no msn/live messenger on tmobile Vario III? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

has anyone else got a vario III and noticed that there is no msn/live messenger installed? is there a legit way of getting this on there?
also, when viewing text messages, can i replace the function of the left soft key - its currently set to delete, but on the previous vario II it was new - so i find myself constantly trying to delete messages when trying to write a new one. and its also a friggin pain in the ass to go through the menu selection to start a new text....
any help is much appreciated guys..

A couple of minutes with the forum search function will answer all your questions.

i did try and search it but can't find the answers to these few things... have found other stuff though that has been useful..
edit: i've found a cab for WLM, but still cant resolve the soft key issue in messaging... so if anyone knows... !

Im also looking for this anyone?

Theres been a windows live cab uploaded on coolsmartphone.com
Heres the link for the thread: http://www.coolsmartphone.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11696
And heres the link for the direct download (off megaupload.com)
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WSEQT0ZN
Word of warning, when I installed this app on my phone, it worked fine. However, downloading this app will install both, what seems to be an outdated version of windows live, and also windows messenger onto your phone (well with me it did anyway). But when I decided I didn't want it anymore on my MDA Vario III and tried to uninstall it, the app still remained on my programmes list, but faded out- kind of like if you were to click on a document on your computer, and click on 'cut'.
This problem meant I had to hard reset my device to get rid of any trace of windows live messenger.

Don't like OZ, it uses the sms instead of data. I use IM+. Just ranting. lolz.
Original Instant Messaging Program
Hey, I need the original Instant messaging program that came with my tilt. (the one with aim, live, and yahoo). Where can i get that? I looked through the threads and couldn't find it. Thanks.
You're looking for Oz messenger and it's in the downloads link in my signature. Though I'd recommend you checkout Jivetalk, as i've found it to be a vastly superior messaging program and it is free right now because it's in alpha testing.

Ever herd of a thing called a wiki it contains a link that you can d/l all att .cab's. But I guess its just easier to be lazy and post a new thread on your first post.
dont you spend as much time or more reposting how evil they are for not searching?
Yeah but if it teaches them to search then its worth it. The amount of threads that are completley redundant beacuse of this type of thing

Another Instant Messaging Thread
Ok I've been digging around the forums for about 2 hours now and I still haven't been able to find it, so I figured I would just break down and ask you guys. This may sound strange, but I liked the Instant Messaging client that comes pre-packaged with the Tilt, but after I flashed the ROM to Hyperdragon III to my surprise (Don't ask me why I didn't think of this ahead of time, I do not know) it was no longer there (for obvious reasons).
Does anyone know where I can find this IM client? Ive been digging around this forum and the at&t forums for a while now, and I'm about ready to give up.
I know all the alternatives, I just liked what came stock with the unit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
i was looking for this myself as I use msn and yahoo messengers but had no luck finding the extracted app. I have settled for the live messenger right now which is on the cabs list under hyperdragons post but will monitor this to see if anyone posts the cab file

IT's called OZ IM, it's available to download in my cabs folder, and if you search you should be able to find it pretty easily.
Will merge this with the other IM threads.
Sorry to burst your bubble
Sorry, to burst your bubble.
Bursting your bubble.
I'm sorry for it.
Anyways, OZ instant messenger doesn't run of sms exclusively. I've been using it frequently via medianet on my tilt and I haven't had a single text message charged to my account. So go ahead and download oz messenger and use it via medianet. As for jivetalk... i don't know, but i'll check it out.
The cab files worked great. Thank You. I've also been looking for the IM program for the Tilt. Mine had disappeared after I hard reset the phone and dind't allow AT&T's bloatware to install.
Thanks again
The files worked great!! I have been looking for the IM program for my Tilt for a while as well. Mine disappeared after I did a hard reset and didn't allow AT&T's bloatware to install

Ive searched but with no luck

ive upgrade my Orange SPV m3100 today to a TyTn II, and first signs are impressive, however a few little things annoying me, and ive tried searching for help but cant seem to find it.
1, SMS/MMS
this is a massive pain in the ass to me, before on the SPV, it was split and made life easier. but now its merged and is driving me insane for some unknown reason (possibly OCD lol)
2. SMS main screen
On the left soft key it now says "Delete". again on the SPV it was new, made life easier and faster rather than trawling menu for new messages
3. The main today screen. The quality HTC black screen with big clock isnt an option on Orange so it would appear. if so can anyone tell me how? its looks great on the HTC Touch yet on here i have either the crappy Orange side bar or standard Windows bars
4. Touch FLO. wat programs does this work on, cus mine seems obsolete on everything
sorry to be a mega noob, but wud appreciate some input on making this PDA truely awesome

