Not to be redundant with other threads, but to compile in one place, maybe we can list in this thread the known issues in the new Cingular ROM, with links to the other threads where solutions/ideas are being discussed. Some of those which come to mind are the following:
Goodlink Integration with Dialer not Working
PIE Proxy Issues (and related VPN troubles)
SD Card Not Reading Correctly
Disappearance of SmartDialer ... which should be fixable with the cab file located here.
Additionally, know helpful registry tweaks are being (and should be) compiled here
And finally, some helpful fixes/mods:
PTT Fix - to take back control over the PTT button (especially useful if you don't plan to use PTT)
BandSwitch - to manage your connections (and thereby increase battery life)
Well, this is just a start.
What are the SD problems? I haven't run into anything yet...
Check the link I provided on the first post.. many folks (myself included) have intermittent problems where the directories on the card are no longer visible (until after a soft reset and/or removal and re-insertion of the card).
Bummer. I hope that doesn't hapen to me. But if this XDA-Lives ROM is released, hopefully I won't be using Cingular's (AT&T's) 2.06 ROM much longer!
Some, including myself, have lost SmartDialer.
I'm trying to find a solution.

Yeah, I have this problem too. Luckily I've been using the E-Ten Dialer, so I'm not used to the Smart Dialer. But it'd be nice if I had it available, since I'm not using E-Ten anymore.
A lot of people use PTTfix. Might want to put a shortcut to sleuth's thread, as his latest release apparently fixes the issues with it. (I'll post it if I happen to stumble across it in my journies of trying to catch up with the latest posts.)

Yes, but is that really an issue or a feature? I am sure Cingular would consider it a feature, but everyone knows it's total crap.
Smart Dialer coment:
Some are having issues with new ROM and no smart dialer. I had no problems, but I also know that installing ETen Big Button Dialer (available at 8525software.com) disables Smart Dialer. So I tested it. Install ETen and as supposed too, no smart dial. Then I unistall ETen and the smart dial is back working ok. Also in the phone screen the right soft key has an option for the Smart Dialer, make sure it is turned on.
Now if anyone can get ETEN to work WITH smartdial, that would be cool.
I could not get E-Ten to work with SmartDial, though purportedly you can... see link here for discussion on this issue.
If you do get it working, an easy step-by-step would be appreciated!

Heh.. I definitely consider it an issue.. Cingular does say feature no doubt, but I should still have the ability to remap that button. Hence the reason I suggested it.
I added it to the first page (which I am updating as folks add thoughts)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33088&d=1168703772 Try this Smart Dial Cab
That fixed it for me.
Thanks Wpbear and MVT.

Eten Dialer WITH SmartDial Works for me but the ATT name is scrunched up a little.But everything works.
SEE My next post. Soory
Were you intending to attach files to your last post? Not sure I can follow it.
This has Portrait and Landscape Mode w/Smart Dial, Look pretty good.
Excellent -- seems to work .. now I will see if those black glass skins work with it -- thanks

I unzipped it ... just install the cab file, restart, and it should work ... or am I missing something? At the moment I don't have any version of the e-ten dialer installed (do I need to do that first?)

No the zip with the cab has the smartdialer and the ETEN buttons.
It's got very poor accuracy, few information, laggy updating, and has lots of problems with the towns' database.
Is there a way to change the application that is called when pressing HTC home weather button.
This pretends to be a constructive post

I second that. It still doesnt work over proxy server in USA tmobile service now. I rather have the good old weather panel application running.
i am not agree.if you have any better idea,why don't ask HTC to change the plugin?
I'll go a little further... HTC Home sucks!

