My first WM please help :(

Hello
Ive just got the HTC Touch and its the first time I use a WM phone.
I feel there are many options missing and I'd love some help from you guys. this is my first post.
First is there a way we can create a shortcut that directly starts a new SMS msg to send ?
How do I make some programs start automatically as windows starts ?
The built-in calculator is the ugliest thing ever, i want an easy to use calc and not scientific , not necessarily loaded with options. I used calcium for N95 i loved it it was just perfect and straight to the point. ( http://www.mtvoid.com/calcium/ )
what a good registry editor for WM ?
......eum , ill add more questions later
hope u guys can help
edit: Also how can i add more profiles ? like beep once and such ?

depending on your device
Good luck,

Welcome to xda
Firstly we have a Q&A section here on xda. if you have questions, please post them there.
Secondly:
As orb has already stated just about anything you can ever imagine can be found in the wiki, as he included some links to get you started.
Thirdly (Yes i'm getting somewhere keep reading )
Shortcuts can be created to create new sms's
you will need to know how to make .lnk files which are simply pure text files containing a path, read on here.
To make programs start up with windows a link to the program needs to be placed in the windows\start up\ folder
Try total commander for a registry editor\ advanced file explorer
For programs check freeware websites such as these.

When I bought my first PPC, I didn't have a clue on how to mod it, or do any of the cool stuff I saw other people were doing. I read the forums for a good week, and tried to find out all the info I could. Afterwards, I tried a few mods and they worked! There were a couple of times where I couldn't figure something out, THATS when I posted and asked questions that were answered by forum members. You have to do some reading, research & experimentation about things first, you can't just post a general question and expect everyone to spoon-feed you the information. Read a few threads dealing with how to do what you want to do, use the search, and you will see someone has asked the same questions you have now. Download the .CAB files you need, and happy modding!

thanks mate
all i want to know is if i am using the right software i download something name the diamondtf3d i can chage the skin but the skin comes like half way down the screen i guess that because it was design for the diamond which has a small screen so i want to know if there is a version for the blackstone

Depends on the theme. Some themes can be obtained by just replacing manilla files in your Windows folder. Search for instructions in the appropriate theme thread.
Regards,
Carty..

thanks mate
well right now i am using a program name diamond tf3d config and the themes are coming like half way in the screen can some one help me plz

can the diamond TF3D config used to edit/add themes for HTC HD / blackstone? will there be any problem?

Using a Diamond tool on your Blackstone/HD could cause trouble because the screen resolution and size are way different (Blackstone 480x800, Diamond 640x480)

sorry! my english is not good
i' want add my soft from OEM into folder in program? you know?
the same folder Muilimedia is have: WMedia, album, camera, TCPMP....
folder Utilies is have rastart, comcomander....
How do it? thanks

Do u have any idea of what SYS, XIP and OEM folders are for???
If u have, then it´s easy, just edit the proper rgu or provxml files u want.
If u don´t, then u have a lot of reading to do, and u have 2 outstanding tools for that, WIKI and the search button, it seems that lately none likes these 2, but they will prevent u, or anyone else, to ask less smart questions and fill the forum with garbage.
Cheers.

i.e. program x to folder y than put a to b .... :-(
please wait an houer than i give you language-free "how-to".
i begin to start it now..... 59 min and 59 seconds .... 58 min .....
sorry, it takes time for rendering

hello,
with two houers too late ...

ok guys few questions
so i have kitchen and i want to remove and add some apps
so i guess key is EXT folder and i delete folders(names of apps) of which apps i want toremove but how to add files??

the easiest way is if you put your files in oem\subfolder or sys\subfolder.
when cooking/flashing, the files autom. went to windows-folder.
but no links in startmenu ... make it manually with cecmd on your ppc.
not easy way but easy enough ... download packages... look for needed application and cook/flash.
now the cook-way: its your turn ... cab or oem-files.
both takes time to prepare correctly.
both ways needed utilities.
look film for minimum needed and how-to it.
but i say to with respect:: if you dont understand this or film than you have to read/study a little bit more.
keywords are: cabtooem, yapi, registry - rgu - p*xml, packages

... and will you provide us the video codec you used to produce the avi? It's called tscc (TechSmith Screen Capture Codec) and is not very common. Please provide just the codec and not the whole screencapture application. Thanks.
cheers

change avi to flash. try next time kmplayer or download codec.
the tscc is free and to find with google and download takes 2 minutes of your life.
BUT THE FILM IS ONLY FOR LOOKING AND GENERALL UNDERSTANDING ABOUT COOKING. THE SPEED INSIDE FILM TAKES ME IN LIFE SIX SEVEN MONTH BY UNDERSTANDING COOKING.
it shows all parts of cooking but not talking inside and not detail-love but short-love.

