Carousel & Tasks? It's possible? - HTC Excalibur

Is there a plugin or something else to add tasks list to carousel in WM6.1?

Fully seconded. Since Facade no longer works with that homescreen there's no solution for checking your tasks. Biggest headache so far with 6.1 and can't wait until there's a work around for it.

It would be great to get a list of all the available items that can be used under the new plugin.
The ones used in the default are:
CClock
CHome
CAppointments
CWelcomeCenter
CWindowsLive
CMusic
CMyPhotos
Settings
I cannot see a way of getting a complete list from the plugin.

Thanks! I've played with registry ... there is no keys available.

Showing Task List on Today Menu

Hey all, I can't seem to figure out how to display the tasks on the today screen (instead of just the number, the actual task list). Anybody know how, or know of a cheap/free plugin that'll do it? Thanks!
Nevermind on this, found a great free plugin: TasksPlus 1.4.
Works great with WM6
Default task list dont display the actual task names and stuff...you can also try todayagenda...i perdonally like that as it displays calender appointments along with tasks and many other things.

AM Task Plus (and also Calendar+) are one of the most usefull pluging I ever use. A must in my Today screen.

How do you hide Call History

Just want to know if there is any way to hide the call history on the main Home page.
I find it useless as it's good for the initial stage of reminding me of a missed call, but other than that it's wasted space.
I would prefer to have more space for calender contacts.
What you're asking is not easy...... You have to use manila editor, search it in this room. Unfortunately there aren't lots of better solutions, if you take my advice you 'll have to replace Manila with somethig else.
For instance, you could use a classic today screen including in it the PDC (Pocket Display Clock, see on www.freewarepocketpc.net) and if you want a calendar with wider features than the standard ones you can install TodayAgenda, it's free and has lot of display options (it basically replaces both Calendar and Task plugins with a more compact and customizable one).
You see, this is a "static" solution, that is you haven't a dynamic plugin like Manila in which you can change tabs and views using you fingers, but a simplier classic plugin with a complete agenda tool..... I don't know what you 're looking, but if you have Manila and you are looking for something else, this will be good for you....... TodayAgenda is the best for me.
See you

Application Launcher

Hello @all.
After looking around many posts and installing some promising tools, i´m still looking for a nice and free application launcher.
It could to be very simple. Just starting as a programm (because i want to link it to xperia2 panel app launcher) and were i can setup app-groups and within them the app-links to start the programs.
FingerPoint and claunch are looking great, but unfortunately do not work proper on X1
of course, a configurable panel would be more than cool
What you need is SPB Pocket Plus. It is the best thing to do what you want, believe me. I have tried about 10 launchers. Alternatives are UltimateLaunch, which comes with nice effects but it is way too slow. Speed is the most important thing for me because I can't wait 2 seconds for a submenu to open. Another alternative is SBSH iLauncher. It is about the same as SPB Pocket Plus BUT it has less additional features, included battery meter is crappy, configuration is more difficult and I have not been able to find a serial, so if you do not wish to purchase it you have to search for a cracked version. For SPB Pocket Plus you can get a serial and always download latest updates from www.spbsoftwarehouse.com
I recommend using an additional launcher without Submenus to quickly access the apps you use most. For this purpose I recommend Elecont Launcher with all of the animations and stuff disabled. It is not perfectly fast but better than all alternatives I've seen regarding design.
Thanks for the tip! I was looking for an application launcher without all these unnecessary information about batteray, storage card, wifi and so on. I don't need 3-4 programs with all these information
Elecont Launcher provides fast and easy way to start your favourite applications, URLs, documents or control panel items directly from Home/Today screen.
Spb Pocket Plus is a good program but there are only ugly skins and a lot of unnecessary apps.
@Doc_Debil : What Panel are you using on the Top ? With Telephone Wifi Bluetooth ON/OFF ?
Looking for such a Plugin.
Thx for Info,

It's the Resco Contact Manager 1.11.

Doc_Debil... I been searching for that same wallpaper you have... any chance you can please email it to me? I would be ever so appreciative.
You've got a mail
One more "Hello" @ all,
thx for the tips.
Meanwhile i´ve found "Mort Buttons" and it does exactly what i was looking for... and it´s free !!!
There are some button-skins to download and you can setup your own icons for each menu or application-link. In addition there are some menu-animations to choose and they are fast and smooth enough (for me).
Have a look at it at

[REQ] Tasks on Sense 2.1/2.5 home tab?

