Hi wondering if someone can help.
In the latest rom update from O2 if you install the active UI it will give you a battery today plugin which is quite handy.
Now my question we all know the ActiveUI is horrible will slow down the exec and take up to much space. Is there anyway of stripping out this battery today plugin form the ActiveUI and creating a cab file so it will just install this part. I think the file that is needed from the ActiveUI is BatteryNFO.
Many Thanks
Scott
Wow 50 views and still no one got an answer????
Got to say I'd love this too. I've tried other battery monitors, and none are as good as that one.
Ok i have been looking in to this since i posted and have extracted the signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build88.cab file to my home machine. From What i can see there are 7 files that could be related to this 4 of which start with batter~1.029 and so on the other 3 start with power_~1.070. is there anyway of telling what these files are actually for.
Im no expert at this but surely it can be done as i have seen people have ripped the connection settings from this cab file before so surely the same sort of thing can be done with this.
Cheers
Scott
i agree...looks quite nice this battery plug-in...hope sum1 finds a way of getting it as a cab file soon
Still looking in to this and not going to let it beat me to.
Has anybody ever used this software before.
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=12093
MagicCab PocketPC CAB extractor 0.63
It looks like it is going to do what i need and be able to strip out the battery today plugin from the cab and even tell us what reg settings we need to enter to if i am reading it right but before i commit myself to the $10.95 has anyone ever used it before to clarify that it will do what i need it to do.
If you want something more professional use WCE CAB Manager.
Why not use Batti ?
It gives you just as much information, doesn't take up valuable Today space or slow down your machine, is visible in every application not just Today, and runs in just 20K. And it's free
Right
So far with the advice given to me by ibendlin about wince cab manager and after several hard resets (trial and error thank god for spbpocket backup lol) i have manged to get half way there. But i am having a problem getting the skins to work
As you can see i have manged to sort the today plugin but im having problems getting the skins working even after a soft reset.
Maybe someone can offer some advice i will gladly forward the cab that i have created so far if anyone can offer some suggestions.
Ineedtoys: So far i have manged to get this down to 14kb as for the space on the today screen user preference really, but thank you for your advice on batti.
Anyway off to bed will work on this some more tomorrow
OK, if you dont activate the ActiveUI thing in programs then you can have life without it. To get it to go away now that its on goto \windows\startup and delete the ActiveUI file in there. You cant seem to unistall the program. I just avoid the icon like the pluage.
There are more complex ways of getting what your looking for, but this one is simple and effective
JAmes
ps. then soft reset
Hi James
Tis true what you are saying and this way will work but unfortunatly you will also get about 10mb worth of extra programs installed from the activeUI which take up the oh so precious Device storage space where the actual battery bar it's self only takes up around 14kb
But thanks anyway
yeah but the newer people to the scene might not like playing about with things. I've only just got use to playing about with stuff and up untill now I've been using this solution.
Now i've had the phone a wee while i'm happy to start going for corporate mode but was easier not to when i was just getting use to the whole PDA type stuff
JAmes
I know what you mean we all had to start somewhere right lol.
I stopped using the the personal install about a month after i had my exec it was only through advice from these forums that i actually found out how much space the activeUI took up and also how much it slowed it down.
I use this one:
it shows 2 lines: one for main Battery status and one for Backup Battery status (no more exists in WM5); it works well
tried this one but I still think the one in the latest rom release from O2 looks sharper/prettier....
Yeah i'm planning on giving up the basic mode soon.
let me know how you get on, as I too like this battery meter.

