Downloaded a cab file from a chinese website, its a today plugin that when you click takes control of your today screen and gives you many buttons to cycle through move around etc drag and drop. Has its own background and signal bar etc. Seems to be a simple application launcher which slightly resembles the iphone. Found it in an elf thread but not sure if it is from an elf. I searched the forum and cannot find anything really like it(i mean apon looking at the contents of the cab versus the content of other things I have found here) I would like to find it in english if I could figure out what to call it. I am attaching the cab file, havent gotten a screen shot of it yet but its not gonna trash your phone just the characters wont display if you do not have chinese installed.
Any help appreaciated.

Anyone know what this is? Is it malicious? I stupidly installed it, but it shows up nowhere in directory structure, remover programs, settings, or program folder.
It is not malicous I have installed it myself and it shows up in remove programs to uninstall. It not showing up at all is strange, what are you running? Did you reset after you installed it?
I am running LVSW's latest wm6 release. It installs and works fine except for the fact that chinese characters do not show.
I did a check on the CAB, and it seems alright. It is called "dDockView", installed to your "Program Files\dDockView" dir. All files are installed there, 2 at "\Windows" and a shortcut. Nothing in the registry, nothing nastily `malicious`. Two of the files in \Windows are "dDockView.xml", "dDockPlugin.dll". Delete these if you want to remove it.
From what it seems, it only execute if you run the "dDockView.exe" in "Program Files\dDockView"
And runs on WM6 only.
UPDATE:
Attached screenshots. It looks.. ifoney. From what it seems, to be a launcher, that, the bottom part gives you the 'Menu' or 'Page' for the programs icons above.
You'll have to modify the XML in \Windows to point to your program and icons, I think.
Hey thanks for posting the screenshots I was just about to upload some myself. I knew it was a launcher but none of the chinese would show up as I did not have the local installed.
Is this comparable to the iphone app posted in these threads? Ive been searching but I havent found anything close to what files it installs I can only assume that its something the chinese have made but do not quote me on that. I wonder how hard it would be to convert it to english.

I have yet to take any rom plunge. I am runing wm5 on my 8525 all I have done is put on the newest version of radio 1.43.
When I installed it I told it to use my storage card and it did not fail but said install was ok.
Your afraid to upgrade os but are ok updating the radio? I seem to remember reading that it is easier to brick your device radio updating than just upgrading the os but do not quote me on that.
@hanmin Since you were able to see the chinese characters, what was displayed on the normal today screen where you launch the program? Mine just showed an icon with many squares of course because I could not see chinese.
It seems like a decent launcher for one handed operation and the drag and drop works nice, still havent figured out how to customize it all yet but time will tell.

