o2 plus (beta 01140305) - today screen upgrade

I downloaded the o2 plus (today screen upgrade) from seeo2.com and noted some bugs on it. let me start first with the good things. it's good that they created a shortcut on the screen to change from portrait to landscape and vice versa on the today screen. they also created a profile menu for ringing tone settings but they just only included a call-ringer tone change and left out ability to change sms alert on profiles. Battery monitor was good but still is less detailed than "sprite" coz it does not have a detailed breakdown of the memory status for sd card and storage, for it only shows memory status of the main memory. One good thing though is that it has added a tabular setting for the programs you choose to be available readily.
I was really hoping they have also included the upgrade of it with the phone's ability to receive Vcard, unfortunately, this does not do it.
Am hoping that for any developer out there to try check this out and upgrade it better. Actually the program is already an upgrade from the original today screen but I think it still needs a lot of work.
cheers!

It's highly doubtfully that just anyone with experience can reverse engineer this applicaation without the red tape they have to go through with O2, since O2 does own the copyrights to any application they release.
Anyway, I avoid this application like the plague.

Btw... the latest O2Plus v1.6 which I downloaded through O2 Connect on my IIs caused me a major headache. It makes the Storage dissapear after the first or second soft reset. Once it dissapears, all your programs installed there will fail to work and therefore a hard reset is needed to solve it. I've confirmed this issue with my other forumer friends.

Yep, there's a problem with O2 Plus 1.6. Confirmed it DOES make the IIs storage disappeared. Not only mine, but my buddy's IIs as well. Just avoid this version and hope for a better updated version next time. :wink:

thank you guys for your inputs! and yep, hopefully they could get this upgrade fixed coz it's very ironic for such a software to be called an "upgrade" but it just messes things up! :shock:
cheers!

From what I understand, it's still in beta stage. I am after overall system stability. So no betas on my system, as well as minimal Today Plugins. This configuration seam to be the most stable on my 2s.
I have narrowed my installed stable application to about 67mb. I don't think I'll be installing anything anymore since I've just about capped my program storage space.

Registry and Spb Pocket Plus

Hi Guys,
I've a problem with Spb Pocket Plus and with the default settings of my TyTN II.
I'll try to explain, because my ROM is in italian and I don't know how to translate them in english.
So, these are the facts:
I've installed the Trial version of Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 and I've checked the option to override the default X close button as you can see in pc_capture1.jpg.
Then I deselected it and reenabled from Settings - Buttons the two default items as you can see in pc_capture2.jpg.
But as I can try on my device, after a soft-reset, I can't see in the upper right of the screen the item that can let me choose to see and eventually close the applications running on the device pc_capture3.jpg
Now my question is: what is the registry key that I have to (re)set so I can reenable that functionality overriding that ugly settings from Spb Pocket Plus (that I've deinstalled but without success in resetting the item I need)?
Yes, I know it's difficoult to understand that pictures that are in italian, but if someone can help me, I'll be glad with him/her.
Bye,
ghale.

I know this dosen't really help because you seem to be talking a different avenue than I did... but I had to totally uninstall to get the HTC X back. There is a CAB for the HTC task manager that you might install and see if it over rides the SPB settings...?
Sorry.

If you have both Pocket Plus and the HTC Close Button app running at the same time, your results aren't likely to be good. Either disable the Close Button in Settings, or shut down PP's close button in it's settings, and then soft reset. If that doesn't work, remove Pocket Plus (your settings should be preserved) and reinstall.

Done.
I've the same problem.
Thanks, btw.

Does "Done." mean that you did it and the problem was fixed or that it's still there? Tough to tell from your last post.

Simply means that the problem was NON solved.
So I've reinstalled Spb and I'm trying to use the Spb method to close the application, instead of the HTC one.
I've tried also to install the HTC Task Manager, from 1.51 to 2.00, overwriting the ROM files, too, but without success.
I've tried a lot of time, but no solution.
If someone has other info, please let us know.
Bye,
ghale.

Go to settings - system - task manager - button and make sure both boxes there are unchecked. I run Pocket Plus (3.2 upgraded recently to 4.0) without an issue. If that doesn't resolve the problem, it may be something else you're running.

