 LOL Hey thats why i work right to spend.Must be nice to have spent so little for your MDA. I know I spent $400 + tax. Mail in rebate got lost in the mail along with the sticker panel from the box, so Im out my $50. lol. I know MadDog spent even more than that for his. I couldnt have thought of a better way tospend my money. Ok maybe I could if I think about it. Maybe another MOBO and CPU for the PC. Dont need those though. Since I got this, I dont spend my free time gaming anymore, I spend it h4xing this damn thing LOL!!! WEEEEEEE!!!!  |

Well NOW, for some reason, I think my installation may have made the decision for me. Even when I do a reset, my MDA is acting differently than it did a week ago. Some apps aren't consistently starting up correctly, and now when I use Voice Command to change profiles via pocketzenphone (PZP), the PZP icon display doesn't change properly and I can't really tell easily whether the profile has changed or not. A couple of other odd behaviors as well.
So...I'm thinking that something I've done may have scragged the current install. It would be GREAT if I could simply fall back to one of several prior backed up configs - perahps one without PZP installed, or without ContactBreeze or PocketBreeze. But no...I don't have any backups like that to roll back to. So many it's time for me to follow your lead...if I have to do a hard reset and reinstall apps, I should do take incremental backups along the way this time. Do you store all your various backup versions on a single miniSD, or on your PC? (sorry if I missed the details in your earlier posts). I've got a 1gb miniSD in my MDA now (2gb ordered a couple of days ago). Wondering if perhaps I should use the 1gb to hold several backups, and then swap in the 2gb for "everyday use" (music, data files, email attachments, browser cache, etc). Suggestions? |
this is a true and tested process. And I too take good advise from you guys, often. Road of hard knocks bro, as u know, but doesn't mean you got to step on crap to smell it coming. This is a solid process, but customized to anyones needs. My real true backup is one with all my hacks, my flash apps, and that's it. That's the one i can always go back to incase i am going to make a serious change. It takes me back before winsbar, before, Spb Plus, before Spb Diary, before tray launcher. The whole purpose of this for me is, I don't have to cold boot and go through the tedious process of the simple nonsense, just so that I can get going with new installs. Like WAD. I went bck to this restore, and it was clean and ready for WAD, then went back to my final restore with.... Wisbar, spb plus, spk diary, tray launcer, hacks, setups, like buttons, phone, owner, you know the works to get me back where I was. I had problem with loosing the battery incon, before Wisbar, and my time? When back to original backup/restore, and confirmed it was not my system, thus re loaded some apps, back on target.

i3onk seems to be a master at this so can you give me a yahoo addy or something and i can seek your mentorship.  |
that hurts my feelings bro.. Considering Jonazen went 1st, I second, and if recall good I3onk.... well he was very very cautious. But that's o.k. Once he moved forward he actually was braver than both of us who took the lazy way out with just using RUU to unlock, I3onk went the extra yard for the backu up roms, which he humbly shared with me, incase I need to restore originals. 
Stay tuned bro, 5 star champion thread here.. 
You seem to be moving on pretty well, maybe we will take some of your advise soon. So be nice to the rest of us You never know where the dvise may have originated from. 
matter of fact I am having lunch in Tampa with one mistery guest here, who drilled me with curious questions. And even I3onk and myself talk on IM once in a while.

. I know what apps i like to run now so I dont do a backup after an install of every app. I just install all the apps then get my ringtones set, message tones(ie..special ed saying I GOT MAIL!! when I get an email HEHE) and things like my voice dial recordings and such.Then I back up and go on from there. |

Yeah --- it's been fun here, and I've learned a lot. Trying to figure out how to free up a bit more time to come back here again. Also I'm now VERY anxious to redo my MDA. I really should do a hard reset, backup, install key apps, back it up, and then start adding in the more obscure features. Just struggling to find the time, and it's making me a bit nuts right now!|

but for now my backups are solid restores. I just can't get this thing to crash 
, and my memory is even up to almost 20MB! Thats with all the crap we have done here together. And franckly I am not concerned to try something new, cause I can always fall back to what works anyway. So go for it Bro.
surprised to find a home on a product I care for 
hone: . I spend lots of times 
on boards, and for the most part, NOBODY 
gives me the kind of information I get here. I am not a person of two words, as I3onk has sweetly put it, I sometimes write novels, you can choose to read them, and the knowledge they carry, or ignore them, I am still going to give you my two cents . Why? 1st cause many people type three word sentences on boards, that for me does absolutely nothing to help me. 2nd Cause I am a crazy kind of a guy who understands the novice and their lack of techno knowledge, even the lack and frustration of talking to a TMO rep, and 3rd loves to help people. Will we have all the answers, NO, but someone will, and that may educate all of us. Enjoy this feeling of people helping people, cause it may not last for ever, nothing does.
I also have it mapped to my #4 button for push(hiold). or voice record notes. will be testing it more thouroughly tonight. Here is the link though.