There is no way that you searched and didn't find the answers.
need to find better searching tricks, 1 advice would be to use google or just using a few key words in the forum's search tool
well i did search but "new sms" "delete" "mms" comes up with 32 pages. most of them reading thru, talk about new CABs, and for me thats a last resort, i no u think im being lazy, but after reading 100+ threads with no luck id thought id ask
I got the orange tytn ii before Christmas, and hated the Orangeness of the phone. Found the HTC plugin here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html
Install on phone, soft reset and then go to "settings", "today" and move to the items tab. Tick the HTC home (not the HTChomeplug) option.
For the black "theme" which is just the black background with a small htc logo in the bottom right and the black bars top and bottom:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/s.php?querywords=htc+black+theme
Again install on phone, soft reset go back to "today" and on the first tab select HTC_new_default
You will still have an orange battery charge icon on the top bar though. I've been happy to live with that!
much appreciated mate. ill have a crack at that when I finish work later.
managed to sort touch flo out aswell
ill carry on searching thru the sms threads, but in the mean time, if any one can point me in the right direction id be very greatful
cheers again

You can find different versions of Arcsoft with the SMS/MMS split. However, it can cause problems when you install it overtop of the merged version. Your best bet is to read up on ROM Upgrading in the Kaiser Wiki, actually the whole Wiki, and then look for a cooked ROM that has the split version of Arcsoft loaded by default.

He is correct. Messing with the Messaging system can bring on Gremlins. Best leave it be or get a ROM that has that from scratch. I've come to be ok with the combined SMS/MMS. At first I didn't like it but I'm fine with it. What I really disliked what the threaded SMS on 6.1.
Think you're stuck with the combined mms/sms. You could always make another folder and manually copy your received mms's over to that. Can't say it bothers me too much. Cure your OCD by convincing yourself that an mms is just an sms with an attachment!
Regarding the previous post. Once you have downloaded the cabs copy them into a folder on your phone (eg. my downloads) and install them, then soft reset.
Once you have it up and running you can go back to "today" (settings) and choose from the items tab what other notifications you want to display below the "big clock"!!
Top tip if you're with Orange. I managed to blag the Orange Business data tariff of 250mb per month for £8 per month including VAT. This rolls over as well!! Phone up customer services and ask (nicely) if they'll bolt it on for you. If not ask for the data tariff department and sweet-talk them.
nice one guys, many thanks, ill let u no how it goes in a bit
hey, spot on so far mate, any other tips? or things that are good to install, got msn so happy with that too
by the way ive got a great blag for the business net user, just wondering wat questions they asked?
no luck blagging , just out of curiosity, is anyone else having problems with IE lagging loads whilst u scroll down even tho the page has loaded?

No Windows Live

Hi,
today I got my MDA compact Iv from T-Mobile, which is basically the HTC Touch Diamond.
I was so excited about this new phone and it's new features.
But I missed the Windows Live Messenger, which I need.
So far I used the MDA compact I, which got the old MSN Messenger.
I guess T-Mobile deleted it. Even with Hard reset and reset befor T-Mobile installs it's fancy software there were no Messenger.
Can you help me install it?
Thank you for your help
Idea
Any idea???
A site where to download or the files which I need???
try to setup in email settings a windows_live account first...
it will have been taken out of the ROM.
you can either install a cook rom with it in, or try and find a live messenger cab... i'm sure there is one..

scroll down about 3 roms (its one of the lite ones and there is a link for extra applications)

Hey mattie01,
this is the first messenger running on my device. Alle the cabs from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621 didn't work.
The messenger starts not, but I can't log in.
I still can't creat a live mail account. When I click sign in messenger says, that there is a connectivity problem, even if a connection is open.
I hate T-Mobile for deleting it!

