i came so far as:
Remapping Keys and Text Input
How To Edit the Keyboard Link
Download http://vieka.com/wordpad.htm Vieka WordPad.
Sync your phone to your PC.
Run CE Notepad on your computer and open any of the following files:
T-Zones Button: "\Windows\Short_IE.lnk"
***Second Method if you have Total Commander, this can be done on the Dash directly.
Navigate to \Windows\Short_IE.lnk
Edit it (to one of the suggestions below for instance), save and reboot.
Recommended Remaps
CommManager: 36#"\windows\CommManager.exe"
Task Manager: 19#\Windows\IA_Task_Manager.exe?:TaskManagerApp
Internet Explorer: 36#"\windows\iexplore.exe"
i dont get the numbers b4 the links.....
Why are you using .lnk? Shouldn't it be .exe if you are using it from your directory and not from Windows Start Menu? Try this exactly as I type it.
36#"Storage Card\Program Files\Deepfish\deepfish.exe"
in your DashConfig. You must use the number 36# because it assigns the hotkey button; in this case the T-Zone button. I believe 19# would be the Mail hotkey. I hope it helps.
The path should have a forward slash before Storage Card\Program Files\Deepfish\deepfish.exe.
I was wondering why he was trying to call up the program via shortcut.

According to the link of the tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281289
'Here is a utility I wrote that will let you change almost all of the JOGGR settings on the phone. It will also let you change the apps that launch when you press the Camera key and the T-Zones key. The app shortcuts must be in the shortcut file format because I didn't know enough about the Windows CE LNK format to simply let you pick an EXE.'
Guess u guys r right and he didnt update the link.
thanks anyway for the help and quick response
Dear XDA Forum visitors,
i got the TP2 yesterday. Now i have an important program on my memory sd card. I want to create a fast way in the menu "start" to go to the program.
Instead of going to the "verkenner" (discoverer?!?) and then go to the right place on the sd-card. I hope there is a faster way to go to the program, but i dont know how.
plz help!
Go to the verkenner , look up your program then tip and hold the file until the context menu appears. Select Copy. Then goto \Windows\StartMenu (the folder will probably labeled different in your locale), tip and hold on an empty space and select "Insert Shortcut" (will again be labeled differently for your locale). This will place a shortcut to your application into the start menu. Then you can select it with Start -> All and you can of course assign it to one of the shortcut buttons.
you can also make a lnk file but that wont be as fast unless you already know how to make one

tried this to create a short cut for my storage card and get an error message
either not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cant be found
how can i get around this
thanks for any help
I have the same problem
I have tested it on two differnet devices.
Even if I create a shortcut to a blank folder I get a certificate error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Shaya
It can be that the program is uncertified or has a bad certificate. In stock rom's those apps don't work. In the coocked one's they mostly do.

Let us know if this solved the problem
I have not tried your fix as I have not yet done a backup.
I do not think this will solve the problem as when i switch to the original WM start menu the shortcut works. So it is something to do with touchFlo.
Just to explain you can recreate the problem yourself.
1. Create a blank folder on your SD card.
2. Copy and paste a shortcut to this folder in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
If you try and run this from the touchFlo programs screen you get a certificate error, if you switch to WM start menu it works fine.
to switch to WM start menu edit the registry as seen in Cabs,Tips,Tweaks etc
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu
EnableManilaStartMenu =
1(orginal TF3D startmenu) / 0(old WM startmenu)
Hey guys,
I got a picture on my email account (gmail) and when I click on the attachment I can only see it, I can't save it.
I tried to get to the attachments directory with file explorer but attachments are saved as .att and I couldn't change the extension of the file (without copying to to a laptop, changing extension and getting it back on the device).
It's really basic requirement, when I get a doc or a picture and I wish you keep them on the device, I'd like the attachment to have the original file name and extension for easy opening on the device.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance
Tap & hold on the attachment and then tap "Save as" in the context menu that pops up.
Hi!
Is there any way I can edit tabs in htc sense? I mean not just show/hide, but add my own app. Using Resco contact manager and I would really like to use its Sms inbox instead of Htc sms tab... Done quite a lot of search but didnt find anything
Thanks for any help!
Also - how can I edit Start menu - if I hold finger on screen, it allows me only to move items. How can i add folder and move eg. favourite apps in there...?
Go to File Explorer app, then go to My Device/Windows.
It takes a long time for the file explorer to finish loading all the files in the Windows folder, but be patient. Did I mention it takes a long time? But it will get there. Don't turn off your phone or reset.
Once it is done, go to Start Menu folder and you can delete shortcut you don't want or edit as your please.
Prior to the 8.1 update, I was able to download a whole song from my drive, then long press on the file, press on the tp right three blue buttons, select "Move to", which I was then able to select Pixel 2, which would then take me to a handful of file folders (included Alarms, Ringtones, Data, etc.). I would select the Ringtone folder. I would then exit and open my ringtones and the full song would be listed.
Now with the 8.1 update. The Pixel 2 option no longer is listed when trying to move or copy the song...what gives?!
Anyone know of another way, without having to download an app or connecting to a computer?

