Is there a way to delete the preset icons that come with the phone on this tab. 9 of the 18 tabs available are taken up by programs I'll never use or am not even going to install they came with the phone. But when I try to delete them from that tab it shows a padlock by them and it won't let you. I have searched in the phone folders and can't find where they are to delete them.. I'm hoping someone else has already figured this out..
I'm getting pretty good with this phone and I consider myself pretty computer stupid.. But you guys on here are absolutely great and I have learned so much..
Ok yeah.. I found it in something I already had installed.. Ok but maybe this post will help others find the answer easier since I didn't find anything on it when searching..
OH yeah the answer... The diamond TF3D config has an option for that section to delete them.. I remember when I installed this on my touch pro it had an error and I had to delete the tweaks folder from the program folder.
Hello all, I've been reading on these forums for a long time, but this is my first post as I was not able to find a solution while searching. This is what I have,
AT&T Tilt
With Windows Mobile 6.1 Flashed (DuTTy ROM, can't remember which one exactly now, Hybrid something I think)
I also had the TouchFLO 2D (Manilla) Home Screen, but recently switched back to the HTC Home screen thinking that that may have been the cause which didn't help)
I believe my phone gets the texts messages and the emails, because my phone notifys me with a buzz when I do, and I notice that the number of emails/texts changes. But, on the TouchFLO 2d, it says "No Messages" for each, and on the HTC home screen, it has the number for each, but when I click on them, it does nothing. I've tried clicking start -> Messages, and still does nothing.
A few other programs I have which may interfere, Slide 2 Unlock 2, and Pocket CM.
The Manilla 2D is version 21 or 22, can't exactly remember right now.
Any tips or hints are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Also, I've tried power cycling, removing the battery for a while. Removing the SIM, and power cycle. And reinserting the SIM. Still nothing.
I know that if you search you will find. but i have had this same problem and have searched and could not find a solution for awhile. but like others say google is your friend. here was what i now do when this happens to me i use a program called advanced task manager and under processes i find TMAIL.EXE and end its processes and now i can go into my messages and email. i suggest to try that.
Ok Everyone.. when someone needs help.. most of them have searched and can;t find the answer.. that is why they are asking for help.... Telling them to go look some more when they most likely have is sort of elitist and rude... I have had problems before where I almost hard reset my phone, when there were simple fixes out there....
I had a very simmilar problem, and after doing a lot of research myself, I found this was my problem.. I was storing my attachments and messages on the storage card to save room... There is a file/folder in the root directory of the storage card called INBOX.mstXXXXXX where the X's are numbers... Just erase that folder... and reboot the phone... The forum where I found it also reccomended that I turn off the option to store the files on the SD card, but I am still doing it anyways... When I erase the folder it corrects the problem immediately.. and if my TXT stops working again... it is easy enough to fix.. The only problem is the messages you are getting now while it is not working will not be there when it is fixed.. but all your previous ones will be... I hope this helps!

