Thanks for all your help and great info.

Use opera for multiple windows or tabs

You need an external GPS unit to use the phone for GPS (tom tom, etc)

fbk?

Oh, so I should just buy a tom tom and not use the pda. Wouldn't that be better?

Sorry, I meant nk.nbf file.

Thanks!

The phone does not do GPS nativly, you need an external unit to hook it up to.

for the nb file, if the nb file was present in the directory you launched the rom installer from, it will have installed already and the files are in your extended_rom, if it wasn't present when you did the rom upgrade, redo the rom upgrade with the nb.nbf in the install directory.

So you can only use the gps via bluetooth to use it on the 6700 screen. I guess I'll have to break down and buy one of those now.. I hate when I have to buy a new toy!

The latest nb file was in there when I upgraded but what if I want to install a newer one? Same installation instructions?

I thought OBEX was enabled on this new rom? Can't get it to work with my laptop.

Last thing: Not a big deal but when composing an email, you can't arrow down through fields now. It just takes you to the bottom of the email.

Thanks!

I thought people mentioned earlier in the thread that they were having problems with magic button. I never tried it so really cant say. Also check and see if there is an option for you to use the today screen theme. gs pocket magic has that option and you will notice it in the picture i put up earlier in this thread.

BC 02-09-2007 04:49 PM

Will SPB pocket plus work with this?

So, basically you both are saying that disabling InClose or X button clears up the shell error issue?

thats exactly what i'm saying.

also magic button is very, very ugly. the inclose actually produced more shell errors than did htc's.

what does inclose's ''intelliclose'' function do? does it smartminimize or does it close? i didnt use that feature since i didnt know. i just used it as a true close.

Colonel u will have a new file out tonight right?

colonel 02-09-2007 04:58 PM

BC, change this registry setting
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navitation]
4-way nav ---change the dword from 0 to 1

colonel 02-09-2007 05:01 PM

Yes, new file tonight. Plenty to work on though. Trying to get Windows Live to work correctly right now.

gsessons 02-09-2007 05:11 PM

when I use my bluetooth headset to listen to my music, it turns on for about 5 sec. and then goes back off, is there a way to keep it on to listen to my music with my bluetooh (h700). I do have your upgrade.............

couldnt find it. now trying tman 095 ....

colonel 02-09-2007 05:18 PM

gsessons, some other people reported this, but it works fine for me. What are you using to open the gateway?

Also click on this link and try ID transfer instead of bttoggle. Works real good with voice command, and you can listen to audio/video/navigation by just saying open audio with voice command.

OK, with AKU2.2bet2 < InClose works PERFECTLY..!
So you have same problems with 2 different roms, then it could be something other.
I will be uploading again and discarding my previous upload.

So I am thinking these problems I am having with shell could also be various settings they may share and try to override each other, but at this point it's just speculation.

HEY! we should suggest to have this one in the ROM! :P

Alwaysbelieve1 02-09-2007 06:29 PM

i tried Inclose on the Official Sprint AKU 2.0 rom on a 6700(one of my client's) that never had any other roms on it. i still got about 3 shell errors in 10 minutes of use from closing a few apps while testing it.

colonel 02-09-2007 06:44 PM

I would put IDTransfer on, but only helps those with VC. Plus, it is so small that having it in your ExtRom and Program Memory really doesn't take up that much space. I think it would only confuse more people who don't use VC 1.6.

Strangest part is that I can use both BTToggle and Audio.exe without any problems at all. That is what makes this more puzzling.

So, InClose is crap too, huh? Well, what next? I can give Magic Button a shot since it is one of the more popular apps. Thing is, though, this may another whole issue with the rom. Luv2Chill recommended InClose and I respect the fact that he probably would have been using it for a while. Also, it just seems strange that the HTC app worked fine in 2.2. I know that the "Super" Rom for the Wizard that the guys at xda built has magic button in it (Pretty sure :wink: ).

Perhaps I should just pull all apps of this nature to see if the shell errors still occur. This would also let people play with the app of their choice and hopefully find one that worked.

Alwaysbelieve1 02-09-2007 07:02 PM

there u go. that sounds like a great idea regarding pulling the closing apps.

also could u please repost the htc closer cab for me. i couldnt find it here or on the web. thanks

I will probably do that. I am still going through the registry to see if something has been changed. Here is the HTC app.

Maxx134 02-09-2007 07:27 PM

Well at least the O2plus program works without those Issues!

tman 095 is working well so far... you can look at that as a closer as well

runt 02-09-2007 07:42 PM

has this rom affected the ability to program their phone for anyone?

Alwaysbelieve1 02-09-2007 07:44 PM

thanx Colonel

kdoweb 02-09-2007 08:51 PM

please help
 
Can someone here please help me out and upload the last beta version with HCT close on it for me please. I seem to be the most stable for me I accidentally overwrote while downloading the newer version.

