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.

Hey Guys i found this link in the titan forum and i have installed and used this piece of software on my TYTN, it works 100% and it is BRILLIANT!!
I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY CREDIT AT ALL FOR THIS, I HAD NO INPUT INTO THE DEVELOPEMENT, THAT WAS SOLEY DOWN TO emunutz (HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAM - NOT ME, OTHER THAN FOR MY FIXES)
I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308
My Fixes:
FIX 1
Description: HTC Home FIX!
Error Description: When using ANY HTC Home Plugin, i found the following graphical error:
ill use the home tab as my example, when it is not selected, it is dull and transparent, and when you select it it gets a grey box around it and the icon image becomes lighter, this happens with all icons appart from the music note and the contacts tab
FIX:
i have fixed the images so that when they are selected they react the same as the others.
TO USE:
Extract then copy the Original Icons Fixi have attached into the following folder replacing the ones in there:
HTC HOME Customise\HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original
Then apply the "Original" Icon Set.
FIX 2
Extract then copy the Transparent selected file to:
HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\bg\Original Semi-Transparent
And it will make the Grey selection Box that appears around the selected tab Transparent!
My Packages/Upgrades:
1) Original Icons 3D Style
To Have The 6 Tab Icons In 3D Download Original 3D Icons inside the zip you will find 2 folders "Original" & "Original 3D"
The "Original 3D" folder has the new icons in it, copy these icons to:
HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original
Then select the "Original" icons from the Software.
If you decide to go back to the normal (non 3D) "Original" Icons, copy all of the files in the "Original" folder from "Original 3D Icons.zip" and copy them to the directory above, then select the "Original" icons from the Software.
FIX
Reserved For More Fixes/Upgrades

I didnt realize! Mainly because i contacted the OP if the thread in the Titan Forum and he told me that it was his software and he was devoloping it.
I offered to have a play with some of the griphics and he asked that if I did anything could i post it on his thread so he could add it to his package.
Firstly i was looking for things that needed improvement and i released these 2 fixes, posted them in the Original thread and here so everyone could benefit
Thanks bennec83. Just a quick question. Does this work with the HTC Home 3 tabs version? I rather like the 3 tabs version as it is more finger friendly.
thanks for the effort

In theory (and we all know how accurate theory is) it should work with the 3-tab except for the tab order setting, as long as the version you are running installs to either \Windows or \HTCHome.
Another option would be to install the 6-tab version, run the customizer, and in the tab order setting you can select how many tabs and what order you want them in (which means you can display only 3 if you would like, and in any order you choose).

I tryed that and it didnt work, i have the 6 button kaiser home plugin, and it installs to \HTCHome, i used the customiser to change the order if the tabs and NOTHING happened.
I have been so bogged down with other stuff i didnt get a chance to message you!
Any clues?
thanks
You'll need a 6-tab cab that supports the tab order setting. In my thread, toward the bottom are RapidShare links for cabs that fully support all settings for the customizer for WM5 and WM6, including tab order.

I am having the custom weather database "Unable to retrieve weather" problem. I read the thread in the Titan forum, but could not resolve it and the linked N2A thread. I am using the cab file from that thread, not the Pocket Hosts method.
I am in the US, so I run the customizer (which completely rocks btw) and enter my city, zip code and USA for country. I get the cannot connect error. I read the post about switching to alternate connection, navigating to htc.accuweather.com, etc. but I do not actually know wtf is meant by switching to alternate connection? You mean wifi v. gsm connection??? I do get the error page "You have reached an inconfigured webpage..." when I navigate to htc.accuweather.com on any connection. (My city is on accuweather's US site, but not on the international site. That is, after all, the point of this customization, right?)
Any help appreiated - thx.

OK OK! I did read the first other thread. Thought you might know.
I would like to know if there is any way to get out the items from the today screen maintening the TouchFlo 3D.
I mean that in the "Start\Settings\Today\Items" you have selected just TouchFlo 3D and you can't choice others plug-in togheter with this, if I need one different plug-in I have to switch off the TouchFlo 3D getting the original Today of Windows Mobile where I can put what I need.
For example "Skype, Windows Live, Owner Info, etc...
Thank you for your suggestions, ciao.
There is any way to put plug-in in TouchFLO 3D?
Thank you and CIAO...
Unfortunately not at this point. You may want to use the search facility, this question has been asked quite a few times. As a rule, you should not open a new thread until you thoroughly researched and are sure your question hasn't already been answered.

