MUST haves for newbies??

Hi all,
I've read through the various topics, but there is sooo much to add on the Kaiser. It is hard for a not so technical newbie to understand everything what is said.
The first add-on I installed was the Windows Live CAB, very usefull! With reference to my situation as a first day user, i thought it might be a good idea to open a topic for newbies with the must have files of for the Kaiser.
So, senior users and perhaps programmers.. enlighten us
Greetings Tomas
- Radio version: 1.27.12.11
- Rom versie: 1.56.114.4
- Would like to install the Iphone CAB

im a noob on the tilt and NOTHING installs properly.... has at&t sabotaged the phones ability to install cab files ?

I've never had a problem installing any cab on the tilt.
My guess is it's you. describe step by step in excruciating detail how you are trying to install and I bet the problem will surface.

And as far as must haves, there's few MUST haves. it's more of a preference after that.
you MUST have
a reg editor - if you want to tweak stuff.
a GPS program. tomtom/IG/google maps all will do
everything else is preference. Take a look at the kaiser cab post and decide for yourself what's important to you

Since this afternoon I've installer HardSPL and updated with a HTC rom, dutch language based.
I've installed several more CABs, listed in the Kaiser Cab topic, bur haven't found the Iphone Look Theme... Someone able to help me with this?
Anyone with some extra tips or tweaks?
- Radio 1.27.12.17
- ROM 1.56.404.6

iphone
do a youtube search for iphone and wisbar
i believe that in order to get the iphone look/feel you will need to buy $20 worth of software from wisbar
wisbar advanced
wisbar desktop
i believe that both are needed (thats what youtube told me)

Adding HTC Cube to Diamond ?

I'm about fed up with TouchFlo 3D, nice but pretty useless and I REALLY miss the Cube from my Touch Dual, much more convenient and doens't waste CPU cycles, so...has anyone installed it on the Diamond ?
Found a few existing CUBE topics, but not sure if there might not be interference and if a VGA skin is needed.
Topics : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343583 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348437

Ok had to hard reset...
Was hopeful after a post by SecureGSM :
"HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings:
also, there is one that is suppose to enable cube finctionality there:
EnableCube : default value (0) <--change that to (1)"
But not working for me.

Its not so simple as switching cube on. Cube is simply not there in our Diamond. If u try to install this Cube configurator from the Elf thread, u'll see a multitude of errors, missing files, etc. Cube may be functional here, but we'll be needing all those files

Yes, that sucks, the CUBE is x times more useful than TouchFlo 3D IMHO.
There must be a way though because it was added to non touch devices.

i dun think we'll have to descend to the non touch method, they use flash. i'm sure if we can get the Touch Cruise for example, and get their files, and put it in, it should work? i think

Catching up, I also thought this would do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=348437 but so far no luck either.

bump - hope someone can figure it out ;-)

Another bump, that would be such a useful addition, I'm sure the bright minds around here can figure how to add the Cube back ;-)

have u tried Touch Commander?

Not sure, got a link ? I tried the tools linked in the first message and no go, had to hard reset.

I know a guy who might be very good at this ... Duttie or something like that
Unfortunatly, he is not around (yet)

Sounds good, hope he joins us soon !

Have you considered something like this:

There are a couple of other similar GUIs out there and the good thing about them that they all VGA optimized.

Thanks, but what I like about the cube is up and down the gesture to bring the contact list and then left to right for the various tools. The Contact list would be enough actually.

bumping it up ;-)

gsmart just buggerd up my diamond....
i won't be trying that again in a hurry
this looks good if they can get it to fit our screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417825

Any news guys ? I was so happy with my Touch Cruise but bought the Diamond for the 640x480 screen and faster video playback.
The TouchFlow 3D looks fine but it's very useless to me, The old TouchFlo Cube from the cruise could be swept away and you had your normal windows todayscreen.
I tried the Cube thing SPD Mobile Shell but the old originall CUBE is way better I think.
Any solutions ?

Bump!!! I Want The Cube!!!!!!

same here, in fact I want it so much I've stuck with the HTC Touch Dual, aka Nike !

