[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] streetbob:
I tryed this too, but same message:

splashscreen.exe not found

I found splashscreen.exe on my computer, becaus I had used it befor flashing Artemis.

I copied it into the CoPilot file on the phone.

Surprise, it was already there but hidden, I overwrote it -> same again.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] John Cipolletti:
Before I talk about the software, I want to again say that this site is remarkable and the programmers that are on this site are fantastic. After getting apps and following the ways to tweak a registry in this forum, I now have an HTC Touch Pro 2 phone with WM 6.1 that outperforms my iPhones.

I have been programming iPhones for 4 years and gave away the last one a short time ago.

One of the programs that has helped make a difference is the Skyfire browser which (thru their servers) has a flash player. There is one thing that could greatly improve the software....a zoom BAR. I have tried out another such browser (from Hong Kong) called Mach5 and their zoom bar is great without having to tap. I have been communicating with the Skyfire programmers but I am still only a beginner (a month) to WM OS and don't have much credability. Is there any programmers on this site that have the background and reputation to talk to the Skyfire programmers about adding this zoom BAR? I have created and improved on software thru reversed engineering (take apart a program to make it better or make a better version). Mach5 could be analyzed for this. Oh, the big problem with Mach5 is that sites like NBC.com refuse to let the program view the video stream because of foreign issues.

Hey,

My hd2 is very slow in playing music. I've made a video from it to show you guys: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWbrBNKJ5wc

I have about a 1000 songs in my library each in a different folder by artist.

Can anyone help me? :)

Thank you in advance
[HD2 General] Teardrop45:
Ive got 480 songs and mine also takes dat much time to load..... only on Khol,s rom (1 Gz hack) it would load instantly
[HD2 General] glennvho:
Does anyone have any solution?
[HD2 General] Volw:
Try Nitrogen?
[HD2 General] g.lewarne:
i have 484 songs, and it most certainly dit NOT load instantly on kholk's roms, not the latest nor any of the previous ones.

The 1Ghz Hack, has been proven to the satisfaction of many, to be a fake.
[HD2 General] glennvho:
So does everyone have the same problem as me? I can't find much from this problem on google, strange.
[HD2 General] DT39:
Take everthing off your storage card and back it up, reformat your storage card fat32 32kb size reload all your stuff back on your card and let me know if it's faster!:D
[HD2 General] glennvho:
I tried this but sadly no improvement at all. :(

But thanks for the help. :)
[HD2 General] glennvho:
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?
[HD2 General] javielo1974:
I have the same issue, so I don´t use music tab any more, I use Slide2play, works great and I can switch from music player, desktop and navigator with taskfacade. :D
[HD2 General] appelflap:
I agree this is a very annoying problem. The problem is that each time you do a soft reset the music player is re-indexing the musiclibra/ry . That's no good :) Maybe it worked with the two albums the developers tested the app, but with 100+ albums it is simply a "bug".

Every now and then I spend some time in trying to fix this. Still no results. Played with some registry settings, did some reformating, nothing nada rien.

I think the only way to fix this problem is to teach the music player to stop searching for new music (unless it is trigger by the user) and use the same indexfile again and again...

BTW the indexfile is located in \Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng and it is called AudioManager_Eng.vol

This file, on my device 2.4 Mb, is rebuild again and again and again - each time you do a softreset (or even when you restart Sense)

(Maybe someone can do something with this info)
[HD2 General] fards:
alternatively you could try the following key:

hklm/software/htc/audiomanager_eng/config/resume_play_delay_time change it from 2000 (2 seconds) to 0

in the same key you can also try music_Player_index 1

athough i still dont know what that one does...

do you have anything else in the folders btw? album art is missing, if you connect via wifi or activsync and press the top left icon it should update the album art,. It may be something as stupid as trying to find that?
[HD2 General] Schooleydoo:
Its always been this way, and is the reason I moved to Pocket Player a couple of years back. Never looked back :D
[HD2 General] appelflap:
Yeah I know, Pocket Player is so much better. But i'm kinda used to the cover flow of the sense player. It so comfortable in the car. Just rotate the car-mount and then select another album/song while keeping the eyes on the road. Way much better then the list view of pocket player. But apart from that....
[HD2 General] glennvho:
Ok, I have changed those 2 strings you suggested and then I did a soft reset in order to apply the changes.

But still no improvement at all. :(

Also I have only music in my music folder and nothing else except for the album art offcourse.

Btw, I know you can update the album art and I have done that several times already but for some songs it doesn't find any album art at all.
[HD2 General] khl3073:
Maybe this would help...

Well, I had some succes. I have approx. 800 mp3 and they load in about 3-4 seconds.

But you have to open Mediaplayer and index them first.

