I tried this new application on my wing and I am just loving it. Thought I should share with someone who may be interested.

FAQ
=====================
Just FYI.. Here are some FAQ's..from the original thread. Just saving time in searching stuff, I have attached a few cabs as well :
Where else can I get Ultimate Launcher from?
http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/
Where do I get the touch-commander from?
www.touch-commander.com
-------------------------------------------------
Instructions from MaxMotus :
Part 1 - Touch Commander
Install Touch Commander and edit the FtouchFlo config file. The options for left and right scroll are blank. I set "Right 2 Left" as Action Screen and "Left 2 Right" as Comm Manager.
"Down 2 Up" opens Touch Commander Standard and "Up 2 Down" minimizes the program currently active.
Obviously configure Touch Commander Layout and icons to suit yourself. My icons that i used in Touch Commander are png format stored on storage card. I got some of mine from Alienware skin. Basically converted the ".ico" files to png
Part 2 - Ultimate Launch
Install Ultimate Commander and take time to edit play with settings. You can spec tab size by pixels (i used 40) and placement. Then you can spec total pixel size that the Ultimate Launcher plugin uses on desktop (includes tabs). I set @ 200 which lines up perfectly with the wallpaper i use. So when you change tab it moves everything between the tabs at top and the glass bar at the bottom. ie Tabs and glass bar stay static.
I used as plugins, HTC home which fits perfectly between the Tabs and Glass Bar at bottom. The Next Tab is SPB Pocket Plus with short cuts and system items. On the Third Tab I used SPB Weather and on the final tab i had short cuts using Ultimate Launch.
Tab placement can be top or bottom of the Today plugin so you could put them at the bottom of page like iphone. If you want to hide the tabs totally and just use the Cube / Slide change of tabs then set Tab size to zero.
Ultimate launch icons are in standard .ico format 32x32 or 48x48 for the animated size! So you can easily make or edit icons!
You can have as many tabs as you like I just chose 4 as i was using cube style change. And you can use all the normal today style plugins via settings. Each tab can have its own gestures regarding launching apps. I set mine same for less confusion, basically stroke down on tab panel for PocketCM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
how did you manage to get the htc home tab plugin in between ultimate launch space?
The HTC Home needs 160 pixels so you need to set the pixel size in "Ultimate Launch" to use 160px + tab size. In my case my tabs are 40px so my overall px size for settings on Ultimate Launch are 200px (Config, Display Tab, "Fixed Plugin Height")
To add HTC Home plugin, (Config, Display Tab, "Tabs") when you have created a "Tab" you can click on "change" and add from the list of today plugins!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where do I get the theme which is in the Video?
Attached - Theme.zip
You can use your own customized avatar.
Attached - Blueflameza9.zip
For those who want to use the gif for S2U2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How Do I get the HTC Home and HTC Weather as Tabs?
Go to UL config and Add a New Plugin, Select the Application
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I managed to use the HTC home like you did, but unlike the top portion of your ultimatelaunch tab, mine has arrows to the sides. I am assuming that it's indicating the that I have more tabs to the left/right. Is there any way to get rid of it? How did you make it so that yours doesn't show any arrow? Is it because you only have 4 tabs?
Go into Config and the headers options.
Make sure "Visable Headers" is equal to or great than number of tabs you have setup.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Which battery monitor do you use? The one in the taskbar with percentage as well...

Ya,
I tried it out about a week ago and was going to add it to open touch v3.0, but did not have time..
I might include it in v4.0, but not sure yet. Also, I think I better ask the developer of the apps first as well...heeh
wow that definitely looks sweet, thanks for the heads up man
i wonder how smoothly it'll run on the wing though.....

Tat sounds nice! Would love to see this with Open Touch. One thing you may wanna consider before including is that if this app is not activated, it will have "not activated" on the application once in a while. It doesn harm but I am sure you will find a way to eliminate that

This is way more useful than the Touch Cube, and I was a fan. This seems to be working great so far and it doesnt seem to use much memory.

