I noticed a strange problem.
Inside text editing application that do not warp lines (Orneta Notepad Mobile and any other notepad style application I tried) text selection (with stylus tap and drag) only works when lines a short and orizontal scroll bar is missing or disabled. When lines are longer and orizontal scroll bar appears text selection is no more possible.
Does anyother noticed this problem?
Any solution?
Selecting text works not so fine anymore.
When I hold the syles on the screen sometimes it works, but not oke.
Or when I hit with the styles on a word he selected that word.
With me other WM phones (HTC to) it was possible selecting, copy, paste in most places. It was very simple te select a pease of tekst.
Does HTC running a app that has a conflict with the WM selecting option?
I have searching registry if there is maybe a key to change.
I don't like the slecting way on the Diamond2.
I hope someone find out what the problem can be.

True.

I found a partial solution: there is a way to make a list of applications that should be ignored by TouchFlo. Inside these applications scroll by tap and drag stop working but text selection does work.
Find the registry key HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs
For any application that you want TouchFlo ignore create a string value and assign to it the name of the application .exe file (important: the value seems to be case sensitive)
For example in my case for Orneta Notepad Mobile
HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs\IgnoreAppNP = "NOTEPAD.exe"
Thanks, it works.
I have now add strings with poutlook.exe, PIMConnectivity.exe, Notepad.exe and Explorer.exe (resco) .
In those apps it works now fine.

how do you remove the icons at the bottom of the today screen in WM6?
i have already disabled Tray launch, but those icons still exist...see picture.
Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000
remove TrayAp.exe if exist
[HKLM\init]
Launch92=
look in
[HKLM\Software\HTC\TrayApplet]
search registry for tray and see what it comes up with, be careful, backup reg keys before editing
Delete - init_tray.lnk if exist from windows\startup folder.
Look for other links in this folder that might create a tray icon
When you start DFregedit or DFrunningApps, it always installs a tray icon. I believe there is no option to disable this, all you can do is not to close it with close button but with menu>exit. Or be real nice to DotFred and ask him for an option to disable the feature.
There's a blue icon in the corner that I do not know, is it Bluetooth related or a suspend or reset button? Possibly placed their by software you installed or it came with your ROM.
The buttons there are: DFRegedit, Battery, Comm Manager, Rotate Screen, Pshutoff, Bluetooth.
ok will try the removal from the registry, i guess most people love this type of setup - with tray at bottom, i find it not nice to look at, since my icons on top are large and the ones on tray are tiny, no balance...hehehe.

Hi
I am trying to do the same, found the values in the registry, edited them properly with a regeditor, but no changes. After a soft reset, the values are back as before, unchanged...
Any idea, what is happening? PHM registry editor has no "save" option, so I don't know other than to exit the application via "Tools - Exit"

Yes, this can be frustrating. On your desktop PC every change to the registry is immediately permanent, on your Hima it's not always so.
Count to 20, exit reg editor, count to 20, switch off, count to 20, switch on, count to 20, soft reset USING software!, not the hole/stylus method!, check result. Most of the time just using software soft reset also works but not always.
y dnt u guyz use CEregedit..it connects ur ppc to ur pc via USB and copy's all reg entries
please give a download link
ok here u go Maggy
wince regedit : http://rapidshare.com/files/72691245/ceregedit_setup.rar
Thanks a lot, this looks not only better than any xda regeditor, it even looks better than XP regedit! Any idea if a version for editing the XP registry exists?
yeah i have one called Registery Workshop..i will post its link A.S.A.P
im just even using the DFRegEdit that come with the Shekhar ROM, by the way, when u edit the SKIN.XML, u just open it with NOTEPAD, do editing, save, then to APPLY changes, open Settings - Today - Items - RLtoday - Options, the press OK for the SKIN to make the changes....then your TODAY screen changes.
When using the rlToday how did you make the scroll bar on the side go away?

