htc audio manager missing!

Thanks for the wonderful post! However, I followed the instructions and everything works fine except I can't find the HTC audio manager that I actually really like anywhere in the phone. I tried hard-resetting a couple of times and re-do the whole process but audio manager still wouldn't show up. I tried installing the htc audio manager cab in the separate folder but the installation failed. I also tried installing a separate htc audio manager cab found in another post of original att softwares but i still can't find htc audio manager. I appreciate if anyone can help me with this problem..thanks so much!

device not recognized

Well beat the bloat but now when i connect the device to either my laptop or pc (both on vista) it gives me a message saying the USB device is not recognized. Says the device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. I've already unchecked the advanced network functionality option in the USB/pc settings. Obviously a big problem in that i can't sync contacts and i can't move programs to the device to make further changes.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dealyllama:
False alarm, turns out the problem was the USB cord i was using. Read somewhere else about the cord not supplying enough power or some such. Anyway, not entirely sure why but new cord syncs with no problems.

Sorry for the late reply, was slightly off track the last couple of days. Did you check under Multimedia if there is the Audio Manager / Audio Booster. What are you looking for, there may be even a better program.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] gilmorej:
Thanks for posting this walk-through, I've always hated how AT&T puts their fingers all over the phones they sell.

This is the first WinMo phone I've had, and I enjoy messing around with the settings and what not.

I installed the HTC "vanilla" manila that you supplied and I like it. But I installed the Opera 9.5 beta with google widgets from the Opera mobile site instead of the Opera you included. The problem is, that I cannot get Manila to launch Opera when I click the picture of Earth on the internet tab. Actually, I can't get it to launch anything. I tried editing the DEFBROWSER registry key, but had no luck there, even trying to make it launch IE. I read on some other threads about editing an XML file in the "Program Data\Manila" folder to change what browser launches from the internet shortcut but this version of manila you supplied doesn't seem to create such a folder. I tried searching for a file anywhere on the phone that includes the text to be edited but the search returned nothing.

Do you have any suggestions about this issue?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
I'd say throw Vista away, hahaha

Seriously, get the latest WMDC update, 6 .2 AFAIK.

Update your current version and try.

Also play in connection settings with USB to PC hopefully it will connect and sync.

@gilmore

I am at the Fuze so cannot research that easy right now.

Will come back later.

zips in the rar

tyguy, quick question before i start this process. there are some zipped folders within the unrar'ed folder you provided in update 1. do i unzip those as well before i begin, or are those meant to be zipped upon installation?

thanks so much in advance.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zenithcoolest:
tyguy: Any new apps you tried on your phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@jdavidev - Content

I had to download update_1 myself again, tooooo long time ago.

There is actually only one zipped file in it "jbed-untrusted-fix.zip" which is an application which removes the naggy "OK confirmation" for jbed apps which use the internet. Everything else are installable cab files (which may look like zips but are installable on the phone).

In general, since time moved on and pending your skills you may use other programs and/or even Manila (take a look at xboxmod's TF3D) which should run on a debloated ATT ROM as well.

@zenithcoolest - Apps

Hey mate loooooooooooooong time so see! How have YOU been? Apps?!?! Oh well look at my sig.. Different ROM, new TF3D2 (Manila from the Rhodium) but apps are the same. I still fight my iGO8 lag (will install March 13 2009 tonight) but so far so good. I need my phone as a reliable tool, played with pointUI as shell but that takes too long to restore after a ROM flash, so I went with NRG's ROM for now because it serves all my purposes and even though he released rapidly new versions, to recover to all working after a flash is down to 20 min. Install iGO, install fuzeberrynoenvelope, install htorch, install Galarm, make two reg hacks and copy lnk files from SD into Windows\startup\programs ---> Done
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jdavidev:
thanks, i've looked at xmod's TF3D, but it appears its not entirely stable yet, with some bugs with time/weather... want my manila to be stable.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@jdavidev

I wouldn't say it's unstable.

The issues are that, if your city is not in the weather database, it may require some editing.

The "time off by one hour" ... there are some ways and fixes in the forum. The easiest is to set up your city (or a city in your time zone) in the WEATHER TAB and later on select this city as default city when you tab the clock in the TODAY screen. Not really a bug, more a "feature" that HTC put in because it's an HTC bug not a bug generated by porting the latest Manila.

