Mobile 6 & 6.1 applications , themes, problems and ideas

[PURESKILLZZZ]

Mobile 6 & 6.1 - The whole story.

I am trying to put together this one super thread of applications that we like and dislike , the problems and advantages of them. As people add to the list I will add them to the first set of posts so as to make reading a lot easier once the thread grows. The first posts will also have the post # that it refers to, to also help in easier reading for others.

I will personally try to test as much software as possible if not every piece thats questioned about. The phone I am using is the t-mobile wing until I get my hands on a few other phones.

Please no flaming as I am sure tons of noobs will be drawn to this thread. All I ask is if you cant read the first page then leave, because you know people are going to flame you no matter what.

So there you have it people one thread to ask complain and say what you feel about any aspect of mobile 6 & 6.1.

PURESKILLZZZ thanks for the reply.
its just the first post leads me to an open touch release and the part thats relevant isnt very clear(about mms setup).as far as deleting arcsoft from the registry gos.


the second is very helpful but the fact that im uncomfortable deleting registry values that aren't specicific cancels it out.

any help and the diligent yet apprehensive reader of this great forum that gets made fun of by his wife for staring at the screen to read so much usefull info would be greatly appreciated!


The MMS walk through for non-working MMS. ( Originally by ndiguy5 )

1.) Remove MMS from the registry.

2.) Registry: HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA

3.) Now install Arcsoft_MMS_4281 to install MMS back to phone.

4.) Install network wizard, if you have it already installed skip this and goto the next step.

5.) Now use the network wizard to set up your settings.

6.) It should ask you to soft-reset.

7.) Now you should have a working MMS. If any problems post and I will try to assist you.

UltimateLaunch description

UltimateLaunch is a powerful plugin for the Windows Mobile today-screen. It provides as many tabs as you like, where you can place other today-plugins and icons to start programs. Switching between tabs can be performed in a modern way with your fingers, by sliding in the desired direction. The switching process will be animated. Almost everything can be individually adjusted.

Here are some key features of "UltimateLaunch":

· unlimited number of tabs on the today-screen
· smooth animations of tab-switches (cube, slide, blend, turn, stripes)
· integrate other today-plugins
· nice 32Bit icons in any size, to launch applications
· (alternative normal program-icons)
· completely operatable with fingers
· application launch, by tipping on the symbols
· switch tab, by sliding left/right with the finger
· start additional programs, by sliding up/down
· display of system state (battery, time)
· many settings, for the own liking
· very friendly in the usage of memory!
· and more

Limitations:

· You can try this application, as long as you like. No restriction in the range of functions. After a while, there will be a short text in the background, when UltimateLaunch is not yet activated.

Requirements:

· Windows Mobile 5/6

Oxios Memory 1.40

Release memory on your Windows Mobile (Freeware)

Oxios Hibernate attempts to release as much memory as possible without damaging the internal state of the Windows Mobile device (Pocket PC or Smartphone).

Oxios CloseApps closes down other applications by sending "Close" messages.

Oxios Hibernate 1.40

WM_HIBERNATE is a window message that is generated by the Windows operating system and sent to an application when system resources are running low. All applications should get the message and handle it by attempting to release as many resources as possible by unloading processes, destroying windows, or freeing up as much local storage as possible without damaging the internal state of the system.

Oxios Hibernate sends WM_HIBERNATE to all applications.

Oxios CloseApps 1.40

Each process started on a Windows Mobile-based Smartphone allocates memory, which cannot be released but is automatically freed when the application process ends.

Oxios CloseApps closes down all applications by sending WM_CLOSE messages.

Info: There is no way to suppress the dialog box!

Where can i post POSITIVE feedback sos not make clutter?

You can just normally post. I saved many spots in the beginning of this thread so it wont be a big mess.

Also as it grows I will always put the post numbers next to a particular application or fix so when people read they can get all info from the first page so you don't have to read the whole thread to solve an already solved problem or read about an application.

Cooking your Splash Screen

Once again many thanks to all who helped me papamopps who is a great teacher and will have you laughing as he teaches. I am sure all his students love him for his humor. And it was his idea for me to start this whole thread here. zcink who always quietly finds his solution and will always share. Dutty for his wonderful nbhtool as his work is legendary already. Dark Simpson for his htc rom tool. And all the others who helped me learn and the noobs who got me searching for answers.

And last but surely not least ivanmmj Who started this thread and brought this to our attention. Also ttran001 who wrote the original how to, all I am doing is making it easier for people to use and supplying all the files.


"DOWNLOAD" (http://rapidshare.com/files/108563379/PURESKILLZZZ_-_Splash_Screen_Changer.rar)

I have included a folder named "PURESKILLZZZ Splash Screen" for you to test before doing anything at all. This folder is my splash screen that I created and tested on a t-mobile wing. I have also included my image file that I used in-case you just want to go through the process before you create your won.


