Is there a way to configure the device name.? By default it uses the owner's name and I would rather use something different.
I think its on Settings > About > Device ID. Be warned though as I changed mine and then Active Sync didnt recognise it and only linked as a guest.....had to change it back.

PS I knew Batman would use an Exec, yet another cool gadget for him :wink:
HPJ
Thinks for your quick response. This forum is great.
P.S. I've gone by Batman for years now and yes I do love these gadgets.... :lol:
The Bluetooth device name is indeed initially taken from the value you put into "Owner Name", but once set it can be changed and is not dependent upon the two being identical. You can override the bluetooth value by a registry hack.
In the registry, you'll find an entry like the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Settings]
"LocalName"="Fred Bloggs"
You can use a registry file merge to modify this. For example:
====== Reg file entry begins below =======
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Settings]
"LocalName"="O2 Xda Exec"
====== Reg file ends above here =======
You will need to soft-reset and then re-search for Bluetooth devices on your PC/laptop for the change to be noticed.
Has anyone got TodayPlus http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=843
up an running on the wizard. It is/was the best todayscreen plugin on my old Ipaq. I can get it to run as a stand alone app. but not to integrate as a plugin.

Hmm.. I reviving this threat after 'discovering' something called 'TodayPlus'. I did a google to it and it seems to be a very powerful program. From the looks of it, it seems to have the potential to cover both PocketBreeze and PocketPlus.. and yet it seems to be not often being discussed here. It seems to be able to do everything, by scripting (feels to be like the PPC version of Samurize.com)
I'm bound to give it a go this weekend.
Those who are interested, take a look at this MASSIVE forum just for this today plugin/application.
http://forums.jhollin1138.com/
French version http://www.todayplus.fr.tc/
You may able to download the software from the link above (post by `wizzzard`).
Note that, there are a lot of software named TodayPlus, which includes a Palm based software that tries to emulate PPC Today. So, it is rather confusing to do a google for it. Anyway, the 'head' of TodayPlus seems to be at this site
http://www.dark-mojo.com/
But it seems to be currently down.. interesting...
i got it working

Todayplus is/was the best plugin I found. It worked perfectly on my WM2003 Ipaq2210 and works on my WM5 Wizard. It was designed for WM2003 and does not support landscape correctly. There is no support available from the author but remains for me the most adaptable today screen plugin.
Don't work for me...
I got only a blank screen. Any suggestion?
Ciao
blank screen
i have given edited dll also in that archive.
Skip the steps for editing it and you have to follow these steps
phuntum (05-27-2005) - v0.11.0
On your PPC use a file explorer that will allow you to see extensions and hidden files to find the file “todayplus.dll” in \Program Files\TodayPlus and copy it to your PC. On your PPC turn off the TodayPlus plugin (uncheck in the Settings/Today screen), soft reset, and move “todayplus.dll” from \Program Files\TodayPlus to \My Documents. On your PC use a hexeditor to open the “todayplus.dll” and search for “7D 1E A0 E3 03 08 A0 E1”; replace “7D” with “8D”; save the edited “todayplus .dll” and copy it back to \Program Files\TodayPlus on your PPC. Delete” todayplus.dll” from \My Documents and reset your PPC. On your PPC turn on the TodayPlus plugin (check in the Settings/Today screen) and soft reset.
phuntum (05-28-2005) - v0.11.0
The above fix is permanent. Save the new todayplus.dll in a safe place so that if you have to reinstall (e.g., after a hard reset) all you need do is install, disable, and replace as per above. You might want to save the instructions just in case. Free hexeditors are abundantly available. Do a web search for one. It's a great program and the effort is worth it. When you're ready, surf over to http://www.jhollin1138.com for a goldmine of help. There is a great debate as to whether the fix should be shared--somewhat hypocritical in my estimation, since those who were lucky enough to get it before it disappeared are using it.

