O2 homezone fix needed!! - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

People downloading the cab: please drop a line after using the software how does it work for you, and also what ROM are you using!
Tested the updated CAB, and found it working with RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.14.401.2_Radio_52.49a. 25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship. Many thanks to K_Hismoom, Cactus World and others for contributing!!
Dear All,
As with all other devices, replacing O2 German ROM with any other ROM disables one useful feature: homezone indication gone! (homezone is specific to O2 Germany, within a desired "homezone" call rates are less).
Can anyone please help with this?? (Older fixes like "battery status" don't work on new devices)
Thanks and best regards!!

I've attached the cab-file. Just ignore the warning, it works like a charm.

the cab will show homezone status on manila or just on phone dialer (upper right corner) ?

Dear chr5s11,
I flashed: RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship
And first thing, I installed "O2Homezone.cab," it gave warning "not suited for your system" (perhaps you said so), went on with installation, restarted, but icon is not showing even while in homezone.
I checked, following files are presnt under /Windows:
- HZService.dll
- YT_AP_bt_homeDn.png
- YT_AP_bt_homeDn_mask.png
- YT_AP_bt_homeUp.png
- YT_AP_bt_homeUp_mask.png
- YT_Home_Dn.png
- YT_Home_Up.png
- YT_PB_TitleBar_home_l.png
- YT_PB_TitleBar_home_p.png
Can you give me more information which registry values to check or what could be wrong??
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards

...strange to hear of your problems, because I just installed it and it works perfectly. Big house on the front, small one in phone mode. Checked homezone range, everything fine, house correctly appears and disappears...

Never mind... Well now I have checked the cab with RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.14.401.2_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship ; still no homezone icon on homescreen (sometime it does appear on phone dialer, probably depending on the type of network. Well I'm sure I'm not the only one having problems.... the original thread at http://www.mobil-talk.de/htc-xda-mda-vda/2986-o2-homezone-symbol.html also reports this problem... so for now its no fix.

This cab is originally intended for the Touch Pro. And it currently works in GSM and 3G mode. Try if it works when switching your phone to GSM only. If so, it is a O2 problem related to their SIM card and network and the best, O2 can fix it for you. It does work in 3G even though some of the hotline call agents deny that - they plainly do not know better ( I had to call several times, let them open trouble tickets and so on until I got it working in 3G, too.).
The only issue I am experiencing right now is that when HSDPA is available it stops working - but again, I assume that this is a "fault" on O2's side as well.

I am experiencing this same "problem" on the stock O2 ROM, in GSM I have the homezone icon, as soon as I have 3G enabled, it is gone (I always have HSDPA in my homezone, did not disable it for testing, so it could be that the icon reappears when I only have 3G available).
So if you get the homezone icon when in GSM mode, the cab works on the HD.

Well, I think when disabling the HSDPA mode via the settings menu it should give you the homezone indicator as well - unless there's something wrong with the SIM or O2 network.

Phone option in iGO8

Hello,
In iGO8 when you look at POI information (for ex. a hotel) you can find its phone number and you could, normally, call directly but it seems not working on Tytn2.
iGO8 can manage a phone because near TMC icon you can see bluetooth icon and in the manual you can read that you can phone directly from iGO8.
Is this problem known by someone ??
This solved the issue for me.
*** FIND THE SYS.TXT IN \PROGRAM FILES\IGO8, NOT \STORAGE CARD\IGO8!!! It will not work if you change the one on the Storage Card and not the one in Program Files ***
(BTW, if your SYS.TXT already has an [Interface] section, add the poi_show_all_btn=1 line there instead of creating a redundant section.)

Adding these entries to SYS.TXT under each section did it for me:
[phone]
driver="TAPI"
exe_path="\Windows\cprog.exe"
win_name="Phone"
[interface]
poi_show_all_btn=1
Hope this solves it...

