After Removing Manilla 2D, QuickDial doesn't work -- HELP PLEASE!

Please don't kill me if this has been posted already, but I have searched and searched and searched.
I installed Manilla 2D and wasn't really feeling it, so I removed it. Well everything works fine except my quickdial pad on my touchflo cube. When I boot the phone I get an error message about the quickdial.exe program, and when I launch the cube, I can see the quickdial pad, but no names appear, and I can't activate it with touch.
Is there a registry tweak to fix this??? Or what can I do?? I REALLY don't want to do a hard reset, but if I do, will it go back to WM6 or will it stay WM6.1?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

Oh, I have the HTC Touch (Sprint), btw.

same thing happened to me ... i don't recall seeing an error about quickdial though... let me go to war with it and tell you what i find out.

well... tried everything i could think of... replaced Quickdial.exe with another version, tried two other cubes from different versions of the phone... looked through the reg... didn't fix it.

Backup your stuff and do a hard reset. it will go back to the last ROM you instaled.
If it still doesn't work, you nee to re-execute the ROM upgrade utility (RUU)

we'd rather not at this point

Ugh. Doing a hard reset for a simple dial pad makes my head hurt. I'm never installing another app on this phone that messes with the interface. I'll just stick with what it's got until the next phone.
If anyone thinks of another solution, PLEASE let me know. Hard reset is such a pain.

Main reason why i dont want to install Manilla 2D...

Mostly, do not instal BETA if you are not ready to do a hard reset... Or if you don't use an easy backup utility...
Especially when they mention it in the app's tread!
I don't understant why it seems so terrible for you guys to do a hard reset... I just did it with mine: It feels much lighter now!

The Manilla 2D replaces the default quick dial, so the files are altered. It's like trying to install the cube and HTC Home, at least in some instances. The two files conflict, so you'll need to hard reset.
Or, reinstall without the quick dial .cab, and use the customizer to remove the speed dial page.

Keyboard doesnt pop up in landscape

Hi,
has anyone else the same problem?
the keyboard doesnt pop up when clicking on a text box. not even the keyboard-sign appears in the lower bar, so typing is not possible. it is esp. annoying in opera because browsing is kind of senseless without a keyboard.
i'm using my touch hd exclusively in landscape mode. The autorotate program is flip it and im running duttys v3.
would like to know if more ppl have this problem

that was me posting in the dutty v3 thread but there werent many replies. only one or two encountered the same problems since a lot of the dutty users seem not use landscape mode.
apart from that i dont really know if this has to be discussed in the dutty development thread since it could also be a problem of winmo or flipit or anything else. my research brought me to the conclusion that winmo is responsible for showing an input device whenever a text box is marked.
also the dutty thread is too big already. i have to read 10 or more pages to see if someone answered to the question. too many ppl asking how to flash or how to make their cats flash devices
so, if anyone has the same problem pls post here with your config
thx

Sorry if these same obvious or if you have already tried/stated these. I'm just asking these questions to get a better understanding of your problem and to see if I can replicate/solve your issue
Have you had similar problem on any other roms?
Is it standard HTC keyboard you are using?
Have you tried using HDTweak Automatic display pop up?
Have you tried a hard reset and then testing keyboard before installation of apps, then adding each app one at a time to see if any of them are conflicting with it?

I don't think I've had this problem on a non-Dutty ROM, but I'm not sure about that.
I use Fingerkeyboard.
I haven't tried the tweak you mention - but I'm not sure it would change anything since the problem is NOT PERMANENT! Sometimes the keyboard does pop up, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to be pretty random...

