Well, I know this may sound sacriledge, but I disabled Touch Flo b/c I preferred my set-up with SPB Plus and SPB Shell, also much faster, but I do miss the fancy weather app. Does anyone know if that is accessible via an .exe or other shortcut or only available via TouchFlo.
Thanks,
James

Wow that looks great! Do you know if it will have more cities available? I live in Ithaca, NY and the closest city available is syracuse, ny which is an hour away.

Does anyone still use TodayPlus? I use it just for my weather but doesn't seem to want to load the weather anymore, anyone have a good weather programme that runs under 2k5?
Pocketweather from SBSH. Cheers Patric

*inquiring minds would like to know*
yes I searched, did not see a thread like this.
Weather Panel. Chad
i'm loving PointUI right now, it has a nice builtin weather applet. When im in Garmin Mobile XT, it has a nice forecast for wherever i am or choose.
SBSH PocketWeather is my favorite... tried WeatherPanel and SPB too, but PocketWeather seemed the most robust and trouble free. Just my opinion.
spb weather but always looking for a better or less bloated one.

Thirded......
PocketWeather 2.
I like SPB weather but the most accurate I find is the Environment Canada RSS feed that I get tru SPB insite. Normally if i see something like a heavy snow in weather i'll tap the RSS feed to get the latest warning and exact amounts.
I love SPB weather. It's simple, clean, and very customizeable.
spb weather for me. i tried pocket weather 2 but there was an overwhelming amount of information.

I agree, but have not found a configuration file to collect Environment Canada forecasts into SPB Weather.. No time to write one for myself.
I've resorted to the Weather Network for weather data.
Weatherpanel
Weatherpanel is by far the beast, extrmecustomizable and fun!
Mobo
weather watcher! ok, it doesnt have a today plugin.
but it shows even single hours.
and it show 10 days!
and its free!
I like SPB Weather but I wish there was a free program that had current weather (ie. Current temp/Feels like/etc)
Weatherbug IMHO. It's only really meant to work on the smartphone platform, but it runs perfectly on my Mogul.
not really a program but i use http://xhtml.weather.com/xhtml/hbhf/77054 as my home page on Opera(replace "77054" with your own zip code). Very quick webpage, almost instant. I used to use HTC home but recently learned about its bloat and have been trying to use more of WM6s built in functions and not rely on third party apps so much. Phone seems alot more stable and quicker from when i used HTC home, PointUI, or anything like that.
I went with SBSH Pocket Weather v2.0.5 .....love the look, love how you can customize it, love that it has soo much useful info but wish when it states & shows its going to snow it would state how much in inches so I have a heads up...
Chicago winter weather can be brutal...
SBSH PocketWeather for me....used all the other ones, and PocketWeather is the one that gets my vote.

Search here and at PPCGeeks for XCast. I think it can be downloaded from TreoCentral.
It adds a line to your today screen and can be set to display current temp, feels like, chance of rain, and estimated time for rain through the next day. All this on one line.
This is my favorite weather program.

spoken like a true ninja
I have both and can't fully decide which one I like better.
I think I like TF3D better, but just want to hear other opinions!
MS3 is nothing more than pretty little shortcuts.... like another phone on the market.... i like both, I cant decide either
+1 FOR SPB 3
Contacts manager of SPB, everything else on TF3D
I personally hate both TF3d and Titanium. I have been using mobile shell for years now and would highly recomend it!
i don't use tfl3d or titanium i use spb ms3. it has many tweaks/mods and or customizations avaliable. also many skins and widgets. spb ms3 for me. been using since spb ms2
spb ms3

Spb Mobile Shell 3
+1 for me on Spb Mobile Shell. I just wish the weather widget would show current temp. Othewise I like how configurable it is and there is a lot of support for it.

But you have a 6800 and probably only use manila 2d. So I'm still unsure, I would like some more advice.

Have you tried TF3D2 yet? They've got it pretty stable now in some of the new roms. It may just very well be the cat's pajamas.

Actually I have a Touch Pro. Had not updated the signature.
I have used the shell for a couple years or whenever it first came out. I like the new v. alot. I usually end up missing the TF3D after using ms for awhile. I've used the TFdetacher app and switch back and forth sometimes. I guess I just want both. I don't care for titanium at all.

For sure, well I think MS is sick if you have a plane WM menu (even 6.5) and you want to cover it up, but when you have all of these juicy ROM's for TF3D then I think I'll sway with TF.
havin used both..i say tf3d2 all the way. wins in eye candy points, looks professional and i think its very functional. but its just an opinion, and you gotta try them both and form yer own mate
Yeah I agree, I have TF3D 2 and love it more than MS 3.0
well im using nfsfan's rom instead if juicy so rhodium manila still needs work here. so ill stick with spb 3.0 atm. they are both great cuz its like an OS in a cab. but a 100% working touchflo3d-2 wins IMO
TF3D FTW!
I vote tf3d Standard. It's stable, easy to use, and easy to customize. As far as mobile shell, i keep on trying to go to it but i always end up coming back to tf3d. No matter what themes im using with mobile shell, it just seems to look unattractive and other than the cool carousel wheel that spins to show the menus, it doesnt have anything that would make me trade it for tf3d
Good, Im agreeing.
I tried MS3 and found it nice but TF3D is still FREE and that is why I'm still using it.

