Vijay555 tools - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Sorry not sure how to use the tools on Vijay's site, i've installed the VJPhone tools, which creates a few shortcuts in a folder, now do i edit these shortcuts or what? if so how, and how do i put these shortcuts on my Today screen.
thanks.

ump, have a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26972&highlight=vjsms
Basically, you first need an explorer that will edit shortcuts.
I highly recommend GSFinder+.
Install that and navigate to \windows\start menu\programs\vijay555\vjphonetools
Then, choose the program you want, select the shortcut, choose copy and then choose paste. It will make a copy of that shortcut.
Edit that 2nd shortcut (so that you preserve the original shortcut as an example. Reinstall the cab if you foobar that one up by accident).
Edit the shortcut according to the description on my page, www.vijay555.com.
Just double clicking on any of the original files in \program files\vijay555\ will bring up a message box describing basically how to use each app.
I've got a forum on my webpage. You can post there, pm or email me, or always catch me here if you need help.

thanks, i'll give that a go.

cool, seems to be working, how do i change the shortcut icon and add a name on it.
thanks for your help.

V

VJ,
Where can I find GSFinder? I tried google and it keep giving me a site that leads to a Japanese site. I can't read Japanese. Can you please direct me on the right link?
Another question, can I install GSFinder on my SD Card and run it from there?

http://page.freett.com/todamitsu/GSFinderE.htm
GreenSoftware is great! yes, AFAIK you can stick gsfinder anywhere. I recommend a copy in Extended Rom just in case you screw everything and/or lose your SD card (which I've done), and need some way to explore around.

Thanks very much Vijay!

VJVolubilis
Dear Vijay,
I'm useing your tool, VJVolubilis and it does not work as I hoped.
When I use VJVolubilis -agon (or -agcon) I hear the sound over my bluetooth headset briefly. It also starts Voice Speed Dialer and as soon as that ends, the sound no longer goes over my headset, but through my phone again. Hope you can help me out.
I have a HTC Universal, Original T-mobile MDA Pro (dutch)
Rom: Imate 1.13.52 WWE, radio: 1.03.01.
Bluetooth Headset: I-Tech Arrow 1
Download VJVolubilis versio 0.21
Thnx in advance ....

sharky48: you need to post this in the VJVolubilis thread.
There is a registry hack in that thread to fix this issue (temporarily). I will make this feature automatic in VJVolubilis quite soon... when I get some time to update it.

Missing Bluetooth icon after using PIToday

Hi guys,
I've been playing with PIToday for a couple of days now but I noticed one thing: My bluetooth icon on the Today screen disappeard after using PIToday. The only way to get it back for me is unchecking PIToday and soft reset. This is a bummer!
I've been checking some sites for solutions but could only find the solution mentioned above and one solutions for a 3870. This was putting a shortcut to the bluetooth icon in the startup folder. In the case of a MDA II, there is no such shortcut possible. I checked the registry and Windows directory but the is no .exe file which will start the bluetooth icon. Only .dll. But I don't know where to point it to. :?:
Any other suggestions? Because I would like to buy PIToday but I still want to access my bluetooth from the Today screen.
Wouter
Even though I am a huge fan of Pocket Informant, i experienced a lot of issues with the PI today plug in and stopped using it. It may be incompatability with other software I also have installed but as well as the missing BT icon it also caused instability (lock ups) and the occassional auto soft reset.
In regard to the missing BT icon though PI today is not the only culprit. Users of Pocket Breeze from SBSH Mobile software have reported the same issue. Only way to restore it is unselect the today plug in and soft reset.
Ed
Hi Ednap,
Somebody suggested a sort of sulution for me: Using Zenphone. In Zenphone there is an option to turn bluetooth on and off in a profile. And it seems to work!
It is not the solutions but a least it is workable.
Wouter
hi,
some kind of solution
get the tool "No Plugins today" (h**p://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/)
install it (of coz)
insert into your registry a new string like this
HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\init\LaunchXX where XX is the highest number of the Launch under INIT (I use "Launch90")
enter as the stringvalue the path to the tool e.g. "\Storage\NoToday\NoPluginsToday.exe" or whereever you have installed the tool
insert a link under \Windows\startup or \windows\autostart (depends of the language) and point it again to this tool. Rename the Link in such way, that it will run last (eg. "XXXNoToday")
ok, thats all, reset your device, and enjoy your Bluetooth icon
It is not a failure by any of the Today-Plugins, which make the icon vanish, it's just a timeout of the btdll, caused by Plugins, which need too much time to initialize itself, so the icon just nor appear.
What does this thing?
after reset it removes the todayscreens, the bluetooth icon appears, and after that the notoday-tool switches the plugins on again.
you need some more time (3-4 secs) after the reset, but, who cares, you got the icon back

