Hi all,
Hopefully somone is able to help me with this.
Before i flashed my ROM last night, i had the 'Wireless' today plug-in (the one showing your provider, BT status and WiFi Status) set up to launch the connection manager when it was tapped.
I am sure that i set this up by adding a DWORD titled 'Selectability' with a vlaue of '1' to the Wireless section in the registry.
However, i have tried putting this entry back in with a new rom, and it dosent launch the connection manager anymore
Any ideas???
Found this in another thread!

It's easy. just need modify registry
HKLM/CONTROLPANEL/wrlsmgr
New string "Redirect", make the value any program you like, such as
Redirect = "\windows\commmanager.exe" will open the commmanager.exe when you tap it.

also the selectability makes it selectable in the front screen by touch and d-pad (set it to 2)
OK I was working in the customization of the HTCHomeplug.
What is HTCHomeplug? If you own a HTC X7500 Advantage (the HTC make of Athena or Ameo) then in the Today screen you got a plugin that shows some icons like Battery, Rotation, Comm Manager, Screen Light, Quick GPS and TVOut. What I discovered is who to deal with this plugin in order to change the icons and applications associated there.
I used PHM Registry to edit entries at the PPC registry, but you can use the editor of your like.
First is access using the registry editor to this entry:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/HTCHomeplug
There is the configuration of the plugin. There we will find two entries pointing to the first two icons (Battery and Rotation) that seems to be configured in a different way that the rest of the icons. Those are the two DWORD entries:
PowerIconSlot with value of 0 (this means the first position in the plugin)
RotateIconSlot with value of 1 (this means the second position)
The rest of the positions in the HTCHomeplug appears like KEY entries with names from 2 to 5 meaning positions 3 to 6 in the plugin bar.
Inside each key (2 to 5) we find 3 values (or entries):
1- iconindex DWORD type of Decimal which contains 103 in the case of entry KEY 2
2- LaunchApPath STRING contains the path to the executable file associated to the icon
3- ResPath STRING contais the path to the resource file which contais the icon image poited by iconindex entry. This path points to a DLL or EXE file containing the icon image.
So... since we want to add a icon/application we need to create the entry KEY 6 and we must create both STRING entries and DWORD one inside the KEY 6.
To add Tomtom Navigator in the HTCHomeplug (as an example) I added:
iconindex = 101
LaunchApPath = \Program files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe
ResPath = \Program files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe
So I'm using the icon storaged in the Tomtom Navigator executable file itself and my Tomtom is in the path I show in the entry. Off course this could not match your installation.
How I found the iconindex information that points to the icon in the Tomtom's EXE file??? Easy I used a program called RViewer (for PPC) develop by Vicott Wong. The program can by found in Google or in the web page shown in the About screen.... http://mobile-sg.com
Running that program and browsing the EXE file (or a DLL) we can see the index for each resource and if it's an image the image is display in the screen, so I found the 101 is the index for the Tomtom icon inside de EXE file.
Once the entries in the Registry are done the rest is easy. Just go into Start - Configuration - Personal - Today and int the Elements Tab. There unmark the HTCHomeplug and exit the configuration going into the Today screen to check that the plugin is not in the screen. Then we back to the Today configuration and select again the HTCHomeplug to mark it. Once we are back into the Today screen we will see the new icon.
(OK in the previous paragraph I'm translating the menu options and clicks from my spanish release of WM5 into english one so the names could not match... what you need to do is configure Today screen to remove the plugin and to configure again to insert the plugin, that way the plugin is reseted and the new icons loaded).
I did several tests and looks like the HTCHomeplug only supports 7 icons (0 to 6) but since many of the original icons are not use on daily bases we can setup up to 5 programs in that plugin leaving the Battery and Rotary icons in its place.
I hope this is useful... and I beg your pardon for my poor english.

Excellent post and thanks for your efforts and sharing! I'll be trying this out later. Just what I was looking for.
I'll report my experiences later.
Excellent! I will try this!
When using TrueVGA, does anybody know a way of making the icons work? I see only 1/4th of an icon, and it's even the wrong icon. The only icon is the one for the Light Settings...
Anybody know the iconindex for Opera so i can have the Opera icon instead of Web&Walk icon!
Mahjong tells you how to find it...

