go to the kitchen and select Theft protection, then set your name and input in your desired number you want the warning SMS to be sent to...
Easy way to check if theft protection really works. Hard Reset your device. After a few minutes, you will get an sms sent to the number you selected when making the rom. You will get another sms when you change the user information. It is quite cool and works well.

nope, I tried this and its not working...another way to check it is go to the system registry HKEY CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\XDA DEVELOPERS\IIWOP and check all the settings are there...I've checked and its not there...
xda developers, can you get it up and running again?? really love this piece of thing

If there are no settings under the key, or no key, then the software hasn't been included in your ROM correctly, or at all, try making your ROM again.

I have never seen "theft protection " working for me!
I cooked couple ROMs, with enabled "theft protection" and my name and phone#.
But after flashing to my XDA, nothing happend! no owner infomation in my XDA
how to enable iiwpo
i flashed with a rom from jeffs kitchen on saturday last, and found that the iiwpo file, that should be placed in the start up folder was placed in windows instead. Just move it to start up, and reset. Also, check ur registry settings as mentioned further down in this thread, and use the international no. code for ur notification no. ......it works fine on my xda......good work guys!

Sorry I created my Own Rom, anyway check if the ROM you cook have the two(2) files one in the startup "IIWPO_Startup" and the other one is in the /windows directory "IIWPO_Main" and also check the registry setting for the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XDA-Developers\IIPO" for the settings.. if not i think there is a problem on jeff's kitchen. :roll:
Hi, first post on here....
I'm playing with a Orange SPV M5000 (HTC Universal), and I can't find a permanent storage area on it, is that right?
I've also got a O2 XDAII & a XDAIIs and these both have a Storage folder (permanent) and a Storage Card (if inserted)
Does the HTC Universal not have this, or is it just the SPV M5000s?
Thanks
All the storage in WM5 is permanent unlike WM2003SE
thanks for the replay, but that's not true
I just copied a few image files to \My Documents, cold-reset the device, and the files were gone.
Unless anyone can say otherwise, I don't think this device has any permanent storage othere than the external card
Jon, hard resets are designed to wipe the device.
soft reset - it, just jabbiing the reset hole, preserves data fine.
go easy on the hard resets! you *will* lose data, that's the point of it.
ady, dave, thanks, and I was wrong, you are right!
I'm a developer, and working out how to stop users from zapping my app when they let the battery run down, and trying out install scripts, which is why I'm hard-resetting devices, etc
on ppc2003, if the battery died, the device is factory-reset, I did not know that wm5.0 worked differntly, this makes things much easier, thanks guys

Sorry, i only just woke up.
As far as I can discern, the extended rom is really just a hidden folder, that you are prevented from writing to. You can change a flag on the disk with some software on this site, and on some devices even resize it, but generally, it can be used as storage, or not. it's pretty hidden, obscured and not very friendly, so i guess only the extremists will use it.
saying that, it's a nice place to store copies of ms bvoice command so you can reinstall it again when it screws up again without using 'real' storage space on your device (you listening, microsoft? )

lol I need to wear an eye patch now :lol:
Installing to \root\Program Files\DylonSoft should be fine on the Uni and most other WM5 devices. Some devices might not use Persistent Storage, the OEMs have the choice to use RAM but it is discouraged. I haven't read of any devices that have chosen the old method yet.
Persistent Storage is just a built in flash chip.
When you do a soft reset the OS is loaded into the (uselessly small) RAM space from the ROM. Just like your PC, killing the power only kills whatever is running and of course any unsaved work.
I've gotta say this is a very helpful forum!
I've got this sussed now, as I said, I'm a developer, so I want an install which will work on most devices, so I'm not going to mess about with extended ROM, as I'll then have to spend ages messing about to do the same thing on a different device.
Anyone wants help building installers for pocketPCs, give me a call
Thanks
Hey Guys,
I posted this in the Kaiser thread. It works brilliantly on my Ameo too.
Here's the first post from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332324
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve found a mint piece of software that no Kaiser owner should be without.
It comes with a trial period and u should check it out.
I was looking for some software that would help secure my phone and came across this. http://www.wimp-software.co.uk)
It’s supposedly designed to help you find your phone (yeh right, I aint gonna lose my £500 phone) but me and my mate have had a **** load of fun with it.
It’s pretty cool.
If you read the instructions, you can basically text the phone, but the other person doesn’t get the text message. The software grabs this coded text message and sends you back the gps position of the phone. It also gives you a link to google maps which is great if you’ve got Opera installed on your phone. (Don’t try PIE, it doesn’t work)
I gotta say, I’ve seen a lot of cool software around, but this one is SO cool. I only wish my girlfriend had a Kaiser. I could have so much fun with this.
The only thing I would add to the software though, is to know I was being WIMPED. Maybe a little SMS noise, or the icon changed or something, but I do suppose that it was written for phone theft. I haven’t tried it yet, but it also claims that if you change the SIM card in the phone it’ll SMS you with the number of the new SIM card.
this is a great find. thanks
Yes, this is a fantastic idea. However, the implication on our privacy is something to think about very seriously. Yes, it does protect our phone from theft and lost.
Can it be uninstalled or removed by a hard reset.?
Yes, it can be uninstalled, and yes it will be removed by a hard reset.
HOWEVER, pop it into your External Rom and the above two things become insignificant.
That's very true.
or cook it into a rom, doesnt help if they re-flash though...
Mobile Justice
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice
Does the same, is freeware, works without problems on My athena WITHOUT bottom bar at 128 DPI (WINP shows no ICON)
The easiest way could be to cook it into a ROM and put the config file into an unlocked EXTERNAL ROM.
This is needed because a config file is requested, so, even if you cook mobile justice into the rom, you can't cook the config file (it needs your password, your SIM number and your phone number to report at..)
Then you can config your phone and even in case of an hard reset, without the thieft knowledge of the SW, it will restart and it reads the config file into the external ROM

We would have to assume that 99.9% of the guy having our phones does not know anything about flashing. This is a reasonable assumption I think.
Having even 80% chances of getting back a lost phone is already not bad.

