How to customize AutoText in WM5/WM6 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hello all,
I wrote a blog entry that explains in detail how to edit the AutoText for Windows Mobile devices (AT&T 8525, Tilt, etc.). I find this invaluable for working with email. Hope you can use it, too!

BlackBerry Connect on Iolite

Hello
After searching Google and Forums like this, i still have a problem.
I have a XDA Guide (HTC-Iolite) with german O2 branding, but I want to use Blackberry Connect with german t-mobile blackberry enterprise service.
Is there anybody out there who can help??
regards
cheesy
I remember that in 2007 RIM promised to introduce Virtual Blackberry before the end of the year. Ment to support Windows Mobile.
All I found was this here but if you do not succeed, maybe you can also post on Blackberry user forums like this one.
Thanks for reply.
I knew this sites, but my problem is, there is no offical way to use "blackberry connect" on my Iolite. I think this problem depends on many htc smartphones. But I know, there are solutions for other models, but they are not funktional on my Iolite.

Rhodium and MS Access solution ?

Hello xda-developers, been reading around here for a few days, great forum here. Lots of good info and smart contributing members.
Got a new tp2 and been searching for a mobile Microsoft Office Access app, to view my company customer data base. Its a 45meg database, MS Access file.
Did a search here for access, office access, Microsoft Office Access, and no results.
Anyone know of a Access viewer or app that will work well?
Thanks

Step by Step Guide on Making Blackberry Connect work on Touch Pro 2 + Multiple APN's

