Hi all, i have a HTC Touch Cruise and have problems with the cube. The problem is that it is no cube. When i activate the TouchFLO-interface with the Sweeping from bottom to top-procedure it just fades down the today-screen to black and then displays one of the sides of the "Cube". If i sweep from side to side, it just fades out the current page and fades in the new page, there is no actual cube animation. I installed some software called TFLOSettings (Touch Settings), and according to that program i do have the 3D Cube animation activated -- Still, in TouchFLO i get no cube, only fade effects. :disappointed: :broken: :makingevilplotstopunishtheworld:
Anyone have any ideas how i can get the 3D cube effect to work with TouchFLO?
Additional information that perhaps might be usefull knowledge in this matter is that, when i received the device TouchFLO was actually deactivated and i had to activate it in the registry under "HKEY_Local_Machine/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/EnableCube" (that key was 0 when i recieved the device).
(also, i do hope that i posted in the right place now)
Did you ever hard reset your device since you received it?
All your data is lost when you do that but it is the faster way to know if the ROM installed have the cube working.

Hi Kukatrap, many thanks for the reply. Unfortunately i cannot do hard reset since the device have been issued as special aid by the County Councils (Landsting) to help me to overcome difficulties with my memory. They have special software for this, and i fear this software will be lost if i do a hard reset. And in case the device will be restored with their special aid programs intact and installed, the device will be in the same state as when i received it, and then TouchFLO was totally deactivated.
Perhaps i have to install some animations or something to get the 3D to work.
Oh! I understand.
Well... not exactly what you are looking for but you can try installing this cube http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358102.
Looks like this cube is better than the default one, at least is easier to configure.
Regards.

Seems that you you have the Swedish rom as you refer to the Landsting. I have the same problem with my swedish TC and can't get the animation to work with 3x4 grid athough it works fine with standard config. I have made hard reset but that's no change. I belive it is a rom issue and the development ot the program is ceased so no patch is expected.
Plse inform if you think the other cube program is worth testing.
Good Luck

Hi andbertina, yes, i do indeed have a swedish device. Further more, i begin to suspect that the company (GEWA) that delivers the device to the Landstinget deliberately has crippled the Operating System in a couple of ways. I think they have done this to avoid TouchFLO to accidentally start up causing confusion and so on, because the main target groups to receive this device from Landstinget are mentally challenged people, people with various cogitative difficulties, people with dementia, people that recovers from stroke or people with various types of autism-related difficulties.

This seems like reasonable move, even if it might not look correct.
TouchFLO/Cube is nice and usefull, as long as person is completely aware of it's abilities.
If person has lover than average technical skills, TouchFLO/Cube can be very confusing. Not to mention if there is also some mental problem.
But, on the other hand, I don't see any sense why Landstinget choosed Polaris? Or any device with TouchFLO/Cube.
For targeted users they should have chosen as simple as possible devices...
Seems to me that, you need to keep you device in tact w/o doing any accidental hard resets... If that's the case, I wouldn't tinker with it at all! I especially wouldn't install 3rd party cubes or 3rd party config software. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to hard reset my phone due to software not optimised properly for my phone. I try to stick with manual registry edits when I want something done.
But if you insist on experimenting to get the TouchFlo Cube to work, I strongly suggest installing Sprite Backup, and backing up your device before proceeding any further.

It is in reality not The Landstinget that has chosen the HTC, but rather the company that customizes them, develop the special aids program and delivers them to The Landstinget, and i guess they choose it because it has most things like phone, radio, camera, GPS and so on. A while ago they had HP iPAQ RW6815 as hardware platform, but since that model is no longer in stock they choosed HTC Touch Cruise as replacement. They also have PDAs (without camera and phone) from HP, those PDAs preceded the more advanced models, and they are all Windows Mobile based, so it was natural to continue the development on Windows Mobile phones i guess (more job to write the special aids software from scratch on a new platform).
And i'm not going to complain, i really like it, i love the practically "limitless" possibilities of Windows Mobile, and since it's subscribed to me to aid me with my memory problems, the calendar in Windows mobile suits me better than anything in the special aids program, so i do not use the special aids program at all.

