Quick question - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just bought the HTC Desire, and I can see that it has 3 extra windows to the left and right (where i can add widgets...shortcuts etc)
I have left 2 blank, can i delete or hide them? So I don't need to scroll through them?
Thanks.

cant remember how it was in the default sense, but pretty sure theres a setting somewhere letting you change the number of the screens from 7 to i.e. 5

That is exactly what I'm looking for!
Please try and remember lol...

Don't think you can do this through Sense UI but you can set the number of screens using a launcher like Launcher Pro.

Why don't you put the two empty ones at the ends, then you have no problems. (I know it isn't exactly the solution you are looking for, but it can help in the meanwhile)

You could even give Zeam Launcher 1.5.1 a try, looks quite nice and you can set 3 to 9 screens.

Is there a way to have more than 2 sites in the App Tab?

Hi everyone,
i have a lot of apps on my htc touch hd but i want to have all my favorite apps in the app tab in TouchFlow3D. Now i have reached the end of the possible icons there.
My question is, is there a way to have more than 2 sites of icons in these tab?
thanks

is there realy no way?
I think I read here how you can add some more shortcut locations in the programs tab, but I can't find it anymore. I just tried searching the forum. Maybe someone else knows where it was. Or you can try searching again. I think the post said something about 2x12 locations (which is what it has by default) or 4x6 or something like that. If I find it, I'll post back.
Hmm, well I found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455138&highlight=programs+tab
where they can add 6 more slots, but it doesn't seem to work properly.
One suggestion for you in the mean time is to delete the first six shortcuts that came as default. They are actually locked so you can't delete them, but you can change that in the registry.
Go to:
HKLM - Software - HTC - Manila - ProgramLauncher
There you will find 24 directories for the 24 shortcut locations.
The first 6 (so 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) have a value of 1 in the "read only" section. Change that to 0. Now you can go to the programs tab and erase those and then add other ones that you want.
I'm also curious if you can add more shortcut locations. Hopefully someone else will know if it is possible.
EDIT: Wow - this was my 100th post and now I am a "senior member". Hurray, I'm moving up in life!

20 contacts on Sense 2.5

Is there any cab available to turn the 15 contacts icons on the "contact" tab of the new Sense 2.5 to 20 icons? I'd like to have more people in there.
I would second that
the shortcuts are little too big for me
and needs to be more
+ 1
If there is a cab for it I would love to have it
Should be possible, but don't know how. They got it working for the shortcuts on the homescreen also.....
+1 WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS!
Please some1 should be able to do this if they can do it for quick links.
i am waiting for it too!
Bump to the top pls develupers!
Unsure if this is possible. Maybe to increase to add more to it.. but not the resize.
Once you resize.. (such as the 4 on home page...) you cannot add contacts with pictures. It simply shows a blank pic. Program Icons show ok... not contacts..
this would be nice, also the program launcher on the home screen could be more than just the 9

Using miri rev 11 contact pics showed correctly when using the extra shortcuts on homescreen.. but unfortunately not in the later builds...
Anyway i would also like extra contacts or resized would be even better
+1that would be good to have
What about this? Not exactly what you want, but what goes

avatar is nice...but only 12 icons...
My contacts tab in Manila si disabled and I use Iconsoft PhonEx. You can put so many contact pictures as you like and slide them up and down
..........
that looks like another nice app...but $25 USD for an app that shows icons on the screen ??!!! That's too high for ANY pda software in my opinion - it should come with a lifetime supply of chocolate bars!
I ask the question;
People buy a pda for many reasons but for most people one of those reasons is to communicate with their contacts. Why then should we have to pay extra money for software that simply displays a good viewable list of our contacts?? The real answer is we shouldnt. If I get spare time I'm going to write a .NET app that does it and providing it here for free. I hate how hard HTC have made it to customize manilla.

with froyo cn you fix the way shortcuts displayed on home screen?

can someone make it the way it used to be?
I like to add a shortcut of people on one of my home screens since I can do a 4x4 grid but now whenever i do it screws up the names.
ie it only lists the first part of the name now instead of the whole name
ie..
before I had a Rick G. Rick S.
now all it says is Rick no matter how i modify the contact card
This is a bummer. Anyone have any ideas?
Are you willing to pay for an app? There are quite a few widgets that do what you're looking to do.

[Q] Looking for a specific dock & app...

Hi every1.
I have been searching these forums and many others for a couple of hours now and I still can't find what i'm looking for. Important to note is that I am very new to all that has to do with android in general.
I was wondering if there is any application that lets me change my dock (similar to launcher pro with the ability to scroll sideway) so I can add not just icons but also folders there.
Maybe there is a way for launcher pro to make me add folders already, in that case I would like to know how. My Galaxy S is rooted but I would rather not try and mix with system files since I dont know much about such things. (if it's not very simple or well explained)
My other question is why I can't find widget locker on the android market? I tried finding it through a site called appbrain with the barcode scanner application, but that didn't help either.
Would appriciate any kind of help, i'm really at a loss here...
123 views...please any1?
If I have made myself unclear in some way please let me know, I would really appriciate any kind of help guys/gals =/
So you basically want shortcuts to folders in the dock at the bottom?
I do this by using "Apps Organizer" to organise my folders then while in launcherpro and then selecting the Apps Organizer shortcut in the dock and choosing the folder I want!
oh, so thats how it's done =P Thanks a bunch NorcoFox
That's ok, glad I could help!
Nice hint, but I would raise call
AppsOrganizer / FolderOrganizer create folders on the homescreens, together with widgets and other icons. Let's say on the "active" layer of SGS
I guess the original Tsukimiya's intent would be (well, mine IS) to have such folders/categories in the APP-DRAWER (the all together app layer, in the above notation) instead.
This would let us to categoriza ANY app in different folders. Their original icon/link, not only a copy.... Let's say just like iphone does, on its unique layer
This way I could prevent duplicating icons and forgetting newly installed apps, messed up among such alphabetic list launcherpro or adw realize.
Or, worst case, keep aligned touchwiz app-drawer pages too
Any hint existing on market ?
Till now, I only found TagHome Launcher, but it's a complete home replacement and it isn't at the quoted best-of-breed level, unfortunately
Thanks a lot
Yeah this is something I would be very interested in!
My friend was going through my app drawer and said can't you have folders to sort all of these out?

Contact/Phone.apk

hey all i have read and read and tried and tried but have come up with nothing...
maybe someone can help me out...
i am trying to get my contact and dialer background to be clear... like my status bar but i cant get it... also i am trying to remove/block favorites tab like on cm7... please can some one help me out....
i am on evervolv 2.3.2... great rom....
once again please help me and thank you in advanced...
Dialer one has an option to use your wallpaper as dialer background, essentially making it transparent. You cannot choose different levels of transparency. You also choose what screen you want as your main screen (call log, contacts, etc) and just swipe left or right to get to the next one. It doesn't get rid of favorites but the tabs are hidden.
I know this isn't really what you're looking for, but it's better than nothing I guess.
It's free in the market by the way.
