I just flashed Open Touch 5.0 onto my T-Mobile Wing. The flash went perfectly and I've started some customization to make it look and work how I want, but I have a few questions for those who have used Open Touch before (this is my first time. I was running TouchIT before).
I do not have the start menu/bar at the top of the screen. It is there because I can hit it with the stylus if I tap the very very top edge of the screen. If I open the slide, the start bar appears, but then everything on HTC Home is skewed to the right when I close the slide.
Also, there is a bar underneath the HTC Home plugin that has a button for the calendar, one for file explorer, one for phone, and one for contacts. Is there a way I can move/remove that?
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help, guys!
Nevermind on the bar with the buttons for the calendar, etc. It was BatteryStatus and I didn't realize it

I have a vodafone universal v1640 with pocket plus and pocket informant.
There is a touch link at the bottom left of the screen for 'phone' but when i touch it it opens the calendar.
There is a touch link on the bottom right of the screen for calandar and this correctly opens the calendar
If i press the green button for the phone on the side of the case that goes to the phone dialler and if I press the green phone button on the top left of the keyboard that goes to the phone dialler.
How can I correct the touch 'phone' link on the screen to launch the phone.
Thanks
Steve
Has anybody found a way to remove the top and bottom bars from the screen or theme them away? I map my mail button to open the start menu and the internet button to close apps. my left softkey brings up Newmenu and the right one brings up contacts. I have no use for either onscreen bar. Killing them off would provide 10-15% more homescreen space.
Thanks for reading and any help/guidance you may be able to provide.
Vijay has written an app, but I don't think its still on his site. Its called VJToggle or something. You can remove the bottom bar, or both bars. I found it on MoDaCo via Google.
Thanks. I'll give it a try.

There is also Wisbar Advance Desktop. It is shareware and you have to pay for registration code but it allows 100% complete customization of your home screen including full screen without top and bottom bars.
Been having fun with 6.5 after getting it loaded up, the home screen is great. I kind of think the start menu has something to be desired, big icons that scroll up and down. Well got me thinking, is there a plug-in out there, for the home screen that when flicked right or left, would move the whole "main" home menu off screen and bring up a new menu(slides in from the approate direction?). Run up and down with in that new menu, then flick again (right or left) and get yet another new menu, all of these additional menu sets either preset or set up by the user. To get back to the home screen, maybe a soft Home key or just wait a few seconds and the software shifts back to Home?
Something to ponder, talk amongst your selves.

Thats a great idea, although not really suited for me and it would be extremely annoying to an extent. Because when you scroll with your thumb up/down you move slightly to the left or right.. that would trigger it and annoy most if not all people.
I'm sure a range of some kind could be set up that would recognize what's meant to be up-down Vs. left-right. Already see it with most of the fields on the home screen. I just saw it as a way to keep the start menu programs "in theme" while not extending the home screen to some crazy length.
i was thinking the same thing.. for the start menu i think it can be done since ifonz and iphone today are similar to this type of a menu. It would be pretty useful or another option would be to get rid of the bouncy option and instead when u scroll the other way, it should show the icons from the bottom of the list.
what do u think?
I've had the phone a week now and am loving it. Though something has recently changed and I cant get it back.
When I used to press up on the top bar, where the Phone, WiFi, and Bluetooth icons are, it used to pop up with the finger freindly Touch Sense (manila?) Notifications window. From there you could access Comm Manager
However, now when I press up there, depending on whether I press the actual Bluetooth, Wifi, or Phone icon, it brings up a nasty little Windows Mobile 6.5 window. You can then get to Comm Manager froma tiny link in that window - but I want it to work how it used to, and just bring up the nice Notifications window when I press up there.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
Hi everyone! As the title says, for some strange reason this morning my 'Home' button won't work from any application, the button however does make the screen light up and the buttons light up, but does not take you back to the home screen... also, when at the home screen, the dial button would usually bring the contacts or the dialer page up, but this is not working either, however, if I go into the contacts shortcut on the home screen and select a contact and press the dial button there, it will call them...
so basically, my main issue is the Home button not working!
Its not rooted *yet* and is therefore running a standard rom, it does have a fair few apps installed tho, but I have used the advanced task manager to close everything... I'm v' new to all this Android stuff as up until a few months ago, I was a Windows Mobile person with my previous SPV's and HTC's so any help would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks, Adam.
