@integrate01: It makes a world of difference.

Please see the post from 02:49 PM re icons. Everything after the ? can be ignored.

For more info on the icon lnk format, please search for my name and the word "completeness".

However, that does pose a new problem.

VJBrisk won't recognise a lnk of the format

0#:RPMSMS

as it is not a "standard" lnk, ie

#Number:"blah.exe" Command line

I'm trying to download the Resco app now. If you can find it, find the real .exe file RPMSMS points to and make a shortcut to that. You should be able to find it in the registry, or My Storage\Program Files\Resco Contact Manager\

I'll get back to you shortly.

[update]

Looking at Resco, go into the start menu and look at the shortcuts that are in there.

It appears that the SMS Inbox is

\[path to resco]\"RPhoneman.exe" -sms

Try that if that's what you're after.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
something like

21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,17

does not work. What should I do?

Thanks

EDIT: NVM figured it out...for anyone who is interested

21#"ctlpnl" cplmain.cpl,17
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] integrate01:
Oh man...can't believe I didn't think about checking the shortcuts under the start menu.

It works! Vijay, thanks a ton for your help and time. Your program's found a perfect little niche :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w64bit:
Can you please update the exe icon.

On black backgroung doesn't look good.

Thank you.

Quinn
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] papo:
uh, I wrote the same thing :) but your works better.. Then I find out that mortscript supports argv/argc and exe starter, so I can actually use that and play with arguments or send scripts out like for replacing htc album with resco, it won't go to camera pictures folder, so you can have a script to press down and enter

Hallo

I want use VJBrisk (ver 0.41) for run addrbook.lnk in format SECContact.exe and i did:

1. Change name addrbook.lnk to SECContactLNK.lnk

2. Change name VJBrisk.exe to SECContact.exe

3. Copied both files to Windows

and after run new SECContact.exe (old VJBrisk.exe) i have info in screen.

What's going on ?

Any ideas ?

BTW Device is Samsung GT-B7610 Omnia Pro and WM 6.5 build 21889.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Budniu: if you want to, email me the files and I'll look at them: vj At vijay555.com

But I suggest you look at addrbook.lnk and see what program it launches (eg "An_App.exe")

Then make a shortcut to "An_App.exe", and rename that SECContactLNK.lnk.

And then try and launch SECContact.exe.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Budniu:
THX for reply.

This problem is more complex. File addrbook.lnk launch to MS Contact. Shortcut path is not to *.exe file but system file (*.dll):

21#:MSCONTACTS?outres.dll,-1000

I want use this shortcut by tap SECContact.exe file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
How are you launching SECContact.exe? eg from start menu, or a launcher etc?

Send me the file and I'll try to test it from my end.

Are you using HTC Sense etc?

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Budniu:
Listen, the stroy looks like this.

I cooked ROM for my Samsung Omnia Pro. In stock ROM, app to Contact is name SECContact.exe (app from Samsung). I removed this app from ROM. I want stay in ROM Samsung Today plugin (it is functional) but this plugin have change reg key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

(edit right softkey) to launch SECConatct.exe and this reg is can not change by user.

To solve this problem would be helpful Yours app VJRisk.

Finally, do not want resign from Samsung Today but i want to right softkey run system Contacts to which a shortcut only addrbook.lnk not *.exe file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Can you send me SECContact.exe and I'll test it on my phone.

You can launch system contacts with shortcut:

"\windows\poutlook.exe" contacts

So you can replace addrbook.lnk with

"\windows\poutlook.exe" contacts

Test SECContact.exe by making VJBrisk run something that DOES work, eg the camera application.

Then we can check if the problem is in the shortcuts or the VJBrisk app.

Error 2 means a parsing error in reading in the shortcut. It's probably an unusual shortcut format...

Send me the shortcuts and the file and I'll fix it from my side.

V
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Budniu:
Does not work :(

Ok, I understand that you want a shortcut, because the original file SECContact.exe is remove from ROM so is not needed anything.

