I am pretty new to the Dash so I need some more help (already given a lot of help, thanks) I am wondering how to install and where to find new Home Screen's and how to change the background colour in the start menu?
Thank you for your time and when you help me please remember I am new so please use new person terms haha.

Alrighty... First of all, which ROM are you using?

Well, no matter which ROM you use--you can access your homescreen options this way: Start -> Settings -> Home Screen -> scroll down to Background Image. When you get here, just choose which image you'd like to be the background/wallpaper. (before making these steps, you can search Google or Yahoo! images for whatever wallpaper you'd like) Once you've saved an image (preferrably .jpeg), use ActiveSync to place the file on your device. Click Explore button -> Windows Mobile Device -> Application Data -> Home (this is where you store downloaded homescreen images).

i am using kavana rickwyatt v20 thank you for such quick replys but i dont mean the background pictures but like new homescreens as in new paneling and everything. i should have said that in my first post sorry.

The Home screen is controlled with XML files which lets you specify the position of certain panels, etc. Here is a tutorial on modifying the file:
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=reviews&id=916
If you have any specifics questions about that let me know.

thank's a lot and I am going to read through that tutorial when I get some free time for sure.

I have another question but I don't want to open a new thread so I will ask it here. Are there any program's that have city map's? I need some map's of my city on my phone (I am a delivery driver).?

If I'm not mistaken, Windows Live has mapping and directions within it. It should already be a part of your Windows Mobile 6.1. Just look in the programs under the 'Start' menu.

I you dont want all the baggage of Windows Live, which permanently gloms all over your phone. just install "Windows Live Search". I think it is a better, leaner choice unless you already use Live Spaces and/or Hotmail.

I was wondering if you guy's knew of DLable maps because I don't want to rack up my data charges on the road?

I have the Kavana 6.1 rom... A link to open up Windows Live is built into the panels... Isn't there another option for that panel? I'm new to this, so bear with me please...

Look at a sticky named CHome configurator
That is a program that you can use to customize the panel.

Thanks, I'm working with that as well... I just remember when I was setting up my phone that there were two ways to set up the Windows Live panel. I don't see the option in the Configurator however.
Oh, and I'm still trying to figure out what app you all use/recommend for editing .cpr files. Any help is appreciated..

Notepad.
Drag the file to your computers desktop, edit it by opening it with Notepad.
Drag it back to your phones \Windows folder and reboot.

Ok, you beat me to it... thanks!

Where are the plugins located

Im using Kavana Ricky's remade.
Have just made an error on CHome customise of Programs.
I changed the Plugin icons: Location istead of the Picture location now i don't have the programs bar on home screen.
Can someone please provide location.
Thanks in Advance.

Try this.
Start menu -- My Tools -- Configurator -- and click on the plugin you want to show. It's probably just hidden. You can also move up or down which ever one you want.

That just changes the picture of the app your displaying had done them all then messed up.

I believe you will have to find the image you want or originally had for your programs panel and put it in your windows folder. Then find the path somehow and type it in. Like I said I don't know, but tried. I would wait for a mod to help or someone with more experience.
Good luck and keep me posted.

Update Re Flashed.
Solved.

Can't access the TouchFlo3D settings!

It's not highlighted for me to get into the options when I go to "Today" then "items". When I press the start menu I get the drop down instead of the touchflo one.
Unless their is another way.

I imagine there's a registry edit you could do, where? I have no idea. I haven't bought mine yet, just didn't want a thread to go unposted

Thanks for the reply man! I hope someone knows.

There aren't any settings for TFLO3D2 in there. You can however un grey the option button (it won't do anything cause there aren't any settings for it) by going to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO 3D (not the one in quotes)\ in the registry and setting the key options to 1 instead of 0.

Ok so I guess I need a registry editor. What is the best one to get and are they free?

I have CeRegEditor. I find it easy to use, pretty basic, and user friendly. Im sure there are better ones out there. but if you're gonna use it like i do, just for basic edits, this will suffice nicely.
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?id=3&lang=en
theres the link for it.
gonna try this RegEdit right now, and ill post back for ya. :].

It looks like it's for the PC. Is their one I can do straight from the phone?
EDIT: I got an error after it installed...
"Unhandled exception raised! Error message: Failed to set data for " " Then it would opens, should I be worried?

