Hey all,
I'm using Lakeridge's WAD and WA3 and I can't seem to find the exe for the stock alarm on my Touch/Vogue.
Any idea where it is so I can link on my phone's desktop?
Thanks.

It's called "clock.exe", located under the Windows directory. Typically, all your basic apps, or anything preinstalled, will be found here.
Thanks, Champ.

No prob ! If you spend about 20 min to search through the windows directory and look at all the image and .exe files there, you'll get a better idea of where most things are.
On the subject of stock exe's. Does anyone know what the exe is to bring up the main windows mobile settings?... the settings that launch through the start menu.
Before the 6.1 update I linked to htcsettings.exe. I've searched all over this phone and I can't find it now.

Sorry for this stupid question but this is my third day of having a windows mobile 5 xda (the cingular 8125) and I'm having problems installing .cab files. I started with the "DJVW HTC Wizard Optimizer 2.0.cab". I moved the cab to the root directory of the device, tapped on it, and it went through the progress bar, told me that it had installed, but then when I went to look for the newly installed program, i couldn't find it anywhere. I also tried this with a few games and other apps. What am I doing wrong that it keeps telling me that it installed fine, but I can't find the programs. Thanks for your help in this.

You may have tried but have you used explorer to check if the files have installed under "Programs"? I've often seen cab files install but the shortcuts not get installed though the programs are there. If you find them then connect to your PC and use explore from Activesync, create shortcust and drop them in the windows\start menu folder.
Yeah, I have tried that... I even tried to a search for the files to no avail. Any other ideas? I really appriciate the help.
You've got me stumped. Personally I always drop the cabs on the SD card and install from there thats the only thing I can see different. Maybe it's a problem with dropping it in the root directory - have you tried dropping it under the programs folder and then installing?
correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the wizard optimizer cab just tweak a few settings/registey values? a cab of this nature will not show up in your programs list because it isn't a program, it just changes stuff. this is normal, the same thing happened when i installed some camera tweaking cabs. so the cab has worked fine, done its job, there is nothing else you need to do.
I'm not liking the fact that I can't see filename extensions while browsing in File Explorer, so I searched this forum, and quickly learned of the freeware app called TotalCommander. Everyone on this forum that's using it seems to love this powerful app, which sounds like it will do what I want plus much more.
So I found the 2.5 version (which is the latest version I can find), downloaded it onto my HTC-PPC6800, and executed it. I immediately got a message that the program was not for portable PC devices. What gives? Is it that this version is only for WM5? Is there a later version out there that I just haven't found yet?
If I'm just not able to use TotalCommander, is there another similar app that I could install? I truly would like to accomplish two things...first, as I mentioned earlier, I would like to see filename extensions. Second, I would like for there to be a way for me to see the entire filename (or at the very least, a lot more than the dozen or so characters I can see now). I have many files that the first 15 or 20 characters are the same, and I can't tell the difference between them when I look them up on File Explorer!
Once again, I very much appreciate the help!
Try CE FileCommander 1.0.
there are a few versions of the 2.5 beta 3 they made
try the first one on this list, the others are for other processor types or older versions of win ce and

Thanks so much for the reply...but unfortunately, that's the exact one I used! I removed it and re-copied it back to the phone (I created a folder called TotalCommander under the Program Files folder, and pasted it in there), and tried to install it again, but I got the same error message.
Any more ideas???
gsfinder works good....It shows the filename and the extentions...
I got Total Commander/CE v2.5 PB3 from here:
http://www.freewareppc.com/download/utilities/totalcommander.shtml
It's been working fine on my Mogul. I used the ActiveSync install.
If you're downloading the .exe, you have to run it on your PC, not your 6800.
yeah the reason you get that error could be because you are trying to run an activesync install pc exe on a pocketpc
No way! Wow...as I said...I'm a newbie to this!
Okay then...I ran the .exe on my PC and it said that it installed it on my portable PC device via ActiveSync, but there were no messages on my PPC6800, nor can I find any sign of TotalCommander.
I'm sure I've missed something...can someone tell me what it is???
You've installed the Activesync software that came with the phone, right?
You run the .exe
You sync your phone.
Then it installs when you sync.
Not sure how it works with Vista, but that's how it works with XP.
Frankenbike:
That was it!
I swear...there's like twenty different ways to install stuff on these WM devices, huh?
But it's in there and working like a champ!
Thanks to you and everyone else for your help with this!
(Whatever did we do before we had forums? Read the manual???)
dont think there are 20 5 maybe
How can we check out the dependency files, like some .dll files, of a .exe running in Windows Mobile?
I am using LG KS20, and recently DIY to port my rom from 6.0 to 6.1.
However, my camera is not working properly in my DIY rom, so i want to check out the dependency files of my camera.exe and therefore fix it.

