a soft reset of the diamond is easy with the stykus.
but i would like a link in my startmenu that reboots (or shutsdown) my phone.
does anyone know of a program that can do that (freeware offcourse)
Quick Menu

that actually works really nice.
when i press the start flag, i get the quick menu.
when you press start you get the htc start menu.
rotating the screen still does not work well.

Anyone know of a plugin or other program that places a power button right on the today screen or the bar at the top? I could not find anything on the site. I had something like this in a Palm version in a previous phone.
It would be nice to tap a power button as I finish tapping away at whatever application I am using at the time.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
A power button to shut down the phone? Or a power button to put the phone to sleep?
Here though no freeware ($2,99)
If you install Quick Menu (damn good app - try and find it on this site by searching a little bit) you'll also find the "reboot" link.
Dunno if it is interesting for ye but it really is a fundamental app I'd suggest everyone.

Have you looked at psShutXP? It can be placed on the today screen (task area) and gives you the options to turn off the screen, fully shutdown, soft reset, and hard reset the device. Grab it here for the Kaiser.
Just run the .cab, run the .exe, and in the windows that pops up select "Today Icon" for it to display on the Today screen.
Spb Pocket Plus will also enable you to do this. Of course it also has a ton of other, very substantial features. IMO, well worth the money.

Shut off device, not the radio.

Very nice. Wish it was a bit smaller.

Nice program. Will probably link it into my HTC Home for now. Thanks.
i use psShutXP too but it doesnt work so good for me, the shutdown button only turns off the display...
Got a question about Wisbar Advance 3 on the AT&T Tilt.
I've noticed there is something odd in the performance of the cascading Start menu function.
When I click on the start button icon on the screen, the cascading start menu works great.
When I press on the silver start menu "hard button" on the device, the traditional start menu comes up, like when Wisbar isn't running.
When I slide the phone open, and click the start menu "hard button" on the keyboard, the Wisbar cascading start menu works, just like if I had clicked on the start button on the screen.
1. Has anyone else encountered this?
2. Is there a way to get the silver start menu "hard button" to function just like the start menu "hard button" on the slide out keyboard?
Thanks in advance
i believe there is a setting in Wisebar adv to change this so when you click the windows button it will open the cascading menus. If no one confirms this, Ill load it on my phone tonight and double check

I found that setting, and mine is clicked.
I think the Windows button on the slide out keyboard is mapped differently than the Windows button on the front of the phone.
You are correct. I found this rather annoying, until I downloaded AEButton plus and remapped the key. Handy for lots of things but use with caution!
Just go to Start->Settings->Buttons and remap your Start button to the Cascading Start.
I tried that. When I do that, the button brings up the cascading start menu, then closes immediately. sometimes it does it so fast, you can't see the menu even pop open.
Is there any way to soft reset the phone wihout pressing the power button? Would be nice with a shortcut in "Programs" for example

I recommend you to use psShutXP, you will see it in this forum, It has other useful features such as turning the screen off. I have it on my start menu.
So...
1. Install S2U2 v.16 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
2. Disable any other locking programs or settings; could be used for autolocking only "Turn off backlight if device is not used for 30 sec" on Start\Settings\System\Power\Advanced.
3. Install a registry editor (my favorite is SKTools v.4.3.1.2)
4. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phone, but nothing is listed there), and write here: \Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe
5. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKText and write here: Lock (or anything you want for the name of the button)
6. Close registry editor and... you could lock your device anytime you want!!! The left soft key that was "Phone" on default TouchFlo 3D is now "Lock" (the Phone key is already present on hardware buttons, so nothing to loose...)
Many thanks for this to A_C and mkhattab.
But this version seems cannot lock the Home key, any idea?
if you press the home button, it will unlock, but only for a second. It then automatically goes back to s2u2 screen. Although it is still possible to use touchscreen during that brief moment..
thnx.. this is a great tweak!
i did the same thing after installing the s2u2 but after a while i realized that this method has 1 disadvantage: anytime you want to lock you have to go "home first" and only in the "home" tab you can lock the device.
how i solved? i used HButton and put the lock on the "call" hardware button.
now, it doesn't matter in witch tab i am..long press on "call" and my diamond is locked.

Guys am i doin something wrong?
I got my HTC Diamond yesterday and been using it for a day now... i just press once on my power button every time i dont use my phone, and in that "mode" my phone is locked and in standby mode too. U cant use any keys apart from power key which brings my phone from "stand by" mode to normal mode?!
Is this way safe? To me, looks ok.
I think my rom is 1.93.0.0. this is original phone rom (not cooked one)?
Any suggestions/advices?

start-settings-system-power-key lock-> check "do not lock buttons" , and after this you could use my instructions on the first post to lock your Diamond with style...
If you want, I could provide you an registry tweek that will lock your phone automatically when the light is dimed. To unlock, you should press a softkey "Unlock device".
Or you could tell me what is your more convenient scenario for lock and unlock and maybe we could help you!

Modify registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable , change from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked.

I installed the CalliGrapher 7.0 in my Diamond. After a required soft reset... the phone just freezes in the PIN Check loader. If I press the Home tab it directs me there but nothing is accessible. It's just frozen and nothing works... just like a screenshot of your home tab. How do I uninstall this app without having to do a hard reset... can I somehow access the Add/Remove Panel from my computer?
Edit: I checked again and found out that the touch UI is no longer working. I played around with the buttons and it seems that I can somehow controll the phone via buttons but I can't get the Start Menu to open so that I can reach the Settings Pannel.
To make it short: How do I access the Add/Remove Pannel using buttons only? ( no touch )
Edit2: Eventually, I managed to uninstall the CalliGrapher app using Pocket Mechanic and using only buttons but it didn`t solve anything... I still have a non responding touch UI and I can't come up with anything that would fix it... other than a hard reset. Any suggestions for a non responsive Touch UI? It's kinda frustrating to work a "Touch" Diamond using buttons.

Maybe in safemode lots off phones are set so that if you reboot in a certain time 2 or 3 times it will automatic ask you or you want to boot in safemode.
Good luck
Willem
I had no luck with the safe mode... rebooted 5 times and nothing happened, no safe mode option. There has to be a way to get me into that Add/Remove Pannel using buttons only...

Did you try the safemode way for the second third and so on time before boot was complete, I mean you have to softreset before boot complete again.
Hope this helps

I tried and it didn`t work... I managed to get into the file explorer and I`m trying to find the "Settings" shortcut from the Start Menu... Do you know where it is located? I would use the search option but I can't type in letters and such... I started looking in the win files but it is kinda taking me too long. If it is a Start Menu shortcut then it must be somewhere within the Windows folder, right?
Edit: I found the "Settings" folder but when I open it, nothing... Tapped to "Show All Files" but no result. The Add/Remove Pannel is here but I just can't see it! How do I make it show?? Can I find it elsewhere?
The Icons in the "Programs" folder seem to appear. I pretty sure the "Settings" icons are system icons...
