hey everyone, i'm kinda new here, been reading stuff for a while but now that i got a tytn 2 (kaiser wm6.1 rom) and started mucking around with installing new programs i think i broke something
the built in wm6.1 rom that my device came with also has htc home v2.1 builtin
i manually installed htc home customizer 1.0, also tried uninstall/reinstall/reset
not sure what caused it, but now the htc home today screen section is completely blank. it takes up space but shows nothing. resetting themes, settings, soft reset, etc did not work.
i tried twice to download and install htc home 2.1 from an online download. installed on device and also on sd card, but each time i did it the device would go into an endless rebooting loop. it would reset, load up to the today screen, reset, etc etc.
so as far as uninstalling the rom htc home version, i dont think i can do it. plus the rom version seems to have a higher build number then the 2.1 version i see floating around the net.
fyi, i did have htc home and htc customizer working at some point. i used the default htcc themes. but at some point, after a software reset, poof it no longer shows
any suggestions on how to fix this?
HTC Home on WM6.1
My problem is not exactly the same as yours, but I think we're dealing with the same stuff in software and ROM.
My Tilt came from AT&T with only WM6. I had to upgrade it myself to 6.1. When I did, HTC Home came built-in, just like for you. I also downloaded HTC home customizer and installed it...at that point, everything worked fine. The problems started when I was trying to get the music tab to show up on HTC Home. So anyways, even though I already had the built-in Home, I tried to install it again from the cab file HTC Home 2.1. The installation finished, and it told me it had to restart. It did, but then went broke...like yours, my Tilt went into endless rebooting cycles.
However, I have a REALLY serious problem. Mine still won't turn on correctly. So can you tell me how to get rid of HTC Home 2.1, or whatever I need to do, so that my device will run properly again?
I think the solution for you may be to reinstall windows mobile 6.1 from a file online. (You could probably use the same one I did, except I just have to find it again...)
But at this point, I can't even do that, because my phone doesn't even get to the today screen where I can click on stuff. Activesync doesn't work either. HELP?
hard reset
i had to do a hard reset to fix the issue with the rebooting cycle.
right now i'm working on using the manila 2d today screen interface. it looks nice, works good but makes it impossible to add other plugins to the today screen.
i was using the mToday tool to switch between manila and htc home today screens but since htc home is now being a ***** i'm gonna see what i can do with manila to make it better for me.
also using pointui, flash touch flo cube and freestyl.
but if anyone has a quick fix for this htc home issue please post me somethin. i know there are better today screens out there, but simplisity is nice sometimes.

Hi folks
Last night my HTC TyTN II ran out of power. When I had recharged it and started the device up again, I had lost the HTC Homescreen plugin. I've been unsuccessfull in getting it back, even after rebooting the device. The plugin is no longer listed under the Today settings screen either
Has anyone else experienced this and most importantly how can I get this back?
Thanks for your interest

you may try the usual paths: hard-reset, and if not, install the cab again. it is floating around, you should find it.
did you try any of these?
I would only do a hard reset as a last result, and if then, maybe even just go for a different ROM.
Do you know where to find this .cab file? I found something in these forums but it seems to be related to the Hermes phones
Thanks again
Wohoo!! I finally got it back

