Hi,

Very confused about what happened during a ROM upgrade..

I went from 1.43 to 1.48, immediately following which I did a hard reset (perhaps not strictly necessary however commonly believed to be best practise when flashing ROMs).

HD2 started up, did it's initialization customisations, asked for my provider etc. I then went through and configured my connection with my Exchange Server and all my data sync'd up - all normal so far.

So now I had a fresh install, just with my Exchange data on (contacts / calendar / email etc). Definitely a clean install (just to emphasis the point!) as obviously my app shortcuts weren't there from the home screen, my weather cities of choice weren't there but instead the default, etc etc etc. All as expected.

BUT..

I flicked to the People (contacts) section of Sense (the second tab by default) and to my surprise there were the six faces of the people I had configured previously!! They were in the wrong order (no logic to the new order) but yup they were there!! VERY STRANGE!!

The only thing I can think of is either a) such configuration is stored on the storage card (which obviously isn't wiped during ROM upgrade) or b) it is somehow stored and sync'd back in the individual Outlook contact records themselves (unlikely I'm thinking..).

Any comments??! Even if just to confirm? Or am I going completely mad!! :)
[HD2 General] bigsro:
Same here - very random - my photos and music have been juggled around too...
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
It is this^

When you add in a contact to favourites in sense and sync back to exchange, you will notice that your contact has been added to a category called "HTC Favourite".

Check Outlook on a PC to see the categories your contacts are assigned to.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Thanks for the quick reply and confirmation - good to know I'm not going mad!

So can someone explain how this is done? ie. kept on storage card / sync'd back to Exchange / AN Other?

I'm particularly concerned if it is sync'd back to Exchange, as until now I often try quite a few Windows Mobile devices and enter in my Exchange details etc on the assumption that nothing that particular device does is actually kept once I wipe the phone.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Wow - another amazing quick response!! :D

Excellent - thanks for the info - well spotted! Now despite my above comment I can live with this more than happily, actually see it as a useful feature! :)

Thanks again.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Moving People around?

Following on from the above (loosely!)..

Is there an easy way to move the ordering of these shortcuts around?

Being the picky individual that I am (!) I have them in a certain order, which effectively means that even though the right people are 'remembered' I still have to delete and create them all again to put them in the right order.

Thanks again..
[HD2 General] Kridek:
Your photo and Music are located on your SD card. SD card is not impacted by either HARD RESET or Memory Flashing.

You favorties contacts are part of a group... And this informations is stored in the contact information on your Exchange server (like if you've put them in a group named "Restaurants" "Best Friends", etc. But it's not storing their positions; If you flash hard reset multiple times, it will always put them in the same position. (Sync order? Older first? By phone number? no idea right now)

For the other informations (shortcuts) it's not saved either on your SD card, MyPhone account nor Exchange server... no way to get them back automatically..
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Good summary - spot on! :)

It seems with this little integration of Outlook groups, and the use of MyPhone, re-flashing roms or hard resets are getting slightly more "user friendly". I realise there a 3rd party apps to do this (and more) however to me half the beauty of doing such a flash/reset is to NOT carry things over other than pure data (ie. not config)..
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
People

The faces images info is stored in the pim.vol but whatever you used to reinstall contacts(Exchange?) has sorted them in the wrong order.

I use a method which comes from doing countless rom upgrades.

I used sashimi but realised all it was doing was copying and restoring the pim.vol

Don't use PIM backup as going back & forth from backup and restore seems to lead to corrupted pim.vol files. I know you haven't done that but just a warning.

The way to get a mirror restore, is to copy the pim.vol file in the root folder(device\) before reinstalling to your sd card or pc, then copy back over the empty pim.vol after reinstalling. You can't do it in the device explorer or in activesync but with resco explorer or fexploreext you can. I avoid activesync so I don't get either duplicates or wiped out contact/calendar info. This may seem laborious but after hundreds of rom flashes it has value in being quick and safe. I have 450+ contacts I have accumulated in 7 years of owning PPC/WM's and always have a plethora of calendar items which I can not afford to lose or have corrupted.

If you want to backup sms's you can use PIM Backup.

Maybe you would find it easier to use MS Myphone. I have avoided it so can't give a review.
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
Pure data

Pure data is great, but once there are uc(user customisation) compliant Leo roms, there will be available, a beautiful way of reconstructing about 80% of all settings, applications and shortcuts. It restores all one's customisation in pristine order, with only the new rom's updated functions.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Good tip with with pim.vol file..

For what it's worth, I too have a similar amount of valuable contact and calendar data, however to date I'm pleased to report no amount of heavy ActiveSync (direct Exchange Server connection) abuse has caused any serious issues.
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
Activesync issues

There's always a first time, and 2nd and so on...

p.s. I'm not sure I want to flash roms the way I did on my HD,

but when I was doing it, activesync gave me a lot of problems.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
LOL - very true! For this reason I try to take a copy of all my contacts within Outlook at least once a month; both protects me from any wayward devices as well as any modifications I may make and then regret (change of numbers, deletions etc!).

:)
[HD2 General] lucid:
I love this feature

usually , one had to reconfigure all the favorite contacts after a hard reset.

