Everytime i press the calendar softkey it defaults to day view, i then have to change it to month view. Checking the calendar later the view will revert to day view. I have tried changing my outlook view on my pc to month view (which is what i have anyway) but this has no affect.
Is there a reg tweak for this?

yes, there is. I use Agenda Fusion, the app for the week view is \Program Files\Agenda Fusion\FusionViewWeek.exe. This has to go in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open. Don't remember if I had to do a soft reset after changing the value.
:arrow: Be advised: This only works with Agenda Fusion; for other software, use the appropriate path and file name.[/b]

thanks for your help but i thing you have misunderstood my request, i would prefer to continue using the standard calendar that comes pre-installed on the device rather than use a third party app. I just want it to default to month view when i open it.[/quote]
Yes, I understood you. I don't know how the internal calendard handles week and different views; if it's with a different .exe, you can use this solution. Otherwise, try switching to a different view and look at changed settings in the registry.

that sounds like a good idea, where in the registry would you recommend i look? (i can make changes to the registry but i just dont know where everything is if you know what i mean)
Make a shortcut to:
Code:
poutlook.exe calendar -vm

Good tip vijay
If you want to map left softkey to this link - then place link in \windows say 'Calendar Month.lnk'
and then edit registry
HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112\
'open' value name = ''\windows\calendar month.lnk''
and soft reset
Calendar month view cab
Always have month view appear when you press calendar softkey
I put together a cab that will automatically do this for you.
Install and soft reset
also included are day view or agenda view versions - unzip to find the cab
So...
Does that mean there is NOT a reg tweak we can implement? I would rather the calendar ALWAYS open to month view no matter how I load the calendar.
Thanx.

Yes there is a reg tweak and it is detailed above - the cab does the reg tweak and installs a lnk file so it always opens on month view on softkey use but not on today calendar tapping. Is that what you wanted as well?
Yes.
In fact, I'm not at all interested in the softkey approach. I am just wanting a reg tweak that will force the calendar (no matter how I get to it) to default to the month view.
Thanx.
dma97701: There's no global override in the registry.
First, understand the idea: to launch the calendar, the OS runs PocketOutlook, with a command line "calendar", thus
Code:
poutlook.exe calendar
To force this to launch in month view, you need to launch
Code:
poutlook.exe calendar -vm
Now, you need to edit this wherever you want to launch the calendar from - whether that's a today screen launcher, start menu, soft key, hardware key, whatever. There's no global override in the registry.
So, to do this for the start menu, find your "Calendar.lnk" file and edit the properties of the shortcut, using a good fileexplorer like GSFinder.
To do this for the softkeys, do the above anyway, and then point the registry key
Code:
HKCU\software\microsoft\today\keys\112\
to the above Calendar.lnk.
If you JUST want the softkey method, use Mark's enclosed cab file, which will do the whole thing for you if you're uncomfortable with editing the registry.

Odd!!
I have the opposite problem! When I press the Calendar softkey it defaults to Month view - I actually want it to default to Agenda. If I tap the Today screen directly it stays in whatever view I last had Calendar in. Maybe the firmware affects how the softkey functions? I'm using the latest T-Mobile UK ROM.
Any ideas how I can set the softkey to open in Agenda view?
Cheers,
Tim
poutlook.exe calendar -va
poutlook.exe calendar [-vx] [-dx] [-new]
Parameters
-vx
Specifies the view to display. x can be a = agenda view, d = day view, w = week view, m = month view, y = year view, and l = lunar view (on builds that support lunar calendars).
-dx
Specifies the date to view. x can be either a date, or an offset in days. The date format is yyyymmdd. For example, -d20050102 represents 01/02/2005. The offset format is [-]x, where x ranges from -999 to 999. For example, -d-3 represents three days ago, and -d5 represents five days from now.
-new
Opens an edit card for a new Appointment or a new Meeting Request.

Shortcut does nothing??
Thanks for the reply. If I create a shortcut to "\Windows\poutlook.exe calendar -vm" or even just "\Windows\poutlook.exe calendar" it doesn't do anything at all. If I just create a shortcut to "poutlook.exe" it does nothing, but at least explorer recognises it as a shortcut (which it doesn't if I have any parameters after the exe at all).
I'm using Total Commander to edit the shortcut and have tried putting it in quote marks, putting the Windows folder in the path, leaving out "calendar", putting it in, adding a dash (poutlook.exe -calendar) and nothing's working! What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again,
Tim
In GSFinder it looks like this:
Code:
"poutlook" calendar -va
opening it directly in Notepad, your .lnk should look like this:
Code:
27#"poutlook.exe" calendar -va

On mine if I start the calendar with either the soft key or the hard key
and it defaults to whatever view is set in the menu.
Startup calendar, in the bottom right of the screen click on MENU/VIEW
and choose the view you want ie: Month,Agenda etc.
On mine it sticks to that view even after a reset.
Dave...
Working!
Brilliant, thanks everyone. The problem was that I hadn't put quote marks around the exe. Changed the shortcut and set the registry key and it works perfectly! Interestingly, the softkey was preset to use something called "HTCCalendar.exe" in \Windows - and that's what always defaults to the Month view.
Cheers,
Tim
thanks for all your help guys, thats exactly what i wanted.
excellant hack!! I had been wondering if there was a way to do that. The day view is useless to me. Month view is where the money's at. 8)

I want to create an icon for Phone Alarm, but as you all know, it is installed as a today plug-in. How can I create an icon of Phone Alarm to be able to activate it immediately without going through the system today plug-in settings?

