WING keeps Restarting

Hey Whats up....i wus playing around with dialpad skins for my phone and for tha hell of it i installed a .cab for a "video" button on my dialing screen...i dont have 3g or anything i juss thought it would b a nice look....anyway...i soft re-setted my phone and now it just does tha whole t-mobile start up screen then "windows mobile"......then restarts again....cant seem to get it past any of those screens cause it juss keeps restarting....if any1 could help me out i would appreciate it...i really dont wanna do a hard reset

take ur memory card, you probably have something installed on ur memory card that's causing the loop.
Try using a file explorer (like resco or total commander)
and go into your Windows directory and rename a files called
omap850_sdhc.dll into omap850_sdhc.dll.old then soft reset your phone and it should start working fine.

this happens to me all the time, it only happens to me when i start messing with HTC home plug in. only way i found to stop the loop is do a hard reset. never tried removing the memory card in case any program in the card was causing the loup, ill keep that in mind next time this happens to me.

I can practically guarantee that the solution I posted will fix your problem if it ever comes up again

you are a lifesaver my dude...thanks so much...i was gonna lose all my numbers wit tha hard reset becuase i kept forgeting to sync my contacts on my comp but this worked perfect...made my fukin day lol...thnx again....1

I have a startup issue. Have to remove the card while soft-reset. Works fine once in WM6 and I can put card back in.
I don't have that omap850 file in my windows directory... any idea?

you need to use a different file explorer (resco, total commander) instead of the file explorer that comes with WM because it won't show .DLL or any other type of system files.

Awesome, got Total Commander. Works like a charm, no more pulling the card out!
Since you seem on the up and up with the Wing...
Any hidden files/temp crap that is filling up my device? I only have 5mb on my device and really not very many programs installed on it at all, my program files folder is only 6mb.
Thanks again for your assistance, much appreciated.

There's alot of **** filling up your wing that you dont need. haha. Are you still running the stock rom ? If so I'd suggest upgrading to a new one... personally, I'd reccommend ITJE's work.
ITJE's - Touch-IT 4.4
&
KEYBOARD FIX

I was considering Touch-IT - but for some ungodly reason they removed Internet Sharing!!! What the hell would anyone do that for? It's free laptop internet.
I also need exchange to work, live messenger and whatever else. I just can't help but think it will be daunting as I got my cube configured and everything. I'm curious though... does the wing run faster with Touch-IT?
Also says (I'm looking at 4.4 here) - that the Today items are disabled (can you re-enable??) and Adobe Reader? Why remove that? I use it all the time...
Ugh, lol... this is why I am swaying away from Touch-IT... but really, does it do that much performance wise or just free up some space? Because besides the phone being a bit slow, I got it rock solid config'd and it's heavily modified.

My only suggestion would be try out all the Roms and see what you think.
Personally, I'm a big advocate of ITJE's work.. You can install a cab for adobe ... I'm sure there's something for the internet sharing cab somewhere.

other idea
tried the above solution to no avail, so I did some more testing. found that what triggered it on my device was adding additional apps to the tray launch.
just thought i'd share hope it helps

Awesome. That's good to know.

But do you really think using these ROM's will speed up the device at all? Or just simply create more storage space...

The Roms definitely make the device faster.
The new TouchIT 4.4 is the fastest rom I've ever had on my device... and I've had the priviledge to have seen some of the things that ITJE is working on, and let's just say you should be extremely anxious to see what's next to say the least.

I'd love to use Touch IT, but I'm still very weary of the internet sharing. I can't seem to find the cab for it and again, what in the world would compel someone to remove unlimited internet capabilities from the ROM????
I'm reading through all the posts, and everyone ignores the posters who ask about internet sharing, kind of strange.... Is there some conspiracy I'm unaware of or something???

I compiled an InternetSharing cab for those of you looking for it.

How to tweak HTC Home country code/settings?

I'd like to know how I can tweak the country code/settings of HTC Home before installing it to Artemis?
My wife had P3300 (Artemis) with English language (WM5) and I flashed it to Finnish WM6. Now when I installed HTC Home version 2.xxx to it, some of the features work and some of them don't work.
So how to tweak the country code in order to make HTC Home work in my wife's phone?
Thanks in advance!

Well, many have read this thread but unfortunately nobody knows the answer although some persons know how to tweak ROM settings

In the windows folder of your wife´s Artemis should be a file named HTCHome.dll.0409.mui and you have to rename it as HTCHome.dll.040B.mui

Thanks! Now it's working a bit better, but still not completely right. The weather forecast appeared and it tells you to choose the correct city. After that nothing happens. Some features were added to "Launcher" but I still cannot add any applications to it. Still it's not possible to add any favourite people to "Quick dialer". The audio manager works fine.
Is there something else that should be taken to account ot tweak in order to get HTC Home work completely right? Maybe those things I mentioned are language related things and thus HTC Home doesn't work with Finnish WM6???
OK, what to do next? Should I change the name of some folders from Finnish to English if HTC Home would then find the paths more easier or do I have to tweak other HTC Home files (plugin?) files as well?
And as always, your hints are highly appreciated.

OK, thanks a lot again! I searched Windows directory but didn't find any other files with the title .0409.mui. Maybe I should extract HTC HOME file to my laptop's harddrive and try to search whether there are any other files with the title .0409.mui. If I remember correctly, there was also a mention of 0409 in one of the DLL files. Maybe I should change that 0409 to 040B also inside the file as well to its name???