I found some information about this matter yesterday, and apparently the special software will be reinstalled as on delivery by a hard reset, the manuals for the software mentions this procedure as a possible remedy if the device starts to act up really bad. So i feel a bit more brave to experiment now.

HTC Touch Pro
anyone have new programs for the HTC Touch Pro with windows 6.1 operating system... I am tired of those Fruity phones having neat programs and I don't...

Hello!
I have got the Xda Diamond (~HTC Diamond from o2 Germany) with Windows mobile 6.1
I´m studying at the Technological University of Berlin. To log on the local area network (eduroam) of the university, I need a VPN client. But there is no version working with WM6.1, I tried about three different clients (it always says, that ... is no win32-application)
For example that one (as recommended by the network administration of the TU Berlin):
http://www.tubit.tu-berlin.de/filea.../Windows_Mobile/SecureW2_EAP_Suite_112_CE.zip
Does anybody which client I should take?
Thank You for answering and greetings from Germany
Network storage application
I would like to have an application that could convert my micro-sd card into a network storage, being able to access this folder through my home lan. It would be similar to WM5torage but for WiFi (not usb).
Please note that I'm NOT asking for a way to access a network folder in my PDA (the usual reply I get). I already know how to do this with total commander. What I want is a way to create a shared folder inside Windos Mobile, that I can access from my computer through my home network.
TIA.
Visual Voicemail
I think that Visual Voicemail is a place where Windows Mobile is lacking compared to the iPhone.
It would function by receiving emails with mp3/wav attachments from online voicemail services such as Youmail. It would cypher the information from the email and provide information for that voicemail.
There is a discussion on the topic right now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
A developer has started toying with it but NEEDS help!
Thanks everyone!
Hi
Im using Imate Jam (Magician).
I want a software which turns my ppc into an answering machine i-e it can automatically reply/block sms and accept/reject/hang/answer calls based on predetermined rules. The software should also have the capablity of scheduling text messages and then sending them out smoothly.
Ill be extremely grateful if you help me out and provide such software.
If such software already exists please pardon me and tell me where to get it.

MOD EDIT 2: User is looking for something that supports wm 2003
i think my request would be somewhat easy to accomplish, but as im not so technically inclined (and somewhat too lazy to really try), ill ask here....
....what im looking for is a way to have area code matching on my Kaiser, or on Windows Mobile phones in general.....what i mean is like, when i receive or place a call, once the number is dialed, it shows the state corresponding to the area code i've dialed.....i know my old Samsung A920 did this, along with some other Samsung and Sanyo phones, and i think it would be great for WinMo....
Yet another think XDA's lack is a Myspace app. Maybe we can get something rolling like this facebook app that is being created???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455263
Please back me up if you would like to see an app like this.
A "visual voicemail" app for diamond and other ppc phones that can record phone calls
as some of you may already know the diamond can record both sides of a conversation during a phone call using the notes application.
I read in another forum where someone was asking about visual voicemail and since sprint charges for forwarding calls there is no good option.
I was thinking maybe if there was a developer willing to give it a go to develop a "visual voicemail" application that would answer the phone after a user defined amount of rings,
Record the message while muting the phone's mic of course that way you don't get background noise from your own phone and then save it in mp3 or wav.
Then have it give you the phone number the time, date and the option to listen to the message either with a built-in player or with windows media.
To give you a visual of what i'm talking about if you've seen the visual voicemail app on the samsung instinct something like that but everything is done on the phone side.
Hopefully someone will agree that this would be a useful program and give it a shot.
Attention Required to upgrade my fone !!!
Hi All,
I juss found the update with HD elements in the forum which seems to have a good impact.
Let me start of with my problem. i'm using HTC Touch(might be ELF) and i keep visiting xda forums for new apps., for my fone. I installed Manila 2D earlier which made the fone very very very slow. I'm giving you my details of the fone below.
Rom Version : 2.20.720.2B WWE
Rom Date : 10/02/07
Radio Version : 03.07.90
Protocol Version : 4.1.13.51
ExtRom Version : 2.20.720.103
RAM Version : 128MB
Flash Size : 256MB
Storage Size : 144.23MB
Model No : ELF0100
My Fone is working on WM 6.0
Now what is require is i would like to have to install WM6.1 on my fone with the new Touch VIVA Interface. Is this possible ? if so please cud some one assist me how to install for the same. As earlier i written Manila 2D made the fone completely slower. So i would like to upgrade my ROM (what ever) as i not much aware of this installations or upgrades.
Please some one assist me with the same for the complete new look like TOUCH VIVA fone for my existing TOUCH.
I would pretty happy and thankful who can assist me for this entire process.

