Hi All,
Well I've kicked off my first windows mobile project with a progam I call "WordNetCE". If anyone is familiar with Princeton University's program called WordNet you will know you can use it as a brilliant dictionary/thesaurus, amongst other things that are beyond a normal human's intelligence.
One thing I've found lacking for Pocket PC is a decent free dictionary/thesaurus, so I've set out to make one based upon WordNet which is free to distribute from Princeton. A person named Malcolm Crowe did the original .NET port for WordNet 1.6, so I modified it to work with the new WordNet 2.0 dictionary, as well as with the Pocket PC platform (it wasn't all copy & paste...).
It's free to download from http://www.ebswift.com/PocketPC/WordNet/.
Note though that I have only just barely kicked this project off, but the dictionary side of things is operating. You will find much of the other functionality isn't working, but will come online soon.
Please check it out and start giving me some feedback. Thanks.
Just fixed up a lot more of the functionality - it's more useable compared to what it was before if anyone had a chance to look. A couple of buttons are still not complete, as with most of the main menu, but it can do about 20 times more than what it could this morning.
Look very promising!
Just one question: Is it mandatory to store the WordNet database onto a storage card, or can I store it on internal RAM too?

At the moment it's mandatory, but there's no reason why I can't add an option. Not many people will be able to use main memory because the database is ~over~ 30 meg!

I wonder why? I'm using the T-Mobile 4.01.16 ROM on an XDA 1 and installed the CAB with no problems. Are you using an XDA 2? I'm not sure if there's any difference with the CAB installers between XDA1/2, or maybe there's corruption in the download file, I'll check tomorrow. VS.NET outputs CAB's for all the difference PPC processors, so I'll put them up ASAP to cover other devices than the XDA1.
Thanks for the feedback
Here's a screenshot that's also on the website :

I have the same problem, ERROR="\storage card\wordnetce_ppc[1].arm.cab" is not a valid Windows CE Setup file. I look forward to your fix. Thanks.

I'm really sorry about that, my download algorithm had a response.end, so a "Thread Aborted" was being tagged onto any download. Changing that to Response.Flush seems to have fixed it, at least for that cab file.
Please give it another go, I do appologise for coming up with such a thread with a screwed download.

Hey man, no appologies needed. Great work, thanks for the great freeware. It worked great.
Thanks Iggy. Bear with me for a few minutes if there's any problem with the download, I'm just writing some referrer protection into downloads. It won't take long.
===OK, the referrer protection is finished and it's all working again...
I just uploaded a version I call 0.5 because it's 0.5% finished. Compared to the version since I posted last in this thread there's some major bugfixes; the adjective and adverb menus now correctly show, and there's versions for different processors.

sorry ebswift, the download links don't seem to work, and once you have fixed them what is the difference between arm & arm4 (xda ii maybe). let me know when it is fixed.
The download is now fixed ~again~...
I already responded to Iggy, but just so the group knows, ARMV4 is the one that seems to be uploaded to my device during debug sessions, so I can safely say that ARMV4 is somehow newer than ARM. So I guess anything XDA1 or upwards can use ARMV4. I have had both working on my XDA1 and I can't see any difference in operation, although I haven't tested for performance.
Nice job brother. Now works perfectly
Well I added the little convenience of the keypad popping up automatically, and popping away on lost focus. There's also a couple more menu items in operation. It's really not far away from working completely, most of the technical stuff is out of the way.
Just downloaded and tried, excellent work. Thanks for setting up the keyboard, makes it a lot easier. Looking forward to the final version, but so far excellent.
I just upgraded to 0.53 so the history works (or should work).
I'm really happy the way this project is going.
All features operating
I have just uploaded WordNetCE .99 with ALL features now operating. Please update to that version and let me know if there's any bugs. Thanks!
For those of you who tried that latest download and found it didn't work, it is now patched, you should be able to get it up and running now.
My Qtek 9100 with the latest english generic ROM was working fine for months. This morning, I removed the SIM and put it back in. Since then, it won't activesync, I can't drag n drop files to it through Explorer, and when I try to download a CAB file via IE, I now get this error message:
"This device is restricted from downloading this file type."
Any ideas? I don't understand what happened to it! It's like it moved to a very strict secure mode all by itself. It doesn't make any sense!
It seems that my security policies are all whacked up. The device doesn't even see the installed applications in the "Software uninstaller manager" app anymore. I tried rebooting and soft-resetting, no good.
ok guys, in order to fix my problem, I NEED one of you to send me ALL the keys and data info from this registry folder:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Please export that registry for me as a text file and attach it here (or copy/paste it), so I can retype it manually on my Qtek 9100 phone (I can't import anything on my PDA atm as I can't download anything to it, it won't let me).
If none of you do this small favor to me, I am screwed. I would need to hard reset and lose everything (I can't back up anything).
Here Goes...
Ok, I am running the latest "T-mobile custom" ROM, ROM version 2.24.10.1 WWE. I should have no policies enabled... I have typed out all of the keys and values under this in notepad in the format name-value. all values should be DWORD. Hope this helps....
__________
Edit: My phone is a t-mobile MDa, don't think that should matter...
Thank you very much, much appreciated.
I have this issue but I can't view the txt doc can someone paste it here or email it me in the body so I can add them manually or if ur really kind email me the cab file.

