And did you install jbed? If not, then your default jvm is jeodek.exe. I installed jbed because jeodek doesn't support internet access through t-zones, which may not be an issue for you if you have a better internet plan. |

It's exactly: \Windows\jeodek.exe; -run s0_ The 0 (zero) specifies the first java application you installed, which I assume is opera. You really should read the link I provided where I give a step by step for using opera. Or read this: http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv...et-manager.html |

Here's how to turn the CLinks menu to a cheap photo dialer.
So for each page, change the picture to point to a photo and change the action link to: tel:17775551212 When you click it, it will dial that number. You can also change the right-softkey button to launch another number, so for a specific contact, you can have a way to dial two numbers, like Mobile and Home. You can also use the tel: syntax in shortcuts: 15#tel:17775551212 In case you're wondering, with wm shortcuts, the number before the # counts how many characters are after the #. No idea if it's important for that to be correct since the shortcut still works if the number is incorrect. Now, if would be nice if there were an application to easier add/remove/update your photo contacts or search the call log and populate the pages with your most frequently called people. For the photos, it can just look for a matching <telephone>.jpg or use a generic one if not present. This post has been edited by badbob001: Dec 3 2007, 13:35 |

If s1 worked, that just means that opera was not the first applet you ever installed. s0 = first s1 = second s2 = third etc Perhaps you installed something, uninstalled it, and then installed opera? Its poss when i look under the \windows\appdb\ to see corosponding numbers and applet files all i could see was s1 for like 5 diffrent files i think i did install o mini 1st day i had phone but ended up doing a master reset on the 3rd day cuz the vtap app i added was showing that i had 1 text message and -1 picture and -1 mms messages even when i had nothing there maby residual file info stuck to java midlet? Who knows just happy it works, but really, thanks for the helpful advice:) always looking to gain as much knowledge as possible, the more i mod the more i understand about the basics! |

See pic below... with some registry tweaking and some image creation as required, you can turn the t-zones menu into a favourites menu for whatever you want (apps, web pages etc). You're not limited to 4 either Refining the process atm, but watch this space! P PS Note that this is a real live screen shot and it works as you would expect... PPS HKLM\Security\cHome\CLinks is where the fun begins ;) ![]() where in the registry can I find the settings to change them too? |

Yeah guys your icons look great. Is there anyway I can get a few main icons. Not for the left side icons but the main page icons. I need one for
IE File Explorer The Settings Folder Games (I like the little green joystick. Do you have a big version?) Thanks |

In order to simplify people lives (who don't want to do a lot of registry changes), I put together a cab file that extends the Intenet Menu and add an additional Menu.
1- This cab file modify the existing "Internet Menu" and adds Weather, News, OperaMini Links to it. 2- Creates an additional Menu with links to Google Maps, Traffic, Movies (TCPMP), Calculator, SmartPhone Notes and YouTube (vtap) Note: It assumes that you have those applications installed in your "Storage Card" My phone is already customized so I can't test it. I'm looking for volunteers to test it. You can download it from here: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=co...info&id=156

For the photos, it can just look for a matching <telephone>.jpg or use a generic one if not present. Just created a cab file with the basic "Template". You need to update the registry with your own values: phone numbers, pictures, etc. You can download it from here: http://freddyreyes.com/index.php?option=co...info&id=164 Each contact will have a default photo and the numbers +555-555-1234 for cellphone and home. After installation you need to go to HKLM\Security\cHome\CLinks3\Page"n" (1-5) and edit each value with your own data: links to your own pictures, numbers, etc. -------------------- |

Okay, so after adding Google Maps and Opera Mini to my "Internet" menu, I was trying to change the t-zones graphic in the neomenu to a generic globe graphic. Well, I changed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\cHome\CLinks:ICONPATHS to "\Program Files\internet.png" and now the "Internet" menu is gone. Oops.
Can someone help me out with the original value for that key so I can get back on the road here? Thanks! This post has been edited by Jaeger2600: Dec 21 2007, 19:32 |

In order to change the icon, you have to actually create two different versions of it: a regular one, and a grayed out one. The registry key actually requires that you include the file path for three different icons, but the second one doesn't seem to have a use..? Anyway, just edit the first and the last one, and make sure to include all three files in the registry key in the following format. Good luck! \CHome_links_sat_active.png;\CHome_links_sat_inactive.png;\CHome_links_desat_inactive.png |
