Larger buttons on dialer needed

I'm wondering if there is a way, maybe through a third party app, to make the buttons on the phone dialer larger. It's kind of a pain to dial while driving and I don't have large hands either.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom

Don´t ask, try yourself! :roll: WM2005 is on the Vario/Wizard!

Im gettin tired of buying apps. Is there a freeweeeh app out like this one?

Yes, but ME software PhonePlus III does not work in landscape mode. The bottom buttons get hidden in landscape. Works though in Portrait. I therefore object to the developers claim that this is fully WM5 compatible. It is only partially compatible.
Kind Regards

You can create your own buttons and experience with the size.
All you need you'll find it in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skins and in Windows directory.
Only thing to remember: you can't override the BMPs in windows directory so create your own directory and save your modified BMPs there. Then change the path to this files in registry and it will work.
Only thing i could change so far is the colour of the Indellidialer because i can't find a link to this BMPs and files in windows directory are locked.
I changed my colors last night in a quick way for testing and now my own skin looks like this:

In windows directory there are several bmp files. I copied them to my desktopn and had a look with explorer preview on them. I identified the bmp files needed by dialer skin and changed the color.
Created a new directory on my mda vario (i.e. PhoneSkin) and copied the modified files back. YOu can't override the installed files in windows directory because they are flagged as ROM files and can't be deleted.
In the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin there are two entries (DIALER and PROGRESS) and each of them with landscape and portrait.
There you can find entries for the several buttons with a link to the files. Cahnge the link to your modified files and after a softreset you'll have your own colours.

Sorry but I can't find that registry entry in my Qtek.
I only have 2 entrys : Enebled and ext.
I already used photoshop to enlarge the buttons with 10% but I can't get them into smartdailer now.
I would also be happy with the layout that shows up for the passwordentry at startup. that one is verry clear and big.

phone pluss great but not compatable
there claim of compatability is fake....its a cool software but momen i dial a number i am back to the old dialer skin...so i have to keep shuffling which is a caos...besides i had aalocated a hardware button call to phonepluand tok ages to just opn the software....
when dialing is on t9 then why not sm...i liked the sms feature but when it came to using it...it was a big problem without t9 featre...i iked the softarefor big buttons but deleted it now...not worth....till they fix bugs...ucan still gie it try

Skinning The WM2K3 Phone Dialer Interface
This is UGLY and RAW.... but it works!
I own a Blue Angel (Cingular - Siemens SX66) & it's running Windows Mobile 2003 SE on it in Landscape Mode.
The Solution; My Solution:
------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 1: Copy & Paste / Drag & Drop (Part 1) ----
-------------------------------------------------------------
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere and call it "Original Phone Dialer Images"
Copy over the the following Phone Dialer .gif images from the windows directory of your phone to the directory you just made on your PC:
clg_dlrbtn.gif
clg_dlrbtnd.gif
clg_dlrbtnd_land.gif
clg_dlrbtnd_sqre.gif
clg_dlrbtn_land.gif