I have not checked if changing these have fixed my issue or not so lets find out I will post back with the result. Should I try removing the additional ones found on my MDA?
Merely changing the security Policies as listed in the .txt did not fix the problem
I have this problem too, I can't even edit the registry so I can't even try to put the policies back again. By the looks of things that won't work anyway.
Anyone got a solution that doesn't involve wiping the phone? Not that I know how to do that anyway. I have an XDA Orbit from O2.
Thanks,
Sapan
Same problem here
I have the same problem (XDA Orbit 2)
Worked fine for the first few days - was able to download CABs etc. Then it just stopped. I've read elsewhere about root certificates. Could this be the problem?

Restricted Download !!!!! Hum
Hello all. I also have a Qtek 9100 for more than 2 years.
Honestly i never had that problem. And i already flashed undreads of ROMs and software to it.
One thing is that i always have Backup Software for any eventuality. Things can always go wrong.
Tips
First - Try to use Resco Registery Editor,its a good Software to make any changes "Delete/Rename/Copy/Add etc,etc.
Second - Look for Its Right,the TNT Master. It will be dificult to find him as he is getting is Engineer Degree. You can also ask Octaivoi,he is a Wizard Master 2.
Third - Keep an exautive search in XDA Devs and eventualy you all will find the answere.
Fourth - Get a Backup Software,get back all the software that cant be recovered. "Eugenia software can always be recovered". And FLASH a new ROM. There are many,many Beautiful and advanced Wizard ROMs arround XDA Dev.
Hope that any of these tips can help
SOLVED!!! ThankS!!!

first had this problem with the empty "remove programs" list 6 months ago, glad to see this whacked-out solution that works!!
Conclusion: Microsoft Windows Mobile messed up the security settings, so let Microsoft Word Mobile put it back automatically, voila!
And ofcourse, I've read about this "fix" soo many times at so many places, and it works for everyone but me >.< I tried all the different ways theres to it, nothing worked. One more thing, shutting it off and THEN pressing soft reset doesn't make sense. Anyway I tried, and it didnt fix. Still got the file deletion/changing restriction. Can't sync, can't get online, download files nothing ... If only Microsoft cared to fix this. Anyone any idea? Dutch phone, Hi provider, rom version: 1.93.404.1 NLD
A Real Fix
Has anyone on this board found A REAL FIX to this problem?
Because I just got my tilt 6 months ago was doing good and now cannot download, cannot stream, cannot play cellular videos, radio.
I have tried the office word solution. That did not work for me!
Is there a Real Solution?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I'm sorry it didn't work on your device. I had the same problem, no sync, no file copy/rename on the device, no cab install, no programs in "add/remove programs" on my Mio A702 thing. The MS Word solution worked smoothely and now I have everything as it should be. So I can confirm the "word thing" actually works . Don't know why it won't do the trick in your case
I am a frequent traveller, I travel a lot between Eastern and Central Time zones.
When my PPC was on WM5 it used to Auto update the time no matter which state I used to be in.
But ever since I updated my PPC to WM6 the AutoUpdate of clock stopped working. Can someone help me out
i did find a registry entry which I used.. I do timezone tab in Phone settings and it is checked to autoupdate and still the phone is unable to update the time from network.
anyhelp is greatly appreciated
You are seriously wondering why you are not getting full functionality out of a bootlegged OS?

