Home screen direct link (TaskMgr) unremovable - HD2 General

My current problem is that the TaskMgr.exe disappears from the start menu, after a soft reset. Is there a reason/fix for this?
The other problem caused by this is, that my shortcut in the home screen becomes a dead link and is not removable. If I go to "menu->remove direct link->mark the task manager shortcut->finish" it simply stays there.
Even if I copy the taskmgr.exe to the start menu and the link is working again it wont be removable.
Is this a known issue and what can I do? Any help is much appreciated.
The whole thing looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks in advance,
eivissa

Try
Go to:
Registry Key:
HKLM/Software/Htc/Manila/Home/11
(If I counted correctly, this is the 12th item, and numbering begins with 0)
There should be some Values specifying the IconPath
and ProgramPath
They usually point to some *.lnk file
See if this file exists,
and if the Lnk file exists, see if the program it points to also exists.
(I dont remember how to check where a .LNK file point too,
maybe Edit would do)
Edit:
Oh, Yes, see if the Value
IsSet (under the same key) is set to 1.

Thanks very much,
editing programm path and link path did the trick that now the Icon is back there and the link works even after a soft reset.
Though I still cant delete the link from the home screeen. There is no error message or anything. The Icon just stays there after clicking "Finish" to delete it.
EDIT: IsSet is set to 1.

Well . . .

I had a problem deleting element after playing a bit with the registry, and leaving an item all set, but with "IsSet" set to 0.
In that case - everything showed, but I could not delete the element.
(There is another value there - I think "IsExist"
maybe that has something to do with it as well,
or maybe - just play a bit with the other values in theis key, and compare them to values in keys (like 0,1,2 . . .), and see if something changed
Or -
As some say
If it works (for your needs) - dont touch it)

Remove Ugly Cingular Logo from Phone Dialer

I've been searching the forums for this, and can only find info on T-Mobile, and changing the skin to the WM5...
when making a call or using the dialer, or in a call, that ugly off-color CINGULAR logo is in the upper left. Any way to remove this, or at least change it?
thanks
create a replacement dialer logo .gif that is
size: 105px x 23px
name: "Carrierlogo"
place in location: /windows folder and replace existing .gif file named "Carrierlogo"
after replacing: soft reset
you may want to save a copy of the oem "Carrierlogo" file... or not
i created a blank/transparent .gif because i don't need it to say anything but any image will appear so have fun
Dude..I can't copy it..because the image is in use...
I have attached the file I use. (I take NO credit for making the file, as I found it elsewhere).
Use the instructions above and copy it over the existing one in the \windows folder ... then soft reset.
larsjeparsje - make sure you don't have the phone dial pad window open.

I don't see the fuss about the rotate icon. You could write your own in 5 minutes or less.

Doesn't work for me
I tried this screen rotate fix on my TyTn (HTC Rom 1.35), and it doesn't work.
I looked at this, but quite frankly there are so many apps that include this as an included feature...
It does't work on my TyTN (ROM 2.11.258.1) ... Neiter the xelashiu's solution, nor vijay555's registry keys...
Is there a solution?!

Mail-Design -> SMS/Messging (Manila2D)

Good evening,
I cant write english in a good way, so have fun at reading^^
This is my solution to add the Envelope/letter do the messaging-tab.
As you can see the background of the letter in the messaging tab AND in the mail-tab were changed.
SCREENDUMPS:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Included in "Files1" (at Downloads)
Cheated solution for Bug2 (Long messages will be displayed over the envelope) - Included in "Files2" (at Downloads)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Go with an explorer to the windows directory and copy the files
hh_email_background.png
hh_email_envelope_down.png
hh_email_envelope_up.png
HTCHomeSettings.xml
to your storage card or anywhere else - THIS will be your backup, IF it doesnt work.
2. Copy the new files on your device. On the device you should copy all of the files in the windows-directory. You will be asked to overwrite the files - If you done task 1 its ok.
3. Restart Manila/Touchflo2D:
Settings -> Home -> System;
Uncheck "TouchFlo" -> Click OK;
Open the Home-Settings a second time -> System
Check "TouchFlo" -> Click OK -> Close Settings
4. There is no 4th Task, youre finished =)
BUGS:
1. If you scroll between your sms the envelope (not the letter) will slide too.
(Its the cause of replacing the line with the letter in the background)
2. Long messages will be displayed over the envelope (UNLIKE the mail-tab; the mails will be displayed correctly there)
(I made a cheated solution, with a white envelope - you can see it in the second picture)
Please notify that the home tab etc. will be changed too!
DOWNLOAD:
(I also uploaded my own created background/wallpaper) (Please dont host the files anywhre else and let the advertisement on uploaded.to opened 10 seconds):
It is VERY impossible to backup your files! (INSTRUCTIONS - Task1)
Files1 (with normal envelope + original files): http://ul.to/uh1way
Files2 (with white envelope + original files): http://ul.to/6t7fyt
Wallpaper: http://ul.to/qa18b1
PS: If you change things, like bugs etc. please post it here
Greetings
Hoamer
will this work in htc home, not manila?
Hm, i dont know. If htc-home is also based on xml-file it is possible - you can try it, but it is VERY impossible to backup your files - then you can try anything^^
If it works please post it here
EDIT: I searched for HTC-Home; no, this will not work with HTC-Home

You only can't change Buttons (Yes/No).
Check this my custom theme on attachment.
where should i copy this files, in win root?
any pics?
It was Kitchmen package, but you can install it manually.
Extract it, copy files in \amarullz_GreenBlack\files\*.* into \Windows
And change your themes in Start Menu->Settings->Today
i am also using visual kitchen, will put it in...
EDIT: well only thing i got new is scroll bar, and green selecting, can i somehow keep scrollbar and have blue selecting?
also how to get vista/win7 wait animation?

You can edit the Images. There is "listViewSelector.ManilaGreen.png" and other files ( I think you know the image will show in which area just by read the filename ). For system color, you should edit the ClassicGreen.tsk file with WinCECab Manager.
For your message box design, you can easily edit the "msgboxBorder.ManilaGreen.png", and "msgboxTitle.ManilaGreen.png".
For vista wait animation, you need to edit the dll file with reshack, try to find it, it was available in some thread..
sorry for my english
i will try "msgboxBorder.ManilaGreen.png", and "msgboxTitle.ManilaGreen.png".
but for dll, i will need to request....

[Q] Delete data on SQLite

If this is the wrong section, kindly move it. Thanks!
I'm developing an android application wherein I can add, view and delete data from SQLite. I'm already done with add and view and my problem is the deleting, I want it to be like this:
I
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
so when I go to View all, a "DELETE" button will be shown beside the data, and clicking the button will remove the data from Android's SQLite

So is the question " what is the command to remove information from the databases " ?
Assuming that you have already tried and met resistance... what is stopping you from have a "delete" button that actually ADDS a null value to to the key,name, and setting ?
I've never made it into a button like you are saying, but having null values replace the undesired has always worked well for me,
Hope that is helpful.

Your image doesn't show up so I assume its a list view where you will view all entries. In this case in the list view xml put a delete button, and in the activity you have to implement a custom adapter that listens for the button click (Google "custom simplecursoradapter"), and to delete the file it would be dbHelper.delete(Table, id, null) instead of dbHelper.add or dbHelper.query.
hope this helps
