Hi, i just got an XDA IIs and have been reading up as it does seam to crash regually. and i heard that removing the o2 active peice of crap helps. but i cant find anywhere how to do it?
Cheers Paul
The best way to get rid of O2 active is to hard reset, when the screen apears asking "PRIVATE OR CORPORATE" install select corporate then enter 0506 in the password field.
If you do this back up your phone and address book to the SD card, before you hard reset - do not try to re-install all your programs etc from back up following the hard reset, as doing this re-loads part of the rubish you are trying to get rid of - believe me if you do this it really screws up the handset - I tried it - wouldn't charge in the car, kept locking up etc. The sooner you do the hard reset the easy it will be - less applications to re-load - good luck _ Mike
Hi all,
I to am trying this reset process with an O2 XDA, when it hard resets I am not getting the screen asking me for "PRIVATE OR CORPORATE", any ideas as to why?
Can someone also confirm the Hard Reset sequene?
Many thanks
Paul
what i do is, after the hard reset (and choosing personal) and having it do all its stuff, first, remove/disable all O2 stuff from the today screen (start -> settings -> today -> remove all the o2 stuff in both tabs).
then start -> settings -> remove programs, remove all the o2 active VR stuff.
probably a message will pop up, noting some directories it doesn't remove. after removal is done, just go to file manager, and manually delete those directories.
seems to remove it for me =)
Mackster, you only get about five seconds to select the mode you want, if you don't do anything it will install personel mode as default - Why O2 insist on puting this rubish on there badged machines is beyond me - it makes a nice bit of kit into rubish, Ive had no problems since getting shut of it, even O2 support by phone will tell you to take it off as the first line for most queries - Mike
Paul, the thing I did was hard reset, and when it gives me a warning that programs will be installed in 3 seconds, I did a soft reset. After the soft reset, it won't try to install the programs anymore. I think this gives you the CLEANEST install.
When I did the Corporate setup, it still installed the PDF viewer, blah blah... I would like to control what I put in my PDA, even if they are useful programs. Hope this helps.

Sorry to dig this topic up, but I was looking for a solution and came up with one myself and thought I'd post it incase it comes in handy for anyone else.
Right, to disable the O2 Active UI from running...
Code:
Programs -> File Explorer
- Go to \Windows\Startup (make sure you have \ not \\ at the beginning if entering a path name)
- Delete the "connections" program
Soft Reset
This should stop the little O2 icon from appearing in the taskbar. For completeness, you'll probably want to stop any of the other O2 apps from running as well...
Code:
settings -> today -> items
- untick o2aui
- untick clockinfo
- untick o2BatteryPlugin
- OK
Soft Reset (to be sure)
Personally, I like the battery plugin, because its actually quite practical. Anyway, if you want to completely remove the software, do as follows...
Code:
Programs -> File Explorer
- Go to \Windows\Fonts
- Delete or rename the xpdr_02 (font) file
Settings -> System -> Remove Programs
- Select the O2 active UI from the list and click remove.
The UI should now be removed. It will probably tell you that it was successful, though some directories remain. You can delete them manually if you wish, but they shouldn't matter.
If you need/want to re-install the O2 software, you can do so from the software CD provided with the XDA, or it may be still available from the add/remove programs menu in ActiveSync.
You'll have probably noticed there's quite a lot of programs in the \Windows\Startup folder. I'm not sure what all of them do, but I bet you can get better start up times by removing some of them. Be careful though!
Enjoy
Thankyou to all that helped me out.
Many thanks

I think I want to do a corporate install (Because I'm now having problems with vanishing clocks) but was to keep my o2batteryplugin
Does anyone know where it is so I can copy it - I've tried searching but nothing comes up

Maybe it's

remove O2aui
Hi there,
I have seen so many clever hints how to successfully remove the O2aui from the device that I wonder what's wrong with simply goint to settings/system/remove programs and remove Mobile Solutions SRL O2ActiveUI v... ?
Would this remove more functions that I actually need?
Thanks for your comments.
Cheers

You guys are amazing.
That company HCT should put you people on a permanent retainer.
I can testify that 0506 works to stop the O2 interface program being installed.
My XDA is now O2-free, and my lady's XDA is running an Orange Pay-as-you-go card.
As good as we think the XDA is, it would be nowhere near as good without this board and forum. The only problem we have had is actually finding the tricks to use.
A sticky or a permanent post would be most helpful. You folks all know how to do things like Hard Re-sets and have forgotten the time when you didn't. Just those two simple things... a hard re-set and that 0506 trick... have profoundly enhanced my use and experience of my XDA.
BTW in case anyone is thinking of buying one, we got a Stowaway Portable Keyboard with one of our XDAs, and we think it's pretty good. You have to remember to turn off the IRD when you want to use the keyboard, but aside from that, it was a good addition for us.

I just got a Dopod C730 today and already put it through some ROM upgrades, and am currently on the 1.16.707.7_1.43.50.00_108_Ship ROM from the wiki ftp. After playing with it for a while (which is fun and faster than my previous Dash), I tried to open Messaging, but it just refuses to launch. I still have no idea why this happens??? Anyone know how to put things on the right track again? Pls save me!!! Any help is much appreciated!!!