IPone type apps for HD

I look at some of the apps they advertise on TV for the IPhone and wonder if the same are avalible for my HD , are there any web sites anyone knows of as I am strugging to find any??
Thanks
Martyn

The answer is YES and NO.
just name the applications, that's the only way we can help you...

Yep, if you just tell us what kind of app, the chances are that there is a winmo version (except maybe some games)

[Idea] Separate Panels for Sense and Titanium

Well I'll keep it short .....
Recently devs here on xda released an app that would switch with the press of a button between Sense and Titanium....
Since the average xperia user's dream is to be able to have a separate panel for sense and one for titanium I was asking myself if smn into panel developing could develope two "FAKE" panels that by triggering the application would create the illusion of having two panels....
Like panel A >>>> triggers app>>>>triggers titanium
panel B>>>> triggers app>>>>>triggers sense
I believe it's doable and even easy but i dun ave the time to make it myself...nor i have the space on my HDD to install visual studio
Lemme know whatcha think guys !!
Cabs for the app can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5222980

WoW no one singe reply !?? ...ne body likes the idea ??
Whatever... guess i'll have to work this out myself...i'll have to learn how to use the panel dev tools first....if i achieve what i have in mind i'll share it

Good one
Actually your idea very good, just X1 user getting less now..

EXE Panelizer can link any app to panel.

You're talking bout the one by sony ericsson requiring Visual Studio right ??
If yes i already downloaded both the panelizer and visual studio...I'm just waiting to have some free time and start on it....thedarkness which is the creator of the app shown his will to help create single executables ....so might be near...hope ppl find this interesting really, though i'll do it anyway cuz i like it

Just an EXE-panelizer's example cab. Only PanelManager\Panels entry should be edited.
However, I don't think it will help us.

It does seem like people are migrating out of Xperia and into other devices, but I am more thrilled about my X1 now than when I got it. X2 panels and task manager along with new possibilities for making panels (new Visual Studio panelizers) make this an awesome device now. Oh well, hopefully we'll keep some of the talent in the Xperia section because we still got some great rippers and chefs.
Anyway, yes is awesome idea. I used the Second Today HTML panel, and I made a customized one for myself, but ultimately HTML panels are a clumsy implementation.
I would be thrilled if you get get this done, but I believe you will have to do a DLL panelizer. I am pretty sure titanium is run through a DLL.
Just my two cents, since I don't code (I can only script), and have only made HTML panels (which I hate).
Good luck! I'll be keeping an eye out

would be really cool! I hope you'll get this to work mate, I really do!

any help?
hi there dark, im currently using TF3D detacher to switch between sense 2.5 and titanium on the latest valkyrie v5.5 and its lightning fast. It has seperate exe's for showing sense and hiding sense (i think. It has seperate shortcuts but im sure ive seen the exe before in program files or windows folder). I thought this might be of some help to you. Maybe not! Id like to switch sense and titanium via a panel too! Hope you can solve this, regards b

Hey DarkHalf - how's progress? I'm looking for exactly this kind of thing.

I also think this is a good idea! But I just don't have the skills to do it myself...

Im working on app that will allow you to simply switch between TF3D/Sense, SPB Mobile Shell and Panels.
Im trying to make it work on panel key, so there is one key that allows you to switch today screens.

Im working on your suggestion now.
Im trying to achieve with .NET program + mortscript from link you given.
Maybe i will release it soon, but there is lot of work to do because sense and panels dont like each other.

WoW gr8 news !! I hope you really achieve this !!
I gave up because of the huge amount of dev tools needed and my lack of programming knowledge ...hope you better lucck than mine....
I think the mortscript should link to the switching app exe and then revert to the today screen, but most probably you've already thought of that
