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!!

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
Hi

Hope someone has a solution for it

Dear Forum,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond. Successfuly Flashed to: 1.93.407.1 GER
Everything works fine, just the 2 Softkys on home are phone for the left and programs for the right.
I have tried to change with different Programs, also in registry, but in registry there are no values for the keys. So I would have the contacts on the left and com manager on the right.
Anyone could help me please to change the remaps?
I have tried almost all, the search have shown me, but without success!
Please help

Try SSmaPA
I Installed the program, but have no idea, how to change the softkey settings... How this will work?

I think SSmaPA is not intended for that. I use it to remap the tabs of HTC Home Touch Flo (for example, i prefer to open IExplore instead of Opera, when licking on Browser tab)
To do waht you want search the forum for a thread named somithing like : "manila teaks" or similar
You have to work on registry: HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila ... and then writing what you want for HomeLSKPath, HomeLSKText, HomeRSKPath and HomeRSKText
You find it on that thread. Good luck
set the path to link to the comm and contacts shortcuts in your start menu. Device/Windows/Start menu/... something like that.

I want to remap my right softkey to "Programs". Its a long story but basically Im using the latest manila and installed some progs and now need to set the right softkey back to programs.
HD tweak wont do it, it only shows up ICS_Camera.
What I want to know is from anybody who has the right softkey showing as programs and is willing to tel me what the reg settings are under -
HKLM\Sofware\HTC\Manila - HomeRSKPath.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Only shows entries for allocating calendar and agenda. I need the specific wording so it takes me to the equivalent of the old manila programs tab which is now the new start menu with the Rhodium packages as my new start menu has disappeared (Long story).
Hi,
I'm really interested to add "Programs" tab to my TF3D. I try to add it with Advanced configuration Tool v3.3 in "More setting -> TouchFLO 3D" but every time get this error:
"An error occurred while loading TouchFlo 3D configuration"
Does anybody know how can I add it to my TF3D tab list?
thanks a lot.

Hi naderus
I was playing around today and found this out. If you go to:
[HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila]
There are lots of values in this key. The value you want is:
Manila://programs.page.hidden
Change this value from 1 to 0
You may also need to ensure the following DWORD value is 1:
[HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Configuration/11/Enable]
You should also see the following values in the same key:
PageName = Manila://programs.page
Title = [[IDS_PROGRAMS]]
I did this myself and the programs page did appear but it didn't work properly. It wouldn't scroll properly and I couldn't select any of the programs listed.
I didn't go any further as I prefer the new Start Menu so have no need of the programs tab.
I hope this helps you to get it working. Please share with the forum what you find out.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Thanks a lot Andrew,
Yes as you told it doesn't work properly for me too.
None of application can launch and scrolling the page is very slow.
I hope in near future this problem is solved.
Thanks again.
Can download the cab file here. This will enable your program tab, plus the normal WM startmenu.

not sure the version but it is working perfectly on my tp2
Thanks it works really great on version 3.0!!!
I prefer to press phisical start button on tp2... and have less tabs on manila... IMHO of course...
The only tab I really miss is under development... this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508102\
I managed to get the new tab show on my Diamond TF3D but it's called "my place". I can't seem to edit or add plugin to this page.

