HTC Action Screen Help - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hey guys. I installed the HTC Action Screen to SD from the sticky thread and I can't figure out how to get it to work. Is there an executable file somewhere that I can open to run this? I would like to have a hardware button launch this if possible. Thanks in advance guys.

htcactionscreen.exe is in /windows folder copy and paste it as shortcut in /windows/start menu/prohrams and then via buttons map a button to it

Does sprint HTC Touch phones have HTC action by default or does it need to be installed? If so, I can't find it in \windows or know how to start it.

Thanks this helped in getting it to work, but now I have one problem. New Task and New Appointment open the original task and calendar, and I have pocket informant. I went into the registry and changed the path to those .lnk files, but this didn't work. Anything else I can do it is it impossible?

Try this.
1.Unrar.
2.Put it in \windows.
3.Go to Start>settings>system>softkey and do whatever you want . :lol:
Where did the attachment gone?
Can someone put it there again.

For some reason on myJAMin I can never execute Messaging from the Messaging.lnk file in Start Menu>Programs - it simply doesn't work. So when I use your applet to set the left key to Messaging I need to manually replace Messaging.lnk by \Windows\tmail.lnk in your Open value for Key 112. I have also replaced the Messaging.lnk in Start Menu>Programs by a shortcut to \Windows\tmail.lnk and renamed it to Messaging.lnk. All of this is sure strange because on my Treo 700W it all works OK.
Thanks for the applet,
Frank
Worked great thanks
Thanks worked for me too. Also have the same problem though when assigning the send sms button to one of the softkeys.
Also another question : how do you assign speed dial to a soft key can not find it in the list.
Thank you!
Thanks alot, it worked with my Neo. But I cannot assign "New SMS and New MMS" to the softkeys, any solutions for this bros?
New SMS being assigned to the Softkey comes up with the error saying tnsms.exe file missing. I believe that APPLET is ripped of some device where there new SMS were started within this program. Any solution known yet?
I had the same issue..
Just copy the file attached (unzip first ofcourse) into your windows folder (on your mobile)
Works like a charm!

Mighty Jesus, that really helped. Thanks.Where did you get the file from?
I made a CAB to automatic install of SoftkeyAppletEX.cpl (from BuzzDev). Now you can put it into ext_rom

how do you remove this softkey app?

any ideas?
First Go here then try here
no joy so far
tries shortcut creator, been through the lnk thread... again....
tried google...
there must be a way to shortcut to a specific folder???
if you read the actual 051 thread, slither discusses this many times and says it won't be available until 052
I think it involves passing a parameter to fileexplorer...

create a link to your file explorer
tap and hold
select properties
add '-windows\start menu\games' to the end of the link so you should end up with something like
program files\file explorer.exe -windows\start menu\games
cheers for the help folks, still no go.
will have to see if slither can resolve in the next release

I got it wrong, no '-' before the address
"fexplore.exe" windows\start menu\programs\Games
exactly as above in the properties of any .LNK will do it

cheers mate but vust links to the 'my device' page on file explorer no matter what i do.
have looked into and edited folderview.exe so it should route to an alternative folder but the signature is not taking via msigner.
was thinking that this might be the 'simple' way but must be doing something wrong, was thinking set the shortcut to a generic option (ie Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Test) would give some flexibility (we could just add/rename folders in the program list
any idea what i am doing wrong on the resign?
edit: unsign/resign done will work on the edit to see if i can get this to work

Please try this It's part of Wisbar Advance 3, Start Panel. Files in folder my documents > my documents and exe put somewhere.
http://ike-dats.thez.info/public/startpanel.rar
If you have problems with startup (blank white page) and using wktask or programs like this, make exception to run always in background. Then to refresh list you must restart it.

Hi IkE Blaster, Spot on, works perfectly!!!! is it possible to edit the config to allow folks to choose the folder?
if this works, it is a configarable menu option that will work with any 3rd party app

thanks for trying, this works as a seperate link but not through the cube??? for some reason it brings up Internet Explorer????
You can change the "url" of folder in config file, if you select for example start menu, than can you change folder tapping the top curtain. But you can go only in includes folder. I can't explain it, try it yourself
cheers man,
appreciate the work
thanks for your help

TF3D links customization

I happily own a HD since Thursday after a Diamond and a Pro: HD is far better!!
I tried the utility posted in the diamond forum to change the default links to time and calendar, it does not work, after the patch the TF loops without starting.
Did anyone try already?

