is there a way for me to erase all sms( sent or received) at once instead of trying to do so 1 by 1 ? if there is a option to select all and then delete would be great but i have not found a way to do that...... thanks
i dont have my phone in front of me, but i do believe if you are looking at the all folders screen, the one that shows inbox/outbox/sent/etc. you can go to options and somewhere in there, maybe in tools or something you should be able to delete all messages. sorry i cant be more descriptive, but its there, just look a bit.
One way to do it - use your stylus and drag down, starting with the first msg you want to delete. It will start highlighting all the messages as you drag downwards. Once you have all the messages highlighted, tap and hold and a context sensitive menu will appear, allowing you to delete all of those highlighted messages.
Do a search for InboxExtender, it's a simple cab that adds a "delete all" and "mark all as read" option.
Use the on screen keyboard and ctrl A to select all then hit delete
Scroll selecting them all and hit delete
Menu / tools / clear sms/mms but this takes out even stored messages not just in box and sent
one small question i seem to have managed to turn mine upside down, by default new messages appeared at the top of the list now they seem to appear at the bottom of current messages, anyone know how to reverse it again ?

At the top, you should have Inbox and Received with down arrows next to them. Click on Received and you should get a dropdown menu. If you click the same menu item that is selected, it does a reverse sort.

found this here on the forums. It adds a few extra menus...
When you are in the messages screen, select Menu / Tools / Clear Messages. It will erase all inbox and sent messages.
Is there an app that would allow me to switch between tasks without going through Task Manager from the Start screen?
I tried installing Duttythroy's task 2.x and my AT&T Tilt complained about insufficient permission.
TIA
http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
here you go!
its my favorite app
htc task manager
AE button plus has this feature.
HTC task manager
Is there a way to assign a button of my Tilt such that if I hold it down it will open up the task manager from any app that I am using so that I can switch to another app?
Start | Settings | Buttons - choose the button you want to change (probably Button 6??) and then select the Task Manager application from the drop list at the bottom

Very strange. I don't see the "Task Manager" as one of applications that I can assign any button to.

you won't, it's not an app that you can assign to a button. Not sure why poster told yo to do that, they obivously didn't try it first.
another solution is the Alt+Tab task switcher that's part of PocketPlus4. I assign it to the PTT button and use it just Alt+Tab on Windows.
Wisbar Advance puts icons for your open apps in the Taskbar up top and you can switch by tapping on them.

I did try it first, but I have DotFred's Task Manager installed, so it was listed. I know realise the OP meant the HTC Task Manager (the one in the top right of the Today screen?), which won't be listed......my bad
Your best bet is to go with one of the other suggestions, or consider VITO TaskSwitcher (see here).
Hope you find one that works for you

Thanks for the suggestion. What I wanted is some simple way of assigning a button to a task manager which would allow me to jump between programs without going through the Start screen then pulling up Task Manager on the original ATT Tilt rom. I think there are a few suggestions that I will try out.
I just hate putting all this stuff on/off the Tilt. Ultimately stability is key since this is a phone.
Don't forget MortTasks, which you can also add to the menu in a Mortbutton & then have a whole set of shortcuts hanging on your single button press.
There is a programm - called "alttab.exe" jsut search. i haven´t it ehre at the moment!!

Well remembered @papamopps!! That was originally suggested for Touch users who are a little light on hardware buttons The relevant post in the original thread can be found here - saves you looking for it

Thanks for posting it. I am now trying to figure out the easiest way to create a short cut so that I can assign it to a button.
edit:
found it
Easiest way (?) to create a shortcut to the AltTab program......
Copy the AltTab.exe to \Windows on your device.
Open File Explorer and navigate to the AltTab.exe program
Tap and hold the AltTab.exe and select Copy from the popup menu
Navigate to \Windows\Appbuttons
Tap and hold on a white space area and select Paste Shortcut from the popup menu.
Tap and hold on the "alttab" shortcut and select Rename from the popup menu
Rename it to "Alt-Tab Task Switch" - or something meaningful to you
Job done!!
Go back into Start | Settings | Buttons and re-do the assignment; you should now see "Alt-Tab Task Switch" listed in the available options.
Hope that helps,
Mark.

Do you know if there is anyway to create a shortcut for HTC Task Manager?

I followed your directions but I can't seem to get alt-tab to appear in the list for button assignment. Tried this process on an ATT Tilt running Schap's 4.30 rom. Is there another folder?
FYI... put the short cut into the \windows\Start Menu folder and it will show up in the buttons lists.
Alright, I did some searching, but like any forum, it's generally messy.
I was interested updating my Nook, to either Froyo, or Gingerbread(?), or the latest firmware from B&N...
Rooting it, and retaining root.
Perhaps getting GApps
Definitely getting Market access.
If anyone could point me to the best links in an orderly fashion, I would appreciate that many folds.
http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting
http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor
good luck
you don't even need to search. all of the threads are on the first page of the dev forum.
That may be but I wasn't aware that development was for the general user. I'm new here using my husband's account.
Thanks for the help guys.

