Dear forum members,
Update for Speaker On fix during a call we can do this:
From Start\Task Manager\regedit we go to: HKLM\Drivers\Speaker
and we change the name value from SPK1: to WAV1:
I will also prepare and upload a small cab to do this registry update.
This is the updated Rom for Mio A701: WWE-WM6.1-CE-OS-5.2.21109-Build-21109.1.6.0, Mobile Vista 4.00 SeaDragon.
With this rom Mio A701 is now capable among many new features to play You Tube videos.
The CE image is based on the Official WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.21109 ( Build 21109.1.6.0 ).
This SeaDragon 4.00 Version is completely different than previous rom builds, so let see again the details:
1. Memory Management.
.. New memory and storage memory modules have been introduced that speed up all relevant operations and
.... increase the overall device performance.
.. These modules are to support both xip and sys parts of the rom and relevant registry settings are improved.
.. The registry parts i.e. default and user, are completely redesigned and expanded.
.. I believe that this rom is close to 95 percent of the rom of the htc tytn ii device.
2. Power Management.
.. New Power management service has been implemented
.. Backlight.cpl and Power.cpl modules are not redirected to the relevant *.exe in order for new languages to be displayed natively.
.. The backlight.cpl accepts 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 2min, 3min, 4min and 5 min on battery power.
.. All icons of AllInOne are working and one more are included in the icon tray.
.. The so long inactive green battery icon is now working and displays the backlight.cpl module.
... After flashing, as bellow is described, i tested for mane power off and resets and for some days up to now, and is working fine.
... From that icon we change screen's brightness immediately but do not change the backlight timeout.
.. The icon battery in the Task Bar top right is directed to the power.exe module.
... From this module the backlight timeout can be changed and take place immediately at 10sec, 30sec, 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min and 5min.
... Do not change the screen's brightness from this module cause this is vise versa in horizontal direction and a reset is needed for settings to be applied.
3. The Phone
.. Phone is fixed with the implementation of callserv.dll, tkitloader.dll 's and a small in code fix but lot of time to create it.
.. Now in Start\Programs you will see your providers menu lnk, for instance Vodafone Menu (*.lnk)
.. During first rom release it is reported that the fix works in all countries around the world.
.. In phone settings we see many new tabs at the bottom of the screen that allows many new functions.
.. In the last tab you can set automatic call receiving i.e. after 1, 2 or .. rings that is good when driving and bluetooth is enabled.
.. It seems that the radio rom download is possible so we may start cooking the radio rom too.
4. Calls Over Bluetooth.
.. When receiving a call we can activate the phone and voice with one (1) click on the bluetooth device multi task button.
.. After finishing our conversation, we can deactivate the phone again with one (1) click on multi task button.
.. This is valid with the first call only during a bluetooth session.
.. In the second and next calls it is a little tricky and undocumented. Please think of your safety first when driving a car.
.. With one click first we activate the phone receiving and next with a double (quick) click on multi task button we activate voice receiving.
.. Remember that after finishing our conversation, we apply a double click to deactivate voice and then a single click to deactivate the phone.
.. As previously said is safer when driving to enable automatic phone activation after desired number or rings and use a single clicks.
5. Audio Management.
.. All audio functions have been reworked and now you can play:
.. .aac, .3gp, .3g2, .3gpp, .m4a, .m4v, .mp3, .mp4, .wmv, .amr, .rmi, .rv, .ra .rm and .rma audio and video in windows media player.
.. Files with .rm , .rma, .rv and .ra requires Q8real.cab to be installed.
.. I am working for further development in order to include .avi and some more codecs.
.. If a .3gp file is not working in video or audio, you can rename it to .3gpp and test it.
.. The provided Audio Manager includes an audio booster and is required for A2DP stereo listening.
6. Blue Tooth wireless stereo.
.. Wireless Stereo has been reworked and the provided a2dp is almost lag/skip free.
.. It is required to cradle the device in mains power and set it from e-Utility to Super Performance or for no lag/skip with XCPUScalar to 624 MHZ.
.. It was tested with BB-02 wireless stereo head phone with very good results.
.. A2DP Toggle -1.1 of Teksoftco is provided in a cab with very good performance.
.. When driving please follow the rules and stop at the emergency lane when making or receiving a call.
7. Obex over Blue Tooth.
.. Obex File Transport is supported and you can send/receive files with btcrawler, total commander and fexplorer easily.
8. Blue Tooth over Activesync.
.. You can connect your device wireless and have control of all your windows and SD card files.
.. In order to connect we must enable advanced network functionality from Start\Settings\Connections\USB to PC.
.. There is a small procedure in Hacking and Development of how to, if you face a problem.
.. In short we first activesync our device with a USB cable connection and then over bluetooth.
9. WiFi/Wlan Management.
.. New functions and drivers are provided in order to speed up your file transfer operations.
.. I did not test them myself due to a new card delivery delays.
a. D3D drivers.
.. D3D drivers are tested and working as you can test it from Start\Programs\Apps with D3Ddemo, Lights3D and Text3D.
b. User Interfaces.
.. You can have the simple windows mobile, Htc Home, Htc Home Diamond and Manila 2D Sea Dragon interfaces.
.. In the provided VistaLibWWE21109MVSD4_00 library all cabs can be installed manually as desired.
.. A special manual procedure is described bellow in order to have you Tube with the minimum cabs and maximum remaining program and storage space.
.. An SDConfig.txt file is provided with the a simple reset function or we can flash without the SD card in the slot.
c. Applications.

