[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] MasK:
Excellent tips there.

Thanks!

However, I feel that Manila start menu will open any folder, but dump every shortcut in root AND subfolders together.. So there's no way to have folders in the list view.

Anyways.. is there a way I can link it to WM's default programs list?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Not sure what you mean with "dump every shortcut in root AND subfolders".

As you can see in my screenshot, when I click on Navigation in Start Menu, I see only the links in the folder Navigation.

For the WM's default program list, the path you enter in the registry would be \windows\Start Menu I guess.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jeutie:
Dear BeeGee, I linked your 'tutorial' to the rollup thread :-)

Thanks for your contribution! much appreciated, works like a charm
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Thanks, will try to stay helpfull.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] TheZer0:
Hi there, thank you for your reply.

i tried to specify a path with and without ending \ or links to that directory, eg:

\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\Spiele\

\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\Spiele

\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\Spiele.lnk

The correct icon of the games-folder (spiele == games) is always shown, but a click always gives the error.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I tried it on my Topaz with the following registry entries:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\19]

"Path"="\windows\Startmenü\programme\spiele"

"DispName"="Spiele"

"IconPath"=""

"IsReadOnly"=dword:00000000

and it works.

I exported the registry key and attached it here. It will put the Spiele folder on tab 19 in the TF3D Start Menu. Unzip it and copy the 19.reg on your phone, and install it (I use Resco File Explorer to install). If you want to change the tab number, open the .reg file with a text editor and change the 19 to the tab number you want.

If this is not working on your Topaz, it might be a problem with Manila. My Manila is 2.0.38149.0 (shown at About on Settings tab)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] TheZer0:
hi thank you for your effort, but i guess my touchflo is simply to old (2.0.37911.1) :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Then its time for an upgrade :D

Some nice german ROM's are around here.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vheisterkamp:
Hey man, great explanation. Been lokking for this quite a while. It's also nice to be able to change the first few shortcuts.

One note though, you don't need a soft reset (at least I didn't). It seems WM reads the registry everytime you go to the menu. Both the pointing to a folder instead of a link and the isreadonly part work without a soft reset.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Yes, you are right. But when I created the explanation, I wanted to be on the safe side :rolleyes: And a softreset is not painfull :D but working :p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vheisterkamp:
Ah ok. Personally I try to avoid soft reset, since it messes up my gps somehow. Right now I have a fix in tomtom instantly (<1 sec). After a soft reset, it doesn't really work well until I fiddle around with the gps settings, and the first fix takes really long.

So I'm extra happy that it worked like this. Now I can reach everything that i use on the phone in 3 clicks or less.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Great Thanks to BeeGee_Tokyo and christis. See the Screen (worked on my HTC Touch Pro2@MDA Vario V). Now i have to search for some nice icons for the folder :) Have any got some icons?

There is also a question how to erase the keys to erase some space holder. I don't neet 30 of them :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] crispy514:
Hi,

I'm using NRG's WM6.5 ROM and cannot get this to work. The icons for the folders show, but when I click on them it just goes to the all programs page :(

Any ideas?

Cheers

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] laureus:
i tried this and it works but there is one thing i noticed: loading the startmenu takes much longer with folders in it.

i created 6 folders, linked them and my system needed up to 30 seconds to load the startmenu.

after removing the folder everything was at normal speed again.

anyone else had this problem?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
I have 4 folders in the startmenu and I do not see any delay in loading.

Are the folders you linked in the Windows\Start Menu folder or somewhere else?

Do you have many links in the folders?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] left of centre:
Add New Slots!

Hey.

Sorry, old thread I know but I think that there may be an easy way to add new slots. I'm totally unskilled in all this but thought I'd have a go at simply adding a folder named '24' in the Program Launcher registry and replicating in it the keys that are found in the other folders. Sure enough a new (25th) slot appeared on the start Screen but the 'add' function doesn't seem to work and changing the reg' values didn't seem to make a difference either.

Any thoughts anyone?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] left of centre:
Can anyone with more technical knowledge expand upon this idea of creating more slots in the start menu?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jeff_roey:
Great info! Your tips worked like a champ! One observation though: I noticed when I select a folder from the start menu, it seems like my icons take a lot longer to load. I'm usually scrolling program lists and waiting for my icons to catch up. Any idea why that is since I've only added and grouped existing items in folders?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] darkic:
Why just don`t use JSPAProgramManager, make a new folders in Start menu(Navigation, Tools, for example), move program shortcuts to folders(Igo, Garmin to Navigation folder, etc), and that`ş it, without playing with registry. And the best thing is, it`s free. Here`s a link:http://jaywinmodev.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2009-09-05T20:24:00-07:00&max-results=7
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Armin_M:
Hi!

