how to cook a rom?

Hi, i have a HTC P4350 and there is not a lot of storage memory even if i install my programs on a sd card. My goal would be to learn how i can get rid of the programs i dont like that comes by default like IE or WinMedia player, replace messenger for a fixed one that work properly and if i can even add all my programs that i use to install all at the same time it would be even better. I want to save some place by doing that. I dont need IE if i have Opera. Stuff like that. Can someone out there give me some advice or even tell me i'm a douche bag that dont know nothing and dont deserve to have a intelligent advice?

[dev] "fake call" freeware [coding]

Attention:
The Release is Here
I do alot of skinning but finally decided to jump in and try and actually create my own program, and i need a little help
Some of you may be familiar with trinket softwares "fake call." If not you can do a quick read up with this link.....
http://www.trinketsoftware.com/FakeCall/
I am in the middle of developing something similar but a freeware version (if you didn't know the software isn't freeware any longer) I had put a very basic but working program together in basic4ppc, i then found out i had to buy the software to compile the program. Since i already own visual studio 2008 i decided i would go ahead and try to rewrite my program in vs.
I have completed my design, but i need help with the code....
i need a help with-
"sound" - i obviously need to be able to play sound, i have looked in ms help in vs and they provide some keywords but i am getting errors when i debug.....
-how to load images from an xml file- (in need code for the call)
These will all get me rolling and allow me to release a beta......
I'm getting closer and closer
Because everyone has a different dialer or "incoming call screen," i have decided the best way to go about your fake call is to allow people to select a screen shot and a sound of their choice, creating a very customized realistic experience for every phone (as it would look just like the dialer on your phone) without having to input an obsessive amount of information. (caller name, picture, ect..)
thanks for your help in advanced
THANKS TO-
MRABIE
Attention:
The Release is Here

Wow, this is great. Ya, since fake call is no longer free this is a very amazing idea. I know a lot of people here will help you. We just have to wait. =)

Great idea, I downloaded that app a while ago when it was posted and was rather disappointed to find out it was fake freeware. A couple of suggestions, the aforementioned app would use the default ringer. The suggestion seems pretty simple from a logistics point of view but may be more difficult to program than I would imagine, when selecting a person with a ringer other than default associated use that one. Maybe have a call timer that will stay up and count until the end button is tapped. Hope this helps.

I didn't realize that the other software had gone commercial. Thanks for stepping up!!

bump............

What programming language are you using, considering Visual Studio supports several.
In vb.net your Wait method could be replaced by Sleep(milliseconds). Documentation. I am not sure, however, it this method is included in the compact framework, assuming that's the one you are using. Hope this helps somehow.
Full .Net documentation can be found here.

I am using .net but may consider rewriting again later after getting a release to rid the program of dependacy on the .net framework.
I Have updated the list, as i have gotten some stuff already figured out thanks to different people on the forums, THANK YOU
If you guys can help me out with this other stuff it would be greatly appreciated

Whoa!
Trinket Software is practically giving away their apps!

thanks for posting.

just as a reference, there's something called DOWNCALL which is free and simple.
edit: my bad, this calls someone at a scheduled time.. doesn't fake a call.

this is nice of trinket but will only last until the 24, and is really only supposed to be for our webpage.
UPDATE:
i'm working on xml now
still need help with sound

did this die out or is it still in development?

WinMo Security Management

Hi there!
I might have missed any other threads discussing the following but unfortunately I couldn't find a related topic by searching for the term security. Actually, the search function didn't return anything when entering the string "security". Anyways, let's get started:
A friend of mine recently got a HTC Legend and told me a very intersting story. When installing a simple battery app, the installer asked him to gain permission to access his contact list, his gps coordinates and many other things. This made me currious in terms of: is there any way in WinMo enabling the same permission check before installing an application?
Regards,
Zoimt

Nope, I don't think so.
You may enable the security policy that will ask you every time you run a new cab or file, but still it won't show you what "connections", "resources" or "devices" does the app use.

That is weak, very weak and disappointing... I wouldn't care at all if I hadn't got mobile internet just recently. This actually is a no-go. I gotta get rid of this windows crap this instant. But on the other hand, this just sounds typically windows to me...
There isn't any piece of software that can do such things like monitoring which service accesses what resources? I better have a closer look at the WinMo api, smells like money. I just need people to get as scared as I'm right now...
::Edit::
Jeees, I just saw that I posted this in the wrong forum. I want to excuse for that, must have missclicked, wanted this to appear in the Software forum. Please forgive me peeps. Have a nice!

