After my last couple of ROM upgrades I have developed a new problem. When I try to use the highlight and drag method in Outlook e-mail, I cannot select multiple items. I can still use the Select Messages->Several option but then I have to highlight one message at a time and I usually do not have a use for the Select Messages->All or All Below options. I don't think its a ROM issue because this happens with both Romeo's ROM v1.10 and DCS v14 and I can't seem to find anyone complaining of a similar issue. The only other thing I've done different in my last two ROM upgrades is to use Sashimi to reinstall my cabs and some settings. The Sashimi thread does not address this topic. This is not a big deal and I can live with it, but if anyone has any ideas to fix this problem please let me know. Thanks.
SASHIMI thread doesn't address because it is not a SASHIMI issue.
SASHIMI doesn't install anything permanently on your system in and of itself (it just resides on the storage card).
Every change SASHIMI makes to your system is decided by you.
If you give SASHIMI 10 cabs to install and 3.reg files to import then it is doing nothing but that.
I can pretty much guarantee you that if you manually go through the files that SASHIMI is installing and do them all yourself you will have the same problems. If not, then you are skipping something.
Users have reported issues like this before (not specific to your problem, but in general) where they think SASHIMI is the problem but then they realize that they are providing bad files to SASHIMI to process (e.g. a REG file that contains entries that is causing the problem).
I highly recommend doing this manually. If the problem is not there, then you need to go through your SASHIMI directory with a fine toothed comb and make sure there aren't any .reg files or anything that it is importing that is causing the problem.
If you can recreate an issue where anything installed by SASHIMI is causing a problem that isn't caused via other methods (manual, UC, etc), then please let me know.... I've never heard of one.
thx.

My readers (see for example this post) probably already know about two Pocket PC Phone Edition-specific SMS export utilities, Jeyo Mobile Extender (which, unfortunately, has severe problems with more than a few hundred SMS messages stored on a given PPC PE device) and Dopod SMS Backup, which is pretty simple and only supports exporting. There has always been a third alternative, zedsoft.net's smsOrganizer, but, up to now, it wasn't WM5-compliant and, therefore, I haven't reviewed it.
The author of the latter, zedsoft.net, has just announced the WM5 version to be out.
Give it a try - it's by far the most powerful SMS organizer I know and is really worth giving it a try. It's available here.
How do you completely uninstall this program?
I get a dialog box that says: _wfopen failed. MycreateFile TimeOut!
and then the program crashes. Was working fine for a while. Tried uinstall/reinstall.
I think what happened was i deleted the file(s) in the "settings" directory.
Should there be something there?
Thanks!
SmsOrganizer Uninstall/Reinstall problems
I had the same problem. Only installed to test it, but when uninstalled, it just does not either reinstall, if does install cannot run it. I get the same message, something "_wfopen failed. MycreateFile" . I also made the same mistake of removing the files from the settings. Although I tried to create the same name directory, but has not worked. It seems to be a nice application, something that I searched for monthssssssss, now that I found one, it has problems!!!! Also, when you install and run it the application icon "O" keeps on moving one space to the left every time you start it. Cannot wait to get it working again cuz it seems to be such a handy tool the way its laid out. You can backup all the sms or specify your own created directories. I have not tried to restore the backedup sms's though as I don’t have a second WM5 device. Would like to backup my sms's and everything else first before I flash the ROM.
Would someone with a pristine installation be so kind as to zip up and post the "Settings" folder?
I believe this will alleviate the situation.
I tried copying the "settings" folder included in the cab file, believe it or not, it almost worked i got a lot closer to loading the app, but am still getting an error.
Anyone?
So.. this prog is the culprit....

