well i just wanna suggest something about the format of this forum. why is it not an organized forum as some other gsm forums are. It must be categorized according to different topics as software or hardware related etc. Also the search mechanism is not very good. whenever we try to search abt some topic it gives the result as some 2**** topics found and hense very difficuilt to find things of ur interest and that is why forum is getting too much messy day by day..............
So any solution to this problem is awaited
Biggest problem in boards are ppl like U. They don't bother looking for the right forum for their post. Often they double-post or even cross-post!
They galantly overlook the offered search function. Even if they try them (once), they claim, they couldn't find anything at all. When the search function is told to combine the search words (AND- instead of OR-search) it's very useful.
Preview is a thing posters like don't know how to use. They wonder what certain functions (e.g. mark up possibilities) are for, but if there's no button "DON'T CLICK ME! I MIGHT TELL YA SOMETHING ABOUT MARK UP!", they don't care whether they used it correct or not.

Hi!
I just installed "HTC Touch Home Plugin" onto my Herald. It creates an empty area in the home screen and shell32.exe crashes all the time.
I updated my device to WM6 using:
HTC_P4350_SVE_4.17.413.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
and i installed the touch plugin using:
HTC_Touch_Home_Plugin.cab (1,46MB)
Any ideas why this is happening? I really want the touch plugin and not the SPB one so please dont link to other apps that do "almost" the same thing.
Theres probably 3-4 topics on the top 10 list containing questions and (some) answers to what you seek.
I noticed that you are reltativly new here (me too, somewhat ) so I will give the adwise I have been given and probably a couple thousand other new ones have recieved too....read, read, search, read, and when you feel that you are about to give up, read more.
When I first came to this forum, I wanted everyone with the knowlege I need to come to my rescue ASAP, when I had a problem with something, but thats not the way it works here.
Ofcourse most here are willing to help out, but when the same questions come a million times, then its just tiresome, and no one bothers to answer cause its been answered before.
But I will try a little adwise, if your HTC Home doesnt work, try another one, remove the one you installed, and install another one, maybe make some changes to some of the files after you have installed. I made (or made a repost) of how to make the homescreen work with your native language OS..

hi!
thanks for the reply, i incorrectly thought i had searched but i had searched for something else on this forum earlier. I apologize for making another post about this!
no need for apologizing, it was just info
here is a new version of Esmertec Jbed (java manager) 20080428.2.1
1- unzip it
2- install the cab
Besides that a little bit description should help ?
@Aqrab
Thanks for that update it worked a treat for me. I managed to fry my Java client somehow and removed it trying to get Sky Mobile working so this is appreciated as I wasn't entirely sure what I should be looking for.
@aragornol
Are you saying that you know what this is and think a bit more information is required for other readers or that you don't know what it does? If the former, how about you add to the conversation? This has been the third post from you I've read today that has been overtly aggressive and is off-putting to people like me who are new around here.
This version has timezone issue (not important for most of the users). It returns current time with GMT timezone instead of current locale.
I am back to 20080328.3.1 for now.
@ericsson68 don`t want to be offtopic ... but to explain ... it is written in rules that DO search before POSTING ... this is rule which I prefer above all ... I read threads about 5 - 8 hours a day and I`m sure I`m not speaking just for myself that it annoys me very much to see 20 threads or so just about crap that was answered sometimes few times but mostly more than that. I`m not the moderator of this forum but I am surprised that they allow that. I am moderator at few forums myself and I would ban the users that do this. I am not an teen which is full of hatred or discriminates other but to be honest it really annoys me when somebody is able to register and post crap while he can search and find answer quicker. I don`t take this bull**** that someone is in hurry and don`t have time to read. Searching take less then registering and posting a question. Besides that in few generations we will have tons of dumb people who can just ask and aks and ask for things that has been answered ... do you get it ? I simply dislike mess in forums, this makes searching HARD for people that REALLY SEARCH.
according to this program no i don`t know what this does and I bet you are shaking to shoot me down with answer to search it myself. yes i can but that`s another story. When I post something it would be polite to attach description to save everybody`s time.
all i want to do is to have clean forum to make either searching or reading easier. but that without help of others - that will simply ignore such - excuse me - noobs or advise them to search is impossible. And at last but not least this is XDA - Developers. Developers in my opinion (as I am one of them) search first and then when they don`t find and answer then and only then ask ... Maybe I can look like aggressive and arogant in your eyes but hey this doesn`t bother me. As far as I know I cam here and read before asking stupid questions I can say I am "clear" and I didn`t bother anybody`s time with even reading my stupid posts or answering my stupid questions ...
and it`s time to stop this cause i`m heavy offtopic. Just take this as my manifest for the future ... I won`t even say a word to this so you can save your time by replying ...
guys dont fight
aragornol if you dont know what this
its a java manager its will replace your old java manager with this new one
with the new one you can run more java apps or game that not work in the old version
Does it allow you to force a resolution for an application? I have the same problem, mentioned in this thread, IE games appear as a rectangle in the top-left corner of the screen.
Furthermore: does this app run the majority of the java which is supported by the built in javamanager?
Another thought: will this in some sort effect my existing built-in (TAO) java virtual machine ? (Kilobyte virtual machine as it is, more about this).
Hi All
In my contacts lists I have the windows contacts and the SIM contacts, all there to confuse me.
is there anyway i can only show the windows / outlook contacts when accessing the contacts on my phone ? I dont really want to delete the SIM contacts as I use them in another phone occasionally
Any ideas ?
Cheers
one idea for you, SEARCH
The answer is easy to find. You gotta work for your knowledge on this site.
waste of post instead of helping...i guess so is mine but i would help if i knew or not post at all..
well documented that setting must be cooked into a Rom. If you simply toggle the Registry Key it will reset itself!
Kaiser tweak setting does it for me when advanced cong did not work.

