Is it possible to move your start bar to the bottom. Also can you map a button to open the start menu?? Like the key on the Apache and the new HTC models??

I think you would need something like WAD to move the Start button. Do you have SoftKeys installed? This maps the left soft key to Start.
Thank you I'll check it out. I've been working on alot of HTC phones lately if you know anything that could be helpful with the HERMES it would be greatly appreciated!!

Not too sure about the Hermes, I have an 8125 (Wizard). For the Wizard SofrKeys is a must have app.

Hey Guys, I just recently baught the T-mobile MDA and am looking for the OK/close button freeware mentioned in this review http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=12194 Can anyone direct me to where I can find it?
This site is incredible but I'm having a hard time locating this program.
Sounds like they're talking about Smartskey It double duties the soft keys as start and ok/close+more.
Here's a dedicated thread for Smartskey which has download links for the app...

You have to install it in the main memory or in the storage memory and it should start on it's own (provided you have enabled the Auto Start option in its settings. If you install it in the storage card, you will probably need to start it manually.

on my device it all happened automaticly. IF you tap&hold the X or OK in the left top corner of the screen you should see it getting active. tap&hold again ans magic button goes away
I still have not found the perfect task closer/manager. I have used several, but am still searching for the perfect application. The following are my criteria for the idea solution:
1.) Small. This is one of the only applications in main memory for speed/stability, so I want is small
2.) I want the WM5 icons. I like the square X and do not want any extraneous icons for settings (i.e. vbar). Essentially, I do not want to know the application is running.
3.) Task switcher. Ideally, i would tap and hold on the X to get a drop down with all the open apps that I can then switch to.
That is it, nothing extra. All the Wisbar derivatives (vbar, magic button) have extra icons for the settings. The two closest candidates for perfect closer/manager I have come across are wClose by Rui Goncalves and tMan by jasnapaka.com. wClose is only 8k :shock: and uses WM5 icons, but no task switcher. tMan has a great task switcher and is small, but uses a dot instead of WM5 icons. I am currently using wClose. My 2 cents.
Hey everyone, I'm trying to find a program for the htc touch that will let me switch between programs on my taskbar like on a normal desktop pc.
I hope one of you knows what I mean
either only an icon that I can click or let it be rectangular buttons, whichever is fine.
Thanks everyone

I guess WkTASK could be the right for you:
http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
Thanks bro, I found that also an hour ago, it's exactly what I wanted
search for 'alt+tab' on this site and you will find another one that is exactly like the PC type Alt+tab switcher. You can assign it to a hardware button.
Hi guys, I have had the orbit 2 and orbit, now I have just got my hands on the Agnito (HTC Diamond. only thing im abit annoyed with is the lock system. Im unable to put the lock on. Can someone help me please. Also is there is a simple tool I could install.
There a plenty of locking programs, just have a browse through this forum.
If you are happy with the standard Windows lock then it's easiest to use a program called Long Press End Key. The program may already be installed on your diamond, try holding 'End Call' for 3 seconds or look in your settings folder.
If you set Long Press Endkey to always lock without asking then you can lock the phone by simply creating a shortcut to Windows\Endkey.exe - I have this program mapped to my left softkey.
Thanks dave,
I never realised that was there...that was my bad...do you remember the HTC weather home, on the orbit 2, is there something similer to that for the Agnito
How can i map that to the soft key?

It's freeware dude. It's posted on here somewhere also as a .cab.
@R.A.G.S - Read the rules dude. Have a search and browse before straight up opening a new thread. There are a multitude of locking programs on here: StylusLock, TouchLockPro, Long Press End Key (default), SensorLock and Pocket Shield (not free) just to name a few.

Comedy!
any advise will be greatly apreciated
On the home screen of my diamond 2, below the touchflo slider icons i have two links one is 'Phone' the other is 'Camera'.
Basically i want to change the 'Camera' link to 'Contacts' or 'All People' so i can quickly access my contacts.
Im sure this is possible, can any one point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance

**Edit, removing program**
tried keyswop but it didnt work for me
managed to get it working with diamond tweaks but it only had a set amount of programs to choose from, i wanted 'HTC people' version of contacts but it only listed the windows mobile layout of the contacts... yeah i know i am being a bit picky!!!!
is there any way of adding htc people to the list?
Thanks for all the advice mate
I just find this:
http://tiltmobility.com/remap-your-today-softkeys/
Softkey Changer didnt work for me im afraid......thanks for the info my friend.
The search continues !!

You may try HDTools or Advanced Config aswell, I remember it worked for me when I had WM6.1, but should work also with 6.5, since the registry keys are the same in that area.
EDIT: I thought that it wouldn't be very smart to install a whole app just to get one tweak..so I made a little .cab that should link the Left Soft Key to Contacts. Tested and working on my device, I hope it works for you!
Install on your device (not SD) and soft reset, that's it. To revert to previous configuration just uninstall the .cab in the usual way.
That may help You forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3292483&postcount=2
thanks for the ideas i will try them out.
This forum is awsome and thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply.

I'd go for FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab it's free and simple a real WYSIWYG application
Have fun,

Does anybody know if it's possible to turn off the phonelight with the button to the right?
You usually use the on-button on the top of the phone but I think it would've been easier to use the button you hang up a conversation with. (just as you are with HTC HD2).
Hoping on a .cab or a positive answer

Yes, that is the TD2 Tool to install.
Then install the enclosed Kbd controll program. Its pretty intuitive, just keep short press as default and set your long or double press to Boot manager.
or..... you can use SSMaHo to map a shortcut from manila home screen.
As far as instructions, you'll have to read as it is too hard to explain in brief.
One thing you will find is that the left soft key is locked for editing in most ROMs.
You can also set it to a softkey in the registry in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila;
LSK, RSK (left and right soft key path and text)
