Hello, I have the US T-Mobile version of the Touch Pro 2, and was wondering if it was possible to tweak TF3D so that the favorite people tab is switched with the MyFaves tab. If you have this version, you will know that you have the option of displaying MyFaves without a home or people tab, or hide MyFaves and have the home and favorite people tab show... I want to have the home tab show as well as the MyFaves tab in place of the favorite people tab. I just think the favorite people tab in Manila 3D sort of sucks and is more looks than user friendly... Manila 2D is definitely easier to use when it comes to the contacts tab. Any way to do it? I was thinking a registry tweak might make it possible but I'm not very experienced with that so I wouldn't really know. Thanks for any info that can be given.
I know this is old but if anyone is searching and comes across this thread, the hack to do this is:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila:// (now you can select whatever home tab you want to edit, in this case myfaves or people) .page.hidden
If you have myfaves display turned off and want to make it appear alongside your home tab, change this value from 1 to 0
If you have myfaves display turned on then you will have to edit home and people registry entry instead and change them both from 1 to 0
Now you can go into organize tabs and select home, myfaves, and people tab if you want.
Is there ANY where I can find a way to display a small calendar of the month on the TODAY screen??
I see small analog clocks by the hundreds. But not ONE little 31 day calendar anywhere.
It would be great to have an analog clock AND the month displayed maybe with holidays highlighted,
and a click-able appointment maker when you 'touch' the day.
Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 WinMo ver. 6.1
Thank U (x) 100 for any help!
Why would this be necessary when we already have the calendar tab?
Use Outlook to insert your country's public hoildays.
If you want quick access to this tab, just tap on the "Calendar" link under "Call History" on your home tab. Or you can just position the calendar tab as one of the first 5 tabs so that you can just tap on it on the slider bar.
I am too lazy to have to press a tab to do that.
That and I want to be able to see both the calendar
and other screen items at the same time.
I COULD make a background pic that shows a 'static' month but...
gee... it's a computer... I'm not smart enough to program a cool
dynamic calendar myself though.
RLCalendar will do what you want and is freeware.
It will display a calendar is all no holidays highlighted and no clicking on it for anything but it will show a monthly calendar.

RLCalendar will only work with the old Today screen of WM 5-6.1 it won't work for WM6.5 after installing the cab you have to go to settings>today and turn it on and configure how big or small you want it.

Yep. I got that; WM 6.1 on this Verizon TP2.
When I open Today->Programs I see no rl-anything, rlToday or rlCalendar.
But when I open Today->Settings->System->Remove Programs, they are
displayed and listed in there:
"rotlaus Software rlToday" & "rlSoft rlCalendar" are in the 'list' of removable programs.
However when I go to Today->Settings->Personal->Today->Items and look at all the items I can turn on...
I see no items on the list that read rlToday or Today or rlCalendar or rlSoft or anything like these programs.
Just the normal items like TouchFLO 3D, Messaging, Device Lock, etc. etc.
I appreciate the help you are trying to give. I think I've finally found a device that validates
my dumb as a rock persona.
Hmm weird, I haven't tried it with WM 6.5 since I use SPB Mobile Shell and it has a nice calendar widget. Might give it a shot this weekend for you and see if I can get RLCalendar to work.

Don't do. I appreciate the thought and effort. But don't just for me please.
I have loaded a number of 'today' add-ins ( and uninstalled them ) when
they screw with my display res. or pixel widths or something.
Not worth it.
I downloaded the 'trial' SPB Shell program and calendar and I will play with that
thank you.
Maybe somebody else has fought this rlProgram wheel and will add feedback.
Thx again.
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602221
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.

