How to add other shortcuts in manila - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I have been looking for answer, but without results.
I want to add my own shortcuts in manila today. What do I mean 'my own' you ask, i have a lot of programs installed on my storage sd card, and i dont want to install it all over again after changing ROM. For example i have installed garmin navigation and i don't want to install it again and wasting hour for that operation, I just want to add shortcut to manilla an pin it to today screen.

Sir, probably it's me but I don't get/understand it!? What do you mean with "Shortcuts to manila"?
- Manila files are image files. Do you wont to skin manila files
and you don't know how to start?
- Do you will personalize the shortcuts? the one you see in the start window and on the manila home screen?
Maybe you can give some more information, it will be easily.

You need a .lnk in your start menu to the program. I use sashimi to copy .lnks to programs (not requiring registry information) installed on the storage card to /windows/start menu/programs. You can also just do this manually. Once the .lnk is there, you can add the program to the quicklink on the hometab.

I use Resco Explorer. Browse to SD -> Program folder > Select and long press the program you want > Send to > Start Menu as Shortcut
Then, go to Home tab, select an empty quicklink and select the program

Works on my Touch Pro just fine. Indagroove has a ROM for the touch pro & the diamond that is sashimi compliant. Install the ROM, install sashimi, reboot & off you go!
ROMs don't need to be SASHIMI compliant. You set it up on your SD card and just launch it directly from there. It'll automatically set up anything you have configured. It' a brilliant service! And it deserves a link to the official site/thread, too:
http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4
Be sure to watch the videos - they show you exactly how to do your initial setup.
Any one has al ink to that app or can e-mail it to me?

Isn't this forbidden by the mod/owner?
Since I can't find Sashimi anywhere, is there an alternative stand-alone solution to CABs multi-installs?
I attached SASHIMI for you. I am using it for more than a year now and if/when you set it up for your taste you can automate almost everything after a new ROM flash
Or just try UC Net. It is better as Sashimi and works also on new ROM's.
Sashimi better than other customization systems
Though Sashimi stopped development I can say it is the best!!
I think people did not give time to understand the way its files work and thats why they prefer other systems that do the half work.
Other systems donot put folders or files in any device directory, they dont install mortscripts, they donot add whole files to documents folder they dont execute .reg files and makisu xml with email and wifi settings.
I wrote these lines just to tell that Bengalin did a clever brilliant job though it did not widely adapted from the phone communities.
Maybe, if people want to try it, I will write a tutorial for its basic functions and maybe Bengalin is going to come again with a new version.

The above mentioned program does all this you mentioned, plus creates automatically shortcuts individuallt or from whole folders just with a simple text file command, moves or deletes files etc etc. You can also create numbered folders with files, exes, mscrs, reg etc, which are processed one after the other. At the beginning you can choose what folders should be processed. The only thing i miss from Sashimi is the resume feature, but as it never fails during installation i really don't need it.

There is a resume feature in Sashimi.If the installation fails at some point and you restart the device and run sashimi again, then it asks you to resume or not.
Also there is no need for text file command for adding a shortcut.You just copy your tree in the root folder of auto sashimi and then the file or shortcut appears where you want it.For example, if you want to add a shortcut in start menu you copy the tree in auto sashimi root folder like this:Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games/BubbleBreaker.lnk
But how you move or delete files?

