Many Thanks

Unhappy O2 Customer
Myself and my partner also recently updated our roms on our O2 Xda stellar, The flash went well for both of us, it was the after effect of realising there is no sliding home screen with the O2 release of this rom.
Im going through every file on our phones trying to see if its just hidden?
but so far nothing has turned up.
If anyone has managed to find a way to enable the sliding home screen please will you get in contact with me and post it here for everyone please.
Thank you

Hello there
I understand that the sliding panel home screen is available on non-touch smartphonedevices, although you may read it as a realse component of WM6.1. Bad wording I guess as it is a little confusing.
Regards.

Thanks
Thank you for the fast reply,
I feel slightly cheated by this but hey thats the way it goes. it would be quiet difficult for it to work with the size of the screen on the stellar but it would still of being a nice addition.
Thank you again for the response.
Simon Tasker

Well, to be honest I replied to this as I too was wondering where this feature was.
But hey, look at it this way, you have not lost any features!
In fact, since I got my XDA Stellar in nov 07 I have been using SPB Pocket Plus which offers more flexibility than what I believe Slidin home offers. Check out the Tabs on which you can add any file, program or even a whole plugin as I have the HTC Home plugin.
I've not seen first hand what Sliding Panel is like but Im very satisfied with this set up on mine and maybe this is helpful for you in achieving the same flexibility of customisation and personal taste. All of what you see is just from Pocket plus being ticked in the today screen items collection list.

Ok stupid question as there doesn't seem to be a manual for this on the XDA site.
When installing this, does it over-write any files? ie am I going to have to re-install and re-configure all my software? I just want to know before I do this while away from a net connection.

I'll try this later tonight - I presume that with a rom upgrade all installed programs will be wiped. Whats the best way to save the programs so that I don't have to go through installing them again (if thats possible)

Indeed...everything is wiped and all the data too.
I used SPB Backup which worked well in the end. I made a few mistakes during the restore process that made it much more of a time consuming headache than it should have been but I think I got back to where I want to be. Ringtone assignments and contact picture assignments were not restored but that may have been my error rather than the fault of the software.

Sure, I have backup software, but I shall look at this as an opportunity to flash and re-install. Had just better make sure I do all required syncing first

The new ROM. On the O2 site it implies it won't nuke your stuff. Sure it says...
In order to ensure that important files and data do not go missing from your Xda during the software download process, please save them to your PC first before you begin. You'll then be able to reload them onto your device after the software download process is complete.

but that could be read as it might go tits up and break your files, but you'll otherwise be ok. It also doesn't mention 3rd party applications.

Whenever you flash a new ROM the handset gets formatted. Any data on the handset will be lost. If you want to keep anything, transfer it to the memory card first......

Will 'Touch Settings' Program from Elf work for Polaris?

Is the 'Touch Settings' program a posible alternative for changing which programs are called up by the Videos and the Music button within the cube or is it specific to the Elf?

I'd really like to use CorePlayer for Videos, etc.

yea im pretty sure it'll work. dont have a device though to make sure
Nope, I tried it (all versions) and it won't even install - I get the "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" error message. Maybe someone will modify this app for the polaris - it seems like it would be useful since HHC doesn't customize the cube and this does.
** Bump **
I'm another Polaris user (well, it's on pre-order at the moment). This 'Touch Settings' program sounds like exactly what I was hoping to be able to use.
Is there any chance the program can be adapted to work on the Polaris? Can anyone hazard a guess from psargent's "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" when installing error message as to what the problem might be since I realise that it isn't reasonable to expect people like the author of this program to have every device at their disposal but if possible fixes can be suggested then maybe it can be fixed "blind"? I for one would be more than happy to validate any possible fixed version on a real device.

Mine is on pre-order as well, and I would love to see this....
PoorlyDuck has some inspiring skins, and then there is this post, on a different site, that changes the cube to six sided.

