Despite the 18 icons at the programs tab that i use to launch my applications, i now also have 4 more icons to which i can't assign any program.
If i try to assign a program to any of them i will find that a new empty icon will be created (plus sign on it) and that the assignment that i tried to perform did not work since the launch icon is empty (Grey)
Does anyone have an idea why this happens?
Thanks
I have no idea! happend to me as well..
The apps are however found in
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
numberd 1-19
A couple of times I've found number 100 and 101!? there as well.
I just deleted the ones "above" 19 and everything was fine..
Thanks man!!! That did the trick.
Actually the keys are 0-17, i deleted everything with ID>=18 and everything is back to normal.
Thanks again
Really 1000 thanks ...
I could not understand why I had 3 Tab empty with the symbol to add applications and each time select a new application to me again the Tab empty.
It would be very convenient to add other app's, but if they are only visible but not configurable, much better able to erase ...
1000 THANKS yet, I have solved a problem that annoy me for some time .

Hi all. I am on the hunt for a decent Task Switcher app that will work with WM6.
I used to use Wisbar Lite and loved it but it looks yuck on WM6 as it forces the older (WM5 Close Icon)
What I need is Something that I can launch with a button and will show all the running apps in a pop up window and allow me to switches between them by tapping on an application icon in said pop up window.
And it must not change or add anything to the start bar.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jules
pBar
have you tried the pBar application that is around on the forums? it's freeware and was based on the old wisbar. seems to work well, but i don't think i am using a full wm6...just the beta ish...or wm5 heavily skinned wm6....
do a search and you're bound to find it...

I'm running a PDAviet WM6, it has this in it's ROM. Tap and hold upper-right corner.
I love it when I can answer my own questions
After searching and using a bunch off apps and not having any luck I just tried Small Menu and It works 100% in WM6.
Meets all my requirements
More news or problems as I find them

best app that does all you want
Thanks for the replies.
Vilem. please can you elaborate on that?
I am using Davit ver 3 and have not seen this app.
Sandrobber. Thanks for the file, I have tried the app before but it doesn't match or look good on the stock WM6 start bar. am I missing a setting or something?
So far SmallmenuPlus is the winner for me.
Jules
I have to say, people I know that have been running Crossbow for a few months, have found SmallMenuPlus to be great.
On an unrelated note, I've run SmallMenu pretty much since I got my first WinMob phone, and can highly recommend it. It's not perfect, but it's very useful.
PocketMagic is also a very worth (free) contender.
I don't use Wisbar (resource usage....) so can't comment.

Does anyone know a way to exclude some applications (activesync and phone) from smallmenuplus task list?
Killing the phone process during a conversation or closing activesync during a pc sync can be really dangerous/disappointing.
No, I don't think you can, hence my "It's not perfect"
Try writing to the author, he's still active, although the app only seems to get minor updates these days.

I've been using Dinar HandySwitcher 2.5 from DinarSoft for a good while now. It has the decided advantage that you can also remove the application from memory, or all applications from memory, right from the main screen. Most times the only way to clear applications is through the start/settings/systems /memory route or a hard power down.
It's not free but it is cheap, easy and effective. Don't know if it runs on W6.
Trying it now.
Works fine in WM6.
Thanks
pocket magic
you can chenge the pictures of the start bar in pocket magis but it takes some enginutity and time. your have to edit the bitmap. Play aroung with it enough and I'm sure you can make it even look loke a vista button

@ZaJules,
Which taskswitcher did you settle with in the end for WM6?
Hadn't seen this thread, thanks for bumping it up . So I'm trying SmallMenuPlus and this seems like a really nice (and fast) replacement for Wisbar Lite. The one thing I miss though is there is no soft reset in the menu. I like having that ability to do a soft reset via the menu due to the case I have doesn't have easy access to the reset hole on the side. Anyone know how to add this?
Also, does SmallMenuPlus not close apps when you press the X? Does it just put them in background? Can that be configured?
SKmenu
Skmenu is the one for me. Its not free(for the cascading menu part, which can be deactivated! ), but the taskbar switching works 100% with the demo. I have always used it, its very light, and its accessible 100% of the time= very quick(response speed is the issue i have with the rest of the apps mentioned). Although it doesnt come preconfigured setting it up takes less than a minute, and its easy enough for any level user.
The best solution for me. I also use an Alt-tab application mapped to a hardware button for easy access, like when driving etc...
about taskswicher
sry my poor english
Since 2004 and IPAQ6340 until today wizard/universal/hermes WM6 I have used HaaliTS TaskSwicher-2002.
Lives silently in upper left corner, shows additionally free battery and memory.
Dont needs install, copy exe, make shortcut, all )
Perfect for me and my friends (~25-30 units).
Have tested all here overmentioned progs, but find it best. Small footprint, etc.