GSW 3.2.2_3.1.00.12 - SDK.003P1.01a
C. Instructions to successfully flash the rom CE image
Here bellows are the instructions to successfully flash it.
Unzip the downloaded file: Mio_A701_WWE_WM6.1.21109.MobileVista4.00SeaDragon_by_ansar.zip
and in the created directory you will have the following:
1. This readme.txt file.
2. The VistaLibWWE21109MVSD4_00 directory with the subdirectories:
3. The control text file SDConfig.txt of a single rest instruction.
4. The rom binary image Mio_A701_WWE_WM6.1.21109.MobileVista4.00SeaDragon_by_ansar.bin
Before flashing we make a backup of our files in Storage Card using the Data Backup Program or PIM Backup from my previous roms or your favorite backup.
In case you do not have a backup application install the Backup.cab (is PIMBackup) found in the VistaLibWWE21109MVSD4_00 directory.
Use the same backup application you used to save your data in order to recover them after flashing.
Place the VistaLibWWE21109MVSD4_00 dir and the SDConfig.txt file in the Storage Card and
flash the Mio_A701_WWE_WM6.1.21109.MobileVista4.00SeaDragon_by_ansar.bin image file as follows:
a. Enter Mio A701 in boot loader menu by pressing and holding Volume UP and then also pressing and holding the Power On button.
.... When led power on, release both buttons and press the navi down key in order to enter to boot loader.
.... Press Navi Down to go to FlashROM Upgrade by USB and press the central Navi key to select this sub menu.
.... Then press Navi Down to go to CE img By USB and press the central Navi key to select this option.
.... Wait to see the message Waiting for image...
b. Check that in a PC/Laptop have unchecked the Allow USB connections option before connecting.
.... Connect Mio A701 to a PC/Laptop with a usb cable.
.... In Windows Vista we must have the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center, the Mio A701 Drivers and ScoterRomUpdate-R01.exe installed.
c. Place the Mio_A701_WWE_WM6.1.21109.MobileVista4.00SeaDragon_by_ansar.bin, run ScoterRomUpdate-R01.exe and follow the instructions.
d. After the successful flashing of the rom, in your device select exit, and then:
..... 1. if Uboot 48 is installed in the device, select the Enter Deepsleep option and then perform a Hard Reset.
....... Hard Reset is enabled by pressing and holding Volume Down key and then pressing the power button.
....... When a vibration is activated, release both keys.
..... 2. if not Uboot 48, select WatchDog reset.
e. Remember to tick again the Allow USB connections option in your PC in order to activesync by USB cable connection later on.
The Rom flashing process will perform as follows:
a. Loads all splash screens, performs the welcome screen and displays the initial Today screen.
b. Then loads Mobile_Vista theme and installs the cabs that reside in the rom.
c. Executes the reset instruction of SDConfig.txt and
d. Will finish after machine's final Reset and final boot.
e. The device displays the phone security pin entry procedure and after that enters in Mobile Windows today screen.
f. Now we start the manual cab installation exactly as follows:
... If not already, insert your Storage Card in the side slot and cradle your device to mains power due to the 10sec timeout and to preserve battery.
... With total commander we go to the Storage Card\VistaLibWWE21109MVSD4_00 directory and select CabsToWindows directory.
... We find and double click on M2DSeaDragon.cab and perform installation in Windows. We reset device by side reset hole using stylus.
... We find and double click on StreamingMedia.cab and again perform installation in Windows. We reset device by click on OK.
... We find and double click on YouTube.cab and do as in previous line.
... We find and double click on SeaDragonFiles.cab and again perform installation in Windows.
... We Power off the device and then power on again.
... Now everything will be working as designed.
... In order for the You Tube to connect and display we need:
... 1. The phone to be connected to our mobile operator
... 2. A fast ADSL line for internet connection and
... 3. To actvesync our device over bluetooth or wi-fi with a PC/Laptop.
... Welcome to the You Tube era with your device first among few devices, and not only.
... Other cabs from Storage Card\VistaLibWWE21109MVSD4_00 directory are optional.
... You tube need 10MB free in order to run, so do not over cab your device.
... A good option is to install AudioManager.cab and XCPUScalar.cab for best Audio and extreme A2DP no skip functionality.
Note 1: The new keyboard layout has options for small and big letters
and it is predefined to initial setup of small letters.
Note 2: The key of Windows Player is assigned to Start Menu activation and
Note 3: The key of navigation is assigned to <OK/close> for better performance.
Note 4: Regedit (the one part of task manager) and Total Commander are assigned in the known inside touch keys.
Note 5: As you already noticed all screens (initial splash, windows welcome and AutoRun) are redesigned as well as
the Mobile_Vista.tsk theme, the Comm Manager, the Phone, the Audio Manager and the Streaming Media player.
Note 6: Internet explorer has two new home screens.
The first has help, IE Home, HTC Home and Xda Developers.
If you tap on IE Home the well known iexplorer home screen is seen.
When you tap on menu>tools>options you can set the current, IE home as home page.
You can always go back to the first page from menu>tools>options and setting use default.
Note 7: The well known SRS WOW HD driver is in the rom as package for enhanced HD sound.
Note 8: The bottom screen plug-in has eight small buttons where from left to right you can have:
- The hdspa (prestidge) icon
- The green for on off the phone

More icons can be seen as:

