Novice Wing Modder with Some Questions....

Hey folks, I got my Wing a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I had a treo before, and this makes me much happier. I had gotten into modding the UI a bit and playing around with the best combos of third-party software on my old treo, so I started playing with my Wing. Well, I've gotten probably mid-level with my technical modding competency thus far. I'm comfortable with most progs and mods I've found below actually flashing the ROM, and I'd think about that too, but I've gathered that most of the TF roms out have trouble on the Wing. So far, I'm overclocked to 260, tweaked some stuff in the registry, installed the HTC Touch UI minus the cube and all that, but I'm not quite happy. So, I have some questions:
On the HTC Home 5 tab skin:
1. Is there any way to put custom icons in the launcher area? Not just style-wise(though that would be good), but that link to things that aren't on the list? I'd really love to but a button that would take me to "settings" in there, like the one that takes you to "programs". I have a few other ideas too.
2. On the weather tab, I know there is a way to add cities to the "select city" list by getting the city code off of accuweather.com and changing the registry, but I can't figure out how to get the code for my city when I look it up on the site...I search it, and it comes up, but where is the code?
3. I put the HTC black theme on here, but I wondered, are there any others available? I know I've seen a blue one, and I think I've seen pictures of an HTC Touch that had a red theme....
Other Stuff:
1. I tried to up my page pool to 6mb like it says in the "all you need to know" thread, but the preparation app wont work....I install it, but nothing happens after that....I can't find it to open or anything else...Is installing it enough?
2. Is there any way to keep wm6 from putting the recently used programs on the start menu?
3. Is there any way to change the two links on the bottom bar that the soft keys are mapped to? Not change what the keys are mapped to, but like, change "Calendar" to "Settings" or "Contacts" to "Messaging", for example?
4. Is there anything out there that would let me navigate my phone with my finger? I know certain programs have this capability, like Opera Mobile's latest beta and PocketCM(which I use), but I'd like it on all windows that require scrolling....
Apps:
1. Anyone know the best app to use to stream radio and/or tv on my phone?
2. What's the best way to watch youtube? I wouldn't ask, but I've found like three or four different threads/articles on ways to do it, and I don't know which I should use. I prefer to use Opera as my browser, but I can use PIE now and then, if the process actually lets me watch it in my browser....
3. Can ya suggest any good games?
Well, thanks in advance for any help you can give. I've been trolling here for a while, so I know there are some very smart people here and I have faith. Sorry for asking so much, and forgive me if I should have broken this up a bit into different threads, but I'm trying to perfect my phone, and this was basically what was left on my list....Any other tips on how to achieve my goal of making a nice, clean, finger-friendly UI and putting the picking the best apps would be appreciated too.
Peace.

Ok, I figured out the HTC weather thing, and the today softkey thing, so I'm good there. Any help on the rest?

I can cover a few for you but any more's gonna cost ya....
flash your phone with either of the touch roms out right now and you will be able to finger scroll in nearly all applications.
try avotmv, or search using google for similar programs for streaming videos(avotMv includes youtube as well as google).
Many streams to tv stations can be opened with WMP directly which makes it alot easier to connect to them by saving them as PIE favourites. You just need to find 'em first, I would suggest doing that from your computer first.
I've recommended Flux Challenge before, ill do it again...apart from that I don't run too many games from my pocket pc. Seal Volleyball is kinda fun too.
Maybe some others can assist you with the rest
cheers

PPC to iPhone

Friends,
Been messing around with the apps out there to convert the ppc to iPhone for fun.
I noticed in the settings, it brings up the six icons – weather, music, mail etc. How do I expand that section to include more icons? I know how to add but the background needs to be lengthened.
Is it possible to have more than one view? Example I have 30 applications on my ppc and like to create short-cuts to them. Can I have more then two or more screens for them?
Lastly, the effects of the applications closing, opening. I saw the one program and it didn’t seem to snazzy. Can you recommend any other effects programs?

