Software to monitor changes during install - General Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
I have spent the past few days trying to remember the name of a program I used a long time (and many ROMs) ago that would log all the changes made to a phone while the program was running.
This software was good for keeping an eye on registry changes made during installs and post-install customization of software.
Does anyone know what the name of the software is and/or a link to the CAB?
I have tried my best to look through my software folders, search the forums, and google and still no dice so now I'm turning to you all.
Thanks in advance!

You can try SKTracker. You should be able to Google it. Not free but it works great for finding changes.

Thanks for your help! I'll give that one a shot this weekend if I can't get any help finding the free one. I'm just really not wanting to spend more money on this phone than I already have especially when the one whose name I can't remember did exactly what I needed and was free.
But, like I said, thanks for giving me (and anyone else interested in the same subject) options.

Once upon a time...Remote Desktop?

Hiya Guys,
I used to use an application (freeware) that enabled me to view the screen of my PDA on my computer whilst it was synced, I also used to be able to make changes on the PDA using the keyboard on the computer too! Which was so much easier for creating new contacts etc.
Can anyone here remember what it was called and where I can find it again.? I'v searched but cant seem to find it!
Only down side is it now has to WM5 Compatible.
Thanks for your help guys, look forward to hearing from someone soon.

You are a star! Exactly what I was after. Cheers
njcoussell - you might want to change the topic title to show that the problem has been solved.
There are a few other apps that do this as well... but the MS one is good enough I think.

Free apps for LGKS20??

Fav Apps
Hi All,
Just got a phone from korea Which is very cool!
I was wondering if there any cool or new app that can run on my phone.
My phone is a LG KS20........touch screen.
Any advice really appricated!
Thanks,
i heard there is a free app called google search. It is fun, painless, and most of all free!!!!
I found some free apps for your phone see HERE
Now you can search and find some too
You've got yourself a Windows Mobile phone - congratulations.
There's a plethora of free apps for WM out there, and Google will indeed point them out for you. You need to read around (a lot) and try them out (a lot). Always remember to note the forum rules.
Most of the apps from this site should work on your KS20 - should, because a) this is an XDA site after all and some apps & mods will be XDA-specific, and b) the KS20 doesn't support all WM apps as well as it should. Look out for dedicated LG or KS20 forums - I know there are a few.
Btw, I gave my KS20 back six months ago because of a battery bug, because audio output in satnav apps doesn't work and because support for a few important other WM apps is poor. These bugs have turned up all around the planet - it's all there in the forums, but I didn't know that before I bought mine. It's a nice sleek device with a good touch screen, but it just didn't work for me. If they haven't managed to put that right yet, and if you can still give it back to the vendor, you might consider getting - well, an XDA.
N.
This belongs in the Questions and Answers thread. Almost everything should work on your phone if its running WM6. Might wanna check the resolution on the programs before you download them and any other prerequisites
Lgks20
Lol oppsss......i sorry
i am new to this site
Yeah.....OMG this site is the man

i have an iphone theme on my phone already and i am trying to find more app to put on my phone
i want GAlarm on my phone, but i trying to find one,but i can't (help)
And a website would be helpful guys Thx
i just new to this website and having trouble finding what i need
I have the same phone... its windows mobile, that means there are thousands of apps
But you should check out fingermenu that's great...
i can give you a few tips though... dont expect to run too many graphics heavy apps like PointUI Home 2 or winterface it just cant handle them, LG forgot the drivers
it can handle SPB shell and PointUI Home 2 though so some works...
also keep you proof of purchase near might just be me unlucky but ive had mine on service two times in less than six months, on time i got a battery bug the status wouldnt update always 100% and the battery time was very short too... and now the screen got yellow spots on it so service again
just look trough these forums every now and then and you will find plenty of great apps

HTC Touch HD Problem

Guys,
I need your help. My HTC Touch HD cannot initiate the TouchFlo (3D), and I cannot view it the way it should be at all. I don't know what happened but it just doe sthe following when you restart it:
It will go to the TouchFlo (3D) Page and the message saying "Tap Here to Launch TouchFlo (3D)
I tap and it keeps saying Launching TouchFlo (3D) but it never does that
I can access the mobile from the Start Menu but I want my Touch HD Back to the way it was before.
Anybody has any suggestions please post them or email me at: [email protected]
thank you guys