Still nice and only 38Kb, its a keeper for me.

On another note, I think I may have to hard reset again and go through all of the install process one app at a time. Something has cause my BT h700 to stop working right. It doesnt seam to be connecting at all. I removed it and paired it again but still having the same problem. This just happened within the past day so maybe I will go to my last backup from two days ago and go from there. I think the only thing i have installed since it worked last was the resco utility suite. And another disappointment from teh psShutXP app. when you click the off button, it doesnt turn it off. Does the same thing that the standby button does. The same thing that tapping your power button does. Ok I wont be using that anymore now. That is just pointless now. |

On your backup note again. It can get confusing to trouble shoot, if you can't remember wht u installed last, or what happened. That is why I have a bottom of the line basic bck up with setups/configurations,etc., incase I have to revert to a real clean setup. You and I know that on any PC, or PPC too many things tried and loaded will corrupt any system sooner or later. |

Bookmark management in Firefox is fantastic. I cannot, to this day, understand why it is SO neglected in IE by comparison. I also have collected TONS of links since I started lusting for a new cellphone/smartphone a few months before settling on an MDA. I collected loads of links for MDA's and SDA's (and all their brethren under various names), upcoming Nokia cool phones and S60 smartphones, various Sony Ericsson phones, load of links for accessories, reviews, hacking and firmware sites, etc. Once I got the MDA, I immediately started gathering links to sites with firmware, mods, cases and holsters, screen protectors, charging cradles, memory cards, games and apps, skins and themes, etc, etc. I think it would have taken me twice as long if I had to manage all of these links under IE. Firefox bookmark manager really makes it easy to see the whole tree, create and edit subdirs, drag and rearrange the tree, etc. What's also wonderful is that you can display the bookmarks tree (and one of those branches is your links bar, with as many folders and subfolders as you wish to create and nest) in a separate window -- then when you double click any link in that window, your active browser window, which is separate, will update with the site you've selected in the bookmarks window -- make is SO easy to check all your links and rearrange / group them.
Sleepy now. Been a LONG week...month...year! Up to bed, and I'll try to read for a bit before passing out. Big work-related things coming up tomorrow and over the next week, and I suspect I should be a bit better rested before then. Night all... |
. On my XP I use IE with pop up feature, along with Freebie MS Anti Spyware, my Norton Utilities virus online, and my old Zone Alarm Pro. And for the most part I avoid problems. As far as favorites, just did what I3onk said, I had not played around with that feature, but worked nicely, created folders in links folder now manage stuff.
A russian site kept popping up, I could not get rid of this crap russian site, only when I accessed HOFO. So left system off, then upgraded to SP 2 for XP pronto, and finally got rid of it. Weird, thought something caught me in between security installs. Man you can't get your stuff up fast enouph, sometimes ur better off unplugging network jack till ur done with restore on PC.

Firefox has been really good - FAR less susceptible than IE to the worms and exploits that circulate the net. Also - the add-ons are tremendous, and the popup blockers (various available) are the best I've used. I love the fact that I can open new windows in tabs or in entire new windows -- that's the best of both worlds, and really comes in handy with dual monitor desktops (that's what I use). Re: the russian site coming up on HoFo - from what I read, somebody had attacked the site -- this was some kind of redirect of the home page, but apparently didn't show if you came directly into a thread following a link to it. Nothing to do with your pc from what I understand. Just a coincidence. So - I decided to NOT do a hard reset and reinstall everything just yet. Instead, I uninstalled PZP -- and of course, since this is WM5, it was a manual process removing files, directories, etc. after the "automatic" uninstall didn't work. Then I installed the new 6.0 production release of PZP. Restarted my MDA, and the world is bright and wonderful again. Everything working quite nicely, thank you! I'll be getting the backup util and taking a snapshot of this setup. Then, next on the agenda will likely be trying overclocking, and possibly Wisbar Advance Desktop (WAD). But that's likely to be tomorrow... Once my desktop is just right, and my MDA is feeling zippy, I'll start loading up my miniSD with some games and music. Hopefully it will be the 2gb miniSD -- ordered it last Friday, and I'm hoping to see it any day now... |

cause you can't get it as a cab file unless you pay for it. Cause unlike other apps, The MSVC 1.5 v .cab file is the registered version. Meaning if you use a .cab file, once it's loaded on your PPC it does not require key or registration. |

