how to make a shortcut on the today-page of my wizzard

Due to long trying and experimenting with my bt gps i lost my shortcut of TT 5 on my today page. Is there anyone who can tell me how to put it back on, beaucouse when i want to start tt5 it's almost impossible to navigate the start menu with my fingertips.
I've allready tried to fix the problem with "settings/today/items", but Tomtom wasn't in the list anymore.
TT 5 starts perfectly from my startmenu, but i want my shortcut back.
Is there anyway who can tell me to solve this :?:

I've got a vario, and am currently running tomtom Nav5.21 on my ipaq, once i get hold of a bluetooth antenna, tomtom will be going on the vario.
This is not an uncommon problem with tomtom. There are however 2 ways arround your problem.
First way is to download the v5.21 patch from the tomtom website and re-install the .cab file, this will mean that tomtom is brought back to its origional settings. And the shortcut will re-appear on the screen.
If you have in any way customised the settings, you may have to set them up again (for example if you are familiar with tomtom, you'll have to turn off the guided tour stuff.) However things like any stored favorites or POI's will be unaffected by doing this, and will show up just like they did before.
The otherway is to go into start > settings > Personal > Buttons. From there you can re-assign one of the buttons to always start up tomtom, or indeed any application you want.
For example on my vario, button 5 is the Comm manager that allows me to turn on and off the wifi / bluetooth. As there is already a little icon at the bottom of the today screen that opens the comm manager I'll be reassigning the button to start TomTom.

In the TTN 5.1 update package are (if i remember correct) 3 cab files. One is just the Today plugin, you can tell it by its name
From TTN 5.21 onwards the plugin is IN the main cab, so you cant use this trick with that one.
the Todayplugin is the same for both versions
Alternatively you can use the HTCTODAY plugin i have modified (in 3 flavours) search on the forum.

Code:
use the HTCTODAY plugin
Searched for that, and this is the only post found.

I need a bluetooth shortcut on spb pocket. How???

I was trying to create a bluetooth shortcut for my MDA2 (charmer) on my today screen. unfortunately spb pocket has no such thing! anybody who can guide me through this??? its really anoying to always go through "start, settings, communication, bluetooth....." PLEASE somebody!!![/b]

Try CicleBT.

This old remaked prog can turn on/off BT using various modes like
dependly in content of links you can turn on/off BT include OBEX or without it,
or you can run any prog with turning BT
55#\BTOnOff.exe "\Storage Card\mChat\mChat.exe"
or without BT
55#\BTOnOff.exe -noBT "\Storage Card\mChat\mChat.exe"
in this CAB two links BTOnOff.lnk & BTObex.lnk tap on one of them turn on that function, tap again turn off.

Any way to record a "macro" on WM6?

Anyone knows how to make the shortcut on the desktop for the "wireless stereo" for the BT headset to turn it on and off in WM6?
Right now I have to:
1. Open Comm Manager
2. Click settings
3. Choose Bluetooth
4. Choose headset from the list (in my case S705)
5. Tick/untick Wireless Stereo
6. Tap Save
7. Close "Settings"
8. Close Comm Manager
Is there a software which allows to "record" this kind of seqence of taps and assign an icon on the desktop to it? (using Pocket Plus)
Yes, I have tested btIO -- and unfortunately it does everything except what I really want - You can not control the "wireless stereo" ON/Off with it. - Under WM6 on Athena the Audio2BT turns on voice recognition, Audio2Device does nothing. Options below work ok - audio GWCC_on, and Radio GWCC off.
I have reported this problem to the creator of this handy utility...
In the meantime - any way to record macros? - I prefer to have an icon on the desktop doing just one thing, not to choose from the list - it is difficult to use the list in the car when I want to turn it on quickly.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can use BTIO (search forum) for easily turning BT on/off, doing BT audio, etc. Give you a little icon the your phone that you can manipulate BT services with.
You can use

"ButtonMapper also features macros recording to assign a sequence of stylus taps and perform them all at once with a single press of a hardware button."

Ring Vibrate Toggle switch

There have been a number of posts indicating an interest in using the hardare WLan switch as a Ring Vibrate toggle. Due to some hardware issues that may not ever become possible. An alternative is to download the Ring Vibrate toggle Cab file from the forum link below and assign it to an underused button. I selected the Comm Manager button on the right below the power switch (after adding the Comm Manager to the HTC Touch plugin on the Today screen.... that needed a little work, as the file is hidden in the Windows directory... I used Resco Explorer with settings to see all files and copied a shortcut to the windows/Start Menu/Programs folder, allowing HTC Touch plugin to see the shortcut).
The Cab works like a charm. I attached the file for anyone interested in a quick fix for the lack of a hardware vibrate switch as on the Treo handhelds.

very cool can't wait to test it out!

Nice, Thanks!!

Full credit goes to vmirage
Forgot to thank vmirage for providing the cab file that I used in this thread. Keep up the good work and thanks for providing such excellent support.

Missing Icons and Folders? Please Help

Okay guys more help please!
I can't recall if I saw these things pre or post upgrade from 1.48 to 1.66 rom
BUT:
1) when I pressed the windows button there used to be a folder there called games which is no longer there. I can find it via file explorer in start menu/programs (and it contains links to a couple of games I installed) but I would like it back in the main screen to be able to click on
2) there used to be an icon for bluetooth. I think it used to be in the tools folder but again I can't find it anywhere now, not even via file explorer in start menu as above. I can turn on BT via the setting switch but
a) I would like to get back icons that there there before!
b) I would like to explore what configurable options are available

sorry just to update.
I remembered now where the BT icon is/was - setting/all settings!
Still would like the Games Folder on the main screen (ie when you press the windows button and/or even better a quicklink) though!

Ignore me - I'm dim!
Found it. It is still there but the icon is different [or possibly I remember it differently!]
I have added a shortcut to the BT Manager to the startup menu so I have an icon there now as well
