Any way to get back the Pocket IE welcome page?

Hi all,
Just got my 2nd new Kaiser (first one had White Screen of Death) and it also has the home page as a black screen with the HTC logo; not too usefull. Any ideas how to get back the Welcome Screen that has your most recently opened pages and search? Thanks for any ideas...

Ok, well I tried just copying over the default_0409.htm file (checked and all the image files etc. were already in the Windows directory). This brings up the correct looking page, but the Favourites and History buttons don't work; they open File Explorer at the Windows directory instead!
Would be glad for any ideas for what is missing on my Kaiser that I could copy over from the Hermes.
I have attached the file if anyone would care to have a look; I searched to see if any other html pages were linked for example, but I don't know script...

I tried the same thing but no luck

*bump*
Does no one else want this start page in IE? Thanks in advance for any ideas...

bump, that page is on the Mio A501 and it's pretty neat !

Guess no one else likes that page, thanks for the bump though! I have been fiddling but still can't get it to work....

Solved ------> HTC's PIE_Default_409.htm
Okay, There are two ways to do this!!!! The first is time consuming & involves multiple registry changes. I can walk you through it or send you a registry file to import (if you wanna trust me ) or you can do it the easy way!
Easy Way: I'm sure many of you have the absolutely great proggy SK Tools. Well, the new release (4.1.21.x) has a "Replaced Rom Files" function. So either buy the great program or download the trial. Launch the "Replaced Rom Files" tool & check the box for the item marked PIE_Default_xxx.htm (xxx = your language code), either click & hold or check the box, then select action, then select "Restore Rom File". Then enjoy your new "original" HTC PIE Homepage with expandale History & Favorites!

Not sure, might help if you post a JPEG of the screen? The TXT file you included does not work for me.

I just put together a cab file for this today using some files posted by another xda member (I don't remember who it was to credit them).

DANG IT YOU DOG! I jumped the gun on my post! I spent the last week flashing back & digging to find all the references that kept me from changing the by just importing the default_xxx.htm. I finished my cab & logged back in to post it & darn it all if you hadn't beat me to it!

LOL. It's pretty simple to correct with all the correct files. I actually just copied the files to my Windows directory when I first tried it out but figured I'd post a cab file to make it easier on everyone else

thanks for sharing, works fine on the Nike too.

Hi,
I tried running the CAB on my stock Orange HTC ROM, but I still get the orange homepage, not the (more useful) Internet Explorer page as promised above! Any ideas?

Your folder structure must be different. Did you soft reset after install? Otherwise you can do it with SK Tools if it was part of the original ROM.

I did soft reset, but no joy. I may look into SK Tools, although I have just managed to get Opera Mini up and running, so may play around with that instead. Thanks for the advice!

You can go into PIE under Menu, Tools, Options, and see the path and filename for your current homepage. It's possible that Orange uses a different filename as the default page. If you tell me what the filename is and where it's located I can make an updated cab for you.

Here you go. This file is for devices with the Orange ROM only!
You can uninstall the old one first.

Are you guys able to browse with PIE while on 3.5G/HSDPA?
After I open PIE, I receive this same screen on my Tilt, but I'm unable to browse anywhere (my hsdpa account is activated, of course).
I receive (in the bottom left corner) a message: "connecting", but nothing happens.
On the other hand, If I browse with WIFI on, using PIE, I can enter any URL without any problems at all.
In both cases, I can send & receive emails without any problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

As I replied to your other post, check your proxy settings. Which data plan do you have? Are you connecting to WAP or ISP?

All messages open at end of message. Please help...

I'm using an AT&T Tilt with the default ROM, no modifications, just added software. My text and email messages are opening at the end of the message. The scrollbar is scrolled all the way down. On really long messages, like long emails, it won't be scrolled all the way to the end, but down quite a ways. Does anyone know what might be causing this, or how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...

did ya install kaisertweak? I read somewhere on this forum that that tool is causing that problem

No, I haven't installed that. But thank you for asking. I may check those references and see if anyone with that problem has found a solution...

try this , and please let us know!

That was it. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! Your original hunch was probably correct. I haven't installed that program but I did manually edit the registry to do that tweak. I didn't even think it was relevant cause I thought it only affected PIE. Looks like I have lots more reading to do at these boards. Thanks again for your help, and quick response...

