Trying to create executable Hyperlinks - General Questions and Answers

I'm running SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 on WM 6.1 (Tilt) and would like to be able to create shortcuts that I can add as page widgits that will allow me to open a webpage.
The idea being I don't have to open Opera and find a favorite. Rather I have an icon on my homepage that when clicked will take me to a predefined webpage.
I have a copy of Visual Basic 6 and was thinking I could create an executable that I could shortcut to. But I don't have a clue what to use as code.
Clearly I'm not a hardcore techie or developer so posting here. Thanks in advance for the help.

My OEM Packages to Share

I know you can get them from other places either in CAB or in OEM Packages. However, it's just too difficult to get them all together.
So I present you some of the OEM packages which I collected, extracted or created for use in my ROM.
1. The first one is taken from Schaps' ROM. It's a 3G-Battery with Indicator. I didn't ask Schaps' permission for this. I hope he's cool with it.
2. O2 Backup is taken from O2 Life and has been fixed to work on all devices. It allows you to backup PIM & My Documents data
3. O2 SMS Plus v1.6 is also taken from O2 Life. It's sorta like SMS Threaded applications. It also allows you to send/receive vCard from other dumb phones. It also support group SMS & Scheduled SMS
4. HTC Album v1.1030.720. Taken from a CAB file with fixed English Interface (Originally Chinese). You can choose which Folder to browse.
Here are another 4 Packages:
1. Newer version of HTC Home v2.1.105.722
2. Adobe Flash Lite v2.1 with the Cool HTC Animation from Schaps
3. Schaps' Advance Configuration v1.1
4. Palm Threaded SMS with fixed database folder. Instead of in Windows Directory, I patched the database to be stored on 'My Documents' folder for easy backup. You need to rename your backup SMS data from 'PalmMsgv001' to 'Palm01' and copy it to 'My Documents' folder.
Another 4 Packages
1. KeepAlive is a very old freeware from WinCE days. It prevents your PPC from turning Off. It's very usefull when you need to let you device on all the time.
2. PowerOff is another old freeware from Scott Seligman. It just shows a tiny PowerOff buttons at the Today Screen.
3. O2 Smart Text is also taken from O2 Life. It's just another thumb inputs with T9 capability. Good for One-Handed Operation
4. Picsel PDF Viewer. Taken from PPCGeeks. A superb PDF viewer compared to Adobe offering.
I downloaded all but I couldn't install even a single one.
These are not cab files nor installation .exe files nor a folder placed in the machine to run off with.
What are they? If these are for ROM cooking only then they are outside what most of us want to deal with.
These are OEM packages for ROM cooking and since this is the upgrading forum its the right place for things like this to be posted (IMO).
I personally wouldn't mind a separate forum for cooking, as some of the questions here are rather 'off topic' from ROM upgrading (flashing) or cooking, since installing an application is not an UPGRADE in any sense of the word...
Until then, it seems like this is the right place for this...
Thanks for your contributions [email protected]...
wow...a package for palmsms...hopefully it works.
Thanks for the packages! Am sure some cookers will find these handy!
how to benefit from thsoe if you are not a cook?
Hello,
a lot of thsoe packages look really useful, but, noby uses them so far in the offical release ROMs.
Cooking your ownROM still sounds intimidaing to me (and mybe others), so is there an easy to get thsoe as cab files, or is it posible to cook a delta ROM just adding those pakcages to one of the release ROMS?
Thanks
Juju
As requested by you here or via PM. Here are the CAB files for the OEM packages.
The 3G Battery Level will replace a system file. So you need to install Certificate CAB to allow the installation.
For Keep Alive, PowerOff, Advance Configuration, just copy the execute file to your Kaiser. No installation is needed.
HTC Home & Album CABs are widely available so I won't post them again. To change the HTC Album to English menu (from Chinese) you need to copy the 'RFileShell.dll' from Resco Explorer english Version.
Enjoy!
There is another nice application called O2 Theme which works well with kaiser. This is the WM6 version of O2 Plus. To learn about this, you can go to this thread I posted in Athena board:

Hi,
the M8 is standard Software input panel (hereinafter SIP) modules, that's means if applications that follow the windows mobile design guide, it will work properly with different sized SIP.
your idea will be take in to account and thanks for your supports.

