Start Menu Rearranging

Hi, great forum by the way....
I want to rearrange the start menu i.e put pocket excel word into a folder called Pocket office etc. But it won't let me as the shortcuts have attibutes such as system and read-only. i have used SPB pocket plus and Resco explorer to get rid of these properties but it won't work. it used to work on my xda exec, but is doesn't on my xda orbit. can someone help, please.
Looked around the forums, but can't find anything
thanks

... had the same problem but the Resco File Explorer worked for me.

hi, thanks for that. just figured it out. you tap the box twice, first one greys it out, the second tap gets rid of the ticks.
thanks!

S2U2 and TouchFlo Cube conflict

Hey guys,
quick question here,
i put S2U2 on to my gf's phone and she is complaining that when she "slides to unlock" the cube jumps up as well, since it recognises the left to right gesture.
apart from giving her the back hand and sending her back to the kitchen, how can the problem be solved? apart from disabling cube/the left to right gesture (which is the solution as more complaints from woman occurs)
thanks in advance
jason

add s2u2 to the touchflo disable program list in the config file or install schaps touchflo config program and use that to set it in the disabled list.

thanks for that brillent suggestion.
one question, i go in to FTouchFlo Config, and go to exclusions but cant seem to find a button to click to allow me to add s2u2 to the list.
thanks in advance
jason

edit
ok anyone else looking to do this you just hold down the screen and the button to add programs to list will appear.

tap and hold the screen until the context menu shows up.

Hi,

hello... i'm a proud owner of a touch HD but i can find this config.txt anywhere some help is SUPER apriciated.....

[APP] TouchFlow Detacher

TouchFlo Detacher is yet another way to simultaneously have TouchFlo 3D and the regular Today screen. Previous excellent solutions include SecondToday and ManilaControl.
Description
So what makes it different? Well, this app is actually very similar to MastSogo's ManilaControl. The main difference is that the author plans to actively develop it for a while, whereas ManilaControl has been a bit frozen in development for a few months. It is also open source, licensed under the Ms-RL. The program is on CodePlex, so download speeds should be much better than the average rapidshare link. Finally, it is in English and not Spanish. Other than that, it's just another solution for the same problem!
See it in action on the YouTubes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk0xWm8PMGQ
Download the CAB and source code here: http://www.codeplex.com/TFDetacher
Installation
As explained on CodePlex...
1. Install the CAB
2. Run the configuration app
3. Enable all the standard Today Items you want to use
4. Do not re-enable TouchFlo 3D in the Today items (if you do, it will undo all your other Today plugins)
Requirements
Windows Mobile 6.1
.Net Compact Framework 2.0
A device that runs TouchFlo3D / Manila
Current features
- Free up your Today screen by hosting Manila outside of the Today screen! TouchFlo Detacher can launch/show/hide/close Manila independent of any other Today screen settings. Now you can have your TouchFlo cake and eat it too! The most obvious use is to assign a soft key to toggle between seeing TouchFlo and seeing the regular Today screen.
- Service runs as a background application (in your StartUp folder) for maximum speed when toggling Manila modes.
- NO ANNOYING SPLASH SCREEN when application launches.
- Service is 100% idle when not receiving messages or controlling TouchFlo, so no CPU is wasted! (Just a tiny bit of RAM)
- Configuration application allows modifying manila.exe location, manila window class, and more, so that this utility can (presumably) be used with other manila versions (such as TouchFlo 2D). This is untested. Out of the box, it supports TouchFlo 3D in its default configuration as seen on the Diamond/Pro/HD.
- Configuration application can clean out the ManilaActivateToday.exe from the notification queue. (That app can interefere with TouchFlo Detacher's operation.)
- Shortcuts to start/show Manila, hide Manila, and close Manila. These can be assigned to hardware buttons (if your device has them) or virtual hardware buttons through the use of 3rd party applications such as AE Button Plus.
- Configuration application can customize the softkeys in both Today and TouchFlo's Home tab. You can use it to not only assign TouchFlo Detacher operations (show/hide/close), but any other application on your device.

I want only to say many thanks for that cab it works very good on my Touch HD ... Great App cardefbel

THE best piece of software I've downloaded. Used it on both Touch Diamond and Touch HD and love it!
Perfect - thanks

Thanks for this awesome app....

Would I be correct in thinking that with your app I can go all out on WAD2 or something and still be able to switch back and forth between WAD2 and Touchflo without all the hassle?

Thanks. Downloaded, installed, and be able to switch between TF3D and my old style today with Spb Diary.

This is not my application, but I realy love it and would share it with y'all.

Is it also possible to have TF3D together with SPB today screen combined whit SPB mobile shell?

Hi Guys,
i add a screenshoot just to share with you the result of this great app.
i have one question, maybe someone of you have the same problem.
i am running the "non TF3D" screen with Resco today plugin and launcher.....if i try to put a background (via setting Today, use picture as background...) no matter which kind of picture i choose, they are opaque.
cant figure out a solution.
thanks and Ciao!

Thanks cardefbel !!!
i can tell that this is the best suggestion i have never got in this forum.
you have got the point at the first shot!!!!!! and i have my second today with a brilliant background.
of course thanks to chaosdefinesorder that playing with the device have found out the problem.
for those are asking about my second today:
Resco today plugin
Resco explorer 2008
that's it.
ciao!

