newb here, my names chris and im from hagerstown MD im 20 and i just ordered a t mobile wing....just switched over from the sidekick lx....
cant wait for my wing to get here tomorrow. First off i have a few questions about modding my wing, ive tried to understand all the faqs and posts but im just not catching on. my goals are to get a custom layout with a custom pic for my backround with a diff. clock and ringtones from mp3s. possibly a mario game if possible. if anyone could walk me thru this id be very greatfull, thanks chris. p.s. i only have a 128mb sd card will i need larger?
You got alot to look forward to. As for games/emulation on the Herald is below par in my opinion. Games designed for Windows Mobile work great though. As for customization there is tons to do. First consider changing your rom. Plenty of options to choose from here. You also might want to invest in a little research on the benefits of HardSPL. If you wish to converse feel free to message me. I am in no way an expert but I have plenty of time to share what I have learned reading here if you want.
im really excited about getting it. ive checked out the rom stuff but i still dont really understand how it all works.....if you could point me in the right direction as to how i should do this in order from most important to least that would be great....i just know as of now i have to download,unzip,drag to phone,and manually start the programs....id just like to know for sure so i dont brick my phone. ive seen some accept donations for helpin out and id donate into a paypal accound or a sd card or whatever if someone cared to lay this all out for me and link me what im looking for etc. like i said i just want a custom layout or toolbar and ringers off my sd and pictures of my bike as backround....id like a mario game or somethin so when im bored at work i have a kill time

that helped me out alot
ok i think ive figured out alot from the forums now ive downloaded a morphgear emulator where can i get games for it and will i be ok using stock rom or will i need to reflash due to file sizes?

All I have to say, is there is a TON of information on this website to read through. I think I read and did some research for about 2-3 weeks before I actually hard spl'd my phone. I would recommend using the uspl method to flash first. It's safer so if you screw up, you don't brick your device. Once you start understanding more, you can Hard spl and then it's a lot easier to flash to different roms. That way you can try out all the roms out there to see which you like best. I used the uspl method and flashed to Open Touch v 3.0 biggy which I LOVED!
well i have my wing in hand and it rocks....unfortunately after ive decided to just do small mods first such as .cab etc. i realised i need active sync and my super retarded vista wont let me download anything grrrrrrr.
ok got my sync workin yesssssssss now i just need to figure out which file to store the cab files.....anywhere should be fine theoretically....

Yeah, what I do, is I made a folder called Cab Files on my sd card. I copy all cab files I want to install there. I also installed this cab file that keeps all your cab files in that folder after you install them. That way, when you flash to a different rom, you already have all your favorite cab files in that folder. There is no need to copy them from your computer to your phone. (When you usually install a cab file from your phone, the original cab file gets deleted) I included the cab file to keep your files.
sweet man now everything is up and runnin now im gonna figure out this clock glow and im already debating switching roms.....i cant get page pool mod to work soooo

Yeah, I used the clock glow thing too. All you do is copy all the files into your windows directory. It will ask you to overwrite them. Then, just do a soft reset, and presto!
i cant over write the original home files to glow the clock.....im not messin with it any more.....ill start looking into roms now

Ah, yeah...trust me on this one, you def. want to check out some different roms though. I would look into using the uspl method first though. It's safer than hard spl'ing, and it's relatively easy to flash to. Look up Open touch 3.0. There is a ton of info on how to flash to it. If you have any questions, just private message me.

