Need to find the registry entry to take the HTC Home Plugin out of the Today screen plug in lineup? I've done a search for the past 20 minutes, and it won't come up.
I remember in one of the forums for WM6 someone posted it.
If anyone has it or the link, please post it. Thank you!

Catman51 11-20-2007 06:58 PM

Think I found it from Pibe38:
To make HTC Home movable you need to perform the following registry change...

HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS\HTC HOME
change TYPE from 5 to 4

Yotoad,

glad you went ahead with the upgrade...I don't think my full writeup is needed at this point because i can see others are having sucess with the ROM. Of course some people want more customizations, like HTC home movability, or adding some programs here and there, but those are easy things to do after the upgrade.... I am glad Rob released a somewhat "stock" version. I am heavily using the performance speed applications and running smoooth at 624Mhz, the overclocked speed. I might try the XCPUscaler program to speed things up in a different manner, but let's see...

Rob said said he is working on the slidesound issue and send me a PM to tell me this. Anybody else have problems with slidesound? It kinda sucks having this program cooked into the ROM and its not working (crashing)...it would make my day to have this work..

I just installed piscel 1.0.5 and the phone is just a gem...

rxb216 11-20-2007 07:15 PM

search around for and you will find:

vista hide battery gauge (i use this too), in an exe form

HTC task manager, in cab form

But i highly suggest you use pBAR instead (in exe form), it kicks the crap out of HTC task manager (the latest 2.0 version of task manager is supposedly a memory HOG)

On a screen with scroll bars (other than an excel spreadsheet), the touchflo allows you to scroll by sliding your thumb or finger along the middle of the screen. Very cool; I actually removed it though because my fingers made the screen too greasy.

TouchFlo does not work on ours ppc6700, or yes, how I can do it?

rxb216 11-20-2007 09:59 PM

its working just fine on my B7...

i think you need to "run" the program first however, i dont believe its included in the startup programs. just browse to the accessories directory in from the programs folder and look for touchflo and run it.

Yes, placing TouchFlo in the startup folder will cause immediate problems with the screen calibration on first boot. However, after you have set your device up feel free to cut and paste the TouchFlo shortcut from the \Windows\start menu\programs\accessories folder and place it in the \Windows\startup folder

jg1980 11-21-2007 12:53 AM

Thank you rxb216, thank you robmayer. I need a bit of more help:

Issue touchflo: Yes, I can see that in accessories folder...I ran touchflo but OS said "Ftouchflo already running" (error message). Do I need to install additional programs?, I read something about "cube" in this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11945

Try soft-resetting and run TouchFlo again. The camera is linked to the camera button. Hold it for about 2-3 seconds. I should have put this in the programs-> accessories folder but somehow I left it out. It will be there in the next build.

yotoad 11-21-2007 03:29 PM

i'm having a couple of screen calibration issues -- is that due to touchflo? if it is, i don't need it, so i won't activate it

rxb216 -- thanks for the tips -- i have the vista battery exe and just downloaded pbar -- i've used magic button in the past and installed last night -- i'll see which one i like between the two . . .

yotoad 11-21-2007 03:53 PM

just installed pbar -- really great app -- it does both of the tasks that the HTC task manager and vista battery gauge did, plus more (comm manager, soft reset, etc.)

About Camera: Yes, you're right, just copy and paste "camera.ink" from \Windows\AppButtons to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, then go to Start\Settings\Buttons and associated the button whith the camera. Sorry I was :???:

Thanks frabrijack for your post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...477#post127477

About TouchFlo: still it doest'n work...but really it's not important.

Thanks again.

I donnot know whether this rom occupied too much storage memories, cos when I restore my backup with spriteback, it tell me there is not enough space left(not the storage card).
I really don't wanna reinstall all the software everytime I renewed the ROM.

You are going to have to reinstall your software...you _Rarely_ can successfully do a software restore after upgrading a ROM (it may succeed, but you'll have messed up your registry and possibly overwritten newer files from the new ROM).

Catman51 11-22-2007 12:07 PM

I found that too. You are much better off reinstalling everything, because a restore from backup does not work.

HI All,

I am having a bit of problem right now trying to Install ROM for XV6700 Verizon. I kept on getting an error of : Upgrade ROM Utility Error". Does anyone know what should i do?
I have an XV6700 w/ Verizon and currently have HTC ROM version 3.50.00 WWE dated 4/25/07 running and it's work just fine. But i just want to tryout the new ROM that you guy have. I am using a laptop w/ Vista Business Edition. Sync between Laptop and Phone are just fine.

Please assit.

Thanks

jamz 11-23-2007 02:32 AM

Not my voice mail number...
 
Just upgraded to B7 and have Messages/And Missed Calls on my Today screen. It shows I have 1 new voice mail ( I do). When I tap it, it wants to dial *86 instead of my actual voice mail number. I can't find anywhere where there is an *86 stored in my phone. Not in contacts. Also my correct voice mail number is listed in phone settings.

Any ideas? :scratch:

Thanks..jamz

badkarma 11-23-2007 05:03 AM

Thanks for the WM6 ROM robmayer. I was holding off since the last Kirvin's C&S was rock solid stable for me. But WM5 didn't support some of the BT functions in my new car.

Been missing a few apps, specifically Total Commander, WMStorage, HTC Task Manager, etc.