Agree with this. Even having the config file on the MicroDrive might work, if this could be built into the ROM to look there by default. Don't know if that's possible. Yes, you could erase the Microdrive but this would take more research than the usual thief might be willing to make...
WIMP says it will send a Google Maps link, will Mobile Justice do that? Seems like MJ is actually more configurable.

MJ send GPS info in some formats, and have NO ICON on home screen. And a guy having in his hands a phone like this the first thing he search on google is HOW TO HARD RESET THE DEVICE Without a config file in ROM (on on microdrive I agree, but when you hard reset the ATHENA he asks "do you want to format the microdrive?" Having a stolen one the answer will be always YES!
Moreover is FREE, so I think no problems, asking to author, to put it into the ROM and to modify the registry key for config file to have it on external rom. The problem is.. could we have a PK3.0 with External Rom unocked as default?

I don't recall being asked about reformatting the MicroDrive on hard reset... But having it in external rom would certainly be a viable approach. This would be a nice feature for PK3.0

The only way to works well it's integrating it in the rom, cause if its stolen the first thing that can do is change the rom
New Version on their website.
V1.2 includes various stealth options.
Wouldn't it be great if we could tell the program to draw the thiefs attention (eg an alarm) and when the person reacts to this alarm have it make a photograph with the front camera, which could be send through mms or e-mail... Then you would know who to look for when you arrive at the GPS coordinates with your baseball bat...
Hello All,
This is NiCK Carty from www.PocketPC-Live.com and I was here in xda for a very long time at the Artemis and Kaiser sections serving the community, even released a couple of slim Roms for Artemis (HTC P3300). Now that I have got myself a new HTC Athena (dopod U1000) after being impressed by the processor 624 Mhz Intel, I will enter this section now.
My first impressions on the device, it's damn good, probably better option to those who look for a UMPC.
As a welcome note, I would like to give 7 copies of my software Ultimate Theft Alert v35! (recently optimized for Athena under real VGA 128 dpi). The next 7 replies to this post will be eligible for the free offer. Download the trial version from here and mail me for Product keys.
I would love to hear your suggestions for my software.
Regards,
Carty..

Thanks Carty for your free gift. Will try it out tonight when I get some free time.
Edit: okay, installed it. It looks really really good. I like it better than WIMP if the monitoring integration can be installed.
I have a few questions.
1) I entered +614XXXXXXXX as my number to call when the phone is stolen, but it does not accept it. Why is this so? What if a SIM card of another country is inserted when we travel?
2) Often the top taskbar disappear. Do you have this problem? I also find that I'm unable to minimise it or switch to other applications when used in conjunction with wktask.
3) How do we make it possible for the problem to survive a hard reset?
4) How about letting the seven of us have the GPS and monitoring integration also? Or at least the monitoring integration. I like your concept of monitoring very much. I have been using WIMP in the past with GPS, but I find the GPS location to be too rough to be useful. I think the monitoring concept gives us much better chance of recovering the phone than WIMP would allow.
Fantastic application! Thanks again.

Replace + with 00. Eg: 00614XXX Try it and let me known. It is the issue with some service providers who dont accept the format of message sent with certain parameters.

The application is made to take the full screen hiding the Start bar. This is only when you're in the Admin panel making some configurations. So for a few minutes, you can sacrifice Start ar ?
Or do you think the application doesnt bring back Start bar even after closing?

Depending on in which country the phone is stolen, the international prefix is different. But + is the universally acceptable prefix to replace all these prefix. That's why I thought it would be the correct way to set up the number.
BTW, I tried testing it. Unfortunately it does not seem to be sending out any SMS alert to the listed mobile phone number when I put in a SIM card which has not been added to the database yet. Are any of the other six users having this problem?
Also, when I tried to set up the customized text, the software abended with an error message saying "An unexpected error has occured in UTAv35.exe. Select Quite and then restart this program, or select Details for more informaiton" . When I select Details, I see the following information:
UTAv35.exe
NullReferenceException
at UTAv35.Form1.Button19_Click()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick()
at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick()
at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBasel.WnProc()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc()
at Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop()
at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
at UTAv35.Form1.Main()
I wonder if this (the inability to set up customise text, hence it is blank) is the reason why no alert message was sent?

Hey guys!
Try here: http://8g.cn/Search.aspx?Keywords=htc
I found the UN-Findable Trindiag.nbh here. I was amazed after searching for 2 years, it was here.
Anyways, be sure to browse all 125 items. You can change pages at the bottom. Not sure what it says, since it's Chineese, but I was able to fumble my way through it.
Also, for more info, try changing the tab at the top of the search window and run the search again. I've found more stuff that way.

Note this file is the diagnostic nbh, NOT to be confused with nbh files of the same name created by some ROM Chefs. They use this same name because the device automatically looks to load files by this specific name in preference to loading pre-installed software on the phone.

Copy it to the Root of your SD Card and enter BootLoader. But, be aware that it may cause a Hard Reset and possibly clear all your call counters. At least on the Trinity this is how it acts.
Also, be aware that it may cause other damage not mentioned, so use at your own risk... I've used the Trinity & Kaiser versions with no damage, but just know this in case.
