Opera "changes" panel back to default - XPERIA X1 General

Hey,
after I deinstalled the buggy version of Opera 9.7 turbo my Xperia automatically changes back to the default panel of WM whenever I quit my Opera 9.5 .
Can anyone help me or at least tell me how to deinstall Opera 9.5, I can not find it and even SKTools does not show it.
Thank you guys very much in advance.

So SKTools sucks
I use Total Commander.
Anyway maybe you have looked in a wrong way,
Opera.exe is in Windows folder.

method doesn't work, in fact it stays the same when you install Opera again.
This f**cking phone really starts to p**s me off. It is too quiet, the vibration doesn't vibrate and if you want to make a clean installation of WM 6 WITHOUT useless stuff from SE it is simply not possible.
This is the first phone from WM/SE where I need to do a hard reset every week because it crashes.

About the clean install... You may try custom roms

Doesn't work either, I tried to install the HTC Blackstone rom. The Windows Sync turns off as soon as the programme wants to start to install the rom on the device. I guess you don't have a good answer for that kind of problem. Let's just face it, this phone is a total mess up.
Even SE itself said it was just an experiment and HTC didn't want to hand in a great phone as they want to sell their one. So I suppose the new iPhone 3Gs seems to be way better, I mean to that point SE wasn't able to get a stock ticker panel (but they call it a business device, yeah for sure)...

Which blackstone rom did you try to flash???

That one

I am sure you are the kind of people who will try to feed a diesel engine with gasoline...
Will it work??? No!!!
So try to flash your phone with a true X1 cooked rom before yelling about it...
Go in the good section and you will find what you want
To be sure: don't forgot to HardSPL your phone before flashing

SPB Mobile 1.0 and now also 1.5.0 beta 2 - Lack of sound & restart issues

I know it's been mentioned before regarding an incompatibility between SPB Mobile 1.0 and the Ameo, but I thought that this might have been rectified by 1.5.. unfortunately not...
Unless I'm missing a trick that someone else has worked out...??
The application works okay for a while but if I fiddle with the NOW screen too much I end up muting the phone's speaker, regardless on the volume setting... has anyone worked out a way around this?
Also, it has the same glitch that Pocket Plus has where occasionally, but more often than not, if loaded and you soft-reset the device, the device will go into a crazed loop, showing the boot screens, then flashing the today screen (blank) then repeating the boot screens and so on....

That's the exact reason I uninstalled it from 3 devices we have in the family. Not worth purchasing until issues fully resolved.
i have it in spb pocket plus
no probleme over all
i think that there's some problem (i see it when using profiles)
but i don't know if it's spb phone suite that makes it
my X7500 is stable, but i have tu reset it some time ( it freezes using it in differrent cases), but i don't know if it is the x7500 rom or any of my installed software
over all it's like all pocket pc i had , it run very very good at star with no program instaled, then the program you instal, the less stable and slower it become
but what to do ? instal or not instal programs ?

Whether you install them or not depends on how valuable the software is to you. To me I would like to have it on there, but I work shifts and sometimes need to get up early hours, without sound on my device I wouldn't hear the alarms.... so can't risk it :-(
"Get an alarm clock"... why should I? It's a feature on the phone, don't buy an all singing all dancing phone then tell it to stop singing :-D
Ive been late for work once because my phone crashed.
I avoid anything that could cause problems on it now!
I agree, you get something that can do everything so you can use it for everything! I like being able to set different alarms on different days, with different sounds etc. Not many alarm clocks are that configurable.
"I agree, you get something that can do everything so you can use it for everything!
"
exactly !!
and X7500 is clearly not very stable (but is it rom or instaled programmes that makes it unstable?)
i had one time the same probleme, with no reason (the x7500 was sleeping in the hall) it freeze/crash at 23h59 !!
???
for chance i had no important appointment this morning !!
so from this day i close all programs , and just let spb alarm
no probleme then
but it's crazy we've got the best device that exists and we can not trust it !!!
talking about spb phone suite, for myself i find it very usefull
(excuse my bad english)

the problem is SPB PLus

Unfortuantely it's not just SPB Plus, it's also Mobile and a few others in their suite :-(
I have lots of programs installed, but NO today plugins etc. No spb apps, no launchers or Wizbars etc.
Its totally stable like this. It DOES NOT crash.
When I start adding today apps and stuff it starts to crash, even when I started the HTCHomePlug app, the phone kept crashing. Turning that off fixed it.
hard reset, dont install anything, its totally stable.

