Is there a way to customize comm manager (change from 6 button to 10 or change the buttons--replace data connection with 3G) other than using Advanced Config. I can do it through Advanced Config but wondered whether there was another way to do it on the fly that I am missing. Thx.
Did you try looking into the stickied thread at the top of the forum that has all the cab files??
There's a 10 buttom comm manager right there.
I know. I am looking for a utility that switches from the 10 to the 6 or changes the order of the buttons on the 10 or 6. Maybe I am not explaining it well enough ....
Why would you want to change between the two? The 10 button has it all, including disabling data connection and 3G?
Aesthetics. The 6 button on/off looks good with certain themes/roms. Not a huge issue. I guess not a big demand for it.
If you use Kaiser Tweak you can customize the Comm Manager (doesn't change from 6 to 10 buttons or vice versa) but you can re-order the buttons. Give it a shot.
Got it. Thanks.
... Is there anyone that found a way to make the 10-buttons CommManager "dpad-friendly" ?
It's so annoying : you can navigate the homepage of your PDA with the dpad, and then start the commmanager... and there : you're stuck !
Have to touch the screen to choose any of the items (wireless, data, bluetooth...)

Yeah, because it's SUCH a pain to point your finger at the screen and push.
Wow, it's amazing the things people complain about.
If I took your logic, I would ask why Kaiser has a hard-keyboard ? It's so easy for ppl to press the screen
...
I have the aluminum case, and the screen is behind a hardglass !
So you can give a try if you want... but I'd bet your won't even bend the glass.
You didn't say you had a hard case, did ya? I don't have one and I don't know anyone that does. Everyone I know uses the stylus on the screen, just like it's supposed to be used.
Just use AEB to assign a hardkey, I use the windoz logo key, double press toggles BT power, tripple toggles WiFi. You get the picture.
I'll give a try to AEB (my Win button is already reassigned, same for the camera button which triggers the CommMgr...)

Like I said, why would people buy a phone with real keyboard, as there's already onscreen keyboard... That's exactly same scenario.
My question was not about "how could I reeducate myself", but how to turn this smartphone into something even smarter...
Even the ComMgr on the HTC Tornado can be manager from the joystick... (running WM5)
So it's a shame if HTC did remove this so simple thing as focus-ordered buttons...

You bought it, didn't you? Why did you buy it? I'll tell you why - it's one thing to have an on screen keyboard, it's a totally different thing to have a real, tactile keyboard with real keys to give your fingers feedback. You're comparing apples and oranges. Your logic doesn't fly with me, sorry. You can't touch-type with an on screen keyboard (i.e. type by feel).

WOW. You have been nothing but a condescending prick in every one of you posts on this thread. Sorry you don't like the new kids on your block asking questions. If you don't want to contribute anything in an amicable manner, please, leave us to cry in the corner.

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. You made my night.
The OP had a question, and I answered it. If it's not what he was looking for, then he should learn how to phrase his questions in a better way.
I don't apologize for my wording. I am short and to the point.
Lastly, some people will complain about anything and everything. You can't help that or change that.
Ok fine, so you're apparently upset about people asking for tips & tricks... Then I assume your Kaiser was just perfect as-is right ?
(...so I guess you kept the stock ROM untouched, and didnt apply any of the great XDA-dev patches/fixes then)
Anyone with a more constructive feedback, like maybe importing the CommMgr of a different HTC pdaphone ?
I have the Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM. It does everything I need it to. I have, however, applied many of the tweaks and fixes available here. I ask very few questions and do LOTS of reading. I read almost every thread in this forum looking for little tweaks to make my phone even better than it already is.
I have no problems with people asking questions. That is what this forum is for. What bugs me is people who post the same question over and over without reading ANYTHING. (not that I was referring to you)
I was trying to be a little sarcastic with my first reply, but I guess you took it the wrong way.
So then, if you said I was posting without reading anything ...
Do you mean you were able to find a way ? (finaly we'll get something constructive)
I am not really new to XDA-dev, so I know how searching the place works...
Unfortunately, neither the 6buttons nor the 10buttons CommMgr is able to do (apparently) what I'm trying to get.
Hence the post...
Well I highly doubt that you will be able to switch between the 6 and 10 buttom comm mgr. They are both cab installs and require a SR after install.
What about RemE's suggestion? Did you try that? You could also remap the PTT button.
P.S. I wasn't referring to you when I said people don't read before posting.
I used to play Worms a lot on my old Trinity, there was a problem mapping the keys at first until someone managed to create a save file with the right keys on it to suit the Trinity.
I am a complete noob though, so I don't know how to edit the Savefile to change the keys to suit the diamond. I've tried opening it with notepad (garbled) tried a hex-editor but i don't know what i'm looking for really.
I'm attaching the save file so hopefully some bright-spark on here could edit it to suit the diamond.. As only three buttons are needed, the volume buttons and back button should do just the job.
Hope someone can do it
The central button - fire; Vol- - jump; Vol+ - back

why cant i play very well worms on my diamond?
i downloaded the cab and all the hw buttons work very well, my poroblem is that most of the times the touch screen doesnt recognize when i click a button, for example at start it takes me ages so i can play because i click and it doesnt act like it should, in game if i choose another weapon on a worm, when i get to other worm it doesnt let me choose anymore, i believe this is due to the vga screen, care to comment?
Could you upload the WWP cab? I would also love to play it on my Diamond.

