Hi, firstly, @OP, fantastic software, really impressive. Ive been recommending it for months.

Secondly, for people trying to cook it in to make it hard reset safe, i've just spent around 4 hours and a good dozen or so cooking cycles to get it right, so I thought id detail what i did, since I couldnt for the life of me find a step by step guide online.

I'm pretty sure I went about it the long way around, but heres what I did.

1 - downloaded remotetracker.cab

2 - I used CAB_Converter to convert the cab to an EXT package, and into that folder i dropped rtregcreator.

3 - run regcreator and set up how you want it.

4 - since we are making an EXT package, we only need the rt.dll file. Take the dll and move it somewhere. I then deleted the EXT package folder.

5 - Open remotetracker.cab in wincecab manager, added the rt.dll file, and in the shortcuts section created a link from startup to smslauncher.exe

6 - Create the key HKLM\Software\JV Software\Common with name "RT 0" and string value of 28 April 2010 (the day before the day my rom thinks it is whenever I hard reset)

7 - save the cab

8 - use CAB_Converter again to create the EXT package, cook your rom, and hey presto, cooked in and hard reset safe.

There is no link to config created in start menu, , if you want one, create one in the shortcuts section using wincecab manager.

You could probably do the same without having to create the EXT twice, by editing the app.reg and app.dat files, but I had already done it this way by the time I realised this, plus I now also have a cab with my settings built in too as backup if i forget to copy out the EXT package next time I change kitchens.

Default Password

What is the default password for config after first install? cant find it in the manual or FAQ.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DoctorT:
same here - I set my password and secret answer, but now I cannot access the the config anymore (wrong password) and when sending the secret answer from another phone it also says wrong password!!! :mad:

I am terribly angry - just spend 2 days setting up my Samsung Omnia from scratch and now I installed that **** which doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I STRONGLY ADVISE EVERYBODY NOT TO INSTALL THAT SOFTWARE - ON A LOT OF DEVICES IT DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK AND YOU WILL HAVE TO HARD RESET YOUR PHONE!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mistraller:
Delete HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\defpas, and password will be empty again. I had some issues too, now I use only numeric values as password, no problems anymore.

No hard reset required!

Hi Joubert, nice to see you again!

I just tryed the new version, but i had that old HD2 bug - the SMS is not recognized as a RT-SMS.

Greetings

Nice to hear you are still working on it,Joubert .. :)

What do you think..Will RT still be working on Windows Mobile 7 ?(the new windows phones 7 are coming soon)

This is the first application I want to install on my wm 7 new phone

P.S. Did you fully implemented that last command with call forwarding? Last time was not working properly...Have you found a way to remote trigger call forwarding to a "safe" number?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I don't think so.

Unfortunatelly MS killed Windows Mobile and made a new OS. And that new OS works with new politics and the same restrictions as IPhone does.

I can't access the hardware without certificates from MS. And I have to pay for it. I can't create a CAB installer and must create an account in MarketPlace. And I have to pay for it (US$ 99.00/year!). They can delete any software from MarketPlace just like Apple Store does. So, I have to pay and I don't know if I'll be able to keep my software in MarketPlace.

I don't know if it's public, but if you pay for an account in MarcketPlace, you can release unlimited payed software and only 5 freewares!

That's the new politics. The main problem is the sourcecode: WP7 is no longer compatible with WM! I got the new Visual Studio 2010 and tried to compile my sources. NOTHING works!

In last february (or march) MS presented the new OS with WP7 prototype. I had a client there and he spoke with a MS engineer. The information above came from that engineer. If someone know another information, let us know.

I knew about WP7 when I started to learn C# and Compact Framework programming, but MS never did it before: create a 'new version' incompatible with the previous one. So, I didn't think I could 'lose my time'.

Because of this I'm thinking to move to Android (IPhone never!). But I'm not sure yet. I'm waiting to see if MS will regain the lost market, because will be very hard to research everything again.

