Shortcut to Settings (from Start Menu) - General Topics

Hey anybody know how i can create shortcut to open Settings like pressing Start -> Settings?.
I tried \Windows\ctlpnl.exe \Windows\cplmain.cpl with parameters, but it opens exactly one control panel aplet like "Remove Programs" etc.)

I'm looking to do the same thing and haven't found any way to do it yet.

Hi,
I put this one up. I am looking for the same thing.
We can find informations about creating links to control panel's applets, but i was not able to find how to create a link to the main "Settings" panel.
bye

shortcuts in today screen

hello all
how do i create in the bottom today screen that do the following shortcuts:
1. one the takes me directly start->settings->connections->connetions icon-advanced tap ->select network button (a shortcut the does half the steps is ok if its too hard.
2. one that takes you directly to the running programs in memory.
3. one thats can change the current proxy without manually reintering it every time (i switch between 4 differnt proxies all the time.
4. one that enables and disables wifi.
1 & 2, google for "How to create your own shortcuts to Settings". duh.
1 google for 'ppc control panel shortcuts' and 'phm power toys'
2 ditto
4 vijay555 made one. check his site
For 3. Use a mortscript and change the relevant registry settings to toggle between your various proxies.

have you thought about adding the first two to the start menu? it might be easier to use the running progs that way
@vijay555
i am a complete noob can you post a link or elaborate ferther
@bbobeckyj
how do i make the sortcut in the start menu?
thanks all
there's a thread in the general forum with examples of mortscript
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289197
it certainly doesn't look easy or simple to me though.
to add to the start menu, use file explorer, go to /windows/start menu/ in here you can add 7 items (excluding the programs and settings folder) (you can also add another folder, eg for your favourite progs, etc) just copy a link from the main windows folder list or from the ppc control panel applets.
you can simply add running programs to a hardware button the standard way - settings - buttons - and select memory
I used a great little program called SK shortcut manager (google it) and then used the O2 plus plugin to create large shortcut buttons at the bottom... have a shortcut to my backlight and one to my wireless manager and wifi settings...

Shortcut to Settings Page?

Hello, just curious if there was a way to make a shortcut (with icon) to settings page. HTC Home has one to Programs but would like to have one for Settings too. Would love to get rid of the Start Button.... I have searched but not really found what I am looking for....
Thanks.
not too sure about the actual syntax for the link to the settings folder but this list will show you how to make a direct link to a particular setting...

Cheers
Thanks, but still looking for a way to link to the settings pages, like if I was to click settings from the start bar, but have the link in Home's Application Launcher...

WM6.5 full screen popup menu

Is there any way to change the full screen popup menu in 6.5 to the normal type of pop up menu?
Preferably to the larger type of popup menu (the finger friendly type) instead of the old 6.1/5.0 popup menu
Many thanks
Theres a number of things you can do to get it like that... you can install fingermenu.. or you can use Advanced Config to increase menu text size to LARGE which will make it similar to that.
Thanks Aegishua that is what I have and I dont want the full screen menu.
I just want the normal pop up menu, I have 'borrowed' this picture from elsewhere but I just want this type of menu...
No idea's anybody?
The one you have is...
Rhodium menu enhacement... so i think that feature is cooked inside... you must to find another rom without this feature cooked inside... or maybe there is a reg hack to disable the feature but i dont know where maybe you can search in HKLM/software/htc/
good luck
I would try another rom...
Thanks + QUE
I knew it would be a registry edit somewhere and after spending ages looking I coundent find anything but you hit the nail on the head "Rhodium menu enhacement"
A quick Google for the above pointed me to some cab files on XDA-Developers nd after deleting the entries hey presto I did look here but I did not know what the real name of the new style menu was so for anyone else intrested follow this...
Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMENUS
Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCSCROLL
Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\RESPROXY
Then navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\MASD and delete the two items HTCSCROLL and MENUENHANCEMENT
Then navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PKG and delete the item SHADOW
Then vavigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\MENU and delete the item CUIHANDLER
Thats it, enhanced menus but not full screen.

Help...problem with setting link!

Hi guys, i didn't find a solution.
I have disabled for mistake the TouchFlow3D form Today setting. I didn't have the setting link from start menu (from start menu i can only open programs and explore folder) and without touch flow i can't go to setting and reactivate the TF3D. How can i put setting link using explore folder?
Sry for my english...i don't know if it's easy to understand.
Tnx for attention guys.
Please guys i can't use telephone like this...
Here is what you need to do:
Press the home key
Click the windows icon on the top left of the screen
The last 2 entries in the displayed list will say "Programs" and "Settings" - you need to click on "Settings"
You are now in the "Personal" tab in Settings - click on the "Today" icon
There are 2 tabs in this screen - "Appearance" and "Items" - you need "items"
A sorted list of the "Plugins" available in the today screen are listed. You need to tick the one called "TouchFLO 3D
Sorted!

