I am also new to this and i have been reading some of the posts. Great site with superb help and advice.
Many Thanks

Myself and my partner also recently updated our roms on our O2 Xda stellar, The flash went well for both of us, it was the after effect of realising there is no sliding home screen with the O2 release of this rom.
Im going through every file on our phones trying to see if its just hidden?
but so far nothing has turned up.
If anyone has managed to find a way to enable the sliding home screen please will you get in contact with me and post it here for everyone please.
Thank you

Hello there
I understand that the sliding panel home screen is available on non-touch smartphonedevices, although you may read it as a realse component of WM6.1. Bad wording I guess as it is a little confusing.
Regards.
Thanks
Thank you for the fast reply,
I feel slightly cheated by this but hey thats the way it goes. it would be quiet difficult for it to work with the size of the screen on the stellar but it would still of being a nice addition.
Thank you again for the response.
Simon Tasker
Well, to be honest I replied to this as I too was wondering where this feature was.
But hey, look at it this way, you have not lost any features!
In fact, since I got my XDA Stellar in nov 07 I have been using SPB Pocket Plus which offers more flexibility than what I believe Slidin home offers. Check out the Tabs on which you can add any file, program or even a whole plugin as I have the HTC Home plugin.
I've not seen first hand what Sliding Panel is like but Im very satisfied with this set up on mine and maybe this is helpful for you in achieving the same flexibility of customisation and personal taste. All of what you see is just from Pocket plus being ticked in the today screen items collection list.
Ok stupid question as there doesn't seem to be a manual for this on the XDA site.
When installing this, does it over-write any files? ie am I going to have to re-install and re-configure all my software? I just want to know before I do this while away from a net connection.

installing what? a program or flashing a rom?

I'll try this later tonight - I presume that with a rom upgrade all installed programs will be wiped. Whats the best way to save the programs so that I don't have to go through installing them again (if thats possible)

Indeed...everything is wiped and all the data too.
I used SPB Backup which worked well in the end. I made a few mistakes during the restore process that made it much more of a time consuming headache than it should have been but I think I got back to where I want to be. Ringtone assignments and contact picture assignments were not restored but that may have been my error rather than the fault of the software.

Sure, I have backup software, but I shall look at this as an opportunity to flash and re-install. Had just better make sure I do all required syncing first

The new ROM. On the O2 site it implies it won't nuke your stuff. Sure it says...
In order to ensure that important files and data do not go missing from your Xda during the software download process, please save them to your PC first before you begin. You'll then be able to reload them onto your device after the software download process is complete.

but that could be read as it might go tits up and break your files, but you'll otherwise be ok. It also doesn't mention 3rd party applications.

Whenever you flash a new ROM the handset gets formatted. Any data on the handset will be lost. If you want to keep anything, transfer it to the memory card first......
HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.
Hello guys and gals of XDA!
This is my first post, I recently encountered a problem with one of the program I'm using. Some software restrict it's usage by checking system's date. For example, before 2010-4-1 you can run the program fine without any problem... but after, for example, 2010-4-1, when you run the program, it will give you an error message saying that it's already expired.
I wonder if there is a hack or utility out there that will "tell or lie" to this program that's it is year 1999 without me having to change the system date everytime I need to run the expired program.
Thank, any reply is very appreciated.
you could always buy it. just a thought
YEP.. No WAREZ here.. Why would you need it. You can find almost everything developed by our friends at XDA.

this doesn't automatically mean he's doing s.th. illegal
e.g. the iDiamond-Project was for free, but had an expiry date and just stopped working someday. later on, the developer(s) fixed this.

Then he should contact the developers and tell them he needs a fix, not come here and ask us about it.

charles - what did the developers say when you contacted them about this bug? What piece of software is it?
Thanks guys for your replies.
I just found the updated version of the program with extended usable period.
But a date hacking program is certainly nice to have...
Well... Thanks, Have fun and happy PDAing...
Hello, I just got my Omnia7 and I need some answers:
1. When does mango come out? My country/region (Finland) doesn't have the market available and it's SO ****ing annoying! I can't dl games, apps I cand to ****.
2. Is it true that when I get mango, Can I use hidden wifi? My house wifi is hidden (don't know why, no hax0rz nearby I know that)? It annoying me so much that I can't even browse the net with my phone because no wifi available -______-
3. I have a .XML backup file of my SMS, is there an app like SMS backup&restore so I could get my messages back to my new phone?
I had somethin else on my mind that I had to ***** about too lol but I cant remember atm... Don't get me wrong, this phone is awesome, fast, and looks amazing but it's not ready yet and needs Mango ASAP!!
About the first one, Mango will be out probably this month. In order to get the marketplace working you can either create a live account with a UK address or wait for the official release of mango.

