Normally, on the start-page, the date/time and text for the next "upcoming appointment" is displayed. 1 appointment (if any entered in the Calendar) is potentially visible.
BUT if you have three meetings right after each other, you can get an unpleasant surprise from forgotten meetings suddently appearing with no time to prepare - unless, that is, if you take the effort to go into the calendar function and check the next couple of days. But thats not practical.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could choose to display the next 1, 2 or 3 appointments (just 1 line each) REGARDLESS how many days before they occur - without having to enter the Calendar and click though the days?
IS THAT POSSIBLE????

Try CalendarPlus, it is fully configurable and mimics the traditional Calendar plugin very well!
I use tAgenda, a highly configurable Today plug-in, and am COMPLETELY satisfied with it. Also, IT'S FREE!

I dont want to go into the Calendar...
I dont want to go into the Calendar...
I want to see the 3 upcoming appointments on the FRONT PAGE / SKIN / TODAY SCREEN
Right next to the "x new SMS messages" etc.
OK? Capish?

CalendarPlus displays a configurable amount of appointment, days, etc. on your today screen.
Take a look at the screens at http://mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10
Thanks
With Calendar+ it seems i have lost the "normal" features like
"x" SMS messages
"x" Email messages
"x" MMS messages
?

Strange, everything is working normally here...
However, if I remember correctly, there was some bug causing the list with plugins not showing all plugins if the list happens to bee "too large"
You can show a max of 9 plugins on one Today screen ... so ensure the number of "checked" plugins and the order as well
oops! ... this is on XDA I with 32 MB RAM ... not sure it's the same case with 64 MB or with XDA II
Did you select "Next Appointmnet" or "Upcoming Appointments" in the Setting>today>items>Calendar>Option
You may see a different message on the today screen as you want.

Thanks for the tip, BRosenow. I've just installed tAgenda and I agree - it's amazing. Very much more configurable than CalendarPlus, it seems.
Cheers
My pleasure. And if you happen to be looking for a nifty Today plug-in program launcher, I can recommend TDLaunch. I have been using it for a couple of years on my iPaqs and it works well on my i-mate as well. What I like about both of these programs is their very small footprint.

Hi Guys
Well I've stuck SPB MS 3 on my device and I have to say that it's quite nice to configure and I especially like the wide background with scrolling....
One thing I'd like to know is if any other Widgets will come out from modders/devs or whether we have to be happy with our lot in terms of stock Widgets.
Aldso, to address the battery drain issue....I have a strong feeling that this is related to anothe3r piece of software....as I have had SPB MS3 on my Touch HD (Stock ROM) for the last couple of hours, received a couple of calls and some MMS messages (with constant data connection live) and I am only on 95%.
Comments on either points welcome?

Please, you have posted this almost word for word in every damn thread on the site that mentions SPBMS3, often more than once.
You are entitled to your opinion and what you say may even be entirely valid, but for the love of pete, STOP! We get it, thanks.
And not only in xda !!!
But he's got a point though..!!
OK - he has a point but he's destroying the merit of that point by being a bit of a fool....anyway, do we know if it's going to be easy to create widgets ourselves?
That was really the reason for my post
is mobile shell 3 out already then????
SPB Mobile Shell 3
Hi Guy's
I have taken a look over at Infosyncworld and watched this video http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/9030.html it reminds me a little of the SPB mobile shell 3's carousel.
Comments from page above: "Pros: Brilliant interface, among the best we've seen for a mobile phone. Smooth animation, great colors, sparkling effects".
Cons: "Nobody is building this into a phone . . . yet."
No correlation but striking nonetheless.
I've just posted my thoughts over on the SPB forum,
it is good...but there are also a few things that aren't
1) I do like the ability to change widgets, size of widgets etc, but I'm missing the battery indicator on the professional now screen
2) The call log has already been mentioned, but it's certainly not the best so I wont go there again
3) The now screen calendar, I can only get 1 week to display on either of the now screens. That means that today (sunday), I can't see anything for next week. Also, as pointed out for MS2, the bold to indicate a day with appointment still isn't clear enough..another colour would have been better
4) The phone doesn't automatically return to the Now screen when turned off. it returns to the last screen you were looking at
5) the option to change to two softkeys on the today screen (Touch HD) has gone. On MS2 these defaulted to SBP menu and Calendar I think. I changed mine to SPB menu and Now. The SBP menu still works, but the now gives an error that the "nowscreen file cannot be opened"...and no way to change this
6) I still use my today screen because of the PhoneAlarm plug in. MS3 takes two clicks to get to the today screen, MS2 required only one.
7) the facebook integration only works for contacts in your favourites list
8) the ability to email a contact has been added though, which had been requested so that's a good thing
so..to sum up....I'm undecided on whether to upgrade when the full version is released, or go back to MS2