Download app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
This seems to be a very great tool but I've only experimented with remapping my calendar.
Disable TF3D
Run SSMaPa.exe from phone
Check Extended Init and press Init
Click on setting and highlight replace calendar
Check "patch enabled"
Under new program type in the path of pocketinformant
-In my case it was /Program Files/WebIS/PocketInformant/PocketInformant.exe
Delete arguments
Type in directory where exe file found
-In my case it was /Program Files/WebIS/PocketInformant/
Click save
Click deploy tab and press deploy patch
Next you will need to copu these 2 files from your TP windows directory using activesync and resco explorer or a similar program to a folder on your PC.
_mpmantoday.dll and _mpman.exe
Next download file editor from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=2721128
Unzip folder to extract files
Once unzipped open Unsign folder and drag your two extracted files one by one over Unsigner.exe. Very quickly a msdos window will open up and it will seem as if nothing has happened but don't worry the files have been modified at this point.
Now just overwrite the 2 files with the same 2 files in your TP windows directory.
Go into your settings and reenable TF3D and you should hopefully have remapped the original calendar app with PocketInformant.
All donations, thanks, beer, coffee, women, kudos should go to Svenso and Schreda over at xda since this was done using their apps and help. I'm not worthy and only a messenger of my good fortune.

the same thing happened to me, still cant get it to work
Don't forget to unsign
Don't forget to unsign the changed files with the unsign.exe of the file editor tool - otherwise TF3D won't start!!!

thanx for the help but i cannot seem to find these two files
"_mpmantoday.dll and _mpman.exe"

thanx
Iv figured it out, thanx
Hi xdaman85
Where did you find _mpman.exe and mpmantoday.dll?
Are these hidden files?

Screen rotation (2010/01/08)

Hello to ALL
On the various forums for the HD2 exists much proposals/solutions to change the orientation of the screen.
I did not find ANY Simple solution to do it, much cab are totaly disproportionate for this simple function !!!!!!
I am in favour of the simple solutions: to pass in landscape only when necessary.
Who is able to provide me a SIMPLE procedure to make available, in the icon "Button", the “TALK/SEND” button ?????
I use HD2TWEAK and I could thus assign to a long support the rotation of the screen.
Many many thanks for your help

I've coded a simple app to do what you've asked.
Unzip the attachment on your PC and copy the 2 files to the windows folder on your phone. Then, when you long-hold on the call button it will toggle the screen rotation between portrait and landscape.
Hope this helps
Edit:
I've updated this application a couple of times, and it now comes with a GUI so you can select what orientation you want to toggle with.
It's available from the following thread...

Thank you for CERegEditor program.
But I cannot “change” some registers: (HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/Minimumtaptime).
=> “Write error Cannot write value data”
An idea?????
Sorry but I have a new question:
The “Contacts” icon list the Contacts AND the SIM content;
Do you know a solution (register) to list ONLY the Contacts in order to preserve the SIM content????
Thanks again

Hi, I unzipped the attachment and get a PLtoggle.exe file and a shortcut folder marked long_send. I've copied both files to my phone and installed the PLToggle hotfix, but when I long hold the call button nothing happens. WHat am I doing wrong?

Did you copy them to the windows folder?
And what do you mean "installed the PLToggle hotfix"???
Incidentally - there's a new version of this app. See the link in my sig to find it.

I copied them onto my card storage, located PLToggle.exe using file explorer, pressed it and it installed onto my phone and then restarted.
I've heard of folk talking about the windows folder before, what are you referring to when you say windows folder?

Okay - running the exe doesn't install it. Copying it to the windows folder is all you need. (It's not like installing a cab file).
In file explorer go to Menu and select "Show all files". Then, in the root folder of your device, you will have a windows folder. You need to copy PLToggle and long_send into that folder.
I tried and it did very good to rotate my garmin mobile XT.
I will pass this link to my friends.
Thank You, man!

Can you try the one in my signature - PLToggle?
That is a more up-to-date version. I'd actually forgotten about this thread, so I'll delete the original cab and just link the new version.
Thanks for the reminder
Let me know how you get on.