Beautiful but not quite functional.
Prefer SPB diary + Ilauncher. Much faster
jcarreira,
Some simple suggestions:
- If you don't like the home plug, don't use it (choose or cook ROM without it, remove from today screen, ...)
- If you don't like part of the home plug (= weather) remove it by changing its settings
- If you feel the need to alter the home plug, feel free to try and hack it or find a version with more settings; you could possibly provide the altered version to us all
What I'm trying to say is:
These people here are doing their best to find solutions and share them with us, even solutions they don't need themselves, WITHOUT PAYMENT and WITHOUT access to the code ... I'm impressed by what Gullum, h4ma, PDAViet and anyone i forget (a lot of people) can achieve in such a short period with so little resources ...
Kind regards
We should be grateful ...
I must remind you that the work performed the the cookers is not in discussion. Indeed the are doing a very good job to provide us very good WM6 ROM. ans of course, in case you haven't noticed yet, HTC Home is not developed by them, but by HTC that in my opinion haven't done any piece of software that was goos enough.

As far as i have read, i think that it is not a matter of being gratefull with people who works on this things. HTC home plug is made by HTC and the matter is that there are a lot of better applications than XDA WEATHER and hopfully it can be changed. That's all.
Just came to cool things I think we all here respect our XDA geeks!

Excuse me, but I think that this is not the question.....
People here don't doubt about cookers work, only are explaining an opinion about a HTC software...
As far as I know, HTC Weather is not developed for nobody that cooks a ROM, only is included in the ROMS, for this, I thnik that your answer is not correct...
Greetings

But the one who is speaking about the cookers?. Simply a topic is exhibited to see if we can improve between all. Nobody says that the work of the cookers is not valued, it seems to me that you have not understood what is proposed in this post.
It is basically if between all it is possible to improve the HTC HOME, and in particular the WEATHER.

Gentlemen... shal we return to the subject? There was just a miscommunication. All what can de said about this, has been said allready...
Let get back to the core-question; is there an alternative to the Weather application used by the Weather tab of HTCHome plug-in?
Like the way the music player is changeable with a simple registry tweak.
Weather fix
Sorry for the misunderstanding.

there's no way to improve ****!
++ for SPB weather engine.
I used it in spb weather, then mobile shell, now in spb traveller. I find spb traveller to be the best since it supports weather from many cities and also downloads currency rates and has handy travel tools. just perfect!. Also, it autodownloads weather data at every wifi connect! and it looks nice and clean too...

One of the most common tasks i do many times a day, is turn the wifi in my ATT Tilt on and off. For this I have to go to the Comm Mgr and toggle it on and off. I've always wanted a one tap way of doing it, and had used BatteryStatus in the past, but its icon was too small. With Manilla2D, we dont even have that option anymore, but we do have the nice big manilla launcher.
So i put together some C++ code from myself and from samples around the web, and made a simple exe that just toggles the wifi on and off. I've cabbed it up, so that it will install into \Program Files and put a shortcut in \Windows\StartMenu\Programs called AKToggleWifi.
You can now add it to the Manilla launcher and it will show up as in the attached screenshot.
You can uninstall it from the Settings\System\Remove Programs.
I havent tested it on any device except my Tilt/Kaiser running a 6.1 ROM from Sakajati (Hyperdragon/Blackstone).
let me be the first one to say: THANK YOU.
many, many people have been waiting for this kind of solution before.
regards
bro
nice solution =D
if you got your keyboard open (for the tilt) you can always hit fn + right and it has the same effect. i just discovered the button a few days ago and it made my life easier but so shall this app.
thanks
Just flat out awesome. Works perfectly, using the default AT&T WM6.1 ROM minus bloatware.

