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.
hey, great idea on putting it as a soft key, think i will do that....any idea what the path to the comm manager is though?

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
i have a quick question:
i recently installed the htc home 6 button screen, and the htc home customizer
on the program launcher window there originally was an icon that takes me to the comm manager/wireless manager but i removed in an effort to re-arrange the buttons. but now i cant find it in the list of apps to add.
would it be possible for someone to direct me on how to get it back? thanks.

When you remove an icon from the launcher, there should be an empty space with a circle with a cross in it. Pressing that, should bring up thelist of apps you're talking about. On my device, it is just a few scrolling lines down.
Have you tried just typing "Comm Manager" in the top bar and press select?
unfortunately no luck on the typing in and hitting select. it just goes to the closest match in my case "contacts"
It was originally one of the first six or so items in the selection menu, if its not there i dont know where it would be.
I want the same thing, to add the Comm Manager to one of the launcher buttons, rather than trying to tap the connection icon at the top of the screen.
i use pocket toolman 2 which places a icon in the system tray with a host of other icons you can select. its quick, easy, and free... good app

I am not 100% sure which one but either Schaps advanced config or KaiserTweak one of those two things have option to enable wireless thingy on today screen. It shows your current wifi and bluetooth connections and clicking takes you to connection manager. I would first try KaiserTweak.

Worked out how to do it earlier.
Browse to the windows folder and make sure you've got all files visible.
Look for the executable CommManager.exe, right click on it, select copy.
Browse to windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools right click, select paste shortcut.
Right click and rename the new short cut from, "Shortcut to CommManager.exe" to CommManager
Then it will be visible in the list of applications you can add to your shortcut buttons on the HTC homescreen. You can use the same method for any other applications you want on the launcher if they're not available automatically.
(I pasted the shortcut where I thought it most appropriate on the start menu).
thanks 6thElement. that shortcut worked.
thanks TimeSaver. i used KaiserTweak to enable wireless on the today screen initially.
This trick did not work for me. I have the Dutty WM6.1 Diamond ROM.
I need to put the Connection Manager on the Today screen, so that it can show me what am I connected to, but it does not show up in the Today item list.
I created a Registry key for iy in HKLM\Softwate\Microsoft\Today\Items and it showed up in the list, but still does not work, brobably because I am linking to the wrong DLL.
May someone, who has the CommManaget on their Today screen see what are the correct Registry entries in HKLM\Softwate\Microsoft\Today\Items for the Comm Manager and post here?
never mind my previous post - I found that what I was looking for was called "wireless" and can be added through the Kaiser tweak....
Hi,
I am trying to find a way of assigning the hardware key to launch the backlight application. Preferably the button the the top left of the device which is currently used for the voice speed dial.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ronan
I changed mine from Voice Dial to Comm Manager by going to the button icon in settings and there is a list there, Im not sure what programs are on there but its a start.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, unfortunately the backlight option is not on this menu. I wonder if it is possible to add it via registry entry or some other means.
Ronan
hmm i kno there is some kind of "display off" program u can find, then u can go under the buttons settings and select that program to be under a certain button... see if u can find it, ill try and find a link for it and send it to ya.
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 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?
hi people! i have installed on my diamond this app: pocket informant... the latest version...
i was exploring the program, and i found there was an option to turn the program in full screen...
the problem is now i can't turn off that option, and pocket informant is always in fullscreen mode, and it's impossibe to access to the menus, editing what we want, exit the program... is real annoying....
does anyone know how to disable that option??
thanks!!!
I have no solution for you how to disable this option.
To turn off fullscreen again, you have to change the registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WebIS\PocketInformant]
"FullScreen"=dword:00000000
Be sure to quit PI before changing the registry key.
You should be able to press a hard key on the phone and it will take it out of full screen.

sorry for asking you that, but how can i change the registry? i never did that, and i really don't know how to do it... do i need to have some program for it??
thatks!! and by the way, do you know if the version 8.5 fixes this problem, witch is really annoying??
Had the same problem. Contacted WebIs and got the following reply
If you do have an issue where its not coming out of full screen mode when it should, then you can fire up a reg editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WebIS\PocketInformant and delete "FullScreen".

It does actually; mapping Button 1(hold) to something (usually left soft key)will drop PI out of full screen mode as advertised.
I've got mine mapped to Comm Manager; if PI has focus in full screen it will drop out of full screen and retain focus, if not in full screen Comm Manager launches

i'm here trying to map the buttoms, but i don't understand how to do it...
can you explain me please??
thanks!
Start|Settings|Buttons| 1) highlight the bottom option "Button 1(hold) and 2) select action from the drop down menu...option <Left Softkey> is the recommended but Comm Manager works for me as "dual use".
Button 1, of course, the Call Answer (Send) key...
Had the same problem with my HD2. The registry edit worked like a charm - I just changed the value in Fullscreen from 1 to 0.
Very nice fix.