spd_dlrbtnd_sqre.gif
spd_dlrbtn_land.gif
spd_dlrbtn_sqre.gif
---------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 2: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA!!!!! ----
---------------------------------------------------------
Once all of the image files are copied over to your pc create a .ZIP file of this directory.
If you have WinZip installed, right-click on the folder, left-click "Add to Original Phone Dialer Images.zip"
NOTE: this zip file is your backup of the original image files!!!
Once you have your ZIP file nicely tucked away where you won't lose it proceed to the fun part!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 3: Find your Inner Child and hand him a paint brush! ---
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open up your favorite image editor (I used Adobe Photoshop CS2)
Load each image 1 at a time into your image editor.
Be sure to take note of the size of the button inside the image, my advice is to match it quite closely.
After you edit an image YOU MUST save it as the same file type and same name.
Once you have modified all of your images to your liking close your image editor.
------------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 4: Be a 1337 HAX0R! (if only for a moment) ---
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok this part will require a 3rd party application, what you will need to do is kill the "cprog.exe" process. This is the Phone process.
To accomplish this I used the program "Pocket Controller-Professional 5.04", which you can download for free (demo version):
The File: http://www.soti.net/files/PCPro504Setup.exe
The Site: http://www.soti.net
Once installed, execute the program, connect to your phone.
Once connected, at the top of the Pocket Controller interface there is a horizontal "Main Menu".
On the Main Menu click "Tools", then within the Tools menu click "Task Manager"
Once Task Manager is open highlight "cprog.exe" and click the "Kill Process" button.
-------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 5: Copy & Paste / Drag & Drop (Part 2) ---
-------------------------------------------------------------
Locate the folder with all of your modified saved images & copy them back into the Windows directory on your phone, when prompted, choose "Yes to All" to overwrite the originals.
-------------------------------------------
--- STEP 6: SMILE! SMILE! SMILE! ---
-------------------------------------------
Once all the files are copied back over to your phone make a phone call & look at the nice pretty colors. Call your best friend and tell them how some wild and crazy guy just hooked you up and taught you how to tweak your phone!
Included are 2 screen shots taken using Pocket Controller's Screen Capture command. the ONLY thing i did to them was to black out my area code
(and for those paying attention, included in my list of files are more than just the dial pad files.... )
- John

So... does doing this "trick" will enlarge the button?
Or just changing the color...

4 Sided Cube! It Works!

THIS IS FOR THE SPRINT TOUCH ONLY! (HTC VOGUE)
Well, it took me a couple of days, but I've finally been able to get a working 4-sided cube! Here's a screenshot and the details.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SideA - Quick Dial App
SideB - Mini Media Hub
SideC - App Launcher
SideD - 8 button App Launcher
I've also uploaded an alternate D0.brn. Just put it in your \Windows folder and it will be the background for the 4th side.
Now comes the nitty gritty.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH CUBE REGISTRY EDITS!
Basically what this CAB will do is:
- create an APLauncher2.exe in your Windows directory
- create an APLauncher2 folder in your registry
- install the Blank Cube animation provided by storyr
- Create another 8 button App launcher (fourth side) to the HTC Cube that will appear after the first App Launcher
This will NOT:
-change your Media Hub icons or Registry Values
-change your Quick Dial icons or registry values
-change you App Launcher icons or registry values
In the second App Launcher some buttons are assigned, some are not. To assign them you must edit their registry values (which is why I say you should have a basic knowledge of Cube registry editing to install this)
1. WM Player
2. Not Assigned ( I don't have opera mobile installed)
3. Not Assigned
4. Not Assigned
5. FR Notepad
6. Not Assigned
7. HTC Home Customizer
8. Not Assigned
Registry values can be found at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher2>App0-App7
Another issue is that with the new side, individual icons cannot be shown for some reason, so to edit the icons you have to edit the D0.brn. in other words, all the icons are on one image, which to me makes it easier to change a whole page of icons, but it also means there are no "highlighted" icons, either. The text flashes when you press the button, but that is all. Other than that it works perfectly!
This is a big CAB because it replaces all of the animations for your Cube as well as adding a new side.
Hope you guys enjoy!

Nice. i'll try it out.

ok I loaded this app and it is working fine, how do I change the registory to the program I want to launch. I know how to change settings in the registory but I don't know what values. Like if I want to launch a golf game instead of opera, can I do that and where do I get the values for the new registory entry. And thern I have to change the icon in the (pic) file for the 4th side, what program would I use.
I hope I at least have the concept straight, if the info is posted in other forums, like for the wizard or hermes....... can I follow those instructions or should I stick to what I see here?
Thanks for the working program

hey there,
i've a xda star - a nike variant with a 4 sided cube. i've attached a .reg file with which you can add the animation.

to change the programs, the registry values are
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher2>App0 -App7>Path
change the value of path to the location of the program. For example, for the button to open GoogleMaps, the path value would be "\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe" without the quotes.
to edit the background (D0.brn), search this forum for BMP to brn convert. convert the brn to a bmp and then edit it, convert it back to a brn and put it in your \Windows folder on your device.

