I apologize in advance if this is something that is well known to all the people who can use the search engine on the forum, but I haven't seen anything like that in the postings i have read so far.
Some time today, I have got this problem that I am eager to solve. I just got my Fuze on Tuesday, so over the last couple of days I have installed a large numbers of .cab files. Apparently, after one of this installations something have changed, and on my Today page there is a white shade of the man's head (if you go to Contacts tab, for the contacts, for which you have no picture, you will see a smaller version of it)
So, my question is whether there is a way to remove it from my Today page
Thanks in advance

Looks like a regular wallpaper to me. Try to change it in TouchFlo: Settings->Wallpaper and choose something different... or restore it to default.
I believe it is so!!
Thanks, guys. Indeed the problem was solved by setting the wallpaper to default. Once again thanks a lot for your help - it is my first WM phone, so I am still learning
no worries. I know many who usually prefer the hard way to learn
Hi ,
I Have a very good idea for an app that is rather simple but very useful. It involves simply a Specific picture which you can zoom and pan around then there are a few text boxes I want included in the app to search.
For example , A route finder that is already on the internet. You enter the details on the box on the computer then the results come up. But i want the boxes off the website and instead linked to my app , then the results appear on my app. So a search function is possible via the application.
The problem is I am a total newbie to codes etc and haven't got a clue where to start in the least. The app is very simple and an experienced person could create it in know time but I am a newbie and willing to learn to create some useful apps to put on the market free for all to share.
Thanks

Have a look at the Android Developers website
Hi ,
Thanks for that , I've had a look but it is so so confusing :S
Oh yes , and if it counts I'm going to be using windows vista to create the app?? Is there possibly a beginners guide to creating these apps or what??
Oh yes and I have now got one part sorted (sort of) , I will use the image viewer already on the phone to allow the scrolling and zoom of the image.
Anyone got an idea how long it would approximately take to create such an app??
I know you can change ringtones in Mango, but I'm confused if there is a way to create custom alerts as well.
Is this a feature that just isn't implemented yet?
Thanks!

Use the forums search feature, there's a few threads already that explain how to do this.

I did search, and found the only options were linked to Alarm tones.
Maybe you could be so kind as to link a thread/post that goes into Alerts?

Wish people would give the links out and not say "search for it, its out there". I searched google and asked twice on the forum, nothing. If it can't be done fine, but if it can people need to show others.
Also still wondering if this is possible..
Use any music editing software(audacity etc) or Myxer.com and create an .mp3(I think .wav too, I'm not sure) file of the part of the song that u want as a ringtone. It has to be less than 39secs and less than 1MB. Then save the file anywhere on your computer(I save mine where I have my other music). Go to Zune software and locate the file that you made, right click it and change the genre to Ringtone(I had to type mine out) then then sync it to your device and you should be able to set it as a ringtone.

The problem is you expect others to do the work for you. Searching before posting a duplicate thread is part of the XDA ToS.

I can tell you what I did. I followed the instructions in the Mango Tips & Tricks thread. First you need to make sure your intended is less than 40 seconds long & less than 1 MB in size. Also, make sure it's a MP3 or WMA. To do this, used a audio editing software. I used AVS Audio Converter6 (Paid for app). Than load it into Zune by putting it in a folder being monitored by Zune for music. You can check in Zune settings which folders are watched & add or remove folders as needed. Now in the Zune software, find the file & right click on it. Click on Edit, than click the Genre field & type in Ringtone. Than just drag it to the WP7 icon at the buttom of Zune. On your WP7 device, go to the ringtones settings & it'll show up at the top of the list under "Custom". It'll be named by filename btw.

Custom Ringtones
1. Copy MP3 or WMA to Zune Collection. Choose Edit, and type in manually under Genre "Ringtone". The song must be less than 40 seconds and smaller than 1MB.
2. Go to Settings -> Ringtones + Sounds, tap Ringtone. Your custom ringtone will appear under a new tree called "Custom", above "Windows Phone"
Note that it is identified by the filename, rather than the track title.
Also, you can tap and HOLD a ringtone, and Delete will be offered (but only on the Custom ones; preloaded ones grey out delete).