Before I indexed it took about 5 minutes to load.

The indexing made a difference.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
could be a dodgy tag. try clearing your card, then move over your music a few albums at a time.sees if any particular album makes a difference.I had a single track one time that crashed most music players I tried. non standard characters in one of the tags.

alternatively, got any files with excessively long names?
[HD2 General] glennvho:
Well I tried to first index all my music with media player. It added about 920 songs. Then I closed mediaplayer and I went back to sense and went to the music tab bus sadly still nog improvement for me. :( But it was worth trying. :)

@samsamsuel: I have no dodgy tags, i converted them all with mp3tag. But yes I think I have some long tags in there, I could try to shorten them a bit. Hope this will work. :)
[HD2 General] appelflap:
If you solved this problem please report it back here. I have 1700 files, so... you know :(
[HD2 General] glennvho:
Ok I have converted all my tags to ID3v2.4 and I also shotened al the tags because I had a few of them wich were a bit long I thought. :D

Also I have deleted all the : , & @ / symbols in my tags.

But still there is no improvement at all. :( It still takes about 15-16 seconds to show the song title and artist like shown in the video. So all this work was for nothing. :(
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] atriad:
Good Morning All,

I've now had over a week with my Touch Pro 2. I like it in several ways and hate it in several others.

Videos, YouTube/etc look absolutely phenomenal...this looks like hdtv, the iphone looks like fuzzy pixelated sdtv...(the gf has an iphone)

maybe its that i get much better bandwidth on sprint compared to at&t, i dunno don't care...

I welcome that larger battery!!

I hate the functionality of the quick menu. In my TP(1), I used this heavily as it always showed the running applications. In my TP2, I barely see anything listed in there, especially running web browsers, I have to click on Internet/Launch Browser to get back to my running Browser.

I also haven't found a good copy of the HTC Wifi Router-Comm Manager combo application. But, I have found versions of the OTHER mobile wifi router on another ppc forum website.

I have other gripes, but I figured I'd start with these and see what others suggest. I always meant to install a new rom on my TP(1) and never got around to it. Maybe there's a rom that'll fit me better that others can suggest.

Paul
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] JohnnyFucknuts:
Everything "might change" once the "oft spoken off but never seen" update to 6.5.x comes from Sprint.

Depending on what market you're in the bandwidth might be reason.

I use WMWiFiRouter to share/tether my connection without issue. I've been using that since my Mogul (never had the TP).

You could use the FTC Task Manager to see everything running but that wouldn't solve your request to easily switch. The Task Manager on my Mogul was better so I agree with you on the TP2 one not being as good.

What other gripes do you have (I bet one of them is the CM_Guardian_Service)? :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] gamescan:
Sprint defaults the "X" to close (rather than suspend). Thusly you'll never see anything in your quick menu if you always tap "X" to close a window. Go into the options and change it to the older default (tap to close the window not the program) and the quick menu will behave as you remember.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] worwig:
Search for "CM Internet Sharing".
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] atriad:
Thanks for the tips guys!

I'll try the Tap X to.... in a few moments...

Yea I can't wait to try 6.5.X

My Boss has the Vz TP2 and I'm itchin' to do his upgrade just to see what changes there are.

I Hope sprint doesn't drop the ball on this.

Paul
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] THE-COPS:
FDC Task Manager is way better than the stock TM. I hate that the built-in TM doesn't show 3/4 of the crap that I run. And what is the exclusive list for? Nothing is ever in there. With FDC, it's exactly like XP Task Manager but way better. Shows EVERYTHING, not to mention all the running services, open windows, full blow registry editor, IP/TCP services. etc etc. Go get it, it's free.

Need help on this.
[HD2 General] zolom:
After installing a new exchange mail account, my HD2 had started to prompt for a screen lock password (maybe a policy issue?).:mad:

I did apply one and then tried to remove it (did not enter anything in the password fields and then saved). My HD2 repeated bugging me for a password.:mad:

I did set it to 'every 24 hours' .

Now, each time I connect to activesync via USB or after each soft reset, the HD2 prompts fro the password.:mad:

Is there a way to provent that? or at least to prevent when connecting via USB to activesync?

