I have 2 questions about my Mogul.
1- Is it possiable to change the default web browser to something other then PIE? for instance if i click on a link in my email i would like it to open in Opera Mini-Java, can taht be done? Or at least done in some other browser?
2 - Can i get Sprint TV on my phone yet? I know it was out there for a while as i had it, then it was deactivated. It is part of my plan and i would like to use it if i can. But i'm using DCD's latest ROM which doesn't have it, if it is possiable can someone package (or point me to) an installer?
And a shout out to all of you guys who do this stuff for beer and such these mod's are so amazing!
Thanks!

I don't know if this file will help or not.
If you upgrade to the latest official Sprint ROM, you will get SprintTV included/installed along with it.
You can find the latest official ROM here:
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=75&act=sd (3.56)
As far as using another browser as your default, I'm afraid I just put up with PIE and have never looked at switching. I presume it is a registry setting.
Try looking at:
HKEY_Classes_Root\http\Shell\Open\Command and change the default value to your preferred browser. Like I said, I've never done it, but it makes sense to me.
Let me know if that works.
Thanks.

And that's how I got the cab. After installing the rom... clicking on Sprint TV... brought the dialog for the CAB file. LOL
there's a thread on the development and hacking page called jzsmartmort. it'll allow you to change your default browser to whatever you want (opera mini, skyfire etc). its worked for me, and pretty simple to do. install a cab and click the option you like within the jzsmartmort prog.

It looks like there are a huge number of "mime" types in the HKCR branch like \HKCR\http\Shell\Open\Command that points to IE. So you would have to change all these to point to Opera and cross your fingers it works.
EDIT: Use the JZ SmartMort it is sweet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382043
Or you could just use my Opera Mini or Java Pack located in my signature.

I believe it is the right key. My pda opens up in opera mobile 8.65 when I follow email links. I didn't know how it knew to do that. Checking this key shows that it is set to
"\Program Files\Opera\OperaLaunch.exe" %1
Perfect!
GC's installer worked perfect as well as the installer for the Sprint TV, infact i'm watching it now, now if i could just get the audio from Sprint TV to go through my Bluetooth headset i'd be set!
Thanks alot all!
You might try BTaudio. I have used it to send audio from wm player to my headset. I don't know why it wouldn't work for TV as well.

SETHS V3 FINAL & V3 LIGHTER
Band Patch added thanks to BenMHarvey.
This is the Rom i have been using for the last month, it was going to be the ongoing work from V2.
I have made the decision not to develop Neon Roms anymore, so this is very much my last project. There are a few people that i would like to thank on this forum for their support through my learning process and i wish them best with their future devices. (They know who they are)!
I´m not really to bothered about Rom builds and numbers, my only objective was to find a Rom that worked well with my device. And being happy with this current one i have used it for months.
This Rom is UC compliant, basically you install what you want and have complete control of new cabs that you might want to add on.
Its simple:
1st - Create a document in notepad called SDConfig.txt
2nd - Add this text onto the file:
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\Opera Default Browser Registry.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\DiamondCalculatorSkin2.cab
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
3rd - Change or add the name of the cabs you want to install on your device.
4th - Save the file onto the root of your storage card.
5th - Create a Folder called "Cabs" on your storage card and place your cabs there.
Note: The name of the files have to be the same as the ones you typed in the SDconfig file.
Now when you install your new Rom, the cabs will be installed automatically.
Attached is my sample SDconfig file.

ROM LINK V3 LIGHTER
Removed Apps:
WLMessenger
Opera
Google Maps
Powerpoint
PDF viewer
Recorder
Some Ringtones
Just in case you prefer a lighter version with more space, besides that exactly the same as V3... And very fast.

