[Q]get rid of the chat-styled sms - Touch2 General

the default sms for all winmo phones are like chat style....is there a software to change back to the classic sms-by-sms style?

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\
Then Create a Key named OEM and add a DWORD value named SMSInboxThreadingDisabled , set it to 1(hex)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thats out of the Wiki and work fine for me

yup, worked for me too...thanks

can try to install HD Tweaks, it still does a lot of tweaks to our Mega incl disabling threaded messages

You can also try Advanced Configuration Tool... there is an option to change the sms view....

If Total Commander:
1: Go in to //Plugins. Its the first folder.
2: Go into registry>HKCU>Software>Microsoft>Inbox>Settings
3: If there's no OEM folder, then make one. If there's an OEM folder then next step.
4: Press +Add Value+.
5: Write SMSInboxThreadingDisable.
6: Select DWORD in check boxes (TYPE), Press OK.
7: In Values write 1 (Hex) and OK.
8: Close everything, reset the device. Done.
Personal experience. Though threaded gives a bit of advantage, but with this NO lag and proper simplicity. Enjoy.

The big all Tweaks topic

There are many tweaks around but If you have resetted your phone you must look @ too much topics.
So why we don't make One bit tweak topic..
with only
tweak name
tweak explained
and maybe a link to a discussion topic/site
and offcourse a download link( if available)
and make this topic sticky.. So after a reset you only have to visit that sticky topic on XDA
an idea?? come on admins you can do it!!
I would very much encourage users to use the WIKI instead... forum posts could be made sticky, but things in a forum *always* get lost.
wiki.xda-developers.com
Pick a topic, here's a suggested one 'in line' with some other wiki pages:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard_Tweaks
Those who prefer the forum - by all means... I'd ask those who know how to work the wiki to add tweaks as they'd come in, here, though
I vote for this thread to get stickied. I think more people check the forums than the wiki, me included. Here are some things I've found from random places. I have not tested them all. These are all things copied from elsewhere. I claim neither credit nor responsibility.
SPEED INCREASE
I've been goofing around with registry values in WM5 now that I have upgraded. I could be completely crazy, but it seems that hickups that I was having are now gone after I made these changes. Anyone else who has upgraded want to try these changes out and see if things are any better?
You're going to need a registry editor. Here is a link to a free editor PHM Registry Editor.
Here are the locations and the values that I set:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Cac heSize=0x1FA0(8192)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Ena bleCache=0x1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=0x1FA0(8192)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\Filters\DataCacheSize=0x1FA0(8192)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\Flags=0x28(40)
CLEARTYPE
One more hack from the guys here at hofo:

Change "OffOnRotation" to equal 0
AUTO INSTALL CAB FILE AND CUSTOM AUTO CONFIG
So new ways to customize the KJAM
So further to my discovery yesterday I have dug around and discovered the following
The AutoRun.exe contained within the \ExtendedRom\of your KJAM is hard coded, which means that if you place any file (.CAB) which you would want it to install and rename it..
Original file = I_want_this_file_to_auto_install.cab
To…
New File Name = Default_ I_want_this_file_to_auto_install.cab
By adding “Default_” to the beginning of the name it is also AUTO INSTALLED
BUT and it’s a BIG BUT only WM5.0 APPS will be installed as installing earlier apps makes the PDA ask a question “this was designed for an er..” and as you cant press any buttons it don’t get installed…
SO WHAT CAN WE DO…
Well did you know that if you go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/front_page.php and register and then go search for the JASJAR Extended Rom
You might well find a link in this thread… http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28629&s...ighlight=extendedrom
Now if you were to download it and look inside you would also find a different Autorun.exe which reads a config.txt file
Verey interesting you might think..
“What if I wanted to make my own Custom Auto config ?” is a question which you might well ask..
Well whilst we can not condone such things, in the interest of helping you understand how this different Autorun.exe functions, I’ll take you through an example, please do understand that it is against all the policies of this Board to entice you do download software from the internet and to install this on your own device.
If you however feel compelled to do this for yourself, please be aware that neither myself, PPCD or any of our sponsors can be held responsible in any way for any losses or damages incurred by you or any other persons resulting from information contained here in.
Lesson 1) The Autorun.exe
This file is an executable..but only on a PDA running wm5. It reads a file which is present in the \Extended_Rom\ called config.txt. This app understands certain commands such as
LOCK:Enabled ………………..which locks the Screen and Keys
LOCK: Disabled……………….. which Unlocks the Screen and Keys
CPY1:\Target\Target File.ext…..Which tells it that this file in this folder should be copied
CPY2:\Destination\Destination_File.ext…Which tells it where to copy the file to and what it should be called
CAB: \ Target \ Target_File_to_install.CAB…Tells it to install a cab file
RST: Reset………….Guess what ..Yep resets the PDA
All pretty basic stuff
Lesson 2) So what could I do …if I wanted to..
Little Johnny wants to create a Custom installation routine for his new PDA and did NOT want that nasty default autorun to install the antivirus files which would slooooooooow his new pet down.
a) He would like some CAB Files installed
b) Whilst he would like other to be simply copied so that he can install them later (He knows that if he just allows them to auto install instead that they will be put in to main memory, and he would like to have them on his SD Card instead)
c) He would like to put some Custome Ring Tones in to the \Windows\Ringers directory
d) He would like to put some wav files in to the \Windows directory so that he could use them for ALARMS and NOTIFICATIONS.
1) He creates a file in note pad called config.txt
2) Has he would not like the Device to be disturbed he first enters
a. LOCK:Enabled
3) The Files he would like to AUTO INSTALL are :-
a. Default_CAB-shortcut-CDL-08Sep05.CAB
b. Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab
c. Default_ie_view.sa.cab
4) Then he would have to enter :-
a. CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_CAB-shortcut-CDL-08Sep05.CAB
b. CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab
c. CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_ie_view.sa.cab
5) Now he wants to have some files simply copied, he desides on coping them to \My Documents\Business\ so that he can find them quickly and install them later. The files he wants to copy are:
a. Default_tcmdpocketarm.CAB (Total Commander Freeware found at http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm)
b. Default_Backgammon_PPC_IMAM001.CAB
c. Default_SkypeForPocketPCnonxScale.CAB
d. Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB
6) Thus he enters :-
a. CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Default_tcmdpocketarm.CAB
b. CPY2:\My Documents\Business\Default_tcmdpocketarm.CAB
c. CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Default_Backgammon_PPC_IMAM001.CAB
d. CPY2:\My Documents\Business\Default_Backgammon_PPC_IMAM001.CAB
e. CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Default_SkypeForPocketPCnonxScale.CAB
f. CPY2:\My Documents\Business\Default_SkypeForPocketPCnonxScale.CAB
g. CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB
h. CPY2:\My Documents\Business\Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB
7) No he wants to get those custom sounds and ringers installed, these being
a. MyNeatSMSMsg.WAV………...A cool neat SMS Sound ! (Can only be wav)
b. MyNeatNewAlarmSound.WAV..A cool neat ALARM Sound ! (Can only be wav)
