[REQ] 6.5 Modifications, Is this possible? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I know we can change the order of the tabs on the default windows today screen, but is it fully customizable yet? I want my text tab to take me to sms chat,my music tab to open s2p, and my favorites tab to open up opera or show my opera favorites not internet explorer cause i dont even use that. Is this possible using the registry??

partially possible
you can change the soft keys to whatever you want by editing the registry
here: \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\
like on the clock plugin my soft key is galarm for example
and on the text one you can replace the "compose" with say a link to pocketcm
all you have to do is change two registry entries in the corresponding folder in the registry one for the link text and one for the link to the program or even website which I did to launch custom bookmarks
it's surprisingly customizable
the only one I don't think you can change is the music
but next time you should really ask in Q and A

this isn't the place for questions
please refer to the Q&A section
thank you

Display a text programatically on the today screen

I would really hate going through the stupid evc today plugin example that Microsoft provides on MSDN. I basically need to dispay some text on the todayscreen from my application. Is there an easy way to do this?
On the smartphone I can use the owner plugin and set it to show only the notes that I can modify via the registry with my application - but for some reason all the owner information can't be modified through the registry on WM5/6 PPC edition.
Another quick fix for me would be to find a way to actively change the current owner's name and phone number or a simple plugin that will read a string value from somewhere in the registry.
Anyone can help, please?
levenum's RegDisplay does exactly the things u need.
Search in this section or pm me if u don't get it.
Found it! It's perfect! Thanks!

Hi,
If you just looked 30 minutes ago you saw a post of my about removing the youtube icon and URL from the internet browser tab:
See post:
Removing Youtube rom Internet Browser
Hi,
If you want (need) to delete youtube from the internet browser tab then do the following via the register:
Please edit the register for example with PHM Registry Editor and change the following value
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila2D/InternetWidget/Customized/CustomizedCount=0 (original set on 1).
Reboot/Reset MDA>Ok
Rgds,
EZengin
The youtube one cannot be removed easily i dont think.
But you can add and change your own bookmarks by clicking the "All bookmarks" button in the bottom left, and then click the plus button to add new ones, and obviously the X to delete.
In regards to wether this is the right place to post this question, no it isnt, you should ask this question INSIDE the Syrius R4 thread.
Obviously your new to this site, so all is forgiven.
Hope that answers your question
Hi,
- with registry editor go to :
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manilla2D\InternetWidget\Customized
- Delete the key "0"
- Disable then enable Manilla2D or Softreset your phone
Hi
thanks for all the input but i catually want to create a shortcut to another application (google maps). ive tried adding it but to no avail!
any ideas?
I still want the youtube one though
Sorry about wrong place!
GBDS
Did you try to look in the register for the InternetWidget key and change the value of OperaEXEfile to the program you want to use ?
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manilla2D\InternetWidget
?
I still want to use opera as my default browser but the main aim is to add another shortcut under the 'launch browser' icon so that i can run google mpas from my internet page
Try changing:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manilla2D\InternetWidget\customized\0\customizedurl
It says: '\windows\Youtube.exe'
Change '\windows\youtube.exe' in '\program Files\Googlemaps\Googlemaps.exe'
To change the Title change this value:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manilla2D\InternetWidget\customized\0\customizeTitle
into: 'Googlemaps'
Good luck!
Don't forget to disable and re-enable manilla after the change...

"Programs" panel in titanium?

Hi all.. i've searched for a while now and installed multiple plugins, but I still cannot add a "Programs" tab!! I want to be able to launch apps from titanium, is it possible?
I'm looking for the same thing - something to put my favorite apps on so I can launch directly from the Titanium panel.
I thought I saw something somewhere about this but now I can't find it. So I am looking too.....

There is a thread where a chome customizer is developed. With it you can add a plug in and launch your favorite programs, or you can add a new page to an existing plug in, and launch them from there,

hi, i have installed CHome editor but i dont know how to add a program to launch. any help please?
There is a very well explained guide here in post 2. I think you need a few hours on your hands to achieve results though as it does not look straightforward.

I agree, I have played with that program and actually added a programs panel, but then how does one add the necessary items? I think we need a tutorial somewhere on what are the available registry entries for Titanium....