SOrry for the late reply...
i dont think i had the same problem with standard rom (autorotate app was changescreen)
i tried standard htc and fingerkeyboard
no, i havent tried hdtweak since the duttyroms are already tweaked by duttythroy and i dont want to mess it up. what exactly does the function "automatic display pop up"?
i hard reset after flash and tested directly afterwards. same problem.
does anyone know if this problem is still in duttys 3.3?
thx
hdizzel

The problem is still there in v3.3,i have read every possible thread and did every possible search,i cannot find anything mentioned about this and i cannot find a solution. It is kinda lame to have to rotate the phone everytime i need to write smthing on opera,but meh i can live with this inconvenience, Dutty's Rom is worth it tbh.
Even so if anyone finds anything pls report back would be nice to solve this

Currently using V3.3 and I'm still not replicating your problem. If I use Opera or msm in landscape fingerkeyboard automatically pops up for me.
I've used HD Tweak with basically every rom I've flashed and had no problems with it. I'd go as far as saying it actually improves the phones experience and userability.
Try using it and see if it also helps you with your keyboard display

The funny thing is that i have HD Tweak installed(and auto pop enabled),and had it on every rom i used(well basically all of Dutty's Roms since 2.4),dont know what is going on.Maybe it is smth else on my phone,will try reflashing and using Fingerkeyboard only as the first app.Btw this only happens in opera for me.

ok, I finally see were your coming from as I am experiencing it as well. Not sure why this is though. I'll look into it and see if I can find a solution.
I never really use landscape to be honest, especially in Opera as loading time of pages is slower.

well i use landscape on opera mainly for forum browsing cause i can see more text!anyways awaiting on news about this,and i am gonna try some tweaking around myself.

Arrgh!!! Really annoying, Clownshoes figured it out before me!!! LOL. Trust you mate!!
Ok mate, it seems it does work, you have to hold down for 2 secs in input field, no more, no less and it should then pop up. You can thank Clownshoes for that one!
Let me know how you get on

Hmm,i might be doing something wrong,i press and hold in the input field for 2secs or so and nothing really happens,well if i press for more the opera menu pops up "select all" but other than that nothing.
Maybe it has something to do with keyboard settings like the popup timer or something similar,although my settings are on default. i'll keep trying though.
Thanks for trying to solve this

ok, which method are you using to rotate opera? Are you using FlipIt?
I've noticed if I set flipit to 0 and 270 degrees and then enter opera. The first time the keyboard will not pop up. But if I exit opera and then re-enter it works fine.
Have you tried a soft reset?

It seems to be very sensitive. Try using just the tip or nail of your finger in the text entry area for about a second.

It also helps if you double tap to zoom into the text entry box.
I've just tested it by doing it over and over again and using the tip of my finger seems to work every time.

this is very weird,i got it to pop but it is extremely sensitive,dunno what makes it behave like this.
Anyways thanks for the solution guys.

Swype comes with new languages!

Since there are new roms out, swype is usable in a few more languages such as English, Spanish (yes we had that!), Italian, German and French... Hopefully a few more will be added soon, but I think this is really good news! And it does work awesomely fluent and fast!
greetz

Have you had any trouble using the long press keys with teh new swype? (press and hold to get symbols and numbers)
I had to go back to the original swype, the new one just wouldn't do long press.

that is really strange. Long press works a the "new" swype on my hd2, even though i think they should integrate the multi-choice on long press!

OK, thanks. (I was running a test cook for a few days, not a final release, so it could be that it hadn't been configured properly.)

It works for me too, and I use both Spanish and English on a daily basis.
I think Swype is one of the coolest technnologies around, without a doubt. It was the reason I flashed a new ROM.

It's great! Works in French like a charm.
I can switch to English with two clicks when the need arises. On the minus side, it switches from the French AZERTY to QWERTY and I'm less familiar with the layout then. But it improves my typing so much that I can live with it

just to let you know mate... you didnt have to flash a new rom to have swype. You can install either the version ripped from Omnia 2, or the version ripped from T-Mobile US HD2 from the cabs floating around.

I think it has more to do with sensitivity, because if you try again....but be sure to hold your finger EXTREMELY STILL it will work.
I have noticed this myself. Even a fraction of a hair of movement is perceived as a movment, and the software acts accordingly, but if I slow down in that brief second to be very deliberate and steady, it works.

Yeah, that's true, but..
This one is newer (from the 2.10 TMOUS ROM) and I got all the other benefits of a new ROM to go with it, but in the end, it was the one feature I was really looking for more so than anything else, because the multi-lingual support is a thing I require.

