I'm a Newbie.. to my phone. - Wing, P4350 General

I can't seem to quite figure out my phone.. I mean I have never dealt with a phone this hard! I hope someone would kindly help cause I've browsed through soooo many threads on the forum and can't quite find the answers.
Qn 1) So I downloaded the Pocket CM.cab and have my htc today screen but I was trying to set up "Favorites" and all my contacts were gone other than my MyFaves contacts... Where did all my other contacts go (they are in my sim card previously). Is there a way I could transfer my contacts from my sim to the phone for something more permanent?
Qn 2) I understand there's a ROM thing to free up some space, I can't seem to find a guide that explains how this all work.. I downloaded a zip with all the .bat files in it and had ran the .cab file.. where do I run the .bats on? My comp or the phone?
Qn3) I know, I have many questions.. The weather Icon on my Today Screen, I can only find Arlington VA, is there any way I could get a more accurate weather forecast somewhere near my city?
Qn4) I had downloaded the Total Commander and hoping to tweak some of the stuff but could someone kindly direct me to a guide?
Okay that's all the questions I have... for now.. I HOPE!!!!!
I would greatly appreciate if someone would help.
Thanks!

1. Most ROMs have SIM contacts hidden. It's a registry key. I'm at work right now so can't look it up for you, sorry.
2. A ROM with REFORMAT your phone and add a CUSTOM made firmware. Think of it as installing our version of windows over your windows. You will loose all your files that you do not back up. Flashing it can be tricky at first... There are a few walkthroughs around about it, though.
3. It depends on your version of HTCHome...
4. here

actually, i have to say my biggest question is what should i do to have my SIM card contacts transferred?

They're still there. They're just hidden. It's a registry edit.

Too many questions...

...so i put them all in one thread. .
Hello everyone.
Just got a TyTn. Quite a change from my old K800, but im sure i'll adjust.
Ive been reading around here for a few weeks now in antisipation of my TyTn arriving. So know a few things already, like the highly rated 'batti' battery app.
I have a few questions about it though that i cant find definate answers on:
- Is it possible to have custom ringtones for each contact?
- How do i close programs? As at the moment they just seem to minimise, and the only way i can find to actually close them is through the memory app in settings.
- How do i install the today screen app called 'Launcher' its not a cab file like the rest of the programs ive installed.
- Is there a today screen plugin i can use to lock the phone when i press it?
- Some of my contacts are listed as 'elliot, fred' rarther than 'fred elliot'. How do i fix that?
- Is it possible to have full screen contact images? Ive got contact images setup for a few of my contacts, but they only ever show up as a tiny icon when opening a txt (havnt tryed incoming calls yet), is there a way to make it so that when i get a txt i get the picture instead of/extra to the standard popup?
- Emoticons. How/can i put them in txt messages? (actually view them, not the pure text equilivent.).
Thanks in advance all.
Any help would be much appricated. .

Ok I tried to help, but geez dude. I think this forum may be a little advanced for you. There are plenty of other websites and forums that can help you with these questions. Before you post any more questions:
1. Read The Windows Mobile Manual
2. Learn how to use the search function
3. Spend a little more time reading
4. Read a little more.
5. Come back and post questions when you ACTUALLY have a phone. THis way you can try to figure things out on the phone before you start asking questions.
Good Luck!

Skip initial touchscreen calibration

Okay, it looks like I broke my touchscreen trying to clean the gunk around it. The display itself is fine, it's only the touchscreen part that's broken. Anyways, what I need to find out, is there any way to skip the initial touchscreen calibration after a flash or a hard reset? The calibration comes up and I can't find any way to get past it. The touchscreen doesn't respond to any touch at all so there is no way to complete it. So I am kind of at an impasse. I know there is supposed to be a registry tweak you can do to skip it, but how do you do that without custom cooking your own rom?
Did you try searching for a solution?
This same question was asked what, within the last 3 days, and I posted links to possible solutions.

theres a button u can hold to over ride it. I remember seeing it somewhere, but dont remember what it was

I did go through several pages, actually and couldn't find it. I also searched and didn't find it, though I did eventually manage to. You have to put a blank text file named "welcome.not" into the root of your minisd card.

