Useful plugins,upgrades for Kaiser

Hi all, was wondering if I could enlist your help?
I have an Orange Tytn II and would like some feedback as to what people think is
- the best regeditor
- the best set of useful plugins - including updating to WM6.1
- the best source of skins
for the Tytn II
thank you.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated...

I have an Orange Tytn II and would like to;
- find available plugins which might include - skins and ways to upload, - Change the battery icon to a useful icon of a battery - rather than Orange one
- Change the time that the screen stays on when I'm on a call - so a reg editor
- Maybe upgrade to WM6.1 (without changing Orange menus etc)
Any thoughts would be much appreciated...

All your questions are answered here
And the first topics in first page of the kaiser forum.

I dont want to sound like a ass, but did you look around at all first? All of that is easy to find, well not the upgrade because you will not get that util your service provider comes out with that unless you want a new cooked rom.

Ok..sorry, obviously not clear enough.

PS - have been reading this forum for hours and as I am sure you can appreciate I am trying to cut through the chaff, not unreasonable wouldn't you say?

NO. Search and read some more before you ask...

Now ya all ganging up on me...
easy isn't it to say "RTFM".... and makes you look so good too...

I bet the Wiki will find you all the answers, and if not, the search will.
But seriously, quoting the post above you, or quoting in a thread with one single topic is almost as annoying...

1) FdcSoft Task Manager
2) You need to Flash your rom to upgrade to 6.1. (so you will lose your orange stuff).
3) Varies on what you like. You will have to search on this, im affraid.

I think it makes you look good too that you don't care enough to do your own legwork. There is more than "hours" of reading here... try DAYS.

Cut through the chaff? Maybe now you can see why there is SOOO much chaff! So yes, it is unreasonable to just start a thread because you don't care to search, try, dig deeper and go for it.
There are skins threads out the butt around here.
A regedit cab? Try PHM RegEdit
Cabs??? What do you call useful? How would WE know what YOU think is useful? There are 1,000's of cabs to install. Are you into photos? Music? GPS? Games? Putty? Contacts? What is it that YOU want?
Find your cabs by searching.... here is a starting point for you:

How many pages shall I find for you? You didn't specify.
If you don't feel like helping yourself, you can start a new thread or reply to this one.

Okay, here is your one free "I'm too lazy to search & read" answer. I personally would've saved it for a "my device is bricked" question, but hey!
I use resco explorer. It is in my opinion the best file explorer & as a bonus it comes with one of the best & friendliest to use registry explorers & editors. Resco also allows you to easily network you computer to your PPC.
I get my full length battery bar, enhcanced scrolling & a much more effective X-button using SPB Pocket Plus. I have deleted the today plug-in portion of the app. so the size is more reasonable. This will also give you multi-tab browsing capability & allow you to use the ok button or X-button to only close one PIE page at a time.
There are tons of theme skins available, but why you would ask about those is beyond me. What's good depends on what you like because they range from plain black to cars to naked women. So, you're on your own there. Start with the "Show us your today screen thread" there are links to tens of thousands of themes there.
Also, get kaiser tweak & the current xml file for it.
WM6.1: If you're not up to flashing yet, you can still add some of the functionality of 6.1 to your stock rom. I suggest getting the PIE6.1 cab file. This will add zoom & overview capability to you current PIE edition. Also take a look at the current Arcsoft 5.0 version. This will add the Voicemail MMS option to MMS text messaging. (as of yet it still won't give you threaded messaging).
A hint for the future. Always search & read first. You can use search, then find a thread & once in the thread there is a search this thread button that will further help you slim down the amount of reading you have to do, it's called "search this thread" & will only return results for the thread you're currently in.
Also use the exclusion feature of advanced search. Highlight the forums that are pertinent to what you're asking. That way you don't get Blue Angel returns for your Kaiser question. I have over three hundred posts. If you look at my posts I don't think I've ever been flamed & I've helped several people with problems even from day one, because maybe I just read an answer that was no help to me, but was exactly what the next guy was looking for. It doesn't pay to be selfish here because everyone has issues, not just you & we've all had to read & work through them. What makes you able to say, hey I deserve an answer without reading (cut through the chaff) when most everyone else has taken the hard path & learned along the way.
Believe me that the reading will pay off in spades. You WILL have MORE problems with your Kaiser. Nature of the beast. I can't tell you how many times I've answered my own question because something I'd read earlier popped back into my mind. Reading will save you time in the long run & helps to keep the boards free of clutter.
That said, good luck with your new Kaiser.

It is just me, or does anyone else receive SPAM email in their personal email accounts?

