I am new to all this but trying to learn. I have been searching the forum and trying to find a post about this subject to no avail. I may just not no what to search.

I have a samsung omnia i910 with spb mobile 3.5 and i am trying to find out if i can change all of the icons. I have seen numerous videos on u-tube of phones with totally customized themes with custom icons and i want to do the same thing but i dont know how to do it and i cant find any information as to how to do it. If there are already posts about this subject I would greatly appreciate it if someone would point me to them. Or if not, could someone email me the information....

Thanks.

Anybody know if there's a way to change the update interval for the weather tab in TF3D? I'm not even sure how often mine currently updates; I've seen it say "Last Update" as old as 3 hours. I most often see it as 2 hours, so I assume it's updating right around every 3 hours or so.

I'd like to get it to update at least every hour, if not every half hour. The weather here in Minnesota can change pretty quickly!

Does anybody know how to do this?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] newsflash40:
That's a mystery to me, too. Under menu/settings, you can check "Download weather automatically." But it doesn't say how often and I don't see where you can set or change the interval.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Any ROM with Sense/TF3D/Manila 2.5 allows specified update times for stock, weather, etc. There's a link in my signature to EnergyROM, and it has TF3D 2.5. The only downside to TF3D 2.5 is that it doesn't support landscape, and can be slightly laggy at times.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] notaliberal:
I'm using the Energy ROM, but it's the newest one which had Manila backed off to 2.1 (I think).

Is this still possible somehow without going to Manila 2.5?

Thanks,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems to me the “auto update” feature isn’t what most people think it should be. I’ve observed that if you have the auto update toggled on, it just means that every time you navigate to the weather tab

and

the weather is over 3 hrs old, your device will attempt to retrieve updated info. It doesn’t retrieve the updated info on a fixed regular interval in the background. You must navigate to the weather tab to trigger the update.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] notaliberal:
I do believe it automatically updates in the background after around 3 hours as well, because I have at times went to the weather tab and found it to be, for instance, 14 minutes old.

It's just annoying because I'm using a Today Screen that has the weather underneath the clock. so if it updates at, say, 7 in the morning and it's 31 degrees out, then I look again at 9:30am and the today screen still says 31 degrees, when its actually gotten up to, say, 42 degrees. That's what happened this morning...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Shame this is only for manila 2.5:(

Yeas, same behavior here.

Perhaps any registry edit?

Hope this can have a solution as it´s very annoying

Thanks,

Looking for a reg hack for this too .. seems odd that it does not update more often if you want it too .. i have unlimited bandwith so not a big deal to me ...

someone ? Help us ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] captron787b:
bump..

I too would like to know the answer to this, its annoying looking at it and haing o check the last time it updated:confused: Kinda defeats the purpose :mad:

I wonder i seem to not be seeing full animation on the home screen, just a short fade in. No Temperature either, any thoughts?

I am using Energy Rom with 2.1 on TILT2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Scann69:
After it auto updates, does it disconnect the data connection on it's own or do you have to manually disconnect it? I'm only worried that if the phone stays connected, it will drain my battery way to fast.

On mine the data connection stays on so i turn off auto update.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Try this instead: Download and install Advanced Config if you don't already have it (most cooked ROMs do), run it, tap the "Menu" softkey, then "More Settings" then "Connections". Then, check the "Disconnect after:" box, and set it to whatever you like (mine's set at 5 minutes). Tap "OK" at the bottom, exit Advanced Config, soft reset and the changes will take effect. In my experience, your battery life will be much better after doing this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Scann69:
Ok that makes sense :) Thanks for the tip. I don't have Advance Config tool but i'm using Tweak UI and it has that option too.

I'll see how it goes :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] notaliberal:
SOLVED!

Got it working folks! I added the reg entry from a Sense 2.5 ROM, and can confirm that I've got it auto updating weather every half hour!!