Hope all you Neon users enjoy.
Regards,
Seth
thanx for all of your hard work!!!
Yes, great job
Brilliant - Thank you.
hello
i am having an error...
From :
Image Version : 1.36
To:
Image Version : 3.00.000.0
after the 1% i get
Error 244 : Invalid Model ID
this Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.Please check your Update Utility.
Don't go!
I think you're the only, or one of a few, people developing for the NEON. Your rom's are the only ones I've tried on my NEON that actually work for any ammt of time! Don't go! Was it something we said? The lack of donations? Bummer....Thanks for your hard work and the contribution you made to this forum.
thanks for your great work
I'm with the previous reply. Please don't go, Seth. I just went from V2 to V3 and I finally have a phone that works the way I want. If its a matter of donations, let us know. If we need to be more vocal about a seperate forum, I'll shout it out.
Please, don't stop.
Bump
New Rom added.
Seth does this fix the band issue that was in V2??
Edit: Still suffers from incorrect bands
Works great Seth, its sad to see you leave mate new rom looks great
any screenshots of this ROM?
Looks just like his V2 but better some great additions and lots of handy little things added akes it one of the best roms to flash and go no need for lots of changes
Here are 2 .reg files that contain the correct Band Settings for the HTC Touch Dual 850 (Neon200)
This is attempt 2 at using the attach feature
Keyboard Issues
Hi Seth/Anyone,
I am having trouble with the 20 key keypad in Opera. It doesn't seem to allow input at all. Has anyone had this problem?
I have also noticed you have left of the java VM is there a way this can be added?
Thanks Wookienow.
I have the same problem in Opera 9 and 9.5. It works good in V 8.65.
Telstra Foxtel on Next G - How?
Hi All, thanks to my good friend Mike and seth, I now hope I have a faster NEON200 having just completed the leap of faith and upgraded my workhorse phone However, I miss my Foxtel TV - anyone got a streaming player and a way to have the Telstra WAP Gateway authenticate my NEON200 as a bonafide Telstra device so that I can watch Foxtel TV again? Thank you.

Well I did pick on something else as well as not being able to play Foxtel mobiletv anymore, and that is the calc.exe was missing its skin SpbCalc_P.gif so here it is for those who want to use this O/S ROM by seth. Once you unzip it and drag it over to your NEON, it has to sit in the /Windows directory of your NEON because calc.exe looks for it as /Windows/SpbCalc_P.gif

Well the answer is, after some surfing of this quality forum and also whirlpool, to watch Telstra Foxtel in all its glory (after you've subscribed of course) you just need to change the User Agent in the NEON200 registry from HTC_TouchDual Mozilla/4.0 to HTC_P5530 Mozilla/4.0 and also point your APN telstra.internet through the Telstra WAP gateway proxy of 10.1.1.181:80 and point Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) to the URL of mobiletv.telstra.com None of this bizo of loading telstra cab files or default i-mate cab files (those cab files don't work and just add irrelevent Telstra and i-mate files to your NEON200).
What's more, by creating 2 different internet accessing connection profiles - one that uses the WAP proxy and one that doesn't - you can still watch all the free stuff on YouTube with the profile that doesn't use the proxy !!!
Work will be happy as well because I can still access my MS Exchange push email from my workhorse NEON200 LOL. Only now I won't feel like throwing it at the wall after it resets when when I want to make a phone call, or simply can't dial international without soft reseting the bloody thing.
Shall post up later how I started off with a slooooow Telstra off-shelf HTC Touch Dual 850 (NEON200) and got to the point where I am today thanks to Seth, Mike and other posters on this forum and on whirlpool. I ain't saying yet I'm happy with what I got, because I haven't had a chance to really use what I have now for any period of time. But I am hoping it will be a lot better than what I had based on comments in this thread
It's late now past 2am and I'm tired after working most of the day on this as well as my day job - what a day !!!
I have zero interest in Sprint Picture Mail. However, the account is sort of "hardwired" into the phone and there is no (official) way to disable it that I can find. It doesn't even show up in the list of accounts under Options in Pocket Outlook.
Does anybody know some sort of tweak to get rid of this account?
This would include...
1. Removing it from "send" options when emailing pictures (album)
2. Account chooser for Pocket Oulook
3. TF3D icon on the mail tab

I believe its an extra cab that installs after a hard reset. Try hard resetting, and stopping the customization.
If there are any Sprint cabs you want they are floating around here or ppcgeeks.

Well, that's definitely a solution, but I'd rather not have to hard reset my device. I have the settings just the way I like it now.
Does anybody know how to get rid of it after it's already installed?
just stick a peice of black tape over the portion that says picturemail on your phone...

I'd love to know how to dump this as well without a hard reset and manually adding the all the other useful cabs myself.
Thanks for posing the question, now to wait for a good answer....
Try downloading the cab from somewhere, installing it, it will say the previous version has to be removed, after it removes the previous version, hit cancel to not install the new version.
Might be worth a shot, although I don't know why you wouldn't want picture mail, it's not like you have to use it, but why remove features?