Is there a way to put built in Calendar and Tasks today plugins into one of the tabs in Ultimate Launcher?

From what I saw you can use any plugin. When you go into the config click new and select Today-Plugin. You should be able to add it there.

This didnt work btw...Its a good app though so I'll put up with the message.
WiFI and Bluetooth:
for bleutooth toggle = CicleBT.cab
for wifi there is also a wifitoggel.exe somewhere. i´ll post when i´m home...
BUT please keep in mind: IT is NOT freeware.... so including into a rom would make people have to buy a licens
I stay with O2plus (modified) i can set tabs for shortcuts - that´s enough for me...
thanks for posting.
I tested it: but as far as i cannot find more than 6 shirtcuts that i really need on screen.... and in loss of todayplugins that i do not use..... i relly don´t need it. BUT it is customizable very fine...
AND indeed much better than cube!!!
I had it running under my Batterystatustheme.... 200pix high with todayagenda and shortcuts....

Heheh.. I know . With the amount of memory it takes..I kinda thot you will!..
not activated message is not there when you don't use Cube
I know the Cube is popular but if you uninstall the cube, you don't get the not activated messages. This app is pretty cool even without the Cube. I personally do not like the cube so I don't use it, but I tried it with and without the cube installed and noticed this. Just thought I'd pass it on.
Also, the Cube takes alot of memory, but without it, this app takes very little.

Thanx for sharing! am trying this now
and I don't mean with registry editting, but it actually places an extra tab somewhere in the Today options in settings and lets you sort and enable/disable tabs. which version is that?
thanks...
you can edit the order by looking in the htc home plug in the registry, you change 1,2,3,4,5,6 to a different order, or remove a number to remove a tab.
You can do it on any version of Home Plug.

i am aware of that, but I'm looking for the version that doesn't require you to edit the registry. I had it before I did a hard reset!

i am aware of HHC, but it's not it.
oh well. it'll do i guess.
Ahh. I think you are talking about the tab in Today => Settings. Try the HTC HOME Plugin.
i found it.... installed HHC and it came with it too.
sweet!
do you mean the media tab ??

no, it's a tab in the Today screen customization menu in Settings.
Hello guys does anybody know a way of being able to see more than one calendar appointment, or the device lock icon, or skype icon on the Home screen of Manilla ROMs?
I tried a search but I didn't come up with anything substantial or useful enough to follow.
Thank you in advance

Take a look at the SecondToday plugin... If you use the TouchFlo2D settings tool (search the forums) you can make a softkey on the main tab that says something like "Agenda", and link it to secondtoday. Then use an application like G-Alarm and / or TodayAgenda for your today screen plugins. Inside of SecondToday you can set a softkey to "return" to TouchFlo2D by pointing it at SecondToday.exe (this kinda tricks it like the OK button)
This is what I have done, and it's very slick and solved my issues. Hopefully it helps you.
Thank you very much for the help
On the Tilt you could - using M2DC - assign i.e. iContact to the left or right tab (instead of phone and prg like default). TF3D customizer doesn't have thsi option yet. any hacks or a plan to do this?
Thanks

Really simple actually.
I actually have 2 different .cabs one assigned to the left and one assigned to the right.
for the left I use SecondToday and for the right I use iContact
Here are the reg settings I use.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeRSKPath"="\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe"
"HomeRSKText"="Contacts"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKPath"=\Program Files\SecondToday\SeconToday.exe
"HomeLSKText"="Today"
Enjoy!
Thank you sir! I assume you just created a new key "HomeRSKPath" plus value?!

you can't modify the latest bleeding edge manila with a tool in 0.67 version designed for an almost 2 years old manila on a different device? strange
for rearrange tabs use "customize tabs" on settings

Yes it can. This is how you do it.
Slide across to the Settings tab.
Tap Customize Tabs.
The text at the top says "Drag items to rearrange".
To rearrange an item, tap and hold on the icon then slide it up or down to the position you want it. You need to specifically tap and hold ON THE ICON.
When you're finished, click on Done.
