I have Cingular 8125 version of Wizard, running default ROM from Cingular right when 8125 was released last year.
I'm having a re-ocurring problem of not being able to install certain apps. In some cases the first time I install something it works okay, but can't install a new version later.
These apps are ones I've had trouble with and curently cannot install:
-mortplayer
-mortscript
-slider lock
-teletype GPS
Here are things I've tried in various combinations
-checked for sufficient space on storage card or ram
-un-install app, then re-install
-install to storage card or system ram
-reset device
-install via "cabinstl" program
-install from pc setup.exe
-install directly from .cab on device
-even tried a complete hard / factory reset and installed some of the apps as first time ok, but mortplayer was one that I couldn't install on a fresh factory reset
Anyone else having problems like this? I've seen a couple comment's on mort's board of others having problems but no resolution.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
no one else has problems then
have you tried re-download mortplayer cab and try to install it? i have come across the same problem and the corrupted cab file was the reason. i think it get corrupted while i'm transferring it to the sd card. so sometime i just download directly to my wizard.
Ya, I've tried several different vesrions over past 6 months. Just tried downloading latest cab directly to phone and installing it to Device memory...
"Mort's MortPlayer" cannot be installed
Thanks!
i use to have a problem like this.
Then i download "CabViaActiveSync" and i have no problems installing any programs. works like a charm. Try it see if it fixes your problem. Search for it . its free.
Hi
I used to have the TF3D(With tha panel installer) cab installed on my Xperia and it worked fine.
I decided to give Manila HD cab a shot sence people were saying it was working faster.
I did a hard reset and installed the manila HD cab by itje, installed the panelinstaller but when I choose to start TF3D it keeps loading...
I've searched the forum but I can't find the answear.
I wonder if I'm supposed to install the cabs in a certain order for it to work...
Anyone who can help???
Thanks
I was told just quit by clicking "panel" key, and re-select this panel. I haven't tried it, so let me know if it works.
I did try that...it didn't work. I did a soft reset as well but no luck...
I installed the Manila HD cab on my storage card by the way. I don't know if that can be the problem because I did the same thing on my TF3D and it worked fine...
Yes,I gotta the same problem and at last it is solved by re-installing the cab in phone rather than card.

hello all
i just downloaded a cab in there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451702
it's a cab to change the clock "TF2D digital clock by pcarvalho"
i tried to install on my mem card, and nothing happened.
so i tried on the phone and it asked me for a reboot, i push ok, then it restart.
but when it's time touchflo launch, nothing happen and it shows 'push here to start touchflow'
if i want touchflo to start i have to delete the clock...
where have i been wrong?
thanks
These CABs usually sucks. They're just not working well. My recomendation is - use the M2DC and themes in zip or mdct format instead.
It seems that you want a diamond-like clocks. If so - check this thread. (well, do it anyway )
YEAH
Ok thanks a lot,
that's great both works very find, i keep em both on my card so i can change easely!!!
thank you so much...

Hello all,
I'm kinda frustrated with my HD2 device at the moment. It worked perfectly fine until a few days ago.
It has begun to freeze _very_ often. With some ROMS it can't even boot up. It freezes when I have to enter my PIN. On other ROMS it is guranteed to freeze when using ActiveSync/Exchange.
Using HSQL, I've tried L3v5y, XannyTechRom, and MIRI. All with the same result.
Have you got any ideas whats wrong with my device?
Any help will be much appreciated.
I have no idea about whats wrong but this has been a common issue/problem for many members...I don't think I saw this many issues with the HD...I dunno whats wrong with HD2 or the ROMs that it starts freezing for some...maybe the HSPL is buggy? I dunno to be honest.
maybe you should install a stock rom in between or go to MTTY and see if that fixes the issues for you.
Overall tho, its frightening to see how many people have freezing issues with Sense after flashing a couple of custom ROMs...I'm afraid it might eventually happen to everyone and thats why we need to find out what is causing this.
BTW try to format your SD card and then flash a stock ROM without the SD card and see if there is any improvement...my guess is that it will work fine again (for a while at least).
What I have figured out is that with different roms the behaviour is different, depending IN WHICH ORDER you have the links in the autostart folder.
Right after flashing it should be ok and if you install than other programms the startup interfears with the startup of htc-sense
Finaly I have the best result (on my device with the programms I have installed) keeping the htc-Sense startup as the LAST item.
You can change the order with sk-tools (Autotstart items).
You can check this (If you have a chance to access):
- Make a reset and do not enter the pin code of your sim card (on my device this was making a difference, if you do not have a pin code maybe you should take out your sim card that the phone cannot connect)
- Go to the settings and unselect in "Today" "HTC Sense"
Than you should have the normal "speed" of the device and you should be able to start sk tools and change the booting order.
It looks like that - depending on the start up order that applications - processes are waiting for each other and using nearly 100% of cpu power and you have therefore the impression that the device is frozen.
I am sorry I do not know how to change the startup order without sk-Tools
Best regards,

Thanks for your reply.
I will try what you suggest later today and then write back the results here. It would be very nice if we could solve this issue.
I don't really get that MTTY thing. What exactly does it do?

