Request for CAB for T-Mobile proxy settings for Excalibure - HTC Excalibur

Hi, looking at the new ROM cook-ups all around, I feel a great need for a CAB for the proxy settings for various internet plans (specially 5.99). I have seen similar CABs for touch phones (PPCs) but none so far for smartphone.
CAB would help all of those who have only one phone to work and experiment to quickly configure the new ROM and give it a test run.
I did my best to look around for the CAB solution, but did not find it anywhere, hence this request.
I do have working settings in text mode, that I can type-in and make the proxy work, so I am not looking for those.

Just go to http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/ on your computer, fill out the info and T-Mo will send you an over the air 'update' simple, fast, free and easy

Thanks for response.
Yeah, it does work, but it does not (and would not) provide the 5.99 proxy hack, to make PIE, Opera and Push mail work on 5.99 connection and user has to configure them by hand. I was asking for some kind of CAB that can push those settings in, instead of typing them every time a new ROM is flashed to test it. Btw the t-mo connection configurator that is found in 6.1 cooked ROMs also work fine for basic connection setup, but not for proxy hack setup.

this would be nice. very nice actually.

The proxy hack is beginning to die down in many places. I confirmed this from t-mobile so you might not be able to get it everywhere... where are you currently located?

how about you provide the other $15 and stop being cheap...then you wont need a cab file
just a thought

Ah, so your why I have to pay 19.99 instead of 10.00 I have to cover your cheap ass stealing service off T-Mobile.

Yah its a proxy hack where they get the internet service for 5.99 rather than 19.99... but this proxy hack is going down really fast in most parts...

Well here's a cab for TMo's normal settings (no 5.99)....

Two Time Entries on Today Screen.

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this, forgive me if it isn't.
How do you hide the top time and date from my today screen? I would like HTC's clock to be the only one on the screen.

Dude seriously??
Start --> Settings --> Today --> Items (tab)
Untick "Date"
seeing as you had a nice screeny i thought i'd reply in a screenshot too because i'm in a screenshot kinda mood untick the highlighted box
but yet you worked out how to flash a rom and change the background of the today screen but you couldnt work out how to remove the date! lol
That doesnt remove the time. Un-checking the date removes the date
C'mon guys...you all are incorrect.
The way to do this is as follows (sorry I dont have time for screen shots)
1) Goto Settings>>Advanced Config
2) Select 'Appearance' tab
3) Select the appropriate drop down from 'Shoe on title bar' label. I selected 'battery'...
After a soft reset, you will get want you want...

whew, it was starting to feel like howardforums there with all the misinformation and bad advice.
Guys! Stop bickering!
To remove the time from the very top bar of the Today screen, lookin the WIKI for registry edits (here's the page):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
and look for a section called "Show Time,Date,both or Battery on top bar at Today screen". This is the same edit that the Advanced Config mohitb272 mentioned, but this is the manual version if you haven't got theprogram installed.
To hide the date in the today plug-in (the one next to the clock under Start in your screenshot), follow GilesThaAlmighty's instructions earlier.
Sorted!

what rom are you using? I have AT&T but mine never says 3G AT&T. I have the 3G sim card. I am referring to the screenshot from the first post how it says 3G AT&T. Is it because you have the PDA plan or something. I have the Media Net unlimited plan whatever that is. It allows me to access the internet and stuff.

You need to have 3G coverage in your area to display 3G. Check at&t coverage map to see if you can get 3G coverage.

Pretty sure he's referring to the carrier name in HTC Home. Without the reg change it'll say UMTS AT&T.

Thanks for the replies. Oddly enough I don't have the Advanced Configuration option under settings. I know I turned it on manually but after spending an hour going through all the options in my settings I could not find how I did it.

i feel ya on the wannabe's and the no credit, just don't really understand the wrong info one. but hey, they're Your Roms, so you have more than the right to do whatever you want with 'em and put them wherever you want.
awesome to see you here bro !
Looks like my visits to xda will be more frequent now
I will always be amazed at the amount of "could you do this instead, could you add this instead, could you blah blah" on every rom thread out there. I've enjoyed Vet's roms because of the lack of bloat, but lots of UI customization that doesn't change how the Vogue functions, just how it looks. That's why I personally don't like Roms that have the windows style start menu on it, etc. I love the Calibri font as the system font, the colors/sounds, etc.
Thanks for your work Vetvito, it doesn't go unappreciated here.
ditto to the post above... your roms are freaky-fast-freaky-good! lol...
i've only had one issue... when i load your roms i can't get a data connection (says like area code 425 or something and unable to connect)... i don't know exactly what to do to enable one..
has anyone had this problem?
if someone could give me a quick step by step on what to do, i would really appreciate it.
looking forward to flashing this rom tonight....because of the new radio i will give this great looking rom a try...thanx vetvito sorry to hear about probs over at ppcgeeks...some people just have no respect for the work of others...
vet just made my day now i dont have to go back and forth as much. welcome.
Hey Vet,
3.2.1 had a different "call waiting" ringtone to anything that I have ever heard before - I REALLY liked it!!
I'm on 1Schwartz now (as you recommended upgrading) and I really like it too,... but now call waiting just has that standard "BEEEEP" thing - I know this is really picky - but I love the dialpad and I love the phone functionality and "zippiness" of your ROMs. Anyway to get call waiting ringtone from 3.2.1 over to 1Schwartz? Is there a place in the reg to change it?
Thanks for all you do!
PS I was able to get a ROM cooked (ERROR FREE) from your kitchen - I just had to remove the folder I was trying to add in there to make it carrier specific,... with that gone, it worked great.
^ I'll look into the call waiting tone. That Beep is irritating.