1.) Download all files needed. ( I made 1 download for everything. )

2.) get the picture you want to use for your splash screen.

3.) Copy the image you would like to use into the image folder.

4.) Open up the Step 1 folder and run the Replace SplashScreen.exe file.

5.) Click on Load Bitmap from the newly opened menu (Replace Artemis SPlashScreen.

6.) Click on the Update Splash button.

7.) The PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 menu will pop up. Leave it alone.

8.) Go back to the image folder for step 1 and locate the RUU_signed.nbh file.

9.) Copy the RUU_singed.nbh and place it into the RUU_signed folder.

10.) Go back and close out both PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 and Replace Artemis SplashScreen.

11.) Now go to the step 2 folder and double click on the nbhtool.exe.

12.) This will open up Dutty's good NBH tool v1.1.

13.) Click on the Decompile NBH file button.

14.) Browse back to the RUU_singed folder and locate the new RUU_signed.nbh file.

15.) Choose the same location or the one of your choosing to save the extract files.

16.) Once completed it will extract a new file called PrimarySplash.nb, this is your new Splash replacement file.

17.) OK now goto folder step 3.

18.) Open htcrt.exe file ( this is the HTC_ROM_Tool. )

19.) The htc rom tool screen will popup.

20.) Click on the Build! button.

21.) On this screen click on the box under the Device: to select your device type.

22.) Choose Herald

23.) Type in your version of the rom, example: 4.10.0002. (Thats what I used)

24.) Click on the box Splash 1 to choose your PrimarySplash.nb file

25.) Click on the Build ROM botton.

26.) The save to screen will open

27.) Save "ruu_signed" in the folder "step 4"

28.) OK ... Now we have a nbh file in the folder ready to flash

29.) Goto folder step 4 where you can flash your splash screen.

30.) Any questions just ask........

My Setttings -> Device Information -> shows ROM version as 4.17.405.2 WWE
what should I be entering?

Previously, when my device was a boxed-product it used to display the IPL, SPL on booting up, but after upgrading using the help found here, it only shows me the htc screen and I can only check the IPL/SPL if I go to the boot loader mode. The htcrom tool shows some options on the right side. Would entering the values there provide the values for IPL/SPL on booting?

How do I select the PrimarySplash.nb file? There is no selection box available. N checkin again, I see that nothing can be edited in the boxes on the right.
EDIT: Didn't realize that those were buttons next to the text boxes, so the 3rd question is answered. The first 2 remain...

Enter the numbers as you see them . But to see if you can use them as they are flash the included splash screen . If it works you can use same number as me. for question #2 the values you want are on the bootloader screen.

The screen worked. I now have a startup screen of Optimus Prime :). The IPL/SPL however was also asking for nb files, dosen't allow to enter the values directly, so I havent tried that out. If you have an idea, do let me know.

n thanks a lot for the instructions...

some thing to wrap our brains around...

replaced cracked screen with one purchased at fonlogix. great price, arrived nicely. they were out of stock so when it came in they 2 day expressed it for me. found the service manual and with tools that were included it was a breeze, a two hour breeze, but a breeze nonetheless.
THE PROBLEM:
funny thing was that the slide keyboard has buttons that aren't working. and not like a weird symbol instead of the correct one, no, I'm talking buttons just not working. e,o,f,h,n,up directional,enter,back directional are my only functional buttons. those be them... the rest do nothing when pressed.
with the newfound confidence and familiarity i had with the inner workings of the wing i dove in, not once, but three more times to make sure the connections were all properly in place and to reapply tape and reconnect odds and ends. in the end those buttons up there are the only ones working.
after searches in any combination in i don't know how many words i came up with a wing keyboard driver error. only thing is i see no solution to this specific problems anywhere on this forum.
i will forever be a noob but I've also learned to search. this one i need help with. posted it here because I'm from the Bronx too though now i live in Brooklyn. didn't want to start a thread and risk no one seeing it.

SUGGESTIONS?

HTC Audio Manager

Sweet lovely audio player with finger friendly touch. The best replacement for Windows Media Player in my opinion. The HTC audio manager makes making ringtones effortless and has an excellent playlist manager.

I will look into it . Is that the exact correct spelling mate ?

[tarroyo]

I will look into it. Is that the exact correct spelling mate?

Yes that's the correct spelling, Its used in a lot of itje's touch it roms and its also used in duttythroy's roms, last rom I flashed that had it was itje's WM 6.1 touch it full

If I knew how to withdraw cabs from the current roms I've used I'd have it but sadly I don't know how to do that.... When I found the cab sometime ago It was named "Schaps RSS Hub" in settings/remove programs
