Has anyone found a better way to overclock the processor? One that stays on at all times?
Thanks -Mike
Hi Mike,
If you mean you want OMAP Clock to run automatically when your device wakes up from sleep mode, then you can make use of Notification Queue.
I use Memmaid and add OMAP Clock into Notification Queue (set it to run when the device wakes up). Now, I can have my Prophet running at my desired speed at all times I use it. For me, it is perfectly OK, if it goes back to its orginal speed when it goes to sleep as I can save some battery.
Anox.
I have bad experience with OverClock my 818pro(ENG OS)
and would like to share with all user.
1. Don't set 276 HZ otherwise it will hang the phone function.
2. Don't set 300 HZ otherwise the PDA will hang.
It will cause the following problem:
1. Indox box cannot work.
2. When incoming phone call, it will automatically shut down the phone. However, outgoing call is fine.
3. Active sync cannot work.
I throught that hard reset can solve the problem but wouldn't work. :shock: It cause me to refesh the ROM from repair centre.
When I set the clock to 276 sometimes the device restarts so now I'm not using it anymore.
For me the original speed is acceptable.
I did crack it at speed 216 MHZ, works fine
I set it at 252 and I see a huge improvement. Avantgo opens faster than on my 624mhz Axim.

Further you can put this overclocked omapclock lnk to the startup directory to have it on oc at the get go...
i've kinda played with the startup order so that it boots up as one of the first programs.
Now i boot up in 1min 45 sec and that's with phonealarm, pocketbreeze, messaging (make it startup so that i don't have to wait 7-10sec everytime i wanna send out a Text or email) all starting up after a soft-reset.

hi can you pls post how to set this to run by every start up !!!
As far as MAX speed... that's individual. My 8125's (Wizard) ... one maxed out at 250 the other at 300 before crashing. It's trial and error. Go to the Wizard forum for details on how to test, and set it up on startup as well as wakeup. the thread says overclocking in the title.
cheers.
Well, the standard safe speed is 240, at least that's what they say most frequently. I also heard Jamin's working fine at 260. Anyway I don't belive there's a big difference between 240 and 276, considering 240 is already 33% faster than the normal clock.
Procedure of Overclocking at every startup
1.) Copy the program to anywhere you like
(e.g. Program Files\OmapClock.exe) In Pocket PC
2.) Copy the file and paste shortcut to anywhere you like
(e.g. Windows\start menu\OmapClock) In Pocket PC (Must use shortcut)
3.) Connect your computer with activesync, copy the shorcut file that store in Pocket PC to your computer.
4.) Use the Window XP software, "Notepad" to open the shortcut file >
Change the content to "\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 216 (Attention :-clock 216 means the speed of overclock is 216. Suggust you use 264 or below.)
5.) After make change the shortcut file, copy this file from computer to replace that shortcut file in the PDA.
6.) Open MemMaid program, select "Notification Queue"
(Second Icon that from left to right)
7.) click "Add" and select Program choose the shortcut file > select Event and choose "The device woke up" and click "Add"
8.) Select "Start Up Program" (Forth Icon that from left to right)
9.) click "Add", find the shortcut file.
10.) Close MemMaid 1.5 program and soft reset.
sas90850 many thanks for the advice.
However I can not keep omapclock running every time the device wakes up. when the device soft resets the clock speed will correctly be set to 252 however the notification que when the device wakes up does not work. can you advice more on the matter? I folloed your exact!! instructions .
thanks again for making things more clear.

This has already been covered in another thread. Do a search on omapclock. It explains how to make the overclock program load everytime the device comes out of standby or when you load specific programs.
Does anybody has problems to the camera overclocking cpu over 204?
Nope am ocing all the time, and no problems with any app, including the camera @252

