Hi all,
In File Explorer (the built in one) there are three columns, name of file, date file was added and size of file. I don't need to know when files were added or realyl how big they are, but I would like to see the full file names if possible, can I get rid of the two columns I don't want??

You can't. Why not switch to an alternate solution like Resco File Explorer or Total Commander? The former supports this functionality (View / Show Columns); dunno if the latter does it too (but it's certainly better than the built-in FE)
aww thats a shame, I was hoping I'd missed an options panel somewhere or at least a reg hack I could use. I hate installing new apps to replace existing ones....
Thanks anyway

You could change the view from portrait to landscape. This allows you to view more of the file names. To allow you to do this quickly map 'rotate screen' to one of the buttons.
You could probably hack this in - I did something similar with VJSmallIcons II.
But as noted supra, use GSFinder or Resco or Total Commander. File Explorer is massively limited compared with these alternatives.

Is it possible at all to do this?
Would be really nice
you have to change it in the registry.
some one on here will be able to tell you what bits to change.
i cant as mine is set to something else and you have to
set the right path and mine will be differant to what you want.

I can do better than that. I can point you to the cab I made of the relevant changes so all you need to do is install this one file!
Great job, but do tell if the video call button would come back or not if I uninstall the Cab file.
If not how can we bring it back if and when I want to
This freeware program is a great alternative. Includes a reset to default command.

i got a kinda similiar problem..except i wanna change my left soft key which now says TODAY SCREEN to watever da the default was..i think it was PHONE on my tf3d home screen..the reason it says TODAY SCREEN was after i uninstalled the phone alarm cab i was left wit dat..now i cant figure out how to change it back..i tried da fantasticbytes softkey manager didnt change anything..so if anyone can help or point me to right link link..really appreciate it..thanx
Can someone give me the registry path, so I can choose witch programma I like to map?
I have the new 2.03 ROM installed but want to change the dailer softkeys.
Thanks
You would have to find out a way to edit the DLL from post #4.
Unlike the softkeys from the homescreen the softkey on the dialer work totally different.
I didn't realise we were talking about the dialer when I posted above!
You can change the Left Softkey to the default contacts application (iContact BE on my phone) by setting the following registry DWORD to 1:
HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\LSKContact
Cab file attached (my first ever)
Also, you can drop this file in your Windows dir. Just overwrite the original with Total Commander or Resco.

What does this DLL do?
Now I have standard Windows Contacts or Pocket Informant, but I want iContact set as default contact button. This because in the phonepad I can't switch to second phone number when using smartdail...

That registry key is allready set to 1, but I can't get iContact to start...
What does your cab file do?

It just sets that one registry value, changing the left soft key of the dialer to "Contacts".
This launches the default contacts application - normally pOutlook but it should be iContact if you have installed it.
I installed the new iContact 0.9 and now it is default contact manager
Thanks

I need to edit the reg for the default clock so that when I tap on the clock panel it opens \program files\Chronos\chronos.exe
instead of opening the default system clock page.
I can't figure out how to do this...
thanks.

Change the link with CHome Editor.
I tried, there is nothing to edit in there that I can find that changes anything.

You are right, i tried also to create a new action url in the registry but it wont work....looks like hardwired as all standard titanium plugins.
Does that mean you have to edit the cpr file or something? I've never done that and don't think I know how or have to tools to do so...

To edit the cpr file you need only a Notepad text editor. But it is not that easy. In the cpr there are only specified layouts, fonts, colors, images, anything visual.
I guess the action url paths for the standard titanium panels are in the bronzeres.dll, but to edit it you need special tools to hack the resources. That is not at all easy, i would not touch that if you have not at least basic programming skills.
I would say I have basic programming skills. (VBA in Word and Outlook) Would I need some kind of program code editor, or is it something I could modify with notepad, or this XML notepad I just installed? I'd really like to get it to refer to my Chronos app instead of the default clock app.
thanks.

No it is no text file like the cpr or xml files, and therefore it cannot be edited with notepad. I am not sure what tools you have to use to modify dll files.

looks like this is correct as i set my right softkey to g-alarm and this also changed the action when selecting the clock. Checked out this reg key and its linked to g-alarm so prob correct. Finally the answer for you.
yes lioryte is correct, that is how I got it to associate with Samsung clock lol.
Opening Chronos via tap of the clock panel:
...well, Chronos.exe is located in Program Files/Chronos/Chronos.exe
None of these work for MSClock/1:
Chronos.exe
Program Files/Chronos/Chronos.exe
/Program Files/Chrono/Chronos.exe
They give me the messege, "The file Chronos cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or ..."
If I move the executable Chronos.exe from Program Files into Windows, it does open up Chronos, but this sounds like it would cause other problems with the program???
Is there some other value I could asign to MSClock/1 to lead to /Program Files/Chronos/Chronos.exe?
Is it alright to just move that .exe???
try just making a shortcut to the .exe in windows and then put chronos.lnk in the reg..
Oh, I tried that too...
Using total commander, I create a shortcut 'chrono.lnk' in the window dir that pointed to \program files\chronos\chronos.exe, and set it for the value of MSClock/1, but it too would give me an error.
AH, I got it!
use quotes.
"\Program Files/Chronos/...
include the quotes in the value
More specifically:
"\Windows\ChronosStartup.exe" alarms
"\Windows\ChronosStartup.exe" Timers
...these work for right soft key, & MSClock
Is there any way to make the font size smaller in email?
When I type a message, I'm lucky if I can get 3 or 4 words to a line as the font is huge!
you can change the minimum text size in the settings tab on your device try that.

