VJBigPhone, T-Mobile Videobutton on MDAPro

Hi all,
I am aware about all the other threads but yet could not get across some nonsense on my MDA Pro.
I went back to the t-Mobile ROM because of german support on many features but running ozVGA now successfully with two exceptions:
1. Each time I reset the device, I have to reinstall vjbigphone (0.91) and re-run the .exe to get my dialer back to full screen. VJ did a real got job, but I hope anyone coud tell me, what could be wrong?
2. Does anyone know, how to get rid of the stupid and ugly video-button in the t-mobile dialer? I replaced all BMPs with the one's from iMate, but yet video is the stupid grey. flat button.
Once this is solved, I will write down exactly how to get really the tiny machine running with the best tools for best results.
Greetings

ndee: why do you have to re-install the app?
After a soft reset, what happens when you choose the "load and fix" option from the tray?
I am hoping to spend some time on this app over the next few days. Many apps being fixed, one a at time...

Hi Vijay,
when I softreset, everything on the phone is back to the tiny layout. Even though I "load and fix".
Only workaraound I figured out is reinstall :-(
ndee

Strange - I know we spoke about this before, but then, after you re-install it works?
Have you tried not loading VJBigPhone, soft reset, load the phone (eg press green key, so you can see Tiny buttons) and then load VJBigPhone. Does that make any difference? Re-installing shouldn't make any difference, it doesn't load any settings etc from the registry etc...
v

I have some similiar problems. I'm using also the neweset german ROM on my MDA Pro and after a soft reset I don't have to reinstall the app, but I have to close it and restart it again to gain access to the phone application. Without close VJBigPhone nothing happens, after starting the application again everything works fine (till the next soft reset, which happens every morning after the daily backup)
Wolfgang

I have an idea what might be the problem then.
The code was modified a while back to try to find the "phone" program without you having to specify the name in your own language (eg "telefon" instead of "phone"). However, it's possible that if the phone isn't found, it's getting confused. I'll try to look at the code again soon.
I'm not writing any new programs for a while while I do updates to all the old stuff
V

out of sudden, I dont need to reinstall anymore. Just after reset, I run vjbigphoneres and phone comes up full screen. Dont know what I did and how long it will last - keep you informed though - thx so far.
Any solution for the ugly video button of TM insight?
ndee

TM Button: I know you've spoken about it for a while, but I've got no experience of it, I don't really use my Universal I think someone (you?) posted one before, but could you send me a screenshot if you've got appropriate software, and if you have them, a zip of your extended rom?

Help installing x-button cab

I have a t-mobile Vario III and the x-button worked fine from the title bar until i installed pocket plus 4, now having removed pocket plus as the UI seems much more responsive without it i have lost my x button from the top right of the screen :-(
In settings i have the boxes checked to enable it both for tapping and also to be on the home screen but its not there.
I went into settings and did a factory restore and now the x-button icon is gone from system settings completely !!
I have tried to install the x-button 2.0 cab from here without success as it just wont let me install it, either onto device or storage. (the original version on the device was 1.51)
Its really starting to bug me now lol so i`d be very grateful if anyone could help !
Thanks guys

htc/X-Button-1.5.cab
Mike

Nope that doesn`t work either, it wont even try to install that one, unlike v2 which it at least tries to install before telling me it wasn`t successful.
Many thanks for trying tho

Very odd. Tho' probably due to it being installed and perhaps even running but not showing correctly.
Another hard reset?

Thanks, seems another hard reset did the trick
Damn thing wont connect to the net automatically now when launching browser etc, however it does when using connection sharing with my laptop. Very odd lol
Thanks again

TouchFlo 3D WON'T LAUNCH

Hi
Today I decided to try iDialer from Supware.net. After installing and soft reset, my device will not launch Touch Flo 3D. During the reboot, when the screen comes to the point where it launches Touch Flo, it now says "Tap here to launch TouchFlo"- something it has never done before. So I tap the screen it says "Launching TouchFlo 3D", but then switches back to the "Tap Here" message and stays stuck there. I have since removed iDialer with no success.
Can you please help me with this issue?? Something has gone terribly awry and I DO not want to have to perform a Hard Reset......
Lee

BUMP.....
I had inadvertently edited a manila file and it caused the problem. All back to normal now.
Thanks to Doug @ Supware.net for the quick reply.
Lee

wat did you do to fix the problem cos i had the same problem. I uninstalled the theme that put and still, its not working
Pls i need help

