Skyfire closes as soon as it opens on WM6.5 - General Questions and Answers

I looked around and cant really seem to find any info on this. I am running TPC series ROM on my Tilt w/ 6.5 and after installing the latest Skyfire version, as soon as it opens it will just close right away. I just hard reset the phone and installed Skyfire and it's the same thing. Anybody have any ideas? I would really like to use this browser.
thanks.

You need to roll back to an earlier version of Skyfire. The newest one(s) doesn't work on 6.5. I had the same issue, but fortunately someone posted the previous version in the Raphael Software forum. If you can't find it on the skyfire website (or don't have the cab anymore), just try searching in that forum.

Okay cool, thanks Ted! I appreciate the info. I should have a couple of older versions laying around, I'll give them a try

Do you know if this issue has been fed back to Skyfire?

I posted about it on their forum here: http://support.skyfire.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4760

Windows live expired for WM6

Yeah, mine stoppped working Saturday night.
Same here. Cannot reinstal it. Any idea?
I think this may somehow be connected with instalation of MS Deepfish browser..but it's only a guess..

I just uninstalled Deepfish, but it still doesn't work.
It still works for me. I have a friend with a Palm 700wx and his stoped working. he reflashed his rom. Still no good. He gets an error window with an X on it. I back-dated his clock to last month and it installs and runs but wont login because of incorrect clock. After correcting the date he gets the X. So I believe this beta was set to expire in april. Maby a new beta is available. Anyone know?
Guys, WM6 built in works just fine. So if you arent using WM6 then maybe you should be posting this in the WM5 section of the forum. Im on My Vanilla at the moment to test this out. Seems my boss has found the forum and likes emailing me links to stuff like this hoping that this will not effect my rom that is in the works for corp. Please make sure your posting in the right section. Causing me more work and emails to answer LOL. Help a brother out...
Call me retarted. I didnt see the line. LOL. Damn boss got me all frustrated. They want this and they want that. Argh. As for me, My live works just fine. but I know M$ released the actual deal so i think the beta is expired. Go get the real deal.
Solution
Hi, I had this problem too. The solution was:
1- Change the time of my ppc to any date of 2006.
2- Uninstall Windows Live.
3- Change the time to actual date.
4- Install WindowsLive.PPC_ARM_NonBETA_NoDate.CAB.
This version don´t expire. Was estracted from a Wm6 Rom and works on WM5 and WM6.
Now, I´m using Xplore 1.1 Wm6 Rom and dont have this problem.
Bye.

Build 19202?

Whats so good about this build it seems all the new roms are moving to it but because of the radio it gives me random taps i.e. when i press a htc home tab it activates a plug-in below this wasn't in issue till i got spb shell where if u drag down it closes the program (i have tested this with a different radio and had nothing like this). Also it seems to have the tcpmp crash well i know of the fixed version but i use coreplayer anyway but it also prevents vtap and youtubeplay which both seem to use a tcpmp like build. I'm just wondering whats so special about this build that everyone is moving to it maybe I'm the only one with these problems?
p.s. cant post this in specific rom tread because i get it on all 19202 build as long as i have it's radio.
p.s. 2 - i know dutty's doesn't but i don't really like his rom's now the pagepool hacking seems to have a negative effect on me.
vTap update
Hello, I work for Veveo who provide the vTap service.
We have posted a new client which should work with Windows Mobile 6.1 installations. Could you try downloading the latest client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com? You should automatically be pointed to the correct .cab file for installation.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you continue to have problems running vTap.

The problem isn't the program its the rom it works fine on other 6.1 roms (except some on the originals*) as long at its not 19202 with the radio that it only works on it. Don't worry im not criticizing the awesome program .

