VJBigPhone, T-Mobile Videobutton on MDAPro

Hi all,
I am aware about all the other threads but yet could not get across some nonsense on my MDA Pro.
I went back to the t-Mobile ROM because of german support on many features but running ozVGA now successfully with two exceptions:
1. Each time I reset the device, I have to reinstall vjbigphone (0.91) and re-run the .exe to get my dialer back to full screen. VJ did a real got job, but I hope anyone coud tell me, what could be wrong?
2. Does anyone know, how to get rid of the stupid and ugly video-button in the t-mobile dialer? I replaced all BMPs with the one's from iMate, but yet video is the stupid grey. flat button.
Once this is solved, I will write down exactly how to get really the tiny machine running with the best tools for best results.
Greetings

ndee: why do you have to re-install the app?
After a soft reset, what happens when you choose the "load and fix" option from the tray?
I am hoping to spend some time on this app over the next few days. Many apps being fixed, one a at time...

Hi Vijay,
when I softreset, everything on the phone is back to the tiny layout. Even though I "load and fix".
Only workaraound I figured out is reinstall :-(
ndee

Strange - I know we spoke about this before, but then, after you re-install it works?
Have you tried not loading VJBigPhone, soft reset, load the phone (eg press green key, so you can see Tiny buttons) and then load VJBigPhone. Does that make any difference? Re-installing shouldn't make any difference, it doesn't load any settings etc from the registry etc...
v

I have some similiar problems. I'm using also the neweset german ROM on my MDA Pro and after a soft reset I don't have to reinstall the app, but I have to close it and restart it again to gain access to the phone application. Without close VJBigPhone nothing happens, after starting the application again everything works fine (till the next soft reset, which happens every morning after the daily backup)
Wolfgang

I have an idea what might be the problem then.
The code was modified a while back to try to find the "phone" program without you having to specify the name in your own language (eg "telefon" instead of "phone"). However, it's possible that if the phone isn't found, it's getting confused. I'll try to look at the code again soon.
I'm not writing any new programs for a while while I do updates to all the old stuff
V

out of sudden, I dont need to reinstall anymore. Just after reset, I run vjbigphoneres and phone comes up full screen. Dont know what I did and how long it will last - keep you informed though - thx so far.
Any solution for the ugly video button of TM insight?
ndee

TM Button: I know you've spoken about it for a while, but I've got no experience of it, I don't really use my Universal I think someone (you?) posted one before, but could you send me a screenshot if you've got appropriate software, and if you have them, a zip of your extended rom?

"This device is restricted from downloading this file t

My Qtek 9100 with the latest english generic ROM was working fine for months. This morning, I removed the SIM and put it back in. Since then, it won't activesync, I can't drag n drop files to it through Explorer, and when I try to download a CAB file via IE, I now get this error message:
"This device is restricted from downloading this file type."
Any ideas? I don't understand what happened to it! It's like it moved to a very strict secure mode all by itself. It doesn't make any sense!

It seems that my security policies are all whacked up. The device doesn't even see the installed applications in the "Software uninstaller manager" app anymore. I tried rebooting and soft-resetting, no good.

ok guys, in order to fix my problem, I NEED one of you to send me ALL the keys and data info from this registry folder:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Please export that registry for me as a text file and attach it here (or copy/paste it), so I can retype it manually on my Qtek 9100 phone (I can't import anything on my PDA atm as I can't download anything to it, it won't let me).
If none of you do this small favor to me, I am screwed. I would need to hard reset and lose everything (I can't back up anything).

Here Goes...
Ok, I am running the latest "T-mobile custom" ROM, ROM version 2.24.10.1 WWE. I should have no policies enabled... I have typed out all of the keys and values under this in notepad in the format name-value. all values should be DWORD. Hope this helps....
__________
Edit: My phone is a t-mobile MDa, don't think that should matter...

Thank you very much, much appreciated.

I have this issue but I can't view the txt doc can someone paste it here or email it me in the body so I can add them manually or if ur really kind email me the cab file. I have the htc wizard running the most beautiful edition rom. will this work by any chane? I can't download any file this device is restricted from downloading this file type every bloody time... (bloody being f*cking)

Edit:
Okay I found that my security policies on my MDA did NOT match totally with the one that was posted here. Little adjustments had to be made in the value of the d-words as well as 3 dwords had to be added.
I also found ADDITIONAL D-Words:

I have not checked if changing these have fixed my issue or not so lets find out I will post back with the result. Should I try removing the additional ones found on my MDA?

