Strange Icons - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi,
I have noticed that on my brand new Diamond some programs after they are installed show a strange (damaged) icon in the "Programs" window. However when executed the corresponding "small" version under the "most recent applications" menu looks fine.
One of such programs is ScummVM.
(I have attached some pictures)
On my "old" TyTN II everything was fine.
Do you know how to fix such a strange behaviour ?

It seems lots of users experience this bug. Find some info here and workaround here. Hope it helps.

Thanks, disabling the buggy TouchFlow3D solved the problem.
I hope HTC will soon release a patch or a firmware update.

Noticed Something with the Video/Graphics Driver Issue

For those of you that are running the original HTC WWE rom (1.56.405.5, radio 1.27.12.11), and have the 'HTC Home' on the today screen (i.e. the big clock with weather, favorites etc.) if you click on the "Launcher" tab, then click on the "Programs" button (if you have it saved), you will see the best and fastest scrolling you ever saw in your life while in the Programs area. But if you exit the Programs area to go back to the main screen, then click on the "start" tab, then go to "Programs", everything is slow and laggy again when scrolling.
I hope I explained this correctly. Maybe some genius out there can use this information to figure out why the scrolling is excellent when going into the Programs area using the "Launcher" on the HTC Home, and use it to develop something??
P.S. I only say the original HTC rom because that is what I am using and I don't know if others are experiencing this as well.
Very, Very nice find.
I can confirm this to work for:
- Dutty's WM6.1 BUILD 5.219716
- Radio 1.64.06.04 - 25.70.40.02H
yeah your right. also works for me with original rom. indeed a nice find.
I also thought it had something to do with video drivers initially, but unfortunately, it's just a different program which is launched from HTC Home.

Problem with SPB Pocket Plus & WM6.1...?

Hi there
Does anyone else use SPB Pocket Plus (latest version V4.0.2 - Dec 07) and WM6.1 and suffer the annoying problem where the today plugin icons don't pickup correctly after a reset?
It's easily fixed by clicking to refresh all tabs, but surely it shouldn't do it???
I'm also suffering a problem whereby not all text messages are received by my phone. (I posted in the General section with no joy - am hoping that you software guys may know if something conflicts?!) It's very strange as the phone lights up as if a text is coming through, then nothing happens. I've tried a Hard Reset and restore to no avail.
Wierd thing is, my mate has a Kaiser on Vodafone UK (V1615) running WM6.0 and he has the same problem - I'm on O2-UK so it's not a carrier problem.
I set his Kaiser up for him with much the same software as mine, including SPB PocketPlus V4.0.2...
I also (I know, I'm sorry!) have a problem with the today screen if I change things... For example, if I change the backdrop via Pictures and Video's, more often than not the phone will hang requiring a stylus reset. Am wondering if this is SPB PocketPlus related???
Any idea's? (Sorry about the multi questions!!)
Cheers
sorry about the double post!

