Helmi v 1.4 beta and Ringtones problem

Hi all,
I've searched all over the threads and can't find an answer to this problem:
I can't select a ring tone other than the default one and media player doesn't start. If i choose a different ring tone it says it's corrupted...
This happened after a few days being turned off...
I have both patches applied and no 3rd party app installed... The ringtones are in \windows\rings.
This problem also appear at the same time that psShut Xp stops working - when i click the icon on the tray nothing appears...
This problem already appeared one time and i had to hard reset to resolve it, so if anyone has a solution other that this please tell me

there is post on this!!.
this being the 3rd one.
put tone in windows or ram disk.no folder needed just drop it in..
the search is not good.dose not matter what you type in search.
you end up with more or less the same..but not what your looking for.
edit below for KERIO
the programs are on here.why not try the search of something you know is there?.
as most ov what you said is dissing me is stead ov helping ppl
if what i said as upset you.SORRY
i find what am look for(take about 2days).but this is about helping the 1st post user.
i know ive not been around comp a long time..my 1st being p166 brand new from shop cost £1800.thats why my post is low.i look read learn.
and for going to google i did and found this site:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com

Not all the people are "whatever" like you.
Search is working well, but you need to know what are u looking for: OR USE GOOGLE with site:xda-developers.com

Let me rephrase myself.
I get a message about the ringtone beeing corrupted, and media player doesn't work and neither doest psshutxp.
I also said that it works fine after a hard reset but doesn't work after a while, and no 3rd party apps were installed...
Thanks

Same problem
I have the same problem with corrupted ringtones and WM Player. How do I fix this-all I get with an incoming call is a vibration.

Ringtones corrupted
Got the ****, noi Window Media player and WMA Ringtones corrupted, but then open them in explorer everything ok, found on the web about registry Rings key and Directory name dissapearing, but i checked mine and everything in the place. Also some people clkaim that it's Profiles software bug, So any ideas what is a problem?

Fixed
Fixed by re-flashing the phone with Baniaczek's ROM. If only it would now sync, and use TOMTOM....

Wing help needed, please help

I just recently upgraded to the wing. So far...........it's had it's ups and downs with me. As with any phone, there are somethings I like, and other's I don't.
I wanted to ask a few of you a couple of questions. Before asking, I know others have asked some of these questions on here already, but I wanted to ask them from a n00b's pov. I haven't modded squat with this phone yet and don't really know much about it to be honest. I did successfully mod the living daylights outta my V3r, so.........I know how to follow directions lol. But as far as being directed to a website to download.............won't exactly work lol. Anywho, here are my questions:
1) How do I increase program memory?
2) I had a video file on my phone that played smoothly. I had some issues with the wing (long story), but long story short, I had to do a hard reset. I've only had it like 5 days (TMo 3rd level tech support told me to reset). Ever since that reset (and having to reput that exact same video with no changes made), the video now plays choppy on the phone. Any idea why?
3) Are there any programs that I can remove without damaging any of the system files?
4) For the life of me, I never have understood why phones come prestocked with those goffy photos, gifs, and other garbage. Is there a way to remove these?
5) Is there a way to increase the size of contact pictures when they call?
6) I was also reading that there's supposed to be some kind of "update". What will it do and does anyone know when it's coming out?
I appologize for asking some questions that have already been asked, but I really need someone to walk me through "step by step", especially considering how much this phone costs. I DEFINITLY don't wanna mess it up. If someone, ANYONE, can help, I'd be greatly appreciative.
Oh yeah, one more question. Any tips and/or tricks that the phone does that the manual doesn't tell you?

