1) There's a cab to change the default search engine in LiveSearch posted around and about. Search for google in this forum and work from there, it'll turn up as it's been posted a lot.
2) There will be a today plugin for that somewhere, though probably not on xda-dev. I've never seen one for that specifically but there are literally thousands, maybe even millions of today plugins about by now, and most old ones from PPC 2002 onward are still ok but there are squillions just for WM5/6. Searching on ppc freeware sites should find you that.
3) Most 6.1 roms have threaded sms enabled anyway so you could do that. I notice from your thread in the 6.1 forum you've got an older rom installed so you might not need to look anywhere else if you just update the rom. Otherwise, there are a few apps out there to do it: there's 'palm threaded sms' and VITO Software make one, but there are others as well. Again, a freeware site (VITO's isn't free) should help.
Happy Hermes-ing!

...so i put them all in one thread. .
Hello everyone.
Just got a TyTn. Quite a change from my old K800, but im sure i'll adjust.
Ive been reading around here for a few weeks now in antisipation of my TyTn arriving. So know a few things already, like the highly rated 'batti' battery app.
I have a few questions about it though that i cant find definate answers on:
- Is it possible to have custom ringtones for each contact?
- How do i close programs? As at the moment they just seem to minimise, and the only way i can find to actually close them is through the memory app in settings.
- How do i install the today screen app called 'Launcher' its not a cab file like the rest of the programs ive installed.
- Is there a today screen plugin i can use to lock the phone when i press it?
- Some of my contacts are listed as 'elliot, fred' rarther than 'fred elliot'. How do i fix that?
- Is it possible to have full screen contact images? Ive got contact images setup for a few of my contacts, but they only ever show up as a tiny icon when opening a txt (havnt tryed incoming calls yet), is there a way to make it so that when i get a txt i get the picture instead of/extra to the standard popup?
- Emoticons. How/can i put them in txt messages? (actually view them, not the pure text equilivent.).
Thanks in advance all.
Any help would be much appricated. .

Ok I tried to help, but geez dude. I think this forum may be a little advanced for you. There are plenty of other websites and forums that can help you with these questions. Before you post any more questions:
1. Read The Windows Mobile Manual
2. Learn how to use the search function
3. Spend a little more time reading
4. Read a little more.
5. Come back and post questions when you ACTUALLY have a phone. THis way you can try to figure things out on the phone before you start asking questions.
Good Luck!

Hi I've done a couple searches and come up emtpy. I'm looking for the Windows Live Search today plugin. Also does anyone know if there is a way to edit it to search google instead of Windows Live Search. I've got it on a ROM on my Wizard and would like to put it on my Kaiser. Thanks.
It comes automatic, when you install windows live messenger on your PDA.
By first goin in the net, the messenger ask you, do want the today plugin live search.

Gotcha, thanks. That's horrible. I don't want full blown Messenger I just like that today searcher the best. Well, better then "SearchToday". I might have to give in though. Do you know if it's possible to edit the reg or something to have it search google instead. Or would you happen to know of any good replacement Today searchers off hand? There was one that wasn't free I think that let you search from different places like, images, google, wiki dynamically.
i'm pretty sure that either kaisertweak or advancedconfi can edit the livesearch on the today screen to search google. i dont remember off hand, but i think its in the lasted advanced config.
Yeah the Advanced Config allows you to change the plugins search engine

Hello,
First, sorry for my English.
I'm searching for a small today application which informs me about missed call and new messages.
I used to have HTC home but I don't need all its informations.
Thanks.
rlToday and a good theme
phone alarm.
I'm also searching...is there just a simple message / mail / call Today plugin (with nothing else)?
I'd also like something like this and haven't really found anything I really like, a Simply plug-in similar to the HTC home plug-in but light on resources that displays missed calls, voice mail, txt messages, and emails, and when you click on each one it launches the application associated with it.
Use battery status with one of the many custom themes, and only choose the messaging row (free) or, I use, SPB Phone Suite, a couple of good tools and it displays all the good stuff (about $20)
Not sure if it shows missed calls, but check out HTC Plus. There are several versions floating around but this post has a picture as well as a link. You can search for HTC Plus to see if there are any more current versions.
BTW, I use Mobile Shell...it's not free but it absolutely rocks!

