Is it possible?
Yes. With todayshrink you can get rid of the Softkeynames on todayscreen and get this space free for e.g. todayagenda.
And yes - on all other apps the softkeytext is shown again.
And yes - the softkeys on today work, when pressing the related hardwarebutton.
OK - you have to keep in mind what is located on the hardware/softkey button - haha
I like it....
Just what I needed, My agenda fits perfect now!
Away with the irritating Scrollbar Nice finding

They are
1) VJtoggletoday(alpha) {freeware}
2) LakeridgeSoftware wisbar advance 3 {shareware}
3) SBSH iLauncher 3.1 onwards(not sure about this, but, i guess it does) {shareware}
edit: hey! that is actually VJtoggletoday with the name changed

You're absolutely right on that part. Some of the freewares here actually beat the commertial ones avaliable
I tried without success several softwares to hide the softkeynames :
- Wisbar Advanced : the functionality "hide the softkeys" does not work
- Todayshrink and dcinobar : they hide the softkeys but finally the space is not free (it just hides)
- VJtoggletoday(alpha) works but it hides both taskbars !
Can someone help me to hide just the bottom taskbar ?
I have a HTC P3600 with WM5

look at my Screenshot..... the space is used.....
when you see little icons in bottombar than the "tray" like systray on PC is running. then the space cannot be used by todayshrink.....
Actually with Todayshrink the taskbar is hidden. But my systray disapears on screen... Is it normal?

you do not need to hide softkeys when you still use the systray.... that makes no sense....
so it should hide the systray....
I am sorry not to be clear.
Normally the systray is located just over the bottom taskbar, right?
When i used Todayshrink, the taskbar was hidden but also the systray !! I thought that the systray would be at the same place than the bottom taskbar!
Here is a screenshot.
The taskbar has disappeared but there should be my systray at bottom

Why??
The systray will not appear when using todayshrink.....
It is for getting more space on today...
Ok, so there is no possibility to have more space by hiding the taskbar but also keeping the systray?

if you activate in Battery Status the trayIcons you have the sysbar back

I activated the trayIcons in batterystatus but it didn't work
Maybe because I'm in WM5?
IS there a small piece of software to remap the softkeys on the home screen in TF3D? There are several useful functions that could be placed on the home screen other than the default Phone/Programs. I've tried using the Remap Softkeys for WM5 but obviously that doesn't work with TF3D, and I don't want to disable Touchflow just to get altered keys.

try this
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
Thanks very much - worked a treat!
I'm trying to remap my softkeys on the People page. I want FunContact as my primary contact manager launchable from that page... cant seem to get it done with the technique used here... I had to create a new key for it but still nothing after soft reset
any help would be GREAT! Thanks

i second that!!!
default contact is hard to use and scrolling is suck!
Try this link, it has more info about remapping soft keys in Manilla (TF3D) and also (TF2D)

or the whole thread which has other good info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480475
Hope this works for you!
so this is for the right soft key:
TouchFlo 3D right softkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
what do i put in the open "open" part so i can have my contacts open? and for the text to i just set it as "Contacts"?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its Windows/AppButtons/Contacts.lnk
I can't get it to work
Okay ... I've read all the post that I could find about changing the softkeys and nothing seems to work. I've changed the registry settings as indicated but still no go. I have the TMO TP2. I only want to change the home page so don't need anything fancy. Been updating the registry settings (HomeLSKText, HomeLSKpath, HomeLSKArguments) and can't get it to actually do anything (the text changes). What I want todo is to jump to the Contacts HTC page (really anything other than the Camera - why TMO did you make it Camera?). Any help would be great. Thanks.
Hi,
you can open a tab with this:
\windows\manila.exe --switchtopage home.page
Instead of "home.page" you can use:
messaging.page
weather.page
people.page
email.page
album.page
music.page
internet.page
settings.page
programs.page
You can also use the shortcut for:
Manila softkeys:
31. Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
Example:
HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "E-Mail"
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage email.page"

Thanx for your tutorial,
did you find the name for call log?
I want to map it to Homescreen Call Log, since the built in one looks pretty ugly.
try:
calllog.page
or
callhistory.page
Which means... Anybody could create a today plugin, replacing the bottom scroll bar bar something else but keeping the same pages ?

Hi,
This is almost what I was looking for.
I would like to have a similar solution to add a shortcut to a subpage of Manila tab.
Something like
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage settings.page.sound"
Well, the above does not work.
I would like to add a shortcut on home screen to the "sound" subpage in the Settings tab, so I can quickly switch profiles: normal, silent, vibrate.
Is this at all possible?
Thanks.
btw: I'm sorry! I figured it out a few weeks ago, but forgot to tell you this

No, submenus can't opened with "switchtopage", but maybe someone figure out another argument for manila.exe
"switchtosubpage" or something like that doesn't exist.