You might try posting your question(s) on the SPB forums. Mods there are most responsive to issues, especially with newly released versions of their software.

The official AT&T Tilt 6.1 Rom was released

Link is: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=2&dl_id=94
I'm downloading it now... pretty slow download though. I bet I'm not the only one that knows about it

Same EXACT file as posted here over the weekend ftw

Took long enough!! Did you notice that one of the added features was video share calling...

The link takes you to WM6.0

And since Voice Command is in it, no more gray area!!! (Not that I care, I paid for it...)

YEA, I guess this means 3 months of redundant posts regarding winmo 6.1. YEA I can't wait!!!!
as most of you know I am a regional tech for AT&T, and there is no way in hell i would ever install a att rom on my tilt HELL NO!!!!

Never Mind, the second time I opened the link, it took me to the correct wm6.1 ruu.

Still have 30 minutes to go but I'm presuming that if you boot without bloatware that the video calling won't install so someone will have to create a cab... I'm sure xda will do it

Whats Included:
* Windows Mobile 6.1
* HTC Home
* Video Share Calling
* Threaded SMS
* MS Voice Command
* OneNote Mobile
* Remote Desktop Monitor
* Enroll Domain
* Managed Programs
* PTT Button now available
for reassignment under
Start>Settings>Buttons.
I guess that this makes the post about reassigning your PTT button obsolete..

My take on it is that it is the same one that has been floating around for a couple of days.
I just d/l the "official" one and extracted the files and the README.doc still has the paragraph to the "help desk personnel"
ALL the files sizes in the self-extracting zip are the same size also.

anyone else having a problem disabling the bloatware? everytime it soft resets it takes me back to the customization screen... third soft reset so far and I even tried letting customization begin for a second before the soft reset.

To AVOID installing AT&T's bloatware, you must flash your phone obviously, then go through the 1st boot screen where you tap the screen, set your time zone etc, then after you click finish, AS SOON AS windows loads, soft reset BEFORE it says customizing in 3 seconds.

Try this procedure it worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2562767#post2562767
So far all seems well,
My wireless router only does WPA-PSK with TKIP and not AES or WPA2 but that works well.
The one issue I have had at other times on the old ROM was that DHCP would pick up an IP but not DNS so I would have to enter in a known good DNS IP addy. I just use the Cox primary name server in Hampton Roads VA but any will work.
"No matter what the question - the answer is DNS" so you can tell I am a network guy and not a "developer, developer, developer" (Steve Balmer) by that answer eh?
Just a bit off topic but i am so thankful and grateful for the developers and all who post here to help us out!!!!

bloatware is disabled (good call) but Sprite Backup is killing my phone. May have bricked it in fact... PIM backup is a lot better even at the expense of loading a few of my own apps back on to it... I went from a black screen to a zebra pattern after the splash screen. May have to revert to the 8525 for a few days while i try to get AT&T to replace it...

If you get a black screen (or a striped screen) after using Sprite just do nothing for about 5 minutes and it will result in a hard reset (not a brick fortunately).

Glad to hear I am not the only one having trouble with sprite backup. My Tilt is stuck on the SPRITE BACKUP screen, RESTORE PROGRESS, Resetting Device. It has been this way for 15 minutes.
Now what?
This, of course, right after I installed the HTC WM 6.1 download.

It seems Microsoft's "New Home Screen Interface" didn't make it into this version... At least I can't find it anywhere.

Phone Dialler has gone all retro (and rubbish)

Very strange, I'm sure this problem must of been caused by yours truly, however I have now idea how???
My phone dialler has gone all retro'd (see screen dump) and loses some of it's funtionality.
I had installed a batch of 3 items, notification manager, NoniGPSPlotV2.80j.EN & metro, all of which I have since un-installed & performed a soft-reset, but still I have this horrible old-skool dialler, which I am aching to get rid of.
Any pointers on how to restore the default TF3D dialler would be great (is there a .cab?)
Thanks guys, you & this forum really do rock!

worst case senario would I be best to load a complete new rom? I take it it would erase all settings / added progs?

hard reset
hy there! I had a similar problem with the display. Installed a theme, without noticing that it was dor Diamond 1. So what happened is that it got "embedded" in the original theme of the phone. So I tried to uninstall it (unintalled, but being embedded, wome elements remained and the display was all crappy). Then searched for a cab, found it, but same problem . The display was also crappy. What I did in the end was a hard reset. And that solved all the problems ... if you search the forum, there was a post where you will find a link to original theme if you want to try. I'll search anyway and link you if I find it. Cheers!!!