Works fine.
does anyone have the path for contacts ? i dont find it, and the poutlook.exe does not work.
thanks
...and I need the path for "Phone"... for back to original state...
For contacts, you have to edit the 3 keys describes by sudboy :
HomeLSKArguments (or HomeRSKArguments) : modify value to "Contacts"
HomeLSKPath (or HomeLSKPath ) : modify value to "\windows\poutlook.exe"
HomeLSKText (or HomeLSKText) : modify value to "Contacts" (for exemple)
It works fine for me (Previously I always got an error message about trusted certificate ....)
For "Phone" the file is "PhoneAgent" (\Windows\PhoneAgent.exe) but I didn't test this one

For some reason this does not work for me. I've replaced path and text with my desired choice, and it does not load my desired program although the text shows what I want. I have the paths correct, tried other programs, still nothing. I've left arguments blank each time (maybe that's the fault?) but I don't know exactly what goes here.
I did a test, and changed everything BUT text. it still loaded camera, even though the path was pointing to another program.
any help appreciated. thanks!

You have to restart. If the path is correct it will work.
yes I've restarted. anyways, I created a thread, it seems sprint users are affected by this issue of it not working.
Hi
Just to check, did you remove menu enhancement in 6.5.0.0.5? it doesnt seem to work.
Anyway, fast rom, thanks!
Well, after snooping around trying to find out how to change the kaiser's soft keys using registry only, I finally found the solution after peeking into PocketCM's registry!
Here's how to do it:
1. Using a registry editor (I prefer PHM RegEdit), navigate to the first left one, which is:
Code:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
You'll notice two strings there: "Default" and "Open" (no quotes).
"Default" is the name of the left soft key, so if you wanted the left soft key to say Internet Explorer, just change the value of of the string to say "Internet Explorer". "Open" is the path of the file you want to open when you click on the left soft key, and it has to be an .exe file! So, if you wanted the left soft key to open Internet Explorer, you would change the value of "Default" to say Internet Explorer instead of Calendar, and you would change "Open" to \windows\iexplore.exe. That's it!
Now, for changing the right soft key. The interesting thing is, that it seems you can only change the path of Contacts to open a different application, although some programs allow you to change the name, so it must be possible to change the name. Anyway, to change the path of the right soft key, open your Registry editor, then go to
Code:
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
now, edit the value of 1 to the path you want, and it must be an .exe!
That's it, let me know if I missed something!
Thank you so much!!!!!
It was the only way I could change the left soft key in the new V10 ROM by L26!
Not even SwopKeys was working.
The only thing missing is the name of the right softkey, can you tell me how to change it?
The other soft key is (on some devices)
Code:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

lol, thanks, I was trying 111 and 114 for some reason, good to know!
In my latest custom rom for myself this is the registry setting I made in my kitchen....works great...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@="Contacts"
"Open"="\\windows\\iContact.exe"
This was placed in the rgu located in the OEM_Lang_409 folder.
Just some information...This rgu contains all the key settings so you can change them to what you would like while cooking
Any idea on how to change the left softkey while in phone mode from "Hide Keypad" to "Contacts"?
Perfect! I now have the Comm Manager available with one touch. Thank you!