Hi Avatar,
thank you very much. This tipp was the reason as the touchscreen on my wizard brokes, too.
But now i installed a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM on the phone and this trick didn't work more.
Have you a new tipp for me ?
I don't know how, but try to delete the "welcome.lnk" from the autostart directory. this should help to skip the touchpad calibration.
Maybe you have to cook a little bit to delete it.

JUST .cab FILES FOR THE HTC TMO WING. ALL IN ONE PLACE.

Decided to just post .cab files for the T-mobile Wing so they'll all be in one place instead of running all over the net. Feel free to add some if you like.
Some are not clear what they do from the file name:

btasp.cab (23.1 KB, 0 views) <- Use to improve sound quality on Bluetooth Stereo headsets
RC Mod v.2.1 ENG.CAB (307.9 KB, 0 views) <- Allow to change colors of menu bars, etc
Save someone a search maybe.
More
Can only post so many at one time.
Thanks!
Here are some more:
These need to unzip or install .exe files to where you want to open them
Okay not .cabs but useful files to Wing users.
how do u install most of the skin cabs? we need instructions. appreciate all the cabs though.

Skin cabs just install like other cabs. Just copy and paste thru Activesync to your Storage Card. Then run them from your phone. Soft restart and go.
Enjoy !!!!
Found some more:
Okay I took off the Directory Assistance .cab. Too many people having problems with it. Getting PMs with complaints, so I just took it off.
Two more:
If I find more I will post them.
these are all great... but is it possible to get a few descriptions??
thanks for your effort in uploading all of this cabs and zips
One note:
HTC Equalizer. After .cab install does not show up anywhere. Place this shortcut in Windows/Startmenu/Programs folder and it will.

Hi, would be happy to explain any of the cabs, do you have a question? My goal with this thread was to keep it short & sweet. Just .cabs so Wing owners would have a place to go get them. Most people are not into alot of reading.

some people don't use my favorite messages and want it off their phone -- this cab will do that -- removes my faves.
what I like about directory assistance cab is you can do a reverse lookup. If someone calls you and you have their phone number on your caller ID, plug in the number on reverse lookup and it shows you who it is.
Thanks for the quick response. I have the myfaves plan, but don't use the plugins and all the other myfaves stuff on my phone. Will this remove all the myfaves junk? And if it does, I still won't be charged for calls to and from those people, right? Hope these questions make sense.
This is a great thread, by the way. Thanks for all your work.

Hmm not sure how T-Mobile charges for my Faves. I don't have it on my plan so I wanted off my phone. Not sure answer to your question. sorry. If you have the plan I would suggest Not removing it from your phone. If you wanted to experiment you could remove them and see what happens but you may have to do a hard reset to get them back.
Thanks
Suggestion for .cab files
This is probably obvious but I'll suggest it anyway.
Once you have all the .cab files you want. Make a folder (named Cab Files) and put the folder on your micro SD Card. Except the disable delete cab.cab. Just put this one on your Storage Card and Run It First.
Then run all the .cab files from your Storage Card/Cab Files folder.
They will stay there and if you ever have to do a Hard Reset if will be really easy and quick to restore your phone the way you want it.
If you have a 4gb or 6gb micro SD card it will hardly take up any space at all.

"Diamond" Digital Clock Install Program?

