I'm posting this just to say how much I enojoy using throttle over the default HTC homeplug, if you haven't made the switch you should consider doing so now! the touchflo works great, flash can be tricky but is beautiful, and it runs just as fast (sometimes faster) as my homeplug did! I know there aren't many themes for this yet but I don't see myself getting away from this clean black. Having multiple slides available for calendar/photos/apps and more makes life easier! Here are a some shots of my default yet clean and enjoyable set up. Please post your custom throttle pics if you have them!

Tried it. Didnt like the lack of an actual today screen for my plugins. I use IM+ regularly and not being able to see a new message displayed kinda sucked. The ONLY way i was able to even see the plugin was to disable the calender function and enable the plugin in its screen. Even then, it doesnt autoupdate to show a new message. Sigh

you can manually add plugins to any page within throttle and..for the home page you just add the line for the plugin in the xml...its very simple..i did it for voip byut yah the auto update does kinda suck..i just hit the hw start button..it updates the page/plugins

You can but L26's last B5 is SICK SICK SICK! I highly recommend it!

The TL is not that slow, you just need the good parameters (like using "paged" movements to naviguate through the different tabs / pages). Otherwise the other ways to naviguate are indeed slow (kinetik, wheel of fortune etc).

That's really a nice and useful plugin. Highly customizable and like it has been said, you can add Today Plugins in the TL, so you can virtually have lot's of them because you can have as many "tabs" has you want.

The TL in Laurentius26 TL B5 indeed highly rocks hehe.

I don't get it, this is faster than anything i've used before, maybe i've been using the wrong roms, but I doubt it. The only issue I have is the same with all my other roms, to use skyfire or opera!

the only way I found it to be useable using L26's beta 5 was to remove the calendar page (or add pocketbreeze and remove the default calendar) everything else worked pretty well.

How do I get this 'Throttle' thing, and is there any help or information reguarding installing and setting this up?

I've never flashed or cooked my ROM before, if it consists of that, and I would rather not. This seems really nice, and since I can not get the HHC program to cusomize my Home screen now, this may be something to try.

Any help?

Flashing is not hard, it just needs care.

Here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397434) is the main Wiki of the Kaiser.

To know how to flash a ROM, please read everything here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading). The first time you flash, it's taking time cause you are new to that game and you need to install first a soft called "hardSPL". Then you'll be able to flash (install) a ROM. If you flash this one (L26 v10 Beta6) (http://tinyurl.com/6x5nwc), you'll have the ThrottleLauncher pre-installed ;).

If you don't want to flash a ROM, you still have the posibility to install the ThrottleLaucher by yourself following this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390553).

I love calendar, mostly for the swiping to next or previous month, i've got alot of shit in my calendar and it helps to not have to 'leave' the home page to open calendar to see when i've got upcomming appointments.

As far as flashing a new rom I suggest you read the wiki on rom flashing how to's.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
It's fool proof if you READ everything! And by using a stock rom that came with the phone you are missing out on alot of Kaiser's features that you paid good money for!
