Is it possible to add function to the last (empty) slot of the COMM MANAGER ?
Strange why HTC would leave it empty ?!
if you look in this thread there is a 10 button comm manager that adds 3G enable/disable in place of the connection button and it adds enable/disable for beam. Its called duttythroy black 3g comm manager.
Enjoy
As a former Tytn/8525 user, I enjoyed the one button access to the Comm Manager. I used it all the time to limit my power costly modes.
So I installed Spb's Pocket Plus for the Button assignment capabilities. But the default Comm Manager page does not show up as an application when I go to assign the buttons. Several of the 6 Button .cabs on the Kaiser .cab page DO show up.
So my problem is, I wan't to use duttythroy's 10 button black 3g comm manager .cab, which by far is the best and the WiFi switch works, but it also does not show up as an assignable application for a button.
What can be done to accomplish this?
Thanks for any suggestions!

by default, the AT&T rom hid the comm manager from the start menu. You need to add the application's shortcut to the startmenu before you can assign the button. Go into the windows directory and find commmanager.exe and make a shortcut (on your start menu/programs) to this app. Then you can map the app to a button.
if you are using a non-default comm manager, then exe is probably named commmanagerlink.exe
Found a version that didn't work on the net. Replaced Comm Manager files with ones from AT&T 3.53 ROM. Combined it with registry settings from Schap's 6-Button Comm Manager.
You should be able to modify the buttons with Schap's tool. Images for the following buttons are in the cab:
3G
AUTD
Bluetooth
DataDisconnection
FlightMode
Phone
Vibrate
WLAN
Make sure that Comm Manager is not running when you install this one. Check your Task Manager (thanks NFRCER!). Works Great! Enjoy!
Edit: [HTCDiamond CommManager (Updated).cab ]Updated! Left old images so you can see the difference.
- Changed default items in Comm Manager.
- Made a new 3G icon.
- Made Ringer icon for when Vibrate is off.
Edit: [HTCDiamond CommManager (6-6-2008).cab] Updated again!
- Bigger font
- No more blank space on top.
When I try to install this it gives me the error:
"The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
I have never seen this before. Any reason why?
EDIT: Got it installed. Thank you NFRCER for your help!

that is because you have comm manager open.
try soft resetting and install it.

Thank you very much....... I had installed many Diamond Comm Manager in the past few days, all of them worked fine on my Touch but failed to sync with my PC. Your version is GOOD and Working FINE with ActiveSync without any error............ Thanks again, indeed.
awesome work akadonny!
no problem. just trying to give a little back to the community that I've taken so much from.
great job and thx
How Can I uinstal this? Please help
just go to remove programs and uninstall it. I know uninstall is possible because I installed and uninstalled several versions before I posted this final working version.
I uninstall from RemovePrograme already but my Comm Manager skin can not comeback to the HTC skin....
first, really good job! Thanks
a small bug.
Vibrate: The icon on right is not switching from on to off
Vibrate: no icon on left side when vibrate is off
I hope you can fix it.

Isn't this an ordinary step to take for every software?

I'll have a look. I've been away for a while. Should have something for you on Monday (US time).

I took a look at this and this issue doesn't seem to be a bug. With the other buttons such as phone, wifi, 3G and flightmode the default action when you hit the button is to turn each feature off. Vibrate on the other hand does not turn off. When you change any button to vibrate and hit that button it turns on ringer. For this reason it stays on because the function is to either have vibrate on or ringer on. What we are missing is the icon for the ringer. I installed Schap's 6-button Comm Manager and I get the same result. I'll update this thread once I find the ringer icon. Please let me know if anyone else finds one first.
Edit: I made a quick icon for ringer. Anyone that's using "Vibrate" as one of the comm manager functions just right click and save "Function_Ringer.png" and copy the file to "\Windows" of your WinMo device. Anyone with better photoshop skills, please post an icon for Vibrate\Ringer.

You can use pretty much any background, but you will have to play with the font color. You will need to replace 2 files.
P_BG.png - portrait image, 240x268
L_BG.png - landscape image, 320x268
If you only replace these files I think it would not look very nice. I'm not that great with photoshop, but if anyone else would like to take a shot at it all the images are attached.
On another note this thread is for "Diamond Comm Manager". Using other images would just make it modded comm manager and I do believe there are several other threads with custom comm managers that are different colors.
Hope this was helpful
EDIT!!! - I just updated the cab with ringer image and updated 3g image. Check first post.
Big thanks for the update,
One problem left for me, Wi-Fi is not turning on from the Comm Manager, can you please check it - or is this cab not work propper with an artemis.... ?

Try this one. Let me know if it works.
EDIT: removed attachment. didn't work.
Sorry akadonny,
It will not work,
When I press Wi-Fi I get a short animation but nothing happens, if I enable wireless Lan in settings menu (as you can see in the topbar) it is not switching too.
sorry to disturbe you again

if you have a cab of a comm manager that works for you that would help me fix the diamond for you. It should be a pretty easy fix. Anyways, try this one. 3rd times a charm, right?
Hey,
is there a quick way of getting to the comm screen? for example every time i wanna turn wifi on/off, i have to click on one of the icons at the top of the screen, select an option (i.e radio) and then wait for the popup to come up asking if i want to goto the comm screen
is there a quicker/easier way of doing this?
I know the throttlelauncher software does have a comm manager tab, but for the time being i want to use the standard touchflo screens
Add a link in your TF3D programs to the comm manager, like in upper left side
Why not put the comm manager in your programs shortcut.
Slide/Swipe to programs.. and then Tap on Comm Manager Icon
Alternatively, you could edit the registry and have Comm Manager as one of the soft keys appearing on the home screen

you can also set your commanager to the long press send button.

how to make a shortcut in the menu, which to turns on th bluetooth and connect to the default headset (or the headset name)
Thanks
You can use for instance the battery status tool and enable the taskbar buttons. Then you can enable BT from the todayscreen. If you like to have it in the start menu then you can browse with lets say resco exolorer or something like that and create a shortcut in the /windows/start menu folder.
Good luck.
