Knowing better not to mess with something that's working, I went into memaid and did some cleaning to remove those programs that didn't uninstall correctly. Now I am missing half of the stuff on my Today screen such as messenger, screen lock, pocket weather, etc. If I go into the Settings/Todays/Item, the items that used to be there are mostly gone. But for some reason they still show up in memaid as valid item on today screen.
Upon further examination, it appears all the plugins on today screen are still within the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS\
Each entry does show ACTIVE=1. It's as if Today screen is not picking up these plugins.
Anybody know how I can restore these missing items?
HELP!
Sorry, forgot to mention this is WM5 on a 8125.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
Hi steph280!
On reading the full explanation it definitely sounds like some DLLs are misplaced / missing.
Check out my full reply in this thread:

And if that doesn't help I'm afraid you'll have to do a hard reset
Sorry.
I went ahead and did a hard reset anyway.
Thanks for your help.

Ok, look, I've searched and scoured and repeated until I'm pissed beyond belief. My NATF Manila2D ROM was boogying right along just freaking fine until I installed KaiserTweak and now it's all effed to Hell and back.
SOMEONE EXPLAIN?!
Sorry to be so ill but I've noticed it's happened with NUMEROUS Manila2D ROMs and it's pissing me off to constantly have to reflash (I didnt really realize that was the issue until now.)
Basically, I install KaiserTweak, OPEN KaiserTweak, CLOSE KaiserTweak (doesnt matter if ANY changes are made by the user, ie me) then soft reset. Upon reboot, the p.o.s TouchFlo engages and the BOOM! I get the lovely Black Screen of Death: PPC Edition. Once TouchFlo loads, it shows the Message tab but WITH NO FREAKING OTHER TABS!! *fumes*
It shows a pretty black blankness where the Manila interface should be and "All Messages" and "Menu" where the soft keys aught to be.
I'm bloody sick and tired of reflashing my stuff. *seriously pissed*
The easiest thing is to just NOT install KaiserTweak BUT I would like to know any way AROUND this cursed p.o.s. conflict.
I've attached a screen shot of the issue. Maybe a picture will help clarify why I'm so ill.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Forgive me if it's some simple tweak I have to engage to fix this. I've just tried everything that I know and I'm really just ill that I've sat here and fought with this thing to no avail...Thanks again, folks.
False Alarm! =D
Ok, sorry for the freak out. Pretty much I uninstalled every customization tool I had (even though everything was cool until KaiserTweak effed it up) and now it's back to normal =]
If anyone has any ideas as to what setting is actually corrupting my interface (as no one else seems to be having this issue or at least not reporting it) then letting me know would be greatly appreciated. I love my customization tools but not if they're gonna conflict and break my phone =[
Btw, NATF has some of the best ROMs IMHO =D
Going back to loving my ROM now lol
Thanks guys!
One More Piece of Info for the Road
So I just went back and I figured out that if I take the Messaging tab off in the Tab Settings that everything is ok but if I put it in (which I really dont have to have so it's ok, would be nice though) then it effs it back up to that black screen that I originally freaked about.
Like I said, everything was ok until KT. =[
Maybe that weirdness will help.
Here's to hoping.

I have installed applications around 45 (less than 50 for sure) but after installing the last three - four apps I found that Remove Program list is not showing anything. Immediately I removed the lastly installed four five programs using SK tools but the Remove Programs list is still blank although the programs were successfully removed. Everything is working alright though. I think something has crashed in Registry.
It also happened earlier and I had to hard reset to get it back. But this time I am seeking advices from anybody if there is a way to get back things anyway - probably by a Registry Edit.

this is a bug in windows mobile. we found it on the shadow on tmos stock rom.
there is no fix for it. just gotta use active sync to remove programs or like you used sktools.
OK, so I have to stay with the blank menu only till I hard reset.