It seems they are just little number files but they won''t overwrite the existing files that are in the Windows directory.
Anyway I really like the look and wonder if there is a CAB type file that will install and voila, you have the Diamond look digital clock?
Anybody know of such a program?
Or a really simple set of instructions.
I followed the instructions and I can't get it to work.
Or how about a way to get the "Diamond" Digital Clock in to S2U2?
Help... help... help...
Hi Jim,
I was actually looking for quite some time and found a diamond digital clock cab. It was here in XDA but I cant find the thread I found it in (It was in the main hacking and development thread)
I'll just repost the cab file and hope I dont get reemed out. I take NO credit for makng this file what so ever.
I had tried installing it before on my vogue and it wasnt working then I upgraded my rom to 6.1 and figured Id give it a shot and it worked. I dont know if that had anything to do with it. it SHOULD still work in WM6 I just wasnt able to get it to work for some reason.
I think you have to disable HTC home as well too before you install the cab.
Nice find!
When I try to install on 6.1 it says "Installation unsuccessful". Any thoughts?
...Nevermind. For some reason it was copying itself when I put it on the sd card and one of the files was broken.
when you have it running is the clock in h:mm:ss tt format (ie 8:04 pm) or is it in hh:mm:ss tt (08:04 pm) I cant for the life of me get the zero infront of the single digit time (anywhere from 1-9 am or pm). just really erking me thats all. I had only installed this myself last night when I saw this thread asking for it so sort of a coincidence.
Anyway.. yeah let me know how your clock works and if you had to do something to fix it. I went into the regional settings and what not and changed the time format but still didnt change anything even after a reset.
For anyone who's installed the cab I posted and had the same issues I had (the 0 infront of the time (08:43 pm) then heres a quick fix I found in the hacking/development thread in the main forum.
Just copy the file in the zip file to your new HTC Home folder on your phone. Should be /HTCHome, sp right in the phones main directory alone with my documents and program files etc. If when you copy it over to replace the exsiting HH_Home_off. png in the folder it wont work go and disable the HTC Home plugin then copy it. That worked for me. Now I finally have a normal looking clock without always having to have 4 numbers showing.

Installed great! thanx a lot.
Since I installed this I can only select Bakersfield for my weather.
Anyone know a workaround?
Also this plugin severly lags my touch, anyone else?
Thanks.
diamond clock
So does anyone know of a diamond clock that actually flips like the real diamond clock?? All the skins for HTC HC are great but i would love to find something closer to the real deal.
Actually it doesn't lag anymore, but my weather is ONLY Bakersfield.
IS that with everyone else?

I had this same issue... What I had to do was uninstall it.. use the normal HTC home and reselect my city then reload on this updated version. Aparently all you have to do is add the XML of your city somewhere in the registy... I have no idea how so if anyone knows how feel free to let us know.
Since I did the steps above I havnt gone in to "Change city" anymore and it updates my city fine

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked as you said it did. However, when I changed it from Fahrenheit to Celcius thats when it updated to Bakersfield.
I can sort of understand Fahr, but Celcius would be much nicer. I think the benefit outweighs the cost so i'll use canada + fahr . Unless you know how to fix this.

There is a cab for led notifications - do a search

Should be an option in the messaging options, i think?

Built in task manager is good, also try Arkswitch or MMTaskmanager

The second post will help with general info about your new HD2!
LED notifications don't seem to operate in the same way as all the other HTC devices for some reason! I only ever get a blinking green LED when I have a missed SMS, but nothing else. I have been unable to find anything the reproduces this... but a search will take you to a thread detailing a mod which will make the lights around the buttons blink on missed call/SMS/mail etc..
Delivery reports can be switched on - try using something like BSB Tweaks to toggle reports
Another search should let you find something called QuickMenu - which serves a number of purposes, amongst which is a simple task manager, which allows you to "kill" unwanted tasks from running - it also gives you a "classic" style Start button!
Hope these help!
Remember, MOST things can be found on here, so don't be afraid to search - you can almost guarantee you won't be the first person to ask!!!
Enjoy your new phone!!
LOL! By the time I had posted, someone else had beat me to it!! Plenty of ppl wanna help!!
cd78 - This is going to sound like a really stupid question. But what is a cab?
As to the Delivery Reports im pretty sure as im with 02 i dont get them, just wondered if there was anything i could download. Thankyou for you answers though

A .cab is basically a "cabinet" for the software/file - you download it, or drag and drop it onto your sd card (through your pc) then click it in file explorer (on the phone) and it will extract and you can select where to install the program.
Look in the themes and apps section of this forum for lots of useful things and use the search bar

