Is there a way to customize the call screen to? like when you press numbers? Whats call initate?

[JwY]

[CoRupT]

Is there a way to have a set icon list on the homepage? Like instead of recent programs ive used but i want a set program list

[JwY]

i haven't figured out how to do that yet
you should look at modaco.com if you have time, they might explain it there

[CoRupT]

Ive been on modaco, XDA,hofo looking for good information so far i think hofo has been the best beause of the long threads for tips,hacks etc.. that was one of the small details why i liked the Nokia E61 that i used to have.

@ CoRupt

I believe the plugin you are looking for is RJ Shortcuts (Additional homescreen plugin that gives you static shortcut icons on your homescreen)...I have not used it with the Dash yet, however when I had my MPx220, it worked fine. Below is a link (navigate to plugins) where you can download the plugin along with other usefull plugins and programs. Hope this help.....

That sounds like it would work but one thing the links on the site is dead

EDIT: I found the file at another site giving it a test right now

[kwues1]

my fault CoRupT, should have checked before hand.....good luck, hope it works out for you.

I installed and i can tell you it doesnt work. the program installs but i cannot find it on the phone so i removed it from the phone.

what I did was create copies of the shortcuts in the folders I made then hid the originals. as you've found, you can't move shortcuts in rom but you should be able to copy them using your desktop. I forget which explorer I used (I never use the built in one but depending on what I'm doing, use two different ones on the device, as well as the desktop explorer)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Finally I got rid of the annoying "Setup my E-Mail" icon"!!!

This is going straight into the FAQ.

Has anyone figured out how to change the Alarm settings?

I've found where to change what midi plays when the alarm goes off but can't find how to change the length of time after hitting the snooze.

I think the default is 1 min and I'm thinking about 5 min. would be a little better for a snooze fan like myself.

Thanks

Sadly Resco Explorer doesn't include this (which I use for most other things) when I need to do some Start Menu cleaning up, I whip out IA's manager. It really isn't landscape aware so that's pretty much all that it's good for...

Actually it does, that's how I hid the "Set up my e-mail" shortcut.

[T-Will]

took you long enough lol

To disable call initiate sound
- Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sounds
- Rename the 'Dialing' key to 'Dialing.old'
(thanks to paul from modaco)

This should also work:

Shut Off the Beep that Occurs When You Initiate a Call

Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InC all2

Change String/Value InitVol to 0

*scratches head trying to remember what I meant when I said that*

OH. Ok now I remember, Resco doesn't allow you to hide Folders. (But as you said it can hide files)

I had used IA File manager to hide the T-mobile Hotspot and Application folders (after creating copies of the shortcut within and placing them in Accessories)

Does anyone know how to remove the large "E" on the top of the screen? I assume thats telling me Im in a edge network. got rid of everyting else up there and its bugging the hell outta me.