Yeah, that's true, but I got the item to use it... to me that's like buying a computer, and not installing any applications on it. If I wanted a phone that just called and text I'd get a Nokia.

you just said everything that is needing to say about pocket pc
great, thank
I didnt say dont install apps! I install apps on my PPC and PC, they both work.
What I dont do is install hacks that change major operating system features. Like third party skin/launchers ala Wisbar Advance etc.
Im not knocking WA or its ilk, I just think when you start hacking into the os in that way you are bound to sacrifice stability. There is no was the coders can know everything they need to about Windows, MS just wont let them.
If its important to have your phone working 100%, be carefull what you install, same as with a PC. If its THAT important, then by all means get a nokia and a separate PPC.
If your happy with the fact it will crash randomly, then thats fine too.
I mainly brought this up to point out to all the people knocking WM5 and MS for the Windows Mobile OS, its not their fault! its the third party apps making it unstable. The rom, as shipped is solid.

Sorry, but I disagree with this point.
I have had several models of most of T-Mobiles MDA range and two of the Ameo. I've had to return Compact III handsets, which just have factory settings due to ROM stability issues, mainly a crash loop.
You rarely get a ROM that is 100% stable, especially from a UK network provider, due to the provider hitting the point that you quiet rightly stressed, by them adding their third party settings, applications and tweaks.
Most providers want to brand the phone with their identity, which causes instabilities, but these edits are on the shipped ROM release, not something which the typical end user can modify. Bringing me back to my point, the ROM as shipped, is not always great in itself either.

Ha ha, this goes to show how wierd things could become.
I do not have this problem with SPB plus. It works wonderfully. It has not even once reset in a loop. Stange?? However, when I tried SPB mobile, it did caused very strange behaviour, and I uninstalled it immediately.
I use SPB plus with magic button and they complement each other very nicely. SPB plus lets me lauch all applications from today screen. Once launched, magic button let it stay on the task bar, and I simply click on the task bar to switch between application. It is very stable. I have about 30 different applications installed in my device. All very stable. No issue with SPB pocket plus and can't live without it.

Laptop Replacement

Hello I have just recently began looking into the idea of a UMPC. I look at the stats on these and they seem decent at least some of them with 1 gig of ram and what not. Can these devices function as a laptop/desktop/pda replacement or have they not made it that far yet?
Device is intresting but it is no voice capable and no built GPS

It has now been confirmed that the shift can make voice calls.
See the thread in the Athena forum for a link to a new video showing the phone pad on the shift.
ive seen a UMPC with the built in GPS and the voice functionality. Im just asking if this can run all the programs that a pc can. Like will i be able to active snyc a PPC. I have stumbled upon an interesting site that has quite a bit of affordable UMPCs...
http://www.dynamism.com/htc-shift/pricing.shtml
Shift is a bit pricey on this site.
Hell no!
It's a glorified comms device - that's all.
If you think even a little bit that it can replace even a fraction of your PC usage, you're gonna be very dissapointed and waste a ton of cash.
Office apps are extremely limited, and non-PPC software is simply a no-no.
This was much covered in the days of the Universal, and things have not improved much I'm afraid.
Forget it! Can't be clearer.
"Office apps are extremely limited, and non-PPC software is simply a no-no."
if it's running vista non ppc software should be no prob
of cause aero would not work nor any apps which required any kind of directx stuff

do you really think it will make WM6 and phone working ? I'm so sad to see that there is no ability to receive and give calls... and no ability to have WM applications .. it's so sad that the "fake WM6" is just like a wallpaper and a mail reader and nothing more

