M2D on Omnia - General Questions and Answers

Hi There!
I have a question about installing M2D on my Samsung Omnia.
I tried it several times but no luck.
I moved the files from the .rar file to my phone, opened the Opera browser setup file but then the screen just stays white and nothing happens.
What do I have to do?
thanks

flash this

aha
sounds like you are making he same mistake I did.
The files you downloaded are cab files, NOT winrar files, windows is lying to you!
don't extract the archive in windows, just move the archive to your programs folder, then find it in File Explorer and open it then. It should install automatically.
It only took me 3 days to work that out... I must be a special kind of stupid

everyone else who has flashed is calling it a rom happily ae you flashing this to your phone because thats the only way to change the rom

Thanks for the replies guys.
Will try some things.
Will I be able to install this on my Omnia?
Looks very nice!

I installed all the .cab files (thanks to "benoki" for that, hehe )
and when I'm on the Today screen is says: Touch Here to open TouchFLO.
I do that and nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Manila 2d
I'm running a Manila 2D skin on my Omnia, but first I had to install 'SPB Mobile Shell', which is an application that lets you change things (google it, you'll get the company website). SPB mobile shell isn't free, but they do have a trial version to download, and then you can purchase a key if you want, around $30. Its also possible to find not so legal versions on most popular torrent sites, but of course that would be wrong to do. Up to you.
AFAIK, you need this program to run the decent M2D skins, the .cab file that you have is probably made for SPB.

Thanks benoki.
SPB Mobile Shell starts nicely. First downloaded it, but totally worth the money.
I will try some Manilla2D skins!
Update: TouchFlo still wont start...

Now that you have SPB mobile shell installed, you won't be using the previous M2D cab you installed. Take it off (the previous M2D), reset, then find yourself Greatbal's latest M2D skin, and drop that .cab file into the SPB folder, and run it.
Reset, and you should be done. you'll see the Today screen, and SPb will be showing on the bottom right of the screen, touch and go

WMP 10 skin gone?

For some unknown reason when I went to open WMP 10 today it said that no skins were found. I reset, same thing. I do NOT want to hardreset. When I Start WMP it just hangs on the "searching for Skins" screen and I cant get WMP to work.
Here is a list of image files from the "Windows" directory that I'd like a copy of:
landscape96.skn

Thanks!
i've zipped all those files for u
hope it helps
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!

T-Mobile and TouchFlow

Hey is anyone ever going to find a work around for the TouchFlo weather on T-Mobile network ? I heard something about proxy. Couldn't we just create a new connection or modify the registry. I REALLY MISS MY WEATHER INFO........
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319982&highlight=weather+proxy
Thank you. I had search several times using touchflo and came up empty.
Anyone get this to work other than install the cab? I've tried several times to cook it into a ROM, but all didn't work. Not sure what the problem is, the plugin installs, but doesn't show anything at all.
just watch the weather report.. mam..
I have a T-Mo MDA... To get Mine 2 Work I had to reinstall the HTC Home Plug-in and not use the one cooked in the rom
The HTCHome.dll file from the link above expects the images to be in \HTCHome not in \Windows so for now (until I learn how to cook a rom with stuff in places other than \Windows) I install the cab, then copy \HTCHome directory to \HTCHome2 then copy the HTCHome.dll to HTCHome2.dll then uninstall the cab rename \HTCHome2 to \HTCHome and HTCHome2.dll to HTCHome.dll and it works. Kinda of a pain, but at least the weater app works.

