PocketCM Noob help

i searched a ton of the threads and have found a lot of these questions asked, but not answered. so please if anyone can help me i am clueless with this. i dont like to touch registry stuff unless i absolutely have to, but i am willing to DL other programs like SIPChange to get stuff to work. anyway:
1. i am able to send texts via PocketCM which i think is awesome, but when i get a text, my phone no longer vibrates like it used to be4 PocketCM took over. is there anything i can do to fix this?
2. related to that one, can i make PocketCM my default text app? cuz it still pops up as new text notification and if i hit reply it goes to the WM default one
3. since ive been screwing around trying to solve these myself... i held down the phone icon, bringing up a new set of tabs, and went to the one all the way to the left. that brought up the default contacts page. now when i click on contacts on my screen, it brings that up instead of the incredible PocketCM! this is heartbreaking since i want PocketCM to be my default everything. even if i restart PocketCM it now defaults back to the Windows Contacts page...
any help at all is appreciated, thanks in advance

put this command inside the settings.ini of the skin (.cmt) file.

1. Not sure without looking into it further.
2. On my device I disabled the new text notification. Its now setup that whenever a new text msg comes in it goes to the pocketcm sms screen. The most recent msg's are at the top. Not sure how to change the reply button though.
3. Happened to me.. did a soft reset and it was back to normal again. Give that a try.
Also pocketcm has a forum on their site (www.pocketcm.com). Might wanna try there if you don't get the answers.

3. soft reset worked! thank you.
2. thats a good idea ill do that and if anything it will trick me into thinking that PocketCM is my default
1. soft reset actually fixed this too, but im wary that it might change...
as for shekhar, what issue is that addressing? making PocketCM the default text app?
thanks a lot for your help

Remove "Start" Text?

Hey guys, I've been searching the forums and can't find a way to remove the start text. How do I do this?
Thanks

bump
if I wasn't specific enough, I don't want it to say Start on the today screen. I only want the windows logo to be there.
thanks

I searched a while back, couldn't find out how to do that either. I also wanted to removed the gradient background behind it on the home screen. That would allow me to use smarttook kit's auto-hide feature. Free home some home screen space and add a pretty cool affect. I don't know if it's in the registry or not, but I looked on my Excalibur and couldn't make it happen. I also tried a few things in the homescreens xml file. Still drew a blank.
Hopefully someone knows how to do this.

wisbar advance can do it

Possible in one of the "today*.dll" files. I tried to copy to desktop so I can take a look but can't gain access.
Anyone know how to get system files off a device?

What programs have you installed? Did you do any tweaking? Did you flash a new ROM? If you could give more information about your phone and when the problem first occurred it would be easier for the experts on the forum to diagnose the situation.
Did you try doing a soft reset yet?

flashed to 1.48wwe and have duttys task manager and the official sim contacts upgrade but that was put on after the ROM upgrade. the additional icons are just plain blue & white with the names underneath, but even when i delete the additional shortcuts they re appear!

Get this from the cabs link in my signature...
Touch X Permanently Delete Reappearing HTC Icons.cab
Install that and then use file explorer (or similar app) and go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. You will see the shortcuts in there - just delete them and they won't come back.
Hope this helps

Problem with some icons

Help me please, I have huge problem with some icons in my start menu!
Problem is that since last night I dont have those 5, if I can say normal-official icons named People, Calendar, Music, Footprint and Peep in my start menu, but I have some strange icons (white square with blue ribbon on the top of square) with new names HTC People, HTC Calendar, HTC Music, HTC Footprints and HTC Twitter in start menu.
Every time when I removed them (delete) from windows/start menu after every new restart of phone they are still there.
Does anybody knows how to remove that white square icons and to restore "normal" icons in my start menu folder in order to see them when I press start, or at least how to change look of that white icons, just to look like normal icons?

you have tried to move/delete read only files.look in the hints and tips thread for more information.

Where I can find that read only files.look, and will it solve my problem?

There's a lot of other information in there, but the answer to your question is in the hints and tips thread, linked in my sig.
I'd highly recommend reading through the tips in there. Like I said, there are a lot, but they're very useful and often the most commonly asked questions in new threads.
Goo lukc mate

Thanks I'll try to find answer there.
I hope I'll find right answer and solve problem without hard reset.

Definitely no need to hard reset for that!
As johnc.. has said, take a look at the tweaks and tips threads.

I did as johnc... said and I found how to move duplicated blanc icons and not to see them again but I couldn't find how to restore original icons of calendar, twetter, people, footprints and music to start menu.

Sense Icon Cache?? (Strange problem!)

Hello,
I'm not sure what is the best forum for this question, but I'll try here. I have the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 (latest stock ROM), but I'm sure this would be applicable to all HD2s.
In fact it would be applicable probably to any phones using the HTC Sense UI, which I believe is used on many phones, both WM and Android. (And that is related to something called Manila, I don't exactly understand the relationship of the two.) In any case, I don't see a forum specifically devoted to Sense or Manila (let me know if there is one), so I'll put it in the HD2 forum.
I should mention that I use Co0kie's Home Tab, and CHT Editor, in case that is relevant.
It is a minor problem, but it is bugging me, since I can't figure it out.
I changed the icon for an app shortcut, using the icon changer app CSMI, to an icon I from one of several icon sets I downloaded here at XDA.
It worked. Both in the start menu, and in the Quick Link, I saw the new icon.
Later though, I tried to change the icon for that app to a different one from those collections, also using CSMI. Seemed to work. The Start Menu now shows the icon that I just changed to.
But the Quick Link on my home screen still shows the first icon I changed to, not the recent change.
I deleted the Quick Link, and re-created it, still the first icon, not the new one. I rebooted the phone, still the first icon I had set with CSMI, not the new one. (Again though, the new one shows in the Start Menu, but the Quick Link always shows the first one.)
Next, I even moved the icon file of the first icon (the one that sticks on the QL) to a different location, thinking the system won't find it, and perhaps use the new one I set.
Even after rebooting again, deleting the Quick Link and recreating it, it sticks with the old (first one set with CSMI) icon, which now is not even in its original location, while the Start Menu still shows the new one.
What is going on???? Very strange behavior. This has vexed me for hours now. (I really shouldn't be wasting my time on it, but I'm determined to figure it out.)
Does Sense (Manila) have its own Icon cache somewhere (for use in Quick Links), which somehow is very stubborn in sticking with the previous icon for that app in its Quick Links, and not reading the new one?
If so, is there a way to reset it, rebuild it, so it will see the current Start Menu icons?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

I know that jwmd icon changer has a sense icon cache clearance option. I'm not sure about the app you are using.

Go with file explorer or Total Commander on your HD2 to Application Data/ HTC/ ProgLauncher and delete the bmg file of your program. After a restart of the HD2 you will have got the new pic.
Also you can delete all files inside this folder and refresh all pictures. Don´t worry...nothing will be deleted, the folder reloads the actual designs of your program starters after reset.

I would advise switching to jwmd icon changer, then you can clear the ca cache from within the app as soon as you change the icons....