Thanx for all your great work! without you guys we would be lost...
I have a little question about pages in manila...
I was thinking that the 'Action screen' in the HTC Raphael might be somewhere in the manila files.. cus the icons are there..??
Just a wild thought
You haven't accidently stumbled upon this??
Oh, this would be very, very cool
This may be perfect for remapping TF3D homescreen softkeys.
How about creating standalone shortcuts? It doesn't work. Anyone tried?
anyone?.............
I have a dutch ROM (1.93) and for me this doesn't do anything.
If I do this:
HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "Music"
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage music.page"
And then click on that button, it doesn't do anything.
Anyone knows maybe for ROMS in other languages than english that the command might be different ?
Can some of this be used to add new tabs to Manila?

Or to change the name and functionality of a given tab?
I tried several Manila ROMS (NATF v3 and v4, Hyperdragon III) but couldn't get used to not being able to customize the screens as I like (say like using SPB Shell and customizing the contents of any given tab).
Further, I have several apps that use a Today plugin (eg Newsbreak, PocketWeather), and I'd like to find a way to incorporate these into the Home page, or to create a Today Plugins tab, or just create a separate tab for each.
The weather tab, for example, is not practical for me, as I live in one city, work in another city, and constantly follow the weather in cities where I (or my wife) are about to travel. So having a single city weather page is of no use to me, and this is why I need to have the PocketWeather tab available.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Thank you.
Any way to make a shortcut to a tab that will also bring up that tab on the screen? I made a shortcut to the Programs tab that I assigned to a button, but if I press the button while not in Manila it goes to the Programs tab in the background, without actually showing the tab.
Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind, I just wrote a 2-line mortscript:
Run( "\windows\manila.exe", "--switchtopage programs.page")
show("Start")

Has anyone been able to add a tab to tf2d to show a list of upcoming appointments from the calendar. All I have been able to find is extra tabs for tf3d. If not does anyone know how to or how I could do it. I see that I a second weather tab can be added.
Sorry for the typo
is it even possible to add extra tabs to tf2d

Thanks for the suggestion. I am using "secondtoday" with the PTT button mapped to it. I have SPB diary set to the second today and have it maximized with the calendar tab so it will show about the next 5 appointments and I can scroll a month at a time. Might actually be more convenient the adding a new tab
I recently bought TD2, and is by no means a big fan of the new startmenu. How is it possible to replace it with the "old" one ?
I've been searching the forum, since I've heard of a little program that can fix this issue, but without luck .
Thanks in advance !
The new start menu comes as part of Touch Flo 3D.....If you distable TF3D in settings\personal\today\items, you get the old menu system.
I'm amazed that anyone would prefer the old WM one.

There are two great lacks in the new menu :
1. too few items available in the 'icons' start page, and no kind of sub-folders or program groups.
then
2. if you go in the full list because your program is not in the icons page, the list can be long and fastidious.
Hope it will be corrected in next version and be available for D2, or windows 6.5 titanium/CHome will replace TF3D
Try TF3D2 Tweak in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502102
Thank you all, for your replies .
If you just want to change the start menu but leave Manila turned on, just change the following in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
After a restart you have the old start menu
Is it possiple too keep both ways?
I mean when you press the start menu on the top of the screen to have the old start menu and when you press the windows hard key to have the new one?
I think this would be more usefull for many people who like the new menu but want some features of the old one!

Ah right, I see. I've not hit that issue, I guess I just don't use that many programs!
One question: how can I enable the old style like in WM 6.1.
I use 6.5 without Manilla (UDK R1.)
It's annoying to select start/settings/connections if you want to set more the 1 thing...bluetooth, WIFI etc....also for programs.
Or how can I customize the start menu in 6.5 ...order, content...
another way
This would keep the new start menu when you tap on "start" and make pop-up a replica similar whith the old one when you tap on windows or whatever icon you have on the upper left corner of the screen near the text "start". I didn't make this just downloaded from somewhere.

Doesn't seem to work on my Diamond2. (Does nothing)
I was wondering if someone could do a buttom like the settings buttom in the new start menu that could open the old programs menu.
I think this shouldn't be so difficult, since there is a similar buttom for the settings.
Welcome here Liviu. (Bine ai venit pe aici, marfa site-u pt HTC-uri)
I try it Quick Menu, it's like Windows PC START menu and it's hard to use with a finger
I speak about the old menu from WM6.1 not Pc windows...
Ksara it's works on TD2 I try it and work well but it's not what I want.
You are right Pauln, it's not finger friendly but hei! that stylus is there so ...
Anyway for me it does the job so here is a pic for those who want an alternative. The icon "Quick menu" you will find also in Programs.

I'm one of them. I disabled touchflo and installed spb pocket plus: I've got everything in sight, with no need to flip over strange desktops and icons!
I found these registry entries somewhere else and i thing these are the key to make a shortcut in manila programs folder to the old Programs folder Just like there is for the settings folder (number 3)
"Remove the locked program tab items
Code:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/0/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/1/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/2/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/3/IsReadOnly
Change this value from 1 to a 0 and you can then edit their shortcuts."
Please someone who is familiar with this , create a shortcut.
