I have a Tmo TP2 with nrgz28's 6.5 2.1 rom and was wondering if anyone knows how to edit the main screen where it shows call history and calender. I want to get rid of the calender tab. Any ideas? Also my gf has a mt3g and she has a google option to speak what she wants to search for and google displays it. Is that something that the TP2 may eventually have via cab or other, or is that strictly for the mt3g cause it is a GOOGLE phone. And lastly when you hit the globe and you are on the internet tab is there a way to edit the choices (right now it is opera , IE, and a few others but i want to lose the beejive and windows live selections and a few others. Only 2 options are bookmarks or menu neither which affect the list on the main internet page. Thanks in advance.

if you navigate to the "internet" tab in touchflo and click "launch browser" touchflo opens up Internet explorer instead of Opera.
now, the odd thing is Opera is still installed on the device. but can anyone tell me how to revert it back to the way it should be? IE is just horrendous.
BTW, i know i've seen it elsewhere. but where do i make the change so the weather is correct in the calender?

in case you haven't had the weather question answered, its linked to whatever you have the city set as local in your clock settings
Hi, I know how to change the softkeys on the "Home" page but I'm really not too happy with the Pro2's way of listing "all people" as the default address book, I really preferred the old windows mobile look where you could organise contacts through "company" and all that, I know you can navigate to "programs > contacts" to get this old look but it's not that convenient...
After having a search on the forum I couldn't find any definite so I thought I'd make this post. What I’m trying to do is when I click the "all people" button, (highlighted in red on the link) I want it to be able to open the standard windows mobile contact list that I mentioned above rather than the new HTC TouchFLO3D one. I know you can go into the registry and alter the main Home TouchFLO3D page's softkeys but I can't seem to find out how to change the softkeys on the other TouchFLO3D tabs (like mail, contacts and photos)... Can anyone help, thanks!

Hello, I have the US T-Mobile version of the Touch Pro 2, and was wondering if it was possible to tweak TF3D so that the favorite people tab is switched with the MyFaves tab. If you have this version, you will know that you have the option of displaying MyFaves without a home or people tab, or hide MyFaves and have the home and favorite people tab show... I want to have the home tab show as well as the MyFaves tab in place of the favorite people tab. I just think the favorite people tab in Manila 3D sort of sucks and is more looks than user friendly... Manila 2D is definitely easier to use when it comes to the contacts tab. Any way to do it? I was thinking a registry tweak might make it possible but I'm not very experienced with that so I wouldn't really know. Thanks for any info that can be given.
I know this is old but if anyone is searching and comes across this thread, the hack to do this is:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Manila:// (now you can select whatever home tab you want to edit, in this case myfaves or people) .page.hidden
If you have myfaves display turned off and want to make it appear alongside your home tab, change this value from 1 to 0
If you have myfaves display turned on then you will have to edit home and people registry entry instead and change them both from 1 to 0
Now you can go into organize tabs and select home, myfaves, and people tab if you want.
OK, I know i will get flamed, but i have searched here, ppcgeeks, and howard forums, but apparently am not using the correct phrase or tag words. Can I, and if so, how can i remove the calender and missed calls from the home screen? i have ready through a ton of threads, i just cant find an answer. Flame away, but please also answer! BTW, i'm not a noob to these devices, i have had a 6700 and 6800, custom roms, etc, and have "tweaked" my TP2 rather significantly. i am pretty close to where i want it, just want to get rid of these last 2 things, then it is a hard reset, and reinstall everything i like. please help!
I know you can get rid of the "calendar" and "missed calls" icons quite easily. But you want to completely remove the links? So for the end result, you want just the clock on your home tab? ie, you don't want to see your next appointments and missed calls at all?
To answer your question, you will have to be more specific with your description. For instance, what items do you have selected for your today screen? Are you using Manila/TouchFLO 3D, HTC Home, or a 3rd party Today plugin? One possible fix could be disabling the calendar from the Today Items menu, or if you are using Manila/TouchFLO 3D, you can customize the tabs and remove the calendar from the list. Maybe you can take a screenshot of your screen so it is easier for us to see what you are talking about.
yep, just want them off the home screen, btw ohyeahar, i am using your skin and love it, thank you very much for all of the work.
i am using touchflo3d, i've taken all of the check marks off of the items list in the today settings screen, aside from the touchflo 3d check
Ok, I see what you are saying... On the "Home" tab of TouchFLO 3D, you would just like to see the clock and nothing else.
I did a search and found this thread:

In the thread they referenced Diamond TF3D Config, by Sushilange
I searched for that and found this thread with a download link:

I downloaded the cab, installed it but it would not work on my phone
Apparently, this is for a previous version of Manila
I did some more searching and it seems that a lot of people want the same thing as you but I was unable to find a way to do it.
I am going to poke around in my registry and see if I can find a way to modify the home tab manually.
I found another thread that talks about removing the Calendar and Missed Calls:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=456474
There are some cabs on page 3 that you can try or you can read further in the thread where it talks about modifying the xml files to manually make the changes.
thank you, i will weed through and see what i can come up with.
well, the no dotted lines cab worked fine. i used the 590ad244_manila.zip file and replaced the file in windows and the calender is gone, not the missed calls. i attached the files here, thank you to [email protected] for these, i will continue to read through and see what i get.
ok, well, after some searching and fooling around, I tried editing the manila file again, but still have the missed calls text up. also, the above file only removes the calender text, and not the actual button, so if you press in the spot where the calender text was, it goes to the calender. not a huge issue, just thought i would mention it. but still not able to get rid of the 0 missed calls. my search continues, getting closer though.

Is there any simple way (via editing xml code or a .cab) to add notifications to the home screen of the touchflo 3D? I really dislike both the sms and email tabs and want to remove them, but need to know when an account has a new email.
Alternatively, is there a way to make the tabs display the # of NEW messages, rather than Unread messages? If so, I could just use the tabs for notification, and otherwise ignore them...
I have been searching a reading until my head hurts, but I just cant seem to find the right key words to get the info I need. Thanks for any help...
Ok, maybe a complicated way, then?
After looking through all of the xml files on this device, there does not appear to be one that controls the main "home" tab of the touchflo 3d interface. At least, not one that I can make any sense of (there are several that are just numbers/letters grouped in 4s through most of the document)...
So... What type of file should I be looking for, and how to edit it?
---------------------------------------------
What I think I know about the xml files:
att_tabitems.xml -> all of the elements on the att tab of the touchflo ui.
default_contacts.xml -> speed dial
ha_skin_*.xml -> photos and videos tab of touchflow ui
internet_portal-en-US.xml -> top half of internet touchflo ui
StreamingPlayer*.xml -> music tab of the touchflow ui
There's also a few obvious ones for other program's, like the calculator, settings for pop mail... etc
They are manila files.
I did a quick search and i found this... not sure if it will work though

How would the phone discern which messages are unread as opposed to which is new? They are essentially the same thing. Good luck with finding that one.
All new messages are unread... but all unread aren't new (but "new" being as you haven't read them so, in a sense, all unread messages are new... yeah haha have fun with that.)
Not quite, I think...

I've looked at all of the manila files with the manila editor (literally every single one)... they all seem to be just images. Am I missing something here?
Edit: Yes, I'm a blooming dope. The manila editor was filtering for just graphic files. opening in mode9 editor allows me to see file types. There are 4 types of manila files: mode9, lua, xml, and graphic files. Haven't figured out what yet, but the file 590ad244_manila seems to be the xml file controling the home screen. Not sure how far I can get with just the xml (as there are also lua and mode9 files associated w/ the home screen, but I'll be giving it a go over the next bit

Thanks, but that thread says it is for "sense", and that seems to be different than the 2.1 tf3d "manila"... at least based on post 3 of this thread

That is exactly what I am looking for though.
Any chance that information is wrong and I actually have sense 2.1? I read elsewhere that if the slider icons were black/white, it's not sense, colored icons, it is. Can't seem to find that info anywhere right now though.
Thanks for the help so far, I really do hope you all can help me sort my muddled noob confusion out here.
*Sorry, had to remove the http bit from the link to the post. for some reason the forum is calling that an outside link and not allowing it.

Well, I have ~102 unread messages on my gmail account (I suscribe to several linux lists- i know, cut back) and 4 unread messages on my outlook. In TF3D UI, the message tab says 99+. If I switch to stock Windows Mobile 6.5 (titaniun), on the email slider it just says "1", because there has only been one message received since the last time I went to the email interface and opened those accounts. This has been the default behaviour of all of my previous WinMo devices (always WinMo standard, before now).
