Yes, it has also worked for me in the past; however, in this particular case, the program name will not disappear. The program is called Mobile Justice. It's an anti-theft program. I've tried two others, WIMP and Ultimate Theft Alert. WIMP was simply too cumbersome. UTA was quite good, but it has a problem with my Touch HD. The feature where it sends the GPS coordinates of the "stolen" phone to a "safe" phone has a bug. It only sends the latitude, and not the longitude. Strange! Hopefully it can be solved, because the program otherwise seems quite good.

Regarding Mobile Justice, it's also a great program, with one flaw. It shows up on the Remove Programs list, and you can easily find it in the registry, so any thief could easily uninstall it.

However, after using the \Windows\AppMgr approach you mentioned above, while the name remains on the list, the actual ability to remove the program is prevented. I guess it's a reasonable solution to the problem. I also went into the registry and changed the key name in HKLM\Security\AppInstall from "Zloy Mobile Justice" to a rather ambiguous looking name.
[Touch HD General] MAMeingast:
I'm not an expert on this and just guessing - but maybe it's not a coincedence that the program you're having the problem is a security related one... Maybe it diggs itself deeper into the system to work? Then it probably would require a very specific solution to get it out of the list of installed apps... :/
[Touch HD General] PeterGuru:
Under normal circumstances I'd agree with you; however, after several communications with the software developer, he tells me that I've done everything correctly. So, I'm still stumped.

Is there a brave soul out there who could develope an app that makes the back light fade in when the screen turns on, instead of just switching on, and make it fade out, first to the dim level, then off? It would be pretty neat, if there was an app like that.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rjtheskater:
It works like that automatically on the newer devices(TP, Diamond, HD)

I Don't know how HTC implemented it but it sounds possible on older devices.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] leadpoizon:
Oooh. It would be awesome if this was possible on older devices, like the HTC Vogue. I hope some dev makes this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shadowline:
There was a thread just like this that I started, and also one that I posted in, basically it is possible through software as when i use android on my Tilt, the backlight fades like you are saying. But not in windows mobile.

Though I dont know much about it I believe the newer devices do this on a hardware side of things. But in our case it should be very well possible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TheWidgetKid:
no sir... it only on the diamond...

my Touch HD does not fade... wehn i press the standby button...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] leadpoizon:
Yeah, I got the idea from Android as well. I thought it was impossible due to hardware limitations, but when it worked on Android, I have gotten very hopeful.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] leadpoizon:
Someone got it working on a certain processor, with the MotoQ smartphones.

i am getting my blackstone in about a week from telstra.

is there any GPS software that is free and doesn't need internet connection eg maps already downloaded and gps software knows where you are on maps.

i have been looking around with no luck for about 4 days and want to have everything ready when i get the device.

thanks in advance
[Touch HD General] ozmoran:
Ask around or check online with other suppliers as some ship GarminXP with the phone as they do in Thailand its a great piece of software and the maps are awesome, and to get it supplied free was worth paying so much for the HD

I would check around to see what software is included before signing up

[G1 Android Development] longwellryan:
My apolgies guys, I've searched and tried to piece together the results I've found for an answer, but piecing together the results have left me confused and a bit worried in sending back. For some reason, I've lost data connectivity. I called T-Mobile and was supprised by the fact that they are sending me a new phone(I'll take it as I've been dissapointed by the build of my G1 being one of the few people waiting in line for the first series to come out.). So, my thoughts are, I have jesusfreke's latest update with root on my phone, and I would like to revert back to T-Mobile standard build before sending my phone back. Is there any links/help someone can provide to revert back to T-Mobile build? I know I'm going to get hit with the "search forum" responses, but I can't find one that lays it out in a straight forward mannor. I appreciate any constructive help anyone can provide.

Thank you in advance..

I'd go for a HTC Raphael. Are you in the US? You can get it for a good price through amazon if you sign a new contract with At&t. As for me, my Kaiser is still running strong and holding off until the HTC Rhodium (Touch Pro 2) comes out on At&t... i have a feeling its gonna be a long wait :(

[G1 Android Development] MartinFick:
Finally I seem to have completed my conversion script which can be used to convert a palm address CSV file as output by the pilot-addresses tool (from the linux pilot-xfer suite of tools) to a sql script which can be used with sqlite3 to load the addresses into an android contacts db.

