Welcome to the forum
If you reflash you´ll have it back for sure, just back up your data and read the Wiki to learn how to do it depending on your device

Or do a hard reset or run "clear storage", it should come back. Again, back up all of your data, if it's on the phone memory, it will be gone!

This problem has come up before.....no Hard Reset etc. required!!!
Use a decent file explorer and see if \Windows\StartMenu\Settings is there.....don´t worry, the folder is supposed to be empty. Chances are that you won´t find that folder and that causes your problem. Just create the above folder, soft reset et voilá.....
P.S.: you have probably used some cleaning utility to remove empty folders and that has caused your problem.....

reset start menu at start up
you can reset the start menu at start up at de user properties.

Solved.
Thanks michi123.
That worked perfect. I got the settings back in Startmenu!
I also have an other question. Why does it take 2½ minute to open the /Windows catalog in fileexplorer? Should it take so long time?
Excouse my English!
Thanks

Hi,
That depends on how many files (and how big) there are in your windowsfolder. Use this to add some more info to your file-explorer and search for the big files , probably music or movies, and move them to a storagecard.
Dirk

okey.
I try that. but I'm quite sure I don't have any big files there, I save everything on memorycard. And clean temporary internet files offent. But I think samsung have alot of files in /windows.
don't know how to fix it.

"Your Current Security Settings Do Not Allow this file to be downloaded"

WTF is this??? Anything I try to download from Internet Explorer produces this result, no matter the file type. I checked security settings and there is nothing that helps. I am on Windows mobile 6.5... IE in this OS is such garbage...I'm just trying to upgrade my Google Maps...Help!

bump for ideas

Nice.
GO MICRODONKEY!!

appreciate the links but I guess I do not have enough knowledge to be able to translate that into a solution. I made no changes to the registry so I don't know why this happened all of a sudden. I did a search before for the title of my thread and all that came up was a bunch of stuff for internet explorer on the desktop, nothing helpful. Oh well.

[Holly's Kitchen - Wing Development] - My parting gift to the Wing/Herald Community

Well, my beloved Wing kicked the bucket last night, and I am without a phone. Before it died I had managed to finish up my Wing development environment which contained a stripped down (meticulously stripped by me) version of the official T-Mobile Wing OEM and a 21051 sys/xip.
This Kitchen is based on the "JustMe" Kitchen by ivanmmj (Thanks Ivan!!) - with all of the bugs fixed. It supports XPR and LZX compression and has a built in configuration section.
To use the kitchen, unzip the files to your hard drive and run the file "StartKitchen.bat". You will be presented with the choice of setting configuration options or building your ROM.
BY default, the Kitchen will output a very basic ROM with a full version of WM 6.1 21051/21051. The only things left from the original T-Mobile OEM are HTC camera, ArcSoft MMS, and other little HTC system utilities like "clearstorage". The only things added to the OEM are HTC Task Manager 2.1, a 6 button Green comm manager that matches the Default Green Windows mobile 6.1 theme, a couple of essential reg tweaks, and Dummy SQM.
I would post screen shots of the ROM, but I was not able to take any before my phone crapped out.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cooking with Holly's Kitchen
If you have Windows Vista or Windows 7, UAC will cause this kitchen to break. Disable it before running the kitchen.
Extract the archive to one of your hard drives - preferably in the root like "c:\"
Browse to the root of the kitchen (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen) and launch the file called "StartKitchen.bat"
Press "2" and hit [ENTER] to start the build
A program called BuildOS will appear. Press the > button near the top left.
Watch the progress at the bottom of the window. When BuildOS finishes, close it.
The build will continue automatically. If you are using LZX compression, hex editor program will automatically open and close.
The page pool changer application will open. Click on the select button, and browse to the BUILD folder of the kitchen (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen\working_folder\build\) and select the file "os.nb"
Select the page pool size you want and click on the "Change To" button. Close the page pool changer application.
The HTC ROM tool will be launched. The configuration should already be populated. Click on the "Build!" button.
Browse to the BUILD directory (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen\working_folder\build), choose a file name for your ROM and click on "Save"
Close the HTC ROM tool
The script then automatically copies your nbh file from the BUILD directory to the flash (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen\working_folder\flash) directory.
You will be asked if you want to flash your ROM. If you answer "y" and your ROM was successfully copied to the flash directory, you should be ready to flash your newly built ROM.
Now that you have successfully operated the kitchen, you can go back and edit the OEM directory (EXAMPLE: c:\hollyskitchen\working_folder\OEM) and and remove applications to your ROM.
Good luck!

I'm gonna look at this, see if I can learn how to work it. Sounds interesting.
Sorry to hear that the Wing is dead

I get errors
On the ROM Builder part. It asks you to pick a device, u know? I just cant get that section going. Any tips? I can describe it more or post screenshots, but I figured that you might already know what I'm talking about. Thanks.

It should have that filled in automatically.
Choose "Herald*"
You can also try to open the project file, which should fill in everything for you. To do that click on the little "l" buton near the bottom, browse to the build folder under (hollyskitchen\working_folder\) and choose the file called "build.htcrtproj".

Here is a screenshot of what the settings should be...

I extracted my kitchen to a computer that has not run the kitchen before and the HTC ROM tool worked fine. I'm not sure how you got that error.
Anyway, I edited the first post with a step-by-step guide. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Yay, a good guide. I'll try it out again. I think it's working right now though...It's on the white screen, saying, "Building NBH". Been there for a while.