Thanks
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
I don't think this is the HD2, it's the exchange server policy, I used to have the same thing and it was hugely anoying, so I got our infrastructure engineer to remove the policy on our exchange. Now I don't need to login each time
[HD2 General] zolom:
Yes, but isn't there a method to inhibit that passcode request?
[HD2 General] DanMar:
You need to edit the registry on the handset and make the following change:

Enable/Disable Exchange Security Policy

Registry Key: HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023

To enable it: Set value to 0

To disable it: Set value to 1

After setting this value the option to disable the security is no longer greyed out. Once setting this it does get reset again when connecting to Exchange. There is a utility that can periodically check for the setting and remove it found here:

I used the root method at unlockr.com, and i have #root# access in the terminal emu app. When i get to the part at unlockr about flashing recovery, (thru terminal emulator) i get an error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.iso

I have RUU'd the phone at least 5 times... I have also tried using the cmd using the guide here, and get an error at basically the same spot.

my hero is 1.56.651.2. i have spent over 15 hours across 2 days searching forums and trying different methods, but i guess i must be doing something wrong.

btw.. the very first time i tried using the method from unlockr (root through cmd, flash recovery through terminal emu) it *almost* worked. It tried and got a ton of messages and an error regarding too little memory. after i looked it up and realized i could have just freed up memory in the PHONE(not sdcard) it was too late, i had already RUU'd again. It hasnt come close to flashing since, only the error reading message.
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
this isn't your issue is it?

----------------------

settings>sd card and phone storeage>unmount sd card

do a RUU to go back to bone stock, same version you have

follow this

EDIT: and when it get to this part about "flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img" give it an extra min after you hit enter and it "looks" like it's done before proceeding

let me know if you get stuck, i'll keep an eye on this thread also let me know at exactly which step "looks weird"
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
oops that was just a typo. I have been using .img for the file ext like you are supposed to. I have formatted the sd before trying, and the same error. The guide you pointed me to also did not work, I always get a flash error at (step 18). I have RUU'd at least 5 times to start over, and it didnt help any.

and about giving it an extra minute after the flash command, it instantly tells me

"error reading /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img"

so i cant really do that.

What should i do:confused:
[Hero CDMA General] modchipper:
I have ran into that same issue. I would guess you have upgraded the stock sd card. If you have, it is formated to fat32 not fat like the original. Try formating the card fat then try again. Good luck to you.

Dave

EDIT: I see you have formated the card. I believe the card has to be fat not fat 32 (someone correct me if im wrong). When I was rooting my phone I had same error til I formated it fat. May the force be with you.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
What do you mean by upgraded the sd card? I didnt ever do that...at least not on purpose. So how would i check the format?
[Hero CDMA General] modchipper:
Put the card into a card reader in a pc, right click on drive and hit properties.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
crap, i dont have a reader for this type of card. no way to do it through the phone?

and this problem couldnt be from anything else, could it?
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
you can mount the card from the notifications bar when you plug your phone in usb. then just right click on the removable disk in my computer (mine's drive H: ) then click "properties"

it will bring up this window

if it says FAT32 then there's the (assumed) problem.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
Okay!

it IS fat32.
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
do you know how to format?

before you format be sure to save anything you have on your sd card that you want/need as it will erase everything.

1. move anything you like to save to your computer from your sd card

2. right click on the removable disk in my computer

3. click on "format"

4. in the little window that pops up chose "FAT" leave everything else alone

5. click start.

6. thats it!
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
damn its not working.

As soon as i click format it unmounts...any idea?

BTW thanks for the help
[Hero CDMA General] thedudejdog:
i've never tried it that way, but you will probably have to go the card reader option, or use...

GParted

windows disk management

but those tools give you the power to seriously mess up your computer. so i recommend running these on someone's computer you don't like.

or the card reader option
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
You can format the card under "SDCard and Phone storage"

Just unmount then format.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
Okay well modchipper said he had the same problem, and the sd has to be formatted to FAT,not Fat32.

Gparted and the other tool, how can they mess up my computer?

The format option in the phone formats to FAT32...
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
If you're not careful you can accidentally nuke your hard drive, instead of your sdcard.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
Well i tried windows disk management and it didnt see the drive. Gives me a feeling that gparted wont work either. does anyone know for fact that sdcard format has to be FAT?
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Well once again I'm at my mom's, and her USB ports are screwed up, so I couldn't tel you what mine is formatted as.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Well i have multiple SDCards, but the one that is currently in my phone is formatted in FAT32 & I believe that was the one I used to root & flash the recovery originally...
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
Well this just seems impossible it seems ive hit a wall...

Im trying to use Fresh pre kitchen, but that wont work either because i have windows 7.:(
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
The Fresh Pre-kitchen works fine on Win7.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I'd say try renaming it to RA.img

I renamed it when I rooted, and it worked fine for me.

That that'd be

flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA.img
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
Got it! turns out the 1.5.2 recovery image i was trying to flash must have been bad or something. I tried 1.2.3 and it worked right away.

Is 1.2.3 really much different? also with what ROM can i tether (whole reason i wanted root in the first place)
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
All of them, but the 2.1 provides USB tethering.

