Hallo everyone!
I am new in the forum and new in the PDA world , my last phone that I used was Nokia 6630, and now I have Qtek 9100 , but I am still confused and hope for some help from you..
1- I was setting a ringtone for contact group, when anyone from any group calls me, I can hear a ringtone then I know that this person is from that group, is it possible to do that in my Qtek 9100 ( WM5 ) ?
2- I am using Voice Command, when I recieve a call, the woman says the number, is there any possibility to disable the Voice Command only for the recieved calls and leave it enabled for other functions ?
3- I miss some of applications that were installed in my Nokia Smartphone, like an application for changing the cm to inches or kilogramms to pounds etc.. , is there such application already installed in Wizard ? Or do I have to install it myself ? If yes, what is the name of such appliction ?
4- If I want to install an application, what is the better way, installing it in Memory card or in the Phone memory itself ? Is there any differences if I install it in MC or in the Phone itself ?
I have much more questions, but right now I am trying to figure out the rest myself..
Thanks in Advnce!
No setting for a group but you can set for each contact - in the contact fields - option for ringtone.
there is the free converterce for conversions see here http://www.freewareppc.com/calculator/converterce.shtml
Most of the time best to install to storage card to keep program memory free on the device. Although some applications like notem etc.. need to be installed on the device memory to work properly.
Thanks alot for your answer.
But what about the Microsoft Voice Command ? Can't I just disable it when I reciev a Call ? because it annoys me when the woman mentions the number, I want to disable it from that function and leave it enabled for all other functiones.
Start>Settings>Voice Command
Select Phone>Options>uncheck announce incoming calls
Thanks csterns for the answer.
new question claimed in my head.... Can I restart the phone without turning it off ? Just Restart and not turning off... Any idea how to do that ?
I appreciate any comment.
I'm not sure if you a referring to "resetting" vs "restarting". To reset the phone it does shut down and does shut down (soft reset)
To soft reset you can use this:
Or if you are not using a protective case which covers up the sides of the device then get the stylus and simply poke it in the hole just beneath the infra-red receiver on the righthand side.
Thank you all for your replies.. But I was actually meaning "Restarting" and not "resetting".
But does the "Resetting" do the same as "Restarting" does ? As much as I know, if I do the "Soft Reset" I'll loose any datas or programs that have been saved or installed before, is that right ?
And isn' there a way to only "Restart" the WM5 instead of doing a "Soft Reset" ? Like in the Windows XP for PC, if you click on "Start" then "Turn off Computer" you'll notice there is a "Restart" button.
Everything that has been mentioned so far (including the hole and the stylus) is known as a soft reset. This is exactly like restarting your Windows based PC. Nothing is lost, all your programs and data are still there. "Soft reset" is the correct terminology when talking about PDAs, not a "restart".
A hard reset is where you will lose data. A hard reset can only be performed through a combination of button presses OR by going to Start -> Settings -> System tab -> Clear Storage. Once there it will ask you to confirm you want to hard reset. There is no way you can do it accidentally unless you are really silly!
Aha, thanks Keitaro for your answer. Well that means "Restarting" in PC is the same as "Soft Reset" on PPC, what about any settings I changed, will they be back to default when I do the reset ? I mean like Volume or any settings that I changed in the WM5.

Settings such as volume etc does not get affected by a soft reset.
If you are really worried about understanding what does and does not happen during a soft reset then all you have to do is this...
1) Use your backup program to perform a FULL backup and store the image somewhere other than the device itself, eg storage card. This is only so you can be safe that you go back to where you started if goes wrong. However, I can guarantee you that nothing bad will happen so you won't even need this backup file but do for your piece of mind...
2) Make some random changes, eg volume, today theme, ringtone, documents.
3) Perform a soft reset
4) Check all the changes you just made before the soft reset and you will see that they are all the same as before - nothing has changed
5) Delete the backup because it's not needed
Actually...if you've made any recent (last 30 seconds or so) changes to the registry and then do a 'reset button' soft reset those registry changes may be lost. However this problem doesn't exist for the 'hold standby button down for 3 seconds' soft reset. However, I doubt that you are doing any registry changes right now just remember this for the future.

