This is really a general WM6 question, but I have a XV6800 so i thought I would post it here.
How do you disable the recent applications/history in your start menu? All I want in the start menu, EVER, is the programs I have checked off in the Start Menu Settings section, and I never want it to keep a list of recently opened applications.
Also, how do you get rid of the "7" programs limit in the start menu? I need like 9 or 10 there (plus they will fit just fine on the home screen since I am disabling recent aplications)
Thanks.
i would recommend getting a start bar replacement like wisbar, that will let you do a lot more customizing. its what i use and i love it.
nope, i need registry tweak/hacks on how to do it. i am not going to install more ram-sucking software when it can be done natively in shell, i just dont know how.

Recent Programs
Hi
I have been looking for a solution for the recent program List
One solution is (i use this now) create another folder in your "windows\Start Menu\XYZ" and copy all (But 1) shortcuts from "windows\Start Menu\PROGRAMS" to "windows\Start Menu\XYZ" And your recent list wont be populated.
As for the limitation of 6 in the start Menu. I did not need to change that so i would not know if you find a solution i would like to know. And besides as other people mention yes WA is a good option.

Hi,
You copy/dulpicate all the programs into XYZ except one? which one? Anyone? And do you have to delete the Programs folder after copying?
Thanks!
only ones ive used
these are the only solutions i have found. the app the one guy on this thread made works great, but only on soft-resets

I'm starting this thread where i will post all that small TF3D mods i wrote that do not require separate discussion.
1. Now, here's the first one:
Working analog clock icon
Installation is very simple (for ones, who modded Manila before ): copy files to windows dir, then replace icon reference nodes you like in manila.xml (Actual file name: 26948339_manila)
Code:
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\AnalogClockIcon.mode9" Component="AnalogClockIconTray" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\AnalogClockIcon.mode9" Component="AnalogClockIconOn" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\AnalogClockIcon.mode9" Component="AnalogClockIconPreview" />
2. Also, i'm getting numerous requests for my iPhone iconset, so i'm posting it here too.
3. iDiamond Project (Apple iPhone interface mimic) (sorry for the video quality of 2 first videos - shot it with my old Qtek S110)
Step 1: Main Menu concept
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41yGPql8DAQ
Step 2: CoverFLO concept
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOPXualKtms
Step 3: CoverFLO progress 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hjqaMqcAbM
Step 4: Main Menu customization
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-iPOalE6Po
Step 5: Home Screen and more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VWsOUt41X4
I was supposed to finish my paid work by this time, but it turns out to be about a month of work ahead, thus i don't know when i resume my work on iDiamond, so i'm posting an unlocked version of beta here, coz holding you off the software doesn't serve it's primary goal (motivate me to continue project) anymore.

Man, just a quick question:
If i want to add new tabs, i need to disable another to place the new tab, right?
I can't have more than usual tabs and history call AND this clock now, or your calendar, at the same time...
Cheers!
(Sorry me, im spanishs )
That's NOT a separate tab, just an "active" icon that you can assign to any tab

Hi,
I copied the 4 Manila Files to \Windows and add the 3 lines in the manila.xml but no Clock Tab ??? With or without Soft Reset...
Is there something I missed ?
Thanks
EDIT : OK I found and it's GREAT, D-MAN your're the One
Awesome! Loving having all these tweaks.
Thanks
added "Active Calendar Icon" to Calendar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423647
D-MAN666 I know that you said not to ask for impossible cause you still are learning touchflo 3D but maybe it will be possible to make a tab for coreplayer. There is already something similar in SPB mobile shell so the coreplayer could be used instead of WMP or something else (maybe corecodec could help you if you contact hem). Probably its too much but I'm sure that many would admire you for doing this. Maybe it would be possible to use the music tab as a starting point for this.
Cheers and good luck on learning touchflo 3D so in the future you could do everything with it

In the calendar thread. Order values in xml must be sequential and unique. When you install one .cab on another .cab, it just erases other tab's entry, and coz cab can only replace not patch files, you'll have to do that manually.

D-MAN666 thanks for the calender and the clock tweak they're excellent. I have got a bit of a problem though, see screenshot.. it say's "ids_calender" at the top and the menu button and also "i....." instead of the days?? Have i done something wrong or is this a bug? also is it possible to change the colour of the font? i'd like a white version if possible
Do you think it's possible to do an active Programs page, that would show you any running programs similar to a message counter? it's easy to forget what programs you've got running and the reminder on the programs page could be quite useful
P.S thanks a lot for your contribution to Manila editor i'm using it all the time at the moment and it's brilliant (are there any updates planned any time soon?)

Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you for the splendid add-ons you have developed for TF3D. The Calendar specifically has become invaluable for many of us here at T-Mobile.

Please I need your help. I added plenty of icons on the front Program page and don't remember any more how and what I did.
Thanks for your reply.
what do you want to do ?
add more or remove them ?
and are you talking about the program menu which has a number of rows of small squares
Thanks for your prompt reply.
You know the bottom line when you scroll your finger you get several pages, such as, Home, Telephone directory ... then at the end Programs. On this last one I did add some extra icons (yes squared) to which I assigned my preferred programs. I know how to delete one or more but not how to add a new ones.
To add more Programsquares:
Registry:
HKLM - Software - HTC - Manila - ProgramLauncher
Currently there are 24 directorys. You can duplicate some an change their names to 24 - ....
In here you can even unlock some fields if your provider did so. Set IsReadOnly from 1 to 0.
I think there will be a perfomancelimit somewehre, so don´t add to much in one time.
That is OK, but I don't remember had done that to add my previous ones. I can recall that I had to pouch a command and that was all.
Anyway, you are right, I might reached the max. of 24 icons.
I think I'll follow your recommendation and avoid to add any more since that might slow down the process.
Many thanks again

I've added 6 additional fields as you explained from 24 to 29, so totally I have 30 fields now and they appear on the programs tab in TF3D.
When you click on one of them (the one I've added), it opens the program list so you can choose one but after you do so the field still blank, so to resume it's not really working despite adding the field.
hmmm... I´ve tested it on diamond an it worked fine. I´ll test it on HD... it will take a moment.

is it possible to increase the number of programs slot?
Would it be possible to have more than one "programs" tab?

