Hi everyone,
I hope it's OK to point to this thread from here, I think I put the post
in the wrong category originally? But I need some advice please?
Also this should be better than simply duplicating the other thread?

Thanks for looking - Michael
the problem here is when you install an app that is OK and does not reset you will notice the OK button appearing in the top right hand corner, that app install is ok.
If you install an app and it finishes installing but you don't see the OK in the top right corner then I guarantee this will make your orbit soft reset round and round in circles.
Only way round this is to execute the program or try removing the program BEFORE soft reseting your device.
Thanks for the info
Hi, what you say sounds very interesting and I shall now start to
re-install some things taking into account what you said.
If this is actually the problem and the fix I shall be most grateful
and relieved at finding out. This has been driving me crazy for ages!
Will follow up and let you know how I go on in the coming days/weeks?
Thanks again - Michael
Sorry - did not work out
Hi All,
Well what can I say? I have been very careful and am STILL with this lousy
problem! Had enough, feel like chucking the rotten thing in the bin!
Would it be any good or easy for me to update the ROM, WM5, or anything
else that may help? It is already unlocked.
It's no good to me if I am not able to run the programs that I want, unless
they are known to cause problems? But right now it's about impossible to
discover what is causing this? Could it be a combination of programs?
If so, I have no chance of working it out?
All the best to you, Michael
Just a quick line to say that it would probably be best to visit this thread

Its in the sig.
I assume you have gone to sound and notifications, notifications tab and selected new sms or voice call and then made sure a sound is selected and that the appropriate tick boxes are ticked... and that the tones you want are the right type of file and placed in the right folders?

simplest way before begging, help urself. hard reset the bugger.
now do ur sounds work? then its the apps or u have done something to it
if it still doesn't work, send it back
if u want help, start by helping urself n change the f*#kin heading

no amount of begging is going to help, be clear, be precise, be concise
oh yeah, rtfw or search the forums and stop begging, its sickening, annoying and frustrating
What an Arse Hole- 'SIMPLE SIMON'
You know Simon 'Simple Simon' you were once a newbie too so get off your high horse before you fall flat on you f***king face
What a jerk, I'm asking for Help, nicely because I thought this was a friendly forum that someone can help me. I did search but didn't find an answer, that what's new threads are for, you arse hole
Yes I've check the notification box, yes its the right type
It plays when I press the play button, but when I received a call or SMS, NO SOUND
Noone is asking you for your precious time if you dont want to damn well give it, bottom line is when you see a thread you don't like, see the door arse hole TAKE A HIKE
I agree the title is going to get peoples backs up considering its only a few sounds which do not work.
Do the sms files actually play manually in media player , are they corrupted?
Try selecting no sounds ok you way back out and then turn them all back on. (might reset any duff reg entries)
Failing that a hard reset will probably be quickest way to sort it?

If you dont give information how the heck do you what help.
Please help my phone is broken
How many poeple are going to help me on that one!!! you get the hint! When you give no useful information, you get no useful replies!!!!
What The F**********
If you read my first post I told you what i've install and even uploaded some of my registery files
what else do you want from me!!!!!
Problem that I see is that RickyJune has posted many My Phone won't work - here's no information but I want a psychic to fix it for me because I'm too lazy to research for my self threads.
Everytime I see a RickyJune thread I almost know the first response will be 'please give more information' or something of that nature.

I did search, and if you do a search and come up with the answer I'll be f***king surprise
Secondly I did give you all the info, my signature tells you what phone and OS im using, I posted my registry file that I thought was useful and I told you what software I'm running. and said if you need more pls ask
ITS ALL THERE IN MY FIRST POST JERK FACE IF YOU CAN BE BOTHERED TO READ!!!!!
God you people are half-harden b*****ds
Yeah many people who could help have become hardened to the "Pls Help" posts.
If you search for a particular problem (BTW Use the Google search as well on this forum) and can't find any answers then it's most probable that the problem is just peculiar to yourself.
Have you done a hard reset and do you still have the problem on a 'clean' install?
Oh my God a decent human being
thank you Wam7,
I decided to Hard Reset tonite when I get home, but its the last resort I thought maybe someone had any ideas before I did that, I wish I didn't bothered asking now,

