Can't get to my applications or settings anymore

HELP! I tried to install these components on my Tilt 2 (Win 6.5, GSM), and somehow messed up the Start button (both the software and hardware version). I now don't have access to any of my applications, or even the settings to uninstall this stuff.

Any idea how I could get control over my phone again? Any registry settings to disable/alter to get me back to my settings. I want to avoid having to do a hard reset.

Problem occured after installing the 'oVi's WinDroid Project! TaskBar v0.8 192dpi WM6.5.x.cab'

The phone was using 'Windows Default' Home (not the HTC's TF3D), which might have confused the install.
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_gunners:
the bluetooth icon doesn't change ?

any clue how to solve it ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] whois101:
Semi-bricked

Everything in the Taskbar changed (everything is gone). I only have a dead Start button and a (working) Close button left. The hardware Start button is dead too. I cannot get to applications or even settings to uninstall it.

Any clue how to solve it?
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:
mmh, which wm6.5.x build version do you have on your phone?

CDMA or GSM?
[Windows Mobile Themes] ngt1337:
does it work on 21xxx builds ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:
now it should work, i have released a new iconbar-package für old 21xxx builds.

Look in the first post :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] whois101:
It's a Tilt 2, GSM, wm6.5 Pro - original ROM, can't see the exact build on that phone, but it's probably 21849.5.0.63 (got that from another one we bought at the same time)

Note that I can Active Sync and access the file system, as well as edit the registry remotely. Just cannot execute anything, get to the filemanager or settings on the phone, since all of that goes through Start.
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:
*g* wm 6.5.x is not wm 6.5, but now i've uploaded a special package for the old 21xxx builds

hi when i install v0.8 taskbar for my phone the taskbar ends up like that, also i can not launch start, when i click the hardware button nothing happens and when i click start on the taskbar nothing happens.

any help?
[Windows Mobile Themes] whois101:
How to apply such a package on a semi-bricked phone?

Wow, 'old' huh? :p Funny how fast things go, because the phone was released in November.

Practical question: how can I apply a the special package when I don't have access to the file manager (remember: no 'Start' anymore) on the phone? Can I apply it remotely and either restore my hardware and software Start, or get alternative access to my apps (incl. filemanager)?
[Windows Mobile Themes] whois101:
That's exactly the same thing I'm talking about!
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:
thats the dll's from the 23xx build and are not compatible with the non facelift versions... its exactly described in my post and only tested on wm 6.5.x and NOT wm 6.5, but i have made a package for the non facelift versions...

I think, you could make a external installer...

look here http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/2169/install-cab-files-directly-from-your-pc.html
[Windows Mobile Themes] p_dibb:
right so because im on 6.5 i cannot install this taskbar?
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:
...what could this be :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] p_dibb:
i am on windows mobile 21xxx build but it still does not work
[Windows Mobile Themes] whois101:
Didn't work - still semi-bricked, but slower.

Same here. And everything is extremely slow, too.

Is there any switch to disable the Windroid taskbar in the registry, so the WinMo controls work again?

Thanks for the link to CABbyActiveSync tool, though. That's really cool.
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:
did you have take the wm 6.5 version of my iconset?
[Windows Mobile Themes] geros77:
I installed version wm6.5 on a ROM with build 21901 on my TOUCH-HD but the key for the control volume does not work. :(

Is there a way to fix the problem?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] whois101:
Installed all WM 6.5 stuff - still semi-bricked

Yes, I installed the 6.5 stuff, same deal. No images, no function, no original Start function, so I can't get to any application or setting. :eek:

I need to know what to do to get rid of this stuff. It's not gonna work, and to me it's not worth messing with it. I need to be able to get back to my apps and settings.

Are there registry settings that can give me back my control over the Start button (hardware, software, or both)? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] p_dibb:
can you not get to your settings by using the slider?
[Windows Mobile Themes] whois101:
No slider, either

There is no slider. Probably not smart, but I installed the packages while I was still using the Windows Default Today screen :eek: (I hate the extra TF3D layer, since it forces extra steps that are frustrating for the business power user). I was thinking that it installed and then you could select it like a theme. No such luck. No slider, no settings, no nothing.

I would think there is a way to get the start function back in the registry. And then uninstall. Or there might even be a remote uninstaller. But I need help finding that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] MiDiANx360:
@whois101:

I had the same problems with another taskbar once before. I connected the phone via activesync and renamed the files the new taskbar replaced in my \windows-directory. (the list of files was inside the cab in a xml-file). After that i did a soft reset and my old standard winmo taskbar was back.