OEMs for ROM Cooking

I have tried making some OEMs myself from Cabs (with some success).
I was wondering 2 things.
Does anyone know of anywhere that OEMs are downloadable. I am looking for programs like:
S2P
S2V
S2U2
TouchFlo
iContact
LiveSearch
Opera Mini
Mortscript
Weather Panel
Today Agenda
UL
I am thinking that my problems stem from the final stage
"The next window that appears, known as the 'initflashfiles tab' is for executable and help file links. Select which files you want your links and the folders to place them. Select and apply for each link and when finished, click done to proceed."
Can anyone explain this a little clearer? Do I actually have to do anything in this screen? I would love to be able to cook my own ROMS to make it easier to get my phone where I want it after a hard reset.
Also does anyone know if you can alter the OEMs and cook them. For example, could I replace the default themes in Weather Panel with the Diamond ones so that I do not have to copy from the card when resetting?
Sorry for all the questions but I recently did my first flash and now have the bug and it takes me ages to install everything every time i do it.
I get all mines from ppcgeeks some work with dcd some don't.
I use the UC option in the kitchen and use the OEMizer to create the info for it to install the CABs you want. They must be on your SD Card but it works great. It will also copy files from the SD Card to Main Memory as well. It is supposed to be able to make registry changes to but I never got that to work with just editing the provisional.xml file. OEMizer is great for several settings any ways and you will have your own personal OEM to put in the kitchen to bake.
PPC GEEKS oem.rar for the easy out way or if you are into learnning any of it oemizer works pretty good to.
I have use some on this post.
He does take request.

[APP][05.OCT.09 new beta]Application for theme switching in WM 6.5 Titanium

There are more and more themes coming up for WM 6.5 Titanium, which are not only tsk, colors etc, but also change greatly the Titanium....x......cpr file and the registries. When one wants to change from one such theme (for example WM7 project) to another (for example Shadow Neo Skin) the former theme has to be removed, and the new one has to be installed and customized, sometimes the plugins have to be reinstalled.
The theme switcher has the following capabilities:
- Backing up the existing theme, grafics files, cpr files, registries, so that it can easily be restored
- Installing the new selected theme
New beta release:
Supported resolutions QVGA, WQVGA, QVGAsquare, VGA, WVGA, VGAsquare... It only works with WM 6.5. You need to have MortScript installed.
IMPORTANT: First of all this will be replacing your Titanium cprs and bronzeres.dll files, so pls. make a backup of your original files.
Installation:
1. Unzip the enclosed file TitaniumThemes to Storage Card.
2. Have all the plugins installed that you want to have in your Titanium screen, so that
the themes can load them.
3. It is not necessary to install all themes, as i have collected all images needed by the
theme and stored them in folders inside the TitaniumThemes folder, so the images will not
clutter your Windows folder. The modded cprs point to this images. Below you find the
links to the corresponding themes threads, so that you can check out how the theme
looks, and say thanks to the theme designer for his nice work.
4. Run the "Install Titanium Theme Changer.mscr" from the apps folder in TitaniumThemes,
choose your resolution and click ok, this will install all supported themes cprs in Windows
and a shortcut for "Titanium Theme Changer. mscr" in Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
5. Run the shortcut "Titanium Theme Changer", select the theme you want to apply and in
a few seconds it will appear on your screen.
6. Apply the tsk of your choice
As said it is a beta version and it might have still some bugs, or errors in the cprs, as i only have a QVGA device, pls. report them.
I could have not done this without the help of many people, like BigDaddyG, RoryB and egoist6 from the MortScript thread, TWolf, drkfngthdraglrd and many more, so thanks to all.
Also please consider that i in no way designed the themes, i only modified the cprs for easy switching, so all thanks go to the themes builders.
Most of the plugins are supported in my cprs, like
All standard plugins
TWolf Multiplugin

I am working on such a theme switcher, done in MortScript. I have a folder named TitaniumThemes on my Storage Card. Inside there i have a folder backup where i save the current theme (Titanium_XXXxXXX.cpr (both P and L), bronzeres.dll and CHome registry). I have also a folder for each of the themes, currently WM7, TitaniumBuffed, TitaniumShadowNeo, Bliss, BlackDragon, where i stored the same files for the theme tweaked and set up to my liking. All themes have first to be installed, as some of them store in Windows some files like icons etc, or they create a folder under Program Files with those files. I tried first manually to swap this files and it work very nicely. Now i am trying to make Scripts to do this work, but i am a complete noob in scripting and have following problems:
1. I need to disable Windows Default to be able to copy bronzeres.dll to Windows, and i dont know the command for it.
2. I need to read and save the whole CHome registry (export) and also to import the themes CHome registry. This should be doable with MortScript but i found only how to import/export single keys and dwords in the manual.
3. At the end i have to enable again Windows Default.
When i could solve this points i would have a simple script based program to backup/restore the current theme, and to switch themes choosing from a menu.
you should be able to replace bronzeres.dll without the need to disable titanium. In order to refresh titanium after changing the theme you can use chomerefresh.exe provided by appstar. PM me If I can be of any help