any idea how to change for this situation?
I want to change left key to run Agenda One's month calenda. There is a link file "Agenda One-month.lnk" in the Agenda One's directary to show how it called. However I am not able to adapt to the registry. The content of the "Agenda One-month.lnk" is #"\Storage Card\Program Files\Agenda One\Agenda One.exe" goto month
so in registry how should it formated ine String value?
"\Storage Card\Program Files\Agenda One\Agenda One.exe goto month" doesn't work.
Anybody help?
I would like to know how to map the soft keys found on the HW keyboard- seperately from the outside soft buttons.
This is kind of a small thing, but when I remap the Buttons in Settings I thought it would be nice if the button icon reflected the actual program to which it was mapped or an icon of my choosing. I know, “picky, picky, picky”.
I noticed that in the various keys there is an icon sub-key which lists the program and an offset value where the icon is located for that program.
All that you have to do is enter the location of the icon and the offset.
Easy, except that the offset is not always the same location and the icon may be in something other than the .exe like a Control Panel applet (.cpl) or .dll or you may want a different icon than the standard one.
The solution that worked for me was to use a program called RViewer by Vicott Wong to look at the icons. He also has an icon resource file that has some sample icons in it that you could use. There are some other resource files listed also.
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=80127 for the program and a tutorial.
His program will extract icons and do some other stuff but all I wanted it for was to find where the icons were in a .exe, .dll or .cpl. which his program does and allows you to browse to find the icon and the offset. He shows in his tutorial how to change shortcut icons also, which may be even more fun than this.
I wanted to change three icons.
The first was the envelope on Button 2 since I had mapped that to a [Toggle Screen] process which is included with Wisbar Advance 3 by Chris McKay. (http://lakeridgesoftware.com/ ) This turns the screen completely off when desired.
The [Toggle Screen] was controlled by a WAProc.exe program in the Programs folder but it had no icons I wanted to use so I chose the one from Backlight.exe in the windows folder. In the “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2\Icon” sub-key I put “\windows\Backlight.exe, 101” in the String Value.
The next one was Button 6 which I assigned to Comm Manager and assigned the String Value “CommManager.exe, 101” in the 40C6 Icon sub-key.
The last one was button 6 (Hold) which I assigned to Voice Command. The 40C7 sub-key didn’t have an Icon sub-key so I just copied and pasted the one from 40C6 and gave it a String Value of “\Windows\VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl, 1” (Of course, no quotes used in the String Values)
WARNING: Once you start looking at all the different icons available you can easily waste a couple of hours just looking around.
Here is the result when I go to Buttons on settings:
I've recently applied the reg edit to be able to view 5 items per row on my programs folder which now makes that page quite usable as a launcher. Now I'd like to assign my left soft key to open up the programs folder.
I'm using Soft Key v1.3. When selecting applications for the key, what is the name of the Programs Application that, when pressed, will open up the programs folder (ie, same as Start/Programs)? I've tried many that appear to be it but none work.
I've searched and searched on xda and actually found a few results but none that worked. I've tried creating shortcuts, even found a 'folderview.exe' file to put into the windows folder but, when pressed it opens up the default programs folder of only 3 icons per row. It seems like this would be an easy thing to do but I'm stumped.
If this made any sense of what I'm trying to accomplish, can anyone help please?
Any news on this?
I've been searching for hours about this subject and didn't find anything.
I'm stuck with this also, folderview.exe does open the programs menu folder but doesn't render the 4 icons per row, instead it presents only the standard 3 icons/row.
Anyone knows how to overcome this issue?
Thanks
BUMP!
Does anyone have a solution to displaying the 4 icon layout in folderview?
Or is there an alternative way to display folders in the program launcher?
Cheers!
@ question 1:
Start Menu\Programs on Soft Key
I actually found an application that is even more flexible:
WM5NewMenu by Saman.cz
It does NOT mirror the above mentioned folder,
but even better: you can configure it just as you like.
E.g.: I created a few submenues (Main, System, Connectivity, Navigation, Utilities, Games) and added the most important prog links to each submenu.
Give it a try and spend some time.
Hey, it's freeware.
@ question 2:
4 Icons in a row
best use Schap's Advanced Config (I used 3.0 as 3.2 did not work).
Then under the 1. menu item "user interface"
select "horizontal icon spacing" and change value to "112"
select "vertical icon spacing" and change value to "115"
select "icon title font size" and change to "6"
... perform a soft reset and ... you're done
Thanks M_O_N_A_C_O, but that's not what we are after.
We know how to set the folder with 4 columns and we don't want a new menu.
What we would like to have is some way to open the "programs" or "settings" from a button or softkey (like WMguy post) and still be able to get it with the 4 columns display instead of only 3, which is what happens if you do it with folderview.exe
