[REQ] is there a way to restore HTC sense to its original settings? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi,
Ive installed a number of 'Touch X' files etc etc to my Leo and its messed up my front page on HTC sense, i cant access the menu, change any quicklinks and the callender is slightly hiding the weather. I've tried uninstalling the files but a lot of them say 'cannot uninstall' or 'not uninstalled completely' etc.
Is there a way to restore HTC Sense to how it was originally?n Thanks in advance!

Try disabling Touch Sense in the Today settings, and try uninstalling then.
There are some files you can delete as well which remove the configuration, but without taking the TouchX files out first, it probably won't work.

thank you, il give that a go

it still gives the message that the file "was not completely removed"

any other suggestions?

check this thread for the original manila files as backup (also X Touch):

sure man
there is a way to hard restart your phone which delete ALL personal data and return your phone in factory defaults conditions
check here xda-developers > Leo, HTC HD2 > HD2 General
at the first Post [REF] *Leo Hints & Tips* - Things you may not have known. Updated 7th January.
look for the tip Number 15
15. How to Hard Reset your Phone
To hard reset your phone which means to delete ALL personal data and settings and have the phone in factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing, press the following buttons:
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.

Any ideas how to fix?
This is a wm5 bug and there was a tool that fixed it in one of the fourms.
Yes a uploaded file, I tried search and found nothing (maybe you will have more luck)

i think it's fixunreadcount.exe
Sounds right but search wont find it (for me that was).
Has anybody seen that thread so that I can post it to wiki, seems like a good tool.
i read about it here: http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=81113&hl=
and here: http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=82090&hl=
Well it now can be found on our ftp site
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/fixunreadcount.zip
Many thanks for everyone's help. That has fixed it.
Thanks mda 3 user for the bug fix
That file did not work for me. It ran, said there were no problems under text/mms/email (I don't use email so that was empty anyway) but I still had the error. Even tried after a reboot and it did not work. I do keep all of my old messages so it may have had a problem with the amount that are in there.
I did fix it however. I used PIMBackup to back everything up. Then restored from the backup using the default option which deletes all existing messages. This seems to reset the counters and it all works fine.
Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.
Jez.
fixunreadcount.exe didn't work for me either so here is what I did:
1) Backup using Sprite. Uncheck messages so they aren't included in the backup.
2) Hard reset the device
3) Restore using Sprite
4) Re-setup your email accounts
How to hard reset (from the wiki):
Hard Reset **NB** This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging!**
* Press and hold both soft keys
* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone
* Keep all three buttons pressed until the keypad lights turn off and then flash
* Release the soft reset button while still pressing the soft keys
* Let go of the two soft keys once the message "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen
* Finally, press the green call button to perform the hard reset, or press other key to cancel

Soft Reset Command?

Hey all, just got my TP2 and I'm really enjoying it. Its a hell of a lot nicer than the Titan and i760 that I've been swapping between the past two years. Quick question though:
Is there a command somewhere in WM6.1 that will allow me to soft-reset the device? I really don't want to wear out the plastic cover on the back by taking it on and off over and over again to press the reset button.
Thanks in advance,
Dustin
Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe if you power it down with the red "end call" button and then power it back up with the same button it is equivalent to a soft reset. But if you are looking for a shortcut in windows to do that you can try the various task managers out there like pbar, wisbar lite, ect. They have soft reset options with a very small footprint on the memory.
You are correct. And technically speaking, using the power on/off commits all changes to memory.
I used SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 on my old phones that had a shortcut for it, but I wasn't sure if HTC had an equivalent. I'm really debating on switching back to SPB, but I hear that MS 3.0 isn't perfectly functional with the TP2 yet.
Thanks for your help!
Check this out. It gives you the option to soft reset on the norification when you hold down the power button. I like it.

Try ActionScreen
ActionScreen does this by popping up a selection screen when you hold down the power button for 3 seconds. There are many actions to choose from and one of them is Soft Reset. I've been running it for a few days and it seems to work fine and be unobtrusive.
ActionScreen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547432
I think there is a option on the setting manual "wipe all memory" or something like that.
On mine, by holding down the "End Call" button for 3 or 4 seconds, I get a prompt with the following options.
Display Off
Turn Off
Soft Reset
Hard Reset (icon on upper right (a little scary))
Plus icons for
Device Lock Settings
Setting timer actions
Setting Today Icon for this prompt
The prompts displays as Touch Pro 2 Shut Down Option
I have quite a bit of 3rd party software, but I believe this is native to the device. Try it and see what happens.
I don't get those, but I am on a custom rom. I have:
Turn Airplane Mode On
Lock Device
Terminate Data Connection
Set Vibrate
Settings...
sorry double post.
As mentioned these are the two most common:
psSHUTXP and XDAshutdown.
I used XDAshutdown.

