@ajaye92 - Performance & shell alternatives

TF3D aka Manila is a resource heavy application and will slow down the phone in terms that you could expect more from a 524 MHz device. It's in the eye of the beholder but Manila on the other hand is kind off beautiful... battery life shouldn't be influenced much by it.

Beside the tweaks which DO increase performance of TF3D and the whole phone there are other alternatives (some free some not), almost all of them a slightly faster than TF3D as a shell and all comes down to personal preference.

Below the list I played with:

SPB Mobile shell (not free)

SPB Pocket Plus (not free)

PointUI (free version available)

Homescreen++ (pending on integration free)

Throttle Launcher (free)

All require to have TF3D disabled in Today prior installation.

My personal favs are SPB Mobile Shell and Homescreen++ with an integration from Raulka here in the forum (look at the Dev & Hacking threads).

Only thing you have to careful about is that you need the VGA versions!

@vyapaar

Thumbs up for memaid and that you were able to remove the software and entries.

Slide to answer, do you mean the curtain for the phone canvas or the plain

S2A, S2P, S2U series from A_C (they should work, the VGA versions).

Take a look at the dev. and hacking here at XDA.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jetvan91:
sorry about that, and thanks for the help:)

@jetvan91

Can happen filename should be OzIM.2.0.84.M.signed.CAB
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vyapaar:
thanks for the reply tyguy. I was able to download s2us, s2p and s2v from ppc mobility thread and it seems to work very good. Thanks for the recommendation.

Any update or tips on the face down mute function?? Like I mentioned earlier, i have changed and rechecked the entries both in registry and tf3d config, they are there but the function still not working.

Please let me know if there is any alternative but if not, no sweat. I have tweaked my phone enough to last for a long time.

Thanks

k ill try that
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@vyapaar - Face down mute

Bums me out because I just played with it (enable and disable). I DO get one additional ring through when I flip it over but then it's silent.

Last two things I could think about are:

Calibrate the G-sensor - soft reset (start - settings - system - G-sensor)

Open adv cfg and set G-sensor polling to 250

Hope that helps otherwise I have to ask or look around since I cannot stage your problem.

@vyapaar

Don't know these pages, can you send the whole link that I can try which browser WILL work?

I assume you need flash so it's save to say Skyfire will do and Opera Mini may do. For AT&T's mobile TV you would need to install MobiTV.3.0.4.68563_signed.CAB from the AT&T Stock software pack.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mda4:
Is the MobiTV.3.0.4.68563_signed.CAB the same program that ATT loaded onto my phone? The MobiTV didn't work for me; I got an error message saying it wouldn't work on my resolution. Besides, it's a subscription which requires a monthly fee (I think), so I wouldn't be interested in loading it if it's the same program. However, if it's a better program or if there's a workaround, I would like it very much.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@mda4 - MobileTV

It's exactly the program which was installed on your phone as you got it from ATT. Not sure whsat you want in terms of streaming Media or TV.

For money you can get SPBOnline or DiamondTV. I'm not a podcast or so user so some reader feedback would be great, too.

tyguy

hello tyguy. thanks for the reply. i tried opera and it works lot more than internet explorer. when I go to click on a movie, it say that I do not have adobe flash player and "click here" to download it. When I do that, it says the "platform not supported". Any fix for that ?

I am assuming i need driver to download adobe flash player

pls. let me know
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@vyapaar - Flash support

Type "opera flash" as search criteria on top of the forum tree.

You find Flash 3.1, ppc7, Flashlite and tons of other stuff.

Fact is that flash is currently only partially supported by ANY browser. Some pages may some may not work!

Flash is pretty intense on mobile devices thus the "not supported" answer from a host. Only workaround right now is skyfire (in > 90% of the cases), I attached the latest version (0.9.0.9151)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vyapaar:
tyguy

you are right tyguy. I checked skyfire and it seems to work just fine, so far from what I did. Opera was doing a little but no video but definitely better than IE. I guess Skyfire will be my choice. The cab files you forwarded to install for skyfire, is that same one already included in your first post, coz if it is, I already have. I will intall this one if this newer than that.

thanks

Mic on Phone

I'm having a peculiar problem, and I think it occurred after I improved my phone on post one. Just to clarify, I don't think the actions in post #1 caused the problem, but I altered the phone function somehow.

Here's my problem: When I talk on my phone, I get A LOT of static. It's like my mic is on, as in a speakerphone, while I'm talking, but I don't hear the other party like they're on speaker. Has anyone experienced a similar event? I'd appreciate any help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
This CAN be Radio related.

