Torch Button, flashlight app, I know you have one, but this one just turns light on or off as you press it. Set to long press send key in buttons and it will toggle the light. Works perfect on my Sprint Touch Pro.

Re: Touch Pro Essentials
Only other gripe is why the damn text is so big when making text messages and reading them. Anyone know how to reduce? I poked around and couldnt find it.

Re: Touch Pro Essentials
Try: Start->Settings->System->Screen->Text Size and move the slider to the size of text you want.

[*]Information on how to remove sprint Manila3D customizations and get an HTC Stock configuration here
this is AWESOME...I just unloaded tf3d, copied the files into the windows folder, soft reset, then turned on tf3d and it is so FAST...the slider has never been this fast on my tp or on my prior diamond even with the juicy rom on it... and whatever program that says start that shows up in the running programs, I just excluded it so I don't see it and you would never know the difference...sweet man |

Re: Touch Pro Essentials
Is there a way to disable the "touch wheel" from resizing the text in text messages? I always resize the text inadvertently. Instead, can the wheel scroll instead? The same with emails... This is a big annoyance to me.

i downloaded the rar file and unzipped it on my desktop. i disabled tf3d on my phone from the today settings. i tried copying the files and got an "access denied" message. did you copy from your desktop to ppc via windows explorer? or did you copy it to a differnet directory, then use resco or total commander? i tried soft resetting and using dotfred task manager to kill every process i could find, but it still said access denied when i tried to copy the new manila files over |
Re: Touch Pro Essentials
A few I've been posting in more then one thread:
Old school word correction: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409] "Ime File"="\windows\compime.dll" "Layout Text"="COMP IME" use this and then go into settings input and enable auto correction and perform a soft reset For those that hate the annoying/ laggy stock T9 word correction. You can revert to using the one most of us are familiar with from the Mogul etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Switch Mute Call on phone flipped face down: HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE : FaceDownMuteRing: change value to "0" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disable Start-up sound or change it: HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\ rename both "StartupGif" and "StartupWav" to other target to switch and leave blank to disable |

Easy way to fix is look for "Sprint Music" and delete Sprint and you're done. This is the same way I change Mail to E-Mail and Music to LilRico's Music :D |
Re: Touch Pro Essentials
Finally got rid of the startup sound. I followed the advice in the first post to remove the startup animation and sound. Though it removed the animation the sound that plays when the green "windows mobile' screen first comes on still plays. This is annoying because I charge my phone on my nightstand overnight and I also have it do a backup overnight, as part of that Sprite Backup resets my phone and then you have the annoying startup sound that wakes me up. Here is what I did. Via registry editor navigate too..
HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CDMA\FlightM odeOnOff\ Open up 'Sound_on' and remove it's value (currently pointing to a wav file) |
Re: Touch Pro Essentials
Might want to add this info to the first post. There's an issue with IMAP Gmail and sometimes it breaks and won't allow you to send emails. You have to delete the account and set it up again. The CAB in this thread supposedly fixes it.

Re: Touch Pro Essentials
I managed to relink my calendar in TouchFlo to open up PocketInformant. Here's a link to my post http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42924
The app I used lets you customize TouchFlo quite a bit it seems but my only need was to use PocketInformant. |

Re: Touch Pro Essentials
There's a freeware program called PocketToolman 2 that allows you to do some cool things:
1. Soft reset w/o pushing the hole at the bottom 2. Disable scripts in PIE so that you can access sites such as ppc geeks w/o script errors slowing down the page 3. Some other random O/S tweaks. http://pockettoolman.clarencechau.ca/ |

hey, OP, you might want to update the battery percentages link with this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307
The link you currently have links to a page here that links to the old battery percentages thread... The Op of that created a new one. just a heads up. |

Re: Touch Pro Essentials
Yep... but there's one trick to using it...
After making most changes, you'll have to reboot the phone. Unfortunately, if you just make the changes and reset with the soft-reset button, the changes won't stick. The solution? Simple... either wait 60 seconds for the changes to be committed to the registry naturally, OR hold the power button to force the phone to shutdown. |

Re: Touch Pro Essentials
I'm not sure if you'd like to add this or not, but I think it'd be a great addition, I have seen multiple people asking around for it. A program you can use for the Touch Pro and presumably the Touch Diamond(I use a Touch Pro) for a pretty good VGA Java program that will run Java apps & games (I've only tested with the latest gmail APP thus far and it works very nicely, it'll even stay open in the background unlike previous editions with the midlet 2.0 (not sure if you can run multiple apps/games though.) The direct link to download this for free is;
http://www.powerpda.info/?category=w...d_mod__vga_mod I found it in this thread; http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...highlight=java Here is the latest gmail mobile app, version 2.0.6; http://m.google.com/app/v2.0.6/L1/gmail-g.jar |

Here is an installer I made that bundles two utilities I've found today that allow you to toggle the Bluetooth and Wifi radios.
When you install it, it creates two shortcuts in your Start > Programs folder called BTOnOff and WifiOnOff. Tap once to enable the specified radio, tap again to disable. I assigned them to my Manila "Programs" page for quicker access. BTToggle Source WifiToggle Source |
Re: Touch Pro Essentials
I posted an update on the Old School Word Correction hack on this thread...
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...69&postcount=5 Basically, REMOVE the part that tells you to change the Text Layout to "COMP IME" ... this is what breaks everything. |
