making HTC home screen work with Ultimate Launch

gold_sprinter · #1 (**permalink**) 06-23-2008, 02:16 PM

Is there a way to make it so that my default layout is Ultimate launcher, and the today plugin is the main screen for ultimate launcher? I am not sure if that sentence made sense but I have recently been introduced to the Ultimate Launch program and I really like it. I would like to set the today plugin (customized with HHC) as the main screen for ultimate launch. Aswell as have the second (clock) screen set as another program. (Such as pocketCM, or maybe SBP weather).

There are so many good programs out there that I can't decide what I like best so if I can have them all in one launcher that would show all their features not just a button to click on to launch the app, I would live that. So far Ultimate launch would be the only one capable of doing this. Is this possible or am I dreaming?

So you just want to embed HTC Home in UL? If so, it is as simple as adding a new Today Plugin tab and selecting HTC Home.

Just to be clear, you are trying to achieve something similar to this, correct? I don't use UL anymore, but this was taken from one of the first setups I made (sorry it's kinda big, it's the only pic I had handy):

yeah exactly, but it doesn't show up when i do this... so i took off ultimate launch... i'll reinstall and give it another try...

u achieved this with NO problems at all?

It should work like this:

If it is not in the list of available plugins, then it is likely an incompatibility with the particular version of Home you are using. Since I'm in the Vogue forum, I'm guessing you're using the standard, built-in version of Home. The above screenshots were taken just now after installing UL and the version of Home that is attached. I don't know if anyone has gotten it working with the standard Vogue version of Home or not, so the only thing I can suggest is to try installing this version. There are several UL threads going in the Software forum, maybe someone there has a better answer.

Edit: File attached. Good luck!

UL Will work with stock home plugin. UL was the first program I bought and had the Today plugin on my main screen just fine. Try creating a whole new tab from scratch, then adding the today plug-in. Then just make that your main tab after it is saved.
