Shortcuts

[cara]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create shortcuts on the XDA desktop?
I ran the XDA developers rom image 1.2 which had loads and was really handy.
I have now upgraded to PPC2003 and I now miss the shortcuts.
Any/All Help Please.

do you mean having shortcut apps on the today screen? if so the 1.2 version had the tdlaunch app installed which allows you to put in as many shortcut icons you want. for the wm2003; you may have to install the program manually since it's not present in the rom. i did this as well when i was still using the xda1; upgraded to wm2003 and installed tdlaunch manually.
2 cents worth; hope that helps.

Hi Robson,
I downloaded file you suggested, How do I install?
I have expanded it & dropped it on my SD card, I click on the tdlaunch, nothing happens??
Sorry,

Confirming you double tapped the tdlaunch.arm.cab file and it didn't
install?

Go to Start, Settings, Today, Items and see if its listed.
If so tap Options to set your options.

hi cara,

sorry for the late response, been out of the office.
anyway, the tdlaunch file you have might be already a cab file; in this case you don't have to unzip it. it's a relatively small file; you can drop it in your "my documents" folder in your ppc. from there use explorer to find the file, double click and it installs by itself. once done, you can go to the today settings, look for tdlaunch in the items and click options. from there you can start adding shortcuts to be placed on your today screen. how to create a shortcut? there are other ways but the one i use is simply copy the icon of the app i want and use.

just in case you're not familiar with cab files; they're executable files which appear to be zip files.

hope that helps.
