Hi all,
WM6.1 on an htc tytnII.
I would like to lock down the device so that, when the user launches the settings, they only get access to the Personal tab. How can this be done?
Also, how are Settings launched anyway..it just seems to be a folder??
I am using SpbKiosk but don't see a way to do it with that
Thanks,
Craig

I'm trying to get a program I installed to have a short-cut on the today screen. However, its not showing in the list under Start > Settings > Personal tab > Today
Is there any other way of getting a shortcut on the today screen, or getting a program to appear in the list of programs that can be selected from the settings menu?
Cheers!
James
Hi, you could manually create a shortcut of the program, and put it in the start menu, located under device/windows/start menu. You need a file manager to do this.
Bye.
Normaly you won't be able to make shortcuts on the today screen whith the method you want...
Some 3rd party apps whith Today plugins allow to add shortcuts to the plugin... Such a today plugin is shipped whith your PDA (if you have an original TC, not the O2 version...), the plugin is the HTC Home plugin which has a shortcuts tab. It allows for 9 shortcuts to be set.
If you find the HTC Home too bulky, there are always alternatives, like SPB Pocket Plus 4, Resco Toolbar (comes whith Resco Explorer), and so on...
Ahh... sorry, I misunderstood. I was thinking to the start menu.
Installed programs should appear in the startmenu automaticaly... atleast into the programs folder... If you want to add programs to the dropdown menu, then go to Settings -> Menu...

Hey ppl,
I just upgraded my Touch Cruise to WM6.1 with the official ROM from the HTC site. It installed without any problems. I've noticed that the music tab is missing from my HTC Home menu. I checked in the settings, and the music option was checked. I unchecked it, and then checked it, and still no luck. I disabled HTC Home, and then reenabled it, but to no avail.
I checked some websites that show how to adjust the tabs using a registry editor. I did this (added a new string called TabSetting and made the value 1,2,3,4,5) and HTC Home responds to it by showing all tabs except the music tab (which is tab 5). I don't know what's wrong. If I adjust the registry value (e.g. make it 1,2,3) then it shows those 3 tabs only, which means it works for all the tabs except the music tab.
When I select Today in the Settings page, I have the Appearance tab and the Items tab. On my previous ROM, I Installed the HTC Home 6 Tab plugin, and that gave me the extra tab in the Today Settings page to choose which tabs I wanna show in HTC Home. So I installed the 6-tab plugin, and tried to adjust it there. It makes changes to the registry value TabSetting, but still HTC Home does not show my music tab!
I've flashed the ROM again, I've hardreset .... but it won't work. Can anyone figure this out please?
Also, is it just me or has the SMS become slower? I like the threaded SMS idea, but for some reason when I'm typing, I have to type a lot slower than my previous ROM.
On the upside, WM6.1 seems to be quicker in doing some other things. Let's hope my HTC Home problem is not permanent ...
Edit: yes, I've been to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396016&highlight=music+tab+htc+home and it didn't solve my problem no matter how many times I've tried. I've even followed the YouTube video about this.
Just fixed it. I found a link for the HTC Home plugin for the original ROM of the Touch Cruise, and it now shows my music tab.

Can you post the link? Thanks
hello, can you please help me about modifying those tabs? I have a toshiba tg01 and i have this today screen.
Hi.
What you want?
change items or change arrangment or change view?
when you are in touch flo3D on home tab, Tap on Menu. (right key)
then select "personalized Home screen tabs" and you can do some changes!

@nima, i know that, but i don't have touchflo 3D. i have only that one, 'cause i have toshiba tg01.
Or, much better, can I have htc sense on my device, without implementing it in a rom?
that's titanium, you're using wm 6.5 right?
search for chome editor
yes @nap007, it is titanium. it is the official rom for toshiba tg01. thx, i'm searching it now.
Or disable it in the Today config and use your normal today screen plugins.. I personally can't stand Chrome or TF3D.
i like htc sense, but i don't have any kind of installation files for toshiba.
and what do you want to do with it? if you want to change/editing panels then I suggest looking for Chome editor.
How do you deal with spammers here?? We hate them at my home site!!!
Poster above is definitely a spammer!!!
@Tester30 what's your reason to believe that I'm a spammer? I'm trying to figure out how can i install another interface, like htc sense on my toshiba tg01, or even to modify the titanium version that I have it installed on my device. Do you think that this is a spam?

eny one can help to me to upgrade qtek 2020 from windows 2003 to wm 6.5
I recently was given the TP2 as a replacement phone by Sprint which already has the update to Windows Mobile 6.5. I was told that this phone has the auto rotation so that i do not have to extent the keyboard to see my screen in landscape format.
This option is not available in Windows 6.5. A friend of mine has the TP2 for AT&T and they have the auto rotation option in ther G-Sensor options.
Is there a tweak that will enable this feature on my Sprint device?
Will it apply to all apps or only certain apps on the device?
Are the any other tweaks out there that will remove all the overhead apps from the device as well? It does run slower than my old Touch Pro.
Thanks,
BeauGManIII
This feature is automatically enabled on sprint 6.5 stock rom. Maybe you installed something that broke the feature. Try a hard reset.