just check out the athena upgrading forums and read the thread on shift making phone calls
Even if it does not make phone calls out of the box, It will probably be hackable after a few weeks.
If HTC decided to put SnapVue because of marketing reason, there should be a full rom floating somewhere. It's impossible they didn't try one at first stage of development.
If it's for technical reason, then the problem certainly lie in the component sharing between the PPC part and vista. These component are:
Wifi: Must be shared and will probably be a problem to activate on both side. We must find a way to alternate it's switch.
Bluetooth: Same as wifi, but may support dual access as bluetooth can set up multiple connections
GPS: If it's desactivated, there will be the same work as for the artemys hopefully
SnapVue is a WM6 system trying to limit itself. It's not a real operating system build from ground. I'm sure it is crying to go back to normal WM6 state once we add the necessary system files.

wow u guys are living under rocks or something? the athena's snapvue is like the htc home plugin. go into the athena mobile 6 forum. i have it included as a addon for the athena. the athena will have a phone AND gps. yes me and oli have access to the rom. has been mentioned before. no you can't have it. it can go back to normal wm6. disable the plugin in settings and change the tsk. you can also get the menu back and stuff. this can be done by i guess running the cab for athena. the original cab we made during development had the startmenu and all gone. it was built into the dlls to hide softkeys and start menu. if u run the cab i believe all will be back. if u guys want a rom for shift. u know where to find me.

well..... I'm not 100% convinced by everything .. the Shift I have used does not show anything in the SnapVue ... no IE, no explorer, ... nothing to be able to download a cab or to install a cab... maybe synchronizing ? but I think that it can't be synchronized ...... so how? .. I have seen 2 shifts and both were not able of reading SMS and receiving or giving a call.
I will keep tune in this thread since the phone is out this month .. and will see how it works for others... I hope we will be able to put a phone on it and GPS and anything else.... but I think even without that the HTC SHIFT issss the best choice for a small notebook and it is clearly THE BEST CHOICE for an umpc.

idk are u reading what i said correctly? I dont need to put phone or gps on it. IT HAS IT!! like i said if u run the cab it should open the windows up to have a start menu and all that. internet explorer and all that are in the phone. maybe they want u though to only have in wm6 what isnt in vista. if u think about it vista has ie and all that.

i'm not talking about ADDING a phone or a gps ... but about downloading "THE" cab you are talking about... and installing this cab.. I have used the Shift a little .. and it seems that there is no way to access the SnapVue ... just use the snapvue.. but impossible to see something behind it ... no explorer, no I.E. ... and I think that it can't be synchronized with a computer.
surely it would be possible to hard reset the snapview side and before customizations take place and install sbnap view soft reset then use total commander to get any other cabs from the extended rom that we need ??? (but ive not seen even a sample unit in the flesh i assume this is do_able?)

Sorry to bust your bubble but SnapVue is a part of the ROM... but so long as the device will happily sync away with Activesync, we should be in business.

Unlock Extended Rom

Hi there
I've just got my shiny new Touch HD. Wow - what an upgrade to my Orbit 1 (don't laugh). I loved my Orbit but this is so much better. It's not revolutionary, but everything has evolved so well i.e. the big screen, no horrible frame around the screen, USB 2 connection, love the Drive mode thingi when you plug it to your computer ect.
Only problem is I can't get TomTom to work - I'll sort that out later...
Now to the question - how do you unlock the extended rom (I think that what they call it)? I want to prevent the applications from installing i.e. TouchFlo Home Plugin after a hard reset. I find the combination of SPB Pocket Plus 4 Tabs, Today Agenda (and a few other apps.) a much better combination for me.
Hope someone can help.
Anis
Did you try a soft reset when the waiting screen pops up after a hard reset?
Why dont you just uncheck TouchFlo in Settings-Today?
Thanks for the replies.
Ideally I wouldn't want unwanted apps to install. I know it's a fast device but I like to have a clean system.
I could reset the device when it's about the install everything (don't even know how to reset) however I want to keep certain things like the Black HTC theme and a few other things.

