Wizard utils on 8525 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Okay, I know the 8525 just came out and I know I have lots of other thigns to do with $400, but I figure I can get $200 for an unlocked 8125 on craigslist so I am considering upgrading. I have been reading a bunch but I have some questions about some programs/utilities that make life a lot easier on the 8125 and whether they work with the 8525
1. Eten skin with Smart dialer ( i think this would work on any WinMo but not sure)
2. Today plugin to allow photo speedial on today screen
3. Smartskey (allows to really close programs, assign buttons and makes one handed use real easy.

They will all work fine mate

frustrating today screen on wizard... why no "new"

In my MDA Compact (magician) - I used to have a "new" button which allowed me to write a new: note, appointment, task, reminder, phatpad, phatnote etc...
This is missing on the Wizard - and now to make a new note - I need to first start the note application and then click on new note...
Why??? windows mobile was supposed to make life easier - and in reality I have yet ot see any improvement - interface wise...
I can say though that the device is VERY stable.
urrrrgh...
I am just guessing at the "why", but having the buttons this way allows them to perform different tasks in different applications. I also loved the NEW button for creating tasks and appts. But I have other Today apps that let me do the same thing, so it has just been a matter of training myself to find better ways.
Some apps let you create a shortcut to a new item and this coul dbe mapped to the "new" and improved buttons.
OK, I am interested to know which plugin you are using?

10 things i shoul do when i get me Wizard !

hi, i am getting my HTC wizard, hopefuly, tomorrow morning. can you tell me if there are any things, apps ect i should instal/do on my new wizard?? cheers, matt
A few things:
- Get something to make the OK/Close button *actually close* things rather than just minimise them. Various apps including vBar, Magic Button, etc. I use Smartskey by Water: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060
- Get a free registry editor (I use PHM Registry Editor), & have a look on this forum for different tweaks to do. Or, get a free tweaking app, like http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 . Or a paid-for tweak app, like tweaks2k2.
- Get a nice big 2GB miniSD card.
- Get TCPMP media player, handles divx, xvid, & more. http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
- Get PocketDivxEncoder for your PC, to shrink videos down to PDA size http://divx.ppccool.com/
- Get a launcher app, like SBSH's iLauncher, or SPB's Pocket Plus. I use iLauncher.
- Get something to replace the crappy buit-in Calendar & Tasks plug-ins on the Today screen, like SBSH's Pocketbreeze.
- Have a general search of this forum for stuff.
1) purchase and install [or have someone install] a screen protector
2) purchase a better case [optional]
3) purchase a better stylus [optional]
4) purchase a memory card [go big if you intend to use the wiz as your media device]
5) if it doesn't have the latest ROM update it.
6) download AS and sync with your desktop/notebook.
7) browse over the manual for some info.
8) install software to improve your experience. install only what you need and will be using.
9) when you have it setup and synced do a backup
10) ENJOY!
- Make a Rom Upgrade to 2.1x (can't say it often enough :lol: ) for more speed and stability
- Brando Display Protector
- 2GB MiniSD
- ActiveSync 4.1 or newer (i think v 4.0 is delivered, it's realy sh**)
- register mail2web live service for free hosted exchange
- WMStorage for using the Wizard as a USB Stick on Computer w/o activesync
- TomTom 5 for Navigation
- Bluetooth GPS Mouse for Navigation
- If you are a network freak, you need vxutil

firstmost and absolutely - get a backup app. SPB Backup, Sunnysoft backup, Sprite Backup are some of your options there. Quite possibly one of the first things you'll want to get - do a backup right after you set things up the way you like them (and installed maybe a few apps), so you can always go back to that clean slate without having to re-enter/tweak everything after a hard reset (hopefully you'll never have to, but odds are that you will). After that, regular backups to help protect your data.
Edit: actually - check what ROM is on it, check what ROMs are available, and upgrade to the latest (unless there's good reason not to) - or your 'clean slate' backup is going to be pointless after the ROM upgrade

Just to be clear - Upgrading an O2 Mini S with the latest O2 ROM won't void the warranty. Likewise for other flavours. This is jolly good thing to do.
Unlocking your O2 Mini S and flashing a, say, iMate ROM would.
Sorry to point out the bleedin obvious.
Wait, I don't think summitters' test ROM's (which is what I thought was being referred to) would be included. I'm sure that would void any Cingular or HTC warranty.

Will try to copy my tomtom files to the new mem card and test that?
Will order a screen protector
Will text all my m8s, just to show off
Will put me Nokia 3230 on eBay
Will look for a new case asI don't want the T mobile branding on it
(Any ideas ??????)
Finally I will continue to look and read posts on here and not forget to thank everybody for their help!

