Replace Calendar with Call History on Home Tab - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for a way to replace the calendar link on the home tab with a call history link (that also shows missed calls when you have them). I had previously installed cookie's home tab, and I really liked that feature, but it was the only feature I needed. Since cookie's home tab was running a bit sluggish on my phone, I uninstalled it.
Is there a way to get the call history button without installing cookie's home tab. I searched the forums, but couldn't find any cabs.

There are only 2 Home Tab tweaks that I'm aware of, the other is Max Manila.
There is no other way unless you learn all of the scripting for manila.

Creating a new tab in HTC Home Customizer?

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 this cab exist????

I may be interested in displaying another home screen other than the HTC. I like several others but I really enjoy using the "quick" contact tab on the HTC home screen. I love being able to have several "quick contact" tabs to call my daily contacts etc..
Is there a stand alone cab (program) so that I can incorporate this feature into other home screens?
I even like the HTC Plus but it does away with this feature.

Not sure where I got it, but this cab works GREAT. You will 3 additional items in your Today Items list: Dial Tab 1, 2 and 3. Each can have 5 or 6 contacts on it.

I've used Ultimate Launch to integrate this into a custom "cube"-type app. Just added HTC Home as a tab and it appears like normal, but you can swipe it aside and open other sides of the cube. Works super fast. I also use WeatherPanel and TodayAgenda as tabs along with several other tabs filled with programs and such.
It is commercial software, but well worth it. FWIW.
I'm sure there are other options.

Got a screenshot?
Thanks I will give this a try.
Thanks this is close, but is there a way to assign a tab to these dial tabs so they won't take up so much screen space?? I guess what I am saying is not making it a plug-in on the today screen I guess.

Adding Tasks to TouchFlow?

Is there any way to add tasks to show up in the touchflow homepage, below the calendar?
Nobody knows?
i wanna know too
me too... I use tasks and prefer that to show up instead of calendar appointments.
Another task question...
I would like tasks to be added to Touchflo 3D too, but I'm guessing we're going to have to wait for the next version!
In the meantime, I have another task question; is it possible for tasks to just show active tasks that have "started"? e.g. if the start date for a task is next month, then I don't want to see it until then, unless I view "all tasks". I've just upgraded from a mobile 2005 device, and this is the first feature I'm missing!
Thanks for any help!

yeah...ane idea how to add task in the home screen...i so miss it though i like the Flo3D interface very much...adding the task option below the calender or instead could be great...ane ideas please...
thanks
With this version of TF3D it is unfortunately impossible.
yup i miss Tasks on the homepage too, the only alternative i found is adding it to the Start Menu so i can access it quickly.

Seriously?! No tasks on the home screen without disabling TF3D?.
Honestly.. ..every time I get a new WinMobile phone, it feels like 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. Ho hum...
(at least that's an aggregated 1 step forward... ;-) )
Million peoples aks for this before. Just use the search or google.
If it is possible, we make the solution public! Just wait...
A good solution I have found from helpful guys here is to
1 - install Second Today (found on these boards)
2 - registry change one of your soft keys to Second Today so you can flick between TF3D and Today
3 - install a today screen plugin (I like Pocket Breeze)
Then you have the best of both worlds and if you like tasks, as I do, you have them, notes etc all on your screen no harder to get to than scrolling home in TF3D
Oh and also if you wallpaper it with the same image you hardly know you are in and out of TF
Yeah I can definately recommend SecondToday too
Integrating Task-list to TouchFlo3d
I've been looking around a while, and so far with no luck for a fix for this.
So, the question is: Was the call log tab discovered in TouchFlo3D a pre-coded and hidden tab, or was it coded from scratch?
As far as I remember, it was discovered... But it was coded from scratch, can someone prep a task-tab for the TouchFlo3D?
This will be interesting, if only i was a programmer.
looking forward to this realese if someone would be willing enough, you are my heros
HI,
I solved that issue installing the Second Today application and using the Pocket Breeze plugin.
But I would also like to view the Tasks in a Native Touch Flow Tab.
Regards,
Jose
A tab with task and appointment info sure would be nice to have...
Tasks tab for Touchoflo 3D
Has anyone developed a new tab for Touchflo 3D (like they did for Call History) that would work with tasks? It would be great to be able to view and change the status of tasks on the fly...
Hey there! Remember I posted a similar thread for a while ago, didn't get any solutions then, but maybe this time
AFAIK the "recent calls" tab of TF3D hasn't been developed by anyone here. It was always there, right from HTC - just not used.

Function for Contacts is now video call after official rom upgrade ... HELP !!!

Hey Folks
I upgraded to the official Hong Kong ROM upgrade on my HTC Diamond & whilst impressed by the speed improvements I have a major bug that annoys the hell out of me & thus hope some genius reading this can help fix the problem
On the home tab using the "phone" icon it then shows recent calls. However the left hand button that used to show "contacts" now shows "video call". I never want to make a video call & contacts is far more useful .... but there is no obvious way to change the function
Hoping someone can help
Chill dude.
This ain't a bug, it's a feature.
Personally, I do find video-call usefull, but ill prefer "send SMS"
Do U really need contacts? You can use the keypad T9 to find the person U want to call easily...
Circle your finger around the middle button and it rips thru contacts!