No Joy I'm afraid...
I'm afraid that it hasn't worked for me on the Ameo. Maybe it's due to how T-Mob have configured/altered things with their customisation of their ROM.
I reverted to using the TrayApplet in the same regedit folder that the HTCHompeplug resides in, but to no avail.

No HTC Plugin on the Ameo Today settings menu either, but visible in HLKM...software etc...as the HTCHomeplug.
I can get some of my choice of programs in the TrayApplet, but not the associated icons!!??!!
Same as before when I tried. Anyone else with an Ameo who has had success in getting it to work with the right icons?
Hi,
Thanks for the tip, it's really useful! I wanted to customize the plugin but didn't have the patience to go through all the registry.
Twp questions though:
- I made a shortcut for the calculator (calc.exe) but the icon is too big (both res. index 0 or 100 in calc.exe). Is there a way to scale it down, or a smaller calculator icon in another file? What's the "main" icon library for Windows Mobile (the equivalent of shell32.dll under Windows)
- I tried to make a shortcut to the phone application, but I can't find the exe file (the Start menu shortcut doesn't point to an exe file, but to :MSCProg?......). And I can't find the icon either...
Please help.
Regards,
Silviu
Hi silviu.h.
Which Athena device do you have, Advantage, Dopod or Ameo?
Hi, I have the HTC Advantage (not Ameo, not Dopod), and the vanilla french ROM.

Thanks for the reply. That would explain why to a large extent it works on your device.
P.S. try \Windows\HTCICON.dll (I think that is the equivalent to shell32.dll)
Let us know how you get on.
Thank you for your answer.
The hack from mahjong works OK, except for the quirks I have already posted above (the Calc.exe icon is too big and I can't find the main icon store). htcicon.dll doesn't exist
However it's OK for Tomtom.
I'll keep you posted on my findings (I'm not giving up, I just have to go to bed )
See you,
Silviu

Yeah that was the reason for adding this to my note: "If you own a HTC X7500 Advantage (the HTC make of Athena or Ameo) then in the Today screen you got a plugin..."

Well, you can simply enable it on the T-Mobile Ameo using the following Reg-Keys:
- Navigate to: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items
- Create a new Key named: HTC-Homeplug (or whatever you like)
- Navigate into that key
- Create the following items under that key:
String: DLL
Value: htchomeplug.dll
DWORD: Enabled
Value: 0 (or 1 if you want to enable it directly)
DWORD: Flags
Value: 0
DWORD: Options
Value: 0
DWORD: Order
Value: 0
DWORD: Type
Value: 5
After doing the above go to your today-screen settings and the Homeplug plugin is there...
Cheers
I seem to have BOTH HTCHomeplug and Trayapplet on my Ameo
It seems that there is a today item [email protected] or something I can turn on/off that doesnt appear to do anything, I beleive this is turning on/off the HTCHomeplug.
Because Trayapp is already on, and overwriting the HTChomeplug you only see its icons, therefor the homeplug is hidden.
I will experiment with turning off trayapp then turning on the @home today item and see what happens, but it looks like a lot of the confusion for Ameo users is the fact both are installed.
I did a hard reset, and didnt fiddle with the home/tray stuff, so this is how the rom set it up!
HKLM/software/htc/HTCHomeplug
HKLM/software/htc/TrayApplet
Both have keys of (and ONLY of),
PowerIconSlot=0
RotateIconSlot=1
In them.
Under HKLM/software/microsoft/today/items/[email protected]
DLL=hztdplug.dll

The T-Mobile plugin has nothing to do with the HTC-Homeplug. HTC-Homeplug provides the sam functionality as the TrayApp.
The [email protected] Today Plugin is only useful for T-Mobile customers as it provides functions for HomeZone users.
The dll name hztdplug.dll means HomeZoneTodayPlugin...
If you want to use the HTC-HomePLug plugin you have to create the registry key I've posted above.
Cheers
Ok, I dont want the homezone rubbish.
But im still stuck with both HTCHomeplug and Trayapp
How do I enable/disable the trayapp? That doesnt seem to have any today element to it. I cant get icons working at all in trayapp and wanted to try the HTCHomeplug as that looks a much more userfriendly app.

