Folks,
Okay, I read the manual and searched and still can't find a way to customise the content of the HTC Home plugin. I don't mean the large, square HTC Home app that has tabs, just the little launcher bar.
I didn't realise I had this and the only reason I installed my SPB Pocket Plus app was for the launcher bar (most other things already covered by HTC software).
Thanks for any help on how I get my own links in there
Regards,
Gary.
Just an update (and a bump )
Holding the stylus in an empty part of the plugin results in nothing (no menu etc.)
Holding the stylus on an object in the plugin, ditto (it will just launch the link)
The links don't seem to be the same as the HTC Home box with the tabs etc.
Are the links stored in a special directory somwhere?
The manual doesn't even mention the plugin!
Frankly, it seems a bit lame not to allow users to easily config this plugin. As I said earlier, with the HTC features built in (e.g. full close on the "X"), I could really do without the extra processing baggage needed.
Regards,
Gary.

Thanks for bringing it up - no, nobody seems to know here (apparently, everyone prefers the big, square HTC Home applet but for me, it takes too much real estate).
I'd welcome any input - I'm still of the impression that there must be a directory with shortcuts in it somewhere but I can't find it.

I had found this pretty cool GPS tool (www.terracrosser.com), yet it's zooming does not work on HTC Diamond. I had tried to modify registry fot scrolling wheel, but I was only able to scroll the map up and down, not to zoom.
Any help would be great.
Here is the way to registry:
HKLM/Software/HTC/SmartTouch/Terracrosser/
classname (string): #NETCF_AGL_BASE_
Mode (dword): 4
WheelCount (dword): 2
The website contains little to no information.
What does this app do?
How does it differ to Google maps?
Can it grab a map of Paris for me for me to use offline in the future?
I don't understand, it uses gps to show your location with maps from google maps.... So basically it's just google maps?

Looks like it, read the .PDF on download page
So it appears. Try using Google Maps for the Diamond instead of Terracrosser.
Damn, what a nice tool, I will certanly keep that in mind!
I have searched for a proper solution to download the google maps for a long time... that saves me a lot gprs costs
Nice tool, hoe they gonna fix the zoom-bug, then it'll be just perfect!
Not really usable for the moment but, if I understand well the documentation, the tool Mapper (wich crashes for me) should be able to save maps with different zoom levels and that would be great ! Touch screen and jog dial navgation would also be great...
I'll keep an eye on this...
so how easy would it be to download maps for offline viewing.
Can I tell it to just 'go fetch maps for Paris' and that will be enough? Thats the sort of solution I would need, a list of cities and I 'check off' which ones I would want it to download and cache

I have tested the mapper for some minutes, i am at work, so not much time to do it in detail
You have to zoom to the area you want to download by yourself, after that you choose how many zoomleves are to be saved and the rest dows the program on its own. Quite simple in my opinion.
But a feature to enter the city you want to download would be great, too
Perhabs it'll be added in the near future. It#s the first official version of this tool, as I have read on the page.
sorry but how can I control the program. I`ve added the necessary reg keys to navigate with hw keys but I can not zoom. stylus navigation isn`t supported?
Beta tester wanted
Hello!
If anybody want to betatest Terracrosser for HTC Diamond, please contact "mail at terracrosser dot com".
Thank you,
Nitisara
New Zooming method
Please use version 1.0.1 - touch screen zooming implemented (read User manual).
Great program, just what a lot of people have been after.
Why has it taken so long for someone to actually make an offline/cached map viewer??!?! I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult!
I'm having a few problems with the software that I will try and solve, hopefully this keeps getting better!
what happened to Terracrosser.com??
I get a "server stoped" message when I go to the url where terracrosser was previously found
http://www.terracrosser.com
Site Not Working
Same problem for me also. Nitisara please make the site work so we can download the latest version of terracrosser.
Loved it in Cuba.
It's a pitty that the site is down.
Luckily I already grabbed a version. And I used it in Cuba
As far as I know there are no GPS-maps available because that is not allowed.
But Terracrosser was a big help, especially when a jinetero is helping you to go to somewhere else