When I tried Garmin Mobile XT and later deinstalled it, it left something back on my internal storage. Even after flashing new ROMs Garmin insists in asking me whether I wand to install it every time I plug in/out the USB-cable. Hitting "yes" it tells me that something is wrong (sure, because it has already been deinstalled) and guesses that there is not enough storage in main memory. Reinstalling and newly deinstalling did not help.

I really would like to get rid of this. An suspicious looking file on internal storage I could not find.

Ideas?

This might be an already asked question. Sorry, if so... Could not yet find an answer.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] anurbanlegend:
Delete the 2577 folder on your storage card.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Armin_M:
Thank you legend!

Renaming worked. I kept the folder because there are tomtom-files in it. Maybe they are good for anything. Tomtom is still working.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dj13241:
Hello all. I developed a custom Titan Build 21042 ROM kitchen, and one of my initial primary goals was to have the phone first boot with the radio off (details here) and then automatically restore my backup. The backup is stored on the Storage Card. Well, I have come to find out that Autorun can NOT run an EXE with a space in the path (as is the case with \Storage Card\).

I wrote this little piece of software to work around the issue. It will only run 1 EXE. A future version may run multiple commands (if I get enough requests).

The file "\Storage Card\WM_BackupLauncher.txt" tells the program what EXE to run. If you wish to run an EXE from the Storage Card in your Autorun, simply put the whole path to the EXE in "\Storage Card\WM_BackupLauncher.txt" and call WM_BackupLauncher.exe from your Autorun. This EXE must be cooked into your ROM. I have attached a ZIP'd copy of my OEM package for this program (In my Titan kitchen, I included this file in my "dj13241_UCAutorun_radioOff" USER_OEM package).

WM_BackupLauncher.exe will just exit if "\Storage Card\WM_BackupLauncher.txt" doesn't exist or the EXE referenced in the TXT file doesn't exist. If you wish to use the auto-restore functionality, create the file, and put the full path (without quotes) to the exe used to restore your backup.

SPB Backup WM_BackupLauncher Instructions:

-Copy your latest backup file to \Storage Card\SDConfig_Files\LatestBackup.exe

-Create \Storage Card\WM_BackupLauncher.txt with (no quotes):

"\Storage Card\SDConfig_Files\LatestBackup.exe"

-Follow normal restore procedure. I always click Customize Restore, uncheck System Data, click Next twice, click Options, check Force ROM upgrade mode, click Done, click Next, Select ROM Upgrade Mode on the dropdown, and uncheck Overwrite existing items, keep clicking Next until restore process starts.

PPCPimBackup WM_BackupLauncher Instructions:

-Copy PPCPimBackup.exe to \Storage Card\SDConfig_Files

-Create \Storage Card\WM_BackupLauncher.txt with (no quotes):

"\Storage Card\SDConfig_Files\PPCPimBackup.exe"

-Follow normal restore procedure

Please let me know what you think, as well as any bugs (which I don't think exist).

I have just got my HTC Touch Pro 2. When I listen to streaming radio from http://87.248.216.211:80/grupo_st92-live_audio?MSWMExt=.asf with Windows Media Player, the playback stops when the screen goes black due to inactivity. When playing MP3:s this never happens - the playback continues even when the screen goes black.

How can I fix the problem? I have tried this radio stream with GSPlayer and Resco without success.

Well at first my g1 would launch Google maps/market for no reason so ireflashed hero

And now it won't let me install anything

Is my ext3 damaged

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcampbe:
First off I want to thank all those involved with this community and for the purposes of this thread especially JAC, Dizzy, db and all those who have worked to get a functional Hero rom for the G1. The latest JAChero is incredible, I rarely have a loading screen and almost never seen the htc screen. My only problem seems to be that a quarter of the incoming calls lock up my phone.

The purpose of this thread is to appeal to someone with the correct understanding of this subject to enlighten the community with regards to the size and functionality of a linux-swap.

I know there is a "search" button, which I'm sure most all of us have used throughly regarding this, but it seems most of the devs differ on their opinions.

JAC and others have said that a swap larger than 32mb will have an adverse effect on performance, yet curious others, like myself have tested with sizes like 60mb, 92mb 128mb, and have seen a boost in results. I have read that linux swaps were originally used to extend memory back in the day that ram was incredibly expensive and that the size does not matter.

If anyone has the answers and has tested the different sizes please respond here and if you can address this in a thread on the development page, many will be very grateful.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
32mb has worked wonders for me. In theory the linux-swap partition creates more RAM for you, but will eventually lead to problems if it is too big. My suggestion is stick with 30-50mb on your linux-swap partition

Hi,

I tried to search for any existing apps, but nothing found so far.

Will the Xperia be compatible with WM7 when it comes out?