I believe DotFred's excellent Task Manager should be able to do the job you're looking to do. You can get it here: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm. Hope it helps.
Cheers,

THx, Soul_Est
But now i have another problem, when i run my camera.exe, which is actually LGCamera.exe, it is in full screen mode so how can i switch to taskmgr while i m running the LGCamera.exe?
program a button to display the today screen....the Camera will still be running in the background after you press the today button, and you can run taskmanager.
However once i press other button like "Call" the camera.exe will exit entirely b4 get to today sceern.
But finally, i have solved that out
PE Explorer
Resource Hacker
Dependency Walker
Those software above could check for dependency
SKTools has it all!

Actually, SK-Tools does a great job of this. If you go to the "Installed Programs" tab, it will show an entry for pretty much every "installed" executable...when you tap on the app in question, it shows all of the files and relevant registry entries for that program. Hope this helps, I've used it for this purpose many times....
Hi Everybody!
I should receive my 2nd hand HTC Diamond Touch today.
With all the mods, hacks and apps on this here forum, I was wondering what was the first thing you changed on your handset?
For me I will be unlocking the device and hoopefully the ROM.
Any suggestions as to what to mod/hack next?
{?
The ROM because the retail ROM sucks!
My New (to me) Diamond
Changed the ROM to shaks 4.30 topaz, installed touch HD weather app, Background4all, Transparent slider and Glass Clock V2. Oh yeah, and the changescreen rotation application for landscape mode.
Look around and experiment with what you like and works best for you. The forum's a wealth of information if you take the time to search!
tried all the newer roms out there, and so far, the quickest bug free ROM ive used is duttys v4....its quick, with loads of memory left...(see ROM link in my sig to go straight to the ROM)
then, i normally change the clock, the top curtain, and then the slider.

Very stable, I haven't had a problem yet. I've been heavily using it since yesterday and I haven't been able to find a bug or anything that bothers me yet.
You should try it, you will be amazed of how finger friendly it is!
Don't even get me started on how smooth it goes with scrolling!
Thanks for your replies so far!
I didn't get much time to play with my phone today. However, I have managed to de-brand and do a sim unlock. So for now, my spec reads:
ROM VERSION 1.37.405.1 WWE
RADIO VERSION 1.20 oliNex
PROTOCOL VERSION 52.26A.25.09H
I have tried to install a few apps, but failed. The "set up" files are all .XML and seem to open up in my browser????
{>
I think you didn't notice the .xml files are actually within the setup file.
The setups are .CAB files, you simply move them onto the internal storage and execute them within your mobile phone.
Have fun!
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Not sure what I am doing here?
I transfered the programs to the internal storage (my docs). However, there is no .cab file.
When I click on the program file, it either shows me a blank screen with the program name at the top or other folders e.g. open sensors or open GLES.
The programs I am trying to install are:
air horn
Diamond beer
htorch
WiFi monster
Many Thanks

When you download a program for example Diamond Beer (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-diamond-beer.html)
You will download a file called DiamondBeer2Installer-v0_1.cab
That is a CAB file. When you see that you copy it to the internal storage and run it from your mobile phone.
But sometimes (usually when it's made by real developers) you get a executable. Those are either to be run from your pc and with ur mobile phone hooked up using activesync. Or if it gives you an error when trying to execute it from your pc then most likely it's telling you that you aren't running windows mobile (means you're not running it from your mobile phone while you're supposed to), then it's the program itself (the actual and final .exe) and you will have to make a directory on your internal storage yourself and copy the .exe in there (No automated installation involved).
Sorry for the long and maybe senseless story but it's late here and I'm in a hurry.
Enjoy
Hello again and thanks for your patience!
I have downloaded said file. I used winzip to extract, then cut and paste the folder in my "internal storage" on my device.
Inside there are three folders:
_setup (which is the .xml file I was talking about earlier)
Diamon~1.000
Diamon~10001
When I click on the setup file, me device just goes to IE:
file:/internal%20storage/DiamonBeer2Installer-v_1/_setup.xml

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.
