How to change location of CALENDAR AND CONTACTS for softkeys

Hey guys,
I need to switch the location of my contacts and calendar for my softkeys, anyone know how to do that?

Here is the location in the registry:
hkcu/software/microsoft/today/keys/112
This is for the calendar. Change "default" to the text you want displayed and "open" to the path of the app.
If it doesn't exist, create a new key called 113 under:
hkcu/software/microsoft/today/keys
same setup under 113 as 112.

Here's a slightly easier way of doing it. Download this file, rename the extension to .cpl and put in your \windows folder, soft-reset and then goto Start -> Settings -> System -> Soft-Key
See next below for the cab.

Here it is in Cab file for those who prefer a 'one-click' solution....

The control panel item in the cab kyphur attached above is integrated into the custom Cingular ROMs 2.24 and above...that I build anyway.

When I use it to set a soft key for New SMS or New MMS, it says canot find file. Any idea how to resolve?
I'm using the QTEK 2.17 ROM

Was it present in Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST.exe or perhaps added to the followup? I don't see the shortcut present in Start --> Settings --> System.
I don't particularly want it, but am more curious why I don't see it and wondering if there's anything more than just the radio ROM different between the two builds.
Thanks for all your hard work on this! I'm on record as the first to kiss your @$$ in my tagline. Though that guy offering to have your kids & seahorse stuff - well, that was a pretty strong show of support even if a bit spooky. I thought it might be cool if others running your custom ROMs did the same with their tags and you could see the positive impact on the community by a show of raw numbers. :mrgreen:

just wondering im trying to map my left softkey to new sms and well it says cant find tnsms does any one know how to fix that or no

Summiter:
First, let me kneel, grovel, worship, etc. The new ROM is awesome!
However...
In the Softkey program that you included, you need to change the name of the file that "Calendar" accesses to just 'Calendar.exe', not 'HTCCalendar.exe'. (on the 8125, anyway).
Haven't tried the rest of the soft key functions, but that one had a little problem. Easy enough to fix:
HKCU
Software
Microsoft
Today
Key 113 (at least, on my machine, might be different...),
change the "Open" value to \windows\Calendar.exe.

Put the attached file in your \Windows folder and soft reset. Then you shoud be able to assign a soft-key to "New SMS" and it will work.

It's in test2..my bad. The radio and the softkey applet are the only things added to test2.
I don't need any thanks. I do like to see folks learning and asking productive questions though.

If you want to remove the softkey program, how do you do it? I can't delete the .cpl file from /Windows for the life of me. Thanks.
(Softkey is quite buggy... plus a lot of it's mappings are incorrect. Even if I edit the registry and change the mapping, softkey changes it back to the incorrect mapping upon soft-reset).

i might be needing this..

[REQ] WM6.5 - fixing the SIP Menu!

Hi,
I realize that this question was asked a million times on the forum, but I've been looking for a solution since yesterday and just can't find it
Can anyone tell me how can I change the default touch input language (T9) on Windows Mobile 6.5? I'm using the Rhodium Manila with the new Keyboard and I have by default english language (I'd like to have polish).
I cannot change this in any way. I've tried to do it by registry in several keys, but it won't work.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey,
for me this worked:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3865875&postcount=362
else you can change HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip\BioToShowMenu to 1 (in registry) and wait for few seconds.. (not more than 10sec) that "starts" the sip-menu, and you can click on your language
maybe it says [unknown] in the menu, then click there, that brings you to the language submenu
hope that helps you

Great! It helped, thanks a lot

Sorry for the double post, just wanted everyone to notice it
I've made a cab, which changes the registry value (thanks to tomoffel), so that you have easy access to the SIP Menu. I tried to do it as a reg file, but it would require some additional program to run it.
Just install it (don't mind if it shows 'The installation was unsuccesful') and voila
The cab is rather only for WM6.5, where the SIP menu is hidden.

great idea! Thank you!
just poping up the SIPmenu after "installation"?
btw. found the BioToShowMenu entry by playing around in the registry, don't know if this was known befor maybe that helps to fix the SIP menu in 6.5?

