Problem with WP7 custom ROM! - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I'm new to actually posting to the forum, so I can't ask this anywhere else. >:|
I have an HTC Arrive and flashed DFT's custom ROM before, with a few minor problems, so I switched to ansar's ROM and loved it, except for one thing...
When I press the search key, it brings up my recent calls, not Bing. At first, I didn't care, but now it's just annoying. I don't think that it's a problem in the registry, the phone still thinks it's using it's search function. I think it might be a problem with the search.exe or something.
Can someone please help me figure out what to do, here?

First of all if you have app named Root Manager then run it and enable All applications Trusted then you need 2 apps:
1.SearchKeySettings
2.QuickMenu
that i think there are exist in your rom.finally run search key from your phone settings and choose Quick Launch by ultrashot from that list.
But my rom is Dynamic7 hope it helped and Sorry for my bad english

HTC Touch HD remove Telstra

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott
Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!
How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search
Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work

Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??
waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?
Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

[Resolved] [Q] Transfer SMS from SIM to Phone in WM?

I've looked everywhere for the answer, but can't seem to find it.
I am having trouble copying text messages from my SIM-card to my phone memory.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve that issue? I am using an HTC Diamond with WM6.5.
Thanks a lot.
EC
Bump for visibility.
hahahahaha I had tried this for a very long time!
Seriously it too annoying!
In the end all I could do is :
put my sim in a nokia phone
transfer messages to the phone
sent them to diamond via bt!!
Sorry for the lame solution, but there is no other way!
Asus sim manager
Asus sim manager(any version) does it
Sorry dont have .exe n other related files.

Great, but I cannot find the sim manager files, only ROMs containing it (dumping them would take a lot of time). Is there any way you could send it to me?
Thanks.
EC
allright, here's quickmade cab of asussimmgr.
idd, there's option to copy sim msgs into device(and from device to card) there, hmm nice.
i am not sure, if it will work for HTC devices(i've added policy to cab that should allow that), but i think it should.
Thanks
Thanks pupakota

i'd be glad, if it works
Just downloaded and trying it out right now...
And YES, it works! I am very glad you guys helped me out!
Thanks a lot!
You can also use apps below to save the sms located on sim card & import to device.
Have done so on wm2003se wm5 wm6 wm6.1 & wm6.5 custom ROMs
i don't exactly know what you guys here are talking about...
but if its simply about copying a sms from the sim to the phone (as the title suggests) then i don't see how come no one's posted the most obvious solution i've used myself before...
just as background info to those who need to know- i'm running a com5 23569 self-cooked rom on my htc gene (p3400)
and i stumbled upon the solution to this problem you mentioned while going through one of the millions of flashes and restores we chefs go through...
all i did to copy the message onto the phone memory was open the msg to view it and then hit the left soft key to open the menu and the last option on the menu list simply reads 'copy to phone'...i tap on that and voila!! its done...
do let me know if it works coz i don't think it would be this simple and yet left untried by anyone else and requiring external apps to be installed for it to be done...

regardless of fact, if it is working, i wish luck to anybody with many messages..not especially automated process, if you ask me.
for cooks(that flash frequently) matter is entirely different, btw.

don't usually have to contend with too many messages myself...this only arises when i put my sim into a temp phone while the flashing process completes...and at worst i have 4-5 messages to contend with...
ppcpimbackup is my first pick too but i don't remember trying it out on sim messages...worth a shot though...
WOW plenty of options available! thank you guys.

[Q] LG E900 Camera Menu Language

Hi there to all the XDA Community.
I´ve upgraded my LG to 7720 Mango, i did the language mod and added my native one, so far so good...
Now, a little thing started to show up...
If i put my native language, the Camera menu doesn´t work...
I found a way to solve this problem, i have the correct "language translated" XML to deploy to windows folder on my device but all the file explorers i came up with had failed, some of them dont even show the folders, others just close immediatly once opened and so on...(my phone is MFG jailbreaked)
so, is there another way to solve this on this proper device?
I only get the menu working if i change to English language, of course, but i got what i need now but no way to do it!
Anyone?
Thanks

if you had done a little search you would have quickly found this thread. It explains everything in detail.
Hey there, yeah i knew about that thread but even there it seems unsolved...
And another detail, i couldnt post there, i wasnt allowed to do so, as this is my first time being registered on this forum so a lot of restritions are being imposed.
I understand it, anyway ill keep trying on this one.
Cheers from Portugal. :-D

ah, ok. sorry for scolding you. typing all the registry entries from the camerasettingsmanifest file with the MFG tool would be a pain in the neck. I guess one solution is to roll back, use touch explorer and get this into the registry and then come back to 7720. Or wait until somebody releases a new explorer that works on Mango.
cheers from flat Ohio
Thanks, guess i have to wait for it because going back to no-do again would be a pain.
I had to do it several times before to get my language working properly... im so tired of doing it...
Now that Everything was going ok... Bang... no camera menu...
Facepalm... lol

[Q] Facebook Check-In Integration

Hi
I would like to create an application for Windows Phone 7 which posts my location on facebook.
I made it so that it posts a bingmaps location. Though today I have read that there is Facebook Check-in for this, though I couldn't find a tutorial or whatsoever related to this.
Only this:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/checkin/
but this doesn't help at all...
Does somebody know a way to implement this?
Thanks in advance

Hi!
Why reimplement an already working solution? Goto Me and use checkin option. It is working in Mango and I use it quite often.

Yea it is a feature and does work very well in Mango. Soon my friend, soon.

Fortunately! BTW, I assume you can read? Try to read first all corresponding topics: your questions are already answered many times. And before "try to do it myself", you should learn a lot of things...

Short version: Field Test on HTC phones is nothing like Diagnostics on Samsung phones, and the similar hacks are not going to work. That's not to say that nothing can work, but we haven't found one that will for HTC gen2 yet.

Thanks for your Answer.
I have another Idea (Maybe this one is old too) but it worth to shot.
Where does Htc Apps list on the market , Get it's list and download address?
Can't we just edit that , and add one app from anywhere(Web address , address on the phone).
Because as far as i know marketplace allow to install any App with any Permission.
First issue: what good would that do? The problem isn't in the app, it's in the high-privilege drivers that the app(s) use to make changes. Those are part of the firmware, not part of the app.
Second issue: In order to install apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES on an interop-locked phone, the apps need to have the Marketplace signature on them. Homebrew apps don't have a valid sugnature.

Now I really Hate HTC
Because the only device that can't Interop (yet) is the HTC gen2.
anyway , Thank you GoodDayToDie.
Well, last I checked the Dell Venue Pro was never IUed, and I don't think anybody has managed with the Lumia 900 yet either (and I don't even know for the Toshiba/Fujitsu IS12T). Otherwise, though, yeah I hear you.
