Is there a way to customize comm manager (change from 6 button to 10 or change the buttons--replace data connection with 3G) other than using Advanced Config. I can do it through Advanced Config but wondered whether there was another way to do it on the fly that I am missing. Thx.
Did you try looking into the stickied thread at the top of the forum that has all the cab files??
There's a 10 buttom comm manager right there.
I know. I am looking for a utility that switches from the 10 to the 6 or changes the order of the buttons on the 10 or 6. Maybe I am not explaining it well enough ....
Why would you want to change between the two? The 10 button has it all, including disabling data connection and 3G?
Aesthetics. The 6 button on/off looks good with certain themes/roms. Not a huge issue. I guess not a big demand for it.
If you use Kaiser Tweak you can customize the Comm Manager (doesn't change from 6 to 10 buttons or vice versa) but you can re-order the buttons. Give it a shot.
Got it. Thanks.
... Is there anyone that found a way to make the 10-buttons CommManager "dpad-friendly" ?
It's so annoying : you can navigate the homepage of your PDA with the dpad, and then start the commmanager... and there : you're stuck !
Have to touch the screen to choose any of the items (wireless, data, bluetooth...)

Yeah, because it's SUCH a pain to point your finger at the screen and push.
Wow, it's amazing the things people complain about.
If I took your logic, I would ask why Kaiser has a hard-keyboard ? It's so easy for ppl to press the screen
...
I have the aluminum case, and the screen is behind a hardglass !
So you can give a try if you want... but I'd bet your won't even bend the glass.
You didn't say you had a hard case, did ya? I don't have one and I don't know anyone that does. Everyone I know uses the stylus on the screen, just like it's supposed to be used.
Just use AEB to assign a hardkey, I use the windoz logo key, double press toggles BT power, tripple toggles WiFi. You get the picture.
I'll give a try to AEB (my Win button is already reassigned, same for the camera button which triggers the CommMgr...)

Like I said, why would people buy a phone with real keyboard, as there's already onscreen keyboard... That's exactly same scenario.
My question was not about "how could I reeducate myself", but how to turn this smartphone into something even smarter...
Even the ComMgr on the HTC Tornado can be manager from the joystick... (running WM5)
So it's a shame if HTC did remove this so simple thing as focus-ordered buttons...

You bought it, didn't you? Why did you buy it? I'll tell you why - it's one thing to have an on screen keyboard, it's a totally different thing to have a real, tactile keyboard with real keys to give your fingers feedback. You're comparing apples and oranges. Your logic doesn't fly with me, sorry. You can't touch-type with an on screen keyboard (i.e. type by feel).

WOW. You have been nothing but a condescending prick in every one of you posts on this thread. Sorry you don't like the new kids on your block asking questions. If you don't want to contribute anything in an amicable manner, please, leave us to cry in the corner.

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. You made my night.
The OP had a question, and I answered it. If it's not what he was looking for, then he should learn how to phrase his questions in a better way.
I don't apologize for my wording. I am short and to the point.
Lastly, some people will complain about anything and everything. You can't help that or change that.
Ok fine, so you're apparently upset about people asking for tips & tricks... Then I assume your Kaiser was just perfect as-is right ?
(...so I guess you kept the stock ROM untouched, and didnt apply any of the great XDA-dev patches/fixes then)
Anyone with a more constructive feedback, like maybe importing the CommMgr of a different HTC pdaphone ?
I have the Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM. It does everything I need it to. I have, however, applied many of the tweaks and fixes available here. I ask very few questions and do LOTS of reading. I read almost every thread in this forum looking for little tweaks to make my phone even better than it already is.
I have no problems with people asking questions. That is what this forum is for. What bugs me is people who post the same question over and over without reading ANYTHING. (not that I was referring to you)
I was trying to be a little sarcastic with my first reply, but I guess you took it the wrong way.
So then, if you said I was posting without reading anything ...
Do you mean you were able to find a way ? (finaly we'll get something constructive)
I am not really new to XDA-dev, so I know how searching the place works...
Unfortunately, neither the 6buttons nor the 10buttons CommMgr is able to do (apparently) what I'm trying to get.
Hence the post...
Well I highly doubt that you will be able to switch between the 6 and 10 buttom comm mgr. They are both cab installs and require a SR after install.
What about RemE's suggestion? Did you try that? You could also remap the PTT button.
P.S. I wasn't referring to you when I said people don't read before posting.
Hi,
Can any of you wizzards make a reg tweak to add a setting to only vibrate once, only i want to know if its ringing but if im in the middle of something important it does my head in when it vibrates for ages and it so lound.
Thanks a lot
Jason
Chainfire / Nikagl already has, it's in KaiserTweak, which is one of the stickies on top of the forums. (Ringtones section)
If that doesn't do it for you, searching for 'change vibrate kaiser' on this forum using google (see that tab up there) would have given you the manual way with regedit in item #4 and #8.
Please try searching before posting in the future. If you have further questions regarding this topic, ask in one of those threads. This redundant thread is closed.
Guys, I'm very much a newbie to all this and have a few questions which I was hoping for definitive answers to (I've searched the threads and there seems to be some ambiguity)
1) Can the call history and calendar options under the clock be removed/changed? If so how? (some people say "no" but one talks about changing some kind of setting!!)
2)Has anyone got a way to put the black HTC theme onto the O2 branded ignito without loosing some of the text (black text on black background on some tabs)....WITHOUT FLASHING....(I think the answer to this is "no" at the moment but if someone could remedy it I would be grateful. I did try it using info on the forums, but aswell as being unable to see some text, it also seemed to slow the phone response time down to a ridiculously slow level.
3)An idea which I think all newbies would appreciate is a really simple guide as to what are the ESSENTIAL tweaks (if any) everyone should make to their phone. I don't mean an endless list, but simply which ones will increase performance, save battery power etc.
Other than the above points, I have to say that I am 100% happy with my new phone. I've never had a WM type phone before and I cannot understand how I managed without one before. I am making plans to learn the basics of how it all works, then maybe have a go at writing some apps etc (If anyone knows of an 'idiots guide' to the whole WM XDA thing please let me know.
Just for your info in case it helps:
ROM 1.93.206.3
Radio 1.00.25.05
Free phone, 600mins, 1000texts, unlimited browsing:- £20p/m
Thanks in anticipation of useful replies,

