Does anyone know if there is an application (EXE file) within WM6 or WM5 that executes the "programs" and "settings" list, without tapping the Start button?
Also, on a soft reset, how can you make a single application load everytime?
Thanks...

Anyone? I am sure there is a simple solution that I am overlooking. With a little help here I can fix a couple of problems with an iPhone emulator that can be incorporated into any WM6 Rom. I am currently running this now, but these fixes would make it perfect, and would almost do away with the Windows Mobile today screen. I am pretty amazed with this so far, The new iPhone today screen perfectly mathes what you would see on the apple website, and I am not noticing any signifigant lag time between apps that are loaded this way.
To make an application load on a soft reset, just place it in the windows/start up folder or place a link to it in that folder.

Faria, memory cannot serve you right. You are already at 97% capacity and the only way to get the information you require is to do a soft reset at which point you will get down to 75%. Or in the alternation upgrade.....
Is this the emulator you are talking about?

Nothing as of yet. Without recompiling the software, each button on the iPhone today screen requires an .exe file, executable, to launch that particular service or program. To make things easy, I wanted to know how to create an exectuable file that will launch contacts, programs folder, and settings folder, with these, the normal WM6 today screen would not be needed anymore.
So Far....
So far....
Wow, those screens look cool already
Any idea when a first beta will be ready (if you are gonna release it)?

I have figured out how to link to Outlook Contacts, I am just having troubles getting settings and programs to pull up. Wven with creating shortcuts to them
well if you want settings like for example the task manager then a call to this would bring it up:
ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
Didn't want to leave you hanging so I ran a quick search here to see if it has a list and here's something that should steer you in a direction...that is if this is what you wanted:

that doesnt help, you know how to add a shortcut to start start menu
Here's a similar app:

I've searched for months for an answer to removing the system tray on WM5 & WM6
Edit your registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ Software/ HTC/ Trayapplt
Export the Trayapplt string just to be safe you can merge it back if you change your mind.
Once exported delete the Trayapplt string completely and then soft reset your device.
System tray gone and the space is usable
Enjoy
You could have just removed the Init_Tray.lnk in the windows startup folder.
I afraid for most people that doesnt work as they dont even have that link file. I think the difficulty with the system tray is that different people have different circumstances. Some people can remove the int_tray link but If you search the web your'll see a lot of people desperate for a alternative method as they do not have this file on their devices.
It maybe the case that my method may not work for everybody but until someone produces a stable app to remove the system tray we'll keep searching for the best way individually to achieve this.
Sorry, didn't realize that that link didn't exist on all WM devices, but I haven't owned every device to know that. There are however programs that force the system tray such as DotFreds task manager and MyMobiler, etc, which even removing the Init_Tray.lnk doesn't fix because the icons will create their own system tray. Does your fix for it stop them from doing that? If it does, then I might just have to try your fix out for myself.
So far ive been running this setup for 2 days.
I use xcpuscaler which 110% uses a system tray icon whilst running. Ive also minimised many programs and the tray has never reappeared. Im not garenteeing this will work but I do know that its worked perfectly for me.
I hope this helps and if you export the reg as I sugested if the tray doesnt stay hidden for you for some reason then you can always merge it back
Hmm, my kaiser doesn't even have that key so I guess I'm out of luck there. I'm not sure if my wizard does or not, I'm working on cooking a new ROM for it and the ROM I have on it now is kind of messed up. I'll have to check it out when I get my new one cooked though.
fair enough, it seems to be very device related, im talking intensively to a strong programmer to try and sort out something permemantely.
Im running a XDA Orbit (Artemis).
Willl post any findings here
sorry it didnt work for you

that did the trick for me - thanks
Thanks, just joined today and i am now very happy with the fact this hack worked for me
Joined the forum chasing icons and now i think i wont be able to ever leave
Thanks again.....
No TrayApplt in my registry, unfortunately. Still can't figure out how to remove the tray bar on my Vario II (WM5) permanently. Whatever I tried, nothing worked to my satisfaction..
Edit: No Init_Tray.lnk either! Still looking for solutions, every solution is very welcome as long as it works...