I don't get the Herald option as a device. Only the ARTE1000.
?????ahhhhh??????

That's the part where the HTC ROM to launches. Look for it in your task bar. You have to press the build button - Step 9 of the guide.

Something is horribly wrong. Maybe it didn't extract fully?
Let me download the kitchen and check it out.

double comment. I forgot that there was a second page. I was thinking...where's my comment? so I posted this one, and then I saw my other one. Sorry. So, any update on fixing it? I re-downloaded it once and then a second time. Both times had the issue.

YAYYYYYY That means I'm not retarted!! Yesssssssssss.
More details....
When it's about to launch the ROM Builder...
And then after clicking OK...
And finally, after clicking OK to that one, and selecting ARTE1000 as the device...
And it just fails in general after that. Those were the main highlights of it all. Hope it helps. Keep us posted about getting it fixed!

Win7, yea. I tried XP compatibility mode, but didn't do anything. Thought about running in Admin mode, that might do the same thing. If that fails, I'll turn off the UAC.

Any guide to run Andriod in POLA100??

Android on HTC cruise How to?
Hi all,
I'm REALLY confused or misinfomed or whatever on how to run andoid from my sd card.
I tried some things from a website androidonhtc but only got up to a point.
Is there a simple how-to on how to run android on cruise and some links on where to donwload the appropriate files?
For example i have got the haret but i can't find anywhere to download androidinstaller.tar
Am I close or far from my goal?
I know i might ask a silly question but guys i'm really confused.
Thanks anyway in advance.

as for how-to in hxxp://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstall
after getting haretinstall.zip, you need a current kernel (zImage) from
- dzo = hxxp://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
or
- sourceforge = hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
------------------------
as for androidinstall.tar / .tgz you can get from
- vogue forum = hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=588
- kaiser forum = hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=602
- sourceforge = hxxp://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
PS: sorry for the hxxp link, I have no permission to post any link yet

Thank you very very very much for your help!

Congratulations mensa07. Although I already knew all this stuff from your link, it took me some time to figure them out because I did not know there was such a good guide for starters. Very usefull link. Thank you

well, it's no garbage, just required more explanation. let me try to make it simpler. this guide will use zImage-eclair and vaniljeclair, change it to suit your taste accordingly
- get haretinstall.zip from here
extract this file and get default-polaris.txt (rename as default.txt), zImage-eclair (rename as zImage), initrd.gz and haret.exe. put all these files into andboot folder in root of your sdcard. your sdcard will look like this:
/andboot/default.txt
/andboot/zImage
/andboot/initrd.gz
/andboot/haret.exe
- next you need to download vaniljeclair from here
extract the file and you will get androidinstall.tar, put this file along with those files on /andboot/
you should have those 5 files or you cannot boot android.
- select haret.exe to execute, press run, pay attention to the text rolling, when it asks you to hold button, hold volume button up, and you will be given installer menu. choose install and delete data. let the format and installer finish, then you will be given menu again. do not quit, just reset, and restart from haret (you will see that you have data.img, system.img and some other files). at this time let the installer do not interrupt, it took more than 5 minutes before android logo asks you to touch screen
- if there is problem during booting, post it here, let people here try to solve

it will not erase your sd card either, however you might want to backup your data first just in case something does not go well.

BT and WIFI should work, there is vaniljeclair thread on this problem if something is not working.
as for contact I think you need google account to sync.

Hi,
Thank you for the guide. I actually follow it and encountered an error. When it asked for volume up or d-pad center, I did, then it prompted that it was waiting for something several times. So I soft-reset the phone and launch it again.
Then, after haret.exe is booting linux, I have got a strange screen with scramble text.
How can I put everything back in the previous state to reinstall it propely?
Thank you

More info....
Did you get to the install screen after pressing centerdpad?
If yes, did it install?
What was it waiting for? The error message can give a clue what is wrong.

i manage to get to ask to hold up the center d-pad then get into a installer menu..
currently i just cant get my wifi and bt work..
haven get connection to sign in to google account..

I have all five file on my SD card but when I click on haret on my Sd and hit run where it say defaukt.txt..I get a error saying " cannot open script file \storage card\andboot\default.txt" is im doing something wrong..thx

u got change the polaris default-polaris to default??

Okay first of all tray sometimes to used the search engine.
But because you asked it here we go.
First of all make some attentions on witch WM version you have wm 6.5 ore WM 6.5.X not every thing is compatible fore these two versions.
Secondly download the cab version, if you do it with your PC transport the cab file to your SD and navigate to the folder where you have store the cab file and press on it; you will see a window who asked you where you will install the cab Internal memory ore SD select Internal memory, you will see it will install it and after installation in the most case you will see a window who ask you to restart your device now; select yes!
if you don't see this window do manually a soft reset.
Thats it.

thx i worked but still my top curtain is same as before.

Its normal sir read carefuller the instructions.
The theme is still under construction, not everything is finished.
And the one you see is coming from a previous work of djcedric look in his signature!!!
Ps; the next time you have a similar question it's more easier to place it in the thread where you download the cab.
Reason way!?
- The creator will see your post!? (ore do you think a creator will search in every thread fore see if there is a problem with his creation?)
- other users can helps you more easier because they know directly of witch theme you are talking about.
- a new person like you will find easier a reponse to his question if he have the same problem.
Attention this is no criticism to you, but a tip fore the future fore you and other new person.
Have a nice day/evening.
