So after a month of issues with my Wing locking up anytime I try to use the keyboard, it apparently is an issue with the stock ROM. So here's what I'm looking for and cannot find ANYWHERE (yes, I've searched and asked before in another thread and got no where).
I want a calendar option where I can have multiple calendars on the phone. At work, I have 3 schedules/calendars I look at and would like one for personal use. My problems with the phone started when I tried to use the calendar for the first time and it only has been worse since. I'd like to correct that and give me the option to keep updated with multiple schedules.
I also do not want to give up MS Excel/PowerPoint/Word. I use the Wifi quite a bit, well did before I couldn't type anything without freezing, so I can't lose that or MMS/SMS texts. I need all the basic stuff but wouldn't mind trying out the slide to unlock or the cube as everyone says. My buddy has the Touch and the cube is kinda cool but it's not a must. Games, I'll take as many as I can get! I've tried using emulators for SNES games (Punchout rules!) and it just never worked right. I'm a solitaire junkie (84 seconds, beat that!) but wouldn't mind others like freecell, tetris, bowling, Hold'Em or whatever would be good "sitting on the john" time killers.
Can anyone here help me? The main thing is the calendars which I cannot find with searching for almost an hour at work today. haha!
oh yeah, and if something could overclock it for faster speeds, I'd be happy unless the new ROM is fast enough. The weather feature would be really nice as well. Any other cool features I should know about??
At the moment I'm using TTran's open touch biggy 4.0. I was using itje's touch it 2.3 before, and liked it alot, but that phone broke and when I got the new one I wanted to try something new. Pretty much everything you need is included in it, and it runs very fast and smooth. I highly recommend it.
So with that, I can have multiple schedules? Is it possible to relabel them?
Am I looking for something that just isn't made or does no one understand what it is I'm looking for? I'm trying to get this to work for my work but I need multiple schedules.
It doesn't exist that I know off... unfortunately, ActiveSync and pocket outlook will not allow multiple mailboxes/addressbooks/CALENDARs. I wish it did... but it doesn't. At least there isn't any way that I'm aware off.
Ugh! someone should get to modding! I bet enough people would use it to justify the time. Plus, I'll throw in $20. haha
screw it. I'm going to flash the Open Touch 4.0 Biggy in a day or two when I have time. My only question is, do I download the file to the computer and put it as it is on the Wing or do I unzip it then put the "MyFirstROM" folder on the wing? It just says d/l it then open. Open on which machine? Also, I did a backup of my contacts to the card but if I flash it, will reloading from the software give me all my contacts back? What do i need to do so I don't lose a TON of contacts?
I am assuming you haven't used Hard-SPL yet? You have more to do than just flash a ROM
I've read on here you don't have to Hard-SPL to go with a new rom unless it calls for it and the Open Touch 4.0 supposedly doesn't need it. Am I wrong?
I had the stock tmobile rom, and I updated to Open Touch 3.0 without Hard-SPL and mine runs fine. I think for other roms, you may have to, but usually the rom will specify it.
no need for add/remove programs here! simply go to start-settings-today-items, uncheck touchflo, hit ok. go to system tab,remove programs, and remove the 2d! no extra programs needed. it may take a few minutes to uninstall but i have not had the uninstall fail on me yet.
Failed for me last week. Yep, tried what you said. 6.1 tilt. It WAS the newest release at the time.
Just a heads up.

Hmm. You say "no need for add/remove programs" but then "go to system tab, remove programs".
Also, please don't start threads unless you're contributing. This should have either been posted in the Manilla 2d thread, or not at all. We all know how to remove apps. I know your new, but maybe reading the forum rules wouldn't hurt.
SkTool is work.
Please englighten me - why does the 2d **** not work on non-htc devices as advertised in the main manila 2d thread?

Because Manilla is an HTC creation and only works on HTC phones. It's like putting the Mac OS on a PC. Apple made it for Macs, and it only works for Macs

This Does Not Work On Non HTC Devices, Stop Asking
why do you want sh... on your device ? Pure pleasure
Removing Manila
although its gr8 to have manila on HTC touch (i thank da xda guys), but if at all u wanna remove it, try removing it by SKtools.. google sktools and u'll find it. its pretty easy to uninstall but u cant uninstall thru phone's native "remove programs"
I'm not asking whether it works or not, I got that obviously already, I just wanted to know why. And thank You but I think the PC/Mac parallel is a bit exaggerated cos HTC and ASUS for example are not that different like ASUS and iPhone.
The reason I referred to Manila 2D as **** was exactly the reason that it requires specifically a HTC device. Therefore, it's **** for me as I can't do anything with it owning an ASUS device. And I just wanted to know why.

Because HTC locked it to their devices and specific files are needed that do not work on non HTC phones.
OK, thanks for a clear and concrete reply.
This thing isn't removing from my Kaiser...I've followed all instructions but everytime I try and remove, it gets to the end and then says ...
"It wasn't fully uninstalled, do you want to remove from the Remove Programs list?"
I've tried rebooting, then trying again, taking it out of the Today Items list, and still no joy - how do I get this pointless pile of crap off my phone!!!!!!!!!
Appreciate your help!
Hard reset and reload a backup that You recently made?

Thought that'd be the case, fortunately Vodafone are giving me a new phone tomorrow anyway beacuse my phone keeps receiving MMS (the same ones) over and over again, they reckon its the phones fault!!
What a waste of time this Manilla 2D is, worst more pointless thing I've ever installed!!
somone lock this thread and delete it. as its going no were.
@ ashleyhall : your phone was recieving the msgs due to a program you installed. a hard reset will fix your msgs problem and manila being on your phone. good day.