Beside this I'd consider it stable BUT highly advise that you flash a CLEAN ROM (which doesn't come with Manila) and install xboxmods Manila on top (version D AFAIK). IF you use a Manila ROM and just disable TF3D in today prior installing xboxmods Manila you'll buy into gazillion of minor quirks and issues (been there done that, believe me please).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jdavidev:
thanks for the info and quick response. there is just SO MUCH info on these forums, it's hard to digest it all, even with google search. having fun so far, did your bloatware free setup... just getting used to the new gadgets and customizing. TF3D seems to be running slower than before, but I think I installed all cabs on the device... first win mo device, so i have a lot to learn, just navigating and playing around. it's a whole new world.

thanks for all the input and advice
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
If you play around with software and stuff get a good tool for clean uninstall (memaid or sktools). Sometimes it's easier to just hard reset and start from scratch.

Just backup your PIM data (emails and contacts) and read how sashimi works to come back quickly. As said before system tools and browser are better installed on the device while apps can be installed on the SD.

As far as speed goes look into Manila tweaks. There are some good threads about. If you are not scared flashing a new ROM, perhaps you have seen that there is a new ATT ROM out. Just sneak over to the ROM thread, should be on page two or three.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jdavidev:
hard reset, trying again. i love the look and the ability of the plain TF3D you provided, but it is so much slower than the stock ATT TF3D. in fact, everything runs slower. I know, I should just flash a custom ROM, but after reading this entire thread, and haven't seen anyone complain how much slower winmo and TF3D are, I'm kinda concerned I'm doing something wrong... and shouldn't graduate myself to full flashing, if I haven't passed the first test. Have you seen, heard this issue?

I don't want the stock ROM, I didn't buy this phone for that, I want to customize buttons, layout, functions, etc. but still need it to function for work.

thanks

How to uninstall a program

O.K. a real Newby ?; can someone tell me how to "uninstall" a program. I just loaded TCPMP and the related cabs for WM 5 and now need to uninstall that so I can install one that might work on WM6.5. I don't find a "windows style" add/remove programs. Any help?:o

I'm using a Fuze with RRE's latest ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@Bohnzy - Uninstall prg's

Perhaps the wrong thread to ask but I suspect that MS has it still hidden somewhere under "system" 'cause I believe they didn't reinvent the wheel in terms of basic system functions and control.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zenithcoolest:
work has been keeping a lot busy... hope you are doing well... I heard about this new TF3D2

can it be installed on stock AT&T ROM or it requires flashing?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kmo22:
Which link is first?

I'm about as NEWB as you can get. Since all the links were moved to a separate place, which link is the one I need to unzip to my PC first?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@kmo

Go with update 2. I will remove the link to the older version as soon as I am back at a PC ("fuzing" right now).

Update:

Updated post 349 with the links and removed the older essentials to cause less confusion
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
I thought I give it a few days. Did you resolve your speed problem?

Did you play with adv config? There is a whole thread dedicated to Manila speed tweaks.

@zenithcoolest - TF3D2 on stock ATT ROM

Just tried it today. IT WORKS!

There is unfortunately a catch:

To have it performing really nice better do a hard reset, skip the bloat and install version V1D.

JUST BACKUP your PIM data (contacts, emails, personal docs and notes stored on the DEVICE) and do NOT perform a full backup and restore because it WILL FAIL!

After you have a clean phone install the latest version from here.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dbinnc:
So I got through this ok, but couple of things.

I saw a vertical scrollbar that had letters and you could zip through lonf lists like in the weather screen real fast. What cab is that? I can't seem to find it.

To get rid of the green color, do I just import a TSK file?

THanks,

First off, thanks for the great and continued help with this thread tvguy and all the other contributors, I'd be totally lost without this.

One thing I'd like to have different... as soon as TouchFLO 3D loads, the bottom two options on the main screen change from Calendar + Contacts >> Phone + Programs, any way to keep these options from changing?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] chopsticks21:
Ok, I am a complete newb with this Fuze. Just got mine today, mainly because I hated the eternity, and ATT has nothing else worth spending money on.

I've spent several hours now looking around, trying to figure out how to get rid of the bloatware to make this thing run faster (I really am baffled by how slow and unresponsive it is. absolutely ridiculous brain fart on the part of the designers).

So far, I can't realize a coherent set of steps telling me what I need to do, and how to get it running well with everything that I absolutely need, for it to do what I need to do. It seems like everything is just spread out everywhere. i.e. takes five clicks to get to the camera, 6 clicks to get to a text message, 4 clicks to get to my email, no idea how to even turn on the camera flash....

