Great idea!

Nice stuff. But how do you open URL with Opera instead?
And how do you start an installed app?

Im not too sure. I spent while yesterday trying to figure out where the root read directory is.
EDIT: Seems the exe's are located in \\Windows\
So, im guessing if you wanted to launch a website in Opera it would be
Open google.com

I can confirm ^^ works

Not sure yet. However most of the apps should be in \\Windows

How about trying the winmo aliases, can't find a list of em at the mo, but : DEFBROWSER and the like. (without the space, stupid smilies)
Then the paths have defined shortcuts but I can't find a list of those either (I'd best go to bed too tired, before I fail to find that as well) something like CE% points to /windows etc.

Launching Other applications
To launch applications from the Program Files directories you need to use something of this form ...
Google Maps
The "%CE1%" sets you to the program files directory
To launch the messaging facility you can use ...
Messaging
Please note I've only tested the two examples I have given at the top not these other ones here for access to other areas of windows mobile
%CE1% \Program Files
%CE2% \Windows
%CE11% \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
%CE14% \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
%CE17% \Windows\Start Menu
%CE18% <default volume, dependent on device configuration>
%CE19% \Application Data

hi,
im making a new panel and have been able to make the app start by pressing on a button on my panel. is it possible to make the app autostart when i press u press on the panel?
if so could someone post the code i need.
thanks

Hi there and thanks for this tips!
I've got an application saved on my memory card, any idea how to specify the link to be able to start the app?
Thanks
Stefan

Hi again,
Having tested a bit more I realised there is one more basic thing I don't get to work besides figuring out the right path to the memory card.
I have an application that I have developed myself. The application can be started by going browsing for the file in the file explorer, and then clicking it. the question then is; How do I then make a link in my html-panel to start the application?
I thought I could use the links like above, but exchange the name of the application to the file-path? This seems to work for my installed applications, e.g. Xperia Tweak can be started by with:
XperiaTweak
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But my own application can not be started with:
VOR applikation
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Or are there alternative ways of starting up my application?

Stefan

Hi there,
I'm building my own panel and get stuck with some links that are on my memory-card.
I want to link to G-Alarm wich is on \Opslagkaart\Programmabestanden\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe (yeah, that's Dutch), but the link to
extended://app:start?app=\Opslagkaart\Programmabestanden\ageye\G-Alarm\GAlarm.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
doesn't work. I get a . NET CF initialising error. Strange because I can open these from the Start menu. Same goes for moBlog:
extended://app:start?app=\Opslagkaart\Programmabestanden\moBlog\moBlog.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And does someone know where to link to if I want to start the MSN chat, the Calculator and the Notes?
When I've taken care of these little issues, I'll share my panel here. Thanks in advance!

tnx

Anyone Know any more?...
Hi gys, been working on a HTML panel and cant find out the following info.
I'm sure all the exe's have additional args, is there anywhere that has them all together.
one im looking for is for the tmail.exe so i can show sms when i click on the image.
i have at the moment
Code:
a href="extended://app:start?app=tmail.exe" img src="email.bmp" alt="email"></a>
this will open the mail app but not automatically select the email screen.
Anyone know the right arguments?
It's really annoying that this isnt held centrally somewhere, sony need to get in gear, lol!

Opening a .lnk file
Hi guys / gals,
i have a two .lnk file in windows folder that will allow me to create a new text msg and allow me to go to sms view in tmail.exe.
How would i open these using html?
tried a few variations.
href="\WINDOWS\NewSmsMsg.lnk" will open the text contained in the file and messes up the panel, sets the panel screen to be the text inside the shortcut file from then onwards, the panel must be uninstalled to fix that issue.
calling href="WINDOWS\NewSmsMsg" done nothing
same as href="NewSmsMsg" and ="NewSmsMsg.lnk"
Anyone got any ideas.
Annoying as clicking on these shortcuts in the windows folder will do the desired action, just trying to get me html panel to do more useful actions.
Oh and you can write java script in html panels, it's in the example html panel for visual studio creating panels, not sure about flash, have not tried it, it probably JS only being microsoft.

Camera working, notes, msn messenger, calculator
here is the code to run camerarunner.exe that some people have had an issue with:
Code:
<img src="camera.png" alt="Images"/>
hope that helps some people out.
also to run notes its:
Code:
<img src="notes.png" alt="notes"/>
messenger is:
Code:
<img src="messenger.png" alt="Messenger"/>

[REF] HTC Album - how to hide folders from

not many responses to this thread, so i don't know if anyone cares
but here is the solution, not too hard
1. on your phone fire up your favorite Registry Editor
2. go to HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
a. if Ignored key doesn't exist create it
3. create a new String Value and name it anything you like
example: igo
4. set the Data for the new value to the full path of the folder to be ignored
example: \Storage Card\iGO8
note: all sub-folders will be ignored as well
5. restart your phone
note: the folder and it's sub-folders will not show up in Album
now that i can carry thousands of my photos with me
i realize that HTC Album gets crowded with sub-folders/albums
most are sub-folders with my photos and i guess i have to live with that
but also some system and miscellaneous folders show up
simply put a lot of finger scrolling
is there a way to hide / ignore certain sub-folders from HTC Album?

bumping
because i'd like to know if this is possible
i figured if windows and program files are hidden from the list,
there has to be a way to hide other unwanted folders

I don't think there is a way on the HD without something like resco explorer but, on your PC change the folder or file attribute to hidden before transferring to your HD.

bumping the solution

Thanks, this is great tip

tagging this so I can find it after each reflash

If you just want to keep photos out of TF3D album (so it will still appear in albums if ytou launch HTC Album but not in the TF3D tab) and it's easier: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1789
yopu just pick a folder as your favorite.

