Modifying the 3 Launcher Icons

Hi All

Running HGR1 and loving it

I recently had some anomolies after my first burn of HGR1

I realized I had not done an actual Cold Reset after the install

(Doh! <BG> I hit Vol Up+Dwn and Pwr button instead of red Warm boot switch)

Anyway after reloading all my software many of the anomolies I had are gone

and I got back my 3 Today page Launcher Icons (I love that feature and look forward to 4 or more buttons) But to make a long story short I also did a lot of customization of my Start page icon into Folders.

What I soon found out is that the 3 launcher icons are hard coded to the location of the icons for these three Apps. So as soon as I created a folder called GPS

and moved the shortcut for GoogleMaps from the Connectivity to GPS folder

The Today Screen Launcher for Google Maps no longerworked (Not Found Error)

I know this was a last minute feature added to R1 so I understand is still has a few quirks to it but just be warned if you move the icons from there origial location these launcher tabs will no longer work properly.

I have found in the registry the location of the the icons

but there must be other params that need to be tweeked because

I'm not able to correctly edit the exe and icon paths to the new paths?

Mr Dutty please let us know how to tweak or maintain the launcher applications

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious?

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manilla\Home\0, 1, 2 are the three launcher keys

0 File Explorer

1 Google Maps

2 MS TaskManager

FINAL NOTE DOH AGAIN <BG>

The Paths for these Icons all edited correctly

Just needed to reboot the Device for it to update to the newly edited paths

Happy Camper here all Launchers working correctly with moved icons now

Thanks Again

KJL

PS I'm still surprised these are paths to links and not to the actual

executables? (pointers to pointers?) Wouldn't pointing directly at the exe

allow more flexibility in moving start page icons?

(Launcher would be unaffected by start page editing)

Maybe I'll give it a try and let you know how it turns out?

I've found out that the registry editor included in Duttys Leo R8 actually was a part of DotFred's Taskmanager. You can manually install the taskmanager after you download it from the site. Start it up through the start menu and configure it to display the registry editor. It will automatically ask you if you want to associate .reg files with it. That's it, it works great!

I've seen that once in a ROM bij !Aman!. It was because I used TD2-tools to configure Manilla/Sense to rotate with the g-sensor. If you're doing something alike, undo that and see if it helps.

Hey great looking out

I've reburned and started with a good cold boot so the problem has gone away

but you are right on as I had "just" used TD2-tools to enable rotation shortly before I noticed that grey box. I haven't used it since I reburned but will keep

an eye open for it this time. (my results so far with rotation on HGr1 have not been that satisfying or even reliable, but its hard to say if its the AP themselves or the Roms whitelist or TD2-tools.

I think we need a thread on rotation so we users can compare notes

maybe a list of known good/bad APs etc. I've been trying to get Landscape out of Tinyreader(nice reader that does many formats and .Lit files) No luck

yet.

I'm running HGR1 on an ATT Pure, using TD2-tools ver C

How long ago did this happen to you?

I'm using TD2-tools ver C (and was when I had the problem)

I think the author has version D scheduled for later this week

Time for me to do a system backup (systems nice and stable now)

but I can't swear, but I think the "box" remained even after a restore!

Thats part of the reason I reburned HGR1 and cold reset the system

Thanks Again

I have a feeling that you don't know the following:

1-If you swipe your finger up on the home screen (scroll up) it would reveal more shortcuts.

2-If you change the location of an icon, just remove the quick link (Menu>remove quick links) and then add it again, it will then point to the new location & will work, there is no need to change through the reigstry.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Optimus14:
Excellent work on this ROM. I love it!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
I really don't remember. But I think it's the Sense 2.5 that doesn't like being rotated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] eskasi:
I just ordered my HD2 which should be shipping in a couple of days I hope :) Its been great. THis is definetely my favorite rom and I hope Dutty will do some work with the Leo once he gets his hands on it.

Thank you dutty for making my Diamond 2 experience so fantastic :) My wife will be using my D2 now and I will retire/sell her D1. As such, I will still be following this thread to see if there are updates... there is simply no need to look anywhere else for better.

You are da man Dutty!

OH WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!

I HAD NO IDEA!!!!

I am such a "F"ing Happy Camper now!!!!!

THAT is JUST WHAT I NEEDED

now HG is indeed my HG!

Thanks for telling me

I hope others realize theres a full fledged

Touch Friendly Today Page Launcher built right into R1!

just what it needed!

If I put my folders there it eliminates a hell of a lot of every day navigation

(a whole layer of hits per application which almost eliminates the need for a start page except for the dedicated button access.)

I'm really thrilled, you just made my day brother!!!

Just as a curiousity?

is that launcher characteristically from an other HTC device,

(sense/TF3D or WinMo 6.5.1) etc or did Dutty just roll his own?

How did you know about it? (makes me wonder what else I havent discovered?)

Thanks Again

Bug report

Not found a list of known issues, or a message regarding this through search, so...

- When creating an SMS, entering a name in the "To:" field does not auto-complete / auto-suggest until a typed character in the name has been deleted.