If not what file You send ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Budniu:
Ok. Check e-mail.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Budniu:
I have the problem solved. I changed the hash value to:

24#"\Windows\poutlook.exe" contacts

and it work. THX
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] linuxis:
Hey I found the problem. Had the same with Resco Photo Manager.

Problem is in lnk file format. Change from Unicode to ANSI :) :) :) and there will be no problem about #: or something like that ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] igoivo:
Hi, I have the same Error 2 while using the shortcut attached. The shortcut itself works. Could you, please, take a look what's wrong?
[Touch Pro CDMA] CoolTommy:
Is there a way to use a custom tone/.mp3 for received text messages?
[Touch Pro CDMA] danibbs:
Just save the mp3 into you windows folder. then when you go to settings/sounds&notifications you can assign your mp3 for your text ring tone.
[Touch Pro CDMA] CoolTommy:
Awesome, thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] scionman1:
I have a At&T htc fuze. I have the Diamond TF3D Config and the 3.5 framework installed. I am trying to install a theme for my phone. I made a folder and put the theme in that, but when I go and try to open that folder in the TF3D config program it won't open. HELP please.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
So I am new to the PPC world. I just got my Titan a little over a week ago and it's my first one. Since getting it I have flashed it probably 25 times and have completely become obsessed with it. I didn't find any kind of benchmarking on all of the current roms that are out right now, so I decided I would go ahead and do it. There is nothing scientific about this. It's not really fair to compare some of the roms considering one like dcd comes completely stripped down versus Reloaded that has lots of apps, m2d, TouchFLO, etc. For this reason I have a "best" in each category which DCD won almost every time, and then a "best non-dcd". But the data should still help some people decide what rom they might want to use.

I did each one the same way. Flashed the rom, did a hard reset, installed spb benchmark and oxios hibernate if the rom didn’t include it. I then did a soft reset and checked free ram and then ran oxios and logged ram after that. I then ran benchmark and saved the results.

There are only a couple of things worth mentioning and both are about PPCKitchen. I did a basic but not stripped down rom. I included what apps I would typically use. It was a rom very close to Reloaded but with less stuff in it. I know it’s a kitchen so anyone doing this might come up with different results. Secondly is that I was unable to successfully complete the Arkaball test while running the PPCKitchen rom without it freezing, so you will see a 0 as a result in that test.

I performed the following tests in Spb benchmark:

File system tests

Carried out to measure the speed of working with files:

* Read 1 MB file

* Copy 1 MB file

* Read 10KBx100 files

* Copy 10KBx100 files

* Directory list of 2000 files

* Internal database read

Graphics tests

Carried out to measure target Pocket PC's graphics subsystem performance:

* DDB BitBlt

* DIB BitBlt

* GAPI BitBlt

Miscellaneous Tests

* Compress 1 MB file using ZIP

* Decompress 1024x768 JPEG file

* Arkaball frames per second

* CPU test: Whetstones MFLOPS

* CPU test: Whetstones MOPS

* CPU test: Whetstones MWIPS

* Copy 1MB using memcpy

The results were surprising in some ways but obvious in others. In most cases the rom with the most amount of free memory performed the best, but you will see that’s not true in every case. I will start off with free memory for each rom.

Oh and it's important to note that the results are how many ms (milliseconds) it took the test to finish. So a higher bar in the graph is actually worse, except for free memory of course.

This is going to be split across a lot of posts because apparently I can’t link more than 4 images per post. :)

Edit: Compressed results to fewer graphics, also making it easier to read and compare.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
Note: nuerom3-201 in high memory mode actually LOST ram when running Oxios after boot. I tested multiple times. The only theory I have is there is actually so much free memory that you are seeing the memory that Oxios uses. Unfortunately all this free ram was not reflected in the benchmarks as high memory mode actually performed worse than low memory in almost every test.