Save PIM data (ex with PimBackUp or similar) then make an HardReset: HD off, Hold VolUp+VolDown then one click on PowerOn Botton.
D'rath
PS: The process erases all your data but solve the SW problems
Wait, hard reset is the last solution!
Have you installed an application or any graphics drivers? New rom?
If so then you could try to uninstall it and see if the problem is solved!
Sometimes I had this when installing bad drivers.
You could try to install these drivers. (at least before doing a hard reset)
helio is correct,
HR is the last resort (although it will of course fix the problem) as you wont understand what has caused the underlying problem, you will then install the same software/apps and end up with the same issue.
Look at what you have have installed recently, or changed manila files. An incorrect change if playing with a manila file will cause touchflo not to start.
Thanks Guys for your Comments and Recommendations, I really appreciate that,
I need to know how to Backup the PIM Data. I found a file with pim next to it and I already saved it on the Storage Card. Is there any other PIM File(s)? I also listened to you onnot doing the Hard Reset, and removed every software I have doubt about or had installed recently. But the problem still presists, TouchFlo (3D) Cannot launch. Help and thanks again.
Use this app, zip below, to back up your data (emails, contacts etc). The app is simple to use. Word of warning if you use Exchange to sync email and contacts, be CAREFUL....restoring your contacts and then syncing will duplicate all your contact entries (i know because i did it and ended up with 2000 contacts!!!)
You dont say what you had installed, just that you had removed them. Purely unistalling may not fix the issue if a registry change has not reversed.
Have you been playing with any manila files, or deleting anything you shouldnt be? Have you been playing with the registry?
If you really cant analize what you have done and without much more info, you have to decide if the HR is the only available option to you (ie you want the quick fix).
Dear Timmymarsh,
thank you for all you've done for me, I really appreciate that. I am sorry I did not mention what I did. What I have done is try a new ROM, I think it Was WWE but which one I don't remember. I downloaded a bunch of files from this site, thinking they would work without testing them first. But they did not turn out to be what I was looking for. I downloaded the Choco Clock, Sygic GPS, and others from the Manila....and other developers but when I unzipped and installed them they did not work for some reason. So I just deleted them, the thing is I know I should have uninstalled them first. But for some reason I just can't even find the files created by these add-ons or applications. No, I did not touch the registry at all. I am not a Software Man, obviously you guys are amazing in this stuff, I am more into infrastructure if you have any uestions about Wireless Network or Physical Security let me know. I am trying to learn more about this Mobile and want to be able to utilize it to the fullest. Thank you again. For this time I think I am going with the HR so I can erase everything that I downloaded and did not setup Properly, then I am going to install only trusted add-ons and softwares. thanks.
No probs my friend, its what we are here for yes
As for what you have done, its always best to uninstall first, just deleting causing reg problems hence the issues you are now facing. I would say on this occasion HR is your best bet. Best bit of advise i can give you is, install one app/software, test and if there are no compatability issues then add another, if there is then at least you know to safely remove by unistalling that app.
Have fun, the HD is a brilliant bit of kit and can be expanded/modded vastly

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

Any date hacking program for PPC?

Hello guys and gals of XDA!
This is my first post, I recently encountered a problem with one of the program I'm using. Some software restrict it's usage by checking system's date. For example, before 2010-4-1 you can run the program fine without any problem... but after, for example, 2010-4-1, when you run the program, it will give you an error message saying that it's already expired.
I wonder if there is a hack or utility out there that will "tell or lie" to this program that's it is year 1999 without me having to change the system date everytime I need to run the expired program.
Thank, any reply is very appreciated.
you could always buy it. just a thought
YEP.. No WAREZ here.. Why would you need it. You can find almost everything developed by our friends at XDA.

this doesn't automatically mean he's doing s.th. illegal
e.g. the iDiamond-Project was for free, but had an expiry date and just stopped working someday. later on, the developer(s) fixed this.

Then he should contact the developers and tell them he needs a fix, not come here and ask us about it.

charles - what did the developers say when you contacted them about this bug? What piece of software is it?
Thanks guys for your replies.
I just found the updated version of the program with extended usable period.
But a date hacking program is certainly nice to have...
Well... Thanks, Have fun and happy PDAing...
