Hi everyone,
last week i got my new Tytn (italian version).
I'm not new in WM5 devices, my last device was a K-jam.
Now i can't remember some things that was very usefull with my K-jam, like:
1. where i can get the cab file that enables the BT icon in today(in the bottom)?
2. How i can use Mp3 as ringtone?
3. Where i can find the registry mods to enable the vibraton phone pad?
4. and also where i can get a freeware registry util?
Thanks everyone
well, I can answer a few for you:
BT Icon in Today?

go here
free registry editor?
Click to expand...

google "phm regedit" or install the free taskmgr located on buzzdev.net. It has a very good registry editor plus a whole lot more functionality
3. Where i can find the registry mods to enable the vibraton phone pad?

This might work...
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=241898&hl=
i've downloaded the related .cab file, soft reset but nothing changed.
it doesn't work.
I also remeber that there is a third part software that also enable the vibratign pad, can someone remeber the name?
thnaks
There's an application mentioned in the post I linked to above.
Check the first reply.
EDIT: Here it is... http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/d9.shtml
Yes, thanks for the link.
but i don't like the graphic of the pad. i'd like a plug-in for the existing pad or maybe something graphically better that the existing one.
thanks

BTW, did you check from the Today menu if that item was actually installed and is present, but not checked?

2. How i can use Mp3 as ringtone?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Very easy to do - slightly undocumented feature
Navigate into the \Application Data\Sounds\ folder on your phone and drop the MP3 there - it will then show up in your ringtone list
I tend to edit the mp3's down to about 30 seconds of the song I want and save them as mono and at a low bitrate so they don't take up a lot of space on the phone but you don't have to do this - just realize that if you put a bunch of MP3's on there, you'll fill up your internal storage pretty quickly if you don't, but if you just want one there it shouldn't be a big deal.
yes i know this feature.... but how i can do it to use an MP3 as SMS allert?
thanks

Convert it into .wav and put in the \windows directory
rk-TSR: Automatic theme/wallpaper switcher.
Latest version 1.0.2 Supports wallpaper switching too! and better file browser has been implemented.
Here is the theme/wallpaper switcher application I built to switch themes (*.tsk) and wallpaper (*.jpg,*.gif) based on the schedules you setup. i.e, Automatically loads the theme/wallpaper you specified at scheduled time.
I am using day, evening and night themes to reflect on my HTC today screen.
Supports command line execution
Code:
To enable the application--> \program files\rk-TSR\rk-TSR.exe enable
To disable the application--> \program files\rk-TSR\rk-TSR.exe disable
To load the theme--> \program files\rk-TSR\rk-TSR.exe “\storage card\rkAzulBlue.tsk”
To load the wallpaper--> \program files\rk-TSR\rk-TSR.exe “\storage card\MyWallpaper.jpg”
(To load the theme from command line the theme must be configured and listed in rk-TSR, but wallpaper would load without being listed in the application.)
Looks cool with the HTC weather icons!
Install and configure schedule for each theme
Also included my themes(You can use your own themes)
It will work on WM5 and WM6.
Does not write anything to registry and not memory resident (not a background process)
Attachments:
rkAzulThemes.zip contains three ziped themes, check the screenshot.
rk-TSRSetup.CAB is the theme/wallpaper switcher application
Let me know.
Note: this application requires Compact Framework 2.0
You need compact framework 2.0 installed inorder to run this application. The compact framework is already part of WM6, so if your device is WM6 skip this step. But most of the WM5 devices do not have this update. So you must download here and run the installation on your desktop (then active sync to update your device). Only after completing this step install the application.
If you like my work consider donation on paypal
Download from here
Giving it a try
Looks nice will let you know.
Great JOB!
Thx
No comments so far...

Copy the *.tsk files to any directory(do not copy to \windows directory.)
You can put the tsk file on storage card or under \my documents. Now when you click 'add' button on the rk-TSR you it should show up. But when you click the 'add' button you have to make sure that the theme you are adding must be already loaded.
To load the themes go to Start\Settings\Today
Let me know if you need more information. Glad to help you.

