Free calculator with BIG KEYS??

Hey guys,
Does anyone know of a calculator for WM5 that has nice, BIG keys?
Thanks guys!
Dax.

Try gCalc
You can even change the skin

There's also 1-Calc Lite. It was offered as freeware by Microsoft at one time, but I don't see it on their site any longer and it's no longer on Omega One's site, either.
So, I've attached the install file and some screenshots.

Thanks OldSap!!
All the best,
Dax.

Thanks Newbie2!
Those fullsize keys look great to use.
tyvm,
Dax.

1-Calc Lite doesn't installed on my WM6 PPC
I unzipped the installer and I tried to install the 1-Calc Lite.exe on my Hermes. It failed and returned the message that the "CalcLiteOL' is not a valid Pocket PC application. Does this app works for WM6 Professional? It's a shame if it doesn't. The app is very useful and usable.

My mistake
Oops. Silly me. Found out how to install the app after all. That it needs to installed from a PC.

I'm running it on my 8125 with one of the WM6 TouchFlo ROMs. It's installed to my storage card and works without missing a beat. Even when I feel the urge to feed my flashing addiction, I never have to worry about reinstalling it. . . . probably the most useful calculator/conversion app I've run across.

Thanks very much. You were right. I missed that.

Thanks its a really good calc

I use CALC98 .

What I like it's the way we can configure almost everything :
-How many row options, the button size , font size..
I used since I had my old IPAQ 6515 and it's working very well on My Omnia II (WinMo 6.5)

Audio manager help
Thank you I am going to try that now should I uninstall the previous version first?

Audion Manager help
I got audio manager off of freewareppc.net. I remove the old files and then added the ones you so kindly supplied for me and the end result is the same I have the audio manager in the program folder but it will not play media it just allows me to create a playlist and assisgn as ringtones. Please help the iphone interface of the audio manager would greatly increase the productivity of this great device for me.

Audio Manager help
Thank you so much. After a soft reset it works perfect and I was elated.

is there a audio manager version out that doesn't have this bug that it sorts the tracks alphabetically and not by track number?
i tried this one HTC_Audio_Manager_v1.02.919713.zip but it still has the bug.

So my audiomanager looks like the attached. I am using HTC Audio ManagerV1.02.919.713.cab. I have tried different versions but it says it is "unsigned" and won't open it. Any ideas?

duttythroy HTC Audio Manager 1_2_816716.cab search for this version, it doesnt have that bug I found it in the kaiser forum some time ago, duttythroy has a cab collection online somewhere, it should be in there.
However, as it installs into program files, if you set HTC Home Customiser to use audiomanager you will not be able to launch Audio manager from home. Theres no doubt a way around this, but i cant be bothered trying to sort it out at the moment.

duttythroy cab collection online:
http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/

All the cabs I found in XDA-Devs and other places were older builds of HTC Audio Manager too (Even in Dutty's cab collection).
I butchered one up myself - basically I just took all the audiomanager files from a dump of Dutty's No.6 ROM and packaged them into a .cab file. You're welcome to try it out...
No more alphabetical nonsense, files are sorted by track numbers. As it's set to install to "\Windows" it should work if you want to use the HTC Home tab to open it.
Edit: Let me know if this works ok - I've checked it and it's working fine for me, and it is indeed the version I ripped out of Dutty's No. 6 ROM.

Will I need to do any hardspl before installing HTC Audio Manager, cause I really don't want to risk my warranty?

No. Just install the cab and it'll appear in the programs folder like any other application.
If you don't like it, then you can uninstall it through "Remove Programs". No harm done!

Okay thanks alot
There are also other apps like a picture viewer program who has iphone interface (sorry can't remember the name) and HTC Touch Cube are these also just installations, without any flashing?
Sorry for the questions, it's just difficcult to find out which apps needs flashing and which don't.
PS. has read through the wiki, but there are no thumb rule about which apps needs flash and which don't.
Can I just install the cabs in this link without flashing, because that would be great:

Yes it is only software you install, without any flashing.

