Ststem settings link/icons

Hi
What I would like to do is add some of the settings options to the a Today Addin (UltimateLauuncher) which requires the filename .exe or .lnk to operate but I cannot find the application name or path or even a shortcut to enable me to do this.I am using Dutty's V4 Dualtouch Rom on a Kaiser
Can anybody supply any help?
I'm interested in:
Settings->Personal->Phone
Settings->Personal->Owner Info
Settings->Personal->Sounds&Notifications
Settings->Personal->Today
Settings->System->About
Settings->System->Memory
Settings->System->Power
Settings->System->Screen
Many thanks in advance

Make your own shortcuts (links). Search around. There are many threads here explaining how to create shortcuts to control panel settings.

Thanks for the reply-just what I needed.
Also thank you for not biting my head off! I had searched - but being the moron that I am,I hadn't used the term Control Panel.
Best Wishes

Touchflo 3D App Tab

I have as Telus HTC Touch Diamond.
I understand that the application tab can hold 18 shortcuts. After I added enough to use up the full 18, there was an additional [+] button below the last line as if I could add more. I tried to add one and the shortcut did not appear. But, yet another [+] button appeared. Again, I tried to add another. Not surprisingly, it didn't add the shortcut.. but again, another [+] button appeared.
I now have a full row of [+][+][+] along the bottom and can't seem to find any way to remove them. I did try to the remove shortcut option, but that didn't make a difference, probably because they're not shortcuts.
Any idea how to clean up my mess?

The solution is to delete the registry entries for the blank "+" items:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher\N
N is 1~18, represent each Program's item

Task manager, and interface question.

What is the best task manager for wings? Is there any with teh shell integration.
I noticed somewhere that Programs menu can be modified to have scrollbars instead of clikcing "MORE" softkey. How can I manage this.
Thanks

I use CeleTask (isn't free of change).
Scrollbars:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell - here create DWORD "RockerSupport = 1"

Thanx man for support. Regards

I saw somewhere that there is a taskmanager that can integrate into Quick List.. What is the name of that taskman? Where can I found on if it's free ?

[Q] Sizing of Popup Menus (WM6.5, no Menu Enhancement)

My Problem is rather simple: I want this:
http://i.iimmgg.com/images/th/c86c0db38227e4b40b82058488e371fd.jpg
and i got this:
http://kimag.es/share/38726898.jpg
Funny enough: tael has a cab to undo what i want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=249156&d=1258840564
I use WM6.5 21891 "Phoenix 2" by NRG, i just snatched these example pics from tael (thanks btw). Both menu styles are with menu enhancements disabled (obviously).
This is NOT fixed with changing "Popup menu font size" from advanced config. Even with a ridiculously low value (like 500) the seperate "buttons" of the menu are still way too big while the font in it is ridiculously small.
I hope this can be changed and is not "cooked in", because it was the way i liked it in former Energy Rom Builds, it only changed after 21864 (i think).
Hopefully im posting in the right section (technically this is not rom related, so a seperate post should be fine).
Thanks in advance

Use a reg edit and in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\popfnt
change MANUALLY the value for the "Ht" entry to "800" decimal (from 1200)

Thanks for the fast reply, but i already tried that:

This actually is the same registry value you suggested.
I have uploaded some of my own pics to clarify my problem:

Performance on Rhodium
[EDIT]
I am using the full version now, which shas an option to disable the original start menu, which saves alot of memory.
Performance is great on the Rhodium
[/EDIT]
I wanted to try it on the Tilt 2, because it is a memory starved device.
There is no memory advantage to using this over the normal start menu.
It looks nice, and the recent program list is great.
But for the Rhhodium, memory is critical, so I will go back to using the Panel Stat menu cooked into Energy ROMs.
It would be nice if the free version would have had the graphic transitions when opening folders. It looked cool on the demo that was done on an HD2, but, other devices, such as my Tilt 2 or my Fuze, are slower.
I would want to see that performance before purchasing. If I could see that I would consider purchasing it for my Fuze.
But, as far as the memory usage. I can't use it with my Tilt 2. It consumes more memory than having the original start menu.

The full version can disable the original start menu, so you can spare approx 30 Mo in RAM.
The demo was done on an HD (older than Tilt2) and no problems. I think it will be smooth for both (Tilt2 and Fuze), but I'm not sure of that!
I can't create a demo version with graphic transitions, too much work...
As you are a "productive and contributing member", I can give you a serial... Send me a PM if you are interested!

Thanks.
While testing the full paid version, I am very impressed.
I have more memory available than before, when I was using the Panel Start menu available in Energy Roms.
This start menu is great.
Starts faster.
More responsive.
Better transitioning graphics.
Graphics are very smooth on my Tilt 2.
And the most recent program feature is really nice to have.
This is definitely worth the money.

