[curiosity] Bluetooth Manager (not sure if it works!)

Guys, someone was asking for a Bluetooth Manager for the Magician. I have no idea if this works, but it seems to load ok. It's from the eten rom.
It might do nothing at all, but it looks cute :wink:

Cab
Zip
Note, it should be installable anywhere. But you have to launch it twice to load it. And it only closes properly with a task killer.

Tried installing this on the Uni and just won't go on. keeps saying unsuccessful both to storage and device before and after a soft reset
Any ideas

The same thing here. Not able to install it...

Works ok on my Magician and Universal. Have you done the certificate unlocker patch?
I've reposted it as a zip as well, above. Just decompress and launch (twice).

Vijay now it is working on my Universal. But there is a small problem. It doesn't show good in VGA resolution. The icons and text seem really distorted... Would it be possible to make a VGA version?
Thank you in advance for all your contribution...

Mythozz: it would be possible to make a VGA version - it's all resource hackable. But I'm only posting it as a curiosity. Unless there's overwhelming demand that indicates it's useful, I'll leave it to someone else to resource hack... (and please post your results back here).
Have you found it good for anything? I don't think it particularly adds any functionality, just puts it all neatly together in one place. But I don't really use Bluetooth, so can't say if it adds anything.
V

Works nice on my SPV M3000 (NL).
Nice looking tool, to bad you have to scroll on some pages

vijay It is working just fine with my Uni, no problems at all. It's really nice that I can do anything I normally do with Bluetooth, but in a more sophisticated way... I use it all the time, I have a BT headset, a BT carkit, I ActiveSync with my PC via BT, exchange files as well so I have to admit that I am a fanatic user of such programs.
I understand that it is trouble for you to create a VGA version, so I will wait and see if you or someone else comes up with such a version. If not, no worries, in any case I thank you for a usefull program

Good to know it works! If I get a bit of time, I'll resource hack it, but anyone with VS2005 can open it up and do it for us - I'm desperately trying to finish a UI for VJToggleToday II so am very tied up
V
ps anyone tried the ftp setting. Looks quite curious!

Idem for me with my 9000
So i opened the file with WinCe cab manager and extracted the two dll files and the Bluetooth Manager.exe
I click on it twice but nothing appears
What's wrong ?
Thank you in advance Vijay :wink:

Diggia: I'm not really sure. Perhaps start with the zipped version, decompress and copy folder to Phone. Again, launch twice.
I'm sure you have already, but make sure you have de-certified your phone first.
Otherwise, I'm not sure. As I said, this is stolen from the Eten, but it works on both of my phones:?: If the zipped version doesn't work, I'll try looking into it further.

Works on my O2 mini ,i used the CAB...Good job bro

Now I try again, thank you Vijay
Just for curiosity, what can i do to see if my device is de-certified ?
:wink:

Diggia: just the usual, try running any of my cabs and see if they install. Ie your system is set up to run uncertified software... I can't remember what system you're using, but the regedit is probably in the wiki if you need it, and there are a few cabs in the hacks section to do this. But I'm sure we're all running a decertified system now anyway!
V

I install your cabs without any problems (I have just installed VJDeviceLock, very useful !!!)
About the system, i have Qtek 9000 (WM5 obviously) with the last Qtek italian Rom taken from the FTP
I have installed the EnableRapi.cab also
The VJBlueToothManager must be run from memory ?
Because I try to launch your application from SD
:wink:

Should run from anywhere. Very strange why it doesn't work? Can't think why...

YEAH, it works !!!!!!
I resolved uninstalling the Tanworks BT Stack (do you remember ?) and now it works, wonderful work Vijay !!!
Thanks a lot :wink:
PS: What's VJToggleToday II ?

Diggia - wow, didn't think of that
VJToggleToday II is an app to maximise the screen space of the Today screen, by shrinking the start bar and softkeys to an option size.
eg (not my screenshot)
I'm currently working on transforming it into something much better, hopefully But the current alpha works quite well.
V

WOW !!!! :shock:
Excellent work, i must try it ! 8)

ViJay,
I think this is the only bt app that can do ftp!! It's great (I use it only for this ability)
It would be great if this can be modified, so that pairing can be done (it currently does add something in the registry, unusable but is something )
I'll literally fall in love (of the manager of course XD)
Speaking on your start-softkey bars hack, it looks really nice: but what software can I add to add another customizable start bar with the same features? and how can I show the icons in the lower bar? Keep the good job!!
Cheers, MocciJ

Storage Problem (Help please!)

Ok...Im new to XDA and have always come here when I've needed help. However, after looking around I cannot find an answer to my current problem. I have a T-mobile wing with a 6gb storage card. I have all of my software, movies, pictures, ie cache, and pictures installed to my storage card. My problem is that my main system storage seems to be decreasing by the day. I am down to 3.5mb and have no clue as to what is consuming the space. I have run scans for large files and have even run sktools to make sure that im clearing out everything. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Danny

Already tried a soft-reset?
It usually clears it up and otherwise check if you have set your storage card as storage for your mail attachements.