Hi,

I've:

1) hard-resetted my Omnia

2) installed correctly remotetracker.cab V0.4.3-5

3) turned off and turned on the phone

3) opened rtconfig

4) accepted the term of service

5) trying to hide the RT

6) the same error appears.

Sorry 4 this new.

Very sad to hear these bad news...Tell me J.,will you really be porting RT to Android? I resisted untill now to switch to Android, because of my many windows mobile applications,but if you say that these wm softwares of mine will not work anymore,then I will leave windows mobile for good.. Or buy a new windows phone 7 (nice hardware) and resoft it with windows mobile 6.5 ..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I'm not sure. I wrote RT using C# (a language from MS .NET) and that language does not exists outside MS environment. If I want to move to Android or any other platform, I must rewrite everything using Java or C and I don't know both.

If I decide to rewrite the code, I will start from zero and I also don't know how that new OS works. So, I need to research everything I found for WM. And believe me, I found LOTS of useful informations...

Because of this I'll only fix the RT bugs and probably stop writting new features.

All the best,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emariu:
Don't stop implementing new features,please... This RT is so usefull and important to a lot of people, that I prefer to stay on windows mobile 6.5 even with future devices and still use RT and some other software that is not supported anymore.

I do not find wm 7 with many improvements,but is all just nicer UI, just looks but not technical improvements..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I have customers who always need new features. Because of this I'll keep my researches in WM 6.x. If I found something interesting I'll add to RT. Otherwise I can't 'lose' my time just for fun. I'm really, really sorry, because I like RT and I like the friendship with all of you.

:( it's very sad for me too.

Hi leobester.

Please download this beta: http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/RemoteTracker.CAB

Give it a try and let me know if it worked or not.

But, the problem is: RT can't delete files. Are you using any custom rom with RT cooked?

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leobester:
Hi,

a part of problem it's my fault.

I've just done a very hard format (with code) and every configuration is lost.

Now I've installed -6 version, restart mobile, accept term.of.use

when I try to hide the prg (inside the option menu), I've no more error but

the 4 colored rounding balls appear and nothing more...

after 30minutes I always have the same animation... and nothing happens.

Ps. I have a (not mine) cooked rom without RT.

(but I'd like to cook RT in rom at the end of the story)

Many tnx

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angusc:
Joubert,

I have installed the latest version of RT 0.4.3.6 and everything seems to be working, however I have not yet chosen to Hide the program until final testing. I have an HTC Touch Diamond 2. I have one question and one observation to give and ask:

1) Is there anyway that we can arrange RT to reinstall and use the rt.dll set up file on any Hard Reset? I think that the Unhidden version uses the rt.dll on the storage card....am I correct and if so does this file still be used after Hiding the application or is the rt.dll moved to a secret location on the device? i'm not a cook but a frequent flasher and if you know of a way that the ROM Image file can be opened and RT copied inside then please advise.

2) If you set up the Emergency E-mail contact address but there is no GPRS or other data connection then I see a weakness in so much that the out going mail is held in the outbox and is visible to your hostage takers should they look. Whereas the sms messages seem to be sent blind and there is no trace of them on the device sms folders. Is it possible to hide the e-mail alerts from the outbox and the sent folder so that you do not give the hostage takers your emergency contact e-mail address and also show them that your phone is trying to send out messages?

I'm not sure what happens if there is no network cell coverage and if the sms wil lbe held in the outbox and also be visible to anyone to see? these are issues as in remote areas the network provider signal may come and go.

I think these are both important issues. This is a great program and i will be supporting your project.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leobester:
I've checked,

the file is completed. I've done a simple copy-paste.

the "01/01/2008 14:25:17 - SaveConfiguration: after save." is the last line.

I can try to flash another rom to verify the hide function.

Soon as possible I'll say you the results.

Leo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leobester:
Ok,

with this rom, it works:

[WM 6.5.5] [Build 23563] Lightspeed XPR

with this rom, it doesn't work:

W.M. 6.5.x EVO Monster Extreme V2

but I believe many other roms have the same problem...

I don't understand why...

