@dimkasmir - Default apps

After a hard reset and no interuption ALL ATT software incl. TouchFlo "ATT Edition" will be installed.

Side note:

Even though you will not install the bloatware following what's written in post 1 all apps (cab files) will linger under the windows dir mostly in the windows directory. You can also download them from various sites, just look around in the forum.

@zenithcoolest

You're good?

If not tab on an "+" and the available program list will pop up. Choose the program you want and tab it ---> Done

Select "remove" and tab the proggy you don't want.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dimkasmir:
Thanks for the quick reply. I don't think you answered my first question: does this only keep the AT&T stuff from installing or the other apps such as Worldcard Mobile Business Card Scanner as well?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
Honestly I am not 100% sure but - just in case - all these apps can be found.

Perhaps I make an archive with them though I do not have them handy right now.

Thanks tvguy

one more question: do you know a way to export the contacts in the form of csv file to fuze
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@zenith

AFAIK no. The data from the phone, even if you just backup the contacts, are stored in a special format. The personal info incl. contacts are in PIM.vol.

You can ex- and import through outlook (PC based) also as csv but not from and to the phone. I'm not aware of any tool right now.

That's why most here use outlook, either on their home or corp. account to keep stuff in sync
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zenithcoolest:
no problem. I will find it out.

few more questions if you have time:

1) Does Weather or Youtube dont work when I am connected to home wireless network?

2) Also when I turn the skyfire screen sideways, the screen does not shifts? Is it because of this custom Manila?

sorry I am new to this so there are many questions
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@zenithcoolest

All internet functions should work. Play with disablehiddenproxy.

Skyfire does neither support autorotation nor true landscape format.

Should come with the next release. BTW so does Opera-Mini though mini has a landscape mode.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zenithcoolest:
ok i installed disable hidden proxy and applications work except Internet explorer

Is there any application where sideways rotation is possible?

What is the difference between the touchFlo installed now and the one which was before?

WiFi Only Data connection

Just wanted to get some information on connecting with WiFi on my Fuze. When I'm connected to my wireless router I've noticed that the phone will switch to 3G (no warning!) if I go out of range. I don't have an unlimited data plan so I obviously don't want the connection switching without knowing. I have another phone on my plan that I called AT&T and had Data switched off but that disabled the ability to receive MMS so I don't want to go that route. Is there anything out there that will prevent the connection from switching or if not provide a warning of the impending switch?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@zenithcoolest

IE, check with adv config how the proxy is set (under Internet Explorer)

I barely use the PIE because IMO it sucks (at least version 5) and use Opera and Opera-Mini instead.

To change the default browser use a regeditor, search for >defbrowser< and change the path/program call to windows\opera\operaL.exe (capital L is important).

ATT TouchFlo does not have a flip clock and is somehow customized making it in most cases incompatible for theme switching etc. (beside the lousy appearance IMO).

@Melmo

Beside the fact that I personally thing that a WinMo phone (same implies to the iPhone) does not make much sense w/o a data plan, there are two things to consider:

The phone will switch to 3G or G if it is available and stay on Edge if you disable 3G which still will generate data. This switch is totally independent from any other communication path (WiFi). I read somewhere here in the forum a hack how you can disable data. Furthermore IF your phone is registered with ATT (not free purchased) AFAIK MMS's are considered data while SMSs are not. The only true security to prevent switching is to turn the phone off using the comm mgr

@jctn93

I think your quoted thread is a totally unrelated subject.

This thread was created especially for people who do not want (or feel confident enough) to flash their brand new phone but would like to have the HTC appearance (let's call this look-n-feel) and perhaps some performance advantages ('cause the ATT ROM with all the programs isn't the fastest out there) and do not want or need the ATT provided software (where most of it is asking to sign up for additional charged services).

If you feel confident enough follow the quoted thread. Please be warned as a NOOB that, as soon as you flash hardSPL you void your ATT warranty so you better know what you are doing.

In the long run you WILL flash to a different ROM, otherwise you wouldn't read XDA ... ;)

Other readers from this thread may chime in.

i'm a noob and need help

i'm trying to pair my bluetooth headset (Samsung WEP200) but everytime i put the pin number (that is given by the bluetooth headset) it always said "Your Device did not connect with Samsung WEP200. The connection Failed or the passcode is incorrect".

and how to install the hotfix (the hot fix from HTC website) on my HTC Touch Pro? everytime i copy the .exe file into my device, and run it, i always got an error box. Incorrect Device, "Please use the correct Device to Install This Hotfix program!" i don't know how it happen, i download this from HTC support page. i select the phone (HTC Touch Pro) and in the "Software Download" tab it show that there are 3 available download, the Hotfix, the Rom and Application.

can some one give me a suggestion??
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
excelex

BT pairing should work though there are some perks mainly related to WinMo 6.1

Switch BT on and delete on the phone any older paired devices

Go into refresh mode and try to discover a new device

Put your headset into discover mode

When the password entry comes enter passcode, either 0000 or try 8888

Acknowledge the passcode and wait for the error.