My Tilt doesn't have that key either. I don't use the tray, have it disabled, but Task Manager always creates it again, until I exit Task Manager.
My Wizard doesn't have that key either.
Programs I have found so far that may cause the system tray to appear:
- Dotfred's Task Manager
- My Mobiler
- Pocket Informer
- SOTI's Pocket PC Controller (or similar: I don't recall its name)
- SPB Pocket Plus
All of these can be made to not create a system tray through their respective settings or otherwise, I believe. Currently I have MyMobiler, Dotfred's, Pocket Informer and Pocket Plus installed, and I have no system tray on my Kaiser. The above registry hack didn't work for me.
Hi All,
I've just got my 7510 (1st time Advantage owner) and have loaded RealVGA on to the 16GB Flash Drive apparently with no problem. Similar to the issues faced by 7500 and 7501 users it screws up the Com Manager. I found the post from Tadeusz back in Aug '07 advising to install the Comm Mgr cooked for the Athena PK v.2 ROM. However, when I try to load the Comm Mgr Cab also on to the Flash Drive it reports that the program does not have sufficient permissions. I know that Tobias has not been around for quite a while. Can anyone else suggest a solution?
Thanks a bunch.
Real VGA on 7510
Well maybe I spoke too soon - I'm now getting a white screen straight after a reset. It seems that the only way to recover is a hard reset. Any thoughts on whether RealVGA will not work on the 7510 after all?

Are you sure it was caused by realVGA? Did you do any soft reset with a third party software such as Tweak2k2? I had that exactly same problem when using Tweak2k2, and the creator of the program explained that his soft reset logic is outdated for the newer OS and advised me to poke into the hole and not use the soft reset feature.
In other word, each time when you're asked to click OK to restart, don't click the ok, but poke into the hole.
May be this is not the problem, but since it is so similar to what I experienced before, I thought you may like to try.

You can ask someone who can copy the .exe file of comm manager who is using the VGA file and just copy & paste that to your ROM then soft reset.

RealVGA 1.1 works perfectly on my X7510... But I did not try to change the Comm Manager.
Actually my device is always on 96dpi... and I am very happy with it
Real VGA on a 7510
Hey Eaglesteve,
Good to hear from anothet Aussie on this - I'm from Melb & Bris before coming to LA six years ago. Actually I don't think it was the realVGA that caused the problem cause it happened again after I reste everything - have not worked out what it was yetbut being more circumspect in reloading the other apps this time.
RealVGA
Thanks for the suggestion cktlcmd. Can anyone respond to give me that .exe file for the tweaked Comm Mgr whilst running realVGA?
Also, would you advise loading realVGA into main memory rather than the flash drive or does it not matter?
Thanks
The rogue program??
At the moment I'm thinking that it was SRS_WOWHD_ARM.CAB that cause the white screen - I hope so cause I am not looking forward to reloading for the eighth time!

