Where is the file for the " Touch Settings " ? You should start by attaching the settings file since this will be the main thread for Touch Settings
i posted detailed instructions as to how to get the "Touch Settings" program to work correctly on the Sprint Touch a few days ago. I'll re-post it over in the Vogue forum shortly

Please don't re-post this information, as I have now built a new version of the program that should work on the Sprint Touch without any special instructions required. It's been tested by Sprint users and seems to be working well so far.
You can download the beta (v1.29d) from www.fatattitude.com/software
For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
Best,

Works great on HTC Touch! WooHoo!
Very Nice job. Very Nice, indeed.
Personally, I wanted the photo to launch the HTC Camera Album.lnk the way you can scroll with your finger & zoom, etc.
So, I created the Photos button in MediaHub to be:
\WindowsHTCAlbum.exe
Params: -mode:camera -type:image
when i try and install the settings app i get a error messsage about
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or settings cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions"
how do i chang it so i can install and run this.. thanks

If you look at the post at the top of this page by Carlos, you'll see he says, "For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556."
He also gives these suggestions:
- If you're installing to Storage Card, try installing to the Device instead.
- If you still get the error, try resetting your device and installing again - this honestly worked for me!
- Check there is enough free storage space on your device.
- Try a manual installation (zip file coming to first post shortly)
There are many posts about this in other threads, so you should be able to find the info you need.
Carlos,
Any reason to upgrade to 1.29e if d is working well?
Secondly, if we do upgrade - do you have to uninstall first? or can you overwrite the program?
I don't seem to be able to see a changes history. I'll keep looking.
carlos said there is a new touch settings version comming out soon where it will help implement animations and custom icons will show when the cube turns. WOOT. and we wont have to install the updated Exe, it will be updated for us.,.]
THANKS CARLOS!

I have spent a good deal of time getting my Sprint Touch to display my local weather by using N2A's "patched" HtcHome.dll which points at a server that does support my local weather (unlike the Htc's accuweather server). Now I would like to use 'Touch Settings' to easily customize what apps get launched from my 3x2 app launcher and the media hub buttons, but I'm not sure if I dare do this yet since I haven't seen anyone explain how 'Touch Settings' accomplishes displaying local weather.
Can anyone tell me how it does this? My concern is that it may conflict with the patched home plugin I already have working.

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Touch Settings updates the registry keys at \HKLM\Software\HTC\HomePlug\Weather\Settings
I don't think this should change your server settings etc, and it certainly won't change which .dll file your weather is pulled from.
Why not do a registry backup of that key, try out Touch Settings and if there are any problems, just restore your registry? I think you'll be OK with it.
Hi all
I have a new beta of Touch Settings v2.0 that I'd really like a couple of people to test for me, in particular people with Vogues and Touch Duals, especially pp18 and that other kind person who volunteered.
I have posted it in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&page=20
....if you could keep feedback in that thread for now please? Feels like we have too many threads going at once otherwise and gets confusing!
Thanks,
Carlos

Works great...thanks Carlos!
One thing I noticed would be interested in finding out if other Sprint Touch users are seeing: after updating my "On Demand" app launcher's button to open a different app in the mediahub, the "Demand" in the text "On Demand" is now half cut-off. I assume this text (which I would like to change anyway) is stored in the registry somewhere and is not editable via Touch Settings yet. I can spend some time researching which settings to manually change in the registry, but if you are going to add this feature soon to the app, then I won't spend the time.
Thanks again, regardless...

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Glad it's working for you! If you run Touch Settings, you should be able to click in the grey box where it says "On Demand" and change the text to anything you like... ...let me know if it doesn't work for any reason.

Thanks Carlos...I can't believe I didn't think to at least try tapping in there! (Oh me of little faith...)
Next minor issue:
I made my bottom mediahub button say "Voice Recorder", and the word "Recorder" wrapped to a second line which is half-way cut off. I see that text wraps on the middle button as well, and although it doesn't get cut off it does look off-center vertically. I don't know if there is any way to adjust the text vertically with the magic that you do, so for now I'll try to come up with one word labels for the buttons to avoid the issue.
I also am curous what parameter to use to get the HtcAlbum.exe to launch the Camera Album to display just videos, like the 2nd-row 3rd button in does in the 9 button app launcher that comes on the 3rd tab of the HTC Home plugin. Does anybody know what I need to supply? I believe there is a mode: option, but when trying "mode:video" it still only comes up displaying pictures, and it does so in portrait view, not in landscape view like it does from the app launcher (which I prefer). My apologies if this has been discussed already...thanks!

Carlos - this is kind of a QA issue with the interface. Can I make the suggestion that you change the color of that box from gray to something like yellow? The first few times I opened the app I thought it was the typical "grayed out" box -- meaning I couldn't edit it. Whereas when I see a yellow box it grabs my attention and suggests I should be doing something with it...
Is there any application that makes putting bluetooth toggle as today plugin possible in WM5 ????
Please Help !!!
Maybe Like This One -->
Thanks in advance
download and install batterystatus. Very easy to find as it is all over this forum. Go to the options and select the Tray Launch Tab. You will be able to add bluetooth,wi-fi,phone, as well as many other options to the tray at the bottom of your screen.
this should work
found this somewhere, i have it installed and it works good.doesnt take up much space either.
As an alternative, Vijay codes up a bunch of really handle utilities, and one (VJvolubilis http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis) can toggle BT. Then all you need is a today screen shortcut to his prog with the right suffix. cLaunch should do it if you want it on the today screen instead of the tray, or even create a drop-down menu controlled by a hard key with something like WM5NewMenu. All these are free, but I'm sure the developers would love a donation!
Theres a registry hack on ppcgeeks that enables that and wifi on your today screen if I find it i'll post it
BT on today-you find it???

