htcactionscreen.exe worked very well on my TyTn II. You assign it to a button and it brings up a screen to select new note, new appointment, new email, new sms, new task, new contact... The screen went way after a few seconds if you don't make a selection.
Has anyone got it running on the HD2? Also is there an app where you can assign shaking the HD2 to replace a button function on the HD2? Combining shaking with bringing up the htcactionscreen.exe would be a great wheeze.

Hi,
I'm currently using your latest rom, and its great in terms of stability and overall features it contains. I had a small request which i thought i'd post, and decided to make a separate thread so that ppl can drop all their requests too, so here goes!
And now for my request -
It would be great if you could add PQz II into the default rom. Its a small app to enable control/alt key combos with a lot of other features for phone shortcuts, button shortcuts etc. Its freeware too! You can find it at www.nicque.com/pqz
if you could make the following customizations so that pqz starts this way by default, thats an added bonus -
1. Has the path to the "icon" bitmap (by default, its just a white blotch until you specify an icon in the default installation. the icon comes within the package though)
2. Set default keys to the SYM key for control and alt.
3. Make PQz start at windows bootup by default by adding a link in the registry
Cheers and I appreciate the great work!

Hi,
Which keys do you set for ctrl and alt, cause they aren't on keyboard?
Fn + Tab maybe?
Also how to set a icon for the today I don't know?
Can the icon in upper tray moved to bottum tray?
2 many questions haha...

He he, nice questions.
I tried the app but quited after some minutes because I couldn't find a way to get it working, lol
Nevertheless if working, it could be a good improvement.

with all do respect, PQz suck.
it really messes up the keyboard control for other programs, such as games for example...
if you really need it, install it. it only takes a couple of seconds and a couple of lousy KBs, if i remember correctly.
Rom devs can't include apps everytime users have a spacial request. That's what kitchens are for...

Normally, we set the "SYM" key for both Control & alt. This way, you press sym once, its control (shows on the icon, once set!), press it again it becomes alt. Its soooooo useful, i cant tell you.....you must try it!
i use it extensively, to do control+c, cntrl+v, blah!
The icon should be on top, so that it shows what you've pressed (control or alt).
The cooler part is the other sub-modules it has such as phone shortcuts, app shortcuts, system shortcuts etc. For example, i can set shortcuts such as alt+Alphabet for speed dials for all my contacts. No matter what application you're currently using, just hit Alt+S to dial a contact for instance, or even fire an application!
I also use, Alt+X to close current app, alt+0 to close all apps....really useful!
Try it out for a while, you cant live without it!
Cheers!

Can you add these files to Windows\ directory?
If you could add these to \Windows directory, it would be great! It changes the basic "Open/select file" dialog to browse through folders in a standard windows way rather than scanning through all folders and showing it as one single list!
It overrides this dialog at all places. For instance, when you try and add an attachment to your email, it shows standard folders for you to navigate and pick the right file, rather than making one giant list of all files on all folders!
San
EDIT: There's a small bug in wm6, the softkey labels are not shown though (not a big deal as long as you know what they are!) . The left softkey is "Up" one folder, and right softkey is for "Menu" when the open file dialog is active. Make sure you activate it under Settings->System->FileDialog and check the option in there!

Hi San,
I will have another look and tell you what I think of it later.
Greetings,
Leo
how about the ability to call the last dialled number? can that be added? and maybe not including the latest task manager 2.0 as that has problems with the closing of apps.... maybe the earlier version 1.5?
PQZ
Well... I tested a bit.
But it does screw up other functionings.
Also the today icon I don't like, I only see a white square in top bar
Did you try HandyMenu or AEButton, they have same function's but much easier. For copy\paste I use Pnotepad.
Sorry...
Regards,
Leo

The WiFi problems are fixed now!
Can you pleeeease solve the Bluetooth Stereo problems ASAP.
I think I already flash my Universal with all existing ROMs, but I believe none as A2DP and WiFi WPA fully working.
can i suggest to try rlToday? It's a very nice Home/today plugin. Working with VGA and completely skinnable.
Is there some way to have a shortcut for a new sms. I find it tedious to have to go to messaging, sms/mms, menu, new, sms! Used to be much faster before they lumped everything together.
go to the contact and tabhold and pick sms or text message or whatever they call it
and you got a new sms with the contact as add
for your sms'ing pleasure
Try program KeySwop: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-keyswop-v0-2-1.html
Install HTC Action Screen. It provides you with a screen with all "New ..." items (new sms, new mms, new contact, ... )

I use a shortcut with the following target...