What launcher are you using, stock?
Yes... is there a method to do it with stock via ADB or a launcher you recommend?
Try LauncherPro or ADW, or just search the market for "Launcher". After you install a new launcher, the next time that you press your home button, you'll see a dialog with the list of installed launcher apps with a checkbox at the bottom.
If you have SoftKeys installed, I'd set that as the default (ticking the checkbox), and then configure SoftKeys to passthru a single press of the home button to LauncherPro, ADW, or whatever you want for a home screen manager/launcher.
Once you replace the stock launcher, to add a widget, perform a "long press" on the home screen. This is simply pressing on an available (no icon) area of the home screen for ~2 seconds. You should now see the "Add to home screen" dialog where you can select from several actions. Select "Widgets" and a list of available widgets will be displayed.
HTH
Ok set soft keys as home now how doi configure it to passthrough?
Go to the app drawer and launch SoftKeys. Click the screwdriver icon on the toolbar that appears at the bottom of the screen. This will bring you to the SoftKeys configuration screen.
Select "Virtual Home Button"
Select "Normal Press"
A list of all installed launchers will appear.
Select the one that you want the SoftKeys virtual home button to launch when it's pressed.
Press the back button
Select "Physical Home Button"
Select "Button"
Select the option "Single Tap Launcher, Double Tap SoftKeys"
Now, when you press the home button, you'll go straight to your default launcher. A quick double-press will take you to the SoftKeys app, which acts as a task switcher, among many other things.
Thanks that was a big help guys.
Hey all,
I just ran into this site and being a new user of Miui, it totally blew my mind.
Now I know that most of these could be found on the miui forums but for the new guys/gals here you are
This was totally brought to you but http://www.maketecheasier.com
http://maketecheasier.com/17-hidden-tips-and-tricks-for-miui/2011/05/15
1. Long press on the icon in Toggles to launch the settings for that icon.
When you pull down the notification bar, you will see the Toggle settings for plenty of options (such as WIFI, volume, backlight etc). Long press on any icon in the Toggle mode will launch the setting for that icon.
2. Built-in Screen Capture function
One of the lacking feature in Android is the lack of a built-in screen capture feature (like in iPhone). Not anymore. With MIUI, you can press the “Menu” key and “Volume Down” key at the same time to capture a screenshot. The printed image is saved in the “MIUI: directory in the sd card.
3. Press Home key to preview screens
Pressing the Home button once will bring you back to the Home screen. Pressing the Home button button will show you all the screen thumbnails. You can also ad/remove screens from here.
miui-preview-screen
4. Slide from left to right to quickly delete a message or a call log.
In the SMS or Dialer app, swipe left or right any entry will bring up the Delete mode.
5. Move home screen icon easily
Hold down an icon by one hand to enter Edit Mode, and then use the other hand to slide the screen to move the icon to the target screen.
6. Launch Music Player in lockscreen
In the lockscreen, double tap the time zone to launch the Music Player. (The Music Player is hidden by default, unless a song is playing)
miui-lockscreen-music-player
7. Quickly access the Dialer or SMS from the lockscreen
In the lockscreen, hold down the icon of Call or SMS, and you can enter the responding program.
8. Activate the torch from the lockscreen
In the lockscreen, hold down the Home button to enable the torch.
9. Access shortcut menu from contact image
In the Calls, SMS or Contacts app, tap the contact image and a shortcut menus will appear.
10. Search via voice recognition
Long press on the Search button will launch search via voice recognition.
11. Switch the Battery UI to show percentage
The default battery UI can be switched to display percentage of left battery capacity. To do so, go to “Settings -> System -> Battery Settings -> Battery Indicator Style -> Percentage“.
12. Long press on the Home button to show History
Like any other Android ROM, long press on the Home button will show the recently used apps. However, in MIUI, there is also an App Killer and App Manager button. Swiping the popup left will show the search form.
13. Setting up IP dialing
If you need to add an IP prefix for a particular number in a strange land, you can set it in Settings -> Common -> Calls Settings. Turn the “Auto IP dialing” ON and set the IP prefix and current area code.
14. Send SMS for rejected calls
When you are not available to answer the phone, you may slide up the panel to reject the call and to send a message to the caller at the same time.
15. Enable 720P to record a video
If your phone comes with a camera that support HD recording, you can enable 720P in the Video mode. Run the Camera app and switch to Video. Select “High” -> “720P” in the pop-up menu of video quality.
16. Quickly uninstall an app
To uninstall an app, simply press and hold the icon until the trash bin show up at the top of the screen. Move the icon to the trash bin to uninstall the app.
17. Quickly read SMS and mark it read
In the lockscreen, press down the SMS button (without dragging it down) to reveal the new incoming message on the lockscreen. Once you have finished reading it, double tap on the SMS button to mark it read.
The above is all the hidden tips and tricks I know about MIUI. What else have I left out?

ive learnt .. actually i read abt miui from the site before installing eybees version ..
Is there any way to remove the highlight reel button as default from gallery ? I delete images more often than I do use this so I would prefer the delete button to be on the main bar rather than the menu
I had the same thought. Annoyed by an extra button push to find delete.
