[Cab] Leo SMS Fix for HD (new fix cab added)

Hi all,
I made a cab from the 2009-12-15 Leo SMS fix (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=812&news_id=407), so this can be installed on other devices with Sense 2.5..
I'm on a sense 2.1 rom currently, so can't test it...So be careful, it might break ur SMS function, test with your own risk and always backup (I guess the new 2.02 package has the update already or even a better fix)..
happy new year!!

i'm not sure what it fixes... but it doesn't seem to fix the annoying slow messaging thingy... I was just coverting the .exe which can only be installed on HD2 to a cab that can be installed on every device..
I have heard that the htc messaging in the 2.02 pack is fast, anyone tried it?

what is your point in creating a thread with a cab entitled "sms fix" and you are
not sure what it does? shouldn't you have tested it first and shared to us what
exactly it can help?

no offense, but i agree with jigners... hopefully the OP has had time to test it by now!

Am I the only one in this thread that uses the actual HTC site? or do people just like to hijack threads and flame people who are doing what they can to help the community... As I remember no one else knew what the Leo Camera Fix did either, but it proved useful, at least for some.

Looks to me like HTC don't really say what the fix "fixes" but THANKS for creating the CAB, i'll have a look and see what it effects if anything. If it's worth it I'll cook it in for my next flash

Okay, have just installed the CAB.
So far no noticable difference when sending / recieving SMS.
I'm using my own custom ROM, using WinMo 6.5 28014, and most of the packages from Leo 1.48.
Thanks again for the CAB anyway.

@Jigners
When the fix first came out, I tried it but it won't install on hd. and now I learned how to create the cab, so I just made it. I need to have my phone switched on all day right now and I'm with a sense 2.1 ROM, so can't test it, but I thought someone with a lower leo build may want to try it...
yes, you are right..sorry for let you down.. I won't do it next time.
@Swarvey&PooPoo
Sorry for wasting your time... thanks for your kind words

also gonna give it a go
still on a energy rom of 23-09 whit m2.51919
will report back later
ps gonna restore over 800 messages to test it to the ultimate

well tested it and it works sort off
i can type directly but the message im replying to isnt shown
so its kinda a fix

hi,
have you tried restoring tons of messages to see if the slowness has been somehow fixed ? Last time I've tried with 2.5 the phone almost got stuck (with about 600 messages)

I sort of think the 2 posts directly above your post answers that question don't they

thanks, I could read those, but I'd like a bit more of an explanation:
you installed the fix and restored tons of sms, what I'd like to know is this:
- adding a contact with a lot of sms history to favourites slows down the phone ?
- opening such contact slows down everything ?
- I understand there is no sms history shown in the manila contact at all ? actually that point isn't very clear to me. where is that the original message is not shown ?
what I'd like to know, if you have got time to explain it to me, is what actually the fix changes, and how fast it makes opening sms history on a contact.
One last minor point is that a big sms history had most sms cut to one or two lines.
Regards
Andy

well for from the contact page i cannot tell you as i have flashed my phone a couple of times afterwords(im trying to build my own)
for the sms not shown
when i get a new message i go the message tab and click the sms
there im supposed to see the threaded conversation between the person im replying to
the whole conversation doesnt load(waited about 3 min)
but i can directly type a reply to the text message whitout a lag
hope this sorts of that question
best regards

here is a fix for the slow sunny animation....
I have tested this, it works

does it work for 2.1 manila?
and come on people! just thank this guy for even bothering to create a cab and sharing it in this community.

no, the sms fix is only for Leo package lower than 1.49...and the weather fix is for any sense 2.5.. I think 2.1 manila does not need any fix, both sunny animation and sms are working ok in 2.1 manila

Speech Text Messaging?

Ok, so my city recently passed a huge ban on cell phone use while driving. I know I can have my phone reac any new message to me wehn it is received and I currently have it set up to do so. However, I have heard of other phone coming with a speech to text feature. Is there a wway to get something like this on the TPS where I can speak the reply to a text and be able to send it that way?

I don't know of any specific apps that do this, but I'm sure they're out there considering Bling and Google Maps have this technology.

