Manila Settings Tab - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi all,
Anyone know what the link or shortcut is to the manila settings tab. I want to change my left softkey to go to the settings tab, similar to how the right softkey goes to the programs tab.
Does anyone know what the link or shortcut is? including full path.
Thanks

Help needed
Can anyone help here?

I'm familiar with your plight; the site is huge, the sea of information is VAST, the search engine helps but only a little, all while everybody loves being an AS*HOLE!
The path to the settings page is this:
\windows\manila.exe --switchtopage settings.page
if you're making a shortcut, then point it to \windows\manila.exe
and pass it the argument --switchtopage settings.page
I hope this helps buddy...

How to change the main menu soft button?

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!
I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in
Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

wow, thank you very much mtiberio!
your link really hit the spot!
Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.
i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want
was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

You will need to reset your device for it to show up in your programs list.

I think it isn't possible!I also tried to manually change in the registry the tab number with the same number you want to add, but i got two identical tabs with the same program shortcuts and if try to change one in a tab i have the same result in the other tab too!I tried with the contacts tab too, but with the same issue!!
Maybe someother know how to fix this, if possible!!

Hello, is it possible to have some sort of shortcut program such as cLaunch(er) as an item within the HTC Home launcher tab? If so, then we could just go to the launcher tab and open up the secondary launcher. Just a thought, although I have no idea if this is possible or not.

tf3d program tab

is there a way anyone can add more then the default 18 programs into the programs tab in tf3d
thanx guys
anyone????
Go to your registry: HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgrammLauncher\
There are entries from 0 to 17, you could add more but some ppl report problems with it!
k thank you
how do i add more entries???
What would be super-neat is if you could add a tab for each swipe, so a left swipe gave you another page, up swipe, down swipe and right swipe all gave their own page as well.
You could have office stuff-up, system stuff-down, fun stuff-right, media stuff-left or something. That'd rock.
No idea if thats possible though, I couldn't code my way out of a wet paper bag :>
Cheers for the tip, i'll try it.

That would be really great! Maybe someone can do this. I'm not familiar with programming for win mobile.
i would love for someone to answer my question!
I didn't figure out how to add them either, looked a bit complicated to me. If you could copy-paste-rename the entries already there it'd be easy but me reg-editer didn't allow me to do that.
same with mine :-( please someone help!!! with a link to a better reg editor
Not as easy though

Hi guys,
I just tested this , if you add new Keys (18/19 etc ) to the registry , tf3d will
display the additional empty slots , will allow you to select a program for them , but will not
save your changes ... i.e. these will always remain empty .....
Even if you change it from the registry and add a program in a new slot manually .... tf3d will ignore that
So there must be a different place ( or hardcoded in manila.exe ) which needs changing too
i dont understand what you are saying???

Huh , I didn't think my english was that bad
If you edit the registry and add Keys for additional buttons , TF3D will show them ( as empty ) but they will not work ... I.E. you can't assign any program to the buttons you added
So the registry hack alone is not enuff

how to check manila version?

i searched and searched and searched here, ppcgeeks, and all over the phone but cant find how to check the version of manila. i see some tweaks and mods only work on certain versions, such as mun_rus's extensions. so how can i verify which i currently have? thanks in advance.
At Settings tab, scroll to the bottom. There is some version information.
(not sure if it's what you want, though)
there is nothing in the settings area that i can find thats shows the manila version. please be specific
When at Settings tab, put your finger at center of screen, then move it up.
edit: included a shot to show what I mean.
holy hell! never knew that was hidden there. thank!
For me ther's nothing there!, on clicking it open one ureadeable page (even in bigger font available) in opera......

cko2 has the correct answer. Check the registry. If you are a noob like me and immediately asked "how do I do that", here's a tool I found that does the trick:
CeRegEditor
You run it from your PC while your phone is connected, and you can view and edit the registry from a Windows GUI. Btw "HKLM" is short for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Btw, my settings tab also says "About (Copyright Information)" but no version number, and it turned out to be v2.1.19xxx after I checked the registry, so that's a good guess if your says the same.
PHM Registry Editor
Or use PHM Registry Editor. Install it onto your device, and you can view/modify whatever registry key you like. At your own risk of course.
But, as stated above, /HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Manila/Version

Change "Notes" Application on dialer

Hi to you all. I wonder if anyone could help me, as i can´t find any help on older threads. On dialer there´s a button "Note". During call, if clicked, take us to, i guess, standard WM Notes application. How can i change this shortcut to Screenwriter or Apmemo?
Thanks,
C´mon guys this is not a hard one I suppose. Or is? Regards.

lol or look through reg @ phone settings mind you i think it's hardcoded "but could be wrong"
New htc song plays in background while placed on hold
You both are not helping at all. I read somewhere that the spirit/goal of this forum is not that kind of behavior.
I don´t need standard notes at all. I think that if i can find the executable and the parameters of the link on the button, i can replace it with a shortcut or even a mortscript.
Anyway thanks for your reply as now i know you both can´t help.
Regards.
Um so the look through the reg for phone doesn't help?
It's not going to be a .lnk and as previously stated the button will most probably be hardcoded.
Looking throu reg finds nothing also i doubt another software would follow the default format of note.
So my hunch says no you cant.
I can´t find a clue on registry. Thanks Stylez.