Simply enter passcode again and wait.

BT 2 profiling allows for non password pairing for audio devices.

If you wait a few seconds (up to 20) it may happen that a message pops up

asking that your headset wants to pair with your phone. Answer with yes and the devices are paired. Very confusing, I agree but worked so far for all phones and devices under WinMo 6.1 where I have seen this issue.

What fix did you try to install?

Be careful a Raphael is not a Fuze so there may be an issue with the ROM and compatibility.

BTW exe files are usually run from the PC and not started directly on the phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] excelex:
hmm still not working... i'm so frustrated.. i think i'm just going to buy a new headset that is recomended by HTC....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BPB21:
Could this cause issues anywhere else besides BT? I've set up the Fuze without the extra AT&T stuff as described in this thread, but still have a few issues. Are you saying that custom ROMs may drop some functionality?

And I thought the Fuze is a Raphael, just on a specific (AT&T) network. How does it differ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] matt.tumber:
just a quick question, Will this process work on any other branding of the raphael?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dumien:
Can you please let me know if I can go back to the stock AT&T ROM after I do this? I hope I would not have to but in case I am missing something the AT&T version offers. Many thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] matt.tumber:
Yer, all you have to do is do a Hard Reset and this will put it back to your stock ROM
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
Thanks Matt.Tumber for your reply - just catching up ...

@excelex - BT

Don't give up yet - I got any BT device paired so far despite the nasty error. You may want to try again perhaps without even a password entry. It should come up even with a check box .. "Device xxyy wants to connect to your phone Yes/No..." I know it's frustrating but - as said - worked so far all the time.

@BPB21 - Raphael/Fuze/MDA Vario IV

Though the Fuze is a Raphael without front facing camera for video calls it is a BRANDED device. Branded means that you have a provider customized ROM and SPL (boot loader). If you want to flash any non branded, branded from another provider or cooked ROM from the forum here, you have to flash the hardSPL from the forum simply because the SPL provided with the phone will in 99.99% NOT allow to flash a non branded ROM! Even worse it may brick your phone if you try to do so. Same implies to patches provided by HTC. A patch working on the Raphael may or may not work on the Fuze and - again - careful you may brick your phone!

In terms of "missing" functionalities with custom ROMs that's a catch-22.

All custom ROMs have all basic functions (BT stack, GPS drivers etc. etc.), some provide additional programs or tools (regedit, multimedia stuff, adv.cfg. to name a few), while others are "barely naked" meaning not providing anything and giving you the opportunity to install what YOU want.

All of them are usually tweaked in the one or the other way (mainly for performance reasons) and may look different (icon sets, structure) based on the ideas or creativity of the cook. Leaving the ATT programs out will not effect any basic functionality like BT etc. because these are substantial parts of the ROM which remain unchanged.

What "other issues" do you have? Listing them may give me and others a way to find a resolution.

@matt.tumber - Bypassing provider bloatware

AFAIK it's a general step HOW to bypass a customization. It even works on the ROM I run (see sig). If I reset right before the customization - the process which looks actually almost the same as in a branded ROM - none of the tools and programs provided by the chef will be installed.

General:

If you look around in the forum (Raphael and perhaps Kaiser) you see that there are often several flavors of a ROM. Naked (just the basic OS) or loaded (including Manila). Keep in mind, if you don't like Manila and want a basic naked ROM you can use Throttle Launcher, Homescreen++, SPB Mobile Shell etc. etc. as a shell or go even with the default WinMo 6.1 shell (which I wouldn't call shell but...).

It's your choice,

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aSquard:
So.. I will be getting my Fuze this weekend. I'm so confused about the CAB files, where to install them (directory) and what not. Is installing CAB files considered flashing the ROM?

Also are the instructions on the 1st post still good to use? Please HELP!

Otherwise, great site. Glad to be joining the ranks! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
A CAB (cabinet file) is an installable file which contains one or more files inside (more or less like the "setup.exe" you know from a PC)

Almost all WinMo software can be installed either as CAB file or through Active Sync. Following post 1 will tell you how NOT to install all the ATT bloatware, instead you can install a generic TouchFlo3D aka Manila and other applications to tweak your device. There is no basic rule WHERE to install these programs but system programs and shells (Manila IS a shell) should be installed on the device, while tweaks and other applications can be installed on the Storage Card.

