Help with Removing dead Icons in my new ROM

Hey everyone. I decided to cook myself a new ROM. I removed a bunch of programs but I now have two dead shortcuts. One is the Sliding Sounds app in Settings\Personal and the other is TouchFlo in Settings\System. I tried to locate them on the device and attempt to delete them with Total Commander but can't seem to find them. Any ideas on how to get those blank icons out of there? Are they registry entries? Thanks in advance.

For TouchFlo, remove this key (in rgu | OEMApps):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet25]
"CmdLine"=""
"Name"="TouchFLO Settings"
"Path"="TFSettings.exe"
"Title"="TouchFLO"
For Sliding sounds, just remove all key/string that has 'sliding'
(in OEMDrivers & OEM_Lang_**** rgu) & all corresponded files.

If i remember correctly, sliding sounds is in one of the provxml files...maybe 105 in the operator pkg file in oem. if not try the the other provxmls.

You guys are awesome, thanks for the help.

Actually I just deleted the key for TouchFlo as you stated and even after a reset it is still showing up as a blank shortcut icon in Settings...Any other ideas?
EDIT: I went into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\MyCpl\ and removed the coresponding numbered file....is this ok? It removed those blank shortcuts.

try looking in OEMApps for TFLOsettings.lnk or something similar and delete it

In case anyone was wondering, my problem was that I didn't edit the initflashfiles.dat and the mxip_HtcApps_translation.provxml files correctly before cooking my ROM. All good now. Thanks again guys.

HTC Task Manager icon missing

Hi. I'm running Manila 2D 19 and I have HTC boot launcher, task manager, and quick menu installed. I believe those are all the programs I need for it to work, but the top right corner is just blank.
I did a search and found people referring to an option under settings --> task manager --> buttons --> enable in quick menu? But I don't have that option.
Weird thing is that it works fine with Manila 2D 22. Any suggestions? Thx.

I have the same problem, I searched alot in the forms for a solution without getting good resluts. Can anyone help with this issue?
I have HTC Cruise 2 with WM6.1.

I had the same problem. Installed some kind of HTC taskmanager (Google helps) and after that witk SKTools changed back to original ROM files (look for *task* in the listing in SKTools). Now I have the icon bac on its place and working.

Solution
Normally you can find in your HTC Phone the following setting:
Settings/system/task manager/button/enable the "X" button to end running/end programs by tapping "X".
if you cannot find task manager in Settings/system/,that's because the chef didnt cook it into the rom.
The solution for missing Task Manger Setting:
if there is no Task Manager setting,then you need to download Touch X Taskmanager.cab,install,use resco explorer to search TaskManagerApp.exe in Windows (in my wm6.1,the shortcut dont appear in Startup menu),open it,and in Buttons,enable end programs by tapping "X".
Need to reset to take effect.
Touch X Taskmanager.cab can be downloaded in this thread:

Thanks, mine disappeared too, have no idea how? lol.
Works now!

Softkeys..

Hey all,
I am currently using the energy rom with TF3D2..
I'm not to good at alterations to the phone and tweaks etc. but i am wondering.. on the home screen where the clock is.. the softkeys are LEFT: Contacts RIGHT: Comm Mgr.
Now my question is.. am i able to change the Comm Mgr. one (as i never use it) to say an action screen that i've installed? I have tried numerous things and they dont seem to work. On the original Touch Flo i knew how to do it but as i said, i cant figure out how to do it on the new one..
Any help would be much appreciated!

My bad. Thats a ROMeOS exclusive thing .

Sounds like you are using WM6.5.
The CHome homescreen takes over the softkey assignments the same way TouchFlo3D does. In order to change the Left and Right Softkey, you'll have to make the change manually in the registry or from a CHome Titanium Customizer.
The registry setting is easy if you know the link url to the file you want
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock\
Find the Strings "SK2TEXT" and "SK2URL". The SK2TEXT is the name the button will display, and the URL is the link.
If you're wondering, in the main CHome Key (folder) you'll find the SK1TEXT and SK1URL which is the Left SoftKey; although I would leave contacts up there.

he said hes using tf3d2. he didnt say he was using chome.

Thanks for that! I found it in the registry.. the only thing is.. how do i create a URL for the program that i want to run when i click that softkey?

Softkey to Manila Contacts

Does anybody know how to set up a softkey to Manila Contacts (those that show after launching "phone"/ left key, not those in start menu)
Thanks

The registry setting is located;
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Here you will find LSK (Left Soft Key) and RSK (Right SK) path and text.
You would set the path to Windows\ContactAgent.exe.
You can set the text to whatever you want.
Soft reset and you're done.

Thanks.
Just before reading your answer I found a hint for a solution in an old post.
Actually I used the following expression under LSK path:
Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
and it works as well.
Thank you very much anyway!

Oh yes, you did say "Manila" contacts didn't you. My apologies.

You can also use BsB Tweaks to change it to what ever you like.

Facebook app from update and events

I'd like to know if its possible to open the facebook app when i tap on any update in the "updates and events" tab in people. Right now it opens the facebook web version in opera.
I tried looking into the registry, but could not find anything. Anyone out here has any idea if it can be done.
Thanks in advance.

I also like that, but do not know why?

I have another question. It is possible to create for "Update and Events Tab" the shortcut. I would like to put it to Quick links because this tab is very deeply in People menu.
When one of you can do it, so as to share it, please.
Thanks.
P.S.: I know about the "Facebook Tab" but I dont'n use this tab.

Yes m8 its possible ..the sortcut you want must have this line in...
manila.exe\ --switchtopage Manila://people\\browserlayer\\peopleupdate.page
and if you want this in the left softkey the reg file its like this
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKPath"="!\"\\Windows\\manila.exe\" --switchtopage Manila://people\\browserlayer\\peopleupdate.page"
"HomeLSKText"="Facebook"
"HomeLSKArguments"=""

Hi colossus_r
Thank you for your support but when I tried your shortcut's parameter, so it didn't work. However, I solved the problem. I found the shortcut of callhistory, which I was once used and then I created new shortcut with "peopleupdate" tab.
The results - target of shortcut is:
"\Windows\ManilaShortcut.exe" people/browserlayer/peopleupdate

Hi m8
The code that i gave its for you to put the function in the left softkey and its tested and working fine with NRG roms in Blackstone.
Anyway the manilashortcut.exe its an alternative to manila.exe and if its working for you its OK.
And i am glad to help you to find a solution that works for you