That is a good idea. I'll have to try that!
As for why, good question. I don't really know why it bothers me so much. Maybe just because I like less clutter? Maybe it's an OCD type of thing. :-D One of the first things I did was install Advanced Config and remove the sprint music/tv tabs because i didn't want to use them, even though i didn't have to use them. :-D

I'm definitely going to try that! Good idea.
As for why, I don't like the extra account when I got from my text to email accounts BUT the main reason is because it works like POO POO! I hate how it is so damn clunky in it's operation and even though I don't use it to send picmail, if I get a picmail it goes in there.
I applaud Sprint for trying but damn, try a little harder next time. I could have done without this particular crap a$$ feature.
I'm also very interested in dumping Sprint Picture Mail. Since we're limited to six accounts in Pocket Outlook, its being there keeps me from adding in another account I actually use, so it's frustrating that they would add that in by default. Tried deleting all of the registry keys, installed files etc that are done as part of the CAB installer, but it's STILL there! Haven't been able to figure out how to bypass the customization step, otherwise I'd do a HR in a heartbeat and see if skipping the CAB install would work, so still awaiting a solution to this...
i tried but sprint mail was not completely removed , i even installed the other version and it got completely installed and i could not un install it using memaid ! there should be a smarter way toget rid of this sprint B/S.
i don't think it can be removed this way.
you will need to load a custom rom without the picmail.
in the time you have wasted waiting for an easy solution you could have flashed and reloaded all of your settings.
Not everybody wants a to use a cooked ROM. You know, it really gets tiring when know-it-alls pop into threads and instead of contributing something useful just say "you should have just done x,y,z instead of doing what you actually wanted to do." It's already been established earlier in the thread that hard resetting (which running a cooked ROM requires) is not an acceptible solution. I do not appear to be alone in wanting an alternative solution. If you don't have a solution or a constructive comment, can't you just, you know, not post anything?
maan76 - Thanks for trying that method out. I've been too busy to tinker. At some point, I'm going to try scouring the registry and DLLs in \Windows\. Pocket Office is extended just like any other MS app -- through DLLs. So unless Picture Mail has been hardwired through some bizarre method or bundled together with a load of other useful features into one big unremovable DLL, I have got to think that there must be some DLL somewhere that can be unregistered somehow -- it just hasn't been discovered yet. I hope anyway! But you never know...

I echo thx2100 but will say the MAIN reasons I don't want to just run a cooked ROM right now is that the only real advantage at this time is they are light on the apps to free up ram. I come from the 6700 and 6800 and I'm in heaven with the speed and ease that the TP has when running multiple apps.
None of the new ROM's right now really dazzle me but if one comes around that is hot sh$# then I might run it.
With my stock ROM I have no surprises and only one really annoying feature which is the picmail but I can live with.
yep I totally agree thx 200,that there is no need for the cooked ROMs right now for the TP , why I am risking myself in a cooked ROM ?????????? to save RAM nop ! RAM is highhhhhhh and we have plenty of it in tp not like the mogul when the people were racing to build a ROM with higher free RAM after booting ! to save couple megabytes !, now with this strong hardware in TP , we have plenty of RAM .
the other reason which drove us before for flashing ROMs is the new applications (ex Manila for htc 6800 mogul ,u tube......etc) now we ve got the most updated versions of these software in the touch pro.
no logic reason for flashing ROMs at this moment , probably when new software will come up or super tweaks that require flashing ROMs , but definetely not now , we are still new and still learning about the Touch pro.I am seeing junior members building ROMs cause it is easy with this 288 MB RAM , I bet nobody was able to build ROMs for the Apache or the Mogul cause of the limited RAM.
we have a long way in improvement in touch pro before building ROMs.

Using MSCEInfo, I've been able to identify every registry change and file modification made by the Sprint PictureMail CAB and have undone them all to no effect. So, either some other routine is making changes related to PicMail or it's hardcoded into the ROM. Hopefully, it's not the latter...
Good luck and please let us know if you find out how to do it. I've pretty much given up and am just waiting to find a stripped down ROM for the Sprint Touch Pro that doesn't include PictureMail, Touch Guide Mobile or any of the other bloatware that Sprint decided we had to have.
Solution Removal Sprint Picture Mail
I found the solution this morning and I successfully removed the sprint picture mail and I also successfully added my yahoo mail
here what you need to do
1-install the sprint picture mail Cab
2-using resco file explorer or anything else go to windows folder
3-in resco explorer , unclick hide hidden files and unclick hilde file extensions
4-look for sprint picture mail cab , next to it you will find sprint picture mail.exe and some other files cary the same name.
5-this .exe is made by the second installation you just made not ROM related , but still you can not remove it ,for some reason.
so rename it into anything .exe , and do the same for the rest of the files including the cab , not delete them all you should be able to do so .
I did these steps exactly in that order and I opened the messages folder and I was soooo happy not seeing the picture mail account .
Good luck guys

Can you point out which specific cab you installed (was it just the one built into the TP ROM?) and which file(s) you removed to get this to work?
Also, can you confirm that this removed the Sprint PictureMail account from both the Outlook account list AND the Mail TF3D tab???

