In the start menu are several links to programs. I am trying to determine if some of them are needed in start menu?
aflashman.lnk
cflashman.lnk
Are these programs to permanently write contacts to/from rom?
If so do we need this in startmenu or could we do this from the program directly when needed?
Handsfree.lnk
Does tis have something to do with using a car kit?
If so do we need this in startmenu or is it only needed there if we install the car kit?
Yes these are to flash to ROM at cold boot(softreset).
a for agenda flashes your calander.
c for contact flashes your contacts.
If you uncheck this option under settings perm save they will no longer be in your startup folder. Likewise deleting them from the folder is same as unchecking them. They need to be in this folder if you want this info flashed to ROM for safe keeping.
Handsfree link simple runs the program that lets you use speaker phone on the device while a call is in progress pressing and holding the green phone key will switch your phone to speaker phone mode, but you probably already knew this
Hope this answers your questions.

That is very helpful info. Thank you. Since I don't really flash contacts/calender to ROM (keep them on SD card), I guess I could uncheck aflashman.lnk & cflashman.lnk option and just re-check if I decided to use them?
As for Handsfree.lnk, I didn't know this was for speakerphone. Is there a way to set speakerphone to always be on when I am in the car, so that every call I make or receive will be on speakerphone?

How about ChgDfLnk.lnk.
What is this and do I need it in startup?

Just to be correct: handsfree.lnk is not for using, but for giving visual notification that handsfree is ON.
Holding green button during conversation works without this program. So you may delete it
As for "speakerphone is always on" No, you may not turn it on "forever".
There is a trick though and you may find it here:

In the power settings on the WM side, I can set to "Turn off device if not used for x minutes". When the device turns off, how do you turn it back on?
The only thing that I have been able to figure out, is to use the Shift Control on Vista side to Reset SnapVUE. Am I missing something?
I am running ThaiHugos snapvue+gps rom.
i believe it's auto...
i believe that when you press the button to go to the snapview side it gets swiched on automatically...

That is the first thing that I tried. And the screen remains black. I also tried to press the button to go to the snapview side, and then slide the power button (the same as bringing Vista out of sleep). No go.
Did you try pressing it twice? When the screen powers off, pressing the "Shift" button will shift the device to Vista but the screen will be blank if Vista is not running. Pressing it again shifts it back to SnapVue and the screen should come back again.
At least that is what happens with the stock rom!

Go to settings -->connections-->USB to PC and check "enable advanced network functionality" for some reason this causes problems with resuming.

Thanks! Works again. But it is a bummer as I cannot use USBTool when this is unchecked.
If someone would make new version of usb-tool that unchecks that setting if it is registrysetting and maybe sets "turn of device if not used" to "never" when usbtool is in use. When querying usbtool to close it would undo those changes. This would not be hard to do after all?

In that case, do let us know when you've done it.

I have done launcer that first sets Enable advanced network functionality unchecked via registry and then launches USBTool. After USBTool Exits my launcher sets Enable advanced network functionality to checked state. I did`nt find this registrykey for device turning off yet. I had to do own launcher because I did`nt know where to get sources for USBTool.
I didn`t find correct settings for that "turn off device if not used"-setting so I just made Power-settings to appear Before and after USBTool is executed so I can check and uncheck it easily when I want to use USBTool. Now it works everytime.

How did you make it appear before and after?

Removed the tool for a while..
I withdraw my sarcastic message telling you to make the tool yourself!
This has still one problem.. After rebooting WM side you have to manually go check and uncheck USB to PC setting and after that this works.. Sorry about it
EDIT: It is someway related how the USB-drivers are loaded? After those are once loaded you can switch between them or something, I don`t really know.. But something like this would be nice to get to the next generation of USBTool.
To get this "USB to PC" functionality work there is few registry settings that is changed. First of all there is driver setting that set is the RNDIS or Serial_Class used. Changing this checks and unchecks USB to PC checkbox. This can be found at:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers
There is DefaultClientDriver what changes between RNDIS and Serial_Class.
Other settings are found at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\ + some number. For USB Driver-settings they change between 50-135(on my machine.. I don`t know about others). For example settings could be found at:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\120
If you have unchecked "USB to PC" setting, you should have values:
Code:
BusName: USBFN_1_0, REG_SZ
BusParent: 5543120, REG_DWORD
Hnd: 5544944, REG_DWORD
Key: \Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\Serial_Class, REG_SZ
Name: COM8: , REG_SZ
For me those BusParent and Hnd settings are something that I don`t understand. Those values varies each time you check and uncheck USB to PC CheckBox. If this could be found out after that you could start rnaap.exe and rapiclnt.exe with correct parameters and after that USBTool should connect right away. So does anyone know how to know what should be used for BusParent and Hnd values. If those are wrong I get error when connecting to "`USB".
Easier solution would be to just show user this USB to PC -window for first place but it has some bug that it closes at the same second when opened with cplmain.cpl, 28 command.

Only sarcastic thing is that I shared cab which did not do the job actually. It worked for me 15 times but after that I was in trouble again.. but after all device turning off-settings worked fine.
Tried also with IOCTL_UFN_ENUMERATE_AVAILABLE_CLIENTS and IOCTL_UFN_GET_CURRENT_CLIENT. But available clients returns only current client so this was a dead-end too.. I have to give up.
Just a quick question, does the stock ROM have power off after X enabled?
I have disabed power off and have no probems now with any change in battery life (using thaihugo's myself) and just shutdown the screen with the screen switch button. Always comes up then and have no data disconnects.
Just wondered if this should be the norm as never looked at the default setting on the stock ROM.
Hey all, i have two questions.
Question 1:
Is there an option to enable double clicking? I mean, when i click on a .cab file it immidiatly opens file, same thing when i want to select a image file. This is quite annoying, so i was wondering if there's an option to enable double click, so i have to double click on files before they open.
Question 2:
Also another thing, i've enabled bluetooth on my device. When i goto "Pictures and Videos" and select a picture i want to be able to send this with bluetooth. But for some reason this option isn't availibe there? All the options i see are:
MMS (SMS/MMS)
VoiceMail (SMS/MMS)
E-mail
Where's the bluetooth option!?

Not sure what file explorer you are using, but mine has the option to go into Menu/Tools/Options/Controls and then the option to turn on Double Tap Activation

I'm not sure either
I goto Start > Programs > File explorer, i use the default explorer. When i click on Menu in the bottom right of the screen then i don't see any option called "Tools". Do i need to update my ROM version or something? Or is the option somewhere else..?

That explorer is useless. Try 2 attached. Both are free
Thanks, i'll try them out ^^
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!!!

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!
-SY
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