Create this DWord entry in the following key:

HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\

Dword Name:

Weather.AutoDownloadInterval

DWord Value:

30 (Decimal)

Change the value to whatever time you want in minutes. Reboot. Voila!

Enjoy!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] notaliberal:
SOLVED - Can set Sense 2.1 weather update frequency!!

Had been trying for some time to get the weather tab (and therefore the weather under the clock) to update more frequently than every 2 - 3 hours. I added the reg entry from a Sense 2.5 ROM, and can confirm that I've got it auto updating weather every half hour!!

Create this DWord entry in the following key:

HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\

Dword Name:

Weather.AutoDownloadInterval

DWord Value:

30 (Decimal)

Change the value to whatever time you want in minutes. Reboot. Voila!

Enjoy!

NOW THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKIN ABOUT!

Excellent work bro. Been looking for this for a looong time.

Checking it as we speak.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] muccamucca:
Any trick for automatic update of the weather image.

I mean for example: now is night ... I update the weather application via internet ... the image is e.g. the moon (but I also have the meteo for next 3 days)... If I don't update again, the image of the moon still remain even at midday and don't change also the day after. Is it possible to have an image that change updated with the clock? I don't want update constantly via internet for having a correct image on my today screen

SPB weather do this correctly.

Sorry for my bad english ... I hope you can understand.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
The image updates with the weather...because it displays the weather, not just day-or-night. I mean, it doesn't show just a sun or moon, it can be sun-with-clouds, moon-with-rain, etc. So that's why it doesn't change if you don't update the weather. If you set it to update once every hour or two...that's a very small hit on battery life.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] notaliberal:
Okay, this "hack" is behaving a little strangely. I absolutely know for certain that it essentially works - my weather has updated every half hour numerous times now. But, if you've got a weak signal and the weather CAN'T update at the required time, it seems to break. It has happened once now, and I looked at the weather tab and it said last updated 1 hour ago.

What I SHOULD have done then was just wait, to see when it finally tried again. But instead I hit the update button and updated it, after which it worked as it should and updated every half hour.

So, once it "breaks" by not being able to retrieve the update, I need to find out how long it waits after that, and if it DOES finally auto update again, whether or not it sticks to the half hour interval after.

I'll keep an eye on it and let you know what happens. In the meantime, I absolutely suggest adding that reg entry! No ill effects so far, even once "broke" I'm certain it will auto update again eventually. Plus, it doesn't fail to update often at all (only when my signal is at like 1 bar), so for day to day purposes this should be excellent.

And like I said, if it does fail, you just have to manually update it once and it's back up again.

GOod luck, let me know if anyone else experiences this. I just tend to go to a few places with no signal alot...

THanks,

Jeff
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bsg411:
Jeff.....thank you soooooo much for discovering this!! Im going to try this asap !! I have been wanting to autoupdate the weather at a specific time interval forever. Also, if someone could cab this or better yet add it to advance config or other config app which you could easily edit the time interval...that would be luv. Thanks again for this.

p.s. could you post which rom and radio your using..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] notaliberal:
My pleasure!

It's still a little flaky, but I think that's because the URL for the updates is being flaky. I tried a manual update 4 times before it was successful. THen I set the interval to 10 minutes, and it indeed updated appropriately every 10 mins. So again, it works, but it appears we're at the mercy of the server that's dishing out the weather info.

I'm on the Energy ROM from 11/08/2009 and I'm using the 4.49.25.05 Radio.

I would absolutely cab this up for you, but I have not learned how yet. So until someone else can, you're going to have to make the reg entry by hand.

If someone does cab this up, might I suggest making several cabs for different update times. Perhaps a 30 minute, a 60 minute, and a 15 minute for the really hardcore junkies?

Thanks, good luck, and enjoy the more frequent updates!

Aside from having to actually hit Menu -> Options -> (scroll down) Blank Screen, is there a tweak to make CorePlayer keep playing music when I just hit the power button on top of the phone to turn off the screen?

