Turning Pocket Internet Explorer 7 into a PC based browser

This tweak: http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/change_pocket_internet_explorer_6
... worked perfectly in PIE6 and I was wondering if an equivalent tweak existed for PIE7.
The tweak for PIE6 above does not work for PIE7.
The pure reason for such a tweak is to allow more sites to be usable/accessible from the Universal. In its current form, PIE7 does not function well with a lot of sites.
I know I could just install another browser, but I want to work with what is already there and not use up the Universal's precious free space.

Sorry for misleading the name.
Its not called "Pocket Internet Explorer 7" but instead it is officially called "Internet Explorer Mobile 6.9".
I did some tests with http://web-sniffer.net and found out that the User-Agent string IEM6.9 gives out is:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatibale; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 6.9)
To make IEM 6.9 look like a desktop IE intead of a Pocket/Mobile IE, all that is needed to be done is to change the User-Agent string iexplorer.exe broadcasts from the one defined above to the following:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatibale; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; IEMobile 6.9)
I have gone through the registery to find out where "Windows CE" is defined as far as IE is concerned and could not find any.
I wanted to transfer iexplorer.exe from the Universal to the PC so that I can try a binary string search on it, but trying to make a copy of iexplorer.exe anywhere produces an error. Does anybody know how to get around this?

FYI, the reason why I intend to probe into iexplore.exe is because of:

hi nvatvani
tweaks2k2net gives you the free choice of changing your user agent as you wish. you can even "disguise" your PIE as Internet Explorer 7 if you like to do that.

Err, only IE 6 actually and it doesn't work on WM6 anyway

I've searched and searched and would love the answer as well.
I tried using Advanced Config but no matter what I put in for User Agent, my Tilt adds info about Windows CE and web sites give me their mobile version (not their desktop version, what I'd really like).
I've tried Registry changes as discussed above and they don't work either.
Somehow, Opera is able to pull this off but I can't use it because of display purposes.
Help, please??

The regisrty Key you are looking for...
Hello,
Was just browsing and read your questions about where to find the registry settings for PIE... The key you guys are looking for is located in the following:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent]
The values are strored in the follwing:
@="Mozilla/4.0"
Compatible="compatible"
Desc="Default (Windows CE)"
Platform="Windows CE"
UA-Language="JavaScript"
Version="MSIE 6.0"
Just change the value for "Platform" to the following and it should work:
"Windows NT 5.1"
I hope that helps,

Hi Jwrightmcps,
First of all congratulations are in order for being one of the best ROM builders ever!
The free software from ANB Software called Web Viewer (28 kb) not only put the above registry entries into the PPC registry. But it also gives tab browsing too.
Basically, it turns the PIE into Firefox, as Firefox for PPC is dearly missed.

Once again, thank you for all you do for us at this beautiful site!

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, when I went to change this registry value, I found it didn't help.
Based on some prior research, the User Agent seems to be preserved in a browser.dll file. See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305008&highlight=browser.dll+user+agent
Now, I did some comparisons by going to www.useragentstring.com. I found that no matter what registry settings I changed, my Tilt was adding in user agent data to indicate I am on a Windows CE device; I am sure that this is why I keep getting shunted to Mobile versions of web sites.
Here's what I got from PIE:
"HTC-8900/1.2 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IE Mobile 7.6) UP.Link/6.3.1.17.0"
But interestingly, when I use Opera with the setting checked to emulate a desktop machine, I get:
"Mozilla/4.0 (Compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) Opera 8.65 [en]"
Clearly, Opera is able to modify the data that browser.dll is sending out. If only Opera met my needs, I would be golden; unfortunately, it takes forever to load a page, and it throws screen after screen of empty space in the middle of some pages.
I'd love to use PIE enhanced with PIEPlus, but I just have to figure out how to spoof a desktop machine.
Perhaps with this extra background someone will have a suggestion??
Thanks -

Thanks for this suggestion. I tried this software, but it did not work well for me. Some problems I have:
• It is unable to be the "default browser" despite the check box in Prefs. Thus, clicking on a link in an email sends the link to PIE.
• I can't even cut/copy a link and paste it into the address bar - pasting doesn't work.
• Even when I type a link directly, it goes to the mobile version.
I would gladly try another browser if it worked as I need, but so far no luck.

Sorry, me neither

Nice!
I have tried other WM6.1 ROM, but there was problem with EDGE/GPRS radio, it was not connecting to the internet. I hope this one will be working. I will come with comments soon!

Good job! The gprs radio is working good, the connection to the internet is now possible.
The look of this ROM is nice, also it has suitable programs, so I have to say after some time: upgrade it, if you can!

GSM network
How can force GSM network, it only works with 3G, my operator is YOIGO from Spain.
Thank You

T9 polish
If someone need in enclosure dictionary is Polish T9

Just updated my g500 everything went pretty smooth and took only few minutes.. Phone works much much better and faster - that's really fantastic! GPRS, EDGE, BT OBEX and AD2P perform flawless, looks like this rom is really stable, thanks to adilyildiz and emilio666 for posting it here.
One question for those who also updated - do you have 3G network working fine?

thanks a lot, gonna try it!

GPRS % MMS for Yoigo (Spain)
Someone have parameters of configuration for them?

