Startup location

What are all the possible ways for WM5 to startup programs.
With windows I know you have the startup folder, run keys in the registry and services.
What are all the possible locations a program can be launched from within WM5. The only one I know of is the startup folder but there obviously are more.
Thanks

Hi Danny,
On the contrary I am paid for the comments.
The payment is Not recd. in Cash or Kind;
But some nice ppl (no pun Intended) sometimes just feel nice...
after all it's a small world
it's a short life....
I always make it a point to feel a bit on the lighter side once in a while.
No Illl-feelings here buddy.
In case u felt Offended, I did NOT MEAN it that way..
In Fact I meant was that though a very innocent question from ur side, it set me also thinking.... about another way the items can be added to startup.
Do let me know when something crops up here....
And once more..
I MEAN IT THAT I DID NOT SAY THIS To offend your query in any way Cos it was something I too wanna learn.
And when I get the answer to this, I shall be One step ahead of where I am Today (thanx to u Danny)
I am simply an newbie and learning daily;
Even When I am 10,000 posts old ( i hope they lemme stay here that long :wink: ) still whenever I shall log in, : i know I shall keep on learning new things here..
Its a great Forum And I am proud to be a part of it here With you beside me....
One more thing u don't know
Your Posts about the Wireless Networking here were very helpful to My Friend who had problems, a few days back. and I even forwarded ur links to him by e mail...
He got so happy ..... Thanx again for that Danny :wink:

No offence taken or meant.
Ive only had my jamin a week now and as with everything in my job I like to know how it works, the ins and outs. I think ive pretty much got the jamin figured even to the point ive made my own CABs to help when I hard reset (done one a day so far while I figure it out.)
The only thing left is understanding what runs when I turn it on. Like its nice to know what runs when you turn windows on Windows Mobile is the same, even more so given the limited memory. For example I have the built in CA antivirus installed, but I set it not to run on startup, dont want it remnding me im out of date. Its just finding where teh startup locations are.

You should really get rid of the antivirus. Uninstall it completely.
One day in the (not so near) future, viruses for Windows Mobile devices may become a problem, but for now any anti virus software for these devices is a pure waste of system resources.

totally agree. I actaully hard reset again (yup, more fiddling) and removed it from my Ext Rom.
At present there are only 2 virus's. one is a proof of doncept (Wince/duts) and the other is still pretty lame.
The chances of running such a program is slim but both are detected by desktop virus's scanners. so unless your downloading software direct to the PPC your pretty safe. Even then you still need to launch the file.

Hey Danny
U can try installing the MemMaid (attached)
It has a great interactive user friendly interface and tells u all the hidden apps running and u can deselect a few ones(coz it tells u which ones are taking the Most memory)
Do take a full backup, in case u delete a system file and the device does not boot up.
I hope some seniors here would advice more on this..
SORRY I HAD TO ATTACH PICS THIS WAY.
My Image Store site was down

Well done
@Shaun33
Great work. I downloaded it, not tested jet, but it will work for sure.
Thank you to fulfill the request!!!!!

wow! great work.

I already have a working cab but i wish this was around when I was trying to first make it - good work - I'm sure a lot of people will really appreciate this! Now if only we can get one to configure and edit dialing plans

First findings...
Hi Shaun33,
Thanks a lot ! It's really a great initiative from you to write (and, mainly, make it available for everybody) such a program ! I have gave it a try, and have notice some small bugs, or better put, behavings not according to what I was expecting. Here are my first findings:
1. Not properly an error. Just an improvement, perhaps: I had already a Voip provision working on my device. So, it would be nice if the application could read the provision file, and bring its contents to the screen, beforehand. So, users could make small corrections only, in case their provisions were not working properly before.
2. This seems to be a bug, though: as I have not seen my provision on the screen, as stated above, I've decided to exit the program without making any changes, for what I have tapped the soft button "Exit", many times, but the application has kept running. I've had to kill its corresponding proccess to stop it.
Hope this post might help improving your your great application further. I'll try to keep you informed.
Thanks again !
Carlos

feature request
nice and useful app. thanks.
adding "dialplan editing" feature would be great.
in fact it would make the app complete.
following post would be helpful in this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1224031&postcount=454

Definatly, adding a dialing format editor would rock!
something along the lines of
Code:
+nn (nnnn) nnnnnn
where '+' is the international dialing code (replaced by 00)
'(' and ')' are alphanumerical characters expected
n is any numerical digit
' ' is a whitespace between other values
just to enter a simple string rather than \D{2}-\? etc...etc...