Thx it's works fine for me ... very good help
Overclock to 252Hz will have auto soft reset problem. Overclock to 240Hz work fine. Just let everyone know this.
heya sas, don't know if this is conclusive, but didn't suffer from auto-soft resets at @252. This observation was before flashing to the S200 qtek 2nd rom.
Slide 2 UnLock is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don't use your device.
Since there have been a lot of changes after v1.10, this new thread is opened for easy maintenance. The previous development thread is at here.
The original v1.0 was released from http://rychlicki.net/en/2007/04/01/174 on April 1. I only picked the SLIDE.EXE up & after copying & pasting some codes, it's now v1.17. Recent changes are:
v1.17 (22-6-2007)
1. fixed the bug of "ShowSpbWeather" when the weather source is not the default one
2. some bugs fixed
The followings only work on WM5/6 devices
3. added option "BlankOnTalk" - turn off the LCD when the phone call is talking. If you want to turn on the LCD, simply press the power button.
4. if SLIDE is already activated before a phone call is incoming, SLIDE will be hidden when it's ringing; and SLIDE will be reactivated after the call
5. no more polling jobs, all system state changes are handled by iLock now (using the SNAPI). The result will be more accurate & uses lesser power (uses lesser power also apply to WM2003 version)
6. added missed voice mail and missed MMS counts
v1.164 (17-6-2007)
1. "ShowSpbWeather" follows user's Spb Weather settings: which city is selected; C/F option
2. fixed the bug of potential hang up of Trinity
3. fine tuning on WM6 devices
4. if "Password/Pin Lock" or "Owner Information" are enabled to display at woke up, SLIDE may quit by itself
5. added an icon to iLock.exe
6. some bugs fixed
v1.16 (10-6-2007)
1. added 2 little animatons, one you may love & one may not
2. if you have Spb Weather installed, set option "ShowSpbWeather" to 1 to show the current day's weather info
3. added option "AppointmentTimeFormat"
4. "ShowAppointment" now shows current or tomorrow appointment info
5. if your device's locale setting is Chinese, the date will now show in Chinese (but the Appointment details still CANNOT show Chinese characters) and the format is fixed
6. it now works peacefully with the OS built-in "Password/Pin Lock"
7. SLIDE behaves more inert to the "Phone" app
8. some bugs fixing
Start from v1.1, INSTALLATION is necessary! If you have used any other methods to make SLIDE.EXE runs on wake up event, please UNDO it before using this version. Read "How to use" for details.
If you want to show your appreciation, you may buy me a coffee by clicking here. Of course, send me a thank you message is also welcome.
Please read the README.TXT for the details & FAQ.

