I have searched w/o results.
When deleting a file on my storage sd card, I simply hold the styles down on it and select "delete". Is it that simple or is there another place it is stored that I need to go remove? The reason I ask is that being a new tilt owner, I am trying out different program/files to see which ones I want to keep. So I am adding and deleting files. I do understand that if it is a file that I am wanting to delete, I need to go to add & remove programs etc. Just looking for a way to COMPLETLY remove a file or program from my tilt once I decide to remove it w/o doing a hard reset.
Also seems like most of the time I check task manager on the top right corner, I noticed that the act syn is running, how do I keep this from running in the background. I keep stopping it but it seems to running when I check it later. I do have kaisertweak installed.
thanks

deleting e file and removing a program are two different things. wich one u are asking about?
deleting a file!
Just want to make sure of how to completely delete a file?
Windows Mobile is not like the desktop versions of Windows when it comes to deleting. The file is not sent to any sort of recycle bin. Once you delete it in the way you described, it is gone.
Thank you for your response
Scott
Resco explorer adds a "recycle bin" feature when u remove items using the program if you want one
Essential processes for AT&T Tilt Users after each rom flash
I know this has been mentioned thousands of times throughout this forum yet n00bs often need assistance fixing their hardware keyboards, email, HTC weather, quick gps, and so on after they flash a new rom for the first time.
While hanging out in Bansville for a couple of days I realized I have been answering the same questions continuously. This is a mini text tutorial, which offers simple fixes for imperative AT&T settings.
So you installed a version of hardspl, flashed a new rom, and performed a hard reset. What next? Well primarily in all probability, you want to make sure the clock settings are in am and pm format and the date is set to m/d/y. To change your clock settings follow this navigation
Start>settings>system>regional settings>time tab>time style drop down set to h:mm:ss tt
To change your date setting:
Start>settings>system>regional setting>date tab> select the date style of your choosing and select ok.
Next, I like to restore my files such as my appointments, contacts, text messages, etc. I personally prefer to use PimBackup. Below is a .zip file for PPCPimBackup. It is an uncomplicated program to use and a lecture is unnecessary to navigate throughout this application, as it is straightforward.
After I restore my files, it is time to inaugurate the Tilt keyboard fix, which repairs your slide-out QWERTY keys to be mapped correctly. For example, without this fix Fn+W will appear as ! opposed to @. Below is the cab file you need to install to remap the keys appropriately. Following the installation of this cab file, perform a soft reset.
The next thing I usually do is correct my connection settings. First, I install ATT_Settings.cab, which you can find below. Then I navigate to the following:
Start>settings>connections>connections>select the advanced tab>select networks>Change both drop downs to Media Net> select edit on both drop downs>proxy settings tab>uncheck everything for both media nets that you changed>then hit ok or x when you are finished.
At this time, I set up my email. However, remember NOT to save your password, you will do this in the following step. If you are using HTC HOME, most likely you are, select the little envelope and create a new account. You can find your email settings by using google if you are using pop3 or whatever.
Next, after I set up my email without saving the password, I install removehiddenproxy.cab, which you can find below. This cab file is important as it allows your pop3 email account’s password to save without adding extra characters, allows for your quickgps to function properly each time, and it also allows you to use HTC Home Weather without getting a connection failure. So install this cab then go back to the email you just set up, edit the account setup, enter your password, and save it. Now, go back to your today screen and tap your weather tab. Now tap Select City and select your city (*Note there are a few patches available to select your town if you do not live in a big city). Anyhow, notice the menu button where your right softkey is, select menu and turn your temperature scale to Fahrenheit and select done.
I suggest setting up your WiFi at this time too.
Well this is my mini tutorial for a basic setup on your AT&T Tilt after you flash a new rom.
Have Fun Flashing and Take Care.
*Special thanks to the creators of these cab files and JimmyMcgee for teaching me the basics.
Am I missing something too?
Is there something to do regarding getting a reasonable GPS fix after flashing newer 6.1 roms or is it a known problem. I keep flashing down to older 6.0 roms with 1.27.14.09 radio because of the faster GPS fix. I would love to use the newer roms but GPS fix time is a deal breaker for me. To save you some time I use SPL 3.28 with 6.0 roms and 3.56 with 6.1 roms. I bounce between Q-mobile and RomEos roms now that we lost dutty. Ive tried all the newer radios and personally they all stink for GPS. Sorry about your brief ban and welcome back, I need your wisdom
*cough* sticky
AWESOME. I keep saying I need to: Start fresh, get NetCF 3.5, get a light rom. But it all seems so complicated to go from current configuration to start over completely, but this will help a lot! Thanks! Now to find the time and the 'right' ROM.
Thanks very much for the reminders, and for the CABs. I flashed my first 6.1 ROM last night, and forgot all about the hidden proxy!
I agree that this really needs to be a sticky...
This is a good tutorial, but here is a good side note to add.
By removing the hidden proxy (which ya do with the removehiddenproxy cab), Tilt users won't be able to get to media net (http://device.home or http://home) or cingular video as the hidden proxy is needed for those.
Then they should just use the Restore Proxy, and that will allow MEdiaNet.
Proxy Manager has both in it.