Hey Grizzz,
Dang man we're opposites! You burn him down then soften the landing, where I like to raise him up then take out the knees! Either way it makes much more sense to do it one of those two ways.
Sure, I know the Noobie needs to have his wrist smacked, but why not do it in a way that ends the thread, like you or I do. Just reprimanding the kiddie does nothing but waste space. So help a Noobie out, take him under your wing & show him how things are done. Don't just reprimand him.
Maybe somew of the +1000 post old timers used to be like us too? Could they have become callus to where they came from? Except of course peep's like cmonex, Jockey, Dutty, Meinyysis, Olipro (I think they were all spawn with a pda in there hand & I heard that Oli's middle name was CE, lol...

You are right. But in the "old" days - AKA Hermes Forum one year ago FLAMING was hard and cruel . A noooob got FLAMED if he had not done his homework - and I find it was actually OK.
I remember reading for DAYS to find out how to FLASH, and IF I had any questions - I asked in a PM or in the specific thread....
I remember a long discussion about having limits for newies so they could not write in the Forum for some time after they joined to make sure they used some time reading before asking the same questions again and again...

Yeah, I remember lurking in Hermes afraid to ask. I once even PM'd Meinyysis & bit my nails for days hoping that the response wouldn't be "Go Die". Not that he'd ever do anything like that, but Hermes forum was brutal at times.

I dont understand why people are hesitating to help instead enjoy having the attitude and reply harsh. If a thread is unnecessary, then the moderator can lock the thread.
This person was looking for some openion. He is not asking how to install something.
1) If you dont want to reply, ignore the post
2) If you care this site and feel the thread is unnecessary, PM mod and ask him to lock the thread
3) To control these kinds of thread and you really get annoyed to answer question which you asked when you were actually a newbee, try to organize this site. Evaluate the members before they join.
One smart person gave the link for search. What an attitude. I am not sure what he is thinking about himself. I seriously hate the attitude of some people here.
MartinH - Please dont feel that all the posts are directed to you.

Ah, to live life unencumbered with things like common sense...

In newbie's defense...
I haven't asked any questions and I search the threads and wiki's, but I have to say that this forum is not the easiest thing to find anything in because every thread is packed full of non sense that has nothing to do with the topic. The guy simply asked if there was a way to find plugins and such.
Give the guy a break and just send him a link . I wish there was a better search engine on this forum, but there isn't so I continue to read...and read and read...

vBulletin has a bad search function itself. However there's a advance google search that correctly search the site,

i have the tytn ii and am very new to it
im looking to put message/alert tones on but dont know where to put them..
ive got a few good alerts that id like to put there....ie. new email/message that sort of stuff
please could someone show me the way to go on
thanks in advance

I am a member of various forums, and mod two with more members than this forum. Here's my thoughts;
This forum is full of useful info, but it's also buried amongst huge piles of crap and spam
1) vBulletin software sucks...try IP.B
2) If you feel the urge to reply, reply with something useful
3) If you feel the thread is a waste of time don't add your spam to it. It makes you look more of an arse than the poster; Martinhdk and we3zy
4) Post counts mean nothing, see point 3)
for the persons who actually added useful info to this thread, then thank you, you know who you are.
To the Mods..I've copy and pasted the useful info, so by all means delete this thread, as no one found it useful but me... and save this forum getting more cluttered.

Sound profile keeps changing in Dutty's WM6.1 5.2.19209

Not sure if this has been disccused but I couldn't find any threads on this. When I have my profile set to ring sometime I noticed that it switched to silent.
The only thing I have running is the HTC home plug in so I don't think I have a conflicting program.
Any ideas?

It's your radio check out the wiki it will explain it to you. My phone was doing the same till I read up on it

It may also be the "Automatic" profile, which switches to silent when your calendar says you're in a meeting.

dont u have automatic profile activated? It switches profiles according to your appointments (if u have an appoint. it mutes your sound). Check it in HTC HOME.

Looks like I was too slow.

Sorry for the 'threadjack', but I didn't want to open another thread....
I'm actually having the opposite problem, with both of Dutty's most recent ROM's 4/9 and 4/16, the Automatic Profile is not working for me....I'm using the stock radio that's cooked in with the ROM. I dug through the registry, and it looks like there are some parameters, but I have no clue what they correspod to and how they should be set.
I think it might have to do with the version of HTC Home as I had no problem in the Hybrid ROM or with TNT's.
Any ideas?

HTC Home issues possibly.

The HTC Home is causing some various problems in the latest Dutty ROM. Try something for me, try disabling the Music tab in your HTC Home and see if that helps. It's been reported to help fix peoples GPS issues.

Please next time refrain from creating a new thread and post it in Dutty's thread.
Thank you.
Mod's can we please close this thread.

I appreciate the desire to try and reduce the number of threads, but I had already posted in there and it just got burried....instead of just closing all the offshoot threads, maybe we could have a few additional threads by topic area, i.e. Dutty Radio Compatibility, Dutty 3rd Party App Integration, Dutty OS Crashes.....something along those lines....I mean lets be realistic the Dutty threads grow to an enormous size that just make them unbearable to really get anything asked without being an ass and reposting your question 10 times.....that's the reason these types of threads get created....so maybe there's some other solutions to look at?