Nice work, IvkovicD!
I'll give it a try and I'll post this solution also at the PIToday forum. I'm sure this solutions is a great help for Deje the maker of the program.
B.t.w I tried SnoopSoft Dash Today Advanced today to see if I like it. It is not bad. A bit slow but guess what happens?
My headset profile is now gone! First I thought it was because I had too many Todayplugins but after removing a few and soft resetting it still wouldn't come back. Any suggestions for this one?
Thanks,
Wouter
To create a shortcut to Bluetooth copy the following into a shortcut file (text file with lnk extension i.e. Bluetooth.lnk):
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
and copy it across to your PPC
My headset profile is now gone!

Click to collapse
Might it be that your profile is just gone from the Today screen? Check Settings>Personal Tab>Today>Items Tab and see if Profile is checked.
Hi Mark,
No. The headset profile was not there anymore in the list. I contacted Chris Scott, who makes DashToday and the only solution he had for now, was to uninstall the program.
Not realy a good option in my opinion.... Especialy because I just bought the program because there is no trial avaliable.
For your other solution:
I want to make sure that I realy understand. You want me to make a textfile and name it i.e Bluetooth.lnk. In this file there should be the line:
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
Then copy this file to my PPC and presumably to the startup directory?
Just want to make sure.
Thanks,
Wouter

Copy it to the Start Menu folder. It won't bring back your bluetooth icon back but you will be able to access the settings from the start menu.
Thanks,
I give it a try later.

Hi,
I know this effect. I've have this "vanishing", too, if I install too much today- plug ins. Just grab your favourite registryeditor and delete some build-in today-registry entries for today items, e.g. original-task, or some of the other build in ones. If you need it (I don't believe that , make a backup, but really, do you need them?)
reset your device, the missing plugs should appear again...
Sometimes, the OS just do not display some today-plugins, if there are too much entries into registry, even, if you do not activate them...maybe at MS nobody thought that someone needs more then 5 todayplugs at once...
just joking

Dejan
Hi Dejan,
Sounds like an interesting solution. Want to give it a try but I can't find the path to the right regkeys. :?: Do you know were those keys are to be found?
Wouter
Hi Dejan,
I found the reg keys. (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today) and deleted the Task, Calendar and Owner Info keys. Then I did a soft reset but my Bluetooth icon didn't reappear.
Too bad.
Did it work for you?

New ROM: how to have back Wireless Today Plugin??

Hi,
I just upgraded to the latest official rom.
Before the Extended Rom Setup I had a "Wireless Today Plugin" that is gone after the ext rom setup...
Is there a way to have this plugin back without having to hard reset?
Thank you,
Roberto
Well, dowload this file, unzip it then execute the reg from PDA. The wireless plugin reappears in your today plugin list...
Don't worry if you can't find it in your today screen, since i've edited the reg file to be added but disabled. Just tick it on your today option dialog

Get a registry editor and add this to your registry. You can use a free editor.
I have new imate rom installed.
the reg file doesnt work for me. I have found a dll:
netmui.dll.0409.mui
in the windows dir.
maybe, because of its weird namee, the reg file doesnt work. I dont want to rename the file and maybe stop some other services or so..
cannot copy netmui.dll either to windows dir.. it says it already exists...

