[Q] My diamond has extra "+" icons in "Programs" tab. - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

First, I would like to begin by saying I have tried searching on both Google, and using the forum search provided here. If I missed something, please lead me in the right direction.
I have an HTC Touch Diamond in Canada from Telus. I have had it for about a month, and I must admit, it's beautiful! Anyways, I was flipping over to my Programs tab, and decided I was going to add a program to one of the tabs. I flicked up, and up came the next 9 "+" icons. (total of 18 icons, correct?). So I add the application to the icon, and it returns me to the programs tab. I scroll down, and what's this? I have an extra "+" tab (Total of 19 now). Each time after adding an application, another appears. Now, you might think this could be cool, and useful, but first off, you can't add any program shortcuts to these extra "+" icons... if you click on them, it comes up with the Add Program thing, and if you click on it, it returns to the program's tab, without the program. Secondly, they cannot be removed. If you delete one of the Program shortcuts that you added, the extra one does not be removed. It just stays there, and its quite annoying.
After playing around with the TouchFlo 3d for some time, it seemed to fix itself for a little bit, but as soon as I tried to add a shortcut, they added themselves again. A soft reset does not solve, and I really don't want to do a hard reset. I have .NET framework 3.5 installed, and I have installed a few applications (only after reading reviews, mostly coming from these forums, other than google maps). I have ROM version: 1.06.661.1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Hind1
This is the Programs tab that i'm talking about

Easy fix. You need to delete a few registry keys.
Goto HKLM-->software-->HTC-->Manilla-->ProgramLauncher
You should only have number 0-17 (total 18). Delete anything greater than that e.g. 18, 19 etc.

Thanks for the quick reply!!
Worked perfectly. Awesome.
Thanks,

Glad that's sorted my friend.
What a lot of people would want to know though, is there a way to actually add the extra icons and use them? It seems by editing the registry you can add as many as you want, but it seems to be impossible to use them. Being able to have more programs on this tab would be very useful!

Hmm... I never thought of that!
I'm sure it wouldn't be all that hard... I am not really a wiz with windows mobile, as I just picked this phone up about a month ago (my first windows mobile device owned), so I probably won't be able to figure it out, but if there's anybody who wants to try, that would be awesome!

Great Software for your Kaiser

Guys I am sure some of you have come up with this program already but I thought posting a link to it since its free and works great with the Kaiser when you want to switch/open/close applications without pulling out the stylus.

Link (FIXED)
I configured it to open with the PTT button and then use the wheel to move/select between the options (Active,close,close all)
Hope you find it usefull.

Thanks - I haven't seen this before.
Your link is dead - looks right but goes to the wrong place. I got it with a copy/paste though.
I installed it and it gave the "this program may not display properly because it was designed for an older version of windows" thing. I downloaded the WM6 version and am running it on WM6.
The program did not appear in my Applications. It was not available to be assigned to a button either.
It was sitting there in the Program Files directory though, and I could run it from there.
Looks pretty good. I like the controls and everything - but its a bit disappointing that it doesn't pull the correct icon for every program and you have to do it manually. I don't see myself doing that - so if I'm going to use it I would use it with the default icons.
I think I like it and would probably use it if I can get it to assign to a button.

To be honest its only when its assigned to a button that you will see the benefits specially if its the PTT which is next to the wheel.
Funny you say that. I tried checking my buttons settings and now it doesnt show up on the list of applications however its still assigned to the PTT button so I dont want to mess with it lol in case I screw it up..
Have you tried re-installing it?
I agree with the Icons being a pain although we tend to use the same applications very often so it might not be too much of a hassle.
UPDATE
Its back on the list of my applications available. I have assigned it to button 6 PTT

If you copy a shortcut to the programs folder in windows you can assign a button...
Too bad I actually use PTT :-(

Why dont you try the Camera Button?

close all app

Is tere a small program (kind of like vibra switc) that if you pres it, it just closes all programs like instead of going to start_settings_system_memory_close all. i'd like to assign it to a button. thanks
wktask has that built in its features. You can either do a gesture to do close all or just hold the top corner(where the x would be) to close all programs.
its free at http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
It's in my original TyTN II without any custom ROM.

Thanks. I already have the HTC manager but i want to ditch it because it's really slow. I just want a really simple 1 icon program that shuts off all current running programs. Basically i assignt it to the PTT button and it shuts it all off. I don't want a separate manager that does it, i already have that. Thanks
So there's no such app?
this is what you want, I along w/many others use it and it's great, the close all is just a small feature of what it does. http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wktask-v1-1-7-3b.html
Thanks for the link, but not what i want. Just a simple close all program (few kb's) is what i'm looking for.
for me i once used "zapIT!"
but i guess since i´m running netcf3.5 it is not working anymore and freezing your device.
you can assinge it to a hardwarebutton also...

my fault. for me it also runs only ap by app. it makes possible to get the "x" on a hardware button.
even if it was annoucend in the thread i got it to close ALL apps. never did for me - yes you´re right.
but i like the function of assinging...
Ah i see. I use aebutton plus for what you are talking about. I have a long press of the Ok button to close the app. But i need one that stops all current running apps.