I have tried it twice on my Kjam. Used the modified dll provided. however, I can only see a white screen when trying to access the settings! :S Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Thanks
Ok, I found it! I was missing the .net!
Very nice application with beautifull skins! Only drawback is that it does not auto refresh when you add a new apointment or task!
Apart from that its a really nice application!
Arrgghh,
Reinstalled on my Wizard after upgrading to Molski's ROM. I can get it working as a plugin rather than as a stand alone program, which previously was my stumbling block. Now I can't get the config utility to remember my location or get weather and rss feeds updated. This did work on my old ROM. I think it is just some reg settings that need creating but why it worked before and not now I do not know.
Hi Guys,
Im a newbie to this plugin but so far I understand that its able to make short cuts on the "desktop" just like a normal pc....and thats what Im looking for.
Ive followed the instructions carefully and the first time it went okay....i.e I got the slider.txt in the skin box. However I didnt find the "okay" button on the top.
Well I followed the instructions but it didnt show up on my desktop....strange so I uninstalled.
Now Ive been reading a bit further and read that the reason why it might not have workd could be the date so I decided to set back the clock 2 years and reinstall it.
2nd time around I dont get the slider.txt option, it has saved my settings from my first install....and it still doesnt work.
help help help
Well after som struggle I managed to get the slider.txt into the "Select Skin (DLL)"
But its still not working on my today screen. I can choose it as the only item on the today screen however its just blank.
Is this because I use a special black screen (tsk file) for my back ground ?
Also its seems to forget my location (Lat/Long)
Any help so that I can get it working ??
Im using a Qtek 9100 with WM 5 OS 5.1.195 Build 14847.2.0.0
Oh I'm happy again
I finally got Todayplus running properly again. Weather and RSS are updating correctly.
This is what I did.
1 install Todayplus cab
2 Disable Todayplus from Settings/Today/items
3 Soft reset. Or power cycle the phone.
4 Overwrite todayplus.dll with the modded one
5 create directory \program files\todayplus\Buffer
6 Connect to internet and verify connection with PIE, minimise
7 Run todayplus config
6 Tab to Weather/RSS add new weather cities and rss feeds
7 Tab to Time/Storage add new timezone and set storage path to \Storage Card (case sensitive and device specific for Wizard?
8 Close Todayplus config
The config utility would not save my location coordinates on the owner info tab so I manually entered the values into HKCU\Software\SRSSoft\TodayPlus\coords\1 (string value of the form 53.483,-2.053) You can get your city coords from http://www.heavens-above.com/
9 Disable all other today screen plugins and enable todayplus. Close the settings program.
On returning to the today screen after a short wait Todayplus should be working. This worked for me but there is loads of information at http://forums.jhollin1138.com/viewtopic.php?t=1292 if you need further help.
Here goes.
I bought a Magician a few months back. Hated the lack of space but liked the Bluetooth functionality. I could connect wirelessly around the house no problem. Sending/receiving files to/from anyone with a Bluetooth device.
Decided to proceed with BigStorage ROM Flash. Flash succesful. Enjoyed adequate space. Hated Bluetooth. I tried to get some help in this forum but the help extended wasn't exactly too successful. I was missing the [`Bluetooth] option in ActiveSync [a registry key I believe], and I couldn't send/receive files. I decided to give up on it until I had enough time to retrieve the registry key by reflashing with shipped ROM and flashing back to BigStorage.
I found the time to do it last week. Flashed and reflashed several times [every single attempt was successful], checking and rechecking for the Bluetooth registry keys. Yet I couldn't find them.
My Magician can still detect Bluetooth devices so I'm sure the hardware isn't busted. But I can't even transfer files using Bluetooth. Tried installing that Bluetooth Stack from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532. Added some new features, but functionality is as stated in this paragraph.
Help? ::crycry:: hahahaha
I am now totally clueless as to how to go about this predicament..
EDIT
I've recently did the BigStorage ROM on my Magician. And everything was just peachy. Up until I tried to sync my Magician to the PC via Bluetooth.
Before I did the ROM patch, I was able to sync my unit through Bluetooth after some few hours of tweaking my system. But after I did the patch, I tried to sync it again through Bluetooth. My PC was waiting for the Magician but the unit kept disconnecting itself.
I ran Activesync on the Magician, went to its settings, and the Bluetooth option was gone. Only `USB was left along with some numbers (baud rates?), when previously it had `Bluetooth as well.
I'm sure Bluetooth works (as I've installed the CAB associated with it from the ExtRom) on the unit since it can make a device pairing and ask for a passkey and all that, but syncing through Bluetooth doesn't work anymore.
Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