I dont recomend trying to text while driving & dont like applications where you use voice commands but you should try this one
Code:
http://vitotechnology.com/voice2go.html
(not free but you could try the tial) it lets you control your whole phone by voice and you could add custom commands but im not sure if you could set it up to reply to sms.
ps: by the way nice to see another member from el paso

Thanks for this...I will give it a shot. Not only is it nice to see another member from ELP but also nice to see another person with a TP2!!! I have only seen a couple here in town!

This would be a very cool feature! I am interested in this also. Can anybody help out with this?

microsoft tell me
i had it on my phone ported from i think a samsung device.
it didnt fit too well with the screen resolution and whatnot, but it worked.
although it doesn't work if you have an accent or if you want to send messages to someone who has a rather unusual name

i went to a At&T store for help with something with a friend, he had and still has a verizon blackberry curve but anyways one of the associates there had a blackberry and showed him a whole buch of apps he got from a certian website (dont remember what it was) and one of them was a talk to text app and it work almost perfectly. ive been searcing for an app like that for windows mobile ever since then and that was almost 2 yrs ago!!!! i also just found out a few days ago from my girlfriend that theres a app like that for her iphone. i seriously dont know what microsoft is doin but they need to step their game up and to all the developers out there, you need to beat them to the punch!!!

Read email to you - what app?
What app are you using to have your HTC read email to you?

Didn't pick up on the SMS part. Looking for an app to read/speak email messages(non-SMS). Especially, would be nice to be able to filter by sender, subject, etc.

Ok, so I found a few cabs for TellMe, but they all crash shortly after launching. Any ideas?

im interested in this tell me app so someone respond to miked79928 please!!!

I use TellMeText Version 1.1.0 on my Rhodium Touch Pro 2. It installs and works okay. If the installation crashes, the best thing is to redownload it until it works fine. Also try the app on different ROMS.
I have used it on ARK_N's ROMS as well as on Leo Cell ROMS.
Make sure (I think) you install BlondieSoft_MobileCertificates cab prior to the intallation of the TellMeText cab.
Hopefully this should help.

Why not sooner.
If someone can rip the install from the Samsung Intrepid I think we can get something going.
The only other option is Vlingo and it is buggy at best, you can search the forums and people have had spotty success with it.
This could be a real difference breaker at this point in time in the Mobile Phone wars, I don't know why someone hasn't jumped on it and capitalized, tons of apps already use voice recognition (bing, google) for driving directions, I don't know why in a world where people are dieing left and right from txting while driving someone hasn't jumped on this.

The tell me ap works for some and not for others.. I believe it has something to do with the carrier you are with. That said.. you guys are probably better of going over to the tell me thread and reading through that to figure out how to get it working on your phone. I personally gave up. It would install fine on multiple roms I was running and as soon as I would to go speak a text to it it would just hang then give me some error.
Regardless... no sense in having multiple threads about the same thing!
Do a search in the Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps forum and you'll find it.

TellMe does not work for AT&T customers on their network on anything but BlackBerry. I ran a packet trace and the packets leave the phone but there is NO response.
WiFi works fine but how often are you on WiFi on the go?
You need to install microsoft voice command FIRST then this. Just search, the cabs are posted.

OK, I must be missing where to find this on my TP2.

T-Mo Upgraded WM6.5 Rom comes w/ Mobile Backup, Here's the cab!!

I have searched high and low for a cab file for this app. I got a T-Mobile software upgrade for my TP2. Cool, it was alright, nothing by comparison to NRG's ROM. I did however lose a few apps that were pretty cool: Co-Pilot,Visual Voicemail,etc.
The one that is of importance, though, is the Mobile Backup App. I have checked the threads on here and have ended up with nothing. I DO KNOW this file exists for this format of Windows Mobile. I tried to copy the correct files to my SD Card, but apparently am missing some and don't know what to look for anyway.
So, if somebody out there knows what's up with a cab or exe or files that I could extract from the stock rom, I would appreciate a little "heads up." Thanks in advance for any help.
EDIT: Thanks to SirPhunkee, we have a cab for any T-Mo users that is tested and works perfect on our TP2's. Here's his link to the cab

Did we already have you try this cab? I've handed it to a couple of people recently, can't remember if you were one of them
It's the tmo mobile backup that was extracted from the tmo HD2 ROM, and I think it works on the TP2...too Even if it's looking like it's running ok, make sure you test the sync in both directions (saving to their server and backing up from it) before you rely on it.
I still highly recommend myphone to accomplish the same tasks and more, but this is admittedly a lean solution, so definitely use whichever works best for you

THANK YOU!!