Merely changing the security Policies as listed in the .txt did not fix the problem

I have this problem too, I can't even edit the registry so I can't even try to put the policies back again. By the looks of things that won't work anyway.
Anyone got a solution that doesn't involve wiping the phone? Not that I know how to do that anyway. I have an XDA Orbit from O2.
Thanks,
Sapan

Same problem here
I have the same problem (XDA Orbit 2)
Worked fine for the first few days - was able to download CABs etc. Then it just stopped. I've read elsewhere about root certificates. Could this be the problem?

this device is restricted from downloading this file type
I have had this problem on my HTC touch with windows mobile 6.
This microsoft bug can make you loose a lot of work, time and data.
Are the Microsoft programmers drinking while they work?
Here is the solution I found!

I hope it fixes your problems too.

Restricted Download !!!!! Hum
Hello all. I also have a Qtek 9100 for more than 2 years.
Honestly i never had that problem. And i already flashed undreads of ROMs and software to it.
One thing is that i always have Backup Software for any eventuality. Things can always go wrong.
Tips
First - Try to use Resco Registery Editor,its a good Software to make any changes "Delete/Rename/Copy/Add etc,etc.
Second - Look for Its Right,the TNT Master. It will be dificult to find him as he is getting is Engineer Degree. You can also ask Octaivoi,he is a Wizard Master 2.
Third - Keep an exautive search in XDA Devs and eventualy you all will find the answere.
Fourth - Get a Backup Software,get back all the software that cant be recovered. "Eugenia software can always be recovered". And FLASH a new ROM. There are many,many Beautiful and advanced Wizard ROMs arround XDA Dev.
Hope that any of these tips can help

SOLVED!!! ThankS!!!

first had this problem with the empty "remove programs" list 6 months ago, glad to see this whacked-out solution that works!!
Conclusion: Microsoft Windows Mobile messed up the security settings, so let Microsoft Word Mobile put it back automatically, voila!

And ofcourse, I've read about this "fix" soo many times at so many places, and it works for everyone but me >.< I tried all the different ways theres to it, nothing worked. One more thing, shutting it off and THEN pressing soft reset doesn't make sense. Anyway I tried, and it didnt fix. Still got the file deletion/changing restriction. Can't sync, can't get online, download files nothing ... If only Microsoft cared to fix this. Anyone any idea? Dutch phone, Hi provider, rom version: 1.93.404.1 NLD

A Real Fix
Has anyone on this board found A REAL FIX to this problem?
Because I just got my tilt 6 months ago was doing good and now cannot download, cannot stream, cannot play cellular videos, radio.
I have tried the office word solution. That did not work for me!
Is there a Real Solution?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I'm sorry it didn't work on your device. I had the same problem, no sync, no file copy/rename on the device, no cab install, no programs in "add/remove programs" on my Mio A702 thing. The MS Word solution worked smoothely and now I have everything as it should be. So I can confirm the "word thing" actually works . Don't know why it won't do the trick in your case

New XDA Exec - Message on screen 'Policy Change'

Hi All - My old XDA died and I bought a 'used one' from O2 (call that 'u1') - so far so normal. O2 also repaired my dead one with a shiny new one (call that one 'n1')
Here is my problem. I backed everything up from 'u1' using SPB Backup. When I tried to restore it all to 'n1', the restore got about 90% through and a system message came up saying 'due a policy change, you need to enter your password'. There was also a drop down box offering anything from 0 minutes to 24 hours' to tell the password when to kick in). This message was generated by the device and NOT SPB. I've never seen this before on an XDA. Has anyone else?
Firstly, I've never come across that message before - any one know if it's because my 'n1' has got newer features on it?
Once the restore completed I soft reset and I was presented with a new screen that I haven't seen before on boot-up. Blue Background with the Windows logo and the words 'Windows Mobile 5'..and the device just hung there. If I soft reset, it just gets to that screen and hangs.
I then HARD reset the device and although I still get this new 'splash screen' (just after the O2 one) it only stays there for around 25 seconds and then the device behaves normally
1. Any ideas what the 'policy change' screen is all about
2. What's the purpose of this extra splash screen?
..and does anyone know if technically it SHOULD be possible to restore from a backup file made on ANOTHER XDA?
Thanks everyone - appreciate any advice you can offer
ROM DATE
u1 = 30 Nov 2005
n1 = 11 Apr 2006
EXTROM
u1 1.13.188
n1 1.30.162