- If Task Manager is activated and minimized, a small icon of TM is also installed.
- When buetooth is activated an extra flashing bt icon is installed.
- When activesync over bluetooth is activated another icon is revealed.
Note 9: If Visual GPSce application is installed for Sirf or NMEA protocol then you can have
plenty of screens for almost any gps info. The bottom right flashing icon is green when fix is made
and can be blue when differential gps signal is received, depending on differential satellites found.
Note a: The S2U2 is redesigned and starts automatically when SDConfig.txt option is selected.
From Start>Programs>Apps>S2u2 Settings you can set up S2U2 when the cab is installed manually.
Note b: From Start>Programs>Apps you can test D3D drivers that can achieve more than 50 fps.
There are three apps as D3DMdemo, Lights3D and Text3D.
Note c: All cab files included in VistaLibWWE21109MVSD4_00 dir can be installed also manually.
I hope you will fall in love again your precious Mio A701 that among few devices can explore You Tube.
Till next version enjoy!!!

Mio A701 ROM
Hello Mr. Ansar,
I have flashed my Mio A701 with few ROM's you have posted. And with every ROM my GPS is not working. Every program that I installed for GPS navigation says to me that cannot find a GPS device. Have you maybe some advice for me? Have you maybe the native ROM Windows mobile 5.0 for the Mio A701, because with that ROM my GPS on the device worked?
Thank you in advance!
Luka

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should put them in the memory cord of your phone, then click them from there.
The .CAB files should be installed FROM THE PHONE.
goodluck
Hey great work with the hacks
Thanx for sharing
Used the Soft Key app & it works great. cheers.
Problem sorted
Or some reason when I was downloading the files they were changing to .php not .cab. So with a quick change of name all working fine.
Anyone know how to change internet explorer reg back to original settings?
cheers
Dear yohanson,
Most of the tweaks for pocket ie can be easily changable within pocket ie by options menu...
Regards and thanks...
protochip,
great works !!! thanks for the "compilation"
Manage to installed :
DSP ENCHANCER -BASS&TREBLE SETTINGS
* Works very well.
SHOW CONTACTS FIRST NAME SURNAME ORDER
* Works very well.
POCKET IE TWEAKS
* Can't find where to do the changes. Unable to find the new setting in IE menu.
cheers,
Simon
brilliant
Dear simontee,
After applying pocket ie hacks there will be no new menu.I meant that if you want to go back,you can change some of the tweaks within pocket ie.For example you can change the zoom setting to larger or make fit to desktop from the menu of pocket ie.But other tweaks are directly written to registry ( cleartype, pocket ie as msie6.0, ... )
Regards and thanks...
Nice work will give them a try on my BA...

Included with this POST there are 3 EXE files:
cerdisp2.exe (PPC program, windows icon)
KillProc.exe (ppc program, no icon)
Remote Display.exe (pc program, windows icon)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you DON'T trust these (or aren't registered with xda-developers), you can download them yourself from Micro$oft, else GOTO step 1.

Or search on google for:
Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys

you will find the first two EXE files and in
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys\ActiveSync_Remote_Display\
you will find the third. (I renamed it to 'Remote Display.exe', but it's the same file)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions for Remote Display on WM5
1. Make an Active Sync connection between your PC and PPC
2. Click the 'Explore' button in Active Sync
3. Browse to you PPC's '\WINDOWS' folder

which brings you to the root directory, where the windows folder is located)
4. Copy 'cerdisp2.exe' and 'KillProc.exe' to your PPC '\WINDOWS' folder
5. Execute the 'Remote Display.exe' on your PC
A popup will appear that "The OS or CPU of this device is unknown to this application"
6. disregard this by clicking 'OK'
(If your firewall complains about the connection being made, click the 'UNBLOCK' option)
On your PPC display the usal message "This program is from an unknown publisher...."
will appear (only on first the first run)
7. Tap 'YES' op your PPC

262 views in 22 hours, but not one reply? My explanation must be very clear!
-I have one question: What are the 'empty icons' in the traylaunch area? One is added after every run of the remote display programm.
Anybody have an explanation or a solution?
thanks!
Works good, thank you.
nice post
Thanks for the instructions, I use Pocket Controller Pro from SOTI** which gives me absolute Controll plus a few more nice Options.
But for a "freebie" this is nice.

Excellent post mate.
All it needs is to be a tad faster and support the screen rotation when the camera kicks in.
Then with a wireless Activesync connection, WiFi camera.
This works great...a tad slow, but no other issues, and I don't have empty tray launch icons...

What i mean with empty tray icons is:
When you make the connection, the cerdisp2.exe starts up on the wizard. You see this happen, because there is a popup, and a tray icon. Once you close the connection, and make it again I notice this tray icon has moved one position to the left. This happens after each time you close and reopen the connection.
Btw. [email protected] on the modaco site did experience the same thing in 2005:
The only caveat is that you seem to get the remote display icon (windows logo in a circle) in the notification area (where the battery and screen rotation icons are) one position to the left each time you stop and start the remote display. No big deal, but can look a bit weird after you've stopped/started about ten times :?:

Curious if anybody else exp[eriences this, or has a workaround!
Slide 2 UnLock is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don't use your device.
Since there have been a lot of changes after v1.10, this new thread is opened for easy maintenance. The previous development thread is at here.
The original v1.0 was released from http://rychlicki.net/en/2007/04/01/174 on April 1. I only picked the SLIDE.EXE up & after copying & pasting some codes, it's now v1.17. Recent changes are:
v1.17 (22-6-2007)
1. fixed the bug of "ShowSpbWeather" when the weather source is not the default one
2. some bugs fixed
The followings only work on WM5/6 devices
3. added option "BlankOnTalk" - turn off the LCD when the phone call is talking. If you want to turn on the LCD, simply press the power button.
4. if SLIDE is already activated before a phone call is incoming, SLIDE will be hidden when it's ringing; and SLIDE will be reactivated after the call
5. no more polling jobs, all system state changes are handled by iLock now (using the SNAPI). The result will be more accurate & uses lesser power (uses lesser power also apply to WM2003 version)
6. added missed voice mail and missed MMS counts
v1.164 (17-6-2007)
1. "ShowSpbWeather" follows user's Spb Weather settings: which city is selected; C/F option
2. fixed the bug of potential hang up of Trinity
3. fine tuning on WM6 devices
4. if "Password/Pin Lock" or "Owner Information" are enabled to display at woke up, SLIDE may quit by itself
5. added an icon to iLock.exe
6. some bugs fixed
v1.16 (10-6-2007)
1. added 2 little animatons, one you may love & one may not
2. if you have Spb Weather installed, set option "ShowSpbWeather" to 1 to show the current day's weather info
3. added option "AppointmentTimeFormat"
4. "ShowAppointment" now shows current or tomorrow appointment info
5. if your device's locale setting is Chinese, the date will now show in Chinese (but the Appointment details still CANNOT show Chinese characters) and the format is fixed
6. it now works peacefully with the OS built-in "Password/Pin Lock"
7. SLIDE behaves more inert to the "Phone" app
8. some bugs fixing
Start from v1.1, INSTALLATION is necessary! If you have used any other methods to make SLIDE.EXE runs on wake up event, please UNDO it before using this version. Read "How to use" for details.
If you want to show your appreciation, you may buy me a coffee by clicking here. Of course, send me a thank you message is also welcome.
Please read the README.TXT for the details & FAQ.

FAQs
The following files are included in this release:
SLIDE.EXE - frontend locker
iLock.EXE - background job; wait for right event to invoke SLIDE; provide system info to SLIDE
GFX (folder) - contains all the necessary graphics for the locker; fully customizable
readme.txt - this readme file
history.txt - history of Slide 2 Unlock
How to use:
=========
1. A simple 1 step INSTALLATION is necessary - use the CAB file to install, pls select the right OS version.
2. After installation, there are 2 shortcuts created under \Program Files\Slide2Unlock:
iLock.lnk - start/stop ilock.exe (on the 1st run, it runs silently in the background; on the 2nd run, it closes iLock & SLIDE)
Slide2Unlock.lnk - manually start SLIDE (be sure iLock is running in the background, otherwise the Battery status will not be updated)
3. A shortcut for iLock.exe is created automatically under "\Windows\StartUp" as well.
4. Everytime you change the settings in the registry, please restart iLock.exe to reload the changes. HOW? Run the iLock the second time, it will close itself & the SLIDE. Then run it again to stay in the background.
5. To UNINSTALL, use the "Remove Programs" under Settings.
6. Installation on Storage Card is NOT supported (for the sake of stability).
7. For Smartphone users, you can unlock by pressing the D-Pad when "DpadOn" is set to 1.
iLock config (in the Registry under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\Slide2Unlock):
===========================================
1. the Date & Time format can be customized by changing the keys DateFormat & TimeFormat:
DateFormat:
(Pls read the readme.txt for details.)
For example, to get the date displays "Wed, Aug 31 94"
set DateFormat to ddd',' MMM dd yy
TimeFormat:
(Pls read the readme.txt for details.)
For example, to get the time displays "11:29:40 PM"
set TimeFormat to hh':'mm':'ss tt
Non-english devices may still have some problems for the format of the date/time, please use the most basic date/time format like:DateFormat set to d'/'M'/'yyyyTimeFormat set to H':'mmIf you do not want to have date/time display, just leave them blank.
2. After the unlock action, SLIDE.EXE can be sent to background if:CloseApp is 0
It'll further speed up the loading time of the next execution, but it'll eat up the memory (5MB). If you want it simply exits as version 1, set:CloseApp to 13. The speed of the button can be configured by setting:Speed to n (where n is 1, the slowest to 5, the fastest)
4. If your device has a VGA screen, to have better fit font, please set:VGAfix to 1
5. Load the .bmp, .jpg or .png file you want; make sure to include the full path of the file & the files fit your screen (i.e. 240 x 320 or 320 x 240 in size)Wallpaper set to "the full path of the file that will be used at Portrait mode"WallpaperLandscape set to "the full path of the file that will be used at Landscape mode"
6. If you want to "auto start" SLIDE.EXE when the device is woke up, set:Autostart to 1 (0 to disable)
7. To turn off the LCD by SLIDE.EXE, you may specify:OffLCD to n (after n seconds idle, the screen will be off; minimum is 5 seconds; 0 to disable)
8. When the OffLCD is enabled, you may specify whether the device is suspended or remain active but with LCD turned off:BlankScreen set to 0 or 1 (0 to suspend the device; 1 to turn off the LCD only)
9. For WM5 device (or device with the capability to turn off the backlight), you may set SLIDE to start automatically when the device's backlight is turned off by:IdleStart set to 1 (0 to disable)
10. Similar to IdleStart, ACIdleStart has the same function when the device is charging:ACIdleStart set to 1 (0 to disable)
11. Similar to OffLCD, ACOffLCD has the same function when the device is charging:ACOffLCD to n (after n seconds idle, the screen will be off; minimum is 5 seconds; 0 to disable)
12. Similar to BlankScreen, ACBlankScreen has the same function when the device is charging:ACBlankScreen set to 0 to suspend the device; or 1 to turn off the LCD only
13. If you want to install SLIDE to other folders or the storage card, please update the key:Slide2UnlockPath to "the new full path"
14. To show your current or tomorrow Appointment information, set the key:ShowAppointment to 1 (0 to disable)
15. To change the format of Appointment's time, change the key: (works on WM5 or 6 only)AppointmentTimeFormat (use the same syntax as TimeFormat)
16. To enable D-Pad input, set the key:DpadOn to 1 (0 to disable)
17. If you have installed Spb Weather as well, the current day's weather can be shown by set the key:ShowSpbWeather to 1 (0 to disable)18. To turn off the LCD during a phone call, set the key: (works on WM5 or 6 only)BlankOnTalk to 1 (0 to disable)