Would you mind posting the reg values for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch ?
I think it might help in making the 4th side customizable. Thanks in advance!

why not for touch black ? 3450

I am wrong or Sprint touch is the same of htc touch p3450 ?

works with Bell HTC touch ??
Anyone has tried the 4 sided cube on the Bell HTC Touch ?
If not, I think I ll give it a shot...

hello
I have to install the cab I have rebooter but I always have my old cube why?
thank you

I used Cube Configuration Tool from thisguyinoc's and you can find it in the forums or at ppcgeeks.com Its a cap and it gives me the option 6 side cube option and it also makes it easy to set your applications anywhere you want to include the 3 app side. You can set your own icons or you can get some from this site..

Alright, this is the first package i've ever made so feel free to throw granades at me for having bugs and.. bugs.
if you do EXACTLY what this says you will get the EXACT setup i have (considering our devices are not running differently for some reason).
MUST install ALL of these on DEVICE (NOT storage card)
1. Install UltimateLaunch - http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/ultimatelaunch/download/ultimatelaunch_en.cab
2. Install rlToday - http://rotlaus-software.de/download-manager.php?id=13
3. Install Connstate - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=47008&d=1187008834
4. Install WeatherPanel - http://rapidshare.com/files/140386707/WeatherPanel_TRIAL08_Fixed_CAB.zip
5. Install Calendar+ - http://www.mohairsofa.com/content/downloads/calplus.CAB
6. Install NueNobar 1.3 - http://www.nuerom.com/nueDownload/download.aspx?id=37
!. if you want the hardware keys shortcuts using HButton -
http://hbutton.dyndns.org/downloading.jsp?name=HButton_2.3_WM5.CAB
you can install it and run it...
and use the config file i put for you in \Program Files\Hbutton to import my settings to your Hbutton.
check the config files to see what you need to click to run different apps.
for me, Hbutton runs CommManager, iGO8, QUIT, iContact, Enable/Disable WIFI, Enable/Disable BT.
if you need help with that, contact me.
(after installing rlToday,Connstate,Weatherpanel and Calendar+ please go to start/settings/today/items/ and make sure
ONLY UltimateLaunch is marked otherwise you'll get a "DLL Is already active" message).
7. Download Rumball's WeatherPanel Theme and Icons - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781
You can download ANY version you like BUT:
a. put ALL the ICON files in \Storage Card\Program Files\Manila WP Icons\
b. put the THEME files in \Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Themes\Manila
c. a quick note: if you want the 5 day forcast setup i have, rename the Manila.wpl to something else
and then change the file name: Manila-TL-5day.wpl to Manila.wpl
d. i also included a reg file in your \storage card\my documents folder.
incase your weatherpanel setup gets screwed and you start seeing small icons just run the reg file.
8. INSTALL nir36 ULDSetup.cab AND RESET YOUR DEVICE!
http://rapidshare.com/files/149797293/nir36_ULDSetup.cab
9. you will see the WRONG rlToday skin so click and hold on the rlToday skin and choose the Diamond skin
10. In the contacts page you will see 12 contact pictures. you need to switch them with 54x72 icons of your contacts
you should use Any2Icon (http://www.aha-soft.com/anytoicon/any2icon.exe) to convert pictures to .ico files to put in
\Storage Card\My Documents\Icons\ContactIcons. Make SURE these icons are named exactly as the icons in this dir.
11. now i need feedback on this.
i put some strings in the registry which are supposed to set Cal+ to show only 1 appointment for the Home Page.
if it works, you won't have to touch it. if not..click and hold the Calendar+ today item in the Home page and choose
to view 1 APPOINTMENT. please let me know if the reg file works automatically so i can delete this section.
Install these on your device if you want the shortcuts i made fit them

What is vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe for? I have open registry file vjtasknosoft.reg but do not know how to apply it.

vjtoggletoday lets you hide your softkeys.. your systray and your taskbar.
you HAVE to use it for this skin.. otherwise you won't have enough room for everything.
(you can obviously not use it and change my ini file as well).
to use the registry file you need:
http://rapidshare.com/files/130331161/TaskMan2.9Regedit_and_links.rar.html
extract TaskMgr 2.exe and Regedit.lnk to your windows directory and from start/programs run Regedit. after it loads, search for an option to Register Registry files to Regedit so you can run them independently... and run the Vj...reg file. that will do for that.
this regards everyone!!!
in TaskMan2.9 rar file i'm posing here i included Softreset.exe and it's shortcut. both should be put in the /windows directory.