Click to collapse
try pairing your device to the pc! make sure that ur pc is not listed on the magician paired devices, activate the pairing from the magician through bluetooth under settings system tab through "Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup" and go from there.
let me know how you go!
errr.. ok i tried what you suggested. and i'm starting to wonder..
now my device can't see and can't be seen. i can't make a pair anymore even from the pc. my unit says 'no new devices found' yet my pc is discoverable.
broken bluetooth radio maybe (but it was working before the patch...)? or could it be a cab file i missed?
Hi i'm only new myself but you could try a soft reset then retry pairing your device, or a hard reset and see if the bluetooth works then? or maybe even try the cab file on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532
I have found that worst case senario a hard reset and look for the right bluetooth cab to install from the ext rom.
run a search on this site for ext rom and look for the post with details about each of the seperate files and what they do!
*Edit* i did a quick search and i wasnt able to find anything in the ext rom that applies to bluetooth setup or settings! so i guess a hard reset maybe the best way to find out whether is software or hardware?!!
Maybe one of the more experienced guys on this site might be able to help you further.
Hope this helps a little
thanks for your time boh113. i can still sync through the USB port so i guess bluetooth will have to wait. i just use it for wireless internet around the house when i'm not at the pc anyway.
i might try the hard reset when i have more time to tinker with the magician. but in any case, i'd like to thank you for trying to help
just an update in case somebody can help
i managed to pair my device with the pc already. but i still can't connect via bluetooth in the magician's async.
ok i found something in my registry pertaining to my problem. although i'm not sure how to fix it.
in the magician's async, under tools -> options -> PC -> options, there's a drop-down list for PC synchronization options:
`115200 Default
`19200 Default
`38400 Default
`57600 Default
`USB
there was a `Bluetooth option included at the end of the list before i did the bigstorage ROM.
going back to the registry, i found the keys to this list (although i'm not entirely sure if these are correct, but these are the only ones on my list)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`115200 Default
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`19200 Default
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`38400 Default
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`57600 Default
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`USB
and to what i can see, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook\`Bluetooth doesn't exist. there are a whole lot of hex values under these keys and i'm not sure what they are for.
although if somebody could post/upload the `Bluetooth key from their device, i'd be grateful.
i'm aware that the hex values are also based upon hardware but i'm willing to try it out.
Ok i can find what your talking about but i dont have the ability to copy and paste the registry entry anywhere?!
if you can tell me how to get hold of this for you i'd be happy to help anyway i can!
most registry editors have the capability for exporting specific keys up to whole trees. perhaps if you have resco explorer and the registry add-on. or some other software similar to it. tap-hold and export?
thanks
I have resco explorer and the registry add-on but i cant find anyway to export the registry file?!
There's an option for import but thats it, also there's an option to copy but all it allows you to do is copy and past within the registry itself!
unfortunately i dont have the technical experience to do much ore tha n this, a quick guide as to which program to use and how to do it and i would be more than happy to help!
oh ok. open up resco explorer or the registry add-on. then navigate your way to this folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Comm\RasBook
there should be a \`Bluetooth\ folder within \RasBook\ what you do is tap-and-hold on that (`Bluetooth) folder until you see the drop down text list. "Export..." should be one of the options then you can specify where to put it. by default resco places it in the main memory
will wait thanks boh113
No worries found it and exported for your satisfaction!
Had to zip it ;D
hope this can help you further!
Goodluck
Much appreciated!!
Will try it out in a bit. I'll post my results after
Thanks boh113!
well, i got back the `Bluetooth option in async. but still doesn't want to connect to the pc. the hex values probably don't match the hardware in my unit. oh well. i'll test it out a couple more hours. and if i still don't get it to work, a hard reset might be my only solution. or re-flash with my original rom and start all over again. hahahaha
thanks for your help and time boh113. forgive me for having taken too much of it
No worries, sorry i couldnt have been of more help!
Good luck with it all!

