May be u want to put now the SPB pocketplus 4 on the top of HTC home but u cannot move down/up ur htchome or mobileshell...
here is the solution.
Registry Edit...
Look in:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home
and
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Spb Mobile Shell"
Change 'Type' from 5 to 4
You can now go into the usual Today options and put the plugins in any order you want
Or guys, for SKTOOL user can go to Today Plugin option and "unpin" them and they will be able to move freely as you like
we can use htc home customizer right?
by choosing unlock in options menu we can now move the htc home below spb pocket plus,.
wasnt that right bro?
actually i havent tried it yet, because i am not using spb pocket plus,. B-)
bit out of topic but, how do we prevent the weather from auto updating in htc home?

Yup it can be done
After unlocking it can be place in any tab of SPB including diary ,pocketplus ,or mobileshell
Its a really good thing to do as htc home is taking too much space in the today screen, so but having tab option will be as good as havin more space or "multiple screens".
Just abit side track,
Do not install too many today plugin as it will hog ur device of handling dll in the background which will causes instabilities in SIP where custom SIP failed to load well, system lagging is often felt too (even free RAM remains high) because window mobile is weak in this aspect even in wm6

So I've been using QuickMenu for the longest time and I do love it,but I was wondering if there is a better Start Menu replacement that's more finger-friendly.
I have the HTC Touch, so I do realize it comes w/ the larger start menu already., but the program menu, when I choose to run a program, that program menu doesn't close automatically and I find that really annoying.
Plus, I'd like something that looks a lot slicker and utilize the finger gestures betters =D
Have you tried out ScrollLauncher? It's not a start menu replace, but it's a finger friendly program launcher. You just activate it and it lists all your programs on which you can finger flick up and down to see everything. A simple double tap launches the program. Maybe that will help a little.

Well, I'd like to have something to replace the start menu,so it needs to start when I hit the Start Menu icon, and have a similar structure to Quick Menu: Favorite programs, recent programs, Settings, and running programs, etc
Suggestion
Try:

A little CAB file that enlarges your start-menu for fingerfriendly use.
Will look as on the screenshot attached (thanks to google).

I already said that I have the HTC Touch with that Enlarge Start Menu. What I don't like is that when I go to programs and settings folder, and the folder doesn't automatically close after I choose to run an item from it. Plus, I'd like to have something more configurable and also shows running programs that I can close from there

They aren't finger touch friendly. I'm thinking along the lines of Schap's TouchXperience, but without all his bells and whistles, more focused on replacing the Start Menu, Programs Menu, and Settings menu. Think of what you get in Quick Menu, but more finger friendly

Wisbar Advance 3 has touch friendly features. You just need to turn them on.
You can use a combination of MortButtons and FTouch.

Can you take a screenshot of this? I've looked around, but all the Wisbar start menu pics show a cascading menu that is not finger friendly

With WisBar Advance, you can start any program when you tap the start menu icon or window title. Or even different ones. E.g., I've configured it so that it shows the Today screen for the "start menu icon" and a MortButtons menu with the window title. And the default menu is invoked by tap&hold on the title, so I've got a backup if a development version of MortButtons hangs...

Right, but Mortbuttons is not the ideal Start menu replacement. You'd have to put in everything you want to show in it, rather than it automatically showing what's under the Start Menu folder in your system. Plus, what about the Control Panel?
Imagine the Wisbar Advance cascading Start Menu but a lot more finger friendly. That's what I'm looking for

