SmartToolKit Help??? - HTC Excalibur

i have tried to find it via search and nothing... So here we go 4 questions...
1. any good place for step by step stuff on settings for it ect....
2. anyone able to tell me how to set a scheduale to run a program? basically i want the keyboard light to turn off and on via autokeylight
3. how to set Explorere key to auto stop all processes to free ram?
4. is there a way to make tasks button defaulted back to the orignal soft button inputs?
sorry guys these forums are so big sometimes the answers are hidden deep in a thread not about this...

disregaurd i removed it do to a conflict that caused it to crash and lockup my buttons.

RC08 you want to use with Excalibur

RC09 works good if you're running oOkBa's 3VO 6.5!
RC08 is good for 6.1 like Stylez said!

was runny rick version of 6.1 but kept freaking out the 08 version, so uninstalled it. no biggie i get what i want out of it.
thanks for the reply i might try to cook my own rom cause i want certain funcs and some removed.

HTCActivityLogExe.exe keeps using all my memory...

It started with NRG's rom redone by ricky & stylez... Thought maybe it was ROM specific... so I switched to NRG Latest version (not modded by rick & stylez)... and the same thing has started happening.
Whenever I try to open anything (messaging, celetask, commanager, etc)... I get a low/insufficient memory error)... sometimes the phone freezes up at this point, and I have to unplug the battery to restart it.
Sometimes if I get this error, i can still get into celetask, and end the "htcactivitylogexe.exe" and it frees up nearly ALL of my memory.
OMG same problem here lol
so i went back to Rickys, its good so far :]
Same thing here.

I searched the thread for "HTCACTIVITYLOGEXE.EXE", no results... and I searched for registry, and none of the posts referred to this problem? Could you post a shortcut?
I cant find much on the subject either... i am running the stock 6.5 rom and getting the error.... My google search on it brought me here... Would love a fix for it...

For those who just want their phone to run without running out of memory every 5 txt's do the following:
Go to HKEY Current User\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Apps\HTCSlidingPane l and delete the "Module" key which has a value referencing the weather app. When you reboot, WeatherApp.exe, WeatherUpdateService.exe and HTCActivityLog.exe no longer load. Apparently they are all part of the weather app.
So perhaps those who are not having issues are not using this home screen?
ADD; I found HTCSlidingPanel under "services", NOT Apps
I cant find HKEY Current User\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher on my htc excalibur running rom V24 from Rickywatt... does anyone know where it is? or how to disable WeatherApp.exe, WeatherUpdateService.exe and HTCActivityLog.exe on the excalibur (if its a different procedure all together).

You can disable it via the registry by changing the Dword Value of course or your delete WeatherApp.exe, WeatherUpdateService.exe

TouchFLO or M2D on the LG INCITE!!!

I've been playing around with the Incite a good bit and discovered that M3D works a lot better on it than it did on the Tilt, but there is no WQVGA version of it, so that led me to search around a bit. After a bit of searching, I discovered that there is a version of M2D for the Omnia, and guess what! It works on the Incite too! And this is how to do it.
1. Install the M2D all in one cab file. (make sure you have 20mb in the phone storage and install directly to the phone, NOT the storage card or it will not work)
2. Install the Opera browser cab for the internet tab (works from the storage card)
3. Install the SECcontact cab (this is to view contacts in the contact list)
The only tab that doesn't work is the comm tab. Other than that, the Incite renders the program flawlessly. (no probs with standby, powering off, etc.) Enjoy!
Thanks to:
SztupY for Manila
NFSFAN for Opera
And black-DraGon for SECcontact

Here is a fix for the Comm tab.You will also need the Comm Manager if you don't already have it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430468
Thank you very much, well, now we have a fully functional M2D! Another thing is that if you want to use one of the comm managers from that thread, it works just as well.
hi guys, i also have M2D on my incite and works fairly well. im also using the omnia m2d cab. i tried M3D for tilt but didnt work well.
Thats because the the M3D cab is QVGA, the Incite is WQVGA. If someone could port M3D to WQVGA our devices would run it better than the tilt, and not have the same issues.
So now I'm gonna work on some themes for M2D, will be posted them soon!

So that you're not doing unnecessary, modaco.com has a thread with lots of themes modified for the Omnia. Now get back to work on the ROM's!!

well, not everyone here is a member there, so I'll pick the best there, give credit, and post them here. thank you, and I already knew about them.
Is anyone else having the issue where scrolling side-wise through the tabs lags a bit?
It looks like it tries to load whatever tab my finger is over while scrolling ... and it slows down the phone considerably.
Help Please
I have installed the manila 2D and now I am not able to find the FM radio application. I listen to the radio a lot. can some one help me where i can find the FM radio applicaiton.
Thanks in advance.
I'm a noob at this whole thing. Can someone point me in to a step by step tutorial for installing this? (I'm sure i can figure it out if thier isn't one)
And once installed can you switch back to the original UI , and if so, how?
Thanks!
Just read the first post, and install in that order. To disable: start/settings/today/items and uncheck TouchFLO
ok, i have everything working. Thanks!
I have another question though. I installed M2DC in order to install some skins for M2D. The only ones i could find were Omnia skins. When i install them the scroll bar (the one with home, people, ect.) is not at the bottom resulting in about 3/8" of unused screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Those skins are WVGA and your phone is WQVGA, which is why it doesn't display properly. In order to fix it, open M2C and restore original layout and it should fix it.

