What is the equal to HTCAPI.dll on the touch hd - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I was playing with the sensor api but when I tried the testapp for the navsensor, it could not find the HTCAPI.dll, after a lot of googling it looks like it is only on the diamond, but there has to be a similar library on the HD, so does anyone now how I fix this so I can play whit the nav sensor? Whitout have to copy the HTCAPI.dll to the phone. I have read that this could make som programs unstable like opera.

there are 2 versions: one makes opera unstable, the other is ok. And on HD there isn't and equal dll, so you have to install this one, if you need it. Search in HD forum, there is the right dll

The differences between the 2 TF3D cabs and other things !!

I had the first TF3D cab installed on 10/31 on my Xperia till 3 days ago. i then did a hard reset and installed the new cab posted by itje.
the differences are quite remarkable: at least 50% faster than the first one, much more stable and dose'nt slow down after a while, all panels are working including audio, albums and youtube.
the only thing that i noticed, still no support to certain bluetooth functions, also your bluetooth connection drops if you had the WiFi on bug.
it integrates nicely with my BMW 650 I-Drive and i get all my phone book " more than 300 contacts" up in less than one minute.
I also noted that installing Dashwire slows the Xperia greatly.
and finally installing the above cab did not mess window media player and i can still see my videos.
All the Best !
Did you use the panel install for either one of those? Im asking because I dont know if itje cab is compatible with the panel install, the first one by daran works great with the panel installed.
I used the Panel install on both cabs.

I did the same thing. First the TF3D of Daran. Then a hard reset. Then Manilla HD from itje. Installs fine and is quite responsive.
However: Album is really not working. Nor does YouTube.
This was done on a Dutch VF machine.
Really hope for improvements in the future.

Thanks for clearing this!
What about the language? I got a german X1, will this mess up my whole device?
interesting. It looks like the standalone youtube cab and the manila cab (that packs youtube as well) are different then. I installed the standalone youtube cab and it screw up the video playback.

heyyy after installing the cab....im unable to see this manilla hd thingy......after goin to settings>today>items i cant see any hd plugin either....wat could possibly be wrong???
im using the default WM panel..
Well, there's a beta 2 for Daran's cab and beta 3 will supposedly be out next week, whereas for itje's there hasn't been any new updates. Since your installation of Daran's cab was on 10/31, could it be that you're using beta 1? The results of your comparison might be different if you did a comparison using beta 3.

Can Opera be inactivated on HD?

I am using a software which provides me information in the forms of texts and figures. Everytime when I opened figures on my HD, Opera activated itself and took over the role of viewing figures. Subsequently, all the informations including texts and figures must be viewed by the Opera, and crashes frequently occured. I wonder if Opera could be inactivated so to prevent this problem.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Can anyone help?
I think your problem is that Opera is declared to be the standard browser. Maybe changing this would help. As far as I know this is done by changing some registry keys.
Is it possible to change the link in Touchflo 3D on my blackstone from opera to another browser ?
I dream to click on the Internet'tab, and when I tap on Earth's picture :NetFront run instead of Opera.
I couldn't find a way to change the default browser. Does anybody know how to do it?
I remember having to do this on one of my older PDAs. I believe the instructions that I followed were roughly similar to the ones found at this link.
Note that this is actually for Windows Mobile 5, but there's a good chance they will still work. Just make sure you note down all of your original settings before you change anything. And, as always, try at your own risk.

i had the same problem. i was using uptodate medical program. the software is designed to be used with PIE. so what i did was google the regedit. there are a lot of regs to be editted to change from opera to PIE. basically what u could do is open regedit on a pda without opera browser. just change the main .html, .htts etc to pie. hope this helps for a start. but if you still have problem. post a reply and i'll give full regedit amendments. thanks
please e_cam23, i am also a fellow uptodate user and i have the same problem.. using uptodate on the blackstone is a painful experience for me :'( sometimes it works and sometimes opera opens and then crashes and takes me back to the previous uptodate page pleeeeeease help me out i am trying to make IE the default bs i couldn't on my own..
UpToDate
In the latest version(16.3) of UptoDate, crashes occur far less frequently. Try it out and you will feel relieved!
I am not sure where to get it from i got it from a friend on a dvd..
forgot to say that all the method i found for touch pro and diamond and kaiser did not work on my hd.. editing registry values in RAI under shell to iexplore and Pocket ie,, also a file by darkness which tells me unsuccessful installment when i run it :S
In new opera (official release), there is an option default browser inactivation.
It may help you, freinds
change default browser on Touch HD
double post
Sorry
All,
from my understanding Opera is 'hardcoded' in TF3D, changes in the registry will not have the effect you want. From my knowledge there are two ways to overcome this.
1. use SSMaPa to patch another default browser into Manila.exe (works also for some other applications)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
2. use VJBrisk to route the program launch of Opera to your preferred browser
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477519
I hope this helps

