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.

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?

Anything new here??
This seems like an older version of the program. Need one of the guys with a Pre Prod model to dump the program out. Much more options in this than with GPS Test, but it doesnt fit or format to the s730 well at all. Does offer more overall options which I like though.

::reaches for sync cable::: Thanks

Messed around with these 2 programs last night, didnt make a diff in anyway. One thing i did see was that if you go into HTCGPStool.exe / Function / Cold start etc it says " please open com port first "
Any ideas ?
If you start something like 'GPS Test' the com port is activated. But it makes no difference.
Open COM using "Start NMEA Messages".
yeap
did that, it beeps and still does nothing, lol. Guess it wasnt that easy then...
Time will tell...
Strange CAB file :: Configure_GPS.cab
I found this strange CAB file in the pre-production ROM from Rafuz. It installs correctly, and after the installation I'm able to Open COM using "Start NMEA Messages". I see the messages in the textbox, but I still can't find satelites...
I used all the GPS files (GPSID.dll, GPSAux.dll, etc) from Rafuz, and even his HTCServices.dll
It seems this CAB installs a working driver for the GPS chip (GPSID_QCT.dll)

Well done
Which tool do you use to test this?
Quick GPS send 'connection failed' message when I tried to refresh data. It is done through AS and 3G as well. Any correct solution?

So, I don't have this problem but I know how to fix it because I've read all the pinned topics. Just for kicks I ran a search of "QuickGPS failed" and what do you know, I found the answer. Just a tip.

Looks like you need another tip, start with the thread that says "quickgps on the kaiser *FIX*"
While you're at it, watch this video
http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/posting
Use Kaiser Tweak to fix the Quick GPS problem
1.Download the Kaiser Tweak
2. Look for Tools (in the Kaiser Tweak), select the 'Default QuickGPS Setting', select 'OEM Settings (Def/Adv)'.
I hope it will work for those who is having such problem
All the best

Hello,
Before my Diamond I had a Motorola v3 Razr. The Razr did give a sms notification every minute or so. When I received a sms, it gives notifications until i read the SMS. The Diamond only flashes the led light. Is it possible to let the Diamond vibrate every 3 minutes or so when there is an unread SMS?
Thnx in advance
Anybody an idear?

A bit rude and not even an answer for his question......
He is looking for REPEATED notifications......something SPBPhoneSuite can do for example. There may be other programs out there for the same purpose, don´t know of any freeware, though....

1. sorry you think so. don't get it ...what's rude? my 2 last recommendations?
2. the notification stays on the screen until you dismiss it, so why repeat? as a matter of fact i am not so sure it is not repeating...
i do know for sure that reminders do repeat so i can guess that all notifications are repeating.
i think he is looking for repeated sound notifications.
I'm very sorry when i offended some of you with my question, but the last post sums it all up. I'm looking for a repeating sound/vibration notification. I will try SPBPhoneSuite, but i'm not font on installing an whole " heavy" program for such small things. So when there is an alternative...please let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=368137Kukuriku - arrogance and rudeness are sometimes difficult to distinguish, but both are bad.
I did a freeware solution - DmsisAlert
Hi, i did a simple application that works on Windows Mobile 5 or superior (.Net CF 3.5 is a requirement).
To download go to DmsisAlert page and click on DmsisAlert link, unzip, tranfer the .cab file and install. If you like (or not), i will appreciate some feedback (you can do that on download page).
With Diamond is a good idea not to use the minimize functionality because after that there is no way to get interface back (allthough it still running on the background). I will work on a solution for that (i'm busy enjoying my new phone ).
hope that can help, helps me a lot

Thanks for trying... the program requirements are: Windows Mobile 5 or superior and .Net CF 3.5. I tested on WM5 and WM6.1 (Kaiser and Diamond) and run ok for me. Maybe you device are missing some requirement?!

Dude, try Best Reminder:
http://best-reminder.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
It ain't freeware, but its light and does the job perfectly every time.
I did use SPB phonesuite before, and I found it heavy with other features I don't need. Also, the damn thing didn't work at times!
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405071&highlight=sms+reminder+vibrate
and free, always check the 'Development and Hacking' forum
@dmoreira: What requirement can that be? I have an stock diamond, with latest romupdate en .Net CF 3.5?
@MasK: That's i very nice program. I tested it, and it does the job except for the vibrating!
@badaas: That's another very nice program. I also tested this one and it works perfect. Except that it turns on the screen with every reminder... And you have to reboot the device to configurate it again...

Ok it works just fine! Very nice program! But if i can say 3 things about it:
- The minimize function still doesn't work to well
- You cannot delete the program via the "delete programs" way
- I really like the phone to not only notify me via sound, but also via vibration? Is this possible?
thnx!

before anything thanks for trying my work... about your comments:
"- The minimize function still doesn't work to well" : You're correct, but in others devices without TouchFlo3D the minimize works a lot better. With TouchFlo3D this feature practically doen'st work (i believe that's the same for other applications that have a minimize function that puts an Icon in the Today Screen).
"- You cannot delete the program via the "delete programs" way": A fix for that will be available very soon
"- I really like the phone to not only notify me via sound, but also via vibration? Is this possible?": It's possible but i dont like the result of doing this with the easiest way, so this feature will be available not so soon (but i will adivise here when so).
I will make some changes and post here a new version with some improvements.
Thanks again for trying.

I like testing this program, because it meets almost my exact criteria for such a program! Nice work!
- That minimize function is a pity, but understandable with the TF3D thing!
- Ok if you can fix that 'delete programs' issue, that would be very nice. I don't have a clue how i can properly delete it now!
- I will wait on a fix for the vibrating! That would be very nice!
Keep up the good work!
Thnx!

Hi Rik_X, after a lot of work (i posted the issue in different forums, but got no answer) trying finding a correct solution to uninstall and i ended downloading SkTools (i downloaded from here http://www.clickapps.com/download.htm?pvid=1324) and use a feature called Installed Programs and then Dmsis Alert was listed and i was able to uninstall it!! After that i install the version attached here and then the Dmsis Alert will appear again in the Windows Mobile Remove Program list. Sorry about the troubles that error could cause you.
Anyway i'm posting the last version the doesn't have this uninstall issue. I'm also working on the vibrate feature (still looking a direct interop way to do that).
i searched and searched and searched here, ppcgeeks, and all over the phone but cant find how to check the version of manila. i see some tweaks and mods only work on certain versions, such as mun_rus's extensions. so how can i verify which i currently have? thanks in advance.
At Settings tab, scroll to the bottom. There is some version information.
(not sure if it's what you want, though)
there is nothing in the settings area that i can find thats shows the manila version. please be specific
When at Settings tab, put your finger at center of screen, then move it up.
edit: included a shot to show what I mean.
holy hell! never knew that was hidden there. thank!
For me ther's nothing there!, on clicking it open one ureadeable page (even in bigger font available) in opera......
So you mean I have 1.3.3739....... version of manila ? Evreywhere is about 2. something manila version and I have an 1.3 ?

cko2 has the correct answer. Check the registry. If you are a noob like me and immediately asked "how do I do that", here's a tool I found that does the trick:
CeRegEditor
You run it from your PC while your phone is connected, and you can view and edit the registry from a Windows GUI. Btw "HKLM" is short for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Btw, my settings tab also says "About (Copyright Information)" but no version number, and it turned out to be v2.1.19xxx after I checked the registry, so that's a good guess if your says the same.
PHM Registry Editor
Or use PHM Registry Editor. Install it onto your device, and you can view/modify whatever registry key you like. At your own risk of course.
But, as stated above, /HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Manila/Version
