Love my HD2, but am wondering if anyone knows of a shortcut to get to call forwarding or an app to turn on and off call forwarding, without having to go through all the screens and toggle?
TY
Andrew
I would like to know this aswell, if anyone out there can help ??
any news on this one? It woul be a very handy app.
If you use Launcher Pro as your launcher then you can open that page with an activity shortcut.
Long-hold the home page to add a shortcut and go:
Shortcuts, Activities, Dialer, Call forwarding
It still takes a few seconds to populate that page, but it has to get the information from your provider every time you start it, so there's nothing you can do about that. It is, however, a shortcut to that page.
If you don't use Launcher Pro then I don't believe you have the ability to add activity shortcuts.
I know its been a while since this was requested. I have just changed my car and the new one has an old factory fitted Motorola startac fitted as a factory option. Rather than mess and fit a new hands free kit I was wanting to forward my HD2 to the Startac.
I have just found the way to do what you require. Firstly use your file explorer (i used resco) to unhide hidden files. Then look in the windows folder on your device and look for CMcallforward. You should then be able to send this to your start menu. Im using Cookies Home tab so I was then able to add this as a quick link.
Hope this helps, cant get much better than a one button option

I've done a pretty thorough search on here and have not found this info yet:
1. I need to find a way to call up the Pocket Office menu (the one with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint shortcuts) from the touch Cube. I tried using the officered.dll but can't work it out. Any Ideas?
2. I would like to toggle wifi on/off from the touch Cube as well. Any ideas to that shortcut?
Thanks
1) Search for touch settings app. This should let you change shortcuts on cube faces. Be weary, if you start to play around with it's other options, i changed the animations of the cube via this app and could not get them to change back.
or
search around the key registry for the cube app side settings and to it manualy yourself.
2) Search for just that, either google or xda, wifitoggle or something. There is a small app that has a shortcut to it too that you can use.
TouchSettings application killed the animation of the Touch Cruise Cube. I'd recommend to generally stay away from it. There's a real thing there about the biotouch version etc...
I found that you just have to link to fexplorer.exe with the path to the folder you want to open in the parameters. This way you can link the touch cube to any folder.
Still looking to toggle wifi...

That's exactly what I'd like to do but not sure what to enter in path/parameters/whatever. How do I make the tweaks?
Thanks.
Never mind - I figured it out myself somehow (Even a blind squirrel finds the occasional acorn).
Does anyone know how I might be able to change the default lower toolbar buttons in the SMS\MMS screen? At present the options are "Delete" & "Menu" and I want the 'delete' to be replaced with 'New SMS', it seems daft to have a 3 stage process just to send a quick SMS. A new message menu would be an acceptable compromise but I'd prefer a direct link to an SMS since I use those the most by far.
Are there any registry mods that I can implement to do this?
I'm using the official 6.1 WWE rom by the way.
I use a program called WM5 New Menu and used M2DC to make my left soft key launch it from the today screen. Basically it allows me in one press to create new SMS, Appointment, Contact etc. Its quite configurable.
i know what he wants, and that's not it. isn't there some way to change it within the program?
Hello all,
you know that when you tap the button 'call history' in today screen you get back to windows mobile - which is not so finger friendly and not so good lookin either.
My question is this:
Where can i edit the action of that 'call history' button? i wish it to open a different application.
i tryed ssmapa but it cant do it.
i think i need to edit a registry key or a manila file somewhere but i just dont know which one.
oh, i know there is a tweak putting a call history tab - I don like it and i dont need any more tabs.
thank you.
I too would like to know. When I installed Icontact, and the black dialer, my phone goes into Icontact from Phone->contacts in the black dialer, but i would like it to go to Icontacts from call history on the today screen, that would be nice
The author of SSMaPa claims that the call history is too much integrated in the whole system and so it shouldn't be changed. On the other hand - there should be a way.
i think it should be a way. as it knows to open a ccertain app for call history, it can open another
as i said, i think it is a registry key or a manila file
please help
yes i am looking for this information too
anybody?
Hi There,
If you ever used the "Close Button" plug-in from Spb Mobile Plus you prolly know what I mean...
The HTC Taskmanager looks all nice, I like it, but its only accessible on the Today Screen. Is there a way to make it accessible even when you're not on the today screen?
Sometimes when you're doing stuff you want to "alt-tab" to another program and this is an easy way to do it, or when you want to close another/all other programs.
I hope there's a solution because it really is an improvement to the taskmanager.
me too
sorry, no help here. I can only say "me too". I was actually just thinking about this today. I've had this phone for a few months, and it just today occurred to mr today that you can't close other open programs without going back to the today screen, only option is to "x" button back to today screen or hope that what you seek to close is in your start menu under 'recent items'.
any help or development would be super appreciated, thanks all.
There is a shortcut in the Settings folder in the Systems tab. However, I expect you don't want to go through all of that when you want to use it. As an alternative, you could use file explorer and go into the Windows folder, find the Task Manager program in there, copy it and past a shortcut in the Windows/Start Menu folder. Then it would be on your Start Menu. You would need to remove one other item if you were then over the allowed maximum number of items in there.
Is that accessible enough?
I'd rather not put it in my start menu cus there are other "important" shortcuts in there...
I'd rather have it in the upper right corner...
You could use WkTask
the best free taskmanager there is (not working on wm6.5)

I tried it and I like it, Is there a way to make a backup of my settings?
It seems the program doesnt work as i wished it would. I worked with it for a while and I like the concept alot, but there's a major flaw. Sometimes when I make adjustments to, lets say, my alarm settings (winmo clock/alarms setings), and when I press [ok] the window minimizes (I set the one click to minimize), there's no way you can apply the changes because it will keep on running on the background. If I choose to close it then the changes wont apply. This occurs to many other programs I use in simular occasions when you need to press [ok] to apply settings.
I would still have a solution to the HTC taskbar though. I think I would prefer it over the WkTask taskmanager.
I installed Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3 from stock rom. On the stock rom I was able to create a desktop shortcut to any contact, which would take me directly to the contact screen. In Cyanogen I try to create the same shortcut, but I can only get a "quick contact" version, meaning it acts like a widget by giving me options of call/contact/text/map. All I want is the old shortcut that takes me directly to the full screen contact when I click on the shortcut. Does anyone know if this is possible to do?
I looked at the source of ADW, and it seems like shortcut items are entries in ADW's database, so modifying files like you would on Windows seems out of the question.
Ok, i found only one app that can get the job done easily, after trying a few other popular shortcut apps. It's called xShortcut, and there were some bugs with it and cyanogen mod, but the developer was able to fix them after my feedback. As of this posting the market still has the old buggy version but I expect him to update the market soon.