c. MyReallyCoolRinger.WAV…….A cool neat RINGER Sound ! (Could be .MP3, .MID or .wav)
8) So he enters:-
a. CPY1:\Extended_ROM\MyNeatSMSMsg.WAV
b. CPY2:\Windows\ MyNeatSMSMsg.WAV
c. CPY1:\Extended_ROM\MyNeatNewAlarmSound.WAV
d. CPY2:\Windows\ MyNeatNewAlarmSound.WAV
e. CPY1:\Extended_ROM\MyReallyCoolRinger.WAV
f. CPY2:\Windows\Rings\ MyReallyCoolRinger.WAV
9) Now Johnny is nearly finish so he completes the new config.txt with the following lines
a. LOCK: Disabled
b. RST: Reset
10) His now finished config.txt looks like this.
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_CAB-shortcut-CDL-08Sep05.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Default_ie_view.sa.cab
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Default_tcmdpocketarm.CAB
CPY2:\My Documents\Business\Default_tcmdpocketarm.CAB
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Default_Backgammon_PPC_IMAM001.CAB
CPY2:\My Documents\Business\Default_Backgammon_PPC_IMAM001.CAB
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Default_SkypeForPocketPCnonxScale.CAB
CPY2:\My Documents\Business\Default_SkypeForPocketPCnonxScale.CAB
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB
CPY2:\My Documents\Business\Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\MyNeatSMSMsg.WAV
CPY2:\Windows\ MyNeatSMSMsg.WAV
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\MyNeatNewAlarmSound.WAV
CPY2:\Windows\ MyNeatNewAlarmSound.WAV
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\MyReallyCoolRinger.WAV
CPY2:\Windows\Rings\ MyReallyCoolRinger.WAV
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
Lesson 3) So where did he get the files and mor important what did he do with them.
To complete your education I would like to explain exactly how little Johnny got a hold of the files (Default_) mention in lesson 2) above.
1) He downloaded Total commander for PPC (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm) and installed it (Windows Installer Version) on both his PC and PDA after the install he made sure that he ActiveSynced and Ran the file on the PDA
2) He again downloaded the CAB version from the same site
3) He placed this in a Directory of his SD card called \GoAuto and created another folder called \AutoBackup, both in the root of the SD CARD
4) On the PDA he typed in the ENTER BOX at the top of the Total Commander screen exactly the Word “\Exteneded_Rom” making sure that the spelling and capitalization were correct
5) He was then presented with a display showing the contents of this otherwise hidden folder.
6) He quickly selected from the TC menu the word “Show”…this brought up a Dialogue with many options. He selected “Single window mode”, this brought up another dialog, here he selected “Virtual 2 window mode”
7) Now by selecting the “>” he had to file display windows
8) He Depressed the “>” which showed him the root of his device, here he selected “Storage card”, and then “\AutoBackup”, pressing the “<” now brought him back to the “hidden folder”
9) He he dragged his stylus across the screen, thus selecting all the files and after pressing the 2 icon at the bottom of the screen , he was asked where he would like to copy or move the files.
10) He made sure that the Diloge showed “\Storage Card\AutoBackup\*.*” and after depressing Move. All those nasty files were moved on to his SD card.
11) He reconnected his PDA to his PC, and via ActiveSync and “Explore ”, he was able to select his storage card.
12) He copied the contents of “Storage_Card\AutoBackup\” to his PC for safe keeping.
13) As this copy now contained the some files which he wanted , he copied the files in question on to his SD Card, placing them in the “\GoAuto” Folder.
14) After coping the remain files (wav, mid,…) which he wanted to auto install, he created a “Config.Txt’ as described in Lesson 2), which he also placed in to the folder.
15) KNOWING that the original “Autorun.exe” would not install the files as per this config.txt, he proceded to go search on xda-developers for the rom image, he then extracted the other ‘Autorun.exe” and placed this also in the folder \GoAuto
16) Back on his PDA he started “TC” again, and reselected the “\Extended_Rom\” and via the “Virtual 2 window mode” also the “\Storage Card\GoAuto\”
17) He then procedded to select all the files in the “\GoAuto” folder and copied them all across to the “\Extended_Rom\” folder.
18) He was now able to HARD RESET his device and watched as the PDA installed and copied the files as requested.
CAPS/ICON LOCK INDICATOR
Looking inside my \Windows\Startup folder on my Wizard, I found a shortcut to an application called CapNotify.exe. Upon inspecting the file in a hex editor, I found a registry key called "EnableIndicator" which was not found in the registry.
After creating the registry entry called EnableIndicator at \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and assigning the DWORD value of 1 to it , then soft-resetting my device, an indicator appeared next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen! Tapping the Shift key showed a "C" while tapping the Dot key showed a dot! Very cool!

