Jade clone & HTC Album - Touch 3G General

Hello,
I've tried to install HTC album on my phone with many, different cab files, but none of them worked.
When I click on it's icon, waits a little, then it closes before anything is appear on the screen... so just like if I didn't click on it's icon.
I would like to install it because an other HTC camera program needs it and I would like to install that application to get better images on photo camera, because the original program's white-balance and brightness control is really poor.
What would I have to try?
Does it need any system component I missed?
I've tried to use Dependency Walker, but I've found only files that I still have in my phone ROM.
I really don't know how to determine what the program's problem is.
Please help me how to do this.
Thanks for any suggestions.

2 questions reg. Camera and MMS

Ive got the S100 and have two questions.
1. Is there any way making the camera saving all picstures in the same folder? Right now its generating anew folder every day.
2. When I receive a MMS it doesnt connect with the contact list, wich means I dont get the name of the sender, just his/hers number. When receiving a SMS it will state who sent it with name taken from the Contact list.
All help appreciated!

there must be some registry tweak! I saw one in this forum, done it, but have no results...
After day-by-day using the camera, I have realise, that it is very comfartable. I mean the different folders every day - pics doesn't mixing.
relax, man, and enjoy!!!
You could install the latest version of the camera software, that allows you to customise how it names the files and whether it puts them in a new folder. While you're there you could try the latest version of the MMS software too, to see if that helps.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Extended_Roms/MDACompact_NL_1.13.125/
Camera_Wizard_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC28_Customize.CAB
CAB-Acrosoft-MMS-2.5.0.28-ENU-MagicianAKU2.6-13May06.CAB
And after you have installed the new version on camera (that don't create any folder, but save directly in /My Documents/My Picture by default) use this reg trick to save the picture where you want:
From a post that I've found in this forum:
"Get you're favorite registry editor (i use phmRegEdit) and go to the following key: HKLM\SOFTARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image
You should find an empty value called "SaveFolder". You can change this to whatever you like (even invalid paths but it must be able to get created by the camera app). So if you set it to "\My Pictures" the pics you take will be stored in
(Storage Card)\My Documents\My Pictures\(some dated dir)\(somepicname).(some extension)
as far as i could see the SaveTo DWORD represents the storage location (0 = \My Documents, 1 = Storage card)
What i'd like to have is a tweak that does not create those nasty long dir names... just store the pics in "\My Documents".
Regards,
Fossalta
[Edit] You can do the same trick for the /Video key [/Edit] "
Bye bye
yes-yes-yes, that's what I'm talking about... But it is not working with default camera!

+ I am talking about ALL .cabs in list of udates! What about their differences? And what kind of apps is they, I mean, what do they do?
6thElement - Thanx, Ill try it out!

Well, installed the "Camera_Wizard_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_RC23_Customize.CAB" wich only gave me another problem. The camera is only taking pics horisontal...

Well, cant see any difference actually...
Well, the original cab file for the MMS prog would be great as well, since the new one didnt work - at all
There's apparently not much you can do regarding picture quality but the latest camera software patch will fix up the snow problem on your pictures. You will still see snow on the viewer but the pictures will be snow-free
I have installed the rc28 camera and it gives total sh*t to today screen... I can't describe it... some kind of traces of launched apps remains and there is no wallpaper... I've perform the Hard Reset.
Camera app is working, but there is no difference. exept landscape mode onle, mms video mode (don't notice it in default app), and absent day-folders when saving.
ADVICE: DON'T install it!!!!
I don't know about the RC23 or RC28. I installed the patch by ampda (which is newer than RC23)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33305&highlight=
And the camera is great, you can take shots in landscape or potrait mode plus the snow problem is fixed as well.
What CAb did you install? There are some few that all regards the camera..
And does anyone know what the original version of the MMS prog is named, and where I can find it?
/n
There are individual patches but there is one cab that incorporates the patches and update the camera version. File is called
ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB
copy the CAB file to your \windows folder then run it on your handheld. Then make a backup copy the file \windows\camera.exe
The CAB will create a file called camera27b21026.exe or something similar in the \windows so rename that file to camera.exe
And there you have it.
For the MMS, will be something like this file on your EXT ROM