The exit button will be fixed.
How could i miss that .
The Dialplan is going to happen.
Im aiming for something like asterisk
07XXXXXXXX will match 0711111111 - 0799999999
As i said version 1.

reading the settings from the OS is a little harder then coding it... As the API is one way...
still looking

fantastic work, much appreciated

Shaun
Thanks for producing this great timesaver. Even in its V1 form it's already WAY more convenient than having to fiddle with _setup.xml, cabarc, etc.
I look forward to seeing your version that can save and load configurations and dialplans.
Thanks again

Where to start? Newb help.

I have began having an interest in modifying my tmobile wing. However; there is so much that is possible, i have no idea where to began. I am interesting in the touch-it rom, but scared at bricking my phone. Also, have read about the pagepool tweaks. Where should i start? Some help would be great. To whomever responds, Thank you.
T-mobile Wing - Stock - SPB Pocket Plus - If you need any other Info please let me know. Thanks.

i was afraid of flashing too but did it two days ago and it's a very simple process that will not damage your phone at all.
however, i got open touch 5.2 original and hated it so went back to the stock rom.
if someone can point me to a ROM with zero problems and is as close to the stock ROM as possible please let me know.

Let me start by welcoming you to the boards. First and foremost, although i'm sure you already have done this, go read this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327046
It has a lot of information about modifying your phone. As far as what rom to go with? Your going to have to make that decision on your own. Personally, i like open touch and touch it, but there are a lot of other good roms to choose from. Just read around and you'll see. Each rom has its own quirks, and none of them are going to be exactly what you want to the T, but that is because these guys cooking the roms take a lot of time to build them for us, and special orders would be just to much.
Welcome and good luck modding!
P.S. Flashing is easy, so is unbricking, just make sure if you try to go hard-spl that your phone is compatible before you do it. Main way to actually brick these things. Also read as much as possible before you start.

Maybe you should go with HTC Home. That's what I did cause I didn't want to flash or anything either. I didn't wanna ruin an expensive phone. And after all, it IS a phone. It's main purpose is for being able to call / receive calls. But yeah, HTC Home is nice. Here's what my phone looks like as of now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Once you get HTC Home, you can get HTC Home Customizer. It lets you customize your phone even more. As far as programs (.cabs) you can use, there's alot. I use quite a few myself. I use..
Slide2Unlock. It's from the iPhone I believe. It acts like a screen saver for your phone. You can lock your phone if you want to, but using this is just as easy. It's kind of cool, but not a must have.
JiveTalk. I use this as my Instant Messaging program. I used to use Palringo (and technically still do), but Jive Talk seems better to me.
pcShutXP. This cool little tool basically lets you Soft Reset or Shut Down your phone. It's nice to have and use after you install something and you have to restart.
Total Commander. This is a registry editor program. You don't need this unless you plan on doing any registry editing basically. It's definitely useful though. You get to see everything on your phone.
Battery Status. This program shows the status of your battery on your home screen. It also lets you overclock your phone. It's great.
Large Start Menu. This makes the start menu bigger. It's definitely nice to have. Especially if you use your finger.
Soft Key. This lets you change your soft keys on your phone. Those are the buttons on the bottom of your today screen.
iPhone Calulator. Pretty obvious one, lol. The regular calculator is ugly.
TodayAgenda. This one is nice. It's for your appointments/tasks. It creates a scroll bar on your today screen so if you have a bunch, it doesn't take up alot of space. You can change alot of things within the program.
Other than that, I have custom wallpapers, ringtones, icons and themes. Use the search feature on the forum and you'll find all this stuff your need. If not, I can help you. Hope this helps.

