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.

A simple reg hack will let you search google instead of windows live.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)-Services-Windows Live-HSAppPlugins
change searchURL to http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=
someone please post the settings before the hack i forgot to write it down incase i want to change it back.
your welcome
the original value is....
http://mobile.live.com/search/results.aspx?=
nice diggin =) think ill try to get it do the swedish search instead
The URL is: http://mobile.live.com/search/Results.aspx?q=
The above is what is in the registry!!
While the search page is at:
http://m.live.com/search/default.aspx?mkt=en-us
and Home is at:
http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc/default.aspx?mkt=en-US
Simple
thanks for the great hack! god knows the default search was horrible
Live search is simply you type a query and it opens up PIE with Live search...you can accomplish the same thing by just open up PIE and have google set as the default home page. I don't use Live search..just the messenger part Thanks for this great info.
I figured this out months ago, and posted in on HoFo...

i added this to the wiki, and am going to lock the thread
I felt it was appropriate to re-open this thread. There have been issues with the original url not correctly handling search terms with embedded spaces. I've got what may be a fix to this. Try the following URL:
http://www.google.com/pda?hl=en&q=
This seems to work for me. Hows it working for everyone else?
wow austinsync I thought you were only good at flaming noobs! Nice work..

nope... i searched "austin bbq" as test (and because i'm hungry and want som BBQ!!) and PIE opened up with this in the search box: "austin%u0020bbq"
Doesn't work for me either. It does open up PIE and puts the given search query in the google searchbox, but doesn't directly show the search results. For that, I need to press search again.
Weird.
I also wonder, if it's possible, to display Google Search on the desktop instead of Live Search.
Regards,
DM
thank you, this works great!
thank you, this works great!
cab?
can someone be so kind to make a cab file for the reg fix? Makes it a lot easier every time we switch roms
This URL works great for me.
http://www.google.com/m/search?output=xhtml&source=mobileproducts&mrestrict=xhtml&q=
It is also in the wiki
Does anyone know if it's possible to change "Live Search" to "Google Search" ?
There is a search plugin lifted from the treo700 that defaults to google. look in the treo700 rom dumped thread in the development and hacking forum. It works well but doesn't allow SIP input. You need to have the keyboard opened to use it.
I can make an installer if anyone's interested.
Interested.... Thnxs in advance..

On my latest WM6 ROM, I have cooked a working google URL into the live search today item. Embedded spaces work just fine. This is a major WM6 update btw. If you're interested in upgrading, here's a link to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308019
modaco has a nice fix for it.
http://www.modaco.com/TotW-Live-Search-Google-t255032.html
works without any problems.
Hi - this might not be specificially related to the WM6.1 update - but I hope I can gain some insights.
I used to stream a particular radio station from my phone. It is obvious that the site was not really designed for pda/phone use but it worked soso despite the site graphics/buttons not displaying well in the mobile browser ... the streaming was choppy but OK. I am not sure this is a problem with their site or with my device (Dash) - since other sites stream OK, and this site streams OK from other devices and PCs.
But recently the page for the streaming site glitches out such that I cannot navigate or get the stream started. Might be a browser setting or something else. I can't tell.
Anyway - I was hoping someone here using WM6.1 and the included IE browser could give it a try and lend some insights.
Here is the bookmarked URL that I use, that used to start the audio directly:
http://gateway.andohs.net/player/?sid=5864&nid=2920
Alternatively, you can start here: http://www.ksfo.com/article.asp?id=53139 and click to 'start live audio'
I'd be interesting in know if anyone here can see the page and/or get the streaming working - particularly on a WM6.1 T-Mobile Dash, but also on another device (as a reality check).
Depending on what others see, we can discuss whether this is just me, or something quirky with the WM6.1 browser or something else.
Thanks!

I have never in my life posted anything profane online, but Perry, ... Holy Sh*t ... how in the world did you find that link? I've been emailing those guys forever and no one ever replied.
OMFG - my life just improved immensely! I've spend the better part of 2 months trying to get bluetooth stereo working with my streaming sites for my daily run ... now I can listen to one of my fav radio stations again.
Thanks so much! Profanity was definitely warranted here ; )
Another Site ?
Well, I might as well push my luck.
ANother streaming site - different problem
http://www.kfox.com/pages/streaming.html
the browser brings up the site with a message that says something like "Flash lite player play back flash files that are created for mobile devices"
Any solutions, insights or alternatives?
Thanks again!
Try this one, I think it's KFOX (KUFX):

Well, happy to help :^)
For this one I brought up the player in the URL you provided, then right-clicked on the 'Play' button to get the link properties. These stations often use reflectors or other indirection, so you need to get as close the the music as you can to start poking around :^)
My own personal quest was similar a few years ago, trying to get WMVY to stream.
Enjoy!

thanks - that was a nice try but something is amiss. Apparently KFOX also goes by KUFX ... but when I click directly on the radio station's site their special player says a specific song is playing (and the song is playing). When I click on the URLs you clipped or on that usliveradio site - the KUFX link brings me to a windows media player that actually plays video - and certainly not the song the radio station is currently streaming.
The search continues.
Thanks for the help! And I definitely want to encourage more help!