If he's only just beginning to understand the difference between a hard and soft reset, and what each do and don't do, then he'd better hope he's not fugging about with the registry!
Thanks too much, Keitaro, for this great post.
And I appreciate Cardcaptor_RLH85's post too..
Well to be honest, I knew about "Hard Reset" and "soft reset" before, but what I was fearing is loosing datas and settings after the soft reset, I really didn't know that Restart = Soft Reset, I thought "Soft Reset is usefull when a programm hangs or a problem shows up and I never know that it is exactly the same as Restart for PC.
About Registry Edit, yes I still didn't change anything in Registry, well only 3 days is this baby in my hands.. But I have read here in this forum much about editing the Registry to solve some problems and issues, I really don't fear the editing, because I did this many times in my PC I don't think PPC is more complicated than a PC.
Thanks for you all.
I have an O2 xda Neo (PM300) running Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC.
All of a sudden I noticed I no longer receive notifications or reminders of appointments or tasks on my "today" page nor any audible sounds. Even though I have:
1. Enabled sounds for reminders in "sounds & Notifications"
2.checked the "display message on screen" and "play sound" boxes in the "notifications" submenu
3.Checked the "set reminders for new items" box in the "appointments" sub menu in "options" in "calendar" (and done the same for "tasks"
My clock is correct. I have soft reset the unit a few times, I have set sample appt's and tasks and attempted to set a reminder for 5 minutes prior just to test and still nothing...
It was working fine upto maybe a couple weeks ago and just stopped working one day. I am at a loss, as the sheduling/task/appoitntment aspect is the main reason for me going the pocket pc route.
Now, I have no advance warning of tasks or appt's other than the calendar displaying the next few or so the day of or day before.
Very frustrating!
Look for Check Notifications ScaryBear Software. This program might be you solution
I had the same problem this week.
In my case it was either the (failed) installation of pocket clock or pocket max phone alarm that did it.
I loaded a previous week's sprite back-up (program part only) and that fixed the problem. I have not tried to reinstall pocket max phone alarm.
Will not reinstall pocket clock because that did not work anyways.

I sync'd my data, did a hard memory reset, deleted that ActiveSync partnership,created a new partnership, sync'd all my data back onto my handheld and it seems to be working again!
Thanks for your suggestions!

I have exactly the same problem - but unfortunately cannot remember when it showed up the first time. I do not want to try a hard reset, also checking pocketmax seems that they only advise to do a lot of reinstallations. And I worry the problem will show up again later as I want to continue using phone alarm. I rather would like to change registry entries.
- Anybody has some idea what to change?
- I found an empty string value WAVEFILE in HKKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\calendar\reminder - can anybody tell me their value here
- same empty value is in HKKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tasks\reminder
Thanks Hase01
I had the exact same problem 2 weeks ago on my JAMin - suddenly noticed that I had not been receiving reminders/notifications.
I had not installed any new software, etc., to cause this, I had simply been using the PDA in the same manner as for the preceeding weeks/months.
Hase01, unfortunately the way I fixed it was with a hard reset. Why do you not want to try this? I found that once the reset had been done, it took all of 5-10 minutes to reload all the files and to reinstall the software I had previously been running. It's not that big a deal......

I am not a friend of hard resets, that's why I am hesitating. And I am not sure how far I have to go back, as I was in vacation for some time and only afterwards started missing the reminders.
Could you do me a favor and let me know your registry settings for
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Sounds
- HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Defaults
Do you use phone alarm?
Thanks in advance

Just download my Free Task Manager found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280104
1) Launch it on your pocket pc
2) Select Notifications tab
3) First try to remove duplicates
4) Try to remove SCRIPT:0x000...
If it still doesn't work, select all of them and disable them.
Do a soft reset and create a new notification, if it works, I suggest you to enable only the necessary notifications, so those like:
CALENDAR.EXE
\Windows\calupd.exe
replog.exe
calnot.exe
clocknot.exe
and delete all [none] notifications
Cheers,

Glad to hear that... Anyway, this is another solution that works.
One of my colleagues had the same problem, about 570 notifications. We tried first to remove duplicates and SCRIP:0x000 events, but the problem remained.
After the remove he still had more than 400 notifications. So I selected them all and disabled them via TM. After soft reset we created a test notification and it worked. So as I mentioned in my previous post, we enabled back the needed notifications and we removed the rest. Now everything is fine.
I have noticed that most of the time, this problem appears when you synchronize your calendar with multiple pc's.