I posted this in another thread, I have the Tweak installed on my Tilt and have the 4-Way Nav already set to 1. It still does this, very annoying. Any other suggestions?

didn't work on my HTC TyTN II either the suggested registry value value was already 1. I've been fiddling with KaiserTweak earlier.

Yea, been there, done that, still no luck. The default was already set to "1" so it must be something else. The investigation continues.

Install/Run untrusted application - final solution?

Hello,
For the past few days the (from what I gather) well-known problem of not being able to install or run an 'untrusted' application has been plaguing me. However, I've been searching here and googling around for a long time now with no result...
Been using Dutty's 5.2.19199 (WM6.1) and I really didn't change any setting! So what gives? Any ideas?Basically, how do I get the prompt back (the one during installation)?
Thanks in advance!

Check your registry settings! Use KaiserTweak or Schaps' AdvanceConfig!

Yes, I know it must be something in the registry, but what? And, I thought of Tweak and AdvanceConfig but -guess what? They're not authenticated! Argh!

If you are technical, try this: Download KaiserTweak's latest XML file and open the file in Notepad. Then see what registry key(s) is(are) modified for this tweak.

Ah now - that's a great idea! But, do you know of any PC-based registry editor, since I cannot install one on my TyTNII?

If you're really technical, you can follow through with cmonex's way found here.
If not, search for dot fred task manager, which includes a great *FREE* registry editor amongst other tools, much better than PHM Reg Editor, imo....

Whoa, thanks a bunch. I'll try the task manager first (found here, btw), but I'm not sure if I'll be able to run it either - the whole system seems VERY restricted! I'll try to make heads from tails with the instructions in the other thread. Thanks so much!
Btw, I do seem to remember a program that allowed you to edit the PPC's registry from Windows PC, anyone remember that?
Thanks again guys - much, much appreciated!

You can run the untrusted app, i.e. Advanced Conig. Just select yes. Then make the changes.
BTW, to view the xml, just Open notepad on pc & drop the xml in the notepad window.

No I can't that's my problem - it just flat refuses to run it, it doesn't give me the prompt.. that's why I'm asking for a PC-based registry editor!
Anyhow, I'll try it today and will let you know if I manage it!

Here is another PC based mobile registry editor. Simple to use and works well. Havent found any serious problems with it

Yes, I'm trying this right now
Btw, the registry setting seems to be:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a
Value=1: disabled
Value=0: enabled
Desc.:Enable or disable the warning you get when opening a program that is not digitally signed

The problem with this cab (and another one I had found) is that, once the mobile goes berzerk, you can't install it because, of course, it's unsigned... Catch 22! Thanks anyway - and, by the way, superb site, added to my RSS aggregator at once!
Anyhow, I just applied the reg tweak (set to 0), reset, thing asks me to verify running unsigned start-up programs, I OK them, and then... still same problem! What the heck? There doesn't seem to be any other tweak...

It has to be set to 1 for disabling.. You set to 0?
Regards,
Carty..

Yes, I set it to 0; it was set to 1 (probably an earlier KaiserTweak session), but I actually wanted to get the prompt so that I could tell it that f*cking yes, I want to run/install the app!
Anyhow, been switching between 0 and 1 with no effect... Feel a hard reset coming on, but it's weird because I've found quite a few posts around (not necessarily here) and no solution...

Got the same problem after a white screen after hardspl, but changing the registry worked for me. Thanks, now I can try jumpspl.

Quick question...

Am I imagining it or should the screen flip over when I move the diamond to horizontal when browsing on Opera? If it should be, how do I make mine do it?

it should do it automatically
Edit:
Try this ..enter your browser, go to settings, then display and automatic full screen should be marked

Ok, well than I have a problem because it's not. Help!

Try this ..enter your browser, go to settings, then display and automatic full screen should be marked

Full screen was marked. Thanks though...
Ok, I just realised that my battery was very low. Not only was the screen refusing to go horizontal, when it did go eventually go horizontal, the key-pad came up and showed me missed calls!?? Does the diamond go a bit crazy when battery is low? lol!

Buddy:
A word of advice:
Read all the post and threads before you start your own topics.
Dont be lllaaazzzyyyyy, we were all once new to the Diamond.
All the questions you asked since you have become a memeber have been asked and mostly resolved.
Make everyone a favor and explore all the knowledge that has been gathered for Diamond users.
It all there man!
Luck!

Thanks for the post, but I searched for this issue and couldn't find anything.
As you're such a senior member, some help and perhaps at least pointing me in the right direction on this forum would be greatly appreciated.

