HTC Touch Pro can't add programs - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I am a novice when it comes to installing and uninstalling software on cell phones. I purchased the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 6 weeks ago and I have always hated the manner in which Sprint allows its customers to send and receive picture mail. When I receive an animation, I only receive the picture. However, I did a little research and I am attempting to add s2u2 freeware to my phone. I found that I am unable to add a program and Sprint doesn't allow me to copy and paste the cabinet to my phone. Is there a solution to this problem, so I can unlock some of the features on my phone for maximum use?

tried putting the cab on a sd and putting it in the phone ?

Work's Exchange 2007 Security Policies.. my touch pro 2.. no fun

Ok.. I have searched high and low and cannot find the answer.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 I just received today for work. It is replacing my HTC Mogul. My work now has an Exchange 2007 server that they are able to lock down pretty much anything. I was able to get around these security measures with just a reg hack on my Mogul which had WM 6.0.
Now that I have my Touch Pro 2 I am unable to find out how to work around the issues. Here they are in no particular order:
1. I cannot install any CAB files or programs through active sync if the program does not have a trusted certificate.
2. I cannot launch Remote Desktop Client. It says I have been blocked from doing this.
3. I cannot make registry edits
I have hard reset the phone and then I am able to install anything and do anything. The second after I sync my phone to my work's exchange 2007, I cannot do anything listed above.
Here is what I have done:
http://www.etenblog.com/2008/01/21/disable-exchange-security-policy-for-windows-mobile-devices/
Everyone else with earlier versions of phones have reported some success with this, and the ones that did not received no advice. When I go to my registry, that specific key located at "HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023" Already has a value of 1, which would lead me to believe it is disabled. It is the same way when I freshly hard reset it. I would assume after the Exchange 2007 sync, that reg key would change to a value of 0 but it doesn't.
So this leads me here, asking if any of you have encountered the same problem. Does my company have me beat? I just wouldn't see why when my Mogul was reg hacked to not load their policy for the password.. which leads me to one last point that is very odd..
When resynced my Mogul to my company's Exchange, it specifically had me set up some sort of PIN to unlock the phone every time I wanted to use it. When I sync my Touch Pro 2, it does not ask me to set up a PIN and it doesn't even ask me for a previous PIN that I would have used on my Mogul. Any thoughts to all of this?
I lived with the Exchange policy of phone lock for few years and finally don't have this issue after installing Stay Unlock on my TP2

For certificates issue try Advanced Config Tool 3.3
Not sure about Remote Desktop one. Above might fix it, or try install another remote app that supports RDP
thanks for the help! Unfortunately I had to sync my phone back to exchange so when I run Advanced config (which I had installed before the sync) says it cannot be opened because it does not have a trusted certificate.. GRRR

SMS Issues - NEED HELP

I have an HTC Tilt 2, running WM6.5. I'm using stock rom with Touchflo3d. I know this should be in an HTC forum, but since this applies to just about every HTC model out there and I'm also wondering if there is a normal WM feature I'm not aware of so it applies to WM6.5 only.
I have about 4,500 sms messages (I text alot) and I need to know two things:
1) Is there any way within WM6.5 to tell it to store my txt messages on my sc card rather than the internal memory? The more msgs I have, the more memory it takes, the less memory, the slower the whole thing becomes. I don't care if I need a 3rd party app to do it, I just want to know how or if it's possible.
2) Is there a WM replacement for the HTC sms messenger that's better? is there a non HTC and non WM sms messenger that's better? Mine keeps locking up the phone every time I send a message from one of the user accounts with a large amount of messages in it, forcing me to soft-reset or use a RAM reset tool to get the system to respond again.
I'm willing to upgrade to a new non-stock ROM if it will solve my problems and I'm willing to buy whatever software is necessary to resolve my issues.
Thanks,

[Q] trying to use outlook

Hi,
I know the outlook is only trial that comes with the HTC Tilt II, but I only use it for the contacts saving. It came on a disc with my HTC Tilt II.
So I have used my trial up along time ago, but need to use it again. I need to create a CSV file to transfer my contacts to a motorola droid phone(backflip)
So I uninstalled it, and tried reinstalling it, but it still says trial has expired. Is there any way around this, do I need to remove it somewhere else?
thanks in advance.

[Q] HTC Tilt 2 TouchFLO crashing due to contacts update

My AT&T HTC Tilt 2 is nearly a year old now, and I've recently run into a very irritating problem. Every time I try to use the "Update Now" feature (Contacts -> Updates and Events tab -> Menu -> Update Now) to update contacts' Facebook pictures and whatnot, the entire UI crashes and has to reload. No error messages or anything like that at all; the screen simply freezes for 15-30 seconds and the HTC Launching TouchFLO 3D screen comes up.
This issue has expanded to encompass any time I try to edit a contact (on that note, the "Link to Facebook account" button no longer does anything except cause TouchFLO to crash) or even open the Updates and Events tab.
I'm still using the same ROM that came with the phone (hard reset once or twice, so essentially the same thing), meaning Windows Mobile 6.5. Like I previously mentioned, I'm using the TouchFLO 3D UI (my attempt to update to the Sense UI went terribly).
Is there anything I can do to fix this, aside from hard resetting again? I've got a lot of contacts (more than will fit on my SIM card, in fact), and I'd really rather not go through all the steps of personalizing my phone for a third time if I don't have to. It'll be like November before I'm eligible for an upgrade with AT&T, so that's not a viable option right now, as much as I might like it to be.
Another side note: Using Windows Mobile Device Center, is there a way to basically copy all of my contacts and whatnot from my phone to my computer without adding in the contacts from Outlook? I'd really rather not deal with a bunch of random email addresses sitting in my phone's contact list. If this is possible, I may just try to use this method, hard reset, and then put the contacts back on the phone. The rest of the personalization isn't nearly as time-consuming as adding in another 80-ish contacts and then fixing the names of the ones I managed to fit onto the SIM card (because the SIM card saves them in the format of "Smith, John" in the last name field and nothing in the first name field...).
I've also got a 16GB microSD card, if that would be of any benefit in any of these endeavors.
Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks!
Any ideas?
Not sure about all your facebook issues, but a great, quick and easy program that can save and restore contacts anywhere (including your storage card, if you like) is PIM Backup:

I use it all the time since I flash daily and I NEVER have any problems restoring my 200+ contacts using PIM Backup.

Problem with my HTC HD7 (forgotten old lock screen passcode)

Hi
Hope someone can help me. I have an HTC HD7 which I stopped using years ago and it has a number of personal text messages on it which I was never able to export from the device. I recently plugged the phone back in and realised I didn't turn off the passcode and I have forgotten what I set it to.
As this phone is pretty old and outdated, I was wondering if theres a method I can use to get into the phone using a Windows device to retrieve information from it including the texts etc. Or at least bypass the lock screen code.
sorry, not possible...
