Hi all
I installed the HTC Home plug Based on the Kaiser one. With the Weather Patch
But now I have a strange problem. In the Weather Tab it says (null) instead of High or Low.
Same go's for the Ringtone.
Well the problem is: When I reload the Plug it works. But when I reboot my device it show op (Null) again until I reload the Plugin.
Does anyone know this problem???
Thanks in advance.
Same problem, haven't found a real fix yet but I got a workaround you can try.
After every reset of the device follow these steps.
- Disable HTC Home from the today screen.
- Open HTC Home Customizer
- Change some minor detail (usually selected weather city for me)
- Save
- Go back to today screen and HTC home is there with all language files working magically.
It's a bit of a pain in the ass but I haven't found a better solution just yet. Hopefully someone else can answer this for us but in the meantime you can use my cheap method to make it look right.
You have to rename:
windows\HTCHome.dll.0409.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.0409.mui
windows\HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml
to your locale variable (if your rom isn't wwe), in my case it's spanish (0C0A):
windows\HTCHome.dll.0C0A.mui
windows\HTC_HDlg.exe.0C0A.mui
windows\HH_0C0A_WeatherCities.xml
It worked for me.
There's another way to do it, harder but way better, i usually do this with my own cabs because after a hard reset i don't like having to change everything again. Steps:
1- Decompress the cab with winrar
2- Edit the file "setup.xml" and correct things you want to change about installation setup: name of files to install (like in this case), name of registry variables to write (like in 10-button commanager for wing), etc
3- Find and download "Cabpack 1.4", be sure to use the following options for it to work: "compression type = mszip", "Create cabinets for = 16 bit extractor"
4- Use it for re-compressing your modified cab and install.
5- Voilá... great pre-modified cabs that you can keep for the next hard-reset.
Hope you like it. Regards

I am trying to put together this one super thread of applications that we like and dislike , the problems and advantages of them.

PURESKILLZZZ thanks for the reply.
its just the first post leads me to an open touch release and the part thats relevant isnt very clear(about mms setup).as far as deleting arcsoft from the registry gos.
the second is very helpful but the fact that im uncomfortable deleting registry values that aren't specicific cancels it out.
any help and the diligent yet apprehensive reader of this great forum that gets made fun of by his wife for staring at the screen to read so much usefull info would be greatly appreciated!

The MMS walk through for non-working MMS. ( Originally by ndiguy5 )
1.) Remove MMS from the registry.
2.) Registry: HKLM\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA
3.) Now install Arcsoft_MMS_4281 to install MMS back to phone.
4.) Install network wizard, if you have it already installed skip this and goto the next step.
5.) Now use the network wizard to set up your settings.
6.) It should ask you to soft-reset.
7.) Now you should have a working MMS. If any problems post and I will try to assist you.

You can just normally post. I saved many spots in the beginning of this thread so it wont be a big mess.
Also as it grows I will always put the post numbers next to a particular application or fix so when people read they can get all info from the first page so you don't have to read the whole thread to solve an already solved problem or read about an application.
Cooking your Splash Screen
Once again many thanks to all who helped me papamopps who is a great teacher and will have you laughing as he teaches. I am sure all his students love him for his humor. And it was his idea for me to start this whole thread here. zcink who always quietly finds his solution and will always share. Dutty for his wonderful nbhtool as his work is legendary already. Dark Simpson for his htc rom tool. And all the others who helped me learn and the noobs who got me searching for answers.
And last but surely not least ivanmmj Who started this thread and brought this to our attention. Also ttran001 who wrote the original how to, all I am doing is making it easier for people to use and supplying all the files.
"DOWNLOAD"
I have included a folder named "PURESKILLZZZ Splash Screen" for you to test before doing anything at all. This folder is my splash screen that I created and tested on a t-mobile wing. I have also included my image file that I used in-case you just want to go through the process before you create your won.
1.) Download all files needed. ( I made 1 download for everything. )
2.) get the picture you want to use for your splash screen.
3.) Copy the image you would like to use into the image folder.
4.) Open up the Step 1 folder and run the Replace SplashScreen.exe file.
5.) Click on Load Bitmap from the newly opened menu (Replace Artemis SPlashScreen.
6.) Click on the Update Splash button.
7.) The PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 menu will pop up. Leave it alone.
8.) Go back to the image folder for step 1 and locate the RUU_signed.nbh file.
9.) Copy the RUU_singed.nbh and place it into the RUU_signed folder.
10.) Go back and close out both PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.0.3.1 and Replace Artemis SplashScreen.
11.) Now go to the step 2 folder and double click on the nbhtool.exe.
12.) This will open up Dutty's good NBH tool v1.1.
13.) Click on the Decompile NBH file button.
14.) Browse back to the RUU_singed folder and locate the new RUU_signed.nbh file.
15.) Choose the same location or the one of your choosing to save the extract files.
16.) Once completed it will extract a new file called PrimarySplash.nb, this is your new Splash replacement file.
17.) OK now goto folder step 3.
18.) Open htcrt.exe file ( this is the HTC_ROM_Tool. )
19.) The htc rom tool screen will popup.
20.) Click on the Build! button.
21.) On this screen click on the box under the Device: to select your device type.
22.) Choose Herald