THANX!!
If you install the RC28 camera file you just have to reset your today wallpaper and it will be fine, I think the same happened when I tried 23 too.

help me identify this

Downloaded a cab file from a chinese website, its a today plugin that when you click takes control of your today screen and gives you many buttons to cycle through move around etc drag and drop. Has its own background and signal bar etc. Seems to be a simple application launcher which slightly resembles the iphone. Found it in an elf thread but not sure if it is from an elf. I searched the forum and cannot find anything really like it(i mean apon looking at the contents of the cab versus the content of other things I have found here) I would like to find it in english if I could figure out what to call it. I am attaching the cab file, havent gotten a screen shot of it yet but its not gonna trash your phone just the characters wont display if you do not have chinese installed.
Any help appreaciated.

Anyone know what this is? Is it malicious? I stupidly installed it, but it shows up nowhere in directory structure, remover programs, settings, or program folder.
It is not malicous I have installed it myself and it shows up in remove programs to uninstall. It not showing up at all is strange, what are you running? Did you reset after you installed it?
I am running LVSW's latest wm6 release. It installs and works fine except for the fact that chinese characters do not show.
I did a check on the CAB, and it seems alright. It is called "dDockView", installed to your "Program Files\dDockView" dir. All files are installed there, 2 at "\Windows" and a shortcut. Nothing in the registry, nothing nastily `malicious`. Two of the files in \Windows are "dDockView.xml", "dDockPlugin.dll". Delete these if you want to remove it.
From what it seems, it only execute if you run the "dDockView.exe" in "Program Files\dDockView"
And runs on WM6 only.
UPDATE:
Attached screenshots. It looks.. ifoney. From what it seems, to be a launcher, that, the bottom part gives you the 'Menu' or 'Page' for the programs icons above.
You'll have to modify the XML in \Windows to point to your program and icons, I think.
Hey thanks for posting the screenshots I was just about to upload some myself. I knew it was a launcher but none of the chinese would show up as I did not have the local installed.
Is this comparable to the iphone app posted in these threads? Ive been searching but I havent found anything close to what files it installs I can only assume that its something the chinese have made but do not quote me on that. I wonder how hard it would be to convert it to english.

I have yet to take any rom plunge. I am runing wm5 on my 8525 all I have done is put on the newest version of radio 1.43.
When I installed it I told it to use my storage card and it did not fail but said install was ok.
Your afraid to upgrade os but are ok updating the radio? I seem to remember reading that it is easier to brick your device radio updating than just upgrading the os but do not quote me on that.
@hanmin Since you were able to see the chinese characters, what was displayed on the normal today screen where you launch the program? Mine just showed an icon with many squares of course because I could not see chinese.
It seems like a decent launcher for one handed operation and the drag and drop works nice, still havent figured out how to customize it all yet but time will tell.

Didn't say afraid, said I hadn't done it yet. Still reading and checking on what one I want to try first.
@Bohemian, I'm sure Psiodon doesn't meant to say 'afraid', probably the word 'worried / doubtful' is the word he is trying to use. Anyway, good that you are doing that. There are various newbies around that jump in and die without knowing why
@Psiodon
I didn't install the app myself. I've just examined the CAB contents and did a bit of goggling myself. I don't even know that there is a today plugin (probably I've missed some lines in the CAB). From what it seems, you can happily skip the today plugin and launch it 'normally'.
@Boh, yes I did not mean scared afraid as hanmin said, just that you did radio first as I have not done radio yet but have done os many times hehe.
@Hanmin, I must be retarded how did you get those screenshots without installing it, some emulator or other way of extracting them? The retard thing can be verified with your reply haha.
Jeff
@Psiodon You can google for screenshots? There are forum discussing it with screenshots. Just grab it from there? And, yes, there are emulator for WM5 devices if you are interested. Get it free from M$.
Are those forums in chinese or english, could you post a link to it?
Thanks in advance
Jeff
can anyone covert it to english Please
@Psiodon Google for "dDockView"
@aih1977, from what it seems, it uses a XML file for all the setup and stuff, but it also has a few DLL files which maybe difficult to convert to English.
Hi Guys,
This today plug-in come pre-installed in S1 Dopod in china which is the HTC Touch "Elf". But this is only availible in default for china market.
You need to edit the xml to do batches change to del unwanted icon.
Too bad this come in chinese lang only. And I having some program in adding new program using the standard GUI. Think I need to use the xml to add new program.
That makes sense the chinese care nothing about copyrights which sometimes is a good thing.
The software has its own custimizing app built in, you just click the little down arrows and it gives you options to delete and add new as well as lock unlock the drag and drop capability, you can change text font colors etc, it has its own button library graphics you can select from etc.
It does what its supposed to do, launches apps, displays your messages count etc, goes directly to what you want it to go to, email for email, text messages for sms etc, self customizing (to an extent) drag and drop icons for ordering. Clicking the clock brings up time of course, clicking the service bars brings up phone properties. Its pretty quick to do its various tasks and seems to be a complete program, I did notice that it doesnt seem to show the status of bluetooth wifi etc at the top or maybe I havent figure out how to configure that.
If it were in english would be alot better thats for certain.