Hey guys...I just installed a couple of apps and now I have a screen flicker. When my Tilt is asleep, every 3-4 minutes the screen flashes for a split second and the screen goes back to black. I recently installed these apps:
SPB Mobile Shell 2.0
CommMgrPro 1.3.3
Zomobi
HTC Gif Animation (I think this is the one but I deleted it and it still flashes)
HTC Action Screen
Pocket Wifi Radar
Has anyone installed any one of these apps and had the same flashing screen issue?? I removed them one by one and I still have the flicker.
Anyone good with the registry and could help me figure this out would be great!!
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
Hi
Mine does the same and the only one of those apps I've got installed is HTC ActionScreen. Maybe try removing that and see if it solves it?
Let me know how you get on.
Greg
Have the same issue. Anyone knows why ? I thought I'm seeing things...
Thanks.
Very interesting! Mine has been doing it as well since I downloaded and installed the 6.1 Windows Mobile update, although never did before.
Thanks for any suggestions or input that anyone can provide.
Anyone find out how to fix this?
Is that a known problem for many Kaisers?
if not then upgrading the ROM would be the answer to getting rid of this problem right?
BTW I have no special programs installed, other than commander.
I don't have HTC Home Customizer installed.
This is from a fresh ROM update to 6.1.
The flickering issue has been resolved on my Tilt
Hello All, I tried to just remove the get ATT Navigation from the main menu and sure enough my flickering screen went away. The issue was obviously just a repeat of the same issue that used to occur with the "Get TelNav" option showing in the old 6.0 ROM's from ATT. Thanks!
thanks for replying, however I don't even have that application on my device.
I did install 6.1 without bloatware though.
Hi, I'm just turning on my 8925 for the first time and before setting it up I want to remove all the trial stuff. I set up, soft reset when the "3 seconds customization" comes up, but when the device turns back on, it takes me back to set up again (screen align, password, etc.) I've done this before with another Kaiser and I know it works, but this one keeps recycling the whole process. I've gone through the clear storage, set up, soft reset several times already and it's the same each and every time. What am I doing wrong?
I would keep resetting and if it still continues trying to install the bloatware, dump the rom and go with some of the other great ones. L26 Kaiser Diamond Rom V12 has been good for me lately, Schaps has some good ones ot there too. Those roms will better utalize the hardware on your kaiser. Hope this helps...
I'm so fed up with this. I going to stop now since I think too many resets will screw with the device. I'm starting to wonder if this is the same as the last Kaiser I had. For once there's a new green "window mobile 6.1" screen right after the AT&T logo at start up, which my other tilt didnt have. The screen says to wait while it's clearing storage everytime I do a hard reset, then take me to set up again, then back to the 3 seconds of bloated wares. Rinse and repeate. Another difference is that this one came with HTC Home today home screen the one with the big digital clock and tabs.
Could it be this is a used phone and the previous user loaded it with a different ROM?
You need to soft reset BEFORE the 3 second notice comes up...if the box pops up, you're too late and need to wait to get to the today screen once again. Remember...BEFORE...either way, there are many really nice ROMs out there...
Ah hah! Voila, you are THE man! Thank you thank you! <3
Still strange that this one came preloaded with HTC Home plug-in, though. But Im happy either way
My sister got a Tilt today and had the same issue (I tried to guide her over the phone to ditch the bloatware - she won't be flashing ROMs anytime soon...)
Hers contains the HTC Home plugin as well.
They've apparently updated the shipping ROM...
Glad to hear that it works fine before the 3 second box.
You'll be able to remap the PTT button right out of the box also. Good stuff.
Im just hoping this one doesnt have battery problem like the one I got before. I kept it as long as I could, even got an extra power battery for it (since the stock one drained after maybe 6 hours), until the damn thing heat up so bad while being charged that it almost burn my hand...
Been charging this one for a few hours and no heat problem yet!
/fingers crossed
You should really try a Manilla ROM--they are easy on the eyes, very nice interface...look up NATF or the AthineOS Manilla ROM. Both guys did a fantastic job on those...

