I' m getting prety angry to tell you the truth!!! I really don't want to bother users to explain the same thing over and over again, but it seems in general, almost no one "TAGS" their questions!!!
I' ve been spending most of the time searching for the answers to some very basic questions and I just cannot believe people get anything done thru search results to the most of their problems. I like to think of myself as far from being stupid and unresourceful and yet I' ve had it with spending so much time looking for solutions!!!
Those of you who know what you are doing are getting it done. Those of us who are yet learning are doing it by trial and mistake, or what??! Well, I for one am not like that! I like to know all the facts and the theory before I do something!
So, to get to the chase...
Please answer me this:
- When I dl. an ICON PACK in a .ZIP format, file, where to put that or what to do with it, before using the icons with ie. Folder Organiser? (there are .PNG files in the folder...)
I get the part on how to change the icons, but no one explains on the above. In plain and simple english, the answer please?
So for the future enthusiasts, let this be a first for all the "noobs" to find the simple and direct answer to the problem! I'll even tag it correctly...
Thank you for understanding and for your help.
I already answered your other question so stop whining. Just extract the zip to your sd card. And then you can select the icons using whatever app.

DON'T BOTHER WITH ANSWERING...
After some more wasted time, I've managed to find this, And just as in all the other cases the answer came in a topic related to my issue, yet a stumbled upon it by accident and not by searching the forum... That's why so much time gets wasted! So many people and no one seems to be bothered by the logistics. Do you acctually realize how hard it is to help ourselves with the thing which is acctually created to be helpfull??!!
Anyways... Here is the solution for all you noobs. Hope this spares you some time...
(1) Download some Icons from the Market. Search the Market for "Icons" and "Icon Packs", most are free and will install on your phone. Most Icon Packs will say you need Bettercut or Open Home to use them, ignore this - they work just fine with FolderOrganizer (and any other app that can change icons)
(2) Optional - Download some icons from the internet. The best way to get icons from the internet to your phone is using a PC and transferring them to your SD card by USB. To do this, create a new folder on your PC called "Icons" or whatever you want to call it. You can create a new folder with a different name for each set of icons you download, which makes them easier to find later. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable and select "Disk Drive". Open your SD card on your PC using Explorer and copy your Icons folder to the SD card (don't put it inside an existing folder on your SD card, just add it to the top level directory). When the copy is complete, unplug the USB cable and the phone will scan the SD card and find your new icons. (Note: an alternative method is to connect your phone to your PC as a Disk Drive before you start, create a new icons folder on your SD card and download the icons directly to your SD card - just select the icon folder on the SD card as the save location)

BTW, I'm not angry at anyone, just the way the world operates... Ufff...
Sorry 'Kev!!! A thousand APPOLOGIES... Did not refresh the page so I've missed the answer... In general, I was pissed by the amount of time spent for such a minor problem... Otherwise I'm not such a nag.
Thanks anyway.

So i have been trying a couple of different ROMs and i had at one time an english girl that would tell me I had mail. Does anyone know where she is? It should be either Hypercore or vp3G's latest. I like vp's better as it seems better suited for ATT but i do miss my girl telling me I have mail. Does anyone know where this clip is or where i can find ringers seperate from ROMs
google; att research labs
Guess you mean the sounds from the dopod rom
Sweet Thanks. I found i am supposed to do something with windows map to get them to work from notifications. What's the process to get them to show in the notification drop down?
drop them onto storage card or \windows\
Extract the files and copy them to the windows directory
Thanks guys. I am starting to think more and more i should expand my software developement knowledge and get into cookin ROMs. I want to get an expandable folder tree in the start menu and if nothing else i know i would use these apps more than the ones i'm creating now, although AJAX has given me some highlights in my current experience. Guess I would have to give up video games though as all i see myself doing is creating applications for my phone

You need the latest radio.
Un7zip the files to your sd card. Should be a Class 6.
Boot windows and run Haret.exe. Up pops a penguin!
I stole all of this, so thanks belong elsewhere.
Also they need devs to bring this to a rom. If you can help you already know what to do.
Perhaps those of us that 'want', but cannot help can fund a bounty?
What works, what doesn't? Which build? Any screenshots?
just download the package and run haret, and see.
Everything works but camera for me. right now I am working on using this for voip. Very funny to have an unlimited cell for ~10$ a month, or less...
It's not a rom, you just copy it to your sd card and run it inside WinMo. It is so easy to see for yourself I didnt jazz up the post. reset and you boot into WinMo
Working pretty decent on my WM6.5 by Ryan Mogul ROM on Page Plus network (verizon). Calls/SMS/Browsing/youtube/keyboard (both hard and soft) all worked. A few times applications would hang momentarily, and a couple times I had to instruct android to "wait" or "force close" (wait always worked)
I will use it all weekend and see how if I am able to use it full time.
A couple of questions for anyone who can answer:
1) How do I check available RAM?
2) Is it possible switch back to WM 6.5 without turning the phone off?
3) How do you quit an application in Android? Is there any type of task manager?
Because a reader asked, android version is 1.5
Works very well, I have been running it all weekend. I switched out the zImage for one that has the screen rotation corrected. Disable the touch input and android keyboard input, hardware keyboard only works great with less FC's. Switched wallpaper to the grey image. GPS and Bluetooth work, but sadly still no camera or wifi. At least for me. Market also works very well.
I think we could be off to a great start!
Who has any camera or wifi experience with our hardware?
Hey now, give a link to the zimage fix! Better yet zip up your stuff and share it!
freenode has an #htc-Linux They might know about the hardware.
Here you go! I have also made a few changes to the defalut.txt and associated user.conf files.