I did give it a really good try, honest, with and without the screen sensitivity tweak. I use the earlier (dark coloured) swype all the time with not a problem, none at all. I've tried the new one a few times (the new one is pre installed on the rom I use, and i tried every time i hard reset for the first few times) and only maybe 1 press in 20 can i get the long press to work. I suspect it's actually a problem with the rom, not my method. I just gave up and put the old swype into my Autoinstal folder in the end, now i don't even see the new one. I don't need the languages anyway, so no biggie.

Could you install the old one over the new one without issue?
If so, maybe I'll give it a try to experiment. The only two languages I need are Spanish and English, so the old one still works for me, as it includes both.

yea thats what i mean, i autoinstal (the rom i use has an autoinstal from sdcard folder feature) so i put the old swype cab in there, then when i hard reset, the old one is autoinstalled so now i never have to even see the new one.

Swype Error :/

I ve tried both 3.09 and 2.00 versions on my 1.61 stock HD2 , but both getting "Open of EnglishUS" failed error
Is Swype not compatible with this rom? What am I doing wrong?!

It isn't compatible. If you want this feature, you'll have to:
1) buy an HD2 that has it in the ROM already.
or
2) flash to a ROM that contains it in order for it to work properly.
I did so, largely for this reason, and although many have complained about its function, particularly on secondary/long press keys, I have not had much difficulty with it, although I have seen the issue and have worked my way around it when it presents, because I find the software an absolutely indispensable feature for the way I use my phone every day.

I've noticed that it seems to happen in specific contexts, and that in general, if I can keep my finger dead steady during the long press, it won't have a problem reading the long press about 95% of the time. Long press "?"/M seems to always work at the end of sentences, at least for me, for example, so I think there is some context issues related to this.
I also tried deleting the Swype User data files and it seemed to help. Not sure why, or if it was real or imagined, but the issue was less common after doing so.
I can't do without it in my HD2, so I'll live with it the way it is, because even with these issues, I don't mind it.

Hi Donal,
Do you have a download link for the OzROM you have mentioned in your sig? I assume that installing it will wipe phone memory/data? I'm only asking as I have a problem with Swype, with it often causing the 'keyboard button' to become inoperable, I'm wondering if it's a problem with my Rom, as I only have the old 'out of the box' one, 1.43 or so I think.

I just reinstalled the Omnia2 versin of swype.
I somehow prefer that version..more used to it and it doesn't have that secondary key problem...

Tap them out once and Swype should add them to its database. You should be able to slide them out thereafter.

Don't mislead people by offering advice when you don't know what you're on about.
There is no connection between the Swype CABs and the ROMs. It should all work.
Now, that error isn't uncommon, I've had it myself. Unless you get the error after installing the Swype HTC skin found on XDA, you can fix the error merely by uninstalling Swype and reinstalling using the CAB. Select the Swype keyboard to make sure it works and then do a soft reset.
I've used both the Omnia II and T-Mo HD2 Swype CABs on a variety of phones with a variety of ROMs and it all works. Currently using the HD2 CAB on official 1.66 WWE ROM and it works well.

I already followed this steps with v3.9, but i had lost the e-mail & wi-fi passwords, the phone was blocking and needed to reset with the red button under the cover, with a long press on the keys to get symbols 90% of times did not working... swype it is really fast, but seems not working, at least the one fixed for hd2 , as it claims (with the .txt in /windows folder)

can you select swype by clicking the up arrow at the centre bottom off the keyboard? I only ask because this one worked for me whilst the other version I tried wiped my data connections too.

Yes indeedy.

I have used both versions of swype, Omnia 2 and 3.9. I find 3.9 more pleasing to the eye. The buttons are bigger and the letters are bigger. Yes its a little harder to press and hold to get the numbers but it works everytime for me. Seems that the touch points are smaller.
But when installing both versions I lost email settings and wifi settings. The wep password disappears for the router and my smtp and pop settings disappear for emails. I have switched back and fourth and both versions cause the same issues. But so does pulling the battery when to do a reset. So it seems to be more of an HTC issue and not a swype issue.
I have heard others saying about the 3.9 and lock password being changed. I have a feeling swype 2.0 does the same thing. Might be linked to the other problems.

Could you please pull your cab. We do not yet have an official beta for Windows Mobile. It has been announced that Swype will be available through T-Mobile on the HTC HD2, but today it is only available through Verizon on the Samsung Omnia II.