1.) At the moment keep it clean, there was a thread on here a while ago where someone (moneytoo?) was tweeking his to run better but I dont remember what the last update was. Keep the memory clean and you can run things until we get more updates or a cooked fix.
2.)Not sure what would cause the vid file to be choppy unless you are running too many things at the same time, whats the specs on the vid, and what player are you using to watch it? If its the built in WMP then thats most likely your issue.
3.)Yeah, depends on what you want to remove?
4.)Yes, open the pictures & Videos, right soft key number 4 delete.
5.)Not that I know of, but I would bet you can go into the phones system files and pull the incoming c all display file and tweek it to be larger. Mine is something around half screen by default I think, never paid attention to it really...
6.)I heard that it was late March to April(most likely late April) but that could change.
Theres a lot that the manual does not tell you, you can go into the regestry to change your start menu look, you can open the home page XML file and redesign it for your personal tasts(IE on the nice HTC home screen you can have a start menu and other stuff) Just depends on what type of things you want to do with it.
This is my first smartphone and I am still learning, there are a lot more inteligent people on here than I and I am sure they will chime in with their tweaks and stuff, or correct my mistakes if I had some. I was pretty wary at first since it was such a different platform to me, but after about a month I got to know it and since I know computers so well did not mind playing in the registry and so forth. Just back up your ROM before you tweek in case you do toast something.
Enjoy the phone and welcome

Thanks for your answers, they're greatly appreciated.
2) It's the built in wmp. How do I remove it and what do I replace it with? Furthermore, what do I need to install new software?
3)I'd like to remove stuff I don't use. I'm talking about where you go to remove programs. I've got Microsoft Live Search, T-Mobile Email Wizard 1.0 (don't even use my phone for emails), OZ communications OZ IM (not sure what that is), and Winwap Technologies Oy t-zones (not sure what that is or does either).
4) All those pics are saying that they're .sys files, and I don't wanna mess up the phone by deleting them (will it?).
New question, how do I back up my ROM?

No problem
I never removed my built in WMP just in case and its taking up no space, but I use two players at the moment, TCMP (I think I have an older version since it wont support quad pixel mpeg4 for some reason, but its the only version I can find) and Core Player. Both will play just about everything out there. TCMP works best (that I have found) on our phones because you can tell it to play at medium quality a full size file so you dont have to convert your media (most of the time) and it wont lag. Core Player was good, but seems to lag every now and then (most likely from the lack of proper video codec on the s730) but since it will play FLAC audio I kept it installed.
You can do it from the phone itself, go into your start menu, settings, more, top option remove programs, this usually will just be for what you have installed. Optionally you can connect it to your computer and explore through active sync and remove the data, icons and folders for what you dont want. I personally am not sure how one goes in and removes the preinstalled software for sure.
The pictures with a .sys sound like they are for icons, your menu's and other images that you might want to keep. The junk pictures that are pre loaded should be in .jpg, .bmp, doubt it but .png extensions.
I have not backed mine up yet but theres a tutorial in what you need and what you need to do stickied at the top of this forum, flash sspl and hardspl, I dont remember for certain but I think somewhere in there is the way to back up your settings, dont quote me on that though...

ExactCallLog v1.4 is Horriable, v1.3 is the Way!!!

Hey everybody whatz going,
ExactCallLog is a very good app or USED to be a good app. It was
Essentially a must have for the G1 cuz it completely gets rid of the
2 hours ago, 6 Hours ago crap on the orginal G1 callLog.
Anyway the Version 1.3 or more specificly v1.37....was the last update
Before the new one. It was fully working & stable. I wish I backed it up
On my SD Card using ASTRO file manager. Now its lost & I can't get it back.
The New v1.4 Update almost crashed my phone. I need the v1.3 or v1.37 Version
badly if anybody has the old version & hasent yet upgraded to the new version.
Please please please send me the ExactCallLog v1.3 or v1.37 .apk File & ill post it here
On the Forum for everybody to have. I have spoke wit the developer & he said
That the problems don't exist on his phone. So the new UI is here to stay & it
Really really sucks. V1.3's UI was ten times better.
If u don't know how to get the .apk. All u have to do is Download the File Manager
App Called "ASTRO". In the ASTRO app. They have a "Application Manager".
The "Application Manager" allows you to install or Uninstall any app but most
Importantly, it allows you to backUp whateva program u want on the SD Card as
a .apk File. That u can install wheneva u want.
Use "ASTRO" to back up the "ExactCallLog v1.37.apk" File & email it to me at:
[email protected] & ill post it up on he forum for everybody to have.
through a RapidShare link or something like that.
Thanks Again, In advance.
I hope this post will help a lot of people who have the Exact same problem
In the future.

I just wanted to say that the v1.37 is better cause the UI was perfect &
Was completely free of all bugs & was quick with no lag time.
Ill take either but v1.37 was better than v1.3
OUT!!

