Looking For Free IM App For WM6/SmartPhone, and free SSH app

Hi. I'm running a T-Mobile Dash with Windows Mobile 6, and I'm looking for a free IM client that can connect to AIM, at least. I know Windows Live gives me Pocket MSNIM, but only a tiny minority of my friends use that. The on-board Oz Instant Messenger refuses to work with AT&T, and I just get error messages, so I'm kind of at a stand-still right now.
The other thing I'm looking for is a lower priority, I'm trying to find an SSH client for my SmartPhone too. PocketPuTTY, I've heard of, but I can't seem to find it. Again, I'm cheap, so I'm hoping for something free.
There's one catch to all this: I'm running a Mac, so EXE installers are no-go. CABs and SFX (Self-Extracting ZIPs) are usable, but anything more complex isn't going to work.
Thanks for all the help!

Welcome to XDA-Dev
Rule of thumb: follow my articles - I've published full Bibles and roundups on almost all aspects of handheld computing. Your question is answered in the Smartphone General forum, at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323654
Let me know if you need help in extracing the CAB file of any EXE installers - I'll upload it for you.

Oohh, useful!
Well, thank you. Your article was thorough, and (in the end) informative. I was aware of Mundu, IM+ and Imov messengers, and I was hoping someone had an alternative to them that was free. Your article eventually lead me to the Basic version of Imov, but the problem is that it's one of those set-up EXEs that I can't seem to crack. I've managed to find a download of Imov Basic 1.22, and I'd be willing to provide it for you.
Thank you for the offer, and all the help.

is there any cracked verson available for mundu

IM App
Have you tried Palringo yet?

Fring is a free IM app too(Just released a new version today that supports AIM). Palringo is pretty good too.

Since I don't see it mentioned, you may be able to use PocketPuTTY,
http://www.pocketputty.net/ ,
for a SSH application. It works for me. The file that you download while named PocketPuTTY.exe is a Windows Mobile binary. Just copy it to your phone and run it. Hope it works for you.

So regarding IM clients Do they all use webgateways provided by the Makers. Are there any that directly connect to the AIM, Yahoo!, and MSN Servers?
Not that I walk around wearing a tinfoil hat. but I just like to know where my data is being sent.
Octro Chat uses one. But I can't find any info as to if mundu uses one. If they all use it I will get over it but I was just curious is anyone knew.

pocket putty doesnt run on smartphones just ppc. i am also looking for a free shh client for smartphone (wm standard)

if your looking for just aim..this is about as good as your gonna get lol

M$ Office Communicator Package?

I would like to integrate M$ Office Communicator into a ROM but I am struggling converting the original .cab file into a working package....
I have extracted the contents of the .cab file and created a .rgu and initflashfiles.txt files. The files get installed and it will run but I can't get the Today Screen stuff to display. I know there is a conflict with the 'rtcdll.dll' file since if you have VoIP then it already exists, however I am cooking the rom without VoIP (since it doesn't fully work). I have modified the .rgu to reflect the files are now in \Windows but the Today Screen stuff won't display. I have checked the registry entries and the files are there after the ROM has been installed and they are?
I don't know what else to look for, has anybody got any pointers
I can post the .cab if anyone can help?

Any success?
Any success with making a package from this? I had another play around but didn't get anywhere. I think the installation must create some additional files and/or registry changes that doesn't happen when it's installed as a package.
Do any ROMs have this in by default? i.e. not cooked ones but ROMs released by mobile operators or manufacurers? Maybe backward engineer it?

I did have it working briefly, however I am not privileged enough to have GPRS enabled on my company SIM so I only managed to test it when I temporarily rigged a Wireless AP up in the office. We were only trialing OCS at the time, however I think we now have it installed but isn't fully rolled out yet.
I spend very little time actually in the office so unless I can be bothered setting up a few VM machines with Exchange & OCS on I am unlikely to test it further...
I never managed to get it into an OEM package either, if anyone has one or wants to build one that would be good....
The latest version seems to be Office Communicator Mobile 2007 (2.0.387.0) from September 2007 and it says it is compatible with OCS 2007:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...24-F216-4887-92B0-F37D942E26E0&displaylang=en
This is a Windows Mobile 5/6 version and there is a (Smart)Phone version as well.