I can't help with the WM6 question...but I am curious how you managed this with the WM5 OS. I have an 8125 and apparently a similar travel pattern. My device NEVER updates the time based on the network. How did you set this up when you were still running 5?
I am interested in how you got it working as well. Mine did not update once from the east coast to the west coast. Not even when making a call.
well i have a reg tweek that will change the time when you enter a diff time zone via the network...hope this is what your looking for....
Timezone and time update
In the branch HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting Change the value of the Key "ShowTimeZonesPage" to value of 1 (dword). Close your registry editor (no reset required) and tap START-SETTINGS-PHONE, there should be a new tab where you can automatically set the phone to get time and timezone information from the network. Really useful for me as I do extensive travelling. Tested on WM5

Yes! Its there on WM6 too!!!! Dont know if it actually works, yet to travel in a different timezone.
I have had it enabled in my registry in WM5 and WM6. It's NEVER worked for me. I change phones a lot so I'm always taking out the SIM card. When I do this, the battery comes out and it loses time/date.
I'd be curious on the details as well because I've never heard anyone that actually had it functioning!

I tested this tweak and it seems to work when I initiate flight mode and then turn flight mode off (which will be great when I land on the plane...the time will adjust automatically).
Will this update periodically check the time to ensure it's sync'd or will this only work when the phone initially communicates with the network?
acording to microsoft list of bugs in all from aku1 to aku3 this feature never worked and they never fixed it..... since crossbow has several parts of old aku roms my guess is it does not work either..... this feature is also carrier dependent if you manage to make it work.

My carrier supports it. My Wizard never did with the ROM hack or with Crossbow. So if it worked, I'd love to find out how! This at least makes me feel good that I'm not missing out on something...

upon doing some more reading aparently some aku3 roms now support it!!!
but in a diferent way. here it is;
Receiving Network Identity and Time Zone(NITZ) information is currently unsupported.
This feature was incorrectly documented to be supported by Windows Mobile Version 5.0 AKU3.0 in Windows Mobile Version 5.0 Documentation Release. NITZ is currently supported at Radio Interface Layer(RIL) only.

OK, so apparently this functionality is in fairly high demand...and since we're talking about WWAN devices, hasn't someone written an app that will periodically ping a time server (like PC OS's) and update the time on the device?
I am NOT a developer, so maybe I'm missing something obvious here. But it doesn't seem like a complicated concept for sure.
registry wizard does this
the xda-developers registry wizard allows you to make the registry tweak "show time zone s page" in both WM5 and WM6,- this put the time zone tab in phone-options, but the feature never worked for me. I called my provider to confirm if they supported it but the help desk was clueless- Would love to see if anyone got this working.
Confirmed working on my 8125 through the Cingular network. Before the hack I had to initiate a physical active sync through USB or manually change the time. Now if I go and change the time to say an hour ahead within 5 -10 seconds the time reverts back automatically.

Here is a quote and a link to a program I found on the Cingular/HTC forum:
"How hard would it be to go to the clock settings and select the "visiting" button and select the time zone you are in?
Works for me.
There are options for atomic clock server time sync. But that won't address time zone issues.
http://zdnetasia.com/downloads/handheld/swinfo/0,39043246,39175141s,00.htm
"
I don't go out of my own time zone, so I don't really have any issues with it. The registy hack has worked just fine on my 8125.
I keep seeing the fancy looking home screen plug in for WM 6. Is there a similar home screen plug in from HTC for WM 5 that I can use with my 8525? If so how can I get it? Is it free? How do I install it? And I do not know how to do what you guys refer to as reg hacks - so should I just stay away from the topic? I did do some searching and everything comes up under WM 6, or it is not clear if it is WM 5 or 6. Also, I do not want to do anything that will void my warranty - will it? I appreciate any responses. Sorry for being the worlds biggest newbie.
I can't tell you too much about the HTC Home Screen because of I am not using it!
However, 'hacking' the registry will not avoid your warranty! In case you do something wrong: simply hard reset your device and everything should be back to normal and factory default!
If you want to be able to access your PDA's registry you will need a REGISTRY EDITOR installed on your PDA. There are plenty good ones out there! I personally use RESCO EXPLORER 2007 + REGISTRY ADD-IN. You can find a trial version here: http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/default.asp
To get your HOME SCREEN fancy looking: even here you can find lots of stuff without having to hack anything! One really good application which changes not only your TODAY SCREEN is SPB MOBILE SHELL - more info here: http://spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en
Both application I mentioned above are commercial products but trial versions are available as free download! There are hundreds of free application all over the web which will help you to personalize your PDA - just search Google and see what it comes up with!
Hope that helps?
Thanks. A couple quick questions. I can not tell if it is free or not. It has me agree to a bunch of legal stuff, but I do not see any mention of it being free/trial or what a charge would be? Do I do the CAB file?

