Hi there,
I was trying pretty hard to get Windows Live Messenger to work on my MDA Compact IV (SwiftBL ROM) and I've finally done it!
This is what I did:
- Install Windows Live NoIM 0409.cab
- Soft reset
- Install Windows Live 10.6.39.1300.cab (with messenger)
- Soft reset
Other versions I've tried had problems like Messenger not loading up (executing it does nothing at all) or cannot tap to sign in to windows live, cannot tap to sign in to messenger, laggy/slow execution of windows live, etc.
Hope this helps someone!
Sir,
This is the solution for me! I've been trying to install Windows Live Messenger for weeks now, and this one finally worked on my MDA Vario IV. Thank you!
awesome! thanks for the fix, used it on my Axim X50V wm 6.1
Thanks.... it works on my Diamond!
Doesnt the Diamond already come with Windows live

thank...it work on my t-mobile mda compact 4
Thanks, working on my diamond.
good job！！thanks a lot!
I just reinstaled the messenger cab and it worked again, phew
worked perfect! thanks!
Confirmed this works for a Dutch T-Mobile MDA Vario IV. (Touch Pro)
I just ran all the programs you (topicstarter) described and it works like a charm. Didn't try without installing the NoIM package first.
Thanks for the help.
I'm going to try this on my girlfriends MDA Compact IV (Touch Diamond) too, but judging from the comments from other users, it will probably work.
I had been running a LIVE Messenger cab from XDA on my Vario III, but it refused to run on my girlfriends Compact IV. At some point I gave up looking for a solution... Until I got my Vario IV
Used fring for a while, but it crashes for no reason and it appears (from their forums) that Fring stores all your IM passwords in a central database... Not something I really like.
lol no offense to the OP, but that method is pretty dumb. not only does it take a while to do, but it also downgrades you back to the older version of 10.6.39.1300
....check out the screenshot attachment in this post at the bottom. *gasp!* version 10.6.42.1900 with Messenger listed as an Installed Component.
All you need to do folks is re-add the registry keys that the NoIM installation removes for Messenger, and then WLMMessenger.exe executes and logs in just fine.
Attached in this post is a registry file in RestoreWLMMessenger.zip. You can use your favorite registry editing program to import it, or, my preferred method: use CeRegEditor (http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl). A very handy freeware PC program that lets you edit your device's registry once connected. Click the very first button in the toolbar to establish a connection after you plugged in your device, and then press CTRL+I to import the registry file.
...And you're done! No reset required.
To restore your Messenger icon in your Programs window, (because the NoIM installation also removes that!!!!), copy the Messenger.lnk file (also in the RestoreWLMMessenger.zip file) to your \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder on your device.
I thought of making a .CAB to do all this for you but it would add a redundant entry to your Remove Programs list. It's better without the clutter
On the other hand a modified .CAB of the NoIM installation with its _setup.xml modified to include the missing registry keys would work as well, (though other files in the .CAB would also need to be altered).
For T-Mobile users: T-Mobile has come with a Windows Live for Windows devices. You can download it from their site.

look everyone .. nice trick ... looking forward to try it by myself ..

Works OK.
As it's for smartphone though there are no scroll bars. Need to navigate with the d-pad or arrow keys.
This looks good, but I can't get it to run on my JasJar. I didn't apply the hires hack, I wonder if that does something else to it as well. It installs fine, but when I try to run, it doesn't load.
You need to do a soft reset after installing or it won't work.
Is this some kind of beta or a trial version?
I just created a cab file from the original files, but still I'm not able to run it, I installed it on wm2003se device, plz any one take a look at it and force it to run if it's possible.
Universal Doc, I think it's a trial version. That's what I downloaded from the Opera site anyway.
I can't get it to to run on my device though. It seems to install -- I soft reset as instructed above, but when I click it to run, it doesn't run, the cursor circle pops up and runs for a brief moment, but then nothing else happens.
I tried the CAB file posted above, but it won't install on my device. Gets about 80% done, then a message pops up that says unable to install on the device.
No luck for me yet - hopefully Opera will release their WM5 version soon. I really like miss TrueVGA browsing.
it's a smartphone application not a pocketpc application
2003SE cant run smartphone applications only 2005 can do that
It does not work for me yet, such a shame (the devices are brothers of each other but don't have the same blood) but mine is a wm2005 machine now.
I get:
- Opera load failure
- Unable to load opera.dll
Can anybody post the opera.dll, maybe someone or meself can compare de dll's and can get this to work on his BlueAngel brother.

