i haven't used touchflo in a while, but if you open the touchflo folder under Program Files, there is a text file there. at the bottom of it is an exclusion list. use something like notepad and add whatever you want to exclude in the same format. now as far as what you'd need to add in regards to launcher, i have no idea, but i wish you luck... heh

Another freeware solution> http://www.oxios.com/plugins/ Oxios Tasks Plugin. Their memory manager stuff is fantastic so I wouldnt hesitate to give this a shot too. Its a little program too.

After fiddling with the registry for a while the best I could do was get the Tasks option to show up in Ultimate Launch as selectable but it wouldn't work when displayed.

I finally gave up and am now trying this:

Seems to be working well so far and is fairly configurable so you can have either more, or less, than is shown in the screen shot.

You could probably use that Today plug-in as a one of the tab in UL.

PPCGeeks Icons-

I made a couple of these for my ppcgeeks.com link on my UL tab and figured someone else may want to use them.

There are 2 PPCGeeks icons. One is the logo. One is a screen grab.

There are several phone icons including titan, touch, tilt, 700w and wing. I have some more if someone needs an additional phone icon made.

Pocket Plus is much easier to use for creating shortcuts. It's easier to use Pocket Plus for all of your shortcuts, and then create a new Tab in UL that uses Pocket Plus as a plug-in.

Thats exactly what I did and I am loving it. Weather panel on one tab,HTC home on another and pocket plus on another.Also added a sports score tab today using pocket sport center today plugin.

Please help - here is what I did with my Mogul (note I have been reading the forums and had this for the 2nd day)

1) installed the HTC home cab to get the upper half to display the clock and weather. Nothing has been configured yet
2) Copied over the cab and installed the Ultimate Launcher. I can see extra icons on the bottom of the screen, but no moving the screen or rolling finger displays.

How do I start this application?

Thanks for help

If you have safe mode you can just uninstall but if not you may need to hard reset, either way you are losing any customization you did you UL.

I've been playing with the UL application, and have this issue that from time-to-time, tabs that i created in UL and linked to a Today plugin will cause for "deadspace" on the Today screen.

By "deadspace", I mean that the screen wants you to scroll up and down, although the plug-ins being used don't need all that deadspace.

If you notice this happening to you, the fix that I've managed to make is by going into UL Settings --> Display Tab --> then checking the "Fixed plugin-height" option and setting it to ~220 pixels.

I think using the Always Minimize Height setting will solve this too.

Like many of us here at PPCGeeks, I've toyed with many of the programs covered in this site... from iPhone style themes and the like (the most recent being iPhone Freestyle).

I previously had Total Commander, one of the BEST Cube-style programs installed, but I thought it was even slow in responding... with a delay of about two to three seconds before it came into view... despite its small footprint.

Two days ago installed the retail/registered version of UL v 1.2 to my Verizon Wireless VX6800 Mogul - much like many of you... after viewing MATT19's YouTube posting. I've got the PhoneAlarm Touch v2 clock running on the home screen of the device, as a static image... with UL displayed below. I first attempted to include it in the UL fields... and it DID load, much like MATT19's HTC Home clock did... but portions of it would get cut off from the bottom, and it would stat stationary - even though the other panels behind it would/could spin or rotate. So, I opted to keep it stationary - as a stand-alone, and simply make UL load below. As it is... it takes well over two minutes to load UL... despite the amount of frantic and annoyed thumb sweeps across the screen to activate and rotate the "cube" effect. I currently have about 12 icons in 5 hidden panels... none are Today Plug-ins, just shortcuts... so they aren't "running behind the scene". My Storage Memory is at 126MB and my Programs Memory is at: 16.86MB... so it's not as if it's bogged down. I'm finding the overall speed of this untweaked device is even slower than my previous VX6700...!

IS there a way to speed up the device - without over clocking it?

(I'd flash a new and updated ROM kitchen version of 6.1, but - I need to keep MMS and SMS ability - without any issues, as we use it constantly at work... sending the attending ER doc photos of the damage sustained to the interior of a car, for example, so he can better understand what kind of closed fracture and soft tissue injuries our patients have that we're sending him. You have no idea how vital a roll the images play in the care and treatment of the patients... until you can't send anything.)

Do you have ANY suggestions...?

Your kind attention is greatly appreciated!
