[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] HTC Touch Freak:
I was messing with the registry and could not figure this out. I got as far as finding where the settings program launcher is....

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher

Here we can add programs to the launcher and I beleive if I can add the .exe to WM All Settings page it would be great. I can't find such a file though. This is where I need help unless I'm completely wrong here. This would allow to add an All settings Tab to be added in the Launcher.

Or

If you go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3 Changing things there should work. Would ony changing the path work? I just need to know where the .exe for the Settings page is.

It just frustrates me that I have to go to the Settings tab then All settings.

Thanks for any and all help. I am trying to learn here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Edit: This maybe more difficult than I think. But I did figure out how to unloch the locked items and also to move them so they are at the bottom.

To Unlock go to

- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher

-Select one of the keys numbered 0-23 (a number for each of the slots. The locked items are numbers 0-3 and are ordered on the list going left to right/top to bottom)

- Just change the DWord value from 1 to 0 and you can now remove these if you wish.

- You can do the reverse to lock any other program in place. Click on it an set the value from 0 to 1.

--Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.

To Move the items go to

- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher

-The locked items are numered 0-3

-Say if you want to move settings to the bottom left you would select key '3'.

-Rename it from 3 to anything you wish for instance 'n' (or any number starting from 24) make it short because you will change it again.

-Now go to key '23' and rename that to '3'

-Go back to 'n' or whatever you named the old 3 and rename it to '23'

-Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Pete_S:
There is a way to directly link to specific Settings items, see http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/windows-mobile-faq/12666-applet-shortcuts.html Just save the text string after the "=" as a plain text file with extension ".lnk" and put it in the "/windows/start menu/programs" folder, as I'm sure you know.

I've used some of these and they can save a lot of stylus work. I don't see a way to link to the general Settings page itself though.

Thanks for the tip - works perfectly. Only problem now is assigning an icon other than the ugly white page with Windows square on it. I have tried the trick described here in the Wiki, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Pete_S:
Provided you have your shortcut in one of the initial 23 positions of the Program Launcher, you could try setting the icon path from the registry, in the location as described by HTC Touch Freak in the first post

There's also an "IconPath" parameter under the 0-23 keys which you might have more success with.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] fisha21:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried that after posting the above. Managed to find out the icon is no 398 in shellres.192.dll, and inserted that into the IconPath line. Now, when I click on the shortcut, I get a message saying

"The file 'ctlpnl cplmain' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found."
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Pete_S:
I wonder if it's possible to make up your own icon, as you can in desktop windows - a bitmap of the appropriate size with ".ico" extension?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] RiZK:
Thanks for the link Fisha21. I made a link for remove programs, put it in the programs list and also saw there was no icon. Well i thought, maybe i can easily approach the link differently.

I downloaded Link Creator 1.4 - Shortcut Creator (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=494613) and just assigned the link to the right softkey.

For those who don't like that, there are many different options that it can be linked to (keymappings etc.)

Hope that helps a few peeps

I have dug up my old charmer wanting to use it to learn to cook rom. However, before I was able to do anything, I flashed it to WM6.1 and then put it on the charger.

Since it is not my main device, I left it plugged in for 3 days. Now the LED light has gone off (even when I plugged it in using a few different USB charger!). The Charmer won't power up with just the battery or plugged in. Has anyone seen this problem? It is using the orignal battery and was working fine for a long while.

ROM: Probably not related to this at all but here go -> ChrBeck WM6.1.

Did I blew the charging circuit for leaving it plugged in too long?
[MDA Compact II General] ChrBeck:
Do you have a different battery to try? Otherwise: Use a 3V or 5V charger and connect it to the pins of the phone. The layout is here I'll search it for you and post it then soon.
[MDA Compact II General] panda986:
Sorry have been on holidy for a few days.

Unfortunately I don't have another battery to test...

But I will give your other suggestion a go tomorrow after work. Will keep you posted. Thanks man!

EDITED: This is gonna sound a bit strange, I got another USB charger from my friend (It was the Wizard's) and it managed to bring my Charmer back to life as soon as I plugged it in (had left the device for a few days since first post). Then reverted back to my own charger and seems ok so far... So What on earth happened last week when it won't charge nor power up? May be the battery completely discharged?

