Being ignorant on the possibilities of WM6 and unable to find anything on the topic - would it be possible to run SPB Mobile shell like normal app, I mean without being full screen? Would it be possible for other apps as well?
Thanks for Your effort.
would it be possible... to ask that in one of the threehundred mobile shell threads here ? or in first thread on this side ?
Would it be possible...that not every user with one question opens here his own thread ?
would it be possible...that a user with a question would post that in the specific thread ?
But, to answer your question: if a application is fullscreen or not(=today Plugin)depends on the application himself, so your answer is: is it a today plugin or not or does it have this function in its settings ? I think mobile shell does not. Some fullscreen apps like thumbcal can use the windows taskbar also. Look in Settings of your app, thats it.
Another useless thread opened and closed
The probability of getting an answer to a question in one of the three hundred pages of one of the three hundred threads is close to zero.
Besides - why are all the senior members so worried about the number of threads? Is there a limit or...?
And thanks for Your answer
its not that theres a limit or anything, we just don't like seeing erroneous threads. Once you become a senior member you become afflicted with a terrible case of OCD. Duh.
Besides, many of us regularly check the major threads (SPB MS being one of them), so your question probably will be answered.
OK. What's an OCD? Don't tell me there is a separate thread for that

Maybe you should start a new thread to ask if there is an OCD thread......DUH
OCD = Obssesive Compulsive Disorder = figure of speech
The reason it is getting difficult to find things here is because of bullsh*t threads
The same reason - too many threads - is the reason that nobody is able to find anything and they make a new thread. The main problem with internet today is how to systematise the humangous motherload of information. You can't fight that... Or if You figure out, be prepared fot the Nobel prize

The difference is you are making it worse..........................
the rules ar simple: if you have a question for mobile shell, post i there. This is better for you and just logical. So i really cant understand all this threads here starting with "i found something", "i have a question on mobile shell", "how can i make... with application ...". Often there are allready threads, the junior members did not google or did not use the search function of this side and so on.
So its funny that you write you cant find anything here because the reason why this side is too big: 80 Percent sensless threads from beginners. Sad but true.
So they now made a extra thread for beginners (its on Nr. 1!): Effect: NOTHING
I know somtimes its hard for beginning with windows mobile and so on, but when i started, i first read the instruction manual of my device. Look at that: someone opens a thread on a developers page because he is unable to use/find standard windows mobile functions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428318
OK, I get Your point. But wouldn't it be easier then to reorganize the threads so that everything up to here will be archive and from now on irrelevant, stupid, duplicate and pointless threads get deleted and there would be separate sections for each popular application (SPB MS, UL etc etc).
BTW, the funniest thread I've seen so far is this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425424
If you want to use it without full screen just use their today plugin..but of course won't have nice effect like the common one
OK, thanks for Your reply, I'll give it a try when I get my phone back from repairs. They don't advertise it on their webpage tho.

Hey guys,
I've been trying really hard to get a games folder or button in my programs launcher, but the menu doesn't exist under Spb Customise Menu.
I can only Add "My Menu" and then under that a games directory, but i've read many other posts where people say they have it already in their Customise menu list and just need to tick the box to get it.
I'm currently using Greatbal's Diamond theme for SPB MS 2.1 on an HTC Touch Dual.
Any suggestions?
I'd really like to have one folder with all my games as some have installed in weird places (when I haven't been able to tell it where to install).
Any help or advise is appreciated.

as cruel as it sounds- you shouldn't post an entire new thread for something like this..instead try searching like the person who did it for you in the above post
i acknowledge that, and if it's appropriate i have no dramas with this thread being deleted.
i did happen to look at both of those links before posting. all 1 million posts. haha. and didn't see the answer i was looking for.
i probably just missed it i guess. but i really didn't post without having a look first.
what he means is that if you encountered a problem regarding a specific program, it is more promptly suitable if you post it in the same thread/s regarding the application instead of opening a new one.
i know a new thread will gather more attention but surely it will not guarantee instant or faster answers than replying onto an exsisting thread.
also, there is the Q&A thread so if you have specific (and isolated) questions, you should post it there and hope that someone answers.. that is why it is called QUESTION and ANSWER.. not ANSWERS are here thread.
sincere apologies guys.
i'll delete this one and put it in the Q&A thread