FAQs
The following files are included in this release:
SLIDE.EXE - frontend locker
iLock.EXE - background job; wait for right event to invoke SLIDE; provide system info to SLIDE
GFX (folder) - contains all the necessary graphics for the locker; fully customizable
readme.txt - this readme file
history.txt - history of Slide 2 Unlock
How to use:
=========
1. A simple 1 step INSTALLATION is necessary - use the CAB file to install, pls select the right OS version.
2. After installation, there are 2 shortcuts created under \Program Files\Slide2Unlock:
iLock.lnk - start/stop ilock.exe (on the 1st run, it runs silently in the background; on the 2nd run, it closes iLock & SLIDE)
Slide2Unlock.lnk - manually start SLIDE (be sure iLock is running in the background, otherwise the Battery status will not be updated)
3. A shortcut for iLock.exe is created automatically under "\Windows\StartUp" as well.
4. Everytime you change the settings in the registry, please restart iLock.exe to reload the changes. HOW? Run the iLock the second time, it will close itself & the SLIDE. Then run it again to stay in the background.
5. To UNINSTALL, use the "Remove Programs" under Settings.
6. Installation on Storage Card is NOT supported (for the sake of stability).
7. For Smartphone users, you can unlock by pressing the D-Pad when "DpadOn" is set to 1.
iLock config (in the Registry under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock):
===========================================
1. the Date & Time format can be customized by changing the keys DateFormat & TimeFormat:
DateFormat:
(Pls read the readme.txt for details.)
For example, to get the date displays "Wed, Aug 31 94"
set DateFormat to ddd',' MMM dd yy
TimeFormat:
(Pls read the readme.txt for details.)
For example, to get the time displays "11:29:40 PM"
set TimeFormat to hh':'mm':'ss tt
Non-english devices may still have some problems for the format of the date/time, please use the most basic date/time format like:DateFormat set to d'/'M'/'yyyyTimeFormat set to H':'mmIf you do not want to have date/time display, just leave them blank.
2. After the unlock action, SLIDE.EXE can be sent to background if:CloseApp is 0
It'll further speed up the loading time of the next execution, but it'll eat up the memory (5MB). If you want it simply exits as version 1, set:CloseApp to 13. The speed of the button can be configured by setting:Speed to n (where n is 1, the slowest to 5, the fastest)
4. If your device has a VGA screen, to have better fit font, please set:VGAfix to 1
5. Load the .bmp, .jpg or .png file you want; make sure to include the full path of the file & the files fit your screen (i.e. 240 x 320 or 320 x 240 in size)Wallpaper set to "the full path of the file that will be used at Portrait mode"WallpaperLandscape set to "the full path of the file that will be used at Landscape mode"
6. If you want to "auto start" SLIDE.EXE when the device is woke up, set:Autostart to 1 (0 to disable)
7. To turn off the LCD by SLIDE.EXE, you may specify:OffLCD to n (after n seconds idle, the screen will be off; minimum is 5 seconds; 0 to disable)
8. When the OffLCD is enabled, you may specify whether the device is suspended or remain active but with LCD turned off:BlankScreen set to 0 or 1 (0 to suspend the device; 1 to turn off the LCD only)
9. For WM5 device (or device with the capability to turn off the backlight), you may set SLIDE to start automatically when the device's backlight is turned off by:IdleStart set to 1 (0 to disable)
10. Similar to IdleStart, ACIdleStart has the same function when the device is charging:ACIdleStart set to 1 (0 to disable)
11. Similar to OffLCD, ACOffLCD has the same function when the device is charging:ACOffLCD to n (after n seconds idle, the screen will be off; minimum is 5 seconds; 0 to disable)
12. Similar to BlankScreen, ACBlankScreen has the same function when the device is charging:ACBlankScreen set to 0 to suspend the device; or 1 to turn off the LCD only
13. If you want to install SLIDE to other folders or the storage card, please update the key:Slide2UnlockPath to "the new full path"
14. To show your current or tomorrow Appointment information, set the key:ShowAppointment to 1 (0 to disable)
15. To change the format of Appointment's time, change the key: (works on WM5 or 6 only)AppointmentTimeFormat (use the same syntax as TimeFormat)
16. To enable D-Pad input, set the key:DpadOn to 1 (0 to disable)
17. If you have installed Spb Weather as well, the current day's weather can be shown by set the key:ShowSpbWeather to 1 (0 to disable)18. To turn off the LCD during a phone call, set the key: (works on WM5 or 6 only)BlankOnTalk to 1 (0 to disable)

=====================
1. Cannot display UNICODE (for faster loading time & uses lesser memory)
2. GSM signal strength and Operator Name will NOT be available on WM2003 devices (but can be added manually)
3. "Missed Call", "Unread SMS" & "Unread Email" notifications only work on WM5/6 devices
4. If your device has slide-out keyboard, SLIDE will quit automatically when the keyboard is slided.
5. SLIDE may run slow in Landscape mode or even the screen turns blank. No solution yet.
6. Reported not compatible devices: Japanese OS, Thai OS

Wao A_C! You have done such a huge improvement to the programme.. Thanks a million! Great job.
OK, before I proceed to try out this new great version, just to confirm, it's POSSIBLE to remove 'iLock' from \Window\Start up after putting it there, right? Just follow the step 6) of your instructions to use/install Slide:-
6. to UNINSTALL, run the iLock under "\Windows\StartUp" a second time to close the SLIDE.EXE & iLock.exe. Then delete all files from "\Program Files\Slide2Unlock" and delete iLock.exe from "\Windows\StartUp".
After my last 'experience' of removing iLock from Start up folder, I am a bit concern of putting it back there.
Thanks A_C. There is a problem with v1.13. In V1.1 the battery indicator worked ( turned green) when I plugin my PDA to the Charger/PC. Now in this version it's no longer working. Cheers

Do you have iLock running?

Another question, will iLock execute itself upon softreset? Like you said the last round, there may not be enough time for the PPC to reboot properly esp if iLock is placed in the 'Start up' folder and 'Slide2Unlock' is set to auto-shut down within 5 sec.

