My question is simple . How do we select multiple live tiles for unpin or uninstall or even forming a group ? Is there a way at all ? Because i tried it with all known gestures in my kb and mouse and nothing works as of now.
Right click on them.
Right click one the items you want to select. You can only unpin multiple items, but not uninstall or group them.
Thanks for that. Is there a way to create a space between groups of icons?

Would be nice to know which software you use and which tray you mean.
The easiest way is this:
Start...Settings...Today...Items
Here you can scroll and pick the items you want.
Hope this helped!
if he mean the button bar of the pda
then there is no default way
some programs add icons there
maybe you can search for an application which let the user
add icons there themselfs
Hi all!
I just installed the AT&T leaked test ROM + XboxMod Rhodium. I like the fact that the "Programs" TF3D tab is gone and instead pressing the Windows Start will bring me to my favorite apps.
However, the "All Programs" soft-button still flattens the contents of //Windows/Start Menu . There are many apps there to begin with and I'll have a crapload more installed soon - I don't want to flick through a long, flat list to run what I want. Frankly, I find it rather annoying to do that every time. I will be adding my most frequently used apps/games/utils to the favorites, but that has limited space.
So, here are my ideas for improvements (I wish I could hack it together myself, but I have neither the time, nor the in-depth knowledge):
1) The "All Programs" list should have an alphabetical vertical scroll, similar to the new "All People" list: touch a letter to go to the apps starting with that letter.
2) Make the "All Programs" list follow the folder hierarchy of //Windows/Start Menu with sub-lists. I can then re-arrange //Windows/Start Menu to my liking and it'd be instantly reflected in "All Programs".
3) Add the capability to add shortcuts to folders on the favorite apps button panel itself. Right now it allows me to add apps only from the "All Programs" list.
The above solutions are not mutually exclusive.
Basically, I am looking for a more organized, finger-friendly way to launch programs.
PS: Yes, I have used QuickMenu before, which I found to be a very good solution, unfortunately, it's not very finger-friendly and it doesn't fit into the TF3D2 theme and user experience at all.
This would be a fantastic enhancement to the Rhodium TF3D experience.
My additional/alternative requests would be more simple & straight-forward:
- Identify the exe for the WinMo Start screen, and create a .lnk to it and add it to programs folder, allowing me to set one of my favorites in Rhodium Start screen to be a link to the traditional WinMo Start Menu experience.
- In the All Programs TF3D screen, add a right soft-key to launch the traditional WinMo Start experience

Good news: someone already did point 2 and 3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442341)
Bad news: it does not work on new devices with VGA and WVGA display.
Hello everybody. I've got two unrelated questions...
1)In a number of programs that use list views, e.g. contacts, messaging, notes... you can select more than one item by either dragging your stylus across the items you want to select or click on menu and then edit> select all or several. but what if the items you want to select are not in order? I wonder if there's any way you can do that akin to Windows desktop use of control clicking the items you want to select. in my previous E90, you could do that by holding ctrl while selecting the items....
2) I can't seem to paste any rss URL in the appropriate field in the Sony Ericsson Panels, I find myself having to manually type in the address even though I copy the address in Opera and go to the field and hold-tap the screen untill I get the "paste" menu item then i click on it, but nothing is pasted, is this a bug?? thanks in advance......
If the manipulations you want to do are on files, Total Commander (a file explorer) has a ctrl button along the bottom of the screen. Just use it like you use in Windows.
Thanks a lot man... any answer to the 2nd question???
Is there a way to create a folder/s in the menu and put the applications on it ?
I want to put all of my games (icons) into 1 folder called games.
And some applications into another folder.
Im using CM7 btw..
Thanks.
There are a few apps that allow you to put apps into folders - normally for the homescreen, but actually having folders, a-la windows 6.5, i havent seen im afraid.
Yea, the folderes r not in the home screen.
In the menu, when window button pressed, there is Setup Group option, but when i choose it, it says "You can not setup this group"
Thanks for ur answer btw kinsago
You have to create a new group, then set it up. You can't edit the original group. After you make the new group you can exclude apps though. I still wish there was a way to put folders in the app drawer though, it's a mess with a ton of apps all just thrown in there alphabetically.

Exactly.
So no way to do this at all ?..
You can make a new group/catalog (let's call it "Games") using menu at app drawer. Then scroll right - you'll see empty screen. Now you can setup this group - by choosing which applications (games) should be visible on it. This way you've got main screen with all aplications, but by scrolling horizontal you can choose another groups with chosen apps (Games, Office and so on)
I also do not know any way to create folders at main App drawer screen
Yea, i got it.
The problem is the app icon not moved to the group, still in the main App drawer, just like copying instead of cut.
Here is a list of 10 tweaks for Windows 8, shamelessly stolen from This Website, ill give a brief overview of them below but since I didn't find these myself I think it only fair that you visit the original site for the full story,
The funky animation one is pretty dam cool and the wee tool found on the link for it is the best way to edit those settings, I found the recommended settings adequate
1. Run Automatic Maintenance on a Schedule
By default, it runs them at 3AM, or if you're using your computer, the next time your computer becomes idle. You can change this time in the Action Center, as well as tell Windows whether you want to wake your computer up to perform these tasks.
2. Customize the Apps in the Search Bar
Bring up the Charms bar (with Win+C), click Settings, and go down to "Change PC Settings." From there, choose Search from the left sidebar, and turn off the apps you don't want taking up space in this menu.
3. Enable the Hidden "Aero Lite" Theme
You can still find it in the Themes folder on your computer.
4. Enable the Secret Start Screen Animation
When you first sign onto Windows 8, you get a very cool animation of all your tiles filling up the screen. After that, though, the Start screen has a much more toned down animation. If you want to enable the cooler animation for every launch of the Start screen, you can do so with a simple Registry tweak found Here.
5. Customize More Icons in Windows Explorer
Windows 8 now lets you customize your Library icons right from its settings. Just right-click on the Library, go to Properties, and you should see the option to change the library's icon right at the bottom
6. Create and Name App Groups on the Start Screen
You can do so by clicking the small button in the bottom-right corner of the screen and then right-clicking on the groups.
7. Take Faster Screenshots
If you press Win+Print Screen (or Win+Volume Down on a tablet), Windows will take a screenshot of your screen and automatically save it in your Pictures folder as a PNG file.
8. Tweak the Number of Rows on the Start Screen
You can tweak this number by editing the Registry, see Here for details
9. Hide Recent Files from Your Jump Lists
To access the preferences, just right-click on the Taskbar, go to Properties, and click the Jump Lists tab.
10. Get More Out of Your Multiple Monitors
If you have multiple monitors, you've probably noticed that Windows extends your taskbar across both screens. It does more than just that, though: you can press Win+PgUp to move your current app to your left monitor, and Win+PgDn to move it to the right monitor. In addition, if you go to the Desktop Background section of your Personalization settings, you can right-click on any individual wallpapers and choose which monitor you'd like it to show up on. Of course, if you like things the old way, you can also turn off the dual taskbar in Taskbar Properties
11. How to make your own Windows 8 "Metro" Shortcuts
Fairly straight forward and obvious way to make your Metro shortcuts, example Here shows you how
12. Various tips and tweaks
This site has gone to great lengths to get a list together for many tweaks, many of them focus on removing what makes Windows 8 good, ill have a look through them all in time and will repost the good ones, but for now there's all sorts to look at from changing the size of the header bar and borders (pretty handy!) to various ways of adding old style "start menus"
If anyone else has any other funky tips, (if stolen please provide links to source) please pop them on a post and ill update the first post, makes sense to keep this stuff together I guess!
