Experts, one question. I have a friend working on a bootscreen for me, and he got it down from 30 megs to 22, is that too big? I am running an HTC Imagio, stock ROM, with a memory card, so storage isn't an issue.
Additional question
Guys n Gals, if 22 is too big, how do we go about reducing its size, and what size is the optimum, or maximum, that we should go?
Thanks!
depends... if internal... wanna keep it smaller...
for htc users there is a reg edit for maping out the file location to the gif... file...
so in theory you could map it to your SD card.. then size isnt an issue...
cause i dont believe there is a cap on how long or big it can be... if there is .... i have never seen it surpassed...
Thanks Trek! Can you lead me to the registry edit that would link it to my card?

6700 today screen
I also want to change my today screen. I know how to remove items, but how to add? I like the Palm 700 today screen. I understand it is proprietary.
How to get the search and 1 touch dialing feature like Palm 700 on VZW?
NEWBIE.
All I have done is hard then soft reset. Phone works good, but also need to figure out how to make my storage card available in messaging/tools/options/storage. The only option to save attachments is to either main memory, or the extended rom . It doesnt see/show my memory card.. Any help appreciated...

I think that this is what you're referring to?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=278547
(Just a suggestion but please take the time to do a quick serach here. I know that the posts get quite confusing but you need to spend time looking first.)
As for the storage card I suspect that you need to put it in a reader and format it as that option SHOULD be available. Can you see it with the file explorer?
Steven
6700 storage
sorry. i will look harder...
As far as storage, yes file explorer does see it.
When I check the box to save to save attachments to storage card, it says of course it is locked. (because it is not seeing card.)
If no other idea, I will backup files and programs installed to it, format it, then put them back. I guess a simple copy will work...
Hello there,
So I was bored today, and since I have nothing better to do, I added 2 new sounds when you open and close the keyboard.
It's from the Tank Siege in the first Starcraft.
Here is the file, I created the reg file based on Wizeman's SNE V2.5 ROM.
ps: if that post is not supposed to be here, my apologizes!
Works a treat on my O2 Stellar. Good work, my friend!
Nice!
I'm new to ppc things, but I will try to make a cab

mario sounds
my bad dude! i forgot last night...studying for a test...here ya go!
just copy the to audio files to the windows folder
to import the registry keys u need the one registry editor that is built into the task manager(sorry forgot the name)
else u would need to manually inter the registry keys
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SlidingSound\
new key(folder)3
(in 3, three REG_SZ files)
named
value name - default
value data - mario(or what ever u want i to appear as in the menu)
value name - in
value data - 3_in.wav
value name - out
value data - 3_out.wav
the provided reg editor will not import reg key....but will allow you to manually inter them if u dont have the other registry editor....enjoy!
You beat me to it!

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

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.
absolutely

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 did you get devil may cry to boot up? isn't it 3D? also are you using your d-pad or keyboard number?
Tried to search about it but i couldnt find anything usefull.
When i try to copy (i drag n drop to memory card) its not able to copy files that are bigger the ~100MB.
The file im trying to copy is 184,4MB and it stops without any erros after about 75% and then retrys again n again in a endless loop(i think. i have not verifyed the endless part ).
Have anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it??

i'd suggest that u take the card out of the phone, and using and sd card reader copy the stuff directly in ur desktop, and put the sd card back in the phone. it will be waaaaay faster this way, anyway

Is this useful enough for you Copying large files using Activesync to Kaiser SD card issues..
Been there, done that
PS It'd help our cause if you complain to HTC about it. They seem to go by the old 'we'll only fix it when we've received lots of complaints about it' philosophy
PPS Are you aware that there may be a slightly newer HTC ROM available (with a better Radio) for your device (assuming it's HTC branded)?
Thanks for all the help

That i didnt know but im glad to hear that.
What ROM, and by who, would that be?
Im new to the PPC world n really dont now all the lingo yet. For the moment im trying (w/o success) to make a backup of the phone. As soon as i have made a backup i will start flashing/testing ROMs.
Maybe some solutions

Its not a HTC or Kaiser problem

The copying will be done but it will take ALOT of time before its finnished.
To verify that i installed the WinCE plugin for Total Commander and copyed via it. There i see the progressbar moving as it should, but really slow.
I just copyed the 184,4MB without any problems, it just took 20 minutes.

It's only a cosmetic indication problem, the files will still get through - eventually. The only thing slower is HTCs eagerness to fix the problem.
What ROM, and by who, would that be?

I'm just referring to the standard latest ROM released by HTC, the manufacturer of the 'generic' (HTC Branded) TyTN II. It's nice and easy to upgrade with it and running one program does it all.

Think of the Kaiser as a little like one of those desktop PCs that comes from a mega-corporate supplier and has a hidden recovery partition on the hard disk drive. It's even easier with the Kaiser though because you dont need to have a recovery CDROM to start the process, you just run the Clear Storage Memory function and it clears things up, back to like new (well at least the latest ROM that was loaded). If you're new here, it's worth reading the wiki - certainly before you do any flashing.

The problem is that Microsoft wont take feedback directly from end users on this but only from their direct customers, the OEMs who make the Pocket PCs so we have to complain to them.
At least we know that its working, sort of...

I have been reading and reading about 3-4 weeks now and im getting there.
I see Windows Mobile as a funny combination of Win95 OSR2 and some NT4.
The OS is as buggy as Win95 and the file structure is almost the same.
Im guessing the filesystem is FAT16 with the same fragmentation problems.
Same idiotical problems, install one thing to get something else stop working.
But at the same time alot of the programs are standalone so im building a program folder on my SDcard so when i do a hardreset i just have to copy the shortcuts to my start-menu and i have about 40 programs ready to be used.
I use Card Export to convert the phone into a card reader. Solved my problems of large file (like movies) transfers.
Hi guys,
I had my kaiser for about a month but I've never tried to change ringer until now.
Of course I'd like to use an MP3 ringer, but I wasn't able to choose a file from the SD card... I had to copy the file to the ring directory on the phone memory.
I'm sure there is another way to do it, but how??
Ah, well, I've actually used the search button, but it comes out with hundreds of ROM posts and I got lost...
Thanks for helping.

Go to your mp3 file, press and hold a pop up menu will appear with" set as ringtone " as an option.
And your right, this has been covered 1000 times ...........well 1001

No there are certain files related to the day to day operation of the phone that would confuse the phone if they were missing, the ringtone is one of them.
You can store your ringtones on your card, but to use them they must be in the windows folder in your device memory.
By the way Welcome to the Forum. Read much and explore there is a lot to learn here.

And if you are running a stock AT&T ROM, then you also need to edit the registry.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds]
"FileSizeLimit"=0