Most importantly, what does this have to do with rom development... Search and read!!
Right, im using Itjes 13.2 rom. Its fast & basically all i want in a rom.
However, i want/need to have the next 5 appointments on the today screen like on previous roms.
It literally sorts my life out everytime i look at my phone.
Now however, with the newer version of Manilla i cant get more thn 1 appointment showing on the today screen?
I have searched & posted numerous times about this but cant find a solution & saddly i aint got the technical ability to sort it myself.
I have used the Smaberg cab (just removes the appointments completely from today screen), & also replaced the .dll file from another rom i have used - sadly neither work.
So can anyone point me in the right direction to find a solution ?
Or is it simply not possible with this new version of Manilla (2.1 i believe) ?
Thanks in advance
Hutchy007
I've also posted over in HTC Pedia without any success yet
i'm looking for this too and saw your thread over at htcpedia as well. forget about changing reg-keys and advanced config. this is configured somewhere in 1c684cd8_manila.
i'm at a dead end here after comparing the content from v13.2 with the one which gives you more events. next step, if i get to it, is search xda-devs (especially topaz- and rhodium-forums) and the web, if there's a newer file out. do the same, pls?
or someone who figured it out reads this thread and posts the file.
Guess we're goosed caliban2. Over 130 views & no solutions - just gotta hope its fixable on future releases of manilla !

seems that way, at least for now.
problem is htc changed the manila-file... it's only half the size, has different and less lua-scripts in it, that's why the old file doesn't work anymore.
i couldn't figure out so far from where this part of the home-screen is managed in manila 2.1.
needs someone with real coding-skills to do this, but the usual suspects are awefully quit on this.
Check this out, i think thats what u need.

the one for manila 2.1 has about 67 kb in size.

Fix for showing multiple appointments on Today screen
I found this when searching - it worked for me.
To set options for displaying appointments on the Today screen
If you have a large number of appointments, you may want to specify the kind of appointments that are displayed on the Today screen.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Today.
2. Tap the Items tab.
3. Select Calendar and tap Options.
4. Do any of the following:
• Select Next appointment to show only the next appointment in your schedule, or Upcoming appointments to show multiple appointments.
• Clear the Display all day events check box if you do not want to display all-day events.
try tf3d tewak tool maybe this could help ya
Come on then peeps.
Someone must have had a dabble at forcing the appointments onto the today screen in the new Manilla.
Again, you will recieve my undying love for this fix. It really makes my phone perfect.
Many thanks,
Hutchy
Is there a cab to get 15 min increments instead of 30 on appointment times? I hate it when I have to work at 8:45 and have to put 8:30 just so I'm not late...
Hi just a little thought, every year HTC bring out numerous devices, and also XDA's index gets a whole lot bigger, and models harder to find like the old way of just scrolling to the model.
Could xda not split the models?
eg. models pre xda diamond into a subforum like classic.xda-developers.com
as my fingers starting to hurt scrolling with the mouse, and its conflicting pain upon a human being
thanks
why not just use the search feature
yes i know theres a search feature, but im trying to make things easier, all i want is to scroll to latest models (which happen to be at end of the list) i'm not gonna use search feature just to type in touch hd2 and a whole lotta topics/posts come up, i'd use that if i wanted to find something specific.
this is how it should be: click xda dev, scroll to phone, enter subforums. easy.
now its: click xda dev, scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll look scroll look scroll look scroll, find, enter subforums.
Yep, there is a newly created search box on top right to go straight to the forums you wish.
Perhaps a 'favourites' would be a good idea though, so you only see the sections you've selected.
i just would like to also say, the new search thing is ugly at top, looks like its been thrown together quite quickly. maybe like sh500 says favourites or even a couple of drop downs instead of teh new search.
drop down1:
Win mobile - activates [1]
Android - activates [2]
drop down 2:
[1]win mobile models
[2]android models
or even better, be able to hide any forums, and it will remember your hidden/shown settings through username.

It's really not that much of an issue when you use plugins to make your surfing easier...

Why dont you create a new xda-forum for Pre-Windows Mobile deivces?
So creata a domain of: prewm.xda-developers.com
'jump to device' search box is working perfect, i dont feel need for any "improvements" , separating models to different pages/domains will make things worse and harder to navigate. maybe it is possible to make per user option in control panel to hide unwanted subforums from index page, but i am not sure how would it affect site server load.
can't it just be changed so it goes new phones to old phones at the bottom instead of vice versa?
The XDA forum redesign is launching soon. We'll have several ways to make it much more easy to navigate the forum index. This was a core focus of the redesign

Jump to device search on top is OK for PC, but it's not that easy at phone, especially if you have no-js opera mini.
And browsing xda with phone is nigthmare because index page is loading for ages.
