Thank you
Thank you very much you made my day....thank you....thank you...thank you.....
one more thing...!!!
thanq chef...but i have one more question... how can i change the colour of the text on the home screen.....????i googled it and couldnt find anthing except negative answers....well i would be prefering a registry hack instead of a program...lets keep the Diamond clean shall we!!
Sry, don't know how it's done. it hast already been discussed here on Xda, but they found no real solution ( except UI Tweak, which didn't work really).
Edit:
Hah! found something else:
It can be done (probably^^) with Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3, which would be the solution using a tool.
But you say you prefer registry, so i've found this.
(the second part of the text)
I'm not sure for which winmo version it was written, but it sounds like a solution. let me know if it works!
Greez
okay...
well i looked at the registry thing and it didnt work out.....can anyone tell me how to use advanced config to change font colour....cuz i cant seem to find it...by the way chef thanks for the effort..

Hi
Hada quick look through forum cant find any useful info on other topics.
Does any oen knwo a way if changing the outlook left softkey from delete back to new sms??
I was using my old wizard for 2 years and its kind of a reflex action to hit the mail button then left for new message. Ive allready deleted 3 messages as a result of this.
If any one knows of a reg edit or an 3rd party app it would be really handy and allow me to be a phone robot again
Looking for a solution, too...
thanks in advance..

See if this .cab helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343469
Nope tried that one, it only seems to give me the option for chaning the 2 keys on the "desktop", it had that pre installed. Thanks for your input though denco
Oh well i guess i`ll just have to get used to it, its not the end of the world but i would have liked to be able to change them
If anyone else knows of any other apps please let me know, or if there a way to revert back to WM5 office (Outlook, Excel, Word) that too would prob so the trick
I recently had a xda IIs before i found out that the qwerty is busted. I've searched the site and found out that theres an app which is "Fingerboard" that can be used as a keyboard aside from the default one that xda has. Now the question is that, can we install it to the BA? ive checked the thread about that and it says there that it need to match the screensize (QVGA,VGA,WVGA im not sure)And if possible I wanted to use that as my default keyboard since Im really not comfortable with using the stylus..
Thanks in advance for all your replies...
Hopefully I wont offend someone or make someone angry about my questions.
1. you are probably talking about this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677
it is called fingerkeyboard 2.1 and it is great.
2. yes, you can install it to the BA, just pick the QVGA cab installer.
the screen (size/) resolution is very important for apps like this, because, it wants to bring you bigger keys, so you can control the soft keyboard with your fingers, on the other hand, it needs practically all the keys, the small soft keyboard has, without being too big, so you couldn't see the rest of the screen, hard to find a good way to do that, but fingerkeyboard2 is a good program doing all of that (in he 2.1 version). in case you were wondering, the BA's screen is QVGA, meaning 240*320, in contrast to VGA, 480*640 and WVGA 480*800.
3. i am using i as my default keyboard, too. there are different ways to set this as default, tweak programs, registry changes... but the easiest way to do so is, to install SIP change, pick fingerkeyb as default, and set the timeout to 50seconds, meaning, whenever you soft reset your device, sip change will start and set fingerkeyb as default, and after 50sec. the program quits, because then it is definitely set.
installing both apps isn't hard, just 2 cab files you copy to your device. fingerkeyb needs a bit of configuration to match your country's layout and other things like sound, vibrate, auto-correction, but it is self-expainatory, plus you will find a lot of help in that particular thread, so look it up, install it, have fun.
P.S. i forgot to mention the 2 biggest advantages: it is (in contrast to SPB keyboard) FREE & SMALL in installation size.

As expected of chef_tony!
Thanks for the quick reply and very in-depth explanation. I will try that one now. hopefully someday I can be of help to you too sir. Cheers!
Windows bottom menu tabs.
I would be grateful if COOKS could put a little more though into what tabs are placed at the bottom as I dont think these can be changed.
For instance, why put a phone button on there?, why a WIFI button, contacts, etc when these are already duplicated in other screen menus.
Of course this can be subjective but a little more thought could make a good ROM a great one.
For me the most useful tabs are, task manager, programs and menu.
Please note that I do appreicate all the hard work that is done on these ROMS, all of which done free of charge, I hope this thread doesnt sound ungrateful, it isnt meant to.
It is very easy to change if you don't like the one that is there...
really, I have never found an "easy" way without hacking the ROM, it there setting somewhere that doesnt require reg hacks?
in his topix ROM, kwbr has included Softkey Manager to change the button setting...
P/S: not sure if this works for those WM 6.5.x ROMs (just in case you are) but i been using this to change the softkeys...