Hi Mavrick
This thread is for adding more slots in the same program tabs and not adding more programs tabs in TF3D. Anyway I don't know if you proposal can be done, some expert developers might need to look at it

Hello!
Is there any standalone cab or reg fix so you can have the name of the program under the icon in the Program tab?
EDIT: and when you go into Program from the start menu, can you move the icons in there to a specific map so you can get the program view a little more organized?
You can move all the programs around and rename the files by using total commander or resco file explorer.
I have done this to organise the folder into many sub-folders.
Thank you Dave!
Now for the name under program tabs, couple of cooked roms that have the feature in them so there should be a easy way like a cab or a reg-hack

Sorry - I meant the program view in the START menu not the TAB (you had both).
I don't now use the program TAB in TF3D as I have all the programs organised in sub-folders under windows\programs and windows\office mobile.
I use that with quick menu and it's so much faster for my many apps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3117017&highlight=secondtoday#post3117017 - it's grown since then !!)

Hi,
don't think anyone has missed the amazing pre release of this sweet ap!
I'm a mod freak and there are somethings i would like to change in this prog.
like the programs "tab" only has 3 rows. i want to make this 4. anyone with a bit of experience possibly from the 2.xx series know where to do it?
the configs are simple ZIP files. Just open the DAT file as a ZIP file or rename it to ZIP.
in order to edit the file you need to put in the password which is:
b0fm18zq
Maybe we could custom tailor it and post the modded DAT files collected here. Most of the 2.xx series of mods/skins are portable with a little or no modification except renaming of some picture files (same password in 2.xx). the possibilities are endless
Please remove or correct my post if I'm violating/doubleposting something here.
Regards
/Frewys
DAT Files content:
qa_layouts.dat - This contains only XML files. 61 to be precise lots of interesting stuff! (tried to change the Iconspacing in programs to 24. didn't get my 4 icons row though )
vp_menu_btn.dat - Built in Icons
va_misc_now.dat - Built in system icons
vpw_bkg_now - portrait
vlw_bkg_now.dat - mostly contact icons landscape
va_weather_64.dat - weather Icons largest with XML file
vp_bkg_now.dat - Menu frame
vl_bkg_now.dat - same but in landscape
va_profile.dat - media player and profile widget icons
RegHacks:
adding more pages to lifestyle screen
more buttons in collected start menu
change default sms client (bottom)
Memorysaving (no reghack)
interesting links in similar spirit:

I don't know yet. I just played around with it last night before bed. I'm just a NB in this who poked around with this great ap after not being pleased with everything and curious on what could be achived so i dont have alla the answers this is a team effort. hopfully someone with the experience or knowhow checks this. In the meantime we have to do it by trial and error. and map it all as we go along

good to know
I have discovered that Topaz enhanced menus works great with SPB MS 3.0 activated (and Manila installed but not activated in the today screen) so so far its a necessary evil to have Manila installed until we know possible witch file or reg settings are needed.

adding more pages to lifestyle screen
this could be good for some. Found this over at modaco.com forum posted by turborepu quote:
"add more pages to lifestyle screen.. bg image pan works fine still
hklm/software/spb software house 2/spb mobile shell/widgets/homescreen
change "pagecount" to desired number.. i put 4. soft reset.."
supposedly its tested on 10 pages. the result is that when paned the wallpaper moves less then with three. If wallpaper size changed it will "smartfit" it to be the "correct" size.
haven't tried this myself yet three is plenty for me ATM

BUT if one could integreate them somehow that would be great if you had that choice.

Remove calendar from professional layout?
Hi guys
i am trying to figure out how to do something that we were able to do in 2.1, but has been left unoptional in 3.0. I would like to get rid of the calendar on the pro screen. All I want to see is my upcoming appointments (if I have any). I don't want the screen cluttered with a pesky grid-style calendar. I am such a nooB at this it is silly, but here I am, messing around with .dat files......
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It would be nice to create a backup/restore tool for the settings/today items/widgets/etc...
When updating the rom this would be VERY useful!
is the pre release official? where's the download?
looks good from the youtube demos
Anyone figure out the password for the DAT files yet? Seems they changed it from the 2.x releases
Great idea. I just took a peek inside today, thanks for the breakdown of what some of the .dats do.
I have a feeling we'll start seeing some custom widgets in no time.
and yes, the release is now official.

There is already one in the SPB Shell settings, click the right softkey in settings and there it is, to the left of the exit button.
I tried it myself today, completely uninstalled mobile shell before I installed the official version, loaded the backup and everything was restored in the new version, included widgets and all

I don't see the grid calendar on my pro screen anymore. On the pro settings page, choose "calendar", then change # of appointments to "as many as possible". After doing this, mine now shows the next two appointments.