Im also having the same problem. Battery indicator not working at all, whether it's plugged in or not.
Also, what's the difference between running iLock.exe and slide.exe??

That's why I've disable "OffLCD" by default. Besides, running the iLock under "Windows\StartUp" will not invoke SLIDE, iLock will only sitting there. And the recommended setting for "OffLCD" is 15 seconds.

As I said, I've rewrote the Battery Status & it's coded in iLock.exe. SLIDE will no longer actively polling the system for the Battery Status. Starting from v1.1, there is a very close workmanship between iLock & SLIDE. If you don't want to run iLock.exe, pls use the old version.

I am running the iLock.exe and the battery status still does not work. I have the app installed on my storage card. Everything works fine so far except for the battery status. It always shows the battery as being empty.
Very Nice Work.
I attempted to use previous versions on my apache and they eitehr didn't display the time correctly, wouldn't start up or would crash. This one seems to be a gem.
Many Thanks.
OK, Sorry- I've got the battery indicator working- my mistake- I've put the slide.exe in the startup folder before - Should Be Ilock.exe. Nice works and many thanks again.

Pls follow these steps for installation on Storage Card:
1. copy everything to your Storage Card's folder
2. copy iLock.exe to \Windows\StartUp (don't tell me you're not willing to spend just few kb of internal memory ), then run it.
3. edit the registry & change the key "Slide2UnlockPath" to the path specified in step 1 (must in full path)
4. run \Windows\StartUp\iLock.exe twice (i.e. to close & start again)
5. FINISH

Sorry, may I know whether it's ok to copy and paste iLock in Start up as a shortcut or must it be a duplication of the iLock programme in the Start up folder? Or there's no difference between this two?
Hi
I've tried paste 'iLock' as a short cut in Start Up folder. After changes to the Registry, I activated the 'iLock' twice but the screen background did not change. I've put the jpg file in the 'Res' folder, so I only need to change the file name, instead of the whole path. I've double check and there's nothing wrong with the new file name.
Would there be any problem if I first started off 'iLock' from the file in the 'Slide2Unlock' folder, instead of the 'Start up'? I accidentally activated iLock from the short cut I previously created on my iLauncher.
Or is this caused by the pasting of 'iLock' as short cut in the 'Start up' folder?

