This thread was created to have a single place for walkthroughs, program add ons, icons and FAQ's for iPhone Today made by MiToNiOeS (and now by tronikos).
The disclamer (everything has them now)
ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR PHONE; As with anything that you can do to your phone, if you do somthing wrong, you may have to hard reset (very rare); but if you backup your phone first, you will not loose anything. MiToNiOeS, tronikos and j101399j(myself) take no responsibility if you mess up your phone from doing something stupid. This program in no way can mess up or cause problems with your phone. Now that, that was said, back to reality...
Please do not post in this thread unless you have something to add helpful. If you have a question PM me or post it in the iPhone Today forum here:

Icons, Icons and more Icons (Post 6)
Additional Programs and Add-ons (Post 7)
==============================================
As you can tell, I have not been on for a while and have not had a chance to keep this updated. I no longer use my Tilt (except as a GPS); so I get very little time on it. So if you see something old or outdated, please PM me.
The Walkthrough
Preparation
FIRST and MOST IMPORTANT: Back up your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Updated Feb 27,2010; based off v1.4+
How to install:
1. Start by downloading one of the iPhone_Today.zip files from here
This will install all of the needed files for iPhone Today to work.
If this is an update and you have already installed iPT; backup your icons.xml and settings.xml files. Install the new version and then put your icons and settings files back in.
2. Copy the iPhone Today cab onto your phone.
3. On your phone, navigate to the iPhoneToday.cab file
4. Click the iPhgoneToday.cab file and install it to your phone. DO NOT INSTALL TO THE STORAGE CARD
5. You have 2 versions installed;
a. The exe version is opened like a program (start menu --> programs --> iPhoneToday.exe) This is full screen mode. And it will exit if you press home or end. This works very well with programs that use tabs, like TF3d.
b. Or you can use iPhoneToday as a today plug-in. Go into "Start --> Settings --> Today --> Today items" and disable all other today plugins besids iPhone Today6. Use the icon and settings UI managers to add/edit icons (See below for UI instructions)
Adding Icons and UI instructions see post#3
How to update:
If you have v1.3 or older; uninstall iPT and follow the directions for a fresh install
If this is un update for v1.4+ then do not uninstall iPT; just download and install the new version. It will ask if you want to save your fles, select yes, and you are good to go,
The Menus and Options