Thanks George,
As I initially thought I thought the problem was caused by myself... & sure enough it was, I use pocket shield (which is great btw)& I was messing around with the config invoking the option slide to answer calls >>> use windows mobile dialler. I thought this would only occur during an incoming call, but no it took over the while dialler, anyway I've unchecked this option in pocket shield & given myself a damn good thrashing!
Thanks to you & all that took the time to read this....
Looking to do my 1st rom flash...god help me!!! ;-)

If you don't like the idea of flashing your rom, a hard reset would almost certainly do the trick as well

try to set "enable phone skin" in advanced config.

HELP... I ****ed up!

I am a normal user with pretty ok hang on general computing, but I got in way above my head. I sincerely hope someone will give aid.
Originally I was just looking for a way to 1) get my "tasks" to show on the HTCs interface start screen together with calender appointments and a way to record my phonecalls.
During my search I found some tweak-pack that did lord knows what. Among other things it added the options to record phonecalls, but only in wav and on main memory though.
Unfortunately it also made manila work in landscape mode, which I dont like. It flips over everytime I tilt my phone the slightest and I see no use for it actually.
I then downloaded some registry editor and tampered with some "enable landscape" setting under local user/software/manila and changed the value to false". After rebooting my phone still tilts and I cant find the command anymore in the registry. What did I do wrong?
I even uninstalled the tweak pack, which just made the record option dissapear again but the landscape rotating persists.
I also realized that adding the command again is easier said than done. Appearntly it takes much more than just writing it as I need to insert strings, dwords and whatsnot, and I have absolutely no clue about what is what.
Now Im even worse out than before. I have no record option any more, and the manila interface is still tilting. I still havent found a tweak or app that can add tasks to the manila homescreen.
Can someone help me disable the landscape rotaing, point me to a crash course for "phone-tampering illeterals" or recommend some way to get the two sought for features? Especially the call-recording preferably to memcard and mp3 is highly needed. First priority is to stop the screen from tilting though.
Oh please.. Help me out /cry..

about the manila rottion u can disable it by using td2 tools 3 in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536410
sadly that is only what i can help

Unfortunately if you tampered with the registry and did not save a backup, you will need to hard reset to get it back.
As Mohamed stated, TD2Tools will fix your rotation issue.
As far as incall recorder, here's the cab but you'll have to search on how to configure it.
I have not used it, so I cannot verify its functionality.
**Also, please edit your title to remove profanity, as it can only be implied here.... **

Hi,
I can verify- it works.
I use it and Resco Audio Recorder (paid) to record it in format i want (MP3 too) and there i want (phone or memory card)

1. Hard Reset
2. Install a ROM which has option to record a call

Thanks for the help guys. I never tried installing roms. Is there a list somewhere and some instructions on how to do it? Is it reversable without loosing everything on your phone?
With the tools recommended earlier will fix the rotation, the worst problem is averted. I still hope for some way to get a todo-list on my main screen without the cost of uninstalling Manila. But maybe thats not possible?

Read the wiki for flashing for newbies.
It is not reversable and you will loose all your data as well as your warranty if you screw it up.
Not many have been able to flash HardSPL lately which is the precursor to flashing a ROM so good luck with that, you'll probably end up having to pay for it, but it is well worth it.
All questions about flashing should be direct to that thread for maximum exposure and make sure to search and read first before you ask.
There are options on your current ROM to install a Second Today program and toggle between Manila and 2nd Today where you can add your todo list.

Note: not every registry hack is restorable by a hard reset.