Well, if you wanted, you could flash the old ROM if anyone has a copy, that way you'll have your "Old" policies back. XD

Thanks...
Thanks for your reply...
I'm mostly OK with PCs but what exactly does 'policy' mean in this context (for the XDA). Is it some sort of security thing?
Any idea why I'm getting this extra splash screen? Is it 'normal'?
S

Jargon aside m8 and what you have is a problem where the backup from the old rom is conflicting with the newer rom and this is quite normal... either restore your old rom (if you have it) or start from scratch with the newer rom apart from the sync with outlook.
To be honest with you I could not explain exactly what policy means since this word could relate to anything in particular and is not necessarely computer jargon...in this case i would say that its the equivalente that some files on your windows system are missmatching???..... http://www.answers.com/policy&r=67 .
WBR

Cheers...
Hi m8 - You're right, it does appear to be a conflict with the different ROMs. What I've found is that in the NEWER ROM there's some extra applets/progs. The one that seems to be causing the problem is the LOCK applet, which I don't think I have on my OLD XDA. It allows you to set a time frame whereby the device will prompt for a password. When I open that on the new one, the screen looks identical to the window that's popping up during the restore.
I think rather than try and restore onto the new one, I'll simply reinstall everything
Thanks for helping me to clarify things!

TouchFlo menu text corrupted, anyone know how to fix this?

My Duals menu text has corrupted, anyone know of a fix for this (that preferrably doesn't involve a hard reset and reloading all my software).
I have done a hard reset and it did fix it but as soon as I started loading progs on it, it corrupted, haven't been able to pin it down to a particular program yet either. Sort of losing the will to live with all these hard resets trying to fix it. Everything else works fine, I've sort of put up with it for awhile, but now it's really starting to bug me.
Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

go back to t-mobile ..
it's probably not your fault.

Looks like something's over-written a system font. Do you know what apps you installed prior to it going again? If it was okay after the hard reset then I'd have a serious look at what you put on and in what order.

At first I thought it was Mahjongg, so I left that off a build, then I thought it was Windows Live.
Think I'll have to go back to very basics, was hoping someone might have a similiar prob and could point me in the direction of the system font. I'll post in here if I find out what program it was that did it.

Confused
Ok, so I did a number of hard resets and installed a few progs and did a few soft resets. Doesn't appear to be related to any particular program being installed.
I thought of trying the change font cabs that are floating around but they seem to have progressed the problen further and it's no longer just the TouchFlo cube it's now text on the calendar and text on the unlock screen.
Anyone point me in the direction of the original font used in WM6, I'm hoping loading that will overwrite any corruption, if not the problem could be a bit more deep seated, if all else fails I'll be looking for a recommendation for one of the Nike cooked ROM's instead.
Any pointers appreciated

Lost
I played around with installing and uninstalling some of the font cabs floating around, some make it worse and corrupt text on SMS, emails and calendar items, other fonts just keep the corruption to the TouchFlo system.
Where can I find the system font on WM6, I've looked in the fonts folder, there's nothing there and none of the files in the root of WINDOWS look like fonts to me.

use sprite backup from the cd that came with it and then perform a hard reset what ever you do DO NOT add the windows folder to sprite backup using sprite backup wont delete data you choose and just run the file when u finish hard reset and wala u get all the files you chose to back up back

You star
I forgot I had Sprite Backup, nice one cheers

Check out HTC.com as there is an update to maybe correct the problem you are talking about...

Just got the same picture but only in the Connection Manager and in the screen calibration utility. Instead of real words I see the same symbols like it was described and shown in the first message.
All other programs show normal fonts. I prefer to have HR as a last tool to correct this problem...
Anyway I have Sprite Backup installed. Hard Reset just for experiment restore normal view of fonts in the Connection Manager. Also when I try to restore some previous archive of Sprite (it scheduled to backup every night), it works fine with correct fonts 2-3 hours, and after that I see symbols instead of words...
I seems to me that fonts are overwritten by someone...
Anybody knows what font is used to display text in the Connection Manager and in the calibration screen (word SCREEN)? Where can I find correct font and what is the place in the Windows folder for that?