Go to HKLM\init
Delete the Launcher for TrayAp.exe. On mine it is Launch92...
Make a Softreset after you changed this setting and the TrayAp is gone.

Thanks!
I now have the HTC Homeplug working, and the trayapp gone! W00t!
I like the bigger icons, and now I can edit them better im happy. Much nicer.
Anyone thought about coding a contol panel applet for this homescreen plugin??

If you use combination of Spb pocket plus and Commmgrpro, you don't need to deal with these problems of wrong size icons in the comm manager and home plug. Both of these need not be used at all.
I'm yet to find a replacement for Spb GPRS monitor though. SPb GPRS monitor also have problem displaying in true VGA. There are some but they do not show the kbps figure - only the downloaded volume.
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help. In the SBP panel there's a nice 'rotate screen' button under the tool menu.
Now i've got TFL3D installed and would like a quick way to rotate screen (I use TomTom7 and the phone is held in a generic car holder horizontally)
I liked to rotate the screen quickly then start up tom tom (As the onscreen keyboard is thumbable when horizontal)
Now using TFL3D there's no quick way (you have to goto start menu/settings/system/screen)
I was wondering is there anyway it can be installed as a program somehow and added to the program page?....Thoughts?
Thanking you in advance.
What I did is I made one of my silver hard buttons be a Portrait/Landscape toggle button.
To do this, go to Start --> Settings --> Personal tab --> Buttons
Now you can choose the left or right silver key, and under "Assign a program" you can pick "<Rotate Screen>".
By pressing it and re-orienting the phone at the same time, I accidentally fooled a friend into thinking that it has an accelerometer lol cuz he didn't notice me pressing it.
too bad we can only map 2 keys... I want to remap camera and panel button

Yeh, I did think of that, but I prefer the mappings of my hard buttons to be 'more useful' i.e. something that I use all the time, rather than the rotate function.
I was primarily asking if an .exe could be written that would rotate the screen, I then could install it as a program and add to the program screen.
Does any of the programmers here think that's possible? (I'm gonna admit that this is kind of a begging post)

Regesteryyyy?
so..nobody has any ideas then?
I use AE Button Plus to map double clicking the camera button (pressed just lightly, not enough to take a picture) to rotate the screen.
The line in AEBPlus.cfg is
Key 00c5 a0000 a0015 a0000 a0000
...though you can also go through the File menu and select Add button.
The default action for the button is nothing, so it's a good choice for something like this.

First, download and install Mortscript via http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29
Second, create a file tomtom.mscr that contains the following script:
Code:
If ( ProcExists("TomTom Navigator.exe") )
Show("TomTom Navigator")
Else
Run( "\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe" )
EndIf
Sleep(1000)
If (ExternalPowered())
Rotate 270
EndIf
Third, create a shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs to this tomtom.mscr file.
And if you want a nice TomTom-icon for your shortcut, change the shortcut file to:
Code:
24#"\My Documents\tomtom.mscr"?\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe,-0
(my tomtom.mscr is in \My Documents)
After this you have a shortcut to start TomTom if not started yet, to quickly show TomTom if already started, and it will automatically rotate the screen if it is charging in your car holder.

