You will probably have to create an icon that is in the .ico format. If you look around deviant art you will probably find one that is already created.

Just to be sure I did a hard reset and only loaded UL. Same result.

Running on an Apache with Helmi's WM6.0

Thanks
I get this same exact result on my Mogul.

P.S. Lots of threads on "freezing phones" most having to do with UL and no fixes other than "do a hard reset".. I know there have to be more solutions, because there are many people that use UL..

Its a matter of the UL ini file getting corrupted. Usually its a result of trying to do something to another today plugin within UL. It is definitely in your best interest to configure any plugins outside UL and then put them back. You can recover without a hard reset if you are quick and get to the uninstall program screen before the phone freezes or if you have SBPP or other program that has a safe mode you can uninstall/reinstall UL or replace the ini from backup if you backed it up. Its a pain but I have not had this happen to me since the first week I had UL installed and I tweak it all the time. Your best bet is to make sure you are messing with the today plugins outside of UL, have the ul ini backed up if something does happen.

Thanks, I tried without any plugins at all, only UL and without getting to configure it, on first boot, today screen already locked/frozen.

I found out it's a bug, and may have something to do with activesync auto running. After flashing to 6.1 rom everything works fine..

Yeah thats true anything like HTC home Cust has to be removed from UL all together. Even something as simple as changing the clock settings or icons will corrupt UL. I haven't found any other way than to remove the plugin and replace it once i soft reset.

Re: Ultimate Launch
 
I'm glad it working for you. The activesync thing is the same thing I had happen when i corrupted my ini at the beginning as activsync would show up on the screen and it would just freeze. I was trying to update SBP PP from within UL and I realized that that caused the corruption. The only other program that did it to me was when I tried to integrate HTC Home which caused the same problem for UL when I tried to do anything to HTC.

I am guessing that the UL ini file was already FUBAR when you removed all of the plugins which is probably why you still go the same result even after you deactivated them in the UL Config.

At any rate make sure and back up!

Enjoy.

Oddly enough I had it lock up on me with a screen saying that Active sync had sync'd. Which it hadn't. It locked up the device even after 4 soft resets. I had to remove the SD card with UL on it before my today screen would come back up.

Its the ini file. Since you had it on the SD card I guess you have another option. I would suggest you backing up your ini once you get it working how you like so if it happens again you can restore it without having to reconfigure anything.

Did not "remove" any plugins. I flashed a clean empty rom without plugins, no contacts, nothing, new from the factory, and installed UL. On first boot, without even ever getting into the phone, already Today screen locked.

No edits, no settings, no customizations, no nothing, brand spanking new.

Try it, flash to stock 6.0 rom and install UL. Let me know the result.

That is strange I run different ROMs from time to time but right now i have UL running on stock Mobile 6 from Alltel...its the latest ROM update from this month with the Rev A updates. It also run great on my stock mobile 5 on a IP-830 on sprint. Its never been buggy for me unless i messing with plugins. However i did download a corrupt version when first installing some time ago. I just redownloaded and it worked fine.

Re: Ultimate Launch
 
I am having a different problem with UL, although I get absolutely no lockups, so I guess I am lucky. But the problem I am having is with my main UL today screen. I have it set up with the header on top, HTC Home in the middle, and some application icons on the bottom, (very similar to up2nogood's screen using his reflectorized icons.) The problem is that randomly the screen will adjust itself somehow and the scroll bar will appear on the right side as if the screen is too long for the actual touch screen. If I go to UL setup I can check off the Fixed Plug-In Height and set the pixels and it will correct temporarily and the scroll bar will disappear. But then randomly the scroll bar appears again and the screen is too long to fit. I then go to UL setup and disable the Fixed Plug-In Height and the problem will correct itself and the scroll bar disappears. But then it happens again. It is a cycle that I can not correct or figure out why it is happening. I know I probably didn't explain this very clearly but if anyone can make sense out of it and knows how to correct it permanently, please let me know. Thanks.

Have you tried to make the fixed plug-in height as big as possible. What I mean is increase it until you see the scroll bar, i.e. I set mine initially to 300 and got the scroll bar and eventually set it to 234 to get the scroll bar to disapear.

Yes I did that and the scroll bar initially disappears, but then, as described, the scroll bar reappears because the screen changes length, even though the fixed height stayed the same. Can't explain it any better than that, and I have no idea why it would happen.

Need some help, and I figured I would try here before trying to contact Handango or the creator....

I downloaded the trial, loved it, so I bought the full version. First I entered my activation number and got the 'thank you' message. After soft reseting, I still have the on screen message about not activated. So, I uninstalled my trial and then reinstalled from the link that was sent from Handango. went through all the edits, and it still says I have not activated my software. I've entered my code numerous times, but it never takes my name up top. Anyone else have this issue? What do I do???

