Does anyone has a clue if we can remove the small mobile icon on the photo in the Favorite People? I notice this icon will show up if I have more than 1 number ties to the person.
just delete hh_people_16x16_device.png, hh_people_16x16_home.png and hh_people_16x16_working.png from your windows directory.
these are the small icons...
HAllo,
I have the same problem...i found these files in windows directory but the menu items "Delete" or "Cut" are disabled. What can i do? Thanks
petervbeck: Thanks but like Queenmercury I do not have the option to delete them. They are part of the ROM probably because I have a HTC TyTn II. Any program that I can use to remove unwanted ROM files?
xoxo
You can't delete because the files are in use by HTC Home.
Disable HTC Home in Settings -> Today and try again.
If it's still not working, try using TotalCommander to delete the files.
--> Sorry for wrong information: Solution see Post #10
I tried using Resco Explorer to delete. No luck. Error: Files are part of the ROM.
Let me make sure, on the HTC HOME screen you are trying to get rid of the "Contacts" tab (the one where you can assign phone numbers to little blocks)
I did it because I have an app called face contacts which works much better. lol
I just tried this and it works but you have to install a few other CAB files to get it to work.
go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308&highlight=home+customiser
Then follow the directions to install the HTC HOME CUSTOMIZER (HHC)
when you go to the set up on the bottom tabs in the HHC there is a tab for the HTC HOME "tabs"
It is there where you can add or take out specific tabs.
hopefully it works for you like it did me.
No, they just want to get rid of the little icon that attaches itself the the front of the contacts image when you assign a specific number, eg mobile instead of home.
I also tried disabling the home screen, deleted the icons with resco, but the icons were there again when I restarted the plugin.
Tried restarting device, and the files I got rid of were there again...
I have the opposite problem... I have the Favorite people tab checked so that it should be on my Today screen. No matter what I do, I can only get the today, weather,launcher, ringtones and musice tabs to show up. I would actually like the Favorite people tab on the today screen. I have the HHC program and have put contacts in, but still no tab showing up.

Have you tried to delete this registry key already ?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial
it's not that hard to find when you do a quick search.... maybe next time....
To keii and Queenmercury:
The solution are transparent pics, see attachment.
Disable HTC Home and then replace the existing files with the attached files. Works fine on my Kaiser
I did a search but did not get any results. When I followed your link to quick search, there it was. Apparently I have not been searching the entire site, only Kaiser. Thanks... the fix did indeed work and I will use the quick search from now on!

Many thanks petervbeck for prompt response but it's still not working. I tried to replace the files with your transparent and it's telling me they are read-only file.
Is there a registry key I can edit to remove the picture?

I need someone to export HKLM/security/phone/skin from their phone. I'm trying to determine what keys were lost on phone when I was trying out some skins. If you could export (or copy/paste) the reg key and the sub-keys that would be awesome. Please post the attachement or the code to this thread...
thanks
enabled 1(0x000001)
ext \windows\phcanhtc.dll
Does that help? Or do you need sub directories also?

I really need the subkeys. What I'm trying to figure out is why my call history and speed dial buttons are using the default icons instead the ones actually in the \windows directory. I've verified that skin's icons are n the windows directory but when I view the phone app, the buttons are back to default (for call history and speed dial only).
If you could export or copy/paste the 'portrait' subkey that would be very helpful.
Here you go. Need more? Let me know.

Have you done any phone dialer skinning on this phone? or is it the original phone skin?
I've got a bunch of text color reg entries so maybe that's the cause...
I did install the black HTC dialer but removed it long ago. I didn't think about that when I exported it... sorry!

no worries....
I made a backup of that key, tehn removed everything that wasn't on yours... rebooting, I'll let you know what I find.
Damn, still got the default buttons.
Griz, can you check your speed dial and call history buttons. Anyway you can snap a screenshot to show what your buttons look like?
BTW.. thanks for all your help on this. If we find a fix I know many threads that will benefit from this....
I don't know if you will be able to see this, I dont have a screen capture app on my phone so I used a camera...? If it's bad, I will load a screen capture app and retake a picture for you. Or maybe you need to see more of the screen?
actually I need the speed list screen and the call history screen. Here's a good & free screen capture util....
Install this from your pc, then assign the magicSS application to a button, go to the screen you want to capture, press the button, save the file. When you are done, reassign the button to the previous setting.
Application credits go to Lou ........ http://www.louterrailloune.com/?page_id=7
OK, how is this?
the 3rd one is what I was looking for...
hate to tell you this, you have the same issue. look at the image used in the call history button in the image above. Now, view the actual files that are used for those images in the /windows directory. The files are:
spd_lst.gif
clg_in.gif
clg_out.gif
clg_missed.gif
The above files should look different then the above image. Do they?
This is what I see in /windows/clg_in.gif
-- scratch that...
that should be the image you see when viewing call history inbound calls, as you can plainly see from your screen shots, what's in the windows folder is not what is being displayed in the phone app.
And here's the kicker, at one point it did match. The image you show above (clg_in.gif) is what my original call history buttons display like. Even on some of the skins I tried, the speed dial and call history buttons skinned properly. I just notice that it won't do it anymore.
Either a registry entry has changed (or been lost) or there's some sort of OS icon cache issue.
The only reason I don't think it's registry related is that those files are usually treated differently when skinning the phone dialer. Most skins will create a folder with the replacement images, then the install will change the registry to display the images in this new folder. These 4 files never get put into the new folder, they always get dropped directly into the windows folder, overlaying the ROM file. Also, I've never seen any registry entry for these images. I would think that the registry entries (if they existed) would be under the reg key mentioned at the start of the thread.

