On the full qwerty, only $ is mapped as a long press (f key in this case), to get the £ sign not only do you need to switch to the "numeric and symbols" keyboard, but you also need to go to the second page - is there any way at all to replace $ on the main keyboard with £?

+1 from another UK user!
Glad to see it's not only me that's irritated by it A "long press and slide" to select, like for accented letters (so you could also have the euro and yen symbols along) would be soooo nice

It doesn´t work for me. Strange.
Nor for me. Stock Vodafone UK HD2.

Is this a reg tweak or a bit of compiled code?

Hi all,
It's freezing in London, UK! Anyways...
I hate the o2 phone skin I am stuck with, I noticed once before after a hard reset there was a much nicer skin - im guessing it was the default WM5 skin...I know it was blue... Well - I want it back ..
So today's question from me..
How do I change my phone skin.. WITHOUT HARD RESET..
Ta
lol..its bloody freezin!..
here u go...speeded up my exec..and actually prefer the simple default skin anyway..use resco or any other registry editor
To set or remove the operator phone skin
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'
The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be set to '1' to show the operator skin or '0' to show the default skin
wow that is so much faster! Thanks!
Although - I was talking about a completely different skin? Unusual!
Ahh well this one is just what I need - a phone.
Ta!
The problem with method is that you lose the button for video calls. Is there a way around it?
Thanks

HI,
I tried the buttons and I cannot get video calls with the default phone skin (as explained above).
Thanks.
the most interesting about it actually is that it will give you 10 Megs of RAM...if you can live without the videocalling.
My videocalling button appears to work. :?

How exactly do you get that extra space?? Does it require a hard reset or can you delete the extra files? If the latter which are the correct files to delete?
Does anyone know a way to put the date on the taskbar with the start button and time etc? I want to do this so I can remove the date from the today screen, and also so I can see the date from any window, like the time.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
At section `Change the display of the clock in the taskbar`
Note: Once you've change the registry. Give it a good (say) 3-5 minutes for it to have it registered/stored before doing a soft reset. If the time/date doesn't change after soft reset, check the registry again, probably you didn't give it enough time to update. Although this reg edit is relatively harmless, back up your device before doing so.

Thanks, this worked great, I have the date on my taskbar now, however when trying to alter the short date I have a problem. If I do this example given, "To change the Short Date Format to show "Mon/2" = ddd/d" then this works fine. What I actually want is to show the day and the month, i.e. for the 5th June, i'd like it to display 05/06. I've tried to do this but it displays as "05/m". Any ideas why this happens?
bumpety bump!
You need to use an uppercase M, not lowercase m.
m = minutes, which is invalid in the date field, so it just uses 'm'
M = month, which is valid in the date field, and so should show the date.
Note that if you want the leading zero, you'll need to use MM.
What device or ROM does the Tweaks thread cover?
My Cingular 8125 doesn't have the key described for changing the clock and/or date on the taskbar. :?
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell has no "TBOpt" key on my 8125.
Anyone know where the tweak can be made on the 8125?
Thanks.

I had considered it, but without knowing, I didn't want to add a key.
No problem! Just post again if you have any trouble
I tried to do this per instructions but the final 6 (5/5/06) cuts off. I tried to change it to short date but it didnt work. I had to add the SSDte key but it deletes everytime i restart the phone.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? It appears the date is being cut off...
That's the space reserved for the X/OK button covering the 6.
I don't know how to change the date in the taskbar to the short date format. That would probably help.

I used RegistryWizard to get the date onto the taskbar. It does not have any formating options for the date... thus why im in this thread.
See here for RegistryWizard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
Some people are having issues with the latest version (including me) but the second most recent works fine to add the date.
Hey.
Here is the way to change the homekeys IN TFLO 3D.
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
Here is:
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
Changing the boot picture/sound:
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAnimation (startup animation)
and
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Splash Screen (The green WM 6.1 logo)
BY "teddyen66"
Hi
Have tried it but can't get the labels or items opened to change. Can you post an example of the string you're using?
Thanks alot. Finally some usefull apps on the softkey!!!
;-)
Nice one Moooooa *blink* *blink*

Changed Phone to Camera as I find it a pain in the ass to get the camera up and running quickly! Who needs Phone - as pressing the Call key does the same thing.

Nice thought! I was thinking the same as well, or the other alternative is to activate/deactivate Bluetooth but does anybody know the string to Enable Bluetooth?
Thanks in advance!
Just wondering - why use registry when you have that option in Preferences?
"Changing the boot picture/sound:
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAnimation (startup animation)
and
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Splash Screen (The green WM 6.1 logo)"
So i tried it i just changed the path to another image (jpg) in the internal storage. I got a blank screen.
So does the image you choose have to been in the device?
Does it have to be .png?
If so whats the file path to the device.
Thanks very much or maybe im doing it all wrong you tell me please.
Cheers! thanks!

I have changed the text on the right button. I want the right button to "link" to my contacts, but I cannot find out what the contacts are called on the Diamond?

Yo dude. I just checked it out.
Try: Start>settings>buttons
However, there is only 1 button that you can set (or maybe that what i know),
from the drop down menu, choose "camera". Viola!
Thru trial and error, i found out that the Button 1 is actually the call button.
Which means: press it once to go into phone mode, long press (hold) to activate camera. Hope that helps.

i can´t find the preferences menu, can you help me, please?
I use finger friendly friends, without any problems.
However I did NOT set it as my default Outlook.
It is just to find people. I put it under the long press phone key.
I made both the input as the output characters nice and big.
But, I forgot how to clear just one character if I do not find the right person.
Or has a backspace key in this setting disappeared?

hklm\software\htc\enlargemenu\disablelandscape to 0

Does this enable the Sense Start menu if you aren't using Sense as the Home screen? That would be sweet, I like the standard old style WInMo Home but not the 6.5 start menu.
