Settings change from WM5 to WM6

Hi Everyone,
I upgraded to the O2 WM6 ROM last night and theres a few things I cant do that I could on WM5 and was wondering if someone could tell me how.
1. On the desktop i cant get the two buttons at the bottom to change from Calender on the left and contacts on the right.
2. The running problems icon has gone from the start menu options and I cant find it anywhere
I know these are trivial but you know what its like when you set something up the way you want and get use to it and then its taken away.
Cheers everyone.

Hi,
1. Just copy the file into the windows folder, do a soft reset, and go to start\settings\system... you will find the solution to remap the softkeys...

2. Install this program. It will make an icon to the top right of the today screen. By this icon you can manage your running programs.

Cheers zsitvayb, worked a treat.
Is there a way to remove the battery indicator from the bottom right corner of the desktop next to the comm manager. Im using batterystatus which is more accurate so i have no need for it

Yes, that's possible. You shold do some registry tweaking... Hereby you can find a descriptipn about the registry tweaking: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Registry

Thanks again.
Can i ask one more, it will be the last.
When you go to text messages the left soft key is delete where as in WM5 it was new. Any way to change this back to New.
Thanks for all your help

Not that I know of, but you can replace the soft menu keys on the Today Screen with this...

Any way to add "recent programs" to the home screen for WM6.1 "sliding panels"?

Any way to add "recent programs" to the home screen for WM6.1 "sliding panels"?
Hey, folks! 1st time post here (I think!)
Anyhow, I upgrade my Dash to the Kavana WM6.1 ROM last week. I *really* like the sliding panels home screen layout. Super useful, if you ask me! I was wondering, though, if anyone knew how to add "Recent Programs" as on of the sliding panel plugins? I've opened the "SlidingPanel.home.xml" file and found the plugins section for the home screen order. It has...
<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CAppointments;CWelcomeCenter;CWindowsLive;Settings" />
So...I'm assuming that there might be some plugin like "CRecentPrograms" that I can add. Does anyone know what the plugin would be, or info on how to get the Recent Programs in there, if possible?
Thanks!
Yip

Unfortunately, there's nothing like that available right now. The next best thing is creating a panel with your most used applications. Search around here a little bit and you'll find it.

That is a good idea, however. Does anyone know how the MRU lists works? where it is stored, how it is called? Perhaps we could cobble it together.

I think its stored in the registry under the shell - I will look for the key later

I'd agree that this would be nice to have. Really the only thing I miss about WM6.0. I'll poke around and see if I can find it as well.

The data is stored under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMRU
I'm not sure what to do with it from there though as far as creating a panel/plugin for it. If anyone could point me in a direction I'm willing to try to do it.

I would love to have this plug-in as well.

You do realize that depending on where you try and put that in the home screen, your one button click away from your recent programs list in wm6.1? Otherwise you'd be 4 to 5 clicks if you added a panel to the home screen.

That's true, of course, but it's what I prefer. I had the "Recent Programs" on my home screen in WM5.0 and WM6.0, and would like it back while still keeping the *wonderful* sliding panels UI.
Also, I would really prefer to have "All Programs" be the default when I hit the Start menu button. I know I can do that now, but then I lost the Recent Programs feature altogether.
Someone raised a good point, though: is there a way to create a home screen "panel" that features a handful of links to programs that I specify? That might actually be better, in my case.

I would try too if I knew where to get info on the new plugin system (the CHome thingy). Does anyone know? I can't find any doccos

MRU is one click away in 6.1 lol

Thank you, that's been mentioned before in this thread. It could also be one click away on the home screen, depending on where the panel is located. At worst, you wouldn't have to use it.
IMO, it's not that much different than having the CLinks on there, except instead of it being static, it's dynamic. I think it's worthwhile to have on the home screen if possible.

I'm not fussed about the recent programs how do I get All Programs come up when I hit the Start Menu Button?

nevermind I'm an idiot.

Help with a registry setting please.

I want to remap my right softkey to "Programs". Its a long story but basically Im using the latest manila and installed some progs and now need to set the right softkey back to programs.
HD tweak wont do it, it only shows up ICS_Camera.
What I want to know is from anybody who has the right softkey showing as programs and is willing to tel me what the reg settings are under -
HKLM\Sofware\HTC\Manila - HomeRSKPath.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Only shows entries for allocating calendar and agenda. I need the specific wording so it takes me to the equivalent of the old manila programs tab which is now the new start menu with the Rhodium packages as my new start menu has disappeared (Long story).

[App Req] Titanium Plugin to host traditional today plugin

Is there anyone know how to develop a Titanium Plugin which can host Traditional Today Plugin?
cheers.

i'd like that too

Hey its a good idea!

is there any developer can help?

Great idea.
But i am using the tripod method from one of the threads on ppcgeeks.
I have windows titanium as default plugin and tf3d2 on detacher mapped to left soft key which takes me to touchflo. And there i have left soft key to take me back to titanium and right key for second today. So i just keep going back and forth as i need too.
If anybody is interested then i will post the files and steps for setting it up.

but this is not exactly the solution which we want to totally independent on Touchflo.

1. Disable all plugins from the today settings
2. Install second today cab
3. TFDetacher cab
4. Soft reset and enable titanium from the today settings
5. Right soft key for clock plugin will be directed to tf3detacher. Clicking it will take you to tf3d2 back and forth. You can set the left and right key combination for both windows and tf3d under tf3detacher.
One thing what i have noticed is that if you map the left windows key to tf3d2 it wont retain after a SR, that option can only be setup using Showaco CHome Editor. Let me know if you want that setup too.
Credit goes for this goes to the guy over PPCGeeks. Enjoy.

In that case you just install the secondtoday and have all your today plugins showing in second today screen. It works that way too.

there is MTP already, which is better than second today in my opinion. MTD can host any Today Plugin in a new Tab page in Manila.
see here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508102)
What i suggest is to port MTD to Titanium. Is there anyone know how to do?
cheers.

Yes please really good to have this, any one has this already please?

Any news about this very good idea ?

I guess no movement here.. I still use SPB Pocket Plus because I don't want to give up my various (now legacy) Today screen plugins, but I'd like to check out Titanium. TF3D is cute but not very useful beyond that IMO...

Remap calendar tab on touch flo3d

I would launch my AgendaOne directly from the calendar tab on touch flo 3d. ssmaho crash my rhodium. Can anyone help me? Thanks

what version manila are you running

i'm running wm 6.5 official version and i'm a newbie. Thanks

ramap calendar tab on touch flo3d
anyone can help me?

this is proving to be a task...are you wanting the left soft key to switch to agendaone or the right...not sure if im able to do this but im looking into it

without hacking deeply in the registry, a workaround is just to put your app under the PROGRAMS TAB.
it's not the solution you want, but this was what I had to do with Goodlink.
Dont know if there's a way to redirect all the agenda items from 3rd party into the native Calender.. or some other means...

Unfortunately what youre asking for cannot be done

In AgendaOne go to Menu>Options>View All Options>Global Settings
Change "Use as Default Calendar" to "Yes", then when you use the Calendar soft key it will bring up AgendaOne.
Can also reassign PTT key to launch AgendaOne
These were my workarounds for that. Hope it helps
