Extensions - General Topics

Hi!
I have this strange issue sometimes. Somehow my PPC forgets the proper program to open files with the .jpg extension. I'm running WM6.1 Tomal v7.7 on a i-mate JASJAR. Obviously, since I haven't installed any picture viewers, it should open properly with the default Pictures and Videos app (pimg.exe).
Okay, so it forgot this and then using memmaid 2.2 i reassigned it. It works fine now, but picture files in explorer, messaging, or even while loading thumbnails, the wrong icon will appear. Actually the default "unknown file type" icon appears, instead of the much preferred "picture" icon (from default Picture viewer app.
Anyone know how to fix this without hard reseting? Thanks in advance.

Comm Manager Font Problem

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the Comm Manager in my Touch Cruise.
I just did a hard reset and installed Mobile Navigator GPS software.
Now my Comm Manager looks like this.
If you can notice, the fonts are all jagged.
Any Clues?
Thanks
I've got similar problem. The font in comm. manager is changed. But only in comm manager. Everything else is ok.
same problem here. any ideas how to solve it?
I have the same issue, slightly different font. It is also visible in Notes - Options - on the bottom. I may have that since installing Resco. I suspect that some fonts are replaced.
I have found a solution to it. Rename font files in
\Windows\Fonts
ipa93mr.ttf
ipa93dr.ttf
ipa93sr.ttf
to
ipa93mr.ttf.orig
ipa93dr.ttf.orig
ipa93sr.ttf.orig
and soft-reset. You may have different fonts there as well. But I found these to correspond with the weird fonts in Comm Manager.
In my phone (german OS) the files are called arial.ttf, arialbd.ttf and arialk.ttf.
These are from MN6 and I have delated them. Now the CommManager looks like before and Navigon works also pretty good.

Apparently, I need those fonts installed in \Windows\Fonts. I am only wondering how Comm Manager picks up fonts to be applied in the application. In all likelihood it searches for closest fonts available. Maybe I could copy some default fonts and rename them.
same issue
I have same issue with same phone except:
1. My fonts look even worse than the orig poster
2. My \windows\fonts folder is empty
Noticed the issue last night after I installed the HTC today plug in. So I did a hard reset and it was fine again. Just finished installing CoPilot, Pocket Mechanic and Weather Panel (NOT HTC today this time) and checked Comm Manager and its back to being corrupt again.
Help?!?!
FIXED
OK, my problem is with Marsware weather panel.
To fix:
1. uninstall weather panel
2. copy arial.ttf from your c:\windows\fonts to PPC\windows\fonts
3. soft reset
This worked for me.
Unfortunatly, if you reinstall weatherpanel the problem will return. (as I just found out).
The comm panel does not look the same as it does after a hardreset but it looks a lot better than it did after it corrupted (I think it looks better than original!).
I should probably go to Marwares homepage and report the issue. SPB Weatherbar would not connect/update for me and I do like having the weather on my today screen
Fixed Comm Manager font issue!!
I had the same issue on htc touch cruise comm manager, but the tip given by dib_uk worked for me, thanks!.
My problem started when, due to an application, i got installed a "weird" font file on the empty folder named "fonts" (Windows/Fonts on device). I tried to delete this file, but it didnt allow me, i always got an error message telling me that it was in use by some application. So, this is what i did:
1.- Closed the Comm Manager application, and besides that, terminated the CommManager.exe process using MemMaid.
2.- Copied the font file "Arial Black (true type) from my lap top (c:/windows/fonts) to the folder windows/font on my device
3.- To ensure that the "weird" font file was released, i cut it and pasted on a temp folder, then i finally could delete it
4.- Did a soft reset
5.- Opened Comm Manager and it voila!, it had the same look as from stock
I hope this help to any other with this issue, sorry for my english, its not my native language

How to add exe programs to program quick list? (+Coreplayer problem)

I have couple of programs that run straight as exe files (putty, wmirc). Is there any way to add these to TF3D program page?
Also, just installed Coreplayer and tested with WMV files - I can hear sound but no picture...?
I got CorePlayer working, just needed to change it DirectDraw mode...
Other problem still persists
Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7
Use TF3D Config, It does the job
You can also make shortcuts to "programs" folder using Resco Explorer (send to Start Menu as shortcut). Then they will be available in TF3D programs (to add as favorite).
Thanks, TF3D Config did the trick (and many others )

Manila 2D - how to put shortcut to apllication on "LauncherWidget"

Hi all!
I have Asus P552 - PL orange brand,
Installed Manila 2d - 19b version for all devices and M2DC.
Also I have on memory card some apllication but now they are not available in programs folder - after HR.
I would like to know how to put shortcut to application from memory card (which is not available on programs filder) on "LauncherWidget" M2D??
Anyone?
"Operator settings 0.40" dosent work, only crashed manila.
Shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Hi
You need to create a shortcut to the file you want to open and place it in:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Obviously this will also make the file accessible in your standard WM Start Menu. To achieve this you will need a file explorer. You can do it in the standard Windows Mobile File Explorer as long as you ensure "Show All Files" is enabled. Otherwise, Total Commander PPC is very good and when you select Menu and File you get an option "Create Shortcut" from which you can specify the shortcut location.