I installed this program sometime ago, but did not realize this is causing the _wfopen failed. MycreateFile TimeOut! dialogs... If you guys get this, it means you are unable to receive new SMSes. I experienced this for several days before realizing that this error occurs everytime someone sends me a new SMS. The sender may receive a delivery report, but the SMS didn't show up in the inbox, but gave the 2 error instead. Had to hard-reset as I didn't know this prog was the culprit....
smsCreative has been released!
Our new program - smsCreative v0.93 - has been released. This is an all-in-one SMS application for Windows Mobil PDAs.
We have put all our famous program (smsOrganizer, smsBackup, AllCleanup, smsRunner, StealSafe) together and rewrite almost all of the program code.
smsCreative has all the knowledge and features like smsOrganizer, but it works as fine as you wished to have by the first version already.
The full price will be 19.99 USD, but now you can buy the product only 9.99 USD during the beta period. Of course you will get all the updates later.
You can download, try or buy the product on our webpage (evolens.net) and you can follow all the changes we made in our product blog (smscreative.net).
Does it support Sheduled SMS sending?
Now I know Windows Update on WM6 doesn't work for the Wizard - It connects to the m$ update site but doesn't find any updates. I tested this previously with the MB ROM and used a sniffer to see what was going on and it does indeed connect to the windows update site using HTTP.
In Faria's WM6 ROM he has removed Windows Update by physically removing some files from the ROM and deleting some registry settings as well as commenting out a line in the 'initflashfiles.dat' file. I have attempted to re-add Windows Update to his ROM with some sucess, however I am not quite there yet....
I have restored 'autoupdate.exe' and 'AutoUpdateRes_wpc.exe.0409.mui' as well as a registry setting [HKLM\System\Autoupdate] and it's settings and uncommented the line in the 'initflashfiles.dat' file to add the shortcut back. Now Windows Update is available and when I open it it opens OK but fails to connect when I select update now. It then sort of hangs and can only be closed using Task Manager or similar.
Are there any other files or settings that need restoring to get this back. I understand it doesn't work but my curiosity is getting the better of me
Thanks
Andy
I thought I read (maybe here) that when someone did the update, they actually had a theme file that was available and it downloaded that.
No packets sent?
I have been playing around with the Windows Update application and it starts fine. If I select 'Check Now' it immediately comes back with the Error screen telling me 'connection to update server was not available....'. If I click OK and then attempt to end the application it just stays on the screen and the only way to stop it is to use Task Manager and terminate the process
I have also put a sniffer on the port my Wireless AP connects to and cannot see the Wizard transmit anything when I click select 'Update Now' (I have verified I can access the internet with IE and I can see this OK with the sniffer).
Does anyone know what I am missing to at least get the Autoupdate.exe application to attempt to connect as it did with the MB ROM?
Thanks
Andy
Anyone
Can I bump this up as I want to get this working and re-added to my ROM (I know it doesn't actually work but I would like the functionality restored anyway).
I have restored the files:
autoupdate.lnk
autoupdate.exe
AutoUpdateRes_wpc.exe.0409.mui
Added the registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Autoupdate]
"DetectionCookie"="0"
"IntervalEndTime"=dword:f0
"IntervalStartTime"=dword:3c
"OmaDmSessionTimeout"=dword:258
"NextRunNormalInterval"=dword:93a80
"Automatic"=dword:0
"OTA"=dword:0
And restored the line to the initflashfiles.dat:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("Windows Update.lnk","\Windows\autoupdate.lnk")
There must be something else I am missing as it never attempts to connect and hangs when trying to exit the application. I restored the files from the MB ROM to Faria's ROM as he didn't include the originals.
Thanks
Andy
I would very cautious about re-adding windows update to a beta evaluation ROM (all our WM6 roms are!!!!).
It will do no good, only harm, I think, since Windows Update as well as a few other components in these beta WM6 are actually there only to call home and manage the beta evaluation.
My position of this is that you want to remove as much as possible all these pieces of software, essentially to avoid the call-home feature and the ROM expiration process, without breaking the ROM, of course.
So, I recomment to leave Windows Update out, SQM and other modules, ceipui, the remote provisioning mechanisms, etc. I've already talked about this in diffent threads, but I'll try to post a summary of my findings in the short future.
Regards,
--eluth.
I understand and accept the implications but I would prefer it if this was restored to my ROM.
I am just after some help as to what I am missing to restore this functionality
I have listed what files and settings I have restored but AutoUpdate is obviously missing something based on it's behaviour.
Anyone?
Anyone?
Anyone know what I am missing? Surely some of the cookers on here who have removed the Windows Update from their ROMs know what they removed?
That's all I am after; not too big a task I assume?
Andy
ADB100,
I could not tell you what is missing, but I do know that it is enabled in mUn's ROM. Because I did the same as you. Hooked it up to a sniffer and looked at the packet exchange between my Wizard and the MS update site..

It's enabled in the original Orwells, the MB Edition, mUn's and Faria's Vanilla WM6.
However I still can't find what I am missing to get it back in my re-heat of Faria's latest 'Real Thing'.....
Andy
you are missing SQM .
ps;
there is WM6 ROM for a windows ppc that has time bomb....plus microsoft can expire your rom by update if they want.... the update feature uses .pkg and this settings will stay after hard reset.... so they can use it for any means,and so can anyone that can compile 1 of those packages. just to let you know.

