photo as background in jasjar

hi everybody.
do you know how to remove (registry?) that light translucent white layer that stay over a picture if we choose for a photo as background?
thank you,

easy one. go to Programs, pictures & Videos, find the picture you want then in the menu bar you will see an option to Set as today wallpaper. Click on it And it will give you transparency level.

No, I intend to remove the transparency. I'd like to see the picture as is, non translucent. I'll choose for a photo that allow me to read the fonts...

so if you follow admisi's steps, then set transparency level to 0%, that is what you get

sure... i never tried to do it from there... sorry.
some more tips, please... :shock:
how can i remove programs from the "program" list? i uninstalled etrust antivirus, but it keeps to show in programs...
one more... i found that if i uncheck to put the device in sleep mode "after x minutes" under "energy->advanced" it's really faster, especially after long times of inactivity, but it spend much more battery. do you have the same impression?
thank you,

Not all programs uninstall completely I'm afraid. The items you see in Programs are in
\windows\start menu\programs
For the programs that remain even after they've been uninstalled, you can manually delete the shortcuts by navigating to the above folder and deleting them in File Explorer - or via Windows assuming you're synced to your PC.
I have heard that unticking the power saving options increases performance, but I haven't tried it myself.
Cheers

thank you, done.
do you think that mantain opened many apps could use up battery?

Guys,
Is there a way to set a picture as your background? IE. so you just have the pic and the start menu rather that the screen split into 2 with icons, etc everywhere!
Cheers,

I think what you mean is that you want to get rid of all the Today Items.
So go to Start, Settings, Today....then to the "Items" tab, and untick everything. This will leave you with a blank Today Screen with just Start Menu and your wallpaper.

Perfect thanks! Now how about the left hand menu? Messages, calls, etc.

Getting rid of the bottom of the today screen

Hi,
I've looked, clicked and sworn at it, but I just don't know how to get rid of the small bar at the very bottom of the today screen, just above the softkey indicators. At the moment it just has the (standard t-mobile) mini battery icon and the mini connection icon.
I've got no idea where the controller for this part of the today screen is. I'd really love to get rid of it altogether and have a few extra pixels for pocketplus. It just seems to be totally wasted screen real estate for me. I see other people have got useful stuff in this area, if there's a personalisation programme out there for it, please hit me up.
Cheers,
Chris

If you just want to remove those icons - which removes the tray as well - see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40133
If you want to remove it altogether, try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331
And if you want to customize the tray with icons to specific apps, try "PHM TrayLaunch" - it's part of the PHM PowerToys - can probably be ripped out somehow and made stand-alone.

Sorry guys, ToggleToday is still WM2003 only right now. I'll update as soon as I get a few minutes. It's complicated to write, since the tray gets refreshed on screen rotations etc. And I'm just too busy to deal with it properly right now Soon...

Hey, thanks very much guys

PHM TrayLaunch looks like a very useful app, but I'm struggling to successfully add programs/icons. For example, if I want to have ActiveSync as one of the icons in the tray, does anyone know what should be entered as the "target"?

I'm afraid I don't have my phone in front of me, but trying navigating through your \windows\start menu and checking the properties for existing shortcuts.
Eg Find activesync, display properties, and it will display the target for the shortcut. That's your baby.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to display properties for a shortcut - Explorer's "tap & hold" menu only allows you to cut/copy/paste etc - there's no "properties" window like there is on normal PC-Windows.

Fork, try gsfinder or another explorer replacement.
Also try having a read through this:

Thanks Vijay, I've downloaded Resco Explorer 2005 but cannot find the ActiveSync shortcut anywhere on my device! Does anyone know what the shortcut is to start ActiveSync?

It's not obvious!
\windows\replog.exe
V

Thanks for the reply Vijay, but replog.exe doesn't exist anywhere on my device.

Sorry, missed one letter
"\windows\repllog.exe" on my Universal.
V

Thanks Vijay, bizarely repllog.exe doesn't show up in my Windows folder using Resco Explorer, but setting this as the path gives me an ActiveSync icon in the tray - so it's obviously finding it.
Unfortunately, clicking the icon doesn't launch ActiveSync. It briefly displays "Connect to" in the top title bar before disappearing, and the Today page remains onscreen all the time.
Any other suggestions you can think of?
Thanks,

Fork, it depends on what state the activesync app is in at the time. It doesn't always like to show itself in my experience as well. Not entirely sure why. Sometimes when you're disconnected it will show, sometimes when you're connected it'll show?
In resco, ensure you're displaying hidden files, system files and rom files.

Thanks Vijay, I hadn't spotted that option in Resco Explorer - it shows up now.

Touch Commander totally messed up my phone

I installed Touch Commander, as the adverts looked promising, but I did not like it at all and uninstalled it immediately. Unfortuntely it has changed the way my Start menu looks, now the list is longer and the program names are smaller, also the list of the last used programs has disappeared completely. This is a nasty little program which also left a hand icon in my windows settings, which, when i click it gives me an error message. Could anyone please help me get the original start menu back? I couldn't find anything in Settings, it must have modified a registry setting.

to enable thr large start menu setings/system/touchflo/ then check large start menu. as for the hand i have no idea

Thanks mate, that did the trick, it also disabled other things but I managed to restore them. The hand icon in the settings doesn't bother me too much.