Did you try 1.71.09.01 ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410953
Been having the same issue and finally I think got a break. Tried about 10 SR's and the lock times are steady inside the house.
BTW using DK2
does windows mobile have a localhost file like windows? would remapping those to their needed servers allow the bypassing of the proxy?

Nice tutorial
I downloaded your PPCPimBackup zip file but when I attempted to open it I received the following prompt: "The central directory was not located . . ." etc.
Thanks for the post BTW. Very helpful and informative.

you were unable to open the zip file? I'll check it out and reupload it if necessary.
edit: works ok here my friend. Unzip the file to your desktop and move it to your storage card then run the program hopefully it works for you.

I deserved the brief ban.
Anyhow, I noticed that when running 6.1 roms with the Tilt you need an application such as HTC GPS Tool or GPS Test, to open your internal gps, prior to opening your GPS Software.
These are the steps I use to utilize a GPS Fix after each soft reset:
1) download latest updates for quickgps
2) Open GPS Tool>com 4>baud 4800>Hot Start>Then click Open and wait like 30 seconds
3) Open TT7
*If you fail to get a fix after following these steps close all programs and repeat. Eventually you should be getting fixes within seconds.
I've attached GPS Tool for you, good luck.
What exactly does the remove hidden proxy cab do on AT&T Tilts? If you go into your connection settings and uncheck the proxy server- is that the same thing or something different than the cab file does?
Hey Red,
I attached an ATT settings cab which does not enable the proxy by default, and also enableds creation mode in MMS settings. I thought it might be helpful for your thread here. Also, it may seem too advanced for beginners, but i have a thread started here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418468
This has a step by step guide to how to create an xml file using Schap's Advanced Config 3.0, which can be used to provision all of your advanced config preferences during your UC setup. This tool has really made it very easy to do reduce the amount of work that goes into flashing.
I also attached a cab for total commander, a free, more full featured file explorer; gps test, another gps tool; and advanced config 3.0. Hope it helps.
Thanks... this is a great thread!!!

I'd really like to know this too!
Why would anyone ever want the proxy checked? Does it do something for you to have it checked?

It removes a HIDDEN proxy, one that you can't remove without a cab. Without it enabled you can't connect to medianet home, and some other things. Most users like to disable it for a myriad of reasons, one of which is that it causes you to be unable to browse while connected to your laptop.
The box that you check in connections is a separate issue, and i think that is actually just old settings, i'm not sure, since even on the AT&T website it tells you no not to have that checked.