Pretty much all of the applications are available as cabs. Of course, many of them are already cooked into ROMs anyway.
The exception to this is the Touch Cube, which doesn't work very well unless it's been cooked into a ROM.
If you're not too bothered about the Cube, then the only real reason to flash new ROMs is for newer builds and potentially improved speed/stability.
For applications and plugins, you'll be able to get 99% of them as cab installers.
Oh, and yes - all the cabs at that link can just be installed with no flashing needed. You never need to flash your device to install a cab. (The audio manager that you will find in duttys collection is an older version than the one in post #11 though).

Cool. Thanks alot both of you for the answers. I will have to try HTC Audio Manager, and will start with yours at top of this page

Can we sticky this somewhere important? This worked great on my Wing and I'm asuming alot of other people are looking for this fix on a multitude of devices?

Thanks, I thought no one else noticed that. I posted something about this a month ago, but no one answered.
I just wish that they released a version with an equalizer or something.

Is there a fix to let the Audio Manager "see" all of the albums that are actually on the phone? I have probably 6 or 7 albums but Audio Manager only sees 3 of them.
update: once i deleted the old version of htc manager and then installed the new version... all was well. the new version was able to see all of my music directories and in the correct numerical order.

Will 'Touch Settings' Program from Elf work for Polaris?

Is the 'Touch Settings' program a posible alternative for changing which programs are called up by the Videos and the Music button within the cube or is it specific to the Elf?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
I'd really like to use CorePlayer for Videos, etc.
Thanks in advance for the help.

yea im pretty sure it'll work. dont have a device though to make sure

Nope, I tried it (all versions) and it won't even install - I get the "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" error message. Maybe someone will modify this app for the polaris - it seems like it would be useful since HHC doesn't customize the cube and this does.

** Bump **

I'm another Polaris user (well, it's on pre-order at the moment). This 'Touch Settings' program sounds like exactly what I was hoping to be able to use.
Is there any chance the program can be adapted to work on the Polaris? Can anyone hazard a guess from psargent's "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" when installing error message as to what the problem might be since I realise that it isn't reasonable to expect people like the author of this program to have every device at their disposal but if possible fixes can be suggested then maybe it can be fixed "blind"? I for one would be more than happy to validate any possible fixed version on a real device.

Mine is on pre-order as well, and I would love to see this....
PoorlyDuck has some inspiring skins, and then there is this post, on a different site, that changes the cube to six sided.

I have posted a few different times to Carlos in the "Elf" forum regarding this topic. Unfortunately he has not responded. It would be nice to use this program versus making the neccessary adjustments to the registry manually. Just a note that permissions error I also received when trying to load to my Touch.

*Bump*
This would be great on the TC. I have found a few registry settings that look easy to change (for the 6 icon side), but a complete program would be better. It would be nice to have the media hub customized as well.

Hi all,
I´ve got a German Orbit 2 aka TC and as far as I can see it doesen´t work. After installing all necessary files manually (due to rights-limitations) I can start the programm, but it doesen´t recognize my MediaMinihub. I can change the Phoo/Video/Music cube-side, but that´s it.
Maybe its because I got a German ROM...?
sorry for that.

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.
The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Steps to take to try and cure this problem are:
1. The device may be app locked, you need to download a program called Device Security Manager, then with your Polaris connected to Activesync, disable all the security:
Look at this web page for more info.
2. Also, try installing the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)
3. Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.
Please can somebody try all the above with the NEW VERSION 2.22 OF TOUCH SETTINGS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&goto=newpost)
If it doesn't work, I will upload a ZIP file of the individual files and we can try a manual installation.
Best

PS: I don't know an awful lot about security certs and device provisioning, so if any other developers can point me to a way of making the CAB install on the Polaris, please do.

The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Things to check first:
- Is the device app locked in some way: are the security certificates restrictive?
Look at THIS WEB PAGE: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/05/30/all-about-application-locked.aspx
...download the Device Security Manager, dock your Polaris and disable all the security.

Excellent Carlos....I was hoping you would take a look at this program for the Polaris!!

