Change the program which is started by 'manila'

Hello.
I've searched a lot, but failed to find anything which solves my problem.
Is there a way to change the program which is launched by 'manila'?
E.g.
I've installed 'Pocket Informant' as my favorite agenda application.
Even if I set Pocket Informant to my default calendar application, the standard calendar is launched when I touch on schedules at the home screen in TF3D.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA

Thx a lot.

Anyone Using PI 9.01 On the HD2

Has anyone installed PocketInformant 9.01 on to their HD2? If so, any issues? Can you make PI the default Calendar for the Home Screen?
Thanks.

Hi,
I use PI 9 on my HD2. No issues so far. I have put the PI icon in a tab on the homescreen and unchecked the box for the normal calender-tab.

Just to make sure I understand you...You were able to turn off the default Calendar on the bottom tabs and add the PI link instead? I didn't realize that you could ADD links to the bottom tabs; I thought you could only remove them. Can you send a screen shot?
Thanks.

Hi there,
No, I didn't explain it good.
The tabs with Contacts, SMS, Mail, Internet etc you can't change. I just unchecked the Calender tab for those tabs so you won't see it. When you leave it in the tabs, it's just the normal Windows calender whats in it, even when you make PI your default calender.
So as I said, I 'disabled' the normal calender tab, and I put a shortcut to PI on the frontpage under the clock.
Hope this explains it for you.
Cheers.

Ahhh, that's what I thought. Thanks.
softkey
Or the PI link under the left soft key (normally "telephone") so you have an extra tab/button/shortcut. The telephone can already be activated by the left hard key (or via contact). In PI I use the calender, as the task is quite hard to ues with the Leo. It;s virtually impossible to key in a date in a new task. And contacts is less good than all the new fuctionalities is Sense. But the calendar is worth it,now you can go up/down/left and right. Amazing.

HTC Bookmark Widget - Change order of bookmarks?

Guys
I think I already know the answer to this question (no!!!) but ill ask anyway. Is there any way to change the order that the bookmarks appear in the HTC bookmark widget.
Every time i add a bookmark it gets placed up top moving the more used bookmarks below the actual visibility line i.e. google - which id rather have at the top.
Any thoughts?
All sorted used an app called Bookmark Backup & Restore (Bookmark BR) - it gives option to rearrange bookmarks which is reflected within the widget

Calendar Problem

Hello, i have the 2.2.2 version and i have a problem with the layout of the default google calendar app.
I used the Hi Suite to import appointments and such from MS Outlook and it worked fine. The problem is this: In the 7day view for instance, if a day has up to 3 items (anniversaries or birthdays etc, without time set) they show ok in a small font size on the top of the column, BUT if there are more than 3 items, the little blue item boxes get even smaller and lose the text. So i don't know what notifications i have for a day with 4 of them, just that i have 4 notifications.
I couldn't find any settings entry to change the view a bit, anyone has come across this problem? Also i tried another calendar app (Jorte) and some widgets for the home screen (Cal, Smooth Calendar) but the default app is better looking imo and a solution with that would be ideal.
PS: if you notice in the screens, even if one day of the week loses the text, it "destroys" the other days too. so i'm guessing it is a software bug and not a feature that can be changed
PS2: if it is indeed a problem without a simple solution that i just don't know of, can anyone having the 2.3 version try and replicate it there in case they fixed it?
thanks, d.
I don't have a solution, but got the same thing with 2.2.1

Google Calendar access

Many people may know this already but I was surprised to find that the NST/G and Opera Mobile are totally capable of accessing the online Google Calendar "app". Some of the interface elements are a bit small, but you can always resort to a stylus as a last resort. Here's how I got there:
1. Use another mobile device browser to access the Google home page. You need to be signed in on the browser to the account for the calendar you want. Access the calendar "app" from the 3x3 square of dots on the right portion of the screen near the top.
2. From your browsers options choose "share" and then email the calendar URL to yourself (your NST/G).
3. Make sure you are signed in to the same account on the Opera Mobile browser.
4. Pick up the email on your NST/G and tap on the link. Opera Mobile opens and you eventually get to the Calendar page. It defaults to "day" view (pretty uninspiring), but you can change to "month" and any entries for the current date will be listed below the calendar display. You can also make new entries or delete entries. And, of course, you can add the page to your speed dial or make a bookmark.
Clearly this is not the same or as functional as having a Calendar app, but it does work without GApps (or with) and it does allow interaction with your calendar from the NST/G.
For a lark I tried a bunch of the other online "apps" in the same fashion. Contacts crashed out of Opera immediately, Google Drive spun and spun but never showed any contents, Books looked promising at first try but refused to actually display the contents of a book, Google News managed to sort of display headline news--best in landscape--but could not access other categories and in general performed poorly. So the Calendar behavior is exceptional and fortuitous for those who need to know what they are doing when and either don't want GApps or can't seem to get a Calendar app working reliably with GApps.
