HTC Home alternatives?

I was wondering if theres any acceptable alternatives for HTC Home to save on memory but have the same options as Home? I really like the shortcut buttons and the favorites to call people with one touch.

You can use www.spbsoftwarehouse.com and find there a lot of useful software. I'm running:
Home tab-
SPB Pocket plus for main Home plugin with tabbed interface
Weather panel (since HTC did not have my city and it looks much better)
SPB Phone suite for profiles and photo dialing
Time tab-
SPB time for clocks, timers and alarms
SPB diary for calendar, text, tasks, notifications etc.

I can post screenshots if needed, but you can see a lot from SPB website.
Other programs I use are:
Resco Explorer
Resco Radio
MemMaid
Sirius WM5
Pocket Informant
TomTom

That's right, but if it does not work for you, what good is it? You can download 30 day trial and see if you like it.

rltoday is a VERY customisable plugin that is free and can be skinned in almost any way imaginable. People have made htc home - like skins that are very cool. This app is even free if that matters to you.

Right now i am using rltoday, mobile shell and pocket plus but i plan on reducing this to just rltoday once i learn how to skin it.

I would suspect rltoday, but it will take a little research and work on your part to get it all running the way you want. The other options are more user friendly and ready to work straight out of the box.

Here is a look at my today screen, very simple with performance in mind.
http://s272.photobucket.com/albums/j...n/?mobile=true

I use the following programs:
dcinobar - hides the soft keys but leaves them functional.
HTC Plus - the clock and counter @ the top of my screen (does not count txt msg properly if using threadedSMS)
clauncher - responsible for all the shourtcuts you see, very customizable and small memory footprint.
vista hide battery - responsible for the battery guage you see at the top of my screen.

thats it. as for picture contacts, you could use the picture contacts today plugin but again with performance in mind I use regular speed dials.
Hope this helps.