When you flash lots of cooked roms, they get "bloated" and the devices started hard-resetting for no reason. this is because of files from old roms being left when the new rom is flashed.
MTTY allows you to enter the device on bootloader and use service commands to format the file system on the device so you can remove all rom files before flashing a new rom!!

basicly it will format your system and make sure you don't have any files from older roms left on the system which might cause this issues.

i tried too l3v5y's ROM and it didn't work. But maybe, your pb is not exactly same as mine.
Do you you a 16 GB card ? for me, it's certainly cause of pb because i can use every rom without sd card
Try to ask more to sternas but i noticed he prefer keep his cook secrets
Try to install "official" 1.61, make HR after boot. After next reboot connect with PC and flash with any cooked ROM. I had the same problems like you and this helped me...

Try deleting the folder "\Application Folder" on the storage card using your PC/Laptop, and reinsert the SD card into HD2. I assume you are using ROM cooked with Manila version that has the document tab.
Let us know if this works for you. It took me a long time and many flashes to figure this out. I suppose you have configured your HD2 for emails or MS Exchange pushmail?
Edit : If you already experience the slowdown caused by inserting the SD Card, MAKE SURE you reboot your HD2 before re-inserting the SD card.
I had this "freezing during startup" with a number of roms (always after I installed my software) and since that I am always "tweaking" it by the startup order as I described it and was able to solve it!
I do not think that it is hardware related in the amount of cases which are reported. And I am also not a strong believer of this "flashing" and mtty discussion (it could be a solution is some cases but I do not think in this relatively larger number of cases which are reported).
For most of the rom cookers it is not the 1st rom cooking they are doing and the HD2 is not the 1st HD2 device for HTC as well. This is the reason why I do not think that there is a principle rom problem nor a principle hardware problem
Manila Sense is a complex pcs of software and the startup is therefore more complex.
Depending on the tweaks the rom cookers are doing on the XIP and other WM internals there could be a timing interfearance during booting and this is creating the trouble for Manila Sense startup (network, phone, etc.).
Reminds me to the "good old days" with ATART-ST where you had dedicated tools to rearrange the startup seaquenze of the Accessories
At least i think it is worth trying it, you cannot loose anything.
But I played not only with the finaly boot order of htc-Sense (the last one) but also I put other elements in a different order.
Sometimes it was helping to install Panolauncher and put it before HTC Sense startup - I had the impression that just having another application before HTCsense made an improvement to "give HTCSense" more time.
Does not sound like science but a little bit like Voodoo ...
My Autostart folder (only the applications)
1. poutlook.lnk
2. BTTrayCE.lnk
3. De|WMPTempFolder.lnk
4. PKG.lnk
5. Lotus Traveler.lnk (installed by me)
6. LotusPRUploader.lnk (installed by me)
7. Panolauncher.lnk (installed by me)
8. OM10QS.lnk (installed by me - Opera 10 beta)
9. HTCStartUp.lnk
Good luck

so i just got the last version of sktools.....could anybody please explain how I can change the startup order? sktools has allot of tools and I just cant figure out how its done!
thanx!
Hi,
sounds to me like you have flashed so many times you HD2 has become "Bloated"
this is where for eg, Rom X is 110Mb, and then you Flash Rom Y which is only 100Mb.
When you do the flash there is 10Mb of residual files left from the previous rom., when this happens often you get strange things happening like you describe and worse, your device can start hard resetting for no reason!!
Go to this thread (swap the ** for tt ) h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616422 (I cant post links yet!!) and it will fix your issue. (The thread has been shut as there has been a big argument over it, something to do with a disagreement over drivers!! - how gay!)
I can honestly say, although i have only joined recently, i have been a user of this method for about 6 years, I personally know the Guy who opened the thread and i would stand buy him 100%.
Although the thread is closed, i will help with queries via PM if you like!