Is there a way to edit the registry with GSFinder?

lengfengfly 11-23-2007 08:31 AM

Thank you so much Great Robmayer! I like the ROM very much.
But with the newest version by now, my contact list doesn't sort by Chinese name as former former former version of your ROMS.
Why is this? Can I do anything easily to correct it?
Further more, the office folder in "programs" menu always copy itself, I don't know what caused this. I have "office mobile", "office mobile (1)" and "office mobile (2)". This never happend to me before.
TKS!

riironman 11-23-2007 09:07 AM

I had to revert back to your B4 version rob. It wouldnt let me store my email attachments to my 4g memory card....it wouldnt give me the choice. I thought you had the storage card drivers built in on B6 but on B7 i had to install the drivers again. Also i tried using the home customizer for the kaiser plugin but the home customizer didnt work.

Druu 11-23-2007 09:20 AM

I had the problem with the home customizer as well, my only solution was to disable the built in one then install another one. For some reason if its cooked into the rom the customizer doesn't seem to know its there. Maybe if Rob cooks in the customizer as well, it will work. :).

rxb216 11-23-2007 10:42 PM

this was answered earlier in this thread, i had the same issue, but all is well now

No he said he was taking them out, not everyone has SDHC cards (like myself), just install the cab for sdhc floating around this site and you should be ok...

I just Switched over to the Verizon Clean Rom. Seems to run fast the way I like it. My question is, do I want to delete my extended rom or do I have to leave it alone. Also, It seems like I would have to use a kitchen to create my own boot screen but I do like this rom. Any easier way to do this? By the way... I'm a NoOb

ibedanny 11-24-2007 09:35 AM

Where can I find a copy of TCPMP that matches the color scheme of HTC today????

riironman 11-24-2007 09:38 AM

rxb216..like i said i had to install the drivers again BUT..when you go to the outlook mail attachment storage preference my storage card doesnt show up as a option although my phone reads the card fine. just a outlook problem

robmayer 11-24-2007 01:04 PM

Don't have a lot of time, but in answer to the HTC Home Customizer problem... this is what I assume to be an incompatibility issue with the HTC Home 2.x and the customizer. The B7 ROM has a new HTC Home version and that is proabably why it doesn't work. I'll look around to see if I might be able to do something about it though.
Also, search the forums, there might be something on here that someone has already mentioned.

spn9999 11-25-2007 04:02 AM

Anyone have any suggestions for this?

or this?

Quickly tapping your fingers on the buttons DOES dial the number but does not light up the buttons they way they do if your finger lingers a little bit longer on them. Is there a way to speed up the response time?

Jamz,
For default voice mail settings, try start/settings/personal tab/phone. If you like, you can modify the string to include pauses ("pp") and your password.

Hi Rob, Great work on your roms, I was using them on my old phone but I had to replace it and the new one came with bootloader 1.04 and I could not install your latest B7 do you have a version for BL 1.04? in the works?

xv6700 WM6

richjolliff 11-26-2007 11:24 PM

To fix the voicemail issue on a sprint network go to the phone in settings. erase your number and retype it. exit out and try it on today screen. should work now.
Rob, I am having trouble now with a bible program I have. I am using v.6 The bibles are stored on my sd card. when I leave the program open and the phone shuts off, the program freezes and then crashes when I try to use it after turning phone back on. It did this in wm5 but never in wm6, until the upgrade. any thoughts?

acc3366 11-27-2007 12:56 AM

Hello to everyone. I am new at this...... I installed the 1908_B7.........I LOVE it. It is just what I was searching for. My only problem is that I have a lot of non-workiing shortcuts from a previous install. Is there an easy way to get rid of them? I have a Verizon xv6700. Thank you for all your help.

tapeworm 11-27-2007 10:18 PM

Make sure to hard-reset. This will get rid of all the junk from the previous ROM.


Also, the cube works great with this. Search around XDA-Developers for it. Just installed it today and I like it!

GameDoctor 11-27-2007 11:44 PM

Custom boot screen?
 
Hi Rob,

Do you have a way to insert a custom boot screen in your ROM?

I made a custom boot screen for the Verizonguy kitchen a while back while testing and I miss it.

Custom boot screens in ROM are a great way to identify a stolen phone.


Your ROM rocks :headbang: as always!

lengfengfly 11-28-2007 04:02 AM

Midlet of B7 in my xv6700 dosen't work. When I select Install, Local, no files and folders can be seen. When openning the jar file directly, it seems works. But ended with a blank screen. Anyone can help me? Thanks!

ibedanny 11-28-2007 07:45 AM

I installed this rom with slide to unlock and magic button to get a battery meter and to be able to close programs to free up memory. I could not be happier. Thnx

yotoad 11-28-2007 11:36 AM

i installed the b7 release a week ago and have added with no problems to report:

octrotalk (on storage card - i only keep it active when using it)
total commander
pocketcm keyboard 0.11b
TouchPal
pBar
TCPMP with FLV plugin
oxios memory
WM5torage
Google Maps

I had an issue with the Home customizer that everyone else did (i couldn't customize it) -- all I really wanted to do is change the clock font, but i can live with the default font for now. also the weather app wasn't updating for me until i read in the forums how to delete the registry entry to get it back on track.

the HTML email is worth the upgrade, as well as the HTC performance application (i think it's much snappier at 520 or 624, can't tell the difference between the two)