And what about this little tool??

Hi, I'm facing a stupid issue on TF3D when I go to slide the 9 icons up and down. Instead of having only two blocks of 9 icons each I have more + icons but if I try to add programs here they are not show and I still have the +...
If I go with a config tool I see the programs I have tried to set to the new positions, I can add and empty them put they still remain not shown in the TF3D.
Any help...

I Can't find a solution...
Strange, its work for me, all items
You installed a tweak. If you search, you'll find out that you can display more than 18 shortcuts in your program list, but you can't assign anything to the new ones. I don't remember the thread, but it had the registry entries listed, so if you find it you can just delete them and all will be fine.

Hi all,
I had the same problem with SwiftBL 5.0 ROM, but I didn't install any tweak for extra shortcuts (I don't know if it was already considered in the ROM).
It disappeared when I installed v5.5 and v5.6 (I haven't installed v6.0 yet).
It was very annoying because the number of buttons kept growing until I gave up using the 'Programs' tab and started to use the programs shortcut in the start menu.
Regards,
problems with the TOM_DiamondProject_v3.3_FRE
TF3D doesn't work with this ROM. I cannot open it. I tried to reinstall it...
Ok, so I found the reg key thanks to pgriffith
"Navigate to ... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher\n
n being the number of the button" ... "Remember the first one is 0 not 1, so top row 0-2, 2nd row 3-5 etc etc"
I have deleted all the ones above 17 and the useless "+" disappeared. Just one stay there, in fact I had 18, 19 and so on till 23 and now I found that I have one numbered 100.
Can anyone be so kind to check if the 100 is needed (default one ore something else) or if I can delete it and solve finally my problem?
Thank you in advance....
Nevermind, I deleted the 100 and now I have 18 full working box ( 0-17 ).
Seems that adding 18 doesnt work, I can't imagine why...
Nevertheless my problem is solved, thank you to every one!
Vytvorte v registru dalsi klice 18 ... 19 .... atd. a pro ty, kterym se to nechce delat (je to pakarna) tak TADY mate regfile, kterej vam prida na celekem 63. Pokud chcete jinej pocet jednoduse si soubor otevrete a editujte.
On my Diamond I'v got now an extra programs Icon in the TF3D programs tab.
This had append two time (hard reset since the first time.
So is there a way to increase the number of icon , since had a extra icon for no apparent reason.
And now when I try to put a program for the 'extra' program icon, it add an other empty icon, look like i can do it every time i want.
Look like a bug in TF3D. Does anyone have ever experience it
Telus HTC Touch Diamond
ROM 1.06.661.1
DIAM500
HV 0080
TF3D 3.0 b29946
I have the same problem too!
it is so annoying i have like 5 extra rolls on the bottom..
oh and i have the sprint diamond with the original rom
It's the original ROM in my phone too. No one seems to be really expressive here about this issue. This is annoying, now I have like 30 extra empty icons that I can't put any program. Basically the second 9 program icon are useless since it's scroll down and pass those.
Don't want to go to hARD Reset... Damn it's suck.(sorry) to re-install everything once a mouth.
About 10 hard reset since august and 1 device replace at the carrier after only 2 mouths.
Just use som kind of reg edit software and delete all entries above 17 found in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
So if you have 18...19...20...ect. Delete those and you will have the normal 18.

