[Q] [Request] Internet Explorer Quick-selection - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hey everybody!
Is it possbile to have a Quick-selection for the Internet-Explorer or Browser we're using as we had it with WM 6.5?
For me that was a very good solution to have a quick access to the very favorite pages!

Yea if you add it as a favourite... Then long press the favourite in the list ... You can pin to start..
Edit scrap that... Just open up the webpage and press the menu dots at the bottom and it then allows you to pin to start

I was thinking about something like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

well you do get that..
just browse to the site you want and press the 3 dots at the bottom and pin to start..
it's exactly the same...

Ok... that works!
But I don't want to have everything on my Start-page....
Anyway I found a solution - not the best but it works!
There is a Opera App (Opera Link) available.
You need a account at Opera and than you can sync. favorites an quick selections...
Works for the moment but - now you need several tools to sync one mobile phone how stupid is that?

Phone app path

Hi,
I'm trying to remap my left softkey to the phone application.
What path do I need to find the Phone application? I can't find it.
Just te be clear:
I'd like my left soft key on the today screen to link to this app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Where can I find the right path?
Errrm...why do you want a softkey link to the Phone? just pressing the dial button will start it...
anyway, Phone is somewhere in the Windows directory if I remember correctly(I recall seeing it there once...).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Old habits I guess, I want a Phone button on my screen.
I can't find one in the Windows directory (latest PDAViet rom).
I just fixed it by linking to
\Windows\Start Menu\Phone.lnk
That's a way to have it work too...

Creating a simple Calendar App - need help

Dear bros,
I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.
Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.
This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help
I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.
Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.
Thanks once again!
Cheers.

Skyfire websites shortcut on today screen

I have AT&T tilt with WM 6.1 rom. I'm using skyfire everyday. One of a kind!
I'm watching this website www.kab.tv most of the time while i'm driving.
so, I have to fire up the skyfire by touching the icon on my tray in the bottom of the screen, then I have to wait 30 seconds for it to get to the homepage, then i'm touching the bookmarks and after few second I can choose my website.
It's kind of not safe to do that while I'm driving
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any way to have a website shortcut or some plugin on/for the today screen?
all I wish is to touch the icon on the today screen and have my website open without doing all of the above.
I know jB5 browser has the ability to have 3 shortcut on the today screen.
Thanks
you are right, thats not a safe method but watching videos while drivings is never safe
you need a plugin/launcher or a GUI with icons that can open a exe like "skyfire.exe" with a parameter like "http:\\www.yahoo.com". i think there are many apps out here.
Can you please name one? so I'll know what to look for. Thanks.
you may try ultimate launch,but it s not for free....
i set a tab with my bookmarks, you just need skyfire to be your default browser

Big Finger help required!

Hi, i've been the owner of a windows mobile phone for only a short while now, but one thing i noticed is the querty keyboard.
Now the point is, i have realy big fingers ( ) so i cannot hit all keys well enough.
Recently my girlfriends sister got a new phone which has a default(see the pic) numeric type keyboard but on touchscreen.
What i was wondering, is there anything like it for windows mobile?
I am running windows mobile 6.1 by the way
Seems im not yet allowed to use images or links in my posts, just remove the space between h & ttp
