Thanks, for wonderful tips/enhancements for the HD2. They've all worked as described. Please clarify how to "change their shortcut's properties to hidden"...

42. Hide Reappearing HTC Icons from Start Menu

If you delete the HTC shortcuts to Peep, People, Messaging etc and reset, they always come back. To hide these shortcuts for good (not the apps just the shortcuts) use the tweak below.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\IsShortcutEn able

Change to 0 and soft reset. You may need to change their shortcut's properties to hidden by accessing them in Windows/Start Menu/Programs folde.

And...

74. Add All Contacts to Home Screen Left Softkey

By default the left softkey on the the Sense home tab is coded to Phone which is pointless and a waste because you can get to the same Phone page by pressing the Send hardware key. Change it to the All People page (eliminating 2 taps) by using the following reg entry.

HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila

HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page

HomeLSKText = Contacts Is the text in blue font (after HomeLSKPath) to be typed in in entirety including your quotes. !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page HomeLKText = Contacts"

Thanks.

Helppppppp

Note for users new to Windows Mobile you will need a registry editor to find and edit files beginning with either HKLM or HKCU and a file editor that can unhide system files. Resco supply both apps and are recommended but are not the only apps out there. All registry entries are in red.

sorry to be a nob, but can any1 tell me how to these file editors i'm quite new to HTC and so not technical. need some of the tweaks listed here but my phone doesnt do anything with the CAB file where i save them to ma storage card. many thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
When you copy a .cab installation program on your device and click on it what then happens is your device will undo the contents of the .cab file then run it and install the program it relates to.

The .cab installation file is then deleted.

However, if you want to keep that .cab installation file for future use you need to either make another copy of it and place it somewhere safely away or better still get hold of a program that installs the .cab files WITHOUT deleting the file after installation.

As such you don't need to worry about making copies or the uncertainty of having the file disappear.

So, first off get yourself a copy of the free .cab installer file named CabInstl and copy it to your Storage Card (it's in the form of a .exe file and is for your Phone not your PC).

What CabInstl will do is handle your .cab installation files and not delete the .cab installation program.

Once you have it copied to your Storage Card on your Phone the first step is to run it.

Click on the CabIstl.exe file and at this point you can tell the program from now on I want you to handle all my .cab installation files and do not delete them afterwards.

Next step, look for a Registry program as mentioned previously.

I use Resco's Registry Editor but the free PHP Registry will allow you to look deep into your registry.

So, with the registry editor now copied to your Storage Card, click on it to install and CabInstl will spring to life and install the registry editor program for you.

Now, with the registry editor installed, load up the editor and you will see it looks something similar to that on a PC.

Simply navigate to the area of the registry that is your topic and you will be able to alter that particular item.

One word of caution..... Before you carry out any alterations on the Registry ensure you do a Backup.

I ALWAYS do a Backup before any alterations.

Depending on the level of alteration this can either be a backup of the registry file alone or using a Backup program like Sprite Backup you can make a Backup of your entire device. Thus ensuring if you make a mistake you can rectify the problem quite easily.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humungousfungusamongus:
One you save the CAB file to your card navigate to it, by pressing

start>File Explorer>Storage card

Once in there, you'll see the cab file, give it a tap and it will prompt you to install it to the system (phone) or memory card. If you are installing a registry editor, then select 'system' altho it doesn't really matter.

I've had my phone 2 days, having never used a winmo device before, so if anyone can answer better, go right ahead.

Hope that helps.:)

edit: Didn't see the above post - but I don't use that method at all for .cab files, I literally navigate to them, give em a tap, they install and if I choose I can delete the cab file afterwards.

Nothing you can do. The only way is to disable automatic update of the operator time.

not sure if anyone has mentioned it but I have found a way to get an extra day out of your battery..

when you wake up in the morning, take the charger cable out of the phone then put it back in for 30 mins to 1hr, that simple :)

I think the reason this works is the hd2 has no trickle charge, it can charge to full very quick so if you put it on charge at 11pm it would be charged by 1am at the latest, then it runs from then to when you wake up, draining your battery

This will greatly improve the battery life of the phone and make it a more usable device.

Then using something BsB Tweaks, you barely need to touch the registry. In fact, I think this time when upgrading to the latest ROM I didn't need to tweak the registry once and it all works pretty much perfectly as I want it. :D

RE Tip22. Change Your Quicklinks from 9 to 16 Slots

When you say "To remove some stubborn shortcuts which cannot be deleted" you should say for shortcuts 10-16 ie new ones after the original 9 as i have found that it is only these that cannot removed unless you edit the registry.

I have looked at what setting a blank QuickLink slot has and this is it

ContactFavorType (Dword = 0)

ContactOid (Blank)

DispName (Blank)

ExePath (Blank)

HomeServiceType (Dword = 0)

IconPath (Blank)

Index (Dword = 0)

IsNeedRefresh(Dword = 0)

IsReadOnly (Dword = 0)

IsSet (Dword = 0)

Compared to one with a QuickLink

ContactFavorType (Dword = 1567188340)

ContactOid (Blank)

DispName (Opera Browser)

ExePath (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Opera Browser.lnk)

HomeServiceType (Dword = 1)

IconPath (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Opera Browser.lnk)

Index (Dword = 0)

IsNeedRefresh(Dword = 0)

IsReadOnly (Dword = 0)

IsSet (Dword = 1)

Also to clear a shortcut properly you need to change HomeServiceType to 0 aswell as without this you are left with a grey patch over the icon slot.

So, HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Home/15 (15 used as an example - icon listed from 0-15)

ContactFavorType (Dword = 0)

DispName (Blank)

ExePath (Blank)

HomeServiceType (Dword = 0)

IconPath (Blank)

IsSet (Dword = 0) without this the icon will be blank but it will think you have a QuickLink set and not allow you to add another!

Also i have noticed that this cab adds the following shortcuts to your \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder

HTC Calender.lnk

HTC Footprints.lnk

HTC Music.lnk

HTC People.lnk

If you delete these as there is already shortcuts for these but named with an _ instead of a space ie HTC_Calender.lnk they reappear after you turn your device off and then back on again.

A nice effort to improve the front page but some work needs to be done to at least remove the icons being created on the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs as that serves no purpose at all.

If that does not work based on your carrier, try this:

change "DelaySeconds" value to 30 which should indicate 30 seconds.