Hmmm, good point about Delivery reports on O2 - I had heard that the network doesn't offer them, but I could be wrong on that count. If I'm not, that does pose a problem because if the network doesn't send anything, there is no way of the phone knowing the result of a sent text. :-(
A .CAB file is an installation file. (Short for CABinet - an old Windows term) You would transfer the CAB to your phone and run it from there to install the relevant software contained within the CAB onto your phone.
BSB Tweaks is a program which has LOADS of tweaks and mods which can be easily selected by a simple ON/OFF interface - and makes making these small mods MUCH easier than trawling through the registry for new users!

Cd78 - Thanks for the help, ill do a search in the themes and apps and see what i can come up with. With the .Cab files if i download one and put it onto my device via the windows mobile device center then do the extraction on the phone. Will that work?
namwollem - I know thats the problem im hoping if i can get the BSB tweaks the SMS sent notification will work.
As with the BSB Tweak Thread, i cant seem to find a link to download the programme. Where can i find this? And for the installation on my HD2 is it practically the same as download a .cab file? Sorry for all the questions :/ but one last one do i need to download anything to be able to install the BSB tweaks? Its just i saw on the important note at the top of the thread that .NetCF 3.5 is required. Is this true?
Apologies for all the questions, im really not too sure how to do most of these tech things on my HD2 and i dont want to do it wrong and have an expensive brick lol

bsb tweaks can be very helpful, but do not turn on the screen sensitivity or tap time tweaks or your phone screen will be inoperable while in call....
nrfitchett4 - Thanks for the advice. And the attachment of BSB Tweaks.
So to install on my phone i would need to download the attachment and transfer the .cab file to my phone via the Windows mobile device centre and then find the .cab file through the file explorer and extract it, then follow installation. Is that right? or is there an easier way?
Sorry for the really basic questions.

If you have a PC/laptop with Bluetooth, that is probably the easiest way - its the way I move files to and fro. Or if you have a card reader on your PC/laptop, you can copy all the CABs and other files you want onto your memory card, and then transfer the card into your phone, and off you go!
As for whether BSB will enable delivery reports, thats a "No" I'm afraid, it will only react to what you network send out. I do recall reading that if you prefix your text message on O2, you could get a delivery report, how true that is I don't know, but I am sure I have read it in a couple of places. I'll have a look into it for you, and come back to you!
O2 Delivery Reports
As I am not on O2 myself, I cannot check this, but apparently, the following will allow you to receive a delivery report from the O2 network.
Start a new text message and before you begin typing your message, enter
*0# followed by a space and then your message, the other person does not see the code but you will get a message back saying when it has been delivered.

I assume by Windows Mobile Device Centre, you have either Vista or Se7en installed on your PC. I am an XP man myself, but I assume that it is essentially the same as ActiveSync (which XP uses to connect to Windows Mobile devices). Once your phone is connected, you can use the explorer to navigate "into" your device, and copy the CABs of your choice into your phone, so you can run them at your leisure.
If I have missed anything I apologise as I don't know WMDC myself, but I'm sure someone on the forum would be able to help you out on that one!

Seeing as the .NET 3.5 for Windows Mobile is freeware, hopefully posting the two CABs here will not be a problem (needless to say they are COPYRIGHT MICROSOFT).
View attachment dotnet3.5.zip <<< Download here!!
unZIP this file on your PC and transfer the two CABs to your phone, and run them. One will install the actual .NET framework itself, and the other is for error debugging and diagnosis etc..
If posting this causes a problem and a MOD removes them, a search on google should point you to another download location!

Sorry for slow reply, I've been tied up with work for the last couple of days! I don't actually use the Manila clock myself, but I have read that many people don't like the excessive flipping it does when you first goto the home screen. If this is what you mean, there is a modification which will stop it from doing that....

Otherwise, another option is to install the Cookies Home Tab, which allows you many customisations of the Manila home screen (which includes clock faces etc).!

Hope that this will help you!
