Voice Command and Treo 750 Problem

Member of HoFo but came over here to post this to all you techies. Thanks for the help in advance.
I loaded Pocket Mechanic 2.23 and had it do it's registry cleanup and it removed some essential registry entries that now prevent Voice Command (preloaded 1.5) to run. I am getting the 'Voice Command has encountered a problem. Restart Voice Command and try again' endless loop error. I'm not sure if any of you have encountered this problem (yet) so be forwarned I DON'T want to hard reset and reload all my software and I suspect it's a missing key (or keys) in the registry that Pocket Mechanic ripped out (lesson learned...). Does anybody know how to dump the Registry into a .Reg File and upload to this site? I would like re-install the missing reg entries from that file, preferably dumping from a hard reset default state. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using the Treo 750 (Cingular ROM) that just got released.
Thanks again!

i had the same problem with pocket mechanic when i had a tytn - wiped out all the shortcuts, button links etc.
a hard reset will sort out the problem.

Have the same problem. Are you able to dump the registry for us? Really hate to do a hard reset...

couple of noob questions! (sorry)

hi everyone, ok iv succesfully managed to flash my new xda exec with jwrights rom (thankyou very much, im loving it!) what im curious about is, i have a rough idea CAB files are programs, but how do i install them exactly? also, i keep reading about registry tweaks, what are they and how do i do them? and finally, iv been playing with the voice command program, and it doesnt seem to work properly all the time, when i ask it to call someone it just shows me there nuame and number then goes back to today screen, is there another program i could install, or maybe im just doing it wrong!!
thankyou very much

Cab files are just run on your device - just double click threm and they will ask you wether to insyall in memory or storage caqrd, most are fine on the card but anything that runs on startup (eg today plugins) can cause problems if not imstalled on the device.
You need a registry editor to edit the registry, there are a few free ones but I use resco which comes with resco explorer.
For general WM questions head over to Modaco - this forum is for ROM hackers amd ROM related queries and Modaco is for general PPC and SmartPhone user queries.
HTH

ok, i think im getting it a bit now, i was wondering does anybody run wisbar with there crossbow rom? iv tried installing it but it just doesnt look right!!? could anyone be of some help?

(from O2 XDA Zinc) wireless today plugin that shows data status

I came across, on another forum, a today plugin pic.
The poster in fact, was posting the cabs for activating VoIP on Wm6 roms.
Cabs mostly from Xda.
But what impressed me the most, was a capture of his today screen.
He has the regular 'wireless' plugin showing the status and name of the three typical connexions: GSM, Bluetooth and Wifi.
But his plugin was showing also the status of his DATA connexion.
(I guess GPRS, EDGE, HSPDA etc.)
Any one knows where I could find the cab or the registry tweak to add this feature to the basic wireless plugin?
OK I finally got more informations, it's part of a today plugin and commanager from O2 XDA Zinc.
Any one who have access to this phone could help providing the following?
- Which registry values are present on that phone in this area:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
- has any one got the installation cab of that plugin?
It would be great to see the _setup.xml file, maybe the tweak is there
- any one can send me the "netui.dll" in the windows directory of that phone, so I can try to run it see if that helps showing the 'data connexion status'?
Cheers

Well, 64 viewers and still no one knows about it?
1) has any one seen this wireless today plugin before?
2) has any one used it before?
3) does any one know about a registry tweak, a cab or a dll that displays this additional data connexion status?

I have it on my TyTN...sorta.
It looks just like yours with the WiFi and Blutooth, but not the Data part of it.
The registry tweak is documented in the Wiki. That's where I found it

You did not get my point
Thanks for the reply, I thought every one got scared away by the question...
Yes, I already know the registry tweaks and I also got the cab for what I called the regular/typical wireless plugin (operator name, wifi status, bluetooth status).
My point is: how about the DATA status (gprs, edge, 3G)?
Does any one know how to add this fourth information into the wireless plugin?

I updated the first post and the title with new informations
Its all about the O2 XDA Zinc phone
Could some one be kind enough to provide the following informations:
- Which registry values are present on that phone in this area:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\ "Wireless"]
- has any one got the installation cab of that plugin?
It would be great to see the _setup.xml file, maybe the tweak is there
- any one can send me the "netui.dll" in the windows directory of that phone, so I can try to run it see if that helps showing the 'data connexion status'?
Cheers

This is actually a very intersting find. Data indicator is what always turned me away from that plugin. It'd be very interesting to find out more, unfortunatley a lot of Googeling got me nowhere and without the device in possession I feel like I have not much more to offer.
Anyone else?
//Nik

Yeah, I made some more findings, thanks to the guy the screen-shot came from...
The registry keys seem to be quite similiar EXCEPT the fact that this wireless plugin doesn't use netui.dll, it uses a dll called: WirelessManagerToday.dll
I put that dll onto my system and tried to get i working but it didn't.
It did not give me any error, but it just displayed nothing...
So what we need now, it's an installation cab of the O2 Xda Zinc Wireless Manager or something like that, to see if there is another file involved in this process (an .exe file or whatever)
And to know if there are other settings apart that registry link to that particular dll.
Any one using O2 phone can answer?

hi there fancy meeting u here
the thing is o2 zinc comm manager is different from HTC one ... as the attachment below. Also a shot of the dll ... the string value of the dll show a Wireless Manager. Zip file contains the WManager.exe & also the dll
Hope this help

Hi mate.
The world is not that wide, when we use the same nick everywhere!
;-)
I tried to send you a mail with some useful stuffs to unlock your extendedrom, but every mail failed, maybe a problem of anti-spam filter.
I post here below the applications from this site and others. Give it a try...

cheers mate
well i ll try this one ... sad to hear that u cant use the plugin yet ... keep trying mate
BTW o2 zinc is made by Asus ... not sure if a htc unlocker can unlock the ext rom ...

