i have tried several different roms, and found that some (namely nrg's) have the settings icon in the start menu link directly to the all setting button on the settings tab, but most just go to the settings tab. is there a way to change it so that when i press the sttings button it always goes to "all settings"?
also is there a way to change the start menu so that when you tap and hold an icon you can move it to where you want it to go rather than just having the pop up menu that says "move to top"? again, this is a feature in nrg's roms, but doesn't seem to be on others.

The move to the top menu when changing icons etc is wm6.5 version dependant and I believe most of the newer ROM versions have it like 23064 for example. The older 6.5 version have the move to the top.
Im sure its a reg hack. Will start digging into the reg....or maybe nrg might share the secret...

I'm looking for the code, dll, or application location that locks the keypad on wm phones. I'm looking to map one of my keys to lock the keypad whenever pressed. I thought the lock functionality on wm phones was an application but tons of searching turned nothing up.
Specifically, I have a t-mobile dash (htc s620) and want to map my t-zones key to lock my phone by editing the \Windows\short_IE.lnk file which controls the key's mapping
lock app
im looking for that too did you find it?

Hey, you can use the star key and it will lock your phone. Also holding the end call key will lock your phone. Additionally if you want to download the new 3volution ROM by Ookba on the Dash/Excalibur forum it comes with a built in keylock that locks the keypad after 10 seconds of inactivity. If you come post over in the Dash forum I'll hunt you down an app to solve whatever problem you have.
I figured out how to do this:
1) Find the DeviceLock.exe in windows/
2) Tap and hold on the EXE file, and select Copy from the context menu that popped up.
3) Navigate to Windows\Start Menu and you will see your current start menu programs in that folder. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and tap and hold in white space (a blank part of the screen below all other programs), then choose Paste Shortcut. This will place a shortcut in your start menu. You can then rename the shortcut to whatever you choose.
Then you can go an modify the button mappings in settings and select the new shortcut you created in the start menu and you're done.

In WM6.0 Pro I didn't had the DeviceLock.exe on windows folder. so I had to use the cab above.
Still I don't get it why in a Samsung Omnia with WM6.1 you can lock the keyboard by pressing for 2 seconds the end call button and on HTC P3600 with WM6.0 the end call button doesn't do that.
I am running wizbar v3 which changes my Start Menu which I like, but I'd like to be able to keep a way to access the default Start Menu that includes app shortcuts (without restoring the Programs tab on the touchFlo interface). What I want to do is create a soft key on the homescreen labeled "Programs" that points to the TF3D start menu so I can have it available while running wisbar. Anyone know how this can be done?
I think I understand what you are trying to do but Wisbar is a today screen plugin that replaces TouchFLO 3D. Without TouchFLO 3D running, you will not be able to access it's program menu interface. I think Wisbar has an icon based start menu, could you use that instead?
thanks for the reply. I'm not sure about that though, my touchFlo is definitely running while I run wisbar..I can go through the tans and all the touchFlo features are fully functioning as wisbar is running. Wisbar's start menu is like a list view instead of the larger icons that touchFlo displays for its design of the Start menu.
Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding. There are several different versions of Wisbar. I thought you were talking about Wisbar Advance Desktop which will replace the TouchFLO 3D. Wisbar Advance is just a start menu replacement and I think that is the one you are using. I don't know if there is a setting to allow you to see the original icon based start menu in Wisbar. You may have to edit the registry to change the soft key or modify one of the xml files for TouchFLO 3D. I have used a different program called Quick Menu that replaces the start menu with one like in Wisbar. It has an option that you can set that will open the original start menu with a long press on the start button. You may want to try Quick Menu, it is a free application and does what you want.

Not real sure what wisbar does, but this cab will put the manila start menu as just another tab on your slider and gives the original start menu back. If wisbar is just another start menu replacement, then that would still work. credit cookiemonster

Right I'm using the Wisbar Advance 3 so my Desktop is the default design. I've used QuickMenu before it's pretty neat, didn't know it had that function with it. In general though I think it would be great to have a way to change each of the softkeys for this new TouchFlo since they change depending on which tab is selected. Hopefully someone is working on this...
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!
Hey everyone. I love the new Start Menu on the touch pro 2. I do have a question though. I plan on packing alot of programs onto that start menu, and Would like to keep the entire top half for the most used programs. Is there a way to remove or move the People, Calendar, Settings and Home buttons? I dont have the choice to remove them with the remove mode.
There is a program floating around at XDA named reSTART which can arrange the WinMo 6.5 start menu... you can also make folers for you icons.
I just did a search:
"Search: Keyword(s): reSTART, start, menu "
The only post it brought up was this one. Do you have a link to it?
This is also WM 6.1... NOT 6.5.

Remove Locked Start Menu / Programs tab Items
Free up the start menu / Programs Tab icons that are there by default and not removable you need to change (Thanks Mallman)
Code:

HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/1/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/2/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/3/IsReadOnly
Change this value from 1 to a 0 and you can then edit their shortcuts.

I bought a preloaded FTV so I dont know anything about how these are setup. I tired to search but I cannot find anything as Im sure Im using the wrong wording. Anyway, there is an Internet option on the XBMC home screen that was tied to FF browser. I wanted to change which app that button launches. How can I do that? I have the app already side loaded... Thanks!
I need to find out here the app is so I can assign the ' Default select action '
Depends on the skin, you can customise some skins and change the buttons around. It's under appearance and then skin settings, depends on the skin how it is implemented though.
What skin are you using? What do you want to add to the home screen menu?
ITs Aeon Nox. I did find where the options are to change button name, what shortcut to apply to it etc. Im going to assume that I need to use the Custom option and type in the location of it on the storage where its located. Since it'll be pulling the app from the FireTV side of the AFTv ( Its side loaded... ) The only way I can access it now is by going all the way back to AFTv screen and going to settings and all apps ( or something like that )

If you want a button for firefox in aennox just add firefox to your favorites, then select it from your favorites when setting up the button.
Or if your using Aeon Nox 4, you can add it directly to the Home screen.
Go to System > Appearance > Skin (Settings) > Custumizer (Main menu item customizer)
Then on the Main menu, select the item you want to add as a custom menu item and select it. If if has a red X on it, then select "disable" to enable it, then select "Choose Type".
Now select "Custom" and in the keyboard box type in:
StartAndroidActivity("your.app.apk")
So for example Netflix would be:
StartAndroidActivity("com.netflix.ninja")
You can do this for either the main menu item or for sub-menu items.
Thanks!!!
How do I add Firefox to my favorites
Or how do I find the directory where Firefox is so I can type it in the custom StartAndroidActivity section
Finally got iy. I had to go back into the Confluence ++ skin, add the app to my favorites and then go back into the custom Aeon Nox skin and then add the app from favorites...
