I have been advised to delete the 'welcome' file on startup, but I cant seem to acsess the 'windows' file exploring thru activesync.

well since his touch screen doesnt work, how much more crippled can it get if he bypasses the align screen?
but i think you can just use your stylus and push the reset hole. I remember i had a big giant crack on my old MDA phone, so my touch screen was pretty messgaed up. And i was still able to flash it and hard reset it.
I think I either just popped the battery out or I did the pin hole reset.
If you cant pass the Align screen than most likely you are missing the drivers for the touchscreen interface,
If u're flashing ur own rom make sure there is a driver for the touchscreen included
quite simple:
create a file named "welcome.not" (just a empty file!) - copy it to the SD-card - reboot ...
does work on almost every device.
if it doesn't work on herald - try: http://www.codefactory.es/en/products.asp?id=244

Thank You Baal, I have tried what u said and its worked wonders.....Thank u again
wow
thanks baal...that welcome.not worked like a charm!
It's been over 2 years since this was posted. I've just come across the same problem with my Kaiser and the welcome.not trick still works! Excellent. I love this place.
Well, alternatively you could connect the wing to your computer, using activesync, then browse it using windows explorer, and delete the welcome file from the start up folder
Clipped Wings
Thanks guys... That welcome.not trick worked great!
Yup! "Welcome.not" worked here as well! Had a friend's Herald (T-Mobile "Wing") with a screwed-up touch screen that just wanted to use it as a phone until he can replace the screen, and I needed to do the T-Mobile ROM update on it to get it to make calls properly again. The ROM update triggered the Welcome thing, which started with none other than "Tap screen to set up your Windows Mobile device"! Well I can't tap the screen with a broken digitizer!
I tried removing "welcome.lnk" from \Windows\Startup, but that left the PPC in a horribly malfunctioning half-state, where the Start menu wouldn't appear, and only the Phone functionality worked. Restoring "welcome.lnk" and adding "welcome.not" to the MicroSD card worked perfectly. It brought up the "Welcome" screen but did not say "Tap screen..." - that text was just omitted from the screen, and about 10 seconds later, it took me to the Today screen! Woohoo!
I also found it hard to believe how incredibly usable a PPC is without using the touchscreen...! I installed a game, set up the phone, and played the game, all with the buttons.
I just replaced a screen in a Trinity (Dopod D810). The touchscreen initially wasn't calibrated correctly so I ran the alignment tool in the settings, and after a few attempts, I calibrated it properly and the touchscreen was working perfectly. Now the touchscreen is not working properly. The top half of the screen responds to touch, but no matter where I press in that region, the screen thinks I'm pressing the top-right corner. When I run the alignment again, it responds to all the touchpoints but it never successfully calibrates and it keeps bringing me back to the alignment screen.
The current settings in the registry entry for touch calibration are as follows:
484,558 244,286 263,815 750,820 707,295
I've found a few other threads here (the most helpful being http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355010) and I've tried the settings from that thread. The screen seems more responsive, but still not correct because the bottom half hardly responds and the top half seems to respond when it feels like it.
Can someone please post their D810 touchscreen settings so I can try it? I've tried the settings from my Touch Cruise, but the screen is still doing weird things.
This is a customer's phone so I need to have this fixed ASAP.
I'm thinking that it may be a faulty digitizer, but that won't explain why it worked perfectly when I first calibrated it.
*Edit: Finally got it to work! I just made a bunch of files named welcome.not & I guess one of them worked. Thanks for this valuable information!*
how did you create welcome.not

hmmm. Well I was trying the 2nd modaco link I posted and that would just get me a black screen after the grey one with the commands. Now I have tried the first modaco link and it gives me the same result but there is a slight difference. I hear music and I also see a white little number that keeps changing at the top left corner of the screen, and to the right ad faded x. Clicking the x does nothing, I have to softreset to get out of this.
Any ideas?
Thanks...

Just a couple of things to try.
Launch it with the keyboard already open.
The number and X are there correctly - though of course the initial graphic should be there as well.
The X which was designed to close the application was never enabled properly at least in my version so tapping it will to nothing.
So with it on the screen with the X - try hitting the return key once or twice and see what happens.
If you have no joy I can upload my version of it. Do you have your own version of the original game application on CD or did you use the freely available one?