This might work for you too (or make it worse).

Apart from that you could use the linked remote install package thingie and us it to create a installation with any working taskbars for 6.5 and afterwards uninstall both.

Regards

MiDiAN
[Windows Mobile Themes] fmedrano1977:
probable fix

you can also remove installed stuff via activesync
[Windows Mobile Themes] whois101:
Might work, but need confirmation from OP

Thank you for your suggestions. I tried to install that 6.5 stuff remotely using that 'thingie' you're referring to, but that didn't do the trick.

If I can find the right files (I would need a CAB reader or editor) with the ActiveSync File Explorer, I'm afraid that the registry still points to it and my semi-brick, might become a full brick. Maybe Ovi can help determining if I can remove the files safely or not.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fmedrano1977:
using activesync, in the menu bar, hit tools/AddRemove programs, uninstall the taskbar that way
[Windows Mobile Themes] whois101:
Solved

I didn't discover that trick of that package, yet. That worked like a dream! I was able to remove the taskbar, and my Start button works again. :)

Weird thing is that my computer crashed while removing the related themes, and I haven't been able to keep it up long enough to do anything with it, so that's why I'm responding late. I wonder if I should quit doing anything with computers and phones this week :eek:

Thanks for your help. My phone is back and usable! :cool: Now back to restoring my computer....
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_gunners:
what about bluetooth icon?

any way how to apply this mod for bluetooth icon too ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] chanmama:
hi ovi, can you share your wifi/3g/bluet/phone toggle short cut software and the icon?
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:

[Windows Mobile Themes] JJKameR:
On wm 6.5 on top right corner there is a black box that covers the battery and task manager area.

In addition why highlighting text the higthligth is black on black... :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] fmedrano1977:
thats becuase that black box part of the theme was really meant for the 6.5.x which dispplays the clock in that upper right hand corner in white text. You need to edit that that taskbar image and remove the black box.
[Windows Mobile Themes] t12icky0:
whenever i install this the icons show up ok but the battery percent in the middle is all jacked up and pixelated so much you cant tell what it is. its like someone just went into piant and just did white dots inside my battery icon.

Im on wm 6.5 21xxx and even installed that cab. yet it still does this. it does fine when charging just the percent part when its not on a charger? any advice?
[Windows Mobile Themes] mikentucson:
seems a couple other people have the same problem as me but i didnt see a fix yet.. im running Miri's V15 extreme-lite hd2 rom and get a white taskbar with clock with no icons.. it works perfect on Kumar's rom but i dont want to run Sense anymore, just mobile shell. running build 23563.5.5.0 wm6.5.x

[Windows Mobile Themes] Sulquendi:
I've tried the 6.5.x taskbar & theme on my Toshiba TG01 (running wm6.5.5) :

- Classical Start menubar appears on bottom but pressing the start button hangs the system

- icons have desapeared from the top bar (only time is displayed)
[Windows Mobile Themes] fmedrano1977:
to all you with issues.

Have you installed sdkcerts.cab, its listed as a first must do in every other taskbar thread but this one. It's also posted for download on other taskbar threads but this one. I'm guessing he forgot to mention it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Guus_:
Will these bugs be fixed? Because I don't see them at "Known Bugs:". Thanks again for this awesome mod! :D

[Windows Mobile Themes] GrandmasterFlash:
Hallo myslee_ovi,

I would like to know whitch german 6.5.X ROM you are using? I love your Style and would like to use it for my whole System and not only the Taskbar.
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:
It's my own Rom :)

I want to release it too and the first release will be very soon.
[Windows Mobile Themes] GrandmasterFlash:
Looks like you're using an HD2. Then there Probably won't be a release for the Touch Pro 2 right? Maybe I should try to cook my own ROM aswell^^
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:
I can't fix it, cuz it's a built-in "feature" of Windows Mobile

But you don't do anything, it's only a delayed updating... and not a true bug.

mmh... i know... but i don't have an idea to fix it. There are only one taskbar background-image. A live image-change don't work :/

But i work on a hack to overtake the full control of the taskbar-layout.

It's a built-in windows mobile "feature" too *g* I only can fix it, when i change the complete checkbox layout.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Propheticus:
Firstly: thanks for a clean and readable taskbar.

