I forgot my USB cable at home,now that I made custom fonts for the Beautiful Widgets clock I want to test them. Is there any software for Windows that browse and of course send files to specific folders over Bluetooth?

Thanks!
Linux phones are cool
Wow.. I thought this thread would be a lost cause. There's almost an app for everything.
Used SwiFTP: Sent the skins to the right folder but beautiful widgets doesn't list them
I restarted the phone but still no listing while the files are right there
I think I should buy a desktop stand for my office

Darky has given you a good link. Like me you're new to WAD and I found the following guide to WAD very useful in getting started.

Thanks for the link... it's very usefull. i will start to learn how to make my own skin but....
in the meanwhile i'd like to use some skin found on the forum.
i have downloaded it (for example Vistabetatwo). unpacked and copied in the
SD, set in wisbar the directory and in the theme page i can find it.
selected, but the only things changed are the upper and bottom bar.... and where are all the object on the desktop? the link? the meter?
in the preview image there so many things....
where am I making mistakes?
Thnaks
some might be from other programs like spb pocketplus /spb diary / pocket pc phone alarm ..etc, also to customize what's on your today screen go to star/settings/today/items and choose them from there
WAD is for advanced users ...

Not sure I agree with you. Yes it is a bit finicky to work out and it does help to know your way around basic directories and file structures but from knowing nothing about it two days ago I now have 5 today screens all looking different all with different plug ins and buttons set up to move from one page to another. Where I do agree is, that this is a Hermes board and not a general one and perhaps we don't want to clog it up with non hermes specific issues? There is plenty of help\ on other sites for WAD as shown in above posts.
I would say in relation to hermes that WAD is very useful due to its provision of multiple Today screens as hermes has a relatively small screen to fit all those lovely plugins. Also I was concerned it would really slow up my TyTn with all these pages and plugins but actually having the plugins on seperate pages rather than all on one has speeded up the device! I think the real advanced users like vijay for example probably write their own code/programmes for this sort of thing.
My advice with all these things is give it a try and see where you get to, just back-up what you can before starting and go for it - that's the joy of having the hermes in the first place - unless you're a business user in which case don't tell the boss!!

The point of Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Advance Desktop is that you can set them up and customise them and so you have to hunt down a nice theme download it / unzip and place it on your device in suitable directories. These do not in my experience come in nice exe or cab files but are files you put directly into the folders WA and WAD looks for it's themes. The following link has the popular Windows vista theme:
http://www.sbsh.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=11182
Download the qvga skin package. (can download the icons and wallpapers as well for later use.)
When you unzip there will be a lot of folders the most essential ones to put in your Wisbar Themes folder on your device are the ones named Windows Vista WA2, Windows Vista WAD, and Windows Vista Media Player.
The themes folder is likely to be on device or storage card in programme files>lakeridge>wisbar advance>Themes. Drop the files in there. Go to WA settings>my theme page and hopefully the theme will show up for you to select, If not you need to go to WA >settings>programme directories and tell it where to find the new files.
Sadly no programme that just does it all for you and as darky pointed out some of the fancy stuff on today screens posted in the forums:darkysome might be from other programs like spb pocketplus /spb diary / pocket pc phone alarm ..etc, also to customize what's on your today screen go to star/settings/today/items and choose them from there
So the look is coming from many different features all running together.
Cheers
Mike

This may take some time to explain. (a good general guide is the WAD.Doc link shown earlier).
1. Be sure Advance Desktop is active - go to windows symbol and give it a long press. This brings up a menu. Select Settings. Click arrow beside My Theme, this brings up another menu select plugins at the bottom, an item "Desktop" should appear and be ticked. (If not Wisbar Advance Desktop is not installed properly).
2. Get back to Desktop. Long Press on a free area on the desktop and a menu should appear. Select "new" (we'll add a RAM Meter) so select "meter". A screen appears, use drop down box at top of screen and select "Memory RAM". Leave storage set to "My Device".
3. In the Path to image box you must enter the path to an image. (If you downloaded the Icons file along with the vista theme and saved them on your device/storage card then use gray box on right to find your way tothe folder and select a nice icon. If you did not put the icons folder on your device then just use the gray box followed by down arrow top right to go to the My Device> "Windows" folder. A lot of icons should then appear. Pick one - (doesn't matter which one it's just so you see how it works), and click ok. Pressing ok again takes you back to desktop and your meter should be there. You can drag it to a suitable place.
It's very much the same procedure for adding new shortcuts other meters, new desktop pages etc. With practice you can change to new wallpapers font sizes etc etc.
Enough for now.

I want to be able to select my video and music from the today screen . Is there a way I can put a short cut there ?
At the moment I have to select start,pictures & videos,my docs, videos and scroll to the file I want to play.
Maybe I need to install a jukebox or something huh?
You need either a launcher (like iLauncher) today plug-in or something like WisBar Advanced 2 & WA Desktop.
equally you can use PHMTrayLaunch to do this...
There're many Today launchers. Please check out my review of iLauncher ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=561&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ) and the links back to my earlier reviews. I've thoroughly compared most available solutions; based on these reviews, you'll be able to choose the best for you.