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.
Well, after much effort, I was able to get Manila (TouchFlo) 2D installed and somewhat operable on my Samsung SCH-i760. I like it much better than the normal Today Screen for WM 6.1. The problems I have now are... well, I'll just list them below in order of importance (to me).
1. I cannot add any contacts in the "People" tab. When I slide over to the tab, there are the little icons with + signs on them like you're supposed to touch to create a new contact. The problem is when I touch one of those icons, all it does is highlight for like half a second.
2. I cannot add programs to the "Programs" tab. It's the exact same problem that I have with the "People" tab. I touch one of the icons with a plus sign on it, and it just highlights for a second.
3. I cannot change the skin no matter what I do! I have tried installing the .cab skins, and tried using M2DC with .m2dct skin files and it just won't work.
In case you're wondering, I am using mbarvian's patched Manila 2D v2.0 build 19171723 cab. And like I mentioned above, I am using a Samsung SCH-i760 with WM 6.1 Professional running.
Anyone with any insight or advice please let me know! I really appreciate it!
Thanks and God Bless!

Hi!
I´ve been using Thumbcal for about a year now. I had a Touch Cruise where it ran without any probs in Winmo 6.5. (used last version of Thumbcal)
Now I´ve bought a HD mini and I got problems...
I discovered that, when I have an appointment I CAN`T open the app from homescreen... All other shortcuts to the app works! BUT if I delete/move all my appointments of the day so it´s no appointment on the homescreen, then it´s possible to open up the app!
(I have disabled the default calender tab.)
What´s wrong, someone else recognize this? Thanks in advance!
Ps: I also put the question here...
There's no problem with ThumbCal. It's a great app.
The problem lies with the Sense UI. The homescreen calendar link is built to work only with the calendar tab. As we all know, the calendar tab is a crippled, super-slow, useless app.
You'll have to use other ways to bring up ThumbCal. Homescreen calendar link won't work.
Options:
1. Pin ThumbCal to quick links.
2. Use Bsb Tweak to pin ThumbCal to left soft key of Sense homescreen. (Replacing the "Phone" app)
3. Position ThumbCal on the upper rows of Start Menu icons. That way, it will be easy to access the app anytime from anywhere. Without the need to swipe up.
Hello !
have you notice that in thumcal when you scroll to next month it is very smooth but if you scroll to the previews month it is pretty slow ? or is it just me ?

Yes. It is slower when you scroll to previous month. But still good enough. Nothing serious.
Skin
Here is a skin that will give a sence look to thumcal, I did not make it, but just modify it a little bit so it will fit with hvga resolution.
Here is the link to the creator of the skin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646072
And I also attach the zip file that you need to copy in the thumcal directory.

Nice work. This looks good. Although i think the bars (days) are a bit too light. Making them indistinguishable from the schedules under it.

Hi,
can you explain to me, how to replace HTC calendar?
ahead many thx
Kuckuck
replace HTC calendar with Thumbcal
Sure, very easy: open Thumbcal app -- push left-bottom button -- Settings -- check "Set as default calendar" and "Set as default tasks app" -- Ok -- Exit.
Restart your Mini and... that's it! When you push calendar tab on home screen, Thumbcal will be the opening application
Does this app also integrate with SPB Mobile Shell? I read some things about it, but it was on a Spanish website, anybody know something about this?

Are you sure you are using a hd mini ?
Tumpcal support have told me, that this settings do not have any effect aht hd mini. Do you have a magic trick?

It's mostly likely the fault of Sense UI. Mini's Sense is inconsistent and buggy.
Here's how the weird behavior of Sense work:
1. If you have no regular appointments for the day, the calendar app on homescreen will be empty (showing only the word "Calendar"). In this situation, the link works. Touch the "Calendar", and it will bring you to ThumbCal or stock calendar. Whichever is set as default.
2. If you have regular appointments for the day, the homescreen calendar is not empty (showing a single upcoming appointment). In this situation, the link won't work. Nothing happens when you touch it. (This is probably where you're at. Giving you the wrong impression that ThumbCal won't work.)
3. If you have whole-day appointments. The homescreen calendar behaves as if there's no appointment for the day.
Weird. But that's Sense UI.
Try a homescreen link to ThumbCal, or change one of the homescreen softkeys instead. The Sense homescreen calendar is unreliable and useless.
No magic trick, I did only what I have been explained in my previous post. My HD Mini is opening the Thumbcal from homescreen when I touch "Calendar"...
Is working super fine with new skin Barreto SenseHVGA

It won't work. You can open ThumbCal with the homescreen calendar only when it's empty. Trust me. I've been there. I've spent weeks trying to figure this out.