Hi wondering if someone can help.
In the latest rom update from O2 if you install the active UI it will give you a battery today plugin which is quite handy.
Now my question we all know the ActiveUI is horrible will slow down the exec and take up to much space. Is there anyway of stripping out this battery today plugin form the ActiveUI and creating a cab file so it will just install this part. I think the file that is needed from the ActiveUI is BatteryNFO.
Many Thanks
Scott
Wow 50 views and still no one got an answer????
Got to say I'd love this too. I've tried other battery monitors, and none are as good as that one.
Ok i have been looking in to this since i posted and have extracted the signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build88.cab file to my home machine. From What i can see there are 7 files that could be related to this 4 of which start with batter~1.029 and so on the other 3 start with power_~1.070. is there anyway of telling what these files are actually for.
Im no expert at this but surely it can be done as i have seen people have ripped the connection settings from this cab file before so surely the same sort of thing can be done with this.
Cheers
Scott
i agree...looks quite nice this battery plug-in...hope sum1 finds a way of getting it as a cab file soon
Still looking in to this and not going to let it beat me to.
Has anybody ever used this software before.
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=12093
MagicCab PocketPC CAB extractor 0.63
It looks like it is going to do what i need and be able to strip out the battery today plugin from the cab and even tell us what reg settings we need to enter to if i am reading it right but before i commit myself to the $10.95 has anyone ever used it before to clarify that it will do what i need it to do.
If you want something more professional use WCE CAB Manager.
Why not use Batti ?
It gives you just as much information, doesn't take up valuable Today space or slow down your machine, is visible in every application not just Today, and runs in just 20K. And it's free
Right
So far with the advice given to me by ibendlin about wince cab manager and after several hard resets (trial and error thank god for spbpocket backup lol) i have manged to get half way there. But i am having a problem getting the skins to work
As you can see i have manged to sort the today plugin but im having problems getting the skins working even after a soft reset.
Maybe someone can offer some advice i will gladly forward the cab that i have created so far if anyone can offer some suggestions.
Ineedtoys: So far i have manged to get this down to 14kb as for the space on the today screen user preference really, but thank you for your advice on batti.
Anyway off to bed will work on this some more tomorrow
OK, if you dont activate the ActiveUI thing in programs then you can have life without it. To get it to go away now that its on goto \windows\startup and delete the ActiveUI file in there. You cant seem to unistall the program. I just avoid the icon like the pluage.
There are more complex ways of getting what your looking for, but this one is simple and effective
JAmes
ps. then soft reset
Hi James
Tis true what you are saying and this way will work but unfortunatly you will also get about 10mb worth of extra programs installed from the activeUI which take up the oh so precious Device storage space where the actual battery bar it's self only takes up around 14kb
But thanks anyway
yeah but the newer people to the scene might not like playing about with things. I've only just got use to playing about with stuff and up untill now I've been using this solution.
Now i've had the phone a wee while i'm happy to start going for corporate mode but was easier not to when i was just getting use to the whole PDA type stuff
JAmes
I know what you mean we all had to start somewhere right lol.
I stopped using the the personal install about a month after i had my exec it was only through advice from these forums that i actually found out how much space the activeUI took up and also how much it slowed it down.
I use this one:
it shows 2 lines: one for main Battery status and one for Backup Battery status (no more exists in WM5); it works well
tried this one but I still think the one in the latest rom release from O2 looks sharper/prettier....
Yeah i'm planning on giving up the basic mode soon.
let me know how you get on, as I too like this battery meter.
JAmes
Fellas
I Have done it, Sort of. Still a few bugs but i don't think i will be able to sort these limited knowledge and already about 10 hard reset's.
I have been using now for around 8 or 9 hours now and all seems to be fine after the install no memory loss or anything.
Works well in True VGA to.
congrats m8..any chance of u posting the cab file here?
hiya scotjen,
dont mind you posting it out here??
thanks...
damn, I still have a Champions League game against Arsenal later.
got to get back to training soon
Well done.
What bugs are you still experiencing. Maybe someone could advise you further?
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ifonz-v0-9-9.html
Quite a cool I phone looking app. How hard would it be for someone to make this a panel?
I guess really the question should be... Why don't you just buy an iPhone? My guess is this is just a today screen plugin, similar to TF3D. If that is the case, running it should be about the same at TF3D on the X1. I know some people in the Diamond forum were trying to get ifonz to work.
Jep, same thought! Go und lock yourself up with an iPhone...
i really dont get why anyone on earth likes the iphone. but whatever.
Well why not a iphone lookalike panel when the tf3d seems very popular,it´s all about to replace/complement the panels we already have onboard as i see it..
iphone is a nice phone and i cant say i havent put iphone like apps on my 6800 and thought about it for my tp but i thought again and whats the point i may as well have just gotten an iphone. its probably best to get apps from iphone (if at all possible) instead of the flashy looking ui. it gets boring after a while. not taking anything away from the people that develop those programs because its something i cant do and it amazes me. so keep up the good work but just not for me at least not for extended periods.
you could ask the author
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656&highlight=ifonz
Does this install as a Today plugin or an app itself?
Oops... found the answer. It ain't a Today plugin. So guess it somehow replaces the today screen? And that why TS's there asking about if anyone can convert it to a panel?
I find this is a discussion worth picking up again! so has anybody put some thought to it?
I tried the latest version of ifonz ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656) and it works pretty good with full landscape support and loads of customisation options.
Now ... I know nothing about programming .. but is it hard to make it come up as a panel?
The way it works now it is an .exe which u need to start manually (similarly to the T3D before the panel .cab came out) ... so what does it take to get a panel .cab for this little app?
I thought about contacting the author but then again I dont see why this should be his business ... he probably doesnt even have the Xperia!
So any ideas on this?
thx
I'd think the one most able to come up with a panel for this at the moment should be the guy who did the panel for TF3D.
I tried installing the ifonz using the .exe but they mentioned about throwing an exception?
I've searched almost everywhere for an answer but have yet to find one. I still can't install iFonz on the XPERIA. I was wondering, do I download the files on the phone itself then run the exe (if that's possible) OR run it on the desktop/laptop with the XPERIA connected via activesync which I have been trying to do. But on my Laptop, I get an error that it has failed and on my desktop it says something about an exception.
no u are supposed to install it on the xperia ... maybe u r doing the same mistake that I did the first time I tried to install ... this may sound stupid but u need to copy the .zip onto your xperia and then actually extract the files before u can install them!
Reason I m saying this is because when u click on .zip after u copied it onto your xperia it will automatically change folder and show u a list of all the files that are in that .zip.
intuitively u would probably click the .exe right away however if u do this u get an error saying that the file cannot be installed for unknown reasons etc. if you however, extract the files to a folder of your choice then u can click the .exe and the installation works just fine
alternatively, u may just be needing to install microsoft net framework 3.5 which u can download for free on the microsoft website .. if you search this forum u will find a link to it ..
sorry for late reply, hope that helps
Ah thank you! Yes, I have installed Microsoft Net Framework (I did do my research haha). I will try it out now!
Okay, now that I have ifonz I realised that I don't like it. Worst of all, when I switch on my phone, it starts off in the ifonz page. And so I deleted the ifonz folder. But now, when I switch on my phone, they mention an error as they are unable to find ifonz.exe. How do I get rid of this annoying pop up?
I know I'm going to catch hell for this. I've seen all the "Use the search" field responses. I've used the search field, google, wiki, yahoo, etc in search of a pink, or neon flip tf3d clock for my stock At&t tilt 2. I at one point had it, don't ask me how - pure luck I guess. I lost it due to a hard reset from a bad install. So any help is super super appreciated!
My current theme right now is a combo of the dusk theme and icons from http://tp2.bfgreenberg.com/tp2more.htm
I'm all in all just looking for either a kick ass pink and black theme - not too girly but just enough to look wicked or a transparent pink clock. Like I've said, I have searched and searched and I just can't find it again!
Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction.

