navigate seems to work if i goto google voice search and say navigate to.. xxx.
it appears to work but i cannot find a navigate icon to goto it directly and there does not seem to be an option from google maps.. just directions..
any ideas?
after i upgraded google maps i magically got the navigate icon.. hopefully this helps others.
it's not magically...if u read the changelog that icon is added in the latest update.
its magic in the sense that the functionality was there in the program as evident if you voice search "navigate to xxx" but there was no way to directly execute it with an icon or option that i could find.

I had WM6 (an unofficial version) on my 8525 somehow, and then got the official version from HTC. When I have the unofficial version there was a very useful Today Screen plugin that took up very little space - just enough room to type something for doing a search. Where can I get that plug-in? Does it ring a bell with anyone?
The Live search, you mean? If so, download the latest WindowsLive cab and you'll have it again mate.
[rummages around hard drive]
Et voila.
Live Search does not have the today plugin
Live Search does not have the Today Screen plugin, it is just a separate application.
Look for SearchToday or LiveSearch.

if you are talking about an internet search plugin there is one on triangle powers website
Today Screen Search Bar
I tried the one from the triangle powers website, it is huge and takes up too much space on the screen. There is another one I found that is configurable and takes up less room, called searchtoday - here is the link -
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/searchtoday.shtml
its part of windows live with messenger and all that.
There is an option for the search bar on today screen. Also, read the wiki for the registry hack to make it use google instead of msn.
Windows Live Confusion
- "Windows Live" Confusion Resolved:
1. The file you attached (windows live mobile, search for "Windows Live Mobile.zip") did contain the application that would allow you to have the very thin search bar on the today screen. It puts a "Windows Live" icon on your applications menu(/screen).
2. Microsoft Live Search ("LiveSearch.cab") is a FANTASTIC application. It puts a "Live Search" icon on your applications menu(/screen). It has these small but very powerful applications built into it: Categories, Map, Directios, Traffic, Movies, and Gas Prices. For example for "Gas Prices", that tells you where you can find gas the cheapest - near where you live!

it also has voice recognition. if the version you have doesnt, select update and get it. it's pretty sweet
How do I make it an option for the search bar to be on my today screen? I have windows live on my computer now but its only in my menu.

Quick question.
Can't the files as they are...... .cab be altered to have google by default so that those of us who are scared to death of the registry, can have it work as google?
Just the idea of changing the registry by hand makes me winded and dizzy.

Not a bad idea at all! Give this one a shot, i just changed it.
hi,
can someone please link me to the file/clear and simple instructions on how to do this?
i upgraded to the 6.1 rom months ago, and managed to change the IE key to launch IE. Since then, I had to reset my phone and can't remember how I did it
I tried searching, but i can't find it! I've tried searching "remap IE key" "Change internet explorer key from celetask", etc.
THANKS
I have the same issue. I'd like to switch the messages icon to the celetask, and the ie icon to ie.

i know it can be done! i don't remember if i downloaded a txt file off xda or if someone had instructions....
hopefully we'll get an answer soon!
Use total commander and browse to your windows folder and scroll down to Short_IE.Ink click file then edit and enter (19#"\windows\iexplore.exe") just as you see it here without the parenthesis then click file then click save and your good to go. hope this helps
If you dont have total commander I just figured out how you can do it with Resco Explorer - browse to windows folder, scroll down to Short_IE.Ink click Action scroll to open then to open with and scroll down to notepad click done it will open in notepad edit per above post save it and your good to go or you can bypass Resco Explorer all together and just use notepad and browse to file and edit. one of these should get you what you want.
Awesome! Thanks!
Sorry guys, first post, and really, really dumb but where is the " \ " key on the dash keyboard?? I am just blind?
nevermind, i figured out what i was doing. Self-proclaimed idiot right here folks.

I tried doing this exact thing... the T-zones key was easily mapped to IE, but the messages key now opens both Celetask AND Messaging. I double checked, and the link is written ok...
Anyone have any suggestions?
nevermind, misread the post
I have been searching and searching to no avail.
There has got to be some way to remap the "Launch Browser" button on the Manila "Browser" tab to launch the browser program of your choice?
I know I can select Skyfire as my default browser and it will launch with other programs... but I would like that same browser to launch when I push the big button on the Manila tab.
Seriously... there has got to be a way... anyone?
I found where someone else posted this in the HTC Diamond forums in responce to this same question about a year ago. I haven’t had the opportunity to try to confirm this as a work around:
All you need to do is to modify a file named “InternetPortal-en-US.xml” which is located in \Application Data\Manila. Use the freeware application Total Commander to navigate to this file and once you locate it press the pen/paper icon on the bottom of the page and that will open the file on the screen so you can edit it.
Once the file is open in Total Commander just add one of the following lines after the line <InternetPortal> which is towards the top:
Opera is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>\mobile\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
Internet Explorer is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
SkyFire is:
<BrowserExe>\Program Files\Skyfireskyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
Iris is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\iris browser\irisbrowser.exe</BrowserExe>
I installed Opera Mobile 9.5 beta to my storage card, so my new path is:
<BrowserExe>\storage card\program files\opera
*Note if you can't save your changes - make sure that the file isn't set on "read only" (click the hand holding the paper icon and uncheck the "read only" box. You may have to click twice to remove the setting)
As I would be looking at going to Skyfire, I’m guessing my path would look something like this: <BrowserExe>\Storage Card\Program Files\Skyfireskyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
Again, I haven’t tested this yet (I'm at work), but looking at the information posted in the .xml, it does appear to control/direct what happens when that Launch Browser button is pushed. Whether or not other files also have an effect, and what these changes would effect, are yet unconfirmed (as I saw no replies after that post).
There are however other commands in that .xml file that I'm not sure how they effect things and I would love a second opinion.
you can go into the registry and navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER and change the path in line number 1 to lead to whatever browser that you want to use and then change the name in line number 0...hope this helps!!