Fellas
I Have done it, Sort of. Still a few bugs but i don't think i will be able to sort these limited knowledge and already about 10 hard reset's.
I have been using now for around 8 or 9 hours now and all seems to be fine after the install no memory loss or anything.
Works well in True VGA to.
congrats m8..any chance of u posting the cab file here?
hiya scotjen,
dont mind you posting it out here??
thanks...
damn, I still have a Champions League game against Arsenal later.
got to get back to training soon
Well done.
What bugs are you still experiencing. Maybe someone could advise you further?
Hello All,
I have a new QTEK 9100 and recently went through several issues which thankfully led me to this site. The guy who sold me the new QTEK told me I could get all my questions answered here, so im willing to give it a shot.
1) I installed the Windows Outlook but not the ActiveSync because I was told ActiveSync would have to be removed later for me to upload and use the TCMP program to watch movies. Is this true?
2) I tried to install the GPRS monitor disk afterwards and a window would appear saying for me to do a "Soft restart of my pda" for it to repair or modify the program. What is a soft restart? How do I install the GPRS programs and do I need ActiveSync to do it?
3) I read dutch well but would like to change the programs to english. I read from the user Casablanca's posts that I could use the "lokiwiz" program. Where can I aquire this program and is there step by step directions on how to install it on my QTEK? Or is there a better program and if so what is it and how do I install it?
Any and all assistance is appreciated.
Thanxxx Vinum
1 - no
2 - dont know exactly what gprs program u r trying to install, please more detail, at least the website or something...about the soft reset is the standard reset: use the stylus to push the button in the hole near the infrared in the right side of the qtek...about installations, if u r new to this the easier way is to actually use activesync to install anything...
3 - first of all...if u r not an advanced user i dont recomend to change the rom as any error can kill your device...if u anyway r going to try have in mind that u invalidate your warranty doing so...and some tips: lokiwiz, use last version...read the more u can about rom upgrading, i suggest at least 4 hours (do a search for wizard rom on this forum and read read read)...language change: only way i know is going to first rom version possible (1.05 i guess) and then to your language choice, have in mind that this means double risk as u change rom twice...
and last word: this forum is full of geniuses...just ask what u need be4 doing mistakes...
first of all,WELCOME NEWBIE!!!!
1>nope,not true,better install outlook 1st then AC then do set your email accnt 1st on outlook and then SYNC ur wizard
2>softreset =1. there's a small hole beside the IR just push or click it 2. or you can aquire softreset program here in XDA-DEV(use search pls).to install gprs prog,u do really need to sync it, if it is in .EXE file,but if it is in .CAB file just COPY and PASTE it on your wizard(PDA MUST BE SYNC 1ST)
3>i think for this one,you MUST 1st learn HOW TO's to update ur ROM. my only suggestion is that SPEND MORE TIME READING FORUM IN THE UPRGADING SECTION,IT WILL HELP,REALLY.
AGAIN,WELCOME NEWBIE!

Looks to me that the guy is to lazy to answer your questions. Keep bothering him, just playing.
About soft reset, its harmless, its really helpful. I soft reset about 5 times a day, releases all ram and processes, makes your device operate a little faster.
new qtek9100 user
as i am a new user too, i like to provide some experience here, hehe, i started to be meber here yesterday, and i spedn about 12 hours on this forum, with about 30 browser windows open, reading and donwloading like hell, finally, after midnight, i got my SIM unlocked, thanks to lokiwiz 0.3a, and right now i am working on changing the rom, because i have a brasilian one and need a german or english one.
in some moments i htought its all over, and i messed it up, but i got lucky ( and PATIENT and disciplined, and all worked fine at the end. i just can REMIND what the other her said to YOU, THINK, and more than that ASK, i found , in just 12 hours, so many friendly and helpfull people here, its great!
YOU ALL ROCK !
First,
Thanx for all the quick responses I really appreciate it!
I'm going to spend quite a bit of time reading before attepting any ROM changes.
As for the question about the GPRS disk. It came with the Wizard and its called a QTek 9100 Application CD "GPRS Monitor" it says "version A" dec. 2005 at the bottom along with 69H20042-18M.
I know its use is for mobile Enternet and other applications. I just wanted to know if I could install it without installing ActiveSync becuase i was told to take of ActiveSync later to install TCMP.
According to you guys i dont need to remove ActiveSync to install TCMP. SO I'm going to install it, but before I do i need clarity...one thing.
Active is one program and Sync is another, right?
ArtXT reccomended that i install outlook 1st. "done" Then i install the AC short for Active program, right? Then set up my email account. Finally install the Sync program.
Is all this correct? I work abot 10 - 12 hours a day, so I dont have much time to surf this site and have to plug all most or all my questions into one post. Beleive me when i say IT SUCKS! But hopefully it all pays off at the end of the year. In the meantime I'll ask what I dont know and read what I can learn when I can.
Thanxxx Again, Vinum

