is there any way to "unlock" panels ? My X1 has a O2 "branding" panel right in the center of the panels. i cant remove it because it is "locked" like the "Today" Panel (first Panel).

You can try to change it to Google Panel: see topic

thanx for pointing this topic out.
you can unlock the panels very simple:
i.e.:
The vodafone panel can be unlocked by changing the key HKLM/Software/SonyEricsson/PanelManager/Panels/Vodafone Panel/Locked to 0.
after the unlock you can change the panel like any other panel !

How to put switch between the dialer skins?!

i am sooo confused how to changer the dialer skins whihc i came across when i was playing around my XDA2! i found there are two skins 1 from o2 and the other the microsoft one, how can i change the skins of the phone dialer?! any help will be appericated
Dialer Skins
From the O2 Active screen, go Tools>View>Dialer Skin. I use the Windows 'original skin' because the buttons are easier to see in the car (none of those infernal bubbles...!)
Gadget 8)
where is the O2 Active screen?
DAMN u lot are the best!!!! u no everything! thanks u very much most aperciated! and the o2 active screen is the screen when u tap the o2 on the top of the pda
how do i change it without goin to o2 active as 1 one of them i uninstalled all o2 stuff!...this may b pushing my luck but how do i 1) chnage the alarm volume and/or change it 2) change the rintone to play and mp3 rather than having to use a inferior wav file?!
i'm sorry, i can't find O2 on top of the PDA. where exactly is this?
okay go to start and it should be on the list of programs but it will be called o2 active
When you get bored with the default skins, I have some you can have for free. All details etc on my site.
Cheerio
Howard
I used the free program that creates your own dialer skin for free. You can change the opacity of the buttons or no buttons at all, just the numbers. It's very customizeable.
Dialpad Maker by Bong, search on Pocketgear. That's what I used.

HTC P3600 (Trinity) screen orientation

Hi all,
does anybody know if there's a way to quickly change between landscape & portrait on the Trinity - or to set up a hot key to do so?
Thanks.
Of course there is. For instance, install SPB Pocket Plus and assign Rotate Screen Left or Rotate Screen Right to one of Trinity's buttons. There are actually many applications that offer screen rotating function.
You don't need any tool. Just use the normal WM5 settings to assign new functions to key 1 (voice recording) and key 2 (camera). One of the selections is "<Rotate screen>". The assigning of "<Rotate screen>" to the "voice recording" key was one of first things I changed in the Trinity settings.
What about on the screen
...thanks for that, but I kind of like those keys for the camera and sound recording. Is there any way you can put a shortcut on the Today screen to perform the same task?
In Today screen there is by default an icon to rotate the screen!
Icon?
I can't find a default icon on the Today screen for changing screen orientation - can you tell me what it looks like and where it should be?
Thanks

This is part of the HTC-plugin. It should be installed on your device if you have an unbranded Trinity by HTC. It includes a battery indicator and icons for the light settings, the comm manager and the rotation. Those four icons should be in a line somewhere on your today screen.
Exactly.
Starting from left to right I have:
Battery status - Screen orientation - Comm. Manager - Light adjustment
In particular the screen orientation icon is the one with the picture of the P3600 and the stylus pointing its screen
ah!..found it - i could have sworn the screen orientation icon was for something else. Thanks to all.

How to change Softkeys in SE Panel 1

Hello community,
got my Xperia a few days ago.
Still searching for some options to customize it.
Now there's a thing i dind't find in any forums i searched:
How can i change the softkeys in the SE Panel 1?
The default is:
Left: Update (update web feeds)
Right: Options (for customizing the panel)
I'd like to have the left key starting the phone app like it's in the standard WM6 panel.
Does anyone know how to change it?
Thanks in advance
Horst
Hm, no one?
I wonder if it's actually possible to change that?
Try looking at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355818
Could work for X1 also.
I used Wisbar Advanced 3 to change the Softkeys
Best Regards

[App Needed]Start Menu replacement for wm 6.1

I'm searching for really big icons in start menu with names under icons... Something like when i press start button on today screen to show full screen grid menu like Omnia 2 or something like wm 6.5 start menu.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0RgdSYB3JY&eurl=http:/%2
Here you can view Omnia 2 start menu(starts around 0:10). Big finger friendly icons, side draging to the other tabs...

