Download the free WM 2003 version of pointui here http://forums.pointui.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=858
it is amazing a scrolling interface with wrappers for most of the standard functonality. Works like a dream for thos who like the way Iphone scrolls and uses finger rather than pointers. A complete interface
Who ever made this is so f***in brilliant! I wont plan to buy a new device anymore!!!! good thing 2i has a very fast processor!
Any screenshots?
Just installed this on my ageing xdaIIi and its fantastic, xdaIIi meets iphone.
installed in minutes and I havent put it down for over an hour.
re-invented my xda.
well done !
bloody awsome!!!!!!
its sweetttttt on teh magnitue 1000+
i hope they keep up with it and donated to them too
Great New Update
I have waited so long for this. Thankyou,Thankyou.
I want to send money for the first time ever.
Screenshots just do not do this justice, the finger interface using point and slide has to be tried. For those who are curious, just do a search for Pointui and screenshots to see why we are so enthusiastic. Note for best installation you need to install the WM5 version even though it does not run on the XDA2i and then download the WM2003 zip and overwrite the files in the directory created by the wm5 install with the 2003 ones. You can choose whether to go for the Blue or the Black theme when you download the WM5 version, if you choose the black one then dont copy the Home.cdl across as the wm2003 one in the zip has the blue theme in its home.cdl.
That last message seems really complicated to a novice like myself.
I have an XDA 11i - can I just follow the link and let it download to my phone ??
it will run if you just download from http://www.pointui.com/files/tests/1.02b/2003/1/home.ppc2003.zip and unzip in a directory but ideally you should install the WM5 cab first ( http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx ) and then overwrite the appropriate files with the ones from the 2003 zip. Good Luck Rob
I got to this page and now I am baffled - sorry .
http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx
I have a 2003 edit - XDA11i .
I tried the EASY way but without success.
Just get a "Can't execute message ".
Thanks anyway .
OK here goes, click on the link http://www.pointui.com/Home.aspx and click on the download icon on the top left of the screen under the word home. Then on the screen that appears click on the button near the bottom that says "download cab installer" Copy the file to the main memory of your XDA and then double click on it. You will see it install. This has installed the WM5 version on the XDA. Next step is to click on this link http://www.pointui.com/files/tests/1.02b/2003/1/home.ppc2003.zip and download the zip file, this is an archive file and will need to be decompressed if you are using windows XP or vista, or a MAC this will be done when you double click on it and you will see 4 files Home.exe, home.cdl, pointui.cdl and pointui.fonts.cdl these 4 files need to be copied on top of the ones installed by the cab file ie select the 4 files and navigate on the xda to Program files directory, then to pointui directory, then to home 1.02b directory and paste in there. Easiest to do for you using windows fie manager while the XDA is syncing as the xda is visible a drive. Hopefully this makes more sense to you.
Very detail walk through & very fast and furious.
There is one problem. wouldn't unlock screen after you lock it. anyone experience it? How to overcome?
You have to swipe your finger vertically down the screen to unlock ie along the line of arrows.
does this work on xda2 aswell
Yes it should work well on the XDA2 give it a whirl as it cannot do any harm
Robsno -thanks very much for taking the time to write the detailed explanation -I really appreciate it.
However I just don't have the knowledge to follow MOST of the instructions .
I will have to wait for a simple CLICK HERE option to arrive - the ones that just load it onto your XDA with no messing.
Sorry but THANKS anyway.

After reading the reviews of this I thought it was about time I had a go at changing the xda2i from the original settings it came with nearly 18 months ago. I have to say it is just like have an iPhone now absolutely fantastic interface. Thanks for the simple instructions. Although after several resets of the xda2i nothing happened until I browsed through the folder structure in Program files\pointui\home\1.02b and clicked the home icon, then it sprang in to life. Anyone should be able to follow your instructions with a little knowledge of how to navigate around the xda2i. Thanks for the tutorial.
just want to say thank you so much, i'd lost my veiwty and was given this peice of cr*p yesterday but after seeing this site following your instructions the whole package is nearly better than my veiwty. thanks
Apologies I should have said go to the Program files\pointui\home\1.02b copy the home icon with windows mobile file manager go to windows\startup and paste shortcut then it will start automatically if you reboot.