Thus far, I've done the hard reset, followed by the soft reset removing the bloatware. Now I just need a set of steps telling me where to go from here. And I'm talking about holding my hand the entire way.

Help would be unfathomably appreciated. Thank you in advance.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@dbinnc - Scrollbar and green

The scrollbar is a random search function and AFAIK not supported in the Manila version provided. Sorry pal.

To change from green to other highlights isn't just the TSK file. Manila is there a little bit stubborn. Just look around in this thread and the forum, it DOES require a reg edit. Not sure if "Snobrdinrtiste_Rhodium_Blue_Highlights" will work since they are for the latest Manila aka Rhodium but I'm 100 % sure you find what you want.

@jbhtc - Change softkeys

Nope that's a default issue with Manila... but you're not lost.

In the essentials pack is under \Diamond_Config\Diamond Tweak 0.5.3_English

Install on device or SD and open it. Under "14. TouchFlo3D" you'll find 14.4 Left and 14.5 Right softkey. Just edit the FULL path including the exe you want on the corresponding softkey (example \windows\operaL.exe) to start opera. I do like the direct reg edit more. Just open the reg editor provided with the @essentials (04_PHM_regedit.Mrln_ARM).

Tools - Find - "LSK" (w/o the quotes make sure that you look in Keys / Values / Data). You'll find under HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila HomeLSKText (which is the TEXT the softkey will say) and HomeLSKPath (which is the program to be launched - as above FULL path). Leave "Argument" alone and do the same for RSK (Right Soft Key).

@chopsticks21 - Holding hand

Well, where are you located, let's hold hands and cry over WinMo...

Ok, what you need is some patience. Read that f...ing post 1 at least 10 times and try to get that thing booted (aka hard reset and skipping the bloat). From there follow the steps in post 1, almost everybody was able to do it, if you fail, not a big deal, you have no data yet, hard reset again (sorry mate but that's the game until you know more and how to do things). From there surf over to Fuzemobility and type "PTT remap" in the search field (not on top, that would be an RSS search, on the right side 1/3 down). That will lead you to http://www.fuzemobility.com/ptt-remapping-revisited-application/ where an application is named or to the original post http://www.fuzemobility.com/how-to-remap-your-att-fuze-ptt-button/

It sounds more complex as it is.

So now you should have on a long press of the PTT i.e. the camera (wow no more 4 clicks).

From there go step by step. As soon as you have data (either entered manually or via active sync) BACKUP your PIM data. PIM contains all contacts and emails which is the biggest loss, everything else can be recreated relatively easy, trust me.

And don't forget to look at Doug's page http://www.blownfuze.org/

Other readers of this thread chime in please as well to give chopsticks21 a good start!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] chopsticks21:
Well, I really appreciate it.

So far, I've done the usual hard reset, soft reset, reload opera/touchflo/ms security. So now I'm sitting here with a slightly faster phone, I guess. I guess all I'm looking for next is...what does someone who hates the eternity with a passion want most from their fuze?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
Chopstick, that's a tough call.

I only can speak for myself. I need a reliable fast phone which I use (almost) as a pocket PC and navi.

This reply is written on it, I went to a place in LA today I've never been before using iGO on the phone as navigation system...

I do have more than 1200 contacts, at about 200 winword docs and 20 excel sheets, do all my expenses over the phone etc. etc..

So it's up to you, mine is not a toy and simply a very productive device.

After i install the

SPB Mobile Shell 3

or

Iconsoft Phone Extension (PhonEx) v1.4 Beta 3

My battery dies down, without me even talking on it

wondering if its my imagination or someone else haveing the same problem :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@jbhtc

Your welcome. Did you install the latest Manila (aka TF3D2) or went with the supplied one?

@ilordvader

Oh "Lord" (chuckling) SPB Mobile shell 2 was fine on my Kaiser what killed the battery was SPB Pocket Plus with all extensions active.

I don't know what iconsoft's phone extensions do (also a little late to google around right now since the alarm will go off in 5 h) but get a good task mgr (dot fred or so) and look what's running AND how much memory the apps take. Memory has to be served thus power is needed.

