Is there some way to excise Internet Explorer from my Blue Angel? I don't like IE, never did, never use it, and use XPlite to remove it from WinXP as well. And is it so tightly integrated with the operating system that if it were to be removed I'd have a hard time getting other programs to run? Thanks.
it is into rom, if you made custom rom and remove ie files this is the only way, you can always delete ie shortcuts from \windows\start menu. There is no software like nlite for windows mobile
Thanks, xplode. I'll have to try that sometime. When I do, I'll come back to this thread and report my success/failure.
ok, i have read through the forums for a while and have not seen this posted anywhere.
I had the t-mobile dash rom on my phone for about 2 months and really wanted more memory.
the stock rom had about 9,000kb of memory when the phone would operate.
after i did what im going to explain it had about 18,000kb of memory.
this goes for anyone that may not want to install the HTC rom on their phone.
go to windows\startup\
create a folder named backup.
now move files: help, voice command, hotspot into the backup folder (i cant remember the exact names but you will see them)
that should do it.
i like the HTC ROM so far it is working fine for me.
i do have to test it more than 2 days though to actually make judgement.
another great thing about it is that so far i have reboot close to ten times to test the reboot cycle caused by the memory card and there is no reboot, atleast so far.
Just remove the file extension under startup for my5msgcenter to stop my faves from loading and disable voice command through the voice command application. I also deleted the homescreen registry setting for myfaves (to use my own homescreen). On boot I have 22,000kb+ free. DO NOT DELETE THE WIFIINIT FILE EXTENSION OR WIFI WILL NOT WORK. Afterwards startup should have only two files wifiinit.lnk and my5msgcenter. (no file extension). To re-enable my faves just add the .lnk extension back.
works great for me...
Great tip!
Very very usefull for who have T-mobile or T-mobile ROM.

This doesn't seem to work on WinMo 6 (I'm assuming you have 5). Suggestions?
I am with T-Mobile WM6 ROM, and this tip works just fine for me.
T-mobile ROMs are slowest, but this tip give speed.
You also can use http://www.oxios.com/memory/
This tool optimize memory and make windows faster.
Like every other win restarting time to time is not a bad idea .

im using wm6.
i belive i forgot to mention to use active sync to create the folders and move the files.
total commander may be able to do it through the phone.
Unfortunately, whether I move the files on the phone or using AS, it doesn't free up any memory for me. I'm very short on memory because I'm using Good Messaging to synch my work email (works like RIM). Can't NOT use Good, and it's a memory hog AND must run from onboard memory instead of SD card, so I never have any mem.
Oh well.
The subject here is the RAM memory - more RAM is more speed for your HTC .
Oxios works fine!
Lotie, try Oxio... worked fine with my S621