Hey swampy how you been?
I tried yesterday your recook kitchen... new upgrade version 1.2... but I have an issue after the step when you can mod the initflashfiles... and use that third party app... I cant remember the name the app that coverts unicode - ansi you know...
The kitchen freeze after that I choose save and then close the app hit enter to continue and nothing happens but something change on my system... my multimedia files like video avi wmv (flv is good); music mp3 and wma; TXT and reg files seems to loose its asociation to the respective players and programs... cause when I click twice over any of them... the IE7 launch itself and launching again many many windows and the task manager cant handle it to close them... I cant figured out how to fix this and why this happens so...
I ask you if you have an answer...
Do I need to format my PC?
Im uploading an example of how my machine sees in youtube but is uploading... wait for the uploading process.
thanks men

file asociation on ppc or PC? the kitchen will not change things on it's own only you change thing useing the kitchen so I can't say but if some thing in the kitchen has got corrupted The best thing to do is start again run bat file select 1) then 1) in next menu clean, then run 1) again and past your nk.nbf and so on
YEP!!!
On my PC... even if I choose "open with..." then select windows media player... then "Always use this progran for this kind of file" then open... it opens the IE7 and goes crazy the video file uploading is so slow... what da... jejej i will edit add the link this can helps to understands it... yes I restart the kitchen and guess what it can't open now the HKCU.reg in the step user.hv and closes by itself... i think cause the asociation gets corrupt the kitchen cant do it... and yes i have install the reg workshop as you said...
Hope it works fine next time... I hate... format my PC cause i need to backup in DVD my data...

Sorry mate don't know what could have hapened to your pc but the kitchen only works on ppc rom's the batch file can only access the folder's below it, IE: inside the kitchen folder that the bat file was launched in, so i doubt it was the kitchen that caused your problem, But my son had some problems with IE7 and found all was OK after uninstalling it so before you go formating your pc insert your windows disk and choose repair
I finally got my ftp up and running. As promised, I have uploaded a slightly modified Vista backup for Acronis. It contains a preinstalled version of Office 2007. So, if you dont own Office 2007, please uninstall it

I have tested the connection to my FTP... Its HTTPS, you have to install or allow the certificate in order to access my files.
Also, use Firefox or Opera to download. IE7 suffers from a HTTP Header error when accessing large files. ( i tried to fix it, but no luck)
Dont tell me its a nuisance to use FF or Opera instead of IE7.
If you really need / want those files, you should be willing to install one of those browsers...
I will UPDATE the files next Friday, any request, let me know.
Aquasesh
UPDATE 08/08/08
Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK)
This is used to create your own recovery partitions. You can slipstream updates, software and drivers.
It is license free and can be optained from the link in post #1.
To mount the XVista.wim from the Shift's recovery partition, locate the ImageX.exe in your programs folder.
(default =C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86\imagex.exe)
Copy the XVista.WIM to a location of your choice (preferably c and run the Imagex.exe in the Command Prompt.
First you have to find out which installation you want to mount. Usually Vista contains more than one installation
(Home, Home Premium, etc...) Each has a number.
In our case its easy, its only Vista Business, so we mount Number 1.
Type imagex.exe /mountrw c:\Xvista.wim 1 c:\Xvista
mountrw means read and write access
c:\Xvista.wim is the location you copied it....
1 is the image number within the archive
c:\Xvista is the mount path (can be anything you want)
The installation should now appear in Windows Explorer like a normal folder and you can modify its contents.
Recovery Image
With regards to the recovery partition restoration process;
The previously referenced instructions involve using a binary file to dd the image back to the disk.
When your RAR file is unarchived, it shows a directory structure with multiple files and one large WIM file.
What mechanism should one use to replicate the RAR contents to the recovery partition?
Thanks..

The binary file you are referring to is a result of a different recovery approach. You copy the hidden partition into a binary file and copy it back to its exact location on the hdd, later.
If you want to use my RAR file, you have to follow these instructions, to create an external boot media.

@jposluns
you need a USB Stick, not a floppy. The image as well as the BIN file are about 3GB.
You can also burn the contents to a DVD if you make it bootable. I havent tried it yet, but should work.

There is something critical that I'm missing here..
The instructions in the link you provided imply that the USB drive will be bootable, and that it is from there that the recovery will occur.
Your RAR file does not have an MBR, nor does it apparently have a tool to install one, so *something* would have to be used in order to install an MBR to the USB drive.
What is that *something* ?
Thanks..

To make it short, you have 3 choices.
Firstly, you wait until i create a bootable recovery ISO, which you can burn to a USB stick. (maybe on Friday, if I can make the time)
Secondly, you try to make one yourself.
Or, you simply download Acronis TI Home, install it on a PC, create a recovery bootdisk, which you can put on a USB stick and use Mybackup.tib from my ftp to restore the Shift.( I usually use this method, since I dont have to setup anything, and I have office 2007 integrated)
I will try to polish up the problems on my FTP coming weekend and add some more stuff, USB iso and so on.
If you can tell me what mechanism is used to make the MBR in the recovery partition, I can make an ISO myself.. I've tried a few different boot loaders, though none seem to work with the RAR contents.
Or.. If an Acronis image of JUST the MBR/Track0 for the recovery partition is available, that would be relatively simple too.
Worst case, I'll wait for your ISO.
Thanks for all your help!