Jeyo Mobile Companion alternative and HTC Phone pad Upgrade
Well my request wouldnt be new anymore but i still want to pursue it if ever a developer would make it,
a jeyo mobiler software like, that can manage your text messages from the pc, send, recieve and read text messages from the pc and lastly a decent back up process that could backup even if ur message is over 160 characters (1 message line) jeyo has a screw up on the back up process coz, it shortens a text message fixed to 160, so if your text message is 165, if jeyo is to back it up it will only store a 160 char message back up. you lost the data. I need to back up morethan 5000 messages and most of which are over 160 character.
another request would be a newer version for HTC phone pad input..
this input application ROCKS! its like using a cellphone keypad over your pocket pc. so texting wouldnt be so much of a problem if your walking or something. the modification i would like to ask is character deletion from 2 character to one and higher WM version compatibility, as I tried it before, phone pad had issues with WM6.1.
alarm sound on vibrate/silent?
in some ROM's there is an option under "more" in clock & alarms that allows you to enable the alarm sounding when on silent or vibrate. does anyone know of a CAB that you can install that will add this feature without downloading the whole ROM'?
VGA Backgrounds
Looking for a VGA background using orange & blue and/or the Florida Gators, University of Florida, UF, Gators... you get the idea. If not familiar with what shades of orange & blue... see examples of the latter.
I use TF3D, so I'm not looking for full out themes- no TSK files please.
Is there an application to delete a file && is there an application to run commands like dos batch??? my target is to make an installing cab that on the next startup start an application and then delete the file started or the link to the started application

MOD EDIT: Go Here for a tutorial on installing programs to your ppc.
Hiya's, I found this site while looking up info on the HTC cruise as I have just received a hand-me-down Cruise from a friend (had a very old nokia..). This is a major upgrade for me (it has a 2 camera's unlike my nokia which has none). I am keen to get the most use from the phone as possible and at the moment it seems to be going ok but having read a couple of the forum messages it seems that there are various upgrades that can make it a better phone.
I have been accused of being a semi-ludite when it comes to using technology so would appreciate any advice on what can be upgraded as far as the operating system and other programs are concerned. I have used the CoPilot program this morning and think is is the greatest thing since individually sliced and packaged cheese..
The settings on the phone indicate it is ROM 1.26.710.1 WWE (date 12/17/2007), Radio Version 1.58.21.23 and Protocol Version 25.65.30.04H.
If any advice is forthcoming, please keep things as simple as possible or I will have to get one of my neighbors kids to come over and explain..
Cheers
Ian
Welcome to the wonderful world of a touchscreen windows mobile device.
Of course there are a lot of things you can improve, thousands of programs are waiting to be installed and so on.
IMHO the most important thing is: If you are satisfied with your current system DO NOT change it. If everything is running smooth there is no need to flash a new operating system or radio. If you notice slowdowns during using the device or if the radio in your area is not running perfect you should flash the latest upgrade from HTC. They are offering WM 6.1 (WM = windows mobile, the operating system) and a new radio. Its very easy to flash but you will loose all your data on the device.
If you don't like your today screen, you can check some replacements, Mobile Shell is one of it:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell
And if you like this shell you can change its look with upgrades like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3904948&postcount=2513
Of course you can flash one of the Roms created by one of the devs. You will find an overview here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521961
But you should be aware that many of these roms are using stuff from other devices like Manilla, this might cause problems. And you have to be very careful if flash a self created rom, its not that easy like flashing an original HTC rom.
Last but not least you have to think about the way you want to use your device. If you just need a phone you need nothing else. If you want to read ebooks like wikipedia you need a reader and so on. Here you can find tons of programs for your device:
http://www.handango.com/homepage/Homepage.jsp?storeId=2218
You will also find a lot of freeware apps here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/
And a very important thing is: Backup your device often if you are trying different applications, you are having a windows device
For a list of recommended software check my signature.
All are freeware except iGO, and easily found on this forums (or links from here lead to authors pages).
And welcome to Polaris owners club...
Thanks very much for the replies..
It seems to be going ok at the moment. I am not too sure whether it is slow or not (nothing to compare..) but opening an application only takes a couple of seconds so I am happy with that. I have been using it primarily as a phone (of course) but have been using the camera like mad. I even made one of my friends give me a video call..very cool...I have tried to use the voice commander application but it doesn't seem to want to do anything and eventually just says "Goodbye" and closes. I am going to look at the list of applications at some of the website that are list above and see what is available.
Cheers and thanks again..