I tried deleting the \Application Folder folder and reset the phone.
Of course this equaled a hard reset as all system data stored was in \Application Folder.
So I removed my storage card and did a hard reset so that the system data will not be stored in the storage card.
Hopefully this will be make the device more stable as such.
use the mtty to format ur device first, then flash the rom u want to flash.
I have encountered the same issues just like u, after use the MTTY, so far so good.
the post is kind of complex, but it is worth to have a try.
I am still having problems installing most cabs. Only a few are working for some reason? I have searched and searched and can't find any help. Is there an app unlock that will work on my Tmobile HD2? I saw one for the Tilt2 but not sure if it would work on mine. I could use some help this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

I know some cabs require soft reset or even recycle power. Exactly what apps are not working?

Are you trying to unlock DEMO's? Kindly explain more what does this app do as i am curious what it is? If you are, this forum does not allow it.
I know that some cabs. require a soft reset after installing but my problem is most cabs won't install. The download fine but then say uninstallable. They are good clean cabs like BsB Tweaks and several others from here, also I tried from sites like pocketpc.net and still they won't install. A very few do and one I tried was sdkcerts hoping that maybe I'd get lucky but it didn't help. I'm not trying to install any trials or anything. I don't know what else to do, I have searched and searched and haven't found anything that works yet. I'm not that proficient that I feel comfortable flashing anything yet. I love the phone but not being able to install most things sucks. Tweaking the phone is one of my favorite things, I'll work up to flashing later hopefully. If anyone can help I could sure use it.
@N1M1TZ: I can vouch that amstaff's intentions are legit, we've just been unable to get most any cabs to install for him so far.
@amstaff: I'm honestly believing that with everything else we've tried, it's proabably time to try a hard-reset...I haven't turned up anything else that could address your problem (no app unlock, etc). It's actually a very simple procedure, and has often cleared up odd issues that defy every other attempt. The only downside is that it resets any tweaks etc that you've done since starting, but if you're having trouble installing everything anyway, I'm guessing you haven't been able to make too many changes. You'll just want to back up your contacts (easy), and see if this forces your phone to behave. We'll be happy to help you through the process if you want.
Does your uSD card have a write lock switch? Not sure if the card that came from Tmous had one or not. I am using a C6 card which doesn't happen to have one. Anyway, another thing to check as this can disallow write access to the SD card.
Another thing to try is copying the cab file to internal memory, turning off the phone, removing the SD card then trying to install in internal memory without the SD card in the phone. You can always uninstall it if you wanted it on the card but this should rule out some problems.
Sirphinkee-I went ahead and tried a hard reset, you're right it didn't really matter since I have only been able to install a few things. It still has the same problem.
Decim8-I looked at my card and there is no lock on it. I don't think that would be the problem anyway since it does install a few cabs. That's what I don't understand I can't figure out why it will a couple but so many others it won't? I know the cabs. are legit cabs. and they are from reliable sources and people. It's better than 90% of the cabs. I'd like to install keep saying uninstallable. I tried your suggestion of installing to the phone directly without having the sd card in and still they won't install. Downloading them to card or to hard drive is no problem only the installation.
Has anyone heard of an App Unlock cab. for the T-mobile HD2? I just don't know what else to do, I don't want to flash as I don't know that much yet and I saved for quite a while to get this phone and a HD2 brick would be terrible.
Thanks for the ideas so far guys-

There is no "app unlock" cab. It make no sense that some cabs install and some don't. Are you making sure that they are cabs and not zip files? And you are leaving the cab files together... not un-zipping the cabs? (cab files will look like a rar or zip file on your pc.) All the files you are using are single files ending in .cab, right? And you are copying them over to your device, then launching them from your device?

They aren't zipped. I had a Fuze before this phone and never had a problem like this one. I'm doing the same thing with this HD2 as I did with it. I download to the sdcard, then try to install. I've downloaded to card and tried to install to card, I've downloaded to card and tried to install to device, I've downloaded to device and tried to install to device it's always the same thing.
Amstaff, did you get my PM?
Java Unlock for HD2
I get certificate messages when trying to install unsigned Java apps. Particularly mTorrent. cant be authorized because c=us;o=verisign, inc;ou=class 3 public primary certification is disabled.
Possible solution
The same happened to me when I first got the phone. I found a solution in this. First back up all your data from the SD Card. This is really important as yo will loose everything that's on the card. After, Format the SD Card to Fat 32.
Now import all the cabs to the SD Card and install them.
If for some reason you still cant get the to run try this cab. They are certificates that help overcome the security locks.
I have the same issue. Tried downloading/test a couple of different adroid builds and after a restart found the file "is not singed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found."
Cab install - solved
Had issues with this previously. Had to do a hard reset with the power + up/down volume buttons at startup.
This corrected the issues with cabs being locked out.
