Hello!
Could somebody please tell me how to hide the sreenrotation icon using regedit? Are there any websites listing regestry hacks?
Cheers,
helterSkelter
It sure would be great if questions were followed by a question mark...
As it is, a lot of postings seems like people offering solutions judging from the subject line, when they are in fact asking for help. It's confusing as well as time wasting, since it attracts the wrong readers to the threads...
Remove your rotate screen
-Use a registry editor and open:
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINCE\Services\ScreenRotate
-Change ShowIcon from 1 to 0.
-Soft-reset
-Enjoy

This is my little CAB file which i run when doing a clean install (after hard reset)
Thanks a lot for the help danr and ampda!
HBK: your post was a bit out of place, cos if 'the wrong readers' were 'looking for a solution' they would of found it here anyway. Questionmark or not. :wink:
No, it wasn't out of place, and it has been mentioned a gazillion times before, as all regulars know.
Some people have more time than others. Quite a few of us have to skip the threads, where the subject line doesn't have an immediate appeal. That's actually why we have the subject lines in the first place. That's just a fact of life, and it goes for all message boards, not just this one.
This thread has right now had 141 reads and 2 replies to your question. What does that tell you?

Have you read the thread titled: 'Please read this before posting'? Amongst other things, it contains this text...
2. Use a clear subject
So you're going to post a message, and need to think of a subject. Try to keep in mind that many people actually use that subject to determine whether they will even look at your message.

Hello.
This is a question for the moderators.
I noticed that I can't find my posts from the Wizard->Wizard forum Discussions.The posts are relatively new.
The threads appear when I search for them and they are marked like they belond to the "Wizard" Discussions ,but I can't see them in the when I navigate the usual way.
Some examples are :
-Post your Battery mA consumption. This may help solve battery problems...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298682
-Predictive text in hardware keyboard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296459)
The posts are there, but are hidden from public eye.
I think the "Post your Battery mA consumption" thread is usefull to some users.
Is there any reason for this? Or is something in the forum rules that I did not understand?
Thanks for the great job you're doing keeping the forum
I've also noticed. it seems that only the last days posts are active...
at the bottom of the page there are settings to display posts from a certain time. I think by default they are set to "last day"
Go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
change "default thread age cut off" to whatever you like.
thanks, i never noticed that. i wonder why all the other threads are different by default
Thanks supercbuk.
I guess this was it..
I was using the "Default forum setting"
Maybe the default setting should change from the moderators .
A lot of information is being lost thatway and a lot of people might ask the same questions again.
I've been searching for days now, and can't seem to figure out why the icons are all mixed up...
Is there anyway to alphabetize the icons in the start menu?
I have a bunch of games loaded in a games folder and it's all mixed up, any ideas?
I tried searching the site and even googled it and all I came up with was a registry edit, but I don't have the key they say to edit.
I even tried deleting the folder and putting the icons back one at a time, in alphabetical order, but they still end up mixxed. ??

You seem to be new to the forums. Thank you for joining XDA-Developers.
Please take a minute to go over the Rules and Regulations of the forum.
Also, it seems that you are a Blue Angel owner, in which case I will encourage you to go over the BA forum regulations here
For questions, please use the search function in the site or simply Google for an answer. More than likely, your question has probably been answered before and the answer is floating around somewhere in the site. That being said, unless you are contributing to the site with either skins, roms, ports, new applications, programs, games, etc., please [highlight]do not[/highlight] open new threads. However, if you do have questions, you can post them either in the BA Q&A section or in the General Q&A section.
Thanks.
I did search the forum, and I googled it... I'm new to this forum, but not computers or the internet, I know how to search, been doing it since 1988.
I posted this question in the Q&A thread, but it was ignored, so I posted in the general forum.
Sorry If I offended you, but I never received a response to my question, I figured somebody else here was experiencing the same problem, maybe not.

It isn't a matter of me being offended, I am (as well as others) trying to keep some order in the forums. I do know that sometimes questions in the Q&A don't get answered right away, but if someone from the Q&A team (or other members out there) know the answer, they will reply. Maybe the reason why your question wasn't answered is because no one really knows the answer (or has bothered looking into it). You getting annoyed at the way the forums are handled does not give you the right to say "screw it, I'm opening a thread(s) anyways". On top of that, remember that not a single member in this site is forced to give you an answer. We all do it out of trying to help each other out since we are a community.
All of us have to abide by the site's rules.
Last but not least, this is a General Question (like you stated earlier) and not a device specific question. All I am saying in my previous post is "please follow the rules". If you searched earlier and posted the right questions in the right places, then either be patient or pm someone. Most of us are happy to help.
Anyways, now to your question. The way in which WM is designed, the application icons normally get a "first come, first serve" position. In other words, they are placed in chronological order of installation (at least in "Program Files"). I do not know if there is a way to organize the WM menus so that they will show apps in alphabetical order.
What you can do is look for a launcher or a replacement for the Program Folders (look in the Dev and Hacking sections for these). These normally organize the icons alphabetically and they are shown in a list format rather than a grid. I do agree with you though, it is pretty disorganized.... but then again M$ doesn't really care about the alphabet
Hope this helps...