Therefore installing a CAB has nothing to do with RESETING the phone it's simply a program/application installation.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aSquard:
And following those steps outline in post One will keep the ATT Bloatware off the phone and install the generic TouchFlo3D?

I'm using the stock ATT rom on my Fuze. Without changing that, how can I change just the boring stock clock? Is there some kind of setup cab I can install, instead of playing with manilla files? I've asked several times and just can't seem to get an answer. I've searched the forums too and can't find a solution. Perhaps I'm searching for the wrong terms. I just want a nice clear or glass clock that would show off my beautiful wallpapers. Yet every time I installed a clock cab, nada, no clock. It would change the font and color of the text on home page sometimes, but no clock. What kind of other clocks/cabs do I need to install first, in order to then be able to install all of the flip clocks/whatever clocks available on the forums? Help would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aSquard:
Will do.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@Godrockdj

Busy day hope memory servers right ....

First off all I am not 1000% sure if the clocks in the appearance package will work with the stock ATT Manila but it's worth a try.

Before you start install TotalCommander from the essentials and disable TouchFlo in Settings-Today.

Start TotalCommander and set it to full screen, virtual 2 window mode (Show - 4th one from the bottom) and have "Hide files in ROM" files unchecked - see screenshot.

At the right top you have a little arrow ">" with switches between the two windows.

Point one window to "device\windows" and the other one to "Storage Card"

Create on the storage card a directory (let's called it saved).

Point with the arrow to the windows dir (will take some time) and copy the six files named in post one into "saved" on the SD to keep them in case something is going wrong!

Note:

You may use active sync to copy the files from windows to a directory on the SD but be aware that it will take a loooooooong time to load the directory view. You CANNOT copy the new files into the windows directory using active sync because they are flagged read-only.

Download the appearance pack from post 1

Unpack the RAR on your PC and copy them to a directory on the SD and copy them into your windows dir.

Soft reset

Enable Touch Flo

Soft reset .... and let us know.

A transparent clock will be under

\appearance\Clocks\Matt_Jackson

0aa5b915_manila

1bbfdc9b_manila

1c813f6c_manila

4e670504_manila

78ca32be_manila

757e7332_manila

If you want/need screenshots of all clocks in the appearance package let me know.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Godrockdj:
Thank you so much for responding. I did all of this successfully and came up with the same result as the other clocks I've tried - the little icons by the call history and calendar and also the alarm text changed from the standard black to white text. It does appear as if the font of the numbers in the clock have changed - they're shaped differently and now the colon in between them is also changed to white. The numbers seem like they would be transparent except that ugly grey block is still there in the background... that's the problem. Is there some other cab that needs to be installed to remove it? I can't be the only one using the stock rom that is trying to change their clock...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@Godrockdj

Sorry to hear and thanks for the try out.

Back to stock, just copy the HOPEFULLY saved files back into the windows dir.

The problem is actually NOT with the ROM it's caused by the "$$%&"##*" ---> not suitable for public ears <--- stock ATT ROM and provided TF3D which is far away from the original HTC TF3D.

I do NOT suggest to remove this version using good tools (you may try though) and rather suggest to disable TF3D and install one of the Manila packs provided. Though I assume it may create a mess, it may work.

Faster and less painful would be following post 1, proven to work, according to the feedback in this thread.

I've manually entered all that several times before, although not with leaving password blank (usually went ahead and used the standard CINGULAR1).

@zenithcoolest - Performance

Not tooooooooo much you can do with the stock ROM.

There are some tweaks which work great with most ROMs so give it a shot:

Use Adv.Config

Change File System Cache to 8 MB

Change File System FILTER Cache to 131072

Confirm and soft reset

Use reg editor

HKLM\System\Storagemanager\FATFS

Cachesize change current value to 32768

Confirm and soft reset

This may help to speed up performance a little bit but it will cost some conventional memory (which we have plenty other than on a 64 oe 128 meg device).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
@PythonFanTN - ims.cingular

VERY strange :confused:

I've seen your cross-post in another thread and do NOT see it with any Fuze here (3 to count 2 with ATT stock ROM tweaked and mine with conFUZEd on it).

Two questions:

Did you play and tweak with Cingulars MobiTV?

Do you use the PTT function or made perhaps a mistake while reassigning that button?

These are the only two issues which could come in my mind. AFAIK ATT didn't change any services.

Ahhh, last but not least, do you have one of the new orange/golden SIM cards?

Edit:

Try to run the attached CAB though it shouldn't change anything....
