Ive had a request from Leo to make a folder for OEM's so I've created the following:
http://vidmes.com/Uni/Kitchens/OEMs
You can upload from there using the following credentials:
Username: [email protected]
Password: oemupload
Address: ftp.vidmes.com
NB: My server only allows connections WITH USERNAMES, so make sure to use an FTP program
NB: This is for OEM PACKAGES ONLY. If you want a program (ie .cab or .exe) uploaded, contact me
CONVENTIONS
Files are to be named "[company] appname versionnum.rar" (eg "ArcSoft MMSComposer 3.5.1.4.rar" OR "MMSComposer 3.5.1.4.rar" OR "Grisoft TotalCommander 1.5.rar") - Try to keep naming the same, if you're uploading a different version of whatever is already there, use the same naming....
Readmes are to be named "[company] appname.txt" (eg "ArcSoft MMSComposer.txt" or "Grisoft TotalCommander.txt")
RAR or Zip files only. With plain-text files for readme's
Folders are permitted, but discouraged. Please just dump everything in the main folder. If it gets crowded, I'll see about folders. But, if everyone follows the conventions, it should stay neat.
Warez\cracks\serials are NOT permitted. I will remove any offending material.
And a final note: If this privilege is abused, I will remove the FTP user, and we'll go back to everyone having to PM me
Turning an OEM package into a CAB
Check out these guys: http://www.ocpsoftware.com/ they make a piece of Software called "WinCE Cab Manager" that allows you to do it. I'm not sure if its free or how easy it is to use - but there is no harm trying!
OEM for the kitchen
Thank you my friend.
Leo
Rock on!
Thanks!
Time for guidelines on structure of OEMs and the ftp folders?
Include readme's with what info?
Naming conventions? (version and enough to know what it is?)
What can't be added (serials, warez?)
Use of folders?
Rar or zip?
(sorry, just trying to keep it quality) ,)
I've uploaded the OEM's from Helmi, they should work in the new Kitchen, too.
Shall I upload some OEM's from other devices, too?

Guidelines and conventions added to the first post. PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU UPLOAD!!
And one other thing: Donations Welcome - hosting ain't cheap!
GREAT contribution from TehPenguin. thank you.
From what I remember, OEM are slightly different depending on the kitchen you use.
I think that at least are two different. People more involved could confirm this.
I would propose to create folders for the different version of Kitchen/OEM.
It would make everyones work/search easier.
Cheers

All seems fair there Pengiun .
The two versions of the OEMs differ in that the entry into initflashfiles to move across the shortcuts to the start menu in the first one went into the initflashfiles in the individual OEM folder on the original Helmi kitchen, but into the single initflashfiles in OEM_Language_0409 (from memory?).
Seeing as how this is for the new kitchen (?), the entry into the single initflashfiles could just go in the readme?
My problem with the old OEMs is that there appeared to be a lot that didn't work, can we only add tested OEMs here to keep it tidy and useful?
I'm just providing the space - so dont ask me too many questions
Personally I believe people should put up what they can, and chuck in the readme's as much information as they can.
If the OEM's need customisations, post them on this thread or in the thread of the relevant Kitchen
If you need to ask questions, direct them to the Kitchen maintainers (eg Leo and Ranju) or the ROM developers (eg Ivan, Midget, JWright, MWang, etc)

I would dare to say that this point must be mandatory, maybe even more: only 2 or 3 users (Leo, grayme and Ranju) or the ROM developers should be able to add the OEM to the main folder; everyone else, should have a "test" folder. We take the risk to have a big mess wihout knowing what to pick.
The readme file is a good idea to place all the info needed to work with the OEM.
Hi Ultravox,
Think that building ROM's and building OEM's is always a mather of thrust and a bit experimenting (see if it works).
A OEM needs a 'dsm' and a 'rgu' and sometimes you need to tell initflashfiles.dat where to place the files.
Before I will use a OEM I should always have a look first at the 'rgu' a/o the initflashfiles.txt, if initflashfiles.txt excist I modify initflashfiles.dat.
The only thing that is necassary for the OEM is the initflashfiles.txt (if the OEM needs it offcourse!), if you don't know where to place the files the whole OEM won't work and you need to rebuild.
Cheers,
Leo

I've added a few files to start off with:
Ghisler Total Commander 2_UPX - freeware 150k
Gábor Kovács Tcpmp 0.72 - freeware 629k
Mort's MortPlayer 3.31RC6 - freeware 741k
SKKV SKTools3.1.3 - very usable demo 473k
vijay555 Hide_Bottom_Bar - homebrew/freeware 11k
I named the readme's 'readme' as that seemed easiest to find them

