Screen Rotation for Dummies (SRS)

Hi,
This is seems to be the last version of our magic tool - Screen Rotation Service (or SRS). It includes Second Edition's Today Theme (menu & today scrollers support in landscape) and feature to automatically resize your today screen for Landscape Theme!
(Download it here: setup.armv4.exe)
During installation you will need to answer "Yes" to this message:
Code:
The file"\Windows\ace_ddi.dll" is hidden, read-only, or a system file. Would you like to replace the existing file?
After installation you need to go to: [Start menu] - [Settings] - [Today] and select "WMSE" theme from the list
And one more, minimize (X) your programs before switching
Thanx to abc and everyone here!

Re: SRS HE = Halloween Edition
Feel free to post your feedback/questions on this version of SRS to this thread
More recommendations that i remember about SRS:
1) Do not soft-reset your device when in landscape-mode
2) Minimize (X) your programs when switching between different modes
To install SRS-HE:
1] Download SRS-HE to your PC
2] Run it to get "setup.armv4.cab"
3] Copy this file to your PDA
4] Tap on it to install SRS-HE
5] Soft-reset your device
6] Go to [Start Menu] -> [Settings] -> [Today]
7] Select "Wmse" Theme from the list
8] Use [Start Menu]->[Settings]->[SRS] to switch the modes

So does this version still demand ROM 1.72?

No it is installable on any Himalaya device with any combinations of ROM, radio and ExtROMs
If it doesn't run at your specific system, you can always uninstall it without any damage. It really worth to try!

Yeah, I have ROM 1.60 (latest O2 UK rom) and it didn't work very well at all. Half the OS had problems, including the camera (even v2.5), the Today screen and many of the Control Panel applets.
I've seen reports on this site of people having fewer problems with ROM 1.66, but I don't think anybody has claimed that they've got it working with ROM 1.60 without problems.
Still, I'm hoping O2 UK are going to release 1.72 tomorrow!

Where did you get such ROM version? And why you are not moving to 1.72? It doesn't really matter who the supplier of the ExtRom is (imate, qtec, tmob...) it is a matter of OS rom content. So, just update your device and receive a set of 1.72 advantages (faster BT binding, greater performance, no good CT and so on)

No updates so far...

Everything seems to work fine...
But now it's very important to have phone app, calc app, WMP and cam app setted to run in landscape mode.

I got the update from my service provider: O2 in the UK. It's the latest version available, at the moment. I don't need all the hassle of messing about with ROMs from other countries and providers. I'll wait until the next ROM is released by O2 for me. (Tomorrow.)

I think unapproachable2k found how to fix this. He created LS skins but I couldn't figure out where to place them (see srs:... thread)

Well I guess the skins are not all we need to have them work in landscape mode. What we need are dll files who "teach" to app what skin to chose... :roll:

When in camera use "Contacts" hotkey to switch camera's modes...
Does the camera work the same on pda2k? They have 2.5, do they?

To clarify: As I said in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=63690#63690 ,the Dll's modded files are not complete,THEY ARE NOT WORKING,we need to manage theme more.. more dll's,more registry keys..
So I posted it there hoping in someone help.

Is it possible to port Control Panel from SE?
Thanx

Sure it can..
But I am not that smart to port it..
This work is need to someone like ABC.. 8)

I have a sugestion for all of ya, I have SRS instaled on my mda II, and I like it, but don't ever set an alarm in landscape mode, my MDA was playing the stupid melody for quite a long before it stoped.
The reason is that there were no snoose an dismiss button.
Even a soft-reset won't help.
Maybe the action button, but mine stoped by itself.

T-Mobile USA Email Triggers on WM5

Has anyone gotten the T-Mobile USA Email Triggers software to work correctly on Windows Mobile 5? I'm talking about the software that came with the iPAQ phone they've got.
It runs on my old imate JAM, but I'm wondering if anyone got it to work on Windows Mobile 5. I installed it on a Himalaya running the WM5 beta, and the email triggers do seem to initiate a send/recieve, but then no new email messages are downloaded. I wonder if that's a bug in WM5 beta or what. Can anyone confirm that it works correctly on the latest WM5?

Yes I have it working!
Yes I have it working but have not made a cab installer for it yet. I will put one together for you and post it later today. Do you want the IM programs too?

