Do you have the settings folder in windows/start menu? If not, tap menu at bottom, create new folder, name the new folder "Settings", soft reset. If this don't fix it, you'll need to hard reset.

[SOLVED] Problem with Manila?

Hi guys,
I hope this is the correct forum for my question:
I've got a weird problem with my own cooked roms:
If I use Manila, and go to Settings tab -> try to go to 'all settings', it shows my Connections-screen (with My ISP on it etc).
Now I cannot reach the rest of the Settings.
Can somebody help me?
I've tried lots of things, but I can't seem to fix it.

You want this registry key (if you're using 6.5):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"IsWM6.5"=dword:1

This is my suggestion:
1. Goto the Ext Manila_core_2_5_xxxxxx and open the app.reg inside the "0409" folder.
Edit the following registry to be like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
"HideSettings"=dword:0
This will enable the WM6.5 settings icon in the start menu
2. Goto the EXT Settings_Improvement_x_x_xxxxxxxx and open the app.reg.
Edit the following registry to be like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
"HideSettings"=dword:0
It will do the same as above
3. Inside Settings_Improvement_x_x_xxxxxxxx open the "files"folder and delete the "settings.lnk"
This will delete the HTC settings icon that sends you to the Settings Tab, which IMHO is stupid.
Cook your Rom and flash it again.
Hope it Helps

Thanks guys, I'll try this tonight.

Thanks, it worked!

I agree... i was facing a similar issue thank you very much.

Can someone help me with this.....

Main Settings in Start Menu instead of Manila settings
How can i register tweak this.....
PLS HELP......

Hmm, I know this is possible but unfortunately I have installed a custom rom which already has this functionality and I cant seem to find the setting that enables/disables it.
if you go to the manilla settings and click menu> All settings you will get the windows mobile settings window.
I will try and find this information somewhere.

Has no one the solution for my problem ....
BSB does not work....
No one with a solution...
I just one the original settings not the manila settings when i push on settings in the start menu...

If you cannot make it work with bsb, then just use the way around...
Hit start -> settings -> menu -> advanced, and there you go

Strange looking keyboard (energy rom)

I've recently installed the latest Energy rom on my HD2 but the default keyboard is looking a bit strange, the bottom row of keys seems to have shifted upwards.
Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?
Also, on the second screenshot, I've noticed that the menus have changed but there is no mention in the changelog on the website. Is this normal or have I changed a setting somewhere?
Thanks

hhmm did you hard reset after flashing?? and the menu can be changed in hd2 tweak maybe bsb tweaks also im not sure. its something about using windows menu's i think its system menus in bsb tweaks mate, that should change it

No, I just flashed it and reintroduced my propgrams/backups.
Will it be worth trying again and hard resetting it?

you should hard reset after flashing mate,

Oh ok, cool! How does it make a difference? I would have thought that a flash was as good as a hard reset, is it not a format/clean install?
Thanks for your help mate.

well it is kind of, just gives the flash a clean base to start the rom up on, just the way it is lol

I beg to disagree & BTW, that doesn't even make sense! The "flash" that you mentioned is already starting off of a "clean base". You DONT need to hard reset after a flash. Flashing in itself is like Hard Resetting.
The problem you are facing could be because of one of 2 things
1) Your backup has registry / program files that are replacing newer files from the rom. If you normally make use of automatic restoration by means of SDConfig.txt or XDA_UC, try not using it this time while Hard Resetting and see if the problem persists. The easiest way to do that is by popping your card out.
2) Occasionaly something goes wrong when chefs are 'baking' their roms, so to speak and they might end up putting out bad roms with problems. This could be a result of that.

i'm on the same problem after HR and updated settingd from XDA_UC.
before was great so this is probably after update.

After a hard reset, I installed all my cabs indiviually and worked out that it was the cab that add extra currency symbols to the main keyboard that was causing this. I'd found it from the Leo Hints & Tips thread. I uninstalled it and is reverted back to normal.
50. Enable All Currency Symbols from Main Keyboard
If you want to input the Euro, Yen or Pound symbol, you have to tap on the '12#' key and then go to page 2. A bit cumbersome. Now you can have access to all of the currency symbols just by pressing and holding the 'f' key and then drag to choose the symbol you want. Install cab below to device main memory only.

Hola, the remove qtc cab is so you can change the icons for some of the programs..., but for your QuickLinks issue, please check your registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home
There you have 0 - 8 meaning the values and keys for all 9 quicklinks ;-)
Check them and see if two (2) of these are corrupt.... If so, then check the entries of the good ones and adjust the "bad" ones
Probably some flunked or failed instal that screwd up, or what else did you instal?

What ROM are you running? Stock? If it is a custom ROM, inform your chef

Yes, in registry should be 9 files from 0-8, but the file number 2 is missing at all. That is probably the problem. I just don't know how to add a "file 2" manually, because I don't know ContactFavorType. The rest of values should be ok..
It was caused by some error during uninstalling of a official Facebook application distributed via Marketplace. So on the position 2 (file 2 in the regitry) was Facebook, but right now there is nothing:-D

Hola, simply check for the value on the other ones... my values differ since I have CHT and a cooked ROM, but if you want, take a look at my original set up without CHT, right after flashing the ROM - The ROM Cook only set the first three links as you will see at the bottom of the file ;-)