Update I flashed my Stock At&t rom to HTC's default Rom - WOWZA
This is a lot to read but hopefully it helps someone, somewhere. The newb guides just confused me for a long time. I thought a simple numbered step by step might help...?
After being scared out of my wits of flashing a new rom on my stock AT&T tilt2 I decided to go for it. Granted, I was only going from the stock US At&t rom to the one released in Europe - but it had sense 2.5 and it seemed as though just about everything I've found on XDA only worked for 2.5! So I tested the whole process out on my husbands HTC Pure - better to brick his than mine lmao! After fiddling for 15 minutes or so and realizing that I had sucessfully flashed my first rom I decided I'd go for it. To make things easier for anyone who might come across this thread I thought I'd post this - the dummies guides on xda helped me a great deal but some of it you can only figure out on your own.
1.
First off, I needed a hardspl program that I found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
Also there I found the newbies guide to flashing the rom which I found invaluable in the whole process. (run that hard spl on the computer - ignore the antivirus warnings (i had tons and windows 7 wouldn't let me do a thing until I disabled ALL my antivirus settings and ran the program as an administrator)
2.
then after failing to install it I found it was required that I get this .cab
http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab
which needed to be run on the phone
3.
After installing the enabler program I was able to run the Hard SPL program dealie. Nothing really happened on my phone yet.
4.
I then found this list
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Rhodium/
and clicked on the fourth one down ->
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped...01.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship.exe
I had to tinker with it for a while to figure out whether or not I was running this program on my phone or on the computer. Answer - the computer.
5.
I hooked my phone back up to windows mobile device center (everything on xda said activesync - same thing basically) let it sync (which it only did while the phone was on and running - not in tricolor. The instructions from the newbies guide varied a bit here, a lot of them said go into the tricolor (which is really 4 colors but hey, i'm not going to gripe) bootmenu and load it from there. however, windows mobile device center did not recognize any device as being plugged in when i did that - only when i started the phone all the way up. Alas - I ran the program from my desktop with the phone hooked up and the progress bar started moving.
(mind you it took me a while to get all this figured out, it'd stall, or say failed. This is when it finally all came together for me)
6. Phone shut itself off a couple times during the process, went to the boot screen and I got nervous. Finally at 100% it restarted and I noticed immediately it didn't make that annoying warhawk sound. I looked and boom - I had sense. I tinkered with the phone for awhile, playing with my new on screen shortcuts that weren't there before reveling in just how awesome htc's stock rom was in comparison to the crap at&t's came with when I noticed
that my keyboard wasn't quite right...all the numbers were wrong. Search---found another fix here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584116
Still tinkering and now I'm on my quest to personalize my new phone. Perhaps now that I can actually get some of these tweaks and mods posted on here I might be able to have my groovy pink clock that I've always wanted. A girl can hope right?