Do a search for omap :lol:
And get Sling Box Mobile. Of course you will need your own SlingBox or have access to a friends.
This will allow you to watch cable tv on your phone with the unlimited data plan.
What kind of screen protector is the correct type? What about a link to a decent case too?
Do you guys keep your wizards in a case or just keep it hanging around in your pockets? Worried about damaging the thing but getting it out of the case to answer a call is a tad annoying.

The best Screen Protector in the markt is "EXiM" there are two types of it, one is "Ultra Clear" and the other is "Ultra Protect".
I purchased "EXiM Ultra Protect" and it kicks the Brando's butt :lol:
Once after you install it, you won't notice it, and when you use your stylus to write, you can feel that you are writing on a paper.

timed profiles

My old basic nokia phone had a feature that I miss - the ability to set a ring profile to be active until a certain time. Is there an equivalent for the wizard (actually an O2 miniS)?
I've seen posts about PocketZenPhone which does it, but I just need this one function. I also don't particularly want to install the O2 plus stuff (although I don't know if it has that feature anyway).
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks,

Yeah, as Hanmin said, Pocket Zen Phone and Phonealarm both have this feature, but they also have a huge stack of other features I don't need (and more to the point, don't want to pay for). I tried both and they do look like excellent add-ons - just way more than I need.
PPC Profiles Pro, whilst not perfect, does close to what I need (and it's free). However, I'll see how it behaves over the next week or so and, who knows, may jump to one of the other apps if necessary.
Thanks again for all the suggestions. Much appreciated.

How can you add icons to the today screen?

Hi,
I have been using my vario II since December and intend to get rid of it when i can upgrade as windows mobile is really poor. I mean windows is bad enough on a pc let alone a phone!
Anyhow i just want to do something really simple, I would like to add large icons to my today screen for some programs i use a lot like IE and Salling clicker (so i dont have to keep going ot start). Am I missing something really basic or do i have to go through a load of tweaks to do it.
This is why windows mobile is so poor becuase it shouldnt be this difficult to do something basic.
Thanks
WM itself cannot do that. You'll need to install some other software. Try cLaunch.. if you are more adverturous try rlToday.
that is why i hate windows mobile, its not user friendly at all. I mean i just want to add some icons to my today screen, the problem with windows mobile it may offer extra features but its at the expense of ease of use.
e.g. phone profiles, silent etc if i want to activate them on a nokia i just press the on-off button
never mind, i knew what i was getting into when i bought a windows mobile device, when my upgrade comes around i will just get a normal phone and use the vario II as a bluetooth remote control.
Well, you may want to try using the SmartKey, which takes the left key, if you were to press and hold it, it will open the 'Start Menu', and using your D-pad, it is easy enough to open programs.
As for phone profiles, you can press and hold your 'Communication manager' button and it will go into silent mode. If rather than having 2 phone, you may want to try other programs like.. er.. the.. SPB Shell, that makes WM phone looks like normal phone.
to be fair i know i know how to use the phone, i mean all i want to do is change the icons on the today screen so i can just tap on them and load them! I mean its all well and good having 100s of functions but if you cant access them easily what is the point?
I really think people are crying out for devices which are easy to use and ready to go our of the box, not one where you have to make endless tweaks! Windows mobile is certainly not that, perhaps the new iphone will make a difference.
Well, for one thing, WM device has this 'Today' screen which is one of the unique thing that, other devices (e.g. Palm, iPhone) doesn't have. From my point of view and my usage pattern, I'd much prefer the Today screen than a launch pad.
SPB pocket plus or Mobile Shell will let you add icons to your today screen
hi thanks
i have downloaded spb pocket plus and it has allowed me to add the icons, can you just tell me what is better the shell or pocket plus and what are the drawbacks of pocket plus ? it reminds me of norton i.e. it has a massive footprint and wants to take over your whole system! I have tried to reduce it as much as i can.
I used the gprs monitor a few months back and it slowed my system and effected battery life.
thanks for your help though
cLaunch is less fancy, and small. . and free.
HTC home pluginn
The HTC home plugins (the one from the touch and the one from Kaiser) are not exactly what you are looking for but also can help you.
Those plugins change your today screen and add a TAB where you can put 9 favorite applications and launch them by a simple click on the screen, also gives you a contact tab that is usefull ...you can search for those pluggins in the WM6 section... for me it has worked fine.
Regards
the HTC home plug in is god awful ugly tho.
I thought the HTC Home plug was beautiful. I like the new one even more that has a tab for photo contacts! However, I don't use it on my phone because it seems to make everything take twice as long. Uninstalled it and my phone was zippy again. I use SPB Pocket Plus for icons on today screen and SPB Photo Suite for contacts on the today screen.

