[REQ] Blank Home Screen - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

I don't know if anyone else see's a point in this but i like to actually see my wallpaper instead of it being cluttered up
So i was wondering if there is a simple way to add a manilla tab that's just empty, which i can set as tab 0, and then the home screen on tab 1.
Code:
<Page Order="0" Name="wallpaper.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Wallpaper" >
</Page>
Editing code from the Comm Manager tab, as posted above, i wondered if something as simple as this would work?
I would test it but i have to dash so i'll leave it to the pro's
Thanks guys

Do you know about SecondToday? Does that meet your needs?

Yeah but i don't like it as it's another app i need to run, where as this would be built into manilla
I'll just test it and report back ^^
EDIT: it doesn't work

Where is the file for the " Touch Settings " ? You should start by attaching the settings file since this will be the main thread for Touch Settings
i posted detailed instructions as to how to get the "Touch Settings" program to work correctly on the Sprint Touch a few days ago. I'll re-post it over in the Vogue forum shortly

Please don't re-post this information, as I have now built a new version of the program that should work on the Sprint Touch without any special instructions required. It's been tested by Sprint users and seems to be working well so far.
You can download the beta (v1.29d) from www.fatattitude.com/software
For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
Best,
Carlos
Works great on HTC Touch! WooHoo!
Very Nice job. Very Nice, indeed.
Personally, I wanted the photo to launch the HTC Camera Album.lnk the way you can scroll with your finger & zoom, etc.
So, I created the Photos button in MediaHub to be:
\WindowsHTCAlbum.exe
Params: -mode:camera -type:image
when i try and install the settings app i get a error messsage about
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or settings cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions"
how do i chang it so i can install and run this.. thanks

If you look at the post at the top of this page by Carlos, you'll see he says, "For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556."
He also gives these suggestions:
- If you're installing to Storage Card, try installing to the Device instead.
- If you still get the error, try resetting your device and installing again - this honestly worked for me!
- Check there is enough free storage space on your device.
- Try a manual installation (zip file coming to first post shortly)
There are many posts about this in other threads, so you should be able to find the info you need.
Carlos,
Any reason to upgrade to 1.29e if d is working well?
Secondly, if we do upgrade - do you have to uninstall first? or can you overwrite the program?
I don't seem to be able to see a changes history. I'll keep looking.
carlos said there is a new touch settings version comming out soon where it will help implement animations and custom icons will show when the cube turns. WOOT. and we wont have to install the updated Exe, it will be updated for us.,.]
THANKS CARLOS!

I have spent a good deal of time getting my Sprint Touch to display my local weather by using N2A's "patched" HtcHome.dll which points at a server that does support my local weather (unlike the Htc's accuweather server). Now I would like to use 'Touch Settings' to easily customize what apps get launched from my 3x2 app launcher and the media hub buttons, but I'm not sure if I dare do this yet since I haven't seen anyone explain how 'Touch Settings' accomplishes displaying local weather.
Can anyone tell me how it does this? My concern is that it may conflict with the patched home plugin I already have working.

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Touch Settings updates the registry keys at \HKLM\Software\HTC\HomePlug\Weather\Settings
I don't think this should change your server settings etc, and it certainly won't change which .dll file your weather is pulled from.
Why not do a registry backup of that key, try out Touch Settings and if there are any problems, just restore your registry? I think you'll be OK with it.
Hi all
I have a new beta of Touch Settings v2.0 that I'd really like a couple of people to test for me, in particular people with Vogues and Touch Duals, especially pp18 and that other kind person who volunteered.
I have posted it in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&page=20
....if you could keep feedback in that thread for now please? Feels like we have too many threads going at once otherwise and gets confusing!
Thanks,
Carlos

Works great...thanks Carlos!
One thing I noticed would be interested in finding out if other Sprint Touch users are seeing: after updating my "On Demand" app launcher's button to open a different app in the mediahub, the "Demand" in the text "On Demand" is now half cut-off. I assume this text (which I would like to change anyway) is stored in the registry somewhere and is not editable via Touch Settings yet. I can spend some time researching which settings to manually change in the registry, but if you are going to add this feature soon to the app, then I won't spend the time.
Thanks again, regardless...

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Glad it's working for you! If you run Touch Settings, you should be able to click in the grey box where it says "On Demand" and change the text to anything you like... ...let me know if it doesn't work for any reason.

Thanks Carlos...I can't believe I didn't think to at least try tapping in there! (Oh me of little faith...)
Next minor issue:
I made my bottom mediahub button say "Voice Recorder", and the word "Recorder" wrapped to a second line which is half-way cut off. I see that text wraps on the middle button as well, and although it doesn't get cut off it does look off-center vertically. I don't know if there is any way to adjust the text vertically with the magic that you do, so for now I'll try to come up with one word labels for the buttons to avoid the issue.
I also am curous what parameter to use to get the HtcAlbum.exe to launch the Camera Album to display just videos, like the 2nd-row 3rd button in does in the 9 button app launcher that comes on the 3rd tab of the HTC Home plugin. Does anybody know what I need to supply? I believe there is a mode: option, but when trying "mode:video" it still only comes up displaying pictures, and it does so in portrait view, not in landscape view like it does from the app launcher (which I prefer). My apologies if this has been discussed already...thanks!