=====================
1. Cannot display UNICODE (for faster loading time & uses lesser memory)
2. GSM signal strength and Operator Name will NOT be available on WM2003 devices (but can be added manually)
3. "Missed Call", "Unread SMS" & "Unread Email" notifications only work on WM5/6 devices
4. If your device has slide-out keyboard, SLIDE will quit automatically when the keyboard is slided.
5. SLIDE may run slow in Landscape mode or even the screen turns blank. No solution yet.
6. Reported not compatible devices: Japanese OS, Thai OS

Wao A_C! You have done such a huge improvement to the programme.. Thanks a million! Great job.
OK, before I proceed to try out this new great version, just to confirm, it's POSSIBLE to remove 'iLock' from \Window\Start up after putting it there, right? Just follow the step 6) of your instructions to use/install Slide:-
6. to UNINSTALL, run the iLock under "\Windows\StartUp" a second time to close the SLIDE.EXE & iLock.exe. Then delete all files from "\Program Files\Slide2Unlock" and delete iLock.exe from "\Windows\StartUp".
After my last 'experience' of removing iLock from Start up folder, I am a bit concern of putting it back there.
Thanks A_C. There is a problem with v1.13. In V1.1 the battery indicator worked ( turned green) when I plugin my PDA to the Charger/PC. Now in this version it's no longer working. Cheers

Do you have iLock running?

Another question, will iLock execute itself upon softreset? Like you said the last round, there may not be enough time for the PPC to reboot properly esp if iLock is placed in the 'Start up' folder and 'Slide2Unlock' is set to auto-shut down within 5 sec.

Im also having the same problem. Battery indicator not working at all, whether it's plugged in or not.
Also, what's the difference between running iLock.exe and slide.exe??

That's why I've disable "OffLCD" by default. Besides, running the iLock under "Windows\StartUp" will not invoke SLIDE, iLock will only sitting there. And the recommended setting for "OffLCD" is 15 seconds.

As I said, I've rewrote the Battery Status & it's coded in iLock.exe. SLIDE will no longer actively polling the system for the Battery Status. Starting from v1.1, there is a very close workmanship between iLock & SLIDE. If you don't want to run iLock.exe, pls use the old version.

I am running the iLock.exe and the battery status still does not work. I have the app installed on my storage card. Everything works fine so far except for the battery status. It always shows the battery as being empty.
Very Nice Work.
I attempted to use previous versions on my apache and they eitehr didn't display the time correctly, wouldn't start up or would crash. This one seems to be a gem.
Many Thanks.
OK, Sorry- I've got the battery indicator working- my mistake- I've put the slide.exe in the startup folder before - Should Be Ilock.exe. Nice works and many thanks again.

Pls follow these steps for installation on Storage Card:
1. copy everything to your Storage Card's folder
2. copy iLock.exe to \Windows\StartUp (don't tell me you're not willing to spend just few kb of internal memory ), then run it.
3. edit the registry & change the key "Slide2UnlockPath" to the path specified in step 1 (must in full path)
4. run \Windows\StartUp\iLock.exe twice (i.e. to close & start again)
5. FINISH

Sorry, may I know whether it's ok to copy and paste iLock in Start up as a shortcut or must it be a duplication of the iLock programme in the Start up folder? Or there's no difference between this two?
Hi
I've tried paste 'iLock' as a short cut in Start Up folder. After changes to the Registry, I activated the 'iLock' twice but the screen background did not change. I've put the jpg file in the 'Res' folder, so I only need to change the file name, instead of the whole path. I've double check and there's nothing wrong with the new file name.
Would there be any problem if I first started off 'iLock' from the file in the 'Slide2Unlock' folder, instead of the 'Start up'? I accidentally activated iLock from the short cut I previously created on my iLauncher.
Or is this caused by the pasting of 'iLock' as short cut in the 'Start up' folder?

