Welcome to the forum
rar is a compressed file like zip or 7zip
Just ask a Mod for deleting

hey quick question i got the htc touch hd and i have installed and running morphgear but i noticed that i can press two buttons on the touch screen at the same time is there a way round this or is it a hardware problem
thanks

Your screen isn't multitouch so you can't press 2 points of the screen at the same time

couple of noob questions! (sorry)

hi everyone, ok iv succesfully managed to flash my new xda exec with jwrights rom (thankyou very much, im loving it!) what im curious about is, i have a rough idea CAB files are programs, but how do i install them exactly? also, i keep reading about registry tweaks, what are they and how do i do them? and finally, iv been playing with the voice command program, and it doesnt seem to work properly all the time, when i ask it to call someone it just shows me there nuame and number then goes back to today screen, is there another program i could install, or maybe im just doing it wrong!!
thankyou very much
Cab files are just run on your device - just double click threm and they will ask you wether to insyall in memory or storage caqrd, most are fine on the card but anything that runs on startup (eg today plugins) can cause problems if not imstalled on the device.
You need a registry editor to edit the registry, there are a few free ones but I use resco which comes with resco explorer.
For general WM questions head over to Modaco - this forum is for ROM hackers amd ROM related queries and Modaco is for general PPC and SmartPhone user queries.
HTH
ok, i think im getting it a bit now, i was wondering does anybody run wisbar with there crossbow rom? iv tried installing it but it just doesnt look right!!? could anyone be of some help?

