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?

Did you find out how to start the functioning of program from icon.
I cannot find the explorer.exe in the rom

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:

Hey everyone. I'm new here, and I'm hoping you all can help me.
I just upgraded to WM6, and I'm having difficulties personalizing a few things. On WM5 I used to make complete custom skins for the phone and the today screen. Complete with custom buttons for the phone that changed colors when you pressed them. Now that I "upgraded" (HA!) to WM6, it says I'm not allowed to change those bitmaps to ones of my own!
I've read thread after thread, and found a few that said something about Total Commander letting you change the files, but I just couldn't get that to work either.
Does anyone have an answer for this? I would be forever grateful.
Thanks.

Have you tried to soft reset and then changing file if not they maybe rename the old file and copy the new file. I suggest first to soft reset and before opening any other app replace your files.
Yeah, I have actually tried that, but it won't let me rename the file. I can highlight the name, but it won't change.
I'm thinking about trying to just go back to WM5, is that possible?
To revert back you would just need a wm5 rom. What files are you trying to replace...maybe I can help.
Thanks, I would really appreciate that.

They're in the "windows" folder.
I've tried using Total Commander, and the other was SDA Application Unlock. Maybe I just don't know how to go about using those programs in the correct manner.
I tried to replace these files and I was successful. What I did was use task manager to close as many processes as possible and then through my Windows Explorer replaced the files. If the system does not allow you to change something it's only because it is in use. Try closing as many processes as you can it should work. Once finished soft reset your device and you should be good to go. I replace many of these files myself so if you can't it must be something that is using the file.
Ok, I tried what you said, but I kept getting errors for apparrently end the wrong processes. I'm not too computer saavy, so who knows what I was turning off. Any Idea what programs might have been using them? Should I take a screenshot of my list of processes for you to please check out for me?
Place a screen shot here of your processes after doing a soft reset and I might be able to tell you which to close.
Ok, here's what I got going on... Thanks again, I REALLY appreciate it!

That looks like the processes from windows not the phone.
oooooohhhhh, ok! How do I get into that on the phone? I'll go check the forums to see if I can figure it out...
So I downloaded the trial version of SPB Clone. You can get it here if you want to check it out:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/clone/download.html
Anyway, I made a clone file. It is a self exctractine exe file to be run from the mobile device.
My Mobile device is an AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser) running WM 6.1.
What I want to do, is cook that self extracting exe file into a ROM I will cook, and have it automatically run during user customizations after every hard reset.
Anyone know how I would go about that?
I would imagine that I probably have to unpack (or whatever you call it) the exe file somehow. How would I go about that? mind you, this is an exe file that runs from the mobile device, not from the pc.
I would also, if at all possible, like to hide the screen people see while the restore file is running. So instead of it saying "SPB Clone restoring" with a cancel button, or something like that, the screen would say something like "Finishing device reset, please wait, this can take up to 10 minutes" or something like that.
Can anyone help me out with this?
The Wingster: Access to all of the best Programs, ROMs, and Hacks for your T-Mobile Wing
As many of you already know, I created a website called "The Wingster", which is dedicated to everything for the T-Mobile Wing.
Programs - All programs are tested for compatibility with the Wing, any bugs or issues are reported, screenshots are created, features are listed, and more. I'm making all the apps on XDA accessable by the common user!
ROMs - There are a lot of ROMs out there, and since the cooks are busy creating newer versions, they don't always have time to make a nice detailed description page about their ROM. So I do it for them! Don't spend all of your time digging through a lengthy thread, if there was anything important that happened, it will be on The Wingster!
More - The Wingster is the place for everything T-Mobile Wing. If anything important happens about the phone, I'll be sure to tell everyone. The Wing II (HTC Touch Pro 2) will also be added to the site once I get it this July!
Enjoy using The Wingster!
Sneak Peak: A Mobile Wingster is coming in the near future! You can already visit the page, but I'd recommend not, because I'm still working on it. If you'd like an idea of how the mobile page will look in it's final version, visit this page. I know The Wingster is already freakin fast at loading, but I just wanted to make an even better mobile version!
And donations are always welcome! I've gotta pay $15 a year for the awesome website domain, so you've all got about 10 months to come up with $15 so we can keep the site! Just kiddin, I can pay that myself, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to. So yea, send the donations via Pay Pal, here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5401195
I hope I've helped all of you! And if anyone cannot donate with money, a nice reply saying how I helped you is always welcome! Just knowing that I'm helping everyone here makes me even more motivated to make the site better!
Thanks everyone, and thanks to Ivan especially, his awesome ROMs inspired me to make The Wingster.