There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they are the easiest to answer...
I've had my Sprint Touch Diamond pretty much as soon as they came out so in a couple of months it will be 1 year old. I've never really had that many issues until now.....
In the past month I have had to reset (ie return phone back to how it was when originally delivered) my phone 4 times !! And in every instance it's been because Touch Flo refuses to load.....
At first I thought it was because I was installing loads of [email protected] little applications etc, but I think it might be down to Microsoft my phone beta...... Although the program has helped me retrieve pretty much everything I needed to retrieve after each reset, it doesn't take long before it fails to sync and everything seems to go bad again.
Last night I tried un-installing the myphone beta app, and due to how slow everything runs when touch flo refuses to load I had to leave it over night...... By the time i got up in the morning it was un-installed and Touch Flo was running....
I re-booted my phone mid-morning today, and although Touch flo took around 5mins to load it did at least load, albeit with the following message...
cannot load \windows\myphoneruntime.exe which suggests it didn't fully install properly..... Anyway I decided to install a registry editor and see if i could find any rogue entries but I couldn't use the reg editor like i would on Windows XP for instance and so drew a blank.
To try and un-install my phone beta properly, I re-installed it and synced which went without a hitch. Then I rebooted my phone and again Touch Flo does not run.... So I'm almost certain something in this My Phone beta is a problem which is probably why its still in beta....
Just wondered if anyone else had similar problems / Issue's? And also if anyone can give me advice regarding the reg editor......
Thanks in advance....
Never had that problem with the TouchFlo 3D. although it does seem to be a bit slow at times. Have you tried just...blowing your phone, and reloading the stock sprint ROM? maybe just starting over fresh?
Re-instating the stock Sprint ROM is what I've had to do 4 times this month. Not 100% sure why I keep getting the issue back, but it does seem to be Microsft myphone Beta that is a constant link. Maybe I need to reset device 1 last time and manually re-instate contacts etc etc etc
It’s a simple calendar plugin that adds a tab to the TouchFlo 3D interface.
This is not a Cab Installation , so you will have to use transfer the files to your device via Active Sync / Mobile Device Center or using a File Explorer.

now load touch flo
same problem
I had a similar experience a few days ago. It seems I tried to sync via My Phone beta and then canceled it midway. After a few soft resets and wondering what was going on, I let My Phone sync again completely. After that everything was back up to speed but I uninstalled the beta ASAP. I was pretty happy with it but this is aggravating.
Same problem here!
In addition to this, The antenna shows no service (although service is active and I can make calls) and the phone's GUI is very slow to react to any action.
I have an old Juicy ROM (from last Fall) which I liked very much for its stability. I did install and run the beta application of geocaching.com for windows mobile and now TouchFlo won't start anymore no matter what I do to restart my phone.
I will have to back up everything and reinstall a new ROM hoping that this will fix the problem.
If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, let us know
[update]
The phone could not connect to ActiveSync and thus I was unable to flash a new ROM.
In order to resolve the issue, I cleared the storage (but left the internal storage intact) and rebooted. The phone was just fine after this, but I took the opportunity to install the latest Mighty ROM.
cheers.
Having the same problem with mine.... I had the original Sprint ROM on it when it started happening.
I initially tried a clear/erase everything from the OS (hard reset?) and that didn't help.
I tried updating it with the latest official ROM from Sprint/HTC. No dice.
Funny thing is if I wait like 12+ hours after turning it on, sometimes Touch Flo finally loads.
Other issues ive noticed while its acting like this is, opera crashes on load, active sync connects but wont sync contacts, and the battery life seems about half of what it normally is.
Short of the story is I am having Sprint send me a replacement.
I had the same problem and solved it by flashing mightyrom couldn't connect to activesync either so i had to hold power down volume and reset switch and do the flash from that coloured screen. i think it has something to do with a memory flaw and wipeing everything out solves it.

I had a problem with touch flow not loading, it didn't start up wich caused my phone to refuse to do anything else, after a couple of minutes my screen went black(backlight shut off and phone went into standby) and i could only use soft reset to turn it on again.
I never got around solving it untill i just turned off touch flow in the today screen, installed spb shell 3.0 and now i never have any problems.
So other then tunring off touch flow i don't know what you could do.
I've had to reset my device..... I've failed in all attempts to try and correct it... So after resetting and NOT using Microsoft My Phone Beta to restore all my contacts, photo's, text's etc we'll see how long it lasts this time.
