Hi All,
My friend has just bought a Wizard and I noticed that it has a nice little device lock application on the home screen. Does anyone know where I can get this little app
for my XDA II running WM 2003 SE?
Cheers,
Richard.
Is it possible to rip this app from the WM 2005 Wizard ROM somehow?
I checked one of the EXT_ROM images I found but couldn't see anything obvious
in there. Could it be built into the main ROM perhaps?
cheers,
Richard.
We tried before to find the file responsible for this utility, so we could be able to bind it to a hardbutton and take it off the todayscreen, but no luck. No-one knows what file is responsible for this app. sorry guys.
the registry points to "shutil.dll" - I suppose this is a fairly generic shell utilities DLL, but as there is no further 'entry point' data in the registry, just hooking that up as a Today item should automatically provide the required data ? Unless it polls an additional DLL, of course, but a resource explorer check of that DLL (if you can copy it) should be able to point any of that out?
Just starting to cook my own ROM with the kitchen from Alex.
I was wondering if there are any other tools available to do the cooking?
I also started to create my own packages which works well but I have already run into some issues, so please help. ;-)
I have created a package to auto-configure the today theme, unfortunately the reg key that I am setting in my package does not stick!
The key that I am configuring is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Skin"="\\windows\\Htc.tsk"
After flashing, it changes to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Skin"="Htc.tsk"
So the \\windows\\ part has gone missing... Any ideas?
I was also wondering how I can update the ROM version so that I can keep track of some versioning?
One more item, how can I change the screens of the config wizard (after flashing), like align screen, set date/time, etc...
Also how can I change the default date/time displayed as it is always pointing to a date in 2007?
TIA for any help offered! I have searched alot but could not find anything related to this.
Excuse met to if this has already been asked im really not sure what to search for though. All the information i have found on the forum and in the wiki doesn't really answer my question.
So i started cooking roms a few hours ago becuase i want a lighter rom than i can find on the site and also just to educate myself. Anyways i finally got one working with all the hardware and cabs i want. But i would like to know how you do things like set up custom start menu items with icons, themes, sounds, and connection setting like i see in other peoples roms. I was under the impression you would be able to dump all of the os files from the nb and then put it all back togather. All the tools in the kitchen just seem to create images or binary files. Is there something im missing? Is this just all done with custom registry settings, if so is there a good thread somewhere about doing customizations via the registry? I was really hoping to rip IE and windows media player out of CE i guess there is no way to do that if you cant extract all the files from the os....
Also one more thing what are these packages Registry__Increase FileSystem filter cache 0x8000 in alex oem 5.1? I really wish there were some kind of descriptions with each package.
thanks you in advance.

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...
I hate fruit!

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.

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
PLZ coul you help me?!?!?
MOD EDIT: Give mortscript a try, grab a copy here
I am brand new to all this but am trying hard to learn as much as I can as quick as I can. I recently purchased a HTC Fuze because the guy told me it would be the last phone I would ever need to buy. Since I got the phone home I have been trying figure out all the programs and apps. I was recomended to this site as a way to improve the functionality of my phone but have had a hard time understanding what exactly is being discussed. I have never read so much and still felt so helpless. If there is anyone who is patient enough and willing to take the time to help me I would greatly appriciate it! If not here could someone recomend where I could find help. Thank you!

Hi There
I have spent a few days researching and searching the net but I still haven't been able to find a solid answer to how you can create a hard reset resilient piece of software that is user installable rather than having to manually tweak extended roms etc.
I have a piece of inhouse software that is hard reset resilient on CE 4.2/5.0 devices but I need to port the application to some new WM5 & 6 devices and I am currently testing a few different models. I have looked at the excellent work in the Extended_Rom discussions on this forum and tweaking the config.txt and unlocking and adding my cab would be perfect for me apart from I need to do something that will do all of this on a simple user install. The user will install the cabs, the device will need to burn the app into the Extended Rom so that if the device is subsequently hard reset the software is still running.
I understand that I will have to write a different cab for different handsets (For slightly different reg settings), thats not a problem and using c# I am able to do most of this in a cab, but the questions I have are below:
1. Is extended_Rom a WM5 thing only or is it a device dependant thing? What do I do when there is no Extended_Rom, like with the Kaiser/TytnII? and is it a reliable method of doing this!?
2. Are the last 2 lines in the config.txt always the same (LOCKisabled
RST: Reset), so that I could reliably insert some extra CAB: lines ahead of them?
2. Is creating a RAMDisk a better option and is this something that would offer a more generic solution to me across all devices?
3. Is there a proper industry standard/MSDN way of doing this!?
There are pieces of software out there that are doing this like B2M mProdigy's device management client so it must be able to be done.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
Regards
DaveK17
Any ideas....anyone?
I'm begining to think that this is not possible in the Consumer world of WM. I guess i'm too used to the rugged market where the manufacturers provide this kind of resilience themselves.
Would this be the right line of thinking?
Any help is appreciated
DaveK17
The extended rom is for some of the older phones made before the HTC Touch series and the TYTN II. It is uses across all Windows Mobile versions since the phones need it.
I think I can help you with the config.txt part as well. The last two lines are always there and yes you can put in the relevant lines above them which would be:
Code:
CAB: \Windows\path\to\your\cab
So provided you can make the cab file apart of the ROM then you should be good to go.
As for the RamDisk, I would recommend against it unless you'll be including the relevant software into you cab file. Window Mobile doesn't come with one by default.
I haven't looked into the msdn for this aside from Windows CE 6 so I can't help you there. But I hope my answer help you...
