SPB Pocket Plus 3 & K-Jam

I installed Pocket Plus 3 yesterday and foudn that it slowed the k-jam down consdierabley. I then tried uninstalling it. Strange thing happened:
Didn't uninstall cleanly, kept asking to soft reset and then tried to uninstall again.
When i cancelled, i found that when I click on the start button, I only see:
today
Pocket MSN
Interactive
Programmes
nothing else!!
Comms & voice dial button can't find the shortcut. phone works but can't access any of the settings or my documents
Tried to:
soft reset: no joy
Hard reset by holding down the comms & voice button and soft reset: no joy
Can anyone offer any advice?
Thanks.

I had a similar issue. Pocket Plus wouldn't soft reset, in the end I had to hard reset and install everything again.
I've opted for different software that does the things I like (Wisbar for real close funtions and iLauncher for big icons on the Today screen)
Col

Yep - me too. I had to remove Pocket Plus 3 in the end as it always hung the k-Jam on soft reset.
I have mailed the support guys and they are looking into it.
meantime I am using alternatives as this is a major problem - even more so as I can't find a backup utility that works (Sprite Backup doesn't) and a hard reset means u need to start all over again

Thanks. I had to do a hard reset to get up and going again.
Does anyone know how to enlarge the Ilauncher icons on the today screen so I can access them with my stubby fingers rather than the stylus?
Thanks.

I think the soft reset problem is caused by the safe mode boot facility on SPB. I unchecked that and it soft resets fine.

iLauncher
In settings when you choose shortcuts you have a check box for large icons. Also there is a setting for default large icons.

I must look at these menu's more :wink: Will try that .. Thanks

So is SPB 3 working fine for you now you've unchecked the safe mode?

Mine is working fine!
Have made about 10 softreset in 2 days of 3.0.1
ALL OK! :lol:

yep, tried it now and its fine.
Thanks

third hard reset and i can´t install the pocket plus , on direct installation, or by cab ... nothing

I found the one major slowdown with SPB PP is when you use a memory meter on the today screen (Showing either main memory of CF card etc). When I removed this I noticed an improvement...

well i´ll wait a new version

What about the battery meter? does that make a difference foryou too?

SAFE MODE is tha problem... uncheked it after finish setup and you will be fine 8)

3.0.1 is out now - they say it solves safe mode problem on Wizard

I installed 3.01 and still had to hard reset my k-jam as i couldnt get past the lockups at boot. However, i have installed 3.0.3 (released 14 Oct) and forgot to re-uncheck safe mode before i did a soft reset and it now boots properly with safe mode enabled.

For backup, you can use sunnysoft backup manager. works fine with WM5.

it´s sure ?¿?
backup ?¿?

Hi, i have a prototype of the wizard.
My problem is that i installed spb pocket plus.
Then the wizard refuse too boot.
I cannot make a hard reset, when i hold comm butoon + voie button + soft reset nothing happens.
Anyone have a clue please ?

pRSSreader causes Universal to hang

Along with the known issue about the overwrited dll causing a white second bootscreen, here's another one:
The settings I used with the currently latest pRSSreader (today plugin activated, automatic updates every 1 hour, and showing news headers 'rolling' in the today plugin) causes to freeze the Universal.
When I then soft reset the device it keeps freezing after a few seconds, going to either the ActiveSync or Comm Manager screen with softkey options "Hide Keyboard" and "Exit" at the bottom bar.
Soft resetting is the only thing left at that moment but after the boot it just goes hanging again. A hard reset and restoring a backup (the one before pRSSreader was installed) is my solution.
I am using Midget's Vanilla 0.1 Crossbow, so I even tried re-flashing to Windows Mobile 5.0 to see what pRSSreader would do, but guess what: THE SAME TROUBLE!!
Still I think that pRSSreader is the best feeder available (also free!) and I'd like to use the software, so is anyone aware of the solution to this?
Thanks!!

Someone the same experience?

Forcing a Today Screen Refresh with Plugins

I've noticed that when I add or remove a today screen plugin, the change doesn't take effect until I soft reset. I don't believe this is normal and its caused by some app or tweak I have done.
I have tried using Mortscript to force a refresh as well a freeware app called TodayRefreshCmd, but nothing seems to work short of a soft reset. I have removed all today plugins, rebooted and tried to add one like "Owner Info" and it won't show up either.
Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it?

