What is this "Start" in my process? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Okay, I have no idea where this came from, but it started to appear after installing a fixed call history cab. When I go to Task manager there is this process called Start, and when I close it, the only thing left on screen was the TouchFlo word and logo, the actual TouchFlo3D interface gets closed.
Rebooting or reopening it in Control Panel makes it work again, but that "Start" is still there. Anyone knows if this is an issue? Should it even be visible in the first place? It's linked to Manila.exe shown on Advance task Manager.

same thing with me too, its always in my running processes, i close it, it opens back up wtf

Anyone installed SecondToday ?
I've got the same "problem" on my raphael since I installed ST and suspect this behaviour could result from it since it's launching the two "today screens" as two different processes.

Start is manila (TF3D)
I don't know why u get it like that...
Only time I've heard about it is when someone installed the manila.exe fix for my Sprint Theme...

The title of the Manila window is called Start.

Well, I restored my theme and it didn't appear. After applying the fix you made for me for the call history cab, it appears in my task list. It's not an issue to me at all, just trying to find out if anyone else has this same issue.

make a backup (just in case) of manila.exe...
then turn off TF3D.. and delete manila.exe
Now your original manila.exe should be there.. and no start in process..

Oh wow, that worked? What was wrong? I have to make a big donation to XDA now for this... Thanks again for your help!

Doesn't work for me, manila.exe is in ROM and can't be deleted.

Favorite People tab not showing on xplode HTC Home 2.1 Build1005.722

Hi all my friends,
I have got a problem..
Installing xplode-HTCHome.v2_1_1005722_s0-all_device.cab , on the today screen I get no "Favorite People" tab.
I hard resetted and reinstalled the cab but no luck... As far as I remember an older version I was using time ago showed the tab correctly...
Is this a known problem with this version? I used this because it seems to be the latest available..
Is there a workaround or a solution for this "little" problem?
Thank you all so much in advice,
Eth
Make sure your "Favorite people" tab is enabled
Start-->Settings-->Today-->HTC Home (bottom tabs)
There should be a checkmark on the favorite people tab.
PoGa
Yes mate, It is checked. That's the strange thing...
Thank you,
Eth
Are you using WM6 with the cube? The favorite people tab will not show up on Home if the cube is also used.

Yes WM6 with FTouchFlo (also if I deactivate it, people won't show up).
Any workaround?
Thank you,
Eth
I had the same problem, and I had the cube installed. As soon as I uninstalled the cube, the favourites came back (after a reboot I think).
Hope this is of some use.
Do a search their is a mask Registry setting that you must delete for this. I am running the cube and home with all options active and working.
i uninstalled HTC cube and the favorites still do not show up. even uninstalled and reinstalled HTC home and same thing. everything shows up except for the favorites.

I've the same problem...
I'm not able to set any favorite people on the HHC tab....
Also if I hit "+" nothing happens....
So the problem is releated to the Cube??
And if I kill the Cube... Do you think that I'll solve the problem??

Yeah, the cube removes the favorite tab from htc home. It's not a problem though. Simple solution - DELETE THE FOLLOWING REGISTRY KEY;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial

Damn.....
That registry key doesn't exist.....
I think that I deleted it sometimes ago.....
Could you copy yours and send it to me?
I wanna try if with that registry key, the favorite people tab would work...
Thank you...
EDIT:
I HAVE JUST FOUND IT!
It is in HLM/Software/OEM. Not in /MASD
There I've found a key called Quickdial...
It's the same you were talking about or not??
RE-EDIT:
Ok, now I've understood that in the past I moved that key to another folder...
In fact now, after I've moved that key to /MASD, I'm not able to see the favorite people tab.....
But my problem is an other....
When I can see the favorite people tab, I can't it any "+"....
So I can't chose any favorite person....
I CAN SEE THE FAVORITE PEOPLE TAB, BUT I CAN'T HIT ANY OF THE "+" BUTTONS...
If I try to it one of them... Nothing happens...
I don't know if this is important, but I have installed PocketCM, and this program runs instead of the standard contacts one...
How can I solve that??
Noone?.....

Hi I gaot exactly the same problem as flaviopac.

Thanks for the clue mate..THUMBS UP!!!

