I have found the tip to access Navipanel without the dock. A couple of questions:
It seems that Navipanel can only be used in landscape mode - is this right because I tend to have my phone docked in portrait mode?
How do I exit Navipanel once I have finished with it?
Thanks,
James
How did you open Navipanel, i don't seem to find it in the Windows folder.
By following the instructions in the hints and tips - see the sticky at the top of the forum.
6. Enable NaviPanel Without Owning the Car Kit/Navigation Dock
Go to Windows folder and copy NaviPanel.exe as a shortcut to Windows\Start Menu folder.

I don't have the navipanel.exe in the windows folder so I cannot copy it anywhere.

You must use Resco Explorer (AND switch off in setting of resco "Hide hidden files", Hide files in Rom") !
I just wanted to post that RescoExplorer doesn't show hidden files by default. I found it with total commander and then thought it might be an option like that in Resco.
Thanks guys.
Any thoughts on the original questions ?
1. Couldn't swear to it, but I think I remember seeing pictures or video of the panel in both landscape and portrait orientations
2. Press the Home key - the panel doesn't appear to stay resident in memory - haven't checked this with Memmaid or anything yet, but it certainly doesn't appear in Task Manager (Dutty's version)
A far bigger pain is that all of the links seem hard coded to a Co-Pilot install on the device, as opposed to one on the SD Card - iyt would be nice to be able to customise it!

Hi Gustopher - Thanks. It seems Navipanel starts in landscape and then if it feels like it rotates to portrait. This only seems to happen occassionally which is very frustrating because the most common case it that it is stuck in landscape mode. Does anyone know of a way of starting Navipanel in portrait mode?
To be honest all I want to achieve is to switch the phone to a mode where when I answer calls they automatically go to speaker phone and ideally for screen lock to be switched off. This must be a common use case for people who have their phone docked in a car. Anyone know of how this can be achieved using something other than Navipanel?
Many thanks,
James
Well, the Navipanel is supposed to be used in landscape mode in conjunction with an official dock in the first place.
double post.

On my phone navipanel is switching automatically when i rotate phone.
There is just a 6-7 sec. delay when switching landscape to portrait and 1-2 sec in oposite direction.
Just on another note - navipanel won't start on my HD2 no matter what i try - does anyone else have this problem? Also, what does it do!
it just loads up a half screen
hi
can we link Navipanels shortcuts to different navigation software?igo 8 maybe?and i would like to do the same with footprints.i don't like Copilot.
thx
I had the same problem so I wrote a little app for it.
Just copy it to your CoPilot folder and put the path to your Navi Software in the config.ini.
With igo8 I had the problem that it couldn't find its database when you start it this way so I had to create a link to igo8.exe and call this link instead.
You can get the app here:

Hi,
i know everyone seems to use TCPMP but i like using Windows Media Player 10, i have been trying for a very long time to change the skin to a realy nice one but i havn't found a way to do it, not even the windows site explanes how to do it, they just say download them.
If anyone managed it then could they reply with where the files are in memory and what is the name of the skin so i can try the same.
Thanks in advance and i know a few people have been looking for an anwser
I have tryed for ages to change the skin in media player but there is no way ive found.
i did notice that there is a *192.bmp file in the windows directory (windows\) that if you open looks just like the default skin. if i rename the default(portrait).skn file in the \Program files\media player\ folder then media player wont start in portrait mode so its definutly pulling the skin from there but all the different ways i put the skin files i have it just wont work, not even if i rename then the default(portrait) will it work.
Has anyone got this to work?
Well, I think a couple of Juni's skin suites have a WMP skin (Navigator certainly does). So someone must've used them, and I assume there are instructions on how to change them included with the suite.
Have a look over at the SBSH Software forum - in the "Pocketbreeze Resources" area, or at the Lakeridge Software Forum - in the "Wisbar 2.x Skins" area. I know I've seen threads about WMP skinning in one of those two forums.
Simple, I think you should just find a *.skn file and put it in the \Program Files\Windows Media Player. Then using the WMP to search for a new skin as clicking the button in WMP.
Then you will have a simple browse of your skn there, and choose them. They will be Ready for you.
Enjoy~!
Cheers