Just tried, the shortcut/lnk will not work. Pls don't make it too complicated - simple is beauty, right?
I really like this app, been following the thread for a while now trying the different versions, its going from strength to strength, i like it...
one small gripe tho, (really small) when can we have an icon for the ilock app? hehe something slidy and locky, would just polish it off me thinks, especially for those that have ilock as an icon on today screen.
Also, im using it on a Universal, can i replace the bitmaps with the correct res images? ie 640x480 format? and if i can is it possible you have the fish at those resolutions? Im not to really fussed if they consume a little more ram, think it would tidy it up a little more for us hi-res users.
And as another off the top of my head idea, as the registry is now used to store config, a v small config page would make life alot easier:
all in all i love it
Tried pasting iLock as application in Start up folder, but the changes to the background still doesn't take effect.
I've also tried '\Storage Card\Background.JPG' and it still didn't change.
[Edit] The path to the image was successfully changed in the Registry tho'.
I will update my post today, and maybe I will put a Chinese readme on it.
Works on My 2003 SE
Great work!! just found this App and love it
But are ther any update on GSM signal strength and Operator Name will NOT be available on WM2003 devices (but can be added manually) ?
tried the method
For WM2003/SE or non-mobile device, you may use this trick to show a fake operator name & signal:
- add this key to the registry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\state\phone"
- add the following keys:
"Current Operator Name" (REG_SZ)
"Radio Ready State" (REG_DWORD)
"Signal Strength Raw" (REG_DWORD)
But Not working for me, Thanks
Hello, i was looking for a standalone backlight manager to use in ultimate launch ( with cycling ) and i've found this great stuff on 4pda.ru but unfortunately it's all in russian. I've manage to make it work well on my trinity but i'can't understand all the options and there's no .ini nor lang.text to edit. Some help is welcome for the translation, even if you don't translate the program i would like a russian helper that can list all the options (would be perfect with screenshots). thanks a lot for viewing perhaps helping !!!
P.S. :sorry for english, when you read my posts you know i'm french ; )
UPDATE 06.05.2008 new cab below containing the english mui.cab. Install both then go to config first line of the second tab to change language. All credits to MalVal
MVBklight 1.4.3
1. Install MVBklight.CAB.
2. To change the language: install MVBklight.MUI.CAB, go to settings the first line of the second tab.
3. To change the skin: copy a new skin to Skins folder in program folder and choose this skin in settings.
Thanks a lot it works perfectly now i can configure my cycling function. your great
Your program is really perfect MalVal, I was looking for a stuff like that for a month, really happy that the Dev himself answer me. The torch, the cycling function, the today plugin, the fact that it's multiplatform, nice work. Do you have made other progs ?
Yes. MVBalance. It dysplays remained money in your mobile on today.
But it have only russian interface, and i think it will be difficult to adjust it.
Hi MalVal,
Did you have a short tuto ? How does it works, I launch it, change langage, but did not understand how to make it works!
Thanks for your help
Universal backlight manager MVBklight.
Features:
- System WM2003, WM5/WM6, qVGA, VGA.
- Control of backlight from the today (joystick: right - increases, left - decrease, central button - the settings menu, up / down go to next plugin).
- Popup with backlight regulator (joystick: to the right/up - increases, to the left/down - decrease, closing by the central button).
- Set and get of backlight from a command line (the example, ‘ Cmd 244 ’ - set new, Cmd - returns current).
- Increase/decrease of backlight from a command line (the example, ‘ Cmd + ’ - increases, ‘ Cmd - ‘ - reduces).
- Switch backlight from max to min and back ('Cmd m').
- Cycle change of backlight through Cmd.
Cmd 2 5 7 10 on a circle changes values. If was < 2 sets 2, if < 5 sets 5, ..., if >= 10 sets 2.
Similarly with decrease, Cmd 10 7 5 2 - if was more than 10 sets 10 if > 7 sets 7, ... if <= 2 sets 10.
- Switch on of the necessary backlight at connection to an external power (only if plugin is active) and switch back to battery backlight.
- The torch mode, switch on the maximum backlight and the white fullscreen (Torch.exe in a program folder).
- Settings of colors.
- Support of skin (32-bits RGBA bmp).
- Various kinds of sliders (without skins ).
- Display of backlight value by number or in percentage.
- Possibility of manual input of dwIoControlCode codes (see DeviceIoControl in MSDN) and the registry keys which are responsible for set and get of current value of backlight (these codes and keys differ from a device to device).
Installation:
1. Install the cab in the main memory (not on storage)
2. Start from Start-up-> Programs-> MVBklight or from explorer \Program Files\MalVal\MVBklight\Cfg.exe, make settings.
3. In the same place, in settings switch on a plugin.
Settings:
1. At the first start in line "Settings for" there will be a name of your PDA and will be established default settings for it. If default settings does not work, we can manually adjust it.
2. In the field "Type" choose your PDA type.
Input section, branch and keys of registry in which current values of backlight are stored (Battery and power). For many PDA - HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight, ACBrightness and Brightness.
They can be looked in the registry (corresponding values vary after backlight change by a built-in regulator). In the same place it is possible to find the maximum and minimum.