Its free, dont know if it will work on wm5 havent seen a version working yet on wm5. I suggest just reading the forum for the next two weeks or so. After about a good 20 you will nolonger be a noob. At that time I would suggest upgrading to wm6 and you will have no issues getting this on your phone.
Thanks again for the help on this. If there is not a high degree of knowing that will work on WM 5 does anyone of on that will work?

You can do the cab or the exe - what ever you prefer!
The cab file needs to be copied to the PPC, the setup you run directly on your desktop while your PPC is connected via ActiveSync or MDC.
Both programs I mentioned are running fine under Windows Mobile 5. I used them for more than a year on my T-Mobile MDA WM5 and later on my Hermes.
Hello Together,
here's solution on how to get Blackberry Connect running on Topaz:
Instructions:
------------
- Make sure you have uninstalled blackberry connect before doing the following.
- Attached you will find a small zipped executable (EnableBBCTopaz.exe). Unzip it and copy it over to the \windows\ folder of your device.
- Open a registry editor and navigate to HKLM\init
Create a new string with the name "Launch130" and a value of "EnableBBCTopaz.exe" (without the quotes of course)
If Launch130 already exists, choose a number higher than, it doesn't really matter, just make sure it is higher than the other entries so it get started after everything else.
This makes sure the exe ist started after every softreset.
- Make a softreset, or execute the EnableBBCTopaz.exe manually.
- The program changes your model-id from "HTC-Topaz" to "HTC-Raphael" in memory
- Install Blackberry Connect like you usually do (My tests where successfull with version 4.0.0.104, 4.0.0.106 didn't work for me -- just hung up after a restart)
- After installation and the auto-reset through BBC open the BBC settings and go to the Info-Tab. Under device-name there should now be HTC-Raphael.

The solution is in fact the one from Rhodium forum, the respect goes to them, in particular to c0rnholio. The instructions are also copied from their thread. I just changed the program to fit to Topaz.
hi gnick.
Thanks a lot for providing a solution for this issue, but I cannot get it working...
The Client keeps stating: "PIN Pending". When I try to register the account the data tunnel gets established for a second but then it gets disconnected again.
The SIM is working fine in a Blackberry.
I already tried to reinstall the BB Client several times, but I always got the same results.
The device-ID is set to HTC-Raphael, so that shouldn't cause any issues.
Additionally I tried to kill the bbmain.exe and suspended the log and security services and reenabled them after a few seconds, but still no success.
If you have any further hints on what to try, pls. let me know...
Thanks in advance,
TheOmen666
Which blackberry client version do you have?

Hmm, hard to tell, really.
Which provider do you have? Your provider needs to support HTC Raphael.
Mine (Vodafone Germany) does support HTC Raphael (Touch Pro).

Thanks for the tip, but I too cannot get it to work. It did work in my HTC Diamond (that's Diamond "1", not "2"). I wonder - can you change the programme to suit the Diamond 1 instead please? I mean Diamond 1 instead of HTC Raphael. I wonder if this will make a difference.
By the way, does anyone know if RIM will bring out any software to make this all work?

Hi Gnick, partly. I got it to work with stopping the Blackberry Service and then activating the programme (your one) after a soft reset. However, after every soft reset, I will need to do the same process.
Open MemMaid
Stop Blackberry Service
Open File Explorer
Start your programme
Open File Explorer
Start BlackberryMain.exe
Close File Explorer
Enjoy emails.
This is too much like hard work, so I think I will be either selling my Diamond 2 and going back to my Diamond 1 or keeping both, using the Diamond 1 and waiting for a better fix to become available by subscribing to this thread (and others) and hoping that decent clever chaps like yourself will come up with a fix!!!
By the way, one other item that needs fixing is that I am only able to have my work email on this. I do not have the Blackberry Secure Internet (the one to send service packs and add other email accounts). So I can't get my home email..
There is one other alternative by the way:
This is to write a Mortscript programme that does this tedious process automatically.... I have made enquiries to someone I know....
@gnick
Thats a good point, asking for the Provider...
Well I checked the websites of T-Mobile Germany and the last device I found, where you could officially download the bbconnect client was the "Kaiser" (Mda Vario III, HTC TyTN II, AT&T Tilt ).
This means, that I either have to get rid of my Topaz or convince you to make a special version where the model-id is set to the one of the Kaiser (I only found "KAIS120") but I am absolutely unsure wether this is the korrekt model id used for the bbconnect client.