I read from this article:http://www.macrumors.com/2009/07/31/apple-to-release-fix-for-iphone-sms-vulnerability-on-saturday/
It says the vulnerability impacts our WM phone as well. Anyone has checked that and if fix is available? Tried using Google to search our beloved forum but didn't pop up anything yet ..
I read about this too and if it can be patched that quickly on Android then I'd hope it should also be a quick patch on WinMo, especially as the SMS functionality is implemented in pretty much the same way apparently.
Plus XDA has people who are working with Android so maybe they can share what changes Google have made?
I am fairly surprised this hasn't been picked up by the technical bods here as it is quite a major vulnerability and Apple and Google have patched their OS's so WinMo is trailing behind... unless someone knows of a patch thats already been done?
I'm going to PM some mods I know ..
Any response from them yet?
Our good Dave is going to check with some resident expert.. and hopefully some lights to be shed.
From the info I gathered, it actually result in DOS for iPhone and Android, but no news/confirmation on WM yet. So we don't know. However, given the method explored by the author, it's likely at minimum resulting the same (DOS, phone hung, etc.). I think, for phone user, this is critical, as you can't spend your day checking the phone always just to make sure it's still connecting to network/operators.
From what I read the vulnerability could allow for remote code execution including reading your phone's storage and activating cameras and gps. So someone could write an app that send this information back via the data connection and that person could be watched and tracked without knowing that there were compromised.
This is obviously worst case scenario but I for one would sit on the paranoia side of the fence and get it plugged. If we can.
From what I got and discussion, it's mostly DOS.
However, IMO, it still scary. You can't be contacted nor SMS-ed without you realizing until you need to initiate call/ connection.
For someone most of the time on receiving side (doctors, etc) it's really a danger. I do hope our resident expert can find out something, as I don't think MS will be doing it.
You may want to read this article where they interview one of the guys that found the vuln...

Charlie: Collin's framework also works on Android and WinMobile. We found some denial of service bugs in Android (which we reported and are fixed) and a pretty bad bug in the way HTC WinMobile phones handle SMS messages containing the format specifier %n. That's a fun one because you don't need any special tools to send the malicious message, just use your phone to text your buddy with %n and their TouchFlo (application manager) will crash and won't come back up.

I believe the current HTC handsets come with WM6.1 now as standard, either HTC or Operator flavoured. As this is a forum for all HTC devices on WM5.0/6.0/6.1/6.5 can we have some testing done on stock ROM's on stock devices please?
I'm going to send a %n text to my buddy's phone and see.
At least now the thread is getting some attention. My concern is for people (like me) that rely more on receiving call/SMS than making call/sending SMS. A crashed network connection will result in no phone at all.
How'd the testing go and any movement on patching?
Just sent myself a %n message but nothing happened. On TPC v10.9 on M2D (Mega's M2D)
My friend is now using custom ROM .. so no try there. I don't have OEM that has M2D ..
What about just trying it on a bog standard WM6.1 OEM ROM from an operator.
Can do .. later perhaps when I'm changing ROM again. I thought it only crashes M2D? No OEM for Kaiser has M2D ..
Reviving this thread because iPhone is vulnerable. Not sure if IE also on our Kaiser? Opera?

