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

Try this one:
HTC X Button (Task Manager)
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?
Mike

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

cabs extracted from diamond2

i have installed this nice keyboard HTC EzInput v.2.0 and when i tryed to uninstall it i had a very unpleasent surprise: the standard keyboard of HD dissapeared
in fact every option involving keys vanished
i could not restore my keyboard despite anything i tryed
can somebody suggest a solution to that?
similar thing with htc calculator, cute indeed, but it manage to make my device extremely slow and i ended to hard reset my HD in order to get rid of the damn thing
another example is the htc album2 by smaberg that i can't uninstall from my device or htc album v.2.5. or v.3.0 (i don't remember who made those)
v.2.5. remains in vga mode if you open camera and try to launch album from there and v.3.0 doesn't even start on my HD
i don't want to hard reset my device again, because i just did that 3 days ago, and i took a whole day to restore everything back, so, i kindly ask any of you to suggest following:
1. how to restore my original keyboard(s) back - MOST IMPORTANT
2. how to uninstall smaberg album
3. how to get the full use of the new album application
i am kindda of p****d of these cabs extracted from diamond2 or other new devices because they don't seems to work right with hd and i want to warn you on these matters
i fully appreciate the work of the skilled people who manage to produce tose applications for the rest of us, and i thank them for the efforts, but it seems that it need some more fine tuning before release them on the wild
cheers to everybody!

1. Download the normal htc keyboard in this post (5th item in list): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3317998&postcount=3
Should work
Not sure about the others sorry.

thank you xmsnx for tip, but i can't install it
i uninstalled ex keyboard, i deleted a lot of things, no matter what i did, each time i've got the same message:
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or settings cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
what is that and how can i overcome it?
btw, i managed to uninstall smaberg album with sktools, so point 2 - checked

Install a process/task manager, and kill the SIPGT_app.exe process and try again. Worked for me once before when I had a prob with the keyboard. Hope it helps.

it worked!
now i am not so pleased because keyboard, being a cab, takes space from my memory
but i will learn to live with that untill the next hard reset that our too delicate piece of .... (art, watch out what your thinking) it seems to need from time to time
thank you again! you are the man!

No touchflo when booting

Hi there,
I've searched the forum but could not find this problem yet.
90% out of the time when I boot the sytem it does not start the touchflo software. I need to reboot it again after which it does start.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Cbx.

Same for me.. but for 50%.
I suspect S2U2 or maybe the SIM pincode form to make troubles with touchflo

Sounds weired but open the keyboard and type your pin in landscape mode. Don´t know why but it works

I have found this to work.
Put the device in Airplane Mode before you reboot. It works for me.

I have put an manila.exe shortcut on windows/startup folder.
Now all´s working fine.
By the way, this is a great piece of hardware.

Hmm,strange, never happened to me before, has been using more than 1 month now. Restart many times, and TouchFlo still start normal.
Maybe you have to many third party software installed :>

Same problem here.
Already posted in lots of threads around, looking for an answer. I even hardreset the device trying to isolate the problem. At first I thought it would be s2u2, but then I found that Max TTM places a "shake" program in the startup folder. After removing it, the device started loading TF3D fine (most of the time).
Since it happened again already once, my conclusion is that neither the shake program nor s2u2 are the true softwares to blame. I think it is something in my startup folder tho.

I had the same problem..
And i solved it, by uninstalling S2U2 I really like S2U2 but i had to uninstall this to get TF3D working directly.
This is what happened to me in detail:
1: Installed S2U2 > Reboot > TF3D Won't Boot
2: Reboot > TF3D Won't Boot
3: Reboot > TF3D Won't Boot
4: Reboot > TF3D Boots
Every 3 resets TF3D boots, otherwise nothing will happen.
When uninstalling S2U2 everything was fine.

Since I'm a total N00B, can someone tell me how I can do this?
I'm glad by the way that I am not the only one woth this problem
Thanks again

I've found that if I put my PIN fix in the Phone settings so you don't need to enter it anymore upon booting the phone TF3D always launches...
And must say, when I use shortcuts to reset the device it won't boot neither, but when I shut down the phone and start it again it starts...

Ok, I think I just spoke too early. I give up.
Already thought that S2U2 was causing the problem. Thought it was Max TTM... but thing is, after using the manila.exe shortcut, the clock doesn´t work anymore (it gets the time when it booted but stays there).
So, basically, add me to the ones that have this problem. Tbh, I guess I´ll just hardreset the phone right now. Argh!

Hiho and hello to everybody (1st Post )
I have the same problem but with my TP2 it helps disconecting the phone from the cabel. The last 20 resets TF is starting.
Hope this will help you.
Balu

since i installed MAX TTM i have this problem! even if i launch it from \windows\manila.exe...time doesnt work...

In FileExplorer you tap and hold the manila.exe file in the \Windows folder. In the pop up menu you choose copy. Then move to the \Windows\StartUp folder and tap and hold in a blank spot. Choose paste shortcut in the pop up menu. That's it, or at least one way to do it.
I don't think manila.exe is a hidden systemfile, unless the entire \Windows folder is hidden. Then you will have go to options and tic the show hidden files.