Well for starters you can quit with the triple posting of threads for the same problem... and then a better subject to the thread... And then smaller letters... If you dont recieve a lot of replies from ones with the right titles its because no one has your answer, as its more than likely 3rd party software causing your issue, this is why the hard reset corrected your problem... be more descriptive, im sure you have more than that piece of junk wisbar advance installed on your device.. If you want answers it helps to know everything, ALL software installed, etc....
Hey there, can anyone point me to a version of Black 3 for T-mobile UK users?
The forum's "search" feature isn't exactly useful.
thanks, Forlornity
There isnt one, thats probably why the search feature isnt proving "useful"
I guessed as much
I'm an utter n00b with the whole re-flashing process, so can anyone allay my fears that I'm going to end up bricking my device?
Also, is it easy to set it up to work with t-mobile UK anyway, what sort of things would I need to do after installing the new OS ROM?
thanks, Forlornity
just use the normal black, and then apply the t-mobuk.cab (not sure, of its exact spelling) that will setup all the t=mobile settings for you.
what's the likelihood of bricking the device during the install (keeping in mind that this is a bog standard, no special parts, windows XP home laptop)?
oh, and where exactly does this "t-mobuk.cab" reside?
Is it on the forums or does black include it?
Have you read the wiki, and the thread on the rom you plan to install? How about the upgrade guide? If so, then the chance of bricking are low. If not, bricking is a very real possibility. As long as you read and understand it first, you will be happy with the ROM upgrade of your choice.
You really want to the reading the WIKI, everything is that you as a 'Newbie' you will need... including the T-Mobile cab. Read the upgrading sections.
yeah, I'm following the guide on it, but Hard spl takes less than a second to flash, is this correct? shouldn't it take a little longer than that?
thanks, Forlornity

Nope, it's a very fast flash. Afterwards you can put the phone in bootloader to verify it.
oh bugger, summat's up:
it comes up with a message saying "resources.96.dll
starting this program requires a component from an unknown publisher. You should start the program only if you trust the publisher's source do you want to continue?
yes/no"
it won't let me press anything.
What did I do and is it fixable?
Ok, I've had some ideas over the past few minutes as to the problem, and I THINK I've narrowed it down to windows live messenger.
The machine would respond for about two seconds before it crashed, during which time I was able to click on running programs, preventing it from trying to open the today screen (I believe). I've now taken windows live messenger off of the start screen and it's working fine, the resources notification has also disappeared, possibly because I managed to click yes.
Anyone have any previous experience with this sort of thing happening?
Apologies if this appears elsewhere but I have looked without success. If it does then a link to the solution would be great.
Basically I found this site a few weeks ago and since then have been tinkering with my phone. I've tried various roms, added different programs, played about with the settings and so on. Today I have finally got it just how I want it. It is overclocked to run quickly but safely. The today screen is perfect. It contains everything I need including my huge list of contacts. And my theme is spot-on. However usually in life when everything is right something big and hairy appears out of nowhere and dumps on you. Its got to the point where I panic every time I turn it on just in case it crashes and I need to start all over again.
My question therefore is if anyone knows of a utility (or can give detailed instructions) to completely back up the phone. Right down to the user settings, theme and contacts. If possible maybe even to create a rom image of my phone so that if it does ever crash I can reinstall the whole thing from one simple file. I assume this sort of thing must be possible because Kavana and Ricky produce such wonderful roms with various programs, etc pre-installed.
Can it be done? And if so - can it be done by an enthusiastic amateur or do you need to be a tech guru? I should add I don't mind paying if I need to buy a piece of commercial software to achieve this.