install new version of opera doesnt mater wether on the device memory or the storage card but i did it on the storage and then uninstall it you'll end up with explorer being the default browser for everything and this is the only way that worked for me

newbie need help...please

i just get my htc touch diamond original in malaysia with touch3d ver 1.1.34571.0_1630.38. my diamond is new with original softwares.Previously i used symbian smart phone. But i found some trouble when i use win mobile because i do not understand it well.
i have a few question, i will be glad if seniors in this forum can help me.
my questions...
1)my touch diamond have only 80++mb for my device, remain 3.2gb is internal storage.i found problem when i install software because the message said not enough space. so can i install the software on "internal storage"? or can i do a new partition that make my device 1gb?
2)how to use .cab files?
3)if certain software that come in .rar @ .zip format, how to install in my diamond? (just extract it in paste into the diamond or have to install using active snyc?)
4) my original set come with activesnyc cd, but can only work with window xp, but my os is win vista....how to solve it?
5) i found that my diamond is damn slow, i found the forum " List of Diamond Tweaks " that can increase the performance of the diamond, but i can't found registry editor in my diamond.
6)the g sensor seem very great, but actually how to use it?(i only found it work in opera browser, how to use it in games likes need for speed undercover?)
7)the footprint add-on, i like to have it on my diamond. it is ok to work on my touch diamond?
8)the gps softwares, the pda shop give me the QuickGPS. but how about other like Papago , copilot n navitel?actually how it works?
9)i saw the new touch diamond2's ui, with is better than the one in touch diamond1. can i install the diamond2 ui into diamond1?(worried about it because the RAM n ROM in diamond 1 is smaller than diamond2, screen size also smaller)
thank you very much for reading my post.
Ok, welcome and use the search button up ther that it will solve almost all your future doubts...for now, i'll tell you what i know.
1)YOu can install the softwares on the internal storage, but not the "System" ones, like Opera, Touchflow 3d and others. You will see, if you install it and it doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it on the device
2)Just tranfer than into the memory (any, storage or phone) and click the file on the phone.
3)Extract it on your computer, if it's a cab, do step 2. If it's a folder with an "EXE" file, double click it. If it says "not a valid win32 aplication", just transfer to the memory and execute the "exe" through the phone explorer. If it's a windows installer, connect your phone through the activesync and install it.
4) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-download.mspx
5) There is no built-in, download and install the PHM Registry editor or TaskManager or any other. This is my personal favorite: http://freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmanager.shtml
6)The first one is my favorite:

or

7)Can't say, never used it.
8)On my diamond i have Igo 8 (http://www.igomyway.eu/product_4.html) and works perfect, just like a Gps-only tool. I also know that some others like Destinator and TOMTOM work really well.
9)Not yet finished, but it's being ported:

Well, if you do official HTC update from their site with your own S/N you'll not loose your warranty. In my opnion cooked rooms are better, but i won't tell wich one. That depends on the programs you like and how you like your diamond, is really personal and it's a "Forbiden" discussion here. It's up to you to read the posts and see if it's worth it a try.
If you have any more doubts, you can PM me for opnions, but i don't think this thread is a good place to discuss this, cause the matter already been discussed several times.