Hi Matt.
I'm a fairly novice newbie too - had a T-Mobile compavt IV with the white/pink T-Mobile branding which I did not like at all - and decided to Flash after exhaustive forum research etc .... and managed it with a huge sigh of relief.
Anyway, still would be apprehensive about flashing if I had to do it again
But have been playing around with a few visual tweaks - so here's my 2p's worth - hope it helps.
1) No idea on this one - sorry
2) Found a theme that should allow you to use a cool (in my opinion of course) Black theme - http://sharebee.com/9071012f details with in this forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799&highlight=black+diamond+theme&page=5
first you need an app called Diamond TF3D Config - cab file attached
Then download the Black Diamond Theme file. Run Diamond TF3D Config, click on "Appearence" tab, and under select theme, click on path and double click the folder where you downloaded the Black Diamond Theme file then click on "ok". Now in the box under "Select Theme", click on the down arrow button on the right and select Black Diamond Theme. Then click on save at the bottom of the page. This asks that you reboot, do so and you should have a classy looking Black Diamond Theme
3) Diamond TF3D Config also has some good tweaks that should increase performance - but unfortunately battery life will always be a huge drawback with the Diamond ... my solution was to get a second battery and a desktop charger that charges the phone and the spare battery at the same time - and I carry a charged spare whenever I go out - search e-bay for the battery and charger.
Hope this helps ... good luck
Vijay

2. I can seem to get the tomtom icon on the ain screen - how do I do this?
3. Can I add fun contacts to the DuttyRom so that I can upload pic and more info about my contacts?
Thanks for any response - Being new I do hope you will all tolerate my ignorance until I catch up

1st Welcome to the forums.
Great phone you have with lost of potential and lots of fun. But before you start asking questions and feel frustrated by others ignoring your questions take a look at the WIKI (link on top banner of the page) Most of the n00b questions are answered there.
If your phones has Dutty's rom in it.. then go to Dutty's thread and ask questions there you will get more help that way.
Once again welcome to the XDA have a nice weekend flashing your phone
Also just so you are aware Dutty is no longer cooking for the Kaiser so you might not be able to get all your questions answered about the Rom since it is discontinued.

ive got to replace the screen as i cracked it , a new screen is on the way, with all the neccessary tools, but whilst i have it bits what mods can i do/are there?
ive seen the one that allows you to tilt the screen more
so any ideas
if there were hardware mods I'm sure search would find them.
i have butnot no real sucess,
it hard when people want ot mod their kaiser for a specific reason, i know do what those reasons are, and not everyone has put in the tags or title "kaiser hardware Mod"
thats why i started this thread, to see if anyone know of any mods specifically, the i may know what ot search for.
here are the results
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...e+mod&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
losts of posts with the words, kaiser, hardware and mod, 99% not about what im after but the rest are people asking for info on how to do a mod. and 1 that i have already found and mentioned
