bypass software checking?

anybody know how to full installation into thinking that its installing the device with pocketpc 2002? i'm running 2003 and most of the software refuses to install via setup and pocket plus refuses to install even by copying the .cab file. any ideas what string to change in the registry?
thanks
alex

Pocket Plus is known to be so far incompatible with Mobile Windows 2003 for Pocket PC (aka PPC2003). Core OS differences in the Today plugin spec seem to be preventing it from running.
Watch for an update soon by the great spb developers (no, I don't have any affiliation with them other than the email I got when I asked the same thing).

thanks. i don't really care for today plug in as i want the close button.

You may want to try Gigatask, www.gigatask.com, from the makers of
GigaBar in the meantime
Or if you'd like a cascading start menu with task closer to boot, try
SmallMenu Plus from www.tillanosoft.com.
I use both on the opposite corners of my menubar, and each
complements the other wonderfully.
Oh, and by the way, I've sent you a pm.

SafeMode: Which programs offer it & are WM5 compatible?

I require my VARIO to have the option to boot in SafeMode. So far I've done this with Spb Pocket Plus - but since it is such a memory hog I want to get rid of it.
So far I only found two tools that offer SafeMode:
Spb Pocket Plus ( which I want to get rid of )
mCubeSafeMode or SafeMode 1.02 ( not WM5 compatible, installed fine but did not work for me )
So what other choices do I have? What other ( hopefully tiny tool ) will let me enter safemode at boot time?
Help is appreciated. Best regards.

Slightly off topic, but do all of these programs provide the same form of "safe mode"? And if so, what does that consist of? Safe Mode is not an OS feature, so I'm curious what cross over there is.
V

Sometimes programs are unable to be un-installed because some parts are loaded, or maybe a newly installed program makes trouble.
So you simply enter SafeMode and are then able to un-install these "troublemakers". Since I try out alot of stuff I don't want to miss this great feature.

I'm not sure, but what I've noticed from Spb's safemode, it disables added today screen items and startup processes. There may be more that it does too.

Yep, thats what it does. So any chances that another program will do this?

There's a buzzdev thread about this. Someone posted a file in the last post. I didn't try it out because I have that feature with pocket plus, but you may want to try it.

If you use memmaid and look at services these 'programs' are moved to the top of the service order list, (therefore they are the first things the OS runs)... they basically have a small gui that says "you want to run safe mode" and if you say yes... they stop all the other services from starting, stop STARTUP items from running, and don't let any of the dlls load for today plugins.
The problem with mCubeSafeMode on WM5 is that services have to be certified signed to run in WM5, so even though it installs, its not allowed to run at boot time. I would have thought though that the un-certified builds on buzz/xda-dev would get around that?
I have a Jam now, no WM5 for me

Yep mCubeSafeMode would be great if it would only work with WM5 - but so far only Pocket Plus is able to do a SafeBoot on WM5 that I am aware of. I hoped I only missed another tool, but sad to say it seems to the only working version for WM5

SPB Pocket Plus
pocket plus has the option of booting in safe mode also

I know! Thats what I said in my first posting - but I want to get RID OF POCKET PLUS - that is the whole reason for this thread!

DreamBoxer: Are you running a certification-free WM5 ROM though? I actually talked to the mCubeSafe author about this, and the belief is services might actually need a Microsoft certificate, but he wasn't sure.... if it doesn't work with a cert-free ROM then I guess he was correct...
I had the same problem when I had a WM5 device I despirately wanted to NOT run SPB (too much bloat) but ultimately its the only one that had it...
You could install SPB and hunt around with memmaid and the registry to try and figure out how to just set the services only and remove everything else. You would have to install the service program, (maybe using memmaid) and move it up the service list to be first... in theory it should be do-able...

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

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

Does Kaspersky Mobile Security work on the HD2

Hey All,
Just the quick question in the title, does Kaspersky Mobile Security work on the HD2? Anyone have any problems with it?
Thanks

yes it does.
only warning is remember the code you put in when you're prompted at install.

Thanks rp
Yeah, I saw that post, but thanks for the warning

and if you bank with Barclays and register to bank online you get it for free

Hello,
KMS is not compatible with Navigon MobileNavigator 7.
Poum's.

Made HD2 slooow.
Made my HD2 quite slooow.
Had to hard reset and reinstall backup.
Conclusion: Do a full backup before installing.

yes, it works but i don't tkink that is a good option. also i've tested it and i had problems unninstalling it, it blocked my in/out sms and i had to hardreset it to solve the problem.
normaly you just need the computer antivirus because he check's the CAB files that you will install in the ppc.

I have downloaded the Kaspersky Mobile Security.cab file from the Kaspersky website, which I obtained from the Barclays offer. But when I try and install it just takes me to the today settings screen and nothing happens.
Anyone else have this happen? What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks

I tried it, and uninstalled it.
I won't use anything other than Kaspersky on my PC and laptops.
I tried KMS for a month. It noticeably slowed my HD2 down, and didn't find any adverse activity... I decided I didn't need it.

demo software?

Hey guys,
My boss just got a DroidX, and it is slightly different than my SGS. I want to know if there is a software version of the phone, similar to how the windows mobile SDK allowed you to run an instance of the OS on your computer screen.
I want to be able to control my own version of the phone, or see each screen at least, so i can tell him what to do and he doesn't go back to the idiotPhone.
can i do this with a file from the android sdk?