I use The Mobile Stream Center for all my radio streams. I use TCPMP to save the link in a playlist so I can have all my favs in just a click It list all streams available in the 50 states.
I am not sure how this helps the thread. If the specific radio station I want is not on the list, then my problem still remains.
I was hoping someone could offer another "miracle solution" like the first radio station I listed (they somehow were able to extract the URL in a different way that worked like a charm on the Dash). This other station - just as popular - seems to pose more problems.
The other station is: KFOX in San Jose (actually the real call letters seem to be KUFX) http://www.kufx.com/cc-common/streaming_new/index.html
Thanks.

Perhaps you should have looked and saw how it helps the thread It is listed 98.5 KFOX (KUFX) [San Jose, Classic Rock], and it has a PDA only stream (WMP), which means load it in your Dash and play away. By the way the other station is listed as well 560 KSFO (KSFO) [San Francisco, News/Talk] in both PDA (WMP) and MP3 streams.
Like Isaid, I use TCPMP, Windows Media has problems with some streams that I have never had with TCPMP (in options/ file assoc on TCPMP make sure you select HTTP and MMS).
yeah, you're right ... that link probably helps a lot of people - just does not solve the current problem-link that I was posting here. Thanks.

You know, as the OP, I have to again thank this community. At least with the KSFO station, I am just a happy camper listening while I run etc on my Dash. This forum has really saved me so much heartache and in this case added some productivity and enjoyment to my Dash use. Thanks again! (now, if I can only get KFOG working, my life would be perfect ; )
KUFX (KFOX) from thestreamcenter.com works on my Dash. It's down toward the bottom of the CA list.
Is that what you meant by KFOG or are you really looking for KFOG?

The url in the address bar is: http://www.kfox.com/cc-common/streaming_new/index.html?refreshed=yes
if you get something different, please let me know the link that workd in your dash (I am using WM6.1 btw).

Usually a look at the properties of whatever's playing will reveal the final URL. Many streaming feeds go through one or two levels of indirection. In extreme cases you might need to look at the source HTML of a page in order to discover the link...this happens a lot when there's a JavaScript popup player, for example.
I have a Bluetooth-enabled car stereo and use the Dash all the time to stream internet stations into the stereo.

I used the link for KSFO radio in SF on my BB 8800 and got an error message as follows: "Error Playing: The media playing is of an unsupported format" i believe the radio station uses Windows Media Player, and an MP3 streaming format.
Any ideas anyone.
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.
so, I havent found this yet, so Im posting this asking for some help. Im trying to get showaco's opera panel for bookmarks to work with the new opera mobile 10 beta 3, for smartphones. finally got the panel to show after editing the default.plg for my screen res and manually putting it into my cpr. Editted the registry to read what I wanted it to on the default panel. Unfortunately I know little to nothing about writing mortscripts. Someone posted where the bookmarks are kept in opera 10 so I changed that in the mort and where my opera 10 exe. is in it. Seems my knowledge of mortscripts are nill, Im going to assume the mort is suppose to change the first page to the first bookmark and add a page for each bookmark. Unfortunately, I get the panel up and the registry editted, I run my editted mort and it just deletes the the page in the registry so I lose the panel as well.
so does anyone wanna help with this?
edit:
so, thinking again. why stop with opera 10? lets see if we can do this with opera mini. skyfire as well.
The bookmark files are no longer clear text with Opera 10
You would need to be able to read the new format of the bookmark files
so, i guess im going to need a lil more help than just someone who can write a mort huh? lol
I am trying to tackle this..
I would be happy with just using \program files\opera mobile 10\profile\datastorage\6\dials.dat to get the favorites. the problem is since there are non ascii characters in the file I have been unable to read the file into a variable for further manipulation.
Anyone know how to either replace all non ascii characters with spaces using mortscript or any other WM utility???
THANKS!
awesome
good to know someone else is on this as well. i have little to no experience with mort or programming so, its left me limited to only finding the "miracle" answer. after raidzero's post though, it did narrow my search. Ive come across a couple of sites that might help someone with more knowledge in writing something. a couple have an "expression" thats said to filter out non ascii characters. if someone is serious about this let me know and ill post the links. i do most of my searching and posting on my phone so, until we actually get something for our bookmarks that would be a fun task lol

Ive come across a couple of sites that might help someone with more knowledge in writing something. a couple have an "expression" thats said to filter out non ascii characters. if someone is serious about this let me know and ill post the links. i do most of my searching and posting on my phone so, until we actually get something for our bookmarks that would be a fun task lol

this one is basiclly saying that microsoft excel does something like this. I figured most phones have the mobile office so this might shed some light.

Thanks for the info, the excel one seems like it might work, but doubtful. The rest are all for different languages, if I knew any C I would do it in that and make my whole panel just use native code instead of mortscript..
but I don't. so the search is still on. I know there is someone here that could make a program that just took a file and removed the non printable characters from it!
then it could be called int he mortscript and life could go on. I will check with JMZ, he knows how to do stuff like that I think.
ok, sounds good
alright. sounds like a plan. so if not "C" is there anything else you are familiar with other than mortscript? thatll help narrow my search

I do not know C, well, I can do maybe hello world. but that's about it. For something as simple as a string manipulation it can't be that hard, but you never know.
Maybe I might just download the bloodshed dev C++ IDE (free) and try my hand at it ....
edit: so bloodshed is gone
visual studio I guess, maybe my company has a license for it.
let me know
if not, mine might. also, i might be able to find one cheap. or i might even have a copy. my old man always makes me a copy of everything he buys and downloads so, I got a couple towers of cd's of software i havent even cracked open lol