Just tried, the shortcut/lnk will not work. Pls don't make it too complicated - simple is beauty, right?
I really like this app, been following the thread for a while now trying the different versions, its going from strength to strength, i like it...
one small gripe tho, (really small) when can we have an icon for the ilock app? hehe something slidy and locky, would just polish it off me thinks, especially for those that have ilock as an icon on today screen.
Also, im using it on a Universal, can i replace the bitmaps with the correct res images? ie 640x480 format? and if i can is it possible you have the fish at those resolutions? Im not to really fussed if they consume a little more ram, think it would tidy it up a little more for us hi-res users.
And as another off the top of my head idea, as the registry is now used to store config, a v small config page would make life alot easier:
all in all i love it
Tried pasting iLock as application in Start up folder, but the changes to the background still doesn't take effect.
I've also tried '\Storage Card\Background.JPG' and it still didn't change.
[Edit] The path to the image was successfully changed in the Registry tho'.
I will update my post today, and maybe I will put a Chinese readme on it.
Works on My 2003 SE
Great work!! just found this App and love it
But are ther any update on GSM signal strength and Operator Name will NOT be available on WM2003 devices (but can be added manually) ?
tried the method
For WM2003/SE or non-mobile device, you may use this trick to show a fake operator name & signal:
- add this key to the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\state\phone"
- add the following keys:
"Current Operator Name" (REG_SZ)
"Radio Ready State" (REG_DWORD)
"Signal Strength Raw" (REG_DWORD)
But Not working for me, Thanks
READ MORE TWEAKS AND TRICKS ON PAGES 19 and 44 of this thread !!!! Hello everyone , iam starting this thread becaus it wil be easy to gather all tweaks and tricks and softwares needed for htc polaris to make it more easy. This thread hould contains all the tweaks and HTC cab files or customisers for htc softwares i hoop that everyone agrees here with this thread !! DON'T USE Kaiser tweaks U WILL END UP HARD RESETING the device thats what some people here are saying so be careful !!! but below tricks won't do any harm except u will benefit from it !!
1. HTC random access manager :
to make it easy to scroll in contacts like that of iphone (alphabetical at the righet side of the screen) irst go to CONTACTS >>> menu >>> options >>> uncheck the show alphabetical index
and then do this tweak to also access t in dialer:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]
"0"="Contacts"
"1"="RandomAccess.exe"
this tweak makes the random access possible to use also with the dialer. Some how after restarting the device the contacts random access will not be accessed so here is the solution copy Randomaccess.exe included as attachment in to the windows folder pof your device.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Use 6 Tabs with htc home :
You need to edit your registry to get our music tab back,
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome
Add new string,
Tabsetting = 1,2,3,4,5,6
You can change the order of the numbers to sort the tabs how you like
1 = Clock tab
2 = Favorite People tab
3 = Weather tab
4 = Launcher tab
5 = Music tab
6 = Profiles tab
refresh the htc home to get the tabs u can do it by unchecking the today contects and then checking it and it will refresh and
people who missed the favorites home tab delete this registry key :
HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD\Quickdial
delete it an drefresh thats alll and u will get all the 6 tabs !!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Start Menu sound problem solved :
when u click at start menu it does not give a sound here is the cab to install and problem will be solved soft reset after installing see the attachements below
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13. How to change the Long press keys and short press keys to any prograam u want:
we know that the Long pressing of RED call button brings us to HTC end key but there are other buttons that u can long press or short press to link it to a prograam u like like power button to use slide to unlock (S2U2).
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnk (Power button)
if u want to link any rograam u want to above buttons then just copy the .exe of that file and paste it as SHORTCUT and then rename it to above and after that put it to \Windows folder !!!! if u want S2U2 when u press power button then just go to file explorer and then to \Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe and copy and paste it as short cut and then rename it to Long_Power or Short_power and place it in \Windows folder. press power button and it will start s2u2 or press power for 2-3 seconds for long press and it will start s2u2. Its really easy if u cannot do it send the file name if i have it i can make them for u guys.

Mahmood, thanks for starting this thread. I'm blundering my way through setting up my Polaris (2 hard resets so far ) so I need all the help I can get.
This is a very nice thread, I hope there will come more tweaks, but I don't think that will be a problem...

Mahmood said:
Hey guys this will be agift for u all . There is two theme that i have made for the htc polaris. One is Htc audi manager GREEN version and the other one is an iphone version so i hoop that u all will like these two themes. The green them i have extracted files from Pdaviet ROM and then put them in CAB file. U can install and the uninstall with no problems and u can always come back to orignal htc audio manager theme. when u want to try the second theme first u should uninstall the first one u installed and then install the second one. Any way see the screen shots and below is the file that contains both the themes.

Do this:

Go to : hklm\software\htc\startupanimation\GIFFile

Based on the Advantage 7500 I'm sure it will be good. But of course Olipro's Hard-SPL unlocker also will be necessary. Right now his thread in this forum is just a placeholder. But for now, I can live with the ROM that came with the Polaris. Of course I don't know any better