Didn't say afraid, said I hadn't done it yet. Still reading and checking on what one I want to try first.
@Bohemian, I'm sure Psiodon doesn't meant to say 'afraid', probably the word 'worried / doubtful' is the word he is trying to use. Anyway, good that you are doing that. There are various newbies around that jump in and die without knowing why
@Psiodon
I didn't install the app myself. I've just examined the CAB contents and did a bit of goggling myself. I don't even know that there is a today plugin (probably I've missed some lines in the CAB). From what it seems, you can happily skip the today plugin and launch it 'normally'.
@Boh, yes I did not mean scared afraid as hanmin said, just that you did radio first as I have not done radio yet but have done os many times hehe.
@Hanmin, I must be retarded how did you get those screenshots without installing it, some emulator or other way of extracting them? The retard thing can be verified with your reply haha.
Jeff
@Psiodon You can google for screenshots? There are forum discussing it with screenshots. Just grab it from there? And, yes, there are emulator for WM5 devices if you are interested. Get it free from M$.
Are those forums in chinese or english, could you post a link to it?
Thanks in advance
Jeff
can anyone covert it to english Please
@Psiodon Google for "dDockView"
@aih1977, from what it seems, it uses a XML file for all the setup and stuff, but it also has a few DLL files which maybe difficult to convert to English.
Hi Guys,
This today plug-in come pre-installed in S1 Dopod in china which is the HTC Touch "Elf". But this is only availible in default for china market.
You need to edit the xml to do batches change to del unwanted icon.
Too bad this come in chinese lang only. And I having some program in adding new program using the standard GUI. Think I need to use the xml to add new program.
That makes sense the chinese care nothing about copyrights which sometimes is a good thing.
The software has its own custimizing app built in, you just click the little down arrows and it gives you options to delete and add new as well as lock unlock the drag and drop capability, you can change text font colors etc, it has its own button library graphics you can select from etc.
It does what its supposed to do, launches apps, displays your messages count etc, goes directly to what you want it to go to, email for email, text messages for sms etc, self customizing (to an extent) drag and drop icons for ordering. Clicking the clock brings up time of course, clicking the service bars brings up phone properties. Its pretty quick to do its various tasks and seems to be a complete program, I did notice that it doesnt seem to show the status of bluetooth wifi etc at the top or maybe I havent figure out how to configure that.
If it were in english would be alot better thats for certain.
Psiodon
Translator needed...Chinese
I know that some people here speaks chinese, so could any of you please look into this and translate it
Is there a easy way to break of a DLL change (e.g. translate) it and put it back?
easy way hmmm. I tried translating it myself but with my limited knowledge on such things I couldnt really get anything important changed to english, just a few menu options that you could already figure out yourself. I had to change my local to chinese to get those characters to show up in my editing programs. Then had to make shift sign the exe then copy it over to the phone. Couldnt figure out the signing cab thing and didnt work much on that since I couldnt get much changed into english. I guess the other chinese is hidden in there somewhere but with the programs I used I couldnt figure it out. The other thing that bothers me about the program is that it will let you add control panel items, but not program items, when you select that option it just sits there. I assume some path being different on the chinese version of windows mobile 6? So with all the effort I didnt get far.
There are many people out there who translate programs from different languages, maybe they have more of a clue than I do, and the ability to fix the path problem with adding programs.

Does this have something to do with the subject? So you're White western good thinking people? I wonder what you do around here?
how do I change the applications my Cube calls for Music and Videos?
I'm using PHMRegedit to change the parameters and application paths but they don't "stick".
When I soft-reset, they go back to pimg.exe.
Don't really want to download the configuration app if I can manually edit the Registry.
Thanks,
It's impossible with original MediaHubMini. You must replace it with hacked one. Some info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325424
I've had a good trawl around...
...and found the manual installation files on the software homepage. Thanks for that, I'll have another go
http://ww2.fatattitude.com/software/software-item.aspx?view=download
edit: Still doesn't work though. I stop mediahub.exe, replace it with the hacked version and it refuses to open s2p.exe for music...keeps going to AudioManager, which is cr4p.
Never mind. I'll live without it until Santa brings me a nice shiny HD
Ok, yesterday I've played a little with the Social Network Engine and I've finally dioscovered how to get it to work...
Prerequisiste: have HTC album installed...pretty obiousvly. Then..
1) Install the cab extracted from the Blackstone (I've found it somewhere in this forum, can't remeber exactly where: sorry to the author)
2) Extract the SocialNetworkEngine archive and copy it into your SD. Then move all files into windows folder (using totalcommander, resco or similar). Theese files are part of the oem pack of the original app.
3) Extract the last one archive, that contains only the provxml file, and copy it into your SD. Then open Advanced Configuration Tool made by Shaps, select "Menu" then "Import provxml".
4) Softreset.
That's all guys.
PS: I've got no time to make a cab now, sorry again.
sorry for my dumb question, but what exactly is "the social network engine" ?

