Help with start-menu and HTC Keyboard - General Questions and Answers

I want to hide or remove the home icon in the startmenu since I already have a home button on the bottom of the phone. What can I do to remove it? Also where can I find the default skin for HTC's soft keyboard or at least a cab that can over write it? I am using an HD2, which is WVGA.

Moved as not theme release.

I have looked everywhere for both things and I cant find any solution. Can anyone pitch some insight?

you need to app unlock your device to be able to do delete start-menu items from active sync -> explore -> device -> Windows -> startmenu. Check/search in the appropriate forum for you device for the suitable cab.
Alternatively, If this is a Windows mobile HTC device, I am pretty sure you can do this with the total commander file editor that you install to your phone. I can't post links yet (being a new member) but if you search the forums, you can find the download link for the latest version of total commander.

Manila 2D - how to put shortcut to apllication on "LauncherWidget"

Hi all!
I have Asus P552 - PL orange brand,
Installed Manila 2d - 19b version for all devices and M2DC.
Also I have on memory card some apllication but now they are not available in programs folder - after HR.
I would like to know how to put shortcut to application from memory card (which is not available on programs filder) on "LauncherWidget" M2D??
Anyone?
"Operator settings 0.40" dosent work, only crashed manila.
Shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Hi
You need to create a shortcut to the file you want to open and place it in:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Obviously this will also make the file accessible in your standard WM Start Menu. To achieve this you will need a file explorer. You can do it in the standard Windows Mobile File Explorer as long as you ensure "Show All Files" is enabled. Otherwise, Total Commander PPC is very good and when you select Menu and File you get an option "Create Shortcut" from which you can specify the shortcut location.

Works!
Sustanon, sorry to barge in on your thread, but I see you have M2D running on the Asus P552.
I'm hoping to get M2D running on my dad's XDA Zest (which afaik is a rebranded Asus P552).
Would you mind giving a quick rundown of whats needed to make it work on the Asus?
I found the post here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2761662&postcount=3885
Do I have to install all the attached cab's then install the all devices version of the M2D ?
Also any reason why you are using v19.. I see the latest is v21, I presume all after v19 are patched for all devices, or is that not the case?
Many Thanks!
Hi!
I have this one "ALL DEVICES (VERSION 19b) WITH YOUTUBE ON INTERNET WIDGET" from there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2761662&postcount=3885 but some apllications doesnt work, like HTC album alnd HTC audio manager (Asus have own managers EZI Photo and Ezi Music - by the way - they are crappy looks and not fingerfriendly ) - You can turn off tabs in Manila 2d which not work.
You need to install all the cabs from this pack, they have correctly numbers.
You can try to install without Audio Manager and Photo Manager,
Install also M2DC - but dont turn on "OperatorWidget" - this one can crashed Your Manila.
Some times ago I tried v21 but it doesnt work.
Install Manila on clean system. After HR.
Try also this application to have better manila looks os:
iContact,
FingerSuite,
HTC Calculator
and some dialer
When You istall everything try this Windows .tsk theme
@attachment
I hope helpfully.
EDIT: BY THE WAY - Asus Glide works terrible!! Slow and not really fingerfriendly
Thanks for the reply.
I have just been searching some more and now I'm not so sure that the XDA Zest is the Asus P552..
Does your Asus have a VGA screen?
I'm pretty sure that my dad's XDA has a VGA screen but there doesn't appear to be much info around regarding which Asus device the zest really is.
zest http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1480
p552 http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1468
compare
zest - better battery, resolution screen, usb 2.0
why?!
Nice link, haven't seen that site before..
Doesn't look like M2D will be going on to the Zest then, I can only find a fairly old version for VGA which the author says eats memory.
Thanks for your help anyway!

installing homescreen plusplus on XDA2_Haseeb's WM6.5

Hi,
Sorry if there is a simple straight forward answer to this question but im still a bit of a noob! I have the rom - XDA2_Haseeb's WM6.5 (CHome+LockScreen - 21215) and i am trying to install homescreen plusplus on it, however when i do so all i get is a folder in programs with a Task List TaskManager icon in. When i try to run it nothing happens?
I have tried downloading the Basic edition the advanced and the UI version with the same thing happening.
Does this program work with this ROM?
Many thanks in advanced!
Dave
You have to go to Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items
Uncheck "Windows Default" and check the Homescreen one at the bottom.
However, doing this disables the new CHome today screen. As far as I know, that's the only way to do it.
You can also try chi-tai's Second today so you can switch between CHome & your standard today screen with HomeScreen++.-
excuse me for using this thread but can someone help me with a link to homescreen ++ ?
i've been searching for it.don't know if there's a thread about stuff like that in the forum, sry if there is ... i'm new here.
You can visit the official page or download the cab from the attachment .-

Softkeys..

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?

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!

Remapping softkeys in TouchFlo 3D

Apologies if there's already a thread about this; it seems like there should be, but I couldn't find one.
Anyway: I recently upgraded from a Kaiser to a Touch Pro (AT&T branded Fuze), and while I like the TouchFlow 3D interface in general, I'd like to remap some of the softkeys do do different things.
For example, I use O3Touch as a contact manager (http://www.o3touch.com/screenshots.html), so I'd like to have the "contacts" softkey on the home page, and the "all people" softkey on the people tab to point to that instead of to the default contact manager. I never use the calendar, so I want to use the "calendar" softkey on the home tab for something else.
I can't find any obvious config files, reg settings or apps that can remap softkeys within the TouchFlo interface. Can anyone help?
download and install total commander and navigate to \\Plugins\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and change HomeLSKPath, HomeLSKText, HomeRSKPath, and HomeRSKText to what you want. You can only change the softkeys on the home tab though.
Thanks!
That does exactly what I want.

Is there a possibility to remap right softkey in order to turn on/off wlan.
It would be useful.
Maybe just putting the link to "Windows/Comm manager" or something more
direct?
EDIT:
No problem I found solution

Directlink to Programs and Settingsmenu in WM 6.1?

Hello
I searched on google and on Xda and I found nothing useful.
It is possible to make a directlink to the Programs and the Settingsmenu in WM 6.1?
I dont want to go everytime the way over The Start / Win Button to open these menus.
i can't use WW 6.5 because I'm on SE X1 and there is no bugfree german Rom out.
Thanks
These tools are unfortunately only usable for 0409 (english) ROM!