I think the bluetooth icon is for devices which dont have inbuilt GPS and use a bluetooth GPS device. The icon will indicate the current status of blueooth

MMS pictures Shrinking in size when downloaded

Hi I have a big problem, I can send MMS in full size, but when I get a MMS and it downloads its shrinked to almost 12 kb (very small picture) can hardly see whats on the picture...
I'm on Three network in sweden, I have never had a problem with MMS with them and I had alot of phones from them....
I have tf3d installed, is it maybe causing the problem?
Anybody experience the same problem?
Anybody have a solution?
Thanks
check this thread( in swedish).
Same problem as you
http://www.minhembio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=213547
Ok thanks u, I wrote in that thread but I write here to because I'm here more often...
I have the same problem but it seems I have it even if the sender is not on 3 (three) I tried mms from a comviq mobile and the result is the same....
Have u maneged to fix it in anyway?
I search the net and I can see alot of WM mobiles have this problem, but some in here on the XDA have got a cab to fix it and make mms work...but I don't know if the cabs work on Xperia and sweden.

Have you reported this to the X1-support? If you haven't you should really do it.

I have the same prob on Tmobile USA. I think because my carrier doesnt regconize the handset as one of their known phone so they shrink the pic size to the minium resolution. I dont know if that is true. It's really annoying.

I have not done that, because I think the problem is with the carrier THREE and as romeo0119 wrote T-Mobile in the US, it is the carrier that doesn't recognize the phone, I have reported to them but they are incompetent ***** But I will report to X1 support and see what they have to say.

Hi Kevin,
I have exactly the same issue on my X1 but im with O2 (via CPW).
I received a MMS pic today for the first time and it also re-sized it to 12kb and the pic ended up being rediculously small....
I would be apprecative if anyone else has experienced this or if there is anyway to fix it....?

No still no answer =(
There was one guy who had this problem over at esato and he fixed it. This is hidden in a rather long genieric thread so i'll just copy his post here...
"Basically, it has something to do with the phone not being set up, or directing to the correct 'profile' with the network operator. For example, my settings were directing to the Taiwan HTC website for some reason. Because O2 didn't have these settings, it was defaulting the MMS settings to how they were when MMS was first introduced.
The solution is basically using a program like PHM Registry Editor to change the profile, so it directs to the correct details. However, as there aren't any specific Xperia ones yet, you can have it use those of another phone. In my case, I have used the N95 settings, as these are ones set up on O2.
So, in the reg editor you need to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - Software - Arcsoft MMS UA - Config - mm1 - WspHeader
There will be 6 strings in this part of the registry. You just need to edit the 'User-Agent' profile to:
NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
And the 'Profile' string to:
http://nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml
You don't need to reboot. And that should get the pics coming through at the correct size.
Hope this helps if anyone is having the same problem."

Do someone know how you can hide the error reporting icon in the control panel? I've tryed this:
Code:
<characteristic type="HKLM\ControlPanel\ErrorReporting" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="Hide" datatype="integer" value="1"/>
</characteristic>
but it's still there..

Congrats for yr SWE rom. Try this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Error Reporting]
"Group"=dword:3
"Redirect"=""
It will hide the error reporting from display but you still need to remove the dll and association in order to free the space and resource.
Thanks jackleung, i think i have removed all the things that's associated with it now, but it's not fully tested so i would be very happy if someone could try it out
EDIT:
It worked, thank you! I just forgot a space...
after installing your rom and hardresetting it, the screen calibration wont show up, i need to go into settings and screen to calibrate, is this working in the new 1.2?
Yes, everything that was not working in 1.0 is fixed, after the second boot you may need to press the startmenu, then it working just normal

well its not, no screen calibration or time setting, cant get programs to work, but works with all other roms in this forum. ex. s2v
I removed screen calibration and time settings in the beginning as i thougt it's kinda useless, but i will consider adding it. I have not had any problem with any app but i will look into it.
EDIT: Strange, every 2s app workes for me :S I'm going to try to install a clean install and check how it workes, hold on

okey, so it was no wrong with the rom? thank you so much for testing it as i have no time to do it on my own i thinking of maybe readd the business stuff like ipsec and the whole enterprise package, what do you all think? should a lite rom include the whole enterprise package?
Can this rom be used in English? Thanks
This rom can be installed on a english device and it is only in swedish, hope i answered your question
yes you did. Thank you.
Will it enable ÅÄÖ?
Will this Rom enable ÅÄÖ On my keyboard, at my english Experia?

Show Weekday in TFL3D??