Personally, I like wm5newmenu.
hey thats brilliant guys thank you thank you . yeehaw

How do I install this ?
presumably I unzip it first on the PC and then transfer all the files to a folder (which one) on the wizard and run the exe file from there ??
could you spell it out for dumbo here please
pretty straight forward really.....download----unzip----place application somewhere on you device----launch it----place a checkmark in "Enable TrayLaunch".
Once you have that done click on Add and make shortcuts to whatever you want....i.e. a shortcut to PIE might be like this \Windows\InternetExplorer.lnk or a shortcut to the Midlet Java Manager would be something like \Windows\jmm.exe
Personally I have the PHMTrayLaunch stored in the \Windows directory then I created a shortcut to it in PHMTrayLaunch so I can call it easily...
im looking for an app i have seen it before but cant seem to find it to download it.
its were it lets me be able to connect to my computer thru wifi so that i can transfer files to and from my comp over wifi
does anyone know what the name of it is or were i can download it from
i guess no one knows which app it is that im talking about
I am guessing it is like a network explorer type program.
However Mocha VNC allows you to connect to your computer anywhere through WiFi or Data Connection (it is a remote desktop application) and it will allow you to do File Transfers Back and Forth.
It has a free trial and works on windows mobile so you could give it a try.
yeah thats pretty much what im looking for is to be able to transfer songs to and from my computer to my phone with out having to take out my memory card or have to plug in my phone... thanks
ok so either i dont know what im doing and am a complete dumbass or this **** isnt working can any one give me a hand
Try this. I use this with HTC Touch Elf and it works perfect. This is a full version - Found it on this site - However, can't remember who innitialy posted otherwise I would give credit. Works to view files over wifi connection, transfer files. I listen to my music with this and watch videos from computer on my device. Transfer speeds are not bad but not great. Not to hard to use. Just make folders on your computer as shared folders and then use this program to seach them on your network and connect to them. You only have to connect once and then use file explorer - go to network and into the network folders each time after.
Use Copy and paste to transfer files from desktop to your device
oh ok cool cool thanks let me see if it will work
i tried to install it on my phone but after i did the install i cant find it any were to open it

Easy. Start, Settings, connections, Network plugin
Enjoy
i dont have a network plugin option all i have beam, bluetooth, connections csd line type, gprs setting, networkcards, usb to pc, wireless LAN
I don't know what to say. Did it install properly?
I had a difficult time finding it as well as I didn't expect it to go there. Did you try doing a search on your device for it. Also, search using file explorer in Program Files to see if it is there. It has got to be somewhere, just have to find it. It will be worth it as it should work perfectly for what you need.
well im getting ready to go through my phone with file explore on my comp to see if i can find it but i havent been able to so far
hell yeah i got it it wound up going into my windows folder on my phone
thanks so much

If you use IFONZ or ultimate launch or throttle launcher I would create a shortcut launcher Icon so that you don't always have to go into your window folder. I have a shortcut on my phone to it using ultimate Launch. That way if I want to brows other peoples shared folders while using their wifi connection< I can just click easily and search for their shared folders. works nice.
heck yeah thanks man my only thing now is that every time that i try to back to the previous folder it wont let me i have to exit out and start over.

it shouldnt be doing that. it doesnt for me. did you try a soft reset after installing. might help it run properly
yeah i did the soft reset now my router is being a pain. man this crap really suck i just cant seem to get anything to go my way
I'm working on some panel development tools. Here is the first full application. I use it to quickly mess around and create new panels. I was tired of using an "on device" registry editor and copying .cpr files back and forth between my PC and phone.
So here it is... The attached app edits the CHome branch of the registry and the Titanium CPR file "remotely" - on the PC. The phone needs to be connected ActiveSync in order for the program to work.
It's working great for me, hope it does for you. Please backup your data before using just in case, although I haven't had any problems.
Also, please let me know the good, the bad and the ugly so I can make the next version better.
sweet. keep us posted when you make new versions and what not. will test this as soon as i flash to a 6.5 rom which i hope to be soon.
Thanks for this application.Could you post some screen shots (or is that so simple for even a noob like me?).anyhow will download and let you know
I'm new here so please bare with me. I just bought a used Sprint Mogul and I'm looking to "play" with it a bit. Nothing real crazy as I've been scanning this forum over the last few days waiting for my phone to come in the mail and I just want to keep it simple. I have the programs that I want to load on the phone and I don't need to flash the ROM or anything like that to use these. My question is this. Do I need to unlock my phone to add these programs and how do I load them to my phone ? Do I need a special program to do this or can I just use active sync ? The instructions I have to load the programs are pretty simple but they do not tell me how to install them. Just the order to install them and soft reset etc. I have found some really cool things on this forum about my phone but as much as I have learned I also have alot of unanswered questions as well.
Thanks in advance.
Fairly simple....
If the program you want to install is an .exe file, then you will hook your phone up with the usb cable and let active sync do its thing. Then double click the file to install. Active sync will prompt you with the rest.
If the file is a .cab file, then transfer the file the way it is to your microsd card using the active sync browse. Browse to the folder you want to put it then drag and drop or copy/paste. Then on the phone, tap start/programs/ file explorer. Go to where the .cab file is and tap it! Thats all!
If you install a program you dont want installed anymore you can un-install it through start/settings/system remove programs.
Remember... the programs you use every time your phone is on... like dialer skins, today screen themes, rintones, etc install to device memory! Other programs like games, mp3 songs, videos, ebooks, etc can go to the microsd card!!
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Sounds pretty simple. I have another question. This is going to sound pretty dumb I'm sure but I'll ask anyway. The programs I'm going to load...will they over write the programs already on the phone ? I understand there is internal memory and this phone seems to be just like a pc. And I know that when memory gets low or used then things tend to slow down and run bad. BTW the programs I'm going to install are Manila2D and a few others. Don't know much about them but a friend of mine had them put on his Mogul and I like the way it looks and runs compared to the "stock" setup.
Thanks again.
I have another question to ask. Is there a way to back up your contacts list ? If I understand it right.....a "hard reset" will wipe your contacts list along with everything else you have put on the phone and not the sd card. Right ?