if anyone's interested, i've added a different HomePage look:
I'm posting the rar file needed for this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/130330782/AltHomePage.rar.html
what you need to do is:
- install o2plus2.3.cab
- put the ini file in your UL directory
- extract the Diamond-NoSMSorMC.rar file into your rlToday directory and in the rlToday options choose the "daemon" skin. (there is a font ttf file included in this rar file, you're invited to put it in your /windows/fonts dir).
enjoy
EDIT: in the original version of the Diamond Clock for rlToday (which is included with the rar in this post), nothing happens when you click the clock. i edited the XML file which is supposed to go to the /program files/rltoday/daemon folder so that when you click it you can change clock settings. this is important for any of you who uses the alarms. (i use it on a daily basis).
what you need to do is switch the skin.xml file in the /program files/rltoday/daemon folder with the xml provided.
http://rapidshare.com/files/130342399/skin.xml.html

A few changes
- Moved HomePage o2plus and SMS/MMS today plugins to the middle of the screen.
- Changed the rlToday XML to open Clock when left side of clock is clicked and to open Tasks (for those of you who use it a lot like me), when the right side of the clock is clicked.
- Changed the WeatherPanel WPD WPX WPL files to show the fonts in a nicer more centered way and not to be thrown out of the screen.
- Changed one of the icons in the programs section to the calculator instead of thumbcal (which is run by an upwards gesture on the calendar screen).
- Added a margin to the Internet screen so that the icons are detached from the upper part of the screen (easily clicked).
This is what you need:
http://rapidshare.com/files/130690159/Files18july2008.rar
copy everything from there to the right directories (as they are set inside the rar file).
2 more things.
1. I use HButton to QUIT applications, run iGO8, Comm Manager, iContact, Disable/Enable Bluetooth. this is why they don't appear in the skin.. they're all button controlled. if you need help with HButton let me know.
2. I'm gonna keep all previous posts with the previous files set as they are so that if anyone prefers previous settings he/she can enjoy them.
cheers

i'm asking anyone who has additions, changes and comments about this to please post them here so i can add them and apply them myself.
thank you in advance.

Alright,
Enhancments:
i took James Kuang's (thank you james) rlToday skin (found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409370) and altered it a bit.. to look.. different (changed the XML to show different fonts, edited the clock background in photoshop to be white... yada yada)
a little lighter and fitting with my UltimateLaunch settings.
What you need to do to get that is download the rar file given here, install VJphoneshortcuts from the rar file, and put the Diamond folder in your rlToday folder in program files. then, choose Diamond as the skin in rlToday instead of the old one. (install VJphoneshortcuts on your DEVICE).
whoever took my last advice and installed o2plus - uninstall it now. i included the same setup within the rlToday skin.
also, when clicking the date on the upper right side, it brings up Thumbcal.. and the other settings are still on. clicking the left side of the clock brings up the clock setting and the right side brings up Tasks.
when clicking the number of sms's or the pic next to it, it loads "Messaging"
when clicking the number of missed calls or the pic next to it, it loads "Call History" (you must install VJphoneshortcuts for the missed calls shortcut to work).

