Resco Plugin with Comm Manager / HTC Action (attached)

Guys,
Problem 1: HTC Action & Resco Plug-in
I want to add the HTC Action icon to the Resco plug-in on my home screen. The problem is the attached file puts a default icon shortcut only in programs? Is there an update to the HTC Action cab that includes a proper icon? I am not sure who's this CAB is, but I tried version 1.0 from elsewhere and that one does not even give a shortcut in programs!
Problem 2: Comm Manager & Resco Plug-in
I want to add the Comm Manager icon to the Resco plug-in on my home screen. The problem is in the config for adding applications it does not list Comm Manager as presumably it only lists the files in programs. Is there a way we can add the shortcut to programs and hence I can add to the plug-in?
Many thanks
Hawk

hi
have u tried to creat shortcut by using GSfinder or Resco explorer?
both of them can send a shortcut into the program folder.

ok on Comm Manager where is the app and how can I do that.
On HTC Action it needs an icon compiled with it!

Game help with Touch HD?

Hi I hope someone here can help me?
I have downloaded some games for my phone and have them saved on the storage card but how do I get them to appear in the list off the programs tab so I can play them? At the moment I can only get them to work through file explorer but its a bit of a faff!
Help please someone!

tap and hold on the game .exe ..select "send to shortcut to programs"it'll appear on ur programs list!

in the file explorer screen? if i tap and hold on a game I get 'cut, copy, rename, delete, send, beam file'?

You can add programs to the list using Diamond TF3D Config!

You need to add shortcuts to the programs from your sd card installation directory to the \windows\start menu folder.
Read here to find out how to make a shortcut:

OK I'm new to HTC and Windows Mobile etc and generally not very techy so bare with me please!
Do I really have to install another program just to move the games to the right place?
I don't know what Diamond TF3D is?
Vijay - thanks for the link but it is all a bit much for me I think - is there no simple way to just copy and paste it to the right place without needing a new explorer etc?

this is what i see when i tap and hold on the game .exe
the option might not be on the pop up menu that comes up after you tap and hold on the .exe .. u've to scroll down the menu.
btw.. what games have you installed on ur storage media!?

if i go to File explorer then Storage card I can see my games (java - not sure if this matters?) Bubble Bash, Date or Ditch, New York Nights, Solitaire and Sudoko - also have a barcode reader app that I can't get in the right place, assume I'm doing the same thing wrong!
If I click and hold on any of the games I get cut, copy, rename, delete, send and beam file. If I press menu (bottom right) whilst highlighting any of them I get Go To (with sub options My Documents, My Device, Folders and Open Path...), Refresh, Show All Files, Sort By, Send, Beam File, New Folder, Rename, Delete and Edit
Also how did you do the screen shot thats really cool and would prob help me to show you what I'm doing wrong!

Hi Finnbob.
You can get screenshots with several different apps, but I'd recommend this one...
http://www.mymobiler.com/
I'd recommend that regardless, as it's just a really useful application!
Incidentally, the screenshot that jtf420 showed us isn't the standard rom. That's not the menu that I get either, as I've only got the standard stock rom on my phone.
Using file explorer, navigate to...
\My Device\Windows\Start Menu
And then create a new folder in there, calling it something relevant like "Java Games". Then just copy and paste the games into that folder (or you can do "paste as shortcut" and leave the actual games where they are).
Hope this helps.
John.

screenshots are made with a prog called PocketScreen 1.3 (thanks RHAPSODY) and it's usually included in may ROM's made by Great CHEF's
regarding the option - "send shortcut to Programs" works only with exe
good guys above have already answered how to make shortcuts for non .exe files .. it might sound complex..but give it a try..
else..u can make a executable file for ur jar (but this kills the idea of java and might be complex process too)
or
use esmertec jbed to launch ur java applications.

ah thank you all! and thank you especially john, I knew there must be a fairly simple way of doing it!
does anyone know if I can change the icons? at the mo all the java games have this 'e' as the icon but this means when I pick them to go on the programs tab I can't tell which is which til I've opened it!

