[General Questions and Answers] quicksite:
thanks very much! ... Maybe it's written down somewhere, or lots of places here, but i just never recall reading it, as part of "Good Flashing Hygiene" :p

One quick followup please:

For all those times previously when I flashed a ROM, but never deleted the Programs folder from my Storage Card, then subsequently starting installing cab files from my storage card, installing them onto my Storage Card vs the device, here's the question:

Does the system query the storage card to see if there is an existing "Programs" folder on it (in the correct path directory), and then just use that same existing folder to then complete all new installations?

Or does it try to re-create the Programs folder, overwriting it on the Storage Card, then proceeding with installing the first program being installed to the storage card?

HERE'S WHY I ASK: On another thread tonight someone explained to me that one possible reason the device didn't notice the existing M2DC folder within Programs is because I did not follow "best practices" during flashing. He asked if I did a Hard Reset after flashing.... and I had forgotten to do that this time, so, no, I did not. He thinks that maybe this caused a lot of conflicts that would otherwise not occur. He said he ran the same cab to install M2DC using the very same rom version I'd used, and he had no problem at all with M2DC installing properly. Thus, he asked if I did a hard-reset.

any thoughts on that?
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
mm im not sure on the why's but i agree with dee that it is best to delete the program folder before re-install.

However there does seem to be some exceptions (always a bummer which never makes things simple, which i prefer :D). Take Sprite backup for example. If you go into the programs folder on the card and run the exe, it will install itself on the device but still keeping its place on the card. (not sure i made myself clear on that one lol) and i think quickmenu does that too.

I therfore never delete the whole folder but selective program folders inside the main one.
[General Questions and Answers] cruiserrr:
Most of the apps do work correctly from the sd after reflashing a rom.

Simply install an app, customize settings, download registry keys being used by that program and put the xml file in a user config tool so that when you flash the rom the settings are restored. Most of the apps will work, for many of them you will miss only some resident files supposed to be in windows folder but appart from that the app will work (eg google maps)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kainmat1:
heya guys

usually when im searching for devices to send something by BT,

most of the mobile devices appear as unknown devices then it takes very long time to retrieve some devices names

do you have any idea to make it works like nokia mobile where you can't ever see " unknown devices " =) ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] averma:
Took a few hours but finally got quake working on my diamond,

Just unzip and drag the "Quake" folder to the ROOT! of your Internal storage

(otherwise it won't work)

DO NOT RENAME anything (otherwise it won't work)

the zip contains everything but game data, you can get the demo game data form here:

http://quake.pocketmatrix.com/pak0.pak.zip

unzip the file twice (i think) until it doesn't look like a rar/zip file anymore and looks like an unknown windows file

drag it into the ID1 folder

and ENJOY!

Quick notes:

best bet is make a shortcut to the quake.exe and put the icon wherever

buttons are a bit of an issue thought i tried to configure it for our phones best i could

Buttons/Issues:

Volume down = Portrait mode (Make Sure your in portrait before you go into the menu.... we don't have an escape key and you literally can't get out unless you can manage to crash the game or soft reset)

in portrait mode the escape key is.... invisible.... but check the attached picture so you know where it is

Volume up & Back key = Landscape mode (this is what you want to be playing in)

End key = Change weapon

Send key = Jump

Home key = Crash Program

Touch Commands

Top-middle/Bottom-middle of the screen - jump

Left of screen - Change weapon

Right of screen - random weapon?

Up Down Left Right are relative to screen position so don't worry about changing them

use stylus or finger to look around and aim.

Have Fun ! :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] averma:
Oh and you can delete the "Config backup" folder inside ID1, its no longer needed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] averma:
1 last thing, currently the circle "enter" button is to shoot, if anyone can figure out how to make it so you can just tap the screen please PM me so i can update the files
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] mancsoulja:
will this work with all the quake 1 .pak files??? :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] averma:
ya it should, if you have the full quake 1 pak files just place them all into the ID1 folder and load up the game
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] raines43:
Thanks averma, works perfectly with the shareware pak0.pak
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] darko07:
i tryed several times but it won't load,it says : W_LoadWadFile : couldn't load gfx.wad :|i don't have any ideea what to do :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] averma:
make sure it is in the root of internal storage (and not in my documents or something), make sure you don't rename anything and the demo game data is in the right place. as long as those 3 are correct you shouldn't get the error
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] WDawn:
Thank you! Works perfectly on my Touch Pro.

2 questions though: how do you jump forward? I only manage to jump or to move forward, but not both at the same time. And how do i get to the menu again after switching to portrait?

