Adding .exe on storage card to HTC Home Launcher Menu - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hello,
Does anyone know how to add an executable file as a shortcut in the HTC Home Launcher menu?
At the moment the only files in the list box for the launcher are the installed applications.
This is where i want the shortcut to be:
(next to MSN icon)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this is the program i want a shortcut to:
(launcher.exe)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Your *.exe application seems like saved under storage card. That's fine because it will eventually save up your main memory.
Try this:
1. Create a shortcut for the desired application.
2. Save the shortcut into Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
It worked for me as I created lots of application which saved under the storage card (you can save them all in one folder maybe called Program files).

With Resco Explorer tap on the desired exe and select "Send to Start Menu as Shortcut" or something like that . Then it will be available for HTC Launcher.

THanks a lot!! I'll try this out when i get home and back to my beloved artemis.
again, thank you dellkia and freco

just to let you know, it worked.
thanks

Glad to hear that!

photo dail on HTC Home Plugin

Hi all,
I've got the HTC Home Plugin up and running now, and would like to make 1 change if possible...
Can the favorite-contacts tab be changed to use photo's instead of just the names?
to clarify: I'd like the tab to look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I don't understand your question. HTC Home Plugin's Favorite tab should work the same way as you described. Tapping an empty box should pop up Contacts app from where you can choose whom to display among Favorites.
So, the problem can be
1. You chose persons from Contacts who has no photo attached. In this case the plugin can show the name only.
2. Your installed Home Plugin is buggy - if so, try another one; there are a lot avaible in the forum.
Good luck!
Yes you can´t specify the photo in HTC Home - you have to do this via pocket outlook contacts. than htc home should use the photos instead of the name
You're correct! Very sorry to have posted this, I thought I saved a photo with a certain contact, but apparently that went wrong. I assigned the photo to the contact again, and now it shows the photo!

Does anyone know what manilla files is used for the small nd big Weather icons?
I'm using Dutty's 2.9 and the files stated in the wiki aren't the correct ones

moving icons and folders

Hi, is there an app you can run on your pc in active sync mode where you can change you start menu screen folder placements, icons and folder contained item shortcuts. Alternatively something you can run on your phone without reg hacking.
If not there should be, would be a really nice little app for that extra ROM polishing.
I ask as I havent yet found a ROM with a start screen I have been happy with, most are untidy and there also seems to be a lot of icon / folder duplication.
Well, you do all that from the file explorer. Just go to Windows\Start Menu, and you can arrange the icons in any way you want. Move them from folder to folder. Also, re-arranging the icons is possible when you press and hold on the icon, and it will allow you to put it anywhere you want.
I'm hoping that's what you were looking for.
That must have sounded like a pretty silly question, however up until now I have never been able to get into the windows folder via active sync, it always froze. I can with this rom
I also have a utility for this, particular creating and moving icons in the start menu from one folder to another:

To download:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Use total commander. Then, go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, and move/rename your shorcut anywhere you want. You can make folder too.

It's messy, but you could try the registry.
Run regedit (hit Start or Win+R, type "regedit" without quotes, hit Enter, approve UAC prompt).
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Edit the strings in the relevant registry values, such as "My Pictures".
Log out and log in again (or just restart).
I can't promise it will work - your error is weird and I've never seen it before - but hopefully it will.
Yeah it worked ! I had to do it ten times after removing and re-insert the SD but it finally worked
thank you !!

No option to add local ringtone??

Hello,
I purchased Redmi Note 8 a couple of days back and have been trying to set a ringtone from my old phone. Not sure what is wrong but when I go to "Sound and Vibration" option and select Ringtones option, it doesn't provide an option to choose a local ringtone (see the 1st screen cap below.) It only shows the ringtones available by default. I downloaded one but couldn't find a way to set it as a ringtone (neither from the Music app or File manager)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I am connected to internet, it directly shows me options from internet. This is very frustrating for me and I would appreciate any help. Below are the version details.
Go to all ringtones then my page then ringtones and click on + to add from local storage. Then apply.

I had the same problem, but I had uninstalled the Xiaomi file manager and not yet installed a replacement. So there was no option to browse to the Ringtones folder. After I installed Total Commander, everything worked. Obviously, then, the ringtone folder is accessed bu settings via the installed file manager app(s).
The actual option is "Choose local ringtone".
