Hi,

I'm new in Manila... and the HD2.

How to create a Quick Link to a subfolder like "Office Mobile" or "Games".

I was able to Create a Name and an Icon by changing HKLM/software/htc/manila/Home, but don't find how to create a path to a subfolder like "Office Mobile" or "Games".

I try to modify "exePath" registry key (\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Jeux ), but it doesn't work...

any idea? ;)
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
hum hum, it seems to be difficult to find a good way :(

Perhaps it's possible to do it using Morscript...

On my old Omnia, I created a file called Games.mscr, where we find :

Run \Windows\SamsungPrograms.exe,\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Jeux

my problem is that I don't find the "SamsungPrograms.exe" equivalent in the new HD2 !!!

please, any idea ?
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
for the moment, I create a shorcut to "Games" with RescoExplorer...

but it opens with RescoExplorer :(

I'm sure we can find better way to open directly the "Games" (or "Office" or "Multimedia" or ...) directory with a Quicklink.

I'm sure you have the answer :D, please, share it ;)
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
I think I found something impossible to do with Leo !!!

or you don't want to share your solution?
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
fredcom2 please share your solution. so Want to have this.
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
sorry for my bad english...

in my previous message, I'd like to say that I probably find something impossible to do with Leo.

I'd love to have a solution for a Quicklink to a folder, but I don't have...

My previous phone was an Omnia and it was possible to create a Morscript shortcut with something like that :

"Run \Windows\SamsungPrograms.exe,\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Jeux"

but I don't find the equivalent of "SamsungPrograms.exe" in our Leo ... so no solution for the moment.

sad

[HD2 General] fredcom2:
Hi tboy2000,

thanks for your time.

you pinpoint what is NOT working for our HD2.

in "old" manila, we had to change something like "HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\18"...

but we have no more "Manila\ProgramLauncher" key.

in fact we have something close : "HKLM\software\htc\manila\Home\18" and we have "exepath" instead of "Command"... but it's not working for me as my folder is always open by RescoExplorer or FileExplorer and NOT with the StartMenu Launcher.

I probably do something wrong, but I'm not able to find what's wrong :confused:

Hi,

any news about this subject?

I'm allready working with a shortcut opening the "Game" folder with FileExplorer (or RescoExplorer), but not directly in the StartMenu...

any idea?
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
I had this question too but then found an alternative solution which involves 1 extra press:

move the games folder [which you see when you press the windows hardbutton] to the top of that screen; then all you do is press windows button; press "games" and Robert is your Uncle
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
Hi,

many month later, same question : is there any clean solution to open a subfolder like "Office Mobile" or "Games".

It was possible with my older phone (Omnia), I saw video where it's possible with Iphone... so is there a way to do it with our HD2?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
pm watcher64. maybe if you are nice to him, he will explain it to you. Yes there are ways, he made a shortcut for me for my movies folder.

edit: here is his post explaining how to do it:

[HD2 General] fredcom2:
@nrfitchett4

thanks for your answer...

BUT this shortcut only opens a FileExplorer directory...

what I mean, and what I want, is to open directly the Windows Program windows in the good directory (say Multimedia or Games or Tools).

Again, it was possible with my old WM Samsung Omnia, ant it's possible with Iphone.

edit: in RescoExplorer, it's possible to create a shortcut of a directory with "Files/SendTo/asAShortcut"... but, as fileExplorer, it just open RescoExplorer and not the Windows Program windows
[HD2 General] DN41:
works for me with normal file explorer of windows.

i just make a shortcut with the file explorer and copy it to windows/startmenu.

DN41
[HD2 General] fredcom2:
I'm sorry for my bad english...

I know that it's possible to have a shortcut who opens FileExplorer or RescoExplorer in a directory like Windows/StartMenu/Programs/Games ... BUT it's completly different that opening the "Games" directory by Start/Games... this is not the same screen.