Looks great!
I have tried WAD2 and Spb Mobile Shell and I like many of the things that those things bring that TF3D doesn't. I like them both, but I have not been able to break away from the TF3D which is one of the major factors I purchased the phone. Now I can have my cake and eat it too. We'll give it a shot! Thanks.
Update - I loaded it and it seems to work great. I loaded back my Spb Mobile Shell and seems to be working nicely between. It did take a few tweaks, but it is running fine. One thing however is that when I am back in TF3D my hard home key doesn't work to bring me back to the TF3D home. Any ideas?

Thanks for the program cardefbel but I am having a problem with it....notice that if I'm using the SPB screen it won't go back to TF3D after 15mins.....if I want my TF3D i need to reboot it.....but if I on the TF3D I can swap to SPB anytime.....

absolutely excellent, having my appointments on the screen with a 1 button press to TF3D is awesome

Are you using SPB mobile shell or SPB pocket plus. I tried to reproduce it with SPB mobile shell, but the switching to TF3D worked for me after 15 mins.
BTW, it's not a program I wrote, found it on the net and realy liked it.

I have a problem with WEATHER page
I have started the program
il works perfectly BUT
if i go in the weather page, under TF3D, he changes automatically to today.
Any idea ????

Same issue here .. If anyone has a key..
I prefer to have this button for TF3D Home instead of going back to Today

How to remove weather from the homescreen clock?

As the title says. I don't use the TF3D weather in Manila 2.1, so it's just messing up my homescreen really... I would so dearly like to get rid of it, but I haven't managed to do so yet, after half an hour or more of searching. I did a regedit:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.EnableCurrentLocation
but it didn't help setting it to 0 and soft resetting. The weather is still there, under the clock, showing me we had sun a couple months ago. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

i have found that disabling the Weather tab disables it under the clock.

Hm. Not so here, I have had that weather tab disabeled since I first booted the phone up, but it's still on the today screen.

Noone with relevant info?

The reg edit should have worked.
Turn of My location
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\weather.EnableCurrentLocation set to 0
But you need to set your clock (home screen manilla) and select my location at the clocks, not your hometown. It will just state "my location" instead of the name of your home town and not show any weather. At least that is what it does on mine.
Give it a try

You helped me in some way actually. Your tip about the manila clock "My location" got me on the right track. I only had "My location" there, so I added another city, selected it and fount the weather database file in Application data\HTC\database and deleted it, then selected "My location" again. Presto
Thanks!

Glad you figured it out and I could be of some help
Cheers

@ mhurg, how did you manage to delete the *.db file in application data/htc/database I am not able to delete it.
Greetz Sascha

You must disable TouchFlow/Sense first, delete the db file, and then re-enable TF/Sense.

PLEASE is there a small monthly calendar display???

Is there ANY where I can find a way to display a small calendar of the month on the TODAY screen??
I see small analog clocks by the hundreds. But not ONE little 31 day calendar anywhere.
It would be great to have an analog clock AND the month displayed maybe with holidays highlighted,
and a click-able appointment maker when you 'touch' the day.
Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 WinMo ver. 6.1
Thank U (x) 100 for any help!

Why would this be necessary when we already have the calendar tab?
Use Outlook to insert your country's public hoildays.
If you want quick access to this tab, just tap on the "Calendar" link under "Call History" on your home tab. Or you can just position the calendar tab as one of the first 5 tabs so that you can just tap on it on the slider bar.

I am too lazy to have to press a tab to do that.
That and I want to be able to see both the calendar
and other screen items at the same time.
I COULD make a background pic that shows a 'static' month but...
gee... it's a computer... I'm not smart enough to program a cool
dynamic calendar myself though.

RLCalendar will do what you want and is freeware.
It will display a calendar is all no holidays highlighted and no clicking on it for anything but it will show a monthly calendar.

RLCalendar will only work with the old Today screen of WM 5-6.1 it won't work for WM6.5 after installing the cab you have to go to settings>today and turn it on and configure how big or small you want it.

Yep. I got that; WM 6.1 on this Verizon TP2.
When I open Today->Programs I see no rl-anything, rlToday or rlCalendar.
But when I open Today->Settings->System->Remove Programs, they are
displayed and listed in there:
"rotlaus Software rlToday" & "rlSoft rlCalendar" are in the 'list' of removable programs.
However when I go to Today->Settings->Personal->Today->Items and look at all the items I can turn on...
I see no items on the list that read rlToday or Today or rlCalendar or rlSoft or anything like these programs.
Just the normal items like TouchFLO 3D, Messaging, Device Lock, etc. etc.
I appreciate the help you are trying to give. I think I've finally found a device that validates
my dumb as a rock persona.

Hmm weird, I haven't tried it with WM 6.5 since I use SPB Mobile Shell and it has a nice calendar widget. Might give it a shot this weekend for you and see if I can get RLCalendar to work.

Don't do. I appreciate the thought and effort. But don't just for me please.
I have loaded a number of 'today' add-ins ( and uninstalled them ) when
they screw with my display res. or pixel widths or something.
Not worth it.
I downloaded the 'trial' SPB Shell program and calendar and I will play with that
thank you.
Maybe somebody else has fought this rlProgram wheel and will add feedback.
Thx again.
