flashing to an unofficial rom is against the T&C's for both AT&T and HTC, however, this is ONLY IF you get caught!

so, if you flash, and then make sure the device is flashed back to the original rom, you shouldnt have any problem

this includes any SPL's/Radios/boot screens just in case you manage to encounter that rare breed of tech support guys who actually know a thing or two about these handsets!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
I'm not recommending this, but I've saw a couple posts about sticking the phone in a microwave for 2 seconds to completely FRY it. LOL...I guess that would work, if you cant flash it back the way it came from at&t
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rvt1000:
i agree with the microwave idea of your phone bricks or is damaged/run over. even with physical damage, if there's any question of intent, you never know if att might throw a socket reader on and check the ROM..... I'd still nuke it before sending it in...

2-3 seconds on the microwave won't blow your phone up, only fry it like a cd in a microwave....cool party trick, try some time....

Which one u feel better. wimo 6.1 or 6.5??? (doing survey)

After i try both, i still feel 6.1 suit me.

Reply me with two answer

1)Which u feel better, reason?

2)Which rom r u using now.

Thank.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
I like 6.5 better.

1) I liked TF3D, but Titanium does all the same stuff for me and is much lighter on resources.

2) Even though the start menu is a little slower, I still like it better than the older versions.

3) I like the scrolling menus, I don't have to use the stylus as much.

4) With the recent builds, its getting up to the speed of 6.1.

I'm using RRE v3.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
6.5 for me

speed is better, start menu is better, scrolling is better

and you can still use tf3d especially rhodium version you lose nothing by upgrading
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] studentjunk:
I hate 6.5 start menu. I kinda like the 6.1 menu and link to programs/settings, with my shortcut list.

I've also had some compatibility issues with 6.5.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
6.5 here. I like the Chome/Titanium interface better than touchflo3d.

Screen refreshes faster.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rhoff412:
I've noticed that all the wm6.5 roms I've tried, seem to bug after time. The bug I'm talking about is the messaging slowing down in response after time. It seems like it's because there are more messages. Is this a wm6.5 bug?

1. I like wm6.5's speed. It seems to lag less, but overall max performance is the same I think (not tested using any speed test)

2. I'm currently using RREs 6.5 rom v5
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thesilentnight:
Im starting to like 6.5. The speed and stability of the rom im using (rre) is winning me over. The start menu is the only thing i dont like, but everything else is good to go, at least for me
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rvt1000:
Love 6.5...............BUT going with 6.1 since some software (medical) isn't supported yet on 6.5 (epocrates specifically - at least, without losing autoupdate feature)....

Once that is taken care of, back to 6.5 for me. Loved the speed and the menu actually.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wildcard26:
I wasn't much of a fan of 6.5 but I decided to geive Energy 3.0 Phoenix a swing and so far it is going well. I think that ROM brought me over. I will try RRE some time later since I was using RRE 5.8 before and it is still my favourite 6.1.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] grandmast:
You can install QuickMenu and just make sure it's not set to replace the start menu. Then get the best of both worlds.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Roland Deschain:
6.5, IMO. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] apinkel:
6.5, primarily due to the native slide-to-unlock screen... I had problems with 3rd party solutions. The 6.5 app is all I need, no more, no less and it just works. I prefer the new menus as well... they are a little more finger friendly.

But I still prefer TF3D over titanium.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] majkeljj:
I tested 6.5 and it's ok but I hate new start menu.

Menus works perfect - I really like it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Loved4me:
IMHO i would say 6.5, it is alot more finger friendly, battery usage and speed are about the same for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ericino:
1) For me 6.5 is way better, everything looks nicer and scrolling is soooo much smoother... New start menu (without Honeycomb) is so nice and smooth... Still like TF3D2 better then Chrome, it reserves more space for the screen selected and provides a better oversight.

2) Using EnergyROM 2009/06/12, it's incredibly stable and FAST
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] euphoria47:
tried 6.5 and hated it, back to 6.1 start menu, "finger friendly" context menus were WAY to big. I bought a vga device to have MORE info per screen, not huge, zoomed in fonts
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
It looks like the future of applications for Windows Mobile is leaning towards silverlight 2. So My goal for this summer is to create a good, fun or useful application using silver light. I just need some ideas. What do you guys want? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
One app I've been looking for for years. Some apps have some functionality but nothing puts it together in a simple package.

Location Aware Reminders

set up points on a map where a reminder of user defined text would pop up when the device is within a specified distance from that point.

Case #1:

I get off of my freeway exit going home, pass the stoplight before the store, my device plays a recording "DUDE! PICK UP SOME MILK!".

Case #2:

I drive away from my house on a vacation, my device plays a recording "Did you remember to pack your underwear?"

User should be able to:

1. View a map with current location based on gps.

2. Move map to different locations.

3. Define and save a point on the map.

4. Define a distance from that point where reminder would fire.

5. Define the text of a reminder.

6. Define an audio file as a reminder.

7. Define a title for reminder

8. View list of reminders

9. When reminder fires there should be a Snooze and Delete Option.

10. Reminders should have a date/time window of when to fire.

10 ex. All Days, only between 4pm and 7pm.