Thanks for this feedback

WinStart with CHT Softkeys
First of all very nice!!
I purchased the full version at your referenced site.
I am having a problem. I use CHT 2.0 on my NRGZ28 ROM, and I use the CHT Softkeys. I cannot get WinStart to pull up the start menu using the "StartMenu" CHT softkey. If I disable the CHT softkeys, the the normal StartMenu icon works fine.
Within CHT SoftKeys, there are ways to set key assignments:
"Run path" which prompts me to enter an application to run. WinStart is not a listed application.
"Command Line" which prompts me to "enter command line parameters". I don't know what to do here?
Is there a way you can get this to work with the CHT SoftKeys?

I have CHT2.0 too, but I never used the SoftKeys...
I take a look and come back to tell you how do this.

WinStart with XDA_UC
Thank you...while waiting...I'll ask another question.
I flash ROM's a lot when new versions come out. I use XDA_UC to install my various apps that I use. WinStart will DEFINITELY be one.
My question: On a fresh install with a new ROM, is there a registry key or something that I should install along with the cab to get the initial "fresh-install" parameters - username/password information - automatically applied?

OK, so it's not as easy as I thought... I try something but it work only the first time... What I do :
In HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila
>Set CHT.Softkeys.KeyCustom1.Path to: \Program Files\winstart\winstart.exe (no quotes or anything else)
In CHT editor, set icon1 to custom1... But as said before this will work only the first time.
I work on this and in a few days (I hope 24h), I will post a new version.
For the second question, you will have to save these two values :
HKLM/Software/Manila_WinStart/licenceKey and HKLM/Software/Manila_WinStart/password.
You can also export the entire HKLM/Software/Manila_WinStart/ key to save your settings too... If this is not an option for you, tell me via PM, I will send you a patcher...

Hello - I appear to have the same issue as WMG316. After installation and reboot. I can go to \Program Files\WinStart\ and run ConfigWinstart.exe. I select DEBUG, Stop Service, and then Start Service, Back, Save. At this point the Hard and Softkeys work properly until the next reboot. I have not put any WinStart in my Startup folder.
I hope this helps get closer to a long-term solution. I really like this app and it is still worth the money.

Thanks...I had tried that and came to same conclusion...only works on the first try!
Hopefully you'll get that worked out so CHT SoftKeys can be used!!
I look forward to the update.

How to Backup "Renamed Icons"
Another question. I have renamed a few of the icons in the start menu. I cannot locate where these changes are saved. Is there a way to backup these settings for subsequent ROM flashes?

wmg316, you can export registry key HKLM-Security-Shell-Startinfo-Start , which contains data about all links: their position, icon, name & visibility..

Start Menu Hardware Key on Rhodium
Maybe a bug?
Since disabling the CHT SoftKeys I have had no problem initiating the Start Menu with the default soft key. I am still in hopes that you will fix that issue though!
My problem...when I try to use the hardware key start menu on the Tilt 2 (Rhodium) it does not work.
I can get it to work by following these steps:
Use Start Menu soft key to go to Start Menu
Select Menu, Options
At this point the option to "Hook the windows hardware key" is checked...I uncheck this...then check it again and select save
After this process, the hardware key works.
After a soft reset, the hardware key does not work and I have to go through the aforementioned steps to get it to work again.

Yes,I think this problem is the same as CHT softkey (they emulate an hardware keydown).
So I think in a few hours these two bugs will be corrected !

The problem is now solved...
I work on an option to save/restore the settings so I will change the version number of first post when finished.
For now you can install the attached file which correct the bug but don't include the option to save/restore settings...

Confirmed to work:
I uninstalled v2.1 and soft reset
I installed v2.2
Turned on CHT Softkeys
Tested CHT Softkey start menu - worked
Tested hardware key start menu - worked
Soft reset
Tested CHT Softkey and hardware start menus again - worked
Thank you!!

You guys work fast! The issue with the hardware and CHT Softbar starting was my only real issue with this. I bought the paid version and love it. Thank you.
The only other minor cosmetic thing I have noticed is that when you first open the program, it leaves some odd artifacts on the screen as you run it the first time. For example, after a soft reset, the first time I open the menu, I can't see my task bar on top, I see a part of my CHT hometab. Once I close it, it works great for all other openings.
Also, when you click on a program, the animation works fines to zoom the icon at me, but once it is done, the screen briefly jumps back to the start menu background showing me just the icon I clicked on until the program actually opens.
Like I said, purely cosmetic, but I figured I would mention them. Again, thanks a ton for the program, it is by far and away the best start menu I have tried. Light years ahead of even the default WM one.