Anyway, thank you for the effort.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] averma:
I forgot to mention, some touch commands

Top-middle/Bottom-middle of the screen - jump

Left of screen - Change weapon

Right of screen - random weapon?

in portrait the bottom 1/2 of screen is black but the buttons are still there (just can't see them). take a look at the attached picture in first post so you can see were the menu button is (basically just click the top right corner of the black bottom 1/2 of your screen - that will bring up the menu)

once you know where the menu/escape key is don't be affraid to map your own control setup on the pro (assuming you want to use the keyboard to play)

but for diamond users use default buttons
[General Questions and Answers] dwizzy130:
Does any developer out there want to take on this project of porting this app to WM6.xx?

http://www.digitalexpedition.com/main/index.htm

The developers stopped it and released it as a freeware.

It is not compatible with anything above WM2003.

It basically emulates the Win XP interface onto our PPC's.

because its nasty lookin
[HTC Startrek] ithinkurdumb:
Hi guys, I'm pretty new to this so hope you don't mind if the questions sound too silly.

Is there anyway to remove extra languages (UI and XT9) from a ROM (I'm using the WM6.1 Std by Erofich), without modifying the ROM itself?

Also, if I wanna patch to another ROM, do I need to make a new SCID and do application unlock again?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lazytrax:
Lets see where I should start. Well first this would not be my first windows mobile phone.. In the past year I have went from iphone>Sony Ericsson P1i>Palm Treo Pro>Sony Ericsson X1a>HTC Dream (Anroid G1)> Touch Diamond. I've always wanted the Touch Diamond when it first came, but i was scared to get it. As you can see all my previous devices have had a keyboard. The G1 has a lot of nice apps, friendly gui and very touch sensitive but it has no 3g for me since im in USA with ATT. As for the phone i am using right now the X1. I really like it alot but there are not too many developers out there cooking roms. I would like to give the touch diamond a try..

For those of you out there that do a lot of texting/Emailing/Im'ing please let me know what your experiences are like.

I have a question about the batt life. one of my main concern. Every phone i have had would last me about 2/4 to 3/4 of the day. I would have to charge the phone every chance i get. Do any of you guys use any im programs such as parlingo or im+?

What is the best im program out there for the phone? (i use to use agile messenger as i thought was one of the best. not sure if it would work on this device)

I would like to hear any x1 and touch diamond owners insights. (I would like to know how your browser experience is like with the 2 different device. *really important to me* I like how the iphone is really sensitive in scrolling and clicking of links. Is the touch diamond anything like that?)

I do kind of look forward to the accelerometer as the x1 does not have this feature.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Handheldloox:
No, it is not.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lazytrax:
humm maybe i should wait for another device..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] intx:
This guy has no clue what he is speaking about...

Palringo works very well on the phone.

With the correct ROM it's extremely quick, great battery life.

With all that being said, you're on ATT. Get the Fuze(touch pro). Has hardware keyboard, and a bit wider. Same software as HTC Diamond, same amount of ROMs(if not more). Plus, US 3G support.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] averma:
I have diamond, used to have Kaiser.

made the switch because was using touchpal as default sip for texting emails ext. realized i barely ever slid out keyboard (unless someone else was going to use it)

so i would say try touchpal on one of your existing WM devices see if you can use it for more than a day without reverting to your slide out keyboard, maybe look into some other sips out there if you have something you like.

if you find you can't live without the hardware keyboard > Go for the touch pro

if you find maybe software is good enouph > Go diamond

Touchpal here : http://www.cootek.com/download.aspx

Browser is good (its opera 9.5 you can probably download it on another device and test it as well), its capatible with flash light so you can use it for flash content pages it isn't as fast or as smooth as iphone but it is REALLY close, has upto 3 tabs and the main benef is you get a full download manager so you can save whatever you want (eg. cab files from xda :D)

battery is decent, i usually get a day out of it but thats because i use it as a gameboy among other things. extended batteries are available ranging in from $7 - $80US but can take the diamond upto 3000mah

and finally with some quick tweaking you can get the screen sensetivity up (still won't be as good as iphone tho) and with TouchResponse you can enable hepatic feedback (vibrate on touch)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lazytrax:
sweet thanks a lot for the mini review. i think i will try it on my x1 and see how that goes.
[G1 General] jkiller122:

that says 2g on the end.are you sure this is a diamond cab and not a cab

to make other phones look like a diamond.

doesnt look right to me.