Hate keeping the screen on since it eats up so much battery. The HTC Music player (on the TF3D music tab) keeps playing with the screen off, but I can't stand the minimalistic library functions of that one.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] barneypooch:
In Coreplayer go to menu>tools>hotkeys and add a new hotkey for blank screeen. Takes five seconds. Don't know another way but this is fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
I've had some success by going into registry and changing HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended "wav1" value from "4" to "0", but I run into a problem where when I turn the screen off, after a minute or so songs stop loading from the storage card and music stops. If it hits the end of the song it won't load the next, or 2-3 minutes into a song they simply stop. Something in power management is still killing power to the storage card I think.

I've been able to stream Pandora and Groove shark without this problem.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
I don't use S2U2. I suspect its something in the power management killing the storage card read. It stops playing 2-3 minutes into a song or once the song is done it won't load the next song.

I've tried playing with a bunch of stuff in the Control\Power\State settings, but I can't find anything that I believe is power control for the storage card access.

I copied EB91C7C9-8BF6-4a2d-9AB8-69724EED97D1 (Power-manageable display) into the Backlight section, and whatever that calls does it I believe because when the screen turned full off (Not just backlight dim) the problem showed up again 2-3 minutes into a song from storage card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] notaliberal:
Awesome! A combination of your registry fix from above, and the registry fix to disable SD card power management have solved it! I just played three songs, totaling roughly 10 minutes, with the screen off using CorePlayer!! That is EXACTLY what I hoped to accomplish here.

So, try this registry edit. To disable storage card power management, look here:

HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SDMemory_Class

Set DisablePowerManagement to a "1" (no quotes obviously)

If you dont have that DWord value in there already, go ahead and create a new DWord named exactly like above, and set its value to a "1"

Save it, soft reset, and you should be good to go!

Thanks a million for pointing out your reg fix - that's essentially what did it! I already had the DisablePowerManagement set because I read it helps save battery life.

Good job!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
DisablePowerManagement was already set to 1, I toggled it back and forth and still no dice for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] notaliberal:
Really? Odd.

Check to see if the other three classes are set to 1's as well - MMC_Class, NAND_Class, and SIM_Class. All of mine are set to a 1. Then make sure to soft-reset the phone.

Just to be clear on how I used CorePlayer; I started it up, opened a playlist, started playing the music. Then I hit the home key to go back to Today Screen, and then I turned off the screen with the power button on top of the phone. Like i said, I played it for a good 10 minutes, and it never even stuttered. It had no problems going from one song to the next either.

Let us know if you get it to work.

Thanks again,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
Yeah, they are all set to 1. None of my music players will continue playing a song from the storage card for long or move onto the next song if it finishes one. Wish I could figure out whats turning off the storage card. Are you using Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5? I'm on 6.5.

I'm running the sound out through the external speaker, and its not just turning off the speaker, its stopping playback. I think its hitting the end of the buffer because some songs get about as far as 70%. I'll keep digging.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] notaliberal:
I'm using 6.5 on the latest Energy ROM.

Here's a thought. In CorePlayer, under Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Buffering, I do NOT have "Microdrive mode" checked. Perhaps see what yours is set to and if checked, uncheck it.

Then at the top of that page, my values (from top down) are: 512KB, 70.0%, and 64KB.

Wouldn't hurt to make sure yours are the same and see if you get better results.

Keep us posted, and good luck,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
What MicroSD card are you using? I'm using an A-Data 16GB Class 6. If you're using a Class 2 I suspect it might be the difference in cards since someone mentioned somewhere else that they were seeing different results in power management between a class 6 and a class 2 SDHC card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] notaliberal:
Hmm, interesting thought. I'm not even sure what class mine is, but if I had to guess from what it says on the card itself I'd guess Class 4?

It's a Kingston 8GB. Below where it says Kingston 8GB it says SDC4/8GB 07

Me thinks you're probably on the right track here. Who'd have thought having an older, lower class card would be a good thing? Geez...

