Is there a simple way of creating application shortcuts to appear on your today screen without having to click on the windows start menu to find it?
I have searched the forum & found many similar questions but they all seem so complicated.
All I need to do is create a shortcut for an application that normally fires up when the phone is switched on but I need the ability to have quick access to the shortcut incase the app is ever accidently closed down.
This app should always be on as well as the data connection to which i also need a shortcut for.
So the COMM MANAGER icon as a shortcut for quick access would be needed to enable a quicker start to Data connection if offline for some reason
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Yes. Go to Start/Settings/Today/Items tab where you can select what you want. At least I can do it on Touch 3G (Jade).

Yes thanks but that's not what I mean, I have already tried but found that you have limited choice to what you can add. I need to add other items that are not included in th items tab.
Try this...
It's a simple shortcut creator for the today screen - sounds like just what you're after.
I use this and have had no problems with it.

Thanks for that, it does look like exactly what i need but for some reason it does not work on my O2 XDA Mantle and the Samsung Omnia, both using Windows mobile 6.1
I get the same problem on both phones where after instalation the app does not appear in start menu or in programme files.
I have selected "Easy today Launcher" in the items tab of the today screen but nothing appears to allow you to use the software
I'm on WM6.1 on a Sony Xperia and its fine.
Did you add any icons to it?
It doesn't appear in programme files or programmes - just in Today settings.
Go to Settings->Today->Items.
Make sure the box is ticked next to 'Easy Today Launcher'.
Select 'Easy Today Launcher' so thats its highlighted gry, then click options. Use add to add a new application to the bar, remove to remove ones you don't want, and up and down to chane the order. You can also select whether you want large or small items in the options screen.

Doh!!
That's it thanks
It now works
I found another app called SBSH iLauncher but it's not free
it allows shorcuts to documents which is something else I need, it doesn't look line Easy today Launcher can do this as it only creates shortcuts to applications.
thanks for your time.
I have updated my TP2 with the stock Verizon WM6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM upgrade. I have noticed that the weather animations on the Today screen wallpaper, which I think are great, will stop working if I go to beyond the Start screen and hit "All Applications", and it brings up the full apps list. Even without starting any of the apps there, going back to the Today screen, the animations on the wallpaper will not work with any method that I can find other than restarting Sense 2.1 with a soft reset or similar restart of manila.exe
I know most folks here are beyond the stock ROMs but wondering if anyone has seen this too and figured out how work around this problem that I assume is a bug and will not in all probability ever get fixed from HTC. Hopefully this is the worst probelm with the new ROM, whick I can live with but would like to correct if possible.
Thanks!
After a while it does stop the animation. One trick I found out (and it helps with the memory leak), is just move around the tabs just to initate the reloading of sense. Then it will do it again.
Hit the task manager at the top right of the screen (where you close running programs, etc) and then close it. The animation will restart.
I recognize the open and closing of Task Manager does restart it under normal situations, but it will not restart it if you go into the All Applications page. Thats what breaks it...keeps the aminations from running again until you restart Sense 2.1 through several methods, soft-reset, going through the motions of changing the Today screen icons (see above) or some app that resarts the manila.exe program like cleanRam.
Interesting I never noticed this before.

Doesn't do it on mine. I've got the "All Applications" page in Sence 2.1. I've also installed 4 icons in the All Applications and All Programs pages, Awsome Start (single row WinMo start menu). Plus animated weather with any home screen wallpaper and a working BG4All.
Goin to My Application, or All Programs, then back to home and weather works fine. So either somthing in the .cabs & tweaks I've done has fixed it, or somthing in the .cabs & tweaks you've done broke it.
Yup it does it for me. Now I know what stops the weather.

I have a pretty much stock phone with several tweeks/cabs (stop sent message balloon, restore message light flashing capabilities, and a couple of other minor ones) that I don't believe have anything to do with breaking it so I'm gussing that some of yours are "fixing it".
Hmm maybe its the weather for all backgrounds that is making the weather stay. I guess I will look for that cab and see if it fixes our problem.
Don't have the ability to hook up my phone and upload the .cab... but search for: "2.1apristel BG4ALL_W_Fullscreen_Animations.cab" and you should come up with it pretty quick.
That's the only one that worked for me with the CDMA Verizon 6.5/Sense 2.1 phone without breaking somthing else.
Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Myself personally, I do not like the Manila start menu, and have disabled it. I use the standard WM 6.5 honeycomb start menu. I have not experienced any problems with the animations since disabling the manila start menu.
How do you disable just the Manila (Sense 2.1) start menu and use the WM6.5 one?

