Where is the file for the " Touch Settings " ? You should start by attaching the settings file since this will be the main thread for Touch Settings
i posted detailed instructions as to how to get the "Touch Settings" program to work correctly on the Sprint Touch a few days ago. I'll re-post it over in the Vogue forum shortly

Please don't re-post this information, as I have now built a new version of the program that should work on the Sprint Touch without any special instructions required. It's been tested by Sprint users and seems to be working well so far.
You can download the beta (v1.29d) from www.fatattitude.com/software
For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
Best,

Works great on HTC Touch! WooHoo!
Very Nice job. Very Nice, indeed.
Personally, I wanted the photo to launch the HTC Camera Album.lnk the way you can scroll with your finger & zoom, etc.
So, I created the Photos button in MediaHub to be:
\WindowsHTCAlbum.exe
Params: -mode:camera -type:image
when i try and install the settings app i get a error messsage about
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or settings cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions"
how do i chang it so i can install and run this.. thanks

If you look at the post at the top of this page by Carlos, you'll see he says, "For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556."
He also gives these suggestions:
- If you're installing to Storage Card, try installing to the Device instead.
- If you still get the error, try resetting your device and installing again - this honestly worked for me!
- Check there is enough free storage space on your device.
- Try a manual installation (zip file coming to first post shortly)
There are many posts about this in other threads, so you should be able to find the info you need.
Carlos,
Any reason to upgrade to 1.29e if d is working well?
Secondly, if we do upgrade - do you have to uninstall first? or can you overwrite the program?
I don't seem to be able to see a changes history. I'll keep looking.
carlos said there is a new touch settings version comming out soon where it will help implement animations and custom icons will show when the cube turns. WOOT. and we wont have to install the updated Exe, it will be updated for us.,.]
THANKS CARLOS!

I have spent a good deal of time getting my Sprint Touch to display my local weather by using N2A's "patched" HtcHome.dll which points at a server that does support my local weather (unlike the Htc's accuweather server). Now I would like to use 'Touch Settings' to easily customize what apps get launched from my 3x2 app launcher and the media hub buttons, but I'm not sure if I dare do this yet since I haven't seen anyone explain how 'Touch Settings' accomplishes displaying local weather.
Can anyone tell me how it does this? My concern is that it may conflict with the patched home plugin I already have working.

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Touch Settings updates the registry keys at \HKLM\Software\HTC\HomePlug\Weather\Settings
I don't think this should change your server settings etc, and it certainly won't change which .dll file your weather is pulled from.
Why not do a registry backup of that key, try out Touch Settings and if there are any problems, just restore your registry? I think you'll be OK with it.
Hi all
I have a new beta of Touch Settings v2.0 that I'd really like a couple of people to test for me, in particular people with Vogues and Touch Duals, especially pp18 and that other kind person who volunteered.
I have posted it in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&page=20
....if you could keep feedback in that thread for now please? Feels like we have too many threads going at once otherwise and gets confusing!
Thanks,
Carlos

Works great...thanks Carlos!
One thing I noticed would be interested in finding out if other Sprint Touch users are seeing: after updating my "On Demand" app launcher's button to open a different app in the mediahub, the "Demand" in the text "On Demand" is now half cut-off. I assume this text (which I would like to change anyway) is stored in the registry somewhere and is not editable via Touch Settings yet. I can spend some time researching which settings to manually change in the registry, but if you are going to add this feature soon to the app, then I won't spend the time.
Thanks again, regardless...

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Glad it's working for you! If you run Touch Settings, you should be able to click in the grey box where it says "On Demand" and change the text to anything you like... ...let me know if it doesn't work for any reason.

Thanks Carlos...I can't believe I didn't think to at least try tapping in there! (Oh me of little faith...)
Next minor issue:
I made my bottom mediahub button say "Voice Recorder", and the word "Recorder" wrapped to a second line which is half-way cut off. I see that text wraps on the middle button as well, and although it doesn't get cut off it does look off-center vertically. I don't know if there is any way to adjust the text vertically with the magic that you do, so for now I'll try to come up with one word labels for the buttons to avoid the issue.
I also am curous what parameter to use to get the HtcAlbum.exe to launch the Camera Album to display just videos, like the 2nd-row 3rd button in does in the 9 button app launcher that comes on the 3rd tab of the HTC Home plugin. Does anybody know what I need to supply? I believe there is a mode: option, but when trying "mode:video" it still only comes up displaying pictures, and it does so in portrait view, not in landscape view like it does from the app launcher (which I prefer). My apologies if this has been discussed already...thanks!

