IIWPO: Theft protection in ROM for Himalaya

(Re-published due to forum structure change)
Based of the IIWPO solution initially meant for Wallaby devices (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=2526), I created a customizable installer for Himalaya:
See the Wiki page on IIWPO
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/IIWPO
Hopefully IIWPO suprises a lot of thiefs!!!!!

This is way too cool! I really love this software. I hope never to have to rely on it but just to know its there will make me sleep better. Thanks.

Wow!
The link doesn't work, but... there is or could you do something like that for the PDA2K?
Thanks!

Edsub,
I am wondering if the already excellent IIWPO could be further enhanced by a simple but witty add-on. I am imagining the capability to receive a Kill-Signal via SMS. If all attemps to recover the phone fails because the person who holds it has not put in a full & proper owner name + address we still have a phone number right? Therefore we can send an SMS to the phone at will. If IIWPO listens for a specific sms subject line then we could instruct it to disable the phone in some fashion that can be reversed and display a message to this end "tell" the thief to return the phone no questions asked etc. If still no luck then we could send a signal forever killing the phone. Am I watching too many spy movies? ;-)
Hope you like the idea. Sounds fun to me. Regards

I like the idea :twisted: , but since am not a CE developer (and I did not develop IIWPO either, just put the parts that were there together for use on a Himalaya) I have no idea whether or not this is possible.
Maybe any of the real xda-developers see a possibility here :?:

This is possible, and was used on an HP Jornado 928 ...
On this handset, a simple SMS containing a specific codeword or PIN would 'lock' the handset so that it could not be used. Quite useful and as far as I know unique to the HP Jornado 928.
Anyone know any different ?
Cheers

wow!! this would be great for the PPC! ive tried something like this in my symbian NOKIA 6600! and its very useful!! if you change the sim the phone will automatically send a message to your predefined numbers containing some info on the current location of your phone... and if you send a code to it thru SMS it will lock up and it cant be used unless you flash it or something.. i bet the PPC version is even greater!! cant wait for a full version!

im using a 7610 nokia n was wondering wat is the software ur using for ur nokia 6600 thanks

I would like the facility to electrocute the new "owner" through the ear when he makes a call, 50,000 volts would be fine. Or maybe a spring bolt that would activate and shatter his jaw.

Perhaps the local police station...

My wife lost her handphone to some dishonest fella who picks it up and perhaps remove the SIM/off the HP.
Perhaps we can have it SMS your selected police station on startup and replay an SMS with your customised message:
"Yeah baby! I've stolen this handphone and there is NOTHING that you bloody incompetent slobs can do about it! <vulgarities applied here>!"
<repeat 100 times>
In my country, we can have different numbers for neighbourhood police post. The SMS will be repeated as a robotic voice message to the LAND phone as well.
I can at least ensure that the message does not go into a generic 911 number. :twisted:

HEY - THIS IS A COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE !!!
YOU SHOULD BUY IT !!!!!
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

yes i agree, this is a great program, you should pay for it

Yeah, actually, this is like one of the few programs that make what 3 or 4 programs do. You should really erase the app, and link the website instead.
Talking about the program, the new version has a location Service, giving you the possibility to setup different settings depending on where you are. This is one ***ing cool feature. And I've seen something like that for the Smartphone that acts as a GPS sort of device where it post the cell tower location and shows in a website where more or less are located. Anybody knows if there is such a beast in the PPC?.

Moderators and users, in fear of losing this entire website over a single piece of unauthorized software, please remove the attachment immediately.
I am one of dozens of "beta testers" working with this author to provide the best product possible, and as a developer, I would be very hurt to see my work go unrewarded like this.
*** PLEASE REMOVE THE ATTACHMENT ***

Okay, i removed the attachment. Thank you all for your encouraged acting!
Have a nice day.

Piracy aside - it's an amazing app and i'm buying a copy! Can't believe how much it does - it's SOOOO useful

The funny thing is where does this v1.20 come from since on pocketMax.net website, there's only the v1.13.02 available !

http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
Updated yesterday!
This program is really cool. I customised the JOEL_BLUE theme to show the operator name and graphical battery and signal levels. It also allows you to assign MP3 files as SMS tones! COOL!

Funny thing isn't it - piracy can end up making sales for you..

phoneAlarm is damn nice.. I was using Pocketzenphone last time but end up using this piece at the moment. Good job.. BeyondtheTech :wink:

been using this app since the first day I had my Magician, cant do without it now. I especially like the automatic (timed) switching of profiles

It's SBSH pocketbreeze (http://www.sbsh.net/forums/index.php?s=86b789a6acb7d0d8fe5b02f3b4027f76&showforum=7)
The bottom one is pocketplus

how??