I hate to make this post, but was a solution ever found for the unexplained volume drop to zero issue? I have followed the threads regarding this problem, searched, wiki'd and just about everything else but still no luck finding a resolution.

Regardless of ROM or regedit it appears this problem just doesn't die. Absent a cure for the problem, it's going back to 6.0 over the weekend.

Thanks for any insight.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CokaChoka:
Well, I guess this means there is no solution.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] VitezKoja:
Well, I'm new to Kaiser and it's problems, but this one is quite annoying. This is what I came to after many days of messing with it...

I'm using shifu rom, it works great. SPB shell is also installed on my Kaiser and S2U also, but the problem with sudden ring volume drop remained. It disappeared when I turned off ID call through the S2U, and now using just windows regular. S2U slider remained, just ID call function in it disabled. Now I'm trying to reproduce the bug, but fortunately no luck in that. So if you use it, just go to S2U2 settings/general/ID off. Worked for me, but I'll keep you posted if something goes wrong.

Cheers!

Hi Guys,

I really want to show off the screen quality of my TD2 to all my mates especially those ith iphones, ive the core media player which i must say is very good, whats is the highest quality video i could play on the phone?

I download the film Role Models which was a DVDrip axxo, but there was a lot of jurking.

Also whats the best video converter, im using "any video converter" at the moment but unsure which is the;-

1. best film format

2. best videso bit rate

3. best frame rate

our phones can handle

Thanks for any help anyone can input.....cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1CEP:
come on people, no one knw the answer to these questions?! :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
My experience is you can't expect to play most DVD rips from the web, the combination of the full D1 (DVD) resolution and the usual bitrates is just too much for the Diamond2. You would need a dedicated media player like an Archos for that.

You can play DVD resolution rips if the maximum bitrate is much reduced (to 700 - 1000kbps) or you can play higher bitrate movies if the resolution is reduced to less than DVD. Either way you'll have to transcode the movie which is a pain.

From what I read in a Touch HD review, Divx encoded (avi) movies were the most successful.

There is one way to play downloaded DVD rips on the D2. You have to go to Coreplayers settings and reduce "video quality" from "high" to "medium". Then it plays without jerkiness, but the picture quality is s**t. Not good if you're trying to show it off to your mates.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1CEP:
Thanks for the response Peter, appreciate it! Ive just download a few more movies, Iron Man and Madagascar, both run amazingly. suffice to say mates were impressed :-) and my archos 404 is heading towards the bin:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
I'm glad your credibility (and that of the brilliant D2) was salvaged! Current Archos players belong in the bin

You can also use Vuze. I use it to download the music videos torrents, and it transcodes automatically every file downloaded, so, no hassle. Just set it up the way you like your vidz converted, then off you go, mate.

Of course, for the record, dowloading movies is illegal if you don't own the DVD, and if you do, then you don't have to download that movie again, and blah blah blah.

Please refrain giving titles here, or the MPAA will come get your ass.

cheers!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1CEP:
Thanks for the awesome feedback guys.....

been reading through and it seems like these would be the best settings using Super Video Converter and playing in Core media player

Settings below:

1. swf or flv (Flash) container

2. Flash Video codec

3. mp3 Audio codec

4. DirectShow off

5. 580x348 widescreen 1.6 ratio resolution

6. framerate according to source video for keeping sync

7. 2544 kbps video bitrate

8. High Quality Checked

9. 44100 Freq audio

10. Stereo audio

11. 112 kbps Audio bitrate

But note as these are the best settings for the HD, would point 5. the video scale size 580x348 be ok for the TD2 as we have asmaller screen but same resolution?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KraFT_mk:
The first thing that I did when I got my d2 was the test the video improvements.

So,

1. Go and dl those HD videos encoded by me from here....(50MB) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=43OGWM5R

or the same from here -> http://uploading.com/files/1R5GNAQK/kraft_d2_mp4.zip.html

2. Don't use Core player to play them because CP has no drivers for Hardware video acceleration for HTC D2. Its not their fault, they just don't have the drivers becouse HTC is not giving them.... The only player that uses hardware acceleration is the default Windows Media Player or HTC Album (video player).... WM don't have support for all the popular codecs so u need this #3.

