Anybody know of a tweak or registry hack to increase the number of favorite contacts? (e.g. the contacts whose picture flip by in the main TouchFlo3d contacts screen).
I'd like to be able to add a few more...
Thanx,
/Mark
i would also like to know if there is a way. My wife "needs" more favorites
What is the maximum number of entries by the way?

Who knows how to add additional items in the today screen. I found the registry entry HKLM\Software\Today\Items
But I don't know what entries are needed and I would rather not have to install Resco, the point of this for me is to save space (and of course learn while doing).
Anyone???
Eh? Pretty much all today plugins come with installers.
Any particular reason for adding them manually?

I guess I worded that weird what I want to do is add shortcuts of the already installed apps to the today screen right now by default the only options are:
Date
Wireless
Owner Info
Messaging
Tasks
Calendar
DeviceLock
I would like to add some more items of my choice but wouldn't know what settings to put in the entries of the reg setting
use a third party launcher. claunch for example
Is there any way to change the order of people I've added to the "Favorites" list on the "People" tab on the TP2 ... short of deleting them all and then adding them back in the reverse order of how I want them to appear on the screen?
they are in alphabetical order

Cool, so all I need to do is ask my friends to change their names based on where I want them on my speed dial list
Seriously ... so the situation is even worse than I thought it is ... are there any hacks to let me arrange them as I wish?
Using:
HTC Tilt2 (AT&T)
Stock ROM
Manila 2.1 tf3d (not sense ui)
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).
Hi,
this has no doubt been answered before, but how do I change the layout of contact numbers to remove the 2 '-' separators in the numbers, without editing my entire list?
Please help
I think you're going to have to edit on Gmail or Outlook, unless its a feature of the phone by default then go into the People apps setting and have a look around there or maybe when you create a contact you can change the setting.
Personally I don't have that happening on mine at all. I put a space between the country code and the actual number but that is it.

Thanks for the reply.....it only appears in this format 000-000-0000 when imported from an SD Card.....not sure why it does it.....it's stupid
Hi, I just bought the htc one X today, I had an Evo 3d and I thought the bigger screen size will help but it didn't. the problem is when somebody calls, and if his name is not in my phone book, the calling phone number is very small that I cannot read it clearly. Is there any way to increase the font size of the calling phone number. I tried to increase the font in the settings but it has no effect of the caller numbers.
i don't know how to do what you want. but have you tried downloading an app that will read out the phone number when someone calls? there are some that also read out text messages.
the settings have no effect on call id.
but, if you download a app in market, who changes the font to a greater then on the phone - it will done for you.

You need root, and be careful, because it can lead to serious issues which require reloading your ROM, but you could use a font changing program like Font Changer (aptly named).
Or, try another Dailer app, or alternative caller ID:

Maybe one of these allows you to change the font size?
thank you
thank you all for your help. I will try your suggestions one at a time till I resolve the problem.

If you go the font changing route, the app's advanced settings allow you to change individual fonts, but I'm not so sure about the sizes etc. Also, I noticed selecting a font that doesn't support bold, for a bold font seems to create problems (unbootable roms!) so make a solid nandroid backup first, that way it's easy to restore and try again if there's a problem.
You might as well try to caller ID apps first as they're just install and check
