I must admit that I am not over happy with the O2 interface part of the XDAII, but have found that I need the task manager to shut down programs, otherwise you end up having loads open that you thought that you shut down, which will end up in a restart.
Is there someway that I can remove the O2 menu but still have some sort of task manager open on the footer. I have worked out how to remove the O2 theme and the Dialer skin from the phone section.
Can I not just load a default windows 2003 OS and programme the phone section seperatley, or do O2 install/programme the phone bit?
Unistall all the V2R Active things in the 'Remove programs' then manually delete using file explorer all the directorys it said it couldnt delete, that gets rid of the menu, then search around for an app that does what you need it to do if you want it for free a good place to start maybe http://www.freewareppc.com

Is there a way to uninstall all microsoft apps thats in Pocket pc 2003SE
Such as MSN Messenger, Media player, Outlook and so on....
I don't use them and thought it was a pitty they are still there for no reason....
They're in ROM and this not only make it impossible to remove them, it also means it is of no use doing so.
so you cant even remove the icons?

From where?
If you want them removed from the start menu, just go to Start - Settings - Menus, untick anything you don't want and tick other stuff you would rather like.
If you want them removed from Start - Programs, open explorer and go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete the links or copy them into a subfolder in case you want to have them back later on.
I was annoyed that the atom did not have a little program like the "running programs" on the mini, so it got me thinking about replacing it. Instead of accessing the memory manager I made a little app to put on my today launcher (see my sig) so I could get a list of the processes.
The program itself works (even though I think I did it a bit back to front) but there is one problem. In all versions of the os before wm5 my listview works fine. In wm5 the state image list, ie using LVSIL_STATE dose not work. I do not have any programing tools for wm5 and I cant find any info regarding how it handles state images. Any info would be appreciated.
Also is there a way to get an icon onto the recently used programas list in the start menu - without putting the exe/lnk into the start menu folder?
Here is the program if anyone wants to try it
http://odeean.veritel.com.au/ORDprocessManager/processManager.exe
I also found that using
ListView_SetImageList(hwndListView, himlTopLevel, LVSIL_STATE);
screwed up the imagelist used by the file explorer. I would not have expected the explorer to use a state image list to hold the file etc icons, and why should my one have anything to do with it. In the other versions of the os the imagelist one creates belong to the listview and get cleaned up by it when it is destroyed.
the ImageList_AddIcon also fails.
I found the cause.
For years I have been putting 0 in the flags parameter of ImageList_Create.
It always worked because I think it defaults to ILC_COLOR4. The atom has an 18bit colour depth so I guess it needs to be more specific. I tried ILC_COLOR and it worked fine with no more explorer problems. This leaves the question about why the explorer was effected, a bit worrying.
This tiny app takes 2 seconds to do its thing on the XDA 1 and 4 seconds on the atom. Sad, very sad.
...the new version is on the link above now. I noticed that on wm5 cprog comes up as safe to stop (it shouldn't) so don't press stop all if you want your phone to work.
guys this o2 active interface is drivinng me crazy. i was trying to uninstall it to reclaim some of my much need disk space an in the process i activated the o2 active interface. now my display has gone all cramped up wid icons. plz suggest how to deactivate it coz i dont hav any idea. also how to uninstall it coz it never seems to uniinstall.

Have you tried removing it from the startup folder in the windows directory or selecting the corporate install from the install mode
well currently it is activated. so unless i switch the active o2 off i cant uninstall it. the problem is i cant seem to deactivate it.
go into programs
fine o2 install type icons
click it
chose basic
click ok.
o2 active will no longer be running.
as for removing. once its not running it is only a file in extrom. it can be removed from extrom. bulk forums on here how to do it.
let me know if you need any help

you can end the o2 active today thing by pressing the 'Q' key on the keyboard.

Im pretty new to pocket pcs, with my Wing being the first. When i load my phone up i usually have 15.xx mb available (is this good?) and thats with fring (chat client) automatically starting up, but i usually close it. I use my slide to unlock program by when i turn off my screen (tap power button) and when i hit any key the slide to unlock automatically comes up. After just using this once, my available memory drops down to 9mb. Is this normal or should i get new slide to unlock/ get rid of it.
How much memory should i try to keep available for program memory and what can i do to free up more program memory.
thanks a lot,
bline
edit: i thought this sounded interesting but i need help with it so anyone that does it can u help me?
4) Move/Remove StartUp links:
...a) Using Resco File Explorer ...
...b) make directory "\Windows\StartUpDisabled"
...c) if you don't use MyFav5 Plan
......copy "\Windows\StartUp\My5MsgCenter.lnk" to "\Windows\StartUpDisabled\My5MsgCenter.lnk"
...d) if you don't use Voice Commands often (you can still manually start app)
......copy "\Windows\StartUp\Voice Command.lnk" to "\Windows\StartUpDisabled\Voice Command.lnk"
5) Backup & Remove Services
...a) using Resco Registry editor ...
...b) goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services"
...c) if you don't use MyFav5 Plan (SMSCSend links to my5client.dll, I don't have My Fav 5 plan, so I don't need this service)
......1) click and hold "SMSCSend"
......2) choose 'export' from popup menu
......3) save SMSCSend reg export somewhere for backup
......4) delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SMSCSend" from registry
...d) goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services"
...e) if you don't use Windows Live (don't know for sure, but I think this service is what slowly drains available memory, finally forcing a daily reboot. don't have to 'daily reboot' after disabling this service)
......1) click and hold "Windows Live"
......2) choose 'export' from popup menu
......3) save Windows Live reg export somewhere for backup
......4) delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Windows Live" from registry
...f) goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init"
...g) if you don't use the little 'quick launch' Tray App icons on the bottom of the Today Screen
......1) click and hold "Launch92"
......2) choose 'export' from popup menu
......3) save Launch92 reg export somewhere for backup
......4) delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init\Launch92" from registry
6) Soft reset & you are done ... a quick, and responsive Wing with much better memory usage.
...a) try this basic setup for a day to see what it is like without adding your favorite Today Screen plugins. Then add something in and compare memory usage. A lot of apps available now seem to need a updated version to be optimal with WM6.
...b) I installed ...
......1) SPB Mobile Shell 1.5 /w today screen plugin
......2) SPB Insight /w today screen plugin and 20+ feed sources
......3) pTravelAlarm
......4) Some non-memory resident programs and games
...c) getting 21 MB free on boot
...d) after all day phone, camera, email, insight, and IE browser useage, memory hovers around 14-18MB free