Here you will find a little tool to change your Device's Bluetooth name without going to the registry yourself.
http://gbit.ath.cx
It's free and more apps will be released.
Thanks. This is exactly the type of thing I could use.
Would it be possible to make a program to toggle on/off the "Wireless Stereo" and/or "Hands Free" services for a particular Bluetooth device automatically.
I created the attached Mortscript file to do it, but it is very slow and cumbersome. I use this to allow me to switch from my Plantronics headset to my JVC radio when I am in my car. The SendKeys("Settings","2") line in the mortscript code is used to pick the headset named 260Plantronics in my bluetooth devices list. I thought you could make it use a parameter to pass the device name to the program, so any device may be chosen. I use the registry reading part of Battery Status to show me if the headset service is enabled or not.
The registry keys for the devices is under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Device\???????????\Services\????????\enabled, where the first set of ?s is the device and the second set of ?s is the service. I tried changing the registry keys with mortscript but it doesn't affect the actual settings in the setting menu and the Plantronics is still connected. Even after a soft reset the Plantronics will still be connected even though the registry keys show 0 and the settings items are unchecked.
Code:
iscar=RegRead("HKLM","\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Device\000389c44266\Services\0000111e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb\","enabled")
Run("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools\BlueSet.lnk")
WaitFor("Settings",10)
SendKeys("Settings","2")
Sleep(500)
SendCR("Settings")

MouseClick("Settings",17,109)
MouseClick("Settings",17,127)

installation folder
i have eten glofiish m700 with WM6.1
i installed the CAB & it created a new folder on the main memory called \pogram files%provider% with the BlueName folder inside it
i believe it should have created the BlueName folder inside the original main program files folder, so i did a copy & paste of the BlueName there
It works fine & nice & light software..does exactly what it should do ... but i wanted to mention the "folder" destination error to you
Thanks again for the nice cab
ok, thanks i will check the installation and upp a correct one.

Here you go.
I hope he doesn't mind me posting his cab here since his site seems to be down.
I found that many of the latest ROM cooks of WM6.1 have the annoying issue of Activesync always starting itself every minute... i searched a lot and found the best common solution is the fake account with manual settings...
After playing around with the registry i managed to find a better way.
Just open your favourite registry editor and set the value:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\KeepAlive
to 0
and enjoy.
Hope this will help future cooks to use this feature in their ROMs.
Cheers
Personally, I've been trying to read up on editing embedded database files (and CEDB files) to fix this situation once and for all. I've hex edited mxip_notify.vol and removed the repllog.exe call for AS after a time sync (which is the main reason AS starts up roughly every minute). It works, though when checking the notification queue there are three empty notifications that I'm not sure whether they hurt performance or not. Ultimately, if someone is able to get the WM5 or WM6 (6.1) SDK and knows how to edit EDB's or CEDB's (in a volume, of course. ), I'm sure the community as a whole would greatly appreciate it. I'll keep working at it; however, I've never used VS 2005 so I have a nice learning curve to navigate.
i already try the reg edit method,but it still come back when i softreset my phone.
the best method is the fake server. =)
Keep in mind also that on the 6.1 ROMS, if the Automatic Time Zone setting is enabled in the clock settings menu, it will continue to load up activesync periodically. Disabling it, at least for me, keeps activesync at bay...............
The hex edited mxip_notify.vol works great for me, I can still leave the Automatic Time Zone setting enabled without any AS problems. Just would like to eliminate the blank notifications in the queue.
I can post my edited mxip_notify.vol for anyone that wants it. The only thing is that it needs to be cooked in. So chefs would have the most benefit of this.
EDIT : By request, here is my modified mxip_notify.vol. When cooking simply replace the mxip_notify.vol in the SYS\Shell folder. Enjoy.

