My Today Updated

It's been a while. My today has evolved. My today screen consists of UltimateLauncher, HTC home and hidelogo.cab. The use of UL is because I can get more on the screen than normal because of the tabbed UI. Furthermore it behaves similar to the HTC Touch cube. See the pic below.

Setup:

NOTE: You will need a registry editor to make the necessary changes. Be advised that if the instructions are not followed explicitly you have to restore from backup or start over. You have been warned. I take no responsibility for any damage or loss of data. Make a backup before you begin!

Install hidelogo reboot

Install SDK Test Certs.cab

Install HTC home DO NOT REBOOT

Make the following registry edits

Hidelogo HTC Home

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Active Call

Enabled 1, Options 1, Order 2, Selectability 2, Type 5

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Dial Lookup

Enabled 1, Hidden 1, Options 0, Order 1, Selectability 2, Type 5

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\hidelogo

Enabled 1, Options 0, Order 3, Selectability 2, Type 4

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home

Enabled 1, Options 0, Order 4, Selectability 2, Type 4

Browse all of the other entries in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items

Verify that no other entries occupy “Order” 1-4.​

Reboot. If your phone came back up congrats you are ready for the next step.

Go into today preferences and uncheck everything but "Dial Lookup", "Active Call", and "hidelogo".

Now install Ultimate Launcher

The UL start screen is the one with the UL button (shortcut).

UL has about 6 tabs that are configured by default. I delete all but the UL start tab.

With the UL start tab selected press "Change" the press the "Cancel" softkey. The cancel button is now selected. using your 5way press the down button three times, press the center button and you will be asked if you want to convert the tab to a combination of tabs. Say yes.

Now press change again while the UL tab is selected and add a today plugin. Add the HTC Home plugin from the list.

press ok, press ok, press ok

At this point you should have htc home on the screen along with the other icons.

Before you delete the icons, create a new tab (press "New") "Shortcuts & Systemstate".

Press new to create a new shortcut. Select "XP-Icon (32bit)" with Text. Choose .exe and browse to \Program Files\UltimateLaunch and select UltimateLaunchConfig.exe. Now click the XP-Icon tab, browse, \Program Files UltimateLaunch\Icons\UL.ico.

Press ok, press ok.

You can now go back into the original UL start tab and delete everything there but the today plugin.

Press the "Animation" tab and change "Slide Animation" and "Click Animation" to cube.

Press the Headers tab and change the height to 15, and the Visible headers to 5, remove the check from "show grid", check "inactive tabs transparent".

Press the Behavior tab check "Switch tab during navigation" and "return to start tab after".

Press the Font tab and change the fontsize to 11

Press ok.

Now your today screen should look like mine (less my customizations in UL and HTC).

Now you can swipe your finger from left to right and the screen will display another tab. This works for going from right to left as well.

Caveats: If you have TouchFlo_SL installed you will have to exclude "desktop" under window titles in TouchFlo. Otherwise the swiping of the finger will not work.

This is a starter. From here have fun.
