program/application icons in windows mobile 6.5 - Dash 3G, Snap General

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.

need help urgently... weird symbols popping up after ROM upg

hi guys
I am using the O2 Exec and just upgraded to Qtek's latest WWE ROM. However I noticed that after upgrading, that some programmes display weird symbols instead of normal text. These programmes include:
- Opera browser
- Today Time (a today plugin telling the time, written by a member here)
Is there any way to get rid of these symbols?
ok found the solution
basically its a problem on Opera side. All you need to do is to copy a system font (i chose Arial) from your desktop PC to the windows folder of your PPC.
Note: It's the windows folder and not the windows/font folder.
That should do the trick and you can now use one of the best browsers on one of the best PPCs.
Hope that helps
Worked for me. Thanks.
I am grateful for the tip .... it solved me a lot of hassle

Extend desktop to PPC

Is there a free bit of software that will allow me to use the ppc as an extended desktop.
I have played with side window, but would rather not pay for it as i don't think I will use it enough lol
RDC is another option
Would that extend the desktop (use the ppc as a monitor)?
yes..its a short form for REMOTE DESKTOP SHARING..just as u do in wiindows..btw which device do u have and which OS ?
I am on windows XP with an htc touch running wm6

With MyMobile you can do that!
You find it here
Not quite what i need, i use that to control my ppc, what I want is to actually use my ppc as a second monitor, but thanks NatroXz
if u have WM6..remote Desktop sharing is already their..just configure it to connect it to ur computer
ok, so that is letting me remote control my pc, how do i get it to act as a monitor instead? thanks so far!!
sorry a bit off subject
basically my mouse has died on me and i was wondering wheather there is a app to turn my ppc into a touch pad which would connect via activsync and control my pointer on my desktop pc ?????
thanks
yep, look up ppc tablet (not free mind)

Check out http://www.innobec.com/en/products.php for what I am looking for. It is good, but I want to find a free way of doing it, as it is quite handy having somthing like notepad open in the ppc whilst i work in the main screen
thanks for the reply i downloaded to software you recommended but it did not install on my x51v .
i ran the cab file and went through the set up ............it said it is installed but could not find it anywhere on the ppc looked in programs and file explorer ....nothing!
i ve got a axim x51v with a cooked a03 rom
thanks for your help
PRE
os x
I was just looking for a program like SideWindow for OS X - I can't find anything. Does anyone know of something that will let me use my WM6 device as an external monitor under OS X?
-GB
So i´ve tried sidewindow.. @ my ppc (htc p-3401 wm5) and the ppc screen stay a little bit white, it lose the phone signal(what?! conflict ?) and nothing works..
tehre´s any equivalent software? or anyone knows how to fix the problem with sidewindow?

Ameo sync.ico - anyone?

Hi,
I would like to put the sync.ico file back onto my Ameo that is currently running AP3.0 (love it...). Since the ROM was build with the X7500 sync.ico file, this is what shows up on my Mobile Device Center... (ie black case vs. the silver Ameo one)
Does anyone have the Ameo with a T-Mobile ROM and can send me the sync.ico file that resides in the devices Windows directory??? I'd hate to reflash the decive back and forth just for that icon
Thanks!!!
Wow... is there really NO ONE with the T-Mobile ROM anymore - or are you all just mesmorized by the AP4 thread?
It wont change anyway - once it has sync'd with that icon it wont change back even if you put the sync.ico from an Ameo on the machine! I've tried!
Really? I thought one just had to remove the connection on the PC and re-establish (after copying the .ico file into the Windows directory on the Ameo). Apparently this is where the Mobile Device Manager gets the picture from the first time a connection to a 'new' device is done...
might be wrong though as I haven't tried it myself...
ooh - might work... you'd need resco explorer i think to change the ico file on the Ameo and i know file manager moans about it.

Getting Windows Live Messenger to work!

Hi there,
I was trying pretty hard to get Windows Live Messenger to work on my MDA Compact IV (SwiftBL ROM) and I've finally done it!
This is what I did:
- Install Windows Live NoIM 0409.cab
- Soft reset
- Install Windows Live 10.6.39.1300.cab (with messenger)
- Soft reset
Other versions I've tried had problems like Messenger not loading up (executing it does nothing at all) or cannot tap to sign in to windows live, cannot tap to sign in to messenger, laggy/slow execution of windows live, etc.
Hope this helps someone!
Sir,
This is the solution for me! I've been trying to install Windows Live Messenger for weeks now, and this one finally worked on my MDA Vario IV. Thank you!
awesome! thanks for the fix, used it on my Axim X50V wm 6.1
Thanks.... it works on my Diamond!
Doesnt the Diamond already come with Windows live

thank...it work on my t-mobile mda compact 4
Thanks, working on my diamond.
good job!!thanks a lot!
I just reinstaled the messenger cab and it worked again, phew
worked perfect! thanks!
Confirmed this works for a Dutch T-Mobile MDA Vario IV. (Touch Pro)
I just ran all the programs you (topicstarter) described and it works like a charm. Didn't try without installing the NoIM package first.
Thanks for the help.
I'm going to try this on my girlfriends MDA Compact IV (Touch Diamond) too, but judging from the comments from other users, it will probably work.
I had been running a LIVE Messenger cab from XDA on my Vario III, but it refused to run on my girlfriends Compact IV. At some point I gave up looking for a solution... Until I got my Vario IV
Used fring for a while, but it crashes for no reason and it appears (from their forums) that Fring stores all your IM passwords in a central database... Not something I really like.
lol no offense to the OP, but that method is pretty dumb. not only does it take a while to do, but it also downgrades you back to the older version of 10.6.39.1300
....check out the screenshot attachment in this post at the bottom. *gasp!* version 10.6.42.1900 with Messenger listed as an Installed Component.
All you need to do folks is re-add the registry keys that the NoIM installation removes for Messenger, and then WLMMessenger.exe executes and logs in just fine.
Attached in this post is a registry file in RestoreWLMMessenger.zip. You can use your favorite registry editing program to import it, or, my preferred method: use CeRegEditor (http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl). A very handy freeware PC program that lets you edit your device's registry once connected. Click the very first button in the toolbar to establish a connection after you plugged in your device, and then press CTRL+I to import the registry file.
...And you're done! No reset required.
To restore your Messenger icon in your Programs window, (because the NoIM installation also removes that!!!!), copy the Messenger.lnk file (also in the RestoreWLMMessenger.zip file) to your \Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder on your device.
I thought of making a .CAB to do all this for you but it would add a redundant entry to your Remove Programs list. It's better without the clutter
On the other hand a modified .CAB of the NoIM installation with its _setup.xml modified to include the missing registry keys would work as well, (though other files in the .CAB would also need to be altered).
For T-Mobile users: T-Mobile has come with a Windows Live for Windows devices. You can download it from their site.

Register Windows Logo button with another program???

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
