ok, I've had my fuze since the day it came out and didn't do a thing right, I didn't even install a .cab until about a week ago because I didn't know how. I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to this type of stuff, so I'm here now asking for help. I just did a hard reset so I was back to factory settings, logged into here and starting posting this, I came here because you all seem really kind and genuinely willing to help morons like me. So I'm here asking: what should I do? Would someone be willing to write a list of all the things I should install (preferable in order) and even give a link to the thread where it was made (so we can read about it and properly thank the creators) because no joke, I messed something up and I would get a message popping up every minute or so, I couldn't download anything or do much, so I figured I'd restart the thing have have some people who actually know what they're doing help me out and give me a list of things to do, I'm sure I'm not the only one this would help
special thanks to those that've helped:
none yet, be the first =]
honestly all i can say is, read this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410159
follow those links, which will help u out tremendously..and u should be good to go.
if theres anything else u cant seem to find in those links..use the search funtion it HELPS SO MUCH!

thanks, also, I remember hearing that advanced configuration tool 3.3 is a great thing to download, however when I tried to find it I came up short, is this something I have to download via comp, then transfer? Or can I download it straight to the phone? because I'm on a road trip right now just sitting here trying to get my phone awesome
Advanced Config Link
I searched on "Advanced Config" and this link was the first hit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
You should be able to download the cab to your phone (or storage card) and just execute it.
Another good link for really getting your phone "right" is this one (which also has many of the CAB's you'll want/need): http://fuze.cassiebaby.com/
I'll note again, however, that you really need to spend some time familiarizing yourself with the search functions...most of the questions you'll have are answered (and you'll not draw ire of folks). And, per above post, spend some time reading the wiki's...

hey before anyone starts flaming me for no search i wanted to apologise beforehand. I did search, this is all foreign to me. I have an mda, interested in the windows mobile 6 platform but theres a few questions i had.
1 being is the processor fast enough to handle the os or is it gonna be even laggier than it is now?
and 2 is there any step by step how to guide from begining to end (with photos preferably), just taking your plain ole out of the box mda and putting windows mobile 6 on it. all this kitchen and cooking and frying, tornados and crossbow code talk doesnt make sense to me. thanks so much for reading, I dont mean to be a newbie about all this stuff, I just want someone who knows what theyre doing to tell me what its all about.
Welcome to the wonderful world of MDA flashing! Ok so you want to take your MDA and load WM6 on it. That is what we reffer to as "flashing, " so anytime you hear someone talk about flashing their device to "Core," "Pandora" or "Crossbow" they mean they are changing the operating system to that paticular "version" of WM6. They are all based off (more or less) the same WM6 ROM but just tweaked with some useful apps, and registry changes. Read about them in the XDA-Wiki page. As far as learning how to flash, there's a "sticky" (a post that remains on the first page) entitled "Howto flash a Wizard... a little tutorial!" Just follow that word for word and you should be fine. It's easy if you just follow the instructions and don't try to jump ahead. Good luck!
follow these directions.. and you should have no problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613. WM6 seems to be a big upgrade.. so i suggest it.. then take a look and see which new ROM you want.. there are many.. if you want just basics you want a Vanilla ROM, i reccomend ANTC's WM6 Professional 3.0.. or if you want fully loaded try Pandora (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310530) or Faria (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762). give it a whirl.. and if you need help, don't hesitate to IM or PM me.

awesome thanks so much for your help guys. I have a g4 mda, and from what I know i dont have to CID unlock it. im just trying to figure all this out. I dont think its as easy as downloading the rom utility update and downloading the rom... theres a million different tutorials and I dont know which one is the most current or the best. keep the replys coming though i appreciate it.

