Hi Giorgietto,

In your pocket PC you have 2 memories. System, and Storage Card.

When you back up with Sprite, it will ask you where to place your backup, or by default it will put it in the root of the storage card. Of course, if you have this option, you can only back up your System memory, and not your storage card. The backup file is a self-extracting .exe or .cab file, depending whether you compress it or not.

When you flash a new ROM, you only change the system memory, not the storage card. So everything on the storage card stays the same, and then when you run the restore using the last backup from the storage card, the System memory and registry is recreated. So now everything should be OK.

HOWEVER:

- when you flash a different ROM from the one you are using, the registry entries will be different, so running a backup from one ROM onto a new ROM version will introduce strange bugs. Best route is to rebuild your programs from scratch on the new ROM, then make a new backup. Also, for good order, make a total backup of your storage card onto your PC from time to time, preferably using a card reader.

- in order to flash a new ROM, you need to first install either a suitable hard SPL for the new ROM, or else use USPL. Otherwise the ROM install will not work. This will invalidate your guarantee, so if you need service under guarantee you will need to go through the rather difficult process of reinstalling the original soft SPL by jumping it (search Olinex's threads) if it is a hard SPL, and then reinstalling the original ROM (all ROMs are listed on the Wiki).

So the process of installing a new ROM is somewhat long-winded, and you need to be aware of the difficulties at the beginning. But if you prepare well (most programs on storage card, backups in place, etc), you can get a lot of enjoyment from testing different ROMs and applications. Beware - it is addictive.

Hi Bakovisk,

There is no tweak for this so far as I know. But there are various other better Contact programs available if you want to try them. You can search on applications forum.

Otherwise use the radiotel and cartel fields further down the page. Microsoft will no doubt eventually catch up with the rest of the world, and realise that we are more likely to have two mobiles than two home 'phones.

For some reason my Touch HD is now defaulting to Internet Sharing when I connect it to USB, is there some way to reset this option so it gives me all three (Internet / Active Sync and Disk Drive) ?

Hi,

I am on Dutty's 2.5 and radio 1.13

With regards to the Call History on the home page (I believe it would be the lastes manila).... is it possible to set a setting to show calls to and from the same person only once?

Meaning, multiple calls to the same contact to show only latest call.. I tend to make repeated calls to the same person (meaning GF).... every call generating an entry makes the history quite long and kinda of difficult when you need to search for other calls.

Used to use iesoft call history which allows us to group the calls to each contact and can view all calls individually when ungrouped...

But i kinda like the new contact list and do not wish to install another contact management system which we need to access from the apps page and not on the home screen.

is this possible??

Another quirky problem is that.....

having migrated from Nokia phones.... i am still used to using keypad for word entry for watever purpose sms, mail etc etc.... therefore is it possible to set the keypad as default....everytime i reset the phone , the phone starts with the keyboard as default. Any tweak or registry edit??

1) i have tried using advanced config and hd tweak....but does not seem to have the option for setting default entry.....

2) i have also tried in settings menu, tried changing the entry from touch to others will not work too.... after a SR will revert back to keyboard.

i did a search in the forum and read this thread but could not find a specific solution and also posted on the ROM development thread but no reponse there.....

So any gurus out there that can help.......its much appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance!!!!

Voice Commander unnecessarily starting with ordinary headset

When I plug an ordinary 3.5mm headphone (No mic) to my HD the Voice commander pops up repeatedly asking me to "Speak Now" :p Happened with two different headsets - (One is branded). Doesn't always happen though - if it happens then it's in a repeated train pretty annoying.

I thought the normal headsets are compatible with HD.. Am I missing something here ?

How to Remove programs from all programs list in new manila (Dutty's 2.7)

I'm using Dutty's 2.7 extreme rom. I tried to update my Sprite Backup, but uninstall process of previous version didn't go as planned. after that i still managed to install new version but after that i have 2 different Sprite Backup icons in my all programs tab named Sprite Backup and Sprite Backup(1). If I go to setting -> remove programs and try to remove Sprite Backup I get program remove was unsuccessful error. And uninstaller asks if I want to remove program from program list. If I answer yes the program still shows up in both WinMo and Manilla program lists.