Awesome! Works a treat, thank you so much
HOME page within Touchflo changed to a new one with "Today plugins" - and WORKING !!!
I was trying different settings with my HD and managed to change my Touchflo "HOME" page to a different page which can handle all the Today plugins within Touchflo.
Now I have the Touchflo and the first tab is a new tab which can handle plugins => so on my new Manila HOME page I have now Pocket Informant, SPB tasks, SPB weather and Time.... so it's like a normal Winmobile "Today page" with plugins but within Manila and at the place of the original home tab of Touchflo. The hardware "Home" button is directing to the new plugin ready homepage. So everyting works as before but my fisrt tab the HOME is much much better than is was before and I still use the Tiouchflo. The original Touchflo Home page I put at the end of the tabs - so its my last tab at the moment but it is still there if I need.
(I'm not an expert so it was result of trying and guessing and using some good programs from others here. Maybe someone more clever described this or a better method already but anyway here is how I did it...)
I have stock English ROM.
1. Installed Singh_s_Tings_HTC_TF3D_15 tabs cab (big thanks for the developer)
2. Installed Manila Today Page cab (MTP_Install_v0.3.3.0.cab) (big thanks for the developer)
=> which is really a great program to have an additional, Today plugin capaple tab within Touchflo. And the page has its own "windows" icon.
3. In Resco (or other) Registry editor => go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration
=> there I have "folders" numbered from 0 to 14 in my case (as I have 15 tabs in Touchflo).
"0" - is the original Touchflo HOME page (and it can be moved!!!)
"14" - (in my case - but it depends on your page order) is my MTP (Manila Today Page additional tab with plugin capacity).
The number shows/determines the order of the tabs as they will appear in Touchflo. So you can mix the tab order as you wish by re-numbering the folders containing the tab infos.
4. I simply renamed the folder numbered with "0" to 14 => this moved the original Touchflo Home page to the last place in my tab order.
5. And I simply renamed the folder "14" to "0" => and this moved my MTP plugin page to the first tab where the original Manila Home page was.
(did some false numbering in the process not to have 2 tabs with same name to be on the safe side - maybe unnecessary?)
=> Soft reset the HD
So my tab order is now:
0.MTP - with all my plugins (PI, tasks, weather, profiles etc. (works with the HOME button perfectly)
1 Communications
2 People
3 Messages
4 Mail
5 Programs
6 Calendar
7 Internet
8 Weather
9 Stock
10 Photos and Videos (Album)
11 Music
12 Sound Settings
13 Missed calls
14 Original Touchflo Home page
The New MTP HOME tab which is the starting tab now inTouchflo has a built-in softkey named "home" => when you push it it directs to the original Touchflo Home page.
The HTC home hardware button directs automatically to the first tab, which is the new MTP Home page with plugins .....
Now I have Touchflo but with a much better Home page than the original ...and can use all my today plugins for touchflo.
"Screen 12" attached => shows ManilaTodayPage at the place of HOME page
"Screen 13" attached => shows original HOME as last tab.
That's amazing, I've been using MTP for a few days now but I'm going to follow your advice to make it my homepage.
Quick question: Can you tell me what programs you are using for the shortcuts at the top and which is your calendar app?
I'm hoping somewhere to find a list of all software with Today screen plugins so I can pick and choose.
Cheer's buddy
So how do you get the ManilaTodayPage program to display the tasks on the Today page? Mine won't do that, and the option to display in the MTP options is greyed out so it can't be chosen ? I'm using MTP v0.3.6.0 rather than v0.3.3.0.
Thx
Dave
Hi ,
so I'm using the following today plugins within MTP
starting from the top:
1. SPB "Pocket Plus"
The 6 colored icons are expanding for grouping other programs to start
so under each icon there are lot of possibilities to start applications, files, setting etc. When not pushed they shrink to this state back.
2. Inesoft Today plugin (from Inesoft Phone 4) => its a profiler for ringtones + switching on/off bluetooth wifi, ringtone, backlight setting
(its not a standalone prog but part of the Phone4)
3. SPB Time (world clocks)
4. SPB weather (expanding further to show more data)
5. SPB Diary (you can customize it to show appointments, task, mail, birthdays, notes etc )
I use Pocket Informant as PIm manager ( SPB Diary takes the info from PI)
What I really like that from any page I can jump back to this stating home page with the HOME hardware buttons.
So this is my Touchflo home page with screenshots (expanded plugins)
Hi, I have two questons:
1. where do I find this MTP cab?
2. Will it work on a my Touch HD with Dutch ROM?
regards and thanks, kuzibri

I installed the 15 tabs program and MTP, and its working on my HD except for the fact that in my registry I do not see in the configuration 14 folders but only 10. So I'm not able to rename folder 14 to 0, etc. Any help - suggestions on how to (re)arrange that.