Reboot, many reports that it doesn't survive a soft reset/power-down & up.

It has worked for me when I have reboot numerious times, after flashing 3 different roms L26, Dutty's and others. Some of the programs I use require soft resets after installation. I usually have to got through at least 4 resets to get my programs and tweaks installed properly.

Nice Answer and terribly helpful that.
I did infact try a search which brought little that would help other than a hundred or so posts containing the odd word.
Please stop having a go at those who want some seemingly simple help advice. If you know it GIVE IT.....
I use a range of different forums and all have been great to use with a wealth of information to help and guide us mortals out of a hole as well as offering info on how to make the best of things. These forums are backed up by some pretty knowledgeable folk. This is one of the best I've used.
However its also one of few forums where some of its members who deem themselves as gods regularly seem to want pound those who simply want some help.
I often read posts on here where people have asked a pretty simple question and got berrated for it. All they get as a response is '...SEARCH..SEARCH...SEARCH......SEARCH.... ' JUST HELP for godsake
C'mon man, theres soooo much info on here ,IT CAN BE hard to search for the right answer especially if the correct search terms or keywords arent being used, it can become frustrating for anyone seeking help and therefor easier just to create a new post. No ones fault just the sign of a great forum.
Please though....have patience and offer help. We're not all gods
Cheers
use the file under my attachment. it will hide ur sim contacts and it will survive soft resets/power down. This cab was posted under L26's V9 thread.

Glad you found it ssunstone. Some people in these forums can be really anal about giving out info and get off on telling them to search. Sometimes its valid but I see many times when it isnt.
I agree for new users to the site it can be incredibly confusing due to the shear volume of info and threads, added to this is the fear that doing something wrong may brick your expensive device its no wonder that people ask for conformation.
ive got to replace the screen as i cracked it , a new screen is on the way, with all the neccessary tools, but whilst i have it bits what mods can i do/are there?
ive seen the one that allows you to tilt the screen more
so any ideas
if there were hardware mods I'm sure search would find them.
i have butnot no real sucess,
it hard when people want ot mod their kaiser for a specific reason, i know do what those reasons are, and not everyone has put in the tags or title "kaiser hardware Mod"
thats why i started this thread, to see if anyone know of any mods specifically, the i may know what ot search for.
here are the results
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...e+mod&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
losts of posts with the words, kaiser, hardware and mod, 99% not about what im after but the rest are people asking for info on how to do a mod. and 1 that i have already found and mentioned
Bruce, a very active and extremely helpful user helped me understand the basics of flashing a rom. It finally was sucessful and I now have one of duttys awesome roms installed.
The process helped me grasp some of the general aspects about the phone, and I am very greatful for the help I already got, because I would never have dared to leap into it myself.
What some of you guys might not understand is that the information here can be quite overwhelming despite all the newbie guides. To put it roughly: Flashing a rom appearantly boils down to installing a .cab, placing a exe in a folder together with a spl.nbh and then running the exe. Then you replace the .nbh with your chosen rom-file and run the .exe again.. There you have it.. More or less described in two sentences, but when you read about it here its just... Woah.. Bigtime information overload.
My point is that I have no doubt that you get the same questions over and over and over again, and it must leave the impressions that people are to lazy to look into the things themselves. In some cases that may be true, but I bet that in most cases it aint. It is simply a question about things sounding more complicated than it is when you browse such a comphrensive forum as this.
So despite the newbie-guides, pre-guides and "for dummies guides" you will still get questions that has already been answered. And in most cases it is a sign of unsecurity more than lazyness.... And maybe because that enthusiasts (the polite way of saying nerds) may THINK they explain things as simple as possible, but for a newbie it is still extremely complicated.
Just a little thought after my own first experiences with tampering with my phone.
With that said, my "new" phone left me with some questions:
- Is a cooked ROM a legal piece of software? Not that I care much about it, Im just curious. It looks like a windows with a very comprehensive skin, but afaik it is a whole new OS, and I doubt that the chefs have been building those up from scratch. Does that mean that it is a hacked windows or what? EDIT: Found an interesting read and got it answered: Not legal, but noone cares I guess.. We all paid the software the day we bought the phone. The day we see phones without preinstalled OS the case may be a different I guess
- With my new Dutty ROM I was forced to give up my danish interface. Is it possible to change at least some of the interface back to danish in some way? The ROM itself have no built-in support for danish, but maybe through a language pack of some sort? Also my phonenumbers shows up in this format: (XXX) XXX-XX which is quite annoying for a dane who is used to XXXXXXXX. Is there any way to change this back to the way it were? I have not been able to find the options in anywhere of the settings-menu (99 % sure it isnt there, looked both in regional settings and phone settings). I have brief experiences with tampering with the registry file, but I am reluctant to do so without proper guidance to where to modify it, but I assume that thats where I will do it?
I have already recieved extremely much help here and I WILL take my part in answering my share of inquiries on this board when I have the answers at hand.
Thank you in advance.
Mmmm...
"Also my phonenumbers shows up in this format: (XXX) XXX-XX which is quite annoying for a dane who is used to XXXXXXXX. Is there any way to change this back to the way it were?"
I may be wrong, but you should be able to do this with the 'Regional Settings' - Go to Settings Tab, Locale & Text, Regional and select the country you want from the 'Region' list. I'm not sure if this works for phone numbers though?
It is set to danish but only have impact on the currency and date formats.
If it was THAT easy, I deserved a whooping for asking.