Hi guys, ive had my touch hd 3 days now and ive been riducled by everyone that i didnt go for a iphone, however ive spent alot of time on here and its plain to see that so much can be done and be added!
Now i gotta confess i dont know what a CAB file is, i dont know what ROM is, i dont know what this manilla is, so i hope you can see my probs!
During my 3 days ive managed to download the blackpad dialler and the hd tweak(altho they took me ages), but i wanna change the theme, the wallpapers, i wanna add apps like google maps etc..
I hope this thread will attract people who can help people like myself out and explain how to do stuff and where to go etc..
Btw how do i choose a downloaded song(synced via windows media) to be my ringtone? haha such a amateur!
Thank you for any help in advance!
have you read the wiki? that will help allot, helped me 2.
the wiki??? lol
a .cab is an install file you copy to your phone and then tap it to execute from like file explorer. most installs if they are exe you run them on you PC and they send a cab file to you phone through activesync. but if its a cab file just copy to you phone and execute. If you dont like it yoou can uninstall from eith the phone in Settings/System/Remove Program.. or from you PC on activesynce or mobile device center.
Where on the phone is file explorer? but thanx for the rest, actually makes sense, god im blonde!
where can i read about this wiki?
Its in programs.
Honestly, I would reccomend you go through your phone. Go into programs and see whats there. Then go into each of the settings options and see whats there.
Then learn the hierarchy of your phone memory.
You will see that it is similar to Windows.
The top directory will be"My Device" and under it will be "Storage Card" which is your memory card (similar to an external hard drive analogy for a desktop) and then you will see Program Files where programs are installed and My Documents contains the following folders and more:
My Videos where you videos you record will be saved
My Pictures
This is the wiki page - it's VERY helpful: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
And, the software wiki is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
You chose well. The Blackstone is an amazing bit of kit!
Keep in mind that it's basically a small computer with an aerial. Unlike the iPhone its not just a fancy phone.
Any computer needs a way for the user to tell it what to do... thats the operating system in the blackstone that's windows mobile (or winmo). You also need a user interface (ui) so you can tell it what to do. The HD uses touchflo 3d (tf3d). That's the front screen with all the tabs and clocks and stuff.
Like any computer... programs are installed to do different things. The dialers, sms, camera are all programs. This means you can install new programs to do things or overwrite programs to change what you already have.
These programs come in two main forms the cab file and the exe. The cab runs only on the phone and the exe will only run on the phone or your computer. There are lots of cabs to do lots of things. Download one that's interesting and run it.
Everything is stored in files on your blackstone. You can look through these files using file explorer... you will find that in your programs tab on tf3d. files are stored in folders. that means you can organise them the way you like.
The secret to the blackstone is to think about what you'd like to be able to do with it then search here or google to find a way... there usually is one.
I have read a lot of threads about the Touch Pro 2, but there are few that are meant for the AT&T version. Maybe we create a thread specifically for the AT&T version?
First off to flash your devide you need Hard-SPL. Thanks to the Olipro team!

Here is how to add new cities to the weather tab database. I take no credit for this as its copied from other available threads, but I thought I'd add it here since this was SUCH A PAIN IN MY ARSE to get working on the Tilt2.
Step 1) Download Total Commander or Resco File Explorer
Step 2) Go the Windows directory and copy the file called "2330fc3c_manila" to your SD card.
Step 3) In your SD card, find the 2330fc3c_manila file, and change its properties so that 'read-only' is UNCHECKED
Step 4) Copy 2330fc3c_manila back to you Windows directory
Step 5) Download the Weather Database Editor (WDE) cab (Version 1.20) and install onto your Tilt2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...0&d=1223638121
Step 6) Soft reset
Step 7) You can now use WDE to add cities!

How to get YouTube to work:
-The Youtube program is already installed, AT&T didnt link the exe.
Go to file explorer under the Windows folder, and scroll down to the 433kb YouTube file. Copy that and past it into your Windows -> Start Menu -> Programs or Apps or where ever you want the icon to be folder.
*Make sure you then go to Start -> Tools -> Proxy Manager -> Disable Proxy.

