modifying Home Page in HTC Sense - HD2 General

Hi,
Is there a way to launch Pocket Informant instead of Calendar in the Home Page of the HTC sense?
Thanks
Daniel

Changing sense application links
It is possible, but you will have to familiarise yourself with the registry.
The HTC manila 2.5 calendar is one of the best features for me, so I will not be bothering to change it.

Xaddict: can you be more specific? I'd like to link the 'next alarm' message on the home screen to G-Alarm.
I found a couple of promising registry strings under HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/HTCService, but I don't know how to proceed from here.

I don't have problems with editing the registry. I have done it with the HD but I am not sure I can use the same keys for the HD2 as for the HD

I tested SSMaHo, which I remember from my previous device. It works. That might be a solution for you, Daniel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493810
Unfortunately, SSMaHo can't differentiate between a tap on the alarm symbol and a tap on the big clock. I want the alarm symbol to open G-alarm and the clock to open the default time settings; but if I make the alarm symbol point to G-alarm, the clock does the same...
Therefore I'm still curious about those registry settings.

How to disable 'Clock & Alarms' screen after clicking clock in HTC Home?

I occasionaly click on the big digital clock on the HTC home by accident, while aiming to click on the e-mail or sms icon. Clicking on the clock opens the 'Clock & Alarms' screen, which I hardly ever use.
Is there a way to disable the opening of 'Clock & Alarms' when clicking on the clock?

Have never seen this pop up on the forums.. sorry.
I've seen once around here somewhere in the Kaiser section someone was able to change a short cut on the home screen (one of the mail buttons), but that was it. If someone could find the reg key for that or whatever controls it youc ould probably disable that clock/alarms link somehow, but i wouldnt know where to start

Im looking for the same thing!
Me too
That would be a FANTASTIC this to be able to fix <BUMP>
clicking on clock by accident

Ho yes
mee too ...
I've searched for quite a while to find a solution.
I want to "remap" the click to open galarm for example.
But for now, I think there is no solution.
You can download Manilla 2D Customizer and then disable the alarm status and digital clock in Home tab. There will be no interaction when you press the analog clock in the home screen.
Oops, sorry. Wrong post. Thought that this is related with ROMs with Manilla 2D.
Is it something we could arrange with the SSMaPa soft ?
This soft proposes to replace "Clock clic" and "Alarm clic".... I am sure there is something to do here..
Has anybody already tried ?
Don't think you can change that.
I believe the function is associated with the display and setting of time in windows and not changeable via the interface (Manila 2D for instance).

Yes SSMaPa will do this. You can map the clock to any .exe including GAlarm, GProfile or any other program you wish.
Still does not stop you from accidentally pressing it though.
point it to a phoney exe
This guy seems to have found a solution. Will give it a try.

RESOLVED
Install Tweaks2k2.Net
Go to:
Tweaks> Security, No acces to change the time
Reset
Done!!
Thanks EZ. It works. I could not get ssmapa to work.
But it disables the windows time feature even from system. We dont change the time everyday so its good enough.

[REF] How to display weather on new Manilla Calendar day page

This should work on all Roms with the new manilla which has the new Calendar tab. When you select a day from within the first 5 days of today, you will see animated weather for that particular day.
Use a registry Editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/HTC/Manilla/WorldClock.LocalIndex
Change from 0 to a 1.
thnks, excelent...
Didn't worked on my HD with Davideuck v4. Soft reset after changing registry also doesn't make sense.

Well it worked as such and is displaying, however it is defaulting to Taiwan, I've deleted all locations from there leaving only London and soft reset but still the same? Any ideas?
ALL you have to do is make sure the city on your weather tab, matches the city in your World Clock page.... then the calendar weather will display. No fancy registry edits required.
That's strange alper1. I have the same Davideuck V4 rom and I didn't even have to soft reset. Works for me.
Try again. Report back please.