All the SQM files are present and the SQM settings in the registry are identical
What else could be missing?
Also, Which rom as the timebomb and how do we find it?
hi, anibody have this files:
autoupdate.exe' and 'AutoUpdateRes_wpc.exe.0409.mui'?
Thanks
I don't have it handy, but go find the original Ingenetics dump that was posted here (do a search) and I know it has those files in it.
Andy,
The original dump by Ingenetics was pulled a few days after he posted it. But I think this link has it. Good luck on your quest.

All,
i tried so many WM6 roms from the forum, and all have same issue... i can't run "Notes" which i use all the time on my phone.
some roms would simply hang whan i try running Notes after clean rom flash, others will run, but after i sync my device and copy the archived notes i was using on WM5, Notes will always hang when i try to run it.
the real issue, when "Notes" hangs, i have to soft-reset, and in many cases i end up with the "forgotten password" issue, and have to hard-reset and do all settings, sync, apps install...etc again (painful..)
any of you went thru this? any expereince or help will be highly appreciated ..
thx, |P|
Normally I wouldn't ask this kind of question here (as it seems like a simple question) but I'm at a loss and have not found an answer anywhere.
I have a few questions about sprite backup that I hope someone here can answer:
First off, my device is a Kaiser in case it matters (I don't think so in this case except my last and least important question)
1) When backing up with sprite, I always get the error that it can not include Windows\lic\Isoma000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.db. Why doesn't it back this file up and could it pose any problems in the long run?
2) After a hard reset, if I restore using one of my backup files, i get a lot of errors on the report. Most of the errors say "Error creating value Defalut" but a few say other thing like "Error creating Threading Model / Merit / IsRendered". However, if I do not hard reset prior to restore, i get no errors. What is the problem here? I can't think of any reason why a hard reset prior to restore would be bad.
3) After hard reset, restoring one of my backups causes sporatic duplications in the programs view (i.e. windows\start menu\programs). Usually it is tasks, calculator or calendar that is duplicated but if it is one or all is completely random it seems. I know I can simply delete these dupes but why is it happening in the first place and how do I prevent it? Secondly, i don't know what else it is duping on the device and don't want to browse every file on the device to find out.
4) This one is a little more Kaiser specific but still in regards to sprite. On the apps disk, the are two separate sprite files it seems. The only difference I can see is on has the PPC and desktop version while the other is just the cab for PPC. Funny thing is, the cab is labled as HTC Backup even though it is obviously sprite after install. This is the one I used for install since I didn't care much about the PC agent. Could this be part of my issue? Also, is there any reason I should install one over the other if I don't care about the PC side of sprite (I suppose I could install using that file and then uninstall the pc side but....). This one is more of a curiosity overall as I don't see why it would matter shich version I installed (assuming the file called HTC Backup...... is the same.)
Please help me to understand what's going on here. While not new to PPC, I am new to sprite as I have always used SPB in the past and never had these issues. Wanted to try sprite due to the extended options. Now I'm wondering if my decision to try sprite over SPB was the wrong one.
Can it really be that no one has experienced any of these issues considering that a great majority of XDA user have at least tried sprite backup?
(I really don't usually post in the general forum but thought it might be the best place for this. Maybe it's just that my choice of forums was bad as there seems less activity in the General section..who knows)
Hello to all and thanks for looking.
I have done several different searches and can't find this issue listed.
If it's a known issue, please guide me to the appropriate post.
I have a Tilt2/Rhodium w/ an Energy ROM. Currently using a version from march 2010 but have tried several versions of the NGRZ Energy ROM & LEA ROm's with same results.
I'm using UC to configure the ROM for an exchange account and 2 e-mail accounts. The exchange and e-mail accouts are setup properly on the phone (all of them work correctly for about a day or two)
After that (I think when all messages have been downloaded - that's over 700 meg that I think is being saved to a 4 gig SDSH card) the phone constantly locks up.
I've edited the UC xml file to skip the IMAP accounts and only setup the exchange, and the phone works fine, however adding the xml code to setup one or both of the imap acconts kills the phone after a day or two.
My UC xml code is pretty much verbatam from this site, and included below minus my personal information.
I'd greatly appreciate someone taking a look at my code and telling me what I'm doing wrong to cause the lockups. I've ruled out the ROM's since the phone works fine with only exchange installed.

try restoring them with a PIM backup app, its in most roms these days
Sorry but I don't understand how or why I would restore my whole phone if it starts locking up after 2 days. If I restore it, it'll just start locking up again.
There's a problem with the XML file, which is why I posted it. My question is what's wrong with the XML file.
