I'm going MAD!!!!

Hi everyone.. I'm going really mad!
I can't find cabs!!!
For days and days I was browsing theese forums and I've read a LOT of useful posts (along with useful cabs to change/add/fix something)
IE.. one for that damn 3g ico, one for wpa2, one for keyboard fix, the smsbackup, the dialer, the voice command and so on..
NOW I've flashed (again) a new os and I need all those fxxxxd cabs.. I can't find them (well..someone of them) with the "search" function!!!!
To MODS: Why don't we create a wiki page with the direct links to every useful cabs?? Or a sticky thread here with a list for every cab?

Why didn't you save the first time you banana head. Also you can create a wiki page too, don't need any moderators assistance.
Why don't you bookmark the threads or the posts when you found. Don't blame us cause you decided to flash. You found them once, use the search button to find them again

Some of the stuff is on the Extras wiki page so you might like to start there.

Banana head...buhwawa! Very correct.
People...save your cabs. on your SD and on your lappy or pc or mac or whatever you use. who knows when you'll need to handle up on some cab business.
Also don't complain...the wiki is there for everyone. You wanna see something on the wiki then wiki.

Why don't you click on the "attachement" icon on the sticky thread to check if there's any cabs you are looking for? As the others suggest, use the SEARCH option.

I have a few cabs in my sig.

It's True!
You can never get a cab when you need one.

the wiki can be edited by any member.. if you find something that is much needed then put it on the ftp (as long as it dont violate any of rules) and add it to the wiki with a link to it.

i also went ahead and made a hermes wiki page for carrier settings cabs.. Anyone feel free to edit this and add files
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs

Not more f'n stickies, there is already a larger list than on the main hermes sub, of crap I gotta scoll through every page, and Im sure Im not the only one who browses the forums mainly on their device.

Also, I got this idea a few years ago from someone when I first started messing with PPC's. When you find a cab that you will use again. Make sure you save it as "read only" that way is does not get deleted when you run it. I keep a folder on the storage card with a file labled cab's and back it up frequently. I must agree, It's sometimes difficult to find what I'm looking for when I do search. I love the fun of creating an interesting subject heading, but that does not help someone doing a search if the subject is inside jargon. Your subject heading will help no one down the line looking for the same info, even if you are pointed at the source for cab's in this thread.

If the guy doesnt even know how to save the damn cabs file on his computer or storage card, I'm wondering how did he manage to flash the phone to begin with.

I know how to download a file but no-one WANTS to save each "this could be useful someday" cab.. It is an UNUSEFUL THING and lead to confusion, requires maintenance (to always keep the latest version) and so on.
Everyone does backup his cab (if he uses, have used, or he's sure it will use them).
FTP each cab (and edit the wiki accordingly) IS a LONG operation to do now that could be avoided if MODS forbid to have post attachment.
Do you want to share a cab? OK.. put it in FTP, edit the wiki, and post here both links instead of attaching directly the file.

Hard Drive space is cheap and you should never count on someone else to make sure you will have the resources you want or need.
I have more Cab Files than I can count and don't plan to stop saving them.
Mods are here to moderate not rule over the users. This place is a community effort.
If you see a need then do something to fill it. You want a Wiki Page with useful Cab Files, start it and upload the cabs you do have as a beginning.
This discussion is going nowhere so I'm closing the thread.

Windows live search to google

Is it possible to change the live search on my today screen to a google search or something similar? If so any idea how?

So, I will resist getting too hot about this. I can see you must have done SOME homework based on your sig.
A simple Google search of the forums (which I convenently have linked in my sig) answers this question quite simply. Good luck.
By the way: the search terms were just "live search google".

Please learn to search... at the time of your post, the next thread down had a fix for that.

cheers fellas. was on bus and on way home from work and if I hadn't posted I would have forgotten about the default search annoying me by the time I got home to have a good old search. normally I make sure I check first before asking for fear of being ripped (which would be well deserved when the answers are easy to find)

Windows Mobile Live Search on Today

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to redirect the WM Live Search bar on the today screen to search using Google or any other site OTHER than the WM Live search.
Would the require a registry edit...?
Thought it would be more handy for me to use a different search engine on the today screen other than the WM Live one. Sorry if this has been posted up already but I searched and had no luck.
I'm using Faria's Custom V1 Rom with WM6 by the way.
Thank you in advance!

Ouch - I can see whats coming...

As in its not possible, too difficult, or I'm going to get attacked by a ridiculous number of forum members for not searching?

Argh.. sorry didn't see that one coming. Sorry everyone my fault!

HTCustom 1.4 also has a check box for this under the UI tab.

Man, you got off lucky.

lol sure did, we must all be in a good mood today. I'm not one for flamming, as I've been a stupid noob before, and sadly searching isn't an ingrained behavior in this generation. I know my kids are going to be googling before they can even speak, but that's not the case atm.

Try my change which is also listed in that wiki entry. It will allow you to have spaces in the search term.

Any way to change it to YouTube?

Yahoo search for two or more words
I'm trying to use the windows live search with
Yahoo!
"searchURL" {http://it.search.yahoo.com/search?p=}
and Yahoo! One Search for PDA
"searchURL" {http://it.wap.yahoo.com/p/search?p=}
but there is a problem with the search of two or more words... for example if I search:
WORD1 WORD2
it seems like it searchs
WORD1%u0020WORD2
Any idea to solve it?

