I have been tried with DestinatorPN working great...
Hi,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I understand this correctly, this "hack" recompiles any .exe I want to run on my Universal to default to a VGA screen.
The end result is that I can have everything in QVGA mode except those I specifically modify. eg
- WM5 and phone dialer as normal but when I start a modified Internet Explorer to automatically defaults to full VGA mode?
Is this correct?
Also I noticed the reference to this site below...
http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=8&showtopic=62
I am wondering what they mean by the "HI_RES resource file", having never owned a window's based PDA before, I'm not familiar with the file.
Is this a generic system resource file that can be duplicated into any folder we need and renamed appropriately?
Where do I begin to locate such a file to copy and rename?
This seems like a neat solution if its just a matter of copying this into any program folder I want to run in VGA mode.
Regards
Michael
Looks like it, time to do a bit of playing around........
......Well, I couldn't get any of it to work. No great surprise there.
This app modify you ppc apps to work in HIRES(VGA) mode, when all my WM5 in QVGA mode only the apps that i modified will work in VGA mode.
What i know (i tried) on this app, When i modify DestinatorPN and it's works great but on Resco Explorer (5.1) it's not working.
And about the Internet Explorer i didnt found way to copy/move/replace the file "iexplorer.exe" so i didnt check it.
Resco Explorer and PIE are allready high-res aware. They do a method called double-pixelling. This means that you don't get more screen estate but doubles each pixel both horizontally and vertically...
Btw, first post. Hi all! Been lurking around on this forum for ages... Well since the Magician came out.

I nicked the HTC 'switcherbar.exe' from my axim x50v and put it on my JasJar (i notice a collegue has it already on his k-jam as part of the default rom). It work, is only 43k and is perfectly stable and usable. No more pocket plus slowdowns! The only problem is that the icon is QVGA and sits in the middle of the menu bar! Still, much beter than anything else I've tried! Does anyone know how we might resource hack the .exe to use a VGA icon (or if this is even possible). I've attached the .exe for 'ahem' educational purposes.
when i try to copy it to JJ i get access denied using activesync, i have extracted the exe from the rar, the rar will copy to me jj no problem, the exe just wont do it, even renaming it to .exx.
i got it there, i put it on me server and wifi'd it using resco explorer to map to share,
is this an activesync block? dubious, it had same issue even if i renamed the exe to something like exx.
I like this app, small to the point and optimised. only crit is as you say it plonks the icon in a stupid place, is there another app maybe that can force it to the system tray?
Ohh, also the brightness and power options dont seem to work, if someone could reengineer this app to allow:
1, vga icons
2, appear in sys tray or atleast be more dynamic in its positioning
3, either remove or fix the backlight and power options.
Way over my head but im sure someone here would be able to fix it.
prehaps we could get the one off the k-jam? I presume the brightness & power shortcuts work on there...
Hi,
I'm sure there is somebody here that can help me. I've set up my SPV M5000 with some old programs, and they certainly messed up with the registry about file associations.
I can display jpg normaly, but if I try to see a jpg file (ie not embeded into a web page), I get the file save dialog. At first, it was registered to pimg.exe, and I tryed associating to to pocket painter for example, with no luck.
Anybody know the key to place to go back to a normal jpg displaying state for pocket ie?
TIA
I've the same problem.
Mine is the same but I've installed nothing that would affect the file associations...
I think perhaps it's just another of the joyful 'features' of Microsoft's wonderful Pocket Internet Explorer
Does it do the same with a gif or bmp?
V
That's exactly what I had on mine. I didn't get to the bottom of it, but instead did what vijay suggested and created a local html file with the jpg embedded. All I needed was to view a single jpg within PIE (from my webcam). This works fine, but is a workaround only for 1 jpg. I wouldn't want to do this for everything!
Surely one of the File Explorer tools can change the file associations?
I think the problem lies within PIE, when you click a pic it assumes its an attachment and so will save it,
I cant try atm but its worth trying to goto a pic directly ie,
http://www.website.com/picture.jpg
it may well display the image then, not sure, cant test atm. and its not going to be very useful when doing some normal browsing.
Same with Gif. I've teste on a K-Jam, and it display the picture properly in ie. I'm sure there is something messed up in registry
Found the solution
There is a CLSID value missing in HKCR/MIME/Database/Content Type/image/jpg and other gif and jpeg
Add a string value CLSID
{698E3FCA-70C3-11D0-81E8-00A0C90AD21A} and you are set.
@thaihugo
Won't work for me.
I've tried with PHM RegEdit but same behaviour as before.
Can you give us a screen shot of the correct registry key, please?
BTW:
There is another string "Image Filter CLSID" and
there is a "Bits"-key in /gif and /bmp and /jpeg but not in /jpg.
Are these needed too?
OK now it works.
What i've done is:
Created and copied the CLSID mentioned above into
image/bmp
image/gif
image/jpeg
image/jpg
image/pjeg
Copy the "Bits" from /jpeg to /jpg
Created a "Image Filter CLSID" in /jpg with the same content as found in /jpeg
Save, wait and Softreset. -> Works as intended!
I don´t know if i've done to much, but everything works now.
I'm happy. Thank you!
I though it was my programs that would delete this keys, but it seems you need to insert them also. Maybe it is a full system bug? A registry export might be of some help if some other report the same problem.
This still isn't quite working for me...
Can someone explain again EXACTLY what I have to do?
Hmm - interesting stuff - will have to try this.
I assume this isn't going to affect other JPG viewers, eg Opera???
I have the same problem on both Hima and Universal WM2006
Himalaya > TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6 AKU.0.7.0
Universal > Jwrightmcps 9000_WWE_21200_21207_11500
The registry solution proposed doesn't work for me, probably due a different CSLID. Any suggestion?