Yeah, exactly I thought that changing the reg value everytime I want to change the language or keyboard type is a but uncomfortable. It's a pity though that running reg files requires some additional software, because it would be faster.
That's some nice discovery of you with that reg value I'm not that so much in WM, but I hope this can help!

Ok, here's the other way. You have to install an app (FdcSoft Task Manager), it will associate reg files, so that after clicking one the reg value will be changed.
Here's the reg file content:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\]
"BioToShowMenu"=dword:00000001
The last line must be empty!
Credits for finding the reg key go to tomoffel
And here's the ready file in the attachment.

great and awesome! works like a charm

Good to know Here's another upgrade to access the menu faster - just do a shorcut and put it into start or assign a hardkey for it

I assigned the shortcut to GScrolls Launch function now wenn I tap back and center, the SIP-Menu comes up! Thank you again
now you/we/the uber pros just have to find a way how the "SIP-Button" shows that menu.. but it looks like nobody is interesstet :/
Offtopic:
can you add new words to the xt9 database? This never worked for me :/ neither after hardrest nor after installing another sip that uses the xt9 :/ (just ask because I see you use the same ROM )

That's a good idea with assigning the menu to GScroll, will try it myself
I noticed already yesterday that adding new words to t9 doesn't work It could be an issue with the rom we are using. Would be nice to have some feedback from anyone with a different rom...

yes.. pretty poor nobody on the ROM thread could give me an answer :/ I will play a little with the registry and file from ezSIP maybe I'll find another "solution"

icon problems

im trying to change my icons on the manila but only some of them change does anyone know how to fix this proble thanks

Which icons have you changed and which ones are not changing?

the weather and the calender changed but the others did not music, internet search, settings, people,home

What program are you using to change the icons?
I have been using cfc-gui to change my icons and they are grouped together depending on what they are (i.e. - tray, hero, people screen, weather screen, etc.).
Are you trying to change your "tray" and "hero" icons or icons within each tab?

no programs just cabs from different people on this site

You're not making the rookie mistake that I made and installing a cab (to change the icons) on top of one that is already installed?

yup, so what do I do? Help me learn

Just uninstall all of them and soft reset. You should be okay.

how do i do that? where do i go

Click the Start button in the upper left hand corner.
Start>Settings>System>Remove Programs
Select a program and click "Remove" in the bottom right hand of the screen.

sorry for the missunderstanding i knwhow to remove programs i want to change the icons but i dont know why only some changed and would like all of them changed

It depends on the cabs. Some people change all of them and some only change some. For instance, my cab that I have installed doesn't change the photo, music, or AT&T tabs because I didn't include them in the changes.

can anyone post these? im trying to change the calendar and history icon under my clock.

You need to edit a manila file for that.
Its this one 1bbfdc9b_manila

No way he can do that
Reason he intalled diferent themes on top of others so soon he uninstalles one wen he gos for the next on there will be an error cause windows will not find a second backup of the original.
Sorry to tell you but you need to hard reset your device.

for anyone trying to modify there manila icons.
Use CFC Gui.
Intructions easy way.
Connect you phone on Sync to you device start CFC GUI should be a options to extract all manila files from you phone.
After that you will see all kind of images change the one you want then send it to you phone from CFC GUI more instruction on CFC Gui threat.
Hope i help you all

So it won't just uninstall what it can "find" and not worry about what it doesn't?
Also, when unintalling a program/theme, how does it know what to revert back to? Are the original files not overwritten/deleted?

Extra Favorite Icons! [Programs] [Manila/Sense]