The smart thing with the alarmtoday solution was that I did not need to take care about notifications, deletions etc. I just installed AT and all notifications came back. And btw, I usually sync only with one PC, seem to be a WM5 problem.

Dotfred, could you help me.
I was not lucky - while replying to this post the problem came back again after 3 months. My Alarm today fix did not work again. Before I tried your task manager I checked my notification queue with sk-Tools: I don't have too many notifications. So - any Idea what I can do instead.
Thanks Hase

I was almost in my bed!
1) Try to disable all notifications (don't worry, they are stored in the registry, so you won't lose any of them, except if you do a hard reset, or delete the reg entries).
2) Soft reset and make a test
3) if it works, just enable the notifications as mentioned in my first post until the problem is back (or not).

Thanks for late night reply - I am living in the same time zone btw
May be I have to install your task manager, sk-tools is not able to disable notifications, only delete is possible. Do you think this might help, I won't be able to install you tm before the weekend? I don't have duplicate entries and no SCRIPT:0x000.. entries.

By disabling all entries, it's like cleaning the notifications database. So it will surely solve your problem (temporary anyway).

I tried to use you TM on my WM2003 SE ppc as I always do before I run a new program on my Qtek S200 (it's nearly impossible to deinstall a program only manual deletion of all files works). Unfortunately it does not run on my IPAQ. It starts but dies after 0.5 secs. Did you ever had this problem?

You're not the first one telling me this. I don't know why it doesn't work on IPAQ with WM2003SE.
But, you can launch it on your Qtek s200 without any doubt. I already tested it myself on Qtek 2020, 9090, 9100, Mitac Scoter A701 and HTC P3600 without any problem found.

