Locked "boxes" on touchflo start menu - how to unlock/remove? - General Questions and Answers

Hi!
Is there any way of unlocking (so I can remove them) the first four places on the touchflo3d start menu? They just point to tabs, and that feels so utterly unecessary. They also take up the best spots for proper applications, which annoys me even further.
I've googled a bit, but since I can't really even figure out what I would search for, it's not going too well. My apologies if this has been addressed before.

From Someone else, forgotten who the creidt goes to:
"To unlock the default top four icons on the program launcer...
HKLM > Software > HTC > Manilla > ProgramLauncher
then choose your icon to deselect (0-3 although I recomend only changing number 1 and number 2, (people + Calendar) you will probably want to keep Home and Settings as I haven't found a way of getting them back once they're gone!)
"IsReadOnly" set to 0, Soft reset, et voila."

Thanks a bunch both to you and this someone else.

Question on Slider home screen

Hello friends, I got the WM6.1 Plane Jane Final by Ricky installed on my Cingular 2125 and I'd like to change the tabs on my home screen.
I have used the CHome Settings tool in Settings tab to hide a few tabs that I don't need (My Faves, Internet etc). When I exit the CHome Settings program, it asks me whether to save and I always say "yes". When I am back to the home screen, I see it changed.
BUT, on restart, I lose everything ! All the default tabs along with default pages are back. So, is there a way I can make this permanent?
Is it a known problem, is there a solution for it? I tried searching, but didn't help much. Thanks for any help.
i have the same question
but sometimes i restart the cellphone it was still Ok

Clicking Start, Programs won't open Programs list

Clicking Start, Programs no longer brings up the Programs list on my Fuze. Instead, it takes me to the "Home" screen in TouchFlo (as if I had pressed the Home button.)
I think the Start menu link became "broken" after running \Windows\folderview.exe. (I was hoping to create a shortcut to the list of Programs.) Also, when running folderview.exe, the Programs list has 3 columns of icons...the 4-column tweak doesn't work with folderview.exe. However, clicking Start, Settings still works, and the tweak to enable 4 columns of icons is in effect for the list of Settings icons.
Does anyone have any clue as to what might have happened and how I might be able to fix it (short of performing a hard reset!) I've performed several soft resets to no avail....
Thanks for any help/suggestions!

possible solution
Try to open it in landscape mode (with keyboard out). If it works, you need to disable Large Start Menu in TouchFlo settings, it tends to freeze in portrait mode when you have too many shortcuts in the start menu. (you can alternatively remove somme shortcuts but the limit is way too low for my tastes )
Hope this helps
[Solved] Clicking Start, Programs won't open Programs list
Wonderful!!!! That fixed it. I guess the problem wasn't related to folderview.exe after all. Thanks so much!

lost settings icon in start menu

Hi,
is there any way to access settings apart from the start menu?
I noticed that the settings icon disappeared in my start menu (I'm using custom WM6.5 ROM). Is there a way how to get it back?
Thanks in advance for all advices!
You do not provide enough information to really help you.
Info such as WHAT custom ROM, what interface, etc.
So with that, if you are running Manila there is a settings tab.
If you have flashed a ROM that took it out, ask in that thread for a fix.
If you cooked your own ROM and its missing, check your kitchen and recook.
As visible from my signature, I'm using Essential 3.3 and the icon used to be present in the start menu. One day it just disappeared.
Still, settings were accessable from Manila (settings tab -> more). However, after disabling Manila (using settings tab -> more -> today), there's no way how to enter settings again.
I'd just like to find a way how to get the icon back OR how to access the settings apart from the wm6.5 start menu. Thanks again.
I've find that by searching in Registery:
HKLM / SECURITY / SHELL / START INFO / HideSettings = 1
change the key to 0, and then, you'll have the WM Settings menu in start menu of WM6.5.
I have TD2 with new Rom HTC WM6.5, and it works well for me.
I hope it will be the same for you.
In Sense, go to settings and look at the botton left option taht says "all settings"
That one should take you to where you want to go (the Bronze settings menu screen for System, Home, Connctions etc...)

Customizing Keys in WM 6.5

A couple things I want to customize:
(1) When dialing a call, I have to use the touch screen to dial numbers... unless I lock it into number mode first, then I can use the keyboard.
How can I make it default to number lock??
(1) The power button only works for waking up the screen.
How can I make the power button turn off screen or power off phone??
(3) Want to add icons to Home screen. Tried CHome Editor, but it's not working for me. No matter what I do, It won't commit any new panels or icons. It will only add or remove icons that are already part of the Windows Default.
Any ideas??
(4) And one more thing... The clock is not syncing with the provider. And I can't find a setting to make it.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
I looked around a little bit but didn't see any other threads with answers so I started a new one. Is that ok?

Remove Settings Tab from Home Screen Tab Slider

Question: how do I remove the "Settings Tab" from the Home Screen Tab Slider?
I can get to the Settings by pressing the Windows-Logo physical button at the bottom of the phone and then choosing Settings... hence I don't need the Settings Tab on the slider. In Settings > Personalize > Home Screen Tabs ... can un-tick all but Home and Settings ... I want to do the equivalent of un-ticking Settings.
tried searching but get lots of results on how to get rid of everything else but the settings tab.
ANSWER: found it
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > HTC > Manila > Configuration > # (where # is a number from 0 to 16 based on where you have the Settings Tab in the Home Screen Tabs slider order)
Name-----------Data
================
Enable..............1
PageName.........Manila://settings.page
Title.................Settings
Change the Enable to a 0 (00000000)
WARNING: will need to re-enable this flag to add and remove tabs to the Home Screen Tabs slider ... but good way to stop someone from playing with my phone and adding the twitter addition.
You cant get rid of it (and it makes sense). Tell me p.ex. how you would access the windows-settings without the tab (unless you didnt activate "show normal settings in startmenu" via BSBTweaks or similar). Thats the reason why HTC made in untickable.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Couldn't you just click start and select Settings, even with a stock HD2?
Hi there.. How do we make the icons under Settings screen to be in alphabatic order..?
Ooops
I thought I have a smart idea...
The hint with removing the settings tab in the slider brought me to an other point.
I was always annoyed be the Home-Tab. I dont need it, since I can reach the home screen with the Home key (hardware key). So it is redundant. At lease I thought so.
I removed the Home-Tab - it worked immediately! And from that moment on the I couldn't reach the homescreen anymore.
Conclusio: Good Tweak - with unexpected result.
At least I am no longer annoyed by the home tab.