Best do a soft reset (stylus) and try again.

I still wait for an answer if you HAVE TO hardSPL the phone prior using another Raph/Fuze Radio or if you can just flash another Raph/Fuze Radio without bricking the phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ajaye92:
Tyguy i followed your instructions and have loved the change of function and look to the Fuze

one question though, it has happened about 3 times today every few hours,

the phone said " microsoft encountered a problem with the manila.exe" and that it had unexpetedly showed an error or something, and the TF3D will not respond to any action unless i restart the phone

i restarted the phone today 3 times because of this

any thing i could have possibly done wrong? i follwed your instructions to the T
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mda4:
Thanks Tyguy; I should've done that before posting. Anyway, the phone seems to be working after the soft reset.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@ajaye92 et all

Anybody else has this problem?

Did you BY ACCIDENT install the OEM Manila on the SD card?

What other software and tools are installed (nothing ain't be the right answer - LOL)?

Did you try to do a stylus soft reset?

Sounds like a pattern related to something, need more info.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ajaye92:
All i've installed and done to the phone is the step by step at the beginning of this thread

i think i may know the problem

could it be that i do not have a SD card and did all the steps and saved your @essentials onto the phone memory and not on a outside card?

thats all i can think of that i did that veered from your instructions
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@ajaye92

No, this shouldn't cause any problems beside ... check your free RAM on the phone, you may have exhausted it and as soon as TF3D tries to open temp memory ... there is none. That's the only thing coming in my mind.

Strange, nobody else had this issue. You could try to reinstall Manila.

Perhaps somebody else can chime in. If you have an error code please post that I can look up some stuff but right now I'm ... not of much help,
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mda4:
I'm a noob myself, but it seems to me that if you just set your phone up, you don't have anything to lose by doing a hard reset and reinstalling everything.

ABC / 123 Toggle error

Anyone else have this problem? With the onscreen keyboard, I'm stuck in the "123" mode for all programs (Notes, MS Mobile Note, etc...), and cannot type letters, ie. using the "ABC" toggle switch. I tap on it, and nothing happens (the button turns momentarily grey), still only "123" text. I can scroll through all 9 pages of the 123, and I can switch to different modes of input (full qwerty, etc..) but still am locked into the 123 mode.

I did a soft reset without success. Can't seem to find this error anywhere else in the forums. Help appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ajaye92:
ok so i installed it again to see if problem would resolve, except this time using the upd1 file

now, everything works fine minus the home screen on TF3D

Ty for your knowledge tyguy

I've downloaded the link "update 1" and it gave me the .rar file. Is this the correct file in the first place? I noticed that you say to unzip it and it's not even a zip file. Have I dl'd the wrong file or what? Can you please direct me to exactly which file I need, thanks and I apologize for the confusion..as you can tell, this is my first post :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@princebargain

You sure you set under settings input a full qwerty keyboard?

Honestly I've never seen or heard about such an issue.

@ajaye92

Quick one.

Which Manila did you install?

Did you install any theme and the backgroundalltabs cab?

@mreusswig

Sorry being unclear. RAR is another form of ZIP. Just go to winrar and download the unpacked, latest winzip should unzip rar as well, BTW.

I like to use rar since I had a lot of bad luck with damaged zip files.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mreusswig:
TY!

Thank you very much tyguy for your clarification, I was able to move forward and complete all the things on your first post on this thread and everything came out great. Thanks for taking the time to do this for people such as myself, it's a great help! I was wondering if there's any way to get rid of that annoying AT&T 3G animation with the swoosh sound at the beginning of the boot? That would be great as I was able to do it through kaiser tweaks on my Tilt. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vyapaar:
Hey Tyguy. This is probably discussed before but can't seem to find it...When I am using the slide out keyboard in my task notes or email, it seems to have a very slight delay when typing. I would press on the letter or alphabet, it would pop up on the screen with half a second delay...when I am in "notes" or word program, it seems to type without any delay...particular reason for that ?? any tips to fix ...

BTW, your setup listed is working great and without any bugs. I love the redesigned fuze thanks to your easy to follow steps.

@ajaye92 - Manila problem

This is really strange since almost nobody else had any issues.

If you decice against TF3D there are TONS of other shells and I REALLY do not want to judge in good, better, best but would try them in that order:

Homescreen++ Raulka edition

Throttle Launcher

PointUI

Careful with app and theme downloads that you assure to grab VGA!!!

