I'm not sure what I have done, but when I first had my P3300, when I entered the TouchFlo mode by sweeping down the screen, the contacts section (the third button from the left, fourth row) was viewed in the same grey TouchFlo appearance as the main TouchFlo screen (if you get what I mean). I seem to recall that the first letter of the contacts appeared in the middle of the screen in a big grey box.
Now, when I enter the contacts section when in TouchFlo mode, I get the regular WM6 contacts list, which is impossible to scroll effectively with one finger.
Does anyone know how I can get contacts to appear in TouchFlo grey when I am in TouchFlo mode?
I have tried Restore Defaults on the About Tab in TouchFlo Settings. What should each of the buttons in the App Launcher on the Launcher Tab be set as? (App and Params)
Thanks
I'm sorry to do this. I'm just burnt out on searching today. The icon on my MyFaves panel (the five circles icon) decided to go AWOL today. All the icons appear to be intact in the Windows directory. What do I have to edit to get rid of the damned red "X"?
Only thing I've done differently was update CHome Configurator and CHome Weather. I'm not blaming them since they really don't deal with the icon. I just can't think of anything else I've done.
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\MyFaves and edit the iconpaths location to where your pic is. The first pic in iconpaths is when your window is active and the second pic location is when your window is inactive. Your pic is probably in your \Windows directory. Hope this helps
(just in case I wasn't clear, here's a capture)
I gotta get off this thing for the night.
the iconpaths key has the value "4605;4604".
What does that translate to?

Do you have the My Fav icons in your windows folder?
if yes, then change the link in the iconpaths to the MAIN "my fav" icon in both reg address'
In the brozeres.dll, the picture files for iconpaths are predefined (meaning they are preloaded, so you don't have to do jack to have your screen be complete).
You can change their paths to whatever you want and that image will replace what the bronzeres.dll days that iconpath should be.
So if you want your active icon to be a color image of My faves icon , and your inactive to be a black and white image of the same, then it would look something like this:
iconpaths:
\Windows\youractiveimagename.png;\Windows\yourinactiveimagename.png
Just make sure whatever image you replace IS located in the place you entered in your registry. It's that easy. Takes like 5 minutes, just type in location drop pics in location (if not already there) and reboot or run your weather update and reload homescreen (might have to change layout, not sure about that). That's it.
I owe you a beer.
One day, my friend.
Oh sure he gets the beer but i dont?
Fine next time ill write a page long way of fixing your issue. lol
Hell, get us all together and the first round's on me.
A clue, perhaps?

Okay, the MyFaves pics on the collapsed panel are now X's on my phone.
The pics/icons in the expanded panel are fine.
I believe I have found a clue:
Thinking it might reset the collapsed MyFaves pics/icons panel, I
thought I would change the home screen to something else, reboot, then
change it back and reboot again.
But the home screen layout wouldn't change! So I scrolled through the
home screen settings and discovered duplicate fields on the settings
page for "Home screen layout" and a couple of other fields.
If I changed the layout in the second occurrence (or both occurrences) of
the "Home screen layout" field then the change would occur, but not if
I changed it only in the first occurrence of the field.
Oddly enough, sometime over the weekend the duplicate fields
disappeared but collapsed My Faves panel still displays the X's
rather than miniature pics/icons MOST of the time. Occasionally a
single mini-pic will appear, not always the same one.
Obviously something about the Home Screen settings has become
corrupted.
Here's where maybe XDA developers can help. I'm thinking that the various
home screen layouts must be templates into which a user's unique
settings are imported.
For example, you and I (and everyone else) have identical templates
for, say, the "T-Mobile default" layout. Our unique settings (My
Faves people and icons/pics, Weather app city, etc) are properties imported into the template before (or as) it is displayed in the panel. If someone could find out what file(s) comprise the "T-Mobile default" template, someone
might be able to either tell us how to fix the corruption or post the uncorrupted template file(s) copied from another Dash phone.
Now, while online with my Dash to Tmo this past weekend through Web2Go
I came across a support screen that listed support for "missing
MyFaves app". Unfortunately that link led nowhere (dead). Now I can't even find the page, but obviously T-mo does recognize a missing MyFaves app as an issue, so it may be possible to restore our missing icons/pics to the collapsed MyFaves panel by reinstalling the MyFaves app.
I'm not sure this is relevant, but this occurred after a couple of aborted attempts to install Opera, then Mini Opera. Eventually I got Mini Opera installed.
Distinguished XDA developers, I know many of you think the MyFaves app is useless but some people like having it, so any help that you can provide is greatly appreciated!

