Hello!
I’ve searched around this board and Google, over the last 30min and have not found an answer yet.
I installed a rom by Kumar, which I happen to be very, very happy with. However, I have come across a problem that I hope can be fixed. When you set up your stock US T-Mobile HD2 to ask for a 4-digit password after an amount of time has passed with no activity, it does so with a nice looking HTC skinned/themed screen.
Is there a cab floating around out there that can give back to me, that nice looking screen rather than the ugly Windows Mobile default screen I now have?

I recently switched from using the ATT Tilt to the Cruise (mainly because it's smaller/lighter to carry around) It's mainly working ok, but I have a few questions:
1) Does anyone know of a decent handwriting recognition software out there I could use? On the TILT i got used to the "block-recognizer," as the lesser of evils, but i would LOVE to find software that can use the whole screen. I use these devices a lot, so after a while that lower left corner becomes all scratched up (even using a screen protector) , and then you have to pay about $200 for a new screen, since the characters no long respond well to Block Recognizer. I"ve tried the "Transcriber" that comes with Windows Mobile 6, and it seems awful, as do the several other programs i found online, such as Pen Writer and Caligrapher, i think they're called? Back when i used Palm/Treo devices, i really loved the Teal Script program, but it doesn't seem to work for W Mobile? Anyone know of anything that could work??
2) Some things worked better on the Tilt, i guess becuase of the ATT software? For example, on Tilt you can use the word completion software in the Calendar mode, but on the Cruise it doesn't come up. And the word completion software "remembers" two-word or longer phrases in the ATT Tilt software, but not in the Cruise. Is there any work-around to be able to do this on the Cruise too??
3) Is it worth trying to upgrade to 6.1 on the Cruise, through some kind of cooked ROM, or better to wait until HTC finally (hopefully) releases the 6.1 ware??
Thanks much!!
Daniel
1. sounds like transcriber

Sorry, but Transcriber is already on the device, and it seem terrible to use?!! Isn't there ANYTHING out there that works ok??
Thx much!

I was wondering ( and I have done a search first ) if there was a way to initiate the windows lock screen where you have to input a pin. I wanted to be able to add a shortcut to the menu to lock the phone so that the pin has to be entered rather than waiting for it to time out. I am guessing its going to be one of those simple requests that is actually quite hard to do.
Specifically I am using an HTC TyTn II with WM6.1
Many thanks
Check this thread
I guess the easiet way would be to write a few lines of code similar to what this user has done. Ofcourse...writing code is a different ball game altogether. If your device was running on WM6....I think this would be exactly what you'd be looking for.
Hope this helps.
Wow, actually this seems to work under WM6.1
Thank you so much for pointing this out to me...
Actually, I am looking for something like that too. I need a simple StartMenu shortcut for my Omnia II (i8000) to just lock my screen on demand (with WinMo default lockscreen).
Anybody knows, what the system file is, that executes device lock?
Hello
I had a cracked dispaly for month and had the great idea to install WM 6.5 now. Everything fine, but now I am stuck in the screen alignment....
I found this tool from code factoy, but it does not seem to work or I am to stupid. Can someone check how to manage it or to find a way?
Thanks a lot!
PS: I posted on the feedback form of Windows Mobile that they should add "a skip" feature...looking on the amount of posts about that in the past, there are plenty of problems and especially blind people are somehow discriminated by this...
Not sure if anyone can help - go easy on me - its my first post!!
After swapping and changing my phone from HTC touch HD, Sony Ericsson Xperia, Samsung Innov8, I decided to get a Samsung HD Omnia.
I am really pleased with the phone and all the features but have got one niggly problem that is REALLY starting to annoy me.
Whenever I download anything from the web, (widgets, orange maps, or anything that would be installed to my phone) I am getting lots of small icons that would be used in the program ive downloaded going into my media album viewer/Media Browser. This is making it an absolute pain in the backside to try and differ between my own photos taken and the stupid icons that it has downloaded.
An example is downloading orange Maps - I now have over 200 small icons (arrows, signs, MPH limits) that have fallen into my media browser.
Ive looked through all settings and cant see how to turn this off..
I usually come here to find all of my solutions but so far havent seen this problem. . Can any of you clever people assist?!!?
can noone help??

Welcome to the forum
As this is an HTC devices only forum you won´t have toomuch atention.
However there is a thread in off topic regarding samsing, perhaps there you´ll find your solution
Good luck,
Despite some minor improvement in 6.5 and 6.5.x in compare with 6.1, it’s so strange to me why Microsoft always forget some basic assumptions and doing very stupid modifications?! For example I cannot understand why in 6.5 and 6.5.x drop down start menu which is contained recent opened application is missed, while it was so useful!
Another Foolishness thing is the new lock screen! Why instead of locking the home screen or today screen which is contained user required information, a new lock screen created? And then due to the shortage of information in lock screen many developers are working to make it as complete as possible!? Also why there is a lock button just in Start menu page? If it’s useful to be available, why it does not exist in other pages?
Anyway, it’s always been fault of Microsoft! Day after day creating new things, but loosing basic concepts like ease of usage and simplicity. You can see this matter from moving from XP to Vista and then to W7!
I wish somebody were in Microsoft to listen to customers carefully and check their ideas by himself.
Well said....
I dunno, I disagree. While the recently opened apps was handy at times... it created a lot of clutter on the start menu.
As far as the lockscreen... the new one is awesome. It's VERY awesome. Try setting up an autolock after display goes out. The new lockscreen still displays calendar appointments and lists all missed notifications. It also has a call and alarm feature built in. Very awesome.
I admit the stock theme doesn't look appealing but I've skinned my lockscreen and it is very attractive.
I'm quite happy with just about all I've got, and everything on my phone is running stock. No skins, everything plain and OEM.
That being said, I didn't really play around with any WinMo phones with 6.1, but on a touchscreen device like mine, the almost everything about 6.5.x is better than earlier versions.
In Poland we have a saying: Employer pays just enought for you not to quit and you work just as much that you will not be fired.
microsoft makes crapy programs but good enought for us not to quit using it. And as long as we will be buing they will not get it any better.
To put it simple - im disapointed with my new TP2 because of new "obstacles" microsoft prepared... thnks to this forum most of them are gone alredy
Thread moved as it is not Development and Hacking.