Its only for received emails...
Go to the settings tab, select Menu, All Settings, System, Screen and the Text Size tab. Changing the text size with the slider there affects input and output for emails.
Edit: Actually, I've just checked and they're the same thing. If that doesn't work, you may have a problem that can't be fixed with regular UI settings.
Surely there must be a registry hack or something for this?
I can't understand why they need the font to be so big.
i heard pinch to zoom works with text. try zooming out

You heard wrong! Afraid it doesn't work
Its really odd - if I reply to a message, the old message below what I'm typing is a normal sized font - but anything I type is JUMBO!
Similar situation in SMS too - the old messages are a decent size, but what I type is huge!
I also think that font in some apps is way too big. For instance in Pocket Outlook, Calendar etc., even in Opera Mobile. I have all settings set to smallest font but it is still too big. Is there a way how to make it smaller - may be some settings in registry? It is useless to have such a big screen but to see the same number of letters as on much smaller screen.
First off, y'all need to CHILL!!
Describe your problem in more detail:
1. Has the font always been *JUMBO* sized (i.e. since you ever first got it) ?
2. Did you use any tool to change your device's font size?
* Note: there are various utilities out there that can be used to change the system font properties to ANYthing you want. Some programs you might've installed change system font properties as part of their operation.... so, backtrack, and if necessary use Total Commander to find "\windows\*.ttf" then delete all files found, then restart your phone; this will restore fonts to their original states.
Cheers
In my case, this simple setting works. Open an email message, go to menu in lower left, view, text size. I use the smallest font size, which is readable and I get 24 lines of text on screen.
Yes, settings as well as multi touch zoom are working for me too but I still would like to have much smaller font. The question is if there is a way how to enable smaller fonts with registry settings or tweak app?
Easy:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox]
"RichEditHostFontSize"="10"
You can shrink the font for replying down to 2 nano meter.
I would like to shrink the font for reading, but the registry doesn't seem to remember the setting after a softreset.
I am trying here: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox] & [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
Maybe anyone has an idea here...
how can i change the font size to bigger for writing sms?
Changing the "text size" on the "menu" chnages the text size of received messages only on my device.

Hi
I had this problem with my recent rom.
Go to the post where you download rom and probably you have news from your sms write problem.
Hope help your problem
Best Regards
sorry, but i do not quite understand what you mean. which post?
I thought I would bump your question. I too would like the text that you are writing to be bigger. I am using swype and there is no double tap on the small text to correct it. The email text is much larger and the double tap works.
So I figured if your sms text size would be bigger than the doubletap would work to highlight and correct using swype.
i posted this question on several forums already and have never got a satisfactory answer.
it seems impossible.
What about SPB Mobile Shell 3.5? Is it maybe possible to make fonts bigger in it?
I did a quick browse through the registry and tried a few modifications but came up empty. There has to be something in the registry that sets the size of that font.
disable htc sense then you have to edit messagingclientdll.dll.409(or your language code).mui under windows folder. first unsign it, then open with resource hacker, check keys 51,52 and 53 where you will see font names and sizes. increase the sizes, sign the file with a developer certificate, install sdkcerts.cab, replace the mui file. restart htc sense, you're all set.

A lot of people are looking for that so it would be great if someone could edit this files and share them with us!!
Thank you!
try settings, in the settings menu go to "screen" and in there a tab at the bottom says text size, trying changing that to bigger and see if that helps??
@Subsx:
Thanks, but it only changes the font size for received message, not those you want to send. As though you do not need a better readability for what you write....very strange.
They probably think: you either read or you write. Consequently, If you write you do not read it anyway... so you do not need a better "readability"
have you reset the phone afterwards??
@Subsx:
I had this setting put to "largest" from the day i bought the phone some months ago and have resetted it at least 100 times since then.
does this setting change the font for writing on you phone? if so: which firmware do you have?
i have 1.66.405.2 WWE
@Subsx:
This is not working, especially not in the traditional mode. This is old.
The interesting thing is this:

Goal is to increase font size of writing and/or reading SMS.
I, too, have been trying to change the font size for the text when composing an sms. I'm really puzzled how the HTC engineer/managers can release such a major software and not realize that the font size is very small, esp for such a huge screen.
Is there any other sms application that one can buy / retrieve from anywhere that has bigger font size?
Thanks in advance.
I think I will go for the easier and quicker method.
I am going to hold my HD2 nearer to my face when I type messages. The text gets larger automatically if I do that.
Can anybody help here to get that finally fixed please!

won't work for me, tried it with a 407 (german) dll, there are other keys to change, however set all font sizes from 8 to 12 and certificate it, after replacing and restarting sense the sizes are the same as before.
any further hints?
cheers,
So no one managed to to this yet?!
