Windows Based Programs???

OK I have looked all over this forum and done a few searches but since I don't know what i am looking for searching really doesn't work.
What I am looking for is software that will allow me to modify a ROM like the XDA dev. 1.2 that can be downloaded, I only want to take out MS messanger and add yahoo.
I am also looking for software based in windows that will allow me to create my own ROMs.
these 2 request might be one in the same and I kinda hope they are.
Also is there any PPC 2003 ROMs or software that will let me mess with it?
I have the XDAtools and pretty much everything else I could find via this site and others.
Granted I might already have the software needed but I am not going to just run the software when I am unsure what it will do, 399 for a PPCPE isn't a thing I want to experiment on when I am not sure I have the write tools.
Well anyway I feel like a major noob, but did look around the best I could for this info. Thanks to anyone with any help on this and hope to become a useful member of this forum.

Have you been here??
www.yorch.net

I was there but really didn't look around or anything but now I will. Thanks.

I have been there and see I will create(cook) a custom ROM but I also will be learning how to hack these things with a PC or Macintosh since I know how to spell Unix and thats as far as I want to get with it. I know everything here is great and the work that everyone has done is also great and I am learning a lot in the short time I have been here and will learn tons more as time goes by. I am one of those people though that can't leave well enough alone and likes to make the OS of my machine have and do what I want. I have "hacked" many versions of windows and the Mac OS and guess with what I learn here and what I know from the computer world will do the same with the pocket PC also.
I would still like some leads though or if someone else has done something like create windows based software for cookin roms that would be cool to learn about or get too.

email me when you figure out how to change the boot image on xda1, and maybe modify (add/remove) programs from rom. that will come in handy after hard resets.
the folks of this website have apparently given up on us. too busy playing with xda2 and drinking beers (look above).
by the way... yahoo dont work on pocket pc no more! they stoped THAT particular server at yahoo... i can log-on yahoo, but via other client programs, but not the yahoo for ppc.
keep in touch.
ps: love your show "mcgyver"

i use iMov...u can use ur exsisting yahoo, AIm, msn, icq, sms messeging accounts on it, works fine, even tells me wen ive received emails
but since ur McGyver.....im sure all u need is a roll if used up toliet paper, 2 paper clips, toothpaste, and aluminum foil, an im sure can do anything

Well I currently don't own the Pocket PC Phone Edition as of yet, I will be getting it ASAP, looking for the best deal right now. Email me at [email protected] and I will tell you what I can and can't do with these things once I get my hands on it and mess around with it. I have also got a small collection of software already for it. I plan ahead. As for the yahoo server no longer being there thats very intresting and I will look into it and see what can and can't be done about it.

Lumines for PPC

Has anyone played the GREAT PSP puzzler Lumines? If not, I suggest you all play this flash clone here http://www.gamesforwork.com/games/play-7737-Ryokan-Flash_Game .
I was wondering if anyone was developing a mobile version of this game? This is an absolutely amazing game. The music and graphics are a sight to behold, and the gameplay is as addicting as ever. Some go as far as saying it's the new Tetris.

It would be awesome to get a port for this game. I have it on PSP and also on Xbox 360 (Live download). Great game!

I Hear you. I've been looking for Lumines for the longest time, even trying to play the flash variants on my phone (too slow). Actually, i was thinking a Meteos clone would be even better, but no one has even tried to tackle that, so I've pretty much given up on it, lol. Anyway, i think i found what you want, I haven't tested it yet but it is FREEWARE, which is always great
http://www.zielok.com/?action=onegame&game=samulos
Hope it works
[edit]
ok i tested it just now, initially i was superexcited because it seemed to be just like Lumines. however, the difference is that, you know that sweeping line that clears up the combos? it's gone. it's replaced by a timer, and all combos disappear when the timer reaches zero. kinda removes some of the fun, trying to toss in more blocks before the line clears it away, but other than that it's a great way to satiate my PSP envy.

cab file
i have made a cab.

Ahh close, but it's not quite Lumines.
Is anyone working on a clone? Or even a port, since apparently it's open source and out for PC?

Check out Loomies. I haven't tried it but looks like the original.

This is the version from w800i it's 240x320 and works with latest jbed

but it gets stuck at the "activate sound" page for lumines.zip. can anyone tell me how to get across that page.

like los1223 posted Loomies is a clone of Lumines. Sad part is its not free. Link to the Loomies site http://www.clickgamer.com/moreinfo.htm?pid=13963&section=PPC

Requesting Soulseek P2P App Port for PPC

I would love to see this wonderful program being ported to WinMo, as there is even a great port of it for the iPhone.
Who's Interested in developing this?
I would've done it by now, but have no prior or current programing experience what-so-ever.

Sweet
I didn't know there was soulseek for the iphone. that is sweet. Lets rally em up boys. Develop WMSLSK. Show em how its done.

Theirs gotta be someone who's at least mildly interested, Please post a reply saying you may give this a chance, or even better a GO.

I wish
I wish I was a programmer. Sadly I only know web design type stuff. If you don't know what soulseek is check out http://www.slsknet.org

This is a great idea!

