How to remove the bottom tray (Comm Mgr&Battery) on 8125

The method used for the K-Jam and the 9100 doesn't work...i.e. removing init launch from the \windows\startup folder because it doesn't exist.
Any ideas on the 8125? I don't need that bottom tray there.

be sure it's \windows\startup not \windows\start up.

no, I mean that the init tray.lnk doesn't exist in the startup folder.

The link simply points to "\Windows\Init_Tray.exe" without any trailing options, maybe your rom executes this from the registry rather than using a link?

There isn't a value for Init_Tray anywhere in the Windows Folder.
All I have in the windows\startup folder are:
BkpMgrDeleter
OmapClock
poutlook
sddaemon
Services
smartskey_707

try...
-load phm traylnch
-select enable tray launch
-soft reset
-de-select enable tray launch and it will not appear as today plug-in
this will allow you to add it back as needed and also let's you add programs to it.

I actually fixed it by using Memmaid and disabling init_tray.lnk

I tried both methods (memmaid and try_lnch), none worked... still have the task tray

Just in case anyone is confusing the battery meter that appears at the top of the screen on certain ROMs and the icons that appear at bottom of the today screen... This thread is referring to the stuff at the bottom, see HyperMalac's screenshot...

Just goto \Windows\Startup and remove InitTray.lnk

It worked for me... I did a soft reset after moving the Init_tray file to my storage card and poof - no more tray...

hm, I thought removing it from Autostart should be enough...
But, I have a init_tray.exe and a init_tray.lnk in my Windows dir, both are set to hidden and System, when I try to change that with TotalCommander an try to move them, I can't, and the permissions are back to hidden/system again... quite protected it seems...

Worked for me on my mini s, just did what Keitaro said: Just goto \Windows\Startup and remove InitTray.lnk - sorted!

OH, don't forget to soft reset!

Guys, they are all in the registry as well. However, if you remove Comm Manager from the tray (using registry method only?), the Comm Manager stops working completely.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\ScreenRotate]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000

Enable your file browswer to view system files, then you will see the hidden file init_tray in the windows\startup folder

REQ: Zoom SMS from E-Ten G500

I was wondering if anybody has been able to extract the "Zoom SMS" out of the E-Ten G500?
It should work on Windows Mobile 5.0. Don't know why the screenshot looks like WM2003se :?
Here's a screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You should be able to view SMS messages larger than normal. There is also an option to reply or call directly from this screen

i want me too
nobody ?
thanks

Wonderful. It would be much profit to be able it to have.
Thanks

it works on wm5 because i had got a eten m600 and i had zoom sms

:?:

I know it works on WM5.0
I was just wondering if anybody has been able to extract it from the E-ten ROM to share it as a plugin for other user as well

I thought it might be time to bump this topic
Does anybody found this nice application?
I don't know how to extract it from a ROM so I was hoping somebody else could do it?

there is one somewhere buzzdev.net... :shock:
try on...
http://buzzdev.net/component/option...view/id,19559/catid,26/limit,15/limitstart,0/
there is some aplication extracted from eten in there.... :roll:

Great tip mwilmar!! You are my hero of the day

i don't find zoomsms :-(

Actually you can find the file HERE.
Problem is however that there seems to be a file called "Scenarios" that does not work on my Wizard, but it's loaded on startup. I can't seem to delete this 'cause it's a part of the phone program
Maybe anyone has a solution for this? Tried to open it with WinCE Cab Manager v1.1. But It doesn't seem to be able to read it..

Attached - simply repacked. You should be able to open with WinCE Cab Manager v1.1
---------- [EDIT] -------
[open scenarios.exe with reshacker, delete all(!) resources, then run strings.exe from http://www.sysinternals.com]
Probably you need:
\windows\TTSMgr.dll
\windows\LexMgrDLL.dll
Probably you need some registry settings.

I already found a way to work around it
This is what I did to make this work:
- Delete Scenarios.lnk from Start Menu
- Change the following registry values to '0'
HKLM\ControlPanel\ETEN\ScenariosOption\
Enable=0 ShowIcon=0
- Delete Scenarios.exe from the Windows directory.
TnX for the repacked CAB file!
---EDIT---
Is anybody able to remove the following parts from the CAB file:
- QLink files
- CallFilter
- Scenarios
In the latest CAB file I've noticed that there are no registry stettings?
When I delete al the parts myself It says that the installation failed...

Yes. There is no registry settings.
Extract original CAB with winrar and take a look inside _setup.xml

Since it has been quite some time I thought it was time for a new challenge :lol:
Does anybody know how to isolate the SMS part of this programm? Because when I use the programm it also uses a dial history programm. I just want to use one on my device

I like ZoomSMS but im using WM2003..... can anyone break the code.... ??

nobody apps standalone ?
thanks

baniaczek and mccune,
I know it's been awhile since this thread was discussed but I was wondering if I use the cab attached, will it work with Helmi's 1.4 Vanilla rom straight away or do I need to do some tweaking as mentioned by mccune?

it has just been ported for the prophet, look at the Touch X Rotor edition Xk1

hi
i have installed ZoomSMS but it dosnt "pops up" if SMS comes in. On my Eten M600 with ZoomSMS buildin the new SMS pops up and i can read it without any tab on the screen. On my Orbit2(HTC Touch Cruise) i hve only the zoom sms symbol in the screen wenn sms received.

