Tip : To Hide Bottom Right Rotate Screen Icon

Sory If This already been posting.
I don't know with others, for me the rotate screen icon at the bottom right very annoying when i miss tap bluetooth or others icon and suddenly my screen change rotation (got lagging) and i must tap twice to get back. So i decide to map rotate to record button (not bad, first push, the screen rotate to right and second push the screen back to potrait) and hide the icon.
Here the way to hide:
1. With regedit program go to HKLM\Service\ScreenRotate
2. Find ShowIcon
3. Change the value from 1 to 0
4. Soft Reset plz
Already try with my XDA II Mini
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Enjoy

Hehe !
Thanks for this tweak
It works for me too

Hi, how can we add new icons on the task bar below thru registry edit??
Anyone pls?

I don't know any registery edit to do that but there is a program in PHM Power Toys that does this : PHM TrayLaunch PowerToy
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

or SBSH iLauncher...

I extract PHM TrayLaunch PowerToy.
Here it is :

Screen registry rotation fix
any idea what reg setting i would have to change, to make the tray icon rotate to landscape then rotate back to portrait, instead of right, left, normal?
Speedn

After installing PHM TrayLaunch I have the following minor problem: When I soft reset, the apps I added in tray Launch show up as "folder" icons instead of their original ones. When I enter TrayLaunch I see them with their original icons. Then I press ok and then the original icons are loaded in the tray. Quite annoying to do after every soft reset. Anyone a solution?

REQ: Dialer which I can use with Fingers?

I am looking for a Dialer for Windows Mobile 5 that lets me dial contacts without the use of a stylus or without having to use the pushbuttons - just the touchscreen.
Basically I am looking for something like this - but in either english or german.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Right below your post

Thanks will give it a try!

You should use Smart dialing.It's default in wizard.

What's the difference between Smart Dialer and the one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35326
I have a Wizard, but I dont know SmartDialing...screenshot anybody?

AFAIK smartdialing is just an add on to the original phone app that lists contacts that match the nubers you have diald already. It doesent make it any easier to acctually dial the numbers. I dont use smart dialer at all, it was just in my way most of the time. So last time I did a hard reset I then followed with a soft reset at the "your device will be customized in 3 seconds" screen and then installed all the CAB's I did want manually.

I have tried almost all types of smartdialing from default one to third-party software and i strongly recommend you to use the followings:
- Imagine Finger Clix WM5 (English version)
- Inesoft Address Book
They are not free but the biggest advantages of these software are that they both allow seaching contacts with two clicks thanks to wise T9 system and they are super fast with beatiful skin
Give them a try and you would never disappoint, especially inesoft address book (don't forget to accept assigning inesoft to hot key when setup)

When you use smartdailing, just type in the name from the person you want to call and smartdailer looks it up in your contacts. This works like T9, for example push the numbers 665754 (or less when it allready in your screen) to call Molski. With this tool you don't have to know the whole phonenumber and you don't have to go to your contacts for calling.
I hope it is al little bit clear how Smartdailing works.....and I don't want working with out it any more!!

cant set Phone Pad as default input method

I tried to set the Phone Pad as the default input method by following the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
Set default SIP
The default SIP on practically every device is the Keyboard. You may prefer entry with a different SIP. If so, you can set this to be the default SIP through:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\DefaultIM = |SIP ClassID|
The |SIP ClassID| will depend on the SIP's ClassID, which may vary per-device. You can find the correct ClassID by searching for "IsSIPInputMethod" in HKCR, then going to the top key and checking the name of the SIP that's in the (Default) value.
Please note that this doesn't work with all SIPs. Transcriber/Calligrapher are two examples of this.
You can, however, set Transcriber as the default SIP by starting Transcriber.exe on startup. (This should be moved to, or added to, non-registry Tweaks page)
WARNING: Do not assume that the below ClassIDs would be -as found- on your device! Setting it to a non-existant SIP may prevent your device from booting up!
Howevere, when I did a soft reset, the screen turned white which means that the settings did not work and I hard to hard reset. Is there any other way to get Phone Pad to be the default SIP.

Have you tried Sipchange?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56053&highlight=sipchange

search the registry for "Phone Pad" to find the classID to make sure what you put in is correct. the wiki just assumes what the class id is from previous wm5 phones.

i realised that sometimes i am unable to select Phone Pad. any of you facing the same problem too?

How can I fix it?