Last but not least the good old SPB Mobile shell (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/) take a look if you like it prior downloading the trial version.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vyapaar:
thanks tyguy. Yes, i did make the change from 250 to 50 for the keyboard initial delay (post 406) but it still has the lag. Maybe I need to go even lower ?? Anyhow, the lagging problem seems to be only in task notes, text messaging....not in the word applications.

Thanks again however. Appreciate the help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vyapaar:
@ajaye92

Maybe this will help. IF you have installed the manila tf3d - full animation - you may not wanna install the background all tabs cab file. The discrepancy is them being installed together (from what I have in the different postings and it happed to me. As soon as I installed background all tabs cab file with the full animation manila 3d provided by tyguy, my screen went crazy..messed up the clock (stuck at 12:59) with t-mobile sign on the top. I had to hard reset and follow all instructions step by step again...Now it is working fine....with no problems at all.. The same exact thing has happened to others when they installed both manila files....

See if this helps
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mreusswig:
thanks again!

Thanks again tyguy, I thought I did it by disabling the first choice, but I had to go down and eliminate the .gif addresses..that seemed to have worked for now.

I've been having one more issue. Is the word completion supposed to work when you have touchflo on? I can't seem to get the work completion to work and I used to use it quite a bit, especially while driving :p Thank you in advance for your help once again.

Excellent new ROM but I seem to have lost my tethering capability

First off: Excellent contribution to remove AT&T bloatware. It works like a charm.

However, I seem to have lost the capability I had with the Tilt to use the HTC as a modem to connect my laptop to the Internet. I assume that the sanitized ROM probably left out an app or config file required to do this.

I tried removind the Modem profile from Device Manager. The HTC Modem 3 driver did install when I reconnected the device but the AT&T Communication Manager does not recognize the Fuze.

Perhaps I need to install a new Comm Manager on the PC?

What about Internet Sharing? I can't find that on the phone. I read somewhere that with the Fuze COmm Manager is no longer required if I use Internet Sharing. How is that done? Please advise, I use tethering DAILY!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@mreusswig - Word completion

Actually I never used it but you have two options:

T9 input

Settings - Input - Word Completion (I guess it's OFF by default, just check).

@eliut

There shouldn't be ANY change with tethering/modem share capabilities.

Check first

Settings - Connections - USB to PC to have adv. checked

Check if the wireless modem settings are set to USB

Soft reset

Now try the following:

Disable USB connection in Active Sync

Connect phone

Check on the PC under "Start - Settings - Network and Dialup if you see a new LAN interface (that would be your phone). To be 100% sure DISABLE your local area network connection (the one without number) and try to connect you PC through the internet.

Let us know how it goes, please

PS:

Don't forget to enable the LAN connection after the test, otherwise you PC wont know the internet - LOL.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Hard12kill:
I am running stock Fuze with the bloat removed per this thread.

I have searched this, but to no avail.

I am getting numerous complaints by the other party during calls that they are repeatedly getting static on their end and they notice it only when talking to me. It doesn't matter if they are on a landline or a cell phone.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Should I try to exchange the phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@Hard12kill - Phone reception

I would say that's mainly a Radio issue but I have to admit that I'm not sure if you can flash another Raphael/Fuze without hardSPL to the phone. For that reason I punched in a request in another thread - stay tuned.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Hard12kill:
Just thought I would update....

The issue with other callers getting terrible static is fixed now by a hard reset. I have spent in excess of 30 min on my Fuze and no one is getting the static. Earlier today I made multiple calls and all complained about it in just a few minutes of speaking.

Here is the deal: I was running the stock ROM minus the bloat. I had added the Audiopara3.cab, but do not know if that did it. I was also receiving the HSDPA setting, per this thread. I know there are a multitude of things that may have caused this, but I can not specify it as of yet. I hope this helps if anyone else gets this issue.

As for me for right now, I am running a stock AT&T ROM just to make sure all is working right and will begin to build it back.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@Hard12kill - Static

Having a stock bloated or a stock unbloated ATT ROM cannot be the reason for static or any difference in phone behavior because all the bloat is not making any changes to the Radio ROM and/or settings.

Audipara3.csv is nothing but a file to boost in-call and overall sound volume. The file can be used with or without the bloatware installed. Some chefs "cook" it meanwhile in their custom ROMs.

