You can edit the InternetPortal-en-us.xml file under \Application Data\Manila to change it. Connect your phone to your computer thru Active Sync, navigate to that folder, move to desktop, uncheck Read-Only attribute, change, save, reapply Read-Only attribute, replace file on phone.

Here is the part that will change the page:

NavigateUrl="http://web2go.com"

UrlText="web2go"

Thanks for the quick response. I can't seem to find the file which is in the Manila folder. Thanks again xnifex!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
uh, if it's not there, i really can't help. it shoudl be there though. If its not on yours, i can post mine on here & then you can edit it however you want & then put it on yours. let me know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cutejules:
That would be much appreciated xnifex thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xnifex:
here is the Tmo default file

make sure to take off the Read-Only attribute so you can edit it in notepad, then reapply the attribute & put it in \Application Data\Manila

you can also edit the 4 bookmarks while you're at it. if you change the youtube one, make sure to copy the code for the icon from one of the other 3 bookmarks so it won't show a youtube icon

Hey there,

Iam a newbie here an I want to know which ROM is the best or most stable at the moment?

Also it is not clear for me if I can jump back to the original ROM when I have uploaded e.g. LEO R1 ?

Is it maybe a better way to set up my own rom? So just upload features I need to the original etc.. ?

thanks alot

Yeah it is possible to switch back to the original stock ROM if u want. and btw, nobody can decide the best ROM for u. It completelt depends on what u want. My suggestion would be to try more than one ROM and see for yourself.

thanks for your answers!

i just need the normal stuff working very well.. i do not need special things... a good album, nice soundgallery, btw. i like the original weather app and the normal functions should work and look nicer than in the normal rom...

so I think I will test the leoR1 ROM..

for my other plan: are there any good sites to search for appz? or lists with good appz for the hd?

maybe you know a different rom for me to test?

we're all willing to offer opinions/feedback on ROMs, however, you should also be willing to read the threads to determine which ROM will work for you. that's what the ROM threads are for - we've answered many of your questions in advance. :) do yourself and others in the community a favor: read, learn, pick a ROM, test it and contribute by providing constructive feedback. threads like yours are opened daily only to be closed by the moderators (i can see FallenSpartan making his way here now, lol). best wishes to you as well! ;)

Before this thread is closed, which it should be, I suggest if you want to try a ROM newer than the last official HD ones but not cutting edge (aka buggy) try kwbr's Vanilla ROM. It's a port of Topaz to the HD.

You've asked an opinionated question which is generally frowned against as everyone has different opinions, as well as loyalties to certain chef's. Plenty of people before you have already asked these questions and each time they get same result.........closure of thread.

Best advice would be to read first 4-5 posts of each rom thread, try a few roms and make your own conclusion. Plenty of people have already offered advice. Now its your turn to research and try.

[G1 General] PorchG1:
First some backgound.

In preparation for a big event where I will be using my phone for web surfing a lot, I pick up the huge brick2600mah battery. It works well and last all day. I forgot my charger and had to charge the phone over USB and that only seems to charge the battery to 75%. But that is a different issue.

So when I get home, I put back in the stock battery so the phone will no longer be a brick in my picket any more. (The 2600mah battery will be used for events where I need the power)

But the stock battery is not lasting very long at all any more. The capacity seems to be down 50%. I left it in my truck once and came back to find it almost dead. It went from fully charged with the car charger to dead in 2 hours.

A week or so later, in the same spot, I knew I was going to be out of ear shot, so I left my fully charged phone, in airplane mode to save the battery. 4 hours later and it's dead like a door nail.

I have since done the same and the battery is low after 6 hours, but not dead. Something strange is going on. I have ran the phone till dead 3 times and fully charged it and that seemed to help, but it's still not happy. It also takes 8+ hours to charge.

A few hours ago, I managed to hard lock the phone, so I pop out the battery. The battery swollen. Not Sony like, but like something inside is really pressing hard against the case and wants to get out. Note I am talking about the stock HTC battery, not the brick.

My stock battery problems may be unrelated to the use of the 2600 brick battery, but I figure it's worth bringing up.

Anyone else seen this? Can I bug T-Mobile about getting a new battery?

