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

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.

just edit the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner\Hide" to 0. It'll show up in the settings screen again.

Thanks
Anyone know how to save the default file type for contacts to display first name then last name?
+1 for that
You can change that in Outlook!
Here you go try this. Found It awhile ago but not to sure where in the threads. All credit goes to the author

That won't work for contacts I add manually on my phone or when someone sends it to me via bluetooth.

Just use the CAB that Zelendel posted above. It's by Shubaroo. Works great and has been around for quite sometime.

There is an avatar and a profile picture, profile pic is for your profile while avatar is for the forum. Look around the User CP
How many posts is needed to be able to add an avitar, I've searched and checked all forums I could and really haven't. Been able to find the answer I'm looking for
Nevermind I found out what I needed to know
what size i need?
after you hit new text the RECENT tab can be found.
i cant figure out how to erase items from the list, i'd rather just have the people i consistently talk to. anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks
I don't believe you can remove the RECENT button, if that's what you're asking
you're best bet is to create a group for the people you talk to the most
I'm thinking you could flash over the DK28 stock text ap and it would work for you.
I have not tried yet but I really want to it sucks you can't save pictures anymore...
what do you mean you can't save pics?
I save pics all of the time, the only strange thing is
when I save my pics now, they all save with the same file name
w/an extension: (1), (2), (3), etc
you have to tap and hold on the pic, check the box, and click save
if that's what your issue is

yes i've found few threads can you tell how exactly it works ? as i was unable to understand anything
You may want to see xda's video on how to setup. It is just basic but it might help. Look in YouTube as well.
Honestly I don't understand it as well.

will give it a try