Many thanks to CouchPotato

Thank youuuu, your step by step solution worked fine for me on BA (WM6)

Hi! I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a way to assign a hardware button for the camera flashlight or even a screen icon. I read somewhere that somebody was working on a program for it. Thank you for your time.
Look for a proggy called pflash. It'll turn your screen white and temporarily disable the backlishgt timer. assign that to a hardware button and you're done.
Thanks Nate, I was hoping there was a program that would use the camera's led flash as a torch. I found veejay's program, unfortunately it didn't work for my mda. I'll give pflash a try though.
No prob, I think it was a free proggy by David Anders (easy enough to find via google). He's also got an AWESOME RSS reader too.
I've got my MS Voice Command on my 8125 and added a shortcut to Pflash to the \windows\programs directory and renamed it flashlight and VC hs no trouble understanding it and calling it too!
Flashlight with Mortscript
Maybe you can try with this.
Unzip both attached files.
Install Mortscript app and copy flash.mscr file to PPC.
Run flash.mscr file.
It works on my Atom Exec/WM5. The .mscr file sorta run the test Flash command from the Atom Exec's Self Diagnostics apps.
Cheers,

Plamp
Found plamp here
http://www.freewareppc.com/misc/plamp.shtml
WM5 compatible - HTC Phones only
This program is used to permit control of the flash light on various HTC Phones, to allow it to be used as a torch etc.
Note: this app may will cause permanent damage to your flash led over prolonged periods.
The app will disable itself after prolonged use, but still, use it at your own risk.
I cannot confirm what hardware it will work on, other then the Universal phone.
look here: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJCandela
Juncker - my app is not compatible with wizard. I don't have a wizard to test on so never wrote support for it.

That worked really well.
What abt the light dmg topic... use long time = killing the light?
Anybody have any luck running that mscr on the 8125? I couldn't get it to work
I haven't found any other way to control the flash w/o starting up the camera...

can i make this work on ATOM?
Do something work for the wizard now?
At this point, still no. But I for one would be willing to put my wizard on the line to test a version of vijay555's program for the wizard.
Hey folks...
I know, I know...too many random threads about the same questions...
I've searched and searched but I found a few programs that look like they do the same.
I brought an AT&T Tilt 2. I love the TF3D and I'm looking to download a quick program that allows me to use the phone in landscape or portrait when ever I feel in any menu or screen.
I've found a few choices:
Project Pulse - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588476
Gyrator - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
Change Screen - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
I'm not sure which version is best or right for me...
To be honest...I dont' even know what version of Manilla I have...or what it is just yet.
I'm also looking for a way to remove a few of the standard programs AT&T added to this phone. When my phone is idle and I'm not touching it...it's operating at 70%. It's hurting the performance of the phone and I'm looking to lower the percentage.
I know you guys are probably going to screen: LOCK...but I've honesly searched a ton for answers.
Thank you much,
Manila is TouchFLO 3D aka HTC Sense aka TF3D, the thing with the flippy clock and the different tabs. If you're rockin' the AT&T default ROM, then you definitely have Manila 2.1. Project Pulse is only useful for people using Manila 2.5, since it doesn't have landscape, unlike 2.1. Project Pulse essentially is a "hacked" landscape mode for a landscape lacking Manila 2.5.
I personally use Changescreen, since it is compatible with almost any program and supports Manila. Apparently, Gyrator will work with regular programs, but won't properly rotate Manila into landscape mode. The only thing you need to remember is to remove "Manila" from the Changescreen exceptions tab, or otherwise it won't work when rotating Manila on the homescreen.
Though I haven't done any of this myself (since I'm not on the AT&T ROM anymore), there's an XDA-Wiki article (here) which details which files and registry keys should be deleted. Hope that clarifies things for you
Ahhh... I see...
So the only folks with Manilla 2.5 are those with flashed ROM's...since Manilla 2.1 is on the stock ROM?
I guess I will be downloading Changescreen and playing around with it.
I still have no idea how to remove the programs that came on the phone. I saw the link you posted...but it doesn't say how to access that screen. Do I simply plug my laptop via usb cord go through the files?
If I have to do this via computer...do I simply "delete" the files/folders?
Thanks again,
You can do it from a computer, but it's a lot easier to use File Explorer Mobile (included on your device) and navigate to the listed file locations and delete the files and folders.
For the registry entries, you can use CERegEdit (from the computer while the device is connected via USB), and there are tons of registry editors for exclusive use on the device (no computer needed). I personally use Dotfred's free multipurpose task manager for that, but there are other free options besides that, like PHM Regedit.
Thanks Dave...
I just saw that I can access all of those files with File Explorer (neat little program).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have 1 more question now:
On the XDA/WIKI for each program there are only 2 files. Example is below:
Glu Diner Dash 2
Files
\Program Files\Glu\Diner Dash 2 (1.5mb)
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\Diner Dash 2.lnk
------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I deleting both of those files in those two locations? Or can I just go into \Program Files\Glu\Diner Dash 2 and delete the entire folder?
When I use File Explorer, I see about 6 files in that folder...not just one.
Thanks,
You'd want to delete the whole "Diner Dash 2" folder, since you don't want that program, then you'd want to browse to \Windows\Start Menu\ and delete the appropriate .lnk file associated with the program. This will pretty much remove the program from the device, and deleting the .lnk will remove it from the start menu.
I have a Windows Mobile device with WVGA resolution 800x480 Landscape.
It's a Toshiba, I want to pass from Landscape to Potrait.
Normally the screen can not be rotated. But I think it's possible because all Windows Mobile devices can do this.
1---I downloaded a lot of application (RotateScreen, RotateMe, Gyrator2, GSen...and also others apps)... but the screen doesn't rotate
I have always received error messages like "Error in the program"... or
2---Unable to find HTCSensorSDK.dll...Where can I download this dll? I think that these apps don't work because they use accelerometer and my smartphone doesn't have it.
3---I have also tryed to modify the registry with Memmaid (...Gdi/Rotation/HideOrientation...) I changed values but the registry seems locked...
I changed the value from 1 to 0 , but the value return to 1...
Can Anyone Help Me???
Apps that don't use sensors, Where download this dll, How to Unlock the Registry...
I tryed a lot of way... Help!:crying:
---This is the error reportage that appears whit an app:
in Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr(PAL_ERROR ar)
in Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.set_ScreenOrientation(ScreenOrientation value)
in RotateMe.Program.Main()
---And this is another...
in Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()
in Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.set_ScreenOrientation()
in RotateScreen.Form1.PictureBox1_Click_1()

