Sorry, you did make me smile!!! You asked if it would work with Sense 2.1 and then 3 minutes later, you discovered it didn't!!!! ;)

Try this:

Re-install it

Disable Sense

Then remove it

Then re-start Sense

Hopefully you will be back to normal....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DennisSclan8:
Were did everyone go? WOW, good inform. for us Noobs that enjoy (sucessful so far) surgery. This was like being in college again with a room full of prof. learning how through this mod Windows, Sense, Roms play against and with each other. Don't go away keep teaching WE NOOBS THANK YOU ALL !!!!:eek::eek:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] FL5:
Heh. There's really not all that much more to talk about. The cab file in post 131 is a very good implementation, and what I now use as part of my regular setup. This definitely beats the pants off of Quick Menu.

It is kind of a bummer that this thread has basically died. The OP came in with a pretty stellar idea and then dropped off the face of the planet. Pretty much makes it so that this idea is gonna fall off into the list of abandoned threads. Ohwellz.

Of course, if you have a question, feel free to post. Every now and again, someone may check in. :p

Hey is there a way to replace the all programs list in the programs tab with the start menu? i would love to have both since i have the programs tab set as default for my hdw win key.

thnx
[Windows Mobile Software Development] djsolidsnake86:
where is the x/ok button and the start button?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] FL5:
Use the pack at post 131.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] djsolidsnake86:
i only want a cab for remove the start menu only
[Windows Mobile Software Development] FL5:
Right-o. I think once you read post 137 you will have your answer.

Y'know, you could try reading through some threads a little? That answer really wasn't that far back...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] neugier:
first, I want to thank you for this amazing peace of code! The original wimo 6.5 ... startmenu is exactly what I don't want to have as the start menu ;-)

second, there are two questions:

how can I (can I?) temporarily disable wimo orignal start menu?

when I use the cab from arto to completely disable the startmenu, what happens, when sense is off? can I get it back in this case? cause if I dont have a startmenu, how could I enable sense UI?

thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bevoc:
now you can map this **** to the hardware key

this is the shiznits!!

install total comander and mmapplauncher

create shortcut for manila.exe located in /windows

place the shortcut in /windows/starmenu/programs

using total commander, open the properties for the shortcut you have just created.

under the shortcut tab, add --switchtopage Manila://programs/allprograms.page

after "\Windows\manila.exe"

close the properties pane....

now you have a working shortcut to the start menu....

now, mmapplauncher as it can still access your control panels - go to buttons

assign your harware start key to the shortcut you have just created

now you can uninstall mmapplauncher because it hogs memory.

your hardware start key should open up kenia/ocman startmenu

add your cpl shortcuts there :o
[Windows Mobile Software Development] realthor:
is this supposed to work on non-sense UIs? I have Titanium on an xperia x1 and the start menu replacement doesn't seem to work.

please guide me to install and use this as I am sick of the memory hog original start menu...at lest if the animation would be smooth, but it's horrible.

many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] FL5:
Nope. This start menu replacement requires sense 2.5 to be running in order to use it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ascertainer:
hi,

works proper, but is there a customisation posibility?

i need black background, no "used progz" but only a clean and slim start menu with NON hexagonal style.

thx
[Windows Mobile Software Development] reeshmd23:
works great how do you get rid of the start menu icon on the taskbar though
[Windows Mobile Software Development] reeshmd23:
start menu disabler works good only problem is when i hit the hard key or start menu icon on touch screen it causes the phone to freeze, im running super rom with spb 3.5

[Shift General] Atariflops:
Hello all! Managed to get myself a shiny Shift a few days ago on good ol' eBay. It's locked to Orange so I took a trip to the Orange shop within my local shopping centre. I was informed by the little kid behind the desk that he had never heard of a Shift and insisted that Orange never released it anyway. I informed him of how wrong he was and he gave up and told me that I have to own the device for three months registered to my name before I can get an unlock code and it would cost me £30. I asked him how it would be entered anyway and he said he didn't know. A wasted journey methinks.