This "hack" would be great if only it didn't overlap with the alarm setting below the minutes (see overlapping below the 10 of the 15:10 reading of the clock):
It also changed the string "Camera" to "IDS_CAMERA" (lower right corner)
Maybe somebody (the author of this cab??) can make some changes...
Try this updated version with abbreviation of weekday.

This is a german language specific CAB, if someone with an english language device sends me the file 7e640092_manila from their \windows folder, I can make one for english language too. Thanks!
.
Install and/or use Advanced Config,then Menu -->More Settings --> TouchFLO3D (ignore error) --> Home page date format (choose one from 13 available !) --> tap Change --> Voila!
If you have overlap problems with alarm just choose a shorter date format or install Klaxon2 alarm clock,it will overwrite the standard windows reminder. In my case everything fits, see my home screen :

Good morning Guys! Thanks for all the helpful hints!
@ Sualc: Advanced Config did the trick!!! I did not use it since it will produce a lot of error messages and I did not believe that application is really suitable for the T2. But the weekday works like a charm. Does anybody now what to choose in the performance section of Advance Config? I suppose the values for the T1 might not match, right?
Have a great weekend guys!

Hi Studebaker72, in my experience the error message we are talking about is THE ONLY error (and it's only a message) I get when using AdvancedConfig,maybe it will be solved with the next release of the app...I made various tests by changing the Performance Parameters, but I ended up keeping the Advised values (still better than Default), because for higher values I got scrambled landscape screens (with wm6.5, not with 6.1). My advice is to try by yourself, you don't risk anything. To have noticeable improvements you should use also HD Tweak (d'oh!another non specific app, but it works),go to point 14 (touchFLO3D) and set Sensitivity to Intermediate and Pression to Normal (default). Again, do your own tests, these are values that suit me, but maybe not you

[REF] Keyboard Lagg in Windows Messaging when typing new message ... (SOLVED)

The Keyboard Lagg can be fixed using the "sms lagg fix cab" Posted by bigdyl69 in Post no 4 & Post No.8
Thanks for Finding the solution and sharing.....
Original Post:
I am initiating this thread so that people talk about this issue and hopefully someone comes up with a fix for this...
The Lagg in windows messaging im talking about is the one we face when we open new message in windows messaging in sense 2.1 or touchflo3d 2.1 or sense 2.5 roms without HTC messaging....(attached pic no 1)
this lagg occurs in every rom from stock 6.1 rom to chef build roms be it WM 6.5 series or WM 6.5.X series....
The main problem is that when you start typing message in the new message screen the screens laggs while you type with some speed on HTC keyboard... rather it laggs even with very slow speed....
I dont think this lagg occurs with other keyboards like finger keyboard....
This also doesnt manifest in the sense messaging screen even with HTC keyboard when you are having a conversion with someone......(attached picture no 2)
but if you jump to the windows conversation screen the Laggs comes back again.....(attached picture no 3)
Even though our blackstone is a year and half old now. but that is no excuse for laggs in one of the very basic functions of a cell phone and we all payed top dollar for it when we purchased it ...
There was a simliar kind of issue of Lagg in touchPro... that was fixed by a simple registry tweak by developers. that doesnt work for our devices..
so there has to be somefix for it... and if not hopefully this thread will motivate someone to find a fix for it or chefs to find some solution for it....
from what i remember from touch pro forum was that they removed the word counter from the messaging screen and the keyboard lagg was gone. they used a registry tweak for it. same might apply to us. can someone with the knowhow of where to find that entry in registry share wuth us how to do it so that we try it.
Disable the vibration for the keyboard and the lags go off. But as it is I find RAM (Free Memory) reducing day by day with newer versions of ROM floating and I think poor HD cannot take it and hence entire operation lags...It's time to switch to HTC android mobiles...HTC EVO..