A while back I found a link to a mediafire archive with something like 50 CAB's in it, for Windows Mobile 6.x. Does anyone know where that archive is?
It used to be bookmarked on my computer, but I accidently deleted it, so it's now gone.
I imagine that some of those CAB's are probably somewhere else on the interwebs as well, but I have been searching all day to no avail.
Also, FreewarePocketPC still has lot's of stuff available for WM devices, but a lot of it is intermixed with crap for Android(most of the Android **** that's clogging the site is just virus anyways), and Windows Phone 7, and some of the links are dead.
P.S. I have an archive of CAB's as well, I will be sharing soon, most of the CAB's I have are still available elsewhere on the interwebs, but with WM6.x getting older by the day, and so many things linkrotting as we type, it won't be long before the ever-diminishing set of workable programs reaches zero, and our beloved WinCE/WM6.x based devices are dead forever. So the more mirrored archives there are, the better.
NOTE: IF anyone wants an app, PM me, do not clog the forums with requests. NO, I do not have warez and paid software, I do not have any way to make your paid software work without paying, DO NOT ask for warez, if you do, your PM will be copied to this thread for everyone to see and laugh at.

1.) Opera Mini 5 - In download box below. Web browser for WM2003 all the way up to WM6.5.5, still works and because of Opera compression, it renders nicely even over 2G and modern websites are rendered nicely.
2.) UC Browser 7.04 - In download box below. Another web browser for WM5 up to WM6.5.5, still works, built by a Chinese company, not sure if it uses compression, like other browsers for WM, rendering quality is hit or miss depending on the site.
3.) Opera Mobile 10 BETA - In download box below. A newer version of Opera, for WM5 and above, still works, like with Mini 5, it uses Opera compression servers so it browses fast over 2G and modern websites are still nice. AFAIK it supports Flash.
4.) SkyFire - In download box below. Another nice browser. I am not sure if it still works, it uses SkyFire compression servers, supports flash. SkyFire as of 2013 was still available for Android, so it's possible the compression servers are still active. If the servers are not active, then since this AFAIK does not render locally, it's just here for historical completeness.
5.) ZetaKey 2010 - In download box below. This is a browser that is AFAIK still developed for WM6 and up. It supports HTML5 and AFAIK Flash, based on WebKit, so even without compression servers(which this does not use), it should render modern websites okay.
6.) Iris Browser 1.1.9 - In download box below. This browser still works. Uses WebKit, although it is not developed anymore, it does score a 100/100 on Acid3, has a pop-up blocker and supports NPAPI plugins just like Firefox.
7.) ZetaKey 2017 - In download box below. See ZetaKey 2010 entry. This is the newest version of that browser.
8.) TCPMP Finger Friendly. A great media player for WM devices. IMO it's even better than what comes on most Androids even in 2019.

I am not sure if it has new virus definitions, but then again, is there anyone actually creating *new* viruses for WM6.x anyways?
2.) ESET Mobile Antivirus - Link in download box below. This is another popular anti-virus program for WM5 through 6.5.5, although the WM version is no longer developed nor is it still supported, ESET is still around and still makes some of the best anti-virus software for Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android.
3.) FingerKeyboard - Probably one of, if not the best alternative keyboards for WM6/6.5. It is way better than the stock keyboard(although the HTC keyboard is decent).

Dude, don't you think you've been late with this thread for about 10 years?
I know maybe 3 or 4 old-fags here at xda (including me) who still have functional WM6.5 - WEH6.5.3 phones. And we are mostly "chiefs" - we cook our own roms and have all the necessary soft in our roms already.

