I've just received a new Vox and am trying out Goodlink on it. It doesn't seem to suit the phone very well!
I've been using a Hermes and really like the Vox's form factor when compared to it. However, I was thinking that the screens would be similar as they both have the same resolution (240x320), but the fonts are much larger on the Vox and much less info is displayed.
So Goodlink displays fewer lines than on the Hermes' display and there's some weird corruption at the bottom of every screen. Also, in some of the preferences screens, I can't work out how to save anything as the OK button is obscured by the battery and signal strength indicators.
Lastly there are no shortcuts to the Goodlink applications on the home screen or in the Programs folder. The only way to start it is via File Explorer.
Anyone had more luck than me?
Ok I realised what I had done....I restored my Goodlink install from my Hermes, so had the wrong version installed! Oops
Anyway, it all seems to work well now

I have a little problem regarding the size of the desktop / Today screen on my PDA (Wizard @ WM6).
When I connect my PDA to my PC with AS, additional icon appears in the tray (even though I removed init_tray.lnk) - but that's not the problem itself.
The problem is that additional sliding bar appears on the right side of the screen. The Today plugins do not fit the Desktop anymore, so all the contents of Today is "squezzed" and moved a little bit to the left to make space for the sliding bar.
When I disconnect, the icon & additional bar disappear but the Today items do not go back to fill the whole screen, but keep "squeezed" :O I haven't managed to find any option to refresh Today screen in order to make it filled with the plugins again.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this, please?
Its a long shot, but if you were to go to Settings->Today-> Items, and click on ok (without doing much there), most of the plugins will refresh.
You could try this.....

That would almost certainly work - if you fancy a few less taps to achieve the same result, then there is a program that should (not tested it myself, so not 100% sure!) do the job for you.
Get it from http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=refresh_today - the author, t0flus, is an xda-devs member (his Group SMS app is posted on one of the forums), so he may be able to offer assistance if needed.
I'm guessing all you'd need to do is to copy the exe onto your phone and stick a shortcut to it in your programs menu.
Cheers,
Mark.
I have the same problem on mine and all I do is slide the keyboard out about halfway so it changes the screen to landscape and then slide it back in and everything goes back to the way it was before. No software needed.
Hi guys I hope someone can help. I'm using nncuong UNI 2.11.11 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.1) with 1.18 radio and a blank ext and fresh out of the box it was great aside from one problem.
Both in IE and in the pda (settings page, in the backlight setting dialogue etc) some text is 'hidden' like I need to scroll down, but I can't. I went and made the font size smaller in settings (and in IE) but it doesn't help. It's as though sometimes stuff doesn't quite 'fit' and I can't read the last bit of info in a dialogue box etc.
I can't see anywhere to switch resolution, I saw something that indicated it was at 640 but I can't remember where. Also sometimes I want to scroll to the right in IE as I can't see the right side of the page, but there is no scroll bar. Only sometimes.
Last issue is that the battery monitor icon was there when I booted up but it's vanished and I don't know how to get it back.
Can anyone help? Other than this I think it's okay.
Greg.
hi there!
I downloaded JUVS HTC Large Titlebar and HTC Enlarge Start menu CABs and installed both on my E-TEN M800 (VGA).
They installed fine and I now have the "large start menu" item in my system settings.
But when I check the checkbox to turn it on, it still doesnt enlarge.
I rebooted the device and still nothing. I basically only need the zooming of the notification icons in the start-bar.
have I missed something? do i need additional files?
thanks
Bernhard
the old one just for QVGA, try this one, but dun know can it work on ETEN
thanks, but it doesn't work.
maybe it needs touchFLO so its only activated when you use the finger? or something like that?
No touchflow wouldnt make a difference on this. Unfortunatly some of the items on here will only work with HTC devices and i think this may well be one of them im afraid. Unless anyone else can shed any light
Tried the Large Start Menu once on my iPAQ, and what I found was that the service (htcStartMenuService.dll) doesn't automatically start. Using DotFred's Taskmanager to manually start the service made the large start menu appear... until the next soft reset.
The same thing probably happens with the large titlebar thing.
thanks ridolfo, this works!
now i have to find a way to start it automatically on reboot
makes my e-ten even more userfriendly!
edit: i just added this nice and useful taskmanager to my StartMenu and on reboot, i open it, go to the services tab and click the little start icon for the LargeTitleBar service. thats it.
works like a charm.
IIRC, you can even open it on the services tab, using a command-line switch. Have a look in the "About" screen for possible command-line switches (I think it's in the "About" screen, but I'm not sure).
I'm still hoping that someone can explain why some of the HTC services do auto-start, but others don't.
yes, because when you install the LargeTitleBar it correctly creates its entry in the Registry and is bound to be started, but somehow it doesnt.
In my brand new HTC Touch Cruise, large menu option is ticked, but after playing around with apps or settings it becomes small, allthough it's still ticked. I have to disable and reenable it to make it big again. It's a bit of a problem, as it happens often. Advice would be appreciated.
same problem
couldn't this problem be fixed by some registry entires ?
I mean to put an application into autostart shouldn't be a problem, well for me, as a hardcore newp it is acutally, but maybe not fo you guys
on my xperia x1 i've got the same problem .