i downloaded this for wmp10; the skin transforms your player to look like an ipod. quite simple but i like it because the buttons are spaced in such a way that you don't depress 2 at a time (when using your finger). can't remember where i got it though. as my unit is connected to my car stereo; when driving the layout makes pressing the keys a lot easier as compared to the default skin.
what i did was; unzip the files and placed them in a folder i named "ipod". using file explorer; go to: my device->program files->windows media player. paste the folder. go to wmp10; menu->options->skins. give it a few seconds as it's searching for skins. the ipod skin should then appear.
the downside: when using this skin you cannot view videos. the sound will be heard but the screen of the ipod will not change. you will have to revert back to the default wmp10 player skins (the blue one). also; even if the ipdo skins is being used; switching to landscape mode will automatically change the ipod skin to the wmp10 default blue skin.
hope that helps.
cheers
rob
Thanks very much Robson, but i have already tied that method and but media player searches for a skin for about 3 seconds and then only gives me the opion of the defaulf skin, i guess if it works with your fine then it must be an error on mine, even after a hard reset this does not work, i have also tried this method on my M2000 (WM2003se) and it doesn't work either
I hope we can solve this
I will keep trying
Hi to all,
Robson, can you let as know where did you got the i-pod archive? Let as know more ways to make that way easy. Thank you in advance.
interesting how the player doesn't recognize the new skins in the library. after waiting for 3 seconds, i take you did try to press on the left or right directional buttons (to go to the next skin option). oh well, sorry to hear that. i'm attaching a snapshot of the website i got the ipod skin from. as you can see there are other wmp skins to choose from. as i mentioned; i opted for the ipod skin because the spacing of the buttons is far enough to allow me to use my finger when i want to pause, stop or skip tracks. the website is
http://browse.deviantart.com/skins/media/wmp/wmpppc/
FYI; do NOT use this skin:
http://www.freewareppc.com/misc/upodsilverwindowsmediaplayerskin.shtml
buddy of mine complained that it caused his ppc to hang thus resulting in a hard reset. go for the first link above 8)
hope that helps
Thanks a lot for the site. :wink:
it seems that these skins works for the wizard only, because when i saved them on my kjam they worked just fine, but on my jasjar it didn't recognize them at all, it gave me only the default skin, even if i innitiate it portrait or landscape.
thanks for the post though, i'm happy with them on my kjam now.
cheers.
Robson,
thanks for your replys, yes i did try and click left and right but they are both greyed out, i guess these are only for the wizard then, NONEED, have you actualy managed to get the ipod skin to appear on your jasjar? if you could send a screen shot just so that i know that im not wasting my time when i try to get this working
Thanks for your time
Hi, im just trying to keep this post alive because im sure alot of you would also like to have this option, i still havnt found a solution, in the registry it does show that you can change the skin to another one but when i do WMP10 just hangs.
There MUST be a way, im going to take the ultimute useless route to try and sort this out now, im going to call..........wait for it..........Orange Tech department!!!!!!, i am sure they wont even have a clue what im talking about but its the last route left to me

Please try the attach file, I believe you'll find that it works. The problem is that the VGA screen of the Universal is 4 times as big as the screen on a normal Pocket PC so every thing needs to be doubled. This will not of course work on a normal QVGA PocketPC.

I have been to countless sites/forums/tech site to try and sort this out, i have to take my hat off to you and thank you yet again, you are a STAR!!, as you can tell-im exited, the skin is perfect!

Is there any programs that will let me turn Bluetooth & WiFi on/off directly from the today screen?

Create a link (.lnk) to the .exe. Put all the arguments you need in it. Use the link with pocketPlus.
How do I create a link/shortcut on the PPC though, I have no option in the context menus?

Start > Programs > File Explorer
tap&hold on the ap, choose "Copy"
tap&hold in an empty area, choose "Paste Shortcut"
I recommend using Total Commander instead. It has a built-in simple text editor, which makes it easier to edit that shortcut than opening it up in Pocket Word and whatnot.
And for very specialist markets, where an app that won't let you use shortcuts at all, try VJBrisk.