Thanks in advance.

You need to enter your registered name as the the device's Owner in Settings. Then it will work.

That's the whole problem.... The box where the name is supposed to go will not accept anything typed in it. I type my name, and nothing shows up. I've uninstalled and installed 3 times now, and the damn thing still doesn't take.

No you need to enter you name as the Owner of the device. Click on Start, Settings, Personal, Owner Information and then enter your registered user name there. That's what did it for me.

When does it change length? When scroll to a another tab? If so it may be that the contents of the tab are to big to fit in the area UL has to work with. Can you post screen shots of the tabs of UL you have and tell which one gives the behavior of scrool bar reappear? Also include what the tabs contain i.e. which plugin and such...

No it has nothing to do with changing to another tab. It is the tab I have set to startup. It just has the UL header, then below it, HTC Home, and below that 3 app icons using up2nogood's reflector icons. I have no idea why the scroll bar appears.

I was just curious, is there anyway to get the separator lines (between icons/applictions) back into UL?

eehrhard 05-11-2008 09:52 PM
Re: Ultimate Launch
 
There are two separators in UL a vertical (Margin) and Horizontal (separator) The margins will put padding the Separator will put a line or block between sections. You can also add text so you could have something like "-----MEDIA------" dividing your UL items.

I was able to get it to install but now htc home the part with the clock and the tabs stays on the top. Have htc home set as my invisable tab so how do you get rid of or disable the one on top, downloaded the home customizer but not sure if thats what you use.

eehrhard 05-14-2008 12:19 PM
Re: Ultimate Launch
 
Do you have HTC Home in UL and as a seperate plugin? You need to disable HTC home as a today plugin and only have it in UL. If i remember correctly you might need to change a setting in home customizer to not force HTC home to the top. It can be done in the registry also. I am not positive that is required as I refuse to install HTC Home on my phone.

If you like the look of HTC home you can do much better by downloading and using BatteryStatus and the HTCHome theme that is somewhere in this thread. It gives you the clock and the notification area. If you make the UL tabs drop to the bottom you can even reproduce the look of the HTC Home tabs. Its much more configurable and much easier on the memory.

middlevil 05-14-2008 10:50 PM
Re: Ultimate Launch
 
Yes I have it as a separate plugin when I get to that tab on the cube it tells me that the plugin is already active, would like to keep it on one of the tabs untill I find something better just need to figure out how to disable it. ](*,)

Re: Ultimate Launch
 
Hallelujah finally got it to work just had to go to the today settings and disable home and UL then re-enable UL, but now HHC won't let me change any thing . Is there an easy fix for this or do I need to do a reinstall.

eehrhard 05-15-2008 07:50 PM
Re: Ultimate Launch
 
You shouldn't have to reinstall you probably need to configure it outside of UL though. Deactivate it in UL and reactive it as a today screen plugin make your changes and reverse the process. Then go get batterystatus and uninstall HTC Home :)

I am not sure how to do the history thing short of just linking to the phone and hitting the history button. There may be a parameter for the phone exe to bring history up but I am not sure. There is a program for speed dial called makecall.exe i think it is available from ultimatelaunch.de free. You create a link to this program like any other but put the phone number you want to dail as the parameter and you can make a picture icon and use it as the icon or any other icon for that matter.

I don't see the calculator.exe in there and I tried putting it in as u typed it but it said a error and is there any other icon converter that is free..?

eehrhard 05-24-2008 01:42 AM
Re: Ultimate Launch
 
I use sk shortcut manager to find program locations. If you install it it comes with a trail and you can use it to see the details of all of your links. I looked at the calculator in the programs folder and it definitely says /windows/calculator.exe but if you choose to go to a link instead of the exe in ul just navigate to /windows/start menu/programs and create your icon pointing to the calculator shortcut in the porgrams folder.

I do not know of any free icon programs. Maybe someone else here does? I know you can use photoshop if you have that (not exactly cheaper but hey if you already have it)

Try the free VJPhoneShortcuts (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJPhoneShortcuts)

From the website:

Quote:
Install this app to have a shortcut to the Call History screen and the Speed Dialer Screen on WM5 devices.

Tested on the Universal, but should work on the Wizard et al.

Current Tools:
-Enable Speaker Phone
-Jump to SpeedDialer
-Jump to CallHistory
-Load Inbox and check Pop Email (you must be in the Email account to use this, eg not in SMS account. This will be improved in the future.)
The shortcuts to call history and speed dial work fine on my WM 6.1 Vogue. I haven't tried the others.