3. For WM5/WM6 it is necessary to enter corresponding sexadecimal codes DeviceIoControl.
4. Specify a skin folder. There should be four 32-bit bitmas with an alpha-channel (folders should be in a plugin folder).
To find out backlight settings for each concrete device, it is necessary:
1. Find out what file with exptention dll, cpl or any is responsible for backlight on this device (means backlight adjustment through the menu Settings-> System-> Backlight or Brightness ).
Usually this file is in a windows folder and has a certain speaking name of type COMBacklight.dll (on ETEN).
As a last resort, it is necessary to investigate all files suspected on backlight control.
2. It is necessary to copy these files on PC.
3. Then we use IDAPro to disassemble it and try to find options needed.
There are some known settings in attach (my database).
PS. Sorry for my english .
Hi MalVal,
your app did sound so sweet ;-) but unfortunately is does not work on my Artemis.
The slider shows up - but it does not change the brightness no matter what I do.
A couple of observations:
it shows Arte20000 instead of Arte200 and this name is fixed
for device type it says WM2003 but it should read WM6.1 or at least WM6
most of the settings for registry are greyed out and not changable
Might be that the problems come from my Rom being modified ?
Best regards,
mst
Hi MalVal,
Same issue for as mst46. I'm using your soft with Artemis PDA and "ARTEMIS TOUCH 4.01 WM6.1 WWE ROM".
As previously mentioned, only ARTE10000 is proposed and no way to modify other fields as they are "greyed".
BUT, it seems that is it because of the english translation you quickly done. I try removing the cfg.exe.mui file you provide, and then relaunch conf, then, even if written in a langage I cannot understand (russian ?), it is possible to select another item than "ARTE10000" and then are able to edit the following fields.
I try to select WM5/WM6, then HKCU, then ControlPanel\backlight, then Brightness, then ACBrightness, but seems that it has no effect. Difficult to o further when don't know what are the files editing
Could you take a look at it ? Thanks for your support.
Same thing happens with ipaq hx2490b. The device name is correct, the OS appears as WM2003(I haveWM6.1), and other options are greyed.
If default settings does not work, you can manually setup it :
1. Set manual in field Settings for
and restsart Cfg.exe. All fields become accessible.
2. see post above.
Known codes for some HTC:
HTC Hermes, НТС Х7500:
Codes: Pwr - 0x220010, Bat - 0x220018
HTC 4350 Herald:
HTC P3300:
HTC 3400 :
Pwr – 0x8, Bat – 0x7
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight, ACBrightness and Brightness
HTC Wizard:
0x2
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight, ACBrightness, Brightness
iPaq 3715:
Battery – 0x7, Power – 0x8
Registry the same
You can try these. If it does not help, it is necessary to analyze built-in backight manager with IDA.
Hi Malval,
I've been able to make it work with the parameters you provides for my P3300.
But there is still a problem with the translation file I belive.
I first install the Cab, then replace the cfg.exe plus the cfg.exe.mui file with the one you provide in the early post.
When running the conf, it is possbile to have it in english, but it was not possible to select something else than ARTE10000 in the second field (settings for) of the system tab. The "manual" option is not available!
In order to make it works, I remove the cfg.exe.mui file, and relaunch the conf. Then all messages come back to russian, but in the second field of system (settings for I belive it is writen in russian), I was able to select something else than ARTE10000 and I've been able to access following fields (they are no more greyed).
Once the "manual" field selected, I exit the conf, and replace the conf.exe.mui file and I've been able to see what are the fields I was modifying as the langage come back to english.
But, in the "Settings for" field, it is written "(null)", and opening the drop down box, only ARTE10000 is available.
I hope it can helps you in order to modify your code to fix this minor bug.
For those who follow the instruction I gives, and having a P3300 running "ARTEMIS TOUCH 4.01 WM6.1 WWE ROM", I set a "Maximum value" to 4 otherwise you will have a surpise of a blank screen if seting a higher values.
Regards
Hi, JBT1.
Thanks for bag.
I've upload a new one. In the same post. Check it.
I've also add mui for plagin.
In the next release i'll add all files in one cab-file and i'll update database to support artemis.
Hi Malval,
Sounds good this time. Manual is available now in the settings and today plugin menu is in english.
Thank you for this great application.
I have an issue now with the assignement of a button with your popup application. I assign it to the button 6, and it works fine except when running TomTom! If running Tomtom and hitting button 6, it call the default assignment who is the Voice speed dial! I beleive it is a Rom or Tomtom issue.
Will look forward for your next rev
Thank you
I tried it on my Kaiser.
Hanging when changing the backlight.
Working great now on my Artemis. Great tool .
Thank you MalVal !
mst
Can someone post a screenshot of what the actual today plug in will look like? Been trying to get it to work on my kaiser but not having any luck
mattarse, romualdrichard!
I need more information, what is the problem.
Screenshot.
More screenshots in attach. I hope it enough.
please do you have more screenshots of this program?
The backlight doesn't change at all. Im on a kaiser with duttys newest 6.1 rom.
If I leave it set for kaiser it is stuck on WM2003, but changing it to manual and setting it for Wm2005/2006 doesn't help either.
I assume the problem is in one of the other settings, but I reallydon't know what to test.
Any help you can give would be appreciated, I've been looking for a program like this for awhile.