Example: When sending a message to "Smith, John" I would have to type, for instance "Smith, J" but would not be offered a list of names until I had deleted the "J" from the field.

Hope this is not a repost.

Holy Grail R1 Issues

Hi Dutty,

Great ROM. It's really fast and I like it better than R8 except for a few issues.

The first is the facebook issue that some have mentioned before. There is no way to globally associate my contacts with FB and do a global update like in R8

I get the white boxes in favorite contacts sometimes when I make a change. This still happens after hard resetting.

The last issue (and I hope there is a workaround) is that when I add a contact to favorites I cannot associate the favorite with the contact card, I have to choose a number. Is there anyway to get around this. This is very inconvenient as I have to choose how i interact with the contact most. Otherwise I have to dig into my long list of contacts :(. I guess I have to go back to R8 is this isn't fixed.

Edit: Another question for anyone...Is there a way to queue up a song in now playing in the HTC Music Player. I can only seem play all songs in an album or if I just want to play 1 song, i have to create a playlist. Anyway to just add 1 song to Now Playing?

Thanks!

Hi all !

Although I've disabled the "Auto Time zone" and the "get time from the internet" My clock keeps forwarding one hour sometimes. Im not sure but I think its related to the summer auto day light saving.

Does anybody know if this feature can be disabled o why this is happening to me ?

Thanks for your help.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] loadstone007:
Dutty, is there a way to add static wallpapers back?

Also, the weather effects always tend to overload on the device causing it to slow down and "stutter" while in usage. Can this be fixed?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
You can select your static wallpaper from the animated menu. On homescreen go to Menu/Home Wallpaper/Animated Wallpaper/Albums/ and find your static wallpaper.

I need some help...I used the wrong HARDSPL for flashing this rom, now my topaz stuck at the first screen which is a black background with a white text of "Touch Diamond 2".....and it can't be connected to the PC to flash this rom again with a correct HARDSPL......:(

Is there any way to fix this problem??
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Shiv3r:
Hey Dutty and others,

I also have some problems with the alarm clock. It didn't go off this morning wich got me late at work :( I found out that when the phone is in sleep/standby mode the clock in the HTC shell stops. When I disable the shell in the today configurations and set the alarm it work like a charm. Hope you will fix this bug?!

Or is there an easy way to fix this?

Hope someone can help me wake up in time in the morning ;)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Download the correct HSPL and rename the file to TOPAIMG.nbh then take out your SD card and attach it to your PC. Format your SD card in FAT32 and copy the TOPAIMG.nbh file (the HardSPL 1.83) to your card. Load your card again to your phone and while holding both volume keys press continously the power button till you see the tricolor screen. Then follow the screen instructions.

This is standard manila 2.5 behaviour...you're going to have to live with it!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] luis miguel:
I recently installed Duttys Holy Grail R1 ROM on my Topaz and I am so very happy with it.

I just find some litle bugs:

Calendar week view wrong, but fixed changing first day of week for sunday.

Duplicated photo, but fixed also.

And the last one that make me crazy. I have a problem with my MP3 player. No matter what song I play it stops at 15-30 sec. The cursor then freezes and I can't change position on the song. I can move to the next song but it will freeze too. Any idea what is going on here?

Even I made a hard reset, flased again the rom, problem still remain.

The first days, was Ok, but now is impossible to use the player.

I have reformatted my SD card in a FAT32 file system with 4056 bytes allocation unit size, and same bad result.

Hope any one could help me please.

Thanks a lot for your help

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] coldcarbon:
This is true of all the 2.5 ROMs. It's not unique to Dutty's. I agree. It's a great feature. I'm not sure many people would miss that feature because the 2.1 manila had a slide-up feature too. But it was different in that it didn't display shortcuts.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] shumilica:
No you're not going to have to live with it! Just read this and replace the file accordingly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4927609

Empeka did a great job and it works flawlessly with this ROM!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] illi:
This situation forced me to take a longer look at the clock everytime I want to know the time. Quite irritating. Well, it's HTC's fault for coming out with such a design.

Anyone with the same problems and who knows how to fix this?

Thanks for the link, working great! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
For me it doesn't, strange...

I send the file via e-mail to myself, saved it to the storage card and then copied it and pasted it in the Windows folder. How can something that simple go wrong? :p

I don't think I got the "File replace dialog" the first time but I'm sure it is in the Windows directory. I can actually see two files with the exact same file name (5fa4d4b7_manila), how can that happen?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] thysone:
What a wonderfull rom! This might be the one for me. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
You should first disable HTC Sense then copy and replace to /Windows and then soft reset. After that you can enable HTC Sense again.

That's what I did anyway, and it's working.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
I did disable Sense and then copy the file to WIndows, the problem is that I don't get the "Replace file" dialog so the file is not replaced, instead there is a copy created with the exact same same. Very strange...

I'll put this in the mods thread instead.

