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...

?? .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

heres the website

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.

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.

OEM/CAB for Push to Talk (PTT) on AT&T Tilt/Kaiser?

Greeting All, I promise I wouldn't resort to starting a new thread unless I had exhausted all other options. I've searched 25+ different things on Google, read literally hundreds of thread and thousands of posts learning and creating. I've been a Mogul user for a year, but have now moved on to the Kaiser/Tilt. I've made a fantastic ROM and love everything about it except for one thing - it's missing PTT. I own a computer business and our techs use this religiously. I'd love to have it back, but have searched high and low for an OEM or CAB. I even tried extracting it myself from the latest AT&T stock ROM, only to have it never install right after creating the CAB.
I've hit road blocks and dead ends all over the forum. 4 times I found what I needed and all times the CAB/OEM/RAR no longer existed. Googling the file name returned nothing. The best I have to go on is this: I saw in a discontinued thread there was an OEM package from "_Alex_'s UltraClean ATT 1.60.502.3 ROM OEM Packages.rar", namely "PTT_2_0_614_713". It's even in the screenshots in the WIKI, but I can't find this package in v5.1 of the posted OEM packages. I've hunted everywhere for it. Forums, FTPs, Google... either I'm just completely missing it (possible - been at this problem for around 15 hours) or it's just not there anymore.
Can anyone possibley provide me with a link to the UltraClean RAR download? Or at the very least that specific OEM package? Even a CAB of it would suffice - I'll make an OEM. I'm about ready to give up and *gasp* flash a stock ROM so I can have PTT back until I get this solved. Please, someone point me in the right direction if you can. Thanks so much for everything the major players do on this forum. Love it!

Peace. ~G

This is extracted from Hermes, see if it works!

Very cool, thanks for the help. I have the same files from the original AT&T ROM, yet I was having problems converting it to a working CAB/OEM. However, your attachment helped me run across something else that might work. I searched for "PTT=2_0_703_715" instead of "PTT_2_0_703_715" and came up with a few more hits. I think I can build an OEM from it and eventually a CAB. If so, I'll be sure to post it all here for anyone like me.
Thanks so much!
::EDIT:: - I just realized that this IS a complete OEM. The file I was missing before was marked as system so it wasn't showing up at first. (When I recreated it manually, I got the error of it's already there...) I'll see if making this into a CAB works on the cooked ROM. If so, you're my hero. If not, you've still given me something to work with!! Thanks again.
::EDIT AGAIN:: - Well, creating a CAB from those files didn't seem to work, but it's entirely possible I just did that wrong. It installed successfully (so it claims), but I can't get the button to remap properly either via Registry during install or manually assigning it to PTT. (Mapping it to Comm Manager and MS Voice CMD works perfectly though.) Starting PTT manually (from the PTT folder under Windows after install) seems to work at first. It warns of possible extra charges and starts to provision service, but it never finishes. No error message (that I can make out... there is a scrambled text message which is what currently happens when someone who has PTT tries to message me or their status changes, etc). I'll try cooking it into a ROM and see what comes of that. FWIW, I also tried building the additional files from a stock AT&T Tilt firmware. I'm hoping someone else can come through with the original OEM files I was after (pictured in the Kaiser Kitchen Wiki from _Alex_) so I can try to turn them into a CAB. Otherwise, I'll keep tinkering with what I have to work with and see what happens.

Peace. ~G

Sorry for the double post, but this i something that may help others running across this thread - rusyn posted a cab that might work. Unfortunately I haven't tested it yet, but it seems like they had luck! The thread is HERE. I'm skeptical if it maps the PTT button correctly because it looks like the same files I packed myself into a CAB, yet it gave me a bit of grief with that. (Of course, I very well could have done it wrong, but it was far from my first CAB creation.)
Either way, give it a go if you were hunting like me.

This Stupid Phone and Weather Location Fix

What the hell is wrong with these phones? Is is so hard for the manufacturer to provide a simple freakin fix for weather locations. Oh hey, my town not on the list, so I shall try and hack the stupid files to get my city. Now my phone don't work, thanks. Tried using a patch to hack the HTCHome.dll and installed it, and guess what, my phone is screwed up. It locks at start and I can't even use it. Way to go!!!! Can't someone have a file that just has United States cities in it instead of all these crap countries that I don't even give a damn what the weather is for some off the wall country in South Africa???? Yes, I am sorry that I pissed, but I can't use my phone now. Any ideas?

Was there a question in there or was it just a general rant about the phones , that the rest of us seem to have no trouble using, and the rest of the " crap countries " ( of which hundreds are represented on this site ) other than the U.S.......... Ugly Americans.....why would anyone call us that ?

If you can't get into the phone at all then it's time for a hard reset.

I have done a hard reset and the phone still does nothing. Only way I could fix it was to reflash my phone. Now I got my phone working, but sorta sucked that I had to do this because of a stupid file. I am sorry if I said anything wrong, but this weather thing is really starting to get under my skin. I have looked all over this forum and did everything that the guides tell me, and I still can't get this stupid phone to work right. Plus it don't help that I can't even replace the HTChome.dll because the stupid file permissions. I have tried to use Total Commander and still it keeps changing itself back to read only and system file, etc. I can't overwrite the file, I can't delete, I can't do anything with it. I have downloaded a modded HTChome.dll file, but what good is it when I can't even get it on my phone. And if I try the other way, where I mod the file using the tools and then install the cab it creates, that causes the phone to endless reboot or just hangs up after it gets to the home screen. So then I have to re-flash the phone again to make it work. I am using WM 6.1 HTC stock rom, so what I'm I doing wrong?

flash to a 6.5 rom.