3. HTC Touch HD Video Converter to convert to mp4. This is free (or donate) but slow encoder.

You can find lots of HD videos here, at Windows Mobile Video HD Content Showcase.

Or here....

Any way, those are the best "TO MP4" encoder setings...

Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 800x480 (with aspect ratio) 25.00fps

Audio: AAC 44100Hz stereo 1411Kbps [Audio]

- If your source videos are SD (DVD, PAL etc), use the default 600 Kit/s or cubit/s.

- If your source videos are HD (1080p/720p), use 750kbit/s.[/I]

My D2 is playing most downloaded movies smoothly, using coreplayer.

In extreme scenes there can be a minimal amount of jerkiness.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KraFT_mk:
Most of the standard and low quality movies will run smoothly with Core player..

Download, try and compare the example HQ videos from the first line from the post above....

Unfortunatly, Core player has no hardware video acceleration drivers (long and ver old HTC story) so you cant even compare it with WM player for HQ video playback....

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flexikon:
Haha I've opened a topic just today describing the video formats and all that.

Too bad I didn't come by this post first though....

I'm using formatfactory right now for my conversion, since you can actualy convert ANYTHING to EVERYTHING with it....but i'll try the stuff above, since I have to set my quality really low (though there's no loss of filmquality whatsoever, it does lag, like 18 to 20 frames a sec.)

if this works better and easier, props to you man,

if it doesn't, you'll be hearing from me.....! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flexikon:
Allright, you got me convinced. one of the most important imrpovements is the framerate. though my setup shows just a very smaal decrease of framarate, i like my movies totaly smooth. mine play 20 or 21 frames right now, while this is just that bit nicer :).

Quality though, is a bit worse.....but i'm talking maybe 1% loss of quality,actualy only noticable when played on a desktop computer, but still....plus the files are much bigger....but it's not a problem for me, I have 8 gig SD card and tons of space left.

thx for this wonderfull thing! I'm encoding some of my favourites (la haine, kill bill 1 and 2) directly :)

thx again!

-EDIT-

Did manage to find another downside on ecnoding with this tool. The options for it are by far not as great as formatfactory or Super!......that's a shame, since I usualy use direct converting from DVD, which is not supported by this converter. i'm trying my luck using your settings in my converter :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creiz:
Guys. For the drivers, it's not HTC fault. It's QUALCOMM's fault. somebody should really sue their ass, dammit, it's becoming unfair competition.

[G1 General] veda_sticks:
After many months of searching to find out why my mobile broadband connection was so slow alot of the time yet downlaods were fine.i finaly found out that hdspa/gprs name servers can be terribly slow. So i changed them to opendns and now its all fast.

So, im wondering if its possible to do the same with the G1. I know you can do it with windows mobile.

This could improve the G1's possibly, as i have noticed that sometimes web page response slows down alot, just like my mobile broadband. Both are tmobile. G1 on tmobole, and usb modem on tmoble
[G1 General] billc.cn:
you can try "setprop net.dns1 [ip]" in the terminal. this will work as long as the network state stays the same. if the phone did a dhcp, those settings will be overwritten.
[G1 General] ldp_punkt:
you can change the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

[G1 General] jashsu:
The problem of dns changing notwithstanding, I would not recommend using opendns in conjunction with 3G or any other system where multiple users share one public gateway. The reason is dns poisoning.

Opendns provides a service where you can manually set dns resolves for your ips accessing opendns. Meaning I could say, change www.yahoo.com to redirect to www.google.com for all users in my home network. The problem is that i've seen malicious users registering themselves as the administrators of the ips of some T-mo gateways. This would in effect give them control of dns for G1 users using opendns as their resolver.

Opera Mini uses Opera's servers then delivers the page to you. Its not a direct access to the Internet. Pocket IE directly accesses the Internet -- that's why when you click on a link it uses Internet Explorer instead of Opera Mini.
