Hi,
One of the things i really find annoying about my phone setup is the fact that I keep on knocking the camera button and activating the camera by mistake. I don't use the camera that often (no guesses why) so I would prefer to assign the button to ALT-TAB or something that I would find a little more useful.
I have made the change in settings but it seems that my new button assignment only works until I perofrm a soft reset. Then the button reverts back to starting camera.
Is there any way of doing this so even after a soft reset my button assignments don't change?
Thanks in advance,
Charles
Go to Device\windows\Startup and delete cameradetect. Everytime you reset now the things you assign will keep.
Thanks Pug. You're the man!
I wondered the same thing, thanks Pug
Thanks Pug - same here
how to disable from rom?
Hi all
I sort of have the same problem with the camera. don't use it either. I would like to disable it from within the rom but i can't seem to find it.
The problem is that if you get a hard reset the detect camera is there again in the startup
anyone any suggestions? is it baked in the os rom?
thnx in advanced :lol:
It is Possible to remove the file using a script during a hard reset. All this does is delete the cameradetect shortcut, you still need to re-assign the button. This can only be done by cooking the ROM though. I will post the script as soon as I can.

Hey PUG
thnx for the info. Can't wait for the script (no hurry of course). I didn't know you could do scripting with a pda but of course it is a form of windows :roll: .
Well thnx again and a Merry X-Mas to ya :lol:

Hi guys, I am having some little problems with my Xda2i as following.
1. I use button lock to stop using the camera button (as I always accidentally touch it then camera starts, many time I open camera without notice for long time till my battery almost gone!!) Every time I soft reset, it always turn to defalut mode.
2. Also the same happen with "today". I show some items such as Worldmate. When soft reset, it disappears (though I ticked to show it always)
3. Favorites network also the same, ticked it then changed after reset.
Could anybody please help me?.
Many many thanks in advance..
do what i have done removed the camera from my start up prgrams and allocated the button to none that way it can't activate
as for the others i'm not to sure ,i'm sure some1 else will be able to help
Sounds like somehow the registry has become read only. Have a look in the startup folder and see if there any programs in there that shouldn't be running. Also has this started after some program has been installed?
Hi Pug, checked my startup and found below program lists
-camera_detect
-checkautorun
-clear_notify
-IA_CID_start
-PHM Traylaunch
-PhotocontactPro
-Pocketnavy
-poutlook
-RunBT
-spb GPRS monitor
-STK
It seems like you doubt, it happens after program installation.
Any more advice?
Many many thanks
I don't doubt you at all, just trying to help you solve this.
PHM hasn't got a registry restore feature has it? If it has try disabling it. I don't use it so I don't know.
Don't know what that Pocket Navy is so can't comment on that.
If you delete Camera_Detect you can assign the camera button to something else if you want and the button assignment will survive a soft reset.
Sorry for my aweful english, Pug.
This problem wa before PHM installed, it should be ok (anyway I am not knowledgable to know if it has registry or not. I am too new hands)
Pocketnavy is "CloseAll" I like it more because it has window to see running programs and can select to close which one. THe most important is it free.
I will try to fix it as you recommend. Very appreciated your time to help.
Thanks again
Can someone tell me how to "clear" the recently used apps when you hit the start menu? I find it cluttering and would like to clear it if not eliminate it altogether. Any ideas? Thanks!
sometimes help soft reset, but not everytime..
there is a software.. called.. "clearmenu", or "clearitem".. or just "clear" which is attached to many cooked rom, that is to be installed to your Windows/Startup folder.. which will clear everything in your most recent used list on every soft reset. You can clear it without soft reset, in case you are wondering. and soft reset will not do the job if you dont have the software.
i do not want to spam this thread and discuss it with you, but do not agree with
and soft reset will not do the job if you dont have the software.