Good point, I was thinking about adding this tab in until I read this and realized I basically already had it, with a hard key to boot.
How can I change the shortcuts that appear on the TouchFlo 3D Settings tab?
Endless searching on xda-developers and I can't find it, except for hints that it's hidden in some Diamond cab files people have created.
I want to remove some infrequently used settings (eg. "Mail Setup") and add others (eg. Power).
I've seen threads on how to add/change the Programs shortcuts to do this, but not to change the actual Settings tab.
Thanks.
(Reposted from General Discussion Q&A forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550183&goto=newpost; realised this was a better forum as it may be Rhodium-/Manila-specific.)
Hmm you'd probably have to find the _manilla file that displays the settings tab and edit it. This may be a difficult task because there is a ton of _manilla files in the windows folder!
I have managed to remove Mail Setup by editing the registry
\HKCU\Software\Htc\Manila\
"IsShowEmailSetup" = 0
Thanks. Works nicely for that silly Email shortcut, but there are several others I'd like to kill (I really don't change my wallpaper, tabs, 'My Contact Card', or G-Sensor that much HTC!) and more I'd like to add in from the "All Settings" list.
It's a start though, appreciate the tweak.
i just decided to hide the settings tab altogether! totally a waste of space.
How did you hide the settings tab completely? I've been looking to try and do this. it is locked and not editable in my customize tabs. Also I've looked through the manila reg edit and still can't find a binary value that hides settings tab

Simple, install advanced config 3.3 and you can add or remove items from the settings tab.

is it possible to just do a reg edit of this. I hate installing programs I will only use for one purpose and uninstalling them.
in addition, to that ,advance config requires newer framenet which I don't want to install either. (also working off vista, which does not support activesync).
nevermind, I figured it out... but hiding the settings tab renders the whole thing unusable. I just wanted to hide the tab, but not hide the functionality (through start menu).
for those who want to know its as follows:
HKCU\software\htc\manila\
"Manila://settings.page.hidden" = 1
Hello guys,
After a long search on the web I can't find the answer to "How to create a control panel shortcut on Windows Mobile".
Out of the box, our Rhodium are packaged with a "Settings" shortcut in the start menu which links to the Settings tab of Manilla. I find this annoying, if i want to go to the manilla settings, i use manilla not the start menu.
So I want a direct link to Windows' control panel. I've seen many ways to link to a specific applet, but not the whole control panel.
Anyone can help ?
PS : Also I'm looking for the HTCSettings.exe file stored in every Rhodium (WM6.5 version)... I've accidentally deleted it :/
Thanks !
I am not sure I understand the question, but I think what you want is to be running TouchFLO instead of Windows Default.. If that is correct, the solution is simple. Click Start>Settings>ToDay>Items>TouchFLO 3D>OK>X and you should have it. What you want is to be running TouchFLO instead of Windows Default.
Hope that helps.
what he is saying is that he wants to got to the control panel or "settings" from the start menu, when you hit start and then settings it takes you to manilla settings
What annoys me is that the Bluetooth and Today screen prefs are ONLY available through the Windows CPL, things like QuickMenu don't see them..
You got is cs400, that's what I'm looking for.
Someone can send me the original HTC Settings.exe (Located in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs) ?
Okay guys, I figured out how to solve this problem by hanging around in the registry !
How to change the "Settings" icon in the Start Menu to make it open WM's Control Panel rather than Manilla's settings panel ?
- First go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and remove (or move) the file HTC Settings.exe
- Then go to the registry \HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo and change the value HideSettings from 1 to 0
- Reboot your device, it's done !
I am trying to change the 'Settings' button in the Start Menu to open the WM Control Panel instead of the Manila settings, however, the \HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo key does not exist in my registry. Is there another way to link to the Control Panel? Thanks!
WM control panel shortcut
I would appreciate anyone telling me how to make a shortcut that links to the WM Control Panel.
Thanks!

Thank-you a million times! Just installed something that crashed my HTC Sense, and couldn't for the life of me work out how to get to Remove Programs so I could un-install it! I now have my phone back, without having to go down the hard-reset route which I'd feared was my only option.
you could do as htc intended and clicked "all settings" on the settings tab for those manila doesnt cover.
Which would have worked brilliantly....had I been able to get to the settings tab in the first place.
With Sense freezing, I had to run the 'change my background' option from 'Getting Started' to get into the Today options and disable Sense. Then use the tips in this thread to get the Settings folder back on my Start Menu. Normally I would have used the All Settings option, but couldn't in this case, and it's funny how much you don't realise is missing from a start menu....until you need it!