Sorry, I don´t get it? I would like to see the weather in inside Calendar too, but you are talking of "Worldclock".
Ok both of them start with the letter "W".
Seriosly, how can I see the WEATHER inside the calendar? I use in the moment the Extrem Energy Rom.
By the way, this entry I don´t have inside the reg: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/HTC/Manilla/WorldClock.LocalIndex"
Is it possible to get information about how to do it?
Thx

Currently using Duttys V2.6 which has this option. Used a number of Duttys Rhodium roms I believe most if not all have this option as do some other rhodium roms out there
that´s what i mean. The extrem rom doesn´t have this option. if I click on the clock it will restart the touchflo. so that means that I don´t have these option.

Maybe rom you are using doesn't have world clock. Rom I am using, you find world clock by clicking on the clock on home screen of TF3D.

Appointments on the Lockscreen

Hi
Are there any options to show more appointments on the lockscreen than ONE?
One event is a little bit less for a good overview.
Thanks for help.
Hi!
I don't know much about WM 6.5 default lock screen. But I use S2U2 and you can configure it to show several (I guess it's up to 7) appointments in its lock screen.
i mean the HTC Sence Lockscreen:

They know what you mean, which is why they suggested slide2unlock. It's a replacement for the WINDOWS lock screen (not HTC), that does what you ask.
Just to check whether anyone tested the Slide2Unlock application on WM.5 or HD2?
I try to do a search in this forum but it seems that only the old version is available and nobody is developing that application anymore.

Err, not true. The thread you want is in the Development & Hacking Forum. To download you need to access AC's website (the author) which is one of the download links within the relevant thread.

My friend told me that he saw some of the HTC Device using the WM6.5 have a better unlock screen than the HD2 or Leo which will show the Number of SMS and Missed Calls details on the lock screen instead of the numbering on the lock button.
Managed to find this program to replace the stock lock and unlock screen, you can display number of SMS, MMS, Emails or Missed Calls instead of the number beside the Lock Icon.

well, s2u2 is nice for XDA Herald, but not for the HD2.
The standard-lockscreen on the HD2 is much pretty nicer than the s2u2 for me.
are there no reg-hacks on xda-developers???
I totally agree with cms. The windows mobile lockscreen is excellent but it only shows one damn appointment! Surely this has got to be possible?

Yeah, I too like the standard lock screen, would be nice if it showed more appointments though.
Not keen on installing S2U2.
Would be amazing if someone modded the lock screen.
I installed S2U2 on my HD2 and agreed on most of the comments. The standard lock screen looks better but is too basic. The S2U2 has all the info I needed but I cannot get rid of the standard windows one so I ended up having 2 unlock screen now which is annoying. Does anyone know how to disable the standard one?

BSB Tweaks does that.
Or Settings>Security>block phone> untick block screen.
But in my opinion s2u2 is better, it shows the sms, mms, email, and tasks that original htc dont
regards
Just as a matter of interest, do you guys who say you don't like S2U2 know you can customise it by putting in your own wallpapers and/or gifs? You can even have the wallpaper change at regular intervals, giving you a fresh look whenever you wish.
So what you can do, if you wish, is to have a wallpaper that closely resembles the standard lock's wallpaper but sat in S2U2. You then get a better lock application with the look you are after.
WB
PS: If you knew all this but still like the standard item then ignore me.
I like the standard lock screen and would very much like more than 1 appt to be shown. I have tried S2u2 but i find it a bit bloated now, it is very capable and works but i just find it too big/bloated.
Is there a way we could tweak the MS lock screen?

Thanks. Interestingly I cannot find the block phone function under Security so I disable it through S2U2.
As it happens I was also fiddling with the latest version of S2U2 yesterday evening. Hadn't used it since I had my TP.
I'm running XannyTech's latest rom and when I use S2U2 as a replacement for the win6.5 lock, my Manila sliding tabs on the bottom slide behind the bottom bar where the softkeys are displayed on.
Anybody seen this before? I seem to remember that there was a little program to correct that but can't find it back.
Tried fiddling with S2U2' settings but disabling bottom and top bar did not help either.
if anybody knows how to correct that, would be great to hear.
ps: when uninstalling S2U2 and soft reset puts the manila sliding tabs back where they should be...
DicE
S2U2 is definitely the way to go if you want to configure the lockscreen to add more calendar entries. But I never got the hang of using the alert bubbles sitting in the bottom right corner of the screen as they were too hard to press with my thumb, one-handed.
I posted in the S2U2 thread about this but the suggestion there was to go back to the original WM lockscreen. Which I did.
I too prefer the standard Lock screen except would love it to show more Calendar items and perhaps Birthdays. The configure page is really limited but better this than someting too bloated for a lock screen.