This is a great piece of software but i still miss some features that Magic Profiles for UIQ had like;
- Creating your own profiles
- Ability to work in relation to the Calendar and automatically switching profiles. This was done by using "Magic Words" like "Meeting", "Flight", etc.

If you have ver 1.2 or higher press the config button, then select the Addon tab. Then there's a button called scroller. Click on that. Select "Rotate every" and set it to 0secs. In the "Items to show" section, select Operator.
Hope this helps

Here's a tip for your blog:
These windows mobile phones don't accept SMS WAP Pushes. What is an SMS Wap Push? It's what service providers send to your phone to give you a link to a ringtone/picture/java game you've asked for. For some reason no one complains about this, but for me it was quite important to find a solution.
To enable WAP Push messages on your WM phone do the following:
Using a registry editor go to HKLM\security\policies\policies and set the key 100D to value 4095.

Can you show me how this works? Give me something I can navigate to and receive something?

Great job, some very useful tweaks added.

excellent - just what i was looking for..
keep the good work up!
thanks

its got the bypass certification built in when you select unlock extended_ROM.
Can now edit config.txt to add a cab that auto-install protection software (eye on thief, with my config.ini) to send me wife the thief's phone no.

Hey BongoUser,
Great tool - many thanks.
One suggestion regarding Wifi:
I understand that the TyTN uses WiFi only at a rate of 11Mbit. A modification of the registry entry dot11DesiredTxRate from 0 to 13 will increase the speed to 54MBit/s.
Have not tested yet if this change will then allow operation in 54Mbit range only but I presume that also the slower networks are ok.
Maybe worth adding to the tool.
All the best,
StonyA

Hi BongoUser,
really great job !
Here a suggestion for a future update of your software, which should be fairly easy to implement:
An option to swap the HTTP User Agent in the Registry and afterwards have swap it back again to the TyTN default value.
The HTTP User Agent can be found as a Registry key (don't know it by heart at the moment; can drop you a line if you'd need that information) and allows you mimic your device for webservers checking this value as an other device, e.g. a Nokia phone
Apart from just making fun of this function there is also a practical use in some cases, in fact where a webserver checks the value for either oresenting a different screen resolution or switching to WAP mode (note: some Nokia phones just have a very poor screen resolution or even cannot present real http pages).
In some cases WAP pages are of advantage versus real http webpages because their size is smaller, e.g. when just retrieving pure information.
While there are surely more "sophisticated" (and probably also complex !) ways for upgrading the Hermes Tweaker I think this one would be swiftly implemented.

Thank you very much for this nifty tool.
However I have found something strange with it.
I disabled the CommManager from the taskbar and suddenly the battery icon is disabled as well.

Very sorry to be so stupid !!! But I confess that I don't really understand what mean "Extended Rom" ?
Does it mean that I can use a part of this "extended rom" as a space ram to softs ?
What does it mean if I select "Mount Ext Rom" and "Unlock Ext Rom" ?
Thanks to be indulgent.

It means the space where you can find the CAB Files from Orange or O2.
It will be installed after every hardreset.
If you don't know what Ext Rom is, don't unlock it and don't mount it !

Is there anywhere else this can be obtained ?

Oh my GOD! Can anyone help me tell me how to mod my Trinity!!

Hi everyone! I own a trinity spv m700 orange white phone. Nothing has been change, the phone is still the same as the day it came package. And I have just witnessed the potential of what my phone can do.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSGqgEGedq8&feature=related
I am still a noob. And I dunno what they are using to do all that on their trinity. I think now is the good time to learn more about my phone and fiddle with it.
I would love and kill to see my trinity work that way. Would any experts out there kindly point me in the right direction. I know there might be alot of work cut out for me. But I am not discouraged.
Hope someone can help me in here.
Thank you in advance.

There's nothing special about it. From what I can see, it has HTC Home installed, Touchflo, HTC Album in landscape mode, Pocket IE in full screen mode, Tom Tom navigation, Office Mobile, Windows Media Player, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Action, nothing special.
As for the speed, it is a medium speed ROM, I'd give it a 6/10.
Most of these apps you will find on the forum.

Here you go!
After installation, shut down PPC (hold power button for 4 seconds), then soft reset.

Hey Tnyynt.
Thanks, but I think I found a solution by searching....
Schaps Advanced configuration tool (works w/wm6.1.) It has the SIM option and many more cool options (of which I know how to use maybe two!)
