How Can I change the Color of the Comm Manager Screen. I don't like the default Green color and I try everything to change it but without succeed.
Thanks for your help
Wow... pointless feat.
also i would like to know it
i tryed using Resource Hacker
i opened the file CommManagerRes.dll
i exported all the bitmaps to my pc
i virated them to the blue color (see the attached file)
i imported all the new bitmap files to the dll, replacind the older one
i saved the dll into another file
So now i have the original.dll and the modified.dll
the problem is that when i copy the dll file to the device\window folder
and i restart the phone, the command manager don't open
if i replace the modified.dll with the original.dll, the command manger works correctly.
any suggestion how to have blue icon and background in command manager, instead of the green ones ?
thanks in advantage

Not sure if it will help or not but this is from my t-mobile dash. Its the commmanger.exe and dll. i have the blue one.
nice the bitmaps, but i have some problem with this versione.
In particular, when i go on comm mamager, i have the setting button....
before changing i had two menu, wlan setting, and blutooth seeting.
now i've only wlan settin, wich instead opening wlan, opens blutooth...
so, it's better to restore my file..
anyone can tell me how to solve my problem with replacing bitmaps via Resource Hacker ?
thanks
maybe (i read somewhere in thios forum) it's for the certified signin ???
wath can i do now.....
if someone can adjust the file for me, i attach them here ...
it' comm manager ITA
thanks
Hi,
I was wondering if there were any updates to this issue?
I too would like to have a different background in my comm manager after upgrading to wm6 (the green doesn't go with my theme )
TIA
I'm using Dutty's 2.3 Xtreme ROM. The startmenu is based on the Rhodium roms (looks like the program tab, but with nicer icons ). However, the good-looking icons are only those that came with the rom, for example WMPlayer, settings, file explorer, etc. When you add a shortcut from lets say TomTom, it looks all crap with jagged edges. It's seems the iconholder upscales the icon or something so it's no longer at it's native resolution. I would like to be able to change the icon used for a certain shortcut myself to perhaps a higher resolution alternative.
It seems the used icon is controlled bij strings in HKLM\software\HTC\Manila. The string's name is the .exe used in the shortcut. It contains a file location to \windows\MPI_xxx.qct (\windows\MPI_wmplayer.qct, \windows\MPI_camera.qct, etc.). I know this, because when I change the path in lets say the wmplayer.exe string to that of the file explorer MPI file, the icon changes in the start menu. However, when I make a new string with a stringname for tomtom (tomtom navigator.exe) and make it's value the same as the fileexplorer, nothing happens...
So... help? I don't know what to try next due to my limited knowledge on the subject. Who can help me devise a way to use custom icons in the new startmenu?
You have to use the full path, not just the file name. Also, you have to use quotes.
For example: I wanted Resco File Explorer to use HTC's explorer icon, so I created a new string with the name:
"\Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe" (quotes included)
And value:
\windows\MPI_fexplorer.qtc (no quotes here)

Yes... Thanks! Can I use it in WM 6.5? Just want to know because I dont want to do a hard reset when I fail.
I change my program icon directly in the program.exe file. this way both from startmenu and programs show the new icons. use resource hack to do it. you can also hack into the installation cab and change it there. so every time you change rom and reinstall, the new icon is there. just my way......need helpon that you can pm me

Here's a new panel for testing. I added a mortscript to handle the import of your bookmarks from opera 9.5. I don't know if it works with all versions of opera or not. The script reads the opera6.adr file located in \Windows\Opera9 folder to get bookmark list. It launches links by calling on opera at \Windows\OperaL.exe. Test it out, and I can add more features if it works.