Tried and failed - what did I do?

I just tried this last night and tried at multiple stages... and no matter what it insisted on installing all the bloatware. Any idea what I might be doing incorrectly?
When you say "wait screen" - do you mean the initial WinMo v6.1 green-splash screen, or the same display with "Please wait while we [something] for first time use"? I also tried at the Home screen before the customization begins, and while it was running... all still ended up with the software being installed. :/
I've read some great posts (here and Howard Forums) about using Total Commander and entering "\Extended Rom\" but that doesnt open anything on my device. Does that area need to be unlocked?
Thanks for any tips!
I think you need a custom Rom without all of the applications. I had one on my Omnia.
hmm...
typing "\Extended_Rom\" in total commander does not work.
those registry which hide/unhide and lock/unlock extended rom are not there too.
check the wiki, nothing about extended rom or customed rom which is meant for Service Provider specific.
Or is it because the HD I am having is tied to 1 provider, but it is already SIM unlocked which can use other providers SIM.
The original rom is lag, very lag, lots of rubbish in "\windows\" directory beside M$ original files.
How are the cooked roms around in the forum?

+1 for this plan. I'm running a lighter custom 6.5 rom (NRG) with none of the startup ui's. I've loaded Mobile shell#3 and it works very well. Quickest combo I've found so far for snappy-ness and speed. Battery life is fine with it. Try diff light roms without the startup bloatware and you may find something that you like.

Essential fixes for the Xperia X1

Hi all!
I`m new to this excellent board, even though I`ve been lurking for years. Lots of really skilled people here, awesome.
Anyways, as I`m waiting for my new Xperia I wondered if someone could put together a list of "essential" xperia fixes/add-ons/software, i.e. stuff that should be done right out of the box sort to say?
Nothing I hate more than to use a toy like this for a few months only to then stumble across a fix for something I`ve annoyed myself half to death over.
If such a list already exists, please disregard this post.
N.B: I noticed the sticky list of fixes and tweaks above, just wondered which of these were essential for the basic functions/performance of the handset.
well basicly the X1 just works.
i found my original rom work realy stable but it was also kinda slow. tried some updates and fixes which work but none of them was essential.
flashed a new rom yesterday and i have to say .. wow its like 2 times faster now but also 4x more unstable and acts kinda strange from time to time.
so in short, nothing is needed, all can be done

what rom did u flash to?
Thanks for reply!
But 2x faster, thats kindof a big deal, isn`t it? Especially given that the main letdown of the Xperia (based on the reviews I`ve read) is that it suffers of the typical WM6-lag?
Are there no official OS or ROM-updates from SE (planned or released) that handles these issues? I presume that there`s much potential to unlock just by optimalizing these things?

Touch-IT 2.1
but the Opera is pretty messed up plus it hangs from time to time with no reason (simple task closing seems to be enough)
gonna try 2.2 tonight but i dont have much faith
@Doderlei
non official ROM. just keep in mind that if u flash those none official ones u usualy break something else. it is faster indeed, panel switching doesnt have any lag for me now but i dont use panels anyway. also my vodfone internet connection acts strange. IE works fine but the Opera wont open any site unless i set a proxy. my (hard)keyboard is missing the space key when using putty and so on.
Well I don't tweak my device since I rather don't do these things, try to have my device as clean as possible, and those tweaks are always a bit dangerous - IMO...
But for me ESSENTIAL was to install FlashLite 3.1 and YouTube. That added a lot of functionality.
Also, as well as there are still some email sending problems (WM generally), I installed WM email hotfix, and also ProfiMail mail application.
Also immediatley upgraded Google Maps to 2.3 (original od device: 2.1).

