Hi there,
I loaded the tweak only and now ActiveSync doesn't recognize my device. Thoughts?

Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC > Switch it back to ActiveSync... this will fix it immediately.

I could have sworn I reposted versions that didn't modify that... I reuploaded the tweaksonly package with the correct one just in case the last upload screwed up somehow. Redownload the package for future use.

Internet Sharing Enabled via Sprint rather than PAM............does this mean i can use my pro as a modem for my laptop?

GoodThings2Life, props to your tweaks only cab again!

Last night I hard reset my phone for other reasons and didnt apply your cab. Today at work Im messing with my TP and im noticing lag going from menu to menu in m3d. So I reinstalled your cab and things were so much smoother, pretty much insantly(well after a restart..lol). Last time when I installed it I already did some minor stuff but this time I was able to notice the difference more because it was after a fresh reset.

I was a major rom flasher with my touch but im holding off on the TP for now so this cab is a nice alternative to make things run a little smoother without flashing.

How do we add stuff to the Start Menu folders? I downloaded more games and want to add it into the folder but I don't know how.

Goodthings2life,

I would have to say the work you have done is simply amazing. I currently have the Sprint Treo 755p, and I finally made the jump from Palm to Windows. I went into the sprint store to play around with the HTC Touch Pro recently and was unhappy with the lag when messing around with the meu, and the speed of the touch screen when shifting through photos or the phone book.

After doing some research and finding a world of hacks for this phone and people who take the time and actually make the product better and easier to use. It gave me hope that me ordering the phone from sprint would be a good idea.

I went on youtube.com and found this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwkPHY67ce4

This gentlemen felt the same way as I do, but tweaked his settings and did some things to dramatically change the speed and responsiveness of the touchflow 3d interface.

My question to you is does your tweak do the same thing? Does it stop the lag and make scrolling through touch flow much more responsive?

Another question I read alot about me having to unlock the phone and possible do a Hard-SPL to do any changes, but it seems that is only required when I completely re-flash the ROM. You however are only making simple tweaks to the curren OEM-ROM.

So I assume I don't have to do any of this... just follow your instructions and enjoy my phone. I think it would be key for you to put a very short 3-5 minute youtube video to show the world what you have done!

My last question deals with the accelarator (sp?) it allows you use the double touch zoom and features like you can on the internet or on pictures throught the entire phone. Is that a tweak you would recommend and if so how would I implemenet it?

Thanks, and once I put this on my phone I would like to gladly donate, because you make it possible to enjoy the HTC touch Pro

Yes!

Just open Internet Sharing, Click Connect, and then plug it into the computer.

Most programs install shortcuts to Start > Programs automatically... make sure you follow their install instructions when you download the programs.

If they don't create shortcuts, you can create shortcuts on your own using this method:

Tap-and-Hold on any file you want to link to... choose "Copy" on the menu.

Go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and tap-and-hold and choose "Paste Shortcut".

First of all, thank you for the support and feedback! I appreciate it! No donations are necessary. This is all stuff that I did for my own benefit first and decided to share for others with similar situations. I'm just happy to help out.

HardSPL is only required for custom ROM and radio updates. You can find more about that in the Upgrades forum, as it's a bit more than I like to get into.

My package implements as many performance tweaks as I've learned about, but I don't admit to know them all (yet, haha). I haven't looked into a lot of the accelerometer hacks yet. You'll want to search the main forum for stuff like that.