Thanks in advance

an excelent idea remove all apps in question and post cab files that way we can all test and give you feed back before you do the official beta3 installer packager.

and can some one please post the last beta with htc in it please!!

kdoweb

Alwaysbelieve1 02-09-2007 09:08 PM

just download the cab he just posted of htc then disable the inclose.

my deduction seems to be the best one. havent tested mgic button with 3.3 yet, but didnt realy like the way it looked at all on prior roms. thats just my 2c. :)

Colonel if u are gonna post a rom without a closing app can u please specify it so i know to install my own then?

thanx

luv2chill 02-09-2007 09:47 PM

I've been using InClose (the same version I posted) for months and months on my Sprint 6700, running on both Sprint's AKU 2.0 and the Telecom NZ AKU 2.2. I have never had a shell error of any kind.

So Alwaysbelieve1, I think your deduction is wrong. I bet you've got something else installed that is conflicting with task managers... period.

Try running a stock AKU 2 or 2.2 ROM (I mean with no other programs installed other than the task manager app you want to test) and see if you get shell errors. I bet you won't.

For what it's worth, I've used the HTC task manager without problems too. But it lacks two important features that InClose has:

1. No exceptions (i.e. you never want to close the phone app nor activesync)
2. No list of running apps.

I have also used Magic Button without problems either. The reasons I don't use it:

1. It replaces the square X with the old-school circle X. In doing so, it screws up any skin with a non-standard top bar color. Really ugly (and I'm not that picky).

2. It puts running apps icons in the top bar, where there really isn't enough room to show them. InClose (and others) use a drop-down menu which makes a lot more sense.

Again, I maintain there is some app conflict causing these shell errors (and Smartskey is not it because I run that with Inclose without issue).

I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of it.

colonel 02-09-2007 09:50 PM

I will have one to put up in a little while, but I have not had a chance to remove InClose. If I do I will note it. As far as other changes, it will have better colors for the SmartDialer, Windows Live, Updated Batti. Still trying to get stupid SIPChange to work. It's really pissing me off for such a simple program.

colonel 02-09-2007 09:54 PM

Luv2Chill, do you run SIPChanger? One of the things I am thinking is that this app is still malfunctioning and may be causing the errors as well. The problem with that theory is that SIPchange shouldn't be affecting the shell. Mostly I am afraid that I may have damaged the registry in some way. One of my goals is to run some comparisons to see if I accidentally messed with something I shouldn't have.

Alwaysbelieve1 02-09-2007 10:14 PM

luvchill- u might be right. i dont know for a fact, but i put windows live on the stock phone right before putting on inclose. i dont have the stock phone any longer as i had to give it back. :( it may indeed be windows live causing all these issues.

i like inclose better anyway. i dont get that many shell errors on my phone so im keeping it.

what does INTELLICLOSE do?

I installed the cab here attached which has three newer DLL's. You may also need to add a reg key:

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/BitPool

DWORD=60

missed the cab:

Yes, I had to install a dialer skin, then remove it using "Remove Programs" and now I can program my phone.

luv2chill 02-09-2007 11:08 PM

Colonel--you may be onto someting. I do not use SIPChanger--never have.

Wouldn't surprise me if Windows Live was the culprit too--I really wish that app worked properly, but I gave two different beta versions a try and they both had a ton of problems. I'm sure it works fine on native crossbow ROMs though... so maybe I'll just wait for that.

Intelliclose (kinda stupid name :)) just means that it will honor the exclusion list (if you've set one up). So for instance if you put an entry in the exclusion list for solitaire then when you tap the X (or choose Intelliclose) it will only minimize solitaire, not close it. For any apps that are not set up in the exclusion list (other than activesync and phone which are never truly closed) then Intelliclose will truly close them.

You can read more about the app from the manual. All I have is a google cache link of the original PDF because the developer's site is gone. If anyone has the original PDF file somewhere, please post it! Also note this manual is actually for InSuite Mobile--which is a commercial package of verious apps to do things similar to resco and spb pocket plus. Just read the section on InClose.

http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache...lnk&cd=4&gl=us

InClose is a great piece of software. It's too bad that the developer closed up shop, as they looked to be very talented folks.

colonel 02-09-2007 11:20 PM

New nk.nbf going up on the ftp. It still has inclose in it. I decided to give it one more chance since I think (crossing fingers) that SIPChange is fixed. Also in are Windows Live and an updated batti. Also fixed the colors in smartdialer, but I am open to others if anyone wants something other than white. I think we could find some better colors as far as contrast. I would like to get some green mixed in if possible. Anyway, play with if you want. :)