keep in mind that even with the advanced amount of funtions, they need to be organized somehow.
You also may want to look into PHM Tray Launch. You can have smaller icons placed in the system tray so access your favorite applications. (PM me if u want it, I can't upload it cause of the file extension)

*****NOOB WITH A JAMin***%#$%#$%$#%$#%$#%$#%$#%#

Hi guys,
Recently i have just purchased a brand new I-MATE jamin...i have been using it for over a week and have noticed a few things...
In the instructions manual it makes reference to some additional programs such as "skype" , "smart dialer" and "clearVUE pdf reader"....however when i recieved my phone, it did not come with these applications....any suggestions?
Also i have noticed that the included battery only lasts for MAX of 1 and a half days of normal usage...i dont use WIFI or BLUETOOTH often...just mainly use it as a phone..also the screen brightness is adjusted to the 2nd lowest scale...is the battery use normal ??? Also is it safe to buy one of those after market batteries from ebay as use it as a secondary battery????
Also i have read from various sources that the ROM of the jamin can be upgraded, although i have no idea how to do so..can anyone point me in the right direction? At the moment the specs of my JAMin are:
Rom version: 2.13.9.23 WWE
ROM date: 2/23/06
Radio version: 1_02.20.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.9
IPL: 2.13.0001
SPL: 2.13.0001
I have no clue as to what the numbers mean except for the ROM...can anyone please tell me what the other numbers such as IPL and SPL mean? Also can anyone suggest any ROMs??
Sorry for so many questions...i am truly a noob with a JAMin...
thanks guys
YOU NEED TO DO A LITTLE MORE READING AND A LITTLE LESS ASKING
just kidding.... welcome to the forum... No n00b bashing from me...
coz then I'd have to bash myself too
1. You can download skype from the skype website - try it if you have friends that use skype.
I haven't bothered as it takes a lot of CPU, and I think it can only use the headset or the speaker on the back of the phone.
You can download clearvue pdf reader, but I prefer adobe reader lite...
smartdial AFAIK is just what happens when you are typing a number to call, and the phone picks out matching contacts before you finish typing.
2. yeah, battery is lame. Go and live next door to a mobile phone transmitter, that will help
Seriously a lot of people get a spare battery, you could try underclocking the phone using "batterystatus", but then you will lose speed.
Make sure you have the power setting to turn off when not used (it still receives calls)
3. yes you can upgrade wm6 is shiny and new but there are bugs reported in pretty much every WM6 ROM so far.

this is the bootloader, this runs before Windows loads up.
Sometimes if there is a problem upgrading you can fix it by writing a new ROM in bootloader mode
from the wiki
(http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Prophet)
[one of the] ways to enter the bootloader on the Prophet:
Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camera + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and keep pressing camera button till appear the Boot Loader.)
This will start the bootloader, and red/green/blue colour bands will be displayed on the device.
Once the colour bands are displayed you can connect to the device via USB.

THanks for the reply triplejay,
As far as i know, my JAMin doesn't come with smartdialer at all!!! When i dial numbers, it doesnt match any of them before i finish typing!! Could this be due to the version of my ROM??
Also with regards to ROMs, is it better to upgrade to a newer ORIGINAL ROM (ie. a ROM date is made by I-MATE) or should I upgrade to one of the "aftermarket ROMs found on this website?

