Hey, thks.
Appreciate it very much

This will, instead, open the phone app when you slide open the phone - which I personally think is better.

if you start to key a number you go to the phone app even when you have the pop out menu
so I don't see why disabling it

I second this! is it possible?

Yup it's possible.
Need to terminate 'ASLauncer.exe' in one of the Running Processes.
This will stop any application to run when u slide open the phone.

then it will disable the function that answering a call on slide out?

cant it be done by altering a registry key?

anything on this?

You need to have mortscript installed in the main memory

can this be done with the slide actions app?
if not you can get it to do other things instead

It works!
Thanks!

Hey,
I put the files exactly where you say to.
And it doesn't work.
I can manually start kill.exe and it will work
but for some reason it won't auto run on reset.
Can you give me full paths ?

Hello,
The Run.mscr should be put in the \Windows\StartUp folder.
The Kill folder should be put in the \Program Files folder.

Simple fix
Hi there,
Also posted this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359887 but for completeness here it is again...
I just got my Niki a couple of weeks ago (with T-mobile in the UK) and this has been bugging me too ever since.
I figured that there must be a registry setting to control this somewhere as the Keypad Quicktasks are able to adjust this behaviour. Last night , I finally found it.
The setting in question is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/ActionScreen/Check
With the Keypad Quicktasks on, it is set to 1. With them off it is set to 0 and will instead launch the phone app.
Simply set it to anything else (e.g. 2) and both the Quicktasks and the phone application are disabled upon sliding open the phone. The active slide event is still recognised and sliding the phone open will still answer an incoming call.
Sweet.

Nope.. the slide open to answer call still function.... can always restart ur phone if anything abnormal.. then the ASLauncer.exe will appear again.. and ur action when slide open is as in operation again..

How do I save a webpage?

Is it possible to save a webpage on the HD? You know, just like on the PC, you can save a webpage to view it later off-line.

I presume your using Opera? Go to your webpage you want to save, then just tap bottom right of the screen, then on the STAR Tab. Tap on the PLUS sign on the bottom left and lastly the TICK! You can also put it into a certain folder too!

Thats to create a favorite, I think the post is asking to save the page to view off line in the HD cache, nut sure if by creating a favorite you can view it off line, I am sure someone will tell us.

That's correct. I am not referring to saving a favorite, but rather to saving the page itself to view later without having to connect to the internet again. I don't know if it is possible.

In Menu-Tools, I don't have an option to save as. I only see History, Send Link, Properties and Options. And none of those give me the option to save as.

oops my mistake!

In Opera, touch&hold your finger while in the middle of a webpage, all of a sudden a context menu will appear, there is an option amongst others that says "Save webpage" and another one "Add to Bookmarks".

To what location are they saved?

Yes it is, saved pages can be found under Application Data\Opera\saved pages\ under a default name. You could probably transfer these files anywhere later on and access them from File Explorer (tried that and it works).
Another way to access the page: click the rightmost icon in the bottom soft bar in Opera (the same bar where you can also add to favorites). An option "Saved pages" shows you all the saved pages like they were favorites/bookmarks.
Maybe there is a way to configure the default saved pages folder ... (haven't found anything under opera:config)
BEWARE when you open the file: the phone will probably try to establish a connection via GRPS, it's best to turn on the notification of a GRPS connection, that way you are notified and asked before such a connection can be established.

Wi-Fi settings shortcut

Hi,
I'm looking for the exe file that launches the Wi-Fi settings (start/settings/connections/Wi-fi). I would like to make a shortcut to it...
I had no success looking for it in the windows folder.
Thanks in advance.

I use SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 and this software knows how to get widgets (shortcut) on Today. There is "Wirelless manager" in Start-Settings-Connections. Make a shortcut and be happy!

OK. I try to explain you, but I have the Shell in czech language...I try it. On main screen SPB press right button (next to contacts). Press green plus (add widget), then press first icon (on the left -Shortcut), then Settings-Connections-Wirelless manager and...???? Is it there??? Next step is move button wifi to the right...Wifi is ON and you can search wifi LAN...

This suggestion here may help

Thanx both of you, with the little program from "azahidi's" link i succeeded to use my WiFi, thanx guys your great
Now the only thing is to see how to Unlock ROM and put another one on my phone

Orig WiFi program as supplied with windows can be found using file explorer- Windows folder then scroll down till you see a file"WLanSettings" with a small picture of a PDA next to it.Highlight this file then select copy. Navigate to where you want to install, click in the window. Choose paste shortcut. Next, if you want, rename shortcut. Copy result, navigate to the folder you wish to place the shortcut in (ie settings?), paste. Close explorer, go to start menue, navigate to shortcut just created, should work

Thanks for the suggestion. I already found these WLanSettings, but it still isn't exactly what I'm after. When I launch WLanSetting, next I have to turn on Wireless LAN, wait...because my access point takes a while to appear in the list, because of the waiting period it doesn't "auto connect" anymore, so I have to press "change network" and select it manually from the list with detected access point...Hold it...
Thanks again !! because when trying this (at this very moment), "Settings" appeared in my task manager (after pressing "change network"; this opened Configure Wireless Networks). Through task manager I was able to see what exe-file was behind "Settings". It's "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,17,2". Thanks to Google I just found out that putting 33# before ctlpnl.exe (without a space!) and saving this as .lnk works perfectly!!!