The same for me.
The Registry "Hack" doesn´t work on my QTEK 9000.
The Wireless Element itself is offered in the Today Element Menue but when I enable it, it doesn´t appear on the Today screen

Jamin - Delete recent programs from start menu

Hi Guys,
I just got my Jamin a few days ago and have hard reset it more times than I care to remember. There are a few things that irritate me that hopefully you guys can clear up for me.
Firstly, how do I switch off the recent programs section of the start menu?
Also, how do I clear recent searches and Terminal Service information?
Thanks,
DB
Ok... so this might not be the most complex of questions for you guys to answer... but someone MUST know... And the same for the dictionary... where's that located?
Both entries are in the registry. Both require you to perform a reset afterwards. You can not turn off the recently used programs list (stupid M$, I know!) but you can clear it. Attached is a CAB file that should clear the recently used list (make sure it is read only so it doesn't get deleted after you run it). It is meant for WM2003SE but I think it should work for WM5; you may just have to change the Max OS Version using WinCE CAB Manager. For the Terminal Services Client list, you will have to search the registry fo the IP/server name and then delete it manually.
cya
Thanks Mate,
I appreciate the help
What app do I use to regedit? Obviously Start >Run - regedt32 doesn't work! haha
EDIT: Call me blind... but where's the attachment!? Haha
Yea, good point where is the attachment? This is the 2nd time this is happening to me on this forums in one day! The file upload keeps timing out, so I'm just going to tell you the Registry change you have to make and you will have to use WinCE CAB Manager to make your own cab file:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch]
"0"=""
"1"=""
"10"=""
"11"=""
"2"=""
"3"=""
"4"=""
"5"=""
"6"=""
"7"=""
"8"=""
"9"=""
Use PHM Registry Editor or trial version of Resco Explorer 2005. Both should be on Pocketgear.com or try google. Depending on your Registry editor you may have to exclude the speech marks.
Hope it helps
VJEschaton has a command line to clear the recent menu. However, the OS still requires you to soft reset. Defeats the point IMHO.

Turn Bluetooth ON/OFF from Today?

Is there any programs that will let me turn Bluetooth & WiFi on/off directly from the today screen?
By directly I mean a toggle switch rather than a link to the settings page?
Anyone know of one? I've got SPB PockePlus installed, but that doesn't seem to have that option in there?
Thanks
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis
That seems like it'll do the trick, but PocketPlus won't let me assign arguments to an exe, so is there anything freeware that can?

Create a link (.lnk) to the .exe. Put all the arguments you need in it. Use the link with pocketPlus.
How do I create a link/shortcut on the PPC though, I have no option in the context menus?

I recommend using Total Commander instead. It has a built-in simple text editor, which makes it easier to edit that shortcut than opening it up in Pocket Word and whatnot.
And for very specialist markets, where an app that won't let you use shortcuts at all, try VJBrisk.

Sorted, got it working now. Thanks chaps.
Just on the look out for some Bluetooth icons to show on or off. Also, any progress on getting the wifi to work without have to enable it first via comm manager?
Scottland - not just yet, I haven't had a wizard to play with so far, so can only really test on the Universal. One day, I'll do it...

hotvoice.exe for 8525?

I see the hotvoice.exe in the /Windows directory, but it doesn't seem to run for me... nor does it show up as a valid Button assignment. It worked fine on my 8125... did Cingular not include this in the ROM?
hotvoice.exe was linked as the Record button on the 8125. I can launch Notes and voice record from there, I just wanted a more direct way to get there.
Is there a way for me to copy it from my 8125?
Thanks,
Mike

What ROM are you on? If you do not use PTT, using the leaked Cingular 2.06 ROM then you can do the following. Remap one of your buttons to the app. You must create a shortcut to it first so that it shows up in the app list when you try to remap buttons. If you do not want to change your normal buttons try Sleuth's PPTFix to use the PTT button to launch the app.
I'm still working thru the info here as a newbie to the ROMS...
My Device info says ROM 1.34.502.1, however I'm not sure that corresponds to the general #'s I see flying around (I have read the Wiki, and while there's a lot of good info, its also written with a lot of assumption that you already know a lot of the lingo)....
Anyway, I have tried linking to the app from the Programs folder..and that link does show up in the Buttons list... but I can't get the app to launch, period

OK, you've got the stock ROM, look for and install Sleuth's PTTFix, create a shotcut to Hotvoice.exe on your 8525, and map the PTT button to the hotvoice app. It will only show after creating the shortcut in \Windows.
I've installed the PTTfix and the PTT button works fine. While this gives me extra buttons, this shouldn't be needed, should it? (ie. any reason why I can't assign Record to buttons 1-4?)
But hotvoice.exe will not launch.. I cannot launch it from the file explorer either.
Given that Record does not show up in the default list of buttons (as it does on the 8125), it seems like it doesn't work, at least not in the default ROM??