This issue is related to screen rotation. You probably have G-Sen installed. Add worms to the list of programs G-Sen should not rotate, in the G-Sen configuration file (just like it's done for manila).
thanks a million it works perfectly now this game is awesome
thanks for the help it never crossed my mind gsen was messing with it
While I'd be very glad to play Worms, the savegame just makes Worms crash back to the Application selection screen on my Diamond. Any thoughts on what that means, or should I just attach my save-game file?
thanx for the dat files...the game is really good...just wondering guyz...everytime i close the worms app on my diamond...i get an error report...is that normal:/?
Hello, maybe I'm stupid but how can I move and aim with worm? In menu it says with D-pad, but it doesn't work for me. (D-pad is that circle button right?)
Brilliant! Thanks very much for this
Can somebody explane me how to install this on Diamond. And does it work well ?
this is a great fix, THANK YOU!
but can a similer thing be done to remap the buttons in Tomb Raider? the game runs perfect on the Diamond but cant be played as the buttons need to be mapped
can anyone do this?
how do i install it?
can someone remap up and down to end call and start call? i have no up and down on my diamond
Hello, im using miri 8.1 premium and i want to remove the "slide down for more options" when i make a call... is this possible??
+1 i hate it!
+1, i really don't like it
yes! Me too, it is the most useless junk ever thought by the HTC ppl! It is annoying, please someone please help us remove it!
And why don't you ask miri for it in is thread instead opening a new one???

Its a pain to mute/un-mute during conf calls with this on.
Anyone?
For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.
Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I must admit the Topaz dialer (as nice as it may look) sux! What was wrong with the standard HTC HD dialer? it supported landscape and was functional.

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?
thanks man it helped

What Da!!!
woah!! no one there can help me..???? OMG am i stuck with the stupid calender button?!?!

Thank you
Thank you very much you made my day....thank you....thank you...thank you.....
one more thing...!!!
thanq chef...but i have one more question... how can i change the colour of the text on the home screen.....????i googled it and couldnt find anthing except negative answers....well i would be prefering a registry hack instead of a program...lets keep the Diamond clean shall we!!
Sry, don't know how it's done. it hast already been discussed here on Xda, but they found no real solution ( except UI Tweak, which didn't work really).
Edit:
Hah! found something else:
It can be done (probably^^) with Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3, which would be the solution using a tool.
But you say you prefer registry, so i've found this.
(the second part of the text)
I'm not sure for which winmo version it was written, but it sounds like a solution. let me know if it works!
Greez
okay...
well i looked at the registry thing and it didnt work out.....can anyone tell me how to use advanced config to change font colour....cuz i cant seem to find it...by the way chef thanks for the effort..
Our Blackstone has always suffered from the fate of an UGLY sister... from not getting official WM 6.5 to Lack of Hardware windows button. i decided to start this thread so that we can find out some way to Remap Hardware Button (HOME) to Windows start......
For the 2 years i had my Blackstone i know that i hardly used this button so it would be nice to remap it to Windows button.... also we can have the added feature of removing the Start button from bottom of screen and have more HTC HD mini like sense 2.5 look for those of us who use WM 6.5.5......
Any help into this matter would be greatly appreciated.... and on other forms ppl have remaped hardware buttons like this one .... for HERO

Actually, the home button is not a hardware key. Its a part of the touchscreen. Only hardware keys are VOL up/down (pwr, rst also)
hink this is possibke
as stated the post above it isnt a real hardwarekey so its arranged by manilladesktop.dll i believe
im writing this from my phone sso cant check if its the right dll name
if its a dll you can rewrite the dll to point to start instead of home

ohhh that would be great chris..... i would be really gald if you can help me out... take ur time... when u have access to your pc... check if you can do something about it....
i'd be interested in the results of this...
i'd like to use the BACK key for manual rotate, and use the PICKUP button as default voice calling.
currently im using the PICKUP key for manual rotate, since this is the only button available to remap it's long-press function.
well i took a quick look but it isnt something i can arrange for you
all kind of strange numbers and stuff in there that i cant read
i still think it should be possible though if someone with more knowladge of dll files and writing them comes in help

yes we we once learn the art of remapping hardware keys there will be infinite possibilites to what we assign the buttons to do....