Great man, can boot from it like booting into XP but off CD using virtual RAM as HD. But friend can't make it to my home tonight. I sent him an eraser link, for ereaser.exe good small for a floppy. After all sorts of instructions to him via email, I realized nothing I was explaining was making sense to me, cause you can't format a Floppy using XP machine. So I thought i'll give him the Dos bootable floppy with eraser.exe on it. Then it occurred to me, you can't boot up with a DOS floppy on XP machine which has NTFS installed, it will never see the old NTFS Drive. Man what a complication of crap! He's going to have to just stop by and let me boot from my bootable CD. Now he can make that old drive a slave, or 2nd master, on his new system, then try to run eraser, but he knows nothing of this stuff.. It's funny, cause you would think it's easy. But it's a complication with XP. Not like old DOS days |

Kidding aside man, don't u know anyone with a windows PC in this MS world? |

O.k. I will assume you are since my name did not appear above, and we talk alot. Here is my thought bro.... You keep looking for a way to get more RAM or clean up your system. You tried that utility which shuts down your PPC, resets, or something, with no luck. I have tried looking for utilities that get you more RAM back. Memaid is great, but does not give me RAM back the way FREEUP RAM does. As a matter of fact, I have looked at my RAM before running Memmaid, and still the same figure.This is installed by SKTools. BUT It loads seperate from all its sibling utilities when you run SKTools. As a matter of fact, I was trying to find FreeUp RAM, to get it to you, cause everytime I am low on RAM I run this. Now if I can run a scheduler of some type that runs apps, I could before bed Run the quicky Memmaid first, then FreeUp RAMFreeUP RAM gives me 2 MB's or better, and u can run consequitively to get even more RAM, or any time. But when I went to look for this file, using commander, cause it's not in programs, or when you run SKtools, or in program files, or anywhere, it drove me nuts, where is it?? But you can easily load it as a file using Spb plus. So i did a search and commander found it under applications, as lnk. But where is the .exe? So with commander I looked at the properties of Freeup RAM.lnk and it has a command line that goes like this, :SKTOOLS #H2. No expert on programing, but think #H2 is some sort of code routine command line, I think it uses SKtools.exe with some RUN routine. That is want I want to do, use an app scheduler, simple tool, no memory hogger, once I retire to bed to clean up system with the quicky MemMaid (not advance), and FreeUP RAM.lnk to release my RAM. But can't seem to search and find a scheduler that just runs scheduled apps. Any ideas? |

Yes good idea, but his problem is deeper than that. He needs to install MSVC on his PPC before he will get the .cab file. Remember? |

I should append that, I can send files to the MDA via BT but that's pretty much the extent of it. I'm alpha testing Missing Sync right now but it isn't working yet. So I can send CABs to the phone for installation, but I'm out of luck with .exes. Thanks, David |

I may try my WAD again now hehe. since i dont have to reset to get my ram back now. Although I dont liek starting with 17M. maybe this will free up more than the 17M for me. who knows lol

Follow my leads.. I don't test too many things, but what I got, I know. I had mentioned this to you, say.,,,hmmmm, two weeks ago? |

Guess I will just go ahead and get it now. I havnt registered memmaid yet, so maybe I will use this for all my memory needs. Seams a bit involved so I will have to get it setup for a one touch clean up as well. Have my voice record push(hold) button set to resco file explorer right now. i use that app so much right now, i needed it handier than just on my tray launch, lol. Looks like this thing will take care of all my tweaks2k2 needs as well. like 4 of my apps all rolled into one. |

Once installed you lose your OEM dialpad as well. It wont be there if you uninstall Eten. Im not worried about that either. If I really need the original dialpad, ill just hardreset, get the files, then restore from a backup and install the files.
I actually use the gray skins. There are a total of 6 now with the new orange one. You want them all? I can zip the up and put them on savefile for you. |

I do NOT want to bog down my MDA with a full time background antivirus scanner -- that would pretty much bog it down horribly, and it's easy enough to reinstall should the need arise. I would rather be faced with having to spend the time doing that if I had to instead of having my MDA be dog slow all the time. |

I think I may have just answered it in my head. Im pretty sure it will work because I dont think SBP backup images any of the ROM files. I dont however think it would have a positive effect for me. Since the 2.17 has trimmed out things on the PPC and cut alot of stuff from the TMO EXT ROM, that would normally be in the program files menu. Restoring form my 2.17 Backup may make some of the apps that come with OEM TMO ROM inopperable, as the files would no longer be in the proper directrories. Well, Im glad I answered that one. |

Good move I can remember that day 28 yrs later Here's my secret... Fall in love, stay in love! 28yrs years! Feels like 5 yrs to us. Communication! Forgiveness! Stay in good phisical shape! Don't be selfish! Compasion and be thoughfull. Yes it's like a graph, lots of ups and downs, many! But in the end it comes down to LOVE! That magical word that keeps u together! Oh I know some may not want to hear this, but pray a lot together.