hard reset will return you to normal but you lose other changes you may have

made as well.
[P3470 General] pisk:
cari ragazzi sono tre giorni che smanetto con il mio pharos. dopo aver installato una rom mi si blocca alla schermata " smart mobility" ho provato a installare la rom originale - in inglese - con il boot ma, in quel caso, mi da errore "invalid vendor id".

praticamente è morto! peccato perchè non era male...

thanks
[P3470 General] poldo964:
suppongo che tu abbia usato jumpspl e poi flashato senza hardspl giusto? se è così c'è poco da fare, servirebbe una ROM ufficiale in italiano che ancora non esiste... l'unica è portarlo all'assistenza... non dovresti avere problemi perchè hai l'spl ufficiale

ciao
[P3470 General] pisk:
ok

Ciao Poldo,

volevo chiederti se è possibile, considerato il problema indicato supra, installare la ROM partendo dalla SD...ho visto che per alcuni htc è possibile...

grazie
[P3470 General] pisk:
risolto

Ciao Poldo,

ho mandata il Pharos in Assistenza HTC e, come dicevi tu, mi hanno risolto installando nuovamente la Rom originale in italioano.

Appena l'ho ritirato, ovviamente, ho installato la tua rom...

grazie e ciao!

FAQ

FAQ

Q: I uninstalled TouchFlo Detacher but TouchFlo did not come back!

A: Changes made with TFDConfig will not automatically be undone when you uninstall TouchFlo Detacher. To get TouchFlo back, go into your phone's settings. Go into Today. Go to the "items" tab. Check in "TouchFlo 3D" (or 2D or whatever). Exit. TouchFlo will be back.

Q: I uninstalled TouchFlo Detacher but my softkeys did not go back to the way they were before!

A: Changes made with TFDConfig will not automatically be undone when you uninstall TouchFlo Detacher. Do not worry! Fixing this is very simple. Before uninstalling TFD, it's recommended you run TFDConfig one more time and reassign the softkeys to whatever you want them to be. For TouchFlo's softkeys, all you have to do is set them both to empty (as in, nothing) to get the default softkeys (phone/programs). For Today's softkeys, you can assign them to whatever you want -- calendar, phone, contacts, your choice!

If you have already uninstalled TFD, you will need to use a registry editor to reset the values. Here are the relevant keys:

Today left softkey

:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112

[Default] = Text on softkey

Open = Path to program to run

Today right softkey

:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

[Default] = Text on softkey

Open = Path to program to run

TouchFlo 3D left softkey

:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila

HomeLSKText = Text on softkey

HomeLSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)

TouchFlo 3D right softkey

:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila

HomeRSKText = Text on softkey

HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)

TouchFlo 2D left softkey

:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\Home

SK1 = Text on softkey

SK1Cmd = Path to program to run (or blank for default)

TouchFlo 2D right softkey

:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\Home

SK2 = Text on softkey

SK2Cmd = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] motisu:
Hi,

Is this a Manila3D only switcher or will it also work with Manila2D? I have been using Mastsogo's until now, but the lack of support is a bit worrying.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] thx1200:
It may work with TF2D, I just have no way to test it since my device is TF3D. In the config, you can specify the location of the Manila EXE and the window class/titles. I'm assuming since MastSogo's did both, it's just a matter of tweaking those settings. As soon as somebody gets me that info, I can add it into the config app.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Uracil:
Installed on a Wizard (WM6.1 5.2.20273) running Manilla2D, set Today screen to use TodayAgenda 1.5 only. After soft reset, I get a Win32Exception with the following debugging information (see attached).

I'm checking the launch parameters in the config now (I started with the defaults).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Uracil:
Sheesh, I should have checked the parameters before going to the work of assembling that debugging jpeg. For Manila2D, the two references to Manila.exe need to be changed to Manila2D.exe. I still don't have it working, but at least it only throws one error message now. ;)

I don't have any more testing time today. Good luck with your app.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] motisu:
As Uracil said, the name of the executable for TF2D is Manila2D. That's why Manila control needs a config program. It asked which one you are using and sets the parameter accordingly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] shylohmonster:
Fantastic. Loaded this onto my AT&T Stock, fully bloated Fuze. Works like a champ! Great app, thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NLS:
I will try this for sure!

TWO THINGS!

1) anybody knows a safe way to uninstall Manila Control?

