Is it possible to have multiple same tabs in HTC-Home...
For example, I would like to have multiple contacts tab !!!
yes i would like the same is it possible anybody?????
If you mean the Home, Favourite People, Weather, Launcher etc. icons then yes, it is possible.
Using a Registry editor Go to: HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\TabSetting (If you don't have the string TabSetting, Create a new String and name it to "TabSetting" and give it the values you want.)
There you will see the value: 1,2,3,4,6 (Each of these is a tab. Note there are no spaces between the numbers and commas)
1 = Home (Time + Date)
2 = Contact shortcuts.
3 = Weather
4 = Program shortcuts.
5 = Music schortcut. (Originaly it's hidden with this tweak you can active it.)
6 = Profile Manager.
The only thing you have to do is changing the values in TabSetting.
You can add or delete the tabs when you have no use of it.
So having a TabSetting of 1,2,3,4 will show Home, Favourite People, Weather and Launcher.
Having a TabSetting of 1,3,4,5 will show Home, Weather, Launcher and Music Player
I've just tried on my phone setting it to 1,2,3,4,5,6,2 and I did get two Favourite People icons. However, both icons took me to the same contact list.
There's nothing stopping you setting the TabSetting to 2,2,2,2,2,2 to have all your icons set to Favourite People.
Cool...
But my idea is to have more than 9 contacts - inside HTC-Home itself
Any thoughts
Thanks for the info, but with all due respect, having 5 icons on the bottom all linking to the same contact list may be fun, but not really useful.
Slightly off topic, you may want to look at some commercial software, such as Spb Mobile Shell, which gives you three dialer/contact buttons, with as many links as you can fit on it (approx 25 per page).
There may also be some freeware out there like claunch but I can't remember if it allows for contacts.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Alex,
as I said - I would PREFER to have HTC home always - I am impressed... and I would like to have that as my only plugin.
I love SPB for its colors / design and have tried all products before. I am trying to make my device as 'HTC only' as possible... If no options available - I would jump to SPB (I have a PAID for the Mobile Shell and lots of SPB prods)
Thanks
i tried to modify registry and set 1,2,3,4,5 but nothing happened. why?
i also made a softreset. anybody can help me?
I prefer neat screen,so I am not using Touchflo and configuring my desktop thru Settings\Today\Items.However there are only built-in and limited shortcuts available in that section.How can I add in my intended software shortcuts, in order that I can select them by checking the corresponding optional boxes, and make them appear in my Today desktop?
Would anyone like to help? Thanks in advance...
Hi,

Anyone know where the exe for the manillia people app is?
I am using Co0kie monsters excellent homescreen and prefer to link my individual contacts on each of the quick links, but want to put a quick link to the manillia people app and not the horrid WinMo contacts app but other than being on the homescreen tabs can really find the program to make a shortcut to it on the device...
Any help?

Why not simply "slide left" to go directly to the people page? (by default it is the second tab)
--or-- make a shortcut link to \windows\manila.exe --switchtopage people.page
then touch "All People" to load the detail page. There may also be a shortcut to load the All People detail app directly, but I don't know of it, sorry...
Cheers for the reply... I was trying to get my tabs as minimul as possible to only 4 and the settings plus I dont like the big people icons on the people tab normally... will try to make a shortcut, cheers
i believe there are mods to do that in the tweaks, you make the icon smaller and transparent. otherwise hide the tab completely by sliding over to the right for settings tab. click on personalize then home screen tabs. uncheck and clear the boxes of all the unwanted tabs. just make a shortcut at your home screen. i generally just hit phone at the bottom in the menu to get to my phonebook.
On my HD2 I'm trying to add quick link favorite bookmarks and sometimes I get a thumbnail and sometimes not.
With CHT 2.0 I can only get a couple of websites to show up as quick links without displaying the generic 'bookmark' thumbnail.
The older version of CHT seemed like I only needed to visit those webpages once and then it would 'cache' a thumbnail.
The new one is driving me nuts..I have it set to 'hide' text so if I don't have a thumbnail of the website I can't tell which bookmark is which.
Help! Anyone solved this issue? I've tried browsing to these websites with both IE and Opera and so far only CNN and ESPN have successfully shown up as quicklinks with actual thumbnails.
??? i was referring to cookie's home tab app..not gmail.
Hi everyone!
Sometimes when I'm reading articles on my phone, I will send it to my email to reread later. However, for some reason the icon's on my share menu keep rearranging themselves and I have to scroll to find my email client.
Is there anyway to customize the menu so that the apps that I want to use are where I want them?
Thanks!
