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?

Try This Album!!!!!!

curious if it is possiable to add this to htc album. a major part of album app that is missing from the wm2003 edition of album. can anybody figure a way to add this feature. also i have not been able to find a way to install the old album on a wm6 device...any help on either of these issues would be greatly appriciated. thanks!
UPDATE!-here it is i highly reccomend giving it a try ...trying to get an english translation though! just unzip and place in program files folder! ALL CREDIT TO TWEAKRADJE!!!!!
Update2-once you have album4wm5 installed overwrite with the album exe that i've posted make sure you do not install the camera exe as this will mess up your camera. this update will translate the album to english. now i will try and get some help with the delete/copy/paste issues not working. NOW YOU CAN BROWSE ANY PIC ON YOUR PHONE ZOOM IN AND SET AS TODAY BACKGROUND!!! ONCE AGAIN ALL CREDIT TO TWEAKRADJE!!!!!

The ability to set a background thru htc album doesn't seem to be in there. It's only for showing off what WM can do ... I don't think its supposed to be useful! haha.
My device still has "Pictures and Videos" on it... Doesn't yours? I'm using the TouchIT rom, but I don't know what is in or have been removed from the OpenTouch roms ....

yeah, I have pics and vids with the option i'm talking about....but both pics and vids AND htc album are missing important features that the old album from wm2003 had. pics and vids can't zoom and save as to the today screen. u r just stuck with your picture as is for the today screen. htc album can zoom any pic but you can't save to anywhere. u can use for a contact but still not in the zoomed form. this all sounds kinda picky on my part i'm sure but if u have ever used...or get the chance to use album wm2003 u will see how good a program it is. thanks for your response and keep an eye and ear out for any help on these programs. thanks again!!!!!!

Why don't you try and extract it from a WM2003 ROM? I'll see if I can do that some time this month... maybe.

I've only ever used WM5 and WM6 .. so I don't know what you're talking about haha. But I'm interested in finding out... maybe someone else can extract them since Ivan is going thru a computer crisis at the moment.

Just copy the CAB in that post over onto your phone via activesync ... then open the file explorer on your phone, find the cab and tap it to run the installation.

Don't install that cab because it overwrites the camera software as well...

yeah, i have installed many cabs since frequenting this site the past few months. the icon for the album program i want appears in my programs list but when i try to open it i get the red x of death. this program cannot be opened because it is not signed by a trusted blah blah... or one if it's components is missing blah blah...any help???

i want the album so bad i figured i would deal with that later. i have installed many cabs since frequenting this site the past few months. the icon for the album program i want appears in my programs list but when i try to open it i get the red x of death. this program cannot be opened because it is not signed by a trusted blah blah... or one if it's components is missing blah blah... the zip has the files seperately . i tried dropping it into the windows folder but that didn't do anything either. have you ever used this album program ivanmmj?

I haven't used it, but I'm interesting in looking through it... I think, (again) that the best solution will be to decompile the ROM and look for all the needed files.

yeah, umm... thats a little beyond me.

still have my magician with wm2003se
could you guys possibly tell me what to look for that would need to be extracted? i would probably need to install total commander to investigate the files closer than what i could with file explorer... um...right?? i'm trying to help myself guys haha! oh by the way after installing that cab my camera still worked. but, when i dropped the files from the zip into the windows folder manually it did quit working. i got the files out and all is well. i was just excited momentarily to see the icon for this beloved program of mine in my program list. thanks again try not to forget about me..

?? .jar files ?? for games??

i have been looking around for some good games on te wing and i found a site that has plenty. i downloaded a few of them, but they are all .jar or .jab files. i understand that these have something to do with java, but how do i get them to run?
any ideas?

Im Not Really Sure How To Do It But I Have An Idea
Wat Is The Website Called

.JAR and .JAD files install almost like a CAB file and to get to them you open up the JAVA application in your phone under Programs, usually shown with a big e and says Java

yea. what's the site? thankss

here's one that has an ass load of games, but i don't know if we can play them on the HTCp4350.
http://www.mobiles24.com/downloads/free-mobile-games
i'm gonna try KDKobes method. if anyone gets these to work, please let us know.
glad to see some interest in this one
IT WORKS!!!! ok, very simple to do actually. just pick a game that fits your screen (320X240)
KDKobes said it right. programs/esmertec jbed/menu/install/localfiles
the first time i did this i was asked to save to root. can someone please help me save these to a place on the SD card. i looked around and cant find the "root"

http://www.getjar.com/software/
Probably one of the biggest collections I know of.

www.mobile9.com
I used to get .jar's there when I had my P900 and Symbian. But they should work on the wing too, if the screen size is the same.

thanks... some games uses 1 3 7 9 and etc... so when i push my my wing i can't see half of the screen on the game... something that sucks about it.

Ah, another ex-symbian user. I used to be a S60 user, though. I had the Nokia 3650. That phone was weird... I still can't believe I used that keyboard... but it was actually pretty well designed. Ugly... but well designed.