1. new rumors tell of an Mango release on 15th Sept.
search at wpcentral . com for the reasons of this rumors
(I´m not allowed to post links)
1. Marketplace will be open to Finland when Nokia launch its Windows Phones which is in 2 months.
2. Yes, Mango supports hidden WiFi.
3. Sorry, there's no way to restore and backup your SMS. (not officially anyway).
Uh guys, as far as I can see at this source the Finnish marketplace should already be open
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952586?sd=zune
mango may be out in the fall, and now the mango is the reveal version.market is a Problem.you can hacking phone
Thanks for all the replies
Okay so the Mango should be coming in September? It's the 2nd now, wpcentral says it might come on the 15th and that's only two weeks with a phone I can barely do nothing...
@day2die do you have a source that I need to wait for the marketplace that long? I can access zune marketplace on pc with the zune thing I downloaded. I DL'd YouTube app yesterday but I guess it failed somehow because I wasn't connected
To wifi when I tried to visit the mp on the phone...
Thank god for the hidden wifi support, why didn't we get this from the start -___-
Also the backup&restore, I don't care if it's official or not, I just want my messages back lol hopefully some 3rd party software maker will make an app for that if there already isn't one....
How can I hack my phone to access the marketplace? Or how do I install mango beta? Does the beta have hidden wifi availability?
I read somewhere that Mango will be release in October not september.
If I now go to Mango beta by looking the noob friendly guide, is it easy to come back to the NoDo and then update to official Mango?
yes ' you can...........
i updated to mango beta and now i came back to nodo with out problem.....
I saw this post today
http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2012...l-out-started-get-it-now-and-update-manually/
And I plan to try it on my Arrive when I get home tonight but I was wondering if anyone has does this yet?
i have tryied it, with the instrinic rom it does not work. also with the Titan rom for 7 pro from ansar. but he is building a new rom called New Tech Rom that is able to update and hold the unlock... because my device gets lock after the 7740 update i have a custom rom on 7740 for now.
I can confirm that this does work on a stock Sprint Arrive. I updated to 7740 first and then to 8107 and I have a fully functional phone.
EDIT: NEEDS LANGUAGE PACK or dialer won't work.
And just used the same tool to take a Radar 4G from 7740 to 8107.
Does internet sharing show up in the settings menu after updating On the arrive?

Nope. Also, after doing this update (I went 7720 -> 7740 -> 8107) the cellular menu in settings does not work. When you press it, the screen flashes and then nothing happens.
Nevermind on the cellular menu not working. That was me being dumb and forgetting to do the en-US language update (yes, you have to do the language after you do the main 8107).
No internet sharing and yeah I just figured out about the language pack also. Both the Radar and the Arrive need it.

what about the 160 limit on sms for the arrive?
(thats the other thing i really miss)
can some one tell me how you got it to work because every time i try it i get a error that say "Error: No update files.". Does my phone have to be unlocked for this to work?
160 limit still exists and I agree this is very annoying.
This works if your phone is completely stock. My phone is not unlocked or modified in any way.
Just download the zip, unzip it to a folder, download the 7720-7740 cab and put it in the same folder as the WP7 Update Cab Sender bat file and double click it. I needed to install the "if needed install this tool".

Still broken -.-
I called Sprint, as is my monthly ritual. They are "aware" of the issue and are "waiting for Microsoft" (not that doesn't make any sense but that's what they said.)
For guys that already tried, could you kindly give some details on what steps should we follow?
---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------
OK, I just did the 8107 update, and the phone boots up, good sign I'll give it a try and report back. I followed the instruction listed hereI know it's actually from XDA, but that tutorial listed the detail for specific sprint arrive, which is what I have. I just got it for free from MS challenge, so far love it.
Nope, not on TANGO either...
I just saw this thread and though... hmmmm... my Arrive is full unlock with ANSAR's custom 8773 (TANGO port) but it too has the 160 txt limit ...
Its weird that SPRINT would do that since Windows Mobile handled more...
Im going to ask ansar if there is a way to take this limit off... Maybe its a registry setting that needs to be changed. Like with Windows Mobile, we may be able to tweak it to send even bigger MMS messages (pix/vid)... jejeje
Also, for those wondering, this is the thread for ANSAR's Custom Rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499981
^yeah i can't believe this hasn't been fixed on any of the custom roms yet. Huge disappointment but I don't have any other complaints so I'm pretty happy overall. This has to get fixed eventually. My tp2 handled this just fine.
Does going to 8107 enable anything from the stock ROM (i.e. ICS) or does it just fix the issues listed here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/update-history.aspx?
(The disappearing keyboard is annoying, but I use the hardware keyboard for the most part. None of the other issues affect me much. So if it just fixes those items listed, I'll probably hold out.)
Frankly I didn't notice any difference at all to the Mango 7720 official release. I just can't resist the urge to upgrade to the latest available "official" version. Not too much into the custom rom yet. I had not so great experience on my old touch diamond, so I didn't do unlock on my tp2, not on this either unless there's something very significant on Tango.

Thats cool man, I respect that ...

Well, I just got it for a week or so, and I'm satisfied so far for the existing functions. tethering, because I have wifi at home and office, so it is not that much a problem yet, and the fact that my A500 can't take the Ad-hoc without root and I'm waiting for the official ICS, so even with tether on my TP2, I've not been able to use it at all for a long time(or forever) for me, why bother Of course, the main reason is laziness and I didn't like the custom roms too much on WM before. I tried hard to find a perfect rom, but couldn't, none of the available roms were to my like. So I started to cook my own, but found it too much a trouble, I ended up with some half ass roms, to my like, but with problem. that was on my first WM phone, HTC diamond, on the second, TP2, I just didn't bother at all.