Works!
Sustanon, sorry to barge in on your thread, but I see you have M2D running on the Asus P552.
I'm hoping to get M2D running on my dad's XDA Zest (which afaik is a rebranded Asus P552).
Would you mind giving a quick rundown of whats needed to make it work on the Asus?
I found the post here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2761662&postcount=3885
Do I have to install all the attached cab's then install the all devices version of the M2D ?
Also any reason why you are using v19.. I see the latest is v21, I presume all after v19 are patched for all devices, or is that not the case?
Many Thanks!
Hi!
I have this one "ALL DEVICES (VERSION 19b) WITH YOUTUBE ON INTERNET WIDGET" from there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2761662&postcount=3885 but some apllications doesnt work, like HTC album alnd HTC audio manager (Asus have own managers EZI Photo and Ezi Music - by the way - they are crappy looks and not fingerfriendly ) - You can turn off tabs in Manila 2d which not work.
You need to install all the cabs from this pack, they have correctly numbers.
You can try to install without Audio Manager and Photo Manager,
Install also M2DC - but dont turn on "OperatorWidget" - this one can crashed Your Manila.
Some times ago I tried v21 but it doesnt work.
Install Manila on clean system. After HR.
Try also this application to have better manila looks os:
iContact,
FingerSuite,
HTC Calculator
and some dialer
When You istall everything try this Windows .tsk theme
@attachment
I hope helpfully.
EDIT: BY THE WAY - Asus Glide works terrible!! Slow and not really fingerfriendly
Thanks for the reply.
I have just been searching some more and now I'm not so sure that the XDA Zest is the Asus P552..
Does your Asus have a VGA screen?
I'm pretty sure that my dad's XDA has a VGA screen but there doesn't appear to be much info around regarding which Asus device the zest really is.
zest http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1480
p552 http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1468
compare
zest - better battery, resolution screen, usb 2.0
why?!
Nice link, haven't seen that site before..
Doesn't look like M2D will be going on to the Zest then, I can only find a fairly old version for VGA which the author says eats memory.
Thanks for your help anyway!

best non-touchscreen browser

what browser would you say is the best for non touchscreen devices?
My favorite was Iris browser, sadly they stopped supporting it. Many people like skyfire, however it always hangs at "connecting" for me. Finally opera mini 5 looks great however it isn't native so I always have to lauch it through java and accept that the data connection may cost... and it doesn't like the keyboard on my htc rose.
any suggestions?

Opera Mini 5 beta is by far the finest, all ur issues can be resolved, for instant launching and a signed one so it doesnt ask u everytime u launch for connection, download and install the .jad from Opera Mini 5 Beta (Signed).zip one from stylez >>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4567823&postcount=43
Also the zip have the shortcut and icon dll to launch it, place the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu and the dll in \Windows.
before installing this remove the other Opera 5 installs and any other .jad or .jar of opera on ur device.
for keyboard issue, disable Inline Editing in Settings > Advanced, this is made for keypad phones.
And for a super browsing experience, turn on Fullscreen mode.

I would agree- Opera Mini is one polished browser.

Haha it is quite ugly, the attached dll has a much cleaner icon, based on WM 6.5 icons in ookbas ROM. just replace the file.
great thanks!!
I'd like to have 2 more things fixed:
1. the clock is wrong, how do I set it right?
2. when I press the hang up button to exit the browser, the next time I want to use it, I need to press "continue" to keep using the java program. Is there any way to avoid this "continue" dialog?

How to change font in TCPMP 0.81

Hi there,
I runnin tcpmp on samsung omnia, everything works well, I can seen subititles as well. The problem I can't change the font. I open settings and go the subitle page, there I see font: tahoma. I put another font into "my storage" or windows folder, try to type path there like /my storage/font name but nothing happens.
Can someone guide me? here is the tcpmp version I use.
Any ideas?
copy your font in \Windows\Font, NOT in Storage card, type font in TCPMP and it would be effective.