Use your favorite registry editor to navigate to [HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila] and change the following values:
"HomeLSKPath=addrbook.lnk" 'that's the application you want to use
"HomeLSKText=Contacts" 'that's the text that will be displayed on the left soft key on your Home screen
Do a soft reset.
Now your Left Soft Key will display Contacts, so when you press it, you shoul go directly to your contacts. Enjoy!
I've changed mine to Comm Manager.

Do you know the keys for the phone app? I bet there are 100 people wanting those. I think that is what kgb-agent is looking for.

I don't have a clue how to change softkeys within the phone app, sorry. Looks like I have misread the original post...
Thanks Heretic & others
Yep ... me & 1000 others want to change the key in the phone app
With CT's rom version 4 if I tap Phone soft key on Today screen then tap the little phone icon between the video call and menu softkeys it removes the keypad and leaves me with last call and contacts list...
No ideas anyone .... it is really bugging me
For me i just disabled the phone skin with the Advanced Config tool. It reverts back to the old WM6 design. I still prefer that. Do note that once u do this, the vibration when a call connects is disabled.
Hey KGB-Agent, I have exactly the same problem...and it is bugging me as well! I upgraded my dutch ROM yesterday :-( Another problem I have is that when I look at my contacts the SIM contacts are not displayed, even when I configure this in Advanced Config Tool...HELP! Anyone else an idea how to fix???
Your contacts are opened when your in the phone app, just scroll! why do you want it to open another contacts process when its already there?!? up and down or as i already said circle the middle button with your finger
Hi Blaze,
Circling with my finger in the middle button doesn't work for me. Furthermore, with "Contacts" I could quickly scroll down with the Alphabet on the right to f.e. the letter Z. The way you recommand it takes me ages to get to the "Z"!
I called the HTC helpdesk, they advised me to do a Hard Reset. Of course...that didn't work...:-(
Go to start and choose contacts its the same screen.
I agree the videocall is a bad choice from the makers of this rom.
Most people do not use this kind of calls.
Grtzzz
I have the same issues with the loss of functionality Ries
I cant believe there are not more complaints
I emailed HTC 4 days ago with no answer :<
@kgb-agent: I phoned the helpdesk. They said I had to do a hard-reset!?! I couldn't believe it, but okay, I tried it...and what do you think: I still have the problem! :-( I guess we have to live with it...bad choice from the developers...
same problem
up
Two things:
1) why don't people use the smart dialling feature? this is where when in the phone keypad, you just spell out your contact using the alphanumeric keypad (it uses T9 to search) and it displays your search results in real time at the top of the dial pad... MUCH easier than the contacts screen - try it.
2) circling the middle button with your finger does NOT work for me, i have no idea how that is working for you since the diamond is not meant to be able to scroll using that 'wheel' unless you have installed some 3rd party software for it, or its unique to your ROM/region.

Show tasks on the htc sense home page

Hi all
Is there any way that tasks can been shown on the home page with htc sense?
at the moment it only shows..
time, calendar and missed calls.
I want it to list tasks as well...
wm6.5 manilla 2.1
cheers vjc
Mmmm...
I asked the same question about a year ago and got absolutely no response from anyone. That was in the original Diamond forum. I guess nobody here is task orientated
It does seem strange to me though as this device is aimed at the high end business user... tasks & appointments would be no.1 on the list
I gave up trying to do this a while ago and just put a shortcut to tasks on my homescreen. Anyone with an idea, please come forward
**** didn't see this topic, got a same question.
I found out that your appointments will be show when you do not mark them for a whole day. This way you will also be able to see them in your lock screen.
Sorted
Do you want to know i've sort it out? Simply quit using sense! That way i've got my td2 working faster and can have calendar and task events and unread e-mails displayed on home screen. Plus, when i type a contact name and open it, in case i need to come back to the list, that name and other similar still selected. While with sense i'd had search from the beginning again. That was driving me mad! start/definitions/home settings/items/ unselect HTC sense and select date/calendar/messeges/tasks
Thx DLX but the questions still remains...
Is there any way that tasks can been shown on the home page with htc sense?
I'm interested too. But I think that question would be better put in the Windows software development forum, because if such a way to display tasks would exist, it would probably work for Touch Pro2, HD2 etc.. and not just for Diamond2. I am in desperate need of such usability.
my solution

My best solution so far was to install ThumbCal and have a quick launch button to it's Agenda view, where i can see all tasks and appointments in one page
Another option would be SecondToday+Stock Tasks Today plugin or any other caledar ap..
Added Tasks to Quick Links
Ive added Tasks to one of the quick link icons on the home screen, not ideal but the only way I could think easy acces it. Tasks.exe is in the windows directory, browse using a PC connected in activesync and create a short cut of it and put the shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory. You should then be able to add it to quick links from the programs list.
