I had a Universal until recently (too bulky, buggy, and Wizard is so much nicer!) so I now have the Wizard/O2 Xda Mini S.
On the Uni there was an icon on the Today page for changing orientation of the screen with 1-click. On the Wizard there is none, and I have to navigate through several menus in Settings to change it.
Any way to add the Universal's Today icon to the Wizard?
Or failing that, how can I add Start Menu shortcut to the 'Screen' option in Settings?
Check out phm tools keys. They have a screen rotation shortcut.
I think there are registry hacks to show the screen rotation UI icon though (WM2003 at least)

Thanks, would really like that reg hack if anyone can find it?
EDIT: I found this for the Universal but it has no effect on my Wizard:
To change the display of the screen rotation icon in the system tray
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION'
The 'HideOrientationUI' DWORD value can be set to '1' to hide the icon or '0' to show the icon
For example, to hide the screen rotation icon
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION\HideOrientationUI = 1

CRAP! I opened this thread for the sole purpose of making that exact smart-ass response. You suck.
:? Just to clarify for those of you who don't credit me with a milligram of intellect, I wish to orientate the screen when not using the keyboard. This is a feature of WM5 and the Universal allows you to do it from the home screen, but not the Wizard.
I have however solved it by using Spb PocketPlus

Anyway to do it without installing pocket plus ?
Why not hook it up to one of the hardware buttons ? If you're worried about running out of buttons, you can probably install one of the button managers?
I've got '<Rotate Screen>' (built-in option in Buttons) under the 'voice call' button, and Magic ScreenShot under the same button+hold (normally 'voice memo'); I highly doubt I'll use either of those voice functions, so they fit nicely there
I just added it to mort button, but its still a key press and then a tap of the screen, would much prefer a today icon just to be tapped.
Well, maybe time for a developer to step in and make a tiny application that rotates the screen
http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/21590/1954?pf=true
and
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/rotatese.html
have code examples, but no compiles (boo, hiss - why is that?)
ZeBoxx: I've done it, but PHM tools already contains very effective screen rotation icons. Find PHM Keys... assign to hardware key or shortcut or whatever. Use his or my VJTrayLaunch and stick it in the tray as well if you want... oh, mort script does this as well I think.
V
Well, there we go
And for more light-weight (are they, really? I have no idea);
270-degrees (for Wizard):
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=15527
90-degrees (exact opposite side :x):
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=15011
180-degrees:
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=15332
PHM Keys seems to have some other neat things that I might download it for, but personally I'm happy with just having <Rotate Screen> under the 1 button (no special button managers)
off-topic: is the PHM website ever going to be back?
I have pocket plus 3 installed, so i just added 'Rotate screen left' onto the close button context menu.
Now its just a click-hold and click away - even from within a program (comes in handy when using internet explorer).

You should put them in the memory cord of your phone, then click them from there.
The .CAB files should be installed FROM THE PHONE.
goodluck
Hey great work with the hacks
Thanx for sharing
Used the Soft Key app & it works great. cheers.
Problem sorted
Or some reason when I was downloading the files they were changing to .php not .cab. So with a quick change of name all working fine.
Anyone know how to change internet explorer reg back to original settings?
cheers
Dear yohanson,
Most of the tweaks for pocket ie can be easily changable within pocket ie by options menu...
Regards and thanks...
protochip,
great works !!! thanks for the "compilation"
Manage to installed :
DSP ENCHANCER -BASS&TREBLE SETTINGS
* Works very well.
SHOW CONTACTS FIRST NAME SURNAME ORDER
* Works very well.
POCKET IE TWEAKS
* Can't find where to do the changes. Unable to find the new setting in IE menu.
cheers,

brilliant
Dear simontee,
After applying pocket ie hacks there will be no new menu.I meant that if you want to go back,you can change some of the tweaks within pocket ie.For example you can change the zoom setting to larger or make fit to desktop from the menu of pocket ie.But other tweaks are directly written to registry ( cleartype, pocket ie as msie6.0, ... )
Regards and thanks...
Nice work will give them a try on my BA...