Ever noticed that active sync is not only taking a 2 meg byte out of your memory ... that on top it trickles down and never releases memory in 2kb steps over time/ I tried to install async-killer from eLias but that doesn't help with this problem.
Any solution or idea beside running a RAM cleaner all the time which may cause other problems (WiFi or Navi gets killed most likely)?

Though I appreciate your input Joel, I search and searched the forum and there seemed not to be a solution THAT's actually why I posted here that perhaps a developer may look into it and finally creates a solution.
Didn't find a way to report to admin for closure or to delete.

i didn't say use "search" there is a new section in xda for questions.
opening a new thread in Development and hacking section is supposed to be limited to people that are contributing (uploading a skin or new software.) This was not necessarily enforced so much before because we didn't have the questions section. Now that we have it though, please utilize it

I've been searching for days now, and can't seem to figure out why the icons are all mixed up...
Is there anyway to alphabetize the icons in the start menu?
I have a bunch of games loaded in a games folder and it's all mixed up, any ideas?
I tried searching the site and even googled it and all I came up with was a registry edit, but I don't have the key they say to edit.
I even tried deleting the folder and putting the icons back one at a time, in alphabetical order, but they still end up mixxed. ??

You seem to be new to the forums. Thank you for joining XDA-Developers.
Please take a minute to go over the Rules and Regulations of the forum.
Also, it seems that you are a Blue Angel owner, in which case I will encourage you to go over the BA forum regulations here
For questions, please use the search function in the site or simply Google for an answer. More than likely, your question has probably been answered before and the answer is floating around somewhere in the site. That being said, unless you are contributing to the site with either skins, roms, ports, new applications, programs, games, etc., please [highlight]do not[/highlight] open new threads. However, if you do have questions, you can post them either in the BA Q&A section or in the General Q&A section.
Thanks.
I did search the forum, and I googled it... I'm new to this forum, but not computers or the internet, I know how to search, been doing it since 1988.
I posted this question in the Q&A thread, but it was ignored, so I posted in the general forum.
Sorry If I offended you, but I never received a response to my question, I figured somebody else here was experiencing the same problem, maybe not.

It isn't a matter of me being offended, I am (as well as others) trying to keep some order in the forums. I do know that sometimes questions in the Q&A don't get answered right away, but if someone from the Q&A team (or other members out there) know the answer, they will reply. Maybe the reason why your question wasn't answered is because no one really knows the answer (or has bothered looking into it). You getting annoyed at the way the forums are handled does not give you the right to say "screw it, I'm opening a thread(s) anyways". On top of that, remember that not a single member in this site is forced to give you an answer. We all do it out of trying to help each other out since we are a community.
All of us have to abide by the site's rules.
Last but not least, this is a General Question (like you stated earlier) and not a device specific question. All I am saying in my previous post is "please follow the rules". If you searched earlier and posted the right questions in the right places, then either be patient or pm someone. Most of us are happy to help.
Anyways, now to your question. The way in which WM is designed, the application icons normally get a "first come, first serve" position. In other words, they are placed in chronological order of installation (at least in "Program Files"). I do not know if there is a way to organize the WM menus so that they will show apps in alphabetical order.
What you can do is look for a launcher or a replacement for the Program Folders (look in the Dev and Hacking sections for these). These normally organize the icons alphabetically and they are shown in a list format rather than a grid. I do agree with you though, it is pretty disorganized.... but then again M$ doesn't really care about the alphabet
Hope this helps...