Hi Labarum....sorry about that, what thread is it you're mentioning (the 2.5 sense cab thread)? I must have missed that opportunity, my apologies
Yes, that HD2 thread is where I found this copy, but I thought it was the same as WarlockW's posted cab (which didn't have as handy as this copy). I suspect that they're not different by phone model, but rather by WM version...but I'm just guessing there

You have to call T-Mobile and get them to set this app up on your "plan." What I mean is, it IS free to add to you payment plan, but you actually have to call customer care and get them to add it, but like I said it's FREE. Don't ask me why, but they just have it set up that way. I had the same problem, and it took like 10 minutes from dialing their number to having the software work. It's apparently a matter of account settings or something that they have to tweak.

Now WHAT??
I am running the new NRG ROM in my sig, but IT won't allow me to install mobile backup to this version. I haven't tried the newest ROM from the 13th, but I sense it is gonna have the same problem.
When I try to install the cab, it just says installation was not successful.Anyone else having this problem with the newer ROMs?

Update

Have tried the newest 13th ROM from NRG and it does not let this sync with the server. It says that the device is not supported.

ok, this is just a wilda$$ guess...but isn't it desirable in some cases (like to correct MMS pic size issues) to have some agent ID in your registy other than what the phone actually is? Maybe possible that NRG bakes that in? Or, maybe it just only acceps a certain specific range of WM versions?

Ok, that's an idea, but what exactly could I do to change this? Plus, I am not sure what you mean about agentID. Just thought I would ask, cause I really hate not having this app.

It's a key somewhere in the registry that indicates what model of phone it is (independent of the IMEI), I believe it's used to identify it to the network for things like what size MMS files the phone can handle, etc...and I'm just surmising this becasue I recall that's where I saw the references to it. So, I would probably suggest looking in any threads related to MMS size issues, you'll probably see someone make a reference to a regedit or cab that makes that change, you can reverse-engineer the rest from there I guess.
I rarely go through any of the forum sections other than the rhodium boards and the Tmo HD2 section, so you can probably confine your search to those places if it helps. I'll keep my eyes open for it too.

Still no luck, sir phunkee. I am hoping that when I flash this newest NRG Rom, maybe I will have some luck, but to be honest, I am kinda tired of flashing his new ROM's cuz, they are "supposedly" faster or better, etc.
We will see, but hopefully someone will have a cab or link that could lead me somewhere.

Josh's Black http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572938 came with Mobile Back Up, Visual Voicemail, Blockbuster, My Account, and the proper keyboard (after initial startup) cooked into the Rom... great for T-mo users like us... does not have the newer tabs, but I find I don't use those much anyway!
I installed the Full Version...
Now if I could just get rid of the transparent slide and make it stock again? (just for clarification... not slider or icons)

Many Thanks Guys! Been looking for this.

A few bugs ive noticed... Any fixes?

Hello, i am running 1.66 rom on a generic htc hd2 with a t-mobile contract.
I cant update to the very latest rom because theyve only released it for branded phones!
The first bug ive comes across is the Facebook profile pictures in my favourites list sometimes switch around betweeen different people, so say joe's profile picture appears on bills name! happens every so often, and its very irritating. the only solution is to delete both contacts and re enter them into the phone!
The second is when im texting, at the start of the text, after i have done a few characters, sometimes it scrolls up to the last text and selects it, meaning i can still type, but i cant see what im typing, the keyboard covers everything im typing.
Incredibly irritating, i then have to minimize the keyboard, then maximize it aagain.
Also, a new occurance, when i switch on my phone it says launching htc sence and stays there for ages, when i click the cross, i get onto my phone, its as if sence had already loaded and just not removing the message.
The next thing is the wifi, is it meant to switch off affter a while? my battery went from 100 percent to 0 in about 5 hours! (not even joking) i just leaave it off now..
OOh and whilst im at it, one more thing. Can you sync your emails over data conneection? It always displays 'synchronisation error' when ever i try to sync over data connection, but on wifi it connects and downloads perfectly!
Any ideas on any of these issues? has anyone else experienced them?
thanks in advance

I don't use the Facebook app as it is absolutely usless, but after a search I found this -'Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.'

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

I am assuming you have BSB Tweaks installed? If so you have the 'Wifi Standby' option in Connections selected on. If you don't have it, download it and make sure it's disabled.

