Hi,
Originally posted in the Universal forum, but no response. So am trying here in case anyone has had any similar issues.
After installing and then removing SMAATO news reader I have lost my windows mobile 2nd boot screen.
I know its called welcomehead.192.png and is located in Windows
The file is still there in ROM and I have also copied it across into Windows again (solution offered by searching through other threads). However when I soft reset after the Orange screen, all i get is a white screen.
Can anyone let me know how to restore, I believe other users have had issues with pss reader too.
Thanks in advance. (My device is the M5000)

Having the same "problem" from the same cause for the last 2 months.....got used to it though, since it does not affect functionality....
white screen
Sorry can't help but I have exactly the same problem due to the same cause on Prophet (SPV M600) so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have contacted SMAATO, so will let you know.
Other users have had same issue with PRSS Reader and for them, when they uninstalled the reader, their splash screen came back.
Matt
white screen
cheers - look forward to hearing. Wonder if it's coincidence that we're both uk orange? You'd think there would be a reg tweakt hat would point to the second screen to load.
SMAATO replied and said they are looking into it!!
I read from some people that installing PRSS Reader also causes this issue - but that uninstalling restores the boot screen. I tried this but it didnt restore my screen.....and the uninstaller didnt remove the PRSS app completely - resulting in more searching on the web to find out all of the files/reg keys to get rid of.
I do wonder to myself why I installed SMAATO/PRSS in the first place!!
Matt
Thanks for getting back - no doubt it will be hard reset which I dread!
Have you tried that? or doesn't even that help.
If there's any chance of you listing the files/reg entries to delete I'd appreciate that as I had same problem & simply searched ppc for anything with somaato in it, so I'm sure I've still lots of cr*p left on it.
cheers
Hard resetting does restore the boot screen, however restoring a backup will give you the same behaviour - unless that backup is from before SMAATO deinstallation

Hi,
In your post you mentioned about manual uninstall. I dont know about SMAATO that uninstalled OK, but for PRSSReader - to perform a manual uninstall:
1. Disable today plugin, if it is active
2. Delete registry keys:
HKCU\Software\DaProfik\pRSSreader
HKLM\Services\pRSSreader
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\pRSSreader
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\David Andrs pRSSreader
3. reboot the device
4. delete files:
\windows\AppMgr\David Andrs pRSSreader.dll
\windows\David Andrs pRSSreader.unload
\windows\zlib1.dll
\windows\libexpat.dll
\windows\prssrtoday.dll
\windows\prssrenc.dll
\windows\prssrsrv.dll
<installation path>\pRSSreader
Hope this helps.
Matt
Since I got some ActiveSync-problems, I tried cleaning out my device and finally found the cause of the white boot screen:
Older versions of pRSSreader install a zlib.dll to \Windows\ overwriting the built-in one. Now I just renamed that to zlib1.dll (couldn't delete, because it was in use) and on my next reboot: voilà - there was the 2nd boot screen again!!
Newer versions of pRSSreader install the file as zlib1.dll.

Nice one mbirth you're a star - worked no problem!
Just curious - Do you know what zlib is? and is it safe to delete it now it's renamed and soft reset?
Thanks once again
P.S. I now have zlib.dll; zlib1.dll; AND zlibce.dll !

I can also confirm that it works brilliantly!!
With regards to getting rid of the old file - I renamed zlib.dll to zlib1.dll. After my device booted correctly I moved the zlib1.dll to my storage card and all is still ok. If you have something like total commander, after showing ROM files the zlib file is listed in the windows directory. If you hide them - then you shouldnt see any zlib.dll files - unless another application has installed them, but a clean device will only have the zlib.dll in ROM
Hope this helps.

zlib = gzip-compression-library. See Wikipedia. I guess the deflate-algorithm used for PNG files was faulty or missing in the pRSS-version of zlib. With deleting that file, you have the original built-in version back active.
If you already have the newer version of pRSSreader, you might want to rename the file to something different than zlib1.dll since pRSSreader 1.3 already installs a zlib1.dll.
After a soft-reset, you can safely delete the renamed file.

When you select a threaded conversation that has multiple unread messages and respond only one message is marked unread. In touchflo it still shows unread messages. You have to manually go to each message to mark them read. I know there is a fix for this, but I can't seem to find it.
I'm wondering this as well. I know it works fine on ROMeOS, but haven't had luck with others...

NATF says it's a bug in some of the Windows Mobile builds, particularly one based on a 20xxx build.
You need htmlnote.dll from an aku 1.3.0 ROM - it should be posted in both my thread and NATF's thread - click the paperclip icon to the right of the thread name, in the raphael rom forum, to view all attachments in the thread..

I looked at both those threads and didn't see the attachment for htmlnote.dll. Would you have a direct link? Thanks
I found a 20226 SYS and extracted the htmlnote.dll module. I just flashed it now and it looks to have solved the problem. Thanks!
hey would you mind posting that file and explaining how you flashed it over? thanks!