Hi Guys,
Just got my new HD2 and wow, what a phone. I just retired a 3GS after about 12 month and wanted back to WM which I really missed. That said, the iPhone gave me some bad habbits that I need to break.
First thing I did was flash the HSPL ready for flashing some new roms but before I do that, I wanted to get used the WM again. My last was 6.5 on a kaiser so this is similar but different.
Anyway, couple of things. First is the Facebook app. On my iphone, when someone had posted XYX Name Likes the Group "WM 4 Me", the "WM 4 Me" portion was linked. I dont see that in the WM app. Am I missing something or is it that you cant just jump to that group? Any tips here.
Next thing is if anyone can recomend a good program to remote erase all data if I loose it or if there is anything out there to enrypt my sd card to make it useless without a password?
Last, is there a way to get the HD2 into landscape mode? I assumed it would be automatic but... Thats what I get for assuming.
Thanks in advance guys.

stock rom isnt landscapeable, some cooked roms are, but its never been released like that, it was a test rom that leaked with the landscaped tabs and the chefs cooked them in.
I'm running the stock ROM and it's correct there's no native landscape rotation built in, but I've been using the cab attached below, and it works great for putting sense and even WM apps (like file explorer!) into landscape when you physically rotate the phone. Just put the cab on your SD card, run it (install to phone), then soft-reset.
Hey thanks guys. Just installed the cab and bingo. Dont know why they didnt send it from the factory that way?
Sam, going to se if I can get hold of that remotetracker and give it a shot.
So far, happy with the stock rom so I might just tweak it a little bit. Would still like to figure this Facebook app out. Is it an actual app or a mobile webpage I'm looking at? Also need to find a new gps since my old favorite site (gpsunderground)seems to have shut down.
Thanks again.

Cheers mate. If you have any must haves, let me know. I'm searching for footprints and I should be done.
Before people tell me to search the forums, that's what I've been doing for the longest time, trying every ROM on the Vogue forum. And before you tell me to try Android, I've done that too, and while I like it, I prefer Windows Mobile on this particular phone at the moment, but may put Android on it again sometime in the future.
The closest that I've found is NagROM V0.19 Touch, which is just a touch too basic. I'm looking for something like that, but with M2D and M2D Customiser, the HTC Cabs and Ringtones, the EZInput keyboard like in NFSFan's ROM, and Office 2007 or 2010. While I like the ROMs that come with other programs cooked in, such as Total Commander and PHM Registry Edit, I prefer the ROM coming without them so that when I go to install an updated version, I don't run into a problem. Too many times I've had problems installing a newer version of a program when it comes up telling me it has to uninstall the previous version, but can't, sometimes leaving me with just the old version, or both versions.
And before anyone says to cook my own, I've looked into guides, tried cooking my own, and the past few times I've tried, it wouldn't even boot up for the first time after flashing. I've tried numerous kitchens, some of which are supposed to be basic ones, perfect for beginners, but end up with one of a few problems: Not compatible with 64-bit windows, virus scanner blocks a crucial part, not meant for the Vogue, etc.
Basically what I'm asking is: Are there any basic ROMs with nothing more than M2D (and HTC cabs and Ringtones, and M2DC), EZInput, and Office Mobile 2007/2010 cooked in, or can someone HELP me with trying to cook my own (so that I can have it preconfigured for Verizon, MMS working and GPS set up)?
Hey, Ill cook you up a rom with the things you want. Should be done here in a little while!
Hey - that's a dev for you, man. Ask and ye shall receive!

Haha, wow. I never expected someone to actually make it fer me! I'll have to try it out tomorrow as it's late now. Also, what kitchen do you use, Barogi? I still do plan on learning. (I'm a mix of hands on learning and being shown/flat out told what to do for the first time or three lol). Also, I assume it is set up as a Generic ROM (without the provisioning cab, MMS cab and settingsh, and Registry settings for GPS)? Also, as time goes more things come to mind to be cooked in (hence wanting to learn how to cook a ROM personally, and slowly becoming less basic ) lol. Still, thanks, majorly. I'll let you know how it works out when I try it tomorrow =3
Oh, and what version of EZInput is cooked in? I know I said "like the one in NFSFan's ROM," but that's only because I was unsure of the version (which I know now is 1.5.)