Now, when syncing with Exchange, like said above, your favorites will be restored with pictures and all. Great :)

Never had them pop back in in the wrong order though.
[HD2 General] dandun:
Same here, I upgraded from HD to HD2, as soon as i sync with exchange i got my favs back in the correct order with all my emails , text messages etc etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] yogam1:
Hi All,

I have posted this query already, but didnt get a reply. So thought of re-phrasing the title.

Whenever I receive a phone call, the screen doesnt have the panel with the option of turning on the speaker phone, hold, mute, calendar etc.

But when I make a call, it looks fine.

I am running on the stock rom with 6.5 thats available in Asia.

Does any of you have this problem or can you let me know what the issue would be?

Thank you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Insomnious:
Recently, after trying to update to the latest version of Google Maps, my MT3G froze - and after reset I found out that it refuses to boot when sd card is in it. As soon as I remove the card - it boots up smoothly.

Tried formatting the card, did wipe/factory reset - with 0 effect. Still stuck on bootloader screen. I'm running CyanogenMOD 4.2.6.

Is there any solution to this mess?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ewandeep:
I had the same problem.

SD card was broken, I bought a new one and all works.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Insomnious:
Was it completely broken? I mean, mine is recognized by the cardreader and fully readable/writable.

It is even recognized by the phone - only in case it's inserted after the device boots up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
4x4 or 4 horizontal and 5 vertical would be even nicer but not the opposite way!

Pleeeeeaaasssseeee support me :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
+1 here

1+ same here. All of those existing .cabs change the fonts and although I activate the ClearType (or wathever that is), the fonts don't look good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Looks fine to me. I've got 5x4 quicklinks and the fonts are smooth, as you'd expect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Stan3k:
Which cab are you using for that? I am using a 4x4 one but it forces the plain black wallpaper.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ulukai3:
I would also love to have 4x4 or 4x5 which doesn't need to turn on clear type, because even with clear type on, font's are weird somehow.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
I got the quicklinks cab from here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591333

As far as I'm aware, that cab doesn't knacker your wallpaper, and I do know that contact images work too.

But, in case you're interested, I made the background (hi-res, on all tabs) with this...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=503511

Edit: I just tried it with ClearType off, and yeah, the font for the links is a bit poo. It looks like it's been done at normal size, and then shrunk very badly. Looks fine with ClearType on though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kinnyfaifai:
I have to turn on cleartype too, I've tried edit a font size and still makes no difference in the mode9 file. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
From what you have statet it looks to be quite bugless but it is again the 5x4. :)

I want 4x4 or 4x5 by all means (only 4 rows horizontal).

Any idea?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ulukai3:
Anyone has an idea or tutorial of some kind how to do what we need? Maybe we could try ourselves.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
Thank you Thank you. I could kiss you :P That "20 QuickLinks"-thingy was fantastic !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
Thanks but it is once more the cab with 5!!! in an horizontal line, I need 4.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] barty22:
Me too, I'd love a 4 horizontal, 5 vertical cab :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
That would be the best way :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nicodem314:
Like others dreaming of a bug less 4x5 :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] knight900:
No luck with the 20 quick links. Fonts is ok. but once i install 20 quick links. My background for all tabs don work anymore.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
Cannot be that difficult, when the first cabs was around for the HD2 I saw it everyday but did not save it.

Now it is impossible to find......:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Use this to get background for all tabs...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=503511

It works with the 5x4 quicklinks

I'm not saying there isn't one, but I've been on this forum since it started and I'm pretty sure I've never seen one that's 4x5. Only 4x4 or 5x4.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
Err.. you're welcome. I've never been so scared by someone saying thanks lol.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
4x4 would work just fine for me. 4x5 would be nicer but it is not my immediate need.

A bugless 4x4 would make me happy :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jibotella:
+1 for the 4x4, please :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
me too. ;)

But i think there is no bugless version out there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
Do I understand right, they have bugless 5x4 but no bugless 4x4 :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] knight900:
Well i guess that the only way, but having 20 different wallpapers will need to make 20 cabs.

I wish there will be a 20 quicklinks cab which can support bkgrd4alltabs
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
But this Thread is for a

4x4 cab

which got no effect on the used wallpaper, weather-animation or profil-images.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] doudouweb:
+1 for the 4x4 tab :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
I just found a .cab which supports the the 4x4 direct-links, and I have been told she is bugless.

Lets try and speak about it.

Hear she is:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] umiss:
I tried the one u attached above and the background-bug is still there...

I would also prefer a 4x4 instead of 5x4...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Not bugless. Adds 5 additional folder copies to the start menu which you can't delete permanently. (new ROM)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
Damnded,

I still did not have time to test it but how it looks I can let it.

It is also a 5x4 and got the wallpaper-Bug, f....k
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Cartman316:
I'm searching for a 4x4 that does allow you to personalize the wallpaper.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ToddeSwe:
Me to, i wonder why it is harder to get a 4x4 bugless?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TorstenT:
Can´t delete quicklinks

Hi I´ve installed "Vovichek_Jamrecords 16" to geht more quicklinks.