UPDATE - TCPMP for WM6.1 Sleuth & other 3.02 & 3.03 Versions 02/13/08

Revised 02/13/08
This is for anyone with TCPMP and/or Flash Video Problems using a 3.02 or 3.03 based WM6.1 ROM.
If I get a chance this weekend I will flash a 3.08 Version & see what I can find.
Ok, this time it's been tested by several others!!!! I have gotten it working for 8 out of 10 people & number 9 has TCPMP working, but not the flv yet. 8-1/2 out of nine ain't bad! Works 100% for Sleuth's V3.0!!!
This is working 100% for SLEUTH users!!!!! This is the instructions & files to get back your TCPMP & YOUTUBE & All the other .flv sites you used to have.
Not a sleuth user??? Give it a try! Has work for others with the new instructions!!!
This file includes detailed instructions & all the files you need!
This pack contains the lates TCPMP + FlashVideoBundle + the latest AAC & AC3 Codec plugins.
This has been confirmed working by others in Sleuths forum, but you must follow the instructions implicitly. You will need Resco or another high end File Explorer for this fix because you need to be able to select the "Always use this for this file type" check box as supported in resco.
Here is a RS premium Folder containing everything DL: http://rapidshare.com/users/NM7XYV
Here is a standard RS Mirror: http://rapidshare.com/files/91614567/TCPMP___FLV.rar
Mirror: http://www.sendspace.com/file/pl5h41
If you have questions about installation PM me. I can also help you via MSN Messenger if you have problems.
Nice work. I will test it out and see if I can get it to work. Will report back and let you know how it goes.
thank you so much. I am downloading as we speak
maybe someone can creat a cab for this.....
wow! nice work!
dumb question, but I cannot view my windows file on my phone with wm6.1

Thanks, I finally have the incentive to go to WM 6.1!

Great work GSLEON3.... Thanks for your efforts.
I am sure one of the nice talented cooks here would volunteer time to make a cab for most if not all of the commands here.
Guys, by mistake I duplicated some of the FlashVideo files. Won't make any difference, but it will take a little space from your SD card. As soon as I get a second, I'll post the ones safe to delete. (For noob's)
I'm sure most of you already figured this out.
I must doing something wrong.
Here is what it looks like.
/Storage Card/Program Files/TCPMP Media Player 0.81RC1Beta/
Under that folder I have.
/TCPMP
and
/Player
I copied to my /windows/start menu/program folder
player.exe
videosites.htm
videosites-clean.htm.
Sorry if I sound stupid but maybe I just don't understand what I am doing wrong. Site comes up fine but when I click on the video it doesn't work.
It loads the video on the webpage but it doesn't launch TCPMP
i also tried cooking it in and using it the way it is neither way worked both still yielded the crash.txt error
If you extract to you computer you should get The TCPMP beta file that contains the player file. This goes in \SD Card\Programs or whatever.
Then if you extract the FVB file you should get another file called TCPMP. This also goes in \SD Card\Programs. IT DOES NOT GO IN THE OTHER TCPMP FILE. They are seperate folders, seperate programs, so they get their own file in SD Card\Programs.
You make a shortcut to player.exe for your start menu. Now, if you extracted them on desktop & then moved the files over to PPC then inside the FVB file named TCPMP, you should have other folder. One called VIDEOSITE CLEAN. You make a shortcut to the cleansites .htm in the cleansites folder & again place the shortcut in your sart menu. If you unzip instead of extracting first you just get a jumble of file from each. That's why extract first; that way the folder structure stays intact.
As soon as I get my GD big USA *&%&#@ TomTom map I'll post my file structure if you still need it, but CE2's got me tied up at the moment.
Does TCPMP run by itself??? It's working great for me on Sleuth's 6.1
Is it just the FVB that's not working? Let me know so I can fix it!

