hello,
by default - holding the red phone-hangup button brings me to today-screen.
but in my case i don't use the windows mobile today screen at all! i installed pointui - as autostart.
i hardly have any reason to go to the today screen.
can't i change this behaviour somehow ? when i hold the red hangup-button i want to go "back" to pointui - not to today-screen.
in case there's no solution like that - is there at least some kind of today-plugin that could bring me back to pointui home ? maybe so alround-lauch-exe-plugin ?
by the way: i'm talking about WM2003SE!
thank you!
I'm sorry that I do not know the solution to the problem. Please, next time you post, do not make a misleading title (! instead of ?) in the wrong section.
If you can post your device i can tell you if you can use the Long_End.lnk trick.
I can then also move this thread to that device's Forum.
A good start would be to contact or check the PointUI website/forum to see if the home.exe accepts a parameter
(home.exe -h)
To return to the home screen
But the Long_end.lnk does not work on all devices.
Will put this into the general forum as Pointui does not have an active development thread here.
Attached you will find a shortcut file.
Change the .txt to .lnk then copy it to the windows directory on your device. Hold down the read Call Button and keep it pressed.
This may or may not work on your device.
But there was no information about your device or rom either in your signature or post which makes it hard to actually give a good answer to your question.

hello,
the device i'm talking about is a magician.
i changed the Long_end.lnk - to the correct path of Home.exe and copied it to \WINDOWS <---- really windows ? no subfolder ?
i tried - does not change anything. anyway - thank you for the info!
another idea ?

Yeah magician i'm not sure if it has a rom that supports this function.
Touch, Kaiser and some others do. It's hardcoded to the Keyboard driver or keypad driver if i;m correct so i'm not sure it's use able in the Magician.
Oh BTW it should have been Long_End.lnk (Yup no subfolders)
But i have no other suggestion, maybe someone else has.

Hello,
After upgrading to WM6, I found when viewing SMS messages that the left softkey no longer gave the option new, just delete.
I put together this little shortcut which will send you straight to a new SMS.
I then mapped the shortcut to the now defunct video call button.
Download and unzip the attached file. Copy the extracted file to somewhere on you device (I put in in \Windows\AppButtons) and then edited the following registry entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2
amending Default from "\Windows\AppButtons\Video Call.lnk" to "\Windows\AppButtons\New SMS.lnk" (you will need to amend this to wherever you put the New SMS.lnk file)
Hope that helps, but you are amending and playing with your phone/registry so I take no responsibility for anything you mess up!
Sorry if this is a known resolution, but I hadn't seen anything specifically in this forum, and not one with a complete solution.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the little tool. I was wondering if the 'Delete' option could be turned into the old 'New' setting without loosing the video call button?
AFAIK No!
I've searched the forums and nobody seems to have an answer for this. I can't find where in the registry to edit either (I'm no expert of registry settings)
This seems like the only option for now. I think the softkeys in the mail app are hardcoded, so would need someone with more ability than I to take apart the tmail.exe file and make the required alterations. Still after nearly a year of ownership I've never used the video call button, and find it handy to be able to go to a new sms from anywhere on the device. Maybe this will be addressed in a future build of WM6? Or possibly someone will give the option of either NEW / DELETE...
Well.. Thank you for the workaround.
I'm looking for a solution, too.
I HATE that "delete" button, it's really boring!
Please help me!
Hi!
Please help to me! i want to create a shortcut send SMS in PPC, but i don't know how to do that? (example: send "GPRS +" to 8125 by SMS)
Many thanks
1. I don't understand what you want to do.
2. This is the forum for the HTC Universal device, judging by your username, you'd be better asking your question here
(anyone else think that HTC has made life a little complicated calling one of their models the UNIVERSAL...)
try vjphonetools do a search on the forums
Please help me!
Hi!

Many thanks.
Awesome, this is exactly what I needed!
Hello
I have a few questions about cooking WM6 ROM.
Could anybody help me?
1. How to make my own menu start structure?
2. How set my own ring tones to notifications?
3. How to make HTC Home pack with covered contacts, music and profiles tabs?
I know these have been covered elsewhere, but maybe not explicitly and in one place - so:
1) In an Initflashes file, you'll have to tell it to move a shortcut into the \Windows\Start Menu\ folder, or the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder - depending where you want the link to show under the Start menu.
2) Change your ringtone/notifications to the one you want, then look through your registry for it - you might want to look around the HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds and HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications keys. Once you've seen how you want them set up, make (or edit an existing) .rgu to include these changes.
3) Have a look in Alex's excellent kitchen at the existing HTC Home modification packages. These should point you in the right direction for what files and settings to include (don't use HTC Home so can't help more on this).
If you don't know what I mean by any of the above, please do an awful lot more looking around the Wiki and related threads as starting threads around here when the information is here for the finding is a quick method for lots of flaming and not much help (friendly advice - not a threat!)
Good luck.
Thanks for answer.
1) This it’s clear for me. But I don’t know hove to change place of existing shortcut like: Mobile Office, search, Note, etc.
2) I will try this way.
3) I don’t know why, but Alex's HOME packages don’t work correctly on my Polish rom. Can’t use weather and launcher tabs.
4) I had make my own HOME packages based on previous version. In this version I don’t have tabs with settings.

