Cab Howto repair HTC Album - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi guys, I got a big problem with HTC Album.
When I tray to display Facebook photos, I can only see the names of the folders and the number of photos but I can't display them (first it's loading but after appear a cross).
I tried to pass by contacts list and it to the same thing. Even with another Facebook account.
I also tried to delete the folder "FBContacts", in order to reset something but it doesn't do anything.
But, it works with the Facebook app' (but less simple than HTC Album)
Note : Association between contact and Facebook account, works, I can see the current profile picture (but it is the only one i can).

So, is it possible to reinstall / repair HTC Album ?!
Maybe I delete some important thing, or maybe there's a modification to do in the registry...
In advance, thank you.

Hi,
I guess most of the users face this issue, anyone found a solution yet?

Hi guys, I didn't realize that everybody was suffering from this. So, for the benefit of all, I just posted a thread with the fix.
Enjoy

try using dafault values on this tweak
Change:
HKLM/System/StorageManager/FATFS/CacheSize To: 65536
this tip enables a 32mb filesystem cache. it is unsuitable for 1.66 roms as will necessitate a hard reset.

This "tweak" is ultimately incompatible with my HD2/Diamond/Elf!
- On my HD2 (t-mobile stock 2.10) it causes the Album to lose the ability to view facebook pics, as in THE PICTURE ABOVE.
- On my Diamond, it causes wildly erratic behaviour, a corruption of ROM data (icons disappearing, programs stop launching with a "not a vaild win32 app", root files showing wrong sizes i.e. pim.vol once showed a 582 MB file size, etc...), and eventually an inevitable automatic hardreset.
- On my Elf, it causes the erratic behaviour as well as a corruption of my SDCard data and I ALWAYS end up having to format and start anew!!!!!!
Be advised, the "default value" for this reg value is a clean, big and round ZERO. As such, from my observation, this is UNSUITABLE for HD2 Leo stock T-Mobile ROM 2.10 either!
P.S. I'm already running an experiment on my HD2 with this tweak on. Already I'm experiencing erratic behaviours - icons disappearing from Sense, level1 highlights not showing, etc...

That´s right, I didn´t remember default value.

Yours is the real Orange plugin. The other one is Photoshopped. It's just an example.
There is only one option button found on the Camera ICON.
It allows you to switch between Normal or Expert Mode.
You can only change 4 shortcuts under EXPERT mode.
The interface is pretty nice, but too bad, cant launch below bug.
Bug found IN NORMAL MODE:
1. Under the camera tab,
Click TAKE A PICTURE.
The file 'camera' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.
Bug found In EXPERT MODE:
1. Under the folder tab,
Click Speed Dial
(The file 'TSPEEDIAL' cannot be openen. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.
2.
Addon Bug
Probably a Third Bug
If you remove the plugin, Camera Button no longer recognzed by hardware. cant set anything to it. although camer works fine.
i quite like the interface. too bad, the apps not delicate for O2, missing a lot of functions, therefore, i not using it.
Moreover, i try to read the registry, cant find anything.

ace_ddi.dll + screen rotation help

Hi, this is my first post so please if I make some mistakes be patient (I'm really dummy and sorry for mistakes) ..... I've been trying to solve the problem for lots of time but no success for now. Ok let's focus on details:
What I want to do: to be able to rotate the screen.
The device: non standard bought in Poland, based on centrality atlas, win core 5.0; There is no way to flash rom, have only soft reset restoring windows folder to original state, this is a gps device which was unlocked and able to run lots of apps. but the problem still remain the same - no rotation gained.
Not working: trying lots of stuff like nydiot but none worked and even caused problems with synchronization via activesync
Recently I've focused on ace_ddi.dll and found an app. called ace_ddi.dll rotator. Guess what? it started to work but partly. If I change the screen from 320x240 (default) to 240x320 the rest of the window is beyond the display. If I restore 320x240 I've got two taskbars one at top (not default) and one at bottom (default), but this one is not working.
The package I am using consitis of:
ace_ddi.dll
rotator.exe
screenrotateservice.dll
srswrapper.dll
vsd_setup.dll
srs.cpl
Here's what going on the screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Btw. one more question If I overwrite for example ddi.dll in windows directory does the system use new ddi.dll or the old one was preloded into the memory ?
Now I am really stuck what to do. Ive asked for help in Microsoft and others forums but no one is able to answer my questions or give a hint what to do.
If You have any ideas, please, help it's really cheap but worth working device and it would be grateful to change the orientation of the screen.
If the topic is miplaced, please, move it to the appropriate place.
Thanks for all help.
Hello and welcome to the forum.
Though usually questions like this would be better off in General forum I will not move it because that forum gets too much traffic as it is.
As for your question:
There is no way to rotate the screen. Screen rotation is part of the display driver and only the OEM (the maker of the device) can provide that.
Windows CE (which is what your device is running - its different from Windows Mobile) is a very modular system - like Lego.
Most manufacturers of navigation device strip out any unnecessary components, sometimes even the shell and file explorer to conserve memory.
So though some functionality can be restored to these devices via 3rd party apps they can never do everything regular PDAs do.
As for replacing the dll: if the file you overwrite it with is compatible with the device (processor / OS) it should function but you may need a reset (the kind that does not delete files).
Thank You for your reply. It's really hard to believe that it's not possible to rotate the screen but I'll have to accept this. Not to found another topic I intend to ask some more question here (mainly it's also connected with display and rotation) I'll be grateful for your answers:
1. Is there any software that can change the orientation of the screen and is worth installing ? We have to remember that the windows folder is back to original state after restart or reset.
2. There's possibility of changing shell-folders in registry like MyDocuments and so on what I've already done, but one entry I leave unchanged it's "windows" I am afraid of changing that and hanging my device. Question is: if I change this entry the new path provided in this section will make another path for windows or it will change the current ? Is it safe to change the value of this key ? I would like to force the system to load from normal \windows directory and force to load some additional files from my new \windows directory placed on sd-card.
3. I've got problems with forcing apps to display eastern fonts - mainly polish, could give me a hint ?
Thank You very much for your help and looking forward to hearing from You.

