanks... the fix did indeed work and I will use the quick search from now on!

Many thanks petervbeck for prompt response but it's still not working. I tried to replace the files with your transparent and it's telling me they are read-only file.
Is there a registry key I can edit to remove the picture?
By any chance is anyone aware of a SIMPLE speed dial application (with large buttons) that normally would reside on the today screen. Something along the lines of a picture speed dial or something that takes the name of the contact and makes it large (i.e. finger friendly) and just lists like 5-10 contacts. It has to be an application that normally is a today screen plugin. My goal here is to have a tab within pocket plus that contains this today plugin.
Thanks for the help guys. I've been searching, but have yet to find anything short of a total today screen replacement (which I DON'T want).
quick dialer
Plus has a photo contact option within it. You can set up a tab just for your photo contacts and put whatever photo contacts that you want in it. You can spread them out for whatever spacing you want. That is what I have in one of PP tabs.
By any chance can you point in the right direction to this application (Quick Dialer)? I didn't a forum search, but can't find it readily.
Thank you.

Anyone else know where I can get this "Quick Dialer" the previous poster alluded to?
Thank you.
I use SPB mobile shell and their today plug-in. Pending how you set it up you can have two dial tabs with 5 contacts each. Finger friendly and practical.

How about this I attached a pic of the tab with 15 tabs for picture tabs for easy finger access.

mcmexican,
That's nice. Not quite what I'm looking for though.
The closest thing I've found to what I'm looking for is actually the Treo 700W speed dial cab (which allows you to select Pictures, or text buttons). I like to use the text buttons (but wish they were a bit bigger), but I wish when I hit the button it asked me if I wanted to send an SMS or call a different number.
Anyone else have any suggestions? Can anyone point me to the app the birdheh mentioned (Quick Dialer)?
Thank you.
By the way... here's a picture of my current speed dial/weather tab illustrating what I like:
Is there a program that allows the today screen plug in to be customized? Like instead of having a music player tab, could it be edited to a quick text list that will launch a text to said person? Or if there was a way to modify the quick call list to do texts instead, that would work.
also, is there a way to expand the number of contacts/programs another line or 2 to fit more contacts/programs?
I've been searching like a madman, but coming up empty handed.
nothing? that sucks.
There is HTC Home Customizer which has been mentioned and described in many threads in this forum. Please do a search for it, I don't have a url. It is free and very effective.
htc home customizer doesn't do anything you asked for.

Yeah, I'm a fan of HHC, but I'm looking for a program that can expand the slots on which fave people and programs are located on the tabs.
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