Yep...I've done all of that and nothing. Im really running out of options and dont want to do a hard reset to have to re-configure everything how I have it now. urggg

Try using this.
I'd also suggest using PocketMechanic or MemMaid ... and I'm sure SkTools will do it too to clear out all the crap that you can.
With PocketMechanic, you can "relocate" installations from the main device to the storage card, and that may help you as well.

I had the same problem. Then I stuck Open Touch 2.6 on it, and all of a sudden it ran way better. I was really apprehensive about doing it at first too since I was happy with my settings. But really, it's worth just taking the plunge. I went from 5mb to what, over 30mb free and it seems like I have the exact same setup (in fact, MORE programs) and they are on the device and not the card, too.
The standard ROM just really whacks your phone.

The Stock Rom sucks ass. I use TouchIT 4.4 and I'm extremely happy with it.

Thanks for all the info. After looking at some of the threads on the two roms recommended im seriously considering doing so. 3 quick questions....1. Can I revert back to the original rom if needed? If so, how. 2. Is there a feature that my phone has now that these roms do not have? 3. Will flashing the phone with one of these roms void the warantee on my phone? Thanks again!

1. Can I revert back to the original rom if needed? If so, how.
Yes, by running the Stock T-MOBILE RUU
2. Is there a feature that my phone has now that these roms do not have?
Any of the Tmobile crap ... myfaves, hotspot logins ...etc... but you can install most of those with a cab.
3. Will flashing the phone with one of these roms void the warantee on my phone?
Yes. Theoretically. But again, if you ever need to send it in, you can install the Stock Tmobile RUU and hopefully you won't have any problems.

Yeah....better off. I dont need the extra T-mobile crap any ways. Which rom is best? I looked at the one you have and that one seemed better.

btw....what exactly does the page pool hack do?

Different people on here will reccommend different Roms.

pof said:
What is the Page Pool?
Quoting mamaich:
The large the paging pool is, the more code pages can present in RAM simultaneously -> the less loads from slow ROM -> the faster the device is.
Quoting Mike Calligaro from Windows Mobile Team Blog:
In general terms, there are a number RAM uses that aren't reported in the Memory CPL.
For instance, an OEM might set aside a fair amount of RAM to allow the camera to write directly into it without using the CPU (a DMA buffer). Typically the way they do that is to tell the system there is less than the available RAM and then use the RAM the system doesn't know about.
Another example is something called the "page pool." This is similar to the "page file" on a desktop system, and is heavilly used on NAND systems. The page pool isn't something a user can configure, so there's not much point in showing it in the Memory CPL.
Code that can't be shut down or paged out, especially drivers, isn't shown on that Memory CPL either. There's no reason to show you the RAM the display driver is using, because you can't do anything about it.
Applications use RAM in two ways. There is code that runs, and there is data that is created while it is running. On a NOR device, the code can run directly from the ROM and not be loaded into RAM first. This process is called XIP (eXecute In Place). NAND devices can't XIP, so their code is loaded into RAM and executed from there. If you don't have a Page Pool, this code is loaded into normal RAM. The Page Pool is a mechanism to limit how much code is loaded into normal RAM. With a Page Pool, we can unload code that hasn't been used in a while and reload it later if we need to. We can't do that without a Page Pool.

Bro...thanks so much! You have been extremely helpful in answering all of my questions. I think I will be trying out the Touch-It rom this weekend. Hopefully this fixes my original problem.

No probs. Anything else, let us know and we'll be glad to help you out.

Dynamo2 working on wm6 or 6.1!!!!!

Ok, so I didnt learn about this program till today... and when I tried the cab, it didnt work... I did some research on the Dynamo website, their forums, and here... yet, still no dice... However, with a little bit of time, i got it to work, hopefully you will all have great results

To those of you who dont know what dynamo is... its an animated task switcher that allows you to pull up a picture of all open tasks and switch to that picture with your finger or close that task. Kinda like with Vista on windows desktop, except its VERY finger friendly. I have mine set to a button and to a finger gesture with FTouch...
To install this... youll need some older framework... go to the link below and download. After downloading go to your program files on your computer. Look in "microsoft .net framework" folder and upload and install the "netcf.all.wce4.armv4" i wouldve uploaded the cab, but the xda attachments wont let me
UPDATE!!! thanks to Azimuth, you can download the netcf.all.wce4.armv4 cab from megaupload and rapidshare. The new link is below.
View attachment Dynamo_PPC.ARMV4.CAB
Microsot .NET Framework 1.0 sp3
Microsot .NET Framework 1.0 sp3 CAB (megaupload)

If you have any questions, reply or pm me... Enjoy

not working for me. i installed netcf.all.wce4.armv4.cab and the dynomo cab you linked to, but clicking on dynomo from the programs menu only flashes the screen as it opens and then immediately closes, no luck!

you have to map it to a button and then click it. the preset hot button should be the start button. so essentially, you have to open it twice (once to fire up the program, and then again to pull up the program)
are you getting any error messages?

I took the liberty of uploading the cab to MegaUpload for everyone.

