Tapping the Today icon brings me to Home - HD2 General

Hi,
Did anybody encounter this problem? In the Program menu, when tapping on the Today icon, it send me back to the main screen, the device seems to hang until I press the home button then the weather will start animating again.
My Rom version is 1.66.707.1 WWE.
I've tried
1)Hard reset
2)Reflashing
Both doesn't help. Would really appreciate a little help.
I did a search, in the forum, and I could have missed a thread created about this, if I did, please point me to the right thread.
Thanks!!

The home screen is the today screen.

Oh shucks. I think I made a mistake, I thought tapping on the today icon in Programs let me change settings for the home screen. Just realized that it's in all settings.
Thanks for pointing me back TickByt.

notes today plugin avail at handango or pocket gear . Oh by the way as for a great program that closes shoose transcreative majic button. It works very well Have a great night kinmont
how can i put the phone.exe on my today menu or taskbar?
I would say, you don't really need a phone shortcut onto the today screen. Just press the green "dial" button and that brings up the phone application no matter what screen you're in and press the red button if you want to return to whatever screen you were at before. However, I do recommend the free picture dialer plug in floating around here in xda. It works wonders right from the today screen, one touch dialing
could u post where to get that picture dialer thing? i cant find it lol

DavidT,
is that screenshort from your Universal? I have loaded the photo dialler app to my today screen and the pictures are far too small to be useful. Read a post which said it wasn't VGA aware, although they look fine on your screenshot.
TIA

Full (non transparent) background.. is this possible?

I have a custom background image on my windows mobile 6 and it comes in slightly transparent. Its like WM6 lightened it up or something automatically. Is there an option where I can turn this off to make the image show up in its original full color?
Thanks in advance.
Quickest way to do that, in my experience, is to open the image you want in the picture viewer and then select "set as background" (or something like that) from the menu. This gives you the option to set the transparency. If at 0% it will show the full image.
For some strange reason WM always sets the background to half transparent when you use the today screen setup to select a background, making it look very milky and mostly ugly. Don't really know why you can't change the transparency from there.
You could also make your own theme but that might be a little overkill for just a background.
Got it! Thanks!
Ok, Got a quick questions here figured i wouldnt post a new thread, i figured out how to set as background but theres no option to apply, if you hit OK in the top right it nevers sets it as the background, any ideas??
Thanks!

If you view the pic with picture viewer then right softkey for menu, there is a set as background option.
I seen that but when you hit that button it opens you can set the transparency, But then if you Hit OK in the top right corner it does absolutely nothing to change the background..... any ideas

Ive never had that problem. After setting the transperency it always sets it as the background. I would say its file type problem. Are you using a gif or jpeg?
jpeg i can post a screen shot if need be

Instead of hitting the ok in the top right corner, hit ok on the key that says ok underneath the right soft key.
Let me know if that works.
hey Whataya Know it worked haha, Thanks!!!!!!!! I really appreciate it, I shoulda thought of that lol

Wow......never thought someone would mix those up. GOOD CALL. The ok on the top of the screen is basically a X. Always use the menu keys at the bottom.
i figured that but instead of it having a X in the top right this time it was just an ok so i figured it was the apply button but haha i guess not

has dissappeared.
tried many things but it dont comes back

Turn it on from the settings menu.
Start ---> Settings --> System ---> Task manager
Then select Button on the bottom and enable "Enable Quick Menu on Today Screen".
thnx a lot
i thought it had something to do with the detatcher
No Problem.
Yeah I had this problem too, but it seemed to come back after a soft reset. Weird things have been happening since I installed the detatcher.

yep. here too.
sometimes the phone cant take it i think
i've got a lot of cpu usage after installing the detatcher
whats the detacher? sounds like a soul consumer.
it seperates your today screen and the manila app.
so you can use both, your today screen and your touchflo.

menu icon on home screen removal and bind to phisical key

The menu icon on the home screen takes a lot of space. There could be 4 icons in there instead. Can it be removed and then bond to another phisical key like the press of the ball?

Not really understanding what your asking. Are you talking about when you hit your menu button?
I am also not really understanding the question which is why I didn't respond the first time the OP created the thread.
To OP:
Please don't make multiple threads for the same question just because your not getting a response!

Ok I'm glad I wasn't the only one. This was the first thread I looked at when I got into work. Had to wipe the sleep out my eyes take a sip of coffee and try to figure out this question.
Are they talking about the app drawer and phone tab slider on a Hero ROM maybe?????

Thats what I was thinking, but not quite sure. Just waiting on OP to respond.
I think he/she means the app draw, that's the only thing that makes sense.
1) That would require a complete re-write of the app
2) It wouldn't give you enough vertical space for the icon and text
3) All the buttons are already used (shocker!) The trackball can be used to select an icon and click on it, so that would have to be disbaled.
ok thx for the answears and sorry I crated 2 threads about this one. On the first one I messed up the thread name so I thought nobody would read it. Going back, I am talking about the button that is on the bottom of the screen, the one that pulls up all the apps. That one takes a lot of space, actually a whole row where there could be other icons instead.
So I was thinking if there is a possibility to link that menu to an actual phisical key, like pressing the scrolling ball.

Yep, that's what I thought, read my post above, it will explain why it's pointless.
actually the ahome does put 4 new icons on that bottom part but I don't know how to bind the trackball. No it would not have to be disabled the trackball action as long as there is no icon pressed. So the drawar would be pulled when the trackball would be pressed only if no icon is pressed, otherwise the icon would start
Yes because aHome moves all the other icons closer together, which would require lots of work to get launcher.apk to do the same.
dxtop has a 5 icon dock, and can deploy launcher by holding menu key.

Wierd message cancel thing

Hi there just wondering if anyone had/has this problem and knows how to fix it. Basically when i go to reply to a text message by clicking on it (from inside TouchFlo) the keyboard appears, then dissapears. When i click on the box to type, the keyboard comes up, then jumps back down. I have to press the 'Keyboard' button when the keyboard is down (to bring it up) then type somthing (which doesn't appear) and then press space...to even start typing anything. It's really odd, i've tried re-flashing both stock and a few other ROM's...same wierd problem...anyone?
THANKS!
I also have the same problem. If i double tap a message from within touchflo there is no problem but if i tap it once i have the keyboard problem. It has been bugging me for a while as well! Although it's not major, if anyone has a fix it would be much appreciated.
haha it's really annoying the double clicking things doesnt work for me...anyone got a fix? also what rom are you running? thanks
Deleted....
talking to some of my friends, i've realised that this happens on general windows mobile, not just this phone, therefore i will re-post in order to gain more publicity. Thanks
Fortunately for me, everything is working fine, as in the manuals, even after using this set for over a year now. When I click "reply" from within TF, it automatically gives a text/message typing area and a keyboard area at the bottom half which stays there. I can drop the keyboard down (and up) by tapping (once) the keyboard icon at the bottom centre. no problem.
ha! it's lucky for some! What ROM are you using? Thanks