I have posted a few different times to Carlos in the "Elf" forum regarding this topic. Unfortunately he has not responded. It would be nice to use this program versus making the neccessary adjustments to the registry manually. Just a note that permissions error I also received when trying to load to my Touch.
*Bump*
This would be great on the TC. I have found a few registry settings that look easy to change (for the 6 icon side), but a complete program would be better. It would be nice to have the media hub customized as well.

Nope
Hi all,
I´ve got a German Orbit 2 aka TC and as far as I can see it doesen´t work. After installing all necessary files manually (due to rights-limitations) I can start the programm, but it doesen´t recognize my MediaMinihub. I can change the Phoo/Video/Music cube-side, but that´s it.
Maybe its because I got a German ROM...?
sorry for that.

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.
The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Steps to take to try and cure this problem are:
1. The device may be app locked, you need to download a program called Device Security Manager, then with your Polaris connected to Activesync, disable all the security:
Look at this web page for more info.
2. Also, try installing the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)
3. Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.
Please can somebody try all the above with the NEW VERSION 2.22 OF TOUCH SETTINGS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&goto=newpost)
If it doesn't work, I will upload a ZIP file of the individual files and we can try a manual installation.
Best

PS: I don't know an awful lot about security certs and device provisioning, so if any other developers can point me to a way of making the CAB install on the Polaris, please do.

Thx anyway for your great application.

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you hard reset your device, your cube should revert to normal. If you are unwilling to hard reset your device, then if somebody could post a registry dump from a Polaris (clean, hard reset device) then I can post a fix CAB for you!

It works
Thanks Carlos, the 2.22pre version works very nice on my Couise.
I have only question:
If I try to change APLauncher layout I get a mesage "It seems that your HTC Touch Software is not recent....", but I can change the apps grid. What the message exactly means? There is any newer HTC Touch Cube version than what is on Cruise installed?
Tnx

Upgrade to WM6.1

I dont know how to tell what version I am running but I know its something in the windows mobile 6 area. How can I check then upgrade if needed my windows mobile version number?
I want to use Dutty's new ROM but I believe that I dont have the right windows mobile right now but I am not sure. I just got this phone a few days ago, so stock everything.
One last quick question will I have to update my radio, and would that effect how my wireless company treats me (Att is evil)

You don't have Windows Mobile 6.1 on your Tilt. The tilt comes stock with Windows Mobile 6.
First I would advise you before anything to read the first thread, specifically the one dealing with HardSPL. Before you flash to Dutty's ROM make sure that you have HardSPL flashed. After that you can flash to whatever ROM you want.
If you do decide to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 you will need to flash to a new radio. There is also a sticky for this with download links and location. Your best friend at this time would be the Kaiser Wiki, which is also located in the first thread. I would highly advise that you take an hour and read up on how to do everything that your asking and familiarize yourself with the techniques of flashing / upgrading.
...and to answer your last question, no updating your radio would not effect your service with AT&T the evil empire
How would I upgrade to WM 6.1
Also I just finished with flashing HardSPL

if you indeed have hardspl now, then pick a 6.1 rom and 6.1 radio and have fun configuring.

If you would like to try dutty's just download the ROM from the listed locations in the 1st thread. There are a couple to choose from. I would also highly advise you to read through the second post. This gives you a lot of information about configuration, best results, before and after flashing. Also gives you some detail on how to configure your device. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Here is a link for Dutty's WM6.1 official ROM. http://www.4shared.com/file/3801940...ial_WM611_Release.html?dirPwdVerified=1f45688
Hard SPL Issues
I've been reading all of these threads for the past month(over 30 hours). I downloaded the HTC Kaiser, and the HTC home plug in, but after downloading the new 6.1 I can no longer get access to the internet which is imperative. I've downloaded the HardSPL and I deleted everything else, and once again I can't get to the internet. What am I doing wrong? Please help, I'm about to go on travel and I really need the internet. If I will be forced to use this basic brick without all the luxuries, I guess I will have to, but I don't want to.