Swype erratic and unpredictable?

Hey guys/gals,
I've been using swype for going on three weeks now but it's being a right pain more and more often now.
It just seems to pick words that have nothing like the letters being selected -due to the swype the trail jumping in different directions sometimes I suspect-
I also can't select the second function (punctuation, brackets etc) without a right fuss. when I hold a letter to get the number sitting above it I'll get something like "bbb b" or "xxx" even though my finger's perfectly still. and when I try and hold delete to delete whole words I might get something like "mmm l m lmm"
It just goes mental some times.
Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix the nutty behaviour before Swype and I have a showdown at dawn?

Sounds like your phone and not swype.

I had huge problems with the light grey colored swype (don't know what versions there are, the one extracted from the tmo rom I think) just wouldn't let me get 2nd function, and really jittery.
I went back to the original one I found weeks ago (again, sorry no idea if version, kinda dark grey and grey/blue, ) and that one, along with the screen sensitivity tweak in bsb tweaks makes it a joy to use (admittedly after a few weeks practice/annoyances)
I'll attach the cab of the one I user to this thread when I get home in an hour or so.

Not the phone it seems as I've tried the same one on two different HD2s.
Screen sensitivity might play a part in this but it's definitely an issue with swype. If I use swype, it's very troublesome and very erratic but if I use the standard keyboard, doing something like second function is spot-on 100% of the time.
Also, in notes and drawing apps, although lines that I draw aren't perfectly to my traced line, they aren't anything like swype's crazy lightning like bolts, however, I understand this might be like comparing apples to oranges
Samsamuel, that would be perfect mate, hopefully it can get myself and anyone with similar issues back on track with swype. It is a blue version I use too, but could hopefully be a different release you have.

I also can't select the second function (punctuation, brackets etc) without a right fuss. when I hold a letter to get the number sitting above it I'll get something like "bbb b" or "xxx" even though my finger's perfectly still. and when I try and hold delete to delete whole words I might get something like "mmm l m lmm"
It just goes mental some times.
Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix the nutty behaviour before Swype and I have a showdown at dawn?

i have the same issue. i'm not able to type in a number by second function and holding down the button. that's why i guess it's a touchscreen fault.
like you, swype draws more bolds than straight lines. but i have the same problem when playing games like flight commander, where the drawn lines are shown all time. this "zick-zack" lines happen only every few seconds. most time i can draw lines perfectly. this is the part which i cannot understand...
if the screen is faulty, why does it work most time correct?

It's interesting that it happens in games too but I still believe it's Swype at fault in this case and not the touchscreen.
Open up notes and start a drawing, draw really slowly or really quickly, press light and press heavy and the outcome is a far straighter trail (nearly perfect). This could be down to programming but I don't think Swype is programmed to be over sensitive or everyone would have the same problem, there must be another reason.

I have been having the same problem, wasn't all the time but it was like it was spiking a lot when swyping across the keyboard. Installed Keyboard tweak 3.3 with reduced sensitivity and working better than it ever did before but have only been testing for a couple of hours.

Ok, heres the swype i've used successfully on a few different roms. I don't remember where i got it(i got it from xda dev), and i cant find how to see a version number. The lighter coloured, slightly chunkier version is the one i had trouble with.
Version is important because if you read about, it seems there's a bug in one of the swype versions where it can affect passwords if you have a lock on your phone, and i think you have to hard reset to get back in, so i'd hate for that to happen! (I dont use a lock, so i wouldn't know if this is the affected version or not) so please back up your stuff.

That one you're using (and posted) is version 2 (from Omnia), the nasty one is Swype 3.9. I also had nightmares with 3.9, don't recommend installing if you find it. Or you could just register for Beta release on the Swype website.
This skin works well with Swype v2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604949

Thanks for that, i'll bear it in mind, though i actually like the dark look. Fits well with the rom i use.

Installed and shall test over next couple of days but it seems perfect sam.
I owe ya man.

Can I use this version to replace the other swype version cooked into my ROM (Energy RON 26Feb)?

Found this thread via a google search, I've also heard to stay away from Swype 3.9 b/c of the way it checks for device ID first.
Anyway, 2.0 works great and thanks for the link for new skins...