[Q] How to delete font (youyuan.ttf)? WM 6.1 Hurricane. Tried obvious routes.

Sorry for the long title thread, wanted to get all the basics in, hoping people won't skim by another 'help.running out of mem' type thread title.
To break it down a little more fully...
HTC Hurricane (badged up as Orange C550)
SIM and APP unlocked
Recently upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1 (using ROM and instructions here)
The amount of Storage memory is very low 1.7-2Mb
In terms of additional software installed to the phone, and NOT the storage card, I only have QuickReset (6Kb)
6.38Mb of the available 17.95Mb for storage memory is taken up by one font in the /windows/ (not windows/fonts/) directory - youyuan.ttf . I believe this is a chinese (simp?trad?) font, which came installed with the custom ROM (selang09's wm 6.1 - see thread link above).
What I have tried (after googling and searching here and over at modaco)
deleting the font (Resco Explorer, Windows Explorer from PC)
renaming the font with a new extension youyuan.ttf > youyuan.txt
adding to the font's extension youyuan.ttf > youyuan.ttf.txt
moving the font to another folder, rebooting and deleting from there (wouldn't actually move the font in the first place, only copy)
edit the registry and remove all references to the font, reboot and try same steps above
The first four methods were all solutions I found online that others had recommended when font file removal had been an issue. The fifth I just thought I should try before posting here. The only issue is that some of the apps now have squares rather than chinese symbols - not a problem as I couldn't understand the correct symbols. I've gotten by with random menu selections so far
Am I missing an obvious trick? I'd really like to be able recover some more storage memory, some apps aren't running due to low disk space, when they use temp files etc.
If I've missed out anything information wise, please do let me know.
If I should have read something properly, and the fix is a 5 second job, feel free to take mick, but do please reply if you know how to delete/amend this file.
Many thanks.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for where to look for an answer? I've tried on this forum, general googling and also over at modaco.
Am I approaching this in the wrong manner?
With less than 2Mb free for storage, with nothing else I can find that I could remove, I'm often hitting problems with programs and games trying to place temporary files there whilst being run, and crashing out. Installing anything (obviously onto the storage card) requires finding the CAB file for it, and copying over manually, as otherwise, using Activesync to install in the normal manner, CABs seem to be temporarily stored in Storage, even before you get to the point of being asked where you want to actually install it.
If not delete, is there any way I can set a command to run before the GUI is too far loaded, that would make the file 0 bytes? As I don't use chinese characters, and have removed reg. references to it, I'd not be losing any functionality.
PS Waited until this thread slipped off the front page before bumping, hope this is considered polite enough around here...
No one ever had any idea how to sort this? I eventually discovered that a hard reset and not re-importing my old SMS etc freed up more memory, but I was surprised that no one had encountered this and found a solution?

so from what i understand is that every time you delete the font it comes back after a reboot?
Thanks for responding. No, I am simply unable to delete the font in the first place. I've tried all the steps I mentioned in the first post, I think I was either using Total Commander or Resco Explorer. I tried removing the reg entries referring to the ttf file in case they caused the file to be locked, but to no avail.

Default Photos Location

I have a simple question...
I'm running WinMo 6.5 on my HTC Touch Pro and the default photo folder is My Device\My Documents\My Pictures. All of my images are on Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures.
How do I go about changing the default location to the current location of my pictures?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I would also like the answer to this question. In the today window, I'd like to see my photos under "Pictures" but I only see the default images from \My Documents\My Pictures. Can we change where the Today menu looks for pictures?
Hi,
Download and install advanced config 3.3, there is a setting to change default location for many things inc pics.
I tried that. I changed Locations -> "Default storage location for image files" and set it to "\Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures". However, the pictures option on the main menu is still reading images from "\My Documents\My Pictures"
Where are your photos being stored that you take on ur camera, u can change that location too.
@timmymarsh: I've ran advanced configuration 3.3 and changed the locations. But everytime I goto the album, it still points to My Documents folder on my device and not on my memory card. Is there a registry hack that can fix that?