comm manager won't load

Hi, I tried many roms and most of them work fine. but I'm always having comm manager issues.
On first boot, comm manager loads fine. but after some use.
whenever i want to use comm manager to load wifi or bt, it won't show up.
I need to reboot the phone and do it.
does anyone know what could be causing this?
thanks
i dont know why it does that but (assuming your using 6.1 and up) you go into the task manager and kill the wrlsmanager process. go back to the home screen and restart the app it should start up now and avoid the reboot.
thanks!
i'll do that when it happens.
so annoying... lol
I had that problem, it was irritating but I just had to make myself press the "Done" button in Comm Manager when I had finished using it, rather than just switching to another app. It always seemed to open fine after I changed my habits! ;-)
it happened again, but this time i don't see wrlsmanager process
and reboot doesn't work.
any other ideas?
thanks
is this an issue in every rom? or could it be hardware?
cuz every rom i'm trying is acting like this.
some don't even load after a reset.
it just shows the color wheel.
i have 19mb free ram. so what gives?
Thanks

I'm not so sure if I am understanding this incorrectly, but is it that Bluetooth and Wifi are greyed out on the comm manager? or will the comm manager just not work?
If it is the prior, then what ROM are you using currently (although you say you have tried many)? If it is Ookba's 3vo V2.5.080809 then he posed a fix on the second post for Wifi issues. I know i had issues where Wifi wouldn't start. I installed the fix, and it did exactly that, it fixed it. Not so sure about bluetooth...
I would go ahead an ask Ookba what he did, because at one point he mentioned suspecting there were hardware differences in some Excalibur units...
If it is that the comm manager wont start up, that is weird. If killing the process doesn't always work, check the sortcut...I know that one or two ROMS that i had used in the past had problems where they accidentally put "commmmanager" or something of the sorts, and most of the time, the phone was unable to interpret that correctly.
If it isnt either of those, then I am sorry I am totally off track haha.
Anyways, hope I helped a bit...
Hi
the comm mananger won't load.
and there is no wrls manager process running.
it doesn't load after a reset sometimes either.
I tried the roms posted in the wiki
most of the wm 6.1 roms posted in the wiki
080408 - Remade By Rickywatt
NRG's 'Rose' ROM ver. 1.4
NRG Rose Rom v1.7 - Remade by Ricky and Stylez
and
3VOLUTION series
thanks
what should the comm manager target be?
thanks
Well, i just used a text editor to look at my phone's CommManager link on the start menu ...
Running Ookba's 3VO 2.5 (with the WiFi Patch installed) it says this:
Code:
39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
?\Windows\SP_ProgramIcon.dll,-110
The second line is for the links icon...the first line points to where the Communications Manager program is...make sure it matches that...
By the way...are you launching comm manager from the start menu or from the CComm panel on the homescreen, or are you using the 'hold down the TZones/Internet button' method implemented in some ROMs?...for any of them there is a way to check the link....
I mentioned above how to check for Start Menu....
For the CComm Panel, go into the registry with a registry editor...Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CComm\ ... in there should be keys named "Page1", Page2 and so on...check each of them for "SK2URL" and make sure that for each the value is "\Windows\CommManager.exe" (no quotes " ")
For the holding down of the TZones/Internet button, go to the windows directory and look for long_IE.lnk (i think that is what it is called, im not sure though...my phone doesnt have that) and make sure it points to the correct file...
That is really all i can think of...hope it helps
thanks,
but how do u check a shortcut on a smartphone, i used to use shortcut creator on the PPC. but it doesn't work for the smartphone.

Do you have Notepad or something on your phone? If not I believe there is a NotePad program on the Development and Hacking sub-forum on XDA, if not you can go to this site, they have a notepad application i belive
http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm
Use that to open the .lnk file...
And i use Resco RegEdit to edit the registry, but i believe most ROMS have some reg editor built in...
Thanks,
mine says:
59#"\windows\CommManagerlink.exe"
should i rename it?

For starters, why is it "CommManagerlink.exe", it should just be "CommManager.exe", unless that is how the ROM was cooked.
Okay, try this...
First, go to the WINDOWS directory, and find CommManager.exe, and click it. If it works, then the shortcut is the problem...if so move on to the next 'step'...
Using a file explorer, make a backup copy of the .lnk file (just do a duplicate, or copy and paste into a new folder) just incase something goes wrong.
Now, for the first try, just change "CommManagerlink.exe" to "CommManager.exe" (obviously, no " "). if that doesn't work, do the next method.
If the first method didn't work, try replacing the contents of the .lnk file with
Code:
39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
If that method did not work, then I am really not sure what is wrong. However, i know that some ROM's come cooked with Resco Explorer...and there is a function on one of the menus to "Send to Start Menu as a Shortcut"...that would make it a whole lot easier...since you could just do that instead of making/modifying your own...
Look inside the WINDOWS folder, and look for "CommManagerlink.exe" ... I doubt it exists...but it all depends on what ROM you are using, as I don't know the specifics of EVERY ROM. So what ROM are you currently using?
Hope this helps
Odd, I have both. LOL
CommManagerlink.exe and the non link one.
I'll make 2 short cuts and see which one works better.
I'll report back with results
Thank you for all ur help.
Dammit it happened again.
I don't get it.
why it doesn't load up.
even when i try the phone alarm buttons it doesn't work.