Update 7:
This is my current setup (without the Contacts Page .. it is still the same and is shows on the first page of this thread):
Changes:
- removed tray so that there's more room
- HomePage: Brought back the Next Appointment Bar in rlToday skin
- HomePage: clicking on the right side of the clock brings up ThumbCal Tasks
- HomePage: clicking on the date brings up Thumbcal New Task
- Clicking on the Next Appointment bar brings up Thumbcal Today
- Added margins to some of the tabs
- Programs Page: S2P icon replaced with RegEdit since S2P runs using upwards gesture in HomePage
- Calendar+ Page: Upwards gesture brings up Thumbcal 1.0.6 Monthly/Weekly view
- Internet Page: 2 New icons - Wifi Available Networks and Bluetooth Settings. (NOTICE bluetooth button in homepage is for moBlue2.1 while in Internet Page it's for Bluetooth Settings)
Here is the file you need to UPDATE to this setup:
http://rapidshare.com/files/133087891/Update7.rar.html
updating:
1. put the Ultimatelaunch.ini file in your UL dir.
2. put the updated rlToday skin from the program files dir in the rar file to the specified dir.
3. put MSBluetooth.lnk and Network Adapters.lnk in your device's ROOT dir.
4. put vjtoggletodayalphaII in your windows/startup dir (if you haven't already done so in earlier setups) and run the vjtasknosoft....reg file.
5. you MUST install Thumbcal version 1.0.6 (supplied in rar) for the HomePage links to work, otherwise you must setup the options yourself in UL setup.
6. for the dialer, install 2G Htc Dialer.cab and poorlyduck diamond dialer.cab
7. icontact 1.01 is supplied
I must remind you again that not all applications are included in this setup. for instance, i run iGO8, iContact, Enable/Disable Bluetooth/Wifi and Quit using HButton (it is included in the first page of this thread as part of the main setup).
enjoy

Soft keys
nir36 - thank you for a great Ultimate Launch setup
I am trying to get this to work on my Polaris and am installing your setup a bit at a time. One question though is I have 2 soft keys at the bottom of my today screen. This causes a vertical scroll bar to appear on the right of the screen and ruins the overall effect.
Is there a particular part of your installation that removes these soft keys? I have previously tried the program dciNoBar which is supposed to do this, but it does not function correctly with my ROM.
Do you have any suggestions?

putting the file vjtoggletodayalphaII in your startup menu and applying the supplied registry file for it will remove the softkeys.

Not enough space for progs slots on START menu and 'All Programs' no good - No groups

The new TFL3D on the Diamond 2 is a huge improvement over the old one I have on the Touch Pro.
However one really nagging thing is that the Start Menu replacement screen, although easy to use doesn't have enough slots in there. Also selecting 'All Programs' isn't effective if one has a hundred or more programs, since it's not categorized.
For example I would rather havea button to show all program dealing with the Phone/SMS features. A group for all games. Group for all GPS stuff etc.. Right now it's one big mess of mismash.
Any workaround to this? Either provide more program icon slots in the start menu, or better have a shortcut to Groups so once can place several programs under a group(folder).
Hope to find an answer as I wouldn't want to neglect the touchflo.
thanks

you could use a program such as resco or total commander to make folders and move all your programs into the appropriate folders.
The icons you see in the start menu are only shortcuts, so moving them around will have no effect on the running of the applications.
The location to look at to organise all this on your phone is
\windows\start menu\programs

I think you misunderstood mobiler..
What he wants is to either have more slots in the HTC start menu (maybe possible) or have programs organised in folders under "all programs"
I'm having a similar problem. I'm looking for someone who can point out a link to the original windows' programs list. Then I can put a shortcut in HTC's start menu.. rather than using the confusing "all programs"

so what you want is to have more slots available when you press start. That's what the guy wants ... I never use more than 9 ...

Yes.
Or to have shortcuts to program groups.
Like one slot for all GPS programs. one slot for all Phone programs, one slot for all games.. etc..
Or at least it would have been also easier to have the 'All Programs' long list organized into groups.

see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=535730 - if I understood corectly (read about 4 times to get the idea ...), this provides 4 columns instead of 3 in the start menu, meaning that you will have 32 slots instead of 24. Be careful, there are bugs.

