I currently use the HTC Home Plug and am loolking for something else, anyone have some examples of clocks they use on their homescreens? I would like to see them and please post the cabs if you have them. I would prefer a nice Digital like the Home Plugin but without all the tabs and stuff. thanks.
Cheers!!!
I am using the Samsung clock...for the same reasons you are looking for an alternative to HTC Home. This one can be customized in a few ways - black digital, white digital, analog etc. Here's the cab if you want to check it out...
Cheers.
I really like Samsung Time's look on Today but it does seem to slow my Hermes down apppreciably. Someone on here mentioned it having a memory leak but I don't know if that's true.
I tried rlToday but it's more than I need tbh, I was just after a clock really.
There are a lot of freeware Today clocks all over t'internet though. Anyone have one they want to sing the praises of?
you can get a lot of ideas from THIS THREAD. There are some really nice home screens there and I'm sure the members would be more than happy to answer any questions you have about the apps they're using. If you're willing to purchase an app, check out Spb Pocket Plus 4, Spb Mobile Shell, and actually almost all Spb Apps. Good Luck
samsung clock
I installed the samsung clock
but how do you make it a 12 hour clock instead of a 24 hour one?
I know theres other threads on best calendars for other phones, but whats the best one for touch HD?
If you've tried a few your opinion will be greater
Being a recent palm convert, I'd be interested to know what ex Palm users are using, as I find the stock outlook calendar clunky and inefficient.
ThumbCal
Try a search for ThumbCal. It's very finger friendly and has all the Outlook options plus combines your tasks into the calendar too.
It's not freeware but you do a get a trial period after which you can decide whether it's for you.
+1 forThumbCal
Nearly finished my trial period, so I would be interested to learn about the competition before I splashed my cash.
+1 ThumbCal. Its just awesome
also here thumbcal, very finger friendly
ThumbCal
ThumbCal the best one
is compatible with the "automatic" sound mode like original calendar? example: if i set a riunion for t 8:00 am...at the 8:00 am the phone go to vibrate mode automatically end turn to ring mode at the end

did you thumbcal people try agenda one or the other one that starts with t? and why did u choose your calendar over the others.
Agenda One looks very much like Pocket Informant. PI isn't really suited to thumb use yet, if they did, I would stick with that (been using it for years).
I've added ThumbCal along side PI and it is much more touch friendly. It has flaws, like the month view doesn't really give any useful information, but hopefully this will be addressed soon.
Thumbcal is very very slow at the opening...
After that : a pleasure tu use, but don't close it
also voting for thumbcal
...0.51 is freeware !!!
not sooo many functions as actual version but fits perfectly for (my) normal needs!
in german and english, very simple to use and works great with outlook and TF3D
couldn´t find it here so uploaded it for you:
KEEP IN MIND!
this is a VERY simple version of this great calendar app... you can´t compare this version in any way to actual versions (speed, functions, etc.)
Don't use Calendar apps that much so normally live with the supplied standard. However Thumbcal is so good to use that I will be buying. The ease of "thumb" use shows what can be achieved with WinMob and what other applications should aim for.
The only thing this is missing is different colours, or maybe icons for different types of appointments.
I have used the full featured Super Calendar for a while, but I like the simplified layout and finger navigation of ThumbCal.

I would disagree with AndyCr on this. I use PI without a stylus and its fine on the HD. If you use touchpal to write then you can use PI either in touch mode or in "normal mode" without a stylus.

Anybobody doesn't have problem when starting Thumbcal ?
For me it takes more than half a minute.
Less than 10 secs for me; but probably an app that, once opened, you would keep running in the background anyway?
Timed it at 4 seconds. That is acceptable.
I've been trialing a few of the calendars here's my quick first impressions of each:
Pocket Informant 8 :
cool features: can turn on selection or flick scrolling, icons, dynamic screen position bar on day view, goto today, preview of position. week/goal planner! looks pretty
Sucky things: no year view. can't drag like in touchflo. can't flick scroll sideways to change months days etc.
Agendus 3: No flick scrolling in contacts.. ugly.
can view year quarter.
Agenda one:.. ok. day view not as good as PI
Thumbcal: flicking to change months/years. looks pretty.
month view pretty useless. no year view. Flicking doesn't use flick physics. no contacts.
Calendar touch: to many touches to goto today. no year view. no contacts. almost touch friendly.
Agenda Fusion:
cool features: year view,
Sucky things: looks kinda ugly. contacts not as good as PI
none of them really do it for me. Pocket informant has most of the features that palm has. Considering the extra power of ppc, its a dissapointing compromize.
Can THumbcal be set as the default calender for TF3d? As in, on my calendar tab? or if I click the calendar link on the home page it will launch Thumbcal instead of stock calendar? Thanks!
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,
Kilowatt from Austria
It's the Resco Contact Manager 1.11.
Wallpaper!

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

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?

Hi - so I bought an apple keyboard and it works, well, for the most part at least.
The lack of shortcuts (ctrl+v, etc) makes it very limited for productivity app.
Anyone knows if these could be configured, even manually?
