Customized Programs Tab??

When using my Touch Cruise with Manila 2D, I was able to change the number of rows and columns for the Launcher Tab with M2DC, but now I was unable to find the solution to modify Touch HD's Program Tab, and apparently the options is not available to Advanced Config Tool and HD Tweak, anyone can point out to me how to do it?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, I like to know that too. When you use NoProgBack.cab and get rid of the gray cubes the 3 horizontal items are lost in space. It can handle 4 items next to each other with ease. The spin off would be that the tab can contain more programs.
Or, if that's easier: how to make two tabs called Programs...
Regards,

I don't start a new thread cause that's exactly what I am looking for... any news since december ?

I'd also be interested in any means of extending the amount of apps that can be accesed via the programs tab, beyond the standard 24.
If you add a 25th key and other details into the registry a new "option" block appears - but it is unusable.
Has anyone managed to get more than 24 option blocks on the standard HTC Touch HD Orange Rom type of Manila?
From settings tab: Touchflo3d v.1.3.35350.1_1630.38
from WinMo SETTINGS>TOUCHFLO>About v3.0 (Build 32567)
I'm not on a custom ROM and don't have the enthusiasm for using a custom rom.

I believe this is your answer - CookieMonster

Help with a registry setting please.

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).

[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!!

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

Link to the Control Panel

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!

Disable Animation

I am using EnergyROM WM 6.5, recently upgraded from Dutty 6.1
I found very annoying and time consuming this "animation" which is active on each menu...
For example: you may start "contacts" then touch Menu (bottom right): the list of options appear, with a 0.5sec delay...in WM6.1 it was instantaneous...
If you edit a SMS or email message> Click "Menu": a list of option (first level) is shown, if then you click on My Text or Insert, then the list pops down and pops up (1 sec delay) with the 2nd level of options...in WM6.1 it was immediate...
I found the animation slow, sluggish and I prefer to remove it and go back to WM 6.1 style (faster).
Can someone point me the way to disable animations in "menus"?
Thanks and waiting.
Saulo

I see this ROM (Energy ROM WM6.5) is equipped with two tweaking utilities:
1. WVGA Tweak
2. Advanced Config
Maybe the trick to disable animations is within this apps?
Thanks and waiting for suggestions
Saulo

I tried using the Tweak Applications for Blackstone, but I cannot see any item or area where I can edit the animation settings...can somebody share his ideas?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo

I'm on EnergyROM as well (from Nov. 3rd) and I found this: Open the start menu, hit Tools, hit Tweaks. There, you will find something called "Finger Menus OFF" and "Finger Menus ON". When you turn off Finger Menus, you no longer have the nice looking HTC Menus - but the menus appear instantly. But sadly they're very small. But it's better than waiting for the menus to pop up! Atleast for me!

So there's no way to have finger menu without animation, am I right?

registry edit
If you are talking about the HTC Menus, then there is a registry edit which will disable the animation:
Go in a registry editor to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]
and set
"EnableVSync" to 1 (dec)
"AnimationRadio_LS" to 0 (dec)
"AnimationRadio" to 0 (dec)
and then soft reset. I hope it helps.
Marek

thanks!!
