Noob needs help

Hello everyone I just bought a new Tmobile Dash and I have been trying to personalize it as much as I can but there are some things I cant seem to figure out.
1. When I play a video in full screen I have to watch it sideways. Its not horizontal.
2. I want to take "No upcoming appointments." off of my homescreen. I don't seem to have a "Today" tab under Settings to adjust the homescreen like I read somewhere.
3. And I can't seem to put pictures with contacts for when they call.
4. I was also wondering what kind of ROM I should install because I just bought a not so big 2GB memory card but I would like to make my Dash faster.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have Windows Mobile(R) 6 Standard

Already got the answer to question 3. Any help with the others?...

No help I see...

1) There's a registry hack which will fix this problem. First you need to download a registry editor. This program will allow you to alter or "tweak" various codes embedded in your ROM (operating system). Believe me--it's not as difficult as it sounds. You'll need to Google the phrases, "T-Mobile Dash+registry hacks+sideways video" (or something similar) and also "Registry editor+T-Mobile Dash". A page should eventually come up explaining how to do it.
2) I have no earthly clue how to do this. Once again...www.google.com is very helpful.
3) N/A
4) If you want your Dash faster, there are several other ROMs which run quicker than the T-Mobile Windows Mobile 6.0. I'd recommend the HTC 1.33 ROM or one of the MANY 6.1 upgrades by Kavana or rickwyatt. A user by the name of Mikey1022 has all of them in his signature.

To answer your #2... I have never seen or found a way to do this. It seems to be a limitation of the OS. Before I upgraded to one of the WM6.1 ROMs I found here, I was using Facade (www.sbsh.net). It is not freeware, but it is a really solid program and there is an active user community with extensive skins available. It also has integration with PocketWeather.
Using Facade, you can customize what is displayed for appointments on the home screen. You can display multiple days, tasks, static launchers, etc. I don't know if Facade is compatible with the WM 6.1 ROMs. I chose to go the 6.1 route because I think my Dash is MUCH faster with 6.1 than it was with 6.0.
Facade will slow the device down a little bit... all home screen programs seem to do so... but it never bothered me. Even so, WM 6.1 is a lot better overall.
I hope that helps.

the "my appointments" ( for WM5 & 6) not WM 6.1. is part of the .xml code in the particular homescreen you have loaded. The homescreen files are located in the /application data/home folder if you locate the homescreen file you have loaded. drag & drop it onto your PC and then open it with notepad. then if your good enough to read quasi-html code then you should be able to locate the one for the my appoinments. all you have to do is delete everything from "plugin" to "/plugin" , then replace the file back in the directory you got the file from then reload your homepage

I did that but it wouldn't save as a xml file, but a text file so it didn't work

when you go to save the file ( assuming you're using notepad) make sure you type the file plus .xml at the end of it then for file type under it select all files in the dropdown. That'll ensure it saves as XML

1. Use TCPMP instead, it handles more Video and Audio formats and is a much better program, and its free TCPMP
2. As already suggested use Facade. It really is the best for customizing your homescreen if you do not know how to edit xml files.
3. Contacts have to be stored on the phone in order to use Pictures.
Tons of Customizations can be found by visiting my Mods Page (signature), such as watching YouTube and other streaming media on your Dash, Freeware, reg hacks, tips and tricks (yeah yeah, shameless self promotion here).

Ok so I have installed so many different things like pocketnester, different homescreens, different backgrouds and the TCPMP but everytime I download something it says it might not work properly because it was made for an older version of windows mobile...

Titanium plugins (CLauncher & CComm) for WM6.5 Standard

I am porting some Titanium plugins for WM6.5 Standard.
Currently, I have ported the CLauncher & CComm, both of which were originally developed by "chriscsh" and quite good.
You can find out more information about these plugins on their corresponding threads:
* Titanium CLauncher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514490
* Titanium CComm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513747
The plugins require Mortscript, which is also included below.
I have only tested and verified the plugins using the PD Titanium panels on the EnergyROM. However, I believe they should work on the 3vo ROM as well. These plugins use the ATPluginInstaller, which provides a robust installation and limits compatibility issue with other panels.
Here are some screenshots:
(CLauncher showing two applications, Facebook & Tiny Twitter)
(CComm showing the two pages, Setup & Phone connection)
(Steps for adding an application to the CLauncher panel, in this case, Opera Mini)

is there anywhere we can add another panel? one for apps another for games if possible?

Well.... not exactly. The CLauncher is a single panel.
The idea here is to be able to access and launch applications that are used very frequently (maximum of 9). It really does not matter if they are games, utilities, online applications, native applications.
The feature that you ask for would need to be implemented in a different plugin.

thats what im saying like an a cab that will let us another panel like clauncher

This two are working great, the only one i miss is the contact panel,

i dont have much experience with this type of mods, and im getting an atplugin error, so if anyone could help i would really appreciate.

can someone help me set this up no idea how

yeah working fine in portrait mode too!!! (some fix to the cpr but nothing impmossible!!)
really good job!
now we need a way to add more than one launcher... it could be great and usefull!!

