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...
View attachment SoftKeyApplet.zip
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.
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

Try the attached.
thanks much
erm... where do I find it once installed?
Start--Settings--system
there should be a icon in there called 'softkey'
it wasn't there 'til i did a soft reset
thanks
Now is there a way of having one of the buttons go straight to running programs?

Go to start>settings>system>softkey and you can then choose which application you wish to assign to left or right softkey. To get the calendar working properly on either softkey you will need to reg edit.
go to \HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
and change:- windows\lsk\htccalendar.exe
to:- windows\lsk\calendar.exe
but wm6 there's no "running programs" application to be put there
I don't know if this has been asked and answered before, but I need some help please.. Okay you know how on the T-Mobile Dash when you select a program or whatever and when you go back to the homescreen the program is displayed?? Well I was wondering does anyone know how to clear them from there when you are done using it?? Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Also I installed a program and didn't like it so I deleted it but the short cut or whatever was still on my homescreen so I had to reset my phone to get it cleared..
Thanks as always
Doesn't the default homescreen display your most recently used programs? If so, just use other programs until the one in question is pushed off of the list.

I know that, I was wondering if there was something else I could use..
If you never want to see those icons go and edit the home xml. Your home screens are in Application Data/Home (or something like that, I'm not sure). Find the xml file you are currently using as Home screen and edit it on a PC. Remove the snippet of the MRU list.
Sorry I don't know a way to actually clear the list on the go.
(BTW, a quick note: please refrain yourself from using red. It's pretty hard to read.)
Hi every one and thanks in advance for your help.
On my Samsung i780, there is no way to accept/dismiss the ALS (automatic Line Selection) and this message takes the use of the left soft key rendering useless on the today screen.
I have tried the soft key software and the Shaps advance customisation but the notification message stay on always...
I would try to attach 2 pictures so everybody can have a better idea of my problem. I have make a GREEN CIRCLE pointing to the problem.
Any ideas / solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
I am having the same problem with I780PUHB3 phone ROM and russian Beeline SIM card. I figured out it depends on SIM card, so you may be lucky asking your carrier for a neew SIM card.
i had the same problem.. but when i install RealVGA, the icon is not in the taskbar anymore, and the left softkey is usable now, maybe is a problem with a space in the screen
I have/had the same problem, but unfortunately there seem to be no solution but to change the sim.
I tried it with two "3"-simcards in Austria: The new one seemingly doesn't have a second line.
remove it from registry
To make the notification disappear, remove the 2 entries under the following registry.
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Shell\Notifications\Active
REMEMBER to back up the registry first. But everytime u get phone service again u need to do the above again.
Anyway, hope this helps.

Make changes in registry as follows:
[\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
Enabled=0
Is there any way to keep the indicator at the top of the screen but suppress the notification message in the bottom left?
I'd like to know which line I currently have selected but don't want to lose the use of the left soft key.
The first registry change in this thread only works until you turn the phone on and off again which is unhelpful.
The second registry change in this thread gets rid of the indicator on the top bar - thus getting rid of the notification message - but that's not quite what I want to do.
As far as i know there is no way of doing what you want, we went through this a while back when i asked the question ages ago and i dont think it has been sorted yet.
Basically the samsung dialer skin brings the line 2 functionality, it is either a choice of using that skin with the line 2 and the annoying notification, or using the standard dialer without.
Its a tough call, i went for the second option. If i ever work it out i will be sure to let you know.
I would love a further fix for this. The problem with the fix below is that I cannot use a skin for the dialer and I much prefer some of the more finger friendly dialers...
[\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]
Enabled=0
So any further ideas?
Hello people,
Has anyone solved this problem?
Thanks in advance

works on my i780 (heineken v.2.1 ROM) thx
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).
Hi guys,
I just picked up my MDA Vario V and noticed that some things seem to be missing compared to the normal TP2
-TF3D2 style notification bubbles
-New notification manager
-Facebook upload feature
-Option to disable the icon screen you get when clicking on the taskbar.
Is there a way to fix this through cabs, or do I need to wait for HardSPL to come out and flash a new rom?

This should get facebook working...
Do the following 3 reg edits...
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\
1. Facebook.Disable (Set the DWORD to 0)
2. Manila://people\browserlayer\peopleupdate.page.hidden (Set the DWORD to 0)
3. Manila://PeopleDetail\peopleView.page.hidden (Set the DWORD to 0)
Then do a soft reset of the device and it should work
Thanks for your help. But it does not work On the one hand now you can go on "Me" (contact card) and can see the facebook button at the bottom (it wasn't there before changing the registry settings). But by trying to start the "app" nothing happens. it's like a block..

What is it you're trying to start? When you are in "People", can you not go to "Updates" and link to a facebook profile?

I think so. I've got the german device, so I don't really know how the tabs are named on the english one. But I think I know what you mean. So I think normally you should have some kind of an "action" button for each contact where you can see the facebook status, etc.? I haven't got this tab. My tabs for each contact are: Details (with all numbers and adresses,etc); sms messaging, e-mail and phone history

I got the MDA Vario 5 as well. To my delight, it wasnt sim-locked.
So far, not much missing or added to the phones ROM by TMobile.
They have some Web n Walk stuff added as an 'Internet' tab and like the other guy mentioned, some notification stuff is missing.

Do you have this screen when in the contact...
Hi boys,
i don't have TP2, just TP1, but I am solving this problem too...i have a ported version of TF3D2 without facebook integration, but I was able to get it working.
I've attached all files that I needed for FB integration. Some files are hidden..
Copy only those manila files that are not included in your ROM.
Maybe the only needed file will be FacebookSDK.dll
copy all needed to \Windows\ folder...
hope I helped a bit
PS: you also have to make registry edit mentioned before.

No, I do not have this screen But after copying some files (incl. the FacebookSDK.dll) out of the fb.zip I got the following:
My own contact-card (screen2)
Contact-Card of a contact in "view-mode" (screen1) --> "Events-Tab" is missing
Contact-Card of a contact in "edit-mode" (screen3)
If I want to link a contact with a foto, I get screen4 --> After choosing "Facebook-Profil" I get the list with all my facebook contacts (screen5)
Edit: Sorry, the attached thumbnails aren't in the right order. So: "Screen2" is the first one, "Screen1" is the last, "Screen3" is the fourth, "Screen 4" is the third and "Screen5" is the second one.
I did not have any of these "facebook-links" in my TF3D-menus before.
Does anybody have an idea how to fix the problem with the events-tab ?
BennyT
does anybody know how to activate the "progams-tab" in the slider?
