I knew I can't count on you my friend, here it goes:
On a BJII you can press the home key and it will bring up a Task Manager and I'd like to switch that launch to CeleTask. Speaking to NRG earlier today, he had told me to create a file named "Long_Home.Ink" and point it towards CeleTask.
What I did:
I created a shortcut with Resco Explorer 07 of the CeleTask.exe and renamed it Long_Home.Ink and put in the directory Windows\ and then rebooted but nothing happened. I'm totally perplexed as to where is this file or registry to make the change, I figured it can't be that difficult but the solution has evaded me for the better part of the day.
Before aforementioned I was not able to find the native Long_Home.Ink file if it existed either

Dude, that is not Long_Home.Ink, THERE IS NO "I" IN THE NAME. THAT IS A SMALL "L", YOU KNOW, LIKE SHORT FOR "LINK", JUST WITHOUT THE "I".
Geez, do some research, you have so many useless posts.

would creating a "Long" version of each link for the buttons be feesible to have pressing a button do one thing, and holding a button do another?
like having a short_msg.lnk and a long_msg.lnk???

I have 12 contacts on my Cphotodialer. I wanted to know how you could add more. Say what if you wanted 30 or 40.... Would you just make a new registry entry and that's it. Know cpr or xml change? Just wondering. Think it would be nice to have some more.
Just registry entries. Add more pages, under hklm/security/chome/defaultsettings/cphotodialer and hklm/software/microsoft/chome/photodialer ....
I tried to just copy the lnk file for contact 12 and paste it into a different directory so that I could change what it said and then rename it to contact13, but after I do that. Nothing happened in my panel. I updated the registry in both places with a page 13 exactly as the other contacts are in the panel. I want to know what I am doing wrong. If I have to create a new contact13h.lnk and contact13m.lnk files, how do you create a lnk file? thanks for all the help
did you change pages at the bottom of hklm/security/chome/defaultsettings/cphotodialer it looks like
Pages Page1,Page2,Page3,Page4,Page5,Page6,Page7,Page8
I am looking for upwards of 20-25. I know that seems like a lot, but I like to have options. I just wish I knew what to do to make them myself. I don't want to have to depend on you guys to the hard work like some people do. I am just thankful to have the knowledge guys.

you do realize it will be quicker just typing in the first 3 four letters of any part of the name and the contact will show up. from home screen.
Yeah, but I still would like the option to choose. Plus, like I said it's nice to have the knowledge. "He who hath knowledge, hath power."

Thanks a million bro!! This totally did the trick. I feel so stupid for not noticing this on my own. Guess cause I've been going light speed for too long. Anyway, works perfect. Rock on ROM master.
I am posting a zip that contains some of the pngs I use for my screen. In it contains a new image for the iconbar bluetooth.
Try them out. Just rename them for what you are replacing, or edit your registry to accomodate for your new pics. If you have any questions, please post them. (and No, I won't make a cab, because I am still not 100% on how to do it, but if someone knows how and wants to share the knowledge, let me know, I'm no dummy, I can learn quick, or make the cab yourself.)
Anyways, here they are.

These look good. My main concern is the Bluetooth icon. Which reg key should I edit to use the new one (for the Rinku Iconbar)?
I just copied this one over the original. I already have it name the same. I kept a copy of the original on my pc, just in case....

Yeah...but what's the registry address??? (ex. HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome)
I looked around earlier for that. I couldn't find it. I'm sure it's there, but I didn't want to spend the time going through every single reg entry until I found it.
As it stands right now, there is NO need to change you reg entry. Just take the bluetooth pic and rename it to whatever your CHome iconbar pic is called. Mine should be the same as yours, I'd imagine. It's:
CHome_Iconbar_Bluetooth.png
Just drop this pic into your \Windows folder on your smartphone and reboot it. You'll see the updated picture. No need to edit the registry.

Alright I have loaded ROM's onto my phone but I am still pretty new to this, I am wondering if anyone can take the time to walk me through of how to get Home Screen's like these (the first one and the red one on PG1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378000
Thank you very much for any help you are willing to give.
P.S. what ever help I get I will be more then happy to give to other begginner's.
The big clock is called HTC Home and that's fairly easy to find, just make a simple search for it. The tray on the bottom looks like PHM Trays which you can get from PHM Tools.

Did you bother reading the thread or are you the type to look at pics and ask for help, right off the bat?
Actually I did take the time to read a lot of the post's but as I said in my first post I am pretty new to this stuff and a lot of the talk was quite confusing to me because of the short form's and such so program's and stuff like that.
Like I said before, I am just looking to see if some one has the time to help me, not looking for people to chirp about how new I am and such. Thank you.

Alright so I have read the first like 11 pages and no where in there have I found how to get those 2 Home Screen's running on my Dash?
Please help
As for the Red Carousel theme....go here.
Download the needed cabs in the bottom of his first post and read his install instructions.
As for the HTC home, if you READ where to get it from its in his first thread also...
- HTC Home
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/3306160
Download that cab.
Once you've downloaded the cabs...you transfer them to your phone using Active sync. Place them in your documents folder. Using your phone Resco Explorer program direct yourself to the My Documents folder and click on the cabs to install them.
If asked where to install them, pick Main memory (phone itself) not the memory card.
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
After the cabs are installed. REBOOT.
Once rebooted, Click on start->settings->Home Screen->Home screen layout
Once there, choose which home screen...you'd like to have.
Done
Thank you for the help, I have one question though, I downloaded the courosel theme and unzipped it to a folder and then I copied to my from through My Computer (I'm not sure if that matter's?) but when I selected the Courosel theme in Home Screen, the text messages and voicemail stuff look's all messed up? Is that because I unzipped the file?
Another question came up....
I dled the LCD clock and unzipped it, copied the folder to my phone and then went to Resco Explorer and clicked the Setup.xml and it did a bunch of stuff, I thought it installed but then when I rebooted my phone nothing happened?
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
Jesus man
the lcd plugin is a CAB
If you need help anymore this member (Gixxum) is the man to go to.
Alright thank you very much, I didn't realize that that was a cab file since I have never worked with a cab before.
I installed the cab. and got a message saying that I may need an older version of WM?
I then rebooted and the LCD clock was not there?
I couldnt edit again so I has to do another post, the problem I was having was just that I didn't go to the background image and change it to courosol.
thank you.