You can add both the start menu folder and the control panel as entries (CP requires new beta). So you can do a MortButton menu with your most used apps, and include "usual" start menu and control panel as submenus.
Do you know SKMenu?
I use it for some time and I'm happy with it.
It let you customize the menus, including start menu and control panel, and create other news.
Now, in the last version, it has a full sreen mode.
Diamond oem (on this forum) has packages for smart scroling and gestures
I have noticed considerable ease scroling windows and pushing buttons with my finger.
I still use QuickMenu 2.7 Is there a newer version?
.Big Tabbed Start Menu
- When u click on menu icon a drop down big menu appear separated into 3 parts the first on containing last running Programs
Second one .. contain tabs for programmers folders when user click on any a down menu appear show Program Icons
a third part is for setting contain 3 tabs .. (Personal - System - Connection) When member click on any a menu appear contain the Icons ..somethng like this
I am also looking for something like this. I used wisbar, but since there are no nice VGA skins + it slows down the ppc a lot I am looking for an replacement. Anything new on this?
well all you guys want (as I do) is quickmenu..... with bigger font size.
Maybe someone could have a look into its dll see if something can be done.
Or email nanling (I think) to ask him to get a doubled version out ?
err I know it's been a while but if anyone's still interested, there's FdcSoft StartMenu
this menu is HUGE
Well so far I love the phone eventhough it feels kind of weak. But I have some few questions on upgrading, usually im good with searching but i guess not this time. So im looking for a way to make things more finger friendly like menus etc, making them able to scroll instead of using a sylus and if possible using T9 on when not using the keyboard. What do you all suggest?
I just got mine too... I have sprint so I started with the Sprint wm6.1 update.
So far I've installed:
s2u2 (slide to unlock)
htc home plugin (you want this)
s2p (audio player)
s2v (picture viewer)
oxios memory
Look at my thread in this section called sprint mogul must haves, alot of good stuff was suggested there
the gullum diamond keyboards are awesome. i use the diamond keypad for T9 while i'm driving. its awesome. link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392197
Great! Now how can I make the start and stuff like that more finger friendly?
So I installed the home customizer and now the screen flip is not at the bottom anymore but in the customizer but when I use it in the customizer it turns the screen the wrong way. What do i do?
Nevermind I did a hard reset. One last thing is when the slider is open do all yours have a movement in the slider when you tap on the screen?
hi-will the hero work without the sens ? i mean will it work with the regular android gui.
like with the tf3d on wm .
thx
Yes it does. Somehow when i press my home button i get the option of either touchflo or home. Not sure how i got it to do this though!
The home one is just the plain android screen..
I got that too, happens if you press and hold home to view running applications. Goes away if you tick the make default action box (until you press and hold home again)
Yeh i noticed that too, also underneath it says something about changing options in settings home etc..
Tis nice to have the option to do this but the fact that you can do it is clearly a bug. I've let HTC know about it (although they are probably following the forums anyway).

It's not a bug lol, the Sense UI home is simply a separate application to the original home instead of a replacement. like aHome, Dxtop etc etc.
also, holding the home button shows you recently run applications, not applications still running =)
Ok i can't do it on my Hero. Why?? i don't know. MY phone is sim free and not from orange or t-mobile. Maby that's why ??
yeah, it only seems to happen on the Orange and T-Mobile ones. It's not supposed to happen at all!
The Ui is indeed just an application, but it is supposed to run instead of the original Home and you aren't supposed to have access to it any more.

