If you have an advanced task manager like CeleTask, make sure that you have SMSCReceiver.exe running in the Processes window. If not, then don't worry because it automatically starts when your device boots up. If you have terminated it, reboot your device before continuing.
Open the PHM Registry Editor and go to...
HKLM > SOFTWARE > HTC > My5 > SMSC > CmdGet > StateRequest
Open value ClientService and change the value from 0 to 1.
Open value My5UI and change the value from 0 to 1.
You should see the popup that myFaves is On.
Enjoy.
The only problem now is that myFaves disables itself when it realizes you don't have the service.

If the status of the contact is changed from 3 to 1 in the registry, Myfavs can be used without having the service.

As soon as I added a contact to the list, my Dash started an EDGE session, connected to the T-Mobile server, and removed the UI from my Start Menu. Oh well.

you have to do all the editing of contacts from the registery other wise tmo will just delete it

Sucks!!
JAmerican

they are right you have to add all the information for your 5 contacts in My5 > My5App just set the name you want for the person and they're number, you can change/add they picture from the my5 program, after adding all the info you want on all your 5 people just check and double check the Value "State" for each contact... Making sure that every Contact State is set to 1 not 3. pretty self explanitory program i guess... if 3 it checks the status over the network, if set to 1 it thinks it has already been checked and is good to go....

Wow. Sneaky ****.

The My5 Faves Hack!
Works like a charm! Guy, I'm sending you a high 5..!

Faves - how to?
Folks - I do not have some of the registry entries that you refer to - on my Wing. Can someone give a set-by-step "How to" to accomplish this including the registry entries that need to be there and there values?
Thanks,
Shep

I have done what was mentioned above and what you have mentioned here, but it will not "stick" in a soft reset. I have to go through some of the step again to get it to come back up. Did I miss something? Is there another step? I added my 5 in the registry as you said - activated and all works well until I reboot.
Thanks ahead of time for any insight you can give!

Change the look of myfavs
Is there a way to put a skin on the myfavs app. I hate the 3d icons, I want to change it to static pictures like the htc touch "cube" fav dialer, does anyone know how this can be done.
also turning the 3d off should make the app use less memory which would be a good thing.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

My5UI Must Be Added In As A dWord

The reason you don't see the My5UI is because it has to be added in as a dword, but all the instructions for unlocking My5Favs given here are correct. Now if you want My5Favs to remain as your homescreen after a soft reset, then you must move the My5FavsMsgCenter to the \Windows\ folder

I'm trying to add my first MyFav, but it seems to be authenticating over the network and hanging. Guess I can't prevent that? I'm unlocked, on AT&T.

Before you soft reset your device, make sure everything is correct, but on the page where the My5UI is, make sure all 3 dwords value =1 and before you soft reset move the My5FavsMsgCenter to the \Windows\ folders, now you can soft reset and your 5Favs will only come back on the blue default Homescreen.!

I don't have a My5UI. Do you mean My5App? Under that I have Contact_0, _1, ...

I got the steps to work out fine, WM6 was being stupid when Moving the My5favsmsgcenter file, but got it some how.. since i have it now on the Homescreen, does that mean i can use the service for FREE? or does that just mean its available for convience?

Where are the plugins located

Im using Kavana Ricky's remade.
Have just made an error on CHome customise of Programs.
I changed the Plugin icons: Location istead of the Picture location now i don't have the programs bar on home screen.
Can someone please provide location.
Thanks in Advance.

Try this.
Start menu -- My Tools -- Configurator -- and click on the plugin you want to show. It's probably just hidden. You can also move up or down which ever one you want.

That just changes the picture of the app your displaying had done them all then messed up.

I believe you will have to find the image you want or originally had for your programs panel and put it in your windows folder. Then find the path somehow and type it in. Like I said I don't know, but tried. I would wait for a mod to help or someone with more experience.
Good luck and keep me posted.

Update Re Flashed.
Solved.

Can't access the TouchFlo3D settings!

It's not highlighted for me to get into the options when I go to "Today" then "items". When I press the start menu I get the drop down instead of the touchflo one.
Unless their is another way.

I imagine there's a registry edit you could do, where? I have no idea. I haven't bought mine yet, just didn't want a thread to go unposted

Thanks for the reply man! I hope someone knows.

There aren't any settings for TFLO3D2 in there. You can however un grey the option button (it won't do anything cause there aren't any settings for it) by going to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO 3D (not the one in quotes)\ in the registry and setting the key options to 1 instead of 0.

Ok so I guess I need a registry editor. What is the best one to get and are they free?

I have CeRegEditor. I find it easy to use, pretty basic, and user friendly. Im sure there are better ones out there. but if you're gonna use it like i do, just for basic edits, this will suffice nicely.
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?id=3&lang=en
theres the link for it.
gonna try this RegEdit right now, and ill post back for ya. :].