You can upload pictures to Facebook ex. And Videos to Youtube
Youtube and Facebook options for multimedia files
bye!
ah, thanks for the informations!
It doesn't seem to work here ... I followed your instructions to the letter but cannot login to facebook or youtube afterwards ..
Youtube says " You input the incorrect username or password " and
facebook says : " There was an error while attempting to login "
I'm using Dutty's V4 Rom
Am I to dumb or missing something ?
Garf
No...don't think you've missed something (just to ask: did you made a softreset?) because:
A) youtube should work even without my istructions, just installing the cab.
B) facebook should give you anotherone type of error (something like "connection attempt...")
Theese errors seems to be related to the user/password you've digited.
EDIT:
the facebook error is the same that I had befor import the provxml I've posted here. Did you do it and then softreset?
Found it !!!
This social Networking implemetation from HTC seems stoopid ....
Guess what the problem was ???????????
My passwords were too complex or too long !!!
I had a password in with 8 letters , Upper & Lower case , Numbers and Special Characters both for facebook and youtube .... Just changeing the password to something simpler made both work perfectly
*** AARGHHHHH ***
Now I just need to figure how complex I can make my passwords without breaking the social networking again !
Thanks
Claude
Ahahah...no comment!!!
Anyhow: happy that you solved.
Cheers.
Worked perfectly
Got this up and running perfectly doing your steps exactly on a Sprint Diamond running Juicy 3.9 ROM.
Thanks!

works on pistonrippers rom.

brilliant app, love this many thanks

I'm glad to see that it works without any poroblem.
I'm really interested to know, discover, test...if this app can be used also with other services (not just with faceboo, youtube, ecc...) but also to upload photos to flickr, or songs to myspace in example. Dunno, but maybe it's just a base and it can be "expanded"...
doesn't work here on a german rom!?!
@Herr_Knigge:
I'm sorry, but I don't know cause I've got a WWE rom.
Maybe some files (that were extracted from an international rom) will cause some "compatibility" issues with a localized rom.
Can't help you a lot on this plane.
Sorry again.
i know this might sound daft, but is there any way to use a html doc to open the Album.exe ?
one of the guys posted the following in the dev and hacking section as a front for facebook mobile,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3080511#post3080511
i like the idea and have been playing around with it to make it more usable for me, then thought about trying to include a link to the album now it can be used to upload to facebook. ive included my edit to give you an idea of what im thinking but the code is beyond me
if anyone thinks this could work feel free
I'm not an HTML expert, anyhow I'm pretty sure that's not possible.
I think the only link to an external program (without that the browser ask you for a confirm) will be made with the command "mailto:" to send an email with you favourite desk app.
Moreover, if you use opera to open the page that you've posted above, the space needed on the bottom bar to create the new shortcut will be overdrwaned by the small menu button of the browser.
Anyhow, I found this "trick" very nice and I want to try it sometimes. So I've just correct a small line of the code to erase the useless (and very annoying) horizontal scrollbar. If you want to test it, just rename the file to fbook.html then copy it into the original folder and say "yes" to overwrite the old one.
Cheers.
im running the stock rom for sprints touch pro... will this still work for me?
Think so.
Don't imagine why it should not...
Regards.
Ok I followed your step to the letter and everything seemed to work great, no hiccups during install I was even able to login to facebook with no errors. I tried the other facebook program and could not get it to login so that was good (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3125204#post3125204).
On the top my little data transfer thing is going but its going and going and going, and no picture has been uploaded. How long do I have to wait for 1 picture? I have a feeling that this is not working right on the Sprint Touch Pro stock ROM.
Is there a way for me to view the uploader (did not see it in program files), also the album seems to be more responsive and easier to navigate, is it just my imagination? Last Some of the thumnails wont populate, I have to exit and then come back in and then they appear, is this a bug in this version of the album or always there>
I've searched and searched and searched. But yet to find anything working well.
I'm trying to find a customizable soundboard app. There's so many sounds ide use (Dave Chappelles Rick James, Mr T, Anchorman... I could seriously go on forever)
If there's nothing out there you guys and gals could suggest for me, is there any devs out there that could point me in the right direction on how to write this app.
Cheers peeps
use this program http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-wdaft-for-wqvga-vga-qvga-and-square-mobile.html as a base. in the explorer, you can switch the sounds and graphics to what you like. p.s. this program friggin rocks!
Dude, your gonna get busted posting warez here.
Dude, your cant post warez here. read the rules
how is it a ware? it says its beta and its listed as freeware on that site.
Sorry dude. Didn't actually read it. saw the site 'ppcwarez' and though it was
my bad
Nice lil app. but how would one change the sound s and such?
its all good. i installed to my sd. i go to my device/sd card/program files/godaft. in the two folders are the images and sounds. you can make your own images or go to iconspedia.com and grab some free icons and replace them with the originals. then you can grab the sound files you want to use and replace them with the ones in there. i dont know what format it is either .wav or .mp3, but you can grab an mp3 converter freeware app from somewhere to change it. the only thing you gotta do is make sure you rename the file you put in with the one you take out.
Sweet,
Ive managed to change the header and sounds to dave chappelle's rick james.
There's only one problem. The buttons still read 'harder, better, faster, stronger'
I cant find anything related to these in the skin folder.
Any ideas?
ok i just checked and there is no button associated with the words. my advice is to just reverse-engineer the app until you find the text written into it. try using a .cab decompiler/extractor or visual studio. if you dont know how to do this then maybe look around on here for people who deconstruct files. i would look and try to write you a new board but i dont have the time and resources right now. you might also wat to try to find another sound board like the fart app. not all of them have all images cooked into it.
Dude,... this is THE BEST app ever invented. Work has never been that easy,... I put "shut up", "go away", "bring me coffee" and "cu tomorrow" in the app and I never ever have to open my mouth again