The digital signature security that's enabled by default can be disabled by using the digitally-signed CAB file from Sprint PPC-6700's Extended ROM. Add a "Default_" prefix to the name and have it run first in the Wizard's Extended ROM, so that any CAB, CPF, or EXE file, signed or not, can be used after that CAB file has been installed. (beyondthetech)
Changing the value of "OffOnRotation" from 0 to 1 in registry location HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings, followed by a soft-reset, will give the ClearType feature in landscape (keyboard open) mode. ClearType must be enabled in portrait mode first. (mixmaven)
Double-clicking on the Shift key will toggle Caps Lock mode. Double-clicking on the Dot key will toggle Symbols mode. (sparkomatic)
Change the Comm button to OK/Close in the Buttons applet under Settings, to make it easier than tapping the OK button when in portrait (keyboard closed) mode. (sparkomatic)
Left-handed action of the Wizard can open the keyboard slightly enough to hit the OK and Windows buttons without it going into landscape mode. (nobackup)
Tapping the End key will minimize the current application and return to the Today screen (if you have a valid SIM card installed). (nobackup)
Use Orb on your desktop to stream multimedia files to the Wizard via its fast Wi-Fi or EDGE capabilities. (mmg)

(beyondthetech)
NEW! Create an Internet shortcut to any movie theatre that Fandango supports. Using the same method in tip #19, get the 5-letter code for the theater of your choice, and make a shortcut to http://www.fandango.com/TheaterPage.aspx?pf=1&tid=XXXXX and replace XXXXX with that 5-letter code. This will be a PDA/printer-friendly output of today's movie showtimes. (beyondthetech)
Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 can be installed in replacement of Cyberon's Voice Speed Dial software. Further cleanup to remove Voice Speed Dial in the registry is also available.(beyondthetech and beyondthetech)
Perform a full wipe of the device by going to Settings > System > Clear Storage. It is disputed that it may not be a full equivalent to a hard reset. (Dave Evans)
A hard reset can easily be performed by holding down the Comm and Voice buttons, and tapping the soft reset hole. While still holding down the two top buttons, the screen will go black and you will be prompted to hit Send to restore factory default settings. (nickp)

DISABLE MESSAGE SENT NOTIFICATION
for those who hates the "Message Sent" notification after sending an SMS, this is the steps to remove the bubble notification...this is the STEP by STEP method to do it in case some of you guys dont get it right...
1. First, you will need to download a Registry Editor to help you do it...
a good one will be the freeware PHM Registry Editor
or for those who got the Resco Explorer, you can use the Registry Editor that comes with it...
2. using the Registry Editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
3. Next, click on Inbox (make sure the Inbox is highlighted) and select Edit, New Key
4. Name the New Key as "Settings"
5. Click on "Settings" (make sure the Settings is highlighted) and select Edit, New String Value
6. On "Value name:", key in SMSNoSentMsg and in "Value data", key in 1
7. Soft reset your device and test it with one SMS, and you will notice that the SMS Sent bubble is being disabled
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS
Message Sent
You can change the message that is shown in the Sent Message Notification.
RELOCATE PIE DATA STORAGE
This hack will increase your available ROM memory and people have reported storage gains of over 9 mb. You will need to have a storage card with some free memory installed to utilize this hack. First open up internet explorer and navigate Menu>Tools>Options>Memory and press the delete files button to clear the cache then delete the cache and the history. Then open up file explorer from the programs folder in the start menu. Navigate to the Storage Card and make sure that you are in the base directory of the card. Then create an ie folder and within that folder create a cache folder, history, and Open up a registry entry program such as Resco Registry that comes with Resco Explorer 2005. Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache". You can change the default value "\Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files" to "\Storage_Card\ie\cache". Change the other values in the Shell Folders section of the registry to the folders you created and then soft reset. Be warned that you will create errors in ie if you do not have a storage card inserted with those directories on it while you are surfing from now on.
REMAP SOFTKEYS
Open up a registry entry program such as Resco Registry that comes with Resco Explorer 2005. Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2" By changing the default key you can change the text of the softkey and by changing Open key you can change the program that it opens. The right key cannot be changed by this method. "
Now the Second Key
you just add a new key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3"
and the default is the key
and and a new string value "Open" with the path and presto!!!!
ANY FOLDER RING TONES
1. Run Total commander
2. go to \\ (at the very top)
3. open \\\registry\HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring \Directory
4. Change the content of this file from
\Windows\Rings to \Storage Card\Rings\
Note: \Storage Card\Rings\ is the directory I created on my storage Card to store my personal Ring Tones.
To select a new ringtone, Start->Settings->Phone.
The Ring tone are now selected from \Storage Card\Rings\
and Best of all, your ring tones doesnt take up any valuable RAM Space.
EDGE ICON REG HACK
After reading Vishny' commment on one of the threads in xda-dev, per his suggestion, I added the key EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon dword value in HKLM\Drivers\BuilIn\RIL.
STOP ACTIVESYNC FROM TURNING ON AND TURN OFF ERROR REPORTING
Now, you need to stop Activesync from periodically starting on it's own. To do so open Activesync on your WM5 device and tap on Menu>Add Server Source. Add any info to create a fake server sync. After that is complete go to Menu>Schedule and change the two dropdowns to "Manual" and tap "ok" at the top right. You can now go to Menu>Options and delete the Exchange Server setting you just added. Now Activesync will not start when you cradle your device.
Error Reporting is real drain on the battery and on performance. It is simple to disable, just go to Start>Settings>System(tab) and tap the Error Reporting icon. Change the setting to "Disable error reporting".
CHANGE SPLASH SCREEN
1) Get the aWizard tool from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
2) Enable RAPI (otherwise next command will exit with a message saying itsutils.dll cannot be replaced, or smth like that)
You do that searching the "EnableRAPI.cab" on the forum and follow the instructions (you copy it to the phone and then install it on the phone)
For example here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=202299
3) MAKE SURE the phone is connected via ActiveSync
Get a DOS shell : start -> run -> "cmd"
move to the directory that contains the tools ("\lib")
(the next 3 steps are just to test the pdocread.exe and logoconvert.exe - i think)
otherwise skip to step 7
4) pdocread.exe -n 1 0x002d0000 153630 splash.bin
5) Use the logoconverter.exe -> see attachement
I got the cpp file, changed the resolution to 240x320 and recompiled it
logoconvert bin2bmp splash.bin splash.bmp
6) Get a image editor (I use "gimp") and see the splash.bmp -> it should be the image that it's displayed at boot time.
You can modify it as you like.
7) Get a image 240x320 with 24 bits depth bmp (I think) (it should be around 250K)
it can be the one obtained at steps 4,5 and 6
"logoconvert bmp2bin splash.bmp splash.bin"
9) "pdocwrite.exe -n 1 splash.bin 0x002d0000"
That's about it.
NOTE: I'm just an user of the above programs, I don't know exactly what they are supposed to do and what they really do. Anyway, I managed to changed the boot image and I want to thank all of the people that by their tools made it possible.
This cab file will enable the caps/icon lock indicator on all roms and the edge icon indicator on newer roms.
previous messages show how to do this exact thing through reg editing. this is for those who don't want to do it that way.
This cab will prevent cab files from being automatically deleted after they're run.
This unlocks the extended rom in wizard versions that have it locked
This one is very recent and to quote arnonrgo from a different thread.
It is basically a cab that holds a few registry changes
one to stop menu animation
one for (2 keys) to enable G (wireless. in versions that dont have it enabled)
one (3 keys) to set a (small 1K) cache
and one to enbale the keyboard indicator (the same as is done in a previously posted cab file)
I renamed the cab to make it easier to see what it does.
If you want to do the G hack through the registry instead of the cab. Wagnerb supplied the keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMask=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS: dot11SupportedRateMaskG=8
All values are decimal