Which ROM do you currently have installed? Have you tried any of the configuration cabs. Which mobile service provider do you have?
I have the new 6.1 rom, I downloaded duttys new 6.1 release and it still did not work. I've had tons of cabs, Schen, schaps, etc... & I have at&t
After the new 6.1 nothing will work anymore, I can't even get WiFi, I even went to the extreme of returning the phone to AT&T today because I swur it was the device and not the software
I think I'm about to go nuts, I've read the ALL Wiki, I've read Modaco, I've read the 1st sticky post, I've read the HTC support forums, but I can't get this thing to work properly.
bump, sorry but I need the internet, and it's urgent! Someone please help

Does any of your sound work? Does your camera work. The only reason I ask this is that you might have a radio problem.
If you do have sound...then try to install this cab.
http://shogunmark.com/Documents/shogun_cing.cab
yes the sound works, I just can't connect to the internet. I was able to listen to my music with and without the headphones today. Please help with the internet issue, that's all I need right now, I can worry about the sound later...
Go to start ->settings->connections->advanced->select networks
Make sure the programs are supposed to connect through media net. Once you've selected media net, hit edit, then click the proxy settings tab. Uncheck uses proxy server.
That should fix it, if there isn't even a media net option, you need a cab to fix it.
I've done all this, I've actually sat on the phone with tech support for 2 hours today resetting the internet connections, and it still did not work, hence me returning the phone for a replacement today.
Trust me you guys, I've done all the basic fixes...
What version of radio do you have? There might be a better way to check it, but the easy way is to reboot the phone, it's the number next to the R
I've done a SR and a HR. The HR is the only thing that brings me back to getting access to the internet, which is the only thing that works, however it removed all of my add-ons

that tells me that one of the cabs you installed had some ill effect on your settings. try the internet after each cab you install and that way you can find the culprit causing you problems.

Manilla 2D in HTC Wizard

Has anyone installed the Manilla 2D in HTC Wizard running a Windows Mobile 5?
I tried installing it in mine and after the restart, the HTC Home plugin vanished altogether and there was nothing else.
On checking the Today items, there was no Touch Flo listed nor the HTC home plugin I was using earlier was listed.
A quick check in the registry showed the entries for Touch Flo (and also for the vanished HTC home) present under the Today registry entries.
Does this thing work on WM5 at all?
Am I missing something?
NOTE: I also installed the shared dll cab file.

This is now a Wizard thread.
Well here's what i'll be testing this weekend.
As i placed the new shared dll's into the rom i got no double file notice while using build OS.
So that means the files weren't there to begin with.
Which propalby means it's missing some registry entries to those files (besides the ones in the RGU file)
So that's the first thing to try.
After that it's comparing and comparing.
Volume did not work Start menu and Title bar did work.
Nice kitchen by the way makes a fast little rom so J.VD. Great simple Oem Pack, it's been two years since i cooked myself my own wizard.
No let's see if there's still some of the old Wizard Folk checking this forum, that have now turned cook that also want to return home.

Nice, new serious topic for wizard.
Nice to see you here Noonski. i Hope porting its possible.
For my opinion : Manilla2D crash because DLL is missing or REg key is missing.
i will definitely be watching this .
hope it goes well
nice job in advance
waiting for the ROM
Really need to do some reading up first.
I'm thinking of using the Ext Rom a little bit differently.
Like move Some of the Skin files that don't need to be there.
Haven't seen that been done before
Just an idea, never tried it.
As for M2D at the moment, i would not bet on it. (don't want to set impossible standards at the moment)
That would really need Dfereira's experience for when he ported HTCHome to WinMob 5.
Maybe i can help.. If you need me PM me.
I'm also trying my best here and I'm trying some drivers from elf to see if it makes any differants.. we'll se how it goes and if I get anywhere it will also work on prophet

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

[CAB] Documentstab WWE/GER/NLD/SPA (MANILA)

Hi all, I decided to close my thread in Windows Mobile Software Development and move it over to the HD2 section.
Documentstab in WWE/GER/NLD/SPA, (Manila Document Browser v2.5.20174010.0)
Pictures see post 2 thanks to poyensa.
All those cabs are tested on:
Laurentius26 Platinum Series v3.7 23148 [Full rotation] ~WWE|GER|NLD|SPA~
and the Dutch cab is also tested on the stock rom, both rom's don't have any problems with installing the cabs.
Be aware I don't take any responsebility if something goes wrong but I can always trying to help.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE INSTALLING THE CAB, JUST DELETE THE FOLDER "Application Data" ON YOUR STORAGE CARD OTHERWISE THE DOCUMENTS ON YOUR STORAGE CARD CAN'T BE FOUND.

