BBConnect Home Screens

I am trying to find a home screen that has the BBConnect status in it, by default BBConnect adds its self to the themes that are installed but I want to find the xml code for the plugin to add it to other custom screens. Can someone help me? I tried searching the device for those bb added screens but they don't seem to be listed anywhere.
Thanks

Extra things on the today screen

Hey guys,
been looking around about customising my Touch HD but a little unsure if a different theme can help me here, I really like the current theme I have; which is just default with some extra taskbar icons; simple but effective!
Thing is I want to add notes or reminders or something to the today screen, so I can view things at a glance without having to add them to the calendar, things like a reminder to pick up some beers on the way home, or a reminder to go post some letters or even a shopping list! Though I'm pretty sure I saw an app somewhere around that was called shopping list, would ideally like to be able to dismiss reminders etc by touching them then confirming or something similar, so I can check stuff off as I've done it easily..... at the moment I only have Call history and Calendar on the today screen; anyone know of a way to edit what is displayed on the today screen?
EDIT: I just realised this makes me sound a complete moron lol, I mean being able to add things to the TF3D today screen, otherwise i'd just use the winmo version, however I really like the touchflo interface just wish there was more customisation available!
Also if I download an iphone theme (just to confuse the mac fanboys at uni...) can I easily switch between that and my current theme after a soft reset or something? Or does it involve me editing it via the activesync?
Hope someone can help!

It might be better for you to install something like second today or touchflo detacher.. that way you can switch between touchflo and your iphone theme at the touch of a button..
or you can use the second today to put all the information you want on the winmo today screen.. the screen real estate on the HD is amazing.. and then map your iphone theme to another program and have all three hotswapping on the touch of a button.
Personally I think part of the beauty of touchflo is the lack of clutter on each tab.. adding too much to the homescreen defeats the object.

Agreed. I use 2ndToday & PocketBreeze, activated by the left soft key on the TF3D home page.

hmmm did want to just have it all there to be seen as soon as I turned on the phone, tho after reading more extensively around the internet I see it's just not possible at the moment. However I'll hold out hope that one day it'll be possible!
Might try that 2nd today screen thing, might be a bit of a pain to have to flip between them but hey... needs must. Might also look into properly customizing it to look snazzy as I've seen a lot of peoples today screens look rather nice!

In practice it's not a pain... it's a touch screen so it becomes habit to touch the button or slide the slider as you pick up your phone in one motion.

I did have a go with slide2unlock but it didnt seem to work properly, might have to play with it some more.

Tasks in Homescreen

Hi everybody,
I have a question for you all, is it possible to put tasks beneath agenda and missed calls in TF3D2?
I used it all the time on my TyTnII (Vario III) and I was wondering if I could do the same on my Vario5.
I looked it up in settings and everywhere but could'nt find it

i am interested too

Hey,
I am still waiting for my TP2 to arrive but with my Diamond I used second today (you can search for that). Its a great little application that gives you the best of the 2 worlds, the TF3D interface, and the old today screen which you can see everything on.
I guess give it a try and let us know if it works on TP2

what i would want is an icon in the tf3d of tasks (like mails, weather, market... icons)
is it posible?
(sorry of my english)

Still no answer, can you send a link of second today or post a screenshot?
Cause in my imagination it would look pretty messy and I like my stuff organized and neat

How to remove weather from the home tab?

Hi everyone,

Diamond Tweak 0.5.3_English
or this one:
Diamond TF3D Config Setup v0[1].6.7

Tied both Diamond Tweak and advance configuration tool, none had a feature to disable it, anyone else has a technique??

[Q] Which ROM?

Hey Everyone, I have spent about 3 hours looking here and ppcgeeks to finda ROM that suites what I am looking for.
So i am hoping that some of you out there can help me narrow things down a bit.
my phone is a TMO Touch Pro 2 GSM, unlocked. i currently have a NRGZ ROM installed.
So what I want is to run SPB mobile Shell. I want to be able to use it's SMS messaging features. I want it as quick as possible. I don't need many frills or bloat stuff (though I do like some of the pre-installed stuff on the NRGZ ROM)
I prefer the old top bar with the down arrow (upper right), connection and notification icons up there. (Mind you if there is a way to remove that then I SPB has those same features as well.
Pretty basic, but I can't seem to determine what the best ROM for this would be.
Thanks

Bump.. Please people I am so confused!
I understand that SPB Shell and ROM are different, but tonight after another 1.5 hours on this forum, I am more confused than ever.
Can I change the the theme for SPB Shell and will that over ride all the ROM themes?
Is there a plain vanilla ROM or a ROM that has only the most popular items (total Commander, safeinbox etc?)
Any help would be appreciated. The forums are just overwhelming and my searches aren't helping this cause.
Thanks!

Maybe what I don't like is the touch flo/sense interface.
I don't like the scrolling slider on the footer, or the reading pane step for SMS and email.
Maybe this is why I am leaning towards SPB shell?
Any thoughts on whether this is a ROM issue or is there something I can do to remove the Touch Flo/Sense and the HTC preview pages etc?
Thanks
Rob

Most of the ROMs found here in the forums are WM 6.5 ROMs with HTC Sense cooked and turned on by default. You can disable the HTC Sense completely by going to:
Start > Settings > Home > Items, and remove the check from the "HTC Sense" item.
When you tap OK, HTC Sense will be turned off, and you'll get an empty today screen. Now, you can install SPB Mobile Shell and customize it to your liking.
HTC Sense and SPB Mobile Shell are totally independent from each other, you can have them both on your device and switch between them as necessary. Also, SPB themes will only affect SPBMS and will have no effect on the overall theme of your device.
If you really don't need HTC Sense at all, you could try the Energy ROM called "Titanium" as it comes with only the bare minimum components of Windows Mobile, and is probably the lightest ROM around.
Personally I'd recommend you choose a light ROM with Sense included so you could get back to it whenever you feel bored of SPBMS. Simplicity, Jackos, and NRG Reference ROMs are all suitable candidates for the job.
Hope I answered your questions.
Cheers, and good luck.

Thank you for your help!
I managed to find a the ROM Repository thread and ended up downloading and flashing 6 or 7 of them. I finally settled on an NRG rom, simply because it had the SWYPE input method.
No I have SPB Shell on it and I really like it - almost perfect
Now is there a way I can Change the top bar icons to something more intuitive (IMO)? I saw a thread with a bunch of different themes for these but was unclear on how to install them.
Also, I was wondering how I can change the hard keys functions? I want the HOME hard key to take me back to the today (SPB Shell) screen instead of the program list.
Any ideas on how to do these things?
Thanks for your help!
Rob

You're welcome, I'm glad you found what you were looking for.
And yes, you can change the top bar icons (aka taskbar icons). Just download the appropriate cab file from the thread, and install it on the device memory, and soft-reset.
The hard keys are hard to change, but not impossible. I heard about a program that changes the hardware keyboard mappings, but I'm not sure if it changes the hard keys on the device. Search for something called "keyboard remapper" or "keyboard config".
