Hi folks,
I'm looking for an programm launcher like the programs tab in TF3D, but I'd like to have multiple pages, as the 24 places in the tab are way to few.
Else I want to assign it to an hardware key, so I need an application, that is not integrated in TF3D.
Does anyone know a good app for this purpose ?
I guess someone already made something like that, but google and the forum search didn't bring it up.
Sounds like a job for Wisbar Advanced Desktop, I have 8 tabs on the main screen, 20 more fading in with one finger gesture, or configure a mainscreen tab to directly open a launcher page with 20 tabs per page, where tabs can also be a Inbox, URL or shortcut to opening a program with a given file. Then switch between unlimited launcher pages with one finger gesture per page.
^^ can you please tell me what part of wishbar advance i have to activate to make my screen look like that??
Look at MortScript and Mort Buttons You can add the buttons to start menu, Today screen or to the TF3D Programs page. each button has a full page or even multi-pages you can add apps, commands or scripts to. Really handy!

Its not Wisbar Advance (Task), but Wisbar Advance Desktop

Then you need to install Sergej's free Blackberry Theme to the themes folder of WAD, and activate it as your default portrait mode theme.

that looks really nice ... but how does is look in landscape mode? does it support landscape? if yes, i'll give it a try
Dont use landscape, but the program differentiates between those two modes, so you could just re-arrange the dock and tabs to fit your landscape preferences. For me the key feature was to be able to show unlimited appointments on my main screen.
already tried yota center?
Me I use UltimateLaunch that I looove with Yota

hi Lucas,
the first image you attached is your today screen? we can set wisbar advanced dekstop as our today screen?
Yes indeed, but as a today screen where you have full control of what to put on it!

how to set the WAD as today screen? by disable the TF3D only?
last time i did try WAD, but, i didn't set it as today screen, i need to launch it as other program to get WAD work.
so, everytime you soft reset or wake up your HD, you will see WAD in your today screen?
Just disabled TF3D, started WAD installation, and WAD came up as today screen automatically. Yes, WAD is full today screen, but you can choose if you want to keep the Start and taskbar on the top of the screen, or have it disappear. Most standard Today plugins work from inside the WAD today screen, too.

thanks a lot Lucas, i will try.
Thanks for the ideas.
I'm already using Yota Center and its a nice program.
The only thing is that I'd like to have more pages, cause 24 places is too few.
I'll try Mort Buttons, looks interesting though.
have you tried launchmanager ? it's not free though ...

Thanks just one more question. When launching the Music player or Photo Viewer etc, are they the normal HTC ones or are they customized now?
Are they still easy to use?
Also does all your programs work normally? And if you don't like the WAD, you can easily delete it?

No, they will not be the HTC apps embedded in TF3D. You will set up each icon to open up your own apps. I haven't heard of anyone being able to use the HTC player or album yet as stand alone apps.
Yes they are very easy to use!
WAD will not affect the way your programs run. It is simply a launcher program (one of the best that I've seen yet).
Yes, you can easily uninstall WAD by going to remove programs and uninstalling it from there...although I have a feeling you won't want to after you get the feel for what it can do to your today screen!
Thanks that was a great explanation
just one more question for example do you mean it won't have a built mp3 player or something like that but you have to download a 3rd party one and assign it?
EDIT: I just bought it and installed the Blueberry theme but doesn't show up properly, i wonder why. I'm missing the clock, the calender and whenever i press the box on the right side, a empty grey box opens.. weird.
EDIT: Fixed it up by selecting Wishbar Desktop rather than HD BlueBerry, weird. some parts are still German even after applying eng buttons.

You can set it up to use Windows Media player if you want to, otherwise a third party app is what you will need. CorePlayer or PocketPlayer are a couple to check out.
I haven't installed the Blackberry theme for WAD yet but I do no if you don't have the icons installed in the correct places the theme will not show properly. I ran into this same problem when installing Mallmans Vista theme. As soon as I went back and followed his instructions perfectly, the theme was correctly displayed.
I'm not familiar with setting up different languages so I'm afraid I won't be of any help to you there. You may check out the Lakeridge WAD forum for that.
Here is how I have my WAD looking right now, a tweaked version of Mallmans Vista theme!
Hi all,
Somehow after a hard reset and installing all my fav apps and tweaks I cannot re-arrange the TF3D tabs anymore.
Normally I would go to settings > re-arrange tabs (don't know the exact phrase in English as my TP2 is Dutch) and I could move the tabs order up/down and deselect tabs. Now it just shows a blank screen.
AFAIK the link to this screen just launches a separate executable, so I would like to know where it is located so I can launch it separately through Explorer.
Thanks for any suggestions!
*kick*
OK, so I managed to add a separate launcher to the start menu for this page. But still I get the same page as the picture above.... so this must be some kind of background color issue perhaps?
I would really hate to hard reset my TP2 again as I have just about everything the way I like it.....
If anoyone knows which files are responsible for this page could someone post these filenames and perhaps upload the default stock ROM files?
Thanks a lot.
Hi all,
Is it possible to set multiple backgrounds at the Touch HD with original ROM?
For my home screen I want to use one wallpaper, for all the other screens (email, weather etc) I want to use another (transparant) wallpaper..
Is this possible, and can anybody tell me how to do this?
Argh..
I've read -somewhere- that this has to be possible... But can't find it anymore!
Does really nobody knows if it's possible to set another wallpaper at your home tab than on all the other tabs??
yes, you can use one background for your home tab and a different one for the other tabs. you can install a background for all tabs and then select a wallpaper for just the home screen.

How can I do that??
find the background you want to use for all of tabs, install it and then use the Manila settings to set the wallpaper for your home tab. have you taken time to explore and understand your device? i ask, because this is a simple, easy and straight foward task.

Thnx. I understand my device quite well.. But really can't get this done.
I use the 'background for all tabs CAB' which I've found somewhere overhere. When I use this, the wallpaper I choose is set on all tabs.
When I install a wallpaper, I go to the 'settings' tab, choose 'background' and choose an image overhere.
Where can I find the 'manila settings' for my home tab, to choose another wallpaper for this tab??

I would launch my AgendaOne directly from the calendar tab on touch flo 3d. ssmaho crash my rhodium. Can anyone help me? Thanks
what version manila are you running
i'm running wm 6.5 official version and i'm a newbie. Thanks
ramap calendar tab on touch flo3d
anyone can help me?
this is proving to be a task...are you wanting the left soft key to switch to agendaone or the right...not sure if im able to do this but im looking into it
without hacking deeply in the registry, a workaround is just to put your app under the PROGRAMS TAB.
it's not the solution you want, but this was what I had to do with Goodlink.
Dont know if there's a way to redirect all the agenda items from 3rd party into the native Calender.. or some other means...

Unfortunately what youre asking for cannot be done
In AgendaOne go to Menu>Options>View All Options>Global Settings
Change "Use as Default Calendar" to "Yes", then when you use the Calendar soft key it will bring up AgendaOne.
Can also reassign PTT key to launch AgendaOne
These were my workarounds for that. Hope it helps
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.
