first things first, i bought this phone through tigerdirect and it came unlocked with WM5.. i installed the EnergyROM and love the looks and functionality of it. I ran into a few problems.... im not the type to develop things on my own, but if there are written directions i would be able to follow it.
1. Phone always says that there is too much memory being used and i should try closing programs before opening other ones. But its weird bc nothing will be open, and i try and open the camera and it says memory is full. is it just a bug or is there a way to fix this?
2. Im trying to use .wav audio files as my text, e-mail, and alarm notifications. except when i add the .wav files to the my ringtones folder, they only show up in the ring tone section and not any others.
3. On the main screen of WM6.1 with the sliding panels, is there a way to get my SMS, MMS, Outlook and other e-mail accounts on the same tab? im tired of scrolling down, i would rather see it go to the right or left.
4. some keyboard functions dont match up when using the FN key (!,&,%,$) the only one that works is the question mark. is there a file i could install over the old one, or something i can do to fix it?
any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. thanx
No need to make new thread post in the thread of topic NRG ROM thread....

Appreciate any help with the following questions regarding SMS:
On the home screen is it possible to hold more than 25 texts on display to scroll through without having to go through all messages tab?
When deleteing messages in the all messages tab,is it possible to delete messages seperately when you have multiple messages from the same person.I keep deleteing whole "conversations" rather than just one or two that I don't need to keep.(hope that makes sense)
And finally,is it possible to add another folder to the list i.e. named friends for example,as well as the standard deleted,drafts,inbox,outbox and sent folders?
Apologies if this has been asked before,but I'm all searched out on this one! lol.
you could try to change the layout of the messages, instead of threaded, you could put standard and delete one by one? I haven't personally tried this though.
Of course deleting from TF3D would delete just one message...
Thx for reply............anyone else have any ideas,even if its just to tell me it cant't be done,at least I'd know ,thx.
Bump.............any help??

Thanks for the tip on changing the message layout from threaded(I'm a complete noob and have only just found out how to do this in tweak!) I think this will solve the problem of deleteing messages I want to keep.
Can anyone enlighten me on how to/if at all possible,add another folder to put messages that I want to keep into. e.g. Friends folder,Work messges folder etc,cheers.
Alright go easy on me guys. I searched the rhodium forums and all the results pretty much showed me to all the various rom's that are available, i guess the word ringtone, alerts or w.e must be in each one.
is there any packages out there somewhere for some custom ringtones? I want a bigger selection than whats available on my phone now. Any ideas?
You can use whatever mp3 file you want. Just put it in the "application data\sounds\" directory and you'll be able to select them.
I personally just cut out a part of a song to use as a ringtone and then use movie/tv quotes as SMS and email notifications.
Hi, I came from the Wizard and am still learning my Rhodium, I have a few questions that will probably give me a "shoulda had a V8" moment once I hear the answers, but I will ask anyway...
1- how do I set speed dial?
On my wizard I was able to assign a button to a person and just press and hold.
2- is there any way/program to create a zoom function on the camera?
3- how do I make a tab/shortcut to NOTIFICATIONS?
4- I installed a Facebook app, other than putting it in the start menu or in the programs tab, is there a way I can create a dedicated tab (like people, calendar, messages, settings, etc) to go to Facebook?
5- where the heck do I put tunes I want to use as an alarm sound (not to be confused with ringtones)?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Here's me smacking my forhead...Shoulda had a V8!!

Voted.
I have tried dropping my sounds into the main windows directory, but when I go to set an alarm, it isn't reading my tunes. Perhaps there is a size limit or is it wav specific? I have even tried naming the file alarm-name as I have seen that in windows. I have tried resetting my device...nothing.
Do you have any idea what I may be doing wrong?
Again, thank you.

1. Go to the contact, hit the Menu softkey and "add to speed dial".
2. The zoom bar just below the TP2 screen zooms the camera.

I believe that alarm sounds must be in WAV format, or they won't be recognized.

Thank you, I didnt even know that, I should have RTFM LOL! but thank you!
It took me some time to figure out what the hell the zoom bar was, but now I think I have it.
I will try converting my files to wav format and maybe the alarms will work.
Setting a speed dial contact is next on my list.
Thank you for all the advice so far!!
Now does anyone have any idea if I can make a dedicated tab for Facebook, and also how to make a shortcut or tab for notifications?
Thanks in advance.
I am still trying to make more prominent/easier shortcuts or actual TF3 tabs for Facebook and notifications.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
I do have the Facebook app loaded in the programs tab and in the start menu. What I'd like to do is have an actual TAB...like Home, Weather, Programs...Facebook.