As far as the PocketPlus, I am using it and I haven't had a problem at all with the icons or anything else for that matter. I haven't had any problems with the txt msgs either. You may need to reset the mms server?? I don't know about that, I just remember reading about it in another thread somewhere... As for the backdrop change, that's not a pocket plus related conflict. I am not sure what else you have installed, but I have changed mine multiple times in the past 2 days and haven't had a single problem or anything that told me I had reset or that I needed to soft reset the phone. I would suggest unistalling the Pocket Plus and reinstalling it. I know that I have had to do that before because of one of the other SPB proggies i used had changed some values in the registry for it. Otherwise, I would contact SPB, they would know how to fix it. Unless you didn't purchase it...
Hi Killerbeans!
I'v tried uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times to no avail unfortunately
The only other things I have installed (all bought and paid for!) that startup with the phone are SKTools (set to performance optimisation) and Kasperski AntiVirus...
I might try uninstalling those and SPB and reinstalling them one by one...
Cheers for the response though!
I have been havng the spb problems since 6.1 installation as well (I am with AT&T in the US, original Kaiser).
Thanks for pointing out the "Refresh All Tabs" option...I have to stupidly admit that I was not aware of it and I have been fixing the icons one at at a time....very boring...However, I have no solution to offer to the problem, other than to verify that it is a real one.
Hmm running fine on my kaiser with the hyperdragon roms...
Are you using the "close button" plugin? if so, did you enter tmail.exe and poutlook.exe as exceptions? don;t doing this could lead to problems
for the icons, I have the same problems too sometimes, did you install it on main memory? are the missing icons from programs installed on storagecard?
there is an option under today plugins->advanced, "refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." try enabling that and see if it helps
Bartus
Hi guys!
Thanks for the responses! It's 'good' to know it's not just me having the SPB problem, although not good that it's happening at all!
I've installed it on Storage Card (as I have since my Wizard days). Using SKTools I've set the SDDeamon to startup 1st so was hoping that'd sort it... it didn't
I'm glad the refresh all tabs helped!
I've added those exceptions Bartus so I'll report back! I have the refresh icons when storage card inserted already which doesn't seem to work. It is the apps located on the storage card that don't load though so it has do be something to do with that.
Go back to 4.0.1 it doesn't have the problem.
Hi Sirooga
I'll give that a try, if I still have it on my HDD!
Cheers!

Today Plugin Problems
I also use pocket plus on my Tilt, and it is apparently version 4.0.2 build 6227. What really annoys me is that the today plugin worked perfectly on wm 6.0, but after that &[email protected]#! 6.1 upgrade, it works fine for a few hours after I installed a lot of programs and soft resetted a bunch, until I backed up my phone. After using sprite Backup 5 ONCE, it deletes all my tabs and icons in the plugin and doesn't remember them no matter what I do. It still is checked in the today plugins menu, but it isn't there as there is nothing for it to show. SPB's got some serious work to do.

Today plug-ins shoud be installed to Main Memory.
Spb 4.01 works far better than 4.02 IMO.

help me! CRASH with touchflo 3d on diamond opening favorite contacts!!

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum.
I got this problem with the diamond, when I try to open "people" on touchflo, the manila.exe restart all the interface without the possibility to open favorite contacts. I have 1.93 italian rom and ..25.05 radio version.
I need to know How to update touchflo without upgrading rom if possible or simpler replace with a brand new the file/s for "people".
Thanx
Cheers
hey there
no one seemed to solve my problem when the exact same thing happened... mine was with music player tho..
i solved it anyway...
install TF3D config.. under appearence select default skin
it will reinstall manila..
everything (data wise) stays intact and u are ready to go
yep..im having a similar problem but no responses to my thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2623019#post2623019
im trying to restore to defaults using tf3d config see if it fixes the problem...
nope...didnt fix it =/
I had a similar problem. That time it was related to the assigned contact pictures. Try reassigning or removing the pictures of those contacts you have saved as favorites in the Contacts applicatio. That fixed it for me.

New Owner questions... e. g. G-Sensor, colors...

Hi,
i have bought a German Vodafone branded Touch Diamond 2. But i have some questions:
- There is a built-in G-Sensor, which can be calibrated, but it do nothing else. I can rotate the phone till my hands fall off, but nothing happens (i already tried some registry tweaks, i found in this forum)
- When i click on the Symbols in the Startmenu line e. g. the battery symbol, then it doensn't open the battery settings, but something called "notifications" (Benachrichtigungen).
- The Manila screen has wrong colors. White/red instead of black/white. How can i change it?
- How can i get the "HTC Audio Manager" to play the files in a folder? I want to listen to a audiobook, but it messes up the file order, which is pretty annoying.
Now, while i am writing this, i think about flashing a unbranded ROM could be simpler, right? But is this the solution i am looking for?