Modify Cabs

Hi,
I have a cab file of Wm5torage which is asking about restart or not after installation, the problem is that i put this file in my extended rom, to make it installed after a hard reset.
The probleme is the question of restart or no, it hangs the installation.And I have to reboot it myself.
So i would like to know how to avoid this question by modifying the Cab.
Thanks for your futur answers

You can use MSCEInf (http://preview.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1519) to see what is inside a cab. Then you can repackage it yourself.
Cheers
Mark

Actually, it's not that simple in this case.
I was hoping the author of the program might see this post and answer you, but let me give it a shot for now.
The reset is done by the cabs setup.dll (it may have a different name inside the cab). Using MSCEInf markvan mentioned or CE Cab Manager (there is a demo version that will run 15 times) you can remove this dll from the cab. Trouble is it may contain other functionality (like reg settings) needed during the installation so the app won't install properly without it.
Sorry.

MSCEInf and SetupDLL.dll
Yes, i have omitted in the last version published of MSCEInf to extract the setup DLL, but the name of the setup DLL in the cab is always ".999". So, for now you can extract it by Winzip or Cabextract.
If there is no file with this extension, there is not setup DLL.
But in the tab : Generalities, you find the name of the setup DLL if it exists.
Future version of MSCEInf (vesion 1.4) will extract the setup DLL. This new version will also do these things :
- Drag and Drop from the Tab Files to the Explorer.
- Context Menu on Files in the Tab to open it with associated application or with Notepad.
- Use Names Folder for extracting.
- read also _setup.xml and do the same as for traditional INF and shows all things in the cab. It also rebuilds the traditional Inf from the XML.

when i use cabs in ext rom which require feedback from the user
and it dont respond to touchscreen i found that
i can just use the action button to choose which answer it should be

Hi,
I extracted the dll and used reshack to edit it but i just see 2 messages in
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And i don't think that just remove the restart message will solve my prob.
If you have any other idea...
Bye

Dll resources have nothing to do with its activities.
The only way to replace it is to know exactly what it does either by asking the author or by viewing the source code (if available).
My advice is this: try installing without the dll. If the app works, then you can dump the dll all together, if not try contacting the program author for help.

Post the cab - i will have a go at modifying it for you - i think its the setup.xml that needs changing.
EDIT managed what you asked (omitted setup.dll and modified setup.xml)- can get rid of the destination dialog as well if you like assuming like me you always install to \program files\wm5torage. Just need to know what version you use.

hi,
thanks for help.I'm using the 1.71 of wm5torage.How to post the file?
bye
herc. 8)

Hi - i use 1.7 - if you want 1.71 you add it as an attachment to your post. It works as you want - do you want no destination dialog as well? I am at work at the moment - will post the modified cab tonight

Modified cab attached - its most up to date version 1.72.
mods are:
1. No setup.dll so no request to restart device (not required anyhow)
2. Installs shortcut to start menu\program files rather than start menu\accessories
3. Installs straight to \program files\wm5torage rather than having a destination dialog.

Many thanks for your help
Bye

The Best Way to compare Old & New Registry?

Suggestions welcome!
Have you ever wonder, especially after you installed a new software, what are the registry that are modified?
1. Before install, study CAB file?
2. After install, check manually?
3. Have both Old and New Registry copied and use PC's FC.EXE?
4. Use text editor to open both Old & New Registry files in PC at window maximise mode, use ALT TAB and capture the difference with the Best Camera (your eyes) and Best Image processor (your brain)?
Here is my stupid way of doing it.
5. Have both Old and New Registry copied and use PC's M$ Winword, Document Compare feature.

Hey, Thanks.
Learn a new thing again today.

I also recommend, as far as desktop-based tools are concerned, windiff.
I've even written a tutorial on using it: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=215073

Perl
This perl script will diff two textual registry files and show the differences.
(hmm no .pl allowed, rename from .txt)

Can't we just open the cab and see what it will add to the registry?

Lol, despite responding to this thread I've never read it
Yes, 100% agree with cellneuron. Decompile the cab, or ideally use WinCE Cab Manager to see what registry changes it will make.
V

hehe. What? Haven't you got time to read all of the threads each day?
anyway, yup, can't argue with that technique either. it never hurts to have too many tools at your disposal though.
Personally, I just found that reading the cab file registry entry format wasn't as clear as simply extracting the keys in .reg format. but that's just my preference.

The problem I've found with just looking in the cab is that sometime the exe files make registry and file changes too. So my vote goes with ssnap and idiff.

In the past I used regdiff and registry workshop.

but as the geeks point out, if I was making an installer I would probably hard code some of the registry entries, so won't be reflected in Cab manager etc. So use a standard registry dump and windiff them, or use ssnap.

Can't install it...need a newer version of .NET Compact Framework...I'll download v2.0 and give it another try.

Great app
Can you please add the functionality of being able to specify a directory and install all of the CABs contained within it?
Code:
public void ProcessCABsDir(string sourcedir)
{
// Install CAB's
try
{
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(sourcedir);
foreach (FileInfo files in dir.GetFiles("*.CAB"))
{
Process inst = Process.Start(sourcedir + "\\" + files.Name, "");
inst.WaitForExit();
}
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show(
"Some files were not installed",
"Error:",
MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation,
MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button1
);
}
//End of CAB's
}
You could then place this in the ExtROM and get to execute on hardreset.
Happy to work with you on this one.

That is an excellent idea and I'm certainly planning to implement that in the near future!

Now how about making it part of the ExtROM of a ROM the the app get launched follwoing a hardreset?
The same idea as the autorun.exe HTC provide in all operator devices?

Good Works
Why not to integrate into this tweaker, the possibility of closing definitively the programs with the touch OK? It allows among others to use a TyTN with only touches and keyboard. Today, the touch OK reduces them
At the moment I found only another tweaker which makes it (PQzII), but that would be practical to use only one
