Hey all,
So I'm using GSPlayer and I'm trying to move tracks around on the playlist like I used to on my T-Mobile MDA ( HTC Wizard ). Problem is, when I select and drag a track, SmartTouch is just scrolling the list of tracks like I was moving the scroll bar, not moving the selected track up and down.
Is there any way to disable SmartTouch for specific applications? I'd like to keep it active on all my other applications, just not GSPlayer.
Thanks

Hi
Does anybody know of an app to add the 'New' Menu functionality to WM05.
In 2003 and 2003SE you could tap on the word 'New' in the bottom left of the today screen and a menu would appear allowing you to select a new appointment, task etc.
Or if not a way of using the standard voice control app included with the O2 exec to start a new appointment/task in Pocket Informant.
I have tried selecting new appointment/Task from the list of apps and functions in the voice control screen but this only starts Pocket Informant in the relevent view but does not create a new appointment/task to start entering info into.
TIA.

Anybody !!
Somebody else must miss the functionality?

i do... but i don't know how to get it back i'm afraid... unfortunately it seems no one else misses it... i posted something like this a while ago, which raised no responses
You can do it with a WisbarAdvance plugin: WisbarDesktop.
You can assign a button (like a shortcut on the desktop) to do that.
Or Spb Pocket Plus.
After you installed it, there is a folder in the startmenu/programs where you can find a lot of shortcuts like [newcontact], [newappointment]...
After this you just need one launcher program.
Tried Spb Pocket Plus.
This just does the same as voice controller when selecting new appointment or task it starts Pocket Informant on the relevent view but does not actually open a new appointment or task.
So it looks like this might be an issue with Pocket Informant.

Guys, I've posted here about how to create new PIM items, eg on a softkey (and using my VJPhoneTools for new sms/email etc).
I'll have a much better solution at some point in the future too
Use smallmenu and you can have a startmenu > subfolder to do this quite easily.

Can I make the size of the items on the today screen (i.e. messages, device lock) any bigger? I use my Wizzard as my phone and don't use the stylus for texts and calls, and I've got big fat thumbs
Any help would be much appreciated!
you can't change the defaults one. you may try your luck on using larger fonts, but most Today stuff don't respond to fonts settings.
Anyway, for thumb usage, you can try using cLaunch (available in this forum, with tutorials) to launch applications. The max size is around 32x32, good enough for most people. However, it is an app launcher, hence you may still need those plugins for display purposes. It doesn't come with a lock function, but there are fellow members whom had it launch some of the lockers developed here.
thanks for that. I get the general idea of what you suggest, but I'm new to PPCs. I'll get reading!!
You can also try mapping your most used applications to your hardkeys by going to settings --> personal --> buttons.
Text messaging already has it own, and you can search the wizard forum for an applicatin called DeviceLock which allows you to assign locking your device to a hardware button.
For the dialer, you may want to look at ETen Dialer's Smart Dial --> it makes the buttons on the phone app a lot bigger so thumbs can be used. You can do a google search and it should come up quite easily.
Hope that helps!
or you can try to find a different theme that has larger text and icons.
I too, have big thumbs and find it frustrating to try to tap tiny icons.
My solution is to use plugins that can be scrolled and selected using the Dpad this also keeps the screen free of fingerprints.
My current favourites for one thumb operation are
Smartskey for press&hold softkeys for startmenu and close programs.
TodayAgenda v0.9.50 for tasks, appointments and clock/alarm settings.
PHM Traylaunch and Batterystatus for specific shortcuts in the tray.
and other stuff...
I would like to use S2P as my default media player - that is, in HTC home when i click the Media button i'd like it to load S2P instead of Windows Media Player. Advanced configuration does not have S2P in the menu so i can't change it there.
Also, i'm using Thumbcal and would like to use it as my default calendar when clicking the calendar appointments in the today screen.
if anyone knows how to switch these using registry modification or any other way i'd appreciate it greatly.
thank you.
i found that autoration in my hd mini is off by default..
in the music tab i can get all the options if i can t use it in landscape!
after hours of research i found in the registry that the key "fullscreenmode" (or something like) is OFF by default.
trying to enabling this manually (by adding some other registry key for the g-sensor) causes problems: i don't know the audiomanager class name so i can't configure correctly
i got the latest ORIGINAL ROM.
What to do?
AND after that a question... is the manila music player usable with a big library?
In portrait mode, opening "catalogue" i found NO WAY to listen an entire album !!
thx
Hi there,
unfortunatelly the Sense (Manila?) Music-Player isn't very functional - I would say it's almost unusable because of the following restrictions:
- There is no search-function.
- You can't even fastscroll through tracks if you search for a special track because you can't drag the tiny slider which is on the right side. Even my old N97 mini let me fastscroll through my music-library (the N97 also showed the letters while dragging the fastscroll-slider). As I know - the HD 2 has this slider - but only in landscape-mode which isn't available on the HD Mini.
- After selecting and playing a track from the library (in which you have to manually select which can be a pain if the track begins with "Z" and you have over 2000 tracks - due to the lack of a fastscroll / search option) you have to manually select further tracks again because after returning from the Music-Player to the library - the library shows the first track in the alphabet and not the last played.
- Shuffle mode isn't saved - after turning off and turning on the phone you have to manually disable shuffle and enable it (the shuffle icon is there but shuffle isn't enabled) to get it working again.
- Sometimes (6-8 min after the screen went black) the player interrupts playback 3-5 sec and continues after this time. I think this has something to do with the energy-saving methods of the HD mini. This behaviour occurs only once after the screen has gone off - when you unlock the phone to select another track for example the behaviour re-occurs again after the screen has gone off.
Greetings
Timo
thx for the fast reply
i think the method of use of the cover flow is to browse and play an album or a track, or play shuffle the whole library.
So for me doesn't matter the search function...
but.. why i can't get it to work in landscape mode?!
is there to make a panel for my dash 3g for kinoma media player or use the shortcut key

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can try CHome editor for making the panel for it. Try your softkey shortcut config it may have the option for Kinoma. If not then another way would be to download and install SmartToolKit RC08. Don't bother with any of the other STK cabs because they're extremely unstable, especially RC09. With smart tool kit comes a full vista-like menu that is a lot easier than the normal dash 3g functions because it puts it on the homescreen and works identical to a PC start menu. Meaning it if you click the start softkey it overrides the normal function allowing for the STK menu to appear and disappear. A lot of folks cringe at the idea of using it since RC09 was so buggy, but it actually works really well for me (especially since I'm so lazy)...lol.
