how do you add icons to your today screen?

how woul di do that in wm6,
i would like to add buttons there that i use frequently, like phone, and tcpmp
.. file explorer.. and so on, how would i do that?

For example if u need to put on today screen any programm shortcut, go File explorer-My device-Program Files-Folder of desired programm-.exe of this programm-tap and hold-add on today's screen.

thanks for the reply!!
So i held it down on player.exe of tcpmp using resco file explorer the option it gave me was send to: today screen as plug in.
i choose that, and it's not there!
i'm running jw's wm6 rom.
thanks a lot though, for the help so far!

Well if its prompted you as a today plugin why dint you go to "Settings-Today-Items- and if its listed in the today plugins then tick the box next to it,and it will show on your screen as a pluggin item.I personally use wisbar desktop for that.

I attached a file which creates a kind off desktop like i have.
It also gives you the possibility to overclock your device. USE THIS FUNCTION WISELY. if you do not know how to use this search for: overclock wizard

this should be perfect, it adds icons AND overclocks?! i hope it's compatible with the universal.
thanks so much, you're all great!
i'll try this tonight and reply.

IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!
it's awesome,
too add phone into the tray is to add windows/cprog.lnk
this makes it so much better for me, how cool.
thanks guys!
thanks tabasco!

argh!! phone troubles. after the install and a restart now my o2 won't get past the windows mobile welcome screen...
after a hard reset it's fine. this sucks though. cuase that program was awesome.

as awesome and easy as that program was it just wouldn't let me restart if i tried it would hang at the windows mobile screen.
soooo....
this program works but it's a lot more work.
the tray launch program work, but it's so much work!
you have to manually type in the locations of the exes..
"windows/cprog.exe"
for the phone.
and so on.
but at least it work for me on my mobile 6!
i have to open tray launch again if i restart. that sucks.

Can I ask you a favor? Can you please copy and post the .exe file for PHM Tray Launch from the programs folder? I find it too much if I install everything in the CAB file. Too much stuff I don't need. Thanks in advance.
OR would someone be so kind enouigh to post the PHM Tray Launch .exe file?

here's the link to the thread where i found tray launch separate, it works great, but that first program i used int his thread was so much better, becuase the icons looks smooth when you added them, with tray launch they're really blocky

Thanks for this information. So which application do you use creates a better icon?

this program, once installed can add icons to the tray in the bottom very easily, howver, it causes my exec not to reboot properly.
you may have a different result
i had to do a hard reset.

WM6 contact lookup key mappings

Hello fellow T-mobile Dash users running WM6 beta...
As you all know, there is a bug (if that's indeed what it is) in the "smart dialing" capability that inserts "A,B,C" for numeral 2, "D,E,F" for numeral 3, and so on. Numeral 1 is a metacharacter (i.e. typing 1 repeatedly will just select all of your contacts).
I was looking in the registry and found a few keys that look interesting.
They are:
1) HKLM/Security/Phone/PhoneKeyMatch
2) HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/PhoneKeyMatch
There could be others, possibly relating to the keyboard driver being used, or the keyboard layout itself.

it does look interesting....i hope someone is able to do something with it...

I wish someone would be able to look into this and let us know how to fix this issue. thx

i don't think its a big deal. just hold the down key.
i'm sure it will be fixed in the final release. you can't wait a few weeks?

SOLUTION
Here's the fix to the problem... attached to this post (contained inside a zip file)
The registry settings were exported using Resco Registry. You should have that installed to import the settings back to your APP UNLOCKED phone.
I'm pretty sure this problem will be fixed in the final version, as it was a terribly simple solution. Just a few key mappings that needed to be changed.
If you don't have Resco Registry on the smartphone, you can edit the registry with whatever editor you have, and just open up the .reg file in notepad, and make the entries match.
Note that the # key also acts as the wildcard key, so if you type in the first couple of the letters of the first name and then # and then the first couple of the last name, like JO#SMI, it will match John Smith as well. Also, if you are trying to search for something like Ralph using Ra, it will bring up all of the R's, since # also acts as the wildcard character.

Thanks a bunch. Worked like a charm.
Don't forget to reset your phone after you change the keys.

Agh, you beat me to it, I wanted to post the answer first!
Well good job! Not sure if this has been covered yet but you can get rid of the BETA text on the Today Screen by modifying the following registry key"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta]
"Today"="Beta"

Yeah, I did that one a while ago... I routinely go through the entire registry when i get a new firmware

Hey - great post! Would you happen to know how to add an additional keyboard layout to WM?

I have not done it my self but it looks like you can easily add a new keymap. Look at the file \windows\eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt. You can't replace that file but you can copy it and save it with a new name. Then go into the registry and find references to that file then change them to match the new file name.
Be prepared to hard reset your device if you screw up, you may loose functionality of your keyboard.

Thanks so much! Made life much easier!

I've tried that with no luck. Looks like the keyboard driver needs to support additional languages...

Mario: I'd recommend using a free desktop app called Mobile Registry Editor: http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
This lets you edit your phone's registry using your desktop PC. Replace each of those keys (23, 2A, 31, 32, 33 .. 39) in HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch\KeyboardMappings with the values found in the .reg file Merwin provided.