31. Performance tweaks:
kwabbernootje said:
Step by step guide dedicated to increase the performance of your HTC Touch Cruise.
1. Speedup Touchflo by increasing Frames Per Second
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\
- Change "DownFPS", "LightFPS" and "UpFPS" from default 15 to 60
- Change "LeftRightFPS" in 60
2. Increase Touchflo sensitivity
- HKLM\software\OEM\TFLOSettings\FingerPressure
- Change from default 2908 to 10892
3. Better Touchflo scrolling
- HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel\PressureThreshold
- Change from default 18866 to 19866, 20866 or 40866. Makes the scroll better.
4. Disable Large startmenu
- Go to "Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Large Start Menu"
- Disable large startmenu by unchecking the box.
5. Disable the HTC Taskmanager
- Go to "Start -> Settings -> System -> Task Manager -> Button"
- Disable "Enable the "X" button to end running programs" by unchecking the box.
- Disable "Enable Quick Menu on Today screen" by unchecking the box.
6. Increase font cache
- To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:
- HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 or 32768 (DWORD decimal)
- To change it back to the default:
- HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
7. Enable FileSystem cache
- To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)
- To disable again:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See "Increase FileSystem cache" to incease the cache size.
8. Increase FileSystem cache
- To increase the file system cache:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
- To return the file system cache to zero:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
9. Increase FileSystem filter cache
- To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
- To return the file system filter cache to zero:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
10. Disable Menu Animation
- HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu, make sure the value of "AniType" is 0.
- This disables the menu animation which helps in speeding up the device.
11. Disable ClearType of screen fonts
- Go to "Start -> Settings -> Screen"
- Select the "ClearType" tab
- Disable "Enable ClearType" by unchecking the box.
12. Fix slow scrolling large webpages Pocket Internet Explorer
- By default Pocket Internet Explorer is very slow scrolling larger webpages due to rendering problems. This can be fixed by replacing the file called "webview.dll" in the "\Windows" sytemfolder with an older version. The attached CAB file puts the faster webview.dll in the windows folder. A softreset is needed after installation. (you can simply uninstall the patch by using the program manager and restore the webview.dll file to factory default)
13. Smooth video playback
For video playback buy Coreplayer 1.2.0 Qtv edition. This release does NOT fix the driver issue. However they have figured out the QTv video overlay API’s and are able to take advantage of them. Fixes in version 1.2.0 related to QTv:
- FIX: Qualcomm QTv / Camera issue
- ADD: Qualcomm QTv Hardware Overlay support
For converting DVD movies quickly take a look at CloneDVD Mobile.
Request for information: Anyone tried to increase the pool size on a Touch Cruise yet?

37. How to change the date format on the Today screen
Abbsta said:
I wanted the date to be displayed to my liking and luckily I found a thread in the Kasier discussing it so any credit should go to the posters of that thread.
How to change the date format on the Today to whatever you want, almost:
First what I had was 02/02/08 which is represented by the name SSDte (I think)*. If you have a long date like 02 February 2008 then it would be SLDte (I think)*.
Navigate to: HKLM\nls\overrides\
Edit or create new string:
Name: SSDte
Value: ddd, dd MMM yy --> Sat, 02 Feb 08 (what I have now)
or for example
dddd-dd MMMM-YYYY --> Saturday-02 February-2008 (you get the idea)
Restart and voila.
*I first created a string with a name of SLDte which didn't work so I deleted it and created another with the name SSDte and it worked.
Hope it is of any benefit.

nice ones added them on first page !!!

its a good idea to deactivate the camera-sound.
On my device it reduces the (very) long releaser-delay.By the way it resolves the problem that everybody look away after the "click" thinking the photo is done...

we can also change the "LeftRightFPS" from the default value ''30" to something like 50 or 60
with this we can have faster the right/left move........
Hi,
Like most (all?!) I'm looking for the holy grail - more time away from the charger for my HD2!
As per my previous HTC Diamond I'm thinking a good way to help me on my way is to switch to 2G most of the time and then to 3G (well, AUTO to be precise) when I'm actually doing something that requires the connection (surfing / steaming / pulling down a few Mbs of email attachments etc). While some might say this shouldn't be necessary, tbh it worked for me previously.
I used to do this via a slider on the CommManager thingy. However there isn't one on the default HD2. Is there an easy way to make use of that extra space at the bottom of the interface?! Any other suggestions to easily achieve this?
Thanks in advance..
Comm manager does the job

Hi - thanks for the super quick reply!
Could you possible explain exactly how I get the built-in Comm Manager to display this missing slider? I've looked around and can't seem to find it!
(thanks again)

There's also a cab floating around that will insert that option in the Comm Manager.
I will attach it here - I hope the author doesn't mind.

Thanks for the above. I had a look at this before (and again just now) - looks good, but doesn't quite work 100% on the HD2 yet.
- using flight mode breaks it (seems to disable it even when you've come out of flight mode, never to work again unless reboot);
- the disconnect idle connections bit breaks push mail, so I have to turn this feature off when using push and then back on again when not using push - would be much better if it could auto-detect on the fly;
- a few other random bugs
All in all a great effort (HD2 version hasn't even made beta yet - still dev build!) so no complaints, instead I await a more HD2-finished version with interest.