Give me som details about your phone...
Where was it made (China or Taiwan)? (it says behind the battery, on the phone)
What ROM are you running?
How much are you overclocking?
What applications do you have installed?
Are you trying to use the 'NEW' CommManager (the sleek one), or the Old Default (for stock ROMs) that is tacky?
And any other detail you think is important...
From that i may be able to help you more!
Hey,
thanks for helping me out.
I have the Taiwan version and the China version.
both of them are currently using the NRG rose 1.4 rom.
i have programs like,
Sktools, phone alarm, facade and S2u2 installed.
But i had this issues before installing any programs.
it happens on and off. and sometimes a softreset brings it back.
the rom came with the HTC comm manager.
but I switched it to the tacky one cuz it loads up faster and i don't need to scroll.
Thanks

S2U2? Are you even using an Excalibur? If not, you have posted in the wrong thread, as this is for EXCALIBUR phones. Although i guess windows mobile is windows mobile no matter what phone you are on.
I would do some google'ing...search for errors related to programs, bugs, or glitches that might make them interefere with the phone's normal functions. I would try looking at Facade since (if i am correct) that interacts with the homescreen, which i suppose could accidentally screw something up with other system functions.
These are all guesses, and I can't honestly think of anything else...It is really up to good google powers now haha.
Yea I'm using the Tmobile Dash. lol
I use S2u2 as the locking program.
it works well. the old locking program didn't work too well for me.
I had this issue before i knew about facade or installed it.
thanks

Oh, i was under the impression S2U2 was only for TouchScreen. Anyways, so the problem did happen BEFORE using Facade...hmmmm...thinking time!
I will get back to you as soon as i can think of a solution for your situation. However I am busy on my theme!
My current solution...Upgrade to one of the WM6.5 ROMs...they are awesome IMHO and probably give you better battery life...

Issues with 6.5.3??

Hi all,
im currently using Hikey 9.3 ROM which uses build 28002.
It is by far the best, fastest and definately the most stable ROM to date. 5 weeks now and not even ONE soft reset!!!
I have a few small issues but being a slightly more unknown ROM its not well supported so thought I would ask here as I believe the questions could be 6.5 based rather than ROM dependant.
1) Task Manager doesnt close apps only minimises them. In 6.1 this can easily be changed through task manager itself but no such options on 6.5. Any reg changes etc??? p.s. dont refer showcase - love it but freezing issues big time with 6.5 and no current solution.....
2) The standard keyboard changes from qwerty back to default after every soft reset. Just because I havent reset in weeks doesnt solve the problem.
3) Data connection stays open. My email updates every hour and my weather every 2 hours but the data connection doesnt turn off which murders my battery. Any apps or advice here??
Thanks
Hi
I'm using l3v5y's 6.5.3 rom, build 28014, only to issues. 1. when locked you have to tap time first, then unlock. 2. the dailer is missing its skin, i installed ryon WM dailer to fix this

whats going on here

Hi all,
please excuse the vagueness of this post.
I have just been given a tp2 as a replacement to my td2
My wife also has the tp2 which she got a year ago
the whole look of the phone (software ) is totally diferent
for instance the program page used to list a few progs (your choice) and then you had to hit all progs to get them up.
i am guessing that its a different rom or different version of sense?
also how do i change/edit/remove some programs from the list?
cheers guys
you'll need a registry editor to get the job done here, you can find that in the Theme's and apps section, i'll be back with a link, but you have to navigate to --
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu
and where you see
EnableManilaStartMenu = 1
change the one to a zero and restart the phone, should work.
thanks for that
sorry to be thick but does that just enable me to move the prog icons or delete the progs as well
appreciate the help

You don't need to edit the registry to turn off Manila. This is easily done from the Today settings.

Different issues, my friend. Sense is the UI (aka Manila versions 2.1 and 2.5) you see when you start the phone. It is on by default, but you can turn it off in the Today setup and use the much less memory intensive standard Window Mobile screen. Go into the Today setup and turn off Sense by removing the check mark in the list and putting a check mark on Windows Default.
As for the bloatware that comes with the phone, anything on the ROM can not be removed except by flashing a new ROM. You can delete shortcuts from your start menu for programs you don't/won't use, but the programs will still be there. Do a search for Crud Scraper, a neat little tool that can 'remove' stuff from specific phone models (it worked great on my Tilt 2). Beyond that, read up as much as you can on modding your phone. This place is a great resource. Unfortunately, easy answers are hard to come by. You have to roll up your sleeves and get a little dirty.