In fact that was my first approach, to copy the files to windows and then refresh chome, but it is not working. Even when copying manually the files with total commander, i can do that for both titanium cpr files, but as soon as bronzeres is copied an error message comes up. So it looks like bronzeres needs titanium to be disabled before copying, when i disable titanium manually the script copies everything correctly to windows. So i have to find the command to disable/enable titanium.
On the other hand i have still problems to find the way to backup/restore the complete chome registry. I tried also to look inside the Sashimi script to find out how it is done there, but i am too much of a noob and could not figure it out (too many subroutines pointing from one to the other).
I had thought about doing this before but with a more ambitous approach that would have required theme makers to include an .xml file together with their theme. this .xml would include a list of all of the theme files and their destination directory, since not all themes are the same, some people replace bronzeres.dll and some others don't, so it's hard to tell unless you have a list of what to apply and what to remove.
Disabling titanium, as far as my research has gone, it's not possible with mortscript alone. These are lower-level system functions that can be found on C++, just like chomerefresh.exe which is also built on C++. Getting more complex as we dig deeper into it.
but, I still have faith in being able to replace the .dll without disabling windows default first, have you tried using mortscript's file attribute change to change the .dll's attribute from read-only to normal file before copying. I still do believe we'll need to standardize themes.

It is possible to disable and enable titanium with mortscript, it is just a registry HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/Windows Default, set Enabled to 0, then RedrawToday. The same to enable it, only set to 1.
I posted my scripts like they are now in the post below, asking for help to make them work, in the Mortscript examples thread. It still does not work to
replace bronzeres.dll, but i will look into your suggestion to change the attributes to normal before copying. The strange thing is that when i do everything manually with total commander with the titanium disabled it works flawlessly. On the other hand you are completely right, the themes are not standardized, but normally, with all the themes installed before, so that all the needed files are there, and then by replacing the above mentioned files it works. Thanks a lot for your help.

First try for an alpha version of the Titanium Theme Switcher. Download from the first post.
Hey claus - I only want to say how much I appreciate your work! It's really hard - especially to save everything, that nothing will be destroyed.
For bronzeres.dll - you must find a way to unload this .dll for changing - I'm not sure, if Mortscript can do it. If you need help - please tell me.
But perhaps you need no unload...this little needful thing could help, which I append
I use them very often by shortcut in StartMenu - especially "disable all" to switch off all todays and "EnableTitanium" - because I'm to lazy to go to my Home-Settings... (please comment iPhoneToday-Lines, if you don't have it - or make a check to Registry-Key, if it's exists)
Some questions:
- When can we expect a VGA-Version?
- Do you have a more technical implemention description how it works?
- What's the problem with cabbing? Perhaps I can help you
Thanx 4 all