This is useful if you do not want to use the google contact service to transfer your old contacts to your new phone. Perhaps you like keeping your contacts' info private for them. :) Afterall, there's hardly a less public way to expose their personal data then to give it to google, the largest search provider, eh!!! ;)

Since there is not a perfect match between palm fields and android fields, your results may vary. The script makes a best attempt to match things logically, it even tries to combine entries with the same name (in case you have multiple addresses for a person). If you have non US addresses, you should probably edit the country list in the BEGIN{} section.

Once you have converted your palm db to sql, you may want to check the transformation visually before loading it to your phone.

HowTo:

1) Before loading your palm db onto your phone, it makes sense to make a backup of your droid contacts to your PC like this:

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db .

2) Output your palm db to a file with the linux pilot-xfer tool (note the important -a switch):

pilot-addresses -a -w add.palm

3) Convert the add.palm created above like this:

palm2droid < add.palm > droid.sql

4) Load the sql onto your phone like this:

adb push droid.sql /cache/droid.sql

5) Load the sql into your contacts db like this:

adb shell

su

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db < /cache/sroid.sql

That's it!

If you do not like your results, restore your contacts db like this:

adb push contacts.db /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases

Good luck, I hope this helps!

Is there a better site for folks like me -- was the potential for milkshakes and joe offensive?

I thought it was funny; maybe it wasn't? And, no comments on the Pulp Fiction ringtones??

Someone help me with the nuances of a programmer's onlline community -- there is talent out here galore; maybe I'm just 'lookin' for love in all the wrong places' -- figure of speech only.

In the immortal words of Jim Rome, Newbie is out!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] TweakMyDevice:
I think you should try NRG's Energy ROM. It's already customized with a slew of tweaks and additional software. In addition to that you can use Showaco's BBExtreme theme for TF3D2. It's gonna take SOME reading to learn about your device so you don't brick it...and if that's gonna be a problem then I'll tell ya like I told my dad.....just get an iPhone. They're already setup outta the box with very little understanding required :p

1) Flash HardSPL to your device. Only have to do this once.

2) Flash EnergyROM 04052009 version. Link is on 1st page of his thread. I always flash from the sd card...safer, easier, faster, more portable. Simply plug your device into computer with usb cable and select disk drive. Copy 'RAPHIMG.nbh' to the root of storage card. Make a backup of everything. Then:

Hold down the Volume Down key while u press and release the reset button. Follow directions on the screen. After the screen appears for you to tap and align the screen, Hard Reset (Hold Vol down + Center button, then press and release reset button)

3) Copy BBExtreme cab to your storage card and click it to install. Soft reset, and you're done.

I'm afraid others are just as busy as you. I have 5 week-old twins at home and I read these forums while holding a bottle in their mouths. It's highly unlikely that anyone is going to spend hours to customize your device for you, and then provide customer service for the things that don't work exactly as they should. It takes time to learn these devices, I've been at it for over 5 years and still consider myself a noob. Good luck

Don't flash any gsm rom to a cdma device (Alltel) you will brick it. you might want to try ppcgeeks for your phone http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68

Thanks man, forgot Alltel was CDMA.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] AgrahamLincoln:
modding your phone takes a fair amount of reading and research. i understand that you're busy but theres not much other than that we can tell you. i started out http://blownfuze.org/ there and read pretty much the whole page before i even started. And even with just that website i wasnt satisfied.

spend some time reading that website, get an idea of what on there you like, and start from there. install a ROM (i suggest EnergyROM) and go from there. it takes a lot of reading before you know what you're doing. and dont ever assume you know how to fix something, its safer to look it up here than to try it. liek if you dont know how to install a ROM, theres a beginners guide. dont just try stuff. thats how you brick your phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] -ebby-:
you can change the stock theme i have an altell TP and i changed the TF3D theme a couple times- do a search for touch pro themes there was a thread with a bunch of them find one you like and you can load it with a program called Diamond TF3D Config- there are a lot of good free themes but probably not one just what you described

looks like you already found some themes i think they came in a zip when i did mine, put them on your phone not in a folder just the first menu then load with the program from above, just search and you will find that program
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Farmer Ted:
Installing a theme won't brick your phone, but it's a good idea to back everything up prior to messing with manila. Try out fuzeberry or onyx or any of the themes listed here or in the Diamond themes forum. Since it's a work phone, flashing roms may not be such a great idea. Dear lord, if you do, DO NOT FLASH ENERGY ROM!!!!! As mentioned above, it will brick your phone. Go over to geeks and try out Mighty Rom or Jughead rom or whatever catches your fancy.

You might look up giannis86 here. He's got a ton of really cool icons, and he's done some custom jobs for folks. Maybe he'll work 4 food. Anyway, I laughed my ass off.