Ah just what I wanted - ALMOST!
Being picky.. this replaces the Push Email slider with the 2G/3G one.. now I use this Push Email slider quite a bit, so ideally (for me at least!) I'd want it to replace the bottom one (the WiFiRouter option - hardly ever use this). OR, better still, to add an additional option onto the bottom in the wasted spaces.
Can this be modified?
(thanks again)

Yes we em... it can
But you have to edit the Registy via Total Commander or another RegEdit Tool.
The requried regkeys can be found at:
HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\
There a several SubFolders numbered from 0 to x.
Those SubFolders are the buttons in the CommManager.
Each Folder contains at least a <default> key which contains the command to run.
You can reorder the Position of a button by renumbering the folders.
If you want to add a button (e.g. you have 6 Buttons but want 7, you'll find 6 folders numberd from 0 to 5), add a folder named 6. Step into this folder and add key named Default (type is string). Aferwards add a value to this key (e.g. MobileWifiRouter or 3G). Afterwards you have to change the <SupportedFunctions> Key in the root folder of the CommManger from 6 to 7.
To get back to your "main problem"...
To re-enable the Pushmail Service Button you have to add the following key/value pairs to a numberd folder.
Default = AUTD
Execute = \Windows\repllog.exe
ExecuteCommand = //remote
Aftwards restart the CommManager (or better the device) and you should find the Pushmail Button again.

Excellently detailed post! Much appreciated - will give it a whirl this evening
i installed the mobilewifirouter separatly through the bowmanpackpro.zip
however for key 6 in the registry, whats the execute command for MobileWifiRouter ??? can someone copy and paste this
also it wont let me add new folders there, it says already exists??
Hello
The easiest way in my opinion is to go into the windows folder. Copy the file cmbandswitch and paste it as a shortcut in the programs DIR. You can then assign it to a quick link on your home page. Works a treat for me. Just select it and the menu to change from 3g to 2g or to auto pops up.
I've heard and read so many good comments about ANDROID, I decided it was time to make the switch and I went for the X10 yesterday. I was very excited !!
But after one day of use I am starting to feel frustrted... the more I play with the phone, the more I feel trapped and lost: I need help !!
FILE SYSTEM
- A file explorer was not present (a bad vibe went down through my spine...), so I downloaded a couple of "file explorers" from the market and tried to explore the phone's contents but I couldn't
How can I explore/browse the phone's folders and files ?? (not the SD card, but the phone itself), hidden / system files included ??
EDIT Rooting + Estrongs File Explorer solves this
- How do I save content into the phone's memory ?? (not the SD card)
EDIT Rooting + Estrongs FE solves this
APPS FOLDER
- How can I customize the apps folder ??
- How to rearrange the shortcuts ??
- How can I edit a shortcut ??
- How can I create a shortcut for an app listed as "installed" but lacking a shortcut to be launched (no shortcut for voice recorder or latitude) ??
EDIT Estrongs FE can create shortcuts to the "home" at least...
CONTACTS
- How can I sort my contacts ?? (Last/First name)
- Where is the option to assign each one's facebook pic to its contact ??
USABILITY
- How to enable haptic feedback ??
EDIT Only the keyboard can provide haptic feedback, still finding a way to enable it everywhere, throughout the whole system
- How do I choose which folder to save an attachment to ??
- How do I select text from an email to copy it to another application ?? (email app)
- How do I save copyed text into a text note ??
EDIT Third party note apps solve this
- Double tap won't zoom, pinching won't zoom, but this thing is capacitive !!
EDIT Yes I know I canzoom with th onscreen buttons, an OS refresh will solve this
- Nothing happens when I click the battery icon. How to create a shortcut to my current battery charge percent ??
EDIT Yeah this is one of those "I have to switch my mind from WM to android" ones, so consider it solved
- And where is the battery page at all ??
EDIT Found. I am such a stupid android noob LOL !!
- How do I multi-select items (emails, messages, contacts) to delete, copy or move them ??
- Where is "google talk" ?? (my friends with android phones keep asking me to open "google talk" but I can't find it on the phone nor market)
EDIT I was able to install gtalk after rooting, had to search for the APK myself
ANDROID is supposedly "open" and "user friendly"
Being new to Android, it' probably my fault/lack of experience only.
Am I missing something here ??
What's going on ??
I am as confused as Adam on mother's day
.
the same thing happened to me xD
and I know you and I come from an x1 XD
is not that hard, you have to check the options for the 3g if not say bye to the battery gauge also to your data plan if you have o.0
I suggest you open the User Manual that came with your phone.
Most of your questions will be answered in it. There's no double-tap to zoom in 1.6, but will arrive with the 2.1 update later this month. Having a capacitive screen has absolutely 0.000000% to do with it.
Also, a lot of your questions can be solved by a "Long Press"... aka, hold on the item you want to select for a second.