Did you even bother to search google for "smartphone backup" ? The very first link that comes up, takes you right to the software you say you need. I apologize for being harsh, but I hate the lack of common sense...
An option
Not sure about the cooked 6.1 Roms. Maybe someone else might know or have tried.
http://www.spritesoftware.com/
I use this and it's well worth it.
if u just mean the saved registry values and what not u can always export the registry so that way if u have to hard reset the phone or if a new amazingly wowlike rom is released and u NEED to flash u can always import the registry values of the chomes and it'll be the way u left it (thats what I do for my myfaves and my programs)

No problem, and you are entitled to your opinion. however its replies like that which stop people making posts to forums like this. Everyone has to start somewhere, and one man's obvious "common sense" answer is another man's dilemma.
As for using google... yep I could have done that but google links to hundreds of pages, some owned by people trying to sell software which obviously means they won't be objective. Others have methods which could damage a phone and because I don't know the writers how do I know which methods to trust? Ergo I decided to come to site I know, with people whose technical knowhow I trust, and to search the forum and then ask them for advice. To me, that is common sense. Isn't that one of the reasons that places like this exist? So non techheads can ask guys like you for help?
No offence intended and, for what its worth, you are one of the guys whose advice on this forum has helped me countless times. So thank you for that no matter what. Without your posts I'd never have got this far in the first place! I mean that.
As for the other replies... thanks guys. I will look into the registry stuff. And I will certainly check out the software link. If I do find some info on google, I hope you folks will help me pick the best method to use and avoid bad advice.
Thanks again.

Okay the Sprite software is perfect. And now I've checked it out maybe my question was a stupid one. Still, its nice to have a recommendation from an independent source. I've been burnt in the past by bad google advice.
Sorry if I've wasted anyone's time.

Hello Guys,
Finally, we have an almost working solution. A member has posted a .cab that changes your DPI from 131 to 96 DPI.
It works ! I have personally tested it myself. However, it still needs work done.
This looks great but it still needs some minor work done. If I do come across any solutions, I will keep you guys posted. If you guys come across anything, please post here so we can figure this one out.
Setup Instructions:
1) Run the WM6.1-131to96dpi.CAB file
2) when it asks for you to restart, do not restart.
3) Click Start, Accessories and run Command Processor, and click the "..." button.
4) Go to Menu, Browse Folder, and select the folder where you put the dpi.ccs file.
5) Now you will see the dpi file, and then go ahead and run it.
6) Wait for it go back to the homescreen and then reboot your phone.
Uninstall Instructions:
1) Start > Settings > Remove Programs
2) Select .CAB (131 to 96 dpi)
3) Click Remove Program
---------
Issues:
1) Programs in storage card - do not run OR files are missing
2) Rinku's Iconbar is slightly cut off from the bottom
3) Smart tool kits "start" button is misaligned
4) Wallpaper is slightly cut off from the bottom
5) NRG Miniweather - Date & Day are not properly aligned either
6) Pocket Nester Plus not working (maybe due to ROMs stored on storage card)
ATTENTION: PROGRAMS ON SD CARD ARE NOT WORKING, NOR ARE MY IMAGES FOR MYFAVES SHOWING UP. HOWEVER, STORAGE CARD SEEMS TO WORK.I UNINSTALLED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.
I am posting screenshots for you guys and I have attached the .zip (which includes .cab and dpi.ccs) for you to download. The experts out there, use this as foundation and see if you can fix it for our phones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. FOR NOW, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR ERASE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR DEVICE.
Credit goes to falleny for posting this .cab and pudgedaddy for instructions on how to fix dpi.ccs - Great Job!
Best Regards,
lukybandit
thanks for your updated screenshot...
try to delete lcd.ttf and plumsip5.dll from your windows folder
if it still have problem, i may ask the guy who make this cab
pudgedaddy said:
One thing i have a question with is how does this behave when using PIE or Opera Mobile or Opera Mini? or other applications such as games ?
Secondly, now un-installable is this app? If it's not something i want to use at this point, am i at the point of no return without hard-reset?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can sure this is safe and uninstallable...have a try, if u don't like it...just uninstall it...from your setting menu
aiight it works fine...if u have LCD installed and use medium or larger format in Opera it won't look right. and yea...other than that...seems to be working fine...another note.
dpi.css.zip has to be renamed to dpi.css and then in CeleCMD you have to make it so it can see all files then u can run dpi.css...at least that is what i did. and all works fine.
edit: Or that.
works great...few issues...the messaging icons are a bit messed up...in celetask the 'reboot, shutdown, etc' icons are a bit messed up...hmmm...picture viewer is acting funny....and i cant access folders on my storage card just the storage card itself.
What's the purpose of lowering the dpi?
Please Check Post 1
I have fixed the dpi file by renaming dpi.css to dpi.ccs as well as unzipped it into the ZIP folder in first post. Thank you pudge for the instructions
Now you can follow the instructions and it should work as shown but there are still some minor issues except one being major that is SD programs are not working. I don't know how to fix this. If anyone comes across any fixes, please post here.
another issue...PocketNesterPlus not working (ROMS are stored on storage card so that may be the issue) get :
Error
_____________________
can not open or Mapper not supported
Thank you, and thanks to everyone that worked on this. I have been waiting for this for a while.
I was going to install it earlier today but i was getting a corrupt message from the dpi.css; Im glad you updated it very quickly.
If anyone is running Rickywatts vanilla ROM, you can find the command processor in "My Tools". Just a heads up.
Dang it, that sucks cause I got guitar hero three on my SD card... What the heck...
this is a great day thank you for your hard work. I tried this myself but my WM kung-fu is lacking anyone else?
First of all, thanks to all the developers and researchers responsible for making this happen.
Second, I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
Is anybody else getting the same error and/or knows what should I do to get past it? I really want to try this...
BTW, my excalibur is app unlocked already (surreal networks app used).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
I really like the way this looks, but is there anything i can do to make the text a bit bigger?
Im running WM6.1 and the small text is somewhat hard to read.
Sorry guys if this is a repitive question, but what is the purpose of lowering the dpi? I have read post one Lukybandit, but it doesn't say what the benefit is.
Would someone mind posting a few reasons why this mod is desired?
Thanks.