Secondly: I've found a little bug where the battery will shift to the right and hit the black clock background when it's 0:45 for example. So when there is only 1 digit in front of the : seperator. This also happens in portrait, but then the time doesn't matter.
[Windows Mobile Themes] myslee_ovi:
It's said very often here in the thread...

You must change the Clockstyle from H:mm:ss to HH:mm:ss in the Localization Settings...

Dark Ninja's taskbar works for me, but not this one.

Ofc i'm using sdkcerts.cab
[Windows Mobile Themes] Propheticus:
Uninstalled dark ninja's tasbar properly before installing this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] geros77:
anyone can help me?:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] heru:
The clock is almost the same but it's different :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nandeh:
problem with clock

First of all, thanks for the great taskbar and theme! :) It's just what i was looking for... and sorry for my low english :(

I have installed the GTX Team Theme, and i thought that ovi's taskbar was the perfect complement for it, so i installed it too. Like the taskbar color didn't change installing ovi's, i installed too the Android White Taskbar Colour.cab... All fine, the only problem is that the clock in taskbar is white over a white background... i didn't get the black rectangle around it... Here is a screenshot:

Is posible fix it?

Anticipated thanks!!

Edit: for add more data

I'm using GTX Team Theme Uncompressed over the Artemis v11 ROM (idk the difference between Compressed and Uncompressed version). I'm not sure if it can affect the taskbar.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Propheticus:
Check the GTX Sense theme thread for the GTX WM 6.5.x theme v2, this theme will skin the taskbar (top), softkeybar (bottom) and the rest of the Windows interface. The skin for the taskbar contains a black rectangle background for the clock.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nandeh:
Oki thank you!

Should I unistall the current taskbar and Android White Taskbar Colour.cab before apply the GTX WM 6.5.x. theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Propheticus:
Just install the GTX WM theme it will overwrite the current taskbar background. You could uninstall the white taskbar colour first...since you won't be using it anymore anyway. Might as well remove it from the isntalled apps list :P
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nandeh:
Hi again!

There are some cabs in the GTX WM 6.5.x theme v2.zip, i supose each one with different graphic features. I have tried installing 2 of them (separately) and no one worked. My taskbar and softkey bar are still black.

I don't know what's the problem... I'm using Artemis ROM v11 for HTC HD2 that includes X2 TaskManager. Maybe is this the problem?

Thanks!

PD My Manila version is 2.5.2012 and WinMo is 23563.5.5.0
[Windows Mobile Themes] Nandeh:
I got it... i uninstalled taskbar and theme, and after reinstall them again, they worked.

[Windows Mobile Themes] Irishpride:
First off, just want to say thanks for the work your putting into this, it's a great theme. I could definitly tell it was meant for a bigger and higher quality screen, but the battery and ringer status didn't look too bad considering the difference in WVGA & QVGA. Let me know if you need anything.

i kno this is noobish..

but u say, WVGA is that VGA compatible.

im using a backup vzw tp .. btw

This is looking great man, looking much better than the 'other 'android taskbar. If I was you, I'd change the thread name to something like:

You have to set a background for your home screen.

And yes, the taskbar is really looking nice, as I predicted :D. You should also rename your thread, as EC said.

New wait cursor

Hi guys,

I've added DarkNinja's great Android Taskbar wait cursor to ovi's amazing taskbar (WinDroid Project! TaskBar v0.8 WM6.5.x) to fit perfectly to my GTX theme.

I hope DarkNinja has nothing against putting his wait cursor to another taskbar.

Now my GTX theme is so sweet with android taskbar and new stylish wait cursor... :D

Copy "shellres.192.dll" to windows folder (make a copy of the original one) and reset your device. Please keep in mind, that this change is made for wm 6.5.x versions, not shure if it will also work with wm 6.5

hi all,

sorry if this was already asked and answered, I just don't feel like browsing the 40 pages of this thread :)

I have a phone running WM 6.1 (which is showing signs of imminent hardware failure, so I'd rather not upgrade it to 6.5 yet as it could make the warranty void -just to explain why the silly question) ; I was wondering whether that theme would work on it ?

is there a way to decrease the distance between the battery icon and other icons from the taskbar on 6.5 verison ? I suppose because of the clock on 6.5.x that distance is normal, but on 6.5 the distance is too big ...

You simply install it as any other cab: copying it on your Leo and launching it.

But once installed on your German Artemis 22A, let us know the result. I just tried on on the French version and almost any information on my taskbar just disappeared. I just had the time displayed. I had to remove it to recover all information.