Actually vTap should work even with the original 19202 ROM. We have tested that and it worked for us. It is expected however that it will only work with the latest vTap client. It would be very intersting for us to know if you do encounter a problem with the latest vTap client (version 143) with the 19202 ROM.
Thanks!!
I've already changed roms cose i had other problems with the build as you may have read above. I guess i wasn't using the latest version cose it was a while back when i downloaded vTap that didn't work on that build thanks for asking.
P.s. you don't have to reply to this post looks like im not gonna get an answer to original post so i'll let the post die now anyway a new build is out hope a rom is cooked with it soon so i can test it out.
OK.. best of luck...

Macromedia Flash in Opera?

I read a lot on this forum, but I can't find the solution on how to play flash elements on websites in the Opera browser?
When I go to the Adobe website, and try downloading flash it gives me the Windows version and apparently not a mobile or lite version.

I understand that the new Skyfire browers, which is in beta right now, allows for flash and just about every other plug-in available on a desktop. Unfrortunately, it is available to US beta participants at this time only.
Well, flashlite has been leaked, so now you can!

I agree - some direction or more detail would be appreciated? To my knowledge the latest version of Flash-Lite is 3.1 and this doesnt help at all?
See details from Adobe here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/version/
.
When MS announced WM6.1, they also announced a ie browser update coming in the q4 that would come with flash3 and silverlight. I just kinda assumed eventually we'll have it in rom and by then opera would be able to access those plug ins.

This does nothing for Flash for Opera 9.5. You need FlashLite 3.1... and even with that, it's not working well on most sites.

its working for me. Youtube works fine. Some other sites i tested worked too.
I did have some problems with long pages containing lots of flash objects when zooming in. It would draw all the flash items ontop of each other. But mostly it works well on my TP

Seems to be only working on certain hardware... Touch Pro and Hermes are two confirmed to be working for most who own them.
I can't get flashlite 3.1 to work on my raphael. Youtube or whatever just crashes. Help please?
where do you download flash lite 3.1?

MusicID (shazam)

Hi all,
From yesterday MusicID is no longer working.
I got the following result after it analyses music
Track: Ugrade Now!
Artist: Get Shazam
I got an upgrade link that leads me nowhere (this is not possible to go any futher).
Anyone knows why?
I visited www.shazam.com put there are no WM version available. But there are RIM, iPhone, Symbian, Android,... versions...
Any MusicID alternative? (I know that Samsung developped a similar application, available with the new i8000 Omnia 2)
Thx in advance for your help.
Still working for me
I hadn't used it in awhile, so I fired it up after reading your post.
It could be the version you have installed. Someone said that at least one of the versions was tied to a particular persons account, so that account could at some point stop working, but that's just a theory.
I'm using 1.3.16_QVGA by Lepsyfou.
try www.musicid2.com

Alternative found
Just follow this link: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/08...app-ported-for-all-windows-mobile-phones.html
This app is even better than Shazam as you can sing or hum a song in order to find the author name and the title of the track.
It works just perfect on my Touch HD!!!
Great find!
The UI fits the HD much better too. The reg edit to make it work from the phones data connection as well as wifi is a bit annoying, but worth the small hassle
Thanks for the update Dino.

Works perfect on my TP2 as well
1800 link seems to imply its no longer freely available, and the downloads gone.
Its available free of charge here and seems to be most recent version, works perfectly on my HD2 without any need for registry hacks.

Trying to find a web browser..

Hi guys, I'm new to the site and I've tried to search for this but cam up empty handed. i also wasn't quite sure where to post this so I do apologize in advance if this needed/needs to be somewhere else. I recently installed XannyTech's EVOLUTION 2.3 rom in my HD2 and love it, however when I go into the opera browser some of it seems to be "grainy" or "pixilized" when zoomed in some. most of the text will look just fine but for instance the "google" logo on google.com will look pretty distorted..my question is, is there a way to maybe get a new version or overwrite the version of opera to see if I can get it back to how it originally was? Or is there an even better 3rd party browser I can get and start using? Something with pinch zoom and flash perhaps?? Thanks for any advise or answers it is very much appreciated and sorry again if I happened to post this in the wrong spot :/
Moved as not software release.
I am quite pleased with Opera, try to install a different version and see if tthat fixes the issue.
