Zoom Bar stopped working

Originally everything worked fine... then I insralled some other version of OPERA. wasn't good for me so I uninstalled it.
NOW the zoombar doesn't work !
can anyone help ?

sounds like you might have to flash it but only if nothing else works. Try restoring factory settings if you can first.

flash what ? the ROM ? I would rather avoid that...
how do you restore factory settings ? Hard Reset ?

sorry, totally didn't mean flash, hard reset was what i meant to say.
on previous windows phones it was done by holding the power+windows+another soft key on the TP2 its probably the back key. but as i said before search the forums first, as i've never done it on TP2 before.

Hi,
Found a similar thing on mine when I tried out the latest version of Opera, 8.65 I think- seems it doesn't have support for the zoom bar.
You could hard reset as follows (from the Wiki)
Hard Reset (This cannot be performed while the device is connected/charging)
* With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
* "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press ?VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
* Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
* Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.

However, the original Opera is probably still there, as I discovered by a bit of fiddling about. If you create a shortcut to \Windows\OperaL.exe you should find it works.
Its a hidden file, but I was able to find it using Resco Explorer with the right settings. (running Opera9.exe didn't work for me for some reason, although that seems to be the main program file).
Hope that helps.

How can I set the right softkey to lock? 6.5 Rom

As the topic says

or by pressing and holding the hang up key? can it be set up that way?

I hope i know what you mean, but if, it's possible .
Go into the phone settings, if youre running standard rom, start menu -> Settings -> Personal, otherwise in the settings Tab and over "all settings".
There you select "Buttons" and "End Key".
Then you can choose what your device should do if you hold the end key, so you might select "Automatically execute the selected action" and "lock device".
If thats what you searched for, it should work, although the unlock-screen isnt very pretty.

go to one of Miri's 6.5 rom threads and in the first page open the cab repository.
Download and install Miri's Long press key

What rom are you running? I have tried a few wm6.5 roms and have yet to find that setting. I guess thats why Miri added a cab to add that function.

Hard reset not working

After having thoroughly read the 280 pages of the UM of my Rhodium, I've tried several times (three digits number !) to hard-reset my machine, but alas, without success.
I've tried every possible combination of ON/START/STOP buttons but none works.
I either happen to make the message "do you want to switch off your mobile" (in french, as French am I) or the menu to activate ringer/vibrator etc to appear, but never ever got the ability to hard-reset my unit.
What's wrong with me/my Rhodium ?
Thx in advance mates !

Instructions on how to hard reset are in the wiki. Don't know what these "ON/START/STOP" buttons you mentioned are. The buttons involved in making a hard reset are the Power, Call Send, and Call End keys.
Alternatively, you can go to "Clear Storage" in your settings and follow the directions on screen.

on=power, start=call send and stop=call end, indeed, but it ain't working anyway !
i'll give "clear storage" a try, thanks.

You do know that you need to turn off the device first? Alternatively, do a "clear storage" as mentioned above, if you still have access to your device.

Yes, I do know, thank you for your response, and I tried either way unsuccessfully !
I do have access to my machine but needed it to be fully reset.
"clear storage" works fine, but that does not explain me why the "three finger salute" fails...

You are keeping the SEND and END keys down whilst you turn the POWER on aren't you? then releasing only when you see the tricolour screen

I updated the wiki page the other day to make the steps a bit clearer.
Give it antoher go .

Problems with Hard Reset on a Verizon Touch Pro 2
Hi Guys,
I've had my Verizon version of the phone since the beggining of the week and I cannot make a Hard Reset work either. The combination of Send/End/Power buttons do not work, and on my Verizon version there is no "Clear Storage" item under the system tab in settings. I've watched the U-Tube clip in the Wiki, and I note that HTC's site for the Verizon variant refers to using "Clear Storage".
Looking in the Windows directory there is a Clear Storage html file but there is no ClearStorage.exe. I have extracted a ClearStorage.exe from my Tilt and inserted it into the Windows directory of the Touch but to no avail.
Does anybody have a fix for this? Could this be another "exclusion" by Verizon to stop us working with our phones?

Sorry to insist, but you have turned the device completely OFF, right? So it's not just in "stand by/screen off" power saving mode, but completely off? So that when you press the power button, the phone starts loading WM etc.
Again, sorry to insist, but I couldn't figure out any other reason for the hard reset not to work.

Don't mind you insisting because this issue is stupid. Yes I have turned the phone completely off by pressing the End button until the phone states "Your phone will be turned off. Press No to cancel.
When I attempt the Hard reset it the phone merely restarts regardless of how long I press the buttons.
All this would not be so much of an issue if "Clear Storage" was available. Short of waiting for the first cooked ROM (and therefore Hard SPL) to appear for the CDMA phones, is there any way to put that back? Obviously it requires more than copying the .exe to the windows directory. My Tilt has a 6.5 cooked ROM. Is is possible that the .exe is slightly changed in that one vs 6.1?
Other Verizon phone owners - can you confirm that the "Clear Storage" is missing?

Edited:
On my Verizon, the Clear Storage is on the System tab, under 'Memory'. Select 'Memory' and select the Clear Storage sub tab.