Carlos - this is kind of a QA issue with the interface. Can I make the suggestion that you change the color of that box from gray to something like yellow? The first few times I opened the app I thought it was the typical "grayed out" box -- meaning I couldn't edit it. Whereas when I see a yellow box it grabs my attention and suggests I should be doing something with it...
I'm testing this nice app but I've got several problems after the first setup.
If i insert in the varius tab more than 2 today plugins like Pockerweaver and Pocket Digital Clock in one tab and Todayagenda in other one, every time i enter into the program setup for adding or modifing something and i confirm the modification, my device hang. I need to softreset.
Does someone else have the same problem?
I've got I tyTn (I've tested with both WM 6.0 and 6.1)

I've experienced that sometimes during set up...It happened somewhat randomly, but not so much to prevent me from doing what I needed to set up. Also, it doesn't do it now that everythig is set. You might try:
1. make sure all your plugins are not enabled in the normal Today set up before you try to add them into a tab or sub tab.
2. properly set the "Activate plugin on startup" and "Save memory" checkboxes. I generally have the first only checked on the "main" tab items and unchecked on all other tabs. Also, I generally have the "Save mem" unchecked for the main, and checked for the others.
I can't say this will stop it from happening, but i did expereicnce different results when I played with them some...

Thanks a lot for the answer...I've followed you tricks...but in my case the problem appears in a systematic way :-((((
I love UL but its still a tiny bit buggy. It just doesn't seem to like certain today plugins. I don't have a rhyme or reason for it, but sometimes it doesn't play nice.
PocketWeaver?
Could it be PocketWeaver? I've used UL for several months now with MANY today plugins. Currently I am using it with both PocketDigitalClock and TodayAgenda. Since PocketWeaver is the only one I haven't tried could that be what UL is not behaving well with?
At one time I had 5 plugins running in 3 tabs and UL setup has never hung for me.

How long did you wait before a soft reset. On my device I have to wait quite a bit for the screen to refresh after any configuration changes. I have 4 tabs with 7 plugins going right now and it does not hang.
I noticed I couldn't get the Audio Manager plugin to work properly in UL, wouldn't expand on selection.
I have phone weaver running without issue. Phone Alarm was giving me problems and very infrequently batterystatus

UPDATE: i think to have found the reson why...I've set all the ico dimension to a "correct" dimension, like for an ICO with maximum of 48px i've set 48px and not 52 or something more and for an ico of 68 i've set 68 not more or less...and all is working weel now. I can do ini refresh and modify the settings without any phone hang.
I figured I try out UltimateLaunch and I made a new tab and added BatteryStatus today plugin. It locked up, after soft reset it locks up within a few seconds. Any ideas how I can fix this without a hard reset? Thanks
Chris
EDIT: I was able to get to the Today screen and disable UltimateLaunch after about 20 tries and some caffeine! I disabled battery status in the today screen this time and turned of the minimize in Ultimate Launch. This fixed my issues. Thanks anyway.

Sorry a newbie question. How do I actually put in more than 1 today plugin into the home tab of UL? Does the software allow that? I would like the whole today screen to rotate n not only part of it.
Thanks in advance for the reply.

Adjust the height and add a 2nd plugin, just like you did with the 1st.

If you want to have more than one today plugin on the same tab (i.e., HTC Home with another plugin underneath it) be sure to "combine" the tab.
FYI, the perfect fixed height for UL, with the system tray still visible, is 245 pixels.
Thanks very much for all your help. I got it.
Maybe you Gurus can help me....
I wish to have MyFaves as a UL plug-in but it will not show up unless I have it checked in the Today screen items, then it shows up twice (once in UL & once on my Today screen). Can anyone help me? BTW I have a cooked ROM & am using DuPrade's MyFaves cab file.

...267 if you don't have the system tray.
I too experienced some lockup issues using Battery Status. I have since unloaded it and no lockups since. I'm thinking it's anything actively monitoring the system that UL doesn't like. Although i have RLToday installed and using it for my msgs notifications, but that is a registry read.
This drives my crazy: After rotating the screen with gyrator, gsen or manual-button, the HD switches back to manila or any other last used system window.
(There are some posts inside some big threads wich nobody replied, so I start a new one for this bug only...)
This is VERY annoying if you just want to turn the screen for reading or writing a mail...
i dont know if this is the right method to do it.. but
try adding all types of exceptions to the list in gsen window/class etc of your messaging window!
i came across the same problem and this seem to fix it!
try it and let me know if it worked!
what have you added? manila is already added...
sometimes the bug disappears...I added the exeptions, but have to wait some times to see if the effect lasts...But thanks!

im not talking about manilla.. open the window you wish you dont want to rotate.. then hit the home button on your phone. then go to gsen configuration and add all the windows/classes/process of that application!
that should stop the minimizing of that window when rotated.. hopefully!
if someone has a better solution let us know!
? in dont understand. I do want to rotate for example the mail window, so i added all the others to "dont rotate". correct?

yes, same effect + too buggy
It's top bar's icons related problem.
If you uninstall them you should not have that issue.
As described in another thread. This may be caused by colorful icons/battery icon in top bar.
ahhh ok I'll try. Thanks.
Do you know an other way to display some battery percentage?

