this is hard to word but ill do my best.
on the home screen, i have "clock", "wifi", "device lock", "task", and sms
the colums are too skinny to push with a finger and i was wondering if there was a waty to make them taller or add a button to go straight to the text when it says i have a new one?
also, when im in a program and need to go back a page, the little x in the corner is hard to push with my thumb. is there a way to make this easier? i was thinking making the "clr" button a back key but i dont know if it can be done
any help very appreciated
ps. i have already got the text size as big as it will go through setting menu

Im slowly going mad with Raphael, HTC didnt make this easy for me.
I only want simple things. Like, one hw-button on top panel of device, that really closes program. I mean REALLY, and EVERY TIME. Not casually, or just leave it hanging there on the background.
But no, this is a luxury I cant have. I always have to try to hit my big thumb into little X at right upper corner.
Lets have an example. Fire up File Explorer. Ok Im done with it and want to close program (by pressing nice and big hw-key, not aiming for small X). Options:
1. I press Home-button. I'm back at home screen and File Explorer running on background.
2. I press Back-button. I'm back at home screen and File Explorer running on background.
3. I press Endcall-button. I'm back at home screen and File Explorer running on background.
...Seriously, WTF??? Why do we have THREE hw-buttons in top panel of Raphael, that do exactly the same thing? And as far as I have observerd, there is no really good solutions yet for remapping these hw-keys.
All I want is:
1. Button that takes me back to Home-screen (obviously Home-button)
2. Button that changes from program to another (alt+tab, I could use Back-button for this)
3. Button that really closes program (obvious choise would be Endcall-button).
Goddommit.
The Back button is really the OK button from previous devices like the Hermes. I agree the Home button is probably useless, but I suppose it's a fast way to get to the Home screen when you're in a call, since pressing Hangup while you're in a call will... hangup the current call.
With all the RAM in the device, is there any reason to really close any apps?
AEBPlus can handle all of them,but the Back button not. Unfortunately the Home button can be handled,but after hitting it,it jumps to Todayscreen and makes the command defined in AEBPlus,so it is unusable. I want to use those 2 buttons for something different as well as some of the keys on keyboard(SMS to OK/Close). As I don't understant 3 buttons for same functions,I don't understand,why we have 2 hw-keys for entering the messaging on the keyboard.

Now that would be perfect in my eyes
Does anyone have a way to get all the menu items to work on the text message screen
Stock Rom, Alltel Touch Pro
See attached screen shot
If I'm not mistaken, you're on the "Conversation" screen -- not in the Inbox. Therefore, I don't think that all of those grayed out option are relevant.
A little weird, but ya...
yeah, i wish it was possible to just have them gone, instead of grayed out. whats the point in graying it out?
I know this is a little O.T but how can you make that menu a bit smaller. If I open it up accidentally during a phone call the only way to close it is to press one of the options.
2 quick questions, they might be something simple sorry but I dont know how to get this to work.
1) How do you unlock your phone without the stylus? I know if you hold the end call key for 3 secs it locks it but I want to unlock the phone without the stylus. I hate ejecting it so the power goes on and then I can slide my finger on the "Lock Icon" left or right to unlock the phone.
2) How do you change the "Lock" Icon mapping? By that I mean its located at the top and I would like to move it to the bottom or middle. Once somehow automatically it was located in the middle and then I rebooted my phone and it went back to the top again.
I don't understand question 1 are you saying you take the styles out to turn the phone on? why don't you use the power button at the top? Then use your finger when it turns on to unlock it. I will admit i don't use the lock fetcher
But i think i understand the second question to move it to the bottom, go to start/setting/today/Items this will have a list of "icons" you have on the main screen select the Device Lock and move it to the bottom of the list. this should move it to the bottom and you are done.
1) you can unlock your phone without pulling your stylus out. press the power button to turn the screen on and then press unlock on the bottom left softkey followed by the confirmation on the center right side of the screen.
on the otherhand what you're asking for is called S2U (slide to unlock) which is an app the mimicks the iphone's lock interface
2) what mapping are you talking about? on the tf3d where the app tab is at? if so, then you just move it by using diamond tf3d tweak OR manually deleting the app and relocating it to where you want it.
Cool thanks for the help on question 1 I didnt know that.
For question 2 the same thing, do you know when the phone is locked and you have that icon that you have to slide left or right so that you can access the main menu on your phone (has the time, contacts, view messages, email etc.). That little bar that reads slide and has a padlock icon in the middle of it. That little button I want to reallign it in the screen. It happened once but I didnt press or change anything for it to happen, it just did.
Bump .
I removed some of the panels from the touchwiz and now my home panel has changed. I.e pressing the home button takes me to the wrong panel.
Can idea how it can be changed back? I have a total of 5 panels now and the center panel should be the home.
I have the same problem. I hope somebody has a fix for that
remove other panels on one side and add them on the opposite side, that's what I had to do once.... just make sure to do it as many screens over you are from your ideal homepage
I posted this question on another forum and no one knows a way to specifically pick your home screen. But after some testing one poster did figure this out. If you have anywhere from 1-3 screens the "home key" screen will be the screen to the far right. If you have 4-7 screens it will be the 4th screen from the left. Odd I know but true. So the only way to have your "home key" Screen to be the middle screen is to have 7 screens which is what I now have.. 4 of which I am not even using. I am hoping this gets changed in an update so that you can actually select which screen you want to be your home screen.
You can easily move the panels around when you go to edit them. An option to quickly pick the home screen would be cool.
Here is what I do:
1. Menu , Edit.
2. Remove panels I do not want by pressing the red minus button.
3. Menu, Save
4. Press the home button. Make a mental note of which panel I was taken to.
5. Menu , Edit
6. Find the panel that I want to be my home screen, drag down then to the right of the panel that is the current home screen. *It will not always be to the right, position depends on the number of panels.
7. Menu, Save.
That's it.

Wow, LauncherPro just keeps sounding better and better.
Is there a way for LauncherPro to snap back to the "center" home screen after a lock? It's leaving off where I left it and I'd really like to always land on my normal home screen. TIA.
should be fixed by going into settting and setting the default page to center or what ever number page is your center..
Maybe you can try the Launcher Pro forum

Same Question I had
That was the same question I had after the new update. As in we got optical scrolling so how about being able to push the optical d pad for home screen!
You can do this with WidgetLocker. It is a paid app, but I have it and like it a lot.
I have WidgetLocker, really like it a lot and did exactly what I'm looking for (pre-LauncherPro).
Example... if I'm on my middle home screen and swipe left, hit an icon for, say, Handcent, open a text message and type away. I then lock my screen, come back to it later and unlock. It will take me to the left screen that I left off from. If I hit the Handcent icon it will take me back into the message that I left off in.
Before I put LauncherPro on my screen I would have done the above actions but the result would be that when I unlock my phone it would always snap back to the center home screen and if I open Handcent it would always open to my list of conversations, not inside the one I left off in.
I realize both small, but I'm trying to figure out if LauncherPro is worth having as a result.
Thanks.
I notice this too. Swipe to the right, play Angry Birds for a while then hit the Home button to go back home and it takes you to the page you left, not the "Default Screen".
The "Home Key Action" setting doesn't have anything to tell it go back to the default screen, so maybe we're outta luck.
