Whenever I install a program on my SD card, sometimes the icon of that program is not being displayed in either the 'start' menu or in the 'programs' folder. Instead of the correct icon a blue-white icon is being displayed. The program however can be started. I know this is a minor issue, but annoying nevertheless
Installing programs on the Extended Rom causes no problem at all, but since the extended rom a fairly small I'd like to use my SD card as well.
Can anyone pinpoint me if this a bug or a way how to prevent this from happening?
thanks!

Thanks for posting this issue, I have the same problem. :? I didn't find a solution so far, hopefully somebody tweaked this already. Let's see...
I put smartskey and omap onto my mda...it wasn't working properly so I uninstalled it....
there are no visible signs of the programs on my device but everytime my device wakes up or powers on i get this:
Notification Error
Cannot execute "windows/start/menu/newfoldr/smarskey.exe"
then behind it i get
Notification Error
Cannot execute "smartskey/snartskey.exe"
I just want this to be off of my device since it has been so much trouble. Can someone please help me figure out how to get rid of this without having to do a hard reset?
\windows\startup
remove it from there...
and also remove the smartskey folder where you installed it from...
i did that...nm i ended up doing a hard reset. I deleted the program and folder...there were no visible traces...idk what happened
I had this problem too. Extremely frustrating especially since I had removed all traces (so I thought) of smartskey.
Turns out, Smartskey leaves behind a notification message that gets queued up even if you remove the program and it's shortcut from the startup menu. You need a program like MemMaid to clear the notification message.
Annoying Smartskey issue, PLEASE help

I also have this problem on a Wizard and a Prophet. Even though you remove 'all traces' of Smartskey it keeps coming up wuth the queued notification message. Does anyone have a fix for this?
I tried using MemMaid demo about a week ago but it wouldn't install on the Wizard. I might try it on the Prophet. Can anyone confirm that if I buy the full MemMaid software it will remove this annoying issue i.e. does it run & install on WM5 XDA's?

MemMaid is WM5 compatible. I use it on my Wizard without problem.
EDIT:
Re uninstalling smartskey - I thought there was a specific way to uninstall it mentioned in the smartskey thread? Does this not work?

Just tried MemMaid (demo) on the Prophet. It cleared the problem straight away. Went back to the Wizard and MemMaid also worked on that, both machines now clean of the Smartskey notification message. Now that I know how to remove the message I might play around with Smartskey some more. The Smartskey concept is quite good but it seems to interface badly with Omapclock (might just be Microsoft's buggy notification software).
MemMaid also looks a good utility for $15. I think originally I might have been trying to run the MemMaid (installation) exe from the Wizard rather than installing over ActiveSync.
hi, i use smartskey and omap together and they both work beautifully with each other, my device is quicker thanks to omap clock and the wizard is excellent as a one handed device thanks to the shortcuts it creates just like the prophet device where it creates ur soft keys to be the start button and OK button as well.....its like having 2 extra keys just like the prophet.......you can also use the software Check Notifications 1.9 by ScaryBearSoftware to get rid of the smartskey.exe from the notifications queue......
MemMaid v. Smartskey
I installed Smartskey, and it was unhappy. Then the bloody "Notification Error..." started popping up consistantly.
Reinstalled Smartskey, no help.
Uninstalled, No Help.
Looked it up here, Installed MemMaid
Problem Solved.
BTW- Reinstalled Smartskey and OmapClock and they work wonderfully. My initial eror was installing to the SD Card and not main memory.
Thanks for the fix.
Everytime i want to enter an url opera closes itself. I only have to press the first letter of the adress and opera closes.
Anyone got an idea how to fix this?
Consider yourself happy. On my Qtek 9000 / HTC Universal, Opera displays all URLs and HTML form content in a strange character set. It looks somewhat like chinese.
It seems that Opera is just not ready for prime time yet.
I'm waiting for MultiIE for WM 2005 - it worked extremely well on my older WM 2003 SE machine (a Qtek 9090 / HTC Blue Angel).
Another solution to add multi-window browsing is SPB Plus which works on WM 2005, but it's a lot less than perfect - it's Pocket IE integration makes Magic Button lock up, and we all know we can't live without Magic Button.
just copy the arial.ttf from a windows pc to your pocket pc's \windows\fonts directory and your problem is solved!
but whats with my problem??
What ROM are you using?
first i was using the newest vodafone rom, now i am using the newest imate rom.
this happens with both roms!
from time to time I have the same problem.
don't know what is the cause, but I found a way to solve it: just clear your history (menu - tools - settings - advanced - clear history)
thank you, but that didnt solved my problem.
i made a hard-reset some minutes ago. now it works fine.
i think there was a corrupt system file, wich i restored everytime i made a hard reset before.