Advanced Functions
Advanced:
1. There are two great weather script/applictions that display an icon for the weather.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603817
#2 from arealityfarbetween
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882110
1 (again). How Create Shortcuts (somewhat advanced)
1. Open NotePad on your PC
2. Type a one line command to what the link points to
a. The number before the # sign is the number of characters after the # sign
b. The text following the # sign is the location of the command
i. If this points to a file, it would look like “\windows\start menu\starfire.lnk”
ii. Since there is a space in the location, use quotations
c. The text after the file location is the paramters for the file; the below example pases the commands to open the SMS account and display it’s inbox location
3. Save the file with .lnk at the end
19#:MSINBOX -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"
2. MY XML EDITOR (more for editing text, link and mscr files)
I was unable to (no matter how much I tired or where I put the files) get PHM Notepad. I did find pocket text editor, which does work. Just copy the files to My Documents, and you can edit it from there. So far it works perfectly and saves the file correctly. File Attached
3. How to create a link to a phone number
I found using vj555 phone tools, you can have an icon call a phone number. You can download the phone tools here:
http://www.vijay555.com/
Just make sure you aim at the dialer.exe and set the phone number as a parameter. For Example
<icon name="Home" image="home.png" exec="\program files\vijay555\vjdialer.exe" parameters="8881234567" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
When you hit the button, it will automatically dial that number. Remember no dashes in the phone number.
ANOTHER OPTION:
Here is a really cool program that will automatically create the contact links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555574
oldsap said it perfectly:
Manually creating shortcut files for sms and call sending to specific contacts requires using a text editor (in PPC and PC) and then manually typing text codes and memorizing the phone number for that particular contact, then repeating the same procedure again and again for each contact.
oldsap created a simple application to automate all of this.
4. Create an icon to a website
To create a link to a website, select the program you want the site to open in, in mycase, I use Skyfire. Under the parameters, put the exact website. Here is my icon to this forum.
<icon name="X-divs" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\XDADevs2.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Skyfire.lnk" parameters="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508429" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
5. Create an icon to a folder
Set the exe file at your file explorer and set the paramaters to the exact location of the file to open. This is my link to my games folder
<icon name="Icons" image="\iPhoneToday\icons\icons.png" exec="\Windows\Start Menu\File Explorer.lnk" parameters="\windows\start menu\programs\games\" type="0" execAlt="" parametersAlt=""/>
6. Create an icon to a SMS and E-mail
Use the attached e-mail, outlook and SMS shortcut files, readSMS.lnk for text messages, use readHotmail.lnk for hotmail, ReadGmail.lnk for Gmail, and ReadOutlook.lnk ActiveSync e-mails; do not add parameters if you use these links.
Or you can create a shortcut (See #1 above)
SMS
Code:
19#:MSINBOX -service "SMS" -open "Inbox"
Outlook e-mails:
Code:
54#\windows\tmail.exe -service "ActiveSync" -open "Inbox"
Hotmail
Code:
40#:MSINBOX -service "Hotmail" -open "Inbox"
Gmail
Code:
38#:MSINBOX -service "Gmail" -open "Inbox"
7. Link an icon to a Settings
Attached are my "settings" shortcuts. These shortcuts take you directly to settings and functions on your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3858415&postcount=547
I have also attached an all-settings-link zip file that contains all the settings available. They do not have fancy icons, but it covered everything. Please note, that some of the links go to a settings tab. For example the Backlight_Settings.lnk and Backlight_Battery-Power.lnk shortcuts go to the same backlight settings location, the difference is the Backlight_Battery-Power.lnk goes to the Battery-Power tab. Not all of my tab commands will work on all phones (sorry). So for that example, if you click both links and they both take you to the 1st tab; then tab selection is not supported for that settings location. And you only need one of the link files.
8. How do I rotate the screen
I have attached a switchrotation.zip file at the bottom of this thread. That will allow you to rotate the screen. {Thanks Jeannette for the program}
9. Link an icon to a Call History
To link to call history (files attached):
1. Download the LaunchMSItem.zip
2. UnZip the LaunchMSItem.zip and copy the LaunchMSItem.exe to your phone; (I reccomend your storage card)
3. Edit your "phone" or "call" icon and set the type to "Missed calls"
4. Set the ExecuteAlt to LaunchMSItem.exe's location
5. Set the ParamsAlt to CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS
This will, when you have a missed call, goto call history
10. Creating MortScript Files
This can be easy or complicated. I recommend vising the new thread dedcated to Mortscript, or tyhe one for icon programs here:

11. How to create an apple icon for Manillia Today Page (a tab for iPT on TF3D)
drjim said:
Back on page 207, post #2063, bbonzz created Apple slider tab icons that can be used with Manila Today Page to have a unique slider tab for iPhone Today (instead of having to use the boring MTP Today tab or a tab that you weren't using).
On page 208, post #2079 (or around there), bbonzz has a .zip file of two manila files that will allow you to have a pretty basic Apple slider tab icon (similar to the old-style whitish slider tab icons of TF3D 2.0 and earlier.
Well, being the generous fellow that he is, bbonzz created a colored Apple tab icon for me that fits in just right with my TF3D 2.5 icon set that is a part of Herg's 23412 build. See pic below.

