If you are sure that you have the Open tab on startup checked like in this picture I am stumped you might try doing a reinstall?

I had the same problem. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a solution using just ultimate launch. Instead, I have ultimate launch as the first tab of SPB pocket plus 4.0. For some reason, this hasn't caused a single problem. I would rather have ultimate launch by itself, but this may be my only option... for now.

Both of you are using 6700's. I wonder if that has something to do with it?

I wonder if anyone else here with a 6700 is not having this issue. Kinda strange.

yeah 6700's on verizon's network.

i even did a hard reset last night cause i uhh.. uhh froze my phone. lol it'd get to the main display and just freeze. wouldn't let me do anything. luckily i synced all my contacts just before that happened so i didn't loose anything that i couldn't easily put back in.

first thing i did was reinstall UL and reset.. same thing. wouldn't come up. odd. i'll have to try kesellio's work around

I just started playing around with UL, and I'm loving it so far. Here is the simple, 5 tab setup I'm running for now:

[Edit: I've gotten a lot of PM's about the clock pictured above. To save everyone the trouble in the future, it is simply a combination of rlToday and the skin in post 128 here. There are a lot of other nice skins in that thread too.

]

I've got a couple of things I can't figure out though:

1) Does anyone know of a way to get more than one row of contacts pictures on your today screen? Right now I'm using TofClocks Speed Dial plugin, but I can't find a way to get more than one row of contacts pictures. Anyone know of a way to get it to look more like the second pic here:

2) I'd like to put my calendar info on one of the tabs (probably the one with HTC Home), but UL doesn't list Calendar as an available today plugin. Anyone gotten this to work with the built in Calendar today plugin, or another app?

Does this work on the plugin when it is installed outside of UL? My guess would be it is in the settings of the plugin. My experience has been that UL just displays the plugins really doesnt affect them in any way. I might be wrong though.

The calendar and Tasks do not like being put in UL. You have many options though. I downloaded Pocket Infomant during a free app friday last year and its today plugin works great.

I know there are many other plugins that will do this too. You might even be able to get BatteryStatus to show it but I have not played around with it that much yet.

Thanks for the reply.

No, it only displays one line regardless of wether it's being run in UL or not. I was hoping someone knew of a hack, or another program altogether, to get it to work. I did just come across a program that the Touch has natively called MakePhoneCall.exe that sounds promising. I'm trying to get a copy of the exe to try on my Titan.

I've been playing around with BatteryStatus a little bit myself. Pretty cool program. Way more features than I expected. I'll take a deeper look at it.

Thanks!

Both TodayAgenda and Calendar+ work within UL, and they're both free.

TodayAgenda: http://tiews.info/index.php?show=software%2Ftodayagenda&lang=en

Calendar+: http://mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10

(Also, TasksPlus seems to work well as a Task plugin replacement: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...1&postcount=58)

If you want to put in speed dial for its own tab, say like applications, make a new Shortcuts tab. Add in shortcuts to \Windows\MakePhoneCall.exe and the parameter set the phone number. For the icon you will need to chose the XP icons and make your own for that. This atleast is a bypass to make your speed dial look and space like your applications without having to have another plugin active. Hope this helps everyone.

What application did your counts for email, vmail and the like eehrhard?

I am looking for something (free) like peracount but that is done by icon instead and something that can be pressed without the stylus. Thanks