Thanks, already installed the htc action screen, works perfectly
Hello,
By the way i map the right softkey (contacts) from the HTC today in the bottom Right of the screen to the Action Screen by:
using a reg editor, create a key called "113" (if not there already) under:
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
with the following values type REG_SZ
Default = Action Screen
Open = \windows\HTCActionScreen.exe
No soft reset is need, once you close your reg. editor it will show up.
quite handy i think....
cheers

For the most part, I like TouchFlo. The only thing missing for me is a calendar tab. I realize I can turn on the WM standard calendar plugin on the lower portion of the display, but don't want to give up the space to have it always present. Ideally, there'd be a way to add a calendar tab to the middle and have the appointment info display up top when that particular tab is active. I've searched, but didn't come up with anything. Is there a way?
Is your calender not set to the bottom-left shortcut key (Above green call button) by default ?
Ummm... a 'button' is different than a 'tab'. As stated, I would like a way to quickly refer to upcoming calendar stuff on my Today screen, without launching an application, and other than using the standard WM plugin. Re-read the original post should you require further clarification.
Thanks though...

Your a bit of a tool really aren't you ?
I think he meant the HTC Today Screen Plugin. All these while I thought he meant the touch cube (which I errenously associated with TouchFlo).
Nope... just asking a question, different than the one you were attempting to answer -- but thanks for your input

One of the things I have always liked about the HTC products (at least on AT&T) is the Note button that is visible when you end a call. When you push it, it brings up a note using a special template that fills in the date & time of the call as well as caller information. Sadly, this has been removed from the TF3D call screens.
I know that with Diamond Tweak, you can set the Fuze to use the AT&T (HTC) default which brings back the Note button (as well as on-screen talk and end buttons). Unfortunately, when you do this, you no longer get the large, friendly caller ID screen. All you get is the popup at the bottom.
If someone knows how to get to the Notes call log template from the TF3D call screen(s), please let me know. Or perhaps one of the developers out there can find a way to create a new skin to incorporate the Note button (and maybe bring back the onscreen talk button).
Thanks,
Joe
How about removing the stylus during the call? The default setting is to launch the Notes app with all the call info pre-filled.

True, but it JUST launches the Notes app and doesn't launch the template. I went there already. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Mine does launch the template with the various fields filled in (and even puts it into a separate folder named "Calls") when I remove the stylus.

I don't know why but the first time I tried that it just opened a regular note. Seems to be working as you say now. I'd still like the button since I don't scribble notes, I type them.
For the time being, I'm switched back to the WinMo dial pad. I have a cab file that skins that dial pad on the older HTCs to make bigger buttons. I may try it out on this one and see what happens. Still doesn't get me the large, friendly caller ID.
Does anyone have a cab for Pandora? I need it for a customer here at my store... She just purchased an HTC Pure and NEEDS Pandora...
Can someone cab it up and help me out with this?? I would appreciate it!
If not, can you at least point me in the right direction?
Here you go DB.
**Edit- removed due to VGA version**
Thank you sooooo much!!!
this cab is not bringing up the keyboard to allow us to type in an e-mail address to log in or create an account...
That's a known problem, the only workaround I have found is to assign the hardware Send key (long press) to open the keyboard. Set Pandora to save password and login and you won't be prompted again, so you can change the Send key back to what it was set to originally.
The other issue with Pandora on the Pure: some of the text is incredibly tiny and you will need to use the stylus to press the softkeys.
u also cant type in new names to get diff radio stations. that blows hard
This is probably QVGA version, I don't think I have WVGA.
found my answer.
thanks much.

Try this version for WVGA.
To access the SIP, you can use quickmenu to select it.
I've tested and it pauses and stops.

Hmmm.. How do you map the keyboard to a hardware key (long press?) I found articles on how to create hardware key links to apps, but not how to bring up the keyboard. Love this cab!

Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Buttons. select "Send (Long Hold)" then open the drop down box on the bottom, scroll all the way to the top and select "<Input Panel>".
Another option for keyboard issue;
I run Quick Menu, which allows you to go to SIP options and it will bring up your SIP while in Pandora.
I do it the same way, and it works fine