I have a good deal with Vodafone for data and stuff and I'm not too bothered about unlocking and liberating the Snapvue side of things so would this work?

h**p://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-UNIVERSAL-SIM-CARD-UNLOCK-ANY-MOBILE-PHONE-UK-/180504699881?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Mobile_Home_Phones_Sim_Cards_CV&hash=item2a06eb23e9

Anyone else used one of these or is liberation the only way? Or would it be possible/wothwhile to call Orange themselves?

Thanks! :D

Hey guys - I just got a new job and my employer's code of internet conduct (or w/e) says that in order to use company email on my phone, they strongly recommend password protecting my phone (to safeguard emails in case of theft)..

I'm coming from a Blackberry, where my phone was easy to password protect, but I can't seem to find that setting for the Evo. Is it possible?

(Yes I know about the screen unlock pattern thing - I was hoping for something slightly more secure?)

Thanks in advance!! (If it helps I'm fully rooted and NAND'd)

Hi!

I have an old HTC TyTn II that runs on Android. The android installation is corrupt, and I have no version of Windows Mobile installed underneath. How can I flash the HTC with a version of WM without getting it into some sort of OS?

I really hope someone can help me with this =)

Arvid
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Put it into bootloader flash WM ROM either by SD or Sync.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] arvid88:
Thank you so much!

I had a feeling that it would be really easy =)
[Droid Incredible General] JustinD2473:
Does anyone have the new 1.6.2 version installed ?

Says it comes with handScent SMS and k9 mail.....but what I want to know is, does it also have the stock android SMS and mail apps also ? In case I didn't want to Use a third party app.
[Droid Incredible General] buckweet:
Actually.. I tried the both unrevolved and the captjager (senseless) roms, while they don't have the sense ui, they still have all of htc apps. So its kinda of pointless IMHO.. I can disable the senseui with the HTC build.

If you want pure vanilla the Cyanogenmod is the only one that I know of. I am running this one and it has its own bugs unfortunately. But it is really fast I must say. The biggest bug that I notice is some screen tearing.
[Droid Incredible General] JustinD2473:
I'm also currently running the CM test ROM. While I love the speed, and my battery was amazing on day 1 (only light usage, but i only drained 15-20% all day yesterday on my 1500mah battery)....I want something with a few less bugs for now. Thinking of running one of these other ROMS until the full vanilla (hopefully FroYo) gets a little better.
[Droid Incredible General] dB Zac:
Handscent uses the stock SMS app to send MMS so it would have to have the stock SMS app
[Droid Incredible General] nightxda:
yes it does .
[Droid Incredible General] B-dub25:
why does facebook have sync problems( i.e with contacts)
[Droid Incredible General] dB Zac:
I think its because its still based on the HTC sense rom witch syncs facebook with friendstreem.apk, not the android facebook app. If you go to options in the android facebook app the contact sync options arent there. If you push the friendstreem.apk (you can leave the widget off) back onto the phone it should sync facebook again.

I installed this rom and thought it was okay then i flashed the non-oc undervolt kernel (w/o n wifi) and my phone hasent been better. Surprisingly it made a huge difference. Im still using jagers vanilla rom of course
[EVO 4G General] sammyluva:
Hello everyone. I am coming from windows mobile which I have been using since 2003. I really like Android but I had a few questions and concerns.

1. I realized that apps have access to personal data and are able to access internet and dial. Should I be concerned? How can I be assured that an app developer is not after my bank info and such?

2. Why are so many apps running in the background when I haven't opened them?

I am already using advanced task killer but when i look at the apps running there's a full list even tho I didn't open them.

3. Is there a file explorer on android?

Any tips and tricks would be appreciated.

[EVO 4G General] brandenk:
1. Just use common sense like was said.

2. If you use the main apps that came with the phone you are fine. It can be apps you download that run in the background that hurt the battery life.