Never mind it, guys. I've figured it out; It was just a matter of quotation marks I accidentally left out when tweaking the device, to move the mail stuff onto my Storage Card. Have a good day!!!
Hi all
Does anyone have a program or know where I can get one from so that I can turn Wi-Fi on/off with the touch of 1 icon from a shortcut in the launcher tab, I have got 1 that allows me to do this with Bluetooth but I cant find 1 that will do it for Wi-Fi, I cant create one from windows so at the moment I keep having to go to comms and then from there.
Many thanks
Jon

Hi all!
I've installed a new skin to my TP2 (that was a big fault) everything was going wrong..
All buttons are completley white, horrible loading animation, etc, etc.
Now I have restored nearly everything. The only problem is that my startmenu is now as the old windows mobile drop-down menu. I want to have my HTC application launcher back. I think that it is a simple register setting...
I've searched here but cannot found a solution.
Can anybody help me with this problem/setting?
Thanks is advance and sorry for my poor English!

Check out the sticky. The registry edit is there.

it sounds like you changed your setting for the home page.
try... hit start, hit settings, select today, select items, click HTC sense or touch flow (which ever one you have), hope it helps.
Still not working...

Can someone upload a register file fith the malia settings?

Since you messed it up so bad, it may be a better idea to backup your data and do a hard reset.

Good idea, but everything else is working right now, and i was hoping to wait until the wm6.5 version is ut (official) so I can use the installation time for that moment...
Can you help me with a register file from the malia settings? (or do you have other good idea's?
I think that the problem is simple --> I've installed a verry ugly skin. I was trying to remove it but Wimo give me everytime a error (failed to remove....)
So I've uninstalled it with SkTools, but I think that it has not restored the previous settings, but that it hase removed all the register values from the skin file...
Thanks again for all helping people!

Personal: This was the problematic skin... ==> [THEME]*Sergio76* [Dark&Light V3.5 Final Uploaded] Full Theme 26/09/09
there is a registry key that changes the start button and start soft button (top left) from opening the quick programs (manila shell) to the drop down menu (windows mobile default). can be found here:
HKLM\Software\EnlargeMenu
"EnableManilaStartMenu"
Change 0 to 1.
Hope that works. this is how I changed my quick programs to drop down menu (I prefer the drop down menu better).

Thanks for the replay,
I have searched for that register value, but cannot find it.
So I have restored some parts of the register (after a backup) in the HCT/Malia map and the HTC EnlargeMenu (In local machine and Current user). but still not working. it is already a '1' in there.
So my (simple?) conclusion is that there is a deeper problem.
Still missing other register values, or missing files that have to be somewhere to run that program menu...
Anybody else a good idea?
Thanks for al your good idea's and help!
I'm using the device at my work (medical information/patiënt information) so it's nice if I could save the installation and wait until the 6.5 update will come out!
Ranney
Update: Just did a hard reset to my device. Hoping that that will help fixing the problem. the device was after al these problem verry slow too...

hehe. I've hard reseted my phone at least 10 times since the last week I've had this phone. it's the only way to test out apps to find the right one that works for you. I do installs and uninstalls. eventually I will find an app that [email protected]#$ up my phone, or that works really well. this will be an on going process for at least 3 months until I find what to settle with. It was like that with my Mogul, and it will be like that even more so with the TP2 because it's such an awesome upgrade.

DONE! . It's attached.
Installation goes without any problems (just needed to uninstall bb connect software). BB Application Suite starts but after splash screen I got only white screen and then program probably terminates itself (or wm does it) as I see only today screen (TouchFLO is switched off while BB Application Suite starts).
I have Energy.BLACKSTONE.21891.Leo_MaxManila_07.Feb.2010 flashed on my Touch HD and registry tweek - AKU changed to .1.6.0). maybe the WM build could be a problem.
Please share your experience with BB Application Suite on BlackStone I realy am keen on the bb service.

Working but no soft keyboard
After hard reset and installation BAS started to work on Energy.BLACKSTONE.21891.Leo_MaxManila_07.Feb.2010.
I have got a PIN (the same as at the BB connect) however was not able even to try enterprise activation as the soft keyboard was not available anywhere there. Or my phone is still not bugs free or it had meant to be this way as Touch Pro (Raphael) has hardware keyboard.
Anyhow I was to flash it to something else tomorrow so I will give it another try.

Where is the dot "." in soft keyboard?
Thanks for your advices.
Managed to get up to the point of actibation, soft keyboard appeared by long press for each character.
To enter my email I need a dot "." for my email-name and the ".com" ending. There is a character that appears like this, but sits on the middle between characters not on the ground. Any ideas?
Thnx

Hi all,
Ive read all the posts from over 50 sites (XDA and others) and can still not get the BAS to work on my HTC HD2 Leo.
Ive got it to install, Both BBC and BAS.
I have a BES account with my company.
I can get to the Register screen and nothing happens, says message sent but i can go no further.
Ive tried the hack for Raphael, done all the other reg tweeks.
Can someone please provide a simple answer for geting BAS to run, Register, do enterprise activation, sync with my company email, allow internet use etc.
I hate the blackberry they use, dont know why they use it.
I would very much love for someone to provide a solution, i only have 1 week left on my valid activation code. I need my HD2.
Please, please help.
ive spent countless hours and i am actually loosing sleep over the issue.
Thanks
Thanks for the software