I have the same problem. Is there anyone who can provide a step by step guide on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

hmm... sounds familiar...
I remember having that problem after installing a "D3D driver" or GLES files from somewhere. When I removed them everything went back! But thats just what I did, so, what did YOU do?
overwriting (libgles_cm.dll and libgles_mn.dll ) in the windows directory will do this to you -cause these symptoms, that is. If you did do that, go into windows and delete those files and reset, thus causing the OS to magically replace them from ROM.
Tell me if that works, maybe I can push it on CNN -no, seriously, I hope it works for you guys...
Cheers

I had the same problem, I deleted everything and nothing changed so I had to make a hard reset. About 3 days ago i installed Pamas Transparent Slider and i had the same problem again. I turned off touchflo, removed the slider and then I made a soft reset and then tf3d loaded.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3452270#post3452270
The UAD-TouchPROLandscapeE.cab i made here contains the full TF3D files from the TouchPRO (latest version as of 03/2009)
if its a problem with manila this should fix it, if this doesn't work then it might be hard reset time

Happened to me too, tried to change the language of TF3D and he did not open, back to English back to normal everything!

Thanks for the quick responses.
I have a Touch HD and have tried to replace libgles_cm and libgles_mn files (libgles_cm is part of the ROM and cant be deleted and libgles_mn didn't exist so I installed it), but alas, still no luck.
I also tried The New Landscape, but this didn't load either (I can see the Gecko app while browsing and can run the exe which lists various apps) but I cant get any front end on the screen.
Thanks again for your input, looks like a hard reset is in order

i have no idea what i did to mine, i just plugged it into my xp machine to charge the bettery and some error came up on the computer screen about it not being able to synch and now touchflo will not launch. grrr i really hate HTC. Just going to do another damn hard reset, just like every other f'kn month. Using stock rom, if i had not paid so much for this pos i would have smashed it into dust months ago.

i had the same problem.. about the "tap screen to launch touchflo 3d.. i just uninstalled the spb shell and booted it.. started working

You may need the Diamond TF3D Config to be able to start TouchFlo 3D on devices

boot in "safe mode"?

some threads get close, but no concrete help found...
Stuck in "Launching HTC Sense..."
Anything I can do, besides from flashing a new ROM?
Using a cooked ROM, with several programs/tweaks on it.
build 28205, sense 1922, taskbar showing, bottom row showing, background showing
ROM had been running without a problem for days.
Removed of course SIM & SD cards to remove interference
Hard reset, battery removal no change

Did you tried to reflash your device via the tri-colors screen mode?

yep. just did, no problem there.
just would have liked (or:want) to figure out how to bypass HTC Sense launch......
when xda quickmenu is installed (as I had), then sometimes by pressing the taskbar, quickmenu's popup window is shown, thus access to a file manager, thus a possibility to solve a htc sense problem. This time however, something stopped BEFORE quickmenu started, and I was stuck.

Did you have access to the start menu?
If yes, launch a file explorer, install bsb tweaks 1.6, launch it. Put Windows Settings to ON, soft reset.
After the soft reset, go to start menu -> settings -> Today -> Items, uncheck Sense.

I understand your problem...
No pen-pen, he cannot access anything in WM if Sense freezes while loading at startup: I have the same problem and tried to solve it loading different ROMs and talking here on XDA but for now no result.
The only thing I know is that for some unlucky guys the couple WM 6.5.3 (or later versions) together with Sense is lethal. At some point. The freezing happens after a Soft Reset usually (mainly because is time for Sense loading) and then only a Hard Reset can get out the situation because it's there everytime you Soft Reset.
Look for this program: SafeMode. It works like a charm but you have to pay or use the 14 days test.

That's why I asked if he had access to the start menu.
I didn't have this bug and, so far, I'm in WM6.5.3 since the release of the HSPL.
Did you tried to install your SPB software on wm 6.5.3? it could work. Maybe with some graphical glitches, but it could let you make a backup before the HR.
Also, I've played with Manilla 2.1 and LUA a long time ago when I was young( ), and each time I made a mistake, Manilla was freezing, BUT, after some time, I could have access to start menu to deactivate Manilla and make some debugging.
Maybe you're trying to install some bugged mod or created for an old build of Sense.
Did you checked that?