Organizing TF3D Start Menu
There is another solution to organize your Start Menu better, but its not very convenient as you have to manually change the registry and .
I added folders to my TF3D Start Menu for different categories. When you click on a folder you see the programs that belong to that category, but only in a list, not in the same view as on the Start Menu. See my screenshots to understand better.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1st step:
Create Folders in Windows\Start Menu\Programs. I used Backup, Configuration, Games, Navigation
2nd step:
Copy the links of the programs you want to have under Backup, Configuration, ... from Windows\Start Menu\Programs into the folder you want to see programs
3rd step:
You need a registry editor to add these folders to your TF3D Start Menu.
The entries are stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher.
You will see there keys named 0 to 23. 0 is for the tab that is on the top left of the start menu, 1 is for the tab in the top middle, 3 is the tab in the second row left side, and so on.
Before you change anything here check on which tabs you want to have the folders in the Start Menu. For me it was 12, 13 and 14.
Open the key that you want to be your folder on. There are 5 entries, (Default), DispName, IconPath, IsReadOnly and Path.
DispName and Path are the two you have to change.
In DispName you enter the name you want to see in the Start Menu, e.g. "Navigation".
In Path you enter the path to the folder, e.g. "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Navigation"
4th step:
Close the registry editor and do a SoftReset. Then you will see the folders in the Start Menu.
Additional tips (Not tested by me):
To change the picture of the folder in Start Menu there are 2 possibilities.
1
Put a file named icon.lnk into the folder. The file should link to the picture. For the games folder it is shelres.dll,-8229.
2
Put the link to the picture into the registry entry IconPath
The first tabs on your Start Menu are protected. If you want to place something else there, change the registry entry of 0, 1, 2 and/or 3 IsReadOnly from the value 1 to 0 and you can delete them in TF3D Start Menu and assign other applications to them.

.............EDIT: OOppps, it seems that fellow member "BeeGee_Tokyo" was a few seconds faster than me!!!! He also provided pics to make it easier. Well done!..........................
I feel exactly the same. Tried the 4 rows option but didn't like it at all.
What I did was this:
1. by using Total Commander or Resco Explorer (for R.E. make sure that in the settings you enabled the viewing of all files), go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs and you will see all your installed program's shortcuts in there (all the ones you see when you press "all programs"), and create folders in there and move the program shortcuts into the appropriate folders. For example my Programs folder has folders named "System Tools", "Connection Utils", "Utilities", Multimedia", "Office", "Games" etc, with the appropriate program shortcuts inside each folder. Do not leave any program shortcuts in the Programs folder
2. By using a registry editor (search for one), create an entry in the start menu for every folder (see instructions below)
Now you have shortcuts for each folder, and if you press one (ie Games) it opens the folder with the appropriate program shortcuts in it (ie all my games shortcuts that I moved in there from the programs folder in windows).
The method for creating the shortcuts in the start menu through registry, is found on another thread in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508120 , and kudos goes to "prdic" in post 5.
In my example, one registry entry (the "games" one) looks like this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\14
DispName Games
IconPath
IsReadOnly 0
Path \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\

thanks for adding the credits, my sources are the same, was just too lazy to search for the threads and members.

Thank both of you guys!
Excellent Explanation.
Pitty it would take a lot of messing around with the registry Which is not a problem for me but just terribly time consuming But I guess that is exactly what I was looking for. So thanks again. I will try this once I have some free time

hi there,
when i try to link to a directory (or a link to a directory) and klick on that link i always get an error message saying the file can't be opened. It's not signed or on of its components can't be found.
i also get that error when i choose a link to a directory via touchflo's "Add".
any idea why? is my touchflo to old? (stock rom from o2 germany)

It should work. Double check if the path is entered correct, that is my only guess. Can you post what you entered in the registry?

Excellent tips there.
Thanks!
However, I feel that Manila start menu will open any folder, but dump every shortcut in root AND subfolders together.. So there's no way to have folders in the list view.
Anyways.. is there a way I can link it to WM's default programs list?

Not sure what you mean with "dump every shortcut in root AND subfolders".
As you can see in my screenshot, when I click on Navigation in Start Menu, I see only the links in the folder Navigation.
For the WM's default program list, the path you enter in the registry would be \windows\Start Menu I guess.

Hi there, thank you for your reply.
i tried to specify a path with and without ending \ or links to that directory, eg:
\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\Spiele\
\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\Spiele
\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\Spiele.lnk
The correct icon of the games-folder (spiele == games) is always shown, but a click always gives the error.