You must want a new ROM for some reason. Is it bcoz the stock one is too slow? Opinions differ on what is the best for beginners as stated before read read read. But basically almost all the Custom ROMs have their own spice and if it is written on the ROM it can't be replaced easily. Personally I use Just2Clean becoz I want to do my phone from the bottom up and eliminate a bunch of extra unneccessary files.
Basically just absorb as much info as you can and feel free to ask again on anything small or big on this thread that is what a community is for to help no matter how big or small the issue.

I'd start here...

You can flash these ROMs without Hard-SPL. Just follow the instructions for the USPL. It's so easy it's Armyproof. I'm using OpenTouch 4.0 Lite and it's great. It freezes up once every 3 days, unlike the stock ROM which freezes 3 times per day. And since it's not a Hard-SPL, you can go back to the stock T-Mobile ROM whenever you want. (Not like you ever would...) Once you feel comfortable with USPL flashing, Google "radio 3.21.90." it's the newest radio version and it'll boost your signal, with a slight decrease in battery life.

Well, all I have to say, is there is a TON of information on here. I know I read for about 2 weeks before I decided to Hard spl. There really isn't one rom that is better than others, and the only real way to tell is to try flashing to each of them and see what you like and don't. I've flashed to every rom on here, and prefer the Open touch series. I'm running v 3.0 and have tweaked it so it flies. Just make sure you read a lot. You definitely don't want to end up bricking your phone. Really, Hard spl'ing is where you can have problems with bricking, but as long as you read, you will be fine. I would recommend hard spl though because it makes it a lot easier to flash roms. If you have any questions, just pm me. I know a lot of the terminology was a little confusing at first too.

Remember to visit the link on my sign.......

Thanks
Thanks to all who have replied. Have been digging through the forums even since i posted and doing some reading. Hard-SPL seems the way to go with a slight risk. I am interested in the TouchIT roms, But think i will start small with the ROMS that don't require Hard-SPL (whatever the heck that means!) lol! I will post back my results in just a few days. Don't forget to check back. Thanks guys!

Yeah, the uspl (non hard spl) method is a lot safer, so that's prob your best bet until you feel more comfortable with it. All the open touch series don't require hard spl. I'm not sure about the touch it series though.

Thoughts
okay. After doing some research and digging through the forums, looks like i am going to try the Open Touch 5.0 biggy. However; one thing i don't understand is if something were to go wrong and wanted/needed to go back to orignal settings. What files would i require to flash back to orginal? That information seems to be a little condiluted to find. Any help would be great guys. Thank you.

first off welcome to xda developers!
secondly take some time and read through some of the threads, find out wat suits your needs.
third, android is becoming a big hit as far as upgrading.

Welcome always glad to have a new face
the opinions are endless what you really need to do is start reading any forum that peeks your interest and ask you questions in them we are all willing to give tips but we can't tell you what is going to work for you nor can we do the customization for you
Personally the first thing i would do is unlock the phone and flash a custom 6.1 or 6.5 Rom and then i would make sure you can get GPS if you have a Verizon phone there is a few tricks to getting gps unlocked
after that i would take a good look at the "Android OS" by google and the open hand set alliances its all i ever use and far better then anything by Microsoft, the best part about Android is that it does not effect your windows Mobile system in anyway. in short its like having a duel boot system on a pc
just search around there is a lot of information and fell free to ask question inside of existing forum to get more specific answers

Hey, welcome! First off, it really depends on what carrier you're using. For example, my Verizon vogue came with crippled EV-DO and non-existent GPS. I had to flash my radio before updating to a custom ROM. However, if that's already working for you, a great start would be to put Android on your microSD card and boot it up - it's a huge leap from WinMo!

NFSFAN just released a new WinMo 6.5 rom. I'd give that a shot. There are plenty of tutorials in /Vogue upgrading. I'd also recommend you try Google Ion. It runs from your sdcard so there is no flashing or anything required and it runs quite fast plus you get the android market with tons of free apps.