Any suggestions next to bury it in a hole before it explodes and kills us all?
[G1 General] billc.cn:
If the stock as really swollen, you'd better contact Tmo and get a replacement. I think it might got over heated when you left it in the truck. Did you put it on the dashboard? Was that a hot sunny day? Any temperature above 60 degrees Celsius can cause permanent damage to lithium-ion batteries. Crystals growing on one of the electrodes (can't remember which) can penetrate the insulation and touch the other side, causing a internal short. This will heat the liquids inside the battery and when the pressure rise beyond control...
[G1 General] Neuuubeh:
You need a new battery, batteries can swell like that either from heat or too high current drained. Might be a defect in the battery from the start as well tho (short-circuit waiting to happen or something, who knows?)
[G1 General] jashsu:
Any lithium battery that experiences swelling should immediately be viewed as a potential hazard. At this point you cannot drop it off in a battery recycling drop-off point (and perish the thought of just tossing it in the trash). I recommend you take it to a T-Mo store and demand an exchange for a new battery. You'll also be relieved of the responsibility to deal with disposing of it properly.
[G1 General] PorchG1:
Nice game of connecting the dots. I normally put my phone in the shade when left in my truck for several hours. But I miscalculated the position of the sun and when I checked back in a few hours, it was not in direct sunlight and hot. Not too hot to handle, but toasty. Only happened once, but I guess that sure could be the cause.

The battery is not hot now or bursting out of it's case, and I have been using it for 2 months so I don't think it will be an issue recycling it. Is a T-Mobile store just going to hand over a new battery to me?

Bonus, I now know why the battery in my GPS only lasted 2 months.
[G1 General] uansari1:
Even if it's not in direct sunlight, the temp inside of a car on a sunny day can easily go over 200 degrees F... in many cases going up to 300 degrees.
[G1 General] Gary13579:
As said 100% correctly by jashsu, your battery is basically hazardous. Keep it away from anything you want to stay alive (you, your property, your G1...) until you can get it to T-Mobile.

XDA does not condone this, but your best bet to get a new battery is to lie. If you tell them you left it in the sun, they're most likely not going to replace it. Play dumb and tell them nothing odd happened and you have no idea why it did it.

If you bought it from em and are still in contract with them, I'd be pretty shocked if they didn't replace it on the spot (even if you don't have warranty). Until then, do NOT use the battery, and be thankful that it didn't destroy your G1.

[G1 General] PorchG1:
I have been still using the phone. Bloated battery and on. It has not tried to kill me as of yet.

Today I went down to the t-mobile store and told the guy at the counter that my phone was only holding a charge for 5 hours at most. He suggested a battery swap and if that does not fix it, a phone swap. I handed him my puffed out battery, and he handed me a new, slimmer one. He never asked for my phone, my number, or nothing else. Once again I am reminded why I go with the only carrier that does not offer 3G service in my area. T-Mobile service rocks.

This is more a plea for smucks like me who can't program, but would love to see emulators developed for MAME, SNES, and other game console formats that will work with WM6/WM6.5 and without a D pad or physical keyboard. I'm not sure if all the current emulators will work on a VGA or WVGA screen and I'm not sure if all of them map appropriately to keyboards. My old 8125 has finally broken in a place that forces me to purchase a new phone (mini USB port broke off) and while I have a stop gap measure to hold me over, I am looking at new phones (looks like AT&T will force me to get a data plan anyway...http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/08/21/att-to-require-smartphone-data-plans-starting-september-6th/). One of the things I will miss is a usable D pad that made navigation easy and worked well for my music player as well as my games.

I noticed that much of the emulators haven't been updated for WM for a couple of years. Here's hoping that programmers with a heart for nostalgia might hear this plea for some old games.

does anyone no how to get the slider sound on my touch pro2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] xdadJeroen:
i think i do... :

on the homescreen.. go to the setting tab.. don't use that tab cuz it's **** but tap 'more' in lower left corner.. then you get all settings.. and then you must tap 'Personal'(it think.. in dutch it's called 'Persoonlijk') and there you have an icon about the slidersound where you can select one..

is this what you meant?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mos_definitely:
how do we get custom slider sounds?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] slight22:
my quick guess. Find the location those particular sound files are held, put the correct file type into that directory.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] crazythunder:
this is what i did on a stock tmo rom. create the sound files you want in .wav format. create one for in and one for out. rename them to whatever.xwav. open up a mobile reg editor on your pc. navigate to hkey_local_machine\software\htc\sliding sound. create a new reg key. under value data,name it whatever you want,preferably the name of your sound file , do not put the file extension. just name it like kbin1 or kbout1. now create a new string value for that key. under value data, you must name your sound file the same as your key. example,if i named the new regkey 4, in the new string, the value data would be 4_in.xwav. and the value name would be in. create a new string for the out sound and repeat the process.

i do believe the sliding sounds from the raphael work also. they have a couple of cabs over there. use the search:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Lyian:
o.O Why does it take so much freaking work to do simple changes? You would think adding custom slide sounds would be as simple as ploping the new sounds in a directory and selecting it!