oops.. sorry for the double post
hehehe... no worries
here you go
hi y'all, developers like me, who upgraded from WM2/WM3 to WM5/WM6, i know they surely miss the Bluetooth Manager, which is in WM2 & WM3, it's always been a full-fledged tool for everything, like creating BT Headset connection, BT Dial up network, BT File Transfer shortcut etc. It also tells you the speed of all active incoming & outgoing bluetooth connections. While in WM5/WM6, there are only few basic features of switching off/on bluetooth and changing its visibility.
Screenshots below, in post#6.
This application will work both in WM5 and WM6, i got this application from FTP of this site(Thanks to Helmi), so felt like posting a link as well. Cheers...
http://rapidshare.com/files/78498277/Broadcom_Bluetooth_Manager.CAB
NOTE: TAKE A PRIOR BACKUP, BEFORE INSTALLING.
Any screenshots?
Am downloading now...will post some screen shots after I've installed.
Broadcomm stack
Well, first of all , this has it's own thread . Just search for boradcomm / vidcomm bluetooth stack , and you will stumble upon it .
As far as I know , the forum paid $ 100 for a developer who ported this from the IPAQ operating system.
I installed it once ,on a previous WM6 edition , and it worked ( but see below ) , but i'm unable to get it to work with the more recent editions .
It does work , but there are several drawbacks .
1) Bluetooth light doesn't work any more .
2) Runs out of memory from time to time .
3) Not very well integrated into the OS .
etc , etc .
But never mind me , give it a try and post the results . ( PM me too ! ! ! )
Ummmm, thanks for that heads up...makes me think twice about testing this any further now...
hi mates, as requested by u, i m postin' some screenshots of this application. In the meanwhile, i discover'd one more function. When u turn the bluetooth on, and go to the traditional file explorer(the default one), if u right-click on any file, it will give u an option to send via bluetooth, the best part, there will be a drop-down menu, for the paired bluetooth devices, so that u don't need to make a search again.
And i agree with Dakshithaw, i myself mention'd that i got this app. listed in the FTP of this site, felt like posting a link. Bcuz a novice user wouldn't serarch for BROADCOM STACK, would try for bluetooth manager or something like this. Bluetooth light workin perfectly fine here, however it runs out of memory and fails to start sometimes(1 in 10 for me), so i reboot and work it out. It's well integrated in the OS, This bluetooth manager opens automatically when u click on the icon of bluetooth . It's actually worth using it, bcuz of its utilities, interface etc. Adieu..
excuse me

Hi mate, initially, when i wuz postin' this application, i actually tried to upload it, in this thread itself. But it didn't work, it prompts "upload failed" i zipped it as well, but that didn't help either. So i gave up, and uploaded it to Rapidshare.
Just now, after seeing your reply, i tried to upload it again, no go. In fact, i discovered that i am unable to upload any file above 2MB. So, i have sent an e-mail to the webmaster, awaiting his reply..
You can either wait, or PM me your e-mail address, i ll mail it to you. The Rapidshare link is workin' fine, i tested it again.

Caused major problems with my bluetooth radio - in fact messed it up pretty bad... TomTom stopped working, uninstalled this and TT started working again...but BT radio seems irreparably damaged I can't pair up with my car anymore...plus I've lost all sound! Oh man, I'm having to do a hard-reset now...
I tried this on Hermes with WM6. I had it maybe couple of days installed and i didn`t use any bluetooth accessories with it. Today i tried to unistall this program and it caused a hard reset! After unistalling device reboots and after splash screen there was only white screen. Several soft resets or removing battery didn`t help. Hard reset solved this...
i found this bluetooth manager also on LG KS20
Faced the music..
Sorry for the trouble, mates. In fact, i never felt like uninstalling it, nor do i have GPS, so didn't know the consequences. However, after readin' ur posts, i uninstalled it and faced it. The sounds went off, even mp3 files were comin' corrupt. Had to do a hard reset to resolve. But i ll have to install it back, b'cuz it works, as an utility for me. However, i ll just put a warning msg to take a prior backup.

