HTC Home

Can this be changed
IE can i remove the weather option from the list of 5 that sit below the time and email etc?
can this section be adjusted at all?

You can use the HTC Home Customizer to customize the HTC Home Plugin. You can get more info from the forum by searching or check out the HTC Home Customizer's website at http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html.

You can also just goto (on your Kaiser):
Settings>Today>Items
You should see a third tab on the bottom called "HTC Home". Click on that and you can check/uncheck each option (e.g., Launcher, Weather, etc).
Good luck.

ok thanks guys i have activated the htc home option as the 3rd tab int he settings options
but is there a CAB file that will allow me to add in my own custom tab instead of say music for example
i would like to add tasks or something like that

From what I've read you can't customize the HTC Home with what you're asking. If you need something like that you should look into SPB Software as they have a more configurable home screen/launcher/etc.

how do i activate the 3rd tab in Settings> Today ?

If you don't have the third tab then HTC Home is built in and can't be removed without a reg edit (like Sleuth's Rom I think). All you can do is switch the HTC Home plug-in on or off.

you most likely have the old version of the plugin which does not have the third tab. uninstall it and install the one in the link i am posting which is remade to work on wm6 and have the third tab option. but you cant make your own tabs, but you do have option to remove tabs.
1. uninstall the old one.
2. soft reset
3. install new one.
4. soft reset again.

adding the comm manager to the today screen

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
tvos

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....

Deactivate HTC X-button to use Spb close button?

Hello all,
I prefer to use Spb Plus "close" button as opposed to HTC X-close. Unfortunetly the two icons overwrite each other, even though Spb "add on" is the utility that is actually working.
Question is how do I remove/deactivate HTC X-close?
I am using Duttys latest 6.1 ROM (thanks Dutty, again!!) on a Kaiser.....
Many thanks
John

Start > Settings > System > Task Manager
On the Button tab, uncheck Enable Quick Menu on Today screen.

good stuff...sorted....many thanks!

flashing rom and radio wasn't a big deal, only take my advice newb and hard spl and jocky's security unlock first, then you're pretty much safe trying whatever. I would first try dutty's latest rom with its own radio. It's da bomb.

Quick menu, X, and ok problem!

I've searched through the forum but can find nothing about this problem.
For some reason the quick menu no longer drops down.
When in a program or menu such as programs (WM) the icon top right has the X or ok on top of the quick menu icon, both showing as in screenshots.
I have triend enabling and disabling quick menu in Settings -> System -> Task Manager -> Button.

you need to pick one x button or the other
if your gonna use windows go into quickmenu options and disable the x button and all related options
if your gonna use quickmenu x than go and disable windows task manager via control panel

I want to use quick menu, so I have both Enable the "X" button end running programs and Enable Quick menu on today screen, which i'm sure was default (i have htc rom 1.37.405.1 wwe). then when pressing button, list would drop down with x, spanner, and mem icons and list of running programs. this no longer happens.
to disable win task manager in control panel do you mean in the registry. if so which key, i can only see default and group.

Installing some other applications can interfere with HTC task manager and give exactly the symptoms you describe. For me it was installing Spb Mobile Shell. Sometimes after a soft reset it would work for a while and then stop working. Sometimes it wouldn't work at all. Could this be your problem?

Could be I suppose although it was working fine for at least 3 days after installing and using spb. Could it be from using task manager through spb and if so is there a way of changing it?
anyway i might get rid of spb mobile shell as i don't think it's that good and see if that solves it.
SOLVED: or at least back to normal after removing spb mobile shell disable buttons in task manager disable touchflo soft reset and enable all again.
update: i've installed spb again to see what happens, so far quick menu is still working so I'm guessing problem occurs when task manager is used through spb.

The Original Task Manager can be deactivated from Settings/ System/Task Manager

Advanced config broke tabs

Hello,
I installed Advanced Config after installing .Net 3.5
I ran it with the default values thinking that people who wrote it are more experienced then me, and clicked done
Advanced Config asked for soft reset and I let it
Then something weird happened
Whenever my Touch Pro is in landscape mode the tabs, not the ones on the main menu, but the ones like on the bottom of the screen when you choose settings do not have any text unless they are selected
Also, if I have to enter some text, in for example a browser, the text does not appear. It is entered but I cannot its transparent.
Anyone have any idea what is happening?
BTW: I am running the default ROM, did not do any flashing

Cleartype
check the advanced config menu and you'll find additonal settings.
One of them should mention cleartype in landscape.
Turn that off and your text will appear again -it's a known bug.

Thought it was it
Unchecked ClearType > Soft reset
Still the same
EDIT: I don't know what I did after that but now it just appeared
Thanks
