Moving the HTCHome today plugin down in the list

I have installed the HTC Home today plugin and now it is at the top of the list of items I can add to my today screen. It is however not possible to move it down on the today screen since the move up/down buttons are disabled for that item.
Is there any way to move this today plugin anyways? Maybe a registry hack or something. I would like to have it as second item in the list and my spb mobile shell as item1.

It is allways verry difficult to help when we do not know which rom you have (name, version etc) which packages you have installed, like a list 1st) ... 2nd)... 3rd)HTC Home today etc...
We also need to know which version of htc home plug you have installed.
Now just a first question...
Can you move the other Today plugins so that the HTC Home becomes the place you like?
Stupid answer but could help...!

U can do it with any customisation software like memmaid or sktools, it's all about a registry setting :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Today/Items/HTC Home, just change "type" from 5 to 4

How to customize the HTC Home Plugin?

Hi.
My TyTN runs Schap's 3.30c ROM version.
I've also installed Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool Ver 1.1 .
Now, I wish to customize a bit the HTC Home Plugin to display more than 3 tabs. I've read at the schaps rom wiki, that the tool should display a "Home" tab. Yet, It doesn't .
Any ideas anyone
Thanks in advance !
Amit.

The home tab will be in settings/today, next to "appearance" and "items".

You can try HTC Home customizer - it can change the appearance of the plugin, number of tabs and more.

Well.. Its just isn't there !
There are only "appearance" and "items" tabs there... Isn't that strange ?

Well, I've installed that app.
Strange - upon running, it looks as it the application does not recogize the installed Home Plugin (was installed along with the ROM installation). Further more - it reports not finding and current settings, nor it finds the current plugin version.
Changing the parameters using the HTC Home customizer application, does not affect the HTC Home Plugin.
so... ????
any new ideas?

HTC Home plugin customiser
Think the today theme is HTC Curve
HTC Home plugin here

He meant Touch Home Plugin 6 tabs with customizable tool.

what i mean is i need a Zip of the htc home skin in touch4.01

you need the HTC Home customiser which connects to internet and lets you customize the plugin background / icons / clock graphics

I think he means the images in /Windows which skin the plugin, so all he would to apply it is copy the images and replace them i the winodws folder.

i downloaded the pictures from the touch 3.01 rom but there's a sharing violation when you try to copy/overwrite/delete the new pictures in the windows dir....
how do you solve that ?

here is what i did: i've installed HHC (htc home customizer) then i set clock appearance (i put the original clock) and after everything i wanted to set i simply uninstalled HHC (because of space and speed)...all settings remain because HHC replaces old files.so you get free space and performances as before but with much prettier clock
cheers

or he could just use the plugin to get the images himself instead of waiting for someone to upload them

It's call "HTC Home Plugin". If it has 6 tabs, it's extract from Kaiser phone. Sometime call "HTC Kaiser 6 button Home Plugin"
To install sometime hard sometime easy. Depend on the released.
You can start reading here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107
Bt the way, I don't like it because it waste the space too much.
If you want a better implyment and no faulty. Try the software name "MobilityFlow Touch Commander".

still did't understand me,i have the plugin already,but the skin(theme) is the original one,i don't like it,i like the one in touch4.01,so i want the image files in touch 4.01 to replace the old skin

ok easy as:
1- download and install home customiser
2- use home customiser to automatically download and install the theme
job done.

DOWNLOAD HTC HOME CUSTOMIZER HHCv08b (not Lite)OR ANY OTHER VERSION AND READ #9 AGAIN........the clock is really ugly

Thank You All ,problem Solved

[APP] TouchFlow Detacher

TouchFlo Detacher is yet another way to simultaneously have TouchFlo 3D and the regular Today screen. Previous excellent solutions include SecondToday and ManilaControl.
Description
So what makes it different? Well, this app is actually very similar to MastSogo's ManilaControl. The main difference is that the author plans to actively develop it for a while, whereas ManilaControl has been a bit frozen in development for a few months. It is also open source, licensed under the Ms-RL. The program is on CodePlex, so download speeds should be much better than the average rapidshare link. Finally, it is in English and not Spanish. Other than that, it's just another solution for the same problem!
See it in action on the YouTubes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk0xWm8PMGQ
Download the CAB and source code here: http://www.codeplex.com/TFDetacher
Installation
As explained on CodePlex...
1. Install the CAB
2. Run the configuration app
3. Enable all the standard Today Items you want to use
4. Do not re-enable TouchFlo 3D in the Today items (if you do, it will undo all your other Today plugins)
Requirements
Windows Mobile 6.1
.Net Compact Framework 2.0
A device that runs TouchFlo3D / Manila
Current features
- Free up your Today screen by hosting Manila outside of the Today screen! TouchFlo Detacher can launch/show/hide/close Manila independent of any other Today screen settings. Now you can have your TouchFlo cake and eat it too! The most obvious use is to assign a soft key to toggle between seeing TouchFlo and seeing the regular Today screen.
- Service runs as a background application (in your StartUp folder) for maximum speed when toggling Manila modes.
- NO ANNOYING SPLASH SCREEN when application launches.
- Service is 100% idle when not receiving messages or controlling TouchFlo, so no CPU is wasted! (Just a tiny bit of RAM)
- Configuration application allows modifying manila.exe location, manila window class, and more, so that this utility can (presumably) be used with other manila versions (such as TouchFlo 2D). This is untested. Out of the box, it supports TouchFlo 3D in its default configuration as seen on the Diamond/Pro/HD.
- Configuration application can clean out the ManilaActivateToday.exe from the notification queue. (That app can interefere with TouchFlo Detacher's operation.)
- Shortcuts to start/show Manila, hide Manila, and close Manila. These can be assigned to hardware buttons (if your device has them) or virtual hardware buttons through the use of 3rd party applications such as AE Button Plus.
- Configuration application can customize the softkeys in both Today and TouchFlo's Home tab. You can use it to not only assign TouchFlo Detacher operations (show/hide/close), but any other application on your device.