Anyone have any luck with this?

I am using the "transforming" sound from Transformers. I have it where I can at least hear it under the Keyboard Slide Sound settings if I select it and Preview it. But when actually opening/closing my keyboard, I dont hear the sound. Just a default quick beep sound.

* Nevermind. Needed to restart the phone. Now it works!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jola66:
While it was nice to get it to work, now I get a cprog.exe error anytime I open or close the keyboard with my custom sound activated. Damn it. Why cant things just work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] FrancisB1:
Hi,

To my opinion (that's what I did), I have placed all my sounds on my storage card (mp3 files) then transformed them in .wav (in the Windows folder) and re-transformed them in .wma files (placed in the Windows/Rings folder).

This way all the sounds I have are available whichever soft or event I nedd them for...

Hope it will help you.:)

what is the advantage ore disadvantage of android on windows mobile
[General Questions and Answers] kareeem:
Moved to Q&A section.
[General Questions and Answers] thenewshaft:
I have recently moved from windows mobile to android & the difference is huge. The main reason I was with windows mobile for 4 handsets was all down to customisation, whatever i wanted to do I could pretty much do, for example if I wanted a sound level meter I could get one somebody had made & run it from my phone pretty easily.

But I always found it hard to recommend windows mobile to my friends because it is buggy & if you want to do cool things like change the look/feel of the phone or just add an app then you really need to have a good grasp of what your doing. Its not straight forward or easy plus you can't use your finger to do everything.

Now that I'm on android, specificity the Hero, things are alot more easier. I can still customise almost everything on it & the apps are so much easier to get to. Plus because it has a different kind of screen (captive is what they call it I think) it actually works properly with my fingers.

Not to mention the speed of the thing. Spec for Spec the Hero is really similar to the Diamond but the difference in usability is huge.

I can't say that I'll never go back to windows mobile but wm6.5/7 really needs to pull something special out of the bag to tempt me back

adb shell reboot

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] One Hype:
Thanks for the positive comments left by the few of you that did. I am in no way biased toward the Iphone, nor WM, I just appreciate a fine device, regardless of its make. For those of you that have criticized the Iphone, I ask you this, "Have you even tried the new 3GS out yourself, or are you just basing your opinion on responses from other people?" Before the 3GS, I never would have considered the Iphone, since it's features really weren't that great. The 3GS has some amazing features, that truly swayed me. There are just some things that truly make the Iphone better. I was sick of not being able to do what friends of mine were able to do with there older Iphones, like Facebook chat, as well as get some of the amazing apps available from the app store. The 3MP camera with autofocus is truly amazing! Also the amount of storage space on the phone is truly great. For me, I own a MacBook Pro, so switching to the Iphone made compatibility between the two much easier. Not here to criticize devices, just here to clear up some misconceptions about them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] One Hype:
Good luck. The 3G is pretty good, but for me, the 3GS was the only model that was actually an upgrade for me from the Tilt. I love taking pictures and videos, so getting a basic 3G would have been a downgrade due to a lower MP camera, and no video recording. Not to mention that the 3G can't do tethering, unless it is jail broken I believe. Plus the 3GS is twice as fast!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
If you really think that this thing is going to take decent pictures and video for you, you are going to be sadly disappointed. I went to a wedding yesterday with my 3Gs 16GB Black, the camera is great outdoors with natural light in ideal settings, but so is my " dollar store " keychain digital camera. Inside in appropriate wedding lighting, it was useless.

Aside from that , what do you have A.D.D. ? Chumley Ex and I both have Tilts and 3Gs' , we haven't said goodbye. It's like being married and having a girlfriend on the side , can't you do both ? :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] greenbep:
I am a loyal Tilt-er (for the past two years), and I just tried out a 3GS this weekend to see what all the fuss was about.

It is a beautiful machine, but there are several things that I still find inferior to the Tilt:

1. Soft keyboard makes typing long messages difficult.

2. Can't sync POP properly. I can delete messages off the server from my phone, but when I delete messages off the server and I've already downloaded them to my phone, they stay on my phone. Tilt handles that and keeps all POP inboxes synced to the server.

3. Switching between email accounts is incredibly tedious and time-consuming, having to back out of one and then go into another, especially if you have many folders.

4. Still no GPS app with text-to-speech for street names.

5. Horrendous battery life.

Did I miss anything? Am I wrong about any of these? I do like the iPhone, but it doesn't feel like I'll be productive enough. Thoughts? Thanks.