I know what you mean, I completely uninstalled it after 1.4 was out. It was lagging like crazy and slowing my phone. Unfortunately I don't have older versions.
-Gus

heres version 1.3.4 the apk is IN the zip hope it works for you guys

Yeah I know all of my friend who was using the New Version
Of ExactCallLog have completely uninstalled it. The developer
Just thinks its Lagging. He dosent realize that its not just slow
There's a TON of other problems wit it. He dosent experience the
Crashes on his phone. So he can't Bug Test meaning we won't get
No update soon....until he feels he wants to add something extra
Hopefully he'll read all the comments & make an update soon but he
hasnt said that he would on the email he sent me.

I Appreaciate that alot "haitiankid4lyf"
Hey this is perfect!! This is Exactly what I needed. This ExactCallLog Version 1.3.4 is perfect in everyway. I hope everyone who wants it comes to this Forum to get it. Cuz this is Really a must have app on the G1. Im soory thatthe developers like the NEW UI but for everyone who loves the Old UIwith absolutly NO BUGZ here it is.
I won't post the "ZIP" again since u already have the Zipped .APK File in the Forum post above me.
This will be used until the death of the G1 unless the CUPCAKE Update really really improves the Default Factory CALLLOG.
In the Factory Call Log. U Cant do nothing!!
*U CANT:
-Erase 1 call entry without erasing the whole List
-Veiw only the "missed calls"or "Outgoing Calls" or "Incoming Calls"
-See the exact time that people called (Only See 3, 4, 6 "Hours Ago")
-See the Day, Month or Year of old calls from 5 days ago
(ExactCallLog shows Exact Time, Day, Month, & Year Of Call)
PLUS: ExactCallLog Version 1.3.4 has a Very Very Amazing feature that allows you to erase all missed, outgoing or incoming calls that come from the same person.
Example:
Long Press on a "Missed" call (Ex: "JOHN (301) 589-3704") in ExactCallLog. When the Options MENU comes up scroll all the way down to the "REMOVE ALL INSTANCES" option & select it. It will erase all Numbers that have the Name JOHN (301) 589-3704. Very Cool. But it will only erase the missed calls from JOHN not the incomming or outgoing. unless u slect JOHN's incoming or outgoing calls specific. It can erase all incoming from John at once or all outgoing from JOHN at once.
Everyone who dosent have it Or lost it like me when they upgraded to Version 1.4
can enjoy this v1.3.4 ExactCallLog App.
Thanks Again haitiankid4lyf". This App shouldve been included wit the G1.
OUT!

But it has a problemd with the notification, when I have a missed call, the notification wont go away unless I view it in the stock call log, annoying!
-Gus

u just hit the "CLEAR NOTIFICATIONS" button on the top right corner. and avoid visit's the stock G1 CallLog. Period.
I never ever use the G1's calllog now

Yes thats true, but if you later receive another missed call, the notification will tell you that you have 2 missed calls, so it will forever keep adding up until you visit the damn thing. He should fix this in version 1.37 though, right?

Customizing your Dialer

I wasn't sure where a good place to post this would be and haven't found a thread in the Raphael or Diamond forum on this topic so hopefully I don't get flamed for starting a new thread. I asked 4 days ago in "Let's see your ATT Fuze Screens" thread on how to edit my dialer skin to make the number keys transparent so I can view my wallpaper behind it so it flows with my theme (this was after a screenshot from someone with a dialer I want and have not been able to find). I did not get back a response. Maybe I posted in the wrong thread. I am a noob, but I am trying to learn how to do things for myself. I have read the wiki and countless threads (yes sometimes the entire 200 pages), used search function within threads, within the specific forums and within the entire xda site. Alot of results come up and none are helpful. Maybe I am not using the right search terms. In any case, I've tried to find a dialer I like, but to no avail, so I would like to try and create my own. Yes, I would like to just be able to install a cab and be done, but I am willing to try and figure it out on my own with some guidance. If someone could please point me in the right direction to do this (maybe the files I have to edit and I can try and figure out how to do that myself from other threads) I would be very greatful. I would like to have a transparent key pad on the phone screen and the screen when receiving a call and be able to place my own wallpaper behind it (Need landscape as well since I have the Fuze). I think this is something others would want as well to keep there personalized themes consistent. If this thread is redundent, please point me to the existing thread.
Thank you.