O.k once you install the .cabs I had to go to Chome Config. and "show" both panels. You can the go back to you home screen and setup the CComm panel. As for as the CLauncher panel goes manual input works best; expecialy if your apps are located on your storage card, i.e \Storage Card\Program Files\Facebook\facebook.exe. Then you name it, and choose a icon. Ihave Chome Config. Icon-pak installed and I get mine form there. Hope this helps. I would love to have Chome Config work fully on WM6.5 though.

Ok, I am scratching my head just a little here. I have this set up and it is working well. I am able to launch a couple of programs. Of course I set those app's up using the "Choose from list" method. Now....here is the problem. I am trying to add the Opera Mini app using the manual method referred to in your 3th picture, but my Branded T-Mobile Dash does not seem to have a forward slash "\", only a backward slash "/". Am I blind, or just being a n00b? I have looked the keyboard over and over again, and honestly, I don't think it has it. Help please.

Ah. I see said the blind man. Heck, I didn't even know that was what that button is for. Guess it would have helped if I read my owners manual, lol. I was so used to texting on my previous phone, Motorola RAZR. Like I said before, I am new to the smartphone/full keyboard thing.
Thanx man. I would have taken forever figuring that out.

To get the "\" you must press the camera/sym key that is to the right of the space bar. There you can find backslash.

Now i feel like i wasted 30 minutes of my time or that i'm not as lazy as some people who use roms.... when i installed the 3vo rom series i spent the first 30 mintues after initial setup editing one of my chome panels so i could have a programs panel with facebook, twitter, oz messenger, youtube, and opera mini. the made a second panel for my comm settings, reboot, and free memory. lol. i guess when the final version is released i'll just use your ports instead of wasting my time. lol

What I did is export the registry entries for my custom panels, so when I reflash just import those entries and I'm ready to go, just export the following entries
HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\""Your panel name"
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\""Your panel name"
The export is on My documents so after you export copy it to your SD card
Hope this help and save some time next time

[CAB] Opera Mobile as the default browser

So this is for us Tmobile TP2 users who have PIE as the default browser.
I've had a few people test this & it has worked for most. I've also tested the updated cab from a fresh hard reset & it works for everything.
Things it does:
Sets OM as Default Browser
Makes OM the default for the Internet tab on TF3D
Changes the startup page on the Internet tab to Google
Sets search function on Internet tab to go through Google
Opens bookmarks on Internet tab in OM
Opens all links in any app with OM
Increases max tab allowed in OM to 5
Changes "Minimum overview Zoom" in OM to 90
Difference between OD & ODBookmarks
The ODBookmarks cab is the same except it takes away the globe & 4 default bookmarks on the Internet tab & just has your OM bookmarks listed.
(See screenshot)
Uninstalling
If you don't like this, just unistall like any other program. Also, to change the Internet tab back to Tmobiles default, install the TmoDefault cab. You have to do this because if you unistall the first cab it'll delete the settings for the Internet tab. Also, for some reason, no matter what, after you set OM to default, if you revert back to default settings, OM will still open all links in other appls. Don't know why, but it will not revert back to IE. Sorry.
Warning
If you've changed any settings in the OM ini, this will overwrite those settings so you'll need to redo them.
***Not for us with WM6.5 &/or Manila 2.5+ since i dont run a newer rom & i've never messed with it.***
Thanks for any help. Please leave feedback.
If you tried the original version & your links don't open in Opera, install the new one & everything should work. Thanks for helping test the original.

i installed the 1st cab and it works...launches opera by default from the net tab

It fixed the internet tab for me but links in mail still opened in IE.

Ok, i have to figure out what else i changed on my phone but didn't put in the CAB that's makes the links work on mine.

Cool. Glad to hear it's working.
@jim_0068 I'm thinking you're right (on tmonews) that the preference setting inside OM is needed as well, so I may include a modded ini file for that in the CAB. Its weird though because my ini file shows that particular setting as not being changed yet it all still works for me.
I just wish I could compare my registry to someone who hasn't tried this or anything else on it, just to double check all the registry settings i changed.

Anyway to get this going for the WM 6.5 Windows Default home screen? On the bottom it says favorites, but IE is showing and you could add favorites for IE. I wonder if this could be Opera and add bookmarks for Opera.

Works Great
Thanks for the cab

I don't know if it will work for 6.5 or not. If you try it, don't hold me liable if it messes anything up. If it does work though, let us know.
Also, glad to see it works. I guess now i'll edit the original post to show what all registry edits & what-not that it changes.

to the original poster: I just noticed that while this works perfectly it doesn't scale properly when you are using touchflo 3d in landscape. was curious if you could look into that? thanks for the wonderful cab though.