Does anyone else thing the matching is slower than in WM5?

few questions.. installing opera mini, and xt9

installed the kavana revamped with opera. Found the install opera icon in the extras folder.
I open it, it asks if I want to "Intsall Opera". I click ok, and nothing happens. So I tried going to the opera site and installing it from there. It worked great. Fast, and really an impressive program.
Problem is that once I closed it down it was nowhere to be found.
I had tweaked things around quite a bit, and changed some stuff up trying to get used to the kavana.
So i went ahead and did a "master reset". Figured I'd start fresh (on the second day" and ask for a little help.
I found a few threads concerning making opera the default browser, but none on the install.
oh yeah. on a side note. how do I turn off the xt9 predictive text? I hate it. I'm kinda old fashoned, I type everything out, periods, comma's, etc. lol wtf

Opera Mini will be under Java or Jbed? can't mem what in the ROM.
Turn off predictive in an input boix FN+Space choose ABC

What I did for Opera Mini was create a shortcut on my internet panels using chome configurator, so all I got to do is click on it from the panel to open java/jbed and I launch it from there.

"Yeah 2 many clouds in the sky tonight for me crappy anwhere dongle"
Wow got online place the .dll in the Windows Directory, Place the shortcut in Windows Start Menu, soft-reset phone

Thank You

Hi Xavier,
It can be changed as most of the manila files are cooked into rom. You need to ensure you remove read only protection on ur computor, edit using sql lite.... see this post...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4084829&post#9406

Guys, does anyone suffer the same problem I do with using new cities in the db?
I have Dutty's 3.9XT but suspect this is the same for all ROMS. I can add my local city without a problem using the weather database but then I cannot use it as my local time as the timezone is way out. This means that I have to use another original city with the consequence that it is this city's weather that is shown in my calender.
There must be a way to fix the timezone for any added cities given that those in the original db are correct. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Sandy,
Whilst you have added the city correctly, it sounds like you havent changed the timezone whilst adding the city. When using sql lite, look at your city entry and alter the timezone (period is in minutes) to 0 (it is probably set at something like 180 or what ever. Also make sure the msid code is set for 85 for UK.
Alter that and do the usual routine of applying the manila file, soft reset, and voila you should be able to apply it as you should.
Any problems, send tell me your city and i can alter it for you.

Thanks (and apologies for the duplicate post in Dutty's). I was actually asking how to do it in the weather database editor. Never tried SQL Lite. But will give it a go.
OK, tried SQLite and is obviously beyond my capabilities. How do I find my city entry in this? I am no db guy hence the fact that I thought that the weather app would handle this type of thing.

Many thanks for the offer to help but after a further search, I found SQLite Administrator and can now edit the db. Strangely enough, the timezone was correct but the msid was not.
Have successfully changed the settings in the db and my home town now indicates the correct timezone. I can now see the weather correctly in the calender. Many thanks again for your invaluable help on this matter.

Hi the easiest way is too turn off Manila(TouchFlo3D) in settings/today and after that start the editor and add your cities... Worked on my HD with Dutty´s HD WM6.5 R6 Turbo WWE

alright, thank you very much.
i have a feeling that if we learn how to use this, many amazing skins can be made for our excaliburs.

I have downloaded it...initially tried to use it to make a preliminary of my Horizon Skin (which i hope to release soon). I found that it isn't (for me atleast) worth the effort.
Maybe I am just a super-noob with it, but I found it confusing and hard to actually design panels. It didn't work by the basis of centering the main panel or putting the active panel at the top...it was more like the screen was all active panels and I would have to scroll to each one. I found it annoying, but that is my take.
If someone can figure out how to efficiently use this program, then i saw more power to them, and maybe i will try this program again.
A few notes:
-Always exit correctly, sometimes it gives an error the next time starting
-Be sure to put your Bronzeres.dll in the WINDOWS folder there (it'll add some images)
-You can replace the default background
-I think putting the cmhomeres.dll and cmhomeres.dll.0409.mui (or whatever the second is) adds some text too.
-Make a backup of your registry and put it in the windows folder, then load it (It'll enable the use of the DLL's)
Good luck! I hope to see some good progress

On your phone go to the start menu then to Accessories, and then click RESCO REGISTRY (that is where it is on my phone). Get to the point where you see only HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKEY_CURRENT_USER or something like that...it is the highest you can go. Select all of those and select "export registry" (DONT FORGET TO SELECT ALL OF THEM). I kno the program doesn't use all of it, but it is safer that way (in my opinion)

once you make a theme what do you do after that?
how do you get it to your phone?

Hmm...haha, I never got that far (didn't have the patience)
I would suppose there is a way on the FILE menu to save the CPR. Do so, then copy the CPR file to the Windows Folder on your folder.
Two notes:
1-The CPR file MUST be named (in this case for simplicity) titanium_320x240.cpr
2-BACKUP YOUR OLD ONE THAT IS ALREADY THERE!!!YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE THAT ONE!
Best of luck!