I get this regularly (and also having the keyboard go mental sometimes, switching character sets, entering characters when I'm trying to backspace etc). Seems worse when the phone's hot or when I'm outside and it's windy! But that might just be a coincidence.
I actually sent the phone back to HTC a month or two ago (their customer service was fantastic btw - picked up the phone on a Monday, I had it back by Friday all by courier).
There was a note in there saying they'd reconnected the touchscreen. Everything seemed okay for a while but it's doing it again (I've never dropped the phone or anything). Wonder if it's a loose connector or something.
Mine's unbranded, so I'm waiting for the next ROM update (currently 1.66). If that doesn't fix it I'll ask for a replacement phone (not a fixed one).

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

thanks for the help! You say i would benefit from flashing a custom rom 235xx, what type of rom is that? for instance you have energy rom etc. Sorry if im sounding like a noob, but i like the original layout of my hd2, and dont want too change it too much if possible, but i would like the performance increases that come with it. thanks

253xx puts the Start button at the bottom of the screen and makes menus and scroll bars bigger, it's called WM 6.5.x.
219xx is the stock look with the Start button at the top and no so finger friendly menu systems.
That's the basics of the differences between them both.

ok thanks i think ill installl standard reference energy rom 235xx one.
Do i need to change my radio before i flash? i have hspl installed.
The reason being is that i have changed the radio rom before and the signal was no where near as good as the stock radio rom. So i flashed back.

If you have an international HD2 you have to install a 2.xx.50.xx radio before you flash the Energy ROM. if you leave a 2.xx.51.xx radio on the device you'll brick it.

ok thanks, im gonna update the rom now. The rom i have currently is far superior, but i will flash anyway and make the compromise.
Thanks

Thank you for your feedback!
And also thank you the OP who posted about that SMS problem- which I kept reporting with no echoes.
1) Yeah "reconnected the touchscreen" my @ss. That problem was fixed as soon as I changed ROM.
2) "theres a patch for problem with SMS", my @ss, I installed it did not fix anything- Also, if you read the rom's releases notes everything is "fixing the sms". They forget to mention that they moved the "task manager" in rom 1.66 and changed a few other things-
3) i still had lot of bugs with that rom and device. Now some of them are removed and I'm using Artemis 22A- A few bugs but all minor so far- so I finally start to "enjo..."erm hard word to say after so many months of troubles.
4) also for the "quietly brilliant support" you mention, I would not be so happy if you really knows what happens there: it's likely they will swap your device with 2nd hand device as they discontinued the manufacture of new devices. Also they had shortage of 1 part and they took it from random devices...
My point is you also risk to get 2nd spares part or the whole 2nd hand part... not too nice as it does not means that the original fault/flaw is fixed, and its gambling until your warranty expires...

There is a cab for led notifications - do a search
- Can i get pop up delivery reports?
Should be an option in the messaging options, i think?
And last but not least
- is there a task killer download i can get? so my battery doesnt drain.
Built in task manager is good, also try Arkswitch or MMTaskmanager

The second post will help with general info about your new HD2!
LED notifications don't seem to operate in the same way as all the other HTC devices for some reason! I only ever get a blinking green LED when I have a missed SMS, but nothing else. I have been unable to find anything the reproduces this... but a search will take you to a thread detailing a mod which will make the lights around the buttons blink on missed call/SMS/mail etc..
Delivery reports can be switched on - try using something like BSB Tweaks to toggle reports
Another search should let you find something called QuickMenu - which serves a number of purposes, amongst which is a simple task manager, which allows you to "kill" unwanted tasks from running - it also gives you a "classic" style Start button!
Hope these help!
Remember, MOST things can be found on here, so don't be afraid to search - you can almost guarantee you won't be the first person to ask!!!
Enjoy your new phone!!
LOL! By the time I had posted, someone else had beat me to it!! Plenty of ppl wanna help!!

cd78 - This is going to sound like a really stupid question. But what is a cab?
As to the Delivery Reports im pretty sure as im with 02 i dont get them, just wondered if there was anything i could download. Thankyou for you answers though
namwollem - Another really stupid question but what is BSB tweaks and where can i find it?
ill do a search for that quick menu and have a look into. Thanks for the help though
I feel right out in the deep end as if just upgraded from a blackberry and wow the HD2 is technical. Ive got a lot of learning to do lol.