As far as I know those are preset into the 3d software, so its either going to have to be an update or one of the gurus here will have to hack the system.
For alarms, I like to use spoon alarm, it seems to work much much better at finding songs to use as alarms (and its really easy to use). Only thing thats no good is that you can't set multiple alarms like the windows one. Plus every soft reset you will have to reload spoon alarm for it to go off, but you can play music

To get them to show up for notifications and events:
- WAV files go in \Windows.
- MP3 & WMA files can work too, but you have to put them into \Application Data\Sounds
This should be the same for the alarm sounds, but I haven't actually used the alarm on mine yet (had it about 2 weeks).
I like the flash but I need help with about three basic things.
First the text message sent thing is happening and the old disable text message download from here isn't working to stop it, Does a new one need to be written?
Second, they gave you a fantastic version of Internet Explorer one in my opinion, as good or better then opera. But now my default internet keys on my keyboard take me to Opera and not Internet Explorer like it use to, I want this changed back, so can you please help me on that too?
and last, when I press start It no longer drops down my 7 pre set programs and the other two system ones, it automatically sends me to the jumbled screen which I hate! I would like this changed back as well. Please help guys, thanks
1....look for disable sms cab..lots out there..
2...open the web browser..it will use opera first...when that happens go to the settings on the opera browser and change it so its not your default browser...next time you use it, it will use internet explorer
3...for the last one i really don't think you can change that..
Hey guys,
Justa few quick questions ...
Is there an application or something that will log all the apps I have downloaded via my account and list them for me, so when I do a backup I knwo what I had before?
Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?
Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.
Am I asking too much L.o.L.?

I don't have an Android phone yet ...and won't do until 7/8/9-April... but playing with my wife's Hero this is what I know...
You seem to have to create a level of Google account in orpder to purchase from Android Market and logging into your Google Account and going to Android Market will bring up a list of your previously downloaded apps.
I haven't found a stand alone app for this but purchasing your apps through AppBrain.com and using their AppBrain app seems to do what your asking. AppBrain doesn't seem to list all apps though - definitely missing UK specific apps such as Beebplayer.
I've had WinMo phones for the past 8 years and never heard of a facility to do this - if there is one I'd be chuffed to hear about it myself.
Dunno - someone else will have to answer this one I'm afraid
I believe that most backup apps will do a scheduled backup - Sprite Backup definitely does but to the SD Card only (no automailer), but WRT ignoring previously backed up messages I've not heard of this feature in any backup app.
I hope this helps to some extent.

AppBrain allows you to create lists on their site, so when you change phones or wipe it, you can tell it to reinstall the whole list. I did that when I moved from G1 to Desire -- worked like a charm.
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
You should ask that in TyTN forum

Flyscreen

SMS backup
P.S. sorry, I was lazy and did not include links -- google is your friend

You can store all your text messages online with Microsoft My Phone or else store them on your PC.

THANKS ALL!
Will have a look at this FabianNL as if I can export to individual files then I will be happy. To be honest it isn't a big deal .
Been playing with my Desire for a while, I can see the appeal of Android it's quick, big buttons, keyboard isn't back considering I'm coming from Tytn (as well as a Touch HD but that was BAD).
My next step is ... what programs should I "replace"? I'm refering to applications like mail, text/messages, etc the build in ones.
I am though over the moon with the device the text input ROCKS! I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phone so I need an Android variation ...
G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application
G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget
Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch
Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!
Lock Without using Power button - easy ...
That's about it for now
I use Klaxon for my alarms.
SMS Popup will turn on the screen when you get text messages (not sure if there is similar for emails) and can give reminders untill it's read.
As far as profiles, then would HTC's Scenes not do the trick? Failing this Locale can automagically turn on and off services and silent/loud the ringer based on various criteria like time and location.
You can easily switch to recent apps by pressing and holding the home key
And there are loads of Task Managers on the market for killing running apps
What does sense have for managing profiles?
Hi,
I would like replace my TyTn II to HTC Desire but Im not shure if I will be happy with Desire(Android)...
Main things which wory me are:
1.)Synchronization with PC with USB cable. I DON'T want and will not sync with google account. All I need is same automatic sync line with activesync. I need sync Contacts, Calendar, Emails(Configure which folders), Task's, Notes. Sync will be done with MS Outlook 2007/2010.
2.)Is possible set more than one email account? I need 3x pop3/smtp email accounts.
3.)Is possible disable threaded SMS/MMS? I realy hate this function.
4.)Is there any app which allow connet to windows remote desktop(RDP and not any 3rd party VNC or other)?
5.)Is there some app/pack which can work with word, excel, power point files?
6.)Does included browser support certificates? I know that opera mobile on WinMo do not support it, so I can't manage cPanel server, make payments(bank)...
I think that this is enought for start
Thanks for any help and answers.
Best regards, _Dejan_