Subject: M8 help hint
hello developers
your product M8 is very good!
one more idea, to improve usability:
make an option to let keyboard appear from top of screen, till the middle.
the reason is: some applications have text input field at the bottom, but doesn't recognize keyboard allocated this place. and doesn't redraw it's input field higher (on the top of new appeared keyboard), so application text input field becoming invisible until the end of input.
another solution on same problem:
make your keyboard application it's own temporary input window on top of keyboard.
(it may optionally include increased font size for better visibility on street)
will be waiting for your reply, and a new version
thanks
now, let's wait for new release of it (under name of O2 or standalone M8)
Palm Threaded SMS changed database folder

I guess this is somewhat helpful because it's easier to back up the My Documents folder than find PalmMsgv001 in \Windows and back that up.
However, I hardly ever put anything into \My Documents because of the chance of forgetting about backing it up before flashing a new ROM. Hopefully someday we'll see a Threaded Messaging app that has more options - like save folder, and font size (the font is so tiny!). That's why I liked TxtMan - but it crashes too often, and isn't completely integrated into the Windows messaging system.
if someone could fix palm to work on the kaiser thatd be fabalous.. i know im jumping off topic but im willing to offer up $25.00!
here is the O2plus 2.3 cab , working on touchpro

Cut & Paste Function

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to cut & paste text with my e-mails using a
s710.
Thanks for the help
That option comes with wm 6.1 but if you are using wm 6.0 you can install programs like : "SmartToolkit 1.0.0.RC08" or "VITO CopyPaste"
Thanks Matrix.. How do I select the text (Highlight) to cut/paste. Thank you..
I use 6.1 and I still use Vito Copy/Paste. You can select text by holding the center d-pad button and it will popup a menu allowing you to cut all, copy all or paste.
Check out my signature. My software incorporates Vito CopyPaste and many other ways of copying and pasting. It has many more functions like supporting multiple browsers, favorites, etc. Take a look at the screenshots, the clipboard/copy/paste will be something of interest.

Please help me create a shortcut directly to a website

Hi everyone,
I am a complete newbie and any help would be greatly appreciated, feel free to treat me like a 7 year old.
1. Is it possible to create a shortcut directly to a webpage, other than simply reseting the homepage, on WM 6.1 on a Sprint Touch Pro? Preferably I would like to have the shortcut also sign me into the page as it requires a username and a password.
2. Also I found the GC java pack, but the font is incredibly small on my device. I found a mod for a VGA screen but then I lose the ability to scroll via the touchscreen.
Thank you,
Payam
PS. I apologize if this post is in the wrong forum.

Is there a way to use deeper folders in W6.1 Mobile office?

Hi,
I have recently bought a Samsung Omnia, which I am fairly happy with. ifonz makes it a gem!
Still one thing which I think is plain stupid is that MS 6.1 Office Mobile can only access folders to a "depth" of two folders.
I'm curious is there a registry tweak to get past this? Or any other way?
I need to keep notes, docs, photos and the like fairly organised.
Softmaker Office(70€) can do it, but is fairly expensive. So I think, if Softmaker can do it, it does not seem to be a limitation of Win Mobile but rather of office mobile.
It there is no workaround, how can I deinstall Win Office Mobile and replace it by Softmaker?
Office Mobile seems to be integrated in Win Mobile.
Please use simple instructions I am not a computer wizkid (but I can change reg entries if you tell me where).
Thanks a lot!!
Franziska
I finally solved this issue:search in developers site "filedlgchg" and you will find 2 files to put in windows ppc folder...(follow the instructions in the post).
To navigate in folders you must press in left corner of bottom bar(to go up)or directly in the folders in popup window(to go down)
It works, but only partial in office mobile..
Hi, at least I can save now where I want. Great. Still I can not open where I want. At least not in Office applications. Is there a work around for this too?
Thanks for your help,
Franziska
I don't use office application to open office files.I use shortcuts to single docs or folders in Mortbuttons application:try it, it's a very good software...and free!!

Question on adding reg keys to ROM

For the last week, I haven't had any luck finding answers to this stuff.
First order of business:
NetFront Browser is, in my opinion, the only mobile browser; so I'm cooking it into the ROM. But, I want the IE hotkey to open it - I can't find the reg entry, anywhere. Is it part of a library?
Second order:
Generally, how do I add new regs in SuperJust?
Show me a screenshot of what hotkey you're talking about?
Sorry what I meant by hotkey is the [alt]+[right arrow] command which opens IE by default.
But I found a shortcut (by accident!) ---
You can edit "\Windows\short_ie.lnk" to any location, using SPB Plus or Total Commander.
However, I can't find this link file in any of the Kitchen directories to have it readied to the ROM... and I'm still unclear on how to add the new registry entries I have that will bypass the SPB Shell & Netfront activations.
Oh, for educational purposes of course
Look at Ivans Justhome files in the kitchen i believe he has edited a hotkey in his reg. Not 100% sure though.