To make it a media bootable for a recovery, you need to use etfsboot.com
found in the folder /BOOT
Now, i have to find out which commandline parameter i have to use, which will take some trying out.
Worst case scenario, I can only make DVD bootable, but even that would be ok for most.
Working ISO.. Wish me luck..
I've just followed the instructions at http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/05/10/how-to-make-vista-bootable-dvd-with-wim-downloaded-files/ to create an ISO file using the WIM files from your RAR.
UltraISO can then be used to image the ISO onto a USB stick (4Gb or greater).
I'm in the process of doing so right now and will test it tomorrow morning.

Looks like a good guide. Those seem like the right etfsboot parameters.
Im sure you can do it.
its basically the same way HTC does it, I guess the boot.wim contains the WindowsPE for the recovery.
Good Luck

Hi aquasesh,
It is very difficult to download the recovery image with Firefox or IE, can you please share it in eMule, so that more Shift owners can download it share it.
Thanks in advance.

I dont think sharing it in Emule is better than using Firefox.
I dont understand how it can be difficult to download it via a different
browser...Its just the same as IE
you just install opera or FF and rightclick the file you want...then choose "save as"....
Besides, sharing it in Emule is too slow, it will take ages to download it.

I've just followed the instructions at http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/05/10/how-to-make-vista-bootable-dvd-with-wim-downloaded-files/ to create an ISO file using the WIM files from your RAR. UltraISO can then be used to image the ISO onto a USB stick (4Gb or greater).

Update: An ISO was built, though when I imaged it to USB and booted off of it, an error of "can't find HP WIM files" resulted. I believe that the version of the <surrounding files exe> that I used was specific to HP, and there are a few more WIM files it's expecting. I've downloaded another variant and have it building an ISO now.
I installed Opera and when I right-click and save as, it downloads and says it saved the file. I did this 3 times in 3 different folders (I aborted once), but the files is nowhere to be found. In Opera under Transfers tab it says:
From https//phatpipez.homeftp.org
To D:\MyBackup.tib
Size 4.3 GB(4,576,253,952)
Transfered 4.3 GB(4,576,253,952)
The file is NOT there. I don't get it
I need some help with a batch file. I am going to run the batch file on a usb flash drive/thumb stick. What I need it to do is copy three files from the usb flash drive/thumb stick to a directory on a computer. The three files are drivers. A Netgear N150 WNA1100 drivers to be exact. I have been looking around different websites but they have been no help to me.
No help?

Actually, xcopy has been depreciated in favor of robocopy.
--------------
Usage :: ROBOCOPY source destination [file [file]...] [options]
source :: Source Directory (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
destination :: Destination Dir (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).
file :: File(s) to copy (names/wildcards: default is "*.*").
:
: Copy options :
:
/S :: copy Subdirectories, but not empty ones.
/E :: copy subdirectories, including Empty ones.
/LEV:n :: only copy the top n LEVels of the source directory tree.
/Z :: copy files in restartable mode.
/B :: copy files in Backup mode.
/ZB :: use restartable mode; if access denied use Backup mode.
You can get these by opening a command prompt and typing robocopy /?
Robocopy isn't present on all Win boxes. There are still a lot of XP boxes out there. Xcopy isn't as robust, but for copying a few driver files from USB, it doesn't need to be.
I assumed OP is informed enough to know basic copying syntax. His difficulty is with the USB drive letter, which is dynamically assigned by default. The %~dps0 is what he's looking for. Syntax to this is in an unlikely place, for /?.
Speaking of deprecating, *.* wildcard has been out of fashion since the DOS days.

Oh, well, it is a Windows 8 Forum, so I figured he was asking for this OS. I haven't tried xcopy on my Windows 8 machine, but it still works on Windows 7.
Speaking of color: Personally, I like to change the screen color when performing long copy commands, so that I know how far along the CMD file has progressed.
The OP does not have to worry about the drive letter if he is running the cmd file off of the thumb drive (which is my assumption). all he needs is to provide the name as the source; it will assume the drive letter and current directory. If he is trying to use it from the computer, that could be a problem.
EDIT: Sorry about the color comments. I was picking up the text colors in the quote box! (but I still like to color my screens on long cmd files).
EDIT again: As far as the *.* goes, I was simply pasting the result of the robocopy help command. You'll have to write MS about that one!
thanks e.mote I needed to write the batch file because my dad works for my ISP and he has to install the wireless USB adapter manually due to microsoft saying that any program not on the marketplace is illegal to install or run. I will make his time and install easier.
Edit: The batch file is gonna be used on multiple machines. So drive letters are way out of the question.
Edit 2: It is only gonna be run on windows 8 machines.