I have been searching for this for a while now. I have started using phone weaver and turned everything else off but BT. See cab and thumbnail. In thumbnail look in bottom right corner of today screen for activated BT! I would like this to happen without running Phone weaver, seems to take up a little more memory than I would like for this type of app, but it works great and I am happy with it. Just what I wanted, if I could actually get rid of the few little icons to the left of the BT I would be VERY happy thats my main gripe here...
Cheers!
Efcomm.cab is what you need

ciclebt.cab.... and assigne to hardware button. or use as app via applauncher programs.
You can use btIO-mini (see attached file). In this zip there are 2 files.
I made this for 2 reasons. The first is to have a quick toggle via HTC Home integration, and the second ist to be able to turn on/off BT via voice command.
1. bluetooth.lnk -> put this in your \windows\startmenu\program files\ folder
2. btIO-mini.exe put this in \program files\btIO\
3. Make a shortcut from your favorite launcher today-plugin to btIO-mini.exe
Make a softreset, after that you can use voice command to turn on/off bluetooth.
There is no visible indication, like pop-up or message box that tells you which state BT is. The program just looks in which state BT is and if it's off it turns BT on in connectable (invisible) mode, and if it's on it simly turns BT off and exits.
So this is not exactly what you asked since it is not a today plugin but maybe it will help you.
Cheers
EDIT: Be warned! The program icon is ****ing ugly. Will have to find a better one...
Thank you guys for your response ....
But I'm asking about the plugin in the attached picture ...
thank u again ..

Forgive my lack of basic knowledge but how do you edit the registry on the wm phone?
aha never mind, I figured it out, you need to get a registry editor and install it.
Very useful topic.

nice but what does it do
What does Video Share mode do? Seems like a 4:3 video capture mode.
What I would like to see is a way to capture bigger vids with better quality, even if it meant much bigger file sizes... because i can just pull them off and encode them on pc...
Ideas?
Also whats GPS photo...

Using a similar method are we able to change to landscape in pocket word. I don't know if I have missed something but landscape word is an absolute must for me as it reduces scrolling etc.
If you can help I would appreciate it.

I'm having a small problem with the screen responses on my phone. I just went into the registry and made some changes to enable clear type in Landscape mode....and well...for some reason now....the 'ok' or 'x' tht appears on the top right hand side of the screen in landscape (right handed landscape mode) is unresponsive. It wont acknowledge any taps with the stylus or finger. I tried a soft reset and nothing. So now my phone is stuck in landscape mode...and it wont budge. Any ideas?
Sim reappear?

After that change, you off course need to reset to take effect. Once done, it would stay the way you want it.

I logged into the Windows live (MSN) program that comes with the phone as standard.
When logged out, i looked in my contacts phonebook and all my Windows live contacts were there! And when i took them away and logged into Windows live again, they were gone, probably for taking them away from the contacts phonebook in the phone..
Very irritating!
Now, is there some setting so i can make them not to show in the contacts phonebook?
I mean, as you can do with the SIM contacts?
This drives my crazy: After rotating the screen with gyrator, gsen or manual-button, the HD switches back to manila or any other last used system window.
(There are some posts inside some big threads wich nobody replied, so I start a new one for this bug only...)
This is VERY annoying if you just want to turn the screen for reading or writing a mail...
i dont know if this is the right method to do it.. but
try adding all types of exceptions to the list in gsen window/class etc of your messaging window!
i came across the same problem and this seem to fix it!
try it and let me know if it worked!
what have you added? manila is already added...
sometimes the bug disappears...I added the exeptions, but have to wait some times to see if the effect lasts...But thanks!

im not talking about manilla.. open the window you wish you dont want to rotate.. then hit the home button on your phone. then go to gsen configuration and add all the windows/classes/process of that application!
that should stop the minimizing of that window when rotated.. hopefully!
if someone has a better solution let us know!
? in dont understand. I do want to rotate for example the mail window, so i added all the others to "dont rotate". correct?

It's top bar's icons related problem.
If you uninstall them you should not have that issue.
As described in another thread. This may be caused by colorful icons/battery icon in top bar.
ahhh ok I'll try. Thanks.
Do you know an other way to display some battery percentage?

If you look around, there is atleast two color top bars that do not have this problem. The problem originated from one of the first color top bars (which everyone liked and used), but now just look around and try them till u find one that u like and doesn't have the bug. (i'd give u mine but i can't find the cab for either one) good luck
Please let us know if you find one, and where to get it.
Thanks.
i now use aebuttons plus to show me battery-percentage at a btn-click.
Ive used SSPL a few times to change the ROM of my Mini and now when I get a text message my screen doesnt light up while in standby. Is there any fix for this apart from hard reset or reusing SSPL to see if an error occurred?!
It used to light up before with previous installs.
Thanks for any reply.
Use Advanced Configuration Tools.
doesnt seem to work on my mini, installed it onto the storage card - cant see option to change notifications.....
thanks anyway
You must install it in internal memory.
The app contains tweaks.
I used the exe from the developers site - got the cab now.... shall see how it goes; thanks!
my mistake
Okay I couldnt find any option within Advanced Configuration for the screen lighting up when a text is received but there was a lot of options - so if someone can clarify its there I stand corrected!
I also installed BsB Tweaks and there is a SMS wake up option , I activated this and it does what I want!
Thanks again to fighter7139 for pushing me in the right direction - appreciated bro.
By the way, in ACT the option is:
Messaging--->Wake up on new sms.
