Settings change from WM5 to WM6

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...

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 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

[Q]Shortcut to windows Settings?

I've search up and down the forum and googling, all I see is people asking the same question over and over again, but there are no answers to it.
How can I create a shortcut to the settings page generally? not to any specific features! I'm using the new manila and would like to place a shortcut to the settings browser at the new start menu. I know how to edit a custom shortcut but what's the link to it? any body have any idea? It's the same link as we click on the 'All Settings' softkey when we go to settings tab.

This mite help Its not vga but it works for me.
just unzip
put the settings.exe on your ppc
and create a shortcut to it
let me now if it works for you

it works perfect! thanks! 1 thing is that it's vga so the fonts are bigger than usual.. but at least it does the job for now! how can i get a wvga version of this?

glad I could help
If you find a wvga one let me know

This is what I have on Dutty's ROM for Settings from Programs:
Registry entry HCLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3
Command: STRING: --switchtopage Manila://settings.page
DispName: STRING: Settings
IconPath: STRING: \windows\HTC\Assets\Images\programlauncher\Program_icon\settings_88.qtc
Path: STRING: \Windows\manila.exe
I guess you can try to remove settings for VGA and setup this registry. You can choose any free position, in my case it's 3 for the first icon in second row.

No this is not I want, I had this on Dutty's rom too. But I can always get there using the touchflo slider. What I want is straight to the settings browser of windows where you got the 'Personal', 'System', 'Connection' tabs at the bottom. Thanks for helping though.

Is there a WVGA version of settings.exe?
VGA is good but not very beautiful...
Thanks.

up, is anybody have the settings.exe for wvga?

up, please, seems that dutty had this settings.exe for wvga

I'm also searching for a solution, i like the new start menu but it's very annoying not to have a direct link to the windows settings. Why do we need a settings.exe ?? I mean if go to the settings tab the left button "All Settings" points to the windows settings, there should be a registry entry or something.

Nobody has a solution for this?

sure there's a solution, for exemple dutty use it in his roms but it seems nobody show interest in this topic.....

PUH-LEEEEEEEEEZ!!
If someone know a solution please tell us!!

that shorcut goes to manila setting tab not windows setting

But on the Manila Settings tab, the left softkey goes to the Windows setting. So there have to be some kind of shortcut or registry entry behind it.

Deleted .

there is a program called "sk shortcut manager" you can use it to create shortcuts to any settings item, the program is not free but you can use the trial period to create and save all your shortcuts, google it you'll find it

here is a download link http://trials2.pocketgear.com/downloadi.asp?product_id=21828

[App Req] Titanium Plugin to host traditional today plugin

Is there anyone know how to develop a Titanium Plugin which can host Traditional Today Plugin?
cheers.

i'd like that too

Hey its a good idea!

is there any developer can help?

Great idea.
But i am using the tripod method from one of the threads on ppcgeeks.
I have windows titanium as default plugin and tf3d2 on detacher mapped to left soft key which takes me to touchflo. And there i have left soft key to take me back to titanium and right key for second today. So i just keep going back and forth as i need too.
If anybody is interested then i will post the files and steps for setting it up.

1. Disable all plugins from the today settings
2. Install second today cab
3. TFDetacher cab
4. Soft reset and enable titanium from the today settings
5. Right soft key for clock plugin will be directed to tf3detacher. Clicking it will take you to tf3d2 back and forth. You can set the left and right key combination for both windows and tf3d under tf3detacher.
One thing what i have noticed is that if you map the left windows key to tf3d2 it wont retain after a SR, that option can only be setup using Showaco CHome Editor. Let me know if you want that setup too.
Credit goes for this goes to the guy over PPCGeeks. Enjoy.

In that case you just install the secondtoday and have all your today plugins showing in second today screen. It works that way too.

there is MTP already, which is better than second today in my opinion. MTD can host any Today Plugin in a new Tab page in Manila.
see here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508102)
What i suggest is to port MTD to Titanium. Is there anyone know how to do?
cheers.

Yes please really good to have this, any one has this already please?

Any news about this very good idea ?

I guess no movement here.. I still use SPB Pocket Plus because I don't want to give up my various (now legacy) Today screen plugins, but I'd like to check out Titanium. TF3D is cute but not very useful beyond that IMO...

[Q] Modifying Buttons

Hi,
I'm using the HTC Sense.
In the "Home" tab there are 2 buttons - "Phone" (left) and "Menu" (right)
Is there a way to modify these buttons?
I've just started using ThumbCal and I want the left one to assign to it.
Thanks.

Settings+
to change the softkeys try Settings+ by Samuel Tee

Thanks for your answers.
fighter7139,
I've read the thread, I didn't manage to get to the "yes, use advanced config - push on menu - more settings - key mapping".
I have Tom Photon ROM.
and I don't understand enough to mess with the reg file..
xda-kungfu,
I've installed the Setting+, and changed the left soft key.
I rebooted twice - but it didn't change.
Are you sure it suppose to work on the HTC sense too?
Thanks again.

I tried also BSB tweaks..
Shaked my HD mini.. But it didn't change..

So why don't you use ACT:

Thanks!
ACT works great!!

Menu - more settings - key mapping
It's already written.

SORRY, I didn't read it. By the way, I can't assign the right soft key to the camera. Anybody has the same problem?

It's better to set camera on left softkey.

Hi,
I installed ACT and I have no problems with the left softkey but when you assign an application to the right softkey, it appears at the beginning but as you move through the Sense, again seems the Menu right softkey
"It happens to someone else? How do you solve?
Thanks in advance

Try to set it through registry.
HKLM\\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeRSKPath
HKLM\\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeRSKText

Thanks for the reply.
This registry keys says the same I put on ACT but only works at startup Sense. When you move slider "Menu" returns

Disable sense, make a soft reset and enable it again.

There's no way, man.
I did what you say and when I enable Sense again, "Menu" reappeared.
Without Sense it works fine. HTC HD Mini. Version Manila 2.5.20131825.3
Thanks anyway

I don't know something else, but many people say not to mess with right softkey.

Use BSB Tweaks 1.6 to change the left soft key of Sense.
You mentioned it didn't work for you. But do try it again. Sometimes you need to shake a bit more to register a response.
It worked for my HD mini. Worked everytime.
Do try it again.

I found on htcpedia how to change right softkey MENU on HTC HD Mini
The first thing to do is set the Resco Explorer to show hidden files and ROM.
Get the file inside the ZIP that I let you down and copy it to the Windows folder overwriting the existing. Windows warns that it will replace an important file. Just in case I have made a backup before overwriting the original.
You open the Advance Config Tool or SKTools and assign the role you want to replace the SoftKey Menu and Reset.
bye and thanks all for your replies.
