Scrollbar in Start menu? - S740, S743 General

I've been playing with a S710 with S740 ROM, and noticed it had a scrollbar in the start menu; so when you press 'down', the selected icon moves to a new row of icons instead of popping back up to the first row, like on my S740.
Been googlin', and found 2 programs (SmartTweaker and Mobitweak, both shareware) that claim they can do it, but I was thinking more of a reg hack.
Anyone with a clue?
Edit: Found it.. just when you're getting desperate you find the right stuff:
Create a DWORD using a regeditor in: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell
with name and value: RockerSupport = 1

so you have now a scroll bar instead the button more...??
am i wright?

I tried this, but unfortunately it doesn't work on my S740.

Have you tried resetting your phone after you modified (and saved) it in the register?
And it will NOT make you lose the softkey 'More'; it just enables the extra feature of scrolling down. Tap down a couple of times and all the icons shift along.

Well, I just tried it again (removed the key and put it in again) and now it works.
So I must have done something wrong before...
Anyway, thank you for the tip.

Thnks.. It's working nice over here.
Only is standing down under in the screen More.. But it's fine to me
Thnks

Thank you! It works great for me...
Instead of "regeditor" I use "Total Commander" file mannager to edit the registry followed for a soft reset...
Thank you a lot again...!

How to show both Date & Clock in the taskbar?
Tried this?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
Change the display of the clock in the taskbar
The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.
To show nothing:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the clock:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the date:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date and the clock:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: If you switch to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible -through- the Analog clock
Note 2: Setting the clock to show 'nothing' will still keep the reserved space, showing the taskbar background, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.
Note 3: Your date may get obscured by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right. You can fix this my adding spaces at the end of your 'Short Date Format'. See also the tweak on 'Change the Short Date Format'

( requires a soft reset, I believe )
Thanks ZeBoxx. It works!!!
i donno :? but it seems tht the registry keys i create and edits i make are gone wen i softreset.. tried with resco registry editor and phm regedit.. y does my atom's registry dont save the changes i make?
Make sure you either
- wait a little while after changing the registry
or
- use the shutdown feature; press and hold the on/off button, it'll pop up a question asking if you really want to shut down (on Wizard anyway - I suspect it's a WM5 feature, so it should be on Atom as well).
Doesn't work on the Atom. It will suspend when you release the button no matter if you've held it down for one or 20 seconds.
yeah, mastiff.. the shutdown feature doesnt work on the atom.. however, waiting a little while has helped me.. all the registry tweaks are workin alrite for me.. i stay for abt a min or two and then restart my atom.. how long shud i wait actually? if its just a couple of secs, then am wastin a lot of my time.. :lol:
I usually just wait 20 seconds - should be enough.. ymmv
ok what are the steps in PHM Reg edit, i have done this so many times and yes it is saved but nothing changes that damn battery bar to a clock..
do i highlight shell and add new Dword or do i add a new key then dword what?.... tried both them to no avail...
Sooz - are you sure you have an AKU2.2 ROM installed?
If you don't, then there's no way to replace the battery icon with the default clock on the Today screen. For application screens, you can go to the clock configuration, More tab, and check the checkbox "show clock in all programs" or somesuch.
so close and yet so far away... ok the registry entry does display the time and date on any atom, however the registry entry to get rid of the battery indicator doesnt work, therefore im left with both the battery indicator and the time and date in the same place... alas will remove for now till someone works out how to ditch that battery indicator.

Hi,
May somebody add the instruction including screen shots?
Step by step how to remove the battery icon from the taskbar?
I tried so many times to add as suggest by “mazam”, but nothing happen.
I am using EdReg to change the registry
Maybe I do something wrong, in the place:
HKLM/software/microsoft/shell
step 1.
I click insert
-here I see 4 options (String, Binary, MultiString, DWord)
-I choose Dword
step 2. (And here is my question)
Here I have 2 places to fulfills
Key: what to write here
Value: what to write here
what a difference a few hrs makes.... ok today its playing ball, registry entries all workin including Clock instead of Battery!!... ahh life is good again!
to check AKU version go to system/about it should read 2.2.0 or higher in build if so the the reg entry above will work, if not try the entries on wiki and or wait for Microsoft to fix, they say they are going to!
Cheers
Footnote for Registry Entries......
for me what works to save the entries is to wait for 30 secs or more, then soft reset while still in Registry Editor PHM, if i exit the program then soft reset it doesnt hold the changes no matter how long i wait.

