Hey all,
Recently purchased a Touch Diamond and have been heavily modifying the software/rom over the past few days. I'd first like to thank everyone who has contributed! There is such much information out there that it's sometimes hard to disseminate it all for new users.
In any case I have done a lot of extensive searching for this question and I've found a possible solution but only leads to more questions for me. Here's my question, how can I customize the application which is launched when I tap the clock on the TF3D home screen?
Through searching I've found I might have been able to edit manila.xml (26948339_manila) but couldn't find anything specific to application launching in that file. I also found reference to using something called "SSMaP" but was unable to find any further information regarding this application via the forums of google.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
-Mike

Greetings all
1st off, just wanted to say thanks to everyone here. This is a tremendous resource for all things PPC.
Is there a way to disable the softkeyboard from automatically opening up but leaving the icon there so I can activate it manually?
I did a few searches here regarding this and didn't see anything pertinent so I'll apologize in advance if I missed it.
Bump......
anyone?
I think it is possible to install a fake soft keyboard that does nothing. I have not used one but seen one on the net. Maybe proposed by Phm.
I have found it. Check the last item on this page:

Not a bad band-aid fix but it requires a few more screen taps to pick the correct keyboard when I do need it - but thanks for the reply
I'll keep looking...
Does anyone know the exact name and location of the WM6 device lock file, ie the one where you can either use a simple pin or a complex password to enter your device? I definitely do not mean keylock.exe, as this is the wrong file.
I have searched this entire site using both google search and the normal search and drawn a blank. Also drawn a blank on the wider internet search although I admit my search criteria may be the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.

if you can't find an existing app to run that will lock your device, perhaps it would be easier to write your own?
at first glance, it would appear that a call to SHDeviceLockAndPrompt would do what you need
dalelane,
Thanks for this pointer. Interesting thought on writing a bespoke app; however I'm keen to use what's already there.
Problem is I need to ensure that one cannot circumvent the existing lock process when its engaged. At the moment I can do this, which worries me.
Appreciate the input.

Hi
Have you found a Solution?

DanielS,
I went down the route where I made sure I wasn't running any apps that could circumvent the lock and that's about it, really.
I never actually got a direct answer to the original question I posed.
Cheers

Hi!
I'm running a Manila 2D interface on my Trinity, and am having problems with the
Home Tab: I can't get the calendar to show at least one appointment.
I've been searching the forums for 2 days now, without success. I know that using a SPB shell that looks like Manila would solve my problem, but that's not what I want.
What's bugging me most is the fact that it used to work, but at some point in the past the calendar stopped showing my appointments.
Please, could someone give me a hint what I have to do, or what registry entry I have to tweak....?

Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate the help.
But I couldn't find anything that gives a solution to my
problem, just similar questions that weren't answered.
I can't believe that so few people are only having a
problem with this short calendar style. I know that there
are apps like ThumbCal, but I need the calendar info on the
today screen.
I am totally willing to mess with the registry or the xml file,
but I need someone who points me in the right direction.
Kindly Post your Question in the Manilla Thread itself, or in the Q&A Forum

Just realized I put this in the wrong spot. Can someone please move this to the right forum category? Thank you!
I hope this is the right spot for this. I've search and so far not found the answer I am hoping to find.
I have a series of GPS devices (Trimble) with Windows Mobile 6.1 on them that I'm setting up for our field crews. I'm in the process of setting them up to be universal in the settings so anyone can grab and use any device without trying to figure out where everything is again.
Is there a way that I can lock down these devices where the field guys can't go back behind me, once I've made them universal, and change everything around? Or do you all have any suggestions on things that may help me with this? I'm thinking along the lines from wallpapers and customizations and even down to changing owner information. I'd just like to keep these similar and not let them get out of control and messy, if you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I hope this is the right place to post a question about modifying an existing app. In the long run, I want to create a Xposed module to do the modification, but to get started I work with modding the decompiled app. The app in question is de.zeit.diezeit.epaper.android, which is a German newspaper reader app (I am not expecting anyone to know it). What I want to do is to get rid of the scrolling animation when reading an article, because I am using this app on an eInk device (Icarus Illumina).
Now my problem is, I don't find a starting point. I have to say I don't have much (read: almost none) experience with writing Android apps (although I have a lot of programming experience otherwise). Thus I have no idea how such an animation would be implemented. I searched for references to the Scroller class and replaced the duration argument of the startScrolling method by 5ms, but this didn't change anything.
Is there any way to run the app in some kind of debug mode to see which methods are called at which time? Another idea how to find the right spot might be the trigger of the scroll: I am using the hardware page turn buttons of the device to scroll down exactly one page. How would this be implemented, what should I search for to find the code that reacts on these buttons? (Also: how can I press these buttons in the emulator?)
I am sorry if I am asking too many noob questions. If there is relevant documentation I have obviously missed, please point me to it. Thank you very much for any help!
Try looking under res/anim*

Hi, very late after the question, but I am considering buying an Illumina XL HD e-reader in order to have e-ink to read newspapers. What has been your experience with your device (which model in particular is it?)? Also, I would like to root it. Do you know if that is possible? Finally, did you manage to modify the app? If so, was it difficult?
Hi, hope you found the solution