How can be changed between GPRS and 3G from Registry?
I've been using another WM6.1 ROM which let me change this setting from the Control Panel, but this one doesn't seem to have it.
Thanks in advance

It doesn't have Mode change option in Phone Setting and looks like 3G won't work. I spent half day trying to find registry hack but no luck. There is another ROM from Darex (www.myg500.pl) where 3G works and bands can be changed.

lineus: Thanks a lot. Now I'm running Polish version (0.38a I think) and I think it's a bit better that the other one.
Anyway, GPRS and MMS is not possible for me. I'm using Spanish YOIGO. Even Toshiba assistant doesn't send me any configuration now (firmware maybe?)

Could you please give me a direct link to this ROM? I can't read polish!
And please tell me if you know any other ROM's for this mobile (even WM5), I'm trying to make a backup of my original one from Yoigo.
Thanks!

Just bought this Smartphone to replace my beloved Tornado (SP5), and sucessfully updated to WM6.1 with this ROM.
Everything seems to be working perfectly, but I will need some more time to test everything out.
Good work and thanks for sharing!

Ok, after some hours of testing, I only found two problems with this WM6.1 ROM for the Toshiba G500:
-after running the integrated Windows Live Messenger for the first time, and activating the Home Screen tab, I noticed there are icons missing on this tab. Instead of those I'm getting a red cross picture.
-everytime I open a SMS, it appears slightly paged down, hiding the sent date and time information on top. I must press "Up" once to reveal this information.
Overall this seems a great ROM indeed, a must have for all G500 owners!

can someone tell me where i can find the password? my polish is ... not good

If problem exist only in one site so my guess is this site using some special font or something.
You can try browsing this site through opera or opera mini or maybe other browser..

[TWEAK] Vodafone Live! on WM6.5

I previously made a cab to enable Vodafone Live! access on WM6 and WM6.1, but now WM6.5 has come along...
For websites such as Vodafone Live! and Planet 3 you have to be using an "authorised" phone before they will let you view their site. This cab will make Pocket IE identify itself as a Nokia N95 browser - and as that's an authorised phone, you'll be able to see the full content. I've tested this with Vodafone Live! in the UK and it works perfectly.
Please note that for Vodafone Live, you have to be connected to the internet by Vodafone's "WAP" connection rather than the more usual "Internet" connection. For "Mobile TV" you also need to make sure that your streaming media player connects via WAP settings. Notes on how to set up a WAP connection are below in case you don't have one set up already. Not sure if Planet 3 has a similar requirement, but please feel free to comment.
Enjoy!

-Go to "Start", "Settings", "Connections" then click on the "Connections" icon.
-Go to the "Advanced" tab and just below the first drop-down box, click "New..."
-Name your new settings (I called them "Vodafone WAP") and click on the "Modem" tab
-Click on the "New..." button and name your connection ("Vodafone WAP" again), then choose "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)" from the drop-down box, then click "Next"
-Enter: wap.vodafone.co.uk as the Access Point Name and click "Next"
-User Name is: wap Password is: wap Leave "Domain" blank and click "Finish"
-Go to the "Proxy settings" tab and tick the boxes which say "This network connects to the Internet" and "This network uses a proxy server"
-Tap "Advanced", then Tap on "HTTP" and enter 212.183.137.12 in the Server box and "8799" in the Port box.
-Click Ok.

thank you so much!

If anyone knows the 3 settings that would be great

anybody? i didnt think 3 was that bad!

how about vodafone new zealand?? with this do you now have a vodafone live! icon in the programs or have to type in voda live url in the browser?

hi sub69.go on,please do one for 02 iphone sim,or do 02 work differently to 3uk ?

Thank you very much for this tweak. As a Touch Pro user I want to login Vodafone live! because I want to watch TV. I am using Windows Mobile 6.5. Now I can't get acces to the vodafone live portal.
Is this tweak also usefull for Touch Pro users in other country's. For example I live in the Netherlands and I think the settings for the UK will not work for me. Am I right ?
In the Netherlands the settings are:
Accespoint: live.vodafone.com or office.vodafone.nl
Username: vodafone
Password: vodafone
Proxysettings
HTTP Server: 192.168.251.150 Port: 8799
WAP Server: 192.168.251.150 Port: 9201
Will these settings work ?
Thank you very much for your reply.

India

Hi, I'll try to be clear (my English is not good)
I have a Kaiser already unlocked, I'm now on T-mobile (UK) and wanna go to 3 network. When I put the 3 sim, I can use all functions on 3 (skype, msn, planet 3...) ONLY WHEN I AM AROUND THE CITY CENTER (MANCHESTER). When I go Home (Whythenshawe) The level of the signal of the network is very weak and most of the time I cannot be connected on the 3 network. It is not the problem of the area because one friend have a 3 phone and use it at the same area normaly. I asked the operator of 3, they told me that I have to buy a 3 phone.
I tried to install (Identify as N95 (WM6.5).cab), but the problem is still there.
Does anyone knows what to do?

How do you configure it for Vodafoe Australia? I was able to browse to web for 1 day only and then it failed. I read a thread that said remove proxy so I did and it still wont connect. I can access Facebook I think because its free with Voda but I cant access the web, messenger or emails. Does anyone know the settings for Australia?

3 app problems
I have a similar problem most their apps only work when I have a 3g connection, where I live that's pretty unlikely and I think I heard thier GPRS is actually via orange or tmobile

Vodafone Live in India
I am using HTC Touch Viva having Windows Mobile 6.1,
Please help me how to configure Vodafone live in it .. India