Try Spb Wireless monitor, also WMLongLife has some monitoring features.
I use Dialup Enabler/Disabler to disable my 3G connection when I don't need it so I do not pay at all.

No problem for me, I'm not a mod to judge this

Well the Android security system is little more enhanced here. but at the end of day it there's no mechanism to give you 100% security.
Sure you can refuse to install a wallpaper app that asks for your location permissions. but if you install some location aware app then there's no guarantee that it doesn't collect your private data and upload it on some websites....

How Do I Remove Programs from HD2?

how do i get rid of programs from hd2 and all traces of it from the registry? i want to remove programs i dont use or like. how do i that? and how do i get rid of traces of them from the registry?

Settings/applications/choose application, then uninstall.

Assuming you are using Windows mobile, go to Settings > Remove Applications.
Choose the App and Click Remove. This is the default uninstallation method.

again, thats not the correct method.
does anyone here really know how to remove programs? I read somewhere that you go to start > file explorer > windows > start menu and remove programs you dont like. but does this method remove the program itself or the shortcut? again, i need to remove the program, its shortcut, and any traces of it from the registry.
Does SKTools do the job?

troll? lol good one mate, people have tried to help you but you have said to each and every reply that they are wrong, yes or no? if you are talking about removing preinstalled apps that are part of the rom then you need to explain more clearly as to remove applications you have personally installed is the method that the 2 posters abover have given
if 3 people are telling you the same info then maybe its your way of thinking and your attitude is the troll like one here mate, people are trying to help you out
and you have no fear i have no intention of trying to help you out in future

Blimey, and I thought I was special, being banned from his threads, seems anyone can join the "stop attacking me you're a troll" club.

I think you are talking about removing aps that are preinstalled in a ROM. If this is the case then yes the way that has been posted will not work. There is a thread on here somewhere about hoe to remove preinstalled apps but I can not remember exactly where it is. Do a searh here in HD2 General forum, in the HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A and general forum, and in the HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development forum. You might have to keep changing your search terms also use advance search and try jist searching thread titles and not posts to see if you have more luck if searching post keep coming up empty.

OP, you should edit your first post here to clarify what you are trying to do. It seems like several members were trying to help you and you haven't been very polite with your responses. If the replies get out of hand this thread will be closed.

Just to let you know koolxx senior member noellenchris is a mod so adhier his warnning.

newbie or not doesnt mean you have to give the type of responses you have, ive noticed your other posts seem to be very confrontational aswell, but if 3 people are giving the same answers then you either havent asked correctly or assume they are incorrect
i have asked if it is the preinstalled rom stuff but you have, again, ignored to answer that and go off on a tangent about being a troll, how can we be trolls? or maybe you need to look up the definition of a troll

hey t-mac, how are you? yeah i'm trying to remove preinstalled apps from the rom. but i also want to make sure that the shortcuts are also deleted and any traces of the apps removed from the registry.
i appreciate your response. and i'll search for that. thanks man.

its not that... i just noticed many trolls on my past threads and some people dont take others seriously. thats all. at times, i have to give responses like the ones i've given as defense against people who i perceive as trolls. its a defense mechanism i got. its helped me in life.
i didnt see your post about uninstalling preinstalled apps. i just want to know if i can remove both the shortcuts and traces in the registry. if so, how? i read somewhere that ppl have removed preinstalled apps, but their shortcuts remained on the phone.

Settings----->applications

Adding intro.mp4 into apk

Like the title says how can I put a video into apk and let it play after someone opened the app

No one helps me ? I thought this is a forum

It is a forum. What you are asking for though isn't java help, its smali help so you're asking in the wrong forum. I would recommend doing some serious research into the decompilation process of apks. Additionally to me this looks like you are trying to make a spam version of a normal app (won't ever work btw because of the apk signing process) so its not really any wonder why no one has offered any help.

I dont want to make a spam version its for private use
I saw modded apks which have toast frame messages and even a splash screen so I tought it would be possible to add a video too

It is, its just a lot of work and I doubt anyone in this forum would be bothered enough to do it in smali, besides the developers that actually know smali properly enough to do this are very few and far between.

Can you move the thread to proper forum ?
And btw maybe its possible to just make a splash screen but use an animated gif that would be awsome