You can do it one of two ways.
I did it with a .cab that also added a "Programs" tab in the TouchFlo/Sense interface as well. But using the registry editor. HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration. Open File 11 and under the D word value "Enable", change the value from 0 to 1.
There is another edit, though, where you can choose which start menu the device uses. I'm 99% sure it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and under the D Word Value "IsWM6.5" and the default setting is no (which = 0). Change it to a "1" and I'm pretty sure you'll get what you're looking for.

In both cases, my settings are "1" and I have not changed these at all from the Stock VZW 6.5 upgrade. Am I misreading?

Hmmm, I Downloaded My ROM from PCD & I Don't Have Animated Weather for My Today Screen, Only In My Weather Tab. Where Did You Download Your ROM From?
Downloaded from the same place as you...PCD.
Hmmm, By Any Chance Do You Still Have The Original ROM You Updated Your TP2 With? Can You Send It My Way? I'd Really Appreciate It
Actually I deleted it. The phone was updated and working properly so I saw no reason to keep it as I could always download from the PCD website again.
Did you load other tweak cabs to your new 6.5 ROM that you had in 6.1. Maybe you did someting. Try a hard reset?
Sorry thats all I have for suggestions.

Change registry setting below:
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\EnableManilaStartMenu
Set DWORD to 1 (use TF3D)
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\EnableManilaStartMenu
Set DWORD to 0 (Use WM Menu)

I'll Give It a Shot Doing a Hard Reset, Thanks for The Help Though
Hello,
in advance, I own a LG P350 Optimus Me and find no suitable subcategory.
My questions are,
1st I can the apps, rename to appear in the menu?
1.a) change their symbols?
2nd Can I customize the view Dowloads at the end of the menu?
2.a) There are not added all of my apps to be visible.
To make these changes I would like to renounce the use of other apps, this is possible with the capabilities of the phone?
3rd Can I delete the search history from the market (Originalapp)?
I hope this is reasonably legible, for certain words I had to use a translator.
greeting

Hi Guys,
sorry for pushing up this feed.
It seems nobody has any ideas, so another Question.
Did anybody knew something about App called ADW Launcher?
I´ve tried the App Go Launcher before, but it looks not really as before after installing.
What i need is a app which can hide some installed Apps without changing the screens. It should look as before, only clear some imho trash apps which are installed.
regards
NetJay
I know that some of is missing the appdrawer, but there's a work around , without installing a new launcher. Some of you might already know it, If you pinch out from anywhere form your homescreen, you'll acces the hidden application window. If you miss the appdrawer, you can use this as appdrawer, you simply add all the apps that you don't want to be shown on the desk/home screen.
How can you get the apss back on the homescreen ?
Just found it
Now the apps are even sort automatically in alphabet order on the homescreen .
Great.
Hope my english is not too bad

You get the apps back on the homescreen by pressing ( + ) and remove the checkmark on apps you want to be on homescreen.
Hi guys,
I just got a T’Eyes CC3 2K (6GB-128GB) installed today and i think it’s amazing so far.
I encountered a glitch though …
For some reason the “+” button used to add apps shortcuts on Homepage is not workibg when the list is empty.
I removed the default shortcuts and then tried to add my own but the button is non-responsive anymore.
Prior to removal of default shortcuts that “+” button was working
I think it’s related to the default theme config somehow because if i switch themes all the default shortcuts gets populated again.
Any solution for this ? Thanks !
Clear Launcher storage and do not delete all shortcuts at once. This is launcher bug in march 2023 firmware
Thanks so much for replying !
Can you tell me how to clear the launcher storage ?
Maybe it’s a noob question but i don’t want to experiment with it and mess it up
PS: Yeah i was thinking it is a bug. I didn’t upgrade the firmware so i think my unit had the March firmware already installed.
Thank yoh so much !
Settings - Devise - Apps. Look for Launcher3 and clear storage.
The conclusion:
All fixed Clearing the launcher storage did the trick by resetting the homepage.
Now, i will avoid deleting all the app shortcuts at once …
Thank you so much gordgelin !

Just keep the shortcut that you don’t want pressed until it’s gone. (Hold your finger on the shortcut)
Thank you!
