Hi, i have the Siemens SX66 with helmis new rom -AKU3.2. I just got the pc phone about a 3 weeks ago with the new rom already installed. I can acess internet and it works great with a few probs. But what i have a question is about the interenet. Explorer works great but when i log in youtube.com and try to play one of their videos, it wont allow me to. It says : Get the latest flash player. i believe i downloaded macromedia flash7 but it still doesnt work. can anyone help me with this? How can i play videos?
Also, i have just a general question on what rom: Aku 3.2 or Aku2.3 does everyone prefer. Is one more consistent than the other. i have only tried aku3.2 and it is very fast but i have to soft reset every now and then. Im wondering if anyone could give me thier opinion.
thankyou so much-Adrian
Also-- i have a prob with the time, it resets everytime i take out the battery. can that resolves...

While flash7 is the latest available for the phone, they are way beyond that in the desktop world. I think YouTube (etc) need Flash8. Email Adobe and tell them to get it released asap!

Hi shazzy,
Same problem here, would be great if somebody have a solution for this.
It must be AKU3.5 related, with AKU3.2 I don't have that problem.

I tried to get trail version but no sucess.
Even to buy it is not mention any whare.
I contacted them, waiting 4 reply.!!
PM me if u want the Working version of this Browser..i also have Deepfish (from Microsoft)...
Do picsel browser and/or deepfish work on al websites or should the website builder install server side software or thumbnails created in advance for it to work?
Be carefull may be there is incompatibility with WM6. I found my device became messy My touchscreen like a mirror. My "start" picture is still in the up left corner but when I want to open it, I have to touch at the up right corner. And It is also happened with the other position
I have to do hard reset to overcome this problem
I use wm6 and have used picsel before, but when I install the same cab now, I get an "initialization failure". Maybe its becvause I've done a hard reset a while ago.. does anyone know the solution, cause its a great browser!!

Hello!
What language is your device?
I had the same problem with a german device. The reason were some entries in th registry that where linked to some where in "program files" instead of "programme" as the folder is called in a german device. Corrected it manualy and everything is fine now.

today i read a news about a new upcoming browser named skyfire.
and what i am asking me: when the open beta comes to my country and i install it on my diamond... can i change the default browser für touchflo3d?
here is a version i tried using. only half the screen is skyfire and the other half is today screen. check it out. maybe it works for you.
Skyfire is a pretty good web browser for mobile phones. It was apparently found to be the fastest - mostly because it renders the pages from a central server.
I believe you have to register with them to fully use the software (you need a Skyfire account).
Also, there is a new release, but it still does not support VGA devices yet.

yes but can i change the default browser in touch flo 3d?
maybe in some time no one wants to use opera and all want to use skyfire.
seemts that its just a simple shortcut to change.
Skyfire is not compatible to VGA right now.
I tried out Skyfire on my diamond and there is a workaround the half screen problem. Other than the fact that flash works, i don't think it is better than Opera 9.5 at least not until a VGA version comes out.
I uninstalled Skyfire and now I have the problem where PIE is now my default browser instead of Opera. Whenever I tap on a link on my rss reader or email, it goes to PIE by default. Is there a way to change my default browser back to opera?
Just Re-run the WM_6_HTC_PPC_Opera9.cab in your windows directory, and it will re-install Opera and fix the link issues. Your bookmarks, history and other browsing data will not be harmed.
Skyfire 0.85 is out, with VGA support. Just tried it and it works like a dream on my Diamond, even able to watch top gear on iPlayer with it.
Hi,
Installed on my MDA Compact and it works well. However, it won't connect using wifi.
Any solutions?
Regards

I just downloaded it too and mananged to get a video playing from the iPlayer but I don't get any sound. Did you have any issues with sound at all?
(I'm on Dutty's V3.2 ROM)
To answer another question the latest version works on VGA but allegedly not on WVGA so Touch HD users may be disappointed. You can download it here http://get.skyfire.com/ and yes, Skyfire asks you if you want to make it the default browser.

Maybe... but uninstalling it even when it's not default resets your default browser to PIE. Which sucks.
i cannot download it,has anybody have vga cab?
Just open http://get.skyfire.com/ in your mobile browser, you'll get to download the cab directly from the phone!
i have opened it 100 times but i cant download,it always get me back to getskyfire.com.
i am not in usa,i am in europe,can somebody please post/upload cab???
Yes, here u go....

This is because unlike PIE/Opera Mobile, skyfire downloads the webpage on a regular pc, then sends you "an image" of the website, in a low quality.
So it's not actually that fast, zooming and panning are weak on it.

or can i get flash in opera?
You can get flash in opera mobile
Check the developments and hacking forum on XDA, it's near the top.
Look for Adobe Flash Lite 3.1 and a compatible Opera build =]
I sent the request from skyfire website to change device and do an ota reload of the software. When i load it up on the stock rom it is only showing on the left half the screen with the touchflo hompage on the right side.. Is anyone else having this issue, or is there a setting to get this to work on the phone? Thanks for the help!

I'm having the same issue. I don't think this version of Skyfire is compatible with VGA screens.
Glad to know i am not the only one with the issue. I went as far as a hard reset to see if there was an issue on the initial configuration.
I am pretty sure skyfire does not yet support the vga screen.