This is not a problem for me when I'm running MS3. The notifications appear as they should. I've read some people are having issues with the CAB install (although I haven't had any issues with it), have you tried the .exe install?

Read through the thread to find some useful tips with customizing as well!
i have installed both the exe and the cab version. same problem. on startup notifications works, but after i been in startmenu or a other menu the notifications fail to come in notifications of ms3
life style background
i have found that if you use a ratio of 1.6 to 1 shows the background image the best. the size does not seem to matter as long as it has this ratio.
edit: sorry I posted this in the wront thread, I ment to post it in the diamond themes, applications and software as this ratio is for vga. again sorry for the mistake.
decided after some testing to go back to TF3D - I dislike the use of WM to preview the texts and emails - TF3D has a better mechanism for me in that respect...nice UI though.

After trying the SPB 3.0 shell i decided to buy it. I love the way it is customized and the diferent views it provides, but yes i concurr the sms and mail preview of the TouchFlo 3D is way better.
Power off and softreset button from pocketplus?(icon)
does anybody know how to get the shortcuts power-off and the green reset icon function from pocketplus4 into Mobile shell3?
i am so used to switch off by tapping that icon on my homescreen,
but i cant find it in ms3.
OR do you have a better solution for tapping off my HD?
thanx bros.

Today Customize the appearance and the information to be displayed on the Home screen.
OK, I know i will get flamed, but i have searched here, ppcgeeks, and howard forums, but apparently am not using the correct phrase or tag words. Can I, and if so, how can i remove the calender and missed calls from the home screen? i have ready through a ton of threads, i just cant find an answer. Flame away, but please also answer! BTW, i'm not a noob to these devices, i have had a 6700 and 6800, custom roms, etc, and have "tweaked" my TP2 rather significantly. i am pretty close to where i want it, just want to get rid of these last 2 things, then it is a hard reset, and reinstall everything i like. please help!
I know you can get rid of the "calendar" and "missed calls" icons quite easily. But you want to completely remove the links? So for the end result, you want just the clock on your home tab? ie, you don't want to see your next appointments and missed calls at all?
To answer your question, you will have to be more specific with your description. For instance, what items do you have selected for your today screen? Are you using Manila/TouchFLO 3D, HTC Home, or a 3rd party Today plugin? One possible fix could be disabling the calendar from the Today Items menu, or if you are using Manila/TouchFLO 3D, you can customize the tabs and remove the calendar from the list. Maybe you can take a screenshot of your screen so it is easier for us to see what you are talking about.
yep, just want them off the home screen, btw ohyeahar, i am using your skin and love it, thank you very much for all of the work.
i am using touchflo3d, i've taken all of the check marks off of the items list in the today settings screen, aside from the touchflo 3d check
Ok, I see what you are saying... On the "Home" tab of TouchFLO 3D, you would just like to see the clock and nothing else.
I did a search and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424590
In the thread they referenced Diamond TF3D Config, by Sushilange
I searched for that and found this thread with a download link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
I downloaded the cab, installed it but it would not work on my phone
Apparently, this is for a previous version of Manila
I did some more searching and it seems that a lot of people want the same thing as you but I was unable to find a way to do it.
I am going to poke around in my registry and see if I can find a way to modify the home tab manually.
I found another thread that talks about removing the Calendar and Missed Calls:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=456474
There are some cabs on page 3 that you can try or you can read further in the thread where it talks about modifying the xml files to manually make the changes.
thank you, i will weed through and see what i can come up with.
well, the no dotted lines cab worked fine. i used the 590ad244_manila.zip file and replaced the file in windows and the calender is gone, not the missed calls. i attached the files here, thank you to [email protected] for these, i will continue to read through and see what i get.
ok, well, after some searching and fooling around, I tried editing the manila file again, but still have the missed calls text up. also, the above file only removes the calender text, and not the actual button, so if you press in the spot where the calender text was, it goes to the calender. not a huge issue, just thought i would mention it. but still not able to get rid of the 0 missed calls. my search continues, getting closer though.
