SPV 600

Hi there,
Firstly, I am new to all this so please dont flame me to hard for it. I have been looking all over the forum and spent some hours here before I decided to post this
I have a SPV M600 and want to do the following
1) Unlock it to T-Mobile
2) Update the rom to the Imate Jamin Rom (I have this)
3) Do I need to clear the ext rom ?
I dont know what tools or programs I need so if someone could kindly tell me where to get these and in what order to do it in, I will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for ignoring my ignorance
Thanks

Not an answer to your question but a question for you:
The SPV M600 has Orange's horrible menu over the top of the regular M$ Today screen. Is it possible to get rid of this and have the standard M$ user interface? The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of getting one as my next PDA/Phone.
Hopefully someone will provide links to all the instructions you need. :wink:

Can you please post your version details?
i.e your ROM and radio version etc, because not all of the rom versions can be unlocked....
some people have managed to change ROM to the new Imate one using Machinagod's RUU utility, but it does not sim unlock your device.
Some users have unlocked using Lockiwiz (search in wizard forum), but it does not work with AKU2 ROMS
Hope this helps

hi,
i recently purchased a spv m600. you can easily use the standard today screen. just go into the "today" parameters and uncheck the "orange" entry in the elements section.
i have done this and am happily using a standard today screen. however...
on the orange screen there is a cool menu for the sms stuff. it gives you lots of information about sms receieved, etc... i am missing this a little.
however, without the orange today screen, i can not find the sms program at all. i have been looking around, but have not found the executable to be able to launch or create a shortcut.
if any one out there knows where it is, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. I have thoroughly searched through the forum and this is the closest I have come to nyoneone mentioning Oranges Today plugin!
I am trying to customise my Today screen using Wisbar Advance & WAD, but the Orange Today plugin keeps poppin up and interfering with available option for the WAD screen. I think it's an incompatibility thing, but I can't get rid of the Orange plugin even though I have it unchecked in the Today settings.
Please help. Is it deletable (the plug-in) or does anyone know its file/application name?
Any help is appreciated. :?

Did you even read the manual??
To get rid of the Orange plug-in:
Go to Start -> Settings -> Today Screen -> Items
Unceck Orange and press "Ok"

Been there, done that!!

'but I can't get rid of the Orange plugin even though I have it unchecked in the Today settings.'
Tried that! Hence the request for some help!??! :roll:
Anyway, not to worry mccune. Thanks for trying all the same. :wink:

Remove items from Today Menu?

Hello all,
Is it possible to REMOVE an item from the Today Menu list?
I don't mean the Today Screen, I mean from Start|Settings|Today|Items
Thanks guys!
Dax.

Of course.
If it is a custom item just uninstall the plugin (uncheck it first).
Otherwise get a registry editor and delete the relevant key under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\[item name]
Note that if you do this the plugin will stop working.

errhem, yes, I realise this.
I have a few today plugins listed that are no longer installed, obviously messy uninstallers.
cheers,

Delete contact categories in WM6

I made some extra categories to link to my contacts.
but there are a view that i never use.
does anybody know a way to delete those?
Thank you!

I've got the same problem with my HTC Tytn on WM5. No doubt it would be a similar response but short of a registry edit I'm not sure. I've searched all the menus with nothing
If I find out a way I'll let you know, but if you're on WM6 it might be different. :!

Someone?

Install Pocket Informant and then bring up the categories and delete the ones you want. Once complete, remove PI and all should be well.

Doesn't look like an option...
There is bound to be a setting in the registry. If I find one I'll post well.

Don't be. It was probably me when tired. I'm doing a lot of 14h days at rotating hours 14h work, 2h travelling, 9h rest, and onwards

I know this post is very old but here it goes. I read this in a MS forum and it worked on my Treo Pro.
"To delete a stale category this worked for me (I have a WM6 phone): ensure no tasks/contacts/calendar appointments have that category. Create a new task, assign the stale category, then delete it."
Hope this helps

bump, on my HTC Touch Pro you can't assign a category to a task. Anyone have any other solutions?

Owner Information Missing wm6.5

First let me say I have tried the registry edit fix and it did not work. I simply do not have have nor does it show owner information in the today, items tab. I have soft reset after each change and no icon nor any entry. I also dont have a "me" entry in my contacts. I have some third party software I have purchased and now they have defaulted to trial versions because I can't input any owner information. This is a real problem for me and I would greatly appreciate any and all knowledge in this problem. I have a sprint HTC touch pro 2 that was upraded from 6.1 to 6.5.

Owner information..
Took me a little time to find it.......Programs/Settings/Menu/All Settings/Personal/Owner Information .....

Use the one from Sense...under sense settings tab. If you insist!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4268138&postcount=3
Read the above post, and it has owner info. You need to remove the redirect key using one of the registry editors, and soft reset.

I have G-alarm, the best and highly customizable alarm program for wm6.x devices, and it requires owners info for activation after the trial period. Because I have a Sprint Touch Pro2 that I upgraded to wm6.5, the owner's info was missing in my phone too. So I contacted Ageye, the developer of G-alarm, and he gave me a website that he made to correct this problem in different ways. My favorite way is to do the following:
Use a registry editor (e.g. the free "PHM Registry Editor") and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner. You should find a key called "Hide". Please change its value from "1" to "0" and restart your device. Now you should be able to find the owner settings.
Ageye has other simple alternatives that you can read about by going to his link. Good luck with yours.

Ok look man. You might need to master reset if you have did this & that. Cause you could have did something you don't know. Your human right? Use Resco Explorer new one on website installs all tools. Go to Registry HKLM/ControlPanel/Owner, change Hide from 1 to 0, Reboot. Go to settings personal it's right their. later.........

the shortcut dont want to start because of he is not trusted with certificate. should i do something else?

you'll need to edit the registry to allow unsigned apps to run without a confirmation screen.
schaps advanced config 3.3 has the option in it.
Or there are probably a few cabs around here somewhere, to change just the one thing, if you can find them.
Did you install mortscript?

what cab's mate? have been tried for 3 days everything around this forum and still no luck with certification error.

a .cab is an installation file for ppc.
the '...not signed with a trusted certificate...' error is a safeguard put in place by Microsoft, to allow only official apps to be run, freeware hasn't paid MS to include a certificate, so most people disable the check in the registry. All custom ROMs do this as standard, most experienced people will disable it immediately upon buying a new phone, and seeing as this has been around for several years, most cab files are probably on the older forums.
Anyway, as already mentioned, schapp's advanced config 3.3 has the option to disable it.
Just google any phrase you want with 'xda' at the start to search this site, or add a 'search this site' button to your toolbar.