Translator needed...Chinese
I know that some people here speaks chinese, so could any of you please look into this and translate it
Is there a easy way to break of a DLL change (e.g. translate) it and put it back?
easy way hmmm. I tried translating it myself but with my limited knowledge on such things I couldnt really get anything important changed to english, just a few menu options that you could already figure out yourself. I had to change my local to chinese to get those characters to show up in my editing programs. Then had to make shift sign the exe then copy it over to the phone. Couldnt figure out the signing cab thing and didnt work much on that since I couldnt get much changed into english. I guess the other chinese is hidden in there somewhere but with the programs I used I couldnt figure it out. The other thing that bothers me about the program is that it will let you add control panel items, but not program items, when you select that option it just sits there. I assume some path being different on the chinese version of windows mobile 6? So with all the effort I didnt get far.
There are many people out there who translate programs from different languages, maybe they have more of a clue than I do, and the ability to fix the path problem with adding programs.

Where to find camera.exe?

When I launch my camera, it is coming up part of the screen still showing whatever I had running before starting the camera (usually the today screen), and the controls to get to the settings, change to video, zoom, etc. are not responding.
My thought is to reinstall camera.exe or at the very least, install another copy and redirect to the new copy. Anyone have a cab or know where/how I can get another copy on to my phone? Or for that matter, other (free) camera software I can use instead?
I'm really trying not to hard reset - I've tweaked a lot of stuff onto Ultimate Launcher and Mobile Shell 2.0, and don't want to go through setting it all up again.
Thanks in advance...

The problem is not with the camera app, but with something else you have installed. If you want to hard reset and not lose anything, you can backup your files, or for something like UL, save your ".ini" file. It may help for you to post a screenshot.
Is there a replacement for the default camera app on the Touch? I find the default one horrible...

HTC Album crah

Hi There.
I have a problem with HTC Album, everytime I press the ALBUM command to change the album witch I want to see, the system starts to list foldres and then the white screen with ERROR REPORT appears, and I can't change the album.
Somebody here have a issue like this? (Sorry everyone my english sucks)
I search for a CAB or a registry correction to HTC Album, but I didn't find it.
Thanks.

Have you tried hard reset?
I tried hard reset twice.
The last one I deleted all folders with photos from my sd card before perform Hard reset, and then I tried to use HTC album. The issue continues.
Solution
The HTC Album finally works!
The solution? I removed IGO8 folder from my SD card.
But, I couldn't understand why a GPS software crash the HTC album.
I like IGO very much, but it's really incompatible with HD2.
iGO has nothing to do with it.
If IGO8 hasn't influence with it, why after I removed IGO folder from SD card de htc album returned to work?
You just said a simple phrase but didn't explain a thing. Try to be a little bit useful.
I have the same behavior since I've installed Igo 8.3.4 . When I open Htc Album it starts to look for every image file I have in my storage card and when it gets to the Igo8 folder, the album just closes whitout any warning. I'm using Dutty Leo HolyGrail R0 rom, but I don't think that it's a rom problem, since it started right after I installed Igo 8.3.4
Maybe if there's a way to order Htc album not to look into Igo8 folder this problem would be solved... Is there any way to do such thing?
Edit: As a matter of fact I've checked and the problem is not with HTC Album, it is with WM album... So if there's any way to make the windows album skip or just not read the Igo8 folder, I assume it would solve my problem.
HTC Album is horrible. It will auto-search all possible images and videos in the device. Use other image/video manager tools.
hum... all right but suppose I do like the album the way it is, so still I need to find a way to tell windows album searcher to ignore Igo8 folder... Any help with that?
Go into registry and make the htc album ignore the iGO folder and the problem is solved.
64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album
Don't you find it annoying that HTC Album Shows lots of images you don't need to see when you select Albums like GPS poi icons? Now you can tell HTC Album to ignore certain folders.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignored and add a NEW STRING VALUE
Eg if there is iGO8 in the root of the Storage Card you would create a NEW STRING VALUE with Value name iGO8 and Value Data \Storage Card\iGO8
This will include all subfolders inside the iGO8 folder. Save and reset.