It does matter. It should be loaded into main memory. When the OS starts it is building its interface in parallel with setting up devices so it can happen that your SD card is not active yet when the OS needs files for interface.
Thanks Tadeusz. I have it seemingly running successfully with it loaded on to the flash drive rather than the SD card. Does your comment regarding the delay in time for the SC card to wake up apply to flash memory also?
realvga problem
I have just installed the realvga and I have seen the permission problem.
The way to do it is like this. After you installed the realvga, the screen is still in 192dpi (i.e. normal mode). You then install the comm manager, you will not get any problem with permission. then you activate the 96dpi mode from the realvga software. The machine will reboot and you will be ok. At least this is how I did it.
hope this helps,
Sorry to say that I followd your suggestion and I still got 'The program cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions". To clarify I'm trying to load "PK 2.0 kaiser 10B Comm Man for VGA" which was the recommended file. I have tried one with (fixed) in the name as well as one without, and I've tried them both in main memory as well as on the flash drive. I've also tried them both with RealVGA both in main memory and on flash drive? I've even tried loading sdkcerts - no joy.
You have to tweak it from the registry:
Allow the unsigned application to be installed by:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
Change value 0000101a from 0 to 1
Do a soft reset.
Can you post a screen picture of how this Comm Manager looks at 96dpi? and maybe the Cab file too?
Thanks cktlcmd - the registry change fixed the problem. THere are 3 files that I found - I'm using the PK 2[1].0 file. Actually I've tried all 3 and cannot really see any difference. I've loaded the file on to the on board Flash Drive.
I've attached screen shots - you'll see that it looks fine in 96 and 128, but not good in 192 although it still appears to work. I'm currently running my x7510 in 128.
The things that still do not come across running realVGA are:
1. the Domain Enroll icon under Connection Settings disapears
2. ActiveSysc icon at the foot of the ActiveSync window in Programs is not quite there (no real big issue).
3. All of the program icons disapear from the HTC Launcher selection dialog (where you go to select programs to appear on the launcher grid). Once selected the icons apper on the grid just fine.
The biggest issue I have is that when selected RealOne Player hops all over the screen from landscape to portrait until it finally loads. Looks as if I'm having some issues with Skype also.
Two steps forward ..... one back!?

Your welcome.
Thanks for the pictures. It still looks funny in my view. I still prefer VCommManager for now.
Hello,
no one find problems with sms apps in 96 dpi display mode ?
Problem with installation...
Hi, got the following error message when I try to run the realVGA. Any advice on how to solve?
"Missing 128 DPI resources: ipsecvpnres.128.dll"
Tried 96 as well, same problem about missing DPI resources. Tried continue but soon get into continuous looping in resetting...
Thanks.

Look at post 168 by IRUS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406348&page=17
Thanks should be directed to him.
Just copy and paste the needed files to Windows Folder before activating the desired dpi.
Thanks cktlcmd for pointing to the VGA answer!
For my x7510 when i did the 128dpi setting on real VGA it did do everything smaller and a comfortable dpi. Its just all the icons in the "programs" menu are kinda not smoothish, as in they have jagged edges. Thats what i don't really like about RealVGA program is that the graphics kinda look bad.
Whenever my phone wakes up from a sleep or I end a phone call, three error messages pop up saying that I'm missing three different files.
Yesterday, I installed some weather apps to try out, but I forgot to backup my regs. So when I uninstalled them, they must not have cleaned up too well and still try to run!
Three errors are:
Cannot execute \program files\Outerdepth\KPWeather\KPWeather.exe
Cannot execute \program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\weather.exe
Cannot execute \program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\monitor.exe
I searched the registry and found some registry entries in the Mort process key. Deleted those. Error still persists.
There is nothing in startup like these. No program files to look for because the folders aren't there.
I just want my phone to go back to normal. Preferably without hard reset.
Please help this fool. :'(
EDIT:
Forgot to say, I'm using a Samsung Omnia i910. Upgraded to compact.net framework 3.5, if that is relevant.
Perhaps this would be more appropriate in each packages
thread?

Please refer to these links respectively

Done with it.
I just decided that it was better to hard reset the phone. The trouble and hours I spent on this weren't worth it, and I just wanted to get back to enjoying my phone.
Maybe these posts will get some sort of exposure and have the problem solved so the next person can find it.
I went the same route and hard reset the phone as well. Oh well!
try reinstalling them and then uninstalling them using SKTools
oh.. and then perform a cleanup using SKTools
still..
.. after using SKtools on a Polaris (uninstall, cleaning up, in normal and safe mode, you name it) I still get the same annoying message.
is there any solution to this?
thanx
alex.
That annoys me totaly. SKTools don't fix the problem. I only could fix it with a dummy exe file. But don't have tested it. It would be nice if the coder of
NRG Mini Chome Weather 1.2.1 + Monitor BJ Version.cab

