How to change start menus? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I tried to change start menus to remove some and add others. I went to setting and select menus. When I select any un-slecte one, I got a message of 'you can only slelect 7 items'. Fine! I decided to de-select someone first but I got a 'cannot remove that item'!?
Is this some sort of locking?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I believe, the only ones you can't remove are today, programs, and settings.
Or you could try using File Explorer and go to the Windows folder and open the Start Menu Folder. Then cut the link that you want to remove and paste it somewhere else like in the Programs folder.

SmartsKey Error?

I have had no luck with SmartsKey. I have installed, uninstalled, installed at least 5 diffedrent times and it is nothing but a problem for me.
I have read the Un-Installation Instructons:
1. Run smartskey.exe once, a popup will be shown, tap 'Yes' to close the program.
2. Deleted the folder that stores smartskey
3. Checked/windows/startup to see if there is an sortcut that link to smartskey.
4. Made a softrest.
I have done this many times and I stil get:
NOTIFICATION ERROR
Cannot execute "\Program Files\Smartskey.exe'
I have done a search for Smarskey and could find nothing on my MDA.
Any suggestions??? Thank you in advance.
Still looking for a resolution on this. Anyone can help? Thank you!
Mine does that occassionally on reboots.
But it actually loaded.
Did you make sure the ini file is in the right folder ?

Mine was loaded and then I tried uninstall. Yes the ini file is in the right folder. I even tried putting it in the Program folder, etc.
Thanks for your help.

That did it!!!!!!
I greatly appreciate your help and time. Thank you!!!
Can someone tell me how to access the notification database. I'm using total commander but don't know which directory holds the database.
when I did it many months ago, I used something called "check notifications", by scary bear software I think they were called.
And maybe memmaid can do it too. Not sure

Are you saying that you got the "stock rom start menu" or just lost the option called "QuickMenu" in which you will find options like Screen, SIP, bluetooth, etc in ttrans custom rom? I had the same problem but after few days and soft resets it appeared on its own. anyway make sure that "QuickMenu.lnk" which is a shortcut file which brings the custom start menu is available in the folder "\Windows\StartUp\" and if not copy from "\Windows" and paste in start up folder. Use total commander or some other file explorer to do the same. let me know the result
that did it
thanks spk_xda!
i copied and pasted and now i'm back up and running the good quick/start menu. i appreciate the fast help.

You know what, now I lost the start menu lol... even though the lnk file is available in "\windows\startup" folder its not coming back and I got the stock rom start menu. lets see what happens after few days...
I had the same problem except the link for the quickmenu is in the start up folder already. It occured after doing the initial settings changes the second time I flashed it with Open Touch v4.0. The first time it worked for a little bit but I guess I changed some setting that doesn't allow it to start up. I can click the link or program and it will load once but it defaults to the Orig. start menu after that... Am I the first with this specific issue?

No, you are not the only one having this issue. As I stated above, I still have the problem and the quick menu doesnt comes even after many soft resets. I even tried to move the .lnk file from startup folder and reset and then moved it back and reset, but no way... it just doesnt work...

Cube uninstall issue

I had installed all the components of Cube from the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343583
The cube worked fine for me except whenever I soft reset my phone the quick dial screen would be the first screen available and not that HTC home which was the defualt screen
When I unistall all the components and restart the Phone I get a screen with the X mark at the top right corner and busy icon.When I cancel the screen I get the default HTC home screen. Is there some component still left even after uninstall.
My WIndows/startup/ has

What was the error when you tried deleting the QuickDial file? Did you use your PPC File explorer or did you try it via Windows Explorer?

The Error I get when I tried to deleted QuickDial is that it Sharing voilation.The source or destination maybe in use.I am using the file explorer
You need to terminate the 'Quickdail' process. Do that by using this tool:
http://www.4shared.com/file/39875406/cd2a63e3/Alltheway_Task_Manager.html
As you can see, Task Manager by AllTheWay.
Terminate the process using this file and then move the file from the startup folder. Move it, because you want to keep it somewhere safe if other programs/functions start to fail as a result of your actions. Or simply reinstall the Cube if additional problems should occur. Choice is up to you.
After moving or deleting the file, soft reset and see if that problem got fixed.
Good luck!

Dead start menu icon

I'm having some trouble with a shortcut on the Start Menu. I had a link to Resco File Explorer which worked fine, but then stopped working following an upgrade of the application (I suspect the upgrade process removed it some one storage area and stuck the new version in the other, or something like that). Clicking the shortcut now does nothing.
I also had it linked on the TF3D Programs Tab. This I've managed to remove and re-add using the normal interface and now works fine. However if I go to edit the start menu I can see TWO entries for Resco File Explorer - one that is ticked with a duff icon, and one which isn't but with the correct icon. By problem is that if I try and untick the duff one it errors "Cannot move that item".
Any ideas??
uninstall and reinstall. if you have an older version and upgrade, try downloading the upgraded cab and install that.
In File Explorer, go to My Device > Windows> Start Menu. Tap and hold on the inoperable shortcut and select "delete"

[Q] Better Keyboard

So I just installed better keyboard and I went to enable it and Im getting a message that says "This input method may be able to collect all the text you type, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers. It comes from the application Better Keyboards. Use this input method?"
Should this be something I should be worried about?
No. That is the standard Android warning when installing any keyboard.
Anyone know if Swype is working on here yet?
Can't get alternate keyboard to enable
After I get an alternate keyboard installed, I can't get the checkbox to enable. I get the warning described above but then the keyboard doesn't enable and doesn't appear as a choice when you do the long press and select input method.
I have the same problem with an IME for pen reader. the main justifyer for me to purchase this tablet was to take notes at work but I can't get teh app to work... I am just waiting for 3.0 and hoping that it will evolve...

I was able to get SlideIt to work by installing it and then copying the apk file from /data/app and pasting it in /system/app. Then make sure to Mount R/W in the system folder and change permissions of the copied apk so that User is read/write and Group, Others is read only. Mount R/O. Now reboot. It should work now.
I am using TnT 2.2. There shouldn't be any need to enable it in the settings either. It will act like a system keyboard and will always be enabled. All you have to do is change input method by long tapping on a text box and selecting the newly installed keyboard.
I have tried this with a couple of other keyboards and it didn't work. Swype just says that it won't work with the screen size of the device.
I read this in another thread somewhere here. I can't take credit for this. Hope this helps.
keyboards
I'm running the stock rom with the TNT enhancement pack. The strange thing is that I can't even find the downloaded apk file for the keyboard. When I go to the data folder in iFileManager, it is blank. What am I doing wrong?

From what I can tell, ES File Explorer can't see stuff in /data unless it is started AFTER the phone is rooted. Maybe the same goes for iFileManager.
So what I do is use z4root to get temporary root, kill ES File Explorer, then start ES File Explorer again. Then it can see /data.
Hope that this helps.