If you look around, there is atleast two color top bars that do not have this problem. The problem originated from one of the first color top bars (which everyone liked and used), but now just look around and try them till u find one that u like and doesn't have the bug. (i'd give u mine but i can't find the cab for either one) good luck
Please let us know if you find one, and where to get it.
Thanks.
i now use aebuttons plus to show me battery-percentage at a btn-click.
Hi
Are there any options to show more appointments on the lockscreen than ONE?
One event is a little bit less for a good overview.
Thanks for help.
Hi!
I don't know much about WM 6.5 default lock screen. But I use S2U2 and you can configure it to show several (I guess it's up to 7) appointments in its lock screen.
i mean the HTC Sence Lockscreen:

They know what you mean, which is why they suggested slide2unlock. It's a replacement for the WINDOWS lock screen (not HTC), that does what you ask.
Just to check whether anyone tested the Slide2Unlock application on WM.5 or HD2?
I try to do a search in this forum but it seems that only the old version is available and nobody is developing that application anymore.

My friend told me that he saw some of the HTC Device using the WM6.5 have a better unlock screen than the HD2 or Leo which will show the Number of SMS and Missed Calls details on the lock screen instead of the numbering on the lock button.
Managed to find this program to replace the stock lock and unlock screen, you can display number of SMS, MMS, Emails or Missed Calls instead of the number beside the Lock Icon.

well, s2u2 is nice for XDA Herald, but not for the HD2.
The standard-lockscreen on the HD2 is much pretty nicer than the s2u2 for me.
are there no reg-hacks on xda-developers???
I totally agree with cms. The windows mobile lockscreen is excellent but it only shows one damn appointment! Surely this has got to be possible?

Yeah, I too like the standard lock screen, would be nice if it showed more appointments though.
Not keen on installing S2U2.
Would be amazing if someone modded the lock screen.
I installed S2U2 on my HD2 and agreed on most of the comments. The standard lock screen looks better but is too basic. The S2U2 has all the info I needed but I cannot get rid of the standard windows one so I ended up having 2 unlock screen now which is annoying. Does anyone know how to disable the standard one?

BSB Tweaks does that.
Or Settings>Security>block phone> untick block screen.
But in my opinion s2u2 is better, it shows the sms, mms, email, and tasks that original htc dont
regards
Just as a matter of interest, do you guys who say you don't like S2U2 know you can customise it by putting in your own wallpapers and/or gifs? You can even have the wallpaper change at regular intervals, giving you a fresh look whenever you wish.
So what you can do, if you wish, is to have a wallpaper that closely resembles the standard lock's wallpaper but sat in S2U2. You then get a better lock application with the look you are after.
WB
PS: If you knew all this but still like the standard item then ignore me.
I like the standard lock screen and would very much like more than 1 appt to be shown. I have tried S2u2 but i find it a bit bloated now, it is very capable and works but i just find it too big/bloated.
Is there a way we could tweak the MS lock screen?

Thanks. Interestingly I cannot find the block phone function under Security so I disable it through S2U2.
As it happens I was also fiddling with the latest version of S2U2 yesterday evening. Hadn't used it since I had my TP.
I'm running XannyTech's latest rom and when I use S2U2 as a replacement for the win6.5 lock, my Manila sliding tabs on the bottom slide behind the bottom bar where the softkeys are displayed on.
Anybody seen this before? I seem to remember that there was a little program to correct that but can't find it back.
Tried fiddling with S2U2' settings but disabling bottom and top bar did not help either.
if anybody knows how to correct that, would be great to hear.
ps: when uninstalling S2U2 and soft reset puts the manila sliding tabs back where they should be...

S2U2 is definitely the way to go if you want to configure the lockscreen to add more calendar entries. But I never got the hang of using the alert bubbles sitting in the bottom right corner of the screen as they were too hard to press with my thumb, one-handed.
I posted in the S2U2 thread about this but the suggestion there was to go back to the original WM lockscreen. Which I did.
I too prefer the standard Lock screen except would love it to show more Calendar items and perhaps Birthdays. The configure page is really limited but better this than someting too bloated for a lock screen.
I am interested if I could somehow remove all the stuf from "today" screen
I love when I see walpaper and nothing more, interested in whether they can do it somehow, and if you can then how?
I believe that much like them that look.
or perhaps to add a new screen or box and set as "today" and the original "today" screen get 2 place and a different name.
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE
Installing Cookie's Home Tab gives you the option to keep using Sense, with the possibility to simply drag away your quicklinks, displaying only the time and your wallpaper.
Or you can go to Settings => All Settings => Today
Uncheck HTC Sense and enable Windows Default
This will allow you to use the main Windows OS interface