It looks like it's for the PC. Is their one I can do straight from the phone?
EDIT: I got an error after it installed...
"Unhandled exception raised! Error message: Failed to set data for " " Then it would opens, should I be worried?

No problem.
There are some setting for TFLO3D2 in the registry though.
Look here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\
And here:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\

its for your phone. Just click on the orange phone in the upper left hand corner to connect your phone to the program. and then youll be available to see all of the keys. and then you can edit the registry from there.

Wierd things with windows 6.5

Hey all,
Asking for help AGAIN!!!
I installed the windows mobile 6.5 update yesterday evening.
All in all i think it's fantastic, still falls behind some OS's but its a great update.
I have a couple of questions thought, and i'm hoping that someone can help.
the first one, i hope is just me not seing something.
on the start screen (after hitting the windows key) i think the new display is great, but i can find a way to move them about and personalise it so the prograns i want are where i want them. how do i do this?
the second is a little more complicated i think. I recently bought g-alarm(which i love) but to register it, you need an owner name on the phone's system.
I cant findwhere to change the owner name on WM6.5, i can change the device name easy. but i cant find the owner name anywhere.
any enlightenment would be great.
Thanks guys
TM411

I assume you mean the honeycomb start menu. In order to change them or move them around you need to tap and hold on the icons.
To set owner name is Start/settings/personal/owner information

Press and Hold the icons to move them.
Try this CAB to enable the owner info, just install and reset.

Is there a way to add/remove Icons from the start menu?

Thanks Guys
I did try the hold and move, but the only option i get is to move to top.
is this right?
the owner information button isn't in the personal setings section.
Hmmmm
what have HTCdone?
i downloaded the official upgrade from the site, surely they didnt remove important things from it?
thanks for the cab,
i shall try it later

Saying that.....
I wouldn't mind knowing if i can delete stuff from the start screen.
Not sure i need the "Getting started"
lol

Try the CAB. The fact that it's missing is a bug . See the main "Official 6.5" thread in ROM Dev.

You can drag stuff about the start menu by pressing and holding, removing stuff and adding folders is the same a Windows PC. use File Explorer to goto \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

No you can't. Well, at least I can't - press and hold and the only thing you can do is "Move to top".

Dave, thanks for that. I didn't realise it was quite as simple.
The icons also move about as they should with a press and hold.
Cheers

You sort of can. Here's what you need to do.
1. Go into the "\windows\start menu\programs" directory.
2. Create a folder. Cut & Paste all the shortcuts you deem unnecessary into that folder.
3. Go into the properties screen of that folder and toggle on the "Hidden" setting.
4. Soft-reset.
I've yet to find out how I can get rid of "HTC Calendar.lnk" and "HTC People.lnk". They disappear if I disable HTC Sense (ie, TF3D, Manila, etc). But they keep coming back if HTC Sense is enabled. I've tried deleting the shortcuts but they just regenerate after each soft-reset or if I disable and then re-enable HTC Sense.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

You guys are awesome
The cab worked a treat.
The start menu i shall play with later.
Thank for the help

Same for me. Sometimes I get an additional choice of 'Move Down' !! What's happening? Mine is the ATT Tilt2 4 days old . . .

I am also curious how some people are able to hold and drag. It was my understanding from reading various WM6.5 reviews that it is not possible.
For the rest of us mere mortals, I recommend JWMD Icon Changer for reordering the start menu. It has worked well for me. One thing to keep in mind though: it will not reorder any icons you've marked as "Favorite" which means when you right click and select Move To Top. If you want to be able to sort them, you'll have to un-favorite them by selecting Move Down.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I don't see the manage attachments button under the text field. I searched the FAQ, but could not find if there is some post limit/minimum before being able to do this?

You have to select edit, then select advanced edit. That should be what you're looking for.

Sorry, I'm not seeing edit or advanced edit buttons under the text field. I see Post Icons, Image Verification, and then Submit Reply & Preview Post. I tried both Firefox and Internet Explorer, even turned off ad blockers.

I just realized, you meant edit an already existing post. What I am trying to do is attach a file to a post/reply.

If you click on the reply button, it will open a new screen allowing you to write your post, above the text field you will see lots of buttons, don't you see this "manage attachment" button in this create post screen like shown in my screenshot?
The UI may differ depending on the used theme of course.

No that button is missing for me. Tried to attach a screen shot, but it won't let me do that either (only put in a URL). Tried on mobile device too, and that button is not there.

This attachment feature is not present for members below 10 posts but you are above this limit so it should be there, I don't understand. Some ideas of tests:
- wipe cache of your browser
- try Google Chrome
- try another xda theme
- wait 24h or 48h and it may be fixed by itself
- or if still not working we may need admin assistance

I've no experience with IE but I'd the same issue quite a while ago on FF when I used the add-ons uBlock Origin and NoScript. For this reason, I've created an own profile for FF to use XDA.