Where did you get this?? Google search only brings up THIS thread!
Just like A/B/C... you learn, you manage, then MASTER.
There are a million thread's about rotation control with application's, but i never found a solution to control rotation you can manage yourselve, using Gsensor without an application like: Rotate screen, accelerometer,Changescreen,G-config, Gyrator or G-sen to name a fiew.
I use WM 6.5 Energyrom with SPB 3.5.3 and use Rotate screen with the Send "Long Hold" button to rotate screens, but this function took a second or 2 to rotate and I dont like to wait %#*@%.
I wanted to auto-rotate my screen's without waiting for it. Just turn my mobile and the screen would follow .
I found a great solution by MAMV to rotate screen in SPD and this guy even made a .CAB, so it was downloading and installing and done. You can find it on XDA.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616158 <many thanx to him and his solution>.
After installing I found out this would only rotated the SPD screens, not the HTC screens. SMS or Email was still in portrait view.
Using the explaination MAMV gave in his thread, i started my own function to rotate SMS and Email. It took me 2 hours to find the solution, but it works
I started looking if someone had the same problem and found a solution, but all came up with none, but i found a thread by David K. that gave me a good start... http://www.fuzemobility.com/gsen-now-enabled-in-more-apps/

How it works and how you manage your rotation of applications yourselve without installing an APP for it, i will give my explaination how i did it for the SMS / MMS function. (this one works for Email too )
Using Total Commander, navigate to:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Calculator. Select File > Copy. \\\registry\HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName\Calculator
Select Copy and save it to \windows
Find the Calculator.reg "file" you just copied with Total commander. Rename it to whatever you like aslong as you keep the .reg . (I called mine Messenger.reg, this will return below at section B: 2)
A:
Adjusting the .reg file properties
Select this "File" and view the Properties. Edit the properties like this:
1: Select tab "Associate" and tab on the button Associate...
2: Change the "Command" to: \Windows\tmail.exe
3: Change the "Parameter" to: -service "SMS"
4: If i am correct the "Icon file" will auto fill itself, but should have these
parameters: \windows\tmail.exe
5: Index: 0 and -1001
Press OK and press OK again, now your .reg file is finished.
Explaination of parameters and how i found these:
The parameter at 3: i found out with Task manager V3.1 (other versions could work, but i have this one).
I first opened the sms box and then started Task manager and searched the process Tmail. Then looked at the path in this process and found \windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS". This i used in the "3: parameter" of the .reg file)
Then i looked at the Details of "tmail.exe" and opened the tab "Windows".
Here i found Window 7C0883E0 "SMS / MMS" Inbox.MainWnd (this i need in the registry and will come back below at B: 5).
NOTE: You can find the window 7C0883E0 easily, because it is the only one lighted up .
B:
Make new Registry settings for the assigning of G-sensor rotation to SMS / MMS
I used Total commander to navigate to: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
1: make a new string called "SMS / MMS".
2: Contents for <SMS / MMS>: \windows\Messenger.reg (our own made .reg file)
Hit OK and this one is finished.
3: Now navigate to: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
4: make a new string called "SMS / MMS".
5: Contents for <SMS / MMS>: Inbox.MainWnd
Hit OK and this one is finished too
C:
Getting the AUTO-ROTATION to work:
Just soft reset your device and find out if it works.....and i was happy that it did LOL.
This Thread was specially made for AUTO-ROTATION without installing an application.
Other applications can be done likewise, just find out the parameters and make the ABC
A: Change a .reg file parameters. (find your settings with Task manager)
B: Make new strings in the register @ "ModuleName" and "WhiteList".
C: Softreset your device.
Hope this was usefull to some of you.
Well Kwbr's latest 6.5 roms have it built in so maybe they might interest you. It can be quite annoying though tbh so your edits here might help out.
Thanks for the info.
I stick to Energyrom. It is as complete as it gets with applications and updates. Have tried many roms the last few months, but they all work the same.
Now i found out SPB mobile shell and am surprised how convenient it works. Even my main memory stays 50% so it works flawlesly.
Some edits/improvements made by my own makes it even more pleasant to work with
