Hi
Sorry if this post is not in the right place. I am in great need of help. I am a mobile software developer. A client who is into automation contacted me. The client has a control application that he would like to start up whenever the pocket pc starts. This itself is not a problem, since you can simply create a registry key to handle this. The problem comes in that the application must still start even if the battery has been drained completely and the device start like it does after a hard-reset.
From what I have read, it is possible to create a custom ROM image that contains the key described above. The application could be stored in the backup storage area of the ROM.
I have looked at tools to edit the .nbf files that are available with the ROM updates for the pocket pc from the manufacturer (HP iPAQ running WM2003SE), but I cannot find a clear answer, and my knowledge of Unix is bad at best.
Any help and suggestions from anyone on how to edit the .nbf file or any other method to manage this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I downloaded a few programs that were ppc programs, (games, etc.) and when I try to install them, it tells me that it is not a valid ppc file. When I downloaded them, they were claimed to be ppc files. Am I missing something? How do I install these programs?
Thanks
If it's an exe, you need to run it off the computer and it'll transfer the cab over via Activesync. If it's a cab, just place it on your device and run it from there.
thanks, I'll try it and let you know.
That's exactly what I was not doing. thank you very much. One more problem I'm having is, I try to use "evaphone" to make voip calls on wi-fi but the keypad doesn't show up on my screen. Do I need a certain type of flash player to view it? Or is there another voip system you would recomend?
Thanks
Hi All,
I have been looking for a tool that closes all open programs. I do not want a new task maneger but just an exe file that does the job.
I want to map this exe file in winsbar desktop to close all open programs. It should be just one press, no multiple actions.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanx Robert
After searching I have found:
Tascal Close All.
But it leaves Activisync running. Any other suggestions??
You could probably do this with Mortscript.
activesync cannot be closed while your device is connected via usb to your desktop.
you can try this prog. it works perfectly.
run the tool with the following parameter:
Code:
RegistrySetString.exe 4

Hi,
Thanx for the advise, but when I try to run it, I get an error message saying that it is not comeplet. How do you run it?
Did you create a shortcut or did you do it in another way??

you need to put that into a shortcut.
..#"\path\registrysetstring.exe" 4
replace .. by amount of letters incl. quotes (just in caser you're not familiar).
I am pretty sure Oxios Closeapps will do what you want, free download from here http://www.oxios.com/memory/
Thanks, but this shows the dialog box, which is an extra action. I am looking for a non visible application.
there is afile called sdt.exe at windows folder ... if i press it once nothing happens but if i connect my x2 to computer it would react as aflash drive ...
so can some one design an interface for it or we can even port it from any other phone ... lets say x1
TNX alot

oooooh thank u thank u for telling that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WoW thnaks for this great info
I was so sad as i saw that there is no way to get my X2 running as an flash drive.
I think the easiest way to switch is an shortcut to programs or todayscreen or anything like that. Then the file is once running, you just open the taskmanager and kill the file.
May i´ll write a toogle script with mortscript in a view days ... we´ll see
EDIT:
I now was trying but there´s no sdt.exe in my windows folder. So i was looking in the windows folder of my X1 which was able to be pluged as an massstorage, but ther wasnt a sdt.exe too.
So i think it wont be so simple to get the massstoragemode back
I think the mass Storage mode is handled in one of the 3 exe-files: device.exe, shell32.exe or filesys.exe
But these files i wont replace on my X2
Thanks.....
Thanks for good idea ......
i use the attached program that working well...
Thanks
Thanks Dude......

