im starting this thread for all the tmobile wing users so we can improve our device weather its how to speed up your device change the way it looks or even were you can get some good accecories if you no something that helps out then post it. if you have the cab files or zip files please post em it will save the trouble of us having to search for them. all your help be greatly apreciated by all who use em.
for dialpads i recommend going hear paulya.com
total commander(file explore and registry editor)
TCPMP(grate for viewing movies in diffrent formats)
Battery Stattus (overclocks device as well as displays battery stattus on today screen)
claunch (havent used it yet but i heard its a great app for displaying icons as shorcuts on the today screen)
icontacts(nice simple app for scrolling through your contacts)

very nice. i will look into these since i got rid of my MDA, and the dash wes terrible. So, I finally broke down and got the wing on Friday. thanks for the links.

i think it would be nice if you would post a step by step iphone theme thread, i have been trying to figure this out for a week and i still cant get it!

iPhone theme video would be nice...
"tunerhead24" is right! Instructional detailed video of how to install the iPhone theme or interface on the T-Mobile Wing would be nice.

wing!
im agreeing with the others about the step by step iphone theme install,love it.

there is great feature called SEARCH. its been discussed here and countless other places, or better yet, if you want an iphone so bad, go buy an IPHONE!!

You can find a real nice home screen called "HTC Home" at www.freewarepocketpc.net. Very nice for touch screen. You can also find matching dialers and media player skins there.
My other big tip is use Opera for you web browser. The mini version is java based freeware, the mobile version costs 24$ but is well worth the one time fee.ed
Almost forgot, screw the iphone its an over glorified ppc phone that touts features that any ppc phone has, and it also puts a spinning hard drive in a mobile
device.

its quite simple if you have a storage card, first download the iphone theme, unzip it, drag the unziped iphone folder into the storage card, then reinsert your card into your phone, locte the iphone folder, browse it you should see iphone if you open the folder, click it, and it should install, i have the wing, and thats what i did

I thought the iphone was flash?
Valid point though.

Hi guys I am new here..My htc wing is not copying and pasting..Please Help!!

When i try to install the iContact.exe all i get is a black screen that turns gray, with "abc" in the bottom right hand corner. Same when i choose contacts from the iphone theme home i-face. I've searched and searched, any solution. This is with 0.3 btw. 0.2 and 0.1 just froze the phone and never really installed.

Might I suggest anyone interested in wing modification, to check the link in my sig.

I got the same problem

Reboot your device.

Hey does over clockin damage it at all? How can I get more memory?

the tcpmp button and thr maps button dosnt work for me and do i have to go to file explorer thrn iphone to turn it on

Thanks
Thanks for all the great app suggestions...they're awesome!!! I have a question for anyone who thinks they know the answer. Does anyone know how to make the caller ID for an incoming call larger? I had contacts Pro and it sucked...it didn't recognize callers from your SIM and it seemed useless with unknown callers. I took it off my phone but the basic caller ID is o tiny. I can't barely see it. HELP?

Faraday (Cingular 2125) crashes running TCPMP

Hi,
I like my Faraday (Cingular 2125) vs. my old Audiovox 5600 (C500 I think is also known as) because of its screen brightness, newer OS, and also I can copy files over to it using wm5torage without having to remove the minisd card; however, it crashes on me a lot when running TCPMP to view avi files, these are the same files I use with the 5600 using the same version of TCPMP (version 0.72RC1). I'm kind of discouraged and was wondering if anyone else have the same problem. what happens is I can watch for say 10 minutes then the smartphone version of the windows hourglass (you know that round circle signaling it's busy) would come up and i can't watch anymore, the phone doesn't actually crash but I just can't use TCPMP anymore. I can turn the phone off but turning it back on requires a battery removal.
I've already tried using an older version of TCPMP (0.71) and that didn't solve it either.
i don't believe there's any rom update for this phone (but if there's one please point me to it).
anyway, please give me any advice that you may have. man, i like this phone but i just can't stand it much longer.
thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if it'd help: did you try playing with the video settings?

yes I did
yes I played around with numerous video settings but no luck. thanks though! i think i may go back to my good old SmT5600

had the same problem on my tmobile sda but i never got to fix this problem because i lost it days later but found a SMT5600 a week later and i dont have this problem on it not even now that i have it upgraded to WM6

i switched back
yeah, i just switched back to my 5600. the one main reason i wanted to try a 2125 was because it could run the utility WM5TORAGE that treats its storage card like a USB mass storage device, hence copying files to it was fast. however, i just found out today that when using activeSync to copy files to my 5600, there's a setting in activesync to tell it not to convert to the mobile device format which helped speed up the copying quite a bit so I'm pretty content to be with my 5600 again.
I upgraded to WM6 once with my 5600 also, but the number of features felt quite overwhelming plus it seemed a little slower. does it feel like that to you?
can you point me to the wm6 rom that you used? i may try it out if it's different than the one i had used.
thanks.

for me it feels like it has a good speed not normal but good enough to do things and not get made for the slowness and for the rom i used the one in the link on my signature (Audiovox SMT 5600 (HTC Typhoon) with WM6 < check it out) it may be missing things and may have bugs but for now it is mostly stable
Ill wait for some one to make a better rom

WM6.1 Cloning software? Also WM6.1 Webcam software?