Advanced Profile

Hello,
I am new here, and have the Smartphone HTC S730.
I would like to have a profile that would automatically change during my working hours to vibrate and go back to normal like say after 6:00PM.
Now I see Automatic field stating the profiles will switch when my calendar shows me as busy, but this means I will have to go in and set my time as busy every week from Monday to Friday for the whole year?
Are there any easier ways for this?
I have done some searches but most sites are not Model specific enough to get a good answer.
there are several applications to set different timers to change profile (or make a lot of similar automatizations)
try searching auto flight mode on google or try smarttoolkit (my schedule),activekitten chronos or other similar programs...
Well I solved it using SBSH Calendar, using a custom appointment.

Thanks znial for your suggestions, I may have to try them.
Today I was hearing my mail and phone ringing all day!
The profile kept changing itself back to normal 3 seconds after I put it on Automatic!
So I loaded SBSH Calendar and it seemed to stick to the schedule for about 15 mins then it went back to Normal Profile again! so my phone has a mind of its own, and I'll get a beep for every email as well, and I don't even have a sound set for that.
Could it be any of these pograms I'm using:
Geodesic Mundo Radio
Google maps
Microsoft Live search (gonna remove since it wont search in the NL)
PocketX Photo Contacts PRO (not too sure I like that one looking for a better one)
SBSH Calendar
SBSH Clock
SBSH Facade
SBSH Pocketweather
SBSH MyList
Others not worth mentioning
I had many themes running at times, like myPhone and that had a program called phoneAlarm, which seemed to ever controlling, but there uninstalled, just wondering if theres any lingering files or registry entries that may affect my profile?
it could be or not, sorry i don't know
but if you think that, maybe you could try to do an hard reset. reinstall everything you need and look if the problem persists.
or wait for people more expert than me.
sorry again if i condn't help you anymore
best regards
Z.
i think that phonealarm has a feature for scheduled tasks and profiles too, but i never used this application.

Windows Phone 7 lockscreen for 6.5.x

I found this great lockscreen today, but there were some things which bothered me, like the built-in background, so I made my personalized version of it.
Result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's very sililar to the original lockscreen, but this is what I changed:
-removed built-in background, so you can choose your own
-cleaned up code and
-moved the clock and appointment, clock and appointment also disappear now when showing the seperate notifications to make room
-3 colors, I could make some more on request (not too many... )
Thanks to Cendaryn for the orignal lockscreen
Edit: Version 2
Now when you click on the unlock button to show the notifications, only the appointment disappears, and the notifications show up under the time and date. Maybe there is not enough place for all the four notifications at once, but I have never had this yet, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Hey,
This looks awesome, however, after installing it, I do not get your lock screen. In fact, I get the old school WM6.1 lock screen with just the unlock button.
I'm running a Touch Pro 2, and I know there are sometimes some crazy HTC customizations.
Would you be able to list the registry entries you make and maybe the lock screen image files/directions so I could manually place them?
Sadly, after installing it, and then uninstalling it, I now no longer have the 6.5 lockscreen back, either.
But I'd rather switch to yours anyway.

First of all, sorry for the late respone, and thank you for your intrest.
I don't exactly know why it shows up the winmo 6 lockscreen. Which version of windows mobile are you using, 6.5, or 6.5.3? Maybe I am using some property for the auto-hide of the appointment wich only works on 6.5.3...
But I understand what went wrond when uninstalling: on installation, it simply overwrites the existing locksreenfiles, and there is no back-up (I don't even know if it's possible to make back-ups with cabs, if somebody knows, please tell me). So on unistallation, your entire lockscreen is gone I have made a cab to reinstall the htc lockscreen meanwhile.
It looks nice, thanks for share
Cool Thx Bro

Question Please help..

Anybody knows how to turn on Auto Arrange app icons on the Asus Zenfone 8? ... it's so basic already years and i was looking anywhere and couldn't find how to make it auto arrange the apps icons / shortcuts on home screen and other "pages"... i mean that e.g. if i delete some app or it's shortcut, it's automaticall move all the other apps to take it's place... just keeping it in order... very basic and therefore odd it's no where 2B found easily...
Also for moving the app pages from one place to another, like if you want the apps to be right before or after some widget... it's very frustrating.. in Android 10 i think it was by marking some app (With V) on the edit page mode, so the bottom horizontal ribon of pages shown, then simply long tap and drag and drop the entire page to where you want.. but non of this here... it's very frustrating so any help would be very much appreciated here...
Thatks all ahead and have a nice day..
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question. Personally I don't have this problem, since I use just 5 folders to store my most used apps by category.
May it give you some insight in how to rearrange your phone in to a tighty experience.

An folder is created by dropping two apps on-top of each other.
Cheers.
Edit: I should probably rename this folder to something like Daily