How to re-enable HTC Sense?

Hi guys,
I have a little problem here...
I tried to disable HTC Sense using Setting tab in Sense. OK, so far so good Sense is disabled.
But what if I want to enable it again?... Sense is not present therefore Settings tab is not reacheable, and any options are not reachable even from start menu. There is no settings icon :/
Any ideas?

Start/settings it should be there, if not, there's something really weird going on on your device.

Well, if it would be so easy I would not ask
There is not settings option in startmenu... Its the mentioned problem :/

Try this:
Go into the Windows Mobile Settings, NOT the Manila Settings (you need to active the option to see them in the menu, e.g. with the help of BSBTweaks..), then go to "TODAY", next TAB (Elements in German) and see there is the Manila option. If its unselected, select it, if its selected, make it unselected, softreset and select it again! This should help you. Give it a try and let us know!

Check this out to enable the missing "SETTINGS"!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305

Problem is that I tried to delete directory Windows/StartMenu/Settings and create it again. Since this I can see in start menu only one icon: "Today" which is shortcut for today screen only (same as one of hard keys on HD2).
Therefore I cant install BSBTweaks because I cant reach File Explorer or Total Commander or enything else

There are only three things which I can do with my phone right now:
1. soft reset
2. connect it to the PC via activesync
3. hard reset

Connect via activesync and let us know if you have anything in the folder \Windows\Start Menu\Programs

I have everything there as before this issue. But visible in phone is only Today icon.

Sounds like you've really screwed it mate. Guess that's a lesson - don't delete folders in the windows folder!
My advice would be a hard reset. Sorry - can't think of anything else.

and who's a silly billy then! hehe. looking like a hard reset, unless someone cares to zip up their settings folder for you to try replace your folder, not sure that would work though.

The following will work even if using the basic file explorer that comes with the phone:
- start file explorer
- click on menu (right soft key) and click on "show all files"
- go to Windows
- scroll until you find htcSettingEntry.exe (will take a bit of scrolling!)
- click on it, it will open the "all settings" screen, from there you can access the "today" settings and re-enable sense

Jesus Im piece of noob... I have created Settings folder in Windows/StarMenu/Programs not in Windows/StarMenu. I moved it to correct folder and it is up and running again
Isadoras steps helped also. Using htcSettingEntry.exe file in Windows folder you can reach HTC Settings and set whatever you need.
Thx guys .)

Look in your Manila Core or Sense Core package in the .reg or .rgu for this registry entry and make sure its on 0. Or change in your current ROM using a regeditor. Soft reset and your settings icon will be back in the start menu.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
HideSettings = dword:0

Games

1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files on the device to see the games listed.
How on earth do i do that? I went to FILE EXPLORER - WINDOWS but i am lost from there.Please help.

click menu -- show all files.find bubblebreaker.exe, press and hold, choose copy, then scroll up to the folder start menu, games, click menu - edit - paste.

It doesn't let you just paste though (at least mine doesn't).
You have to paste shortcut.

Thanks I did exactly that but when I checked PROGRAMS-GAMES I cannot see the games j have added in the start menu

as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files on the device to see the games listed
How I do that?

Please help me on this.

just paste the shortcut

just looked at this - open File Explorer and navigate to windows find the bubblebreaker.exe file and press/hold - at the bottom of the box that pops up is 'Send Shortcut to Programs' select this and you should now find a shortcut in the program list you get when selecting the icon in the top left corner of your home screen

The easiest way to do this is to use Resco explorer as it gives you the option to send a shortcut to the programs folder.
However as you have to pay for it I can understand why you might not want to so I had a look at trying it with the windows file explorer and here is how I did it.
Ok so in to the huge windows file and scrolled on down to BubbleBreaker and I've got 4 files with that name but only 2 have the BubbleBreaker icon. The first one is 46.0K in size and thats the .exe file we're after. The other one is just an .lnk shortcut file.
So long press on the .exe file brings up the edit menu. Select copy.
Now go up in the windows folder and in to the Folder named Start Menu, then in to Programs and finally in to Games.
Now if you give a long press on a clear bit of the screen avoiding other files you should have a menu come up giving you the option to Paste Shortcut.
Hit the button and all should be well.
Worked ok on my HD2, I'm running the standard WWE 1.66 Rom
P.S Don't forget to chose the option to show all files in explorer. Just click Menu then put a tick in the Show all files box.