So far, I have yet to find a solution. But if I do, I'll be sure to let you know.

alright it works now:
use this program if you have yet to do so:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56053&highlight=sipchange
and follow the instructions there, including using the " when it calls for.
now i have phonepad set as default all the way

Dear all, sorry to hijack but can someone enlighten me to how I can get the phonepad SIP into the 838Pro? I tried installing PhonePad_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC12.CAB and PhonePad_WM5_StrongARM.cab but it does not work after a soft reset.
Can someone advise me which cab file I shld use?

There are 2 phonepad CABs here, english and international versions.

@vapor:
yeah, I'm working on a version of SIPChange that will set and manage its own startup shortcut as well as allow you to change the default timeout. Getting the startup shortcut correct is one of the biggest headaches with my little app... I haven't had a lot of free cycles to devote to it lately though.

don't edit registry. it will need hard reset.
use program sipchange 1.1 or phoneAlarm
SIP need to set every reboot that bill gate brain.

ThemeGenCE doesn't make the bars black..use regedit and edit HKLM\software\microsoft\color and edit the basehue to dword 160

very nice looking themes! thanks for sharing them.

Good stuff! I love the landscape wallpaper.
one question: How do you get all the icons at the bottom of the screen by where the comm manager is normally? Please pardon the newbie question.

PHM Tray app.
it's below.
Just browse to the .exe you want and put its complete filepath. Ex: /windows/pword.exe would get the word shortcut.

Thanks Venelar! I appreciate it! less than 17 days to Halo III. woohoo!
Have a good one

Nice theme!

TSK and BaseHue

No ! It is not ThemeGenCE which is unable to make Blackbars. If you put BaseHue = 160 in the TSK, Windows Mobile when it installs the theme change the BaseHue to 137.
You have to tweak the registry after the theme is installed by tweaking the registry :
Making a cab with 160 for BaseHue and run it.
Use a registry tweaker.
Or use ThemeGenCE and go in the tab WM5, BaseHue & DPI, (make sure that before this you are connected with ActiveSync !), check the checkbox "Interaction with PDA". Click on the gray scale and move the mouse while button down and you see BaseHue changing nearly in direct. If you want to keep the BaseHue value you choose then uncheck the "Restore" checkbox.
...
Nevertheless, if you do a "Soft Reset" BaseHue is changed to 137.
From my constatations, with a TSK you have :
Any value from 0 to 240 for BaseHue in the TSK gives after theme installed : BaseHue = 137
Any value of Black in color 5 (and BaseHue not defined) gives after theme installed : BaseHue = 137
After theme installed, if you change Basehue in the registry, you can choose any value from 0 to 240.

Can you change the default Google search on the TF3D internet tab?

Anyone know how to change the default Google search on the TF3D internet tab from google.com/m to google.co.uk/m or google.co.uk? Is this a registry editor tweak as I can't find where to change it in the opera:config tweak?
Thanks.

This is not a registry setting, but set in the default htm-file loaded by Opera upon start: \windows\htc-opera.htm
Edit the file to the URL you want to have the search done:
[line 46]:
<form action="http://www.google.com/search?q=" method="get">
to e.g:
<form action="http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=" method="get">
ATT: the file is write protected, so you'll have to remove this before editing.

Umm, its a registry edit for me.
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
dword=InternetSearchUrl
to get it to what you want, put in the url you want in your PC browser, search for something, & then get copy whatever url it has. For instance, I have mine set the cab i made to go to "http://www.google.com/m/search?q=". that way it just adds whatever you search for on to the end of that string & inputs it to Opera.

Here's a good example:

Yes perfect!
I've been looking through the registry and the .hmt files for days.
Now finally the O2 start page is gone!
THX!

On the Verizon Touch Pro 2 you will need to use the registry editor of your choice and go to registry key:
HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
dword=InternetSearchUrl
"The registry is in the \\Plugins folder at the top of the root directory" Just hit the \ button at the top right of Total Commander til you see the directory then click on the directory and then the Registry directory in it.
Replace the bing.com in this key:
www.bing.com/search?q=%s
with the search engine of your choice.
For the mobile formatted Google it would look like this:
http://www.google.com/m/search?q%s
For the desktop formatted Google it would be:
http://www.google.com/search?q%s
Mobile Google looks much cleaner and it is the one I suggest. This should work for pretty much any search engine though, for the two people still using Yahoo and Ask.
Do not forget the %s at the end. It is needed on this phone or it will only bring up the search engine without the search.
This will change the search from within the Touchflo search box and the search box in the stock built in Opera Browser. I did not try Internet Explorer or any other browsers but suspect they would require a different registry key to be changed.