Backup & Restore your Cemail.vol easily

Hi,
first af all I would like to say that i'm not a developer!I just build a little app
to facilitate our every day life.
Then I would like to say that i won't be responsible on any damage that little app could do.
So I made a little App to backup and restore your cemail.vol (containing your SMS or text messages) easily.
It's based on mortscript app (which is very very great).
Installations Steps:
-Unzip B&R on your Ppc (Internal Memory or Storage card As you want)
-Run "MortScript-4.0-PPC.cab" (install it in internal memory or storage card should work for both)
-And at least run "Back&Restore.mscr"
You'll be prompted if you want to backup or restore
and then you'll be prompted again if you want to restart your device or no.
As the backup or restore work at the starting of the device if you know what you are doing I suggest to reply yes, otherwise nothing will backuped or restored.
For those who are interested in this is the source of this little app:
Code:
errorlevel ("warn")
Choice( "SMS B&R","Restore or Backup","Backup","Restore" )
Case( 1 )
Startup = Regread ("hklm" , "System\Explorer\Shell Folders" , "Startup")
back = "XCopy \cemail.vol , ""\Storage Card"" , 1"
delb = "delete " & "(""" & Startup &"\backup.mscr"")"
delete (Startup &"\restore.mscr")
delete (Startup &"\backup.mscr")
WriteFile( Startup & "\backup.mscr" , back & "^CR^^LF^" & delb ,1 )
Case( 2 )
Startup = Regread ("hklm" , "System\Explorer\Shell Folders" , "Startup")
rest = "XCopy ""\Storage Card\cemail.vol"" , \ , 1"
delr = "delete " & "(""" & Startup &"\restore.mscr"")"
delete (Startup &"\backup.mscr")
delete (Startup &"\restore.mscr")
WriteFile( Startup & "\restore.mscr" , rest & "^CR^^LF^" & delr ,1 )
Case( 0 )
Message( "Cancel" )
Exit
EndChoice
Choice ("Reset", "Do you want to restart de device?","no","yes")
Case( 1 )
Message ("Be careful : Backup or Restore Cemail.vol only work if you soft reset your device")
Case( 2 )
reset
Case( 0)
Message ("Be careful : Backup or Restore Cemail.vol only work if you soft reset your device")
exit
EndChoice
Bye
Herc.
Thanks for this, been wanting to backup cemail.
I've tested it briefly on my HP RX1950, but nothing is created after restart. I've tried with a few different storage cards but no luck. Any ideas?
As you can see file creation refers to Startup(folder) Value in Registry.
So it can be 2 things
1-The startup folder is not in the same place as mine in the registry (but I doubt about that)
2-The Mapi services which use the file cemail.vol start before my script.
So to check that, launch the backup but don't restart the device and go look
into \windows\startup to see if there is a file called Backup.mscr, if yes open it with a notepad and send me the content of the file.
I'll try later to make a log script file to debug these kind of problems
Bye
Herc.
Well the startup folder is in the correct place in the registry, and backup.mscr is in the startup folder.
The contents is as follows;
XCopy \cemail.vol , "\Storage Card" , 1
delete ("\Windows\StartUp\backup.mscr")
Ok,
So could you:
-Tell me what device do you own and which rom your are using.
-In the registry in [HKLM/init] could you give me your launch values.
(ex: Launch10 Shell32.exe, Launch20 Service.exe etc...)