Can you please help? I keep getting a pop-up warning (with this and the original search string) that "There is no application associated with {search string}. Run the application first then open this file from within the application. (where Search string is as defined in reg plus text that is being searched for.
Can you help? I have tried opening this search string from within PIE and it works quite OK. But that does not solve the problem.
EDIT: I HAD SOME OTHER PROBLEMS AND DECIDED TO HARD-RESET. ISSUE SOLVED SO I GUESS I HAD SOMEHOW CORRUPTED THE REGISTRY. I SUSPECT THAT UNINSTALLING OPERA CAUSED THE PROBLEM.

Forum search

Is it working? mine doesn't return any results.

mine neither!

Its defo broke!

yep, no more searching here either...

I think I broke it, I did a search for "install Vista on Pocket PC" then it stopped working...

Not to worry I found what I was looking for.
Thanks.

yep, very few results when searching. not very useful that way :-/

Any prevision when it will be fixed??

Yes, I just did a search and it only returned results going back to Feb. 11. It is a topic that has definitely been discussed prior to that. Guess I'll wait and hope it gets fixed.

http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_se...-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&as_qdr=all

i sent this to the feedback form on the site many moons ago, but apparently nobody has taken notice.
Has anyone else noticed this??
If you are not logged in,
The quick search (click search so the box comes up with "show threads", "show posts", and advanced search options) is pointless.
If you try top search with it, you will alwasy receive an error. Because you have to answer the no spam question via the advanced search page. Whats the point of having the quick search in this case?
I propose the admin either gets rid of quick search (have it go right to advanced search), OR add a box in the quick search for the spam question .. for guests that aren't logged in.
I know it has frustrated me more than once!!
thanks for listening

Hi Guys,
We switched the search function on 12-02 as posted in news.
Could you give me some feedback on if this improved the search or not?
Concerning the nospam issue it should only be an issue for unregistered or not logged in users, if you have problems as a logged in user please let me know asap.
Greetz,
Flar

as just posted in the thread in news: search has been switched back too fulltext boolean which is what we we're using before, we're looking into other alternatives..
Greetz,
Flar

Ahh, great, thkx a lot for fixing it

Thanks for switching it back. It's much easier to find things again.

Ditto to the two opinions above me.
My opinion on other search options:
I frequently also use google site search to find posts on XDA.... I find it works very well for me (so well I have set up a keyword shortcut in firefox. All I hvae to do is type "xda " and the terms i am looking for in the address bar, and hit enter.)
this is what i used to type into the google box when I did it manually:
site:forum.xda-developers.com the keywords your looking for
This is especially true when I am looking for terms less than 3 characters, the normal search won't work.
Maybe you guys should consider offering direct access to a google site search in addition to the boolean?
(( An example is how Webmasterworld does it. They go two steps further with a yahoo and MSN. In fact, 3rd party is their only search system:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/searchform.cgi
))

well the forum search was working good for me yesterday..and today all i get is the Google search "Search XDA-Developers using Google" choice.. i like the older forum search..
am i doing something wrong?

ha! I thought they would use my suggestion in addition to, and not in place of, the normal search.
But just to confirm w/ the poster above me .. yes it seems that is the only search option now, your not doing anything wrong.

I dont mind using google search, in general it can find topics on here pretty good, but it has limitations.
For example, if the site search is turned off, you cant search individual threads. Some threads on here get VERY big, and without the "search this thread" function there are going to be plenty of questions asked and answered multiple times in each thread, which leads to annoyed people saying the question has already been answered, etc.
With that said, I really do hope the site search does come back for this reason.

i concur for the same reasons. +1 vote for that

how to make google default search in tf3d ?

i was wondering if there is a reg edit to get rid of that stupid bing search and default it to google so when i go to the browser tab it will bring up google in the search instead bing thanks for your help.

yeah, that bing serach is pissing me off as well! I miss the old windows live search my touch had.

look at next post

So I have no idea what the previous guy just posted.... I have the ATT Tilt 2 with Windows 6.5, and here's what I did.
Using PHM Registry Editor:
Goto: \HKCU\Software\HTC\Manilla
Modify: InternetSearchUrl
Original: http://us.m2.yahoo.com/w/onesearch?.tsrc=attosus&p=%s&first=1&submit=oneSearch
ModifyTo: http://www.google.com/m?client=ms-opera-mobile&channel=new&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=%s
The ModifyTo search string is basically what Opera uses when you do a search from it's search field.

Thanks, this is a handy mod.

thanks for the help guys.

dude your the man the reg hack worked awesome now i just wish it could be the full google and not mobile hmm?

So if you want, just goto www.google.com, search 'tmpString', copy the redirected address that it takes you to. From there, replace 'tmpString' in the address with '%s'.
well.. here:
ModifyTo: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=%s&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
EDIT: had to modify the link because my original was linked to iGoogle.

can some body please post up the verizon tp2 link or reg for the stock bing search google mobile sucks and i cant get the full version to pull up the search for me. thanks

help please!

NOTE!!!! Don't type in the link as you see it typed in this board! Type in the URL address based on what you see it linking to! This board interprets it as a url and shortens the actual string with the "..". Mouse over and copy the link or copy link to notepad to see what is really there.

Ok I must be missing this how do you find the Google search address for the search tab in touchflo?

I have the Verizon Imagio and changed InternetSearchUrl to "http://www.google.com/m/search?q=" no quotes of course. Works perfect. Thanks people!

So basically all this does is redirect you to the google search page? I was thinking it would take you to search results not the search page did I do something wrong?? (BTW the address isn't quite correct needs a forward slash in place of the question mark after the m couldn't figure that stuff out for the life of me lol)

...and here's a .cab containing that setting. No need to use any registry editor; just run the .cab
( created this using my web app, http://supware.net/CabGen/ )

to switch mine to google.com all i did was opened up my browser, went to google.com, opened up the settings page, then the start page, and selected "Use Current" for the start page and wala. Presto.