YES, YES, that's what it takes
I connected my wife's phone to my laptop computer and renamed every file which was titled *0409* to *040B*. After that I did a soft reset and when the phone was turned on, HTC Home worked perfectly.
Thank a million for this advice!
BTW, is this "040B" some kind of universal code for HTC Home or is it just a code for Finnish WM6?

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?

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

Enabling N

So, ROM 2.10 allowed for the following tweak:
HKLM\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms and changing the value of 11nModeDisable from the default 1 to 0
2.13 has locked this in the registry! Any thoughts? I want this back!!!

Still exists in the latest build in 2.13 that I have, but I am running a custom ROM....

Yeah, the key still exists for me too, but it states that I do not have rights to change the parameter! Is that possible or do I need a new regedititor?
I am using "Mobileregistryeditor."

Have you tried just using BSB Tweaks, that allows you to turn on N.

To be honest with you (and this may sound crazy here), but I am always leery of installing Cabs. I would rather know the registry tweak and do it manually so I can undo it later if I don't like it!

Here's a tip: you can always see the registry edit and and any other changes a cab is going to make, before you install/run it.
Just put a copy of the cab file on your PC desktop, then click to open it, it will open just like a .zip file. Inside you will see a file called "setup.xml", drag that to your desktop and click to open it. It will pull up a browser window/tab, and show you the full set of instructions in that cab, including names and locations of file installs, as well as reg key changes.

No problems using Resco Registry explorer on stock 2.13.

Does using the phone on N even make a difference? Obviously it will drain your battery faster.

To the poster who noted faster drain, everything I have read states that it actually drains less for some reason when this is enabled.
Why? I dunno!

Noob Question - Problem

Installed FroyoStone_Sense to my HD2. I've found that every time I switch back to WM by doing a soft reset a particular folder is damaged, forcing me to restore it. Should I be installing the Android folder to a clean, empty SD card? I was under the impression that I could just add the folder to my existing WM SD card.
Thanks in advance.
-Bob-

I don't know about other people but I install the droid folder onto a freshly formatted sd card to make sure. Many of the files on the droid folder will only be read by the WM OS system unless you hook into a PC.

That's what I've been doing, and I've used probably about 10 builds and have never had the problem you describe.
What folder is it?

I do have one question though, why do you 'soft reset'? Is the build your using always freezing up or is it to access some of the non-droid applications associated with WM?

Soft reset to go back to WM. Haven't gone beyond the most basic experimentation with the Android build. Need to get some work done occasionally.

It's the MarsWare folder in the Programs folder. I still use that app outside of HTC Sense. The folder has been corrupted each time I've rest to WM.

Hmmm, is the file that keeps getting corrupt a file that you need access to with the Android system or the WM system?
If you have two memory card then I would keep the WM files separate or try a new build, I have never had the problem myself, if you want my build then let me know.

Sounds strange. I assume Android doesn't use that folder for anything, so it shouldn't affect it.
How much space do you have left on your card?

If you hook up droid to the pc then it won't mess up your activesync but thats not what i'm saying.
The folder which keeps getting corrupted, is it stored on the SD Card in its own folder or is it being stored under the ANDROID folder in the SD Card?
The only other way around this apart from carrying two sd cards around with you is to get the DUAL-BOOT loader onto your phone so even if you reset you should have full access to all file and folders.

I don't know then mate. When you say you can restore the folder, does that mean you have a backup of it somewhere? If so, just rename the knackered one and restore the original again and maybe the knackered one will bear the brunt of the problem.
Not a fix, I know, but maybe a workround for now.

The files are only needed in WM. It's a weather program. Looks like I should buy another 16gb card for the Android.
I'm just starting with the Android thing, so ALL suggestions are appreciated. Where can I find your version?
Another question (since I have your attention ); the music player seems to interface perfectly with my WM installed music folder. I use a WM software package, Pocket Tunes, to sync playlists. Those playlists show up in the Android setup, which was amazing to me because they don't in the WM version. That left me with the impression that the Android system reads the WM format fine. Your thoughts?
Thanks again.

I believe that the pls format is universal, but I don't know for sure that Android will read it correctly. I guess the obvious answer would be to try it and find out.

The Android build seems to dominate over WM for a couple of things, the music thingy is new to me but for apps like facebook etc android seems to dominate and there is not much you can do about it. I think the dual-boot loader is your best option as each OS will have a separate part of the SD card to work from, this is a theory but im not too sure otherwise, anyone else got any ideas about a bootloader?

hey,
I had the same issue with weather panel running off "second home screen" app, using DDT theme, whenever I ran android then went back to weather panel the theme wouldn't display correctly, it appears to corrupt the themes folder.
however installing WP on the device memory sorted it, tho I don't use windows anymore so can't say if it was a permanent solution.
last thing if you think you will switch to android and want something with similar features (+extras), take a look at palmary weather it's a paid app (less than a shot of brandy)
can only buy from there sight tho.

Maybe you could even get some apps which will do what you need on the android system so you wont have to change back to WM again...that could be a possibility.

I suspect a couple weeks with Android and I'll make it permanent. Right now I'm traveling, so I'm a bit less willing to drop my crutch (WM) right now.
I am also VERY impressed with all the help on this forum. It'll make the transition much less painful.
