No more than 13 items on Today screen...

Hi. I found out that when you install a new application with a Today item if you already have 13 of them the last one install sort of bumps one out. The first one to go in my case is the Tasks. Mind you I do not have all 13 active. Most are unchecked in my Settings / Today control panel. Seems like there is a limitation to how many of them can be installed at any given time.
This brings up the question. How can I remove things like MMS Composer today item or those others installed by various applications without uninstalling the application itself. Is there a registry location where the info is kept? Presumably I can just remove the reference and bring my count under 13. Am I off base here?
Thanks

no, you're spot on!
Use a registry editor, such as resco and remove the entry under hkey_local_machine\software\Microsoft\today\items

I m actually looking to add MMS back on today Screen
not sure how anyone can help
in the register is only show
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\MMS Composer]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
even Enable it (turn it to 1)
it is not showing

Presumably you have tried going to Start/Settings/Today/Items to see if MMS is available to tick? (sorry if thats too obvious!)
Otherwise you may have fallen foul of the 13 Item limit, and may need to delete another of the Today Items in the registry to allow MMS to show.
One tip, is to export the Registry entry to "Storage" before deleting it- this will ensure you can get it back if you find you need it in the future- double tapping an exported registry entry will reimport it.

Remap left softkey on Today screen?

Greetings,
I'd like to remap the left softkey on the Today screen to go to something else besides calendar. I've searched all the forums and have turned up several apps (vijaytoggletoday, smartskey, and some others) but they all seem to be geared toward either totally removing the soft key menu bar from the Today screen, or changing the behavior of the hardware soft key buttons. I just want to change what the left soft key points to from Calendar to something else. I saw a post sometime ago where someone had remapped it to Comm Manager, so I know it's possible. How do I do it?
Thanks!

Search google for soft key changer.
Also available on Buzzdev.net
Also in a registry hack on the wiki, in the Today keys.

what did you find that removed the softkeys all together?
Regarding remapping, look for SoftKeyApplet or SoftKeyAppletEx ..

To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\(Default ) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\(Default ) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
gravejoker vjtoggletodayII will remove the softkeys

Thanks guys...
Chaotic, exactly what I was looking for.. .thanks!
Grave, as chaotic said, vijaytoggletoday will do it, as well as DCINoBar.

To access the call log, you can do it programmatically, or use VJPhoneShortcuts.

Nobody know which is the .exe file that start the incoming/outcoming call list ? Thanks

I dont think you can get to the call history using an exe file .. has to be done programatically ..

I think I already indicated above, VJPhoneShortcuts.

First you must install "NewMenu", then create a new item, then choose "callhistory.exe" from windows folder. That's easy!

There isn't callhistory.exe in the windows folder.

Try what Vijay suggested .. that should give you shortcuts to the Call history and Speed dial .. then remap one of the soft keys to it ..
And no .. I dont think there's any CallHistory.exe anywhere ..

SMS problem on tytn

I am trying to disable sms sending notification and have tried following:-
Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSNoSentMsg"=dword:00000001 ->0 to enable, 1 to disable.
When i go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox, after inbox there are just two options SendDriver and Svc, where is settings?
Help will be appreciated.
Reliance.

Id recommend just downloading HtweakC instead sir, makes life ALOT easier.
Also it can perform the other tweaks available on the Hermes.

i only need this sms specific tweak, not interested in others. so if u could help me for that?

You have to Add the Dword Value using your registry editor "SMSNoSentMsg" with a value of 1. And i think you'd find HTweakC useful as it has other benificial tweaks.

it seems like non have read and understood my question.

If you make the registry entry you specify in post #1 you will get what you want.

if you mean you want to remove the sound and notification bubble after you send an SMS, try this registry tweak:
HKCU\control panel\notifications\default\options
change the dword value to whatever suits your needs.
here are the following dword value and corresponding results:
0 - show icon
1 - show icon and play notification sound
2 - show icon and vibration
3 - show icon and vibration and play notification sound
4 - same as 0
5 - same as 1
6 - same as 3
7 - same as 3
8 - show icon and notification bubble
9 - show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble
10 - show icon and notification bubble and vibration
11 - show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble and vibration

need help!!!!!!!!!
okay so im kinda new with these things where do i go on my phone to make these changes can someone please give me step by step instructions it would really be appreciated! thanks

download Schaps advanced config, transfer to the Hermes, click on cab file. Find it in programs directory an start it. Go to messaging, turn off sms sent notification. press done, restart Hermes and viola', All fixed.
Check in your settings 1st though as you may already have a version cookrd in if you are using a cooked rom (PDACorner V25 has a good version that allos a few neat tricks).
If you decide to upgrade your rom then PLEASE, HARD SPL YOUR HERMES...
Use Hard SPL V7 found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...

after that download what will i do?
How to install file file format is different I think it is different...