My dear friend, get ready for some " use the damn search button"
What apps out there ? different apps have different function and customization.
The best iphone emulator , I think, is ifonz.
If you just want the today screen of icons, UL do a better job. Integrate with some other apps from PCM's . A_C's ... you will have a upper than iphone interface.
You seem like to open thread for almost everything you want to know. This is not every welcome by hostile peeps here
Again , with the "Search" button , a functional "read" ability and time, you dont have to use " creat a new thread" .

Alberz,
Actually, I already have iFonz and the cool apps already installed. I should have phrased myself different.
Besides the common apps found in the ifonz setup, what else is out there that might have been missed? I did a lot of searching, customizing the phone to look like it and so far it's pretty slick..
Probably won't last a week and I'll revert back, but some of the apps like Pisel Browser and the toughflo is sweet.
Tvos

there is a thread in dev and hacking about the newest version of ifonz. You should go there and ask since peep over there is more interested in iphone UI and apps.

I just downloaded iFonz and it is a very cool app. I like it better then the other one I was working with, no disrespect to the author, did a great job but iFonz seems easier to setup. Still never a less, a lot of work just getting the phone to look like a iPhone..
thank you,
tvos

HTC TMobile Wing...HELP

Ive had this phone since february and im lost on how to change the display options on my phone. i found a great website for theme and a gr8 program for making themes also but i want to change the appearance the main display i tried installing but got lost in the middle of the process. Can anyone help me?

We can try but this is the forum for the HTC s730 "Wings" the T-Mobile Wing is a different phone and has its own forum.
What do you mean by display? You want a new theme? Different resolution? What appearance are you talking about? Button / Icon location color and such?
Need more info!

I mean as as far as different fonts and changing the way the menu and time look on my phone & im sorry I thought I clicked on the htc tmobile wing threads

Oh I dont mind if you post here, but you wont get a lot of full responses since we dont have the hardware
I am not fully sure of how your homescreen looks, if you have WM6 default home screens than you can edit the home page file and enlarge the clock, or download different home page files and run those (like you mentioned) There are also other programs that will install different clocks (dont remember any but have seen threads in here where people have used other programs).
The menu can be tweeked via the regestry, first get yourself a registry program and if its the same as our phone (should be since its window's driving this bit) find your way to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell you can modefy some of the registry files there to change the layout of the start menu, you can also accomplish this with some third party programs I believe but I have not used them.

app menu customizing

is there any way to customize the app menu? such as adding folders for games, email & im, media..? tryed searching the forum and google but cant find anything

if you're rooted and have one of the compatable roms, there is a thread in the development forum which has a customized launcher.apk, allowing you to do all the things you just asked for.

i had just got the g1 2 days ago, kind of want to wait a little before doing that stuff. i got a file manager... there isnt any way to just get to a folder with the icons and add folders, and rearrange? always was the first thing i did with my WM phones... im a little OC about my menus

Like he said, not without the new launcher. You can add a folder to the desktop and name it and such. Don't worry it took me a week before I decided to flash my phone.

You can always add folders to the desktop.

Newb here!

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to introduce myself. Just got my first Windows Mobile phone a few weeks ago. I went with Verizon's HTC Ozone, as it was free and fit my budget perfectly.
Haven't had a whole lot of time to troubleshoot alternatives and solutions to some of my problems, figured I'd list them out in here as I browse the fourms for the answers. If anyone knows the fix for any of this off hand please let me know!
My device is running Windows Mobile 6.5. I understand the memory management on this device does not automatically close programs. This is cool for things like webpages and such that I'd like to multitask on. But when I want to close out of a page making noise, or application producing noise in the background going through all programs -) task manager -) end task can be an inconvience. Is there anyway to close programs via a short cut?
And is there any sort of alt+tab like feature to browse between programs in the memory so I don't have to explore to them to re-up the window?
Also, I've been trying to get morphgear to work as a GBA emulator. It installs and opens but I have 0 control after that. I can open a settings menu but I can't save the changes and if I hit a txt box I am stuck.
Sorry if these are noob questions, I'd look them up myself if I had the time. But I look forward to learning from these fourms and hopefully contributing in some way myself.
Thanks!