I want only to say many thanks for that cab it works very good on my Touch HD ... Great App cardefbel

THE best piece of software I've downloaded. Used it on both Touch Diamond and Touch HD and love it!
Perfect - thanks

Thanks for this awesome app....

Would I be correct in thinking that with your app I can go all out on WAD2 or something and still be able to switch back and forth between WAD2 and Touchflo without all the hassle?

Thanks. Downloaded, installed, and be able to switch between TF3D and my old style today with Spb Diary.

This is not my application, but I realy love it and would share it with y'all.

Is it also possible to have TF3D together with SPB today screen combined whit SPB mobile shell?

Hi Guys,
i add a screenshoot just to share with you the result of this great app.
i have one question, maybe someone of you have the same problem.
i am running the "non TF3D" screen with Resco today plugin and launcher.....if i try to put a background (via setting Today, use picture as background...) no matter which kind of picture i choose, they are opaque.
cant figure out a solution.
thanks and Ciao!

Thanks cardefbel !!!
i can tell that this is the best suggestion i have never got in this forum.
you have got the point at the first shot!!!!!! and i have my second today with a brilliant background.
of course thanks to chaosdefinesorder that playing with the device have found out the problem.
for those are asking about my second today:
Resco today plugin
Resco explorer 2008
that's it.
ciao!

Looks great!
I have tried WAD2 and Spb Mobile Shell and I like many of the things that those things bring that TF3D doesn't. I like them both, but I have not been able to break away from the TF3D which is one of the major factors I purchased the phone. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. We'll give it a shot! Thanks.
Update - I loaded it and it seems to work great. I loaded back my Spb Mobile Shell and seems to be working nicely between. It did take a few tweaks, but it is running fine. One thing however is that when I am back in TF3D my hard home key doesn't work to bring me back to the TF3D home. Any ideas?

Thanks for the program cardefbel but I am having a problem with it....notice that if I'm using the SPB screen it won't go back to TF3D after 15mins.....if I want my TF3D i need to reboot it.....but if I on the TF3D I can swap to SPB anytime.....

absolutely excellent, having my appointments on the screen with a 1 button press to TF3D is awesome

Are you using SPB mobile shell or SPB pocket plus. I tried to reproduce it with SPB mobile shell, but the switching to TF3D worked for me after 15 mins.
BTW, it's not a program I wrote, found it on the net and realy liked it.

I have a problem with WEATHER page
I have started the program
il works perfectly BUT
if i go in the weather page, under TF3D, he changes automatically to today.
Any idea ????

I prefer to have this button for TF3D Home instead of going back to Today

Today screen items

I have been searching for 3 hours, Can't find the answer...
I am running the stock AT&T/HTC rom. I want 1 Today screen that has everything on it that I use frequently: apps, contacts, calculator, etc.
I was using SPB mobile shell, but my "running tasks" icon (in upper right corner) disappeared & I could never figure out how to get it back.
I uninstalled SPB MS and I am back to the stock shell (and my "running tasks" icon is back)...I went to Today settings and unchecked TF3D because I don't want to scroll thru a bunch of pages, I just want all my frequently used items in one place, the today screen. This setup worked perfectly on my Kaiser using SPB Pocket PC. But, I wanted the much bigger screen that Tilt 2 offers.
Anyway, after unchecking TF3D on the today settings...my home screen is blank and when I go back to Today Settings, Items...there are only a few things I can add...like date, calendar, owner info. How can I add shortcuts for apps and games I have installed? I know the Today screen is unchangeable when you are running touchflo but I have disabled it. I tried a soft reset, that didn't change anything...the Windows default isn't any better of an alternative...pls help! I have tried wording my search 20 different ways and I cannot find the answer. THANK YOU!

SPB makes another great solution that will do exactly what you're looking for, it adds all that type of functionality to the stock WM home screen without using any shell interfaces or losing your task manager. It's called SPB Pocket Plus, and details are here.

thanks, I didn't want to use that program because it says its only compatible up to WM 6.0 (and my phone uses WM 6.5)...but I installed it and it works great...w/full screen functionality...was worried about that. THANK YOU!!!

Glad it worked! I swore by that program back when I had WM 5.1 on my Wizard, and it still works great on the latest versions even though few people stay with the stock start page anymore