Best alarm app integrated with sense

What would be the best alarm app which integrates with TF3D?
I understand that most of them handle the alarms by themselves, so if I set an alarms at 8:35 it will not change also the WM alarm and on the main sense page the alarm will be set to off
Try G-Alarm this will do what you want. Also see the patch by 12aon that uses the button on home screen for G alarm.
I tried g alaarm but it hangs my hd2 a lot.. not sure if I'm the only one having problem but I have to hardreset

Read a lot and pls tell me if the following is correct:
- I install G-Alarm
- I use the hack to remap the manila alarm box
- when setting an alarm in G-Alarm, G-Alarm will create a dummy WM alarm that will show up on the manila alarm box, instead of ALARM OFF
Please can you give me the link to the g-alarm-patch for redirect click on alarm-button in sense?
You have to disable g-sensor-settings in G-Alarm, otherwise G-Alarm will hang up your device (G-Alarm can´t use HD2 g-sensor).
You have to edit the registry because of the midnight-wake-up --> battery drain. Can´t give you the exact reg-keys, but it´s called like "midnightwakeup" or so...
The rest is as you explained...

HTC Calendar "lost"

I'm having trouble with the calendar. I've been using a custom ROM for a while now (OzROM), and I only just realised that I've only ever been seeing the Windows Mobile calendar. It was only when I installed the latest OzROM (3.40) that I happened to open the calendar before restoring my contact backups and usual apps.
I thought nothing of it, and went about setting up Cookie's Home Tab with my usual shortcuts etc. After doing this, I noticed that tapping on the calendar/appointments on the homescreen now did nothing at all, despite not changing the application settings in CHTEdit.
The calendar on the homescreen tabs at the bottom is unaffected by this and still shows the HTC calendar, however, I tend not to have that turned on.
I then used CHTEdit to try and restore the homescreen calendar/appointments to run the HTC calendar, but only the Windows one is selectable - restoring the default simply makes it not work again (nothing happens when tapping the calendar summary on the homescreen).
My question is: Does anyone know what exe the HTC calendar uses (if any), and where is it? If I can create a start menu shortcut to it, then I can select it as the calendar application in CHTEdit.
I want the nice black useable calendar back!

i had same but i fixed it.
Before it happened , i have made several changes :
i made mistake and used 2 differents BG4all cabs and the cab for showing 28days in calendar
i undid cabs and put the backup of the manila for agenda
and all was fixed
i can send the french manila file if you want it.
what I'd like to have is to use HTC Calendar in Today screen as I don't use Sense at all. is there any HTC Calendar ripoff? thanx for any info!
The HTC calendar is part of manila, so if you don't run Sense then you can't use it. You also lose it if you do run Sense but you turn the tab off.
AFAIK there's no way to run a manila tab that you have disabled.
Sorry mate.
that's quite a shame... HTC Calendar is great looking and much usefull than the WM Calendar... well, I can live with that
Thanx for the info anyway

I just ugraded my HD2 to the latest stock ROM from Tmobile and the appointment calendar is now better than the HTC calendar, and of course way better than the WM calendar in the previous ROM. I did not use any tweaks or cooked ROMs. I sync my outlook (Email, calendar, & contacts) with MS Exchanger server at work so I don't know it that has anything to do with the new & improved calendar look.
i don't know if it's still an actual issue, but with my HD2 (1.66 dutch rom) i managed to get the HTC Sense calendar just by selecting "default" in the applications menu for calendar.
I'm using CHT 1.8.5.1 now and i had the same problem, i selected the calendar icon in the program list to set a program for CHT calendar but i just found out that it's not needed at all. just press default and it should be ok
at least, with my HD2... i think it's important to switch on the calendar tab of HTC sense, so CHT can "find" this program as default application for calendar items on the homescreen.
i hope this works for all the people who have the same problem and don't like the ugly standard WM calendar.
regards from holland!