Unable to Launch HTC Sense

Hey guys,
Right now my Leo is unable to launch HTC sense after I did a soft-reset after modifying the registry "Change - CacheSize to 4096" gotten from the Leo Hints & Tips thread as well as uninstalling Nimbuzz.
Also I also created a shortcut for Task Manager to put into the start menu and added it to the Manilla shortcut at the main page.
A couple of soft-resets still doesn't solve it, and sometimes it will say tap here to start HTC Sense but tapping doesn't do anything. Able to open the dialing menu but takes quite awhile.
Pressing the contacts menu gives the error message "The file "contacts" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted cert, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
Any ideas?

Got the same problem.
Duttys HD Holy Grail
I tried to reinstall the rom but I can't connect with usb.
did you try that?

same problem here.
rom is 1.48 from stock.

also had the unable to launch sense error, couldnt find a way to solve it so i had to hard reset (AGAIN!!)
having to link 90 contacts with facebook manually sucks!

Does anyone have been able to solve this problem? I faced it today, I was doing some tweaks to my HD2, did some soft resets but then sudenlly it stops working, Sense freezes and has been unable to launch it, sometimes I can access to start menu but I can't load anthing, every link I tried to open tells me that the file cannot be opened either it's not signed or one of its components cannot be found. Nothing but the phone can be opened.
My rom is 1.48 stock.
Is the only solution for this a hard reset?

I faced similar problem before if I added the tweak of FATFS=4096. I did "hard reset" and then reinstalled all stuffs. I reinstalled all programs and readded the tweaks except FATFS one. The phone resumes normal.
It seems to me that the tweak of FATFS may not work on HD2.

Yes, actually I managed to remove that tweak without hard reset it, reverted it to FATFS=0 and everything came back to normal, my HD2 is now like it was before.
We MUST warn every HD2 owner to not apply this tweak.

I've cautioned this particular tweak on the main thread before.
changing the FATFS would hanged the HD2 (ROM: 1.48 Asia Region) and you'll need to hard reset to revert to the default settings.

Ohhh I didn't see that...
Thanks calyon!

HOw you do that?!

First I disabled HTC Sense from Home, then I move to the top of the start menu the registry editor (in my case it's SKTools Registry Explorer), then I turned it off and on several times and every time I tried to run the registry editor, when I was unable to run it I turned it off and on again, until I was able to run the registry editor, then navigated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS and changed back the FATFS to 0.
I don't know how many times I've had to turn it on and off, but I thinks it's better than do a hard reset, specially if you don't have a backup or your data.

Thank you very much vhjc... you saved all of us lots of painfull time!

Hello,
I just changed the FATFS registry value to 4096 based on the tweaks hint & tips and now my HD2 hangs and couldn't launch the HTC Sense app. Reading the responses above, it seems that it's possible to disable HTC Sense from Today setting in this kind of condition. However no matter how I tried to click on the "Setting" icon on the Start Menu screen, I only got the error window saying that the program is missing and we need to restore or reinstall... I couldn't connect the device to my laptop thru activesync to remove the registry since the activesync app (the switcher between storage device & activesync window) failed to load as well...
Could you please share how did you manage to go to the Today setting window to disable the HTC Sense? I couldn't see any other options since no other shortcuts are available, nor I can run any app from the start menu Is there a way to load HD2 standard WinMo OS in safe mode only...?
I'm really desperate on this situation and as much as possible I don't wanna hard reset my HD2 since I haven't done any backup yet...
Please help... Thank you very much in advance!
cheers

Im getting the unable to launch htc sense message too, even after a hard reset the problem re-occurs. can anyone advise me what to do??

Sorry, should have mentioned this above, I have not changed the registry setting of fatfs to anything other than 0, so this is not whats causing this problem for me. I have tried using a reg editor ro confirm the setting is 0 still no luck.
before the problem occurs i get an error reporting message saying theres been a problem with manila.exe
Any help pleeeease....