Right, and the JasJar I'm trying on is a WM5 machine. Isn't that the forum we are in?
I downloaded Opera 8 for Smartphones from Opera website, installed on my Jasjar, soft reset and I am able to run it. I installed the application to my main memory and not to the storage card.
However it is not a perfect run on the Jasjar, for example when I open the Hotmail website it takes me to the mobile hotmail website and not the full hotmail website. Furthermore it just takes me to the log-in page and cannot go further because when I enter the username in the prescribed box every press of the keys enters 2 characters simultaneously. For example when I enter "s" it would enter "ss" and so on.
I believe we will have to wait till Opera releases the version for Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC.

hi guys
I am using the O2 Exec and just upgraded to Qtek's latest WWE ROM. However I noticed that after upgrading, that some programmes display weird symbols instead of normal text. These programmes include:
- Opera browser
- Today Time (a today plugin telling the time, written by a member here)
Is there any way to get rid of these symbols?
ok found the solution
basically its a problem on Opera side. All you need to do is to copy a system font (i chose Arial) from your desktop PC to the windows folder of your PPC.
Note: It's the windows folder and not the windows/font folder.
That should do the trick and you can now use one of the best browsers on one of the best PPCs.
Hope that helps
Worked for me. Thanks.
I am grateful for the tip .... it solved me a lot of hassle

Hi, someone here wrote that it is impossible to create office 2007 cab file. I tried it and here is a result... Download the cab file and install it, then reset the device. It works only on WM6 for now, but I'll try to make it for WM5 too.
Tested on Wizard WM6 (5.2.318 Build 15342.0.0.0).
Download link: http://rapidshare.com/files/35775212/jimm98y_office2007.CAB.html
Here is new version:
+ executables are compressed
+ fixed uninstall bug with deleting icons
- still doesn't work on WM5
Download link: http://rapidshare.com/files/35900969/jimm98y_office2007.CAB.html
Download mirror: http://sharegadget.com/563261821 - working (6.5.2008)
nice, i will try..let see if realy works and dont dupe the office
works without any problem (Most Beautiful WM6) at Wizard. Thanks
diky moc
works here too with core 2.0n
sorry for sounding so ignorant but what exactly is this.... mobile office 2007??
afaik it is an update to the three mobile office applications to support the new office 2007 fileformat.
but does it add any other features?
yes, there is a new application One Note Mobile...

on my wm5 device i can install it with onenote 2007 on my pc.
what is new in this app? the normal notes application seems to be more useful.
Is there anything in the Cab that is making it an only Wizard cab?
No, it should work on every QVGA WM6 device

I agree, I just went through the cab, good work, doesn't appear to have anything device specific, Thanks.
What program did you use for building the cab, just curious.
I used cabwiz.exe for ppc and the *.inf file, because I think that it's the best way of making cabs...

Any idea where I can download, I don't want to download the entire SDK tools.
WM5
Top stuff, any news on a WM5 version
worked on my Black 3, Thanks, but it takes about 5-6MBs off the device memory.. that's just too much
Great stuff!
Works on a SDK-image too, but only on the English ones. I tried it on a Dutch SDK, but that won't work.
Installation worked flawless on my German WM6 ROM with my Herald. No Problems opening a .docx file, but Excel won't start at all.

How did it only take 5 - 6 MB of Storage Memory. Mine dropped from 20.11mb down to 6.91mb. . . WAAAYYY too much for me. Too bad, too. . . it was working flawlessly . . . and I really wanted the OneNote app, too.
Disregard that. . . DOH!! After I deleted the .cab file, I gained back almost 7MB of Storage Space. . . a little more "liveable" now.

pontui ui on BA WM6 HELMI
Long process to get to installed programs or settings.Ocassionaly encountered problems with pockettv(blurred) and camera won't start.Soft reset is needed to overcome the problem. Installed Pontui using CAB file and after uninstalled using WM6 Remove programs, the software remained under /program files.Manually deleted pontuis folder, but the icons remained under programs.Unable to delete them. At bottom tray, can't delete Home(used to be tray for Phone).
Any advise to remove them?TQ
hi guys (and girlz)
i have a question about some program/application icons on my htc snap with windows mobile 6.5, it comes with some pre-installed stuff and i want to delete the icons (not uninstall, just delete) and re-arrange them (so they won't apprear in my menu screen).
i came accross the problem, that when i use the explorer (in wm 6.5), the option, copy/paste/delete is not available, when i connect the device to my laptop using the windows explorer, i thought i would be able to go in to the windows folder of the device (like in wm5.0 and wm6.1).
however, that, it seems, is not the case, coz the folder does not appear in the windows explorer, does any one of you got some ideas i can try or do?
oh, and before i forget, does anyone of you also got a wm6.1 rom for the htc snap laying arround (non wiki links, since that is not working at the moment).
chill, hope to hear from you, thanx in advance.
kind regards,
alex (htc snap s521)

i think i found a solution, using total commander, i give it a try and see how.
