Need a good schedule/task/appointment app - HTC Excalibur

Anyone know something good, i want to be able to see it on the today screen or if not its ok too. As long as it shows me the time, date, and appointment. Something like i saw somewhere on this board, i've heard of facade but is there anything else?
link to the image -
if its not viewable this is the direct link: http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=40944433yu3.png
so something like that is good, any suggestions? Thanks, preferably something free.

I typically use the appointment program that comes with the phone. The stock one...
Anyways here ones I have used before...
eXtreme Agenda CLICK HERE THIS ONE IS AMAZING THOUGH YOU WILL LIKE IT...
One Agenda CLICK HERE THIS IS ANOTHER ONE I FOUND WHICH IS NOT BAD AT ALL...
See which one you like... Try both out and let me know which one you like...

@jdoggraz
You mean the stock one with 6.1 sliding panels??
Either way, does it show the TASKS on today screen? If not, how do u manage it?
I use Papyrus, but it doesnt have a today plugin
Original Poster, Facade is good, and if u can tweak it, u can show just what you need. I was a huge fan, until the sliding panels came along...
Cheers

Quick answer, you cant have that kind of plugin on 6.1
You only can on 6.0 or below

Yeah thought so too
Facade and other today screen plugin people might be cursing microsoft for bringing up such a panel thing..
That said, how come no one ever designed anything that can display tasks on a sliding panel...
Wishful thinking...

What was the name of this app?

I lost this .cab for this app I got from one of Custels threads but for the life of me I cant find it again. I think it was called O2 or something that allowed you to have shortcuts on the Todays screen with tabs and I think it allowed you to end running programs also.
Anyone know where i can find it or whats its called?
Thanks
x-button 1.5

Sounds like O2 plus
Thanks for the quick reply but I dont believe thats it. The program allowed you to have app shortcuts for whatever you had loaded on your phone. It also allowed you to have these shortcuts seperated by tabs. choice of large or small shortcuts etc etc. The close software function was on the lower right corner and looked like a white ball and when you clicked on it it gave you the close apps or configuration options. Hope thats a bit more clear.
Does it look the third bit of the screen in this post?

If so - that's O2 plus
If it is -- there's a download of the CAB later on in that thread - about 2 pages on
may be iLuncher?
O2Plusv2.3

I think this is o2 plus, if you can wait till later I have a cab for version 2.3 which I use, it also allows profiles etc on today screen.
I do believe you are talking about SPB pocket plus.
This may be the one.
It was o2 plus... Thanks a million guys!

You may want post what you've tried already so the suggestions that come through won't be plugins that you've already written off.
I'm currently in the process of testing SPB 3.0.1. Still not sure if I like it enough to replace TF3D as it doesn't allow total integration with my other apps...Resco contacts, sms chat.
I guess you are right.
For starters, I have installed SPB 3 and WM7 black skin..it is very good..not the best but good, I like it
So far I have tried:
×Throttle launch (not good, graphics were blurry, guess it is more for VGA , but could be OK for VGA device)
×PocketPlus (too much stuff, didnt like it)
×HTC Home (I dunno why, but I guess this plugin did something bad to my phone, it acted weirdly, although it provided informaton I wanted, I did a painful Hard Reset and after that everything was OK)
×SPB 2 (I used this for very long time, but I got bored from the graphics and I liked and hated Now screen at the same time )
×PointUI2 (this was freaking awesome, very smooth graphics, but I lack WVGA skins and applets, good skins were VGA only and I couldnt switch to my today screen, which I do sometimes to check how much have I called already)
×rlToday (this one could be great, but It was very small on my screen, I could hardly see the clock )
×this is all I remember what I have tried
Now I am using:
SPB 3
HomeScreen++ (I use this only as a Call Timer, but would like to use it wider, but dunno how , does someone have an advice how to get a MAX out of this prog?)
And I have Spb Wireless monitor and Spb Backup on my todayscreen.
Thats it. So I guess I have tried a lot, but still am not absolutely satisfied.
What I really wish for is something like Omnia today screen..Ow how I would like to drag and drop widgets...I know FEWidgets can do this but I dont like how it looks...
And what I would like to have mostly is somekind of desktop with Icons and stuff...ust like a normal PC....
Thx for replies guys.

how do you know which version is the right one?
are there any pics of the software in action somewhere?
Well it sounds like you've tried just about everything lol! You didn't mention Wisbar Advance Desktop I see. This is the closest thing I've found where you can have the look and feel of your desktop PC.
Check out Mallmans Vista Theme here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468153&highlight=Vista+Theme < Check out his site for more themes here > www.swampthing.net
Ow
You see, as I said I didn't remember
I tried WAD already, but again, some things are not to my liking.
I guess I am very demanding
thanks for your helps guys.
I guess I will stick with SPB 3 for some time.
Although Id like to make my own theme but dunno how.
I made a thread about this, hope someone will throw some letters in it
Thanks.