That is completely false. Windows 8 will allow installation of any software, not just store software. Only windows RT restricts software installs and your drivers on a USB will not function on windows RT due to it being an ARM device and the drivers being for x86. And why use a batch file to copy another file, isnt that what Control-C and Control-V are for

My dad wanted to me to come up with a solution to make the job easier and so i did and the guys that supposed to be helping the guys in the field that do this kind of stuff arent helping at all and inside the corporation, there are people that can barely know how to open up emails, let alone run an app but they cannot install or look onto the Local Disk because they will get lost and not understand it. i fully understand the differences of RT and the x86 versions of Windows 8. The machines my dad works on are x86 based. I did mess around with it and i was not happy at all with the changes Microsoft has done to it. I will never understand Microsoft's move to make there OS a touch screen based computer when almost every single computer that OEMs sell do not have touch screens. I'm getting off topic but anyways thanks for telling me this guys.
Frankly, if you're just copying a couple of files whose names you know, and they aren't directories and don't need special attributes applied, you may as well just use the old "copy" command. As in,
copy thefile1.sys, thefile2.inf, thefile3.cab C:\thedestfolder\
You can make it a bit more specific if you want to handle things like the case where the file already exists, or the destination folder does not... but the basic form is very simple. For help, you can use
copy /?
but dont you still need to worry about the drive letters?

copy "%~dp0CHANGEME1.ext" "%~dp0CHANGEME2.ext" "%~dp0CHANGEME3.ext" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\path\to\folder\on\host\OS\drive\"
This only works from a batch file (It will produce erratic results if ran from a plain command prompt), and you can test what it will send as paramaters by putting an 'echo' before the 'copy'. It will use absolute paths to the files in the same dir as the batch script, in case the working directory is not as expected (such as if it is ran as admin).
Here is the output on my system:
C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\test>test.bat
copy "C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\test\CHANGEME1.ext" "C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\test\CHANGEME2.ext" "C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\test\CHANGEME3.ext" "C:\path\to\folder\on\host\OS\drive\"

If you put the batch file in the same directory as the drivers, you can simply run it from there, providing only the file name as the first argument, and the target drive (should always be C:\Windows\System32 - or whatever).
copy AAAAAA.dll C:\Windows\System32
copy BBBBBB.dll C:\Windows\System32
copy CCCCCC.dll C:\Windows\System32
xcopy and robocopy are really meant for copying large numbers of files.
EDIT: The former post is correct, using %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32 would always find the system drive, even if it were not the C: drive. But I suspect the vast majority of computers are using C: as the system drive.

If you right-click on a .bat and run as admin it will change the current dir to System32, so your method won't work unless the user has UAC disabled/is an admin, or if they do some horrific permissions changes to System32 to allow it to run as a non-admin.
There are other instances where the logged dir isn't the same as the calling script, eg when you drag-drop files onto the script to be processed. Granted it's not the case here, but it's good practice to assume as little as possible for Win shell scripting (which survived mostly untouched from DOS). There are enough quirks in it to already drive you crazy.
Speaking of quirks, I prefer %~dps0 (or simply %~fs0) over %~dp0 because the console buffer can be exceeded in case of really long path names, which results in an error. The 's' switches to the old 8.3 short-name format and obviates this problem. It also avoids the problem of pathnames with UTF-8 characters, which some Win versions can't recognize (I'm not sure about Win7, but Win8 can handle UTF-8 in the console fine). File/pathname is the most common issue in Win shell scripting. Always use double-quotes to enclose them.

Most of my batch files use full paths, so I would not know. I just opened a cmd window as administrator, and it does go to system32. I never noticed that before.
I think then the best way to run would be to do a search for cmd (from the start menu), run it as administrator, and then change to the drive containing the batch file. From there it would execute.
Or try the other method described above.
thanks guys for this information. its much appreciated.

What you need:
PC
WP with tech preview installed. (preferably slow build as it is more stable)
Steps:
-On your PC create a shortcut to Your C: drive and you will then find the shortcut on your desktop.
-Plug in your phone and move the shortcut from the desktop to the root of your phone
-Unplug your phone and open file explorer from your app list.
-Tap my device and click on the C: drive shortcut and it should take you to the C; drive of your phne where you will have access to all files including the ability to change folder names to gain more permission to files inside..
im an enthusiast not a dev so anyone with more info correct me if im wrong on anything. Thanks
Edit: know what your doing this is dangerous

It's a known trick for us but it can't provide Full FS it's not bad but can't copy / paste files anywhere.
I tried to copy resource hacker files of @djamol in the windows directory but it didn't work .
I forgot to test it with hanging the name of folder and now i am using 8.1 on my phone .
hope you test it and return me the result .
Hey is their anyway so that I can use on-screen navigation bar instead of my hardware buttons