Look at post 179
And there is another one earlier in the thread, think it was called BennTech Home 1.0.
OSPlus 2.3 has an option to put a last call plugin on your today screen. I used to use it and if you don't have a task manager it also does that as well. But you don't have to.
THANKS GUY BUT WERE CAN I FIND OSPlus 2.3
I was looking for exactly this too a couple of days ago. I made mine out of the bottom part of Focaldesign's rltoday skin, wich can be found here.
You just need to install rltoday, put the focaldesign in the rltoday folder, and get rid of most of the code in the skin.xml file. You'll also need to edit the todayheight and some of the x and y values in the skin.xml. I got it looking right just by trial and error.
I wrote a plugin for the Today screen called PeraCount that does just what you are asking for on a single today line. You can find it at perasite.com
bump! sorry to bring this from the dead but id like to know if there is anything plugin like described in 1st post. buttoned count of missed calls, sms, email, vmails. ive used batterystatus, rltoday, phonealarm, HTC home, MS 2 and 3, winterface, inesoft phone, phonex. they all seem to have too much that is not needed or interface is too ugly.
just want a nice simple buttoned plugin. i guess kind of like lg prada plugin but instead of having the rest of the buttons for programs and such, make it for each notification.
Hello!
I've a new Samsung SGH-i620 smartphone (Win Mobile 6 with qwertz keyboard and without touchscreen).
I'm searching a today screen which displays a preview (subject) of emails I arrive via MS Exchange push.
I had this feature at my Blackberry and I would like to have it on my Samsung as well...
Any ideas? I've searched a lot but found nothing helpful...
Thanks a lot!
hm, I don't know if you can install it..but SPB Diary allows you to actually look at the text message or email before you open it
I'd look into the Manilla threads ...

Why would you send a noob with a non HTC device (not even Touchscreen) to the Manila threads?
The next thing you have is this poor guy adding a post to the already almost 1700 posts in that thread asking "I did everything in the instructions and I can't turn on my device..."
@El-Chico,
While I have no knowledge of what you are looking for, in order to save you hours upon hours of searching (and quite possibly ruining your device), do not take anything from the Manila 2D threads.
Moreover, unless SPB has a version of SPB Diary for Smartphone, I would not even try to install it either if I were you.
Hi and thanks for your replys!
SPB Diary seems exactly to be the right software - but it won't work on Windows Mobile Standard :-( I tried to install it but it abordes the installation process.
I've searched a bit and found "PocketBreeze" - this can show the subjects of mails on the today screen as well.
But - it works only with touchscreen devices!
I'm affraid, that there is no chance to get what I want for the moment - or do you have an idea, if it is possible to install one of the programs "by hand" and use them?
I HATE htc messenger and have been looking nonstop for a cab to disable it with no luck....PLEASE HELP!
Not sure how to disable it completely or if you have the old one still...? But google or forum search for something called "classic sms tweak" or like "sense classic sms tweak". I use it for sense 2.1 and going to SMS tab and clicking on the text brings me to the old and awesome windows mobile 6.1 SMS client !
That's as much as I can help if you use sense? Not sure if it's what you're looking for but give it a try.

1.) Install the 1st cab in this post to disable the HTC Messaging.
2.) Soft Reset
3.) Install any WVGA arcsoft .cab. I used this one by provided in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624375
4.) Soft Reset.
5.) Install the AT&T Settings.cab. This will add in the proper MEdia Net settings and ArcSoft settings for AT&T subscribers. *Note* You may need to go Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced and select MEdia Net from the list of profiles if it doesn't come up correctly.
I also added some network tweaks into the AT&T Settings.cab that I have picked up from various users all over this forum.
This may not work for all users on all ROMs but so far so good with me.
Cheers,

i'm using stock rom sense 2.1 what buru898 was talkin about is what im lookin for if anyone has or know where that cab could be found it would be much appreciated
Hey I would have uploaded it before but was on my phone ;p.
Here you go man. I like my ROMS super fast instead of eye candy (even though it does look damn pretty) and also disable the stupid HTC volume because it loads up faster and I like the ringer and text/alert tones at different volume levels so if you want that one I put it here too .
I flashed a new rom yesterday and now when I write a sms I don't have the count of characters. Is that also a "feature" of the new htc messenger?
I often wrote messages of 161 to 165 characters but couldn't check it now. Any fix?