I had the same problem. It was made by cookies and addressbar history. Best thing you can do deleting cookies (and history, ,cache, temporary files..). This should resolve your problem. It resolved mine. You can use for that SKtools or MemMaid. Or you can clear those from opera options menu and delete all files from \Application Data\Opera\cache4 folder.
I hope it helps.
(I had same thing happened with PocketIE, and the same thing resolved.)
So this is a popular program for the Palm OS: NotifyMe! which basically is a little configurable application that would play a sound and/or vibrate if your SD card ejected.
I know a lot of people who "accidently" shoot their card out when pulling their device from a holster.
If it could have the features of "NotifyMe!" and be WM5 compatible it could be a very popular program.
TIA

Hi,
I saw your request 2 days ago, and I said why not! I checked the GUI of the NotifyMe application for Palm and I decided to make one for PPC.
Installation:
1) just unrar the file and copy the exe on your ppc (it may be installed on the sd card and launched from there, it works when sd card is removed, but don't select a music file from the sd card, no sound will be played of course):wink:
2) launch the exe. The first time it will install the config control panel applet and launch it.
3) just configure the notif application and start it.
Useful infos:
This program has been tested on my ppc (see signature), on WM2005 ppc emulators and WM2003SE emulators.
There is no builtin sounds as the one for the Palm, but it can play different music type files like midi, wave, mp3 and wma files.
The app has been UPXed, so it is very small.
The notification stops either by pushing on the stop button or by putting the sd card back into its slot.
Enjoy,
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: feedback appreciated...
Here is the app and some screenshots:
Thanks .Fred!!! :wink:

Hey Man,
Still living ?!?! :lol:
It's a long time now! :wink:
Greetings,
.Fred
Ha Ha Ha..
Yesssss , I am here.
Now I am using Blue Angel.
So I'm here these days.
But still have a look at Buzzdev.
Nice to meet you here.
:wink:
I've tried it.
It works.
If I choose "Show message and Vibrate and Play sound", it doesn't vibrate and play wav as I choose.
I choose Alarm1.wav which is in ROM.
It only pops up sound and shows message on the today screen, no vibration and no sound.
But if I choose "Show message and Play sound" or "Show message and vibrate",it works fine.
I use BA WM5 AKU3.2 ROM(Helmi 1.3.2)
Thanksss.

You're right Vivi, when I make the test, it works, but when it should be done by the app, it doesn't...
Ok I will investigate this!
Ok, it's done, stupid of me! :x
Version 1.1 is available now...
Thanks for the feedback!
.Fred
Thanks again .Fred.
The new version works completly!!!

btw, just for info purposes:
- How would one remove the entry from the Settings tab to configure the program?
- I don't think this is working as it should on the Treo 700wx, but that is probably due to Palm's modifications of the OS. Basically, it only works when the device is powered on. If the device is in standby it doesn't "wakeup the device".

- it is possible, but tricky.
The control panel applet shown on the Settings/Personal Tab can be found in /windows/NotifyMeCpl.cpl. The trick would be to change the extension .cpl by .dll then open the notifyme.exe in an hex editor and replace notifymecpl.cpl by notifymecpl.dll.
To configure the program, you will need then to launch /windows/ctlpnl.exe notifymecpl.dll
I hope it's clear. :roll:
- I don't know how it works on a Treo, but I just use the standard notification api... On my ppc, whenever I pull the SD card out of its slot, the device wakes up... If you want I can try to add this functionality but I'm not sure if it will work. Maybe the program won't receive the notification that the sd card was retrieved.
Cheers,
.Fred
dotfred,
Actually, I just meant how to remove the control panel applet (my sentence was a bit garbled!) e.g. if I just wanted to remove the program from my device.
In that case, is it just a matter of deleting /windows/NotifyMeCpl.cpl ?
As far as the Treo, don't worry about it for now. Palm did lots of trickery (for the better actually) such as changing registry entries so most "tricks" don't work now.
Once the 750v comes out for you GSM users, I'm sure more about how the OS is orientaited and organized will come out. Then it might be easier for us to nail down the problem (I unforutnately don't know enough to be of much help!) :lol:
very sweet, however i just tried out the program and am having a small issue. after i ejected my SD card the alarm worked as it should, i turned it off and reinserted my SD card and now i have a new "Storage Card2" on my device all my programs are on "Storage Card2" instead of my original "Storage Card" can't rename the file either??? anybody with a suggestion would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance
1. delete "Storage card"
2. rename "Storage Card2" to "Storage Card" on pdaphone, if it doesnt work, try to activesync with PC and rename it on pc
trying... trying...trying,,,
i cannot delete the folder it has the temp internet files and i get an error trying to delete it. same with rename???? all my programs are on the storage card so now nothing works URGHHHHH!!!!
any other suggestions?
thanks
i have the same problem few days ago, dont remember actually how i fix it.
1. try to fix it on pdaPhone
2. activesync with pc and fix it on pc
or try total commander..
http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm
if u still cant fix it, do a backup of your pdaphone and copy the backup file to your pc, then do a hardreset and try again