That's not a bad idea. There used to be an eDonkey client for ppc called Mopiphant, but it was more of a proof of concept. I enjoy using Wuzam to download songs on the go, though lately I've had best results with Opera as they've revamped the site. I also recommend JimmyR.com's mp3 search which is a frontend for searching google for mp3's. Might be two good alternatives until a PPC port of a good P2P program is developed.
Cheers
So I did some searching around and I remembered a program from years back called "Pocket G2" which had it's development ceased for some reason. But I checked it out again and actually found a downloadable copy here: http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/2/4/734745/PocketG2Pro-2401_PPC.ARM.CAB
Anywho, here's the dirt. Pocket G2 requires a 3.3 mb install and Net1.0CF which is included in the hefty install. I couldn't get any searches to work at first, but I looked around and found this Gnutella network server cache http://gcachescan.jonatkins.com/
Just click on a few of the server addresses on that site and copy the url into G2 so you'll be able to search the network. The url's should start with http:// ... and end with .php, though others may work, I haven't yet tested as the setup I have now seems to work fine for me. I did experience a crash when my device powered off and brought up S2U2.. not sure if disabling power management would fix the issue or if there is a conflict there, but I'll keep testing and post an update later. Let me know what you guys think.
Cheers

Ive actually tried Pocket G2. its extremely buggy, always crashing, and even left minimized would eventually terminate.
Ugh, i would totally LOVE to see a Soulseek port for WinMo... I have Winmobile Torrent for my phone already, Making me feel a lot better that my phone can actually be used in advantageous moments. (w00t big words )
Otherwise, i looked around, not really many notable P2P Apps for Mobiles yet... such a shame. Sept wmtorrent.

rebump :-/
Comn peoples, is there not 1 person who is capable of coding this? Should i ask the guy who ported it to iPhone to make a WinMo Port? he probably has no Coding experience for WinMo tho...
ANYONE~~!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

been using g2 for about a year, the alpha and the beta are in the list on my sig.
it does crash on occasion but the beta is fairly stable

Hmm, Should I wait or upgrade now?

Regarding Windows 6.1
Should I just install it now? Or wait til NSPSD4 releases his ROM?

You could install now, the phone is usable and there are just a few adjustments to make it 99%
But if you're not in the mood to do that (reg edits, cabs and files) just wait to the final version. I believe it's worth.

Don't wait. It is faster at booting & some bloat has already been removed. The network wizard cab was a necessity post install for me.

very worth it imo... if you have the default neo tmo rom on there it bogs it down quite a bit... with the clean dev you have more storage space, more ram available due to using less system resources and overall a bettery experience, and its noticeable...
all the fixes for problems have been posted, and theres some goodies that still work fine from freddyreyes.com

I thought that a 4.2 version was in the works that would include all the reg fixes, patches, and programs.
if not can someone create a step by step sheet that simplifies what all the other threads on 3 different sites have come up with? I use my phone for every day stuff, and I cannot be messing with it over 5 days sorting through the mess of posts that I saw. I'm sure I am not the only one that wants this, and or benifit from a condensed all in one guide. I don't want to come off sounding like a stuck up or lazy person, but am looking at the big picture and seeing a very large mess that seriously needs sorted out. and I for one won't do it as I don't know which reg entries are correct or what programs are absolutly needed and cause someone somewhere alot of grief.
I can wait for a new release, but if all the stuff was to be gathered up nice and neat then there would be no need for another release, and save ND4SPD alot of time and trouble.....

i'll add as i come up with more, but that should get you started fairly well... N4 is coming out with his soon so no point in me trying to start up a cab with all this included and installed
your welcome

That is a start, but I remember seeing issues like the background screen during calls looked bad, and something with MMS setup and txt reply issues. I see that most of it is not a make or break thing but more of a convenience or eye sore.
thanks for posting stuff that you have so far, but man I seen alot of regedits and once I gather them all I'll see what is really needed. Like I said I want to do this upgrade, but I want everything laid out in front of me so I can dedicate the time needed for the upgrade, cause it is a real pain for me to make time(at least till college ends) to mess with stuff where it is a trial and error situation. Thanks for the start and lets try and get a nice and tidy list going.
Also for the Jbed program there a few fixes out there that I found once, didn't book mark, to fix stuff like the bottom of the screen cutting off and showing the stuff from the background, and performance settings, and other items. I really need a better way of bookmarking crap I really do.....
thanks for the starting run....
P.S. I plan on doing this this weekend.

I just noticed that that is for the clean dev install.... on allshadow there is another install that I was looking at that I want to do that is not the same as the clean dev install. Not sure which one is better, can anyone chime in on that?
BTW I have the shadow version(I know they are the same, just stating)

Ha, I went ahead and upgraded.

i'd wait.
i read that camera and video don't work properly right?
i can care less about those stupid myfaves..
can someone make like a review of he good n the bad?

Htc vogue help please

Hello,
I have an HTC Vogue, and need a fair bit of help, I have continuing medical appointments and have to be early for them, this gives me some free time before my appoinments.
Anyway, I am not very savoy with my PPC, and could use some detailed help please.
I have tried and tried to get videos to play and the best i have been able to do, is divx, but it is choosy about what it will play and then some media plays nice with full sound and others play with no sound, and some just give an error saying incompatable video or sound and wont play at all.
I also like games and have a few that work, but allot of the apps that are supposed to work with the HTC Vogue, have an xml setup file and some other files, but I dont know how to install these.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Uhhhh.......
Alright, I assume you have no problems with the appt input.
For the video player, I recommend CorePlayer, anout $25, purchase from direct website for better price, or check Handango for a deal. Or you could use the OLD version TCPMP, does the same thing, just older and uglier !
For the games, you need to install the .cab file, not open it on your PC. Just put the file on your device, find it in the file explorer, tap on it, and let it do its job.

HTC Vogue
Thank you,
I found a 3rd TCPMP, and it works fine, deleted the other 2 versions that didnt work.
some of the files i have, right clicking even on zip/rar files brings up a menu with CABviaActiveSync. some files install correctly, and others throw an exception.
cant wait till my 2 years is up to ditch this ppc for the new Samsung Omnia, hopfully in 6 months or so, i can upgrade....might wait just a little and do better research to get the best ppc out
Thank you for your reply.