Awesome. So, if I run the cab and remove the hidden proxy- can I then tether my laptop (connect to the net using the Tilt's data)- without getting caught by AT&T? Or is there more to tethering without getting caught?
Hey all,
I've run a couple searches and can't seem to find the answer to this question:
Is there a master list of the file names of configuration files for applications like Lumos, Gyrator 2, and others?
The reason I'm asking is that, after a ton of Rom flashes, I'm finding that it takes forever to get each of these aps reconfigured. It would be great to back up XML files, .ini's, or something along those lines for them to my storage card and then copy them back over after a flash.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Same question here....!
Would be great to have an answer.
Try the Sashimi application to save files and registry settings and restore them manually or automatically. It may have a steep learning curve, but once you've put in the effort, it saves you much more time in the long run. Have a look at the contents of my Sashimi filebackup.ini and regexport.ini to get an idea. Good luck!

+1 for SASHIMI...I don't hesitate to flash anymore because of this program (which may not necessarily be all good for the flashaholics!)

Definitely Sashimi. Find it here http://www.winmo-experts.com/. There are video tutorials on how to use which I'd recommend watching, then dive in.
UC is pretty good too, will do all the same stuff and most ROMs support it. However, I've been far more successful going beyond simple cab installs with Sashimi. And, it works with all ROMs.
Weather sites, and program tab button assignments are stored in the registry. Also, under the Application Data there is good stuff stored such as media databases and stock tab.
One of the tricks for determining reg settings is to export your registry before and after you make a change, then using Windiff to compare them. Windiff is free and can be found here http://www.grigsoft.com/download-windiff.htm. It takes a while to get all of your reg edits figured out, but it is worth the time once you do.
Hope it helps.
I have tried many roms, and have found my favourite to be: Williyung's ROM 826X Windows Mobile 6.5.5 build 23519.
I prefer it due to long battery life, and the finger friendly menu's of 6.5.5.
The only issue that I have with this rom is that it is using MS Office 10, which is good, however the excel regularly corrupts files of mine after using them.
What I basically mean is that I will use a file, save it, and go back to use it, and its saved at 0b, which no data what-so-ever.
This is frustrating to me, and I would like to try the older version of Office Mobile to see if it fixes the problem.
Is there any way for me to replace the cooked version on this rom?
shouldn't be a problem: the later installed one will get a separate installation folder under Start (I expect the current installation is located elsewhere)
you can, if you want, remove the cooked-in office, check via properties of \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office Mobile\*.lnk for location of executable files and delete them (if you want to save space)
or keep the files and simply adapt the above shortcuts to the new files/file location)
cheers
Thanks for the reply Draken.
Where would I be able to find a copy of the original office mobile? I have searched around and cant find a cab?
the cooked-in one? no idea what is the exact version he used, therefore hard to tell
but: if you don't delete it and only modify the shortcuts you can preserve it, shouldn't take up much space
if you want it removed: marketplace, search ([url=http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JNN2IRFM]beta, alternative[/URL]) or even pm williyung for his cab
Hi...first time posting, so thanks in advance for your help.
Trying to keep my diamond from being used to look up pictures on the internet
I'd like to be able to keep wi-fi available for 3rd party applications like skype, but I need the browsers to go...specifically the iexplore.exe in the /windows folder which is impossible to delete.
The ideal solution would be to password protect browsers or the wi-fi connection. A text-only browser would also be great, but only if I can get rid of iexplore. If there is no other solution, I'm willing to disable or lock wifi altogether.
Are there any browser-less roms without the iexplore.exe on them, or a possible way to corrupt the integrated iexplore.exe program so its unusable? This is very important to me. If you have any ideas at all, please let me know.
How did you go with this?
I'm looking to do exactly the same thing.
my friend if I understand you you want to disable the Internet from the SIM to stop dialing in the net.....If thats right you can use NoData it disable the settings to make Data-Connection
for the browsers you can use opera mobile 10 and use the settings to stop showing the pictures
sry for my englisch