This seems to be a very useful addition, but so few comments on the thread? I don't have an "Applications Folder" on my Storage Card. Is that usual? And an original Telstra stock rom, - what think ye Maistros? Thank you.

Hi Gavinci, first of all really thanks for your comment , maybe I have to work on my thread post to make it more clearer for everyone.
If you don't have an Applications Data folder on your storage card you don't have to delete it , the Applications Data folder is just a temporary folder for some apps, after deleting the folder the system will create a new one.
I didn't test it on other roms as mentioned in my first post but I'm pretty sure it will work on your original Telstra stock rom.
Greetz,
What fun
Your cab installed fine, and booted up as normal, so I was hopeful. But no docs showed up. After running "remove" there remained: changes to the internet slider icon;inaccessible settings; inaccessible people's tab, and inaccessible sms. I had to clear out some stuff, so a hard reset was okay. Perhaps this App not so good for the Telstra stock ROM All the best to you.

Thanks Gavinci, I'm gonna switch from WP7 back to WM 6.5 (I just started to gonna hate to take my charger always with me ) and see if I can solve this issue, I made those cabs about 6 months ago and made them only for the Laurentius rom's so that would be the reason it change the tab order when you used the Remove_Doctab.cab, so for now I'm gonna remove the Remove_Doctab.cab in my first post and gonna search for a Telstra stock rom to take a look why it isn't working on that rom.

Thank you Rataplan, As you may be aware, we Six-Point-Fivers are referred to now as "zombies". This apellation while playfully sinister also refers to the "undying". I prefer to think of us as the longest lasting SPFs on the planet. SPF was I think a real blossom in the spring of the mobile tech tree, and the HTC HD2 will be in there with the mummies and stone axes, and the antikythera for future generations to marvel at. I hope your Easter has been humming.
Thanks for sharing.
I was always upset that most Sense tabs didn't display correctly when rotating.
I'm using the same version already, so I'll just have to compare the Mode9 and LUA sources. I'm also glad I won't have to spend time ont translating to French, as it's done already.
It should help me to modify the other non-rotating tabs as well, such as Internet, eReader, Footprints and Facebook tabs.
I'd also like to try to make the Music tab show the coverflow layout when Manila is set to rotating (it displays a landscape variant instead).
Comparing your version and mine should lead me to how to do to detect rotation and trigger the second layout.
I'll also try to add the missing alphabetic index on the right side of HTC contacts list in landscape mode : there's not much room, but MS Contacts has it, so it can be done !

Nice said Gavinci, ok I'm an SPF-er again and did some tests with the Telstra rom and I can't get it running on your Manila version, I'll keep on searching for a solution but for now, sorry.

To tell you the truth I was working on the French translation but a hardware failure on my pc and a lack of time it made me stopped.
If you wanna make the cab in French you only have to replace these files:
* 0C06EB31_manila
* 4E262382_manila
* 7F87B872_manila
* 071C3DE0_manila
* 26948339_manila
* 53616858_manila
And don't forget the DocExplorer_pages.
Goodluck and keep me informed.
Greetz,
Actually, as I'm currently using the same version, it's done already, as I said.
I'll just compare your scripts and make a mix...
I don't really have time right now, but I may do this next week end.
Mode9 scripts comparison is easy using M9Editor, but I'll have to uncompile the LUA scripts first, as M9Editor can't do that properly (it usually just crashes as soon as you click on them, and it doesn't have a comparison feature for them anyway).