OK, I never noticed that these were wrong icons. But it's an easy fix. Just replace the ones that are in the /windows dir with the ones you want.
Is that what you are after?

yes that's how it should work, but it doesn't.... it's displaying a set of icons bulit into to the phone app...

i have a remaping app for my tilt , but i cant seem to find the lnk or exe for device lock.
any one can help me on remapping my left softkey to "lock my device"
thanks !
Re - Remap left softkey to lock the phone
Why don't you try HTC end Key.cab, it works great and you don't have to lose the use of the soft key.

I just tried this and the phone lock is not an option on my phone with this. Also when I tried to uninstall this cab my left softkey that is mapped to calendar, now gives me an error, something like, the file 'htc calendar cannot be opened......' Also when I installed it, it changed the color of my today screen back to att default. I fixed this by just changing my theme and then changing it back. Any clue how to make the calendar button work right again?
alright im going to take a look @ that.
What Rom are you using?
Found the solution for you but need to know what ROM you're running.
On your phone, open your registry editor. If you don't have one, get it here. Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open. Change the Data String from \Windows\??????? to (This is what a stock ROM should be) \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk
If you have a different ROM, I have no clue. But, I will keep checking for ya.
I am running the stock rom from att. I don't have a registry editor yet, but I will try the one you posted and try to fix it in the morning, when I get back up to work. Thanks!
Good luck, bro. I'd check the link I provided (Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk) to make sure that Device Lock.lnk is there. If it is then you'll be good to go. If not, check in other folders for it. It will be in your windows folder or windows sub folders somewhere. Let us know how it turns out for you.
i think that devicelock.lnk is what i cant find when remapping . its not in my windows folder
im using L26 v11 Rom
I am not able to find the devicelock.lnk either, I have looked in the windows/startup/programs folder and it is not there. I looked all through the windows folder also and could not find it although the windows folder itself is quite large and I may have just missed it.
Hey guys,
This is my first post, which could be a disaster if this is all down to my stupidity, but I swear I've done a lot of searching and come up with nothing. That out of the way...
When I go to the TouchFLO internet page on my XDA Ignito the default site if you hit 'launch browser' is m.yahoo.com, is there any way to change this at all? I'd much prefer it to launch with about:blank for responsiveness, and so my GPRS doesn't auto-connect when I want to do something with Opera.
Thanks in advance for any help, I'm really glad there's a community like this for users of HTC devices. I've already used this forum as a lurker for a lot of information (including upgrading my old Hermes to Winmobile 6), you guys are superb.
Sincerely,
Ulfhedjinn.
Launch Opera.
Tap the Options icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (it's a black box with horizontal lines in it with a similar smaller white box partially in top of it) and this'll pop up a list of options.
Select the Settings option.
Tap the Start Page bar and it'll drop down various options to do with the default page.
Select the 'User-defined' option and enter about:blank in the text box.
I had a bit of trouble getting Opera to 'remember' my change when I was doing exactly that so if this doesn't take effect then do a soft reset (after making sure everything is still as you want it in Opera) to get the option to 'stick'.
Hello Medulla,
Thanks a lot for the advice, I appreciate it. Unfortunately I'd already tried setting the homepage in Opera to about:blank or Google UK, and got them to stick in the browser (which can be a pain at times as you mentioned), but the internet page in TouchFLO still says "Launch Browser" with "m.yahoo.com" under it.
I tried setting my homepage and then doing a soft reset, just to see if it would work, but unfortunately I still get m.yahoo.com as my homepage unless I manually start Opera from programs or by pressing "Browser" at the bottom of the internet menu instead of "Launch Browser" at the top.
I was wondering if the m.yahoo.com default was tied in to the registry or firmware.
Thanks again for the reply.
Using file manager..
Go to:
\Application Data\Manila\
rename the file InternetPortal-en-AU.xml to something else (or delete).
Alternatively, you could change the home URL inside that xml file, that should fix your problem. It's a read only file, you would need to use something like total-commander to modify the attribute. G luck ..
Hello techdave,
You, sir, are my bloody hero. Renaming that file worked a treat.
I can't thank you enough.
very useful tip. thx a lot
Yes, that was driving me crazy too! Thanks for this tip
My first post on the forum after using many of the excellent tips etc..
This is a great tip, its been bugging me since getting my diamond, I've managed to change the default page in the xml file to Google UK, also got rid of the MySpace and You Tube links by modifying the same file (using Total Commander).
I would also like to my put my own links and icons (similar to the MySpace and You Tube ones) on the main Opera Touch Flo screen, I've changed the link but have no idea how to change the image, the xml file refers to .qtc files for the images.
What are .qtc files and how can I create them to put my own icons in?
EDIT - found the answers after some deep searching
also used this tip to get rid of something which has been bugging me since I first got the phone, thanks
I'd been searching everywhere for this. Thanks so much!
I went to the program tab on TF3D and noticed that an extra row of blank spaces appeared out of nowhere. I didnt think it was that bad since I get an extra row. Unfortunately when I try add a new program, it stays blank and another row of blank icons appear! Anyone know how to get rid of this?
You can manage the icons/programs in the program tab with a freeware utility called "diamond TF3D Config" (you will find it here by using the search)