Thanks for the cab., it worked perfectly for me. One very minor issue however. I have both the stock version of Opera Mobile and Opera Mobile 9.7 (I believe) beta downloaded from OM's website. When launching the default browser, it open with the stock OM, but with links to emails, the beta version opens up. this isn't a problem for me honestly, I even actually prefer it since the beta version actually scales the page better, but I just thought you'd wanna note that. Awesome work on the cab. and thanks again.
Oh yeah, how do I use the favorites cab.? Is that what I use to change the favorites on the internet slide of the tflo3D?

Worked great
No problems. I still had to do the configuration in opera:config to set it as default so it would be used from email links. Other than that, it worked perfectly. Thank you for the easy tweak. Those of us who dont know what we are really doing in the registry appreciate it when someone takes a tweak like this and wraps it up for us with a nice ribbon.

do you mean when you're on the Internet tab & go to landscape mode? I just did that on mine (i have it where the globe is gone) & it just moves all my bookmarks to the right. It seems that TF3D has it so that The globe will always default to the left part of the screen in landscape. I don't know how to fix that

As for the 9.5 vs 9.7 issue, i think that has to do with if you set 9.7 as default in the settings (i think that's an option)
The favorites cab is the same as the first except for it takes out the globe & the 4 default bookmarks on the Internet tab & just lists all the Bookmarks you have set in OM

I haven't messed with 6.5 at all so i don't know what slide you're talking about or anything. Do you have a screen shot?
As for setting Opera as the defaultl (w/o TF3D), if someone could provide the registry tweaks (which probably are the same) for 6.5, I can compile them all in to a cab for you.

TP2: Esmertec Jbed/Opera Mini

What version of Esmertec should I use for WM 6.5? I'm trying to get Opera Mini going on my AT&T Tilt2..

2. Any way to register it to remove those annoying permission prompts?

Yes & Yes.
I don't have a cab for 1) handy - search for mortscript and you will get there.
2) go to \windows\appdb and find selector.utf. (Backup &) Edit it. You will see an entry for domain
change:
domain=untrusted, \
to:
domain=tckmax , \
(note that I added spaces to make the length of the second entry identical to the first)
copy the file back and u are all set - no more Java Nag..

Thanks very much!

Actually when I tried making that change, I got an error:
The MIDlet could not be instantiated:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Any ideas? Thanks.

make sure you put enough spaces to match the length of the old entry.. The best way is to open the file in a program which allows you to see spaces/hidden chars, copy the domain line and replace untrusted with tckmax and start adding spaces till the length of the two lines match. then delete untrusted..

I did this tweak on my Fuze w/ WM 6.1. Worked fine.

But last night, after I installed both versions of Opera Mini (v4 and the new Beta) on my Tilt 2 , I searched for the appdb folder and the selector.utf file -- to perform the tweak on the Tilt -- couldn't find them anywhere.
Can any of you folks help me out here? Did something change with WM 6.5? What am I missing, and what do I have to do to run Mini.
Those annoying "untrusted" prompts are driving me crazy. Thanks.

Instead of the utf hack, uninstall Opera Mini, go back to the download page from Opera Mobile (do not dL from your PC). Choose the option to download a previous version (do not select the Download Opera Mini link), and select the Verisign version (it's still 4.2). Viola! No more confirmation screens. I got this tip from this board, so thanks to whomever it was that posted it.
I'm surprised anyone likes Safari better than Mini. iPhone, Pre, and Opera Mobile all have the same problem, which is you need to grow and shrink multiple times to read a web page. I find it cumbersome. Plus, I can switch between mobile & non-moblie views. Each has their uses.

That worked. Went to the previous version, selected the "multiple certificates" choice (of 4.2), and installed it. When I ran it, the first time Mini connected to the internet, I got a "... accesses the network" prompt, but with one of those little check-boxes that says "don't show this message again." Well, on my 6.5 Tilt 2, when I check it, it does show up again, but only once, the FIRST time Mini connects. After that, no more prompts until you exit Mini and start another session. Nice. Thanks!

That's odd -- I only got the message once and was never asked again, regardless of reboots, hard reboots, etc. It loads the first page directly, no questions asked. I used the Verisign version on 6.1.

Tried the Verisign ver., too. Same result for me (It's not like I'm complaining, mind you). Probably a combination of the phone, OS and who knows what else.
I'm just happy to be able to use Mini without the annoyance. Even with an excellent 3G connection, the version of Opera that shipped with my Tilt 2 performs horribly. I could grow old trying to bring up Google, or WAP pages. It's worse than IE. Never thought anything could be worse than IE.
Skyfire really rocks here, though, for some reason. Just a few steps behind Mini for busy sites like the Wall Street Journal. Go figure.
Anyway, thanks again.