2) I am a bit affraid of this "resident" thing... this program (TFD let's call it) uses one of the very scarce 32 processes? if YES sorry it's not for me (I am already dangerously close to the limit - up to the point that some sync processes don't have where to run)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] eami:
nice app! well done ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mrvanx:
Ran through the steps to set it up, on soft reset the device hangs at the startup HTC animation, Hard reset time ;) , the manila im using has the following mods:

CFC Compression

Background 4 all tabs (mun rus)

Stocks tab

HD contacts

Will investigate further..

EDIT: Havent been able to replicate this issue after a hard reset, probably something else i installed.

Minor issue ive spotted though, set left softkey in TF3D to "Today" which hides TF3D....in the blank today screen i dont see the setting for the left softkey (Which is set to "TouchFlo 3D" and should show TF3D) i still see the softkey setting from when TF3D is visible. So the effect is i cant get back to TF3D after hiding it unless i literally run it from the start menu.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] thx1200:
WM 6.x and newer raised the process limit to 32768, so you should be fine. :-)

EDIT: I was wrong! Don't believe me! :-) Keep reading below. (The short of it: WM6 is based on CE 5.0, NOT CE 6.0, which is the version of CE that doesn't have the 32 process limit.)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] thx1200:
The exception you showed is the service not finding the EXE. There are two places you need to change it. The "EXE Only" config is just the name of the EXE (for finding it in the running process list). The "full path" is where the file is located in the file system (including the EXE name!). Did you change both?

Thanks for the info. I'm going to make that "file not found" error more friendly for beta2. Also, now that I know what I'm looking for, I can add a built-in way to switch from Manila3D to Manila2D.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] thx1200:
Does it get to the Today screen at all? The service is in the Startup folder. All it does is try to Launch manila.exe at startup (you can actually even disable that if you want to in the config), so it would be really weird if that froze the device. Not saying it's not possible, just really really weird!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mrvanx:
See my edit above ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] NLS:
No man you are wrong (100%).

In *my* WM6.1 at least, the limit is 32. Well in fact all WM6.1.

Only new WinCE (not the builds used in WM6.X) have lifted this limit.

WM7 is supposed to not have this limit (because uses different WinCE) and a very small possibility (like 5%) that WM6.5 will have this limit lifted.

With the help of Daniel Herrero (the guy that makes CommManagerPro) we even built a simple app that we run as much as we could, to test this.

Sure enough my device after 4-5 runs started killing other apps. After 1-2 more runs, I got a pop-up that said that I cannot run more apps because I reached the process limit. My device is a loaded Touch Pro.

His much lighter X1, sure enough came to the same result, but only after more runs, about 10 or something (since he had more process "slots" free).

So you probably have to (and please do) rethink your strategy (for example use a REAL service or handle things based on triggers) as processes ARE a scarce commodity in WM.

At least add a mode or something that doesn't use a process all the time (even with some extra delay). I will certainly NOT eat more of my processes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] abeery:
I installed this on my Touch HD... ran config but chaned nothing, disabled TF3d and soft reset... now don't know what to do... seem to be missing a step... for example how to toggle between Today and TF3d... running hide and close tf3d in the utilities folderdoes nothing
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] thx1200:
You are right. I was going on what I read on another website from a while back. I just did some research and, sure enough, WM6 is based on CE 5, which has the 32 process, 32MB limit still in place.

The strategy I am using will not change as there is no way (that I know of) to write a service DLL in the Compact Framework, but if somebody knows of a way, I will certainly look into it.

EDIT: I did a check and I'm only running 24 processes with my media app, Total Commander, TFD, 3 other "service" apps (dont forget, PocketShield, VistaHide Battery Bar). That leaves me with 6 more apps until WM6 gets nervous (it seems to close after going above 30). How are you so close? I'm not judging your mobile computing habits, I'm just curious! Also, I'm thinking of rolling the "service" code into stand alone EXEs for cases like yours, but it will be very slow switching back and forth. I tested that at first before deciding on the memory resident app and it took about 5 seconds to switch each time. But maybe you'll have better luck! :-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] thx1200:
It's possble the HD may have a slightly different Manila configuration than the Diamond/Pro. If you find the manila.exe and can scan the window classes and titles (such as with FDCsoft's Task manager) that will give you the info you need to configure it for the HD. If you figure it out, post it here so I can add it to the config app.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] thx1200:
GOOD! Whew!

Let me see if I am understanding you. The left soft key on the "real" Today screen says "TouchFlo" but it isn't launching TouchFlo? If you go into the configuration and set the Today left soft key using my quick drop down (Show TouchFlo 3D) this doesn't fix the issue? If so, can you post what the app path is that it is showing?