Yes, you can change them to whatever you wish, I was just providing another suggestion. I prefer to leave my standard buttons as they are.
Ok, so the basic problem is that it appears that hotvoice.exe does not execute on my Hermes (regardless of button assignment)
I guess the question is whether or not it is supposed to run on my stock ROM? and/or if there is a way to add it.
Thanks,

You need a shortcut that calls MSVOICE ( I found this in one of Sleuth's threads)... See below for link to shortcut... Note: you must copy it to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and map one of your buttons 1-4 to it. I read it will not work on button 5, so if you need to launch an app that you had mapped to its original button, you can remap that to 5 if needed. Note also that you will have a Record icon in programs, it doesnt work if you try to launch it from Programs, only by assigning to a button.

But since it ain't broke no more, I'll stop trying to fix it.

No problem, I found that the difference is in how the shorcut is made. If you look at the content by opening it with Wordpad on your PC for example... you can see differences in the shortcuts... some ppl where making shortcuts to hotvoice.exe and renaming the shortcut to Record.lnk, some were renaming wrong... but this works for sure.
hotvoice.exe not working
Mike & ercave1, I'm also looking into usign the hotvoice.exe. I have the new ROM, even downloaded the shortcut link and nothing happens. Via Resco Explorer, I first unhide the files to view hotvoice.exe. there I find the hotvoice.exe which is 3K, and hotvoice.lnk (14B) I create a new shortcut from the .exe to the start menu. Nothing happens, I used the shortcut that ercave1 recommended and nothing. Looks like the hotvoice.exe in the Cingular 8525 new ROM and perhaps original ROM does not work or is corrupted. Looking at the attributes, hotvoice.exe shows the following: Read-Only, Hidden, System, ROM. Any help would be greatly aprreciated.

How are you accessing the .lnk? Use the shortcut from the zip file.
You must place it in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (this makes it visible in the button map app)
Then remap one of your buttons 1-4 to Record. Soft Reset.
I applied this today on my 8525 without a problem.
Yes, i unzipped the link from the file i downloaded, then i transferred it to the start menu. No luck on that. I also have a program called SKTools and there is an option to configure the 5 buttons of the 8525. It allows me to browse by file or by Alias. I noticed one of the ALIAS is :MSHOTVOICE. I tried that ALIAS along with another called :MSVOICE to no avail (I did a reset BTW). Do you have the new ROM or the original cause im not getting this hotvoice to work at all.

Don't understand what is happening I will try and create a cab to install this... I'm on the 2.06 PTT enabled ROM, but that should not matter...
Record cab
For those having problems creating the shortcut try this...
Install the CAB, then navigate to Start>Settings>Buttons then select one of the four buttons to modify and set it to Record, tap OK and test the button.
Let me know how it goes.
That fixed it for me.
Thanks.

Glad it worked for you, unfortunately it's not working for me. There must be a thrid party application or setting that must of corrupted the hotvoice.exe. Next time I do a hard reset, I'll give it a try. Thanks again ercave1 for your help.
Hi guys, I am new to this forum but have read and benefitted from some of your posts.
Zim,
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the Notes app is setup to do voice records on the 8525. I will grant you this... there are absolutely NO instructions about it in the manual so I had a hell of a time finding it, but through looking around I finally discovered this.
Just open Notes and then click Menu>Show Recording Toolbar. Now you can record voice records all you want and it puts them in your notes folder for review.
Then, of course, you can map any of your buttons 1-4 to the Notes app and, since you selected to show the recording toolbar, all you do is press the mapped button and then "New" and speak.
Hope this helps (someone).

cool thanks, this seemed to help.
it is odd for me the record short cut will not work directly but if map the button to it, it will work and as long as you hold the button in. it keeps recording till you are out of time.
as jwpetree said the the other way to use the recorder is to open notes 1st.
now to find a tweak to give more recording time.