Update OCS
I know this is old but you need to disable the client version filter on OCS. If you're connecting over the internet, then you need to do this on your Access Edge server (under Application properties). Just lower the version to 2.0.1.0 and you should be good to go. M$ hasn't released a later version even as of this post (unless you know something I don't). I asked them about it and they know (sounds like a new version is being worked out).

I have no idea where you are going with that answer? This post was originally about making an OEM package of Office Communicator Mobile 2007 for use in a ROM kitchen.....
I have OCM 2007 working fine with our OCS 2007 Server either in the Office on the private network or via the Internet (GPRS or public WiFi). What I want to do is include OCM in my ROM so I don't have to manually install it each time I flash a new ROM. It looks like I am missing one final registry entry but I still haven't found it.

Microsoft Reader Factivation

I not know anybody do it before, if no it is long over due.
Microsoft Reader for Pocket PC is here long as I remember, it it nice reader but their activation method are pain in [email protected]@ if you use their Internet Explorer it many time fail complete activation (you can no use other browser because it is Microsoft and use AX, MS think *nix users must go [email protected] themself?).
And you can activate 6 devices maximum, very generous Microsoft!
Here solution:
Perpetual Activation for Microsoft Reader
It is no hacking.
I simply take advantage of Activation Process "logic hole", it is all.
Up when they change activation proceses (doubt) or patch MS Reader on next ad hoc version (more possible, but it required full build *and* it not stop this activation work on Windows Mobile with MS Reader 2.4.x installated).
This NO is keygen, crack or warez.
I find it (literary) in Microsoft, is all I can say.
Name it "factivation" from Freedom Activation (or [email protected] your stupid activations, Bill...)
I want post it with my real name, but I change mind, one never know what future is next, and law change every day
Install Microsoft Reader for Pocket PC
reboot
Install Microsoft Reader Factivation
have MS Reader activated at open.
It is all.
work on: Pocket PC Windows Mobile 2003, 2003 SE, WM5, WM6, WM6.1 (tested) with Microsoft Reader version 2.4.1
It may will work on WM 2002 if use Microsoft Reader version 2.4 and not the old one (no tested but may work).
Sorry my english!
note:
This software not violate any EU Law in my knowledge.
It may violate laws in other countries (USA?)
It publish here as proof of concept.
It is not my, is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY know law apply to you in your own country.

Update on the M$ website
Please note that we have recently posted an update of the Pocket PC/Pocket PC Phone Edition version of Microsoft Reader.
This update addresses activation problems experienced by the users of some Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 Phone Edition devices. In addition we have made it easier to use Microsoft Reader with device storage cards

I have tried to activate my Titan since MS updated to make activation "easier", and just like in the past it didn't work with two separate attempts. I would love to tell the useless MS Reader team where to go. As of now I am through with that crappy product and have switched over to eReader - simple activation that always works and a better UI. I just wish I could get the money back for all the .lit format books I've bought over the years.

/edited (because exploit works)

Cool Exploit, thanks for sharing.
I put this in a cab with MSReader and it seems to work great!

didn't work
I tried the instructions as described above on my ATT Fuze (winmo 6.1) and it didn't activate my copy of MS Reader.

Me too tried as described but Reader did not activate anymore...
I still can't read my bought books
Surely Your Cab is fine, but not rof my device/rom/sw.
Anyone has some other ideas?
Anyway, my device is HTC Touch Diamond with default ITA H3G Rom 6.1, MS Reader 2.41.

Francesco

It works great on all WinMo 2003SE/5/6.1 PocketPCs I have, all with the latest MS Reader 2.4.1 from microsoft's website.
I'd say PM the author if it doesn't work on your device, maybe there are some variables he (she?) have missed?

Didn't work on my Fuze either but did work on my Kaiser.
Oh well...

