hello,
when i start my MDA II, i have 51 Mb in use from my program memory, although i haven't installed anything yet. I think it comes from my startup folder. What can i delete safely from my startup folder which uses a lot of memory. i have the latest t-mobile NL rom... running on my device.
thanks.
they are not program they are just shortcuts
you can just try moving them to another dir one by one
and see if their purpos is clear

here is a person asking the very same question as you
Ok, so I installed the 6.1 update from utstarcom (original not custom dcd or other roms) and I am confused about the running programs feature.
Whether I go to Start/Settings/Memory or Start/Programs/Running Programs I see the Memory application only. Two tabs with Main and Storage Card, but not the running programs list like there was on WM6 (before the update).
Did the update screw up the two applications? How can I close or stop applications from running now? Any way to fix this in the registry or other way without redoing the entire flash?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
The running programs can be found by tapping the top right quick menu button on the today screen if you have the quick menu enabled or by going Start/Settings/Task Manager.
Hello folks,
I'm rather new to all of this, but I've come across a problem I can't seem to work out on my own.
I purchased a second-hand HP 910c, which had WM 6.1 but in French. It is also "branded" with Rogers software as well. I followed the instructions here to "flash" a ROM on the device which worked fine... but as soon as I boot up the device, it says that there are updates available for my device, and doesn't let me do anything else until I install them. Turns out the "updates" are in fact Roger's software installing on my device, and also UNINSTALLING other useful programs!
What I hope you can help me out with is - how do I disable that automatic update? I think it's called "IPAQ CUSTOMIZATION" or something like that?
Sounds like you've got some Canuck in your extended ROM! See if this works for you: hard reset, and as soon as you see the "updates available" screen come up, soft-reset. (It won't hurt your device, promise.) If I've guessed right, your device will restart but none of the Rogers software will be installed.
I tried that - it still comes up with "HP IPAQ CUSTOMIZATION" upon reboot.
Almost as if there's a file in a "Start-Up" type folder... but I can't go anywhere past that install screen to see...
Any ideas?
i think the only way to disable ipaq customization is to edit the rom initflashfiles.dat under OEM_Lang to take it out from start

Is there a tutorial around for that, or to get me started?
Also - I'm loading a ROM from here to change the language... does that matter?
gfinockio .. have you had any luck with this?
Yeah, sort of a fluke really. I updated to one of the 6.5 ROMs, didn't like it, so I went back to a 6.1 ROM from HP. That seemed to do it!
I think the key is to do a "full" flash of the ROM. You can't use the SDLoader method, because that just flashes the OS. Using the official update from HP, with the software, should work. There is a package somewhere on these forums that is a "hacked" version that ignores language as well. Take a search (I'd use "minutes" as a key, because that's in the thread!) and keep us updated.
What happens is the clean boot image has a link to the HP customisation program in the windows\startup folder. The way to avoid this program from running is hence to remove this link from the startup folder.
My way of doing this is to connect the iPaq to my PC before starting the iPaq. When the iPaq starts, the screen asking you to click to start the customisation will come up, but until you click, the program will not run yet. In the background, while you can't see it (the customisation screen won't give way to anything else), other programs including Activesync will still run. You can therefore, from the PC, explore into the startup folder and delete the link to the customisation program, all without clicking on the iPaq and hence before the customisation has a chance to run. You can then soft reset, and with the link removed from startup, customisation will not start.

Yeah, I tried that too... but if you flash again (without doing a FULL flash), it might come back on next reset, or for sure on next flash.
The good news is - it IS possible to get rid of it.
Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to somehow save CoPilot and F-Secure which came preloaded in my device and I have since activated the subscriptions.
I thought about copying the program files, but im worried that I wont be able to revalidate the software after the handset has been flashed with a different ROM than of T-Mobiles.
Has anyone ever faced this before?
If you install another rom, cooked or backed you will loose all programs and data on your phone memory.
Just copying the program files folder won't do the job for saving the programs, you will need the registry settings also.
You can install the programs you need afterwards or try to find a cooked rom with those program pre-installed.
Hi,
I'm looking for a bit of help with this if possible, basically at work, i have to constantly setup a load of HTC P6500 devices all running on windows mobile 6.1.
On each device I have to install certain programs from an sd card and update quite a few system settings.
Is there any way this can be done with a batch file perhaps, that would install all the software and update all the settings I need it to?
"XDA UC" could be what you are looking for, but it needs to be cooked in into WM.
I think there already is such a machanism in WM, but I don't really remember it's name...
.cab
make a .cab which has all the programs and settings.
maybe RunCC is in your ROM...
thanks for the help everyone, managed to get around this using SPB backup trial which let me essentially clone the device, and restore this back to the rest.