No matter how big or what colors we use people seriously have selective reading. lol
actually I read that a few times but I was not sure what a cab file was.
Funny how much you care about the mistakes I made instead of helping haha.
Thanks everyone.
alright I have one more question and I thought I would post it here instead of opening another thread. When I am using txt messaging and I sent a txt (I will use this as an example) at 8:01 PM and some one sends me a txt back in the same minute it will say that they replyed at 7:01 PM. It always says one hour earlier for replys? I have searched through options but I cannot seem to find where to change it?
Thank you ahead of time.
Are you sure your time is right? Go to settings --clock & alarm-- and scroll to where on earth you are. Do a reset try that.
I checked the times man and NOTHING! this is kind of brutal, it's not like it's a huge problem but it's just ******* frustrating, any ideas guys?
Whats the time difference on the clock?

If you can't find something another good place to try is http://search.4shared.com/network/search.jsp as most members store there files there.
Ok. Hopefully this helps anyone else in my position.
I was trying to copy & paste my wep key for the connection setup. Every time I opened it (.txt) I assume Word opened the file by default. Even after installing Vtio, nothing happened. I could not get copy and paste options in the menu. For the hell of it, I opened Notepad, then opened the file from there. Once I figured out that "mark" was the "select text" option, it was seamless. Apparently Vito doesn't work with Word? Who knew?
Thanks for the help. If there is a way to copy & paste in Word, and I'm just missing it, please post up. Now that I have this resolved, I will be playing with the Excalibur more. The Kaiser certainly has more features, but I can text twice as fast from the Excalibur keyboard, and it's smaller/lighter. I'm sure I'll have more newb questions as I play more with the Ex.
Hey all,
Asking for help AGAIN!!!
I installed the windows mobile 6.5 update yesterday evening.
All in all i think it's fantastic, still falls behind some OS's but its a great update.
I have a couple of questions thought, and i'm hoping that someone can help.
the first one, i hope is just me not seing something.
on the start screen (after hitting the windows key) i think the new display is great, but i can find a way to move them about and personalise it so the prograns i want are where i want them. how do i do this?
the second is a little more complicated i think. I recently bought g-alarm(which i love) but to register it, you need an owner name on the phone's system.
I cant findwhere to change the owner name on WM6.5, i can change the device name easy. but i cant find the owner name anywhere.
any enlightenment would be great.
Thanks guys
TM411
I assume you mean the honeycomb start menu. In order to change them or move them around you need to tap and hold on the icons.
To set owner name is Start/settings/personal/owner information
Press and Hold the icons to move them.
Try this CAB to enable the owner info, just install and reset.
Is there a way to add/remove Icons from the start menu?
Thanks Guys
I did try the hold and move, but the only option i get is to move to top.
is this right?
the owner information button isn't in the personal setings section.
Hmmmm
what have HTCdone?
i downloaded the official upgrade from the site, surely they didnt remove important things from it?
thanks for the cab,
i shall try it later
Saying that.....
I wouldn't mind knowing if i can delete stuff from the start screen.
Not sure i need the "Getting started"
lol

Try the CAB. The fact that it's missing is a bug . See the main "Official 6.5" thread in ROM Dev.

You can drag stuff about the start menu by pressing and holding, removing stuff and adding folders is the same a Windows PC. use File Explorer to goto \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

Dave, thanks for that. I didn't realise it was quite as simple.
The icons also move about as they should with a press and hold.

You sort of can. Here's what you need to do.
1. Go into the "\windows\start menu\programs" directory.
2. Create a folder. Cut & Paste all the shortcuts you deem unnecessary into that folder.
3. Go into the properties screen of that folder and toggle on the "Hidden" setting.
4. Soft-reset.
I've yet to find out how I can get rid of "HTC Calendar.lnk" and "HTC People.lnk". They disappear if I disable HTC Sense (ie, TF3D, Manila, etc). But they keep coming back if HTC Sense is enabled. I've tried deleting the shortcuts but they just regenerate after each soft-reset or if I disable and then re-enable HTC Sense.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
You guys are awesome
The cab worked a treat.
The start menu i shall play with later.
Thank for the help

Same for me. Sometimes I get an additional choice of 'Move Down' !! What's happening? Mine is the ATT Tilt2 4 days old . . .
I am also curious how some people are able to hold and drag. It was my understanding from reading various WM6.5 reviews that it is not possible.
For the rest of us mere mortals, I recommend JWMD Icon Changer for reordering the start menu. It has worked well for me. One thing to keep in mind though: it will not reorder any icons you've marked as "Favorite" which means when you right click and select Move To Top. If you want to be able to sort them, you'll have to un-favorite them by selecting Move Down.