I got the notifications back. I think it was basically repaired by installing alarmtoday again from backup. I think the problem could have been caused by the new sktools version. Strange.
B.t.w. do you need a beta tester for oyur TM on IPAQ. Then just sent me a pm
Hase
Ok. I have the same problem recently.. unsure what is the problem, but it seems that softreset *cause* (not solve) the problem, some what.. during my testing.
Anyway, I tried a few solutions listed, and the easy one is to use the TaskManager (freeware) to find the notification with 'Status' is in 'signalled'. These are passed notifications and it seems that these are causing the problem. As soon as I've removed them, the problem seems to have solved.
Then, I tested it again, by removing the 'Init_tray' from the startup and do a softreset. I tried it again, and it doesn't work. I check again on Task Manager, those 'signalled' stuff are back.
I applied all of the stuff mentioned by royalbloodvi in another thread here:
[Solution] MUST-HAVE For X2 Users! Speed Tweaks & How to Disable "Slideview" & Panels
So anybody, that finds those tips useful enough for him, should go with those. My problem was, that even when I applied all of the stuff, phone was still laggy, had some SOD's, sometimes turned off by itself etc. Since there is still no official note from SE about MR2, I was desperately looking for an answer. Creation of X2 subforum made my search easier, after browsing some topics, I gathered all the info, and to make it easier for you, I exposed it in this topic.
All the credits go to the topic starters in here, once again, I just gathered and compiled the info:
Xperia X2: How to change language (re-flash an Stock Spanish ROM), dreamcrawler for translation and originating tips, gbajzelj for the final idea and ultrashot and lollylost100 that provided the X2 software cabs.
***********************************
Procedure:
1) Open SEUS (SonyEricsson Update Service), start a new update. EVEN IF IT SAYS YOU HAVE LATEST VERS, UPDATE IT ANYWAY.
Another version: click on Start/Settings/System/Clear phone memory, enter all the needed info. It will put phone back into original state (MR1 - since you updated your phone to that version)
2) ONCE IT REBOOTS, CALIBRATION SCREEN APPEARS. RIGHT AFTER CLICKING ON THE CROSSES, IT WILL APPEAR THE SONY ERICSSON LOGO, AND IT WILL START APPLYING THE CABS. PUSH THE RESET RIGHT after it starts applying (hidden behind the stilus, opening the battery cover).
3) After rebooting, the Sony Logo will appear again asking to retry. Press NO. Well by default this will keep on showing up every time you restart the phone, and it will also reset your time & date setting to some time in March. But I found a solution for that. With registry editor of your choice, search for Launch190 (HKLM\init\Launch190\CustAppInstaller.exe). Delete that value, and phone won't ask you again if you want to retry the CABS instalation, also it won't change your Time & Date setting again!!
IMPORTANT: After that, phone returns to original WIN 6.5.2 state, without BUGGY SE stuff. At that point, phone is usable, stable and fast. You will have about 220 MB of free space on your phone.
Now you can go further by installing some of the SE stuff, but this is all up to you, since I don't exactly know, which one causes the problems (except for SlideView and TileWave panel, as was stated in some other posts). Grab the X2 Program cab's here: R1BA023_Original_Cabs
Put the extracted cabs on your SD card, insert it into the phone, and install stuff you want. I installed those packages:
SEMCFlashDeployment.cab
SonyEricssonDialer_1.1.0.996_vulcan_generic.cab -> New Vulcan Dialer
TaskManagerSetup.cab -> Task Manager, obviously
Camera_R109_RC1_38986.cab -> necessary for Camera
CommManagerCab.cab -> Communication Manager
FastGPSSetup.cab -> without this GPS won't work, at least did not work in my case
JMMS_Ver4.5.113_26Feb10_SE_PPC.cab -> reminded by rsx19, this one is needed for MMS
After installation of those, restart the phone. At that point around 200 MB of storage space is left, and around 120 - 130 MB of ram left. Although, it is not necessary to install all of those cabs (except for Camera, which I think is needed, unless you don't want to use camera ), it is all up to you.
Also, since you requested, I'll put down some of the cabs that are needed for different settings. But keep in mind, I am not sure if anyone of those cabs make any troubles or instability. So If you find any trouble or instability after some cab was installed, let us know and together we might find some useful solution.
Ok, to install some of the aditional setting in Setting menu, first install MyCPLSetup.cab, as I discovered, this one is neccessary for following CABS for various settings:
MobileData.cab -> for mobile data settings (HSDPA, ..)
ClearStorage.cab -> installs Clean Phone Memory
PhoneSettings.cab -> updates the Phone in Settings/Personal
SetupSNM.cab -> installs new Sounds & Notifications under Settings/Personal..
For the Illumination to work, install those 2 cabs:
IlluminationSvc.cab
PatternsSetup.cab -> SE Illumination Patterns, don't forget to restart phone after you install those two, and go back to Sounds & Notifications to set the illumination for various events.
After you install those cabs (not necessary to install them all, it's up to you) restart the phone and options will show up in Settings or desired category.
Don't forget, when you finish with installation of cabs, do a restart / soft reset of the phone, since some changes may not show until a restart / soft reset is done!
Using the phone with Windows Default theme, it runs smooth. Also battery life so far seems to be improved, but will have to run it few more days to tell the difference.
So far, my phone is lightspeed fast and, which is more important - stable!! You can now also try to apply settings, royalbloodvi provided in this thread - maybe you get even better performance:
[Solution] MUST-HAVE For X2 Users! Speed Tweaks & How to Disable "Slideview" & Panels
Ok, some are still having problems with SD cards being unrecognized or disappearing, here is the patch: SD Card Fix
Accelerometer based rotation:
If you loose the rotation during the setup of CABS, and you still want to use it, this is how you turn it back on: with registry editor open (HKLM\Services\MultiService\mods\Rotation\AccelBasedRotationEnabled). If your rotation is gone, this key has the 0 value. Change it to 1 and you get your accel based rotation back. I have yet to find out, which cab disables it!
I'd like that you people give feedback in here, which CABs are safe and needed to install apart from those I (originally gbajzelj) posted.
PS
I personally don't like the idea of stripping the phone down to the bone to make it work. If you buy a new car, it works as it was send out of the factory..you don't need to unscrew half of the engine, disable the steering, take out the seets to make it work. Same is with computers, just everything. But until MR2 comes out and hopefully repairs all the damage that was done with MR1, this is the solution for me.
Also thanks to everyone helping to make this phone less bugy and somehow usable