Oh, sorry about that!!! I swear I used the search tool but I think I was just too sleepy to really find it at 3:00 AM...
Well, I'm going to try it and I'll tell you here if it works for me, but I have one doubt: How do I insert the inverted slash (\) with the htc keypad? It seems to have only the regular slash (/). Does it make a difference?
And thanks very much for your help!!!

Yes, I noted that / is there. I meant how can I insert \. You see, is the same slash, but backwards. I'm just asking because I don't know if the registry "sees" a difference between:
\Storage Card\iGO8
and
/Storage Card/iGO8
Got it? I mean: If i type like the last example I gave to you, the registry will "understand" it right? Or will it only work if I type with the \, like in the first example?
On the second page of the symbols is the \.
When you press the symbol button there's a 1/2 on the left. Press it.

It's not the registry that uses these values. Think of the registry as a database - nothing more.
Anyway, I did mean \, not /. It's on page 2 of the numbers and symbols keyboard ("12#", "1/2").
Oh, thank you both for your lightining fast answers!!!! I gess you all realized I'm a noobie here, hehe... And I'm now glad to say that my problem is gone and the album works like it should now!!!
Thank you very much!!!

[Q] N00b needs help installing themes

PLEASE HELP!!!!
I know people have started threads about being new and needing help installing themes, but none of them seem to work for me. I'm hoping someone can still help me out.
I just got a Touch Pro 2 for Sprint. OS = Windows Mobile 6.5
I'm trying to change themes. I've read numerous tutorials on many different sites and just can't seem to get it to work. I have HDWallS installed, but it never finds any wallpaper to load. I've tried placing .cab files in various locations on the phone for HDWallS to load, but they don't show up. All I see are folders like "Application Data" "ConnMgr" "Documents and Settings," etc.
I'm a bit confused by the whole thing quite frankly. Does HDWallS only change the wallpaper, and not the entire theme? If so, I guess I'm using the wrong program.
I've tried the tutorial here to no avail.
h ttp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/96452-hdwalls-walkthrough-tp2-please.html
I'd like to use one the themes on these 2 pages:
1:
h ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529576&page=7
or 2:
h ttp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/pocket-pc-themes/74764-popdog54s-icon-sets-wallpapers-s2u2-themes.html (scroll down about halfway to the S2U2 themes, i.e. Star Wars, Star Trek, Halloween, etc.)
For the first site, I thought I could just download the .cab file to the phone, run it, and it would be done. No such luck, nothing happens. Do I somehow need to use HDWallS with the cab file or something?
For the second site, I downloaded a program called S2U2, and installed it, but couldn't get the program to find/load any wallpapers.
How do I get these themes to work? Please help!!! Thanks in advance!!!!!
Bueller? Can some help, please?
I disabled touchflo under settings, ran the .cab file, but no dice. The theme doesnt show up under the themes list! I tried disabling touchflo, installing the .cab, restarting, and then restarting touchflo, but that didnt work either.
What am I missing?
This might sound stupid but have you reboot your phone after this?
The problem is that he isn't installing any themes. HDWalls is an application. It says right on the first post, "...but what you end up with is a flawless wallpaper, higher in resolution than the standard methods, same background on all tabs, and absolutely no glitches or lags in rotation that I have noticed." It's for putting high quality wallpaper as the backgrounds. The other link is for a lock screen application called S2U2. Those themes aren't installed by cab files normally. You generally just copy over the files in the \S2U2 folder and restart the program for it to take affect. Basically the OP's problem wasn't that he didn't read enough.
