im using miri's manilla 2.1 rom but i decided not to use touch flow 3d.
on the "today" screen(now looks like a long flashy list rather than tf3d), the default browser is internet explorer how can i change this to opera (by registry hack or with cabs)
did you ever sort this ?

You know how IE is on the bottom (favorites) and it's the default browser? I made Opera the default browser, but I want to add the Opera where IE is on the WM 6.5 windows default home screen. Even though Opera is the default pressing the IE on the home screen still launches IE and it's favorites. So I want to sub Opera for IE and it's favorites.
Anyone tweaked that up yet???
I also don't want certain options on the home screen. I don't want getting started as of right now on the home screen. No need for it to be there.
Read my sig for current ROM I'm running.
Does anyone know how to set IE as the default browser? I have the AT&T Tilt 2, WM6.5 factory ROM. I have a program that is not compatible w/ the Opera browser, and I think I like the ability to switch between the 2 variants (modes) (desktop & mobile) of the IE browser.
Thanks,
Dave
tilt 2 default browser
It seems like this should be possible from the registry somewhere. But not everyone want so mess with the registry, or they don't have time to mess with other apps. The 'easiest' way I've found to do it is to launch IE, go to the options menu and tell it to ask if it's the default browser upon launch. Close IE, re-launch and make it the default browser. I had the same problem with an app working waaaay better with IE over Opera.
Search xda for a cab called FIXIE.cab. It will make your pocket IE the default browser.
Can be one of the softkeys mapped to open the Programs list - the default WM 6.1 program list. I'm not using TouchFlo, nor any other shell. I'm using Resco Contact Manager with its Today plugin and this functionality is only thing missing to have my HD really touch-friendly and lightning fast.
Please, advice. Thanks.
this is my first winmo phone so far
along its good features there are some bad ones
in comparison to other phones i used
its alot more complicated and dinasaur like user interface(at least for finger tapping)
i already lost my stylus which is gay... it caught onto something today and is now M.I.A. (only had it for 2 weeks)
the menus are way too small for normal finger and i dont have any nails.
i didnt nottice any major increases in the amount of tweaks besides registry editor. but that is acomplished by other means in many other phone OSes. like patches and editing the install files.
as far as actual user interface there are random one liners here and there.
for example: a pretty common guide you find in alot fo phone forums is how to create your own skin(theme) even software for it is available and beeing developed. not for WINmo.
you would think there would be much more flexibility in creating your own unique user interface. but as far as i know its opposite.
most of the skins are just wallpaper and color variations.
with same layout and menus.
now heres what i need help with
im using leaked TMO rom with 6.5
today window:
can i move the clock to the top bar?(im not that blind, the digit animations are cool for first few days...) i jsut want something simple.
can i make the weather tab more transparent?
can i get rid of call history and calendar buttons?
can i switch the camera and all people soft buttons?
can i make the shortcuts like they are on blackberry phone so it will show selected shortcuts wen i press one button without scrolling?( one of the cooked roms had something similar where shortcuts were under calendar scroll up)
then.
how can i arrange the start menu in windows style but with medium sized icons i hate scrolling thru a long list of programs.
is there a setting to go straight to INBOX and ALL messages? because the preview is very annoying. i still have to press a button to view. theres no purpose for it besides being cool at first.
thats it for now
forgot one more thins
how can i select an item without activating the link?
in other words "mouse-over" since theres no cursor when i tap it automatically selects and opens the item. i fkn hate that. when you try to select something in order to go to menu and it activates the item so i have to close it and start again.
like tapping on a phone number it starts caling right away WTF. makes me not want to use alot of features when i have to do everything twice..
SPB Mobile Shell
Too long try to minimize writings so people dont get bored
have you checked SPB Mobile Shell? .. its a really good customizable UI
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/
It sounds like you just don't like the HTC Sense interface. As mentioned, SPB Mobile Shell is a very popular alternative. Otherwise, there are countless other Today screen plugins available (but many are outdated and require stylus). Or perhaps the default WinMo 6.5 Titanium interface will suit your needs?
im not sure if it comes with the winmo 6.5
whats the difference between sense and touch flo? if any

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
default WinMo 6.5 Titanium interface is the normal Windows Mobile 6.5 UI, the one with the one list and you go up and down and scroll vertically.
Manila 2.0 = TouchFlo3D 2.0 (No weather on the clock and no shortcuts above the tabs)
Manila 2.1 = TouchFlo3D 2.1 = Sense 2.1 (Weather on the clock, and no shortcuts above the tabs)
Manila 2.5 = Sense 2.5 (Weather on the clock + Shortcuts above the tabs)
you probably have WM6.5 with Sense 2.1 (A.K.A TouchFLo3D 2.1 A.K.A Manila 2.1)
you can either use the default WM6.5 UI (A.K.A Titanium interface) or Sense 2.1 (A.K.A TouchFLo3D 2.1 A.K.A Manila 2.1) or install SPB Mobile Shell for a whole new experience.
hope things are a little bit clearer
what about the inboxes is there any way to get rid of that dang preview screen and go straight to inbox for txt and email?
Every new rom for Touch HD have Manila or someting like that home screens..I find only one Energy rom with titanium home screen..And is there any way to remove or disable Manila and put titanium on -Touch HD roms with default installed manila?
Titanium is the standard home screen for winmo 6.5 and above. You will not have it in shipped roms and other wm6.1 based roms.
But in most 6.5 roms available on this forum it is present, if not specifically removed or disabled by the chef.
Just go to start settings home and unselect everything and check windows default to get titanium home.
The reason the only Rom where you could see it before is nrg, is that by default touchflo is activated and nrg offers a Rom that includes no touchflo.