Sprite Backup still works correctly so if I only find the way to remove it's duplicate icon from Manillas all programs list

[REQ] SKIN for Phone dialer using the new Manila V3 (Topaz based)

Hi,

Any one have or knows where I can use a skin for phone dialer using the new Manila V3?

So far all that I can find is not compatible with the new manila.

What I'm after is for the dialer pad to be black or dark blue or anything dark and any color for highlight as long as it is not green.

Hi all, I have been searching the Wiki and this thread but couldn't find anything regarding my problem.

After much reading in here I upgraded to the latest official HTC WWE Rom which went well, after that I installed Navigon 7 with the MN7 WVGA XML modification.zip I found here:D

(must say Navigon works like a dream), after that I installed NET CF 3.5, Changescreen, PPCpimbackup and Advanced config, everything went well but today I noticed my keyboard changed to the compact qwerty style (like a hardware ordinary phone-keyboard) so I went to the settingsmenu, choosed the input icon and tried to change compact qwerty to full qwerty, but somehow it is impossible to change it?

I did a softreset allready but that doesn't change anything? should I do a hard reset or is there another way?

thank you (and my sincere apologies if asking something stupid)

Hi phabreel,

Until you get comfortable with editing your registry, I suggest you try HD Tweak, which you find at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=452505&page=37. This Montecristoff application allows you to tweak many settings, including screen sensitivity and screen behaviour during 'phone calls, etc. without editing the registry settings individually.

Hi Majiso,

Unless you're a Windows Mobile s/w developer, I suggest you stick to WM 6.1.

Hi everybody

I have recently installed Inesoft Phone and I am really happ with its dialer and its caller id applets, but when I choose to dial a number or contact, etc. (and when the call is established), I see the original Windows Mobile dialer (which frankly I hate !!!), is there anyway ro replace just these screens ("dialing" and "in call") with a customized one?

I want to customize these screens only and I use Inesoft's dialer and caller id and I don't need to customize them...

Is it possible?

Question guys:

How enable SpeakerPhone through hardware key?

I thought this is something that's built-in all WM phones that by long pressing the 'CALL' hardware key turns on the speakerphone without having to touch the screen at all.

This is particular useful when you are driving.

Maybe Touch HD has made long pressing the "CALL" hardware key into a button confirguation so that this function is no longer available. Is there anyway to bring this great feature back???

Thanks guys.

Hello.. Any Help Please

Hi

Can anyone help... My Touch HD has recently started to act very strangely.

Lately when I press the volume up or down button on the home screen I get no response... the phone just goes very slow indeed making it un-usable.

Rom version is: HTC 1.56.405.1

Installed Programs are: SPD Backup, Google Maps, TSOwen Taskbar, SPD Traveler, Shazam Music ID & Ageye G-Watch.

I have read something about a new version of HTCVolumeControl.dll but cant get that to install as I'm unable to delete or rename the old version for replacement.

Any help appreciated. Thank you

Need help with call volume

Hi fellow xda-devs.

Since a couple of days I am a proud owner of a Balckstone.

But during a phone call I almost cannot hear my party - it is way too quiet.

I am not sure about the correct english term, but:

It is about a reqular GSM phone call mode, i.e. no headset, no loudspeaker, no VoIP

The volume control is in the highest position, so no way to make it louder.

Is there any tweak for that? Does it depend on radio version (mine is 1.10.25.25)? Maybe on ROM?

Many many thanks in advance
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi bss, it sounds a very strange problem. Firstly, if you keep the call button pressed, you should get speaker phone mode, with a VERY loud response from your party.