Post your sound board once you finish

I didn't actually edit the program itself. I just created the 4 sound files (*.wav) I wanted and named them L1.wav, L2.wav, L3.wav and L4.wav
Then I replaced the original sound files in the Godaft/Sounds folder with my own ones and now the first 4 buttons play my sounds. The buttons are still called "work it", "make it", etc., but they play my sounds. So if I would add more sounds, it might become hard to remember, which sound is on which button,... but the 4 I have are all I need and easy to remember

Thanks buddy.
I used 7-zip to extract the cab file and got loads of files. Extensions are .001 all the way to .052 (I'm guessing these are the resouces) and an XML file (used to install)
I've looked through the XML in notepad and cant find anything there.
So its in the resource files somewhere. How do i open these files?
Ive checked out Visual Studio, but not sure which version I'm after as don't know which language this apps written in.
I'll grab the all-in-one package though

it sometimes sucks that you have to use multiple extractors to dig out one simple image. i still got an eye out for another soundboard for you that is much simpler to edit to your liking. there was also a guitar app i seen that was crazy simple to switch...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482726. there is only 6 sound options and you have to skin the buttons the same as guitar strings.

The first one, with the drums has very good reaction. Like it! Didnt have the time to customize it yet...
a ton of info on here, to bad its so scattered if i close the tab ill never find it again..
having a problem making shortcuts from sd card/ dont know the proper procedure but i did manage to get omarket back to home tabs after a hard reset because tmobile wouldnt/couldnt upload my contacts from mytmobile.com
now i have wifi router somehwere in the system already installed and cant utilize it.
installed these 2 things before i called tmobile.
There should also be a what to do and what not to do, it gets very confusing seeing the leo thread and then coming back to the US tMObile Leo thread and no stickies.
there should be a list of .cab for the apps that come with the phone that were removed b4 release to US. i found it b4 i cant find it now
An official list of what roms will work + compatibility sticky (so people dont brick phones all day) its hard to see a good rom and then have to read the next 3 pages to realize it wont work/will brick your fone.
and a general how to for those who dont want to flash roms, and dont mind dealing with stock rom but would like the benifits "tweaks" such as tweaks for stock rom.
Any one VNCvewier? this is a useful tool that only topix rom has (as far as i know)