I have scanned the responses, but don't think any answered the PhotoShop Question -- can I somehow make my own slider icons (Home, Music, Message) etc using PhotoShop and then try (I'll be back for help) to get the graphics into one of them "#4875-manila" files?

Graphic size?

Resolution?

Best file format? JPG?

Do I need an up and down state, similar to a rollover on a web-nav button? (Ohhhh, the newbie knows rollover up-state -- maybe he's more than just a RingTone guy)

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Farmer Ted:
Yeah, you can make your own icons. Like I said before, look up giannis86, and in his profile look up all the threads he started. Grab one of his icon packs, and look at the files with manila editor. You'll be able to figure out the correct sizes and resolutions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Dane Austin:
http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/#icoformat

This addon for photo shop will allow you to edit/save png files.

CFC GUI (you'll have to search on here for it). Will let you get the graphics files out of the manila files and also put them back in after editing.

As far as sizes, I usually just open one of the files up check the size and then open a new file and set the canvas that size. They are all different sizes depending on what icon your editing.

i just get my htc touch diamond original in malaysia with touch3d ver 1.1.34571.0_1630.38. my diamond is new with original softwares.Previously i used symbian smart phone. But i found some trouble when i use win mobile because i do not understand it well.

i have a few question, i will be glad if seniors in this forum can help me.

my questions...

1)my touch diamond have only 80++mb for my device, remain 3.2gb is internal storage.i found problem when i install software because the message said not enough space. so can i install the software on "internal storage"? or can i do a new partition that make my device 1gb?

2)how to use .cab files?

3)if certain software that come in .rar @ .zip format, how to install in my diamond? (just extract it in paste into the diamond or have to install using active snyc?)

4) my original set come with activesnyc cd, but can only work with window xp, but my os is win vista....how to solve it?

5) i found that my diamond is damn slow, i found the forum " List of Diamond Tweaks " that can increase the performance of the diamond, but i can't found registry editor in my diamond.

6)the g sensor seem very great, but actually how to use it?(i only found it work in opera browser, how to use it in games likes need for speed undercover?)

7)the footprint add-on, i like to have it on my diamond. it is ok to work on my touch diamond?

8)the gps softwares, the pda shop give me the QuickGPS. but how about other like Papago , copilot n navitel?actually how it works?

9)i saw the new touch diamond2's ui, with is better than the one in touch diamond1. can i install the diamond2 ui into diamond1?(worried about it because the RAM n ROM in diamond 1 is smaller than diamond2, screen size also smaller)

thank you very much for reading my post.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cel15:
Ok, welcome and use the search button up ther that it will solve almost all your future doubts...for now, i'll tell you what i know.

1)YOu can install the softwares on the internal storage, but not the "System" ones, like Opera, Touchflow 3d and others. You will see, if you install it and it doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it on the device

2)Just tranfer than into the memory (any, storage or phone) and click the file on the phone.

3)Extract it on your computer, if it's a cab, do step 2. If it's a folder with an "EXE" file, double click it. If it says "not a valid win32 aplication", just transfer to the memory and execute the "exe" through the phone explorer. If it's a windows installer, connect your phone through the activesync and install it.

4) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-download.mspx

5) There is no built-in, download and install the PHM Registry editor or TaskManager or any other. This is my personal favorite: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmanager.shtml

6)The first one is my favorite:

7)Can't say, never used it.

8)On my diamond i have Igo 8 (http://www.igomyway.eu/product_4.html) and works perfect, just like a Gps-only tool. I also know that some others like Destinator and TOMTOM work really well.

9)Not yet finished, but it's being ported:

i found this but not sure should i upgrade the rom....

current version is 1.93.707.1

the official rom is better or the cooked rom is better....

i have no problem wit my diamond because it is original set n still under warranty, moreover, the pda shop also offer lifetime software support...mean that if any crash happen they can help reformat for free....

should i use cooked rom?

any recommendation for cooked rom?

which one better n more stable?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cel15:
Hard reset delets all registry entries. Need to reinstall the programs.

Well, if you do official HTC update from their site with your own S/N you'll not loose your warranty. In my opnion cooked rooms are better, but i won't tell wich one. That depends on the programs you like and how you like your diamond, is really personal and it's a "Forbiden" discussion here. It's up to you to read the posts and see if it's worth it a try.

If you have any more doubts, you can PM me for opnions, but i don't think this thread is a good place to discuss this, cause the matter already been discussed several times.