Same thing with touchflo. It doesn´t work. Any modificaion causes problems with tf3.
The method with starting in flight modus works fine and another method with entering PIN with hardware-keyboard works too. I think there is a bug with PIN-keyboard and i hope it will be patched. Anyway i´ve heard win 6.5 coming soon as an oficial update and then... maybe this tf3 problem will not be relevant for us.
I hope it´s sounds english enough to understand it.

Same problem.
I solved deleting the cleartemp startup shotcurt on windows/startup.

How many of you guys/girls, have the 1% battery cab installed?

I have same problem , but before install the 1% battery cab.

Also have 1%Battery thing, but had the problem before.
I feel, that if I wait a few seconds before typing in the pin until all icons in the upper right corner are present, booting touchflo3d works fine.
Please try!

Unable to Launch HTC Sense

Hey guys,
Right now my Leo is unable to launch HTC sense after I did a soft-reset after modifying the registry "Change - CacheSize to 4096" gotten from the Leo Hints & Tips thread as well as uninstalling Nimbuzz.
Also I also created a shortcut for Task Manager to put into the start menu and added it to the Manilla shortcut at the main page.
A couple of soft-resets still doesn't solve it, and sometimes it will say tap here to start HTC Sense but tapping doesn't do anything. Able to open the dialing menu but takes quite awhile.
Pressing the contacts menu gives the error message "The file "contacts" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted cert, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
Any ideas?

Got the same problem.
Duttys HD Holy Grail
I tried to reinstall the rom but I can't connect with usb.
did you try that?

same problem here.
rom is 1.48 from stock.

also had the unable to launch sense error, couldnt find a way to solve it so i had to hard reset (AGAIN!!)
having to link 90 contacts with facebook manually sucks!

Does anyone have been able to solve this problem? I faced it today, I was doing some tweaks to my HD2, did some soft resets but then sudenlly it stops working, Sense freezes and has been unable to launch it, sometimes I can access to start menu but I can't load anthing, every link I tried to open tells me that the file cannot be opened either it's not signed or one of its components cannot be found. Nothing but the phone can be opened.
My rom is 1.48 stock.
Is the only solution for this a hard reset?

I faced similar problem before if I added the tweak of FATFS=4096. I did "hard reset" and then reinstalled all stuffs. I reinstalled all programs and readded the tweaks except FATFS one. The phone resumes normal.
It seems to me that the tweak of FATFS may not work on HD2.

Yes, actually I managed to remove that tweak without hard reset it, reverted it to FATFS=0 and everything came back to normal, my HD2 is now like it was before.
We MUST warn every HD2 owner to not apply this tweak.

I've cautioned this particular tweak on the main thread before.
changing the FATFS would hanged the HD2 (ROM: 1.48 Asia Region) and you'll need to hard reset to revert to the default settings.

Ohhh I didn't see that...
Thanks calyon!

HOw you do that?!

First I disabled HTC Sense from Home, then I move to the top of the start menu the registry editor (in my case it's SKTools Registry Explorer), then I turned it off and on several times and every time I tried to run the registry editor, when I was unable to run it I turned it off and on again, until I was able to run the registry editor, then navigated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS and changed back the FATFS to 0.
I don't know how many times I've had to turn it on and off, but I thinks it's better than do a hard reset, specially if you don't have a backup or your data.

I confirm... This is working!
(considering you have a reg editor already installed of course)
Thank you very much vhjc... you saved all of us lots of painfull time!

Hello,
I just changed the FATFS registry value to 4096 based on the tweaks hint & tips and now my HD2 hangs and couldn't launch the HTC Sense app. Reading the responses above, it seems that it's possible to disable HTC Sense from Today setting in this kind of condition. However no matter how I tried to click on the "Setting" icon on the Start Menu screen, I only got the error window saying that the program is missing and we need to restore or reinstall... I couldn't connect the device to my laptop thru activesync to remove the registry since the activesync app (the switcher between storage device & activesync window) failed to load as well...
Could you please share how did you manage to go to the Today setting window to disable the HTC Sense? I couldn't see any other options since no other shortcuts are available, nor I can run any app from the start menu Is there a way to load HD2 standard WinMo OS in safe mode only...?
I'm really desperate on this situation and as much as possible I don't wanna hard reset my HD2 since I haven't done any backup yet...
Please help... Thank you very much in advance!
cheers

Im getting the unable to launch htc sense message too, even after a hard reset the problem re-occurs. can anyone advise me what to do??

Sorry, should have mentioned this above, I have not changed the registry setting of fatfs to anything other than 0, so this is not whats causing this problem for me. I have tried using a reg editor ro confirm the setting is 0 still no luck.
before the problem occurs i get an error reporting message saying theres been a problem with manila.exe
Any help pleeeease....

Literally just in the last hour or so?
Something very odd is going on here...

The same happened to mine 2 hours ago. Didnt make any changes to the device or installed any software etc Tried soft resets but no joy
Im considering a hard reset unless someone has a fix please

Mine has done exactly the same thing!! was working fine earlier on the way home from work, went to check it about 6pm and it had locked saying a problem with Manilla.exe had occurred... couldn't get it to do anything so took out the battery and ever since HTC sense wont load..
Everything seems fine, al programs work, phone is ok etc just sense wont load, was just about to do a hard reset after backing up data and removing card when i read this post so stopped...
Has anyone else had this?....

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