The device is a HP Ipaq RX1950, rom is the standard HP rom version 1.01 (english).
Launch values:
Launch10 shell.exe, Launch20 device.exe, Launch21 coldinit.exe, Launch30 gwes.exe, Launch35 wifioff.exe, Launch50 shell32.exe, Launch60 services.exe, Launch61 ciphase2.exe, Launch70 connmgr.exe, Launch80 srvtrust.exe
Thanks
i was looking for some way to perform this operations and i have to say that this thing work perfectly on my TyTN (hermes) with mobile 6. For i moment i thought that i could write something in CF, but probably it wouldn't work cause it will need the system fully uploaded.
nice work
I see another way to backup SMS.
There are many programs which do backup SMS, and at any time, and not just during reboot device. For example, smsorganizer (www.zedsoft.net). But this program not work in a mode such as command line.
If there was such program would not be to do a problem backup sms when it is necessary, either under the schedule, or on event. For example, to start the program at incoming sms by means of SKScheme or another.
And then questions with copying cemail.vol will disappear all.
I also used this kind tool to backup cemail.vol by celecmd, but this time.. when I try to backup cemail.vol now, it dosn't work, both this mortscript tool or that celecmd tool. It seems after reset, another system application lock this cemail.vol before backup tool start.
Does anyone have an idea?
I have resolved my problem, maby helpful to you:
1. set "Today", cancel items outlook-related;
2. delete poutlook link in \windows\startup.
I backed up cemail.vol manually through "Mobile Device" in XP, and now I'm trying to figure out how to copy the backed up file back onto the device after a hard reset, but I'm not having much luck. I created "aa.mscr" in my \Windows\Startup directory, but nothing I put in it works:
Code:
Rename ("\goodcemail.vol", "\cemail.vol", 1)
Code:
Rename "\goodcemail.vol", "\cemail.vol", TRUE
Code:
Delete "\cemail.vol"
Rename "\goodcemail.vol","\cemail.vol"
The files are unchanged after I soft reset.
What am I doing wrong?
According to this page:
In WM 5.0 you can not rename, delete and etc. '\cemail.vol'. It is placed in distinct storage.

So how does your code do it then?
Ooops. This thread says to place a shortcut in the Startup directory, not the script itself. I'll try again when I have a chance.

Nope. That doesn't do anything either. How do I restore cemail.vol?!
I removed everything from the Today screen and restarted, and the script worked! I think I could actually delete the file manually now, since it's not being used by the Messaging part of the Today screen.
So where do all the settings for Exchange Activesync and POP account info live? I want to be able to back these up and restore them after a reflash. Any Ideas?
OK, tried removing everything from today screen as someone stated, tried deleting the poutlook.lnk from stratup. I am on Raphael(Fuze) running my own cooked ROM. I would ike this to work so I could cook in a script to copy these files back on startup. Could prove very handy as I am flashing a lot of ROMs lately. Any help appreciated.
On a WM5 MotoQ I was having a hell of a time getting a backup of a clean cemail.vol file from a freshly flashed phone. Come to find out I had not unlocked its registry. From CeRegistry editor v0.0.4.4 I chose "unlock registry" from the tools menu then made the following edits
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1001 = 2
Change to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1005 = 16
Change to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128
Change to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
New Dword value "0000101b" = 1
What does restore do ? is it to delete off the old one and replace a new one ?
if it is , it doesnt help my wm6.1 asus p320 .
how to download this app.
it just displays a small picture when clicking the donwload link.

