Using Today Plugins with TF3D (Second Today)

[kevank]

Let me start by saying that I love the TouchFlo 3D interface. BUT (there is always a but) there are a few Today Screen plugins that I love and cannot use with TF.

Then I found Second Today. Basically it creates a second today screen that you can toggle back and forth between with a soft key.

Here is the main site for the product: (scroll down to #5)

I got a page not found when I clicked on your mirror link. Any idea if this would work with TF2D on a Mogul?

It does work on the mogul. It works very well in conjunction with fTouchFloSL. Now I can swipe L-R or R-L on my today screen to get to another today screen. I like this feature because there are today plugins that I like to use but take up to much screen. The limitation is RAM on the mogul. I wonder if we can have more than just 2 today screens.

Can you give me a short walkthrough on how to configure this? i have both programs installed but i cant swipe to the next today screen.

It should work fine and I fixed the download link.

I got this installed and it works great, except that I can't figure out the soft key setting. I left it at the default Right Key for Second Today, loaded the key setting, and applied to registry, but my right soft key in TF2D still opens the Programs link.

When I run Second Today program it toggles, so it's working. Can anyone help with the soft key issue? I wonder if I set my old HTC Home screen as the main and set Manila as the second screen, if that would work?

Let me see if I can help. Open the soft Keys tab in Second Today. Click on the Second Today checkbox. Select the button you want it on when in Second Today and hit Apply to Registry.

Then click the Manila checkbox. Select the button you want it on when in TF and hit Apply to registry.

The buttons should work as programmed now. If not, do a soft reset and you should be golden.

For Second Today, I got the right key labeled "Manila" and it works. For Manila, every time I load the key setting it's blank, and whenever I change it, it doesn't stick. I'll see if I can create or make the change in the registry, or maybe it can be changed in Manila's XML file.

I also tried to make my "regular" HTC Home screen my main screen and Manila the second, but so far haven't gotten that to work at all.

Excellent instructions! I looked all over xda for these simple steps.

Installed Second Today successfully on my Touch Pro (CDMA/Sprint), but can't figure out how to activate or execute. Developer site says to "tap and hold". Obviously I'm missing something simple. Doesn't appear in the Today items in settings...is it supposed to?