Hi Micha
Thanks for your offer. In fact it took me some time to sort this out. Now it is working as i apply bronzeres.dll with a cab, so i don't need to disable Titanium. At the end i refresh Titanium so everything gets updated. The idea is later to avoid swapping out bronzeres.dll, when all theme builders make their themes without changing bronzeres.
A VGA version should not be difficult the only problem i have is that i only have a QVGA device. The cprs i have included are the themes cprs for QVGA, complemented with most of the plugins and some modded by me to get support for the plugins. I am still working on some icons and layouts. If someone with a VGA device has cprs for this themes filled with all the most used plugins i would be very grateful to receive them so i could put together a set for VGA. The same also for other resolutions. This shall be a theme switcher, so i am not interested for skins which can be changed by applying the corresponding tsk.
The way the theme switcher works is very very simple, and it works with Mortscript:
The themes must be installed first, all of them. Then we copy into windows the cprs for all this themes, Titanium_240x320.cpr and 320x240.cpr, Neo_240x320.cpr and 320x240.cpr, Lizzy_240x320 and 320x240.cpr etc etc.
By calling the themes menu mscr the menu pops up with all available options:
Save the current theme: This backs up the currenty active Titanium cprs and bronzeres.dll, so that one can revert back to what he had.
The next buttons are for applying any of the themes. This is done by inserting in the ExtensibilityXML registry the name of the cpr to be used, without touching the rest of the information in this registry, that means your personal plugin setup (active plugins and their order) stays the same. Then the corresponding bronzeres.dll is loaded by cab and when available the themes tsk is applied. At the end Titanium is refreshed and the theme has been changed.
As said this is still a bit rudimentary and i will with the time make it smoother and apply some cosmetics to make it look better.
The problem with the cab is that i have only built very simple ones like for loading bronzeres.dll into windows. For this i would need a cab which:
1. installs all the themes,
2. copies the TitaniumThemes folder into storage card,
3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs
I almost thought, that you're doing i like that... it's not rudimentary - it's a very good way Perhaps a little bit to complicated for some things (why not using ExtensibilityXML to approve only Plugins, which works with the skin). Thanx for explanation.
But one thing... I don't know if you assume this will be in future, that's noboy would change the bronzeres.dll - I think not all developers will know this way - and there will be much more edits in future of other Titanium-Files perhaps - I would save it and have a look, that it would work with and without Bronzeres. Save the differences of each installation to the original theme - and you mustn't care for such things (I know - that's very rudimentary - but how do you say in english: If the mountain won't come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain )
I will have a look for my VGA-cpr - at the moment I haven't very much installed.
To your problems:
The problem with the cab is that i have only built very simple ones like for loading bronzeres.dll into windows. For this i would need a cab which:
1. installs all the themes,
What's the problem there? The themes are all installed by cab - so alltogether should also be installed like cab - Perhaps - I don't now - you must only cascade the .cabs in Installation - with between "saving" - that could work
2. copies the TitaniumThemes folder into storage card,
*g* For this case you asked in the other thread. In this case... make an installer after installation (I think you have JMLToday ( *link*), too? - you know what appears after Installation? In this script you could put the copy...
If you want to make it International... why not putting the Name of "Internal Storage" in the language-File? Or: Ask the user, where he wants to have his "Save-Files" - then you have the complete working path for you.
There's no reason to put something in a .cab, which canbe much easier done after installation. You need it anyway the whole time if somebody creates a new Titanium Skin - or should then the cab be reinstalled?
3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs
Same as 2. - only back... and how to add Shortcuts in an .inf-File - I think that you already knows, right?
Keep up your good work - when it's working - than very much people will know, for what you'd make this effort!
Thank you
Micha

I did not want to touch the rest of ExtensibilityXML because i want to leave the setup of the plugins everyone already has. Anyway only the plugins supported by the theme will show up.

Some developers to which i have talked are willing to change their approach and try to leave bronzeres untouched for the next versions of their themes. Anyway the possibility to swap bronzeres is in the script and it is working well. I have fried to chnage theme without bronzeres at the beginning but for most of the themes the slider panel image is in bronzeres, so it does not look good without changing it.
I will have a look for my VGA-cpr - at the moment I haven't very much installed.

