start menu - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

how do i clear the list of previously used programs as my start list seems to be overloading itself
i get it open once ok then open and its all white ands then i have to scroll forever to find the thing i want

Hi, there is an option in Kaiser Tweaks from Chainfire that does clears the start menu:
Download the KaiserTweak.exe from Chainfires thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
Get the newest Kaisertweak.xml from Nikagls thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349009
Copy both files on your storage card e.g. in Program Files\KaiserTweak and run the exe: Go down the tweak list to Tools / Empty Start Menu, enable it and do a soft reset.
And there are alot of other great tweaks in this program, very easy to use. Be aware many tweaks need a soft reset afterwards to work.
!!! Many thanks to Chainfire and Nikagl !!!
Greetz,

yeah i was hoping i could do that without installing something else as i think HTC plus created the problem in the first place

Hmm, I never heard of the start menu entry for previously used programs can overload itself. Mine has a maximum of 6 entries and the oldest entry gets overwritten by the newest. Sorry, seems I cannot help you with that overload issue, but I am sure there will be someone in this great forum.
Nevertheless, give KaiserTweak a try. It don't has to be installed (just copied) and it is a tool to easily optimize registry settings. A must have in my opinion, but of course it's to you... ;-)

I took it a step further and manually hard reset the device clearing all the data and resetting everything
I did not have much on it, plus everything is backed up anyway.
All sorted now.

Question on using the extended ROM properly

I'm just starting to get into the depths of my PDA2K and this site is GREAT!!!!!!! Since I'm just one step up from "The Village Idiot", I have a couple questions for all you pros.
After reading about using the extended ROM, and unlocking it and seeing what's in there, I think I've figured it out. Whatever CABs are listed in the config file will be installed upon a hard reset....correct? If true, and since I have only 3.5MB left in Ex ROM, can I put the other CABs I wanted installed in say /storage/CABs, list them in the config file and upon a hard reset they will be installed? Is there any reason to put them into Extended ROM rather than Storage? Is it alright to put CABs in from like games, Resco Explorer, WebIS Mail, etc.? Lastly is there a way to set the programs up where I don't have to go back and enter all the registration numbers again?
Thanks a ton for your help!!!
Tom
In extended rom they are not taking up your precious storage space on the device.

is it possible then to keep the installation cabs on storage card,
and also, can that path be set in the config file in ext rom?
what happens if a particular cab is not found after hard reset?
is the installation stuck or it just gives a warning and keeps on going to the next cab listed in the list.
Have a read of this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83119#83119
It might be a bit to deep but should help you along the way.
1) You can keep a cab anywere you want
2) make sure your cab is read only as it can delete itsself after install.
3) to run a auto install from a differnet storage place you need to hack the reg (see thread).
In all if you have a sd card you could leave your EXt rom empty.
Hack the reg to the new postion and run the Autorun from there.
Have fun
Thanks for all the infor everyone! From what I've read in other threads I need to make sure that TPdisabled is set to off so that when programs like WebIS Mail and SplashID get installed I can touch the screen to make sure they install into the right place and other things. Correct? If this is correct, should I just remove TPdisabled all together?
Thanks again,
Tom
TPdisabled can't be set off, its either run or not run. So dump it and you wont have a problem
MDAIIIUser - Thanks for the link! I looked at it and you're right, it's pretty indepth and I'll have to read it more closely at a later time....like at work.
Question1: leochan2005 had a follow-up saying "why not use backup"? While I agree this would be easier, I'm assuming that by using your method one would get a much "cleaner" install than backing up all the crap that was on the system prior to the hard reset...correct?
Question2: It took me a long time to get my TMo settings setup on my PDA2K and I don't want to go thru that again. Is there a way to backup those settings so that they can be auto-configured at a later time? I read about making a personalsettings.CAB but haven't done it yet.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks! I take it it should be at the beginning of the config file so that I can access it. Correct?
q1)
Well the short of "why not use backup" is you can if you feel that:
1) Restoring Regedit values from a lower rom version
2) Restoring system applications form a lower rom version such as BT
are called for, wanted or even needed.
I fail to see that point as a upgrade is an upgrade and a backup is a backup. Now you could do a restore of your system data also (which you could also sync and that would be clean
Q2)
Most fo those settings are part of T-mobile.cabs found in Extrom, the rest would have been reg entries that you are going to have to hunt for and copy.
So sorry no way around reading the other thread (personalsettings.CAB)
MDAIIIUser - Maybe I should state what I'm trying to accomplish and you could give me a clue as to how to do it. A couple days ago I upgraded by BT on my PDA2K (generic from Expansys) to 1.0.0.3900 (or what ever the latest is) and I'm currently looking at upgrading my radio to 1.12, but that would require a hard reset. I'm not in the mood to go thru all the program installs and SMS/MMS tweaking again, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to get all my programs and configurations back after the hard reset. I thought by incorporating the personalsettings.cab (for my Tmo settings) and your method I would be up and running pretty quickly. Yes? I have Sprite Backup, but I'm not sure if that's going to overwrite anything after the radio upgrade????
Thoughts?
Thanks!
Well my logic (that could be wrong) would say that a restore of your backup would get you to were you are now.
That you would need a restore as you have to do a hard reset after the 1.12 radion install.
But I can't answer the question will the radio be restored as well,
I don't know, I don't know the settings in the backup application, so am sorry I will have to let somebody else answer this one.