Freezing Problems
Is anyone else having freezing problems on their Tilt 2. Mine seems to freeze all the time.
Here are the apps I have installed in case one of them is creating the problem:
Microsoft My Phone
Microsoft .NET CF 3.5
Izaxo_SkiersApp
RESET_VegasPoolS
TheAs_ApMobile
Weath_WeatherBug
SlingPlayer Mobile
Microsoft Voice Command
Microsoft TagReader
Barguast Groovefish
Microsoft Windows(r) Marketplace
Also, Total Commander refuses to install on my Tilt 2
Just wondering if it is my Tilt 2, or if this is a common problem. By the way, I am still using the stock ROM
Thanks
I have error reporting enabled on my phone. I get an error saying some program rc.exe crashed. I have no clue what this program is, but it crashes 12 times a day. Maybe you have this program on your phone.
All the cabs in the following two posts work on my tilt 2 cooked with the AZTOR ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4740115&postcount=94
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4740269&postcount=95
Includes no curtains, background for all tabs, and some others.
Also freezing
My tilt 2 freezes about 5x a day. I just took a look at it and the time says 2am. its 4:52 here!!!!
it freezes when i go into landscape mode. It freezes if i x out of a program quickly and scroll on touch flo. It pretty much freezes if i do a few things at a time.
the only program i have installed is palringo and i know it freezed before i even had it.
Any suggestions? Stock att tilt 2 ROM here.
My T2 runs std ATT ROM and I have put a number of cabs into it. It does NOT freeze up. BUT, there is an issue with TF3D.
SPB MS3.5
SPB Wallet
SPB Weather
SPB Backup
NetCF3.5
Adv. Config
Snooze Fix cab/hack -- oversleep protection
Google Maps
Reg Edit
1% Battery cab/hack -- OCD fix
DisablePopUpKeyboard cab -- stops the insanity
key re-mapper cabs/app --- killer app
However, I turned TF3D OFF before I installed MS 3.5. because I wondered whether they would conflict. Sure enough, I can not get TF3D to come back to life. Not sure whether there is a conflict or not. Thought of perusing the SPB Forum and will likely do that later. EDIT: can not run two shells at the same time...TF3D and MS3.5. Can jump back and forth or pick and choose.
I have not really explored some of the stock programs and crap yet
Un-neccessary processes running!!
I deleted a bunch of stuff from the \windows\startup folder, but still have some processes running that I would like to kill but can't seem to find a reg entry or startup link anywhere. (I know, this seems like it could be a thread of its own!)
I have already removed the following with no noticeable difference:
BTTrayCE.lnk
DelWMPTempFolder.lnk
HTCStartUp.lnk
PKG.lnkpoutlook.lnk
MessageCSPtool.lnk
These processes still show up (using MemMaid) and don't seem to be needed for anything I do. Can someone weigh in on these?
1. Opera9.exe; How to stop from loading?
Are the following needed? If not, how to stop them from loading?
2. CommManager.exe
3. QuickGPS.exe
4. HTCIMSSvc.exe
5. RegistryCSPTool.exe
Thanks

IE as default browser
Does anyone know how to set IE as the default browser? I have the AT&T Tilt 2, WM6.5 factory ROM. I have a program that is not compatible w/ the Opera browser, and I think I like the ability to switch between the 2 variants (modes) (desktop & mobile) of the IE browser.
Thanks,

Dave, you need to install a program called Darkness 231 Opera default (something like that). I'll try to upload it later, but I'm about to head out to the football game.
Does anyone have a cab for Window Live Messenger only. I don't want to use all the Windows Live stuff, just the Messenger and it's not pre-installed on the Tilt2.
Remap PTT?
anyone have a remap cab for PTT? i'm running an energy Rom so there's no PTT remap option. If no cab, has anyone tried the old fuze reg edit? Does that work for the tilt 2? i'll try that out if there's no PTT cab.

I'm curious in your rom...I just bought my tilt 2, and I really don't like getting too far away from stock roms. I would only consider a ROM that still gives me all the stock functionality...but add some tweaks for use and speed...and keeps the stock ROM general look and stability.
Could you provide some feedback on your ROM vs stock in those areas?
Hey BennyJ71,
Thank you so much for your suggestion! I followed your advice. The CAB, although a Beta, seems to work fine. IE is now my default browser - Opera continues to operate normally.
Unfortunately, this did not solve my issue like I hoped it would. I am trying to use a SkyGuide program. It worked great on my Tilt. I never git it to work on my Fuze, and now I can't get it to work on the Tilt2.
Still, I very much appreciate your help, and I like the IE browser a bit better anyhow.

Search for the youtube fix, there is a registry edit required to get it working
any body have apps for touch hd like iphone?help..............
Hi there,
it depends really... what kind of apps are you looking for exactly?
Even though it is limited at the moment, have you tried going to Windows Marketplace apps store? some free apps there...
HDtweak is a must - Lets you fine tune many settings on the device. To install, just copy the cab file over to your phone when connected to your PC and run them like an .exe file from the file manager. Some are exe files. These will run on your PC and install onto your phone when connected by Activesync.
You can try his link also: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
Other than that, I would suggest you search the forum/google if you are in search of specific apps.
Regards.