Even i do get this msg sometimes, this happens when there are too many applications running in the background, already. Either close the idle applications, or do a Soft-reset. Try to run it after a soft reset, it would work.

Does'nt seems to work on my htc touch !
Even after removing the soft, BT doesn't work anymore... May be must try an hard reset or flash again the phone.
Otherwise, the soft is in german language, where/how to modify/find the english version ?
Best regards.

Quite a cool I phone looking app. How hard would it be for someone to make this a panel?
I guess really the question should be... Why don't you just buy an iPhone? My guess is this is just a today screen plugin, similar to TF3D. If that is the case, running it should be about the same at TF3D on the X1. I know some people in the Diamond forum were trying to get ifonz to work.
Jep, same thought! Go und lock yourself up with an iPhone...
i really dont get why anyone on earth likes the iphone. but whatever.
Well why not a iphone lookalike panel when the tf3d seems very popular,it´s all about to replace/complement the panels we already have onboard as i see it..
iphone is a nice phone and i cant say i havent put iphone like apps on my 6800 and thought about it for my tp but i thought again and whats the point i may as well have just gotten an iphone. its probably best to get apps from iphone (if at all possible) instead of the flashy looking ui. it gets boring after a while. not taking anything away from the people that develop those programs because its something i cant do and it amazes me. so keep up the good work but just not for me at least not for extended periods.
you could ask the author
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656&highlight=ifonz
Does this install as a Today plugin or an app itself?
Oops... found the answer. It ain't a Today plugin. So guess it somehow replaces the today screen? And that why TS's there asking about if anyone can convert it to a panel?
I find this is a discussion worth picking up again! so has anybody put some thought to it?
I tried the latest version of ifonz ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656) and it works pretty good with full landscape support and loads of customisation options.
Now ... I know nothing about programming .. but is it hard to make it come up as a panel?
The way it works now it is an .exe which u need to start manually (similarly to the T3D before the panel .cab came out) ... so what does it take to get a panel .cab for this little app?
I thought about contacting the author but then again I dont see why this should be his business ... he probably doesnt even have the Xperia!
So any ideas on this?
thx
I'd think the one most able to come up with a panel for this at the moment should be the guy who did the panel for TF3D.
I tried installing the ifonz using the .exe but they mentioned about throwing an exception?
I've searched almost everywhere for an answer but have yet to find one. I still can't install iFonz on the XPERIA. I was wondering, do I download the files on the phone itself then run the exe (if that's possible) OR run it on the desktop/laptop with the XPERIA connected via activesync which I have been trying to do. But on my Laptop, I get an error that it has failed and on my desktop it says something about an exception.
no u are supposed to install it on the xperia ... maybe u r doing the same mistake that I did the first time I tried to install ... this may sound stupid but u need to copy the .zip onto your xperia and then actually extract the files before u can install them!
Reason I m saying this is because when u click on .zip after u copied it onto your xperia it will automatically change folder and show u a list of all the files that are in that .zip.
intuitively u would probably click the .exe right away however if u do this u get an error saying that the file cannot be installed for unknown reasons etc. if you however, extract the files to a folder of your choice then u can click the .exe and the installation works just fine
alternatively, u may just be needing to install microsoft net framework 3.5 which u can download for free on the microsoft website .. if you search this forum u will find a link to it ..
sorry for late reply, hope that helps
Ah thank you! Yes, I have installed Microsoft Net Framework (I did do my research haha). I will try it out now!
Okay, now that I have ifonz I realised that I don't like it. Worst of all, when I switch on my phone, it starts off in the ifonz page. And so I deleted the ifonz folder. But now, when I switch on my phone, they mention an error as they are unable to find ifonz.exe. How do I get rid of this annoying pop up?