Thx
Hi carlos,
thx for your quick reply. It works like a charm now. I need now some "stylish" icons for my selected apps, but thats another problem.
Thx anyway for your great application.

well, on mine it really did not turn out that well....
The cube does not turn any more

Please HELP!!!

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you hard reset your device, your cube should revert to normal. If you are unwilling to hard reset your device, then if somebody could post a registry dump from a Polaris (clean, hard reset device) then I can post a fix CAB for you!

It works
Thanks Carlos, the 2.22pre version works very nice on my Couise.
I have only question:
If I try to change APLauncher layout I get a mesage "It seems that your HTC Touch Software is not recent....", but I can change the apps grid. What the message exactly means? There is any newer HTC Touch Cube version than what is on Cruise installed?
Tnx

It sounds like you need the MP3 Trimmer program. There is a post in this section that has the cab file for it. Try searching for "MP3 trimmer"...

ok thx
this stupid little thing get me crazy ^^ i was searching this functionality for 2 days ^^

mmh seems there is a problem
i've took the cab, installed it
but when i press the icon on the programs tab, nothing happens. the screen go blanck for a second and then i'm back on the program tab
edit: tried the QvGA version found on a topic in diamond section
work fine but since its qvga it's not usable
the vga version i've found in the raphael forum don't work

tried 3 other cabs in the xda forums and none working on my touch pro
is it beacause it's in french?
if yes, does anybody got a cab working on the french touch pro ?

What ROM do you use? Some cooked ROM or the original stock ROM?

the original french (orange) rom
i'll flash the rom in some month when i'll get ride off the original rom ^^

In this case I think you probably already have the MP3Trimmer installed. As far as I know it comes pre-installed on all stock ROMs.

i was thiking this too
but i can't find it in the program list

You might need the latest version of .NET CF. You can download it here: http://www.4shared.com/file/37978142/c1e9d030/Microsoft_NET_CF_35.html

already installed.
i think i'll hard reset my phone
i've installed lot of application to test, perhaps one of them brick the mp3 trimmer?
i've found a mp3 trimmer .exe in the windows folder, does not work neither.
btw i've found some program in the window folder that are not in the program list
(such as taskmanager)

Maybe just the shortcut is gone. please check if you have a file called "MP3Trimmer.exe" in your windows folder to make sure.
HTH

yes i have it but it had the same bug
when i try to lauch it, i can see "mp3 trimmer" on the top on the screen and then it shut off

That sounds bad. Probably some DLL file is missing or something. I'm sorry but I'm out of ideas (except for a hard reset at least).

ok time to hard reset!
i'll post the result in 10 minuts! (time to reinstall all application GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)

after the hard reset no more mp3 trimmer.exe in the windows folder
seem that in the orange stock rom this application is not installed and when you install it you can't run it
very strange coz the QVGA version work fine

I wish you luck, hopefully it's worth it! If not you should consider a ROM change. I would suggest ROMeOS v1.40 - it's also available in french.

yep i'll change the rom perhaps
but before i have to dump my rom in case of i brick the phone
but not enough time to flash it now ^^
i think i'll flash it in few days ^^ +

SNN 3.0 Lite: No system tray

Hello,
I recently flashed my XDA mini s with the SNN 3.0 Lite software. However, a feature that I found useful in Windows Mobile 5.0, the system tray at the bottom of the Today screen, is not here, and I want it back. Unlike what I've seen whilst trying to google for an answer to my problem (many people want rid of it), I find it incredibly useful.
Thanks in advance.

Goto \Windows and find a file Init_Tray.lnk or Init_Tray.exe, Run it to get back tht Tray at the bottom and if u want it to run everytime try copying it to \Windows\Startup if it is the .lnk file else Copy the .exe and goto Startup folder and chose the Paste Shortcut option from Menu>Edit
Please do check the link "XDA2'S Custom Roms" in my Signatue maybe you like some ROM of mine. THNX

Thank you, this has worked perfectly! I will take a look at your ROMs too, since I'm getting another Wizard soon, hopefully.
