Good Mobile on Dash

I have tried to install the Good Mobile messaging application on the S620 and the installer identifies the phone incorrectly. So the functionality of the Good Mobile messaging is not like it should be. The installer seems to only understand what type of phone it is if it returns the "T-Mobile Dash" words from the ROM. is there a way to modify the ROM Name even temporarily so that the app will install.(crazy idea but thought i would ask)
any help would be greatly appreciated.

There's a text file: \Windows\ModelName.txt, that you can copy out of the handset, edit and drop back in. At the prompt to overwrite, say yes. Should take care of it.
~Cheers~
P.S. Here it is attached.

That's an excellent suggestion... but I how do i get the file deleted? it's read-only and it won't let me change that....
cgg

You just drag it into the window and click ok to overwrite it. It'll do it AND add the appropriate attributes automatically.
~Cheers~
P.S. By window, I mean, open up My Computer, open Mobile Device, and navigate to the Windows folder.

If it doesnt let you overwrite it from your desktop, try doing it on the device with a thirdparty file program, like totalcommander or similar, just put the edited file in the root directory, and copy it and paste it on the device itself.

I had to dl'd the TotalCommander to get the file changed. Thanks for the suggestion!
Still doesn't seem to solve the problem. The information being retrieved from the phone must still be returning something other than T-Mobile Dash

I was able to have it replaced without issue, and straight from the desktop. Weird how you guys had to use an app to do it.
~Cheers~

Did you ever get GOOD to work? I am on WM6 and can't get the OTS installer to work on my device. Do I need to go back to WM5? How do i do that?

i could be wrong but i don't think good officially supports WM6 yet.

Thanks for the tip about the file, now my phone has got it's original name.
Ka.

Yah GOOD does not work on WM6
I had to go back to WM5 for GOOD to work, and now it works great with my companies exchange server. There are some things i don't like, but i can live. Does anyone have any different themes or homepages that are compatible with the GOOD software?

problem making shortcut with dashconfig JOGGR

Quick question, i tried to make a .lnk of deepfish in my storage card and remap the Tzone button...it doesnt work....i tried different paths:
\storage card\program files\deepfish\deepfish.lnk
this doesnt work
even if i put in the root like \deepfish.lnk
...doesnt work and gives me an error...what im doing wrong here?
btw im having wm6 and the link does work when i click it with explorer if that helps.
i came so far as:
Remapping Keys and Text Input
How To Edit the Keyboard Link
Download http://vieka.com/wordpad.htm Vieka WordPad.
Sync your phone to your PC.
Run CE Notepad on your computer and open any of the following files:
T-Zones Button: "\Windows\Short_IE.lnk"
***Second Method if you have Total Commander, this can be done on the Dash directly.
Navigate to \Windows\Short_IE.lnk
Edit it (to one of the suggestions below for instance), save and reboot.
Recommended Remaps
CommManager: 36#"\windows\CommManager.exe"
Task Manager: 19#\Windows\IA_Task_Manager.exe?:TaskManagerApp
Internet Explorer: 36#"\windows\iexplore.exe"
i dont get the numbers b4 the links.....

Why are you using .lnk? Shouldn't it be .exe if you are using it from your directory and not from Windows Start Menu? Try this exactly as I type it.
36#"Storage Card\Program Files\Deepfish\deepfish.exe"
in your DashConfig. You must use the number 36# because it assigns the hotkey button; in this case the T-Zone button. I believe 19# would be the Mail hotkey. I hope it helps.

The path should have a forward slash before Storage Card\Program Files\Deepfish\deepfish.exe.
I was wondering why he was trying to call up the program via shortcut.

This is why:

According to the link of the tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281289
'Here is a utility I wrote that will let you change almost all of the JOGGR settings on the phone. It will also let you change the apps that launch when you press the Camera key and the T-Zones key. The app shortcuts must be in the shortcut file format because I didn't know enough about the Windows CE LNK format to simply let you pick an EXE.'
Guess u guys r right and he didnt update the link.
thanks anyway for the help and quick response

Guys! we need a coherent install that works for Touchflo

There are alot of "guides" to getting Touchflo on your Hermes. All of them not too easy to follow. problems / bugfixes are hard to find info on i.e. solve.
Please can someone put together a comprehensive easy to follow guide?
Ta...

download this cab and install.
go to file explorer and the go to my device page.
now open program files.
now open FTouchFlo file.
Cut FTouchFlo (NOT FTouchFlo Config File).
Back up to dir my device and open windows dir.
now open startup file.
now paste FTouchFlo File here.
Now copy FtouchFlo File and go back to the file you cut FTouchFlo from
and paste a shortcut there.
once this is done open config file and adjust the delay like you want to.
once this is done soft reset and enjoy touch flo scrolling only.
cube i am still working on but no luck at this time.