you have to use a file explorer like "resco explorer" to view hidden files in windows folder as "sdt.exe" is a hidden file
Hi,
I have googled for several hours and found a lot of solutions, but there's always one step, which I can't pass through!
The situation is: HTC touch, everything is working, display is working, but the touch control doesn't.
The problem is that phone connects to pc as hard drive. So I don't have access to ActiveSync - when usb is connected it shows internet sharing tab. Because I cannot control anything via touchscreen, I can't get in any settings ... so options like sync with outlook, mymobiler ... are not able to be used.
I created .cab which should change registry entry to show connection type selection when usb plugged, but I can't confirm installation (is there a way to create cab which is installed without confirmation)- I can control the phone with cursor button and red/green buttons - so I can use some programs like tot. commander ... but I can't input any values, i can't access any options on soft keys ...
Does anybody have some idea ... I'm running out options ...
Thanks
Hard reset seems to be the obvious step.
Edit: sorry, I overlooked your post title, did you consider repairing your lcd or digitizer?
Try to find the program that actually toggles the USB. Some CPL only start a program that does the job finally. In the windows directory search for *usb* with TotalCommander.
Probably also BT connection to ActiveSync could be activated for RemoteAccess?
What happens if you do not have an SD card in the device? Will it fall back from Mass storage to AS?
Total Commander can also copy a reg-file to the registry, but for that you have to be able to select the options in TC - not an option either I think.
You could also use MortScript to write to the registry - must be installed first, however.
Probably there is a program that can map the softkeys to hardkeys?
What about AEButtons+
Thanx for all advices, but:
1. I wasn't thinking the screen, because that's my sister's old phone, and I need to get her PIM into new one (and throw this one against the wall) ... in the end she can manualy rewrite contacts, because listing in people is possible with cursor - but sms, call logs etc. will be lost and I'd like to save her from hours of manual writing hundret of contacts.
2. When connect without SD, no active sync connection or other selection appears - only internet sharing.
3. Copiing file in Total Commander is impossible to finish - by holding down the cursor I get menu (open, copy, send), but to comlete process I'd have to press softkey with 'ok'
4. I cannot establish any bluetooth connction, because it always require the code, which I'm not able to write withou touchscren
5. Mort script is unfortunately not installed
6. AEButtons could be good - but as it comes 'from an unknown publisher' - I have to confirm installation - what I'm not able to ...
... I'm slowly givin' up ... disabled digitizer always brings me into dead end.
I also thought about dump ROM and run it in emulator - but I've never done this and it would probably take more time to learn it then manual rewrite of contacts ...
What about executing PPCPimbackup on the device? This will save/restore the stuff you need on the device
...unknown publisher, is it?

Right - yes/no ...
When you connect the phone to the pc, do you have access to it´s storage? If yes, just grab the file PIM.VOL. Now, install microsoft emulator and replace this file. Now you can backup (and even sync if you install activesync) with the emulator.
You will need :
device emulator 3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...af-12e3-4b2f-a394-356e2c2fb114&displaylang=en)
emulator images : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&displaylang=en

Man! You're my (resp. my sister's) savior! I don't have access to storage, but I've used total commander - copy to clipboard / paste from clipboard on sdcard and that allowed me to download it. Now I tried to replace pim.vol in new device - Topaz with lates Energy ROM - sms are not restored, but contacts and calendar are ... thats 90% what I needed!
Anyway I'm going to try emulator to get those sms ... but I'm sutisfied for now!!!
Changing to [Solved]
THANX!
The sms should be in cemail.vol, but I can't reach it ... the clipboard unfortunately doesn't work for this file, but sms weren't the main goal ...
You're welcome buddy. I always use the emulator for this kind of thing as it is safer, will not hurt my phone.

Dajbyco, could you please explain what you did cause I have exactly the same problem with my brother's phone. The screen is dead on his HTC Touch pro 2 and we need to retreive his contacts and calendar. I've downloaded Total Commander, but I don't know how to access the pim.vol file.
Thank you!
If the Active Sync Connection still works you can do everything remote via PC.

I can't do anything since I don't see what I do. The screen is black. So I can't reach the Active Sync Connection settings.
You don't need to access the AS settings on the device if it is not in "Mass Media mode". There is a remote management software that allows to see what is on the screen of your device. The only one I know that installs without any device-side confirmations is Everywan: http://www.sparus-software.com/en/download/software/everywan-remote-support,232.html
For accessing the options for Active Sync on the PC you do that directly in AS on the PC. To get best advice, could you tell what your problem is in detail?
So most important question:
Does the device connect to the PC in "Active Sync Mode"?
Same problem - how can I copy to clipboard

Hi, I have the same problem. What do you mean you used total commander and copy to clipboard? I have total commander open but when I connect my phone with the computer it does recognise the connection but it doesn't show any storage (shows drive but no access to it). So what can I then copy and how?
Many thanks!!
