hi, after using my Qtek s200, i was totally used to the WM 5.0 calendar. especially the week view. now with my Touch HD i stumbled against a few changes in the WM 6.1 calendar. my biggest problem with the 6.1 calendar is that i cannot drag the meetings in week view. in wm 5.0 i could drag the calendar items. the second problem is that when i tap a meeting, the calendar jumps directly to a useless almost blank screen with the option to primary delete or edit the meeting. In WM5.0, week view, when i tapped on a meeting i would get a little screen popup at the bottom with the meeting details which i could tap to directly go to the meeting editing screen. i couldn't find anyone else with the same findings on the forum. i think most of you just get rid of the standard calendar and install thumbcal . does anyone have a solution to get back to the old wm 5.0 calendar options?
I'm using Miri's wm6.5 V12 premium ROM and in the manila calendar there's the weather situation integrated when one goes to the "today" or one of the following days.
Does anyone know where the location for the weather is taken from? My home location in the world clock? Or does it somehow notice if I have in a calendar appointment some other city mentioned?
(well, I could play with this myself now too, wanted just to ask if anyone would have a quick answer ready...)
Secondly... I prefer the manila over the fuggly wm6.5 start menu - haven't tried titanium - but from what I've seen, it would actually e very nice to have on the manila home page the flip clock minimised and then having the calendar weather integrated on the home page - for the locations what I have in the calendar entries....
Does anyone know such a theme that would have this configured?! Even starting always with the minimised clock would be a start.
I wouldn't start hassling around with the manila editor just by me for starters...
Any ideas? I tried to browse the themes people have published here, but none of them had this "weather on the manila home page" idea.

Well, the first question I can then answer immediately myself. Apparently the weather is taken from the location I have in the world clock as "local".
Now the challenge would be to integrate this on the home page.

First of all I am using manila 2.5. When you slide to contacts a button appears saying "all people". When clicking on this button you abviously open the contacts manager, but it is the old (or windows) manager. The new contacts manager however is not only nicer, but gives you all the options back to send mails from a contact card even if you have installed the SMS patch. Because of the SMS patch you don't have this option any more in the old contacts manager.
My question now is how can I make sure that the "all people" button opens the new contacts manager?
Thanks in advance

What SMS patch are you using? I used this one here, and it did not affect my contacts list. Make sure you follow all 4 of the manual steps described in that post (not just step 3). If you tried something else, then uninstall it, soft-reset and try my link.

Hi Chris,
I am using this patch and BTW the cab file 1.2 does everything what the manual settings do, but you can't click in a contact card to send a SMS, mails work, not SMS. I have discuseed this already with the author and he knows that it doesn't work.
Anyway, this is not a solution for my qustion. The new manila 2.5.1920xx has a great new contacts manager and I want to use it everywhere I can, because it is not affected by zenyee's SMS patch, it looks nicer. But apaart from making a shortcut I don't see how I can use it as a softkey in in the home screen or in the contacts (people) tab.

I'm confused about what you wrote (the bold part I highlighted). What do you mean it is "not" affected? I thought you said it is affected - i.e. the "send message" part of a contact card doesn't work. Am I just totally misunderstanding you?
In any case, you can change the left softkey in the home tab to open the Manila contacts list instead of it bringing up the phone pad. All it is is registry entries that need to be changed. But, if you have the sms patch installed, I assume you'll continue to have the same problem.
Let me know if you want to change the left softkey in the home tab anyway. I made a cab for it so that I wouldn't have to manually make all the changes every time I hard reset my phone to factory defaults.
EDIT:
Here is the cab that will make those registry changes for you.
This is the ALL PEOPLE Reg Value, restore it using any Registry editor

Let me explain what I mean using the two screen shots: one from the classic contacts manager, the other from the HTC contacts manager. If you apply the SMS patch and open a contact and click on "send message", nothing will happen. If you use the other contacts manager, you can open a contact and click on send message and it will open the windows messaging service.
Look at the answer from zenkinz, see [Tweak/App] Disabling HTC Messaging in manila 2.5 (version 1.2 Updated on 29th Sep), page 17

yes the send message from the contact will not work. It's due to a service I've disabled, and if I don't disable it, you'll not be able to send the SMS from the winmo app, so it's a catch 22 situation. I'm trying to work on a fix for that, but it's going to be tough.

Now what I was looking for is to replace the contacts manager in the contacts (people) tab. If you click now on "all people" it will open the "old" windows contacts manager, I would like that the new and better (and nicer) contacts manager would be opened.
Thanks anyway for the suggestion, but I don't want to replace the left soft key on the home screen.

Okay, so you want to keep the sms patch installed, but you want the "all people" softkey in the contacts tab to open the new Manila contacts list? And how do you then plan to open the WM contact list so that you can use the "send message" option in a contact? Do you plan on having a home tab quick link to WM contacts? I guess that would work.
I don't know where the settings are to the left softkey of the contacts tab and I don't know if that particular option is available in the registry just like it is for the home tab softkeys. I also looked into adding a quick link in the home tab, but I can't get it to open the manila contacts (only the WM contacts).
Sooo.... I think I'm out of ideas. Maybe you'll consider changing the left softkey in the home tab as you mentioned at the end of your second post (that's why I mentioned it as an option in the first place ). I don't know what you currently have set for that, but if it is still the "phone" then you can always access that by using a hardware key on the HD. Or maybe you have something in that softkey that you can place in a quick link instead.
Hello, I was just wondering if there is a way to change where a widget links to in MaxSense Roms? I am using the Energy Rom with MaxSense. The sense messaging client is very glitchy, and I don't want to use it. So, is there any way to get the little text message notification widget on the home screen to open my phone's main messaging client? I believe it's that tmail.exe client.
I've attached an image with the widget I am refering to. When I click it, it opens the sense messaging tab, instead, I want it to open tmail.exe
Don't mind the glitchiness in the image, it's a screen shot I took before of how the messaging client was glitching my display, and didn't feel like taking a new screen shot.
I found the solution to this problem, I'll post it in case anyone else has this problem with the screen glitching when the sense messaging client is used in landscape.
On the main home screen (The middle of the 3 home screens, the default home screen) click the settings arrow in the bottom right corner, and select "Program Link Settings" then, scroll down to "Messaging" and when the list of programs pops up, select the program titled "Messaging" then, check the "Program Link Settings" tab again. Make sure the program link points to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet\Messaging.lnk which will make all SMS Widgets point to the default T-Mobile Rhodium messaging client, Tmail.exe
I'm back to Sense again, and I'm having trouble with this widget....
If I choose camera as a shortcut, the 'drawer' that opens from the shortcut shows the last few photos taken; that's all good
However, any other app I try doesn't give any options in the drawer. I've tried all the obvious apps like messages, calendar, browser etc... Also, I've made sure that I've got a new message, new appointment etc.... But the the drawer just has text saying 'Tap icon to open application'
Anyone got it working as it should, any tips?
I'm on Runnydroid 5.0 btw
cheers
anyone????
(I don't want to post in the ROM thread....)