Loaded this on my Sprint Mogul, looks good. Is there a list for defining which hardware keys preform what actions?
What is the button(s) to press to shutdown the phone?
I just tried this on my xv6800.. I can't get any ringtones to work on it. Camera does crash the phone. but it did sync my contacts and calander from work Only need to get ringtones working.. but i'm about ready to buy a droid..
.nbh file?
Is there a zImage (or preferably *.NBH) file for the Titan available anywhere?
Something analogous to the .NBH file described at item 6 of the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636024
I want to try and use the process described in that post, but need a proper .nbh file (zImage) to do so.
Yes, I have used search, so pointers to a URL would be much appreciated.
I have a question for those of you who have tried it. My phone does not show notifications and Marketplace does not actually download anything on my phone. I can send SMS and look at emails, however, so I know the internet works. Anyone else having this problem? It runs very well despite these two things.

Um, I have an idea, how about you read the first post? Not to be a jerk, but claiming you have searched, when you haven't read the first post, is, well, whats the word I am thinking?

I read the first post. In fact, the entire thread.
The first post references files to load Android off SDCard, but no guidance on how to load Android off internal memory (i.e., REPLACING WinMo, per the link I referenced). Hence, my reference to the link (so that those who would read my question would click the link and understand what I am asking).
Although I appreciate the fact that you took the time to respond, I don't find myself after having read your response any closer to resolving my issue of trying to load Android onto Mogul internal memory (as they are now currently doing with the Vogue). Any guidance you could provide in that regard would be much appreciated.

There is a zImage in every bootable android package, Including the one in the first post. I do not believe there are any ROMs for the Titan at this point, although work is ongoing.
Exactly what every Titan user wants
Thanks to both LargePrime and jrgii for their prepacks for this phone.
I was very eager to try this out after searching quite a bit, and this made it rather straight forward.
I loaded jrgii's as he mentioned it corrected the screen flip issue. Only thing is that it is super slow and has no audio on my phone.
any suggestions on the sound? I have downloaded the overclocker to see if it helps the speed issue. (maybe its the memory card?)
I can't wait for wifi support. I imagine the data charge$ are not going to be nice using the android features without wifi.
ok, back to play around some more!
One last Q for those who want the rom version. why? As far as I understand (maybe naively) loading off of SD still bypasses winmo so that your resources are used solely on android os. Besides, with the current builds for this phone, you would then be left w/o the bt/wifi/cam features unless you reflash back again, whereas the sd method you can simply reboot.
I realize that I am the newbiest on here (have just been reading until now, and finally registered so I could post here to thank these guys) All I ask is, if you know any answers to help me and care to reply, I do greatly appreciate it.
Until then, I will keep searching and reading hopefully useful and not outdated info.
Thanks!
Did you try the package I found?
I downloaded it, but did not try running it, as one of your posts indicated the screen flip issue. I will give it a shot. thanks!
Also, do you overclock your htc as well? And if you do, what program do you use/ do you launch it from android or linux?
I'll let you know how I make out with your pack
Hi all,
I've updated to the latest Vodafone Rom available on HTC's website (3.14.161.3) and since then then the T9 Add My Word feature no longer works properly.
If I add a new word to the dictionary, 1 of 3 things will happen:
1) Remember it until I open up a new SMS
2) Remember it until I turn the phone off and on (did call this soft reboot previously)
3) Not remember it at all
As you can imagine, it's getting annoying now as I honestly thought, "This must be a ROM update issue, I'm sure there'll be a fix soon". I rang HTC support and of course it's the usual, "Not heard of this before".
I've Googled and searched and I can see that some people have the problem but not as much as I expected. I can only imagine that the problem is experienced more if you use the phone pad style keyboard rather than the full Qwerty.
From what I can find, there's a T9xxx.db in the root of Windows directory that get's updated when you add a new word. But when the dictionary recalls words that it knows, it refers to a T9xxx.db file that's located in a T9 FOLDER within the Windows directory. I've reinstalled the update 3 times since December and each time the feature doesn't work.
In simple terms, it's the same as you picking an item up with your right hand, place the item in your right pocket but when you want it, you use your left hand to go to your left pocket and wonder why it's not there.
Any idea when this can be fixed? Can it be fixed? Is anyone else experiencing this using the phone pad style keyboard layout?
Thanks for any help given.

this has always happened. At least it has for me, on all winmo roms since O2 1.42 rom. It used to do it on my old xda2i too.