Firstly:
Sorry for the confusion I was not aware that "NO THRILLS" which is what I originally called this Basic ROM was someones 'Trade Mark'. Please forgive me for stepping on any toes, it was not intentional, and not intended to take away from anyones well earned glory. Sorry all!!.
So Here it is:
This is my first ROM I've put up for Download. I've been playing about with these ROMs for quite a while and I have really appreciated everyones help in developing wonderful tools and freely distributing them here.
XDA-Developers is just brillient
So This ROM is based on the latest ATT build (3.55.502.1) I have removed all of the ATT bloat ware, and several applications listed below, and left the ROM open for customizing. I have often found that Most ROMS have only the 5 tab Home, and the older Task Manager etc, so I have removed all traces of these applications and simply left the ROM barebones, so people can just add applications as needed.
Applications removed:
ATT Music Shop
ATT Games Shop
ATT Mobie TV
ATT Music ID
ATT Mall
Real Player
HTC Home
HTC Today Plug-in
HTC Task Manager
Windows Music Player Plug-in
Microsoft Welcome Center
Applications Added:
SDAutoRun
Windows Vista Wait Cursor
Windows Media Player Compatability Upgrade (now plays mp4 video)
Screen Capture App
Reg Editor
This ROM does run 2 additional small Cabs after first installed, these are adding small settings for the ATT network. These Cabs DO NOT AFFECT any none ATT users. Hence this ROM can be used on all carriers that I am aware of.
This ROM is compatible with all the 1.65 Radios. I have not Tried the 1.58 yet, but I have tried the new 1.71 Radio and that one is also compatible with this ROM.
Voice Command and all the OFFICE applications are still there, as is NETCF2.0
I have uploaded two copies, one with the radio, and one without.
I am planning on doing a fully loaded ROM soon based on this acrhitecture.
Please let me know what you guys and girls find with this new ROM
Thank you

First Issue Reported.
I called this ROM a NO THRILLS Rom. Sorry for any confusion but this rom is in no way associated with the Master Chef "NoThrills". Please forgive me if I mis-represented this ROM. I simply ment that it was a stripped down ROM with only Basic Apps installed. In England where I am originally from No Thrills means just that, "very basic". Which is why I used the term. I was not aware until recently that "NoThrills" was a xda members name.
However, NOTATreoFan is dead right its "No Frills" I was thinking of. Doh!!!!! Trust me I program better than I apparently speak !!!
Sorry for the confusion NoThrills. Please don't hate me, i'm just stupid
Problems Reported So Far
None, However some poeple have commented on various NETCF configurations, hence the list of availlable versions has been updated to accomodate these requests.
Now you can have :
No NETCF
NETCF2.0
NETCF3.0
Enjoy!
Thx M8, I'll give it a go...
wich no thrills rom is this based on because its not v3? or is it just the no thrills concept
No offence but for me this shouldn't be named "No Thrills". everyone should know why... its just... dunno how to name it even...

This isnt the "No Thrills" that you think it is, it looks like we have a new chef which is great but I agree that this should prob be changed from "No Thrills" that is of course you want a cluttered thread with questions like the above. Its always nice to have another chef though, Ill give it a whirl if I get the time.

You are right. I was not aware until just now that NoThrills was someones call sign. I have changed the name of the file and printed an appology in the listing.
Thank you for your comments.
Like yourself...I'm anxiously trying and struggling to become a avid chef in cooking ROMs. Is it possible that you could direct a noobie like me to a tutorial or Wiki about what steps you took to take out most of the different AT&T apps and such? This is something I've been trying to do for some time now and have failed at almost every attempt. Any help would be greatly appreciative so that I can further my cooking expertise. If you don't know where to find information could you possibly post a Wiki or tutorial on how you done it yourself?
EDIT: Can someone mirror this through MegaUpload? Rapidshare keeps giving me an error.

Great Entrance, Anthony, but I welcome your "stripped" WWE Rom to the Kaiser community..
Great stuff for those who like it plain and simple.
Good to see so many new chefs around.
Look forward to seeing more of your work in future.
WIzard200x,
"Stripped" .... Yes that would of been perfect
Next time, I will think a little harder before giving my creations a name.
Thank you everyone for your understanding !!

Hi,
I'm not sure if there is a quicker way to do it, but for me it was a case of locating each and every file for the apps not wanted and deleteing them. Then I went through each rgu file and removed all entries concerning the programs no longer installed. You also have to go through each provxml file to locate any references in there as well, otherwise the rom might develop instabilities. I also did some very minor dsm extractions.
My ROM will decomplie again, so if your looking for a basic architecture to begin on, download my rom and extract it.
Hope that helps

Which files are you refering too :
I used notepad for the following files

I can not report to much success with the dsm files. My knowledge of this area is limited. I was able to remove some lines that were not wanted, but some of the files did not translate well.
Hope that helps

Hi Dermann.
Have you heard anything from Da_G re wm6.5 for the i607 ???
I tried contacting him once on this matter through private message but got no reply and now on top of that txcaesar had undergone a major face-lift leaving no track for blackjack related information.

