Skyfire websites shortcut on today screen - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I have AT&T tilt with WM 6.1 rom. I'm using skyfire everyday. One of a kind!
I'm watching this website www.kab.tv most of the time while i'm driving.
so, I have to fire up the skyfire by touching the icon on my tray in the bottom of the screen, then I have to wait 30 seconds for it to get to the homepage, then i'm touching the bookmarks and after few second I can choose my website.
It's kind of not safe to do that while I'm driving

}
Is there any way to have a website shortcut or some plugin on/for the today screen?
all I wish is to touch the icon on the today screen and have my website open without doing all of the above.
I know jB5 browser has the ability to have 3 shortcut on the today screen.
Thanks

you are right, thats not a safe method but watching videos while drivings is never safe
you need a plugin/launcher or a GUI with icons that can open a exe like "skyfire.exe" with a parameter like "http:\\www.yahoo.com". i think there are many apps out here.

Can you please name one? so I'll know what to look for. Thanks.

you may try ultimate launch,but it s not for free....
i set a tab with my bookmarks, you just need skyfire to be your default browser

Shortcuts on today screen

I've tried to search but can't find how to, or what prog is needed to show a bunch of program shortcuts on the today screen, like the XDA dev special edition rom 1.2for PPC, which has many icons in a block.
Also does anyone know if the XDa-dev program 'welcome.exe' will run on Xda2i? Or anythng similar which cuts out the stupid cut and paste thing etc on hard reset?

Screen rotate icon?

I've read in the Wiki and in the forums that there is suppose to be an icon on the main screen that allows the user to force the screen rotation. I've tried all the registry hacks I've seen, and I still can't get this icon to show up. I'd like to be able to quickly switch between portrait and landscape mode without sliding the cover. (e.g. While web surfing, some sites are viewed better when in landscape mode.)
Anyone got any suggestions for me?
p.s. I'm on the QTEK1.35.255.2 ROM.
As far as I remember Spb pocket plus is perfectly able to handle this.
Well yes...
Thanks, but I'm looking for a way to re-enable the icon that's suppose to be available in the ROM software already.
If anyone knows for sure if such an icon/feature is not in the QTEK ROM, please let me know!

X-Button On EnergyROM Rhodium?

Hi all,
I've a question..
I really like the EnergyROM_28002_RHODIUM_20.Nov.2009_StandardM2.5
I'ts fast and works great!
Link to rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553506
(you can see that the x-button is on the screens)
There is one thing I would like to have on my htc tp2, and thats the xbutton (top right)
screen of what I want:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When i looked on the screens of the ROM, there is a x-button, but I installed the rom and the time is showed top right in stead of the x-button
Anyone knows how to fix it? i tried to install the x-button.cab (v2) (other versions are doing nothing) and it diddnt work how it should be..
Thanks!
You have to use the 21869 rom for that. Your using 6.5.# which at this point in time does not allow for that clock to be removed yet (in the screen shot post at the bottom you will see a couple specific to the 28002 or whatever the 6.5.# is now)
As far as "fixing" it... I don't know.. personally I've just been mapping Task Manager to a button for quick access.
Yeah, it's not available in WM6.5.1/3, although it is still there if you go to system settings. Like Decer said though, you can map it to a button, or you can use Showcase from Marketplace.

Big Finger help required!

Hi, i've been the owner of a windows mobile phone for only a short while now, but one thing i noticed is the querty keyboard.
Now the point is, i have realy big fingers ( ) so i cannot hit all keys well enough.
Recently my girlfriends sister got a new phone which has a default(see the pic) numeric type keyboard but on touchscreen.
What i was wondering, is there anything like it for windows mobile?
I am running windows mobile 6.1 by the way
Seems im not yet allowed to use images or links in my posts, just remove the space between h & ttp

PS. i have tried searching the Software and Games Forum but keyboard and keypad are a little too common i think.

[Q] [Request] Internet Explorer Quick-selection

Hey everybody!
Is it possbile to have a Quick-selection for the Internet-Explorer or Browser we're using as we had it with WM 6.5?
For me that was a very good solution to have a quick access to the very favorite pages!
Yea if you add it as a favourite... Then long press the favourite in the list ... You can pin to start..
Edit scrap that... Just open up the webpage and press the menu dots at the bottom and it then allows you to pin to start
Sent from my HD7 T9292
I was thinking about something like that:
{
"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"
}
well you do get that..
just browse to the site you want and press the 3 dots at the bottom and pin to start..
it's exactly the same...
Ok... that works!
But I don't want to have everything on my Start-page....
Anyway I found a solution - not the best but it works!
There is a Opera App (Opera Link) available.
You need a account at Opera and than you can sync. favorites an quick selections...
Works for the moment but - now you need several tools to sync one mobile phone how stupid is that?