in System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc()
in Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop()
in System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
in RotateScreen.Form1.Main()
4---Can Anyone develop a software that rotate the screen or an option that allows me to rotate the screen in Java Software?
This can inspire you: I have a Toshiba G910 and the G900 is almost identical to my device.
Neither of the two have Sensors, but the G900 can rotate the screen when the keyboard is pulled out... (the G910 don't and it's strange because is newer)
...In W.M. 70 % of Application and games work only in Portrait mode.
The biggest problem is that I download a lot of Java games in High Resolution 480x800 and they don't work in 800x480 res.
One of the few advantages that my device has is its screen, but so what is the use?
Certainly not all windows mobile phones have the capability to auto-rotate, your device needs to have a g-sensor (I googled and this Toshiba G900 hasn't). Check if it has one on the site of your manufacturer. But all windows mobile phones can be put in landscape mode, although most of the time this option, located under settings > system >screen > general, is hidden. You can unhide it by setting the following registry key to 0:
Ok forget the key, can't find it anymore, but there is some program called "Advanced configuration tool" which enables this. Search it here on the forums
Now you say that you can't edit your registry, strange ... Which program do you use for editing?
I have also added the HTCSensorSDK.dll. However, I don't think it will work and that it's only for htc devices... But you can always try, you just have to put in the /windows/ directory. Of course it will never work if you don't have a g-sensor...

Only possible IF display driver supports rotating. Probably you have to install another display driver.
EDIT:
Install a Flash Player. Tons of landscape oriented SWF-files available.

Thanks you MXT3, but I don't have a G900 (read my 3rd post).
---I edit the registry with Memmaid (from Dinarsoft) and Today I also tryed with TotalCommander.
They don't want to work (maybe is a their problem...) Which registry editor do you use?
---I inserted the .dll file in my device. Apps seem not work (probably because my device doesn't have sensor)
---I tryed Advanced Configuration Tool but it doesn't work.
And then I don't understand the other 2 options : Landscape Mode (0°/90°/180°/360°) and Lanscape Fixed (yes/no)
Help me!

Thanks for your advice. I download and Installed Flash Player. But I still want Portrait mode.
---Can I download and install another display driver? (Maybe I can simply modify the current driver).
Can I put the G900 driver into my device?
---Do you know other W.M. Device (without sensor) that have only 1 Screen Orientation?
Probably their owners found a way to pass from Lanscape to Portrait and viceversa...

I will install the file you posted. I hope I will not damage my device.
But I want to try softwares for W.M devices similar to mine (they will work better)
Because the IPAQ 314 has W.ce and not exactly W.M...
Now I installed this file.
I can't rotate the screen, the app always tells me to soft-reset the Device...(I can't also open some .exe files)
Maybe I make some errors, but it looks promising.
...
Request
I have an idea!
If you have a phone that can rotate the screen go to "Windows" folder, copy "DDI.dll" and "wr1_ddi.dll" and upload them in this thread.
I will replace the files of my phone with those working ones
(This drivers can also have other names, if you know them write it)