interesting.. but can I check with you the OS that you are using? Or, better still, you just go into your "\Windows\Start up\" to check if there are anything there, that starts with a 'clear'?
Anyway, since you said "sometimes" soft reset works, I would assume that it is not a repeatable process. If that's the case, probably that the 'sometimes' is the case where the regsitry got messed up and the 'recent used list' gone, and hence coincidently it worked as you wanted to.
Anyway, it is quite a new discovery, but just check with me the `start up` menu (better still, list everything there, can't be too much stuff there), to see if there are any working ones there.
ok, what i want to say is that clearing with apps you mentioned is not only one solution and as you correctly typed, it is done only "sometimes" and i was never trying find out when this happened (or why). now correct?
Help
Ok, guys, there has to be a better way to clean out the recently used apps menu. Anyone???
there is a registry hack... anyone????
Use MortScript and create a text file called cleanup.mscr and place the following in there:
Code:
ErrorLevel off
RegDeleteKey HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch,1,1
Place this file in \Windows\StartUp and it will clean up the Recent Menu Items in the Start Menu at every reboot.
big thanks!
do you happen to know the reg location of "recent programs" listed in "start"?
Delete the string entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch then soft-reset. That'll get rid of the recently used app list on the Start Menu.
I have been using the attached file since I had my Wizard and it works great on my Kaiser too! Just put the "startclean.exe" in your "\windows\startup" folder and it will remove the most recently used apps from the menu after each soft reset.
Someone posted this file a long time ago and I can no longer find the thread.
Use this program !!
http://mobile-sg.com/software/?p=ClearTemp&platform=ppc
soft reset is OPTIONAL !!
Maybe I am overlooking something... but, is there a way to permanently prevent recently used applications from showing up in the Start menu?
Thanks!
just rec my diamond. all i can get on is windows 6 anybody help
Please elaborate. Your post, as it stands, does not make much sense to me....
Anyone else?
sorry i mean there is no fancy screen like weather, internet etc.just green windows
Strange.....make sure TF3D is enabled as a today-plugin. Start>Settings>Today>Elements>tick TF3D (rough translation from German ROM).
If it´s not there, installation might have been interrupted when you first turned it on - hardreset may help.
thanks looks like a hard reset sorry complete novice how do i reset
READ THE MANUAL!
Off the top of my head I believe it should be: hold down "Volume Down" plus "Enter" Key, press the reset button while still holding down above buttons. Let go of the reset button and follow the on-screen instructions....
When it boots back up, let the machine do it´s job after the calibration screen. The device will install a few apps (Opera, TF3D, HTC Phone skin etc.) and reboot automatically. If everything goes well, you should be up and running in a couple of minutes....
thanks for the help looks like a 2 man job to reset will take to orange let them sort it thanks anyway
Hi guys.
I'm new to the Windows Mobile world and only got my Xperia X1 a couple of weeks back. I want to get the TouchFLO 3D interface on there.
However, I want to use CABs which allow me to switch to the TF3D interface and back out again to Xperia, rather than using a cooked rom.
I've looked around and at first it seemed fairly simple, but then the installation wouldn't work because the file didn't have certification security (or something like that).
I've seen articles saying you have to install older versions first, and almost all seem to point to cooked roms.
Does anybody know of a way to install the TF3D interface from a CAB file, and be able to switch in and out of it, like you can do with Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1?
I have Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1 and Spb Weather installed, but I really want the TF3D interface... the weather animations on it are absolutely amazing!
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Sonny
If you check out the stickies in this section, one of them is all about programs, panels and tweaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
Going through it, there is a specific one about installing TF3D as a cab and then running it as a panel.
Wow! Thanks Zenith.
Just managed to install Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila.cab and then TF3DPanelInstaller.CAB.
Works a charm. Exactly what I was after.
I'm now going to install Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab and see how the applications work.
Thanks again for guiding me in the right direction, very much appreciated.

give him the real deal....go to rom section..
Issues With Right Selection Button
Not sure if this is a known and shared issue. Is anybody else having the following problem..?
After installing Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab, my right-hand selection button (the one above the OK button) is not working correctly. E.g. on the Today screen, it does not take you to 'Contacts'.
The left-hand selection button is fine, and it does correctly take you to the 'Phone' screen.
The right hand button is functioning though, but it seems to just be working like the 'Hang-up' button. If I go into an app and press it, it takes me back to the Today screen, and the app remains open in the task manager.
I got a little worried and decided to revert back to the original setup of my phone by using Sony's update tool. The right-hand selection button began to work fine again. After re-installing Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab, I've got the problem again.
I'm guessing this may be down to a registry change. Anybody have any idea if and how you could change this through the registry, and which regkey to amend? Or is there a tweak/fix for this issue?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Sonny
Sorted Button Issue
Hmm, after checking the button settings again, it turns out the Right Selection button was set to Today. Removed the selection... sorted.

So this is to enable the right button to be assigned? Hmm.... kind of remember having that problem but somehow it was solved. Think with B2 of Daran's cab.
ManilaToday.dll Fixed The Issue!
Thanks Himuraken!
The ManilaToday.dll fixed the issue. Replaced the one in my Windows directory and now I don't have to change the button settings after a reboot.
And just for the record, Ipporek, I have Daran's B3 CAB and I was still getting the issue before Himuraken provided me with this ManilaToday.dll.
Problem sorted, now to look at installing the essential software cabs for TF3D. Installed Youtube yesterday, seems to work okay. Will check out some of the others later.

glad it work for you. i forgot to mention that credit goes to the person that provided this in the touch itJe v7 thread. not sure who it was so please forgive me.
Hi, it is my first post in a long time. Now I'm Xperia user.
I tried to download the today.dll but the link is gone. Additionally, my manila is not working: for some unexplained reason the program keeps trying to enter but did not succeed. It starts and then restart without opening.
Can somebody help me? I'm not inclined to try a Rom with manila for in that case I lose the "Ç" key and the letter recognition.
I use the Brazilian Sony Rom version from April 23, 2009.
Thanks, in advance!
Manila not working on Brazilian Xperia
Hi, this is my first post in a very long time. I tried to install this on my Xperia but got 2 errors:
1 - the right hard key problem and the file Today.dll is no more available at the said link
2 - the manila tries to start but does not enter. It keeps restarting but to no avail!
Please, some help is in order! I use brazilian Sony Rom and a cooked Rom is not na option since I would loose the hard "Ç" key and the on screen letter recognizer.
Also, I could not put the "Transcriber" to work.
Thanks

Dear All Sifu .... I don't know when & why .. when yesterday I intended to set sound .. when I pull down .. "start" Manu .. suddenly I can't see the "setup" button ....
I really wonder why/when the "setup" button gone ... I suspect SKTool have remove it ...
Any sifu can help to retrieve back??? pls don't ask me hard reset ... my phone is Tytn II wm6.1 original ...
Don't be afraid of hard resetting...yeah it might take a few minutes to reinstall apps but at least you will have a fresh, fast phone Sorry I don't know why that might have gone away, maybe someone else might have an idea.
Use File Browser \Windows\Start Menu and create a folder named Settings and all will be solved