I know custom tabs for Manila has been discussed many times before, including one for tasks. But my question is different - is there a way to add tasks on home tab? Like replacing the call history or calendar entries. That's the only thing I've always missed in Manila - seeing if I have any active/due tasks right after I unlock my screen.
None interested?!
I'm definitely interested! I have no idea how to do it but I would love to see it. I've thought about this many times.
Well, obviously it makes only two of us. It seems is either unwanted and/or impossible..
+1 pls.
Sorry I have no clue how to do this
Yup, +1 here, makes 4.......
I don't know of a possibility to add tasks, but you can use this

You can place a today plugin, like TodayAgenda or some other Tasks app. to cover up for example the calendar part on the home screen. Or you can add it to the Operator tab.

This is actually pretty straight forward if you follow the steps correctly. This is the way I did it to put messaging on the home screen.
Install the 2D TodayPage cab
Stop TouchFlo (Start > Setting > Home > Items and unselect TouchFlo)
Soft reset (may not be necessary but better in my mind)
Run M2Dtp config from programs page
Press and hold the red area next to plugins lable
Select Tasks (or whichever you want)
Leave Window at Window_00
Set x=10 y=240 w=220 h=60
Choose M2D widget page (Home)
press apply
press menu
press OK
Start TouchFlo (Start > Setting > Home > Items and select TouchFlo)
Switch to another tab then back to home and it should be there.
NOTE: You may need to experiment with the X (Left) ,Y (Top),W (Width), and H (Height) but they should place your plugin right after the calendar
How about Sense2.5.1922
Yeah.. well, I am more interested in latest Manila 3D - Sense 2.1/2.5. Apologies for not specifying that. Adding it to the title.
I change the right soft-key of the Home tab in my Sense 2.1 to "Tasks"..
So, if I want to see my tasks, I just tap the right soft-key..
I would also really like to get Outlook Tasks incorporated into Sense!
As part of the 'home tab', the 'calendar tab' or as a separate 'tasks tab'; either, some or all are fine with me ;-)
It surprises me that Microsoft has downplayed Outlook Tasks in WinMo. In Outlook it is easily accessible and a really useful tool for 'appointments or To-Do's that are not strictly time-specific'. That at least is how I use tasks.
Therefore it is really annoying that you have to open a separate app (either MS' own or something like pTasks) to access them in WinMo.
To have Outlook Tasks show up in the calendar I have to use a full-blown program like Pocket Informant.
It's also strange to me that HTC has overlooked the incorporation of Outlook Tasks in their otherwise excellent Sense-UI!
I'm even surprised that the great programmers frequenting this fine forum seemingly does not think that Outlook Tasks is worth incorporating into Sense.
Apart from the ease of access that comes with incorporation into Sense it would also enhance the general 'user experience' to be able to access Outlook Tasks in the same UI that lets you access the other Outlook-functions like mail and calendar!
Hopefully someone will recognize this 'oversight' and remedy the situation soon ;o)
Does anybody know how to make Tasks beeing displayed on home tab? (the way appointments and other calendar entries are)
Shortcut to Tasks is not the way out - it would be perfect to have 'to do list' always on, under the clock

Hello!
It seems what you are using lua scripting in your mod? Can you create mod with tasks instead of appointments?
I'm not the only one who dreaming about such mod . There are many people using tasks without any appointments...
Best regards and sorry for my English.

I'll try to add it.
If it's possible it will be in a future version.

Argg, I really need tasks on home page.
I'm about to remove Sense from my device and go back to WM today screen just because I can see tasks...
I agree to the best solution I found is installing pTask and make shortcut on the homescreen.

[Q] Simple SPB Pocket Plus alternative + profiler?

Hi!
I'm looking for a application that would add program shortcuts to the basic WM 6.1 home screen. Just 6-10 shortcuts, no tabs needed. Something like HTC Home or SPB Pocket Plus (annoying tabs, too many unneeded features).
I tested a few programs like this, but they made too many changes to the start menu.
And it would be cool, it that or another application would allow to quickly change phone profiles (normal/vibrate/silent) either by a programmable button or better by shortcuts on the home screen.
Please recommend, thanks.
Resco Conact Manager comes with a plugin for what you want
