Increased Battery Life Tweak - Touch Pro, Fuze General

I'm trying to do the increase battery life tweaks shown in the Wiki. I've cut and paste the information below. I do not have an Irsir1 directory in my Sprint Touch Pro. Am I supposed to create one for use with this or do I not need it?
TIA

Hello perdurabo2,
Could you please direct me to an existing thread asking this very same question? I'd appreciate it, because I searched the Raphael area for a while and couldn't find one.
Also, I'd like to understand what you mean by 'random comments'. I thought this was clearly a question. Hopefully, you can help me with proper forum etiquette.
Thanks!

bump please ...

These are all available in advanced config found here http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool.html

Well said.
I dont understand why someone would waste time typing "go search" instead of helping people out. Isnt this forum made to help?

Someone was helped in a previous post, so I believe it is perfectly fine to tell someone to search. By searching and not creating a redundant post helps keep the board "tidy" for future questions to be easily answered versus creating a new thread.
Take the kaiser section for instance, its full of redundant post's. Wich is typical when a new device has a major release by just about all major networks worldwide. But no disrespect it just gets old when you answer a question millions of times. Like my numerous "lessons" on how to use media net instead of pda personal. I spent much time teaching, and almost 1 year later people still ask how to do this.

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.

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:
http://www.google.com/search?as_q=c.../forum.xda-developers.com&as_rights=&safe=off

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=248409
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308773
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.

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.

Chefs - How Do You Cook Registry Tweaks?

Newbie who has evolved from basics to cooking solely with the great information that is included here (and the great tools). Haven't asked any questions in anything but the accessories sections until now - hope I don't start with a stupid one. Do my part by answering most questions that I can and I have searched for literally hours on this without finding a definitive answer (I swear I'm not too stupid).
How do the great chefs cook their registry settings in? Do you edit the hives during the cooking process every time? Seems like there should be an easier way than how I am doing it and I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere. It takes me forever to export the files and edit them to my liking only to have to cook another version 20 minutes later to fix some custom package issue. I've looked everywhere for the right solution...tried everything from manually editing to using Settings Savior, etc and nothing is the answer I'm looking for. Not very advanced as a programmer, but should understand enough to figure this out. I like most of the changes suggested by KaiserTweak and want to integrate them plus some others (the WiFi registry edits for the Comm Manager, etc.). Is a provisioning.xml file the answer? My ROMs are generally just for me - but I have had one or two people ask to try them and I hate that you still have to tweak so many settings (via KaiserTweak, etc.) after flashing to get them the way I really want them. Thanks much for any help you can give me.
Actually - one other question. Now that I'm to this point I'd like to start making some donations to those that have created the tools that have made it possible for me. What is a standard donation? Don't want to offend either way. Thanks again.
Bump. I know I didn't wait long, but it made it to page 3 overnight.

Anything you choose to donate or can afford. Average is about $20, I've seen as low as $5 and as high as $50.

In the future, if you want a timely response, I suggest you reply to an existing thread. It seems most folks (including myself) use the thread subscriptions tab in the user control panel, so we read the threads we're tracking first, and if we have time, we look at the forum for new threads. Otherwise, your thread will be lost in the shuffle...
Hope this helps!
Alex - thanks a lot....for everything you do. You're exactly who I was referencing when I thought of my first donation. Love your work/help here and your work on the Kitchen is the reason I can cook. Sorry I asked something that you'd answered - I thought I read every post in your latest Kitchen thread (actually most of your threads) multiple times. Been looking for this answer for a while.
BTW - my girlfriend works for IBM and we are up in your area quite a bit. Nice place to live.

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.

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.

stupid question but..

Cheers,
Its great, except this is the questions and answers section, saying google it (without even a proper answer in the list) doesn't necessarily get the job done.
"set ringtone ppc" does the job proper. Everyone knows where google is, they probably used it to find this site. The Purpose of the q&a section is not to promote google traffic. If you are going to refer someone somewhere, please make sure you refering them to exactly the right place.

I wasn't planning on using it in the Q&A Section of course -
Being a team player!
But it will be fun to use in other cases sometimes. I will of course change the auto google search to be relavant to the topic of discussion and make sure that it directs to helpful links. All in fun

I know with my device - Audio Manager has the feature to set MP3 as ringtone.
You can follwo advice above also - . I suggest using a trimmer program to cut the MP3 to save space on your device though.
Another cool app you might want to take a look at for MP3 ring tones is the mp3 ringtone randomizer found at this link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=370527
just direct the program to the specified folder with your mp3 ringtones and it will automatically randomize your ringtone for each call. I love this.

Its great, except this is the questions and answers section, saying google it (without even a proper answer in the list) doesn't necessarily get the job done.
"set ringtone ppc" does the job proper. Everyone knows where google is, they probably used it to find this site. The Purpose of the q&a section is not to promote google traffic. If you are going to refer someone somewhere, please make sure you refering them to exactly the right place