Hi everyone, I've recently figured out how to get more of the "+" icons [You know, the ones in Manila/Sense in the Programs menu]. I am working on making a .CAB with the registry changes, however I just wanted to make sure my time is not wasted - I checked the forums decently, not extensively, so please could some of the veteran members please tell me if this has already been done and my workk would be useless.
I'll make a brief tutorial or How-To if this has not been discussed before, and what you need to get more "Favorite" tabs. [I'm at 60 from 30]
Just let me know! Thanks!
~~Bradley
Yes, one request is enough
Before I give you thee code, please note that if you don't wait foor my cab [assuming I have any clue what I'm doing] this will be time consuming. I'm working right now, so I can only give you brief hhow-to for now, but I will update it to a full version later.
Go into your favorite registry editor [I suggest PHM Reg Edit]
The registry file is
[HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]
HKLM ---> SOFTWARE ---> HTC ---> Manila ---> ---> Program Launcher
Or the direct place is just
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Once there, you should have keys number 0-29 [30 total]
Just make new keys [I suggest starting at 30 and working your way up] and once you make those, you need to copy/paste the string values
"DispName"
and the value
"Path"
You need to paste these into EVERY new key you make. Also, while you're editing this, go into the key value of ProgramLauncher and change the "totalItemCount" [Only Dword i nthe list, down at the bottom] to something higher than 30, whatever total number of icons you're going to make.
Once you have copy/pasted all of the appropriate values to your new keys, you must be advised that pressing the "+" button on your new icons will NOT work, you have to do them manually. This is where I suggest you download mymobiler [http://www.mymobiler.com/] it will make the addition of programs much faster.
Anyway, what you need to do is edit the paths to the programs you want using this code in the value box.
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\.lnk
Whatever program you want there [Say Pocket Uno] you just put between the last \ and .lnk. It will look like this
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Pocket Uno.lnk [You have to do the spaces - Exactly how it appears on your programs list]
Now, that will link it to your Pocket Uno Game, but it won't let you play it till you add a display name. I changed mine from Pocket Uno to just Uno for the heck of it. Anywho, it won't link it untill you have SOME display name.
I'm sorry I didn't explain it better, but I must be on my way for now, will do a full walkthrough later.

I would like to see this. thanks

There you go, I apologize for the lack of coherency.. Will proof what I've written and overall rewrite it later.. I'll answer any questions y'all may have. Just ask!
~~Bradley

this sounds just like my extended startmenu with 48 icons and 4 in a row (Touch X program tab 4 row 48 slots.cab)
for manila 2.1 with weather (sense 2.1) found in this thread
Please correct me if im wrong! and the + will work to add apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4802028&postcount=2

Now, you correct me if I'm wrong!
Yours is an alternative to manila, with the exception of Touch X Restore Sense 1.0 manila cab, which I'm quite honestly not sure what it does.. at all, it just says you "can now customize the **** out of it!"
What my registry edits do is simply add to the number of favorites already there..
Now, you answer Because I have no idea what your item does!

smaberg is correct.
If you want to just add the programs with the + without having to deal with creating shortcuts, and doing all the registry stuff, just install the first cab (Extended Startmenu) from the link posted - it's great!
Edit: You can then also apply a reg fix for 64 icons as per the link below (sorry, not sure how to display the link in a shortened form)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534596&page=2

If thats true then, good work I just got my first winmo phone about 2 1/2 weeks ago! So good work, this can just serve for someone who wants to do it the old fashion way, I try to do reg edits instead of cabs when I can.. just for the heck of it
Thanks guys!

HD2 Telstra ROM Tweak - Default Splash Screen for Opera

Hi guys,
Got another tweak for you Telstra HD2 owners still running the stock ROM. This cab will remove the bigpond splash screen when you load up Opera and enable the default 'HTC: quietly brilliant' logo instead.
There are 2 files attached: one which keeps the animated progress bar during Opera startup and one which removes it. Personally I like the one which removes it, but you have the option to try both.
Again, each cab just makes the required registry changes and nothing more. Changes should work straight away, no reset required.
Note: This will NOT remove the Bigpond logo from the Internet tab. If anyone has an idea of how to change this back to the original, pleas let me know

thx so much for this, anyone know how to remove quicklinks to apps from telstra on apps page

Can you just give me the registry changes needed so i dont have to use the CAB?

Yes mate...
HKLM\Software\Opera\Info
Set SplashProgressAnimation to 1 for on or 0 for off.
Just for future reference, you can unzip cab files and the xml file inside tells you what all the other files actually are, and also lists any registry changes.

Do you mean the quicklinks on the homepage are locked? if so, in the registry find
hklm/software/HTC/manila/home
You will see lots of numbered folders, these are the quicklinks.
lets say the shortcut is in the first left hand square, thats 0, so look in the 0 folder, look down for the entry IsReadOnly. If that is set to 1, the quicklink is locked. change it to 0 and you can remove the quicklink.