Tasks on lock screen app

I was looking for some sort of a solution of this with no luck, any tips welcome.
Basically what I was looking for was an app or a tweak which would show TASKS on the lock screen (the screen when phone is locked and you have to use for example a slider (Miri rom) to open it) since there is so much empty space and there is no reasonable way to put the tasks on Today screen.
Any ideas and tips very much appreciated.
hmm, i think S2U2 is capable of doing this. it is a free screen locking application.
according to the changelog here:
http://htcwinmobile.blogspot.com/2009/06/acs-s2u2-v201.html
it is capable of doing it, but i've just had a quick look in the applications settings (i have it installed) and can't seem to find the option, but it would be worth a try
S2U2 does show tasks icon the lock screen but it is only a figure(how many tasks are scheduled). If you use the appointments these will show as full descriptions, until completed, and you can have up to 7 appointments over a number of weeks (I think its about 4 weeks).Really good and I have no problems on Duttys Rom 6.5 R11
thanks for the handy pointers, will give it a try.
hmm, so I've tried that and I'm not very impressed. I'm not particularly keen on the whole S2U2, seems a bit cumbersome and overall like an "i" wannabe... there is somewhat the option of displaying the tasks on the lockscreen but as far as I'm concerned there is no way of removing the whole S2U2 interface and keeping just the tasks..which is, ultimately, what I'd want.
Thanks for the tip anyway but don't think this is gonna work.
Can't believe I'm the only one trying to get this sorted(!), it is such a fundamental thing to see tasks frequently without having to access something..even my old N95 did that right.
Anyway, if anyone knew about something, give us a shout.
Cheers

For years (!) I wanted to have my tasks on todayscreen (and/or on lock screen). I never understood why this was possible only on oldschool-WinMobile-todayscreen WITH special programs (SPB Diary). I believe it's a BASIC feature - and like you I asked myself if really noone needs this?
After getting my new Touch HD I love to have a stylish todayscreen - but I hate not to see appointments/tasks (neither with manila nor winmobile 6.5-today).
So if there is ANY solution: YES I want it too!
I could have probably lived with S2U2 as long as the tasks would be at least showing by themselves rather than you having to press & hold on the icon
...that's like as close it gets to the desired result...future s2u2 update might fix that but again, you have to get the whole app (for locking) to get this small, though very important feature... kinda disappointing...
I`d also like having task on today or lock screen as old non colour Windows CE devices did. Why had disappeared? I don´t know and I can´t understand. I hope somebody can help us.
I want it too please. I would like something like Lockinfo for the iphone.

ROM for Heavy use of Calendar

After searching over and over i couldn't find a ROM that fits my purposes.
I need a ROM like the one on attach, that could use the whole screen for the appointments. I need to see all the time the things i have to do.
I hope you can give your opinions.
regards
That Looks like the imq cab file thats part of the iphone fish theme, ive never seen the calendar tho.. part of it.
It´s just Facade
Hi there,
your screenshot shows the prog "sbsh facade".It´s a homescreen replacement. Just google. I think there´s no ROM with Facade, cause it´s commercial.

Recomendations?

Ok i tried ricky rose rom, dang thing keeps randomly shutting off and i have to use a power cord to restart the phone so here is my question.
anyone know of a simple rom that allows for texting, mms, sms, good camera options, and chome settings? would like it to also do bluetooth well. other then that i want a very simple vanilla rom.
thanks cause i dont have time to try all of them so any points in the right direction would help alot.
There really isn't that many to try the best bet is to set a day and try them all find the ROM that suites your needs.
Regards resets that will be your battery "based on that the only other users in thread with same problem was battery"
If i was to recommend a ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5316523&postcount=2
Thanks ill try that one i tried one of rick remakes of a 6.1 but didnt like some of the homescreen bars. have any idea how to edit them? i would like to remove from say the message bar the email stuff and/or remake a bar to show only messages, mms, missed calls and voice mail with the counters when its minimized if i could figure that out i would have a minimal screen and would suit me perfectly.
yah i was thinking it might be battery to gona find out by buying a new bigger battery off ebay
If looking for a battery find the simplo 1550 they aren't cheap but will provide days of joy and last far longer than any other generic battery.
I'm very minimal myslef but never found an issue with messaging as all on one bar in Kavana Ricky Remade then i only have programs/my favs and settings panel keeps RAM free, but then i use SmartToolKit and folders to make it easy "mind you it's been more pimped so the gf doesn't ask silly q's of how to work it"
lol ill keep a eye out on that battery is it a big battery or just a larger amp one? i did have troubles with smarttool once so dont like it all i need is celetask and chome just wish chome would allow me to edit some of the bars in my case id love the clock on main screen as main bar with messages displayed in it for normal txt messages where i click the clock and it takes me to inbox ... would be nice to also have the missed calls counter there to...
btw any idea of other java options can be setup? i would prefer java thats on my old behold instead of the one here, it seems the one here has a input error with a program i use for my check book, worked flawless on my behold but now with this java it adds a 0 for some dam reason...

regarding the panels , check out the chome configurator thread on the sticky, theres also threads about custom panels and stuff. Search.
but like Stylez mentioned, Rickwyatt's V24 vanilla with a pagepool mod was my fave for a long time, and I also recommend oOkBa's 6.5 rom , to me it was a very good rom, I used it for the last 6 months that I had my dash.
do you know of any place that sells that battery i did a quick search but came up with nothing so far...