- Accelerometer: Are you attempting to use the g-sensor for anything in particular? Try loading up the game "Teeter" which relies on the accelerometer for moving the ball along a maze. There are few provided apps which require the accelerometer functionality, and Manila doesn't rotate by default.
- TouchFLO notifications is an addon provided by HTC. Search the forums for instructions on how to disable this functionality; I believe there are a couple of applications which will allow you to do this without manually editing registry keys etc.
- Red / White is Vodafone's brand. You may be able to install a replacement skin for Manila, it's up to you.
I'm afraid I don't use my Topaz for listening to music, so I can't help with your final issue.
Flashing an unbranded ROM may resolve the third issue, but the rest will more than likely remain. I don't see them being issues, though, just personal preference!
HTH.
Thanks for the answers!
The solution for the first and the second problem is this. If someone is wondering: The Topaz has a built in G sensor, but it is unused, mean's that no installed program is using this feature by default. Really strange from my point of view!
The third problem seem to be a little more difficult: M2DC say's that manila is not installed! And i wasn't able to find a Diamond II skin to download. Others are available. Maybe someone can give me a hint?
For the fourth problem i work around using a patched TCPMP, which looks a little outdated, but is my personal number one for media playback.
Greets schnurzelat
I think you will find that the sensor is used when you flip the phone over on an incoming call to mute the ringing!
That's why I never use branded ROMs (T-Mobile Germany)!
M2DC won't work 100% with new Manillas, never worked on branded or official ROMs for me.
Try latest original German HTC WM6.1 ROM Build 1.39.407.1.
I don't like WM6.1, so I use Tom's Leo R2 WM6.5 incl. very nice Manilla 2.5, which runs great with latest Radio, but it's English language.
I don't like branded ROM's too. But the german vodafone flash isn't availble yet - so i can't go back in case of warrenty issue.

Windows Mobile 6.5 - HELP !!!

Hi guys, I'm interested in flashing my X1 with a clean WM 6.5 ROM, without any additional, modified stuff.
1. Does 6.5 run smoothly on the X1 ? What about the memory usage?
2. Has the screen problem (I cannot recall it exatly but AFAIK it concerned either the landscape mode or the dialer) ?
3. Are there any SERIOUS BUGS in 6.5 which would be a reason for you to resignate from flashing to 6.5 ?
4. Which ROM would you recommend, if there are several ?
I want to stress once more that I'm interested only in the clean version, no fancy stuff.
If you have any suggestions concerning an upgrade to 6.5 please feel free to share them with me.
Thanks in advance !!!
just try
I find windows 6.5 smooth enough on the X1. I have not encountered any problems with the screen. I can't say which ROM you should choose, it's a matter of personal taste. I prefer Christian's (clean) ROM. Just take a look at ROM development and try a ROM. Read the tutorials before flashing in order to avoid bricking your phone.
Good luck
thanks for the quick reply. I now recalled the display problem I was talking about: someone reported display corruption concerning the dialer when you use scrolling with the keypad hidden, is this still a problem or has it already been fixed ?
I'm also using Christians clean rom without any major issues.
Just tried the scrolling with the keypad hidden (on the latest 3.904) and you do get graphics corruption, but it's only minor, if you tap on the show keyboard again it rerenders ok again.
Not really an issue for me anyway as I just type the start of the name in on the keyboard and it filters.
I did it screen corruption in the dialer is minor, I think I can handle my phone with that little bug runs smoothly, everything's fine. Can anyone tell me if there's a possibility to customize the "favorites" menu on the today screen ? i tap it and a list of links opens, but I cannot add my own programs.
im using gtrab Pure 6.5 ... very fast and clean.. still didn't happened any problem from over 1 month...

Try CLauncher plugin for launching programs and atcontacts for contacts ... these work fine on mine.
Just be aware that not all plgins are compatible with the latest wm builds and not all are compatible with thw wvga screens.
thanks for the tip, but:
when I install and tap on "applications" in order to add a program I get the following message: the file App3 cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, ore one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
what shall I do ?
EDIT:
had to reinstall mortscript, the plugin works fine ! thanks man !

Question to those who have tried unOff, gtrab, and Christian's: what other differences have you noticed? (other than Christian's running 6.5.3)

the titanium weather plugin works fine in europe as far as i know.
You just need to find your city code n Accuweather.
Should look something like this EUR|UK|UK186|LEEDS
