Hello guys. I am trying new roms and have a couple questions...
- I think that is complicated to send a sms message without stylus... In WM5 to send a new one only takes to press a big button with a finger, but with MMS Composer i have to go to Menu - Send - SMS (and all this in small buttons, impossible for fingers)...
Can i unnistall this program and send SMS's with regular WM feature ?
- How can i give a space with Blimkeys ?
I can also unninstall this program to use the regular WM6 keyboard ?
Thanks guys.
Regards.
I will be compiling a list of tips and tricks as I'm getting used to my S740 that will hopefully help others ramp up more quickly.
Desired Result: I'd like to have my phone lock when the screen goes dark so I don't accidentally call someone from my pocket
Suggestion: assuming you've already tweaked your power settings to turn off display per your preferences, go to Settings, More, More, Key Lock. Select "Lock Device When Idle" and check "Unlock Device When Keypad is Opened"
Result: this ensures I don't call someone accidentally (power timeout for screen is set to 10 seconds, lock device when idle locks device when screen goes off) but still allows me to grab the phone from my pocket, open it, and txt someone without having to enter my pin.
Quickly Toggle Bluetooth On/Off
(an old favourite)
Desired Result: a quick way to toggle bluetooth on and off
Suggestion: install Bluetooth Toggler from this thread; map a SpeedDial button to it by going to the app (might be under Accessories), clicking Menu, Add to Speed Dial
Result: holding down that Speed Dial number = BT toggles
Here are some in which i have used and compiled :
CHomeConfig - Configure your Sliding Pane

I have it in my 740 rom on my shadow. are you also missing the reg entries for the pictures homescreen plugin ?
I doubt they removed it from the cpr. check the home.xml to see if they just removed it from there.
Guys remember chomeconfig will not save your configs after reboot.
so any homescreen order will be reset to default after reboot. at least on my 740 rom it doesnt save because the HTC home.xml is diffrent then normal 6.1 home.xmls
can anyone realize a direct link to "write new sms" on the home page?!?
thank you in advance!

ShadowMike,
Thanks for your info. I used CHomeConfig to check and looks like the CMyPhotos there, but disabled by default on HTC Home . Wonder why they did that.
Viskas,
If you change the default home screen from HTC Home to Windows Sliding Panel, the SMS/Messages plugin allows you to create new sms from the home screen.
However, i believe you should also consider the faster way to write a new SMS from the home screen, which is to just start typing the contacts NAME from the home screen, and select send SMS using the softkey. I think this is the best and fastest way to do it.

To disable the HTC/TouchlessFlo/whatever black ugly volume bar, delete following registry key. The default system volume bar will appear next time you restart the device.
Code:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Services\HTCVOLUME
Anyone knows hot to disable the signal blinking/charging blinking/pulsing led around the cursor keys?

Program shortcuts on Homescreen?
Is it possible to put a shortcuts for launching of favorite programs directly on HomeScreen ?
picture dialer
Anyone know of a way to add a picture dialer (like in touchflow 2/3D) to the homescreen, possibly via CHome Config? I really can't get used to only having the keyboard quickdials as an option.
Phone contacts vs SIM contacts
I'm really annoyed 'cause I can't find a way to make it show me only the contacts stored on the phone. Any ideas?

ugly "beep" sound at call start
Hi,
I am trying to get rid of the "beep" sound that you hear when you press the green receiver to start a telephone call. In S710 one should exchange the file callstart.wav. In Windows Mobile 6, I cannot find this file. Anyone knows what to do ?
Thanks.

For people that want to have control on what is tweaked to allow them to easily revert back. You only have to add the following key to your registry for defaulting to abc mode instead of the annoying XT9 (see CM_ENT~1.001 in HTC_Touch_Dual_t9_problem_patch.CAB):
Key Name:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME

Hey All -
I'm a bit of a newbie - got my Raphael last week. I love the site and appreciate all of the mods/apps/themes in here. I did a bunch of different keyword searches and didn't see the answers to a couple of questions...
1. When I go into Adv Config Tool --> Menu --> More Settings --> TF3D and add the Call History tab , it doesn't show up after a soft reset. Any ideas as to why? If I go back into the Adv Config Tool and check the Call History tab is unchecked...I've done it a few times to ensure I saved correctly, etc., but still having the issue.
2. Any idea how I can reduce the size of the clock on the TF3D home screen? I depend on my daily calendar and would like to see more of it on the home screen..I'm also going to try and rid of the Call History line on the home screen (according to 2/3 other posts).
Thanks for the help!
im not using the advanced tf3d im using the diamonds tf3d its works on the touch pro if u delete the file needs tweaks under program file it works just fine on my pro
UP!
I am looking for add a new tab on TF3D too, my father's diamond show the call history tab, i tryied it with advanced config tool and did not success..
i would like too add it to
Flashed to WM6.5 in an apparently futile quest to resolve my wifi connectivity issues. Now I'm trying to get used to the new UI. It's fine, but I'm missing one feature on the phone: It used to be that within the Phone application, hitting up on the D-pad would bring up Speed Dial, then you could hit the D-pad up or down to get to the number you want, and then hit the middle of the D-pad to dial. Made for nice eyes-free dialing. How do I replicate that feature?
iconsoft phonex has an even quicker option of favorites
it also has a fairly simple speed dial using the pad
comes with a today plugin w/ row of quick opening buttons:
favorites, messaging, phone pad, comm manager, ring/vibe selector
favs, comm & selector all slide open right on the today screen
making calls to my favorites has never been quicker or easier
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506221
this is the favorite people app for win 6.5 and you can use the dpad for dialing
Thanks for your replies. What I'm looking for is fast, eyes-free dialing. Under WM5 and WM6, I used a program called Smartskey. It remapped the function of the d-pad within the default Phone application, so that hitting Up brought up your speed dials and Down brought up the call history. I found my old copy of smartskey 0.6 archived on my PC and installed it on my new WM6.5, but it appears that those d-pad remappings aren't working.
I downloaded and installed the demo for phonex. It's quite nice, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, the today shortcuts aren't as useful under Titanium, which is what I'm trying to run.
I may resort to that Favorite People app, but if possible I'd rather find a way to replicate the old smartskey functionality -- habits are hard to break.
Hi guys
I've tried several different ROM's recently but one thing that seems to be missing from them all is Quick Launcher (I think that was what it was called).
Basically I want the phone dialer to open when I slide the keypad out - unless I'm in another application such as SMS or Opera (where I just want to use the keypad for input).
Does anyone know of a CAB or ROM which will do this.
I'd also like something that will show on the top bar when my bluetooth headset is connected (at the moment it only shows when I start to dial) - Again CAB or Rom suggestions?
I've also just loaded this which seems to be a cracking application and well worth a look.

I have gone back to Niki Project Rom Editor v2.1.3 (WWE/ITA/GER/FRE/PTG/ESN )
until I can find something else
Having gone back to the previous ROM I realise it's not quick launcher that I'm after.
Quick Launcher lets you choose New Email, New SMS, New MMS etc which I had disabled before.
This rom does respond immediatly when you start dialing the other 6.5 that I tried didn't - any suggestions??
I simply want to be able to open the H/W keypad and start dialing without a delay or having to press another button first.