So my question is : is it possible to open directly the Start/Games?

on the 2 pictures below, we can see the difference between the 2 possibles open...
[HD2 General] Richy99:
im not sure it does shortcuts to folders on the homescreen, if it was s simple and easy method im sure you would have been directed to it already

Currently i can set up to 6 quick shortcut on htc sense desktop. It's possible to get 9 or 12 of it ?
[HD2 General] Archer:
You need to search the forum mate. There's currently solutions out there to give you 4x4 and 5x5 quicklinks on the home page. I think they're in the stickied tweaks thread.
[HD2 General] riccardoroma:
thank you very very much

now there the same solution for contact tab ? i need at least 20 contact
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've not found anything to increase the number of contacts on the people tab, which is something I too would like.

I found a link for 5x4 (not 5x5, sorry) quicklinks, and thought I'd post it here, in case anyone comes across this post while looking for the same solution.

I have an unlocked HTC Touch Pro2.

I tried the Opera Mobile 10 beta but didn't like it due to it's limited zoom function, so uninstalled and changed back to the pre-installed Opera 9.5. Previously, I was able to view all sites in its full desktop resolution but now I can only see certain particular websites in the mobile verison formatted view. I have ensured that "Mobile View" is unchecked in the settings.

The main site that seems to be causing this issue is www.4winmobile.com

Does anyone know how to correct this?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ThunderDick:
My Kaiser has a Shifu3 WM6.5 ROM.

In this ROM, with TouchFlo Today, the reminders pop up with a white window showing the appropriate text.

Either pressing Snooze or Delete, the reminder application closes itself by calling Today screen.

Even if I was working on other application (i.e. Facebook) at the moment of the reminder.

This is a problem, as I want to use a different Today (SP Home Shell). But if SPHomeShell is enabled, the reminder application calls, when closing, anyway TouchFlo today, that is disabled, so the phone stucks with a totally white today.

So i simply ask:

1) does it exist a way (registry?) to set TouchFlo reminder to close itself calling the "default Today" (or, better, by simply closing itself not calling any different application) instead of TouchFlo Today?

2) This reminder tool only shows "Snooze" or "Delete". The problem is that Snooze has a fixed time (I suppose 5'). Standard WM reminder has a snooze menu, that is much more useful. I'd like very much to find the way of using default WM reminder instead of this one....

Thanks

I had the problem of some albumart not showing in my htc media manager in the touchflow today screen.

I tried the solution of putting songs in a folder with the folder.jpg as albumart, this worked but it meant that for every song i had to make a different folder since i have many songs this was not really the solution i was looking for.

I wanted all my songs in 1 folder.

My songs look like this : Artist - Song name.mp3

if you make a jpg with the following name : ~hTC_Song name.jpg

the albumart is displayed correct.

I now have all my songs and album art in 1 folder and all the albumart is displayed.

I don't know which version of Manilla/Touchflo you're using, but in 2.1 aswell as in 2.5 album art embedded in mp3tags is read corrrectly. You can add album art to your songs by using programs like MediaMonkey or Mp3Tag; much easier the manually renaming jpg files ;)

[HD2 General] giopirolli:
Hi guys

Hoping someone would be kind enough to take the time out to answer some questions I have regarding my HD2 on T-Mobile UK and how I go about modifying it etc

Please bare with me....this is the first smartphone ive ever had and am totally new to all of this! :S

1) Does the fact that its locked to T-Mobile (and has some form of their own software on it) mean I am unable to make use of the many updates or software tweaks that appear on this site?

2) I see people talking about Manilla...is this the software HTC place on top on WM6.5?

3) I see a lot of people talking about flashing their ROMs....what does this actually mean? Is it possible for me to get rid of all T-mobile crap on my phone and be able to apply updates, fixes etc whenever I want?

4) I know of some people who have Jailbreak their iPhone allowing them to run loadsa different software on it etc....is something similar possible on the HD2?