Hey, so you'll probably be fine if you poke around for tutorials, it's pretty clear once you do you're research. If you feel lost poke around in your settings for the about page, and post what version of WM (6.0 or 6.1) you're running, as well as the radio if you see it.
If you don't see that, check to see if you have GPS location working in google maps. (These will tell you if Verizon has locked you out of GPS and the fastest EV-DO Rev. A data speeds. if you're in WM 6.0, you can unlock, flash a radio, and flash a ROM, if you're running 6.1 you have to do a longer process to circument Verizon's obnoxious policies).
Post that here and me/someone will tell you you're next step .

gotta get rid of today screen
first thing you gotta do imho is to load a new theme. I would start with spb mobile shell 3. That one is free for a couple of weeks. Once you load it you can add a bunch of add ons:

Then u gotta add s2u2 and s2p:

U just getting started. Games, aps, etc... are plentiful. There are a few threads here and on ppcgeeks that have links to many touch software apps. Just do a search and try not to get overwhelmed.

Okay, so if you don't want to flash your ROM the valhalla CAB on the XDA wiki will give you location in google maps, and you already have a good radio (3.37.78, I think, giving you fast download speeds). If you want GPS in android or in other applications, or just want to try out what custom ROMs like NFSFAN's have to offer (speed, stability, features from newer HTC phones), there are tutorials to unlock your GPS. (Like this one, but careful, flashing risks bricking your phone, if you are't reasonably careful!)
Also, if your using Pocket IE, search XDA for Opera Mobile 9.5 in qvga or Skyfire - both are waaaay better.

ok well if you have WM6.1 by Verizon you have some work cut out for you but here are the tutorials i followed to get unlocked gps
What I did 1st was follow the instructions on this page:
http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS
that will give you an unlocked gps
next follow the instructions on this page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...VerizonAGPSFix
They are meant for the xv6800 and the website for the tools is down, but the instructions are the same.
You need wmodem drivers and you need qpst.
You might be able to type ##3424 into your phone and hit send, or maybe ##3424# then send, or you might need to go to system tools->phone codes->diag
That puts the phone in dmr mode.
or if all else fail i used a program called nOpen
in the file line enter
/Windows/DmRouter.exe
command line
/DIAG

the get qpst working, read from the phone, go to the GPSOne tab, and check off all the boxes on the left. For the PDE IP address, put 216.198.139.92. Port is 8889, then IP as protocol and PDE as calculation method.
Next write back out to the phone, and it should reboot.
Next you need to update the registry with the same IP address and port, ppcgeeks has a regedit that takes care of it here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=815901
Good luck!
if you need i still have all the files i used
just pm me and i will see about up loading them for you
i know it seems like a lot of work but is not as bad as it looks just pm me and i can walk you thought any question you have (i hope)

New HD2

After several problems with my HD2 which i first got in December last year, i sent it back to HTC for the third time. The main problem was a defective touch screen and the other wwas the haptic feedback stopping all the time.
I spoke to a customer service rep on the phone and explained my annoyance that my phone had been sent to HTC twice to repair the same things and i still had the problems. The guy on the phone assured me that the screen would be replaced and the haptic feedback repaired.
HTC had my phone for a week and a half and i got it back yesterday and guess what???? They sent me a replacement HD2. WAHHOO!!! Its about bloody time!
Looking at the installed applications, i noticed that it came with a few hotfixes installed and i don't know what they are. Does anyone out there know?
They are
Hotfix LEO08570
Hotfix LEO08604
Hotfix LEO08787_1.0
Hotfix LEO08491

LEO08491 - Hot fix for LEO wrong task behavior.
LEO08570 - Hot-fix SA for LEO Audio Booster issue.
LEO08787_1.0 - Hot-fix for screen sensitivity
LEO08604 - I think this is the album hotfix

pablo11, your a star, thanks mate

Hey
im with you on the search 1st thing, but if you look closely at the answer you got from google, its the answer posted by pablo11, so your search wouldnt have been so easy had the op not posted!!??
And yes i know... this post was as useful as yours

why use google when this forum is for passing on knowledge amonst other things?
I asked a question and I received an answer from a senior member who is willing to pass on his knowledge. Again, thanks to Paulo11 for replying and not saying "try searching" like i read in many other posts. Why does every member of XDA forums have the function to post a new thread if they weren't meant/allowed to ask questions.
Kalavere and Kam333, if you are bothered by people asking questions to which they don't know the answers, then please don't bother replying. It probably takes more effort you complaining about it then actually answering the initial question
Why have XDA if we can't ask questions??????????