Perfect way to set up my Touch HD? Trying to play Pokemon

Excuse me, I've tried multiple times with varying degrees of incomplete success to play Pokemon on my HD.
Graphical Performance is the issue and brings me here to ask for the best combination of Rom/Tweaks etc so I can have the best working HD ready to tackle the problem.
I also do not know how to access the registry* to perform registry hacks but please do mention such hacks as I just can't sift through every thing available on the internet (have tried for 2 days) just to find a working combination of hacks and mods and roms.
I also need to know what will be needed to be installed to correctly play Pokemon in full landscape mode with an invisible gamepad overlay in Morphgear.
Is there a better gameboy advanced emulator than Morphgear, if so please mention.
Thank You.
*I tried Total Commander but couldn't find the registry location with it exactly.
Hi Connor,
To make Pokemon work with the Touch HD, as you mentioned you do use the MorphGear emulator. I'm not sure if there is a better emulator or if it can be used in landscape mode...
To use MorphGear, simply download the program and install it with some modules (here).
Note: The modules are .cab files, transfer them on the HD and install.
Then download a good skin for gamepad like this. Now just transfer some ROMs (http://www.rom-freaks.net/) on your HD and load them with MorphGear.
To access the Registry, using your file explorer (Total Commander) go to the Windows directory and locate and open a file called RegEdit.lnk (i.e. registry editor).
By the way, are you using Stock ROM? just thought i'd mention that many cooks (people who make custom ROMs) also incorporate these 3rd party tweaking tools into their custom ROM releases. For example, the one i'm currently using (XannyTech Grid Evo 1.7C) has a Tweaks directory containing applications like 'Advanced config', 'HD Settings Tool', 'Registry Editor', etc by default. If you want to install these individually, then again search the forum for these. Another few i know of are called 'HD Tweak' and 'SKTools', which allow you to tweak and optimise your HD further.
You can also check out this article i came across for information on other tweaks: http://ec30.com/category/utilities
I hope this helps you out.
Regards.
Thanks that does help to give me a single source of tweaks to draw from.
Hope none of them should conflict and become redundant.
Any other tweaks helpful to performance are still welcome.
Now, about the ROM, which windows mobile/manilla combination should I use? Apparently 6.5.3 performs worse than 6.5.1? Does it? I do use custom ROMS, right now I'm on... Miri's 6.5? Premium Rom. Don't know if I should have chosen Premium but the next option down didn't feature Touch Flo.
Does anyone know how he has an invisible landscape overlay:

(you should probably turn off the sound)
Thanks for your help.

No problem at all mate. I would suggest that you read this thread, it gives you information on the latest builds and what they each offer in terms of stability and performance.
You can maybe consider Topix ROMs - they are generally quite fast as they are kept as close to stock. I know that Topix 3.2 has been benchmarked in this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516190) thread - and yes: It's slower than 6.1 Topix. Still, 3.2 is one of the fastest 6.5 ROMs I've encountered - and the benchmarks do not necessarily represent your experience: For me, the latest Topix ROM seems almost as smooth and fast as the older ones! The difference is only minor! Especially since Kwbr uses Manila 2.1: The ROMs using the newer version of TouchFLO off of the HTC HD2 (Leo), Manila 2.5, have been known to run slower... but that's understandable as they were intended for use on the HTC Touch HD2, which is more superior than the Touch HD with more processing power, etc.
I currently use 28014 build (6.5.3) and in my opinion, I think its quite fast. I would reccommend you try out the same version as I currently use, if not satisfied, then try out Topix.
Regards.
If you're having graphical performance issues you could try a wm6.1 rom as in general they'd be faster than 6.5. I tried Dutty 3.9XT for awhile and liked it, it's very simple without a lot of extra things added. I've also tried EnergyRom (both 6.1 and 6.5 versions) and they were both very fast.

WVGAFix for HD2

I've just installed TomTom 6 on my Leo and I'm getting the same 'squashed screen' problem that I had on my Blackstone.
I could get round the problem on the Blackstone by running WVGAFix3 by Cotulla, but this doesn't seem to work on my Leo. I select the resolution I want but then nothing happens.
I've tried searching Leo forums for "WVGAFix" but got no hits
Is there an equivalent of WVGAFix for the Leo?
just install the VGA version of tomtom 7!
Thanks, I've already found a few posts that say that TT7 VGA works, but
I'm having trouble finding the cab for that. I've found a couple of posts with links to rapidshare but the file is no longer available there.
Also would I have to buy new maps to go with TT7?
And does TT7 work with TomTom Home 1.5 - the latest version of Home didn't find my Leo so I reinstalled v1.5 and that seems to be OK
Thanks again
looking for this too, wanna play my older games
Also looking for this. I cannot run Pocket UFO and some games on the HD2 due to WVGA.
I would love it for Palm heroes... stupid vga only.
Well I use tomtom 7 for qvga and it works good.
However saying that yes it looks squashed when vertical but I use it mostly horizontal where it actually looks great.
TomTom could move their ass and do a wvga version, that would be great.
