I still use the default windows calendar application, but I'd like to find a way to customize it. (or customise, if you prefer).
Under "subject" there is a drop-down menu that I'd like to add to or alter the default settings. I have "Meet with, Lunch, Dinner, Visit, Call", etc., but I'd like to change these to "Dental appointment, Class, Kids activity, On Call at work" or whatever comes to mind. This way I can find these appointments faster.
Any ideas? I've searched for many tweaks but not found these.
What about SPB Diary or any of those programs that enhance your phone's PIM.. have you tried any of those?
I haven't. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible, without adding a whole bunch of extra software to the phone.
I was hoping it could be found in some hexadecimal registry search or something, but I don't have the time right now to really dig deep. I was just hoping one of the brilliant minds here knew of a way.
please clarify
Dirt,
Under subjects I understand you have entries already added by yourself. have you tried under categories??? I think you might find it easier to use that to find them quicker when searching, noting that it would be just like using the desktop version of outlook. Just a thought, you know.

I have two areas I want to enter things into, Subject, and Location. Both of these are drop-down boxes, with some pre-installed entries in Subject. Nothing is per-installed in Location.
I can simply type what I want into these boxes and it will work, but with the drop-down boxes it would be much easier to simply select one.
Even adding my own entries doesn't add them to the drop-down list for future use.
This is all at the screen of a new calendar appointment, at the very top.
Ok, which version (wm5/6) herald do you have?? I understand you, but what you can't do I can with mine, and its stock.
This is WM6.1 pro.
same problem here..
Ive searched the registry for those default entries. found nothing. maybe in some xml config file...
I just flashed a new rom, and am in the process of making some custom shortcuts for the start menu, in order to implement them into my programs tab on TF2d.
How does one go about changing the icons displayed by actual WM (and in turn, TF2d)? Again, I'm not talking about about UL, IFonz, Hi-nav, SPB Pocketplus, or anything that has a icon changing function already in place. If it were that cut and dried, I wouldnt be asking. The goal here to to use some of bluemetalaxe's icons to replace the generic DOS looking icons that you get when you create your own shortcut.
Could anyone here point me in the right direction? Previous searches have only netted results for the aforemention programs, and the only place you really see customized Windows Mobile icons are in cooked roms. Surely there is a way to do this without having to cook, im not in the mood to do THAT much tweaking.
Thanks in advance,
Colin
Yes - this is a relatively hard topic to find & understand from this forum. But through a bit of patience, it can be done.
Here you can read how to change icons for folders:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339405&highlight=icons
For icons for individual files, I sort of learned by myself (read ^ that thread first):
Select an icon from your .dll
Select a setting or program to link to
Then, simply create a .lnk file that is structured like this example [for wi-fi settings]:
1#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,17?\Windows\custicons.dll,-186
Thanks alot man, I appreciate your help. I'm saving that info to notepad for the archives, lol.
^ yeah no problem dude.
That's what I did - all the important info is stored away
Hello,
i think it's just a simple problem, but i couldn't solve it till now lol.
On the one hand there's the program-path on windows, and on the other hand there's another on tf3d, which u can reach by the tf3d icons (2 pics to show at attachments).
I just wanna know how to add programs to the way with tf3d. Or isn't that possible?
Just click on the empty gray icon with a plus in it. Then you get the "add program" dialogue.
well ye, i'm sorry, my bad english in this thread is leading for missunderstandings.
U r right ofc, but that's not my problem. I meant how to add programs which r not in the list!
So for example: i installed mobile navigator and i wanna have the program in that path. There're just about 10 programs in the list and no button like 'add more programs'.

I see.
I think the list of "Add programs" applications comes from the \windows\start menu\programs directory.
So, if you want to add a program to TF3D program Tab you first need to copy a short-cut link to the program into the above directory.
UPDATE: It looks like the TF3D collects all programs in the \windows\start menu directories (not just the "Programs" directory). So, make sure there is a link to the application you want somewhere there.
Then, add using the empty grey icon. Finally, if you wish, delete the link to the file.
thx for ur answer, but it didn't solve the problem. As it seems, it hasn't anything to do with each other. The files in \windows\start menu\programs r just for the start-menu, and the files in \windows\start menu\ i dunno what they r for. Neither putting an app in the first, nor putting it in the second path causes anything.
I had a closer look at the folders in the \windows folder, but didn't found anything which could have to do with touchflo!
The most important thing i noticed:
When i go for the icon on touchflo, first there's the screen which program i wanna start. Now i can tab on the 'plus' which normaly therefor is used to add more programs, such as everyone would expect it. Normally so far! but now: in the next screen (look attached pic #2 from first post) there's no dialoge like 'add more applications' (like i said before). So the only way to fix this problem is about windows. But there's no folder i saw. I think finding the right place for the apps is the only way to fix it.

Hi, sorry it did not work - we need a better expert to understand this than me !
clearly TF3D is getting a list of possible applications from somewhere. I thought this was the \windows\start menu directory.
I don't know where else - maybe the registry, etc ???
well, me neither, else i wouldn't have started this topic.
I wondered founding nothing with the search function. I can't believe that i'm the only one with this question. In my opinion the function of that "Apps-Site" is a luxurious advantage of the phone, also having the fact to reach it that simply by tf3d, and not over the start-menu.
But, i really dunno how to fix it... registry could be a possibility, but i dunno much about it, so i'll keep my hands out of it, at least with self-testing..
Well, maybe another one can help me?
Ok, i concentrated on the registry now, but didn't find anything which could have to do with my problem.
So no1 can help me with this problem?

This is the way it should (and does) work.
Adding a shortcut to the windows\startmenu(\programs) folder will also show the application in the WM program path, so check there to verify if you added an application shortcut or perhaps did something else.
Also make sure you don't have more than 6 programs added to the Windows\Startmenu folder itself as it will not work properly otherwise.
If I understand the problem correctly, you want to add a shortcut of a given program in the All Programs list.
Easily done, here's the procedure :
- make sure you have installed the HouMing File Explore Extension ;
- now open File Explorer ;
- search the file you want to see in the All Programs list ;
- touch and hold the file name until a context menu appears ;
- choose 'Send Shortcut to Prog ...' ;
DONE !
Now you can choose your program and add it to the list.
omfg -.-"
i found the solution...when i tried to hit the 'plus' and reached the "all programs" screen, there have been just a few programs, like on my screen showed. I didn't know, that i can scroll down those programs!!! The whole time i thought, there would be just these 10 programs.
So the only problem was not knowing that i can scroll in that screen through all those programs...
I'm really sorry for my own stupidness!!!
Thanks to every1 for helping me... *head -> wall*
He he, good news.
I understand entirely. I was surprised ages ago by the tap & hold function !!

Hey you guys this is off subject but it also involves this thread..
ok, so we only have about 30 shortcuts on our programs tab right? well i added more, so now i have up to 51 shortcuts on my programs tab. i click on the extra ones added and everything goes well until after selecting a primary program to add, it doesnt add.
this is what i did.. maybe i missed a step!
Open Regedit and i went to the following root
*HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher.
i created new folders 31-51 and inside each folder i created the following strings and dword:
String Values Name: Command
String:
String Values Name: DispName
String:
String Values Name: IconPath
String:
String Values Name: Path
String:
DWORD Value Name: IsReadOnly
Data : 0
Then i went to the following root:
*HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\totalItemCount.
and i changed the DWORD Data to 51.
i Restarted my phone and i stopped there.
Please advice cause this would be pretty badass if we can keep adding to our programs tab.

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
