I got the cube on my Tilt and 8525 and love it. However when i want to customize the programs side, i don't know how to or the 3 (music, video, and the pictures) side. It asks for the paramaters, path .brn, and icon type. i have no idea how to get those. Say i want to add Slick messenger to the programs side, how would i do that? and if i want to add contacts instead of music on the 3 side one, how would i do that? thanks a lot
So it can't be done?
look at one of the paramaters, it should link to something like //programs/xx.exe
just copy that and find the directory of slick messenger.exe
so it will belike /storage card/programs/slick messenger.exe
dont use cube anymore but thats what i recall

Hey folks, I got my Wing a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I had a treo before, and this makes me much happier. I had gotten into modding the UI a bit and playing around with the best combos of third-party software on my old treo, so I started playing with my Wing. Well, I've gotten probably mid-level with my technical modding competency thus far. I'm comfortable with most progs and mods I've found below actually flashing the ROM, and I'd think about that too, but I've gathered that most of the TF roms out have trouble on the Wing. So far, I'm overclocked to 260, tweaked some stuff in the registry, installed the HTC Touch UI minus the cube and all that, but I'm not quite happy. So, I have some questions:
On the HTC Home 5 tab skin:
1. Is there any way to put custom icons in the launcher area? Not just style-wise(though that would be good), but that link to things that aren't on the list? I'd really love to but a button that would take me to "settings" in there, like the one that takes you to "programs". I have a few other ideas too.
2. On the weather tab, I know there is a way to add cities to the "select city" list by getting the city code off of accuweather.com and changing the registry, but I can't figure out how to get the code for my city when I look it up on the site...I search it, and it comes up, but where is the code?
3. I put the HTC black theme on here, but I wondered, are there any others available? I know I've seen a blue one, and I think I've seen pictures of an HTC Touch that had a red theme....
Other Stuff:
1. I tried to up my page pool to 6mb like it says in the "all you need to know" thread, but the preparation app wont work....I install it, but nothing happens after that....I can't find it to open or anything else...Is installing it enough?
2. Is there any way to keep wm6 from putting the recently used programs on the start menu?
3. Is there any way to change the two links on the bottom bar that the soft keys are mapped to? Not change what the keys are mapped to, but like, change "Calendar" to "Settings" or "Contacts" to "Messaging", for example?
4. Is there anything out there that would let me navigate my phone with my finger? I know certain programs have this capability, like Opera Mobile's latest beta and PocketCM(which I use), but I'd like it on all windows that require scrolling....
Apps:
1. Anyone know the best app to use to stream radio and/or tv on my phone?
2. What's the best way to watch youtube? I wouldn't ask, but I've found like three or four different threads/articles on ways to do it, and I don't know which I should use. I prefer to use Opera as my browser, but I can use PIE now and then, if the process actually lets me watch it in my browser....
3. Can ya suggest any good games?
Well, thanks in advance for any help you can give. I've been trolling here for a while, so I know there are some very smart people here and I have faith. Sorry for asking so much, and forgive me if I should have broken this up a bit into different threads, but I'm trying to perfect my phone, and this was basically what was left on my list....Any other tips on how to achieve my goal of making a nice, clean, finger-friendly UI and putting the picking the best apps would be appreciated too.
Peace.
Ok, I figured out the HTC weather thing, and the today softkey thing, so I'm good there. Any help on the rest?
I can cover a few for you but any more's gonna cost ya....
flash your phone with either of the touch roms out right now and you will be able to finger scroll in nearly all applications.
try avotmv, or search using google for similar programs for streaming videos(avotMv includes youtube as well as google).
Many streams to tv stations can be opened with WMP directly which makes it alot easier to connect to them by saving them as PIE favourites. You just need to find 'em first, I would suggest doing that from your computer first.
I've recommended Flux Challenge before, ill do it again...apart from that I don't run too many games from my pocket pc. Seal Volleyball is kinda fun too.
Maybe some others can assist you with the rest
cheers
Does anyone know where the sounds are for the slide out keyboard, when you slide it out there is sound EX. Piano, Wind Chimes etc. Where is the sounds located in the phone, Windows? Because it would nice to change it to what you want, or have your own sound and convert it to the sounds that would work when you slide out your keyboard. Anyone know where it is?