Although i personally wouldn't recommend installing this at the moment ( issues with the storage card and alignment issues)
basically this works similarly to increasing your screen resolution on your PC.(minus the actual resolution changing) meaning it fits more stuff on your devices display since it shrinks down what is placed on your screen.

Hey,
Sorry, that post wasn't directed at you.
The only benefit I can see from this is what pudgedaddy said. By lowering the dpi, you are able to fit more things onto the screen and i guess it looks cleaner. Like that of a pc. I hope that answers your question.
That's great. Appreciate the info. Sounds like a fun mod. Will give it a try when you guys say it's ready .
man - great find. this would be so awesome if we can get the storage card isue working. the extra screen real estate is great for contacts, texts, damn near everything.
works as advertised and uninstalls perfectly.
Anyone have any progress with any of the issues? So far, I haven't been able to dig into it.
This thread is especially for people who showed deep interest in this project. I suggest you start testing, post feedback and try and find solutions since this has been made possible for those who wanted this.
Good Luck and Keep Us Posted.

Hi!
I'm willing to test it, but i can´t get around the problem i posted before:
"I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
I've already checked my phone's registry for any lock on the policies, but it's effectively unlocked, and other cabs/apps signed and unsigned install without any problem... BTW, I'm using Ricky's wm6.1 v23 ROM...
Can someone give me some help on this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance and cheers.
Ok, I've tried not to make a thread about it and read around and try things on my own, but I cannot figure out two things with my phone. Maybe neither can be done..
1- The way my Kaiser used to label pictures was yyyymmddhhmm_###.jpg
So the file would be something like 200906302055_045.jpg
I can't figure out how to make my TP2 do this. The pictures save as IMAGE_014.jpg as an example and that is unhelpful when you don't keep all your pictures on your phone and you're flashing, etc. Does anyone know if that is even possible?
2-I really like the TF3D text conversation window..Except that it doesn't update when someone messages me. So I have to leave the window and come back, kinda defeating the purpose of it for me. Is this normal or is it fixable?
Thanks for any information