Note 2: The current results do not show post-Oxios because I am not the only one benchmarking and I don't have Oxios results for all tests.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
PPCKitchen Roms Results

As requested, I have tested all 4 current builds that come up in PPCKitchen. I built them all the same way and tested them the same way. I rebuilt and re-tested 20931 despite having tested it right above this one to make sure my results were consistent.

All roms were built using the following options:

sprint carrier, vistahide battery gauge, skip welcome, comm manager 6-button flat, office excel, office powerpoint, office word, adobe reader, total commander file explorer, htc enlarge start menu, htc titan camera, arcsoft mms 5, nueled, nuelight, oxios memory, touchflo 2d dialer, icontact, no sms sent notification, htc touch keyboard, manila 2d, manila 2d customizer, ftouchflo.

These options were chosen for no reason other than it's what I would use to build a rom. Obviously changing these options would result in different benchmarking results, so the results are kind of subjective.

All roms were created in PPCKitchen, flashed, hard reset, install spb benchmark, soft reset, check ram and run oxios, then benchmarked.

I'll be testing with Spb benchmark as well over the weekend .. will be testing

dcd4.1 / 3.2.6 / R4R / TR1.3.2 and T6.5.. guess I'll post up my results here

as well, also hope they will not be conflicting .. but confirming ..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
Thanks and nice job..:)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
Well after a long night / morning of testing .. here are my results ..

Using SPB 1.6 PDA test tool ..

Some Notes:

Because ALL DCD ROMs has an great advantage over other ROMs; being that

All DCD ROMs are bare bone, nothing loaded type of base rom .. I decided

to unselect Touch FLO from the R4R, Titan Reloaded and WM6.5 Roms,

this help to level the play field, however the TouchFLO Roms, still had a few

little apps still running, like battery monitor, active task bar manager,

2d dialers, etc.. all running in the bg..

Test configuration:

* TouchFLO disable or removed..

* Today items are re-enable

* screen capture running (used 195k of ram)

Battery monitor, was running during R4R and TR 1.3.2, also active task bar

manager was running during WM6.5 and TR 1.3.2

All ROMs was tested 3 times each, the best of 3 runs are shown, ALSO

One major thing to note, after loading DCD 4.1.2 and TR 1.3.2 available

RAM memory increased by 350-380 KB (0.35 Mb) because of this DCD 4.1.2

shows even more available than norm ..

Summary;

DCD 4.1.2 had an avg. of 1 Mb Free RAM available over all other ROM,

Keep in mind DCD ROMs has less running processes .. still very impressive

Seeing over 27MB of RAM before I loaded the screen capture software ..

Available RAM = DCD 4.1.2

Best write performance = WM6.5

Best overall write performance = WM6.5

Best read performance = DCD 4.1.2

Best overall read performance = WM6.5

Best read/write (copy) performance = DCD 4.1.2

Best overall read/write (copy) performance = WM6.5

Best CPU performance = WM6.5

Best Overall CPU performance = DCD 4.1.2

Best Graphic performance, DCD 4.1.2, R4R and TR 1.3.2 shown

100% the same performance, WM6.5 and DCD 3.2.6 being slower..

Overall Winner IMO WM6.5 reason being, the additional process running

takes up both memory and CPU, plus the fact its M2D ready!!

Also Note .. R4R and TR 1.3.2 are both base on the DCD 3.2.6 ROM,

DCD 4.1.2 is more on par with WM6.5 ROM.

Final note R4 Reloaded fail the (Arkabal frames per sec. test) feeling is something to

do with direct-draw not working correctly .. so for R4R I had to skip that test..

See attach for my raw test files produce by the SPB testing tool .. anyone good with MS Excel

can make a nice 3D chart of my results .. go for it..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
Yea I wanted to get WM 6.5 in the mix but it looks like a CL Kitchen was the only thing available and I haven't had time to sit down and learn how to use it and mess with it.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
I yeah ya.. I got the pre-release .. still doing more test etc.. beta 4 is still up

but the release will be even better .. your test is very cool tho.. as its all 6.1 base os...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
its ok ... found a copy on Rapidshare

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
Sorry that I didn't respond to you sooner. Yea the original email link from spb didn't work for me either. I ended up googling it. :)

The other thing you will find is that the program has the ability to analyze your benchmarks and compare them to other devices, however none of that actually works anymore. It's all web-based and it appears that they took it down. That's why I did it all manually.