TouchFlo

Hello, i have bought my htc diamond yesterday, and i don't have the new interface with touchflo 3d. I have the old classic menu on windows mobile! In the menu, at settings-today-items i can't find touchflo, but i have the application, in settings menu ( as application).. help me, how can i activate touch flo

I can't understand why TouchFlo isn't already selected, but if it is indeed installed on your device, you activate it by...
Start...
Settings...
Personal tab...
Today...
Items tab...
Tick "TouchFlo 3D" and remove all other ticks
This should do the trick. If TouchFlo isn't showing in the "Items" list, then your device doesn't have it installed...

Oh Dear!
My friend called me up the other day with exactly the same issue. He had seen videos on youtube demonstrating the touchflo3d running and he realy liked the look of the way you could flick through contacts and messages.
He rushed down to the local tmobile store and demanded his diamond (compact iv)
He rushed home, unpacked the phone and was greeted with windows 6.1 standard screens throughout.
THE TMOBILE STAFF SOLD HIM THE MDA TOUCH!! (HTC VOGUE) nOT THE DIAMOND! They heard key words and thought of commission
Worse still, he opened the box and could not return the phone!
Honestly i doubt that this has happend to you, just thought it was a relevant funny story. Pretty sure one of the helpfull guys on here will provide you the assistance you need swiftly!

^^^Ouch... I would've flipped out.

don't know if there's a cab for that, you should search this forum and find out.
if not, learn how to flash another rom and problem solved

I have the HTC DIAMOND, not the htc vogue, LOL
I can't find the TouchFlo 3D in the items list. Should i flash my diamond? How can i do this? Thank you very much

Manila TouchFlo 3.8

At this forum there was a cab file including touchflo 3.x or 3.8. Try to search for it.

Help, Pocket e-sword squeeze mostly in 2009 ROMs

Please help, why pocket e-sword menu for book, chapter, and verse are squeeze in mostly new ROMs dated 2009.
This program was work perfectly in earlier ROM.
Any solution?

Same issue
I've had this same issue with the shrunk toolbar icons and misalignment of some of the controls. I'm not sure what the solution is.

One more
I've been using pocket e-sword since ages (dell x50v, Hermes, Kaiser, Raphael) and this is the first phone which has trouble displaying it. Actually my original 1.90.405.1 Raphael ROM did show it correctly, the trouble came with the official 5.05.401.1 upgrade in February.
I can confirm that EnergyROM 2.0 41609 also suffers, though e-sword was one of the first things I tried on it :-(
Maybe we should also bug Rick Meyers to try to see the cause of the problem. Hopefully all new WM phones, not just HTCs will be effected, so the pressure might increase. He upgraded the program when the new VGA PDAs came out.... The best Bible program in my opinion!

I sent him this bug report:
[greetings...] This February I upgraded my VGA WM6.1 HTC Touch Pro to a new ROM version, and e-sword appears garbled. As I've been searching for a solution to this problem I'm starting to realize the amount of people being effected, anybody with a newer HTC phone: VGA, WVGA alike :-( While we are trying to find a solution, I can imagine it might be a very little change in your program which could fix the problem... Maybe not...
The icons shrunk to quarter size, forms squeezed to half width (I'd gladly send screenshots, let me know if they would help). I'm still trying to use the program, but it's almost impossible. Maybe there's an easy fix. I'd guess it has to do with the screen metrics the OS reports to e-sword and the way e-sword then uses these values. People also think it could be related to .Net 3.5, but even if I force my PDA to use 2.0 it doesn't seem to fix. [greetings...]

hi Guys,
I've tried bugging Rick for a few months now and have had no reply. I think he's been busy with the E-Sword NET project

I submitted the problem twice through the website with no reply. Sounds like he's got to be well aware of it by now.
I've got some commercial software that works ok, but it just doesn't function as well. Also, there aren't as many commentaries available.

I've been looking around for a solution to this problem as well. I have a Sprint Touch Pro; it works when I use the original ROM that came on the device, but on any other ROM from any kitchen that I've tried (including WM 6.5) this problem exists where the program seems to think it is on a QVGA device,. I've gone through the registry looking for the possibility that something has the wrong resolution encoded there, but I've not been successful.
There is a config file for the Pocket e-Sword itself; perhaps on VGA devices it sets a value in this file (for those cases where it works)? I'd rather not go back to the stock ROM at this point, so perhaps someone else can look at this file (\Program Files\Pocket e-Sword\Pocket e-Sword.config) to see if there is anything related to resolution there when it is displaying correctly?
I've emailed Rick Myers through their web site also, and like the others I've heard nothing unfortunately so far.