iphone theme on wing

Important:
before i begin let me say this is not my own work i did not wright these apps/files ive simply put them all toghether in order to create an iphone theme for my T-Mobile Wing. if you ever recive a message from me charging you for this theme then ignore it completly.everything i am providing you is entirley freeware. the reason i am telling you this is because there sevral people out there right now selling this files/apps as there own, but there are also people outthere that actualy do make there own and sell them so dont get confused.
zip. files
iphone-0.97
icontact_v0.2
Cab. files:
slide2unlock-wm5
tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1
for thoes of you who dont have t-mobile or dont have myfaves. your gonna have to do some editing in the config file in order to change what it opens.ive also added a couple of icons in the icons folder so you can also change the myfaves icon.
in order for this to work properly with out having to do any editing to the config. everything must go into your storage card
unzip all the zip files attached to this email and then copy them to your windows mobile device.same goes with the cab. files.
once all the files and cabs are installed onto your device then you can run the iphone theme wich should be found in you storage card through file explorer hope this works for you,as it has for me.
sorry if the instalation instructions aren't great but they should be good enough in order to set up the theme for thoes of you who've done this kinda stuff wont even need the instructions
ENJOY!
FOR THOES OF YOU WHO ARE GETTING INK. FILE NOT FOUND WHEN YOU OPEN ICONTACTS
some people have been messaging me that when they try open icontacts from the theme there getting ink. file not found to correct this youll have to do some copy and pasting
you must exit the iphone theme first before doing this and you can restart it once your done
first you have to replace the config file found in the iphone themes folder with the new one i have provided below. everything will be the same i have just done some simple editting wich should get icontacts to work.once this is done then just go to the part of the storage card were you have icontacts and copy it then go to my device and click the windows folder once there just paste the icontacts app and this should get it to work. if not then uninstall icontacts and just reinstall it to your device
for thoes who want to edit the config file themeselves and not download the one i have then simply replace the part in the config file that has this
\Storage Card\Program Files\icontact\icontact.exe
and replace it with this
\Windows\icontact.exe
but you will still need to do the copy and pasting steps above
hopefully this helps let me no if it doesnt
ive tried my best to edit the config just right so you wouldnt have to do any but even tho you more then likely will have to do some editting
for thoes of you using tmobile wing go hear and post some stuff you may have to help others improve there device as well as find stuff to improve your's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1400970#post1400970
sorry if you write me and i never write back im am extremley bussy now most of the time since ive gone back to work it takes up most of the time of my day and by the time i get home im too tired to do anything but ask around and im sure youll be able to figure out how to install the theme
if you want to see the theme working then go to this link for youtube to see my wing running the iphone theme
http://youtube.com/watch?v=cPt-7Au8Fp4
ok a lil something about icontacts this may or may not help some people but im posting it anyways if you start icontacs and it works but none of you name or numbers for your contacts apeer than you may have to transfer your contacts to your simcard or device itself im not sure right now wich one it is but try either one and it may help. im not sure if this goes for the newer versions of icontacs i havent used it yet so yea just a lil tip
ask around and im sure youll be able to get this theme running on your wing
10/19/09
just an update
i no longer own the wing and am now a proud owner of the mytouch 3g but there are still plenty of other tmobile wing users out there that would most likely be willing to lend a helping hand. just be sure to always do some reading and searching first.
TmobileWingUser
mod edit: Link to Slide2Unlock removed.
awesome
if you own a wing you should definetely do this to your phone, and also thank tmobileuser for giving us this chance to do the same to our phones
haha I Love how my video is the first one that shows up on the suggestion list
i might try this out later today or tonight, looks pretty nice and fits tmobile perfect. always wanted to try that ipod thing out
for anyone who trys this let me no if everything opens smoothly so i no wether ill have to edit the config or not thanx for you help
is that ipod program in it? i never installed uPod but I did download it awhile ago. do we have to install that ourselves too?
the ipod that i had in my video was a trial version so i replaced that button to start slide2unlock instead
Oh, well I found the pPod and change that link to actually start the pPod program. Works great, love the icons!
thats cool is the pPod version you got a trail verson or no if its not can you send me the link were you got it from so i can put it back on my phone thanx
Installation
Can someone post a word document on how to install these file on my wing? Also, would it be best to wait until myFav is turned on. I just purchased my wing and myFav isn't on yet.
Thank you tmobilwinguser for posting these files and anyone else who can help me get my phone like the video on youtube.
Installation
Disgard my first request for instruction. I justice two things one tmobilwinguser has listed instructions and on his youtube post he will be adding a short video to show how to install it on the wing.
Thank again tmobilwinguser
where do you place the batterstatus folder at on your phone, and open it to?
Does this work on HTC Touch? the themes look nice and i wish to install it on my touch. thanks guys
does this work in Htc Touch? thanks
does any body have the same problem
when i click on the contacts icon it says .Ink file not found, if anybody else has the same problem, please reply. or if they can tell me where they put the icontact folder at.
i just finished putting it on and it is sweet hey thanx for the post im going to use this for sure, i think it runs better than when your useing wm6. Well any i do have one question were do you put the icontacts it said it cant find it when i click on the icon? But other than that like i said its cool lol
Optional Battery Status
Optional
for this program at least for me anyways it doesnt matter were you put it i have mines on device and once installed you can open it from your programs
for thoes of you who may be using the t-mobile wing and find it kinda slow or slugish then i recomend using a program called battery status it overclocks your cpu in order to run faster i currently have mines clocked to 286 but i recommend you start at 247 first and then go from there like i said this is optional you dont need this in order for the iphone theme to work i just though id add it for thoes who may want it
how do you change the icons for it and how can you change the front picture of the lock screen?
for those having the problem with the icontacts , i figured out what the problem is. open the iphone folder and look for a document called "config". scroll about half way down to where it says \Storage Card\Program Files\icontact\icontact.exe.you have to capitalize the "c" in icontact. it should look like this .....\iContact\iContact.exe. i hope this helps. NOTE o not play arund with anything else in this document if you don't know what your doing.also i havethe file located in my storage card.
how can i get those programz i am tryin 2 download it it wont let me
help with iphone theme

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.

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?

interesting problem on tilt?

hello everyone, long time member of howardforums and just joined xda and find some very usefull info, thank you all. i ran into a small problem last night. i have a tilt , not flashed but i have installed the htc home screen and everything worked great. last night i tryed to install the touchflo program found in a few places in this forum and it didn't work but thats when the interesting stuff happen....after deleting all touchflo cab files and restarting the tilt every time at startup it gives me a warning " FTouchFlo.exe cannot be open, its either not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can not be found. try reinstalling or restoring file." ????? and now the icon that used to be under the clock for favorite people that would send me their pics so i can just one touch dial is GONE? tryed installing the cab for the htc homescreen again but the same....there is a music short cut that lets me launch the music player that wasn't there before? i downloaded the htc home plugin customisor and even when i set for 6 icons on the bottom of the clock it still just gives me 5?
at the end of the day i would like to have the touchflo program but its not a big deal if i dont, i would however really like to have the pic dialer back on my screen as its really convinient to dial my fav people with it.thanks in advance
try this for the favorite people tab

Keys are in the registry. To access and change the registry you need a registry viewer/editor. There are many but for simple "everyday" use this is a good one:

Be careful though delete the wrong things and you'll end up needing a hard reset.

