Is there a way yet to change the right softkey in tf3d / sense ui to the programs screen? HD Tweak can change the right softkey, to anything in its right softkey list except to Programs (Default). That's what I want to change it to though. When I choose Programs (Default) and do a soft reset, it changes to camera instead.
I've tried HD Tweak and softkeymanager and neither will do what I'm trying to do here.
it's just a registry change. i changed mine to contacts. i did mine a while ago so i forget the details. i'll try to find the link.
Yeah, I've read around and some say it's just a registry change. Usually you need a name for the softkey and a path to an exe or shortcut right?
What's the path for or the location of an exe for that programs screen (the one with the rows and columns of icons with "+" signs on them) in TF3D / Sense UI?
found some info on it at here.

I have a brand new Sprint TP2.
I believe you figured it out. Arguments is not needed though. -manila off doesn't do anything.
So RSKPath points to left... that's really annoying. I remember reading this somewhere, but it was so ridiculous that I never tried it. LSKPath doesn't do anything though. =( Definitely a bug somewhere

That'll work if the thing you want for the softkey has an actual shortcut or exe file. I want the right softkey to be the programs screen in TF3D / Sense UI (the screen with the columns and rows of boxes with "+" signs on them).

Hey guys,
ive been searching for this quite long and im still searching
Is there some kind of reg-hack where i can disable the scroll-bar on my today screen?
G00gle and boardsearch doesnt help me :/
hmmmm...common sense tells me that there isn't.
how would you expect your today screen to look like if you have 6-8 today plug-ins? with no scroll bar?
i hate that scroll bar too.
so to evoide it, i keep only the Date plug-in, SPB Diary (combines messagin+callendar+tasks+contacts+notes in the same space), and SPB Plus (quick launch icons).
sow with those 3 today plugins i evoid scroll bars.
you should resize the scrollbars sizes. i use the size 8 on my M5000.
it looks very smaller but it is still touchable and draggable even with the nail of my finger.
but i don't think there is a way to get rid of the scrollbars.
what method of fitting many today plugins would you suggest? this is the only one.
Nono guys, just thinning the scrollbars is definitely not the answer.
I actually did some searching as well and I found a statement of vijay555 and it worked fine on my device. There is a registry entry that can define whether there should be a scrollbar for a today item or not. You just set "type=5" for these today items and the scrollbar disappears:
1. Backup Registry, then using a good registry editor go to
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Today > Items
2. Find the Plugin you want to be scrollbar less, eg in my case VJAudioNotes.
3. Glance through the entries and find the one that says "Type". Double click type and change the value to 5
4. Go into Settings > Today and make some minor change to your today screen to force it to refresh (or just soft reset). Hopefully the changes will now be reflected.
This will force the plugin to the top of the screen and force scrollbars to occur under that plugin.
The thread I'm referring to is that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1172614&postcount=4
Yes nice, this was exacly what i was looking for BUT after a soft reset the reg doesnt save it.... and the order of the items is wrong and cant move em in the settings... "order" reg-setting doesnt change anything :/
mhh will have a look at this.
--Edit--
Seems it does work only for the top 3 items on the list. if a 4th one is set to type = 5 an other one gets automaticly type 4 :/
It does not always work. Do we always have to replace the value by the number "5" only?
For example, if I wanted to keep the owner info up top. The original value is "0". Based on the link you posted, replace it with "5", but instead of still showing the owner info, it completely disappears from the list. I'm just experimenting anyway. As Vijay said, BACKUP 1st.

Same thing with Calendar.
Hi,
Recently all my Emails/SMS's open at the bottom of the message, any one had the same problem, or know of the fix, registry setting maybe?
Thanks.
And your using WM6?
on the top right click the pull down menu for the sorting order
if it is already set by recieved
select it again and it will reverse the order
Yup thats right, totally unmodified ROM. Any Suggestions?
That's quite odd especially if your using poutlook, I do believe that a small feat of WM6 is that emails would open at the top. There are no settings in the app to change the read views, at least not that one. As far as registry changes, I would just browse through and try to find it. Registry edits are usually pretty easy to find and read, not to mention they are typically obvious with the function.
you dont need to reg edit
in outlook... the top bar
on the left it has the folder selection pulldown menu... inbox is the default
on the right it has the sort pulldown menu... recieved is the default
if it is already set to recieved, which it should, pull down the menu again and select recieved... it will reverse the order..
this works for all the sorting views...
There is no problem with the sort order, but with the view of the message itself.
I had the exact same problem after I installed Tweaks2k2 and enabled all the optimizations. When I unchecked the video performance improvements, it was back to normal.
with a simple search of "message open bottom" in the main kaiser forum reveals 6 topics all with the same answer
Here is five of them.
(ok so its only 4 threads and the last one is the search results, i omitted to cuz they just told the person to search)
But the solution has to do with d-pad navigation in PIE, solution found in those threads.. Wiki's not opening up so i i can't give the exact reg entry to edit. BUt as suggested in the linked threads, use kaisertweak
Yes Indeed, thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction, I have been playing with kaisertweak. All Fixed as soon as I changed it back to the default setting.
Thanks again for your help
I know the background of the start menu can be changed by:
1) changing the phones wallpaper like normal
OR
2) replacing the startmenu_background_screen_"resolution".png from within the windows folder.
The second is only if you want a different wallpaper in your start menu to the rest of your phone. (the default file is just a transparent .png which shows your normal wallpaper underneath)
I know you can also change the folder icons, by changing around other png files in the window folder.
My question is how can you change the font style or more importantly the colour?
Also, is it possible to change it so it resembles the wm6.1 start menu instead of the honeycomb?
(please dont say "just use a 6.1 ROM" because i dont want to. lol. I like wm6.5 as its quicker and more finger friendly, i just want the old start menu back)
no one know how to do these things?
anyone?
PLEASE?
im desperate here
lolz
As much or as little as you wish.
Have a look at some of the stuff I posted in here :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504320
Should answer a few of the basics.
Thanks for your reply, but those replies are about the today screen. I dont even use titanium any more. I find M2D more useful.
What i want to know is how to edit the Start menu.
the list of programs shown as hexagon icons
I want to change it to like how it was on wm6.1.
Just a grid of icons with words on a white background
OK, I have got what you are after... sounds like a registry hack somewhere....
Unfortunately the holiday(UK)/vacation(US), season is upon us, and I may not have found the solution for a week or two. If and when I do, I'll post it here and send you a PM.
Thank you.
Its appreciated