Sorted, got it working now. Thanks chaps.
Just on the look out for some Bluetooth icons to show on or off. Also, any progress on getting the wifi to work without have to enable it first via comm manager?

I do not know how to do that, but I managed to map hardware button to slide.exe. To do that you have to create a link to it (for example to programs folder). Then you can map this link via Settings >> Buttons. Only issue I am having is that the time is lagging two hours on Slider screen.

Just a guess - I don't have the application installed and haven't had that program but your phone has to clock settings Home -> Visting. Maybe your phone is accidentally set to Visiting clock and the home clock is off by a bit and the applications are pulling the time from the Home clock? It's a shot in the dark guess but worth a shot!

Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing that i checked when i noticed the problem
Clock Off
Best guess I can give is that the time isn't being adjusted for time zone. Mine is 5 hours ahead and I am in US Central time zone (GMT -6) so it is close to Greenwich mean time.
I would try to fix this myself since the source is provided but I need a developers kit and a compiler...
Edited:
Actually if I remember correctly (big IF) daylight savings time is a US thing so with DST right now that would put the offset right at GMT.
anybody figure out how to fix the timing issue
This is not a program, but just registry settings to use the built-in biotouch.exe to call Manila Control in order to toggle between M2D and Today.
Notes:
must install Manila Control to \Windows\ before the attached .cab
the cube no longer works after installing this, but the corresponding processes (i.e. QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and APLauncher.exe.exe) may still in your memory unless you replace the .exe by dummy programs or kill the processes.
must backup the original [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] before installing the attached cube, otherwise won't be able to restore the cube.
toggling M2D/Today using softkeys as shown in the demo video is NOT set by the attached .cab

Is it possible to use this on HTC Touch (Elf)?
And also I would like to change running program from ManilaControl to any other, for example CommManager.
I've installed reg settings from the Vogue cab (is it right?), and copied original Biotouch.exe and dummy APLauncher.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and QuickDial.exe to the windows dir, created shortcut for biotouch.exe in the windows/startup folder and Soft-reseted my device.
Now when I make touch gesture the screen appears into black and nothing happens.
Is it possible using registry settings to bind touch gesture to run any exe (for example, commmanager.exe)?
Thank you for answers!

sorry i really can't answer your question because i haven't played around with a Jade before and I don't have any friends who have bought one. the main prob is, i don't know the version no. of biotouch shipped with Jade.
if you really want a try,
do a full backup (so that you can hard reset + restore in worst case)
backup/export the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch] registry subtree
try the Polaris version
good luck

basically yes. the trick is in the "App1" reg key. if the app being called has a visible window and you want to use the swipe-down gesture to hide it (like the original cube), the first part of the key value must be the right class name. otherwise, like the case for Manila Control, simply use a non-exist class name.
I've duplicated my commanager.exe and mui files and renamed them to biotouch.exe and biotouch.exe.mui, so now after the touch gesture commanager is running. It works!
Here is the test cab file, i haven't tested it on a clean device, but it seems to be work. If it doesn't working, post here please.

though not totally take if off, but editing the registry keys as below can minimize its appearance:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]

