Hi All,
My friend has just bought a Wizard and I noticed that it has a nice little device lock application on the home screen. Does anyone know where I can get this little app
for my XDA II running WM 2003 SE?
Cheers,
Richard.
Is it possible to rip this app from the WM 2005 Wizard ROM somehow?
I checked one of the EXT_ROM images I found but couldn't see anything obvious
in there. Could it be built into the main ROM perhaps?
cheers,
Richard.
We tried before to find the file responsible for this utility, so we could be able to bind it to a hardbutton and take it off the todayscreen, but no luck. No-one knows what file is responsible for this app. sorry guys.
the registry points to "shutil.dll" - I suppose this is a fairly generic shell utilities DLL, but as there is no further 'entry point' data in the registry, just hooking that up as a Today item should automatically provide the required data ? Unless it polls an additional DLL, of course, but a resource explorer check of that DLL (if you can copy it) should be able to point any of that out?
Hi! Is ftp access possible? I haven't been able to access any ftp server from my BA. Do I need any special software?
thanks in advance.
Resco explore comes with FTP software, I am sure you can find free versions that do the same however I know of none.

I know you can get them from other places either in CAB or in OEM Packages. However, it's just too difficult to get them all together.
So I present you some of the OEM packages which I collected, extracted or created for use in my ROM.
1. The first one is taken from Schaps' ROM. It's a 3G-Battery with Indicator. I didn't ask Schaps' permission for this. I hope he's cool with it.
2. O2 Backup is taken from O2 Life and has been fixed to work on all devices. It allows you to backup PIM & My Documents data
3. O2 SMS Plus v1.6 is also taken from O2 Life. It's sorta like SMS Threaded applications. It also allows you to send/receive vCard from other dumb phones. It also support group SMS & Scheduled SMS
4. HTC Album v1.1030.720. Taken from a CAB file with fixed English Interface (Originally Chinese). You can choose which Folder to browse.
Here are another 4 Packages:
1. Newer version of HTC Home v2.1.105.722
2. Adobe Flash Lite v2.1 with the Cool HTC Animation from Schaps
3. Schaps' Advance Configuration v1.1
4. Palm Threaded SMS with fixed database folder. Instead of in Windows Directory, I patched the database to be stored on 'My Documents' folder for easy backup. You need to rename your backup SMS data from 'PalmMsgv001' to 'Palm01' and copy it to 'My Documents' folder.
Another 4 Packages
1. KeepAlive is a very old freeware from WinCE days. It prevents your PPC from turning Off. It's very usefull when you need to let you device on all the time.
2. PowerOff is another old freeware from Scott Seligman. It just shows a tiny PowerOff buttons at the Today Screen.
3. O2 Smart Text is also taken from O2 Life. It's just another thumb inputs with T9 capability. Good for One-Handed Operation
4. Picsel PDF Viewer. Taken from PPCGeeks. A superb PDF viewer compared to Adobe offering.
I downloaded all but I couldn't install even a single one.
These are not cab files nor installation .exe files nor a folder placed in the machine to run off with.
What are they? If these are for ROM cooking only then they are outside what most of us want to deal with.
These are OEM packages for ROM cooking and since this is the upgrading forum its the right place for things like this to be posted (IMO).
I personally wouldn't mind a separate forum for cooking, as some of the questions here are rather 'off topic' from ROM upgrading (flashing) or cooking, since installing an application is not an UPGRADE in any sense of the word...
Until then, it seems like this is the right place for this...
Thanks for your contributions [email protected]...
wow...a package for palmsms...hopefully it works.
Thanks for the packages! Am sure some cookers will find these handy!
how to benefit from thsoe if you are not a cook?
Hello,
a lot of thsoe packages look really useful, but, noby uses them so far in the offical release ROMs.
Cooking your ownROM still sounds intimidaing to me (and mybe others), so is there an easy to get thsoe as cab files, or is it posible to cook a delta ROM just adding those pakcages to one of the release ROMS?
Thanks
Juju
As requested by you here or via PM. Here are the CAB files for the OEM packages.
The 3G Battery Level will replace a system file. So you need to install Certificate CAB to allow the installation.
For Keep Alive, PowerOff, Advance Configuration, just copy the execute file to your Kaiser. No installation is needed.
HTC Home & Album CABs are widely available so I won't post them again. To change the HTC Album to English menu (from Chinese) you need to copy the 'RFileShell.dll' from Resco Explorer english Version.
Enjoy!
There is another nice application called O2 Theme which works well with kaiser. This is the WM6 version of O2 Plus. To learn about this, you can go to this thread I posted in Athena board:

your idea will be take in to account and thanks for your supports.

Subject: M8 help hint
hello developers
your product M8 is very good!
one more idea, to improve usability:
make an option to let keyboard appear from top of screen, till the middle.
the reason is: some applications have text input field at the bottom, but doesn't recognize keyboard allocated this place. and doesn't redraw it's input field higher (on the top of new appeared keyboard), so application text input field becoming invisible until the end of input.
another solution on same problem:
make your keyboard application it's own temporary input window on top of keyboard.
(it may optionally include increased font size for better visibility on street)
will be waiting for your reply, and a new version
thanks
now, let's wait for new release of it (under name of O2 or standalone M8)
Palm Threaded SMS changed database folder

I guess this is somewhat helpful because it's easier to back up the My Documents folder than find PalmMsgv001 in \Windows and back that up.
However, I hardly ever put anything into \My Documents because of the chance of forgetting about backing it up before flashing a new ROM. Hopefully someday we'll see a Threaded Messaging app that has more options - like save folder, and font size (the font is so tiny!). That's why I liked TxtMan - but it crashes too often, and isn't completely integrated into the Windows messaging system.
if someone could fix palm to work on the kaiser thatd be fabalous.. i know im jumping off topic but im willing to offer up $25.00!

Hi
I use a WIZA100.
I have to install Mi_MediaSupportv2 (midi support).CAB to be able to use mid as ringtones >.> unfortunately that cab also disables pimg.exe as a side effect. I can't preview my camera pictures and I can't add pictures to my contacts
I want to explore the registry added by that cab, but it is compressed and everything appears scrambled. It is not stored as registry entries anyways
I need a cab editor or a program which lets me extract the registry keys from that file. I know there used to be something like that during the rom kitchens era.
Thanks!

I used the excellent program
CeCabMgr_Setup.exe by OCP software. It costs $100, so I will have to stop short after the trial.
I modified the cab so It didn't affect my pimg.exe It also uses up 1mb less from what the original file uses, still enabling my PDA to use MID and MIDI files as ringtones.
I will uploaded the modified file here.
I use a WIZA100 (htc 8125) with a customized rom (my spoon