I recently had this issue with the new AT&T Fuze ROM. Check around in your PROVXML files for anything similar to the code below. Note: This example code is from an AT&T ROM, but you may find something similar. If you do, delete it, and everything will return to standard Alphabetical order.
Code:
<!--334.08_Program menu order-->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu">
<parm name="order" datatype="multiplestring" value="MEdia Net Home.lnkAT&T MallAT&T MusicGames & AppsMessagingAT&T GPSAlbum.lnkActiveSync.lnkToolsCellular Video.lnkWindows Media.lnkPush to Talk.lnkOpera Browser.lnkInternet Sharing.lnk" />

I figured that was the case, so I deleted all the icons in the folder, then copied them back from my PC, in alphabetical order, and they still ended up scrambled, M$ blows.
egzthunder1, you are f*cking idiot :/ i hate people like you :/ look. how loong it takes you to write that kind of sh*t? If you don't know the answer, don't write anything. If you want to make some new posts, there is off-topic thread. Everyone, at the beggining, is a begginer! It's not his guilt, so help him if u can, but don't do that sh*t :/ what a stupid country :/ & what a f*cking pommy :/ i'm proud i'm from PL
In WM6.5, you have option "move to the top" in start menu, if u tap and hold on icon, so u can sort all your icons, one by one.
Also you can use other launchers, which are more configure able.
btw sorry for bad english
MOD EDIT: The profanity is not needed. First warning... next step is a 3 day vacation.
I fugured it out...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Games
That's the folder I put all the games in, and inside that registry key was a bunch of .lnk entries corresponding to the games I had installed, each key had a rank, so I took the largest number of the key, and put that on the first icon, then in alphabetical order I changed the rank of each of the .lnk keys, decreasing by one as I went down the list, soft boot, now the folder is exactly how I wanted it.
Thanks

Let's watch the personal attacks. Regardless of how you feel about egzthunder1 reply, there is no place for your post either. It serves no purpose other then to incite a fight.
While egzthunder1 could have said what he did in a couple different ways, he is not wrong in pointing members (new OR old) to the rules of XDA-Developers. He did not berate the OP in any way; he simply informed him of the policies in place here that require a member (again, new OR old) to search prior to posting in an existing thread, or creating a new one.
Q&A sections are popping up in just about every forum because of an experiment done in the Raphael section that was a complete success. In case you may have missed it, the forum rules have recently been updated. I quote:
Flar said:
1. Search before posting
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.
There is no need for cursing, flaming, racism or personal attacks. There are a lot of different nationalities on this forum all with different cultures, this means that no matter what you're like, you'll have to adjust to people that are most definitely not like you. It will gain you a lot of respect if you help to keep the peace. It's disrespectful and therefore not permitted to create Alias Member names in an attempt to deceive others.

@weteran,
While I don't necessarily appreciate the insults, particularly considering that I have not offended you (or even talked to you), I will say that if I have spoken badly in any manner, then point me at it and I will gladly apologize to the OP for my mistake. However, if I didn't, then why do you insult me?
I am not going to start a discussion with you (or a flame war). While it is true that I don't always know all the answers, at least I try to help or point people in the right direction to solve their problems. I do this because I love this community and its members and I have been helped countless times, so really it is my way of giving back.
@NATF,
Since the OP seems to have solved his issue, do you think that you could close this thread to keep it from growing needlessly? Thanks for your words
Issue resolved, closing thread.
Hello everyone! I am trying to find out how to enable/disable certain bands. My company installs cell phone boosters for people that have poor signal, and i need to be able to select a single band at a time to do speed tests.
I know this is possible with Samsung devices, but was wondering if anyone found a way to lock to a single frequency.
This is possible with Samsung devices but unaware of any way to do this with a Oneplus 8. I think its even possible to do it on the tmobile version?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I am also rooted if that helps.)

Yep should be in q+a.
Think this may have been discussed in there already.
