Manually unload a control panel applet - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi all,
I am in need of manually unloading a gps applet in my windows mobile 5 control panel (pre-installed by the extended rom) which prevents the update of the gps firmware (looks like the setup cannot overwrite those file and stops).
May anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

.NET CF Problems

Hi,
Ive got 5 CAB files which all go together to run a little program i have written, however, when installing them on my XDA IIS every one of them displays the message 'The program you installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of windows Mobile software'. I think these errors may become a problem when i place it in the Extended Rom folder.
the files are as follows
- OpenNETCF.PPC3.ARM
- MyProgram_PPC.ARM.CAB
- sql.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.ppc3.arm.CAB
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
James
Hi LinQ
The problem is that the OpenNETCF and SQL CAB files were built for WM2003 and _NOT_ WM2003SE. This means that WM2003SE cannot verify that they will work correctly with features such as the screen rotation facility.
To stop your app from coming up with the same message, you need to download the WM2003SE SDK from MS (haven't got a link sorry... but google for it and you should find it) and then target your application at the new WM2003SE device option that you get.
Hope that helps

Custom ROM for Pocket PC

Hi
Sorry if this post is not in the right place. I am in great need of help. I am a mobile software developer. A client who is into automation contacted me. The client has a control application that he would like to start up whenever the pocket pc starts. This itself is not a problem, since you can simply create a registry key to handle this. The problem comes in that the application must still start even if the battery has been drained completely and the device start like it does after a hard-reset.
From what I have read, it is possible to create a custom ROM image that contains the key described above. The application could be stored in the backup storage area of the ROM.
I have looked at tools to edit the .nbf files that are available with the ROM updates for the pocket pc from the manufacturer (HP iPAQ running WM2003SE), but I cannot find a clear answer, and my knowledge of Unix is bad at best.
Any help and suggestions from anyone on how to edit the .nbf file or any other method to manage this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Vitakey Fingerprint problem

I have tried to upgrade the new driver, then I deleted the old driver, and reinstall the new one. It doesn't work, I have tried to delete the new driver in the control panel. I can't see the program in the control panel anymore (add/delete programs). However, the program is still in my system or computer. I can still turn it on and it just doesn't function properly.
So my question is how to delete the program?
and how to reinstall the new one?
Thanks for any of your inputs in advance!
Cheers

How to "attach" USB Tool and activate "Internet Sharing" automatically at startup ?

How to "attach" USB Tool and activate "Internet Sharing" automatically at startup ?
I "liberated" my XP downgraded HTC Shift and succesfully tested 3G connectivity.
The problem is that every time I restart the device, I have to:
1) enter WM
2) Attach device via USB Tool
3) Enable Internet sharing
As WM is an operating system, I guess how to do this automatically. Can I write a "bat" file to do these steps or do you have any advice to achieve this ?
Any help MUCh appreciated.
Regards.

go to wm -win start menu --settings--connection--ub to pc--enable advance network connectivity.
this should fix the problem, cheers
Unfortunately, it does not solve the problem.
I noticed that the only thing I have to do is to activate Internet Sharing.
How to do this at startup, automatically ? Has WinMo some autoexec file or startup folder ?
Thanks.
Up, please. I'm so near to surf only starting up my shift
Up. Up. Up. Up.
Yes I'm sure you can do all of that with Mort Script,
Good luck!
And don't forget to post your final results so other users would enjoy of that!
unapproachable2kx,
can you support me ?
Maybe you can just drop the shortcut for the application on the startup folder or maybe DotFred's TaskManager can help(http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm).

WinMo has a startup folder (\windows\startup\) that you can create a shortcut for "Internet Sharing" inside, the problem is that you need a parameter with the shortcut to run the "Activate" conmmand in "Internet Sharing"; 'cause a normal shortcut will just run the app, then you'll have to press Activate manually (we want to automate that too); same thing for "USBTool". Unfortunaltely, I don't know the set of parameters for the shortcuts.
Or try looking for some advanced shortcut creation tools for WinMo, like in this list
