Any way to get back the Pocket IE welcome page?

Hi all,
Just got my 2nd new Kaiser (first one had White Screen of Death) and it also has the home page as a black screen with the HTC logo; not too usefull. Any ideas how to get back the Welcome Screen that has your most recently opened pages and search? Thanks for any ideas...

Ok, well I tried just copying over the default_0409.htm file (checked and all the image files etc. were already in the Windows directory). This brings up the correct looking page, but the Favourites and History buttons don't work; they open File Explorer at the Windows directory instead!
Would be glad for any ideas for what is missing on my Kaiser that I could copy over from the Hermes.
I have attached the file if anyone would care to have a look; I searched to see if any other html pages were linked for example, but I don't know script...

I tried the same thing but no luck

*bump*
Does no one else want this start page in IE? Thanks in advance for any ideas...

bump, that page is on the Mio A501 and it's pretty neat !

Guess no one else likes that page, thanks for the bump though! I have been fiddling but still can't get it to work....

Solved ------> HTC's PIE_Default_409.htm
Okay, There are two ways to do this!!!! The first is time consuming & involves multiple registry changes. I can walk you through it or send you a registry file to import (if you wanna trust me ) or you can do it the easy way!
Easy Way: I'm sure many of you have the absolutely great proggy SK Tools. Well, the new release (4.1.21.x) has a "Replaced Rom Files" function. So either buy the great program or download the trial. Launch the "Replaced Rom Files" tool & check the box for the item marked PIE_Default_xxx.htm (xxx = your language code), either click & hold or check the box, then select action, then select "Restore Rom File". Then enjoy your new "original" HTC PIE Homepage with expandale History & Favorites!

Not sure, might help if you post a JPEG of the screen? The TXT file you included does not work for me.

I just put together a cab file for this today using some files posted by another xda member (I don't remember who it was to credit them).

DANG IT YOU DOG! I jumped the gun on my post! I spent the last week flashing back & digging to find all the references that kept me from changing the by just importing the default_xxx.htm. I finished my cab & logged back in to post it & darn it all if you hadn't beat me to it!

LOL. It's pretty simple to correct with all the correct files. I actually just copied the files to my Windows directory when I first tried it out but figured I'd post a cab file to make it easier on everyone else

thanks for sharing, works fine on the Nike too.

Hi,
I tried running the CAB on my stock Orange HTC ROM, but I still get the orange homepage, not the (more useful) Internet Explorer page as promised above! Any ideas?

Your folder structure must be different. Did you soft reset after install? Otherwise you can do it with SK Tools if it was part of the original ROM.

I did soft reset, but no joy. I may look into SK Tools, although I have just managed to get Opera Mini up and running, so may play around with that instead. Thanks for the advice!

You can go into PIE under Menu, Tools, Options, and see the path and filename for your current homepage. It's possible that Orange uses a different filename as the default page. If you tell me what the filename is and where it's located I can make an updated cab for you.

Okay, the path is

Thanks for your help.

Here you go. This file is for devices with the Orange ROM only!
You can uninstall the old one first.

Are you guys able to browse with PIE while on 3.5G/HSDPA?
After I open PIE, I receive this same screen on my Tilt, but I'm unable to browse anywhere (my hsdpa account is activated, of course).
I receive (in the bottom left corner) a message: "connecting", but nothing happens.
On the other hand, If I browse with WIFI on, using PIE, I can enter any URL without any problems at all.
In both cases, I can send & receive emails without any problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

As I replied to your other post, check your proxy settings. Which data plan do you have? Are you connecting to WAP or ISP?

Sort phone book First, Last

Hi there,
I'm fairly new to my Diamond but I love it a great deal.
There is one thing that disturbs me though and that is that I can't sort my phone book other than Name, which is "Last, First", and by Company (I don't bother about Company). I would like to be able to sort my contacts in First, Last Name order, I have a about 300 names in my list and it is really confusing when I don't find who I'm looking for anymore.
I would like to hear with you if there is a way to hack the register or any other solution for my issue.
And no, 3rd party application is not an option, sure, it would do the trick but I want to use and have easy access from the Contact tab.
All help appreciated.
Thanks!

there is a way, but it's not going to be fun, and you may want to do it on the computer in outlook instead.
Outlook on your PC and Windows mobile default to filing contacts as Last Name, First Name as you have found.
however, if you edit a contact, they both have a File as option. here you can select various different options, one of which being first name last name.
it's a bastard having to do it on all contacts, which is why you might want to do it on the computer instead.
hopefully, someone knows of a reg edit that'll fix it.

I developed an Outlook form a few years back that goes through all Contacts and sets the File As fields to First Name Last Name. Is this what you're after? I still have it but haven't used it in ages. Worked perfectly back then.
Feel free to try it (attached and I would recommend backing up your Outlook contacts in a PST first)

I will definitely try your form and I really hope that it does the trick.
But I think there should be a register hack out there somewhere.

In your contacts, on the Diamond, you have the option : "save as", but you've gotta do it manually for each one. Open a contact, tab the right soft-key (menu) choose edit, there you go

Export SMS thread to PC

Hello everybody.
I am not so active on this forum, but now I am asking for a little help.
Is there any way somehow to export a single SMS thread to my PC or to a file on the Kaiser SD-card?
I need extracts from a single sms thread for proof in a case, and therefore I need to be able to email it.