Confirmed
I can also confirm this on elite RC3 ROM for the Fuze.

Thanks for bringing this up, Im running the NRG Rom which is great but having the same issue. Esword working properly would make make the Fuze the best phone I have ever had.

I have an old backup of my memory card from the time pesw used to work. I cannot see any resolution setting in here.

older version
I have an older version that was on a memory card i bought. As I do not believe in god(s) u r welcome to it.

I agree, the config file is just for storing personal settings. What we need is a response from RM. I've sent bug reports in the past and never had replies, which is a shame!
I'm glad someone mentioned that forcing .net 2 doesn't help I was about to try that!
Here are the ROMs I've tried that e-s has these problems with:
Official HTC Touch Pro Updated ROM
Elite ROM RC4
Shep's ROM 21222
Shep's ROM 21232
I haven't found a modern ROM that works as yet but if I do I'll let everyone know.
If only Pocket e-Sword were an open source project!

I also am annoyed that Pocket e-Sword is not an open source project. GRR..... I am another long term user of the program that can't now use it since I have a Raphael. My wife has the same problem as she now has a Diamond.
If anyone would like to contact Rick Myers directly, whois gladly provided his contact information, including a phone number. Who knows, it might work!

e-word display problem
Hello,
I wanted to communicate you only briefly, that i contacted Rick and he work on the problem with the display.
Bye,
Tom

Great new to hear Rick is working on the problem.
Hopefully we get as well an update for the pocket e-Sword (the desktop version just launched a new version recently)

A new version has been released!
It solves almost all problems, the only thing left (at least on my Raphael) is that the bible text is WAY too large, even with the smallest font size selected. I've contacted Rick about it, hopefully he'll come up with something.

Pocket e-Sword for Windows Mobile 6 (VGA only)
http://www.e-sword.net/pocketpc/downloads.html
Pocket e-Sword for Windows Mobile 6 (VGA only) (v3.1.0) 4,452kb
Updated 06-22-09
Not tested it yet as I'm at work on a Mac but hopefully all is well now!
Thanks Rick! (If you're reading this?)
Update: Having now tested it on my Touch Pro running WM6.5, I can confirm that everything that was teeny tiny, is now as it should be - top marks! That said, the text size is abnormally large... hopefully Rick gets wind of this bug and fixes soon otherwise people will be reading over my shoulder on the train - maybe that's not such a bad thing!?

New version works on Touch Pro2
Hi all
I am using the new (VGA) version on my Touch Pro2 and it seems to work well. A couple of times it's not been able to open the bible and other resources but a soft reset solves this.
Cheers

Att fuze-wm6.5 driving me nuts

I have n unsuccessfully tried 4 times to put on various betas of wm 6.5 on my fuze but each time i end up having to go back to the one i had previously. can anyone please point me to the latest and stable 6.5 ?? Thanx to all.

duuuuudddeee!!!!
ummm...and what makes you think that this is the correct forum section for posting about the fuze? see the top-most bar on this page...see the place on the top-left where it says "xda-developers > Kaiser > Kaiser general"?
use that same bar to navigate to the "ROM Development Section" of the relevant forum section for the fuze (also known as the "Raphael")!

Are you really trying to put a Kaiser rom on your Fuze ? After you brick your Fuze, can I have it. ?

We should just take it from him, endangering a piece of good tech..
Someone call the Gadget police.

Sometimes i wonder if the average smartphone is smarter than the average smartphone user?
Dibs on your brick

I have the Energy Rom 3.0 and I must say I have only found 1 bug (the contacts display on the dialer screws up when u scroll. Bust that is THE rom to flash if you want stability, speed and reliability. I really dont have anyother to recommend, Ive never had the need to replace my rom. I hope this helps. and...if your looking a Rom for the kaiser and accidentally called it fuze..man im having trouble finding a good rom for the kaiser with 6.5 myself, They told me that PDA Corner Ultimate-X2.V10 was a good one. So there you go.

Deleted... wrong post.