I know all about TF3d config. Im having problems with the amount of rows present in my programs tab. I cant use them and I cant remove them. I havent installed any programs lately and IDK wth I need to do to get rid of them. So far I have 12 rows of unusable [+] icons. TF3d Config does not manage this.
I have the same problem!!!
I now have an extra page (3x3 icons) of "add program" icons.
In tf3d config it shows the programs I wanted to add, which appear as add program.
And if I try to delete them the add icons still stay....
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks
ditto... I randomly got the same problem about 2 days ago shorty after I installed the diamond config I think. I also installed the footprints cab and navipanel as well... and recently installed facebook chat and wfacebook.
maybe one of these new installs caused the issue?

Had the same problem too guys, it has nothing to do with the footprints cab or facebook chat, all you need to do are some very simple registry edits. I saw the solution a while back in this forum. Can't remember any more what the title of the thread was, but it solved my problem. Will try to find it and get back to you.
EDIT: Found it! Here you go: (credit goes to Rabangus)
Open the registry editor and go to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
In there you should only have keys 0-17. Just delete any additional key you find there (i.e. key 18 and above), do a soft-reset and you're done
Hope this helps...
Peter
thnks this solved the problem.
yeah this happened to me a while ago and that solution worked
That's great and all but WHY did it happen in the first place?
Thats part of the mystery.
maybe u have installed xbodmod manilla HD and then u have unistalled.. that should give u some new entries in program tab..

Excellent post, this one had me confused as well but your solution took care of that.
Is there any way to make these extra buttons functional instead of deleting them?
I have the same problem - extra row of icons that I cannot assign to programs...
It happened to me just after I clicked on the FM Radio icon, I had just installed the TP2 icons which installed that icon but since my phone did not have an FM Radio it gave me a really weird error and that's when the icons showed up.
Hello, I have problems with program,which I downloaded and installed.This program locks messages. Program is running and everything is allright, but I don´t know how to delete message icon in my main menu. I deleted icon in start menu but in main menu, the icon is still there. Can you give me an advice? Thank you...
Michal if you want help, please tell us what device and operating system you have ...
I ´m sorry...I have Samsung Omnia i900 and operating system is windows mobile 6.1
Can you post a picture? It's difficult to understand from your description, is it a today plugin? And what the program you installed?
Edit: I don't know your device but I read a bit on it http://pocketnow.com/review/samsung-omnia-i900?p=2 maybe you are talking about a widget? In this case there is a tab which pulls out a menu to remove widgets, see first pic.
In main menu, I would like to delete the icon of message,in the right top corner. (Pic 7 on your added link)
I am not talking about widgets. Name of program is Lock Down. I found a lot of informations about this program, but I can´t find any informations about deleting of mobile icons.
Ok, I think I understand after I figured that Samsung 6.1 version is different from Htc . You can't remove icons in main menu unless you remove the program that created the icon in settings. As for this message icon I believe it's part of the operating system and cannot be uninstalled.
I hope it helps
Thank you.In our slovak forum people said, that it is possible,but they can´t talk me how can i do it So I have other question. Is there any option, how to remove the program that created the icon? Or what can I do, if I want to read messages secretly? If I open messages in program Lock down, the program asks me for password. But the program is unnecessary, because everyone can reads my messages in menu :-/ . Can you help me again?
Hi Michal,
To remove ( uninstall ) go to Settings, you'll find Remove, click and find the program you want to remove. If it's not in the list it means it's part of the Rom.
As for the icon you don't want to see :
Sync the device, in Active Sync window on your Pc click Explore, navigate to Start Menu/Programs and find the shortcut, remove it or hide it by moving it to another folder. After Reset your icon has disappeared (sorry I didn't tell you before, I haven't been using this OS for a long time).
I can´t find shortcut... Where can it be?
When you click explore, it opens in My documents I believe, go one folder above, it should be the root, there you find a folder called Windows, open it, find Start Menu, click, find Programs, click and you see all the icons.
can anyone help?
hi i have been looking all over the place for defalt icon pack for windows moble 6.5 i realy need the mesiging txting icon if anyone can help plase pm me!
