Phone = AT&T Tilt.
I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find
However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.
I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck
being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.
Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:

Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

Thanks for the handy link Mike. I'll put it to good use!
Hey guys,
This is my first post, which could be a disaster if this is all down to my stupidity, but I swear I've done a lot of searching and come up with nothing. That out of the way...
When I go to the TouchFLO internet page on my XDA Ignito the default site if you hit 'launch browser' is m.yahoo.com, is there any way to change this at all? I'd much prefer it to launch with about:blank for responsiveness, and so my GPRS doesn't auto-connect when I want to do something with Opera.
Thanks in advance for any help, I'm really glad there's a community like this for users of HTC devices. I've already used this forum as a lurker for a lot of information (including upgrading my old Hermes to Winmobile 6), you guys are superb.
Sincerely,
Ulfhedjinn.
Launch Opera.
Tap the Options icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (it's a black box with horizontal lines in it with a similar smaller white box partially in top of it) and this'll pop up a list of options.
Select the Settings option.
Tap the Start Page bar and it'll drop down various options to do with the default page.
Select the 'User-defined' option and enter about:blank in the text box.
I had a bit of trouble getting Opera to 'remember' my change when I was doing exactly that so if this doesn't take effect then do a soft reset (after making sure everything is still as you want it in Opera) to get the option to 'stick'.
Hello Medulla,
Thanks a lot for the advice, I appreciate it. Unfortunately I'd already tried setting the homepage in Opera to about:blank or Google UK, and got them to stick in the browser (which can be a pain at times as you mentioned), but the internet page in TouchFLO still says "Launch Browser" with "m.yahoo.com" under it.
I tried setting my homepage and then doing a soft reset, just to see if it would work, but unfortunately I still get m.yahoo.com as my homepage unless I manually start Opera from programs or by pressing "Browser" at the bottom of the internet menu instead of "Launch Browser" at the top.
I was wondering if the m.yahoo.com default was tied in to the registry or firmware.
Thanks again for the reply.
Using file manager..
Go to:
\Application Data\Manila\
rename the file InternetPortal-en-AU.xml to something else (or delete).
Alternatively, you could change the home URL inside that xml file, that should fix your problem. It's a read only file, you would need to use something like total-commander to modify the attribute. G luck ..
Hello techdave,
You, sir, are my bloody hero. Renaming that file worked a treat.
I can't thank you enough.
very useful tip. thx a lot
Yes, that was driving me crazy too! Thanks for this tip
My first post on the forum after using many of the excellent tips etc..
This is a great tip, its been bugging me since getting my diamond, I've managed to change the default page in the xml file to Google UK, also got rid of the MySpace and You Tube links by modifying the same file (using Total Commander).
I would also like to my put my own links and icons (similar to the MySpace and You Tube ones) on the main Opera Touch Flo screen, I've changed the link but have no idea how to change the image, the xml file refers to .qtc files for the images.
What are .qtc files and how can I create them to put my own icons in?
EDIT - found the answers after some deep searching
also used this tip to get rid of something which has been bugging me since I first got the phone, thanks
I'd been searching everywhere for this. Thanks so much!
(ATT FUZE) I've tried googling and browsing through the preferences in opera:config, but is there a way to change the default web search from the landscape menu from Yahoo? I absolutely hate yahoo.
Anyone ?
i would love to know this as well?
Curious myself as well. I have looked all over the net with no luck so far.
I'm using the Sprint Touch Pro using Juggalo rom and when I click on web search in landscape it brings up Google. Might want to ask him on ppcgeeks.com I don't know if he post here or not.
Mine changed to google when I changed to the tf3d landscape theme..
I was unable to find any other way of doing this, but it has to be possible since its something within manila I expect.
I currently use the ROMeOS2 Confuzed ROM and when I use the landscape search it uses google so there is definitely a way to get that setup just wit around for someone to point it out for you.
Found it
In windows directory there is a file called
ActionMenuItems.xml
Change from read only
Change the http ://us.m2. yahoo blah blah to whatever you want.
change back to read only
reboot phone.
I tried this, and now all my buttons show email and are not clickable. Could someone post thier working or unedited xml file so I can see if i accidentally changed something?
can someone upload a copy of the ActionMenuItems.xml file? my rom is missing this file. Thank you.
Edit: Winmo 6.5 doesn't come with ActionMenuItems.xml or InternetPortal.xml. I found them in a kitchen file. They worked.
can anyone post the rss hub cab that comes on the stock raph.? it is another casualty of att branding. thanks!