Hm, I tried and my GPS was also unresponsive, so I installed FastGPS and it helped!
its gbajzelj not gbanzelj ) np.
When i installed spb 3.5.3 and reloded weather info then when i turned off the phone and turned it on again the weather data was not saved and the wireless or data conscction did connect but did not load no new data from weather server. Skyfire did load the pages (the connection i guess did work) but spb shell did not load the weather data anymore.
i would also like if anione can make the camera button to open the camera app withouth the slideview. maybe a simple cab file just to set the camera button.
Sorry for typo
Does it ask you every time you restart the phone if you want to continue with setup?
If it does, did you notice that it resets the date? Thats a problem I'm trying to solve now Every time my phone restarts, date is set to 17. March -> maybe thats why your weather data is not reloaded??
For me, when I press the Camera button it opens the CameraApp. I installed only Camera Cab as you sugested, no SlideView, and it works!
Nice! This works perfect in conjunction with my other thread!
I have one question though for battery life issues: Which cab do I install to be able to turn off HSDPA? I've tried installing mobiledata cab but it doesnt show up..

It think you have to install MobileData.cab & MyCPLSetup.cab
And one question for you all, does phone ask you to continue with CAB installation every time when you restart it? And resets the date?

1) Settings -> Connections -> Mobile Data -> HSDPA Disable
2) Yes, it always asks to retry installing the CAB PLUS resets the date PLUS time all the time.
Just noticed it the time & date bug, this really bothers me =S
I just realised a lot of the cabs like clearphonememory cab doesnt show up in the start menu like mobiledata..

About the Time & Date bug, I think every time the phone starts as after I made MR1 update...so we must somehow find what is telling the phone that the software is not installed (if we trick the phone that is was fully updated and will not ask for retry at startup, this date & time bug will probably go away) - solution found, check first post
About missing things in Settings, I think it is all connected with MyCPLSetup.cab solution found, check first post
ok so the ACCELEROMETER WAS WORKING when i reset the phone, but once i installed everything you listed, auto rotate stopped working. what can i do to get it back? i really dont want to go back through the process again
Also which cab is 'sounds and notification' the one i have now doesnt have as many settings as before, and also which cab is for the optical pad.

You don't need to reinstall, just check the first post, I updated it with solution for that - you just have to change one registry setting!
For Sound & Notification settings install SetupSNM.cab! For the Optical I have yet to find out, I'm doing my best, but can't be that fast I guess I did about 10 reinstalls and about 100 restarts of the phone today
awesome, do you know which one is auto time update

You mean the Timezone tab in Phone settings? When it automaticly changes time due to time zone change?
In this case it would be:
TimezoneSvcSetup.cab
well like, before there was a auto time update check box, now i cannot find it, and ill install the right now and hopefully your right :]
EDIT, i still do not see auto time update
also does the SetupSNM.cab also include everything needed for the lights?
EDIT ALSO, add to your list since i assume most people use mms JMMS_Ver4.5.113_26Feb10_SE_PPC.cab for mms

well like, before there was a auto time update check box, now i cannot find it, and ill install the right now and hopefully your right :]
EDIT, i still do not see auto time update
also does the SetupSNM.cab also include everything needed for the lights?
EDIT ALSO, add to your list since i assume most people use mms JMMS_Ver4.5.113_26Feb10_SE_PPC.cab for mms

Maybe you know where that Auto Time Update setting was? And if you restarted the phone, after installation?
For the Illumination, check first post
Thanks for the reminder on MMS, will add it now!
For the settingspart1 & 2, I have to check don't know yet
thankss a soft reset helped, and idk what settings1/2 do either
as for the sd card fix, it is needed, because my sd card went missing and when i went into the registry to fix it it was just like before and had to change the values to '0'

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend]
"shc1:"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming]
"shc1:"=dword:00000000

Did you went back to the Sounds & Notifications and selected vibration? Becouse at the moment, only cabs I have installed are:
MYCPLSetup, SetupSNM, IlluminatonSVC and PatternsSetup, and illumination & vibration works for me. Or do a soft reset again, it might help.

