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?

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?

Can you be a bit more specific about how to install that, please.

to my knowledge those manila files need to be cooked in your own custom rom to be able to use them (as in, they replace parts of manila)

Oh come on man.
Close Manila (Settings -> Home -> Disable Checkbox), copy the files into Windows dir. After that enable manila again. (Maye a soft reset will be needed).
Good luck
Tom
Edit: Tried it now. Works like charm

Or you can use the below attached cab files.
1. This one makes the calendar and date transparent
2. This one removes the text "Calendar" from the home screen (this one is the multilanguage version)

Does this make the background of the calendar tab transparent or does this make the calender and date background on the home screen transparent ?
It looks like the latter, rather than removing the black background, leaving it transparent behind the actual calender tab ? (not the home screen)

These are home tab tweaks. Not calender tab which you are looking for.

Set "alarm" to right softkey

Hi guys, i'd realy like to know which path leads to the "alarm" menu (the right slider in the clock menu, which you can access through tipping on the clock on homescreen (manila 2.1, wm 6.5).
I need the filepath, to set it up on the right softkey on manila homescreen.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks...
Sascha
P.S.: I don't need instructions how to edit the softkeys, i know how to proceed in the registry.

\Windows\Clock.exe will get you to the same screen as when you click on the clock but not sure how to default to Alarm tab.

All right, thanks so far for this hint, but it actually gets me to the "windows" clock settings - due to the nice look of manila / sense / tf3d (whatever), i would prefere to get to the manila style clock settings (alarm settings).
Anybody else an idea?

I don't think it can be done because manila uses a series of Mode9 files for one CPL, so there are multiple files for that function.
Another option would be an external program like G-Alarm.

Okay... that's why nowhere else on the net I found an answer...
Thank you though...

Feature Settings
If it's a *.cpl file it's accessible! See my post and within it several links to more information about accessing Feature Settings via *.LNK files...
In the xda wiki there's a link for the Windows Alarms.

It just needs some more investigation <g>

As Sascha stated, "i would prefere to get to the manila style clock settings (alarm settings)." not the windows CPL, which as I stated can be achieved by linking to Clock.exe
You can't link the Manila Alarm UI to a softkey.
Nice tutorial though.

Weather on Home Screen

A lot of people asked to remove weather from clock on home screen.
I made solution for cookie home tab.
1. U need to install cookie home tab first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483
2. Then copy files from attachment to windows directory.
This mod for Sense 2.5

why dont you want the weather?
i think its pretty nice, not only on the weathertab.
on the homescreen is nice i think. you always know, which wheather is.
DN41

I don't want weather on my home tab, because home-screen became too slow.

mh...i dont recognize such a lag.
with my stock rom, there's everything very smooth...
DN41

Well if you're using a HD2 like it says you are in your sig, thats no wonder. This definitely sped up my TD2, so many thanks for this.

GTX bug
it made the background for the alarm black.
it should be white in the sense theme im using.
can someone make a cab for it so it doesnt do that?

arthurwork, i notice from the picture you uploaded that you still have the task manager button in the top right hand corner, where did you get it, when I updated my Rom, it got rid of it.

Task manager:

arthurwork, I installed the football Task Manager, but it doesn't show up, and I can't find where the program has been isntalled

arthurwork, I have tried to copy the two files from the folder into my windows directory, but it won't let me. I have tried un-ticking the HTC sense thing so it wasn't running and then copying, but that wouldn't let me either.
I also found the football task manager program in there while I was do this, and it is the correct one, and it is also set to be on the home screen, but it doesn't show up, any ideas?
Thanks

To copy files you'll need some shell like Total commander or Resco Explorer to replace files in windows directory.
After installing task manager do a soft reset )

Hi Arthur,
I also woul like to get rid of that sensless Weather-Animation at the start screen.
I copied "3b06b4a0_manila" and "7c60907d_manila" in the Windows Directory. After a reboot Cookie's HomeTab seems to be destroyed and I have no App-Icons any more.
I'm using Artemis 8 + Cookies. Do You have any idea ?

This mod is for sense 2.5 and Cookie 1.6.1. I think you are using another version.

#($*%&#(*&%(#!!!!!

Unless I'm missing something.....
If you have CHT installed, just use the weather toggle feature and add it to one of your shortcuts and turn animation off.
This tweak arthurwork posted is for the weather on home tab, not the weather animation.

I don't want just to turn off the animation. I would like to have no weather at all on my home screen.

How to set Same background (wallpaper) in TouchFLO

I want to set the same background in my Touch2, anyone know that ...
Thanks a lot.

If you mean in all your tabs.....use M2Dcustomizer.

Yes, when I select weather, address, or music tab, I want it can show my wallpaper, not default background.

It worked?

I used Diamond before, one apps cab can be modified it, now I don't know if Touch2 has or not ...

As mentioned use M2D customizer...go to tab background......click on right button "path to new background file"and it is done (PNG files!).
Alternatively you can install a complete "theme" as you find many on XDA (based on new 2.0 Touch flo). Go to tab themes in M2DC. First upload the theme to your phone and put in themes folder.