What happened when you followed the link that I gave you ?

Well, I did go to the link, thank you btw. But still had issues.
1) Disable HTC Home from today screen
2) Unzip the attached file, then copy it to the windows directory <---won't let me
3) Soft Reset
4) Enabled HTC Home
If you cannot overwrite HTChome.dll, then use use totalcommander or some other file explorer and rename the existing one HTChome.old, and then copy the new file to the windows folder and soft reset, should work like a charm. <---Did that and still can't rename or overwrite the file. It renames it self back and changes its permissions back to original.
Since I installed the new HTC Home 2.1 etc, then also reloaded my M2D update 23, I have noticed another directory under root called HTC Home with similar files that are also in Windows. Now could I maybe copy a modded HTCHome.dll file to that and regedit to point to that directory. I am afraid to do anything since the phone keeps being stubborn and I have to do a complete reload if anything goes wrong. I have already reloaded this phone 6 times because of this. Thanks

Blame the weather on the ROM chefs
For all the great things the ROM chef do, putting the weather files into ROM is the only decision I feel comfortable calling into question: specifically, the XML with the cities list should be in RAM where it can be edited as needed and the dll that calls accuweather should be be in RAM too (although putting a patched version of the DLL in ROM may work with a custom xml .... I don't cook ROMS so I don't know.)
This leads to my current question:
Is it better to put certain things into ROM or is it better to have them installed upon flashing using UC or Sashimi (or some other method?)
IMHO, for the purposes of cooking my own ROM (if I ever figure it out...) I will use the latter method until I know exactly what apps I want to put into my ROM (Mobile Office, carrier-related settings, soft-reset, safe mode boot, net framework, Pandora, SOTI Pocket Controller Pro, etc) whereas my email settings, wifi network settings, BT pairings, registry entries for installed apps on my SD card, shortcuts to those programs, etc will all be done in customization after flashing.
JMOFO and my 2¢

What is flashing and how does it work?

Hey guys, I am new here and have no idea how all this stuff works. This probably sounds pretty stupid, but could anyone explain all this stuff to me?

You need to start your education here.

we could, buuuut, theres a wiki for that. ;].
A rom, to a phone, is like every thing you know in your brain. It has all the information the phone needs to function. without it, youve got an expensive paper weight, as everyone likes to say. When you change roms, you flash them to your phone. "Flash" is a term synonymous with change or rewrite, if you will. And its fairly quite simple to execute.
Before we start, I'm not responsible if you don't read my directions carefully or mess it up. So read and re-read, then ask if you're still unsure.
First, you need to flash the HardSPL if youve never devirginized your TP2. Maybe someone could help with that step, as i only flash the hardspl when i absolutely need to which has been... 3 times.
After you flash the HardSPL, download a rom from here. now, i know youre gonna ask "which one?".. its trial and error, find one that works for you and then follow that cook and his/her updates. I find that NRGZ Photon rom is very stable for 6.5. Everyone else seems to be in the market for 6.5.1, or Manila 2.5 as featured on the HTC Leo, which isn't completely stable or functional. I'd recommend that you start with a 6.1 or 6.5 rom, and stick with that until you pick up stuff and learn more. So stay away from the 6.5.1, as it is still very beta.
Before you open the file that youve downloaded, you need to download a program that will unpack the RAR file, which should hold the NBH file and the RUU. [ill get to that in a sec.] I find that the best program to use is WinRAR, which can be downloaded for free. Open your file with WinRAR and extract the files. Make sure your NBH file and your RUU are in the same folder, or else you will get an error. For me, I organize all of my downloads. optional: create a folder "roms" > photon, leo, or some other version > and the builds... Every time you extract a file to a folder, itll overwrite the existing file, and thats why i have it all organized.
Whats in the file: NBH file. This is the knowledge needed by your TP2 to function. Connect your phone to the computer and let it sync with activesync. Click on explore and it should bring up a folder with an orange phone, and the path name at the top should read Mobile Device. Drag and drop the NBH file on that page. The files name should be RHODIMG.NBH.
Once you've done that, double click on the RUU [rom update utility]. The name of that should read CustomRUU.exe, double click... once you do that, read all of the directions it displays.
Just a quick note, make sure your battery is at least halfway full, so your phone won't die in the middle of the flash, as it will not charge during this time.
Everything from there on is very, very simple. Once you get through all of the steps, [clicking all the check marks, making sure you've gone through the steps], you're phones screen will display three different colors, red, white and blue, i believe. Don't be alarmed, this is normal. It will start to flash, and a status bar displaying a percentage will display both on your computer and your phone. IMPORTANT: DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE DURING THIS PART. If you disconnect your phone, its done, dig it a grave, for the most part. Make sure your cable is of good quality, and that your phone will not fall or get yanked and disconnect.
Once it has finished and the RUU displays a message with "custom rom has finished" or something of that nature, click finish at the bottom right, and your phone should restart and start to configure itself. I wait til it's done configuring to disconnect, just to be safe. And that should be it. :].
i know its hard to understand some of the directions around here, whether it be from lack of definition or complication. I hope this helps a little. Sorry for the length. I had trouble understanding what to do when I first started because there wasn't any clarification.
Happy Flashing,

What is flashing and how does it work?
You take off all your clothes and put on a long rain coat. You then go down to the park and wait in the bushes for someone to walk by. When they do, jump out and open your coat!

This is real flashing

@OP
Have read of the stickies and the wiki. A lot of what you want to know is already explained, you have to read, and find out.
A starter... flashing is the process of updating the phones software (everything, including the OS)