Try to add the Favorites in the Cube (they automticly appears in Home Tab) not in HTC Home, that solved the problem on my Device

HELP!! TF3D doesn't startup after softreset

Is there a way to manually start the TF3D? Sometimes it takes up to 5 resets to start. Really annoying, since I don't want to hard reset the device...
Hmmm, should start every time if you have it in the today settings.
Check: Start - Settings - Today - Items (bottom of screen) - scroll down to TouchFLO 3D and make sure it is checked. Best to uncheck everything else as TF3D generally conflicts with other today plugins.

Yes, it's there and checked. Nothing else is checked and I have no other today plugins installed.

Hmmm ! Sounds like maybe a manila file is messed up. I guess your best bet is a hard reset.
Alternatively you might try installing a TF3D theme from the forums and see if that fixes it.
Sorry, I can't help much more than that (I've never experienced this problem).

bad alignment in sense and other programs

hi everybody, i installed my mobiler (so i can control my hd2 from my pc) and since then my sense main screen 'moved up' (hard to explain..look at pics).
i can see in the bottom right the my mobiler icon..but even if i disable it and softreset..well the screen is still miss-aligned (the icon is not there anymore).
my guess is that even other programs that have this type of icon would cause the same thing..
anybody experienced this b4? any help
much appreciated
Yeah, MyMobiler shows down there but only when you have the standard wm 6.1 plugin home screen. It shouldn't appear there while sense is activated. I have it installed also and it doesn't show up. Try disabling sense and enable it back and see what happens.
yup..i already tried uninstalling..disabling and deleting reg and then restart phone and/or sense...it stays the same .. pls help...i dont wanna hard reset again...just got everything working as i wanted...
oh..and by the way, de unde ai gasit un hd2 in rom?
i had the same problem just after the install of e-Natives Showcase
i don't know if is this program to create the issue but just after i removed it the phone went back to normal.
Just a thought, but in
start - settings - all settings - today - items
is there anything more than just HTC sense ticked? Could be that it is trying to show the app, and then show the senseui which is then trying to stack.

[App] 18 buttons Action Screen with Wifi & BT state indicator

I have adapted the HD 18 buttons Action Screen, with Wifi and Bluetooth status indicator, to the Rhodium bluetooth stack.
All credit goes to Wedge666 (thread here), to posters in his thread for customisation and of course to first Action Screen developper (I would quote him if I knew. Anyone knows? Or was it adapted from a HTC application?).
As in the original from Wedge666, you trigger with Manila Home tab right soft key, and you can configure program to make it running in background if you wish (quicker?). You have no confirmation message on shut down or reset.
You get advice about installation and basic customisation explanation in the HD thread.
Thierry
EDIT : on Roms with Action Screen already installed, it may be difficult to completely uninstall this version. And you need to apply the fix here.
Thanks thierry2064,
Will try it.
Greetings from Lille
You are welcome!
I attach here the version I use now, black and white except for the network status indicator, plain black background. Links to Pocket informant, Opera Mobile, Resco Explorer, Tomtom.. but this is easy to change, as explained in the HD thread. I may personalize it later (the favorite people button is a "heart" game card now).
Thierry
not showing up
i followed instructions for this by installing mortscript then .net.
nothing showed up on home tab.
the softkeys phone(L) and menu(R) still remain from rom .
im using HTCSense2.5 Landscape|Rhodium_AF|WM65 23529 by ark on my att tilt 2.
so by using total commander i see that it is intalled and the config icon is in start menu and folder in windows.
but how do i make a softkey for this or shortcut or something?
help?
Did you reset ? By the way if you had the cab in the third post (NC for no color), pease do not install, because I forgot some blutooth files... I will upload corrected version later.
help
i soft reset after every step.
action screen works, but i had to find link via total commander.
only action screen config had link in start up menu.
i copied paste action screen link to start up menu via total commander but link was not pretty and i dont know how to change its icon.
also, neither the left or right soft key changed after installation as mentioned in my previous post.
any help is much appreciated.
could it be the rom i am using?
i used the color actionscreen cab
If you feel like to change the registry (take care, if you do some wrong change you could have to hard reset), you can go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
then change HomeRSKPath to \Windows\ActionScreen\LauchAction.exe and HomeRSKText to Action. Afetr reset you should see "Action" on the right low corner of the Home tab of Manila. If it does not work I do not know, maybe you shopuld ask on your Rom thread...
thanks
thanks for your advice.
doing regedit is alil beyond me bcuz i am new to this.
i still appreciate your effort.
Here is the version I use now. I added text, and warnings for Power Off and Reset. Customized to my needs, you have to see explanations in the HD thread to customize it to yours.
Here is a customization tutorial : http://www.techparaiso.com/customiz...how-to-assign-it-as-power-button-application/
I do not use Photoshop, the freeware Paint.net does the basic work. The icons could be nicer, if you make or find some nice icons, please share the background and the icons so that we can use it!
Can you please work on setting the action screen to the power button of TP2 instead? thank you for your great work...