Changing app on right softkey

How can I change the program that shows on the right softkey from contacts to "Myapp"
Cheers

Dont think that this is possible?
Why do you not create a "shortcut key" to start myapp?

I know it will not work because they have different registry keys. PocketPCs use TODAY and Smartphones use HOME registry location. Here is the tweak again for people who don't want to read the PPCSG thread.
--
Using a registry editor:
Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Home
Create New Key: Keys
Create New Key: 113
Edit:Name: (Default) String: Name of Softkey
Create New String Value: Name: Open String: \Application Path\Application.lnk or exe
Soft-reset your device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
--
After you soft-reset you will notice that the right softkey's label still hasn't changed [but it will launch your app or link] you need to refresh it. The easiest way is to trigger an app to change it, what I do is go into Messaging choose any message and mark it as unread, this makes the OS change the right softkey when you return Home just press the right softkey again and the next time you go back to Home the label will change.
I'll not abuse my Smartphone this way
BTW: I recommend PHM RegEdit with is available for Pocket PC and Smartphone. I still don't know why changing Contacts to myapp makes sense. To you use another contacts app?
Good luck!
I don't use another PIM for contacts, but I do use Papyrus to take care of my Calendar/Tasks. I have the right soft key mapped to Papyrus to easily access my Calendar/Tasks from the homescreen.
I wouldn't call this abuse though as some OEMs change the right soft key to their liking... when I had an MPx220 the right softkey was mapped to the camera which was odd since it had a standalone camera button, so I found this hack and changed it.

Default Windows Mobile battery icon

Hi there,
The latest devices like the Touch and TyTN II are showing a Windows Mobile default battery icon on the top toolbar (next to the clock, speaker, etc.).
It's a simple battery with 4 "power bars" (and charging indication) to show the battery status.
Is there a way to have this icon in Windows Mobile 6 on the HTC X7500 as well? On other devices which have it, it looks like it's a standard Windows Mobile 6 feature (correct me if it isn't) so shouldn't it be some sort of registry value to set?
See the attachment.
Thanks!!
Try this :
Go to your registry editor and navigate to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock and change to value to 1, exit using the apps exit function and not your X button, power off for 15 secs and power on to allow the registry edit to flush to the ROM and soft reset.
If the ShowTitleBarClock id not there then just add a new DWORD Value and key in ShowTitleBarClock as teh DWORD Value and input "1" in DWORD Data.

The ShowTitleBarClock DWORD is there already and set to 1.
This is for the clock right? I was not talking about the clock, but about the battery icon, as shown in my attached image.
Hi,
Ok ok, I should hit search a little more. I found the solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1250593&postcount=56
Still a pity since the battery only shows when you disable the clock....
that doesn't work for me
I add the new DWORD and it just disappears after it is rebooted. And it changed my clock from showing the time to the date??? all else is the same. I don't get it.
This is how it reads:
The TBOpt was already there
ShowTitleBarClock 1
TBOpt 2

Changing function of volume buttons?

I've tried with out much success to change the function of the volume controls when held down so that they scroll up and down instead of launching voice dial or recorder.
It's probably glaringly obvious but i was just wondering if there is a reg entry i can change as if you go to settings\buttons and change to scroll up and down respectively it only shifts once?
Tried smartskeys but it didn't do anything.
Cheers in advance
excellente question!!
yes please I would love to know this as well. I read about smartskey but I don't think it will work.
I've tried a few apps now, that people have used on other devices, without any luck. They either don't do anything or stop the buttons from doing the volume.
I think the reg is under HKCU somewhere but haven't had a good look yet.
I want to find the reg entries that pertain to the up down for the dpad and then find the reg entries for the volume buttons when held down and change them for the ones for the dpad.
Problem is i don't know what they are called. Yet
I've found the reg entries so now i just need to work out where to point them to:-
HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SHELL\KEYS
40C1 = button 1 which is camera
40C2 = button 2 which is voice speed dial
40C3 = button 3 which is voice recorder
Anyone know where the reg entries for the dpad are?
Never mind.

So do i but for now i'm a bit stuck without knowing the reg entries for the dpad up down.
Strange
I thought this was as simple as changing the settings > buttons - setting from Voice Recorder to tbd and the Voice Dialer to tbd, did that but it still only changes the bloody volume.
Ideally i like an easy access, OK and Start Menu key.

