Disable Animation - Touch HD Themes and Apps

I am using EnergyROM WM 6.5, recently upgraded from Dutty 6.1
I found very annoying and time consuming this "animation" which is active on each menu...
For example: you may start "contacts" then touch Menu (bottom right): the list of options appear, with a 0.5sec delay...in WM6.1 it was instantaneous...
If you edit a SMS or email message> Click "Menu": a list of option (first level) is shown, if then you click on My Text or Insert, then the list pops down and pops up (1 sec delay) with the 2nd level of options...in WM6.1 it was immediate...
I found the animation slow, sluggish and I prefer to remove it and go back to WM 6.1 style (faster).
Can someone point me the way to disable animations in "menus"?
Thanks and waiting.
Saulo

I see this ROM (Energy ROM WM6.5) is equipped with two tweaking utilities:
1. WVGA Tweak
2. Advanced Config
Maybe the trick to disable animations is within this apps?
Thanks and waiting for suggestions
Saulo

I tried using the Tweak Applications for Blackstone, but I cannot see any item or area where I can edit the animation settings...can somebody share his ideas?
Thanks and waiting

I'm on EnergyROM as well (from Nov. 3rd) and I found this: Open the start menu, hit Tools, hit Tweaks. There, you will find something called "Finger Menus OFF" and "Finger Menus ON". When you turn off Finger Menus, you no longer have the nice looking HTC Menus - but the menus appear instantly. But sadly they're very small. But it's better than waiting for the menus to pop up! Atleast for me!

So there's no way to have finger menu without animation, am I right?

registry edit
If you are talking about the HTC Menus, then there is a registry edit which will disable the animation:
Go in a registry editor to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]
and set
"EnableVSync" to 1 (dec)
"AnimationRadio_LS" to 0 (dec)
"AnimationRadio" to 0 (dec)
and then soft reset. I hope it helps.

thanks!!

S2U2 and TouchFlo Cube conflict

Hey guys,
quick question here,
i put S2U2 on to my gf's phone and she is complaining that when she "slides to unlock" the cube jumps up as well, since it recognises the left to right gesture.
apart from giving her the back hand and sending her back to the kitchen, how can the problem be solved? apart from disabling cube/the left to right gesture (which is the solution as more complaints from woman occurs)
thanks in advance
jason
add s2u2 to the touchflo disable program list in the config file or install schaps touchflo config program and use that to set it in the disabled list.
thanks for that brillent suggestion.
one question, i go in to FTouchFlo Config, and go to exclusions but cant seem to find a button to click to allow me to add s2u2 to the list.
thanks in advance
jason

Hi,
I'm really interested to add "Programs" tab to my TF3D. I try to add it with Advanced configuration Tool v3.3 in "More setting -> TouchFLO 3D" but every time get this error:
"An error occurred while loading TouchFlo 3D configuration"
Does anybody know how can I add it to my TF3D tab list?
thanks a lot.

Hi naderus
I was playing around today and found this out. If you go to:
[HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila]
There are lots of values in this key. The value you want is:
Manila://programs.page.hidden
Change this value from 1 to 0
You may also need to ensure the following DWORD value is 1:
[HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Configuration/11/Enable]
You should also see the following values in the same key:
PageName = Manila://programs.page
Title = [[IDS_PROGRAMS]]
I did this myself and the programs page did appear but it didn't work properly. It wouldn't scroll properly and I couldn't select any of the programs listed.
I didn't go any further as I prefer the new Start Menu so have no need of the programs tab.
I hope this helps you to get it working. Please share with the forum what you find out.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Thanks a lot Andrew,
Yes as you told it doesn't work properly for me too.
None of application can launch and scrolling the page is very slow.
I hope in near future this problem is solved.
Thanks again.
Can download the cab file here. This will enable your program tab, plus the normal WM startmenu.

not sure the version but it is working perfectly on my tp2
Thanks it works really great on version 3.0!!!
I prefer to press phisical start button on tp2... and have less tabs on manila... IMHO of course...
The only tab I really miss is under development... this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508102\
I managed to get the new tab show on my Diamond TF3D but it's called "my place". I can't seem to edit or add plugin to this page.

Good point, I was thinking about adding this tab in until I read this and realized I basically already had it, with a hard key to boot.

Remapping TF3D New Start Menu

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...

Link to the Control Panel

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!

notification manager + Finger Menus

I found these 4 applications on EnergyROM WM 6.5 (under Utilities folder)
I have been playing around with them, but I got no clue what are they for and how to use them....I have made a search on this forum but found not relevant links...
Here are the four appls:
Notifcation Manager ON
Notifcation Manager OFF
Finger Menus OFF
Finger Menus ON
Can please someone share with me?
Thank you
Saulo
corrections: these 4 apps are under
main desktop > Utilitities > Tweaks
and the ROM is EnergyROM WM 6.5
I have tried to use the search functions in this site, but nothing relevant I can get.
Can somebody share his suggestions?
Thanks
Saulo
Why dont you ask at the rom thread those questions or use the Google?
You have opened three new threads regarding EnergyROM and comparing it with WM6.1 programs or functions, if you are not happy go back to WM6.1
for 3 reasons I made this post:
(by the way I like WM6.5, I just want to get the most from it! I have no regret to move to 6.5 from 6.1)
1st reason: because I have ALREADY posted this question on EnergyROM thread, 3 weeks ago, but they get new posts so frequently that my question got completely unnoticed and un-answered
2nd by googling or using internal search function I found not relevant explanation of what Notification Manager is
3rd I have try to toggle NOTIFICATION MANAGER but I can feel or see any changed behaviour in my Touch phone..
Can anybody else give me a hint?
Thanks
Saulo
I've got the same rom and the same question, it toggled it on device soft resets. Then nothing?
Dear A1Gp.
Please can you expand? I have enabled Notification Manager (and to apply it it required a soft reset, by the way)
After this soft reset I still see no changes!
If now I press the red button on main page (soft reset) it immediately resets the system, JUST AS BEFORE... I get no notification.
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
I would like to know too!

"Notification manager" is the black screen that show you any notifications (like Miss call, SMS, etc.) when you tap on the top taskbar.
"Finger Menus" is the finger friendly menu in Manila. If you off it, you'll get the standard (smaller but faster) menu. (Tried to use "File Explorer" and click on the menu to see the differences.)
Not using Energy ROM so can't show you screen shots
Hope this help