If it only were as easy as a "long press"... huh...
But your second point is valid: some of my issues with the phone could be related to the old OS... maybe an OS refresh will help
@alankstiyo:
Indeed I went X1 -> X2 -> Topaz -> HD2 -> back to X2
This is my first android experience and it is not fulfilling my expectances, maybe they were too high...

For the system files I think you have to root your phone first, and install Astro File Manager.
You can manage your file (system or SD card) there, including copy, paste, move, etc.

Root was EASY and FAST (aprox 5 seconds) with this little APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8259140&postcount=174
Those complicated step-by-step stickyed rooting threads should be replaced by this simple, fast and easy APK that does everything at once and automatically
NOW I HAVE FILE ACCESS, YESSSSS
Let's start solving all the other issues
Grab I am happy to see you again after moving from x1. Hope to see some development from you here

- Double tap won't zoom, pinching won't zoom, but this thing is capacitive !!
What are you trying to zoom? For photos in mediascape you just have to
tap twice, for browser there's an option tools that allow you to zoom in or out. In Dolphin browser
you can zoom in and out by gesture. Pinching won't work, because X10 doesn't support multitouch
- Nothing happens when I click the battery icon. How to create a shortcut to my current battery
charge percent ??
Use the 'battery indicator pro' apps, you can find it in Market. The apps
can show you how much percent that your battery's life left, the battery temperature (so you don't
overheat the phone).
Or you can type this at your dialer : *#*#4636#*#*. It'll show you the battery information along
other information about your phone
- And where is the battery page at all ??
What battery page?
- How do I multi-select items (emails, messages, contacts) to delete, copy or move them ??
I think you can't multi select your contact but CMIIW
- Where is "google talk" ?? (my friends with android phones keep asking me to open "google talk"
but I can't find it on the phone nor market)
I have this apps from the start that i bought it, it's a default apps for android phone

Yep, the timescape feature is cool. But I don't know why ppl doesn't like it a lot.
If you want to add icons to your default desktop, just press the 'menu' button from your phone (located lower left of the phone), then select 'add' (there's a 'plus' icon), then you can choose to add your application shortcuts, widgets, or folders.
To move the icon, just long press the icon you want (till the phone vibrate) and just slide to move it.

Thank you mate, I'm starting to squeeze the juice out of this shizz and I'm loving it
1- Rooting made a GREAT difference
2- After checking Astro, I STRONGLY suggest and recommend ESTRONGS FILE EXPLORER, I can even explore FTPs and other PCs over my LAN !! Seems to have incorporated unZip too, WOW... so much to discover...
3- A contact tipped me about downloading gtalk apk from another forum... testing...
My mind is still setled with WM, I just have to change the mental cartridge and let the hamster run again
msntalk is the best msn client at least for me works great so far XD
i even can chat over fb yay!!!
strongly recomment angry birds, which I'm uploading and sending to you xD
advanced task killer is a must
switch pro makes a huge difference for quick launch settings
sms unread count and sms pop up are a must, i can bear living with that small message on the taskbar when a sms arrives
idk so many things to dl xD

in gmail you select the eamil by the tickbox before the subject

Now I know for sure it was the best step to choose an X10 after my beloved x1! Since Gtrab got one too! Congrats with your x10! You'll need to get used to android first.. At first I missed winmo very much, but now I can't imagine using another!