If you just want to remove thr program from the device, just delete the /windows/notifymecpl.cpl and delete the notifyme.exe whereever you put it on the pda.
If you want to clean the registry as well, delete the entries under
-HKCU/Software/FdcSoft/NotifyMe
-HKCU/ControlPanel/SoundCategories/NotifyMeCat
-HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/NotifyMeSound
Cheers,
.Fred

Try using the memory card reader.
Hey Whats up....i wus playing around with dialpad skins for my phone and for tha hell of it i installed a .cab for a "video" button on my dialing screen...i dont have 3g or anything i juss thought it would b a nice look....anyway...i soft re-setted my phone and now it just does tha whole t-mobile start up screen then "windows mobile"......then restarts again....cant seem to get it past any of those screens cause it juss keeps restarting....if any1 could help me out i would appreciate it...i really dont wanna do a hard reset
take ur memory card, you probably have something installed on ur memory card that's causing the loop.
Try using a file explorer (like resco or total commander)
and go into your Windows directory and rename a files called
omap850_sdhc.dll into omap850_sdhc.dll.old then soft reset your phone and it should start working fine.
this happens to me all the time, it only happens to me when i start messing with HTC home plug in. only way i found to stop the loop is do a hard reset. never tried removing the memory card in case any program in the card was causing the loup, ill keep that in mind next time this happens to me.
I can practically guarantee that the solution I posted will fix your problem if it ever comes up again
you are a lifesaver my dude...thanks so much...i was gonna lose all my numbers wit tha hard reset becuase i kept forgeting to sync my contacts on my comp but this worked perfect...made my fukin day lol...thnx again....1

I have a startup issue. Have to remove the card while soft-reset. Works fine once in WM6 and I can put card back in.
I don't have that omap850 file in my windows directory... any idea?
you need to use a different file explorer (resco, total commander) instead of the file explorer that comes with WM because it won't show .DLL or any other type of system files.
Awesome, got Total Commander. Works like a charm, no more pulling the card out!
Since you seem on the up and up with the Wing...
Any hidden files/temp crap that is filling up my device? I only have 5mb on my device and really not very many programs installed on it at all, my program files folder is only 6mb.
Thanks again for your assistance, much appreciated.

There's alot of **** filling up your wing that you dont need. haha. Are you still running the stock rom ? If so I'd suggest upgrading to a new one... personally, I'd reccommend ITJE's work.
ITJE's - Touch-IT 4.4
&
KEYBOARD FIX
I was considering Touch-IT - but for some ungodly reason they removed Internet Sharing!!! What the hell would anyone do that for? It's free laptop internet.
I also need exchange to work, live messenger and whatever else. I just can't help but think it will be daunting as I got my cube configured and everything. I'm curious though... does the wing run faster with Touch-IT?
Also says (I'm looking at 4.4 here) - that the Today items are disabled (can you re-enable??) and Adobe Reader? Why remove that? I use it all the time...
Ugh, lol... this is why I am swaying away from Touch-IT... but really, does it do that much performance wise or just free up some space? Because besides the phone being a bit slow, I got it rock solid config'd and it's heavily modified.
My only suggestion would be try out all the Roms and see what you think.
Personally, I'm a big advocate of ITJE's work.. You can install a cab for adobe ... I'm sure there's something for the internet sharing cab somewhere.
other idea
tried the above solution to no avail, so I did some more testing. found that what triggered it on my device was adding additional apps to the tray launch.
just thought i'd share hope it helps
Awesome. That's good to know.
But do you really think using these ROM's will speed up the device at all? Or just simply create more storage space...
The Roms definitely make the device faster.
The new TouchIT 4.4 is the fastest rom I've ever had on my device... and I've had the priviledge to have seen some of the things that ITJE is working on, and let's just say you should be extremely anxious to see what's next to say the least.
I'd love to use Touch IT, but I'm still very weary of the internet sharing. I can't seem to find the cab for it and again, what in the world would compel someone to remove unlimited internet capabilities from the ROM????
I'm reading through all the posts, and everyone ignores the posters who ask about internet sharing, kind of strange.... Is there some conspiracy I'm unaware of or something???
I compiled an InternetSharing cab for those of you looking for it.