What this does is simply changing Audio Parameters. If you don't like it, just delete it from the windows directory, soft reset and your back to the stock settings.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mreusswig:
That's all taken care of I believe, not sure what else it could be..

Hey tyguy, I already have that stuff filled out properly I believe..the same way I used to have it on my Tilt. I'm wondering if TF is preventing this from working somehow? I'm also having trouble with my device freezing if I try to get on my browser and I get a text simultaneously..I had to power it off/on to unfreeze it. I may just take TF off the device all together, it's not that impressive to me. Can you please let me know the things I need to remove out of the programs to have TF completely gone? I would like to keep the other stuff so I may tweak my device, such as regedit and adv config. Thank you in advance.

Fix to the Internet Tethering issue!

OK, so I downloaded the new AT&T Comm Manager and that didnt work (v3.10 vs v3.8). Then I researched the Fuze Manual and found:

Select Internet Sharing in the Programs tab.

Activate that first, then connect to the PC over USB

(can also be done over bluetooth)

It automatically connects the PC to the Web!

On my Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet... I used Access Connections of the ThinkVantage Technologies utilities to create a location for this using the following settings:

Ethernet Network Adapter (Yes, select Ethernet even though its connected over USB)

Select Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device

Turn OFF Ethernet authentication

The Access Connections is a great utility to help you switch among several available networks.

No need to touch the Registry!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Hard12kill:
Hey Tyguy,

I appreciate all your hard work and information. I am sure I will remove the bloat again, but I am going to redo my phone in small steps to see if this issue duplicates. This static issue has been going on for a month or so, but since I couldn't hear it, I didn't know it was such a problem. What I do know is people I talked to were getting aggravated at hearing it. Especially people at work on a corded landline. The static word occur for maybe 3 to 10 seconds on average every 2 to 5 minutes. I spent an hour + on the phone with HTC today and the bottom line is if it was a hardware issue replace the phone, but eliminate a software issue first. A hard reset and it did not occur at all in 2 to 3 hours of cell phone usage today.

I do not know what caused it. I have not attempted any ROM or RADIO changes. I do know that some software change in my phone created it. The issue occurred both corded and on battery power. I work out of my home and most of my phone usage takes place where I have direct sight of a 3G tower usually showing 4 bars. When I did the bloat removal I followed all of the steps, but did none of the appearance changes at the end. I am sure you are right about it not being the bloat. I am wondering about things like the HSDPA or HSUPA settings or some other change in settings.

Other installations I ran were google maps, Live search, HTC Weather Master and Opera 9.5

Could something in the following make a change that would effect it?

Perform the following changes:

* Performances – File system cache enabled / Cache size 2MB / Filter cache 4096 / Glyph cache 32 KB

* Phone – Show Band page YES

* GPS – Assisted GPS disabled (if you are NOT using ATT’s costly GPS service)

* Data Connections – HSDPA icon enabled / HSUPA support enabled

* Internet Explorer – Proxy Auto Detection enabled

* Light Sensor – Polling disabled

* Miscellaneous – Security warning disabled

I believe your are a great asset to this community. I am not looking for a fight. Please understand, that I'll be damned if I am going to listen to my friends talk about what a *POS* my fuze phone sounds like.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@hard2kill

If a hard reset resolves the issue for some time but it comes back it could be one of the installed apps or simply the phone? I'm on my second Fuze and had an issue with making/receiving calls. The second Fuze just runs flawless.

Unfortunately I'm not the only one who swapped so, if it is that bad, go to an ATT corp store and try to swap. In my (and other cases) complaining about bad call quality and dropped calls makes things easy. At least worth a try. I do not suggest right now to swap the Radio (to 20M1 perhaps). If you have a store close by swing by.

Tethering

Though it's 100% correct what you did you KNOW that you have to have a tethering plan for what you are doing. The method I suggested will work with a PDA personal data plan because AFAIK ATT has not yet the capability to detect that way that you tether as long as you don't overdue it (gigs of data). I'm not responsible for any data charges which may occur because I'm sure that ATT is working on a method to detect this.

Hi:

I installed "08_G - DK 4.3 Add 3G to Comm Manager (enable 3G on off on CommMgr.)"

Now, I can't find it in uninstall programs?

Any idea how it can be removed?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@cincy1020

You are right, it does not appear in the installed programs list.

This isn't a big deal nor a problem because it just sets a registry key to have 3G enable/disable in the CommMgr. If you don't want this switch install Adv.Config, right softkey, Menu, More Settings, Comm Manager. Remember not more than 6 items in this list.