well, if you depend on your phone for work or anything, I'd suggest sticking with an official ROM for now. If you don't mind the odd bug*, then join the "aftermarket" club!
*e.g. bluetooth stereo headsets work with good quality on the newest ROMS, however every time I reset the phone I have to re-pair the headset with it.
Internet works well, good integration of Windows Live, however, sometimes after a reset I have to re-confirm the internet settings for it to work.
Those are the only two I've experienced with this ROM (TNT)
You might want to wait a bit, newer ROMS are coming I think, maybe without these bugs...
I attach an example of my today screen on WM6
Hi triple jay,
Your today screen looks totally different to mine...mine is still the original WM 5.0 screen...just wondering, did you make your today screen look like that by just installing the TNT ROM? Or do you have any other programs installed such as WISBAR..
Also after a week of use, i have noticed the BACK SPEAKER of my JAMin to distort occassionally when playing ringtones (set on the HIGHEST sound level)...is my speaker faulty???
Thanks for your help mate
Hi,
1. The lack of application could be due to lack of customization on your unit and it is just a generic wm5 rom. I would suggest a hard reset (not soft but hard reset) , then press the green send button to erase all the data on your handset. Then wait around 3 seconds after the reboot has finished and customization will commence.
2. The speaker most certainly sounds like it has problems, quite common and it will probably fail. They are cheap to purchase off ebay however installation is quite a bit of work.
Hi, regarding my today screen; no Wisbar, I just have Batterystatus installed, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751,
that's the bottom line u can see there
the rest came with the TNT ROM
The bit above batterystatus where it says "sync" is windows live,
then above that is the htc homeplug (part of the ROM) with custom icons (not made by me)!
Reading the forums, I think quite a lot of people have had troubles with the speaker...
but I just checked mine and it seems to distort a bit on the very loudest setting too, at least with MP3s.
Like grimmy said, installation of a new one is quite a bit of work though so prob. not worth it unless it dies completely....
Hi triplejay,
I have decided not to tamper around with my ROM just yet until i am familiar with the various available ROMs.
I have instead decided to install some today screen plugins such as wisbar,spb pocket plus etc etc . Do you have any suggestions of TODAY screen plugins that don't slow my JAMin down? I have heard that SPB slows the JAMin down and also has some program compatibility issues.
Thanks
Before I updated my ROM I used to use SPB mobile shell, and SPB pocket plus.
There's no denying they take up a lot of space on your device though,
Speed wise, any slowdown seemed negligable, but then I had overclocked from day 1 so that prob. helped.
I haven't tried the latest wisbar, but the older versions I did try seemed quite good. Might try the new version out actually.
There are some freeware alternatives;
claunch is an older one

Hi triplejay,
In regards to using SPB mobile shell, and SPB pocket plus, did you install these programs into your JAMin's phone storage memory or on the SD card? I have heard that installing programs into the phone's SD card causes the programs to run slower because the phone needs time to access the programs..and also how did these programs affect your memory?? used up alot of memory ?? Also would I still be able to set my own today backgrounds using these programs or can i only use the themes designed for these programs???
thanks for your help, your posts have been a lot of help to a newbie like myself

no problem
I don't think SPB mobile shell gives the option to install to SD card, it's possible with Pocket Plus but not recommended, even by SPB.
I remember reading the following on the SPB site,
and after that always installing stuff that involves the today screen or system to main storage...
We strongly recommend that you not install Spb Pocket Plus to a storage card because storage card drivers can be loaded with up to a 5 second delay after system restart and important files will not be available for loading. One other reason is that Spb Pocket Plus is a system utility and some of its components run in the background. If you remove the storage card Spb Pocket Plus will not be able to load its resources.
Click to expand...

...so the space they take up, is on the device and yes it is a fair amount of memory, maybe a fifth of available memory or something... (not sure)
you should be able to use your own pic for the background with all these I think,
the SPB extended themes for example, will set new system colours etc, with a matching background that you can change as normal.
Hi triplejay,
I have downloaded the trial versions of both SPB pocket plus and mobile shell and will install tonight and let you know how it goes...
Although i still have a couple of questions...
Backup programs such as SKTOOLS or sprite backup...should these be installed into the phone's SD card or the phone's memory ?? Also where should i install games????
Also does anyone know the date of the newest official ROM for the imate JAMin?? I have searched the imate site to no avail...
thanks guys
hey, JAMinGUY,
about the latest imate ROM, I wouldn't know, but looking at this blog post from menneisyys;
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in..._finding_identifying_the&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
and then checking ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/
leads me to believe that the newest available is :
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip
Could be wrong, just seems to make sense...
I would say definitely put games on the SD card, I've got my backup program (SPB backup) installed on SD too...
the only thing that I would be unsure of is SKtools, but it doesn't seem to run at startup, or run in the background,
so i would say it's probably OK to install to card as well.
...Unless if you did something like ran it off the card, then used it to format the card your running it off. That probably wouldn't be good, lol.
hey guys,
i have been using SPB POCKET PLUS AND SPB MOBILE SHELL (both installed in system memory) for a week now and have noticed some things....
the phone seems slower to respond to screen taps...and also when i lock the phone, sometimes i can't unlock it...i need to soft reset it....
triplejay, do u know of any programs similar to SPB POCKET PLUS that dont have these freezing issues???
cheers mate

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
unfortunately not really ...
if u haven't already tried rltoday though, that could be worth a go.
Resco explorer comes with a today plugin, but it's a bit gay, just a few icons, but resco explorer itself is quite good, try the demo if u havent already....
and a couple of threads below this one you will find the htc homeplug (for wm5), personally that homeplug together with batterystatus have filled all my own shortcut related needs....