WM6 Pro modifying autocorrect.0409.txt

Customizing the autocorrection in WM6 has been done, but WM6Pro is a bit different. This is the "can't live w/out" feature for past BlackBerry owners which allows you to type something like "brb" in and email and have the system replace it with "I just stepped out, but will respond when i get back."!
Figgured out how to do this on WM6pro from the device itself. The easiest way is to use Total Commander (3rd party file explorer). WM6pro requires that the autotext.0409.txt file be saved in unicode. it also protects the file in 3 ways: it sets the ReadOnly bit; it sets the SystemFile bit; and it watches the file from boot to make sure you don't change/delete it, but it will allow you to rename it. After figguring this out, i came up with the following process to update it:
1) open Total Commander and navigate to and highlight the \Windows\autocorrect.0409.txt file
2) copy the file to the root folder
3) navigate Total Commander to the root folder and highlight the \autocorrect.0409.txt
4) in the properties of the file, turn the ReadOnly and System bits off
6) click the notepad icon at the bottom of Total Commander to open the file in notepad
7) make your changes to the file minding the required alphabetical ordering
8) save the file as a unicode text file with a slightly different name (autocorrect.0409new.txt)
9) copy or move the new file to the windows directory
10) rename the existing autocorrect.0409.txt file to autocorrect.0409orig.txt
11) rename the new autocorrect.0409new.txt to autocorrect0409.txt
12) reboot WinMobile6 Pro
13) if you want to clean up, you should now be able to remove the extra files we have created along the way.
items I added:
sm =
fr =
degs = [the degree symbol]
brb = I just stepped out, but will respond when i get back
ack = (sent from wireless device) I read your email and will respond as soon as I am able. Thanks!
keywords: ppc wm6 windows mobile autocorrect type ahead intellisense as you type keyboard shortcuts macro speed
very interesting, I'll give it a try !
thx for the tip !
1. Very useful and cool tweak, this will help me a lot! I am going to try and get it to work with dual languages and will report back, so for example I could type "CHbusy" and get "县在忙,一会儿给您回答“ to avoid having to change the SIP....great
2. THis will be a great prank, will wait until my bro leaves his phone unattended and go change things like "the=Nate, you are a jackass" it'll take him ages to figure it out!!

[Howto] Open Dialer on Slide-Open with SlideActions in TouchFlo/Manila2D only

How to make Phone Dialer pop up when using slider from TouchFlo/M2D home
I am a big fan of the SlideActions application here, but when you use a cooked ROM with TouchFlo2D / Manila2D the "Open Dialer when on homescreen" as Slide-Open-Action does not do due to a different process running in foreground.
The options discussed in the SlideAction thread are not really cool, they open the dialer application always - even if you're in writing a new mail just want to use the keypad to type text.
Not a clean solution, but a temporary workaround (until SlideActions will be updated?) will be using a tiny MortScript as helper:
Step 1:
Install MortScript on your phone and copy a new script (textfile with .mscr extension) on your phone containing these lines:
Code:
x = ActiveProcess()
If (x eq "Manila2D.exe")
Run( "\windows\vtkey.exe" )
EndIf
Step 2:
In SlideAction's "Advanced" tab, add MortScript.exe as custom action with the dropdown and type the full path and name of your newly created .mscr file in the Param field. Now in the Event dropdpwn select the On Open field and chose the Run radio. Finally change the On Close Event to Null.
Here we go: Now, everytime you open the slider, the script checks if Manila2D is in foreground, and if, opens the dialing application. When opening slider while writing an email or text message, nothing happens!
Enjoy!
MoritzN you are a genious!!! i had the same problem!!! now it's fixed and runs perfect!!! thank you for your help!!!

[Problem] Set icons in start menu

Hi,
I´ve got an issue that i can´t set an icon to task manager and messages in start menu/settings/System. See the pic below. I use a cab file to apply these icons.
i just make a pkg with my reg entries and pics i want to use at the end of my kitchen. open up your reg with reg editor and see if it looks like this...
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\cplmain.cpl,1]
"Rank"=dword:000002BC
"Icon"="[COLOR="Red"]\\[/COLOR]Windows[COLOR="Red"]\\[/COLOR]Start_Icon_Lock.png"
notice the \\, it must be that way in registry...a single "\" wont work. also you could try assigning rank, but i dont really think that is necessary for the pic to show.