1. installs all the themes,
What's the problem there? The themes are all installed by cab - so alltogether should also be installed like cab - Perhaps - I don't now - you must only cascade the .cabs in Installation - with between "saving" - that could work

Yes i was thinking doing it like this but i have only done the very sinple cabs to install bronzeres up to now using the cab wizard, so i really am offside with building cabs.
2. copies the TitaniumThemes folder into storage card,
*g* For this case you asked in the other thread. In this case... make an installer after installation (I think you have JMLToday ( *link*), too? - you know what appears after Installation? In this script you could put the copy...
If you want to make it International... why not putting the Name of "Internal Storage" in the language-File? Or: Ask the user, where he wants to have his "Save-Files" - then you have the complete working path for you.
There's no reason to put something in a .cab, which canbe much easier done after installation. You need it anyway the whole time if somebody creates a new Titanium Skin - or should then the cab be reinstalled?

You are right on this, the script could be launched after installation and just copy the TitaniumThemes folder into Storage Card. I did choose this name as i used it in my scripts but i could change it to Internal Storage to suit the needs of non WWE users, for you it would be Speicherkarte right?
3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs
Same as 2. - only back... and how to add Shortcuts in an .inf-File - I think that you already knows, right?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok, can go in the same script, i thought pakaging everything into 1 cab install would be easier but you are right.
No - not "Speicherkarte" "Interner Speicher" would be the word, which Microsoft has chosen...
With Cab-Wizard you won't have any chance... you need the .inf-File... and I know... it's hard... there's no description for our purpose at one place - I had to seek very much around until I had the cab-concept e.g. for JMLToday.
But so I could help you - I will make bytheway a description with a .cab-Frame for JMLToday 5.3 - but I can give you the additional informations what you need to get it work with AT Plugin Installer.
Therefore I would need the complete directory-structure, which you want to cab... and a little time...
Send me a private message, ok? Don't want to blow up your Thread with Things that doesn't concern all users.
I am working to iron out the cprs for the different themes, to get support for most of the plugins out there today. When they are ready for QVGA i will try to resize them for the other resolutions with the new tool that came out, and post them for you to test them for me in your devices. When they are working well i can post installers for all resolutions.
I need information of which themes people is using to see which ones are worth to be included in the theme switcher, so pls. vote in the poll.
Cool Claus, but the poll isn't good
You develop a Theme Switcher - and in the Poll you can only choose one Theme

You are totally right Micha, it was late when i posted the poll and forgot to change the option to let choose several options. Now i don't find how to change this option. Any mod can help me do that?
There are some resized cprs to be tested on the first post for VGA and WQVGA. If someone with this resolution has TitaniumShadowNeo or WM7 theme installed could test them, i would be grateful. Pls. don't forget to backup your Titanium cprs first.
Will be happy for any feedback to correct the cprs.

-On the HTC touch HD,doesn´t work.I think it needs the NET CF v3.5.Any chance for a version with the NET CF v2.0?
-Regards
Nice work would be great if able to decide destination folder instead of start
Nice app, but it works only with English ROMs. For example, in my Czech ROM is the path to the Start menu like this:
\Windows\Nabídka Start\Programy
EDIT: What a speed . Thanks for the new version, now it works great.
nice! just searching this app!
thanks to ability to change destination folder, works great into french wm6.1
if we can send/open .txt with all paths of shortcuts to be created that's perfect !
incredible fast support
I will test as fast as I can to confirm beautiful work !