Taken from ppcgeeks:
FOR VERIZON TP2 ONLY (Sprint & GSM have different settings)
Soft reset
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, then hit the end key to start your phone. You can also hit the reset button under the battery cover.
Hard reset
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, then hold volume down, send and end till you see blue text. Follow hard reset prompts.
Security
Hold down the end key till the device powers off, hold vol down and end to get to security(rainbow screen).

I just confirmed that this works on a Verizon phone. I got the hard reset prompt with this key sequence.

For Verizon users that want to do the clear storage through the OS, it's located under Memory in Settings on the Clear Storage Tab.
Settings -> All Settings -> Memory -> Clear Storage
Happy formatting :-D

Thanks everyone
Thanks everyone for resolving this.
This is what HTC Touch Pro2 (Verizon) site says under FAQ "General & Others":
"Q. What does a Hard Reset do and how is it performed?
A hard reset removes all information from your device and returns it to a state just like it has never been used before. All contacts, messages, emails, 3rd party applications, etc. will need to be reinstalled after performing a hard reset. To perform a hard reset, navigate to Start > Settings > All Settings > System (tab) > Clear Storage. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete. This process will take 5-10 minutes".
Clearly no reference to being under the Memory Icon. The link is:
http://www.htc.com/us/faqs.aspx?p_id=294&cat=90&id=110490&f=t
Could we ask the moderator to arrange for the Wiki to be updated for the CDMA vcersions?

I have a Verizon TP2. Clear Storage on my phone is located at Settings/Memory and then the Clear Storage Tab. It asks you to enter a number to reset your phone and restore Verizon default settings.
Edit: Bah, guess I didnt see the second page )

[Guide] MT4G Remapping Genius button to Google Search

Here is the guide to remap the Genius button to Google search.
A press will give you text search and long press will give you voice search.
Items needed:
Root access (Perm root required as not having perm root will result in changes being undone on reboot)
Root explorer
MT4G
Fingers
If you misspell the word you will lose button functionality. Your Power button and volume buttons won't work. All is not lost though, pull the battery follow the steps again. I would recommend making a backup of the file before you edit it (Root explorer makes a backup, but you can never make too many. That and Root explorer makes a backup of the file before editing).
Steps:
1. Open Root explorer and navigate /system/usr/keylayout/ (That is scroll down and press the system folder. Scroll down again and press the usr folder. Press the keylayout folder)
2. At the top right corner of the screen press mount r/w
3. Long press "glacier-keypad.kl"
4. A screen will pop up, scroll down to "Open in Text Editor"
5. key 183 will say FUNC_4, change this to SEARCH (all caps)
6. Press the menu button
7. Press "Save Changes"
8. Long press power button
9. Press Restart
10.Try it out, and say thank you after it works.
Sorry but I was always told to explain it as if you were 10yrs old to prevent questions. Wasn't trying to offend anyone's intelligence.
Also while you're in there if you want to add WAKE_DROPPED after HOME, your phone will now wake when you press the home button.
If someone wants to make a guide for how to do this with adb, post it and I will update the op.
Update: The google voice search on this phone sucks balls. Go to the market and download Vlingo. The first time you long press search after this it will give you the option to make it the default voice search. Imo it is superior to the native voice search, at least on this phone.
Update: The latest update for Voice Search has fixed whatever the problem may have been. But Vlingo is still a great app so feel free to give it a try.
Update: Mftek has given you another alternative. Please see this post For instruction on how to get Google search on a short press, and the Genius button on a long press.
Update

Absolutely genius... I will try it soon.
Before I do... we can reverse by simply changing it from SEARCH back to FUNC_4, I assume?

Already tried to change it back and it worked no problem.

You are the man! Thanks
Works perfect

OMG this has been bugging me since my first boot! Thank you!!

Tried this while temprooted with visionary and didn't work. Copied the file to sdcard and edited it there, then moved it back to its original location, overwriting the original.
On reboot nothing changed. What'd I do wrong?

Brilliant!

If you only had temproot and have not unlocked then Nand, then when you reboot it likely didn't stick.......

Ah... So is S-OFF required to achieve real permanent root? Or can I just use visionary to temp root --> perm root --> remount system as r/w and then go on my merry way?

Perm root is required, I have updated op to say that. Sorry for the confusion. S-off is required for this to stick, unless someone with S-on figures out a way to make it work.

Ah ok, this will just have to wait a little then.

Hmm I just noticed something strange when I did this, my text on my lockscreen disappeared after doing this .. along with when I press the power button, the text for each option was gone .. restoring back to stock the text is back .. weird.

Worked perfectly!!! Home button now wakes screen and Genius button does Google search. Thank you so much.

Just did it without any hitches. Added Home_Dropped as well. THANK YOU DUDE!!! This made my day even better. Rooted and key re-mapping sweet.

wow awesome that was fast

Ok problem figured out, it was the font I replaced in my system it started acting weird thanks again!

I actually went back to the genius button, for some reason the voice search function could not get a single command right, it couldnt understand "call home" in a perfectly quiet environment, let alone any other commands, like texts, but thanks for the write up.

I haven't rooted yet and I've also noticed that voice search performs surprisingly poorly on this phone. Wonder what's up with that?

I'm looking into a solution. It has nothing to do with changing it though. It's hearing it correctly, but not understanding commands. I say "call blah" and the search box comes up with call blah. Not cool.

Mine's blatantly missing words. If I didn't know better I'd say the phone is sassing me for not using the genius button.