Ahhh ok, Vodafone didn't have a clue, checked the network, changed my price plan (how pointless!), my phones acknowledging an MMS being read, but not Delivered - lets see if the new phone cures the problem, then I'll shove the same apps back onto it.
I need a break from WM6, considering Android...but a little scared!!
mods please close thread
Hi people,
I got a big problem regarding my XDA Nova.
I installed Touch Settings on it, but every time I put something in the mediahub (for example EyePhoto for pictures) and launch it, pimg.exe (pictures and videos) AND Eyephoto shows up. The same happens with every program. I read that I need to overwrite the mediahubmini.exe with the patched one, but I get an error if I do it. Already tried to stop the process with memmaid, but this doesnt work either. Cant overwrite/delete it.
I already did a hard reset but I did a softreset when it came to software branding, so I dont have any O2 programs on it. I dont think thats the cause but this may matter.
Thanks in advance
Try FdcSoft Task Manager to kill it.
Umm..I was able to kill the process mediahubmini.exe, but I still get an error if I try to overwrite it.
This is what it looks like
(sorry its German, I actually prefer English versions. It says something like:
Cant overwrite mediahubmini, make sure there is enough space and it is not write protected)
Is it possible that it cant be overwritten because it is write protected?
Is there a program like fileassassin for pocket PC?
Would there be a difference if I got myself a MDA Touch or VPA Touch?
Maybe it's locked 'cause it's system file. Try TotalCommander CE to delete "System" attribute and then delete it (using TotalCmd too). If it doesn't work, Resco Explorer should help.
I already had all this programs on my phone, but i'll try to get rid of the "system" thingy(dont know how to but ill figure it out)
So..I tried it with total commander and the picture shows what I found.
Seems to be burnt into the rom.
What do you think?
If others deleted it and it works, it will work for you too
P.S. You can use free Spb Screenshot to take screenshots of your display
Give me an example of someone who got it working on a XDA nova.
The next time ill get a genuine HTC Touch.
I really cant change the settings you see in the picture.
by the way: Using my camcorder is a bit faster
I think I found out why it didnt work.
This phone is not cid unlocked, so I couldnt flash mediahubmini.exe into the rom.
I gave it back after all..ill buy a real htc touch and cid unlock it.
Thanks for the help gronostaj
Hi,
I've been stupid. The HD2 isn't the first Windows Mobile device I've owned, and I should know better than to download software off of the internet.
I downloaded Swype from a website, 1800pocketpc or something like that. I've no idea what version, but it's basically changed my phone password, so now I can't even get into my device to uninstall it.
Most of the posts I've seen online have said the only way around this is a hard reset. Can someone else see if they can give me another option (i.e if they know what Swype changes the password to, etc).
Any help would be massively appreciated!
sounds like the 3.9 version (kind of light grey?) which changes passwords on machines that dont report a t mobile base rom.
There are several threads, and like you, i haven't yet seen a sucessfull outcome that didn't include a hard reset.
If you want to play with swype (its great) look for the one ripped from the omnia.(version 2, i think, , , )
There is a version that works on the non-Tmo phones, can upload if requested.
For the problem you are experiencing, you need to replace modelname.txt in the windows directory if you can access it. I'm not sure if you mean the SIM lock or phone PIN, if its SIM you can cancel and overwrite the file; if the latter I do not know a way around it. Sorry.
I had the same with a custom ROM from here and the Swype cab to go with it. I did a hard reset and installed Swype, then set the pin code back. No problems since.
Honestly, the only thing you have to do is call MS for a key, tell them you got a new HTC phone, and you can't get on the Marketplace. They'll give you the key after being on hold for 10 minutes or so. Just did it last night. This crap about registry edits and certs is baloney.
Worked fine for me, I didn't do all those wasted steps. No point in doing it. Get the key, save it, reuse it as many times as you want. Done.
Discuss.
What's the news?
Also you clearly didn't understand what registry edits and cert stuff is about.
Well, the phone's activated now and everything works 100%. Do explain your argument.
I think he dl the ROM with Chevron built in. So he is right to a certain extent.

Every now & then your phone automatically locks apps and dissables opening and downloading new ones. The thing is, to unlock it you will have to connect your phone to your PC and unlock it every time it get's locked. Unless you edit the registry so it will never lock again This whole activation with the registry has nothing to do with the LIVE and Hotmail activation. And about that, I think everybody here knows by now you can call MS for the free activation key. But this is XDA we like to tweek our way in, And for the most of us editting registry is easier than pissing straight in the toilet

So when it says "not available at this time, try later..." that's what you're talking about?

Yeah exactly. Since you have WP7 you'll probably have that unlock tool right? Now I have to be honest I havn't tried the registry edit yet because I changed bacl to Android a while ago(I can't survive without Whatsapp haha), but if the story's are true that registry edit could fix some anoying problems with your apps. I'm sure you figure it out. And otherwise try youtube. I learned a lot of tweeking by watching simple totorials with all the links needed

The other REALLY annoying thing is wifi is not all that reliable. "Searching" comes up and hangs. Tried all of the ROM's out there... Works every now and again, usually doesn't.

Err. No.
It's a developer unlock, allowing you to sideload applications to your phone.
Activation
I activated via the chat function on the (dutch) microsoft support site. They didn't ask for an IMEI number just name and phone number.