Applying Black Manilla works just fine. However start menu is still T Mobile white. Even beaming across the original HTC Black theme and choosing that makes no difference.
However Im looking for Windows Messenger (the latest CAB on this forum didnt work) and You Tube App.
hmm i thought the start menu was just part of the theme file...
skin
I want to thank the poster of the manila theme!
I was Looking for this theme, cause the T-mobile theme with the pink logo's was so girlish
Also for other installers, during the install every thing went fine till it restarted. I looked like the phone started correctly, i heard bleeping and it shaked, but the screen was gray with borders.
After that I thought I messed something up, and tried a soft reset, after that it worked like a charm!
ok after lots of atempts i think i have got my compact to a state where you could call it de-branded??
i have got the black manilla theme from the diamond which is allot better than the pink and white! i have got windows live with messenger installed and working nicely, and i have finally managed to get the youtube app on it aswell, so apart from that is there anything else which needs to be changed software wise??
anyone else had any success with this? i know i could just flash another rom but i really want to stay under warranty
Cheers guys
Care to Share...
How You did it... step by step.
Speaking of warranty, I’m in the same boat. I got no issues of changing the ROM as long as I can get back if I need to.
We really need a copy of the T-Mobile Stock ROM!
i would also be very interested in knowing which version of messenger you got to work and where you located it
I know i can flash a different rom but don't really want to until a copy of the original t-mobile rom is available, just in case i need to revert back for warranty purposes.
how i installed Windows Live Mobile...
Okay guys bare with me and let me know if you have any success with this.....
firstly for Windows Live Mobile, i have tried loads of different cabs to get this working, but this has seemed to work for me,
1) install "Windows Live install 1st.cab" then soft reset, once you reset you will have windows live installed but there will be no messenger this should be fine if you just want hotmail.
*****make sure you dont uninstall the 1st cab! they both need to be on at the same time to work!*****
2) install "Windows Live install 2nd.cab" and again soft reset, once you reset you will have all of windows live including messenger just as it is on the stock diamond rom same version im pretty sure!
Windows live is now good to go! over wifi it will sync flawlessly, over gprs/3g it will be hit and miss, as it has been on every other device with wm6, Windows live mobile and T-mobile, i always get my emails however it will sometimes show a sync error aswell. (let me know how you get on here because i have had this connection issue with my last couple of phones!)
i take no credit for any of these files, they are already on this forum and i thank the guys who uploaded them first time around!
Original TouchFLO....
To get the original colours back into touchFLO i used the theme which was posted earlier in this thread on the first page, this does take up about 9mb of space though! however looks far better than the pink and white!
to change the start menu picture go to Start>Settings>System>TouchFlo and de-select 'Enable Large Start menu' this will then give you what ever themes your using start menu, however it wont be as large!

How did you get the you tube app to work?
There is a youtube VGA cab on this forum, which installs - however whenever you attempt to play a video there is an error message
Finally Youtube!
this was the most annoying one!
okay to install this...
1) Install "AdobeFlashLite.cab" this may or may not be required? however i installed it and everything works fine! maybe someone could try with out this and see if it still works.
2) install "HTC YouTube install 1st.cab" this will install the youtube app however it is a qvga version and looks rough on the awesome vga screen and everything is all over the place, however still works fine.
3) unzip the contents of "HTCYouTubeVGA install 2nd.zip" to your \Windows\ directory ensuring the files do go into the windows directory and not into another folder inside the windows directory i.e \Windows\HTCYou... you will be promted if you want to overwrite some files, you have to overwrite all of the existing 200 or so files!
4) do a soft reset for luck and you will now have the full youtube app aswell! exactly the same as on the diamond, i cant remember if i had to create the shortcut to the youtube app myself or if the cab did it, if you have to do it yourself the application is called youtube.exe and is in the \Windows\ folder!
Again all of these files have already been uploaded by others elsewhere in the forum! i have just got them all together, so a big thankyou to all of those members!
let me know your results
Cheers
I also did change the "on-pink" in the connection manager, this was on a dutch t-mobile device but it will probally also work on uk-versions. Just put these 2 files in the windows map with total commander or some other file manager.
Another thing I did was a hard reset and just before the branding kicks in a soft reset. You'll get a pretty clean phone, only some programs aren't installed like tf3d. For tf3d I downloaded the black manila from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408843&highlight=boinger66+black. Opera is also not installed so I will also try to install this from the same thread and give it a go.
Also you can remove the t-mobile connection button on the tf3d interface by using removing globe.cab from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406681
Cheers to craigwn for the windows live messenger and youtube posts - all cabs installed straight away and with a soft reboot between each one, now both apps work great!
One small thing - I installed the youtube, wlm and then the manila theme and have just realised all my contacts have disappeared. Not sure which one of these have done it (or a combination) as I didn't check in between, but will just get them back via activesync so no problem.

i think this may have something to do with wlm, if you choose to sync contacts, it messes with the phones contacts aswell! just uncheck the option to sync contacts in the future.