Hello dude ;-)
This is an off-topic-message - I couldn't send you attachment files by pn (the demanded iPhoneToday-Settings...).
So I need your real eMail...
I have searched all over the web, and have not come up with results I am looking for. I am looking for a wallpaper that will make the standard TF3D wallpaper look like the hero/ TF3D2.6 clock. I am actually using S2U2 with the Hero Theme, however that wallpaper does not look right. if anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Well as far as having the 2.6 clock with the integrated weather that's not available ATM but! Here's a link to a panoramic Hero wallpaper http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4330384&postcount=14
And a link to 2.6 icon set for the slider: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547029
Best things available right now without actually switching to a different shell like MS3 and getting a layout like this: http://pocketnow.com/software-1/get-sense-ui-on-windows-mobile
MS3 is very nice and while I've tried this layout and it works well, its at the cost of battery life, that's already not so great on my TP.
Hope this helps bro

thanks for the quick reply, howeve I allready have the wallpaper I am looking for a way to have one work the way the one for s2u2 does with the black square so that it looks like the hero/ tf3d2.6 clock. I also have the icons allready as well which look great. I am also looking for a way to have the wallpaper i am looking for on the home screen and then the standard hero wallpaper on the others.
Does anyone have any ideas on mabey how to photoshop a wallpaper that will work. I have some knowledge with photoshop, however I dont know how to line the black box in the right spot to do it myself.
I'm gearing up to get my first Andoid phone hopefully next month, and was wondering if there's a port or an app already out there that's similiar in look and functionality as S2U2?
thx.
There's Lockbot out there ;-)
It has iPhone lock style, Hero lock style, Donut lock style and even flair lock style!
Good new: it's free except uf you want to download skins (which doesn't even work on my magic) or want the flair theme (which is the ugliest one)
and even free version let you customise your own themes
cheers
Maybe "Lock 2.0" many skins available for this app!
http://de.androlib.com/android.application.com-google-code-slideunlocker2d-BmA.aspx
http://groups.google.com/group/lock2
Thanks!
Lock 2.0 sure looks just like it.
Yes,you can get a free demo or buy full version!
Just bringing this back up since I just got a new Evo and am coming from a Touch Pro which had S2U2. I have tried some of the options on Android, but have not found anything even close to S2U2.
Does anyone have any other thoughts on how to get my calendar entries, notifications, texts, etc to show up on my lock screen (it also needs to look as good as S2U2 did 2 years ago).
Thanks.
Check out WidgetLocker.
I think it's by far the best lock screen replacement, and is fully supported by the developers at the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732986
You should just youtube search "widgetlocker" and you'll see many video reviews of it in action. Note: hardly any of the videos go over the fact that it can change from stock Android slide to HTC slide even to iPhone slide to unlock.
And to rs1990, yes it can add whatever widget you can think of including ones relevant to everything you mentioned.
Funny that you just mentioned WidgetLocker. I am actually looking at that right now. It seems ok at this point, but not as polished as S2U2 is.
I actually think that the problem that I have right now is that the calendar widget kind of stinks. I am looking for a widget that just shows any upcoming events and nothing if there are none upcoming. The default one shows that obnoxious white box that says "No upcoming calendar events," which is ridiculous.
OK, I just found Pure Calendar and it looks somewhat promising. It will allow me to put a nice looking widget in WidgetLocker to show my entries. So, I am going to look into that a bit and see if it suits my needs.

WidgetLocker + Android Agenda Widget + Music Mod Widget + Beautiful Widgets = NO reason to ever unlock
You could try CalWidget

You might want to try CalWidget http://www.androlib.com/android.application.net-eggenstein-android-calwidget-qxjt.aspx - sorry I don't have the Marketplace url.
It's not bad. Can be a bit slow to load up and refresh but it's surprisingly good for a free productivity app. And it works well with WidgetLocker
Is there a way to get something beautiful and usefull like S2u2 for android? i think Lock 2.0 is a real flop, widgetlocker is ok but s2u2 is way better... i would say it's the best lockscreen i've ever seen.
There is nothing even close to S2U2 on android. I only miss S2U2 app from WinMo world. There was so many options/customizations..
I agree with both of the last 2 posts...S2U2 is unmatched on Android. I have "settled" on using WidgetLocker and Pure Calendar. It's ok, but not as good as S2U2.
I agree 100 percent with both of you. WinMo was ok... android is great... but damn... i miss s2u2 like hell.
s2u2 is the swiss pocketknife or Macgyver of lockscreens...
Yeap,
I also miss S2U2 from WinMo. I just bought a new android phone (ZTE Link) and I do miss S2U2. May A_C could port S2U2 for android? Does somenone knows him?
The application I think is closest to S2U2 is GOTO (although its paid :-()
Best,
Jº
WidgetLocker, as already mentioned in this thread, is a very capable, attractive, and flexible lockscreen replacement. There are also others on the market.
I for one won't miss the random "won't unlock" weirdness with S2U2, although infrequent, sometimes I had to yank the battery to get out of it as the screen would be frozen after. SOMETIMES I could long-power press and get the reboot dialog and I could get to a task manager and kill it but usually it was stuck.
Is there any possibility that the creator of WinMo S2U2 try to code that app for Android? Or make some coop with somebody who can do that for/with him?
Asked somebody something like this to creator of S2U2??
Thanks so much.
tomas
I can just agree to the above, the only thing i miss on Android is S2U2 and G-Alarm. I tried widget locker and i had to reinstall my whole system. When it was active i pulled the right thingy on the locked screen and then it was all black and locket. But i liked it the little i did see when i was exploring it. Now i don't dare to install it again..
EDIT:
Yesterday i tried LockBot but it could not get it to work at all, when i read what it could do it was ONE of the most imprtant thing i miss from S2U2, it was locking the hardware buttons. But nah... no go here either.
I never used S2U2, but what are the features all of you miss so much from it? In the videos I see on youtube, I don't really see anything that makes it standout from any other lockscreen, like WidgetLocker...
The key with widgetlocker is getting the right widgets installed to work with it, but because of that it is pretty much infinitely flexible.