My Favorite (green star)

How do you set the green star "My favorite" button the VzW tp2?
On the "getting started" app that launches when I hit it, I follow the link to
a 2nd screen that lists 7 rows:
Send Key (Hold) - voice command
Button - <context menu>
button - <today>
button - <context menu>
button - <context menu>
button - <context menu>
Favorite - PIAgenda
The last one I updated to try and launch my application. But I get an error
stating "Each program button must have a unique button assignment. Please
Select a different button assignment".
There are 7 hard/physical buttons on the tp2, but I'm not sure its referring
to those. How on earth do I get that green star to launch what I want?

I had this same problem with a Sprint TP2. Now I know you probably don't wanna hear this... but after contacting HTC, they told me it shouldn't be that way and before they would even help me further, they wanted me to do a hard reset. After the heard reset, though, it cleared and, so far, I haven't had the "Each program button must have a unique button assignment. Please Select a different button assignment" error, YET.
I cannot be certain this would work for your TP2 (or Tilt 2, as I think it's called at Verizon), but is an Option.

Hard reset.. yeah that would be hard. I dont have a "Backup" solution yet. so nothing is really saved. I did install all my apps, except pocket informant on the SD card, but I doubt stuff would work after a hard reset. I've not really come across some really strong recommendation on a decent backup and recovery app.
That said. I just somewhat blindly changed some of the "button" settings and things are working. I dont know what all those "settings" or for on the tp2. if you navigate to that screen what is listed in your settings now?
Since the reset, I've only had one option in there... that is Send Key (Hold) - voice command.
As for a back-up option... I would sync your photos, app install files, and any music that you don't have on your computer already to your computer (via ActiveSync (downloaded from Microsoft) or Mobile Device Center (Included with Vista and Win7) or some other program of your choosing).
Then I would goto http://myphone.microsoft.com/. There you can download the Microsoft myPhone app. After installation, it will ask you to log in to your windows live account (usually the same as an MSN.com, live.com, hotmail.com e-mail address). Then it will ask you what you want to back up, tell it documents, contacts, and text messages. It bing your first time backing it up, may take a while.
Once that is finished and is confirmed that it has backed up (app on phone will tell you if there are any errors), do a hard reset.
After the Hard reset, reinstall the Microsoft myPhone. Log in with the same Windows Live ID as before and it will sync all data on the server to your phone.
Then it is only a matter of checking to see if that cleared the problem (only one button assignment, or more if your carrier programed it that way, contact them to be sure). Install your apps one at a time, checking the button assignment program after each instal/initial run of your apps. If it show back up after installing a certian app, then it is probably the one causing the problem.
It it doesn't show back up, then problem solved.
I do hope this helps ya.
I had this problem too. It wouldn't even let you switch to the keyboard backlight.
But if your on Verizon, it has been fixed with MR1 (WM6.5).

I am on Verizon. MR1? that's the same at WM6.5? Perhaps it will be fixed once VzW actually releases their WM6.5 for the TP2

You could also just click on each of the "context menu" options and select "none". No hard reset necessary. The reason why the hard reset worked for the previous poster is because it may have defaulted to the way it was before the settings were touched. All I had to do is make sure the "Context Menu" buttons said "None" and presto. All done with no errors and no hard reset required. Hope this helps.

[Q] help

i have htc touch2 t3333 and am a new user for wm i have big probelm the icon for unlock is disappear i can not find how to get it bk now it show as unlock word in bottom of screen
maybe you must hard reset your device to make normally...
in off device-turn on (or reset) while you keep the both volume buttons pressed. A screen will appear asking you to press "volume
up" to do the hard reset, or any other key to cancel it.
before you do it, try to backup all data like contacts, sms etc...

[Q] Setup app loop

After doing a factory data reset I accidentally selected the motorola setup app or whatever app that is that sets up.
Here's me explaining what it does right now - It's at the 'Setup accounts' page where you can add 'corporate' 'corporate sync' or 'google' accounts. At the bottom is a selection 'Done adding accounts'. If I click that I get a force close on 'The application Accounts (processcom.motorola.setup) has stopped expectedly. Please try again.'
If I tap 'force close it takes be back to the same app. I think I accidentally set the 'accounts setup' app as my launcher or something. How can I this default off or how can I reboot into clockwork to AGAIN restore to factory?
PLEASE help! Small donation may be in order for you.
Before you ask, I cannot get into settings to access 'privacy' to restore. and I cannot access apps (not that I haven't tried)

You try pulling the battery?
External reset:
- Power off (or pull battery)
- Hold volume buttons+power button until you get to "Boot Mode Selection Menu"
- Use volume down button to scroll to "Recovery"
- Use volume up button to boot into recovery
- Press both volume buttons when you see the Android and the exclamation mark
- Use volume down to scroll to "Wipe data/factory reset"
- Use power button to select it
- Scroll down to "Yes" and use power button to select it
Wait for it to finish and then reboot.