Well, good luck,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
Testing some more. I put 3 songs into device memory. They play fine after I hit the power button and turn the screen off. Also, on AC power, Coreplayer continues to play from the Storage card no problem. So its some sort of Power management issue. I'd hate to throw down money on a slower card and find it doesn't work as well. Maybe there is another toggle in the registry somewhere I am missing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] notaliberal:
in my SDMemory_Class registry, there's a folder called High_Capacity. perhaps try copying thr DisablePowerManagement entry into that folder as well, since you have an SDHC card. then reboot and see what you get...

keep us posted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
I tried that. No go. Scouring the registry.

I would think there is a tweak somewhere to apply full power to the SD card even when in the different modes (ScreenOff, Suspended, Unattended, etc).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Masterface7:
I am looking for this same fix. I have an 8 gb class 4 sandisk and will let you guys not how the reg edits go for me.

When i first got my (sprint) tp2 before i unlocked it or before i flashed any roms, pushing the power button would turn off the screen and allow the music to keep playing for any program i tested (groovefish, coreplayer, wmp, pandora, gsplayer) It is too bad that no rom since then has had the same functionality and the "stock" rom dl that I found over at ppcgeeks also didnt work. So if anybody has a completely untouched tp2 and they want to test the power button behavior that would be great. Then maybe we could compare the registries
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
No luck with the registry. I've found more info in another thread. I'm going to assume its the MicroSD card at this point. It's performed well in every other respect but this one.

Guess I'll look at getting a Kingston or Sandisk 16GB Class 2 or 4.

I'll try to remember to update once I get a new MicroSD card.

**Edit

I'm currently looking at getting a Sandisk Mobile Ultra 16GB Class 4 in a week and a half when I get paid. They are pricey but look like one of the best Class 4 16GB cards out there. Anyone know of any problems with them?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Masterface7:
So the edits worked great with my 8 gig sandisk class 4. I bought it in malaysia over a year ago so it is pretty old and cheap. Internet players continue to play after pushing the power button to turn off the screen and playing stuff off my sd card works as well. I let it run for about 25 min with the screen off playing items in coreplayer from the sd card.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Masterface7:
that is too bad things like this need to be made aware to the public so that no on buys from that company until they decide to make a more quality product. Most people (me included until i read this thread) think that size and speed are the only 2 contributing factors on portable memory like that, I would have never thought to ask "Hm, i wonder if this card can resume power after the phone is put into a sleep, or sleep like state?"

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
With my A-Data card, its not so much that it isn't resuming on wake up. It is. Its just not accepting the OS hooks to stay awake when I turn the screen off. Its probably got more to do with a cheaper and less developed chipset on the MicroSD card but that is just a guess. There seems to be less problems with Class 2 and 4 cards in general.

What button do you suggest assigning for this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] anit77:
I have an Adata 16gb cl6 card. I modified the wav1 key, the power key was already set. After soft resetting everything is working great, went back to the home screen hit the power button and it played 4 songs with the screen off.

rowedave76, I'm wondering if maybe you got an early release of the card or it may be defective. It's got a lifetime warranty right? Also have you tried different ROM's to see if that might be the cause?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rowedave76:
I'm still using the stock ROM on the Tilt2. I haven't been too interested in changing it yet and I'm figuring that changing the ROM won't do much. I should get a lower cap microsd card and check before buying a new 16gb card. At this point I can live with this, honestly I'm not walking around using it as a music player much lately.

I did notice when plugged in to my car, powered thru an adapter that the songs do stop after a minute or so when I power down the screen. But when I'm hooked up to a computer through USB and activesyc then power the screen off, they don't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] anit77:
I'm using aruppenthal's RRE™ T²-Series 1 build 28004.5.3.0 v1.3 on my Tilt2. Before you buy another card I'd see if you have this issue with another rom. If/when you decide to try something other than stock I highly recommended this rom for a Tilt2.