Possibly unzip/unrar the downloaded file.....

Multiple select in Outlook (SMS/MMS) using drag

Is it possible to select multiple messages on Touch HD using drag in Outlook (SMS/MMS) ? My frind who is having Touch Pro can select multipe messages using drag, and I can't. We've noticed that we have different menus - he doesn't have Menu -> Select Messages, so I suppose that this is introduced on Touch HD because 'drag mutiple select' is disabled ... Or there is an option where could I enable this feature ? I also had this posibiliy on Himalaya as far as I can remember ...
Tnx!

I would like to know this as well as deleting multiple messages can be very time consuming without this feature.

used to be possible on my Touch Pro but now it isnt available on the HD. Not sure why.

Menu--> Select Messages --> Several

OK, but why did they disable drag ? I think it's much more simple dragging than tapping ...

I would assume that its because that would be the same gesture you would use to scroll the screen down.

Not quite the same, because on Touch Pro it's possible to select and to scroll and it's quite easy (with a little practice) to distinguate these gestures. But maybe some people had problems with that so that's why they disabled it ... But they could leave an option to enable it ...

Hi,
I am also having same problem. I cannot multi select files, massages, contacts or etc using drag.....
Can anyone plz help......
Thanks in advance.

it is because of newer build 207XX. touch pro had build 199XX. microsoft have disabled the ability to use multi select in newer builds. however you can recover most of the multi-select feature by making a following reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:1
after making this key, multi-select with finger/stylus will work everywhere except the inbox.

I once solved the problem in POutlook by pulling a copy of poutlook from an older kitchen and putting it into a new kitchen. Now the ROMs I'm using don't have kitchens so I can't seem to figure out how to fix it since I cannot copy poutlook.exe from the older ROM (get access denied message).
This was on a Titan but figured since you guys are having the same complaints maybe you could help me figure out how to copy poutlook.exe out of \Windows\...
Edit: it may have actually been tmail.exe... it was a few months ago now so I don't entirely remember.

Did anyone try to disable outlook enhancements? you can try to disable it by going to HKLM\Services\Enhancements\OutlookEnhancements and changing the string to add an extra symbol (like ") so that it disable it and soft reset to see if it changes the options.

HD2 US: Need help on how to disable vibration in text input

I need help in disabling vibration when using the keyboard. I've tried to look for it in the forums and in the device settings but did not find anything. There is no personalization in the Settings tab.

I know the setting is in there somewhere. A search for "vibrate typing" turned up amongst others:

I guess you'll find the answer in both of those threads.

thanks for the links! but i think the HD2 US that i have does not have that remove vibration option in the settings. i tried to look for that option in all the settings but i could not find it. if it's there, then i definitely need to have my eyes checked.

Im running a generic HTC ROM on my T9193 model; go to the Settings tab (in Sense), then Personalize, then Vibration

Using Resco Registry go to
Hkey Local Machine > Software > HTC > ezsip
Add a new DWORD Value string and call it "VibrationEnabled" (without the quotes) and give it a value of 0.
Soft reset and BAM!
But this is with Resco Registry, with another reg edit program, i am not sure what kind of string you are adding, hopefully it is still called DWORD.

This is really useful, especially because it turns off only keyboard vibration. Thank you very much!

If anyone is still having issues with this problem there is an easier way without messing around with the registry. From any screen hit the Windows button to the right of the home button on the phone itself, not the touchscreen. Then find the "settings" icon and tap that. Next you will see a "personalize" tab and tap it, at the very bottom of those options you will see a "vibration" tab, tap that and you will be taken to a screen that allows you to change the settings for the keyboard, simply uncheck the box, tap done and your all set

I'm using the NRG ROM, and those instructions don't make any sense to me. Also, be aware that the stock TMOUS ROM (as I recall, I didn't use it long), does not give access to the standard "Settings" icon except via the Sense tab.

You are correct, on a stock ROM if I remember right you have to go to Settings>Menu>All Settings>Personal>Imput I think it has been a little while since I used any Windows Mobile ROMs now.

Registry hack worked for me.
Would be interesting to determine impact on battery life.

TMOUS-Sense Vibration Settings
This is an old thread but there was a recent reply. For the T-Mobile HD2 with a stock ROM amd/or the Sense overlay, go to the Settings tab, select Personalize, select Vibration and then uncheck the box. However, this did not turn off vibration for the Swype keyboard.
If you have another ROM, then these settings may not be available via this method. BSB Tweaks has settings to turn off/on vibration for HTC apps and calculator vibration. Of course, the registry editing will work. I have found the Resco registry editor to be easy and useful.