I have the version that was posted here:
http://www.pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=45599&highlight=email+triggers
And that's the one that seems to have issues on the Himalaya WM5 beta. I have pre-ordered the HTC Wizard, so I was wondering if anyone got it working on a "Real" WM5 Pocket PC phone (as it appears you did!)
So yeah, if your version is better/newer than the one above, I'd love to try it. I don't think I really need the IM SMS programs, but maybe others would? Thanks!

no sound by incomin calls after setup wisbar advanced 2

hi all,
i've got the problem that my jam doesn't ring the bell by incoming calls. After incoming call ends, i can see on my jam unsanswered call sign.
After unsinstall wisbar advanced 2, the ring bells by incoming calls. Can anbody help?

wis BAR!!!
so... here is the solution! REMOVE THIS PROGRAM.. this program is designed for standar pocket pc's and PDA's. Not for ppc Phone editions!!! i had the same problem with my O2 xda 2 mini

I'm not sure how relevant this is but I use the XDaIIi which I think is the same model as yours, if so you need to get the beta version of WA2. I would suggest 2.0.1.17 beta, this is because it was designed to work with this generation of PPC/phones. There are other versions available but I,m not sure of their stability. I have tried the very latest and it kept losing my today screen shortcuts SPB etc..
Anyway hope this wasn't too long a ramble. WA is an excellent piece of software highly recommended.
Pete

i use wisbar advanced 2.2017 version. so i'm wondering why the new version doesn't work. ok i will look for the 2.0.1.17 beta. i hope it will work. thx.

I have it on my Imate Jam and it works fine. You have to use the latest version which can be found at Lakeridge Software Forums.
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3077
@ vaggelis:
It seems you are not up to date with Wisbar Advanced 2 so i think you shouldn't say such things, when you don't have full information, cause this is misleading for others.

same problem with 2.0.17 beta version. now i will look for the newest version in the link that xcilion gave. thx. xcilion.

heureka ,it works.
thanks xcilion

win mobile 6 on herald?

many roms of wm6 are around on known sites for specific models.is anything for our herald too?ive read that there is going to be an official update to wm6 of this model so there must be something around, even beta.

Mhhm, i couldn´t find anything by now....
Lets wait a little, i think HTC is going to release something for us, soon

No one cooking any roms for the Herald tho?

doesn't look like it, i looked into porting one of the wizard roms but i didnt get very far! its definately possible to flash your own roms though. Also its worth remembering that HTC have promised us wm6 roms before June. I would much rather have that than a pre-release wm6 rom as the ones that are avaliable for the wizard, hermes etc.

As far as i know, everyone is content with AKU 3.2

well i have used crossbow on my wizard and the only difference i see are pretty icons and html mail. i dont really care about either, and more importantly my herald is very stable, cant remember the last time i had to soft reset never mind hard reset. so thats why i can wait until htc do their thang!

I hear one handed uses on WM6 is way better and that windows update feature looks very promissing.

O2 may be releasing an HTC Herald as O2 XDA Terra, with WM6 on it.

HTC Herald (aka Tmo Wing)
I bought a T-Mobile Wing 2 days ago (obviously it has WM6 on it) Where-as it is stable - I am rather disappointed that they removed the native VoIP support - thus I am waiting for someone to cook a ROM and put it back in so I can do the Hybrid Cell/VoIP thing that I was Previously doing on my Wizard (MDA) - I still have my Wizard which I use strictly for VoIP at home.

Windows Live Messenger (Mobile) 2005 Expired ??

As of today (local date:Saturday March 31st, 2007), the program Windows Live Messenger could not start.
I uninstalled it and then reinstalled and said: Installation of installation of windowslive.ppc2005_arm.cab was unsuccessful.
Is the program expired ??
I am running WM6 (LSVW)(20-3-2007) with Dopod 838 Pro.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? Thanks for any comments.
Best regards.

I can't start it either. Don't know what the problem is.

Same Problem
Same problem here.
WM 1.2 Black
SPL 1.40
Radio 1.38.30.10
I get a small popup that says "Error" and thats it.

guys,
WMLIVE beta I beleive has expired, as do all betas.
Also, MS track how many people log into from one beta install, so if it exceeds more than their predetermined amount then your account will be deactived through WMLIVE mobile.
just a thought.
wait for black 2.0, no beta here

Didnt know it was still beta. this sucks i use it many times every day.

Too bad, I've been playing with this for 2 days and it's closed now

too bad its expired,
for some reason mine still works oh yeh no beta.
just wait for black 2.0 in a couple days or so.........

same for me. I've been using it for a couple of months on my cingular 8125 wm5. It was a great app. hopefully microsoft will bring it out of beta for free download for wm5 devices. but I doubt it since the windows live app is a decisive feature between wm5 & wm6. But I stiil am hopefull!

extracting it from the rom would be awesome! Hint, hint

I'm glad i wasn't the only person having this trouble, I wasn't sure if it was my Vario II playing up! But as stated above I just changed the date on the PDA and it worked a treat! Its a shame it had to expire, I use MSN all the time!

Joy... I take it you are still testing it then?

And there's me thinking it was just black 1.2 screwing up my device as i literally just flashed it about an hour ago.
Good to hear Black v2 is on the way I'm thinking of replacing different sections of my housing to turn my hermes completely black to match If anybody has any spare BLACK housing parts PLEASE PM me
I'm after:
M3100 battery cover, front fascia, back to front fascia (the bit that slide over the top of the keyboard)
TyTN keyboard surround with buttons etc, camera surround
Anyway enough of my rantings and back to the topic(ish)...
Any date in mind or are you going to keep us hanging on with 'a few days'?
