Hi,
does anyone have an idea how to create a shortcut to the today screen?
i believe it's in a dll or some other hidden windows file, yet i can't seem to find it (and couldn't find it in windows documentation).
I read about some today.exe which was created for this purpose, but couldn't find the file
Anyone smart enough to solve my problem?

Just curious, from where do you want to create a shortcut to the today screen?
From iFonz, so i can switch to default today screen fast and easy
just double-press "Windows" button

doesn't work, it just pops back to iFonz
even when i select the today screen link from the start menu
Try Resco Explorer.

Don't see how that would help me, so since you have to pay for it, i would like to find an other way...
Hey all,
I am currently using the energy rom with TF3D2..
I'm not to good at alterations to the phone and tweaks etc. but i am wondering.. on the home screen where the clock is.. the softkeys are LEFT: Contacts RIGHT: Comm Mgr.
Now my question is.. am i able to change the Comm Mgr. one (as i never use it) to say an action screen that i've installed? I have tried numerous things and they dont seem to work. On the original Touch Flo i knew how to do it but as i said, i cant figure out how to do it on the new one..
Any help would be much appreciated!

Have you used advanced config?
I cant seem to find settings for that anywhere in advanced config?
I have cahnged it using softkey manager that came with the rom but it still doesnt work?

My bad. Thats a ROMeOS exclusive thing .
Sounds like you are using WM6.5.
The CHome homescreen takes over the softkey assignments the same way TouchFlo3D does. In order to change the Left and Right Softkey, you'll have to make the change manually in the registry or from a CHome Titanium Customizer.
The registry setting is easy if you know the link url to the file you want
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock\
Find the Strings "SK2TEXT" and "SK2URL". The SK2TEXT is the name the button will display, and the URL is the link.
If you're wondering, in the main CHome Key (folder) you'll find the SK1TEXT and SK1URL which is the Left SoftKey; although I would leave contacts up there.
he said hes using tf3d2. he didnt say he was using chome.
Thanks for that! I found it in the registry.. the only thing is.. how do i create a URL for the program that i want to run when i click that softkey?

I have solved it and changed the key. Thank you all for the help!
Does anybody know how to set up a softkey to Manila Contacts (those that show after launching "phone"/ left key, not those in start menu)
Thanks

The registry setting is located;
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Here you will find LSK (Left Soft Key) and RSK (Right SK) path and text.
You would set the path to Windows\ContactAgent.exe.
You can set the text to whatever you want.
Soft reset and you're done.
Thanks.
Just before reading your answer I found a hint for a solution in an old post.
Actually I used the following expression under LSK path:
Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
and it works as well.
Thank you very much anyway!

Oh yes, you did say "Manila" contacts didn't you. My apologies.
You can also use BsB Tweaks to change it to what ever you like.
Lot of people looking for how to add a new tab for HD2, but none can find what he's looking for.
A simple example: Adding all programs tab
Let those who know about manila tweaks to help us to have the know-how to achieve this goal.
Thank you
Well there is a program tab being developed in the General WM software development section but it's currently VGA and needs to be edited for WVGA.
Another option is to use MTP (manila today page) in the diamond section this works .004 with sense with a couple of fixes and you can have any today plugin on the today page. see diamond section for full details or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616415
MTP
Well, I tried the MTP but it didnt add extra tab. but I can use existing tab (in this case STOCK tab) to be use for another link. Now I use it for Radarweather.

You mean that we can't add a new tab but we just can replace existing ones?
But how come they manage to have it on the vga one with even other tab for manilla TV (see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5383259) But none talk about adding a porgram tab for wvga for HD2, weired isn't it?
Is there any tutorial of how to manipulate the manila xml or even explanation how manila works, so we can try to figure out a solution

You didn't read the instructions carefully. You have to delete the manila xml and delete key in the registry. This is essential to have 1 extra tab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616415&highlight=manila+today+page
1. Install MTP
2. Turn off Sense (otherwise you won't be able to perform step 3).
2. install MTP Apple Icon.zip (if you want to have the apple icon instead of the silver windows one...i made a *.cab here)
3. Under \windows delete the file ManilaFull.xml.
4. With a registry editor, delete the key \HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration.
5. Activate Sense and reorder your tabs (by deleting xml and reg key you'll revert to default order).
I use the manila today page myself for displaying pocket weather in htc style.

Yup, been there, done that, but didnt work for me. In fact I tried it two times. Could be some other mod that I do that make it not working. maybe I will try it again. One question, are you using cooked rom or stock rom?

MTP
O.K. have try the new mtp. It install fine without the need to do any window or registry edit. The only drawback (to me) is the ifruit tab icon. It spoil the whole silver feeling. Just a small sacrifice though. Just follow the link given by mkucuksari and download the correct version. Install and softreset. It'll be there.

This cab give a coloured today icon and works for sense, if you don't like the apple icon. It also give a people link on the right instead of MTP settings but the link is non functioning, also the MTP setting link was not functioning on my rom stock 1.66, you can gain access to MTP setting from start menu.

Hi,
One question: After installing this cab, do you also face with a annoying "MTP Load" message at start-up process.

For Colour Windows icon, please install following cab, after installing the main cab.
This is great idea to add MSN Messenger in one of these tab ..
eg. like twitter
Is there a cab for adding more quick links? Something similar to cookies home tab? I can not install cookies for some reason and would like to have more quicklinks and cant find anything in the search.
Try this.
it runs without MaxManila and Coockies Home Tab!

You would need just remove and re add your program shortcuts from the quicklinks.
That should restore the text.