I was looking to make MS Reader more touch screen friendly on my htc Diamond (like go to next page on swipe right for example) and my google search turned up this thread. It greatly interested me (even though it wasn't what I was looking for) as I've had problems with my MS activation for some time (on another device). The big problem is that I don't know the heck as to what I'm doing (in this sense). Please excue my ignorance. While I know a fair bit about a lot of things IT this has me confused (outside my area of expertiese no doubt). The contents of the compressed file don't contain anything that looks like I can install it except "_setup.xml".
How does one run "_setup.xml"?
Just like any .exe file?
I've already run a search on this site to try to figure it out but my search foo must be weak because I'm none the wiser.
Any help would be appreciated

From what I understand you have unpacked .cab file (which you shouldn't - it is not .zip or .rar compressed archive, although it may look like one on your PC if you have winzip or winrar set as default viewer for .cab files).
Just copy the .cab file to your WinMo device and double tap on it, that's what you should do.

downloaded will test it later..
and hey mate
thanks for this.. :-D

worked like a charm thanks!

It works on HD2 and 2.4.2 USA version (Italian version and others are in 2.4.1)
Really great!!!!!

Great application -- thanks a lot!

Planet3 (UK) on Touch Pro ?

Hi!
Has anyone got the Planet3 (Skype, MSN and TV) working on this phone.
I tried the User agent hack and the browser.dll (posted by Sub69), but in one case it says my phone is not supported and the other will redirect me to the www.three.co.uk main site (browser.dll one)
I would really like to get it working as Three has the best internet for mobiles in UK (at least what I could find).
Please help me!
Anhtuan
EDIT - After soft reseting few time (one didnt do it), it seems to work with a url - mobile.three.co.uk/hb/singleurl. Have the N95 browser.dll active also. So let the testing begin

The TytnII is supported and sold by 3UK. To make your phone appear like a TytnII, amend the broswers useragent string to
HTC_TyTN_II Mozilla/4.0
Then going to mobile.three.co.uk will give you the HTC version of Planet3, which you have already found. No need to make your phone pretend to be a Nokia when it can appear like a Kaiser

Hi, i am an aussie 3mobile user here and would like to use the skype on planet three as well. Can you guys let me know if it works and also just a brief guide how do i make the changes so that i could download the skype app from 3planet into my TP. Thanks!

Three don't have a Skype client for Windows Mobile, you need to install the iskoot client and make some registry changes so it points at the 3 Skype servers.
I got my Hermes working with the free Skype service on 3 by following post #46 on this page

This is for UK users so you'll have to google to get the correct settings for your country, but the basic principle will be the same.

Best Open Market Application for HTC HD2

I have just discovered Open Market and it is quite frankly a bit more reach in free apps.
Look for OpnMarket
I would like people to use this thread to share the best apps for HTC HD2.
Come on have your say.
Mine so far is WIFI Remote Access v1.00
Enables to browse the content of your Windows Phone 6.5 or Windows Mobile 6.0, 6.1 device from your computer's web browser using a WIFI connection without installing anything on your computer!

Hi Ive tried the open market and its ok , too bad that there aint more like open market where you can get more apps .

People would benefit from searching xda developers a bit more thouroughly (or in some cases, at all!) before looking elsewhere for applications. This community has much more to offer than any other single location on the internet (including Wifi Remote Access v1.7)

totally agree with you. whatever i'm looking for i usually end up finding it here anyway.

I'm still anxiously waiting for XDA-Marketplace.....! Already there isa version for Android, I'm wondering how long it will take for a WM version, since originally xda-developers was intended for windows mobile... That's the one I want to have!

Can't seem to get Omarket to function properly on my HD2. It requires a login or registration and attempt to register, but it says my information is incorrect...LOL
At first it would say my email was incorrect, and I tried 3 email address, then it says there's an error in the fields.

Just go to www.freewarepocketpc.net and register there. it worked for me

first I look at openmarket and after here bc I way easier then here to search the forums. OpenMarket is a must have.
PS: a shame that they try to make another one and dont work together. One place with all stuff, that must be the target
