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

Larger Dialing Pad

Hello everyone, I got my mother a tilt for her new phone so she could receive her emails from our exchange server when she is out of the office. She is doing well with it so far accept for two things.
One of them is that the touch screen dialing pad where you dial phone numbers the number buttons are to small for her. Is there any new skins or roms out there that make the numbers larger? Like maybe large enough so they take up the entire screen.
The other thing is that once you start the call it switches to the call status window from the dialing pad window. Is there any way to make it stay in the dialing pad window when you make a call?
I've searched around on this forum and cant seem to find anything so any help would be greatly appreciated.

different but not larger

I have seen some posts about some freeware dialers, but I have always been concerned with reliability. I'd like larger buttons too, but if it breaks the dialer, I can live with the default size.

The HTC Dialer rather than the branded one offers a skin with bigger buttons. Its what i use any how! Installed over the orange branded one!
MM

Do a search for "Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2.cab", that's the best one out ther with bigger buttons. Otherwise all other skins (for the msot part) have buttons that are just barely bigger then the AT&T one.

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.

Qestions about Favorite People tab on Today screen

I have linked contacts to little squares. When I hit the tab with the person's name on it, it automatically dials the person's number. I far more often use text messaging. Is there an easy way to change what happens when you press the little square?

When you click on Add, find the person in your contacts.
When you select them, it will give you the option to add their numbers.
If you select the one where it says 'txt' after it, the little button with thier name will be mapped to send them a text message, instead of calling them.
Of you can just click on the persons picture and it will open up their contact card.

Doesn't work on stock ATT Rom
When I click on the "+" button, it takes me to my contacts list. When I click on anyone's name, it adds their name to the little square. When I click on the little square, it calls them. I need to set it up so that it gives me the option to send them a text. Maybe my rom is corrupt. I can add pictures, and they show up on the today screen in the little boxes, but when I click on the little pictures, it places a call. I can't or just don't know how, to change the function from "place a call" to "send a text". I called AT&T and have scoured the internet but could not find a solution. I've installed a few programs, which may be causing the conflict, so I guess it's a quirk I'll have to live with.

Finally figured it out
If you tap the little square, it dials their mobile telephone number. If you hold it down with the stylus, it gives you the option to call (home, mobile, work) number or text. I wish when you tapped it, it would text!

Are you using the HTC Home plug? If you use a rom with Manilla when you hit the square it brings up the contact and you have your choice between calling or texting.

I'm using the stock rom minus the bloat
I haven't made any mods other than adding the hidden proxy enable and disable cabs and installing the mp3 ringtone fix. However, I'm about to attempt to remap the PTT button because I hate how you can't mute the phone if you forget to put it on vibrate before a meeting. There is a post that describes how to use the PTT button to toggle among the various volume options.

Step up and flash your tilt...on second maybe thats not a good idea...
have you thought about trying a modded Rom? there is some really great rom out now that will do just what you want plus a whole lot more....

For me, mapping that PTT button was really tough
I went through three different registry editors before I could find the hklm folder. Once I found and deleted that though, it was pretty easy. I am so thankful to horndog1 for the step by step instructions.
Here's a link. I suggest using PC Commander. It was the only one that worked for me. Here's the link to the instructions.
I like this stock rom minus the bloat. So long as it's stable, may stick with it.

i would love this, i hardly ever call people (i only use about 50 minutes per month of voice, but i'm always on aim/texting). If there was someway this could be edited w/ a regedit i'd love it. TF2D is great, but i've have yet to find a ROM that is as stable as any of the simple 6.1 HTC home roms, and the things i use my phone for (lots of note taking, data logging) i can't be doing soft resets to my phone all the time. i did this once and lost a 3 hour session of notes. that WAS...NOT...GOOD. on top of that, it BLOWS not being able to use the TF2D in landscape. i'm really surprised no one has cooked any of the tile icons into any of the manilla roms

Small MMS

I've got a O2 Diamond and every time I get an MMS message the
picture is really small,
I found a cab that was supposed to correct it but it didnt do anything,
I then found a Reg hack to make O2 think it was an XDA Mini,
this has helped a bit (picture is a bigger) but its still not right,
anybody know how I can sort this out

Hi i have my Touch Diamond on o2 if you need any more settings or anything give us a shout
this isnt my work someone from here emailed me it
Basically O2 doesn't recognise your phone, so when someone sends you an MMS, it downsizes it to be on the safe side to make sure it's compatible with your device. Of course, this assumes that whoever sent the pic did so in, say, QVGA or VGA size in the first place ; )
As I've only had HTC WinMo devices to date, I'm not sure what MMS software your phone will have installed. If it's Arcsoft, then I think I can help. If not, I'm wasting your time. Oops.
To get around the problem there are a couple of reg entries to change which 'fool' O2 into thinking your handset is one that the network recognises, e.g. a Nokia N95 (just wheres MMS is concerned).
So, fire up your fav reg editor and browse to:
1. HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\Arcsoft MMS UA\Config\MM1\WspHeader\User-Agent
Change the value of User-Agent to:
"NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1" (no quotation marks)
2. HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\Arcsoft MMS UA\Config\MM1\WspHeader\x-wap-profile:
Change the value of x-wap-profile to:
"http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml" (no quotations marks)
To test, send yourself an MMS : )

Just tried them settings and picture is just the same size as I was getting using
the XDA Mini settings,
but It'll do , at least I can see them now

are you on o2 contract or pay and go i have the settings pay and go and they come through big on my phone mate

Contract m8

having same probs
im having same probs with mms being so tiny im on o2 contract. I called htc and he didnt really have a clue, he just said a bit of 'erm i dont know', eventually i rang o2 and the woman said its to do with resolution sizes between my mobile and the person sending, its a load of cr*p cos i sent one to myself and its the same.
I cant seem to get any reg editors to work and i dont really understand alot of what people are saying, sorry im into my gadgets and stuff and spend loadsa time on lap top but this one has got me a bit stuck. Hope someone can help me Thanks guys

Download and install Total Commander,
this will allow you to edit your registry
and just use the settings in post 2