I know this is a minor issue but how do you remove an icon that's been duplicated in the Lauch Program list in the TF3D software?
I uninstalled then reinstalled Memory-Map, now I have 2 Pocket Nav icons.

If by "launch program" list you mean the "Programs" tab in TouchFlo 3D, then at bottom right of screen is "remove" (right "softkey") tap that, then tap the icon/shortcut you want to remove, then tap "done" at bottom right.
From the Programs screen, hit All Programs to see the Launch Program screen I'm referring to.
Start > Fileexplorer > Windows > Startmenu > Programs (look here for the Duplicated icons and erase one of them.
Thanks kokkie.
thanks kookie for that two. was about to get annoyed with my phone for same reason. quality phone and site
itsloads easier to do it in activesync on your pc
Hi All,
I got my TP2 at the weekend, and am very impressed - I've moved across from my Palm Treo 650, and am pleasantly surprised by how good WM6.1 is.
I have one problem - while fiddling at the weekend, I turned off TouchFlo3d and while it was off I installed a couple of apps (iSilo and eReader). When I reenabled TF3D, these two apps appeared at the bottom of the "All Programs" list in TF3D, rather than being in alphabetical order. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them with TF3D running, but they won't budge from the bottom of the list.
Before I hard reset and start again from scratch, is there a config file or a registry setting I can manually hack to put these in their rightful place in the menu order?
Many thanks in advance,
Simon
PS Has anyone else noticed that you can use the magnet in the supplied pouch to fool the keyboard slide switch? With the TP2 asleep, touch the USB port on the bottom against the HTC logo on the flap of the case - best thing is to put the case flat on the desk, and then lower the TP2 vertically towards it. Watch as the TP2 comes on and rotates its display...
Locate the program. Then copy the program by: tap-holding the program and selecting copy.
Then you go to the following map: windows/startmenu.
Then past Shortcut there by tap-holding again and choose: paste shortcut.
Sorry - that doesn't fix it. The shortcuts are already present in Windows\Start Menu, so pasting them in again has no effect. The problem is the order in which the programs are displayed in the All Programs menu, which I suspect is controlled by a registry setting or a config file somewhere.
The last programs start with a small letter, the rest starts with a capitol.
Just change the first letter in a capitol, and it will sort correctly.
Ah - that sounds very promising! I'll give it a try...
That totally did the trick! Thanks!
I had the same question, thanks for posting this!
double listing in All Programs
I had the same problem (eWallet - changed to EWallet and it sorted properly).
I have another problem though. While moving things in my Start Menu into folders, I ended up with Abode Reader listed twice in the All Programs menu. How can I remedy this?
You guys are great - thanks for all the help!
Has anyone been successful with this? No amount of hacking is allowing me to change the soft key for the touchflo 3d home page section...
I have used Advance Config, TouchFlo Detacher and Registry editing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeLSKText = Text on softkey
HomeLSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
My result:
The text changes but the button will not launch program.
Search for a way to have it work leads me to the same result. could it be the version of manila?
my touch pro 2 is sprint version. I read one other forum where a tmobile version could not get this working either with my same result.
any info would be helpful. thanks
I used only the Advance Config
it works fine with me
Since I just cleared my storage (cause I manage to **** up the touch flo and have two settings and no calendar tab), I will try advance config first without touching the registry.
Ok I just realized Advanced Config does not remap the softkey for the TouchFLO 3D shell. It remaps the regular today screen's softkey. Unless I'm doing something wrong, here's what I did.
1. open advance config
2. press menu (right soft key)
3. clicked "more settings"
4. clicked "key mapping"
5. key mapping configuration for path and text shows up, did the changes.
of course since this only remaps the regular screen's softkey, the change does not show on the touch flo 3d home page soft key (where camera is).
I had a similar issue trying to set up TFDetacher and my Sprint TP2. I ended up hard resetting because it was jacked up. I haven't had a chance to try to fix yet.
I had the same issue, but only with the left softkey. Till now I found no solution.