Thank you for the reply and suggestion. I haven't installed anything on the phone yet. I did notice that it rotates on the browser, pictures and recently discovered texting also. I was under the impression that this phone would change orientation for all applications and not just these. Was I mistaken?
Also, looking for something that will get rid of the many apps that are bogging down the OS and hindering performance. The phone is really slow and lagging in response.
Where Is My Ram is a good app to find what apps are taking the most space and you can delete them with this app as well.
http://mypaq.net/mobilesoft/wimr/
Many of the apps about which you are concerned are in ROM so can't be removed.
Most of these do not auto-run, though, so just sit there passively in the ROM. To which "many apps" are referring?
Follow up
Forgive me for not responding sooner. I'm not sure what apps are loaded that seem to be taking up so much of my program memory. I don't have any programs installed to the phone except Instant Messager, but my Program Memory is down to only 32MB.
Regarding the auto rotation question, i saw another blog with ppcgeeks.com that suggest using gyrator or bsb gconfig to enable the auto rotation function on any program. Does anyone know anything about these utilities?
I'm confused. you have 'nothing' installed, yet you want an app to remove what you have not installed.
The autorotation will really slow it down. I've used one called 'changescreen_inst'.

Yes, you were mistaken, or misinformed. Some apps will not change. Some will.

I use changescreen now on my VZW TP2 running MightyROM and CHT. I haven't noticed any noticable slow down. I was going to suggest changescreen and think he should give it a try to see if it works for his needs. It is pretty configurable in that you can specify programs that you want to autorotate that don't do so by default.
Try this:
- Make Sense 2.5 auto rotate -
1. Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\M oduleName
2. Create A New String
3. Set "Value Name" = "Manila"
4. Set"Value Data" = "\Windows\Manila.exe"
5. Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\W hiteList
6. Create A New String
7. Set "Value Name" = "Manila"
8. Set "Value Data" = "Manila"
9. Softreset
Hi,
I've been using my HTC Touch2 for a while now.
I decided to turn of the TouchFLO homescreen as it seems to use a lot of my free memory. I use a customized (used Home Screen Customizer - free from the marketplace) , default WM6.5 home screen now. It makes it faster ^^
The indicator raised from 45% to 70% in a day with all apps closed...
But TouchFLO also had a nice additional feature - all 'dropdown menu's ' or whatever you'd call it on a phone became way more touch friendly. (Those that open when holding your finger in file explorer for example, or when you click file in pocket word)
Is there a way to enable these menu's without enabling touchFLO?
I also prefer the HTC settings panels, that were only accessible from the TouchFLO home screen. I already found the sound settings (htcsoundsettings.exe) but I wonder if anyone knows more .exe files - for selecting backgrounds etc. Or a list of all files in the windows folder by default - it takes ages to load, when sorting is accidently set to 'File type' it takes like 15 minutes sometimes...
Also I'd like to add links to the settings menu of the start menu but so far I've only been able to add icons to the start menu or other subfolders and not the settings one
Thanks in advance,
JSO
Have you tried M2DCustomizer? If you mean saving up battery u might wana try custom roms
No, thank you for the link I'm sure it will help me.
But it didn't really help me out with my question - can I keep just the dropdown menu's without anabling TouchFLO/Manila2D from the Home Screen settings...

Hello, having read your message hope I understand well. You want a combination of features but foremost a lot of free Ram. Touch flow takes if I am correct 8-12Mb which your device should be able to handle.
This tweak will help you with Ram consumption aswell as regular soft reset or Ram cleaner.....several available on XDA.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ResProxy\ShareMemS ize=0 (Increase free memory)
I agree with member Deepak that choosing a custom Rom offers best of both worlds. But also here you have to make the choice Touch flow or not.....having only parts is not possible (unless built in Rom).
Thanks all for your effort, but I think I finally found something:
/showthread.php?t=540922 (can't post link because my account is not approved )
This allows me to disable touchFLO while still using the nice menu's; downloading right now
Yeah, used this on my previous Rom (WM 6.1) aswell. Was not happy with the result since it did not work flawless.....dissappear after soft reset, not working with some programs etc.
But see if it works for you. Success.