If this is the case are the phones faulty then? Do we ring and ask for new ones. ( mine is a bit worn now had it a week)
they all seem to do it. it appears to be a bug in the firmwares.
I'm sat here with a brown sim free one, running 1.76.405.6 and i can not get it to do this, no matter what i try. each method that people have posted to get it to doit, just simply doesn't seem to do it on the unbranded ones.
I saw a preview device back in may, that had the watermarked screen, and that did do it occasionally, but the release one from work doesn't seem to do it.
Normal Android Home On Hero
Guys Its very obviously not a bug, but actually a very cool feature.
If you cant access the original home,
Here's what to do...
Go to Settings - Applications - Manage Applications.
Scroll down to 'TouchFLO' and hit 'clear defaults'
Obviously this will clear the default action of taking you to the TouchFLO or Rosie UI home.
When you have done this every time you press the home button you will have a choice. Home or TouchFLO.
HERE'S THE HANDY THING ABOUT IT...
So far a bunch of apps have either had trouble or not worked at all due to the TouchFLO UI on the hero. And for obvious reasons. So...
Hit home and choose to launch TouchFLO by default (so you don't have the option of the normal android home)
Download Bar Control by the legendary Andrew Schwimmer for free on the market. open it and scroll to home. Click on home and choose an icon from the list. I chose the home icon but go crazy and choose the little android or whatever.
Now you can only go to the TouchFLO home when you press the physical home key but in you notification bar you can tap the home (or whatever icon you chose) icon and go to the original 3 screen android home.
WHY ITS A COOL FEATURE...
When in the original 3 screen android home the sense UI is not taking up foreground processes. as far as I know anyway. Reason I think this is I am a: now able to install and fully use apps that wouldn't work whilst on the Touch FLO home. And b: my Copilot Live Sat Nav works far better with almost no glitches. Thus bringing me to the conclusion that switching homes is a banging idea/feature
Thank you for you time
dmanbwxe
now that IS cool!
even though it is a bug, cos it's not supposed to do it out of the box (although yes, you can fiddle with it) Having the two like that is a nice set up!!
Yet another cool little tweak. you gotta love Android
I registered just so I could say...
Brilliant!

I just spoke with HTC yesterday and asked about this..
Apparently you need to think of Sense UI like TouchFlo on the Windows Mobile. If you don't like it (and some won't) they have allowed the user to choose whether they want the original or Touch Flo.
So looks like it is not a bug, but its actually meant to do this.
Nice going I say, pleases everyone, and also..... Nice to know that the phone is very fast and responsive without Sense UI, meaning that like Touch Flo 3D, its just a tweaking game to get it to work flawlessly and smoothly, which will come in the future.
@dmanbwxe
just to clarify then- after going through all the steps you said there, pressing home will return to touchflo home as it did before, as if nothing was changed, yes? Definitely not bringing up a menu to pick which home I want?
EDIT- double post
I did this and saw a very significant performance improvement, so set 'Home' to be my default. Now I always go to the standard Android screen. In the settings menu the default option is now grayed out and holding home doesn't give me an option. Is there anyway to get sense back? I don't want to keep it, but would like to play with it some more, but mainly just have the option, I guess.
Oh, without going back to factory defaults ;-)
Homeswitcher did the trick for me (available in the market)
Hi I know how to add folders to the main screen and stuff, but i`m after making some folders to put into the main menu so i can put games in one apps in another etc. Is it possible? It`s just my main menu is looking untidy with all my apps and games all over the place!
If it is like Magic and G1, the menu is unchangable and always alphabetical, but you can add folders to the desktop to do the same thing - I use an app called Bettercut to do it, but dunno if the Hero can do that by itself on the options that come up with a long press of any screen blank area...

You have any special themes or how do you reach the pref -> lp widget settings -> facebook -> logon -> allow lp to reach your facebook , and this last allow lp to reach your facebook just dont work! Cant scroll scroll down to it
And when i can scroll down to the allow button i cant push it!

yeah launcher pro is working gr8
It's the first app I install when update to 2.1. Never though of the other launcher again. Especially like the friends widget showing you feeds from facebook and twitter and the ability to reply or comment from your homescreen unlike the crappy timescape which is slow to update and use browsers to do any action.

Holy mother of battery power Changed my phone setup to use Launcher Pro instead of ADW launcher. Having all other settings such as number of home screen, widget placement and refresh time on widgets the same. I have gone from recharging every 3-4 hours to the phone lasting a whopping full day Seems like ADW was clashing big time with something on the phone.
I like the speed and response time. It is much faster than ADW, and there is the promise of more speed once the complete rewrite of Launcher Pro comes Very happy LP Plus user here
I am using this launcher (very good app) but i have a problem. At Android system info in section Tasks I have task "android.process.acore(package: com.fede.launcher)" which is running with 100% CPU.
Do you have something similar?
(my english is not good)
Got the paid version today like the htc sense hope to see clock and weather widgets aswell but awesome launcher turns the x10 mini into a beast.