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I second this question. And what I want is better not the 'grid view'.
Better we have a registry tweak way, so that we can make a HoneyComb Toggle.
In some cases when I want more RAM, it's better to shutdown the honeycomb and the titanium today plugin.
So another question is do we have a tool to toggle the titanium? Like we can do to M2D? I know we can do it through today settings, but I'm looking for a way like regitweak or mortscript, so that I can use a shortcut to map it to a hardware button, do it within one touch.
[Edit: Got some sence for the half of first question from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509160&highlight=start+menu
Seems the WM6.5 honeycomb start menu is an executable called shell32.exe. If so we can shut it down with a powerful task manager like DotFred's TaskMgr.exe or let it show up in the htc task manager by registry tweak and kill it. Will report it back after I test it next week. Or anybody can test it right now?
But the first question still need an answer.
Edit3: So what is the process or service of the WM6.1 start menu ? (for that I think it's not an exe) This may help to answer the question of how to resemble old start menu back.
And then what is titanium? An exe, a process or a service? Got a name?]
Thanks for any help.
there isnt!
there isnt a way to back to 6.1 start menu...
but you can use the Qucik menu that is a lil same... but you need to leave blank the cpr file for grid scene on your windows folder... then use the Quick menu that Utaker post on devs and hack forum just search with this exact words " Quickmenu instead honeycomb" you may get all the answer you need there... Oh and the honey comb can be modded in maaaany ways just search all over the devs a nd hack sections
thanks bye.
Hey all is there some software that will allow me to re-arrange my start menu items in a straight line
Atm the icons go diagonally in sets of 3`s
Im wondering if its possible to re-arrange the set of 3`s to be in a straight line without the diagonal look
Flame me for saying this...but along the same way the Iphone has them in a straight line
Did you just mention iPhone on the Topaz Forum?!?!?
**flicking lighter**
jk... This may work or you could try quick menu which gives you an expandable windows-like start menu in the top right corner.
or if your unable to find a list start menu cab you could find a start menu 4x4 grid cab and reverse engineer it.
Sorry Bruce My Bad.....Ive recovered from the burns now.
anyway that wasnt what i really had in mine so ive put together some shake and save screenies to give and idea.
The first one shows the way the layout of start menu icons are on my TD2 with it being in a diagonal / upsidedown triangle look
The second one shows how i would like the middle icons to be...in a straight line and together if possible
does any1 know if it can be done.Im assuming there has to be a way as GAz TD2 tools allows them all to be in a 4 row pattern but when i us that feature it makes scrolling really laggy
I split open a 4x4 start menu cab and it shows the following manila files that you would have to edit (LUA and Mode9 editing), however they may be different files for different builds.
07c67730_manila
3b8655d7_manila
5558cdef_manila
652ae0f4_manila
6c219600_manila
7c60907d_manila
In any case, it doesn't appear to be an easy fix. Sorry.
Some alternatives,
Take a look at the "Post your topaz screen" thread. I saw a user using an i*Cough* launcher app that was launched from a HW key that may interest you. You can also achieve something similar by using SecondToday combined with Ultimate Launcher. Then you can scoll your apps with the old Cube animation launching from your LSK.
Hope this helps.
Ok, Ive looked to see if I could find an answer to this, but no avail......
Im running v2.0.0.0 CHT Editor on WM6.5 on a HTC Blackstone, and I am wondering, as I cant fin the answer here or in the fone settings etc....
How do you remove quicklinks from the page after they have been added?? What has happened is that with my fat thumbs, I have added multiple instances of the same program, and instances of programs that I don't want on my quicklinks table, and all I wanna do is remove them and replace them wih the programs etc that I actually want on the table....PLEASE help, this is getting incredibly infuriating....Thanks guys.
I don't know which version of CHTEditor I'm using, but if I click "Action," then "Edit Quicklinks," I just tap the ones I want to delete, then hit "Finish," or whatever, and it's done.
I don't have my phone in front of me, so I'm not actually entirely sure of the names, but you should get the general idea.
Hope this helps.
On the bottom bar: Menu - Edit Quick Links - Then tap lightly the quicklinks you want to remove (if you hold, then you move them) and a "X" icon will appear on their side - On bottom bar: Done and voilà, the icons you (and ME too) don't want disappear.