It's not. They have said that they plan to release a VGA version but I don't think they've announced a timetable yet.
you need to open skyfire with you hardware keyboard open to get it to work. Thats the only way to get skyfire on the touch pro as of now.
please keep the post updated if anyone gets Skyfile to work
I am also having this issue.. I was about to go search the Diamond forums and the Skyfire forums... I could have sworn people said they had Skyfire working on the Touch Pro (Non-FUZE) like Black?
Edit: Nevermind, just have to run Skyfire with the keyboard out.
Good job guys, the workaround is to start it up w/ the keyboard out. Thx
I was able to download and install v7081 just a little bit ago. Seems to work perfectly fine for me up until the point you click out of it and run it in the background and try to go back to it then the screen goes half Skyfire, half Today screen.
No go for me. If I start it with the keyboard extended, still just uses half the screen. Any ideas?
FIXED! I was having password problems. Once I got it fixed, I logged in, and then restarted skyfire, then it worked! Still QVGA resolution, but at least it can play flash, etc.!
Right on!
Is there a 100% working YouTube app for the Touch Pro with custom roms?
I've seached all over for a solution to get YouTube on my Touch Pro, and I've run across various solutions but none that work like the phone did out of the box. Some cabs have a QVGA app + VGA skin and some just don't play the sound. I've tried like 5-6 possibilities, and again, none of them work.
Does anybody have one that they installed and verified working?
Thanks!
Edit-
Solution: install HTC TouchFlo (non-3D) and YouTube will work. Credit to DA_G http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=47737
did you try the generic wm6 touchscreen cab from skyfire.com?

Skyfire works, although it's the video displays is far from smooth.
I was actually referring to the YouTube application in START->Programs. I find it a lot more functional as an application as opposed to having it embedded in a browser window.
Check your custom rom again - it probably has it installed. I know ROMeOS does for instance.

Yes but I really want the HTC application. The main reason is that I think that if this is resolved, I can also fix the same error that popups up when trying to open HTC Audio Manager.
Just reflashed a stock rom and it works. Flashed a 20931 base with ONLY YouTube selected and I get the error :/

What error? I know the Youtube app does come with various custom roms (and does work), so if the problem is when you try to cook your own, there's something you're doing wrong when adding it. Try asking in the ROM forum then, since the app itself is fine.

Error: "The file 'YouTube' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found."
Roms out there do have it, you're right, but it looks like the OEM in the latest kitchen is corrupted (the DSM file is substantially smaller from other Youtube_VGA OEM's I've seen). None of the builds work so it has to be the OEM, some dependency, or a setting/certificate of some sort.
We've made minimal headway on PPCGeeks: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49296
HTC Youtube is dependant on HTC TouchFlo. It will spit back this error if you don't have it installed.. I have cab's for both on my ROM thread, and yes, they work
I even posted it up on ppcgeeks a while ago.. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=47737
I was getting that error, once I tried running opera mobile, left it running in the background, and started the youtube app. it works fine, even after i've closed both programs and rerun youtube by itself. after a reset or long time ( like days) of no use I sometimes have to do this again. If you're cooking your own roms however I'm clueless. This is just a workaround, and slightly annoying, but doable for me.
oh ya, I almost forgot. The player in kinoma play works flawlessly for me. Might want to try it

Wow.. that worked. I searched the crap out of these here internets and I clearly didn't read your thread. Thanks for the heads up.
the one from ppcgeeks works, it is the original one that comes with the sprint version of the htc touch pro (or diamond, i forget) but it works flawlessly and has high quality for if you have fast enough connection
The YouTube application is dependent on TouchFlo and HTC Streaming Media to work.
Here is a .cab for the youtube app in VGA as well as a .cab for HTC streaming media. If you install both it will work (at least it does for me) and my Raphael did not have either preinstalled in ROM.
Hope that helps.

I got an HTC DIamond with clean wm 6.5, and I cannot get it to work with those two files you posted. It starts the app, shows menues, though after connection doesn't play anything. Any advise?
just grab one of Da_G's winmo 6.5 kitchen's, I've had no problem playing full screen youtube movies with the new internet explorer in winmo 6.5

I had the EXACT same problem a while ago. The problem was that the only way I could use HTC Youtube was to get a rom with it cooked in, which was problematic because it was limiting. I searched and search, finally forced to make a topic, and still couldn't find an answer. Eventually, diligence paid off.
I know you found the solution already, but here's one which doesn't require you to change the TouchFlo.
Do this:
1) Download HTC Youtube app of your choice - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472940
2) Install Ravest Youtube Fix - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZGQJ3H0R
Using these two, I was able to get HTC Youtube to work in every single rom I tried so far.
Hopes this helps.

Tried this and it does not work for me. Needless to say I have been all over looking for a fix to this
this one works great for me on custom roms. its not the newest version in the world, but it works like a charm

Hmm, to be honest, at this point, it has been a while since I had to use my own solution. See, I've switched to WM6.5, and my solution only worked (for the most part) with WM6.1.
I'm curious that you're looking for a solution, though. Doesn't pretty much all custom ROMs come with it cooked in nowadays?
