Dialer and start menu from touch pro 2

I tried itje's 4.0rc3.1 and it is awsome. For me not ready for daily use though. Question, is there a cab for the new dialer (because it works flawlessly in landscape unlike the blackstone one). Also, can the new start menu be used without TF3D? Is there a cab for that, or does that come with TF3D 2? How about the youtube from the TP2? I am guessing/hoping that has landscape support.

bumping this up - have the same question A cab would be awesome

To answer my own question, it does come from TF3D. The programs tab from TF3D has become the new start menu. It is possible to revert to the old start menu and reinstate the programs tab. Also, if you disable TF3D, old start menu comes back.

So I would have to install the new TF3D(from Rhodium) to get this running, right?

Yes, install and you must enable it.

What about the dialer? Could that be available as a cab install for Xperia R2A stock ROM?

Does anyone know about any other way to set the start menu to display a bigger menu - easier to tap while driving - then the enlarged menu?
Thanks

How to customize SK1 on Home screen

I have read the how to's, but my Manila 2D is different -
My HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila2D/Home only has entries for the SK2 - the righthand key. I have changed it successfully, now I would like to change the other key SK1.
Where do I find it? Or is it 'hardwired'?
I haven't tried the Manila2D Customiser because I am not sure if it would do this either if the key is not there.

Yes, you can use M2DC. It adds new keys.
Or add yourself manually. examples here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3399346&postcount=37
you can just add new parameters.

Thanks guys, I will try the customiser.

The Customiser worked OK.

[App] 18 buttons Action Screen with Wifi & BT state indicator

I have adapted the HD 18 buttons Action Screen, with Wifi and Bluetooth status indicator, to the Rhodium bluetooth stack.
All credit goes to Wedge666 (thread here), to posters in his thread for customisation and of course to first Action Screen developper (I would quote him if I knew. Anyone knows? Or was it adapted from a HTC application?).
As in the original from Wedge666, you trigger with Manila Home tab right soft key, and you can configure program to make it running in background if you wish (quicker?). You have no confirmation message on shut down or reset.
You get advice about installation and basic customisation explanation in the HD thread.
Thierry
EDIT : on Roms with Action Screen already installed, it may be difficult to completely uninstall this version. And you need to apply the fix here.

Thanks thierry2064,
Will try it.
Greetings from Lille

You are welcome!
I attach here the version I use now, black and white except for the network status indicator, plain black background. Links to Pocket informant, Opera Mobile, Resco Explorer, Tomtom.. but this is easy to change, as explained in the HD thread. I may personalize it later (the favorite people button is a "heart" game card now).

not showing up
i followed instructions for this by installing mortscript then .net.
nothing showed up on home tab.
the softkeys phone(L) and menu(R) still remain from rom .
im using HTCSense2.5 Landscape|Rhodium_AF|WM65 23529 by ark on my att tilt 2.
so by using total commander i see that it is intalled and the config icon is in start menu and folder in windows.
but how do i make a softkey for this or shortcut or something?
help?

Did you reset ? By the way if you had the cab in the third post (NC for no color), pease do not install, because I forgot some blutooth files... I will upload corrected version later.

help
i soft reset after every step.
action screen works, but i had to find link via total commander.
only action screen config had link in start up menu.
i copied paste action screen link to start up menu via total commander but link was not pretty and i dont know how to change its icon.
also, neither the left or right soft key changed after installation as mentioned in my previous post.
any help is much appreciated.
could it be the rom i am using?
i used the color actionscreen cab

If you feel like to change the registry (take care, if you do some wrong change you could have to hard reset), you can go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
then change HomeRSKPath to \Windows\ActionScreen\LauchAction.exe and HomeRSKText to Action. Afetr reset you should see "Action" on the right low corner of the Home tab of Manila. If it does not work I do not know, maybe you shopuld ask on your Rom thread...

thanks
thanks for your advice.
doing regedit is alil beyond me bcuz i am new to this.
i still appreciate your effort.

Here is the version I use now. I added text, and warnings for Power Off and Reset. Customized to my needs, you have to see explanations in the HD thread to customize it to yours.
Here is a customization tutorial : http://www.techparaiso.com/customiz...how-to-assign-it-as-power-button-application/
I do not use Photoshop, the freeware Paint.net does the basic work. The icons could be nicer, if you make or find some nice icons, please share the background and the icons so that we can use it!

Can you please work on setting the action screen to the power button of TP2 instead? thank you for your great work...

Actually I configure the Home button to launch Action Screen, with this excellent application : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
You can do the same wih Power Button long press.

Sorry about this, but I uninstalled a number of times with no problem, just with Settings / System /Remove Programs... Did you try a reset ?

Close HTCActionScreen.exe manually.

Hi charlieb620
You need to close the Action Screen process manually using a task manager like dotfred's or schap's. You're looking for HTCActionScreen.exe.

tried a reset and it wont let me uninstall

when i try to overwrite or uninstall i get this message. i dont want to hard reset but i think i might. cause now my phone freezes when i go to my action screen. and yes i have mortscript and sdk installed. i cant do anything. i get that message. when i kill process i go back to try to uninstall and will just stay there iin programs list

I am wondering if it is not a problem with another version of action screen installed on the Energy ROM. Can you see another one in "remove program" ? Maybe this 18 button action screen is not compatible with the Energy Rom (I have a stock Rom).

Rename the extension

Hi charlieb620
Try using Total Commander to rename the extension of HTCActionScreen.exe to .ext or something like that. If it let's you, restart the device and you should be in business.

any advise will be greatly apreciated
On the home screen of my diamond 2, below the touchflo slider icons i have two links one is 'Phone' the other is 'Camera'.
Basically i want to change the 'Camera' link to 'Contacts' or 'All People' so i can quickly access my contacts.
Im sure this is possible, can any one point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance

**Edit, removing program**

tried keyswop but it didnt work for me
managed to get it working with diamond tweaks but it only had a set amount of programs to choose from, i wanted 'HTC people' version of contacts but it only listed the windows mobile layout of the contacts... yeah i know i am being a bit picky!!!!
is there any way of adding htc people to the list?
Thanks for all the advice mate

I just find this:
http://tiltmobility.com/remap-your-today-softkeys/

Softkey Changer didnt work for me im afraid......thanks for the info my friend.
The search continues !!

Maybe this:

You may try HDTools or Advanced Config aswell, I remember it worked for me when I had WM6.1, but should work also with 6.5, since the registry keys are the same in that area.
EDIT: I thought that it wouldn't be very smart to install a whole app just to get one tweak..so I made a little .cab that should link the Left Soft Key to Contacts. Tested and working on my device, I hope it works for you!
Install on your device (not SD) and soft reset, that's it. To revert to previous configuration just uninstall the .cab in the usual way.

That may help You forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3292483&postcount=2

thanks for the ideas i will try them out.
This forum is awsome and thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply.

I'd go for FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab it's free and simple a real WYSIWYG application

1. Check your Manila_Photo package from the VGA port you're using. Make sure it overwrites the WVGA original one.
2. Quickshutdown transparency works ONLY with 6.5 ROMs. You would have known that if you read the first post of the application.
3. Look for PNG files in the HTC Menu Enhancement package for the OS menus.... and you'll need to find the corresponding _manila files for the menus in your screenshot to edit. Sorry.. dont know them off the top of my head.

thanks for the answers
but why i can't rearrange the home screen tabs?
