Hi, I cant seem to do this because:
1. The today link doesnt show up in file explorer or resco file explorer even with 'show all files' checked, so I dont see anyway to remove it.
2. Interactive appears to be some sort of tmobile crap installed ( I think ) which I can delete, but comes back with every soft reset, I have applied the cab to stop files such as htc_people coming back, but 'interactive' isnt affected
Any solutions guys?
ME TOO!
Anyone got an answer to this? Its really annoying me how I have to put up with that random icon that cant be changed, an ugly pimple among the loverly Metro icons I have.

Is there any torch / flashlight app where it turns the screen completely white with max backlight settings? Something like NiceLight for S60.
I've found one but it doesn't alter the screen brightness.
Many thanks
This works on the HD (but I don't use the torch much): pda.jasnapaka.com/plamp/
tried this one, and i like it, but it seems not to install. i can run it from the file, but i cant make a shortcut bescause it doesnt come up in the programs list. Anyone experience the same?
I have tried this too but the brightness intensity doesn't seem to work with the HD.

You can create a shortcut by using file explorer. Copy and then Paste shortcut into windows/start menu/programs
(please note when pasting it's easier to use "menu>edit>paste shortcut" located bottom-right)
Now you have the app in your program list to do whatever you want with it.
wired, there are to programs witch I cannot add, and both are in the filder you tell me to add to. if i put them in the programs folder-my unit programs-were other programs are, they still wont show on the list so i have to run them from file xplorer. beats me
I'm trying to understand what you're saying...
Make sure you've actually created a shortcut and not the program itself e.g. "shortcut to pLamp" and not pLamp.
Soft reset may help.
understanding now, i moved the programe. But i can only cut it and copy in that menu, it doesnt say copy shortcut, so den i cant paste the shortcut?
Probably me beeing noob so thanks for trying to help
Got it, found another folder called programs, then it worked
thank you very mutch
I installed Touch Commander, as the adverts looked promising, but I did not like it at all and uninstalled it immediately. Unfortuntely it has changed the way my Start menu looks, now the list is longer and the program names are smaller, also the list of the last used programs has disappeared completely. This is a nasty little program which also left a hand icon in my windows settings, which, when i click it gives me an error message. Could anyone please help me get the original start menu back? I couldn't find anything in Settings, it must have modified a registry setting.
to enable thr large start menu setings/system/touchflo/ then check large start menu. as for the hand i have no idea
Thanks mate, that did the trick, it also disabled other things but I managed to restore them. The hand icon in the settings doesn't bother me too much.
I'm hoping to get a bit of advice, I'm new to ROM cooking but after a couple days I'm nearly there. Please see the list of issues and have a look if you know the solution to any of them. Many thanks, Andrew

prob: no longer asks for screen calibration on install.
fix: Do manually via Settings > Screen until I find a fix.
prob: after installed you'll get a white screen saying "please wait".
fix: Hit one of the top icons and it'll go away.
note: I'm looking for a fix without enabling HTC's RunCC.
prob: clicking the battery icon doesn't do anything (it should really invoke power).
fix: access manually via Settings until I fix.
prob: screen text is default (one size too large imho). Need to find the registry key to notch it down a level.
fix: do manually via "screen"for now.
prob: the background is a gif as I can't workout how to get the compiler to use a jpg for the Default_stwater.
fix: none
issue: slight colour banding because of it.
prob: empty Tools folder on Start-Menu.
fix: delete it from /Windows/Start-Menu/Programs
issue: can't find the location to kill it so you'll need to do manually.

I am also a noob cook but for the tilt. Ill be happy to help you with what I can.
The screen calibration depends on the build you are using. What build are you using?
I normally just take a jpg file and rename it and copy over the old one in the sys file.
As far as the empty folder you should be able to just delete the icon and then it will not be there. I am not sure how you have your kitchen set up. If you have a custom icon package in your ext folder then you can delete it there.
Not to sure about the text size but will look into it.
1
might be something with your kitchen
in some kitchens for diamond there is option to "disable everything other than screen calibration" (exactly opp. but that might cause some issue)
3
use advanced config and in "today" options select display battery on today screen
6
in your kitchen look for a file called "initflashfiles.dat" (NOT TXT)
it will be in "OEM_Lang_xxxx" folder (might differ)
edit that file and remove entry for the tools folder
and keep that file in "read only" attributes
1. already played with this option but it's not doing anything for me "disable everything other than screen calibration" ... It did work at one point
3. I don't want it on the Today screen I only want it to run the htcpower app when it's clicked.
6. "initflashfiles.dat">> no entry called "Tools" already tried that
Why does it matter if it's read-only or not?
Okay guys more help please!
I can't recall if I saw these things pre or post upgrade from 1.48 to 1.66 rom
BUT:
1) when I pressed the windows button there used to be a folder there called games which is no longer there. I can find it via file explorer in start menu/programs (and it contains links to a couple of games I installed) but I would like it back in the main screen to be able to click on
2) there used to be an icon for bluetooth. I think it used to be in the tools folder but again I can't find it anywhere now, not even via file explorer in start menu as above. I can turn on BT via the setting switch but
a) I would like to get back icons that there there before!
b) I would like to explore what configurable options are available
sorry just to update.
I remembered now where the BT icon is/was - setting/all settings!
Still would like the Games Folder on the main screen (ie when you press the windows button and/or even better a quicklink) though!
Ignore me - I'm dim!
Found it. It is still there but the icon is different [or possibly I remember it differently!]
I have added a shortcut to the BT Manager to the startup menu so I have an icon there now as well
Hey guys..are there any tweaks/hacks for file explorer and contacts page which makes programs names and respectively contacts name to be shown fully..not just a part of them?i'm looking for this for long time..
I think, the only way is to turn your screen to landscape.
yep..i know this way but i'm just usual to browse the phone in portrait mode
Maybe, only if you find a way to decrease font size (names must be fit to screen, to see full name), but then you will get two new problems:
1. Vision problem
2. It will be difficult to use your finger to select an item.
hmmm..better a hack or a registry change then
About font size decreasing?
yeah......
It's not easy...
...maybe with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551611
doesn't work..it give me an error
What's the error said?
MagnifierSetup.exe
NullreferenceException
la Magnifiersetup.main..ctor()
la MagnifierSetup.Program.Main()
does it work for you?
I don't know why. I don't use it. I prefer auto-rotation.
i use auto-rotation apps too..but all of them rotates manila too..even if i put them in exception list..and if i wanna use manila/sense i need to close this program hmmm
Have you tried ChangeScreen?
yes..using it..but as i told u its messing up manila even if i put it as exception,and its kinda freezing the phone when i go to homescreen
Try a manual-rotation app.
Something like this:

thx but its no fun without g-sensor
still looking if there is a registry hack,cuz i want to be able to see full contacts name in portrait mode,and as for file explorer i'd like to get rid of date and maybe file size because i dont care about them..this way i will see the full app name
For your files you can use Resco Explorer. You have to deactivate "Show Treeview" and you will be able to see in full name more items than file explorer, but not all.
looks great,thx..and MUCH more complex than WM file explorer,thank you very much
as for contacts..i'll try to find a better contacts manager too,,maybe i will see full names too
