Hi,
I've been using PPCs for a while, but as I've started to use cooked roms, I've hard reseted more the past two months more then my entire life since these awesome chefs just keep pumping them out. But my problem now is that the programs I've installed on my SD card are no longer automatically recongnized by the device and I've got to total commander to SD card, program files... to get to the files instead of it being organized in the programs folder. So I have two questions. How do I make .ink files, and where should I put these links so that they show up in the programs?
Thanks
Try using Total Commander to make a shortcut(lnk) in \windows\start menu.
thanks for the responce, but I'm looking to how to put it in the general program thing so that other launchers such as HTC home can access it. And could you specify how you would use total commander to make an ink file?
Thanks
I just use the Explore function in ActiveSync, navigate to the EXE I want to make a shortcut of, right click and select Create Shortcut then copy and past in wimndows\startmenu\programs\folder name of your choice.

Ah... ok, that sounds like it should work.
Thanks for the help.
Alternatively, if you no the full path of the file, you can open up notepad on your desktop computer, type in "#" followed by the full path, and then save that file as an lnk file. (not "LNK" not "INK").
E.G.
Code:
#"\Storage Card\My Folder\My Program.exe"
For some links, and some more info on creating them, try this thread.

Umm... I'd look at some existing lnk files, from the ROM, and they will have icons.
The lnks will have (by default) the same icon as whatever you're linking it to.

SK has a really easy tool to allow the change of icons from .dll's, but it's a few dollars.

Hi,
I currently have a HDWallpaper on my HTC; is it possible to use the same HDWallpaper as my lock screen image? I would also like the HDwallpaper to be set in the background when view the phone files (when clicking on the windows or 'Start button)
Can anyone advise?
Thanks.
Save the image you used for your HDWall on your phone (just the image not as a .cab) then under personalize in settings set that image as lockscreen wallpaper.
I think.

Is it just a case of renaming the file to a .jpg when I download it onto the HTC Sniper? within the .cab file itself I cannot see an actual image file.
Cheers.
I'm guessing it's an HD-Wall you got off here rather than one you made yourself then?
In that case you'll need to use something like m9editor to convert it back from the qtc file in the cab file.
If you want to post the cab on here I should be able to do it for you if you want? Bit new to all this myself.

Here you go mate, there were actually 3 images in your .cab, think maybe it had landscape options too? I've converted the 3 to .png's just as they came and also cropped and converted to .jpeg's. I think the one I've named "1" is what you want, but put them all in just in case, like I say, I'm a bit new to all this.
Put them all in a zip file as I think you lose some image quality if you post them as attachments. Let me know if it works?
Cheers.

Hi,
Just got my hd2 (tmobile) day before yesterday and its amazing, i can go on and on about it
on my previous winMo device i had spb mobile shell installed which allowed me to add a shortcut tab "my shortcuts" on the home screen clicking on which would open a window where i could have my favorite programs, contacts, docs etc in one place.
is this possible to do this on the home screen of sense UI, where there are 9 customizable tabs present or is it possible to put a shortcut of any folder on the home screen.
i ask this question because one of tabs on the home screen has a transformers icon on it, and clicking it takes me to the transformers folder on the sd card which has transformers 1 and 2. this same transformers icon/shortcut is also present in programs menu.
i added some mp4 files in the transformers folder on the sd card which has both movies and after doing that when i click on its icon it does direct me to its folder but only shows me the 2 movies not the added mp4 movies.
i hope iam able to explain myself
having a shortcut tab on the home screen which can add a shortcut to a folder would be very helping other than just having the stock program, bookmark, contact options.
thanks in advance.

Touch and hold over an Icon, and drag it off the screen to delete it. Tap to add a new shortcut.
Look into Cookies Home Tab editor to add more shortcuts
Explore folders, find and select program file and hold it, tap copy, now explore windows folder-startmenu- programs- edit- paste shortcut, done. Now you can add it to quick links. If I understand you right.

i have a couple of movies in my storage card and i would like to have an icon on my device to each movie on my storage card, that way i can put them in my quick links ,
The T-MoUS version, has Transformers pre-installed. it has a Transformers icon in the start menu that when selected, it opens a window with both movies lined up in a list type format located in the storage card . Is there a way to create your own?

i had to return mine today at the store because it had a small spot inside the screen, maybe a dead pixel, giving the same affect as you would see when you would sprinkle a drop of water on LCD.
the store reps. were acting up for a replacement saying that even when they get new onces they have already reserved them for new customers, also the tmobile (611) rep told me they would be able to help me had i purchased the phone online
so i returned it
The templates that come with snote have fields like date and time and other such objects not available within snote itself. The templates that are pre-packaged are nice but I would like to add others.
How do you create snote templates? Is there an app for this? Is there a how-to that details the extra features that you can put in a template?

Also the possibility of using your own pictures as background would be great

Just wondering if anyone has worked out how to change the included templates yet?

For the Templates Background to be change, the images in the "template_custom_bg_q1" folder inside the apk need to be changed. It contains all the backgrounds for SNote.
For complete templates, you need to create SNB files and place them in folder assets\templates.
Not sure if this is in the Galaxy Note (phone) version of S-Notes but in the Note 10.1 (8013) there is an option to import your own image as a background file. Not sure about how to get the input fields to work but you can import a new image.
How to create a S-Note Template from a PDF file
When I imported pdf files, I just started Snotes, the app, not a new note, and under the menu picked import. Choose the pdf file but if you get the box that asks what to use to open it, ignore it, click on the screen with your pdf, make sure the file is selected and choose done up at the top. you'll magically go back to the snote screen with your pdf document showing. In order to save it, you'll have to at least make a mark and then can erase it so the save option will be available. When it's the blank you'd like to save to use each time, you can name it and save it as it is. Just be careful that whenever you open it to start a new blank, you need to rename the changed document so it doesn't overwrite your blank form. If it's helpful, when you're ready to save the 'template' open the menu and choose set as shortcut. That will give you the fresh template on your home screen. I put several running notes on my home screen that way and a blank 'template' - an Snote the way I like it set up. Just be careful not to overwrite it as I've accidently done a few times. Now I have extra blank copies.
Is it possible to create another folder on a home screen same as one that called Google? I couldn't find it anywhere. I know I can move icons in there but how do you make another one?

I don't understand how to create a folder. I held an icon, then dragged it over another icon, resulting in [2] icons in one folder and renamed it, but, when I moved each icon out of the folder, the folder disappeared! I want to create a folder with some documents and pdf files. I can't figure out how to create a folder.

Create a folder by dragging one icon over another. Then add at least two files you want kept in that folder before removing the unwanted files. As long as you have two files in the folder it won't disappear.

You can't create a folder to documents ONLY Apps. The desktop folders aren't file system folders so you can't save files in them.
You may be able to create a shortcut that's saved to the desktop but that's not something the default launcher can do (i think).