Hi Sir B, i am quite new to changing software on my phone, do you recommend a Registery Editor that i can use to hide an album as you described, its exactly what i need to do so home and work are kept seperate.
any help would be really apreciated

i personally use dotFred Task Manager it has a very good Registry Editor built-in
easy to use and powerful application

Hi, great tip by the way. Managed to hide the images coming from gAlarm. Is it possible to have the same thing for Music? I dont want those sound files from a third party app to be included in the ALL music tab, my quick fix is to use a playlist Thanks.

Excellent tip mate, surprised you haven't had many other responses!!

You are the Man!!!
I have been looking for away to do this for ages.

Ahh cool. Can this be made into some kind of batch file, so when you flash it can be added right back in?
Actually, is there a way to ignore everything and add the folders you want to include?

after you populate it the way you like export the Registry KEY
import after flash,
or
convert to XML or CAB and install
these topics are covered better elsewhere in this forum,
search for "UC or user customization" or SASHIMI

Thanks guys... great tip. If you flash your ROM's as often as I do, this little back up will come in very handy. I've lost track of the number of times I've re-entered my favourites into Opera!

A problem with deleted registry keys

Hi folks,
I was trying to change the Favourites icons on the HD2, having found them in the Windows > Thumbnails folder, and managed to delete both of the registry keys in doing so. I thought they would reappear if I removed and replaced the Favourites, but they haven't, and now I am left with no website icon at all, just the grey 'internet' icon. I have set other Favourites to different buttons, and these work fine, the registry keys having appeared. How can I fix the problem with the first two icons?
Thanks for any help.
Simon.

Anyone?

No, it was one of those {xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx} type keys, and I have no idea what the letters and numbers were now. I'm just annoyed with myself for not taking a backup first. It was the old "It'll be alright" syndrome.

Make a backup of your phone (e.g. with SPB Backup), then Hard-reset, then restore backup.

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid that, but I think I'll have to.

Have you only tried setting them as what they were before, or have you tried setting them to different favourites?
I had a similar problem and got round it by modifiying the URL in a way that would not change the location, but make the UI think it was different, and therefore reloaded the icons.

Yes, I've tried with different URLs, and they work. The problem definitely seems to be with the URL. If I use that same URL in any of the other button links, they too won't display the thumbnail, but will for any other URL, and any other URL also works in the two buttons I've 'broken'. Seems I need some way to make it completely forget those two URLs, so that I can start again. Deleting them from Favourites doesn't do it, as the same thing happens again when I redo them.

Then try this trick - it's how I fixed the exact problem.
Remove the problem favourites from the internet tab.
Open either Opera or IE so you can edit your favourites.
Modify the URL of the problematic favourites by adding ?a=1 (If the URL already has a ? and then some other stuff, put &a=1 instead).
You should now be able to add the favourites back to the internet tab, and after a visit to them in Opera they should have refreshed (fingers x'ed!)
Let us know how you get on

OK, well, that works, until I remove the '?a=1' and go back to the original URL. If I don't do that, the browser ignored the ';wap2' suffix, and opens up the full site, which I don't want, as it's a forum, and it's 100 times easier to use the 'wap' interface. If I add ';wap2' after the '?a=1', then it does open the wap interface, but takes me to the index page, rather than Unread Posts, which is what the bookmark is for.
I know I'm being a bit fussy and anal, but these two forums are the ones I Admin on, so I use the bookmark links all the time, and it's going to be annoying if they don't work the way I want them to.
Thanks for the suggestion, though, and if you can think of a way to get it to work, I'd be more than grateful. I won't post the full link, so as not to spam, but the URLs are both the same, and are variants of:

[How To] New EM Diagnostic Menu - FW Updated DVP's

Folks, the hidden menu under the Dell EM app has been cracked open. Here is how to get to it. Its still stupid of Dell to have a convoluted way to get get to it.
1. GO to EM app on your DVP (dial ##634# - if u haven't done so to make the app appear under apps)
2. Open physical keypad
3. Double tap the blank dark area of the screen (below the MMS settings)
4. On the physical keyboard, press each of the first row buttons (qwertyuiop)
5. This should open up the advanced menu.
Same password to get to the RD Test and Protocol - *#6336#
Be careful when using the Chinese language menu's. It will make the app language as Chinese. You can always exit and come back to the app.
New features:
Nothing much except one important feature - File Browser (Windows Explorer)
Registry Editor - still doesn't work for writing and only good for reading.
How to Get to File Browser:
1. Go to RD Test. In the input box type *#6336#
This will open up RD test page.
2. Scroll to the bottom and click About EM. This will open up SORRY APPLICATION.
3. In the empty input box, type 983. This will open up the file browser.
The Explorer is so slow and might crash the app.
Note:The above steps only works for the DVP's that have the new EM App and updated FW version - 2250.1800.7355.205 and beyond or close to that.
If you try to load the new EM App in the current DVP's, it will not work for the new features.

--deleted. wrong post

Does any of this allow the DVP to backup SMS, for example if they are stored in a data file?

Built-in file explorer
Thanks for the info on the built-in file explorer.
One thing I have noticed is it shows more files and directories than other methods of looking at the files (like using the web server app).
I can see files in the root as well as many other directories.
For example, when I open the file explorer I see:
Storage Card\
Windows\
Temp\
Application Data\
mxip_notify.vol
Applications\
mxip_system.vol
My Documents\
Program Files\
Wallpapers\
DOCFILE\
and more...
I am not sure that it is helpful, but it is different.

How bout write access to the file explorer? Everything I find says it's for HTC products only.

Is there a way to permanetly change the touch sensitivity of the phone or will it always reset to the default of 40 after a power cycle?