Hi All,
I finally got it working.
As I am running WM 6.5 on my device, I had to change the AKU String in the Registry HKLM\System\Versions to ".1.6.3".
After changing this, I got a PIN and could do the Enterprise Activation with my account.
Thanks a lot to all for the effort to get this working on the Topaz.
Cheers,

Hi All,
I too got it working. I followed the tips on this thread and on the one by cOrnholio with the following notes:
AKU set to .1.6.1
BBC version 104 worked (106 didn't) just as you said gnick .
Blackberry still crashes Manila sometimes when deleting the last email and exiting tmail.
I cannot activate my other email accounts as the Blackberry Browser (I think this is BES) does not load, even after the prompt "The internet connection is currently in use by the BlackBerry browser. Would you like to temporarily disable BlackBerry browsing? Yes/No". Once disabled and refreshed, it still does not connect. I think I read this on cOrnholio's thread.
Sent mail from pc does not redirect mail to the sent mail folder on the D2 but into the inbox instead.
The soft reset problem still exists, but it does at least work. My D2 has now had emails for the last 3 days.... Fortunately the D2 is more stable than the D1 so soft resets are required less often.
My thanks go to gnick and cOrnholio for this. I can now use my D2!
By the way, I have made some simple shortcuts which make the process following a soft reset simpler:
Add shortcut to BBMain.exe to the start menu
Add shortcut to MemMaid to the start menu
Set MemMaid to re-open at same page in Advanced Settings
A couple more tips for new people at this:
Be patient. Sometimes you can try the same solution more than twice and get different results
Be patient. The IP Address and PIN don't always appear immediately.....
Regards

Hello mitsi, setting the "Launch130" key in the registry to EnableBBCTopaz.exe as described in the instruction in the first posting should ensure that EnableBBCTopaz.exe starts automatically befire BBC. This is the "clever" way to autostart it without doing any manual work. If it doesnt autostart, that could mean that you have a spelling error in the regkey name, regkey value, or that you havent placed the file in the \windows folder.

Hi gnick,
I must admit, I haven't checked this, but I have had problems before with Blackberry. Because our IT Dept in their wisdom have set the security to lock the phone after 60 minutes of inactivity, I keep having to unlock it. I have a Mortscript programme which does this for me thanks to EdSub, but it would appear that Blackberry takes a higher pecking order after a soft reset so the Mortscript isn't activated before Blackberry, no matter how I try to configure it. Therefore, I suspect Blackberry will start before your programme too, so it would then think the phone is a D2 instead of a Rafael immediately after soft reset.....
If your Blackberry has the Security Policy set by your IT Department, you too may have this issue, but otherwise, it may be possible to start your programme before Blackberry starts.
Isn't it all rather silly??? The things we do to get our phones to our liking eh???

It shouldn't take longer than a few minutes. You may be able to help it on it's way by going into Blackberry settings, then in the Utility tab, press "Register Now". Then if you go to the Identy tab your PIN and IP address should appear hopefully.
nothing appens when i press "activate now "....
same probleme with a touch hd ...Bes account has been reset ...but pin and ip still pending
i'll wait ...
want a good new : already broke my digitizer yesterday :s got to change it ...
News from HTC
Hi All,
For your information, I sent the following question to HTC:
"Dear Sirs, I have an HTC Touch Diamond 2. I have requested information before on how to get Blackberry Connect working on this phone but had the response "we don't support third party applications". This is fair enough, but please see this link: http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=497&news_id=61. If you support this on other HTC phones, then why not the Diamond 2? Do you have plans to develop this further? I would appreciate your help/comments on this please."
I received this response from HTC:
"New Response From [ Mike (EU team) ]
Hi Paul,
The link you found is for Asian devices, not European ones.
Blackberry Connect is not supported by HTC Europe and there are no plans to release the 3rd party application or test its compatibility.
Please contact Research In MOtion to see if there is compatible version for your device.
Best Regards
Mike"
Hopefully they will change their minds in the future. Has anyone tried RIM?
mine worked 2 days later
had to wait only because my orange data network was pending ...
now it works perfectly
