Problem after installing HTC home Customiser

Hello everyone, i asked this question in the 'post your today screen' thread but got no answer so will try asking here:
I recently installed the htc home customiser and changed a few things around and generally had a play with it to see what i could create from my today screen. I then decided i was happy with how the original htc one looked so i changed it back. Unfortunately i have a slight problem.
Originally, under the htc home section i had tasks, appointments, tomtom, etc etc showin up and there was a scroll bar on the right hand side that allowed me to scroll down the list, all while keeping htc home in the same position at the top. Now though, i have a scroll bar that extends all the way up the right hand side of the screen whereas before it only went as far as the bottom of htc home. It now covers up part of the date and the sound settings button. When i scroll down my list of shortcuts, it now also scrolls htc home also. (i hope my description makes sense)
It is very annoying and also makes my home screen look ugly. Does anyone know how i can get it back to how it used to be?
thanks very much in advance!

You can fix this by updasting the registry directly. There may be another way, but off the top of my head, I don't know.
Check your entries under the registry item: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items
Under there, you will see an entry for every Today plugin you have available in your Today settings window.
Select one and you see it has entries called:
- Enabled
- Flag
- Order
- Selectability
- Type
under each one.
- Enabled denotes if its checked for your Today screen (1 is on, 0 is off)
- Order denotes the sequence it is on the Today screen. The lower the number the higher on the screen, so usually, HTCHome is the lowest enabled since it at the top.
- Type denotes whether it is one that is "movable" or not.
Type is the one that you need to modify. Type can be 0 (moveable) or 5 (non-movable). Type 0 ones can be moved up and down in the Today settings screen, where as Type 5 ones cannot.
The issue is that if the Today screen content is too much to fit on the screen, it auto adds the scroll bar. BUT it will only make the part of the screen occupied by movable activated plugins scrollable.
Before you customized, it HTCHome was likely a Type 5, and it was Order 1 (or something low since its at top). And all others were Type 0. Thus the scrollable section DIDNT include the HTC Home. Somehow, your HTCHome type is now 0, so it is scrolling along with everything else.
Hope this helps. Of course, manually modifying the registry has inherent danges, so be careful, and I take no responsibility if you mess up (disclaimer ).
This might be configurable and modifiable via HTC HOME Customizer app itself, but not sure...I just know the above is how I would fix it if I needed to.

Cheers for that mate, i will have a look tomorrow and see if i can sort it out.

in the home customizer go to the "options" tab and check "Lock plugin on the today screen" ... this will solve your problem!

Today screen keeps scrolling up
I don't know if this is the right post to ask, but you guys seemed pretty knowledgeable about today screen...
What happens is that whenever I scroll down (with the scroll bar) my today screen, it keeps scrolling back up to beginning screen automatically.
Only way to avoid this is to scroll all the way to the bottom and then it stops there. Then I can scroll up to see my today plugins which are in the middle (e.g. if you can scroll 4 times down - 4 screens of plugins - and I want to see my plugins which are 1 screen down the initial today screen, I have to tap all the way down and then tap up 2 times to see the plugins I should have seen tapping just 1 time).
This is so annoying. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

This is for mbernstein:
You hijacked the thread but since the op had his issue resolved I can offer you just a little input. I had the same problem you mention. It started after I installed a few SPB programs. I'm not sure if it was the Pocket Plus, Mobile Shell, or something else but it was definately an SPB proggie. Once I uninstalled the programs the issue went away. I'm disappointed because they are good softwares.

Thanks. This should be the case. But it is a shame as Spb softs are quite good (otherwise).

Yes, I unchecked SPB today plugins and it took a long time (right one) for the screen to go "home". thanks.

Shortcuts

Hi, maybe some one knows if there is any way to make shortcuts
as an example to make ß [ALT225] or just a ^_^... or???
.... it seems a looong way to find them down in symbols, if you write a text in a note or a Word doc.
in my old HP HW6515, ther was 2-3 symbols "behind" each direct symbol on 1 key.
Hope anyone can help
Thanks, Tomasmj

For the most commonly used ones you can just press the "fn" button and it will place the symbol behind it (ie the one in blue on the hardware keyboard)

how to switch off the "videocall" shortcut button

Just upgraded the ROM to 1.9.
prior to the upgrade, when I press the phone button, it shows me the telephone pad screen with shortcut button to choose "Contact" on the bottom-left. Now only can select video call.
Anything I can do to get the "Contact" short-cut again.
Please please help me!!!!!!!
thanks..............................

i'm sure that a reg edit somewhere will help, but tbh, why do you need to go into contacts?
using the on screen keypad in the phone screen, type the name of the person as if you were using t9.
For example, to find George, you would type 436743 and all the contacts with George in their name will be displayed. use the down arrow to highlight the one you want to call and then hit the call button.
RTFM and learn how to use your phone dude......:-(

Most of existing users "complain" about this changes and lots of discussion about this topic already. You may want to look at the following post for some solutions

change buttons beneath the T3D scroll bar

Hello eveyone,
I´d like to know if there´s a way to change the two buttons beneath the horizontal touchflo3d scroll bar.
I use the bElite99b ROM version and there it says on the left "Telefon" and on the right "Programme".
I´d like to change the "Telefon" button to a calendar button. So that it reads "Calendar" and when I press it, the calendar opens up.
If it is not possible to change it through an already written program: does anyone know if there is a registry key for this button?
Thanks in advance for any answer.
bye,
Thilo

solution found
ok, I found the solution myself while reading other threads.
Here it is:
change the registry key values:
'\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKText' to e.g. "Kalender" and
'\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKPath' to e.g. "Windows\Startmenü\Kalender.lnk"
bye,
Thilo

[Req] A quick way to send a picture to a person.

I often send pictures to my friends; especially one person. Is there an app or patch to the Sprint picture viewer (or any viewer) that would add "Send this to Joe" to "Send this to a contact" and then automagically do it without all the normal clicking and searching and stuff?
Thanks

Yeah, in Manilla (touch flo 3d interface) go to pictures, hit the desired one, when it's full screen tap the screen, a context menu will appear, hit the envelope icon (3rd from left to right), choose your method of delivery. If you have any problems, post back.
This is for the HTC Album application

Yes, thank you, thats what I've been doing but there's still a lot of steps. After ten or twenty pics it gets aggravating. I meant being in album or camera, tapping or holding down the stylus and a "Quick Send" menu pops up.
Joe
George
All Favorites
Other
Tap one and it's on it's way.

You could also install file explorer extension, check "preview image" and you'll see thumbnail of the file in file explorer, then in the context menu click send. Again brings sms/email and other options
Sorry I can't think of anything else

Thanks. It was just an idea. Maybe I'd better learn how to program.