Well I seem to have completely broke my ability to get picmail so I'll hold back on any instructions. I'll do some more testing and may just have to install the freakn program again.... OR I might load up a bare bones ROM and load cab's I see fit, 1 will undoubtedly NOT make the cut.
I'm not sure I"m posting in the right place -so do tell me if I'm not.
I have a pretty new 8525 user. I just upgraded Rom's and chose Josh's Springtime ROm (build 21501.5.0.70)
I have also downloaded skyfire.
I'd like to add skyfire to my today list but don't know how? I went into settings but if I choose items other than windows default - I lose the nice menu and get the original plain old drop down. What do I need to do?
Also how do I add something to the favorites list? Right now all that is there iis various microsoft windows items..internet explorer, windows live etc.
Finally can anyone point me where to go to remap the IE button to skyfire?
Thanks for any help, I've tried searching but am just not coming up with answers.
CArolyn
You might be better off posting it in josh's thread for the rom.
But, you should be able to remap the buttons in settings>buttons.
And you should be able to change the menu under settings>menu (if it's 6.1).
I've never used josh's springtime rom, so I'm not sure if something is different, or if that is one of the 6.5 roms.
Thanks I finally found the buttons setting and got that done...
Josh's Springtime ROM is a 6.5 rom...I'll post in his ROM thread and see if I can get direction...
This is my first attempt at building a rom.
Please let me know what you think about it and any problems you may run into.
I am new to cooking so I won't be able to answer all questions..
Thanks go out to AMDZero for helping me learn how to cook and for helping me with this Rom.
Ckirkp79 Lite Rom (21889)
After initial boot you should have close to 274mb free storage and around 85mb for program.
This is windows 6.5 (not 6.5.3 or 6.5.5) but I will eventually get to those.
Files I removed:
All VZ bloatware
Some Samsung stuff i think (sorry I didn't do a list)
xt9 is also removed but I found that the i8000 xt9 keyboard works really well (i use this personally instead of the one built for i920)
I apologize that this isn't well organized, I just got really excited about releasing this Rom.
When I create my base Rom, I will make sure it is well organized with pictures. I didn't really do any customizing on it, but Titanium is enabled on it.
Just checked out your Lite Rom.
At load I think the windows mobile flag is stretched a bit. That needs to be cleaned up a bit. You might try a different color for your text, as Blue on that green is not so easy on the eyes.
274.47MB Storage ROM at boot and 90MB RAM free after a few minutes of non use good job for your first Lite ROM!
I noticed there are no contacts in your ROM. I'm not sure what you changed but you cannot add favorites in contacts either. I'm currently having the same exact problem and still trying to fix it.
The cube button is not set (neither is cube hold).
Transcriber was left in as a sip, not sure if anyone still uses that, you can delete from SYS to remove it (all three named Transcriber something).
Same goes for MSN Money, not sure if ppl really use that one.
Lockscreen error occurs when opening Media Player (actually called touch player). This is caused by not deselecting the samsung lockscreen in samsung settings. Not a big deal, but it will complain about it everytime you open it otherwise. on my roms I have it deselected by default.
Overall this is a very usable Lite rom, and I'd use it out of the box anyday over the stock version they are selling at the VZW store!
I just noticed that you replied about my lite rom lol. I been so busy dealing with 21904.
Thanks for everything you said. I will def work on the color change on the windowshead.
I don't know what I deleted either to make the contacts not work or not able to add favorites. I guess I need to watch for that the next time I do one.
Yeah I didn't set up the cube button...I don't know why I didn't. I meant to take out transcriber and the other two but got caught up in trying to contribute to community lol.
MSN money was supposed to disappear however it leached on
Thank you for everything you said, as it will help me build a much better rom (once I figure out what I am doing wrong with 21904).
After you work on the content of your ROM we can start looking at changing the icons/taskbar buttons to make it more "theme" related.
