Easy question about M2D - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I recently installed a new ROM with M2D, and have a couple questions about it.
I was wondering if it was possible to disable the large finger-enabled menus. For instance under the messages tab, when you press "Menu" (in the bottom right) It pops up options in a fashion that it takes the entire screen up, allowing you to use your finger and forcing you to select an option before you can leave the menu.
Is there a way to get classic menus back with M2D?

Well firstly this is the wrong section to have posted this query, secondly i know about this and it doesnt force you to make an option, you just press menu again to get rid of it. have u actually tried that, nyways hope that helps

This is the bestest double post eva!

My fault as accidentally moved it here out of ROM Development "posted in wrong area" Mind you it's rather general
You can use advanced config to disable menu enhancements.

Remove Calender&Contacts bar

Is it possible to remove to whole bar at the bottom of the home screen? Mine has links to contact & calender, but I just want to remove it since I dont use them at all...
Any ideas?
soft key applet
you can use a program called soft key applet, which is downloadable from the xda ftp site, not sure if you can simply turn these off, but you can assign different programs to them.
I use dcinobar, you can just click the .exe to enable / disable it. I have mine placed in the \windows\startup folder works perfectly.

nice post, def. gonna try this one out when I get the chance as I never use the on screen soft keys anyway,(plus I know I ain't the only one who can't stand the fact that the home screen plugin from HTC doesn't allow one to scroll down the today screen in landscape mode)and a little extra room is welcomed with open arms. I'm guessing you can still use the soft keys if you want to by pressing the hw buttons on the device right????
cheers
Heres the trick..
It LOOKS a lot better. It makes more of your image available to use.
But wither or not you use the buttons doesnt even matter, because when at the today screen, even if you press those buttons they still work. I use mine all the time, but I dont like the clutter, but it doesnt matter. I just remember what buttons do what, since they still work.
Im adding this to my newbie thread
Thanks!!
This gives the homescreen just a bit more room.
Another nice mod is to remove the iconset for the unlock/com man/etc located above this bar. I used the regedit method using total commander- simply delete the following from your registry:
\\HKLM\INIT\LAUNCH92
This is the key that launches the tray application at boot (To re-enable create the registry key above with the value TrayAp.exe)
Have fun!

Actually I found the tray icons very useful and actually added my own tray from batterstatus. One touch activation of any of the radio's and various programs makes using the tray very efficient. Plus you can access the tray without even touching the screen so its a win-win in my eyes.
Regarding Neptunes' first post at the top,
"(plus I know I ain't the only one who can't stand the fact that the home screen plugin from HTC doesn't allow one to scroll down the today screen in landscape mode)"
I have spent days looking for a fix/patch for this. Is not having the scroll feature in landscape mode the final answer on this one?
Thanks guys!
Scroll
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home and change the type to 4.
Poweroff and poweron.
Thanks, exactly what i need.

Change menu at the start screen

Hi there - does anyone know how the lowest line of the start screen can be changed i.e. is it possible to change the list of programms which appear ?
THANKS
Myrin
The Start menu? Sure, start, settings, personal tab, menus. If any appear to be locked (won't let you remove unselect them) then you need to use total commander or equivalent and go to My Device/Windows/Start Menu and delete the unwanted shortcuts. You would then be able to use the menu program above to add in up to seven programs that you want.

I think you mean the bottom line of the Today Screen.
So, you want to change the shortcuts of the HTC Homeplug?
I don't know how to do that cause I don't use it. Maybe anyone knows?
Pls see the file attached - this line below I mean !!!
So you want to change the programs accessed by the soft keys on the Today screen? Vito Button Mapper will let you do this.
Will it work also with Magic Button ?
I'm getting headache with the screenshot
Anyway, I think peter7 meant the Tray Bar program.
I think he is using some Tray Launcher of some sort. Difficult to look at the screenshot.
what the hell did you use to take the screenshot, a Sharpy?
Can you take a better screenshot, this time with a screenshot application that actually takes color images?
anyways, that is one strange looking today screen you got there. What's the icons next to the start button?

weird problem

hey guys,
ever since i played around with some of my settings (kaiser tweak), whenever i click anywhere on the top taskbar (volume, battery, connections, etc), it gives me this little menu where i then select which option i wanna go to.. it used to be where i can click on the battery and it pops up, or i click on the megaphone looking thing, and i can adjust the sound, in one click, not two.. anybody know how i can restore it to the way it was? ekhh... thanks
omar
are you sure that you didnt install this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343988&highlight=large
hah ur right... i'm using of dutythroys roms, and i enabled the large start menu, and when i did that it also enabled that task bar application.... wonder if theres a way to get the large start menu without that task bar thing.. thanks
omar
ps.. i dont really mind it, except for the fact that you cant adjust your in call volume with just the scroll wheel.

Button Configuration

Hello everyone,
First off if this is in the wrong thread, please move it. Ok, i am using one of Dutty's Rom's (check signature) and i would like to change the short cut buttons on my today screen, if you look at the pic you will see the left menu is action screen and the right is contacts, is it possible to change what these buttons open, can i use another program and if yes how do i do it
i know this may be a simple explanation but i am sure i have seen how to do it before but can't find it or remember, thanks for any help
you can use the advance configuration tool by schaps, it has the key mapping feature, you can change the right and left soft key applications to be opened.
regards
twisted
fantastic already have schapp's program, works perfectly, thanks for your help

[Q] My home screen changed HELP

So my home screen changed what can I do to fix it? when I tap home it goes to a different screen than it use to. I went into edit and tried to move them around to get the screen I had back to home but did not work. I have a icon on the bottom of one of the screens while in edit that looks like the home button and it stays on that screen no matter what I do. I moved that screen everywhere to far left to far right but it still stays as my home screen. I want my old home screen back Help me please.
I hope I have explained this correctly.....
What launcher are to using?
I am using what ever came on the phone I have not added a launcher
I do not use touch wiz. That is stock. I use launcher pro. Read this, maybe it will shed light
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...64-how-do-you-change-default-home-screen.html
I found that and read it while searching google for help but it did not help me I really did not want to add another launcher to the phone if I don't have to. And I tried all those things.
Thanks
From home, menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications
Now you may need to hit menu -> filter and select All if you are using the stock launcher TwLauncher.
Find the current launcher select "Clear defaults". The next time you hit home it will prompt you to select a default again.
Thanks this is what I was looking for are to a tech person for this phone or what? I have search everywhere for an answer and have found nothing that is correct. I need your contact info in case I have other question or problems about the phone.
Thanks Again!
No just got my captivate in december. Have a tech background actually with blackberry. If you get stuck again just post here again, there are many helpful forum users.
