Hello tyguy....I have a quick question for you sir

I installed the cab file for slydial (directly dial into somebody else's voicemail), and did not like it. Did not work anyways. I was able to uninstall it using MemMaid cleaner...it is nowhere in my files but I still see a "generic" icon saying SLYDIAL in my programs. When I click on it, obviously it does not work since it has been removed...HOW DO I GET RID OF THE ICON....

any tips or directions (it is not in my remove programs list either..)

thanks for your help
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@vyapaar

Don't call me sir - makes me feel older as I am :rolleyes:

Use the search function next time, please! It really works!

I assume the uninstall left the link (.lnk) in the program directory (called orphan links).

Use the file explorer or Total Commander to browse to

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs delete the one which isn't there you don't want.

Remember it may take some time to read the Windows dir before you can switch to the Start Menu dir!

The search would have been:

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vyapaar:
Yes Sir...Thank you Sir....I will use search mode next time Sir.

just kidding.

Thanks for your help.. BTW, I did search but was not typing the right verbage to get to this solution I guess.

You are great as always.

i recently changed my rom with the upd1. my resources is showing 32% is this about right?? thanks all for your help
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
Sounds about right. The % shown reflects the used memory.

You'll see in the forum that most post numbers between 40 and 50%%

You can also check "Settings - System - Memory" to see that you have plenty free RAM.

GREAT JOB!

Nice tweaks. YOU DA MAN!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] acjunglist:
Thank you...

Just got my Fuze a couple of days ago and because of the strict Exchange 2007 Server policies my employer work has in place, I thought I'd be stuck with the ATT bloatware forever. Unfortuantely, it a no-go with cooked ROMs and my Exchange admin won't budge on the policy issue (No creativity)

Thank you for compiling this walk-through. Been around a while and I rarely post because I do know how to search for things on this site, but this saved me a ton of time pulling pieces together.

AC
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
Thanks AC for the nice comment.

However, your company policy has nothing to do with a custom ROM. Sure for your IT dep. it may be easier to deal with a known device but corp email certificates in outlook have nothing to do with the ROM you run.

If there is a special cert they can give it to you, most case the phone will simply request it during the first sync.. I do advise to sync the first time through the air because there the policies will be enforced (akn with "yes") and you should be fine.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wildbird:
Thank you very much

Thank you so much for this comprehensive and detailed post. I appreciate the effort in terms of time and your comittment to maintain it. I got my Fuze 2 weeks ago. Even though I have been working with Windoze Mobile devices ever they were incepted (late 90s?), given this is a phone, I am a little shy to deal with hardspl and rom swaps. This Thread is the perfect start. I actually hit the first soft reset silghtly after the ATT crapware install started, and interrupted it in time to have a cleaner device.

One - minor problem - I can start IE out of of windoze, but not out of touchflow - any hints?

Thanks again

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@wildbird

You really want to stick with IE?

By default touchflo will start Opera (if installed).

Have to check myself how to make IE as default browser since D don't recall the hack out of my head. If you want to give Opera a shot, install the version from my pack.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wildbird:
TYGUY - oh now I uynderstand - it wasn't meant to start OK - so a non-issue. And no I do not intend to stick with IE, in fact would love to remove it if possible. Will use Opera or Firefly - Thanks for the quick reply

Question..

I Followed the instructions down to a T and I'm experiencing a couple of problems with my Fuze... My weather is stuck on updating and will not load my city.. My Wi-fi when I turn it on it just turns back off right away... and overall the phone seems pretty laggy, almost more laggy than stock... I don't get it.. I have followed everything in the directions... Please forgive me for being a newb, but please help! I love the appearance and I love the less "bloat" from the ATT crap... lol.. TIA
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jcylcruzin:
Hi tyguy,

So I've spent the last couple of weeks playing around with the TF3D_Clock_Animated and noticed a few things.

1) Seems PocketGBA works fine when I have Cleartype disabled -don't really need it in my opinion as the VGA resolution makes fonts look pretty good already.

2) I prefer the Landscape 4x2 screen on the Clock-only-animated version as it re-directs to the apps themselves rather than the actions themselves.

3) If there was a version that has the search bars and smooth text message and email opening this would be perfect for me -any ideas on that?

Again thanks for all your help -the speed tweaks really made a big difference.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@joshsquared17

I hate to say it but it seems you are on to a unique issue since hundreds of people downloaded the apps and tools I posted and barely any complaints are posted.

I don't know how MUCH you customized your phone already and what other apps you installed but I do suggest to do a backup (PIM only, no reg settings) and start over with a hard reset - sorry mate.