EDIT:

Connected the phone to my computer and then I could see that the file had a dot (.) at the end of the filename (this was not shown when looking at the file in the phones File Explorer). Now I get the "File replace" dialog but when trying to replace the file it says access denied. And yes, I have disabled Sense and then made a soft reset. Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] tomcop:
Try to use some other File Explorer SW. I used Resco File Explorer, in Options changed settings about showing ROM and hidden files and no problem. Replaced manila file and all is working fine. And had to make softrest, not just run HTC Sense again in Today settings.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Like tomcop said you have to copy it with Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
Thank you both, that helped! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] middlep1:
I've had these alarm issues since Dutty's R5 Leo ROM (My first Cooked ROM on my Topaz). Since then i always carry out the same few steps to get my alarms working.

First I make sure I'm running the clock in 24hr mode

Second I install Advanced Config Tools and make the option '>Power Management >Battery resuming from suspend Timeout' is set to 5 seconds, I usually change to 10 seconds and back to 5 seconds, then select done and soft reset

I think what is going on is that when an alarm sounds the phone hasn't had enough time to resume from it's suspend mode and the alarm fails to sound because of this, I think this option in A.C.T. pauses any events for the chosen time before until the phone fully resumes.

Would be nice to see if this is just a registry change that could be easily built into Dutty's ROM's in the future

Hope this helps you and others out.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Laban:
Great tip, I'll give it a try!

I would also like to see a registry tweak for this. Anyone?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] katsj:
How did you fix the duplicate photo? And the problem with MP3 playing exists in my Topaz too. Did you manage to find any fix for that?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] luis miguel:
For duplicated photo:

This problem start when I change manila language to my country. changing mui file.

Then photos was duplicated, to fix this issue, I have loock for on registry the string0409 and found 4 values named savefolder_0409, for photos and video rename them to savefolderOcOa and soft reset, and... Ok now.

The 0c0a is name for spanish, you should put your proper code.

I hope this help you.

regarding the player problem, still have not found any solution yet.

regards,

Luis Miguel

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Ilhan:
Hi all,

I cannot see any missed calls. To see them I have to go to all contacts --> and then all calls.

I cannot see them on my lock screen or home screen. What to do....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
That's strange, I can. They show up as a reminder in the taskbar, and they show up in the people tab, if the caller is on it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] deechte:
I've found a workaround for this. You can reroute traffic by a registry change. The attached reg file reroutes the traffic from www.youtube.com to the IP-address of m.youtube.com. It also reroutes www

w

.youtube.com to the IP address of www.youtube.com, so you can also view the desktop version of the site, by adding a 4th w in the browser. Ofcourse, this only works until youtube decides to change their IP addresses. If you don't like it, you can always throw away the keys.

So now I can use Midomi to recognize a song on the radio; Midomi's 'search on youtube' function opens the mobile youtube site directly with Opera, looking for the song; clicking on the search result opens the youtube movie directly in the youtube streaming application on my Topaz. Great! Btw, I have no streaming problem with the youtube app at all. It works great over wifi, HSDPA and GPRS. Using HG1 Topaz dialer version.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] gianton:
Also I can see the missed calls in the lock screen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] katsj:
Correct!!!!!!!!! Thanks I changed 0409 to 0408 (Greek) and it worked!!! No more duplicate photos!!!!!

I haven't many issues with this rom.

Problem i do have is with bluetooth.

I have my phone paired with my car headunit (its a carkit also)

I can browse my phonebook, but when i select a person to dial, it pauses and then comes up with Error (nothing wrong with the stereo as i've used my SE C905 and SE Xperia and many other phones with it)

Also if i accept a call it works away grand, but if i receive another call shortly after finishing the first, its like bluetooth on the phone reboots, i lose connection and then it reconnects after maybe 30 seconds.

Does anyone else have issues with bleutooth car kits ewtc and this ROM?

Otherwise its running brilliantly

That's a mem / time saver when I lock my phone and the whole manila seems to be responsive.

My personal opinion is to add this by default :)

Remote sim BT carkit

Anybody tested this ROM with remote sim BT car kit ? I still have problem with reconnecting to network afer disconnecting car kit. I see this problem in every ROM after R6 (it was last without this issue), I have tested R8, HGR0, now running this HGR1 and stil the same problem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] middlep1:
if you have 20-30 messages stored for a specific conversation to which you are replying too then HTC SMS messaging in 2.5 seems to take quite a while to retrieve and display those messages in the 'conversation thread'. You can probably see it building up the SMS list by the very thin scroll bar on the right on screen, I personally regularly backup and then clear out my messages to get around this issue so I only have around 10 messages in the conversation at a time otherwise it's not practical to use.

I don't think this will be something any ROM chef can fix, it is a core problem with the HTC SMS application and the fact Manilla 2.5 is taken from the HTC Leo which has a CPU around 3x faster than the Topaz, possibly more, so it can handle the processing overhead of displaying the messages without affecting the user experience.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] thysone:
I agree and I was also told more or less the same story by a HTC official ( of the record ) when I asked why manila 2.5 was not installed by default on wm6.5 release for Topaz.