I use ppckitchen.org Buildos 2.0.0 And yes it is generic meaning you will need a carrier cab, Once you do install your carrier cab everything should work such as mms and gps. As for Ezinput i actually use a newer version than Nfsfans its (pcarvalho_ezInput_2.1_QVGA). If you want some help with cooking your own rom, just install ppckitchen buildos 2.0.0 since thats the only one ive ever used and know how to use and then send me a message on whatever you need some help with! Also if you want something changed in the rom i have already made for you before you get a chance to build your own, just let me know and ill do it.
EDIT: Had posted the wrong link to ppckitchen its supposed to be ppckitchen.org not .com
Hope you like it.

PPCKitchen BuildOS 2.0.0 is what I was using as well. I've used enough generic ROMs to know how to get it all working, so that's simple to do. Was just curious about that. I've gotten one ROM working through there, but somehow ended up with the Windows Mobile 6.1 splash screen (even though I changed it lol.) I'll try out your ROM, and I"ll keep playing with BuildOS. Hopefully I can get the file size down, and figure out how to cook in my own things, not just what's listed on the build menu lol. I'm kind of a hands on learner, kind of need to be shown multiple times, so playing around with it (though will take MUCH longer) SHOULD help me figure it out, but I'll keep in mind to PM you if I have any questions.

I'm kind of a hands on learner, kind of need to be shown multiple times, so playing around with it (though will take MUCH longer) SHOULD help me figure it out, but I'll keep in mind to PM you if I have any questions.

Ok great!
Alright, I'm trying out the ROM, and so far it looks great. Just one slight thing... I see you put in PHM RegEdit (an add on program I said I prefer installing myself so that when I go to update it I don't run into problems lol) Other than that, so far it looks perfect. Now if I could figure out how to cook a ROM where it isn't bigger than the stock, with just a few add in things as I think of them that I use regularly (and cook it as a Verizon specific ROM) then yay. Time to start playing with BuildOS while setting up my phone again lol

Ahh sorry about that Its just one of those programs that i figured you might want but perhaps had forgotten to ask for
Also i realized that after i had uploaded the rom that i forgot to add the reg edit to fix the 2016 date error on sms messages... Not sure if that affects you on Verizon, because i do not get it on Bell.
If you want... I can give you a list of the necessary things you should put in your own roms to make it function to its fullest.. like all the necessary bluetooth items and such?

It's alright, I think PHM is one of the ones that can be updated even if it's cooked in without any problems. And yes, the 2016 problem will affect me on Verizon. I had it happen to me on NagROM before, but already had the fix downloaded (someone made it into a cab) so I installed it to be on the safe side. As for the list of things to make it function to the fullest, please do. And if there is another way to contact you other than on here, can you tell me in PM? I'd like to contact you off of here for help with cooking a ROM. I've tried again, and it wouldn't even finish building this time. Out of about 8 times of cooking a ROM, it succeeded only once, but I forgot to compress it (this was before you made this ROM for me).
Also, slight problem, and quick question.
The problem is on M2D. The music tab. It says that it can't play the audio file and opens Windows Media Player. I haven't found anything on this yet and had it happen to me on a few ROMs. If it can't be fixed, that's fine, i can just take off the music tab (because I don't always slide along the bottom, I'll use the D-pad at times, and if other people play with my phone)
The question... Where can I find the default background for M2D? I changed the background using M2DC so it'll be on all the tabs, but you can't see the white text, so I wanna change it back until I find a different background.

Ill send you a pm with my cell number. Also I have always gotten that message when trying to use music tab. I dont think a fix has ever been mentioned... I know that it usually defaults to using audio manager and not the windows media player, perhaps that could be the problem?
The background... I think that you have to back up the default in M2DC before changing it in order to get it back, so that you can reload it. Just so you know, I don't use Manila at all on my phone, so im not quite sure how to fix many things on it. And remember that most issues are do to the fact that Manila is not made for our phones and has been ported over. But I will try my best to help you out.

I've had the music tab working before. I think NFSFan's ROM. And I'll just find a different background. I'll send you a text tomorrow before my class.

Yeah NFSFAN always cooked Audiomanager into his roms... you could put it in your own as well and it probably would stop the error.

Barogi...can I hit you up for a more basic one that that? I need the lighted WM ROM there is. I basically need Windows Mobile 6.5.3 and that's it...no extras.
If you could make one that has everything removed except Windows (even ezinput, office, ringtones, htc apps, etc...then I would be very appreciate
Of course if you have a kitchen link I can do it myself - thanks !!