3. Astro file manager is by far my favorite app.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
How did you prevent apps on WM from accessing this info? Answer..you didn't, the fact is that WM programs are even more scary because they don't even tell you what they are accessing.

Same answer as why are so many services running on your desktop when you have no programs running. Operating systems have all kinds of services running beside the app you are watching.

Uh...did you check the program icons?
[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
1.) As stated, doesn't hurt to check the number of DLs an App has or checking through some of the comments. Can find out if an App is giving a specific phone issues too ... thus saving you time from bothering to check it out. Trust it or don't check it out. Understandable why some people would see that and wonder ... but then again your info is already out there ... :rolleyes:

2.) They just do. Even some **** that might not make sense, it just does for it's own reasons. Task killing can be good and bad. Or just good. Or just bad. Depending on who you ask so think on it before you decide to start murdering Apps or leaving em running.

3.) Astro File Manager is "what's up" but there are others. But that 1 is legit though.

:)
[EVO 4G General] sammyluva:
Thanks for all those that replied but I didn't really get a satisfying answer to the first 2 questions. It seems like some of the people on here are just confused as well but are defending android in thinking that I am against the operating system. As I said in my original post I like the OS but i had some concerns that i wanted to learn more about.

Ramiss, you asked how I knew what info WM accessed? You are right they don't disclose accessing any data which means to me they are not. If they did and I found out then I could take them to court but when a company discloses that they are accessing your personal data and you agree to it then you have no say in how that info is used since you gave them permission. Also I never had an app running that I didn't open or give it permission to run in the background during my years with WM.

I have the evo since Friday and I've downloaded a couple of apps where I saw the disclosure of the kind of access these apps have and I was just thinking whats the point of having the apps if you have to worry abt it accessing important info. Then I got an email from Marketplace telling me the activities of my friends on facebook marketplace. The email went further to tell me some of the activities of my friend's friends. The point is its accessing personal data I didn't give it access to, which is scary.

I came on here to ask the people that know the OS better but it seems like there are some confused people on here. So I did a little research and found the article below which basically concurs that there is a problem with apps on android accessing personal data.

http://www.computerworld.com/s/arti...apps_pose_privacy_threat_says_security_vendor

So my question is, are there preventive ways to protect against apps using personal data? Of course other than abstaining from downloading apps. Like an app that would block access to personal data or tell a person what each app accessed and did with it. Please if you can not give an educated answer then don't reply. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Actually my point was that Windows Mobile programs could easily access personal information, you just weren't aware of it. For example, try downloading a windows mobile program that handles your contacts (Pocket Informant comes to mind). Does the OS give you a warning that this new program will access your contacts? Not as far as I can remember! Whereas Android apps must disclose what they access, that is a rule from Google.

The way to protect an app from not accessing something is to not use it. This is the reason the access list is disclosed - so you have a choice not to continue.

As others have said you need to make your own decision based on the popularity of the app, the comments made and perhaps a quick Google search. Trust me, if an app is malicious there is a good chance you would know about it by reading the comments.

Edit: The end of that article you posted gives you the answer:

HI EVERY ONE!

i have HTC HD2 TAIWAN MAKE My Serieal Number is >> HT03ANW01078 recently HTC Launch UPgrade for HTC HD2 O2 Network but unfortunatly that upgration is for NON TAIWAN HAND SETS. whenever i try to enter my ROM VERSION Number which is this 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE

Htc System's says this upgrade is not available for this MAKE. any one can help me.

and MY MAJOR PROBLEM is ....MY HAND SET reception problem. in 1 MIN my dozen of Times my HAND set disconnect from O2 Network. please if there is any solution so please find out for me thanks.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
If you want so bad to try other radios in order to see if you can get better reception, you will need to install HSPL and flash several radio roms to see which one gets you the best results.