Sorry, just trying to be funny, but the first link in the list tells him how to set an MP3 as a ring tone, and the second link in the list tells them how to set a message alert. First two links answered both his questions. What could be better than that ?
This is question and answers, but even so, come on . That is Cell phone 101 , read the manual, do a site search ( I have seen that question a hundred times ) make an effort. In some countries they prohibit you from ever owning a PDA again, for those questions.
Just , seriously, for clarification, are those the types of questions that Q & A forum is for ?
Yup - Any and every member needs to feel that they can ask any question - no matter what - even extreem "Noob" questions in the Q&A section without being flammed. It is asked that every member respect this and if answering a question in the Q&A Section that you don't just say "Search" or "Read the WIKI" but at least provide links to WIKI if you are referring to this. I personally don't see the harm in the link you provided "although funny" serves two purposes. You didn't flame the OP for asking silly question but provided a useful (and funny) link that pointed him in the right direction to answer his question and aslo made a statement that a simple search would have answered the question. I see no harm in that either as there are a lot of people who do not take the time to search for themselves or they just don't know what keywords to use in the search field. (You also provided hints on what kind of search words to use) When I answer questions in the Q&A Section, I Provide links to where they can find their answer to their question or just sometimes answer it right there it it is an easy question; however, after answering I sometimes point out that searching using certain keywords would have yielded results (I like your way better) There are a lot of questions asked that seem rather simple and "Noobish" to us, but to beginner's they need to be shown how to properly use this forum sometimes and I think that the Q&A section is a wonderful thing for everyone because, there is so much to learn and it can be very overwhelming especially for new commers.
This should work for you...
Following the raptious support and humiliation ive suffered, i guess i can only blame myself for not only including what phone i have (htc touch hd) but more so not taking the time to research such questions properly!
Unfortunately i havent had 5 mins to myself to play with all areas of the phone, but now ive managed to sort the ringtone situation out, aided by the mp3 trimmer!
I guess its easy for those high up on knowledge to look down and laugh when you dont know jack, but hey done now, although saying that, i cant find where i can possibly delete some of the ringtones/beeps that come as standard, maybe someone could help me out there? again would be appreciated.

Firstly, have a sense of humor dude, or you won't last very long here
Secondly, find those files in your ringtone folder with file explorer, or in your windows folder, file explorer>my device>windows your files will be in there.
I did laugh at some of the replies mate dont worry, and thank you for your help though, i did try deleting the tones but kept coming up "error deleting file" so i cant delete anyway but thanx

The " base " ringtones that come with the rom, are written into the rom and cannot be deleted. All other tone and notifications can be added and deleted anytime.
alright cheers, but i set couple songs to be ringtones, ive since deleted them from windows media library and on file explorer on the phone, but still they show up as available to choose as a tone????
Yes but did you delete them from the /windows folder, that is where they are played from.
Then Soft reset.
yep i did that, and still there available to choose as tones!

Problem with ATPlugininstaller....

I have an interesting problem with ATPlugininstaller.
I installed chome editor v1.6 on my wm6.5 device.
At first it was working fine, and I created 2 plugins using it.
THEN, I decided to add the "day of the week" to the clock panel, by placing code directly in the titanium.cpr files.
Well, the weekday was added successfully, BUT now, I CAN'T use chome editor to create new panels, and I CAN'T install any plugin that uses the ATinstaller.
Whenever I try to do either, I get:
"An unexpected error occurred in ATplugininstaller
ATplugininstaller.exe unauthorized access exception
At System.IO._Error.WinIO error()
At System.IO.FileStream..ctor
At System.IO.FileStream..ctor
At System.Xml.XmlTextWriter..ctor
At System.Xml.XmlDOMTextWriter..ctor
At System.Xml.Xmldocument.save
At ATPlugininstaller.Main.AddLayout to cpr()
At ATPlugininstaller.Main.Main ()
As I said
, I get this same message when I try to create a new panel or add any cabs that require the plugin.
However, the panels I already created and the plugins I already installed still work fine.
My question is, why? My manually adding the code into the cpr files to show "day of the week" on the cclock panel is no different than the entries the installer makes when I install a plugin, or create one using Chome editor.
I know, I've looked thru the cpr file content. So, why does the installer crash AFTER I add the code for "day of the week" to the cpr files?
Can someone please help? Thanks.
Moved, nothing to do with development.
Ok then where do I put it? The ATplugininstaller thread IS in this developmen section, so I beg to differ with you.
I put it out here after getting no response to my inquiry in that thread.
This is one responsive board, out of 10 or so inquiries I've posted, I've only received 2 responses, all from from the author of one sw.
This is a real HELPFUL board,, I've got to say.
And, my inquiry, to remind you, HAS to do with development because I'm creating panels in Titanium using xml.
If the particular sw in question is in this section, then my inquiry as to why it crashes deserves to be here.
I guess it doesn't matter, the members on this board are of no help whatsoever. It's a waste of time to even post.
If I sound frustrated, it's because I am. I have no desire to get flamed, but I need help, and no one even answers.
No need to get frustrated .
Your thread does not belong to the development and hacking forum, that foum is please read the rules of D&H here.
Someone can only help you if they know the solution to your problem, no need to blame the users or the forum itself. Posting in the wrong section will not be helpful to you and will add to our work.
And if you really think posting here is a waste of time, why bother posting ?.
I have moved your thread to Q&A forum, which is regularly visited by developers and people with great knowledge in this field, patience is the key; not blaming the users of the board or being sarcastic.
As far as development goes, you are welcome to post your work ( pannels for titanium ) when they are ready, but not questions.
Hope you calm down, and not repeat such bursts of frustration. You could consider this a warnning.
Please read this carefully:
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones.

I do understand your need for help, but calm down and have patience, try searching or contacting XML writers/developers.
Hope you co-operate.
Understood. I had to do some venting because of all the nonresponses. Can you at least tell me where you moved my post, or did you just delete it? Thank you.
Thank you for your co-operation.
It has been moved to question and answers senction under the general section.
Many people come by here, surely someone will answer; if they have a solution.
madnish30.
just try it with TICS instead of ATPluginInstaller
(link in my signature)
there you don't need a hardcoded .plg and you have the possibility for pre-/postinstall scripts.
Also more definite error message, if you get in trouble.
