using HButton

I've been trying to get HButton for the smartphone to work with this ROM. I was hoping that it would allow more versatile hotkey buttons....

(HButton is supposed to allow you to chose between several different apps when you press a button)

To do this, I tried to play with the \windows\short_MSG and \windows\short_IE links. I made short_IE a link to "HButton.exe 1". Then when I pressed the explorer button, instead of celetasks, I got the first program on the list in HButton (which I, for now, set to celetasks.... in the future it should allow one to chose between different programs)

Now to my questions:

1. When I press the IE button for a longer time, the communication manager is launched. Where is this set? I can't see a long_IE link in \windows, and creating one doesn't help.

2. I also tried to change the short_MSG link. This worked, but in addition to launching HButton.exe, the messaging program was still launched. So there must

be some other place that tells the device what to launch when the MSG button is pressed. Do you know where that is?

[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
I have seen people have no issues with up 8GB cards
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:

[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:

[HTC Excalibur] NightWing:
.

ive used a few of your roms and i can never get the new word document to work in the fav program slide, i get an error everytime. is there a fix for this

also, in your fav program slide for tcpmp player you left out the last p in the registry key
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
That because You Are Not Making Changes In Both Parts Of The Registry!

I and Several other have posted the fix for this problem! You have to make changes in both parts of the registry.
[HTC Excalibur] sully78:

..

I apologize if this has been covered - but not sure what to search for on the forums.

I noticed when I flashed last night I lost my instant messaging app - how can I re-add it.

Is there one that will do all the IM's like AIM, MSN, Yahoo etc..?
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
geeze i think he was just posting it so maybe rick would include it in the rom :p
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
do you want one that works over data or text?
[HTC Excalibur] torontotytn:
Text probably - won't do any data file transfers
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
if your looking for one that works over text like the default one from t mobile your kinda out of luck. ive looked hard for one (for myself) and cant find one, that works lol. so i just use the AIM text commands. you can google that and it will tell you all of them and how to use them / what they do.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
what if i extract it from the t-mobile rom
[HTC Excalibur] 1wired1:
On the main page under 'my programs' there are 20 pages. Most of them are word mobile, edit word document. How do I delete or change them?

Thanks

1w1
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
use oldSAP Favorites to edit my programs
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
ive tried the cab extracted from the t mobile rom, it installed but when you went to log in it failed and i got a weird text. i even tried changing reg values and replacing files, i got desperate lol.

but if you can do it, that would be great!
[HTC Excalibur] Shining Light:
It doesn't save the (WEP, WPA/WPA2) Wifi password, anyone else having this problem?
[HTC Excalibur] inspron:
oldSAP

I tried oldSAP on Ricky's V10 and it still doesnt work. Maybe Ricky can help us on this one?
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
Download My Extras on page one in there youll find oldSAP Favorites with as been updaded try that if that dont work let me no
[HTC Excalibur] bountyman334:
hey rick my phone vibrates when i press the end button twice and the only way i can cut it off is to put it on virbrate and go back

Ricky, have you tested this?
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
my (WEP, WPA/WPA2) Wifi password is save
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
i just tried it and mine saved it. i havent turned my phone off yet, so hopefully it doesnt lose it when i reboot.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
dont restart phone trun it off first then trun back on then youll be able to reset your phone whan you what
[HTC Excalibur] 1wired1:
directions on using oldsap? i just want to delete all the edit wordpad document pages.

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
im a little confused.

when i say restart or reboot i mean turn off then back on. i dont use a restart command, i dont even know if their is one, lol.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
open oldSAP favorites click menu Click show click CMyApps

edit this when you have finshed with page1 click menu then click save
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
there is in celetask
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
ah i see now.
[HTC Excalibur] 1wired1:
thats what i did, after CMyApps i delete everything in each field in page1 then save and reboot. still the same
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
which version of the rom do you have?? go into windows\startup and delete CMyApplication if its in there
[HTC Excalibur] 1wired1:
most recent version. i was happier when it was just 8 pages instead of 20.
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
ha i know what you mean. i have v12 except i added the sms feature manually. i got 20 fav slides and only 9 setup.

as for the problem, i dont know, sorry.
[HTC Excalibur] torontotytn:
I just noticed - since I've installed the new Rom last night - everytime I active sync the phone to the pc - the time zone changes, as well as the time.

Is this happening to anyone else?
[HTC Excalibur] -RotorDemon-:
These roms keep getting better and better! Only issue I have is the JOGGR keeps enabling randomly.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
this not happing to me
[HTC Excalibur] Se7eN43:
the only way the changes show up is when you switch the theme, and switch it back. not sure if it matters but make sure its just a basic theme you switch to (non slide) and then u switch back and you will see the changes. you dont need to reboot.
[HTC Excalibur] Se7eN43:
the photo dialer works to place a call to the edited number but the sms feature starts a new text with the default 1-555-555-1234 in the contact field instead of the edited number. what am i overlookin?

edit: nevermind. i am so retarded. i never saw the sms file for editin.
[HTC Excalibur] 1wired1:
ok, that works, but now i just have a red x there. is there a way to delete some of the pages all together?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
I'm still trying to figure out how to get photo dialer on my home screen. My brain is mush from work and i cant think straight. lol

I'm guessing if you edit the reg files by deleting one at a time to see if it works.
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
@ Rick... I am still on V6 as I personally like it the best. I am having a trick-time getting CPhotoDialer on my Home-screen.