I am using the duke3d.grp file from the full version atomic editon. Yes I still have my cd that I purchased long ago lol.
Well anyway, I am sorry I did not mention this before, but these are my phone specs:
HERM100 HTC 8525
FCC ID: NM8HERM100
ROM: vp3G's WM6 v3.62 AT&T ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342174
Also this is a fresh setup, meaning I am trying to get duke working right after I flashed vp3g's rom....
MIKECHANNON - thanks for your help. I have tried everything you suggested except for tapping the return key. I will try that now and post back results....
Ok i've tried pressing the return key now too and that had no effect. I did notice something interesting though. Before I would always just reset because I could not find a way to exit the black screen, but after messing around with the screen this time I found that I can drag the black screen down If I touch the top center portion of it. When I drage it down, it will act as a program window or something with a top drag bar and I can also see a working x there that I can click and it will close it out.
again my phone specs are:

changing controls
hey thx it works fine but can u edit the .con file to change the controls, specifically for changing weapons?
I was able to get it working on my treo pro by removing gapi but i cant go back. when i enter options menu i cant return =( can somebody please give a suggestion?
Hello,
I'm getting really excited about my HTC P4350 more and more. First I wanted to throw it away but since I started tweaking now 2 months. I got a series of questions.
1) Would it be faster in speed. To native install software like advanced config etc.
2) Where can I find a series of unlock screens?
==> S2U2 "iPhone-like Unlock Screen" = NO GOOD. Makes the HTC Freak
3) Anyone got a series of keyboards to replace the stupid looking standard one. So I can just type on the screen instead of using the pen. 'I installed one previously and it went fubar when i selected it it was just a white screen with no keyboard showing and another one i installed when i pressed the keys nothing happend.
4) Also I've installed "MotoV2Wing6.5" in previous ROM's I could install instantly the "cool" black bars instead of the classic. But with this rom they won't install, any suggestions. Also the blue skin wich is used in menu's "me no like" so I was hoping that could be turned into black.
5) After booting the splash screen and the boot screen there's a white window before the phone starts. Any idea how to get rid off that.
6) Like in windows OS there is the command line : msconfig, to select start up programs is there any way of leaving out programs to get the HTC to start up quicker.
7) The bootscreen and the splash screen. Are they both necessery will the phone be faster if you leave one of them out. And how you do that.
8) I saw on a pic that someone had changed the color of the keyboard is that possible without opening the htc?
9) And one of the most important questions. The keyboard I've download a dutch keyboard fix, since I think that I have a dutch P4350 (I think) but the fn keys are still showing up ****ed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366756). So my keyboard is like this.

That's the first line.
As final statement. I really support this forum, I like it very much it's kind to his users and very helpfull. I really want to stress 2 to respect the "Cooks" because what they do is Pwn Windows in everyway and they always want to build better and faster Rom's and that takes a lot of personal time. And I think what they do is really GREAT. So what I am tryin to say is.
THANKS A LOT!!! <3

as far as your keyboard goes there are 2 options that work fairly well one is imselector it can be found here no pics but you have several options for the type and style keyboard you want, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296455
another option is something that i just started to use and love it, its called fingerboard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677

I got a questions, the first screen is the splash screen or the boot screen?
Answer to 1)The ROM that you have chosen is inherintly slow because of the Moto Home stuff. They tax both the RAM and the processor terribly.
Answer to 2)Just use the lock screen that comes built in with WM6.5. It's simple and just works.
Answer to 5)That white box you see is some kind of error, re-flash to a different ROM or hard reset to make it go away.
Answer to 6)Just navigate using file explorer to ROOT\Windows\Startup and delete whatever you don't want to run at startup there. Please note that there may not be alot here, and most if not all of the HTC stuff NEEDS to run at bootup in order for your device to work.
Answer to 7)Yes, they are both neccesary. If you remove them, all you will see is a black screen for the same amount of time that you saw the splash screens. While these screens are shown, the OS is being loaded into RAM, so its a neccesary thing.
Answer to 8)No, you cannot change the color of your keyboard without taking it out of your device.
Answer to 11)PHM Registry editor. Its small and just works.
boot screen then splash screen
Tried and tested.
EDIT: ARGH i just realised that i messed up somewhere in my upload, after menu it reverts to VGA with blackened places where it doesnt cover WVGA. still playable tho. gimme a while to solve it, i must have mixed some thing up some where
EDIT 2: fixed
I got several mails requesting for the WVGA version of Warcraft 2 as seen at http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2008/04/free-games.html. Its simple really, all you need to do is edit the preference files and you got yourself WVGA.
I believe there are a few WVGA versions on XDA, and i tried them, and i've no idea what he did but damn that was laggy and choppy. rest assured this isnt the same file, and its smooth and perfectly playable. (take note WQVGA is probably possible as well, just download the QVGA version from my other link, and download these preference files, and edit the two preference files inside with notepad, pay attention to the resolution)
Download the WVGA version (fixed tilesets and everything, shud be perfectly fine now)
http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2009/11/warcraft-2-wvga-version-totally-smooth.html
(u get better performance if u switch off the sounds)
pfffft solved the problem. i accidentally left out the tiles for 480X800. Will update within 24 hours with the files, gotta sleep now.
its done. please leave a comment if u have any problems or if it works fine for u.