hanks, but if I had setting button I did not make the thread....I don't have setting button so i can't go to "today"! help me...how can i enter in Setting across Explore folder???
I can't understand why your settings menu would disappear - is it possible the language on the phone is displaying "settings" as some other word?
Anyway, there are many other ways to go into "Settings" - here is just one option:
Install mortbuttons from http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=mb_overview&action=view&menu=14
Use your file explorer to go to \windows\Start Menu\Programs\Mortbuttons
Run the file "Settings (MB).lnk"
Select the "Today" icon and then use the instructions in my above post to switch TouchFLO on.
Can I say that for a guy with just 3 posts, I think the tone of your posts is a little agressive considering you are asking people to give freely of their time to help you. I was going to ignore your response, but am giving you the benefit of the doubt because of possible language misinterpretations.
Maybe try to give a little with your future posts!
Thanks so much for help.... I want to tell to all guys sorry for my tone, i don't know if what i wrote was correct...Thanks again for all patience.

[Q] TP2 WM6.5 Today Screen Help

I have a Sprint TP2 with the SPrint WM6.5 ROM.
I am using the "Windows Default" Today Screen Items because HTC Sense is so slow and makes my phone screw up all the time now.
I like it, but I would like to modify which items are on the list. How can I do that?
I can change the items on the list, but once u select the Windows Default, you cannot select anything else. I like the default, but just want to add/remove some stuff.
Thanks in Advance!
Any ideas?
there should be a setting for start menu that allows you to change which programs appear in the pull down menu. i've been using the sense menus lately so i forget how to go back to tell you exactly where to find it but i know its somewhere. if i stumble upon it i'll let you know.

In stock rom there isnt that many options to check/choose from cuz its WM 6.5
To check what is available go to Settings -> Today -> items (tab)
(could be different in Sprint version)
Hope this helps
EDIT:
I hope we were on same page.. or not.. if you want to edit quick links then all you have to do is access pull down menu and on bottom right corner select delete then select all apps to remove them.. after you hit done then plus + sign should show up.. click on it and select app that you want in that place
If I go to the settings for Today, I can choose multiple items, but it looks bad. If I choose Windows Default on the menu, I cannot choose any other items. So I am looking for a way to customize whats in that Windows Default setting. I thought it would be a registry entry or something, but cannot find it.

as far as i know you wont be able to add any stuff same way as you were able to do it in WM 6.0.. Do some research on Spb shell. you may like that or check out Iphone Today Theme on xda-devs.
I have been looking but haven't found anything yet.
I just want to add some items that fit into the Windows Default Today screen item. They already have those slider buttons and I would like to add some new ones.
Try "Home Screen Customizer". I use it to add a contacts panel and a weather panel, but it can do more. You can install it through Windows Marketplace too. Oh, did I mention it's free ? Here's a direct link to the application site: http://homescreencustomizer.spaces.live.com or the link from Marketplace. Hope this is what you're looking for. Thanks.
Doesn't Show Missing Calls?
Hello,
I JUST upgraded to MR2 from verizon on my touch pro 2. My main concern is that it does not show the missed calls on the home screen anymore. I have to go to notifications to click on missed calls to see them.
When i was looking around i saw this thread:
ww.wmexperts.com/tags/touch-pro-2
(sorry i had to take the w out of www to be able to get the link above to post)
and it shows a picture of my phone, with the MR2 upgrade WITH the missed calls showing!
What am i doing wrong? How do i get my missed calls to show back up on the screen.
as a side note, it also shows calendar items, my phone also does not show calendar items. It seems to me that my first row of quick links is up too high (that is where the missing calls and calendar show up on the picture for MR2)
Hi, I just bought a stock Sprint Touch Pro 2 and I really want to find the option that I can disable the HTC sense.
I have tried to find the settings tab but actually my 'settings' is not the one I want. Following is the list of all options in this settings:
Personalize (wallpaper, etc)
Wireless Controls (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile networks, push mail)
Sound & Display
Data Services (options for ActiveSync, social networks, e-mail, etc)
Location (set location service options)
Security (encryption, phone lock and reset)
Application (remove programs, etc)
SD card & phone storage (view available storage)
Date & Time
Locale & text
Updates & feedback
Other (miscellaneous settings - none appear to be relevant)
About phone (battery status, device info)
So by which I can disable the HTC sense?
Thanks first.

Since you are using Win 6.5 and HTC sense is still on you will have to go by this path -
Go to setting > bottom right there is "Menu" written click that > will give you an option of " All Settings " select that > then find the icon name " Today " select that > it will take you to a screen where u will have two tabs on the bottom left - " Appearance" & "Items" here select " Items " > You will have a list of itmes the third one will be will be checked -"HTC Sense" - uncheck it > then click OK on the top right.
You will now have HTC sense disabled. If you want to re-enable just check it again and click OK !
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much for your reply, abhisahara
I have got it
Thanks again!