While most shortcuts are set by initflashes files, the ones for those in the ROM are often set by .provxml files. In the case of Office, this is in mxipupdate_office_100.provxml which is in the SYS/Office folder in the kitchen. I just use Notepad to edit it.
Sorry I can't help with the HTCHome bits - just takes up too much space on my Today screen for my liking.
Hey guys, i know that many Chefs here have much plan of Windows Mobile.
Does anyone of you know which reg key had to be changed to use another volume control instead of the one Windows Mobile has build in.
I'm Asking becaus MarcLandis is building a great and fingerfriendly application and it would be great if we could map it to the Volume icon on Taskbar.

C'mon guys, no idea.
I'm only so intrested in this programm, because i'm using my Kaiser as an MP3 Player and i thiunk the volume controll of Windows is not as fingerfriendly as the setvolume app.
It's not wise to bump a thread after only a few hours.
This is a word wide use forum. When some of us are sleeping some parts are reading this forum, and the other way around of course.
Concerning your question: Check your link in the first post. I guess your problem has been solved by the same user that build the application you like so much
Well, I have looked around and found winCE Cab manager as I have googled and searched. There is not just a easy "Answer" that I was able to find, although there might be one right in front of my face.
So, if some can KINDLY just tell me how to make a simple cab, just to change a registry edit, I would be happy.
Just an example as this is a madeup reg keystring:
HKLM-system-htc-software-blah-blah-blah, in key touch, value is set to 0, but I want my cab, once installed to change that value to 1.
I also want to be able to revert back to the original setting if I was to remove the cab.
So, for the short and skinny answer, is there an easy way to make this happen?
will i have to use the WinCE cad maker software, or, do I need something else??
I want my cab to be able to run on my Sprint TouchPro running WM 6.1.
Thanks in advance for the help. And thanks to everyone who refrains from telling me to search as they didn't read the top of my post. Thank you.
Hello all,
I'm trying to learn how to create cab files. I have the WinCe cab program.
Can someone help me with how to create a cab file for an URL?
(There is a cab file which installs an icon for Bank of America, and clicking the icon opens www.bofa.mobi in IE. I would like to create a few more for other banks.)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
If you could attach the .cab so as i can dissect it then should be easy enough to work out how to create another but have never created a .cab to direct link, but willing to try and help.
You can use Opera mini 5 instead, have your URL programmed on one of those tabs.

Seems the MiniPIE is hardcoded with the website address imagine for security reasons, not sure if able to make a link like PIE \ WWW. \ ?resource.dll for the icon, will have a good scrat around
Even easier save the page in .html create .lnk now will just be creating a icon .dll which will depend on site or if using 6.5 can use the numerous software to change the .png?
Thanks for the assistance, stylez.

I confuse meself sometimes
Well if you open up Firefox and go to a page you can go File/Save Page As save as .html then if you put this on your phone when clicked will open up default browser and the page you saved, so rather than placing in start menu you can create a shortcut too it.
Normally with a program you can create a .dll so example google.dll and what i'd do is import a image into it and tell the shortcut to see it instead of just looking like a .html "but @ the mo i'm having no joy"
Now on 6.5 there are numerous programs to change the .lnk image so you may be able to use something like JWMD Icon Changer to do this.
Hope that makes sense

Excellent catch. Thank you very much for finding it and posting it here.
Now here's one problem though. The icon that shows up is a weird windows icon. Is there a way to get the site icon in there??
I guess that's the advantage with having a cab ... It puts in the site icon.
Thanks everyone, for your help.
Please search for 'shortcut icon' on this forum,also has very simple solution.
Looks like you are a huge fan of cab installers, but to make every shortcuts a cab really takes time.

Me too once tried to use complicated ways for this before finally trying the shsimplest method.
Similarly, we can make a shortcut for any files on the phone, only if there is an associated app to it.
Thank you all
Wow ...you guys are awesome.
I was finally able to figure all that out ....
Tools used .. SK Shortcut Manager | GConvert | Icons
Using these I was able to create the icon dll files.... and voila ...it all works ...it all just works ...
Thanks to one and all who helped ....
Like I said ... you guys are awesome ...

Sorry to revive a kind of dead thread but i am attempting to do the same thing.
I have created a .lnk named it BofA.lnk and its target is set to
"\Windows\iexplore.exe" http://www.bankofamerica.com/mobile/
So i now have that in my start menu but the shortcut has the icon of pIE, how do i change the icon to a bank of america one?
idea
Just a link here;
55#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,11?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-5150
Everything after the ? is used to identify the target icon offset in ANOTHER dll/exe/cpl.
Here I made a thread about how to do this. You'll also find some nice Shortcut tricks and (shortcut)applications;