Hidden Programs

Hey
Have been tooling around on my D2 for a large portion of the day and in particular looking for a way of mapping the save location for .wavs generated by the In-call Recorder but no such luck.
In the process I have found the following programs that are located in the Windows folder but don't appear to be connected to the HTC front-end:
Taskmgr
The WM6.1 version I suspect which can identify Activesync running in the background and also shows processes.
Field Test
Shows loads of data re radio and comms.
Hot Voice
Has a little cassete tape for an icon. Doesn't appear to respond to tapping.
Sim Lock
Has a little key in a circular barrel for an icon. Doesn't appear to respond to tapping.
Restore GPS
Has a little Sat' dish for an icon. Doesn't appear to respond to tapping.
Voicemail
Loads what appears to be a list for visual voicemail! A menu has options for 'Call Back', 'Reply' and 'Forward'. Doesn't appear to be configurable though. I did, however, find a reg' edit for 'Vmail' where you can enter two phone numbers at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\. Entering my number or the message centre number didn't seem to have any effect though but then I don't really know what I'm doing!!
Thoughts anyone??
I'm running the Stock ROM 1.39.405.3 (49068)WWE - 16/06/09
Radio: 3.43.25.19

Can no-one shed any light on any of these? I would have thought the idea of a visual voicemail would have got someone's juices flowing!

Try this! (more stuff added)

Ok, by now you probably know HTC's nice text selection tool. To use it, write some words in a HTC application (like the text message composer), then tap-and-hold somewhere in the text. You get one handle to move around, or two if you want to select a precise part.
But there's more. Change "HKLM/Software/HTC/TextSelection/EnableMagnifier" from 0 to 1. Now activate the text selection tool again as described above and try moving the single handle around...

Nice catch. Can be helpful in tight selections. I've been looking through the reg. So much stuff disabled... Why does HTC do this? They could've placed it as an option on SMS menu...

Thanks. Added to tips thread.

Maybe they disable it so we at XDA have something to do until HSPL is released

Some other simple but cool things I discovered:
* You can use the album app to crop pictures. Just pinch-to-zoom until the part you want fills the screen, then tap the screen, tap the icon on the bottom right and choose the second option from the menu. In Dutch it's called 'Schermafbeelding opslaan'. It will save a cropped copy of your pic.
* Here's a registry entry I found: "HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/InternetPush/EnablePushInternet". It's set to 0 by default. I'm not really interested in push internet, so I haven't experimented with this, but it seems you can enable it if you want.
* Sometimes touch scrolling gets in the way of selecting text. If you want to select text, the solution depends on the context, but to start you just tap-and-hold anywhere:
-- In Opera, you can switch text selection on/off in the context menu;
-- In some apps (like while reading an e-mail message) you get a pop-up menu where the first option is 'make selection' ('selectie maken' on my Dutch device);
-- In Word, just before the pop-up menu appears, you see this: '[T]'. As soon as it appears, move your finger and you'll be able to select text!
* If you like the Footprints app but prefer full size pictures to those square 'polaroids', there's an option to save a full sized copy whenever you create a 'Footprint' (Footprints tab -> Menu -> Settings).
* The 'me' entry in the People app stores your 'owner' info. I know this is widely known by now, partly because I've been posting it everywhere, but I still see so many people complaining they can't register their applications (Resco stuff, SKtools)... because the can't find the old owner info icon. I have registered both Resco Explorer and SKtools perfectly fine without ever bringing the owner info icon back.

I haven't ever been able to get the Text Selection sliders to work on a custom rom even after setting the registry value to 1.
This is an awesome feature and I can't understand why it doesn't work.

you know it only works in text messaging, right? (well, some other htc apps too, apparently, but i couldn't name another one i've seen it in)

Yes of course... I'm aware that it only works in the realm of Sense specifically mail and text. I can do the standard selection thing but I just can't seem to get the sliders.
Any ideas?

hmm, well a common mistake I've come across a few times is people not pressing select the first time.
firstly go type some text into a new text message. (not sure where the idea it works in email came from, certainly doesn't on mine.)
ok, press and hold should bring up a cursor and the words "select|select all.
use the single sljder to set the start(or end, whichever) press 'select' nd now a second slider should join the first, enabling you to select.

Thanks for the responses guys, but as it turned out, I didn't realise that Energy ROMs are stripped of the HTC Messaging Module and that seems to be the only place where this 'feature' works.
It's a shame that's it's not available system-wide considering how easy it makes life.
I installed the HTC Messaging Client and voila, it was it there! but that excitement was short lived considering how bad HTC's messaging client is.

hah couldn't agree more. with the magnifier too its great ,, just never gets used.