Since nobody else is replying, I will at leas share what I know. Using your phone's file explorer, navigate to the device's "windows" folder and look for the two dialer .bmp files named "Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp" and "Assets_Dialer_Pressed.bmp". Those are the two files that you need to edit or replace to get the dialer to your liking. Note: there are also other files named similarly "_Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp" etc. so don' mistake the files with the underscore at the beginning of the file name. I hope this points you in the right direction. Be advised that the biggest obstacle will be finding a way to overwrite those protected files. Good luck

IM ACTUALY IN THE PROCESS OF CUSTOMIZING MY DIALER..
IM SKINNING 'UGGALO_x WHITE S2A CDMA'

customizing the dialer is no problem. the same as skinning any of the rest of the display, to get around permissions issues just use Total Commander CE to overwrite the existing file.
transparency is a problem as the dialer pad is comprised of bmp files and as such there is no transparency like you would find with gif or png (unless someone has found a transparency color and i've just missed it).
it may be possible to use your current background image as the background of the bitmap to overlay the buttons onto, thus giving the appearance of transparency. this of course comes with the downside that if you decide to change your background you would have to change your phone screen to one that matched. in addition it would not be just the files mentioned by tx_dbs_tx that you would need to modify in this scenario as the dialer only takes up the lower... oh, 3/5ths of the screen? you would also need to modify the "Calls and Contacts" / "All Calls" / "Speed Dial" fields and the field where the number you are dialing is displayed. i am not presently aware if this has even been attempted yet.
personally, i have only attempted a color change to the dialer to date, but have been successful with that. if somehow nobody else responds before i can check on the unknowns above, i will come back and let you know what i find.

Thanks
Thanks to everyone who replied. I will try and see if I can mess around with these files. I found a dialer to use for now. See thread below. I need to figure out what files are for the slide to answer screen in portrait and landscape and the dialing screen (the screen when you make a phone call). I think that is all of the screens associated with the phone. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hey, do u guys have the anserws to theese questions?
1. I want to choose for how long the green lamp, which indicates "new message/sms", shall blink. Now the option is "grey" and it's set to 5minutes. But you can't change the time. What should I do to set the time?
2. I've tried all the pre-installed keyboards that comes with the phone. But I'm not really happy with it. One must, is that it should contain the charachters "åäö" (a swedish keyboard).
3. Can I set the vibrator to a personal setting? Like now, if I get a sms/message, my phone only vibrate once. Which is really hard to notice, when I got it in my pocket. So can I somehow make it vibrate more?
4. And how do I get my "sms-wordlist" to work?! Everytime I add a diffrent word in my "sms-wordlist" it disappear a time later. Which is really enoying. How do I fix it?
Thx for answering!
C

Regarding a keyboard with Swedish layout, try FingerKeyboard
I use it with Danish layout but you can also have it with eg. Swedish layout.

nobody else? Plz, I need thoose answers!
otherwise I'm thinking of buying a new phone, because the sms-function is at my greatest use..

There have been posts elsewhere on the Forum on all the issues you raise - for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606212.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a thread very recently about changing the vibration settings - if I did a search, I'm sure I could find it in a couple of minutes. Someone's responded to your question about keyboards - and, on adding words to T9's dictionary, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557320&highlight=T9+words+adding might help.
Usually, for most of the niggling issues, there is either a simple setting change (which may involve adding/changing registry keys) or CABs that can be downloaded and tried. Take a look - there's a wealth of material here waiting to be searched!

thx so much i've tried to search on xda, but I kinda failed ^^
I'll try the links and come back with some respons

Right now, I've fixed the led-lamp, t9-wordlist and fingerboard. But I've tried to search xda for how to do your own custom vibration when receiving sms, and I've just found one... (can't post url:s yet) here is the topic "Vibration pattern for Incoming Calls, SMS and EMail "
but the "program" is pritty old and the developer doesn't write how to uninstall it if something goes wrong. So can you try to find something else, that might be better?
Edit:
Then I've found the names "SMS POPUP" and "DGAlert" but none of them is available for install/dwl at xda...
