Apps compatible with 6.1

Hey guys,
So I managed to flash to the "official", but not yet released radio and Rom. GPS is working, Sprint TV is working, and Rev A as well. Life is good.
However, I tried to install the Home Customizer and it locked up my phone as soon as I booted up. Eventually, I had to just do a hard reset and re-do all my settings. So that got me thinking...is there a list anywhere of which programs are confirmed as being compatible with the new Rom and WM 6.1?
I know I've seen a thread like this before, but can't find one specifically about WM 6.1 and the new ROMs....for those of you who have upgraded, what are your current must-have programs? Right now all I really have is Google Maps.
If this ground has already been covered, forgive me...I did search some before posting.

the only program that i used that doesnt currently work with wm 6.1 is skype, other that that i dont know or any other programs that have any troubles with wm 6.1, every other program ive used have worked perfectly

send me a private message with your email and i'll send you a few i enjoy.

Thanks Josh,
Anybody else have any suggestions?
Another question: Somehow I managed to get a Sprint TV shortcut in my Start Menu, but unfortunately it's the Sprint TV setup. so when I click it, it tries to download the application again. When I tried to remove it from my start menu it says something like "Cannot move the file". Any idea how I can remove that shortcut and add the correct one?
Thanks!

Click the link and reinstall from that location. It will remove the link and allow it to open your Sprint TV without a problem.

HTC Touchflo not installed :S

Hey guys. I bought a clone HTC Touch 3G from Davismicro.com
Basically, I've watched videos on the net and have seen people use these clones, and they come with HTC TouchFlo/Manilla 2D. Mine however, did NOT come with it installed. It just boots to the regular windows 6.1 pro menu.
Normally, I'd email the company but theyre on chinese newyear holiday. Can anyone please help me on tell me how to get touchflo installed on this device?
(If the device is a clone, its a pretty good clone. HTC Branding everywhere.)
EDIT: By not installed, I mean it is not on the phone. So it looks like I'll need the ROM or theme of it somehow. Help pleaseeeeee?

You can easily install TF2D (M2D). If you search XDA, you can get the cab files.

Thank you. Is there a step by step process? (I am unsure what to run/install once I would have the files on my phone.)

You can download the application from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
How to, basically..
1) download the .cab file to your PC and transfer it to your phone.
2) on your phone, run the .cab file and it will auto install.
3) after that, you can leave the .cab file or delete it.

Where is the .cab file on that link? When I click the blue "DOWNLOAD" letters, it leads me to a forum. I don't know what to get from the form. I'm new to all this.
EDIT: I got the cab from a post on that seperate forum on the DOWNLOAD link.
MY only issue is: After installing, the phone just says "Touch here to launch TouchFLO". I have a "clone" of a HTC Touch 3G, and I am running Win 6.1, and the MD2 is what I believe to be the newest version. I've searched here, and people mention to download some shared dll's or something. I have no idea what to do.
I downloaded the .cab file from the mobility digest forum post called "UPDATE 5-29-09 COMING SOON - FIXING ERRORS on Jade Manila 2D Build 1.20.19131520.0"
at "This is the link to m2d cab here: 2DManila_1_20_19131530_00"
EDIT 2: I downloaded cracing's m2d for non htc cell phones. And it works, but it seems kinda slow, and doesnt autorun. (Every startup, I have to enable it again. Any help on this? (The m2d for non htc cell phone is just an .exe that I run.). Plus I need to download like all of these programs to avoid getting errors. :S
EDIT3:Web Browser does not load through cracings m2d, albumsearcher.exe cannot be found, weather says its 36 degrees even though its WINTER (Obviously in fahrenheit. How do I change it to celsius?), and settings has all these blank buttons (which have little pictures of the phone beside them. How do I fix all this?

I am not sure how else to help you. I've installed on HTC Kaiser without any problem.
Your problems could be due to the clone set.

Ive got it all working now. Except I have an unrelated problem. Text messages work fine, but whenever I try to make a phone call it says "Phone: The operation failed".
Ive read online that this is because the phone is trying to send data while making the phone call. I do NOT have a data plan, and data service under the settings is 'OFF'. (I cant even turn it on. If I try, it just auto turns off after.)
Help?
edit: i got it to work. somehow. i had to turn everything off in settings, and then on again. :S Maybe the phone needed data service off eventhough it already was. Hmmph.

i have the same problems as Lyth.
AlbumSearcher can not be found or doesn't have a certificate.
in an older version it worked. but there were a lot of shell errors.
does anybody know how to fix it?

hi, I'm a noob with a question about my HTC tilt 2. Help please!

I installed a few apps on my HTC tilt 2 with at&t from some sites. Everything was working fine for a while until my phone started slowing down and freezing alot, so I did a soft and hard reset and it fixed the freezing problems but when I run most of the apps, I get this message, ' This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.' Then it says quit and I hit it and this message comes up in a box, ' .NET CF Initialization Error ' and in the box it states, ' The application failed to load required components. If the .NET Compact Framework is installed on a storage card, please ensure that this card is in place and launch the application again. If this fails, a re-installation of .NET Compact Framework is recommended. Support info: -2147483643 (80000005)' So i downloaded it and get a message saying, ' NETCFSetupv35.msi' and in the box it states, 'There is no application associated with "NETCFSetup35". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.' I don't know what I'm doing wrong but any help or advise will be appreciated. I don't know much about my phone but I'm pretty sure I did everything right. It all worked before when I installed the apps? Thanks in advance for your help.