Here are the FAQ's:
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Q: How do I make the bottom bar go away? (aka the soft keys)
A: I have come across a few solutions; if NueNoBar does not work, try question 2. 1st try NueNoBar, there are 2 versions (v1.3 and v2.0); I recommend downloading both, v1.3 works on some and v2.0 works on others.
I haver attached NueNoBar v1.3 & v2.0 to this post at the bottom
2. Q: NueNoBar does not work at all, no matter what I try!!
A: Here are 2 more options:
------2a. Try dciNoBar; NueNoBar did not work on my 2ed phone, so I tried this and it works perfectly. You can find one verison of it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356978
I haver attached dciNoBar to this post at the bottom
------2b. Also try a program called Second Today (thank you dustinmcd for this one and how to use it) http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm#SecondToday; It has an option to hide the bottom bar and also gives the flexibility to use another plugin (such as Titanium) easily. Just enable no today plugins, set up iphonetoday as their "Second Today" and run it full time with minimal memory use.
3. Q. How do I have my calender show the days in my language?
A. Attached at the bottom of this post is a file called Settings XML files.zip this file contains the settings.xml files for all 4 phone resolutions and in English, Espanol (Spanish), Deutsch (German) and Français (French). Just replace your current settings.xml file in your "\iPhoneToday" folder on your phone with that one. Then restart iPhoneToday; now the days will be in your language.
I only speek English, so if I messed up; please PM me.
OR
You need to edit the settings file (located in: /iPhoneToday/settings.xml). Copy your settings.xml file to your PC. Open the file with notepad (ONLY USE NOTEPAD). Change the text inbetween the bracketed days:
ie:
English
Code:
<Sunday>Sun</Sunday>
Code:
[I]<Monday>Mon</Mon>[/I]
or Espanol
Code:
<Sunday>Dom</Sunday>
Code:
[I]<Monday>Lun</Mon>[/I]
or my favorite
Code:
[I]<Sunday>Rest2</Sunday>[/I]
[I]<Monday>Hell1</Monday>[/I]
[I]<Tuesday>Hell2</Tuesday>[/I]
[I]<Wednesday>Hump</Wednesday>[/I]
[I]<Thursday>Better</Thursday>[/I]
[I]<Friday>Party</Friday>[/I]
[I]<Saturday>Rest1</Saturday>[/I]
Save the file, and copy back to your phone. And reset iPT (disable it and re-enable it)
4. How do I add a new page?
A:
. 1. Go to your last page
. 2. Press and hold in any blank area to get the pop menu to add a new icon.
. 3. On the icon add/edit page, in the upper left corner is the screen # selection, it should already have a number. (I have 5 pages, and since the 1st page is page #0; it has the number a 4 in it).
. 3a. If you want to add the icon to the bottom bar, change the screen number to -1;
. 3b. If you want a new page, change the number up by one. For example, I have 5 pages, and I want a 6th page. So I changed the number from 4 to 5 (Remember the 1st page is #0, second page is #1, third page is #2; and so on...)
. Save the icon and now you will have a new page. Also, if you delete all of the icons from a page (like if you are moving them); once the page is blank, it will be deleted. So if you do not want the page to go away, there must be an icon on it.
5. Q: I was editing my icons and everything disappered
A: Chances are your icon's executable path has a special character in it [email protected]#$%^&*()_+=-/.,<>?; or one of your parameters has a " in it. The extra " in your parameters will crash iPhone Today
6. Q: I get a small keyboard at the bottom of the screen
A: Your screen height is a little too big. For some reason NueNoBar has a bug and causes this issue. Start by shrinking your screen height by 1. Open your text messages and close them. If the screen is still too high, the keyboard will still be there. Keep shrinking the screen height till it goes away. Unfortunatuly this will leave 2-3 lines of background/empty spcae on the bottom.
7. Q: How do I create icons to the settings on my phone
A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Link an icon to a Settings
8. Q: How do I link to my call history
A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Link an icon to a Call History
9. Q: How do I Link to my sms and e-mail
A: See the advanced walkthrough, link above; Create an icon to a SMS and E-mail
10. Q: My bottom icons are messedup/gone after switching back to portrait after landscape mode
A: Disable the landscape option in iPhoneToday settings. This is a problem on some phones and there is no real fix yet
11. Q: I have a scroll bar on the side
A: Your screen height is too large, or you have another today plugin turned on (under or over iPhone Today), or your icons are too big and over laping. You need to lower your screen height.
12. Q: Can we have a clock?
A:For those having problems to see the digital clock:
1 add a new icon, a blank one or one with only a colored background
2 execute nothing or, if you have, a shortcut to the winmobile clock
3 change the Type from 'normal' to 'clock'
4 Enjoy your time Thanks CU
13. What is the "dll" version?
This no longer applies
14. I have iPhone Today installed; how do I update
A: If you are going to install a new vrsion.
1. 1st back up your icons, icons.xml file to your storeage card.
2. Uninstall your current iPhoneToday
3. Restart your phone
4. Install
5. copy your backed up files back to the main iPhoneToday folder to be safe
Please note that for now you cannot backup your settings
You have updated your phone
15. During installation it says that the software in compatible with the operation system. I accept and continue the installation. When installation is completed I cant see the today plugin in the list.
A. {Thanks Jeannette for the answer and cab} you have to install the "RemoveSecurity.CAB " attached at the bottom of this post to remove the security warning. Also you have to install iPhoneToday to the device. If you install to 'My Storage' it doesn't show as a today item
16. How do I create icons that turn Bluetooth or Wifi on/off?
A: Download and install Raiisak`s Bluetooth Button and Raiisak`s WLAN Button from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398050
AKToggleWifi is also a great program for WiFi Toggle.
You can find AKToggleWifi here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442727