- I finally got my PPC set up perfectly how I wanted it and was wondering if theres any kind of application out there that I can download that will make a clone of the whole thing, including the storage card. I was hoping to beable to make something so that if I had to hardreset and I could just run the clone image and it would auto instal and configure everything exactly as it is now.
- Secondly I was trying to find some kind of software that I can run on a desktop PC and my HTC Touch and see on the desktop, what im seeing through the camera on it. Kinda like video conferencing. I've tried Live messenger on it. also Skye just straight up freezes with wm6.1
Any ideas? Suggestions?
SPB Clone didnt seem to work real well. It suggested the clone size would be 15mb when it should be closer to 200mb.

Great Idea
Wish I could help but I'm hoping someone else will answer these 2 questions.... How i'd love to be able to just load 1 image back onto my phone when it F*#$%S up.
Someone posted a link to software that converts your phone to a webcam but it costs and I'm a poor student who can barely pay the rent (had my phone before I became a student in case anyone is wondering)...... A freeware version of webcam software would be great.....anyone?...Bueller? Anyone?

Whats the one that costs money? I'm curious.

Here's the link

How about SPB Backup, isn't that much better. It has an option to backup the storage card too, but it is unticked to save memory consumption.

Is there a way to get the storage v program allocation slider from wm2003 back?

Hi,
Well as the title says I find it really annoying that the slider in the memory panel has been taken away. I had one in windows 2003 and it was very useful and helped a great deal with the speed. I store everything on a memory card anyway so I might aswell allocate all the available memory to programs, I know this will have a huge impact on the responsiveness of the device.
I'm sick of how slow the hermes is. I had a choice of ppc's and i chose the hermes because I thought it would help..it doesn't. i was better off with full screen keyboard, i refrain from opening the keyboard because it locks up when i do. even after a hard reset and it only has 50% resources free.
I met a girl on a train a couple of weeks ago and she gave me her number but as i'd been listenin to music the thing locked!! it seemed to take sooo long. i had to do a soft reset, it was so embarassing. has anyone else had bad moments like this? i remember another time i was on weekly parade ( im a reserve soldier ) and my phone decided to turn itself off silent and it beeped, that got me in trouble.
so has anyone got any other tips to speed up my phone? should i research different roms? does the performance vary much? im running schaps 4.31, and i refrain from flashing as i cant afford to brick it but if it will help, ill have to learn how to do it again.
p.s. is tcpmp still the best media player? i need one that supports the most codecs and formats. i'm tryig to stream stuff from my winows home server. is there any plugins for whs?
any help with the above would be greatly appreciated. sorry for going off topic a bit, maybe i should've made 2 seperate posts.
thanks

1. the only way to use RAM for storage is via RAM disks. They, however, may be wiped upon restarts. See my related articles.
2. TCPMP is pretty old; CorePlayer is way better in many respects. Check out my multimedia-related articles.

cab luvin' dvd player

sooo, because i'm a cheap basta*d i'm going to buy a dvd player with gps for my car on ebay and i've noticed a lot of them, or even all of them?, run on windows ce. So here's my question, will any cab run on windows ce? i mean, winmo 5, 6, 6.1 and everything before that ran on windows ce right? so how easy would it be?
Picture this, a 8-16gb sd card, jam it into the card reader and start up S2P (slide to play) for one bad ass cover flowin' music center! obviously other thing would be useful to, and since these bad boys are only like $300 buckaroos it isn't a bad idea, especially for us gadget pr0n guys right?
what about flashing a rom from a SD card (only heard rumors/speculation about that, probably not possible)? or just loading up manila 2d/3d via throttle launcher and getting the think looking pimp? no phone antenna, no problem, just sync it through the bluetooth and make calls (new app required i'm guessing, or at least adapt/beautify some existing cab/exe). get internet sharing to work on it somehow and you're seriously looking at a pretty cool carputer. well, with all i'd want to use one for anyways. Who wants to do more than what a good rom on one of our phones can do while in a car anyways?
I'm not sure if it will run out of the box like that, with nothing more than some cabs on and sd card, or if you have to do something else (file explorer and whatnot), but i figured xda would be the best place to start for the right answers. I've never gone wrong before with you guys, so speak up! let's see what we come up with!
or at least give me a link to a better place if you know of one and i'll get off my soapbox...
anyways, i've got access to a few vogues, a wing/herald, and a touch pro to do testing with, along with the dvd player/win CE unit--in about a week or two that is--so i'm more than happy to put it on the table.
Man i hope you guys are reading this and as pumped as i am.
anyways, pm me with anything, or i'll just keep looking to see if anyone else posts here
amruthwo

bump
does anyone know if this would even work?

This could work.
First of all, you need to look up how to disable OEM's shell (factory "software" of the player) and enable Windows CE interface.
Next you either install Handheld PC apps, or install libraries which allow you to run applications from PocketPC.
Myself I tried it with a cheap GPS. Yeah, WinCE + apps are a major step up from maps only, but it is not anywhere close to even a non-phone PPC. Because of, for example, lack of WiFi. The big advantage is, that I can install any WinCE compatible map instead of outdated OEM maps.
Hope I am right, and this helps

Where did you find information about your GPS? I just got one, model# TID-7626GPS that I'm going to try to mod, but i can't find information about how to get the WinCE.
if you could pass on any links to places i could look it would help a ton. For how do disable the factory OEM and those libraries?

First you need to find out real manufacturer of your device. I googled model name you said but there's nothing
Or, connect that device via ActiveSync (yes, the same) and see if there's a file \Windows\autorun.inf
If it exists, backup it. Then change it so it will load \Windows\explorer.exe
That should unlock WinCE UI.
However, the file may not exist. In this case you have to look for instructions over the web.
