Her are some options:
If you are using the stock VZ homepage you should be able to just go into PI8 and have it be the default calendar app.
If you are using a custom rom with M2D. This is what I did and it works great.
1. Using TotalCommander (Not file explorer) copy the .exe file for PI8 to the /Windows folder.
2. Rename this exe file to Calendar.exe. This will replace the existing calendar.exe file with the one from PI8. (Before you do this you might want to copy the previous calendar.exe file to another folder in case you ever want to use it again)

Open PI8, and change the setting to make it the default calendar app.

I had the same problem but I created this registry entry and I cooked it in to all of my roms
but here the reg file. Just import it into your phone registry. You will need to install resco explorer and the registry extension (the trial will do fine) in order to import anything into the wm registry.
Good Luck

edit the file (112.txt ---->>>112.reg)

Cannot add contacts in Manilla 2D

Hi guys,
Yesterday I installed Manilla 2D, update 19a on my Artemis. My OS is the original HTC WM 6. I don't have anything else installed (reset the storage before installing M2D). It seems that some of the tabs in M2D do not respond on tapping. For example, I cannot add contacts in the Contacts tab (I have contacts in my list, though). The same is with the programs, weather and options tabs. The SMS, music and email tabs are working as expected.
I was unable to find posts with similar problem, so I suppose that I am doing something wrong. Can anyone help? Should I post this question in D&H?
Thank you in advance,
Val
there are some dll missing in your windows folder...try another cab.

Passwording SMS Folder in TF3D

Afternoon,
I'm looking for a (preferably freeware) application that password protects SMS (and perhaps email) folders on the HD whilst using the TF3D interface.
I'm using Dutty's 1.8 ROM and like the TF3D interface (esp the calendar) so don't really want to go to the standard WM6.1 GUI, although I know there are programs that enable this feature if you choose to use this interface.
Is anyone able to offer any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.
No joy then!
have a look on this post...
don't know if it's what you want.

Ok
Thanks.
What i've done is removed the "SMS" and "Mail" tabs from TF3D
This means that you use the exact same SMS setup as if TF3d is disabled.
What would be good would be if it was possible to make the "SMS" tab link directly to the account selection page, meaning there was no message preview envelope, as even with Eye on Privacy installed, you can still read messages in TF3d, with a password prompt only occurring when you enter the windows messaging bit.

Making a stock ROM livable

I've been living with the AT&T Tilt 2 stock rom for awhile now and have gotten it tweaked to the point where it works well and does what i want it to do. I'm just setting this thread up to share what i've got installed and what mods/tweaks are working for me. I'll be adding to them as i go along because i'm constantly fiddling with and tweaking my phone. I've gotten most of the applications i use from right here on xda-devs, and a quick search should pull em up. So without further ado here they are:
Tilt 2 Tweaks
Changing TF3D Search Provider:
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
dword=InternetSearchUrl
Change to=http://www.google.com/m/search/?q=%s
Or=http://
Camera Tweaks:
going in to each one and making sure that the key "Enable" is set to "1"
Burst
Mobile Device\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P6
Sports
Mobile Device\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P8
Video Share
Mobile Device\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P9
Change what it says on slider in lockscreen:
Under lockscreen in windows folder
In Ls_LockScene_480x800.cpr (adapt to your resolution) :
<Text ID="SlideToUnlock" Top="90" Width="480" Height="34" FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="9" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Middle" InnerTextType="Resource" Text="shellresapps.dll,18149">
Replace "Resource" by "Literal" and Text="shellresapps.dll,18150" by Text="Slide me if you dare !" (or whatever you want to be displayed here) !
Same for the "TapOrSlide" section
Changing color of clocks in TF3D:
If you use the manila editor you can open and export the manila images as .png graphic files.
Export using save as, then open the .png in an image editor (eg photoshop) and make your changes. (or edit the red .png number files I posted above)
Adjusting hue/saturation is a quick way for novices to swap colours.
Save as .png, then replace the image in the manila editor.
Copy the _manila files that you changed to /windows
Title Bar Clock:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1
"TBOpt"=1
you may need to create a new DWORD value for "TBOpt"
Opera in Task Manager:
Go to: HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
There delete Opera9.exe (now it will show in the task manager)
To close opera by pressing the X-button instead of minimizing it follow these steps:
Go to: HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess
There, create a DWORD with the name Opera9.exe value "1"
To enable/disable web page optimization for mobile browsers in google and bing go to mobile site while in browser and click settings, then select/deselect option.
Disabling Push Internet:
"HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\InternetPush\EnablePushI nternet" value="0"
"HKLM\Software\HTC\PushInternetEngine\Enable" value="0"
"HKLM\Services\PushInternetEngine\Flags" value="4"-----This Last D-word must be created
Best Mobile Web Sites:
m.mobile9.com
HD2 Tweaks that work for Rhodium:
Improve Suggested T9 Dictionary With Custom Words
The Leo has a very useful hidden application in the Windows directory. You need to unhide hidden system and Rom files in order to find it. Find the file "eT9MyWords.exe" in the Windows directory and add a shortcut to this file in your Windows/Start Menu folder. (this might be worth it, not sure running some tests on it. Make sure u don't do what i do and copy xt9 on accident, bad things happen )
Enable LED Notification Setting in Sound and Notifications
If you want your LED to flash when you have a new message, missed call or voicemail.. well you can't as it is greyed out. However the following registry entries can be modified to enable them or use the cab at end of post. Reset after changes. Notifcation for Email sadly does not work
New Message:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"AvailableOptions"=dword: change to 15
Missed Call:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D660-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"AvailableOptions"=dword: change to 15
Voice Mail:

Real Exit for HTc Album
By defualt, when you click on the ok/X button in HTC Album, the app minimizes and does not exit. Make the following change to really exit the app and thus save some program memory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbumv"ok_minim ize" = dword:0
How to Enable More Than 1 Hotmail Account in Email Tab
By default you can only check one hotmail account at a time. Here is how to enable more hotmail accounts.
1. Create a new email account.
2. In the email field write your email but replace the "@hotmail.com" with "@hotmail.con", this way the OS is not going to load Windows live messenger to sync your email.
3. Disable the option "Try to get e-mail settings..."
4. Select the email provider, in this case, Internet e-mail.
5. Complete the name and account display name
6. Incoming server: "pop3.live.com:995". Account type: POP3
7. Complete the form with your username and password. Note: the username is your full email address: "[email protected]" and not "yourusername".
8. Outgoing mail server: "smtp.live.com:25". Check the "outgoing server requires au...". Click on Advanced settings and check the "Require SSL..." for incoming ant outgoing e-mail.
9. Complete the rest of the setup.
10. Now, go to your email account and go to Tools > Options, once there, click on the email account you just created and click on "Edit account setup." NOTE: It might make you wait until it syncs 1 time.
11. Replace the "@hotmail.con" with the right one "@hotmail.com" and hit next 'till the end of the setup, and done.
Speed Up Music Album Loading on Reboot
After a reboot and you scroll to Music Tab, you have to wait quite a while for all the music files to be loaded. Now you can speed this up by making it load as soon as the phone starts and before reaching the tab. Go to your Windows folder and find the file "AudioManager_Eng.exe" Create a shortcut (.lnk file) of this file and put it in your Windows\StartUp folder. (Not sure if this is working or not, anybody have any experience with it?)

Renaming Android Start Screen Folders:
I wanted on my desktop. menu >> add >> folders. To rename them just open them and do a long press on the folder name. After that just drag and drop, I have found it is quicker to just open a folder instead of trying to navigate to different pages.

Messaging App Disappeared

I've searched and searched and cannot find anyone with a similar problem.
My MS Messaging App has disappeared. If I go to Start, All Programs, there is no app called "Messaging." I'm pretty sure it was there before as I think I used it to set up custom signatures in two of my email accounts. I think this missing app is also the one that allows me to save e-mail attachments on my SD card. Everything else is working fine except I cannot change my signatures, nor can I delete an email account. I still have a program called "E-mail," which takes me to the in box of an email program. I still have an app called "Mail Setup," which allows me to 'choose a mail provider' to set up a new email account. But I no longer have a program called "Messaging." I have a subdirectory called "Messaging" in the "Windows" folder, but no executables in this folder or anywhere else I can think of, certainly not in Windows/Start Menu.
I've only done a few tweaks and added a few programs to my Verizon TP2. I did some reg edits to unlock and remove some of the locked icons/programs (Contacts, Calendar, Settings) in the Manila Start Menu (since I'm using these tabs don't need them on the Start/Programs menu. Also installed Slingbox mobile, Google Maps/Search, youtubeplay, PHM reg editor, and I think that's about it. Email and everything else works fine. Am I losing my mind or shouldn't there be a "Messaging" app?
i have a "Messaging" and its basicly the account picker, is that what your looking for?
If i click on its properties its shortcut is pointing to
Code:
":MSINBOX" ?"\Windows\MPI_ProgramIcons.dll,-123
Try duplicating a shortcut from \windows\start menu\programs and editing its shortcut to that. But your icon might be different since i'm on a custom rom where the chef might have edited his dll's

Thanks for your response. Near as I can tell (from File Explorer), I do not have a file entitled anything like "Windows\MPI_ProgramIcons.dll,-123". Just as well, I guess, 'cause I'm also not sure how I would edit a shortcut of another file. I'm no programmer, just a bit of a hack trying to customize my phone a little bit.