One way, that is, if you want to create an icon on the Tray...look for PHM_Tray_Launch.

Thanks for the response. I believe Vijay has a similar app, but would it be able to launch a today icon like Phone Alarm?
what program would that be that places an item in the today icons?
thanks in advance

How To: add an icon to an exe file

I was able to do this by making a shortcut on the today screen to "\Windows\clock.exe" -launch but there in no icon there...I have been trying to add and icon by 53# "\Windows\clock.exe" -launch?\Windows\clockdll.dll,0 but I guess that is not where the clock icon is?
I am just a newbie but was wondering if anyone new how to add an icon to an exe file? Thanks for reading.
cktlcmd - I don't understand what you're asking for. You want to "activate" phonealarm? In what way? You mean activate its options screen, or add it to the today screen as if you just installed it, or just add an icon to an executable like launching "Contacts" from a button?
Working backwards: generally for making a launcher on the PPC, I recommend claunch. It has issues >= WM5, but is still one of the best launchers.
I also recommend SPB Mobile shell for this.
For adding items to the tray, use PHM Tray Launch. I made an app, but there's no reason to recommend it more then PHM's, which is better.
For adding a today plugin to the today screen, eg to make an icon that will add or remove an item from the today screen, you need to either use a mort script or a registry app and import or remove the necessary registry entries from your Today registry keys.
To "launch" phonealarm, an easy way is to spoof keypresses to the today plugin. Best way to do this if you're not a programmer is to use mortscript to send a key click to the today screen.
Let me know if you needed something else.

I've recently run into an issue with adding new application shortcuts.
When I use the add program shortcut feature, it displays the majority of my apps, with the exception of a few new ones I've added. And I'm noticing it shows a few applications I uninstalled through AppManager. Specifically, the Chapelle - Rick James sound board, and Penguin.
When I browse through AppManager both apps no longer show.
So my question would be is there any way to refresh the application shortcut menu? It seems to have gotten stuck.
I'm running ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 / liberated_aria_b005_signed.
So nobody out there is having problems creating new shortcuts except me?
Hi,
since i updated my DHD with the OTA update, i can see ALL pictures that are in the phone's memory in the picture galery app..
is there a way to told the picture galery to ignore some folders..
MOD edit: Moved to General
Cheers,
M_T_M
Yes. Add empty file called
.nomedia
In the folder
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
or when you load up gallery, click menu and show/hide folders then untick what folders you dont want to show
the main idea is to prevent friends/child or whatever to see pics that are not for them (like a sexy girlfriend for example)
the hide menu in galery is too easy ...
there is no password or something like that, so if you share your phone for 1 min to someone, he can found the hidden albums in 10 secs ....
I'll try the nomedia hopping that it will do the work...
One last question: how to remove the thumbnails without deleting the content ?
the .nomedia trick worked ...
but i needed to put this file on the parent directory, not the directory containing the pictures

hmm when i start gallery and klick on menu nothing happens, no menu is comming up. i wanna exclude some folders. how can i change that, is there any other way?
is the menu not coming up because its still loading/refreshing?
Update: wow its tricky to get this menu opened up...
i tried to put the .nomedia file in the parent folder, but it doesnt work....
i also cleared the cache of gallery, and after startup the same again.
i would like to uncheck some "system - pictures" wich i dont need in gallery
Question:
is there a programme, which actually shows the folder structure for pictures.
like my pictures -> test -> test1
-> test2
because gallery shows only
my pictures
test
test1
test2
I installed and application called hide it pro today (free) from market, it lets you hide anything with a password. Installs as 'audio manager' and there is a hidden button in that to get to the login screen. Pretty nice!

When I load gallery, if I hit menu nothing happen.
Then I select 'All photos' then hit menu and only 3 buttons appears: 'slide show', 'Define as', 'Select reader'.
So nothing about 'show/hide folders'. Where do you find that ??
Thanks
Other way to hide folder from gallery is to name it ".anyfoldername"
The dot in the beginning is the key. My windows computer would not let me create such folder, so I made one in my phone and then moved files to it from a computer.
By the way, in Gallery all photos are displayed 'flat' whatever the folder hierachy is.
In other word, I cannot browse photos by folder they belong to.
It was possible in my previous Magic with many different ROMs (stock 1.6, Cyanogen,...).
This is quite anoying because I have +400 photos stored in +10 folders.
Scroll down and there you should be able to see the folders...

I had to delete application data through Application settings for it to rescan.
It found my folders

yeah pretty useless too
the files are accessible uncrypted in a .myVault folder ^^
i first througth the password was crypting the files (because it took some time)
but no the files are freely visible
ok at least there are not in the galery
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.