Change soft key under each touchflo 3d tab

Is there any app or way to change the soft keys for each touchflo 3d tab? Like under the people tab thare is the "all people" on the left and the "menu" on the right. I would like to change the all people from going to contacts to going to pocketcm. Is there any way of going about this? Changing some other soft keys would be nice as well.
Use SoftKey manager
Thanks, already tried that one, only lets you change the right and left soft keys on the home tflo3d tab. I want to change the soft keys on any of the other tflo3d tabs like people, or messages, and programs. Any one else with any ideas?
Did you mean TAB-s?

No they used the word "each" before the word tab so they phrased the question correctly. "each tabs" or "each tab?"
But yeah, I am looking for the same thing. I will post it here if I find it. If not... Off to the reg we go!
It has to be doable because people mod the reply button all the time. If you can mod that then you shoudl be able to mod anything, right? Possibly a hex editor for exe files? I hope so bad its not hard coded but you never know.....
soft buttons on tf3d home
I'm also looking for something like this. With touchflo3d turn off, the home screen left soft button will be "calendar" by default, but when you have a reminder/notification, it switches to "notification" "reminder", etc.
when touchflo3d is enabled on the home screen, this button becomes controled by tf3d, and while you can customize the button, it no longer becomes context sensitive - I find we have to hit the icons at the top bar (live msg, reminder, etc). these little icons are a bit hard to hit. ANyone know if the tf3d homepage soft button can become a 'notification' popup activation button?
dwight.
I think that the stock rom actually has this...so I know that it's possible. That also bothers me.

Does this let me set one of my softkeys on my home screen to "notification"
Just a quick update
I switched to a new rom last night from 'aruppenthal', 'RRE HTC Fuze ROM Ver 4.5 Special Edition" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467592), and it seems that this has a different behavior from my previous rom "PROven_ROM_WWE".
in any case, my tf3d home page now has "calender" and "contacts" as the lower soft buttons, and my reminders are coming up and seem to be changing the lowerleft softkey to "dismiss". I've yet to see "notification", but i'll keep an eye on it for a few days and let you guys know about the behavior.
one thing I left enabled this time, was the "system status" window when you hit the topbar icons - this has a shortcut to a mail icon when there's a notification for that, and when hitting it, it shows the respective notification popup at the lower part of the window. That might be a 'workaround' for those who preferred the old notifications but want to keep tf3d.
dwight.

This doesn't solve this question - this solution is already mentioned. Please read the previous posts before posting.
Any solutions to this questions yet? Been searching both the forum and google without any luck....
Well, the solution is actually SSMaHo! Just do a search for it. Works like a charm and lets you remap pretty much anything
I also have same issue with X1.
Att the Settings Tab, I really want to change left soft-ket to launch the System Setting but default is CommManager.
I already searched the forum and google with no luck. So I tried to looking into source code and just found something.
It is correct or not, however "settings.mode9" file have embedded LUA codes and these codes contains some soft-key assignment codes.
BTW, codes have not only one assignment code, it contains several assignments and TF3D can apply each soft-key by situation(or any registry? macro? configuration?) I think.
ok, so i want to remap the default today screen contacts softkey to bring up the touchflo 3d 2 contacts but cant find how to link to it. any takers?

this totally solves the problem in manila, touchflo3d 3.0
none of the other solution worked for me
you need manila editing
Hi guys, i was pm Captain_Throwback about this and here his answer.
You can only remap the soft keys in the Manila Home tab. Changing the others requires Manila editing, and may not even be possible. Here are the registry keys for the Manila Home tab soft keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKText"=""
"HomeLSKPath"=""
"HomeLSKArguments"=""
"HomeRSKText"=""
"HomeRSKPath"=""
"HomeRSKArguments"=""
Only the "Text" and "Path" keys need to be used - the "Arguments" key can be left blank.

I made an application on VB.net that can assign Home Softkeys to any program in Start Menu, also you can assign it to any other touchflo's tab...
This application is tested on Raphael device with Touchflo 3D 2.0
thanks....
cool.... this worked very easily.... I don't want to install another Cab file just to change the button name.....
thanks again.

Can't believe your post has been sat here all this time, the amount of people that should know about it is ridiculous!!! Made changing the soft key assignments in touchflow 2 (3d) real easy.
So glad to have the 'phone' LSK to TomTom and the 'camera' RSK to PSShutXP!
Very greatful!