Must do that - and I'd suggest you do it before you get too far installing other software,...
Search option at the top of this page brought me these results:

The middle of the postings has the name of all the carriers as active links to the corresponding cabs.
props to DcD - of course!!

I believe it is generated once outlook is run from your computer.
Was this the case? I don't have Outlook, but can help you troubleshoot.

Super excited about the Sprint rom... just curious as to whether anyone has beta tested for improved battery and EVDO results? If so, what kind of improvements are showing?
Also, I am thinking this may be an Opera specific thing, but has anyone noticed that the font size settings do not stick after you close the browser?
Great work Juicy

Is there any program that can block incoming calls and sms for specified numbers (Like a banlist) on the s620 ?
I was thinking about that, let say you got a person you don't really like and is annoying ... you block him !
I've been googling a bit and havent find nothing concrete =/
At the same time i wanna ask, is there any program that can time my phone call time i passed between my paying hours and my free hours ?

lol, Gixxum is right, google works wonders but here is the url for Call Firewall which is the one I presently use, the only thing you need to do is add a 1-2 delay to your ringtone and you'll be golden, basically whatever ringtone you have go and download an application called Audacity and with this app you can manipulate mp3 and other music formats and then add a 1-2 second delay to your selected ringtone and you'll be golden, Call Firewall works amazing and reliably

for further instructions read the FAQ in their site,
good luck

Annoying commercials

Hi!
In the recent time, when I surf XDA-forum with my Xoom or Galaxy Nexus, I often am redirected to awful commercial-sites like this one ( http://cat.m.smartphonegirls.de/wwf...n_id=103566ff54dbd160ab06425f95bc91&path=SPOQ), who want to sale stupid things.
The only way to avoid it is to use a desktop UA-string.
Why does XDA support those kind of abo-services, we all know from the media? I have nothing against commercials on the forum, I know XDA needs the money. But not that way, please...

These shouldn't be appearing... Do you have any details about what's causing it to appear? Ie. a particular browser?
Just the stock android 4.0.3-browser, on my Xoom with Tiamat-ROM and on my Galaxy Nexus with CM9.
It only happens on XDA-dev-page, mostly when entering the UCP or a thread. And there are two sites I have seen. The one I posted and some other video-page. I don't remember that name, but will post if I see it again.
And it doesn't always happen, just from time to time.

i wouldnt go around shouting this kind of stuff out, a little personal dont you think lol
The same here. The worst thing is that these commercials are opening automatically. A soonish fix would be really appreciated.

Exactly what I meant! And there is another MobVid-Site I sometimes get.
I see you are German like me and those pages are in German. Could it be possible that only users in Germany get those "commercials"?

Yes, and if you accidentially would tap "Ja" (= yes in German) you would have to pay 2,99€ per week via your mobile bill, if you haven't blocked mobile payments on your contract (by default it's activated, you have to contact the provider).

I guess there are dynamic commercials, that adjust to the origin you belong to and for.Germans, who have a mobile UAstring, it redirects to.that site... Not very funny...
Just imagine you were showing the XDA-page to s.o. on your phone and then this page pops up. Some kind of embarassing
Same here.
It's really anoying.
Any suggestions for a workaround?
Blocking URLs or something?
I use Dolphin Browser.
Thanks in advance

We're trying to find out the cause of this... Is this over Wifi or 3G, and who is your provider?

Provider: O2
Could be both 3G and Wifi.

I don't know if it's with 3G, since most of the time I'm using WiFi (home, university etc.) so I just can only confirm it happens with WiFi. Anyway, it will most likely be with 3G, too - I simply don't remember that.
I also got that "ad" today ... That ad is not just emberrasing, but if you click it, it will cost you 3€/week and that's horrible!!!
3G (H), Provider: T-Mobile ...
Maybe the transaction_id can help find out more:
transaction_id=1030fff05c0bb9ea955d74de8061de&path=SPOQ
(Unfortunately I'm not allowed to post full links )
I'm getting this crap since today... I was surfing on my SGS2 on ign.com when that site was automatically loaded.
I think it's somehow connected to google admob or whatever... I'm also german, it must be connected to one of those
automated advertisments (geolocation) for germany...
It's automatically loading... I can't even check if I clicked on it by mistake because the first time when it appeared I was kinda surprised.

No, you didn't click something. It just takes until the entire site is loaded, then you are redirected. The worst thing about is that you cannot even go back to the page you wanted, because the browser seems to think it IS the page you wanted. If you go back, you.get the page you had before... Not funny...
And yes, I have also recognized it on other pages, but only very, very few, so I don't think it's Google Ads.