I have been seeing various posts on people struggling to make BBConnect work on HTC Touch Pro 2 a.k.a Rhodium and thought I would put down a step by step guide from various posts put down through this forum So rejoice all you HTC Touch Pro 2 owners like me BB Connect is finally working and so is Multiple APN's. I have BB Connect Enterprise and GPRS connecting simultaneously and its showing up on the notifications manager.
This step by step solution is thanks to Cornholio, Absahnen & NRGZ8(The Master Chef who cooks wonderful ROms across devices)
So Here Goes
Step I: GET YOURSELF A NEW ROM:
Trying to install Blackberry Connect is very buggy on most of the stock ROMS and will keep on failing. So go and get yourself the latest NRGZ8 ROM for Rhodium I am using Build 21877 27th Nov Standard Manila 2.1. The ROM is anyway faster with almost no bugs and free of Junk that you see on standard ROMS
download the ROM from this link:
http://hotfile.com/list/93322/b5a2687
Step2: CHANGE AKU SETTINGS
This change is needed to make BB Connect work on WinMo 6.5 ROMS.
Using a registry editor go to HKLM/System/Versions
There you will see the aku key usually on any WinMo 6.5 ROM its .5.xx.xx change the aku value to .1.6.0(.1.6.3 didnt work, the connection was getting dropped)
Step 3: FOOLING YOUR BB CONNECT SOFTWARE TO THINK YOUR DEVICE IS A RAPHAEL
The Rhodium is not yet supported by RIM and looks like they have withdrawn support for further devices. Therefore you need the BB connect to believe that your Touch Pro 2 is a Touch Pro i.e. Your Rhodium is a Raphael. To do this you have to make registry changes you can use any registry editor I used Resco Registry Editor which loads when you load Resco Explore on your device To do this follow the steps below very carefully, using the registry editor
Instructions:
------------
- Uninstall any BB Connect software if you loaded.
- Attached find a rar file which contains SetModelID.exe. Unzip it and copy it over to the \windows\ folder of your device.
- Using any registry editor of your choice navigate to HKLM\init Create a new String Value with the name "Launch130" and a value of "SetModelID.exe" (without the quotes)
If Launch130 already exists, choose a number greater than 130, 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 isnt started after every softreset.
- Do a softreset
- The program changes your model-id from "HTC-Rhodium" to "HTC-Raphael" in memory
- Install Blackberry Connect like you usually do (My tests where successfull with version 4.0.0.106)
- 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.
- If you're using BES configure your device using enterprise activation or the BB Connect desktop app
STEP 4: ENABLING MULTIPLE APN'S
This will allow you simultaneously have an active BBConnect and a GPRS connection active at the same time
Go to:
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts
There you will find several numbers. E.g. 26202 for Vodafone in Germany.
The number is a combination of MCC / MNC so 262 02. You might find you operator in this list:
http://surfio.de/info/mcc_mnc/mcc_mnc_liste_6.html
or do a google search for your specific operators MCC/MNC nos
Create the two DWord Value Entries below if they arent there:
GPRSContextNumber = 3
UMTSContextNumber = 3
Just set the Contexts value to 3 and delete the NetworkContexts entry. It will be created from the source above with the value 3.
And voila you will have multiple connections running simultaneously you can get your BB Mails as well as see Youtube videos over GPRS. I managed to do this over a frustrating 48 hour period and I thought will share this for anyone seeking an answer.
Cheers and enjoy
Man! The guide looks great! but it makes my brain hurt!!! Arggg!!!
(Hardly understand some part of the guide.)
: )
Heres my step by step, plus all the software and a cab called black berry that someone else kindly put together for me that does all the registry steps (and makes the multiple APN switch for TMOB US). (BTW this has worked on EVERY ROM I have used, 6.1, 6.5, 6.53, sense 2.1 and 2.5):
['black berry cab' does all these]:
Copy SetModelID.exe into windows
HKLM\init: Create a new string: Launch130 with value: SetModelID.exe
HKLM\system\versions\aku - change to .1.6.3 [which works for me]
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts\...
Create new ones or edit your relevant operators GPRS and UMTS to 3
[for US find them in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_codes_in_the_United_States]
HKLM\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
set the Contexts value to 3
Delete the NetworkContexts entry
Soft Reset
Install BB Settings CAB
(I always create a shortcut in programs from 'BB Settings' in Program Files/Blackberry - its a quick way to run this file later)
Either: Using BB connect desktop for WM 'configure wireless handset' (see below)
Or: get new key generated by your company's tech support and enter them into BB Settings on your device
(Activesync blackberry connect desktop setup can be found at http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bb_desktop_4.0.0.22.zip. I use this becuase YOU CAN GENERATE YOUR OWN KEY and configure your handset again and again which means you dont have to bug tech support every time you burn a new ROM, which I do every few days!)
for some reason I cant upload the blackberry connect cab, so here is the link http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb.4.0.0.106.cab
black berry cab is attached.

Well what can I say Mr What 150 was trying to help. The step by step guid is written keeping noobs in mind so that you dont get back Q's on How to do this? and How to do that? and help ppl besides just those in the US who cant use the cab posted here anyways and dont know how to write complicated XML codes.
Thanks a lot patcat!!!
I had my rhodium working with BB connect but no multiple APNs... had to manually suspend BB service and enable GPRS everytime I needed anything from the internet. Those days are gone now!!!
Now, have you ever wondered why is it that BB Messenger, being a Java application, can not be ported to WM and run on our TP2s? I mean, we have our BB data plans, a PIN# and are connected to the Blackberry service.. what else do we need for BB Messenger to work?

You are welcome Roberto. I havent yet come across any cab for BB messenger. There has been talk of a BB application suite to run on WinMo but I havent seen any beta's also of that floating around. If you do come across any BB Messenger cab do post it here or PM me the cab.
Most reliable method
Here is what I do...I think it is the most reliable method....and I have used it with just about every ROM out there and it works...everytime...It looks like a lot of steps but it is very easy and after the first ROM flash you will know what do do for any others...I actually learned this from this site and MUCH smarter people than me...so thanks to all those who helped get Blackberry Connect working. Without this site I might still have an 8525 because I need blackberry connect...!
Installing Blackberry connect...this has to happen in this order...
1. Download a ROM
2. Edit the ROM using the information from here, it looks complicated but takes less than a minute essentially you use the program you download to change any reference to Rhodium to Raphael using a search: http://www.silentservices.de/HexEdit-ROM-for-BBC.html
3. Flash the edited ROM.
4. Install the CAB file I attached it will change the AKU for you...I actually put it in my UC script so it automatically installs before Blackberry Connect...
5. Install Blackberry Connect version 4.0.0.106
Allowing Multiple APN's (This can happen at ANY time)
Follow step four in the original guide or if you are AT&T all you have to do is use a registry editor and go to HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\Operator Contexts\310410 and change UMTSContextNumber to 2. If you use 2 then you don't have to worry about anything else like deleting the Network Contexts entry....