The reg entries are there and I have editted Slidebrown2.xml to add CPhotoDialer. Where else to I have to edit to make it appear as a slide (Chome_240x320.cpr???)

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Whats the command to be inserted in the XML for photo dial?
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
@#%$'d if I know :D lol

I added "CPhotoDialer" to the SlideBrown2.xml <order> tag...

I think it needs to be added to chome_240x320.cpr, I just dont know how or what
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
CPhotoDialer;
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
thats all? anywhere in the XML? In every slide XML also?
[HTC Excalibur] Se7eN43:
maybe uploadin the cpr files and xml files would save you all the trouble? heres a grey xml theme and both cpr files. it should work as long as the photodialer contact image files and vjdialer.exe are in the /windows folder. hope this helps
[HTC Excalibur] sully78:
Is there a way to arrange the order of the slides as in I want my first slide to be the clock(as is), 2nd missed calls (as is), next slide down to be photo dialer, next to be my programs, and so on. So in other words i am trying to get photo dialer to be the 3rd slide.

Also can anyone get ricks font to work with slim slides?
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
yes rearrange this in your home.xml

<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CAppointments;CMyApplication;CPhotoDialer;CWelcomeCenter;CWindowsLive;Settings"
[HTC Excalibur] Svoms:
So say I want to remove one from my home screen..Is it simple enough just to remove the name like:

<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CAppointments;CMyApplication;CPhotoDialer;CWelcomeCenter;CWindowsLive;Settings"

TO

<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CMyApplication;CPhotoDialer;CWelcomeCenter;Settings"

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] sully78:
dude your awesome thanks for the quick answer.

I hate to ask another question but can I fix the red x on the photo dialer somewhere, I saw the phone icon in your my extras folders can I place that somewhere. Just trying to avoid another ROM change. Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] Shining Light:

[HTC Excalibur] :
sorry if i missed this (yes... i've read the entire thread as i've been trying these rom versions out since day 1)...

are there any screenshots of the chphotodialer proggie someplace? i'm using the vanilla version of the rom, but might want to install this as it sounds very interesting. would love to check out some pics first to see what it looks like exactly.

thanks gents!

also... ricky... the version changes you're making have no affect on the vanilla version right. from the history text it looks like you're just tweaking proggies and what not, not making any major changes that affect the core rom iself. right?
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
na its the same core i just tweak some things

[HTC Excalibur] torontotytn:
Guys not sure if this has anything to do with the Roms/Radio - and I apologize for my lack of knowledge. But I set the time zones , times etc.. and when i plug the phone in for active sync, or recieve a call - the time keeps changing.

I have to keep going back in to reset it.

Anyone know why this would happen? Or even how to fix it?
[HTC Excalibur] Technology:
Times Zones

Did you set the zone correctly, go back check, make sure...........!:D
[HTC Excalibur] Poser:
Tech... you know I got nothin but 'spect for you sir. But I just dont want to continuously flash for every lil bell and whistle. I flashed versions 1-5, then started figurin out how to implement the changes Rick made (with his guidance, of course) as standalone services.

MyApps

Chome_font changer

NRGZ slim panels...

etc... I made all these changes the 'ole fashion way. No cabs, just text editor, xml changes and regedit. I like doin it this way because it makes a noob like me work a lil harder and learn a whole lot more. I am sure OldSaps prog is the bee knees, but I dont mind cruisin the reg and lookin at all sorts of keys and making the changes myself, ya know.

So with all that said, I have made the changes in my Home.xml , and I have looked at the .CPRs Se7en up'd but don't note any changes...

so I am at a loss. Yes I could just reflash and presto all is good, but I want to know what is going on behind the curtain.

Rick's roms are the arse kicking bomb... and I will continue to use them, and learn from them

well for one dont copy and paste his command from a few posts before. He misspelled dialer.

i installed the cab added the command in the Chome order command in the xml, the one i choose to use. Changed the homescreen to a non slide, then back to refresh it.

... and with the new BT stack, does it play nice with the toshiba bt stack.???
[HTC Excalibur] kparikh82276:
Ricky...

Hello there,

I see v15, man it's like every day we get to use a new rom.

i'm very impressed thus far. I do have to say that whenever i want to change the look or the color of the home screen etc. especially playing around w/ the extra tools you've provided for us, it makes the ROM unstable. :(

I reflashed w/ v14 but i'm really hesitant to play around too much ... the phone works great other wise.

Also when posting current ROM's wouldn't it be easier if you did in reverse chronological order where the latest one is near the top of the post. :)

Now... is it worth updating to v15? any thoughts?:rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] 1wired1:
where is this SMS section?

will it always say call xxxx on the main page or can that be changed?