LOL I'm lost...I give up. I'm not sure I understand this.
could you just show me how it would look in hierarchical scheme.
Like /Storage Card/Program Files/Player
/Storage Card/Program Files/TCPM
I guess I am not just understanding you clearly. Sorry It's a been a long day at work.
no tcpmp doesnt run by itself and the fvb doesnt present itself as usual in videosites when clicking on a video no popup menu is displayed, and when u try to run tcpmp player it crashes as usual with same error as initially reported

What ROM are you using????

ifonz not working

When iFonz tries to launch, error: An unexpected error has occurred in iFonz.exe. Select quit and then restart this program. Details:
iFonz.exe TypeLoadException at
System.windows.forms.form.onload(eventArgs e)

Any help with this is much appreciated, thanks.
i need help with this. i really wanna get this working
::UPDATE::
i just installed version 1.0.4 and it worked?????? I cant change any settings though
i still want the new version if someone can help
because inbetween 1.0.4 and 1.1.2 you ned to upgrade to .netcf 3
most phones now come with .netcompact framework 2.0 but ifonz 1.1.2 need 3.5 to work install this and get back to me
i do have 3.5 installed.
on the ifonz thread, i put the framework from the first link on my phone(not the multilanguage one)
the link for ifonz is an exe (not cab) i have downloaded from a couple differnt links and its always a .zip file with ifonz.exe in it
the best way to do this is to go to program file and create a folder called ifoz and uzip the entire contents of the zip folder to it. and then creat a shortcut from the ifonz.exe and paste it ti windows/startmenu/programs
and then soft reset
when the fone boots up then go to start/programs/ifonz an it should work
create the ifonz folder on my phone or on pc?
ok, i made a folder on my pc called "ifonz"
i put that folder in my phone in "my documents"
now, it works but has some problems
when i go to settings, the save and cancel button are huge and i cant click on or scroll thru any of the settings options
and the battery meter, signal strenth, etc icons at the top are big so they are scrunced together and i cant read them??
plz help
what type of phone do you have?, and which version onf the app did you download vga or qvga
when you creat the ifonz folder it has to go in the phone/ theres a folder called program files it needs to go in here
I have an i760 with wm6
ill try putting it in that folder and see if it will work
i really appreciate the help btw
I just put it in that fol;der and its doing the same thing as in my above post
it looks like crap and i cant change settings
the i760 doesnt run on windows and isnt touchscreen so i take it you mean i780
what version did you download
i just checked to make sure. it is an i760 with WM6 and touchscreen
http://www.pocketpccentral.net/samsung_i760.htm
it is version 1.1.2 that im trying to get to work(ifonz)
i have tried that version and 1.0.4 and they both do the same thing
i have tried different downloads and i have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, and done soft resets. i just want this to work
did you download qvga or vga
Sorry
yes, i made sure it was qvga
all the info i looked at said this phone is qvga, correct?
correct now
after you have downloaded ifonz 1.1.2
make a folder in the phone called ifonz in the my device/program files
then unzip the contents of downloaded file into the newly created folder
then soft reset the go to file explorer and to to my device/program files/ifonz
tap and hold on ifonz.exe tap creat shortcut then go to the shortcut (it should apperar at the bottom of the folder
copy and paste it into /my device/windows/start menu/programs
soft reset
then once the phone has rebooted gp to start -> programs and click on the ifonz icon
this should now start ifonz
Well, ifonz starts and works now. Its just not right (large icons and can't change settings.) do you think doing it the way you said will fix the problem?
should do. mind you you caould always try vga version to see how it differs
Alright, thanks for the help. Im gonna have to wait till i get home and ill let you know if it works
no problem
it starts but still acts the same. the save and cancel button work in settings BTW
what other programs do you have running

Complete lost

You will have to specify which registry key etc. you want to change (otherwise we cannot give you the appropriate instructions or .cab to do so..)
If you want to upgrade a T-Mobile HTC HD2, (to official or cooked rom) you will have to use HSPL.

you do not extract the cab files, the cab you copy to phone and execute them from there.

Hey there. Welcome to the WM
about the question you asked about the program named "audio manager",
for me it looks like a resolution issue that the specific programme is designed for a VGA resolution screen (square screen) which might not be compatable for the Leo's WVGA screen (wider screen).
All you need to do is get a VGA fix or simplily wait for the devs to release a WVGA version of the app.