Man some people have dropped off like flyes. This thread is like bootcamp for the MDA. I thought this was intersting. It felt like going back in time. How much attention I missed. Here is a link to Jonazens Today screen.. hehe http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...&page=113&pp=15 Still have this setup bro? What do u got again, it looks like u have WA, and something like Spb Plus, tell me again bro, what u got on that baby MDa of yours I even got tons of interesting links, from the past, now that I am managing my IE Favorites. Cause there is an abondance of information here. My neck is killing me from reading stuff way back. I am impressed with the quality of informaiton on this MDA hack thread. Wow! |

Also yeah send me that skin. I like the icons on it. Im getting the hang of changing things on these skins. a couple more days of it and Ill be a pro lol. |
2AM here. I forget when u get online that ur 3 hours behind me, I think ur a trooper, and realize it 3 hours ahead for me. Lately i have been going to bed really late, cause ur so much fun dud.

So...yes! I like what you've done with the skin, and it's helping to get me inspired, actually, to stop being lazy and get working on customizing a skin set myself! (thanks for the nudge!) |

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm looking forward to trying out the audio equalizer in TCPMP to tone down the high frequencies and try to boost the bass a bit. Might get some nice sound of the MDA speakers for movie watching (although that will probably eat the batteries more quickly than using a headset!). |

Im watching South Park the movie listening through my H700 now. Sound is by far not the best. Keeping in mind that South Park doesnt have the best sound as it is. There is alot of highs in the sound. Would love that equalizer. Im downloading spiderman2 now. Ill let you know how that sounds in a while. Got about another day to DL it. But it works great. I set it up to a shortcut on my Traylauncher.on before starting the movie, off when its done. You can verify that it is on by just touching a button on your MDA> That is if you have hardware clicks on.|

Just got done watching about 20 minutes of Spiderman 2. It had japanese( I think) subtitles, but the sound was in english. Sound was decent. Would still like to see about that tcpmp equalizer though. Although, everything I have found reguarding the equalizer, refers to it having it built in. Nothing user adjustable. Guess I may have to look a little bit more. If I put my OEM stereo earbuds that came with the phone in, it sounds great. But just with the H700, sounds ok but not great. Sounds good enough though for me to use, instead of having to carry around the earbuds. My review for the BTToggle, is a strong 8 out of 10. The only thing lacking in this app is the ability to SEE when it is turned on. Like i said though, if you have hardware clicks on then you just need to hit a button and you can hear the click in your ear. The sound quality is not an issue controlled by this app, therefore has no bearing on my review. Great app, i will make great use of it. |

My trials periods expired and even though I dont remember enabling it this happens. It has to be tweak2k2 or can it be something else messing up my rings?

Make your own rings.. I am getting into downloading free mp3's from my http://music.myspace.com/index.cfm?...3868C3F95582006 music section. Crazy site that lets you download FREE Mp3's weird. I started a collection of rock stuff, 70's 80's music. I also run concurrently now http://allofmp3.com . Mp3 music is the chepest I have ever seen. Complete CD's for less the 1.5 dollars, incredible. If I can't get it for FREE on MySpace.Com, I pay cents for a song, like .08 cents, amazing! Anwyway, you can download mp3 music free, or pay, or just listen to some on iTune, Rapsody, and download the try version to a folder (click right mouse button over song link and save as). Then use free apps like http://www.mptrim.com/mpTrimFAQ.html to cut your mp3 music down to 30-60 seconds for phone ring. U need to convert mp3 to .wav, then place the .wav file in the windows/ring folder and bingo you got custom rings. |

One thing though - can't you also use MP3's directly as ringtones? I thought you only had to convert to wav's for notifications -- but ringtones can be any of the major formats, including MP3 (I thought!)... |

I'd think he would want to avoid the potential for copyright infringement lawsuits. Wow. Anyway...fun to "look" around there while it's still like this!

Her school sent us a notice about how dangerous myspace.com and a few other sites are for kids, lots more than just music bro, bad stuff all over the place.
For now I am just going to take what I need and shut it down. |

So far my younger one has only been to sites like sesamestreet.com -- and the older one is VERY aware of limits, and that privileges depend on staying within limits. But I also keep a close eye on the places he visits. Way too many loons out there... |