Yeah it sounds like you had CF 3.5 on there before but somehow it didn't stay after the hard reset (which indicates it was installed sometime after the phone was first purchased).
The file you downloaded is to install it from your PC, not the phone. Put the cab file I attached here on your phone, run that, and it should resolve the issue

Thanks for your response, when i click on it it get a message saying, 'FIle download failed The requested header could not be located.' i've actually been getting that message a few times with other downloads too. would you know what that means? thanks again for your help.

run this from your computer. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en

Hmmm no, never heard of it, and basic searching turns up nothing but lists of odd HTTP error codes, that one included. My guess would be an issue with your browser on your PC, but I really couldn't say for sure.
You can also just run the file Rhodium500 linked to above, it's the same .msi file you put on your phone in the first place but couldn't get to run from there...it's an automated installer that just handles everything from your PC instead of you putting the cab on the phone manually.

thanks alot guys, still have no luck and since my phone is under warranty, i'm gonna get a new one. I got 2 htc tilt 2's and only mine is doing this? i'll be back.

dude getting a new touchpro2 wont help... i dont think... like the guy who posted the attachment said, just install it and it should work. if u cant download it use your friend's computer or the library

Dude I had the same problem and if you wait a few mins Ill find it in the microsoft website so you can try downloading from there. Just run it on your computer, then connect your phone with active sync. Go to programs> More> Add/Remove programs and click on the little box there. (I am not sure if the menu goes like this, im actually sure that it doesnt, but for some reason my phone wont connect the WMDM right now so i cant tell u) anyway dont return the phone just because of that cuz the new one might have a problem thats actually harder to fix
I dont remember where I got it from but Ill try to find the original place where I found it.
Heres the file
Microsoft Website
You can download it straight from their website. Its free and it doesnt hurt

thanks, just tried it and had no luck?? i can't even return my phone until the 12th so i'm still trying to figure it out.

hey everybody, I reset my sync center/active sync and re downloaded that from the microsoft website and it seemed to have fixed the problem. I appreciate your help very much.

Just a hint; it seems that either resetting the device or ActiveSync seems to solve a lot of problems sometimes. Had the same that my device didn't want to accept new Exchange-settings I made on my PC. After resetting both, it worked flawlessly.

Sky Mobile Installation on HD2

Hi there all, first time post so be kind. Anyway, I want to install the Sky Mobile app so that I can use the Remote Record functionality to record stuff on my Sky box at home. Problem is that whenever I try and install from the CAB file provided on this site, I get an error saying 'installation failed'. If I go to p.wecomm.com/sky directly from my phone I can download the relevant file (SkyMobile-WM6_PPCP-1.2.0.0) but all it does is open up an appearance settings page for 'Today'. Strange.
Ive had no problems downloading and installing Co0kie's Home Tab Editor, BsB Tweaks, Microsoft .NET etc. so I don't think it's me (but I could be wrong).
Has anyone had this problem and resolved it, or can think of something else I can try?

Hi Arpers,
Try installing the attached file.
It works spot on on my HD2.

Hi there Rutster, many thanks for that. It looks the same as the CAB file I downloaded earlier. I used your one instead and it installs fine. Strange. Anyway, many thanks for that.

1st post edited

is this the 'official' HTC messaging version 1.8 that was released/hacked a while back?

Has anyone tried this yet?

i´ve tried the update.
HTC Messaging is now really fast, but you always get a Message Sent notification and there is no option to disable this.

Aww... not even with a registry tweak or anything?

try the attached file - in return please check for me the version of that new sms message client. thx

I cannot download from Europe 1 or 2 locales, but can from US, although when I tap on the .exe file once transferred to my device, nothing happens - anyone else experience similar?
In addition, where can I find out the version information of HTC messages so I can check my current one?

[EDIT] Double posting.
Stupid system... stupid poster...
[Mod - please remove or can we just have a "delete own posts" option?]

Experiencing the same error. Sometimes when I run it I get an error stating it's not a valid Win32 application.

HTC Messaging Client 1.5.2016.2424
I looked into this package, and seems this is newer then the HD2 3.04 rom, which that version was 1.5.2016.1228. I converted the exe to a cab.
Here is the EXT for Chefs.
I'll be trying this out and seeing if there is any improvements.
*Note this EXT does not include all the files needed, replace these files with existing EXT Package, or create a new EXT Package.

Its should be run from your phone and not your PC. But even so, nothing happens for me!

Tried downloading it from the HTC site & the Megaupload mirror, but nothing happens when trying to install it on my phone. Could be because i'm using a newer rom? (26 june NRG rom)

I got this hotfix is not comapatible with your device..

I get the same error. I tried running it on the stock Tilt 2 rom. Seems like the enhancement could apply to Tilt 2 rom as well, but HTC only shows this update on the Touch Pro 2 section of their site...

I also received the message "This hotfix is not comapatible with your device" I am using a Sprint TP2 with WM 6.5

I removed the Cab because it will not install, something with the Cert in the EXE file didnt carry over. Here is the FULL EXT Package for Cookers, testing at the moment, it does work with All Sys Builds, currently testing with SYS 21908. also works with SYS 21665.
Will try Cabbing it a different way and Post it, sorry everyone for the prior cab