It can be custumized any way.... eg.
You can setup 22:00 to load the night theme(or any theme you like) and setup 06:00 Day theme, may be 15:00 to load the olive theme.
Bascially you are telling the program to load a theme for you at a time specified by you.
HTH
Thanks again. Tested it. and its great.
seems nice, testing
Thanks Tytnguy,
I dowloaded and use this great little program. Is it possible tweak it so I can set up different days also?
I have a theme for work hours and a different one for after 5pm. would be great set it different again on Sat/Sun.
Hello,
which with this program still another good thing would be, is automatic switch with sunset or stairway. There are yearly calendars for such information.

Device : HTC Tytn
OS : WM6
When the theme changes at the scheduled time, all elements of the theme change except for the background image. Works fine when I manually use the 'test' option.
Also, its a real pain to have to load up the theme before being able to set it. Also would be nice to beable to edit an existing entry (i.e. change the time and/or theme).
Looking good - and it could evolve into a great little utility.

Are you using a theme and some background picture? Try themes only and see if it happens(Try the themes i posted and test it) I have been using only themes on my TyTn and never experienced any issues so far. Let me know what happens in your test.

Yeah, I know the theme loading is kind of a pain, but I need some additioal info from the theme in order to load it silently! So only when the theme is loaded I can get it from the registry and store it in my program!
Yes being able to edit the time and swich existing themes should be a nice feature! I will do it for next version
Bye the way, thanks for trying it out and giving me the feedback

nah. you can install the cab OR do that
or you can do both. it doesn't really matter. Cleaning out the startup folder increases your ram too, though

Hi,
I was missing some small clocks that do not block the TF3D background too much.
To solve my "problem" I just created two versions in black and white. One with a semi transparent clock background and one without a clock background.
The actual numbers are a little far away from eachother but experimenting getting them closer gave some nasty image conflicts. If anyone has an solution let me know and I update the clock.
If you are looking for any other color let me know and I get it done for you.
*********************
EDIT: 23 Nov 2008
Version 1.1
Available colors in zip:
Black
White
Updates:
Used a bit better readable font
Updated positioning
Fixed Lower Curtain error
To Do
Change distance between numbers
Make Semi Transparent flip smaller
thank you very much
Very nice but...
... I can't get it to work with Sprint theme. Still have the Sprint clock BG and the : between the numbers
hi thanks for ur clock
But I got one problem after installing ur clock, the touch flo bar at the bottom turned into a thinner style after I have installed ur clock. how can i change it to normal style? thanks
The idea of smaller clock is brilliant, but these are just too small
@g0mib0y
Like mentioned in the readme you should use the diamnond config tool from susilange to restore to original files from you rom. If you do a quick search on the forum you should be able to find the tool to restore your TF3D. Before you restore can you post a screenshot for me to see what happened as it works good on my end. I would like to fix it for eveyone.
@jonson10
I guess that it works different for the sprint rom. I will take a look at this and see how others have get it to work for the sprint ROM.
@usper
I'll take a look at making them a little bigger for you

Find the files that are in the zip in your \Windows folder on your device.
Delete them and soft-reset. They will restore from the ROM.

@ dickenz
Thanx for the follow-up. this is indeed the best thing to do when the diamond config does not do the trick. Weird however seeing that the config tool deletes all the manilla files and restarts so it will be reinstalled from the ROM and should solve the problem.
@ jonson10
I'll take an other look at the issue somewhere today. Which clock did you use the clock with the glassclock background or the one without background? Let me know so I can take a better look at it. There are some files in the glassclock BG that could cause this but I need to know for sure you are using this
i like the idea of a smaller clock, but with the border around the clock still being the same size it eliminates any reason i had to download it i dont suppose you could reduce the size of the border around so the calender etc are pushed up more into the center of the screen?

Works fine with original manilla theme
these look really good, but they are too spaced out, is there anyway to get the clock that size but with less space between the numbers?
another idea i have is, if you used the ones with no background and removed the numbers too!!
NOONE has made an invisible clock yet and it would be the best way to get a full wallpaper
i would really like the invisible clock.
would this be possible?
thanks for your help and your small clock <- EDIT i have just realised how bad that sounded lol sorry
i like your clocks however i am having trouble installing it..i am using Resco explorer to copy the files in the windows directory but i get the following error:
First it says that the destination file is in ROM and that i can damage my system if i continue. After i click on yes i get the following:
Cannot move file xxxxxx. The file already exists.
i tried searching for this but i couldnt succeed until now...
cant anyone help?
Created some updates on the Small Clock You can down load version 1.1 from the first post. Update history is also listed there.

