Thanks @ all.

I'M sorry it's not a registry issue. Why did HTC sell a phone with a problem like ths. It is very disturbing to wait that long and I mis calls that way.

The good news is that Diamond Tweaker seems to hava shortend the waiting time to about 4 seconds on my first test.

Keep up the good work

Hello,

I was hoping if anyone has come across a Free, Simple, dictionary application for WM6 (I am looking to run it on HTC HD).

If not free, if you have come across a good, relatively not expensive one, that would also be of some help. Dont need any fancy features! Just words with meanings.

Thank you for your help friends.
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Mdict sounds like what you're looking for. It's a completely free dictionary viewer, and a few different dictionaries can be found for download at the bottom of the linked page on their site (also free).

I dont know if you are willing to move e-readers, but I can across a free offer from Microsoft.

They have a free dictionary that can link from the Microsoft Reader (also free).... just head on over to the microsoft site.

[HD2 General] hnparedes:
First I used 809 (UK) and, for example, the Settings page was with the IDs and not the description (e.g. IDS_).

Now I've 409 (US) and it's better. The options are not all covered, but it's much better than the 809. Under the Start menu, there are few modifications, but not many.

no the htc touch (elf/elfin) will not run on Telus' new HSPA/3G network.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bogdi1988:
This is for the people that already have Cyanogen 4.2.3.1 and Nav working.

Download the Cyanogen update and place it on your SD card.

If you use the Dark Dream theme, download that also and place it on the SD card.

Reboot phone to Recovery partition and connect it to your computer.

Make a nandroid backup to have just in case.

Run 'apply zip' and apply Cyanogen's update and then the theme if you have that. (The latest Dark Dream version is 1.2)

DO NOT REBOOT PHONE YET

Download my 2 files and place them where you have access to adb. (i did not have my paths installed for the SDK)

Go to terminal on your computer. I did this on a mac, but it should work regardless.

Run the following commands:

./adb remount

./adb push build.trout.prop /system

./adb push build.sapphire.prop /system

Now select on the menu to reboot the phone and wait for it to reboot.

Enjoy your Cyanogen Mod 4.2.4 with Nav working :)

[Imagio ROM Development] walkeryan:
I'm in the process of Developing the HSPL for the Imagio. The last one I did for myself was back on the PPC6700 so its been a while. I've never seen anything like this. I purchased the Imagio a few weeks ago and love it, when I read that it was exclusive to Verizon and a HSPL would be hard to come by I decided to start developing again. Cmonex will most definitely finish before me however I've decided to press on because I like a good challenge. I was using the raw dumps from this thread but decided to use my own phone just to make sure nothing is lost in transit. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress. If anyone has any advice on these processors or any other information, please feel free to post please.

Who finishes first has my donation!!! You should jump on this and try to get it done first! Good luck! I donated for the Touch Pro2, ** great job cmonex! ** Now this one (Imagio) is one bad a$$ phone, I even like it more than my TP2, it's just a beauty! Also, a SIM unlocker and Radio (if it's not unlocked already, not sure) would also be awesome! I can't get Verizon to give me my unlock code, I don't have service with them, I whodinied the phone...

I don't know which carrier you are WITH but neither

my wife or I had our contract up and we both got

new Imagio's. Carriers are usually HAPPY to have

you sign up for another 2 years even if your 2 years

is not up yet.

I agree getting a new phone costs money and since

you already own a Touch Pro 2 - I don't think there

is a BIG Difference between the two. Waiting for a

HD2 might be a better time.
[Imagio ROM Development] walkeryan:
Sorry guys

Yeah, I'm sorry guys I posted an update on the ppcgeeks forums but completely forgot about this thread. I gave it three solid nights up until 5 am trying to get any headway but couldn't get write access to system files. I decided to go with the Touch Pro 2 since I was still within my 30 period. After using it for 3 days I would have to say that surprisingly with the stock rom and same setup as my Imagio the battery life lasted twice as long, no exaggeration. Again I hope cmon can get an HSPL working for you guys because it would be a bad *** device if you could get the verizon crap off of it and get the memory usage down. Feel free to use this thread for any discussion or news if anyone hears anything about a HSPL.
[Imagio ROM Development] Sweeny Russ:
It isn't easy. But I have a huge problem with people that say they are going to do something and don't follow through especially when I'm waiting to blow my flashing wad. I'm becoming impatient because the reason I buy windows mobile phones is due to this particular forum. I know I have the backing of thousands of good developers and experienced users. When I hear in a post that someone two days later gives up, yea I get a little cheesed. With my diamond, touch pro, pro2, vogue, mogul....I have never had to wait this long. And until this I have never added a negative post because I cannot develop hspl so I don't criticize. However, if you are bold enough to say you will be working on it and then say you're not I will criticize the hell out of it. If you can't s**t get off the pot. This stems from my childhood of broken promises by the way.:) I honestly believe walkeryan was just blowing smoke up all of our skirts and knew he wasn't capable of this in the first place.
[Imagio ROM Development] fwaits:
Most of those devices were released elsewhere in the world before the US so there was more time for someone to work on them as they had access to ROM dumps prior. The Imagio is a first time release for VZW or anywhere so it's understandable to be taking longer relative to when it dropped in the US. I only hope the work done with the TP2, makes the Imagio work much less as I would think they are very similar. I could be very wrong too of course. =)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlefeuvre:
Hi,

Got a Branded HTC Touch Diamond 2 (aka Topaz) from SFR (Vodafone) France upgraded to 6.5 official ROM.

Versions are as follow :

ROM Version 2.16.163.3 (67041) FRE

Windows CE 5.2.21854 Build 21864.5.0.80

Total Memory 185.92MB

Manila Sense version 2.1.19192532.5

So System about tab shows 185,92MB total memory. (thought it was much more than that but, let's assume a certain amount of memory is reserved for manila or whatever ..)

