Where does "Device Information" get it's info from? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

Sorry for starting a new thread, but didn't want to pollute the leaked AT&T 3.14 thread by going off-topic. I've been playing around with that ROM for the past day and a half to remove the AT&T, erm..., customisations (BLOAT!!!) and I've obviously deleted something along the way that I shouldn't have.
When I go into Start > Settings > Device Information on my phone, it opens the right application but with no info in the box, and the screen just displays the "wait" circle. I can move between the tabs, but each one is blank and the wait symbol stays until I close the app, then the phone's fine again.
I know the ROM version comes from the OEM/OEMVERSION/mxipupdate_OEMVERSION_100.provxml file (which is fine) but does anyone know where the rest of the info comes from so I can try to trace the file I've obviously deleted?
Thanks, and sorry for being an idiot who doesn't want to lose several hours of playing by starting again from scratch!

sounds like you have deleted htcutil.dll

heh. the last build of my rom that i cooked, i "misplaced' the whole Device Information icon and link

Thanks Sakajati, that's exactly what I did! I've grabbed a copy, dropped it straight into my /Windows folder and it's started working again.
This just leaves two questions - just how much of a genius are you to have spotted that from my vague description, and just how late at night was it when I deleted that file!!
Thanks again.

New User Interface

Hello,
Pointui.com has launched a new user interface, similar like iphone and its free.
Check out a detail review over here.
Nice!
Looks very promising. But I think it will be a real memory eater. Can't wait to see the first reviews.
Interface
interesting, looks very nice. apparently, they will release their first version at midnight today. can't wait 00.00 and by the way, i wish u all a happy happy new year with out beloved wizards

It does look nice, but you realize that was a demo, right? I'd like to see a real demo with an actual running copy of it with a real finger using it. As far as I could tell, thats just a flash (or similar) example.
BTW the website (with countdown clock) is at http://there-is-no-place-like-home.com/
mfrazzz, if you want to know for sure then go and download it
It's now available.
BTW: I'll retract my above statement after watching this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRw1T-N5dic&feature=user
Looks impressive as the other demo.

Thanks and it looks very slick and is very responsive. I have issues trying to setup my home location for weather though. First, I find it odd that USA is seperate from North America . Then when I select Colorado and choose a letter (C for example) it first loaded the B's. Then I exited out and came back in (as it kept showing B) and did it again. Choose C again and it loaded W's...
Still this look very impressive. Are we allowed to cook this into roms?

It's free, and I didn't see any licensing information so I don't know why not.
Hi mfrazzz, sounds like you are hitting the right of the screen in the area that activates bookmark scroll try clicking in the center or to the left.
In the future it would be great if you guys want to burn it into roms, but if I was you I would wait for a few bugs to get sorted out. We are going to be spending the next few weeks working through issues that have already been raised in our forums.

Yeah, I think my problem is I'm doing quick and light presses. I need to get the feel of this, but if I do a more firm press its selecting thing properly. So I think this is a case of user error in learning this

Yep, fully understand.
Quick question... Is there anyway to get to the Apps that are located in the Start Menu? (\Windows\Start Menu) . This seems to show apps starting at \Windows\Start Menu\Programs . So by default things like Office, Contacts, etc are not available (unless I'm missing something again).
On first blush, I'm impressed so far. Now people need to rewrite the apps underneath so they are more finger friendly too
Hi mfrazzz, try in Favorites.

Its really useful, but theres is some of the thing that is missing in it, if intigerated than it would one of the most useful program a winmo user will ever need. I will write a review on it may be tommorow check my blog.
This looks freaking sweet. There is one thing that I noticed though. Kinetic/Touch scrolling is normally done opposite in the direction of scroll so that the text/image follows the direction of your movement. This seems to bg going in the direction of scroll. Is there a setting to change this?