I'm using this medical program UpToDate a lot at work, but it only works well if IE is my default browser. But, except for this, I prefer to use Opera.
Can someone please make a script/program to temporarily set IE as def. browser? What I'm thinking of is a Mortscript which, if started,
- first sets IE as default,
- then runs UpToDate,
- if UpToDate exits: set Opera as default browser.
Would this, or another solution be possible? Can someone help me with this, I have no experience in programming.
To be clear, UpToDate is working for me (it's not the problem with a white screen you find elsewhere on this forum), but if I open an article for the second time in one session, it open in Opera, and links cannot be clicked anymore. Others are having this problem as well.
BUMP?
Can someone help me with a short script to temp set IE as standard browser and upon exit set Opera back as default?
Thanks
I`m also looking for this ...
Cheers~
There is a thread on which several solutions are posted..... a quick way to do this is go to internet explorer, under tools option other select tell me if IE is not default browser....., then exit ie, then lauch again ie, you should see a windows that says IE is not the default browse.....would you like it to be?... or something like that, select yes and the fire up uptodate..... in a second I will post the link to the thread with other automatic solutions....
Anyway, there is a problem about scrolling in uptodate, but there is also a solution, FStouchl.... If you know mortscript, could you write a mortscript that launches fstouchl when uptodate is lauched and close it when it closes? thanks...
link to the thread, here you go....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5661154#post5661154
anyhow, I am on dutty's HG1.7 21898 and I do not need to use any kind of hacks to run uptodate, not even selct ie as default, only fstouchl .... just my 2 cents.
Thanks for replies.
The fix you gave is functional if UTD is not working at all (white screen bug). UpToDate is running well for me, but there is aother small bug if I open an article for the second time in one session, it opens in Opera. This can be solved by making IE one's def. browser. So I was looking for a script to temporary do this.
Do you experience this bug as well?
It's not a major task, so I'll write you an application to do it. I'll have a play around and try and get something together for you this afternoon. Just one thing - what's the UpToDate exe called?
OK thanks. The UpToDate exe is named UpToDatePPC50.exe, and for me it is located in \Storage Card\Program Files\UpToDate.
Could you please make it revert back to Opera as default browser upon exit of UpToDate?

Basically, you'll need to rename the current UpToDate exe to something else (not decided yet) and I'll call this application UpToDatePPC50.exe. That way, your shortcuts will run this application instead. It will read the default browser (in case you ever change it to something else) and then set it to be IE. Then it will run the program and finally revert your default browser to the original when you exit.
It's pretty straight-forward, but I'll PM you with a link when it's ready for you to test. Once you're happy, I'll attach it to this thread as a zip. Hopefully, I'll get something to you later today

This has actually turned out to be a much bigger job than expected. When I first saw this I was under the impression that the default browser was identified by 1 registry key. Unfortunately, that's not the case. There's a LOT of registry keys that are affected by your choice of default browser.
I'll still do this, but it won't be soon as I already have some major projects underway. All I can suggest is subscribing to this thread so you get an update when I've done something.
Johncmolyneux , I hope that you will not forget about this !
Cheers~
I now use the Mortscripts that are available for this for using UpToDate, they work fine, and only one extra tap is needed. You will find them if you search this forum for UpToDate.
I`ve did but no luck .. Maybe I`m missing something . Could you be more precise ?

I'm glad you found a way to do this. I've just not had the time to even look into it, so it's a relief to me that you've got it sorted. Nice one mate
To clear things up: we are talking about the "white screen issue"* here, not about a license issues or things like that.
There are several solutions here on XDA for the white screen problem. I've tried them all, and now it is working. I'm not complete sure which one solved it for me though .
I'm almost sure this worked for me:
2: Install dr. Tom's UptoDate fix (which is a .cab.).
3: After that install Mortscript 4.2, also a .cab (to be able to run the scripts)
4: Download the two scripts and place them on your device. (one for uptodate and one for internet explorer)
5: Open the uptodate script in a text editor and check if directs to the correct location of the uptodate executable (depending on if you installed uptodate on your device or storage card). Modify and save if necessary.
6: Run the uptodate script to start upto date. Run the IE-script to start IE. You will notice IE does not work after running the UTD script, untill you run the IE script again. And vice versa.
Good luck!