I'm looking forward to your results. I will post my actual numbers soon as opposed to just graphs so we can compare.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jph8tr:
Thank you flipzmode and Mr-free! Way above and beyond.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
The new DCD ROM kicks butt, eh? It's odd that 6.5 is worse at graphics right now. Thank you very much for this.

It's obvious that I have a long way to go with my beta ROM, and I'm glad to see that my 1.3.2 is actually outperforming it's predecessors.

Based on the screenshots, it's odd that my 1.3.2's title bar seemed to be different shades of gray between screens, and also it's odd that the icon for the keyboard isn't the one for the new diamond keyboard, did you not install that package? It's a memory hog.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] EbolaCola:
I notice that you only have one result for NueROM. Therefore, I have to assume that you didn't compare it with camera enabled/disabled? I'd suggest doing another round of Nue testing with camera disabled, as it frees up a lot more RAM. (Settings -> System -> Kernel)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
the screenshots shades is just the compression going from .bmp to .jpg

attach you'll find the source .bmp files and .xml results files .. I don't know

about keyboard icon, but yes your keyboard was totally different than all

the others ..

I will run some test on just your ROMs .. from 1.1 to 1.4d1 .. this may show

the improvements you have been making..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
I will combine all of the results in to excel over the next few days. :) Thanks for all the results mr-free!

good job guys, very interesting
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
Well .. it seems that you came close with the ROM 1.3 .. don't know what happened to 1.3.1 and 1.3.2 ..

I'm actually running 1.3 again .. truly sweet ROM.. plus I get my PC to USB mSD storage back :)

Here is the results on build 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 .. try and remember everything you did in 1.3 ..

Same test setup as the others..

Test configuration:

* TouchFLO disable or removed..

* Today items are re-enable

* screen capture running (used 195k of ram)

* Activesync running (idle used 350k)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
I used your results from your previous post of 1.3.2 for "1.3" because the numbers were different from this post. Maybe I'm missing something? I am posting bitserve's stuff first because not only are his roms great but he is an active developer and poster here. : )
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blancmik:
This is Great!

Thank you!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
wow thats so cool .. Thanks man .. yes .. I re-tested 1.3.2 a few more times .. it seems like he may have added something or

remove something that affect performance / memory .. his 1.3 version is the best with memory over all of his other roms ..

1.3.2 used more memory for some reason .. I hope he will find out what happed from 1.3 to 1.3.2 .. as the 1.3 ROM is the best

WM6.1 M2D rom around!!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] rothgar:
I very much am enjoying your results as well but would like too see a bit more done on the nuerom side too. He not only allows you to disable the camera to free up ram but he also has a nuerom-m(minimal) and I think a newer beta available if you are a donator. Can't wait to see the results.

Thanks for taking all the time!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
Thanks again guys. I think the reason why we went down from 1.3 to 1.3.1 was because 1.3 removed all the DSMs and RGUs from \Windows, but it didn't flash from RUU, so I added them back in for 1.3.1.

In 1.3.2 we again have them removed as I figured out the problem, but it has the new keyboard driver installed, as well as the extended ROM driver. Not to mention the IR is now running. Memory hogs all.