You can change this. Hit your settings button (upper right gear symbol) The change it to object navigation from slide naviagation)
Also for those that can't close programs. Hit the program name (of the app you have open)in the upper left, then choose force close. So far i have only seen this not work on the phone screen which you have to minimize.
I really like this interface and it's a keeper for me. The only issues i really have is #1) Reoccuring appointments do not show and #2) it defaults to outlooks e-mail instead of the account switcher. i don't use the outlook e-mail, instead i check 2 pop accounts. My work around for now is to add a shortcut to messaging to the startup and access it there.
If anyone has a work around for the above, please post it.
GREAT APP though!
Hi ROCOAFZ, version 1.01b is going to be available soon which allows for an alternative email store - you can specify a different store name and the unread email indicator is the total for all your email accounts. Won't have a screen to update it at this stage - just a registry val to set, but with a bit more time...
1.01b is going to be the first mass test of Update Manager. Man, I hope it works
Recurring appointments - on the list, but don't expect it within the next few days - we're back to day jobs as of tomorrow and presently spending time trying to tackle some of the bigger bugs. Actually, we are spending our time trying to keep up with our forum and getting no coding done
Glad you like it.
Hi everybody,
I have written a detail reveiw of pointui home here check it out.
well i just install it on my phone and i think it's a lovely app. run fairly smooth on my wizard. kinda lag on the switching of viewing mode, unlike the video. beside that i love.

Today page

I apologize in advance if this is something that is well known to all the people who can use the search engine on the forum, but I haven't seen anything like that in the postings i have read so far.
Some time today, I have got this problem that I am eager to solve. I just got my Fuze on Tuesday, so over the last couple of days I have installed a large numbers of .cab files. Apparently, after one of this installations something have changed, and on my Today page there is a white shade of the man's head (if you go to Contacts tab, for the contacts, for which you have no picture, you will see a smaller version of it)
So, my question is whether there is a way to remove it from my Today page
Thanks in advance

Looks like a regular wallpaper to me. Try to change it in TouchFlo: Settings->Wallpaper and choose something different... or restore it to default.
I believe it is so!!
Thanks, guys. Indeed the problem was solved by setting the wallpaper to default. Once again thanks a lot for your help - it is my first WM phone, so I am still learning
no worries. I know many who usually prefer the hard way to learn

Why is messaging typing so slow?

On nearly every ROM i have used so far the typing for messaging, be it an email or a text, just crawls along. It is so painful. I have to sit there and wait and wait for the words to catch up. I'm sure you all know what i'm referring to. I did a search and didn't find a thread about it, although i am sure a solution is out there. Much thanks i you can point me in the right direction.
EDIT: P.S. Please pardon my faux pas....i just now realized, i did not mean to post this to this forum. Mods if you would like to move to the main Raph forum please do so. Cheers!
Mod Edit: Added the cab from the Kaiser forum to speed up keyboard as it works on the Touch Pro as well.

try disabling xt9 and see what happens.
I've noticed the same issue here! Still haven't found a fix tho ;-\
Kewlj1313
not sure where "x"t9 is, but i am pretty sure i have any t9/word complete options turned off and it still crawls. I pretty much want to get rid of that black box that appears around my words above the input area...i think that's the culprit
Did you really disable word completion under settings / input ??
Not sure why this is such a stupid question, as i would be keen to know the answer myself. You can wait ages for the input to catch up, once you have finished typing. So if anyone can help on this, i too would be grateful.

I checked again and there was one more word complete in there somewhere that was not turned off....did a soft reset and it seems to be working normally Thanks for telling me to check again!
I have the same thing, too. When I slide open the phone and start typeing away, i have to let the letters catch up so I can see what I'm typing.
Kinda annoying...

Hello,
Could you please tell me where the other text completion format is?
I went to settings and messaging and turned that off as well as in the advanced config.
Thanks
Nevermind, it is still delayed for me
The settings are where karloe says earlier. Just check all the options and such everywhere in input settings, but i'm still getting delayed typing. It sucks

Fn + Space then choose ABC.
I know this is pretty obvious but I didn't know it, I found the solution here in the forum. Hope it helps you as it helped me.

