Hi, guys, i don't actually like the Sense (Leo) for several reasons but after all it is a high-end development so i believe it's better than the old manila. It seems we are obliged to have those shortcuts on the home tab which hide the background wallpaper and etc but the thing i hate most is that i dont have the history link/shortcut on it anymore, which for me is really useful. Is there a way to add as one of the quicklinks a history shortcut - I have the "contacts" already in use but I really need the call history menu Im using the final Rota's creation 3.5 and ill be really thankful if someone of you guy can help
So I create a shortcut link.
Create a shortcut key to \Windows\LaunchMSItem.exe w/ "CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS" parameters.

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
hi all, i have searched for this but havent found anything really conclusive.
i was wondering if there was a panel for the x1 which is solely for contacts management/phonecalls, something along the line of finger-freindly or icontact but as a panel...in otherwords a very user friendly contacts panel.
any advise would be much appreciated
regards
pete
Closest thing I know of is the Media Xperiance Panel, but it is very buggy w/ custom ROMS and I wouldn't recommend it.
the closet thing i knew is a software called funcontant
you can try this one i use it when i have lot of contants..
it ca make me easy to fonnd the one i want ti found
You should install SPB panel. It has a customizable screen with 7 pages. You can put a lot of shortcuts to contacts here...
I've seen some orange home screen for spv c550 or c600 mobile. It has two columns and it is very helpfull home screen solution.
Have you tried yet to install that kind of home screen layout.

just google L-Columns.v2.home.xml and i found that you need some orange.dll but i don't know where to put it.
This theme mentioned above has facade and fizz weather in one column.
also orange default theme in SPV smartphone models has nice solution but you cannot access with xml. When i open orange.home.xml there are only few lines. Some basic stuff as title, icon bar and organge plugin function in couple of lines.
If someone figures out how to successfully create columns in a CPR I will be ecstatic. I have tampered with the Columns="" and Rows="" parameters in the Titanium CPR so much, and still can't find a way to do it. For now, I dont actually think it is possible to have a two-column or two-row CPR Homescreen (at the moment). I do hope this gets some attention (and maybe a solution)!

I've found solution and it works.
As i said just download L-Columns.v2.home.xml and install JRulez_OHSP.cab because it saves orange.dll somewhere in the phone.
Now i have RJTime (analog) clock and date on the left side of my home screen and SMS/MMS/Mail on the right side.
I still dont get why every uploaded theme and every thread about home screen design in this Excalibur subforum is about C-home theme.
My personal opinion is that you can create most powerfull theme, most "business one" theme in classic way, creating good xml theme with couple of plugins and couple of programs as RightKey etc.
xmarkom - Can you please upload these files to this thread, or post direct links to them. i would be very interested in making a theme using this concept (and adding it to my CycloneSkins collection). I tried google, but I couldn't find anything relevant.
Thanks a bunch!
(By the Way the "CHome" layout is named because of the CHome panel which is the panel which tells you how many missed calls, SMS, MMS, and Voicemail you have. This panel is a significant part of the CHome layout in terms of efficiency. I believe that is why it is called the CHome layout, although in the 6.5 roms it is the Titanium Layout, and in 6.1 and below it is called Sliding Panels Layout)
any screnshots??

ok but i'm seek of this titanium layout and sliding panels layout because everybody talk about that, and thats all the same thing.
xml traditional home layouts should be better.
Wouldn't agree and if i personally wanted a old home screen i'd stick with WM6 to which is cumbersom looks like a dinosaur and not as tweakable as 6.1 or 6.5.
Can you please upload the files that peeps asked for as a google search with that criteria will get them no where...
please post link, i would like to have this
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.

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.
Hi every1.
I have been searching these forums and many others for a couple of hours now and I still can't find what i'm looking for. Important to note is that I am very new to all that has to do with android in general.
I was wondering if there is any application that lets me change my dock (similar to launcher pro with the ability to scroll sideway) so I can add not just icons but also folders there.
Maybe there is a way for launcher pro to make me add folders already, in that case I would like to know how. My Galaxy S is rooted but I would rather not try and mix with system files since I dont know much about such things. (if it's not very simple or well explained)
My other question is why I can't find widget locker on the android market? I tried finding it through a site called appbrain with the barcode scanner application, but that didn't help either.
Would appriciate any kind of help, i'm really at a loss here...
123 views...please any1?
If I have made myself unclear in some way please let me know, I would really appriciate any kind of help guys/gals =/
So you basically want shortcuts to folders in the dock at the bottom?
I do this by using "Apps Organizer" to organise my folders then while in launcherpro and then selecting the Apps Organizer shortcut in the dock and choosing the folder I want!
oh, so thats how it's done =P Thanks a bunch NorcoFox
That's ok, glad I could help!
Nice hint, but I would raise call
AppsOrganizer / FolderOrganizer create folders on the homescreens, together with widgets and other icons. Let's say on the "active" layer of SGS
I guess the original Tsukimiya's intent would be (well, mine IS) to have such folders/categories in the APP-DRAWER (the all together app layer, in the above notation) instead.
This would let us to categoriza ANY app in different folders. Their original icon/link, not only a copy.... Let's say just like iphone does, on its unique layer
This way I could prevent duplicating icons and forgetting newly installed apps, messed up among such alphabetic list launcherpro or adw realize.
Or, worst case, keep aligned touchwiz app-drawer pages too
Any hint existing on market ?
Till now, I only found TagHome Launcher, but it's a complete home replacement and it isn't at the quoted best-of-breed level, unfortunately
Thanks a lot
Yeah this is something I would be very interested in!
My friend was going through my app drawer and said can't you have folders to sort all of these out?