After I added the program "Bing" it´s not possible to delete it anymore.

I don´t won´t to hard reset my device to correct the problem.

I can´t delete my "youtube" and resco explorer" quicklinks too.

Any ideas ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gohyc:
I believe this is what you are looking for. :)

You have to install both the cabs. Do not need to reboot after installing the 1st cab. Likewise, there isn't a need to reboot after both installations. To "refresh" HTC Sense, just simply go into hometab main menu "Personalize Home Screen Tabs" and move one of the tab to another position and click "Done", and HTC Sense will restart with the 16 shortcuts (4 quicklinks on each row).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gohyc:
There isn't a need to hard reset just to correct this. :)

Use a registry editor and go to \HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home

Depending on the quicklink position your youtube and resco explorer is on, the number starts from 0 to 15. Say if Youtube on 1st row, leftmost, then go into Key "0", and clear all the fields (number fields set to 0 (zero) and strings to blank).

Restart HTC Sense.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 1stPeregrine:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
But that .cab got the call to have some bugs, does´nt it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 1stPeregrine:
Have you installed both cab's as gohyc writes? I did and it works fine and I had the same problem as you before.

Hi Bro, can u change yr wallpaper with weather animation?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] German:
Hey Guyz,

I believe i found the solution already.

The wallpaper needs to be built by HDWall!!!!!

I can use weather animated + personal wallpaper now.

Hope can help~
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
Here is the solution one kind member gave me yesterday.

It is the not only the

Vovichek_Jamrecords_16shcut_m1619.cab

but also the

Jamrecords_AddOn16shcut_bg4all_m1619.cab

Both are attached below.

It works out perfect on my HD2, got free choosealbe wallpapers as well as the weather-animation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Is the screen also getting darker when weather is cloudy and rainy?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
Did not even notice that before :confused:

But looks like it does not differ.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] c4Lvin:
hi guys I just installed both these cabs and surprisingly it seemed like it made my damn hd2 much more responsive than ever before.I am running 1.48 wwe asian rom. anyone notice that or just going insane cos I love her so much?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
When weather is bad and the car swiper is working the screen turns from dark to normal. That means that the car swiper not only removes the rain but also makes the screen more "visible/clearer" - which is a very nice effect. But some cabs remove those effect. Therefore i ask.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
To check on that I have to wait for rain :p, I keep you updated!

Think you love your baby to much :D, nothing else than me, tough still miss my flashed Touch HD sometimes, it was a cute thing too :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gohyc:
These are the files which you can use to make the rain animation either transparent (I prefer this one) or the original one ("dirty" background).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gohyc:
I am not certain if the 2 cabs I have posted earlier breaks the ability to change wallpaper from the home tab. I am able to change wallpaper via the Settings Tab, Personalize, Home Tab Wallpaper though, but not from home tab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] knight900:
Goh, i am still able to change wallpaper from the home tab after installing both the cabs you posted earlier.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gohyc:
Thanks knight for confirming that. I wasn't too sure what may have caused it as somebody has reported that, and it also happened to me. Could have been me trying too many combination of 16 quicklinks + bg4all that may have broken that.

No biggie though as I am still able to change wallpaper via the Settings tab. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
This is good...but one little bug for those with facebook contacts. The facebook logo will be outside the shortcut box, covering the name.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] X_ist:
so the default quick links remove can only support up to the default 0-8?

quite a hassle to remove the quick links

but it works, thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Sky740:
This is great, thanks. Quick question. If you remove the apps does all go back to the position before installation or are there any changes to manilla files remaining?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dfulgo:
...so, to summarize:

The two cabs solution is almost bugfree except that:

- You can change the last 5 links only via registry mods.

- The facebook icon is bigger than it should be.

Could you please confirm or update the above list with your experience: i.e. the car swiper works as expected?

Thanks a lot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
Ok, seems like that 4x4 is bugless, we had rain today in Austria (altough I could not see a drop) and the whiper-animation was working.

Also got the snowflakes, moving clouds, the sun and what you have.

Which one you used? there are two files
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:
Go with that ones, I think I remember that some one advised me to go with both of them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
almost bug-free....less the Facebook bug.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hannes_slanec:

In what way?

Did not realize anything so far. Tell the symtoms please.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jibotella:
Thanks mate, certainly is the best way of doing it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kenkiller:
If you have a contact linked to facebook on the front shortcuts, there is supposed to be a Facebook logo on the bottom left side of the contact picture.

With the cab used, the logo appears outside the picture, covering the name (first letter) of the contact. Try it and you'll see. :D

Not that it's a big inconvenience....but imagine someone being called "Tanny"....having the facebook logo there it becomes "Fanny" :D

Hi all,

I really like the fact the screen automatically switches off during calls using the proxy sensor - very clever, very battery saving! :)

How does this work when using a headset then (wired or bluetooth)? As in does it automatically switch off after say 10 secs? Or is there a button to press to turn it off? Ideally there would be.. otherwise I can see using a bluetooth headset would be a double-barrel battery drain during say a 20 minute call - both from the bluetooth radio and the screen being on all that time!