I am sure there is a MortScript that can do that (Check each account. At the moment no; if I figure it out, I'll let you know

How many pages do you have, was the 3rd page the last page, or was it in the middle.
If it was the last page:
Press and hold to create a new icon, on the icon details page, in the upper left corner, you will see a "screen" option; change it to "2" (0 is page 1, 1 is page 2 and so on). Give the icon a name and save it. This will add a 3rd page. Now create as needed.
If you have more then 3 pages
You will need to move all but one icon off that page (to create a new end page see above steps). Then add a new icon to page 3 (if there are no icons, the page will delete). Move the last icon to the new last page. Since you have that new icon on page 3, it will not delete that page. Then you are ready to go.
Is it possible to create an icon that opens a new screen in IphoneToday? I created shortcuts to several phonenumbers. I'd like to group them. I mean when I hit the icon a new screen opens with the grouped shortcuts to the phonenumbers.

You would have to create a new icons.xml file that has just those icons and use MortScript to swap the files and refresh iPT. See this post:

Can you go over adding pages..
cyberhern said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sure,
1. Go to your last page
2. Press and hold in any blank area to get the pop menu to add a new icon.
3. On the icon add/edit page, in the upper left corner is the screen # selection, it should already have a number. (I have 5 pages, and since the 1st page is page #0; it has the number a 4 in it).
3a. If you want to add the icon to the bottom bar, change the screen number to -1;
3b. If you want a new page, change the number up by one. For example, I have 5 pages, and I want a 6th page. So I changed the number from 4 to 5 (Remember the 1st page is #0, second page is #1, third page is #2; and so on...)
Save the icon and now you will have a new page. Also, if you delete all of the icons from a page (like if you are moving them); once the page is blank, it will be deleted. So if you do not want the page to go away, there must be an icon on it.

After using iPT some buttons are useless now, like the Windows Hardbutton and the start menu (on my TP2. So, it would be nice to add some info to the guide to change the mapping og this buttons. You now how to map f.e. the Windows Hardbuttion to programs? And how to make a link to the settings, i mean just to all 3 tabs, not to specific phone settigs?

iPT does not disable or mess with the hard buttons when ran as a today plug-in. If you are using the exe version (start --> programs--> iPhoneToday.exe); then you will loose your hard soft keys bcause you are running it as a program, not a plug-in; same as any full screen program. If you run iPT that way, you will need to create icons to those settings/items. Since every phgone is different, I can't really create a guide how to add them
Hello guys,
Looking at the number of people asking for a Metro UI look Guide i have decided to make this,This is my First ever guide,So if i go wrong somewhere go easy on me
Necessary Softwares Required
1) ADW Launcher
2)Desktop Visualizer
3)Multipicture Live Wallpaper
4)Minimalistic Text
Step 1: ADW Launher
* Install ADW launcher
* Go to ADW settings -> UI Presets -> main dock-> disable main dock
* Screen Preference-> Desktop Columns =9
Rows=5 ( you can give rows and columns number like you please,this just adjusts the widgets size )
*Under Advanced settings in screen preference - Enable Overlap Widgets
* You might Notice an Annoying blue line on top of the screen (to Remove it)
-long press on the screen and Select Launcher Actions
-Add Show/Hide Status Bar.then add it to screen click it.blue line disappears and Delete the show/hide status bar you have added.
*Disable Wallpaper Scrolling.
Okay now you are done ADW launcher for now! Good job! Now lets procees to the next step .
Step 2: Multilivewallpaper
*Long press on main screen -> wallpaper->live wallpaper -> you can select individual wallpapers for each screen(this is left to you)
* So after selecting wallpapers,you can change the transtition effect and stuff to your taste!
Step 3: Desktop VisualizeR
*Download the Icons pack i have attached and extract it in you tab.
*On Main Screen ->Long Press->Widgets->Desktop visualizer-> Choose 2x1 or 2x2 which ever you like (1x1 is also fine) .
*You will notice a widget will be added on your screen -> click it-> now it asks you to choose an icon -> select an icon from the icon pack you have extracted(consider you are making " books" widget.so select books image icon)
*Next it will ask for an Action to be executed -> select launch an app-> Ebook app(moon reader or whatever you use)
*Clear the Text Label Which will be below .
* Press ok and you are done
***REPEAT Step 3 every time you want to add an widget .
Step 4: Minimalistic Text(if you get confused ,i would recommend you to see some youtube videos on how to configue minimalistic text)
* long press on the screen ->minimalistic text widget->2*1 Size
*Untick show background
*Horizontal block ->left
*vertical Block->Center
*predefined layout->custom
now click custom layout which would be enabled down
*now you will see some boxes .long press them and drag and drop on the bin (its like removing an icon from the homescreen)
*After Removing everything ->select the green plus sign to add button->misc->static text(drag and drop on top i,e left to the green plus button)
*click on static text->give text "start"
Style->accented
*done press minus->press ok
*Now go to Accented it will be few rows below custom layout
*you can select the text style which u want.(i myself used size 50 ,thats all i did not make any more changes)
*Check "disable Action on tap" .Check this one
*press ok and your done
Step 4:
* you will be able to see the minimalistic widget you created ,drag and keep at one side.
*long press->launcher action->open app drawer
*now long press the open app drawer icon you created. Delete the text you see now click on the icon->select picture->select the transparent picture i provided.
*now place this "invisible icon on top left corner*
Now what our intention is we want to overlap the start text we created from minimalistic text and invisible icon ,so that when we click start ,app drawer should open. now bring in the start widget on same row ,notice u will not be able to place widget on top of each other so just place it by its side,then long press on start widget and edit then resize the widget so that it overlaps on the invisible app drawer widget.
Step 5: HD widgets
I used this app for the Clock and Weather widgets
End Product should look like the Screenshot i have Attached.
Thank you.