.cab queries

Hi,
I need some assistance. I am currently cooking my extended rom. My Extended rom does not have enough space so, i am putting some of my MUST HAVE softwares in my storage so that it installs after a HARD RESET.
But, most .cab files will auto delete upon launch. Is there any way to make
it not delete ? Kindly assist.
Thanx a million
You can avoid the CAB files being deleted by making them read-only.
Well i mean that there is a Registry hack that will not delete .cab's on installation, but you would have to make a .cab with that registry setting and install it as the first thing after hardreset, although i dont think it will work since the registry is already loaded, and the new setting require a reboot to work.
Look in Wiki for registry hacks.
So why dont you just Write protect the .cab's that you want to hold on to

All my "wanna hang on to" .cab's are write protected, and non of them get deleted upon installation.
Manuel installation that is.

You can use a software name Cabinst wich let you install a cab without deleting it.
Easy.
Hi,
Easiest way is to make cab read only. Browse the storage card using PC via activesync. Right click on cab file. Go to properties and make it readonly.
You can also change the deafult beahvior of Instal by changing registry key.

* fAskDest=1 gives you a popup when you install a CAB so you can install on Storage Card for example
* fAskOptions=1 asked before overwriting, haven't found out if/what other options
*fEnableCef : I haven't messed around with that
* nDynamicDelete=0 and the CAB file remains, =1 it disappears but what the difference with the default value 2 is I couldn't figure out.
So if anyone else wants to experiment with it and post their findings

keep the ext rom empty,
after reboot hack the reg to point to new area.
Run the autorun from threre.
Have all files as read only.

Only problem is that all cabs are installed in the default location.
I have yet to get cabinstall to run in batch mode using the nscript tool.

i replied to you in the appropriate thread.
TRY THIS !!!!!
AHHHHHHH! make sure you completely uninstalled any cube version you have installed before.
ANOTHER THING SOFT RESETS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.
Try this.
1. Soft Reset your device (VERY IMPORTANT)
ahhhhh! make sure nobody calls you at the time of installation. (go to comm man and DISABLE the PHONE)
2. Unzip the contents of the zip file.
3. Copy the folder "SCLPC++ to '/Application Data/' NO WHERE ELSE!!!
3. Install FTouchFlo or FTouchSL.
4. Configure FTouchFlo or FTouchSL to open the file 'SCLPC++.exe' for the
Down-Up Guesture.
((((( Now to configure FTouchFlo ****I really don't Know if you need it for FTouchSL****you HAVE to INSTALL the Configuration Tool (FTouchFloConfig_v0.9))))))))))))
5. In this example the path is '/Application Data/SCLPC++/SCLPC++.exe'
6. After You Install the Configuration Tool do a SOFT RESET AGAIN
8. Swipe your finger from the bottom to the top of screen to start cube.
9. IFFFFF YOU HAVE NO RESPONSE DO ANOTHER SOFT RESET.
**** Note: I have read and found that most of the times people are in such a hurry that they forget to do A SOFT RESET (JUST FOR SAFETY) and end up with things not working or worst HARD RESETTING. *****
SO FOLLOW THE SOFT RESET STEPS I INCLUDED HERE JUST FOR SAFETTY