ok i downloaded the flash center unzipped into my desktop. downloaded the nbh file. dragged the nbh file into the RUU folder, inside the flash center folder. Connected my phone and my computer through usb, and put my phone into flight mode. While it was syncing. Your direction on the wingster website said to run the USBL.exe file. But I can only fine the USPL.exe file. I thought you just messed up on the letters so i ran the USPL. exe file that i found in the flash center folder. The command line appears and after 75 percent of the 2nd step begins my phone blanks out white. And then the PDA utility pops out. After clicking finish, and then it saids something error check your utility. I did it like three times. Sometimes my phone pops up this little penguin and then freezes. But after all those attempts my phone still works normal. Can you please help me. Not clear about something just ask me. thanks.

Huh, yea, idk why it's not working. Umm it might be possible that your phone is a lower SPL than 4. Try this out:
Have your phone turned on like normal
Hold down the Camera button, and while holding it, press and release the Soft Reset button. Then once a new screen comes up, release the Camera button. This should bring up a colorscreen (Red, Green, and Blue), if not, tell me.
Check what SPL number you are. It should be over 4. If it is under 4, then we have to try something differently. Also check what IPL you have, and if it's under 4, then tell me again.
If you are over 4 on both of those numbers, then everything should be fine. Idk why it wouldn't work.
Are you using the default T-Mobile ROM (Still shouldn't matter)
Does ActiveSync work normally with your computer???
Answer and do those things that I listed out, then tell me the results and such. Thanks.
Restart the PC. It the PC not allowing the connection.
Also try:
Disabling your firewall.
Disabling and re-enabling USB support in ActiveSync.

The one you press to soft reset, which is the one on the left side of the phone, just below the Volume slider, that little circle. Press it with your stylus.

The files should be fine, I used to use them and they worked perfectly for me. Are you by chance using Windows 7?
Ignore the "disabling the firewall" thing, because that should have no effect.
So yea, are u running Windows 7, Vista, or XP? And is it the 64-Bit or the 32-Bit version??
Don't put that HaRET file on your phone. It'll do nothing. The Penguin is actually part of the bootloader proccess or something, but running that HaRET file will solve nothing. And I have no clue what that HARET file is. And I've never seen a penguin on my screen before.

Idk, you could re-download it again, but all the files are in that one folder. You then placed the downloaded ROM file into the RUU folder there? Thats all you should have to do.
Which ROM are you installing, anyways?
htc wing
I donwnloaded the stable 6.1 version. I never had to unzip the file was i soppose it just automatically saved on to my desktop. And then i dragged it into the RUU file. Is the WM 6.1 soppose to be the NBH file? Because in my folder it says 7Z file type. I have another file but it saids NB file type. is this wrong?

There's a couple problems in doing this as I see it...
First, Changing the Soft Keys when using the WinMo interface (NOT Manila/TouchFlo) requires a registry Hack. I'm assuming that there's prolly a different registry setting somewhere to change what Manilla sets the SoftKeys to, but you'd have to find that first. Maybe someone who is more familiar with the Manilla interface and where registry/settings are, could give you that info...
Secondly, I don't believe (or at least know of) an Executable app that Locks the device. I believe the built-in "Device Lock" functionality is calling a DLL or running service/exe or something, but I don't know of an EXE in the windows directory that you can click on to lock your device. Another post I read mentioned something of a "lock.exe" file in the \Windows\ directory but I believe that was a reference to a 3rd party app since I do not have/see that file. Again someone with more knowledge - please feel free to step in and correct/inform.
in light of those two problems I would recommend using the built-in (or at least built-in on my phone - Fuze w/ WinMo) "Long Press End Key" option found in Start > Settings > System which can be set to lock the device when the "end" key is held down. This option may or may not exist on your phone... I am not sure if it's just something HTC included on mine, or what.
I hope this helps a little bit, or someone else can be of better assistance.
found it
thnaks for ur answer i found it de devicelock is hidden in windows right now i cant remember if its a.exe or what but its named devicelock.
i sold that phone to a friend and now i got an opal, its funny because i found my own q while looking for the same app
