Is there a method to remove it without installing a cab? Maybe editing some minila files? Don't really like installing too many cabs. Also don't like the grey box at the bottom too.

Yes mate. Unzip the attachment and copy the 2 files in it to the windows folder on your phone. This is all the cab actually does though, so you're not doing much different. Do a resart after copying the files.

Mant thanks but did not work actually after soft reset
I have downloaded the attachment, but I don't know how to install it. Any help on this one? Please
Well the first attachment is a *.cab file. Just copy it on your Storage Card, navigate to your SC with any Fileexplorer and tap on it. That's all...
The second one is a zip file which includes two png files. Using this one - unzip the two files and copy them into your windows path.
where!?!?!?!?!?!?
sorry im cinda new to this can you please post the location where the files need to go
(the ones for ClearLockScreenTimeBG.zip)

[Q] original keyboard on CM7 v8.0 hf

can I install the original SE virtual keyboard on CM7?
the new one is too small

Hey bro,
So am i right in saying that you want the stock SE virtual keyboard on the CM7 rom, instead of the android 2.3.3 keyboard? That should be possible. I mean the only thing that i can see that would stop it working is if the resolutions wern't right then it wouldn't install at all, but since the resolutions haven't been changed in CM7 then you should be good.
If im wrong please someone correct me.
Cheers,
evilbarcode?
thx for reply evil
yes, for me the original keyboard is better
maybe the oiginal should be fixed or the new one is preferred, don't know
I asked for owain in a PM, but he doesn't reply...
I'm too n00b
just long press on text and select input method---> standard

Some bugs on lumia 800 and things that could be incuded(just to know)

Ok..i bought the lumia 800 on 31st jan,2012, since i found it very intresting at gsmarena....first i wanted to get the n9 but its not in our country so den i ditched the idea(regret a bit ) nyways...
Here it is...i have it..lumia 800..and flaws in a new OS are bound to be there..
1. sometimes call doesnt end...it just goes on and on till i hold the power key for about 20-30 secs(just to let ppl know dat this way it restars...cuz i heard some people leave it till battery drains out.. )
2.Battery drain, but a bit of a fix after the new update
im currently on :
OS version : 7.10.8107.79
Firmware revision number : 1600.2483.8106.11500
bbattery is better dan before...
bdw...i have checked navifirm and hav a firmware downloaded>>
1600.2483.8107.11501 though product code doesnt matter...seems updated...waiting for a go for a flash...lets see..
i will do it as soon as i find a way to back up the apps i downloaded..:/
pls let me knw if der is a way..thanks..
3.External sound seems bad....but i noticed dat a better audio quality actually give better sound...and headset is good as well and bluetooth headset sound quality is super!!
4. Now this is noticeable but come ppl wont complain..i guess it does need a small fix..annoying to me..
so..wen u at ur homescreen press the windows button to make sure all tiles are at default position...now notice dat the 4th tile the Tile name is half CUT..like its going below the display area...now i knw its minor but still...needs a small fix..
5.Search function in music player would hav been awesome!!! Not included!! :/ :/
6.Threads> say we hav text and facebook...thread displays all together..:/
there should hav been different thread for texts and Fb chats...sumtimes confusing..:/
7.this is also a small one...the gallery tile onli give slide show of certain pics in the gallery..:/ wouldnt it b better if we could set our own slideshow? or maybe rotate w whole album der..or mayb default settings to rotate any random pic..not just certain ones??
8.Animated lock screen!!!! would b awesome!!!!!
9.Notification lights for text or call..?? not der..:/
10.Oh and...i hop wifi hotspot will b incuded , its much needed!! as well as bluetooth file transfer!!!
realli bluetooth transfer is needed...i understand cloud but here in our country, being connected is very tough due to bad network service all over da country...very slow internet..:/
3G launched but still no support as yet..:/
bdw..do reply...i would appretiate feedback and also any swears!
bdw..i would love to help in R&D.
#3 Only the 3,5mm jack is affected. An update by Nokia is coming regarding this audio issue.
#4 I don't have that bug at all.
#7 You can set your own slideshow for gallery tile. Add those pics you want to favorites and set "shuffle background" and it will use your favorites only.
super...
ok..will look forward for the update..but wat about taking backup of apps?
i hav tried an app dat i found on the forum..but i hav sum errors..can u help?
also #4 , i will post a pic to show u...
edit :
As for #4: it's quite logic. Your screen has to end somewhere... By simply scrolling down you will be able to see the whole tile.
yeaea...but look at the end...it would b better if the tiles end a bit above the edge...this is like the tile name is half cut below....see..its just a few pixels...

Yes I see, but what would you prefer? A black border? No, that would be ugly, because then the border would have to disappear while you're scrolling. I don't think it's a bug
Ok, I'm probably being a bit slow here... how did you get that background on the tiles? Mine are solid with whatever colour I am using as a theme..

ok not a bug...but.would like to fix it..:/

okkk...then for the error part..i'll research and do it...thanks anyways..and please do keep in touch...i just left the symbian devices and moved to windows so need a little help...but i figured out some parts..
I've got to chime in on the home screen tile placement complaint. As you play with WP7, you'll notice that it's designed to never have scrollable/swipable things fully on the screen. It encourages the user to scroll/swipe and see what else there is. It's kinda like having your hand held without actually realizing it.
I actually like that SMS/facebook threads are continuous. Have you noticed that you can actually switch a conversation between FB and SMS? Having them in the same thread keeps the flow. Or, maybe it doesn't. Guess it depends on how you like it.
If you'd like your gallery live tile to be more specific, set 'favorites' in your albums. Those images are supposed to take priority in the live tile displays.

[Q] Toggle sound on lockscreen stock .431 instead of camera??

Hey guys,
So I have a problem, I updated my girlfriends XMP to stock .431, and now shes all pissy at me because on the lock screen the camera is on the slide instead of sound which was on her gb fw. Is there anyway to get this back onto the lockscreen with out using a custom rom or an app like golocker or widgetlocker??
Cheers,
Evil.
Hold power button, menu appears, there you can edit the sound settings.
No sound, no vibrate - No sound, vibrate - Sound, (vibrate if enabled)
Otherwise - No if to stay in your conditions.

Then you will need root, knowledge about Java and XML, Android, apk editing, compiling and decompiling and some other stuff.
Or you could just downgrade to 2.3.4 using flashtool.

When you click the widget, it takes you to a google search page and keyboard comes up. This widget does not accept typing from home screen

You can't type directly in that widget. Maybe your friend has a different widget. The keyboard showing up automatically wouldn't do anything because the widget doesn't accept text.
Also, what I posted is the same as iphone. iphone doesn't have widgets