Hope you can unlock your extended ROM and find some useful cab related to the Wireless Manager install.
I don't like to give up, but the fact is I don't know toward which direction make the next move...
When you have time, would you make some automatic search in your registry to make sure there is no other references to those dll and exe or maybe some other components of the whole wireless system. Thanks.
Yeah, I know the manufacturer is different, but It's still the same Windows Mobile system, there might be some bridges between them.
Cheers

i only have the update rom frm o2 only now ... i cant extract the exe file ... it only show error ... maybe you can teach me how to do a rom dump maybe than it can be some help to you

i have tried compiling a cab file with both dll & the registry using wince cab manager ... hope it can work

interesting problem on tilt?

hello everyone, long time member of howardforums and just joined xda and find some very usefull info, thank you all. i ran into a small problem last night. i have a tilt , not flashed but i have installed the htc home screen and everything worked great. last night i tryed to install the touchflo program found in a few places in this forum and it didn't work but thats when the interesting stuff happen....after deleting all touchflo cab files and restarting the tilt every time at startup it gives me a warning " FTouchFlo.exe cannot be open, its either not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can not be found. try reinstalling or restoring file." ????? and now the icon that used to be under the clock for favorite people that would send me their pics so i can just one touch dial is GONE? tryed installing the cab for the htc homescreen again but the same....there is a music short cut that lets me launch the music player that wasn't there before? i downloaded the htc home plugin customisor and even when i set for 6 icons on the bottom of the clock it still just gives me 5?
at the end of the day i would like to have the touchflo program but its not a big deal if i dont, i would however really like to have the pic dialer back on my screen as its really convinient to dial my fav people with it.thanks in advance

Keys are in the registry. To access and change the registry you need a registry viewer/editor. There are many but for simple "everyday" use this is a good one:

Be careful though delete the wrong things and you'll end up needing a hard reset.

PHM downloads as a .MSI windows installer. So it will not install properly unless you have your device connected via active sync when you run the downloaded file. So connect your device via usb cable. Let active sync connect and update. Then while still connected run the installer download. During the process a message will pop up on your device. If a choice is offered it will be ok to install to storage card if you have one.
Cheers for now.
Mike

thanks guys , can anyone tell me how to delete .exe files? i still get warnings at start up that touchflo.exe and bio-something-.exe can not run because some files are missing.....thanks

[Request] Help with converting Voice Command UK cab to OEM

I've been struggling for the past few days to convert my (working) Voice Command UK cab into an OEM. I've taken the OEM for the US Voice Command from Alex's ROM Kitchenfor reference, but I'm having problems. I've tried:
- Replacing the files inside the US OEM with those from the UK cab, and changing the file names in the reg file,
- Making an OEM from the files and registry entries in the cab
- Making an OEM from the files in the cab, and the registry entries that show as changed in a reg dump before and after installation
So far, the best I can manage is for Voice Command to be assignable to a button, but then she doesn't speak! It understands some commands (for example, pressing and saying "Open Windows Media Player" will open WMP, but without her being able to talk the applications 90% useless).
I'm sorry to be asking to take up the time of our experts, but I'm at a serious brick wall and don't know which way to go now. Could anyone suggest where I'm going wrong? I can't seem to attache the working US OEM, the working UK cab, and the non-working UK OEM (keeps saying Upload Failed), so I've stuck them on MegaUpload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=210FSFHW
Thanks for reading, and for any help everyone.

No entries in initflashfiles.dat (for startup, or files to a specific dir)?
Just a taught
I will have a look at your files later.

Thanks for the reply Laurentius.
The initflashes file has the same two entries as the original US OEM version, a link going to the helpfile, and a link to Voicecmd.exe going into the Startup folder. I'm not saying that's NOT where my problem lies (haven't got a clue where it is!) but I've even checked the links through Notepad and they're pointing to the right files.
Should probably say, don't try installing any Voice Command on your ROM, as the VC program doesn't play well with the Vodafone 3.08 ROM. It works fine on the 3.02 ROM, so I'm using a custom version of Slueth's 6.1 ROM at the moment. It works fine with the cab installed, so I don't think the ROM is the reason my OEM's not working.
Thanks again for the reply, any and all help is very greatly appreciated for my little problem.

What I usualy do is....
Install the cab and check the directory's and shortcut directory's!
In your case you have the US cab already, so next one is easy!
I use Registry Workshop to Explore and dump registry entry's on the device!
So if you compare the values with the US one's it should be easy!
I just released my V4 ROM, but I promise I will look into it later
Regards,
Leo

I have a working OEM package for UK VC 1.60.4622.0. There is one annoyance however and that is if you open the Voice Command settings and then hit OK you get two error bleeps and a window titled 'Voice Command' with a red cross and the text 'Cannot save all changes'. Voice Command does work though, however I have only had my Kaiser a few days and I haven't done any extensive testing - I probably need to go for a drive with my Bluetooth Headset and call a few people....
I created this package previously for my HTC Wizard and with WM6 running on that I don't get the same error.
To get this working on the Kaiser all I have done is changed the Key mapping in the .RGU registry file so the top left button (6) activates VC.
If I install the VC UK Cab the error I described does go away.
Andy

Just a quick update. I rebuilt my ROM with VC 1.60.4622.0 US (this is the original OEM package I found that I based my UK OEM one on, I can't quite remember where I got this?) and you get the same results with the two error bleeps and the 'Cannot save all changes' dialogue box.

i'm just quickly looking at it. Theres some missing files like comt3s51.dll, conveng.dbr and some random dlls here and there. Not sure what they do, but missing couple files here and there could be it. i have to get going, but decide to help with that.