@jcylcruzin

The only thing I know about PocketGBA - pocket game boy for the ones who don't know what it is - is that it is based on rather old SDKs (development kits) for Windows Mobile 2002 and 2003. At that time there were no VGA devices aroud which would explain why it runs better (looks better) with a non cleartype set device.

Not really sure what you are referring to. Search bars, you mean the little alphabetic bar on the right?

Please explain in more detail.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jcylcruzin:
tyguy,

Yes, I should have been more clear. The TF3D fully animated version doesn't load the ABC search bar on the right for the Weather tab.

Also, If memory serves (I'll be testing that today) the landscape 4x2 menu is a little different (more like an action menu) rather than the TF3D Clock only version which directs to the applications instead of for example new text msg, email, etc.

Would I be able to change items in the 4x2 landscape menu?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Agent Blair:
You can fix that by the downloading both Opera B2808 and Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 cabs to your device. Monx has posted the cabs you can download here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3087973&postcount=2

I did that and youtube worked quite well on Opera. A breath of fresh air compared to the QVGA resolution I had to tolerate before on Skyfire. Just remember, the videos might be slow with the higher resolution.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
YouTube

Even with the latest Opera and Flash you might be only able to load simple flash sides and videos with a speed and quality which sucks IMO.

If you are looking to get more out of youtube get a good player (coreplayer or TCPMP) and WVD (Web Video Downloader) which lets you search even better than the HTC Youtube Player.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Agent Blair:
Yeah, the Youtube app is 100x better than using Opera with Flash. The Opera build I posted is kinda limited, so I suggest to those who want to view youtube videos on Opera, just stick with the youtube app.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JamesR913:
or you can try skyfire

@vyapaar - Enable Voice Command

I don't use voice command but hopefully I recall how it is done. Slick would be a short or long push on the PTT button, or?

Since I'm way too lazy to write it up (others did a better job) the only thing you have to find out HOW to start cybercon voice command (meaning what's the filename of the EXE to create a link) and remap the PTT button.

How??? Here!!!

Hey Tyguy, since I have the "confuzed ROM" provided by you, is it possible for me to get an "UNCLOCK" code from AT&T and use it on this phone. I will be traveling overseas pretty soon and need an unlock phone. ATT said they will provide me the unlock code but I wanted to make sure I can use it on your ROM installed on the phone. I know it ATT Rom, I just wanted to check with you first. Also if you can recommend some other link or thread where I could get the phone unlock code quicker than ATT, I will really appreciate that also.

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] johnfoam:
Can anyone explain what the "CFC" (compressed) versions of manila/tf3d do versus the non-compressed? Are there compatibility differences we should worry about?

Also, does anyone know what the latest version of OEM HTC manila/tf3d is? I see so many different cabs floating around, I have no idea which one to download (including the cfc vs. non-cfc versions). Are there newer ones than what what has been posted in TyGuy's @essentials package?

Finally, TyGuy, were you ever able to get Monx's manila (per your post above)?

Thanks everyone!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Krnboi037:
hey i have a quick question sence im a newbie with my Htc fuze i did everything you said for the preparations but i cannot find the link that you said you provided to Download anywhere on your forum can you please link it
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@vyapaar - SIM unlock

Sir, don't get confused with "conFUZEd" ROMs! The ROM version you see in my signature has nothing to do with debloating the stock ATT ROM. It's a version created by Monx which contained at that time the basic ATT connection settings. Please don't throw the terms together.

You can obtain a SIM unlock code from ATT. If you put a non ATT SIM card in (i.e. t-mobile SIM) you will be asked for an unlock code (given to you by ATT). After entering this code your phone will accept any GSM SIM regardless what the provider is. In your case, when you travel, simply put a local SIM in and your phone will work. Be careful with data charges and set all email accounts to manual download or use the "nodata.cab" which is floating around in the forum. SIM unlock will NOT enable you flashing custom ROMs or Radios, for this you need hardSPL provided here in the forum. hardSPL itself will allow you to flash any custom ROM (i.e. 1.51 conFUZEd) but you HAVE to stay with a Raphael/Fuze Radio (see Radio thread) since a ripped Radio (form xperia, blackstone etc.) will brick your phone UNLESS you security unlock it (see also corresponding thread). Hope that's more or less clear now.

@johnfoam - CFC

CFC compressed Manila and Themes have compressed images which suppose to load faster, meaning all Manila should be slightly faster overall. There is a thread dedicated to "Latest Manila" versions where you can check what's the latest. I DO have Monx ripped version from a Blackstone which is version # 1.2.35091.2_1813.6 and therefore newer than the OEM versions but I'm reluctant to give it out since it was never really tested with the stock ATT ROM. BTW it is NOT a CFC compressed version. If you want to play with a CFC compressed version and themes try to uninstall the current version with a good tool (SK or memaid) but I highly suggest to hard reset and start from scratch since you may run into real trouble getting everything to work smoothly (just read the threads and suggestions).