The group does a pretty good job of updating the info as new stuff gets released. Like I said earlier, most of your basic questions will be answered in the XDA-WIKI
see my signature, that's how it should work, no need for CID unlocking
the only "issue" with an G4 is that you only can flash the OS itself.

cooool, so i got it flashed after trying a million times, but i finally found a version that works, I keep getting errors here and there. last time i flashed it was giving me a checkautorun.exe error. I just flashed farias rom, and when I was doing it with shelltool my mda displayed a few errors which i just pushed ok. also after flashing, i get a dos app thats cmd.exe that i just close and right after i close that, shelltool says its done. it wont say its done UNLESS i close cmd.exe. also having big problems with the contacts. every time i push the contacts button, it never opens. any suggestions?
just got an error that said unexpected error occured in shell attempting to restart.
Are you unlocking your phone first? It might be easier for you to do if you find an unlocking utility for a g4.. or pay the 40 bucks to IMEI-check.com
nope no unlocking. no more silly errors, the only thing i cant do is open my contacts, (or sync them) it just says a device by that name already exists on this maching and i have to rename or be guest. im gonna reflash and see if it helps any. now does anyone know if when using shelltool i need to go back to the original tmo rom and do all that hooplah or can i just flash it like it is now?
I dont understand why you can't open your contacts... do this.. check 'settings' in start menu under 'system' and see if there is a application called 'softkeys' if there is then click on it and see if there is a \contacts.lnk path under the 'Contact'
i dont see contact.
nope, looked in windows folder where all the other .ink files are, and contacts.ink is not there.
it's actually not directly in the windows folder it's in 'windows\appbuttons'
Sorry, I was assuming you looked directly in the 'windows' folder..
ok found it. doing a soft reset now to see if it works...
keep me posted.
well its still doing the same thing... i push the contacts, the start button displays contacts for a second, theres an x in the corner then it just goes back to the normal screen.
hmn.. thats weird.. what happens when you go to 'contacts' from your start menu?
same. well see. I really like the wm6 os. Ive never flashed anything or messed with any phone, so this is all very new to me. I wish there was someone else that flashed a g4 without unlocking it first... grrr. heres something funny, sometimes when I restart it shows the GSM version other times its blank... I dont really care if I brick this phone, last week it was acting up and tmo is sending me a replacement. this was back before i was starting to mess with it, so i got a replacement on the way. lets hope its a g3
Mine does the same thing, sometimes it shows GSM sometimes it doesnt.. Thats pretty common. Yeah I paid to unlock mine, so I have no idea when it comes to a locked device.,
Hey,
I got my phone yesterday, i love it - but as i suspected it.. it is a bit complicated.
I want to get some games and softwares for my TD2, i havent looked at any softwares yet, im stuck at the games
I downloaded a few games from here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-xtrakt.html
It came in a rar, i extracted it on my computer and there were 6 different files in it, i dont know what to do with them.
I tried searching the forums, i found a few threads but everything is sead i dont understand. It feels like theres something everyone knows (a simple thing) and on top of that the conversation is going.
I dont understand anything.
If someone has a few minutes and could explain to me (from the beginning what to do) OR if anyone knows a guide, another post that explains from the start what to download where to find how to install, id be really greatfull.
Like how do i download these games ?

the file you download is probally a .cab, you need to put this file on your phone or sdcard and run it from there.
goodluck
Let me start by saying I searched the forums and google: "spell check," "spell check freezes," and others.
Only came up with one reference to a custom ROM...so here is the question.
When I'm in a text message and finished typing, I hit the spell check option and when it fizes the mis-spellings I hit send and...you guessed it...freezes the phone!
Is this a known issues (if so, like I said I search and will apologize ahead of time), but I'm curious to see if anyone else had any luck fixing...I like the feature but the feezes suck!
Just me then????
No one else has this issue on their Fuze?
I'm using the original ROM (it's been running fine!)
This happened since day one! I've hard reset with same results. Wondering if there is an issue similar to the xt9 issues where WM and HTC not playing nicely?
Anyway, can any test and try out...perhaps report back?
Hey, dont dispair! i have same problem too on a custom made ROM from kitchen. any experts listening please help
Breathe in...breathe out...
It's not end all but very frustrating! I am a horrid speller Even worse, I rarely proof read before sending...quick on the trigger...so this would be a good fix.
So i want to put themes into Pro but there's so many info.
i don't even know where to start. Can someone please help.
I don't understand how to put the TF3D into the active sync.
if someone can lead me to a step by step process it would be
helpful. thanks.
just another Noob
Do a full backup first. You'll be glad when you eff everything up (which is guaranteed, judging by your post, lol).
Just download the cabs directly to your phone over PIE or opera and click them. Try reading the install instructions first. This may come as a surprise, but reading won't kill you.
Please, please, please can someone talk me through exactly how to add the amazing clocks you can get for the HD2 on here?
I've downloaded but they just don't appear and it's driving me absolutely crazy!!!
I'm a beginner and want to learn
in the same boat, cant get anything to change!
Which clocks? Analog or digital? You will need Co0kies Home Tab installed to use the analog clocks.
God, why do these hi-tec people have to make things so difficult for us beginners!
You'd think they'd have like a beginners section where you can read 'walk-throughs' to get these clocks on your phone along with great wallpapers.
They do full 'walk-throughs' for games etc that must take weeks to make, but none for how to sort your HTC HD2 out!
What's cookies home tab???
Analogue clocks, like watches you'd wear etc, etc!
There's just no detailed info for beginners, I haven't got a clue what to do once downloaded onto my phone.
(now I have to wait 5 minutes between each post on here! This just gets harder and harder!)