Hi all,
Question actually 2:
1) I checked but didnt find what I was looking for dont know if it even exists. Is there a standalone program out there that you can install and access from the programs menu so that if for any reason when manila crashes (which happens often) that you can hit start and then tap the icon to re-start manila? Cause many of times Manila will crash or hang and other then powering it off or taking the battery out, you cant restart it.
2) As for the today screen, I dont know thats why I am asking, I was toying with some of the editors posted around for the png and gui, and noticed you can compress alot of the images that appear. My question is, will it make a big impact to how the screen looks meaning jagged edges, ugly etc?, The reason I ask is cause since the today screen has alot going on, and being that manila is sluggish as it is, I was wondering is compressing the images or files, would speed up the loading process and speed up some of the loading from screen to screen.
1. You can use cleanram for this. It will clean you're memory and restart manila. Make sure you don't have manila on you're exception list.
Ive used this before. just saw there was an update thru the program (props for that feature). Just thought there was maybe a simple program that just restarted it. but thanx for the input!
anyone with any ideas for Q2?
Been using the MAX MANILLA rom for about 4 days now. the only issue I've been having is just GUI stuff and txt'n software prob.
EX:
1) the Digital clock will sometimes freeze (no biggy)
2) If I was to send a text on my device to somebody, it wont show up on the screen, I would have to change screens and then go back to my text messages to see it.
3) sometimes the device will show you have a txt when you've already read it.
Same goes for.......if i was to stay in the text messaging program and somebody sends me a text message, I'd have to move to another screen and then come back to the text screen to see it.
Anybody else having this issue?
Update here you guys. I dont know if its the reboot that fixed the txt messaging error or installing the ATT tilt2 keyboard fix.
But now my text messages are working properly. it shows up on the screen as i send it.
Thats great youngWMuser glad you fixed your problem, but it has nothing to do with the topic of the post. If you have issues create a seperate post to solve your issues, Thanx.
lol. sorry. I'm using Manilla and the thread said "today screen and manila itself" haha. That's why i posted on here. And the text problem still is occuring.
Rather than installing a program to take up more space, you could go to Start>Settings>Today, click on the Items tab. De-select Manila (in my case, it's TouchFlo 3D) and hit okay. It will take you back to the Settings page, select Today again and go back to the Items page and re-select Manila. When installing a new TochFlo 3D theme, I do that rather than doing a soft reset. It seems a little quicker to me.
Take a look at this. The "Things you should know" and "History" sections might help.
Just out of curiosity, what versions are your ROM and Manila
JCTerry,
Your right, but in the the 2.5 manila the setting page to get to all settings, still access a manila tab, which is of no use, but you did make me think of another way. Does anyone know what the CPL is to access the all settings page, I could just create a shortcut in the programs menu.
But I am still curious about the compressing of the files for the today screen, has anyone ever tried it?
I don't know if this has been covered, I've looked. But here's my question.
I have a Tilt II with WM 6.5 and HTC Sense 2.5 (I'm pretty sure Manilla 2.5.20133329.2.) I like Sense (after applying several tweaks and cabs to make it more user friendly), but I have a couple of points that drive me bonkers:
1) When I depress the Messages Tab, it brings me to (an HTC) screen. This screen will display a text message i may have gotten two weeks ago. Or yesterday, it seems to be random. It's not even the last text received, which would make some sense at least. I have to tap the screen to open the thread and see the last message received (if it even was from that person). Or I can press "All Messages" and see where the new message is. Why? Why doesn't it go to All messages right away, or better yet, to the most recent text/thread received? Why do I have to get sent to this lame screen first? HOW CAN I CHANGE IT?!?
2) Same with Email Tab, but at least it shows me the emails received. How can I get it to go to the WM Inbox instead of the stupid 3D Sense window?
Basically, Sense messaging was coded by somebody who seems to have no idea what makes Sense. (haha)
Are there cabs or registry tweaks that will automatically take me to the windows messaging formats when I choose one of these Tabs?
Thanx!