Hard reset did not solve it either. Hard reset gave the exact same problem.
Tried WM 6.5.3 and 6.5.5, both with sense 1922. I'll try safemode, it it does what I think it does, it seems well worth the money.
Q: Anyone know how to make "XDA QuickMenu" start before Sense, that could potentially get me out af problemsituations as well (as QuickMenu, gives access to taskmanager, filemanager etc)

I had this problem a few times and traced it to SRS WOW. Specifically, SRS was installed, then the new SRS WOW control panel applet was opened before device was reset, it would hang at the same screen.
No idea if this is a possibility for you, just thought I'd suggest it.

tnx! I indeed have SRS WOW installed. I remember there something special with this app, where after install a reset is mandatory before starting the app. Since I use Tom's autoinstall which ends with a reset this shouldn't be a problem. I'll try uninstalling it and see. Then again, this app has been running a long time on many different ROMs without a problem. Wouldn't do the author right to blame this app

Solution related to Document Tab?
Someone considered the beta Document Tab to be the principal cause of Manila freezing and I quite agree. I'm using Artemis ROM since 2 days ago (WM 6.5.5 and Sense 2.5.1922) disabling Document index service and it seems to work ok.
Try to disable it by changing register value at:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/HTCService/DocIndexerService
It's a String containing the DLL's name: turn it to something else (or blank value) and that should make the trick. I repeat: 48 hours without freezing and doing some Soft Resets just to try.
Hope to be of help.

I had with different roms/manila version this "freezign effect. Normlay after installing "my" software, so after a clean hard rest it was no problem.
So far I always solved it by using sk-tools and rearranging the booting order in the startup folder.
I put htc sense startup normaly at the very end of the booting chain.
This is certainly possible with QuickMenue as well.
In the meantime Iknow which applications are putting something in the startup folder and after installation of those programms I am changing it mit sk tools and do not wait till a reboot and run into trouble.
Best regards,
dingolino

tnx! read about sktools, but didn't know exactly what it could do for me. For others: http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
I've got enough help for now. "safemode" and "SKtools" definitely helping.
tnx everyone

A couple of possible features

Hey guys, I've had my HD2 for a few months now and I'm loving it, especially with all the addons you guys are bringing out. I just have a couple of ideas/requests that i think you guys might be able to help out with (mainly because I have zero programming experience!).
A ".co.uk" button
When you type addresses into opera, you have a ".com" button on the keyboard. When you hold it, it gives you options for .net, .org and .gov. Is there a way to get .co.uk on that list?
A restart device button
When you hold the end call button you're shown the Quick List which gives you options to power off, lock device, set vibrate and terminate data connection. Can we add Restart Device to that list?
Also, I know this has been covered in another thread but does anyone know if HTC will be releasing the 1.72 update for unbranded devices in the UK? I got mine from o2 but cannot use the official o2 update as mine was not originally branded.
Thanks for all your help!

the nwe cookies home tab has a reset button... don't know about .co.uk......

restart? or reset?
several options for reset already out. Restart shouldn't be needed, if you are pushing that button to get that screen, it means your device is on...

1.72 is 1.66 with operator branding, you aren't missing anything.

I mean restart, so it would turn it off and back on again automatically. Some programs need you to restart your device after installation and I think that would be quicker than having to turn it on and back on again.

Oh ok, thanks. I have read people saying that it's snappier and an sms fix has been applied. Is this all compared to their old 1.4 rom rather than 1.66?

Try CHT

The best thing would be to get cookies home tab 1.8 as it already has reset & restart built in

Soft reset
Soft reset takes care of installing programs, its just like turning off, or pulling battery,,,, As far as I've been told, could be wrong? I am quite often,,lol

If you don't want Cookies home tab, then you can install XDAShutdown, there is a HTC style skin for it, and its got a few options as well as restarts

it will have any updates that are listed for the 1.66 rom on the htc website already applied, that will be the only difference.
As for 'it feels snappier', , , you ever installed a fresh OS on a PC? It always feels like you have a snappy new machine . Same principal. They just flashed a nice fresh rom, got rid of all teh extra bits and pieces they forgot they had installed months ago, its BOUND to feel snappier.
Anyway, if you want to try it, but are worried about hspl and warranty, it is only out of warranty whilst hspl is physically on the phone.
So, install hspl2, choose 1.66.hspl, install the O2 rom via usb, when its done, re run hspl2, and choose 1.66.0000.
Everything back to stock in less than ten minutes, no warranty issues.

maybe I will have a look.

ok so basically the cab file does do a replace of the xml files that store the key values for the keyboard. However I cant see the .com button. maybe someone more experienced in modifying the keyboard settings can take a look at this and see where you would need to modify it to add this function.