No offense but I don't know how you can claim 2x faster. I have tried all the ROMs here and none seems to feel 2x faster. Even if they were faster, the difference was minimal.
in my opinion if u really want manila kind of interface then only install new rom as manila, tf3d doesn't work in landscape. as Dom said keep it as clean as possible. certain other must do are-
- do all your experiments in begninig of installing or trying apps and then hard reset and clean install all apps which u think u required and working well.
- use cleaning tools like cleartemp req very less memory
- always have backup of device with all settings whenever u feel that your phone is in
best state.spritebackup is recommended.
- separately u may use pim backup utilty for fast backup of pim.
- apply file cache and font cache tweak and clsid tweak as discussed in Martin thread it will significantly imrove speed of x1

i had an official Vodafone germany rom before.
pressing the panel button took me like 2 seconds till something happend. switching a panel took like 3-8 seconds. opening opera took up to 10 seconds and opening webpages was realy slow.
i did some tweaks then (increasing caache, installed SD tuner, etc) and it turn to be a little faster. but still nothing impressive.
believe me if i say that the touch-IT ROM is like 2 times faster. hecks its 4 times faster
but that could be an all messed up Vodafone ROM. and we all know VF tends to mess up ROMs

they do? curses... i ordered mine from the UK, and it said it was vodafone-brand (even though it is unlocked to all networks and carriers). does that mean i oughta flash the ROM to something else ASAP?
vodafone usualy locks features, blocks services, adds own software and so on.
WLAN f.e. didnt work with messenger and a few other services. just so u have a reason to buy their messenger flatrates or web traffic. my n95 had the same problems and most of my other vodafone branded one too. its kinda easy to override those brandings in windows mobile, but its also anoying.
you dont need to flash ur phone, but i have to say ... the touch-it is realy freakin fast. just reflashed cmEX GER and its noticable slower. but its german hehe ^^

Thanks, I have seen that, but that is not really a fix. It just checks every few minutes and turns BT back on if its off. Bluetooth shouldnt be shutting off in the first place, especially while I am using it. Is this a problem with all ROMs?

Can be a bad setting that create those crashes.? what's your opinion.?
The cause of this problem is \Windows\htcapi.dll. Uninstall the program that put it there and you'll be fine. Or just delete the file. If it came with a custom ROM rename it to something like htcapi.dll.bak.

This .dll is attached on other critical component inside the PDA or i can change the extension without any problem .?
It's not part of stock ROM, doesn't exist in your device as it comes from HTC. It's added by some programs like "Diamond Hologram", some tweaks intended for "optimizing" device performance, and sometimes ROM chefs include it in their custom ROMs. So if you get rid of it some programs will stop working. I've never seen an important program use it though, so it's safe to at least try. The problem with this dll is that it's taken from some other devices and isn't made for HD.

Ok i've changed the extension and soft reset..the browser seems to be ok now.! i've tryed to open/closed 3 or 4 times and the phone won't crash..! amazing.! but, why this .dll create this conflict with opera.?
I have no idea why this conflict exists, but generally if you take a driver from one device and try to use it on another you're asking for trouble.

Oh is right.! have you seen that in April will go out Touch HD 2.? the camera will have flash.! but i think that the Touch hd 1 remain the good choice..what do you think about.?
This is completely off-topic, but yes, I think HD2 will be my next phone. And yes, HD is a very good device to my taste.
but i am having problems with opera in default rom which is from orange
and even updating with new orange rom opera is not stable especially after enabling plugin in settings of opera
its all with out tweeks and moding
I have no idea what that Orange ROM is like. If there htcapi.dll in \Windows? If yes, rename it and see if it helps.
Apart from that, what plugin are you trying to enable?

unable to find file htcapi.dll in windows folder
i do not have exact idea of these plugins(i believe it to be java ) but opera settings >advance settings have option to enable plugins
The fact that there is a setting doesn't mean you have to change it, especially when you don't know what you're doing. Just disable them and live happily ever after.

I use Total-Commander for find this library.dll in Windows folder because if you use the normal finder in the phone, it doesn't reveat the system's files (i think for a security prevenction)...try this and say us if you have solved..in any case be happy, we will find the cause of your problems