to be honest... it's recommended for anyone.. Hbutton is very very fast and works smoothly.. and also very stable.
you can set multiple apps for every button and there are many options to customize the way it loads them... also there are options to assign
Quit, Ok, Toggle WiFi, Toggle BT.. and many more options.
mmh, i use such a wifi toggle since one year, so i´m wonderíng why you made a new one, or did i miss anything ?
the one i´m using at the moment is also here at xda devs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2788804&postcount=2
here is another one that is 2 Years old but i think i rember it works only on wm5
http://www.ultimatelaunch.de/index_en.html (look at SmartUtilities)
so thank you for your work, but maybe next time some searching ?
big thanks for this function!!!
i'm looking for this for a long time!
i have a P3300 with alot physical buttons
then i searching to activate the wifi without switching to my home screen or comm manage to activate it.
if you can create samething for phone function
i'll be very very happy !!!!
thanks again for your work !!
i wanted something extremely simple to use, needed no configuration and didnt need other apps to be installed on the device. Hence i wrote this in C++. Yes, other tools can do more and thats great, but they all might require some setup. Since i flash often, i wanted something for myself that i can just use without using any brain energy. Hence the simple app. I'm glad some people find it useful... i certainly find it extremely useful for my own usage style. I released it to everyone rather than keep it to myself, because i have benefitted from the work by other developers on this site, and even if 1 other person finds it useful, i'm satisfied.

do you mean you want something to turn just the phone radio off, similar to how this one turns wifi off? i'll look into it..havent looked at those api's yet, but it should be possible. However, just out my curiosity, why you want to turn the phone off so often?

hehe dude. don't take this the wrong way. no one's judging. developing new apps is ALWAYS good.
cheers for the initiative.
I agree! Good on you for contributing! I want to say thanks for this app and I will be using it.
i am sorry AK and thanks again for your work.i just want to inform that there are allready existing such wifi toggles. they are simple small exe files and dont need any other application or must be modified, like yours.
HI!
Thanks for this great tool!, I will save some of my times
Could it be possible to get the same but for bluetooth ?
@akarnik: thanks mate, for a useful application. Cheers!
Hi again.
Does anybody have an idea about a screensaver for the Rose? Something, where I could see the time and the missed sms, emails and calls? Something, like always the Nokia phones have.
Thanks for the answers!
On my old WM5 Smartphone I used and really liked maniac's Automatic Keylock but on the S740 I couldn't get it to update the email count. Also the device lock didn't behave as I'm used to.
Give it a try, maybe it fits your needs or you can figure out how to fix the issues that I experience...

Thanks for the tip, but I was not able to configure the programm that it will run on my Rose I dont think its for WM 6.1 devices and thats the problem. Hope, somebody will make program like this in the near future. I am ready to pay for it, dont need freeware I need it very much.

I am sorry, I was wrong. The Automatic Keylock screensaver runs very well on the Rose, it is only a matter of the right configuration of the programm. It is simple and work great incl email, sms etc. notification.
If somebody would like to use it on the Rose and would have problems with the setting, dont hesitate to contact me.
Do you use device lock or key lock?

hello frnd. i have faced a few problems cooking wm6.5 roms recently. which if you find a solution then share with me asap. am not releasing newer version of my roms cause am busy with my exams and not able to get enough time to fix these bugs.
1st of all am using da_g's kitchen for wm6.5:
here are the problems i am having..
1st. i use youtube that does not require touch flo 3d. you only provided me with the oem. i open application. it loads the videos section. but when i click on any video to view it, i get an error " cannot play this video" i have tried to cook flashlite3 as well as the oone in da_g's kitchens but with no help.
2nd where can i get oem or cab for htc gesture 2. tried searching.
3rd Da_g's recording modification with wm dialer is great. but is it possible to add it to htc dialer?? although have sent him this ques but still if other could fine a soln.
4th how to change link to chome photos directry
5th i dont want date and time setting to start on clicking clock at chome. i dont want anything to happen when i click on clock in titanium.
6th the volume managers do install and work fine normally. but during call, i do not get the call volume display to change call volume. instead i get the usual system and ring volume control display and am unable to change call volume. i have tried both standard and topaz volume manager. could be a build issue but not able to fins a soln yet.
am using notification menu with buttons. could this be causing the issue.?
if you are able to find any possible solutions then feel free to let me know.
Why didn't you posted this in Da_G's WM 6.5 thread?
I think you will get there a better response
