URGENT - Help needed Re: default browser - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I installed Opera and said yes to the change default browser to Opera.
I have another application which used to open IE and send it a URL, it is now broken and i need it to work again! How can i change back the default browser to be IE?
Also i tried to unistall Opera. It failed and is still there, but the entry no longer appears in the remove programs list! How can i get it unistalled?
Thanks in advance for all help!

Found a way to fix this myself, but not until after i had to call off the demo i was scheduled to do.

Mail-Settings ?? grr

Hi there,
I use PocketOutlook to check my e-mails via GPRS.
Everything is fine but I cannot change anything within the Settings.
For example:
- Where can I set the mail-length ??
- Where can I set the 'time-to-live' mail filter ??
- How can I download the complete mail if I want to read the rest of the text?
- Is pocketOutlook some kind of stupid programm which things its nice hide every interesting setting???
I found nearly every answer to my question in registry. But when I change the values nothing happens because P-Outlook sets everything back to default when it starts.
Why should a programmer save options to the registry when everything seems to be hard-coded?
Well well...
McNugget
ps. what kind of alternative mail-programm do you use?

[new release] VJSlippyPalm - Toggles Palm Messaging

VJSlippyPalm
Guys, a quick app:
see here for the Palm Messaging App
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280256
Once installed, you lose some access to the normal inbox, which you may still want.
Using VJSlippyPalm, you can assign the app to a hardware key.
Running VJSlippyPalm will then launch the Palm Messaging app.
However, pressing it again will close Messaging and instead switch to the normal Inbox. And vice versa.
If you have one of the apps already launched in the background, it will jump to that app (eg if Inbox is open, and you're on the Today screen, it will jump to Inbox)
By default it will close the other app.
You can launch it with a command line -min to minimise instead, for whatever reasons.
-about will show information about the app.
Download from my website.

PS: please note, this is not an app to uninstall the Palm Messaging App. It just switches between the different screens. Backup your system before installing Palm Messaging!
lol...well, that was fast!
Will give it a shot now...thanks.
Very nice, although I get a slow screen redraw between Messaging and Outlook E-Mail. Any ideas? On a i-mate JASJAM.
Okay this probably has something to do with Messaging closing, rather than minimising.
I understand creating a shortcut with "-min", but how to assign this shortcut to the Messaging hard key?
hmmm... i installed the palm messaging app and did the registry. i lost the sms/mms on inbox. is using this software will bring the sms/mms in the inbox or will this just switch between the two?
beatrix - it's nothing sophisticated, it just switches between the normal inbox and the palm app. It won't modify registry or fix anything that's already been broken
To assign the -min version to a hardware key, go into your start menu, find the existing shortcut to VJSlippyPalm, copy it, paste it, and then edit the copy. You want to amend the shortcut to just say
"....blah blah\vjslippypalm.exe" -min
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rename the shortcut to VJSlippyPalm Min.lnk
And then launch that in the normal way from Settings > Buttons.

Legend, thanks!
What is the difference between the Palm threaded app in that link above (that was removed) and the one here on freewareppc.com?

That one is the triangle powers .Net app. It's not integrated nicely like the Palm version and was very buggy when I tried it and very slow to load.
cant install cab from site on phone
hey, i tried dling the cab from your site directly from my phone, but it just brought me to a webpage with a whole lot of source code and stuff.
Seems ok to me:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjslippypalm/vjslippypalm.cab
paste it in to your browser, should work.
V
hey, tried it again and it still didnt work. tried in pie and opera.
Weststar - I didn't know you were using your PDA to browse. I could attach it as an attachment, but I don't like doing that as I like to update the cabs on my website as I develop them - attaching it will cause a static link of course. Could you use your PC to download instead? Worst case I'll attach.
V
well im at school right now, so i cant do it on my computer. but whatever works out for you is fine with me =)
do you /anybody know if the Palm's thread messaging implies all the SMS will go from the default inbox to the Palm's own database? i.e. if you open the default mail application, will it still be able to read all old sms.
to Zenkins:
I'm guessing you already have your answer by now, but to you or in case anyone else wonders, after install your SMS will NOT go to the old messaging database. I assure you this minor drawback is not worth passing the Palm threaded messaging app up though. It works beautifully! The lack of threading was my biggest and only serious complaint about my CHT-9000 (Hermes/TyTN/8525) since leaving my Treo 600. I use SPB backup to backup the databases daily in any case so for me at least, it's a non-issue.
Err, just realized I misread... I'm pretty sure the install killed my old SMS database. I'm not 100% certain I did have anything in it since I had just flashed the ROM and started fresh, but I'm pretty sure i did.
I don't understand. Which install killed your db?
VJSlippyPalm certainly shouldn't, it doesn't touch any databases, and AFAIK the Palm app shouldn't destroy it either, hence the use of VJSlippyPalm to switch between the two apps, which can co-exist well. However, I don't use the Palm app so can't say definitively.
V
thanks, I have figured that the old SMS will be lost. in anycase, I tried installing the palm messaging, it hung on me when I try to compose the message, or if it manage to compose and send, it goes straight into the sentbox, but the message doesn't get send out at all.
any idea?
Really no idea, as I said, I don't use it. Try googling for VJSlippyPalm and it'll take you to the another website that packaged up the Palm app. They've discussed bugs etc there.