Did you change the Radio by chance and what Radio are you currently running?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cincy1020:
Hi:

It is not your imagination. Since installing MS3, my battery goes down about 40%-60% in 2 hours, with no other phone use at all. I actually had to disable it, and will definitely not be buying it once my trial is up :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jdavidev:
i found a plain manila from NATF that seems to perform better, and played with advanded config, diamond tweak and tf3d config. i went with your recommended tweaks, then went from there, trying to get more responsiveness twitching from tab to tab, and in and out of programs. it's better, but certainly not happy, but it is stable, so that is more important.

been looking at some of the cooked roms, but they all seems to have bugs one way or another, so maybe I just wait for the new att official release... try that with and without bloat.

when did you do an update 2 to your package?

it had a Very nice feature that we could sync the Contacts

Is there any other Freeware to do that ?

dont mind paying for a good software

I just feel i need a Better backup than sync with comp

so i dont need to depend on my comp

Also need CAB to Fix Yellow Pics on my Att Fuze

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@ilordvader

Radio - hugh??

First it gets displayed during the boot and secondly "Start - Settings - System - Device Information" will display it second to last in the list.

Sync:

Google offers an active sync service and I've heard that you can break your arm and leg to get Thunderbyte mail (Mozilla) to sync. as well but please don't ask me how. I have activesync with an MS Server therefore no issues.

IF you use google to sync be careful because google will (as well as MS does) overwrite your existing contacts. You may import them through a CSV file first into google.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ilordvader:
Thats the Info on my Phone

Wht do u think i need updae to which rom or radio :)

Plz do give links to where i can get it from

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
That's the official AT&T version.

Do you have problems as in battery life or GPS lock??

If yes describe perhaps as PM first since it's slightly OT in this thread. Don't want that others start to flash and brick their phones!!

Is your phone hardSPL'd?

This Radios "20M1" treated me well for a VERY LONG time (until it came to a point that the ROM I run liked other Radios more)

If you want download http://rapidshare.com/files/171199347/Raphael_Radio_1.08.25.20M1.rar it "should work".

You may run into trouble that the phone gets stuck in the boot loader OR in airplane mode, for that reason ALWAYS have your original Radio ready on your harddisk, you'll find it here http://rapidshare.com/files/157236372/RAPH_Radio_1.02.25.32.rar.

In case you get stuck in airplane mode put the phone into the bootloader and just flash the stock Radio back.

How you get into the bootloader is fairly good described here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_For_Beginners#bootloader

IF your phone has hardSPL installed but IS NOT security unlocked you CAN USE ONLY Raphael/Fuze Radios and MUST STAY AWAY from Omni/Blackstone/Xperia Radios.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TudorBeast:
I am really confused now... But i really appreciate your help.

I read what you said multiple times and it sounds like what i thought i wrote, i must have worded it wrongly.

What I though we were doing is;

1. Stopping the phone from installing a bunch of stuff (including TF3D)

2. Manually installing TF3D ourselves and then installing a couple other things necessary for the phone to work properly and things we just like in general.

Isn't this the equivalent of letting the phone install everything it wants, then going back and uninstalling or deleting a bunch of junk (which would be almost impossible)?

If i'm wrong, and there is a 99% chance I am, then i'm sorry :(

So can we revert back to original settings (after, say, we do all the steps in your first post) by doing a hard reset and letting the phone go through the installation process without our interruption...?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
This sounds much better.

Yes, if you don't interfere with the default hard reset/clear storage you'll receive a "clean" ATT setup with everything which came with it.

If uninstall would work clean, sure that would be an option but the default system remove programs simply does not clean the reg and doing this manually or using tools - which are not free BTW - would be a hassle and take MUCH longer than simply following the process. BTW most costom ROMs can be installed the same way not installing the benefits and tweaks a chef put in.

ATT programs and cab (most of them) will be still available, just screen the Windows directory for dot CAB files, though not installed
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TudorBeast:
Ok well thank you very much for your help and time!

Honestly I'm still very very scared to do it (being the noob that I am). I mean, I remember back in the day when I tried to install a ROM on my Cingular 8125 and i'm pretty sure I got all the way to the part where I was supposed to actually install the ROM but I somehow couldn't do it so I had a device with nothing on it...

I know I can follow all the instructions properly... I'm just scared that maybe I wont like it after i finish. But you're telling me that your instructions don't involve messing with the reset/clear storage... so if i do want to go back I can just "1234" clear storage and i'm good right?

Well I'm scared but I just might overcome my fears... Hey we were all there at one point =/