I tried it on my Topaz with the following registry entries:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\19]
"Path"="\windows\Startmenü\programme\spiele"
"DispName"="Spiele"
"IconPath"=""
"IsReadOnly"=dword:00000000
and it works.
I exported the registry key and attached it here. It will put the Spiele folder on tab 19 in the TF3D Start Menu. Unzip it and copy the 19.reg on your phone, and install it (I use Resco File Explorer to install). If you want to change the tab number, open the .reg file with a text editor and change the 19 to the tab number you want.
If this is not working on your Topaz, it might be a problem with Manila. My Manila is 2.0.38149.0 (shown at About on Settings tab)

Win10Tile - native, custom Windows 10 tiles with jump list and context menu

Update 19.08.16: New design and a lot of refactoring. You can search now! Tiles are now saved with a filename-specific name. This means that tiles for applications in a common folder can be created! Added solution to MS Office applications (see below).
Update 18.11.15: Separate images for small tiles supported (just don't select one if you want to use the same.) Deleting a custom tile is now possible (just click delete )
Update 16.11.15: Startmenu items are not listed recursively, i.e., also startmenu subfolders are supported.
Dear all,
since Th2, Windows 10 allows for custom tiles via a visualmanifest.xml again. I created a small application that allows you to create custom tiles for any item in your startmenu. As this is completely native, jump lists and context menus are fully working and no other services are needed.
The app is extremely simple. It lists all your (root) shortcuts of your startmenu. Simply select one item (application target is then the location where the shortcut points to) and select an image. Hit save and you are done. Pin the shortcut as usual to your startscreen. The image is copied to the application directory.
If you intend to create tiles for apps like calculator, please consider the excellent tutorial given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64055883&postcount=53
The app requires administrator privelegs to modify the creation time of the shortcut (otherwise the tile won't be refreshed).

Solution to MS Office applications:
It is not possible to create custom tiles for MS Office applications such as MS Word, Excel, etc. using this application. Somehow a custom tileimage in the corresponding visualelementsmanifest is ignored. However, it is easy to change the tile-images!
1) Navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\LogoImages (For Office16, @razmth reports to look at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\LogoImages)
2) Replace the respective tileimages. You only need to replace the -100.png images for a medium tile! For example, simply change the WinWordLogo.scale-100.png with a custom MS Word medium tile.
3) Startmenu entry must be refreshed. Select the <NameOfMSOfficeApplication>.lnk in MyTile (it will point to something xlicons.exe). Click on refresh.
Note: The original visualelementsmanifest.xml must remain. If you change them via this app, the above workaround does not work anymore. Get them from some other office installation and copy them over. You can manually edit them (via, e.g., Notepadd++) to change the color or hide the name. Afterwards refresh (see 3).
Warn:
An existing visualelementsanifest.xml in the target application root will be overwritten. An existing *filename*-mytile.png in the target application root will be overwritten.

Nice find! I noticed that Chrome also had a larger icon in recent builds, and a different colour for the background, and sure it enough, it has a visual manifest file. So does each of the Office 2016 apps.

This app is awesome, it works really well. I wouldn't mind if this feature could be merged into BetterStartMenu or TileCreator

There is no need for a companion universal app with the new TH2 release, that's the whole point. This is the "right" way to do it, and there's no reason for tilecreator or betterstartmenu to exist.
Well, they have much better UIs, as this is the very first proof of concept. But all we're talking about here is creating a textfile and copying a PNG image to the executable's directory, so I expect UIs will come soon enough. Very cool!

I started one today, with image & colour pickers, because if I am going to convert all my tiles, I don't want to do it by hand.
There is documentation in the MSDN library about this tile format, which was introduced in 8.1.

Didn't know that. Can you point me to the documentation?

Here is the link for the visual manifest;
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn393983.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
About halfway through;
Tile design best practices specify that if your tile is not a live tile, it should not claim the extra screen space required for wide (310x150) and large (310x310) tiles. Because a desktop app's tile is always static and never live, those additional tile sizes are not supported in this schema.

I encountered that "small icon on black background", too (Chrome and Firefox had this problem). I solved it by simply creating a new shortcut to the exe and copying it to the startmenu (deleting the old startmenu entry).

create a new shortcut to firefox.exe and place it in the startmenu. then pin again. this should solve your issue.

Indeed, that worked, thanks!