Thanks for you help!! Hinted by Teej's suggestion, I didn't go as far as deleting the directory, but I just ejected my MicroSD and put it back in and that worked! Thank you so much for your help, and thanks for the quick responses everyone.
Ive ended up with stupid issue here, basically I replaced my digitizer with a cheap ebay one and made a mess of it, so now my touchscreen doesnt work. Ive been ok with that until today I flashed the rom to unlock the phone and the first screen pops up with "Please tap the screen to set up your device" or something similar. Thats something I cant physically do so if anyone knows a way around that I would LOVE to hear it
Cheers.
Not yet
People will recommend using tools such as mymobiler and such, that enable you to connect to your device over the PC using activesync.
It does work, for the first tap only. The screen alignment after that is where you are boned, I find myself in the same situation.
Try researching for registry keys that can be modified, as programs like Soti's Pocketpro will allow you to modify registry keys. I'll post if I find anything similar.
search for and read about "welcome.not". the idea is to create a blank file named "welcome.not" on your storage card so the phone chooses to skip the screen alignment wizard on first boot up.
The "solution" may be:
Try flashing one of Witschey's ROMs, because he does not include neither screen alignment nor apps setup in the ROM, so that you'll access the device after flashing, no need to soft-reset nor anything.
The question is, what are you going to do if you can't touch the screen ?
Well, i can do a few things that I need with it. Use it as a phone for a start
I get a free upgrade soon so Ill go with the hero or an iphone but until then I will need a phone and an mp3 player. You can still kind of use google maps even for GPS its just tricky. I did manage my way around London with it lol.
Thanks for the tips anyway guys, Ive tried deleting the welcome file already today but the device kind of locks after that in that you cant really see any icons, even tried 2 roms with it. I will give that Witschey ROM a go though that sounds like it could be the answer to this.
welcome.not
Welcome.not file worked for me, but I did not put in on a SD card, just in the root of the device after MS does activesync.
My computer<device<double click<paste
Took the battery out, turned it on, presto.
Thanks for that!!
No need to reflash, was cool.
Well I tried a Witschey ROM and its working great! Thank you afn961 for that one. It runs very fast indeed as well compared to the stock T-mobile WM6 I had on there. Only issue I have now is that I cant access some menus without the touchscreen, worst one being the running programs menu so stuff just stays open. Cant win em all though.
quite a few cooked ROMs these days are built so that the screen alignment wizard is skipped and it won't show up unless you invoke it explicitly.
i suggested the "welcome.not" approach because it is known to work in terms of skipping the screen alignment wizard and i thought you wanted to stick to the ROM you had because it was to your liking, else i'd have suggested one of the ROMs mentioned in the first paragraph.
finally, you CAN manage running applications using one of the many third party task switchers. i will suggest "showcase" or "taskfacade". the idea is to map your PTT button to invoke the task switcher. not sure if the following will work properly but you can set the default htc task manager to close applications (instead of minimizing them) when you press OK. so you can press OK to exit the foreground application or you can invoke the third party task manager to SWITCH to another application. that way, you get multitasking AND the ability to close the applications you don't need.
check it out and let us know how it goes, good luck!
hi, does anyone know how to hard reset a t5353 Dual OS so that both Android and WM go back to factory settings?
i was able to do a reset on wm by going thru the settings and all but i'm having problems with android part of it.
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ANDROID OS!!!
i tried to calibrate the ANDROID screen and instead my finger, i used my stylus. It picked up my stylus during calibration but after that my screen stopped responding to any touch what so ever. i can press volume, windows, back buttons (or soft keys?) etc and they work just fine showing that the OS itself is working but it's not picking up anything on the screen. Actually, i did notice that when it is about to "sleep" and the lights get "dim", me touching on the screen wakes it up... any help would be appreciated....
i have tried the two of the following available HARD REST combination - neither one worked.
i also know that the touch screen itself is working because when i boot it in WM, the screen and everything else works just fine.
i've made a post in another thread but it's under WM area and my problem is with Android (for mods, just in case they think it's double posting--i'm sorry).
more info.
here is some more stuff that i've tried with the advice from adstrylight who was kind enough to spend some time on my problem

Android vs WM..
Which version of android do you have with your phone btw? Is it running from internal storage, or the sdcard(the easy way to tell this is if your SDcard contains a file called zimage or not)? I only ask as my phone originally came with android running from th SD, and was laggy/buggy beyond belief, and the latest version of A2.1 (the "fourth edition") is a world away in terms of stability etc.

not sure but when it boots, it shows the android logo (monkey or bugg or whatever it is), then it shows SOHO 2, and then shows a screen with "android" written on it...
no Zimage on SDcard. My device did not come with an SD card either and there is only one slot ( that i can see ) and it has my own SD card from before (which does not contain zimage). i even did a search on my entire phone and did not find zimage.
adstraylight said:
Don't know where this came from, but did you try pressing the zoom bar bellow where it says 'ok'? I only did this once, a long time ago, but this thought just occured to me over dinner....

yes, that is what i though initially. I was tapping all over the screen, trying to press "zoom out", trying to slide my finger towards "zoom out". I am not sure if it responded to me pressing over "OK" on the screen or "ZOOM OUT" or "CALL BUTTON" but it rebooted and did a hard reset. I was very happy at first only to find out that it only performed a hard reset on WM [very disappointing].

I think, this device not use zImage and use bootloader.

i'm not sure what that means... someone asked me in a different post if there was an external SD with a file named zimage... and my answer was that the device itself did not come with an SD card, i installed my own and it does NOT have zimage file.
thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
anyone? i'd really appreciate any ideas.
It could mean that you have a very different setup, or perhaps that it's an Android OS clone. Are you able to install apps through Android Market place ?

i "was" able to download apps from market place but since the screen does not respond to me "touching an icon", i cant really do much (nothing at all).
NOTE: the screen does however respond when the back light turns dim, me touching the screen wakes it up.
Mann i don't understand how no one knows the answer. All the hackers and crackers making big softwares available to everyone, and no one knows why android OS is not responding to touch????