Help needed on software issues

1) I’m using SPB Pocket Plus, Phone Suite & Diary. Will SPB shell take up more footprint den this combination? (dun wanna have a laggy device).
2) When an email comes in & I tap on the ‘notification’ softkey, I’ll get an error msg – “An error has occurred with shell32.exe”. I’ve sent my TP2 back to HTC for firmware upgrade, but the problem still exists.
3) When a sms comes in, I have to manually go into the sms & go thru it, then it’ll be cleared & not reflect as an “unread sms”. Clicking on the ‘sms notification’ icon on my SPB phone suite, will open up the history of all the sms-es but I still have to go thru it just to clear the unread notice. Is there any short cuts/ registry tweaks to clear the unread notice without having to open up every single unread sms?
4) I cannot copy text inside my sms. I’ve to enable “select text” before I can copy text. Is there any registry tweak I can do to make it permanent? Cos its very troublesome having to enable "select text" each time.
5) I can’t copy text in my msn, any way to go abt it?
6) Does speedbooster work to speed up the switching of the screen & overall speed of applications?
7) I cannot see “tmail.exe” on my task manager, how do I go abt finding it? Read that there's a need to disable tmail.exe before restoring sms using pimbackup to avoid “mass grouping” of my sms-es. Currently it is all grouped by the contact and me, the contact all above and mine all below, its very disrupting.
8) There’s a ‘re-sizing’ tool for Opera which will automtically “re-size the input box to fit the screen. Have tried Opera Form Fixer, but it doesn’t work… Even with the manual method prescribed in the xda link.
Anyone knows of other programs with the same function?
Greatly appreciate everyone's advise to help me with them.
Upz for help needed.

Hi Canjoy,
Sorry for not being able to help on any of your questions and responding with a question of my own!
Are you using Pocket Plus with WM6.5 from HTC installed? I ask that question because I'm using a cooked 6.5 ROM on my Blackstone with Pocket Plus. However, all of the File Explorer extensions are broken and I was wondering whether you had that problem on your Rhodium.
SPB won't respond to queries regarding cooked ROMS so it would be helpful to know if the problem exists on a stock HTC ROM.
Thanks for your help.
Steve
Hi,
Cos I'm not on WM6.5, so can't really help you on that too. So sorry.

Wierd Browsing Issue/ Internet Issue

So I go to open up my browser this morning on TF3D and for some reason it defaults to IE. Not only that I get a pop up saying that "cannot connect". It says cannot connect with current connection settings. What? First of all I want to default to Opera. Second, IE is not working? I have to go into programs and open Opera now. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Install these cabs. You will need to soft reset after installing.
opera 9.5
Same thing is happening to me..i'd like to know what is making it occur. A hard reset brings it back to normal, but it only lasts less than a day for me.

How to make WM lockscreen go to messaging, instead of slideview?

E.g. When you type the password, and press the messaging button it would normally go to WM messages.
How to disassociate the lockscreen going to slideview? Anyone know?

same problem
when i use to go to message it goes to slide view
somebody help
Hello!
I searched in the Registry and I found an Entry there perhaps is interessting.
Search HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Notification
here you see the buttons in the Lockscreen.
in SMS you see an Reg-Entry "Application Command Line". When you open this, you see the Entry for SlideView.
Perhaps, you can edit this for the ms sms prog
With best reguards
test this
this cab file may solve this problem
test it and tell me about its result
Hello,
I'd tested it, but for me, it doesn't work.
With best reguards
In:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Lockscreen\Notification\SMS\Application Command Line
write:
tmail.exe -service "SMS"
and, after touching and then sliding the lockscreen, the X2 will open the Inbox.
Thanks, it works.
Do you know the command to go directly to the new Message?
I dont know.
And today, after opening slideview because a missed call, the value of "application command line" changed and now is the same as the original (it opens slideview because an sms)!!!!!!!!!

None of the method works Permanently
the time You soft reset or re-start the device, the phone itself reset the registery to the default i.e. to 'slideview'.