Hi all, I used to be able to start my calendar in Month View by setting it in the Options but since i installed a cab file which is suppose to make the scroll wheel more usable, the calendar have been acting funnily. Although it starts in the month view, in less than 2 seconds, it jumps straight to agenda view. Any guide on what kind of tweaks I can do to make it 'normal' again ? Im unable to uninstall the cab file completely..
same with me. i can't launch calendar from today screen in day or month view. it starts in day view and immediately returns in the horrible agenda view.
install the cab file I posted in post #32
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=47352&page=4
Hi mucky, many thanks but it doesnt work for me. e cab file changed quite a bit of my interface appearance and my calendar doesnt even load after installing this cab. then my phone hang while restoring my backup and i had to do a hard reset. any other better ways ?
iago_00 did u try ?
Try udKs ROM. You select month on calender options and it works.

Same with me. Calendar doesn't even start after installing cab. :-(
I think the command line to start calendar from TF3D, is hard coded into manila and cannot be changed. :-(
search for SSMaPa
/thread
***edit 20/12/08*** As BlockbusterF writes few posts below there is a simpler solution than mine. I checked it myself and is working, so i suggest try his method and not mine. My method has some differences. It opens calendar in month view even if you have it minimized in other view eg day view.
For everyone who wants to use the more difficult method of mine this is it:***
After i have take many things from this site ,it is time to give something back!
I managed to make the calendar to open in month view, and not the default day view. I noticed that many others are trying to do this.
This is how i did it. I write a simple (one line) program in basic for ppc, which runs the calendar to month view. You can download ti here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/175093797/monthvew.exe
Is is only 36 KB. Now put it in any folder you want (even in internal storage)
Try to run it. You will see that calendar will appear but in month view. Even if you have already calendar running in the background on day view, by running monthvew.exe it will go to screen to month view.
So the only problem now is to change the link to manila so when you press the button of calendar on screen, not to run calendar.exe, but to run my program monthview.exe (Which will run calendar.exe again but in month view) So the final result will be by pressing "calendar" on manila to have again runing calendar but in month view this time. You can do this by SSMaPa . If you dont know the program read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
Be sure that you know how to use it, and you dont making anything wrong with this program (You can try to change the button of calendar to run another .exe to see that you have learn to use ssmapa, and after to make it run monthview.exe)
After all perhaps you will see that every time you press calendar ,it opens in day view and immediately changes to month view. If this happens it is because you have it opens by its settings to day view. Go to the calendar-- menu-tools- and from the list there set "open in month view"
Now everything will work ok and the calendar will opens to month view at once ..
Thanks for this...
finally
Thanks for your work!
But I have to say that it's already no problem to start the calendar in month view.
Just remove the "$" under parameters with SSMaPA and select "start in monthview" or something like that under extras -> options in calendar and thats all.

I didnt know this. If you do a search in the forum, you will see that me and many others was searching for this, and noone give a solution .Also in all the Greek forums (I am Greek..) many searching and all writes that there is no solution . If what you write is working, forget my post , as it is simpler .
Very cool ;-)

Wow this is great. It's amazing how small of a quirk can be so annoying.
Can you please tell me where to find these parameters/extras in order to remove the "$".
Can't seem to find this.
Thanks so much!
Ehm... I have done the same by setting it under Menu-Extra- Options- start in month view
Yes, but this only work if you start your calendar out of the startmenu for example.
Wenn you click on calendar in manila it normaly always start in agenda mode.
So you have to use SSMaPa to tweak your manila.exe.

Download SSmapa from the link i give , save it in a folder in your mobile, run it.
In the first page check the box "extended init" and press "init". in the messegebox with a question press "no". Now you will see a list of aplications.
Press the first one "calendar.exe"
You will see a box "Arguments" with the value "$".
Delete the $
check the box "patch anabled and "press save.
Now go to the next page "deploy" and press "deploy patch". Restart manila.
Thanks sosimple for keeping so simple! Took me a little time finding that SSmapa but after that, it was so simple.
THanks sosimple for making this process so simple.
thanks

Hey lads I'm running dutty's rom 3.6b and when you click the calendar tab on the manilla home screen it'll bring you straight to month view or whatever you happen to have chosen in the Calendar options. I believe its a feature of the newer versions of manilla. Before dutty 3.6b I was using a stock ROM and it always used to go to the day view.
Cooked ROMs are lovely.
Now you can do this, even in the original rom, with the trick i write ..
which manila file is ssmapa patching when you delete the $ sign from it? I would like to just overwrite the patched version after hard reset through autoconfig instead of running the program.