Sure there is. If you hit that little Icon along the top bar thingy called "Search" (third from the left) and put in you thread title you should be able to find it.

I think he's referring to sms messages as in sms/mms text messages.
I'd be interested in a solution for this too.
Chris

hi there
http://freewareppc.com/database/pimbackup.shtml
works great for me
deselect everything except Messages - click on that, clik Options, deselect all from email section and select what You need from SMS options
click next, select location, deselect "binary backup" and select all of the "keep ..." options = this way messages are left in Your Inbox
when You get that file copy it to PC, change extension to txt - now You can open it in notepad - it has A LOT ADDITIONAL INFO for every message so if You want You can open it in excel for easier editing
open excel, go to File/Open, on the bottom of that window "Files of type" change to "All Files" - find that txt and open it, it complains that it is not recognizible, clik ok, and on next window select "Delimited", click next, select Semicolon, click Finish, start editing - be carefull if You delete whole columns - sometimes some rows are miss-synchronized... just check the whole column before deleting it.
Hope this helps...
P.S. it was nice to finally be of some use on this forum so I got keyboard-happy on this

oh, yeah... the search thing... like search the forum?

Code for links in signature

What html code do I use for links in my signature? Have it link to say the thread on cognition or his site, the kernal thread or twitter?
Thanks in advance.

Forums don't use html code. They use BB Code. When you go to edit your signature, look for the icon that looks like the earth with a chainlink on it. That's the hyper link button. Self explanitory from there really...

Well that seems simple enough. Thanks man.

I don't have that.
any ideas? Also, what about making a picture the link? How do you do that?

Look at bbcode(dot)org(front-slash)examples (this 8 post thing is bringing me down... I tried to actually give you the code, but anything having to do with a weblink or the URL tag makes the forum angry). From there click "Posting Images" and it will give you an example that should work.
So you will need the image hosted somewhere (xda photo albums... think I saw that in the user CP?), get the address of it, and put that in for the IMG tag, and then you use the URL after the = sign. You should be able to copy/paste that and just change the http parts inside to suit what picture and link you want.

*URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835272"]UGJK4[/URL*
I deleted the beginning and ending bracket and replaced it with the Astrix* symbol so you know what it looks like. The text that you are linking is in red, and should go between the URL code. Hope that makes sense.
Quick way of doing it is, highlight the text you want linked>once it is highlighted click on the insert link button> paste the url > and hit ok. Now the text that you are linking should be in the middle as above. Hope any of this makes sense, can get confusing.
Hope this is what your looking for.
edit: if you don't see those buttons, it's probably because you don't have those privileges

Thanks guys, I'll try this out when I get home and be sure to button thank yall.

Uh, well it's still not letting me. Still comes out as url string, no text link. But now I know how to do it. I'll check with a mod and see if permissions are set to no for me. At the bottom of the page it says they are all good. Thanks again guys.

Working fine here, hope you will be able to fix sound too =)

On my Trophy, I do notice a significant speed improvement when I select the "Faster screen" option. What does this do differently? Is there any downside to using this option?

Very Nice.
But maybe you could add a description how to add Games, as it took me a while to figure out what to do (I guess I'm not the only one)

Error
Hi!
I get this error when trying to add an .xml....
Can't load the game list! The remote server returned an error: NotFound
Could you please do a step by step tutorial on how to do the gamelist... and explain what is the "URI" you need to enter into warios jewels settings?
Thanks for your time!

http://gamelistcreator.codeplex.com/
There is what you have to to to create a GameList.
Afterwards - Upload your "Covers" and "Roms" folders to a webserver, as well as the GameList.xml
Then just enter this URL in the Game Settings. Et volià.

Where is the .xap? I'm getting the .zip, but there is no XAP file inside it.

Well, in that case you have to move the button (or add a description) so that everyone can easily find it

Thanks...tried the Gamelist and added some roms... I have now ready the 3 files you said....
but didnt understand what you really meant when you said of uploading it to a "webserver"....you mean ...megaupload/rapidshare...and that sort of?...
or...is it another thing?
sorry for my poor knowledge on the subject...
new to this world
Thx!

You'll need a real webserver where you can access those files. So Rapidshare, e.g. is not an option.

Just wondering, what does the little Floppy Disc button do on the Individual Game page? It's greyed out for all of my games.

We currently do not but that is a good idea . If we do make one I will be sure to contact you XD

I have an issue with the GameList.xml.
I created it with "GameListCreator", then I redirected "GameList.xml", "Roms" and "Covers" with HFS (HTTP File Server), shut off the Firewall, pointed to the URL of the XML but I obtained the following error :
"Can't load the game List ! The format of the GameList is not valid !
NullReferenceException"
I tried your GameList.xml but I have the same issue.
So I tried to replace "Roms\" by "Roms/" and "Covers\" by "Covers/" in the xml file, unfortunately nothing change
Thanks for your work and help

love the website! amazing silverlight
gonna try the emu soon, much appreciate your work!
keep it up!

Someone needs to post the instructions because i don't know what to do