I'll have 1.3.3 out in a couple of days. I've optimized the new kernel some more and optimized all of the M2D graphics. I'm also setting some services to unload until needed to free up some resources. So we may see a return to 1.3 measurements even with the new features. I'm Also rolling out my new logo splash screen. :)

Version 1.4.2 beta will be out by this weekend. If I have time, I may check out what DCD is doing in 4.1.2.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
I keep seeing you say that the new keyboard is a memory hog, but I really like it so I hope to not see it go. Of course I could also just cab it myself if it does. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
You are very welcome bitserve.. I see you are keeping track of your changes :)

if you can find a way to stop ActiveSync at start up time that would also

save 300+k

the new keyboard is nice .. big keys and by holding down for a sec makes the

letter caps .. don’t know about the color tho.. I like it a little darker lol but

you know how it goes .. you can’t please everyone just got to go by demand

volume lol if you can load another keyboard and have that one optional

that would be very cool as well..

Keep up the great work..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
I would test nuerom .. got a link to it?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Cycomachead:
nuerom.com has a link right on the left side.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
lol Thanks for the link .. I'll test it out later .. does this ROM has M2D ?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] corey113888:
This is very cool! Thanks for all the hard work! It might also be cool to see the performance between the various builds in PPSKitchen like 20748, 20755, 20924, and 20931. People at PPCgeeks have reported different builds seem to have different performance.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
I tested out only the newest one. I needed to reload a PPCgeek rom anyways temporarily to change something, so I will go ahead and test them out!

I tested out nuerom in mine. Found it to be first in a couple of categories (excluding dcd) but dead last in a large number of categories. We'll see if your results are different! Oh and it doesn't have m2d iirc.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
ahh too bad .. I like M2D .. we have the same test program don't see the point

if you already tested it.. :confused:
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] tssi:
Nice work!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
One reason I never looked at NueROM was because he requires a donation to download the most recent version.. As a result it also wouldn't be appropriate to build a kitchen or custom ROM off of it. Scott felt the same way but actually built his own personal M2D ROM from NueROM, from what I've read.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
Yea. That's the reason I only tested nuerom3-201 (the last one available from his site for free) instead of nuerom3-206 which is the newest one that requires a donation.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] bitserve:
By the way, there is also no way I'm removing this virtual keyboard from Titan Reloaded. I love it too. :)

My goal for this ROM is finger friendly, and the default keyboard definitely wasn't.

I did notice that this one is ITE, and since my ROM is WWE only, we don't need that. The support for ITE takes up way more memory than anything else. I don't know if it's because this came from a Diamond ROM in China, or if they're all that way. I'm going to download a standard WWE Diamond ROM and find out.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr-free:
x2 keep it :)

sweet that makes 3 of us :D .. I was able to use that keyboard with just my fingers and was 95% accurate ..

the stock and other keyboards I could never use them with my big fingers lol
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
I just updated my first posts with better graphics that make it easier to compare everything at one glance. It also let me do all graphics in one post instead of 7. Haha. I don't get a limit of 4 images per post. :p

I am finishing up my testing of all the different ppckitchen roms right now. Will post on the first page when completed.

Edit: PPCKitchen results are up. And after flashing back to Reloaded 1.3.2 my phone won't boot past the HTC logo. lol. Time to fix it!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] EbolaCola:
Have you/are you going to test NueROM in high-memory mode or not? (I posted how to enable it on page 3, in case you've missed it.)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Cycomachead:
nueRom m has pretty much nothing in it, but that's the point and it requires no donation. If someone tests it, I'd be curious for them to conduct the tests using High Memory mode.

numRom 3 does require a donation but includes no2chem's goodies. So, I've only used older versions and prefer clean roms.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
I'll test it in high memory mode for you guys tomorrow. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] EbolaCola:
Ah, yeah, I use Nuerom3-pre3, myself. That one's still only available by donating. I just tossed him $1 & grabbed it. :)

I think Nuerom-M does have the high-memory mode, though. (Don't quote me on that)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] flipzmode:
So it appears the nuerom-M is already "minimal" and you can't disable the camera? If someone wants me to benchmark nuerom3-current they will have to send it to me. ha.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Cycomachead:
It has high mem mode. I tried if for a day a while ago, and preferred DCD's work.

Also, if you're not on sprint, don't let it's customizations run.