10 ex. On May 25th. any time.

Yes, there are apps that "sort of" do this. But they are unuseable for this use.

Keeping the functionality simple and specific will ensure EASE OF USE and actual functionality.

I will GLADLY pay you $10 for this app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Would it use GPS or the GSM/3G Network to determine location? Also what navigation software would this use for the maps? This is a good idea however this seems very intermediate. More ideas people.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
It would be nice if my wife could easily make entries via a website or a client on her desktop. (maybe not).

Actually, it would be kinda interesting. Driving down the street and having the app pop up something my friend put in there.

So you could have a group, and allow people to post GPS Pop Ups to your app.

"This is where I proposed to my wife".

"Don't even bother coming to the game tonight sucka cuz you're goin' down".

That would be kinda fun.

Just thinking out loud.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
This is a great Idea. Only problem it is not even close to easy and I have no gps experience. But i might assemble a team to create this. :)

This is very easy to answer:

1) To the date there isn't a SINGLE mobile e-mail client on the market, which is SIMPLE and FINGER FRIENDLY. In fact, there isn't any finger friendly e-mail clients at all. I think hords of users would welcome this kind of app.

2) Also there still isn't an on-demand connection chooser - look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408243

Wow. I had the exact same idea. I'll be making this in silverlight/xaml since I know it's the future of WinMo.

Me and a couple of friends are trying to do this on 3 different platforms - and will be using WPF/Silverlight for WinMo
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FloatingFatMan:
Don't we kinda need the WM Silverlight runtime first? ;) Last time I checked, it's not out yet.

G-Profile??

For #2, I might be completely misunderstanding you, but have you looked into G-Profile for this?

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Blowfish64:
Yep. Pretty much :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aiiro:
@ Sean D:

About #2. You remember back in the dial-up days when You started Internet Explorer it had an option whether to ask the connection to use or not? Well, I think for PPC and the apps that need internet connection this would be the ideal solution - if You start PIE for example, the system will ask You whether You'd like to use WiFi or GPRS or whatever else connections You have and You'd just check the option that suites You the most at the given location. If You're in a cafe with free WiFi You'd choose to use WiFi, if You're in the woods You'd choose GPRS (or 3G or whatever similar). Instead of manually connecting to desired network before launching browser. I hope You get the idea...

G-profile is not asking You how to connect, it just manages Your connections with profiles for different occasions. You'd still have to manually choose a profile with the desired connections before launching a browser.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sean D.:
Ha!

Okay, I misunderstood you. But the funny thing is, i was just thinking that WM needs this function the other day.

So yeah, this gets my vote too. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aiiro:
Good, then it's settled :)

Well, OK, just one minor issue left - kinda have to wait for the approval from the thread starter too :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ND4SPD:
The whole point of this thread is that since it's pretty much confirmed there will be a silverlight or some type of WPF subset for WinMo, applications can be designed so that when devices do release, some changes can be made (e.g. support for accelerometer) so that the program can be released from the get-go.

It's also to provide devs with some practice with WPF/Silverlight :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sudermatt:
I could care less about how it's written....I got $10 burnin a whole in my pocket for this app...

How to delete contacts from Outlook ?

cos i have 200 contacts & is there a bulk way to remove

or have to do each one by one ?

& my phone for some reason is not updateing contacts

that i add & updated on my phone

so after i remove all contacts from outlook will it sync

or should i create new partnership

from phone to PC

Please Need Help
[General Questions and Answers] rafaelegomezb:
Create new Contacts folder

The syncronization between WinMo with Outlook via Activesync regarding the contacts is done using the default Outlook contacts folder. So, what I use to do is to create another contacts folder and move there as many contacts as I want not meant to be sync'd. This way, I achive what I want, and keep intact all the remaining contacts, which you can move back and forth as you please, any time.

However, my understanding of "syncronization" is not all these tricks (I know that sometimes there is no other way) but a single utility that syncs, echoes, replicates or whatsoever. From this point of view, I would like to reiterate the original question: Is there "something" to sync My Phone with Outlook?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] deedee:
FWIW i have the same issue with my Xperia connected toOutlook and a mail2web Exchange account. The only commonality is my Xperia in the middle and the only working solution has been to clear out the Outlook Calendar and Contacts before resynching, after allowing time for the OTA Exchange to finish.

I've been using the autorotation feature on my x7501 for a while, and it's alright, but definitely not always needed. I'd rather a hardware button initiate rotation.

Is this possible?

Hello.

I use Hbutton application.

With this application, you can assign different applications to the hardware buttons.

For example I use the camera button to star the camera, PocketScreen, and Rotate right.

I'm not sure, but the rotation came with some Home plugging or task managers.

Is just that you explore the software.

just google Hbutton. I use the version 2.3.