I can see and empathise with TooSlo's frustration here - he's asking if its possible to create alert tones and folks are beating him up for it and sending him info on how to create ring tones. Unfortunately, you can't use ringtones for the various alert tones.
I suppose a hack is possible. It may be as easy as finding the appropriate category and editing the metadata (like you do with Ringtones).
same problem ive had searching for custom alerts.. nobody understands the question.
is there any way to make the question clearer for people to understand what were after? i say that in a non-sarcastic manner truly

I can't find any information that allows for custom alerts. I've been looking for this as well.
Not tried in latest Mango but I did in 7712
Sideload Touch Explorer and send yourself the tone you want but rename as ALERT 10 etc (we have to overwrite one of the built in ones)
Open the email and download the attachment then using Touch Ecplorer look in the volatile folders and you will see your file then copy and paste to the windows folder.
You may have to open the email and open attachment a few times before it shows in volatile but you will find it eventually
Hope this helps
That's more or less the same thing you have to do in Mango, but with provxmls. Follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519
You can try this: Advanced Configuration Tool 1.3.0.0 beta available - for Mango only
That app have this option.
Just to let everyone know I have just reflashed my HD2 to Mango 7720, and used the email, copy and paste to windows folder and it still works
To be more precise email yourself a wma file and call it something like Alert-10.wma the open your email and download then play the attachment.
Then press home key and open touch explorer and navigate to APPLICATION DATA then VOLATILE and then EMAILATTACHMENTS and look in any folders you find here then using touch explorer copy and paste the file to the WINDOWS folder and overwrite.
Then set alert 10 as your chosen tone (or whatever number you used) and hey presto
looks like us without htc have to find an alternative to modify the filesystem? it seems touch explorer only works on htc devices for the time being. I did test out the advanced config tool, but it doesnt seem to have privs to modify much of anything yet
anyone else have luck on LG?

The problem here is that you and many others who have posted how to make ringtones haven't bothered to understand what the original post was asking. This is what is wrong with forums these days. You do a google search and you get a question asked in a forum and instead of any good info, you get a senior member "beating up" some guy for arriving at their site. If you do not want to answer questions then don't post. These types of forums are meant to be a help, so be HELPFUL. At least post a link that answers the question, not a google search that will bring them right back to their question.
The original post WAS NOT asking how to make ringtones; we all knew how to do that before Mango was released. The question was the ALERTS that WP7 uses for SMS, MMS, email and alarms. I too was doing my own footwork when I came upon this question. And of course like many other responses to my google search, they all talk about RINGTONES. I did however find on this forum a post that might answer this one's question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368361
The answerer mentions using something called touchxperience/touchxplorer, but does not go into any detail as to how he was able to accomplish this.
I can imagine I'll go to that post and reply as to how he did it and some senior member will beat me up and say something about how I should do my own research.
BE HELPFUL!! Please.

i had used heathcliff's file deployer and deployed to /my documents/my ringtones (i think it was a .wma)
then changed the registry path for sms ringtones to point to the file. i think i used wp root tools to change the registry entry since it was easier than finding it in the registry.
that should work for LG phones also

I tried it last month and all of the filesystem tools I had attempted were unable to make modifications. I tried Advanced explorer, diagprovxml(I think this was for maybe getting the wifi tether working..), and another one that I cannot recall at the moment. None of these were able to successfully modify the files properly.
LG still no go for me, unless someone else has gotten it to work since I last tried?

That is out dated information neither Touch experince nor Touch explorer are currently working on Mango. Supposedly there is a beta version that works on Mango but you have to donate and ask the dev to be a beta tester and wait and see if he actually responds. Well I'm waiting of a straight forward way.
Hi.
I got a simple question for you all here.
I don't seem to find a method to upload a picture to my friends walls. There is only an option to upload images to my own wall. But how do I send it to someone others wall?
Thanks in advance,
Pemell
Post fb picture on wall
I also miss this feature. I've been searching for it a long time now and it seems it is currently not possible.
I tried going to the official facebook page and even over there it's not possible. (It is, but you cannot browse for the file)
I am now going to try it by going to the mobile site of facebook and the touch.facebook.com site. I'll let you know it it's possible over there but I wouldn't count on it.
I tried it to. The only way I found possible was to send the photo to my macbook and upload it there.
It wasn't possible through the phone at all. Bugger.
Though please keep me posted if I'm missing something.
It looks like it's not even possible to do this using the official Facebook app. Lame.
As for using the browser, it's actually a limitation of the permissions system. The m.* and touch.* sites aren't going to add any more permissions! Mobile IE actually runs in the same kind of sandbox as normal apps, meaning essentially no access to the filesystem. However, it *could* use a PhotoChooserTask (or similar) if Microsoft had bothered to implement that.
Don`t know whether you guys know there is a feature called "Similar Image" on Clean Master, i just downloaded this app this morning and found this feature kinda interesting. While the point is, i`ve took 2 same screenshots before running CM in order to test, while, unfortunately i couldn`t found any results, it shows me "No similar pics" I seriously don`t know why its that, look, the fist thing is i don`t know why they gonna add this feature into a Cleaning Apps? Does it really necessary? Since it can`t detect my issues which really made me feel down about it. Also i`ve heard some cleaning apps got another similar function called image compression, aka, without changing your pixels& resolution, it can simply zip your file into a lower size. Is that possible? Or do you guys think about this 2 features? Appreciated if some geeks or technique guys can give me some hints or reference.
kkkk.