I just put mine on a folder that i created on my sd. but after you install them i have no idea where they go, but java finds them. i actually asked for some help on finding the location and moving to sd card, but to no avail.
on another note, how is that open touch v5.3 working out? i cant wait til its released

so were you able to install the games? because i did the same thing you did and when its finds it, it takes me to this screen where it shows a root folder. upon doing so when i press install it says that the file root or something is not located. i'll provide some screenshots later on after work.
open touch v5.3 is working flawlessly for me. you should give it a try. it will take some time to get use to but it's just as fast as one of his lite or micro versions IMO.

yes i have installed games and i have been playing them. most of the games work, about 90%. make sure you are selecting from the 240X320. as far as the local root folder issue goes, just create a folder when prompted. i'll try to use the screen shot software and make a walk-thru for ya.

maybe this will help
i attached the screenshots. i couldn't figure out how to get them to show up nest to the text like other people do, but whatever. anyway take a look at them and feel free to ask any questions.
good luck
nevermind....i guess they show up like everyone elses. i'm a genius

Thanks
I will give this a try when I get home. one question, how were you able to place the jar/jad files in the folder that you have created?

In need of some guidence
I downloaded the Jad files onto my desktop computer and placed them in the storage card. Opera/Esmertec Jbed finds the files but it gives me the roots error message ..

The Jad is only the installer. The Jar is the actual game file itself. You need both.

thanks
thanks i got it to work, does anyone know where the bible thread is? i want to run 3D games on the wing but EsJ won't let me

3D games?
i'm glad to see you have it working. let me know if you find the 3D thing you are looking for and a game that you can use it for.

How to make IE default browser.

So after 40 minutes of wasting time (searching how to do it) I got nothing.
Anyone know how i can make Internet Explorer the default browser? I tried and couldnt find it.. An answer is all i am looking for.

This was originally named something else, but I renamed it so I could find it again. It's buried in a thread somewhere.
Anyway, this restores the registry settings for IE and has fixed IE getting hosed a few times. By Opera, or seemingly randomly. I've had to run this at least 3 times in the last 3 months.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.. you made my day :]

Thanks
Thanks works perfectly on my T-Mobile wing

This worked on my Fuze too. It is a big help.
Thanks,

There are cab extractors I'm sure that could be used on it, but otherwise I wouldn't have a clue, I just saved it from another thread. I couldn't find the thread, so I just attached the cab I'd saved.

Unzip it was WinRAR and have a look at the _setup.xml.
Or try a product like WinCE CAB Manager, or any other good cab creation software
Or just google, creating CAB files, there's lots of suggestions

Hi Just a question.
Can you uninstall the app once it has set IE back to the default? Will this leave IE as the default?

thanks
[thanks its working

thanks it is working

Sorry if this is a newb question. It's working with email links, but how do I change the HTC touchflo settings to make IE the browser that is invoked from the touchflo menu at the bottom of the screen? I can't seen any touchflo settings besides the thing about sounds when finger scrolling, etc.

This worked on my HTC Touch Pro and my HTC Touch Pro II ...Opera just isn't ready to be the default browser. Too much overhead, its just too slow (even on the Touch Pro II) and I just cant count on it for viewing web pages consistantly like I can with IE. One day I will be able to watch a YouTube video on my Windows Mobile phone ...still waiting for that day. The Droid certainly is a fast bugger and can you tube but between the keyboard and the excessive power usage ...and quite honestly lack of application support ...I am sticking with Windows for now. This little fix made my life much better. Thanks again.

TomTom 7.450.9028 - POI Warning Sounds

Hi All....
I've got this problem with TomTom.. it's not a huge issue, but it's kinda annoying... I've searched the forum and web, and haven't been able to find any postings on this "bug"?....
When I go to "Manage POI", I can set a warning sound (I use this for speed and redlight cameras) and it works... but whenever I exit and restart TomTom again, it resets back to the default warning sound.. ie, the first warning sound out of all the available selections..
Does anyone know if there's a fix?
I'm currently on TomTom 7.450.9028...
thanks!

have the same issue, i hope theres a solution

Try shortening the file names of the sound files. I had a similar problem with voice file names and that fixed it.
Let us know how you get on.

thanks steveianson... but the sound files aren't actually "custom" files.. they're the ones that come with the TomTom software itself.. there's a series of them and i'm only selecting from those... weeeird....

Because Jeroen........ Before I posted, I searched and searched and searched!
I actually did see that thread you're pointing me to... I even downloaded and tried the newer version of Tom Tom that's linked in the thread and I couldnt get it to work with my existing maps.
(to use that new version, I'd somehow need to reactivate maps to be able to use it?).
As far as I can see, the thread STARTS off talking about the same version of TomTom I use, but within a few posts, it's gone off topic and it is now about the newer version!
Hence, the reason I started a new thread...

I have had the same problem and it has nothing to do with the thread you pointed us to. Also, this problem has been around for a while (at least the last 2 or 3 versions of TomTom 7). I have looked everywhere but cannot find a fix for it. Using ogg files for the warnings is just too cumbersome.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks.
