install htc home on my wizard teach-me one thing....

NEVER REBOOT YOUR DEVICE!

its annoying the time to turn on

edit: there no way....i will format my device and dont install htc touch stuff...

5m to turn device on is unbeleavible
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] redneckms:
I am running the same OS as you and my system is very slow to boot as well.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] joaosousa:
I'm running XM6, slow system, 1 minute and 20 seconds boot.

Htc home, touch dialpad and touch commanager with 5 secs delay also.

I will now install NBD v7.0 and will report asap.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] patryq:
I'm using NBD 7.0 with all HTC stuff installed, and reboot takes less than 1 minute 30 seconds, with entering pin.

NBD is fast, and htc plugin doesn't slow it down much. I recomend NDB 7.0 fot htc stuff. It runs better than XM6

Just trying to a grip on things here...

OK, first things first - I understand that not everyone will have WisBar Advance (WBA) & Advance Desktop (WAD)! But for those that do...

New default theme: I think there are already WBA themes out there that look very much like this.

New Home Plug: One can use WAD to create a clone of this fairly easily, and it will be more configurable.

New Power.exe: Changing the color, etc. can be done (and more) w/ WBA

New Dialer Skin: This can also be gotten for free from numerous places, or easily created.

Audio Manager: What added functionality does this have?

Comm Manager: I haven't seen anything so far that will skin this, so this is pretty nice to have.

So, *most* everything here can be created with other products, or am I missing something? I'm not trying to disuade the efforts here or anything like that. I have been following this with great anticipation! I'm just a bit leary of installing all of this new stuff on my device when I can create the same thing in other ways and it's more configurable, assuming I have the WBA and WAD software. I want to make sure that I am not missing something here in thinking that a lot of this stuff is basically skins (Home plug is not a skin, but can be done in WAD).

Am I missing the boat here? What I would like to really see is the whole 3D launcher/gesture thing done! I think that even if the Elf has a pressure sensitive screen, if larna can create iContact, then the gestures can be emulated well enough by someone willing to spend the time on porting/emulating the launcher. Don't know how slow the 3D rotate stuff will be even on the Hermes, but it would be cool to at least see someone try to port that!

Or the other option would be since they are just cabs, to put the cabs directly in the first post or two.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ericlin0122:
No, u cant hide the keypad since the idea of the new dial pad is for easier to touch. So there is no need to display contacts in the same windows, and plus if u wanna view contact from HTC touch, u just use the TOUCHFLO and it will pop up.

This SHOULD do the trick (worked for me)..

1) install dailerfix1

2) reset the phone

3) uninstall dailerfix1

4) reset the phone

It should be back to normal..

if that didn't help and only if that didn't help, try the following:

install dailerfix2.

This will install older dll's, and CAN cause other troubles on newer rom's, dailerfix2 is UNTESTED.

1. I think that the speeddrain happens, if we have many files in our windows\ directory...

I built a rom with only a few apps (no office/live) in pandoras kitchen -> few files in windows directory... Installed Homeplug, CommMgr and Dialer 2... -> still fast because I haven't had so many files in windows\ by default.

If there are any flashers out there who want to try this out, please do so.

Build a rom with only a few apps and install the cabs -> still fast?

Build a rom with many apps and install the cabst -> still fast?

Home plug

I would like to thank everyone on their efforts to correct all bugs related to this new application. I have tried the HTC Home plug and have encountered the following errors:

1. Weather tab does not update from GRPS only from WIFI (Using T-Mobile US Unlimited Internet Package)

2. Unable to change to other themes "TSK" files other than the ones loaded on the Rom.

3. Phone Signal strength is lower when application installed (I say this because I removed & installed the application multiple times from the same location and it seems to improve reception when removed. Also, it improves the time it takes to register on the network).

4. Deleted the phone skin because I was having problems with the talk & hold buttons. When I placed someone on hold the call will be released. (I was using the latest (Wizard_reTOUCHED__Dialer2.cab)

This is what I have:

T-Mobile MDA IPL/SPL2.16

ROM Version 10.1.0.811 WWE

ROM DATE 8/11/06

Radio Version 2.25.11 (Have tried it with 2.40 & 2.19 UK & signal was worst with application installed)

While investigating the speed troubles I found out that

the newer By_Boto_XDA-Developers_HTC_Touch_CommManager.cab

Has some errors in it:

-it contains dsm, rgu, option.xml, and initflashfiles.text

-the lnk to the manager is in windows, it's not moved to the appropriate folders.