Changed:
v.2

Install:
REQUIRES MORTSCRIPT, if you have titaniumweather installed, then you are already good to go.
1. Install cab file
2. Add it to your plugin list in the registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\ExtensibilityXML (Add Opera to the list, place it in the order you want it to display. In the pic below Screen011.jpg I placed it between email and appointments in the registry -> CEmail;Opera;CAppointments; )

Thank you It works great!
i like your black wallpaper, could you post it ?
Sure, http://www.swampthing.net
Under Wallpapers 480x800 page 1
Does the launcher item has to be in the titanium menu all the time? Or can it be removed after the install?
If its used for the options etc., maybe it is possible to make a link to it out of the programs folder.
You can change the order of the menu items or remove it altogether, instructions in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3504536&postcount=133
And yes you can run the options from /Program Files/TitaniumWeather/
Very nice work bro....many many thanks from the Greece
btw, is there a way to change the font of the text in titanium?
Sure, just edit the titanium_480x800.cpr and titanium_800x480.cpr files, open with notepad.
and then, should i replace in every line the name "tahoma" with the name of the font i want and thats in the windows folder? and do you know were can i find more fonts to put in the windowss folder?
Yep, just look on your pc, in the /Windows/Fonts/ folder, should work
Also to change/add/remove links in the menu you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393104
It is made for smartphones, but seems to work for the clinks.

I can't seem to get the setup to launch from the panel. No matter where I click there is nothing there.....anyone else having this issue? I've soft reset twice now.
You get 2 new panels right? 1 above the clock, and one below calender called launcher.
Click on launcher, and the text changes to press to update weather panel. Also your right soft key changes to setup when you clicked on the launcher panel, click that. That's the settings.
Sorry I know I'm missing something here...
How do I disable Titanium? I went to homescreen settings and took the tic out of Windows Default.
then when copying the files into windows directory got "you do not have permission"
sorry
Nice work!
One problem on my HD
I am in china,and I am using Miri's Windows Mobile 6.5 21193, If my HD region is set as orginal English,the weather addon works great!,but if I change the region to china ,when update the weather,there will be a error report(see attachment)
How can I to solve the problem？

Changelog:

- the titanium plugin changed from 3.a to 3.b (Temperature units Option Fix, minor cosmetic change).
- choose between standard & manila-style (link below)
- in the meanwhile the 320x320cpr-file is finalized to fit better in 96dpi
- added Needfull-Things4w6.5
15.04.2009:
- added Germanization (for the german community)
- updated Needfull-Things4w6.5 (WEB-links)
- added 2be?olved
update (!!!new!!!):
The weather-bug is solved!!! Now every i780-user could use weather information in the "windows-default"/"Titanium" plugin in. Remember, it only works with wm6.5. The problem was the resolution in the used cpr-file. i modified the Titanium_320x320.cpr and now the weather plugin runs!
Just follow the steps, and you will have a really nice weather plugin in the standard wm6.5 today panel:
1. flash a wm6.5 rom on your i780
2. be sure to be able to use wifi or grps, because the weather plugin needs data from the net
3. Disable Titanium (windows default plugin) in Settings -> Today -> Items
3. Install Showaco's Titanium Weather - QVGA Version - by mnemonique v3.a (link below)
4. overwrite the existing Titanium_320x320.cpr (\windows) with my modified file (link below)
5. soft reset the device.
6. enable the Titanium
7. Scroll up to titanium weather v3 in Today's Panel and on the panel to start Setup or
8. Select/Click Setup in right soft key.
9. Highlight 3) Configure Forecast Options/Setup, Click OK
10. Configure Zip or Location Code | Temperature Units
info: find your location code in the txt-file below, f.e.:
City Name = "Bremen, DE" Location = "EUR|DE|GM005|BREMEN" Country = "Germany"
then the location code to be entered is: EUR|DE|GM005|BREMEN
11. after you've configure the settings, Select Cancel in right soft key to display Main Menu
12. Highlight 2) Run Full Update and exit
have fun, regards dennito
2be?olved:
Here i´ll place community questions about the Titanium-Plugin (especially i780 related), which you post me and couldn´t be answered yet - may be you know the solution? I´ll post the solution and the publisher name after you post me the answer via PM.
1. everytime i got a voicemail-notification (via sms from my mailbox), the voicemail-panel doesn´t show anything, still "no new voicemails", what to do? (asked by dennito)
Hint-list:
1. Wrong picture-Path:
there is no registry part editable but a very simple way to make your pictures on the storage card visible in the today panel.
solution: just rename your existing folder on the storagecard where the fotos are in f.e.: from "my pictures" to "pictures" - or create a new folder "pictures" on the storage card and put your picture files in there. that´s all - now all your photos will be shown in the today panel - have fun!
Needfull-Things4W6.5:
I think it´s time to expand this thread, i offer a small bundle (see zip file below) of needfull things to make the daily usage with the wm6.5 rom´s a little bit more easy/comfortable. The offered programs i am using day4day are:
1. autolock: this tool locks the todayscreen automatically if you press the power-button once
2. a jpg-file in 320x320 realllllly nice for the daily background (thx mascian)
3. comm manager: the ported htc-comm manager to expand the (bad) build in connection manager
4. honeycomb startmenue: the selection style in the start menue will look a bit smarter (thx mascian)
5. ibattery: a really nice battery indicator
6. soft-reset: just a small tool to make a reset without anything more
7. SRS-WOWHD: amazing tool (wm6.5 modified), which will really upgrade your sound-quality! important to know:first install the cab, second you have to install the driver with f.e. resco file explorer, the standard file explorer from windows won´t allow the registry installation - after install, reset, then modify it as you like it in start->settings->system!
8. resco file explorer (trial): very good (touchable) file explorer
9. FingerSuite: very usefull app which replaces standard menu and messagebox for our windows mobile devices - top! link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459125
10. Titanium Customizer: simple but usefull app to arrange the panels in the wm6.5-today-plug; link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497232
have fun!