"UpFPS"=dword:0000FFFF
if you want to further cut down the size of the snoopy image that may appear for a short time, you can also change the below key:
(for Nike and Polaris) "Path1"="mc01.brn"
(for Vogue) "Path1"="\Windows\mc01.brn"
Is it possible to call manilla from any program with this gesture fix?
I mean the way I call and close cube by just scrolling tumb up or down.
Dear developers,
I have a big issue with Rhodium, apparently without solution (as I see in the forum many others have it): if I use any G-Sensor application to rotate the screen to landscape based on the internal G-Sensor, some windows/applications still show in portrait. One example is the Dialer, that cannot be "kept" into landscape just by keeping the phone in lanscape position.
I've searched the registry and found an interesting key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Keypad\IsSlideOut - value is 1 if the phisical keyboard is open and this triggers the entire Windows and Manila to rotate "for good" in landscape - no more annoying bugs and unattended rotations back to portrait.
If i rotate the phone to landscape and set the key value to 1 in registry WITHOUT sliding out the keyboard, the phone STAYS in landscape, even if it is rotated back to portrait, no matter what application is opened (in fact the phone thinks the keyboard is out and disables the G-sensor).
So, my request is for an app (exe to be assigned to long press send key) that triggers first a rotation to landscape and then changes the key in registry to 1, if the phone is in portrait; if the phone is in landscape, the app should modify the key to 0 and rotate the screen in portrait.
Is it possible to do it? How difficult it would be?
Sorry for the long post and the "non-technical" language.
Many thanks,
Radu
Solution is simple - MortScript
Dear all,
A friend has gave me the simplest possible solution: Mort Script.
For the ones that need it, here it is:
screenrotation = RegRead("HKLM", "\System\GDI\Rotation", "Angle")
if (screenrotation = 0)
Rotate (270)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Keypad", "IsSlideOut", 1 )
elseif (screenrotation = 270)
Rotate (0)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Keypad", "IsSlideOut", 0 )
else
Message ("Not a standard rotation!")
endif
Be sure to have the following value in registry before using the script:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor]
"KBDSlideOut_To_Stop_GSensor"=dword:00000001
Dear moderators, please close this thread, as I don't know how to do it.
Regards,
Radu

Hi,
Thanks for info, but I have done it since the beginning. It's working very well, but there are some bugs, like the dialer program: if in landscape I press the Send key, I have a 1 sec delay before the screen autorotates to portrait and than the dialer shows in portrait.
The only solution suitable for my needs seems so far the MortScript.

It's totally awesome.
Great hack man.
Finally my problem was solved.
It's the only perfect and complete solution 4 rotating TP2 screen.
I had a post asking 4 solution like that but no one answered me.
Moderators should make it STICKY and should be added to the TP2 hack section
Thanks.
Glad I could help

I'm glad I could help. If you use autolock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032) you can use the attached script (original one updated) to disable the autolock while in landscape. I use autolock for suspend, incall and outcall when connected - if you use other features you have to modify the keys accordingly.

I have a question: I have a Tilt 2 and I'm looking to just beable to rotate any screen as I please...how in the world do I play/edit with Mort Script?
I'm very new to this phone and HTC in general.
Also...when I install a .CAB file. I've downloaded a few and stored them on my Memory (Scan Disc) to help conserve memory on my phone. Once it's saved on my memory disc I then loaded the program and POOF...it's done.
Is that the right way to install a .CAB file? I'm kind of lost and I hope I didn't mess anything up.
Thanks,

Everything about MortScript can be found here: http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view
The "Scripts" are text files (can be edited with any text editor on PC or phone) saved with .mscr extension. Install the CAB from the link above, put the script on device and double click on it in a file explorer.

It's recommended to keep the .CABs on SD card, in case you hard reset the device they are handy to be reinstalled. I personaly prefer to install the programs in main memory instead of SD card.

Thanks...I was alittle concerned about where I was saving the .CAB files. I appreciate you getting back to me.
I guess I was doing it right.
I believe there is a .CAB file somewhere on this website to make phone be able to switch between landscape and port...regardless of what menu or screen your looking at.
As of right now...I'm simply looking for a way to remove some of the programs that came installed on this phone. When the phone is on IDLE...it's still using about 70% of it's memory. It's killing me and I need to remove a ton of random programs (However, I do not want to flash my rom)...
Thanks again!

Hi,
Memory usage is affected by running programs not neccessary by installed programs - if you don't use an application and that application doesn't have any process resident in memory, it doesn't affect the amount of free RAM.
Try this to minimaze RAM usage: http://translate.googleusercontent....le.com&usg=ALkJrhgxbK5uth-OsSBjHj7d-TAJphQmUg

My Tilt2 used to run +75%. From what I read, some programs take up memory even after being closed out. I did some more searching and installed the Dynamic Resource Proxy and No Push Internet cabs from here. Now I run in the 50-60% range.

After realizing this .cab would do it's job automatically (I thought I had to set the programs that wanted to rotate), I was wondering if there's anyway to auto-rotate the Titanium U/I with this?