OK, googled it again and there is a new post about wm6.5 for i607 by py8 at ZN520 website.
source
http://www.zn520.com/viewthread.php?tid=1140
translated via google:
http://translate.google.com/transla...d.php?tid=1140&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&history_state0=
PS - translation is sometimes very funny but most important brush == Cook
The ROM is English/Chinese
I will try to login there and check.
I was able to login but cannot understand where to download the file from. Anyone here has experience with downloading files from zn520 (or at list is able to read Chinese and retrieve the file for us ?)
i've been i contact with Da_G and he has a working 6.5 working already but as dermann said the keypad doesn't work "yet" and thats something big haha he sent me a link of the kitchen that hes using and as soon as i get home ill post it here so if anybody wants to help or figure out how to get the keypad working that would be great cause everyone would benefit from it.

Hi Aitrus,
Well I already know about the keypad issue and Da_G is certainly very known for for his great abilities producing awesome ROMs as well as cooking them with efficient memory allocation.
I do not understand whether the i607 shares the same dll's as the i600 for keypad, which could be extracted from Noksers/PY8 i600 ROM.
If not another possibility is to extract the necessary files from the PY8 new ROM for i607 which is not clean since it is English/Chinese ROM. However I do not know where to get it from. It does not appear on PY8 private blog and I cannot find the link for downloading it from zn520.com although I registered and logged in.
What do you suggest ?
to be honest i dont know im in the same boat as all of you the only reason Da_G keeps me updated on his progress is because i sent him a bj1 to work on other than that... Da_G thinks that its not the .dll thats not working but the tools hes tried changing them a few times but no dice i dont know chinese either but ill try to find the link on that site as well if anyone is interested heres Da_Gs kitchen for the bj1.

Yes just saw your post there.
I suspect there is some sort of user rights system in their website for determining who is entitled to download (not that I know how to gain this authorization).
You can see at the bottom of the text a small lock icon accompanied by text that translates to "The posts need to hide the contents of the reply before they can browse"- I guess this is the hidden link. Biggest question is what does one has to do in order to gain these rights.
Good luck guys
The keyboard issue is the last thing remaining in that Kitchen posted earlier, I suspect it may be a VM allocation issue related to the age of the BJ's kernel.. but not really sure.
If that can be fixed, it's ready to rock
thanks to lovebabyjing, i was able to download the 6.5 rom at that website. but it wasn't without effort. i have asked if he will translate the .txt file that came with it. and as soon as he or someone else does that for me i will let you all know how it is.

The site shows three download buttons. Two which wants to install suspicious mallwares and one that looks like VIP under payment.
If you get any further from this - let me know
Edited:
OK according to the images posted in the link below there should be a fourth green button to do the download but I don't see it when I log in
http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cach...pan&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=il&client=firefox-a
i've already got it downloaded. and your right about the suspicious stuff, took me quite a bit to do. but i have it and i plan on hosting it for you guys just give me a bit.
EDIT!!! alright, here you go guys. PY8's i607 WinMo 6.5 Rom. keep in mind that this is a "Chinese rom." ..........LINK..........
*Instructions from starca's rom, but they still apply*
*NOTE THIS STEP NEED ONLY BE DONE ONCE, TO LOAD THE DRIVERS* - Disable USB Connectivity in ActiveSync under File - Connections, MAKE SURE you have the modem/flash drivers installed. (Connect phone in modem mode by settings -> connections -> usb -> modem, install drivers). Do not forget to close wcescomm.exe and wcesmgr.exe for Activesync.
1.) Boot up device in flashing mode by holding down right soft key, "camera" button located on right side of phone, and power simultaneously.
2.) Run included program "I600_v1.1_Single.exe"
3.) Connect device to computer. Yellow color in program should change color.
4.) Click "PDA" button. Choose included file "ZN520_[SGH-i607]WM6.5_21854_20091022_MSYH.bin"
5.) Check Phone Initialization(EFS Clear). Make sure EFS CLEAR and PDA are the only one checked
5.) Click "Start Download"
6.) When device shows "Phase 2 ------- [PASS]" Flash is done. It should auto-reboot quickly.
7.) First boot will be slow so be patient.
8.) Goodluck
after your booted, go find setting and go to number 6 of the first page and switch it to US English and reboot. i've already sent Da_G the link so he can try to get the keypad to work and a WWE rom.
BIG! Thanks to lovebabyjing for getting me the download link.