What rom are you running, is it using manila 2.1, 2.5?
When I take a new camera photo, it goes to my storage card, as expected. It's not the same location as the Pictures shown in the today screen, though. In my case, I'm using NRG rom with Windows Default today screen.
Can you post a screen shot of your today screen or the link to the rom u have flashed? If it is what i think it is, the answer is straight forward.........
Here's a screenshot of my today screen, with the pictures option showing one of the default images on the device.

Oh, and I downloaded the ROM here: http://hotfile.com/list/93327/8db99b5
Ok from reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397334&page=3, it would appear you have to rename the folders on your storage card to storage card\pictures for cmyphoto plugin to read them.
Also try this out, havent tried this myself : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501584
I can confirm that if I put pictures in \Storage Card\Pictures, they are shown by the Pictures tab on the today screen.
Thanks for the pointers. I will take a look at the customizer apps as well.
Follow up. The customizers I've tried simply let you rearrange the order of the tabs, and/or provide a UI for editing the registry settings associated with these plugins. There doesn't appear to be any way to set the path where CMyPhotos looks. I hope they add it in the next version.

Ok, when i was researching, searching on here didnt give many options that confirmed were working. THere are many reg entries that one would assume would work, but on trying didnt.
I think the best thing is the one you have tried so far and renaming the folder on storage card and moving any pic to there.... You can also change ur default location for camera pic if need be to that location via adv config...
Cheers.

[SOLVED] Mobile pages doesn't fit the screen in Opera (9.7/10b2)

Hi guys,
Got an annoying problem with my Opera. Everytime when I'm loading special mobile-webpages such as m.spiegel.de, wap.bild.de, or m.espn.go.com these do not fit my screen and it is not possible to zoom out to make it fit:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ticking mobile-mode diesn't help me out (and I also don't want it because I'm briwsking non-mobile websites (like XDA) also and that looks quite crappy in mobile mode. I also changed my UA in the registry to the one of Touch HD.
The pictures and also the written parts are always too broad for the resolution.
Do you all have the same problem? I'm using German 1.48 stock ROM. If you don't have the problem, how can I solve it for me?
Big THX in advance!!
Did you try Internet Explorer?
I like Opera a lot, but on mobile web pages it sometimes looks weird. On touch.facebook.com it doesn't always shows the space between sentences. Same on my Nokia N86, i prefer using the native Symbian browser when visiting m.something.com pages, rather than using Opera
Hi. Yes, you're right. They fit the screen perfectly in IEmobile. Good to know. But I'm still asking myself, why can't Opera do that?
Doesn't anybody else have that problem as well? Does nobody browse mobile-pages with HD2? Pleease help!!
I honestly don't know.
I like to nag opera with such issues
Good news: I solved the problem by myself!
The reason for the crappy displaying of mobile websites in Opera are the default Opera-settings by HTC...
For anybody who's interested - here's a step by step guide to change these settings:
1. Open Opera Mobile
2. Type opera:config into the adress-bar
3. Click the point "Adaptive Zoom"
4. Change the values to the following:
I guess that the only point that's really important causing my problem is the "Default Zoom" - by HTC it was 175% I think - 100% fit waay better into the screen...
5. Click "Save" right below the "Adaptive Zoom"-settings.
6. Restart Opera.
7. Because of the big WVGA-resolution it may be useful to go now into regular settings on the bottom right and tick the option for biggest font-size as possible...
8. DONE. After this procedure the pages (same as I capped in the initial post) look as they're meant to be - like that:
Hope that I could myybe help someone with the same problem like I had - as XDA helped me approximately for 1000 times.
Cheers.
Hi, this is exactly what I am fightning with....
In Opera, when I look at the adaptive zoom, set it to 100 (like you) it WILL not resize the browser window??
I cannot make it zoom so it will fit full screen widht?
I put in the same numbers like you - it still too wide. After changing the numbers, the screen where you type in font sizes gets VERY small?
Am I doing something wrong?
Helle
Don't know what causes your problem. With my configuration e.g. the normal settings-section in Opera gets quite small as well, but I guess that's because of the browser is not written for such a big resolution. What you can do is changing the font size. First in normal settings under "display" (don't know the exact name because I'm using a German device - take it analogously) - choose the biggest option for the font size; second you can edit the font sizes also in the aboutpera-area. I suggest just some experimenting (I realized, that when I tick lots of settings to default (not HTC's default) - it gets looking better and better - HTC just messed up the settings obviously...). You can after these experiments easily undo them, so feel free to test.
hmm strange, I cleared out the cashe, but that did not help either. Tried to set the default zoom to 90% - nada, does not respond ?
It is amazing that the phone company does not make default issues MUCH easier to config....
Can't figure it out ... evv