5) Basically it all comes down to the fact that I dont like the basic taskbar look on my phone (really want a colourfull taskbar and some form of % battery indicator) and want to make it look a bit more modern/exciting....and Ive seen loadsa uploads on this site about other users homescreens etc and want to know how i go about doing that? Im not sure if having a T-Mobile HD2 will stop me from modifying it in that way?

Would really appreciate any help/advice anyone is willing to give.....the site seems very oriented to people who know what they're doing lol and im struggling to find a section for novice users like myself! I really like that idea of having a phone I can customise whenever I like.....just not sure at all of how to start going about it...... :confused:

Cheers!!! :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
The fact that it's locked to T-Mobile doesn't affect the majority of software on here. Sometimes, there'll be discrepancies between what's expected on your phone, and what's actually on your phone. This will be rare, and usually resolved on here anyway.

Yes - Manila is the Sense UI.

Flashing the ROM changes the core of the phone. It's often done to do exactly what you said - to get rid of the software that's there by default, but you don't want it. Another more common reason for ROM flashing, is ROM updates that include software fixes (as just happened with 1.48), or windows updates.

You don't need to "jailbreak" windows mobile. Question 3 covers this really.

Having a T-Mobile phone won't stop you changing that at all. Just get used to these forums and searching them and you'll find most things you need. There's certainly taskbars on here. You're better off looking in either the root Leo forum (one step above this forum), or the themes and apps one. Also, the Sense UI has a lot of mods in other forums. The Blackstone, for example, had the Sense UI available in a ROM way before the HD2 was released, so that's also a good source of information.

Just keep reading and you'll be fine. We were all new here once :)

Have fun!
[HD2 General] giopirolli:
Thanks very much!! :) appreciate it!

however, u say here:

just wondering why I wouldnt want to apply ROM updates and windows updates? would it not be better to do this than wait for official updates from T-Mobile that will prob take forever to emerge? :confused:

I've seen on some forums that there is already an official (yet not appearing on the HTC site) HD2 ROM upgrade....but are you saying you advise against this? Or are u saying I dont want to change the core of the phone....but applying updates etc is still possible?

Sorry, excuse my ignorance!

Cheers
[HD2 General] Archer:
I don't understand why you think I'm advising against ROM updates, but I'm not :)

Basically, it's up to you to weigh up whether or not you want to do a ROM update by looking at what's new and what's removed (if anything).

As far as waiting for T-Mobile to release their own version of the ROM.... yeah, you're right. I wouldn't bother.

I've just updated my HD2 with the 1.48 release, and it's a LOT faster. It's still new though, and a couple of issues have already been found. It's always "at your own risk" whenever you flash the ROM or install mods.
[HD2 General] dick turpin:
can i ask you what come in the box with tmobile handset, carry pouch? micro sd? an such. and did you get it from tmobile themselves or a phone outlet like carphonewarehouse, thanks in advance:)
[HD2 General] giopirolli:
ah ok sorry...i must have misred your original reply! :confused: apologies

ok...final question....if i wanted to upgrade to this new ROM? could u maybe quickly explain how I go about doing this? sorry to be a pain! Its just i was under the impression i couldnt do this as long as it was locked onto T-Mobile (or any network for that matter)

Many thanks again!! :)
[HD2 General] giopirolli:
hi....sure! no probs...

i got the handset (obviously lol) charger and micro usb lead (which is quite short and frustrating actually) also got a 2gb micro sd card! There was no pouch - although as far as I am aware HTC supply a pouch...which t-mobile (and all other networks as far as im aware) remove....to force u to buy one! So i bought the official HTC leather one online for £10 - which is quite nice!