@drago

[UPDATE 12/16/10] WP7 LOCKSCREEN by pressing power button / CAB ADDED

SOLVED: HOW TO GET JAXBOT's WP7 LOCKSCREEN TO INITIALIZE JUST BY PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON!!!!
GO BELOW FOR CAB FILE
CREDIT:
A_C for S2U2
Jaxbot for Wp7 Lockscreen
vijay555 for VJBrisk
STEP 1. download and install the program mentioned in POST#7 (VJBRISK) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477519) to your device memory
also download the updated .exe file on the programs thread
Step2. once you have installed the program on your phone take the updated exe file and replace it with the installed one ( program files\vijay555\VJBrisk.exe )
Step3. Make Sure You Have Both S2U2 and WP7 Lockscreen Installed..
Step4. Take the .exe From the "Program Files\ wp7 Lock Screen" folder and rename it to "s2u2EXE.exe" and move it to the "program files\vijay555" folder
Step5. Take The Vjbrisk.exe and rename it to "s2u2.exe"
Step5 1/2. Launch the S2u2 settings program and make sure you enable the lock upon wakeup under general settings and then save
Step6. Now MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE S2U2 !!! do this by clicking the iLock2.exe and you will see a message saying "iLock2 and s2u2 closing..."
Step6. Funpart- Delete everything in the (program Files\S2U2 ) folderexcept these files:
-iLock2.exe
-iLock2.log
-s2u2.log
Step7. Move both of the newly renamed files in the( program files\vijay555 ) folder that we renamed "s2u2.exe" and "s2u2EXE.exe" in to the (program Files\S2U2 ) folder
Step8. press your power button right after copying... it shouldn't work
Step9. press the iLock2.exe program.... it should work now!!!
To Change Wallpaper... Select an image to use and rename it "lockscreen_image.png" and place it in the root folder
couple of notes....
1. you shouldnt have to add .exe when renaming programs
2. When you press the power button you cant immediatly do it again and expect the wp7 lockscreen to be there ... it is a slow program takes about 2 seconds to load so when you turn of your screen it will be about 8 seconds for it to fully initiate
[UPDATE 12/16/10]
Made a Cab!!!!
install to device memory
for the cab you do not need any pre-requisites of programs the little parts of programs needed to make this work are included in the install
program can be uninstalled.. is called intui-tech intui-lock
hmmmmm... it seems there is a sort of apps, which catch power button
in order to display their own menu (shutdown-restart-etc).
Probably some of these ones can launch smth.?
at least you can dig into this direction...
i think that quickshutdown can do this... especially intercepting the power button.

i appreciate your suggeastions but what i am really looking for is so that when i press the power button the screen goes off and wp7 lockscreen.exe go at the same time without extra clicking process...
You can probably do it with SK Schema.

so... i downloaded it do you have any idea how to build the script .. i tried and failed miserably

Try this. If it was my setup, I would replace the s2u2.exe or whatever it is called with the lock program I was looking for. There is probably a lock.exe of some sort in the windows folder. If you follow the instructions for this program, it will replace the lock program with your specified program automatically whenever it is looking to launch the lock program.
I do this with my calendar and clock and it works like a charm. Hope this helps!
Oh, and give props to vijay555. This really is a brilliant little program.

Quickshutdown has an option to launch an application when activated, without extra tapping. You just have to configure what application to launch and how the behaviour is. So when you push the power button Quickshutdown is launched and the the selected application is launched too.

i will add a step by step for the cab however
i dewcided to put just an update addition because im not sure if the developers of these three programs are okay with the cab i created...
i actually had to rename it like a new program because i equally used three different ones so im waiting to hear backfrom them
my cab pretty much does what the step by step says to do iam gonna leave the original step by step there incase they want me to remove the cab
the cab instructions will go in the update section
so does the cab install too the 3 programs? install the cab and bingo! everything is installed and ready to go?
Suitable tsk themes
we can use the wp7 style wm6.5.x tsk files from here

Very nice but, I have a few questions/problems...
1. Is it possable to adjust the font size ? On my Vzw Touch Pro 2 (WVGA) only Dec is shown in December, as the font is very large (maybe a lacking font for this ?)
2. Is there a way to get better performance from it ? Sometimes when I hit the power button (to wake it) it will not even show the lock screen, then it comes down a few seconds after.
3. When sliding up, I have to make sure my finger goes all the way from the bottom to the top, if I start from a little from the bottom, I have to attempt it again, sometimes this will take 2-3 times before I can open it, Can this be ajusted ???
4. When you change the image, is this the root of the device or the folder created by this installer (Program files\Intui-Lock) ?
Jaxbot said he did not include a font (Segoe WP) causing the text off the screen problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7920340&postcount=22
I found the font on XDA with some others, maybe inclue it in your CAB for everyone ?
