[Q] Paste numbers in htc dialer (DTMF tones) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way where i can paste numbers into the dialer during a call,as DTMF tones?
I looked everywhere for this but couldn't find a way to do it,even if i force popup the swype keyboard and click paste it wont do anything (though the number is in the clipboard). i thought it would be doable cos i had n97 and it was really easy to paste DTMF tones .
Please if anyone knows how to or any hint or alternative way let me know cos i really need this feature

I needed that too. What I'm doing now is simply pasting the number of interest into ColorNote and clicking the link it turns into from there.

edit/delete contacts shortcut prefix?

I am using contact-shortcuts so I can easily call my favourites with 1 click, like this better than the peope-widget...
The only thing thats not so good, every shortcut has the prefix "call" or even worse in dutch "bellen" so you hardly can see the real name of the contact.
Anyone knows how to edit or delete this prefix? What file do I have to look for?
thx.

Basic customization for TF3D home screen

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).

Copy Paste Functionality on CM6/AOSP

Is there any way to get copy/paste functionality on a non-sense 2.2 rom. Its killing me that I dont have this, really the only thing missing from CM6 and holding me back from it as a daily driver.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Copy/paste should work just fine in CM6. Works for me, anyway.
Just long press on the text you want and you should get the menu with copy/cut options.
Not to hijack this thread, but I've asked elsewhere and there doesn't appear to be a solution but I figured I'd give the inquiry another go...
Is anyone aware of a method to use either a multitouch keyboard or perhaps a specific pinch/zoom gesture to copy/past/cut text on the fly?
I really miss being able to do so easily on my G1's physical keyboard...and highlighting specific text with the trackball.
maybe i am a roflcopter, but I cannot get a copy paste prompt to open after a longpress? Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Where are you trying to copy text from?
I am able to long-press on any text field (SMS, Address Bar, etc.) and get a pop-up menu that includes: Select text, Select all, Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.
I am running CM6 RC1 on my EVO.

You need to menu -> select text.
Swype has a fairly easy-to-use (though not as easy as SenseUI) select text method. Just Swype from the Swype key (the one in the bottom-left corner with the i above the Swype logo) to the SYM key. This will open the third keyboard in Swype; the editing keyboard.

[Q] Edit buttons

i am trying to make semitransparent/transparent keypad, logs, favourites and contacts buttons under phone/contacts but can't find png's. does anyone know exact location since google couldn't help me much. tnx.

Incoming SMS' not displaying Japanese chars??

Hello, I just purchased this device and I have a problem..
I found out that when a friend of mine sends me an SMS with Japanese characters in it (or with symbols like these ★☆★), those are not being displayed as they should. They are instead replaced by question marks!!
I thought that maybe it was a font problem, but I couldn't find a way to alter the font in my phone without rooting it..!
Do you know of a way to alter this? I couldn't find something that seemed relevant in the options..
Thanks~
Do you have Japanese enabled in the settings?
It only takes 2 taps to thank somebody here.
which setting + what about the other special(?) chars?
Hello RedLedLight and thank you for the reply!!!!!!
Could you be a bit more specific? Which settings are you refering to? There's too many.. Are you refering to the system settings(where to find the one you want), or the settings of the stock messenger app?
Well, Japanese is not supported as an input method of the stock keyboard. That's why I had to download another one which would enable me to write in Japanese.. Still, I could write and send messages with Jap chars, but when I receive an SMS, then I'd just get question marks all over!
Also, any ideas as to the why those other chars are not being displayed? They're not Japanese.. In my samsung phone there's some symbols like ♡♥ºº•○●□■◇◆♧♣▲▼▶◀↑↓←→☆★▪ who ALSO appear as question marks when I send them to this phone!!! :S
