Apologies if this is in the wrong section. For the most part, Bettercut works fine for creating and editing icons, but whenever I create a phone icon, clicking on it results in a "Application is not installed on the phone". Any ideas?

I was messing with the registry and could not figure this out. I got as far as finding where the settings program launcher is....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Here we can add programs to the launcher and I beleive if I can add the .exe to WM All Settings page it would be great. I can't find such a file though. This is where I need help unless I'm completely wrong here. This would allow to add an All settings Tab to be added in the Launcher.
Or
If you go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3 Changing things there should work. Would ony changing the path work? I just need to know where the .exe for the Settings page is.
It just frustrates me that I have to go to the Settings tab then All settings.
Thanks for any and all help. I am trying to learn here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: This maybe more difficult than I think. But I did figure out how to unloch the locked items and also to move them so they are at the bottom.
To Unlock go to
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
-Select one of the keys numbered 0-23 (a number for each of the slots. The locked items are numbers 0-3 and are ordered on the list going left to right/top to bottom)
- Just change the DWord value from 1 to 0 and you can now remove these if you wish.
- You can do the reverse to lock any other program in place. Click on it an set the value from 0 to 1.
--Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.
To Move the items go to
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
-The locked items are numered 0-3
-Say if you want to move settings to the bottom left you would select key '3'.
-Rename it from 3 to anything you wish for instance 'n' (or any number starting from 24) make it short because you will change it again.
-Now go to key '23' and rename that to '3'
-Go back to 'n' or whatever you named the old 3 and rename it to '23'
-Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.

There is a way to directly link to specific Settings items, see http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/windows-mobile-faq/12666-applet-shortcuts.html Just save the text string after the "=" as a plain text file with extension ".lnk" and put it in the "/windows/start menu/programs" folder, as I'm sure you know.
I've used some of these and they can save a lot of stylus work. I don't see a way to link to the general Settings page itself though.

Thanks for the tip - works perfectly. Only problem now is assigning an icon other than the ugly white page with Windows square on it. I have tried the trick described here in the Wiki, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Provided you have your shortcut in one of the initial 23 positions of the Program Launcher, you could try setting the icon path from the registry, in the location as described by HTC Touch Freak in the first post

There's also an "IconPath" parameter under the 0-23 keys which you might have more success with.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried that after posting the above. Managed to find out the icon is no 398 in shellres.192.dll, and inserted that into the IconPath line. Now, when I click on the shortcut, I get a message saying
"The file 'ctlpnl cplmain' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found."
I wonder if it's possible to make up your own icon, as you can in desktop windows - a bitmap of the appropriate size with ".ico" extension?
Thanks for the link Fisha21. I made a link for remove programs, put it in the programs list and also saw there was no icon. Well i thought, maybe i can easily approach the link differently.
I downloaded Link Creator 1.4 - Shortcut Creator (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494613) and just assigned the link to the right softkey.
For those who don't like that, there are many different options that it can be linked to (keymappings etc.)
Hope that helps a few peeps

Hi!
First post here.
I don't want the sms-functionality of TF3D active due to different reasons (prying eyes for example).
Is it possible to do: "create new sms" when i hold down the left soft-key?
Perhaps a ".exe" file for such a feature exists?
Other shortcuts perhaps?

Hi
Here's my solution:
Make a new .txt file and in it write:
44#\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS" -to ""
rename this file to New SMS.lnk (i.e. change the extension to .lnk)
Copy this link file to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Select the New SMS "application" to one of your buttons in Settings>Personal>Buttons.
Cheers

Hi bnm7bnm
Check out the start menu customisation link in my signature. Obviously you might not want to use those icons but hopefully it will help you identify how to change an icon.
By the way, I am just about to release a new icon set for start menu and ROM icons customisation so will notify you about that.

If you want to change the program icons. You must edit the icons in the startmenu, after that the icon on the home screen change also. You can change the icons with Icon Changer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080) and ReStart (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379), you can find a lot of icons here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533993

A way to assign icons to folders ?
You can easily change icons from start menu without using the Icon editor by changing the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\xxx.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\yyy.png"
where xxx.lnk = the Start Menu link
and yyy.png = the icon you want to use

Use the 2 programs i mentioned in my first post. Also for folders
Just a slight follow up question. This works perfectly on most icons but I've noticed one program that I downloaded from Windows Market Place (moTweets) changes in the start menu but not on the quick links.
I've restarted the phone but no joy. Is the something to do with Windows Marketplace? DRM or something?

I've tried this... and I can't get it to work at all. I had to use ReStart to get it working but it seems that it does the same thing as I did manually but somehow it got the changes to happen. I did restart the device everytime I made any changes but it doesn't seem to work?
I don't really want to install something if I can get it done via the registry so any tips?

Remove the corresponding .bmg file from \Application Data\HTC\ProgrLauncher and softreset. It should work fine.

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.

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

To be able to export to pdf, you need to install the pdf view from acadoid, just go into Google play and look for more apps by acadoid and you will see it there. It's a free add and will enable the pdf options within lecture notes.

Once you set up pdf import and export from settings and you ensure that you have a pdf viewer app to open pdf's with, you just need to have the notes open within lecture notes and then go to the 'Export to pdf' option which should show.

Sure, the second screenshot shows what happens after selecting export to pdf i.e. the conversion process, once finished it opens the standard menu for you to open file with your preferred pdf viewer.

That is weird, have you tried reducing the number of items showing on the menu, you may have too many items showing which could have caused the menu button to disappear which could be an identified bug.
To test this, go to the main settings page and hide some our most of the options that you have chosen to display and see if the desired menu becomes visible.
By the way, you have nice handwriting!
Hope you can resolve issue soon.