You create a new panel, Launcher for ex., then you add a new page and you add as url a program, then you add another page with another program to launch and so on. Then you can swipe from one page to the next one and tap to launch the program you want. If there are too many favorite programs you could add instead a folder with all the programs in there, or launch a program launcher like iLaunch.
Just a few thought how i would do it.
This is most likely the way to do it:
ACTIONURL= Location of exe/ink/etc for the plugin when you press on the panel or press the center D-Pad Button (Example: ”\Windows\fexplorer.exe” to make the plugin open File Explorer)
SK1URL= Same as ACTIONURL, but for the “Left Soft Key”.
SK1TEXT= The text displayed for the “Left Soft Key”.
SK2URL= Same as ACTIONURL, but for the “Right Soft Key”.
SK2TEXT= The text displayed for the “Right Soft Key”.
DefaultXML/ExtensibilityXML= Active plugins and their order. Also tells CHome which CPR’s to use (filename).
Creating a Programs Tab
From my findings, it seems you can achieve the result you are looking for by editing 3-4 files.
1. bronzeres.dll (this contains the icons for each program you want to launch)
2. Titanium_###x###.cpr files (2 if you have a landscape mode)
3. registry change
What you need to do is change everything that is set for the CWelcomeCenter and turn it into your programs panel. Look at this post for an example of my registry change .dll and .cpr files for an example. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3651793&postcount=78
Hope this helps in your search
got it. Using CHome Editor:
1. open CHome Editor, click Add New Panel, create a name for it (ex. Programs)
2. after adding "Programs Panel", click on Add New Page, then choose "Program" from the list and click on "Create"
3. back to the CHome editor menu, click on Edit Items Value, and choose "Programs" from the list on the left hand list of panels.
4. choose Page 1, and then edit these values:
ACTIONURL= Location of exe/ink/etc for the plugin when you press on the panel or press the center D-Pad Button (Example: ”\Windows\fexplorer.exe” to make the plugin open File Explorer)

Thanks for the summary - it makes it so much easier when you see it in a list like that. Just to add for completeness before 5. above
PICTURES= location of the graphic to be displayed in the panel eg. \My Documents\Car.png
TEXT1= Text you want to appear in the panel eg. Tom Tom Navigator.
It just looks better with these added rather than having a blank panel.
TouchFlo is so yesterday

I think it gets resized automatically because the car one I have shown is 489x365 on the device - way too large. Another one I did for the camera is 128x128.

After we have created these panels what is a good way to extract them so we can share them? I have a few I want to create I want to share them.

since they are created as registry entries, you may extract them as reg files using resco registry

Just added a new Program panel, which launches iLaunch, with text and icon and everything and it works nice. As i customized cHome quite a bit up to now, what everything do i need to backup, to restore it when i flash a new ROM, to get exactly cHome back as it is now?

SOMEONE HELP. Changing right softkey(s) on each individual panel in WM 6.5 Titanium

Is there anyway that I can set a right softkey change in titanium? )Not left softkey, that is very easy to do with registry editor. But I can't find options like that for the right softkey which would probably be SK2)
For example:
My Photos Panel - All Photos = From Pictures & Videos App to HTC Album
My Music Panel - Library = From Windows Media Player to any other music application (S2P, Core Player, Kinoma Freeplay, Audio Manager, etc)
^Those really are the only tabs I want to change. Please help. PLEASE there has to be a way. Maybe somehow editing CRP files in the Windows directory, or changing the values in a registry editor in the same style as SK1TEXT, SK1URL, etc.
I've tried inserting my own keys into the registry : "SK2TEXT, SK2URL," and they didn't work.
Anybody??
is anyone out there to help me???? would cLauncher help me to do this ^??!?!
I believe thats only changeable in each plugin registry values, and some really need that key so I wouldnt advise it, you can however, use Gullum's Quick Launcher with the GP editor for that, but only in THAT plugin, not for the others. I havent tested CLaunch yet. :/
---edited---
go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\
there you have a list for default programs, just go through them and you will find what you need
for example, for audio manager open key :MSPIMG and edit string named 1. Put HTCalbum.exe and it will become your default picture browser

[Q] tweaks/hacks for file explorer and contacts page?!

Hey guys..are there any tweaks/hacks for file explorer and contacts page which makes programs names and respectively contacts name to be shown fully..not just a part of them?i'm looking for this for long time..
I think, the only way is to turn your screen to landscape.
yep..i know this way but i'm just usual to browse the phone in portrait mode
Maybe, only if you find a way to decrease font size (names must be fit to screen, to see full name), but then you will get two new problems:
1. Vision problem
2. It will be difficult to use your finger to select an item.
hmmm..better a hack or a registry change then
About font size decreasing?
yeah......
It's not easy...
...maybe with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551611
doesn't work..it give me an error
What's the error said?
MagnifierSetup.exe
NullreferenceException
la Magnifiersetup.main..ctor()
la MagnifierSetup.Program.Main()
does it work for you?
I don't know why. I don't use it. I prefer auto-rotation.
i use auto-rotation apps too..but all of them rotates manila too..even if i put them in exception list..and if i wanna use manila/sense i need to close this program hmmm
Have you tried ChangeScreen?
yes..using it..but as i told u its messing up manila even if i put it as exception,and its kinda freezing the phone when i go to homescreen
Try a manual-rotation app.
Something like this:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-rotate-screen.html
thx but its no fun without g-sensor
still looking if there is a registry hack,cuz i want to be able to see full contacts name in portrait mode,and as for file explorer i'd like to get rid of date and maybe file size because i dont care about them..this way i will see the full app name
For your files you can use Resco Explorer. You have to deactivate "Show Treeview" and you will be able to see in full name more items than file explorer, but not all.
looks great,thx..and MUCH more complex than WM file explorer,thank you very much
as for contacts..i'll try to find a better contacts manager too,,maybe i will see full names too