It is a module so you need to swap it out in the kitchen before you build the rom. There probably is a way to convert it to a dll, which you could make a cab out of.
Download SMS Unread Fix
thanks for the reply and link, but i honestly have no idea what to do with it, thanks anyway
would like some help making that work without having to reflash or anything?
I used recmod to convert the module into a file. It's in the download link above. You should be able to use total commander to copy and paste this into \Windows. Soft-reset and I'm assuming it will work.

Yes I updated the download link. Inside the zip there is an htmlnote.dll directory. Inside that is the htmlnote.dll that I made from the module. Place only the htmlnode.dll file in your \Windows directory and soft reset.
I tried this and the good news is it worked thanks. The bad news is that now on my sms icon it does not show new message qty when receiving a new message. I do get sound notification, but the voice cmd does not detect the txt and does not play. Any other suggestions,
edit by the way this is on a tilt.
Nevermind a second soft reset corrected the issue. thanks for providing this fix much happier now!

When I use this, I get a post 2nd-reset side effect - emails won't open. I can see them, but when I select them via the D-pad or stylus/finger, nothing happens.
SMS still works ok.

im also wondering how to make it work... dont have any idea for now...
I recently upgraded to 2.1 (with root....thanks regaw and unrevoked!)....
However, upon reinstalling apps, I cannot find Mabilo Ringtones in the Market. Does anyone have the apk for it?
Thanks in advance!!
jamierob
Same thing here. I can't find it for 2.1 and I couldn't find it with a Moto Cliq running 1.5. Looks like it was available for 1.6 only maybe? Can't find the apk on my wife's 1.6 MT3G 1.2.
Found this for those looking...
http://www.mabilo.com/MabiloRingtones.apk
jamierob
thanks for the find there.....unfortunately, I'm just too much of a newb to understand how to handle ZIP files in this manner. It isn't one I can update from the SD card and it isn't just an APK installer as the link would suggest. Can somebody put me on the right path? I actually have another ZIP file like this for app that I'd like to get installed as well.

On your phone, go home > menu > settings > Applications > (check the box for) Unknown Sources.
Go to this link in your PHONE'S web browser
http://www.mabilo.com/MabiloRingtones.apk
Then click it in your downloads list, to install.
thanks! Now i need to find the other app and get that one. I knew I must be missing something simple - which always kills me.
Interesting . . . Firefox calls mabilo.com a reported attack page.

Do you have a stock ROM or Custom ROM?
Download a stock ROM and extrakt the stock icons with cfc_gui.
thanks for reply both..im running stock v1.72..i recently changed my slider but it wasnt how i expected so i want to revert bk to original until i find another..is there a cab hanging about? if there is i cant find it !

I don't remember me see a thread fore the original slider (every Stock Rom have it, and everyone will have something els)
But when you say you have install a other Slider, but you aren't satisfied. Was it a cab file? If it is a cab file, just removed it; and it will bring you back to the original slider.
I't just a Idea; maybe it can be useful fore you.
Kurt thanks but i tried removing it then i get a services.exe error when i restart the device..

So you installed a cab and it won't uninstall? What cab was it? Try to reinstall it. If you have an error uninstalling, trying to reinstall the cab will usually complete the uninstall. If that doesn't work, if I know what cab it was I can figure out what files to extract to post them.
paten thanks but i think you misunderstood ..i have succesfully removed the unwanted cab but when i restart my device i have a system32.exe error(not services) so basically its missing a slider
It sounds like you have other problems then. When you uninstalled the cab successfully, your original slider should have returned. I would try to reinstall that cab again and then uninstall it to see if that fixed the problem. If that didn't work I would do a hard reset.
I know that this would be better served in his thread, but I'm a newby to posting althought I got one of the first Transformers, but I have just installed Clemsyn's new Ultimate and "My Cloud" seems to be missing. Just wondeing if anyone else has had this issue.
I have formatted everyting and of course formatted my external SD card in the process which of course had my titanium backup.. but I digress..
Anybody else have this issue.
FYI I'm sure this is just me and Clemsyn's Roms are the best in my opinion.. They make this thing fly.
I just did a factory reset and then re-installed a fresh download of his ROM so I'm now thinking it's just not me but that it's supposed to be gone? I really liked that Asus was including that..
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Open the stock zip up and look for the apk in /system. Pull the APK and put it on the TF and install it
Thank you very much for the quick response..
I downloaded the firmware and of course it hasn't been broken down so that you can edit it so I was unable to get to a /system folder.
Downloaded prime 1.9.1 and saw the .apk located there.
I enabled side loading to install it and when I try I get the blurb screen that says it's going to modify stuff and then I get
X Application not installed.
Any ideas? I PM'ed Clemsyn and haven't heard back yet, but I can only think this was excluded by accident as I wasn't able for find a reference for it.
Any ideas on how I can get it installed?
Thanks again.
Ha.. Saying that you have to install that APK made this seem WAY more complicated than it is. You simply have to drop it into the App folder and reboot the device... So easy to do that I'm actually ashamed I had an issue with it. ;-)
FYI a You Tube video showed the very simple steps.
Thanks ;-)