i searched the registry but didn´t find any editable parts - may be you know a special tool or other ideas how to expand this wm6.5 plugin.

As reported by pocketnow.com, you can always count on xda developers.
Note that this only allow you to add remove item, not customized the picture album folder and weather etc.
Continuing our reports of the "Windows Mobile 6.5 isn't even out yet but..." XDA Developers wrote an application called Titanizer, based on early leaks, that will allow users to customize the Home Screen of the upcoming Operating System, called Titanium.
Titanizer requires Flash 7 installed and once executed (needs no installation) can be used to disable or move around tabs in the Titanium interface the same way it was possible to customize TouchFLO 3D tabs.
1. post updated
would be nice to get some feedback, how it´ll work for everyone
Dear dennito,
for me the weather update works after following your description. I'm using krizky82's WM 6.5 ROM. Just installed the weather plugin, so will report back later if I can see any bug.
Thanks for your fix on titanium weather,
Best regards,

I am also runing krizky82's ROM but I couldn't overwrite the file in the windows directory. What is wrong??
This is 96dpi right? Is it possible to have a 128dpi WM6.5 ROM for i780?
Try this (as attached), it looks much better on 96dpi, just replace this file in "\Windows" directory

the windows build in explorer won´t overwrite system datas, you need sbp explorer or wincommander to overwrite the file.

i know this matter, but i don´t know how to fix it. for me it works in celsius - may be the location code is responsible to change the units automatically. i entered the location code from my city in germany and everything is shown in celsius.

Hi there!
I'm a beginner cooker and need some help with few things that I can't solve with myself
My ROM is based on WM6.5 build 61222 in Ervius Kitchen 8.0
1. Copying the files in File Explorer doesn't work... First I tap on specific file, then I select "copy", then I want to specific the path in the top left corner, f.g. from IS to maim memory and then it crashes...I don't know what to do
2. Opera9.exe and AlbumSearcher.exe are active all the time in Processes list in dotTask Manager. I have to kill them but after SR they appear again. Isn't it something wrong?
3. After every SR calendar and contacts are poping up... how can I solve it?
4. I want to set the softkeys (I'm not using Manila or Titanium) so I made registry key, but I don't know what is the .exe name for contacts? For sure it's not poutlook.exe because it gives no reaction. So what .exe should I put into the registry file?
Thanks in advice!
REGARDS!
1: use Total Commander
2: there's a registry entry you need to add for opera to exit on closing; google for this one
3: check your init/and-or startup
4: it's actually a link in rai; poutlook -contacts
adwinp thanks for answering, but...
1. Total Commander is an alternative program but I want to fix the problem with builded-in File Explorer. I want my ROM to be free of bugs as much as it's possible.
2. It's not problem with closeing because opera9.exe is there at the beginning, after every SR even if I didn't run it.
3. Don't understand
4.So what am I suppose to add in this registry value?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@="Contacts"
"Open"="poutlook -contacts"
Is it correct?
