My machine suddenly can't load load any theme from TODAY, it remians as the default blue screen. Is it that I deleted something which helps to load the chosen theme? I believe a hard reset should solve the problem, but it is going to be tedious to put all the programmes and personalisation back, can any guru help?
P/S. I was meddling with mermaid's process and start-up termination sometime ago. I suspected something to do with this.

Knowing better not to mess with something that's working, I went into memaid and did some cleaning to remove those programs that didn't uninstall correctly. Now I am missing half of the stuff on my Today screen such as messenger, screen lock, pocket weather, etc. If I go into the Settings/Todays/Item, the items that used to be there are mostly gone. But for some reason they still show up in memaid as valid item on today screen.
Anybody know how I can restore these missing items?
Thanks much...
Upon further examination, it appears all the plugins on today screen are still within the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS\
Each entry does show ACTIVE=1. It's as if Today screen is not picking up these plugins.
HELP!!!
I have heard that MEMAID has done this before - possibly removed important notification.
If I was you would reinstall missing today items and all should be well
Except there are a few items that's part of the system, specifically device lock. Any idea how I can reinstall those?
Thanks again.
Oops sorry no idea, if the reg entries are there they should appear. Have you tried uninstalling memaid and any other today screen plugin you have recently installed = otherwise looks like hard reset time!
Backup and hard reset
is the logical thing to reinstall these items, then restore. That might get everything back, but you might instead think this is an opportunity to do a hard reset and build a clean system up from scratch.
I was saving the hard reset as the last resort. Last time it literally took me 4 hours to install everything back.
But it looks like I'll end up doing that, unless if anybody else has some good suggestions...
I've noticed that when I add or remove a today screen plugin, the change doesn't take effect until I soft reset. I don't believe this is normal and its caused by some app or tweak I have done.
I have tried using Mortscript to force a refresh as well a freeware app called TodayRefreshCmd, but nothing seems to work short of a soft reset. I have removed all today plugins, rebooted and tried to add one like "Owner Info" and it won't show up either.
Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?
Yes Iam experiencing it. I am using a black majik rom but this did not happen before, i upgraded to black satin and now back to black majik, and later i tried to play around with the different kaiser home plug ins and now i notice whenever i try to change a background image on the today screen or any plug ins to on and off the change doesn't reflect instantly like it did before unless you do a soft reset.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
I restored a previous backup and the problem was not there. I was using an app called HTCustom that Shadomite created for another HTC device that did different hacks for. I think that was the culprit.
If you installed any similar "Hacks" app then it may be the cause.
i had the same problem when x-button 1.5 was installed
the min i removed it big boost in system performance
Whats up guys
I have a problem with my phone with certain software, and I'm trying to figure out why. I cannot run a scheduled program and have it keep working. For example, I can run notiweather and it will work and change the wallpaper for s2u2, but it won't do it again, even though its scheduled every hour. A soft reset scheduler will also not work, along with a random boot screen changer.
I reinstalled mortscript but still am getting nowhere. What else could be the problem?
I am running UL with batterystatus, s2u2 and a few more today plugins.

Start by checking your power settings under you system settings. I have known devices that when the power setting is set to Power off instead of suspend then routine programs won't run. If that doesn't work check your batterstatus settings. It sometimes can be the cause. I would recommend if these 2 do not work remove everything like it from startup and see if your scheduled updates work. If it does, manually start 1 program at a time and see if it continues to function. when it finally doesn't you probably have located your conflict and need to check it out more thoroughly.

I am experiencing a rather frustrating problem here. When I change the volume in HTC's audiomanager, it appears a grey column on the left side of the screen (see pic) instead of the green overlay in the middle of the screen as it should be.
What is the problem here and how can I solve this? IMHO, there is a PNG missing. But where do I find that PNG and where should that be stored on my device?
I just found another user with the same problem

It seems that by installing A_Brians WM6.5 Taskbar gfreek edition, I did change HTCVolumeControl.dll.
I will try to change it back to the original DLL.
OK, I have reinstalled the original DLL from the ROM using SKTools, after changing HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\OverlayUI from 0 to 1 the grey column has disappeared, but the overlay stays also disapeared.
I'm having the same problem. I think it has something to do with the custom taskbar you have installed. I installed a custom taskbar myself and it caused my music volume graphic to disappear too. I beleive it has something to do with HTCVolumeControl.dll which has been changed. I re-installed it but it made no difference. If anyone has a solution to this, it would be much appreciated.
Happy New Year!!
*EDIT* Snap! It looks like you found the problem at exactly the same time I posted this. Spooky!!!! If you find a solution to the problem, please post it here. Thanks.
Well I simply gave up after long horus of REG tweaking and changing files from the ROM and from the internet to get it back.
I hard resetted the Phone yesterday and voila, the volume overlay is back. It's an awfully dirty procedure, because I spent half of the night and a few hours today to get all Programs and Settings back. Unfortunately I had only backed up the whole system (including that overlay problem), so the backup was not very helpful at all.
I remember reading, I think its to do with that taskbar you have installed, I had it and had the same problem, now I dont (hard resetted) and my music bar is sorted
I uninstalled the taskbar. No change.
Then I tried to get HTCVolumeControl.DLL back from ROM, no change.
I treid to install a HTCVolumeControl.DLL from the Internet, no change. Well, there was a change here. I had WM Volume control suddenly. You know, the black and white control bars at the top right corner we all remeber from WM5.
Then I gave up.
I am stuck on a problem. When I flash a ROM that I have cooked I am getting a popup right when the ROM loads the first time asking me to select the timezone. It would not be that big of an issue but it causes havoc on occasion with the startup customization and/or UC. It can cause these to hang. A soft reset usually clears the issue but it is an annoyance. The ROM I am working on is a 21898 build with Manila 2.1 built for the Tilt2.
Anyone know what package is causing this popup and/or how to disable it?
Thanks

I think its oobe.
so... whats so oobe?
In one of NRG's threads, there's a link to a thread on welcome.exe. If this is occuring because of the welcome screen, there are reg entries in welcome that you can change to keep the time zone page from appearing (as well as other stuff, like email setup). If it's an htc bug, I can't help you.
I used to have customization freeze up on me all the time near the end. Another 'customization will start in 3 seconds' window would pop up, and it was all over at that point. I first just put my .tsk at the end of the queue, so if that got messed up, it was no big deal. But I found that removing sdautorun/UC from customization fixed everything (I don't used UC, anyway). Now, I end customization with sk tools backup popping up; I restore my pim data and then sk tools soft resets. It's pretty dang sweet, lol (not that it has anything to do with your issue).