for me on polaris with syrius r4 the regkey seems to work... changed it yesterday and no active sync since then! so many thx!
oh, well... looks like the "keepalive" edit is only a partial solution. It works only until AS is started again (USB connection, launching it manually, or timechange if not disabled in the notify queue).
I played a bit with AS and here's what I found 'til now.
Everytime it starts it checks if a partnership with an exchange server is set, if not the "keepalive" value is set to 1.
If there's a partnership and the schedules are different from both "manual" it sets the keepalive again to 1.
That's why reg_editing the value lasts only temporarly.
So, the only way for not having A.S. "alive" is having a partnership with something and the sync schedules both set on manual...that's why the fake server is the best method, but I was searching for a way to "cook it in".
For the partnership issue i found this workaround.
Add the key {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001} under [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\]
and the string Engine="{22C7DA12-F3FD-4875-8344-7786454F6534}" in that new key.
This will create a fake partnership with a dummy exchange server without having to go through the configuration menu, so this tweak can be used for cooking.
The second part require a bit of databases manipulation. Actually i know what to change and where but i'm not able to figure out how to cook this (in particular i need to know how the pim.vol database is created in the first boot).
I'll play some more tomorrow and will post what found... and eventually i'll try to solve the empty entries problem...now is time to have some sleep
attached there's a .reg with the tweak mentioned... cheers
Alternative method
Hi,
I've used the fake exchange server method before, but I prefer to use SKTools to do the job. Been using SKTools for over two years and this feature has been available since then.
Download SKTools from http://s-k-tools.com/
Install SKTools and disconnect your PDA.
Make sure activesync on the PDA is closed (not minimized).
Go to the Tune-up section, and enter the activesync tab.
Change "AS auto connect" from yes to no.
No need to soft-reset.
Done!
Note that the PC will still detect the PDA, and this is reflected in Device Manager, but Activesync (WinXP) and Windows Media Device Center (WinVista) do not start. There is no syncing.
The PDA will also detect the connection, and activesync will start in the background, but it will not sync anything.
I use this method to charge my PDA without activesync starting when I don't need it. Hope this works for you too.
Hi,
Thanks a lot mi friend !!!!

thx for the directions, but... looks like the tweak you posted is intendend for keeping AS from starting on the desktop, while were trying to do the opposite, stopping AS from starting itself every minute, and makin' it a permanent cooked tweak ready for ROM flashing...
anyway, there's no real need of sktools to do that, is the same option in actyvesync-connections
or through registry key

That's good info, bradipo.xda. Have you looked at using CeRegEditor to help with finding the other necessary entries? You can perform a "before and after" comparison of the registry for detecting registry changes. I would look into it personally, however, I'm a little to busy to do so right now.
SOLVED
Here I have attached an mxip_notify.vol with ceipui and the timed repllog entries removed AND I have attached a provxml that will set sync times to manual without creating the fake server. This combination effectively prevents ActiveSync from restarting itself every few minutes.
I use this reg key, didn't see it mentioned here.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ ActiveSync \ Engines \ {176F4FFD-F20C-4bd4-BDD7-01D0726C567B} \ Settings]
"SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled"=dword:00000000
Change the dword value to 0 as shown above, which means manual sync. The default value is 5, 5= 5mins, 15= 15mins, etc

Something to do with TouchFlo3D
Hi All,
I don't have the time to look into this myself, but I found that when I disabled touchFlo 3d to try out Mobile Shell, active sync never started up randomly. As soon as I turned TF3D back on... active sync kept coming back.
Just putting this out there, see if it helps anyone find a fix for that damn activesync.
The best and easiest solution
Holy cow people!, that's some crazy junk you're trying out there. I applaud your efforts but there is a much easier way.
As you know...
1. Disable the Repllog Notification (Apprunaftertimechange) in the Notification Window.(recommmend fdc taskmanager for this)
2. Registry hack [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync] locate value "Keep Alive" change this to "0" for disabled.
But now the enlightenment...
3. Use fdcsoft's registry editor to tap and hold "KeepAlive" and select "Export..." (or chose from file menu) This will export this one value to a .reg file. Put this file in your \\Windows\StartUp folder. Now if you don't already have a program to "run" .reg files, you need to associate them with TaskMgr.
4. Using Total Commander, tap and hold your .reg file and select "Properties". Select "Associate" tab. Tap the gray box that says "Associate..." In the "Command:" box, reference the location of TaskMgr.exe (ex. \Program Files\FdcSoft\TaskMgr\TaskMgr.exe) In "Parameter:" box, leave the "%1" and add "/silent" (%1/silent) This keeps a dialoge box from popping up.
6. "OK" the changes and enjoy!
Now when windows starts it will "run" the .reg file and change the 1 back to 0. Problem solved.
bye bye Activesync!
