The 2 bottom menu options, can it be changed? - Touch HD General

Hi,
I dont know the correct name or term of that, but see the red arrow in the below screen shot.
Can that "Phone" and "Program" be changed?
For example, change to "Calendar" and "Contact"
Thanks.

Huge menus...

I now have my HD.
But whenever I click on one of the bottom menus (you know, the one that says 'menu' or something in the bottom left) I get a massive menu.
Two questions: Would SPB Shell sort this out? Or is there another way to tell I I don't want mahoosive menus? (The 'start' menu has been shrunk already!)

You can adjust this to something smaller. HTC has deliberately made it big to be finger friendly, but that results in scrolling for some program with longer list of items on the menu. I think under the tips and tricks thread you can see how to do it.
Cheers.
It also says in the user manual that this is the case and it shows you how to change it.

Are you talking about the start menu or the bottom menu? The start menu text size can be changed as described in page 41. In which page can you find how user could change the bottom menu text size?
The registry key has been mentioned in the Tips and Trick section. Alternatively, you can also change it using SKTools.

which of the two do you want to delete? the internet mobile of the HTC one?
Anyway, it does not matter which one you want to delete. IMHO there are two ways to delete one of them:
1. On the internet tab, yo have on the bottom two possibilities, e.g. menu and favorites. Press menu and you will get the items add or remove favorite quicklink. Press the x of the one you want to delete and its finished. If that does not work, the you can try:
2. Instead of pressing the menu on the bottom, press favorites. Also, there you have on the right bottom the menu possibility. Press menu and choose delete. When you pressed delete, you will see empty squares right to each favorite. Tick the one you want to delete and press ready (left bottom knob). Job done.
With a registry editor, have a look at
HKLM/software/htc/manila/Home/ and you will see a set of numbers, 0-9 (or more)
These are the links on the home page.
Have a look in the 0 one, and scroll down to 'IsReadOnly'. I think that will be set to 1, , change that to 0 and it should unlock the shortcut, then you can delete it.

I am sure that the solution posted by samsamuel and kuzibri is not working.
The way to delete is very simple for me, tap and hold the shortcut you want to delete until a notice "Drag and release the shortcut to remove" appeared. Then, pull it out of thumbnail area, done!
However, I am not sure it work always because I used Co0ckie Home Tab V 1.7.1 and CHTEditor 1.7.1

The key setting is located under HKLM\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas\LargeBTN.
I can switch mine from "All Contacts" to "Video Call" but not sure how to change the key to something else or how to add right key function.
thanks!!

Editing/Removing Bottom Bar

Hi (I'm new here!)
I'm trying to set up my Touch 2 so that it looks and feels exactly how I want it, and I'm nearly there. The only issue I have is the bottom bar. On the home screen it current has "Phone" and "Contacts" as its default, and I'd love to either change it or (preferably) remove the bottom bar completely. I trawled through the user guide from htc.com and I've tried using the Search here to no avail so I just thought I'd ask. Any clues?
Thanks in anticipation....
(by the way, how do I take a screenshot of my phone to post on here?)
Hello,
I think you mean the softkeys...well, as far as i know there is no option to remove them but you can change them with this tool:

To make a screen shot you can use this program...but there are many more.......when you search

Removing taskbar icons

I was able to remove these when i first got my phone, but now ive changed roms and need to do it again, i cannot find out how to delete some of the icons in the bottom taskbar, ie. footprints,music,social club,stocks etc...
whats the way to get rid of a few, have tried googling, searching this site and am not having any luck
thanks
first of all, what you are referring to are called "tabs" on the "tab bar" of manila/sense. knowing this will help you refine your searches next time.
the process for modifying the order and visibility of tabs is simple! on the home tab, open the menu bound with the right soft key called "Menu". the second option called "Personalize Home Screen Tabs" should do the trick!
in some cooked ROMs, this menu is removed and replaced with other custom options. on such ROMs, swipe to the Settings tab and choose "Personalize". there you will find the same option named "Home screen tabs".