I just walked into a t-mobile store in glasgow and asked for the phone...and they had it! :) i had been arguing all week on the phone with t-mobile upgrades and retentions.....they wanted to charge me £380 upgrade charge as i have a 50% line reduction.......but when i walked into the store they done it for me for £50!!! and kept my discount!!!! so now i get 1000mins, unlimited txts and internet for £20 a month! if ur looking for the phone and dont get quoted a good deal keep shopping....there's always someone willing to do a good deal! ;)

happy times all round! :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
Sorry - you're absolutely right. You can't upgrade with that ROM. The experts on here are working on something called "Hard SPL" which basically allows you to flash any old ROM you want, regardless of your ROM version at the time.

The ROM that's bouncing round at the moment is an official HTC one, and can only be used on phones that aren't locked to providers.

Since it's a new phone, I'd recommend getting used to it and the available mods on here. You don't need to be able to flash the ROM to install most of the mods, so you can still tweak your phone like mad!
[HD2 General] giopirolli:
Ok great - yeah good idea! Ive not used it enough to warrant any need to upgrade the ROM and im pretty happy with its speed etc at the moment....prob because i aint got any apps on it apart from a YouTube one (since the lovely people at T-Mobile remove the YouTube app that comes with the phone!)

I'll have a play around with some of the mods on the site and try get it looking much sweeter!lol

Thanks for all your help mate......very much appreciated!! :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
No worries mate. Have fun, search and ask. Also, be prepared to hard reset if/when you brick your phone for the 1st time ;)
[HD2 General] dick turpin:
hi thanks for quick reply:)

am glad you get micro sd, they could of threw the pouch in too LOL, oh well suppose its not that expensive. (know what you mean bout charger cable, same with diamond2:mad: lol) i`m with orange at the mo there not releasing the phone on there network at all i dont think, got my diamond2 from carphone warehouse 10 months ago. its been put in for repair 2 times already due to touch screen failure, last time i put it in it got sent to htc who declared the warrenty void because of certain applications on the phone and have demanded £70 to fix even though i pay insurance every month. decided am not paying gonna cancel direct debit as it was nothing to do with software why i put it in, in the 1st place, think its ridiculous! i`d flashed a cooked rom on my phone and unblocked it with hard spl, i reflashed original htc rom before putting it in the shop but forgot to reblock my phone again, thats what they mean by CERTAIN APPLICATIONS. so beware if flashing your device with non htc rom and you have to claim on insurance for anything, you have to reflash everything back to original htc factory software/roms. to be honest hard spl(unblocking programme to flash any rom) is not out there yet for hd2, i dont think. but just a little tip for you..

by the way lol, i cant seem to get my hands on a hd2 anywhere, there like rocking horse sh#t!! lol am getting really bored watching videos about the device on pocketnow.com now tho Grrrrrrrrrrrrr lol i NEED one soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol:)

just had an email from tmobile, apparently its on its way!!!!!!!!! yaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):)
[HD2 General] Gajet:
Erm you can flash the newly "released" Official HTC WWE ROM using the goldcard method. I did so on my T-Mobile HD2. The benefit of doing so is to regain the applications T-Mobile removed like You-Tube, CoPilot trial and Jetcet print. Also you get the advantage of being able to flash future patches directly from HTC, instead of waiting for T-mobile to get their hands on them and break it.

not sure regarding the warranty issue....id think so....tho if i had to send it in for repair (touch wood i wont) then id just restore it back to its original version 1st....:)

Yea 1.48.

There is not much improvements at this time but i always update my gadgets so chanced it on this.

theres 2 problems tho i hope someone has the answer to?

1) when i visit bbc.co.uk it loads the mobile page...as opposed to the full web page as before? how can i change it so it opens the full web page of all sites and not mobile versions?

2) the auto lock.....the oinly way i can get my phone to auto lock now is by setting it up with a pin....which i dont want...is there any way to get it back to like it was with the old rom and having to simply slide the button along to unlock the phone without a pin?

I had this issue with IE and Opera. Try scrolling right to the bottom of the BBC mobile web page and there is an option that says something along the lines of "display desktop page" enter that way and bookmark. Worked ok for me although I still get the odd page where it goes to the mobile page.