Carlos - this is kind of a QA issue with the interface. Can I make the suggestion that you change the color of that box from gray to something like yellow? The first few times I opened the app I thought it was the typical "grayed out" box -- meaning I couldn't edit it. Whereas when I see a yellow box it grabs my attention and suggests I should be doing something with it...

Remove "Start" Text?

Hey guys, I've been searching the forums and can't find a way to remove the start text. How do I do this?
Thanks
bump
if I wasn't specific enough, I don't want it to say Start on the today screen. I only want the windows logo to be there.
thanks
I searched a while back, couldn't find out how to do that either. I also wanted to removed the gradient background behind it on the home screen. That would allow me to use smarttook kit's auto-hide feature. Free home some home screen space and add a pretty cool affect. I don't know if it's in the registry or not, but I looked on my Excalibur and couldn't make it happen. I also tried a few things in the homescreens xml file. Still drew a blank.
Hopefully someone knows how to do this.
wisbar advance can do it
Possible in one of the "today*.dll" files. I tried to copy to desktop so I can take a look but can't gain access.
Anyone know how to get system files off a device?

How to set iContact on TF3D-Peoples-TabĀ“s left key

Hey guys,
I want to set the left shortkey at the TF3D-Peoples-Tab to start iContact. Is there a registrykey to modify this?
At the moment, i have to go to the dailer to start iContact
Greetings

HLKM>Software>HTC>Manila>HomeLSK Text and Path
to whatever you want.
Have you managed to get iContact to work okay as I have found the text to be far too small to be useable.
Regards
Thanks for the quick answer. I will test it.
You have to install the VGA Version of iContact like Burts Edition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724
And there are a lot of VGA-Skins, that look very nice on HD:

But at this regkey, you can only modify the shortkeys at the TF3D-Homescreen
I want to modify the left shortkey only at the Peoples-Tab. At the moment the is a shortcut to the "normal" WiMo-Contacts-App
+1 i'm also interested

Apologies. Now I have read what you want, I also want that!! I found a .cab file icontact v0.5 which was supposed to replace the registry entries to launch iContact but that hasn't worked on the HD and it appears that the registry layout is slightly different.

nobody has an idea on this ?
I think I found something to will be able to help in a close future but it not working for me

home tab - appointments in further future possible?!

hi there! i just have one or two appointments per week and i wondered if i can show up these on home tab when they begin in further future (like two or three days or a week) instead of just one day. i hope you understand what i mean...
maybe it's just a value in the registry i have to change from 1 to X to extend the period. but i don't know where to look at! any hints?
thx in advance.
excuse me for pushing this thread, but i'm wondering if this is just a stupid question from me and just a windows mobile included setting i cannot find or really noone knows how to change. can't believe that i'm the only one who would like to have this feature!
or is my english that bad?
Have a look at this mod being developed. this should give you what your looking and more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483
HTH
okay, it really seems that my english is the reason why nobody understand what i would like
at first, thank you for the link. but as far as i can see (and on the screenshots) the mod is only to have MORE appointments at home screen. but i would like to show up the appointments EARLIER.
as example: i have to visit the dentist in - let's say 5 days. but this appointment should be shown on homnescreen today - not just in 5 days...
do you know now what i mean?
your english is fine.. there's just no registry value for it.. at least not one that I can find.. would be nice to have a setting for that in Sense itself..
Althought it seems logical to have just today's appointments on the "Today Screen" don't you think?
You could set a reminder for a few days before.. not quite the same, I know, but it works..

Im runnin 1.43 stock o2 rom and this mod works perfectly so far apart from a slight graphical misalignment for the alarm button. You should post your issues on Co0kies thread, if you havent done so already, and maybe he will address them.
As for the home tab showing more than todays i have an appointment set for 13/02 and 2 on 15/02 and its showing it on my home tab using Co0kies mod .

I can confirm its working, on default you see an upcoming event in 7 days if no other appointmens are before. See his tips on the registry settings for more days.
i was afraid of testing it, because i thought there is maybe a conflict with my 5x5 shortlinks mod i already have installed.
but i have just tried it and it works perfect! the appointment are shown as i wanted! many thx to all of you.

FolioWidget

0.4
it's a widget : add it to your deskop
tap on the clock the open the control menu
Resize this widget to something like 4*1
What's up ?
- VM heapsize tuning for better performances in big applications
- Wifi network SSID shows on the widget
- Change LCD density ( select new one and folio reboot with the new one, the trick is not permanent )
Like ever if you like click Thanks
I do this on top of my job so there's few chances i respond to personnal mp.
I'm sorry for the inconveniences but i'll try to read yours comments.

would a value of 255 (ff) not do it? at least make then incredible unresonsive or?
i will check the kernel registers if we got some other bit's to modify so we can disable them..
btw,
looks like Malata actually took Honeycomb 3.0 solutions into account here buttonwise.

here is your fix , you asked for:
here is the command to disable light buttons completely (will enable after a poweroff)
DISABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8800 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
ENABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8801 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
Requested by user, not my idea here. but probably very handy with AndroidOS 3.0 when its out. (good for TntMod as they got buttons on screen)
thank you Dexter
Sol Ido, is it possible to add this trick in your next release ?
Any questions