Did you setup the resco explorer to overwrite all files? You can do this under Menu\Options\General than under the tab Files check all boxes and select Copy.
Let me know if that did the trick.
thats how it was set up but it didnt want to work..anyway, i used total commander and it worked..
Ok good to see it was solved any way. It is weird as I use the Resco myself and do not have this issue :-S
Anyway it is solved so that is the most important
Really great work!
What I would really love, is the transparrent one, but with white digits insted of black.
Could you do it?
Pretty please!!!
Cheers,

This is not a program, but just registry settings to use the built-in biotouch.exe to call Manila Control in order to toggle between M2D and Today.
Notes:
must install Manila Control to \Windows\ before the attached .cab
the cube no longer works after installing this, but the corresponding processes (i.e. QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and APLauncher.exe.exe) may still in your memory unless you replace the .exe by dummy programs or kill the processes.
must backup the original [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] before installing the attached cube, otherwise won't be able to restore the cube.
toggling M2D/Today using softkeys as shown in the demo video is NOT set by the attached .cab

Good idea, I'll try on HD when I'll have it, I hope monday.
Thank you
great idea. Although I've still yet to find a use for a second today screen. lol
is there going to be a version of this for the vogue? it seems neat but im not ballsy enough to install something not meant for my device quite yet.

Vogue uses different registry settings. please try the newly added cap in post #1. pls be prepared for bug-fixing time because i can't test it on my own. for safe, pls do a backup, especially the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] registry key, before installing.
good luck.

surely none of the 3 uploaded version would fit the vga devices.
if you want a try, i guess the Polaris version can be a good start. pls be prepare for the pull-up screen being in 1/4 size.
pls do let me know the testing result and see whether i can find a way to fix it. if it doesn't work at all, pls kindly let me know the following registry key values on your device:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
"App1"
"Cube1"
"Path11"
thanks for your interest.
thx!! its very fine!

Please let me know if I can tweek my 3G jade without fear..?!

Is it possible to use this on HTC Touch (Elf)?
And also I would like to change running program from ManilaControl to any other, for example CommManager.
I've installed reg settings from the Vogue cab (is it right?), and copied original Biotouch.exe and dummy APLauncher.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and QuickDial.exe to the windows dir, created shortcut for biotouch.exe in the windows/startup folder and Soft-reseted my device.
Now when I make touch gesture the screen appears into black and nothing happens.
Is it possible using registry settings to bind touch gesture to run any exe (for example, commmanager.exe)?
Thank you for answers!

sorry i really can't answer your question because i haven't played around with a Jade before and I don't have any friends who have bought one. the main prob is, i don't know the version no. of biotouch shipped with Jade.
if you really want a try,
do a full backup (so that you can hard reset + restore in worst case)
backup/export the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch] registry subtree
try the Polaris version
good luck

Elf's built-in biotouch version is different from Vogue's. pls find the Vogue's version, which should appear in those threads about installing 4-sided cube on Elf

basically yes. the trick is in the "App1" reg key. if the app being called has a visible window and you want to use the swipe-down gesture to hide it (like the original cube), the first part of the key value must be the right class name. otherwise, like the case for Manila Control, simply use a non-exist class name.
I've duplicated my commanager.exe and mui files and renamed them to biotouch.exe and biotouch.exe.mui, so now after the touch gesture commanager is running. It works!
Here is the test cab file, i haven't tested it on a clean device, but it seems to be work. If it doesn't working, post here please.

Hey, Love the snoopy. Is there anyway to take it off however? I't just doesnt go well with my today screen?

though not totally take if off, but editing the registry keys as below can minimize its appearance:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
"TotalBMP"=dword:00000001
"Cube1"=hex:07,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,0A,C8,C9,CA,CB ,01,01,01,01,01,01
"UpFPS"=dword:0000FFFF
if you want to further cut down the size of the snoopy image that may appear for a short time, you can also change the below key:
(for Nike and Polaris) "Path1"="mc01.brn"
(for Vogue) "Path1"="\Windows\mc01.brn"
Is it possible to call manilla from any program with this gesture fix?
I mean the way I call and close cube by just scrolling tumb up or down.