I followed your instructions to the letter on my Tytn Hermes200, and on start up after a SR I get a error. It says...
FTouchFlo Error
Can't read configuration
You said this...
Now copy FtouchFlo File and go back to the file you cut FTouchFlo from
and paste a shortcut there.
I tried placing a Shortcut in the programs FTouch folder AND I also have a COPY of the file in there now, and I get the same error !
You said this...
once this is done open config file and adjust the delay like you want to.
I think this has something to do with it, right? I do not know the setting to change or what value to make it work in the note file. Can you please tell me?

when you edited the config file you probibly saved it as a word file instead of keeping it intact, which would result in that erro
reinstall it and when you go to save the file dont save it as a word file, keep it intact.

Awesome work. Very easy to do and works well. I no longer have to use Pocket CM!

Hi, i tried to use Slither's Cube Launcher with Schaps RC 4.0 Version. This Cube launcher uses FTouchFlo too.
Didn't work, because the Path to AdobeFlashLite doesn't exist in Schaps ROM (But it's inside the ROM)
Reason: No File exists
DownUpApp: /Program Files/Adobe/FlashLite/saplaywm.exe
So I installed Adobe Flash Lite 2.1 as a cab and then it does work, but it only opens the "Cube" which has no function. Buttons do not work and doesn't rotate.
Has somebody tried to use Slither's Cube with Hermes? Does anybody have a working Config file?
I like the app, because i lost my stylus and FTouchFlo is working well, but Cube as addon would be great.

This is a timely thread. I too have tried to install touchflo and got nowhere fast.
So someone coming along and offering simple, bullet proof instructions is a godsend. Thank you sir!
I will try this later; just trying to decide whether to move roms to schaps 4.0 or not. Decisions, decisions...

The only file I saw that was able to be edited was mentioned in the instructions here....
Cut FTouchFlo (NOT FTouchFlo Config File).
So i DID NOT EDIT or move THE CONFIG FILE. I only looked in it after I got the first error as the instructions seem to mention changing the delay responce time.
Am I missing something else here? I am sorry if it is obvious but I am just not seeing it.
Thanks

The movement of the .exe file to the startup folder is obviously so it starts automatically everytime you reset.
This can also be achieved by using MemMaid (add a startup link it's straightforwards in the software) or by creating a shortcut in Resco Explorer. This way you dont need to move the original file yet still get the automatic start.

I like to TouchFlo cab, but it seems to make my HTC Camera Album not function 100%. Am I the only one? So I've kept iContact, as it dosent mess with Camera Almun and I love the way it scrolls.
If I could get TouchFlo to work and not mess with any of my other apps I'd love to keep it.

I have no such a problem, even though I did not even put a HTC Camera Album to be ignored by the fTouchFlo. You can try to edit the fTouchFlo config by adding HTC Camera to the ignored apps list. Let us know the result...

UPDATE!!! Directions = WORKS a TREAT:-D
Sorry guys, and THANKS for all your HELP! I just removed FTouchFlo ver 1.3 (was using as it worked good for me and didn't get around to installing the latest), and installed the latest Version 1.4. Followed the instructions as I did before and WORKS A TREAT 1st SR!!! YA! This is a great tip .
Thanks for all!
Gem
FTouchFlo Ver1.4 ONLY works this way! Note to others who may have older versions

Hey guys i edited the cab file.
You just need to install it and do a soft reset..
After this TouchFlo should be working on your hermes rom!
For me it works on my own rom

Hi Pay87, I would want ask You if your TouchFLO cab it's customizable like on Schap's 4.22 ROM.
Thank's.

Increase SMS box size in touchflo ?

Along my travels of reading thousands of posts in hundreds of threads I seem to remember reading about a tip to increase the viewable box size of SMS messages in touchflo.
Ive tried searching using all the keywords I can think of but have come up blank. I cant remeber if it was even in the Blackstone section.
Im using mun_rus's SMS zoom tool and if I get a large text message I cant always see it all.
Can anyone help please ?