Hi! at all!
Have you found a solution?
Hi
I'm not particulary impressed with the TouchFlo interface. It seems very rough around the edges, for example when you reply to a text message you get an HTC message thread, but if you select to send a new text message the TouchFlo dumps you back to the standard SMS message screen of Windows Mobile. The HTC message thread view becomes incredibly slow when you have a lot of text messages for a single contact as it wants to load all of them, not just the most recent, which seems bad programming.
It also consumes CPU cycles constantly even when not doing anything which all adds to battery drain.
So I've started to try and get rid of it.
This is what I have done so far:
1) In the Today settings unticked TouchFlo, this gets rid of a chunk of it.
2) Disabled the notification service, this allows clicking on the individual icons for battery etc and you go straight to those settings/information dialogs.
3) Disabled the EnlargeStartMenu setting so the start menu is the normal font size.
Things still remain, and I would like to know how to get rid of them if anyone knows:
a) The TouchFlo style volume control still appears, I want the original back which allows setting individual volumes for system and ringing.
b) Dialogue boxes still have the TouchFlo styling, how do I revert back to.
I've also been able to add HTC Home and all in all the device is so much better and faster.
Regards
Phil
maybe you can try one of those "manila-free" roms that are starting to appear in the roms section.
HTC has changed a lot in the Operating system, that's why you can't simply turn off those "skins" like in volume control, I think... At least I didn't find until now a way to get rid of it.
Wait for a simple 6.1 ROM without touchflo and its touchflonettes (lol)
How did you disable the notification services?

I used 'Task Manager 3.1' to edit the registry, under the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services is an entry for 'NOTIFICATION MANAGER', I changed the DLL key value to 'xNotificationManager.dll' so it wouldn't load, and this removed it.

You can disable 'single volume' and get the old style in TF Settings tab > Sound.
I'm with you buddy - see my thread on "Getting Rid of TF3D" for more info.
Loving my TD2 without TF3D - it's been a few weeks now and there's absolutely nothing I miss about TF3D. The TodayAgenda plugin is....just.....awesome.

I've sorted this out, it was some software loading when the device starts to skin the volume control.
The key is at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services\HTCVolume
to stop it loading I renamed the DLL under the key 'Module' so it couldn't be loaded and this now keeps the standard volume controls.
Regards
Phil
i know this is an old thread, but htc has two volume controls as well:
change HKLM\software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\ SimpleMode to 0
Just deactivate it from the today settings and you should be fine, it doesn't take up that much space.
EDIT: I just went back to WM6.1 from a cooked WM6.5 ROM, I'm going to buy SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 because I think it's more indepth than TF3D is even tho I love TF3D.
Save yourself the trouble of MBS 3.5 - it's the most bugged piece of junk i have ever seen, and in fact i have asked for my money back under their 30 days refund policy
TF3D is WAAAY better than MBS3.5 - and MBS 3.0 is waaay better than 3.5

Use my TD2 Tools app, its in a sticky thread at the top of the topaz general forum.
It has options to disable htc notification manager and htc volume control as well as options to bring back the small start menu! you didnt look very far guys! lol

Everything you said here was either wrong or lies
After installing O2's WM6.1 ROM update on my Orbit II, I installed SPB Mobile Shell 3, but after removing this, there's a thick blank line under (and about the same height as) the top menubar, as if there's a blank today plug-in at the top. and any enabled plug-ins load under this blank area. I don't remember seeing this problem prior to installing SPB MS, but I could be wrong about that.
I have noticed an item in 'Programs' called Large Title Bar, but this seems to make no difference so I've no idea what it really is supposed to do, but it does sound relevant.
Anyone any ideas what can cause this blank space and how to get rid of it?