I had the same problem after installing a bunch of programs and tools. But I think I found a solution: after removing VoxOC Setup.CAB "remove programs" is working again. I'm not sure that it was VoxOC Setup.CAB but give it a try....
Infact I dont have VoxOC installed in my device. So it might be something else. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
I installed the following programs from this thread:
- HTC_Task_Manager_2.1_34837.5.cab
- AudioManager_2.0_1819.1228.cab
- Dr. Gonzo s730 Audio Manager.cab
- Vox_BlackSecondHTCSplashscreen.cab
- Vox_BlackCommManager.cab
- Contact_changer_v1.3.cab
One of them is the villain and caused the remove program menu to appear empty! I would suspect the Second HTC Splashscreen as I had troubles removing the program...
First, I love this app! And thanks to all for the hard work!
But I do have an issue...
I did a hard reset on my Omnia and installed TF2D. But I can't seem to get it to take up the whole screen. I have about an inch of dead empty space below the app. Basically it stops just above the volume keys. Anyone else see this? Any ideas on what I can do to make it expand more?

I think I may have at least figured out what's going on. Maybe some settings from other themes are hanging around and not being deleted before applying the new theme? For instance I also noticed that "am" by the time is not the same font as the time itself.
Also, looking in my Windows folder I have about 450 files with the names "hh_email..., hh_fw...", hh_hm...", etc. And about 216 in the Windows\ManilaGFX with similar naming. Is this normal. I did a hard reset last night. But maybe when I sync'ed it, it carried over some of the bad settings from before???
UPDATE: I think I'm going to have to Hard Reset it...again. I'm thinking that I have a couple issues going on here. I think that after I reset it last night, the sync copied over the bad files back into the Windows directory.
Now, I can copy the original HTChomesettings.xml into the Windows directory and it works. Kinda...but as soon as I use the M2DC program to switch themes, it messes everything up again. Not sure what's going on here. And no matter what I try now, I don't have any of the icons in my weather tab. This sucks.
Hey guys,
I hate for my first post here to be a problem, but while trying to get Wargus running on my Touch Pro I changed the registry setting for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEDriversConsoleOutputTo to 0 to use PocketCMD.
While browsing around trying to figure out why PocketCMD won't display text unless I scroll up or down, I found someone who said they managed to kill their Pro after reboot by changing the value to 0, like the instructions said. Before I reboot I was hoping to change it back to the original value so that I don't have this problem.
They claimed that by doing this, it caused the console to come up on boot and they were unable to continue past this. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I just got this a few days ago and would hate to have already killed it .
just do a hard reset....
That is what I ended up doing. I was just hoping I wouldn't have to lose all my contacts and installs I had already entered. I guess I have learned my lesson to backup the registry before messing around. Thanks anyway, though.
Whenever I do a hard reset, I save all my contacts to my sim card, or I do a back up with HTC data back up.
Here is the backup tool I use
Thanks, I will probably end up using that regularly. The problem I was having before is that WM wouldn't boot far enough for me to do anything from the phone. It came up with a console menu once the task bar loaded, displayed some diagnostic info and then froze.
I guess this would be a seperate topic as well, but what console do you use for the Touch Pro since the registry editing needed to run PocketCMD causes the phone to freeze on boot?

My HTC Touch HD also freezes at a same way because of the same situation.
How is it possible to install/use this tool since it freezes around at the 5th second after boot?
so basically i haven't had any problems with the phone yet, i switched it off last night, got up this morning and switched it on and it froze on the black screen where it's supposed to say 'loading touchflo 3d' or something? i don't think it actually reaches that part though. i can see the start button, icons, and bottom menu but it's frozen. everytime i restart this happens now. what should i do :/
edit: is there any way of retrieving my contacts (if i can't actually load into windows)? ..before hard resetting
nevermind i'm too impatient, did the hard reset and the device seems to be working fine so far
Yeah theres a website through Microsoft...its in beta but works..
It allows you to backup all your contacts, emails, txts, pictures etc to your microsoft hotmail storage....

Hope that helps for future issues.