OK in the meanwhile below is a translation from the attached txt file courtesy of Google translate..
Notice two interesting things
1. it is basd on Stacra's old BJC4.3 ROM
2. They talk about issues with layered windows - and mention reg keys to control it

About LayeredWindows:
In the 617 version of the WM6.5 experience shows mentioned LayeredWindows, then what is the LayeredWindows it?
1, can be translated literally as "window layer" "Layer Window," "layered window", is a new WM6.5 features, in the registry by the following values to open on / off:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ GWE]
"EnableLayeredWindows" = dword: 1
2, if opened EnableLayeredWindows, being learned, WM6.5 at the interface with the original WM6.1 has the following differences:
I. WM 6.5 wait for animated icons and transparent. Required to be open LayeredWindows, or else wait for animated icon will "become" very rough, the background black. To this end. WM6.5 trial version disable LayeredWindows, using resources in a way replaced with WM6.1 solve the "rough" animated icon in the issue abandoned the transparent effect.
II. WM6.5 achieve PPC style menu effect. Required to be open LayeredWindows, otherwise invalid. Of the original quote is as follows:
http://www.ioicn.com.cn/forum/viewthread.php?tid=336430&highlight=WM6.5% B2% CB% B5% A5
3, WM6.5 sliding under the theme of imitation of Titanium under the PPC do not need to LayeredWindows

post #17 for rom.
Hello all,
I'm trying to learn how to create cab files. I have the WinCe cab program.
Can someone help me with how to create a cab file for an URL?
(There is a cab file which installs an icon for Bank of America, and clicking the icon opens www.bofa.mobi in IE. I would like to create a few more for other banks.)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
If you could attach the .cab so as i can dissect it then should be easy enough to work out how to create another but have never created a .cab to direct link, but willing to try and help.
You can use Opera mini 5 instead, have your URL programmed on one of those tabs.

Seems the MiniPIE is hardcoded with the website address imagine for security reasons, not sure if able to make a link like PIE \ WWW. \ ?resource.dll for the icon, will have a good scrat around
Even easier save the page in .html create .lnk now will just be creating a icon .dll which will depend on site or if using 6.5 can use the numerous software to change the .png?
Thanks for the assistance, stylez.

I confuse meself sometimes
Well if you open up Firefox and go to a page you can go File/Save Page As save as .html then if you put this on your phone when clicked will open up default browser and the page you saved, so rather than placing in start menu you can create a shortcut too it.
Normally with a program you can create a .dll so example google.dll and what i'd do is import a image into it and tell the shortcut to see it instead of just looking like a .html "but @ the mo i'm having no joy"
Now on 6.5 there are numerous programs to change the .lnk image so you may be able to use something like JWMD Icon Changer to do this.
Hope that makes sense

Excellent catch. Thank you very much for finding it and posting it here.
Now here's one problem though. The icon that shows up is a weird windows icon. Is there a way to get the site icon in there??
I guess that's the advantage with having a cab ... It puts in the site icon.
Thanks everyone, for your help.
Please search for 'shortcut icon' on this forum,also has very simple solution.
Looks like you are a huge fan of cab installers, but to make every shortcuts a cab really takes time.

Me too once tried to use complicated ways for this before finally trying the shsimplest method.
Similarly, we can make a shortcut for any files on the phone, only if there is an associated app to it.
Thank you all
Wow ...you guys are awesome.
I was finally able to figure all that out ....
Tools used .. SK Shortcut Manager | GConvert | Icons
Using these I was able to create the icon dll files.... and voila ...it all works ...it all just works ...
Thanks to one and all who helped ....

Sorry to revive a kind of dead thread but i am attempting to do the same thing.
I have created a .lnk named it BofA.lnk and its target is set to
"\Windows\iexplore.exe" http://www.bankofamerica.com/mobile/
So i now have that in my start menu but the shortcut has the icon of pIE, how do i change the icon to a bank of america one?
idea
Just a link here;
55#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,11?\Windows\cplmain.cpl,-5150
Everything after the ? is used to identify the target icon offset in ANOTHER dll/exe/cpl.
Here I made a thread about how to do this. You'll also find some nice Shortcut tricks and (shortcut)applications;

Good luck,

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.
Original link is still up: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634951
Or you can download it from the box below.
1.) Flexilis Mobile Security - Link in download box below. This is a once-popular anti-virus program for WM6.x devices. It is AFAIK the precursor to what we now know as Lookout on Android devices. 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).
Download it from the box below, or the original link is still active here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677
4.) Esmertec Jbed - This allows Java midlets to run on Windows Mobile devices.
Get it from the box below or go here(https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407667) because the original link is still active...
5.) Adobe Reader - View PDF files on Windows Mobile. Get it from the download box below.
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:

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)

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
