Hi,
is there a way on Windows Mobile 6.5, 6.5.x and WMD, to map the windows logo button (not the hardware key of a device) to another program than honeycomb start nenu??? I have a little program that is named "Folderview" (it seems to be from HTC) that will show up the start menu with big icons like there it is in Windows Mobile 6.x Smartphone Edition.
The background for my question is that i own a PDA E-Ten Glofiish M800 that has only 64 megs of RAM (total free ram after strat is only around 20 megs with honeycomb) and that's too small for using GPS functions with navigation software like igo 8. I tried the tool "Quickmenu" but i don't like it because i do not want to have a start menu like in verisons of Windows Mobile prior 6.5.
Thanks

Hi,
thanks for your tipps. StartButtonHook is the tool i was searching for.
AMeBa doesn't work, don't know what's wrong.
But now i have another Problem. The tool "folderview" does not show up the "settings". Has anyone an idea howto create a link to access "settings"???
Thanks

Hello to all programers
I want to write my own program for my HTC Elf (touch). I try Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with Windows Mobile 6 SDK. I wrote same small applications but all with windows (frames) I tried some example from SDK for fullscreen application but it didn't look fine for me. Could you someone send me some small fullscreen application as example please.

Hi!
I don't have the code right now but I think you have to set the borderstyle to none and the window state and add the following:
FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
You can have some problems with SIP though...
Hope this helps.
thx
thx
I tried it but after maximize there is still bar with system button on the top and bar with keyboard button on the bottom.
Good evening!
I am currently using a iGO8 navigation system on my HTC Diamond and often get crashes because of the lack of enough memory. So I thought of the following solution:
Wouldn't it be possible to create a multiboot menu which shows up when booting the Diamond, just before the Explorer.exe loads, which lets me choose between booting the normal Windows Mobile GUI or the iGO application (or whatever application I want to)?
I think iGO won't need Windows Mobile to run as it runs on PNA's which are basically just Windows CE systems, and those don't run any Explorer application unless you force them to do so.
I think this can be made possible by changing the INIT entry for Explorer.exe to any other application (the menu) in the registry.
Would that be possible?

the PNA/ gps menu its an application for Windows CE. it loads after windows ce has been loaded. It goes in full screen, without an exit button. so basicaly when the gps menu is loaded all other necesary wince files are loaded (except maybe explorer.exe, witch can load in 1sec with taskman command.). Also wince loading takes about 5 seconds and win6.1 about 1min. As i know win6.1 does not have explorer.exe. insteed i think is nk.exe witch is the os. so without os igo wont work.
Isn't there any way we can skip the Windows Mobile GUI and directly start iGO?
Also, I don't think all neccessary files are loaded AFTER iGO was started. I think they are loaded before as the last INIT entry is the navigation software.
I don't know if Windows CE has some kind of regsvr32.exe or something similar.

I don't think it's possible. But I do know a solution - you should find a ROM with maximum RAM available to user.
I have one (Gen.Y) but I just install to much stuff onto my diamond and therefore the free memory is smashed

I think that you are confusing ROM (storage memory) & RAM (program memory). Program memory is what you need for flawless iGo performance. Try, for example, latest official HTC ROM, it should be better for RAM than most of the cooked ROMs.
I know the difference
It's just that I am running too much applications in the background (WisBar Advance, TouchResponse, Palringo and what not all) so that the free RAM is just smashed
Well, I guess I have to clean up a bit.
Thanks anyway

In that case, I have a definitive solution - you should by Raphael, like me. I'm able to run at the same time Garmin, iGo, Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, DotFred TaskMgr and much much more, and have absolutely no problems.
Hello all,
I'm looking for any program/hack to skin core components of Windows Mobile like buttons, scrollers, combo boxes, radio buttons, sliders... Since the first version of Windows Mobile MS hasn't changed terrible Windows 3.x like skin Even on new WM6.5 (except the scrollers). Do somebody know any program to change this awful old style? On Palm there are some programs (e.g. http://www.3gxsoft.com/palmrevolt/ ) so I hope there is any program even for Windows Mobile ;-)
Do somebody know at least how to change/add skin of these core components???
I think you forgot to use search.
There's an entire section on themeing, for example for the Diamond.
You can change some of the components via tsk files, but most of them require editing resource files like shellres, tshres and so on.
wisbar. (not WAD), just wisbar is only method for skinning what cannot be done in 6.5 feeble m$ methods.
hi guys (and girlz)
i have a question about some program/application icons on my htc snap with windows mobile 6.5, it comes with some pre-installed stuff and i want to delete the icons (not uninstall, just delete) and re-arrange them (so they won't apprear in my menu screen).
i came accross the problem, that when i use the explorer (in wm 6.5), the option, copy/paste/delete is not available, when i connect the device to my laptop using the windows explorer, i thought i would be able to go in to the windows folder of the device (like in wm5.0 and wm6.1).
however, that, it seems, is not the case, coz the folder does not appear in the windows explorer, does any one of you got some ideas i can try or do?
oh, and before i forget, does anyone of you also got a wm6.1 rom for the htc snap laying arround (non wiki links, since that is not working at the moment).
chill, hope to hear from you, thanx in advance.
kind regards,
alex (htc snap s521)

i think i found a solution, using total commander, i give it a try and see how.
Hello. I have a i920 with windows mobile 6.5 prof. I wanted to know from start to finish what I need to do to make my phone use Manila, Co0kie's Home Tab Apple 'ipad' WVGA Windows Mobile 6.5.x theme or something similar. I can do a rom but would rather use a cab to do it, but at this point with 20 Hard reboots later I am frustrated.
Thanks for you assistance.
