A few windows 6.1. mods

Hello!
Do you happen to know how to:
a)put the gsm indicator on the today screen (VERY preferably on the HTC today, e.g. below the alarm clock on the right side or horizontally near the operator name - not to waste space)
b)block GPRS: just to tell the phone to never ever try to connect to it. At the moment e.g. while pressing the weather button, it starts connecting - quite annoying, especially if pressed by chance
c)create folders in programs menu (as e.g. the "games" folder) and then copy shortcuts into it
d)in the menu start - change from 7 shortcuts and 5 recent programs into 12 shortcuts and 0 recently opened programs.
Thank you for help!
Best regards,
Theriel

c) Go under "\Windows" direcotry and then under "\Start menu"
that's the direcotry tree

I meant programs menu - the one you get into by clicking start->programs. .
Any ideas about this as well as the other questions ?

b) there are several ways to kill all data connections. you can use something like the Advanced Config Tool and disable the data connection setup on the phone. Or you can use a tool like MoDaCo's NoData tool. Search the forums you will find your answer.
c) It is where "wonderiuy" said it is. For the icons in Programs you need to go one level deeper in the start menu. My Device -> Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs. There you will find links to all the icons when you go to Start Programs.

Thanks a lot! I have also a small question: is there any reason for which I shouldn't enable all the power managements that there are in Advanced Config Tool?
I would be still grateful for answering a) and d) :].

d) Disable large start menu
Start -> Settings -> Large start menu -> disable (or rather not enable) it

Do this,
1. Click the weather tab and click the location name at the top. You will get into ‘Select City’ window.
2. Tap the ‘Menu’ at the bottom right of the screen and choose ‘Weather Options…’ from the pop-up list.
3. Uncheck ‘Download weather data automatically*’

b) Easy solution: Go to Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Manage Networks -> and choose "Company Network" for "Programs with automatic internet connectivity use ....". Name of options may vary, because I use German ROM. Translation done by brain.exe on the fly

Thanks a lot mates! So, there is no way to solve my problem "d)" ?

see post #6 in your own thread (above). Does that not do what you asked?

That has nothing to do with choosing the programs you want to have listed in the menu start. Large menu is completely different thing which, by the way, I have disabled since the very beginning.

rotation without keyboard

i have couple of quick questions?
1) how can I make the menus rotate without having to open the keyboard.
2) when the phone goes in standby, i have to open the keyboard to make it come back, none of the buttons work. is there a way around this.
thanks please help

1) I dont think there is a way to just rotate menus without rotating the entire screen
2) according to the pithiness of the previous question I would ask - which buttons did you try?

Take a look at a program called Gyrator. I think it will rotate various screens as you were seeking. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like what you are looking for. Here is a link:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gyrator.html

you could also do it via a button which i like because gyrator rotates sometimes when you dont want it to. If you are willing to go through the registry than you can go to HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation and change "HideOrientationUI" to 1 (decimal). and after you do that go to Settings->personal->Buttons and it should say <Rotate Screen>
Edit: Change it to 0. It should be 1 by default.

have mine set to rotate to left with one key press (Long Send)
Setting -> Buttons -> Button 1(Hold) : <Rotate Screen>
You can also set the Short & Long press of PPT button to go into the Screen:General tab, but then you still would have to make your selection and then press ok.

Hey this works pretty well. I think some programs may display funny, but a cool tip. thx.

Locked "boxes" on touchflo start menu - how to unlock/remove?

Hi!
Is there any way of unlocking (so I can remove them) the first four places on the touchflo3d start menu? They just point to tabs, and that feels so utterly unecessary. They also take up the best spots for proper applications, which annoys me even further.
I've googled a bit, but since I can't really even figure out what I would search for, it's not going too well. My apologies if this has been addressed before.
/T

From Someone else, forgotten who the creidt goes to:
"To unlock the default top four icons on the program launcer...
HKLM > Software > HTC > Manilla > ProgramLauncher
then choose your icon to deselect (0-3 although I recomend only changing number 1 and number 2, (people + Calendar) you will probably want to keep Home and Settings as I haven't found a way of getting them back once they're gone!)
"IsReadOnly" set to 0, Soft reset, et voila."

Thanks a bunch both to you and this someone else.

lost settings icon in start menu

Hi,
is there any way to access settings apart from the start menu?
I noticed that the settings icon disappeared in my start menu (I'm using custom WM6.5 ROM). Is there a way how to get it back?
Thanks in advance for all advices!

You do not provide enough information to really help you.
Info such as WHAT custom ROM, what interface, etc.
So with that, if you are running Manila there is a settings tab.
If you have flashed a ROM that took it out, ask in that thread for a fix.
If you cooked your own ROM and its missing, check your kitchen and recook.

As visible from my signature, I'm using Essential 3.3 and the icon used to be present in the start menu. One day it just disappeared.
Still, settings were accessable from Manila (settings tab -> more). However, after disabling Manila (using settings tab -> more -> today), there's no way how to enter settings again.
I'd just like to find a way how to get the icon back OR how to access the settings apart from the wm6.5 start menu. Thanks again.

I've find that by searching in Registery:
HKLM / SECURITY / SHELL / START INFO / HideSettings = 1
change the key to 0, and then, you'll have the WM Settings menu in start menu of WM6.5.
I have TD2 with new Rom HTC WM6.5, and it works well for me.
I hope it will be the same for you.

In Sense, go to settings and look at the botton left option taht says "all settings"
That one should take you to where you want to go (the Bronze settings menu screen for System, Home, Connctions etc...)

Disable TouchFlo in wm 6.5?

How is this done, I just upgraded my Sprint TP2 to the 6.5 rom and I want to turn off TouchFlo also I need to be able to change the screen orientation without flipping the screen.
Where the hell are the wm settings? All I can get to are the touchflo settings.

Start, Settings, Today Screen -> "Items" tab on the bottom
then check windows default.

The setting option brings me to the touch flow settings when u hit start the thouchflo overrides the settings option. this is why i need to figure out how to turn it off

Go to the settings tab and then hit the right (or left?) softkey that says all settings. Then go to today/items and uncheck htc sense.