I've attached a .cab.pkg for NetCF2. Open up mscoree.dll in a hex editor, and check out the MNGE header. This file becomes a module once processed by the ImageUpdate system. Note that all the executables (.exe/.dll/.mui) that become modules contain this MNGE header. All executables that are inserted into ROM as files keep their normal MZ file header. The first major step here will be in being able to convert between MZ<-->MNGE freely :) NetCF2 is a well known package that can be found in any stock ROM, so with this we have a good baseline to work with.

http://rapidshare.com/files/238295848/netcf.cab.pkg
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Da_G:
--Reserved--
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aruppenthal:
So theoretically if we get this working we can apply updates to ANY portion of a rom via the .cab.pkg system. To XIP,SYS,or OEM without flashing a new rom. Essentially with this system working we would never need to flash again unless a major corruption occured?

Ive always been confused as to why autoupdate was included in roms still. I guess this sheds some light on it. I know that several individuals have toyed with OTA updates in the past. This could make that and a whole lot more a reality.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
It seems to me silly that we aren't exploiting the MS autoupdate feature already...

I have no idea how to get it to work, but I'd love to have it working! :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Da_G:
Yes, the .cab.pkg is the key to this whole thing, I already know how to redirect the Windows Mobile Auto Update client to look at another server, and i've studied the connection, it's a simple HTTPS connection, WinMo sends the server a manifest of all the .dsm's contained within your ROM, with version info, then the server checks against it's internal list of packages, if it finds an update, it pushes a URL to the device, which then triggers a download (it requests you to plug in the activesync cable if you've not checked the box to 'use my data connection for updates') - once the .cab.pkg is downloaded, it's checked against the signatures on the system, once verified the system reboots into the ULDR, and the update is applied.

I've attached a NetCF2 package to my first post, I can't get it to deploy on my ROM (fails during validation step) but it contains the modules in MNGE format, if we can decipher that format there's a whole bunch of goodies that will become available...

Also these packages can even be used to update the radio rom, it seems. So essentially everything but the Bootloader/ULDR can be updated with .cab.pkgs. It even looks like we can resize existing packages (i.e. remove files or modules from the ROM entirely) - this is something we can't do at all right now without a flash!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
So in theory, there could be a central place for SYS/XIP packages, where as and when new XIP/SYS updates come out, they can be uploaded and pushed to every device?

Have you worked out how to create the cab.pkg files, or is the one you've attached one taken from platform builder?

Just a thought:

Could the MNGE headered files not be replaced by files from a converted module, thus getting around the problem of what the hell the MNGE format does? Sure, we lose the ability to have modules instead of files, but it does bring more immediate benefits to your findings...

EDIT:

The MNGE headered files are smaller than the MZ equivalents... Are they simply a compressed version?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Da_G:
Yep, not pushed though as that needs to be triggered via an OMA-DM SMS message, and it's not practical for someone to maintain a database of all our numbers for such a purpose.. but easily though settings - autoupdate

I am able to extract files from .cab.pkg with winrar and 7zip, not able to create them just yet.. working on that. This one came from a blue birdy. ;)

The MNGE headered files could indeed be replaced by a converted module, but in this case, there's a different reason for needing to convert from MNGE -> MZ, :)

It appears to me as though the file size difference had to do with the PE executable headers that are missing..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
Oh right. It's not hard to just check for updates every so often.

I just ran Cab2OEM on the cab.pkg files, and it extracts fine. So cab.pkg files are just cab files in terms of compression.

Is that because there are more up to date MNGE file versions than the MZ equivalents?

Is it just a case of replacing the file headers? *opens up hex edit*
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Da_G:
Yep. the compression is your typical cab compression. That's why winrar and 7zip can open 'em and extract, but they don't support adding (i imagine cabarc would...

Yes, there are more up to date MNGE file versions than the MZ equivalents. :)

Unfortunately it doesn't look quite as simple as a simple hex copypasta, not terribly much more difficult though.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] l3v5y:
Where are you getting your MNGE files from? Or does your blue birdy wish to remain anonymous? :D

EDIT:

Looking at the hex, apart from the file header, the main difference seems to be that the whitespace has been removed in the MNGE version...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] NRGZ28:
Do you know what a "hint" is ? I'd say quit asking... If he wanted to say who the birdy was, he would. Thank you!:p
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ervius:
put cabarc.exe intoa folder, then create a new subfolder called "package", put inside all files you need for package (dsm and rgu also!)

open in cabarc.exe root folder a dos prompt and write:

cabarc.exe N new_pack.cab.

pkg package\*.*

some seconds and you'll have the .pkg file ready, but nothing I know on how to install by the rom!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Da_G:
Thanks for the input ervius! :)

Installing into the ROM is simple, .cab.pkg is treated similar to a .cab by Windows Mobile, simply copying to device and clicking on it in file explorer allows you to install - device will authenticate signature, then do some further checking (i think checking on current packages in device by .dsm) - then once validated reboot into ULDR to apply update.