Got this from another thread a while back - was going to just link to it, but couldn't find it so I attached the file here.
I actually turned mine off in the end though.
thanks so much, i probably will turn mine off too, but if you can get like an mp3 song that you like and just get a clip or something or like record your own voice that would make it lot better, and where is it in the phone though? someone needs to tell me how to create cabs.
I haven't tried the cab changing the sliding sound is a bit of a process.I only just figured this out and i had some inspiration from a post on Modaco.
The opening and closing sounds are wav files stored in the \windows directory on the phone. There are three files total and the naming convention of the existing files are: 1.wav; 1_in.wav, 1_out.wav. 1_in is the sound of the slider closing while 1_out is the slider opening. I'm not sure if you have to keep this convention or not and you'll understand why in a second.
Using a registry editor navigate to: HKLM>software>HTC>SlidingSound. Here you'll find the keys for the existing slider sounds (0-2 on an ATT Tilt rom). Inside each key are three values: default, in and out. If you check the properties of each value you'll find the name of the sound and the filename for the in and out sounds.
All you have to do at this point is to copy the entries into a new key with values to match your filenames. I kept the numerical sequence (0,1,2, 3).
The more I think about it I don't think you need the 1.wav file at all just the in and out wav files but that's the info I got from the Modaco form topic about changing the slider tone for the VOX. I'll have to try and see what happens. Hope this helps.
Oh yea it does, even though i might not be able to do its great to understand or know something about it, thank you so much
OK, ive created the wav files ( default, in, out) created the new key and new string value but i dont know how to create the value data which is where i think after i get i can create a cab, but i dont know where the numbers and letters lead.
just download the attached, and the sounds will show up in the drop down. just like that.
Interesting...volume control is done through the main settings volume menu?
Hmm, I've installed that .cab posted above, but I can't find it anywhere...
I've don this a couple of times but never used a cab to get it done. using a registry edit (phm, etc...) is much easier. put the .wav file in the phone windows folder on your phone and then use the editor to write the paths. do a serch for a link to detailed steps.
thanks
thanks for the sound cab for the sliding open and closed it worked really well, just a shame the lightsabre opening clip isnt long enough, seems to stutter then nothing,as for closing it sounds perfect
Ok I have alot of questions and need some help.I have the AT&T Tilt and this is my first pda phone so I am new to all this.The only thing I added to my phone was the Kaiser Tweaks because I hated the screen going dead during calls and a few other things.Here are my questions:
1.How do I get A new home page for my phone.I want something that the clock is diplayed in big numerals and something that hopefully has a weather button that works and any other good features?I like the one from HTC in the gray but not sure where to get it and if the weather button actually works.
2.Is there any way you can get new alarms, use a ring tone for an alarm or something cause the alarms suck on this phone?
3.Does anyone know how or even if you can set up your hotmail account so you can just go to messages instead of having to log on using the internet explorer?Even if you have to pay for hotmail plus, any information on this would be helpful because it sucks that my hotmail doesn't work with the message section on the phone.
4.Is there any other programs, tweaks or mods that I should add to my phone that is useful, will speed it up or anything else that I should look into?
I know this is alot but hopefully some people know the answers to some of these questions and can point me to the right place.Please help.

Sorry i know i am new at this and thanks for your help if you could just be a little more descriptive on how to do step 2 and 3 thanks.
On your Tilt you have a program called windows live, open it and sign in, it 'll ask you if you want to sync mail => yes.
If you dont have this program you can download from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
the music files must be put in the root off your device, in the windows directory. for some phones they can't be mp3's but must be .wav files, so you'll have to convert them. I use Acoustica MP3 To Wave Converter PLUS. very simple. Then you go to Sounds and notifications in Settings=>Personal and select sound for new sms. For alarms you tap the clock on your today screen and go to the tab Alarms, there you click on the little bell above the alarmtime and select your tune.
hope this gets you on your way...
Ok I am making this thread because I cannot seem to locate a thread that will help me with what I am trying to do, I have a few questions about getting my HTC Diamond Tweaked in such a manor, lets begin.
1. I would like to change the default email program from whatever it is now to something that will allow you more than 5 email addresses like q3mail (I have 10.....mostly work related). Now I ask because I need something that works in real time, I tried forwarding emails but they work when the server feels the need to check and there is no way to change that on my end. Also anyone knows how to set up q3mail or whatever that program is that seems like my best bet.
2. I want to change the contacts list and dial screen from the default one to iContact and iDialer or something better than the default one.....
3. I would like to change the photo viewer from the default picture viewer to Rescos Photo Viewer
Now when I say I want to change it from the default I mean that I want to keep the same icon etc etc but when I click on say contacts or dial screen it brings up iContact/iDialer instead of the default one etc etc...
Also side note, .NET 3.5 seems to mess with my phone, it makes all ringtones silent no matter what the setting is, as well as messes up some of my app icons...like MP3 Trimmer looks all weird like the colors are off.....or sometimes you just dont even see an icon (I have tried a hard reset and install) and I cant seem to figure out why is that
As a matter of fact dont even worry about the contacts list app because I am using SPB mobile 3.0 and the contacts in that will do....but I do need a better dialer
ive been lookin everywhere to change the default contacts to icontacts as well.
Cant find anything.
Bump?
Hi,
as there are all kind of tabs for sense, I am quite curious if anyone can create also a tab for Pocket Informant (yes I have a purchased a license - so nothing illegal). What I really miss in SENSE that you can only see one line of date in calendar, but i need to see a lot more.
is it difficult to "develop" or create it? simply a window (tab) that is purely dedicated to Informant, where I can see PI, supporting the colors for categories, etc .. to by able to access all parts, but mainly and most imporatntly the AGENDA and to use it
I understand that probably no one will do it for free, but I am sure we can agree on little something ..
if I missed anything pls let me know - thx

I saw somewhere that there was a sense today screen tab mod. You might want to try looking that up and use Pocket Informant's today screen view.
At least for now.