What usually helps in this situation is do the following:
-Quick fix for the Opera is here: Latestzz version of Opera which I believe is the one on Duttythroy.net
-Uninstall current Opera version and reinstall with 1938.
If that does not work try this:
-Flash ROM. You choose your poison. All ROMS offered are good, it all depends on your taste.
-And then reinstall new Opera version (if ROM does not have it)
Luck!
And remember to search and read!

Thanks for the tips. I should have mentioned that I have Swift v6.0 ROM...
Are you saying that the low battery and crazy web page viewing is common then? Or that the screen not going horizontal is common?

Some bugs on the switchng to horizontal and then starting phone app are common. I believe they dont have anything to do with batts.
You will stumble across multiple bugs, the Jewel is one spoiled brat. But we all love him anyways

Does the latest Opera on dutty's webage fix this bug?
Also - and I have searched for this relentlessly - I don't understand how to install cab files, can you tell me where they need to go on the phone before I try to execute the file...

Go to Programs and icon should be there click and enjoy

How to automatically detect if "Optical Pad Mode" is enabled?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to tell if the optical pad is currently enabled on the Xperia X1 programmatically? Is there a registry setting somewhere that shows the current mode (D-Pad or Optical)?
...I actually don't have an X1 at the moment, otherwise I would have have been able to investigate this more. I've checked through the xda forums and on Google and haven't found any hints on this.
Hopefully, someone has already come across this setting and will be able to point me in the right direction?
Also, a second question... does anyone have any thoughts on how to detect whether the current device is an "Xperia X1"? I'm guessing there would be a registry setting for this.
Thank you -- any information would be very much appreciated.

I know for one that the device info is a .txt document in the windows folder. I have no idea about the D-pad though. I can't imagine you'd be able to tell through the registry, as modes aren't usually controlled through the registry - which is rather used for fixed variables. I think only the driver "knows" the current status. Won't be easy to extract.

Thank you for your prompt response Angelusz. Do you happen to recall the name of the .txt file with the device info?
As for the location of the optical/d-pad mode setting, I actually wouldn't be at all surprised if they stored it in the registry. The setting has to be stored on the system somewhere, and the registry is as good a place as any.
(Sometimes, it's actually beneficial to store things in the registry since then you don't have to worry about creating your own custom file format, or writing file read/write classes.)
Anyone willing to check the registry for such a setting? Or perhaps do a search using the Remote Registry Editor ("Edit->Find")? Maybe a search for "optical" or something?
I'd probably assume that there would be something stored in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers"...
Really, any help with this would be great.
Thanks again.

ModelName.txt - it just sais X1i - or X1a if it's an X1a ofc.
I searched the registry for "dpad" - no results.
Checked HKLM/Drivers - no results.
I still think I'm right.

Thanks for the additional info on the filename and it's contents. So, (just to confirm) the only thing in that file is "X1i" or "X1a"? Or would I have to parse for anything else in there?
Also, thank you very much for doing that search, much appreciated!
Hehe... well, I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure you're wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me if you were ...I'm just saying that the driver has to look somewhere to see whether the optical pad is enabled or not.
They can either use a file or the registry, that's pretty much it. Otherwise a soft-reset or battery drain would cause that setting to be reset.
Okay, one more request, if you don't mind.
Would you (or anyone) be willing to do a registry search for the term "optical" with "Values" and "Keys" checked, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?
I realize that this is a lot to ask, so please feel free to say no. In any case, I really do appreciate all of the time you've spent on this so far.
Thanks again for all of your help!

----------

it is under settings, there you can see the optical pad icon to change the settings.
you can put it on/off and there is a option if you want to use it in ie (internet explorer) and you can adjust the sensitivity.
peace to all

Yes, just X1i or X1a.
That finds some settings, just some strings. A filename, OpticalJoystick_Setings.exe (the app below post describes) and that's it.

Anyway, thank you very much for confirming the data in the text file, Angelusz; and for running the additional registry search. This is very useful and I thank you deeply for taking the time to look into all of this stuff for me!
blackice168: Thank you for your post as well... I saw what you wrote before you deleted it and it was actually quite helpful since I didn't know that about the X1. Turns out that I was asking the wrong question... heh
gizmo1908: Thank you also for your post; and don't worry, your english is actually quite good!
Based on the various posts I now know what to do with the X1; so thanks again everyone!