Not an answer to the question really, but if you create a folder in the start menu, then clicking it will open a window that's similar to the programs or settings folder (not really a folder - more an icon view). This will have the full names under the icons, so it won't be a problem.
I don't know how you'd go about changing the icons, I'm afraid. Windows, yeah. Windows mobile, no.

[Request] Games Tab on touch flow

Hi im already using the programs tab for my favourite programs on touch flow, is there anyway to add an extra programs tab so i can put my favourite games on??
ive just joined the touch hd world coming from the xperia and am loving it!!
Thanks

Hi,
I don't have answer for your precise question (new tab) and that's true it would be good to have more programm tabs.
Nevertheless, I used a trick to make appear an "game" icon in TF3D programm tab that opens the game folder with Resco Explorer.
1 use Total commander to make a shortcut of the game folder (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games)
2 rename thins games.lnk to games.sho (example)
3 edit games.sho properties with Total commander (long press, properties)
- in general tab uncheck system/hidden
- in the other tab (sorry I have a french ROM so I don't have the english wording)
* cammand = \Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe
* parameters = \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
* icone file = shellres.dll,-8229 (to have the game folder icon)
4 add this file in your TF3D programm tab the normal way (it must appear in the applications list)
5 when you press the icon, your game folder will open in Resco Explorer.
6 you can configure Resco Explorer to look exactly like when you open the window programs/games
You can do the same for any folder but you have to change the file extention for each now one. I did it with the IE shortcuts folders and now I have an icon in programm tab that opens me a window with my web shortcuts and I just have to press one to open the link. It's a shame that Resco Explorer can not be skinned because we could have make it look like a TF3D programm tab rather than a Windows program tab.

TF3D Start Menu customization

I've had my TP2 for a few days and have seemed to run into a wall when attempting to modify the "Start" page.
It's pretty easy to remove and add programs, but how do you do things like rearrange them or add submenus??
Thanks,
F

install ActiveSyn,then connect your pro2 and pc.
in pc enable show all hiden folders,then in ActiveSync go to pro2 folder
\windows\"start up"menu\programs
you can delete unwanted program shortcuts. maybe you can creat new folders or subfolders to cut program shortcuts in them,i didnt try.
concerning rearrnagment of icons,i dont think there is a way,what i know is you can only move icons in bottom to top.
go to start up menu in your pro2,touch on any program icon for about 3 seconds,one window will come up,it says "move to top"

TomTom keeps running in background, but...

i am using nsffan's 6.5 rom. When I run TOMTOM, everythings fine, but when I hit the 'end' button to go back to the today screen, there is no sign of the program running anywhere (by this i mean that when i press the top right corner, it shows other programs that are currently running, but Navigator is not there). I then tried going to to Task manager, and it doesn't show it there either. But if I go into file explorer, and click on the link to launch TomTom, it just instantly opens, and was running the whole time! what the heck...
Just to add...TomTom doesn't show up as a progra anywhere (if I bring up list of programs to add to quick menu, EVERYTHING is there, but not TOMTOM. How can I make it an actual program? The only way to open it is to go into the 'navigator' folder in Program files, and then click on the tomtom launcher icon. any ideas????thank you!!!

I'll assume that you are running TT7. There are several different versions out there & two different ways they are installed. 1.There a cab's that install directly to you device. 2. There is also just a folder with the files that you copy to your device. Option number 2 you do have to run the program from the file explorer. You could also create a shortcut of the .exe & copy it to your start menu.
I am not sure what ROM you are using but I don't have the task manager in the upper right corner. If you are using a 6.5 Rom & using the default today screen then there is a small application app you can run. It will add an applications panel.
I can send you the TT7 cab if needed & the app file.

It's simply that Tomtom is minimised. You would see the icon on the main screen if you didn't have Touchflo or Titanium enabled.
I do not see it either in the task manager. It has always been like that for me, no matter if i was on 6.1 or 6.5. Must be a small bug in Tomtom. No real consequence, really!
To end the Tomtom program completely, you must end the program trough Tomtom (3rd page in the main menu).

I always see TomTom in the task manager. It seems that some of the newer 6.5 builds don't have the pull down task manager in the upper right corner on the screen. When I open the task manager from the start menu TomTom is listed.
You are right though without Touchflo, Manilla, or Titanium there would be an icon on the today screen on the lower right corner.
