A few windows 6.1. mods

[theriel]

Hello!
Do you happen to know how to:
a)put the gsm indicator on the today screen (VERY preferably on the HTC today, e.g. below the alarm clock on the right side or horizontally near the operator name - not to waste space)

b)block GPRS: just to tell the phone to never ever try to connect to it. At the moment e.g. while pressing the weather button, it starts connecting - quite annoying, especially if pressed by chance

c)create folders in programs menu (as e.g. the "games" folder) and then copy shortcuts into it

d)in the menu start - change from 7 shortcuts and 5 recent programs into 12 shortcuts and 0 recently opened programs.

Thank you for help!
Best regards,
Theriel

c) Go under "\Windows" direcotry and then under "\Start menu"
that's the direcotry tree

I meant programs menu - the one you get into by clicking start->programs. ;).

Any ideas about this as well as the other questions ?

b) there are several ways to kill all data connections. you can use something like the Advanced Config Tool and disable the data connection setup on the phone. Or you can use a tool like MoDaCo's NoData tool. Search the forums you will find your answer.
c) It is where "wonderiuy" said it is. For the icons in Programs you need to go one level deeper in the start menu. My Device -> Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs. There you will find links to all the icons when you go to Start Programs.

Thanks a lot! I have also a small question: is there any reason for which I shouldn't enable all the power managements that there are in Advanced Config Tool?

I would be still grateful for answering a) and d) :].

d) Disable large start menu
Start -> Settings -> Large start menu -> disable (or rather not enable) it

Do this,
1. Click the weather tab and click the location name at the top. You will get into ‘Select City’ window.
2. Tap the ‘Menu’ at the bottom right of the screen and choose ‘Weather Options…’ from the pop-up list.
3. Uncheck ‘Download weather data automatically*’

b) Easy solution: Go to Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Manage Networks -> and choose "Company Network" for "Programs with automatic internet connectivity use ....". Name of options may vary, because I use German ROM. Translation done by brain.exe on the fly ;)

Thanks a lot mates! So, there is no way to solve my problem "d)" ?

[runningtiger]

see post #6 in your own thread (above). :rolleyes: Does that not do what you asked?

[theriel]

That has nothing to do with choosing the programs you want to have listed in the menu start. Large menu is completely different thing which, by the way, I have disabled since the very beginning.