FAQ:
Can you release a Manila Clean Stock Rom with less tabs?
Nope this is not neccessary because the performance doesnt get lowered.
Why? Because all special or extra tabs are set as hidden.
You can activate them in "Settings".
Which Tabs are included ?

How XDA_UC works
BIG THX TO NOONSKI - XDA_UC is the most impressive UC for me! Thank you for sharing this!
[UC]XDA_UC V2.RC1, Automated & Silent User & Cook, Configuration Service[14/05/10]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562568
XDA_UC is a silent User & Cook automation script.
It requires no user configuration (unless you count dripping stuff into a folder as configuring).
It differs opposed to the default Autorun & RunCC configuration that, as a user you do not need no make an SDConfig.txt file on your SD card.
And that you can start using your device immediately.
It will run in the background at the reboot the Cook has chosen to have it run.
Features
Code:
# .cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
# .cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Storage", These cab files will be tempted to install to Storage Location.
# .cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Manual",These cab files will start with Full User interaction capabilities to choose where to install to.
# .reg files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
# .xml files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
# .mscr files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
# .cer files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
If you missed some cabs at the first install you can start the XDA_UC Service again. Just start the Service in the Tools Folder.
How to configure "Media Center Tab"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6439866&postcount=519
At first i have to thank the MEMO ROM Team, for sharing the VGA Files, without them it would be not possible to customize this as WVGA German Version. This is much appreciated
First of all, “Manila Media Center Tab” is not a completely new tab. It is created from “Manila TV Tab”.
As MEMO ROM Team, we think it will be nice to have more feature on “Manila TV Tab”. After a hard work , we have successfully modified and add more feature on it .
Here is what you will get from the new tab.
Features:
• Internet TV Player
• Internet Radio Player
• Able to run “FM Radio” from tab.
• Able to run other media players from tab. (S2P, Nitrogen,WM Player,TCPMP and CorePlayer)
• From Registery entry, able to modify the path of media players according to your installation.
• Able to jump Stock “Music Tab”
Requirements:
• As default configuration, in order to play “Internet Radio” Channels, TCPMP Player must be installed at “Internal Storage”. But it can be changed as explained at below.
• EDITED NEW Needs to have WIFI Connection. Does not work with GPRS connection
TV / Radio channels has to be modified manually. For more details, please have a look at original “Manila TV” Thread
TV Channels are defined at “ManilaTV.xml” file. This file with TV Channel logos are placed at;
Application Data / Manila TV Player / ManilaTV.xml
Application Data / Manila TV Player / Logos/...(TV Logo Picts).....
Radio Channels are defined at “ManilaRadio.xml”. This file with Radio Channel logos are placed at;
Application Data / Manila Radio / ManilaRadio.xml
Application Data / Manila Radio / Logos/...(Radio Logo Picts).....
“ManilaTV.xml” and “ManilaRadio.xml” files have the same structure as;
Code:
ID="The stream Link"
Name="The stream name"
Description="Here the drescription of stream"
LargeIconUrl="\Application Data\Manila TV Player\logos\?logo_name?.png" - this png is 200x200 px
SmallIconUrl="\Application Data\Manila TV Player\logos\?logo_name?_mini.png" - this png is 64x64 px
Player="" - Your stream player , Coreplayer , TCPMP , WMplayer, Opera , IE , HTC Stream media
ex:
Player="\Windows\OperaL.exe"
Player="\Windows\wmplayer.exe"
Player="\Program Files\CorPlayer\player.exe"
NOTE: Some Radio channels can ONLY be played with TCPMP Player.
BRIEF Description How to modify TV / Radio Channels:
A- Finding TV / Radio Channel’s web adress

NEW FACEBOOK TAB SETTINGS
RTFM - User Manual
Features
All the HTC facebook goodness on your doorstep!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651007
Plus:
* Update Now left-soft key
* Launch Facebook App in menu (configure to fav app)
* Launch Facebook Online in menu (configure to fav site)
* Successful Update Time Display
* Adjustable Automatic Update Peroid
* My Updates - Displays your real status (only support text updates - urls etc ignored)
New For v1.5:
* Update your facebook status directly from the tab!
* Sense Settings Page (all settings for the tab now configurable via sense)
* Expand/Collapse View
* Introducing the HTC FbTab, (Stage 1 - The initial step to access the Facebook Api).
* Improved multi-language support (api available for wm apps)
The authorisation here is only for the new functionality of the tab, in order to populate the friends list and get status updates you will still need to authorise the "HTC Sense" application via the Setting Tab -> Data Services.
If you do not wish to use the new functionality and the "HTC FbTab" application, then check the "Disable prompt for authorisation []" checkbox to avoid being asked to authorise the application. You will not be able to post updates via the tab without authorising first.
Authorisation (important to set the Settings)
1. Don't activate the Facebook Tab in Sense!
2. Start the FacebookUtil.exe in Program Files/FacebookUtil
3. On Popup press OK
4. Enter the API settings for authorisation
5. Start with option 1 or 2...
Due to issues with the authorisation methods with facebook, two options are provided to ensure this application will work with as many people as possible.
Option 1:
Use internal authorisation
- This uses an internal browser to display the authorisation page from facebook and allows you to login and authorise the application permissions. This should be the simplest method for most users, press Authorise and follow the prompts to authorise the HTC FbTab used for posting status messages directly from the tab.
Don't forget you will need to be connected to the internet and be able to access the facebook website from your connection.
Option 2:
Use external authorisation (Use default browser & paste code)
- On some devices the internal browser fails to work correctly, hence this method will launch your default browser (i.e. Opera) and navigate directly to facebook to authorise the "HTC FbTab" application.
Don't forget you will need to be connected to the internet and be able to access the facebook website from your connection.
1. You should login and authorise the application permissions.
2. Once you have authorised the application, you then need to Copy the url (either the whole thing or the part including "code=...", as long as you have at least the "code=..." to the end it will work). In Opera you can do this by pressing and holding on the url (if unselected it will default to copying the whole url).
3. Once you have copied the code into the clipboard, return to the settings page and press "Paste & Authorise".
The settings page will then use the code and authorise the application.
Remove Authorisation:
- This will remove the authorisation from the registry.
Note: If you want to fully remove the authorisation you will need to remove it directly from the your facebook account settings, via the Application Settings page.