Yeah, some of the "With Google" phones (1.56) have trouble going straight to 1.5.2, and it's recomended you go to 1.2.3, then upgrade.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
Usb tether is only on 2.1? no way to get it on any others?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
AOSP 1.6 doesn't have tethering, but you can install apps that accomplish this.

You don't even have to root to USB tether, you can use PDANet, though I never got it to work, but I know plenty that have.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I got it to work 5 minutes at a time, and it seems alot of other people did the same, but it was constantly disconecting.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
I have been using pdanet, but my trial ran out. can still access the web but no email/online games anymore. So 2.1 is the only way?

I think i remember seeing something abt being able to switch ROMs quickly with some sort of app.. What i would like to do is use eclair 2.1 rom for tethering and modacos rom for my main one. Is it possible to easily switch back and forth like this?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
The free/trail doesn't allow you to access secure sites. This is why what is happening is happening.

Here are some other apps that can also USB Tether:

azilink

android-wired-tether
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Android-Wired-Tether doesn't work on the Hero, regardless of ROM.

I haven't tried azilink though.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
so any way to switch ROMs quickly? im kinda waiting on this cuz i dont want to install one ROM and be stuck with it.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
SwitchROM ;)
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
switching roms is easy as using the flash zip option from the recovery mode. you can switch from rom to rom without loosing any data or apps. quick and painless compared to the g1. always a do a nandroid backup before hand because you never know.

right now running the 2.1 for mobile networking sharing. f*** pdanet.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
Can you explain how to get MNS working with 2.1? i guess im gettin that.

i downloaded modaco 2.2 because it said it has wifi tether.. couldnt find it anywhere once installed(not even sure if it worked right). i can install these ROMs with the 1.2.3 amon RA recovery right?
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Plug phone in. Tap "Mobile Netowrk Sharing." Done.
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
after you go through the setup the setup wizard. connect your hero to your pc with usb cable. on your hero go to Settings>Wireless & networks. At the bottom is an option to enable MNS. your pc will do the rest.

i think there's even an option during the setup wizard for how your hero interacts with pc when connected IE sync, mns, or mount sdcard.

yeah you can use v1.2.3 just go to the choose zip option and it'll show list of all zips in the root of your sdcard.
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
okay well im not even sure modaco worked.. It said it did in the recovery, but it looks the same as the factory rom. nothing any differnt that i can tell, is there a way to verify the rom installed?

Also it said modaco comes with wifi tether... but i cant find the app.?
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I think it's

Settings>About Phone
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
modaco rom doesn't change the way Sense looks; neither do any of the cdma roms except fresh. most rom devs replace the build number with their own internal one in the about phone menu.

you'll also notices some other apps that modaco included in is rom like a Note app.

wifi tether should be in the bottom of the app tray called "Wireless Tether for Root Users"
[Hero CDMA General] cweezyf:
nope no wireless tether app included... i did get bizcard reader and wap browser tho. is it possible it halfway installed or something?

Anyway i downloaded wifi tether and the program runs and my comp can find the network but when i connect it tells me no internet access in the network area on win7.

this is drivin me crazy! Lol

XDA has helped source front camera access on a number of Windows Mobile phones for our Video Conference application on Touch Screen HTC and Samsung i900 phones.

This application is now in Beta (no charge for use or download) and we would like if users would try it out and give some feedback.

It is a work in progress and we are automating so your wish list item may be already in the course of being implemented, but please let us know anyway.

It is Flash based and compatible from WM 6.1 and upward. We have not had too many phones to test it on so feel free to give it a try. Some of the phones may not be able to access the front camera but it can still be used as a back camera VoIP or indeed audio only.

Another good thing about this is that it is accessed using SMS so no website login and invitations to be sent to millions of your contacts. We wanted you to be able to use your own contacts on your phone and send them normal SMS to invite to conference.

Anyway give it a go and let us know.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] misko903:
does it support skype? or other clients? if yes, than its perfect!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] compulife:
thanks dear
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eplixo:
HI Misko903

This is phase 1 which is a multiple user group conference system for Windows Phone/Mobile (depending on what MS is calling it these days :) This system actually allows you to use your own contacts and SMS system to send invitations (WM phones for now) and once you are using Data it will work on 3G or Wi-Fi.

Phase 2 is what we hope to be cross platform on anything that we can get to work with Flash. This is expected to go into beta in about 4 weeks.

Phase 3 includes iPhone which is also in development and once this is completed it will have full SIP connectivity and this will allow us to integrate with Skype.

So it is not just a one off application, but a fully scalable system that will be open to all platforms. There are limitations on this phase (while in beta) which will cause you to have to reconnect if you slip out of Wi-Fi range into 3G, but this will be a transparent change once in phase 2 in a few weeks.