I am just putting this out here mainly as a way a of preserving these programs for anyone who might care aboit them. Also, so if there might be anyone out there who still happens to have a device that can use these. So, sure, the thread is 10 years out of date, but thats exactly the point.
I'll take that bet...
Well I for one would love to see archives of old WM6.x CABs. I bought the HD2 In the first week it was out, and loved tweeking and fiddling with it until I had to factory reset it and remember where I stored the latest viable backup.
I must have crashes that thing a dozen times or more!
Well I never did get myself together enough to build a kitchen and learn to cook up some ROMs, but I had fun with all of the crazy and cool programs and apps. Cookie monster had an awesome UI Tweeker as I recall.
So yeah, I found the ol' Leo and charged it up! It's working!
I would love some links to CAB archives!
I recently bought some Windows Mobile devices just to play with, so I would also love an archive.
Finally somebody doing this. Thanks.
A bit late, but preservation is always good.
I tried finding games for WinMo, but every single link i came across was dead. (If somebody comments about piracy... WinMo has been discontinuted for, like, what? 10 years?)
If anyone still has any app installed on their WinMo phones, please make a backup and upload it.
I was a Symbian user when WinMo was still used, so i kinda missed on pretty much everything.
And you know what's the weird thing?
You can still find SYS files for Symbian all around the internet, but WinMo apps simply vanished.
So, yeah, if any of y'all have any app, just post it here.

I have a bunch on my HD2, I just dont know how to upload to here. Or anywhere else for that matter. I will look into a file share site. Any help would be appreciated.
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ still operates with most links still working. In most cases it offers a primary link & a mirror link to download the Apps. On the rare occasion both links fail a web search on the App or developer name will usually yield a result. Only very rarely can I not find a WM6.5 CAB, registry hack, etc., that I want. I've been amazed how much is still out there. I've used the HD2 as my sole Phone/PDA for almost 10 years & by trial & error I've got it to be very stable (a screen freeze is now a rare & notable event). I recently added the new 400GB microSD which is so fast I can put most Apps onto SD that formally required Device Memory installation only. I can't speak too highly of this little device. And the screen is much more scratch resistant than my wife's Lumia 950! Cheers

When you tap the reply button and it opens up that new page where you write your text and stuff, scroll down until you see "Manage Attachments", tap on that and a new page will open, from which you could upload your files. :good:

Rolled a 1 on search and found this. It had some good links. Not all function anymore.
Sites that still have some form of .cab files:
Freewarepocketpc.net
mpbus.net
mobile24.co
A good extractor for cabs and thier extension files would be nice.

Chill, it's no problem.
You could upload them to your Google Drive and turn on link sharing for the zip you made from the cabs. (And tap on "Everybody with a link: can view", not "Everybody with a link: can edit")
Then copy the link and post it here.
Also, thanks for those links. Really useful.
Having better achieve of cool apps and games still good for even the htc hd2 would be great for WinMobile 6.5
I attempted to reply with an outline of a project I am starting, and included the links to my dropbox file of HTC HD2 software, however it was auto flagged and i cant find the technical contact form as my browser is not allowing me to scroll through all the options in drop down menus and other pages.
sorry guys! I shall return when I can and try again.
Making a online archive with every possible cab categorized in smart way is one of my dreams since when I started discovering the world of technology and modding through this wonderful OS called Windows Mobile
The websites listed in this page allows you to search on old filesharing websites.
You can still find a lot of apps on
---Emule (servers +KAD especially)
---"windows mobile" and "pocketpc" sections on softonic.com (if I'm not wrong a con is that for each cab you want to download Softonic downloads a windows installer that then downloads the cab)
---install the webarchive extension on your browser and visit every old bookmark you saved in the past with the hope that the webpage was saved on the archive)
If I had the time I'll buy some webspace and I'll archive every WinMo app! XD (I would need less GBs than a single today's laptop hdd)

Well a lot has changed since 2018. I just went to freeware pocket PC and tried 10 different links and none of them worked and none of the developers still had a functioning website.

Actually, just dug out an old HTC Diamond2 that was once used by a relative, I was looking for software and this has actually been pretty helpful, I'm trying to figure out what these old PDA-ish devices still can do, I know that the few that can run Linux are actually pretty well supported to this day, but this one looks pretty much obscure so far, not a miracle, but I did want to play around with it