No dice unfortunately....I'm still thinking it's a difference the versioning of the HTC Home as I think the builds are different IIRC.
I've tried hunting down the registry paraemeters and couldn't find anything informative in my searches

yes, by reading Dutty's thread. I understand your concern as these post come up everyday and the fact that the question doesn't get answered right away usually means two things.
1.) already been answered
2.) No solution exist
I would actually prefer the question to be asked 10 times in Dutty thread then creating a whole new thread about a simple problem that has nothing to do with ROM development. This is a software related issue.
Honestly the search button is your best friend. I guarantee this question has been asked before.
If somebody simply posted the solution to every problem when somebody created a new thread do you realize how many new threads would have been created and then the spoon feeding would continue as it does.
I also appreciate your concern for coming up with new ways to solve the problem but creating a new thread about a existing thread is not going to solve them problem its just going to clutter up the already cluttered Kaiser ROM Development thread.

I second that. However, I'm using Dutty's Apr01 Hybrid and having major sound profile issues - sometimes muting itself, but sometimes turning itself up from muting! If anyone has any tips, we're hanging out here (post 1544).

I can definitely understand the desire to reduce threads, just to be clear, my suggestion was to create just a couple additional threads in key topic areas. That way you reduce the main thread by a factor of that number, and make each of the appropriate topic threads easier to search through etc. Those threads could be linked in the first post of Dutty's and it would be straightforward.
I'll keep hunting around and searching though.
Heh, and now that the thread as really been derailed it should probably be closed

Does not warrant a new thread....
Post this in the thread regarding the Rom in question.

"Prettier" forum directory now online

I got bored one day and saw some requests for a "prettier" interface for the forum.... that obviously is a long way off if it ever happens (because this is a forum), but here is something to tie you over
Let me know what you guys think or if you want anything added, i already found a few bugs on my own and fixed them so this is like draft 1.1.
www.xda-developers.we.bs
Basically all it is is all the links in the forum directory laid out in an aero theme.
I just compiled everything in paint.net and used html image mapping for all the links.

Any likes or dislikes? Should i add or remove anything? Do you think its useful?

Its my new homepage!

We are adding a commonly asked questions and answer's section (like how to flash your first rom ect.)
Here is the list we have so far:
A guide to flashing your first Rom
How to install Programs on your ppc.
An articles over the diferences between different spl's and what they do
A list of places where people can download programs (such as freeware sites)
Maybe a list of common hacks?
A list of must have programs
Adding it as a refrence for the Q&A section (since we get those questions over there all the time)
Any suggestions to the list? or anything else you would like to see on the site?

I like the old style. its almost easyer to see if there are any new post etc..

Anyway thanks

ya i can't pull info such as recent posts (or atleast i don't know how to) but its more of just a fun thing i did when i got bred
PS... the commonly asked Q&A will just be hosted in the same place. That way i can use html to make it a little esier/"prettier" to read. I have a little more control over what goes where and how ect.
i'm not trying by aymeans to recreate xda... just help supplement it

WM6 App for Facebook. should I develop one ?

Ciao,
I'm a recent fan of facebook, didn't like the idea of it at first but now I ended up having lot's of contacts.
I took a look around searching for a WM6 app to use it (no web browser thanks) but I couldn't find (maybe it's my fault) any, on the other hand I heard that the iPhone has a very nice client (don't own one so I can't really tell how good it is).
After a quick search I found a good compact framework C# library HERE.
the question:
is there already a good WM6 ap for facebook ?
if not..would you guys be interessed in one (no point developping it just for myself)?
It would obvioussly be free for all of you, but I would be in need of every possible suggestion on features and look'n'feel
please post your comments....ciao
Marco

HTC HD2 DFT UltraFruit WLAN not working nor marketplace

Installation went smoothly but WLAN keep asking to re-enter password. It is the correct one, tried different networks. Also marketplace nor people menus work? When pressing them it just goes back to home menu?
Thanks in advance.

Why are you posting here? Isn't there a thread (presumably on the HD2 section of the forum) for this ROM?

no idea, though it was wp7 related.

I assure you, most WP7 devices can use WLAN and the Marketplace. ROM-specific issues should be raised in ROM-specific threads, not by creating a new thread in the Q&A forum for the entire OS.
There's a section of the HD2 forum that is devoted to WP7 on the HD2. If you want to post a WP7-on-HD2 issue somewhere, that's a better place. There's nothing wrong with asking whether a specific problem you're having with an HD2 ROM is a ROM bug or a universal one, but for something like this the answer to that should be obvious.