Make Storage Card Default Storage Option

I want to have my storage card be the default storage location for my emails, email attachments, My Documents and media files.
For my Tilt, I had 3 or 4 cab files that I would install after a new flash that accomplished this. Are there any cab files for the Tilt 2 that would set the Storage Card as the default location?

Search for advanced configuraton 3.3.. it will do that and alot more..

Thanks for the suggestion. I see it has settings for most of these options, however, there is no setting (at least from what I see) to move my emails to the storage card. That is actually the most important one to me because I have 4 or 5 email accounts that I want to sync with the phone.

Can anyone at least post the registry changes to make this happen? A cab file would be ideal, but I would be willing to make changes to the registry as well.
Thanks in advance!

For email attachments there is an option called "Storage" on the messaging options page. I don't think you can put the emails on the card because I think they are maintained in the PIM database in main memory.
I'm using SPB Plus, which puts an option into the Internet Explorer download menus so that you can change the download location.

I know on my Tilt I was able to save the emails on my storage card (even the MS exchange ones). However, I had a cab file that was about 1kb large that made the proper changes. Since that cab was written for a 2 1/2 year old device running WM 6.1, I'm nervous about running it on my Tilt 2. That's why I was hoping there existed such a file for the Tilt 2, or at least some registry changes floating around.
I keep searching but so far I'm not coming up with anything.

Do you still have that cab handy? Maybe if you post it here, one of the members can open it up and see exactly what changes it makes, so we can know what it does and if you can just run it, or make the changes manually.
(I'm almost to the point where I could do that for you, just not quite yet. It is possible though, for anybody who's used to assembling cabs)

I didn't even think about doing that. Instead of trying to describe these files, I could have just uploaded them. Here they go! Thank you for suggesting that. I really hope someone can repackage it for the Tilt 2.
I also attached 3 other files that behave in the same way for other types of items (temporary internet files, my documents folder, etc).
Thanks again!

These should work with your TP2. I believe this is what they do:
Temmp_Internet_SD.cab sets up the IE cache on the SD card
Rt_sd.Cab sets the system to use ringtones from the SD card
emailatt_sd.cab sets the system to store emails and attachments to the SD card
mydocs_sdcard sets the system to use the SD card when synchronizing with the computer.
However, you have lots of storage space on your TP 2. Why do you want to use the SD card? It has slower access than the main memory on the TP2.

I guess I can back up the device and give it a try. Is there anything in these files that can't be reversed by a hard reset - in case it's not compatible?
As for the use of the storage card, I have at least 5 (there are actually about 7 that I monitor daily) email accounts that I would like to have on my phone. I also like to sync not only the inbox, but many of the sub folders as well. On my Tilt, I actually ran out of room just from emails alone (attachments were on the card) before finding these cab files.
Once I get home, I'll give these files a try and see if they work or fry the phone...lol.

Yes, but the Tilt had a lot less memory, if I recall correctly. It is hard to believe you are low on storage on a Tilt 2 / TP 2! How much storage memory is left on your phone?
The changes are to the registry, actually all you need to do is backup the registry before running the .cab files. If it doesn't work, just restore the registry.

I ran the cab that I used on my first Tilt and it worked perfectly!
Thanks for the suggestion, I would have never had the nerve to use it!

Usually, cabs are built such that when they uninstall, they change whatever registry settings they altered back to their original values. However, as long as you do what stevedebi suggested and backup your registry before installations like that, you'll never be farther away than a quick backup from correcting any issues some cab might have left behind.

Nope a hard reset is the be all and end all of starting over. You cant screw anything up by loading a cab, even a wrong one into windows. A hard reset just loads a brand spanking new install of the operating system as it was shipped.

Just what I needed. Thanks.

For WM6.5.5 Phones: [ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Settings ]
Then create the following STRING VALUES.
Name: AttachPath
String: Storage Card\MAPI\Attachments
Name: PropertyPath
String: Storage Card\MAPI
Of course u can name the folder what ever u want, i have EMAIL/Attachments

Asking
Can those *.cab work well with WM 6.5? I'm using HTC Snap.
Thanks.

Working great on 6.5

They work fine with WM 6.5. I use them on my Touch Pro 2 with no problems at all!

Cabs Did Not Work For Me, Anyone Else Have Problems?
Just installed 2 cabs below:
emailatt_sd.cab sets the system to store emails and attachments to the SD card
mydocs_sdcard sets the system to use the SD card when synchronizing with the computer.
The first only moved my SMS to SD card which I had already done w/SK Tools, it did nothing with my emails. Created a folder just called Mail and stuck all my SMS messages in it.
The second cab did nothing.
Anyone else have problems w/these cabs?