After a soft reset, HTC task manager shows approx 50% Used memory.

At the end of a day use, used memory grows to 90% !!! EVEN WITH ALL PROGRAMS CLOSED.

And there is no way to recover memory (using cleanram, oxio or whatever).

Now what I don't understand :

* gwes.exe seems to be the culprit as its memory grows very high (more than 34MB) but how can a standard winmo 6.5 process can have a memory leak ???

* Now the funny part, taking all processes shows in Fdcoft task Manager (the best ever), and summing all process used memory, I have the following :

Process Name	Memory

gwes.exe	30594

cprog.exe	7141

filesys.exe	5404

device.exe	4581

Pocketwit.exe	4222

Opera9.exe	2753

manila.exe	2070

services.exe	1788

shell32.exe	1719

Audiomanager_eng	842

tmail.exe	802

PhonelogService.exe	444

lumos.exe	333

connmgr.exe	115

TaskMgr.exe	114

AlbumSearcher.exe	63

ResInfo.exe	56

batti.exe	4

SAPSettings.exe	3

MFDownload.exe	3

NK.EXE	1

TOTAL	63052

Taking the total memory (186) minus the memory used, we have

186-63 = 123

So I should have 123MB free and looking at free memory amout in Task Manager or ResInfo, I have only 24MB FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Question, where are the missing 100MB ???????????

Somebody, please Help !!!!

Thanks a lot !!

[General Topics] Chainfire:
This is a continuation of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567870, which covered cracking the original "basic" copy protection of Marketplace.

---

I have now cracked the "advanced" copy protection used by Marketplace. As you may know, this is a "better" protection than the original "CAB copy protection" Marketplace offered. This "advanced" protection uses license keys that are verified when you run the application, and given out and controlled by Microsoft.

Several developers are annoyed that Microsoft does not allow us to use our own licensing schemes, and are forced to use "no protection" (the original CAB copy protection) or use Microsoft's scheme which is essentially

a single point of failure

for all Marketplace protected apps.

This new "advanced" protection was released today by Microsoft, and as far as I know no app available already uses it at the time of this writing.

So I got the code snippets you are supposed to put in your app and it was simply jawdroppingly WTF. While it was not exactly easy to beat, it took me

less than two hours

to devise a "generic" hack, without modifying any files on the device. (Well hey, at least it's better than the 5 minutes it took for the "basic" protection, right?)

A "generic" hack? Yes, by this I mean that this single hack (actually, running an EXE in the background) will completely bypass the entire code snippet provided by Microsoft that is supposed to check and validate your license code, for all Marketplace apps that use this "advanced" protection.

I will

not

publish the code that performs this hack, so don't ask. My goal is not to crack Marketplace apps, my goal is to get MS off their ass and allow us to use our own licensing systems, like the good little resellers they're supposed to be. I will tell you that it has to do with runtime patching the crypto API, but that's it. All in all, I don't think it will take long for the warez people to duplicate this hack.

---

Some further reasoning about anti-piracy, solutions, etc can be found in post 13 on page 2.
[General Topics] Ganondolf:
if there are no apps that use it yet, how do u know your hack works?
[General Topics] Chainfire:
Because the Marketplace portal provides code ("code snippet") you have to compile in your EXE, and that takes care of the whole licensing thing.

So you look at that source, spot the weak points, devise a hack. Then compile a program using said "code snippet" and try the hack on it.

If developers simply copy/paste the snippet they are given by the Marketplace portal, this hack will work.

[General Topics] mnet:
anti-piracy protection is intended to stop ordinary users from transferring cabs between devices and it is successful at that. there is no protection that will stop apps from being pirated, certainly not for handheld devices. the new advanced protection is adequate and any further techniques are redundant and a waste of time, because no matter how 'strong' they are, they WILL be cracked.

Hello Chainfire,

I am the webmaster of the Tamoggemon Content network, and just covered you:

http://tamsppc.tamoggemon.com/2009/11/13/advanced-marketplace-drm-broken/

http://tamswms.tamoggemon.com/2009/11/13/advanced-marketplace-drm-broken/

Furthermore, an email went out to MSFT asking for a statement. but this is not the reason why I registered here (!!!) - I am instead here to vent a bit being a Symbian dev myself.

While I fully understand your frustration, I think that allowing every developer to run his own DRM is not gonna do the store good. The reason is that the store was made to make purchasing apps simple - and by allowing everyone to run his own DRM I dont see much of a venue to do this anymore.

Whenever some kind of backend gets involved, there is a single point of failure - the only trhing I can think off now would be a very complet system based on servers.

Or, of course, platform security like on S60. But trust me - we wont want that!
[General Topics] Chainfire:
Thanks! However, if you read my other post carefully you'd see it wouldn't make any difference to the ease of using the store (it wouldn't make any difference for the user at all), just to a part of the backend. And of course, each DRM system has a single point of failure, but the difference is in my case there is a point of failure per app, while in the current case it's a single point of failure for everything. There is no perfect solution, but there are better solutions than the current one.

I've been contacted by a handful of big WM devs by now who are of somewhat the same opinion.

Is this because of the custom ROM and the latest update to the marketplace, or is this something other people are experiencing? :confused:
[General Topics] mnet:
Remember the days when purchased mp3s were DRM protected and some companies like Sony even put rootkits on music CDs? Did that stop piracy?

Hopefully Microsoft will not repeat these mistakes... There is no need for any further 'protection' for marketplace apps. If a developer isn't satisfied with this mechanism then he/she doesn't have to publish their apps on the marketplace. There's no point in having a centralized app store if every developer uses his/her own licensing scheme.