24.) Click on the box Splash 1 to choose your PrimarySplash.nb file
25.) Click on the Build ROM botton.
26.) The save to screen will open
27.) Save "ruu_signed" in the folder "step 4"

My Setttings -> Device Information -> shows ROM version as 4.17.405.2 WWE
what should I be entering?
Previously, when my device was a boxed-product it used to display the IPL, SPL on booting up, but after upgrading using the help found here, it only shows me the htc screen and I can only check the IPL/SPL if I go to the boot loader mode. The htcrom tool shows some options on the right side. Would entering the values there provide the values for IPL/SPL on booting?
How do I select the PrimarySplash.nb file? There is no selection box available. N checkin again, I see that nothing can be edited in the boxes on the right.
EDIT: Didn't realize that those were buttons next to the text boxes, so the 3rd question is answered. The first 2 remain...

The screen worked. I now have a startup screen of Optimus Prime . The IPL/SPL however was also asking for nb files, dosen't allow to enter the values directly, so I havent tried that out. If you have an idea, do let me know.

Hello! I appreciate very much what this comunity does for all of the pocket pc owners out there. That being said, could someone please post a how-to on upgradin Opera 9.5 without upgrading the firmware, please? I've searched the forum but people seem not to want to answer to this question. Maybe it's an idiotic question.. When i try to upgrade mine it says that it cannot remive the previous version, and when i press yes on wanting to continue at the end it says installation not successful! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hmm... Doesn't anyone know this? 75 people read this and no one? I find this very strange. I hoped that other people were having this question. Thank you!
If you just want to upgrade, uninstall the old version if you are able and install the latest cab or find an upgrade version. If you can't uninstall, just install the new version overtop of the old. If you install over top make sure you are launching the proper executable. You can check your version by going to help, about Opera, and look for your build version at the top.That's it!
Next time try doing a little more reading, the answer is out there!!!!!
To Upgrade the Stock Version of Opera on a Diamond
Hi. It's unusual that somebody hasn't posted these complete steps before. So here we go:
To upgrade the stock version of Opera on a Diamond without flashing a new ROM
1. Go to the Opera thread here. Don't bother trying to install the official (non-Diamond) beta of Opera as it's more trouble than it's worth. Use the official Diamond Opera betas in the link here. You also should not try to uninstall the Opera version you already have on your Diamond
2. Download the Diamond Opera version that you would like. Choose the Upgrade zip package, not the Full Install package
3. Open the downloaded zip file and extract the three files (Opera9.exe, OperaL.exe, OperaPreL.exe)
4. Transfer these to a folder on your Diamond. eg "New Build"
5. Make a backup of the original Opera9.exe, OperaL.exe and OperaPreL.exe that is in the Windows folder of your Diamond. This is in the event that the new Opera build doesn't work as expected and you want to go back to the previous version
6. Use Resco File Explorer or similar to copy and paste the three files from the "New Build" folder to the Windows folder on your device. This will overwrite the old Opera files with the new ones. You can't use the standard WM6 File Explorer to do this as it won't let you overwrite the old files
7. Reset
8. The new build of Opera is now installed. Before you do anything else, return to the Windows folder on your Diamond and locate the "ghost images" of the older Opera build that are left behind (these have filenames along the lines of Opera9.exe.$7 and OperaL.exe.$22 or similar; make sure you don't try to delete the newer Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe files!) Deleting these unnecessary "ghost images" will free up lots of space.
For the record, I'm currently using build 1938 of Opera (extracted from a newer Diamond ROM). I don't recommend using the newest 2128 build as it comes with lots of issues such as excessive boot time, problems loading TouchFlo 3D favourites, etc. I think this new build is only designed to work alongside a newer version of TouchFlo 3d. The 1938 build works great for me though. Very quick, no issues. Still waiting for them to improve the Favourites list in Opera itself; it's a shambles.
Hope that helps
Dave
thank you
Now this is what a call a very good walktrough! Thank you for your help! I installed the version you sugested and it works perfectly! I guess it's quite easy when you know what to do.
+1 Thank you for this clear explanation.
Ciao
Fred
Thanks for the brilliant guide, I tried a cab upgrade earlier and killed opera completely (had to restore my sprite backup from the morning).
I'll give this a go
THANK you for the VERY clear and well written set of instructions on this, I just got my Diamond (US Unlocked Version) today, and you saved me a lot of headaches!
i upgraded to opera 9.5.2745
just run the .cab and it was done without any problems...
but the icons turn out really small after the install.. other than that, everything works great?
got my opera from this link (not sure if external links are allowed, pls remove if its not!)