No problem.
There are some setting for TFLO3D2 in the registry though.
Look here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\
And here:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\

its for your phone. Just click on the orange phone in the upper left hand corner to connect your phone to the program. and then youll be available to see all of the keys. and then you can edit the registry from there.

Very stupid question

So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.

click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

You can also press and hold the message in the list you wish to do something with and you will get the same list of actions as if you tapped on the small letter.

[SOLVED]USBtoPC issue

ROM and radio in sig.
I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a registry key that sets the USBtoPC value for enabling or disabling the tickbox for "Enable faster data synchronization," or whatever it says. I'm trying not to reinstall the normal start menu to get to the setting as it isn't listed in Quick Menu for some reason, and I haven't been able to find the actual problem. It would be nice to be able to add this to XDA_UC for each new flash. (I think I have ORD)

Bump. Still having this issue. Someone please help!!

You're right -- it isn't in QuickMenu. It's somewhere in windows\mycpl.cpl6,6. Haven't quite got the correct string for a run... shortcut,
BUT
Mine is set to "Always ask", and here are the registry settings. Import/re-create manually, dis- and re-connect ActiveSync. The dialog box you want should pop up.
I haven't been fooling with the Windows Registry for 15 years for nothing. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply, but that isn't exactly what I'm looking for. In the USBtoPC application, there is a check box saying "Enable faster data synchronization." I'm using BirdieSync to connect to Thunderbird. I have to have this option un-checked in order to connect. I was just hoping that there might be a registry string that toggled this option so I could apply it and use it in the future in my XDA_UC folder.

Sounds like you want it set to "Always Ask" which presents the options screen to select type of connection. My settings should do just that. Have you tried them?

Your settings enable the pop-up notification when I connect to my PC. I already have it set that way. You can't access the checkbox that I'm talking about through the notification, though.
The first screenshot attached is of the notification window that you're describing. The second one is from tapping the USBtoPC link in the start menu. I'm looking for a way to have the circled checkbox UN-checked when I start up the device after a flash. I was hoping it might be something as simple as a registry string or something, but I was unable to find anyone with a related issue.
It normally wouldn't be a problem, but I can't use XDA_UC to set up Quickmenu for me because I can't access this setting unless I go through the normal start menu. It would be nice to be able to "set it and forget it" so to speak.
Sorry for not posting screen shots in the first place. I suspect that might have alleviated our mis-communication.

Until you posted the screenie, I wasn't aware there were 2 separate screens. I'll poke around the registry some more and see what I can come up with.
btw: Thanks for promoting me to senior member.

The second screen that is off limits with Quick menu is found via going to the normal start menu and selecting Settings-> Connections-> USBtoPC. I think that's the right path. I'm drawing from memory as I haven't used the normal start menu in ages.
As for the senior member comment, I had to give you credit for helping me!

Bump again.
There has to be someone here who knows something about this.
I'm begging!

I guess it's this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\USBtoPC]
"EnableAdvanceChecked"=dword:0
Maybe it needs something else to be set, not sure

That isn't the one, but thanks for trying. I thought that was the one before I posted the question. I'm starting to think the setting is just a ghost or something. I'm going to leave this thread open for a few more days and cross my fingers. If not then I'll just continue to manually install Quick Menu, so I can hit that box before hand.

I've hit those keys before as well without the box being unmarked. I have no idea what "EnableAdvanceChecked" does, but "SyncMode" activates Active Sync as the default connection, I believe.

You WIN! Wow. It finally worked. The only key that needs to be changed is the first one, changing RNDIS to Serial_Class. I'm about to flash again to test out my new mortscript, and I'll see if dropping in this key fixes the issue too. I'll update when I finish.
EDIT: SUCCESS!!! I also found a packaged version of quick menu by colossus_r who has links to all of the settings that get lost when you move between start menus. A quick search for colossus_r start menu should turn it up. I'm going to go ahead and close this thread now. Thanks for the help!

I screw up with this
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers]

I exported this with a registry toolkit, but this is completely wrong. It was either my fault or the tool has a bug. Nvm.
Yes, just changing the DefaultClientDriver to Serial_Class changes what you needed. The other keys are just in case that your favorite chef deleted them from the registry. I don't trust his skills.