Thanks oodles! I was trying to get Opera mini to handle RSS but:
a) it didn't allow me to group them so I could separate them by content (text vs audio) and frequency (I keep a list of ~40 RSS feeds and have annotated them by their update frequency)
b) I couldn't edit the names
c) it didn't work on the BBC Newspod feed
RSS Hub solves all of those and the interface is elegant. Thanks again!
RSS hub help with scrolling
Hello, I was wondering if anyone using RSS hub has found it annoying to scroll while in an open feed.
Usually, I open a feed to an article I wish to read. The short blurb doesn't cut it so I wish to scroll done to, "Read More Online...". But when I attempt to scroll to the bottom, it doesn't scroll, rather it highlights the words.
Is there a way to smart scroll within the feed that is still open by RSS hub?
Thanks for reading guys.

well, are you only lightly pressing, cause that is the exact thing that happens. you really have to push it down for the flick scrolling to kick in. otherwise you will highlight...
or try yomomedia which is actually a lot nicer
nope not light touch
@ Vader165
Nope, not light touch, regardless if I press hard or not, when the feed is open with RSS Hub, it just highlights. Any solutions?
@ Kwill
Yomomedia is actually quite nice interface. As much as it is aesthetically pleasing, it takes a while to load. However, I think I will have to use this, if I am not able to smart scroll in RSS Hub.

I’m guessing your running a WM 6.5 ROM? If so this is normal behavior and cannot be fixed. The kinetic scrolling of 6.5 breaks the touchflo in certain apps and the RSS Hub happens to be one of them. I always just have to use the side scroll bars to scroll through an article. I enlarge the width of my vertical scroll bars using Advanced config and it makes it a lot easier.
Great tip

Great tip. I went on and employed this and it makes using the RSS Hub under 6.5 a lot better.
One more question, if you don't mind Climber, is there a way to move the scroll bar to the left, for lefties like me?
Thanks for the tip again!

Sorry but as far as I know this is not possible. You would think that Microsoft would have added this option considering that not everyone is right handed.
you could use the new version of Rss hub, newsbreak. i have it and i love it because it actually does podcasts. and well.
SPB Online
I just downloaded SPB Online, which contains an RSS reader and the "touchflo" scrolling works in article view. As a matter of fact, this is the best RSS reader I have ever used. It's not free, but if you access your RSS reader as often as I do it's well worth the money.
Friends
I use my Tab for my lectures with powerpoint presentation.The RCA cable connecting my Tab with LCD projector is short so to change slides I have to stoop between each slide.
Can I change slides with my other Android phone Galaxy S2?
If so how to connect them together?
Please give ur reply in detail because I am a doctor and my technical acumen is little short.

You'll probably need to be rooted, but you can install a VNC server on the Tab, and control it with a client on your phone.
Here's a similar thread on the Xoom forum.
VNC is a great app ..
Will give a try

Thanx Burhan for ur suggestion.Will give a try today.
Its ugly, but it works.
Working but need some help
Well friends
Rooted my Tab and installed VNC server.Installed VNC client in my Galaxy s2.Connected via wifi[have to open mobile AP in Tab].
Tab screen is mirrored in my GS2 screen.I can remotely open any programmes and operate the Tab from my GS2 screen.Good work sofar.
But when i swipe my fingers on GS2 screen to change powerpoint slides, sometimes it works and other-times there is no response.
What i want is some sort of keyboard appering on my GS2 screen so that i can change slides by clicking next.
Can our esteemed friends here show me a VNC client software which has keyboard controls only?[If not available,Can you please make it?]
Thank u one and all.
I was asking myself this same question and stumbled upon this app:

So what if the thread is old?
it is still just about relevant and has helped me - without having to start a duplicate thread.
Hi guys, I hope this is not a stupid question, and maybe somebody has already come up with a solution that I am not aware of, so here it is:
Has anybody figured out how to use the NTG hardware butons on the side in order to "Page Up" or "Page Down" in Opera or Opera Mini browser?
Scrolling with the touchscreen is prety painful and I really don't want to deal with NoRefresh or a modified kernel to enable FastRefresh if possible. I have already done both approaches and would really just prefer to map the buttons if possible.
Thanks,
Cedric

I have not found a working version with buttons.
The problem is that Opera Mobile does not support the concept of page down.
That is very strange and annoying.
As I've said in numerous places, I prefer to have my hard keys be page down & page up.
I think setting them to volume up and volume down is silly.
It's better engineering practice to fix things where they are broken.
My stock ReaderRMSDK and all my apps work on page down & page up.
I think setting them to volume up and volume down is silly.

I tried using the volume control. It does not work in the latest versions of Opera Mini and Opera Mobile. =(