Problem is that (at least on my TMO unit, but I've seen others report the same thing)
HomeLSKText - Changes Text on the left softkey
HomeRSKText - Changes Text on the right softkey
HomeLSKPath - Doesn't appear to do anything!
HomeRSKPath - Changes application launched by LEFT softkey (note - that is NOT a typo!)
i.e - it's easy to change the left softkey on the Manilla home page, but so far I've not found out how to change the right softkey - though I've seen screen caps here that show it changed, so it is clearly possible.
-Steve
On the sprint version there is no fix as of yet you can change the name on the key, but the activation is still contacts, this is with reg edits and programs i have tried.
Keyswop - changes the phone or Lock softkey.... still trying to find something to change the Touchflo 3d Icons so I can attach different movie players and such to the interface though.

yes, that was my other ultimate goal was to make those other touchflo tabs into buttons rather then 'tabs', that opened programs. personally I don't want ANY tabs, and just keep the touchflo on the home page, but disabling the tabs also disable their overlay features (hence loading from quick programs doesn't load the touchflo version like calendars).
Think the answer for remapping the soft keys in Manila TF3d home are as follows (using windows calendar as an example):
Within the registry.
1) HKLM\software\HTC\Manila
Within that folder see if the following string exists and change the value - if it doesn't then create it:
Value Name "HomeLSKArguments "
Value Data "-manila off"
(without the quotes)
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKPath"
Value Data "\windows\calendar.exe"
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKText"
Value Data "Calendar"
(Don't enter the quotes above)
This works for me and remaps the left soft key to open the normal windows calendar program. Also works with Right Soft Key simply by changing LSK to RSK - (got my RSK taking me straight to Comm Manager)
Good luck

thanks for the input. at least now I know the arguments path is probably important. However, it still does not work. same results, text changes, but does not operate. =(
nope did not work 4 me, maybe we can have other sprint users try this out to see if they are successful.Are you sure this is step by step in how you accomplished this?
I think I may have figured it out or at least am on to something...
I remapped my LEFT softkey to open Windows Media Player.
HomeLSKArguments:
HomeLSKPath:
HomeLSKText:Media Player
HomeRSKArguments:
HomeRSKPath:\Windows\wmplayer.exe
HomeRSKText
I have a brand new Sprint TP2.

I believe you figured it out. Arguments is not needed though. -manila off doesn't do anything.
So RSKPath points to left... that's really annoying. I remember reading this somewhere, but it was so ridiculous that I never tried it. LSKPath doesn't do anything though. =( Definitely a bug somewhere
yeah the left key can be re-mapped, its the right key that activates contacts and has yet to be changed.

Ahh bummer. I though I figured something out.
But just to be clear:
Only Sprint customers are having problems with remapping the softkeys, and it's only the right softkey.
The Verizon Touch Pro2 doesn't have to reverse the RSK/LSK paths AND can remap the RSK.
Maybe someone should re-title this as a Sprint only problem?
I've also read some tmoble have this problem too.
just curious, what version of manila do people have? (listed in the same registry location).
mine is 2.1.38416.1 and I am with Sprint.
@ dshosu: idk about tmobile but sprint versions has this issue, verizon's dont.
@ tonefour: i have the same manila version.
Mine is exactly the same, I just got mine yesterday from Sprint (2.1.38416.1)