My only guess is that English isnt your 1st language so maybe some of my post was lost in translation???
I was actually Defending Your Right to post, i could spell it out but that might seem a bit patronising & i dont want to drag this out, hopefully you will read it again & get the point.
All the best!

Kam333,
i sincerely apologise
i only read the first part of your post seeing that you agreed with Kalavere and got annoyed without reading the rest of your post. Again, i do apologise, please forgive me!

Hey hatchie
Dont take it so seriously, there's nothing to forgive, glad you got it.
p.s. it maybe a pipe dream but forums should be a friendly/ productive place & useless unnecessary digs at new members asking legitimate Q's shouldn't be encouraged IMHO.

Do you know where i can get these hotfixes from? I want to flash a custom rom but want these hotfixes in case i want to go back to the stock rom
Is it possible to extract these from my phone somehow?
Thanks

Hey
most of the hot fixes are listed on the HTC support site http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=all
but you will find that most chefs are aware of these issues & almost all of the fixes are incorporated into the new roms.
if you want to be extra safe, invest in a decent backup app such as SPB or Sprite backup & backup before trying a custom rom, then if you decide to revert back to stock you can restore your setup using 1 of these tools. i personally use SPB which has saved a lot of time when going back to a previous rom.

Hello!
I have just received my phone back from HTC yesterday. I too had the twitchy screen problem and they agreed to sort it under warranty.
They told me they had replaced the mainboard as this was causing the problem. I booted it up and it did seem better, though when I looked I realised they have just installed the hot fix that slows it down and desensitises it. As soon as I reflashed the phone the screen problem is back so I’m not too happy.
People seem to say new HD2’s don’t have the twitchy screen problem. Is there a new screen part in the more recent ones? or if not what is the difference that means some people ahve twitchy screens and others don’t. I have had mine since day of release and HTC told me there was only one part number for the screen.
Thanks in advance!

maybe its your rom's fault?

Well it does it in all ROMs. It was only because they installed the hot fixes. and as people say, hot fix LEO08787_1.0 makes the phone a bit unresponsive.
Its hard to understand if ti is a hardware fault or just works differently based on the individual. if i literally hover my finger over the screen within a hairs width it starts jumping all over the place. Some people here say its a fault that needs returning, others say its just normal.
what do people think?put up and shut up or send back to HTC and nag for a new screen. it makes typing things very annoying.

It's a ROM issue, the screen responsiveness can be tweaked, I use Energy ROM and a few releases ago NRG tweaked the screen responsiveness so it was really awkward for me to use my keyboard SlideIT, as I moved my finger across the screen the line was oscillating everwhere. As soon as I flashed an updated ROM it fixed the sensitivity issue.

alexpatrick86,
that was exactly the same problem i had with my first hd2. The first time it was sent back, they said that they had to reconnect a connector on the back of the screen......it came back exactly the same. The second time i sent it away, they reflashed the rom (seems a bit useless if you ask me, seeing as we can do that ourselves), and yet again, it came back exactly the same.
The third time i was told the screen was going to be replaced, however they sent me a new device. The new device did however, have the sensitivity hotfix (among others) installed. I have since flashed a custom rom (duttys) and the phone is working perfectly.
I would say that your screen needs replaced or the device replaced. give HTC a ring and complain until they get sick of you and send you a new phone!

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm too using the Energy ROM v10. I have used Duttys ROMS too but they were the same.
I have had the problem through out ownership of the device. It’s annoying buying such an expensive device and it having such a poor screen. I get the button flicking people demonstrate on YouTube where you press the backspace button and it selects U's, B's and all sorts. Or in notepad u press lightly and can see it draw a pretty scalagmite LOL.
HTC replaced the mainboard in my handset for me, so they must have thought something was wrong with it. So now my call timer is back at 20secs lol.
I just dont want the jitters, and i dont want reduced sensitivity as a substitue. Especially when some say they had it on devices bt susequent replacements didnt have it. Hmmmm

Thanks Hatchie! Thats what i will do! I can handle it been very sensitive and I can adjust, but having it jump every where and press buttons over an inch from my thumb makes it unusable and it just cant be right! And if ti is, then what were hTC thinking?