@Krnboi037 - Links

*Scratching my head* or did I miss a point?

First line post 1

Touched up some stuff that you don't have to click around through the whole thread. All LINKS are now in a separate post (#349) found here.

Clicking on the link you lead you here

Suggested app change to your @essentials

Thank you for this guide. My first go around with it was a little shaky but will be giving it a go again. Not sure what I changed but I sure got it slowed down :mad:

LOL All part of the learning curve. LOL

The app I am suggesting you add is by Steve Pritchard and 600gl. (Hope got their names right.)

Anyway it is called Touch In Call Screen Tweak. The link to the thread is here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=488991

This fantastic little app is actually a working solution to the screen going to sleep when making a call. In short it allows sleep while phone is to your ear. When you pull it away from your ear it wakes the screen up.

It is in beta right now but so far it looks absolutely wonderful. It is better than the no sleep cabs I've seen and tried.

Thanks,

Jeffpo
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aludden:
vyapaar,

FWIW, I got an unlock code from AT&T for another phone (a Samsung) and while in Spain I was not able to use the code. One of the steps in the instructions said to press the star key but the phone would not take that. I wound up buying a cheap pre-paid phone. I'm not sure how you would test it before you go.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] icepick_87:
Download the file in the provided link at the end and unzip to your PC.

I followed the link provided so that I could download whatever zip file was needed, and the file that was downloaded wasnt a zip file at all. It opened in notepad and was completely useless :( Could someone please send me a link to the ROM downloads that I need in order to continue editing my phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@vyapaar

Welcome

@jeffpo - In call tweak

I run this tool myself and it's terrific but don't want to link or include since the versions are not final yet and on the other hand "Where would you start including stuff?" There are sooooooo many good tools out there....

@aludden and vyapaar - SIM unlock

Unlock your phone always at home. Just get a t-mobile SIM from a friend or co-worker to be 1000% sure that the call to AT&T is at least local not international if it didn't work :cool:

@icepick_87 - unpacking

I use winrar since too often ZIP files (large files especially) may get corrupted during a download. Just download the free version to unpack. (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=winrar+download&btnG=Google+Search&aq=0&oq=winrar)

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mobius285:
great directions for a starter like me! i did this yesterday and was very pleased... so pleased, in fact, that i've decided to go ahead and run hard-spl to get winmo 6.5 on my fuze.

here's my problem :-\

for some reason, the activesync on my fuze does not seem to want to talk to the one on my computer... searched the thread and it looks like i'm the only one so far to have this problem. when i connect via usb the little "what would you like to do" window pops up on my fuze, and then does nothing whereas it was usually followed by the secondary window saying "partnering, syncing, etc"

any advice? since i am planning on running hardspl, should i just think about running an entirely different method anyway (i.e. hard reset and the works)?

thanks for your help, and great directions! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] icepick_87:
Thanks for the winrar link. It worked like a charm and i love the way my phone is now.

Just out of curiosity, does anybody have an image of the clocks that are available in the "Appearance" download link? I know it was recommended to save the original files first, but me being able to see an image of the clocks will let me decide if i wanna one of em or not :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@mobius285 - AS connetion

What OS are you running? W2K and XP should be trouble free, Vista can be a PITA but reading through the forum says that the latest WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Manager, or so) will work.

Let's start from the beginning:

The little window which pops up at the phone after connecting will ask "Active Syn" / "Storage Mode" / "Internet Sharing".

Make sure you chose Active Syn.

If the phone doesn't connect disconnect play with the settings under Connections / USB to PC. Take the enh. check-mark out or put it in and try to reconnect. If you take it out either answer the pop-up window on the phone with "yes" or just leave it alone.

Let us know please.

@icepick_87 - Clock

Uppps and I thought I put images in... sorry mate... let me check

Matt_Jackson (just the clock not the whole theme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=458377)

Zituon Black (again the black clock with white letters http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2856747)

JStar black is more or less a reverse Zituon with shaded edges.

Careful applying the whole themes (especially Zituon) I had trouble the first time and just took what I liked most (clock).

un-checking it worked! come to think of it, i think i had this same problem on my old ipaq (i try to forget about that thing :-\). guess my fuze is too advance for my 2 year-old laptop :rolleyes:.

i know it's frowned upon to ask an unrelated question, but i trust your advice after such a great set of directions: do you have winmo 6.5? if you do, which ROM are you running?

anyway, thanks for your help :D

Still Having 3G Problems

TyGuy,

I've posted on this thread a couple times after following your instructions. My phone is great except I still can't get a 3G signal. I can get an H, an E, and occasionally a G (not 3G). I finally went into the ATT store today and looked at the new Fuze, and it was getting a 3G icon on the top, while mine was getting an H. I haven't got a 3G since I followed your instructions. Most of the time, I'm happy with the H but would prefer to not go down to E when I think I should be getting 3G. Any ideas?