A .cab is basically a "cabinet" for the software/file - you download it, or drag and drop it onto your sd card (through your pc) then click it in file explorer (on the phone) and it will extract and you can select where to install the program.
Look in the themes and apps section of this forum for lots of useful things and use the search bar

Hmmm, good point about Delivery reports on O2 - I had heard that the network doesn't offer them, but I could be wrong on that count. If I'm not, that does pose a problem because if the network doesn't send anything, there is no way of the phone knowing the result of a sent text. :-(
A .CAB file is an installation file. (Short for CABinet - an old Windows term) You would transfer the CAB to your phone and run it from there to install the relevant software contained within the CAB onto your phone.
BSB Tweaks is a program which has LOADS of tweaks and mods which can be easily selected by a simple ON/OFF interface - and makes making these small mods MUCH easier than trawling through the registry for new users!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305&highlight=BSBTweaks is a link to where you can find it!

Cd78 - Thanks for the help, ill do a search in the themes and apps and see what i can come up with. With the .Cab files if i download one and put it onto my device via the windows mobile device center then do the extraction on the phone. Will that work?
namwollem - I know thats the problem im hoping if i can get the BSB tweaks the SMS sent notification will work.
As with the BSB Tweak Thread, i cant seem to find a link to download the programme. Where can i find this? And for the installation on my HD2 is it practically the same as download a .cab file? Sorry for all the questions :/ but one last one do i need to download anything to be able to install the BSB tweaks? Its just i saw on the important note at the top of the thread that .NetCF 3.5 is required. Is this true?
Apologies for all the questions, im really not too sure how to do most of these tech things on my HD2 and i dont want to do it wrong and have an expensive brick lol
Thanks for all your help though guys you'v ebeen great

bsb tweaks can be very helpful, but do not turn on the screen sensitivity or tap time tweaks or your phone screen will be inoperable while in call....

nrfitchett4 - Thanks for the advice. And the attachment of BSB Tweaks.
So to install on my phone i would need to download the attachment and transfer the .cab file to my phone via the Windows mobile device centre and then find the .cab file through the file explorer and extract it, then follow installation. Is that right? or is there an easier way?
Sorry for the really basic questions.

If you have a PC/laptop with Bluetooth, that is probably the easiest way - its the way I move files to and fro. Or if you have a card reader on your PC/laptop, you can copy all the CABs and other files you want onto your memory card, and then transfer the card into your phone, and off you go!
As for whether BSB will enable delivery reports, thats a "No" I'm afraid, it will only react to what you network send out. I do recall reading that if you prefix your text message on O2, you could get a delivery report, how true that is I don't know, but I am sure I have read it in a couple of places. I'll have a look into it for you, and come back to you!

O2 Delivery Reports
As I am not on O2 myself, I cannot check this, but apparently, the following will allow you to receive a delivery report from the O2 network.
Start a new text message and before you begin typing your message, enter
*0# followed by a space and then your message, the other person does not see the code but you will get a message back saying when it has been delivered.

I assume by Windows Mobile Device Centre, you have either Vista or Se7en installed on your PC. I am an XP man myself, but I assume that it is essentially the same as ActiveSync (which XP uses to connect to Windows Mobile devices). Once your phone is connected, you can use the explorer to navigate "into" your device, and copy the CABs of your choice into your phone, so you can run them at your leisure.
If I have missed anything I apologise as I don't know WMDC myself, but I'm sure someone on the forum would be able to help you out on that one!

Seeing as the .NET 3.5 for Windows Mobile is freeware, hopefully posting the two CABs here will not be a problem (needless to say they are COPYRIGHT MICROSOFT).
View attachment dotnet3.5.zip <<< Download here!!
unZIP this file on your PC and transfer the two CABs to your phone, and run them. One will install the actual .NET framework itself, and the other is for error debugging and diagnosis etc..
If posting this causes a problem and a MOD removes them, a search on google should point you to another download location!

Sorry for slow reply, I've been tied up with work for the last couple of days! I don't actually use the Manila clock myself, but I have read that many people don't like the excessive flipping it does when you first goto the home screen. If this is what you mean, there is a modification which will stop it from doing that....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583161
Otherwise, another option is to install the Cookies Home Tab, which allows you many customisations of the Manila home screen (which includes clock faces etc).!