Thanks, I figured it out...the following are steps I took to add a full song/s to ringtones:
1. Download mp3 file (song/recording) to your Pixel 2 XL
2. Open the Downloads app and verify that your file downloaded and can be played
3. Once you verify file downloaded and is playable, exit the file, taking you back to the Downloads list page
4. Tap at the top right 3 white bullet points and the following pop up should display:
New window
New Folder
Select all
Show internal storage
5. Tap on Show internal storage, which will then cause the popup to dissapear
6. Now long press the file, which will cause the file to be highlighted, marked as 1 selected, and giving you the option on the top right corner
to Share (icon), Trash (icon), and now 3 black bullet points,
7. Tap on the black bullet points, the following pop up should appear:
Open with
Select all
Copy to...
Move to...
Compress
Rename
8. You now can choose to either Copy to... or Move to... I chose "Copy to" (not sure if it makes a difference in storage space if either Copy to
or Move to is chosen). Pop up will disappear, but now the option to CANCEL or COPY (highlighted) will pop up at the bottom right.
9. Do NOT press COPY yet. Instead, top left corner press the 3 horizontal white lines, following pop up should appear:
Downloads
Pixel 2 XL
Drive (I have two of these because both personal and work are linked to my phone)
10. Tap Pixel 2 XL
11. Now Pixel 2 XL Files/Folders (Alarms, Android, data, DCIM, etc.) should be on the screen (the CANCEL or COPY options should continue to
be visible at the bottom right)
12. Choose Ringtones, and do not be surprised that when selected this folder is empty, it just is...unless you downloaded ringtones prior to
the update, maybe
13. NOW press the highlighted COPY, this will then take you back to Downloads screen, which you may close at this time
14. At this time tap on your Phone icon in order to make a call
15. Top right corner you should see 3 dark bullet points, tap on those points, and select Settings from the 3 options that it gives you
16. In Settings, select Sounds and vibration
17. Under Sounds and vibrations, select Phone ringtone
18. Now your whole list of Phone ringtones is displayed allowing you the option of selecting ringtones, which should now include the one
you just added, following the steps provided. Select your ringtone and press SAVE
19. You are done!
Again, probably too many steps...but it did what I needed it to do. Now I have a full song as a ringtone. You could do the same for alarms, but don't. Alarms actually allows you to add a new alarm by scrolling up and pressing tapping + Add new option in your clock app, when choosing sound. Don't understand why they don't have this simple option in Ringtones!
I haven't tried it with an entire song, but I just edit a song file to make a ringtone or notification, and move it to the sdcard > media > ringtone or notification folder, then reboot and all my newly added files are available for selection.
More specifically:
Once your file is in the download folder, long press > select copy (two pieces of paper on top of each other at top of screen) > hit back button > navigate to the ringtone or notification folder in sdcard > Media, then hit the clipboard / copy here icon

Copy to makes a duplicate. So you now have the file in downloads and ringtones folders. I would do move. I thought you listed too many steps at first but you literally went through every tap needed. LOL.
I figured that if anyone out there was like me, every single tap would be appreciated. Lol!

Thanks for the Move to tip! I figured that if there was anyone like me dealing with the same question, every tap would be appreciated. Lol!!!
Plug phone into laptop
Pull down notification area and change USB to transfer files
Open file manager on computer and copy MP3 FIle
Paste MP3 File into Phone Notification/Ringtone folder
File should be immediately available for using as ringtone/notification.