MDA4
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mobius285:
un-checking it worked! guess my 2-year old laptop is too outdated for my fuze :rolleyes:.

i've got another question and please forgive me for asking it here, but your advice has earned my trust :p, do you have winmo 6.5? if you do, which rom are you using? and finally: does the fuze need to be unlocked before running hard-spl, or does it do that automatically? i saw people charging for that so i'm a little confused :confused:

anyway, thanks for the help all around either way! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mobius285:
whoops, xda went down and i thought my first post didn't go through, sorry! :o
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
No foul question to ask what ROM I run

I ran Monx conFUZEd 1.51 for ages (3 months) and just recently changed to ... see sig (waiting for the final).

6.5 not my cup 'o tea - dont like that honeycomb interface and rather have a slightly slower but nicer TF3D.

Unlocking and hardSPL are kind off UNrelated.

hardSPL will allow you to load non ATT ROMs.

hardSPL O N L Y DOES NOT ALLOW you to flash non Raphael/Fuze RADIOs.

To flash other HTC Radios you have to purchase the security unlocker.

A SIM unlock code, to accept i.e a tmobile SIM can be requested from ATT over the phone as long as you are a 6 month customer.

Google the intl. phone # since the 800 hotline is akmost useless in that regards.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mobius285:
so what's the benefit to flashing radios? i have a basic understanding of ROMs... basic. so why would you switch radios? just to increase battery life or is there a bigger reason?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@mda4 - H vs. 3G

Sorry slipped my attention.

Pending what icon set you run you WILL see either H or 3G and E.

First check with Adv.Config if 3G is enabled and add it to your CommMgr (in Adv.Cfg. right softkey "Menu" and from there you should find it). If you have to make changes soft reset to reboot the phone.

Go with your phone browser to http://iphonespeedtest.com/speedtest and check.

Edge will give you somewhat between 200 and 450 kb, H/3G should be significant higher. You may have to click the "speedtest" link again because of local the local cache on your phone.

@mobius285 - Radios

If you read the Radio thread you will see that some Radios are better or worse pending in what area you are. Same implies to GPS funtionality, some are bad some are good.

For stock ATT ROM users I'd suggest to give Raphael_Radio_1.08.25.20M1 a try. It'll work even on a non security unlocked phone because it IS a Raph/Fuze Radio and got (still gets) good reputation for GPS, phone reception and signal strength.

I would stay away from RAPH_Radio_1.12.25.19 since you may run into trouble with the rilphone.dll and inaccurate GPS positions using the stock supplied DLL.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mobius285:
alright! i'll do some looking around and see what i can do :)

Thanks for all your help!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] icepick_87:
Quick question, will this same package and set of modifications that has been made for the ATT FUZE also work on the ATT Tilt?? IF so, would i install it all the same way?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] VETTEPC123:
no bloatware vs. new ROM

ok so i followed the steps in this threat and reset as instructed but what i was wondering is if there is a difference in performance or memory between this procedure and flashing a new ROM. which one is better or are there more advantages to a new ROM. i have installed mobile matts vs 7 and everything works fine but would it be faster with a new ROM. any recommendations? thanks a bunch.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@icepick_87 - Tilt

No, though the proceure IS the same (interrupt the default ATT installation process) the Manila and some other files are VGA while the Tilt is QVGA.

If you are looking into that consult with the corresponding participants in the right thread (Kaiser and Development and Hacking). You may look into M2D (Manila 2D) the configuration tool M2DC and 100s of themes and apps.

@VETTEPC123 - Faster etc.

Don't compare apples and peaches. THIS particular thread is for de-bloating the Fuze running the stock ATT ROM with the common Manila not custom ROMs which require at least hardSPL. Actually I do not know if the latest ported Rhodium Manila (by XBOXMOD) will work on the stock de-bloated ATT ROM and I've seen there's a new leaked ATT ROM version out there. Can it be installed without hardSPL? I don't know.

Regarding speed:

If you read through the thread many posters reported vast speed increases compared to stock.

Speed itself is relative and not primarily the first thing I look forward to. Reliability and flexibility are my areas I look for. IF you have a hardSPL'd phone (or if you want to) look into aruppenthals and NRG ROMs since they are the easiest to set up for former ATT users (yes and they are great and beautiful). If you look for pure speed and you are not shying away from some customization until everything is as you want, Monx' creations are the way to go.
