Recently used programs - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Can I somehow turn my Start Menu to be like the one in Landscape Mode (with just icons of recently used programs - not their full names)?
Is there any reg hack for this? Please help.

try uninstalling an today applet if you install to many it start to remove some from your list
i'm not really sure why but removing an applet which you dont use often make them come back
there is also a regedit way to doing it but i cant recall it
I had a problem like this when I installed My|Phone.
I fixed it by deleting an item from the list in the registry
here is the path to the registry keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items

Cheers Guys
I found the offending program, it was the MS Theme Generator (trying to design my own skin) ...
Removed that program and all is well, it has re-appeared !
BTW - anyone know what size the background skin should be ? Also - what's the best program to use to 'shrink' a jpeg to the required size ?
Many Thanks
Mark
irfanview is a good free picture viewer and edit (a bit not any photoshop but resizing is ok)
that should let you change the size of your jpg

Hacking the "Start" menu (for VGA mode)....

Hello all!
Was wondering if its possible to hack the start menu (in landscape mode) to display the same menu like in portrait mode (6 shortcuts + 4 recent + programs,settings &help menu items) instead of 6 shortcuts and "recent program icons" when using the device in VGA mode....
The start menu is soooo small and takes up just 1/2 the screen height, and i guess it can display the standard menu instead of using a smaller version...
Hey VJ, i guess you should be able to crack this one easily
Cheers!

I think it can be done, but not easily unless there's a reg setting we don't know about.
Unfortunately, the tool I need to hack this isn't available on the board yet. If and when it is, I'll try and get a bit further. I'm on holiday for a week, but after that I'll try and get it done.
I recommend SmallMenu though. I never use the start menu!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should put them in the memory cord of your phone, then click them from there.
The .CAB files should be installed FROM THE PHONE.
goodluck
Hey great work with the hacks
Thanx for sharing
Used the Soft Key app & it works great. cheers.
Problem sorted
Or some reason when I was downloading the files they were changing to .php not .cab. So with a quick change of name all working fine.
Anyone know how to change internet explorer reg back to original settings?
cheers
Dear yohanson,
Most of the tweaks for pocket ie can be easily changable within pocket ie by options menu...
Regards and thanks...
protochip,
great works !!! thanks for the "compilation"
Manage to installed :
DSP ENCHANCER -BASS&TREBLE SETTINGS
* Works very well.
SHOW CONTACTS FIRST NAME SURNAME ORDER
* Works very well.
POCKET IE TWEAKS
* Can't find where to do the changes. Unable to find the new setting in IE menu.
cheers,
Simon
brilliant
Dear simontee,
After applying pocket ie hacks there will be no new menu.I meant that if you want to go back,you can change some of the tweaks within pocket ie.For example you can change the zoom setting to larger or make fit to desktop from the menu of pocket ie.But other tweaks are directly written to registry ( cleartype, pocket ie as msie6.0, ... )
Regards and thanks...
Nice work will give them a try on my BA...
protochip...
thks for replying.... great works !!! keep it up !!!
cheers,
Simon

[help] Running Application List

Howdy all,
Just installed a few bits and pieces yesterday and (subsequently uninstalled a few of them) and have noticed the little drop down arrow in the top bar (on the far right) is missing.
I dont know what it's called, but it gives you a list of all running programs and allows you to switch to a program that has been backgrounded.
recently I installed:
Wisbar Advance 3(since removed)
Wisbar Advance Desktop 2 (since removed)
Resco Explorer
Resco Explorer Registry plugin
AEButtons (since removed)
Omniano
SSMaHo
iCOntact
iDailer
I must admit, I have been playing around with various settings and had to turn TouchFLO off in the "Today Screen" settings menu in order to get WAD to run in a semi acceptable fashion. Has that screwed me?
Settings - system- Task Manager - Button tab - Enable Quick Menu on Today Screen

Phone no longer rotating

Hi all - I just picked up a TD2 and have installed a few apps (SPB mainly) and I can no longer get my phone to rotate. Where is the setting that controls rotating of the screen?
Your hand controls the phones ability to rotate, put your phone in your hand then rotate, the phone will move the same way your hand does.......
.....sorry.....
In TouchFlo go to the Settings Tab, then scroll down to G-Sensor, here you can turn it on or off, but most people (I assume) use a third party app to control the rotation of the 'Screen', I use G-Config http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487991, I'm sure others can offer alternatives.
This link is a good place to find 'Sensor' Apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430541
I'm not seeing how you get into Touchflo to get to settings... that is where I'm stumped!
Ok, Touchflo is the flippy clock, people, messages etc tabs, I assume you have this unless you've disabled it and are using another program 'Mobile Shell' comes to mind, or you've reverted to the standard Today screen.
If you have the tabs as described, move to the far right selection, if you don't, please describe you setup and programs you've installed which have stopped it rotating.
You hit the nail on the head - I installed Mobile Shell and that is when I noticed I lost the rotating functionality.
Try installing G-Config, it might work, I don't know if the TD2 needs Touchflo running to enable rotate, I woulnd't think so, installing a program like G-Config might make it rotate (you'll need to select the apps to rotate with the program)