Jeannette
Thank you very much. To bad don't have skins and themes (can only change colours) nor option to change icons of the apps, but it's good and usefull app. Thank you very very much again.
It can't be mapped to the Start key.
Since I have an i780 I really need that feature.

Panoramic Launchpad can be mapped to start bar and then if you want even more map with AE Button to the key of choice
Correct me if I'm wrong but the final build of wm6.5 is not ready yet.I really hate betas .

Appointments on the Lockscreen

Hi
Are there any options to show more appointments on the lockscreen than ONE?
One event is a little bit less for a good overview.
Thanks for help.
Hi!
I don't know much about WM 6.5 default lock screen. But I use S2U2 and you can configure it to show several (I guess it's up to 7) appointments in its lock screen.
i mean the HTC Sence Lockscreen:

They know what you mean, which is why they suggested slide2unlock. It's a replacement for the WINDOWS lock screen (not HTC), that does what you ask.
Just to check whether anyone tested the Slide2Unlock application on WM.5 or HD2?
I try to do a search in this forum but it seems that only the old version is available and nobody is developing that application anymore.

Err, not true. The thread you want is in the Development & Hacking Forum. To download you need to access AC's website (the author) which is one of the download links within the relevant thread.

My friend told me that he saw some of the HTC Device using the WM6.5 have a better unlock screen than the HD2 or Leo which will show the Number of SMS and Missed Calls details on the lock screen instead of the numbering on the lock button.
Managed to find this program to replace the stock lock and unlock screen, you can display number of SMS, MMS, Emails or Missed Calls instead of the number beside the Lock Icon.

well, s2u2 is nice for XDA Herald, but not for the HD2.
The standard-lockscreen on the HD2 is much pretty nicer than the s2u2 for me.
are there no reg-hacks on xda-developers???
I totally agree with cms. The windows mobile lockscreen is excellent but it only shows one damn appointment! Surely this has got to be possible?

Yeah, I too like the standard lock screen, would be nice if it showed more appointments though.
Not keen on installing S2U2.
Would be amazing if someone modded the lock screen.
I installed S2U2 on my HD2 and agreed on most of the comments. The standard lock screen looks better but is too basic. The S2U2 has all the info I needed but I cannot get rid of the standard windows one so I ended up having 2 unlock screen now which is annoying. Does anyone know how to disable the standard one?

BSB Tweaks does that.
Or Settings>Security>block phone> untick block screen.
But in my opinion s2u2 is better, it shows the sms, mms, email, and tasks that original htc dont
regards
Just as a matter of interest, do you guys who say you don't like S2U2 know you can customise it by putting in your own wallpapers and/or gifs? You can even have the wallpaper change at regular intervals, giving you a fresh look whenever you wish.
So what you can do, if you wish, is to have a wallpaper that closely resembles the standard lock's wallpaper but sat in S2U2. You then get a better lock application with the look you are after.
WB
PS: If you knew all this but still like the standard item then ignore me.
I like the standard lock screen and would very much like more than 1 appt to be shown. I have tried S2u2 but i find it a bit bloated now, it is very capable and works but i just find it too big/bloated.
Is there a way we could tweak the MS lock screen?

Thanks. Interestingly I cannot find the block phone function under Security so I disable it through S2U2.
As it happens I was also fiddling with the latest version of S2U2 yesterday evening. Hadn't used it since I had my TP.
I'm running XannyTech's latest rom and when I use S2U2 as a replacement for the win6.5 lock, my Manila sliding tabs on the bottom slide behind the bottom bar where the softkeys are displayed on.
Anybody seen this before? I seem to remember that there was a little program to correct that but can't find it back.
Tried fiddling with S2U2' settings but disabling bottom and top bar did not help either.
if anybody knows how to correct that, would be great to hear.
ps: when uninstalling S2U2 and soft reset puts the manila sliding tabs back where they should be...

S2U2 is definitely the way to go if you want to configure the lockscreen to add more calendar entries. But I never got the hang of using the alert bubbles sitting in the bottom right corner of the screen as they were too hard to press with my thumb, one-handed.
I posted in the S2U2 thread about this but the suggestion there was to go back to the original WM lockscreen. Which I did.
I too prefer the standard Lock screen except would love it to show more Calendar items and perhaps Birthdays. The configure page is really limited but better this than someting too bloated for a lock screen.