[edit]
ok nvm just as i posted this reply, the OP added the link. oh well, his link is the .msi, mine's the direct cab.
side note: works like a charm! thanks.

yeah, that did it. I didnt realize I had to essentially run it twice, once basically when the phone boots up, and then the next time i run it it will boot into the cool task manager setting. very neat program, a little under-featured though, but good enough to use for a cool alt-tab like program.

thank you! holy crap this app is SUPREME.
i got it configured to open with the windows button and its highly configurable which is a plus! is this person still working on this app?
it would be great if it could be updated to work with the latest frameworks so we dont have to install that old one.

i read on their websites forums that 2.5 might be released, but i havent had any framework problems as of yet. it also seems like it only blended in with the existing framework on my device which is a good thing. if this isnt updated by the original developer, maybe someone could ask him if they could continue where he left off, because its a great app. also, they might want to check out his flowfx, there is a dev kit for. itd be really cool to be able to call each transition before a program loads up. our wm6 phones would OWN if this could be implemented lol

works pretty fine on my kaiser thx for the app!

.NET CAB file
Thank you for the suggestion but my laptop is in for repairs & I only have my PDA ...so thats my dilemma
Many thanks

it's so cool but it take match ram memory

Thank you, works great on my Sprint Touch.

Can upload on rapidshare? I can't download from Megaupload

sorry for the complaints about MegaUpload, it's much easier to download from for me (I really dislike Rapidshare's wait times). I never considered other people
Hold up, i'm uploading to Rapidshare right now.
[edit]
http://rapidshare.com/files/90724441/netcf.all.wce4.ARMV4.cab.html

I can't believe there was a program like this all along. It's freaking sweet. If you all like it, you might want to go over to the developer's site and post on the forum that you'd like him to continue. I think he basically gave up on the program because he didn't think there was any interest.

So, I'm finally tired of T-Mobile's ROM

It keeps spazzing on the simplest things, not letting me use WMPlayer without restarting, and basically pissing me off to extremes never felt with my Dash.
I really want to try WM6.1, but I'm not so into losing my InternetSharing (that's helped me at the oddest times) or adding a ton of programs that come with a ROM that I'll never use.
So basically I'm looking for the cleanest ROM possible without going to Windows and begging for an update.
**Shiny phone buttons a plus.

You could try the Just2Clean by ivan. I think the zcink edition has internetsharing. It is BASIC, nothing but what you need for the phone to function; not even a calculator.
WARNING: Your phone has to be Hard-SPL and it flashes from the SD card.

@ bottom bar: just delete shortcut from startupfolder vjatodaytoggel.ink i guess
@ internetsharing und working MMS - use ITsPapaBlackWeather!
good luck

Here is the link for the Hard-SPL
It basically unlocks your phone and overrides the security check done while flashing. Just follow papamopps' instructions and you can flash nearly any Wing/Herald ROM you like.

HTC sync 3.0

Did anybody tried the new htc sync 3.0 with htc hero on android 2.1? They say on htc official site that it's working on htc devices with android 2.1 but on web it's said that this update is just for htc wildfire. I cannot download it for a trial for the moment.

I think I got the answer and I will wait. By the way, HTC sync really sucks!

I wasn't using any sync before hand but it's always wise to uninstall anything you have application wise before installing the new versions.

Not true - if the application is written correctly it shouldn't matter whether you have an old version installed. It is incredibly rare than a new version of software will break older ones unless they explicitly state that it will (i.e. there has been a major code/structure change).

It is not a Microsoft update, so it won't break older code.

It's not true. Well on forums I see people doing 'upgrades' to applications and I see people face problems all the time doing it this method.
Theres plenty apps there has been issues with including java/vmware/flash beta ...... et al.

When you consider how many of millions of people update their software like this and out of that you might get a few thousand with problems you're still talking a very minor amount. There is no need to uninstall every app you want to update. This would take ages. I don't care if you want to do it for every app you update but don't recommend this to others as its just going to put people updating software when they should be.
And i've never had a problem updating java, vmware or flash (even using the beta versions) from older versions to newer ones. Java used to leave behind the old ones but it never negatively affected a system (aside from filling up the hard drive). VMWare is worthless anyway (get VirtualBox - support the open source community). Flash is made by Adobe - of course its going to have issues - they make software for Mac's then break the software and release it for PC. Having said this I very rarely have an issue with software updates unless it is explicitly stated on their website that it requires you to uninstall before updating.

Hey guys,
The HTC Sync DOES and DO work with HTC Hero.
I did uninstall the previous version and drivers and installed the new one. Yes it does tell you that its not recognized and the HTC Sync is not found on your computer when the phone trying to search for it. But I left it connected to go and search on Google to find out why, Guess what .. It run by itself telling me that I have Hero phone and what I should call it!!
Now I am syncing my stuff and its just working fine, just leave it for 2-3 minutes and it show up by itself

Thats probably because its installing drivers and detecting the correct phone et al. Glad it works.

It might not work with that ROM, try asking someone to try it who is using that ROM to see if they get the same effect.

Yeah thought this so going to try the orange 2.1 rru,
Will report back later tonight.

I've tested it with VR12, it doesn't work. Tried it with 2.1 RUU and it worked.
