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

Thanks man ! that's what I'm looking for
Topic can be closed for now.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Market has stopped working on my Mini.. just doesn't download anything.. no errors or such.. but things just sit there saying downloading for hours.. but nothing happens..
anyone had this problem?
haven't done any tweaking or screwing around with the phone for weeks so I am not sure what could be up.
I've had it from time to time on my mini pro 2.1 (rooted) I'd put it down to busy servers or something. I just cancel and start again.
I am facing the same problem since 2.1 update. :-(

Hi everyone,
Maybe I have a solution (only rooted devices).
First of all, let us get what we need.
- In case you don't have root - z4root.apk (totally free, can be find on net, no need to go for it to the market )
- Root Explorer
- Updated market: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9229751&postcount=1 (unsigned version) (cheers to shokmah)
The next step is to totally disable all kind of task killers, and stuff like that.
Turn of the phone, switch it back on. Wait a minute as mini loads fully (all system-background apps).
Now try to download from the market. I know, I know... but please try. Why bother? Because maybe, just maybe, task killer or some app running, and killing sys-background apps are killing also one of the google sys app, so the market wont work properly.
Nothing? Ok, lets go ...
Go to "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Manage applications" (menu button) -> "Filter" -> "All applications"
Find market on the list and wipe app memory (the first option on the list). Also if you have an update installed - uninstall it.
After doing that step lets go to root explorer. And now...
- go to: /system/app
- tap the "Mount R/W" button on top (it will switch to "Mount R/O")
- find "Vending.apk" (SCREENSHOT)
- hold it down, and use "Move" option from the menu (SCREENSHOT)
- navigate to: /sdcard (just hit the back button few times)
- paste "Vending.apk"
- rename it to: "Vending_bak.apk" or something like that, to now thats the original one
- reboot your mini (switch off/on)
- after phone loads go to: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Manage applications"
- find "com.android.vending" (SCREENSHOT)
- wipe app memory (the second option on the list)
- uninstall app (the first option on the list)
Now is the part when we gonna need this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9229751&postcount=1 (unsigned version).
- put the downloaded apk on your sdcard
- start Root Explorer
- navigate to: /sdcard
- click on the new market app you just put there, and copy it (or move, whatever)
- navigate back, and to: /system/app
- tap "Mount R/W"
- paste it
- change name to "Vending.apk"
- tap 'n hold down the app // from the menu choose "Permissions" (SCREENSHOT)
- tap the options to get this: SCREENSHOT
- tap "OK"
- get out, and reboot your phone
Now just click on the market app from all applications, and see if you can download something (wait just a bit longer - the download may start in about 15-30 seconds after you see the prompt) . This works for my GF. She was suffering from the same issue as you guys, and that helps.
If it's not helping, there must be another error, that I'm not aware off... sorry in that case. Trying to help, and share.
Hope it helps, cheers

Do this anyway, the market is unusable without it.
Dont work! =(
Hi everyone!
I use Paranoid Android 4.6-BETA6 (Android 4.4.4) with GAPPS.
The system provided Contacts app is appearing under Settings -> Apps > All
However, it is invisible to any other program (Nova, Google Now Launcher, SD Maid...)
How can I unhide it? Any tip? The regular help I get when googling does not work (like "Open app drawer, hit menu then scroll down past hide applications and you will find show hidden applications").
I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I don't mind if I have to manually edit a file through the Linux command line.
HI All
Pls forgive if this is a duplicate. I did search in the forums here before asking
Q1) How do I delete "multiple" entries from Call History ?
RIght now, ColorOS 5 allows me to delete only 1 entry per time. I dont see any option to "select all"
Q2) How do I delete "multiple" entries from SMS ?
RIght now, ColorOS 5 allows me to delete only 1 entry per time. I dont see any option to "select all"
Thanks in advance.
Hey I think this should work
1) open phone app > edit > clear
2) open messages app, similar options
Hi
Recently inherited a Droid DNA that would like to use only for Audio & Video (No phone, Internet...)
Looked for a file manager app. Did not find any. Downloaded the man http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/htc-dna/HTC-DNA-UM.pdf and did quick search also nothing.
Is there a hidden file manager? If not appreciate suggestions how to install one.
Have access to a Windows 7 PC but wonder if 1st need to install a HTC Droid DNA driver?
Thanks
Ken
Update
Searched and found Verizon User Guide for phone http://cache.vzw.com/multimedia/mim/htc-dna/HTC-DNA-UM.pdf
Read entire guide, no mention of a File Manager.
Decided to check App Manager (which should have done 1st) and under All found listed Android File Manager v5.5.24..... (408 KB) and enabled.
Am wondering why it did not show on Home Screen, so rechecked User Guide.
Found p87 "Adding apps and other shortcuts on your Home screen" and followed instructions "1. Go to Settings, and then tap Personalize. 2. Tap Customize home screen. 3. Tap > Apps or Shortcuts. You can: ยง Swipe to browse through the apps or shortcuts"
Somehow All Apps never opened (only Apps already on Home screen).
Then tried "Tap to search for specific apps or shortcuts" when did this No Keyboard opened...
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Will add, since the phone had many apps disabled when I got it, am wondering if some necessary files are disabled?
Thanks
Ken