Unlike all of the other fixes that are aimed at the keyboard I did some playing around with "thread_sms.htm" in the windows folder. There's an arguement in there called "count" which calls some function that calculates the characters in the message after every letter. Removing this arguement stops tmail from calculating the character count thus eliminating the keyboard lag.
IF SOMETHING BREAKS JUST DELETE THREAD_SMS.HTM AND WINDOWS WILL RECREATE IT.
I have attached the HTM that I modified in case you don't want to do the editing yourself.
Summary:
Open Total Commander
Browse to the Windows folder
Look for "thread_sms.htm"
Hit file and go to edit
Scroll down (it's pretty short so it shouldn't be that far) and look for "count" then delete it. It's the only one in there so no need to worry about deleting the wrong one.
Save and restart the phone.
Enjoy!
Some of you wanted to see what I actually modified and where count was in the htm file.
Code:
<html XMLNS:Inbox>
<head>
<object id="HTMLFormFactory" CLASSID="clsid:29d48cf7-ed6a-4a9d-a17a-ae9115c07a90" />
<?IMPORT NAMESPACE="Inbox" IMPLEMENTATION="#HTMLFormFactory" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file://\windows\thread_style.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<Inbox:ThreadIFrame>
<Inbox:content id="THREADIFRAME" links threadviewminheight=45 />
</Inbox:ThreadIFrame>
<div id="threadbottom">
<hr class="divider" size="1" />
<Inbox:ComposeBodyCount>
<Inbox:content ID="COMPOSEBODYCOUNT" format="%1!d!/%2!d!%4 (%3!d! messages)" title />
</Inbox:ComposeBodyCount>
<Inbox:ComposeSubject class="sms">
<Inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBJECT" width="98%" height=35 spell focus count links noclearonbackpresshold limit=0 autocap inserttab dynamicresize />
</Inbox:ComposeSubject>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So just delete the part in green!
Update - 17/06/09
I made another change to compose_sms.htm that gets rid of the
_______
0/130
display. It's just a blank window now and doesn't look like a broken counter was just placed there.
Here's my compose_sms.htm
Code:
<html XMLNS:Inbox>
<head>
<object id="HTMLFormFactory" CLASSID="clsid:29d48cf7-ed6a-4a9d-a17a-ae9115c07a90"/>
<?IMPORT NAMESPACE="Inbox" IMPLEMENTATION="#HTMLFormFactory" />

Just add those two comment tags: <!-- and -->
They are highlighted in green for ease of finding. Alternatively you could just delete everything in between those comment tags for the same effect. I left it in there in case I wanted to add a little signature or logo or something.
Also added the attachment for compose_sms.htm
-Side note: I've done alot of flashing and I found that if you don't hard reset right after replacing or if you have SMS open it doesn't completely overwrite it and corrupts it a little. Make sure to reset right after replacing so windows doesn't have time to try to replace it (which is why I think it breaks).
fr0st was kind enough to make up a cab, I attached it to this post.
Apparently also disabling the vertical scroll bars (which are not required for WM6.5) also helps remove the lag when typing

Hi, I removed the count from the messaging, and the 0/130 thing to and my messaging is now so much quicker
...but how do I remove the vertical scroll bars? because i dont need them, and i can just scroll by swiping the screen
thanks
EDIT: I did it through advanced config! although is there any way of removing the scroll bars for certain apps only?

Thanks Alot for the fix... i tried ur SMS fix.cab.... works like a charm.... no more lagg issues.And i updated the first post saying that ur solution in post 4 works... although i didnt try that removing scroll bar thing... if you could shed some light on it. or post a cab for removing that or give link for some software that removes the scroll bars that would be great...
I think Advanced Config has the option for removing the vertical scroll bars but just in case I have attached the CAB file to do it for you

I'm using wm6.5 with sense 2.5
Do you use threaded SMS because I think it doesn't work with threaded or vice versa for some reason. I have attached another thread_sms.htm file for winmo 6.5, give it a try

i applied your both fixes on wm 6.5.x with sense 2.5 and i use threaded sms and they worked perfectly for me......
st3ph3nt3 can u check if the new file bigdyl69 posted ... if it works for u. if so let us know and ill update the first post.....
also did you reset the phone right after installing the cab file and not opening the new message... as bigdyl69 mentioned in his post 4 that if you dont do tht windows might overwrite the newly written file....
Just noticed that the fix is for non htc messaging. Sorry, I'm using htc messaging version.

hehehe... its ok ....i think the name of the thread is quite clear... its WM Messaging... not HTC Messaging...
Sorry it didn't work for you but HTC messaging is notorious for being a bit slow at best anyway, don't think I'll be using it for some time. Anyway, I'm glad the fixes posted have helped, they work a treat for me