I have a problem with the htc hd 2, when you press the windows logo button on the bottom of the phone you jump to menu where all the icons are (such as installed programs icons and settings).
what happened is that all icons are missing except the today icon, how can
you bring all those icons back?
Also when you install a new program the phone doesn't make any icon in the menu. I have soft reset my phone with the reset button on the back but wouldn't work.
Can somebody help me with this problem?

I hope for your sake I'm wrong, but that sounds like a hard reset is needed, to me. Wait and see if anyone else has any suggestions, but that sounds quite a nasty problem.
I have got the same problem... any ideas how to fix it without hard reset?
I have two such icons .. HTC people and HTC calendar. It seems it has something to do with turning corresponding tabs off and on again.
Yes it would me nice to fix it without hard reset Any suggestions?
corresponding tabs off and on

How do you turn the corresponding tabs off and on?
Another thing hhen you go to the setting en press menu on the right corner then press more then nothing appears/happen?
Settins / personalize / home screen tabs
And I can confirm it .. first I had no such icons. Then I disabled calendar tab. Still nothing. Then I enabled calendar tab. And THC Calendar icon with no picture (only default one) showed up in the start menu. Now if I remove the tab, the icons gets removed too. But as I enable the tab again, icon is back.
Same for HTC People icon.
Only tweak I use which could have something to do with this enabling all settings icon in start menu (via BsB tweaks).

I see what you mean thanks for the effort, but with these icons the htc has no problems, its with icons you see when you press the windows logo button, its a long list with all the installed applications. In this screen they all disapeared except the today icon.
Some help from anybody would be very appreciated?
Hmmm
I had the same issue.
Flashed 1.48 over it.
Havn't had the problem since.
Check this dudes thread for additional/replacement icons...stunning stuff!

Updating rom solved the problem thanks for help me out!!
Any other solution available other then updating my ROM...cause it's already up-to-date.
I got this issue after a soft reset by BsB Tweaks.

Additional info:
- I'm using a Dutch ROM (so "\Windows\Startmenu\Program files" is called "\Windows\Startmenu\Programma's" )
- It happened after a soft reset after altering the Led Notifications/Message Notification setting
(I think the soft reset itself might have caused it)
- I have been moving startmenu items around using my ActiveSync connection
All I've found on the forum thus far is: Hard reset your device...but I really don't wanna.
Damn, it happened again. I'm stuck with just the Today icon again.
For a while I thought: leave it be. With Co0kie's Home Tab I can access all applications I need.
But I recently noticed that I cannot access my advanced settings screen either... and there's no shortcut for that.
Too bad, nobody came up with a solution that doesn't require a hard reset or ROM Update (which basically means the same: Clean slate).
Anyone?
hi, I've just purchased a HD2 and I'm new to WM.
After installing some tweaks, I discovered that when i tune the volume using the button on the side of the phone, instead of showing the original volume level in a black screen, now it shows a small window on the top right corner.
How can I get back the original black volume control screen ?
i'm on Manila ver 2.5.19211619 and ROM 1.66 with 6.5.2 OS.
thanks

Have u installed any taskbar modification?
i installed the following :
- cookie's home tab
- flashlight
- CHTEditor
-.Net CF3.5
-bluetooth toggle
- close album with X
- disable accidental link
- lonngpress send key
- faster manila tweaks
- opera 6 tabs
-reset and wifi
- speed up screen scrolling
-start menu icons and BG transparent
will any of the above cos the change ?
Thanks
Its definetely not cookies home tab, flashlight and probably not Net cf3,5, your best bet is to uninstall app one by one and soft reset after each to find out which one could be the culprit.
Thanks.
it's the last one that removed the original volume control.
i now have a new 'problem' - i could not remove the icon completely. Tried removing and the msg is that there are icons that are not removed completely and asked whether i want to tremove them, i confirmed 'Yes' but that prog will still appear in the list of installed prog. Tried a few times and it is the same.
Now the silent/ringer mode icon is mission from the task bar.
Looks like I will for other icons or reinstall the task bar icons and make do with the 'not so nice' volume control.
Thanks again
Sktools is great in uninstalling things, u can try it.