Hi charlieb620
You need to close the Action Screen process manually using a task manager like dotfred's or schap's. You're looking for HTCActionScreen.exe.

when i try to overwrite or uninstall i get this message. i dont want to hard reset but i think i might. cause now my phone freezes when i go to my action screen. and yes i have mortscript and sdk installed. i cant do anything. i get that message. when i kill process i go back to try to uninstall and will just stay there iin programs list
I am wondering if it is not a problem with another version of action screen installed on the Energy ROM. Can you see another one in "remove program" ? Maybe this 18 button action screen is not compatible with the Energy Rom (I have a stock Rom).
Rename the extension

Hi charlieb620
Try using Total Commander to rename the extension of HTCActionScreen.exe to .ext or something like that. If it let's you, restart the device and you should be in business.

cannot uninstall cookies hometab 1.8.5

hi everyone im trying to uninstall cookies 1.8.5 due to the menu on the home page not workin at all. it highlights when i press it but nothing happens. i cant edit home layout or wallpapers or chteditor itself. it does work from the windows menu but not the the menu tab located at the bottom right of the screen. i was messing with the home layout personalizing it as ive had it since it came out (1.8.5). i had the previous cookies version before and never had a problem (1.7.1, 1.8.0). ive installed a quite a few apps including notification colors and colors for toggle and switches made by dinik that come in the 1.8.5 version of cookies. dont think theres any issues there as ive had them for a while now. i was going to uninstall cookies and reinstall it as im sure it everything would go back to normal again, but i try to and it say "not all of the program could be deleted do you want to remove from programs list?" i press yes but doesnt even erase it from the installed programs list. im stuck dont want to hard reset unless i really have to any advice? also i uninstalled the toggle and switches colors cab and the icons themselves have dissapeared except for the text under it but they do work when i click on them. i have the tmous hd2 with stock rom 2.10.531. thank for any help
I think this was a bug in 1.8.5, for some ROM's , I think there is an updated version, maybe just install over the top both the CHT and the Editor ...
I am not sure of this but I think I read it somewhere if I see it I will post it ...
this is something else i reinstalled cht on top of it and now seems like cht is completely removed besides the editor? that was kind of weird! im goin to reinstall it one more time to see what happens!!
Hi parmakr,
Have you tryed closing HTC Sense before you uninstall Cookie.
Had a problem removing a previous version of Cookie but closed Sense and then went to remove applications and it removed ok. Then just restarted Sense and everything was ok.
Hope this helps.
thanks guys for your help. what i did was reinstalled over the existing cookies 1.8.5 that was already there. i restarted the phone and all of cht was completely removed, how, i have no idea! so i installed it a second time and now everything is the way it should. sounds odd but whatever works i guess. so anyone that cant uninstall cht using the remove programs feature just install cht over the existing one and it should remove it completely, atleast for me it did! install it a second time and you should have it working fine. or take "rutster" advice wich seems the more reasonable way of doing it. would of tried that first but couldnt wait for people to post their advice! thanks though as i will try that next time i have an issue like this one!
Glad
Hey
Glad u managed to solve ur problem, i'm with Rutster about the sense deactivation 1st, coz this happened with my friend's phone and he managed to fix it that way.
Enjoy!!
I have the same problem...

Hi somebody
I have more or less the same problem: can't remove cookies home tab 1.85 from my HTC Pro 2, 6.5 device. I've read all the posts but nothing is exact the same.
I'have installed CHT 1.85 but it didn't work at all, later I tried to install CHT 2.00, the installation was not succesful because Pro 2 tries to remove CHT 1.85 first which appeared to be impossible. (Senze of, erarse RAM fully). Looks like system got froozen while undeleting. Please help because CHT looks great and very useful.Thanks