Works excellently on my TP2 with .106 cab on Vodafone India network at Delhi.
Good work bro, well sorted out steps

Address book, Sending pictures via Email not available
Hi,
I've got everything working thanks to you guys.
When composing a new Email, the address book is not being used (no Auto completion or suggestion).
I would take a picture from the camera but the option to send via Email is greyed out with the account setup via BB.
No HTML Email viewing.
Is it designed to work like that with BB Connect?

PIN is provided by GSM service provider. These step enable the BBC software to accept your handset model as compatible for BB services. Its not a hack for working BB without BB activation. Get the BB services activated from GSM operator and u shall have a PIN also.

I added what I know...it does seem since Blackberry connect is an older program everything ends up like a work around...
When composing a new Email, the address book is not being used (no Auto completion or suggestion).
It won't auto complete. If you click the menu and use the "check Names" feature it will first look in your address book and then if you hit Lookup it will look in the global address book. A little more cumbersome but it works.
I would take a picture from the camera but the option to send via Email is greyed out with the account setup via BB.
I have not been able to send photos from the camera in the last several Roms...so I think it is the newer Album that doesn't allow it. You can still send it by attaching it when creating an email, but yes this is a little cumbersome as well...
I only have one email account setup on my device which i
No HTML Email viewing.
Yes that is correct...

hi there, i have the same problem of not having a pin on my tp2, my carrier says the pin is on the device here is a copy and paste of my carrier web iste when i tried to activate the service
"To find your PIN perform one of the following actions:
* In the BlackBerry device options or settings, click Status.
* Look for the PIN and IMEI information on the outside of the box that your BlackBerry device or BlackBerry-enabled device came in.
* Turn the BlackBerry device off and remove the battery. Look for the sticker on the BlackBerry device with the PIN information where the battery is usually located."
Nice tutorial, patcat007. On my TP2 with a 6.5 ROM my BB Connect work. Anyway, when I change the AKU to .1.6.3, something happens with graphics in my dialer like in the picture attached. Anyone could help to correct this? Thank's!

Lotus Notes via Onebridge on HD2

Hi There,
I hope to post in the correct section.
My company is using Onebridge client to replicate Lotus Notes e-mails on our mobile phones.
Today, the implemented solution is working fine but on Symbian devices (we're using Nokia E71 phones).
As I was fed up about this one, I've bought from my side a HD2. By browsing the Internet, I've found on the Sybase web site the Onebridge client for Windows Mobile devices as a trial version. I've downloaded it and have installed the CAB into my Leo. Fine !
I've entered the various parameters to contact the server but at a certain point, I've been asked to enter an activation code which I don't have....
How can I get this code knowing that the IT department doesn't want to know more about my idea to swap for the HTC solution....
Thanks in advance for any helping hand.
Cheers from Switzerland.
Jean-Ma
What's your domino version? R8 has a something Traveller (comes free on the server) where WM and iPhone can get the mails without OneBridge.
Hi Alex,
Not sure about that, but we run Lotus Notes v.7.0...
Otherwise, I need to check this with my IT dpt....
Jean-Ma
I think this will not work without your IT department ...
You do not have a standalone software on your HD2. It needs also a Server who is connecting your notes database with the sync client.
Best regards,
dingolino