APPS WITH BEAUTYFUL USERINTERFACE
*****************************
I assune u read the 3rd part of tasker tutorials which is about scenes
Link is on top
For making apps with beautyful interface u need to create tasks which enables tasker scenes
I will use metrostation icon pack and some local media files
I will show you how to add different types of elements with different ui
*****************************
PREPRATION FOR UI
****************************
First of all keep the structure of your app in mind, thus u can easily find the images and icons as per your need.u need to find suitable images for background, suitable icons for buttons,
Sometimes u may need a bit of photoshop to get brillian userinterface
U can take inspiration from several apps out there, mycolorscreen.com,icondatabase.net
Few examples of user interface
Below are homescreens from mycolorscreens.com
M showing just for demo
Get your icons ,images and background images ready before begining
*****************************
ADDING BACKROUND

Go to scene
Press + button

I have given name background
Now something like this will apear
On the right bottom corner u will find a magnifying glass icon, it will toogle your scene in edit/preview mod

************************
WHAT MORE
*************************
u can also add more scenes in one single app
More buttons triggering more scenes and actions
U can use your first scene as app home
And several other scenes as menu
U can also make swipe support to your apps
Like this friendcaster app
Create 5 to 6 scenes
And add the blue indicator below every scene name title
And add your action in stroke menu
Either swipe updown
Swipe left right or any
And in action choose show scene action
Example
In info screen there will be an image with the indicator under info text and in sroke action it will show wall scene
Where wall scene will have same image with blue indicator under wall text
Swiping from wall scene will show
Photos scene
Swipping from photos scene will show members scene
U will have to add 2 strokes in each scene one for left to right to show next scene
And one for right to left to show previous scene

Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
I just got the HTC M9. The titles to each category are not solid, and it's this way in other places, like Messenger. I don't like it but can't figure if it's changeable. Any ideas?
Are you using a theme other than the default one?
No, Settings shows the theme is HTC Default
Settings > Accessibility > High contrast text, turn it off.
Some suggestions
Hi akok79,
HTC gives instructions on changing the font on their website. I wonder if changing the font package would update those headers to something solid? Here’s what they say:
You can change the font style and size of the display font or you can download new fonts online.
1. From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Personalize.
2. Under Font, tap Font style and choose one of the built-in fonts or tap to go online and download new fonts.
3. Tap Font size to choose the size of the font.
Downloading fonts
You must be logged on to your HTC Account to download fonts.
1. From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Personalize.
2. Under Font, tap Font style and then tap .
3. Tap to select a category.
4. Select a font style, and then tap Download.
5. Tap Apply.