All the info you can find in the sticky threads in the HD2 > Rom Development forums section
[HD2 General] M3PH:
If the update is for rom version 1.72.xxxx WWE i wouldn't bother. It's the same as 1.66 except it's sim locked and branded. Your better off staying with what you have or if you are desperate to do an update have a look at the custom roms in the rom dev board.

Agreed but i'm on O2 right on the edge of the HSDPA area on my local mast and radio 2.11.50.20 gives me perfect HSDPA signal, brilliant call quality and reasonable battery life (2 days max without a charge on a mixed usage cycle)

I have tried the new 2.12.50.2_2 but that caused my phone to stop sending and receiving text messages properly and also caused some major issues with the rom i use (see my sig) but the signal was better allowing me to get 3G signal in the none 3G capable area a short distance down the road
[HD2 General] terchoo:
i think its for USA T-MOBILE HTC HD2

i am from UK and i have O2 HTC HD2. is this Radio software is compatible with that?

HI M3PH

i try to install new RADIO update which you gave me in your last message.

Thanks as always in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] wizern23:
i have the same issue. it said its because this version of swpe is not on the device it was for that it is operating on limited capabilities. also to note the swype installer has a limit on the amount of times you can download swype before it cuts you off.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] luminiz:
So what do you think is the best solution?

Hi,

It occurred to me that there are many programs of games. Some of these know how to play the games, solve the puzzles, suggest a clever hint, etc.

Did anyone ever combine these abilities with the phone's camera?

For example one could take a picture of the Patience cards on granny's table, and get a hint as to which card to move where.

Or use the smartphone's camera and CPU to determine if there is or isn't a legitimate set in a real-world "game of set".

Possibly even have your phone "look at a chess board in mid-play, and get a list of moves to defeat any opponent! ;-)

If there is such a software, or even a project in the making - I'd love to know about it.

[Desire General] ginux_:
Hi all developers!

One thing I have thought about for a while is, why do you upload ROMs and other files to uploading sites like Rapidshare? For me who doesn't have a Rapidshare Premium account this means a lot of waiting.

Just thinking, why not create a torrent of the files? I suppose 99% of everyone here has a torrent client, and if not, uTorrent is not that hard to install :).

This would also help the speeds alot, I would at least happily help you seed the files here on my 100/100 fibre connection.

Just some thoughts.. :o

EDIT:

Also I would like to say thanks to all you developers, you do a great job!
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
Because downloading torrents to phone would be harder than just downloading the files from a FTP or a hosting site!

Just my opinion...
[Desire General] diego4t:
i think thats a good idea!

hate rapidshare n all those sites.....most of the time i download the file on my computer anyway n then transfer it to my sd...
[Desire General] dnlgee:
This. I personally download ROM's straight to my phone, unless I can be arsed to edit them first. The wait of 40 seconds to download a file is nothing really. Plus using the author's Rapidshare accounts could actually benefit them.
[Desire General] ginux_:
Yea same here, never thought about downloading to the phone directly tbh. So much easier to do on the computer :).

Still, why not use both? The torrent would at least be a great mirror.
[Desire General] donald-c:
It would be really show for the first few people downloading the file, then a lot of people would just download the torrent and not upload anything so it would end up downloading at the upload speed of the creator :(

Plus it means a lot more uploading :P
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
QFT!

Also not all developers have huge upload speed :)
[Desire General] mercianary:
why not create a DC++ hub?

those were the days...
[Desire General] ginux_:
Well thats just bad behaviour by the leechers then...

The good thing with torrents is that the developer don't have to seed at all, just provide the .torrent. Then someone who downloaded it elsewhere can seed it for him (or her.. :P ). Like I said, I can provide 100 mbit/s up speed at my home and I am sure a lot of other users here would help out too :)
[Desire General] dnlgee:
To be fair, it's a lot of hassle for developers to set it up on a tracker to just get downloads.

File hosts like RapidShare and MediaFire etc, you're always going to get a good download speed so what difference does waiting 30-40 seconds make?
