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.

Stopping the on-screen keyboard popping up?

i have a touch pro (sorry if this doesn't belong here, but i assumed that they were basically the same) and whenever i go anywhere that has text input, the on-screen keyboard pops up and fills most of the screen, even when I have the inbuilt keyboard popped out.
Is there any way I can get it to stay hidden until I press the show/hide button?

There's a setting in Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool that fixes this.
Unfortunately it doesn't work in Opera due to Opera's bad handling of the keyboard. If you have problems with the SIP popping up in opera in landscape, install nullkb and look for an application that allows you to set different SIPs in portrait and landscape.

Cheers for the quick reply, I'll give these a go.

Manual Landscape

I have been looking through all the settings on the D2 to manually change the screen to landscape as I used to be able to do on the Touch cruise but without success the G-Sensor is a bit of a hit and miss and only works on some programmes. I would like to use landscape with Navigon 7 anyone know how to do this ?

The TF3D interface does not work in landscape on default, there is an app available for it here
you can go to settings>all settings>system tab>screen and change the orientation, somehow this only works one time for me, it just changes back automatically.
in Navigon (I don't have this) there is probably an option where you can change the orientation
edit: change the orientation to landscape in the screen settings, and then start navigon.

Tnks for the reply TK tried the tweak did not seem to do anything apart from restarting the D2 there are no settings in the screen tab for changing orientation just alighn, Cleartype and Text Size.
will have to keep looking.

somehow the tweak options end up in the all programs list, found under Manila Rotate On/Off.
maybe this option came with one of the programs installed ^^

After you do the manilla landscape you soft-reset and then it should be there for you to rotate stuff. Another app to try out is G-Config. Search for that on the forum. You can add automatic rotation to apps that don't support it after you add them to the list you soft-reset and then try it again. I've managed to put MSN, Skype etc on it.

installed Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3, start and then:
screen -> show orientation settings -> yes
then i configured the one button i can configure (left-bottom: press and hold):
settings -> all settings -> personal -> buttons -> <rotate screen>

What about the phone app? When you're in navigation Mode with MN|7 and a call comes in, the phone app is in portrait, right?
Does anyone know, how to turn the phone app to landscape?

WM6.5: Change t9 Input Language?

Hi all,
I've been using WM6.1 for a while now, and constantly switch between T9 Dutch and English. I've had many ROM's and after installing the "T9 14 Languages Update.cab" that's been hanging around these forums I always got access to different t9 languages via the little white triangle next to the keyboard icon when inputting text: fast and easy switching.
Now I've tried various WM6.5 rom's and while the T9 language cab installs fine, I don't know where to switch the language... It's not in the usual place, nor can I find it anywhere else.
Has anyone sucesfully managed to get this going? I'm using the Deeplightning ROM at the moment.
Thanks.

Anyone know anything about this?

I just go to options.
there you see input method (and your chosen one)
beneath that is another options button
and under there I can set the language.
make sure you have multiple languages installed, otherwise you don't see that 2nd options button

If I'm writing a message, and I tap the small white triangle, then go to options I only see input method. If I then g oto the second options tab at the bottom, I can only see options for 'voice recording format', zoom defaults, and some tick boxes. No language settings.

Just got a Diamond. Two questions

A) I have a persistent "1" as the leftmost icon in the status icon area, and it wont go away. the official HTC manual for the phone (page 36) does not say anything about numbers showing up there. what does it mean and how do i get rid of it?
B) is there a way to keep the keyboard from popping up on EVERY screen that has an input field? sometimes i just want to look at a screen and touch my way around it. how do i make the default behavior NO keyboard?
C) is there something wrong with my diamond or the G sensor only works in a couple apps (camera, photo browser, opera)? How do i enable it for text msging for example?
thanks in advance. i miss my hermes... that was much easier to use!

Not sure about question 1.
Question 2 there is a registry setting you can change or you can download Diamond Tweak. (Under Keyboard (SIP) there is an option for Automatic display) disable this).
The diamond doesn't natively support Landscape mode therefore you need to download an app like Gyrator to make this happen.

thank you thank you matty. #2 is really the most important Q.