Hm, don't know what your are your signal conditions with other phones, mine has a good signal and it does not matter, what I install..
illuminations work and all the settings are set, but still no vibe.
Hi , need you're help about that thing ' there are tow dates instead of one , how can i fix this ?
iv attached a photo of the problem i have
How many threads are going to make for the same problem?
haven't you already asked about this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744662
obviously we haven't come up with a solution yet. Have you called htc or your carrier to see if they have an idea?
YES

yes i did asked about it but i haven't got any solution so i am asking here , i called my carrier and they didn't have any solutions to my problem , its so frustrating
i'd be asking for a replacement then, unless it isn't that big of a deal to you. I don't think I even have date and time enabled on my pics.
How do you do it?
have you tried turning the timestamp off in camera settings?
YES

yes , i did it , but i want the time stamp on my pictures .
my (wild) guess is that maybe somewhere in registry there are two independent entries responsible for putting date on a photo, and both marked 'on'
so if you have time and patience, you could, try to dig a bit in following keys:
HKCU\Software\Camera,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\Camera
HLKM\Software\Camera
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\Camera
HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera
tried myself a little, but did not manage to replicate your problem...
or mayb just contact HTC web support?
Guide please

I would like to to help me on how i do what you suggested me
first I'd definitely recommend contacting HTC support here, because it is the easiest and fastest thing you could do
secondly - did you try to reflash your ROM? it may or may not help, depending on whether your problem is of hardware of software nature (don't know how is the timestamp imposed on the photo, but my bet goes to software)
- word of caution here - backup system before re-flashing or you will loose all data (see below for app list)
thirdly - toying with registry - by far the most painful/timeconsuming/frustrating way:
invest in good backup app and make full system backup before doing anything in registry,
available solutions: SPB Backup, Sprite Backup or Resco Backup - all commercial; there may be some freeware apps available of which I am not aware though
get some registry editor: CeRegEditor or TotalCmd, Dotfred's TaskMgr (all free), or Resco Explorer (commercial),
thus armed browse your registry (only the keys I listed earlier) looking for entries which names seem to be timestamp-related
when you stumble upon suspicious/promising entry try changing its value (e.g. from 1 to 0 or else) -> soft reset -> check if it worked -> rinse, repeat
if you happen to crash your system - restore it from backup, and start again
I hope the 3rd option does not look too scary, in fact it could be finished in few hours max (whether successfully or not is another story)
Thank you for you're help

I see now, that somehow the first line of my rather lengthy post dispappeared...
maybe it's obvious, but I meant to list those 3 bullets as alternatives, i.e. you don't need to dig in registry if reflashing ROM helps,
and consequently no need to reflash ROM if HTC support provides some solution
Thanks

Hello...
I have installed BSBTweaks 1.6 on my HD2, works great...
but then i recently tried adding apps to the rotated apps, and when it soft resets, the list isnt saved. I have read that this problem existed but was fixed in version 1.6
anyone else had similar problem, please guide me through, will be a great help...
thanks
PS: i tried adding office apps (word/excel) to the rotated apps list, that is what didnt work, i didnt try any other applications...
everyone...i am tired breaking my head with this for 2 days now...please help...
everything (version wise) looks fine with V 1.6 for bsbtweaks, also have framework 3.5 installed, but dont understand why the rotation isnt working...whenever i add an application to the rotation list, bsb asks for a soft reset and the application is still missing form the list when i recheck it...
please help...
hi, just had a quick google on this subject, and although i couldnt find anything specific i came across lots of posts saying it can sometimes take a short while for the registry changes to take, and if you reset immediately they can be lost, , , the upshot being to wait ten seconds or so before doing the reset (although ive never had any problems, and never heard of this delay before, so i think it very unlikely.)
Another thought that occured was try installing "CERegistry editor", run it, connect your phone, hit connection - connect and once you can see your registry, click 'tools - unlock registry'
Not sure whether its connected, but worth a try, eh?
Plus, if all else fails, you can use cereg editor to export the rotation white list key whilst you have bsb tweaks open and have applied teh rotation tweak, but before you reset, and make a cab from it, see if it works after being applied as a cab.

Thanks Sam...
I have tried waiting for a while before doing the soft reset...
I will try to uninstall the BSB Tweaks and reinstall to see if that makes any difference...if not i will have no other option but do the regedit manually...
thanks for the help though ..cheers...!
Solved
Finally able to identify the reason for why BSBTweaks was not letting me add apps to rotate...
I guess the soft reset offered by BSBTweaks was not allowing the registry entries to be saved...so i didnt choose that reset option and instead did a manual reset by the power button...and when the phone started back, it worked...
so just make sure that we should add apps to rotate and do a manual reset instead of BSBTweaks reset...
thanks