I recently had this issue with the new AT&T Fuze ROM. Check around in your PROVXML files for anything similar to the code below. Note: This example code is from an AT&T ROM, but you may find something similar. If you do, delete it, and everything will return to standard Alphabetical order.
Code:
<!--334.08_Program menu order-->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu">
<parm name="order" datatype="multiplestring" value="MEdia Net Home.lnkAT&T MallAT&T MusicGames & AppsMessagingAT&T GPSAlbum.lnkActiveSync.lnkToolsCellular Video.lnkWindows Media.lnkPush to Talk.lnkOpera Browser.lnkInternet Sharing.lnk" />

I figured that was the case, so I deleted all the icons in the folder, then copied them back from my PC, in alphabetical order, and they still ended up scrambled, M$ blows.
egzthunder1, you are f*cking idiot :/ i hate people like you :/ look. how loong it takes you to write that kind of sh*t? If you don't know the answer, don't write anything. If you want to make some new posts, there is off-topic thread. Everyone, at the beggining, is a begginer! It's not his guilt, so help him if u can, but don't do that sh*t :/ what a stupid country :/ & what a f*cking pommy :/ i'm proud i'm from PL
In WM6.5, you have option "move to the top" in start menu, if u tap and hold on icon, so u can sort all your icons, one by one.
Also you can use other launchers, which are more configure able.
btw sorry for bad english
MOD EDIT: The profanity is not needed. First warning... next step is a 3 day vacation.
I fugured it out...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Games
That's the folder I put all the games in, and inside that registry key was a bunch of .lnk entries corresponding to the games I had installed, each key had a rank, so I took the largest number of the key, and put that on the first icon, then in alphabetical order I changed the rank of each of the .lnk keys, decreasing by one as I went down the list, soft boot, now the folder is exactly how I wanted it.
Thanks

Let's watch the personal attacks. Regardless of how you feel about egzthunder1 reply, there is no place for your post either. It serves no purpose other then to incite a fight.
While egzthunder1 could have said what he did in a couple different ways, he is not wrong in pointing members (new OR old) to the rules of XDA-Developers. He did not berate the OP in any way; he simply informed him of the policies in place here that require a member (again, new OR old) to search prior to posting in an existing thread, or creating a new one.
Q&A sections are popping up in just about every forum because of an experiment done in the Raphael section that was a complete success. In case you may have missed it, the forum rules have recently been updated. I quote:
Flar said:
1. Search before posting
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.
There is no need for cursing, flaming, racism or personal attacks. There are a lot of different nationalities on this forum all with different cultures, this means that no matter what you're like, you'll have to adjust to people that are most definitely not like you. It will gain you a lot of respect if you help to keep the peace. It's disrespectful and therefore not permitted to create Alias Member names in an attempt to deceive others.

So let's keep it clean going forward. If you have an issue with a member, take it to PM, or contact any of the moderators.
Thank you,

NotATreoFan, i don't think that it's wrong, what he wrote, but it's matter of moderators and admins to worry about such things. thats all from me ;]

@weteran,
While I don't necessarily appreciate the insults, particularly considering that I have not offended you (or even talked to you), I will say that if I have spoken badly in any manner, then point me at it and I will gladly apologize to the OP for my mistake. However, if I didn't, then why do you insult me?
I am not going to start a discussion with you (or a flame war). While it is true that I don't always know all the answers, at least I try to help or point people in the right direction to solve their problems. I do this because I love this community and its members and I have been helped countless times, so really it is my way of giving back.
@NATF,
Since the OP seems to have solved his issue, do you think that you could close this thread to keep it from growing needlessly? Thanks for your words
Issue resolved, closing thread.
Well, I've been checking the forum everyday. Sometimes I post a thread and it is really difficult to find it afterwards. Does the forum have some kind of notifications when others reply your post?

Kind sir,
The forum does have a "subscribe to thread" option which can be accessed by clicking the "subscribe to thread' button located at the top of each thread near the page results navigator. Therein you can choose to be notified instantly, daily or weekly, as threads are replied to. A link to the reply will be included in the e-mail.
A second option is for you to click on your name after the 'Welcome' at the top of the page. If you click on the tab "statistics" you will be able to view all posted made by you in any thread, and clicking on that post will take you to the thread.
Hope this helps!
I haven't used this Forum for at least 6 months now. I didn't know what I was doing half the time back then and now I've forgotten almost everything I did know. But the one thing I remember is that once I posted something it was near impossible to find it again (especially if a couple days had gone by). Is there another way to find your post apart from scrolling through days of posts looking for your own. Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but I have asked this same question in the past and never really got a satisfactory answer. Thanks. i look forward to the answer. thanks again.
click your name in teh top right, takes you to your profile, and you can view ''all threads started by '.
also, find any actual post youve made and theres a dropdown to the left of your name and one of teh options is find all posts by.
( i think you can subscribe to threads too, and then use quicklinks to list your subscribed threads, but ive never used it, , techno luddite, me )
Is it possible that I'm this dumb but when I click in my name and go to my profile I do not see ''all threads started by '. And the only thing left of my name are the butons for RSS, Facebook, You tube, etc. Where am I going wrong? Thanks.
Click on your name, then on the statistics tab which enables you to find all of the posts you've made, all of the threads you've started and all of your thanked posts.