Secondly, try HD Tweak. You can find it on the Wiki, or in Montecristoff's forum. This allows you to disable the 'low volume' mode that the 'phone has when it is supplied in Europe (and also allows lots of other tweaks too).

Good luck...
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi Jackkkk,

Touch HD has this feature already, although it is context sensitive. Long press on the call button enables speakerphone mode when you are in a call.

When not in a call, it enables the voice tag application.

If your 'phone is not doing this, it has either been reconfigured, so a soft or hard reset should settle it. Or maybe the call button needs pressing harder? I checked it on mine using 1.56 WWE ROM, and it works fine. Is it maybe an onkolog lite bug?
[Touch HD General] bss12:
Well, I know that speaker phone can get VERY loud :-) But it's a bit too loud for me and the environment :-)

HD Tweak was I have tried as a first option. I turned on all items in Section 3. No effect. At least, no significant effect.

I've had a Diamond before and it was also far too quiet. Since it was defect, I switched back to my old good Touch (Elf), and it was perfectly lowd. And now the Blackstone - quiet again!

This was posted in other threads, but alas, nobody replied. Hopefully somebody here can help me.

i'm trying to dump the ROM from my Blackstone. I've got the 4 raw files, but i'm kinda confused now, since all the kitchen tutorials only mention the first two files. Seeing the sizes of the files, it makes me think - the first two files are only about 8 megs, and the other two are huge. What is taht about? Why did we make the last two files and when do we get to use them?

Also, another question, the ROM on my Blackstone comes with Sunnysoft Interwrite preinstallled - is it possible to extract it's cab from dumped rom?

Thanx!

EDIT: Whooops, possible problem here:

USB connection to PC

Hi all, I've been trying to solve a little problem:

everytime i connected my HD to the pc using the usb cable I got the menu asking if I wanted to use 'disk drive' 'sync' or 'internet sharing. This weekend I selected 'internet sharing' (and can confirm it worked well with O2 UK), now whenever I connect to the pc it doesn't give me the option to choose 'disk drive' or sync. I'm quite sure I didn't press the 'don't ask me again'.

I'm using stock rom 1.56, touchflo 3.0, touch flo3d 1.3, radio 1.13

On settings, Usb to pc, I have 'disk drive' and a tick on Ask me first about usb connection type. I've restarted it twice and it still defaults to Internet Sharing when I connect the usb lead to a pc. The screen asking if I want to connect to the internet using USB or bluetooth comes up. I changed it to Activesync but it still opens the Internet Sharing screen upon connection. I can use it as a disk drive, but can't explore My Mobile Device if I choose the Activesync.

Maybe I have to edit the registry, but I don't know which key(s) to get that promp again. I like being able to choose between sync and disk.

Since I started this post I might as well check if there's anyway of typing sms and emails on landscape mode...

Thnaks a lot to all the people who contribute to this forum, I got a lot done with my devices following the instructions from here.

Can't Use Cooked Roms

Hi,

I bought my Blackstone from Telstra so it was a t8285 instead of t8282, but i still managed to update it to stock version of WWE 1.56. I now have had a look at cooked roms and would like to give them a go. However no matter how hard i try i can't get it to work, the HD goes into the update thing then stays on 0% until the RUU says error recovery. I have used CustomRUU and BlackstoneRUUWrapper to no avail. I have tried renaming and putting it in the route of the sd and the HD says no image found in the NBH. The only thing I can think of is that I changed the SSPL to Olinex's and that might be screwing aroungd with it, however I changed back to stock and now in bootloader it says spl 1.54.0000 again. Is their any possibiltity I should Update the radio for the cooked Roms to install?

I was also wondering if I need to do anything special in order to update to WinMo 6.5, I am trying to update to Davidueck's 6.5 rom v8, by the way.

I have read every Sticky thread in the Blackstone rom's section and tried all their methods, thats how i got oli's spl, but i cant get any of them to update my HD to a cooked Rom. I have all the latest USB driver's etc from trying the the sticky methods. Any help will be much appreciated, thank you.