Yes Iam experiencing it. I am using a black majik rom but this did not happen before, i upgraded to black satin and now back to black majik, and later i tried to play around with the different kaiser home plug ins and now i notice whenever i try to change a background image on the today screen or any plug ins to on and off the change doesn't reflect instantly like it did before unless you do a soft reset.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks

I restored a previous backup and the problem was not there. I was using an app called HTCustom that Shadomite created for another HTC device that did different hacks for. I think that was the culprit.
If you installed any similar "Hacks" app then it may be the cause.

i had the same problem when x-button 1.5 was installed
the min i removed it big boost in system performance

Comm Manager - display not showing

Help, I'm not sure what I've done but when I start comm manager, the menu buttons show but the screen display does not!
I've tried downloading 3rd party app replacements but they don't seem to deal with the HD screen - part of them show on screen but the rest of the screen shows the background.
Can anyone help, please!
thanks
Paul

..............

Got into the same problem a couple of week back after installing and uninstalling 15-tab TF3D.
What did you do to get there?
My only way out short of a complete reset was to install "mROM Opal Diamond Comm Manager". Google it.
This is less than optimum as there is some problems with the display but gets you going.
If someone has a proper answer, thanks to let us know!!

I too have this problem which I assume was caused after I tried out Panosa's COMMS manager tab. I'm sure this must just be a DLL or something that has been over-written and can be restored but we need the help of an expert to point this out.
Panosa, is there anything that you overwrite that needs to be restored for COMMS manager?

Thanks. That kind of fixes it. I now have 2 com manager shortcuts. Both "appear" to lead to the same app but, one works and one doesn't!
As you say, if anyone has a better answer, please do let us know!

OK, found the problem. WHen there are more than six items selected for the comm manager, it cannot show them as on/off buttons. It defaults to LARGE buttons on the screen but the problem is that there is a bug with Manila and the background page is transparent.
SOLUTION: download schaps advanced config 3.3. In the MENU | MORE SETTINGS | COMM MANAGER, ensure that only six (max) items are selected. Then change the BUTTON STYLE to ON/OFF and voila... a normal Comms Manager returns.
My only problem now is that with all my messing about trying to get this right My 3G button appears to have lost it's icon ... and functionality

First class help- Many thanks. That does solve the problem. Well done.
Hope your 3G comes back soon.
Happy new year!!!

as golightlygl said : it seems that on touch HD the 3g functionnality of comm manager doesnt work. When clicking on the button it doesn't do anything. I've been searching on the net net for quite a moment now and I didn't find an solution.
Someone has an idea ?

Hi...
I'm using the nsroum ROM (the one without CHT) and I installed the CHT 2.0 and haven't any problem!!!
Try to us the rom without CHT and then after all your installation and programs and any other customization install CHT 2.0.
preferably disable Sense before install but it can be installed without disabling Sens
1. Install CHT
2. Install HVGA Port of CHT
3. Install CHT Editor
4. Soft Reset
5. Enjoy!!!
(if you install any customization in CHT it's better to reinstall the HVGA Port again)

do u mean that i must install a non-HVGA CHT first and then the HVGA?

or maybe you can upgrade yoiur phone to the htc rom.There is a link from gabbana in "rom developpemnt"

Thank you emrause! The hole think is working just beautifull now!

Another thing... Sometimes, after pressing the Customize Lockscreen (or somth like that)
the phone goes on standby by itself every 10 secs and i can't use anything...
Any ideas?
Edit: It changes by itself the "Dim Backlight if device is not used for:" <<10 sec>> too...
It always changes...

I have another issue with the CHT v2 in the HTC HD Mini. Using the english language of my rom (anmatheextreme), I can apply any wallpaper without any issues, but when I use my rom's Greek version and nsourm's, it won't apply it correctly. Specifically, when I select a wallpaper other than the default black, The CHT apply a white wallpaper to the whole Sense. I also tried using the no cookie's home tab roms and install CHT later, but the same thing happens. This is not an issue of the HVGA Port or the language packs, because I just tried the same thing, but with installing only the CHT v2 and nothing else. Does any1 have a solution?

take out the battery to turn off.
then push volume UP and volume DOWN together and press power button (don't release the volume UP & DOWN until seeing a screen with instructions)
follow the instruction to hard reset your device.