did you use our dear search function? of course they can be modified, tell me any tweak program that CANNOT do this - as well as editing it on your own isn't too hard ...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila, there HomeLSKPath, Text, same for RSK
Search is your answer. These can be changed easily....see posts above

i have been trying all the roms from topix , energy , xannytech, miri, maryone ...but almost 99 % of the roms have the problem as shown in the image.
when i type something in the keypad , some other word gets highlighted and some other word is displayed ....
but once i press spacebar in the keypad the "wgat" from the display changes to "what"
i have tried searching for the fix in google and xda site too.but havent found anything to fix this.
as of now only two roms dont have this problem
RUU_Duttys_HD_WM6.5_Sense_2.1_Holy_Grail_R0 and
Energy.BLACKSTONE.23529.Sense2.1.16.Feb.2010
( i may be wrong here , but i have tried nearly ten roms in the last month.)
i have attached two images . you can see the difference ..( 1st is improper , 2nd is proper )
so is there any fix for this problem...any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks

Almost all cooked roms comes with T9 enabled, just disable it.
Anyway "what" looks more correct than "wgat" ?
T9 is not much use if you not have the correct language set.
To disable T9, just go to settings tab, Locale & Text,Text Input.
but the problem is that i send lot of messages . so typing with t9 ON feels better..
you had specified about "language set".. i have already selected "english" as the language..
(i havent clearly understood by what you meant by "correct language set")
I have been wondering this too. Previously in was on Dutty's R15 for over a year and with XT9 and spell correction enabled you would always see the suggested word on screen.
Have recently tried all the ROMs on the scene and settled on Topix 3.5.6 and all of them look like the first image, you see exactly what you have typed (wgat) but when you press space it is corrected to the first suggestion (what).
This is not a major deal because in effect the XT9 and spell correction are working. I just find it annoying because i would like to see it corrected on screen as previously on Dutty.
So far as i am aware it has nothing to do with enabling or disabling T9, i wonder if it is simply due to a new IME package for the touch input, i've looked at the registry with no luck yet....perhaps Dutty would know?!
Any suggestions welcome!
still no luck ???
I've noticed that Topix 1.5.6 for the HD2 has this working properly. Tried copying the registry settings and the et9 files but no luck. Still trying!
I dont see what you mean.
This is supposed to happen (the word is auto corrected). if you want what the SIP thinks is wrong to be entered, you click on the word. Maybe the ROMs you are saying work correctly are the ones that show old behaviour or something.
Have you tried changing the value of "AllowChange" to 0 in \HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip?
I.e set "\HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip\AllowChange" = 0
This should prevent the word changing to soemthing else you've not typed.
Let me know if it works for you.
All the best
thank you "oluwaponmile".. i will try it today and let you know..
and "ask768" i am not sure how to explain it to you exactly...when you type small words its ok..but when you start typing bigger words for example " immediate , probably , afternoon, or any word bigger than 4 to 5 alphabets , then it becomes an inconvenience.
anyway will try what "oluwaponmile" has suggested...
oluwaponmile , i tries what you suggested..but a new problem has come now. i am not able to open up keypad.i can see the icon for the keyboard at the bottom but no matter how many times i click it , nothing happens....
this is preventing me from changes the value back to "1" in the registry ...
i have tried everywhere but the keyboard doesnt show up.... soft reset dowsnt help. looks like i have to do hard reset...
I also tried the above registry change witht he same results, keyboard doesnt appear! So no luck there, will keep searching...
@sumedh_vsk - don't hard reset! either use a PC-based resitry editor (such as CE RegEditor) to change the value back or just copy the number '1' from any other file name and paste it in, that shouldnt need the keyboard either!
(double post!)

Hi to you all. I wonder if anyone could help me, as i can´t find any help on older threads. On dialer there´s a button "Note". During call, if clicked, take us to, i guess, standard WM Notes application. How can i change this shortcut to Screenwriter or Apmemo?
Thanks,
C´mon guys this is not a hard one I suppose. Or is? Regards.
Dump the M$ app and rewrite it the way you want ?

lol or look through reg @ phone settings mind you i think it's hardcoded "but could be wrong"
New htc song plays in background while placed on hold
You both are not helping at all. I read somewhere that the spirit/goal of this forum is not that kind of behavior.
I don´t need standard notes at all. I think that if i can find the executable and the parameters of the link on the button, i can replace it with a shortcut or even a mortscript.
Anyway thanks for your reply as now i know you both can´t help.
Regards.
Um so the look through the reg for phone doesn't help?
It's not going to be a .lnk and as previously stated the button will most probably be hardcoded.
Looking throu reg finds nothing also i doubt another software would follow the default format of note.
So my hunch says no you cant.
I can´t find a clue on registry. Thanks Stylez.