Ohhhh! you didn't have the last version.
Ok! now that you have the LATEST VERSION. Follow the the instructions to install it.
Then go to the following link where MaxMotus created a theme for the CUBE, I didn't installit yet but I'm in that process, I've installed first his Other themes for other Aplications. So far his Set ups are the best NON SLOW ones.
Also make sure to see his other posts.

Are you saying that you got the "stock rom start menu" or just lost the option called "QuickMenu" in which you will find options like Screen, SIP, bluetooth, etc in ttrans custom rom? I had the same problem but after few days and soft resets it appeared on its own. anyway make sure that "QuickMenu.lnk" which is a shortcut file which brings the custom start menu is available in the folder "\Windows\StartUp\" and if not copy from "\Windows" and paste in start up folder. Use total commander or some other file explorer to do the same. let me know the result
that did it
thanks spk_xda!
i copied and pasted and now i'm back up and running the good quick/start menu. i appreciate the fast help.

You know what, now I lost the start menu lol... even though the lnk file is available in "\windows\startup" folder its not coming back and I got the stock rom start menu. lets see what happens after few days...
I had the same problem except the link for the quickmenu is in the start up folder already. It occured after doing the initial settings changes the second time I flashed it with Open Touch v4.0. The first time it worked for a little bit but I guess I changed some setting that doesn't allow it to start up. I can click the link or program and it will load once but it defaults to the Orig. start menu after that... Am I the first with this specific issue?

No, you are not the only one having this issue. As I stated above, I still have the problem and the quick menu doesnt comes even after many soft resets. I even tried to move the .lnk file from startup folder and reset and then moved it back and reset, but no way... it just doesnt work...

Help for a beginner?

Hi everyone, before I start please don't laugh as I require some real basic help?
I have never owned a pocket PC before and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea which it was but I find the diamond a little slow, so I went on Here to see what you pros make of it, and I was amazed to find people had tweaked it with the advanced config, now this is where it gets silly...
I need help really like step by step what to do to install this, if someone could help I would really appriciate it, thanks again, I know you guys are to advanced for this stuff but would really appriciate the help, cheers again!
Are you asking how to install a .cab? simply copy it to your phone and run it from there. These things, and probably all other questions you might have is covered in many threads. Seraching for stuff is a good way to learn, and helps keeping the forum tidy, but beware and use the "search" and not just "search this thread". Welcome to the forum and may it enlighten you in the same ways it did for me

Download the file, advanced config...connect phone to pc and make sure its synched. Take the advanced config file and copy it over to your phones internal memory. Disconnect your phone...open up file explorer and navigate to where you have copied the file....click on the file ie advanced config and it will install onto your phone...install in the device memory when it asks. Once its done installing, your ready to go. Just go to programs and open up advanced config and make the changes you want.
Remember to soft reset the device after every change you make...or else it wont take effect.
here you go!
good luck!

That could be a pretty nice site if it were more wiki-styled.
thanks guys, you guys are stars, I think this phone is a bit to advanced for me !
I have tried instlling the Advanced Config, but it doesn't show up on my Diamond. This is what I did:
Downloaded the .cab file, transferred it to the Diamond in the device root.
Disconnected, clicked the .cab file. It seems to install, I even get the confirmation message that it was installed on the device. And then it's gone, can't find the program anywhere.....
Where did I go wrong????
Maybe its inside Start > Settings..
Check it there..
Regards,
Carty..
Thanks, but it is nowhere to be found. Nothing in Start > settings, nothing in Start > programs. Am I supposed to install both .cab and .zip files? I've now tried installing it on both my wife's and my own Diamond, with the same (missing) result on both devices. And I just can't figure out what the h*** I'm doing wrong! I've tried downloading with both IE7 and Firefox 3.0....
My ROM version is: 1.37.409.3 NOR