I'm interested of this too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
RT will use the file on storage card everytime you Config or reinstall RT. If you hardreset your device and reinstall RT or if you have it on your custom ROM, after the fisrt boot that file will be used to reconfigure the software automatically. There is another copy of rt.dll file in main memory to be used if someone format to SD card.

It's something I never tested. Change the sim card to an invalid one. I'll do.

You gave me an idea... Before send the SMS, test the line. Before send e-mail, test the data line. I'll create that tests before next version.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I suspect the problem is in permissions to write files in some folders.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leobester:
I believe too.

Suggestions?

Can you tell me which files do you try to write or to move and into which folders?

(so I can check the permissions)

Tnx

Leo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
The files are renamed to a random name before hide de application and copied to a system folder.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angusc:
I tested the SMS message by turning off my Phone service (thus simulating no network coverage) and then activated 'TopSecret' after some time i checked the SMS outbox and all other folders of the SMS and could not see any message waiting to be sent. So I can only guess that either the SMS message is not generated until there is a Network Service or that the message created withing RT itself and therefore not visible on the WinMo SMS system. Either way this is GOOD! so no chance for the Kidnapper to see anything is unusual. For now I would recomment anyone set up RT to NOT use the E-mail option so that incase there is no GPRS or WIFI connection their Emergency contact e-mail is not kept in the Outbox waiting for anyone to see it and read it.

One more suggestion / request. Please can you make two passwords that the user has to set. One will be for accessing the full range of Commands (like administrator rights) for the the RT# commands and another for basic RT# commands. My thinking here is....you set up RT to safe gaurd your phone for being stolen and you want ful laccess to all RT# commands. But if you have Kidnap situation then in your Emergency message you give the syntax of the sms to be sent also including the Basic Commands password. this way the inexperienced person sending the rt# commands will not be able to wipe your device or memory card etc. Basic commands should be all the ones for GPS, Tracking and dial history, track log etc.

Any advise on how the 'average Joe' like me can "cook" this in to their IMG files before flashing? thus protect against Hard Reset?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spiogent:
TopSecret

Hello, thank you for this great program and all your time and support!

I have a question to the TopSecret-Function. When i use it, the receiving telefon gets only a SMS with some empty lines followed by my Device-Name.

I know, i can change the Text of the Emergency-Message, but i did it and got only this Text followed by my Device-Name again.

In your Manual i have read, that there should be some automaticaly text (coordinates). But there is nothing.

When i send a SMS to my device with the "gp"-command, i get the coordinates, but not with the TopSecret-button.

When i check my command log, i see the right entries (21.10.10 16:33 gp).

Is there any possibility, to change this predifined part of this message for myself? Or can i insert commands (like gp or cellid) into the emergency-message?

Many Greetings

Hardy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Please take a look if you erased the default text in Menu/Emergency Message option by mistake.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spiogent:
Yes, this default-Text was empty (but just from the beginning).

Should there be text by default? Maybe it's gone away in the current version?

Could you post the content here, please? Then i could type it in.

Joubert,

A couple of things.....I stopped setting up my E-mail address in the options section because I thought that would prevent any unsent e-mails from being stuck in the "Outbox" if there was no Cellular or wifi netwroks as per my earlier post. however when testing the latest version I now noticed that RT in "SECRET" mode does not seem to send out SMS with coordinates and the emergency message by SMS.......is this the case and by design ? I reverted back to the previous version but still the same. It appears that in SECRET mode RT only sends out information via E-mail.....can you advise if it is possible to have SECRET mode send out via sms or / and e-mail?

EDIT: After further testing today, it appears that the occassional sms is being sent out when in the SECRET mode but it is not very regular and sure to send the sms. E-mail notification is taking place every 10 Minutes as per my frequency setting in the Options. SMS = only about 1 or 2 messages were sent out over a 4-5 hours test period today.

Please can you and others Check the SMS sending function in SECRET mode to see if it is stable, as my test seem to indicate that only the occassional sms is being sent. Ofcourse this could be due to my ROM version.....as below signature.