Pardon?! You own a freaking clone which probably nobody else outside china owns and you are requesting any in deep assistance when nobody has the slightest knowledge about these fancy copy&paste devices?
Form you descriptions though, just to get that right... you had to calibrate your screen where you had to touch the 5 white boxes? If your Android installation is somehow a copy of the XDANDROID system which contains the touchscreen calibration app, then look for a file called "ts-calibration" on your device. Delete it and reboot into Android. (However that is done your device.)

1. thank you very much for your response. i will try to find the ts-calibration file and give it a try. i can upload the "rom" online, it says SOHO 2 when it's loading (if that helps?)
2. i think this device reboots like my samsung galaxy s, press and hold POWER and it asks you if you want to go in flight mode, power off etc.
i looked for this file, i actually did a search through my computer to see if i could find the "ts-calibration" but did not find it.
in WM section (using Resco Reg), i found a few .DLL files that had the word "touch" in them. One was "TouchRecognizer" and one was "touch.dll". i'm not sure which one exactly, but there were a few #s that changed after i did a caliberation ( on WM ). Is there a file in Android that's like that, maybe i could just copy those #s from WM into the .dll or something for Android?
thanks again for taking time to help.
No, you can't copy windows DLL to Android. I assume the only chance you have is searching the net, or some dedicated clone forums for the answer on how to reset your android installation.

Perhaps there is simply no Android?

I want to say, no working android.
Read and search in this topic, and you find custom roms.
Even with updated to 2.1 system.bin and data.bin android files.

thank you for your help. I have already been talking to some people in the link you just posted.
I've solved my issue by simply re-flashing it.
Thanks everyone who responded.
Does anyone have one of these, and if so, how far have you gotten in building new personalities? I would love to be able to edit the text files to control the sprites, but don't know how. Last I heard several years ago android78 was working on an editor to do this, but has since disappeared. I know how to change the mp3's, and rebuild the .vivo file, that's not the hard part. Those dang text files are. I am not even sure what they are written in. To me it doesn't even resemble any languages I have come across. Anyone out there? This thing would be bad to the bone with completely new personalities since Wowwee gave up on it too soon!
I just picked one up @ goodwill and agree it would be super cool. Unfortunately, mine has no files on it at all (the drive is blank when I plug in the USB cable) so it stays at "loading" with the progress bar at 0 even with a fresh vivo file in there. Does yours load a personality? If so, do you mind letting me know if there are more files in there besides the vivo?
If I can get mine to work I bet I could get some of the dev's at work to figure out the text file.
Thanks.
The original file was called Max_Simon.vivo. If yours has no files, try getting the Mr. Personality software from the Wowwee website, and then the original file and push it back onto him via USB and the software. I looked and all I could see are the .vivo files. The .vivo files can easily be seen if you rename it to a .zip and extract it. Before loading though it needs to be changed back. That's how I was able to work with the .mp3 files, but it does take the software to push it back onto him and then go into settings to pick a personality to load. If it is the only personality it should load automatically if the file is original and not corrupted. If you need either of the files, let me know and I will post them for you. That would be awesome to get someone to take a look at these files and let us know what we need to do. I know there are a lot of people out there with these sitting in closets because of the great support they threw and it, not. It's up to us now!

Holy crap, I thought I was the only one who had this issue! Mine's been down for nearly 5 years by now; I happened to shut Mr. P off in the middle of recording a voice memo, and when I turned him back on he had the exact same symptoms with the loading screen as you mentioned. Now I made a topic on Robocommunity shortly after but all that was suggested in that thread didn't work at all. I don't know if I was doing anything wrong but after all this time it still doesn't work. It really disappoints me because this is actually a really cool robot that I always wanted to load up with my own personalities... and then it conks out.
If anyone could help figure out how to get this guy working, I'd be really grateful.
I know this is an old thread, but would appreciate anybody leading me to the Mr Personality software and the default voices for Max and Simon, as wowwee no longer lists these on their site. Thanks!
I got one and connect to my pc.There are some files of Max and Simon.I try to find some more personality files online,but failed. Is there anyone have them?Thanks.my email is mrmm[email protected]