Eeek! I think I've got soft reboot confused with something else. What I mean is when I turn the phone off and on.
yep me too,
maybe im confusing the save words from whilst typing, , when you add a word, and the xtmywords or whatever its called app?
ive never added the words using the .exe in /windows/ , i do it when typing in int exp or sms, and come across a word, add it there and then, but yea, a soft reset( reboot ) and the added words are gone.
One of the reasons i learned how to cook was so i could hard add words to the HTCMDB.txt file pre flash.
Perhaps the app works differently than adding from the keyboard?
I've added words from within the SMS and from eT9MyWords from the root directory and still it doesn't remember words added after a reboot. Before the update it was working just fine.
I added all I liked through both within the SMS and eT9MyWords and all the words were remembered after a reboot.
So I dug around a little more and found one person who had a similar thing and as far as I can tell they never resolved it.
There's a folder within Windows called ET9IMEDB (\My Device\Windows\ET9IMEDB\). Within this folder are two files, ET9ASDB and ET9RUDB. What used to happen as far as I know, when you add words either within the SMS or using the eT9MyWords.exe, one of the two files within \My Device\Windows\ET9IMEDB\ folder would have the words added to it. When you then type a new SMS, the saved words are recalled from one of these two files.
The 3.14 update now adds the new words to a file outside of the ET9IMEDB folder to a file called ET9RUDBW. But when you type a new SMS, it looks at the files within the \Windows\ET9IMEDB\ folder instead of the ET9RUDBW file outside of \Windows\ET9IMEDB\.
So basically if function is add new word it goes here:
\My Device\ET9RUDBW
If function is recall added new words, it looks here:
\My Device\Windows\ET9IMEDB\
instead of:
\My Device\ET9RUDBW
Question is, how do I point it to look at the file it updates and not one that it used to update?
as an alternative, THIS method lets you add not just words but sentences (with spaces) too. Great for hard coding addresses.
its not one-word-at-a-time friendly, but useful none the less.
Post 6 of THIS thread has more notes on putting whole sentences into htcmdb.txt

Ah cool, I'll give that a go. Although it would be nice that Add My Word worked as it did before. Still, nice little work around until I grab a different phone or a patch/fix comes out.
Thank you
Hey guys I was editing my picture with a photo editior on the phone and when I saved it, it somewhat corrupted it which will not allow me to view it however the wallpaper,which I set it under, still shows the picture... is the picture stored in a cache ? is there a way how I can grab it from registry?
Hey guys which thread consists of alot of views on XDA? no one talks about touch pro and all these old phones... just views no comments... =(
Sorry, I usually wait for others to post about these things before I formulate an opinion, much less voice it.
I don't know for sure if this will help but can you open the picture on your computer? Basically, copy the corrupted picture to your microSD and use an adapter that works and attempt to open the picture up on your computer.

I have the corrupted picture , but when I try to open it says it can not open it and its 0kb...I want to know if its like a computer, where sometimes I delete the wallpaper picture but still using it and for me to actually get it I have to go to the windows folder and find it to copy it.. however there isn't much in the windows on the windows mobile.
But thank you R^7z, I never hear from anyone here... its the only forums that never speaks.. seriously!
I'm not sure about this but I think PPCGeeks may have a louder CDMA RAPH fan base. Either that or there seems to be more talking in the newer device forums??? I usually hang out in the RAPH/Android forums when I am on here but occasionally I do browse the newer posts.
Not 100% as to where the actual picture is stored if that is the case. I imagine if this was a stock picture, you could get it back with a hard reset. Additionally, I wonder if the photo editor saves it somewhere?
Well first off I'm glad to see that I had saved it to my computer so I do have back up, but I'll continue my search to where it does save it to... once again thanks r^72. Most forums are talking about newer phones, android espically lol but yeah I post it up on ppcgeeks asweel and got a few info but waiting for tomorrow for more.
It might be a stupid question, but I've looked everywhere, so I figured I'd try asking around. Where do games get saved on the V10 ? ? I've found where 2 of my games have gone, but I can't find the other. On my G3 and my Optimus G, there was just a designated "Games" folder when I used a file explorer or plugged into my computer, but that's not there with the V10. Specifically, normally I'd go to Games > com.mojang > minecraftpeworlds, then just copy the individual world files to be able to bring my kids Minecraft worlds from one phone to another. On this phone, I've looked everywhere and can't find the folder anywhere. Even searching for it brings up nothing. I apologize if there's a really obvious answer that I'm missing here, but I'd greatly appreciate any help on this.

If you look for minecraft folder, probably is in this folder, follow this link: /sdcard/com.mojang/minecraftpeworlds or /your_internal_sd_path/com.mojang/minecraftpeworlds

That's exactly the problem, that those files are nowhere to be found for some reason. I'm not sure why there isn't a designated "Games" folder anymore, but I've looked everywhere and I still can't find where my game files are. I've had no problem with my past 4-5 phones in finding these files, they're always in the same place, but they don't seem to be showing up, no matter where I look. I hope I'm missing something here, because I need to be able to find these files so I can transfer my old PE worlds over from my old phone.

That's odd, I have a 'games' folder on the root of my internal storage, and then a folder 'com.mojang' inside games.