Thanks oodles! I was trying to get Opera mini to handle RSS but:
a) it didn't allow me to group them so I could separate them by content (text vs audio) and frequency (I keep a list of ~40 RSS feeds and have annotated them by their update frequency)
b) I couldn't edit the names
c) it didn't work on the BBC Newspod feed
RSS Hub solves all of those and the interface is elegant. Thanks again!
RSS hub help with scrolling
Hello, I was wondering if anyone using RSS hub has found it annoying to scroll while in an open feed.
Usually, I open a feed to an article I wish to read. The short blurb doesn't cut it so I wish to scroll done to, "Read More Online...". But when I attempt to scroll to the bottom, it doesn't scroll, rather it highlights the words.
Is there a way to smart scroll within the feed that is still open by RSS hub?
Thanks for reading guys.

well, are you only lightly pressing, cause that is the exact thing that happens. you really have to push it down for the flick scrolling to kick in. otherwise you will highlight...
or try yomomedia which is actually a lot nicer
nope not light touch
@ Vader165
Nope, not light touch, regardless if I press hard or not, when the feed is open with RSS Hub, it just highlights. Any solutions?
@ Kwill
Yomomedia is actually quite nice interface. As much as it is aesthetically pleasing, it takes a while to load. However, I think I will have to use this, if I am not able to smart scroll in RSS Hub.

I’m guessing your running a WM 6.5 ROM? If so this is normal behavior and cannot be fixed. The kinetic scrolling of 6.5 breaks the touchflo in certain apps and the RSS Hub happens to be one of them. I always just have to use the side scroll bars to scroll through an article. I enlarge the width of my vertical scroll bars using Advanced config and it makes it a lot easier.
Great tip

Great tip. I went on and employed this and it makes using the RSS Hub under 6.5 a lot better.
One more question, if you don't mind Climber, is there a way to move the scroll bar to the left, for lefties like me?
Thanks for the tip again!

Sorry but as far as I know this is not possible. You would think that Microsoft would have added this option considering that not everyone is right handed.
you could use the new version of Rss hub, newsbreak. i have it and i love it because it actually does podcasts. and well.
SPB Online
I just downloaded SPB Online, which contains an RSS reader and the "touchflo" scrolling works in article view. As a matter of fact, this is the best RSS reader I have ever used. It's not free, but if you access your RSS reader as often as I do it's well worth the money.
Have you tried Opera Mini 5 yet? I'm liking it on my TP
http://www.opera.com/mini/next/download/
it's gorgeous. it's actually laughable that other than somes issues with switching between landscape and portrait it's a better browser than opera mobile.

You need to copy the jad and the jar file to a folder on your storage card. Open Java from your programs menu. Tap menu/install/local files. Opera mini 5 beta should appear in the window. Highlight it and tap launch. Enjoy!
Im loving it too. Preferred browser of choice on every WM device of mine. But because higher res in TP, the font looks small even with the largest font setting turned on.
By far my best browser (first try).
Question. Can we get rid of these two questions at the beggining?

Sure can, just download the "signed" version of Opera Mini. In the download page, choose "other download" and pick "signed version" (or something like that). It will be downloaded like any other and after installed, ask about connection, at this part, choose "always".
can it be set as default browser?...

So I suppose this is all about beta version 5 I got. "Signed" version is still 4.2.
Thanks @u2pop.
Interesting comments, maybe Ill try it one more time. Just a month ago I felt it was offering nothing over mobile 9.5

I think all you can do is set the font to "large", in that way you can see the link more easily.
Can you minimize this and do something else, like respond to a text or make a phone call without it popping up 5 seconds after being minimized?
Unsigned version without double confirmation for data usage
Yes that's Opera 5 mini latest beta (solid BTW) not 4.2.
Just install the cab, works like a champ.
anyone notice that you cannot scroll through web pages using the d-pad? I am a diehard opera mini user and had to uninstall for that reason

Yea I noticed that too, hope its only for beta. You guys know how to save bookmark collection? On previous release theres option to save all of your bookmark online. Now i need to manually set.