You might have a QVGA version. This thread has links to both VGA and QVGA versions, but there is apparently a problem with the VGA version posted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442252
See post #115 of the thread, someone has helpfully posted instruction on how to get the QVGA version working in VGA. Simply replace the skin file and the loading image (png file) and edit your opera.ini file with new zoom settings.
Ok I have read this site several times and have flashed my phone numerous times and I can say there are some damn good ROM's located on this site..However there are flaws to each one and that is why i am writing this..I do appreciate all of the hard work that goes into these roms for if you guys didnt do them then we would be stuck with the same ol tired looking phones..
For those of you that are new to this please pay attention to the posts for i have learned the hard way..I would like to know how to fix some of the errors that are in these roms because like I said befor each one is different..so far the one that i have found to be the best for most users is OTP v7.5.1 TouchFlo 2D Professional...this Rom seems to have it all together except one thing..the call volume is low and the ringtone volume is also low..besides that this is your winner in my eyes for a power user..
If anyone out there knows how to fix these errors please let me know for I am staying with this ROM until I find a better one...thank you for your time and I will be donating to the rightful developer...

here is a posting that will give some info and hopefully answer alot of your current questions..
Default FAQ
FAQ Section:
Read everything in this section before downloading the roms and flashing.
If you don't understand it, read it again and again until you understand.
Once your done flashing your device double check back here again to configure your device.
I will not reply to any subjects already covered in this section.
I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just very busy with finishing up this project and also working on other projects.
Back up your phone before downloading and flashing this rom... I do not want anybody to loose their data due to flashing this rom, as the rom will erase all of your data...

Step 3. Download your NBH file and unZIP or unRAR it into that RUU folder. Make sure that that NBH file ends up in the RUU folder, not within a folder inside the RUU folder.
Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.
That's it. Welcome to the flasher's world.