I know how to change the "default browser" that other programs (mail, Twitter etc) launch via hyperlink. That's easy.
Setting another browser as the default browser however DOES NOT CHANGE Opera from launching from the "Launch Browser" button on the Browser tab in Manila. I want this button and tab to launch a different browser as well.
Still haven't sat down and tried the method I posted above... but I'll report back if I can get it to work.
I've found this in a few places too... unfortunatly... nither the directory nor the file exist in this version. I even had it searching hidden & system files to no avail. Am looking for alternatives.
Check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548770
Also, here is item 4 from that thread. It appears you can have what ever browser you want to launch from the "Globe". But it does not effect the bookmarks you have set in the Manilla browser tab. I need it to launch these as well in my selected browser. BTW I have done the tweaks here, and can confirm they do work. I have 6 of my own bookmarks on the browser tab. And I got rid of the globe, didn't need it.
But I am still using Opera 9.5. I really want to be able to make this work with the book marks cause once Fenec is released I will be using that instead.
4) Remove the line <BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
This will now launch the lower left Bookmarks and lower right browser in Opera. (this is only possible, if you have already edit the registry in the previous tutorial)
Replacing the tag <BrowserExe>\Window\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe> with <BrowserExe>\Windows\Opera9.exe</BrowserExe> only launches the "Earth" tab in Opera but the tabs will not be launched at all, not even in IE. Don't know why this happens. You can even edit the Banner tag so that it doesn't go to the web2go website by modifying the NavigateUrl to "" or whatever you want

Unfortunately, as I had said in my other post, neither the file referenced nor the path are on my device. It has got to be buried elsewhere. I just need to know where.
threetima:
You don't mention what device, exactly you have (carrier variant). Or which ROm you have (stock or some cooked version like 6.5)

Are you referring to the "IternetPortal-en-US.xml” file?
I'm looking at it right now on my Verizon CDMA TP2.
As for the other tweak... glad to hear Im on the right track. Cant wait till Im home and can do some file editing on the laptop. I don't use the bookmarks on the Launch Browser page very often, so I feel that I'm very close to having a solution for this issue. Now I just need to arrange the free time to give it a shot.
Is there any way to get copy/paste functionality on a non-sense 2.2 rom. Its killing me that I dont have this, really the only thing missing from CM6 and holding me back from it as a daily driver.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Copy/paste should work just fine in CM6. Works for me, anyway.
Just long press on the text you want and you should get the menu with copy/cut options.
Not to hijack this thread, but I've asked elsewhere and there doesn't appear to be a solution but I figured I'd give the inquiry another go...
Is anyone aware of a method to use either a multitouch keyboard or perhaps a specific pinch/zoom gesture to copy/past/cut text on the fly?
I really miss being able to do so easily on my G1's physical keyboard...and highlighting specific text with the trackball.
maybe i am a roflcopter, but I cannot get a copy paste prompt to open after a longpress? Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong?

Where are you trying to copy text from?
I am able to long-press on any text field (SMS, Address Bar, etc.) and get a pop-up menu that includes: Select text, Select all, Cut, Copy, Paste, etc.
I am running CM6 RC1 on my EVO.

You need to menu -> select text.
Swype has a fairly easy-to-use (though not as easy as SenseUI) select text method. Just Swype from the Swype key (the one in the bottom-left corner with the i above the Swype logo) to the SYM key. This will open the third keyboard in Swype; the editing keyboard.
I am running MikZ 1.16 and have noticed that, when I press the hardware search button, "Search Everywhere" comes up instead of "Google Search." I was wondering if there's a way to change the default to "Google Search." I have looked everywhere for the solution, but have come up empty-handed. I greatly appreciate any suggestions
The only way I know to do this is to click the search buttom-menu-search settings-searchable items and uncheck everything but web. Of course the downside to this is that from now on you will only be able to search the web when using the hardware key, but thats only true if you are not in an app.
Thank you for the tip! I have already done that step. While it does alleviate some of what I don't like about "Search Anywhere," it's not the solution that I seek. HTC's search is clunky and visually annoying when it repeats what I type over and over below the search box. I should clarify that I want the hardware button to open the default "Google Search" app, completely bypassing "Search Anywhere."