U are using mine mod for diamond) Coz of bigger screen resolution u getting cut bottom I'll make such mod for HD also

Yep, your mod works good but as you said it cuts the bottom off.
Is it possible to make it remeber the zoom settings so they stick?
Also gona use your Background4alltabs if/when you fix it to work with analogue clocks (Cant give up my big Xperia clock).

In the \Windows folder, edit the file thread_sms.htm.
Look for a line that has the text Height=35. The 35 represents a height of 35 pixels.
You can increase the number as you like. For have three line the right value is 75.

how can you edit the thread_sms.htm file? I found it but doesnt give me the option to edit!
I tried looking for it connected through my laptop but Windows folder is hidden and no matter what I do i cant seem to find it!

copy to sd with your mobile file explorer, edit from sd with windows , copy it back

yea tried that but it wont let me copy it back to the Windows folder!
the file in the Windows folder wont allow me to delete it either! hmmmm

Ive copied it to the SD card and my laptop and unless Im blind there appears to be nothing in it.
The file size is 851 Bytes. Is that right ?

yea thats the file... i copied it onto my desktop, changed the file to open with Notepad and changed the height value to 75.
saved it, changed it back to open with IE then copied it back to SD then tried to replace the file with the existing one... but it wont allow me!

Same problem here, tried all ways. Installed Resco Explorer to get the result. SMS is now much more friendly, thanks for the tip lucarp78.

Hell yeah! Thanks for the tip, exactly what I wanted.
Tip: Use Total Commander and edit the file from the mobile!

When I copy it to my SD card with TC and open it, it opens in Opera and all I can see is a black bar across the top.
How did you edit it on your phone please?
What program did you use to edit it?
Thanks

The easiest way is to use Total Commander. Select properties for the file and remove the Read-Only check. Then edit the file as mentioned earlier and save it. Set the Read-Only property again and reset.
If you want to copy the file to your PC and edit it there, remember to remove the Read-Only property before you copy it back again (either using explorer, Resco Explorer or TotalCommander) otherwise you are not allowed to overwrite it. Hope this help.

Is there any chance someone would be kind enough to put up a copy of the thread-sms.htm file or cut & paste the contents in a thread.
I dont know how but Ive manage to mess mine up royally.
Thanks

I said I used Total Commander. Google it and download. Then look up where the file is in your windowsfolderand. Then you should manage the rest.

I have Total Comander already installed. When I asked how did you edit it, I mean what program as it opens auomatically with Opera and shows nothing. I managed to get it open once in Notes and edit the line but that didnt seem to work.
I went back to the windows folder and now it comes up with an error. When I look at the file on my works pc there is only about the first 6/7 lines in the file?

The clear up any confusion (because the previous guys who have posted haven't exactly been clear!)... if you simply "open" the file... by clicking or double clicking it... then it will simply "open" in a program designed to open that type of file.
As the file you're trying to edit is a webpage (.htm) then it will "open" in a program designed to "display" webpages... like Opera or IE!
You don't need to "open" the file.... you need to "edit" it.
In Total Commander, click the file once to highlight it, and then select "File" > "Edit" from the bottom menu of Total Commander.

If you've messed up your file... may I suggest you delete it from the Windows folder (using Total Commander).
It will look like it's doing something, but then the file will still be there... as when you delete a file that is originally stored in the ROM, it gets immediately replaced with the original from the ROM!
Then copy the file to your My Documents folder, click it to highlight it, click "File" > "Properties" from the bottom menu of Total Commander, and untick the "Read Only" attribute & click OK.
Edit as above, and click "File" > "Save".
Copy that file back to the Windows directory by clicking "File" > "Copy/Move", click "Tree", highlight "Windows", click "OK", click "Copy"... click "Overwrite" if prompted!

Thanks Sidepa, thats exactly what I wanted to know. Im still getting to grips with TC but its thanks to the help of this community im slowly learning.
After all that though, it still hasnt solved the problem of increasing the text box size. It may be a manilla file that needs editing in mode9 maybe. Hopefully mun_rus will come up with something as hes gona look at getting his diamond app to work on the HD.

Works for me in all input modes. Here is the modified file. Keep a copy of your original for safety then overwrite with this one.
