Today Plugins: which is most used?

[SkizZO]

Cause of low memory space i need to know how many users prefer a today plugin instead another.

Ps: If is Others (must have similar today functions of the softwares in the poll) , please write something about it!

Thanx for your contribute and sorry fotr my BAD english!

SkizZO: that's a very big question. What do you want your plugin to do? Many of us use many different plugins for very different reasons.

I generally use cLaunch as a launcher, or my own plugins. But if you want to read about different plugins, please have a good long read here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26468&highlight=today) and here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37067&highlight=today).

I know I know (...i've forget claunch!!!)

You have to install ONE of this Plugins, and i want to discover which is most used by Magician users.

As a task closer, I use my VJOkButt. It's not perfect, but it works well for me. For launching, I use cLaunch. With SmallMenu as a startmenu replacement, that's pretty much everything I need.

I use PZP.

PzP Has not the function to put icons on the today screen...

however i hope spb is + used... but isn't a little heavy??

Currently i'm running Ilauncher (for icons)+ GSPocketMagic (taskManager)
(+Pocketweather+PZP+Egress+messaging)
and i would to change this "configuration"

@vijay555: i am talking of Today Plugin that put icons on the screen (and others individuals functions)

I use Resco explorer's Plug in.. I find it very nice and light... it shows battary, memory..etc, also allows you to add your own apllications shortcuts into the today screen....
very nice one indeed

You did not specify that in your original quote. You just mentioned Today plug-ins, not specifically ones that allow you to add icons.

Currently ?

- JGUI Zodiac Date (jeus for the date, and it doesn't pop up anything if you accedently tap it :))

- tAgenda (used to have Tasks, Inboy and CalenderPlus, tAgenda makes all three obsolete)

- Oh, and Nakka's TDLaunch, because it let's can configure Iconsize and margins !

Not really a Today Plugin, but it replaces Todays info perfectly : W-Tools ResInfo (yes, Battery stats, Storage and Mem gauge in the Tray! It even shows charging )

My taskmanager is PocketNav, and i use the camerabutton as TodayToggleOFF and the memobutton for TodayToggle (Hi Vijay ! Great tools ! Normaly i would have taken a dozen pictures of side of my pants !
Now nothing really serious happens if the buttons get pushed accedentaly!)

[vijay555]

Wow, someone actually uses TodayToggle?!
There's a name I haven't head for a looong time :)

I like it, but I will really have to think of something useful to do with that app some day!

Well, it's usefull enough for me.
I used to have "Today" under a button, but always shutdown the PPC afterwards, so.......

And if i use TTN5, i don't want to PPC to trun of, hence....

AND i always had a problem with accendently pressing the side buttons, and now the at least don't open "Tasks" or like i said, worse; the camare and starts shooting...

Btw, i tried Hidestart, but it doesn't seem to do anyting but temp. show time and batt %....

I'm still looking for all kinds of "Thumbs only" or "Thick fingers" solutions, i use my PPC a lot 'one handed' or in the car...

Espec. setting snooze to 15 min. or so in the car is considdered 'reckless driving' ;)

[vijay555]

I haven't developed HideStart any futher than a very early preview a long time ago. I've got some ideas about changing the way notifications are presented, particularly in VJSihaya, but I still like the idea of HideStart.

However, I think that when you "ghost" reminders, they still try to silently activate themselves from time to time, which causes your current app to lose focus, which is irrititing if you're typing something. I thought it was a bug in my code until I realised this. However, I still use it to ghost reminders from time to time when I'm too busy to snooze them all :)

It's possible some code I wrote for the upcoming release of VJOkButt (used to get around incoming call notifications) might be of help here... but HideStart is not a priority right now unfortunately. I actually just developed it for my own use in a modified version so that I could switch between Start Bar, New Bar and ToggleToday. It shouldn't really have been released, but I thought the reminder remodeling code was a useful idea to demonstrate... more later, I've got work to do :(

So do i, if it worked ;) If i only could find a decent prorgamming/scripting language for the PPC. Although Mortscript is pretty nice, it misses so features....
And i'm not really a programmer, more like a scripter... Maybe i should take some time to dive into VB or eVB (I can do quite nice things in Acces on the desktop !)

All a MS problem; on the desktop the same happens :(

No prob, i just see whats floating a round and use it if possible. I don't ask around to create solutions for me...