Thanks for the tip. I made an OEM of my cab to make it easer. This is what reg i have for the task manager, but it dosnt work.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,30]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png"
EDIT: Btw, how is rank determined? Dont really understand what ""Rank"=dword:000002BC" means..
I'm a noobie so forgive me if I make any mistakes.
But... Try adding some "zzz"s before the package to make it run at the end of the build process. If it still doesn't work, search inside all files (most probably the .provxml files) in your kitchen folder for "Task Manager.lnk" and see if another file is assigning a different icon to it. I use EVK's built in search engine to do jobs like that.
I hope I helped
EDIT: About Rank, icons are ordered from highest to lowest rank values in the start menu. I think "000002BC" is a hex value for the normal integer value that the rank is set to.
EDIT2: WOW! Awesome icons! Did you make them?

Thanks for the tip. I have the folder to run last in customization. I understand thats its some sort of hex value or whatever, but i dont understand it so i can place the icons where i want them.
The icons are made by dlink ithink.
2BC = 700. The rankings go from 0-999, and most are higher, which is why that one appears on the low side. The easiest thing is to just arrange everything on the phone (drag and drop), then export the entire start menu registry key and just put that into your start menu EXT. I'm not sure exactly how the values vary left to right and top to down.
I heard somewhere that the built in start menu 'drag n drop' messes with the ranks? I'm probably wrong though
I believe the ranks go in this order.. 1 being highest, 8 being lowest. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I hope NRG doesn't mind me butchering his start menu with my awesome paint skills
Hey... i dont think you are patching and i dont think you are trsut sign the cab... or making the image PNG...
but if you are "cooking" you dont need the cab... just make an EXT PKG with the icons ins the "file" folder... and the REGS in "app.reg" file making the path to the image, if you are patching you must to set the image as "read only" simple slash and be sure that CPL is teh correct one... and for the New TEXTMesage be sure you are using the path to.. tmail.exe i couldnt give you my EXT PKG with the paths cause im not in my home right now

Thanks for the help + Que PPC. The PNG is ok as it works in start menu. Btw, i made a package, instead of an cab. Much simpler to edit. What is the correct CPL for task manager in start menu/setting/System?
I have no clue on CPL or how to determine posistion
Ok i have the stock image for Taskmanager in my startmenu in position #24
Hex = 35A4EBEC
DEC = 900000748
So it seems that in the strat menu you can rank the icons as you want... by this 100 to 900 valu but in settings and for CPL icons the thing is.. they are arranged authomatically by name
(look at the attached image)
and this is the reg for cpl 30
Just this string in: Start menu settings system screen[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,30]
String value named Icon
with this: \Windows\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png
BEsure there is the image in windows folder
so... in your EXT pkg it must be like this:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Task Manager.lnk]
"Rank"=dword:35A4EBEC
"Icon"="\Windows\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,30]
"Icon"="\Windows\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png"

Only need to learn hex editing to position the icons then
I´ve tried theese, but none of them works.

easyst way - works great in build 23112
hello,
1. hardcodec-items
the easyst way to change the icon, is to going in the sys folder to the directory
\SYS\23112\dpi_192\COMMON\Base_DPI_192\
you find all hardcoded items in this directory (e.g. start_icon_*.png)
give your new icons the same name in your ext directory (oem)
2. customize icons
only what you need to customize icon is the following reg-keys
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Task Manager.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Task Manager.png"
-> this key replace the "task manager.lnk" icon in the root of the startmenue
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Office\Notizen.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Office_Notizen.png"
-> this key replace the "notizen.lnk" (like notice in english) icon in the customize directory "order" in the startmenue
so when you need no ranking is the simplest and fastest wayy i can explain to you...

The thing is that i dont get the icon that is in SYS, i get the on in the exe. Would not matter if i change it.
Very true i can confirm that... the CPL images for icons in settings system cant be changed... maybe is due to another reg or .ico or other kind of file in oem

You should convert the rgu files to xml files.
XML always run after the RGU, So its better to use when making custom modification.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369457 (second post)
Th e cpl's are loaded in a provxml in the oem folder (don't remember which one off the top of my head). If it's messing with desired settings, rather than loading another provxml during first boot, and slowing down first boot even more, it's better to either edit or delete the oem provxml. Personally, I'd delete it and then put your start info in an app.reg in an EXT that runs near the end of the build.
Edit: the provxml with all of the cpl's is mxip_HtcApps_translation.provxml, and it's in oem-lang 0409. It's a complete waste to run this thing, imo. Just put it in an app.reg and you'll get a faster first boot.
Sorry but for change icon position in start menu, cant you do it just from start menu moving that icon and then go to the right reg key and export it?
This work for Kaiser dunno if Leo,Tp2 or Topaz has different way.
hi fellow chefs