Its all in here somewhere you just have to dig for it............
Analogue clock - You need Cookies home tab installed (click the cookiemonster link in my signature)
Install the clock cab file
Reboot your phone.......
Flip clock - Install cab, restart your phone......
ALWAYS INSTALL TO DEVICE MEMORY!!!!
My device memory is always too full (with what I do not know) but I have lots of memory card storage available.
Can I not download to memory card?
So I download and install something called cookies home tab?
Then download clocks.............
But what next please?
Just about every clock thread on this forum will tell you what you need if you read the original post all the way thru. Did you read the first sticky post in this forum before you started posting? The one that says read before posting? It has a link in it that will take you to the Co0kies Home Tab thread in the regular Windows Mobile development forum.

Chill mate, no need to get wound up! why would you wonna post every 5 minutes anyway?
In case you didn't know this is a developers forum, wich means that the everage member allready has some nowkledge about these things. But we where all beginners here and so was I. Nobody will help you if you're complaining, find out for yourself how to get these clocks to work, make a detailed walkthrough and post it here and help others!
These clocks and almost every other modd isn't easy to make and people who make them are doing it for free and you asking them to make a manual escpeccially for you?
This forum is all about trying, learning and doing and testing things yourself, do a search foor cookie hometab or maxmanilla, that is what you need for these clocks,
Man, some people.........
Clear out your device memory........
Get CHT......
Tweak your phone how you want it.....
Its all trial and error...................
Thought people might, just might, be helpful, which a few are being......Thanks anyway!
installing cabs is similar to installing software on your pc or laptop. you put in your storage card, then install it (tab on it) from there and then restart your phone. just start with any of this clocks (cabs) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654098 to familiarise with the process
hi all,
I have all the CHT etc... installed.
I cant install a new clock cause I have [StarView] Fall out clock installed, but I cannot install it. I guess cause its in use.
How do you uninstall old clocks?
Go to your settings tab and select applications>remove applications then scroll thru the list and select what you want to uninstall. Then hit Remove. You may have to soft reset to complete the uninstall.
Tried that, says not fully uninstalled but do you want to remove from the list anyway.
Will try again with a soft reset though and see what happens.

When this has happened to me I have found that if I try to reinstall the program again, it will actually uninstall it. Try that too.
I am one of the "guilty" guys. Actually, I did not include a specific description
on how to install a clock.
Why?
Because I have the feeling that you *must* learn what a cab is, but *before*
you do special things like mods and tweaks. I don´t have the time to write
complete user and interface instructions, my stuff is done in my free time,
and it´s available for free. Nobody is obliged to use that stuff, but I am
happy and proud if many do.
The title of my thread says "clocks for CHT". If anybody doesn´t know what
CHT means, the search function will quickly deliver the information.
Maybe because I kind of expect from buyers of a €500 device that they do have
some basic knowledge, I don´t include a description about how a cab works.
Also, I am surprised to see that many users don´t even read the original I/B
which is available on HTC´s homepage - it delivers a lot of basic information.
The xda forum itself is the best source I can imagine to get any information
anybody needs. You just have to take a little effort and search.
Even the instructions which are in my thread are not read correctly. In some
cases, I added a small "ReadMe" file, which is also not read - when I consider
the questions which come.
And this is where we finally end up: Even beginner´s questions are gently
answered in my thread. Some people ask questions through PM, which is
fine, too - but you have to ask.
nope, cannot uninstall it!
very bizzare, reinstalled again and reset, and now its gone!! lol
nevermind, I have the result I want!