PHM downloads as a .MSI windows installer. So it will not install properly unless you have your device connected via active sync when you run the downloaded file. So connect your device via usb cable. Let active sync connect and update. Then while still connected run the installer download. During the process a message will pop up on your device. If a choice is offered it will be ok to install to storage card if you have one.
Cheers for now.
Mike
thanks guys , can anyone tell me how to delete .exe files? i still get warnings at start up that touchflo.exe and bio-something-.exe can not run because some files are missing.....thanks

How to skip the bloat! (Fuze)

I have yet to see it posted so heres how to skip the MEGA BLOAT on the fuze.ATT tried VERY hard to prevent it this time around.
I have tried every screen from hard reset. From what Ive found this is the only way to do it.
1.Wait for the tap here to customize.
2.Go through the screen alignment
3 skip or set pass word.
4.When it says your done and tap the screen to start WM get ready to reset
5. The absolute second you touch the screen(use your finger and have your stylus ready by the reset hole) hit the stylus reset. (if you see customization start your too late and must start over)(hard reset by holding volumedown and the button in the center of the scroll wheel while pressing the stylus reset)
6. When your device starts TF3d will NOT be in your today Items
7.Go to today settins and disable everything
8.Use file explorer to go to windows and find PT_Manila_Reg .cab and run it
9.Run MSFT_Security.cab
10.run the Opera cab called WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.cab (only WM6_PPC_HT… shows up in File Explorer) or you won't have the Opera browser.
You now have no bloat and TF3D
You must also install the opera cab in windows for the internet tab to work.
but does everything work?
i found on my hermes that certain stuff didnt work properly if i went about it that way

So far yes
Ive been testing for an hour. All the cabs from customization are posted in the windows folder. T
he only thing you lose i see so far are the folders in programs. For all the bloat Ill gladly recreate some folders.
so this is supposed to get rid of the At&t tab in touchflo 3d??
because i did it an the tab is still there...or what exactly does it do?? 9IM A NOOB!!)

If you have yet to see it posted, then how did you copy and paste it word for word from the thread that it's already posted in? Cute...
but everything else is loaded like MS voice command, the quickgps,etc?
any idea where I can find the tools that was under programs with att configured?
need to use the proxy thing
Nevermind I found them there in the windows folder
what/where is the "stylus reset"?

As far as I can tell we are getting everything else except the stuff you dont want by skipping customization.
If you want stock and know how to flash NATF's rom is a good alternative. He has done a good job of removing the junk permanantly. From what I have read his rom is pretty solid.
I will probably continue my tilt line of ROMs on the fuze soon. I always base mine off of ATT's most current roms and leave all ATT settings intact.
Does anyone know the name of the CAB for Opera in the windows folder? It does not start off as Opera. Thanks...
UPDATE: Found it.

Opera doesn't load if you skip the bloat. What is the cab called? I couldn't find it and ended up finding a newer version on this board and used that cab, but I would still like to know. It was driving me crazy.

It is called WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.cab. All you see in file explorer is "WM6_PPC_HT..." so it's impossible to tell what it is without running it. I installed Total Commander to find it.

The reset is a small button on the bottom of the Fuze, to the right of the usb port underneath the headphones symbol.
Beat me to it... Yea, The title is too long and you don't see the opera part. WOW, what a difference when you follow theses steps. It even puts the YouTube app on the internet TAB. The fuze runs ALOT smoother and has WAY more RAM/ROM. Good find!
do I press reset when I touch the screen, or the moment I see something change on the screen from me touching it?
WHen it starts up, am I supposed to see a customization wizard? Or did I fail?
edit: failed.crap

Yeah the second you see the screen change you have to reset. Once you see the wizard you went too far. If you see it hard reset and try again.
Thanks for this info. I tried flashing some of the ROMs specifically the NATF ROM since I wanted to keep the AT&T theme but not some of the AT&T bloatware but one thing I noticed accross the board is that cellular video does not work. I have checked proxy and connection settings and managed to get MEdia Net to work but CV always fails. Opera states the fuze is not a 3G phone and PIE only shows XML codes. Alhtough I don't use CV much I still wouldn't want it broken. I suppose this is my alternative for now.
Ahhh, I love the internet and being able to find the answer to any question you might have haha. Thanks for the tip on Opera, I was definitely missing that.
About the only thing I can think of that was kinda cool from the AT&T pack was the Cellular Video. Can that be installed by itself?

Cellular Video is only a website and can be access through cellularvideo.cingular.com
Theres something called PT_BlackSCR.cab
I installed that too. Err..what was it? I'm guessing it was the ATT_tabbed TODAY theme? I forgot to check if that was there before I installed it.