M2DC
Just tried the M2DC theme manager on 7.3 Std, with a renamed .zip file to .m2dct file (specifically the KnobiSkin from the M2D skin thread).
First time, it locked up. M2DC continued with spinning icon until I forced a reboot. Touchflo was off after reboot, and after enabling it everything appeared to be the same.
Second attempt, I disabled Touchflo from today before applying the new theme. Got the "Applying Theme" prompt. After M2DC closed, I reactivated touchflow and new theme was applied.
Simple instruction for use of M2DC Themes on OTP 7.3:
Find a skin you like, download the zip file (not the cab),
Rename file to .m2dct,
Copy new file to the themes directory of the M2DC install directory,
Disable touchflo in Today settings
Start M2DC,
Go to themes tab (the first time it will back up the default theme),
Click the new theme then apply,
Restart touchflo.
Alternate for creating themes from skin CABs:
Run M2DC first, let it make the DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct file, Close M2DC.
Run the CAB skin of choice.
Rename DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct to OriginalTheme.m2dct (or anything else with same extension).
Rerun M2DC. It will detect no DefaultThemeBackup.m2dct and will ask to back up again. Let it make new backup. Close M2DC.
Rename new file to the name of the new theme.
Repeat for each skin CAB you wish to convert to m2dc theme file.
Note: The M2DCT files can be large (over 3Mb, 660 files backed up). Best to do this only if M2DC is installed on a large Storage card.
Note 2: Several times M2DC appeared to freeze when applying or backing up themes. It looks like it has problems if touchflo is not off prior to running. It does try to deactivate touchFlo then reactivate when done, but it doesn't appear to work flawlessly yet. It is better to deactivate the Today plugin before running M2DC on this ROM build.

Guys I have just modified the 2330..bla manila file following the guide in the Sticky. Everything is ok expect one thing, I did everything, added my city (Lugano, Switzerland). When i go to weather tab and i choose my city it says connection error, but every other city works great :S Can you please help me?
I'm having no luck either.
The instructions regarding SQLite don't work for me. Should point out you need to take off the Read Only flag else SQLite browser won't save your changes. The cities are added ok, and now selectable, but they do not update the weather. Keeps saying connection error (attempted many retries too), just for the custom ones. The default cities update fine.

After you have edited your manila file and set everything up, remember to install Weather Database editor 1.2 and then run the program. After that everything should be working A big big big thanks to "spud_work" who gave me this tip

Hi,
Why dont you shearch before you open a new Thread !?
you can find about the weather connection etc. in many threads.
BTW there Allready is a DUTTY 3.7 Thread, so i think there is no reason to open a new thread !
Good night ( when you ask a question in the thread about the rom you use, You might get help allot faster )
hi all
i had the same problem with the weather using david uk rom the latest one.
This what i did and it worked for me
1. find HH_0409 weathercities_xml file in windows
its under HKEY_Current User\Software\Manilla.
2. Copy the file somewhere on desktop also make a backup of file incase need to replace it.
3. Open it with note pad and change a city which u are not likely to use, find the city code from Accu Weather website and replace all the code.
4. Save the file and copy it back to phone ( i put it in my documents folder) use total commander and replace the existing file.
5. Go in HTC Weather and add new location and file will be there for u to use. Worked for me so hopefully will work for u also.
Tried installing Weather Database but Touch Flo kept crashing tried loads of versions but same result so i tried this method and bingo it worked .
Hope this helps
Thanks

Hi all, i just wanna share how i am doing it.
1. Edit 2330dc3c_manila in the sql lite to edit your city
2. Copy the 2330dc3c_manila to storage card
3. use total commander / resco explorer copy 2330dc3c_manila file to /windows (OVERWRITE IT)
(if you update now, u will receive connection error)
4. install the weather master 1.3
5. run weather master once.
6. turn off the touch flo 3d
7. copy 2330dc3c_manila to windows/ (Do This AGAIN)
8. delete forecast_cache at Application Data\HTC\databases
9. turn on your tf3d
10. you now can update your city.

Sometimes a search returns so many results it's all but impossible to find the answer, unless you've been lucky with your chosen search terms.
If you've found the answer, a better way to educate people in the ways of searching might be to tell them what search terms you used. A link to the answer that you found by searching will also be useful.
This is a huge forum, with hundreds of threads and many thousands of posts, and tracking down the few posts that might help with an issue can sometimes be very difficult.

Please try and follow forum rules and don't open new threads unless absolutely necessary!!
I agree that it can be hard to find answers especially in long threads, but if search didn't help, why not ask this question within thread. There is already a discussion at present in Duttys V3.7 thread about this subject with possible solutions so NO need to open new thread
Thanx