Went in there, ABC is selected already.....STILL a PAIN ITA

Bump
I've tried every tweak, etc. out there....i am guessing that not everyone is having this problem then?
Another thing i notice that is annoying is that when i create a word it tends to save that word in the "word memory" just above the typing box, and if i jump to another part of the message and it still has saved that last word i typed, it will insert that word if i put a space or type a letter. Also very annoying. I have no word complete's or anything are turned on.
Mine works just fine...
But typing was very slow on my old Mogul.

[Q] I've searched. I swear! I suck.

I've been searching all $*#(&$# day. Please be kind. I'm about to cry.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy S 4g when they first came out. I rooted because I heard I could delete the "bloat" and regain disk space. I had no trouble rooting, but my phone has never worked right and I'm ALWAYS getting out of disk space messages, even though I've moved every possible app to the SD card. At some point I lost the ability to send or receive picture text messages so I went hunting online. I don't remember the steps I took or how I took them, but somehow I changed the model of my phone to say HTC Vision. It was on recommendation from someone somewhere, but it was over a year ago and I can't find the thread I originally read.
Fast forward to now. I got the out of disk space error AGAIN, so I used Titanium Backup to delete some stuff. Yes, I'm a dumbass and I must have deleted something that looked unimportant, but WAS. Now both email and text messaging crashes. I can receive a text, but messaging crashes before I can reply. I can make and receive calls.
I've been looking for a day and a half to try to find a stock rom with instructions to "flash" back to factory settings. (I put these terms in quotes because, while I've seen them everywhere, I really don't know what they mean). I've downloaded the updated Kies program, but it won't recognize my phone. Possibly because it thinks it's an HTC Vision? I've also installed Odin in preparation for reinstalling the stock rom. I keep hitting a wall whenever I find a link to what I think is a stock rom - I get a stupid ilivid link and nothing else. I've avoided installing ilivid, but I went ahead and installed it to try to get the rom. I don't know what else to do.
I'm sorry this is so long. My level of proficiency is just enough to get myself into a lot of trouble with no knowledge to get myself out. Can anyone help in a "for dummies" answer? Thanks in advance.
one click back to stock should do the trick. I believe you do it twice for bootloader.

Don't cry lol. Go to this link :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
and download the one click. All you have to do is open it up and click flash and everything is done for you. When its done, your phone will be just as it was when you opened the box it came in. As a word of advice though, don't use titanium backup to move apps to the SD card. It does more harm than is justified for saving a few MB's, because system apps aren't meant to be used from the SD card. If you don't use them, just delete them.
Thank you!!!
You all are amazing. I now successfully have Gingerbread stock (when I used to have Froyo) and everything seems to be working just like it should. I think I'll leave my phone alone now. I tried to swim in the deep end, but I belong in the kiddie pool! This is all above my head. Thank you again! MWAH!!!

[Q]

I am using paranoid android 4.6 beta 1 on the defualt kernel that comes with it.... I am not using xposed module or any other modifications... I am on default theme...
Whenever I open the gallery only some images load up (the recent ones) for the thumbnail preview and even when opened for the remaining many I get grey thumbnails and when openedgrey boxes..
I know this has something to do with media scanning being enabled at startup... But I didn't do anything to screw it up... I had this issue previously... But since no one helped I simply got back to stock ROM.. Pa 4.6 and a couple of releases before it worked well... It got back when I clean flashed the ROM yday!
Why not ask in the rom thread, where the guys that use the rom are?
Also, you may want to consider a more detailed title for your threads in the future... Many won't even open a thread with a vague or barely existent title. ?

Well, not sure what to say. Try clean flashing it again. About ago you can do.
Or ask in their thread, maybe someone else has had it happen. ?
Really your only options.
try this app - old thumbnails and grey boxes were displaying on mine, i had to scan everytime i deleted images, i think it was since i switched back to art, i started from scratch - no longer needed the app, i wasnt using PA
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.jerickson314.sdscanner&hl=en
I can't tell if the gray thumbnails are actual photos sometimes. I normally delete them. You can use a File Manager and delete .thumbnails is whatever folder, as well attempt a reboot.