glad to know, both instant action and campaign works fine right?
I downloaded it from my computer and then extracted it onto my TP2 since it was not seeing it as a .rar file when I downloaded it directly from my TP2. I just ran it on Single player and works great Thanks for uploading War2.
I was just wondering if there was a certain method you guy's used to do the "Right click" where it directs the peon? For me to move them around I use the attack button haha. Also there's no way for us to build walls huh? I trapped a few peons while building stuff haha. Was just wondering, anyhow thanks again!
Played it.
Pretty fun. Runs smoothly. Crashed after I beat the first level, but that might just be due to memory usage.
It doesn't support hardware keyboard and lelt orientation (turns right landscape)!?
When clicking near the place of virtaul keyboard (hided by game), the HTC virtual keyborad binks with the game window...
I use the game on the WM6.5 FR HTC stock rom
what are the campaign and gzes rar files for?
Awesome!!!!
this is very cool!! it runs great on the Tmo Usa Tp2.
Hmm.. I was excited to see this and downloaded right away. It starts up fine but when I try to click on "Human campaign" it crashes. Any ideas?
does not support hardware keyboard. to save just overwrite one of the save files provided. save often and save twice in two different slots cuz sometimes it gets corrupted
@Jrun, no choice but to use the move and attack function. to avoid trapping units place your buildings carefully. this can be done by clicking on the building u wanna build, but duntap straight away on the screen. instead, drag your stylus and u'll see the outline to place your building.
@ed_bracam, no problems on my side with virtual keyboard. if u're starting the game from somewhere, where there was virtual keyboard, like in sms windows and u use some shortcut to start game, may happen.
to swicth left/right orientation, go to options and select "full screen". it'll switch orientation.
@perkins, i'm sorry but i and the others have no problems so it sounds like its your rom. check ram, and pagepool and redownload maybe your download is corrupted.
@hani, dun wrry bout them
Can't get it to work with custom rom, I get to the menu click on single, it load then crash. running off of my memory, do i have to run it ont he device?

Any chance of a manual?
The best should be support of the keyboard because it's not easy to play with the stilus only (you cannot win in hard mission because you develop too slow). If I remember, WC2 has a lot of keyboard shortcuts to play fast.
Ok, I am still new to my touch pro 2 and call me crazy but I don't want to flash the rom yet.
I'm trying to create a custom HDWalls wallpaper in landscape and portrait mode.
I need to to know the size(aspect ratio, width height) of each image (landscape and portrait) and I need to know if this even works for my stock t-mobile rom.
I got the phone only maybe 2-3 weeks ago.
When I make a cab from HDWall and install it (either manually or through HDWallS) It only loads the landsacpe picture. I've read a lot of posts and I want to know
1. Will this work for the stock rom.
2. What aspect ratios should I be using.
3. What settings should I be using in HDWall.
I've spent 3 entire days with mixed results trying to figure this out. Please someone help!
(also) here are some methods I've tried, and the only thing I can come down to is the aspect ratio is wrong?
I've tried chainging the config of WM 6.5 - No Compression - Etc.
Tried 480 x 800
tried my own res
tried 1333 x 800
Tried the Auto Crop
And editing my reg, my today settings. nothing gives me the portrait image. and nothing displays my current landscape(the last one I updated.)
It never works! I'm sad because it's posted here in the TP2 area...and it seems to work?
Did you post your question in one of the HDWall posts? Seems to be a better place to find your answer. Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529576&highlight=hdwall, or maybe even http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511&highlight=hdwall.
Well, still no luck at all. I've had a little bit of luck that seems to have only lasted a few days using a cab I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4517735&postcount=9
But now that's stopped working. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that doesn't seem to work because it doesn't uninstall all the way(I Think because TF3D is still running). I can't believe that something so simple is giving me such a head ache
Any suggestions?
You can test by install 1 of the cab post from this thread to see if it work for you?

One more thing. I don't personally get this problem, but if the picture doesn't load on the home tab, but all the other tabs are ok, you will need to clear the following 3 values in the registry (after the first install):
In HKCU/Software/HTC/manilla/
clear the value of
1: Cachedbackgroundpath
2: DefaultHomeBackgroundPath
3: HomeBackgroundPath