Simple short question, but i am anxious to know.:p
[XPERIA X1 General] CommanderThor:
Short answwer? Nobody knows, but probabl will be ported. Certainly not be official upgrade, but if they are able to put Linux on Experia, just couse it uses same processor arhitecture, that i am 99% sure they will port Windows 7 as well.

It is becomming more prety much like on desktop you can put Windows 7 on computer that came with Vista preinstaled right? :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Matt1408:
Windows Mobile 7 isn't the same thing a Windows Mobile 7. I am quite sure a version of WinMo7 will come out for the XPERIA when a beta version is available. There isn't a lot of new features in WinMo7 that I know of so for now I will use 6.1.
[XPERIA X1 General] SyntheticDistortion:
Wow, not a lot of new features? Have you seen the screens???
[XPERIA X1 General] Matt1408:
So I take back that statement. Screens look awesome.
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Those pictures aren't official. Why are you guys making assumptions?
[XPERIA X1 General] CommanderThor:
Well you can be sure WInMo 7 will have EVERYTHING rewritten. Every menu, SMS sending everything, no more ugly menus, so it is not that much abaut features iPhone has less of them for example. But if you will be moving through setting or stuff anywhere you won't see one single resemblance to WInMo 6. It will be like TF3D would be made to completly remove any WInMo 6 stuff there is, just different, so WinMo 7 is bringing buty to Windows Mobile, somthing that has been neglected from winmo 1 to 6. And a little tweaked for 6.5.
[XPERIA X1 General] SyntheticDistortion:
Because that all we know is that they are leaked pictures so we assume that this is WinMo7, for at least a bit. Can anyone guess the system specs?

Greets,

I have been living with this for a while, and hope someone can help.

Each time I flash a ROM or reformat my home computer, my first sync with my Tilt doubles all calendar entries. SIM contacts are hidden/off ... this has to do with the phone thinking the outlook contents are new to sync.

Does anyone have any idea how to keep this from happening?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] japester36:
Hi,

I had exactly the same problem, annoying in the extreme.

I use the MyPhone service (free) at http://myphone.microsoft.com and this has a Remove Duplicates feature after you have sync'd your Calendar with it. It also does Contacts if ever that become a problem.

Seems to work well and I have recently used it to restore my MDA after a ROM upgrade to check it works.

Hope that helps

just randomly checked the sony website, and there are two new panels...

Test CNN panel B10

and

Test Gokivo Navigation B10

http://www.sonyericsson.com/fun/wxh...ntentItemId=36424;ts=1247690304226;phoneId=-1

Don't know how long they've been up, so apologies if this has been posted already (i did quick search before posting and found nothing)

The Test CNN panel has a funky new 'roladex' style front page (3D), and it's generally smoother

The Gokivo is pretty slow to search for places considering I was on Wi-Fi connection, looks like a pretty good panel though, only had a quick look in the menu, and it's got traffic updates too. It's kinda like a cross between TomTom and Googlemaps. Didn't have time to test it, but here's the website link:

So maybe SE haven't quite given up on the xperia just yet....?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] SyntheticDistortion:

like mentioned in previous post it's in between TomTom and google maps but needs to be a lot faster to be useable.

does anyone know how to configure web2go on g1? i believe the tzone config is no longer working!!!

Thanks
[G1 General] <blank>:
I've been using the 9.99 web2go for the past 2 months with internet2.voicestream.com APN. Just died on me yesterday, now everything redirects to m.web2go.com

I think this may be a final change this time :mad:, since before it used to redirect to some IP address.... I don't remember it anymore

It used to be that epc.tmobile.com didn't work but internet2 did... gonna wait a couple more days and see what happens.
[G1 General] ytj87:
I had been using *for years* the $5.99 t-zones grandfathered, both epc.tmobile.com with *no proxy* needed and wap.voicestream.com with the 216.155.165.50/8080 proxy, on many phones. internet2 and internet3 did not work for me.

On Wed when I got the G1, a data link was established over both epc and wap, but I always got redirected to the "you need a G1 data plan - upsell" web2go page.

I tried browsers that could spoof their user agent and still no go. I tried different T-Mo account SIMs that were not linked to a G1 and still no go. I tried the stock firmware, RC29, the latest JF 1.51, rooted, and unrooted. I tried a SIM with the $9.99 "web for phones" plan using internet2 and no go. It looks like T-Mo is detecting the G1, probably through the IMEI.

I've been searching for a few days for info on how to spoof the IMEI, using an app. It seems like on a rooted phone this should be possible?. But nothing.

I deleted my $4.99 400 messages and $5.99 GF'd t-zones and got the $24.99 G1 data + 400 messages plan. That's $14 more per month. Ouch. But I don't see a way around it at this time. Only when an IMEI spoof is available.
